President of the Leftwing Swamp Outfit The Niskanen Center Resigns In Disgrace After Reports That He Violently Attacked His Wife

These guys have been leftwing stooges opposing President Trump and real conservatism.

The Niskanen Center was formed after a leadership struggle within Cato Institute. The Koch brothers, who are also liberals, took over Cato.

The Niskanen Center was then started by Cato "libertarians" who didn't think the liberal Koch brothers were quite liberal enough.

Jerry Taylor, the co-founder and president of the Niskanen Center, recently resigned from the Washington, D.C.-based think tank after being charged with violently attacking his wife, according to court records obtained by POLITICO.
Taylor, who previously had been a longtime top official of the Cato Institute, was arrested in early June on a misdemeanor charge of assault and battery of a family member in Arlington, Va.
He denies the accusations, but says he pleaded guilty in exchange for the charges being dismissed as long as he successfully completes a domestic violence and substance abuse prevention program.
On the night in question, Taylor had been up late after celebrating his son's high school graduation. When his wife saw him drinking and using his iPad, she urged him to go to bed and threw his iPad in the trash, according to what she told a police officer who responded to the scene and wrote handwritten notes for a criminal complaint.
Taylor, 58, then allegedly pushed her onto the kitchen floor and put his hands around her neck and slapped her, the officer recorded in her notes. After she told him he shouldn't do that, Taylor allegedly pushed her out of the house and pushed her down the front steps, injuring her, according to the complaint.

Wow, I can't believe a NeverTrumper is getting drunk and then going on social media into the small hours! That's totally not their thing, man!

Jerry Taylor has a history of violent ideation. The president of the supposed "libertarian" organization said vowed he "beat the brains in" of the McCloskey's, for the crime of brandishing (non-working) weapons to warn thugs to stop trespassing on their property.

Indeed.

Below, the typical "Tough Guy NeverTrumper" in all his imposing, masculine glory.

t-bird observed in the last thread that it would not be long until the medical establishment started "jiggering" tests to ge their desired outcome.
That is: that natural immunity is a MYTH.

I just returned from my rapid antibody test. The result was ZERO antibodies.

This after the pharmacist and his assistant tried to talk me out of the test and into the jab.

I found the test results intweresting as I had Covid in April of this year.

I beggars belief that anyone, much less a Covid survivor would have zero antibodies.

There really isn't anything that's able to compete with it, and I hate that.

Same way that any other ultra-wealthy politically-active non-out-and-proud leftist does. They advocate for "free markets" and other such platitudes that serve to line their own pockets, and make that the centerpiece of their political activism. Meanwhile their wine mom trophy wives still need to be in good stead at the ultra-exclusive country clubs they frequent, so they're "Social libertarians" so that they don't have to argue about icky social topics every evening over wine.

I feel like maybe 30-40 years ago it was a little bit of a serious movement.

But even then, didn't Ron Paul and one of the Koch run against Ronald Reagan for President under the Libertarian Party? Reagan probably did more for the case of smaller government than any politician in several generations. Its why I think Libertarians are basically just spoilers and don;t really want smaller government.

I don't feel that I fit in any political bucket, but perhaps "anarcho-capitalist" is somewhere in the ballpark for me.

I do wonder if the Niskanen family is content with a rather sketchy crew appropriating Wm. Niskanen's name for their enterprise.

Libertarianism comes in a half-dozen flavors, each with a signature element of unpalatability.

But I actually think the GOP and the "religious right" is just not really there as much anymore. I also think "conservative" on social issues is now thinking that I don't want a drag queen in my kid's bathroom at school. What we used to call common sense and 90% of the nation was on the same page.

Conservatives mostly want to be left alone. Less Government means less nannies and ninnies watching you, and telling you what to do and when to do it. Conservative means telling businesses do what they do best, do it fairly without illegal acts or government interference and stay out of our lives too.

Except where is the MONEY and power in pushing less government? Principles are fine, but more government is where the money is!

It is entirely possible. But it doesn't mean that you don't have immunity. All it means is that your body hasn't made antibodies for CCP flu in awhile, and the ones you had died off. But your body remembers the antigen (the virus) in other ways, and can mount an immune response very quickly.

160 I beggars belief that anyone, much less a Covid survivor would have zero antibodies.
Posted by: Joe Mama
CAT or others hopefully will comment. I was an immunologist, now retired. When you are exposed to a foreign stimulant like a virus, the B lymphocytes of your body respond by making antibodies. After you fight off infection, there are memory B cells, that are ready to respond, the next time you see the same antigen/virus/whatever. And they are optimized, the antibodies are optimized for fighting that antigen. So the response is quicker etc.
But! I suspect that such antibody production is not turned on unless you are challenged with the antigen again. So I can believe that antibody levels (titers) would be below detection. Why would your body be making antibodies to CV19, months after infection. That is not what your body does.* Otherwise, your body would be cranking out antibodies to every antigen you had ever been exposed to in the past.

*I am not an expert on antibodies. My area was genetics of the immune system and cytokines.

It was the start of the year in our old Celtic lands, and we'd be waiting...in our houses of wattles and clay. The barriers would be down, you see, between the real and the unreal, and the dead might be looking in...to sit by our fires of turf. Halloween...the festival of Samhain! The last great one took place three thousand years ago, when the hills ran red...with the blood of animals and children.

Your body has B cells that are busy making different forms of antibody, in response to an antigen (virus/bacteria/whatever). But it also has memory B cells. So after exposure, these memory cells are around essentially forever, and retain the memory (DNA based memory) to respond to that antigen again if you are infected or exposed again. Those memory Bs, have these responsive antibody molecules on their cell surface. Basically a form of cell receptor. When the antigen is present, it will bind to this antibody, on the cell surface, and activate the memory B cell. The activated cell will produce more of itself, proliferate, and also crank out antibody.

250 Among the Lares and Penates of my household is the .32 revolver that my Dad bought my real mom because he worked late and left her and her kids home in the evenings, just after they got married and while she was pregnant with me.
It is also the pistol that she chased my grandfather and half sister and half brother out of the house during a drunken rage.

Dad had a number of stories about my real mom. I was raised by him and my step-mom.

He seems to more right than wrong on his predictions.
His insider scoops are slightly less accurate, but too many are later reported true for him to just make shit up.

I think he has sources (plural) inside the WH. There are lots of permanent staff, secretaries, Secret Service that are non-political workers. Also, partisans know his Twitter will get their attack on an opponent serious publicity in the DC Cesspool.

I check his feed daily, along with AOSHQ, Small Dead Animals, Wyatt, Althouse, Gunfreezone.net, and Instapundit.

No one could figure out how it is that we could response so beautifully to so many antigens/viruses/bacteria/etc. We thought, when you are born, your DNA just stays the same, except for damage, mutation. A Japanese scientist, Tonegawa, showed that the DNA in B cells, rearranges, and this allows for antibody diversity. So in these cells, at least, the DNA does change. An amazing discovery.

Well, many people are separated from God for a long time
because they think God is responsible to the bad things that happened. God doesn't cause people to sin-as in the case of your mother's violence after drinking Some find their way back to God and some don't, as you know. I'm glad you did, and I'm sure your experiences as difficult as they were allows you to empathize with people have similiar difficulties and God drawing you back can be a witness to others.
