My wife’s iPad has reached its memory capacity. So she is offloading songs on her iTunes to the iCloud to free up some space. Which means she is playing every iSong on her iPlaylist for about 38 seconds. Did I mention most of my house is tile floor?

“Mexico decided they will issue permits for pot, which I assume means there probably won’t be any pot tourism”
I assume it means there will be plenty of corruption.
Mexico used to, or maybe still does, have ridiculous penalties for possession, where American tourists would get 20 years or something for a joint.
Why should Mexico be any different than here? Crony it up, sell influence, whee!
It did occur to me it might work the way they do auto insurance there. I go to a website, pay the fee and they give me a printable insurance card good for the duration of my trip.
The last time I was caught with it in Mexico we negotiated the fine down to 20 bucks. Handily it was payable to the cops immediately so we didn’t need the hassle with the larger legal bureaucracy. Granted that was mid 90’s so I am sure inflation has increased that somewhat.

Welcome to the United Soviet States of America.
Prior to being sentenced, Hodgkins addressed the court to express regret for his actions, saying that he traveled to D.C. “with the intention of supporting the president I loved.” He said went there to participate in a march on Pennsylvania Avenue but never anticipated joining in the storming of Capitol.
“I wish to state that I completely acknowledge and accept that Joseph R. Biden Jr. is rightfully and respectfully the president of the United States,” Hodgkins said. “To put things in short, I allowed myself to put passion before my principles, which resulted in me violating the law for the first time in my life — a thing which I definitely feel shame for, and something that I vow never to let happen again.”
Hodgkins pleaded with Judge Moss not to sentence him to time in prison, saying he feared it would mean he would lose his job just before he’s set to receive a promotion, and make it difficult for him to find a temporary home for his two cats.
“If there is still a debt that I owe society then I hope that I may be able to pay that debt in a way that affords me the ability to continue to be an otherwise law-abiding, working class and taxpaying citizen, rather than becoming a drain on society,” Hodgkins said.
The judge, however, said that Jan. 6 was more than just a simple riot.
“There were people who were swarming into the halls of the Capitol saying, ‘Where’s Nancy?’ The chambers of Congress were emptied during the most solemn act in a democracy of certifying who the next president is going to be by an angry mob,” Moss said. “That is not an exercise of First Amendment rights by any measure.”
All hail the king. Praised be his name and long may he reign.
Yep, I think we’re done here.
Referring to judges and woodchippers can be problematic…

Wait, I thought it was “the people’s house?”

I would say “never apologize,” but I’m not the one who has been sitting in a federal prison for six months and is about to go back for some more.
Despite my snark below. I don’t blame him one bit for doing so. You pick your battles.
“I wish to state that I completely acknowledge and accept that Joseph R. Biden Jr. is rightfully and respectfully the president of the United States,” Hodgkins said.
I also love Big Brother.
“I also did not commit suicide in jail.”
I might have left out the “rightfully and respectfully”. Maybe gone with “legally”.
Or maybe I wouldn’t play games with a vindictive federal judge out to make a public example of me while he’s enjoying himself handing out a grossly disproportionate sentence.
He’d already done 6 months out of the 8 handed down, so 2 months to go. Versus 18 months if he doesn’t grovel, thus 12 months to go.
You’d be hard pressed to find a lawyer that wouldn’t strongly advise their client to take the first approach, sickening as it might be.
Was he blinking in morse code?
Since Washington was mentioned in the last article, I think it bears comparing the reaction his administration had to an actual insurrection (the Whiskey Rebellion) versus the reaction our present administration had to the Jan 6 riot. Not only did the Washington administration propose no new laws or infringements in response, Washington himself pardoned the only two men convicted in federal court for participating in the insurrection.
As an aside, the whiskey tax that led to the rebellion was repealed within eight years of the rebellion due to shifting political winds, which I think is a good reminder that things are not set in stone.
Washington was no Mao. This is a court-set struggle session, plain and simple. I am surprised they did not strip him, put a dunce cap on him and make him run a gauntlet.
Washington himself pardoned the only two men convicted in federal court for participating in the insurrection.
As I understand Hamilton wanted to hang everyone involved.
Racist.
That is sickening.
I do not consider Biden a legitimate US president. He is nothing but the senile figurehead of a criminal junta ruling the country. Of course, the presidential election in 2020 was illegitimate.
This, but I would expand that to include the entire FedGov. When we have high ranking generals lying and undermining the Commander in Chief, bragging about on national TV and walking Scott free we are well over the line between legitimacy and criminality.
“swarming”
“angry mob”

Hmm.

That was a good question, if anyone did say that, because I imagine she was watching all this unfold with glee.

Two wolves and a sheep deciding what’s for dinner?
If we’re being glib, which we are, then yes, but in this particular instance it is not this particular “most solemn act” to which we necessarily have universal objection, if we accept codifying the transfer of executive power in such a way that is compatible with…
Eh. I might have another drink before I do any of that fancy typing.
I can’t keep it straight: voting is…protesting is…dissenting is…impeachment is…most solemn act of democracy.
I am sure I have heard a few others over my years.
Looting, arson, other large-scale vandalism of private and public property, beating people senseless, summary executions, burning down a Federal courthouse with people inside, burning down a police precinct… boy it’s hard to keep up with all the solemn acts these days.

This is the fucking pathology that is killing this country the last 12 years. If you need to worship god, get your ass to church and stay the fuck away from politics.

Shh. Questions like that lead to misinformation, and misinformation leads to lists. You know who else made lists?

Better question: did they actually get the vaccine or was that just heroin?
Is that a choice?
I’d rather have straight covid injected into my arm than either.
So it’s the Delta variant. I guess to be safe we should go back to lockdowns until they develop a vaccine for that strain.
In a slight breach of decorum the virus may skip to the Triple Dog Delta-plus variant.
Not all the way to the Sooper extra Triple Dog Delta-plus? Why screw around? Let’s just go nuclear.
Now that we know the vaccine isn’t 100% perfect maybe they’ll go back to calling it Trump’s vaccine and refuse to take it.
are they sick,
Probably not. What we are experiencing is a casedemic, and even the numbers for that are bullshit because the test is bullshit and it is not a “case” if you have no symptoms and are not actually diagnosed.
“Juul paid $51,000 to a scientific journal so that it would devote its entire bi-monthly issue to 11 studies that claimed the brand helped smoker kick their addiction to regular cigarettes.

Of the $51,000 that Juul paid AJHB to print the issue, $6,500 was paid to have the edition be accessible to the public for free. The 44-year-old journal is a subscription-based publication which normally charges readers a fee.
Three editorial board members of the AJHB resigned in protest over the arrangement, according to The New York Times.”

So unethical, but still right?
Now do Pfizer.
They publish their own journals.
And I wonder how much they pay to, say for instance, the NYT?
The advertising costs of Pfizer totaled approximately 1.8 billion U.S. dollars in 2020
I fell asleep half-paying attention to an old EconTalk with Marcia Angell on such topics last night. Very interesting. So interesting, in fact, I may have to listen to it again and pay full attention.
That’s surprisingly cheap.
I’ll just point out that the public health nannies have been opposed to harm reduction since day one. And they ganked plenty of money from taxpayers for anti-vaping ads.
But… vape juice can contain toxins and trace amounts of heavy metals!
That’s obviously worse then tobacco smoke, which contains toxins and trace amounts of heavy metals (guessing on this part).
Government-funded studies call for more government, and somehow that’s *never* unethical.
I doubt this is true. Any researcher can approach most peer-reviewed journals with ideas for special issues. There’s nothing inherently shady about a tobacco company doing it. Almost every journal out there allows the authors to pay for Open Access to allow free accessibility of their article for readers. $51,000 sounds dead-on for purchasing Open Access for 11 articles, and I bet the Daily Mail intentionally distorted this. There is no publisher of any journal that would make 11 articles open access for $6,500.
Many journals will not touch any articles funded by Tobacco. I could see Juul looking at a special issue as their only option to get research published.
Or… just ask any Juul user.
I haven’t smoked a cigarette in almost two years.
So Big Medicine can either prove that vaping is equally bad as smoking or STFU.
It isn’t even Big Medicine – it’s Big Nanny disapproving of your filthy nicotine addiction in any form you degenerate.

“‘Dr. Fauci, knowing that it is a crime to lie to Congress, do you wish to retract your statement of May 11 where you claimed the NIH [National Institutes of Health] never funded gain of function research in Wuhan?’ Paul asked of the nation’s top immunologist and Joe Biden’s top COVID advisor.
‘Senator Paul, I have never lied before the Congress and I do not retract that statement,’ Fauci shot back in the heated exchange on Capitol Hill during a Senate Health Committee hearing.
When Paul asked Fauci if taking an animal virus and increasing its transmissibility to humans is not the definition of ‘gain of function’, Fauci said: ‘That is correct.’
‘And Senator Paul, you do not know what you are talking about, quite frankly. And I want to say that officially – You do not know what you are talking about,’ Fauci lambasted as the two began talking over each other in front of the hearing room.
‘You won’t admit the truth,’ Paul rebutted.
‘You are implying that what we did was responsible for the deaths of individual (sic). I totally resent that,’ Fauci said.
‘And it could have been,’ Paul interjected.
‘If anybody is lying here, senator, it is you,’ Fauci said as he grabbed hold of the microphone and pointed at the Kentucky senator.”

He’s panicking.
I think it’s morbidly interesting that he’s willing to burn it down in order to save his skin.
He is KING BUREAUCRAT in public health – when will these peasants recognize what the media has seem in him?
I am also not a virologist but I did spend a lot of time sitting in micro classes and labs. Fauci is lying and nothing he has said so far makes any sense.
Senator Paul, I have never lied before the Congress
Great way to double down. Not that I think he’s going to be held to account, but if he was he just added another crime to his list. And unnecessarily, I might add. I’m pretty sure the Congressional testimony is conducted under oath (which would be why it’s a crime to lie), which means all assertions of honesty after the oath are unnecessary and merely another opportunity to impugn yourself.

Censoring a sitting representative is totally fine.
Twitter suspended Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Monday for violating its policy against posting “misleading information” related to the coronavirus pandemic.
A Twitter spokesperson confirmed to The Post that Greene’s personal account would be in “read-only mode” for 12 hours. According to the social media giant’s COVID-19 vaccine misinformation policy unveiled in March, 12-hour suspensions are doled out for second and third violations. A fourth violation results in a week’s suspension, while a fifth strike would lead to a ban.
I can’t find where she said anything egregiously incorrect, not that it should really matter. We should be free to debate things.
Thou shalt not thwart Big Pharma.
This message approved by Biogen.
The only one that might be wrong is the one about 6000 deaths, but that’s not a reason to suspend her. Vaccines are basically the Trolley Problem. You know some people are going to have side effects and in a large enough group it will be easy to find some. The vaccine pushers would be better off just acknowledging that.
What boggles my mind is that they are overtly exceeding their Section 230 immunity, which only covers them if they block “offensive” posts, not “misleading information”. Their loss of immunity should be a laydown win for a defamation plaintiff. If he can get in front of an honest judge.
Somebody believes in unicorns.
They know* there will never be anyone who will hold them accountable in any kind of position to do so ever again.
*sheer hubris, we hope
They find posts with “misleading information” to be offensive.
Honest judge, with rare exceptions, is an oxymoron.
Let’s just jump to the end already:
“I’m offended by people who disagree with me! Ban them!”
That’s where we are anyway. Might as well make it official
Pretty sure 230 lets them ban anything else they deem offensive. It has a vague and general clause at the end that gets used as a catchall for whatever they want. Then the government tells them what else they should want to censor, but it’s a private corp doing it, so it’s totes legit.
Exactly. They can ban “offensive” content. But they can’t ban “misleading” content. But they are out and proud that is what they are doing, and it exceeds even the broadest reading of 230. “Misleading” is far broader than “offensive”, but that’s the term they use in their own policy.
“Any content they deem otherwise offensive” covers…anything. Misleading or otherwise. I believe they are hiding behind the idea that the info they are banning could lead to violence or be dangerous to “public health.” At least, that’s what they’ll say. Somehow, it only benefits one party. Always.
“But they can’t ban “misleading” content”
Why not?
Because in a free society, the government and it’s agents are not allowed to be the arbiters of what is or is not misleading. In this case, you are right, because they can just claim that they find it offensive. Which is why 230 is such a shitty rule.
AFAIK 230 protects TPTB here at Glibs from any of the stupid shit that Westernsloper posts in the comments, it says nothing about whether they can/should or must* ban him. I’m not seeing the shittiness there.
*In slopers case I’m fine with can and should, but must is a bridge too far.

Judge is assho.
A federal judge has blocked a challenge to Indiana University’s requirement that students get vaccinated against COVID-19 before returning to campus this fall. Indiana University is one of hundreds of colleges mandating COVID-19 vaccinations this year.
According to university policy, students and staff must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 unless they qualify for a medical, religious or ethical exemption, or unless a student is attending a fully online program. Students who qualify for an exemption will need to take extra-precautionary measures on campus by wearing masks, taking additional coronavirus tests and either heading home or quarantining in the case of an outbreak.
Students who refuse the vaccine and don’t qualify for an exemption can have their classes canceled and access to online university systems revoked.
I guess “my body, my choice” only applies to one thing.
It doesn’t matter. I have a feeling classes are going to be online again this year, at least in California.
That decision will be made only after the recall results.
See, this is what they should be suing on:
You are very lmited in what you can do to someone claiming one of those exemptions, which come from the ADA and the civil rights laws. You can’t impose an undue burden on people because of their medical conditions or religious beliefs. Masks will probably pass muster (they have been required for people who are exempt from “mandatory” flu shots) but the rest? If you can find an honest judge, those should be good claims.
or unless a student is attending a fully online program
There’s an invitation to score some points about the ugly history of “separate but equal” education.
The civil rights laws should make this a slam dunk. Just point out that proportionally fewer blacks are stabbed-up than whites. Doesn’t matter why.
The governor should fire the president of the university system and put someone place that disagrees with this policy. Work down to the night janitors if necessary. Do you know who else forced others to take experimental treatments against their will?
Bill Cosby?
Interesting: our campus will have extra requirements (e.g. masking) for the non-vaccinated. But we’ve been told very clearly that (1) there will be no requirement to get vaccinated and (2) under no circumstances can we enquire about someone’s vaccination status.
For now. If this ruling stands, I imagine that it will change.
That’s allegedly the rule where I work, but there’s a few things that can happen where you have to inform them. I just travelled to FLA and had to inform them that I was quarantined for 10 days, only required for the unvaccinated. Now, I’m on one more list.

Devil’s Advocate:
She’s drop dead gorgeous. Some men find dark features like hers attractive. He’s from an inbred line of royals, and a woman with a genome pretty much guaranteed to counteract that inbreeding might be really attractive on a primal level, as in, she smells good to him. He’s one of the most privileged men on earth, and men who have spent their lives surrounded by submissive underlings often have an emotional need to submit to a powerful woman, as any dominatrix could tell you.
And he might actually be deeply in love with her, and find the things you consider faults to be endearing.
Perhaps if she had bigger norks…

I would have thought butter in Ramen was sacrilege. I was on a bone broth and sliced pork ramen kick some weeks ago. I have moved on to sliced pork laden Caesar salad. Too hot for soup here for the foreseeable future.
I made of series of mistakes today: 1- I went on Twitter; 2- I clicked on “JK Rowling” on trending topics; and 3- I watched this video about the awfulness of fatphobia in the Harry Potter universe.

I like Harry Potter and its been mostly fun to have my girls (11 and 8) read and enjoy them as well. And given the amount of butt hurt that happens over JK Rowling and Harry Potter, I might just like them more, but when did everything in society have to be so “problematic.” It’s all so tiresome.
When people realized they can monetize those “problematic issues” on near global scale thanks to the intertoobs?
And the internet greatly distorts the “voices” of the most awful people. I suppose we should have seen it coming.
“AOC calls for a ‘wartime mobilization’ to defeat climate change and pushes for a Civilian Climate Corps with 1.5million members that could cost taxpayers $10billion”
If we gave each of them $20,000 to whoop it up in Vegas (or wherever) for a weekend and then snuff it, it might be worth a try.
If she keeps her seat next go around (noone is going to primary her and her district won’t elect a Republican) I’d not be surprised if she started showing up for work wearing fatigues. It might be kinda hot, in a very wrong sort of way.
They would have to be the dungaree olive-drab type, no camo pattern and she needs aviators and her hair….okay I am going into some weird fantasy here.
inorite?
*starts thinking intensely about baseball*
She’s got an okay body. But, her mouth reminds me of Chatterer from the Hellraiser movies
Pokey’s. She better have pokey’s.
If you’re serious about a wartime mobilization to fight climate change, you get the biggest bang for your buck shutting down coal plants.
So I guess bombing China it is, then!
I’d not be surprised if she started showing up for work wearing fatigues.
With her underwear on the outside?
Maybe, and velcro for her combat boots, because laces.
Hiss

Yep! Finally!
Is the big RV plan a reality yet?
Going to take a look at one on the 31st
Congrats on reaching V1.

Big question, are they sick, or did the test just find the virus up their nose?
Or did they not bother getting the actual vaccine. Sorry, the data I’m seeing (granted, mostly from government sources) seems to suggest that WuFlu II – Electric Boogaloo is mostly prevented by vaccines. Somehow, it seems this one feature of the virus is somehow negated in the less than one percent of our population who just happen to be in the high political class.
I can’t find where she said anything egregiously incorrect, not that it should really matter. We should be free to debate things.
Marjorie Taylor Greene is a blasphemer and a heretic. She cannot be permitted to spread her vile filth.
I’ll bring some marshmallows when they burn her at the stake. Until then, oh noes, social media continues to be a human sewage system, what shall we ever do.
“Pentagon contractor investigating ‘extremism’ says BLM web search raises concerns about White supremacy
The Pentagon is reportedly working with an extremism analysis company that considers the web search “the truth about Black Lives Matter” and others to be signs of interest in or engagement with White supremacism.
According to Defense One, the contractor Moonshot CVE, which has ties to the Obama Foundation, is working on data that would identify which military bases and branches have the most troops searching for domestic extremist content. While that particular project’s contours are unclear, the company previously released a June report, in conjunction with the left-leaning Anti-Defamation League, on purported “White supremacy trends in the United States.”
In it, the U.K.-based company said it “monitored a list of almost 1,600 indicators of interest in or engagement with White supremacism, focused specifically on anti-Black and anti-Semitic narratives being used by extremist groups.”
As examples, it listed the search phrases “George Floyd deserved to die,” “Jews will not replace us” and “the truth about black lives matter.”
For “the truth about black lives matter,” the group said: “This search suggests that the BLM movement has nefarious motives, and is a disinformation narrative perpetuated by White supremacist groups to weaponize anti-BLM sentiment.”
It adds: “While the search phrase appears innocuous, several books include it in their title and allege that the BLM movement is ‘joined with Antifa burning and looting.’ These sources echo White supremacist disinformation narratives alleging that BLM protesters are trying to ‘overthrow the republic’ and ‘harm American citizens in a Marxist coup,’ as a means of delegitimizing it. Multiple videos on YouTube also promote these narratives – in particular the criminalization of BLM – using the identical phrase.””

disinformation?
So… the Pentagon is actively supporting open Marxists.
It feels like we’ve lost the plot somewhere.
The call, it’s coming from INSIDE the house!
The Obama Foundation
Now there’s a guy I wouldn’t seeing that he had a massive coronary and/or stroke.
To be fair, if you are looking this stuff up on a government computer or on a government installation, you deserve what you get for being dumb.
This search suggests that the BLM movement has nefarious motives
The organization BLM, which was one of the earliest promoters of the BLM movement, has admitted to nefarious motives, so it is not at all unreasonable to be suspicious of the movement it is related to.
?
Indeed it does.
The validity of these claims is apparently of no interest. Even though BLM is quite overtly Marxist.
The idea that somebody could have heard good and bad about BLM and be genuinely interested in finding the truth, is not considered at all. Or perhaps it was considered, and the conclusion is that they want to purge everyone who doesn’t reflexively tow the party lion.
The rot runs very deep. There will be no easy excision of it. Institutions either need to be completely closed down, or need to be thoroughly purged.
White supremacist disinformation narratives alleging that BLM protesters are trying to ‘overthrow the republic’ and ‘harm American citizens in a Marxist coup
They’re doing the same thing with QAnon. Point out BLM is a Marxist front or Antifa is destroying cities and you’re smeared as a white supremacist/racist. Point out the election night fortification, Hunter’s laptop, or Hilary’s bodycount and your smeared as a QAnon believer.
I’m guessing almost all of us would be considered racist QAnoners.
To this moment, I am not clear on exactly what Qanon is, and I have tried to find this out. Imagine the mostly ignorant. Qanon is said to be highly organized and extremely dangerous. Antifa, OTH, is just an idea and no threat to anyone. Who doesn’t like the opposite of facism? Those protesters are mostly peaceful, not like the Q people with there insurrection and everything. It’s all so vague that they must just be hoping that nobody cares enough to try and figure any of it out. They just want to leave a mild stain and hope it sways the ignorant.
QAnon is most likely disinformation from one or more of the intelligence agencies.
I gotta assume. If it were real, there’d be something, somewhere laying out just what it is. I’ve had people opine, but nothing real or tangible.
Well, this is great. The city is in the process of approving a four-story apartment building with an attached four-story parking garage, a block away from the house we’re selling. If that gets out to the general public, that’s going to fuck our sale price right in the keister.
Fuck you, Aurora.
A few years ago we sued the city, the zoning board of appeal and the developer who was preparing to build a very tall building right in front of our condo. That paused the construction for a year. We won the case, received a settlement, bought a new place elsewhere and then sold the condo right before the enormous size of the new building under construction became obvious to potential buyers.
Was the zoning for the height of the building approved to be ok under existing zoning rules or did they change it to make one developer happy?
The new building was in a clear breach of existing zoning rules. It required an exception.

In case you were wondering whether Dems and TMITE are on the same team:
So, there’s no recording unless you are TMITE. Can’t have unedited videos of a Congresshole addressing the public out there. TMITE can be relied on to make sure any Dem gaffes are swept under the rug.
I have spent the major part of the day working on a trailer plug for the Suburban, so I can tow the Airstream. Guess what- the Airstream is not wired in the “conventional” pattern. It’s idiosyncratic. I vaguely remember dealing with this previously. Fortunately, I’m the kind of guy who tests stuff before just slamming it all together. The best part would have been the trailer stabbing its brakes every time I hit the left turn signal.
It worked when I plugged it into the truck, so I copied that. For now. Good times.
Race you! Class C vs. trailer; Ford vs. Chevy.

To be fair, Lindell is a showman, not an intellectual.

I managed to kill my zucchini plant. So when a coworker asked who wants squash, I said “me!”. So much squash. Zucchini, patty pan, Crookneck, summer. I’ll be freezing it tomorrow night. Tonight I’m having zoodles with shrimp and pesto.
Some people will be pleased you can’t foist any zucchini off on them.
Losers, who don’t appreciate my largesse, that’s who.
The green bean pickles were good, though
Tomorrow I’ll make patty pan with pork sausage, then scallops with grilled squash. Yum.
The first of many I hope.

Impulse bought a used .357 6″ revolver. Price and condition were excellent. After shooting it, I decided I need more revolvers.
I own a revolver, but never shot it. It’s way too much gun for me to handle.
This thing is so heavy, it’s easier to shoot than my carry gun.
What flavor? S&W?
Taurus 66.
Cool. I need another .357. I only have big stuff now.
Lol. I was just texting with my brother that I need a .44 now.
Yes, you do. Really. They are super fun.
If you are ever in the market for a .410/.45…
We can’t have them here, behind the Patchouli curtain.
Everybody needs more revolvers. Especially me.
