“Supreme Court blocks Biden vaccine mandate for private firms, allows mandate for healthcare workers”
The big woke companies that wanted legal cover are now screwed. If they mandate it (not two guys going on a date) they now run the risk someone will sue them if things go bad because of the clot shot.
Interesting point. I wonder if it will fly.
They lost their government provided protection from the mandate. So now they are worried which event will be worse for them,. Enforce the vaccine requirement anyway and risk the legal shit from that, or not enforce it and risk the legal shit from that. There will be no principled stance, but just a guess at which effort is less costly/risky, and we will all pay for it.
And some companies are still going forward with it anyways.
I hope it all starts winding done now. The OMGcron exposed the vaxes as dangerous fakes. Now that there is no legal cover, any smart company will just drop it rather than get sued for groundless firings or vax side-effects.
My company has been saying they will follow OSHA. So I guess now, that means nothing. My gut feeling from his comments is the CEO wants to mandate it (his wife nearly died from covid), but we are manufacturing and having staffing shortages on the lines already, so he won’t push anything that isn’t required.
Got the same vibe from my bosses. They were willing twist arms – but only if it was at no risk to them.
My employer has actually been reasonable on this. Surprising for a fairly large, New York based company, that projects wokeness wherever it can. They’ve not mandated anything even though we are a retail operation. They’ve been offering vaccines and boosters for free and encouraged everyone to get one, but that’s it. At least until a couple days ago when they started requiring us to put our vaccination status on our work profile (only management and HR can see it). We are allowed to put “decline to answer”. Even still, I’m going to drag my feet on this as much as I can. As a middle manager, they’re going to ask me to tell my employees to put that info up, and I really don’t want to get involved with that.
Figuring out who they would lose/could get rid of, is the first step.
How about “Fuck off”?
mandate it (not two guys going on a date)
Back in college in 1980 one of the guys in our fraternity was found to have a hidden copy of Man Date magazine, apparently gay porn. It led to a lot of of jokes (the world 42 years ago was quite different) but that was all, surprisingly enough. He decided to come out of the closet as a result, and ended up being elected VP of our house not long after. Nice to know that even flyover country rubes back then were pretty tolerant, despite what the Left today insists they still are.
“Eleven Oath Keepers including leader charged with seditious conspiracy in Jan. 6 riot”
People to government/FBI: “Who is Ray Epps and was the FBI inciting what happened?”
Government/FBI: “Look over there!”
I think it was Rebel Scum yesterday that expressed my thoughts:
Congress / Repubs: “Insurrection, huh? Yet no one has been charged with sedition or insurrection in over a year of investigation…”
Left: “QUICK! Charge someone with sedition!”
Pretty much the only thing that makes sense on timing.
“RNC mulls requiring candidates to avoid debates”
Free speech is gonna go up 9.7%
Did you pick that number randomly, or because that is the inflation number for 2022 so far?
Sinema doubles down on filibuster support, dealing likely fatal blow to Dems’ election bills
One person shouldn’t be able to thwart democracy. – Dems
The left has clearly made the point that they want the minority to be able to block the majority when THEY are in the minority, but that when they are in the majority, this favor should NOT be returned. See Schumer when they were in the minority vs. Schumer today when they desperately need a bill to fortify elections so they don’t end up getting buttfucked in the 2022 midterms.
Dems have clearly made the point that they want an autocrat from their party.
Anything else is just window dressing.
“Federal government caused monoclonal antibody shortage, says medical supplies CEO”
The tone in that heading kind of gives you the impression this was incidental/accidental, but the reality is that the Biden people did this on purpose and by design. My belief is that was done because they are all in cahoots with big pharma and the money they are raking in forcing people to take shots into perpetuity and that they need this crisis to continue longer so they have excuses to keep fucking fortifying elections.
It doesn’t make much sense. Monoclonal antibodies were developed as part of Operation Warpspeed along with the vaccines. I can understand big pharma wanting to slander ivermectin and HCQ+zinc because they can’t make money on it, but as of now there is literally no treatment protocol for Covid until you are on deaths door and then they will finish you off with a ventilator.
Rhodes put out a call on the group’s website in the days before the attack for “all patriots who can be in DC” to travel to Washington for a “security mission” to “stand tall in support of President Trump’s fight,”
///FightLikeHell
Epps was there and is under no threat, Rhodes wasn’t there and is indicted.
That word, justice, I don’t think it means what you think it does. You must’ve put too many modifiers on it and drained it of all meaning.
D00d. Epps testified that he is totally not an FBI asset. And he totally is not on camera committing incitement on multiple occasions.
I worry about that guy’s bar glassware. All the things it heard when Ray was crying in his beer has put it in jeopardy.
If it suddenly “falls” and breaks, I’ll be the first one shouting “Epp’s stein didn’t kill itself!”
How long have you been brewing that little gem?
Just beer with me and my puns.
Only if you hop to it and keep us amused, good Pope.
Threads like this are why I love this place. Worts and all.
It’s a tun of fun around here.
You drained every drop out of that pun, Jimbo.
He’s a right barrel of laughs, that one.
Oh, pils, you have been holdstein that in for a while.
*tapers stare*
They’re missing the lager point of all this.
FTFY
Slips just to the side of that one; it wasn’t me for once.
You used the wrong word there. This isn’t about any sort of justice. See 6 months of rioting and some $20 billion plus in damages, over 30 bodies, and absolute chaos supported by a apolitical party for more details.
This is about political theatre and helping team blue and the deep state thwart the people’s attempts to stop them from only allowing the people to pick from candidates that are compromised and owned by the deep state so the deep state can continue to be inept, corrupt, and evil without impunity.
Dealmed CEO Michael Einhorn told NTD News that “relying on the government to determine who gets what… can be very lengthy in terms of time and oftentimes you have surpluses in certain areas and nothing in other areas.”
“The process that we have now, which is practically a government takeover of these products, is not the solution and isn’t working,” Einhorn said.
Private shipments of Regeneron and Eli Lilly’s monoclonal antibody treatments were paused by the Biden administration. Eventually, the federal government took over distribution, but Florida Gov. Ron Desantis accused President Joe Biden of having a “stranglehold” on the treatment by controlling shipments to the state.
That’s crazy. Everybody knows government bureaucrats are omniscient, and perfectly aware of all aspects of the supply and demand for every product and service.
Maniac left: WE WANT GOVERNMENT HELALTH CARE BECAUSE IT IS A HUMAN RIGHT!
Reality: They want to break the healthcare system to punish people and really and most importantly use the power of government to force the people they hate to comply with the evil shit they want to do no matter how destructive and divisive that shit is.
How is this even a thing that we allowed to happen?
I see your problem…
You assume the people that should have known better and would have objected were either informed or against the shit in the first place. You can’t object to something, to prevent it at least, if you only find out about it after the fact. It’s too late. Too many people have jigh stakes they have to play for, and what is good for the people isn’t on any of those lists…

RNC mulls requiring candidates to avoid debates hosted by Commission on Presidential Debates
And miss out on having to debate the opponent AND the moderator? This is just part of the ongoing slow motion insurrection.
In the era of multiple communication platforms, we need to schedule times for the candidates to spout talking points in response to tangentially related questions. Otherwise Democracy dies.
Well I for one don’t want to have to listen to a candidate’s video where they take a deep dive into a particular issue and explain why they are the one who can help fix the problem.
I want to listen to no more than 30 seconds on any issue. And 28 seconds of that should be them calling their opponent a liar.
That is what the electorate demands and deserves.
Put the debate on at 3 AM and see how many people really care.
Politicians don’t fix things. There is no power and/or ability to get reelected in that shit. I want a candidate that says their sole focus will be to tear down the bureaucratic behemoth and reduce the system that allows the people in power to collude with the wealthy at our expenses to rubble. It is a fascist system that socializes private loss and privatizes private profit, and our power cabal has managed to enrich themselves beyond their wildest dreams by making the little people pay for the massive mistakes they have straddled us with.
Failure is success
A good thing about being on covid leave is the tastier breakfasts. Corned beef hash and eggs this morning. Except I didn’t have any corned beef so I used sausage. And I didn’t have any potatoes so I used broccoli.
Sausage, ok. Broccoli?
Big fan of that combo, especially on pizza.
Works well with orzo in a skillet for a quick dinner too.
Needs more hot sauce…
I thought you lost your sense of taste.
That’s how he is able to substitute broccoli for potatoes.

Sorry for the non-links link a little early, Banjos (and good morning!) — but this flabbergasted me:
45% of polled Democrats favor *camps* for the unvaccinated. And other bits of totalitarian goodness.
See also: They hate you, and they want you dead. There’s just a lot more of them than I would have suspected in the US. Thanks, Deptartment of Education.
FWIW, I recently participated in a Rasmussen poll. I identified as a Hispanic female against illegal immigration.
“Deptartment of Education” — yeah, I speel gud… sheesh.
Public school much?
Finally, I may get a chance to go to camp that I missed as a kid.
Time to buy some more ammo.
It’s not over. It’s only beginning.
Some of the other stats are chilling, too. 54% of the left support forcibly locking unvaxxers in their homes. Hitler didn’t have that level of support before he started strapping stars to semites.
Goebbels could have learned a thing or two from CNN and NPR.
“Other polling from Rasmussen shows that Democrats have higher rates of fear related to COVID and new variants.”
Their news sources are telling them to panic, and it’s still working.
The problem is that you can’t just turn the panic off.
When 2 years in you still think you have a 50/50 chance of being hospitalized what do you expect. Or that the rate of death is like 90% if you catch it.
They did it to the Japanese…and also Republicans are fascists.
To put a finer point on that:
A healthy majority, 78%, of Democrats support COVID vaccine mandates, which would force people out of their jobs if they choose not to receive a vaccination. Three-quarters have a favorable opinion of Dr. Fauci. A majority of Republicans and unaffiliated voters oppose the mandate and have a dim view of President Biden’s chief medical advisor.
In addition, a majority of Democrats support harsher measures for those who decide not to receive a vaccine that can’t prevent transmission or illness:
55% support fines for those who do not receive the vaccine.
59% support a policy that would keep the unvaccinated confined to their homes except for emergencies.
48% think federal and state governments should be able to fine or imprison individuals who publicly question the efficacy of the existing COVID-19 vaccines on social media, television, radio, or in online or digital publications.
45% favor governments requiring citizens to temporarily live in designated facilities or locations if they refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine.
47% favor a government digital tracking program for those who won’t get the COVID-19 vaccine to ensure that they socially distance and quarantine.
At this point, I’m hoping they self-destruct by continuing to vaccinate until they are dead.
It may be the least violent way out of this.
I thought you had to swallow to advance as far as she has.

President Affirmative Action strikes again
A source familiar with the president’s plans said Biden will tap former Fed governor Sarah Bloom Raskin to serve as Vice Chair for Supervision — a key regulatory role. In addition, Biden plans to nominate academic economists Lisa Cook and Philip Jefferson to fill the remaining vacancies on the Fed’s seven-member governing board.
If confirmed, Cook and Jefferson would be two of only five African American Fed governors in the central bank’s 108-year history, and the first since 2006.
Qualifications? Skin color.
So if it is now precedent that employees of health care facilities can be forced into medical choices, can the next GOP-er mandate that any employee who gets an abortion is fired?
THAT’S DIFFERENT!
Mandatory Norplant and PrEP.
It’s clearly in the Constitution that abortion be treated entirely differently from literally every other medical procedure out there, just as the Founders wanted when they wrote it.
Not Thomas Jefferson though.
They expressly stated their desire for a Living Document that changes with the times.
Yes, they did – Article FUCKING FIVE.
The process of amending the Constitution is tedious because it has great import. It literally is changing the rules by which our government is expected to operate. So, obviously, politicians and government agents look for ways to slide right up to (and over) the line where a change becomes so major as to require an Amendment. There are multiple problems with this, but the one I want to point out here is that the faster you can make changes, the less stable a system becomes.
In any feedback control system, be it a modern computerized control system in a chemical plant, something as simple as a guy standing there watching a gauge with his hand on a valve, or even a pilot flying an airplane, it is possible to take a closed loop control and drive the system to instability and potentially destruction by changing parameters that determine how fast the controller reacts to changes in the output of the process. The faster it reacts, and the higher the gain it applies to the information it receives from the process, the more quickly the system can be driven to failure.
There’s a common problem in aviation called “pilot induced oscillation” wherein a pilot controlling an aircraft cannot react quickly enough at a low enough level of gain to keep an aircraft stable in pitch in flight or while landing. Because the pilot is limited in his ability to apply fine control inputs, the inputs result in an exagerrated and excessive counter response to the system, driving it too far in the opposite direction. So now the pilot reacts again, this time with greater force, causing the aircraft to deviate even further from stability in the opposite direction.
The same thing can happen with an industrial control system that is out of tune, or has been tuned for a normal range of operation but now finds itself outside the regime where the specific tuning parameters work for that combination of system and controller.
In these cases, the only way to get the system back into stability is to completely remove the controller from the loop–go back to open loop, and if the system has a natural stability or equilibrium, it will return to that on its own (doing this when landing an airplane is not recommended because of the proximity to the ground–the better way in that case is to apply power and go around for another try).
Political systems work in the same ways, but their oscillations are measured with periods of years or decades, maybe even centuries. Making excessive changes to the inputs or rules of the system rapidly can cause extreme failures, and it’s possible that once the oscillation is set in motion, it will be either impossible to remove the controller from the system until it’s too late, or the direness of the situation will not be noticed for a long time, after which it can no longer be corrected safely.
AKA: Death Wobble
Damn, wall of text there. All that to say that people are impatient and will try to get around the slow process of Amendment, throw the system out of stability, and wreck it all eventually if they are not held to that process.
It’s like a rookie pilot falling for the ground loop.
Or me adjusting the hot water in the shower, even with years of experience
It was a big improvement over the AoC, with the requirement for unanimity. We’d still be electing the Vice President as the second highest electoral vote claimant. On the other hand, we’d have never had Prohibition, the income tax or the direct election of senators.
We’d probably also be part of the British Commonwealth or a French Territory.
It’s not a Living Document, it’s just a fetus document. It can be aborted at any time.
Maybe they can mandate abortions for women who become pregnant during their most economically productive years. Commerce Clause + “it’s a simple medical procedure.”
Raskin is a former financial regulator from Maryland, who served an earlier stint on the Fed board during the Obama administration. She left that post to take a job with the Treasury Department. Raskin is married to Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., who led the second impeachment of President Donald Trump.
Sounds legit.
Sarah Bloom Raskin has been outspoken in arguing that bank regulators should consider the financial risks posed by climate change.
That’s Job Number One.
Hey, maybe they’ll realize how much energy needs to be produced to run the printing press nonstop and try to stop printing for a bit to save the climate.
More likely they’ll push to outlaw bitcoin because of the needless energy consumption.
” bank regulators should consider the financial risks”
…should consider the financial opportunities for their friends…
Goodness… she’ll be so busy fighting Climate Change that I hope she finds time to root out Systemic Racism – which is after all central to every government job because Biden said so.
It is time for us to do what we have been doing and that time is everyday
And that my friends is how we’re going to do it.
And so right now we know we still have a number of people, that is in the millions of Americans, that have not been vaccinated and could be vaccinated and we are urging them to get vaccinated because it will save their life.
Fuck off.
The politics of failure have failed. We must make them work again.

Public Enemy Number One
Novak Djokovic faces possible deportation from Australia after the country’s immigration minister canceled the unvaccinated tennis star’s visa for a second time on Friday, citing public health.
——-
In a decision likely to have broad sporting and diplomatic consequences, Immigration Minister Alex Hawke said in a statement early Friday that he had used his discretionary powers to cancel the visa again “on the basis that it was in the public interest to do so.”
The government is “firmly committed to protecting Australia’s borders, particularly in relation to the Covid-19 pandemic,” Hawke added.
“I am the LAW.”
*makes jack-off motions, realizes that he is locked in a cell*
The Australian government needs someone to blame, and tennis guy is the perfect villain.
I doubt it will have any consequences whatsoever. The people there want it to happen, the other players are happy to wave goodbye to him, and nothing else happens. The clapping seals that support him in Serbia will raise a stink but who gives a shit about Serbia.
What’s it going to take for whatever org runs the tennis tournaments to kick Australia off it’s list of high profile opens? My guess is even if one of the players just fucking died of a heart attack on television during the finals, they wouldn’t do shit.
The narrative is breaking?
Mid-Terms a’comin!
Midterms coming, yo!
That sentence presumes there are people who have had a previous COVID infection and still caught Omicron. I’m betting they don’t have evidence of a single example.
Anecdotal, but I had the Kung Flu back in February 2019, before anyone even really got worried about it, and my symptoms were so minor I only found out I had had it from the Red Cross calling me to ask me to donate blood again as soon as possible because of antibodies in April.
While on vacation recently outside the country min December, I attended a dinner with old pals and a bunch of others (17 people total) where someone brought the Omicron to dinner with us. All but two of us at that table got the Cron. My girlfriend and I did not. And I have told her that I was pretty sure I had given her my Kung Flu as I ended up visiting her when I was supposed to be rocking the Alpha or Beta version.
Pretty sure we had it in November 2019.
Oops was 2020. Not 2019.
definitely 2020, March for me,
#MeToo
For me, mid-to-late October 2019, before we even had a name for it.
We were in northern Italy at that time.
Yep, Jan 2020 here in VA, fever that didn’t break, splitting headache, weird muscle soreness, severe fatigue, and of course a cough that lasted weeks. Have been in close proximity to multiple fully vaccinated covid positive cases within the last year, and haven’t had more than maybe a runny nose or sore throat.
There was an article in the NY Times from march of 2020 i believe that looked at influenza like illnesses in NYC in fall winter 2019 and it was off the charts. In early march NYC hospitals were turning people away who could breathe because it was def covid and there wasn’t much they could do. The blip on the case chart for coof in march April 2020 is absolutely the end of a giant bell curve of cases. I’m convinced the CDC altered how they measure excess deaths beginning march 2020, because the chart I saw in that NYTs article when coof was likely raging does not add up to the excess death numbers provided.
This is the most depressing set of morning lynx I’ve seen in a long, long time.

An interesting string from a big tech guy about the bizarro world he works in.
https://mobile.twitter.com/HazardHarringto/status/1481797871389351936
I happen to live with a person who works for a major Big Tech firm. A lot of that seems to be true, although from the meetings I have overheard, they don’t start with pronouns and talk about how shitty their lives are. Maybe a different company, or different segment of the same company.
They tried the pronoun shit at my company for a few months about 2 years ago, but people like me that told them we identify as thermonuclear weapons, attack helicopters, purple dragons, angelic entities, Satan, or battleships and then acted pissed when called out on that identification and pointed out they were othering us, killed that idiocy dead in but two months.
Sounds very familiar. My company isn’t that bad (thank God), but they’re walking the same path.
(I dunno how it got threaded here…. Was meant as a reaction to the link)
I find none of that surprising. Depressing, yes, but not surprising.
Anybody who couldn’t see this coming after the James Damore fiasco is a fool.
You could not pay me enough to work in that environment.
I think I’ve spotted part of the problem. Work is not life, people, despite what your boss thinks.
Twitter won’t let me copy/paste, but there’s a section where he talks about going around the room where everyone is supposed to talk about how they feel, he answers good, and a woman gets pissed he answers positively.
I went through this in school. We went around the room and everyone talked about how hard the program is and how important it is to practice “self-care”. What a bullshit term. There was also a lot of talk about how hard it is to be a woman pursuing a PhD and about how they needed to be role models for their daughters in the ground they are breaking in a world that is hostile to women and people of color. For context, I’m the only male in the class and one of two white males out of the 60 or so people in the program. Give me a break.
For some reason, I was skipped over. Which is good because like this poor bastard in twitter, I don’t know what else I could have said other than things are going well. And that I have no idea what this ridiculous “self-care” businesses is. I suspect it’s whining from people who are in over their heads but also have the luxury of navel-gazing because their spouse is the primary supporter. I somehow doubt that the single mother working 2 jobs to put food on the table for her children and a roof over their heads is worrying about “self-care”.
We’re working on a major capital project–I heard the other day that the control systems are in danger of delay because the DCS manufacturer is having difficulties sourcing microprocessors to build boards.

I would call Biden very ballsy for saying that shit out loud, except I don’t think he has the mental acuity to know what he is revealing with his statements.
It was amazing though to hear a president say that “who counts the votes” is important. It was depressing to have a press corps that let that statement sail by without any comments or follow up questions.

I admit it. I’m bottomfeeding in the real estate market. I have no expectations of getting some sort of fantastic deal on the
homeshop of my dreams. But come on. I looked at a(nother) place yesterday which was like an EPA Superfund site. Decades of accumulated trash. A garage which appears to have been on fire at some point. Junk everywhere, and an old singlewide trailer which is apparently such a health hazard they won’t even let you inside.What lured me in? A good sized pole barn shop. also in decay.With no electricity.
On 3/4 of an acre in a funky little enclave out in the country.It could probably be made into a cool place to live, but not if I had to sink $200k into it before I could start going forward.
All for the low low price of $155k. These people are a lot like Minnie Mouse: fucking goofy.
I’m trying to decide if it’s even worth making an offer of $120, just for the lulz. $80k would be more realistic.
Maybe I should just start looking at bare ground. I wonder what it would cost to sink a well and build a metal “arch building”.
“Minnie Mouse: fucking goofy”
Mickey’s always hopped up on coke so he can’t get it up.
“3/4 of an acre in a funky little enclave out in the country”
If all you’re looking for is a single-wide and a workshop, have you considered buying raw land, then having a single-wide put on it and getting the shop built? Would take more time, but you might come out ahead financially in the end and definitely get what you want.
Make the offer in writing. Real Estate person has to present.
Ya might get lucky.
I wonder what it would cost to sink a well and build a metal “arch building”
In Montana right? The cost for a well is location dependent. In VA, probably $5-10k. I’m guessing there are parts of Montana where you’ll need to go down several hundred feet and maybe still not hit. Could be several tens of thousands.
Explain your reasons to the realtor, he/she gets the commission on 80K instead of a non-commission on 155K. The realtor wants to sell, the property is a dog to the agent, as you pointed out. Tell the owner to clean it up and you’d you’d be interested at the 155 point.
Neighbor just put in a well up here in Bonner county. Drilled down 600′ and costed somewhere around $30k-40k.
Wisconsin judge destroys democracy.
Absentee ballot drop boxes can no longer be used in Wisconsin, a judge ruled on Thursday as the state prepares for spring and fall elections.
Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Michael Bohren said that absentee ballots could not be returned through drop boxes, saying “there’s no authority to do it,” the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. However, Bohren said that state law does allow for absentee ballots to be mailed back or handed in in-person.

Team blue is so desperate to fortify the coming midterm elections so they can keep power that Pelosi’s crew removed the content of a bill to fund NASA and preplaced it with their government voting fortification bill’s drivel..
These are the people that tell you they are morally superior to the rest of us..
The Democratic leadership of the House, in an unusual move, then took the Senate-amended bill and stripped out the NASA provisions, replacing it with the text of two voting rights bills and now called the “Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act.” They did so because H.R. 5746 had already passed the House and Senate, so the amended version could go directly to the Senate floor without the threat of a filibuster from Senate Republicans, who oppose the voting rights legislation.
That can’t be legitimate.
“Though I did not expect this outcome when I first introduced the NASA Enhanced Use Leasing Extension Act, if my legislation will help overcome the filibuster, the Senate can finally have the long-overdue debate on voting rights this country deserves,” he said in a Jan. 13 statement. “I would be honored to make this unexpected contribution to the cause of protecting our democracy.”
Go fuck yourself, you dishonest cunte.

Hillary’s calling tens of millions of Americans deplorables was divisive & disgusting. But Biden has gone further, calling those who disagree with his actions & policies domestic enemies, traitors, and racists. Biden promised to unite us, but he is doing all he can do divide us.
She is dead on..
And a definite would.
If all you’re looking for is a single-wide and a workshop, have you considered buying raw land, then having a single-wide put on it and getting the shop built? Would take more time, but you might come out ahead financially in the end and definitely get what you want.
I am stridently anti-trailer-house. I looked at a couple of places (before I had any money in the bank) which were suitable for my needs. I have been looking for something with infrastructure (well, septic, power) already in place. I keep saying, “A small house and a big shop, and the house is optional.”
A place with a shop and trailer would be good, because trailers can be dragged away and replaced with something better; for one thing, I don’t want to live in a long thin tunnel (that, more than anything else, is what soured me on shipping container houses). 1000 square feet (~30 x 30) of open-plan living area would be more than enough for me. The loft in my shop in Livingston was less than 600.
“A small house and a big shop, and the house is optional.”
I concur.

Homeschooling in Virginia has increased by nearly 40% since 2019, which has been partly fueled by the implementation of critical race theory in classrooms and the coronavirus.
“The children don’t belong to the state. I think parents really want to impart their own values to their children – their values and beliefs and their own worldview. And that is a major reason parents are home schooling,” Yvonne Bunn, director of government affairs for the Home Educators Association of Virginia, told the Virginia Mercury earlier this month.
Sounds like some seditious talk.
At least it’s easy to homeschool in VA.
All I had to do was send in an outline of what classes he would be taking.
The first year I was detailed about this.
Every year after that, I sent the exact same outline.
Never once got a question.
I think parents really want to impart their own values to their children – their values and beliefs and their own worldview.
Government schools were created and mandated specifically to prevent this.
But, but, but Horace Mann had the best intentions!
The children don’t belong to the state – give it a few years
I went into Fredericksburg. As many of you don’t know/care, US-1 in Virginia cannot be named Jefferson Davis Highway. The local area now has multiple names based on the preferences of each jurisdiction. It will take time to resign everything. It looked like Fredericksburg isn’t waiting for the new signs to pull down the old ones so hopefully you aren’t relying on signs to help you find your way. Spotsy still has the old signs up.
Finally the Racial Healing can begin. What a happy day for Virginia.
There are still other streets with offensive names, not to mention subdivisions, supervisor districts, counties, …
Not to mention everything named after the natives, pretty much everything in the state needs to be renamed to not offend the lefts delicate sensibilities.

In Montana right? The cost for a well is location dependent. In VA, probably $5-10k. I’m guessing there are parts of Montana where you’ll need to go down several hundred feet and maybe still not hit. Could be several tens of thousands.
Idaho, now. I used to tell people, about my place in Montana: “I never would have wasted ten seconds thinking about buying that property if it didn’t already have a well on it.”
Around here (Pocatello/Blackfoot), a well doesn’t seem to be much of a crapshoot. But there’s always an element of risk, and in the current environment, finding somebody who will show up and drill is far from certain.
So who is fucking up real estate prices in Idaho? Californians like other places?
Like sportsball teams, California, Illinois and New York have agreed to the markets they are going to abuse.
in that case why do all New York sportsball teams suck ass?
Yes. But only the ones in Jersey

It is absolutely Californians. By a wide margin. I work for a builder in Idaho and I meet every buyer. 80% of what we sell is to Golden State assholes. I keep telling people I’m becoming racists against Californians. They really are a different breed of entitled and rude. And they all say the same thing…. I’m not one of “those” Californians. They are delusional about how deep the rot goes.
From which parts of CA, mostly? Or all over?
All over. The area codes run the gamut. As you’d expect, the bay area ones are on their own special level of suck. Not a ton of those though. I suspect it’s because many of them wouldn’t be caught dead in deplorableville. The funny thing is how many of them are retired Cali state pensioned workers. Their tax base is fleeing right along with all the money they’re paying out in pensions. I can’t even begin to comprehend the level of economically screwed they are right now.

“The Republican Party is a ‘front for a terrorist movement,’ MSNBC contributor and controversial political scientist Dr. Jason Johnson argued on the network Thursday, comparing the GOP to a ‘terror cell.’
Dr. Johnson made an appearance on ‘Deadline: White House,’ where he proceeded to make the brazen comparison while discussing the relationship between former President Donald Trump and the Republican Party as the 2024 presidential election draws ever near.
Dr. Johnson, who is an associate professor of communication and journalism at HBCU Morgan State University, referred to Trump as ‘the bad guy’ and called the Republican Party itself a ‘front for a terrorist movement.’
‘If Trump is on the ballot in 2024, it’s the easiest thing in the world for Democrats because you can always run against the bad guy,’ Johnson said.
‘But I think the bigger more dangerous thing, and I’ve been saying for a while, I’m working hard to never say “Republican Party” again because it’s not a party.’
‘The GOP is no longer a governing party and news outlets should stop using that term.'”

I’m torn about how much to worry. Have you seen MSNBC’s ratings? I just saw something that said they peak at around 1.3M. Nobody is listening to these assholes anymore. Part of me thinks that they’re just allowing this sort of rhetoric to try to grab back some of those sweet OMB ratings dollars. It’s really looking like their insane power play bills are not only going to fail, but completely backfire.

Where I differ with RFK is that he persists in thinking the system can be fixed. His book is evidence that it is wholly corrupt, far beyond what you could imagine.
No, but I heard him on Tom Woods.
If half of what he says is true, Fauci needs curb stomped.
*I don’t know if it’s true or not, but it was rage inducing.
Here’s the thing. RFK Jr. has opened himself up for a massive libel suit.
The things he has documented on Fauci in that book are in many cases criminal.
So why doesn’t Fauci go after him in court? Why doesn’t he protect his reputation?
I think it’s because Fauci is terrified of discovery and RFK has been tediously attentive to the facts.
Good point, if someone had written a book about me like that, I would be doing everything I could to get the truth out.
But I don’t have the media and government acting as a shield for me either.

I believe I have seen peak ‘vid douchebaggery. I was at a grocery store the other day, and there was a masked couple (from what I could see, 20’s-30’s) who were walking around with a tape measure extended to the six foot mark as they made their way through the store. I thought nothing could be any more idiotic then the asshole who went around a couple years back with three foot pool noodles strapped onto his bike to show drivers the new (state law mandated) safe passing distance for vehicles.
Did you yell at them to stop hogging the aisles?
I dealt with them as you would any other mentally ill person in public. I ignored them.
I have a feeling if they had poked me with a tape measure, they would no longer have a tape measure.
Southpark did it.

“See, the way rapacious corporations make outsized profits is by not delivering goods to buyers. You shouldn’t need a Nobel Prize to see that.”
That’s some serious Krugman-envy.
This is what some don’t understand. We don’t have to build “affordable” housing. Building high end housing (which is what gets built) lowers the demand for older housing, making is more affordable. A new “McMansion” creates a chain of housing shifts, making everything slightly more affordable all the way down the price continuum. So on March 4th, some poor Gen Z moving into their first house, you are welcome.
Although I will just be opening up a rental, as I sold my old house last June, so they chain is probably already complete.
But I will be reducing the rental demand by 1 unit, so that helps too.
Jane Jacobs pointed this out sixty years ago in a widely-celebrated book that every lefty professes to love but which none of them have apparently read.

It’s always going to be tricky. You really can’t. It’s why we need an inherently weak government.
Wrong. An owner of a platform my decide what speech is permitted on that platform – it is a prerogative of ownership.
The govt may not direct or encourage any private property owner as to what is permissible speech.
blech – may, not “my”
Sure they can.
And do.
Clicked too soon.
See, e.g., SCOTUS’s amendment of the 1A to exclude commercial speech.
I’m sure they would have loved to impeach Trump a third time for suggesting NFL anthem kneelers be silenced, but I don’t think even the establishment could’ve pulled that off.
How can that view be unpopular if Biden is the most popularly elected president evar?
Nixon had a 23% popular vote advantage over McGovern, Biden’s was just shy of 4.5%.

I…uh….what?
I know that this is an unpopular view, but the fact that President Biden has accomplished as much as he has despite a Congress that can’t function and a judiciary that thinks there’s a Let’s Go Brandon Clause in the Constitution is a testament to his skill as an executive.
Yup. President Git ‘Er Done!
We have not seen any appreciable inflation in decades. That he has been able to rocket us into the ’70s on inflation is truly an astonishing feat.
He didn’t do that all on his own – the Fed gave him a lot of help, even before he was elected.
I still have no idea how we spent a bonus trillion dollars several times over a 12-year period and did not get massive inflation. They do actually need to rewrite some textbooks over that one.
This is always worth reminding people of. This isn’t a democrat problem. It’s a duopoly problem. As long as one of the two major parties is in power the government, the debt and inflation will all continue to grow at an ever quickening clip.
The whole thing where a chip shortage reducing the volume of new car production led to soaring prices for used cars seems like it might contain some lessons for housing policy.
The suspense is killing me.
Does it have anything to do with windows?
No, load-bearing Tortillas.
Got a kick out of this story.

Moments are failing to kill the racist and outmoded filibuster, Democrats used it to block a Republican bill.

“I think this is the first time that the NYT has conceded that there is a legitimate debate on the question. Amazing concession to reality given the toxicity of the subject.”

Article paywalled. There shouldn’t be any debate. Obviously, trans teens should get a psych evaluation before medically transitioning.
While SCOTUS let most of us off the hook yesterday, they essentially declared anyone working in “healthcare” a non-person. As usual, Roberts chops up the baby and some people are pissed.

Some of us are still waiting to see what happens with the Federal Contractor mandate. Based on my understanding of the SCOTUS opinions, I’m not very hopeful.
Yeah, I can’t find any definitive answer to that one.
It’s still under a stay under several of the federal courts. One stay was just for several midwestern states (including Ohio), another put the stay on the order nationally. I don’t know when the trials are scheduled, or the status of any appeals.
I’m waiting to see if an office / wfh employee of a lab company is a “healthcare” worker.
Are you subject to regulation by CMS? If so, you are. I don’t believe the CMS reg makes any distinction between patient care/public facing and back office. Why would it? The purpose is to force the vax on as many people as possible.
It’s an interesting way of warning businesses never to be taking “free” money from the government.
A surge in healthcare providers turning away Medicare patients would be the fastest way to get fully federalized healthcare imaginable.
I’m talking more about non-healthcare businesses being shown what could happen to them if they allow even the camel’s nose under the tent.
Ha! Like defense contractors?
Yep, totally!
“The original run of “Will and Grace” (1998-2006), did more to advance the cause of gay marriage than anything else pre-Obergefell.”

It was True Blood. No one wanted to fuck anyone on Will and Grace.
“So, in September 2020, the Academy launched its Representation and Inclusion Standards Entry platform (or RAISE). For a movie to qualify for Best Picture, producers not only had to register detailed personal information about everyone involved in the making of that movie, but the movie had to meet two of the Academy’s four diversity standards—touching on everything from on-screen representation to creative leadership. (An Academy spokesperson said “only select staff” would have access to data collected on the platform.) “
*raises hand*
Will and Grace era Debra Messing was definitable bangable in my book.
Oh, hell yes.

Military people can have a truly badass sense of honor. She seems to be one of those.
Would make a good hire when she returns to civilian life.
Jesse is a beast.

Seems appropriate.
