Not dead….yet.
I just found out the Man vs. Food guy was still alive. I seriously thought he was dead this entire time. The bad internet rumors suggesting he died of a heart attack obviously didn’t help.
Whatever, even if he had the best traveling food show on television, he’s dead to me.
Now for some hopefully real news…
Yes, a bad US Economy will do that to Mexico.
Interesting move, going against TEH GLOBALISTS!
Say what you want, nothing beats a good soccer brawl.

Honduras bans economic development.
A better version of a stupid song my kids keep singing.
rumors suggesting he died of a heart attack
Believable.
Very believable, he looks like he sweats Crisco.
Make of that what you will.
It’s Tuesday, we haven’t blown up in a nuclear holocaust so,

At least we still have Lou Reed, right?
I guess there is no need to be Sukhoi about it. The Migs are canceled.
The authorities of the Republic of Poland, after consultations between the President and the Government, are ready to deploy – immediately and free of charge – all their MIG-29 jets to the Ramstein Air Base and place them at the disposal of the Government of the United States of America.
At the same time, Poland requests the United States to provide us with used aircraft with corresponding operational capabilities. Poland is ready to immediately establish the conditions of purchase of the planes.
The Polish Government also requests other NATO Allies – owners of MIG-29 jets – to act in the same vein.
Headline suggest Poland out of kindness of heart give all their MiGs to US and station in Germany and bury we are supplying them with F-16s.
Global chess pieces are moving in ways I do not like.
Though I would laugh getting shot down by what is either a rank in Star Wars or the Purina AirForce
“what is either a rank in Star Wars or the Purina AirForce”
Pull yourself together, man!
Hey Tonio, I have something in Drafts, it just needs someone to give it a read-through.
THANK YOU! I’ll give it the old squinty-squint after dinner.
Yeah, they’re not “turning them over”, they’re trading them in for F-16s.
Well, of course Poland would turn MiGs over to the US. They are not capable of figuring out how to fly planes across a shared border.
Polish jokes here would be too easy.
I’m betting 50% of Poles are smarter, more educated, and more productive than 50 % of our useless parasites.
I mean, they are turning in planes they won’t be getting parts for, to get planes they can. And American taxpayers, and our progeny will be paying for them. The jokes are on us tax cattle.
Why would the US want a bunch of MIG-29 at Ramstein Air Base? I thought they were giving them to the Ukraine Air Force, but I guess that is a hot potato they are not wanting to drop on Russia, and they still get some sweet 16s while the US gets to rile up the Russians by supplying weapons to Ukraine. How does any of this make sense to the US?
Pull-a-Part, aircraft style?
The US government is absolutely intent on keeping Europe under its control.
And they’re willing to do whatever it takes, including bankrupting you to achieve it.

How Much Oil Does the U.S. Import From Russia and Why Is Biden Banning It?
For me this was the interesting tidbit.

The world is on fire. Energy independence is gone overnight. Gasoline is up to $7.something in parts of the country. Inflation is out of control. Supply of goods crippled. vaccine mandates. On and on, disaster after disaster. No more treaties in the Middle East. All happened five minutes after ‘America First’ tossed out by the leftist commie shitbirds when they took power…but that is only a coincidence.
Tell me why MAGA is so hated again?
Mean tweets. To be fair, they were like, really really super mean.
Be best kind of mean, and I know mean. Bigly mean.
Great, this means banning Russian crude will impact gas prices the most in Cali. Because our gas prices aren’t high enough already.
You may want to get out of there. Like 15 years ago. Too bad it’s not that easy anymore. Every place that is desirable is already being made completely unaffordable by hordes of other Calis trying to do the same thing.
once the kiddo goes off to college and my husband retires, we’re leaving. But where is definitely a problem.
Well, hopefully the real estate bubble burst before then. This crash is going to be incredible coupled with the fact that commercial real estate is going with it this time.
Yes, that’s what I thought was going to be interesting too. Here in NJ we refine lots of stuff hence all the NJ Turnpike jokes. My expectation is they will likely be able to replace the refining more quickly here than CA.
The state of CA would be energy independent if you could just run on “smug”.
CA would be energy independent* if they just drilled for the oil they have.
*Not sure, but I know they’ve got a fair amount.
Oh there’s plenty. There are active pump rigs 3 miles from my house (don’t know what, if anything, they actually produce) and there used to be a lot more of them decades ago. But of course new drilling of any kind is verboten in the People’s Republic.
They’ve never fracked and they’ve got a bigger play than the Bakken.
Can’t even explore offshore.
hence all the NJ Turnpike jokes

The open pit mining era ended in my area about 60 years ago. The red landscape blight soon changed to trees growing on the mountains of over burden. The pits filled with water and are now deep cold clear trout lakes. Mostly unfished because the locals are unfamiliar with deep water trout fishing. Divers frequent them and talk of the abandoned equipment in the extreme lake depths.
Nature has a way of recovery.
Strip mining was rampant where my dad’s people were from, SE Kansas. My gpa used to take me fishing in the “strip pits”.
“Strip Pits” would be a great name for a waxing salon. Or NASCAR team.

The Mexican government will have to revise its gross domestic product growth forecast for this year after the “not so favorable” performance of the country’s economy, a deputy governor of the central bank said on Monday.

“It’s a terrible dichotomy,” said Helen Yaffe, a Cuba expert and lecturer in economic and social history at the University of Glasgow in Scotland. “Cubans themselves are acutely aware, on the one hand, that they are the only country in Latin America and the Caribbean to have produced a Covid-19 vaccine. And at the same time, Cubans are struggling to get antibiotics, paracetamol and diabetes drugs.” (Paracetamol is known as acetaminophen in the U.S.)
Why do I suspect the Cuban Covid-19 vaccine is just a saline shot?
So it’s equally as effective and safer than our shots?
Not necessarily. Our shots might have negative efficacy. At least in terms of getting infected.
If they’ll barely do the research (and make the data available) to prove positive efficacy, why would they do it for negative efficacy? We’ve got stock prices to maintain you unhinged maniac!
Well ‘saline’ would indicate clean water with a small amount of salt, so no.
Cuban tap water has probably got other things in it.
Sorry to hear of the downsides, Suthen, just glad to see you are back.

“Pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson helped fund a 1960s prison experiment when a group of majority-black Pennsylvania prisoners were injected with asbestos to determine whether the substance was safe to use in talcum powder.
Documents confirming the company’s involvement were obtained by Bloomberg, tying the New Jersey-based company to controversial experiments led by Dr Albert Kligman, a University of Pennsylvania dermatologist whose human experiments have widely condemned as brutal and unethical. He died in 2010 aged 93.
Inmates at Holmesburg Prison in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, were offered $10 to $300 – equivalent to between $100 to $2,500 in today’s money when adjusted for inflation – to take part in the study – though they were likely unaware of the significant risk they were undertaking.
Participants were injected with asbestos and talc – a powder that forms the base of J&J’s iconic baby powder product. Asbestos is an extremely dangerous chemical that is tied to lung cancers, among other conditions.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-10590781/Pharma-giant-J-J-accused-testing-cancer-causing-asbestos-imprisoned-black-men.html
If they’d just found white prisoners they would have been in the clear.
All race, all the time.
The damage from asbestos comes from inhalation.
I would speculate that it shouldn’t be in your veins for the same reasons it shouldn’t be in your lungs. My understanding is that It contains fiberglass that makes it like breathing in microscopic razer blades.
I’ve honestly no idea how or if it is excreted when injected.
The damage to the lungs comes from the repeated scarring. Your body can’t expel it and it remains causing irritation and scarring. This is what can turn cancerous.
I would guess that it would have the same effect in the capillaries in the blood stream.
The claim sounds a bit suspect to me.
“My understanding is that It contains fiberglass that makes it like breathing in microscopic razer blades.”
Uh, no… The spar shaped asbestos types (amphiboles – Actinolite, Amosite, Anthophyllite, Crocidolite, Tremolite) do direct damage because of shape and not being dissolved (eventually) like the serpentine shaped chrysotile does.
They do cause more cancers than chrysotile, but the exact mechanism is not known.
/Former asbestos defense lawyer
I was always under the impression that mesothelioma had a genetic component. Everybody will eventually develop asbestosis after long term exposure, but not everyone was prone to mesothelioma.
Injected with talc? I’m wondering if the subjects turned majority-white during the experiment?
So, three out of four grandparents were black?
Meaning they used some white prisoners as well but it sounds racist if they phrase it they way they did to obscure that fact.
It’s not news if it can’t be racialized.
WTH? Why would anyone put asbestos in talcum powder?
Is this another attempted money grab like the ‘Our water catches fire because of fracking’ scam? Does it really have asbestos in it? That is easily objectively verifiable. why do we need ‘documents’ when all we need is a simple assay?
The specific geology of talc is an important indicator of whether a talc source may be contaminated with asbestos. These three mines all contained asbestos fibers; anthophyllite, and tremolite.11–18 The Val Chisone talc from Italy was studied by Pooley in 1972.1
it’s a natural contaminant.
Curse your speedy fingers!
Asbestos is a contaminant in/of talc deposits. I think they were seeing if the stuff found in the talc would be harmful. And they did it in an asshole way.
That’s my thinking too.
Heck asbestos fibers used to be used in cigarette filters.
It wasn’t a “choice” — most talc deposits are contaminated with asbestos, in varying degrees (and to complicate matters, a vertical deposit can be asbestos-free for significant distances and then have asbestos inclusions; if you’re not careful and you’re just grinding it all up as “talcum powder,” you’re gonna accidentally [or mebbe on purpose] mix asbestos with the talc). Same problem arose with vermiculite mining.
They should’ve done way more checking and analysis of their mined deposits before “refining,” but then everybody else was screwing up or covering up too. There’s a lot of that going around (see: COVID, Canadian truckers, Ukraine, etc.).
I used to do soapstone carving, and was exposed to some of the dust. Soapstone’s a type of talc, again contaminated with asbestos. Nothing bad so far (crosses fingers).
Injecting it? They’re using talcum powder wrong.
But take your vaccines, kids.
Well, looks like I am finally back. Had a bit of a health problem and then a serious family issue. Too bad for y’all, you still have to put up with me.

“A federal grand jury on Tuesday indicted the leader of the right-wing Proud Boys on a conspiracy charge stemming from the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, the Justice Department announced.
Enrique Tarrio, 38, was arrested in Miami on a charge of conspiring to obstruct an official proceeding, a felony that federal prosecutors have brought against hundreds of Capitol riot defendants and carries a maximum possible sentence of 20 years in prison.
Tarrio is being charged alongside five co-defendants affiliated with the Proud Boys who were all indicted early last year and have since pleaded not guilt to an effort to “stop delay and hinder the certification of the electoral college vote.”
Tarrio was not present on the day of the attack. He was arrested on Jan. 4 and ordered to stay away from D.C. after he was accused of burning a stolen flag from an African American church in December 2020.
But prosecutors alleged on Tuesday that Tarrio helped organize and rally the Proud Boys to travel to D.C. with the intent to obstruct Congress’s certification of the Electoral College votes that delivered President Biden his victory.
The indictment notes that on Jan. 5, Tarrio met with Stewart Rhodes, the leader of the far-right Oath Keepers group who has been arrested and charged with seditious conspiracy. During the riot, he continued to keep in touch with members of the Proud Boys, telling them they would be subject to “top down leadership.”

It’s the pandemic, stupid
As the world barrels into Year Three of the pandemic, Americans are entering a new phase of economic anxiety — an inescapable reality that shouts out at them in big bold numbers on countless signs dotting the nation’s roadsides.
Record gas prices are here, just as many people are mapping out summer road trips or returning to the office for the first time in two years. That could create a particularly sticky problem for policy makers as inflation soaks into the fabric of American life. Even though gas accounts for a relatively small portion of consumers’ overall spending, those prices reinforce a broader sense of gloom that could ultimately curb spending.
The average price for a gallon of regular gas on Monday hit $4.17 — an all-time high, breaking the previous record of $4.11 a gallon that had stood since July 2008. Prices were already elevated because of supply shortages before Russia invaded Ukraine two weeks ago, but prices have spiked as the oil industry has shunned Russian crude.
That sticker shock is hard, if not impossible, for most Americans to ignore. In the short term, at least, you can’t easily adjust how much gas you need to get by.
——-
“Sometimes people don’t really know why gas prices are rising, but this time people know that it’s because of this war,” Binder says. “The ban on Russian oil imports is important and just, and hopefully most people will see that it is worth the higher price at the pump.”
The gas price surge feels like the beginning of a grim third chapter in the pandemic era: 2020 brought the deadly virus; 2021 the devastating economic aftershocks; and 2022 marks the start of Europe’s largest ground war since WWII, which is compounding the pain wrought by the crises leading up to it.
And that reality will slap us all in the face every time we go for a drive.
Where do they find these fucking people?

As soon as I heard it called that on my local news, I wanted to reach through the screen, shake the news reader by the lapels, and ask him who dubbed it that.

The price of nickel is surging as investors take stock of the new global reality: Russia, a key supplier of the metal, is now facing extensive sanctions following its invasion of Ukraine.
In an unusual step, the London Metal Exchange suspended nickel trading on Tuesday morning after three-month contract prices more than doubled to over $100,000 per ton.
Nickel is a critical ingredient in the lithium-ion battery cells used in most electric vehicles sold in – and planned for – the U.S. market. Its abrupt price surge has analysts and investors raising hard questions about automakers’ ambitious electric-vehicle programs.
We’ll just get the nickel we need from the magic hat.

It’s a little unclear to me why all these leftists are being so defensive about rising gas prices. I thought one of the open goals of stopping fracking, etc. was to drive up gas prices in order to cut back private vehicle use for environmental reasons.
If there is a third rail of economics in the US, it’s gas prices.
The Dems are about to get a reminder about that.
Their brains are melting from the realization that it will fuck them in the next election.
They are doing what they can. SCOTUS refused to hear a challenge to PA and NC Republicans who will suffer due to their states’ Supreme Court (controlled by Dems) imposing congressional maps on the 2022 elections. PA GOP predicts loss of two or three seats, NC at least one. NY’s new map looks to flip 3 GOP seats. Will need a Red tidal wave to get back the House.
NY’s at least is blatantly illegal (the Dems dismissed the required “non-partisan” commission and drew the map themselves) and is being challenged.
They are getting what they want. They just don’t want to be blamed for it.

I am drinking a mezcal negroni (though I need an orange to properly garnish it).
I can’t believe it has taken me this long to “discover” these.
Negroni posse: do yourself a favor and try one.
Have you tried a Manhattan with Campari instead of sweet vermouth? I’m gonna have to pick up a bottle of it.
I have not!
I’ll have to try that next Manhattan.

I’ve had those out – uncertain if they used the simple syrup in the ones I’ve had.
“LGBTQ activists host ‘non-binary’ sex ed summer camp for children
Elementary-aged children at the “non-binary” sex education summer camp will witness a condom demonstration as part of the week-long event’s activities.
A summer camp in Indianapolis, Indiana, devoted to sex education for third-grade through fifth-grade children is organized by an “inclusive sexuality educator” who advocates for minors to “explore” condom usage, “kinks,” and pornography.
The sex education-themed event set to take place from June 6 – 10 at Half Liter BBQ & Beer Hall is billed as an exclusive summer camp for students in third grade through fifth grade, according to the password-protected Eventbrite page.
According to the event flyer, the summer camp is further described as “Affirming, non-binary, body-positive, social emotional learning through play.””

I knew the private market would step in after Florida banned the gay.
Did they ban it? The articles just says it passed the Legislature.
The name is completely misleading of course. The bill takes teaching about transblabbidyblah brainwashing gibberish out of K-3 classrooms.

Btw, good to see you back. Was fearing the worst since you usually don’t disappear due to pleasant weather and a run of good fortune.
Thank you Sir. Actually things did turn out for the best in the end.
An interesting take.
eugyppius: Ukraine and the Global American Empire

Does Zelensky just own military tshirts? It’s been just barely above freezing during the day in Kiev, he’s not wearing something warmer? Because it looks to me like he’s trying to create some trademark image like Steve Jobs and his turtlenecks. And it’s phony as shit.
He’s totally full of shit. A couple of pictures with body armor and every boomercon fuckwit and lefty shitbrain has to go change their panties.
I’m done. Launch the fucking missiles already.
So shit is really starting to hit the fan. What are we to do?
Duck and cover, kid. Duck. And. Cover.
Duh. Start doing business with Russia. That will turn it into a liberal democracy.
Hey, it worked with China. I don’t see it wouldn’t work with Russia.
Russia and Ukraine should have had a free trade deal…
There you go.

Is this the commercial society in action?
“The NY Governor is attempting to use emergency powers to bypass the legislature with an executive order that would allow her to detain suspected public health threats and isolate them without trial or due process in health care facilities.”
I won’t be surprised is this effort is successful given what they have gotten away with already.
YT just threw this up for me:

Excellent form.
Thank you, amigo!

Wasn’t globalization supposed to stop this? And why are the globalists enthusiastically embracing this?
Uh, because the globalists want fewer than a billion people on the planet?
They are neo-Malthusians, Winston
I was trying to be snarky. Bandow is one of those “free trade will liberate the world” types.
Because culture is tenacious as hell and most of those cultures are shit? Wait, I forgot, all cultures are equal and love them some western style freedom.
This is what gets missed in a lot of this, mostly by conservatives, but others too.
They don’t want the same things we do. They hate those things. When you try to reason with them, they cannot see past Malthus, Marx, and Rousseau. That there are too many of us, that we should be directed at all times by government, and in our natural state we are one big sing-a-long. All of which is bullshit. Man is red in tooth and claw, we need to keep growing or we die, and there are no top-down solutions. It’s why all of the things they think will work so well turn to shit in the end. They are all based on discredited theories.

Well there is a globalist consensus on lockdowns something that FEE today is quite happy about. Also why was it assumed that this consensus would be permanent? And isn’t it rather questionable to put total faith in the elites and hope they’ll do the right thing? And isn’t consensus rather collectivist for a supposedly libertarian entity?
