I opted to get up early today. You will reap the benefits of my benevolence if you’re also an early riser.
Second (Wembley) verse, same as the first.
Liverpool won the FA Cup to pull off the domestic double. Man City almost dragged them back into the EPL race, but got their shit together in the second half to manage a draw and come close to locking it up. It was a crazy game though. More craziness will ensue this week and on Sunday as the season finishes up for everybody in England…except Liverpool. Since, you know, they made the UCL finals and City didn’t. On this side of the pond, the Astros got back to their winning ways after dropping one Saturday. The Pens are out of the playoffs in round 1. Sadly, it means the Rangers get to advance. Calgary won as well. Ans if Round 2 is anything like the opening set of matchups, we’re in for a doozy. This has been the best opening playoff round I can remember. And that’s sports.
It ain’t just pizza. (Not that that slop they sell at Dominos and Pizza Hut should count as pizza, but that’s a different topic for a different time.) It’s all entry-level positions where young people can earn a few extra bucks for their college or to buy a car or for whatever other reason they want. Well, this is the consequence of telling people they should sit on their ass for two years while the government gives them free shit. Sadly, we have to wallow in it.
Shady as fuck coup plotter
The Sussmann trial begins today. If you want to be disappointed in the system, then tune in. Because knowing what the real crimes were and how they’re not being prosecuted should get you irritated, to say the least.
Pennsylvania’s Senate race is a case study in weirdness. From head-scratching endorsements of celebrity jackasses to a meteoric rise of an unknown to a dude on the other side announcing he was recovering from a stroke (which his campaign had hidden from the public for a while). It’s a shitshow to say the least.
And speaking of strokes. You know, in a civilized country where elected officials cared about their constituents, this guy would resign so that someone capable could represent the state until the upcoming election. But I assure you this guy will hang on, will likely get reelected, and will do a shit job of being engaged.
Thanks, teachers unions.
And here is the biggest crime of the pandemic. All those shitheads who supported lockdowns and keeping kids out of school for more than a year (yes, I’m looking at you Randi Weingarten) should be strung up for the crows.
The same fate should befall this guy. He’s desecrating the greatness that is the jamocha shake. He needs to pay.
This is the graft Chicago has been missing for a while. Sure, the alderman have managed their little kingdoms, but this is the brass ring of taxpayer money. And I can assure you those cretins are gonna steal every penny of it they can.
What a jerk. No wait…what a dick! Or is it “what, a dick?” or “What? A dick!” How is this a misdemeanor, btw?
Good! We need to treat children with mental illness, not aid them in self-mutilation. They can do that when they’re an adult.
Here’s a nice, upbeat song. I hope you enjoy it. Same for this one. I assume some of you were expecting the follow-up. Well, there it is.

You want to come to the Cleveland suburbs? Bit strange… but alright.
One day…
No more yankie my wankie. The Donger need food.
Morning.
::tips cap::
Dangnabbit — relative to my time zone, I am an early riser (not as much for EST, granted). Just didn’t think to bother checking the links until the usual time. Morning anyway, Sloopy.
Morning Sloopy,
The lady candidate in PA has boasted about her military experiences but a quick look at her released DD214 (Military records) indicates she had only 90 days active duty. That’s like basic training , hardly worth mentioning. I spent more time in detention in high school.
From what I’ve read, she had a fairly basic military training and then was a reservist or guardsman for a period of time. Touting it as extraordinary is foolish.
She needs to just start posting Oz’s myriad tv appearances where he espouses retarded progressive views over and over and over.
In my honest opinion, her rise has been too fast and too late in the game for her to make a coherent strategy that could be decent. So she’s got to go hard after the active base. Not sure how it will sell in a general election should she get the nomination. It will be interesting if that’s the case.
Yep. DD-214 is only for active duty service exceeding 30? days. I have 6 DD-214s, 1 for regular army, 5 for active duty reserves.
She only needs two DD’s for me to vote for her!
(Q will work the phone banks for her too)
She seems to be generating an awful lot of hate. Not my election, but a number of people seem to be quite passionate about it.
How many of those people are from the political class?
Nothing pisses them off so much as an outsider budding in line. They’ve spent decades kissing ass and weaseling around the System. It is their fucking turn!!!
I have a buddy who has climbed very far up the political rungs here in Minnesoda. He’s an very personable and easy going guy, but he gets bent out of shape by the challenges to the System. The internet has changed a lot in politics too. These outsiders can do pretty well getting their messaging out and raising money. No need to join a Team and slave away for a decade before they let you run for something.
I tease him and tell him he is just like the record industry execs who got pissed when their apple cart got tipped over.
Former reservist can confirm, but at least it gets me a 10% discount at Home Depot.
Lowes is also friendly in extending discounts to non-retired veterans. It’s not like the 70s when half of all males were veterans.
Lowes requires one to go through the “ID.ME” or something. According to the VA rules, with my 10 years as an active reservist, and 2 years IRR, I am a veteran, but it seems they cannot find my records when I try to sign up. Texas is happy to put veteran on my DL and LCH with a DD214 and that works most places.
I have a non-expiring Virginia veteran ID. Virginia finally added veteran status for drivers licenses. That should be enough, but like so much bureaucracy, I always end up reverifying something that another government agency has already verified.
I love, love, love that Sally Beauty Supply gives a 15% discount for veterans or active duty.
I know paperwork is important, but she was an inter military administrator.
He wore my reserve command’s shoulder patch upside down in that film.
All these strokes, particularly among the Dem faithful, what could possibly be causing them?
They need a booster anti-stroke vaccine. OTOH, they may have just got gas and noticed the price.
I thought they all had electric cars
I’m kinda pissed at myself that I didn’t stay on theme and play this song today.
Perfect
I knew it before I even clicked on it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JS2r5Oi82LY
That was the theme song on the Friday night bus to the Wanamingo roller skating rink.
Fuck I’m old.
Clarence Carter has a sad.
They want to be as feeble as Uncle Joe?
Driver shortages also could become a vicious cycle, noted Cowen restaurant analyst Andrew Charles.
“Drivers take the job because they want to make tips. If there’s less deliveries to make .. that hurts in trying to get delivery drivers,” he said. “I don’t think this is a very easy solve.”
I wonder if they ever get around to mentioning the price of gasoline, in their “analysis” of market conditions.
“I’m taking the summer off before I start college in the fall”
“I’m baby-sitting my siblings so my Mom can work”
” Hell no, I’m not delivering in some of the neighborhoods”
“You ever tried delivery while riding the bus?”
There are a lot of explanations, free money, etc that can explain the problem
Having a broken woke entitled douchebagerry filled mind, is not the right way to go through life.
Isn’t it more lucrative to work for DoorDash?
All these strokes, particularly among the Dem faithful, what could possibly be causing them?
Old age?
“ An Arby’s manager allegedly urinated in the milkshake mix at the fast-food eatery for his own “sexual gratification” on at least two occasions, cops said.”
Was that wrong? Should I not have done that?
Who urinates for sexual gratification, aside from Germans? And even those filthy Krauts have the decency to piss on somebody’s face.
Anybody with an enlarged prostate?
Not really sexual, but definitely gratifying.
Well, where he’s going I don’t think he’ll be getting much gratification. Unless he enjoys being a pincushion.
DAAAANNNNGGG!
Happiness is an empty bladder.
As long as it’s accompanied by dry underpants.
Well, they advertise, “We got the meats”. It’s right there, up front.
But why piss? I get some asshat wanking off in the chocolate shake, but piss?
One guy, many cups?
If pissing gives you a boner, you are sort of screwed. You can’t aim your boner pisser at the toilet, so you have to go for other targets of opportunity.
I’m guessing that the milkshake machine was up on the counter where it was a perfect target for his parabolic stream of piss.
It’s possible to desecrate “food” from Arby’s?
I hear the meat is trimmed from Rosie O’Donnell’s ballsack.
“I’ll have a Jamocha shake, a large order of curly fries, and a medium Hope Solo with extra cheese sauce. Thanks”
I would have thought the Hope Solo would be the drink.
I heard that the fish sandwich is good, surprisingly.
Obviously, a training issue.
Damn right it’s better than yours

Thank you for your service. I wanted someone else to go first.
The girlfriend went and saw it with a small group, she liked it. But she also likes Nickleback, the Thor movies, and me, so her taste is definitely questionable.
I took the day off after a brutal camping trip. Was thinking about seeing it. I think I’ll just go peruse Duluth Trading Company and clean the garage instead.
I liked it. I also liked the Thor movies. It’s not Marvel’s best, but better than what they have put out lately. I’m a sucker for Sam Raimi movies with Bruce Campbell cameo.

Gibbs is hoping a tech acquisition will help improve the situation.
Last year, the company completed its purchase of Dragontail, which has an AI-enabled platform designed to make restaurant operations more efficient, including reducing disruptions due to driver shortages. The brand is piloting the platform in more than 100 of its thousands of US stores to try to upgrade the delivery network.
Right. You could also hire some witches to cast a spell on your business.
Draggin’ tail?
At the end of the day the supply chain is just people taking stuff from one location to another.
Just like ‘shopping’ at an SF Walgreen’s. Liberating the supply chain.
Anyone want to bet that the notion that $15/hour minimum wage might be a factor?
In a previous life, I spent lots of time adding sensors to all sorts of things in QSR’s (Quick Serve Restaurants). The sensor data was collected and dashboards were created. It was pretty cool.
When I was starting the QSR owners would tell you they didn’t need that shit. The old way of hiring a bunch of kids and hoping a few of them might actually stop grab-assing long enough to do a bit of work was doing just fine.
Then minimum wages started rising. And rising. Every time they rose more QSR owners/managers started calling. Now they wanted to get an alert when the fryer hadn’t been filtered.
That statement that they bought an entire company that is peddling AI snake oil is amazing. If you could hire kids for a reasonable rate that wouldn’t be necessary.
The other aspects of this are:
1) Lots of kids won’t get that first job as teenagers and at least start learning how employment works. Show up on time, deal with moron bosses, etc.
2) The kids who do get jobs will learn early that Big Brother is always watching. Fuckers won’t bat an eye when they discover that the spy agencies have been hoovering up their personal data.
Even the army only needs a few good men, err people
1) at this point, not-insignificant portions of our culture see employment of teenagers as child abuse. They cheer this crap on.
2) most kids have an iPhone at 10. It’s engrained in them early and often.
I went to local amusement park yesterday evening and marveled at how it is one of the few remaining places that will hire an army of 16 year olds with no prior experience. It’s a shit job, but a good thing overall. Hell, I did it.
It was the first time I had been back since the last day I worked there 16 years ago.
“The Sussmann trial begins today. If you want to be disappointed in the system, then tune in. Because knowing what the real crimes were and how they’re not being prosecuted should get you irritated, to say the least.”
I am surprised this even got to trial, but it looks like the judge is married to the lawyer that defended Lisa Page, so I am pretty sure Durham will be cock blocked.
All the best swamps are incestuous, after all.
In case you thought I was just pulling that shit out of my ass
I’m pretty sure it’s time to invoke Rule 303.
Looks like a mix of Lee-Metfords and commercial Lee-Speed rifles.
One of the best movies to come out of Austrailia.
You might find this interesting. I stumbled on this article on target Lee-Speed rifles.
whaddup doh’
NPRs coverage of the Sussman trial is, to be expected, completely lacking in ANY kind of admission that NPR had ever been pushing the RUSHA COLLUZION theory, or that said theory was not, in fact true.
Even worse was their segment this morning bemoaning how internet censorship isn’t yet good enough to prevent people from copying badvideos. And on that,, Hokum is blaming the shooting on PA and ended her
campaignmemorial speech with a triumphant exhortation to ban weapons of mass destruction.Imagine my surprise that she has turned out to be the corrupt gasbag as every one of her recent predecessors.
*same
Of course the shooter indicated he picked a NY target because the gun laws made it less likely his victims could shoot back.
Buffalo Shooter Reportedly Chose a New York Target Because of the State’s Gun Control Laws
He said he is currently hospitalized, but he said he has been informed there are “no long-term effects or damage as a result of this incident.”
Ask anybody who’s cared for a patient with multi-infarct/vascular dementia about that one.
The Big Guy can’t remember if he’s had a stroke, so maybe not. OTOH, symptoms …
Fetterman and van Hollen can just point to Barbara Boxer when anybody questions their fitness for the job.
Also the president.
Think you mean Feinstein. Boxer retired and the CA machine gave us Harris so she could embarrass herself on the national stage instead of just in the state.
And here is the biggest crime of the pandemic. All those shitheads who supported lockdowns and keeping kids out of school for more than a year (yes, I’m looking at you Randi Weingarten) should be strung up for the crows.
Didn’t the CDC try to move the milestones?
Do you still wonder why the left loved this idea? The left is not having many kids…. In fact, the people on the left having kids are the ones the left needs to keep dumb and under control. But the right still has kids and family, so forcing them to fall behind, especially now that everyone has realized the public school system isn’t just a failure, but an evil brainwashing/grooming racket, is a good tactic to make sure the elite don’t get to much opposition with their plan to go back to a feudal system.
I like how that story tries to shift the blame to the parents.
I’m so surprised that the experts didn’t find any culpability of themselves.
They aren’t wrong on blaming the parents. The experts are culpable for their actions, but ultimately the parents and no one else ultimately have accountability for their children.
I had one child born at the start of the pandemic and another who was very young toddler. Plus two other young kids. My wife and I have done everything we can do to ensure their lives have been as minimally disrupted as possible. The pandemic and all the craziness is completely unknown to them.
The older two do not wear masks except when required at the doctor’s office. Otherwise, we did not take them anywhere that enforced masks. We ignored masking rules in places that had mandatory signs but did not enforce (like Lowes or restaurants). Our kids have a healthy disdain for the Kabuki theater. We homeschool so none of the school ridiculousness affected them. We continued hosting large events at our home for birthdays and holidays. No masks and anyone pushing that on others would have been asked to leave immediately (but our crew is not like that). The older two continued their regular activities, like swim lessons and martial arts, when we discussed with the owners that no masks would be enforced at any time.
Our children have gone through this completely unaffected. Parents had choices to make and every single one is accountable for what happened to their own children.
You did the right thing.
Being a manager is wierd.
We have a need to do [Very Important Thing] before the end of june, and instead of tackling it myself, I handed it off to a subordinate becuase he was working on [Item Related to Important Thing], and this is exactly what I’m expected to do…
Your position is micromanager?
Not even close. I’m just accustomed to being the technician. So if something crosses my desk, I’d be expected to deal with it. I’ve been in charge of this group for 45 days, so I’m still adjusting to delegating. However, I can tell you that I am most satisfied when I see one of my direct reports has their task well in hand and I don’t have to do a darn thing to intervene.
Should have been “isn’t”. I’ve had managers who micromanage. I don’t want to be one. I like programming so it is frustrating that I get so little time to do it. Meetings and herding cats is my norm.
I have never understood micromanagers. It’s like they’re admitting that their role isn’t needed, so they should just do the job themselves, and outright saying they have no faith in the direct report to do the job.
Personally, I haven’t got the time to do my job and that of my direct reports. Just stay on task and I’m good.
At my last job I had a lot of latitude, I was the only district manager that would brief all the store employees on the monthly P and L statements, give the store manager a copy that anyone could review. I figured that if we wanted long term employees they had a right to know how the company was doing to help them make their own career assessments. There are some that I hired over 30 years ago still with the company, some have retired after 20-25 years.
Just wait until the project isn’t close to done or done properly and you spend your weekends in June catching the thing up.
The next project will be micromanaged.
Not a chance.
There’s nothing about the circumstance that would motivate the required other groups to do weekend work for us.
Does subordinate know its a [Very Important Thing]? I guess finding the right level to manage this is the real challenge. Depends on who you’re managing.
Yes, I communicated the deadlines, and this employee previously worked on the reverse proxies impacted, so he’s got enough context.
Ah, so he just needs to switch the polarities and the tachyon pulse should fix everything.
Nothing so exciting. It’s a boring SSL issue that can be corrected by changing the application setup to enterprise standard approach. It just has a depricated name and a strict deadline. Routine stuff that will break the application if not done on time.
Narrator: It won’t be done on time.
It’s weird aint it. You feel like you are pushing off your work to someone else (because you are; that is the job). I had to get used to it.
Be sure to give your people credit with your management and never even accidently take full credit for what your team did in front of them. It can be done in private with your manager, because they know it wasn’t just you, but your people might feel like you are stealing their work and promoting it as your own.
The flip side is you should take the full blame for missed deadlines and any other mis-steps because that is your job too. You can be frank with the boss in private if you have a employee that is screwing up as long as you have a plan to address it.
Delivering pizza is a crap job. At least it was when I did it in 2006. Can’t imagine it being much better now, except now you have a smart phone to tell you where to go.
I can tell when a delivery person makes the mistake of using a cell phone. Google thinks my house is a block away from where it is, so I have to talk half of them back to the right spot. (Now if they’d read the additional delivery directions, I spelled out the common issue and told them where to find the house…)
I enjoyed it back in the day (early ’90s). In hindsight, I always had car repairs that wiped out whatever profits I made… but it paid the bills at the time.
I liked it enough to stick it out. But not enough to spend another summer doing it or keep on it part-time.
I always joke to the wife that when I go “American Beauty”, I’m going back to pizza delivery. I loved that job. Best $ for mindless work. I’d drive around listening to tunes while basically stoplight drag racing everybody. Check went into the bank, trip compensation went into my car fund (gas/repairs) and I used my tips at the bar.
You fucker, no wonder all the toppings shifted
NYT and NPR both refer to Durham as a “Trump-era prosecutor”. Why is that guy even hanging around? Why haven’t we moved on?
Yup. NPR said it was just a rehashing of the 2016 election.
RE-LITIGATING ELECTIONS IS ONLY GOOD WHEN WE DO IT.
So, in case you are still hearing about how “grassroots’ all the left’s protesting is instead of noticing that the whole thing seems to be coordinated and that the protesters are actually getting paid, more proof it is all astroturfing.
The problem the non-left has is the fact they never get that the left has given up on spending time & effort to fix anything, but has concentrated all its efforts, money, and people, on changing public opinion. Usually the change involves people thinking that the problems are in their mind, or other people’s faults, and not caused by the usual shit that the machine does (ineptitude and stupidity).
Sure seems weird that the home addresses of the Supreme Court are common knowledge among left-wing lunatics – and they manage to get themselves there.
But a right-wing nut who wrote a long manifesto decides to go on a shooting spree in a Buffalo grocery? Was he looking for Merrick Garland’s house?
They are trying hard to paint that guy as right wing, but he strikes me as your average socialist in his manifesto (especially the parts that the media is hard at work not covering).
I also don’t recall many deep exposes on the black supremacist who plowed into a Wisconsin parade trying to kill as many white people as possible, except a few from very minor right wing sources.
Or the black gang-related mass shooting in Sacramento. Nothing to see here, move along.
FBI Sternly Warns Mob At Justice Kavanaugh’s Home To Stay Away From School Board Member’s House Next Door
That would be hilarious if it wasn’t so close to the truth…
subtle?
Is it just me, or does this sudden appearance of a violent “whit supremacist” seem a little too convenient?
(adjusts tin foil hat)
Especially since some old Asian guy shot up a church in Cali and they are not talking about that…
What kind of ‘Asian’ was he? The kind that commits crimes in Sweden, or Japan?
Same day all of Hunter Biden’s emails were dumped on the internet…
I saw a picture from the shooter’s live stream. His rifle had what appeared to be a rack number painted on it. I’m sure he just bought it from the Army as war-surplus; nothing to see or investigate.
Since Sloopy apparently did links early, I’ll shamelessly start the Quordle thread early as well. First “real” day of the tournament — wish it was yesterday because Hype is probably going to best me with this score. Not rotten — but not great. Ah well — I should go back to figuring out what public works projects I can force the denizens of Chumptown to do so y’all are comfortable on your brief visits…

I read the Championship page a couple times. Thanks for the extra clarity. Now I get it. Thanks.

Yeah. They weren’t that helpful today. I’ve been thinking of trying new ones, but I’m lazy.

How is this a misdemeanor, btw?
Felonies are for big ones. His was a small one.
Euphemism?
Political mudslinging is political?
Durham’s investigation has long been buffeted by the political winds of Washington. Trump and his allies have played up the probe, often suggesting it would dig up corruption and wrongdoing at the FBI that aimed to hamstring his administration.
Democrats, in contrast, have accused Durham of conducting a politically motivated investigation and seeking to discredit the original Russia investigation.
That Russia investigation was completely legitimate. It’s ridiculous to say it was an attempt to influence the election.
Listen, who are you going to believe? The straight-shooters of The Untouchables or the MOST-IMPEECHED PRESIDENT EVAH?
Russia never spent as much effort influencing the US elections as they did funding the green movement for the obvious reason that they make more money selling their oil/natural gas when there is less competition. But the left, which has been taking massive money from Russia to crimple our economy and destroying any semblance of energy independence, wants you to believe the real threat is that the greatest threat to democracy (note they don’t say the republic, but to democracy, which is also telling) is that the American people elected someone not selected by the mandarinate.
Democrats, in contrast, have accused Durham of conducting a politically motivated investigation and seeking to discredit the original Russia investigation.
Where’s the tut-tutting about the SDNY and the NY AG literally asking for a blanket subpoena of Trump’s personal info in order to find a crime they can’t articulate in the request?
I guess that’s fucking different.
It isn’t “identify crime, gather evidence, determine guilt”. It’s “determine guilt, gather evidence, identify crime”.
What part of ORANGE MAN BAD do you not understand? You libertarians are sooooo uneducated.
See my post #33 below Sloop for an explanation of why we have this shit going on..
a politically motivated investigation
Wait until they find out about the Jan 6th Commission!
seeking to discredit the original Russia investigation
It discredited itself.
Think you mean Feinstein.
Oops. Right.

Is that why the candidates are so oily?
Palms were greased.
My gf’s phone was blowing up with political texts over the weekend. I got two.
I delivered pizzas when gas prices first surged to over 4/gallon back in 08 or 09. Between taxes, gas, and maintenance on my vehicle (who knew that constantly starting and stopping your car is bad for it) it would have been harder to pick a worse job.
Pandemic has made babies and toddlers MISS talking and reading milestones because overburdened parents have been too busy to devote enough time to them
The masking might have something to do with this.

All they had to do was put a different cause of death on the death certificate.
So if everybody triple-masked, stayed indoors, disinfected all their deliveries and remained six feet away from another human being AFTER being vaxed and booseted, only 30% of people could have been saved?
Assuming the vax worked somewhat well on the early strains, if the FDA had allowed it to be used in April of 2020, how many would have been saved?
None.

If you needed any more information on/proof of why our legal system is the disaster it is today, replete with partisan leftist hacks that believe they should be allowed to do whatever the fuck they want, regardless of the law, while the other side is immediately painted in the most negative light possible (if not outright labeled criminal or insurectionisty) at every case, just take a look at this.
The system self selects for the fucking evil shit. As long as it does that, there is no fixing it.
Nuke it from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure.
Seriously, I am starting to see a pattern where it is absolutely rare that I meet someone with degree obtained in the last 15 years from an ivy League school that isn’t completely mental.

Christo-fascist political takeover
What’s scary is that this gibberish actually seems to make sense to them.
They’re a lost cause. Everyone they associate with thinks exactly the same way, and they compete on who can be the most emotive instead of presenting the most rational arguments.
Even if they change their minds later, they’ll be scared shitless of losing all their friends and professional contacts. They’ll just be gutless go-alongs.
They’re a lost cause.
They’re also going to be lawyers and judges. We are so fucked.
Since they insist on adopting everything else from 1984, why not double-unplus-good-thinkers?

Isn’t it great? We have this wonderful immigration system where people can come from all over the world just to assimilate to America’s prestige culture, which teaches them to play-act racial and religious grievances they never would have had in their native countries based upon blood libels they have no connection to.
Or in this case, bring along your cultural tendencies towards a caste system and communism.
If she was spitting on every dalit she passed or was camped out in the hills with an AK47 then I’d say she brought the caste system or communism with her. If I were to hazard a guess, based upon how she writes and my own experiences, the only connections she has to India are a fleeting adherence to the diluted version of her parents’ religion and a chip on her shoulder for not being European in our “white supremacist” land even though Indian-Americans are the most successful demographic group in this country.
most successful demographic group
Wahhhhhh, I want to be a victim toooooooo!!!!
“How dare someone call the place my parents escaped from and that I would never in a million years consider returning permanently (or even other than staying in a nice hotel in) a shit hole!”
I’d argue that the modern progs are inherently caste driven (even if it’s a perverted version of such based on a credentialist system that filters for belief). They believe the enlightened rulers should shepherd the deplorables when they’re not punishing them for wrongthink.
The progs are egalitarians; it is against their very fiber to embrace hierarchy or heredity, both of which are necessarily elements of a caste system.
The only adherence to something like caste that they have is the belief that they themselves are superior to the non-believers. The friend-enemy distinction explains their behavior much better than rigid social strata. Even their apparent love of “experts” does not run that deep; an “expert” today can be an enemy tomorrow if he does not tow the lion on some issue he isn’t even an expert in. Conformity and compliance are first and foremost, expertise and accomplishment are secondary at best.
You are quite mistaken that they are egalitarian – that is only rhetoric to them. They want power and the only point of having power is to use it. There isn’t much more of hierarchy than those who can impose their will as a whim.
Egalitarianism is a desire to level all naturally occurring inequalities and the hierarchies which arise from them in favor of the artifice of universal equality. Chasing power is not at all anathema to egalitarianism; are Robespierre and Stalin not egalitarians? Just because the end result is inevitably one man or a small committee sitting atop the “level playing field” does not mean the actors were insincere.
And yes, I realize this is rubbing up against Jeffersonian ideals of “all men are created equal”. I think Jefferson was wrong. I don’t think there’s a truly benign form of egalitarianism, but there are “lesser” and “worse” strains and Jefferson’s was the former. People are not created equal, and everything that has stemmed from that false claim has either been an attempt to bury the evidence (the tendency of the lesser strains) or else to reduce everyone to immiseration and poverty and even death (the tendency of the worse strains).
No, I would not grant Roberspierre or Stalin to egalitarians – to do so would be to strip whatever meaning there is to the word. That’s a leftist deontological trick.
I’m pretty sure Jefferson meant equal under the law, having equal rights, not born with equal abilities or into equal circumstances.
The progs are egalitarians; it is against their very fiber to embrace hierarchy or heredity,
Yet, weirdly, they have created/are embedded in/benefit from/promote a hierarchical system that is rotten with nepotism of various kinds.
No True Egalitarian
As I see it, you think there is a pure form of egalitarianism, which is noble and just, and these men are unworthy to bear its name because they sully it. I do not share that belief. These men were egalitarians, and not only that, but I believe they were purer egalitarians than Jefferson and the other founding fathers. Jefferson’s egalitarianism works well precisely because of its impurities and hypocrisies. Every attempt to purify it, that is to carry it through to its true and base form, the equality of the grave, leads to greater immiseration and impoverishment, both materially and spiritually. We are equal creations in the eyes of God, but this world is not His Kingdom and He did not create us with equal characteristics in it. Maybe there’s some deep theological purpose there, to reminds us that the afterlife is nothing like the physical world, but whatever the case may be, we cannot make a Heaven on Earth.
I’m pretty sure Jefferson meant equal under the law, having equal rights, not born with equal abilities or into equal circumstances.
Yes. He was still wrong. He and the other founders could get away with things the peasants couldn’t, even after the Revolution, even after the Constitution. That’s the reward strong men get for winning a war and building a country.
And because people are never born with equal abilities or into equal circumstances, and moreover never thereafter lead equal lives with equal outcomes, there can be never be equality of rights or law enforcement, except abstractly. But the rubber meets the road in reifying those abstractions. What does it mean in practice to have equal rights or to be treated equally under the law? These are the fundamental questions of liberalism in practice (meanwhile the fundamental questions of communism in practice are whom to liquidate and how).
There is no deeper, objective truth here that we can suss out with our God-given powers of observation and discovery. These are questions of values, and de gustibus non est disputandum. A polity cannot be held between two groups with drastically different answers to them.
Yet, weirdly, they have created/are embedded in/benefit from/promote a hierarchical system that is rotten with nepotism of various kinds.
Yes, and they resent this fact, and even more than that, they resent anyone whose existence reminds them of this fact. But hierarchy is naturally occurring and inevitable. Like all things progs do, they take something good (or at least neutral), blame it for the world’s problems, and then recreate it in inverse and make it worse than whatever came before. However, this doesn’t negate their intentions, it only reveals how those intentions are at odds with reality.
Yes, and they resent this fact,
Do they? I don’t pay a lot of attention to their ravings, so maybe I missed something.
Do they? I don’t pay a lot of attention to their ravings, so maybe I missed something.
Most of their talk is about how miserable they are. The deep heart of progressivism, where the ideas that are crazy today but will be mainstream tomorrow originate, is full of people who resent their very existence.
Even more successful than Jews?
Yes, though not by much.
I’m not particularly sympathetic to the great replacement theory, but when I hear that we import (legally) one person for every baby born here, I start to wonder.
The only problem I have with “Great Replacement” is that most people think it’s the driving factor or primary cause of our problems when in fact it’s just an accelerant for the incoherence of our political system and the chaos that’s already being sown.
Absolutely build the border wall, but maybe wait until after sending the tanks to Harvard.
Absolutely! If it were central Americans and H1B Chinese and Indians driving the left forward right now, it would be worth focusing time and effort on. As it is, the core driver of cultural rot is single white 20-something girls.
People can’t inspect their own actions and admit fault. Their daughter may be a raging blue hair, but it’s somehow Sanjay’s or Pedro’s fault that the blue hairs are winning.
Not to say that we aren’t importing cultural issues, as well, but like you said, we have bigger issues.
Absolutely build the border wall, but maybe wait until after sending the tanks to Harvard.
Por que no los dos?
Oh, they’re definitely complementary.
I don’t care about color. I care about character. The legal ones tend to be more entrepreneurial than those of us born here.
The problem is that the overculture cares very much about color (and other superficial and/or unproductive characteristics besides). A first-generation immigrant will be somewhat immune to that cultural toxicity. His descendants, on the other hand, won’t.
Forcing people to focus on meaningless characteristics they can’t control is the best way to undermine any sort of system that would stand on competency and merit.
Great Replacement is basically CRT whereas the left cheers for it and simultaneously pretends it doesn’t exist.
Michael Anton coined the term “celebration parallax” for this. If you want it to happen and think it’s a good thing, you can speak openly about it. If you don’t want it to happen and think it’s a bad thing, you’re a conspiracy theorist.
FYI, assuming you are talking about the US, the (legal) immigration rate isn’t that high. It’s one immigrant for every four babies, not one to one.
The argument, for anyone with a brain (which leaves out the white supremacists), is that immigration here is based on our values and opportunities and the assimilation of immigrants into that. The only reason the anti-immigration argument has a leg to stand on is the stupid insistence on non-assimilation from the left.
The left is at least as assimilationist as the right, but they enforce it through subtler means. It’s just that the culture they expect the immigrants to assimilate to is their own, not the right’s.
The legs would be cut out from under the Great Replacement theory if assimilation was still the cultural expectation.
I’m not sure that if we were strong on assimilation, the case would be closed on open borders.
You’re right, it must’ve been legal + illegal that was being referred to.
We’re working together and we’re doing it every day.
KAMALA: “We will work together, and continue to work together, to address these issues, to tackle these challenges, and to work together as we continue to work operating from the new norms, rules, and agreements, that we will convene to work together…We will work together”

Friend sent me that, but he prefaced it with…
So this one confirmed…these are the words written in the speech. Now to find out if she writes her own idiotic material or if she pays some new-aged college graduate that thinks they are writing clever speeches.
Narrative. Set. Match.
Yesterday’s attack was not a random act of violence. Black New Yorkers were attacked because of the color of their skin.
We will do everything in our power to defeat white supremacy.
I want to make sure Buffalo is the last place this ever happens.
He should have donned black face and rented a red Ford Escape, I guess.
If we had a breakdown by gender this mass murder may have been sexist a well as racist.
Mitch McConnell, stalwart defender of DEMOCRACY!
It’s Mitch McConnell vs. MAGA when it comes to Ukraine.
The Senate minority leader’s secret visit to Kyiv this weekend to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, along with McConnell’s staunch advocacy for the $40 billion Ukraine aid bill in Congress, is putting him at odds with his party’s non-interventionist wing. A growing number of GOP lawmakers, candidates and former President Donald Trump are hitting the effort to send billions to Ukraine as misguided given domestic problems at home.
Pennsylvania Republican Senate candidate Kathy Barnette challenged McConnell directly: “Why is Leader McConnell visiting Ukraine in the midst of the various crises right here in America?” But McConnell is unbowed.
The GOP leader argues the United States will be there for Ukraine as long as it takes and that there’s “broad bipartisan support for helping them” despite 57 no votes in the House on the package and Sen. Rand Paul’s (R-Ky.) unilateral delay of the legislation in the Senate. Perhaps most important, McConnell is directly rejecting the notion that helping Ukraine comes at the expense of the United States.
“It’s in America’s interest to do this. This is not a charity we’re involved in here. It’s in our interests to help Ukrainians just like it’s in the interest of NATO countries. So this is not some handout,” McConnell told reporters on Sunday in a call after his visit with Zelenskyy. “This is to prevent this ruthless thug [Vladimir Putin] from beginning a march through Europe. And the first place to stop him is in Ukraine.”
McConnell didn’t stop there: He said the United States should be “first in line” to ratify potential new NATO members Finland and Sweden, wants President Joe Biden to designate Russia as a state sponsor of terror and said it’s his hope that “not many members of my party will choose to politicize this issue.”
Don’t worry. I’m sure they’re keeping their special back stabbing knives in good working order.
What a venal piece of shit.
I hope the cameras caught his nose growing after that whopper.
Spare me the bullshit.
Did he give his press conference for eastward expansion and forever war in German by any chance?
I was flipping through Netflix yesterday and saw a new Ghost in the Shell series. It started by talking about how the American Empire declared a new doctrine of “sustainable war”, I think around 2024. Talk about on the nose. I would not be a bit surprised to learn that exact term is being used by our intelligence and “defense” wallahs in DC.
Do you think that if revelations came out that Trump’s AG had done this, that we wouldn’t be having a media shitstorm and another impeachment, not just of the AG, but the president?
Remember when he was Obama’s “moderate” Supreme Court nominee? (After they killed Scalia)
Things like that is why I think we have someone watching over us. Both Al Gore and Hillary Clinton, as a couple of interesting examples, were kept away from power (like this asshat) and I bet that was a win for the country. We got Obama after that asshat Bush, so he could ruin shit even worse than the Bush statists did, and then we got Biden to force all the still semi-sane people to realize that if they allowed the lunatics to keep running the asylum, we could kiss our asses goodbye.
Are you sure you’re a doctor?
It’s gotten to the point where I am rapid testing myself for COVID 2-3x/week because I like to see people and most of my gatherings involve food or drink.
How often are you testing?
Never once, because I am not a paranoid moron.
#metoo
Once, but only because it was required to re-enter the US after a business trip.
Tested myself when I felt sick and it was right- I was the sickest Id ever been but I got better.
Didnt bother when Jugsy* tested (+), I had no symptoms.
*She had that weak-ass pussy variant that left her with a runny nose for 3 days
Once every other week because my continued access to my office is tied to it.
Whatever… it’s done on company time and paid for with company money, so it’s nothing more than an inconvenience and minor indignity to me.
Virtue. Signaled.
Ukraine’s Kalush Orchestra sweeps to victory in Eurovision
Gentlemen, start your narratives!”
Bored during the early days of the pandemic, Payton Gendron logged on to the 4chan message board website to browse ironic memes and infographics that spread the idea that the white race is going extinct.
He was soon lurking on the web’s even more sinister fringes, scrolling through extremist and neo-Nazi sites that peddled conspiracy theories and anti-Black racism. It wasn’t until he spotted a GIF of a man shooting a shotgun through a dark hallway, and then tracked down a livestream of the 2019 killing of 51 people at two mosques in New Zealand, that Gendron appeared to have found his calling: as a virulently racist, copycat mass shooter with a craving for notoriety.
The white 18-year-old from Conklin, N.Y., suspected of killing 10 people Saturday in a Buffalo, N.Y., supermarket, appears to represent a new generation of white supremacists. They are isolated and online, radicalized on internet memes and misinformation, apparently inspired by livestreams to find fame through bloodshed, much of it propelled by convoluted ideas that the white race is under threat from everything from interracial marriage to immigration.
“Now you have this new ironic world of killers,” said J.J. MacNab, a fellow at George Washington University’s program on extremism. “It’s a different world — just a constant flow of bad statistics, bad memes, bad lies about the people they want to hate.… That’s the 4chan way: You say things that are outrageous that you don’t necessarily believe — and over time you come to believe.”
“…a constant flow of bad statistics, bad memes, bad lies….”
Why hasn’t 4chan been shut down? This is why we so desperately need a Ministry of Truth. One day, they’re lying about masks and vaccines, the next day there are bodies in the street.
“Worse yet, they’re snarky and make jokes about our serious stuff”
Double worse yet… They made fun of us for calling everyone racist and everything a racist dog whistle by proclaiming the OK sign to be a white supremacist symbol… Which we promptly bought hook line and sinker, and then to hide our shame we doubled down and claimed that it has actually been adopted by white supremacists.
You know how I know that article is bullshit from the get go? You don’t *log on* to 4chan. You just go there. If you want to say something, it’s said (supposedly) anonymously because there is no log in. And I’ll venture to guess that that is why it’s survived for nearly 2 decades

Well, where he’s going I don’t think he’ll be getting much gratification. Unless he enjoys being a pincushion.
“Went to prison a tight-end, but was released as a wide-receiver”
I don’t condone prison violence. This guy shouldn’t be subject to it.
But he should be chucked in a woodchipper for being into child porn.
I didnt read the kiddie pr0n part about him. But to be fair, I haven’t read about it for the simple reason I don’t want any “media take” on the story.
But yeah, if that was his jam- feet-first into a chipper slowly and 9-12″ at a time. Then just before you get deeply into his femoral and he bleeds out say ““I wish you had more time”.
Is it just me, or does this sudden appearance of a violent “whit supremacist” seem a little too convenient?
(adjusts tin foil hat)
Don’t be silly. Now go play some solitaire.
Now that’s a fluffy dog.
You can’t fool me. That’s some kind of GMO bear from a Chinese super-soldier project.
I saw a huge St Bernard sitting behind the steering wheel of a parked car, the boss came out and tried to move the dog aside. The dog was so busy licking the owner’s face and refused to move. After a 2 minute struggle he finally wrestled the dog into the back seat and the owner was able to drive away. Comedy to watch, a pain to have to deal with a friendly giant.
I don’t see any picture.
On the Domino’s front… I can confirm the staffing shortage.
Last week the kids demanded Domino’s Pizza. Apparently they had it at a church function and wanted the same stuff.
So I ordered from the app and when I went to pick it up, there was only 1 employee in the store. I talked to him for a while and he said they didn’t have enough staff. So a lot of the time they only had one person. He had to buzz me in through the front door, because it is in town on the main street (which means homeless dudes are ever-present).
I commiserated for a while about what a sucky work day that is, having worked second shift on weekends at a medical testing lab in my youth. Pulling a double shift when you are the only one around makes for a really long day when doing repetitive tasks like making pizzas or separating white cells from hundreds of blood samples.
Dude said they would normally have 3-4 people plus 3-4 drivers on a Friday night.
He said hires were tough, but retaining people is just as tough. They work a couple of weeks. Pull a paycheck or two…. And then start just skipping shifts. Eventually they just don’t show up any more or they decide it isn’t worth keeping somebody who is not reliable.
That’s on corporate. A staffing issue where you can’t reach a stable number of employees before burnout causes you to lose employees faster than you can replace them *because everyone is working 2 or 3 times harder than they should be* is almost impossible to fix at the franchise level. They need to be sending their office drones to work in understaffed stores until they can stand on their own.
Except, the Franchisee is, for all intents and purposes, a separate business. They’re licenced to use the corprate branding provided they follow a set of procedures, but they’re not actually a part of the company insofar as employees can be reassigned there. Only if its a corporate run location can people from corporate be dispatched to cover such shortfalls.
Fair enough. I think many franchise style businesses have a clause in their contract that they can be bought out if they aren’t meeting metrics. Makes sense. You don’t want one franchise dragging everyone else’s reputation through the mud.
They need to be sending their office drones to work in understaffed stores until they can stand on their own.
Yes, that’s when solutions will suddenly be developed. My son has been working at a fast food joint for over a year now. His manager is nice enough according to my kid, but he is taking advantage of my son’s reliability. I’ve told him to look for another job because he is underpaid in the current market. The light is starting brighten. I told him Burger King is hiring starters for $13/Hr. It’s right on the sign. I saw another place by the Uni offering $15.
One of my kids worked at Domino’s last year. I heard the same thing. People would show up for a week or two, realized it involved being on time and working, and then just stopped showing up. No calls, no resigning, just not showing up. As many issues as my kid has, it did feel good to know it never occurred to her to just be late or not show up. She always tried to be there early.
A couple of fast food places here are now offering next day pay. Work a day, get a paycheck the next. I can’t imagine that’s a stable place to work.
It is a hustle job. All you have to do is be reliable and work hard.
This is exactly the job the latest crop hates. They want to do bottle flip challenges or wear a thong on TikTok and get rich off of that.

Every dog needs a kid. Thanks Jimbo
For the Dean Beasts, I try to meet that need by being emotionally immature.
Wow, that’s beautiful.
Thanks, Holiness!
I have been busy, so I missed a bunch of the discussion… Did anyone else notice that they were able to proclaim this Buffalo shooting a white supremacist terror attack within about two hours? Yesterday they pushed a news feature about each of the victims onto my feed. It said that it was important to know who they were. Their lives…. Mattered.
Meanwhile, somewhere a red SUV is sad, because nobody remembers it’s 60 victims, or what, if any, motivations an inanimate object might have.
They declare all of them white supremacist attacks within the first two hours.
Then for the 95% of them where it turns out to be untrue, they memory-hole it shortly thereafter.
My favorite: “this guy is a right winger. As evidence of his right wing beliefs, note that he is racist”
They tried tying him to crypto too.
Except, he apparently hates crypto, except for crypto pegged to gold and silver.
What’s the point of some derivative. Just buy gold and silver and bury them pirate-style.
There is no point, except if you really hate crypto you try to tie a mass shooter to it.
No, I mean what’s the point of crypto pegged to gold and silver.
UCS:
I would guess weight, storage, ability to easily break it down into specific subunits, and portability. Of course, I have no idea how they would peg it to a commodity if they didn’t own enough of the commodity to hold in reserve.
He apparently watched a Tucker Carlson video once. Ergo Tucker is responsible. Or something.
I want to know if any of the folks who “radicalized” him were wearing sunglasses and khakis.
Hmmmmm.
You are not the first to note that. I have not seen it. But my brother read the manifesto and says it reads like it was written by the FBI.
I’m starting to think that if there is a manifesto, it is a government op.
The government knew about him – he had threatened to shoot others up already – and yet, here we are today..
Remember the people in charge are the people that thought things like sending a massive amount of firearms to Mexico’s cartels so they could then come use them in the US would help them fight the 2A people’s resistance to the government disarming the serfs. I can see them saying something like “let this kid be so we can get a good crisis to use” for sure…
Also, I do reddit for space news, specifically launch information. For some reason, Reddit decided to push two articles about the Buffalo shooting into my feed. Worse. It was r/whitePeopleTwitter and r/blackPeopleTwitter.
I couldn’t help myself… I scanned the comments.
Similar far-left folks inhabited both.
And, strangely. Both featured a large contingent trying to push labelling this guy the “Tucker Carlson Shooter”.
OFFS. I know they hate him with a passion but that’s just ridiculous.
That poor SUV never even got a Presidential visit.
As if The Great MAGA King would keep you at this point.
“If Trump were to return to the White House as President, and COVID was still a threat or there was some other public health emergency, would you have confidence in his ability to deal with a pandemic of this nature? Would you want to stay on at your post?” Acosta asked Fauci.
“Well, no to the second question,” Fauci added, before continuing.
“If you look at the history of what the response was during the administration, I think, you know, at best, you can say it wasn’t optimal,” Fauci said. “History will speak for itself about that.”
I don’t suppose you may suggest what might have been done differently, you weaselly garden gnome.
Are you really trying to make me vote for Trump again? Because this is how you do it.
He publicly stated that Trump did everything he asked him to do.
So… Nice retcon.
Nice retcon.
Perhaps he has a future at Disney.

Unpossible – every knows that no one who voted for Trump once would not vote for him FOREVER!
What I can’t understand…. Last night the news reported that Biden’s approval had dropped to 39 percent.
39%!?!!?!!
Who? Who I’m the hell could even in theory approve of this shit-show.
I totally get not going republican. I even get saying “I agree with team democrat, so I am voting Democrat.”. But “I approve of the job Biden is doing?”
On what level is this possible. He is failing on every possible measure. Including just being able to stand there and give a coherent speech that someone else wrote.

I, for one, am glad that we are supporting the fight for democracy.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has signed law No. 7172-1 on the introduction of amendments to certain legislative acts of Ukraine regarding a ban on the activity of political parties.
That’s according to the website of the Verkhovna Rada, Ukrinform reports.
The legislation expands the list of grounds for banning a political party through the courts. Relevant grounds are justifying, recognizing as lawful or denying armed aggression against Ukraine, including by presenting armed aggression of the Russian Federation and/or the Republic of Belarus against Ukraine as an internal conflict, civil conflict, or civil war.
It is expected that if a party is banned by the court, its property, funds and other assets become the property of the state.
Liberal democracy is when you ban opposing ideas and parties.
Internal destruction of democracy isn’t as bad as external?
The democrat cries out in pain as he wipes democracy away.

In early March, Domino’s then-CEO Ritch Allison warned that a driver shortage would be a drag on business.
“Delivery driver staffing may remain a significant challenge in the near term,” he said, pointing to a dip in deliveries in the last quarter of 2021 compared to the prior year.

Nice.
Experts who study extremism have made an effort to not circulate Gendron’s manifesto.
“Each manifesto seems to lead to another attack and another manifesto and is a radicalizing force,” Beirich said. “So it’s very important that neither the video — which presents the attack like it’s a first-person shooter game — or the manifesto be circulated because it will inspire further attacks.”
Right. It has nothing to do with not allowing anybody who may not agree with your prepackaged knee-jerk “white supremacy!” story line an opportunity to fact check you.
Experts who study extremism agree that free speech is bad.

Some music from our favorite fake news outlet
I didn’t see this before. I’m not familiar with the original song but the parody’s pretty funny on its own.
Latest Disney princess-ish movie. I’ve heard the song about 1000 times in the last 6 months.
The movie is actually decent.
And despite being the most popular, isn’t the best song in the movie.
I’d say it was just okay. The soundtrack carried it because the plot was weak.
Last Dinseyish movie I saw… Brave. I was on a transatlantic flight and needed to fill the hours. Though honestly, I think I spent more time watching the ‘Plane’s current position’ map than any of the in-flight content options. I think it was the first trip to the UK because I was in Economy Plus (Never Again! 7+ hours => Minimum Business class)
My employer has a policy that for all flights over 6.5 hours, we are allowed business or first (If no business is available) class. Conveniently, flights to most of our European operations from the east coast are excluded, for some stupid reason.
I hear that some people finagle a connection through O’Hare to bump the hours up.

My dad got stuck twice so he could travel. He is…62. He had Covid this weekend so bad that he worked outside all day Saturday and then built a table on Sunday in his shop.
So what did the crowd that now no longer can clam that the clot shot made you immune and has resorted to peddle the argument that getting all your clot shots reduces the symptoms of the infection say? Did they say that had he taken a couple of boosters he would not have suffered or did they say he would have died a gruesome death wihout any shots? Inquiring minds that just end up rolling their eyes at these idiots want to know…
You first, Bill.
Neighbor got her second booster last week. Was exposed over the weekend to COVID. She’s almost guaranteed to come down with it now. She has a bad reaction every time she gets the shot but still insists on doing it. All she’s accomplishing is trashing her immune system and increasing her risk of a stroke or cardiac event.
And Gates knows exactly how effective these shots are (or rather not). He’s lying through his teeth, the question is why.
Is he pushing them because he wants to save face? Because he really does want to reduce world population? Strictly for the money? Because the other entities involved have threatened him?
Not sure it matters, but his actual motivations would shine a lot of light on this crime against humanity.
I think he’s a true believer who thinks this has an engineering solution.
My GF had two shots of Moderna and a booster. I had none. We both got the vid about 6 weeks ago. She had a terrible cough, headaches, and fever for several days, and her doctor prescribed a monoclonal antibody treatment, which cleared it up in about 60 hours. I had mild head congestion and headache, with some loss of smell and taste, but cleared up in about 4 days with ivermectin, zinc, vitamin D3, and quercetin.
The vaccine didn’t seem to do much good in her case.
I Thought we are supposed say something like ‘Bill is not qualified to give medical advice…’ and then mark this as medical misinformation or is that only reserved for wrongthinkers?
Millions ought to “report” him for misinformation
Good morning! Great song choice. It’s one of life’s little pleasures when you come across a gem like this that you’d all but forgotten about, but then you find you know almost all the words.
The face diaper pushers will ignore this and continue patting themselves on the back.
“Maybe we have a huge cohort of kids who verge on being functionally illiterate and incapable of communicating or interpreting the actions of others, but at least they’re not all dead.”
also LONG COVID!
That’s what I tell the ladies my long jab is named and can prevent…
White House Press Corps Beginning To Suspect Psaki Isn’t Ever Going To Circle Back To Their Questions

She will answer them when doing her female Chucky doll feature on PSMBC.
Yeah,that one made me laugh.
Speaking of… SNL did the Heard-,Depp trial for their cold open. That trial has been comedy gold.
Only SNL could manage to make a skit about that trial bot unfunny and offensive. Oddly. They portray Depp as the DV perp, Heard’s attorney as the competent adult in the room, and the judge as some incompetent voyeur. They literally missed every possible beat.
That’s because SNL isn’t about doing comedy as much as it is another agent to help with the reinforcement of the programming for the lemmings primarily directed at the younger aged demographic, these days…
As far as I can tell, the remaining audience for the late-night shows is trending older not younger. The youngins have their own brain-rotting forms of degeneracy, but it ain’t SNL or Jimmy Fallon.
For good reason…you can find much funnier skits on the various video streaming services…even TikTok. TV is a relic to many
TikTok had a hundred funnier takes than SNL. The ” my dog stepped on a bee” takes were hilarious….
Impeach them for disagreeing with me.
.@SpeakerPelosi: “Who would have ever suspected that a creature like Donald Trump would become president of the United States, waiting a list of judges he would appoint, therefore, getting the support of the far right. And appointing those anti-freedom justices to the court?”
“The far right” is a powerful, dangerous group we all need to fight against. But “The far left” doesn’t exist, right Nancy?
Let’s see if Tundra can beat the score named after him

I can assure you that there are people in the Pentagon (and Ft. Gordon) that still insist that cellular be a part of the tactical communications for military operations.
Thought we learned the lesson with FitBits on overseas bases but I guess not.
Somehow they think cell phones are different, and that we can plug into any host nation network without any issues (or that a VPN solves them).
Buffalo Bill, or whatever his name was, was programed in school to love marxism and the left’s agenda, but became disillusioned with it all when it went all CRT.
Put out mixed messages get a mixed up person. Weird, who would have thought.
Cherry pick – just like he did – and it all “makes sense”.
Sounds like another one that everyone knew was dangerous and was probably on the FBU watch list – and they did the usual bang-up job.
Anyone who needs to drive 200 miles to find black people to shoot might not connect the reality dots n the same way as I do.
I would however assume that particular store had some meaning for him, but apparently nobody else does. I guess they think he just started driving and decided once he saw enough dark skin he went all shooty?
Supposedly looked up per capita dark skin areas…supposedly
It’s being reported he cased that store earlier disguised as a homeless person.
Okay, nutbag.
That settles it for me, this guy was a clear Tucker Carlson follower.
This is the entire point. I have been saying this since Ferguson. They realized that in a post racial Obama world. There was nothing to keep the black vote on the plantation. So they have been working overtime to bring racism back.
This is the intended result. The government, the press and the nonprofits are all working on creating violent racial strife.
With a bad economy. Super high inflation and officially approved crime and violent protests…. They are likely to get it before too much longer.
Saw rumors of captured American officers all weekend. Still not confirmed.

If Admiral Eric Olson is one of them, Russia will be getting their $300 Billion back.
Pepperidge Farm remembers when the Japanese were war criminals (and worse, uncivilized) by conducting military operations before the declaration of war was delivered.
Declaration of war…..ahahahahahahahaha
We aren’t even trying to say stupid shit like Kinetic Military Actions with this one.
Well for one, Russia, unlike goat herders, actually has the capacity to conduct a decapitation attack against the NMC.
Or like “Special Military Operation”
On the Heard- Depp front…..
My super over the top left wing crazy person acquaintance is over getting help from the wife. She is wearing a t shirt with a Uterus on it, and the text “my body, my choice, my rights”.
They are watching the trial. She tells me that she is also a domestic violence expert.
She is Team Depp. Thinks Heard is crazy.
When you have lost the extreme feminist left……
I saw the news on it this morning. Hugh line of 99% women wanting to get a seat in the audience. Literally there were two guys there in line.
two guys there in line
C’mon, with that much pussy around them, they’re bound to get lucky, amirite, nowatimsayin?
There is some blogger who got big following the Brittney Spears saga. She has all the dish on this trial. And is getting quotes in the mainstream press.
When Heard switched publicists. This lady started getting tips from folks in Hollywood. Apparently he has a bit of a me too style history. Accusers coming out of the woodwork.
He sent around lawyers and threatening letters (including “we know what cars you drive and we have the license plates”)
The alternate press is a real threat. And Amber Heard picks winners…..
In local COVID insanity, the 19 year old healthy male in the bike store was masked up when nobody else was this weekend. I actually felt bad for him, he’s been broken.
I see a lot of kids doing that! Lots of broken kids.
Several of my kid’s friends are still masking full time. They chin diaper at the park.
Since I actually have covid right now, I masked up to go pick up the medicine – and remembered how much I truly hated wearing them. I caught myself trying to remove it a few times while waiting for the pharmacist.
Horse Dewormer?
Or did you get Fish Tank cleaner?
I prefer Rust Remover.
Bleach or GTFO
UV lights
BOTH!
I was reading this and all I kept thinking about is this….
The timeline is accelerating
That article… I just…. I mean……
Yeah. That ain’t oral sex. That is dry-humping a face.
IOW… You are doing it wrong.
The years passed, mankind became stupider at a frightening rate. Some had high hopes the genetic engineering would correct this trend in evolution, but sadly the greatest minds and resources where focused on conquering hair loss and prolonging erections.
GO AWAY!
BAITIN!
It makes sense – what use is great hair if you can’t bring the wood?
That’s precisely the logic all the Big Pharma entities had when reviewing investment priorities…..
They like money too!
If the choice when the bank account is running shallow is to buy food or boner pills, I say I buy boner pills…
Good morning, Sloop!
First round was great, even though the Wild got bumped. One of the nice things, though, about them losing is that I feel no real need to watch. Particularly as the weather gets nicer and nicer. Hockey in June is retarded.
Great songs from a great era.
Yeah, always a minor sense of relief from a playoff loss “I’m going to have many more hours of my life free”
While I would think him winning would be a cherry on top, but I won’t lose sleep if he loses, I want to see the discovery this produces…
Redacted, shredded and unable to find. Also wiped with a cloth.
Sorry I’m not seeing a whole lot that will come out of discovery.
Why and how they targeted Flynn is going to show it was absolutely a political vendetta by the most ethical administration evah! And the fact that our 3 letter agencies were weaponized to serve a political party over the country and the constitution….
I am sure many people will not care, but suspect many others will be red pilled.
It is also instructive.
A lot of the right wing media has been saying Durham has a lock for a conviction. But remember Judge Sullivan. The DOJ came with a confession that Flynn was framed, and Sullivan foght tooth and nail to keep the conviction, including trying to charge him with purjury for his guilty plea.
An attempt the circuit court fully backed, btw.
I have no confidence that the judiciary will help in this. There is a reason this guy went to trial instead of cooperating.
Honestly, I hope he wins. I get that guys like Flynn or Carter Page were part and parcel of the military industrial complex. But, the part of me that still gets a little choked up at a 4th of July fireworks display still has some semblance of hope that they were operating in good, if misplaced, faith. And if they were, they got absolutely f**ked for it. In ways that, in any sane or just world, would lead to the guys doing the screwing spending many years in the future breaking big rocks into little rocks at Fort Leavenworth. And to see the government forced to pay them a big settlement, even if it isn’t as satisfying as seeing the bastards involved perp walked, would only give me satisfaction.
Continuing the tradition of linking to articles that probably only interest me, The Future of Mild:
http://barclayperkins.blogspot.com/2022/05/the-future-of-mild.html
I read them all.
I figure they are for you, me, and Neph.
I really like this one, it is both accurate-ish and sad.
English beer, like English cuisine, deserves the ignominy.
There are 3 large beer traditions: English, German, and Belgian.
I include Vienna/Czech under the german umbrella, Scotland/Ireland under the English.
Anything else derives from them, American brewers have done a good job of pushing those to their limits, with a variety of success.
Both the Scots and the Irish would see you drawn and quartered for lumping them under the English.
We don’t talk about China
*trashy runs away sobbing*
Green energy success stories, or maybe not…
FFS. Almost as sad as the abandoned windmill farms.
Let me help these idiots:
The answer is nuclear. Now get busy.
More nukes is always the answer.
What a disaster the anti-nuke environmentalists have brought.
That was a disaster by design. Nuclear energy would have created cheap energy and that would have prevented a lot of people that made huge bank in the green energy grievance and producing industries to lose some insane amount of lucre. The movie and news industry torpedoed nuclear energy for a reason. As I point all the “Muh Russia stealing our election” angry asshats: If you are really angry about the news Russia spent some $100K on social media adds to influence the 2016 elections, then you should be demanding heads on pikes when you realize how many millions they poured into the green industry propaganda in order to keep us from getting energy independent while helping them make enormous amount of money selling their oil/natural gas.
Like communism solar will succeed. We just need to go through enough iterations and learn from our failures to succeed.
heh heh. “We’ve never tried *real* solar! Not enough children clapped their hands!”
Nuclear is only a stop gap. There is only so much uranium in the ground.
Fuck Uranium Thorium is the real element.
The only real usage for solar I’ve found is as a hedge against the cost of grid-power. No battery, just feed it back to the utility.
And that is only made possible by legislation. There’s no natural market for it as the power companies don’t want to do it.
Hence I’m getting panels, but no battery. The battery costs 23K and lasts 7 to 12 years. The panels, however, are warrantied for 30 and I’m getting a 1 for 1 credit on my electricity bill. I’m about 25% in the hole at today’s electricity prices. Give it a couple years and I’ll be ahead.
Wow… $23k for a battery that lasts a decade.
How much electricity do people use?
Call it $300 per month. $3,600 per year. 36k per decade. But paid over a decade… So you gotta account for the cost of funds of paying upfront and the opportunity cost.
I am not sure it is break even on just the battery. That is not what they have been selling….
I forgot to mention: thanks to federal incentives, financing is available at 1.99% fixed for 25 years, there’s a 26% tax deduction on the cost of the system and you can roll in the cost of any other upgrades involved in the project (like a new roof)
I would not have considered it had it not been for the multiple legislative alterations to the market that make it attractive.
Still, developers of the project said the venture was a success because it provided a model for future energy independent solar grids.
You too can have a failure installed in your village!
Reliability is never a concern for these nitwits. Complexity is a bonus.
DC: Return To City Life
People are missing out on all the city has to offer. You don’t really want to work from home.
Shootings, muggings, aggressive pan handlers, crazy homeless people.
So much culture.
You don’t understand. Public transit relies on subsidies, both directly from taxpayers and indirectly through federal employee’s transit subsidies. Transit needs those federal workers back so it looks like there are more fare paying riders to justify asking for more subsidies.
Shootings, muggings, aggressive pan handlers, crazy homeless people.
And that’s just at the office!
Hot off the presses:
At this rate, it will never be a libertarian paradise. Unless of course, it already is.
Adults back in charge.
Party of peace.
Why even bother being anti-war?
Fuck you, Brandon.
Longest war in American history against one of the poorest countries on the planet.
We are the Evil Empire.
Moreover, as we fight Russia in Europe, we pour our resources into cleaning up the Soviets’ mess in Africa.
I reject the statement that we are the evil empire. For the most part, the United States has been a net benefit to the world, to millions, even billions of people.
Unfortunately that attracts the leeches, the power hungry, the greedy who want to hitch a ride. If America weren’t such a success of freedom and market experimentation, it would never have survived the parasites who latched on, starting in the 1600s.
However, now the juggernaut is slowing; the parasites have drained too much blood to go unnoticed by the host. Whether the host can shed the parasites and recover, or go weaker and collapse is what remains to be seen.
America is not the evil empire, but evil can and does hide here.
No?
How many did we kill in Iraq from ’91 on? How many have died in Yemen over the last decade with our tacit approval and support? How much suffering have we visited upon the Middle East in general? How much destruction and death is necessary in Ukraine before we negotiate? How many coups have we instigated over the decades?
That is not to say that some of those tragedies would not have occurred without us, but we have this insatiable need to be part of every war, to right every wrong by killing more, whether by drone or sanction.
And the American people are complicit in this because we allow it to occur in our name and at the expense of our descendants.
It is precisely because of that latching-on that the Global American Empire achieves its evils tatus. The core province, that is to say the 50 states which make up what is typically considered to be the “United States”, may be more virtuous and less decadent than the elites of the empire that has built up like a shell around it, but that doesn’t change the external impact of this arrangement. We are the fuel that the empire burns to impose its will around the world, and as you say, that fuel is starting to run out. But if we ourselves who live in the heart of the beast cannot call out the evil that has been done “in our name” then it cannot be stopped until the fuel is completely gone, at which point it will probably have latched onto a new host anyway.
Boy, the defense companies have this administration right where they want them.
“I’ll show you want the manifesto actually says (though I will not link to it).”
Oh come on.
At this point, I’m convinced that they censor the original documents (this isn’t the first time) for two primary reasons:
1. There’s content in there that contradicts a simple narrative
2. The meta-analysis (style, provenance, history) of the document would reveal the involvement of other groups
This is currently being handled. They are now saying that claiming to be authoritarian left is what a right wing racist would say. He is so far right that they are not extreme enough… So he claims far left.
They are casting about hard to explain this away.
