Good start
Off to Columbus again today for the Maryland game. If any of you want to go, I have an extra ticket. Seriously. Speaking of football, the Rams beat Seattle last night, but the real losers were anybody who watched the game and had to see those Seahawks uniforms for three hours. Jesus, those were bad. In soccer hews, the US beat Jamaica while Mexico and Canada drew, which takes us to the top of the CONCACAF WC qualifying table for the time being. Across the pond, France came back from two down to beat Belgium and will face Spain in the Europe Nations League final. And in baseball, the Astros thumped the White Sox, as did the Rays to the Red Sox to kick off both ALDS’s. And today, we get all four series playing. Buckle up for a full day of baseball, friends. And that’s sports.
Oh, there are the birthdays.
Big birthdays today are musician Dick Burnett, pitcher Johnny Lush, the “Ace of Aces” Eddie Rickenbacker, Argentine strongman Juan Peron, Albanian King Zog I, writer Frank Herbert, actor Paul Hogan, comic book writer Harvey Pekar, race-baiting grifter and anti-Semite Jesse Jackson, comedian Chevy Chase, children’s author R.L. Stine, pitcher Paul Splittorff, midget pol Dennis Kucinich, rocker Johnny Ramone, actress Sigourney Weaver, race car driver Bill Elliott, infielder David Doster, actor Matt Damon, and actress Bella Thorne.
Right, now on to…the links!
Made in Texas!
Tesla is officially moving to Texas. I’m sure California will act like this is no big deal. But it’s kind of a big deal.
We’re getting closer to book burning. Literally everybody arguing for these bans is an idiot. And they’re from both far ends of the left-right political spectrum, unsurprisingly.
And we thought we had bad asset forfeiture laws. Jesus, this is insane.
The can is kicked down the road. For a whopping two months. Idiots.
Crack doesn’t kill. It pays!
Seems legit. But no mean tweets, amirite?
This is throwing the hierarchy of grievances all out of whack. None of the jokesters know who to attack. Except for gun owners, of course.
Good for this guy. He understands rights better than most people. And anybody saying he should still get the vaccine after getting natural immunity knows little to nothing about viruses.
The beatings will continue. But I doubt morale will improve.
This made me laugh. It’s also why I love twitter, even though it’s a retarded cesspool.
A little more rock than usual today. Because it’s an absolutely awesome song. Enjoy it.
And get out there and enjoy the weekend, friends. And I was serious about that extra ticket, if any of you want to come watch a football game. Or if you want to drink some beers tonight in Columbus. Email me at kenspicer111 at the gmails.
whaddup doh
Hello Tres! I hope you’re doing well! The Tesla thing is a big deal. But more importantly I met a girl who wants to go ride rollercoasters with me this weekend. Yay!
Euphemism?
Maybe he’s taking her to Hershey Park?
*giggles*
Double the double-entendre! Well played.
She looks like she would be fun until you told her it was over…
She’s on a boat. She can’t complain. You know, because of the implication.
Waterboearding?
I don’t follow at all. That seems kinda dark…
No, she’s safe. But she doesn’t know that…because of the implication.
Always Sunny reference. And yes, it is dark.
One of the more darkly humorous bits on Sunny.
You’re not at any risk.
…so these women are at risk?
I only ever go there because of links around here. It then reminds me of why I don’t go there.
“And we thought we had bad asset forfeiture laws. Jesus, this is insane.”
In a just world the police chief and the judge dealing with the case would end up killing each other with kitchen utensils trying to make sure the other doesn’t get the car…
“Looks like the judge’s colander is full, and the chief got whisked off the force.”
I’m hoping they are both armed with zesters. Those things are no joke.
Microplane nunchucks.
MATT DAMON!!
“Seems legit. But no mean tweets, amirite?”
So we know what the “tit” is in this exchange, but what’s the “tat”? Cause you know the people that bought these are doing it for a reason…
You’ll know when you see the new tax laws that are coming. Expect some unique deductions to be thrown in the mix.
You can deduct 1-5x the amount you paid for Hunter’s crayola work, each year for the next 10 years? But only if you make over $400K/year…
Wonder if the Tesla logo will get recast with long horns.
Tesla Driver Ticketed After Parking ‘Foreign Car in Domestic Lot’ at GM Factory
Oh, you meant union…
That security officer needs to learn how to spell.
If they could spell they wouldn’t be doing security at a GM plant.
The funny thing is in part because of the unionization my bet is the security there is outsourced.
So, my Focus was made in Mexico. Does that mean I should have parked that car in their foreign lot?
As for the C-Max, I don’t want to admit it came from Detroit (The lack of quality control really shows compared to the mexican focus) Can I opt to park in the foreign lot?
All my cars were built in Germany. As God intended.
You drive a football helmet.
That’s a bizarre misspelling of Japan.
When Jesus returns, he will go to Baden-Württemberg to pick up whatever he’s driving to spread the gospel. Because reliability and performance are equally important to our Lord and savior.
My kid is certified to fix German cars, and he tells me they are all over rated crap…. Having to spend another $15K just for the non standard metric tool set (in addition to owning a metric set for Japanese/Korean cars and the standard set for US cars) also sucks ballz.
And in celebration its dashboard will be lit up like a Christmas tree.
And in celebration its dashboard will be lit up like a Christmas tree.
He’s not going to the VW plant. He’ll be fine.
$15k sounds a bit pricey for torx bits and allen wrenches.
Ya think? My kid then had to spend another $8K to get a secure toolbox to store the tools in (and buy insurance) cause the freaking tools he had were worth over $30K. What a racket…
DrOtto – those weekly Snap-On add up!
Seriously – inverted torx?
Yeah, the German cars like the exotic bolts heads. Torx, inverted Torx, Allen, Triple square. VW/Audi head bolts use something, I believe it’s a proprietary bolt pattern, that is like a splined triple square. I forgot what I paid for the tool, but it’s locked away safely in my garage to never be loned out to anyone.
My /sarc meter just pegged and stuck.
JIS versus Phillips. WTF Japan?
They took a crappy drive that’s designed to cam out and strip, and made it workable?
Hatchback? My shitty focus sedan was made in Michigan. It says it all over the stickers and windows. I kind of love talking about how much I hate that car it has started to endear itself to me. Only 17k miles so I guess I’m stuck with it for a while unless I want to be financially unwise.
The Focus was a sedan. the C-Max I guess could be called a htachback.
There are actual government approved ways to calculate this stuff for CAFE and other reporting requirements.
It’s ridiculous. Many of the subassemblies are made all over the world. So for the labor content a not insignificant portion of the car is made outside the US.
At one point if I remember right Honda actually had the most “US made” car of any manufacturer.
I think it was Nissan. They had the highest content of USA parts and labor.
Commuting through Austin, I frequently opt for MoPac freeway, which has a rail line running through the center of it, vs I 35. You will frequently see flatbed cars on the rail line loaded with truck chassis coming up from Mexico. They are either marked with GM-T for GM truck or have the dreaded Chrysler pentagram if they are Dodge chassis.
“Hunter Biden sells five art prints for $75K each as NYC show pushed back ”

Now about that legislation the APCIA has been working on.

When you need severe chaos to justify peddling government as the only solution, this weakness is a feature (soon to be exploited at the most convenient time to help fortify the 2022 election). Not a bug.
I’ve been screaming for some time that the CARB’s Tier 4 Final requirements for all trucks entering the ports has a lot to do with this. As does their on-road in-use regs. He needed to mention that.
I remember chatting with that guy on the gun forums back in the day. Smart man.
Why would you sale with empty containers? That just proves the trade isn’t healthy. There should be something being sold in the other direction
*Reaches for tinfoil*
Does this end with the Chinese controlling our ports?
Unsurprisingly, Texas got outwoked by Ontario.
Once counties are able to meet the vaccination requirement — either by way of crossing the 80% threshold or reaching eight weeks post FDA approval — there’s a decent chance they will no longer be able to satisfy the case criteria.
Epidemiologists expect an increase in transmission in the winter as individuals return indoors due to colder weather. COVID-19 is widely expected to become endemic and seasonal, like the flu.
“We’ll take the boot off your neck only when these completely unfulfillable requirements have been met.”
You mean after they have had the opportunity to shift the goalposts a few times in order to fortify the 2022 election first, right?
It’s spreading like wildfire, better let everyone mail in their ballots.
^^^THIS^^^
After we claim to have mailed a whole lot of them and got them all back the day before we mailed them out…. with 9999 to 1 votes going for team blue too, BTW…
Frankly, if the Republicans are so damn stupid as to just let this happen again they deserve every freaking thing they get. Unfortunately we’ll all be going along for the ride too.
But if we oppose this highway robbery they will call us mean names and we wont get invited to the cool kid’s parties!
Except of course they didn’t. There was no blue wave – much to the disappointment of the Democrats around the country not named Joe Biden.

Oh Andrew Heston, you funny guy.
I like his book of poems “Los Angeles is Hideous”
“The guidelines are based in part on a new Texas law that prohibits schools from teaching lessons that might make students feel “discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress” because of their race.”
We’ve become a nation of fragile, whiny bitches and it’s manifesting in Texas no less. Maybe our RussoSino overlords can straighten out our priorities once they take us over in a couple of decades.
That retarded law is a two-edged sword. It will be used by the far right to remove anything blaming whitey for past shit and by the woke mob to remove anything that talks about slavery or treating Indians bad. It’s a giant piece of shit that needs to go bye-bye.
Absolutely and, race aside, discomfort, guilt, anguish, and psychological distress is part of life and is essential to the learning process and to good literature. Negative experiences are an essential part of being a human being and that shit can’t be legislated away.
You’re talking about public schools, yes?
Without public schools how will kindergartners learn about the complexities of life?
Like all 57 genders, the wonders of communism, and the evils of honkeys?
thankfully, tOSU plays at noon saturday, so I can see the game before I go to bed.
For once I’ll be driving the girlfriend to a drinking event instead of the other way around. Several of the Tremont bars are doing a hard cider and doughnut fest/crawl on Saturday.
Game of the week will be tPSU vs. Iowa. Ranked #4 and #3 in the nation, one of these teams is going to be seriously exposed as a fraud.

Monstrous
Trump has a long history of siding with powerful men accused of hurting women, from his Supreme Court pick Brett Kavanaugh to former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly. He defended a former White House aide who resigned after allegations that he was physically and emotionally abusive to two ex-wives became public. And in 2017, he backed GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore despite allegations that Moore had sexually assaulted teen girls decades ago when he was in his 30s.
Trump himself has been accused of sexual misconduct by more than two dozen women but he, like the other men he has defended, has always vigorously denied the allegations.
Repeat repeat repeat.
“Only a guilty person would vigorously deny allegations against them. It is known.”
Is this true? ISTR there were two incidents, neither of which was vaguely sexual assault, and one which was pretty demonstrably fake.
IIRC, one of the incidents was Moore asking parents permission to date their teenage daughter (16-18, don’t remember exactly now).
That’s what I remember, and the other one was a yearbook inscription.
“Only a guilty person would vigorously deny allegations against them. It is known.”
Your sins cannot be forgiven if you do not repent and abase yourself before the priesthood.
I feel like we need an inquisition.
Sentence first–verdict afterward!
I like the explanation the Grand Inquisitor gave Jesus for why he had to fuck off and never come back to mess with the purpose of the church in Dostoyevsky’s Brothers Karamazov.
“I feel like we need an inquisition.”
I was expecting something else.

Trump last month threw his support behind football great Herschel Walker, a longtime friend, for an open Senate seat in Georgia, a race the former president had urged Walker to enter. That endorsement came more than a month after an Associated Press review of hundreds of pages of public records tied to Walker’s business ventures and his divorce uncovered accusations that Walker repeatedly threatened to kill his ex-wife and her new boyfriend and exaggerated his business success, among other things.
Walker’s campaign has generally avoided responding to specifics, but has cited the ex-NFL star’s mental health issues, which he has discussed in detail, including in a book.
OMG, crazy person in the Senate?
UNPRECEDENTED!
Testimony in divorces is the truest of true, If it weren’t the courts would punish the lawyers that summitted it.
Unsealing divorce records is what gave us Obama, why not try it again?
Thanks a lot, Seven Of Nine.
She wasn’t the one that wanted them unsealed – that was the Chicago Dem machine working for young Mr. Obama.
Jesus. Herschel is a nice guy, and divorces are messy. Also my assumption is AP send endless hours reviewing documents because they couldn’t find SHIT on the man anywhere else? Because he’s a pleasant person?
Herschel isn’t one of LBJ’s n*****s.
“The teenage gunman who opened fire in an Arlington, Texas, school on Wednesday celebrated at home after being released on a $75,000 bond while his victims, a 15-year-old boy and a 25-year-old teacher, remained in the hospital, one of them clinging to life.
Timothy George Simpkins was being held on a $75,000 bond on three charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon but the 18-year-old walked out of Tarrant County Jail on Thursday afternoon. A bondsman met the bail terms on Thursday, posting at least some of the full amount, and he walked free.
On Wednesday, he pulled a gun from his backpack and shot a 15-year-old boy ‘seven or eight times’, shot teacher Calvin Pettitt in the back and grazed a teenage girl before going on the run from Timberview High School. He was angry about a fight that had just happened where the 15-year-old boy repeatedly punched him.
Simpkins said nothing as he strode out of the jail on Thursday in a blue t-shirt, matching baseball cap worn backwards, and jeans. It’s unclear why he has been charged with aggravated assault and not attempted murder or more serious charges, or why the judge granted him bail.”
It can’t be just because he’s black. He shot three people in a school.
An earlier report said that he used a .45. I guess they don’t all fall to hard ball. Also with the round count, it wasn’t a 1911.
SLD: TMITE.
Speaking of the public’s opinion of the media.
Before the tragic boating accident my Model 21 fed at least 500 rounds of hydra-shok without so much as a hiccup.
.45’s can fire ashtrays.
Anyway, I’m still wondering why such light treatment?
How do you shoot someone and not get attempted murder? I thought in all cases a firearm is considered a deadly weapon? I didn’t know it was possible to get aggravated assault.
Uh, when you are 18 years old and your getaway car is a 2019 Charger and you have a lawyer on speed-dial.
When the law no longer gets applied equally, the law is no longer the law…

Headline: Minnesota hospital beds in short supply
As COVID-19 case surge continues, urban and rural hospitals are filling up.
Story:
So headline and story don’t jibe and the journalos are left to ponder why no one trusts them anymore.
So all of the sick people let their symptoms lapse for the last two years and now comes the reckoning? Clown fucking world but it isn’t funny.
The fact that the fucking serfs refuse to keep believing the lies is precisely why the old media machine needs censorship to keep “misinformation” from making the serfs know they are being lied to and not complying with whatever agenda they are pushing….
That’s the Taibbi article I linked, except the media aren’t doing it to win over the serfs, they do it to re-assure the faithful.
Who the fuck cares what the serfs want or feel? They have to comply and like it.
/fuckers
Yep. We are the minority party here. It’s easy to forget when you peruse these boards that 80% of the populace think that we’re nucking futs. Welcome to Liber-land!
My Minnesoda girl is stressing because all those things she told me were conspiracy theories believed by crazy people seem to be turning out to be true eventually. I still have not been able to have her made the connection between being fucking lied to and told to believe stupid shit by dnc operatives and her political beliefs. Cognitive dissonance is a real problem for team blue people that constantly have reality kick them in the teeth.
For the ascended ones cognitive dissonance causes no pain and hypocrisy is a virtue.

Oi! Don’t forget the pierogi! It’s national pierogi day after all.
How can it be national pierogi day? It aint a national dish.
Cincy chili is its own thing. Its a greek dish which translated (poorly, to be fair) to chili.
But yes, Skyline > GoldStar.
And the key to Cincy chili is the cheese coney. Its the only proper form.
Yes, I know the history. But I still need to slag on it. There are some things that are tradition.
Stag Chili on Kraft Dinner mixed with Velveeta cheese is the comfort food of the gods.
You do know that your “KD” is just what we call “Blue Box”, right? And to be properly prepared (for when I ate such things), use half-half or cream instead of milk, and butter instead of margarine. Add hot dogs or tuna to make it a proper entrée.
…I want to argue against this, but I’m having difficulty.
Not wrong here.
Why not just get the Velveeta shells and cheese and cut Kraft out?
Or the rotini and cheese with the little broccoli specks?
Because that requires forethought and what Festus presented is “I am hungover, what do I have in the pantry”
Back in my bachelor days, I was much more likely to have a box of shells and cheese than to have BOTH a box of kraft macaroni AND velveeta cheese.

Baseball birthdays, as sloopy’s and my list have zero players in common:
Donie Bush, Wally Moses, Mike Morgan, Paul Splittorff, Doc Crandall. Okay, we had one in common, my bad.
Morgan goes to show you what being slightly below average for a really long time can do for you. 22 seasons, ended with a record of 141-186. Played for 12 teams (13 if you count the Cubbies twice) across 22 seasons across 25 years. By far his best season was with the 1992 Cubs, 16-8 with a 2.55 ERA. He was overshadowed by the other Cubs pitcher with a last name beginning with M.
We’re similarly becoming a nation of totalitarian nitwits, speaking in a borrowed lexicon of mandatory phrases and smelling heresy in anyone who doesn’t. This cult reflex was bad during the Russiagate years, but it’s gone into overdrive since the arrival of COVID. The CNN writer who thinks it’s necessary to put a disclaimer in the lede of a story about molnupiravir, of all things, is basically claiming he or she is afraid a theoretical unvaccinated person might otherwise read the story and be encouraged to not take the vaccine.
Taibbi had better watch his back.
Meh, everyone on substack is an alt-right racist and therefore can be safely ignored.

The rubric for determining which books should be removed from Carroll classroom libraries asks teachers to grade books based on whether they provide multiple perspectives and to discard those that present singular, dominant narratives “in such a way that it … may be considered offensive,” according to a copy of the training document obtained by NBC News.
Howard Zinn has a sad.
The guidelines are based in part on a new Texas law that prohibits schools from teaching lessons that might make students feel “discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress” because of their race.
They prohibited CRT?
News flash: the instinct to armor-plate even unrelated news subjects with layer after layer of insistent vaccine dogma is not for the non-immunized, who mostly don’t watch outlets like CNN or read the New York Times. Outlets apply that neurotic messaging for their own target audiences, who’ve been trained to live in terror of un-contextualized content, which everyone knows leads to Trump, fascism, and death.

Rape, pillage, burn- eat babies! Get it right!

ALWAYS the right choice.
Ackchually butter will burn first so your point is technically wrong!
Ghee is the right choice.
Or a bit of oil in with the butter.

A few years ago I was kicking around a trip to Denmark. From Denmark, take a ferry to the Faroe Islands. Then from the Faroe Islands, take a ferry to Iceland. After some time in Iceland, back to the US.
That does sound agreeable to me. I don’t think I’d bother with mainland Denmark, but perhaps just take in the Faroes before heading onto Iceland, where I would take many lava/volcano photos for a Glibs travel report (I’m thinking of you, KK).

What’s funny is this diatribe about accountability is that the author misses the point that no one is accountable for anything anymore, and it is his socio-political outlook that is responsible for that.
“Accountability is critical for multiple reasons.”
Yes yes, tell me about accountability Mr. CNN Guy.
“Accountability” is what those who have power, or who are useful to those who have power (for now), use against those who don’t.
Accountability means getting up in public and saying, “I take full responsibility,” then going back to your high-powered, high-paid job. Words over actions. It’s still somewhat shocking to recall that no one got fired over 9/11, for example.
My grandparents had a magnet on their fridge: “the buck stops here”. As far as I can tell, the meaning of that saying is, “I will make sure nobody is ever held accountable, least of all myself”.
Looks like the saying, and the magnet design, come from Truman.
He wouldn’t be an acceptable Democrat these days.
“I’m excited to announce that we’re moving our headquarters to Austin, Texas,” CEO Elon Musk said Thursday during a Tesla shareholders meeting
Austin? So not different from California in some ways. Yeah, Texas has a better state business climate, but Austin?
Five Carroll teachers spoke to a reporter about the new book rules on the condition of anonymity, worried that they would be punished for discussing their concerns publicly.
Boo-hoo.
Under a new Danish law, police can seize the vehicles of reckless drivers and auction them off, with the money going into Danish coffers.
Ouch.
An Indiana state senator who spent 10 days in a hospital’s intensive care unit with COVID-19 says he stands behind his decision to not get vaccinated against the illness.
Good.
As currently written, it may be tough for counties to meet all three criteria before the end of 2021. Of the eight counties that adopted this criteria — San Francisco, Alameda, Santa Clara, San Mateo, Contra Costa, Marin, Sonoma and Napa — exactly zero are currently in the moderate tier despite weeks of sustained case rate decreases.
Go fuck yourselves. Drop the fucking face diaper requirement.
Austin?
Arguably the best night-life, and to Elon, I think that matters.
True. Good point.
Simpkins has been charged with three counts of aggravated assault and on Thursday was released on $75,000 bond, partying with his friends and family at home following his release. His family said he was bullied and robbed at school; singled out for his expensive clothes and car.
“Aggravated assault”, “attempted murder”. “Tomayto”, Tomahto”.
Look if the kid came in and busted a couple of noses then yes..
I read about that, and concluded that I wasn’t going to be sympathetic to anyone in the story.

Now I want to take the rest of the day off and go home to the pup.
The reason why my wife could never be one of those Animal Cops, like the TV show. She’d be too busy killing people instead of dogs.
You will let us indoctrinate your fucking rug rats with whatever horribly evil marxist bullshit we want to, or you will be made to pay!!!!
I would like to say it matters and that it should get all political sides to turn and view the president and his team as the issue, but it won’t.
Trump’s greatest achievement might just be sparing us from Supreme Court Justice Merrick Garland. I wonder how his current behavior jibes with what he was selling as a nominee.
Wasn’t that pre-Trump though, the sparing?
If I remember correctly it was his election that finally got the nomination withdrawn. If Hillary had won he’d be in there now I would think.
I defer to your superior memory.
I can’t get over how ugly most of these baddoes are. Not just domestically; look up Chris Whitty.
You mean to say the administration instructed an outside group to provide justification for their overreach?
I’m shocked, shocked I say!
That said, Putin has it correct, these NGOs that revolve around the US government and take their funding from the US government are poison. They’re nothing more than grifting propaganda outlets for the permanent state.
Just checking in briefly and then it’s back to trying to improve my life. I imagine I’ll be leaving this new job fairly soon – probably handing in my notice this week. If it’s not the haphazard management or getting stitched up doing awful makework crap, it’s the group of moronic, surly, creepy, and sociopathic group of coworkers I get stuck in close quarters with. You wouldn’t believe it, and I don’t want to dwell on it. I just want to get away from this awful company.
Sorry to read recently about your missed opportunity.
I once mixed up the day of an aptitude test, which was not like me at all.
Oh no it’s okay. I had some full time temp work while I was looking for a new job that was miserable but predictable and could have stayed at for as long as I was looking. Still some creeps there because it’s a drain that catches whatever spirals into it, but it was better hours and I was led to believe I could go back to that if I wanted to. This current job paid a bit more and I thought it wouldn’t be so bad so I figured I’d give it a go. Here I am. I just need something humdrum that gives me time to get in some retraining and development toward something not so soul-crushing. I think I’m definitely leaving because this one just doesn’t leave me the energy I need, or give me predictable enough patterns of shifts to make the most of the rest of the day like I need to.
What sort of aptitude test? For a potential employer? I guess many of them are done online now, unless it has to be in a controlled environment?
This was a couple of decades ago. Sub-editing. They let me take it the next day and I thought I did well and heard I did well; shrug.
Nice.
On a scale of 1 to Jimmy Saville how creepy are they?
Savile+ in at least one case
So you work with the IT crowd? Poor bugger.
Ha! That would actually be kind of amusing. Roy is a creep but he’s not a sociopath. I think most workplaces would benefit from a Moss in some capacity. I’m not sure I’d have the patience for Jen as a manager long term but she would be a short term improvement.
I temped for Oracle for three days and had never seen so many grey surly people at once, and hope never to again.
Most helldesk workers are more Jen then Roy or Mossy.
Mmmmm, Jen.
You are correct – Roy and Moss work with me in Engineering.
I remember some saint-like patience from IT techs I had to call on in a former life. They were forever dealing with deplorables like me trying to circumvent the ticket system by casually engaging them at the coffee machine, or you know, walking over to their part of the office. It’s a wonder they didn’t literally erect some sort of fortifications.
It depends on how much we like you.
There are people who get the “Please open a ticket so we can look into that” response.
People we like might get “sure, here’s how we fix that”.
Can confirm.
Also the complexity of the request (and auditing requirements) play a factor. If you’re the person asking for a favor, ignoring requests for more information, then bitching about something not getting done… you’ll be opening a lot of tickets, with everything being completely documented and on the book.
The beatings will continue. But I doubt morale will improve.
It all will continue until it is ignored en masse.
I’m chuffing off for now. Bad tidings afoot, what what!
No, wait! Hang on a sec.

Sorry about the bad bidings.
OK you boozebags, I need a suggestion:
What’s a good tequila, suitable for a birthday present?
Under, say, $150.
Buy bottle of Jose Cuervo, empty it, stuff bottle with $130 and gift it.
My friends get Dos Dedos, shows you how much I like them.
Really, I only have myself to blame for these answers.
“Know your audience”.
On the plus side, I’m sure you’re all a trove of information regarding pruno
(waiting for someone like Neph to chime in and restore my faith in you lot)
Sorry man, tequila rests in the clear liquor group, which means I’m usually mixing it with something. It’s not my preference for sipping straight (which would be the appropriate treatment at the price points you’re looking at).
https://frinkiac.com/caption/S08E16/384633
I did similar last year but my budget was about half that (I don’t know tequila).
It doesn’t have to be that much, just setting a ceiling. Cool dude, 60th birthday, happy to get him something nice.
Almost any Anejo tequila is good enough to sip. I have a great fondness for Herradura and Chinaco.
Don Julio would get my vote for a widely available and def top shelf tequila. Anejo or Reposado, your call.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tequila#Types Depends which type they prefer.
Costco always has good stuff. Five-figure scotch!
My brother likes Maestro Dobel Diamante tequila
I have Papadiablo mezcal on my list after reading a review somewhere.
There are three agave-based clear liquors (the Holy Trinity): tequila, mezcal and bacanora.
If you can find this stuff then you’ve got an agave-based clear liquor that’s worthy of being sipped. Sadly, it’s difficult to locate unless you’re in a state adjacent to northern Mexico (which is where bacanora originates). I’ve only had it a couple of times, and it caused me to swear off all other agave liquors for life. I even have a buddy who was a teetotaler for life until he tasted bacanora, and now he tries to scrounge up a bottle wherever and whenever he can.
A popular brand is Cielo Rojo, though it’s nowhere near the best, but probably one of the easiest to find.
Gutfeld gives scathing review of New York Times’ American flag makeover
WTF was that Colbert skit? JHTFC these people are weird.
I laughed at the Microsoft flag,
What’s funny is this diatribe about accountability is that the author misses the point that no one is accountable for anything anymore, and it is his socio-political outlook that is responsible for that.
Collinson is as crazy as a shithouse rat.
And a quick dyslexic skim might produce a reading of his name as Collision.
That would describe him and his relationship with reality.
We tried playing nice with you
prolspeople but enough is enough.‘The U.S. should be more like Canada’
“You can stay Unvaccinated if you want, but you can’t travel to see your family” …
The Biden admin’s announcement that they will quadruple at-home rapid testing by December is very welcome. We need a moonshot for testing, as we did with vaccines. There should be enough #covid19 tests for every American to get tested twice a week. And testing should be free.
“Feel free to make your own choice but you won’t be allowed to function in society. See? We are not going to force you.”
That woman is a menace and is more dangerous than any parent at a school board meeting.
She’s comically overtly evil. I don’t know how we got this far but holy shit Ayn Rand villains are real.
Me, younger: “I can’t finish this, it’s too unrealistic.”
Us, today: “Goddamn, she was right.”
She is one of the more hateful figures to crawl out of the woodwork, isn’t she?
And CNNMSNBC absolutely love her. They get to hide behind her “Doctor” title and nod their heads and then say “well there you have it…she’s a doctor!”
Come stop me, bitch.
Stop hiding behind the police state and come force me personally to behave as you want.
You mean like the no cost tests that are available at my local libraries?
/plans to abuse the hell out of that if my company requires weekly testing
Barring me from the supermarket like LA claims to be doing is my line in the sand.
I will not comply. I will not be showing papers so I can feed myself.
Luckily they have deemed supermarkets as a covid free zone with signs of the virus inside a circle and a line across it.
May want to wear a mask in that case. You know, to protect yourself and others from the ‘vid… not to make it harder to identify you or anything.
Anyone with gums like that should stay away from visual media.
From Berenson’s latest post:
There should be enough #covid19 tests for every American to get tested twice a week. And testing should be free.
Right. And that will tell us what, exactly?
That we’re willing to fall in line?
SHUT UP!
AND COMPLY!
Uffda. I got an email today from the NoDak Fish & Game guys saying:
They provided a link for more information.
WTF? This seems like a monumentally stupid idea. What are the people who don’t have a smart phone supposed to do?
Same thing when they have to present their digital vaccine passport…suffer.
Unless it’s private property bordering public land without clear demarcation of boundaries, I have a little sympathy for hunters who “accidently” wander onto private property.
My posted signs have been ripped off and riddled with bullet holes.
I bought the onX smartphone app the second year I got lost trying to find my ground blind on opening morning.
*The woods look very different at 5am than they do in the afternoon*
They are coming for your kids.
UPDATE: We and @BioNTech_Group officially submitted our request to @US_FDA for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) of our #COVID19 vaccine in children 5 to <12.
How people don’t see Pharma’s move here goes beyond me.
But of course they are and it’ll be approved and then it’ll be mandated. If your kid doesn’t get it they’ll be kicked out along with legislation that requires it of private schools also. Kids don’t need it and except for fairly exceptional circumstances the shot is more dangerous to them than covid but they don’t give a fuck. The drug compaines’ desire for dollars has melded with politicians’ and busybodies’ desire to jam shit down your throat whether you want it or not.
If your kid doesn’t get it they’ll be kicked out
Well that would probably be the best case scenario we could hope for. Unfortunately, compulsory education laws make the likely endgame far worse. Most homeschoolers are already required to have the same vaccines as public schoolers, and the parents are required to submit the records to the school board. Not all homeschoolers but I’d say most.
A mandate for kids would end either with parents being arrested and held in jail until their children are vaxed (just like happens now for truancy) or the children will be kidnapped by the police and held down for the vax (just like is happening now in Australia).
I guess Sleepy Joe is creating unity on some level.
I approve this message!
Those Hunter Biden stories piss me off to no end. There are those of us who have spent a lifetime toiling at our creative endeavors and are unable to make a living from it. Then this guy, with no training and minimal skills, jumps right to the top. After somehow doing the same in business. He’s a scammer, everybody knows it, but it’s ok because Team Blue. Fuck him and his entire corrupt family.
Well yeah. If it’s any consolation, he hasn’t so much succeeded at it as a creative endeavour, but as a thinly veiled money laundering scheme.
That’s not any better. ?
The wrong son died! (Remember Ordinary People?)
I don’t understand any art past Madame X. Maybe Brancusi’s fish. But the patronage model makes more sense than Marcel Duchamp and subsequent.

Insurrection
A Polish court ruling challenging the supremacy of European Union law plunged the EU into an existential crisis on Friday, increasing fears among EU policymakers and many Poles that Poland could eventually leave the bloc.
Politicians across Europe voiced dismay at the ruling by Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal on Thursday that parts of EU law are incompatible with the Polish constitution, undermining the legal pillar on which the 27-nation EU stands.
Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, said she was “deeply concerned” and that the EU executive she leads would do all in its power to ensure the primacy of EU law
They’re trying to undermine the glorious ironfisted global socialist utopia.
They should get together with the Baltics and other former Eastern Bloc nations. They could call it, I don’t know, Poland-Lithuania or something.
900 years worth of stomping Rus into the mud…..
Two weeks to flatten the curve, comrade.
What?
[W]hile I appreciate the Biden administration’s initiatives on sanctioning some particular individuals that particularly were repressive and brutally forceful against some of the protesters, it’s time to create Internet access into Cuba so that the Cuban people can once again be free to express themselves, as we are in the United States and people throughout the world are. And with that opportunity, I think that opportunity brings change.”

Narrative > facts.
Anchor Nicolle Wallace said, “Senator, between your committee’s investigation, what we know the Select Committee investigating the insurrection has subpoenaed and asked for and a growing body of investigative journalism. It’s becoming abundantly clear that the events leading up to the insurrection are all part of a cohesive attempt by Donald Trump with assistance from his man at DOJ with outside lawyers like John Eastman, who crafted the memo, to overturn the results of the election. What is your sense — what is your ability to sort of quantify and describe how close to successful those efforts came?”
Hirono said, “We came very, very close to a constitutional crisis, but I feel as though with President Trump, former President, that we came close to a constitutional crisis many times. This is why he got impeached twice. So, he abused his power at just about every turn to get what he wanted.”
President-ish “Executive Order” Biden could not be reached for comment.
Admittedly, I’m rapidly reaching the point that I wouldn’t care or might even celebrate if the Trumpalos actually seized control of the government in a no-shit insurrection.
America is in civil war 2.0 and el presidente Biden’s banana republic declared war on patriotic Americans.
Its not an insurrection. Its war and self defense to restore our constitutional supremacy over our treasonous government.
