It's a much, much larger model designed for full immersion. It comes in several pieces that assemble to form the frame. Then you put in a waterproof liner. That's where things went horribly, horribly wrong. We had it filled about halfway before one of us noticed it sprung a leak and water was seeping out onto the floor/carpets.

Willowed on RFK:
Trump himself is wearing the skin suit of the old Republican Party, so its understandable that their establishment figures dislike him so intensely, people like the Bushes, McConnell etc. They're out and Trump's coalition is in. Now, he's trying to broaden the tent, hoping to attract disaffected Democrats, minority voters and he's doing it by defining Kamala as an extreme Communist. Anyone slightly to the right of Mao has become a possible Trump voter. Smart. And, from the RFK reaction, looking effective. Posted by: Huck Follywood at August 24, 2024 08:23 AM (fmtFO) 31

RFK Jr revealed yesterday that one of the reasons he endorsed Trump was that during his campaign, he reached out to both candidates, to have a private discussion. Trump agreed and they had good, substantive discussions. Kamala and her people arrogantly refused to meet or to even speak to RFK Jr. They let him know that they didn’t think he was worth their time.

No longer true.
Posted by: rhennigantx at August 24, 2024 08:26 AM (gbOdA) --- What happened is that the secularization of the Democrats bled into their youth. Time was, religion informed politics. Now politics is a religion. This has hit the Dems really hard, because without a moral compass, winning is all that matters, so there is no crime, no cheating, only winning. At the same time, political values become moral ones, so debate shifts from being about which policies actually work to which ones are sacred and which ones are damned. Not long ago, you could argue policy and someone could say: "I don't think that will work, but I respect that you want to solve the problem." Nowadays both the policy and the person are condemned as evil and targeted for destruction. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H.

Update on my son’s Lyme treatment abroad. Thank you for your prayers. It appears the thermal treatments have killed the Lyme hiding in the soft tissues as well as the blood. He is now having treatments that vacuum the dead Lyme from his blood. It is amazing. He feels wonderful and we are now praying they are all dead and will not remultiply when he returns home at the end of the month. They have also treated him for the Lyme coinfections but that is too much for one post. Thank you again for your prayers

Posted by: Tom Servo at August 24, 2024 08:36 AM (q3gwH) --- Yep. See my previous post. In a past life, I was a GOP henchman, working in the state Legislature. Obviously there were disageements, but I knew several Democrat reps who were polite and even kind. You could talk with them. Years later I ran into one of them and told her that all the GOP staff liked her because she treated us as humans. I told her that in floor debates she made it clear that she disagreed with us on policy, but didn't think we were bad people, just wrong. And if the facts proved otherwise, she could admit it. She actually hugged me with tears in her eyes. She was just so happy that her "enemies" respected her. You can't have that now. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H.

Other than the Kennedy moniker, RFK Jr's endorsement doesn't move the needle.
Posted by: Martini Farmer at August 24, 2024 08:37 AM (Q4IgG) --- It does, but not in the way most people think. RFK has de-stigmatized Trump, and also highlighted how undemocratic the Democrats are. This won't necessarily shift voters, but it will cause some to simply stay home. I know several very liberal people who are deeply unhappy with the party, but are gritting their teeth to fight Orange Man Bad. RFK is basically offering them intellectual and moral cover to say: "I hate both of them, screw it." That RFK is rabidly pro-choice also destroys the lie that Trump will push for national abortion ban. They've been pushing that hard to get the women to show up. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H.

Nobody was more "anti big pharm" than the hippies. Anti-cancer treatments, the conspiracy theories on the left were agreed that cancer cures were being withheld from the public.
A general antipathy to the vaccine immunization schedule for children, what few they had, was routine. That wasn't just a a left wing thing. There are up to 28 different innoculations included in the 3 or 4 shot schedule and these are done before baby's first year or so? Yeah that's probably nuts. Spread 'em out, both in kind and temporally, but that costs more money. My point is it was REALLY weird to see all the hippies do a 180 and start doing cartwheels on the lawn when they got "approved" to take an experimental brand new vaccine. They were willing to throw you and yours under the bus too. Still are. Posted by: Common Tater at August 24, 2024 09:00 AM (dJC33) 138

Posted by: Count de Monet at August 24, 2024 09:02 AM (Aqu9a) --- Congrats! Warning: you have limited control over this. Grandkids often go their own way on what they call you, which is part of the fun. I managed to hold onto "Granpa" but my wife is "Mimi" for some reason. I named my maternal grandmater "Gigi" and it stuck. Why that name? Apparently, a visit of my great-grandmother coincided with my hitting a language milestone. Everyone was calling her "G.G." for "Great-Grandma" and I liked how that sounded, and used it on my grandmother, who took a fancy to it. Good luck! Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H.

That RFK is rabidly pro-choice also destroys the lie that Trump will push for national abortion ban. They've been pushing that hard to get the women to show up.

It would be better to assume a population of Mosquitos = Infection then worry about sub-species.
All those "rarely" adjectives and boutique diseases are simply because parasite infections are notoriously difficult to detect, the symptoms are generally vague and mimic many many other diseases, and very often victims are completely asymptomatic. Many doctors don't know what to look for or have never seen it. Mosquitos are a scourge and probably the #1 killer. Posted by: Common Tater at August 24, 2024 09:13 AM (dJC33) 193

I thought back and forth about the endorsement. ANd what he decided to do was very clever! Where it matters - the battleground states, he removed himself and endorsed Trump. +1. In blue states he remains on the ballot, very likely taking away votes from Ds (because why else would you go third party, but not go Red in a blue state ?). +1 ! Depleting their numbers, perhaps even pushing places we have't seen Red into purplish territory. Double plus good ! He remains on the ballot in Red states. But those are solid. And at the same time , he did not betray his supporters. He suspended. That was some clever electoral calculus he had to devise. His family, which is important to him, will not look kindly. That was a bit of sacrifice. Respect.

Under certain circumstances, he might very well need them.
Posted by: Martini Farmer at August 24, 2024 09:09 AM (Q4IgG) --- In the runup to the Spanish Civil War, the Popular Front basically purged the officer corps, and also moved around commanders they couldn't get rid of. Franco was conservative but in an apolitical way, but they didn't trust him and shipped him out to the Spanish equivalent of BF Egypt, which happened to be within non-stop flight range to Spanish Morocco. Kind of a mistake. Also banished Emilio Mola to Navarre, where he worked out a deal with the Requetes and help them professionalize their ultra-Catholic militia. And so when the July Rising happened and then failed and war settled in, Franco could draw upon a huge pool of unemployed officers to flesh out his new divisions. Hopefully it won't come to that, but it's an interesting parallel, and fully documented in my book. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at August 24, 2024 09:27 AM (llXky) 244

I was in Kroger and in walked this young lady(mid-20s?) where spray-painted on yoga pants and a top so sheer and tight that you could see/imagine exactly what was underneath. She was old style Playboy Playmate quality with very well-toned body. You would think that all the male attention she instantly got, she wanted becuz outside of a strip club, who wears something like that? But, nope, lots of resting bitch face directed at all the guys gazing. So, in fact, she must've thought that outfit was the norm and why were all these horrible male chauvinists staring at her?

mis hum, it's so discouraging. MT has an abortion initiative on the ballot to make a change to our constitution. This was done by a well coordinated petition drive that added it to the November ballot. Much like OH it will be convoluted language where most people will not be able to tell what they are voting on. MT is still red with the exception of the Sodom and Gamorrahs of Missouala and Bozeman. We've absorbed a lot of CA, WA and OR refugees and even though they appear to be conservative the proof as they say will be in the pudding. If this measure passes the individual county results will need to be parsed and an effective strategy devise to counteract what might actually be missionaries not refugees. Ditto with tester if he's reelected.

RFK Jr revealed yesterday that one of the reasons he endorsed Trump was that during his campaign, he reached out to both candidates, to have a private discussion. Trump agreed and they had good, substantive discussions. Kamala and her people arrogantly refused to meet or to even speak to RFK Jr. They let him know that they didn’t think he was worth their time.

It was caused by two cars being set alight outside the Beth Yaacov synagogue in La Grande-Motte, authorities said. One of the vehicles contained a hidden gas bottle. France’s Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin called the incident “an obviously criminal act”. In a post on X, formerly Twitter, he wrote: “I want to assure our Jewish fellow citizens and the municipality of my full support”, adding that all means were being mobilised to find the perpetrator.|| Posted by: andycanuck (c39uV) at August 24, 2024 09:40 AM (c39uV) 284

Back in the 50's a Republican named Joseph McCarthy appointed RFK to a subcommittee investigating communist influence. He resigned, did not approve of the methods, but the fact remains. I hope that RFK jr's older brother comes out and says that while he disagrees with his brother, he still loves him. That will shut the rest of the "cousins" and second cousins and second cousin twice removed up. Kennedy is a huge clan. Robert had 11 children.

The left uses social shaming because that is what they fear most. They rarely experience physical danger, so unlike conservatives, they don't think about it much. For them the worst thing is to be shunned.
Because they have no moral core, no faith, they are entirely sustained by social hierarchy and their place within it. That is why they are so easy to stampede from one extreme to the next. The value isn't the point, it's the status accrued by upholding that value. It's Yard Sign Calvinism - put the right sign on your lawn and you are part of the Elect, and therefore saved. And being saved, you can be as vicious and mean as you want. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at August 24, 2024 09:44 AM (llXky) 302
Note the contrast - RFK Jr makes substantive arguments in favor of his opinions and conclusions. His old "friends" have nothing but insults and personal attacks. There is one of these Proofs of the Existence of God that posits that Reason and Logic are some of the attributes of God and absent a Creator there is no evolutionary explanation for Reason and Logic. In Romans 1, the idea is taught that as God turns Man over, that Man further alienates himself from the Creator (of Reason and Logic). Empirical evidence shows that the the more one is Turned Over, as in approaching Stage IV Reprobation, they become even more unhinged. This may explain why the demon possessed are categorically insane - the demons have reached Cast Into Outer Darkness levels of alienation from God. With this template in mind, it makes the RFK/Trump/Christian/Jew hate far more understandable. Posted by: Unknown Drip Under Pressure at August 24, 2024 09:44 AM (0Y1Ss) 303

211 Any word on our intrepid Space explorers?
More weasel word press updates, I guess Bill Nelson NASA administrator is going to get up today, grab a cup of coffee, read some entrails, and "decide" whether or not they are going to return on the starliner capsule, or what. Or maybe they need more time... Who knows Posted by: Common Tater at August 24, 2024 09:18 AM (dJC33) NASA news conference is scheduled for 1 PM ET today, to 'provide status" of the Starliner mission. A NASA buddy texted me yesterday he received an email stating a decision about the return of Starliner has been made - did not say what the decision is - and will be announced at the news conference. It will be streamed on the NASA Live website. Bet all your quatloos on the crew remaining on ISS for the next 7 months or so and Starliner commanded to make an autonomous landing in three weeks or so. I don't think NASA will command Starliner to undock before the 'rescue' Dragon is in a nice stable orbit. Or maybe not until Dragon is approaching ISS to dock. During a period between Starliner undock and Dragon docking, the Starliner 2 will not have lifeboat seats. Gotta go - enjoy your covfefe, everyone!

Today, we witness an unprecedented convergence of the populist right and the populist left. This union represents a great threat to the entrenched forces of the Deep State, and yet, it also signifies a beacon of hope for the American people—a hope that has not been seen in a generation. It is a powerful symbol of our collective desire for change and a repudiation of the status quo that has failed so many hardworking Americans. Let us embrace this moment and harness the strength of our unity. Together, we have the power to take back control of our county and to usher in a new era of prosperity, peace, security, and opportunity for all.

First a praise-
I am grateful to God that I have the ability to walk and see. Yesterday, spouse and I went early to the local Senior Living place, and an outside area which has a pond and a fountain and turtles and fish is lovely to visit. On the road going through the center at about 7:00 a.m. there was a large blue heron walking across the road very slowly to the pond. We figured out that he must live in one of the townhouses at the Senior Center and was waking up to get his breakfast in the pond. We also saw goldfinches in the meadown. Afterwards coming home we saw two more herons in our local streams, one white one and another blue one. Being out in nature lifts our spirits and we thank God for His work in nature.

Election Wizard @ElectionWiz 44m
ELECTION INTEGRITY UPDATE: This week, the RNC sued the City of Detroit for violating state law by deliberately failing to hire a sufficient number of GOP election inspectors. This week, the RNC sued the North Carolina State Board of Elections for ignoring the law and failing to clean up the voter rolls. During this week’s FL primary, the RNC deployed poll watchers to man over 3,000 shifts covering the entire period from the beginning of early voting until the primary. Poll watchers caught over 750 issues, including a software problem in Broward County. GOP lawyers provided rapid responses and resolved all issues in real time. Election Wizard @ElectionWiz 7m I’ve been critical of the RNC, but the efforts by the party to proactively protect the vote *before* the election is 1000x better than ever before. There’s still much work to be done, but you’re a doomer if you think Democrats are going to be able to mass replicate their 2020 “fortification” efforts this time.

A friend of mine (P) has a daughter who is getting married today in the RCC church in the town where they live. He is disaffected from the RCC (From bad experiences with nuns, I think and also reading "Jesus Seminar" stuff) but believes in God. but not Jesus and his wife does adult ed at the RCC, so this is sticking point with her. Anyway, I'm asking for blessing upon his daughter and future son in law, V & M, that everyone get back and forth safely and that people at the wedding feel the presence of God and have a lovely time.

Posted by: andycanuck (c39uV) - It will be part of it, but not the important part. Although IIRC they only needed something like 60K total votes spread across five cities to defeat the electoral college, which really was brilliant. I think this time it will involve the House and certification process. There will be no perfectly timed federal op to put the House into emergency session to prevent discussion, so the (D)s will be able to lawfare in that venue as well as locally for as long as they need. Add to that violence (which is guaranteed) and more shootings of (R) opposition, and they'll have their next stage in place before we know it.

342 RFK Jr has articulated something I hope Trump distills into a soundbite:
If they get away with forcing Kamala on the ticket without anyone voting for her, they are never going to let you vote again. ====== Oh, there will be an election and voting, but it really won't be the people's choice. RFK definitely has a point, we are flirting with outright oligarchy here (bought her a few drinks, even) and it should be vigorously rejected. Trump is the people's choice, Harris is Obama's choice. Posted by: exdem13 FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT at August 24, 2024 10:32 AM (W+kMI) 406
I don't think Harris wants it. If it is handed to her, like everything else in her life, she'll take it. But to fight for it? Expand energy, memorize words and numbers? Forget it. SHe is looking forward to it being over. Why ? Because I read it on her face. *I am an amateur physiognomist.

🚨Breaking: Anthony Fauci, former director of the NIAID, is recovering at home after being hospitalized with West Nile virus. josette caruso @josettecaruso CNN: Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, is recovering at home after being hospitalized with West Nile virus, a spokesperson said. Fauci, a longtime public health official who became a household name as part of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, is expected to recover fully, the spokesperson said. About 1,000 Americans are hospitalized each year with the most severe form of West Nile virus, which is spread through the bite of infected mosquitoes. Another 1,500, on average, are diagnosed after developing symptoms, although experts estimate that as many of 80% of infections in the US are never identified. There is no vaccine or specific treatment for West Nile. Most cases are mild, causing flu-like symptoms and a rash. In about 1 in 150 cases, the virus invades the brain and nervous system, which can lead to brain swelling, brain damage or death. About 100 people die from West Nile infections in the US each year.

Every pharma lobbyist will fight tooth and nail to prevent this. Same with most Congress critters. Entirely too much grift at stake.

It evens the playing field for all drug companies. They'll spend money elsewhere, but only a small percentage of what they formerly spent. If Trump can put political pressure on Congress with a televised promise of lower drug prices for all those Congress critters are gonna feel some heat. This is Trumps last term in office (if cheat too small) with no way to win reelection. It's legacy time. I can buy Coke or Pepsi, both heavy advertisers at $2.00 a bottle or so no-name generic soda at $1.00 a bottle, that should give everyone an idea of the cost involved in advertising.

I don't think so ... just because this widespread cultural view extends back to at least FDR. We didn't have the 24 hour news cycle then. It started with FDR.

I'm thinking that PDT learned a lot about how the dems/progs and GOPe worked from his first and second campaigns, his time in office and the lawfare waged against him. For all of the handwringing done here and other places about his choices, I believe he endorsed ronna over Dhillon for RNC chair, so many things have worked in his favor. ronna is gone and the RNC seems to be making strides not seen in awhile with his people in place. The RFK Jr endorsement should pay off and now stein and that other seem to be echoing RFK Jr attacks. The attempted assassination of PDT also opened a few eyes and then PDT pushed for SS coverage for RFK Jr. He's learned that he needs to battle the scum more effectively and with a different strategy then name calling and mean tweets. He tapped Vance who's so much more effective then pence. It's a brand new game coupled with the disfunction of the dem/prog party.

- At first I was going to commend her for having the self-awareness to know that she's incapable and didn't earn it. But then I realized that's probably not it. She was told up until last month that she was awesome and it's everyone elses fault that she's a miserable failure at everything. Except then Trump was shot in the head. And then Biden was forcibly removed from office. She was almost certainly told outright that she is next if she doesn't dance to the tune. And it probably terrifies her.

In that interview, she says they mandate a Hepatitis B vaccine at birth! The only way you get Hep B is by IV drug use or sexual contact. They screen the mother for that, yet give the vaccine to all babies.
Posted by: Notsothoreau at August 24, 2024 09:04 AM (dDSBl) This is correct, and the stated rationale is that by the time the child grows up enough to engage in sexual contact and IV drug use they child is probably not going to get the vaccine, so this is "preventative" Most of the shots in the schedule are given for this reason.

Once the J6ers are free, they should then sue for wrongful imprisonment. The government actually paid the protesters arrested after they tried to burn down a historic church. Wrongfully arrested, they said.
The J6 prisoners have had their lives destroyed. Some have been in jail 3 years pretrial denied bail for misdemeanor offenses. This is beyond cruel, it is evil. They deserve to be made whole. Posted by: Sharon(willow's apprentice) at August 24, 2024 10:58 AM (t/2Uw) 479

I heard the old ones talk about then olden days when the doctor would make house visits! You know, your family doc would come over and stuff. Check you out, write a prescription. So you don't have to drag your sick ass to the doctor's office. When you are sick !
Posted by: runner at August 24, 2024 10:12 AM (V13WU) I have heard the grandfather tales when the family doctor had an office on the street in your own small town, and to visit him you could call the receptionist who would set you up without forcing you to go through multiple levels of voicemail, and have to file online questionnaires and travel to the county seat where his office was near the hospital, and if a boy had gotten a bad cut or a minor broken bone, the doctor would STITCH HIM UP IN HIS OFFICE instead of making the boy sit in the emergency room for three hours next to the tweekers waiting for an empty gurney.

Kennedy and Gabbard likely saw the sharp point of the Democrat's spear. Up close.
2016: The DNC steals the nomination from Bernie and gives it to Hillary. Bernie is given a house to compensate. He shuts up. 2020: The DNC steals the nomination from Bernie and gives it to Senile Joe. Bernie is given another house to compensate. He shuts up. 2024: The DNC steals the nomination from RFK Jr. and gives it first to Senile Joe, and then to Kamala. RFK Jr. refuses to shut up.

Every pharma lobbyist will fight tooth and nail to prevent this. Same with most Congress critters. Entirely too much grift at stake. Reason 4,797 K Street needs to be set aflame and the ashes bulldozed.
Posted by: Heavy Meta at August 24, 2024 10:23 AM (GTqXr) It is going to suck to be them. IIRC about 70% of the drugs used in the US are made in China and most of the rest are made in India from Chinese precursors. I suspect that is going to change, which means the whole structure of power and money is going to shift. Posted by: Kindltot at August 24, 2024 11:08 AM (D7oie) 494
I don't think Harris wants it. If it is handed to her, like everything else in her life, she'll take it. But to fight for it? Expand energy, memorize words and numbers? Forget it. SHe is looking forward to it being over. Why ? Because I read it on her face. *I am an amateur physiognomist.
Posted by: runner at August 24, 2024 10:24 AM (V13WU) I think she has done anything for anyone who held out power, and was canny enough to choose the right sponsors. It got her here, and I think she will continue. The question is does she have the juice and the backing to push it over the top? Posted by: Kindltot at August 24, 2024 11:11 AM (D7oie) 495
249- There is a reason UniParty has invested so much into framing Trump as 'Orange Man Bad' - apparently he is actually a really nice respectful guy. Even the worse things he is accused of saying (puthy) probably would not even offend preacher. Yes, some women are gold-diggers and some wealthy men take advantage of that, not a good thing, maybe even a sin that mutual abuse.

The last few days have been annoying. Constant stream of scam calls. Idiots with India accent calling to tell me I qualify for extra Medicare benefits. I AM NOT ON MEDICARE!! I'm not old enough to qualify for Medicare.
My dad worked at Indiana University for 45 years. His retirement fund transferred to me after he passed away. Now I get a monthly payment from that fund that is roughly half of what Pappymayhem received. These fucking scam artists have been pestering me since Pappymayhem left and its annoying. But the last few days have been constant, once or more, PER HOUR, all fucking day for three days in a row. Starts at 9am and doesn't stop until 8pm. They call my landline house phone and they're spoofing different phone numbers every time so I can't block them. Posted by: Madamemayhem (uppity wench) at August 24, 2024 11:11 AM (4XwPj) 497

You know, a lot of these vaccines are actual working vaccines. Many use the tried and true mechanism of a neutralized actual virus stimulating the immune system. We have to be careful not to literally throw the babies out with the bathwater.

Enjoyed the hell out of The Beekeeper. It was a ridiculous movie, but the fantasy of getting to the assholes pestering us on the phone was alluring.
My phone has been pretty quiet, but wife's gets 8 to 15 spam calls per day. No idea what they are about, she just swipes down. If I have her phone, I answer, wait 5-10 seconds to allow the machine to connect the next boiler room employee, and then hang up. They're annoying me, I'll waste their time and resources.
