Sky news is reporting that the 25 year old man who killed British MP Sir David Amess "is of Somali origin and the suspected motivation is Islamist..."
We may never know his real motivation...

"OSHA mandates the US Postal Service be vaccinated against COVID-19, fact-checkers report"
It's been noted that the USPS exempted themselves from the mandate. Now comes OSHA saying; "Nah, y'all got more than 100 employees. We rule, you drool."
The infighting amongst federal agencies, quasi-federal and contractors over who rules over whom is going to be fun. In a sane world no mandate of any kind would even be considered until this shit was resolved.

Theyre defining themselves by how socially concerned they are.
Such a joke. If they were really "socially concerned" they wouldn't be destroying the value of our currency and helping the government spend the nation into bankruptcy...

You're not seeing this the way Our Betters do. They are not Americans. They are Citizens of the World.
So, fuck America. You just happened to be born in a rich country purely by accident, a quirk of fate as it were. There is nothing special about America, its culture, its system of governance, its majority religions, its financial system, etc, etc. And so now, you must be taught not only how the rest of the world lives (3rd world version). You must be forced to live that way, you bastard.
Oddly enough, forcing us randomly lucky bastards to live like 3rd worlders involves destroying, our culture, oursystem of governance, our judeo-christian traditions, our financial, our etc.
Ironic, no?

Yes, the killer was a dedicated, honest, punctual hard-worker, loved by everyone for his kind demeanor and skills in the workplace, yet due to Kapitolism he was mercilessly thrown out into the streets where the only option available to put food on the table, a roof over his head, and clothes on his back, was to kill some dude at church.
That, or he was always a person of low character and reputation and this is the high water mark of his career.

I have simplified the Us vs Them paradigm to its most primitive roots. Its the Life unworthy of Life (them) vs Imago Dei (many of us) others are completely clueless.
For all who are not the Imago Dei types, the language of life, liberty, faith, and Rights are just sounds that have no meaning. They are completely uncapable of processing those words as much as a toddler comprehending astrophysics.
I submit that it is literally impossible for them to understand what makes America as the framers intended Exceptional.

Yes, I knew that already. My question is regarding the statement on Twitter by "fact-checkers" that this policy is now in place. Last I knew, OSHA had not implemented -- and was not going to implement -- this policy.
This seems like misinformation put out specifically to address the fact that people are noting that FJB exempted post office employees from his mandate. And that the 100+ employee mandate does not exist either.
The wording is "OSHA mandates..." I interpret that to mean that OSHA put out some mandate yesterday. Or, as I said, this is misinformation by social media and no OSHA mandate exists (yet).

Now is a "good" time to go on strike in some people's eyes. But the Posties, I think they can't go on strike. That's part of their sweetheart deal as government/non government agency, depending on what day it is. Could get ... interesting real quick.

Yeah, I'm not sure who I detest more. Those involved in the Plandemic misinformation and disinformation campaign, or the millions of people who actually believe this illogical bullshit.
If a vaccine works, then the vaccinated cannot be infected with a virus. So the only people at risk of infection would be the non-vaccinated. The only way that a vaccinated person would be at-risk is if the vaccine does not work. In which case, it would not matter if 100% of people were vaccinated, everyone would still be at risk of infection.
This is just basic logic that a child could understand. Yet, every federal and state politician, agency, "health" dept, etc is going along with the "get vaxxed!" narrative. I feel like I have been living in fucking bizarro world the last 18 months.

Other than Todd Herman, pretty much every talk show host that is semi-honest about the efficacy of the mRNA Kill Shot will simply acknowledge that it doesn't prevent infection, doesn't prevent transmitting it, and doesn't prevent hospitalizations or death. No one except Herman will acknowledge the adverse effects and all of them will say "I got the shot, its the most effective way to stop the spread, you should get it to, but its your choice".

Why bother putting any disclaimers, since those are not to keep people informed of the possible adverse effects of the drug so people can make an informed decision, but are solely as CYA for the drug companies in the event of a lawsuit. "We warned you that this could be a side effect, you still chose to take the drug, not our fault."
But in the case of the "vaccines", under the UEA, every company has immunity from liability. So no legal reason to warn people. There are ethical and moral reasons, but this country stopped caring about ethics and morals a long time ago.

Yep. I saw this on Twitter a while back (09/09/21). Coincidentally, it was *right* after I had written a blog post about the definition of a vaccine. So I went back and added the definition change to the post. Not surprising, since the left has been busy changing the definitions of words to fit their narrative for years (i.e. changing "racism" to now mean that minorities cannot be racist, since they are an oppressed group), but no less enraging.
By Definition, There is No SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 Vaccine. Period.

The USPS will continue to exist but the plan has been to reinvent much of the agency, and it seems it has begun. OSHA inspections/fines may help justify some closures, modifications.
Also, the USPS monitors email & its first class mail delivery is changing. (It and the banking industry already have strong ties.) Fewer mail deliveries to homes, less paper bills getting to user households in a timely manner which pretty much forces many resisters into online banking - easier for IRS monitoring and reporting.

NCAA task force recommends removing minimum standardized test scores in effort to advance racial equity
An NCAA task force recommended on Friday that incoming freshmen in Division I and II sports should no longer be required to meet minimum scores on standardized tests for initial eligibility.
The recommendation was made by the NCAA Standardized Test Score Task Force, which was formed as part of the NCAA's eight-point plan to advance racial equity.

Reinvestment exclusion was old tax law. Somewhat simplified CG exclusion on primary residence is 250K (500k) for MFJ. If the house was a rental you may qualify for exclusion if you lived in it for 2 of the last 5 years. Otherwise, yea get bit by CG tax.

Coincidentally, something interesting happened at the international arena less than twenty four hours later. The US government led an international effort to impose a minimum business tax around the globe in order to get multinational companies to pay their fair share of taxes. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) announced on Oct. 8, 2021, that, effective in 2023, its members have agreed to set a global corporate minimum tax rate of 15%. [ ... ] The landmark deal championed by the US government, agreed by 136 countries and jurisdictions representing more than 90% of global GDP, will nominally reallocate more than $125 billion of profits from around 100 of the world's largest and most profitable multinational corporations to countries worldwide, ensuring that these firms pay a fair share...

The problem in in enforcement, and the fact that there is no unified body to enforce the requirement. All of the megacorps will be able to buy one of the smaller governments, which will then certify to the others that yes, they paid their taxes to us.

It's tough to move. Hubby NEC and I have done it 3 times in retirement. I didn't like the first move and he didn't like the second. We've been here 6 months and so far so good. However, you miss a lot of things when you move from a metro area of close to a million to a state that's just about that population.
We live just outside a town of 638 souls and 20 minutes from an area that's a bit over 100,000. We have to go to the big city for the chain type places and swanky dining. Also the big box stores.

If you have astigmatism, people have trouble with the red dot as it appears fuzzy. If you don't, then the red dot is fine but I would suggest co witness with tall iron sights. The reason is that some people used to iron sights have a problem chasing the red dot so tall iron sights means that your brain has a point of reference to locate where the dot is supposed to be. Otherwise, it takes a spot of training yourself on presenting the firearm (from a draw) so that the red dot appears where it is supposed to be.

Was he actually from Cleveland or from a suburb around Cleveland? (i.e. I live in Rochester Hills, about 20 min drive north of downtown Detroit, but when I say that, people have no idea where that is in Michigan. So I just say "Detroit area").
I remember in college when I was meeting people and I told them I was from Chicago and they'd say "oh yeah, so am I!" And when I asked what part, they'd say some suburb (Shaumburg, Naperville, etc). I'd tell them that's not actually Chicago. Then they'd look at my funny when I told them I was from the southside of Chicago. They'd ask if I meant Orland Park, Tinley Park, etc. "Um, no, actual city limits of Chicago. Near Midway Airport." They'd then just stare at me with a puzzled look on their faces.

I retired, and then took a summer gig to help a friend out in Denver. Six years ago. We bought a house on the plains up north and relocated after being in our house for some *mumbley mumbles* years. Told the kids come get what you want, most of the household stuff and clothing went to Good Will, and the rest to 1-800-GOT-JUNK.
It was cathartic.

I don't see enforcement as a problem. Just take note of the last 18 months of the Plandemic. Every single government and every single corporation has gotten on board with the Plandemic requirements. Most are even jumping at the chance to fire their employees over refusing "vaccination". But they've all gotten on board with the propaganda. There is not one corporation in the world which dares reject it. That goes also for the alphabet soup rainbow mafia and the Burn-Loot-Murder propaganda. Hell, it's also been going on for decades now with the "climate change" policies and regulations and taxes and fines. No corporation is defying any of this shit.

Being from around that area, I find it fascinating. The downtown area has actually experienced a renaissance, of sorts. Yuppies moving into new, upscale apartment and condo developments. Quite a few top-notch restaurants in the city to chose from. For the most part, the lakefront is a pretty nice place to be. On the other had, in 10 minutes or less of driving, you can find yourself in the Kinsman neighborhood, which gives Southeastern Chicago a run for its money.

I've put a "hold" or "freeze" on my credit card before when I saw weird charges I couldn't reconcile. That means that if someone else has the CC number and the security code to use it, the merchant will decline the transaction. Now, if that person has access to your online account to unfreeze it you're probably fucked. That's where LifeLock might be a better fit to help resolve things.
Posted by: Martini Farmer at October 16, 2021 10:12 AM (BFigT)
I have had something like this setup with my Fifth Third Bank accounts for years now. They also have things you can setup for low balance to get notified with a text when your balance goes under a certain amount. And for years they have had account monitoring where they will send you a text of "unusual activity" on your account and ask you to confirm a transaction was made by you.
And their service for fixing incorrect transactions was very efficient, at least in the one situation I had to use it. I noticed a double charge to my account for $150 for a gaming service that I don't even have. I called the number to report it, they took all my information and asked me if I had any idea how my card info could have been stolen, etc, then said it would be reviewed and I would receive an answer in a couple weeks. 2 weeks later, I had a letter stating the charges had been removed from my account and money reimbursed.
