Good morning my malcontents! Due to us having a nice rack or the rack server, or something like that (I don’t know, I don’t speak nerd) we give you open links this morning.
Have at it my crusty curmudgeons!

About The Author
Banjos
Wife of sloopy, mother to three bright, curious, and highly active young girls. Perpetually exhausted.
It’s getting First in here…
So take off all your clothes…
Quit gaying it up…
Not that there is anything wrong with that.
If anyone needed a police beating…
How did St. Greta get there? It’s a long walk from Muri Buri Land to Germany.
Another reason to try to buy Greenland, establish it as an autonomous state and move all the watermelons there to let them play out their wildest fantasies using whatever power they see fit from on the island. See how long they last.
Look… it is right there in the name, St. Greta!
Hard to choose which side to cheer for.
Morning, Banjos.
“Hallo!” growled Scrooge, in his accustomed voice, as near as he could feign it. “What do you mean by coming here at this time of day?”
“I am very sorry, sir,” said Bob. “I am behind my time.”
I didn’t need to read this to know what kind of republican Cocaine Mitch was/is: He is one completely bought & paid for by the CCP.
Speaking of disgust with Republicans. Apparently the Bulwark is now [openly] a Democratic house organ.
I had never seen these quotes.
yawning chasm between the Republican establishment and conservative voters who had long thought they had a home in the Republican party
Assumes facts nowhere in evidence except in the imagination of the writer. Falls directly under the “no one I know voted for Nixon” fallacy.
Wait… which part are you disputing? That conservative voters thought they had a place in the Republican party? That the GOPe has demonstrated suitable disregard for the policies / votes of conservative voters that you might fairly characterize it as a “yawning chasm” between the party stated goals and their actions?
Because with the omnibus, attempt at dreamer amnesty, gun control laws, etc…. I think the need for facts to dispute it would be more on your side than the writer’s from where I sit.
The stated goals are a lie and have been for a long time. Anyone voting Republican based on that, and not what they ACTUALLY DO, is a fool – conservative or otherwise. That was my point about Reagan and the Department of Education.
Ok… so you’re just saying they shouldn’t have thought it (even though it is pretty clear that regardless of Reagan, etc… they have up to this point). Gotcha.
Yeah – I mean I still vote for plenty of Republicans. But not because I believe a single word they say. I just assume they will be less bad than the Democrat alternative.
There is a yawning chasm, and has been for quite some time. Many Repub voters simply refuse/fail to see it, falling for the marketing campaign instead.
They have very little in the way of options, though.
The Loyal Opposition remains loyal. Film at eleven.
Hint: not loyal enough for the Bulwark!
You’re just saying that because of Coco.
The Hispanic face of white supremacy and insurrection.
…and I’m going to keep calling all my political opponents names in the spirit of unity, or something.”
It’s almost like sticking your dick in the crazy – just at the political level instead of the hot-chick.
Ghost of Thomas Jefferson hardest hit.
Well that political violence wasn’t directed at out elected officials. Once 51 percent of the fraction of people voting vote to fuck you over, you’re really powerless to morally and ethically object you know.
You know who else was (mostly) elected to power in the early-middle last century?
Some dictator-wannabe in the U.S.?
Juan Peron? [c’mon people]
The dude that fucked Madonna?
Pope Pius XII?
FDR?
Andrew Tate: Bodyguard says ‘Some girls thought they’d be his next wife’
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-64285341
“In an exclusive broadcast interview with the BBC, Bogdan Stancu said more than 100 women had passed through Mr Tate’s compound in Bucharest, since he began work there two years ago.
The former police intelligence officer said he was sometimes asked to physically remove women from the Tate house for being “too drunk” or “making problems”, but that no force was ever used.”
This guy worked for the Ministry of Internal Affairs “intelligence unit” which is the direct descendant of their secret police arm during communism. Makes it more likely old Tate was mobbed up/. the service is still colloquially called „Doi și-un sfert” because it was unit 0215 during commie times
Bitchez were trying to make bank, but they fell shirt and then got mad.
Imagine the crazy that lowlife attracts. *shudder*
I still have no idea who this guy is.
Neither do I. But the little I’ve learned makes me think that’s not a bad thing.
whaddup doh’
I’m working!!!!11

Government needs to be able to control people, and the best way is to control their access to money…
Modernity is turning out to be a lot more about dystopia and evil fucks pretending to do good returning us back to a feudal system, than science and engineering being used for the good of all humanity.
“We know we don’t always agree with our elected officials, but that should never, ever lead to violence.”
Never say never.
Someone should ask these fucks how they feel about the violence that followed for days after the 2016 election seated some orange guy in the WH.
lEgiTiMaTe prOtEsTz!!!
Romeo Void – Never Say Never – YouTube
Excellent!
Ditto. (I have that album.)
The government is violence given collective will. We can quibble about methods and secondary effects and such, but there is no ethical question to be solved here.
Who can die? Canada wrestles with euthanasia for the mentally ill
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-64004329
Back in the day people were concerned with preventing the mentally ill from suicide. But I am starting to wonder when the progs will make the case “this is what libertarianism looks like the poor kill themselves”
They should euthanize anyone that ever did blackface…
You know who else wanted to kill all the mentally ill?
Oliver Wendell Holmes?
Let me guess. A German socialist?
A disillusioned German marxist that invented a new socialist racket to peddle his hate through?
You two are really terrible at this game.
Worse than…
lol
George Bernard Shaw?
“wrestles with”? They’re all on board. They want to euthanize people with depression, fer Chrissakes.
https://www.voanews.com/a/canada-soon-to-allow-euthanasia-for-the-mentally-ill/6866456.html
https://dailycitizen.focusonthefamily.com/canada-will-legalize-euthanasia-for-those-struggling-with-mental-illness/
Klaus gives thumbs up, his boy Twink of the North proceeds enthusiastically.
They want to euthanize people for being poor.
Exactly this, Tater! This is a much better revelation than that Rose chick being Thicc.
No, it isn’t.
Yes it is! Neener neener! I know you are but what am I?
Look there is no other way to achieve ‘You will own nothing’ unless we get population numbers down to the manageable amount.
^this^ Preach it bro!
Spend a few days on reddit, you’ll get to that point too…
Been there, done that. I’ve leaned that the avg age of Reddit posters is 15, and 15 year olds are dumber than rocks.
All depends on if the mentally ill agree with them, on everything. If they do, they are most beloved, see ‘Fettersquatch’.
Or gender dysphoria.
Gender Dysphoria is a social construct, get that Jordon guy on trail now!
“wrestles with” = “attempting to figure out how to sell it”

A Federal Judge Blocks New Jersey’s Sweeping Restrictions on Public Gun Possession
NJ tries an end-around on Bruen, gets slapped down.
Let’s see what happens to Illinois.
I would assume a similar result, since Bruen made it pretty clear that such shenanigans wouldn’t fly.
tries an end-around on Bruen
Seems like there should be consequences for this behavior.
I linked another article below arguing that such actions shouldn’t have any protection under qualified immunity, and they could be held personally liable.
When pigs fly, I know.
Well, there is one. Impeachment, it just doesn’t get used nearly enough.
I wake up at 5:50a if it’s my turn to do the links. Then I hit the snooze button for another 10 to 20 minutes before forcing myself out of bed, stumble to my kitchen to make myself coffee and eventually get to my desk where I search the web for articles for ya’ll to nitpick at. Then I do a quick google search for a featured image, try to find a song (which is always hindered by whatever ear worm is stuck in head) and then try to publish before 7a so I can go get my children dressed and off to school. If the website is broken between the window of 6a and 7a, ya’ll are waiting until I get back from my morning 3 mile walk if no one else is available to come along and throw something together.
You are women splaining us aren’t you?
Just kidding. Tell the people complaining to grow up.
It’s not complaining, it’s kvetching.
Thanks for all you do here Banjos.
Thanks for all you and your hubby do with the morning links. It’s very appreciated.
Second.
I read that comment to the tune of Dolly Parton’s 9-5.
I appreciate it, and I think we all understand when things go wrong that are out of our control.
Did you hear anyone complaining? We need a little thing to shake us out of complacency every now and then.
I never got the snooze thing though many people seem to use it
Your kids certainly take precedence over our snark (not that you need us to tell you that, Banjos). We can wait.
“If joes aren’t complaining, they aren’t happy.”
Just want to thank you for all the work you do on the website. Its better than family.
I don’t see how anyone manages to put together morning links that early. That you do that while dealing with kids, pets, Sloopy, etc is incredible.
It sounds like you need to rearrange your priorities. The world revolves around us.
I don’t need an alarm. We have seven cats, who will all come ambling into the bedroom at precisely 6 am, EVERY DAY, and start marching up and down the bed, headbutting me as they go.

Should State Officials Receive Qualified Immunity for Creatively Resisting Bruen?
Interesting article.
No, they should be subject to both civil and criminal liability for their efforts to infringe on the basic rights of the citizendry.
In fact, there should be No such thing as qualified immunity, or immunity of any kind for acts in office. There should be hightened liabilty for acting in an official capacity.
More or less the article’s take, with some legal analysis.
Of course not, because qualified immunity should not be a thing.
While I’m at it, I’d also like a pony…

The UK Government has decided to block gender reform legislation in Scotland
Color me shocked
“With the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill passed by MSPs from all parties in Holyrood on December 22, the deadline will be reached on Wednesday.
The Bill will allow trans people to obtain a gender recognition certificate (GRC) without the need for a medical diagnosis — a process known as “self-identification”.
It will also permit 16 and 17-year-olds to apply for a GRC for the first time, and would reduce the amount of time a person has to live in their acquired gender before they can be granted the document.”
“Acquired gender”. Just like picking out a jacket at the clothing store.
SHIT

Get ready… shit post!
So, I hear this morning from our most beloved TMITE sources that Elon Musk is now on trial.
Every fucking one who the commies do not like are on trial now, forever. And this we call democracy and justice!
We are now doing Soviet show trials. Awesome.
Due process is now do process.
Fuck, we already moved on to the gulags. Now we ready the boxcars to round up the rest of us non-compliant.
Have you gotten your next Forever Jab yet?
[Defentant – Verdict – Sentence – Trial] or [Verdict – Defendant – Trial – Sentence]?
Defendant-Gulag. We don’t have time to waste on that other stuff. Our democracy is at stake here!
A show trial contains a trial and those other things.
I’m trying to keep from having a nice rack… need to walk more.
Yeah, I started doing 2.5 miles around a lake. Then I realized topsiders are not the best shoe for this, and I’m waiting for my new Asics.
Good for you, Pengie!
And good for you, SDF-7.
We deal with defectors the old fashioned way
A former commander in Russia’s Wagner private military company has fled to Norway and is seeking asylum after crossing that country’s arctic border, according to Norwegian police and a Russian activist.
Andrei Medvedev, in an interview with a Russian activist who helps people seek asylum abroad, said that he feared for his life after refusing to renew his service with Wagner.
Medvedev said that after completing his contract, and refusing to serve another, he was afraid of being executed in the same manner of Yevgeny Nuzhin – a defector from Wagner who was killed on camera with a sledgehammer.
Retirement is not an option?
I think I’ve found the next role for Liam Neesson.

No wonder their pension plan is flush with cash.
Some trivia for people that still read HyR,
That particularly loony commenter? By his handle, he was kicked out of Scientology for being too insane (CoS terminology is “squirrel tech”)
I saw an ad for a Scientology network during the playoff games.
1. All the proggie Jesus commercials make me think that the advertising for NFL games may not be going for what it uses to be.
2. I had no fucking clue Scientology had their own cable network. I hope it’s Tom Cruise films 24/7.
Pie asked in the last thread about going back to Reason:
Yeah, he’s on The Hill now. Kim Iversen is also on that show, and she’s more libertarian than he is.
They kicked Kim off for being too based.
I’m as shocked as a Vichy police captain.
LOL
Elon Musk is now on trial.
His entire defense should consist of nothing more than, “Don’t you people know a joke when you hear one?”
Jokes are white supremacy!
The scientific process was created to battle this sort of idiotic shit. In the USSR scientists had to go out of their way to make science conform to marxism and marxist ideology too. We all saw how well that worked for most of them and for the USSR.
And the fact that the so-called “real scientists” embrace this shit and don’t immediately laugh it out of the room shows that they are just a priestly class with a different set of gods.
It shows that they like their cushy careers and are loathe to give them up by opposing the woke mob.
The scientific process is just white male privilege and Western cultural hegemony.
Why is that “nonbinary” hand holding up two fingers?
“There are 10 types of people in the world…. those that understand binary and those that don’t.”
LOL
I’ve already told my wife if they want to know what happens next in Brazil, just ask me. Old News.
If I was Greenwald I’d already be swimming for another shore line. If he gets on a boat or plane, I’m sure the expedition papers have already been forwarded to the Biden admin. Not sure how he will fare in Mexico or Uruguay, but I’d suggest he get that research done right now.
What supposed crime has he committed in the US?
Lèse-majesté
We’ll make that up later. Same for Bolsonaro. Expedite now, worry about details later, our democracy is at stake here! *Max Boot furiously pens article over at the Guardian…
“Max Boot” – such a good name for a tankie.
Best commie journalist name of all time.
That’s just the shortened version. They leave off the “Stamping on a Face Forever” part.
Or maybe it’s just “Licker”.
Yeah, Stalin is rolling over in his grave that he didn’t think of that name.
Criminal conspiracy with Wikileaks seems the obvious easy show trial.
Uruguay is supposedly quite nice and full of expats from Brazil/Argentina.

So, how many instances of additional classified documents being discovered happened over the weekend? Because of the way NPR reports things I couldn’t tell, but are we up to five instances now?
Classify that under ‘Diversion Tactics’, see that shiny thing over there!
We must arrest anyone who has had any association with the Biden family. So, most of both major parties and the federal government. We’ll sort out guilt at trial. Expect it to go as fast as the trial of the January 6th political prisoners.

Idiot wind shifts
President Joe Biden began the new year with the political winds at his back.
Amid the chaos of a fractured Republican majority trying to elect a House speaker, his administration was making a major public effort to show how the laws bolstering his ambitious policy priorities were showing tangible results. Democrats had evaded a bruising in the midterm elections and retained a Senate majority. There were signs inflation was beginning to ease. His party had coalesced around his prospective reelection bid. And his most apparent Republican challenger had not yet gained the full-throated support of his base.
But in the span of just a week, Biden’s political trajectory has dramatically shifted.
News broke one week ago that classified documents from Biden’s time as vice president were found at his former personal office in November. And now, the White House has moved into defensive mode in the face of questions about a lack of transparency and potential legal issues involving the misplacement of the documents.
Blood in the water. Let the feeding frenzy commence.
‘Transparency’ Hahahahaha!!! That doesn’t mean what you think it means, Obama can confirm.

In a way, I hope San Fran moves forward with this idea.
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/san-fran-city-panel-urges-reparations-5-million-black-adult
As long as the money comes from taxpayers all over the US I would agree
If by ‘San Fran’ you mean Texas and Florida, I would agree.
I mean from ‘where the money will come from’. Should have been a reply to Pie ‘If by All over the US’.
What about descendants of Union soldiers who were killed or wounded in the Civil War and who never owned slaves? If any of this goes through, I think they should get reparations from black people. They fought for no direct interest of their own, only to benefit slaves. If there’s going to be people getting paid, they should demand their “fair” share. Also, descendants of Slavs should get money from Turks. Also….
I think the Chinese have a better case in CA than blacks.
Remembers back fondly on the days the chinks and n***ers were welcome, but no Irish.
Giving $5 million to every black resident will surely have no unintended economic consequences.
I will have no effect on real estate prices or rents, it is known.

a San Francisco government advisory committee on reparations has recommended the city pay eligible black residents age 18 years and older $5 million apiece.
Lol…oh, wait, you’re serious.
Next on the wish list: “a comprehensive debt forgiveness program that clears all educational, personal, credit card, payday loans, etc.” The group said this measure will get blacks out of “an inescapable cycle of debt” so they can “build wealth.”
Sounds like you just want to be given other peoples money.
But wait — there’s more: Those who qualify for reparations should also receive payroll tax, business tax and property tax credits, the panel says.
I’ll throw in a Unicorn.
I am sure the people of coal country have all the right economic conditions laid out in front of them, solely based on that they are white.

Oh hell yeah – the epic grift will bankrupt them. Much lulz.
One aspect of Russiagate I’ve never really heard anyone talk about was how convenient it was for the critters at the DOJ and FBI who may have been at risk of losing their jobs (sooner, in a few cases) had they not been part of a big investigation of Trump. It was noted to some extent that Comey couldn’t be fired because Trump would be attacked endlessly for trying to influence the probe. It would be clear proof that hew as a Russian stooge or some such bullshit.
While Comey eventually made his exit, his underlings remained. The DOJ is the most powerful of the federal bureaucracies, and Trump was basically handcuffed and prevented from making any real change at the top levels.
Look, regime change was working. But that wasn’t ‘real’ regime change. We need to replace The Middle East and poor sheep farmers, with Russia and Putin, the real regime change. The risk of nuclear war is totes worth it. We’ve already instructed the plebes on how to survive this by staying inside until after the blasts.
Curious.

Indigenous women from all three countries will convene in the coming weeks to facilitate discussions about priorities and best practices including in areas of political, economic, and social development.

Needs more enlightened global utopian fascism
Chief executives and government ministers from around the globe are gathering for the annual World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, where for the last three years the focus has very much been on how to tackle the huge series of shocks that has hit the world economy.
From the wet market of Wuhan, to the Kremlin’s crazed calculations, pandemic and war have conditioned a path of record inflation and surging debts, with a third of the world expected to be in recession this year.
But there is some light at the end of the tunnel. And however distant a ski resort full of global leaders may sound, WEF is the sort of place where you get a sense as to whether a three-year storm may start to subside.
——-
However, there are also newer tensions emerging, raising questions about how far inflation will eventually fall, and some concern about where Britain sits in a much changed world.
The big shadow here is the threat of a transatlantic green trade war. Joe Biden’s new legislation to boost America’s green economy includes £300bn of subsidies for the purchase of electric cars, but only if they are mainly manufactured in North America. The Inflation Reduction Act also affects a swathe of other manufacturing and production and is persuading some European companies to relocate factories to the US. Even fertiliser companies are having their heads turned and wondering why European leaders aren’t bringing in similar laws.
The US suggests its new legislation is aimed at competing with China. But EU leaders are furious and about to respond, potentially with significant subsidies of their own, presumably also containing “Buy European” clauses.
Lie back, and think of Top Men.

Next on the wish list: “a comprehensive debt forgiveness program that clears all educational, personal, credit card, payday loans, etc.” The group said this measure will get blacks out of “an inescapable cycle of debt” so they can “build wealth.”
That’s totally legit. You wouldn’t want them to have to use that reparations loot to pay off their debts. That would be crazy racist.

“If you need to work about taking on the federal government, you need some F-15s. You don’t need an AR-15.”
It sounds like I need both. Never mind that it would not be all that difficult to turn a fighter jet into a multimillion dollar paperweight.
“The Second Amendment, from the day it was passed, limited the type of people who could own a gun and what type of weapon you could own. You couldn’t buy a cannon.”
I wonder who was limited. And yes you could.
This new divided Davos backdrop to the global economy could have profound consequences for how much things cost, and where they are made. It is a precise reversal of the consensus seen at the World Economic Forum for decades. Things are very much up for grabs here.
And lastly, many corporate leaders seem to have spent their Christmases being shocked by the cost-saving potential of the new artificial intelligence platform ChatGPT 3. There is a school of thought that the next iteration of this technology from OpenAI – ChatGPT 4 – could be so impactful as to cause a global economic shock. It will be a quantum leap for technology, but at the expense of making millions of existing jobs redundant.
The Emperor needs a new wardrobe again.
“potential of the new artificial intelligence platform ChatGPT 3”
Hahahahahahaha!!!! Oh, bwahahahahaha!!!, please make it stop, it hurts so bad!
This is when you know they are really gaslighting you hard.
Or, this is when you realize they are stupid enough to believe that and still have more money then you.
“at the expense of making millions of existing jobs redundant”
OMG, will no one think of the laptoppers!
You remember them. The ones who fucked over the people who couldn’t sit at home in their PJs and Zoom their way to a paycheck.
My mom has a friend who is living out of her car. She wants to find a place for her to rent at a completely unrealistic rate, so I tried. Nope. We were talking about vanlife yesterday and said, “If you can find one of those, I’ll buy it for her.” “Um…you don’t know how much they go for.” “Well, maybe not.”
So today I go looking at some of these vanlife builds and I’m like, *I* don’t know how much they go for. This one is $164,000. This one is the cheapest one on the site and it’s $49,900.

Yes. You have to build it yourself if you want a cheap vanlife. And that takes some level of skill.
I would have to outsource the electricity. I do not understand things like “amp hours.” I do know I’d want lithium batteries.
Lithium is for people with $$$. regular Lead-Acid is just fine, it is just more weight. Look at older Class C RV’s, and you still need to pay for a spot to park the vehicle.. most towns have anti-camping laws.
If you already have a pickup truck, you can put one of this style in the bed:
