I’m back from the store!
We were all out of gruel for the orphans, so I headed out to the store. More chin mask-wearing than I have seen in a while. My gym has a sign that commands masking…2 people out of 30 were masked. Staff didn’t care at all. Hmmm.
Brett needed coverage today, so I stepped up….with no ideas. So you just get some generic links:
- Link about Serious News
- Link from tabloid
- Link about Switzerland
Music link. Change a few words and it is about half the people here (me included). “All I need is an ISP…”
Comment at your own risk.
Bout the same at my gym
Lin’s!
That second link is definitely the generic equivalent of the one SF posted yesterday.
The Incest needs to stop. This is Trumps America
According to Pornhub that’s completely normal.
He did say he’d date his own daughter. And by date he meant…
So pornhub was a documentary?
Better looking people.
That doesn’t necessarily say much given the ugliness on display yesterday
They look absolutely, genuinely happy.
A nice change from your typical American right now.
That was my thought, too.
All i can think is that they were dirty dancing.
The Vietnamese want to denounce them for cultural appropriations. Loving you long time belongs to them!
This is why I’m glad I never joined the army. Fighting over some god forsaken high dessert just so your nation can wiggle its bean at another nation.
At least India’s bowing up over aggressions against their own territory. I’d say they have a legitimate beef here.
Sure it’s on the border, but my understanding is it’s pretty worthless land. Maybe there is some “value” I’m not aware.
I was watching a video on it a while back and it’s strategically important to one or both sides from what I remember. I can’t recall the specifics though.
“Fighting over some god forsaken high dessert”
Wait just a damn minute here. Maybe not in FL but in Podunkville Mary Ellen’s high dessert is worth fighting for at the church box supper. Some guys would pay 3-4 dollars, if necessary

Large Turnout At Memorial For Hans Gruber Who Was Thrown From A Building By A Police Officer
Good one
Keystone cops…
https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/514603-breonna-taylors-boyfriend-sues-louisville-police
No knock warrants should have been stopped before they were started. Unless the cops are sure there’s someone in the house with the nuclear codes and button.
But they never will be stopped, dems will see to that by making this all about race, once again, so that a conversation cannot ever be started, or that if it is stated it will be completely off topic.
How do we stop no knock raids? Reparations!

Scroll down two tweets to her supposed guardian. Surprise, it’s not mom. Too bad the cops were too busy to slap the cuffs on her for child endangerment.
She should be glad Blake didn’t arrest her.
She’s complaining they touched her inner thigh.
Probably a patdown for weapons that she’s trying to turn into sexual assault.
And they misaged her too!

I am cynical about seeing this mask nonsense go away soon.
Concord, NH just passed a mask ordinance.
Portsmouth, NH put off the final vote on their mask ordinance because a town official died. I think the final vote is now in two weeks.
Henniker, NH is reconsidering their mask ordinance. The town Selectboard shot down the ordinance a few weeks ago. They’re trying again.
Manchester, NH is considering a mask ordinance. There was supposed to be a vote tonight on it. Some folks scheduled an anti-mask ordinance rally outside of Manchester city hall tonight starting at 5 PM Eastern. The vote was cancelled this afternoon. There is talk of reconsidering it in a month. What an emergency huh? The rally is still going to happen. I’m going. Glibs meet-up? Sorry about the short notice.
I see more and more folks wearing masks while working out at my gym. Yuck.
“Selectboard”? Too bad.
I figured the “Board of Selectmen” was a doomed term. How extensive has the change been? In the little MA burg we lived in even the proggies were for keeping the old term in deference to ancient tradition. We always had at least one female Selectman and most everyone thought that was cool.
I’ve seen it called “Selectboard” in other places so that’s what I used.
There is a woman involved in the Reopen NH group who is on her town’s Selectboard. I think when she uses the title, I think she uses “Selectman”.
I’m off to Manchester.
I don’t see localities getting more tyrannical while their subjects tire of the whole thing as ending well.
I am cynical about seeing this mask nonsense go away soon.
Try never. Its already being extended through the flu season. And once you’ve done one flu season, might as well do them all.
Early on I brought up Richard Reid and mentioned we’re still taking our shoes off at the airport 19 years later. When you give gov’t a new power, they don’t give it back. It has to be taken back from them.
So the mask mandates would need to be challenged in court once the “state of emergency” stuff goes away (assuming we’re not going to be kept in a permanent ‘state of emergency.’)
I’m back.
Someone at the rally counted the crowd. About 40 or so people. Some candidates for political office gave speeches. A few other people whom I can’t remember who they are gave speeches.
The Manchester Board of Aldermen will take the ordinance up next month. Scuttlebutt from some Manchester folks I talked to is about half the Board oppose the ordinance. We’ll see what happens in a month.
India accuses China of fresh ‘provocative actions’ at mountain border

Tall white cans! I looked twice
“We’re sorry — and we’ll take these steps so we can say we’re sorry again.” The prior discussion on the USSR really drove the point home that the CIA only seems to exist to support the need for a CIA, and this makes the FBI look much the same. Iron Law of Bureaucracy, I suppose.
Yep. The entire soft coup attempts are being swept under the rug. They have the one ceremonial conviction to say “What do you mean nothing happened? One lawyer was convicted and got 37 hours of unsupervised community service.” (Prediction, not actual sentence.)
Only just now got to Tulip’s post.
Thanks, Tulip. Nice work and it sparked some good discussion.
Late 70’s I was stationed at a radar site in the Fulda Gap near the border.
Some of my pictures. Contains my own favorite Cold War Photo – an East German guard taking a piss (SFW).

It was pretty grim. No question of who the bad guys were when they have to do this to keep their own people in. This ran from the Baltic to Czechoslovakia – it wasn’t just the wall in Berlin. Unintended consequence – this swath is now a huge nature preserve
At least his urine could be free!
Nice, but not true. He’s on the E German side. The border was very convoluted. I was on the West side shooting across a penninsula, if you will, of E Germany.
I’d never let the truth stand in the way of a potential joke.
Very nice pictures. Both for general pretty views and the historical matter. Two pics that just gut me is the fencing on and underneath the centuries old stone bridge and the cut off dirt road (a couple down or so).
Really neat pics Mikey, must have been disturbing in a way
It really was disquieting. The villages on the other side were either dead or dying. When childtren got to high school age they were moved out eventually leaving only old people. And when there were few enough of those, they were moved out.
Not Real Socialism though.
A couple of friends of mine pissed on a wall of the KGB building in downtown Moscow in 1997. I should have joined them. There were huge crowds everywhere on account of Moscow’s big anniversary.
Three guards were in a watchtower on the East/West German border. A herd of wild swine wandered into the restricted area and set off all the mines in a section of it.
One guard thought “Too bad about the mines”.
A second one thought “Too bad about the pigs”.
The third one thought “Too bad I’m not by myself”
“All I need is an ISP…”

They’re step siblings and have apparently been dating since they met, which could predate the parents’ relationship. Seems harmless to me.
I knew a girl in school who’s mother ended up marrying her boyfriend’s father. They were both divorcees who met through their kids. As far as I know, the kids continued to stay a couple after the wedding. They weren’t related and didn’t grow up together as siblings.
That’s what I thought, it doesn’t say when the parents got together, could’ve just been a year ago, who knows.
Heyooo. I haven’t been posting much because work and domestic duties have had me overwhelmed. I just learned that my cop neighbor took an early retirement, packed up and moved out of state. I couldn’t believe how suddenly it happened. My wife came home yesterday and expressed confusion about the U-Haul parked out front. We went outside and talked to them for just a minute or two. They seemed jovial but hurried. By the evening they were gone and their apartment stood empty. I’ve never been a police apologist by any stretch of the imagination, but even I know that this doesn’t bode well for my city if it proves to be a larger trend. Chicago is not exactly inspiring my confidence this year.
For those who think Antifa isn’t real or the protests are spontaneous. I find it very disturbing because I unless there is a concerted effort by law enforcement, including prosecutors, the only way to deal with these people will be to shoot them.
Intelligence Gathering at Protests
Antifa filming license plates in Portland and they (or their media propagandists) were complaining that some drivers had taped or obstructed the plates as proof of the Trumpers’ nefarious intent. If you start wandering about the antifa twitter accounts, you’ll see pics with people id’d or requests to id someone.
“They surrounded the police cars and began beating on them, trying to force the police to use deadly force or hit them with the cars. The entire situation was a set-up designed to produce a new incident to create more tension and protests.“
Interesting, seems like a variation of the moronic behavior seen with the people chasing The Kenosha Kid.
There’s a book that is a tradition for all college bound kids in my family, Barefoot Boy with Cheek. It was written in 1943 and took place at the University of Minnesota. There’s a scene where the protagonist goes to a Communist Party meeting lured by a fetching young lady with a faint mustache wearing a burlap dress. Some fellow communists are discussing their recent action at the University of Wisconsin.
“Let me tell you how we did it. We scheduled a demonstration on the steps of the university library one afternoon. Natashya started to speak and pretty soon a few curious students collected. I waited for a little while, and then I ran to the dean’s office. All out of breath I burst in and announced that the communists were setting the library on fire. The dean got hold of the campus cop immediately and told him to rush to the library. As soon as Natashya saw the cop coming she threw herself to the steps, knocked out her front teeth, and screamed that she had been clubbed. In an instant a huge crowd appeared. Well, the paper simply couldn’t ignore that story.”
It seems that things haven’t changed that much.
^ it’s why I think it greatly underestimates the risk by labeling Antifa/BLM as LARPers. Some people may be showing up for the excitement, but there’s clearly a hardcore element at the center of this that are organized, well funded, armed & armored, and do not shy from violence. These aren’t all rich college kids living in their parents’ basement…. the three people Rittenhouse shot were all convicted felons, including a pedophile.
There are a bunch of hangers on but there’s a diehard core too, no doubt.
From what I can tell, antifa consists mostly of white petty criminals.
The “security” guys with the walkie talkies are Che Guevara wannabes – up to and including the torturing and murdering.
And they are funded by the millions donated by every dirtbag corporation as well as Soros’ bottomless bank account.
Civil War has probably started even though only one side is fighting now.
only one side is fighting now
The Kenosha Kid begs to differ.
That sounds so Nazi to me, same tactics,
Scott Adams asks the same question this Morning,
“For those who think Antifa isn’t real”
Loyal CNN watchers?
“They use the ubiquitous BaoFeng Handi-talkie radios to communicate.”
It’s illegal to use those without a license.
I have about a dozen of them. No one gives a damn so long as you keep the transmit power down.
Why so many?
We use them for crew radios at the race track.
I figured there would be frequencies set aside for auto racing that don’t require a license.
Yep, would be easy to check fcc licenses. Just like the obvious money laundering and fundraising. But for some reason isn’t being done.
Of course, there might be another reason for letting them use them unmolested- easier to collect intelligence from.
A couple of guys used some COTS motorola talkabouts for a deployment. Part of it was security for a signals intercept site with coed MI units. They were slightly less than professional with some of the convos and one of the MI folks casually made a mention of it in the chow line one day.
In ’04 Yeah we had SOT-A team in Tikrit that caught some conventional guys using those little off the shelf radio to broadcast convoy timelines and such, in the clear. The team sergeant gave the guilty unit’s S-2 a heads up on the idiocy and it stopped pretty quckly.
Someone with half a brain watching all of these ‘peaceful protests’ might observe that most of the peaceful protesters are the spawn of wealthy white progtards and wonder what is really going on. But groupthink seems to make such observations go away.
I asked my barber about this yesterday. He said he’d heard through his Barber Shop Intel Network (i.e. customers) that they were getting paid $200 a day by someone.
Info is worth what you pay for it though…

Any Ngo has reported the same thing. They ID’d him, and someone put his info on Twitter. Then he was assaulted. The cops did nothing, but he does have a lawsuit in process.

You have a choice of toppings comrade. Unfortunately as the shelves are bare, there is only government cheese today. Maybe tomorrow different.
“Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser has revealed her fear that the US is ‘descending into a race war”
Bullshit, she’s not even that stupid. Like the rest of the left, she wants to keep playing the race card until it’s worn out. I’m not sure what the democrats have besides that. If the race card was taken away, they’d become a minority party overnight.
She’s doing everything she can to get us there.
Seen on Twitter: Is is a race war if white people are fighting other white people over black problems?
Some pizza joint should make a Black Olives Matter Pizza.
Now that would be stunning and brave.
Project Suburban update:
After I got it to turn over and start, I put it on he back burner for a while. I ordered a carb rebuild kit, and Saturday, I rebuilt the quadrajet. It’s actually pretty simple, but a few things are pretty fiddly when it goes back together. A third hand might be helpful, especially with the Rube Goldberg choke apparatus. Sunday, I stuck it back on. Took my time, because I might not have been overly confident in it, but it fired right up, and runs okay. I shouldn’t say this, but it sounds pretty happy. It doesn’t want to idle.
When I determined that it wanted to run, I put the pulleys and belts on, and the alternator even works. It goes forward and backward, and it stops. The power steering belt needs to be snugged up.
If I’m not careful, I’m going to catch myself thinking about putting some tires and a license plate on it.
A guy oughta have a couple wobble pops to celebrate. Congrats on reviving the old beast. Maybe pour some barium right down the throat and really feed her the onions to try and make it idle.
Quadrajets have a distinct problem. The well plugs underneath seep fuel and richen the mixture excessively. You have to JB weld them to seal them up. I’ve done a couple of dozen in my lifetime. There’s a book that details the procedure and now, it’s probably available online somewhere. Never seen one not leak from the well plugs.

There was a theory bandied about, here or on TOS, that people tend to imprint on the type of music they liked when they first started paying attention to music. My own experience is anecdotal evidence of this.
My favorite album from my favorite band was released on this date… forty-two years ago.
Damn, I’m getting old. Yes, I enjoyed the music of one of those bands that critics loved to shit on. Fight me.
So, I’m still a big Beatles fan? I have to remind myself, I’m not getting it.

Okay, I’m calling it now. I’ve been saying it all along, but the Left Media now have their talking points for how they’re going to claim that Biden wins, even if Trump wins in “what appears to be a landslide…” They’ve been instructed to call it the “Red mirage.”
Look at all of the blue checks and other commie apologists (but I repeat myself) out in force broadcasting it. Courtesy of Bloomberg. Man, I swear I saw this coming. This is why Hillary et al have been setting up the narrative that he “won’t leave office.” This is the tell. He’s going out whether he wants to or not. They’re going to make sure this fucking election only goes one way. The soft coup with the FBI and Intel Agencies didn’t work, so this is what happens now.
https://www.axios.com/bloomberg-group-trump-election-night-scenarios-a554e8f5-9702-437e-ae75-d2be478d42bb.html
All those mail in ballots is how the Red Mirage works, according to them, another here, another there,
we’re in for some…..Times
They’ve been setting the stage for this for months.
It’s a vast right wing conspiracy.
If Trump wins there will be boxes and boxes and boxes of ballots show up all around the nation. I am with you. I believe there is 0% chance they will accept a loss here.
Don’t be ridiculous. There won’t be boxes of ballots showing up all around the nation.
Just in the handful of swing states Gropey Joe and Horizontal Harris need to carry the electoral college.
I fear the Republicans are too stupid to be gearing up for the post-election fight. They regularly get rolled whenever a close election gets recounted (or provisional ballots get counted), so I am a long way from being confident Trump will be inaugurated next January, no matter who the actual voters say they want.
Ya good point. Wasn’t it in Orange County where a handful of team red won on election night then a few days later they had “really” lost?
Arizona Senate seat too. McSally was up by 10,000 votes on D+1, and the ballots just kept coming in and she lost big time. By like 70,000 votes I think.
It’s just fishy as hell that every single fucking election across multiple states has “the blue shift” in the post Election Day counting.
Yup. 2018 was the beta test for ballot harvesting and vote by mail fraud. It worked a treat.
And then the ‘Vid delivered a totally unexpected gift to the Dems by letting them demand universal vote by mail.
Mark my words. The next election where the Dems take control of Congress and the Presidency, will be the last election without mandatory vote by mail, election security worth a damn, or that the Dems have any chance of losing.
Just the most recent example. There were a number of close races in CA in 2018. By the time the vote counters were done, the Repubs lost every single one.
Yeah and Paul Ryan was flabbergasted, perplexed, and confused. But he didn’t want to make a fuss or god forbid violate some norms, so he just retired instead.
Don’t concede, Gropey Joe, no matter what! We’re working on it!
Yeah, like you’ve been working on it for the past 4 years.
2016: I didn’t lose because the electoral college is not the actual law of the land.
2020: You didn’t really lose because you lost, just don’t concede and bad orange man will not actually be president, because of reasons we haven’t invented yet.
This winter is going to suck.
The implicit assumption is that mail in voters will lean heavily Democrat. If that isn’t a tell that they intend to cheat, I don’t know what is.
But it is true that Dems are much more afraid of COVID and are more likely to vote by mail. As an “no party” voter in MA I was asked which party I was going to vote today in the primary. I wanted to say “do I look like a Democrat?” given I was probably the only voter in my precinct today who voted without a mask. Though yesterday I was planning to vote in the Dem primary but I changed my mind at the last moment.
They’re going to make sure this fucking election only goes one way.

Muh liberal globalism!
“My book Do Morals Matter? rates the 14 presidents since 1945 and gives Trump a formal grade of “incomplete,” but for now he ranks in the bottom quartile.
Top-quartile presidents like Franklin D. Roosevelt saw the mistakes of America’s isolationism in the 1930s and created a liberal international order after 1945.”
Yean, um kay.
“Just before Trump took office, Martin Wolf of The Financial Times described the moment as “the end of both an economic period – that of Western led globalization – and a geopolitical one, the post-cold war ‘unipolar moment’ of a US-led global order.”
Yeah, that would be awful, the end of that New World Order, Dubyah. I mean isn’t there somewhere we should be invading right now?
There might be a point there, but it is heavily shrouded in pro-global socialism bullshit.

Kids don’t like that yucky History stuff, Boomer!

lol, I didn’t even catch that. Lefty journalism, go figure.
That would be the liberal international order that saw the Chinese taken over by Communists and the Soviet empire expanding, with the UN populated mostly by the idiot third sons of second-tier apparatchiks from psychotic dictatorships?
“Trump’s anti-interventionism is relatively popular, but his narrow, transactional definition of US interests, and his skepticism about alliances and multilateral institutions, is not reflective of majority opinion.”
The majority, which was once all for the Vietnam War and Gulf War II and a host of other stupid shit, can suck it.
At least the original Progressives believed that God ordained the U.S. to be his instrument of world salvation.
These fucks have the mission, without the faith.
On the Swissport deal, my read is that the ChiComs got skinned:
I’m not seeing anything in there for the ChiComs to take home. They’ve probably already pocketed a lot of the 1.9BB debt they saddled the company with, though.
I think they spent more than 1.9BB to buy it, but in typical journalistic fashion we are given two currecies to work with and can’t really tell. Regardless, my read is that the ChiComs spent billions on something a few years ago, leveraged the shit out of it, and are selling it now for a loss (which is being shared with whatever idiots loaned them 1.9BB).
I’m not sure how anyone thinks they can do business with commies. Communism does not work, therefore, cheating ensues.
The entire idea that engaging China would make them become more ‘liberal’ did not turn out to be anyway near accurate. Instead they became more communist and got a for life dictator.
It’s the same here, by going further left, we ensure that we will become more illiberal and eventually get a for life dictator. That’s the way it always works.
The cheating isn’t because of communism, it’s because it’s a massive feudal system with a veneer of red paint over it. Sure at the top and outwardly there is symbolism, but its not like what it or the USSR once were.
Mostly accurate but the Chicoms here aren’t the national CCP. HNA is associated and overlaps with the provincial Hainan government though some interesting ownership structures, but more than likely most of the debt wasn’t just pocketed, but went into acquisitions and propped up the money losing parts of HNA Group.
aren’t the national CCP. HNA is associated and overlaps with the provincial Hainan government
How much of a difference is there between the national CCP and the locals? I would have guessed the locals were pretty much a wholly-owned subsidiary.
Honest question.
I think a feudal model is more accurate than a monolithic view, coupled with the usual factions and swirling alliances of politics. As long as they don’t cross whatever red lines there are, carry out whatever directives they’re tasked with, and don’t embarrass/piss off more power/higher levels of government, they’re left alone to manage.
You could see it earlier this year when cargo destined for one province would get impounded or “delayed” by another. Or when the central government slammed Hubei officials for their coronaviruses response, and earlier why the local officials tried to sweep everything under the rug.
The CCP got what they wanted. They have scads of information on tens of millions of people. This is just a different version of the OPM security clearance packets theft.
The Left is panicking.
Biden is on track to lose the Electoral College
A month or so ago, the notion that President Trump would win reelection was dismissed as delusional. No longer.
When the Left panics, nothing good happens.
Sure it does, we refresh our prog tear barrels. Looking for more orphans for the event…
I’m afraid of what they’re willing to do next.
I would be even more afraid if I lived in a blue city.
As it is, the stock market is primed for an epic, history making drop. I can guarantee it happens before the election.
I don’t think this affects the stock market.
They’ll of course do whatever it takes to try to get power. But I think, at this point, the harder they try, the more likely they get an epic ass whooping.
Trump is not going to be so restrained after he wins reelection, and neither are the people who are fed up with this shit.
They’d better go back to their bunker and dream of commie utopia or else they may set off an actual civil war, which they will deeply regret.
We’ll see. I have absolutely no idea what’s going to happen. it’s fucking terrifying. I keep thinking it can’t be so decoupled but it is.
“A month or so ago, the notion that President Trump would win reelection was dismissed as delusional.”
Only by the left wing media. I’ve never thought that he was going to lose. The difference is that now I think Trump will win in as close to a landslide as is possible considering the locked Blue states like CA, NY, MA, MD, etc.
Another whine about the popular vote versus the Electoral College. Panem should be ruled by the elite in Capitol City, by golly. To hell with the serfs. How many people in blue commie zones just don’t vote because they would be wasting their time?
“How many people in blue commie zones just don’t vote because they would be wasting their time?”
The actions of the left are making 100% sure that it will not be as many in the future.
They’ll vote whether they know it or not.
Yeah… I saw this, rolled my eyes, and tapped out.
It’s hard to say. Are the number of discouraged Trump supporters offset by the “why bother to vote cause my favorite Biden is going to win the state anyway.” The Trump voters need to get out, even in deep blue states, because their votes may help a few local Repubs win.
It still kind of amazes me that the media is still so absolutely ensconced in their bubble. This election, as soon as Biden clinched, was about if Biden could successfully paint himself as The Last Moderate Democrat and bring home the white Midwestern voters who swung to Trump.
I think that, broad strokes, people like the New Deal, and they like the Great Society, but they don’t want eco-socialism, and they don’t want racial socialism. There’s zero support among the American people for ending the Old Socialist Programs, but they don’t want any new ones. They believe in cheap energy through fracking, and they also believe in Social Security. They believe in free markets, and they don’t want cuts to Medicare.
The usual Democrat attacks on a GOP as a Social Security and Medicare cutter can’t stick to Trump, because that motherfuckers spends money like its water. Biglier and hugelier deficits every year, just the best deficits very classy printing presses right folks?
Biden is talking about raising people’s taxes, green new deal and reinstating the aca mandate.
If the polls of Blacks and Latinos hold, the Dems are going to lose in a blow out.

Meh. I seem to recall those polls before every Presidential election. “Repub candidate X poised to make inroads” blah blah.
And then the votes get counted, and it turns into a big nothing.
“counted”
I didn’t say “cast” on purpose. There was a time when I would have, but that time is long gone.

Cunte.
Thoroughly corrupt and contemptible
This is not hypocracy. It’s worse. Pelosi just dosn’t believe all this COVID BS. You can bet your ass she cares about her own life. Now way she’d risk it for a wash and perm. It’s all about power and the bad Orangeman. She gives not one shit for the ‘vid. Everything she says is a lie.
Gawd. Listen to me. I didn’t use to sound like this . Fuck!
I feel your pain. It disgusts me that the corruption is so pervasive and the media promotes it like it’s a good thing.
She’s probably taking hydroxychloroquine and zinc as a preventative which actually doesn’t help her as far as hypocrisy goes.
They should be piss tested weekly for it.
Oh, I’m sure she does, but she won’t let it inconvenience her or stop here from her normal pleasures or routines. Notice that the stylist is wearing a mask. If the stylist had taken it off or lingered too close or whatever, one of Pelosi’s aides would have stepped in, maybe after a look if they weren’t on the ball.
“We’re supposed to look up to this woman, right?” Kious said. ”
Oh child, let me show you the darkness that is libertarianism.
Not Nancy. Seems things are working out nicely for her. No prob getting an appointment.
JFC. I mean we knew this type of shit was happening with the pols the whole time. It’s beyond malevolent and disgusting.
Sucks to be the salon owner. If there’s a Pelosi ally somewhere in state government, they’re going to fuck the owner over for crossing her. Any rules violations will be on the owner. Notice how Pelosi’s office does the “we don’t know what the rules are, it’s up to them” shrug and gets away with it.
There statement contradicts the salon owner too
“The Speaker always wears a mask and complies with local COVID requirements. This business offered for the Speaker to come in on Monday and told her they were allowed by the city to have one customer at a time in the business. The Speaker complied with the rules as presented to her by this establishment,” said Drew Hammill, deputy chief of staff for Pelosi.
So the salon offered? They are allowed to serve just one customer at a time? The establishment rules are what?
Man journalism is dead
This business offered for the Speaker to come in on Monday
That would completely contradict what the owner said. Gee, who to believe?
I was baffled by this statement:
Of course she can control what the stylists do. And if they aren’t paying, then they aren’t renting anything.
Yeah the last statement is odd. You can control the space they operate in, its your business.
My guess is owner is looking at “no such thing as bad publicity”, her clients all love Pelosi, and know the media isn’t going to get to the bottom of things.
Hair salons are somewhat more like Uber from talking with my wife, other than ones that employ the cutters as employees. The owner has the name and space and basically rents space (“chair”) to a stylist as may or may not handle client billing. It’s probably a case here where the stylist is doing that as essentially a sublease but either part of the agreement or thanks to state rules, isn’t paying anything while there’s no customer income but they’re still a leaseholder.
A lot of these are being posted but at most it gets a shrug or buried deep on ‘news’ sites with the offenders brushing it off.
Early in the plandemic, Las Vegas gave a huge cutout to allow police officers the ability to get their haircuts because they have “strict appearence standards”.
Govs are seen dining in restricted environments, govs out and about not following their own rules. No one cares and nothing happens.
Our society is dead.
Has anyone noticed that Joe’s Eyes appear Black now? as in no soul Black. I know he had Blue eyes, older video shows that, but now? Really, take a look at his recent “speeches”
He’s a cyborg. Made in China, which is why he’s so glitchy.
Hadn’t thought of that, I was going for more of an Anti Christ kind of feel, but yeah Cyborg works too,
Like one my Korean friends told me back right after they started the Corona panic lock downs, ‘Don’t worry, it won’t last long, it was made in China’.
Yes! Very Stepford.
Really dark blue.
Probably about the same as they used to be.
Its funny, though. I remember him as having lighter blue eyes, too.
Jesus. He always looks lost.
He looks like a smarmy gangster who people owe favors to, but never did any dirty deeds himself because he’s a damned wimp. Somebody has always been cupping his balls for him while he makes a fuck up after fuck up.

‘condoms are given freely while pads are not’, um they don’t do the same thing for 1…

More great ‘political’ stuff. Biden’s campaign volunteers not supposed to talk about “policies.”

WTF? 27!!!
Our society really does have a sickness.
I don’t like the fake entrapment bullshit. That being said, a surprising number of those guys look as pleased as punch in their mugshots.
Doesn’t say how old they thought the ‘kids’ were though. I mean doesn’t make it right, but could make it less ‘wrong’ if they thought they were going to deflower a 17 1/2 or old vs say a 10 year.
That’s only a two mag solution.
Love the Pavlovian reactions to smile. You just got caught trying to diddle a kid.
I’ve never seen so many of what I assume are mugshots with big grins.
For some reason, Tucson puts some kind of gray towel or scarf around their necks and shoulders for mugshots. I assume it helps with facial recognition somehow? Its relatively new (in the last several? years), and I can’t think of any other reason for it.
I was thinking maybe driver license photos.
I wanted a beer so I went to a bar, but the bar’s not serving at the bar, they’re serving tables only. I miss drinking at a bar.
Become Speaker of the House, then you can drink at the bar when you feel like it.
Anytime we go to a pub, the wife and I want to drink at the bar. Otherwise, what is the point?
Yep and all the bars in Nevada are operating at heavy losses (they are allowed to have gaming if it is off to the side and spread out).
What fun is it?
It’s not any fun, that’s my point. It’s like drinking a beer at home. I ain’t paying more for that.
meh come to my bar in va, may not beable to sit at the bar but can still stand at the bar at least and they don’t give a fuck about the masks.
Yeah, having a beer by yourself at a bar is a different thing than having a beer by yourself at a table.
Sitting at a bar alone you are either there to pick up chicks or just had a rough day.
Sitting at a table alone makes you look like an axe murderer
I would have gone with “brooding” v. “pathetic”, but close enough.
Potato patahoe
Also why english matters….you summed up my entire thought in two words
Sitting at a table at a bar is like getting take-out food. It’s not bad, but it undermines the whole going-to-the-bar experience.
They completely killed our favorite bar. Permanently closed. Live music every weekend. Sometimes even good music. Fucking place was a fixture.
I’m missing it all ready. Looked like this!
https://twitter.com/kerpen/status/1300896925177257986
“Germany uses a 30 amplification cycle (Ct) limit, the level at which approximately 90% of U.S. “cases” would be negative per NYT.”
Turns out Germany’s success and why they did better than us is their tests were far less sensitive. The whole thing is such a fucking scam.
Huh, I figured it was reporting requirements but this explains it too.
This is why I disregard the case counts when comparing between countries. Case count is interesting to see the trends, but even that is highly dependent on the number of tests run. The best data is death count since there is an actual body to count, even even that method has its problems.
I wonder if there is a way to find out the Ct limit different states are using? All tests in CO, from what I have been told, have to go through the state labs. Hence the 7 day back log on results. There might be some very nefarious shit going on here.
Since hearing that 90% of some tests would not be positive elsewhere, I’m wondering if New York state has a 30-cyle limit (or similar) as well — they’ve had an anomalously low number of cases compared to many other states (most of the Northeast is similar).
damn keyboard; cyle –> cycle
I suspect their case count is low because they got hit with the virus when there were few tests available.
Ya, that has been what I have been wondering for awhile. A month ago certain places go down and others don’t. I called bullshit on it. I figured they were manipulating numbers just never had an explanation as to how. Hopefully some journalist will grab onto this.
Is there an article in English?
I think I’m heading to Greenville next week to scope out the area. Anyone here from the area?
We’ve narrowed it down to states SC, AZ, and FL.
My wife is saying no to FL and AZ because it’s too hot. So I’m down to SC.
How big a town do you need? Because if you are down for smaller towns, AZ has a ton of them in the mountains. The high in Flagstaff today was below 80. Its not all Sonoran desert hellhole.
Greenville is big enough. There’s an international airport near there and everything else we need.
Yeah, I’ve been to Flagstaff, but it was a long time ago.
I don’t think wife will go for anything smaller than Greenville, to me, it’s the perfect size and amenities.
That is until a million left tards move in after fleeing all the unlivealbe blue cities and vote in exactly what they fled from.
Sadly, I think that ship has sailed for my dreams of ID or NC.
NC, if you are talking Charlotte, yes, you’re too late.
A coworker of mine just got a job in Raleigh and is moving down there. I told him ‘be prepared for culture shock’. And I think that is exactly what he was counting on.
Raleigh was my first choice, or rather somewhere outside of there where I could have minimal acreage. I’ve spent a little bit of time there and driven around a lot.
Too late for the state moving towards purple and then blue is what I meant. Seeing it happen already with VA. I knew a gal who lived across the state line who commuted down to Raleigh. Was very tempting.
And I see my fears might be wrong.
I think you can still enjoy NC for a time. Yes it is home to UNC and Durham, but there is a lot of the state that isn’t progville.
NC has one presidential flip in 35 years and suddenly it’s purple and always in play. It is not. The state legislature has been Tea Party esque since 2010 including staying that way after the shlacking the state got over the transgender bill. The state legislature switched from Dem control to establishment republican in 2000 then as I mentioned to TP in 2010
i am currently live in Durham and hate it especially my zip code. It is a bunch of people sniffing their own farts plus we get property crime from the gangs a mile away.
Wake forest and eastern wake county are mildly progressive or hickville as is eastern johnston county. Hillsborough is my choice to move to its a county over from durham and much more pleasant
You could also enjoy the coast. Some mountain towns outside of Boone and Asheville proper.
I do envision like all the other states by the time my kids are adults it will be time to move elsewhere assuming there are any options left.
Sorry for the spamming but I always miss these states to move to threads
No need to apologize! I love hearing a local talk about it. I haven’t been to Asheville, but I’ve driven to Mt Airy and Charlotte on one side and to Wright Brothers Memorial on the other side.
My company’s office is towards Wake Forest and I’ve spent a couple weeks cumulative there plus another weekend for my brother’s graduation from UNC. I was looking somewhere around Wake Forest for convenience, but I could see how that’s mildly progressive. Number of subdivisions going in or had been built recently from what I saw.
Miss not seeing the Mudcats this year. Only been to handful of minor league parks, but it’s my favorite.
Last year I was looking for a job at the company next door (HQ’ed in Jersey City) which half my IT department transferred to a couple years earlier, until one pal told me they’re only hiring in Durham now.
?
Thanks T&T! That is reassuring so I guess my pipe dream isn’t completely dead. Second part, and the harder part is my personal work situation. Easiest path would have been a transfer to my current company’s office there but that looks like it’s in jeopardy so will have to figure a Plan C. Plus a whole lot of other stuff.
As far as the east coast goes I think Sc and a well chosen places in NC will be enjoyable for a while yet. Certainly some localities are awful.
Sorry to hear plan B fell theough
The truth is, I love where I live now, maybe with a few more acres. It’s far too easy to block out the leftist insanity 95% of the time, and 99.9% of the time when at home.
The research triangle is pretty proggy in general.
It didn’t use to be like that but Duke led the way to the leftist shittiness.
Well with Duke and UNC being 8 miles apart it was just another rivalry. Which university could make their locality more unbearable
NC has great deer seasons and six deer per year limit. That can fill your freezer. Out east in the Neuse River and Pamlico Sound areas it is not proggie at all. However you will get to experience a hurricane a couple of times a decade.
I lived in the Raleigh area when I worked at Ft Bragg. The area from Fuquay-Varina south was opening up with big lots housing areas. With the new NC 55 it is an easy drive to the airport.
I have nothing positive to say about the Fayetteville area, except the silliness is contained.
NC – around Mt. Airy and up into the Blue Ridge out to the TN border was a contender for me (might still be). But it appears my son is settling into Chicago (where his likely future bride is from) which has me considering SW WI / NE IA (or KY outside of Louisville as was suggested). At this point it is wait and see if he is really putting his roots down or not.
Only cross the Pamlico Sound to visit. There are some Proggie folks on the Outer Banks.
All you’ve got around Greenville is BMW and more hillbillies. If you hunkered down in an affordable place like, say, outside Beaufort, you could sneak into Savannah on date night, have all the golf courses you could ever want, and avoid being dead in the middle of the tourist nonsense all the time.
“more hillbillies”
Grew up with them. I’ll take them over the progs any day, every fucking day.
Progs make really nice towns. They always have good restaurants, breweries, fun little funky shops. But then as the town gets bigger and bigger, the progs start saying “We need to welcome the homeless!!!!” and other such nonsensical things. Then if a big corporation or two moves in, they then start getting the tax revenue to really indulge in prog insanity.
A decent sized college town located 1.5 hours drive from the nearest major city, in the middle of a deep red county is the best of both worlds. Just enough progs to set up a decent little strip or two of funky shops and bars and restaurants, but you can hop out ten minutes and shoot guns off your back porch and only see your neighbor when the
Yes, that was nice. It’s now progsville x11.
SC is also too hot.
Greenville is more high elevation. Still hotter than MD, but not insufferable like almost all of FL.
Hmm. Not as bad as I thought.
I still prefer the desert climate, though. Kinda like Wisconsin, there’s several months of the year when there is a nonzero chance that going outdoors will be fatal.
We still get the “Dammit that wind blowing down neck” season, the 30’s is cold, starting in October,
Unless you freeze to death.
I’m not doing the cold. If I wanted to, I’d join Animal in Alaska.
I actually sort of like humidity, keeps your skin more hydrated.
The low real estate prices in FL and the year round warmth in FL is very attractive. Until you look at the actual temps and humidity in the state. IOW, you’re going to be running AC for pretty much 12 months of the year. That’s an expense you have to pay attention to.
I’m rolling 375$ a month for electric in an 800 sq, foot house, Brutal but what can you do?
My avg electric / heat here in MD is about $75 a month for a 1200 sq ft apt.
It’s way lower in winter, about 50-60, and around $100 in summer
So, AC apparently costs more than gas heat. At least around here.
That’s what scares me about FL. Seriously, look at the avg temps in Ocala, where my brother lives, I’m thinking you are looking at, at least a $200 AC bill, year round.
I did not realize how hot it is there . The things you learn when you look.
@hyperion, in winter my bill is about 60$ a month, the house is all electric BTW
This is why we have to eliminate fossil fuels, Yusef, because we loves the people and want energy to become unaffordable for them.

Don’s like the CDC.
Here’s a shitload of numbers, you make sense of it.
That’s fair.
In fairness to me, when I show folks how the psychometric chart works, they just load me up with wives’ tales and anecdotes.
In fairness to all, check out CDD (far right column): fewer cooling degree days tells you that a location is closer to 65°F over the course of a year’s warmer weather.
The chart does do a good job of explaining why California is so desirable.
“The chart does do a good job of explaining why California is so desirable.”
OK, just give me 8% of your money, and I’ll come over and take all your guns.
I do dispute the “it’s a dry heat” argument for Phoenix, but not because I dispute your data, or the concept. My issue is this, while heat, elevation, humidity, and wind all impact perceived temperature that is not all that they do that impacts comfort. Phoenix may feel hotter or cooler than Houston or New Orleans on a given day due to the drier air, but in Phoenix the sun (and sometimes wind) can do things to exposed skin at a speed that will really screw up a person unused to that level of drying/radiation. Whereas in New Orleans and Houston, physical activity can leave you gasping for breath because the air is so saturated with water. In other words we have a wide choice of hells to inhabit, each with their own unique awfulness to savor.
Also, I see you and others calling this psychometrics, but isn’t it actually psychrometrics? Psychometrics is the (largely aspirational) attempt to measure aspects of psychology, and the root word (psyche or soul/mind) is actually not the same as the root word for psychrometrics (psuchron which is the Greek word for cold). (I looked this all up the first time I saw you using the word lol, because I have some minor familiarity with psychometrics in psychology and it seemed really odd that the same word was being used in such a different field.

Hot, Hotter, Hottest, less Hot

They also have free steak!
As a former Panhandle and North Texas resident, I can assure you there are seasons there. The summers are as hot as anyone could want, plus some humidity, and the winters can be shockingly cold for periods of time. There is nothing between North Texas and the Arctic Circle to slow down cold fronts.
Oh, and tornados in the spring.
You mean New California?
Depends on Where in AZ, it’s Deep Red here,
Wait until all the ex San Frans arrive, now that they’ve made their own state unlivable.
Sorry, bro, I know my new state that I choose, will suffer from that same fate.
Sorry, we have to kill them all.
LOL, just kidding. Not really. Yes, just joking.
A lot of the people that leave Cali and similar blue states now will be the right wingers that are finally fed up. I’d bet this just makes Cali bluer and the surrounding states redder.

Nope, that one I cannot believe. Who HASN’T heard that song? Who DOESN’T get up and boogie when it’s on?

I believe I’ve already seen that.
Flight 666 is a good documentary.
Got around to looking up a few Virginia congressional races this afternoon. Sadly I can’t vote for Freitas locally, but going up against Spanberger (after winning a VA delegate election with the most write-in votes ever) is pretty good. He’s very strong on gun rights, etc. too.
The new R Sen candidate – Gade has some decent positions too, but I need to do a little more research.
Mark Warner was one of the RUSSIA1!!!!11111 leaders in the Senate, I’d be ecstatic if he was gone. Don’t see it happening though.
That POS is probably in there until he dies.
The single biggest advantage the Democrats have is the media, and nothing shows it like Mark Warner or any number of other “moderate” Democratic Senators. They just never say anything controversial, and the media never publicizes the wedge issue votes of a Democrat. But they just sit there, quietly voting the way Chuck Schumer tells them, and then in an election year the WaPo will do some stories about how “Virginia Progressives Hope For More From Warner” and “Warner Out Of Step With Growing National Progressive Movement” with some little pull quote from Warner about “He tries to reach across the aisle and find compromise.”
Granted, VA is now a blue state because the useless Republican Party never ever cuts the size of government, and the state GOP is a completely worthless cucked out controlled opposition in the finest tradition of Mitt Rommney. I have heard absolutely nothing about his challenger, despite hearing from Freitas multiple times.
Yup
Warner is just along for the ride and I’m certain he’s profiting quite nicely.

That’s some filter.
Give a trigger warning next time.
Gah! That looks like a pillow stuffed with chunks of styrofoam.
Some rando appears to have gotten copy cat tattoos is what this looks like. Lets get Facebook facial recognition on the case! The fuck if I know who that is or what’s going on.
The underboob sweat stains are a nice touch.
What kind of monster dyes their dog’s hair?!?!?
RE The Hyperion’s search for places to move. I am in the same boat but am a few years away from pulling that pin. (shit to deal with) But when/if I do it will be something like this. I hope. One must dream. Granted a real dream would be a $500,000 Fountaine Pajot but I like to keep my dreams realistic.
Steel hull all the way. Partially submerged cargo containers will ruin your day.
Here you go.

Launch year: 1986………uh ya no thanks. Steel hulls still get holes in them.
Come to Iowa
Really, who wouldn’t want to spend the rest of their lives looking at endless cornfields.
Don’t forget the hills! What’s on the other side of this hill with corn on it? Another hill with corn on it of course.
Obligatory.
They cancelled the Field of Dreams game this year, but maybe next year.
In the middle of January blizzard . . .
Neighbor: Is this hell.
kinnath: No, it’s Iowa.
Field of Dreams is not too far from here. Up closer to where Animal grew up.
LOL
How about waterfalls?
Those are not waterfalls. Minor flows over spillways and parking curbs are not a waterfall.
These are some decent waterfalls from 2017.

How stable are catamarans when transporting entire gun collections?
Depends on who’s asking and whether or not it is on channel 16 or 21.
Not very. Ask me how I know. ?
Tried to watch Hunters on Prime Video.
It’s just lousy.
I thought you needed to be a Ukrainian oligarch or cocaine addled stripper to watch Hunter.
One of the many times Trump says something that would make for an awesome cartoon line, but the press has shit audio.

Saw them live in an intimate venue a few years ago — they can still bring it.
Late to upthread, but I have been in SC 11 months today.
I like it. Its hot and humid here in Charleston area, and I worry what the influx of yankees is doing to the area…its becoming proggier, from what I hear. Still in tgat sweet spot discussed above, but a decade from now might be a different story.
Semi related, my town had a special meeting today to vote on making the mask law a misdemeanor instead of a fine. It failed. So we got that going for us.
I was a sixth floor client at the Mills House for years.
We’re headed to SAV this weekend. Some ways it’s better than CHS; some ways it ain’t; don’t tell NewWife we had this chat.
We are planning to hit Savannah in December.
I like Savannah. Hate the drive though. The last bit to the beach is pretty, but it seems endless.
That’s like highway 1 in California. Fucking beautiful. For fucking ever. You literally get sick of the beauty. Hours and hours of it.
Watch Action USA Hat in action as Trump signs autographs.
Drugs,ass, yesterday, love your animation!
Some one might have posted it yesterday, but was it mentioned he was wearing Action USA hat instead of MAGA Prime?
Action USA hat, if any of you have forgotten.
Trump’s better than Biden but man does he suck:

“Trump gives CDC broad authority to stop evictions during pandemic” Glad I’m not a landlord…
Yes, that’s correct. A centrist Democrat of years past.
And if the egotists in Congress swallowed their pride and stroked his ego they could have passed damn near anything they wanted.
We shall all be thankful for that.
I have paid my rent no matter what, LL has bills too,

I have three main points to make.
1. Responding to Sensei – it isn’t so much ego as it is that most of these people are simply ambitious swamp creatures. They’re in it for the power and status. Compromising with Trump doesn’t get them anything they actually care about.
2. This is a controversial point to make on a libertarian site, I suppose, but there is a certain argument to be made that the government broke things (the entire economy) and a lot of people were, through no fault of their own, left up the creek without a paddle. Is it fair to landlords? No. Are there people who will abuse the situation? Yes. But if we’re going to see government interventions and bailout packages, it makes a lot more sense after the government inflicted the damage as opposed to, say, in 2008 where it was just the typical cronyism.
3. I don’t think we’ll ever see a Republican president again who wouldn’t do similar things. Which basically means you aren’t going to get much better than Trump. The guy the GOP runs for the presidency is always going to be closer to the center. It’s not going to be a Rand Paul. A Rand Paul can’t even get the sort of support on the right that Bernie gets on the left. One party is allowed to drift further to the edges of the political spectrum and the other party gets dragged along with it. Any Republican with a realistic shot of occupying the White House would be doing the exact same thing and actually, much worse right now.
Don’t care if I come off as a Trump apologist. I’m just stating things as I see them. Trump to me is a symbol. A giant fuck you to the powers that be in this country. If you support free speech, if you support the second amendment etc. Trump is the only real option.
Well said Bro,
Any glibs live in St. Louis or Louiseville? On a road trip to these cities and looking for the best things to do in each of them.
Visit where the Rams used to play?…Tour the locations where Escape From New York was shot?…Smoke some weed with Nelly?…that’s all I got.
Disingenuous lying:

Ignore the number of out of state participants arrested now, or thinks like the PDX antifa Snack Van that somehow ended up in the middle of DC riots.
Fake news! All those so called out of state participants that were arrested were released without bail, so they must not have been criminals…
You say without evidence, trumptard.
The mask thing seems to be getting worse, not better. About two dozen people in the last week have ordered me to not just mask up, but also cover my nose, which is like asphyxiating for me.
I’m about at the point of refusing to wear a mask at all, and claiming a medical exemption, and making them get their manager if they don’t back down.
Don’t be that asshole who bitches at the wage workers who are only saying things to you because they’ll lose their jobs if they don’t.
Fuck you, collaborationist. Just because you’re a pussy, don’t assume you have a moral high ground.
