It is time to put this political persecution to an end. If I were Donald J. Trump, I would tell the State of Georgia, Fuck off and extradite me. I'm not showing up in Atlanta and I sure as hell won't give up my 1st Amendment Rights. Fuck off!
A state judge in Georgia on Monday issued an order that limited what former President Donald Trump can say on social media about his case. Fulton County Superior Judge Scott McAfee signed an order that bars Trump from contacting any of the 18 co-defendants in the case except through their attorneys. Also, the order “bans the former president from intimidating co-defendants or witnesses in the case, including through posts on social media,” The Hill reported.

'More than 1,500' artefacts were stolen from British Museum, internal investigation reportedly reveals
A Unesco antiquities trafficking expert says the theft is "probably the worst case so far" The total number of artefacts allegedly taken by curator Peter Higgs is thought to be “closer to 2,000”, a source told The Daily Telegraph. The total number of artefacts allegedly taken by curator Peter Higgs is thought to be “closer to 2,000”, a source told The Daily Telegraph. Photo: Chris Dorney The number of items allegedly taken from the British Museum’s collection by the senior curator Peter Higgs is thought to total more than 1,500 separate artefacts, according to an internal investigation conducted by the museum and reportedly seen by The Daily Telegraph. Higgs, the museum’s curator of Greek collections, Greek sculpture and the Hellenistic period, was last week named by The Daily Telegraph and The Times newspapers as the prime suspect behind the disappearance of a host of artefacts held in the museum’s collection, many of which he is alleged to have sold on eBay, often for a tiny percentile of their estimated value. One Roman object, dating back more than two millennia and valued at up to £50,000, was allegedly sold for £40 on the e-commerce site. Higgs is alleged to have removed items from the collection, without detection and for many years, with artefacts from the collection appearing on eBay as far back as 2016. The total number of artefacts allegedly taken by Higgs is thought to be “closer to 2,000”, a source told The Daily Telegraph. Higgs was dismissed earlier this year and has not as yet been arrested, although the Metropolitan police have confirmed they are investigating. Higgs's family has denied the allegations against him. The sheer number of artefacts taken from the museum’s collection will heap further pressure on a beleaguered senior leadership team, including Hartwig Fischer, the museum’s outgoing director.

Major Hollywood Studio Gives Employees Bad News, Brings Back Mask Mandate Major Hollywood movie studio Lionsgate brought back the mask mandate for nearly half of the company’s employees at its main office at 2700 Colorado Ave. in Santa Monica. The change was announced by Sommer McElroy, Response Manager for Lionsgate/Starz, in an email, to employees. The email said: “Employees must wear a medical grade face covering (surgical mask, KN95 or N95) when indoors except when alone in an office with the door closed, actively eating, actively drinking at their desk or workstation, or if they are the only individual present in a large open workspace.”

“I intend to sue the RNC to halt Wednesday’s presidential debate,” Elder wrote in a tweet. “I said from the beginning that it appeared the rules of the game were rigged, little did we know just how rigged it is.

Just as I had to fight to successfully be on the ballot in the California recall election, I will fight to be on that debate stage because I fully met all of the requirements to do so.”

Living at Casa Misanthrope has its benefits. One of those benefits is not being in a HOA. Do HOAs just make up shit as they go along or is this pretty much standard?
Homeowner devastated by HOA’s bizarre and restrictive new vehicle ban: ‘It’s my only way to work’ A homeowner shared their struggles with their HOA after it banned e-bikes and other forms of transportation. In a recent post on the r/HOA subreddit, a user explained the conflict that their HOA has created for their commute. “It’s my only way to work,” the user wrote in their caption.
On this day: August 22, 2011 - Jerry Leiber
Songwriter and producer Jerry Leiber died at his home in Los Angeles at the age of 78 from cardio-pulmonary failure.

This is the moment the first child is rescued from a cable car dangling 1,200 feet in the air in Pakistan. The child was one of seven children aged between 10 and 15 trapped inside the chair lift for more than 10 hours, which was dangling by just one wire after another snapped.
As Mamma Mis Hum would say, "I guess he won't be doing that again."
A teenager died Sunday in a wild crash after fleeing from police in Belchertown on Sunday night, according to authorities. Massachusetts State Police troopers tried to stop a car at 8:45 p.m. on Route 202, but the vehicle sped away, police said. The vehicle was being operated erratically and failed to stay within marked lanes, according to State Police spokesman David Procopio. The driver, a 19-year-old New Hampshire man, ran a red light at the intersection with Route 9 and crashed into a mulch bed and the car became airborne, police said.

I had mentioned my father in "rehab" at the nursing home. He had tested positive for Coof, along with several other patients in his "cottage" there, and they had instituted "quarantine" and various protocols. I was worried about that.
'Twarn't no need. It's all on paper, and nobody, I mean nobody was paying any attention to it. On paper, per protocol I was to check in at the front and have my temperature taken, slather with hand sanitizer and put on a mask.
Nope, they let me right in. Nobody, not one nurse, not one staffer, not one therapist, not one single soul, all patients included was wearing a mask.

To wit: We bought a car today. A new one. Even though I am/was firmly against that course but for reasons I won't go into, we pulled that trigger.
The car has not yet been built but, it is in the manufacturing pipeline and scheduled for built tomorrow. The color/trims/and optional equipment already selected by the manufacturer was what we were looking for so there you go. The chassis will hit the assembly line sometime tomorrow morning, be fully completed by mid-afternoon, tested by evening and on a car transport by Thursday with delivery scheduled to the dealer by Fri/Sat.
My undergrad was in Production and Operations Mgt. I understand how this shit works yet, I am just blown away that even a manufacturing behemoth can pull this off in today's world.

I had to do some big round of paperwork there as well. None of it was physical. It was all electronic on a tablet. They have me "e-signature" on file somehow.
The lady there had preselected a lot of options. One of those options she selected, without being asked, was "no shots". No inoculations unless explicitly authorized. That surprised me.
She said, well a lot of folks are doing that. She gets it. I said no "mRNA" or experimental stuff. She nodded vigorously.
That gives me hope. At least here, these folks know the score.

The union representing 340,000 UPS workers said Tuesday that its members voted to approve the tentative contract agreement reached last month, putting a final seal on contentious labor negotiations that threatened to disrupt package deliveries for millions of businesses and households nationwide.
The Teamsters said in a statement that 86% of the votes casts were in favor of ratifying the national contract. They also said it was passed by the highest vote for a contract in the history of the Teamsters at UPS.

I'm not sticking around much tonight, but is this the just-in-time system applied to an individual car purchase? That's crazy if so. It's neat that it can happen, but if we're moving to this (and I think we are, and, like the Ford CEO admitted recently with fixed prices and no haggling), it seems like it will bite consumers in the rear end before too long.

I think that's the point. Ford will sell the vehicle to the dealer, and the dealer will sell it to you. Don't want to pay the 12% markup? They'll call the next buyer. It won't take long to sell the car or truck, especially when none are on the lot.

It was linked in JJs thread, but both the TSA and the border patrol have already released the timeline for mandatory masking. IIRC it starts in September and will be forced in October. For something that doesn't exist.
Starting this early will give Secretaries of State time to set up mail in voting and other fraud schemes for the election, which is the point.

And I got to see the results of a cognitive function evaluation they did of my father. How to put this. Well on the Biden scale, he scored about 0.95 Bidens.
Seriously, they've put him in the severe cognitive impairment category. In precise medical terms, his mind is gone.
When I got there, he recognized me. But his attention span was nonexistent. Maybe 2 s. Of the past few days, he's put puttering around aimlessly in his wheel chair. They let him go. And I can see why.
He shuffles his feet around and goes in circles around the cottage.

They have a transmitter thingy on the wheelchair. They know where he is on a screen at all times. If he gets too close to where he shouldn't be, they just come and redirect him.
I figured that out myself. He started puttering toward one of the side doors. It's alarmed, and won't open without signal/code. I let him get close, then just grabbed the wheel chair and turned it in the opposite direction. He didn't really notice, and back down he puttered.

We went with a Camry. The market is funny around here - a new one is only incrementally more expensive than a excellent used one and the new ones have the factory warrantees and maintenance packages thrown in for 'free'. We did get ours at less than sticker - again, it's not like the old days but we were happy when we walked out.
I tried a new, to me, thing this time around. When I walked in and talked to the receptionist, I asked her to connect me with the salesman whom she would direct her mother to use. I mean, who knows if it helped me or not, but the buying experience was pretty good.
But yeah, the 4Runners? Fagetaboutit!!

I remember reading something amusing about admirals in the old days, pre WWII at least. Congress used to be very stingy about admirals. Didn't want too many of those demanding high salaries and thinkin they were all that.
So, they had a lot captains who really did the job of admirals, rear and that level. But since they were only Captains, they got pissed because their Royal Navy and other foreign counterparts wouldn't give them the proper respect/honors and all that.

Hell reading a bit, the rank of admiral has a funny, interesting history.
Congress originally didn't want to create any admirals at all. Captain was the highest naval rank. the *title* (not rank) of commodore became sort of a status symbol.
Eventually Congress created the rank of "Flag Officer". And then after the Civil War, the first admirals were created.

Exactly. Everyone who needs to know who I am already knows.
I've noticed that there's a bunch of energy expended to keep track of decent people but no efforts to curtail scammers and rioters and thieves. I think they should be worrying about the identity of the people who are exploiting and harassing the rest of us.

These "cottages" are nice. They have a kitchen in each cottage. They prepare the food right there in each "cottage". They think this gives a "homey" environment. You know, smelling food cooking and all that.
Anyway, when I first got there, I wheeled Daddy back into his room, to close the door where I could set up so my mother could talk to him over the speakerphone.
His attention just wouldn't stay with me. He had to get out and putter. Finally, I just grabbed the wheelchair and held him until I got my mother. That got his attention for a little more, but it was a comedy of mishearing, with my hollering in his ear, and hollering in the phone, repeating what each said to the other.
Once we hung up, he immediately putters to the door. I watch. He manages to get the door open, and reverse himself and finally get through the opening. On the way out, he noticed his cap on the dresser, and picked that up and put it on. He was going out.
And round in circles we would go.

There is a lot of stuff to bitch about re: Ukraine, but if you want to be taken seriously then anything from MacGregor is not a good place to start if you don't want to look like an idiot.
The catalog of his video titles going back the last year and a half pretty much speaks for itself.
Not sure if he's genuinely shilling for the Russians, or just Pied-Pipering gullible conservatives on behalf of domestic leftists - since the latter is one of the rather well-planned benefits of this whole prog war project. The Western progs wanted this war, because they're evil; China wanted this war, because they're shrewd; and Russia wanted it because they're fucking retarded. Pretty much the only ones who didn't want it was Eastern Europe and Ukraine.
So now the US, as directed by the Biden admin, who is by far the largest source of aid to Ukraine, drags their feet as much as they feel they can without it being too obvious because they want to drag this out as long as possible - while China somewhat similarly leaves Russia hanging, because they'd love to see either a Russian breakup or a military black eye for the West.

As a Corpsman, I had the honor of being assigned to none other than Julia Nimitz. Not once, but twice during her annual "Check-ups" which always brought in a train load of Navy Brass up to visit her. She liked me because I did not get flustered with all the Gold
Bars around and I had a calm demeanor and I loved her stories from the day's of "Tea at the White House" and other such ventures. A fine woman to her ending days and she truly missed the Admiral. I would only learn about his role in the WWII Pacific Campaign years later.

I had a manager come by with some document and try to give it to me.
I asked if there was a PDF of the doc and she said yes.
I pointed to the 5 high cabinet and told her it was completely empty because if the doc is in the system I don't need a hard copy.
She was shocked; but, I didn't get any more hard copies from her so it was a win.

Missed a Doctor appointment I feel could have saved his life. Basically locked him inside for 4 days. I blew a gasket. I have no idea why my mom went ahead and did it.

- the fungus that "covers the entire town," actually only appears on a few nearby surfaces. News stories never tell you that.
- Most complaints are probably about ordinary fungus that grows on everything. Look around any town in the region and there are old surfaces with black coating.
- It is also harmless, but NIMBY and sensationalist press gotta do their thing.

Let's take a field where I have some experience - medical records.
Oh, you might say - electronic medrecs have changed everything. But no. In my line of work (workers comp) we gathered medical records for independent medical exams. The insurance companies gathered up records and copied even copies of records and scanned ev'rythang just to make sure they had it all.
We would print them out and sort through them and toss tens of thousands of pages (actually pay to shred them) and tab them so the docs could review them quickly (doctors will not read hundreds of pages of e-records, you know). Then pay to ship them to the doctors offices.

Short of utter and complete cremation, a 200 lb. male fire victim in a total residential flash-over, burn to the ground conflagration, might appear to the untrained eye, as a scorched, hairless, 40 lb. pet.
A 90 lb. child, maybe a scorched, blackened, 20 lb. Westie.
There' going to be a LOT of gruesome. And MANY, already seen, who get seen AGAIN, and finally the sifters will realize, "that was Human", and not a pet.
A whole lot of the "missing", were already passed by, needing but yet to be SEEN, by the searchers.

According to the nurses there, Daddy is not in distress. He's not agitated, not upset. Just let hum putter around like that, and he's okay.
Eating. Up until the last he always had a good appetite. He'd eat a bait of what you put on his plate. With the latest episode of severe diverticulitis (and UTI) which led to him falling and off to the hospital, and now this, that appetite had declined.
Nurses say now sometimes he'll eat big, clean up his plate, but sometimes he won't eat much. But, on the bright side, he's getting constant exercise, such as it is, puttering around, using his feet to move himself in the wheelchair.

A man is not a full man as long as his father is alive.
The full burden only hits when the son becomes the Man in the Family.

Dig through the alarmism and you'll find that in the US, BA.2.86 was found in one asymptomatic person and one guy with a very mild illness.
And while EG.5 is the dominant strain in the US right now and doctors are seeing more patients with Covid, their symptoms are milder than at any previous point in the pandemic.
Which tells me that what's out there is even less nasty than Omicron was.
So if anyone tells you to mask up, tell them to fuck off.

A Chicago woman was arrested on Monday on charges of emailing threats to shoot Donald Trump and his youngest son Barron Trump, the US attorney’s office in the Illinois city said.
A formal complaint was filed against Tracy Marie Fiorenza, 41, earlier this month in the US district court for the southern district of Florida.
“I will state that I will shoot Donald Trump Sr AND Barron Trump straight in the face at any opportunity I get!” Fiorenza allegedly wrote in an email in May, according to the complaint.
The email was sent to the unidentified head of an educational institution in Palm Beach county, southern Florida, where Trump has his primary residence, the Mar-a-Lago resort, club and residence complex in Palm Beach.
