Good morning my Glibs and Gliberinas! And what a lovely morning it always is!
Hurricane Ida death toll hits 60.
The corporate media is the enemy of the people.
Regular propagator of fake news, refuses to delete tweet pushing fake news story.
Brushing off Supreme Court rulings, Calif. county fines church as commercial enterprise.
If you are relying on Satanists, you might need to rethink your life.
That’s all I got for today. I’ll leave you with a song and move along with my day.

Say wut?
AP corrects article claiming 70 percent of calls to Mississippi Poison Control were about ivermectin ingestion
They must be horse from all the lying.
These people have neither shame nor care about anything but helping their side win, so even after getting caught and exposed, feel any obligation to get off the stage or to actually work towards getting shit right. The fact that when they are caught they just get to keep going on is why we are so fucked today. There is no cost for being caught shilling.
In those circles, hypocrisy is a virtue. The only real news is being done by independent journalists. All legacy outfits are utterly compromised. Full ministry of truth style.
I hear ya, but I wonder about people that lie publicly like this, get caught and exposed as lying fucking shills, but then go on as if the only problem was that they were caught. I am not sure anyone should take someone that fucking despicable and without morality as a source of anything ever again. I myself would immediately dismiss anything someone that has done this shit as a source in perpetuity, even if they are right, going forward, but some people seem to not care.
*Most people do not care.
Even about the people supposedly giving you “news” but instead just giving you propaganda to assign you what to believe? That’s one heck of an indictment on the people that stick with these lying shills…
I have yet to see any evidence that anyone really cares outside a select few liberty autists. Have you? Wouldn’t people get fired for making such egregious errors? Wouldn’t behavior change?
The evidence is in their falling profits. We’re in a high P/E environment and media companies are the laggards; newspaper companies are selling for peanuts compared to just 20 years ago; Radio and local TV stations that sold for 16x cash flow 20 years ago are barely fetching 3x cash flow now. Fox dumped all their regional sports networks onto Disney, who decided months later they weren’t profitable enough and sold then cheaply to Sinclair who are not seeing the revenue match their projections.
Eventually Google, Facebook, and twitter will succumb to the temptation to buy up these dinosaurs and that will be the beginning of the end for them too.
I myself would immediately dismiss anything someone that has done this shit as a source in perpetuity
Yup. This is the stronger reason why I’m so strongly against the vaccines. I can’t determine with certainty how seriously to take some of the widely circulated critiques of the vaccines, but I see known liars and evil organizations hawking them like used car salesmen. That, in and of itself, is enough to make me highly skeptical.
^This^
If Trudy and his fellow travellers are for it then I’m against it. Full stop!
This shit goes way beyond the vaccines for me.. One thing I am horribly saddened by is that so many people still worship at the altar of “experts” after we had the Kung Flu shitshow make it obvious that the “expert class” was nothing but politically and personally motivated fucking shills, and anyone taking them as knowledgeable sources without verifying the shit they were saying, was being an idiot. How fucking often can they see the “experts” completely and stupidly contradict themselves, censor/punish people that later turn out to be right, or watch people do dances, when questioned about suspect pronouncements, to avoid exposing themselves as nothing but political partisan hacks, before they figure out these experts are just assholes that would say and do whatever it took to get TeeVee time?
I get the distinct impression that the expert class is terrified that their entire edifice of respect, trust , and power is about to come crashing down around them.
Someone posted an article here two weeks ago discussing the end of the technocracy and I think it was spot on.
Cosigned.
This, and I trust my own immune system to do what it does more than whatever the hell they are pushing on me.
That’s how you know the Sicknick story was a deliberate lie from the start. If the NYT had been taken advantage of, they would have burned that source as badly as Jayson Blair. But they weren’t so they didn’t.
Who was their source?
That’s just it — AFAIK they haven’t revealed xem. Which conveniently keeps anyone from verifying that the even was a source to begin with.
see, e.g., Dan Rather
Didn’t these assholes recently give him an award for meaning well? That’s a dead giveaway that for these people facts & truth are less important than serving the narrative and the people that benefit from it…
They’ve undermined any credibility they might have had.
The only people that trust them at this point are the ones that will not be disabused of that notion until they’re lined up against a wall.
I’ve been seeing young folks driving alone masked again.
I went to a restaurant last Friday. The only masked people were in their 20s. All older folk were unmasked. The youth of today are pathetic. If there ever was a moment for rebellion, its now.
I really hope that once these youth realize how badly they have been lied to, manipulated by baseless fear, artificially limited, put out of work, and had opportunities stolen from them, they will wake up and find an interest in liberty, or at the very least develop an exceptionally acute skepticism about authorities.
They will demand government fix the problems caused by past government actions once the right people are in charge.
it’s weird how it’s different in different places.
At the church we’ve been visiting the very old and the middle aged are least masked. The younger people (with elementary school age kids) are the most masked as are the people in their late 50s and 60s.
Walking into certain grocery stores, the younger people are unmasked and the older people are most masked.
I can’t really pull it together into a particular trend.

He was just feeling his oats.
one county is expanding its efforts to pursue damages against a church, claiming their worship services are a public nuisance.
Hey silicon valley Christians… They hate you and want you dead. Internalize this fact and start acting accordingly.
Yeah, it’s hard to read that any other way.
“Another version of the correction issued reiterated that the number of ivermectin-related calls to poison control was about 2 percent. And of those calls, 70 percent were by patients who had ingested the veterinary version of the medicine.
Based on the corrected Associated Press figures, the Daily Wire calculated Monday that a grand total of 1.4 percent of the calls to Mississippi Poison Control were from patients who had ingested the livestock form of ivermectin.”
First Rolling Stone, and now this. Somebody really hates ivermectin.
“Rolling Stone, Insider, Newsweek, The Guardian and The New York Daily News reported the KFOR story, which has yet to be updated with the statement from the hospital system. Rolling Stone, Insider and The Guardian have included the statement, while Newsweek and The New York Daily News have not.”
I can see why Pharma, which wants to peddle a new, patented and expensive pill wouldn’t want people to know something cheap and off patent like ivermectin works, but why are the woke fucks going along with them if it isn’t because the woke are now owned by the billionaire class?
Because of TDS. Plain and simple. Trump mentioned that Ivermectin is proving to be an effective treatment so they are going apeshit trying to stop people from using it.
Pure evil.
I had a conversation recently where I pointed out to someone that they basically took whatever opposite stance Trump had taken, only to later end up being proven wrong (and Trump right, if not not wrong), about what was going on. That person didn’t have an “a-HAH!” moment, but freaked out at me for forcing them to confront this reality. And she was furious that I then pointed out that if she wanted me to take her claim she was smart and logical about these things rather than a fucking puppet on a string being played by a bunch of lying asshats seriously, she would have to address this emotional shit. There are so many people out there that want you to believe they are logical and smart but are nothing but emotionally manipulated fools.
Is it really TDS? Being a good (l)ibertarian capitalist, I’m always leery of the evil exploitative corporation, but with pharma and the fascistic revolving door/intimate ties to the regulatory agencies, it’s really hard not to see a regulatory capture issue here. There’s a lot of money to be made and the regulatory agencies seem to be incentivized to promote the interests of the pharma companies over good, solid medical science. SLD, correct solution is to minimize/eliminate the state as a gatekeeper.
The fascist collectivist system came into being because disillusioned marxists realized marxism simply would never work out into anything but misery as it pursued its agenda of picking winners & losers. Marxism, which removes private ownership – meaning it makes the state the owner of everything – is doomed because the most important characteristic wanted in the people running the marxist state isn’t expertise, but quasi religious adherence to the teachings of marxism and absolute loyalty to the state (meaning the people in power). The fascists quickly realized this fact and how detrimental it would be to any government shaped like this. They found the solution to this problem of the people in power making the decisions lacking the required expertise prevalent in the marxist system – resulting in all the problems of scarcity and illogic that plagued every communist state we saw in the 20th century and beyond – by creating a fusion of state & private sector, but one where the state controls the private sector through laws to pick the winners & losers.
We live in a world where the fascists won and their system runs the west (while the marxist continue to call that capitalism). It is almost a given that a fascist system would create a billionaire class because quasi-monopolistic giant entities are far easier to control than smaller individual and really free ones.
disillusioned marxists realized marxism simply would never work out into anything but misery as it pursued its agenda of picking winners & losers.
Disagreed. They saw and see it as a first step toward their marxist utopia. If you can’t get rid of the corporations, at least co-opt them.
At the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter if there is direct socialist central planning or if the central planning passes through a thin puppet layer of corporatists. That planning shit is boring anyway. The fun stuff is making wrongthinkers suffer by undercutting their culture, cutting them off from the market, and forcing them to slave away for companies that hate them.
“Disagreed. They saw and see it as a first step toward their marxist utopia. If you can’t get rid of the corporations, at least co-opt them.”
You might want to read Mussolini’s ramblings and Hitler’s Mein Kampf….
The woke have been owned by the billionaire class for a very long time.
It is funny, how the Marxists always end up a willing tool of the Elites…
It would be interesting to hear how these were resolved. What doses were ingested? What were the problems experienced? What treatment was undertaken? What were the outcomes?
Ben Shapiro is annoying, but I assume he can do math.
“Hurricane Ida death toll hits 60.”
This shit stood out to me. With the warning, the evacuation plans, and all the tech we have today, this number feels high and indicative of something not working right. Even if you take out that incident about some old guy getting attacked by a gator in his own flooded house….
All I am saying this would not happen in a civilized country like Germany
And the majority of deaths were in NJ and NY.
/broken record
You just hate New Yorkers admit it
Considering most of them give the Massholes a run for the “we are the biggest assholes you will ever meet” for their money, I can see why people would feel that way about them… Especially the woke and loud idiots amongst them.
On the other hand I heard the best sports fans in America are in New York. As sports fans can be assholes, if NY has the best ones they can’t be all bad
/tosses PieInTheSky a well made Great Lakes beer
Go to Philly for a sport event and come talk to me…
As long as it is not Boston because fuck the Celtics
Knick and Ranger fans are great. Yankee and Met fans are mostly fair weather. Jets and Giants fans are solid.
More like New York’s and New Jersey’s “leaders” hate New Yorkers and New Jerseyanians.
“The Satanic Temple unveils its statue of Baphomet, a winged-goat creature, at a rally for the first amendment in Little Rock, Ark., Thursday, Aug. 16, 2018. The Satanic Temple wants to install the statue on Capitol grounds as a symbol for religious freedom after a monument of the Biblical Ten Commandments was installed in 2017. ”
But Thomas Jefferson is cancelled.
Cool statue though
I’m gonna get some flak here for this, but I oppose the Satanist abortion ritual for the same reason I oppose circumcision of infants. The practice of your religion or custom doesn’t take primacy over another individual’s rights to their own body.
what about virgin sacrifices? Without them the sun will no longer rise
So…
?
Death was right?
*standing ovation*
Given that a large percentage of the population, perhaps a majority, dont subscribe to the notion of natural rights this is not surprising.
“The practice of your religion or custom doesn’t take primacy over another individual’s rights to their own body.”
Sadly true
The satanists were occasionally amusing on social media when they did not get too political.
They can’t help themselves in that regard.
Considering they were explicitly founded as a political organization…
Does drinking cow’s milk help children grow taller?
https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/milk-children-height-1.4149832
Nutrition team finds 3-year-olds consuming alternative milks were 1.5 cm shorter on average
It’s all the growth hormones in the milk! Or are they putting anti-growth hormones in the alternates?
Not reading the article, but were all of these “alternative milks” plant slurries?
The Toronto mother has been a vegan for four years and thinks carefully about the food she gives her two-year-old daughter, Everest Frenke. Sometimes she adds flax oil, peanut butter or hemp seeds to soy milk to ensure her daughter is getting important nutrients.
Wild-ass guessing, but I’d bet that the height decrease wouldn’t be seen if the alternative milks were goat, sheep or equine.
Alternative hypothesis: a large proportion of kids drinking alternative milks are doing so because of genetic incompatibilities with cow milk. Those genetic incompatibilities may correlate with being smaller.
here we do not get many lactose intolerant people really… I am unsure about Canada I doubt lactose intolerance is increasing but maybe it is taken more serious. I suspect health reasons are mostly not incompatibility but cannot be sure
It is more environmental than genetic. If you are milk-poor and stop drinking milk when you are weaned you develop lactose intolerance. If you drink milk steadily through childhood into adulthood you will have a lifetime tolerance of lactose.
Like all wokety woke bullshit milk alternatives are a bad idea.
I will forward the results of Dr. Suthen’s study to my wife, who became lactose intolerant after age 40 despite having had milk virtually every day since infancy. I’m sure she’ll be glad to hear she can stop paying extra for soy latte’s, consequences be damned.
soy latte’? all the cool people in Europe moved on to oat milk for coffee
I’ve heard that theory before. It’s bullshit. Cow’s milk didn’t play nice with my then 1.5 year old, despite actively being weaned from breastmilk and formula. Wife is lactose intolerant (technically a milk allergy, but I don’t really know the difference), and daughter #1 has had the same issue ever since the first time she tried drinking the stuff.
I am lactose intolerant. But I don’t care. My wife deals with the consequences, not me.
People who are intolerant to stuff are genetically inferior because the more you can eat the more genetically superiorer you are because you are more adapted to the world.
I drank cow’s milk as a child. Love it, in fact. I found low-carb somewhere in the mid 90s and was religious about it (this, did not drink milk) and then, if I drank a glass of milk, it would do horrible things to me. I still love it, but it still hates me.
I looked at an RV yesterday that was absolutely perfect for me. It was priced slightly above Blue Book, and the dealer will undoubtedly get the asking price in this market. It’s over my budget. At any rate, I’ll contact the dealer in a couple weeks on the off chance he hasn’t sold it and make him a lowball offer.
It had a built-in generator, y’all.
Oh well. Onward!
Over Blue Book, who cares?
If this what you want and you can afford it, make your offer.
^ this ^
You might want to look into the gas mileage on that thing.
OMG I hadn’t thought of that
How many gallons to the mile?
The Mrs. and I looked into one. Then I found out it took 400 bucks to drive 200 miles.
Jeebus, from here to the redneck riviera I could buy a couple of plane tickets and a very nice hotel room for that.
Most of the people you see driving those things around have a church or corporation paying their tab.
I love the idea of it but not the price tag.
I think the context of her desire to buy an RV is important–it’s not for occasional travel.

Best. Timeline. Ever.
Uhmmm…. The only thing that’s been denied by the courts was an emergence injunctions. And that was only denied because the way the law is written, the government has no role in enforcing the law, so there is no one to enjoin. The cases to overturn the law are still out there, with more coming the first time it’s actually used. “last hope” my ass. I’m not a big fan of the chicanery the Texas legislature used to get the law into effect and away from the courts initially, but once again the other side if blatantly lying about whats happening.
Yup. Requiring you be in violation of a shitty law before it can be challenged is shitty. Nobody wants to risk jail time in the hopes of being the one to get a law overturned.
Fortunately for those of us who enjoy sodomy, there were a couple of dudes that got off by being watched.
Thank you for this, Breet (heh). Seems you have an excellent grasp on this. Any way you could give us (Glibs) a short article on this, say 600-800 words?
I saw some proggies toting this as a win. When your position is so tenuous “the Satanists will save us” is an option you really ought to rethink your life.
Ben John: Right-wing extremist gets suspended jail sentence
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-58397088
A right-wing extremist found guilty of possessing a bomb-making instruction manual has been given a suspended jail sentence.
Ben John, from Lincoln, was convicted of having a copy of The Anarchist Cookbook on a computer hard drive.
Lincolnshire Police described him as a “white supremacist with a neo-Nazi ideology”.
At Leicester Crown Court, John, 21, of Addison Drive, received a 24-month sentence, suspended for two years.
He was arrested in January 2020, and later charged with offences under the Terrorism Act, including possessing documents on combat, homemade weapons and explosives.
The force said John had become part of the Extreme Right Wing (XRW) online – a term for activists who commit criminal activity motivated by a political or cultural view, such as racism or extreme nationalism.
He amassed 67,788 documents in bulk downloads onto hard drives, which contained a wealth of white supremacist and anti-Semitic material.
One of the hard drives was found hidden inside a sock when police searched his home, officers said.
He was convicted by a jury of one count of possessing information likely to be useful to a terrorist and cleared of six other counts of the same offence.
I somehow copied more text than I wanted
That’s what she said…
Wait, he was punished for owning some book they disapproved of, not a real crime? I wonder if these asshats would treat some minority – let’s say a follower of Muhamad – the same way…..
Fuck me, these people seem to have read “1984” and “Brave New World” and took them as “How to” manuals…
I had a copy of that book back in the 80’s. Got it from one of those mail-order survivalist catalogs.
I may have a copy laying around somewhere. Most of it is bullshit so I may have tossed it some years back. I knew more than the nonsense printed in that book before I was 14 years old. By that age I also knew that any plan that starts with ‘No one gets hurt’ is always the best plan.
I have a copy that I bought while I was in high school. A coworker’s second job was at Waldenbooks. He ordered it for me using his employee discount. He brought it into work. I handed him cash for it.
I hope those cops had fun retrieving that hard drive from that crusty sock.
First you take away the tools, then you take away the ability to make tools.
What a bunch of lying sacks of shit.
“It’s been revealed that the Associated Press has issued an embarrassing correction to its fear-mongering article claiming that 70 percent of calls to Mississippi Poison Control were about ivermectin ingestion. The actual number was 2 percent.”
The ad I am seeing at the top of the page is “How to take a shit”. I am not sure who to blame for that.
‘Maddow’
You dont need to read any further than that.
I didnt think the SC murder family story could get worse. I was wrong.
Pray for SMOD.
At least the Satanists and Leftists are honest.
First amendment? Pffffft.
The 2% number still seems very high.
How many calls do they actually get in a day?
“its members should be allowed to purchase abortion pills in Texas under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) so as to be used in what the Temple referred to as their ‘Abortion Rituals'”
I guess that tracks with the whole worshipping Satan thing. Gotta give them credit for being consistent.
Are there abortion pills that are prescribed past the point of a fetal heartbeat stage?
Falling down the stairs?
I don’t think they worship satan though
LaVeyan Satanists don’t. They’re materialists.
They are really more of a 1A troll organization which uses the trappings of Satanism to up the outrage factor. They have done some good political theater.
Ditto the Phelps family and Westboro Baptist. Except Westboro has been significantly more efficacious at suing to strike down 1A violating laws while receiving far less friendly press coverage.
About 15 years ago I read “The Road to Damascus” by Ring and Evans. Set in Laumer’s Bolo universe, it’s about a planet that very quickly goes from relatively free and normal to an insane tyrannical madhouse. I understood the warning but didn’t really believe it was possible.
Well I was wrong. Australia and New Zealand are there faster even than the book.

The media blackout on the truckers blockade in Australia is amazing.
https://www.infowars.com/posts/grocery-shelves-bare-in-australia-as-trucker-strike-covid-isolation-for-workers-reels-country/
“But the grocery chains insist the shortages are due to the stores “doing their part” to keep employees from working to reduce COVID spread”
“Doing their part” = “causing massive food shortages”? Explain to me how that’s better than admitting the truckers are bringing civilization to a halt to fight tyranny?
The Sept. 4th video linked in the Infowars article nothing to do with a trucker strike.
I call bullshit that a trucker strike is happening in Australia.
I don’t know DEG. There seem to be differing opinions on the article you linked in the comments below. Some are suggesting that the news is trying to bury it by claiming it was a motorcycle accident.
As one of the commenters pointed out, if that were the case, why are there no other vehicles in that video? Where are the cars, the motorcycles, campers, etc. It’s just trucks, as far as the eye can see.
It is hard to forever keep people from the authoritarianism they so long for . Liberty can succeed in spurts here and there but it will be temporary and with struggle.
^^^So. Much. This.
People talk a big game, but by-and-large hate freedom.
Sadly, I have to agree.
Children and cowards long for a strong hand to keep them from dropping an anvil on their foot.
Um… That’s not a good look either, guys.
Madness.
Yeah, my thought there was “they consider that a win?”
Australia is exhibit A of why you never give up your guns. 1st world country to concentration camps in a matter of months.
Ding ding ding.
No one wants you unable to defend yourself for your own good. Give up your guns and. you will find out that those people have plans for you and when you find out what those plans are you wont like it very much.
TBF: gun ownership in Australia was not as widespread as it is in the US. Not as low as, say, the UK but still fairly low and more concentrated in rural areas.
I’ve linked stories about this before, and won’t link again: There are more guns in private hands in Australia now than before their gun control laws passed.
On the other hand, gun ownership is more concentrated (i.e. fewer gun owners per capita) than before their gun controls pass.
There are plenty of guns in Australia.
Guns are useless if you dont have balls.
What the hell happened to those people?
And apparently the guns they did have couldn’t even kill emus
Don’t disagree. BUT, whatever you want to call it, “gun culture” maybe (although I dislike that term for any number of reasons), was just very different in Australia. The idea that you had a right to own guns to defend your home and your family just wasn’t there. That said, I concede that anecdotal evidence has its limitations.
On ownership: NZ is seeing a significant uptick in gun crimes since their massive crackdown on ownership a couple of years back.
It probably helps (in the US that is) that our existence as a country was dependent on the colonists shooting the Brits with privately owned arms until they gave up. Australia and other former colonies that were granted their independence peacefully don’t have that historical backdrop.
True. Plus, despite all the jokes, being founded as a penal colony was surely a factor. You’re not handing out guns to convicts working on chain gangs.
““There is going to be a vaccinated economy, and you get to participate in that if you are vaccinated,” Andrews said. “We’re going to move to a situation where, to protect the health system, we are going to lock out people who are not vaccinated and can be.””
There was an article in some CCP-controlled rag (can’t be arsed to dig it up) calling out Australia as emblematic of Western democracies’ hypocrisy; that for all their talk about human rights, freedom and equality, they’re corrupt and far worse than China.
Is Australia worse than China? Probably not. But the fact that CCP propaganda is even half right is beyond comprehension.
Talk about the totalitarian shithole calling the kettle black.
That article someone linked to the other day about the CCP basically calling all the shots through all of this is beginning to look spot-on.
This one?
I’m *still* trying to find time to read it. Everytime I try, I get interrupted.
That’s the one.
I have a quibble in that I believe mass lockdowns (if only at the city level) were used during the Spanish Flu but otherwise it makes a convincing argument that China is basically running the show worldwide.
Tablet articles tend to be long, but it’s a good read.
You would have to define “worse” in very specific terms then do research in order to make that call.
China is like an old medieval kingdom. Not free, but the king isn’t going to let anything too crazy happen as it will jeopardize his position and disrupt tax collection.
Places like Russia and Belarus are undeniably freer than Australia now.
AUS and NZ have more in common with Juche or Wahhabism than the authoritarianism of China.
It’s time to ponder whether North Koreans have more freedoms today than Australians.
“You’d think with a plague that’s a massive existential threat to all of civilization, an FDA approved med that’s safe (in the correct doses) that shows a great deal of promise would be cause of celebration and would be being trumpeted from the rooftops. I don’t want to be a conspiracy theorist, but maybe there’s something else at foot with ivermectin.” ~ what I’m hoping even the normies who aren’t super plugged in politically are thinking right now.
Everyone paying attention thought it over a year ago when they silenced the doctors advocating cloriquine and banned it’s use.
If you need evidence that this is absolutely not about public health, just consider that there is undisputed evidence that a deficiency of Vitamin D is heavily correlated with worse COVID outcomes. Vitamin D is necessary for proper immune function, it’s near impossible to overdose on, and it’s insanely cheap and available.
Yet, nobody at the national level (and very few at the state level) has even suggested that Vitamin D supplementation would improve COVID outcomes, particularly during the winter months.
Their are only two possible explanations for this:
1) They are insanely incompetent.
2) They are not motivated by actual public health and have an ulterior motive.
Where can I read about this evidence?
https://www.covidstrategies.org/vitamin-d-and-covid-19-the-current-state-of-the-evidence/
Keep in mind, the correlation is between those who are vitamin D deficient and worse outcomes. Vitamin D does not have an effect beyond normal levels.
Ah. So if you have a vitamin ‘d’ deficiency your odds are survival will be greatly improved by fixing the problem.
Exactly. Correcting that deficiency is cheap and a big bang for the buck.
So why aren’t they addressing it?
Another thing that reduces the impact of COVID is being fit. So naturally, closing beaches and gyms is the answer, as is telling people to mask up outside (giving couch potatoes one more excuse).
They should have been telling people to get outside and get their steps in every day, and emphasizing how many of the deaths related to the morbidly obese.
Vitamin D is necessary for proper immune function, it’s near impossible to overdose on, and it’s insanely cheap and available.
Likewise for vitamin C.
Why, it is almost as if a secret cabal of malthusians really meant it when they advocating killing off 2/3 of the population of humans.
Almost.
I was on FB shortly this weekend. A cousin of ours, who is married to a doctor, posted a thing about Joe Rogan taking a horse worming pill. I was this/close to calling her out. I was planning on something like:
“Are you claiming Ivermectin’s only use is for horse worming, and it has never been used on humans for anything? Because I feel like you’re being misleading.”
And then:
“Are you purposefully saying misleading things to make someone you don’t like look bad? Because that’s not a good look for you.”
I don’t have a whole lot of hope for normies. The narrative is set and it’s a full court press. If you disagree you are a crazy conspiracy theorist.
Our society is done for. The writing has been on the wall for a while
It’s shit like this that makes me black pilled. People who have no skin in the game dehumanizing their neighbors for choosing a different medical treatment than their own preferences. Who does that? Who can be arsed to care about what other people are doing to treat a souped up cold virus?
The inventor of Ivermectin won a Nobel Prize in 2015 for it’s use on humans.

I wish to be more judgmental about this.
How did he die?
I would assume heart problems associated with a lifetime of hard drug use. 54 is a reasonable age to go out with a heavily abused ticker.

Article I read said from apparent overdose. I can’t be arsed to find the article now.
Curt Davis, Dave Foutz, Hooks Wiltse, Joe Rudi, Willie Crawford, and Mark Prior.
Pretty mediocre list. Although Prior putting up 15.7 WAR in only 5 seasons is pretty impressive.

RE: Abortion.
In my younger years I fashioned myself as pro-choice, mostly to get laid and blend in with the “smart-set”. As I got older, I became more-or-less apathetic to the issue and dismissed it as a meaningless proxy battle in the bigger TEAM kulturkampf.
However, I have to give the “pro-choice” (read: pro-abortion) movement credit; they have exposed themselves as such a thorough band of disgusting, anti-moral, anti-life, blood thirsty death cultists that I’d support a 100% abortion ban with a tiny loophole for rape (and then only if the victim files a credible police report to prevent that loophole from being abused). Standing in opposition to these monsters has, to me, become a moral imperative in-and-of itself.
I’m getting there myself.
I’m torn between the pro-life position and the keeping government out of medical decisions position.
“First, do no harm.”
Not always an easy decision but defaulting on behalf of the person who has no say in it is pretty safe.
“In my younger years I fashioned myself as pro-choice, mostly to get laid and blend in with the “smart-set”.”
I have told most pro abortion women this when discussing the topic…
You have been bamboozled about abortion, because it exists to protect young dudes that want to avoid responsibility and dealing with consequences of bad choices. Not to give you choices or freedom.
In fact, show me a guy that isn’t a total chuck that’s pro abortion, and they are there because they calculate it is the final backup to avoid being snagged by some woman spawning their offspring.
The pro-choice people won long ago but seem committed to legalizing infanticide.
Because it was never about “protecting women in though situations”, but about allowing people to shirk responsibility and use abortion just as another form of contraception…
But until recently we pretended that no one used abortion as contraception. Now it’s obvious that yes, many people do. And it’s ghoulish. Inhuman.
And the people that encourage this “abortion as contraception” are pissed that they have been forced to admit this. Especially since after they went all in and told you you have no right to refuse a vaccine they now are well aware that using the old “My body, my choice” shtick from yore will fuck them in the ass on this topic….
I’m an abortion agnostic.
Like a rather high percentage of Americans. I would prefer it at least be stopped when a baby is viable outside of the womb.
I worry about laws like this Texas law. I think they mobilize Democrats and are far below the majority opinion cut off.
Ideally we’d just get read of the ridiculously anti-intellectual Roe vs. Wade decision and allow states to set normal laws.
I’m in the “more-or-less apathetic” camp, myself.
I do wonder how the pro-life side reconciles the ‘abortion is murder’ view with the carveouts for sexual abuse and the health of the mother.
Most don’t. Which is why they usually talk about “life of the mother” instead of “health”. The former makes perfect sense.
^^
If anything, those carveouts have been embraced solely to try to find pragmatic common ground to ban the vast majority of abortions.
How the baby was made and whether the mother will have a rough pregnancy have no bearing on the personhood of the baby.
Okay, if it’s solely a matter of pragmatism, I get that. I may disagree with that view, but at least it’s backed by a certain level of moral consistency.
I think underlying it is the idea that using abortion to terminate a voluntary pregnancy is birth control under another name. Actions have consequences, and one of the consequences of having sex (even “protected” by borth control) is abortion. Its a foreseeable risk. But this is an uncomfortable bedfellow with “
lifepersonhood begins at conception”, to say the least.Me, I’m a “no abortion after viability” guy, for reasons I have explained.
If you hold that abortion is killing, but recognize there are times when killing is acceptable, there is no issue.
Self defense, combatant on a battlefield in times of war, in defense of others being preyed on by an attacker are examples where society carves out an exception to the “we generally don’t hold with killing people” rule.
Well “they” are not just a uniform ideological block, which I’m sure you appreciate.. There’s a misconception that acknowledging and being compassionate about the life of the mother or acknowledging very specific individual medical circumstances is somehow a “concession” on which their entire worldview falls apart. Not so.

And with that I’m off to my bunk. Good day, Glibbies!

Agh! Bring back the waffle!
What is seen cannot be unseen. Muahahhahahahaha
The corporate media is the enemy of the people.
And just recently Jim Acosta insisted that they are not. He also stated that people that disagree with CNN and the current regime are the “American Taliban”.
re: the Murdaugh story. There are a LOT of dead people around that guy. Crazy story.
The combo of “stole millions” and “mysterious superficial head wound” are . . . suggestive, no?
His kid sounds like he was a real piece of work, too. Apple, tree?
Suggestive, yes. You could say that. Every thing about that story stinks like hell.
Both kids. One killed a girl drunk-boating, and is also suspected of pushing the maid down the stairs. The other son is a person of interest in the beating death of a kid; either a gay-bashing or something more personal.
And grandpa dies 3 days after mom and son are killed. Natural causes/stress are completely plausible, but when there are that many bodies around this family I hope they looked really closely during his autopsy.
It must be fall. At the match on Sunday, a flock of Hatebirds, the Birds That Hate went by overhead. Thirty-six armed individuals wistfully looked at them go by, restrained by the rules of the club and the match.
There is no “Target of Opportunity” exception to the rules?
Not for a pistol match. If it were a trap shoot, well, that’s a whole different deal.
But yeah, wildlife is often very stupid about avoiding shooting ranges. I’ve had deer wander across the range while I’m sighting in my rifle.
I’ve seen deer decide to graze their way through machine gun and tank gunnery ranges while they we in use.
Chipmunks run around our .22 shooting gallery.
Both of my clubs prohibit hunting on/from club property. The wildlife is the opposite of stupid.
If it were a trap shoot, well, that’s a whole different deal.
I can just see it.
/Parris Island cadence ON
“Line, load with #1 shot!”
“Line, high ready! Prepare to select aerial targets!”
“Line, fire when ready!”
At Fort Richardson, we occasionally had to cease fire in the middle of a shoot because deer or moose hanging out in the trees would dash across once firing started.
Pater Dean tells a story of a deer wandering onto the range during recoilless rifle training at Quantico.
Everybody shot at the deer. With light artillery.
Everybody missed.
Geese generally fly over us here. They are hopping over us from the midwest fields to the gulf coast. No.1 buck is recommended for that kind of height. The problem is that we have too many people now and it is not safe for shooting up at that angle.
What the hell, I can buy a goose at Mac’s Fresh Market for less than the price of a box of shells.
This is one of the signs of how rich we have become as a country. Two generations ago, hunting for food – at least in my KY family – was a requirement to survive. It is cheaper to buy a goose than to shoot a free one flying overhead. And no one bothers to sell squirrel.
It’s been revealed that the Associated Press has issued an embarrassing correction to its fear-mongering article claiming that 70 percent of calls to Mississippi Poison Control were about ivermectin ingestion. The actual number was 2 percent.
70 percent, 2 percent, what’s the big deal?
McElyea told KFOR, “The ERs are so backed up that gunshot victims were having hard times getting to facilities where they can get definitive care and be treated.”
This reeks of bullshit. Wouldn’t triage move the gunshot victims to the front of the line?
That turned out to be false, yes. You called it.
If you’re not exposed to such people you may not be aware that these falsehoods are more or less permanent among a large percentage of people who want to believe them. The “hospitals can’t get enough ventilators and it’s all Bad Orange Man’s fault” lie, among all the others, is still absolute gospel among many, even if the “journalists” who originally peddled it to them quietly moved away from it.
Just think of every major lie spread as “fact” and “truth” by the MSM in the past five years. To a large extent they have all become absolute truth to a very significant portion of the population, and the world outside the US. It’s so toxic that you can’t even bring it up to counter any of it or suggest that it’s objectively false. It’s futile.
Dissolve the political bands.
I should have made that a comment in its own right, or just given up or something. Eh.
I recently had a leftist idiot tell me straight out “Facts dont matter.”
What do you say to someone like that?
What do you say to someone like that?
“You need to understand that I am not backing down. Wherever you try to peddle your insanity, I will be there. Whenever you try to force your stupidity on me, I will fight you. As you try to oppress me, I will make sure that you receive tenfold what you dole out. You can invite as much evil into your life as you want, but you won’t be pushing it on me. Comprende? “
No. The specific details of the allegation might have been somewhat inaccurate, but the overall principles that OMB and stupid rednecks are inbred gunloving subhumans that should die, are absolutely true.
Politifact rates it “Mostly True.”
Do not question the official information sources, citizen.
Confirmation bias is too good to pass up and they love to indulge. Typically they just move on to the next bullshit fake outrage without consequences but this time was an exception. Regardless of where a story comes from, it it’s too on the nose be careful.
The two leftist on my Facebook feed (whom I finally decided to silence because of the 5 posts a day ad nausea) spent basically a week on the horse medicine memes that turned out to be nonsense.
note: they were never “fact checked” by Facebook the way all conservative memes are, even if they’re jokes.
To be fair, righties do it too and even libertarians do it. The left just seems a little more shameless when the stories are revealed to be nonsense is all.
The stories served their purpose, they raised awareness and opened up conversations on the topic!
Conservatives and libertarians still generally believe in Truth as a fundamental principle. The Left generally does not. Another reason that they so often present as mentally ill – they don’t have that psychological anchor that observed reality provides.
I once thought that the notion that leftism is a mental illness, or a symptom of mental illness, was over the top.
I no longer think so.
I don’t think that leftism is a mental illness or a symptom of one. That’s way too broad.
It’s more like a comorbidity. Being heavily invested in lefty cant, can make one more vulnerable to developing a mental illness through memetic infection.
Sheesh. I sound like a bit character from Snow Crash…
EvilSheldon: The Meme wars took place in a different series
*makes note to read*
EvilSheldon: While I enjoy the series, the book I linked to is a dark read, with sociopathic characters (for reasons). Entertainingly, one of the things that kicks off the plot is Russian Communist agents in the US releasing a pandemic. The first book in the series (Orbital Resonance) is a much easier read. For fun with IP laws and cultures, the same author did the Thousand Cultures series.
I wonder how many gunshot victims they see in rural Oklahoma.
Pad the stats by admitting deer as patients?
Gun cleaning “accidents”.
I live in the most heavily armed jurisdiction in the US. Chicago had more shootings last weekend that we have had in the last 100 years.
I am gonna guess rural OK is the same.
Of course, but both guns and ivermectin was too good to ignore, and too good to be true.
Leave it up. You are never going to convince her obsessive following that she was wrong about anything. It’s evidence of her journalistic malfeasance. Sure, shift the goals and say she’s purely an opinion writer. The lines are so blurred now, especially after the explicit abandonment of disinterested reportage. They may as well all be her.
MSNBC host Rachel Maddow has yet to delete a tweet promoting a c0ntested story about rural Oklahoma hospitals being overwhelmed with patients taking the veterinary medicine ivermectin to treat Covid-19 – an unproven treatment.
She is, of course, a known liar. What I did not know until recently is that she used to be attractive.
The things people will to to gain, maintain, and exploit an audience…

Eehhh she’s not my cup of tea but each to his own. Even if she looked like [insert my “perfect” woman here], she is an ugly person.
“After almost a year of litigation and numerous depositions, the County has not linked even one COVID-19 case to the church’s indoor gatherings,” Tyler & Bursch said in a press release.
Not really relevant. But there is this thing called “just say no” that Americans need to learn.
Does this explain Fauci selling out about this Kung Flu shit???
Zerohedge has a pretty good deep-dive on the FOIA emails showing what anyone here with two brain cells to rub together already knew: of course Fauci laundered taxpayer money through his buddy Darszak to fund GoF research at Wuhan.
That’s one of the things that’s behind all of the chicanery and lies. They know that if it becomes the common narrative that Sy. Fauci did this, it could be the beginning of a domino effect. A LOT of people would have some explaining to do.
Then there’s how much money Pharma stands to make. I mean, the fact that the last FDA commissioner is now on the Board of Pfizer is TOTALLY OKEYDOKEY AND FINE. The fact that regulators have an ownership stake in the industrry they’re regulating could never cause any kind of conflict of interest!
Didn’t know that about the former FDA commish. That shit’s fucked, yo.

What’s your problem plebe? The forms were filled out. The forms were approved. That means it’s ok.
So I don’t know that there’s a whole lot to say.
Oh, there’s a whole lot more to say. The fact that a government agency approved a bad grant doesn’t make it a good grant, and doesn’t absolve the grant-seeker from any responsibility at all.

Leftists Look to Satanists as ‘Last, Best Hope to Save Abortion’ in Texas
Interesting headline.
Abortion on demand without apology.
What happened to “safe, legal and rare”? ///rhetorical
I was under the impression the Texas abortion law was kind of doomed no matter what.
I think you’re right.
https://www.hoover.org/research/did-texas-just-find-new-way-ban-abortion
I listened to that, it was pretty good. Whatever you think about pro-life/pro-choice, the idea that you could potentially earn a cash reward for turning someone in is not good.
NYC says “Hold my thoroughly overpriced hipster IPA.” – https://youtu.be/_nRmU5Lytdc
What happened to “safe, legal and rare” – not politically feasible to put birth control in the drinking water?
The thing from the article I found odd was the satanists talked about pills, does this law even have anything about that stuff?
the fact that the last FDA commissioner is now on the Board of Pfizer is TOTALLY OKEYDOKEY AND FINE.
He knows the ropes. He knows how to streamline the process. What else could you want?

Re Rutgers student finding out immunization requirements aren’t waived for online students.
No shit Sherlock. It was that way precovid. Some at least limited it to those who were fully admitted but there were/are some who required it even if taking a single class as a non degree seeking student (looking at you LA schools).
I assume companies are going to do this for remote work, too. Well, the dumber ones.
Thankfully, my company has stayed silent on vaccine mandates/testing so far. I hope this continues.
Now, they still push the vaccine through HR/”Health” e-mails, but those can be ignored like all the other ones sent from them.

After denouncing protesters as “anti-vaxxer mobs,” Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was pelted with gravel at an election campaign stop on Monday night.
Journalists traveling with the Liberal Party leader posted videos of the incident in London, Ontario, as Trudeau was boarding his campaign bus after the event. Several videos show Trudeau surrounded by campaign aides and security as protesters continue shouting at him.
The video shows what Trudeau later described as “little bits of gravel” hitting him and others as he boards the bus.
The incident underscores a national election campaign that has been growing increasingly heated. Last month, Trudeau’s campaign canceled a public event for security reasons. Many protesters trailing Trudeau say they are angry with public health measures such as vaccine mandates.
Drag that loathsome little dweeb through the streets by his feet.
“Yes, there is a small fringe element in this country that is angry, that doesn’t believe in science, that is lashing out with racist, misogynistic attacks,” said Trudeau while campaigning in Ontario hours before the gravel-throwing incident.
Not exactly “Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do.”
What a smug little twat he is.
Ummm, sweaty? You’re a white male you’re incapable of experiencing either racism or sexism. Attacks against you cannot be racist or sexist by definition. Educate yourself.
No, silly, he’s being an ally to all the BIPOC Canadian Prime Ministers out there busily believing in science.
I dunno. Does having a Cuban father qualify him as a POC?
Well I’ve decided to separate from the military. Probably move to Texas. Always wanted to live there. This sucks. Ever since I was little I dreamed of a long military career, but it’s become a cesspit of hypochondriacs and lunatic leftists. The grass may not be greener elsewhere, but at least I’ll be able to live where I want and nearer to my family when shit really starts to go hot.
Thanks for you service and I feel bad it didn’t work out as you’d planned. Best wishes for your freedom-filled future!
Good for you. The military was one of the last institutions to fall to the left’s long march, but it’s gone now.
Yes, it is. I know a lot of people don’t see that, but they’ll find out soon enough I suspect.
Sorry to hear that. Do you at least get a pension? What are the job prospects? I would not go to Texas if I were you, it is too hot and they recently banned abortion haventyaheard
Job prospects should be good as long as I don’t burn any bridges on my way out. No pension, but I saved into my Thrift Savings Plan so it’s not a total loss.
The more Texas gets hammered the more I want to move there. I’ll admit it’s a pretty emotionally-driven decision to go there, but the job market still seems good there and I’ve got a likeminded friend there who’s family has already invited us to try it out.
Truth.

Egad, the unmitigated gall
Longtime operators in the education world say they’ve never seen anything like it.
“Normally, our kids have been off-limits,” said Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, one of the country’s largest unions. “We had tension over Common Core. There was tension over other issues. But in modern history, since the huge desegregation battles, kids have been off-limits. Now, they are the battlefield.”
So what you’re saying is it’s not fair for parents to question you.
Fuck the hell off, you evil ghouls.
That is pretty much what they’re saying.
Right in the quote “our kids”. They belong to the teachers unions.
LOL
Take your meds, NBC.
Kevin can go fuck himself.
DNC!
I would love to see them try. Like I said yesterday, let’s get this over with. Everyone running for office should absolutely be fully honest about what crimes they want to commit against the American people.
Jeff Timmer, former chair of the Michigan GOP, who has soured on the party and backed President Joe Biden, said it’s at the school level where he is increasingly concerned about radicalization.
“If these people get into positions of school boards, they will start to set curriculum. And that will have a long-term effect,” Timmer said, adding that the push for activists to run for school board seats is “as or more alarming than anything I’ve seen so far.”
How do people not just burst into flame when they say stuff like this?
Is it possible to be any less self-aware?
CommaLa cackles…
Oh no, we wouldn’t want activists running school boards! ?

Stunning revelation
Over the past several months, a series of studies has found that some people mount an extraordinarily powerful immune response against SARS-CoV-2. Their bodies produce very high levels of antibodies, but they also make antibodies with great flexibility — likely capable of fighting off the variants of coronavirus circulating in the world but also likely effective against variants that may emerge in the future.
Natural resistance? That’s crazy!
So what you’re saying is, by vaccinating people we are actually preventing them from developing immunity to variants?
And the solution is to vaccinate harder?
The solution is to turn your immune system into a subscription service via booster shots.
Using that one, Drake. Excellent.
I’m curious if the efficacy of naturally developed immunity is negatively impacted by the vaccine. I haven’t seen any literature on that. Say someone who had Covid and then was forced by work or school to get vaxxed.
My wife had covid and that got the shots starting about 3 weeks later.
Doctor said her immune response would better that either buy themselves. Don’t know what the long term result will be.
Doctor said her immune response would better that either buy themselves.
Based on what?
Science?
Based on Doctor says whatever Doctor says.
He’s been our doc for 20 years. He’s a sharp dude. But covid is making everyone stupid. So, I don’t put that much stock into his comment.
According to the Israeli study, it’s not negatively impacted, and a single vaccine shot after having COVID may actually provide a benefit.
On another subject, Trudeau getting pelted with rocks and garbage every time he goes out in public is one of my new favorite things.

My organization does not understand the job market. They have been trying to hire a graphic designer for months, and a candidate just fell through. Someone in our team meeting asked if it would be a remote job, and our boss hemmed & hawed and basically said “if we get a good candidate, we can talk about it”
Yeah, you ain’t getting a good candidate unless and until you hammer that shit out.
It’s employees’ choice out here, and companies best be ready to bend over and take it.
if we get a good candidate, we can talk about it
Shouldn’t you be planning on getting good candidates? I mean, you’re not going to hire a bad candidate, and presumably you’re not going to eliminate the position, so it will be filled with a good candidate, right?
I think they’re talking about the resume pool, not the person they eventually hire. If someone’s resume looks outstanding and they want to interview them, they’ll “talk about” remote work.
They don’t understand that they need to work that out now in order to get good resumes.
This. I’m assuming that remote work is negotiable as I apply to positions that aren’t marked remote. If it turns out remote isn’t negotiable, I move to the next one. Even my requirements which are niche of niche, are met by a handful of open reqs at all times. That’s not usually the case.
If for some reason I have to look for work, I won’t even consider anything that is not remote from the start.
“if we get a good candidate, we can talk about it”
=
“I’ll play act like it’s a possibility, but over my dead body”
Why on Earth would a graphic design position NOT be remote? Does your shop still employ printer’s devils to fetch and mix the ink?
Who the hell knows? Nobody is in the office right now anyway. They’re talking about making the GD position “officially” remote, as in the contract spells out that it’s a remote job, not onsite.
I had to modify my contract to be “officially” remote, because if I didn’t, I would be expected back in the office eventually.
I’ll do it if I can WFH, but every design I send in will be H&H related.
I might know of a good candidate for that if that WFH situation got rectified.
I’ll PM you the job description on the Twatters and you can pass it along. Your candidate can just tell them “I ain’t moving to DC”.
They’re over a barrel – they’re going to have to hire someone outside DC.
Will do, thanks. I have class tomorrow. I will approach it tentatively.
It’s a very collegial team to work on. I think we would have the same boss…he takes care of us and shields us from most of the bullshit.
