The Morning Report — 1/19/24

ventanilgoldman.jpg

Good morning, kids. My moods and gut instincts about next November are for sure ephemeral but one thing is for sure. It's going to be lit. 11 months is both an eternity and just around the corner in electoral politics. But as of this moment, Biden or no Biden, and I think Trump or no Trump, there is no way the Democrats are going to win given the situation on the ground. When I say Trump or no Trump, the second part of that means his imprisonment or otherwise punishment via process of multiple kangaroo courts.

The past three years have been so utterly catastrophic in terms of our economy, foreign policy, degeneracy via social/cultural issues, explosion of raw Democrat-centered Jew-hatred, and most of all, the straw that breaks the camel's back the intentional erasure of our border and how that has exacerbated all of the aforementioned.

Let us count the ways. First, this nugget:

As the press and its political allies dismiss opposition to open borders and its inherent 'replacement theory' as little more than 'white supremacy,' something different is happening out in America's inner cities.

Charlamagne Tha G0d (the name he goes by) hosts the nation's top radio program with black audiences, and far from hearing white supremacy talk regarding the border issue, is hearing black voices that have had it up to here with open borders.

"Like, I honestly have never spoken to as many people who are concerned about the migrant issue as I have, you know, over the past year. And, I mean, I've heard everything from, you know, the gang MS13 overrunning neighborhoods . . . what we saw just happened in New York City, where the migrants—they took 2,000 migrants and put them in the school and made the school stay home—made the students stay home and do school via Zoom. And that was a big issue. Like, I mean, people were calling the radio station—that was just this week, you know, really, really, really complaining about that. So I've never seen working-class people who I interact with every day until this past year really, really, really expressed their frustration for the migrants," he continued.

And this, regarding the standing narrative that only Republicans oppose illegal immigration and it was for racist reasons. The radio host referred to the "stunt" of border state governors transferring illegal migrants to sanctuary cities as their mayors and governors screamed, which, he noted, was an "effective" tactic:

"Clearly it was effective because it made a lot of those Democrats start singing a different tune. And, I mean, the voters see that. The voters see that," Charlamagne said. "So what does that look like to the voter? Just on the surface, just on the surface, it looks like Republicans were right about the issue and Democrats got it wrong. And now a lot of Democrats are starting to sound like the Republicans sounded. So it makes a lot of people say, ‘Well, damn, Republicans were actually right on that issue.’ Just on the surface, just plain on the surface, that's how it looks, you know, to the average voter."

The hard reality is that migrants with little education and few skills are most likely to move into neighborhoods of the poorest people, who are black, and bring crime and gangs with them. They also displace black citizens from jobs, by being willing to work for less, making the lot of black people that much harder. The black people see this from the sharp end much more so than the Martha's Vineyard crowd, and as Charlamagne reports, they want something done about it.

The cynic in me would think that the only reason blacks are up in arms is that they see a threat to their governmental welfare state gravy train being taken from them and given to the illegals. Yet, even someone like this Charlamagne character is objecting along lines that are much more in line with middle class attitudes, at least from these snippets.

From the Democrat-Leftist perspective, they are indeed replacing blacks as their new majority bloc because their polices since LBJ have decimated their ranks via abortion and the effects of family dissolution (imprisonment and an early grave) that is leading to their ultimate extinction. To be brutally honest, the Democrats have committed a slow motion genocide against American blacks. Maybe one day soon, Charlamagne Tha G0d and those of his ilk will connect the dots, but by then it might be too late.

Then there's this aspect:

The protest was a display of the failures of the Obama/Biden administration’s immigration policies — policies that have opened our doors to virulently antisemitic immigrants from the Islamic world who have no intention of embracing our freedoms, but instead insist that Americans embrace Islam.

On the March for Gaza website was a list of endorsing organizations, including the Israel/Palestine Network of the Presbyterian Church (PCUSA), along with a litany of radical Marxist and Islamic Organizations.  In less than an hour, I saw protesters screaming for the annihilation of Israel, other protesters calling for revolution to overthrow the Israeli government for defending their people.  Yet in the midst of all that hatred, not once did I hear anyone say “free the hostages, or “overthrow Hamas.”  The question that lingered in my mind was, “Why would a mainline Christian denomination actively support Marxist and antisemitic organizations that call for genocide and the destruction of our capitalist society?”  The red-green alliance between Western Leftists and Middle Eastern Islamists is alive and well.  

The next morning, I read that, the night before, White House staff had to be moved after pro-Palestinian rioters damaged anti-scale fencing and hurled objects at the police.  This comes just two months after rioters vandalized the White House fence and spraypainted graffiti reading, “Death to Israel” and “Glory to our martyrs” on buildings near the Israeli Embassy.  Yet never once has anyone in the administration said a word about “insurrection.”

While malignancies such as Dearborn and Minneapolis are evident, myriad smaller towns and burgs all over the US are, if not stopped, going to turn at first into no-go zones that are controlled by Sharia police and then sooner or later capture the nation. More or less without firing a shot. By the way, much of the problem didn't begin with Biden. It began with George W. Bush who, after 9/11/01 opened the floodgates for the mass infection of Muslim immigration. Biden just exacerbated it by erasing our borders so that untold hundreds or even thousands of military age males from Islamic countries have entered. Multiply the Boston Marathon bombing by that number and you've got yourself a situation.

But don't worry, sez Democrat Congress-stooge Lou Correa:

Well, think about what’s going on around the world right now. We have two wars. We have fentanyl [on] our doorstep everywhere on Main Street across the country. We have challenges of fentanyl, sad, tragic deaths, parents mourning. And then, of course, we have a worldwide refugee challenge. So, naturally, we want to find out why this is happening. But Alejandro Mayorkas is not the reason. Alejandro’s doing his job. If you think about those two world wars going on in the Middle East and in Europe…what you’re not talking about is the fact that we haven’t had a terrorist attack, thank God, on our soil, the fact that we’ve essentially minimized any attack — cyberattacks on our society. So, Mayorkas is doing a good job."

Thanks for that reassurance that we haven't had a terrorist attack – YET. I'm sure this planarian will crawl under a rock never to be seen when a dirty bomb goes off somewhere, or a Queer for "Palestine" goes really really queer in the head and shoots up a synagogue, or blows up a car bomb in Times Square. Meh, he'll be the first in front of the camera's to blame America, Trump and the culture of Islamophobia. Or the Mossad.

Speaking of Queer Terrorists, we dodged another bullet. Let's see how long it takes for the FBI to turn this creature into a MAGA white supremacist. I guess we should cut them some slack for refusing to cooperate on yet another laptop, Seth Rich's. But I digress.

In a not unrelated incident, in the desperate attempt to shield Mayorkas, Biden and the entire Democrat Party from their treasonous action of destroying our borders (I unequivocally and absolutely mean that word and its ramifications in no uncertain terms), Dan Goldman, scumbag supreme literally berated a woman who's daughter died from a fentanyl overdose for daring to blame Alejandro Mayorkas, essentially equating her to a Republican shill. Blood is boiling now.

Josephine Dunn lost her daughter Ashley to fentanyl at the age of 26 and testified before Congress at a hearing titled “Voices for the Victims: The Heartbreaking Reality of the Mayorkas Border Crisis.” Goldman told her that she was being “used” and was not qualified to be a witness before going back and forth about the border.

“I want to apologize in some ways to you that you are here, really to share your story, but being used as a fact witness for an impeachment investigation,” Goldman told Dunn and another mother who lost her daughter to border-related issues. “And obviously given what your experience has been, you don’t have the background to understand what a high crime and misdemeanor is and how it relates to this. So I hope that you’re handling that okay.”

“You would agree, would you not, that it would help to stop the fentanyl trade and fentanyl trafficking from coming into this country if we had more law enforcement officers at the border and more resources and technology to stop the fentanyl from coming in?” he asked Dunn. “Do you agree with that?”

“I disagree with that, because border patrol is now being used to make sandwiches and to screen people and let them into our country, so I disagree with you,” Dunn responded. “I would like the border patrol to be able to do the job that they were hired to do. Every border patrol officer that I have spoken to has told me that their hands are tied by this administration and mister Mayorkas. I’ve been to the border, sir, have you?”

Goldman did not answer the question.

“Excuse me, I’m asking the questions,” he retorted.

There really isn't a flaming sack of horse manure large, putrid and scorching enough to shove down this bastard's throat. Crime, terrorism, the waste of hundreds of billons of dollars, societal dissolution and every other problem down the line intersects, at least in some way, with the fact the we have no borders and no immigration control. And that has been completely intentional as I have stated over and over again.

We see it, and now so many others see it across perhaps the broadest spectrum of the political, ethnic and socio-economic landscape of the nation. A nation disappearing by the day. As I stated at the top, this above all else is going to destroy the Democrats come November, election rigging or not. Oh, they will be trying to steal it yet again for sure. But this time around, it will have to be so massive and in your face a cheat that everyone will see it. And those who voted, or whose ballots went to Biden one way or another four years ago, are going to be pissed because this time around, it's their election, either in voting Trump or staying home in protest of Biden, that will have been stolen.

The only thing they have left to run on is abortion. And I don't think even this go-round, it's going to trump - heh - the disaster of the open border and Bidenomics. After that, all they can hope for is to trump Trump. Prepare for what's left of your head after Goldman to explode:

[Eric the "Red"] Holder said, “Even with this Supreme Court, with this ultra conservative super majority, there’s not a basis for finding in favor of the assertions he is making. You know, the court’s legitimacy is at stake here in a way that I think really goes to the way in which it will be viewed, that body will be viewed by the American people.”

“To rule for the Trump camp, to say there’s any basis to those five assertions that he has made really puts at risk how the court will be viewed by the American public. There is again no constitutional basis for it, no historical precedent for it. That is not the way in which our nation has been formed or for which the American Revolution was actually conducted. I think that anybody who lines up in support of that really puts at risk our democracy and really puts at risk the notion that we are one person, one vote, that the people decide things, that no one is above the law. puts at risk the whole notion of the rule of law.”

I cannot predict what will happen if Donald Trump is indeed railroaded at least off the ballots and at most imprisoned in the Garland Archipelago. As bad as things are, ordinary, decent real Americans still do not face enough of an existential threat in their daily lives to actually revolt, peacefully or otherwise. At least not yet.

If SCOTUS actually does the right thing and throw these insane charges out, for sure the BLM/Antifa cadres – now "fortified" with hundreds or thousands of military age Muslim males! – are going to react, either at the behest of or independently from Holder's buddies in Kalorama and elsewhere.

See you tomorrow on the hobby thread. Have a good weekend.

Does the concept of self-identifying apply to everything except Extreme MAGA?

Does the government get to label that group? I’ve never met anyone self-identifying as extreme MAGA.

I mean, I could suck a thousand cocks and identify as a heterosexual tree and they’d make space for me on government forms. But Biden gets to decide if I’m extreme MAGA

Eithan Haim, Whistleblower Exposed Texas Children’s Hospital For ‘Lying To The Public’ Regarding Gender-Affirming Surgeries

Last spring, I published a whistleblower report on the secret sex-change program at Texas Children’s Hospital. (part of the Texas Medical Center, the largest and most presteigous medical center in the world and home of the idiot *Dr. Hotez pusher of fake medicine from the TMC's Baylor Medical) The hospital had promised to stop such procedures, which included the administration of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones—but in fact, it continued to perform transgender medical interventions on children as young as 11.

Radio guy. He's not going Republican - from yesterday:
The Breakfast Club host spoke with Fox News Digital this week about his numerous criticisms of Biden. While Charlamagne regularly argues that Biden is a weak president and should be replaced as the Democratic nominee, he has also been consistent in calling Trump a “fascist” and a threat to American democracy who is unfit to be president again.

Charlamagne scoffed at First Lady Jill Biden’s efforts to defend her husband from concerns about his age, but conceded she doesn’t really have any other option. Still, he said, “I don’t see that vigor.”. . .

This is barely comprehensible as text. I get it through the context of the quote, but I hope that his natural speaking and cadence makes it clear when listening because otherwise this must be pretty flummoxing.

But this is an undercurrent that has been noted for years, often with bemusement, by those who favor border control. The open border destroys the "working class" and those make through their living through comparatively low-wage work. They're the ones being directly replaced by illegal aliens.

Basically working poor whites and blacks. And since there are proportionally more poor working blacks than whites, the blacks are hurt much more. All courtesy of the party of labor and minorities. Eventually, someone had to figure it out.

55 The next morning, I read that, the night before, White House staff had to be moved after pro-Palestinian rioters damaged anti-scale fencing and hurled objects at the police. This comes just two months after rioters vandalized the White House fence and spraypainted graffiti reading, “Death to Israel” and “Glory to our martyrs” on buildings near the Israeli Embassy. Yet never once has anyone in the administration said a word about “insurrection.”
++++
Nor did the press provide wild-eyed real-time "coverage" of it.
Nor did the pundits call Biden and his staff pussies for being moved to more secure quarters.

It's not like this is the first rodeo.

58 >>There are $150 MILLION in unpaid medical bills at the main public hospital in Denver racked up by illegals.

This was for about 50k visit. So lets take a population of 10 Million new illegals.

So multiply this 200 and we see this is a $30,000,000,000 annually issue.

63 But this is an undercurrent that has been noted for years, often with bemusement, by those who favor border control. The open border destroys the "working class" and those make through their living through comparatively low-wage work. They're the ones being directly replaced by illegal aliens.

Basically working poor whites and blacks. And since there are proportionally more poor working blacks than whites, the blacks are hurt much more. All courtesy of the party of labor and minorities. Eventually, someone had to figure it out.

65 Well, think about what’s going on around the world right now. We have two wars. We have fentanyl [on] our doorstep everywhere on Main Street across the country. We have challenges of fentanyl, sad, tragic deaths, parents mourning. And then, of course, we have a worldwide refugee challenge. So, naturally, we want to find out why this is happening. But Alejandro Mayorkas is not the reason. Alejandro’s doing his job.
++++
Is it Mayorkas' fault? In what sense? In terms of root causes, no. In terms of proximal causes, he shares a fair amount of the culpability.

This dumbass actually gets some things right. There *is* an opiod crisis (Fentanyl being the loudest contributor). There *is* a migration crisis (not refugee, but colonial). But he is unwilling or unable to acknowledge the root causes of it, or even the mid-stream causes.

Where's his clear-eyed assessment of the open border on both? Where's his sophisticated take on the effects of trade policy on both?

If you were to tell me that many of our "leaders" were actually AIs, I wouldn't be surprised.

66 For the last 4 days Biden and Blinken have been running an international media campaign to try to get Israelis to force Netanyahu to Resign for saying there will be no Palestinian State while he is in office. What's driving this has little to do with Israel, but rather is driven by Team Biden's increasing panic about their falling poll numbers.
Blinken has said recently that he wants Israel to cease fire and negotiate with Hamas, and even to allow them back into a new Palestinian government.

Also vandalized Lincoln memorial steps and other statues w/red paint on the same day they occupied the Capitol - both of which got little coverage. Which time? Right, because they've done it twice since October 7th. It was the 12/21/23 protest, not the 10/18/23 protest.

On Tuesday: Dozens of protesters descended on the Cannon House Office Building on Tuesday chanting "ceasefire now" and "let Gaza live" as they demonstrated against the ongoing war in the Middle East.

Capitol Police could be seen arresting participants in the protests, and a department statement later said approximately 130 people were arrested for illegally protesting inside Cannon.

_______________

As J.J. noted, the blacks are noticing what's going on too. Months ago, in (IIRC) Chicago the MSM show brief clips of a number of blacks complaining about the illegals that were being dumped there. Not that it was "racist" or some sort of "right wing conspiracy" but that it was a problem for them. Other clips followed. You don't see any now.

I'm sure the sentiment among the black communities and ghettos has only intensified. And the bitching coming from local governments in the blue shit holes the illegals are being dumped in is primarily due to this outrage from the black communities, but it's also an attempt to grift more money from FedGov. Not to resolve issues between the blacks and the browns, but to line the pockets of those having to deal with it.

Being thrown out of the "free shit" line by the illegals has enraged the blacks. Things will get spicy.

The plane immediately circled back and landed at the Miami International Airport. The flight was en route to San Juan, Puerto Rico. At this time, no injuries have been reported.

#UPDATE: The Atlas Air Boeing 747-8 is a cargo jet no passengers or flight attendants were on board when the incident occurred only the pilots.

747 cargo craft bursts into flame? Unusual to say the least. The 747 is pretty damn solid.

Without having the seen the video and going only with initial gut-check, I'll lay a long-odds wager right now that the fire was due to the cargo, and that the cargo was probably a lithium battery.

They're coming here illegally and violating our borders. Their first act on American soil is criminal, and they erode our civil society by continuing their criminal activity, whether that criminal activity is as "minor" as taking a job from an American or consuming US taxpayer resources, or as major as rape, murder or terrorism.

173 Anything to save our precious democracy!

Mr. Littlejohn had access to “vast amounts of unmasked taxpayer data” when he worked for Booz Allen, a consulting firm working with public and private clients mostly on IRS contracts, between 2008 and 2013.

After President Trump took office in 2017, Mr. Littlejohn sought to return to work for Booz Allen “with the intention of accessing and disclosing” the tax returns of the president, whom he viewed as “dangerous and a threat to democracy,” according to prosecutors.

Mr. Littlejohn “weaponized his access to unmasked taxpayer data to further his own personal, political agenda, believing that he was above the law,” prosecutors said.

This went on for more than two years, with multiple news organizations receiving unlawfully leaked private tax returns and other private financial information.

Prosecutors did not name the news organizations that received the stolen tax returns in court records, but ProPublica and The New York Times published multiple articles reporting on the leaked documents.

185 One thing is gonna be interesting when the regime brings a million or two of the Arab world's most dirty, lazy, violent & fanatical human flotsam here.

The future American caliphate has its beachhead in one of the country's biggest black communities. That has implications. Arabs hate blacks just a *little* less than they hate Jews. But it's just a skinch. And Arabs view abuse of Western cradle-to-grave welfare states as a religious duty.

They will take over a large chunk of that black community, soak up all of Michigan's welfare dollars, start forcing blacks out of their boroughs, attacking them physically, and so on.

But they will not have political cover from the Party for this. No regime politicians will clamor for them to kill black babies like they do with Jews. The police will not provide protection for their attacks on black people. And black people will not meekly whine and write scathing letters about their persecution like Jews. They'll stand up for themselves.

It's gonna be lit AF, as the kids say.

Insider Paper @TheInsiderPaper 1h
NEW: US spaceship lost over South Pacific following failed Moon mission
A crippled American spaceship has been lost over a remote region of the South Pacific, probably burning up in the atmosphere in a fiery end to its failed mission to land on the Moon.

Astrobotic’s Peregrine lander was launched on January 8 under an experimental new partnership between NASA and private industry intended to reduce costs for American taxpayers and seed a lunar economy.

But it experienced an explosion shortly after separating from its rocket and had been leaking fuel, damaging its outer shell as well as making it impossible to reach its destination.

In its latest update, Astrobotic posted on X that it had lost contact with its spacecraft shortly before 2100 GMT Thursday, mid-morning on Friday in the local time zone, indicating a “controlled re-entry over open water” as it had predicted.

I predicted that tech layoffs were going to accelerate last year.

They did, but I don't get the point on my scoreboard because the numbers weren't anything like what I expected, nor were they at the huge names that I was waiting for.

But this is a big development if it continues, because the big names - the ones with lots of maneuvering room - are getting in on the action now, too.

There is going to be enormous Party pressure on the big names to *not* do this in an election year, but I suspect we're going to start seeing more layoffs anyway (smaller than the companies would probably like, but nonetheless happening), especially in Big Bank and Big Tech.

Congrats, JJ!!! On the Taki gig. They've got an international reach. You're goin' mobile, bro!

I think CtG is less in the middle than you think if you look at his words.

He's very careful to say "migrant" instead of "illegal alien" or "undocumented foreigner" or "criminal trespasser" whatever to convey the real situation.

Also, he's very careful to use progtard's favorite criticism that their unhappiness with the Black experience of illegal border runners. That this criticism is "whitethink" and most of all "surface" or "shallow".

See, if Blacks actually looked deeper at the situation of migrant with the falling numbers of Neon Tetra in the Alleghany River, why then they would understand that this is all okay. Everything is fine.

Anyway, Blackss as a group seem to fail to understand that despite all the talk about replacing whites, the real group that's being set-up for sidelining and replacement, right after they act as the spear tip of the revolution, is themselves.

207 How is vaping a potential death sentence? Are the drug pushers lacing nicotine vape with fentanyl?
--

Random grab. Your sheriff or police department could tell you more if you call them, but you might not want to know.

"In an attempt to appeal to unsuspecting users, illegal drug manufacturers have been incorporating fentanyl into vape cartridges, which are then sold as seemingly harmless e-cigarettes. This deadly combination has created a new avenue for fentanyl consumption, catching many users off guard."

http://tinyurl.com/3ntr6kt8

We're at war with China. I suspect this is part of it.

Vape cartridges (or whatever they're called) aren't cheap. Finding a deal would be appealing to many. Finding an interesting flavor would, too.

Our society has reached the point where kids can't even risk the harmless experimentation that allows them to recognize their stupidity and become better adults.

212 >>They knew the risks, they bought the fentanyl. I say, let 'em overdose.


From what I understand, it's not that people are taking fentanyl explicitly, it's that every illegal drug out there - from weed to Adderall, whatever they might get from a dealer - is laced with fentanyl. A lot of ODs have happened because they get something that has had too much fentanyl added to it, or they mix drugs (smoke pot + another drug) and the combined fentanyl of the mix kills them, That's what happened with that The Wire actor.

Not endorsing taking *any* drug from a dealer, but a lot of the ODs are not happening with hardcore druggies addicted to fentanyl. In CO they're now saying that over 6 in 10 street drugs contain fentanyl. There are reports of kids who get what they think is a prescription drug from a friend (stressed? here take one of my anxiety meds) and they die. This is way, way bigger than homeless druggies addicted to fentanyl take too much by mistake, the cartels, etc. are lacing every dang thing with it and Biden won't do ANYTHING to stop this. China's opium war on us.

Although don't know how prevalent, there are young kids buying what they think are simple amphetamines like Adderall -- in order to stay awake and cram for school tests and the like -- who've died because they were laced with fentanyl (it's happened a couple of times in my small town).

Our State Rep here in AZ, Quang H. Nguyen (great anti-commie former boat person as a young boy from Vietnam) has introduced bills in each of the past three sessions to provide much harsher penalties to fentanyl drug dealers and -- despite have a small R majority in both houses -- they fail.

JUST IN - China urges end of ‘harassment’ of vessels in Red Sea

China called for an end to “harassment” of civilian vessels in the Red Sea on Friday after attacks on ships by Huthi rebels in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.

Huthi aggression against vessels in and around the Red Sea has led to retaliatory strikes in Yemen by US and British forces.

Some shipping firms are avoiding the crucial trade artery, causing delays along international trade routes.

And Beijing on Friday emphasised the area was an “important international trade route for goods and energy”.

“We call for an end to the harassment of civilian vessels, in order to maintain the smooth flow of global production and supply chains and the international trade order,” foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said.

In an interview published Friday, a senior Huthi official promised safe passage for Russian and Chinese vessels through the Red Sea.

That is good news since the Dems need at least 94% of blacks to vote Biden. Anything less than that percentile is an existential threat to the win or the cheat to win.

I got it from the pollsters who have been posting th stats on Twitter for days.

Yes, he did win all demographics including young voters.

Ron is down to 5% in NH. He is laying off campaign staff and moving people to SC ahead of the NH primary. This race was over long before it started.

271 There are far, far more pursuadable working class voters than suburban and educated women.

I'd say a 5% increase in working class (who hardly vote) is worth 100% of the GOPe target audience.

And that's what made DeSantis fail-- sure he's not GOPe. But his message never targeted the working class.
Trump policy without Trump flaws offers nothing to them. It appeals to Karen Winebox. And she's going to turn to CNN to decide who to vote for; not the candidate's pitch.

Trump, once again, is left alone in the field of candidates as the only one talking about the issues they care about.

If you've never been exposed to it, H.L. Mencken summed up the entire Civil War in his observation on the Gettysburg Address:

"But let us not forget that it is poetry, not logic; beauty, not sense. Think of the argument in it. Put it into the cold words of everyday. The doctrine is simply this: that the Union soldiers who died at Gettysburg sacrificed their lives to the cause of self-determination – that government of the people, by the people, for the people, should not perish from the earth. It is difficult to imagine anything more untrue. The Union soldiers in the battle actually fought against self-determination; it was the Confederates who fought for the right of their people to govern themselves."

275 I know a few talented engineers that went to work for Space X all within the last decade. They left pretty fast…. Musk burns out his engineers demanding very long work weeks (think 60-70 hours). It’s a young man’s game over at Space X…. If you’re young and energetic with no family you’ll like it. But if you’re a middle aged guy with a family it’s not for you even if you’re Uber-talented

I'd read that about Space X. It's not unlike the model used by big law and the top-flight consulting firms. They bring in people from the best universities, and work them mercilessly for a few years, whereupon they leave, and the companies bring in the next batch. It seems like it shouldn't work, but those companies seem to make it work for them.

He won Iowa. Good get only 19 % to show up ? Ron as an unknown quantity and still got a few votes. And that after a few hundred million, or whatever poured into Iowa by Trump to knock off 2 people of his own party.

307 >>Don't do drugs, kids. Been a known thing for more than a few days now.


Completely agree. Wish kids today weren't so comfortable taking prescription drugs that doctors now give them for every little thing - the amount of prescription/non-recreation drugs Americans are taking, including kids, is staggering. So the current culture has normalized the idea that you can escape any little thing - a touch of sadness, a lack of concentration, an unplanned, unprotected hookup - with a little pill. This is totally OK, everyone is doing it! Hey, we've even legalized weed and in some cases, mushrooms. All cool you guyz!

But, at the same time, it's: oh, you bought a pill from a dealer because it was easier (or the pharmacy's closed, whatever) and it was laced with fentanyl? Stupid person, don't do drugs!! Mixed signals much?!

Add to it all of the drug shortages nowadays (Adderall shortages since covid shutdowns) because we've off-shored the manufacturing to China and India + China upping supply of fentanyl and it's something bigger/messier than "hey, don't take that pill, kid!"

>NYT, Jan.17: Goldman Files Censure Against Stefanik for Calling Jan. 6 Defendants ‘Hostages’ The resolution accuses the No. 4 House Republican of helping to peddle the voter fraud conspiracy theories that fueled the Jan. 6, 2021, attack at the Capitol.

In part, "Democrats have widely condemned her use of the word “hostages” to refer to hundreds of individuals who were found guilty of crimes related to the assault on the Capitol.
Representative Hakeem Jeffries of New York, the minority leader, said that Ms. Stefanik “should be ashamed of herself.” Representative Jamie Raskin, Democrat of Maryland, who served as a member of the House panel that investigated the Jan. 6 attack, speculated on social media that she did so because she was auditioning to be Mr. Trump's running mate."

Goldman, Jeffries, Raskin, but the f*cking nerve of the whole lot of them.

Axios, Flashback: Shortly after taking office, President Biden removed the Trump administration's designation of the Houthi rebels as terrorists, arguing it hampered humanitarian assistance to people in Yemen.

Now that they are in competition with their replacement "favored minority", they are naturally going to display a certain level of angst and outrage.
