“Nancy Pelosi to seek re-election”
Go Vodka-Skeletor, it’s your birthday!
I can’t believe she is coming back. The Squad is going to make her miserable. Especially if they are in the minority.
I am guessing that she feels that she has better chances of preventing the other side from turning the tables on her and using the left’s tactics of lies and projection of accusations, and landing her ass in jail.
I’d like to think she’s already miserable 24/7.
I think she prefers it that way, just as long as she can make others more miserable.
Ugh, why. Why with 27+ of house dems not seeking reelection we have to be stuck with HER?
We really live in the worst of all possible worlds, happy wednesday!
Not even close. Be thankful.
I actually believe something close to “we live in the best of all possible worlds” but it’s just funny that Nancy is eternal.

Her reason is that if she isn’t in congress she can’t use that power to prevent people from actually using the team blue tactics to go after her using the full power of the law.
“Bitcoin falls 50% from record highs”
I am no investment advisor here, but based on the attack-dump-buyupcheap-pump strategies I saw in the corporate world, I believe the smart thing to do is to hold onto your coin. This looks exactly like a planned attack on the coin by people that want those holding current bitcoin to panic and sell low. Once they have syphoned enough of that wealth on the cheap, they will suddenly restore confidence and value. The elite don’t like that the plebes have skill to make money they can’t just take whenever they want too much, and bitcoin is one of those things they hate the plebes having.
When Bitcoin produces something other than dreams I’ll want to get in. The dollar also is a measure of a dream but a dream most of the world shares.
I think the more important idea is that you cannot hold dollars. That will lead to ruin, so invest in *something*.
I’m off about the same opinion. I was a late adopter, but plan to hold onto my small stash. I would be buying but I have too much going on right now.
This is my assessment as well. My bitcoin/crypto holdings started with proceeds from mining and a some small bits of “fun money” I threw in. I made the mistake of dumping a bunch of ETH when it collapsed a couple of years ago. I had about 20 eth at a low price and dumped it, then I stopped paying attention and came back a year later and it was at about 3x what I had, so I bought in again. If I had held onto what I had originally, I’d be up nearly 6x, but as it is, I’m way below that.
I think HODL is the way to go, but if you’re betting your retirement on crypto, you need to reconsider your strategies. Fun money only unless you have a very carefully considered set of stop-loss values and some basic technical decision points.
And be very weary of scams. An old girlfriend contacted me a week ago to ask if she could borrow $50K cause she had her child’s school money (she is an Asian tiger mom and is sending her daughter to a $50K per semester high school and plans to make her go to an ivy league school) in Ethereum and had just been scammed by some people on WhatsApp that identified themselves as Chinese as well. They told her late last December that if she moved her money for 24 hrs into their account they would give her 10% of the total she moved, and she transferred all $328K she had just to watch them stop all communication with her and the money go up in smoke.
She balked when I told her that for that kind of money she needed to sign a contract cause I didn’t want to be scammed myself. But that sure as hell is one heck of a price to pay to learn a lesson about greed and offers that are too good to be true..
An old girlfriend contacted me a week ago to ask if she could borrow $50K
This is like living in a completely different world.
Yep. I think people may be a little more susceptible to crypto scams, partially because of the general nature of hucksterism in the crypto space inuring people to hyperbolic statements and claims of incredible gains, and part because they don’t treat it like real money.
Why on earth would you lend her any money after that experience?
Once she sends them the additional 50k they pinky swear to send all 400k back.
^^^THIS^^^
She was mad I told her not without a contract, cause she now lives too far for me to collect it in booty calls.
50k is an awful lot of booty calls even if you don’t count the commute.
Yup.
What about booty calls at Ivy League schools?
Not sure what you are recommending there bro, but it sounds like you are encouraging me to end up in one of these links Q occasionally gives us about people banging moms and daughters at the same time amongst the avalanche of cucking links.
I hope that’s the dumbest thing I read all day. Because that’s pretty fucking dumb.
Buy Bitcoin now or when it gets to a price you can live with. It will absolutely go back up.
I made a lot of money buying in 2017 and selling fairly high.
The negative yielding bond market is $20 trillion dollars. All of crypto is $2 trillionish.
Only one of these is considered risky/scammy.
I know right. The municipalities that are taking out these bonds for the most part pay up but there are numerous examples where bonds are written off. The negative yield bond is insane to me and should signal that bonds are not what they appear to be.
Digital currency is mostly what it appears to be. In the case of Bitcoin, a finite amount of “money” that can easily be traded via peer-to-peer electronic means.
The other funny thing is that most bonds are traded electronically too. Its not like most people hold a piece of paper bond anymore.
I’m rather impressed by her capacity for blatant fucking lies.
That said, you know what else doesn’t work against Omicron and has side effects?
This is all political, by design, and a sign of how evil these people that made this decision really are. What the FDA has done is obey orders from partisan fucking democrat hacks to prevent Florida from being able to deliver some of the treatment options that have allowed the state to stay open and still not let the Kung Flu kill a large percentage of its elderly population. PMSNBC/The Clinton News Network need new anti-Florida/anti-DeSantis talking points now that our occupied congress’ attempts to rig the 2022 midterms has hit a serious snag, and the crime syndicate with the blue banner is hoping the death count in FLA goes up so they can dance on those people’s graves and lie to the public that blue states fucking over their population did the right thing. Anything for power, brah.
Serious-Grown-Up-in-Chief
President Joe Biden acknowledged Tuesday a deeply uncertain situation at the Ukraine border, where Russian troops are amassing but few observers have any definitive knowledge of whether or when they might invade.
Earlier, the White House said a Russian invasion was “imminent,” and American troops have been placed on high alert to deploy to Europe in a show of reassurance. US and European sanctions have been readied in the event of an invasion. Biden also said he’d be willing to apply sanctions on Russian President Vladimir Putin himself, a step previous presidents have avoided.
Even as tensions mount, however, Biden conceded that one man’s opaque decision-making would determine how events unfold.
“This is all Putin. I don’t even think his people know for certain what he will do,” Biden said as he made a brief outing in Washington for ice cream and to browse a local store, purchasing gifts for his wife and grandson.
And Biden revealed he could move US troops into Eastern Europe soon to demonstrate American commitment to its NATO allies: “I may be moving some of those troops in the near term just because it takes time. And again, it’s not provocative,” he said.
This is starting to remind me of a little vignette I witnessed a long time ago. Two guys in a bar; one eventually grew weary of the other’s moronic ramblings and strolled over, yanked him off his barstool, and used his head for a soccer ball.
I don’t see this theatrical bluster ending well.
After a war in eastern Europe, will we import millions of Russian and Ukrainian refugees? Or will they be taking American refugees?
Both will be lapped up by the CCP as new slave labor in their new occupied colonies in North Western Asia and North America.

Seriously, I’m going to let you kick it this time.
This isn’t exactly the same as the “why are deaths elevated?” article, but a friend who’s a nurse in our local hospital told me an interesting Covid-related anecdote the other day.
Short version: A whole lot of the people who end up in the hospital with Covid are there because they got the cold and let it develop into pneumonia. And it’s because the Covid diagnosis paralyzed them – they just failed to treat the cold because “it’s Covid and you can’t do anything”, so it turned into pneumonia. Basically the culture of fear froze their response; they didn’t do what they’d have done for a normal cold a few years back, so it got worse.
To be fair, isn’t that what doctors and hospitals are telling them to do? “Don’t come to us unless you’re dying.”
I think the point Pine is making is that most of us when we have a cold take on a regimen of medication, rest, starving vs. feeding the thing, and so on, while most Covidians simply lay there crying like bitches and end up with pneumonia because they do nothing to help their bodies fight it.
I don’t think that’s it. The impression I had is more that there’s a new/wrong impression (in the sick person) that “it’s Covid !!!!!” and they freeze up instead of treating their symptoms at home, and that’s how they become one of the “dying”.
yeah, what Alex said. My response above is to rhywun, in case the threading doesn’t work.
I don’t know that I ever really did anything different when I got a cold in the before times.
This. I’m not even sure how to treat a cold, because I practically never get them.
People under the age of 75 don’t remember a time when prescription medications didn’t really exist. That didn’t happen until 1951 – and doctors really weren’t trained in the pharmacopeia (and still only get a rudimentary exposure to it). The US Pharmacopeia added quinine in 1831 – pharmacists recommended it for colds. Most of the US pharmacopeia lagged European pharmacopeias by a couple decades! After physicians tried nosing into the Pharmacopeia, pharmacists associations began publishing what became the National Formulary.
After 1951 – when Hubert Humphrey sponsored legislation to turn pharmacy into what we know of today (with a msssvie reduction in over-the-counter therapies), pharmaceutical companies became big business.
doctors really weren’t trained in the pharmacopeia (and still only get a rudimentary exposure to it)
Pharmacists are still the experts on drugs and in a sane world would have a much greater say in their use. The “rudimentary exposure”, such as it is, consists of regular visits from pharmaceutical reps. Love those free samples.
My neighbor had post-covid pneumonia and my wife is still fighting the aftereffects.
The problem is that they don’t prescribe anything for covid or to prevent infections afterwards.
It’s enraging. They are literally condemning people to death because they want to protect their vaccine regimen.
I want them to hang.
AZT says “Hi, Dr. Fauci!”
The refusal or even just failure to treat is an abomination of medical ethics.
“Treat the patient in front of you” – Dr. Peter McCullough on Joe Rogan podcast. This is what happens when you rely on “public health” instead of people’s own fucking doctors.
You see that congressional session where the CA doctor basically pointed out that the state sent them all a notification that if they refused to comply with the state’s mandates (not to be confused with 2 guys on a date) they would investigate and remove their license to practice?
“Consult your doctor” only works well if your doctor has not received a notice from the state telling them to comply or lose their license.
This is exactly what happened with my mother in law. She got to the hospital just in time to get the pneumonia treated. I don’t think she would have made it another day.

+1 The Narrative
Shorter translation: “We threaten the livelihood of a guy we don’t like. It worked and now he’s dead. Hurray.”
“What the FDA is making clear is that these treatments, the ones that they are fighting over, that the governor is fighting over, do not work against omicron and they have side effects. That is what the scientists are saying,” said Psaki.
“C’mon, man. That dumb son of a bitch DeSanta is down there in FL making me look bad. We gotta take this virus seriously. Not a joke.”
What makes me warm and fuzzy is the fact that I am pretty sure everyone in this fight is either lying or twisting data mightily in order to back up their side of this fight.
Sure would be nice to have some trusted source of data and analysis that could tell us if the monoclonal treatments are truly ineffective or not.
Seems the best we can do at this point is allow people to make their own choices, since no one has a concrete answer. Naturally that is the exact opposite stance our fed gov is taking. Anything not mandatory is prohibited.
Everyone needs to read that article. It is a master class in everything that is wrong right now.
In defending shutting down Florida’s unique monoclonal antibody distribution program, the white house claims the reason is that it doesn’t work against Omicron. They deride the Governor for wanting to use a medication that doesn’t work and ahs side effects (side effects from the monoclonal antibodies? That is a stretch, but ignore that for a moment)
The very next thing,: so go get the vaccine and booster. Because that works.
Notwithstanding that they have much greater side effects and are not effective against Omicron.
So. Master class in deception.
Next:. Our intrepid reporter did not note the outrageous contradiction, nor did he ask about it.
Master class number 2.
No no, the jabs totally work on Omicron, you just have to get, like, a dozen of the shots!
That is what is so infuriating about this.
Vaccines are not “strong” or “weak”. They are specific.
If it does not stimulate immunity against the epitopes on the virus, it won’t work. Making a bigger immune response to the wrong thing is not helpful.
(Why the immune system memory is shortened for this virus is another question, one that several PhD’s will be granted for studying, I am sure)
I’m having a recurring argument with a guy in biotech who keeps bringing up the antibody response to the vaccines.
He’s either being willfully obtuse or is a lot dumber than I figured. An antibody to the wrong thing or even an antibody response that is too narrowly defined is useless at best.
Ultimately, you have to judge the vaccines based on the empirical data from the field. Those who continue to rely on cherry-picked lab results at this point are intentionally avoiding the obvious conclusions.
Yeah. It is the “informed” that I find most infuriating. Randome dude at work or even a news anchor? Annoying. Maybe.
But when you see a doctor completely missing the relevant facts, or flat out getting the biology wrong… That is inexcusable.
Why Are Non-COVID-19 Deaths Spiking Among Prime-Age Americans?
Fake news. All deaths are covid. Now get your vax, you anti-science bigot.
The charts are interesting, there has been a lot of damage to the American psyche and economy because of an add-on of additional deaths in the over 65 crowd. It’s not the deaths, it’s the reaction to the deaths.
Some of the deaths attributed to covid would have occurred anyway.
I know that in my circle of friends and acquaintances, there were a lot more suicides (successful and attempted), then hospitalizations for Covid (let alone deaths).
I’d say it’s about even for me, but I’ve got a tiny sample size…
Based on that headline I figured it meant people aged 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, etc

Man Deemed Ineligible for Heart Transplant After Refusing Coronavirus Vaccine
Strange how a person with a heart problem doesn’t want an injection that causes cardiovascular issues.
Doctors going along with this are evil.
The CDC and some experts say that the excess deaths could be misclassified COVID-19 deaths, as well as deaths due to lack of care because of hospitals being overwhelmed with COVID-19 patients. They point to the fact that about a third of Americans die at home. Their death certificates would probably have been written by attending physicians who may not have tested the patient for COVID-19.
Sounds legit.
Bitcoin falls 50% from record highs
I bought at exactly the wrong time. But only a couple hundred dollars in order to dip my toe in the market and learn the ropes.
I’m gonna buy some with my next paycheck. Ive heard it’s an 18 month cycle tied to mining adjustments to bitcoin.
That makes sense, they just halved the rewards I believe, or soon will.
I don’t understand why that wouldn’t make the price go up though.
They have a real structural problem with Bitcoin. Mining is too slow and too expensive. One of the original selling points was cheap (free) global secure exchange of currency.
If that is ever a real driving factor again instead of speculative investment. The crowd may move to another platform.
I’ve been thinking this is inevitable for quite a while, but Bitcoin always seems to bounce back.
It should, but it may be delayed. I forget, it was probably a year ago that I read the article. Their theory matched the past performance pretty well, and I’m pretty sure the dump and pump happens every time the halving occurs. Now is good getting before it heads to $500k.
My BTC holdings ($150ish invested, probably $75 value right now) are purely speculative. I’ll sell whenever I see a decent return. My staked ETH is a buy and hold because I think ETH is Facebook and BTC is MySpace.
I’m thinking I should buy a little
On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Robert Jonker said defendants who claim government entrapment “have a heavy burden to carry.”
Being entrapped does weigh heavy on the soul.
And here I was thinking it was da gubmint who had the heavy burden of proof to convict.
That was THEN. This is NOW!…
Guilty until you prove your innocence to the government’s satisfaction..
Otherwise democracy dies!
Entrapment, like self defense, is a positive case that has to be made – unlike pleading not guilty and requiring the state to prove beyond a reasonable doubt.
Even of positive, the burden still is on the State to prove the claim wrong while the defendant attempts to bolster their views.
I call this one a wash.
Not really. Any time you take on a positive claim (just as the prosecutor does in first bringing charges), you carry the burden. And in the instance of entrapment, you have to prove you had no disposition to doing the crime in question. Ask Marion Barry about it.
I reject your world view sir!
If having capital police hold the door for you as you walk in and they wave you through does not count as “entrapment” or “permission” in defense of a trespassing charge, I don’t know what would.
OK, that’s an entirely different case. And of course, when asked to leave, everyone did.

Take 2 homeless guys. Offer them free food and hotel rooms if they will ride around in a car with you.

– are picking up your kids?
– have to deposit a check?
– need to stop at the DMV for two hours?
– have to stop at your dealer to buy a gram?
– need to pick up payments from the hookers you are pimping?
– drive by a house to case it for a future B&E?
Because, I am thinking they don’t care about any of those. And what they stand accused of sounds very similar to the last item on the list.
It was a public building and the public servants inside were conducting what is normally the public counting of EC votes from states.
Maybe those that entered private offices might be subject to trespassing or some misdemeanor. Those that vandalized would be subject to that charge. All the other protesters have done nothing criminal.
I wish at least one of those protesters demanded a speedy and public jury trial and put the US govt on notice. I would have bet the US gov dropped charges in that case to avoid being seen as a Communist show trial that it is.
There’s a growing group of doctors and researchers who are pointing to the COVID-19 vaccines as a possible culprit in at least a portion of the excess deaths in 2021. They usually point to several physiological mechanisms through which the vaccines could cause harm combined with known side effects, as well as data from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), a database of reports of health problems that have occurred after a COVID-19 vaccination that may or may not have been caused by it.
VAERS reports exploded with the introduction of the COVID-19 vaccines. By Jan. 7, there were more than 1 million reports in the system, including more than 21,000 deaths. Previously, there would be about 40,000 reports and a few hundred deaths per year. Reports are largely filed by health care personnel, based on previous research.
The usual arguments against the VAERS data have been that it’s unverified and unreliable. However, some researchers have pointed out that the system isn’t meant to provide definitive answers, but rather early warnings. In their view, the reports have raised numerous red flags that haven’t been sufficiently investigated.
I’m pretty comfortable believing vaccine deaths are represented by a number greater than zero.

Ever. You won’t need a booster ever. Unless you want to damage your immune system.
I don’t see how people don’t see the problem with pushing the current shots while there is supposedly this new variant that is predominant. The narrative is fucked.
There is so much wrong with this I don’t know where to start:
1) By the time it’s released Omicron will be over
2) How are they going to do safety tests in the timeframe provided?
3) They’re still not acknowledging natural immunity
4) What is the cumulative effect of these shots?
5) They haven’t finished long term safety trials on the first versions.
You have some link that confirms long-term safety trials are actually going on?
Fair point
Yes. This is the requisite, ongoing clinical trial for Pfizer BNT162b2. You know, the vaccine currently being forced on everyone on the illegal claim that it is “interchangeable” with the already licensed – but unavailable product – Comirnaty? This is the study that supposedly would allow BNT162b2 to be licensed by the FDA… except this experimental drug is still being forced on everyone under the pretense (abetted by Pfizer’s media drones) that it is “the same” as Comirnaty. It’s what we sent the Nazi doctors to the gallows for (they forced people to take experimental smallpox vaccines, among other treatments). Nothing to see here, though. Totally cool.
What would the world look like with Mengele and the other Nazi doctors running around free after the war with millions of supporters running interference for them? I have a feeling we’re going to find out.
We already have that, trashy.

Although Bernie sounds like he cares, I wonder where he thinks the qualified candidates for FDA commissioner would go otherwise? Plumbing and pipefitting?
nine out of the last 10 FDA commissioners have gone on to work for the pharmaceutical industry
Here’s what I don’t get about that… Exactly what else are they qualified to go do after a stint at the top of the FDA?
Looking at the past handful of commissioners of the USPTO (because I’m familiar with how it operates), they all work at major law firms that do business with the USPTO. That’s what they’re qualified to do.
That’s not to say that I’m oblivious to the self dealing and the misaligned incentives at the FDA. Only that the mere fact that they go on to work at pharma companies isn’t strong evidence of that self dealing.
Dang, I need to refresh before posting
Sometihng seems wrong there, Ozy. For one, the “approval” happened in 2021, but the start date is April 2020. But I can let that slide.
It’s the end date of 2023 that seems fishy. That seems like a mid-term safety trial, not a long-term one. I’m sure the law says something to the effect of “close enough for government work.”
Nope. You’ve been propagandized, IF, and you’re confused because of it. Go look at what was “approved” back on Aug. 23, 2021. What was “approved” was a BLA for Comirnaty, which was then immediately declared unavailable. The “approval” letter has two footnotes explaining this (FN 8 and FN 9). Pfizer BNT162b2 was simultaneously declared to be “interchangeable” in the mirror letter that the FDA sent to Pfizer. That was the bait and switch over which I am suing. There is a provision for having “interchangeable” products under the Project BioShield Act of 2004 (the EUA statute), but Comirnaty’s own purple book listing says it has no interchangeable products. Look up the requirements for interchangeability under 42 USC 262.
The only vaccine available is Pfizer BNT162b2 and that clinical trial above doesn’t end until May 2023. That’s the same one that the cracked open the control group on, so it’s actually worthless as a “controlled” clinical trial because there is no control any more.
Brother, this is so much more corrupt than you can even imagine, and it’s right out in the open.
You’ve been fooled.
The continued gathering of data doesn’t even end with the BLA approval. The Pfizer BNT162b2 trial I linked you to states right on it that it’s the Phase 2/3 clinical trial. (They actually combined them as part of Operation Warp Speed.) There is a Phase 4 where data is gathered after BLA approval. Here’s the CDC’s own explanation of the process. https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/basics/test-approve.html
Normally, for most vaccines, the time to approval from start is about 10 years. They cut that to about 10 months, but it’s TOTALLY LEGIT becuz (THE) SCIENCE. Nothing to worry about from that mass of death and adverse events being reported in VAERS.
Once you understand that the FDA is a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer, it makes more sense. I know you’re new to this field, but that’s the reality. Read Marcia Angell’s book if you’re really interested in learning how pharma lies and manipulates and gives zero fucks about anything but selling drugs and biologics.
Ozy, I put that approval letter as a bookmark on my phone the day it came out so I could show it to anyone who wanted to argue that the jab “was approved now” – it was fucking unbelieveable what is in that letter and what was being reported on the news and repeated by asshole “doctors”. I am glad you are suing – godspeed to you and I am rooting for you.
I worked in a pharmacy for 5 years in highschool and college. My brother was a pharmacist. I learned not to trust pharmaceutical companies nor the FDA. And I also learned that the bell curve applies to doctors just like any other walk of life.
IF – Check the bookmark because the FDA pulled that letter down from the site and “updated” it with another one.
Fortunately, I have a copy of the original FDA letter and was able to submit it (and show the differences) in some of our filings.
My link is to a wordpress blog, not the FDA site. But I did not know the FDA updated the letter. Geez, they are just incompetent and unethical. If my link is good, it says the data collection must go thru 2027 which I had forgotten.
Normally, for most vaccines, the time to approval from start is about 10 years. They cut that to about 10 months, but it’s TOTALLY LEGIT becuz (THE) SCIENCE.
This is one aspect that I’ve seen dismissed, but never really fleshed out. Usually the Branch Covidian response is a dismissive “oh, that’s just bureaucratic delays and paperwork”.
OK, fine, let’s take that at face value. Now just because the delay is due to the red tape doesn’t mean that the delay only impacts the bureaucratic aspects of the endeavor. For it to make sense to cut it down to 10 months, there has to be no clinical benefit to waiting 10 years. One quick way to measure that would be to see how many failed pharmaceuticals exist where safety signals were discovered after the 10 month period. Methinks that number is pretty big.
trashy – that’s the whole point of the process: to allow time to tease out signals that suggest that the product/device/biologic might be causing second and third order consequences.
Those are two happy people in that article. Fauci gets to see his vaccination fantasies realized, and the Pfizer guy gets a fat pipeline of cash from the government straight into his bank account.
In the end I did a RT PCR test and it came back positive so I have the bug… Fucking antigen tests came negative. In the end I blame libertarians.
The only bad thing is that I visited my mother this weekend and stayed overnight… I hope I did not transmit something. I first got real symptoms during the night there.
Can you send her a test?
well that is pointless. For the PCR tests which actually work you need to go to a clinic. Home antigen tests are almost useless.
Ah, I didn’t know if any PCR test kits were available in your area.
Where did you get the idea that PCR tests actually work?
China told our US delegation of ambassadors that the only surefire Kung Flu test was the anal PCR swab…

I NEED A VAX STAT! I never knew the consequences of the Rona were so severe.
How are your symptoms?
Sunday I had fever up to 38 C. Since Monday I had no fever, normal temps. No sneezing, no runny nose, no lack of smell or taste. I have a sore throat for which I was taking antibiotics and which leads me to believe it is omicron. I cough a few times a day and it comes more from the throat than from the lungs, I cough when my throat gets dry.
I had that cough when I had the Alpha/Beta version. None of the other symptoms. I think it is cause I held off for 24 hrs (as I advice above) and settled to only having sex with my girlfriends 5 times that day..
7 minutes of sex in one day is impressive
Are you the guy that told me when one of your girlfriends asked you who your were going to satisfy with that little thing you looked her in the eyes and yelped “MYSELF!”? Or was that Tres?
Tres probably I don’t have girlfriends
I am annoyed because I was proud of never getting covid though I did everything I could legally do (and some things I could not legally do) and I liked my strong immune system being able to resist.
We’re all going to catch it at some point. There’s no avoiding it..
Sounds like your immune system is doing just fine, to me.
Huh. I always wondered how a virus could cause a plague of undeath. Now I know.
C’mon man!
The Rona started with bats. How could it not affect Pie and his fellow undead?
came back positive so I have the bug
Not unless you feel like you have the bug. And it could very well be another bug.
I think you have it backwards. PCR tests are useless, you have covid but are probably not contagious. The rapid tests are letting you know you are not a threat to anyone.

In addition, the CDC’s COVID-19 mortality data that covers 2021 attributes to the virus all deaths where COVID-19 was marked on the death certificate, regardless of whether it was listed as the underlying cause or as a contributing factor. Early in the pandemic, the CDC instructed medical practitioners to mark all deceased who had tested positive and even those presenting COVID-19-like symptoms, but who hadn’t been tested as deaths caused by COVID-19. Later in 2020, the guidance gradually changed. Untested cases were to be separated and COVID-19 was required to be at least a contributing factor to be listed on the death certificate.
In the second half of 2020, the last period with available death certificate data on this point, nearly 90 percent of deaths involving COVID-19 had the disease listed as the underlying cause of death rather than as a contributing factor.
Some experts have also pointed to government policies as a possible culprit in some excess deaths. School closures and business lockdowns have led to both financial and psychological depression, some research and anecdotal reports indicate, which may have led to death in some cases. However, suicide deaths have been relatively stable between 2019 and June 2021, based on available data.
SCIENCE!
” However, suicide deaths have been relatively stable between 2019 and June 2021, based on available data.”
That big jump in drug overdose deaths was strictly comprised of accidental deaths. Trust us.
^Yep, this

I know it’s standard usage, but I always twitch a little at the use of “defends” in sentences like this. Often, I’d prefer “attempts [or attempted] to defend.”
“Defends” seems to imply “successfully defends” in my mind, for some reason.
Yeah… “,Nonsensically prattles on with non sequitur responses” might have been more accurate. Maybe too wordy though.
When the reason is “,this medicine is not effective against Omicron and has side effects” and the next words out of your mouth are “so go get vaccinated and booster against the original strain”… Yeah, defended doesn’t cover it.
In the end I blame libertarians.
And rightfully so.

Stuff and nonsense
A year since a Reddit-driven retail trading frenzy rocked the markets and created the ‘meme stock’ phenomenon, leading U.S. lawmaker Nancy Pelosi’s investments have become a meme in their own right.
Google searches for ‘Pelosi stock trades’ hit a record high earlier this month as users on social media platforms including Twitter, Reddit, Youtube and TikTok scrutinize her investments, believing the U.S. Speaker of the House may have an edge on Wall Street.
——-
Last year, Pelosi filed transaction reports showing her husband, financier Paul Pelosi, made trades valued at as much as $5 million at a time in ‘Big Tech’ companies now facing an antitrust bill in Congress. Those companies are also among the most widely held across Wall Street, making investing in them relatively common.

Why is it easier to buy a gun than to cast a vote?
https://twitter.com/David_Leavitt/status/1486105556234424328
Are these people honest or trolling? I can never tell.
Is it even worth pointing out all the hoops you have to jump through to lawfully buy a gun even in the most permissive jurisdictions in the US?
The whole idea of “lawfully buying a gun” is disgusting to me, personally. There should be no legal restrictions whatever.
Honestly trolling. They really believe what they say
If you want to illegally buy a gun, it is easier than illegally voting – I think that is his complaint.
Really? Cuz you don’t even have to be alive to illegally vote. You’ve got to at least be swapping oxygen for CO2 to get a gun illegally.
I don’t think that was his point at all, but okay.
Anyone making that idiotic comparison isn’t making any point at all. Just advising the world of what kind of idiot they are.
Only a moron that has never bought a gun thinks it is easier to do than casting a vote. Of course, one should make the accommodation for team blue morons that think it is totes cool to cheat when voting and conversely think gun buying from some guy on the street with a trunk full of Saturday night specials is how that has to be done.
I challenge anyone who think it’s easier to buy a gun than to vote to go vote on election day, and then try to figure out how to guy a gun that day. However they like; go to a gun store, try to find an illegal gun on the street, whatever. Tell me how long it takes, how much paperwork or hassle they had to go through. Then honestly compare the two experiences.
But you can buy a gun 365 days a year, excepting Xmas Day maybe. A bought vote is only good 1 day a year.
‘honestly’
There’s your problem right there.
Maybe I’ll write an article about my experience on Election Day. I’ll start off voting in the morning, then go buy a gun. I’ll document the entire process and report.
It has never taken me more than ten or fifteen minutes to vote. As much as twenty if you include the walk to PS 170 and back.
Dishonest and/or ignorant.
Morning!
Wisconsin Assembly Sends Election Shockwaves by Voting to Withdraw 10 Biden Electors
Better late than never to show Democrats that election fraud will not be tolerated.
Maybe el Commandante Biden will be the first Banana Republic authoritarian removed from office via election annulment. The Democrats will be madder than when they lost Civil War 1.0
It’s a subcommittee of a committee. It won’t even get out of committee.
My recollection of the Constitution seems to be missing anything about election annulment.
It’s fun to be divorced from reality.
I thought it was funny. States withdrawing EC votes is only symbolic. Hopefully states dont certify their EC votes in the future until claims for Democrat election fraud are given Due Process in the courts.
Civil War 2.0 and impeachment are the only way to get rid of el Commandante Biden.

SJWednesday: We’re Going Old School Labor Theory of Value Today
If you can’t afford a Porsche, that’s your problem. If nobody can afford a Porsche, that’s Porsche’s problem.
There is no inherent value of labor. Otherwise there would be no difference between being a doctor and a ditchdigger.
I think we’re rapidly approaching the point where there isn’t a difference between those two, or at least between doctor and gravedigger.
Pretty cool that it is an even $15 across the board.
That’s the value of labor.
According to who?
Well, I saw the McDonald’s over by work is now offering $15 an hour. When I started my job 2 years ago it was $10, I was making just under $14…Now they are making $15 and I supposedly (hasn’t shown up on my pay stub yet) got a raise to just under $16. A lot more requirements for my job than working at McDonalds. This inflation is fucking wages all up.
#metoo
My niece in highschool makes that much. Sorry dude.
My daughter makes almost $21 at FedEx Freight, driving a forklift.
It’s almost as if under a normally functioning economy the prevailing wages in different areas match the cost of living and not some arbitrary number.
And as if demand for the job skills is higher or lower.
I don’t get the argument that employers can’t afford to pay $1,000/hr. That’s the value of labor.
Two can play this game.

Sure, and “launch an invasion of Russia by landing at Hong kong and going through all of China and Mongolia” is also an idea it is possible to have.

You got this story wrong. Biden didn’t lie. Biden didn’t do shit but shit his pants. The old media, the new social media, and the deep state colluded to censor those telling you what a scumbag Biden, the deep state, and the old and new media were, while lying about the annoying guy that won an election they thought they had rigged in favor of the spawn of Cthulhu that eats children and has the only cackle more frightening than Kamala. Blaming just Biden for the corrupt machine is a copout.
It’s easier to get rid of old man Biden than admit that the institutions are all malevolently marching us toward doom.

Costanza-Chock said the burden is on the Justice Department to prove the Pattern tool doesn’t have racist and sexist outcomes.

I’m bearish on Bitcoin, and I say that as someone who bought in a dip and bailed near its peak. It produces nothing. It’s an electronic currency that is/has been used as a speculative investment, is not used by anybody except the Dark Web and its lost half its value. It has outrun its course. It’s over, folks. Don’t expect it to hit $65k again.
So you’re basically predicting a shutoff of the money printer?
Not quite sure what you mean and thus, cannot concoct a witty riposte.
I read it as if they stop printing money at such ridiculous rates, the dollar might stop its freefall and that will hurt Bitcoin’s value.
*Spoiler Alert: They have no plans to stop.*

YOU’RE NOT MY MANAGER!
And they called it Meritocracy!
It’s not about the children
Youngkin then said the push for mask mandates was losing steam and called out teachers’ unions for their role in opposing his executive order.
“I think that many, many, many school systems absolutely wanted to stand up for parents, but again, there was this constant drumbeat from the education unions that consistently tried to work against parents’ rights,” he argued.
He added: “Let’s be real. Virginia was only one of 16 states that had a statewide mask requirement, and this whole sentiment is moving against the teachers, the teachers’ unions and teachers associations, and the left liberals.”
We can only hope.
My wife has something that’s really knocked her on her ass. Started on Sunday and is slowly getting better.
Little coughing and fever, mostly aching joints and no appetite or energy.
So far I’m fine, I haven’t told anyone at work because they are 100% on the covidiot wagon.
Sounds like the vid. Our experience was 1-2 days of not feeling great (chills, aches, sinus pressure, coughing) and a week or so of feeling “not quite back to normal”. We medicated with Ibuprofen/Aspirin and Sudafed to knock back some of the symptoms for those couple days. We supplemented with Cal-Mag-Zinc, B12, D3 and Quinine to boost the immune system.
Sounds like our family experience. Wife had all that for a week, I had it for 2-3 days and the teens for a day.
So far she’s on Nyquil/Dayquil and Zinc Quercetin.
Was better last night and after making my lunch this morning she started feeling bad again.

It produces nothing. It’s an electronic currency that is/has been used as a speculative investment
This.
It does produce something. It is a predictable (now fixed) supply of exchange tokens that are easily and securely transferred worldwide, outside of the control of government.
That is something of value.
Until the government(s) really digs its (their) fingers into it, which it is (they are) starting to do. Then it becomes as worthless as a euro in Kansas City.
Its WORTH right now is that it is outside government control, which is going to be untrue in a couple of years.
Government can’t easily control it. That’s the beauty of it.
My point is they can’t FOR THE TIME BEING.
On my taxes, last year I had to declare that I had traded cryptocurrency. Maybe it’s true that the only way they will be able to control it is to tax it as capital gains, or perhaps at a special “cryptocurrency rate”, but governments are scared to death of it and they will find a way to actually control it, even if they have to criminalize it.
I had a helluva time finding a brokerage that traded dogecoin to people in the US other than Robinhood (which I didn’t want to use). Can you imagine being unable to purchase it because the brokerages aren’t going to risk criminal charges to trade in the US? Whatever crypto you have is gone/frozen. You can’t legally use it as currency. You can’t buy it because no one will sell it to you.
I think their efforts are like the war on drugs but even more doomed to fail.
The one that made it impossible for legit pain sufferers to get painkillers legally and who go to the streets to get it or else suffer? That’ll increase its value, for sure.
I see what you’re saying. It sucks for any law abiding person.
But really the whole regulating bitcoin is gonna be like whac-a-mole. Just massive money to fail and turn more people into criminals.
Sure, and that’s why I think its time is over.
They can’t control it. What they want to do instead is create their own CBDC that they can control. That’s when the real pain begins.
On my taxes, last year I had to declare that I had traded cryptocurrency.
That was the beginning of the end.
Yes, I think it was you who gave me the heads-up on that, although TurboTax pushed the question.
I didn’t “trade” cryptocurrency. I bought some credits in an Indie game you probably haven’t heard of that happened to award me cryptocurrency.
If bitcoin were even tied to some sort of basket of commodities…
Neph/UCS. My work week just got slammed, wont be joining in your RPG escapade.

For the hundredth time… deaths with or deaths from?

The dark side has ruined her physically.
“Patriot Front and other white nationalists groups don’t randomly crash the March for Life’s party, write @RBraceySherman and @lizzwinstead
They show up because the rally’s message resonates with them. The dog whistle is coming from inside the house:”
No, they show up there because that’s where the government sends them.
White nationalist groups.
LOL.
They are so desperately trying to create a white nationalist movement from whole cloth.
Re-posting from above.
Glows brighter than the sun. Kinda sad and hilarious.
Plus… Talk about disparate impact, just look at numbers of aborted minority babies. One would think that the dog whistles to the racists would be on the other side of this one.
White-nationalists don’t want black babies killed. Seems legit.

Don’t read the comments.
I’m gonna read the comments.
Nice knowing ya’
I shouldn’t have read the coments.
I’m willing to compromise here and just not make people take them.
I want actual informed consent and the end of the blanket liability shield.
Mandates are a non-starter
Our Flag Means Death is loosely based on the true adventures of Stede Bonnet (Rhys Darby), a pampered aristocrat who abandons his life of privilege to become a pirate. The series also stars Academy Award winner Taika Waititi as Blackbeard, history’s most feared and revered pirate.
Blah blah blah racial disparities, take two
A panel of federal court judges has blocked Alabama’s new congressional map, drawn by Republican state lawmakers, from taking effect.
In an opinion released late Monday, the judges sided with plaintiffs, including the ACLU of Alabama and the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. (LDF), writing that under the map, “Black voters have less opportunity than other Alabamians to elect candidates of their choice to Congress.”
When crafting the maps last year, the GOP majority in the legislature drew just one majority Black district. But according to 2020 census state population counts, 27% of Alabama’s residents identify as Black. Therefore, the federal judges order that any map needs to include at least two Black-majority districts, “or something quite close to it.”
Because we all know the darkies should only be able to vote for their own kind. Anything else is slavery.
How many majority female districts do they need?
The racism is coming from inside the house.
Except that’s PACKING instead of CRACKING – and both are wrong per the SC. Good luck figuring out just how to navigate that passage.
I thought “packing” is SOP nowadays? That’s the one where you have to ensure each hue gets its own district(s), right?
If the SC says it’s wrong why is nobody throwing those maps out?
The rule is simple. You must do whatever it takes to maximize the chance the most Ds are elected.
It is a predictable (now fixed) supply of exchange tokens
Seriously? It seems as if a new variant pops up every day.
You’re confusing bitcoin with cryptocurrency as a whole.
This is the only attractive thing about all of this – the competition amongst the crypto currencies. It’s a long way from sorting itself out as to which is the most reliable.
I only trust Glibcoin.
The media is the enemy of the people, part 20 gazillion.
Well he should have gotten the shoe earlier duh….and that is the first comment. Fuck em.
Yes, this is “proof”. It’s just hard sciencing.
You’re confusing bitcoin with cryptocurrency as a whole.
I realize that. Which brings us to my next question: Is there an “exchange rate” between distinct species of cryptocurrency?
No. It has to go through the dollar first.
No it doesn’t. A lot of “shit coins” can only be exchanged with bitcoin or Ethereum.
Not on Coinbase, you can convert one to the other, directly.
Yes, but it keeps changing, just like any other currency.
I shouldn’t have read the coments.
That’s what they all say.

The 16-page complaint also alleges that the district has “willfully refused” to teach Black History Month, Hispanic/Latinx History Month or Asian History Month, that it invited police officers into the school without informing parents first and that it has failed to teach material to students written by nonwhite authors.
This statement alone is an indicator that this is a fucking shakedown and a power move. Skokie is probably one of the most diverse communities in the Chicago Area and suddenly out of no where, the school district has become this hotbed of racism.
Maybe because there is no such thing as Latinx outside the deranged minds of NPR.
Them dumb hicspanics better learn that the white SJW movement has decreed what they are and they will like it!
Where do I sign up? It sounds like maybe they’re focusing more on academics than on faddish identity politics.
Been really knocked on my ass for a couple of days. Don’t dare admit it IRL because of precautions. It’s not covid-like symptoms but holy hell I am fatigued. The problem with me is that I can never tell if I’m actually sick or just hungover-er. 🙂
Hydrate better.
And make sure you are getting enough sodium, potassium and magnesium.
No. It has to go through the dollar first.
That’s reassuring.
Would you really sell your house/Monet/Ferrari for bitcoin?
No, same as I wouldn’t buy an electric car right now. Just like electric cars, the infrastructure is too spotty for cryptos and the real life examples aren’t quite living up to the potential of the concept yet. As it is, a more traditional alternative is still a better option. That said, I have dipped a toe in the water of both (hybrid cars, small crypto purchases).
No, but I would pimp people for it…
Everything still has to be denominated in dollars. My house is valued at 2.357 bitcoins (not really). My house is valued at X dollars, which translates in to X bitcoins.
Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, tweeted Tuesday: “I will eat a happy meal on tv if McDonalds accepts Dogecoin.
My local Quizno’s has a sign saying it accepts Bitcoin.
I’m not saying yolo into crypto, but dismissing it outright and saying the USD is the only game in town is doing your wealth a disservice.
I have only put in beer money…no more than that.
Hillsdale College is starting a lecture series from their Academy of Science and Freedom.
From the Academy’s mission statement:
To combat the recent and widespread abuses of individual and academic freedom made in the name of science, Hillsdale College’s Academy for Science and Freedom will educate the American people about the free exchange of scientific ideas and the proper relationship between freedom and science in the pursuit of truth. Led by national and international scholars, its work will also serve to educate policymakers and the general public about important discoveries and ideas that might otherwise be ignored by scientific journals and corporate media. Through strategic alliances among scientific scholars and organizations, Hillsdale’s Academy for Science and Freedom will be a platform for free, reasoned, and civil discourse in scientific research and issues of public health and provide educational opportunities for citizens in general.
The first lecture is by Doctor Scott Atlas. The lecture is about an hour and a half.
I’ll give Hillsdale credit for fighting the machine.
Rebel News is covering the Canadian trucker convoy.
And no one else.
Damn. That’s pretty amazing.
Destroy it.
“I can confirm the aircraft impacted the flight deck during landing and subsequently fell to the water,” said Lieutenant Nicholas Lingo, spokesperson for the US Seventh Fleet.
“The US Navy is making recovery operations arrangements for the F-35C aircraft.”
Asked about an unsourced media report suggesting there were fears that the multimillion-dollar plane could fall into the hands of China, Lingo replied, referring to the People’s Republic of China:
“We cannot speculate on what the PRC’s intentions are on this matter.”
Their spies have probably already told them everything they need to know about the aircraft.
Hell, didn’t they supply some of the parts?
And by “spies” you mean the bought and paid-for bureaucrats and politicians in the US government.
Sure, you can speculate. Start with why *you* would recover an advanced weapon lost by one of your military rivals.
The CIA commissioned a ship for that very purpose – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glomar_Explorer
The 16-page complaint also alleges that the district has “willfully refused” to teach Black History Month, Hispanic/Latinx History Month or Asian History Month
Let me guess: this is based on the “Everything not Mandatory is Prohibited” interpretation.
Why are Latinos the only group that gets transexualized with an “x” at the end of their moniker? I like how they now throw the “Hispanic” before it as it’s been shown in every poll I’ve seen that Latinos fucking hate that shit and don’t use it.
I left my favorite cheap as hell frozen pizza off my Too Local article because it wasn’t listed as a national best seller.

Are they taxing unrealized gains?
They aren’t taxing it yet. They just asked if I had traded any. They’re testing the waters.
They aren’t taxing it yet.
Correct. They just want to make you a felon for lying about buying or selling crypto. Making of a double felon for tax evasion too is the second step.
Bingo.
In the pro column, it’s easier to flee the country with bags of crypto than with USD.
They aren’t taxing unrealized gains.
If you sell crypto, any gain is taxable. So there’s nothing taxable until you sell. Exchanges like coinbase will report your sales to the IRS.
However, even though there is nothing taxable until you sell, the IRS wants to know who is dabbling in crypto.
Everything still has to be denominated in dollars. My house is valued at 2.357 bitcoins (not really). My house is valued at X dollars, which translates in to X bitcoins.
My point is about the instability of cryptocurrency. If I sell my house today for crypto, I have no reasonable expectation the proceeds won’t fluctuate wildly in relation to dollars (or houses) in the short term. That makes it pretty much valueless to me.
But BLOCK CHAIN! Man!
Depends what you consider the baseline.
I think we are still on the gold standard, prices are pretty stable long term in relation to gold.
So, gold doesn’t fluctuate wildly vs the dollar, the dollar fluctuates wildly vs gold.

I am not, but will take that as a compliment, I guess.
“Nancy Pelosi to seek re-election”
She will be on the ballot mailed to me. The chances are high that she will be the only name on the ballot for Rep. Occasionally they allow some proggie dimwit to get on and get about 15% of the vote. There will be no debates, there won’t even really be a campaign of any sorts. I’m highly unlikely to see more than 1 or 2 signs up with her name on it even though I work in every neighborhood in the City.
Ranked choice voting FTW!
1) Nancy Pelosi
2) Nancy Pelosi
3) Nancy Pelosi
Democracy!!!
How the heck did I end up on the Hidden Valley Ranch email list?
Why does that even exist?
This is what I got.
Dude, are you gonna tell us where that place is or not?
Only if you know the secret handshake.
That’s worth all your personal data, right?
HVR makes me hurl.

I’m pretty happy with this. I used to get Cindy’s, but they priced themselves out of the market.
I think it’s any ranch.
I love their Caesar’s and a couple others I’ve tried. Bad oils, though, if the “bad oil” stuff is accurate..
You entered a contest?
Nothing recently. I also started getting “People” emails.
I am on Facebook as my author self. I do not have anything to do with Facebook as my real self or my business. However, FB has suddenly been showing me “people I may know” who are past clients of mine. We have zero friends in common, and these people were my clients YEARS ago. I am so creeped out.
This lead me here: https://mashable.com/article/people-you-may-know-facebook-creepy
I do not Facebook, as in never.
I’ve started using unique email addresses so I can find out who’s selling their mailing lists.
me too
One more before SF:
Your cultural institutions are evil. I do not separate things like this from the things serial killers do. These people will watch you and everyone you love drown in their own lung fluid. This evil. There is not another word for it.
I can’t come to any other conclusion.
*sigh*
Ammo prices are still wonky.
Bids on Gunbroker the same.
What am I supposed to impulse buy?
Primers?
That would really be an impulse buy, since I don’t reload.
Transformers Masterpiece
dollsaction figures? (That’s what I do)I’d totally get Soundwave first, if I was inclined to go that route.
I got soundwave…7th
I had Soundwave back in the day. Awesome Transformer.
Have you seen how much and how quickly out of production LEGO appreciate? Cloud City was introduced at $299, it’s now around $700.
https://www.amazon.com/Lego-Betrayal-Cloud-City-75222/dp/B07GYTVQCF
Is it up that high because it’s a StarWars tie-in or do any old lego kits draw in the big bucks?
Certain old sets bring in big bucks. Mainly because they were good sets and hard to find.
Some sets just bring in big bucks because of the theme tie-in and they are not made anymore.
If you dont have to have the original box, Legos are great because you can make an identical set you are looking for from other sets. Mainly because the pieces are interchangeable.
Always buy Legos on sale after Christmas and resell for ~30% markups.
