Long weekend. Had to do the single dad thing due to an out of state soccer tournament. I’m happier its back to normal, which strikes me as odd.
Links? Sure, let’s do it.
The “3 Amigos” summit resulted in next to nothing mentioned by the corporate press. Don’t worry, they are implementing all the bullshit you think they are:
The leaders are determined to fortify our region’s security, prosperity, sustainability and inclusiveness through commitments across six pillars: 1) diversity, equity, and inclusion; 2) climate change and the environment; 3) competitiveness; 4) migration and development; 5) health; and 6) regional security.
Lovely bias by omission from the press.
¿Se prohibe fumar? ¡Aydamos Fumador!
Trial begins on an Mexican official extradited to the US. Which sucks, because he’s going to a US minimum security resort.
They’re taking our jobs!! In related news, download the Border App, today!
I’m confused. They did something…reasonable?
Looks like the Brazilian J6 witch hunt is underway.
Seems like a G&R type of day. Why not?
“1) diversity, equity, and inclusion; 2) climate change and the environment; 3) competitiveness; ”
One of those is not like the others.
“Eliminating” goes in front of “competitiveness.” Omission from the article.
I should have guessed that, since they are also reducing health and regional security.
Assuming they mean competitiveness with China, and other non-NA blocs. Good luck achieving that competitiveness while hobbling business and the economy with DEI and green nonsense.
Many parts of China are wasteland due to mining. As of yet, no news of kung fu battles in a huge dome.
I would watch that remake.
He got me looking for some kung fu already.
Kung Fu Hustle is fun,
That list – and the order of the items in it – is certainly instructive.
The only conclusion to draw is: Bend over.
“Which sucks, because he’s going to a US minimum security resort.”
Nah, he can have his own personal underground train. Which creates jobs.
1) diversity, equity, and inclusion; 2) climate change and the environment; 3) competitiveness; 4) migration and development; 5) health; and 6) regional security.
We should set up a game of buzzword Bingo for that one.
“Puerto Rico announced Sunday that it plans to privatize electricity generation, a first for a U.S. territory facing chronic power outages as it struggles to rebuild a crumbling electric grid.
The move marks the beginning of the end for Puerto Rico’s Electric Power Authority, a behemoth long accused of corruption, mismanagement and inefficiency that holds some $9 billion in public debt — the largest of any government agency.”
Yes, that actually does sound reasonable.
Cynical me says it’s a way to offload the debt and discharge it through an eventual bankruptcy.
I assumed the bureaucrats in charge were were somehow on the take with the private financing.
That’s my assumption as well, it’ll get “privatized” to a crony, who will milk it for cash. Then, when it fails, people can point to it to show that “privatization doesn’t work!”
Is that some kind of privilege, assuming dirt-poor migrants from Central America have smartphones to run the app?
Don’t give them any ideas, JI. Next step is giving potential migrants Bidenphones and free wireless.
The Bidenphone won’t be able to remember your password.
Password? You expect the Bidenphone to have privacy features
Sure.
It hides all the government spyware very well.
Tough room.
It would not surprise me at all if we were already doing that.
I mean, why not? We’re giving them free rides across the country, free health care, and free education.
“They’re taking our jobs!! ”
It’s actually more of case of taking our housing. Everyone wants to blame homelessness on drugs and mental illness, but not over-regulation and illegal immigration.
The app, called CBP One, is available in English and Spanish and will allow migrants in Central and Northern Mexico who upload biographical information and a photo to request an appointment at one of eight ports in Texas, Arizona and California, according to a fact sheet.
Not available in Creole? This is obviously racist against Haitians.
/some NGO drone, probably
Don’t forget Nahuatl (1.7 million native speakers, mostly in Central Mexico) and other indigenous languages.

They did something…reasonable?
What makes you think that isn’t some cronyism?
Hence my confusion. This has to be a scam.
If it works, I’ll allow it.

Please, by all that’s sacred and holy, please stop watching The Rings of Power. It’s really not worth it.
Someone is watching it?
Hate watching is a thing.
I like Tolkien too much to do that to myself.
I watched a few episodes. Pretending it wasn’t even about middle earth helped, and since nothing was accurate anyway works okay. Still the storyline and characters blow too much to enjoy it.
I only made it 20 minutes into the first episode to see if it really was as bad as I thought. That was 18 more than I needed. It’s than Velma, which I only made it 3 minutes into. It wouldn’t have even been that long if I hadn’t dropped the remote between the couch cushions.
There was a great story about the new Thelma series being a conservative psy op, because it was so bad. I probably saw it here and am repeating old info.
I floated the theory that it was the product of someone who is kind of not all that woke trying to sell herself as that in order to make a buck. You really can’t do shit in Hollywood if you aren’t on the diversity is the best train and being Indian really doesn’t get you that far.
I saw that article in Forbes. Hilarious. The opening monologue is literally the wokest thing I have ever heard. It doesn’t occur to them that their ideology is so ridiculous that it’s impossible to distinguish from a parody of itself. If only they were capable of self-reflection.
The reviews convinced me to avoid it.
I enjoyed it, but then again I’m not a nerd and don’t have Tolkien lore memorized so many of the things that bothered most people I didn’t even notice.
You don’t have to have Tolkien lore memorized to notice that the show is poorly written, predictable from the outset, generally cardboard characters, a protagonist who was laughably unlikable, and that it looked awfully cheap very often despite its massive budget. That’s before we even get into anything to do with race swapping races or the stereotypical girl power bullshit that permeated every aspect of the show.
The entire plot centered around elves who had been guarding a territory for millennia not noticing large gangs of orcs building massive tunnels all throughout it. And the cringy Galadriel jumping off a boat in the middle of nowhere and deciding to swim thousands of miles back to shore only to run into not-Sauron who was played by an actor who couldn’t even remotely pull off the ridiculous plot twist of him being Sauron.
And even if you had just watched the movies, you would know how twisted the lore actually is.
Or gawds forbid they tackle the actual crux of the human condition that Sauron exploits to seduce the Numenoreans – mortality.
I guess I’m lucky in that I don’t notice any of that stuff either.
OK, what exactly did you like about it?
Good question, I guess the storyline keep me interested enough to want to find out what happened to the characters, so I kept watching it. And as much as I noticed I thought it was filmed well (shot well, good effect, etc) I don’t really analyze my casual entertainment that deeply. Books I take more notice of but I think that’s because I’m actively engaged with them, where TV/movies are mostly passive activities for me.
Your opinion is bad and you should feel bad.
The Supreme Court also accuses Mr Torres of omission – failure to act – in his role as the capital’s security chief.
I swear I have seen this movie.
Except their Supreme Court is more like our Ninth District or the California Supreme Court.
You mean the federal Ninth Circuit? While they have traditionally been the most leftist of the federal circuits, other circuits, including the traditionally conservative Fourth, are close behind.

Remember in Nazi Germany when the government allowed people to say what they wanted, even if it went against the party in power? It was terrifying.
So… accepting cookies and banning speech are not the same thing? Disingenuous cunt or fucking moron? Both?
I’ve said for years that you couldn’t come up with a better useful idiot lapdog for the elite if you grew one from scratch in a lab. Kim Jong Un wishes he could find a newscaster that would spout whatever bullshit he could dream up with half as much sincerity and conviction.

I remember the glorious before times of 2000 when it was at least superficially agreed upon that people could say things you disagree with and that we had learned the harms of appointing arbiters of speech from human history. It was at least publicly agreed that censoring unpopular views was dangerous.
“I may not agree with what you are saying but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” became “If you offend me I want you censored.”
Which became “they wouldn’t have needed to send him to that work camp if he had just thought about Xer’s feelings.

Putridmeat: the placement of the wall makes me think it wasn’t structural, usually you wouldn’t put a support between members in a truss, should be at one of the joints, if it was needed.
Of course, it could have been in a weird spot to get the right kitchen size. Kind of strange.
Yes, a bit weird. That wall continues down the length of the rest of the house and delineates the main hallway, so that’s why it’s set back 1.5 feet from the centerline. To me, seems they should have just vaulted the whole thing? Maybe they ordered trusses for the full house and it was cheaper to just take one half rather than build 4 or 5 dedicated trusses of the correct size to line up with the wall? I don’t know, I’m just hoping my roof stays where it’s supposed to!
You’ll be OK. I think the trusses were full length and the dropped ceiling was done for cosmetic reasons but also to have a wall behind the kitchen to hang the cabinets on. Next HH take a walk through my house, no plans, no blue prints. A few mistakes/errors but 30 years later here we are.

Ugh. Mrs. TOK just started roller derby again after retiring for a few years. Now she just saw online that the team’s rules are if you’re unvaccinated, or don’t want to disclose your vaccination status, you have to wear a mask to practice. She’s just going to pretend she didn’t see that.
It’s common knowledge vaccines do nothing to stop transmission, yet there are still those who cling to that superstition. Seems strange to me.
FTFY
Canadian Health Care – there you go.
Weird. Catching covid is safer than roller derby.
Probably. Not so much in deaths, but definitely in injuries.
Not true. If you get injured playing roller derby and you test positive for COVID at the hospital, the injuries are counted as “because of COVID.”
Apparently not.
A DACA recipient had this to say to Minnesota lawmakers last week: “We are voting.”
“We are voting. Our people are voting. If you don’t pass this bill, people are going to vote you all out,” Angelico Bello, who said she is a DACA recipient, told the House Transportation Committee Jan. 10.
DACA stands for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, which is an Obama-era rule that protects its recipients from deportation for renewable, two-year periods.
“Deferred action does not provide lawful status,” according to the United States government. Only U.S. citizens can vote in Minnesota.
Deport those assholes.
If anything that sounds like a direct threat to the supposed constitutional mandate of a republican form of government.
What the fuck are you talking about? Obviously we’re a democracy. As in an bureaucratic dictatorship under single party rule of the democrats. Obviously you weren’t paying attention in civics class.
I thought we were an anarcho-capitalist commune…

He and Vince Neil sure haven’t aged well.
There is a possibility drugs may have been involved.
Wonder how many kilos of coke they went through?
Izzy is like the original bassist from Janes Addiction. They were pretty much what drove the sound, and when they went, it was over.

DAVOS WATCH: USA climate envoy John Kerry claims that the WEF globalists are the “select group of human beings” touched by something at some point in their lives that caused them to have a savior complex

John Kerry, of course, includes himself in that group.

“SEIZED IN TEXAS: TSA agents at the San Antonio International Airport discovered this 84 mm caliber weapon in checked luggage! Agents say it was undeclared, as required when traveling with firearms or weapons.”
https://twitter.com/kwtx/status/1615090270038642689
I guess you could hit someone with it.
It was deactivated too. Although more dangerous than miniature plastic pistols and pop tarts.
I was looking at the actual rules and while it’s a prohibited weapon that must be checked, im not sure he was required to declare it. Only firearms and starter guns are required to be declared. Replicas are not specially called out nor are replicas defined as firearms, though they are as part of the definition of a weapon.
https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2003/02/14/03-3736/prohibited-items
Thanks!
It was checked.
Though like anything, I’m sure that the actual file federal register wording doesn’t matter that much when it’s ultimately up to the TSA to make the call to allow something or not (and delay or prevent you from flying).
An assault bazooka, complete with the thing that goes up.

“Looks like the Brazilian J6 witch hunt is underway.”
It’s America’s gift to global statists. Australia’s SBS wonders if “it could happen here”: https://www.sbs.com.au/news/podcast-episode/could-a-us-style-insurrection-happen-here/fr7mk1b5n
Promo line: “A week after Capitol Hill-style riots in Brazil – there are calls for a crackdown on Australian politicians spreading election conspiracies. The push comes with a warning: it could happen here.”
I’m sure whatever the FBI is called there can figure out how to whip up a J6 of their own.
True but not how you mean.
“Those of us who understand that Donald Trump is a fraud and a liar are grasping tightly to those differences, and I get it. I get it that what Donald Trump did is totally different than what Joe Biden did. But as a prosecutor, I will tell you, we need to have a sober moment because when a jury is trying to figure out whether someone should be held criminally responsible, that’s going to be in their head. Let’s not kid ourselves here. The easiest case for the special counsel prosecutor to make against Donald Trump were the documents at Mar-a-Lago before this. Now it is no longer as easy. It is probably very difficult because the whataboutism is going to be rampant in that jury room. I think it’s important for us to recognize it may not be fair, it may not be right, but that’s the reality of where we are.”
I’m pretty sure if we were to read the applicable laws they would potentially charge Trump with, they’d be just as applicable to Biden. Because the law isn’t going to say shit about the amount of classified material (won’t even differentiate based on classification), I guarantee it doesn’t care about intent (nor has that ever mattered when going after peons for mishandling of classified materials), and not handing them over when asked isn’t an aspect of the crime…especially for a former president.
You think they will levy the Espionage Act upon Biden? If it is a way to get him to step aside maybe, otherwise its going to be what it has been forever, a fine and a don’t do that.
I’m just talking about the actual letter of the law for those engaging in special pleading. We already saw with Hillary how they handle one of their own. It’s “no reasonable prosecutor.”
I think we’ve also seen enough of the J6 and Trump admin trials to realize “No DC jury”. That’s what’s extra horrendous about the two tier justice system – they’ve got the jury pool to make it work. Logic, reason or the actual laws be damned.
Don’t forget the judges. Remember Judge Sullivan?
DOJ “we framed this guy, so we want to drop the charges”
Sullivan “Screw that! I am appointing a special prosecutor to go after him for pleading guilty in your frame up!!”
Sullivan is a very special piece of shit who went out of his way to render an unjust verdict.
Makes me think he was fucking dead boys and got caught.
I am so completely black pilled right now, I am noticing a huge increase in references to “keep and bear arms” alongside “go against the US Military (including our president…again) and a heavy push for new gun control as a recognition that they will have pushed it beyond the ballot box before too long.
No I don’t think they will. It’s a big reach for Trump and they aren’t close to closing that deal.
I guarantee it doesn’t care about intent (nor has that ever mattered when going after peons
Her Shrillness could not be reached for comment.
whataboutism – only applicable when we want it to be.
Speaking of weapons seized at the airport-
Dd anybody else see the story about the guy who got busted for having a disassembled pistol tucked in peanut butter jars in his luggage?
At what point is a weapon not a weapon? It;s certainly no threat to anybody in that condition.
I have wondered if having a disassembled pistol counts as “parts” and if that would relieve you of getting hassled on the road. Sounds like a no.
No, but if you post it I’m sure we can all read it in a jif.
Damn skippy.

Ask, and ye shall receive
A Rhode Island man was arrested last week after TSA agents discovered parts of a disassembled semi-automatic handgun disguised within two jars of peanut butter in his luggage, according to a news release from the TSA.
The agency said a checked bag containing the peanut butter jars triggered an alarm in an X-ray unit at JFK airport on December 22. Closer inspection revealed the gun parts, wrapped in plastic and “jammed” into two jars of what appear to be Jif brand peanut butter. The gun’s magazine was loaded with bullets, according to the TSA.
“The gun parts were artfully concealed in two smooth creamy jars of peanut butter, but there was certainly nothing smooth about the way the man went about trying to smuggle his gun,” said John Essig, TSA’s federal security director for JFK Airport, in the release. “Our officers are good at their jobs and are focused on their mission — especially during the busy holiday travel period.”
Port Authority Police confiscated the handgun parts and arrested the man, according to the TSA.
Port Authority. Why did it have to be the Port Authority?
Ugh… leave comedy to the bears, Ebenezer ^W Essig!
He shouldn’t have left the shells in, now he’s firmly in a jam.
Haha, “in a jif”.
Look at you and your exceptional taste in music, MS.

Conspiracy theorists assemble
George Soros’ absence from the World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting in Davos, Switzerland has prompted questions and fresh conspiracy theories about the event.
The billionaire financier tweeted on January 10 that his absence was “due to an unavoidable scheduling conflict,” adding that he planned to deliver a speech in Munich on February 16—a full calendar month after the WEF annual meeting began.
His non-attendance—alongside inaccurate claims that the WEF’s founder, Klaus Schwab, was also not attending his own conference—has fuelled unfounded speculation on social media that Soros’ absence was premeditated to avoid a catastrophic event.
“Is something going down?” Lavern Spicer, a Republican candidate in Florida, wondered on Twitter. “Something is brewing…” wrote James Bradley, a GOP candidate in California.
Soros’ wealth, his Jewish background and the volume of his political and philanthropic donations have made him a prime target for conspiracy theories, many of which center around him being part of a global cabal that seeks to create a new world order.
Pay no attention to his stated goals or his actual behavior.
He decided to fly down to Guatemala to get first dibs on the children in the latest caravan one of his NGO’s was organizing to invade the North.
Of course. Soros and Klaus are stealing the plot from the most recent bond movie. Attract all the most powerful people in the world to a decedent party with drugs and prostitutes and have a “terrorist” strike, eliminating all competition. After that, it becomes Highlander. There can be only one…….
He has a conflict with one of his skin-stretching appointments.
Go fuck yourself, Newsweek.

Because none of these cuntes have ever used this exact term before.
Obligatory.
GlibFIt from 60 years ago.
And now we’re fat fucks. Sad.
And we can’t even determine what a boy or girl is
Through his Open Society Foundations, grant-giving organisations, Soros has distributed $32 billion, and was the largest individual donor in the 2022 midterms, having earlier donated vast sums to Democrat presidential bids. His role as a generous benefactor to many causes has spurred theories that he uses his wealth to influence global affairs.
Pay no attention to that man behind the checkbook!
Wheeee!
Speaking of psychopaths…
I’m sure he gives his money out with no strings attached whatsoever you cynical fuck.

“ He also said he wanted to express admiration for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the “heroic conduct of the Ukrainian people;” and that he now believed Ukrainian membership in NATO one day would be an “appropriate outcome.””
Well that’s a turn-about.
The Russians are going to be pressed until they annex the whole country if the west keeps it up. There won’t even be a rump state left to join.
Putin will die any day now from that cancer we’ve been hearing about, and then all of those anti-war Russian moderates who are perfectly fine with Ukraine being part of NATO will rise up and take over the country now that bad bald man is dead and put a stop to the war. NATO expansion will live happily ever after.

We’re all inflation fighters now
The president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said Tuesday her institution was drafting a new law targeting the region’s green industries, hoping to make Europe the home of clean tech and innovation.
“We will put forward a new Net-Zero Industry Act … The aim will be to focus investment on strategic projects along the entire supply chain. We will especially look at how to simplify and fast-track permitting for new clean tech production sites,” she said at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
“We need to create a regulatory environment that allows us to scale up fast and to create conducive conditions for sectors crucial to reaching net zero. This includes wind, heat pumps, solar, clean hydrogen, storage and others.”
The announcement comes just months after the U.S. launched its own Inflation Reduction Act. The sweeping U.S. legislation, which was approved by U.S. lawmakers in August and includes a record $369 billion in spending on climate and energy policies, has received some angry responses among the 27 EU nations. The European Commission, the executive arm of the EU, has previously said there are “serious concerns” about the design of the financial incentives in the package.
Damn the torpedoes, full sail ahead.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/justice-department-considered-but-rejected-role-in-biden-documents-search-11673991364
“The Justice Department considered having FBI agents monitor a search by President Biden’s lawyers for classified documents at his homes but decided against it, both to avoid complicating later stages of the investigation and because Mr. Biden’s attorneys had quickly turned over a first batch and were cooperating, according to people familiar with the matter. “
That’s why when Trump’s lawyers were cooperating they sent a SWAT team with CNN in tow.
No, wait…
That’s how the FBI conducts raids, right? They let the target determine what evidence to hand over and at best the FBI monitors that.
I’d love to see Trump humiliated, but really – how can you ever humiliate someone with absolutely no sense of shame?
This statement is true. Decades of Republican bullshit on the issue, and it was Trump – a 90’s era Democrat who had probably forced many a young women into an abortion she was uneasy about – who ended the federal “right” to an abortion. It was that prick Bush The Lesser’s pick Roberts who would have blocked the thing if he could have. Maybe Bush had gotten on his personal phone to Jesus and relayed something to Roberts.
That one stings the GOPe the most.
Abortion isn’t the most important issue to me. Someone who deludes himself about his greatness – a lot like Biden, except a little more coherent – isn’t ever going to be someone I trust, let alone be loyal to. Trump fucks people over and expects loyalty – that is total narcissism.
It was the most important thing to a shit ton of Evangelicals, at least officially.
And they still aren’t saving every baby’s soul.
You just figured out that Trump is a narcissist?
Hell, even Google autocorrect knows that… I typed “Trump is a na…” And google picked the right word.
Also, narcissism is not the useful way to understand Trump. He is much more simple than that.
Trump is game theory Tit for Tatwith occasional defections. This is the most effective overall strategy, and it is what he uses. It is also what most of Hollywood uses.
You complement me and I complement you. Back and forth… Until you diss me. Then, scorched earth. Every Hollywood producer. Every agent. And Trump.
He always opens with obsequious praise. He expects the same in return.
It is like a New Jersey dude saying hi! They push you in the chest and threaten “The fuck you looking at?”. You reply with a shove back and a sharp comeback and you are cool.
It is meaningless, but it says “we are playing the game”.
Witness, a minor incident:. Trump and Penn Gillette (who also plays tit for tat)
Penn always said nice things about trump after doing the apprentice. Guarded, but still nice enough. Trump always praised Penn glowingly. “The best. Great show. Fantastic. “.
Then pennis asked about Trump for president. Penn can’t hold his water any more, so he says no way he would vote for Trump.
Trump immediately turns on Penn… “I hear their show is ..not good. He is low quality. They probably are going to close down.. I hear they are doing poorly. That is what I am told.. I haven’t seen it.”.
Penn returns fire with equal venom. They play the same game.
That is Trump. In life. In politics. In diplomacy.
He is very easy to understand in these terms. He will do a deal with anyone, the devil included. And he will go scorched earth if crossed. He will also take any advantage he has.
I see the Navy is playing with dolphins again. Check out this job posting:

Great, rape dolphins with frikkin laser beams, just what we need.
If we don’t have a drone that outperforms dolphins both in absolute terms and on total cost, we have an incompetent procurement system.
40 years ago this was a thing. But now?
