Trump used Mexico as a “political piñata” in an effort to rile his electoral base: Mexicans were “rapists” and “criminals,” the United States was besieged by caravans of illegal immigrants, and NAFTA was a bad deal that needed to be renegotiated in order to defend American interests. These recurrent themes translated into policies—such as the construction of a wall on parts of the U.S.-Mexican border—that placed Mexico on the defensive due to the asymmetry in the relationship.
George Lopez made a joke about Mexicans being in supplemental 
oxygen. He took the microphone wire, ran it under his nose, then pretended to smoke a cigarette.

I’m sure there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth from the left about this abuse of executive orders in defiance of actual legislation.
Maybe they can go the whole year without Congress passing a single bill – just work by EO!

One of my prog friends was surprisingly honest about this back in 2017. She was weeping over Trump’s EO on immigration. I made the comment about, well Obama (and others) spent a lot of time governing by EO. Her response was “oh, I have no problems governing by EO, I just don’t like this one.”
An attitude which, of course, raises the political stakes and makes things more vicious.

This is why DC needs statehood
In the pantheon of confusing and dangerous D.C. intersections, “Dave Thomas Circle” in Northeast certainly ranks high. But, perhaps, not for long.
Mayor Muriel Bowser’s office late Monday said that the District acquired the Wendy’s-centric intersection of New York Avenue NE, Florida Avenue NE and First Street NE through eminent domain.
The plan now is to redesign the maligned spot to make it safer.
“Almost every Washingtonian has their own Dave Thomas Circle horror story. Now, we are taking the necessary actions to transform this confusing intersection into a multimodal project that supports the current and future needs of D.C. drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians,” Bowser said in a release.
Now they need a fifty billion dollar grant from the Dept of Transportation to turn that Wendy’s into a showpiece of urban planning. And a roundabout.
Trump never would have let them do it.
Dave Thomas was white. I think we all know what is going on here.
I was expecting her to paint “BLM” on it and be done with it.

There are no vaccine resistant strains of Covid.
It’s why the vaccines were designed the way they were.
Even the Russian one which is not a mRNA vaccine?
I don’t know anything about the Russian one (or if it’s even real), but the US mRNA vaccines are designed to inject their payload (via modified adenovirus) into your own cells to produce the spike protein characteristic of COVID 19.
They picked a very specific part of the protein; namely, the part that binds to human ACE2 receptors (which is what allows humans to be infected).
If the virus mutates enough that it’s no longer recognized by the antibodies created by the vaccine, it will will also no longer be infectious to humans.
I did some quick research. I’m wrong about the Russian vaccine, I was thinking it was an attenuated virus. It’s not, it uses modified adenovirus to encode a spike.
If I’m reading this article correctly, mRNA vaccines don’t use adenovirus.
My bad. It’s the DNA ones that use Adenovirus. mRNA use a lipid excipient.
Either way, it looks like they’re using different techniques to accomplish the same thing.
That one only makes you vote for Trump.
Israel is the world leader in vaccination against Covid. But the situation is not getting drastically better, so health officials blame virus mutation.
You’re a flyertalk guy, right?
Have you ever done a Marriott mattress run?
I’ve never done a mattress run. I have a Hilton card that gives me the diamond status.
I have platinum with Marriot. They just deposited 50% of the required nights into my account, so I’m about a week away from Titanium.
Aaaaand it may have just backfired.
I found the only Category 1 in California (Bakersfield) and booked a night there tonight.
I thought I could do the mobile key/check in.
Just got a text. I’ve been upgraded, and I have to go to the front desk to pick up the key.
If one wants to do a mattress run then now is probably a good time. Hotel rates can be very low. And hotels, unlike airlines, don’t require dollar spending.
I hope they stay cheap. For now, I’m going to move further away from my clients. If they ever decide I need to come into the office a couple days a week again. I’ll just drive over and rent a hotel for a couple days and go back. Getting as far away from here as possible is worth a 4 hour commute.
You should have found a hotel within driving distance. I actually stayed in hotels in California in 2020 more than ever before. We would just drive somewhere, like San Luis Obispo, on the weekend.
Category 1 hotels are 4000 points a night (off peak). Redeem 4 nights, get the 5th night free.
So, essentially 5 nights for 16,000 points.
Points Guy (and my calculations concur) have Bonvoy points at 8/10ths of a cent.
So 5 nights at a category 1 is the equivalent of $128, and no taxes.
The lowest category around here is category 4, so it’s a non starter unless I actually stay there and enjoy it.
I think checking in in person cannot be avoided. But after that you can drive home right away. Call the reception after five days and check out by phone. Leave the keys inside the room.
I stayed in Phoenix on Saturday night. I never had to go to the front desk to check in.
The only reason I went to the desk at all was the next morning to pick up my breakfast voucher.
Mutating viruses are less deadly, no? I mean, that’s the whole point — mutate to be more contagious but don’t kill your host.
The mutations are random. Almost all of them are essentially typ0s that do nothing. However, it can mutate to be more contagious, less contagious, more deadly, or less deadly. Although more contagious or less deadly has an evolutionary advantage.

“I feel happy! I feel happy!”
So, as I started reading the USC, in accordance with my post in the earlier post,
right there in 1 USC 1, I find this gem:
“In determining the meaning of any Act of Congress, unless the context indicates otherwise—
…
the words “insane” and “insane person” shall include every idiot, insane person, and person non compos mentis;”
There you have it. Every idiot is legally insane, by act of congress.
But not imbeciles and morons.
I just went back and read that post, and I’m astonished although not surprised at your estimate for the time it would take to read the federal law: 13 years. And that’s just the law as it is right now, not taking into consideration all the changes that would be made to it over the course of that time, since Congress must always be “doing something”. There are way too many laws. A good amendment to the US Constitution would be that any law not passed by a supermajority (I’d set it at 2/3rds, the level needed to send a Constitutional amendment to the states) would automatically sunset after eight years. Another good amendment would be one limiting the length of any bill that can be voted on (1,000 words?), to prevent the omnibus terrors we are subjected to.
We hereby allocate 1.9 trillion dollars to the executive branch to spend as it sees fit.
Done.
That would be more entertaining and perhaps even less wasteful than the situation we have now. Currently the executive is required to spend whatever stupid amount on whatever stupid specific thing Congress dictates – if they just gave the executive a blank check, there would probably be fewer stupid expenditures. Not saying that would be a good situation, just that where we are right now is such a mess I could see it being an improvement.
Yeah, that made me feel even more hopeless. 440-plus agencies and 13 reading-years of laws.
Fuck this ride, I want to get off.
Meanwhile, in left coast collectivist circles
Kroger Co. will close two Southern California supermarkets in response to a local ordinance requiring extra pay for certain grocery employees working during the pandemic.
The decision announced by the company Monday follows a unanimous vote last month by the Long Beach City Council mandating a 120-day increase of $4 an hour for employees of supermarkets with at least 300 employees nationwide and more than 15 in Long Beach.
Kroger said it will close a Ralphs market and a Food 4 Less on April 17, the Press-Telegram reported.
“As a result of the City of Long Beach’s decision to pass an ordinance mandating Extra Pay for grocery workers, we have made the difficult decision to permanently close long-struggling store locations in Long Beach,” the company said in a statement.
——-
A city statement characterized Kroger’s decision as “unfortunate for workers, shoppers and the company.”

I bet we’ll see something about them trying to force the Grocery stores to stop. Or better “We’ll just provide our own city grocery store”!

They’re just giving those grocery store employees more choices. They could become artists now.

The Mexican government doesn’t currently allow importation of oxygen tanks from the USA? I think I see part of the problem.
Peru has announced new lockdowns for 10 of its 25 regions, including the capital Lima, as Covid-19 cases rise and hospitals reach a breaking point. The lockdowns will start on January 31.

I wouldn’t be terribly surprised if some of the shortage was Americans were crossing over and buying up all the tanks from Northern Mexican states….because they’re cheaper due to being subsidized by the Mexican government.
I know of some pretty good logistics networks in Mexico that might be able to help.

If the Peruvian Army shoots you for violating lockdown it counts as a COVID-related death?
Yes.
A story to make a Minnesoda proggies head spin. They don’t know whether to hate I-94 between Minneapolis and St. Paul because it enables Climate Change, or because it started out as a Racist Hiway (a black neighborhood was bulldozed when they built it) or what.
But yeah, those shitlords at the DOT better not try to improve or expand that freeway now that it has pretty much aged beyond its expected lifespan!
The Minneapolis City Council not only will not allow more lanes to be added when the freeway is rebuilt, but it is going to demand that at least one existing lane will be used for dedicated buses and carpoolers. This is despite the fact that they spent billions building and operating a light rail line between the downtowns.
I seem to be the only one who questions the notion of countries accurately calculating something like carbon emissions. Especially when bureaucrats are incentivized to tout their own accomplishments or entire governments have reason to play up their progress. But the idea of individual states doing it is even more moronic to me.
Minnesoda has an insanely busy/effective PR campaign for solar and wind energy. The local media is always printing out press releases touting how many good paying jobs are created by them building solar and wind farms.
The journalos never do any digging to see how much taxpayer subsidies are needed to “create” those jobs.
But the govt loves to tout how much electricity is now being generated by renewables. There was a kerfuffle a while back because the PUC was actually going to raise rates for electricity and said it was because renewables cost so much more. The state bureaucrats were not happy. I think they finally settled for a smaller rate increase with no mention of why and in return the general fund paid for the rest.
The Minneapolis City Council not only will not allow more lanes to be added when the freeway is rebuilt
How does the Minneapolis City Council have any say? I live in Texas and work in/adjacent to the highway construction industry, and here all highways are in state ROW, meaning the state owns the property the highways are on and controls every aspect of the highway design and control. Now, sure, the state DOT does try to play nice with the cities, but when push comes to shove the cities can take a hike. Are things done differently in Minnesota?
I thought elephants were reasonably intelligent. ?♂️
Minnesodans will never hear the end of the fact that the freeway bulldozed its way through a black neighborhood when it was built. We are told that it was totes racism that the freeway was put there. If you try to point out that the neighborhood was directly between the two major downtowns, where did you expect them to route the freeway, you will be called many bad names.
Wasn’t it their beloved state doing the bulldozing?
Shush, you.
It was the worst combination of progressive slum-clearance policy and the practicality of running the highways where the land was cheapest. Progressives believed, perhaps still do, that if you bulldoze the slums that the residents will occupy the notionally-available budget housing in better neighborhoods, thus deconcentrating poverty.
SpaceX managed a pretty serious belly flop with SN9, but so far the facility and SN10, erected nearby on its launch platform, seems to have largely survived. Not 100% sure whether all the shrapnel missed it…
actually it landed on its back; final rotation to vertical went over because one of the engines failed to ignite and the controls couldn’t react to the rotating moment fast enough without its thrust.
I’m a bit surprised they decided to do 2 engines for the flip instead of all 3. Perhaps they cant gimbal them all in the necessary pattern. With three lit, you should be able to throttle up two of them and compensate if one doesn’t light. It’s clear that just one isn’t enough.

“There’ll be time to have that discussion. I think we’ll be healthier to wean off these extraordinary measures,” he said. “But right now we’re in the teeth of this pandemic, and so I think we should be aggressive.”

On Monday morning, the bronze statue of President Abraham Lincoln in Julia Davis Park was defaced, temporarily. A red substance — meant to signify blood — was smeared across the effigy of the 16th president of the United States.
Police responded to report of vandalism at the “Seated Lincoln” statue at 8 a.m. A short time later, Boise Parks and Recreation crews cleaned up “paint, feces and signs” on or near the statue, the Boise Police Department said in a news release. The statue sustained no permanent damage.
In statements released Monday afternoon, Boise Mayor Lauren McLean called the vandalism “a terrible act,” and Police Chief Ryan Lee said, “Defacing a venerated object to provoke an emotional response will not help us rise to our better selves.”

Also, why would the racist white debbil establishment intentionally destroy black people’s neighborhoods in the certain knowledge the residents are going to disperse throughout the city? If they hate them so much, why not keep them penned in?
It always comes down to those with the least clout get steamrollered. You were not going to bulldoze tony neighborhoods or country clubs.
Not just clout, but also expense. With eminent domain you are supposed to pay out the fair market value of the property, so if the people in charge of the project are in any way budget conscious (not a guarantee, especially in the government) they would naturally look for the cheapest land to purchase. Although, since clout often flows from wealth, which is related to high property values, these two things kind of go hand in glove.

OMG 37,000 a year!! COVID has nuttin’ on “gun violence”!
It includes accidents and suicides.
Yep.
In Canada, suicides are approximately 80% of all gun deaths, IIRC my RCMP-certified safety course material. That inconvenient little fact is virtually never mentioned when discussing firearm deaths in Canada, although when it is mentioned in my presence, the speaker usually opines that if we got rid of guns, there’d be so many fewer suicides. It usually causes their head to swell painfully when I ask them if, considering I own my own body (“my body, my choice”), I should have the right to end my life in as quick and painless a way as possible, and if so, what have they got against firearms for said purpose? Always entertaining.

The local MSPs will debate whether to pass an ‘Unexplained Wealth Order’, which though non-binding, will put pressure on Nicola Sturgeon, the left-separatist leader of Scotland’s devolved government, to investigate Mr Trump.
The co-leader of the Scottish Green Party, Patrick Harvie, who introduced the measure for debate, told The Scotsman: “The Scottish Government has tried to avoid the question of investigating Donald Trump’s wealth for far too long. There are serious concerns about how he financed the cash purchases of his Scottish golf courses, but no investigation has ever taken place.
“Nicola Sturgeon’s claims that it has nothing to do with her have been shown to be untrue. It’s long past time the government demonstrated that Scotland cannot be a country where anyone with the money can buy whatever land and property they want, no questions asked.
“That’s why I’m bringing this vote to Parliament. The government must seek an unexplained wealth order to shine a light on Trump’s shadowy dealings.”
Now try Congress members who have been in office for decades on a government salary maintaining two households (one in DC and the other in the home state) managing to become millionaires.

“Control of the U.S. Senate was on the line, but many Georgia Republicans — at least some deterred by Donald Trump’s loss — stayed home rather than cast ballots in January’s runoffs.
Their absence at the polls helped swing Georgia and the Senate to the Democrats.

Victor Davis Hanson made the point that with Trump giving speeches about how the whole vote was rigged against Republicans, it might have kept a bunch of them at home. Plus, it made him look like a sore loser.
Yeah, it was an interesting tactical blunder for someone who didn’t normally make ’em. I think everything to do with the ‘Vid really threw him off his bullshit game.
Trump should have given a gracious concession speech like everybody else in the GOP aspires to, right?
Seeing as he lost, Yes, yes he should have.
Sorry, juris imprudent does it better.
Fuck you you fucking mendacious fucking cunt fucker!!!!!
Moves borscht’tard up the list.
But not to first.
I mean, it’s not at all surprising that Donald Trump would act like a sore loser, but the Republican party of Georgia didn’t do anything to counter the “vote was rigged” narrative, they basically just said “everything’s fine” even though there was video of things that looked rather fishy. If any state had a rigged election, it was most likely Georgia. Why should people come out to support you if you aren’t going to take election security seriously?
Pretty much this, the state Republicans told their voters to take their concerns and shove them up their asses and then come out and vote for our shitty candidates because the other guys suck and the voters stayed home instead. Well, that and a lot of usually politically uninvolved people who voted primarily for Trump but also Republican down the ticket didn’t show up for the runoff because they felt, right or wrong, that Trump was being screwed by his own party.
Put up candidates that people want to vote for, give real answers to questions about election integrity, or don’t come crying to me.
That eliminates anyone other than Massie or Rand.
Can we clone them?
Their absence at the polls helped swing Georgia and the Senate to the Democrats
Yeah, I don’t fucking believe you. Maybe they did, maybe they didn’t. Until we have transparent elections, I don’t buy any of the bullshit.
Good album:
Do The Collapse
Minnasoda nice and retarded
A city-assisted plan to convert a former auto repair shop on Milwaukee’s north side into a gardening business has been dropped.
It turns out the building already is being used by a child care business — which Milwaukee officials don’t want to displace.
That fact came to light when the business operator read the Journal Sentinel’s coverage of the development proposal.
——-
The city planned to obtain the building through property tax foreclosure.
It is owned by Dykeman Properties 1726 LLC and hasn’t paid its property taxes since 2017, according to a Department of City Development report. That delinquent bill, including interest and penalties, totals $81,260, it said.
The July proposal called for the city to acquire the property and then sell it and an adjacent city-owned vacant lot, at 1722 W. Lloyd St., for $3,500 to Adams Garden Park LLC, operated by neighborhood activists Sharon and Larry Adams.
——-
But, city officials were contacted by Charlotte Randolph. She leases the building for her child care facility — Apple Tree Educational Services LLC.
Randolph learned about the garden center plans after reading a Journal Sentinel article about the project.
——-
Department officials had assumed the building was vacant, said Jeff Fleming, Department of City Development spokesman.
Move along, nothing to see here. Send somebody out to look at the place? That’s crazy talk.
You can’t condemn a whole government because of one little slip-up. I’m sure there are many fine people running the City of Milwaukee.
The retarded are the ones who think Milwaukee is in Minnesota.
Geography might not be my best subject. Oops.
Still a classic tale of urban graft and self-dealing.
I’m listening to this latest Bee podcast. Interview with the guy who wrote the book on the “libertarian” takeover of Grafton, NH. It’s pointless to try distancing yourself from these crazy people because then you just sound like “not real socialism”. It sounds pretty bad.
Alright, good night all!
It’s not even 7PM in real American time. I still have pants on. Where are you going?
You just can’t stop grabbing a tiger by the tail, can you?
I think I’m onto something.
I’ve started to notice some patterns relating to a certain point.
And one of them concerns my clients calling ‘snow days’. They had a rare snow day on Monday. 2 inches of snow and it’s a snow day. However, the next day there was 5 inches of snow and about 1/4″ of ice in between layers, and no snow day. Why, because the prediction said huge blizzard that turned out to be 2″ of snow, and the prediction that the huge storm was over resulted in 3 more inches of snow and a bunch of ice.
Now this is when I started seeing just more proof of this: They never call a snow day based on reality. It is ALWAYS about forecasts. So, basically, if the weather channel predicts 12″ of snow tonight, it doesn’t matter one bit that we wake up and there’s 1/8″ of snow, there will be a snow day. Or, if there’s no forecast of snow, we can wake up to 2 feet of the stuff, and there’s no snow day. There’s never any exception to this rule.
So what I’m discovering, is that more and more in today’s world, everything is based on forecasts. Never on reality. So, if I say the planet will warm by 5 degrees Celsius over the next 10 years, we must devastate total economies to try to reduce this extreme change, that has not happened yet. And it don’t matter if I’ve been predicting that for the past 30 years and have been dead wrong every single time.
So, if you want to start a really great career, get into forecasting something, making predictions, and pulling shit out of your ass, building a model for your predictions. You will get paid obscene amounts of money, no matter if you are dead wrong time after time and have never been right a single time, ever. You can just keep doing it and swimming in cash. Because there is no longer a single person in society who can look out the window to see if it’s fucking raining. I chose the wrong career.
I was going to make a comment on your obsession with measuring things, but you actually made a point and I don’t want your homosexuality to distract from that.
I’d throw in the expertism bias. The experts said it so it must be so, reality be damned.
As someone who works with models, I can confirm.
This doesn’t make me think there was no voter fraud. This makes me think Dominion is threatening everyone with lawsuits because they know they are up to no good.

I doubt Dominion was an issue. Just part of Republican scatter shooting.
There’s really no other reason why they’d be doing that. Otherwise, they’d be all smug in their vindication. They’re acting guilty as fuck, because they’re guilty as fuck and they think the lawsuits will keep anyone from looking closer.
It seems risky at best, but I’m sure they expect complete protection by the goons they just got elected.
Never trust a statement made under duress.
Cathy Young has been frothing at the mouth for days as she goes after James Lindsay for saying this. My take on his tweet is that Woke Jews cause more anti Semitism. I don’t see the problem at all. If white guys were running around Tokyo calling all the Japanese people “racist”, I’d expect that to cause a rise in anti white guy sentiment. Doesn’t make it right, just that it would. Am I missing something?
https://twitter.com/CathyYoung63/status/1356730073651494925
It’s just someone trying to turn a statement of the obvious to political advantage, IOW Twitter SOP.
My guess is that she is all verklempt about James not doing the obligatory disclaimer “This is bigotry and and I bravely stand against it” before he made his main statement.
Is she also frothing about the lefty wokesters also being anti-Semitic?
Are you kidding me? The left have always been hardcore anti-Semite. It’s OK when they do it.
Check out her feed. No, she hasn’t. Looks completely unhinged to me.
“How the Biden Administration Can Help Solve Our Reality Crisis”
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/02/technology/biden-reality-crisis-misinformation.html?referringSource=articleShare
“Appoint a ‘reality czar.’” LOL go fuck yourself.
A man with dementia is going to “solve our reality crisis”. Ok. Whatever you say.
What do you mean? Marxists have a firm understanding of reality and human nature. I mean, come on.
Just because they don’t believe in Paradise with a passel of virgins does not make them reality-based.
I just can’t imagine any negative consequences from that.
I really loved the proposed democracy czar by some other idiot.
Democracy, freedom to Die!
Good. We can treat him like the last Czar.
Bullets are hard…….
The irony of the modern left, pining for czars.
In fairness, if this czar wants to scourge un-reality from the body politic, let him start with Russian collusion.
It’s different when we do it, #562,890
“NEW: The Biden admin is reopening an overflow facility in Texas for unaccompanied migrant children apprehended at the US-Mexico border. It comes amid an increase in apprehensions + reduced capacity limits at other facilities due to Covid-19.”
