Test?
Good morning!!!
Hello?
It’s alive!!! 😃
Morning, Banjos.
SQUIRRELS!
Yup.. today’s honorary music link, I think.
They were too busy working to hide the real criminality of the Bidens, Clintons and Obamas and their influence on the US bureaucratic juggernaut, to…
Ding ding ding! You are correct sir!
Johnny, tell him what he’s won that’s in the box coming down the aisle right now!
No reasonable prosecutor.
…exists.
California is uniquely _____________, all right.
Good luck, CA power grid.
Good luck, CA aerial wildlife.
No problem. Batteries as far as the eye can see.
At a job 10 years ago we were looking at a project to add charging stations to our IoT platform. The guy from the charging station company basically said that a charging station is the equivalent of a new house being added to the grid.
So Joe’s plan to add a new charging station every 50 miles of road (minimum) is gonna be awesome
What, you mean a power grid that’s already known for rolling black/brownouts is going to easily accommodate millions of new electric vehicles? I’m sure all of the gas stations that already exist there will be given grants to convert over to charging stations, right?
Naw, they’ll be fined for the costs of tearing the storage tanks out of the ground, which will be done against their will, and some connected company will get the contract to add charging stations to the spot, which will not work, because being functional was not a requirement of the contract.
They’ll get to use the gas storage tanks to power the generators for the electric cars . . .at a small fee of course.
There is no way you will be able to charge your car on demand. People in your zipcode can only charge on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Only the right people will be approved to own a car….
Just means more desert in Nevada and Arizona will be littered with solar farms and windmills.

‘It was heartbreaking!’: Hillary Clinton LOSES legal knowledge quiz in head-to-head with Kim Kardashian 11-4 during episode of former first lady’s Gutsy documentary
Partially explains why she broke the law so often.
She is evil?
And why she kept flunking the DC Bar exam.
Was Hillary distracted by Kim’s posterior? Huma’s getting long in the tooth, why shouldn’t Hill be able to trade up too?
Why does Hillary need to know anything about the law? Every time she breaks 1000s of useful idiots rush to protect and excuse her.

Noticed that Michael Badnarik died recently. Was during the period I drifted away from big L but always seemed like a decent sort of chap. Relatively young too. RIP.
Last LP prez candidate I could support fully, without some sort of half-hearted vote.
Was he the one that ran on the winning see were totally not a bunch of nutjobs let’s jail anyone who worked for the IRS platform, or was that Browne?
I don’t remember that, I remember his tall fence/wide gate immigration policy. Super easy to immigrate, shoot on sight anyone crossing border illegally.
Browne wanted to sell federal lands to privatize social security.
He had a heart attack in 2009, so he got another 13 years after that.
Still young, but not a surprise, I guess.
Morning Banjos… not looking forward to what the CARB tyrants put out. What bugs me more is that one reporting on this I saw claims it isn’t just sales, but *licensing* of gas cars that will be banned. Which would mean all the existing non-EVs become undriveable. Of course, the idiots in charge will almost certainly have run the state (and the country given the unconstitutional President Poopy Pants junta squad) into the toilet, so we’ll just have to see what’s still around by 2035.
Freaking neo-Malthusian assholes.
That New York life expectancy change was for 2020 — one has to immediately wonder… was that nursing home deaths? Still can’t help but think there are a lot of governments (China, ours, etc.) that are looking at a lot of retiree benefits and upside down demographics that wouldn’t have minded an “elders only” pandemic… funny, that…
The agenda is to make people that can not escape so desperate that anything they are told to do to get the promise of relief from the people in power will simply be accepted without any protest or questioning. Desperation will make most people suck dick even when they do not want to.
If they’re going to blame the plague, the only way that makes sense is if they’re claiming that babies born in NY will get it earlier. I’m not a scientician but I don’t see how already dead people impact that figure. 🤷🏻♂️
Ok — given it was “life expectancy in 2020” I was assuming if X seniors at age 76 drop dead instead of 80 (because they died when COVID swept their nursing home), it would lower the average life expectancy (by chopping down on the high end) for sufficiently large X and all. :shrug: I’m no statistician either… maybe that’s just ludicrous, sorry if so.
Life expectancy is always a voodoo number.
It rolls in these one-time die off events and infant mortality, and people treat it like a drop-dead date.
No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!
I would say that this should be taken for granted, but it can’t be in modern America.
Well, it’s “rare” if that makes you feel better.
Rare but not flat out not a crime. The state of American jurisprudence. Sad.
I had to read it about three times before I could believe some authority actually said that.
Consider Alex Jones’ case, where he summarily deemed guilty because he did not produce incriminating documents.
“These documents don’t exist.”
“Yes they do, because we know you’re guilty.”
And guilty of what? Being a loon or acting like one? The Sandy Hooky families suffered zero pain or emotional distress from Jones except what they’ve inflicted upon themselves. Leaving aside how they’ve used their dead children as props to take away my rights. Not just 2A but 1A now. Fuck the lot of them.
Is it that exactly what they strung Flynn up for?
Sounds like being arrested for resisting arrest.
“Democrats attempt to buy votes for the Midterms”
This is far worse. This proves the democratic party has become the party of the urban college educated useless douchebag. They are basically going to funnel a ton of tax payers to maintain a system currently under heavy attack – the failing college education system – because it servers their purpose of brainwashing idiots into marxists. And they are going to do this, without batting an eye, by making people that avoided this money pit and indoctrination trap, or that had the wherewithal to avoid becoming slaves to the state’s money lending apparatus, to pay for their largesse.
This is basically Tocqueville’s warning that America would be the shining example on the mountain until the political class decided to drop all pretense and go full steam ahead using the treasury to buy votes.
Is this bread or circuses?
Yes.
They’re done with bread and circuses. This is the boot.
Well, I find it neither satisfying nor entertaining, so…why not neither?
If I was a plumber, electrician, mechanic, contractor, etc., I’d ask any jackass who tried to hire me if they had $10K of student loans forgiven. If the answer was yes, my estimate would increase by $10K.
It would be nice to see the working classes actually unite and start telling these wannabee dukes, earls and princes to fuck off.
Good thing I called Dibs on being God-Emperor then.
Yup…
They are basically fucking over their political enemies – and the country – to rig another election… Anyone pointing this out will soon end up banned..
What? That would never happen.
I’ve been seeing that this is just another Wall Street bailout akin to 08. I don’t know much about finance, but I imagine the holders of these debts were getting scared they wouldn’t make as much money as they expected.
I’m glad I don’t live in NY, with the decline in longevity.
The next prez will have a bigger pen and telephone. Congress can take a permanent vacation.
Will Trump wear this to his inauguration in 2025?
If he did, I’d sign a petition to replace Teddy on Mt. Rushmore with OMB.
Here’s a depressing read in which I can find nothing I disagree with.
Jim Quinn: The Fading Smile Of A Dying Empire
That empire is being murdered by the people that profited from it in a desperate move to leave them on top of the pile again in a new global order they hope they can use to maintain the status quo between the aristocracy (them) and the serfs (the rest of us).
I’ve been listening to Tom Luongo lately. He’s calling it a war between the central banks and we’re the ants getting stomped on.
One one side, you have the zombie European banks and a few American counterparts like BofA, and on the other you have the Fed and JP Morgan Chase and a few others.
His hypothesis is that the Fed will raise rates faster than expected, which will destroy the ECB that is desperate for higher gold prices as their physical reserves are all they have left. If the ECB goes, the EU goes with it and the Davos crowd is done, along with all the old European money that survived multiple world wars and everything else. The Europeans are therefore motivated to get us to devalue the dollar through stimulus spending and idiotic foreign policies like we’re pursuing in Ukraine.
It’s an interesting lens to look at the situation through. I’m not fully convinced yet, but in general if you can give me a money-oriented explanation for the insanity I’m at least willing to entertain it.
It’s a simple thing I can explain with a quick analogy:
The country right now is the Titanic right after it had a fatal collision with an iceberg. The crew knows their ineptitude cause the crash, and worse, they have no clue how to do damage control to save the ship. So instead they have opted to distract the passengers by playing deck games on the starboard side, while they go about looting all the valuables, loading them into the functioning life rafts on the port side, and prepare to abandon ship – with all the lucre – before the passengers realize how bad they have been fucked over because the life rafts on the starboard side are all also compromised.
Well, the Euro is now slightly below parity with the US dollar, for whatever that’s worth.
Summary or snippets? That site is awful.
Yeah, a dumpster fire. My browser’s reader view to the rescue.
Oh, and yeah, depressing shit.

Biden’s student loan handout to cause spike in college tuitions, experts say
The Bee is on it.
Look up what Ford did to their EV line a few days after the More inflation bill gave away $7.5K tax break to people buying EVs: their product line all saw an increase of about $8.5K.
The one sure fire way to fix a price or have the price go up while the value goes down, is to have government pay for or subsidize that something.
Tesla did the same thing a few months ago.
I saw that SWATting yesterday, it was reported as a “prank call.”
If you can get ventilated as a result, it’s no longer considered a prank.
I support attempted murder charges for people who sic the swat team on others.
I think that’s fair. Certainly reckless endangerment at a minimum.
So, is Pie missing because he is not allowed to use electricity today?
He was here before the server troubles.
You sure the server troubles were not caused by Euro rationing of power that caused Pie’s connection to break things, huh?
Pie is not missing the site was out of whack
Vampirshi can not be defeated?
And Pie has an article coming up at 1100 on Tuesday.
We should give him the whole day on March 14th.

Yes. It is my favorite Steve Martin movie. The second would be “The Man With Two Brains”.

‘Disturbing’: Experts troubled by Canada’s euthanasia laws
Free healthcare…
Government healthcare means you have gotten away from people that feel they provide a service they should be able to make a profit doing to people that use it as a weapon against their enemies…
Those experts must not be bioethicists if they’re disturbed by it.
The Democratic People’s Republic of Canukistan is going all the way…
Mrs. TOK was having a nice day yesterday so I tried to shield her from the student loan thing. But she found out and was as livid as I was. In our family, we’re seeing two things. My two sisters, who have advanced nursing degrees and are making 6 figures, will have some of their loans “forgiven”. And Mrs. TOK”s step sister, who has $80k in debt from a useless fine arts degree (she works at Target) is ecstatic that she’ll get a $20k handout. Meanwhile I went to a local college and had no loans, and the Mrs. spent 20 years paying hers off.
They are punishing the people that are independent by design… Their message is that you should just stop trying and let government do things for you (and also tell you what you are allowed to do or not)….
I would have qualified for the $10k when I had student loans except that I spent every spare dollar I had paying them off as fast as possible. Fuck me, right?
*Insert “what an idiot” meme*
I would have been eligable for $20k, except I paid mine off in 2017.
If you haven’t, go read the Chump Effect article that was linked in yesterday’s afternoon links. If you need it, I can probably dig it up as well.
I read it yesterday, in fact.
[insert “chump effect” article here]
I’m still not getting thr Pell Grant 20K thing. Or is this for the idiots who took the grant and dropped out and now are on the hook?
It’s a proxy for people that were disadvantaged financially, ie. someone that qualified for Pell Grants at the time.
“Yoga to the People owners are arrested by FBI for ‘$20M tax scam which saw them collect cash from students in TISSUE BOXES then blow the money on travel, horse riding and NFL tickets without declaring it to the IRS'”

This is my shocked face.
The real crime is that they didn’t give Uncle Sam his vig.
Who ratted them out?
Someone who wanted the cut the IRS gives to “informants”?
Are those names published?
I honestly don’t know on that. I believe this is the full rules and regulations on it. I’m not seeing any references to publishing names or keeping secrets, so it’s probably a very solid maybe.
Unredacted memo reveals why DOJ didn’t prosecute Trump

I’m just a big dumb smooth brain that melts stuff together for a living, but maybe if “SWATting is a national epidemic” then that just shows that law enforcement isn’t doing enough to vet the calls before going in.
Why would you deny them the thrill of getting their cowboy on?
Just say there’s a mass shooter killing children in your home, that way they won’t come inside.
Vet the calls? This is their opportunity to being out the gifted military toys and parade them in the streets. They probably welcome these calls
Apparently cops are the biggest LARPers.
Vet the calls how exactly? Checking the area code on the call doesn’t mean anything when cell phones are ubiquitous. We already say “when seconds count, the police are minutes away,” so having them research phone calls will only further delay responses for real incidents.
The problem is exclusively the idiots making these calls. Prosecute them, hard. In this case a charge of attempted assassination seems appropriate.
I say we go Old Testament on them.

It is a death cult, and they’re not exactly hiding it any more, either.
It appears we’re finally hitting the point where there is a direct, obvious tradeoff between quality of life and the envirocommies goals.
If I don’t have anywhere that I want to live, I don’t give a shit about a 2050 net-zero carbon budget.
Just like drilling would not make a difference in oil for another 10 years, so what good would doing it now do?
Also, the comments under that tweet are a dumpster fire of stupid.

What Minneapolis has taught me is that we need to throw people who advocate crap like that under the trolley.
I just ran across a shining example of how the media and the journalism industry as a whole lies and exaggerates as a matter of course.
I’m reading an article about ownership of data collected from various applications, and the assertion is made that
“some smart speakers have used ‘lidar’ to track physical movements without disclosing as much”
I clicked into the source linked to that claim and it says:
“these devices are acquiring senses beyond hearing – the latest models have cameras, and future ones may use ‘lidar’ sensors”
Clicking down into its source, it reads:
“Several groups of researchers are. . . working on ways to extend smart speakers’ sensory ranges. One such effort is led by [insert names here] of Carnegie Mellon University.. . [they] unveiled their proposal, which they call SurfaceSight, to give smart speakers vision as well as hearing. Their chosen tool is lidar”
So, over two layers of citation it went from “here’s a cool proof of concept cooked up in a research lab” to “your smart speaker is monitoring you with lidar!”
Paste this in as a comment on the article.
“Your comment has been deleted by a moderator.”?
Lol, comment section? What do you think this is? A free exchange of ideas?
It’s from “Boston Review”, which appears to be a commie rag. Of course, it’s the most prominent article on data ownership because commies are who to trust when talking about property ownership.

Being the opposite of Neville Chamberlain is not an improvement.
This is good news. The more equipment our enemy, the US government, sends to Ukraine, the less equipment it has with which to oppress us.

I know someone who is a higher up at the local Army Reserve. They are sending some of his equipment to Ukraine and not replacing it.
What bases are the equipment being taken from? The ones in blue states or red states…
Cause I wouldn’t be at all surprised to find out the agenda here is to disarm red states…
This one was red. But I’d imagine it’s everywhere.
My last AT in the NJ National Guard we watched our tanks get loaded for shipment – to Iraq where they were given to the Iraqi Army. Never replaced.
As long as its not replaced, I’m good with it. We need no more ground forces than necessary to (a) defend our borders and (b) have a cadre of experienced soldiers if we need to ramp up for some reason.
Now, the “as long as its not replaced” is the big question, of course. Will we hit the fiscal wall before that happens? Who knows?
“Also, the late 2020 push from liberal public health elites that persuaded Pfizer to *change* its original protocols – and had the convenient side-effect of delaying any vaccine announcement until after the election – deserves more scrutiny.”

What is a Lisfranc joint injury? A Lisfranc joint injury is a type of injury to the bones or ligaments, or both, in the middle part of your foot. In a Lisfranc joint injury, there is usually damage to the cartilage covering these bones.
Sounds painful. I broke my foot around my big toe. Not pleasant, recovery takes a long time.
But what does the fox say?
A woman from Ithaca, New York was attacked by a rabid fox while she was talking on the phone and smoking outside her home.
The animal crept up on her from behind and bit her several times as she fought it off.
At one point you can see the woman using her hands to fling the animal on the ground.
The incident ended when she stepped on its head and a man came outdoors with a stick to rescue her.
Foxes bark.

Massive expansion of useless make-work pseudo-scholarship seemed relatively harmless until the second decade of the 21st century unleashed the nonsense onto the world

Indeed, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, U.S. Postal Service, Social Security Administration, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and countless other federal agencies also have police divisions.
Another unnecessarily militarized agency, I would argue, is the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
How about abolish them all?
We could send all their weapons and gear to the Ukrainians.
“Sell.” I don’t think they are paying for any of it.
I lost another friend last night, apparently I’ve been blocked.
I am a shitty person and a shitty friend,
A most unhappy birthday, and a good time to quit this madness.
You have a bunch of friends here.
How’s the article on that course you played coming? I didn’t see your reply to me about it until the next morning. Which course is it?
Look up Flip city, article underway right now.
That looks really cool. And some neat disc golf history there. Did you play the Ace course?
We did the 24 hole circuit, big course
That’s great. It looks beautiful and really fun.
Intolerant people are assholes Yusef…
Today your birthday ?
59
Happy birthday! Go golfing. Have a tall can or two.
Offense is taken, not given.
Apparently any time I try to post the site crashes. I hope this one make it through:
Define Yusef’s happiness according to Yusef, not other random people who may turn their backs on you.
If I defined my happiness according to other people’s opinions of me, my political beliefs and excessive frottage would mean I was the most unhappy SOB in the world.
Enough talk! Happy birthday you whippersnapper!

The Marine PI was not my case, although some of my folks wound up in that suit to help fill out the class for the class cert motion.
For those keeping score at home, that’s 3 out of 5 Armed Services now enjoined for flagrant violations of RFRA during the “Great DoD Non-Vaccine Debacle, Part Deux.”
I have a case pending for a Coast Guard class and a colleague is considering filing the Army cert motion.
The Coast Guard has – incredibly – granted even fewer exemptions than all of the other services – 0 that we can find or are aware of.
Evidently, the USCG believes it can convince a judge that it has no one with sufficient religious convictions to rate an exemption from the vaxx.
This all in the face of the CDC’s recent updated guidance that now says there is no difference b/w vaxxed and unvaxxed…. yet the DoD persist because (say it altogether)….
…FYTW.
Keep a close eye on your neighbors, comrade.
Kathy Hochul on viewing social media during background checks for gun purchases:
“Just like in the old days, you talk to someone’s neighbor…and find out whether this person has been spouting philosophies that indicate that they have been radicalized.”
Does it count when govt officials are the ones spouting BS that radicalized me?
Just like in the old days? The old days of East Germany or Mao’s Cultural Revolution?
My thought exactly. That doesn’t sound like the old days in the USA, at all.
She may be the one.
‘Naked and belligerent’ woman, 21, attacks fiancé for refusing to have sex with her
Hawt.
Oh, she’s a keeper.
LOL.
(See, OMWC? This is what I was talking about last night.)
6k bond for slapping and tearing a shirt? Damn Florida….
Apparently she tore a “short”.

That’s where you hike up your lower garment so that the waistband is above your nipples
Likeaso?
Those are awesome.
Should I buy a set for my wife?
Although she could almost do that with my jeans.
If you want a divorce, sure.
A woman is trying to get the NH State Representatives that voted for the session constitutional amendment off the ballot.
The Attorney General’s Office was asked to look into the merits of disqualifying House candidates who supported a constitutional amendment seeking to have New Hampshire secede from the United States, but as the NH Ballot Law Commission prepares to take up the matter at 1 p.m. on Aug. 24, some of those facing disqualification say the answer is clear.
Karen Steele of Atkinson asked the Ballot Law Commission to disqualify 14 individuals from running for office, saying their actions violated Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution, which prohibits those who have engaged in insurrection or rebellion, or given aid or comfort to the enemies of the United States, from holding elective positions.
Steele declined to comment Tuesday night before the Ballot Law Commission meeting Wednesday at the state archives where liberty activists are planning a rally before the meeting.
One of those on the list, Rep. Glenn Bailey, R-Milton, says, “For the 14th amendment to apply at all, those being disenfranchised would have to be first convicted of insurrection or rebellion. If that has happened, I somehow missed that trial.”
She failed.
State representatives advocating for New Hampshire to secede from the union will still be able to run for re-election this fall after the Ballot Law Commission rejected an attempt to bar them from office.
The woman who filed the complaint said in this case, somebody needed to stand up for America.
A 1,000-year flood is not a flood that happens once every 1,000 years
It is a flood that at a particular point in time is estimated to occur with a probability of 0.001
It is not a concept suitable for detection and attribution of climate change

I looked briefly at the comments on TOS a couple days ago. They have turned into some combination of Pat Buchanan, Zerohedge, and Youtube.
I know, it’s my own fault for looking.
