A Chinese scientist posted the entire genetic sequence of the coronvirus-19 before China itself did. Then that posting was quickly deleted.

Two weeks before a researcher made the genetic sequence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus available to the world, another Chinese scientist quietly posted it to a U.S. government website.
The earlier posting doesn't change the virus' origin story ‒ whether it was sparked by a live animal market or leaked from a scientific laboratory.
But it does renew questions about how much China knew about the virus and when. It suggests that vaccine development could have started sooner. And it raises new questions about how much the U.S. government knew or should have known about the virus in those early days.

Mega-Study: Contrary to the foundational claim of the Decarceration Left, no, minorities do no receive harsher criminal penalties than whites.

An analysis of twenty years of academic literature found that there is little or no evidence that minorities are mistreated by the criminal justice system when it comes to punishment, despite assertions to the contrary by policymakers, media, and academics.
"In recent years it has become common belief within the scholarly community as well as the general public that the criminal justice system is biased due to race and class issues. We sought to examine this with meta-analysis. Our results suggest that for most crimes, criminal adjudication in the US is not substantially biased on race or class lines," professors Christopher J. Ferguson and Sven Smith of Stetson University found in a study to be published in the criminology journal Aggression and Violent Behavior and obtained by The Daily Wire.
"Overall, this is a cause for optimism," researchers concluded--though their findings also called into question the honesty and rigor of the work conducted by race-fueled scholars, whose weaknesses were highlighted this month in former Harvard president Claudine Gay.
As a meta-analysis, the study did not create a new dataset on criminal sentencing and race, but rather examined 51 studies conducted by others looking at the question since 2005. The numbers suggesting no or marginal racial bias in punishment were therefore collected by the existing studies, but those authors often claimed to have found racial bias in their writings, even when their numbers did not back it up.
"We express the concern that evidence for racial bias in the U.S. criminal justice system has been consistently weak, and that scholarly narratives have too often ignored this in favor of the systemic racism narrative," Ferguson and Smith wrote.

Skwad member and criminal fire-alarm puller proposed a reparations bill. He just wants a mere $14 trillion.

Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) proposed a $14 trillion reparations plan Tuesday "for the enslavement of Africans and its lasting harm on the lives of millions of Black people in the United States."
The progressive congressman called on the federal government to foot the bill, arguing that there's a way to pay for it "without raising taxes on anyone."

"When COVID was destroying us, we invested in the American people in a way that kept the economy afloat," Bowman told the Journal News in an interview published January 16. "The government can invest the same way in reparations without raising taxes on anyone."
"Where did the money come from?" he continued. "We spent it into existence."

Yes, we printed up a ton of funny money and it jacked inflation up to backbreaking levels. We just devalued all the dollars in existence, which is exactly the equivalent of taxing people and just taking a portion of their wealth from them.

Bowman is among nine sponsors in support of H.R. 414, a resolution introduced by Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) in May 2023 to recognize that the U.S. "has a moral and legal obligation to provide reparations for the enslavement of Africans and its lasting harm on the lives of millions of Black people in the United States."

As everyone knows, Ron DeSantis suspended his campaign yesterday, and endorsed Trump over the "warmed-over corporatist" Nikki Haley and, of course, Joe Biden.

NBC "News:"

"Now, following our second-place finish in Iowa, we've prayed and deliberated on the way forward," he said. "If there was anything I could do to produce a favorable outcome, more campaign stops, more interviews, I would do it. But I can't ask our supporters to volunteer their time and donate their resources. We don't have a clear path to victory. Accordingly, I am today suspending my campaign."
"It's clear to me that a majority of Republican primary voters want to give Donald Trump another chance," he said, adding: "He has my endorsement because we can't go back to the old Republican guard of yesteryear, a repackaged form of warmed-over corporatism that Nikki Haley represents."

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”

DeSantis' exit and endorsement of Trump makes it almost impossible for Nikki Haley to get the "win" in New Hampshire she needs, even counting on all of those Democrats voting in the primary.

At least 67 people have died due to the Global Warming arctic cold that has gripped the nation.

Much of the U.S. remained gripped by deadly Arctic weather Sunday -- with subfreezing conditions reaching as far south as Texas and Florida.
But the numbing cold is expected to ease up in the coming days.

The weather is getting warmer, but the confluence of warm and cold air will cause rain, snow, and ice before the frigid air is gone.

Warmth is set to thaw parts of the United States following frigid weekend temperatures -- but the warmer air will bring a risk of ice and flooding for some states, and another crippling winter storm is set to hit portions of the Plains and South into Monday.
A series of winter storms this month have killed at least 82 people in 13 states. The death toll climbed on Sunday after emergency management agencies in Oregon, Mississippi and Tennessee reported additional weather-related fatalities.
Now a series of fronts and low-pressure systems are working together to bring warmer air and tropical moisture into the eastern half of the US this week.
The arctic chill will be ending, and cities will begin warming up, with some seeing daily high temperatures increase by close to 30 degrees over the course of three or four days.
Temperatures will be significantly above average by the end of the week, with highs Thursday reaching the upper 60s to low 70s throughout the Southeast and temperatures in the 50s as far north as New York.
Overnight lows will soar into the 60s for parts of the Southeast, potentially breaking over 100 records for warmest daily lows.

8 Mega-Study: Contrary to the foundational claim of the Decarceration Left, no, minorities do no receive harsher criminal penalties than whites.

One of the best economists in the United States, Roland Fryer, did a paper that demonstrated that black people are no more likely to be shot by the cops than white people.

Fryer is black, and Claudine Gay, while dean of the Harvard faculty, then went after him on trumped-up sexual harassment charges, closed his lab, and barred him from teaching or supervising students.

Thinking back Stats & Prob...
Given an infinite variation of "Harsh"
the probability of the two sets (minority or white) "Harsh" being equal/identical is a big ZERO.

Therefore a more concise phrasing of the quote above,
"Whites recieve harsher criminal penalties than minorities."

Why would they just not say it?

82 "Much of the U.S. remained gripped by deadly Arctic weather Sunday -- with subfreezing conditions reaching as far south as Texas and Florida.
But the numbing cold is expected to ease up in the coming days."

I just salted down our global warmening and very icy driveway. I had to avoid the path down to the chicken house, of course because of the globul warmening 1/8" layer of ice on it. So I walked in the 8" of unshoveled snow, topped with a nice 1/8" layer of global warmening. It made a nice crunching sound.

If he plays his cards right and doesn't listen to anymore GOPe consultants, he may be able to parlay his support into a run in 28, but whoever Trump picks for VP will be running as the incumbent in 28, being Trumps VP and all.

Oh! This isn't the spinny spinny zone? Thanks for letting me know pal.

About 50 feet from cars lined up at the bottom where the intersection was my car straightened out and I came to a gentle stop.

Awesome. I had a similar thing happen back in NY. Except I spun through a parking lot. Correction Steering, Oversteering, trying to see everything at once to see who/what I was going to run over...

DeSantis has been dragged through the mud for using that Churchill quote at the top, by all the usual leftoid creeps, because the saying may be apocryphal-- something attributed to Churchill that he may never have said or written.

>>Oh for god sakes. Put away the pom-poms and kneepads, and fucking attempt to be gracious in victory, instead of alienating people (like me) you need voting for your three-time-loser candidate.

You, just like most people on this blog already do, can freely ignore what I say.

What I say is immaterial and meant almost exclusively for an audience of one: Me.

If someone wants to comment on what I say great, otherwise, like Sam Gerard: I. Don't. Care.

And as for being gracious in victory: no.

There was no rationale for DeSantis run, the fact that he ran a stupid, pointless, and doomed to fail campaign, speaks volumes about him.

DeSantis is a nobody, he only became a somebody when he glommed onto the MAGA movement, and got an assist by Trump in his first campaign.

He's subsequently proven to be disloyal, although he seems to have gotten a clue and hopped aboard the train, losing has a way of focusing the mind.

His accomplishments are vastly overblown and quite frankly he's annoying.

And I don't care who you vote for, or don't vote for.

I think part of what made Churchill such a master at comebacks was that he belonged to the Victorian Era in which that was common, but hit the peak of his career at a time when it was becoming less so.

There's a story that one of his Labour opponents abused him in Parliament in terms which went clearly over the line (whereas Churchill usually went right up to the line, but not past it). The man was told by Attlee he'd have to apologize, so he went to Churchill's house to do so. Churchill was on the toilet and, when told who his visitor was, answered, "Tell him I can take only one shit at a time."

238 i think it means trump bettors have to lay $1400 to win $100. It's 14:1, I think.

+1400 is the opposite, Ace. If you bet $100 and win, you'll get paid $1500 ($1400 + $100 original bet).

-1400 is the opposite. Vegas hates when a boxing champ goes up against a nobody, at say -1000. The whales will bet the champ, but there aren't many of those. The little guys will bet $10 to $100 on the underdog, but there are a lot of them, and when the underdog wins, they overwhelm the amount of money bet on the champ.

Contrary to what many think, when a sports book says the Penguins are -3 1/2 against the Bats, they aren't saying the Penguins are that much better than the Bats; they're saying they think half the bettors will take the Penguins, and the other half will take the Bats. The best outcome for the book is to get a 50/50 split between the amount of money bet on the game.

Money line:
+1400 means you win 1400 on a 100 bet
-150 means you lay 150 to win 100

- is the favorite, + is the underdog

Posted by: LinusVanPelt at January 22, 2024 07:16 PM (xT8gx)

Since part of the reason for VP pick is literally life insurance, picking Deep Stater Nikki Haley as VP candidate would seem to be a very risky move for the Donald. Huge potential downside.

248 Frankly, in a way I'm relieved by how things have shaken out. It frees me from the necessity of getting invested in the campaign.

We've been locked into at least four more years of Democrat rule, so there's really nothing of importance left to do, save perhaps chronicle America's further deterioration.

253 How about DJT picks Rand Paul?

Posted by: gp Drinks Your Milkshake at January 22, 2024 07:20 PM (MvF+J)

-------------

My preference is Kari Lake (but she's running for a Senate seat that will be stolen from her) or Byron Donalds (although they're both from Florida, so that wouldn't fly).

He's already indicated he's picking a male (and Gorka said it wasn't an "identity politics" candidate).

I'm guessing J.D. Vance first, Lee Zelden second, and maybe Dr. Ben Carson (which would be an "identity politics" pick) third.

270 The authenticity of every famous quip quoted on this thread is open to question, at the very least.

Here's one I like, not well known, but REAL (because it was said in Parliament, & there was a reporter present):

Some agricultural bill was being debated. Churchill ridiculed a female supporter of the bill by asking her:

"I'll wager the Right Honorable lady doesn't even know how many toes a pig has. Can you even tell us that?"

"No. Why don't you take off your little shoesies and count them?"

273 Oh that we could go back to the days in politics of the high art of civilized critique Churchill style….

Say I’ve read a bunch about old Abe and know he was a funny guy (mainly with storytelling) but I don’t recall that he ever got directly involved with political mudslinging…. All that was done by surrogates in his day. But he was so good with a turn of phrase I’d have loved to hear him engage in civilized political warfare/dialogue

Africa is , by the way...3.5 TIMES as large as the USA.
