Brooklyn bishop robbed during sermon at gunpoint of more than $1 million in jewelry
That’s all I got for today. I’ll leave you with a song and move along with my day.
Shows two things, one, the ‘bishop’ has poor financial planning skills, and two, clergy or congregations need to be armed.
(I mean who invests in jewels without first making sure they can be secured against theft?)
This was one big factor in the Rev. GT becoming a gun-toter. He realized that if he happened to be the last person leaving the church on Sunday, a bad guy might assume he had the contents of the collection plate on him.
the ‘bishop’ has poor financial planning skills
His financial skills are in fleecing.
this would never happen to Kirill is all I’m saying
Isn’t he surrounded by Slavs with Kalashnikovs?
The fact that this happened during a sermon, as opposed to a time when the bishop wasn’t surrounded by congregants, makes me suspicious that this was planned both as an insurance scam and to make the bishop a martyr.
👆
I had toyed with that conclusion, but this is also a town with no shortage of brazen criminals and a prosecutor’s office that has abandoned its duties.
Didn’t one of the early articles on this, a few days ago, make it clear the “Bishop” is nothing of the sort? He’s a buddy of the mayor, and he is a pure grifter.
*shrug* I’ve been busy, so I haven’t had time to read any of the articles.
I mean, if anyone can give themselves a title, why not? I’ve been toying with a few to bestow upon myself:
Doctor – as in “The doctor told me to lay off the exercise and radically boost my barbecue and whiskey intake.”
Brigadier – catchy, but sounds too much like a bit part in a Gilbert & Sullivan production.
Reverend – problem is, no one really reveres me except the cats (the wife merely worships me).
“No – YOU’RE supposed to revere US.”/the cats
Also, I would like to be addressed as The Irreverend GT.
The Ridiculend GT.
I wish to be referred to as Your Grace.
Shit, if an Ed. D. can demand everyone refer to her as Doctor Jill, all bets are off.

“The FBI analyst accused of wrongly labeling evidence about Hunter Biden as disinformation has been linked to special counsel John Durham’s upcoming trial.
FBI supervisory intelligence agent Brian Auten opened in August 2020 the assessment that was later used by the agency, according to whistleblower disclosures received by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA). ”
Not sure how that’s any kind of revelation. Deep statists are going to deep state.
…. and nothing else happened.
Durham seems determined to be nothing but the tiniest fig leaf of “See! We investigated!” for the swamp weasels.
Isn’t he one of them?
He made his reputation on doing what he’s doing – perhaps he’s been personally skin-suited?
Well, I’m guessing he had to fit in order to move up the ladder.
Their first and foremost goal is to preserve the institutions regardless of how corrupt those institutions have become.

No, for the deep state. Democrats just happen to be most amenable to rule by ‘experts’.
I’m going to go ahead and call that a distinction without a difference, since the deep state actors are Democrats.
Only about half of them.
It could also be about why servant of a church has that kind of money?
Historically, priests have often been well-compensated. Rich enough to annoy kings.
Depends what point in history you start from. The church described in Acts is literally communist, and over the next 300 years the primary compensation of church elders is being sawn in half from crotch to head while hanging upside down by the feet. It’s not until Christianity hits the mainstream that the church discovers the value of a well-compensated priestly class. And then finding itself sitting upon a pile of wealth rivaling nation states, the church discovers the the simple taking of few percentage points in interest surely can’t constitute usury…
He spent 5 years in jail for grand larceny and fraud. He found a legal way to take people’s money.
Now let’s do Cardinals.

“Left-wing media outlets were quick to brand the 25-year-old aide as the show-stopping witness whose testimony was on par with the most devastating revelations from Watergate. The Boston Globe said that while some call her “the new John Dean” — the Watergate witness whose testimony harmed Richard Nixon — she was actually “more impressive.” CNN said Hutchinson’s revelations were “worse.” NPR called them “explosive.” The Bulwark called her a “heroine.” The Washington Post declared her commentary “damning” and even illustrated her appearance in an online graphic novel. The New York Times published an op-ed headlined, “Cassidy Hutchinson Changes Everything.””

Yeah that is a dramatic flip. I could see “I was swept up in the moment and after blah blah….” but she went straight to a spurious story that is looking to paint that Trump indeed was ready to put on the Generalissimo uniform
That story was so ludicrous, and her texts so easy to find, that I would bet good money that she was put there to lead the Ds down the path of idiocy.
That’s more a case of don’t get trampled by the stampede than trying to lead a horse to water.
Those pics of the drunken Dirty Sanchez at that party one time aren’t going to shred themselves.
“Somebody’s got dirt on her, made promises to her, threatened her family, or all of the above.”
Or she’s just an opportunist who will say whatever she thinks benefits her. There are plenty of people in politics and media who don’t actually believe in what they are saying.
See how end of the story: someone got her a lawyer for free.
It’s too bad WaPo and NYT have absolutely no shame.

Too bad the resulting vortex didn’t suck the whole thing into another universe.
If anti-scammer vigilanteism is of interest to you (because the govt sure isn’t interested), Scammer Payback has brought together some of the world’s top scambaiters to wreak havoc on scams for a week. Including the master baiter of master baiters, Jim Browning! Also Trilogy Media, Karl Rock, Pleasant Green, Deyo, and Modder Paul.
https://youtube.com/c/ScammerPayback
I’ve taken to having Nazi Punks Fuck Off queued up to play for the scammers. One of them lasted through the whole song, I was mildly impressed.
I don’t like wasting my time with them. It’s not amusing enough to stop whatever I was in the middle of when they interrupt me.
Perhaps use Kinky Sex Makes The World Go ‘Round?
The guys I listed, especially Jim Browning, hack the scammers and destroy their financial networks, phone systems, and computers.
Being in the voice biz yourself, you may be able to go beyond playing loud music to them!
That sort of behaviour sounds like it is also a crime in and of itself.
It’s not…all these folks are careful about that and many of them work with banks and other institutions.
Essentially they get the scammers to allow them to access the scammers’ computers. They have permission, in other words.
You should check them out. They’re doing good work with very little State support. Scammer Payback and Trilogy also have funds to make victims whole.
Also…behaviour? You some kinda Eurocommie?
I could, but then I would need to deal with the cell carriers, who already have at least a minor incentive to stop this.
No one wants to have to work with the carriers.

‘Just use Filipinos’: San Diego Comic-Con page draws flak for using ‘Filipinx’ term
Ignorant assholes. Filipino is already gender neutral. Tagalog does not have grammatical gender and only a few gender specific nouns.
It’s past time to just put these cons down.
A single shot to the brain stem, they won’t feel a thing.
They’re not all that bad. The girlfriend and I will be going to the Cleveland Gaming Classic in a couple of months. Second year about it (that I know about), bigger area this year, Free play video games, dev room (with early access and betas), pinball, vendors, and special guests.
So now LBFM is LBFX?

Fun fact, the diminutive pinoy/pinay use the Spanish name and gendering with a Tagalog suffix.
Still waiting for Méxicx.
I haven’t heard any family or friends use pinay. They all use pinoy. It might be a regional thing.

Scientists exploring a submerged mountain range in the mid-Atlantic stumbled onto something they can’t explain: An organized series of holes punched in the floor of the Atlantic Ocean.
The discovery was made July 23, and photos show the dots connect into nearly straight lines … or trails … or designs. …
“We observed several of these sublinear sets of holes in the sediment. These holes have been previously reported from the region, but their origin remains a mystery,” NOAA Ocean Exploration reported.
“While they look almost human made, the little piles of sediment around the holes make them seem like they were excavated by … something.”

“Moving forward, the Biden Administration is committed to further addressing concerns about rising energy prices.”
They’ll fine tune the narrative.
Fine-tuning appears to involve more trashing of petroleum executives.
Methinks the petroleum industry is going to take the gloves off in response.
+1 Wyatt’s Torch
At some point they have nothing to lose. That open letter from the refining executive was just a start.
Right now, Blackrock, Vanguard, et al are suppressing dissent because they hold most of the lending capital and are using ESG as a weapon, but it’s becoming an untenable situation for the oil industry.
How many divisions does Exxon have?
They don’t need any. Regardless of how many troops and police the government has, they still can’t run a refinery or a oil rig.
The oil companies could literally stop the country if they wanted to,
The oil companies could literally stop the country if they wanted to,
And then leaders would be jailed without trial and have their financial assets stripped, leaving their families destitute. The workers would be given the “choice” of running the refineries or facing the consequences.
January 6th and the Canadian Trucker protests showed the futility of peaceful protests. The State will simply hunt down participants afterwards and destroy their lives.
And the masks would be off. The US government still depends quite a bit on the mythology of its benevolence and the free market. They nurture it heavily.
At some point there are going to be some very hard decisions to make.
I’d say the masks are already off, and we’re in the transitional period right now. Who knows what this country will come out looking like on the other end though.
Masks, badges, they’re all pretty optional these days.
If the executives were willing to risk penury, jail and death, sure.
I somehow doubt they are.
They could, but I think that’s what the commies want. So, what’s the better play for the oil companies?
Slowdown.
The refineries are operating at 95% capacity. That cannot continue indefinitely.
Any reduction in refining capacity is going to hurt a lot and make the point that we cannot live without them.
Feels like that point is starting to be made now. And I hope the recent SC ruling against the EPA opens the door for more restrictions on the administrative state’s tyranny.
Biden’s Council of Economic Advisors will let you know when an increase in energy prices is really an increase.
Indeed. They aren’t going to address rising energy prices. Why should they? That’s what they promised would happen. No, they are going address concerns about energy prices, and that’s it.
They want to push people towards EVs and high density housing units. This is, as you say, all by design.

I have long been trying to figure out how much income a historical knight’s fee generated for the holder, even if it was in the form of a list of agricultural products and produce collected. Anything I could do math on to come up with a cash value. The way the scutage was handled merely tells me that it had to be above one or two pounds a year, since the English were able to get away with taxing them at that rate, but doesn’t give me the value to the holder. I just keep getting pages from the internet that say they can’t say how many acres were in a knight’s fee, because farmland had different values of productivity, so the size varied. But no one ever seems to say “in the end that was about X marks of agricultural goods”.
Bear in mind that even if such historical economic data existed it probably wouldn’t be any more accurate than the economic data we collect and/or fabricate today. So your guess is probably as good as anybody’s.
I would expect them to exist primarily as a manorial or village record of taxes/corvee from the peasants/villeins/serfs. Can’t tell if your tenants are paying their rents if you don’t know what those rents are and what was paid.
What I meant is that sometimes there’s incentives to fudge numbers, and also to lose documentation, plus we just didn’t do a great job preserving mundane documents like that from that era. So between those historical pressures, it may be difficult or impossible to nail down what you’re looking for in anything but very broad strokes. I figure this is for a book, so what I’m drilling down to is I don’t think anyone is going to nitpick your figure even if you just make something up out of whole cloth.
A lot of my research is just sanity checks and personal entertainment. When an answer eludes me for so long, however, it becomes vexatious, and I develop a need to find it.
I’ve been there. It seems like it’s getting more difficult to find obscure information through web searches to me. Even using boolean operators and exact word matching all of the mainstream search engines still give me a bunch of shit not even tangentially related to what I’m looking for a lot of the time.
You might appreciate this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEV9qoup2mQ
So far, I’ve idenfitied that the scutage tax was based upon a nominal number of knight’s fees and is recorded in England’s pipe rolls, so the term existed at the time as a measure of the value of a manor. This much is supported by verifiable evidence.

The crazy thing about white readers not reading about POC because they “can’t relate” is that readers of color spend their lives not relating to *anything* we read and yet we keep enjoying books anyway
https://twitter.com/AshiaMonet/status/1551731638962425856
Is this really a thing? Cause I don’t think it is. I cannot really relate in any way to most of the characters I read about.
I read Huckleberry Finn. Does that count?
Not if you are the vagabond son of the town drunk.
Have you tried, you know, writing better characters? When people say they can’t relate it’s usually because the characters are lacking the human aspect that allows the reader to connect on a level that doesn’t require the character to be a mirror of the reader to make sense.

SJWednesday: Guess You Shouldn’t Have Named That Dog Frederick Douglass
Or, just spitballing here, certain segments of the black population are known for dogfighting and having a black sounding name on a pit indicates the possibility of such. Having a badly raised pit around is a recipe for disaster.
In Philly they use them for muggings. It’s plenty threatening and there’s no potential firearm charge involved.
I’ll argue that 90lbs of teeth used in that manner constitutes a deadly weapon tho.
“Conversely, as dogs’ names are increasingly perceived as nonhuman (e.g., Fluffy), people adopt them slower. ”
What?
Gabriel Iglesias hardest hit.
My dog John Smith concurs. Yeah, that’s bullshit.
Hmmm…. not sure how this fits into the theory, but when I was a kid, a stray black dog adopted us (but mostly had to stay outside because of our cats,) and the Black kids next door had dubbed him Leroy.
Sigh. The beagle I had growing up was registered with the AKC (by my shitlord father) as “Honey Chile”. (not the country).
Even in the ’80s I knew that alone would keep me from ever being confirmed by the Senate for any position of importance.
* We just called the dog Honey, so we weren’t 100% racist all the time.
Honey collectors wear white. For a guy named pope I thought you might be more pious
Every animal I’ve adopted I’ve renamed (or in the case of the latest my daughter renamed). The animals don’t appear to care.
this effect being concentrated among pit bulls, a breed that is … racialized as Black
Citation fuckin’ needed.
If you somehow think pit pulls are “black” dogs, you’re the racist.
After a short time it does not matter what your dog’s official name is.
An employee of mine had a big, fat, white, cat named “Honky”.
Not only factually accurate, but an homage to Elton John.
I don’t get where that supposed slur derived from.
Did the cat also happen to have an amusing meow?
When I was a kid, I had a neighbor with two pet raccoons (orphaned as babies, he hand-raised them).
Their names were Willie and Otis.
My Grandma had two black farm pups. She called them Amos and Andy.
They conducted this “study” in Columbus, which is 60% white. And I’m guessing that the percentage of white shelter adopters skews even higher. So no surprise that dogs with white sounding names were adopted at a faster rate. If you conducted the research in Beijing, Chinese-sounding names would have a faster adoption rate over white sounding names. Or black sounding names would have the highest rate for a shelter in Baltimore.
I get this all the time. Journals want it noted as a research limitation that a study sample from the UK was mostly white and only 10% black. But that’s representative of the UK’s demographic makeup, so it’s not a limitation. Oddly, I’ve never once been asked to add the zero percentage of black, white, or Hispanic participants as a research limitation in studies conducted in Asia that have 100% homogenous populations.
Idiot said what?

Abasement and humiliation
It was a stunning image: Pope Francis briefly wearing a full Indigenous headdress, its rows of soft white feathers fastened in place by a colorful, beaded headband after he apologized for the Catholic Church’s role in Canada’s “disastrous” residential school system for Indigenous children.
Chief Wilton Littlechild, a residential school survivor himself, gave Francis the headdress Monday, placing it on his head amid cheering by an audience in Maskwacis, Alberta, that included many school survivors.
The Vatican and the pope clearly appreciated the gesture: Francis kissed Littlechild’s hands after receiving the headdress, something he has done in the past as a sign of respect for Holocaust survivors, and has done on this trip for residential school survivors.
The Vatican obviously understood the symbolic significance of the moment, putting the photo on the front page of the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano under the headline “I humbly beg forgiveness.”
——-
“It creates unnecessary noise regarding Indigenous peoples’ choices where the real scrutiny should be placed on the Pope and that entire institution.”
Maka Black Elk, executive director of Truth and Healing at Red Cloud Indian School in Pine Ridge, South Dakota, described the scene on Twitter as a ”#toosoon moment.”
“The discourse around the #PopeFrancis headdress is unfortunate,” wrote Black Elk. “He did not request that. It wasn’t his fault. But it’s also clear the givers did not consider how it would make other Indigenous people feel.”
Black Elk said later in a telephone interview that the mixed reaction to the headdress being placed on the pope’s head “reflects the reality of native people and our need for more dialogue” about the past.
People are liable to think incorrectly in the absence of enlightened activism.
Please, please, please, please tell me that the headdress was infected with monkeypox virus.
“You give us smallpox blankets? We give you monkeypox hats!”
Watching the media try to deal with a Pope covered with monkey pox scars on his head would be awesome
“Black Elk said later in a smoke signal interview” that it was a “toosoon moment”
Everyone hates Indian givers
“More dialog” really means “more grift”.
Chief Wilton Littlechild then told Pope Francis his sins are forgiven, say 10 Hiawatha’s and perform one rain dance, and to go in peace and sin no more.
Heh.
“Filipinos Blast Comic-Con for Use of Woke Term ‘Filipinx’
Linguist Nanette Caspillo told Vice that the term “Filipinx” is “unnatural” because “the suffix ‘-x’ does not exist in the Philippine linguistic system.” While advocates for the term contend that it is more inclusive of people who reject the traditional gender binary, Filipino social media users pointed out that the word “Filipino” is already gender-neutral.”
https://freebeacon.com/latest-news/filipinos-blast-comic-con-for-use-of-woke-term-filipinx/
No one could have seen this coming.
e term contend that it is more inclusive of people who reject the traditional gender binary – or you know fuck those people
Let’s just fucking leave gender for nouns, focus on sex and leave it at that.
Isn’t this what they call “colonization”?
Yes.
But according to them it’s linguistic justice.
Wearing a sombrero on Halloween is cultural appropriation (bad), but changing foreign language(s) despite protestations of native speakers is right and just.
Yes. That is colonization.
As I mentioned above, Filipino languages are nearly genderless. My wife still mixes up he and she in English because they don’t have the equivalent. With the exception of some words for people (man, woman, relatives, …), nouns are gender neutral. Even boy and girl are compound words “batang lalaki = man child” and “batang babae = woman child”.
Fuck democracy, we need a revote here!

Software locking shit and crippleware is just stupid.
Welcome to the future.
I’m sort of OK with this. Mostly because I think that places like Tesla and Mercedes are going to find out that hackers will uncripple that shit for end users.
The same East Europeans that hack John Deere tractors will make good $$ turning on those seat warmers for you.
That particular Twitter is a guy who hacks Tesla for a living.
The issue here is Tesla had a bunch of issue with the 60kWh packs. Under warranty they replaced them with 90s as they no longer made 60s, but software locked them. I’m OK with that and so is the hacker. Nobody got screwed. You could pay (at the time) the difference between the no longer made 60 and the 90 they installed and “upgrade” your car.
Problem here was Tesla screwed up and unlocked this car without payment. And now on its 2nd or 3rd owner the retroactively “corrected” this mistake. They screwed an innocent third party.
The hacker here can disconnect the Tesla from the mothership and give this guy back his 90kWh battery pack, but he can no longer get any software updates from Tesla. This includes things like mapping and streaming radio.
” Under warranty they replaced them with 90s as they no longer made 60s, but software locked them. I’m OK with that and so is the hacker. ”
But that’s just wasteful.
Yeah, but I get it and the purchaser was in no way harmed.
The issue would be how old cars would affect new sales.
Kind of funny for a company that markets itself as Earth’s environmental savior to lock its users out of 30% of their battery capacity without an extortion fee.
I’ve had to swap out a couple of computers under warranty. In one case, my model was no longer in production, so they had to upgrade me to the next-nearest model. They didn’t ship it with a locked-out BIOS where the CPU frequency was regulated down to my original CPU’s specs.
I’m 100% against OTA programming for cars.
A friend’s brother bought a Tesla new and took it off grid, within 2 days he had an e-mail from Tesla telling him to restore it to the grid or lose warranty and supercharger access.
Tesla and off-grid are not concepts that go well together.

Pregnant Woman Had to Bring Her Own Discharge to Hospital to Prove an Infection Was Killing Her
“To them my life was not in danger enough,” Elizabeth Weller, who developed a life-threatening infection at 18 weeks pregnant, told NPR.
Today in dystopian stories about pregnant people having to fight for their lives due to draconian abortion bans, NPR reports that a Texas woman had to bring her own foul discharge into the hospital to prove that an infection was killing her so that a panel of doctors would agree she was finally in enough danger to terminate her lethal pregnancy.
https://jezebel.com/a-pregnant-woman-in-texas-brought-her-discharge-to-the-1849332357
I feel her pain. In the past, I have visited totalitarian patriarchal Nazi physicians who even made me bring in my own urinary and colorectal discharge to their office.
First comment: The anti-abortion zealots will call this proof that the system works, because Weller didn’t die.

A new study looked into the severe hit being absorbed by Russian GDP amid wartime sanctions from the West.
Businesses are leaving Russia in droves, and foreign companies that have left previously accounted for 40% of GDP, the authors wrote.
“There is no path out of economic oblivion for Russia as long as the allied countries remain unified in maintaining and increasing sanctions pressure.”
Western sanctions are weighing on the Russian economy as the war in Ukraine enters its fifth month, and the country’s sinking GDP makes a full economic recovery difficult to envision, according to a new study by Yale academics including Jeffrey Sonnenfeld.
The exodus of over 1,000 global companies from Russia has severely damaged its economy, the authors argue, and any posturing of strength or resilience by Moscow is not an accurate reflection of what’s actually going on. Official data coming out of Russia are not true, they said.

Sting – Russians
https://youtu.be/wHylQRVN2Qs
That song always struck me as irrelevant idiocy. Just because the Soviets loved their children it didn’t preclude them doing harm. I mean, the Nazis also loved their children too, what was that worth?
I was always under the assumption that it was in the context of a nuclear exchange and the resultant mutually assured destruction rather than a more generic war.
Yes. It was ridiculous. But Sting was “doing something”!
Maybe Sting was implying that the Russians don’t love their children. From a couple of articles…
“The only widely available method of family planning has been induced abortion. In 1988, the country registered an abortion rate of 92.6 abortions/1000 women aged 15-49 (or 118 abortions/100 births). The yearly number of abortions in the USSR, some 6.5 million (according to official figures), accounts for 10-20% of all abortions performed worldwide. Independent sources put the yearly number of abortions at 10-11 million.”
“… the country gained a termed ‘abortion culture’. Russian abortions peaked in the middle of the 1960s, with a total of 5,463,300 abortions being performed in 1965.”
“Putin’s Next Target Is Russia’s Abortion Culture”
“MOSCOW, JAN. 19 [1989] — A newspaper here reported today that nine out of 10 first pregnancies in the Soviet Union end in abortion, which is widely regarded here as a cheap and effective alternative to contraception. … the operation had become so routine that women were treated as though they were on an assembly line.”
It’s done wonders for us too.

Ongoing saga
The 6th Street Bridge was closed Tuesday evening due to what police were calling “illegal activity” and public safety concerns.
It’s another closure for the new bridge in what seems to be turning into a nightly game of, “will they/won’t they close it tonight?”
The bridge has been closed more than five times since it opened earlier this month. Over the weekend, the roadway was closed for three consecutive nights.
The problems plaguing the new bridge have included street takeovers, drag races and climbers.
The issues have led to city councilmember calling for increased police patrols on the bridge and more safety measures to keep people from scaling the sides or blocking off the street. Recently, fencing could be seen blocking off any areas where wannabe daredevils might be able to get a foothold to scale the bridge.
City officials are also discussing the possibility of adding speed bumps on the roadway to stop any would-be racers.
All that lofty nonsense about the bridge was true. It’s a metaphor for the City of Los Angeles.

Semiconductor Subsidy Strings Attached
https://www.wsj.com/articles/semiconductor-subsidy-strings-attached-senate-bill-chips-president-biden-11658873210?st=ibejlql4rtg1195&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink
The Senate on Tuesday voted 64-32 to advance a $280 billion “chips plus” subsidy bill, and as ever in politics there’s a lot of plus. Money from Washington always comes with strings attached, and we hope the semiconductor CEOs know what they’ve signed up for.
That message couldn’t have been clearer from President Biden on Tuesday when he told business and labor leaders on a conference call that the bill’s $52 billion in grants for Intel and other chip makers would not be “a blank check to companies.” The President said he will “personally have to sign off on the biggest grants.”
Hint to companies applying for money: Locate that new factory in a swing state with more than a handful of electoral votes. Mr. Biden or the Vice President may want to swing by during the 2024 election campaign.

The Justice Department is investigating President Donald Trump’s actions as part of its criminal probe of efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, according to four people familiar with the matter.
Prosecutors who are questioning witnesses before a grand jury — including two top aides to Vice President Mike Pence — have asked in recent days about conversations with Trump, his lawyers, and others in his inner circle who sought to substitute Trump allies for certified electors from some states Joe Biden won, according to two people familiar with the matter. Both spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation.
The prosecutors have asked hours of detailed questions about meetings Trump led in December 2020 and January 2021; his pressure campaign on Pence to overturn the election; and what instructions Trump gave his lawyers and advisers about fake electors and sending electors back to the states, the people said. Some of the questions focused directly on the extent of Trump’s involvement in the fake-elector effort led by his outside lawyers, including John Eastman and Rudy Giuliani, these people said.
Ah, the ol’ “sources say”

WRT this and the “…you can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-America…” (or whatever it was) quote: The thing that even TMITE isn’t saying, because maybe they don’t even know it, is that when all the R congresscritters went home after the 6-Jan stuff, what they found out is the vast majority of their folks were (and still are) perfectly fine with all of it, and even think it didn’t go far enough. The politicians just don’t have the balls to say it.
This is all obviously timed to have lots of TMITE attention for the next round of elections. But I think they might be seriously missing what the intended audience will think. Amongst the deplorables, 6-Jan was fine, and complaining about it will only reinforce that. TMITE is still pretending anybody cares about Pence. His future ended that day – completely. He was only ever there as VP to provide the actually-Christian section of the R tent a peace offering; they know Trump’s not one of them but were OK with him since he didn’t openly hate them. Pence is over. Wherever they’re going with this, it’s not going to work.
Yeah, the jokers running this ridiculous theater don’t give a shit about Pence or Sicknick or “muh democracy” or any of the other crap they have been pretending to give a shit about. All they care about is winning elections. And this circus isn’t going to do jack shit to change anyone’s mind.

Another set of human remains was found at Lake Mead Monday as the reservoir’s water levels continue to recede, according to a news release from the National Park Service.
Park rangers responded to a report of human remains found in the park’s Swim Beach area in Boulder City, Nevada, at about 4:30 p.m. PT, the release said. “Park rangers are on scene and have set a perimeter to recover the remains,” the release said.
The Clark County Office of the Coroner/Medical Examiner is assisting with determining the cause of death, the park service said.
This is at least the third body found in the Lake Mead area as the country’s largest reservoir has receded to unprecedented levels.
The first body, discovered on May 1, was found in a barrel and was likely a murder victim who died from a gunshot wound “some time in the mid ’70s to early ’80s, based on clothing and footwear the victim was found with,” according to a news release from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police.
——-
“The lake has drained dramatically over the last 15 years,” Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Homicide Lt. Ray Spencer said in May. “It’s likely that we will find additional bodies that have been dumped in Lake Mead” as the water level drops more.
What does the EPA have to say about allowable levels of human remains in the water supply?

Dr. Anthony Fauci, President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser, said the virus has proven to be a challenge and the current generation of vaccines is not going to be enough.
“Since September of 2020, this virus has continued to prove more than a formidable foe,” Fauci, who is also the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said.
“We have multiple variants of concern that we need to deal with. And it’s getting more complicated … We have sublineages of sublineages,” he added.
And each one is less deadly than the last. How can we maintain our viselike grip on the narrative?
How much time was spent by staffers crafting this line?
Also; now do every virus known to Man.
We don’t need a vaccine for everything, just covid.
Perhaps that’s where Kamala’s speechwriter went.
I think all of us here knew from the very beginning that eventually we’d get to the point where COVID was just another part of life, and that there is an “acceptable” number of people who die from it every year. We’ve reached that point. But a not insignificant cult of people are still resisting this reality.
https://www.history.com/news/1918-flu-pandemic-never-ended
What’s even more remarkable about the 1918 flu, say infectious disease experts, is that it never really went away. After infecting an estimated 500 million people worldwide in 1918 and 1919 (a third of the global population), the H1N1 strain that caused the Spanish flu receded into the background and stuck around as the regular seasonal flu.
We have sublineages of sublineages
Oh, you mean that thing that happens with respiratory illnesses. The mutate constantly.
Dr. Paul Offit, who says he isn’t sure that every adult is in need of a boost, is among those experts, citing memory cell responses in the human immune system.
It’s been a debate for some time in the medical community about whether or not those who are healthy and vaccinated are already primed to fight severe infection and if additional boosters should be relegated to the most vulnerable populations.
Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, recently told Yahoo Finance as much, saying, “I think what hasn’t happened yet is neither of these companies, neither Moderna (MRNA) nor Pfizer (PFE) has shown that giving that dual vaccine, that bivalent vaccine, is clinically better than just giving the ancestral strain.”
He and other experts on the FDA panel have voiced concern about a lack of attention on memory cell protection and the need for vaccines with more durable protection — as opposed to the highly effective, but quickly waning mRNA vaccines.
Sandeep Reddy, chief medical officer of ImmunityBio (IBRX), echoed the sentiment Tuesday, saying that his company is focusing on a different target than the spike protein in hopes of more durable protection.
“We clearly need antibodies, but we also need T cells in order to break the cycle of transmission,” Reddy said.
That’s crazy.
Offit is a piece of shit who has served as a spokesman for the vaccine industry for a long time now.
If he’s showing hesitation then the jig is up.

Man, just checked the difference in age between Biden and Trump – only 3 years. Trump looks 15 years younger.
And it’s not like Trump is a picture of youthful vigor, either.
It’s the orange glow.
I recently was looking through old family pictures and found some from my grandpa’s 90th birthday party, and it struck me how much healthier and vigorous he was at that age than Biden is in his late ’70s.
I’m going to guess your grandfather actually worked for a living vs. sucking off the public teat his whole life.
Fauci noted that the overwhelming government investment in the research, development and in some cases manufacturing of the COVID-19 vaccines, and their availability to all Americans helped to save more than 2 million deaths.
Fauci cited a Commonwealth Fund analysis that also noted that more than 17 million hospitalizations, 66 million infections and just under $9 billion in health care costs were averted by the existence of vaccines.
But, he noted, a public-private partnership approach is key in continuing the effort, as was achieved through Operation Warp Speed.
“Industry partnership from the begging and de-risking … is critically important,” Fauci said.
Yes, yes, of course. “According to my model….”
I assume “de-risking” means shielding the makers from liability litigation, and not careful testing of the vaccines for unwanted and dangerous side effects.
