LIZ CHENEY NOPES, GREY LADY COPES: NYT editorial “In the Ways That Count, Liz Cheney Won.”
BYE, FELICIA: The long-awaited CNN dumping of Brian Stelter is going to happen.
ACTIVIST FEDERAL JUDGE ENABLES GREEDY COUNTIES TO SHAKE DOWN DRUGSTORES: The end result of this will be cancer patients writhing in pain because nobody will write or fill a prescriptions for opioids, yet government will claim this as a victory in the war on drugs. Or corporate greed. Or something. Fuck all of these people so very much.
TRAGEDY STRIKES FLORIDA COUPLE VACATIONING IN ALABAMA: WFLA – Florida college student shot, killed while protecting girlfriend from would-be robber in Alabama forest. The robbers were living off-grid in the Talladega National Forest, and a 5-yo child fled their camp with a shotgun when the cops showed up.
HOW LARGE BREASTS CHANGED MEDICINE FOREVER: How young doctor Laënnec, reluctant to motorboat buxom patient, invented the stethoscope, advanced diagnostics.
SIGHT GAG: Go here, make sure “satellite” view is selected.
Not It.
Uh huh.
I’m convinced that Brain Seltzer is one of those mutant goblin creatures Alex Jones warned us about.

SIGHT GAG: Go here, make sure “satellite” view is selected.
🙂
I saw that scratched into the toilet seat of a truck stop once. I give the person kudos for being appropriate.
How do you enable satellite view on a truck stop toilet seat?
Open the roof?
Don’t put the lid down?
How do you get satellite mode in Apple Maps on a smartphone?
I tried it in Google maps, and didn’t get any sight gag.
DUN DUN DUUUUUUNNNNNN!!
Has Google … Censored it?
The little globe in the upper right will give you your options.
That NYT article is so consistently bad I can’t find a pull quote. Although I do remember when Democrats hated Liz Cheney. There is even a line in Scream Queens how “she sucks”.
She’s not going away. She was clear about her determination to hold on to her megaphone and continue fighting Trump in her Tuesday night concession speech, which was less concession than vow — and an extravagant vow at that.
She is pro torture after all.
I’d say less vow than threat.
The problem is illegal fentanyl not legal prescriptions.
The problem is “illegal” anything. I have no love for junkies, but the government cuts off legit pain patients and they turn to street drugs, then the government classifies them as addicts, wash, rinse, repeat.
Better 10 million terminal cancer patients die in agony than one skeeve junkie be able to get high without risking his life.
It’s the most fucked up moral calculus I’ve ever heard. At least the Soviet Union apparatchiks kept the hooch flowing so the proles could numb themselves to their atrocities.
“The problem is “illegal” anything.”
True, but fentanyl is a disruptive technology.
All true. Let’s also remember the additional burdens placed on everyone. You might find a brave pain doctor who will still right a prescription. But expect it to be for a short period of time and require repeated appointments to justify continuing the prescription. Hell, the so called drug law reforms from a few years ago meant my dog’s prescription for anti-seizure medication has to be refilled monthly instead of quarterly. This is for a non-narcotic medication.
I’m dealing with this first hand. I currently have shingles and got a prescription for Norco. They gave me 12 pills which is enough for 3 days. When I called to request a refill since we were heading out of town, the nurse told me that normally they need 72 hours notice for a refill. Fuck that. I’ll take some ibuprofen and deal with it.

Lawmakers Press Amazon on Sales of Chemical Used in Suicides
The chemical is food grade sodium nitrite.
Tin foil hat: the goal is to make it harder to preserve meat at home and force people either to be reliant on the supply chain (disrupted because of incompetence or by intention) or eat bugs (with the king’s permission).
That’s good, climb up on the body of your dead loved one to get a law passed making it illegal to buy preservatives you fascist cunt. Where there’s a will there’s a way.
Come January, she will no longer be Representative Cheney because she represents steadfast principle in an era with a devastating deficit of it. History will smile on her for that. It will remember the likes of McConnell and McCarthy for different, darker reasons. You tell me who’s the winner in this crowd.
She died doing what she loved most.
Seek professional help, Bruni.
You tell me who’s the winner in this crowd.
Hageman
Lol. Yes, and the citizens of Wyoming too.
Good thing Q isn’t a doctor?
Q doing an exam.
She got many, many fewer votes than her opponent, an unscrupulous shape shifter unfit to shine her shoes, because she chose the tough world of truth over Donald Trump’s underworld of lies. That’s a moral victory.
Keep telling yourself that. She is a statist cunte that lost because she refused to represent WY.
TDS is not a meme, but a real condition.
Re: TRAGEDY STRIKES FLORIDA COUPLE VACATIONING IN ALABAMA
This sucks. At least the boyfriend managed to defend his girl, even if it was at the cost of his own life. A carjacking in an isolated area, there’s no reason to think that it wouldn’t escalate into a murder.
At least one murder. I feel sorry for her. She lost her man, and is going to live with survivor guilt.
And then, down the road, I end up dating that broad.
Terrible story.
Brave man.

But the bigger issue for US natural gas is the fact that inventory levels are below historical averages, leaving the market with less of a buffer and driving up prices.
“We entered this year at beaten-down levels and we never caught up,” Yawger said.
Supply has failed to keep up with strong demand for gas. Thummel pointed to how US oil and gas producers are under pressure from Wall Street to spend less on expensive drilling projects and more on dividends and buybacks to shareholders.
They’re eating the caviar and drinking the good stuff while the Titanic is sinking.
ESG investing guidelines are a real problem in this area.
“Wall Street” is an interesting way to spell the president’s name but whatevz.
Between Black Rock and Goldman Sachs it’s a distinction without a difference.
“We need more US natural gas production. The production levels are too low,” Thummel said.
Fucking incentives- how do they work?
By executive order of course.
Amazing that investment is way down in an industry the Almighty Feds have flat out said they want to destroy inside of a decade. Just stunning.
On a related note, Dr. Peterson is a bit cranky about the whole thing.
They hate you and want you dead.
It all becomes clear after you realize that.
I canna figger out how to select satellite. I know how to do that in the Googles, but not the Apples

Can someone please think of the normies and post a screen shot of that map? Foiled by an Apple product again!
The controls didn’t load for me either, but you can look up the address manually on DDG or Google and view it that way. I’ll save you the trouble.
Lol! Thank you.
Nice! The Google maps did not show that when I looked just now
Heh, I just assumed they’d be the same. I should have known better. The Google Maps version does indeed show a plain old field. I’m sure their satellite data is just out of date. It’s not like they got gifted access to non-commercial government satellites when they acquired In-Q-Tel-financed Keyhole or anything…
I clicked on satellite view and didn’t see anything out of the ordinary, then when I viewed your link I went back and realized they blurred it out. Fucking humorless cuntes.
Here you go
So even the aliens hate Biden?
I feel bad about snarking now. On my map I have a little car and a direction symbol in the upper right I press and held the car and after about two seconds it opened a menu which let me change map. I do not see that on your map.
Being a simp for Liz Cheney is worse than being Liz Cheney.
Andrew Yang has a lot of money & time on his hands. Surely he’ll soon realize no one outside a small Twitter group know or care who he is.
As others have pointed out, he is attempting to build a third party that is even more hated than D or R.
True. In fairness to him, he doesn’t seem to have any well thought out principles. No wonder he appears aimless.
He seems like one of those people who thinks Twitter is real. NOBODY KNOWS WHO THE FUCK YOU ARE, DUDE
Physically liberal and socially conservative.
I’m not sure whether she’s actually delusional, or playing a part. If she runs as an independent she will probably siphon enough votes away from the GOP candidate to keep the Biden/Harris regime in power. Then all her newfound democrat friends will abandon her. She’ll never hold office again.
She wants money in her new PAC. I doubt she’ll actually run, but she’ll take a lot of people for suckers and then go sit on the board of Raytheon or whatever.
Yep. Her income is based on being a politician. That sweet filthy PAC lucre is too delicious to pass up.
I’m sure she’s actually delusional. Being the daughter of a political sleazebag subhuman piece of shit and growing up in that wealth and power bubble, utterly shielded from reality, gives children of privilege an extreme case of Unwarranted Self-Importance.
Wouldn’t she split the Anti-Trump vote?
It seems that she would actually help Trump if she ran. I can’t see many people who would pick Trump over Biden deciding that she is a better alternative. I can see a lot of independents who would have chose Biden over Trump deciding that they’d vote for her.
I believe so. Also, the number of voters flying the Lincoln Project/Jen Rubin/Bulwark/etc. banner is a rounding error.
Malice, as usual, with the best response.
LOL

He’s in good company. Al Franken is doing it. He seriously thought his endorsement would help her.
Liz Cheney was defeated overwhelmingly in her House Republican primary in Wyoming on Tuesday night, and her time in Congress is winding down.
But it’s impossible for me to say that she lost.
Really? Because I find it easy to say she lost. Bigly.
She gained the temporary love and respect of Democrats who would never actually vote for her in a million years.
She must have got really excited by Mitt Romney’s TED talk.

Bruni loves Cheney for the same reason that Christians love missionaries. Cheney was willing to venture out into the wild and try to enlighten the savages there. Gotta respect that, especially since you know you’d never venture more than 10 miles out of Zone Blue.
Unfortunately for Cheney she met the fate of many missionaries and was murdered by the very savages she was trying to help.
Can four-day school weeks help tackle teacher shortages?
What if…hear me out…parents could choose? Like, choose a 4 day school vs. a 5 day school? Teachers looking for jobs could so the same?
Did they reduce teacher pay by 20%.
That’s madness. Ordinary people are incapable of thinking for themselves.
So, boss, I’m having trouble staffing my production lines and can’t fill orders. I was thinking about reducing our production time by 20% to fix the problem. Sound good?
In the Carter Administration I remember our elementary school tried doing 4 day weeks because of the Energy Crisis. The idea was that it would save $$ on heating costs.
The problem was that they also extended the length of the days. That went over so well with a bunch of ADHD boys. I was one of the worse. I remember getting sent to the principal several times that year because I just couldn’t sit still that long. (and my teacher that year was a dried up hag who wanted everyone to sit quietly).
Kids being home 3 days a week instead of two? Madness!

For the children.
Yeah, all those people, like AOC, crying about ‘child separation’ were always frauds, but this situation just makes it more obvious.
Yes, and even putting aside the general neglect, and massive potential for child trafficking and abuse, the U.S. government is financing people to break their own laws.
I’d say she’s fit…
Finland’s Prime Minister @MarinSanna is in the headlines after a video of her partying was leaked today.
She has previously been criticized for attending too many music festivals & spending too much on partying instead of ruling.
The critics say it’s not fitting for a PM.
…fit to help me Finnish.
I’d meet her at a conference.
partying instead of ruling.
Instead of ruling…
Ruling……..
Not governing, mind. Not serving the public. Ruling.
Look for Winter War Too: Natgas Boogaloo in a theater next January.
Stupid cunte was a covid close contact last year and responded by going clubbing.
And yet so many people think she should get away with it because they find her fuckable.
I’m willing to catch covid from her.
Which would you want running your country: Knee walking drunk Finnish PM or Senile Joe Biden?
They both hate me.
I guarantee she doesn’t see fit to leave people alone while she parties. That would be tolerable.
Watching that really reminded me of my trip to Denmark
Since I said it on the deadthread, thanks to PM and Tundra for advice on what to do with my cabinet. I’ll make that my Absolute Beginner Woodworking project for fall, after the kid is outta here.
Of course! Good luck and get sanding!
ESG investing guidelines are a real problem in this area.
ESG is a right wing myth.
ESG is more of an idea than a guide…
No one is really following ESG guidelines.
It’s not really about that. It’s about getting Blackrock and Vanguard lackeys on the boards so they can enforce control.
See Twitter for an example.
I was aiming for a joke to match the same trajectory as the CRT excuses.
“Human rights defenders this week accused US President Joe Biden of empowering Saudi oppression after an activist was sentenced to 34 years in prison for tweeting about the fundamentalist monarchy’s repression of women.
Salma al-Shehab, a 34-year-old Saudi mother of two and graduate student at the University of Leeds in England, was on holiday in Saudi Arabia in January 2021 when she was arrested, tried, and sentenced to six years behind bars for social media posts expressing support for activist Loujain al-Hathloul, who was imprisoned at the time for advocating for women’s right to drive and an end to the kingdom’s male guardianship system.
Last week, Saudi Arabia’s Specialized Criminal Court of Appeal increased al-Shehab’s sentence to 34 years, plus a 34-year travel ban. According to the Freedom Initiative, a Washington, D.C.-based group advocating for wrongfully imprisoned people in the Middle East and North Africa, al-Shehab’s is the longest-ever prison sentence for a women’s rights activist in Saudi history.”
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/saudi-woman-given-34-years-prison-tweets
But the pink razors cost the same?
You won’t catch me defending Biden on anything, but there hasn’t been a US president since Roosevelt that hasn’t empowered Saudi oppression.
Also how fucking stupid was this bitch to think she was going to leave a western matriarchy, return to the most regressive backwater shithole on earth, and suffer no consequences? First day on planet earth?
She saw what happened in Russia, and was hopeful the US had some arms dealers to trade with the Saudis?
there hasn’t been a US president since Roosevelt that hasn’t empowered Saudi oppression
Allowing the domestic energy industry to grow, improving Israeli-Arab governments relations, and stop sticking our dick in everything (even if the MIC thwarted it at every turn) did a bit towards making the Saudis less relevant.
She’s a Saudi national, as was Khashoggi. They chose to poke the bear from afar, then voluntarily entered Saudi territory* and paid the price. No, your student/work visa in another country does not make you a citizen of that country, nor does it obligate that country to intervene when you return to your country of citizenship and it ends badly.
(*)Khashoggi was killed at the Saudi embassy in Istanbul. Embassies are considered the territory of the country they represent, not the country in which they are physically located.
Yup. That’s my thought on both.
Play stupid games win stupid prizes. Khashoggi should have known better.
Wouldn’t that be a consulate and not an embassy? I’d have thought the embassy is in Ankara.
I think I spotted where things went off the rails.
Should have gone to Mallorca instead.

And why does he have two passports?
The Russian passport, of course, is kept in a vault at Yasenevo and only swapped out at third country meets, so it can’t be that one.
But seriously, this cunte should be in a jail cell.
He should be hanging from a lamp post by his own intestines. It should be very seriously frightening people that all of these former spooks are now doing overt political kabuki. The fact that they no longer need to hide it or pretend to neutrality means something.
26 year FBI and Army veteran. Georgetown School of Foreign Service adjunct professor and alum.
Right. I believe a guy with these credentials doesn’t know that any US citizen can have two valid US passports at the same time. Maybe more. You don’t need to wait for you current passport to expire to get a new one. It’s convenient for people who travel a lot internationally: one passport is left at a consulate or a visa center to get a new visa for country A, while you travel with your second passport to country B.
It’s also useful if you have a need to travel to two different countries which, should agents of either country discover a visa to the other country and take exception, could get you jailed or worse.
Exhibit A: separate passports to go to Israel and virtually all other Middle East countries.
I should add: I have several friends who have separate Canadian passports for exactly the reason I’ve stated above. I also have others who have separate passports for the Cuban trips versus their trips to the U.S.
So clear this up for me- since the Crown still owns Canada, are Canadian citizens free to travel to the UK, and vice versa w/o a passport?
Nope.
And the Crown doesn’t “own” Canada; certainly not since Patriation in 1982. The Queen is still the titular HoS.
No, they are separate sovereigns…But still part of the commonwealth. the UK doesn’t own them, they are not subjects of the crown, but they have ties. Many people could have dual citizenship if they wanted (depending on their age/status etc).. My status for Canada goes back to WWII and would allow me to claim Canadian citizenship though my Grandfather’s service in the RAF. My Father did claim his at the time.
I’m eligible for British citizenship via my father’s side of the family; never bothered to follow up on it. Being a “dualie” has advantages, but also certain disadvantages.
No. Though I think Commonwealth citizens have some special rules with respect to visas (where required) for the UK.
The Crown of Canada and the United Kingdom are separate even though they are held by the same person.
It is available for major travelers (especially pilots & aircrew) to have multiple passports. Some countries require that their VISA be put in the actual passport before traveling (meaning you have you mail it to the embassy etc.. )

And I had no idea he ran a GoFundMe Page For Fired FBI Agent Peter Strzok Raises $130,000 In 10 Hours
It was either that or try to get a gallery opening with Hunter Biden.
Plus, Trump had 2 expired passports and a diplomatic passport (I wager all former presidents get those).
One of those expired passports surely overlapped the diplomatic passport before expiration.
Yeah, I think I have three expired ones in my possession (and should have another, but it was lost). Heck, my 18 year old has 3, since kids’ books last only 5 instead of 10 years.
“And why does he have two passports?”
A regular blue one, and a red diplomatic one. Ya feckin’ moron.
Let me tell you, CPRM is not a gracious host to Minnesodans.
Which is sad because Fourscore didn’t turn him away when he showed up for the HH in his grundies and a t-shirt.

I keep telling you that reversible grundies are a sketchy idea at best. But when you insisted on using that material that had brown stripes on it, it went completely off the rails.
I figured you ‘sconies wore jorts. But, you gotta take ’em off, now and then.

Liz Cheney got rolled in Wyoming. We knew it would be bad, it was worse. Trump rules the GOP. Worse, he’s convinced most Republicans to disbelieve the truth that he lost the election.
Regardless of the political mugging she suffered yesterday, Cheney is a truth-telling hero.
“Trump rules the GOP”
I dont think the author realizes that the GOP hates Trump almost as much as the DNC. Our DeepState® hates him the most because he shined some light on what the FedGov may be up to.
Matt Farah over at Car & Driver makes a compelling case for plug-in hybrids.
I’ve driven most of the EVs on the market, and while I’m not convinced EVs will save the planet, they are very nice to drive, smooth and quiet, especially in traffic, and they do improve local urban air quality. But I am suggesting we stop talking about “range anxiety,” because that term is somewhat inaccurate. Now that many EVs are capable of 250 miles or more per charge, it’s really not the range we’re anxious about. It’s the public charging experience, which is dreadful. I can do math from station to station. I’m not anxious about range. I’m anxious about the very realistic possibility of arriving at a station and finding it crowded, working at a speed far below advertised, or, all too frequently, inoperable.
Rather than “range anxiety,” I’ve started to say “Public Charging Anxiety,” because I’d like to charge in public about as much as I’d like to poop in public: as little as possible, and only when I have no other option.
I’d prefer to buy a means of transport that doesn’t involve *any* sort of anxiety, thanks.
I’ll consider an EV when it takes as much time to fill a gas tank as it does to charge a battery.
Yeah, and Ohm’s Law basically dictates that truly rapid charging will probably always be a pipe dream.
Its electronics ‘theory’ duh
Be careful saying that, they might put restricter plates on gas pumps so they’re as slow as charging…
Range. Don’t forget comparable range under all weather conditions.
Just wait for someone to build something like this but for a car charger.
Soo, basically, whichever mode you drive, you carry around the dead weight of the other mode’s propulsion system. Sounds about right.
Hybrids and certainly stuff like braking regeneration, etc. make a certain amount of sense to me from a “don’t waste the energy of the fuel!” perspective… but:
+ what type of battery is used and how much energy does it cost to make it? To deal with it at end-of-life? Is it an increased hazmat situation in a wreck? What’s the state going to bill you to deal with that, typically?
+ Is it going to need an all aluminum or other light weight systems like full EVs? And what’s the relative energy costs there versus the steel frame of a typical gas car?
and of course
+ What’s the up-front delta in price, and how long would it take to amortize?
One big benefit to my current car (beyond 500 mile highway range reliably and knowing any gas station will do in a pinch) is *it is paid for*. Maintenance is a fairly known quantity at this point (being a 2003, I’m pretty sure I’ve dealt with most of the wear and tear normal issues and know how to work on it for the basics and all), so it isn’t really costing much per month, so what would be my benefit?
I don’t have friends who run on 100% unleaded smug, so no gain from keeping up appearances of genuflecting to the weather goddess or anything…
The hybrids are not worth it. My C-Max hybrid has a curb weight of 3500 pounds it has to throw around whenever I want to accellerate, whether that be via electric or gas motor. Regenerative braking is only going to get so much of that energy back, and with a milage of only about 38 mpg, a lightweight ICE-only car with even the same ICE engine would do a lot better. Take out the battery pack, the electric motors, etc, drive it on the ICE engine it’d probably be quite zippy and efficient.
Another question: What’s the energy footprint of manufacturing a new car for me, rather than me driving around my notoriously reliable vehicle for years and years?
Huge
https://www.thegreenage.co.uk/tech/environmental-footprint-electric-cars/
Read it and they seem to honestly highlight the increased production footprint, toxic batteries, and the arduous task to recycle them…then realize at the end “but you should still get one!”
It’s funny to think these are the sort of people who spent the last half century mocking Christianity’s “God of the gaps”.
I thought Q was the God of the gaps.
EVs are the ultimate NIMBY car
PHEV’s have terrible EV range… They are in the fleet for CAFE points. The benefit of the hybrid is that you can put in a much smaller ICE motor and supplement the Zoom via battery. People want their cars to accelerate, and 80% of the time that small battery will take care of the problem, give you that efficient motor and mask the power problems. But take a trip in the rockies and you will find that you end up in the right hand lane going 30 MPH trying to get your Prius over Vail pass after climbing for 4 hours and the battery is empty. you now only have the lower ICE power and it was enough to keep you at highway speeds when level, but not climbing..
the weight and cost?.. run the numbers for your yearly travel… it takes quite a high fuel cost and a low hybrid margin to make the $ work. I don’t think it did for me when I drove 30,000 miles a year and gas was at $5/gal last time. It really is just social signaling.
The mild hybrid makes some economic and functional sense. It’s a low capacity 48V battery and motor that only activates for the initial few feet of acceleration from stop. It also can operate fully electric during stop and go traffic and regenerate during breaking.
The cells are small and the battery and motor are as well, so the weight penalty is minimal. This is good for ~10% increase in city mileage and it provides a strong pull of the line.
Dang. That’s a lot of money.
Keep in mind MSRP was less than 23K in 1992.

Fortunately I’m spared seeing any of the political ads because I definitely legitimately stream and certainly do not pirate my television content.
Also, have you noticed how every governor of this state, regardless of party, looks like a mob attorney straight out of central casting?
Shit. Just got back from putting our old dog down.
Dam, JI, sorry to hear that.
Me too. 🙁
+1. It’s ridiculous how painful it is losing the 4 legged friends.
Dammit.
Sorry, JI. 4 weeks ago for us.
How old was your pup?
Almost 15. He was down to a shell of himself and he couldn’t stand on his own today – that was the sign.
Exactly the same. Max was 2 weeks shy of 15, but couldn’t get up on his own and I had to support him while he walked. It was time.
You’re a good man for not making the poor boy suffer.
Oof, sorry to hear.
That’s a tough one, I know.
Sorry to hear. FIL just had to do the same this past weekend. Never fun.
So sorry JI.
You have my condolences. I’ve been through it too many times.
But as I read here once- ” any sorrow shared is halved; a joy shared is doubled”
Around here, that sorrow is sliced into little pieces – thanks all for the love.
Ugh. That’s terrible. Dogs are wonderful.
Sorry.
Sorry JI
Sorry JI.
Sorry. 🙁
Terrible news. My condolences.
So sorry to hear. It’s the most painful best thing you can do for a beloved friend and companion when they’ve reached the end.
I’m so sorry. It’s a heartbreaking decision, but better than letting them suffer.
Shoot JI,
I’m sorry for you loss. Loosing a dog is tough.
Sorry man, we are still reeling from a year ago.
Our old girl went just shy of two years ago.
Fortunately, our remaining two are young, 2 and 4, so we should be spared this shit for a few years.
Sorry 🙁
Sorry JI. We took our little puppers in May and it still hurts. Still look down thinking she’s there.
Right? I did that for months after I lost my two kitties a couple years ago.
Sorry to hear that, always tough times.

Then they ruined my life when they put the One True Flavor back. I now cannot stop eating them.
DAMN YOU SKITTLES!
I haven’t had a bag of Skittles in so long I had no idea they had swapped out lime for green apple. That’s a travesty.
I ate pounds of Skittles when I was a kid, but then when I got braces put on I got out of the habit.
My daughter is crazy for them. I don’t see the attraction. I grew up liking Zero bars.
Citric acid, dude. Some of us just love citric acid.
Tangy flavors and gummy/jelly textures were always my jam. Starburst, Mamba Fruit Chew, Skittles, Sour Punch Straws, sour gummy worms and bears, Swedish fish, that kind of thing. One year we had a big kiddie Halloween party for me and my friends, and my mom got a lot of complaints that it was all “cheap candy” and no chocolate.
Oh God I was addicted to Starburst for years.
They committed the same sin as Skittles by getting rid of lime.
You can buy the hard stuff (pure crystals) at any health food store and online.
oh yeah that’s what I’m talkin’ ’bout…
Mix a few skittles into a bowl of M&Ms and watch the fun begin.
That’s kinda twisted.
I like it.
You’re a monster
I imagine it would be a bit like a tootsie roll pop
You forgot the Reese’s pieces.
If you haven’t listened to the latest Malice episode with Barnes, you really should.
I knew the Alex Jones court case was bad, but holy shit, the outright corruption is completely over the top.
Summary anywhere?
They’re criminalizing dissent. The entire case is based on people being offended and not actual damages.
I haven’t dug into it at all, but that’s has been my question re: Jones – what was the damage that needs remedying?
They’re traumatized by his speech. Emotional distress.
Not joking.
In the Connecticut case that’s ongoing, an FBI agent is one of the plaintiffs. Ponder that one. A law enforcement agent can sue you because they don’t like your depiction of an event. Not defamation, not libel, they’re disturbed by it.

I received an email at work inquiring if I might be interested in working on a project involving wind energy kites because I deal with wire ropes and have a PE. Coming government grant’s were the enticement.
For those of you into free streaming services for music, Alberta’s own donor-funded CKUA Radio has started up an “on-demand” streaming service so that you can listen to whatever programs tickle your fancy, no longer bound to the daily or weekly schedules. This means that I’m presently listening to Peter Boyer’s “Balance of Power” orchestral works on Mark Antonelli’s “Classic Examples” program which normally airs Monday – Thursday at 8:00-10:00 PM local.
Delightful! And CKUA’s definitely got something for everyone, so enjoy!

Now that is some fine journalism right there! Nice job editor. I hope Hoppe Pilat sues
That’s weird.

I Wish We All Could Leave California Now.
Well crafted. Reminds me of the old Remy videos before Reason lost their sense of humor along with their collective mind.
Thirty grand for that Volvo wagon, and it doesn’t even have an LS.
There is one sitting at a shop not too far away. It’s one of the hideous gold special edition models. i stopped and asked if it was for sale. Sgt Schultz (Probably the owner’s wife) at the “customer service” window stonewalled me. It belongs to the owner. It doesn’t run. He’s going to fix it up. No he won’t sell it as is.
Yeah, okay, I can take no for an answer. He probably wants some absurd amount of money for it.
Mean while, there is a MkI Rabbit convertible with a for sale sign in the window. I might stop and ask.
I was at a dealership for service this morning. The showroom was empty except for 2 giant SUVs. The one with a sticker was $86k and got 16 mpg on the highway.
All the dealers in our area still have empty lots aside from a few overpriced vehicles. Now you to in test drive a vehicle and order it…I hope this is the beginning of the death blow to dealer projection laws.
Ughh autocorrect. *Go in to test drive. *Death blow to dealer protection laws.
I bet it snaps back in year and they have cars they can’t sell.
Auto loans are imploding and it will get worse. It’s the subprime bubble all over again with even less valuable assets.
I’m biding my time for an opportunity.
Yeah. My car is at the point where I’m deferring repairs on it (over $1,000 to make sure the window works? I’ll just leave it up), and I’ve been half hardheartedly looking for a replacement, but the prices are just too high now.
Cash may indeed be king a year from now (though I hope not, ’cause it implies a lot of other things that will be bad, bad, bad…).
I’m thinking this time next year for me. I’m keeping the GTI though.
I’m betting on excess new car inventory by then. Couple things have caught my eye.
Here’s hoping, though our 2012 RAV4 keeps chuggin’ along…
I’ve never seen a car that comes with a long snapper.

Bailey is a true believer in technocracy.
He simply cannot acknowledge that centralized management will not work.
He was on the pro-lockdown side at FreedomFest 2021’s mock trial on lockdowns.
Though, to be fair to him, he did say that lockdowns were only justified early on. Later they were unjustified.
I remember when he used to read and reply to comments on his articles and get assblasted and leave in a huff when people would point out that he has no science background. Good times.
When the whole lockdown mask panic shit was first happening I decided to venture over to Reason for the first time in a long while to see what Big Libertarian had to say about it. Let’s just say I haven’t been back since.
Bailey’s schtick is trying to distance himself from his redneck roots by cozying up to the “smart people.”
The reality is he’s just a useful idiot.
I had my arguments with him and he would simply refuse to acknowledge contrary evidence.
He’d fit in perfectly in my ancestral homeland (France). Every government they’ve had since WWII has been essentially technocratic at their core.
Today in you get more of what you encourage.
Bit long but the subtitle sums it up nicely:
And apparently, we’ve been down this road before. Americans rejected it, so the grifter set found ways around it and made it worse by rewarding not only junkies but violent criminals with free housing.
And right now we in Cali are being deluged with ads already for the “Tax the Crap out of Sports Betting To Solve Homelessness! Wait, no, stop laughing, the indian tribes all want this! You love indigenous people right? and solving homelessness, right? With another 23663738 Billion we can solve homelessness AND help the the sad little tribal girl with the barefeet! Do you want her to die? Vote YES on Proposition whatever it is!” (which miraculously passed the threshold of signatures required to get on the ballot while LA County rejected 30 percent of theirs to recall Gascon’s weaselly ass, how amazing)
When I was there, it was a proposition every ten damn minutes. No wonder the assholes are broke.
They still haven’t gotten rid of Prop 13 though and that really chafes the progs’ asses.
The last effort was really spectacularly deceptive – it was written so that no meant yes, in terms of getting rid of it. It failed too.
The result of repealing it would be to instantly create tens of thousands of elderly homeless.
The progs truly hate people.
Been a busy day and I get online to find out that Stelter has lost his job? First Cheney and now this…what’s the world coming to? It’s like freaking double Christmas.
