I did not know until I took a tour of an old silver mine in Colorado that the word "jackhammer" existed before those power driven machines. It was a particular kind of hammer used to drive a 6 foot long steel drill bit that was held over the shoulder of a miner. Good jacking teams were highly skilled.

152 Newsweek: Jill Stein Blew It for Hillary Clinton. Will She do the Same for Kamala Harris? In 2016, Trump's margin of victory in Pennsylvania was 44,292 voters. Stein's vote was 49,941. In Michigan, Trump's margin was 10,704 and Stein's vote was 51,463. In Wisconsin, Trump's margin was 22,748 and Stein's vote was 31,072.

Unfortunately for Harris, Stein is back in the 2024 election, having not run in 2020.

Scarborough pointed out, no Republican would have been President since 1992, were it not for so called 'progressive' spoilers.

Stein preys on weak minded people who want to believe they are smarter and morally superior than everyone else while she grifts money from Republicans.

She is a tool for the GOP and Russia. She is not a progressive. It's a good act, but only an act.

The Green Party elected Bush II, and while they didn't single handedly destroy Hillary, they played a role. Green stands 'for Get Republicans elected every November'.

Stein didn't "blow it" for Hillary. She won it for Vladimir. She blew it for humanity as did Ralph Nader. Imagine how different our world would be without the republican presidents they enabled.

202 Looking at Marsh's other works appears the city was a wild place in his day.
-----
A habitué of urban New York, Reginald Marsh was especially captivated by the city’s beaches at Coney Island and the Rockaways. During the summertime, he often visited these locations three or four times a week—drawn there, as he explained, by the “crowds of people in all directions, in all positions, without clothing, moving—like the great compositions of Michelangelo and Rubens. I failed to find anything like it in Europe.” The congested city beaches provided Marsh with the materials for a distinctly American kind of collective portraiture that emphasized the race and class of its protagonists.

In Negroes on Rockaway Beach, Marsh details the minutiae of everyday life, observing the different ways that individuals display their bodies and interact with one another. The near orgiastic scenario of entangled figures shows people reclining, embracing, and playing in the sand. Notably, Marsh depicts a single woman, at the composition’s lower left corner; her body is turned away from the others and her eyes are trained on a society gossip rag, the Daily Mirror, thus ignoring the human drama unfolding aro

And second, are they in such dire straits.that they feel the need to use it? (Given a guaranteed response)
Their last launch against Israel.didn't go well. Why waste a nuke when you have such a low probability of even getting to the target?

262 Efforts growing to ‘braid Indigenous knowledge’ into science, UChicago biologist warns

A University of Chicago biologist is voicing concerns about efforts by prestigious academic institutions to “braid Indigenous knowledge” into the hard sciences.

In one recent example, the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine convened a committee tasked with “bridging Indigenous and local knowledge with scientific knowledge” on the environment.

If you want to know what that means;
“By fostering collaboration and integrating diverse perspectives, co-production enables a deeper understanding of causes and potential remedies of environmental stressors,” it states....Asked for the definition of “co-production,” Korsen said it “is a methodology that leverages the expertise of practitioners and community members to develop holistic solutions to multifaceted problems at the intersection of society and the environment.”

275 Saw the first episode of the new anime version of "Uzumaki" last night.

Very well done. They tried to adhere to the manga as closely as possible and that means the animation looks like B&W line drawings.

I suppose the only fault with the story is that the build-up to the insanity happens so fast and is so grotesque, that I would've left town that day.

Also, the rest of the story never quite matches the 1-2 punch of the opening.

Still-

Excellent creepy horror. Not gory but grotesque. A must watch for halloween.

It's not. Until the lofo's panic because they don't have a clue. And/or possibly truckers strike in support of the longshoremen.

Which would be a stupid f'n move. Because I would support businesses Air Traffic Controller-ing truckers and hiring wetbacks.

284 I would have thought the US Govt. would have mobilized troops to help out.

Typically, it's tough to get Active Duty military personnel to do disaster relief work, for a whole host of reasons, and when they do, it's in small teams doing specialized roles.

Instead, the state's National Guard is much better able to respond...unless it's a massive event impacting a huge area. Then, the Guardsman may be affected, they may have civilian jobs in law enforcement or medical fields that can't let them go (or create problems if they do). Then, the governor has to rely on a couple different processes to request aid from nearby states...assuming they're in a position to assist.

People outside of the area may not have noticed but in 2023 a tanker truck ran into a cement bridge support on a bridge over Route 95 in Philadelphia and caught fire. Bridge and roadway destroyed. Working night and day it was five months before repair work was finished.

There aren't totals yet but I would imagine there are at minimum 20 bridges that were destroyed in NC. I'll leave the math for others to perform.

A very well made, sometimes brilliantly directed total failure, where everyone speaks with Marlon Brando's Colonel Kurtz dialog from "Apocalypse Now".

Coppola basically sets out to tell the fall and rise of a Trump/Elon Musk type character only to realize at the last minute that "The horror" he's made a movie that generally portrys Trump/Elon Musk in a mostly positive light. Then tries to clean it up by having his antifa/blm stand-ins parade around with "Make New Rome Great Again" signs and gives us a-

new Pledge of Alliegence to the Globalist/Greentard World, literally on-screen recited by a group of children.

The 2020 electorate was 72% white.

There was a X-based bit of drama a few weeks ago when one pollster (Atlas, I think), made it clear that they modeled a 70% white electorate.

"That's way too high!" said their detractors.

Again...after decades of immigration the electorate in 2020 was still over 70% white.

MI Dem Senate Candidate Warns Internal Polling Shows Kamala ‘Underwater’ In State | The Daily Wire

"I'm not feeling my best right now about where we are in Kamala Harris in a place like Michigan."

Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), who is running for the open Senate seat in Michigan, warned last week that she’s “not feeling [her] best” about Vice President Kamala Harris’ chances of beating former President Donald Trump in the battleground state.

Slotkin told donors on a video call last week that internal polling for her Senate campaign is showing bad results for Harris despite the vice president polling ahead of Trump in Michigan in most public polls. Slotkin’s call with donors was joined by Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Axios reported on Sunday.

“I’m not feeling my best right now about where we are in Kamala Harris in a place like Michigan. We have her underwater in our polling,” Slotkin said. [... etc.]

355 I saw one operating a chipper like contraption on the front. Like a combine, sort of. Ripped through some underbrush that was near power lines.

Left nothing behind but small wood chips.

You should see them hit a 10" tree. Whole tree disappears and all that's left is chips. Impressive.

Good thing Pennsylvania doesn't have any dock workers, I suppose.

I ran into a retired Pennsylvania dockworker at a state park this past summer. I think he said he worked in Chester, PA. Interesting conversation about how the containers lock together on container ships and how they can stack them so high because of the system. A little bit dangerous work at certain parts when manual intervention is required. Nothing I'd want to do, cause my fear of heights kicks in at about 30 feet.

358 If longshoremen can shut down all traffic on the coasts and cripple the country, they could earn brownie points by shutting down the land borders, too.

360 The 2020 electorate was 72% white.

There was a X-based bit of drama a few weeks ago when one pollster (Atlas, I think), made it clear that they modeled a 70% white electorate.

Exactly. While not as extreme a shift as the Left wants (or believes), a 2% shift in the voter base, when it splits 65/35 Dem/GOP can make a big difference in swing states.

My point was that the criticism was saying that it should be lower. Much lower. Like 60%.

Makes you wonder what the other pollsters are doing...

364 There's a 3-day mini-strike ongoing at Montreal's port too.

Canadian strikes are more polite.

365 159 "Stein didn't "blow it" for Hillary. She won it for Vladimir."

Considering Hillary's platform could have just as easily been written at the Kremlin as at the Democrat convention, it takes a great amount of ignorance to state something so stupid.

366 "Monkey Time":

"Now the dance that the people do, I don't know how it started,
All I know is that when the beat brings a feel
It's so hard to get parted!
And then the music begins to play . . .
Automatically you're on your way!
Are you ready (are you ready)?
Well, you get yours, cause-a I got mine
For the Monkey Time (Monkey Time)!"
