The Morning Rant

TYRANNY CREEPS IN ON LITTLE CAT FEET
Here's a guy who just doesn't get it:

And I'm not talking about Kinzinger, whose buffoonery is already a national embarrassment. The level of historical ignorance of this twitter rando is astounding. He apparently has no idea how tyrannies are imposed. Totalitarianism doesn't come in all at once. Darth Vader doesn't suddenly show up one day and take over. Rather, it is imposed incrementally, step by step, inch by inch, and they will keep pushing and pushing as much as they can, especially if they meet no resistance.

Because each step, when viewed in isolation from all of the others, doesn't seem so bad. A certain population needs to be deloused? Why not? Delousing is a good thing, right? Who wants to live with dirty people? And anyone who suggests the government is not going to stop there is immediately condemned as a nutjob and a conspiracy theorist who is against public health.

And in a subsequent tweet, he said "Russia is tyranny. Venezuela is Tyranny...However, SIMPLY withholding federal funds to encourage behavior for the purpose of ending a deadly pandemic is most assuredly NOT tyranny."

...SIMPLY withholding federal funds to encourage behavior for the purpose of ending a deadly pandemic is most assuredly NOT tyranny.

...SIMPLY mandating vaccinations without exceptions to encourage behavior for the purpose of ending a deadly pandemic is most assuredly NOT tyranny.

...SIMPLY publically shaming the unvaccinated to encourage behavior for the purpose of ending a deadly pandemic is most assuredly NOT tyranny.

...SIMPLY mandating a system of vax passports to encourage behavior for the purpose of ending a deadly pandemic is most assuredly NOT tyranny.

...SIMPLY setting up a system of interstate check-points to encourage behavior for the purpose of ending a deadly pandemic is most assuredly NOT tyranny.

...SIMPLY setting up a new, federally-funded vaccine police force to encourage behavior for the purpose of ending a deadly pandemic is most assuredly NOT tyranny.

...SIMPLY moving the unvaccinated to "hospitality camps" to encourage behavior for the purpose of ending a deadly pandemic is most assuredly NOT tyranny.

Public health is the public excuse for every kind of injustice and deprivation of liberty. Because the unvaccinated aren't a threat to society, They are, however, a threat to authority.

AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List

Prayer Requests:
10/22 - Pookysgirl asks for prayers for Pooky, as he is going in for extensive neuropsychological testing for 4-8 hours on Oct 27, so he could really use prayers today. He’s had issues with similar testing in the past, so prayers for calming and peace would be appreciated.
11/29 update – The results were not what they were hoping for. Pooky did not get any specific diagnoses but got put into 4 different “unspecified” categories. He sees his therapist and his med manager within the next month, and hopefully they can help them understand the diagnoses and any medication changes. This news has been very difficult to handle.
12/14 Update – Yesterday morning, Pooky’s mental health team had a conference call and decided that Pooky needed to be evaluated immediately. Pookysgirl took Pooky to the local VA (1.5 hours away) and he was admitted to the psych ward. He will probably be out by Christmas. Please pray that they get all the logistics figured out and this his meds can be properly adjusted.
12/20 Update – Pooky came home Friday (12/17). His med adjustments seem to be working well.
11/4 – Tonypete asks for prayers for his dear friend Beth’s daughter Dominique who is 36 years old and has been diagnosed with Stage IV colon cancer. It has already spread to her liver and appears to be very aggressive. Please pray for a remission and for her doctors’ skill. Failing that, prayers for a Holy Death.
12/17 Update – Dominique passed away today. May her memory be eternal.
12/20 – Bluebell requested prayers for Tami’s family (husband, daughter, son and his wife and their baby boy) at the death of Tami (from natural causes).
12/25 Toad-O asks for prayers for his wife and her extended family. A recent CT scan revealed a large growth on his wife’s liver, about the size of an orange, along with several smaller lesions. There is also a growth on her spine. A biopsy has been scheduled on 1/3 to determine if either of these growths is malignant. He prays they are not. She just lost her older brother to cancer in October.

For Healing:
11/3 – MammaBonita is asking for prayers for her father who is 84 and having kidney failure.
12/8 Update – It looks like her father will be starting on dialysis soon, hopefully the kind that he and his wife can manage at home.
11/9 – Weak Geek asks for prayers for his father, who is recovering from surgery. He is out of intensive care but drops into bouts of defeatism. Also prayers for WG’s sister, who is on site and therefore shoulders the brunt of this burden.
12/14 Update – Weak Geek asks for continued prayers for his father, who is still recovering from intestinal surgery. He’s in a nursing home now. Your prayers are working; he beat back pneumonia. This will be his first Christmas without his wife. Prayers for comfort will also be appreciated.
11/24 – commissar of Plenty and Lysenko gender fluid requests prayers for healing and no surgery required (20% odds) for a medical problem he is experiencing.
12/25 Update – There has been some improvement, though slow. And he thanks the Horde for their thoughts and prayers!
11/28 - Ladyl asks for complete healing for Hattie, a 3 year old who is undergoing multiple complex surgeries for a congenital skin condition. Brad, a middle-aged man diagnosed with colon cancer who may end up with a colostomy bag needs prayers as well, that his physicians find the best possible solution and cure his condition. And DR, a 65 year old man who also requested prayers for an undisclosed situation.
11/28 – JerseyDevilRider requests prayer for his son’s best friend, Ben (age 24), who has been hospitalized and diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. They think the Crohn’s disease treatment he received caused the problem. It causes this issue in 1% of those who use that treatment. He has been started on chemo.
12/15 Update – Ben came home last week. He is still very weak and thin, but doing better. He is still on chemo but at least his month long hospital stay is over. Please continue to keep him in your prayers.
12/8 – Mammabonita asks for prayers. She just had a lesion removed from her ear that might be melanoma and she has to go back for further surgery.
12/8 – CC requests prayers for his friend, Dave (the best friend a man could ever have) and Dave’s wife Michelle. Pray for remission. Pray for strength. Pray for Michelle’s heart so she can bear this burden as his caretaker.
12/16 – Probably Not Tacitus requests prayers for his dad who tested positive for Covid. The family is quarantining, as well as the young college student who rents a room from them. They have obtained prescriptions for HCQ and Ivermectin, and they may be able to get monoclonal antibodies too. But they would appreciate your prayers for healing.

Romans 8:26-27
[26] In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. [27] And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

38 The answer here is far simpler. Most leftists believe that if the government forces people to do things they do not want that is oppression, but if the government forces people to do things they DO want that is perfectly ok.

I've been saying this for a while, but the only way crap like this stops is if Republican governors start coming up with "anti-COVID" policies that specifically hit leftists and their masters.

For example - round up illegals and put them in internment camps because...COVID. Or, require people require people to list any contact they have with a non-citizen to...stop the spread. And so on.

The point isn't to do anything about COVID - just like leftwing policies - but to make people on the left do something they don't want to.

This is ambiguously worded, but I think you're going for "If the government forces things of which the Left approves, then it is not oppressive and is merely a manifestation of the greater good. If the government forces things of which the Left does not approve, then it is oppression."

In which case, I agree with the assessment.

51 Ironically, the people driving around wearing a mask in their cars are actually following proper mask protocol, if one believes that wearing a mask does any good. - https://bit.ly/3DJo8yM

Consider that after you put the mask on, you're not supposed to touch it. So everyone who just tosses a mask in the car or puts one in their pocket and then grabs it and puts it on before going into wherever they need to go that is requiring mask-wearing... they're doing it wrong.

Those who put the mask on at home, then go around running their errands, not touching it at any time other than on the string portion holding it on their head, and then take it off once they get home, dispose of it properly, etc... that's the official correct way to wear a mask.

But pretty much 99.99% of people don't do that. Half of those people because they're stupid and don't know proper protocols and the other half because they know mask-wearing is stupid and useless and anti-science, so they don't care.

Yes indeed. I have made this same point many times. If you're using good practices and following protocol properly, you'll be masked in the car while alone. That said, I strongly suspect that virtually *everyone* masked in the car while alone is definitely not following proper protocol and are instead dumb and insane.

But the boosters..... After it became evident that the shots grant little to no protection and no lasting immunity at all, and that people were experiencing significant side effects, and that they are being used in a Nazi Germany/Mark of the Beast scenario.....

I don't understand getting the boosters for any reason other than being allowed to have normal American rights and privileges.

97 "We voted to raise property taxes on owners, not renters. Why did our rent go up?"

Portland renters in a nutshell. It is almost impossible for a tax increase to get voted down in Portland or Portland's county, because renters smugly think that they won't pay it.

When challenged, some of them will trot out an "economic theory" that states since landlords already charge as much as they can anyway, increases in landlords' costs won't change how much they charge.

This theory would also predict that gas stations won't raise gas prices when the wholesale price of gasoline goes up, and that grocery stores won't raise food prices when the wholesale price of food goes up.

It's Elizabeth Warren economics: "Sellers only raise prices because of greed! Greed I tell you!"

"TYRANNY CREEPS IN ON LITTLE CAT FEET"

This sounds like ancient Slavic wisdom of some sort. I'm totally stealing it.

Speaking of which, so Spielberg's new woke "culturally appropriate" version of West Side Story. I'm going to admit I know basically squat about the movie except for all the untranslated Spanish language sequences. So the girl who plays Maria is an actress named Rachel Zegler. Zegler? Zegler isn't a Spanish name. I look it up. She's Polish. Her mother has, I think, Colombian ancestry which can mean little and less. But she's Polish on her father's side. So you're "culturally appropriate" West Side Story features a Slavic Maria. Go figure.

146 Gotta say, I understand why people would get the shots the first time. The information I used to decide not to get them is not readily available if someone doesn't know where to look.

But the boosters..... After it became evident that the shots grant little to no protection and no lasting immunity at all, and that people were experiencing significant side effects, and that they are being used in a Nazi Germany/Mark of the Beast scenario.....

Logically correct. I mean the best case scenario is that it is a mix of incompetence and greed motivating our officials. (The usual stuff). On the other hand, it may be that they have other reasons for performing a mass medical experiment on the Entire World at the same time. And coercing those who if allowed, would chose not to get vaxxed or boosted every three months. Illegal and unethical.

This thing is not the Spanish Flu, or small pox and we know that now. Yes people have died. Yes more people died last year than you would normally otherwise see. Same will happen this year. Although it may be increased this year because of the vax, rather than the C-19.

149 So the girl who plays Maria is an actress named Rachel Zegler. Zegler? Zegler isn't a Spanish name. I look it up. She's Polish. Her mother has, I think, Colombian ancestry which can mean little and less. But she's Polish on her father's side. So you're "culturally appropriate" West Side Story features a Slavic Maria. Go figure.
Posted by: Robert, dying a slow and snotty death at December 29, 2021 11:37 AM (1Yy3c)

This girl grew up in the town where I live and for someone who hasn't yet made her bones, acting-wise, she sure has a lot of woke shit to say.

They are touting her "Columbian" ancestry like that really means anything when it comes to ACTING.

But the Russian-American Natalie Wood was far more beautiful--and far more convincing --playing a Puerto Rican.

Get rid of that, and suddenly areas with lots of land holders come back into play as competitive against areas with lots of renters (which have higher populations since more people are crammed into a smaller area).

Exactly. Basically, be self reliant to the maximum extent possible. The US was intended to give the most liberty to the lowest level of government (the individual citizen), but that freedom means the citizen needs to handle as much day-to-day stuff as possible, so higher levels of government handle only the big picture stuff they're specifically tasked with (National Defense, diplomacy, etc). Once enough people fail individually, the higher echelons come in with the offer to fix everything at the cost of those individual freedoms...and then, all bets are off.

That's two different things. District boundaries aren't relevant for property tax measures, since properties are where they are. They're in a municipality and a county and (sometimes) in a special taxing district. Property tax issues are hyper-local in all virtually all cases, and other political boundaries don't play into it.

210 "My experience people who wear their masks alone or in a car believe COVID floats in the air like pollen."

I want to get very small doses of various viruses or bad bacteria, to keep my immune system healthy. My guess is that would work for Covid as well, small amount of inoculum gives my body time to build resistance.

Staying generally healthy also helps, and having a series of early treatments on hand to take at first sign of a noticeable infection would have saved a half million.

Posted by: Count de Monet at December 29, 2021 11:46 AM (4I/2K)

One of the various weapons history guys has done a few specials on nunchucks. His take is they are a horrible weapon for the same reason you mention, it is so easily to hit yourself with them.

People called him out on his first episode and so he took the time to train in them really well and then put out a second episode where he essentially said now that I know quite a bit more about them and have some skill in their use I can confidently state they are really really horrible weapons.

He's also put out one where writings through history have shown agreement with his conclusion. But there are still people that can't let it go. His belief is that they were mostly a recent origin and ornamental, displays of dexterity.

This needs to be a message of gun ownership advocates. Every other form of weaponry and martial art is a force multiplier. It only makes you better at applying physical force.

For the old, the infirm, the disabled, and for young women who haven't spent a thousand hours practicing judo throws, firearms are pretty much *the* effective form of self-defense, because they operate independently of the user's physical force. It works just as well in the hands of a little old lady as it does in the hands of a 300 pound roid-raging gang-banger. Possibly better, if she doesn't hold it sideways.

Most crimes are committed by the young and strong, relying on force multipliers is a plan to fail.

Correct, my suspicion has been and remains that the Vax in fact makes you more vulnerable to later infections.

If this is "natural" and not gene-engineered then you traded a potentially lethal (but vastly oversold) risk for an eventual lower lethality but debilitating over time one.

It'd be nice if the medical establishment had not burnt their credibility on saying George Floyd dying trumped pandemic protocols, I literally do not trust them anymore.

289 Dead under Trump, 400,000
Dead under Biden, >400,000
Therefore, how is the vaccine working?

800,000 dead from covid, supposedly. Many of the deaths I do not believe. Only two people I know who have died from covid, were on deaths door. Days or weeks or a couple months from death.

350 million people in america.
Therefore 800,000/350 million = 0.00228 people die of covid
x 100 for a percentage
= an american has a 0.22% chance of dying from covid = about 2/1000
Not sure why one would risk a vaccine when deaths under Trump = deaths under Biden

Could it be down to the idea that flooding your body with antigen makes you less able to fend off simultaneous infection? Is it weakening of the immune system? I don't know. No one knows! Because every aspect of the Walensky/ Klain/ Bloomberg society, from the corporate pharmacies to the CDC, keeps bleating that the vaccine is SAFE AND EFFECTIVE, despite being obviously wrong.

You can't go wrong with simply saying NO. The pressure only makes it more obvious to refuse. It's Stanford Prison Experiment writ large.

A group on 4Chan got tired of the constant spam solicitations, realized that these young women probably weren't reporting the income that they were getting from their sites, and started notifying the IRS.

Joking aside. The Lady has a lot to do with it. Case in point: Battlestar Gallactica reboot before I stopped watching. Tricia Helfer has been dolled up like a cheap trollop for the entire series. So much so that it was off putting to me. In one episode, Head Six decides to dress like Starbuck (less obvious make up, sweatpants.) In that moment, she became incandescently hot to me.

Why? I dunno. Sexual attraction is more than 'busty'+ 'Scantily clad'='Attractive'. There is a lot of underlying software running that figure into it. On both ends of the visual.

One we just found out about is a hepatic artery infusion pump, guess only some of the larger cancer centers provide them. .

Below is a very useful link for studies on early treatment what we know, strength of that knowledge etc. There are some things that work pretty well. Especially for prophylaxis early treatment. There is no reason for a lot of this stuff to not be offered for those prior to need for hospital care. No medical reason.

Baking is easy enough for a kitchen dunce like me to do.* Proper ingredients, avoid substitutions, exact measurements and then follow the recipe as described. There's a website called Sally's Baking Addiction and she breaks it all down really well with detailed steps. Try it someday, I think you'll be surprised.

394 Day 7 of Covid for me

The first few days were rough, but no worse than any normal flu or seasonal cold. The worst was losing smell and taste in time for Christmas dinner.

My wife gave me a hard time, that I was exaggerating and being a big baby, despite the fact that I still did my job during the first few days. Then she got it. I won't say that vengeance is sweet, but sometimes it does taste like candy canes.

Now on day 7, I feel ok. Still have an occasional cough and stuffy nose, but taste and smell came back last night.
