The Quotes of The Day


Quote I

“We all crowded in to their little table and one guy [who was waiting] started flipping out, yelling that it was supposed to be his. It was a little cramped and the tables around us were staring, but you have to do what you have to do and we were hungry.” Mitch Modell

*


Quote II

“We saved the city of St. Louis the expense of pursuing this nonsense, and then we’ll move forward,” McCloskey told Newsmax, adding that the charges were lowered to “a new crime which basically said I purposely placed other people in the apprehension of imminent physical harm.” Mark McCloskey


*


Quote III


“When will PPB recognize this overwhelming desire for change and align their values with the people of Portland? I remain deeply concerned these RRT resignations are yet another example of a rogue paramilitary organization that is unaccountable to the elected officials and residents of Portland.”Portland, OR Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty


*


Quote IV

“They’re bending and massaging the ordinance to fit the crime. This is a blatant attempt to silence me.” Michael Wasserman


*

Quote V


“You talk of global warming; hell will freeze over before I start listening to the Greens,”Acting Australian Prime Minister Michael McCormack

HOW COULD THEY? Fury as dog meat festival gets underway in China with 5,000 to be butchered and eaten over 10 days

A DOG meat festival is underway in China, with 5,000 dogs to be butchered and eaten over 10 days.

Despite outcries over animal cruelty and health risks attached to the Yulin Dog Meat Festival, its claimed the pooches were still being transported to the city in preparation for slaughter.

So is the JEF on his way over to participate?

A sound business decision or an admission that "journalists" are juvenile pussies? CBC Turns Off Facebook Comments To Protect "Fragile" Journalists' Mental Health And "Protect Free Speech"

In a move that can only be described as the pinnacle of embracing snowflake culture, the CBC has said this week it is going to close comments on all of its news links and video posts to Facebook pages to protect the mental health of its journalists.

Journalists - who used to be rugged and used to deal with varying opinions as part of the job description - are "fragile" and "in need of attention", like many other Canadians post-pandemic, the CBC wrote last week. Increasingly, they are facing "vitriol and harassment" for doing their jobs, the report notes.

"For journalists, platforms like Twitter can be a great way to find sources and promote their work, but also a cesspool of hatred. Increasingly, reporters are also physically attacked," Andre Picard told CBC.

When is enough, enough?

Evanston commemorated the abolition of slavery with a parade and community celebration on Juneteenth — June 19, the day on which the abolition of slavery is annually celebrated — complete with art, music, and food at a local park.

There will also be a Gay Pride parade next Saturday, June 26.

The city, however, has canceled its July 4th live celebration over COVID-19, and has not indicated that it will hold similar festivities to honor America's birthday.

I guess they forgot that these photos go into their permanent record. Genius Award Winners.

The Bellaire and Bridgeport Police departments teamed up to execute a search warrant in Bellaire on Monday night as part of a drug investigation that Bridgeport police have been working on.

Three people were arrested at a home in the 4200 block of Trumbull Street – 28-year-old Matthew Hartung, 26-year-old Janae Snyder, and 31-year-old Marc McPherson.

Reason #211 why I despise my governmnet. Warrant? We don't need no stinking warrant.(H/T redc1c4)

Feds accused of seizing $85 million from safe deposit boxes without 'any legal basis'

Class-action suit claims FBI exceeded its search warrant and is forcing renters of boxes to prove their innocence.

Hundreds of people storing valuables in safe deposit boxes in Los Angeles may never see their cash, precious metals and heirlooms again, unless a federal judge intervenes in the next week.

Several are suing the government for seizing the contents of about 800 boxes as part of a March raid of the storage provider, U.S. Private Vaults (USPV), which was indicted for conspiracy to sell drugs and launder money.

What is free speech? Is burning an American flag a hateful exercise? I would say yes, but it has been ruled legal speech? Is desecrating a publicly owned statue of a "bad white man" speech or a crime? Florida man hit with felony charges for massive burnout on LGBTQ pride crosswalk. Is this a criminal act or free speech? I guess it all depends on what side you get lubed.

A Florida man faces felony charges for the supposed crime of purposefully performing a burnout on a taxpayer-funded gay pride street mural in Delray Beach last Monday.

While reportedly participating in a birthday rally for former President Donald Trump, Florida resident Alexander Jerich, 20, drove his pickup truck over the mural and then performed a burnout.

A burnout is a maneuver in which a driver keeps their car stationary but spins the wheels, causing their vehicle’s tires to produce smoke from the friction of the rubber spinning on pavement.

In this case, Jerich’s burnout also created a black streak that marred the mural.

The evidence against Jerich includes both the video above and eyewitness reports.

“According to the arrest report, a witness told police that particular intersection happened to be along the parade route for Trump supporters. The witness said he was two cars in front of the suspect when he heard another man yell something like, ‘Adam, tear up that gay intersection,'” local station WTVX reported.

“The witness described the driver of the Chevy pickup truck as a man in his twenties with blonde shoulder-length hair with curls. The witness said the truck had a blue Trump flag on the tailgate.”

Using the video footage above, authorities were able to trace Jerich by his license plate number, after which they reportedly spoke with him and he then voluntarily turned himself in.

But local left-wing activists were not satisfied. They began demanding that local Republicans apologize for Jerich’s actions.

Big Tech just got bigger. Amazon comes for Netflix’s throne with $8.45 billion MGM purchase
The ruthless war between the world’s leading video-on-demand companies has reached a climax

The ruthless war between the world’s leading video-on-demand companies reached a climax when the Amazon acquired the legendary Hollywood studio MGM (Metro Goldwyn Mayer) in a deal worth US$8.45 billion.

The sale of MGM on May 26 followed more than six months of negotiations. The American studio known for its roaring lion had been weakened by major financial difficulties before the pandemic. The prolonged closure of movie theatres was the final nail in its coffin.

Although the MGM studio had a low market value (estimated at only US$5.5 billion a few months ago), several giants of the digital industry, including Apple, were interested in buying it. But it was Amazon that won the bid and made history by becoming the first player in the video streaming industry to acquire a major Hollywood studio.

I'm not sure about you, but I enjoy scratching a dog's chin and they usually like it. Not this one, a headless dog robot.

In 2017, we first wrote about the Chinese startup Unitree Robotics, which had the goal of “making legged robots as popular and affordable as smartphones and drones.” Relative to the cost of other quadrupedal robots (like Boston Dynamics’ $74,000 Spot), Unitree’s quadrupeds are very affordable, with their A1 costing under $10,000 when it became available in 2020. This hasn’t quite reached the point of consumer electronics that Unitree is aiming for, but they’ve just gotten a lot closer: now available is the Unitree Go1, a totally decent looking small size quadruped that can be yours for an astonishingly low $2700.

Is there hope around the corner for drug addiction that does not respond to normal treatment? Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — After nearly two decades of hardcore drug addiction — after overdoses and rehabs and relapses, homelessness and dead friends and ruined lives — Gerod Buckhalter had one choice left, and he knew it.

He could go on the same way and die young in someone’s home or a parking lot, another casualty in a drug epidemic that has claimed nearly 850,000 people like him.

Or he could let a surgeon cut two nickel-size holes in his skull and plunge metal-tipped electrodes into his brain

19 Juneteenth is a TEXAS holiday. I'm sick of non-Texans trying to appropriate it. Do you see me going around claiming Bastille Day is my holiday because I went to France once? If you want to celebrate the Emancipation Proclamation, do it on a day that makes sense, like the day it was signed or something.

21 Puddleglum, watched the last hour at a sports bar a few miles from Torrey Pines (had a Torrey Pines IPA in homage to the ongoing event). Was hoping it would come down to the 18th, but then Oosthuisen blew his tee shot on 17.

Bartender said tickets were not that expensive, and that they'd limited the number (probably stupid C19 rationale), so that is was a much fan-friendlier open than probably has happened in decades. I have lamentably not developed/maintained contacts with locals of the sort who have free or discounted Open tickets, so, didn't go.

I think the funny thing about all this is that "straight" people that I have know that worked for Les Wexner's "Limited Brands" various facilities in and around Columbus, say that it is actually a difficult work environment for hetero women, since so many lesbians work there. And this was first told to me about 30 years ago.

I doubt it has gotten better.

59 USS Momsen, that's the destroyer we saw coming into port this afternoon.

Just next to North Island, along the north side parallel to the main channel, there are concrete platforms every 300 yards or so. Some have been connected to land, and are used as fishing piers. You can see them easily from Harbor Island or Shelter Island, across the bay.

They were installed, quickly, after Pearl Harbor, as moorings, so that capital ships could be much closer to the harbor exit, in case of attack.

The USS Bunker Hill survivor of multiple kamikaze attacks at Okinawa, was tied up to a few of these moorings for years during my yute. She was used as a lab/test-bed for the Navy electronics lab.

What's really hilarious about the whole thing is that people are getting the impression June 19 marked the de facto end of slavery, which it didn't. Slavery was still legal in Kentucky and Delaware, and remained so until the 13th Amendment was ratified that December; up to that time, there were still actual slaves in both those states (and due to the details of "gradual emancipation," possibly in New Jersey as well). "Juneteenth" didn't do a thing for any of them.

But hey, let's not let the historical facts get in the way of some cheap virtue-signaling, amirite?

Aesthetics attract people. And when the Left and GloboHomoPedo take over, they do their best to make it unlivable for normies.

I live in a place that many people would not find aesthetically pleasing, like San Francisco (Bay) or Seattle (which I have visited a couple of times over 20 years ago, such a beautiful city it was).
But we think it is quite pretty here. And here we will stay.

171 Hi. Was that you, MisHum, who linked Sylvia's Mother sometime this past week? Or did some commenter?

Anyway, that, and tonight's hidden click song -- they're both songs I'd think, I've heard this so much, for so many years, I don't really want to play them again. Then I played them, and was glad I did.

Shel was amazing. I remember sneaking into my much-older brother's Playboy collection and first discovering Uncle Shelby's ABZs. B is for Baby. See the nice baby? Mommy loves the baby. More than she loves you! Perverse humor right up there with Virgil Parch, Charles Addams, Gahan Wilson, and Mad Magazine.

216 I gotta say, getting percocet for the first time made me realize some of what motivated junkies.

What a change to have no pain and no levels of negativity. To be content and generally pleased but not excessively elated or jumping around.

It was quite an experience. Fortunately it was not too far off from my normal state that I mostly experienced. Sure there were ups and downs but I knew that daily feeling like that was a danger and that I could easily get trapped. So when my injury was healed I stopped taking them.

Now that I'm older and at a point where time may be short I wish I could start those back up because NOW I don't have as many up/good days and I have many legitimate pains from my arthritis and it's difficult to get motivated when you know you will hurt during what you're doing and after so things tend to get put off.

BTW that is what I think happens to hoarders. They just don't care anymore and it's a lot of trouble and money to dispose of the trash.

Werke Nr 137 was Fw 200C-4/U1 and Wr Nr 138 was Fw 200C-4/U2. Biggest external difference is an abbreviated bombardier's gondola. Wr Nr 137 could seat 11 while Wr Nr 138 accommodated 14.

Last Condor flight was one of the original Lufthansa Condors hastily loaded with people and luggage fleeing Berlin on 21 April 1945. Plane took off from Munich destination Barcelona and vanished. Ten years after the war the wreckage was finally found, it had crashed after leaving Munich.

235 My Dad was there but not there in my life. Didn't like hanging around us kids.

My mother ruled the roost and sadly she was a grade A abuser.

And I mean all of it.She was an emotional abuser and a physical abuser. She would disguise it as punishment for some wrong doing but somehow a lot of stuff became instantly wrong when she was in the mood.

I don't know if Dad knew what she did cause she never punished us when he was home or around. (as far as I can remember).

And she would emotionally abuse us also. I never twigged to how much till I got older and she pulled some stuff once too often and I caught her in lies. Lies meant to make me feel bad or dumb.

So cherish your parents if they treated you well but never forget that that was special as there are too many parents that either ignore their children or abuse them or just don't care.

Cause you're paying it off in inflated dollars. And if it's saleable and the market is good you can sell it and pocket the cash while paying inflated dollars to the loaner.

It's tricky timing tho and only works for goods with a demand during inflation times. And inflation times means you sell it at inflation prices and the bottom my drop out of the economy.

247 Ok, I just watched the movie "Inception." It was a complex movie that explores a lot of intriguing notions. It was a good movie, and I'd like to watch it again. But I can't.

Because of the Edith Piaf.

253 168 To everyone who digs airplanes and/or World War II, a Focke Wulf FW 200C Condor still exists and looks pretty spiffy. Considering how the rear wing spar on the military FW 200s always seemed to fail, have no problems with them not flying this bird.

Thanks! Didn't know about this project. Don't read German unfortunately but poking around it looks like they might hold more than one airframe maybe...The 200 was built very light as it was made to be a long range airliner and designed in the late 30s when Germany had a real shortage of powerful engines. The maritime use was an improvisation and the airframe didn't hold up to the stress very well. But it worked ok in the early war days when there wasn't much enemy air opposition out at sea.

261 My Dad wasn't around about a third to half of some important years. Navy submariners aren't especially expected to be around home, not when their job is westpac at the peak of the cold war.

When he was around, he put a lot of his energy into my already getting twisted, older brother. Futility, but he tried. Brother ended up going hellbent into a life of crime, and Dad ended up moving from California to Florida when I was just going from ninth grade to tenth. I didn't start to get close to my Dad, until I was in my mid twenties, and it took really a full decade for him and I to develop a constructive relationship. Mom passed when I was nineteen, and she was fifty four.

And my criminal brother was just sentenced in May, to a new forty month term for his latest set of felonies, in Minnesota. I have family on the west coast, east coast, and the frozen, high northwest.

I'm quite all right having thousand mile buffers between them and me here, in Texas.

294 I can no longer find a good version, original, of the Radio Moscow announcement, by Yuri Levitan, the most famous radio voice of the USSR at the time, on June 22. There are some obviously re-recorded versions.

This is a partial recording, marred a bit at the end by the stupid animation audio.

https://tinyurl.com/kd53cpew

In the original, as far as I can tell, Levitan uses the term "great patriotic war", which became the Soviet term for WWII. But not sure about that. This part is cut off from the version I linked above.

That's from the horse's mouth of the NIH. Look at the table on page 12. This is about the dreaded "delta variant" (Indian, but can't say that because woke). Delta is gonna kill us all.

You can see they break down unvaccinated vs vaccinated. Look at the death rate. You will see the total delta fatality rate is 0.12%. Less than seasonal flu.

But look at the unvaccinated vs vaccinated fatality rates. Unvaxxed is 0.096%. Vaccinated is 0.64%, call it 6 times higher.

And I think I can explain why. We only have so much immune system. If we artificially set it off to fight something we do not even have, it is WEAKER against all other threats.

Its like sending your troops off to the peaceful border, when your other border is being invaded.

Thus, vaccinated IF it does not fight off that other variant, makes you WEAKER against that new variant...

Oh.... and also anything else your immune system fights.... like... oh... I don't know... CANCER?

331 This is good advice only if the interest rate is fixed and below the inflation rate.
Posted by: Chuck C at June 20, 2021 11:54 PM (aViol)


Fixed yes. But not necessary to be below inflation to make sense. The inflation is going to decrease the cost regardless.

But don't do it just to do it. That way lies ruin. If you accelerate a decision you were going to make anyway then okay.

342 >> What is the ADE effect?

Antibody Disease Enhancement. The forms vary but think of it as a glitch with the antibodies produced by the immune system. These "binding only" antibodies do not neutralize the pathogen, but in fact make it worse, increasing it's ability to infect the host.

Coronaviruses are known to be bad about this effect. Make antibodies against one, and then a slight variant comes along, and the antibodies make it worse.

There are other pathogens that have this effect. Dengue fever being one, IIRC.

349 I miss my Dad, he was the honorable person I've ever known (when not drinking). I was a child but I still remember the first time he was to argue a case before the Supreme Court, he was like a little boy on his way to Six Flags for the first time. So excited.

He wasn't even one of the main layers the first time, but it didn't matter. He was going to stand up and present an argument to these "titans" that he idolized, and one the Justices was going to shoot it down and make him look foolish... it didn't matter, this was his dream come true.

Anyways, we had to buy him his first nice suit. He worked 60-80 hours a week so that my brother and I could live in the Highland Park School District. He hadn't bought new clothes in a decade. You know those scenes where the dig out some guys formal wear and it's from 1875? It was like that. He sacrificed everything for us.

But I still haven't cried over his death 10 years ago. That's not healthy, something is wrong with my wiring.

Another one. This is a bombshell paper on Ivermectin. It works:

https://www.nature.com/articles
/s41429-021-00430-5

This goes through the method of action of Ivermectin against Covid-19.

Ivermectin has been suppressed by the medical-scientific-public health industrial complex. There's a lot of politics, Orange Mad Bad involved in this crime against humanity level suppression of effective treatment, but the role of greed by Pharma can't be minimized.

The clinical studies done on Ivermectin were launched by doctors themselves, not Pharma. Pharma wanted nothing to do with it. Why? These drugs are off-patent, and no big money is to be made.

That right there is the genesis of a lot of this shit.

Further on Ivermectin. A Cochrane-style review (this is considered the best analysis) of ivermectin against Covid-19:

https://tinyurl.com/3msyr4rj

Moderate-certainty evidence finds that large reductions in COVID-19 deaths are possible using ivermectin. Using ivermectin early in the clinical course may reduce numbers progressing to severe disease. The apparent safety and low cost suggest that ivermectin is likely to have a significant impact on the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic globally.

412 @ publius.

I found an MD and got the HCQ, Ivermectin, Zpak cocktail. I was already on all the vitamins, just in case.

After the positive diagnosis, 95% of any primary symptoms were gone in under 30 hrs. Fatigue though, lasted a full week. We're talking not enough strength to stand up and take a shower. Or sit in a chair and watch TV.

I think without the HCQ, Ivermectin, Zpak and vitamin cocktails, I would not be typing this, right now.

CDC has reverses advices repeatedly, all through 2020. Why would you trust any MD who quotes CDC "guideances" for treatment options?

413 We only had a few hot days last week. Things were actually cool, crisp, and overcast in the backyard. It's generally colder and wetter than the front because of the topography. My back room and backyard really don't feel urban at all (except for the neighbor's television/movies).

Thank God, Jim. Thank God for the MDs out there who are not part of the Borg.

I have read that that this entire second wave of Covid in the US could've been nipped in the bud as Barney Fife would say by the Ivermectin and other protocols. Early treatment with this greatly prevents progression to severe and death.

415 I have this to say regarding flag burning.
Burning our flag is in NO WAY an expression of free speech. It is wilful,and malicious desecration of our national symbol, and by extension a denial of our nation and it's precepts.
I will entertain no argument otherwise, despite the mewlings of the blackrobed shitsplats who insist it is.
You attempt to burn MY flag in my presence and that is a guarantee of some hospital time and I'm perfectly willing to accept the consequences.

416 Publius. Frankly? HCQ as a prophylactic would've been enough, with Ivermectin slammed onto newly infected patients at the first positive result.

HCQ worldwide, is proven to prevent the damn thing from getting traction in the first place, and Ivermectin keeps it from shifting out of First Gear, once engaged.

I suggest about 12 miles North of Newport - in Depot Bay. Tidal Raves - Wonderful

419 The best venue in San Diego that no longer is.

Boom Trenchards, at the prevailing winds approach end (downtown) of Lindbergh Field (san diego intl. airport).

Used to be able to sit at the bar, chow on bar food, sip beer, and listen to the tower/aircraft frequency on the club's sound system.

The PSA Flight 182 mid air with the Cessna pretty much put paid to those live airings, and with them, the club.

And I'm gonna defend that decision. When you start blocking ANY free speech, as a gubmint prerogative, you have joined the 'free speech is bad' crowd.

I've seen a lot of free speech, including the Nazi parade in Skokie (a Jewish dominated community), and I still support the Nazis' right to parade there. I lived in Chicagoland when that happened.

Their message is/was evil, but so is declaring Hunter Biden as a forbidden topic to the press. And the whole 10% for the Big Guy stuff.

Suppressing free speech, including burning our flag, is inherently wrong. And if you punch a flag burner in the mouth, well, that is simple assault. A misdemeanor. Oopsie. My bad.

Good points GB. If you run across a flag burner punch him the mouth for me.

433 the thing is is, as with many things, I do not burn the flag because it means something to me.

for those that burn the flag, it means nothing.

They are not burning because of what it means to me.

The thing is is, I have no interest in who they are, what they think or what they do.

my free speech is more important than their hate.

434 Just heard Bailey stealing the cat food dish off the kitchen table. And then she comes in here and smiles at me looking for anything I've dropped. You'd think the dog was starving in Somalia or somewhere.

She's an old goofball at 11, good shape for a large lab that age. Just had her checkup and they claim she's not as blind as we thought. Just can't catch stuff like she used to, maybe the arthritis. We're doing the baby aspirin thing to see if it helps.

I'm thinking you don't watch enough of the MM to know what is acceptable. Of course the rules change all the time, beware. Someone, somewhere may expose you for the NPC freak you are.

True, I don't think I've ever seen a Leftist burn the American flag in remorse. They always have a smug look.

452 "Suppressing free speech, including burning our flag, is inherently wrong"

I used to agree with that: freedom of expression must include the right of the people to burn the symbols of their nation as a form of protest.

I changed my mind once I saw them - these are not Americans, they certainly don't love America. These are Marxists, they want to destroy America, not protest some policy. And they have denied my freedom of speech for at least the last decade.

Light em up.

454 "Is there hope around the corner for drug addiction that does not respond to normal treatment?"

Not a 'feel good' story at all. Treating addiction as a disease is one of the reasons we see increased addiction. The National Institute of Health (if memory serves) came up with the nonsense of "chronically relapsing brain disease" to justify increased funding.
