The Quotes of The Day

Quote I
The term "Breakthrough Infection" is a not-so-cute euphemism for "the fucking shot doesn't work". Matthew Noto


Quote II

"Disproving viral tweets is different than debunking a TV ad. Combating meme makers is different than rebutting newspap er columnists. And the memes are pretty powerful sometimes." CNN's Brian Stelter


Quote III

“He became a bright antithesis to Russian capitalism, a guide on how you can get rich in the right way and how you can spend the money you earned in the right way,” said Alexey Firsov,


Quote IV

We need to love due process like Brian Stelter, who is a potato, loves carbs. We need to be as committed to due process as Joy Reid is to her bizarre racist insanity. We need to be bigger fans of due process than President * is of Matlock. Kurt Schlichter

LAPD allegedly warned by tech giant to stop creating and using phony accounts to spy on criminal suspects

LOS ANGELES, CA — According to multiple reports, Meta, the company formerly known as Facebook, contacted the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) via letter and requested it stop using “dummy” accounts on its platform to conduct surveillance on other users who the police may regard as criminal suspects.

On Nov. 11, Meta’s Roy L. Austin Jr., Vice President and Deputy General Counsel, sent a three-page letter to Chief Michel R. Moore alleging his department was creating phony social media accounts and even impersonating legitimate users.

I'm still trying to get caught up from vacation..............

Biden regime suffers another legal loss.

A federal judge in Missouri has blocked US President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate for healthcare workers in 10 states, saying that it would need approval from Congress – which it does not have.
US District Court Judge Matthew Schelp issued a preliminary injunction on Monday, blocking the White House’s order that all workers employed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) had to be vaccinated by January 4, 2022 or face losing their jobs.

“The nature and breadth of the CMS mandate requires clear authorization from Congress—and Congress has provided none,” Schelp said, adding the injunction is warranted by the “vast economic and political significance” of the mandate.

Is the White House backing off on vaccine mandates? Time will tell.

Details are thin, but Presidentish Joe Biden reportedly will suspend his vaccine mandate for federal workers.

According to a memo issued by the Biden administration, the “White House’s Office of Management and Budget is telling federal agencies they should hold off on suspending or firing federal workers for not complying with the vaccine mandate until after the holidays

Grand juries could indict a ham sammich it is said. So they indicted Steve Bannon. Bannon says let's open up the evidence.

Former advisor to President Trump, Stephen K. Bannon, has filed a motion to the U.S. district court in order for documents related to his contempt of Congress case to be released publicly. The motion was filed in opposition to the court’s protective order for discovery, which currently prevents both the defense and prosecution from releasing evidence or documents to the public.

In a statement provided on behalf of Bannon to the Washington Post, he said, “In the opposition filed today, Mr. Bannon asked the judge to follow the normal process and allow unfettered access to and use of t he documents. Members of the public should make their own independent judgement as to whether the U.S. Department of Justice is committed to a just result based upon all the facts.”

On Nov. 12th, Bannon was indicted by a federal grand jury on two counts of contempt of Congress after failing to appear before the House select committee investigating the events of Jan. 6th. Bannon has pleaded not guilty to the charges.


Imagine if Bannon was a RINO?

So telling someone to get laid is good advice? Why Some People Find It Harder to Be Happy, According to Science

The self-help industry is booming, fueled by research on positive psychology – the scientific study of what makes people flourish.

At the same time, the rates of anxiety, depression and self-harm continue to soar worldwide. So are we doomed to be unhappy, despite these advances in psychology?


According to an influential article published in Review of General Psychology in 2005, 50 percent of people's happiness is determined by their genes, 10 percent depends on their circumstances and 40 percent on "intentional activity" (mainly, whether you're positive or not).

Hmmmm. How can I delicately put this? It's a shame he was shot by a police officer. But, it appears the world he cruised in is a better place now.

HENNEPIN COUNTY, Minn. — The estate of Daunte Wright, 20, who was fatally shot by a former Brooklyn Center officer as he fought to get away from police during a detention, was slapped with a third lawsuit on Monday, according to Fox News.


The lawsuit was filed on behalf of a female crime victim who accused Wright of choking her at gunpoint as he demanded cash during a robbery in December 2019.


The new civil complaint comes a day before jury selection is expected to begin at the Hennepin County Courthouse in the trial for Kim Potter, who is facing manslaughter charges in connection to Wright’s death, Law Officer reported. The circumstances are also the origin of the felony arrest warrant that was issued for Wright when he fought with officers in his desire to get away.

Potter reportedly discharged her firearm as Wright wrestled to free himself from officers, while intending to deploy her Taser, according to reports.

Mike Padden, the attorney handling all three civil lawsuits against Wright’s estate, provided a copy of the latest civil filing to Fox News Digital on Monday.

“Dad, you taught me everything I know about exterior illumination.”

If this season brings out the Clark Griswold in you, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has a request. While over-the-top home decorations may spread both Christmas cheer and jealousy among your neighbors, please make sure your holiday laser lights are aimed at the house and not the sky.

In recent years, holiday light projectors have become all the rage in seasonal decorating, bringing ease to a task that traditionally required untangling endless yards of string lights and standing on a ladder in the bitter cold.

In a recent statement, the FAA said that holiday laser displays can cause major problems for pilots. “Each year, we receive reports from pilots who are distracted or temporarily blinded by residential laser-light displays,” said the agency.

“You might not realize this, but a well-meaning attempt to spread holiday cheer has the potential to create a serious safety risk to pilots and passengers on airplanes that fly overhead,” continues the statement. “So please make sure all laser lights are directed at your house and not pointing towards the sky. The extremely concentrated beams of laser lights reach much farther than you might realize.

Wow, these are some charming neighbors to have.

Air ambulance team share 'brutal' message resident sent after being woken up
The unknown person wrote a blistering message to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance demanding to know why they had been flying at 4am - and said they would no longer donate

It's never ideal to be woken up from a deep slumber – but surely nobody could be that angry when the disturbance was caused by the emergency services...would they?

Well, it turns out some people have no shame - including one unnamed resident who was left fuming after being woken up by an air ambulance.

Tonight's mental health review centers around Time Shifters.

For many the idea of shifting into a parallel universe will be something left to superhero movies and science fiction books.

But for some it is perhaps a reality, with dozens of TikTok users are claiming they have shifted realities into parallel timelines - both accidentally and intentionally.

The users claim they use the shower as their portal for time travel, simply by changing the temperature from hot to cold and 'manifesting' the change they want.

There are two bright spots in the next story. They weren't trapped with a Yoko cover band or Tanya.

Pondering being trapped on a desert island with only an Oasis cover band for entertainment may sound like a fun hypothetical to weigh over a pint of beer. But that was essentially the fate for 60 or so pubgoers at the Tan Hill Inn.

For three days, visitors to the UK’s highest pub were stranded after a powerful snowstorm dumped about 3 feet (1 meter) of snow on the Yorkshire highlands. The road leading to the pub was only just cleared, allowing visitors to escape (or be dragged, as the case may be) back to real life.

Noasis, an Oasis cover band, was slated to play the Tan Hill Inn on Friday night. The real Oasis warned of being caught beneath a landslide, but it turns out snow was the real risk the band should’ve warned people about. The Tan Hill Inn sits at 1,732 feet (528 meters) above sea level along a winding road in the Yorkshire Dales. Storm Arwen roared into the UK on Friday, bringing heavy snow and winds to the highlands. Of the three roads to access the inn, two were blocked by snow and a third was blocked by a downed power line.

There's fame and then there is the fame that comes from being Genius Award Winners.

NOVEMBER 22--While seated in the rear of a Florida Highway Patrol cruiser, Summer Watkins had a brilliant idea. “Baby, we should record an OnlyFans video back here,” the 24-year-old yelled to her male companion, who would soon join her in the squad car.

Watkins and Yordan Noa, 24, were seated in the police vehicle after Noa’s BMW was pulled over early Thursday since he was driving with a suspended license. Cops planned to transport the duo to nearby Shell station in Naples where they could “make arrangements to get home,” according to an arrest report.

When Noa joined her in the patrol car, Watkins asked a cop, “What if I suck his dick back here?” The officer replied that she could not do that. Watkins, however, persisted: “Can I suck his dick back here?” The officer responded, “No.”

They look like a lovely couple.

This looks interesting and I may well contact my orthopod about it. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.

A new medical procedure could improve quality of life for millions of people after they undergo knee replacement surgery.

The treatment offers arthritis patients long term pain relief and an alternative to highly addictive painkillers, say scientists.

Arthritis or similar health conditions can make the joints, including knees and hips, extremely painful.


A growing number of patients are getting knee replacement surgery in the hope of regaining some mobility and quality of life. But between 15 and 30 percent of those who go under the knife continue to experience pain and stiffness. While some decide to go through surgery again, there is no guarantee this will solve the problem.

Now, scientists in the United States have tested a new procedure which could offer them long-term relief at last.

Assistant professor Felix Gonzalez at the Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta said, “A lot of patients don’t achieve any resolution of pain.

“It’s a big problem, and up till now, there weren’t any other options.”


The procedure, dubbed cooled radio frequency ablation (C-RFA), involves using a large needle to target specific nerve locations around the knee while the patient is under general anaesthetic.


A probe is then guided to the location before emitting a low voltage current—or radio frequency to the deep sensory nerves around the knee.

Dr Gonzalez said, “With a larger propagating heat wave, you can account for the differences in nerve anatomy from patient to patient because of a larger treatment zone.

“Treating a larger zone increases the effectiveness of the procedure.”

The researchers surveyed 21 patients who had complete knee replacement surgery and were suffering from persistent chronic pain.

The CDC just admitted the clot shot doesn't stop transmission so...there is no actual reason for it.

I presume if Biden does back down it means that the data on how dangerous the clot shot is, is about to come out.

And...I see from Alex Berenson that British people who've gotten the clot shot are dying at twice the rate of people who haven't.

262 Well, the official preview of the Green Nude Eel is currently unfolding in Europe.

The Europeans have been happily shutting down coal plants (except for Poland) and nuclear (except for France), and replacing them with "clean", unreliable "renewable" resources. But not to worry - they can back up the renewables with natural gas - which is imported from Russia, and under Putin's control.

This has already doubled electric rates in Germany, but they are moving on to Phase 2 of the Green Nude Eel, which is the possibility of rolling blackouts. In midwinter.

Turns out that the wind doesn't blow when it's cold, and solar doesn't work very well in the winter in Europe (Berlin now has eight hours of daylight, and 7:40 of daylight at the solstice). France has been delaying maintenance of its nuclear plants due to Covid, so they have less power to export than usual.
But not to worry, I'm sure Putin will bail the Europeans out.

Depression fucks with the mind. Some believe not only are they getting rid of their pain, but that they are removing the pain of their existence from others.

I did, even though I never thought I would dip bread in eggs that had pepper in them. Thought - very briefly - about eating them without syrup, then had second thoughts about that, and poured the maple stuff on. Tasted great, even though 'salt and pepper'.

The problem is, he directed it too. And he didn't do one of his distinctive Clint Eastwood pet project movies for years after that. He was busy with stuff like Absolute Power and Space Cowboys but... I dunno. Maybe he just liked the book?

349 Suicide is brutally selfish and nearly hateful to everyone around the person who does so. I know the person who does it is suffering terribly, believe me I've been a gnat's eyelash from it myself.

But ultimately depression turns you in on yourself until that's all you see and all you care about. Suicide is completely self focused and selfish, caring nothing about anyone else or what it does to others.

The key is to set the timing up where the person you're going to scare the crap out of isn't too afraid and starts down the bridge but then you enter from the opposite side once they've passed the halfway mark. With the screaming and the galloping and the headlessness, very striking. They'll definitely drop a load.

383 Oh I agree that the folks left behind are hurt and devastated, but the person who wants to end it all isn't necessarily thinking about them

That was what stopped me from that final step in front of a train: what it would do to the poor train conductor and my family who love me dearly, though I surely do not deserve their affection. I couldn't do that to them no matter how much I hurt.

That was the one Clint Eastwood movie I hated. I don't like Meryl's acting and in that movie she was more annoying than in most. Her acting looks to me like "acting", especially when she does that whispery voice, fake.

I just saw the movie a month or so ago.
What bothered me was that the character stayed even though she obviously felt she was being held hostage by her children and husband.
Requesting that her ashes be with "him" because she had given her years to "them" almost made me puke.

Imagine if you will though it really happened. A teenage girl sits down on a bench that is on a bridge that crosses a small stream. It is winter time so before 6pm it is quite dark and the bridge is invisible just 50ft away.

Why do I say 6pm? You see a pair of teens crossed that bridge before then and discovered the young girl had shot and killed herself.

Then everyone waiting inside the church for services to start found out what happened on their doorstep.

On the other hand, see Roark's Drift (Zulu).

Or, the eastern front, starting with Bagration, and certainly by March '45. Red Army had their "ooo-RAAAH" yell, but the massive artillery prep with katyusha chaser probably was a bigger thing for the krauts.

His book on Robert Moses is the most detailed out there. As I said, I don't remember the book being that granular as to his reasoning. One could imply from Moses' actions that he cared little for the poorer communities he tore apart.

On the other hand, The Robert Moses Parkway up in Niagara Falls cut off an affluent community from the gorge downstream of the Falls. So he was an equal opportunity "planner".

543 > Got to work the next morning and the damn carpet was gone. Whoever stole got a very unwelcome surprise I'm sure.

There was a case where a dude who worked for a medical school went into Manhattan to pick up a box of human heads for the school.

He left the box in his car while he attended to another errand, and sure enough, someone broke in and stole it.

They found the box sitting on the sidewalk a few blocks away.

Too bad this was long before the day of ubiquitous security cameras, because I would dearly love seeing the thief's expression when he opened the box and realized what he had.

The Belt Parkway thing was about class, not race, I just brought it up in the generally idiotic context of the vapid twink SecTrans' stupid remarks, the referenced (of course) race.

Didn't think it was a federal project. But I don't know anything about that road (other than it's not fun in dense traffic), and the bridges are very low.

Of course "race" usually is nothing more than a lazy false categorizer for class/social condition, so it becomes a circular discussion. In that context, let's discuss no Metro in Georgetown.

If that wasn't tragic enough, the story is that the family found a note that she missed her grandparents so much and just wanted to be with them. She wasn't so much killing herself as much as she was trying to see her grandparents again.

615 It's about a woman who commits adultery. How is that romantic?

Now that I spend a few minutes thinking about it the movie legitimized victim-hood. What the heck was Eastwood's point directing it?

The character gave her years to her family even though she regretted that decision all along, obviously, by disclosing / subjecting her children to it after she was dead and she could no longer be held accountable.
She was the victim of her adultery, not her husband and their marriage and certainly not her children, at least in her mind.

616 As I recall, her kids and husband weren't very appreciative when she made the lunches or cooked breakfast or something. So, she went out and fu**ed Clint Eastwood.

623 My favorite part of The Bridges of Madison County is when Clint Eastwood dynamites all the bridges in the county and then roars, "I'm not trapped in this godforsaken county with you sons a bitches, you are trapped in here with me.

728 Wads are recommended just for what publius said. Ditto on grease. Some do both with just a dab of grease over the wad. Using the greases designed for blackpowder eases the removal of fouling upon cleanup.

Major no no using cap and ball revolvers, use dead soft lead (pure), not alloys. Should be able to make a thumbnail print into pure lead and not for alloys. Using harder cast bullets can create just a bit too much pressure and it will fail to obdurate properly to seal off the chamber risking chain fire.

735 @ 725 I'd recommend wads and a powder charge of no more than 22-24 grains of 3F. Brass Remingtons are structurally stronger than Colts (cast frame vs open top) but brass is inherently weaker and the lower charge will allow much more plinking.

Would see them all the time, walking by after school. They'd wave...
Every Halloween they'd show me their costumes and skip away with plenty candy.
Christmas I'd give them and their folks special baked treats and gifts from my company store (t-shirts and the like) cont'd

Both would occasionally mow the lawn, which was nice!
They were my buds when my old cat died.
They helped me wash my bike for my wedding day.

And then, one day---

I find that the older one had hanged himself at age 19.
His little brother, 17, had found him but it was too late.

781 The story A Christmas Carol by Dickens has a few good quotes; Bobs yer uncle,, dead as a doornail etc

My Dad's cousin's husband committed sideways in the car /garage shortly after his wife died, she had poor health for a long time. They had the funeral quickly and we only found out in the newspaper. My aunt filled us in on it months later. I was close to their daughter for a while after that (same age ) but she never mentioned it.

I was up on pipeline construction on Hwy 11 Ont west of Geraldton and a guy walked in front of a semi , I had just gone that way 5 minutes ago just missed, heard on the company radio net about it, the guy who came up on it had had a suicide or two in his family, this guy apparently left a note in his vehicle.

Just got the new water pump back in the dodge caravan
now got to reassemble the timing belt covers, the motor mounts, the alternator mounts and flush the system and hope it didn't wreck something when it started to overheat.

797 Two of my great-uncles and one of my cousins committed suicide. My dad once asked me (apparently the expert) if I thought creative types commit suicide more often, since they were painters, architects, my kinda folks, apparently. I told him I thought most of them did so because they didn't see any other way to go, and that sort of thinking is rotten, and those who were there with them weren't well-versed on the signs. I know my attempt was born out of inability to see anything ever getting better, which was clearly false, but seemed very real at the time.

Which goes to why the .38 Special and .357 magnum bo.357 diameter bullet. Back in the day, the .38 S&W had a "heel-based" bullet, like a .22 LR. The bullet had TWO diameters. The smaller "heel" went into the case until a hard-shoulder was encountered. The visible part of the bullet was the same diameter as the outer-dimension of the case. The "Heel" was of .357 diameter, and the visible bullet section was of .38 inch measurement. Same as the outside dimension of the case.

A Colt Navy .36, carries the same .357 bore as the .38 Special/.357 Magnum. And a .22 LR's larger diameter is .223 in., same as in an AR-15. Which is why .22 adapters for an AR-15 can be made to work.

I recall discussing with English teachers about my disdain for fiction on a few occasions... My argument was something like 'why should I waste precious moments of my life reading fairy tales when I'll be lucky to live long enough to finish the encyclopaedia?'...

people write about war and make movies about war, even while they are in war. A funny thing about us. Even when real crap is going down, we still make stuff up for enjoyment, knowledge, and learning. I always have found that interesting. We value creative people and need to hear from them no matter what else is going on.

868 Ran into a former cow-orker at grocery a while back. She had quit and moved away some years ago (wasn't fit for the straight and narrow OR the jerb) but was in town visiting.

Anyway, she went on and on about how she knows "aBoUt A dOzEn PeOpLe WhO dIeD!111!!1!" of woo-floo and OMG blahblahblah.

I told her how I personally know *at least* a dozen ppl who have had the woo-floo and survived it. Don't know anyone who's died of it. Maybe something something about their LIFESTYLE???

871 SF Goth. Put this in with your WWII collection.

Herman Wouk, Winds of War. Historical Novel. But I think it'll add great storytelling to the foundation of your historical edifice. And the rest of the Wouk WWII sagas, besides.

There is a place for the Historical Novel. They serve to add color and texture to a palate mostly comprised of greyscale and monotone. Case in point. W.E.B. Griffin's tales of the U.S. Marines in the Banana Wars bring alive the scant histories extant in the actual literature. The histories ARE there, but are few, lacking context, texture and flavor.

Try Winds of War, and I think you'll not be disappointed.

875 A French general wrote a book about how the next war would be between huge air forces (WW2) which shaped the thinking of all governments leading up to WW2. Len Deighton who wrote a few war books , commented that the book was often quoted but seldom read. Could be true for a lot of other long war books.

Someone commented last night the 1976 swine flu crap went away because they stopped testing for it !

Around here, they stopped testing the asymptomatic. Gotta be SICK to find out whether you got coof. Well, I guess one could always purchase the "at home test"

880 I refuse to get the shot.

Hubby is between a rock and a hard place: He is older and has a lethal health issue, so... the shot could kill him. The 'vid could kill him.

Dr's told him "don't bother getting the shot" and we're okay with that. I worry that I'll bring it home to him, but whaddaya do? Got to leave the house sometime for food and gas and what-have-you.

881 99.8 % survival rate not adjusted for age and other factors. I worked with a real Karen for much of the coof, cut a hole in my mask one day, she told me there's a hole in your mask I just looked at her for a minute and said 'So What" She always came in with a mask on, probably wore it to bed, driving alone.I never put it on until customer came in.

I feel sorry for the stupid, she's probably still hiding. I told her it was a crock from day one.

It really is a revelation how many are stuck on stupid, explains why they still vote liberal, Trucastrodeau in Canada.

Well I'm mostly blue collar, been in lowes or home depot almost every day, or every other day while working on the house since April. No mask. Been around other crowds at car cruise nights where there were definitely people who went through covid. No problem. I'm one of those people who just never get sick, never had the flu, don't have allergies, no winter colds, etc. I have the immunity system from hell, and I heal fast. People say, oh stay away I have a cold. I say so what, I'm not gonna get it. Its probably that attitude is why I don't get sick. My body probably gets pelted every day with shit and is so used to it that it don't even matter.

892 SFGoth, I also prefer non fiction. Have you read Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin, by Timothy Snyder? I realized about 10 years ago that my WWII books were almost all about the western front, and set about to rectify that. Also my grandfather was from Belarus, so some family history in the region as well.

893 Not that i never get sick - almost died from scarlet fever as a baby - and got rubella something fierce as a toddler, plus the semi-annual week at home from the flu as a kid, but ever since then, it's been a day or 2 here and there. Almost a vacay of sorts since i treat myself to comfort food and lie around. I had what i thought was a mild flu end of feb, 2020, and 1 weird experience that summer where it felt like vertigo for a night so i slept sitting up. Since then, nada.
