Lot of stuff about vaccine passports in the news, and I’m here wondering what made them think nobody wasn’t going to notice they skipped the dystopian novels of our youth and proceeded directly to the Book of Revelation.

At any rate, there are plenty of Mexicans in the news, so I am going to steer clear of a few things you probably already got around to discussing.

 

Mexico underreported their COVID deaths, which makes me confident their new figure is accurate.

I stayed at one of these bubble hotels in Ireland.  It can be fun but it was in the woods outside of Belfast, so I assume it would be like being stuck inside a pressure cooker in Mexico.

I’m not exactly some kind of environmentalist, but even I think this is cruel.

No volunteers? No problem!

See? It can’t be that hard to fire terrible government bureaucrats.

Primus sucks.  Enjoy your day.

    “A judge on Monday ordered three men charged in an alleged plot to kidnap Democratic Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer over her coronavirus restrictions to stand trial.

    Jackson County District Court Judge Michael Klaeren ruled there was enough evidence and bound over Paul Bellar, 21, Pete Musico, 42, and his son-in-law Joe Morrison, 26, to circuit court for trial.

    However, Klearen threw out charges for communicating a threat of terrorism as there wasn’t enough probable cause in the case…

    The ruling comes as one of the 14 men, Ty Garbin, 25, pleaded guilty in January to conspiracy and admitted that the group discussed a scheme to snatch Whitmer at her lakeside vacation home and destroy a bridge to slow down police.”

    I’m a big fan of Jefferson’s writings. His principles were sound, despite the fact that he didn’t always live up to them.

    I’ve toyed with starting a website called “The Jeffersonian” which would follow the format laid out by Thomas Jefferson in the second paragraph.

    I’ve pondered a private system similar to what doctors and lawyers use to police their professions. Board certified journalists. Agree to an honorable set of principles and call certified journalists in front of the board for failure to meet them.

    Not a perfect solution, but it’s free market.

    carrying over a discussion from previous thread. I’ll have to assent to the experience of legally and medically inclined, but IMO the threat of being sued for malpractice does far more to keep Doctors and lawyers in line than reprimands from professional organizations. I used to be interested in professional orgs, but the more i’ve seen of what goes on the more i realize that they have little to do with keeping standards up in the profession and more about covering up shit that goes on in the profession.

    Reposting from forum:

    Just got the latest edition of Johns Hopkins Magazine. They’re very much into gender affirmation surgeries these days, a huge swing from the way they used to be. The vast majority of the article deals with adults, but right at the end they slip this humdinger in:

    Boucher is still on their journey. Three years after that first phalloplasty surgery, they are hoping to undergo facial surgery with Coon. They want to drive from their home in Dallas out to the countryside and not feel at risk of being outed as trans. They want to decide when, how, and with whom to share their medical history, rather than having the shadows cast by their brow, the amount of fat in their cheeks, or the angle of their nose send the wrong message about their gender. They want to work as a school administrator without children asking if they are a man or a woman. And, yes, Boucher recognizes the irony: If they had been less pretty as a woman, they wouldn’t struggle with how feminine their features remain even after years of testosterone.

    For now, though, surgery has to wait. Their wife, a chef, was laid off owing to the pandemic, and Boucher’s insurance through the state of Texas doesn’t cover gender affirmation surgeries.

    Boucher is grateful that their 12-year-old daughter, who is trans, is able to take medicine to block the testosterone her body would produce during puberty. “She will probably not need facial surgery to undo what testosterone would do to her face,” Boucher says. And they are grateful that they don’t have to worry about her like they used to.

    “One of my fears was that my daughter would get bad medical care, get taken in by a crank or fake therapist,” Boucher says. “Knowing that this Hopkins center exists and will be there for her when she needs it has eased my worries. There are medical guardians out there doing the right thing.”

    I can remain neutral on the subject of adult transgenderism (as long as I’m not forced to pay for someone’s transition). But I draw the line at children. I simply cannot condone or ignore what I consider to be abuse of children by adults that are projecting their desires onto them.

    • Semi-Spartan Dad

      So this trans person has a prepubescent child who decided he was trans also and is undergoing medical therapeutics to destroy any chance of a normal life before reaching adulthood? Am I reading that correctly?

      I’m sure that child made the decision completely on his own without any manipulation coercion brainwashing influence from the parent.

      • Scruffy Nerfherder

        You are reading it correctly.

        And Johns Hopkins University is facilitating it.

        I have to wonder if they’re going to be revisiting this issue decades from now in the same way they’re currently wringing their hands over Hopkins’ purported slave ownership.

  12. Scruffy Nerfherder

    A college acquaintance that just can’t quite grok it:

    Feeling sick, disgusted and angry. As most of you know I don’t usually post things of this nature – people of our generation grew up with quite a bit of racism – it was just an accepted part of being a minority living in the US – you just moved on, grew a tough skin and was just hopeful for a future where these things like these were something of the past – where people looked beyond color and generational concepts of racism literally died off. Well lately that hope has been shattered or at the very least comprised.
    I was born in NYC – typically a place i would describe as a dizzying multitude of cultures have come together to live, share and celebrate their ethnic diversity – but upon further reflection – my memories betray me. As a child, I starkly remember the ethnic strife in the streets still raw from 60s and with the new immigration policies instituted in 1965 being part of an ocean of various ethnic groups coming to the US in my case Queens – all just trying to get by – palpable and direct racism – not only from the establishment but it was ethnic group vs ethnic group. I learned through history this was nothing new. Especially in NYC – with the tradition of the Italians, Germans and Polish before us. It would just take some time right? NYC was the super concentrated microcosm of the American experiment. This was 40 years ago and then this shit happens.
    To hear of another person of color just, brutally attack an innocent old Asian American woman of color (and to those not able to see video – kick the elderly woman and smash her head with his foot not once not twice but three times while saying “f*** you, you dont’t belong here. And the doorman not only fails to help but shuts the door on her – not to be bothered)
    Minorities often flock to the big cities – it’s safer there. More minorities. People like us. Liberal minded. Well if we can’t even stand up for our brothers and sisters in the cities – for directed obvious hate crimes based on race. I feel sad for us as a species – and as I can blame one person for dragging us back 50yrs on progress it is still our personal responsibility to know what what’s right and what is wrong or we can just close the door.

    • Master JaimeRoberto (royal we/us)

      Probably the safest place for an Asian is in a white suburb.

      • Scruffy Nerfherder

        Too close to scary rednecks, and suburbs have white people that don’t know about all your cultural traditions and might ask questions, which is totally traumatizing.

      • Nephilium

        Like those terrible racists from King of the Hill… “Are you Chinese or Japanese?”

        “Neither, I’m Laotian!”

        “Alright… so is that Chinese or Japanese?”

      • Scruffy Nerfherder

        Total pothead in college.

        I honestly have no idea what racism he’s referring to. He was just another dude while there. Nobody gave a shit that he’s Korean.

        I think it’s about identifying with a social group. Ivy Leaguers and other elites are very woke, I am Ivy League, therefore I must be woke. And he gets to ride the sympathy train that all the other minorities have been riding for a while.

        He just can’t quite come to grips with the fact that it’s not the rednecks of his fever dreams that are beating on Asians and he dare not say the truth of it. He’d be jeopardizing his social status.

      • commodious spittoon

        Nobody gave a shit that he’s Korean.

    Garret Miller didn’t speak to the law enforcement officers who arrested him on charges he stormed the U.S. Capitol in January, but the T-shirt he was wearing at his Dallas home that day sent a clear and possibly incriminating message.

    Miller’s shirt had a photograph of former President Donald Trump, and it said “Take America Back” and “I Was There, Washington D.C., January 6, 2021,” federal prosecutors noted in a court filing Monday.

    • Ownbestenemy

      Yeah…cause T-Shirts have been known to convey intentions and motive. How is that even remotely incriminating? What a clown show blended into the banana shake republic.

    “I assume it would be like being stuck inside a pressure cooker in Mexico.” It gets cold at night in the desert. I worked at an orphanage in Baja (investing in the future) in high school and often there would be ice on the ground in the morning.

    “I’m not exactly some kind of environmentalist, but even I think this is cruel.” In Costa Rica we did some touristy thing where we found turtles laying eggs so we could collect the eggs and take them to a protected location before poachers could get to them. Part of me wonders if we weren’t actually delivering them to the poachers.

    Bizarrely some things became more efficient with the federal government in these trying times. My partner applied for naturalization last June. Sure there was no progress for many months. But then he was notified that there’s no need to show up to have his fingerprints and photo taken because they already had them on file. Of course, these things were collected when one applied for a green card. But in the past you always had to do it again. Today he had his naturalization interview—and less than an hour later he took the oath of allegiance and became a US citizen. Just like that, a single visit to a government office.

    • Brochettaward

      He knows that they expect him to vote Democrat until long after he’s dead, right?

      • grrizzly

        No doubt. This is probably why the government is still processing naturalization applications these days.

    A racist anti-white class that was being offered at Florida State University has been cancelled after receiving significant pushback.

    Random question – thinking about this on the treadmill this afternoon.

    Is there a specific court decision or piece of US code that permits public sector unions in the federal government? How far back does it go and is it something that could be cut (Gordian knot style) by dumping via executive order and pushing the issue to the legislative branch to authorize?

    • Sensei

      From memory I recall something about its expansion during the Kennedy administration.

      However, that’s all I remember and not a high degree of confidence.

    • Brochettaward

      Via the Wikipedias:

      Change came in the 1950s. In 1958 New York mayor Robert Wagner, Jr. issued an executive order, called “the little Wagner Act,” giving city employees certain bargaining rights, and gave their unions with exclusive representation (that is, the unions alone were legally authorized to speak for all city workers, regardless of whether or not some workers were members.) Management complained but the unions had power in city politics.[14]

      The first U.S. state to permit collective bargaining by public employees was Wisconsin, in 1959.[15] Collective bargaining is now permitted in three fourths of U.S. states.[16] By the 1960s and 1970s public-sector unions expanded rapidly to cover teachers, clerks, firemen, police, prison guards and others. In 1962, President John F. Kennedy issued Executive Order 10988, upgrading the status of unions of federal workers.[17]

      Some have proposed repeal of Executive Order 10988, which could potentially occur if the President were to issue an executive order vacating Executive Order 10988.[8]

    Nashua, NH’s Board of Health doesn’t want to end mask ordinance. In other news, water is wet.

    Nashua was the first community in New Hampshire to implement a face mask mandate last May, and the city’s Board of Health says it is in no hurry to reverse that action.

    Aldermen adopted the mask mandate 10 months ago — well before Gov. Chris Sununu put in place a statewide mask mandate last November to help slow the spread of COVID-19. Last week, Sununu extended the statewide mask requirement until at least April 16.

    “To give into frustration and quarantine fatigue now when we are on the cusp of having a plan, a way out, is premature by any measure and we need to really see what is going to happen in the next month,” said Dr. Stephanie Wolf-Rosenblum, member of the Nashua Board of Health.

    Resident Marian Knight submitted a request to the Board of Aldermen seeking to end the city’s mask mandate on Friday. That request was then forwarded to the board of health.

    “It will be a travesty, in my personal and medical opinion, to not continue the mask ordinance for a period of time independent of what the state is going to do,” said Wolf-Rosenblum.

    Judge denies bail for Free Keene activist

    Free Keene activist and cryptocurrency trader Ian Freeman will remain behind bars as he awaits trial on charges of money laundering, fraud and other financial crimes, a magistrate judge ruled Monday.

    In a 17-page order that lays out the decision, Judge Andrea Johnstone said she is not confident that a freed Freeman will show up for trial in the future. She also feared that his freedom could allow his alleged crimes to continue.

    During a hearing earlier this month, prosecutors described the wealth Freeman has built up in his exchange business, including 28 bitcoins, a $1.6 million cache this is almost impossible to trace and can be accessed anywhere.

    “The defendant’s significant financial assets and the fact that much of his wealth is in the form of difficult-to-trace cryptocurrency weigh in favor of his detention,” Johnstone wrote.

    As a side note: The Feds claim kiddie porn led them to the Free Keene folks and I have yet to see any information about kiddie porn charges.

    The 11-9 vote of the House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services along partisan lines Tuesday was expected, given that House Republican leaders have made this issue (SB 61) a priority for the 2021 session.

    NH Secretary of State worried about HR 1

    New Hampshire Secretary of State Bill Gardner is frustrated.

    Twice now, his fellow Granite State Democrats, Reps. Annie Kuster and Chris Pappas, have voted to override the state’s election laws and replace them with laws written in Washington, DC. And twice, they’ve declined to talk to him — the state’s top election official — about it.

    “They’ve never asked me about it,” Gardner told NHJournal in a recent interview, the same answer he gave after House Democrats passed H.R. 1 in the early days of 2019.

    Gardner’s frustration isn’t with the specifics of the legislation — well, not entirely. New Hampshire already has some of the election laws mandated by H.R. 1, like same-day voter registration and allowing felons to vote as long as they aren’t incarcerated. And Gardner’s team put together a mail-in balloting system for the COVID-19 plagued 2020 election that resulted in a record turnout. All without a federal mandate.

    And that’s Gardner’s frustration. He believes in local elections. And he believes New Hampshire’s long record of success proves they work.

    “Bidens’ dog Major involved in another biting incident

    The Bidens’ dog Major has been involved in another biting incident that required medical attention, two people with knowledge of the incident tell CNN.

    The incident, which involved a National Park Service employee, took place on the White House South Lawn on Monday afternoon. The employee was working at the time and needed to stop in order to receive treatment from the White House medical unit.”

    I blame the owners.

      If (s)he didn’t have connections, the Presidential Dog would be a dead dog.

        Yep.

    • Gustave Lytton

      Clearly joe and dr Jill are not dog owners. Having a dog is a political prop like so much in their phony lives.

      • TARDis

        I suspect the dog knows evil shitstains when it sees/smells them.

    Mexico underreported their COVID deaths, which makes me confident their new figure is accurate.

    Their new figure would put their per-capita death rate as higher than in the US. I wonder if anyone will be asking Biden whether it is a good idea to encourage immigration from such a COVID positive nation. I’d like to see the attempts to reconcile those two narratives.

    • Gustave Lytton

      Circle back later has been ducking that question all month long.

      Going off the source less Wiki article, 400k excess deaths or even 200k excess deaths shown is quite a large stack to hide. No whispers before now? Cmon, they aren’t that in the tank for gringo tourism.

    See if this is working for me now.

    Glamping? I got a story but it includes a 4wd F350 driven up beach on S Padre island, a tent, a blow up mattress, all the proper camping supplies, lots of good food cooked on the tailgate or the grill, and a willing girlfriend. Aaaah to be young again. 40something was a good year(s). We saw people in the distance and had our own spot alone for days. It was/is one of my favorite camping trips. #Surfkayakwindsurferandbeachchairs
