Good morning my Glibs and Gliberinas! And what an amazing day it always is!
Mike Lindell is holding his cyber symposium today at 9am central.
AZ attorney general investigating Maricopa County’s failure to comply with subpoenas.
Texas attorney general issues warnings to local officials imposing mask mandates.
Defense Secretary to mandate vaccines for US military by September 15.
Average age of breakthrough case deaths is 82.5 years old.
2,000 year old fast food joint in Pompeii to open to tourists.
That’s all I got for today. I’ll leave you with a song and move along with my day.
Morning Banjos.
How did they find the original owners? Poor guy can’t get any rest.
*reads article*
“food place open to tourist” implies they’ll be serving food.
What a ripoff.
The diner used to offer its Roman customers snails and beef, traces of which were found at the site.
I feel like this may be one of those situations where the snails got in of their own accord, and the archeologist is like “oh, it must’ve been a delicacy” but the diner owner was like “I hate these damn snails that keep eating my food!”
I would agree, but the romans were known for their odd cuisine, and the french learned to eat escargot from someone…
BRIAN:
Larks’ tongues. Otters’ noses. Ocelot spleens.
REG:
Got any nuts?
BRIAN:
I haven’t got any nuts. Sorry. I’ve got wrens’ livers, badgers’ spleens–
REG:
No, no, no.
BRIAN:
Otters’ noses?
REG:
I don’t want any of that Roman rubbish.
JUDITH:
Why don’t you sell proper food?
BRIAN:
Proper food?
REG:
Yeah, not those rich imperialist tit-bits.
BRIAN:
Well, don’t blame me. I didn’t ask to sell this stuff.
REG:
All right. Bag of otters’ noses, then.
FRANCIS:
Make it two.
I thought we were the People’s Judean Front!?
“Snails and beef”
My favorite of the Boyardee offerings.
Escargot cooked right is probably my favorite food in the whole wide world.
Romans ate snails. Also, back then Europeans were more like Asians in their “which animals are food” thinking.
Scungilli salad is great. Although, those are sea, not land, snails.
The question is, how did they find anybody to work the counter?
2000 years isn’t very fast.
Snails aren’t fast, either
Is FrankSpeech.com a honeypot? Good morning! I think I just might listen to this pillow man this morning. I love honey.
Okay so it’s like a one-stop shop for all things election fraud. That’s some boy scout like initiative from Mike Lindell. I like that.
Honeypot…maybe, maybe not…use a VPN…
So breakthrough cases are killing those over 80, while suicide and overdose deaths are hitting those under 30. LOCKDOWN 4 EVAR!
I noticed they give out some useful numbers when they are schilling for the vax. This is the first news piece that mentions any kind of real percentage. If they all explained that less than a quarter of one percent of people have died from covid, maybe the panic would lessen a bit. 99.8%? I’ll take those odds.
I just keep thinking back to the fear of SARS (aka COVID), which South Park lampooned back in the day.
“Stanley. Listen to me, I have SARS, there’s only a 98% chance that I will live.”
while suicide and overdose deaths are hitting those under 30
It’s possible that deaths are up due to non-COVID reasons for the under 45 crowd by the same (percentage) magnitude that they are up due to COVID reasons for the over 45 crowd. Stay tuned tonight for an article where I take a brief look into mortality numbers from 2020.
Average age of breakthrough case deaths is 82.5 years old
The pandemic is over if you want it to be over.
No mention of the average age of all covid deaths.
Or of the average amount of comorbidities they had.
83 comorbidities?
Akshually – 2.9 on average.
Within the margin of error.*

Sorry meant to say I was reminded of the time when in physics lab we determined pi was 6 +-3
Jack White is a national treasure.
He is a guitar master, for sure, and a pretty cool dude. Funny story about when we first met at an event at his studio where he was hitting on my fiancé at the time. When I came up to intervene he says, “Hey, Kenny!” (not my name) and proceeded to disengage from my babe and wander off. Some months later I was talking to his ex wife (truly awesome person) and the episode came up in conversation and she tells me that for a long time he thought I was Kenny Aronoff. After that every time I saw him I would ask him if he needed a drummer and he would just laugh his ass off.
What a piece of shit: Lewis Brinson Believes Colorado Rockies Fan Used N-word, Accepts Investigation Outcome
In spite of admitting he never heard the fan at the time, and that it has been confirmed the fan was calling for the Rockies mascot, “Dinger”, he still casts asprsions that could ruin this guys life, I guess because he needs to believe in a racist America?
It’s time for the club to take bold action and change the mascot’s name to “Cracker Jack”
I just can’t handle this wealthy ballplayer trying to play the victim at the expense of an innocent working stiff. I’m glad I stopped watching MLB last year when they went all in on the BLM bullshit.
One of the local dives took down the Chief Wahoo they’ve had up (and painted the wrong colors) for decades. Watching the attendance plummet next year will be entertaining.
I’m curious to see how the NFL’s ratings do after doubling down on the wokeism.
I broke down and watched a couple regular season Chiefs game and the playoffs…I won’t be so forgiving this year.
I was a Giants fan and they’ve been terrible in recent years, so it was a surprisingly easy habit to break.
I have to chuckle to myself that the Chiefs are finally a legit SB contender year in and year out just as the NFL makes itself unwatchable. Because of course.
Locally, it’ll depend on the first couple of games. The Browns playing well last year and looking good this year has caused a bunch of people to jump back on the bandwagon and start following them again. A couple of blow outs to start the season out, and those people will fade away again.
I’m done watching.
Much better things to do on a Sunday.
Their attendance was going to plummet next year without the name change anyway. Prolly why they decided to do the name change now since they can’t plummet much further.
Most likely, usually they get a year or two during the beginning of rebuilding when the fans still came out to the games (at least for the cheap seats). I think the name change will alter that behavior, and I’d be thinking they were trying to find a way to move the franchise if they didn’t just sign an extension with the city and county for the stadium.
JFC this country has lost its mind.
LOL at Olbermann’s pissy little twit.
“Shouting the N-word at a game? Where is the @Rockies statement on how they apprehended the racist and what they did to him? Where is @mlb’s investigation?” -Olbermann
Perhaps they should have lynched him.
It doesn’t matter if he was innocent, we need to set an example!
I also like the assignment of police and judicial authority to the Rockies ball club.
It is an opportunity to have a discussion about … things that didn’t happen.
“We have renamed our dinosaur mascot Bitchtits.”
It’s a prophylactic and a fashion statement
What kind of mask should a child wear?
Wear any mask that fits well — with no gaps around the mouth, nose or chin — and is comfortable. While adults these days are being encouraged to step up our mask game beyond cloth versions, the advice for children may be a little different. “The best mask is one that they can wear for long periods of time, even in school.” Pierre says. “A cotton mask is the most comfortable, lightweight and breathable.”
Bonus points if the kids like the design. “My kids have the cutest masks,” Lakdawala says, “They have the ones that look like little cat faces and smiley faces or dogs or bears or whatever.” Gronvall’s 11-year-old prefers a mask that is “silky and has pictures of cats in outer space that have lasers coming out of their eyes,” so she’s ordered several of those masks to send with him to school. A child is more likely to wear a mask they find appealing, and to wear it consistently and correctly.
If you want to add more protection, Gandhi suggests wearing two masks, which creates a tighter mask fit on the face, or adding a filter layer to a child’s mask. “You can buy a cloth mask with a pocket, and use vacuum bag material as a filter. It’s thin and it blocks virus very effectively,” she says. Still, she agrees that the bottom line with kids is comfort. So if these interventions make them less likely to wear the mask, she says you can skip them.
Put a plastic bag over your kid’s head, if you really love him. Out of, you know, an abundance of caution.
Science!
Pro-tip: If you’re breathing through it, it isn’t doing anything.
Alternatively, if the mask is comfortable.
like from a vacuum cleaner, or like from a vacuum sealer? I mean 99% of vacuum cleaners are bagless now, so they must mean a plastic bag?
“Hold still while I hit the vacuum seal button… Stop squirming! It’ll all be over in a moment!”
Most adults don’t wear their mask properly. Most masks don’t fit properly.
“breathable”
Therefore useless.
New challenge for docs claiming masks block viruses: wearing just the masks you recommend for COVID-19 prevention (no face shields, positive air pressure equipment, etc) treat an Ebola patient. If you’re still alive after four weeks we’ll start believing you.
The thing is though, there is a huge difference between the masks most people wear and an N95.
(Also, ebola isn’t airborne.)
There’s no difference among the general public. Bavaria mandated wearing N95 masks (or their European equivalent) in public places. The other German states didn’t insist on N95 masks. There was no difference between Bavaria and the other states.
“Still, she agrees that the bottom line with kids is comfort. So if these interventions make them less likely to wear the mask, she says you can skip them.”
So, we’re just going with theater then?
Okay.
“A cotton mask is the most comfortable, lightweight and breathable.”
Nothing like putting a petri dish on a child’s face.
Gandhi suggests wearing two masks, which creates a tighter mask fit on the face
Deprive them of oxygen. What could go wrong?
Watching studies come out, pro and con on the whole situation and those that go against the narrative (of that day) are forced to retract, are not peer-reviewed, etc, and those that support the narrative, even if they follow what I just said are pushed upon the people as gospel.
The fact that a large swath of the country cannot see that is propaganda is sad.
Editors of the Glibs: Is there a way I can get edit access back for my scheduled article? I noticed some typos I would like to fix. Swiss replied to me last evening and said I should be able to, but there is no way for me to click on the article in article list and edit it. It’s just a grayed-out link.
This has been the case for years. Short of unscheduling it, they cant grant edit privileges.
Done. Let me know when you’re done fiddling with it and I’ll move it from “Draft” back to “Scheduled.”
Swiss has elevated privileges which let him edit scheduled articles, in addition to other wondrous powers.
I’ll check on here, but you (or anyone) with editorial questions can email me my handle at this domain.
Thanks, Tonio! My edits are now complete.
You are back on schedule. I did some minor cleanup, mostly replacing regular dashes with “en” dashes where appropriate. Also centered the left-justified illos for a cleaner look. Left the right-justified illos alone; you’re brave for using those. The first one looks really clean, the text is kinda close-in on the second one; I haven’t figured out how to make WordPress put more left/right space between text and illos.
Thanks for writing for us.
Wait…all authors don’t have godlike powers on our site?
Huh.
Check your privilege. You’re like a cube of bread, totally unaware of the fondue in which you swim.
“…in addition to other wondrous powers.”
Wut? Like can he tie a cherry stem in a knot with his tongue?
Fizzbin
No one wants to think about closing schools before they’ve even reopened
Right. But here are a few hundred rules we made up, nope, haven’t thought about it at all.
Fully vaccinated travelers or those who’ve recovered from COVID-19 in the past three months won’t be required to go through those steps. That might be why Garfield Public Schools followed the CDC’s lead in recommending that community members just delay travel altogether until they are fully vaccinated.
Stay home! Stay safe!
If you must go out, STAY THE FUCK OUT OF THE LEFT HAND LANE.
*takes a pill*
I wonder how many members of the military are going to refuse to comply with illegal orders to take experimental drugs? My son is dating a girl in ROTC. She now has to make that decision.
I don’t believe a country that gives those kinds of orders is worth serving any longer.
It would be interesting to see a mass resignation because of this. But I’m pessimistic because I suspect that the average soldier will sheepishly go along with the order.
As heard from former military members I work around and paraphrasing their views as a whole: “I was injected with all kinds of things while I was in the military, what is one more shot”
I like Cuomo’s new campaign ad.
https://gab.com/Matt_Bracken/posts/106731673576071535

Operant conditioning?
You’re a Glibercontrarian like me?
Vertical integration
A UK company that makes products to treat lung conditions could wind up in the hands of one of the world’s biggest cigarette makers, prompting an outcry from health charities that are calling on the British government to block the deal.
Marlboro maker Philip Morris International (PMI) on Sunday increased its offer for pharmaceutical company Vectura to more than £1 billion ($1.4 billion) in an attempt to fend off a rival bid from US private equity group Carlyle.
——-
Health charities are skeptical of Philip Morris International’s plans and have urged the UK government to block the Vectura deal, warning it will allow the tobacco industry to influence public health policy in Britain.
“It’s ironic that a tobacco company wants to invest in the lung health industry when their products are the biggest preventable cause of cancer, including lung cancer,” Cancer Research UK’s chief executive Michelle Mitchell said in a statement last month.
This is just what we need. NGO parasites administering purity tests as a precondition of business transactions.
We’re circling the drain.
I thought those people were literally Hitlers.
The Carlyle Group was the firm that killed both KB Toys and Toys-r-Us. I have no sympathy for them whatsoever.
Nationalize vital industries!
I wonder how many members of the military are going to refuse to comply with illegal orders to take experimental drugs?
I wonder if any medical officers will refuse to give the shots, and say it is an illegal order.
“I vas only following orders.”
Why not? They’ve already thrown the Nuremburg code into the shitter.
Never been fond of relying on a ‘code’ or ‘law’ to protect you. They are only have strength insofar as the populace and institutions embody the spirit in which they were written. We have very little of that spirit anymore. Rely on EUA? Fuck it, we’ll just by-pass all that and authorize the vax. Now what objection to you have? Constitution? We’ll just ignore that piece of paper and have some political judge rule with us. What-cha-gonna-do?
The spirit that animates a free society has slowly been destroyed over the last 50 years or so, and we let it happen. So those institutions and the rules and laws that depend on them, will no longer protect us.
Yes. Divorce and radical decentralization is the only way out. I have no idea how the mechanics of it will work, but it’s gonna happen.
It’s GOTTA happen, but I have very little faith it’s GONNA happen. Leftist America (OK let’s be honest, the Northeast and the West coast) are the psychotic husband who won’t let the battered wife leave. She’s gonna stay in that abusive relationship…. OR ELSE.
Agreed.
So how can we make airports worse?
And in case you needed another reason to dislike the FAA:
Emphasis added by me.
Sigh… Wistfully ‘members the good ole days when I would always board a plane with a sack full of cheeseburgers from a local joint and 6 pack of Miller High Life from the grocery store.
First trip to Las Vegas I had involved a carry on bag with two bottles of whiskey. This was back in late 2001 (friend of mine had won the plane tickets, hotel room, and tickets to a party).
Unrelated to that, I shot you an e-mail last week.
The process is the punishment. Also, chances are that the unruly behavior occurred outside the jurisdiction of the cops local to the destination airport since airliners move across large distances at high speed.
I’m sure the cabin crews really want to ban alcohol consumption on flights, but the airlines will never let go of that revenue stream.
Somebody, somewhere, called somebody a nigger.
We must find a scapegoat and make an example of him!
Grandpa is already dead. Sorry.
I may not be dead but I’m ahead of you.
Look Brooksy, the idea that America just isn’t all the racist is just too much to bear. We can’t abide that and we will make America racist again.
Somebody, somewhere is listening to rap music, in which “nigger” is every other word.
Hoo boy, a later installment of my current series is sure to provoke some discussion. Whee!
we miss a key opportunity to hold unruly passengers accountable for their unacceptable and dangerous behavior.
Mercy is for chumps. Let our vengeance be merciless and unrelenting.
Hill of skulls? We’ll build a Continent of lifeless, blind skulls!
Sure sign of an authoritarian: use of the word “unacceptable” to describe legal, adult behaviors. “Acceptance” is a purely subjective act; it’s up to each individual whether you “aceept” my decisions or not, and frankly I couldn’t give any less of a shit whether you do or not. I’m wasn’t put on this Earth to be “accepted” by some slimy bucket of turds with a made-up title.
Maybe you should just jam cotton balls up your kid’s nose, to keep him healthy. Don’t forget to put duct tape over his mouth, so he can’t cheat.
You want him to be safe, and live forever, don’t you?
Hardware is relatively cheap and doors are easily barricaded.
Arizona attorney general investigating Maricopa County failure to comply with subpoena
I don’t what there is to “investigate”. They were subpoenaed and failed to comply. Case closed.
Government always has an excuse for itself, it just takes some time for them to wordsmith it and for you to forget about it.
No shit, this is a spineless move. If you ever get subpoenaed try to openly and explicitly not comply and see how it goes for you.
Don’t *know what…
*gets coffee*
alcohol often contributes to this unsafe behavior
Make it a federal crime to consume or possess alcohol on an airplane or within five miles of an airport. Stop pussyfooting around.
Better ban it all together. Not sure why we haven’t done this earlier.
They are trying to do it now. If they get the whiffer into the new cars you won’t be able to use winter windshield washer fluid.
I suspect Lindell’s back on it doggoneit, either that or he’s just out of his mind. Whatever the case may be, the dude’s not acting right.
“Cocaine is a helluva drug!”
He was actually on a very left wing YouTuber’s channel for a lengthy interview very recently and it’s obvious that his hold on reality is tenuous at best. He’s crazy and/or I’ll informed to even accept the offer of that appearance in the first place.
So that’s the answer to the “why do people keep giving him a platform?” question.
I have no real appetite for his shenanigans but I am curious what kind of viewer numbers his show will do. It does seem to me like Mike Lindell is an easy and “safe” way to cordon off the fraud stuff.
A thought, though: How many times has Alex Jones been proven right?
A lot.
There is even a site dedicated to this very topic.
37?
Anyway, it’s very often.
In a row?!
I forget who said it first, but at this point “conspiracy theories” ought to be called “spoilers”.
Agreed about Jones and he’s partially playing a character and he’s also savvy. Lindell is neither I’m afraid.
Somebody posted his interview here with some podcaster (Malice?) where Jones explained how he toes the line between humor and seriousness and how TMITE intentionally blurs the lines between those two modes in order to make him look insane. Ive never really listened to the guy, but the 5 minutes I heard made him sound 100x more reasonable than my preconceptions about him.
If it’s a schtick, it’s losing him viewers, because I’ve tried watching him on and off since the early ots or whenever he first surfaced, even for laughs I couldn’t do it.
He has a tendency to say things I am onboard with and then immediately jump to something absolutely insane. But, as stated above, it is partially an act. Lately I have found his show entertaining.
Mornin’ lovely Banjos! I believe that everyone should sport a fetching “snail watch”.
Contemplating starting my laundry now so I’ll be done by the time I go off the clock for my split shift. That means moar nap time.
Some brave soul, an xray tech at one of the hospitals that I do IT work at, sent an open letter to the all employees email list explaining why he wouldn’t be getting the vaccine (now mandated for all employees by October 1).
Most of the replies are actually positive. You’ve got the typical number of take me off the list, don’t reply all (which are in fact reply alls), etc.
So far only one jackass stating that he has the obligation to the patients, community and muh social contract. He also hit the “fire in a crowded theater” talking point as well as pointing out GA is a right to work state (which I’m sure he is totes in agreement with) and if he doesn’t like it he’s free to find another job.
A brave guy but the nail that sticks out gets the hammer.
Yeah, a buddy and I are taking odds if he finishes the day as an employee or not. So far, no one I recognize as either hospital, regional or system wide leadership has chimed in. Also, no memory holing of the emails at this point.
I don’t think that means what he thinks it does.
“What, it’s anti union? Well I’m against it then.”
-That Guy (probably)
GA is probably also an at-will employment state, which I am sure is what he meant.
Also, its nice to see the left embracing freedom of association, but I dont think they mean it.
Also, its nice to see the left embracing freedom of association, but I dont think they mean it.
“you’re free to disassociate from society at large. What? You don’t know how you’re going to be able to function outside of society? Should’ve thought about that before passing on the vaccine, prole!”
All the replies have stopped, so I’m assuming the systemwide all employees email list has been disabled (which it probably generally should be anyway) or replies are being filtered out.
Back before the IT consolidation, when I still worked directly for an agency, the email was run in-house. Even then we knew to limit the “All Employees” and similar large lists to a small number of people who had job reasons to send to everyone.
Texas attorney general issues warning as local officials flaunt order banning mask mandates
I’m sure we can find a judge to block that attempt at supporting freedom.
As the COVID-19 pandemic pushes Texas hospitals to the brink, Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins implored a judge late Monday to buck Gov. Greg Abbott and give local officials the ability to make it mandatory for residents to wear masks.
“The enemy is not each other,” Jenkins said in a statement. “The enemy is the virus and we must all do all that we can to protect public health. School districts and government closest to the people should make decisions on how best to keep students and others safe.”
It’s the most drastic recent assault on Abbott’s authority over the state’s pandemic response by a county or city official. After Abbott lifted the statewide mask mandate in March, he stripped cities, counties and school districts of the ability to put their own mask rules in place if the pandemic flared up again. As the delta variant has spread unchecked, Abbott has held firm.
We are all going to die from a mild flu. It is known.
Likewise for attempting to enforce the state border with a foreign country.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott is taking the Biden Justice Department to task after a federal judge blocked his executive order allowing troopers to stop vehicles suspected of carrying illegal immigrants over fears they could spread COVID-19.
Abbott blasted the temporary order issued by US District Judge Kathleen Cardone of El Paso on Tuesday as “temporary and based on limited evidence.”
“We look forward to providing the Court with the evidence to support the Governor’s Executive Order to protect Texans,” he added.
Judges are now arbiters of public health issues.
Judges are arbiters of everything under the sun. They usurped the power to make laws long ago.
Like the judge that ordered someone to get the vaccine as a condition of their parole. Yeah…fuck you
Are they flaunting the order, or flouting it?
That’s some good journalisming and editizing, there.
I think I made that same mistake recently.
This is one of my pet peeves.
(also, when people who ought to know better – cops & lawyers – say “cowoborate” when they mean “corroborate”)
Exacerbate/exasperate
I’m prostrate because of my prostate.
Everyone is still FREE to wear a mask.
Baseball birthdays: HoFer Willie Wells, Rocky Colavito, Buddy Lewis, and Larry Corcoran.
Skews old today.
Corcoran went 43-14 with a 1.95 ERA as a 20 year old rookie.
It was 1880, so who the hell knows what that means.
In his first 5 seasons with the Cubs, he won 170 games, had 245 complete games and had no arm left. Fuck you, Dusty Baker.
Colavito is a pretty underrated player. He’s one of those guys who fell off a cliff in his early 30s, so his career numbers fall short of Cooperstown, but he had some monster seasons in his 20s.
Speaking of Rocky, there’s a statue unveiling for him going on today, and it’s going to be live streamed (appears to be Facebook only unfortunately). The weather isn’t really cooperating, thunderstorms and strong winds blowing through today.
Neil Peart joined Rush the day Mama Cass died. Coincidence?
Average age of breakthrough case deaths is 82.5 years old.
Which is in keeping with the fact that the elderly are the ones primarily at risk, just like the flu.
Basically, immunity works unless your immune system is shot. Imagine that.
Speaking of fanny-smacking- the bartender gave me a swat on the butt as she walked by, last night.
Needless to say, I was mortified. I was literally paralyzed with fear and shame.
Oh, wait. No I wasn’t.
*giggity*
Egos need boosting sometimes – and bartenders like tips.
But just the tip.
Sounds terrible, better call Gloria Allred.
As soon as Gloria Allred is involved, the credibility of any accusation goes right out the window.
Bracken is may be right. If there is a 2024 election and it isn’t rigged, either Tucker Carlson or Ron DeSantis is the next President.
https://gab.com/Matt_Bracken/posts/106731439459469122
Cackling Carlson. Heck, I’d stay alive long enough to see that!
“If”
Either of those would be fine with me, with Paul as VP would be especially nice.
I seriously doubt Tucker Carlson would run.
He should save a run for anything until after Fox runs him off for something or the other which they most assuredly will eventually. Why take a pay cut and if it’s for anything political and not a sex scandal or something it’d be a feather in his cap.
He could probably time his firing to just before primary season. They would have fired him long ago if he wasn’t the highest rated.show on cable.
Good morning, Banjos!
Ozy is gonna be swamped with legal work. This is truly fucked up. Everyone who wants the shot has it and those that don’t have their reasons. Unleash the lawyers!
That’s a terrific version of Wayfaring Stranger. A perfect start to the day.
Have a wonderful Tuesday, peeps!
I didn’t used to feature that guy until I saw him play with others. I always thought his first band with Meg was dumb. Then I started seeing him play with real musicians.
If I were to fail to comply with a subpoena, what would happen?
“If Brnovich determines that the county did violate state laws regarding legislative subpoenas, he will notify the county, which then will have 30 days to resolve the violation. Failure to do so would result in the state funds being withheld from the county, Catlett added.”
This is not a real consequence to breaking the law. Jail time is a real consequence to breaking the law. And people wonder why corruption and law breaking is so brazen among those in power.
Exactly. Whoever made the decision to not comply should be arrested and charged and face jail time, and pay for their own defense without raping the pockets of the taxpayers.
Average age of breakthrough case deaths is 82.5 years old.
For all the moaning about the shabby state of health care in America, we seem to have a plentiful supply of the elderly and infirm.
Modern medicine really is a miracle.
But I still haven’t heard a single ‘leader’ recommend health practices that boost the immune system and make the inevitable challenges ore survivable.
It’s almost as if there are companies out there that have a large incentive to keep as many people unhealthy as possible…
I’ll be lucky to get to there. What the fuck? Do you think that you’ll never ever die?
If there ever was an apocalypse or complete breakdown of the economy, millions would die in the first year when they lose their life-extending care and medication.
All military troops will have until Sept. 15 to get vaccinated, according to a memo sent by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to all Department of Defense employees. It could be even sooner depending on developments regarding vaccine approval or the spread of COVID-19.
Sure, “vaccinate” the very people that are at a statistically zero risk from severe symptoms from a cold. I am sure that our military’s combat readiness will be well served by poisoning the troops as much as it will be with recent woke-ification.
The internet says that 26 of the couple of million service members have died from covid. It never lies, but still.
Have you seen our readiness lately? The E-4 and below are okay…above that it is fat asses all around as the general rule.
So, some will vacillate rather than vaccinate.
… and the PLA continues licking their chops.
Well…they have enough of their own problems. Ask the Indians.
I believe PLA is having their own issues with SINOVAC and associated issues.
KK was asking about local things last night, I’m going to try and go to this on Saturday. Another glib zoomer will be there, mayhaps we’ll run into each other.
I love pinewood derby.
Ugh. I possess none of the skills needed to trick out a proper pinewood derby car, when my kids were doing this stuff my only goal was to spare them the embarrassment of finishing last. Mission accomplished, and even won an award: “Best camouflage decoration”. Participation Trophy FTW!
Phrasing?
“The enemy is not each other,” Jenkins said in a statement. “The enemy is the virus and we must all do all that we can to protect public health. School districts and government closest to the people should make decisions on how best to keep students and others safe.”
It’s like The Charge of the Light Brigade, out there.
We’re riding directly into the teeth of certain death. The best we can hope for is to die nobly, in service to the Queen.
School districts and government closest to the people should make decisions on how best to keep students and others safe.
The left embracing federalism? Lol, they’ll do anything to get you to comply.
But they wont go to complete subsidiarity and let parents decide.
Parents are even closer than school districts. Let them decide.
?
The thing I’ve never gotten – if you truly believe in masks, why would you care if other people are wearing them?
The point of these cult-like behaviors is not any rational outcome but irrational compliance. If the point is to see who is among the faithful and who isn’t then masks work amazingly well.
Because “my mask protects you, and your mask protects me”.
This week, anyway. Next week will be “Filthy antimaskers clogging up our hospitals”.
Ours not to reason why ours but to wear masks and not die?
Someone is moving in next door. Dammit.
Hopefully not Irish!

“Will THIS get more Americans vaccinated? Jen Psaki resorts to ‘Gen Z’ TikTok influencer Benny Drama to encourage vaccinations with video of him in a skirt and long nails as a White House ‘intern'”

No.

I encourage the behavior. They’re going to repulse some of those they already had on their side by doing this type of thing.

Putting breathalyzers in cars has to be the stupidest thing ever.
How can there be any roads or bridges to fix? We fixed them all just 8 years ago with Obama’s Shovel Ready Stimulus.
You know who else was shovel ready?
Anyone who’s found an “endangered” species on their land?
Not me…
No. Appointing Pete Buttplug to anything is the stupidest thing ever.
We need to be certain that the individuals designing and building those roads and bridges are chosen by intersectionality quotient rather than engineering knowledge. It’s the only possible way to demonstrate that, even though it’s impossible to ever atone for the monstrously racist nature of the nation, we’re willing to pointlessly try.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki teamed up with comedian Benito Skinner aka Benny Drama, using one of his viral characters, “Kooper the intern,” now working for President Joe Biden.
The character wanders around the White House, the White House press room, West Wing offices, and the Executive Office building pretending to do things for the Biden White House team.
“Hey Jenny, I booked you a nail appointment love,” he says to Psaki, popping into her office.
“Yeah, I didn’t tell you to do that,” Psaki replies.
“Jen! Don’t forget to have fun!” he says popping his head into the briefing room.
I think we are using the term “comedian” a little loosely here.
Uh… I’m fairly open-minded but that was, well, disgusting? Help me out here. How would you call that? Do they want everyone to hate them? Am I become the Judge?

I don’t know about disgusting. Benny’s kind of cute. I wouldn’t mind doing some truly awful things with him, except that he’s incredibly annoying and has an emotional age of about 9. I try to stay away from man-children and obvious mental defectives.

Buying subsidies?
Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. is planning to make a new, increased offer for Kansas City Southern, according to people familiar with the matter, reigniting a takeover battle with Canadian National Railway Co. for the coveted U.S. railroad.
Canadian Pacific’s board of directors met Monday to authorize a bid that values Kansas City Southern near $300 a share, the people said, or about $27 billion. There is no guarantee Canadian Pacific will follow through with the plan; if it does, it is expected to do so soon.
Kansas City Southern is the smallest of the nation’s major freight railroads. The company plays a big role in U.S.-Mexico trade, with a network stretching across both countries and contributing to its desirability as an acquisition target. Railroad takeovers are rare as regulators tend to view them warily, but Kansas City Southern is seen as one of the last operators of size that is potentially available for purchase. Its allure has only grown as the U.S. economy recovers from the slowdown triggered by the coronavirus pandemic.
An attempt to capture some of the goodies buried in that “infrastructure” bill?
I just got notified that my primary duty assibment for tomorrow is to attend a class on why the vaccine is so safeand important to get. County public health offixials will be pn hand to dispel myths. Vaccines will be available on site. No pressure. Yesterday, my doctor agreed that i most likely already had it and am immune. Im saving a pic of the hand out.
The image in my head is extremely creepy. A bunch of people in lab coats standing around with syringes, saying things like, “Come now, you want to be safe from that nasty virus don’t you? A little shot won’t hurt!” Sounds like something out of a movie.
No pressure but we’ll notify your supervisory chain of command if you don’t get it. I repeat: no pressure though.
We’ll see. I imagine it being like an old tent revival church. Take the sacrament and save your soul. They think im going to cave under the pressure from the county health dept. Hah. The Ceo email claims 5 people that work here died. Out of over 4k. He gives the breakthrough reinfection percentages, too. First time i’ve seen any solid numbers from these liars.
More like the priests of Baal offering worldly pleasures in return for sacrificing your soul.
It’s so unbelievably effective that after you get it you will still be required to wear a mask and act like you didn’t get it. I wish you the best of luck with your battle blackjack. I foresee that we will have many battles ahead of us about all this horseshit. If Newsom survives the recall I’d say some sort of lockdowns are in store for the fall/winter as well as never ending mask mandates.
Ask very inconvenient questions like “when did the phase 3 trials conclude for the vaccines and how did they turn out?”
“so, if mRNA vaccines have been around since the 90s, why didn’t anybody use them for other coronavirus outbreaks like Sars and MERS?”
“since we’re already seeing sars-cov-2 mutate, rendering the vaccine less effective, how often will I be required to get a booster shot?”
“how many aborted babies were used in testing and development of each of the available vaccines?”
“some studies are indicating that the spike protein of the sars-cov-2 virus is causing vascular damage. If that happens to me and causes permanent health consequences, who can I sue to compensate me for the harm?”
I will be asking these questions, thanks.
Or, you can just talk to your family around the dinner table about how totally safe and effective the vaccine is. No side effects, ever, totally 100% effective against all variants and those ‘breakthroughs’ you keep hearing about? Great rightwing conspiracy! Look over there, shiny object!’.
Uhh, I mean, Blackjack, uhhwhatrrrudoinere?
BJ, have you looked into antibody testing? I’ve heard Dr. Drew mention somewhere in Pasadena doing it (he didn’t specify where on-air); maybe there’s someplace closer to you.
Yes, I missed my window for getting it this weekend. I need to find one tgat will do it after 5, now, unless I get called for jury duty.
Either deal would involve a two-step process. First, a voting trust would acquire Kansas City Southern shares and, assuming necessary approvals are granted, the companies would then merge. Both the use of a trust and the merger itself need approval from the U.S. Surface Transportation Board, which requires major railroad combinations to be in the public interest and enhance competition.
——-
The drama comes as the Biden administration has singled out the railroad industry as one of the sectors in which it says regulators should confront consolidation and perceived anti-competitive pricing. In July, the administration asked the STB to combat what it calls a pattern of consolidation and aggressive pricing that has made it onerously expensive for American companies to transport goods to market.
Just nationalize the railroads. That will bring them to peak efficiency.
Can old Joe make them run on time?
The railroads have been defacto nationalized since at least the 1930s.

D.C. Gyms Want To Require Vaccination Instead of Masks. The City Said No.
(TW: Fruit Sushi)
I went out and bought a bunch of weightlifting stuff yesterday. I liked going to the gym, but I know the fuckheads will try to shut them down again. And I’ve lost faith that the gyms will resist.
Good move. Last year there was a huge shortage of equipment. I just wanted a few extra plates and couldn’t find anything. Fortunately I’ve been collecting (hoarding?) equipment for years.
I found some nice stuff on FB marketplace. All Rogue stuff that looked like it had never been used. I probably paid a little too much, but I’ll be up and running tomorrow.
I’ve been hunting marketplace for a bike. After they were bought up last year I am waiting for a deal.
You should get your pick this fall.
They are coming down already, but yeah I’m thinking another month or so and I’ll find some desperate rube.
That’s my hope. Local shops are still sold out of most bikes through next year. The trails and roads don’t look any more crowded then they did in the before times. So that’s lots of bikes sitting in someone’s garage for a year.
Now named ‘2 wheeled planet killers’.
Once you’ve caved in to the premise that anything needs to be required vis a vis the virus you’ve fucking lost. A sad and stupid attempt at compromise.
Now that I have the space for a home gym, this is what I want to do. Gonna have to add stuff a little at a time though because, now that I’m looking at it, that stuff ain’t cheap.
Get a friend to share the costs, you’ll need a spotter anyway and maybe he/she will give up and you’ll own all the equipment. You’re right about the cost but it ain’t gonna wear out and always has some retail value.
So effective we’re weeks – at best – away from more lockdowns.
But just for two

I liked going to the gym, but I know the fuckheads will try to shut them down again. And I’ve lost faith that the gyms will resist.
And as you(?) already said, why would our public health experts make an attempt to encourage people to become healthier?
Shut down the gyms. Lock everyone indoors. That will keep us safe.
Never was about health.
Sure it was, is. The 20% who survive the Great Reset will be healthier, since they’ll be social distanced by at least 10 miles in the New Normal.
Too bad they’ll starve to death.
But, bonus for the new elite. They’ll be social distanced by at least 100 miles from everyone else and they won’t starve to death, thus still be able to keep all the rest of us safe, as long as we get our 1000th vaccine and wear 3 masks at all times.
I imagine it being like an old tent revival church. Take the sacrament and save your soul. They think im going to cave under the pressure from the county health dept.
In every presentation I have ever seen (not a lot) involving a county/city health official, the featured “health expert” was morbidly obese, and appeared to be in such poor physical condition that climbing a flight of stairs could be construed as a life-threatening activity.

Wouldn’t be surprised if in their grandeur they still allow the serfs to serve food in there but, nah, you can’t eat it. Go home and starve, you peasant.

Durbin said, “Well, it is its own version. I would say just look at the progression of events. First, the onslaught of lawsuits going through the Judiciary with many of the judges that he appointed. He figured he would find a friend who would open up the conversation about there being some sort of fraudulent voter count in one of the states. Didn’t work. He tried 50 or 60 times. Then he went to the Department of Justice and decided he would manipulate the attorney general into really initiating an investigation into particular states.”
He continued, “Then came finally January 6th, we know what happened then, he turned the mob loose on the United States Capitol in an effort to subvert the constitutional process. So we should not dismiss this as just a bad day for Donald Trump. It was a conscious plan, strategy that did not work. Thank goodness the Constitution held, and we finally have the new president.”
I don’t even know where to begin here.
Yeah, thank God. Biden is doing such a great job.

Why Do American Grocery Stores Still Have an Ethnic Aisle?
A sensible question followed by claptrap
So where SHOULD they be stocked? If you’re calling out a problem, there should be an answer.
In the Mexican Supermarket or the Japanese Supermarket or the Filipino Market….segregation is grand is it not?
It’s a good question – having worked in a grocery store as a kid.
Obvious answer is if possible where other similar products are. So basmati rice just goes with the rice. Ramen noodles would go in the pasta section.
Problem is as Drake mentions below WTF do you with a chutney?
A made up problem nonetheless.
WHAT ABOUT MANGO CHUTNEY!
Because if I had to walk around the whole fucking store looking for a jar of chutney, I’d just give up and go to the Indian market.
Right. These people are insufferable and full of shit.
And those ingredients usually go with other ingredients conveniently located nearby. Like they bring up (Italian) pasta sauce. You know what is usually located right next to (Italian) pasta sauce? (Italian) Pasta!
Stocking ingredients that go well together and are likely to be purchased together is racist.
You are braver than I, to click on that flapdoodle.
We have British section. And a German one. Do they mention those foods?
Where else am I to get my biscuits and crisps and wine gummies?!
the ethnic aisle is part of “a legacy of white supremacy and colonialism” built into the framework of the grocery business
That must be it. No other explanation makes sense.
Oh, I don’t know, I’m pretty much down with the “whiner is full of more shit than a Christmas goose” theory.
I can’t wait for TMITE to not print follow up stories about ethnics complaining after supermarkets shuffle around all the ethnic foods.
