U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan on Monday raised concerns with Chinese diplomat Yang Jiechi about China’s alignment with Russia as Washington warned of the economic penalties and global isolation that Beijing would face if it helps Moscow in its invasion of Ukraine.
Economic penalties. Sure.
Right. We’re like Siamese twins.
We would probably go into deep recession/crash – they would risk heading to starvation.
The consequences of a recession or crash for politicians in the US are greater than the consequences China’s leaders would face with mass starvation.

U.S. raises concerns about China aligning with Russia
Ya think? You have been pushing them into the arms of the CCP.
Uh, they probably are already aligned. Russia wouldn’t pull troops from their border with China unless they had some kind of arrangement with them. Whether China sticks to that arrangement if Russia is bogged down in Ukraine is a different matter.

Not surprising about the banks. All of those Russian oligarchs and corrupt Ukrainians won’t be putting their money in the Swiss banks for the foreseeable future.

Priorities, man
Sen. Joe Manchin says he’s opposed to the nomination of Sarah Bloom Raskin for a top regulatory post at the Federal Reserve, likely spelling defeat for her confirmation in the closely-divided Senate.
Manchin, D-W.Va., says he wants the Fed to focus on what he calls the most pressing issues — rising inflation and energy costs — and he’s not convinced that Raskin shares those priorities.
Raskin, a former member of the Fed’s governing board who also served in the Treasury Department, has sparked strong Republican opposition after arguing that financial regulators should pay more attention to the risks associated with climate change.
He should say she’s not black enough.
None of Biden’s nominees share the priorities that are supposed to be inherent to the positions they’re nominated for.

*MASS NARROWED GAZE*
In my last sled hockey article, I mentioned Jen Lee, and a lot of you thought he was cool. He’s become a bit of a superstar with his 1.000 save percentage in the Paralympics.
Here’s a deep dive into why women sled hockey players aren’t in the Paralympics.
OK, this is a horrible question and I should know it, but to compete in official sled hockey do you need to have troubles with your legs (as well as being a dude?)
Hopefully to make myself not seem like such a jackass, let me give you some background. A long time ago my employer gave generously to the Courage Center and in return got to use the gym for company basketball games at night. When we’d show up, the group ahead of us were playing wheelchair hoops. When they were done half of them got up and walked off. Their legs worked OK, but they liked playing hoops with their buddies so they learned to play the wheelchair version.
Do you have guys like that?
* Please don’t get mad if I said something way offensive. I don’t mean to be. My words not so good sometimes.
Absolutely none of that was offensive. So one at a time:
At the Paralympic level, you do have to have a disability, and it has to be verified by an official Paralympic doctor. I know of one player with no legs who still had to travel to Sweden to get his disability verified.
At the club level, you can have up to 3 able bodied players in a game but the goalie must be disabled. We usually take a few able bodies with us to tournaments, right now we’re playing short so our three coaches are in sleds. We’ve had interns from the hospital check out our practices, and they decided to play because it is fun. Just this weekend we did an event where some medical staff got into sleds and we had a big scrimmage. Anyone is allowed to come get in a sled at practice. Mrs. TOK has even tried, and she’d join the team but we practice too late for her taste.
As for women, that article is long but the gist is, Paralympic teams are allowed to have one additional player if she is a woman, but none of them do. But there aren’t enough women’s teams in the world to compete, partly because “hey women are allowed to play!” But at the club level, it’s 100% coed and most teams have at least one woman.
Well since you didn’t form up a mob to come get me for my previous insensitivity….
Couldn’t he have simply mailed his legs (in a jar of formaldehyde) to the doc? I don’t know why he had to go.
I don’t know whether tolaugh or strangle you.
OK, all together now – “Why not both?”
You get more of what you reward …
Did I miss the part about men having more upper-body strength than women?

Biden welcomes Ukraine refugees
Nah, their hair smells really nice.
Surely, we have room for some hot Ukrainian refugee women?
No they’re white and some form of Christian. Biden would welcome them because he’s a racist.
Opponents worry that her views on climate change could discourage banks from lending money to fossil fuel companies, although Raskin insisted during her confirmation hearing that it’s up to banks to decide which loans to make, not the Federal Reserve.

She seems intelligent.
If by intelligent, you mean an establishment cunt that is absolutely guilty of the type of shilling that she’s baselessly accusing others of and is gleefully making money off of poking a bear that could cause a nuclear without a nano-second’s thought about the ramifications and that the people who are actually dangerous and should be investigated are the ones that feed her talking points and put her stupid fat mug in front of a camera, then yes….intelligent.
Is she intelligent enough not to write a run-on sentence?
I feel that the run-on sentences contribute to the unhinged rant vibe I’m going for. Still no where near as unhinged as Anna Navarro.

.@MittRomney, you have called me a ‘treasonous liar’ for stating the fact that “there are 25+ US-funded biolabs in Ukraine which if breached would release & spread deadly pathogens to US/world” and therefore must be secured in order to prevent new pandemics. Bizarrely, …
… you claim that securing these labs (or even calling for securing these labs) is treasonous and will lead to a loss of life, when the exact opposite is obviously true. The spread of pathogens is what will cause the loss of life, not the prevention of such spread.
Senator Romney, please provide evidence that what I said is untrue and treasonous. If you cannot, you should do the honorable thing: apologize and resign from the Senate.
Evidence of the existence of such biolabs, their vulnerability, and thus the need to take immediate action to secure them is beyond dispute:
“…apologize and resign from the Senate.”

People are coming up with the best Pay-Per-View ideas here today.
One thing that has always bothered me about that photo is the positioning of the guys on either side of the “sepuk-ee.” First, the dude with the mercy blade doesn’t look like he could get enough of a wind-up to do his job properly, and the other two guys flanking are risking a nasty cut.
Nah, the three witnesses are safe (assuming a competent swordsman). But the swordsman is in a funny spot for the coup de grace.
If I recall my Japanese swordsmanship, to make the swing correctly the swordsman will start with is left foot forward, and will step back with his left foot as he swings (which generates the power). You don’t need a big wind-up. He should be more next to the guy, not behind him, with some room to take the step.
Right, that’s what I was getting at. The scene is too compressed to be real, it seems.
Illustrated training video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sX7TjOCvZQQ
to be faaaaaihhhhr… Tulsi is not really on point here. The Russians have a means to biological warfare already. Thus, what she is suggesting is akin to the US entering the war. I wonder if I could find a similar bite from Lindsay Graham…
Still.. Romney is an idiot…
I’m going to side with Tulsi here. It’s the optics of funding potentially dangerous bio research right next to the border of a country you are constantly hostile towards. How would we react if they had similar labs in Cuba and we didn’t know what they were doing? It would be pretty naive to assume they’re not up to anything. Of all the places we could do bio-research, why there? There aren’t a million other places where we could accomplish the same research without looking like a threat? Especially in light of the fact that there’s still a bit of an unresolved and uninvestigated issue where some of the research we were funding may have somehow escaped and crippled the world’s economy for the last two years. Any reasonable government would see this as a potential act of aggression.
It’s quite likely that the US was simply funding make-work projects to keep former Soviet bioweapons scientists employed in ways other than weapons development. This was also done with the Russian nuclear and space industries. The US ended up, under the Nunn-Lugar paradigm, paying tons of money to keep those industries going so that the technical experts wouldn’t be recruited by various bad actors worldwide.
Where this all goes wrong is when, instead of allowing those enterprises to wither via retirement attrition, they end up hiring new people and perpetuating their knowledge. This is a horrible example of how well-intentioned efforts by governments can go badly wrong and end up making the problems they try to fix worse than ever.
Not sure I buy the “well-intentioned” aspects of these projects. The idea that our good intentions give us a near monopoly on controlling the funding of most of the best scientific minds in the world and it keeps the world safe from them falling into the hands of bad political actors (like say…the largest and most dominant empire the world has ever known) sure sounds like propaganda to me. We’re just trying to keep people safe, all that power and uncontested dominance in the scientific space is really a secondary, unintended benefit. Even calling it a benefit seems to sully our real altruism.

Still more intelligent than Harris’s explanation of the war.
Truf. But does she give BJ’s good enough to get her up to VP of the USA? Only time will tell.
Freedom fighters
“We need to be honest with the American people — the battle for freedom has its costs here at home, as well,” Biden said at the Democratic National Committee’s winter meeting last week. “People [are] already feeling Putin’s price hikes at the pump. I think the American people know how important this fight is. I think they know that as painful as the price is today, the costs are going to be higher if we do not act now to deal with this tyrant.”
Vice President Harris echoed that Friday in a news conference in Bucharest, Romania.
“[T]here is a price to pay for democracy,” Harris said. “Got to stand with your friends. And as everybody knows, even in your personal life, being loyal to those friendships based on common principles and values, sometimes it’s difficult. Often, it ain’t easy. But that’s what the friendship is about, based on shared values. So that’s what we’re doing.”
Freedom isn’t free, y’all. The very thought of that doddering cretin calling somebody else a tyrant spikes my blood pressure.
Wow, he’s really going all in on blaming Putin for everything that happened a year before the invasion. What gets my blood pressure up is that more than anything right now we need people at the top to be accountable, but here’s this ass blaming everybody else for all the problems he causes.

Maybe the US government should try coming clean about what has been going on in those biolabs. Unfortunately biolab is a rather elastic term like “sexual assault”. Whereas sexual assault these days can mean anything from an awkward kiss after a bad date to full on gang rape, biolab can mean anything from the kind of lab you’d find at nearly any university to a full on weapons lab. If it’s closer to the former, then it’s no big deal. But when I hear Nuland say we are worried about the Russians getting their hands on material from the lab, and when I see how US laws were circumvented to fund gain of function research in Wuhan, I get a little suspicious. By the way, where is Fauci these days?
COVID is old and busted. He’s switching to the new hotness.
https://imgflip.com/i/68lr3z
Hmmm, I wonder what could possibly interest the Russians, who are so infamously cagey when it comes to non-proliferation of unconventional weapons, in biolabs we’re financing in Ukraine? You know, those Russians, who had their own bioweapons programs for decades, and continue to have them?
The US funding for those labs came from the DoD (or so it has been reported and not, as far as I know, denied). That certainly points in one direction, and not the benign one.
The fact that these labs are in Ukraine also points in the non-benign direction.
The lying by US officials is harder to read – they do it so reflexively, it doesn’t necessarily mean they are trying to hide anything. But that’s probably the way to bet.
Nobody’s more pissed at Putin than Fauci right now. That was HIS spotlight.

Those generic food containers looks like my mothers pantry when I was a child, with the exception of big blocks of government glue. I mean, cheese.
When I was 16, I worked the whole summer at a YMCA camp kitchen. After the summer was over, a friend and I stole a 20 lb. block of government cheese from the kitchen and took it with us on a canoe trip to the Boundary Waters. We got so sick of portaging it all over that we would try to offer chunks of it to other canoers on the portage. Nobody took us up on our warm sweating block of cheese.
We left the rest deep in the woods. I’m sure there was a really constipated bear at Tin Can Mike Lake for a while.
‘warm sweating block of cheese’ is a combination of words I did not expect to see today.

Get your shocked faces ready. Turns out that the soooper racist high school in Minnesoda might not be that racist after all. Independent investigators cannot find any proof that a visiting girls basketball team was subjected to racist taunts.
New Prauge is also accused of having its hockey team hurl racial insults at another suburb. Of course, racial insults being so horrible, no journalo has ever written exactly what was said, which makes it tough to know for sure how horrible the New Prauge kids were.

“The findings of this investigation neither negate the lived experiences of Robbinsdale Cooper student-athletes and staff, nor does it absolve New Prague Area Schools of its responsibility to create a culture that does not tolerate inappropriate behavior,”
It does, however, create a moral imperative to call the people who made the false allegations evil, and name them.
And it negates the so-called “experience” of Robbinsdale Cooper students being subjected to racist taunts.
“If it’s not explicitly caught on film it didn’t happen” is a bit of a stretch. That there is no incontrovertible audio/video evidence doesn’t mean it didn’t happen or that anyone made ‘false allegations’. Sure it comes down to he said/she said, and you can jump on what ever bandwagon you want but nothing is “proven” either way.
However, given the record of absense of such events and the prevalence of claims being hoaxes, sans such evidence, I doubt the assertion. Probability just lands that way at this point.
Doubt is fine, Teds is making blanket accusations, without evidence, he’s committing the same crime he is accusing others of making.
I see you’re firmly on the guilty until proven innocent team. No, they made accusations without proof and at this point these lying racists don’t deserve the benefit of the doubt because they’ve abused that repeatedly.
“Guilty until proven innocent… nah, not even then.”

Tulip, I watched that “One Child Nation” documentary on China last night. You’re right; it was horrific.
What didn’t surprise me was that China forced sterilizations and abortions when the policy was in place. What did surprise me is that once China figured out it could make money adopting abandoned children abroad, they kidnapped children to fill the demand. That is sick.
Also noteworthy were the varied feelings today of the people who participated in enforcement or who were affected by it back then. Some were clearly remorseful, like the midwife who’d aborted thousands of babies. Some had no regrets at all and still would do it again. Most did the “just following orders”routine.
The places the filmmaker visited looked so desperately poor, even now.
A Chinese woman worked for my dad in the 1980s-1990s as an engineer. She had one daughter, then while she was recovering in the hospital, her husband signed the paperwork to have her sterilized. She only found out after she woke up. She managed to defect to the US during a ping-pong tournament.
She confided in my dad, and he agreed to sponsor her then five year old daughter to come to the US. Took some doing, but she got her. She was so indoctrinated that she hated her mother and basically repeated propaganda constantly. But very soon she saw the reality of America and got to become a normal little girl. She’s a successful doctor now.
He better have given him actual treats after that.
Ahem.
For those of you interested in the US biological and chemical weapons programs in the lower 48:

My old test site was right next to Granite Peak.
I also used to work at Aberdeen Proving Ground, also mentioned in the article I linked. I didn’t work down at Edgewood, but I did notice that there are “chemical sniffers” mounted on poles throughout the town of Aberdeen proper. They look a lot like cell towers but are much closer to the ground.
Aberdeen (Edgewood) happened to be working on a mobile chemical weapons disposal lab, packaged into 2 standard shipping containers, when Syria’s chemical weapons were seized in 2013-2014. So the disposal system was shipped to Italy and set up there to receive the seized weapons and neutralize them. The mission to build the disposal system and destroy the weapons was successful.
