You may recall my link to this story. My take at the time was, wait, how can distributing pamphlets be illegal??? Are we back in the Schenck Universe? What was even more amazing was the the university president here- in a different town and a different county- felt it important to make an official statement and set up counseling for frightened and traumatized students. Holy shit.
Well, here we are several months later, and the Hillel house in our town decided to sponsor a rally and a march to make sure everyone knows that we are OUTRAGED and are coming together as a community to stamp out Hate.
In July 2022, Neo-Nazi literature (with skull and swastika emblems) was distributed to three houses of worship in Hornell targeting a Roman Catholic church, a predominantly black congregation church, and a Jewish synagogue.
• What is our response?
To march in unity to each of the three targeted houses of worship and rededicate them to their sacred purpose of worship.• Why should you participate?
This is an opportunity for us, who are opposed to religious and racial intimidation, to encourage one another by coming out and lending our presence and voice. By participating, you will be saying that Neo-Nazi intimidation is not okay in our community.
“Not okay.” Thank god they cleared THAT up. The march was supposed to start at one of the churches, proceed to the next church, and then end at the synagogue. As you might expect, I’d be more inclined to contribute to a First Amendment defense fund than engage in a moral preening display validating the fright and intimidation caused by these three insignificant trailer park losers dangerous desperados.
During our weekly Shabbat get-together, everyone started planning and arranging transportation and signage. I stayed silent, not wanting to go out of my way to alienate what few Jews we have here, not to mention getting a personally and professionally destructive reputation as a “Nazi sympathizer.” Of course, the questions began. “Why aren’t you going? Don’t you want to protest?” Much ducking, dodging, and in the end, lying. I’ll have to make sure that neither I nor my car are seen around here next weekend since I, ahem, am unfortunately traveling.
I also will not protest today’s birthdays which include my kinda guy; one of our intellectual forefathers; a guy who was a bit of a space cadet; an early victim of police violence; a truly forgettable Chief Justice named after a truly ineffective DA; an exception to the “dynasties suck” rule; Daryl Dragon’s spirit guide; a guy whose career peaked in a monkey suit; an astronaut who didn’t punch anyone– that we know about; a woman who fucked Dustin Hoffman; one more argument in favor of term limits; a mediocrity famous for something or other, maybe hanging out with actual talents; a guy who had more wood than Peter North; and another truly forgettable Supreme.

It’s wonderful to see politicians working so hard to convince the citizenry that our government is a corrupt and retarded enterprise. This is how libertarians are created.

Good Morning, Glibs. This seems too early for links. I’m clearly in the wrong time zone.
Good morning, U! How are you today?
Sluggish in the waking up department, though I did have some story ideas that I just emailed to you.
Got it. Don’t rush the whole “waking up” thing – you’re on vacation!
It’s laundry day. I gotta wash clothes if I want to be clean for the remainder of that vacation. So, that’s what I’m off to do.
I feel like I’m in the wrong time zone in my own house.
That’s what I get for staying up late.

Bom dia and happy saturday, everyone.
No f1 means I have to keep the toddler entertained in other ways this morning. Time to listen to the same 5 songs over and over again while frying up some bacon. It is/was Hatch Season at HEB, so delicious thick cut hatch chili bacon will be done soon. On the song front, I will say the quality and variety of childrens songs is streets ahead of when I was a babe.
Anyone else getting tired of the left getting the absolute vapors about “using human lives for a political stunt”? I frequent reddit a lot, and its just everywhere, how Abbott and DeSantis are literal monsters and traffickers and playing games with peoples lives! The hypocrisy and lack of critical thinking are palpable and rage inducing.
As always, I highly recommend the book and music collections of greeting card artist/children’s (and others’) book author Sandra Boynton. Dog Train is an all-time favorite!
Thanks for the recommendation. She has some big names singing so its bound to be good. I’ll qeueueueue some up in youtubemusic and check it out.
We go to a music class every week called KinderMusik that has a bunch of fun little ear worm songs. Hes also hooked on Songs for Littles and super simple songs. Weve been lucky to avoid cocomelon and baby shark.
If your little is a typical toddler and doesn’t want to lie down midday even when getting cranky, this stirring anthem is absolutely a must! (I love this one SO MUCH!!)
Could always subscribe to F1TV and go through an archive. The 2016 season is always fun to watch again.
Pay no attention to the practices of the Democratic party for the last 75 years or so behind the curtain.
And re: the “human trafficking” — unless these same people were complaining about the Biden Midnight Flights to Georgia (and every other state) sprinkling illegal immigrants through rural and suburb communities, I’ll immediately tune them out. Since most of the instances of this I’ve seen have them denying Biden did any such thing and ignoring the plethora of coverage even from the Lefty side, I dismiss them as the Hordes of Landru they are.
Honest question when Biden etal were shipping migrants/illegals did they simply dump them off at the airport or bus depot or were they sent to places with resources to get them settled, find housing, get work etc. If so isn’t that a bit of an important distinction.
As for the lefts hypocrisy, just because they too use people for political stunts doesn’t mean they’re wrong about DeSantis and Abbot.
https://news.yahoo.com/psaki-confirms-illegal-immigrants-being-185839952.html implies they were sent to places with known relatives or sponsors, so not simply dumped off.
Politicians doing political stunts? Yeah… ducks also swim in water. If the reports are true and these folks are signing consent forms and know exactly where they’re going and agreed to it and all, I don’t really have a problem with their destinations serving a political purpose as well for DeSantis and Abbot.
They sent kids to people without even checking their identity.
Which they? If the current round did, that’s certainly a good reason to call for them doing better, sure.
The current administration hired a security company to do it.
I think misses the point DeSantis and Abbott are making (though it does capture the stupid online debate). The governors’ point is they are being overrun. They don’t want the illegal immigrants and want the feds to enforce the law. Since there are jurisdictions that openly flaunt the law and claim to welcome the illegal immigrants, they are sending them where they are welcome.
That’s the way I interpret it.
These are places flaunting the law and saying welcome.
psst!: flout
sorry…
Yes… but thinking about it still works.

“Because I believe the First Amendment applies to even the scummiest people on earth. I don’t condone their message whatsoever, but the Constitution guarantees them a right to it.”
I would go with “Personally, I don’t believe a few simpletons’ idiocy in any way diminishes a place of worship or any community. It is obvious no one is actually intimidated, so why give them any of the attention they obviously seek?”
I mean — from a First Amendment perspective, they had their say — the marchers are having theirs, there isn’t a repression per se, just a rejection of the message. Said rejection is hugely overblown and elevates the stupidity of the first message far beyond its merit, is all. :shrug:
That is almost exactly my take. Why give them power that they don’t otherwise have? Laughter is more appropriate.
Didn’t you get the memo? 1A is racist, transphobic and colonialist or something.
Part of me really, really wishes that hyperdimensional theory and alternate timelines were true and that we could develop a transdimensional viewer just to show these morons the world that no Western Civilization would look like. I strongly suspect their Utopia of communal living with no punctuality or work ethic or whatever else they subscribe to evil European influence wouldn’t be at all a pretty sight.
My first guess would be Chinese hegemony — but honestly, China usually doesn’t give a crap as long as the rest of the world kowtows to it. I doubt they’d really bother (much like the Treasure Fleet ended up). The Americas wouldn’t be very pretty at a guess.
I see that this is your first time visiting a small college town.

I went down the youtube rabbit hole listening to Kirk after one of your links to him last year. That’s when I realized I had been listening to a cover of one of Kirk’s songs for years and didn’t know it. It turns out one of my favorite guitar players, Derek Trucks, was heavily influenced by Kirk and other jazz musicians of the time. He recorded it on one of his early albums.
Here’s a live version of the Kirk song from a show I was at a couple years ago. I think this show was the night before I almost met the legendary SP and yourself. The whole show is fantastic. They were on fire that night. Song 13 if it doesn’t pop up in the link. Also some nice flute playing in song 15. I love Bonnie’s cover of this song, but I think Susan does it better.

This is exactly how I wound up “defending a clinic” one summer when Operation Rescue was busy in Buffalo.
I felt really stupid there because really I didn’t give a damn one way or the other.
Before clicking the link, I assumed you meant abortion clinic and I was confused why a gay man would do that when the only reason men go to those is to get laid.
Even in the early nineties the gay “community” was just assumed to be on board with every lefty topic. Not to mention the “college student” community.

“A judge has barred Wagner and her spouse–who has not been charged–from having any contact with the children”
If he’s not being charged, why is the husband not allowed to see the children?
Despicable story tho.
Probably some deal that allows child services to investigate and make a recommendation with no charges.
I assume it’s got some kinds of limits and language that state regularly ignores.
And speaking of simpletons and idiocy — ‘Orning ‘Ordle of Pain (for me, anyway)…. first round was decent enough, which must have lulled me into a false sense of security — because Chumptown, your Dictator For Life is back in town!

It is a good thing that Atlanta exists. It is also good that I am far away from it.
Meh…. I much preferred the communities along GA 400 *before* Atlanta metastasized up along it. I doubt I’ll retire where I planned to unless my parents make it to my retirement (which seems statistically unlikely), rather will probably seek something in NE Alabaman or something to try to stay away from Atlanta, Chattanooga and Birmingham as best I can.
“Tucker Carlson on Friday night mocked the residents of Martha’s Vineyard for their response to the arrival of 50 Venezuelan migrants, and pointed out that the $43,000 raised in a GoFundMe was not even going directly to those affected…

“Facebook has reversed a decision to ban advertising of a Holocaust film entitled Beautiful Blue Eyes – having initially argued that the title violated their policy on racially-offensive names.
The title refers to the eye color of a child who died at the hands of the Nazis, and invokes a key scene in the movie.
Yet Facebook in early September banned the showing of the trailer on their site, saying it ran contrary to their policy against content that ‘includes direct or indirect assertions or implications about a person’s race,’ among other personal attributes.
It is still unclear how the film’s title violated the race policy, given that blue eyes are not exclusive to only one race.”

Taking money under false pretenses
If you ask Iowa farmer Robb Ewoldt about the federal dollars he’s received over the last few years to help make his land more sustainable, it’s clear he’s a big fan.
“It works out really well in our operation,” says Ewoldt, who farms corn and soybeans on “just shy of 2,000 acres” near Davenport, Iowa. “We see tremendous benefits in conservation, water quality and carbon sequestration.”
—–
The government’s conservation programs are meant to bolster farmers’ response to climate change, as Ewoldt and others like him are forced to confront worsening droughts on the one hand, and unprecedented rainfall and flooding on the other. But even with billions more in federal assistance on the way, there is little sign the massive infusion of money from Democrats’ recently passed Inflation Reduction Act will reshape politics in the solidly Republican state of Iowa, nor move the dial for farmers in other rural areas where the GOP maintains a seemingly irreversible foothold.
Those filthy whores. That’s just like stealing.
Buy votes harder.
Now do the CIA black sites in Ukraine. – I think some of these were rumored to be in Romania as well 10 years ago but I am sure not any more
Well, they are rather hard to see. It’s not like they put sign out front.
Ewoldt, who accepts climate change and says farmers “need to do things to mitigate it,” acknowledges that his farming practices have “allowed my soil to hold more water during drought conditions.”
The additional government funding is a good thing, he says. But Ewoldt’s congressional representative, Mariannette Miller-Meeks, sided with her fellow Republicans in unanimously rejecting the Inflation Reduction Act. “Now is not the time to pass a $740 billion spending bill, let alone one filled with partisan priorities,” she said in a statement.
Ewoldt plans to vote for her anyway.
“I know her,” he says. “And there’s other things that come into it besides the economics.”
But if you’re not with us, you’re against us. They should require those farmers to bring in proof they voted Democrat as part of the application process.
Give it time.
Sad.

Good question.
Shit like that affirms for me that there is still a place for the death penalty.
I don’t even know how to pronounce that name.
“There were no rallies, marches, or protests in honor of Eliza Fletcher or Brianna Kupfer. No one bothered to organize a commemorative riot, or even host an honorary CVS looting in their names. No Target was ceremoniously burned to the ground in her honor. No one screamed “SAY HER NAME!” at a candlelight vigil attended by weeping mayors and city officials. No t-shirts were printed up with their faces on them. The President and Vice President stayed silent. Nancy Pelosi did not kneel for two minutes in silence in the halls of congress. No one held a press conference and said, “Brianna Kupfer looked like she could be my daughter.”
Identity politics is pure poison. What evidence is there that the George Floyd incident was motivated by race?
Um, the kneeler was white and Saint George wasn’t. Case closed.
That’s a nice kick in the bawls.

At the risk of sounding like John Derbyshire, is there a black-run city in the country that isn’t ineptly / corruptly governed?
I can’t think of any white-run large cities that aren’t ineptly and corruptly governed, either.
Sandy Springs, Georgia begs to differ.
Buckhead is trying to join Sandy Springs in its exodus from Atlanta. Whether they’ll succeed in seceding or not is anyone’s guess.

Same. Seems to be the main correlating factor.
Just steer clear of MLK Boulevard and your chances of being brutally murdered will drop by two thirds.

Avoid any Peachtree Street, Boulevard, Avenue, etc. and any street that intersects them and you’ll definitely be fine as well.
And yeah, I’m with OMWC — San Diego used to seem at least semi-competently run, but they’ve gone down the crapper over the last few years I believe. I can’t think of any major metro area that doesn’t seem inept off the top of my head — and corruption is just a given.

Saving the planet
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed a sweeping package of climate legislation into law on Friday, aiming to accelerate the Golden State’s transition to clean energy.
Among the long list of initiatives to receive gubernatorial approval were measures to cut air pollution by 60 percent and reduce state oil consumption by 91 percent over the next two decades, according to the governor’s office.
Within the same time frame, the bills intend to save California $23 billion by avoiding damages caused by pollution, reduce fossil fuel use in buildings and transportation by 92 percent and slash refinery pollution by 94 percent.
“We could talk about the way the world should be and protest it, or we can actually make demonstrable progress — and we took the latter approach here,” Newsom said at a press conference Friday morning on Mare Island, in Solano County northeast of San Francisco.
——-
The advancement of the bills constitutes “an essential piece” of the governor’s California Climate Commitment — a $54 billion action plan that aims to create 4 million jobs, according to Newsom’s office.
The governor described this step as “the most aggressive action on climate our nation has ever seen,” in a statement released ahead of the signing.
I would like to be able to shrug my shoulders and say, “They’re getting what they voted for, good and hard” except California’s lunacy bleeds out into the rest of the country.
Like gas cans you can barely get gasoline out of (or into), and all the idiots in all the states who outsource their auto regs to CARB.
It’s achievable if they reduce the population by 91%. I’d say they’re on track to meet the goals.
My goodness, they’d be stupid NOT to vote for that. I mean, if there’s anything California is good for, it’s saving money.

I think you can search for “pectoral muscle” in the comments because I think I mentioned the procedure

This week or earlier? I’ll find them. When it comes to tits, I don’t mess around.
Found.
She’s got a pretty killer body in general, but the implants were a great move IMO (though you probably already knew that). Looks like they were done well, solid work.
they feel pretty good too almost made me change my opinion on fake boobs… almost
That’s cause they were done sub-pectoral. The father of one of my childhood friends was a plastic surgeon and sub-pectoral is 100% the way to go. The “nerf-ball” look in which they look and feel comically fake is when they do on top of the muscle.
anyway about $70 for one hour of her time
Okay, Sir Galahad.

Well, until Martha’s Vinyard booted them out.
But really, the whole point is to be anywhere not south of the border. Why would that be any less happy in MV than Florida.
S.B. 1020 will require 90 percent of California’s electricity to come from clean energy sources by 2035 and 95 percent by 2040 — interim targets toward a 100 percent goal for 2045.
In addition, all electricity procured for state agencies will need to come from clean energy by 2035, according to the bill.
“Clean” meaning the emissions and other toxic byproducts are displaced to another state or country.
That was quick.
What would Freud say about this?

England Average floor space for private renters has fallen by 16% over past 20 years (from 43m² per person in 1997-2001 to 36m² in 2017-19). Collectively, this reduction in floor space amounts to 75km2 – the size of Nottingham. Av. floor space for homeowners rose by 10% over this period.

What are these eurotrash units of floor space of which you speak?
Living space is meant to be measured in hp and beer cans.
hp?

Speaking of fast food… is Long John Silver’s still around? i was running around doing errands yesterday, and I thought, “I could go for some greasy fish and chips.”
Dude. No.
My first thought was Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
We have one left. It’s usually fairly busy.
We used to have an Arthur Treacher’s which I much preferred to LJS but it is long gone.
We had an Arthur Treachers when I was a kid, but we never went there. One, we were really too poor for fast food, but two, my dad only liked his seafood pickled.
Mmmmmm… tapeworms
🤢
My dad served his LDS mission in Holland and got a taste for a lot of weird things, like mayo on French fries. That one’s okay, since I had street fries with homemade mayo in Belgium.
Hush puppies.
Vegas has em usually combined with another fast food joint like KFC or a Taco Bell
The combined ones are the only LJSes I’ll eat at. The standalones seem to be run really poorly and as a rule, dirty.

The breakthrough in negotiations was announced by Labor Secretary Marty Walsh, who hosted talks between unions representing 115,000 railway workers and the country’s largest railroads. If the unions accept the deal, workers will get double-digit raises, more flexible attendance policies and other benefits. President Biden called the agreement a win for rail workers who worked through the pandemic “to ensure that America’s families and communities got deliveries of what have kept us going during these difficult years.”
Those deliveries, however, are still not entirely back on track, despite an apparently receding pandemic. And it could be a long time before supply chains again run as smoothly as they did before the age of lockdowns and mask mandates.

Jason Furman, a Harvard professor who headed the Council of Economic Advisers under President Barack Obama, says there’s room for optimism, but “we’re not out of the woods yet.”
“[The] ports have mostly cleared themselves out. Trucking has mostly resolved itself. The cost of international shipping is way down. So there are definitely a lot of things that have gotten better,” he says.
But in other key areas, there are still several fairly serious wrinkles, such as high fuel and food prices and a shortage of microchips for vehicles that aren’t likely to be resolved anytime soon, Furman says.
The Ministry of Plenty will have things running smoothly in no time.
Which are about to get a lot higher with those nice “double-digit raises”.
Just watched the clip of the Wolves player being sent off. Hilarious that he argued so much.
Oh, they’re back? Barely paying attention this year.
Glad I fast-forwarded through the Collingwood match. Settled in for the last few minutes as I saw they were catching up. With less than one minute on the clock, the feed froze and then they switched to the next scheduled program.
Thanks, Fox Sports.
“Our supply chains are only as strong as our most congested link,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg told NPR on Thursday. “And we’ve seen that throughout the pandemic period and the recovery from the worst days of it, whether it’s ships, trucks, warehouses or trains, all of these things need to be working well in order for our economy to thrive.”
That’s why he gets paid the big bucks.
Haters beware
U.S. President Joe Biden called on Americans to speak out against racism and extremism during a summit at the White House on Thursday, and said he would ask Congress to do more to hold social media companies accountable for spreading hate.
“White supremacists will not have the last word,” Biden told the ‘United We Stand’ summit of bipartisan local leaders, experts and survivors.
Biden said America had long experienced a “through line of hate” against minority groups, one that had been given “too much oxygen” by politics and the media in recent years.
“It’s so important that we keep hollering,” he said. “It’s so important for people to know that’s not who we are.”
The event also recognized communities that suffered hate-based attacks, including mass shootings at a gay nightclub in Orlando in 2016 and at a Buffalo, New York, supermarket earlier this year, in which 10 Black people were gunned down by an avowed racist.
Hate crimes in the United States hit a 12-year high in 2020, the last available data, the FBI said last year.
“Extremism” is everywhere. It must be rooted out and silenced.
Dissent is treason.
Look in the mirror, asshole.
Running late. That Politico article was a pile of verbal diarrhea that said everything except what the author intended:
The rap moguls tend to be pro-business, pro-individual and fairly libertarian in their views. Damn near every rapper I have met ends up that way, although moat could care less about politics. How dare they not be Democrats!
Story that Big Boi got stopped in the airport by a white woman just after Obama’s win. She said how delighted he must be that “his” people won finally. He said, “Bitch, I voted for Gary Johnson.”
I love (not really) how they don’t see how racist they are when they say things like that.
So my MIL and FIL and I were having a discussion on race, and they decided my point was racist (the preponderance of black athletes who have white wives). Okay, whatever. Not half an hour later, a segment about personal finance came on Good Morning America. My FIL took one look at the expert and yelled, “Hey, honey, come look at this black lady! She’s really smart!”
I said nothing.
Participants gave Biden a standing ovation when he said he wanted Congress to “hold social media companies accountable for spreading hate.”
“I’m calling on Congress to get rid of special immunity for social media companies and impose much stronger transparency requirements on all of them,” Biden said.
Wasn’t that widely ridiculed in the media as a dumb idea not so very long ago?
They’ll keep trying.
That’s an interesting way to say, “clapped like seals”.
Mr. President, thank you for unifying and inspiring a vision of a stronger, fairer, safer future for all – for our children. Your extraordinary leadership has made this glorious day possible. I – that’s an applause line.
Or went over the cliff like lemmings.
Hush puppies.
Sean gets it.
Oh, joy. Another sub-prime lending fiasco. TW: NYT. Use reader mode.
Yes. When my son applied to college we were informed about this multiple times in the application process.
“The honest truth is that Congress created a subprime lending program unintentionally,” said Rachel Fishman of New America, the left-leaning think tank.
Totally unintentional, it was.
How you feeling?
Just read your post and watched the clip. Very nice, will recommend to #2 son who had been taking Japanese at college up until this semester but had to drop it due to excessive workload (he is taking several graduate courses and teaching CS2).
High as a kite, the pain is tolerable for now. From past experience I will not be able to pass the stone and will be looking at a cystoscope in a few weeks. Worst part is I will be limited in my ability to run errands for my semi-invalid wife. No. 1 son will need to step up.
Ow, sorry dude. I’m way too familiar with that particular pain.
Kidney stones! OMG, ’Patzer, so sorry!
Feel better!
My son decided to take Ancient Greek without talking to me. Having taken just that in high school I would have advised against it.
He now has mentioned that he wishes he could have reconsidered.
My dad had a 27mm stone in his bladder several years back. They had to use ultrasound to break and then go in with a catheter.
27mm? Yikes!
Sorry.

The White House event comes just weeks after Biden warned in a speech in Philadelphia that extremist Republicans are a threat to democracy.
Biden addressed criticism that the speech was divisive on Thursday.
“Silence is complicity, we can’t remain silent,” Biden said. “There are those that say we bring this up, we divide the country. Bringing it up we silence it.”
Biden announced a $1 billion push by philanthropists to build bridges among Americans of different backgrounds, and an initiative supported by the foundations of former Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Gerald Ford.
Building bridges with forced labor, like the Japanese in that movie?
Silence is violence, words are violence….all I ever wanted, all I ever needed is you
The President is not being divisive when he calls half the country extremists and implies they are all Nazis or worse. He’s begging them to return to the fold and be obedient members of his flock.
Attorney General Merrick Garland told the summit that all 94 U.S. Attorneys’ Offices would work on a “United Against Hate” initiative over the next year, to increase community understanding and reporting of hate crimes, and build trust between law enforcement and communities.
Big Brother has his ear to the ground.
Now we know how they’ll brand political dissidents.
Falsifying public records
Just hours after a Montana judge blocked health officials from enforcing a state rule that would prevent transgender people from changing the gender on their birth certificate, the Republican-run state on Thursday said it would defy the order.
District Court Judge Michael Moses chided attorneys for the state during a hearing in Billings for circumventing his April order that temporarily blocked a 2021 Montana law that made it harder to change birth certificates.
Moses said there was no question that state officials violated his earlier order by creating the new rule. Moses said his order reinstates a 2017 Department of Public Health and Human Services rule that allowed people to update the gender on their birth certificate by filing an affidavit with the department.
However, the state said it would disregard the ruling.
This is all so ridiculously fucking stupid. How many people in the state of Montana (or anywhere) are beating down the door of their local courthouse to amend the sex box on their birth certificate?
I don’t seem to recall seeing the phrase “Democrat-run state” when reading about New York’s blatantly unconstitutional new gun confiscation laws.
The blessed utopian state-run is the usual moniker
ACLU attorney Malita Picasso expressed dismay with the agency’s stance and said officials should immediately start processing requests for birth certificate changes.
They’re neck deep in those requests, I’m sure.
Start processing and finish processing are two very different things.

Also, the format of that image allows for it to have been re-written. I cannot take that as proof the article in question even exists, let alone was accurate.
Yeah, that was the first thing I thought: an obvious Photoshop.
