Not too much going on, other than team blue’s political ads here are getting a bit desperate.  First, the astronaut running for senate was seen covering his dome with a trucker hat in his latest ad…of all things.  Then they dug up Obama to let us know it would disappoint him personally, if I didn’t vote for the lady cosplaying as an anxiety-riddled middle school guidance counselor running for governor.

I wrote in the Old Man for Governor.  Now for the links!

 

This Halloween, be sure to check your pumpkins for drugs, lest children eat $400k in meth.

For the Musk simps…you know who you are.

Why?

To be honest, I don’t see how they’d be able to afford it.

Are they really gangs, or are they central bankers?  I have a hard time sympathizing either way.

Brazil empowers a minister of truth, likely to be wielded against its own president.

In Argentina, this is considered normal.

 

An old favorite.  Enjoy your Tuesday!

      Good old Jimmy Kimmel, what’s he up to now? Whatever it is I’m sure he’s not busy being a humorless weepy overpoliticized bitch.

      Carolla was good peer pressure for Kimmel from their KROQ days to the Man Show. Look what happened when they split up.

  5. Mojeaux

    Lasagne sauce and noodles are on the stove, getting ready for assembly. Labor intensive dish, is what.

    And here I am psyching myself up to make a peppermint bark cheesecake in 1.5 months. Srsly, Mojo?

    • Pat

      Just make it now and freeze it. Tell everyone it’s an ice cream cake.

      • Mojeaux

        The cheesecake is a multi-day affair, and also expensive.

        In other news, 2 pans of lasagne are now in the oven, and I have enough spaghetti sauce left over to last for days. Why, yes, I DO make spaghetti sauce in a stockpot. Why do you ask?

      • Ted S.

        Because fuck you, that’s why?

      • Mojeaux

        Dude, some days I don’t know whether you’re teasing me good-naturedly or much less so. Maybe some days I’m not getting the joke.

      • Ted S.

        That was a joke.

        (Sorry I didn’t respond, but I logged off to make dinner.)

      • Zwak. who's suit is as ragged as his nerves.

        Unless you are making Olio y Aioli, there isn’t a good way, otherwise.

      • AlexinCT

        Did you mean “Aglio e olio”? Garlic & olive oil…

        Perche quello che hai detto tu non, lo capisco.

      • Zwak. who's suit is as ragged as his nerves.

        In a different language, yes. Notice the Y, and not an E.

      • Pat

        Why, yes, I DO make spaghetti sauce in a stockpot.

        Is there some other way to make it? I just inherited the method from my parents.

      • Mojeaux

        My mom and roommate made it in a skillet. Now I’m wondering if that was all there was to cook.

      • AlexinCT

        There is no single way to do it. Some Eye-talians do it in the skillet and some do it in the crockpot. And it often depends on the kind of sauce and the way you were thought to make it.

    • The Hyperbole

      Did you also make a bechamel sauce?

      • Mojeaux

        Bechamel? For lasagne? No. I made tomato sauce.

      • The Hyperbole

        A mixture of bechamel and bolognese sauce make a very good lasagna filling and a very messy kitchen.

      • Mojeaux

        I have a very bougie/pedestrian/basic-bitch recipe. I cook for comfort, not for a foodie palate, which I do not have.

      • UnCivilServant

        This question makes no sense. Why would you make a sauce that doesn’t even go in the dish?

      • The Hyperbole

        You must not be familiar with Bolognese style lasagne.

      • UnCivilServant

        It already sounds like they’re doing it wrong.

      • The Hyperbole

        You want to argue with Marcella Hazan go ahead, she only wrote the book on classic Italian cooking.

      • UnCivilServant

        Nice appeal to authority, man.

      • Suthenboy

        What are you talking about? Just ask the grandma that lives next door to Hazan and you get a whole different universe of recipes.
        As far as you can throw a rock in Italy the food/recipes are different. I you want to get in a fist fight just learn a recipe, ride a horse for half an hour and tell that recipe to the first Italian you run into. It is about the same here in Louisiana.
        I have seen guys get in screaming fights over recipes for gumbo, boudin, andouille, jambalaya, etc.
        It is probably a toss up if the Italians, French, or us are worse. Dont even get me started on German sausage.

        When it comes to food diversity is a wonderful thing.

      • The Hyperbole

        USC is the one saying their is a certain way to make lasagne (without bechamel sauce) I am only informing him that Bolognese style lasgne is made with it, He is the one claiming that is wrong. Make lasagne any way you want, I don’t care. However there are some recipes that are considered standards.

      • Mojeaux

        I am not. My spaghetti sauce recipe (which I use for lasagne) involves tomato sauce, ground beef, garlic, onion, mushrooms, salt, pepper, oregano, basil, and parsley. My lasagne ALSO involves cottage cheese, parsley, and parmesan cheese. Then there’s the mozzarella.

        Basic.

      • Aloysious

        I’d eat that ’til I explodied.

      • The Hyperbole

        Nothing wrong with that.

      • Pat

        Sounds a lot like my mom’s recipe, if you swap ricotta for cottage cheese (and strain the mushrooms out of your picky son’s portion).

      • Mojeaux

        I should use ricotta, but I never have.

        Picky son can pick his own mushrooms out. 😉

      • Pat

        Oh, and add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes.

      • Pat

        Picky son can pick his own mushrooms out. 😉

        My mom spoiled me rotten that way. She always used to tell me, “When you get married your wife is going to hate me for this.”

      • AlexinCT

        Mix some sweet pork sausage with your beef the next time you make it, and add some fennel seeds. You will love it.

      • Mojeaux

        I do not countenance the “f” word in my sauce. No, absolutely not. 🤮

      • AlexinCT

        Your lasagna, your recipe. You make it the way you like it. I can respek that.

      • Pat

        You must not be familiar with Bolognese style lasagne.

        Until I was informed by an episode of MasterChef Australia, I also had no idea that bechamel was supposed to be a component of lasagna. Northeast Washington state is a long way from Italy.

      • The Hyperbole

        Bechamel can be a component it doesn’t have to be. As I0b0t likes to say ‘Let a thousand flowers bloom.’

    Shut up, Meg Liz.

    Chuck Todd — “Donald Trump ends up the nominee in 2024. You’ve said you won’t be a Republican anymore, so it implies you think the party can be saved.”

    Cheney — “I think the party has to come back from where we are right now, which is a dangerous and toxic place, or the party will splinter, and there will be a new conservative party that rises if Donald Trump is the nominee of the Republican Party, the party will shatter, and there will be a conservative party that rises in its place.”

    It would be nice to have an actual conservative party.

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

      Better dig up Goldwater then.

    • Plinker762

      I would like a regressive party. Maybe take us back to 2000 or so.

    • R.J.

      The party will shatter into a ton of real conservatives, and a roomful of useless discarded RINOs that had clung to power for thirty years. Good luck with that RINO party! It’ll be like a discarded cicada shell left behind while the new insect flies away.

      • Suthenboy

        Good analogy.
        I cant decide which I hate more: The shameless fascists on the left or the cowardly traitor RINO’s. They both disgust me.

    I know we’re not supposed to talk about the bloody mole, but there’s a bloody mole and it’s winking chinking me in the face.

    Today the Department of Justice revealed that a longtime employee of the Federal Bureau of Investigation has been charged with espionage on behalf of China, his homeland. Kun Shan Chun, who was employed by the FBI since 1997, was arrested back in March of this year and has already pleaded guilty to his betrayal.

    Chun, who went by “Joey,” worked for nearly two decades as an electronics technician with the FBI’s huge New York field office, where ten percent of the Bureau is assigned. He held Top Secret security clearances since 1998. Part of his job, as one of the legions of technical personnel who support the FBI’s storied special agents, included accessing classified information. It seems safe to assume that was what Chun was sharing with Beijing. …

    As a Chinese mole inside the FBI, he systematically concealed his secret ties to Beijing, including a meeting with a Chinese spy in an unnamed European country. It’s normal spycraft to meet high-value agents like moles inside hostile intelligence services far from the United States, where the chances of being detected are high, rather in third countries in Europe.

    • Pat

      That’s progress of a sort. They used to just buy classified information right from our politicians.

      • Bobarian LMD

        Politicians are too dumb to forward the right data… You got to have work-arounds.

      • Lackadaisical

        Now having worked a little more closely with politicians, I am inclined to agree.

    • Fatty Bolger

      I have this idea that every major country knows almost everything about our politicians and intelligence organizations. We’re basically an open book. And this this has been a big part of maintaining our (mostly) benevolent hegemony, because they see what the people running things are doing, and think, “Wow, they’re just a bunch of knuckleheads. Nothing to be worried about.”

    Sorry to be in poor form. I know it’s early for you normies, but Im going to bed soon. I wanted to drag this corpse over from the previous thread…

    “Since midsummer, when the Supreme Court repealed Roe v. Wade, Democrats had hoped that preserving the 50-year-old constitutional right to an abortion …”

    I’ve said this over and over again….can someone point me to the part of the constitution that guarantees an abortion? Even if you make a 14th amendment argument, how does it supersede the 10th?

    • Pat

      Even if you make a 14th amendment argument, how does it supersede the 10th?

      It supersedes the 10th because if you try to say it doesn’t then you’re obviously a racist who wants to return to slavery.

      Besides, there’s nothing more sacrosanct than medical privacy between a physician and patient. You get rid of that and who knows who might happen. The government might tell physicians which drugs they can prescribe to treat illness, or make you provide private medical information to access services. We can’t go down that slippery slope.

    The comments on Argentina inflation hit the mark. Purposely / accidentally they are destroying the middle-class. Commies, aristocrats, and oligarchs really despise the uppity middle-class / bourgeoisie.

    Those crazy Republicans

    Rates of violent crime and killings have broadly increased around the U.S. since the coronavirus pandemic, in some places climbing from historic lows. While experts have pointed to a number of potential causes, including global upheaval related to the pandemic, Republicans have tried to focus blame on criminal justice reforms adopted after George Floyd’s killing by police.

    Trying to pin the blame on Democrats? Everybody knows it’s Putin’s fault.

  16. DEG

    other than team blue’s political ads here are getting a bit desperate.

    Heh.

    Here in NH, Hassan and Pappas have been coopting MAGA Republican rhetoric in their ads for the past month.

    Brazilian authorities, grappling with a torrent of online misinformation ahead of the country’s presidential election, granted the nation’s elections chief unilateral power to order tech companies to remove many online posts and videos — one of the most aggressive actions taken by any country to combat false information.

    Sexist comedy is back

    Let me get this right. When Jerry Sadowitz gets his knob out during a comedy routine it’s an outrage, a vile, misogynistic crime against decency. The beast must be cancelled. But when Jordan Gray gets his knob out during a comedy routine – I say comedy… – it’s ‘iconic’, deserving of ‘praise’, possibly the ‘TV MOMENT OF THE YEAR!’. What’s with the double standard? It’s simple: Gray is trans, and that means he can do whatever the fuck he wants.

    The fawning over Gray and his little pecker has been mad, even by the standards of today’s cult of genderfluidity. It was on Friday Night Live on Channel 4 that Gray whipped out his phallus. He was playing the piano and singing songs and cracking jokes that only someone with a degree in queer studies could find funny. Then he said: ‘You know the best thing about live TV is that I can do stupid stuff like this!’ He stood up, tore off his neon-pink pantsuit, and stood naked before the live studio audience. Fake boobs, real penis, the works. He then used his dick to carry on playing the piano, which was quite the stretch.

    It all rather brought to mind the line from that Seth MacFarlane film, Ted: ‘There are no chicks with dicks, only guys with tits!’ This guy with tits – or ‘woman’, according to those who have fully abandoned the pursuits of reason and truth – has been gushed over by the woke media. ‘What a moment’, they said. An ‘iconic live naked performance’, declared LadBible. The Mirror did that thing that media outlets often do of using random people’s tweets to make a moral point. ‘Seeing a trans woman get naked on TV is *exactly* what is needed’, it quoted one social-media sage as saying. Is it, though? I know people need help with their mortgages and electricity bills. I’m not sure they need to be dragged against their will into a bloke’s narcissistic fantasy that he is a lady despite having a cock that he wants you all to look at.

    For the record, I don’t have a problem with nudity on TV. Or sex or violence or offensive comedy. It’s all good. Please don’t write to Ofcom about Gray. But I do have a problem with double standards. It’s mere months since the same media that’s now salivating over Gray’s penis were tut-tutting over Jerry Sadowitz’s. Sadowitz got his member out during his stand-up show at the Edinburgh Festival. The right-on set went mental. Indecent exposure is not free speech, they said. Showing your knob to audience members is not culture, they cried. But it is now? Make it make sense!

    • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

      There is no sense. There is no truth. It’s only “My Truth”.

    In too-local news, Big College is looking for a new president, and appears to have tapped Sen. Ben Sasse. When he came to campus last month to meet with faculty, the usual suspects (the man bun and skinny jeans crowd, along with the tatted up fat chicks with septum rings, aposematic hair, and bespoke pronouns) had a little shout-fest to get their smug on.

    The outgoing university president just reminded the Perennially Indignant that the adults are in charge, and tantrums won’t be tolerated. To wit:

    UF supports the First Amendment right to free speech and embraces our university as a place where people are able and encouraged to exchange differing viewpoints or express their feelings through peaceful protest. As our core value of freedom and civility states, “We are a community that affirms and embraces openness to an inclusive range of viewpoints.” With this commitment comes an obligation to protect the rights of everyone in our community to speak and to hear.

    To ensure that those rights are protected at upcoming events, the university will resume enforcement of a regulation on the books for at least two decades, prohibiting protests inside campus buildings. We have not enforced this policy in recent years because in the rare cases that protesters entered buildings, they were respectful of others and their rights to speak and to hear. This policy will be enforced during the Nov. 1 UF Board of Trustees meeting at Emerson Alumni Hall, where Dr. Sasse’s candidacy will be considered. Students who violate the regulation may be subject to discipline under the Student Conduct Code.

    Kind of odd, in this day and age, for a college to stand up to the lunatics. Refreshing, actually.

  21. The Late P Brooks

    Reckless endangerment

    [Penn State] fully supports the right of free speech and encourages its expression in thoughtful and respectful ways, even when we strongly disagree with the opinions expressed. But the First Amendment does not require our University to risk imminent violence,” the statement read.

    A student group that planned the demonstration issued a statement Monday night, condemning university officials and lauding the hundreds of students who showed up to protest.

    “YOU WON!” wrote the Student Committee for Defense and Solidarity on Instagram. “Despite the extreme irresponsibility of the reprehensible Penn State administrators, who should resign immediately, and who willfully put students at risk.”

    Earlier this month, the student committee characterized the McInnes event not as a speech issue, but a safety issue. Students certainly took issue with McInnes’ history of violent and bigoted rhetoric, but their concerns centered on the violence exacted by his Proud Boys at similar events on campus and at political events — including the gang’s outsize role in the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

    It was such a perilous situation we just had to get everybody there.

    It would have been a more effective protest if MacInnes had showed up and the place was deserted.

      “not as a speech issue, but a safety issue”

    I could use a lawn ornament.

    A Richmond judge has ruled that the city will decide where the A.P. Hill statue will go once it’s removed, clearing the way for its plan to donate the monument to the Black History Museum and Cultural Center of Virginia.

    The city and four “collateral descendants,” people with a common ancestor but who do not descend directly from Hill, went to court in late September over the case.

    Both sides agreed that Richmond’s plan to move Hill’s remains to Fairview Cemetery in Culpeper should be allowed to move forward. Their dispute was over what to do with the last city-owned Confederate monument still standing.

    While other Confederate monuments in Richmond have been removed, the fate of A.P. Hill was complicated due to the general’s remains being buried beneath the statue. This required the city to get a court order to remove the remains.

    Unfortunately we could not Stonewall these cultural revolution cuntes.

      “The truth is, there is much Democrats can brag about. With only a slim margin in the House and a 50-50 Senate, President Biden and congressional Democrats have still accomplished more in two years than many presidents do in eight.” [laundry list of massive, wasteful spending bills follows]

      Good grief, Bill. Wipe off the condiments you’ve smeared all over yourself, put some clothes on, and find a source of fresh air. I suppose I’ll be charitable and agree that this Congress has been successful, if their aim was to destroy everything in sight.

      • Drake

        I didn’t think they could accomplish this level of destruction in 2 years. It is very impressive.

      • Compelled Speechless

        I feel like “Bill Press” should be a pseudonym for either Hunter Biden or a creepy pedo boy band manager.

      What a bunch of gibberish with a hefty dose of cognitive dissonance.

    For some reason Twitter puts Univision stories in my “What’s Happening” feed. I found this one amusing: “Ya llega un nuevo estímulo por la inflación a California”. A new inflation stimulus is coming to California. Sounds about right.

    • Rat on a train

      Inflation isn’t going to stimulate itself.

      • The Other Kevin

        I think this comment was supposed to be under that “whip out a penis on stage” story above.

      • Bobarian LMD

        Biden’s about 3 more atrophied brain cells from running on that very platform.

      • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

        “In a bold political pivot today, Biden came out as a gerontosexual by revealing his penis onstage at a brief rally in Scranton Tuesday. He was quoted as saying, ‘Hunter isn’t the only Biden who likes to show his junk. And no, those aren’t onions on my belt.’ Nancy Pelosi praised the move, saying ‘He can come to my Oval Office.’ Republicans pounced as Rand Paul raged, ‘Seriously? This is the President? This is the best we can do?’ AARP quickly denounced Paul’s reply as hate speech.”

    McDonald’s is bringing back the McRib again, but this is the last time. Or is it?

    I have to admit, I loved the damn things when I was a kid. Now, I get one every other year or so, for nostalgia’s sake. The sauce is too sweet for me now, but a healthy dose of Louisiana hot sauce makes the sandwich more palatable.

    • Suthenboy

      It is not a McRib. There are no ribs in it. There is some kind of formed meat by-product in it. They are disgusting.

      • Pat

        It is not a McRib. There are no ribs in it.

        No Micks either. The whole thing is one big lie.

    • slumbrew

      I had my first one, like, 10 years ago. Meh. I don’t get the furor.

      • AlexinCT

        When it came out some 30 or 40 years ago there was no competition, so people didn’t know better. there are real choices now, and the McRib is basically now finally seen for the crap it really was/is.

    • whiz

      Arby’s is releasing their own version of a rib sandwich that looks much better. (The link is from last year, but I’ve seen recent ads for this year.)

      • B.P.

        “It is even releasing a limited edition set of “smoked sweats,” consisting of BBQ-colored sweatpants and a sweatshirt that have been smoked, to celebrate the partnership.”

        I find Arby’s advertising of late to be very entertaining.

      • Suthenboy

        “We have the meats!”

        They are still doing phrasing.

      • Suthenboy

        Arby’s has the best menu in the fast food category. I know….low bar…their gyro is pretty good but where is the tzatziki?

      • Mojeaux

        ? They have tzatziki. I usually have to ask for extra.

      • Suthenboy

        The last couple of times we got them, no tzatziki. We brought them home and made our own.

      • AlexinCT

        Food shortages. They are low on Tzaziki ingredients….

    The NHS is pushing back against trans ideology

    Last week, in a victory for child safeguarding, reality and common sense, the NHS rammed a stake into the heart of trans ideology.

    On Thursday, NHS England published its ‘interim service specification’ for the treatment of children and young people with gender dysphoria. This proposed guidance sets the groundwork for a wholesale change in the NHS’s approach to gender identity, following the devastating findings of the interim Cass review earlier this year. There will be a public consultation before any of the new policies are adopted. These proposals will undoubtedly come as a huge relief to parents, trans-sceptical professionals and campaign groups across the country.

    The proposed NHS guidance casts aside a central tenet of trans ideology: the idea that some people are born ‘transgender’. Instead, doctors are to be reminded that ‘in most pre-pubertal children, gender incongruence does not persist into adolescence’. In other words, most ‘trans children’ grow out of it. It is a phase.

    A new, holistic approach to treatment will consider autism and mental-health issues as possible causes of what it calls ‘gender incongruence’. The guidance also advises that ‘social transition’ – which includes changing a patient’s name, pronouns or the way that they dress – should no longer be regarded as a ‘neutral act’. Instead, it recognises that doing so could have ‘significant effects’ on a patient’s ‘psychological functioning’. This means that what trans activists call ‘affirmative care’ should not be recommended as a matter of course. What’s more, children or families who obtain hormones and puberty-blocking medication from ‘unregulated sources’ could be subject to safeguarding referrals.

    This proposed guidance makes the stark observation that, at present, ‘clinical decision-making’ on how to care for children presenting as trans rests on ‘scarce and inconclusive evidence’.

    What kind of world are we occupying when the NHS is becoming a voice of reason.

    • Mojeaux

      It all starts looking different when you’re running out of other people’s money.

      • B.P.

        My word these trans surgeries are costing a fortune. Could we maybe have someone talk to these kids to see if they’re depressed or something?

      • Compelled Speechless

        Then how would all the virtues get signaled?

      • Q Continuum

        Look at Mr. Science Denier over here. Get me a straightjacket and a spot on the next freight car for “B.P.” (if that is your name)!

      • R.J.

        Not only that, but insurance would not cover it. It is not necessary, like breast augmentation. As such the pool of applicants remains very limited.

      • Suthenboy

        “It all starts looking different when you’re running out of other people’s money.”

        Saying the obvious gets me a lot of “No soup for you!”

        People who let run away emotions rule their decisions do not like others to call this out, and they will scratch your eyes out for making them look dumb.

    • Suthenboy

      I love border collies. They are the smartest breed and very well adapted to humans.
      I have a ~90% whippet and he is close to a border collie in those respects.

      • Suthenboy

        The little guy can count and read a clock. He is yipping now letting me know it is time for bedtime pee and treats. Ugh. He won’t let it go until he gets what he wants. The other dogs are staring holes in me perched in a semi-circle. Damned flock of buzzards. Do I look like a dying antelope?

      • R.J.

        I have a new cat that plays fetch, runs to me when I call, and drinks out of the toilet. Maybe he needs species reassignment.

      • R.J.

        He sure looks like a straight up grey and black stripey Tom. You could be right, he could have a lot of Russian Blue in there. No telling! He sure is cool though.

      • Pat

        My last cat was an adoptee who was raised in a household with a Pomeranian and took on a lot of those mannerisms. Including holding her tail curled up over her back most of the time.

        That cat was lazy as hell, but I’ve had several others that defied the fetching stereotype. When I was a kid we had one that would hang out in my dad’s office while he was working, waiting for him to make paper balls out of discarded scrap paper and throw them down the hall to be fetched.

    President Biden on Tuesday warned the American people that nearly every COVID-related death this year will be because people have not received the updated vaccine.

    “Virtually every COVID death in America is preventable,” Biden said during an afternoon press conference, standing alongside pharmacy leaders from Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid and Albertsons. “Virtually everyone, almost everyone who will die from COVID this year, will not be up-to-date on their shots.”

    Right.

    Fuck off, Brandon.

    • Suthenboy

      Too many people are herd animals that desperately want to be told what to do. That is how the vampires get away with this kind of shit. Too many cowards and idiots.
      It amazes me how a doddering dunce like that guy gets so much support.

  33. The Late P Brooks

    “If you get it, you’re protected. And if you don’t, you’re putting yourself and other people unnecessarily at risk,” Biden said, later adding, “Nearly every death is preventable, so get updated. Get your updated COVID shot. Now’s the time to do it, by Halloween if you can.”

    Go fuck yourself.

    A little late

    The New York State supreme court has ordered New York City to rehire and pay back wages to government employees who were fired for refusing to get vaccinated against Covid-19.

    David Chokshi, the city’s health commissioner, issued an order in October 2021 requiring all city employees to be inoculated against the virus. Later, Chokshi issued a similar order for private-sector employees; Mayor Eric Adams signed a supplementary executive order to that latter mandate carving out exemptions for athletes, musicians, and other performers.

    The court deemed both Chokshi’s and Adams’s orders “arbitrary and capricious,” while also finding that Chokshi’s violated the New York State constitution.

    “The Health Commissioner cannot create a new condition of employment for city employees, . . . cannot prohibit an employee from reporting to work . . . [and] cannot terminate employees. The Mayor cannot exempt certain employees from these orders,” reads the opinion, which was authored by Judge Ralph J. Porzio. Porzio noted that vaccination against Covid-19 does not prevent transmission of the disease, but noted that the decision “is not a commentary on the efficacy of vaccination.”
