In light of the open siege warfare on democracy, and the American way of life, I decided to do what I try to do and talk about something else.
I get the feeling this will be difficult to do for a few weeks, so I am going to outline a libertarian philosopher until prominent members of the federal government are bound by their feet and lowered headfirst into a vat of boiling oil like the old George Carlin bit, or…until I run out of philosophers. Which puts me somewhere in February.
This is my review Big Sky Brewing Moose Drool Brown Ale:
Lets start with, as they say, the grandaddy of them all: Frederic Bastiat.
Born in southern France in the early 19th century, Bastiat was a classical economist, Freemason, and eventually elected to the French National Assembly. His father was a prominent businessman in his hometown and purchased his estate from the Marquis de Poyanne during the French Revolution. He died at the age of 49 of tuberculosis and apparently muttered to those closest to him the phrase “the truth” as his last words.
The Law, is the work he is best known for. It would be sitting on my bookshelf next to my mostly unread copy of Atlas Shrugged but my younger brother hasn’t given it back to me yet. His signature work is in part a treatise on the proper application of government and his poking fun at various politicians of the day.
The big takeaways from this book is it is here the idea all government action comes only through the use of force.
Its mission is to prevent the rights of one from interfering with those of another, in any one of these things. Law, because it has force for its necessary sanction, can only have the domain of force, which is justice.
“Economic stimulus”, France ca. 1850
He also goes into pointing out logical fallacies of his opponents. A well known example was against protectionist worker unions. In his example he explains candlemakers could in theory petition the government to block out the sun in order to bolster their industry.
This book says nothing about broken windows, he introduces humanity to the broken window fallacy in another work, That Which is Seen, and That Which is Not Seen. A brief explanation can be found here. This is not to be confused with the “broken window theory”, which a garden gnome attempts to explain here. We can probably link the two with the destruction of property having dubious benefits and why Target chose to shut down stores rather than repair. Are we getting too far in the weeds to suggest the glazier won’t be rich if enough shop owners decide Detroit sucks and just move to Tampa?
Whatever, I assume you skipped ahead. So here is the short version:
This beer is proof I can survive in Montana. It was available while I lived in Colorado, but until recently I could not find it in Arizona. Apparently, shopping at Basha’s like a boomer that insists on supporting only local business may be a depressing sight but it did have this one benefit for me that day. Its heavy malts and nutty finish is every bit as good as I remember. Big Sky Brewing Moose Drool Brown Ale: 3.8/5
Are we getting too far in the weeds to suggest the glazier won’t be rich if enough shop owners decide Detroit sucks and just move to Tampa?
Easy-peasy. Just build a wall around Detroit so the shop owners can’t move.
The beer sounds good.
Maybe we can do a/b testing. Wall up half of Detroit and have one half have free markets and one half have socialism and see what side gets closer to utopia.
“But the differential on income equality is so much better on the socialist side’”
Didn’t they try that with Berlin?
They didn’t try real socialism. That messed up the results of the test.
Moose drool sux.
I feel like it was ahead of it’s time.
Them sounds like fightin words.
Back when I was a regular lurker on homebrewtalk’s forums Moose Drool was one of the most requested clone recipes by far.
Back when I homebrewed regularly, the moose drool clone I made was always the quickest floated kegs. Damn stuff always gave me a headache, though.
It sounds good to me,
Bastiat does not sux.
My favorite beer from a Montana brewer is Cold Smoke from Kettlehouse in Missoula. Damn, that stuff is tasty.
MS finally reviews a beer I have seen on the shelves. My copy of The Law sits on my kindle next to Cooked and The Hockey Stick Illusion. Now that I think about it, the fact I don’t own that in dead tree form is a bit disgraceful.
About a year ago I replaced several hundred dead tree books on my shelf with guitar pedals. It was a good move.
I buy hard back books of ebooks I love. They are all in storage right now and I miss looking at them.
Tangentially …
I really liked a little fantasy book set in Detroit where it’s a capitalistic (portrayed affectionately) mecca. Clearly the author loves Detroit and loves capitalism. I really liked it.

Its not Robocop.
Fun fact: I worked on the SUX 6000. Used to drive one down to 7-11 for snacks sometimes. Got gypped out of my wages too.
Thank you for that recommendation. I did enjoy reading the three books. It was a good break while on vacation.
I would think that dragons would be more like “shadowrun dragons”
& I’m really confused how that city would do water and wastewater pipes.
But a great read.
Shadowrun dragons?
Somewhere I still have my ancient Shadowrun books. I should take a look at them because I can’t remember what dragons where like in that game.
While drowning our sorrows in a mug of beer, let’s look on the bright side: Hillary Clinton did not get to name three Supreme Court Justices. Prosit!
But… what if she gets named a SCJ?
John Roberts “commits suicide” and Hillary is appointed Chief Justice?
And the oldest (by a decade) at 82 is Breyer. Biden/Harris are not likely to get any SC appointments in the next 4 years.
(and if they do, it won’t change the makeup of the court)
Unless they add 6 seats to the court, that is.
Six??! Only Six?
Gotta think big.
60.
HE, I took your advice and got some Vitamin D3, which prompted me to buy my Old Man energy drinks, and feed myself better, Thanks!
Great! Glad it’s helping.
I expect the campaign to oust Thomas to begin any day now. ?
I think he’s the oldest and my prediction for Next To Go.
About 72-73
Breyer is the oldest by far and the most dimwitted, even in his heyday.
It depends. What does his wife feed him?
In what other corner of America does someone of such achievement face withering contempt from people who look like him and grew up like him? “I hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early, like many black men do, of heart disease,” Julianne Malveaux, the liberal commentator, once cracked on a talk show.
Never heard of this Malveillante person but if she works for CNN it’s not surprising she’s ignorant about nutrition.
https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/french-english/malveillant
I know enough French that the Quebecois almost always switch to English when I greet them.
Malveaux, according to her wiki page, has appeared on CNN. It doesn’t look like she has worked for CNN.
She seems nice part deux:
On October 22, 1994, on Northwest Airlines Flight 206 from Detroit to Washington, Malveaux swore at a child who accidentally bumped her while she was asleep in her seat, then at a flight attendant who accidentally sprayed her with a can of soda when it opened. When another flight attendant asked her to put away her laptop before the plane landed, she grabbed the woman’s arm. As a result of this she was arrested on landing and charged with assault;[4] she was sentenced to probation.
I’m sick of cans. Especially cans with shitty labels. Make glass bottles great again.
That is one ugly label. Repulsive, even.
As long as aluminum can come into the country and be recycled, cans will be here to stay. Lighter, less breakage, no light in, less oxygen in, cheaper to fill (lines are more expensive to set up), mobile canning lines, stackable on the shelves, and less “other” packaging (no cardboard sleeves needed).
I’m sure it is. But like excessive hops, it’s a shitty development and there’s no need to accept it.
Craft beer, like many things, peaked in the mid to late 90’s and has been going downhill ever since. The selection at the grocery store is worse than its ever been and many fine beers are now gone. But hey, I can drink fermented apple juice and fizzy flavored alcohol so golden age.
I will strongly disagree that the peak was the mid to late 90’s. That was about the time of the first big bust and shake out. I have a feeling that the ‘vid is going to cause another one to happen in the next 12-18 months. The can is superior, as the only way you’re going to taste metal in a modern can is if you’re drinking out of it. Your beer should be poured into a glass (full disclosure: I do not always pour my beer into a glass).
Cans, particularly the Kleenex wall US type, are shitty. A whole generation has been brainwashed into thinking that soda and now beer should come that way.
“Craft beer, like many things, peaked in the mid to late 90’s and has been going downhill ever since. The selection at the grocery store is worse than its ever been and many fine beers are now gone. But hey, I can drink fermented apple juice and fizzy flavored alcohol so golden age.”
Ok Boomer.
I prefer cans. Mostly because I have to lug home anything I buy from the store myself.
that’s why we have Ale Glasses,
This man speaks the truth. You can’t create a makeshift weapon by breaking a can.
No, you have to either fold it down, or rip/cut it (or drop a couple full ones in a bag). A more elegant weapon for a more elegant time.
Or just do what this guy did.
https://mobile.twitter.com/Starscream35/status/1344062033143201794
1. There are no dangerous weapons, only dangerous people.
2. No true libertarian would ever be in a situation where he was forced to fashion a weapon from a soda can. In a free state one should never be more than five seconds from a sidearm, and three minutes from a long gun. In a slave state, one should have some form of innocuous but useful tools close at hand.
Eyeballs do not like forks and table knives.
I keep an eye out for you!
You can make a makeshift pipe, though.
I concur that Moose Drool is a fine beer. From a can? I don’t know about that though. Outside of MT and ID, it is easily found in WA and OR and I even purchased some in Minnesoda from their crappy alcohol establishment.
From a can?
They do that in Europe all the time.
Beats light-struck (e.g., Corona bottles).
I remember when Moose Drool was sold in aluminum bottles.
Attention, Attention. This is a COLD Weather warning. A burst of air from the north is expected to drop our lows to 66 Go to the Moon Degrees by Monday morning. That is all.
Burrrrrr. I am not complaining we are having very warm weather for the time of year with upper 40’s. The sun is shining and what little snow that is left is melting. Ya, sure, the drought cycle continues but that is what cycles do and I am ok with it.
So, if you cook hash browns in too much butter and add way too much cheese, do they become keto? Asking for a friend.
Needs sour cream for the magic chemistry.
I don’t have sour cream. Only eggs and sausage.
Just ate fried potatoes, eggs, and (German) sausage.
Breakfast of champions.
?
I just took the suggestion of the lady at the counter at the Polish grocery. She gave me some layered dish of chicken breast, tomato, onion, and both a semi-soft and a harder type of cheese. HOLY MACKEREL! It was delicious. I’ll have to go back but I was overwhelmed by the sausage selection – they had veal, pork, or beef franks, or specific blends of all three.
That sounds delicious.
if Keto is good, then yes, sounds tasty!
50/50 bacon grease and butter. western is right about sour cream despite him being wildly wrong on cream and carbonara.
This is the sad thing about going to the camps. Great cooks and there won’t be any decent food or drinks.
Don’t be pessimistic, you don’t even know who you’re going to be sharing a cell with yet and they might be very tasty 😉
I don’t know how I screwed that comment up
typing one fingered, two drinks in before one pm?
Don’t make me dig up my carbonara pizza recipe.
If you fasted for the rest of the day… (not kidding)

Figured it was Soft Parade. Short’s is part of Lagunitas, which is part of Heineken. They sold right after they started to distribute to states other then Michigan (their slogan was still Michigan Only, Michigan Always during those times).
Somewhat related, from rumblings I’ve read online, it sounds as if Boston Beer Company (Sam Adams, Twisted Tea, Traveler Shandy, Truly seltzer, Angry Orchard, and a couple others I’m sure I’m missing) may have tipped out of the Craft Beer definition of the Brewer’s Association based on their annual report.
you also know what beers I like, this one intrigued me, it’s nothing special, not very fruity at all,
It _is_ good. It seems to have a higher ABV when it’s on tap.

I watched that live last night – amazing boats. 30+ knots out of ~ 8 knots wind.
I’d love to see them in a good breeze.
Speaking of Montana beers lost in the mists of time… I used to drink a lot of Black Dog, when I was working in Albuquerque (go figger). Haven’t seen it in forever.
Never heard of Black Dog. I did, however, drink boat loads of Black Label. It was the same price point as Schaefer back in the day.
Shiner: Candied Pecan Porter – 3.8/5
It was pretty decent. I was pleasantly surprised the ‘candied’ part was a small hint and not over bearing. It’s a good balance between budget and taste and a nice seasonal. I’ll be buying more.
Capriccio Bubbly Watermelon Sangria – 0.7/5
It was fucking disgusting. 14.9% ABV. I really didn’t like the first swig. I figured maybe it was just the vodka taste was too strong so I blended it with some Simply Lemonade… it was worse. I did suck it up and finish the bottle though. I drink to not be sober and 14.9% ABV is not something I let go to waste!
I also grabbed a sixer of Maguires Draught Stout, another good bang for your buck. I’d say it’s a solid 3/5.
There was another really good one, from a brewer in Helena, as I recall. I think it was called Steamboat Lager. They probably dropped it so they could make more shitty IPA.
Ogden Nash is underquoted.
Absolutely. Also, Thurber.

Germany has such a good history with camps.
Everybody like sitting around the fire singing kumbai and strumming a guitar! Just think of the marshmallows! Those smores will be premium German chocolate! I do find it odd how their camp fires always seem to put off so much ash.
Probably a jail specifically for people who pop positive on a Covid test but refuse to isolate or break quarrantine with a but of rhetorical spin thrown in but close enough. When it comes to anything involving camps or prisons the Russians are entitled by experience to be wary.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/25000-national-guard-troops-approved-to-protect-capitol-ahead-of-biden-inauguration
The jokes on the Dems! Trump got his military parade AND he even managed to get Biden and the Obamas to attend it!
Now Biden can say he got at least 25,000 people to attend his inauguration. Beats the hell out of the 10 cars his campaign rallies drew. Honk, honk!
Exactly. Unity and healing.
“[W]e should take note of the language that the left is using — chemical warfare, insurrection, domestic terrorism,” he said. “That’s not by accident, Sean. There are exquisite authorities in our national laws that allow our government to do things to terrorists that we would never allow against our own people. But in the incoming Biden administration, they want to use national security authorities against MAGA. They’re targeting Mo Brooks, Paul Gosar, Andy Biggs, Louie Gohmert, Madison Cawthorn and myself because we had the nerve to actually stand up and point out the need for election integrity.”
“And we also pointed out their hypocrisy, because for all of the criticism that they have leveled against Donald Trump unfairly, they were the cheerleaders, fundraisers and apologists for the people who burned our cities, attacked our police and were on offense against the very notion of America for months this summer,” Gaetz continued. “They don’t want to account for that. Joe Biden doesn’t want to answer for it. Certainly, Kamala Harris doesn’t. And so, they are going to go after the president and his allies and they’re going to use national security authorities that you should never use against our fellow Americans.”
Thats just conspiracy theories and proves we must silence these folks.
l’m not sure if he’s an oppurtunist or a true believer but he’s dead on here. Short of someone like McVeigh, and maybe not even him (I’m open to discussion), this is incredibly dangerous and should not be done. Actually ever, I’ve convinced myself, not even with Timothy.
Putting on Alex Jones hat – they’ll make something happen whenever they need an excuse for more power. A mass shooting, a covid spike, whatever.
We’re one incident away from the left and the country club right demanding Biden implement the Insurrection Act and the accelerationist nutcases on both sides are well aware. I hope to God nothing happens but we’ll see.
McVeigh was arrested driving away from OKC with no plates on his car. He was carrying a pistol without a permit, and thats what he was arrested for. The thing with McVeigh, as horrible a crime as that was, is that it only happened because of the governments crime at Waco. It’s a quintessential example of blowback.
Odds of the Waco and OKC bombing being seen in the same light as the compromise of 1850 and Bloody Kansas by future historians?
Less than zero.
No bit of (academic) history will remark that McVeigh was a reaction to government wantonly murdering people at Waco (just a year after it wantonly murdered 1/2 a family at Ruby Ridge).
It’ll be because he’s an eViL rIGhT wInG tErRoRiSt!
did I hear that no one will be allowed to the inauguration? is the ‘establishment’ completely isolating themselves away from the deplorables?
Biden will be a president for all Americans*. ///Unity ///Healing ///Reconciliation
*except the deplorable MAGAts, of course.
The most popular President ever elected by an enormous margin according to the vote totals. He needs 30,000 troops and an empty capital to protect him from his adoring fans.
I think they said they were allow a couple hundred protesters inside the Green Zone (and yes, they are officially calling it that.) but the rest would just be official Washington types.
They’re absofuckinglutely going to use that authority and the GOP is going to say nothing because they want the usurpers gone.
This does not end well.
The GOP are just Dems that pretend to have morals with a handful of exceptions and yes, we’re in trouble.
There used to be a sports bar here (long ways from Montana) that had Big Sky beers. I was partial to Trout Slayer, although it looks like they no longer brew that one.
Speaking of conspiracy theories, Alex Jones had someone on squawking about how events unfolding are part of the eternal struggle between good and evil as it pertains to Christianity. Politicians with soulless eyes, such as Nancy Pelosi, are demons working to undo humanity. Idk. I kind of like the alien/lizard-person theory.
That’s actually a sort of coping mechanism, it’s distressing to think that many maybe most people are capable of being Pelosi or worse given the right oppurtunities and incentives.
Commies have been around for a while now. They’re human. They’re extremely destructive and generally miserable human beings. They make good ditch filler.
I’m going with lizard people

“George and Martha- sad, sad, sad…”
Encouraging news, for a change
Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen ordered Thursday that the Gallatin County attorney dismiss a lawsuit against Rocking R Bar for violating a 10 p.m. closing time ordered by the county health board to stem the spread of the coronavirus.
But County Attorney Marty Lambert fired back, rejecting the order and saying that Knudsen didn’t haven’t any say in the matter because the state isn’t a party in the case.
Knudsen directed Lambert to dismiss the case against the bar, according to a news release on Thursday. He said the 10 p.m. closing time “defies commonsense” and is “devastating to Montana workers and small businesses.”
“Our action today is a clear message that we need to safely reopen our economy and will not allow overzealous local governments to hold Montana businesses and their employees hostage,” Knudsen said in the news release.
The Gallatin City-County Board of Health and Health Officer Matt Kelley sued Rocking R Bar after it remained open past 10 p.m. on several occasions despite a warning that it was in violation of the health rules. Rocking R Bar argued that the closing time was arbitrary and unlawful to enforce.
In December, a Gallatin County judge granted the county a preliminary injunction against the bar, ordering it to comply with the health rule until March.
Kelley ought to be swinging from a lamppost.
SCIENCE means you don’t need evidence when you can just make shit up.
Arrest this seditious, insurrectionist, terrorist.
Paul said, “Well, the thing is Laura, you know government. They either underreact or overreact. So, I think there was too little security obviously last week, and now we’re going to become a militarized zone. And they’re checking congressmen as they come in to see if they have a sharp pencil or a sharp pen. So, it’s gotten ridiculous. And so, we’ll see what happens, and whether it’s permanent. But most people who write about civil liberties say that in times of war, or in times of stress, or in times of crisis, you lose your civil liberties very quickly. But it’s very difficult to get them back. Because government, once it grows large, never wants to give up on this. But yes, we have to resist this. And we have to have security, obviously. But I think living in a wartime state with…we have troops in the Capitol. They’re staying in the Capitol. They’re platooning and camping in the Capitol. So, I understand, that last week, we weren’t prepared and that was a real problem, and I regret everything that happened last week with that. But going forward, this week, I think we — there’s a danger of overreacting.”

The fringe news on Youtube is running with a story that Iran was sheltering bin Laden, they set up a decoy, Seal Team 6 went in and killed the decoy, dumped the evidence at sea, and Obama giving Iran $150B to keep their traps shut about it.
Then something about Benghazi being left out to dry because they were smuggling Stingers to Syria thru there.It’s
And there’s documents!
It’s in the way, way, waaaaaaayyyyyy too good to be true category of news. I had to respond to the guy who sent it to me with a “yeahhhhh, righhhhhhhht….”
The Iran stuff is nonsense, the Stingers to Syria probably has a kernel of truth but replace “Stingers” with “small arms.” We were almost certainly funneling arms out of the recently “won” Libyan conflict to the Syrian conflict via Turkey and the embassy or consulate or whatever was likely involved.
My concern is that the media has done such a shitty job of reporting objectively that the conspiracy theories have fertile ground with which to work.
Same goes for all the insurrectionist shit-talk in the media. It’s almost guaranteeing another incident.
What scares me is the amount of people who lapped up all the bullshit they spew. Two guys at work went into a long dissertation about how the cops treated the capitol rioters with kid gloves, yet they would have wholesale slaughtered BLM if it were them rioting. They were fervently asserting this, with no room for doubt. It’s like meeting Rachel Maddow in person. Fucking scary.

“For the last 20 years our biggest concern was international terrorism — ISIS, Al Qaeda,” Bratton said in a Friday evening interview. “Now it’s here and it’s us, and it’s the citizens of the United States, some of whom are rebelling against everything we thought we believed in for the last 300 to 400 years.”
Former Homeland Security Department counterterrorism official, Nate Snyder, echoed Bratton’s sentiments on “The News with Shepard Smith.”
“If you’re talking about the lethality of the threat, domestic terrorism — meaning violent white supremacists, neo-Nazis, sovereign citizens, militia movements — have been the most lethal threat in these past ten years compared to Al Qaeda and ISIS- inspired threats,” Snyder said.
Get with the program or you are an enemy of the state.
400 years? So they mean puritanism?
The writers of the 1619 project are domestic terrorists.
For the last 300-400 years we’ve all believed that one party can lie cheat and steal their way into power and therefore take away all of our rights and money?
The fringe news on Youtube is running with a story that Iran was sheltering bin Laden, they set up a decoy, Seal Team 6 went in and killed the decoy, dumped the evidence at sea, and Obama giving Iran $150B to keep their traps shut about it.

“Russia hacked the 2016 election.”
“Now it’s here and it’s us, and it’s the citizens of the United States, some of whom are rebelling against everything we thought we believed in for the last 300 to 400 years.”
Unfortunately, those people work for the government.
Same goes for all the insurrectionist shit-talk in the media. It’s almost guaranteeing another incident.
They’re knowingly throwing gasoline on the fire.
I pretty sure a peaceful transfer of power doesn’t mean going after people on the side that lost.

They’re doing most of this overreacting as if it were a serious civil war type of seditious act for the benefit of foreign countries.
If you lived in Germany and read American Newspapers, you’d think we had roving gangs of white supremacists enacting violence on minorities, that our healthcare is third worldly, our cities crumbling (some truth to that), elections are vulnerable to right-wing cheaters, and we have millions of homeless people.
This somehow makes reporters think they’ve done a good job in compensating for American success and they can now get accepted into the Eurosnob club.

Woohoo
Gov. Greg Gianforte has reversed some public health restrictions that were implemented by former Gov. Steve Bullock in mid-November as coronavirus cases were surging statewide.
Gianforte, a Republican, announced Wednesday there would no longer be capacity limits on bars, restaurants, breweries, distilleries and casinos, which previously had to operate at 50% capacity and limit tables to six people.
Those businesses may also return to their regular closing times rather than having to shut down at 10 p.m.
——-
The new rules are part of a larger overhaul of the public health rules developed by Bullock.
Gianforte said he has consolidated 25 pages of directives into three pages. He also plans to continue to use the recommendations from his coronavirus task force to revise the state’s pandemic response.
“The whole concept here is we’re going to move to personal responsibility and away from specific mandates because we trust Montanans with their health and the health of their loved ones,” he said.
Gallatin County’s local emergency rules on business operations, which largely align with the previous Bullock directive, remain in place.
The Gallatin City-County Health Board is set to review those rules in February.
“We expect businesses and individuals to continue to comply with these (local) rules,” Gallatin City-County Health Officer Matt Kelley said in an emailed statement. “This disease remains dangerous and the Board will continue to use the best scientific evidence and epidemiological data available to take actions to reduce spread of this dangerous disease.”
Fuck you, Kelley. Eat shit and die.

We know how to parse their lingo and extract something like the truth by reading between the lines and by reading or hearing another side or point of view from alternative sources.
But with big tech, mainstream media, and social networks all completely in the tank for the Dems and the unelected permanent bureaucracy, how long will we even get enough news and alternative takes so that we can make an informed judgment?
I fear that they will be able to stifle some events and news so completely that we don’t even know there’s anything to try to get more facts and POV about.
The Non discussion of Hunter Biden’s ickiness and dubious Ukrainian connections left many Dem voters completely ignorant of the story.
The fact that Eric Swallwell was compromised in a Honey Trap with Chinese Spy Fang Fang is virtually unknown on the left too. As is the fact that the corrupt FBI told Swalwell about it before they took any action so that he was able to tip Fang Fang off and she returned to China.
And Eric Swallwell is not only still a sitting Congressman, he’s on the House Intelligence Committee.
As long as there is a leftie saying “Nothing to see here, move along” , we know there is something there deserving of further scrutiny.
But if they succeed in hiding even the smoke, we won’t know there is fire.
We will know there’s fire, but be treated like the homeless bums who shout out, ” Jesus is coming, the end is near!” When information becomes as hard to get as the ” information age” has made it, ignorance and superstition will rule the day. That always leads advancements for humanity, right? Apparently, there’s a “Sig alert” on the information superhighway.
A link to an ivermectin prophylaxis and early outpatient treatment protocol for those interested (disclaimer: I’m not a doctor and I haven’t looked into this group very deeply but maybe it’s something someone can use):

ivermectin is used to treat roundworm infections
I have never heard of it used to treat viral infections
I guess I have to look into this
the horseshit is piled so high I dont know where to start digging
I bought enough apple flavored ivermectin paste when I first heard rumblings of its effectiveness to deworm a couple of teams of clydesdales off of eBay for about ten bucks. If it really does work I’m set. I won’t use it for prevention though, only maybe if I get it.
That was my reaction too. I’ve used ivermectin in veterinary settings but not for viruses as I recall. Heart worms and a select few types of mites.
There’s a significant amount of real-life evidence for the effectiveness of Ivermectim, although no double-blind studies as yet. The link is to a youtube search results page:
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=australian+doctor+ivermectin
It’s also shown evidence of effectiveness against other viral infections: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32533071/
Nobody’s posted this yet?
I am disappoint.

I reading the book “We Have Been Harmonized” on the recommendation of some Glib (sorry I don’t recall who).
It’s an insightful look by a European who has lived in China and Turkey and knows what crackdowns on freedom look like. The analysis of China and their plans of remaking the world is excellent and very sobering.
BUT
The author cannot help but undermine his own credibility and distract from his thesis by continually expressing his Trump Derangement Syndrome at every opportunity.
He talks about the dangers of propaganda and newspeak etc but then uses Trump and “alternative facts” and “fake news” to show how even the west got THIS close to letting a dictator take over.
Just zero awareness of the left’s actual stifling of free speech and their chilling of expressing heterodox thoughts.
I’m going to continue reading because the Chinese history, philosophy, and plans for the future, and how that looms as a threat to the West is very good. I just wish a reasonable editor had scratched all the stapled-on antitrump signaling. It adds zero to the book while preventing me from being able to recommend the book to others.

I have very little first hand experience with unions. This is my first ever time being a member of one. Mine sucks balls. Last year, they ” negotiated” our raise package. They got us about 2% per year, which is less than the increase in SS benefits. The federal COLA bump was close to double what we got. Now, they’ve “negotiated” a new deal with the city. If we forego our next two installments of the raises they got us last time, the city won’t go on a firing binge. Basically, the city is saying, ” if you give us three grand a piece, we’ll consider waiting before we start firing people to save money” The union is having a vote this week to ratify this bullshit. They strongly recommend that we vote yes on it. Everyone I talk to is voting no. The union, of course, is the entity who will be counting the votes. So, in a nutshell, I’m going to be paying the city 3k to leave me alone for one year, AND I work for them! I’m certain that many will be intentionally reducing their output by 3k’s worth. Not that I would, mind you.
Unions? HAHAHAHA! you asked for it, you got it, good and hard, it’s one of the first things I ask in an interview, and it’s a deal breaker if they are union,

How McConnell and Paul are senators from the same state, voted in by the same electorate, is beyond my comprehension.
A third will leave and another third won’t leave but will just not show up for any votes. It’ll be political suicide but the Republican Party belongs on the ash heap of history. The Dems too but we’re going to have to wait a bit longer for that.
I don’t see the Dems falling apart any time soon. Going hard-left seems to be working out quite well for them, and I’m not hearing any complaints from the rank-and-file.

Those foiling sailboats are amazing.
They are mind-numbingly fast and technical. I am watching the AC challenger race-off and the end of the Vendee Globe. The VG is a solo, non-stop, around the globe race. The leaders have just crossed the equator on their way to the finish and the rear of the fleet is struggling towards Cape Horn.
The racing I do is much more sane than the VG and affordable than the AC.

I went down to check out the Volvo Ocean Race boats when they stopped in Boston a few years ago and did some races in the harbor – really cool stuff & followed them online for the remaining legs.

There was a question about the Arabic equivalent of awomen. I can’t think of one, but here are some tidbits in the same vein:
Like Spanish, all nouns in Arabic are either masculine or feminine. The rub is all the nouns for bad things (war, storm, sickness, etc) are feminine. Um (rhymes with broom) means mother in Arabic. Ummah means motherland and refers to the global community of Muslims. Ummiyah literally means motherhood, but in modern Arabic it means illiteracy, because traditionally, Arab women were not taught how to read. Arab women have been famous as poets and singers even in the days before Islam.
In Egyptian Arabic, aha! (the exclamation of sudden comprehension in English) is the sound of a woman climaxing. So it is best not to say this around Egyptians.
The words liar, fool, and coward are fighting words in the Arab world and are not to be used lightly. Kuss ummak (your mom’s cunt) is the insult of insults and the runner up is ibn sharmutah (son of a whore/bitch).
In Arabic, the word for lieutenant, mulazim, sounds exactly like the words meaning “not necessary” (mu lazim). Arabic military humor can be extremely funny.

Private citizen has an
assholeopinion, puts it on public displayFollowing the announcement that Republican Senator Ted Cruz would attend President-Elect Joe Biden’s inauguration on Wednesday, former Democratic Texas Congressman Beto O’Rourke tweeted his opposition to Cruz attending the ceremony.
According to The Texas Tribune, both Cruz and his fellow Texas Senator John Cornyn confirmed that they plan to attend the inauguration, where Biden will be sworn in as the 46th president.
O’Rourke, who ran against Cruz for his Senate seat in 2018, condemned the senator for his intention to attend, saying he shouldn’t be allowed. The former congressman accused Cruz of sedition and inciting the violent protesters who invaded the Capitol on January 6, which lead to the deaths of five people.

Coon Cheese rebrands in Australia after anti-racism campaign
https://www.bbc.com/news/business-55628966
***
Coon is historically used as a racist slur, and Aboriginal groups have lobbied for its rebranding for decades.
It is one of a number of brands to face pressure to rebrand following last year’s Black Lives Matter movement.
“The name Cheer has the significance of pleasure and joy,” said Saputo’s chief executive Lino Saputo in a statement, adding that it spent more than six months deliberating over the new name.
The cheese got its original name from American pioneering cheese maker Edward William Coon who patented a ripening process in the 1920s.

I would have thought that slur had been restricted to the United States but with the rest of the world now pretending to be living under Jim Crow what do I know.
Worst of the worst
An Arkansas man who became one of the most recognized figures in last week’s Capitol riot after being photographed propping his feet up on a desk in Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office won an order Friday releasing him to house arrest, only to have that ruling overturned hours later.
Following a five-hour hearing Friday afternoon in Arkansas, Richard Barnett, 60, got the permission of a magistrate judge to return home to await trial on charges of entering Capitol grounds with a stun-gun, disorderly conduct and theft.
After Fayetteville, Ark.-based U.S. Magistrate Judge Erin Weidemann announced she planned to release Barnett on “very, very restrictive conditions,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Kim Harris asked that Barnett’s release be delayed for three days so that lawyers from the U.S. Attorney’s office in Washington could appeal the decision.
Soon after the court session, Weidemann issued a brief order denying the stay. She said she was confident Barnett could “easily be taken back into custody should the release order be overturned.”
Prosecutors in Washington immediately filed an emergency appeal and, after 10 p.m. Friday, Chief U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell blocked Barrett’s release. She also granted prosecutors’ request that Barrett be moved from an Arkansas jail to Washington for a new bail hearing next week.
Howell did not offer a rationale for either order. Both were issued without any recorded input from Barrett’s defense lawyer, Anthony Siano.
During the unusually lengthy detention hearing earlier in Arkansas, prosecutors presented Barnett as a dangerous person who had acted deceitfully following the events at the Capitol by turning off the location services on his cell phone, paying only cash and covering his face.
Harris said Barnett had made “a mockery of [Pelosi] and her office.” The prosecutor also said that in the various images of Barnett in the Capitol he seemed to “very much enjoy this moment of fame.”
No mercy. He has committed a sin so abhorrent due process has no validity. He should never be allowed to go free.
They should throw the black hood over his head and just rendition him straight to Gitmo.
Interestingly enough, I consider Benton County, where Barnett is from, to be on the list of acceptable retirement locations in the USA.
It’s got the headquarters for Wal-Mart, almost full local employment, a thriving arts scene, reasonable cost of living, and very low crime.
Like it’s possible!
I was thinking the same
Pelosi did that already
this guy should be jailed for pure stupidity
“a mockery of [Pelosi] and her office.”
Who fucking cares? Is mocking our elites a crime now?

“I don’t see the Dems falling apart any time soon.”
I’m not sure about that. They had to pull out every stop – fake Russian collusion, FBI investigations, impeachment, lockdowns, rioting for 9 months, and lying their asses off, and if you believe it, cheating – and they STILL only beat Trump by a small margin, lost ground in the house, and have a split senate. Normally when they win, they just assume people will keep voting for them because of the awesome things they do. But not this time. They are pushing for censorship, a crackdown on “domestic terrorists” and expelling members of the other party. Those aren’t the actions of a party that is confident they have a majority of Americans on their side.
One thing they did is completely trash their relationship with unions. A lot of union people voted for Trump because he promised to be on their side, while Clinton took them for granted. The same thing happened with Old Joe. I don’t recall a single time he said “I know a lot of working class people voted for Trump, but I can do better.” Instead he and the rest of the party not only ignored them, but added insult to injury and called them white supremacists for supporting Trump. Then they fucked over the police unions by allowing rioting and calling for defunding the cops. (In Chicago, Lightfoot played it smart by backing the cops and not allowing rioting to go on). This year the national police union endorsed a Republican for the first time in decades.
Once Joe snuggles up to China and undoes Trump’s protections, and the squad have their way with defunding police, it’s going to get ugly. I think the unions (both cop and otherwise) are up for grabs, and if the Republicans (or Rand Paul’s possible splinter group) are smart they’ll figure that out.
I dunno if I believe it but if it’s true, none of the rest of that stuff matters.
Either that, or I’m just being a negative Nelly today.
I will go one step further and say that’s true even if it appears there was cheating. Personally, I’m not confident that there was or was not cheating, and therein lies the problem. We need to be sure of that, and we aren’t. As of right now, I don’t plan on voting again. But a lot can happen in a few years.
This is where I’m at.
I’m just not sure, and that’s bad.
And what makes it bad is the underlying reason why: we can no longer trust any source. The media is in the tank for Team Blue. They provide cover. Social Media is in the tank for Team Blue. They provide cover, and minimize, if not completely block Republicans. We can’t trust anything we read or see.
They’ve always cheated. By they, I mean the dems and the pubs. Neither side really has a problem with it since it’s an entry barrier for outsiders.
