The Quotes of The Day

Quote I
‘Children versus adults does not change the safety threshold when it comes to overloading.’ Attorney Jeffrey Goodman

Quote II
“We’ve definitely seen a spike in inquiries. We’ll see if it translates to procedures, but more people are asking about it.” Dr. Shrikesh Majithia of DrSnip in the Seattle and Portland

Good, we don't need them reproducing another generation of Karens.

Quote III
"That’s why I have to express my disappointment at the cheap shot you took at Joe Biden via Twitter. It was unprofessional and beneath the office that you once held. It was also disrespectful to me and the many friends you had in our administration. You were the personal physician to the President of the United States as well as an admiral in the U.S. Navy. I expect better, and I hope upon reflection that you will expect more of yourself in the future." Former President JEF, TFG

Funny thing Hussein, I don't recall your rebuke of Harry Reid or Joe Biden calling people tax cheats and slavery enablers.

Quote IV
“We are committed to an all-electric, zero-emissions future, and ensuring that the right charging infrastructure is in place is a key piece of the puzzle,”
“With travel centers across North America, Pilot Company is an ideal collaborator to reach a broad audience of EV drivers.” said Mary Barra, GM chair and CEO.

No remorse about all the bond holders you screwed?

The only answer is to have control over the thermostats to stagger startup times. Same goes for EV chargers. Good thing the power company can do that right at the meter.

22 So, with the boat story, they were over by one person? One was a 7 year old kid, who sadly died. It doesn't sound like the boat was really over capacity. According to regs yes, but not in reality. Unless, everyone was fat and that went over the weight limit.

23 Saint of the Day
St. Bonaventure (1221--1274) was born with the name Giovanni in Tuscany, Italy. As a child he became very ill and was near death until his mother brought him to St. Francis of Assisi, who was then living in the region. It is said that St. Francis healed the child and afterward exclaimed, "O buona ventura (O good fortune)!" when he prophetically perceived how great the child would one day become, and this is how he began to be called Bonaventure. He joined the Franciscan order at the age of 22 and went on to study theology at the University of Paris, where he became friends with the Dominican friar St. Thomas Aquinas. The two friends graduated together, each insisting that the other be the first to receive honors. St. Bonaventure is regarded as one of the great philosophers and theologians of the Middle Ages, earning the name "Seraphic Doctor." In addition to his many writings, including a Life of St. Francis of Assisi, and was appointed a cardinal-bishop by the Holy Father. St. Bonaventure died while assisting at the Second Council of Lyons. His feast day is celebrated on July 15th.

24 The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is promoting to youth an online chat space that discusses sex, polyamorous relationships, the occult, sex change operations, and activism, and is specifically designed to be quickly hidden while being used. It also mixes LGBT adults and children and is run in part by Planned Parenthood.

Posted by: fd at July 15, 2022 07:24 AM (sn5EN)

actually, there are electric diggers. it's a thing in mining now. and they do pretty well from what I understand.

and everyone seems to be on the electric truck movement now. seems like one of the ways people are looking is a battery and trolley combo, but zero emissions mining is a big thing in the near future.

the trick is to see how it works compared to the current diesel production trucks.

naturally, we're NOT looking at where the electricity comes from...

different kind of electric. but the biggest mining trucks, think 200 tons and up, are exactly the same as the diesel trains. big diesel motor runs electric motors to the wheels.

46 Truths

There will be an election in November. The Republicans will win control of the House and Senate

There will be fraud, it won't change the overall outcome

The Republicans will purposely lose winnable seats to keep America First candidates out of Congress. America First candidates will replace GOPe House and Senate members anyway

Trump will run in 2024 and will get the Republican nomination. Trump will beat any Democrat candidate

The Democrats' best candidate in 2024 is Joe Biden

69 vasectomies do have side effects, some serious

no one ever talks about this, because the public health establishment REALLY wants men to get vasectomies

first of all - reversal is a crap shoot

second of all - a not-insignificant percentage of guys have permanent sexual function damage (it can be mild, but still! it's a danger that is literally NEVER mentioned)

honestly tho we don't need the guys who would have vasectomies at 20 breeding anyway. they are simps.

Trump will run in 2024 and will get the Republican nomination. Trump will beat any Democrat candidate

I'll agree with you that the GOP will throw elections because they're gutless cowards who don't want to win. Any America First candidates who win will be sidelined, ostracized and made irrelevant by the McCarthys and McConnells of the GOP and their election will change nothing.

Trump may run. He may get the nomination. He will not win. Whether through (God forbid) assassination or stolen election aided and abetted by the GOP, he will not win.

74 HIPAA only importance or utility it would seem, is keeping psychotic drug-addled mental cases from being red flagged to local, state, or federal employees, so they can go on shooting rampages, despite the public informing every alphabet agency known on the real and present danger these nutbars pose.

It's all just a tragic bureacratic oversight I'm sure. Mistakes were made. Mistakes will be made. Mistakes forever!!

76 As much as I think Trump got a raw deal in many aspects and it's criminal what was done to him regarding Russiagate, it would be probably be best if he's some how forbidden from running for office again. Hell, it may be best if he is charged with a crime revolving around 1/6. The man has learned nothing and has become a thorn in the side of the Right. Doing more damage than anything else at this point. He needs to go away and I'm at the point I don't care how.

110 The J6 committee has already said, publicly, their intent is to disqualify Trump from holding office again. They've also said they intend to disqualify several of his supporters and candidates he endorsed that they feel participated in the InSuRreCtiOn.

If disqualified (whatever that ends up to mean) I strongly believe the GOP will abide by the J6 findings and not put Trump's name on the ballot. If Trump isn't on the Republican ballot then how exactly is he going to win the election in '24?

There are a lot of unknowns about 3rd party and/or write-in avenues for Trump, if he's going to run regardless what the J6 committee declares.

Lastly, assuming Trump's disqualified and still runs, and potentially wins does anyone honestly think the current administration is going to accept those results?

In order to produce all of the EVs they plan on building, the lithium will have to come from some as yet unnamed planet, as there isn't enough lithium on earth.

Our track record has also never had to overcome half a population that is seriously intent on erasing the Constitution, handing everything over to central planners, abolishing all dissent, and going all in on a glorious Peoples' Soviet America. It's the American people who are quite possibly damaged beyond repair, and everything flows from that. I said yesterday that you can't live side by side in harmony with Bolsheviks. It's just not going to happen. Our seams are breaking. Normal track records can't be relied upon. Maybe our coming economic calamity will wake some of them up and we can't hope to recover.

127 I didn't figure RvW being overturned would have much real world impact. Leftist states aren't going to outlaw abortion. And anti-abortion activism was a cheap virtue signal for GOP politicians, that just suddenly got very expensive. I'm sure they're all freaking out right now, having panicked strategy sessions with their friends across the aisle about how they're going to weasel out of forty years of #MuhPrinciplezzz, four months from today.

But there was an angle I didn't consider. What if, in their yawning ignorance of the American political system and how it actually works, the legions of braindead, publicly educated NPCs don't understand the above dynamic at all? What if, in a virtue-signaling spasm of mass-hysteria, these drulls start sterilizing themselves?

Could it be that millions of my hated enemies would extirpate their own family trees, from poisoned root, to bitter fruit? Dare I hope? Please, lord, let it be so.

Dominion machines and all the other stuff is fun to talk about, but people / boards / judges changing laws with clear legislative requirements are where the fraud was in 2020.

Two years is a long time in politics and it may well change before 2024, but right now, it is amazing that FJB is still their strong horse. It is outside the realm of reason and if it's true (as it appears to be), then it is a condemnation of the Dems and their bench.

209 If Biden is still the Dem strong horse - which he appears to be, somehow - then he will be in seat on 2024 and there will be no early movement. They need to whittle away at Joe while building up someone else. The building up will probably start after the midterms, and the volume of noise about Senile Joe and Corrupt Joe will increase. I suspect they want to primary him, but they need *someone* to do that. Making him resign or killing him off would muddy the waters too much and make them pivot a grand strategy off of its current course, and also burn up at least one person off their bench when they have to replace the VP.

If they want Biden gone - just an assumption on my part, but I can't fathom why they wouldn't - they need to build up a new Party savior while denigrating the current guy, then primary Biden out of 2024 and try their new strong horse. Until the polling (their internal polling - the real numbers, not the BS they publish to move opinion) turns over and stays turned over, they're not going to make a move.

Yep. Sadly once the Gays and Democrats (and Disney, Nickelodeon, etc) decided to go after kids, it forced parents to tell their children things like "If you see anyone with a rainbow shirt, sticker, flag, or any other design, stay away from them."

We tried to be left alone. They wouldn't do it. They brought America to this point.

Yup. Didn't you know? Women are chattels. Coverture is back, they own no property so long as a man is present, they have no autonomy, no agency, don't work, are hidden from the culture and are all chained to the stove, barefoot. If they aren't pregnant for at least 9 out of every 24 months, they are sold off for hard labor on plantations or factory work because they have no value from that point forward. All feminist themes have been purged from the popular culture and everything from grocery shopping to the DMV to church services are now sex-segregated. Women are now seen and not heard, reduced to a pseudo-slave status. This has all happened over the past six weeks. Where have you been?

The Clintons did a lot, but they also built a very strong network of their own people. Those people - I call them the "gangster faction" - lost. They're still there, but they no longer control the Party. They're also largely too old now. Andrew Cuomo was their strongest member, and the Party kneecapped him - in my opinion, they did this because he had his sights set higher and the Party is not going to let a gangster run for president again.

The greater damage that they're dealing with today was, I think, due to Obama. It was with him that they radicalized the Party and caused the fracture. The current hard-left Maoist platform is really hard to manage anyway, let along when combined with a bunch of unlikable madman stooges on their bench. Obama did that, not the Clintons. The Clintons at least built their own network and had a fairly deep bench of affable mobsters. They bet it all on a Hillary administration and she failed twice.

China is in serious trouble in a lot of dimensions. Xi's "dynamic zero" COVID policy is a disaster and is fucking up the entire industrial chain because of frequent (and lengthy) shutdowns in major economic centers. Xi's gamble on isolating Australia through trade sanctions failed and caused severe shortages of high-grade coal, which has caused power shortages that idle factories. Their seasonal flooding has been quite bad this year. The real estate market - the magic unicorn underpinning a huge amount of the Chinese economy *and* government finance - is cracking (that was on purpose, since they wanted a controlled declined rather than a disorderly collapse, and time will tell if they can arrest the serious crash). Their industrial economy is having trouble hiring due to rising wages, and labor costs mean China is not the low-cost manufacturer anymore and companies are starting to leave for cost reasons as well as at the behest of foreign countries.

Xi has his work cut out for him.

312 Another minor point, but I put up a post I think 14 months ago where I tried to do some analysis using cycle voting trends to get a feel for how many of Biden's 81 million votes were fraudulent.

Some of you might remember.

Here is the conclusion I drew with one of the models...

The 7.5% adjustment model – In the 3rd model I reduce Biden's growth advantage by 7.5% across the board, regardless. With this model Biden’s vote total is 76,327,660 and Trump wins Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin.

Anyway, yesterday I finally saw results from analysis done using actual polling of voters where they were asked who they voted for in 2020. This is very accurate way to determine what the real vote was in 2020.

Conclusion from polling is that Biden got 6 million fraudulent votes.

My model looks to have been pretty close.

Maybe. Maybe not. I was a young supporter and volunteer for Kennedy in his challenge to Carter. It was a strange, schizoid effort -- at times he was witheringly effective in his attacks on Carter's failures and betrayals, evoking the essence of RFK, and at other times out to lunch. The party leaders were very pragmatic then, not so ideological, and unseating the incumbent was not going to happen. Also, the democrats thought Reagan was a joke, would implode, and Carter would breeze to victory. That is, they didn't need a fired-up liberal Kennedy-base to win.

353 Moscow Mitch contrived a way to have trumPutin appoint 3 to upend law, logic, and precedent. Lawyers and legislatures are now unsure what laws are debatable or what is triable. There will be gridlock. If there were 15 Justices, trumPutin would have contaminated only 20% of the court. Even the subversive 6 would only account for 40%.

The reason it has not happened yet is due to the fight between the older democrat wing and the socialist wing as to who actually takes charge.

Dave's analysis points out something that we know, but is often ignored, and which has a huge bearing on what happens in the next election. Dems were able to steal the election because they controlled the counting in 6 key cities, which swung 6 key states. They didn't need to do it nationwide, just in these key places. Can it happen again?
Milwaukee - appears to have been cleaned up, unmonitored drop boxes not allowed.
Las Vegas - the Dem machine in the state is falling apart in the face of economic collapse, and they are losing control.
Philadelphia - hmm, looks like nothing has changed there.
Arizona - it looks like voting procedures have been cleaned up.
Detroit - well, Whitmer is still in control.
Atlanta - this is the big question. I'm hopeful, but we will see.

It isn't failure theater to motivate votes, it is to motivate MONEY.

All of these leftist think tanks and NGOs need money to keep their leftist drones living the high life in Georgetown. They need to motivate the doaners to think that with just a few more $50K donations, they will be able to squeak out a win against the evil Rethuglicans. So their captured polling operations are there specifically to generate results that support their fundraising efforts.

I've been getting these polling based pitches from the Warnock campaign.

411 Tom - There was a change in PA though. The unsolicited ballot process used in 2020 was tossed out in that special election in 2021. So PA is back to their old method, you have to request a ballot.

Remember that even with the late night fraud in Philly, Trump was ahead by close to a million on election night. His lead disappeared when they started with the fraudulent mail in votes.

That is where the key issue is going to be for election integrity. Can fraudulent mail in votes be used to turn an election. Of all the states you mentioned, Georgia is the one that concerns me most.

Posted by: Dave in Fla at July 15, 2022 09:06 AM (5p7BC)

412 110 The J6 committee has already said, publicly, their intent is to disqualify Trump from holding office again. They've also said they intend to disqualify several of his supporters and candidates he endorsed that they feel participated in the InSuRreCtiOn.

If disqualified (whatever that ends up to mean) I strongly believe the GOP will abide by the J6 findings and not put Trump's name on the ballot. If Trump isn't on the Republican ballot then how exactly is he going to win the election in '24?

Posted by: Martini Farmer at July 15, 2022 08:01 AM (BFigT)

To disqualify persons due to J6 the Dems intend to use the 14th Amendment, Section 3, that says persons can be disqualified for future Federal office if they took an oath to protect the Constitution then while under that oath (as POTUS, Congressman, etc.) engaged in insurrection or rebellion. Then it says that this ban may be removed for an individual by a two-thirds vote in each house of Congress.

It was put in to ban former Confederates from holding office post-Civil War. There is no definition of insurrection or rebellion, nor a definition of how a person is to be charged and convicted of such.

423 And regarding another post about "what defense" - I was saying it at the time. He had to win in the court of public opinion. One does not win the news cycle by going golfing on a Friday after Election Day, while the Dems are forging ballots in real time. How long did he wait before saying anything ? Two weeks ? And delegating everything to Rudy was not a winning play.

Well talking about it with hindsight, any option other than one that we went with (relying on lawyers and the courts) seems more hopeful. It's possible that a stronger appeal for public outcry would've worked but I'm skeptical. What is the public going to do but complain?

My view is that we needed guys making arrests, interfering with the Dem vote manufacturing machines directly in real time. An election fraud task force made of loyalists. Incidentally a department of loyalists using force is also how to operate coups or consolidate power.

Personally I can't say I saw the magnitude of fraud coming. I assumed they wouldn't be so brazen or rushed.

there are at least eyes on things here, maybe

the lefties are screaming about some of the changes, so that tells me that the few things that WERE done might have some impact?

I didn't know he's backing down on sanctions, but it doesn't surprise me if it's true. They need that Aussie coal to run their eastern (that is, industrial) power infrastructure. And the banking trouble is probably related to the real estate problems and looming recession, and yeah - it's getting hard to suppress. When you limit people to a couple of hundred bucks a day in cash, arbitrarily limit electronic transactions, and only service a few hundred customers per day, they start to notice and it can get out of hand quickly.

China's banking is pretty rotten and if this isn't just a typical Chinese overreaction and the banking sector is actually failed, they're in very serious trouble.

Think about the problem as the politicians would frame it and then hand it off to the engineers to solve it.

Integrate the charging infrastructure and subject it to central control with extensive automation. Have the power utility automatically step down charging throughput - or idle charging altogether - during periods of power contention. There are no "peak" or "off-peak" hours anymore because vehicle charging is responsive to other demand and automatically steps down or idles as directed by the central system that is integrated with the power utility.

This continues until the system can be expanded to other high-load sectors like manufacturing, with household-level automatic controls coming in the final phase, starting with integration of temperature controls to allow the roll-off of high-demand items.

450 Tesla also said they wanted to demonstrate how their power walls could help ease power grid demands to Texas.

But Texas doesn't pay you for the power you generate for the grid, so Elon was only able to get 68 individuals to agree to demonstrate how wonderful it would be.

Something tells me Tesla is more interested in trying to develop a "with the power you sell back, the power wall pays for itself!" time-share sales pitch more than an earnest effort to save the Texas power grid.

481 Ellipses - It's both. A majority believe there was cheating in 2020, and a pretty strong plurality (in the high 40s) believe the cheating changed the outcome of the election.

482 Oration is key because oration is how we define the zeitgeist. The zeitgeist shows what we're orating, and the significance of the zeitgeist is reflected in our oration. When we orate, we move the zeitgeist and when we move the zeitgeist, we change our oration!

Actually, Trump as secretary of State would be a better fit, and he might go for it. The man made some real progress overseas, can make deals and think outside the box, and isn't afraid to call out the bullshit many of our "friends" and enemies spew.

Not:”on the advice of my attorney I invoke my 5th amendment right against self-incrimination”,

Instead: “on the advice of my attorney I invoke my 4th, 5th, 6th —and any other amendment you choose — right against stalinesque show trial by self-appointed, self-aggrandizing retards”

I never miss a TV, though. As long as it plays something at low-volume for me to pass out before the end of, I'm good.

Honestly, it's one place where the total lack of quality in all entertainment products is a big benefit. Since it's literally never good, so I can just doze off, every time, without feeling compelled to stay awake. "Dross is Boss" when it comes to soporific viewing.

506 I don't think we've heard the last of the J6 committee. There's a shit ton of bad blood between rank and file politicians and Trump. Enough that some will continue to hound him, abusing their office in doing so, but nonetheless want him in prison at any cost.

Lastly, the J6 committee is a political circus, not legal. The disqualification, if it came to that is a political move. Would it end up in the courts anyway? Who knows. It's a roadblock for Trump. Yet something else he has to contend with should he want to run. I'd bet good money the issue, should it come to a head won't be decided in his favor. Which is really the whole point of J6.

I'm guessing that you either had gas heat and limited or no A/C usage, or both electric heat and A/C usage but consistent throughout the year.

Where I am, the summers are brutal and the electricity cost nearly doubles for the summer months because not running A/C is *not* an option here. My range is about $110-$130 during winter and $225-$300 during summer. My 12-month average for the 12 months ending in June of 2022 is $185. I am in a low-mid cost region, with a regional average cost of 12.87 cents and state average about cent less.
