The Morning Rant

talking ape.jpg


Here's one of the differences between left and right: Left-wing politicians get threatening e-mails from right-wing randos but conservatives get threatening texts from REPORTERS. Rep. Matt Gaetz explains how it works:

“[T]ime and time again, what a reporter will do is contact someone that maybe I’ve had a relationship with, maybe I haven’t had any relationship with, maybe I’ve only been in the same room with one time,” Gaetz told the John Solomon Reports podcast. “But they’ll say to a person, ‘You know, look, we are going to write your name into a story that will have sex trafficking and Matt Gaetz in the headline, unless you provide us some bad information, some embarrassing conduct about Gaetz. And if you do that, well then your name will be protected, your reputation will be protected.'”

The MSM have been trying to find a crime to pin on Gaetz for some time now, but haven't succeeded. But they're not giving up. The quoted article discussed the efforts of a particularly loathsome reporter from Mother Jones Magazine, which basically amounted to extortion:

One stunning example is that of Mother Jones reporter Matthew Phelan...who contacted a young woman from Gaetz’s district, who after their conversation sent Phelan an email reiterating how she had “never been harassed by Matt Gaetz… Any interaction with him or his office has always been respectful and kind. You stated someone told you I received some kind of death threat and that’s just a false accusation.”...He snapped back: “To be frank, I don’t want to tip my hand too much here, but I think you’re going to want to revise this response, or maybe just spend some time jogging your memory a little bit more. But, there’s time to get that in order. I look forward to circling back with you closer to publication time.”

I've heard of reporters doing questionable things to get stories, but this is slimy beyond belief. They've gone beyond shading the truth, or misquoting, or leaving out things that should be included, and now they're just making stuff up out of thin air.

If I were the woman Phelan was trying to bully, I would seriously be getting legal advice about suing him for these threats. Surely there must be some legal recourse. I mean, this is basically extortion, right?

Because it sure sounds like extortion to me:

Extortion is a criminal offense that occurs when a person unlawfully obtains money, property, or services from another person or entity by means of particular types of threats. It is not all threats-for example, threatening to file suit unless someone pays you money owed is not extortion. Usually, it is threat of violence or reporting a matter to a public agency or the media that can create allegations of extortion.

So why would Phelan's attempts to coerce false testimony not be actionable? And what does the magazine he writes for thinks of this?

Mother Jones’ Editor Tommy Craggs confirmed he had rebuked Phelan over the unethical behavior: “Matthew and I have spoken about the email you’re alluding to, and I’ve urged him to use more discretion. He said he would do so.”

Oh, they "rebuked" him. Why didn't they immediately fire his ass? What media outlet would want such sleazy, unethical scum like Phelan on their payroll?

Of course, if he got fired from Mother Jones, Phelan would undoubtedly have a bright future at CNN:

O'Keefe has since been booted off Twitter, so I can only guess what story he's linking to here, but based on the date, I think it's this one. No mention of Gaetz, though.

Thread Winner From Monday:

355 My favorite liberal/conservative conversation came shortly after we moved, so lots of new people. I was with a group of women I had walked dogs with, skied with, and one I had never met. She said, "I assume we all have the same politics." One of my dog-walking friends said, "No, Wenda's a conservative, but not a dumb one." The woman I didn't know said, "Well, if you're not dumb, why are you conservative?"
I'm not quite sure why my reply popped into my head but it did. I said, "Liberals usually share Rosseau's view of man. I'm more in favor of Blake's.
Silence.
We continued to walk dogs together and ski together, but politics has never come up again.

Monday Who Dis: Jennifer Lopez is perhaps best known for Gigli, reputedly one of the worst movies ever made. But she soon recovered from that monumental stinker and went on to better things, for example, the marginally better 2015 thriller The Boy Next Door with model turned actor Ryan Guzman.

118 CNN has some new video of the capital insurrection. It is about one minute of one of the trespassers (an ex-marine) fighting with cop who end up seizing his weapon, which was, get this , a very dangerous flag pole.


Video is is shaky which makes it seem like it was taken on a battlefield but the reality is it looked about as dangerous as a high school teenager shoving match (with flag pole included). But is was a serious threat to our democracy! Horrifying, as CNN describes it. This is what people are facing 10+ years in prison for.

They are also very upset about internet discussion about FBI informants being involved, it is crazy, paranoid and 100% false. Which tells me there is probably something to it.

Twatter is lit this morning because 4chan has video and outed some FBI plant named Epp. GWP is running a story now as well. Saw one video from 1/5 where he's yelling in a crowd "we must enter the capitol building!" to which many in the crowd yelled "nooo!" and then started chanting "fed! fed! fed!". Epp fired back "peacefully". Also video/pics of him at barricades with none other than Sullivan. In a crowd that size, what are the chances? Of course, he was prompting the crowd and a bunch of guys in antifa like getups to push down police barricades.

I think the entire narrative is about to start crumbling once you get all these people putting their heads together. It's going to be an interesting summer.

189 It was mentioned somewhere around here that the Victoria's secret thing was likely an exit strategy for the executives. From what I hear/gather around various campfires, they missed the athletic/casual wear trend badly and the pandemic/stay home stuff was way outselling the lacy underalls.

I'd guess the exit strategy theory is on the nose as retail apparel is at least a quarter and sometimes a three quarter of a year lead time. I'm thinking they're fooked and grabbing what they can on the way out.

Then he gets 11 holidays this year. So that's 37 days.

Add in the minimum 20 days worth of Annual Leave he must take to carry over the max of 240 unused hours. Brings the total to 57.

When he hits 15 years of service, the minimum Annual Leave usage jumps up to 26 days. That's 63 days off.

Quit, today, right now. Never show up again. We'll continue to pay you your salary, including raises on the existing schedule, until you reach 67 years of age. But you're never coming back. Take the payout and quit now, or risk being fired with no payout later.

My old company used time off accrual schemes for hourly workers, but swapped it over to non-accrued "unlimited" time off for salaried workers.

The annual leave there could roll over to the next year, but your accumulated time off balance could not exceed 150% of your entitlement, or it you would stop accruing. HR would send an automated message saying, "hey, dumbass, you're at your cap. Take some time off." I always bounced around the cap.

When they converted me to a salaried position, the accrued time off had to be paid out just like if I had quit or been fired. That was a three-week paycheck, plus 192 hours of accumulated leave, with a bit of overtime in the mix. It is still the largest paycheck I have ever received.

Yup. I took less time off when I went to non-accrued. It is a brilliant policy, really. You have all you want, but the competitive pressure keeps you from exploiting it well. Plus, no overhanging liability on the company's books (since accrued time off is time worked, and they have to pay it out when you leave the company for whatever reason).

More recent work indicates that it's not young blood at all, but rather diluting various bad stuff that builds up in the old blood over time (presumably stuff that can't be removed by the normal excretory functions of the kidney, liver, etc.). Sort of like the way you need an oil change eventually, no matter how good your oil filter might be.

Replacing old blood plasma with saline + albumen appears to work just as well as replacing old whole blood with young whole blood.

So, no vampirism in our future. See:

HR would send an automated message saying, "hey, dumbass, you're at your cap. Take some time off." I always bounced around the cap.

When they converted me to a salaried position, the accrued time off had to be paid out just like if I had quit or been fired. That was a three-week paycheck, plus 192 hours of accumulated leave, with a bit of overtime in the mix. It is still the largest paycheck I have ever received.

My old company had the same 150% cap... exect they lifted the cap for covid, so I quit for my new job with just under 9 weeks... was a nice non-retention bonus.

332 What's funny is, I don't trust him either but I don't worry he'll sell us out. I do worry that he's using a MAGA agenda to further his career. DeSantis seems to naturally follow conservative policies. Gaetz seems like he'd quit if offered Hannity's role.

333 So the media now has convinced me that whatever they say about Gaetz is the opposite of what is true.

344 Matt Gaetz had *sex* with a *biological woman*. That he was *not* married to. Potentially many women, that were feminine and *gasp* good looking.

Let that sink in for a moment while we get the firing squad for him ready.

You are correct, I checked and there was no direct command. But I think "blessing the faith but not the lie" is a distinction without much of a difference.

347 OM - so glad you're back and posting such great content. Hope your recovery is progressing well!

I commented a few days ago about people eating bugs. I just don't get it. Here in central MD, the Brood X cicadas are dying off. I'll miss them. I find them fascinating and enjoy their noise. Their goofy little fluttering type of flying makes me smile. This is my 3rd time experiencing them. Never once have I considered eating one! Saw a woman a few days ago with a bucket picking them off of trees. She had hundreds in the bucket. I asked her why. She said to eat them. WTF?!?!?

They come out in such numbers and in such large and odd intervals that predators can't increase populations to meet them, so more survive to produce the next outbreak. Those that straggle off the cycle fare much worse.

350 Of course this will be willowed, but I just got here and saw my old post re: liberals/conservatives. I did mean William Blake, agree that Edmund Burke would have been much better. But Blake is what popped out. I'm glad a few people had fun with it.

352 There are what are called senescent cells. Killing them off has positive effects on health and aging.

That will be the next big drug craze

Dilution is also not the only thing in blood. But they are working on isolating the compounds that work and turning it into another drug.

I have no problem with either of these! I would like a few more healthy years!
