Wednesday Overnight Open Thread (3/22/23)
Quote I ‘Although this victim had only minor injuries, we take this incident seriously.’ Colorado Parks and Wildlife Agency
Quote II “Now it’s time to arrest Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg for prosecutorial misconduct after hiding hundreds of pages of exculpatory evidence! Bragg is on the verge of indicting an innocent former President and top Presidential candidate against the opposing ruling party. Bragg is breaking the law and trying to incite civil unrest with his Soros funded political war. Hold him accountable.” Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA)
Quote III I need spirituality. I need God, or I cannot cope in this world. Russel Brand
There is only one wrong thing about this settlement. The taxpayers are flipping the bill and not the officials who violated Joseph Kennedy, a high school assistant football, civil rights.
Coach Fired For Praying At Football Game Reinstated To Old Role, Gets Nearly $2 Million Settlement Joseph Kennedy, a high school assistant football coach fired eight years ago for praying on the field with students, returned to his old position and will receive a $1.78 million settlement. Board members of the Bremerton School District in Washington voted last week to approve the settlement, which will cover attorney fees incurred by Kennedy in the landmark legal battle that reached the Supreme Court last year. Justices ruled that the public high school violated the First Amendment by placing Kennedy on administrative leave in response to his prayer.

I bet you could get some intelligent HS students to be more productive at the Fed than what we have now. Overheard in the men's room, "Let's make up more shit as we face these economic issues."
TOPLINE The Federal Reserve raised interest rates again Wednesday to a 16-year high, making borrowing costs between banks even more expensive and shaking off calls to take a timeout on hikes to focus on cooling the banking crisis.Hey Fed, I have an idea. Why don't you turn off your GD money printing presses! While we are on economics.......... The bigger bailout
A great deal of attention has focused on the bailout of SVB depositors, but the bigger story is the bailout of other banks. (At least bigger as of today, there are rumors the government may extend the over $250,000 deposit bailout to all banks. You can imagine what I think of that idea.) David Beckworth has a podcast where Steven Kelly discusses how the new Fed loan facility works. Here’s David: Beckworth: Daniela Gabor, she wrote something in a similar vein. She said, “Forget about SBV liabilities for a second. The real bailout story is the regime change in the Fed’s treatment of collateral. Par value goes against every risk management commandment of the past 30 years. It turbocharges the monetary power of collateral.” Kelly explains the problem by considering a situation where banks paid $90 for bonds with a par value of $100, and then the market value fell from $90 to $80: Kelly: So not only did they say, “Well, we’ll give you the 80 and we’ll calm things down. We’ll replace the 80 that you lost from uninsured depositors being flighty. Nor will we give you 90, which is what you’ve been carrying your books at, so you don’t have to recognize the loss of funding there. We’re going to give you 100, which can solve other problems on your books too.” So that’s super unique. And Daniela’s language is more dramatic than mine and more eloquent than mine, but that’s exactly the point she’s making. The Fed’s treating these bonds as $100 worth of collateral, despite the fact that the banks paid $90 and the market value is only $80.
Ford Motor Company to be honest?
Ford will begin reporting its financial results by business unit, instead of by region, and will release revised results that will show how the new business units would have performed in 2021 and 2022.
The changes amount to the most detailed look yet by any legacy automaker into the finances behind the EV business.
Wall Street is taking a wait-and-see approach to the changes, but is expecting significant EV unit losses.
I know we have currently employed and formerly employed LEOs here on The ONT. Maybe I'm wrong. But, if LEO are going to raid a home with a legally obtained warrant they must expect that they will be filmed. Cops are pissed off at Astroman. Hey they were on his property. Perhaps they should have worn balaclavas.
The Adams County Sheriff’s Office is suing Afroman for using video footage of their January raid on his home in his music video. Several deputies have sued the artist claiming he was profiting from the sale of merchandise that included their images, according to a source with direct knowledge of the matter. The lawsuit, obtained by The Daily Caller, indicates Afroman was not at his residence at the time of the raid, but his wife was inside the home and managed to record the police in action. Residential surveillance footage also recorded the raid as it unfolded. Members of Adams County Sheriff’s Office insist they didn’t provide consent for their images to be used or profited from.
Florida wants to cut through the red tape.
For a country supposedly built on the notion of pursuing the American Dream and pulling yourself up by your bootstraps, the United States makes it exceptionally hard to get a job. Over 30% of all workers in the US now need an occupational license—meaning they have to pay the government just for the privilege of going to work. Those fees can be hundreds to thousands of dollars each year, and that doesn’t even include what people must pay to jump through the training and education hoops that various licenses require.
I understand his frustration. But until Sharia law and limb amputation is implemented I don't see things improving in the retail world.

A man accused of stealing a funeral home van with a dead body inside has been arrested two months later. Deon Howard, 23, was taken into custody on Sunday after being identified as the wanted suspect during an argument with a police officer conducting a traffic stop. He was found in Green Bay, Wisconsin, which is about 200 miles north of Chicago where the crime took place.
It took its sweet time. But, love finds a way. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.
A couple who first tried to marry in 1963 but were separated when the bride's parents put a stop to the marriage have finally said their vows as they approach 80 years old after six decades apart. Len Allbrighton, 79 and Jeanette Steer, 78, were first engaged to be married in the Swinging Sixties after meeting as trainee nurses on the Isle of Wight and had planned to move to Australia to begin a new life together. But, at just 18 years old, Jeanette needed permission from her parents to marry Len, then 19. At the time, the age of consent to marry in the UK was 21.

He hasn't had any nutrition in three days, so they are installing a stomach tube tomorrow. They told us to expect this, and they think he will regain this function over time, but it's hard to watch him going through it.
I've heard the first three or four days are the worst after a big surgery like this. If so, then maybe things will start looking up again by the weekend.

I have told this story before, but in any event: My Grandfather was the nicest man I have ever known. Now he spent 22(?) years in the army. Fought in WWII and Korea, so there must have been another side of him. But not once when I knew him, did I EVER see him get angry. Grandma was the sharp temper. Grandpa was a still lake of calm. I asked Mom once if she had ever seen him really angry. She said only once that she could remember. A pair of Jehovah's witnesses had come to the door and Grandma had answered it. Now Grandma was an extremely intelligent woman and had a tongue like a razor. I am betting she played with them a bit before sending them on their way with a 'We're Catholic, so...' but evidently one of them shouted that she was going to Hell. Grandpa evidently was up like a shot, ran out to them and told them they had better leave quickly or they would be leaving feet first.
Everyone has their rock.

Sure - Epiphany marks the occasion of Catholics' tradition of “chalking the doors.” The formula for the ritual, adapted for 2022, take chalk and write the following above the door of the house: 22 + C + M + B + 22.
The letters have two meanings. They represent the initials of the Magi - Caspar, Malchior, and Balthazar. They also abbreviate the Latin phrase, Christus mansionem benedicat: “May Christ bless the house.” The “+” signs represent the cross, and the “22” at the beginning and the “22” at the end mark the year. Taken together, this inscription is performed as a request for Christ to bless the house.

Fairly or unfairly your reputation in this country is shit from the get go. Second, you served what seems like a bullshit warrant since you didn't turn up anything. Third, it also sounds like you stole some cash from his house. Seriously, someone should've advised them that they'd look like pathetic little bitches filing this suit, and that they have no right to privacy in the conduct of their official duties. And so, in conclusion, they need to collectively fuck off.

They're no suing for him filming, but because he is monetizing their images. For example, if I snap a picture of Meghan Markle walking down the street, I am legal whether she likes it or not. But, if I put her image on t-shirts and start selling them, she can sue.

I don't follow Brand all that closely but it's my understanding that he is/was affiliated with the circa 2005-2015 OWS era left. And I gotta give that crowd some credit where it's due, they turned out to be notably more consistent and philosophically grounded than the trendy but casually authoritarian left of the 90s or the totally batshit insane left of the post-gamergate age of woke. Watching them come to terms with the reality that their heroes were just using them has been interesting.

When I was growing up, Mormon tea was what we called a plant that grew wild. It was said that the Mormons brewed tea from the tender portions of the plant. Whether that is true or not, I do not know. But since we had Mormon ancestry, we accepted such legends as true.

Yes. This is to avoid taking a loss on paper. They're valuing the bonds (Ts and others) at par value. To do that, you're pretending that the banks will hold them to maturity at which time Uncle Sam will pay them off (provided Uncle Sam hasn't defaulted).
Only problem is, those bonds are on the asset side covering deposits. Big withdrawals require selling those bonds on the market, where they are worth far less than pan, since the Fed has hiked rates.
This is all to avoid a solvency crisis (which incidentally, can fuck the Fed's own balance sheet!)

So, the Fed is saying it will print all the money needed to cover the deposits.
Also, as was mentioned in the content, the banks are begging for the Treasury and FDIC to guarantee all deposits over $250K. Every thing. On paper, there are about $18T in total "deposits" in the banking system
Uncle Sam (and the Fed) are thus thinking about being on the hook for another $18T. The Fed will have to print that in the end if it came to it. That of course, would be the end of the US dollar.

I was never clear on which plant it was, so assumed it was more a generic term. Chicory should work since it is used in the south as an additive to coffee. Cafe du Monde has the very best chicory and coffee!

One thing I mentioned then is that he has a very particular manner of speech. Exact, but also tumbling over itself in a rush. One thing I did not think about is, it is extraordinarily difficult to get people to speak well when they are questioned. Then I realized, Tolkien was classically educated, probably more so than anyone who is reading this. Rhetoric would have been part of his education. Now he is not a great speaker as his pacing is.. awkward(?) but his ability to answer complex questions with such speed... He had a mind on him.

Since he sells himself as a master of manipulation and influence (and hypmotist), he looked punked after he was punked.
I think he's trying to take back some of the power taken from him after the fact with some retwisting of recent history.
It makes him the mover and others the moved, thus giving him agency in the whole affair. If true, a good move by him but not likely

Actually, they have started doing that. They actually have had a few calls on a liquidity crisis as inflation/recession fueled bond selling by foreign countries has created some interesting dollar needs within the system.
Oh, and nothing is supplanting the dollar as the global currency, to the extent the direction in which the world is moving economically will have a reserve currency at all. No other currency has the ability to float that much currency. The Euro is just a science fair construct, and the Yuan can't withstand staying out on its own, because whenever that happens a few trillion dollars of capital flees China until they shut it all down.

Most Asian markets locally carry it, because they are owned and run by Vietnamese.
A friend used to run a rations business for re-enactors and he bought a lot of it for German WWII re-enactors. The German coffee ration was a lot of chicory and some coffee.

Oh, and nothing is supplanting the dollar as the global currency, to the extent the direction in which the world is moving economically will have a reserve currency at all. No other currency has the ability to float that much currency. The Euro is just a science fair construct, and the Yuan can't withstand staying out on its own, because whenever that happens a few trillion dollars of capital flees China until they shut it all down.
Posted by: Black JEM at March 22, 2023 11:12 PM (UVyKP)
the final play is not to worry about the Dollar being the world's reserve currency. It is to eliminate cash and make all transactions digital and therefore, controllable.
"Sorry, you can't transact the purchase of a gun or ammo, or a fossil fueled car, because your FedGuv is protecting you from yourself."
That kind of shit.
That's the real play. And massive deficit spending is the only real way to do it organically, as the current system collapses upon itself and only Gubbermint and their 4 Horseman SuperBanks ride in and "save the day".

Which means it will either be direct clearance though agreements between banks in agreed on currencies, or Gold.
Central Bank Digital Currencies will only push back against collapse, not prevent it. The general rule is that the fiat currency to replace the failed fiat currency only collapses in turn because the monetary mis management still exists and is not fixed. The French Republic went to Assignat to Mandat to Gold when Napoleon took the Consolship, and Argentina went from Peso to Austral to Peso pegged to the dollar and Brazil regularly does that too
This will continue until fixed, and it will only be fixed when we are out of options

The prohibition is against "hot drinks", which has been interpreted for well over 100 years to mean coffee and tea. It doesn't mean hot chocolate or the like. Tea means actual caffeinated tea; herbal tea such as peppermint or chamomile is fine. Alcohol and tobacco is specifically forbidden, as is abusing drugs.
So thinks like Coke and Pepsi have never been forbidden; per se, but never encouraged either. And hat hasn't changed -- soda is not a good thing, all things considered. But no, we aren't going to be disciplined for having a coke.
If you get addicted to it, though, you might have issues. Which, I think, is (sorry MisHum!) one reason why coffee is on the no-no list. Too addicting. Ideally no one would need chemical stimulants to function.

But we aren't going to go around screaming everyone who drinks coffee is going to hell. For one thing, this is a clear dietary rule, which can and have changed over the years -- pork is fine now, but wasn't in Ye Olde Times. And yes, we are banned from Alcohol, but Christ will come at some point and drink the fruit of the vine with His people, so clearly that restriction will be eased too someday.
Part of it is making members of the church a "peculiar people" and part of it is making sure that people can sacrifice a small thing, so they can grow into sacrificing the bigger things that God demands.
If you cannot give up coffee, how are you going to give up sleeping around, for instance? Baby steps.

I know get it at the Vietnamese grocery stores, which still stock it despite the fact that they now have 1-3 varieties of imported V'mese coffee, which wasn't the case a while back. Not just Trung Nguyen, the first export brand.
Trung Nguyen was also the first national chain of coffee places in Vietnam. They varied a bit in layout and quality, but generally were very good. "Vietnam's Starbucks". Table service, usually. And the young ladies delivering the coffee were a major memorable part of the, um, "experience".

The revelation known as the Word of Wisdom was received in 1833, and prohibits "hot drinks." Joseph Smith and subsequent leaders have consistently interpreted the phrase to mean coffee and tea, and the emphasis has always been on the type of drink, not its temperature. For example, ice tea is out, but hot chocolate is just fine (and delicious).
It has always been taught that way, though there has been variation in the degree to which it has been "enforced" over the years.
Maybe 60 years ago, some leaders recommended against other drinks containing caffeine, in kind of a "spirit of the law" mindset. I was raised that way, and I still avoid colas and other drinks like that. But my cousins of the same age were not. To my knowledge that has never been officially taught or enforced the way the prohibition on coffee and tea has been.
And the comment above about Coke and stocks and timing is sheer nonsense -- but you probably already knew that.

Alvin Bragg is from Harlem, and grew up on Striver's Row. In an interview with The American Prospect, Bragg said that he had been "deeply affected by the criminal justice system – most directly through three gunpoint stops by the NYPD." He graduated from the Trinity School before attending Harvard College. He graduated from Harvard cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in government in 1995, and earned his Juris Doctor from Harvard Law School, where he was an editor of the Harvard Civil Rights–Civil Liberties Law Review.

Have tried both the bourbon and the rye. The bourbon is decent, but too low in proof (86.6) for me. The rye is very good and in my preferred proof level (100) but overpriced. Both use a secondary finishing process - bourbon finished in former port wine casks, Rye in former rum casks. That secondary finish can make or break a spirit. The rye is definitely improved in this case. Overall opinion for me -- I'd likely never buy a bottle myself, but I wouldn't turn down the rye if offered to me. I'd pay maybe $12 for a pour at a bar or restaurant.

He rode in on a motorcyle (wearing some kind of animal-skin fancy biking get-up). Didn't see what he was drinking. We were facing the fire, other end of the room (cool December day) and one in the group said "hey, that sounds a lot like Thorogood" when he started singing "One Scotch, One Whiskey ....".
It *was* him.

I don't know WHAT happens, and I'm afraid they don't either as they are all like the managers who think they can just WILL things into compliance with what they want. They simply don't have enough reliable force to make everyone comply. Covid shutdowns worked ONCE because they burned the general public belief to that point that elites wouldn't do something that drastic without a real need to, and media wouldn't lie that blatantly.

Hasten the time when the sun of righteousness shines into the depths of my heart. The moon casts her gentle rays. Guide me dear Jesus. Guide my steps through this gloomy path, that I may arrive safely in heaven.
The stars glisten in the sky. Teach me, dear Jesus. Teach me to discern truth amidst falsehood that even now I may see signs of your glory.

They are kind of boring. It only takes about a minute to tie them up in knots just by quoting the Book of James.
Mormons are more of a challenge. I have found that when I reveal that I know their "secret" ceremonies and where they came from, that's a bit off-putting to them. I also like asking them about the relationship between Jesus and Satan, and why only men get to rule on Planet Kobol when they die, and why women can't get their own planet.
I also ask them if they would like to learn about how to become a good Catholic so that they will have a chance to go to heaven instead.
That mostly means they won't come knocking any time soon. I'm always polite, but honestly....

Because now only their true believers and those who directly benefit take them at their word. To do it again they would have to roll the dice on having enough force to MAKE society comply .

Nice write-up. Raymond Loewy owned the design studio, that was contracted by Studebaker to design the 1953 models. But the design of the '53 coupes and hardtops was almost entirely the sole work of Robert Bourke, one of Loewy's employees. Bourke initially thought he was designing a dream car for the show circuit, and was flabbergasted when Studebaker gave the go ahead to build it for sale. Loewy does indeed deserve credit for selling the design to Studebaker's management.
I attended a Studebaker meet at which Bob Bourke gave a presentation. Very interesting, indeed.

I have a large ziploc bag of genuine Chicory I bought years ago. I assume it's really stale by now. I should try mixing some up with Coffee just to see if it is bad/good. 50/50 mix traditional?

I should try it, maybe, before pitching it. I probably bought it from Sweet Marias, along with a crapload of green coffee. Shipping has made this almost a wash.
I asked a local coffee shop about selling green beans. "Sure!" they said. No discount though. So much for that idea. I'm down to the last several pounds before the Unpleasantness and monetary Inflation hit. I don't want to look at what coffee costs.
A Mormon prohibition on coffee makes sense from one standpoint. It is an import, and comes from far away. If you've seen what a pound of cofee cost at the Wyoming fur trapper rendezvoux in 1836, you might want to avoid becoming addicted when possible. It is an expense that is, strictly speaking, not necessary. One might argue the point, but some people look at it that way. I always wondered about Welfare payments back in the day. Did they include Coffee? Was that "approved" for WIC or food stamps? Things get contentious when somebody else has to pay for it.

10% of the grounds in the filter should be chicory. That's the %age the coffee store I frequent uses when making 'New Orleans' roast. They measure a bit of espresso and some other coffee bean roasts, then add the roasted chicory.

I had a friend who told of an encounter with a particularly persistent pair of Witnesses. She finally agreed to pray with them, but only if they would pray with her first. When they agreed, she went back into the bedroom, and came out with a six foot rosary she kept by the bed. She said they looked at her, looked at the rosary, their eyes went wide, and the door did not open as they left.

There is a black Seventh Day Adventist college up the block from where i used to live. One morning a missionary all but called me racist for not wanting to listen to his spiel. Never mind that I was getting ready to go to work, and am quite happy practicing the faith of my ancestors.

These cops have got not a single leg to stand on.
If they are experiencing shame and derision for what they did, perhaps another line of work is in order.
If you're proud of what you're doing, you should never be afraid of the public being able to see it. If you want to keep it a secret, then you obviously aren't proud of what you're doing, and should rethink your career path.
