BREAKING – BIDENS, BRIBERY, BURISMA: MTG holds emergency press conference.
DB received this postcard in the mail. He wasn’t happy about it. Note the fine print.
THE FUTURE OF HEALTH BEGINS WITH YOU: Who doesn’t want to improve healthcare? You don’t need a degree or research skills, all you need to do is sign a consent form, answer some health surveys, and donate a “biosample.” You’ll join a community of one million Americans who are doing something to improve healthcare. And they’ll give you $25 totally free money. What could possibly go wrong? Now, now, you’re being paranoid and antisocial again. I’m sure this is totally legit and the government would never misuse the information.
FINE POLICE WORK: So, let’s say you’re an officer with the Prince George’s County PD, and you get called to a house for a wellness check on an old person. You and your partner smell decomposition, and find trash bags containing what appear to be human remains. Do you immediately secure the scene and call backup, or do you just wander away leaving the (living) occupants of the house unsupervised access to a potential crime scene and evidence? “While walking out of the basement, officers said they noticed a knife on the ground. When they returned, the knife was allegedly missing.” So, no body cam footage and nobody even photographs the scene? Long-time Glibs will remember from TOS that PGPD is the same fine police organization that raided a village mayor’s house and shot his dogs.
THE WAR AGAINST MERITOCRACY CONTINUES GAINING GROUND: Colleges ditching use of standardized tests for admissions. “Admissions offices increasingly recognize that test requirements, given their negative disparate impact on Black and Latinx applicants, are race-conscious factors, which can create unfair barriers to access higher education.” They also come right out and say they are doing this in case SCOTUS strikes down affirmative action for college admissions.
GROUNDS FOR (NATIONAL) DIVORCE? I’m sure you’ve already heard this, but California Governor Gavin Newsom wants to amend the US Constitution to enact “commonsense gun control.” I’m unable to locate the text of this proposed amendment, but all sources say he wants to ban assault weapons (definition not given), raise the minimum age for all gun purchases to 21, mandate universal background checks, and institute a “reasonable” (again, not defined) waiting period.
SOME, I’M SURE, ARE VERY FINE PEOPLE: Muslim parents join protests against woke indoctrination in government schools. These protests have traditionally been spearheaded by socially conservative Christians. Liberals, who tend to fawn over Muslims and ignore the anti-gay views of many Muslims while taking conservative Christians to task for similar views, are confused and afraid. “This issue has unfortunately put some, not all of course, some Muslim families on the same side of an issue as white supremacists, and outright bigots. However, the folks I’ve talked to here today, I would not put in the same category as those folks, although it’s again complicated.” –Montgomery County (Maryland) Councilcritter and unintentional comedian Kristin Mink
For some reason this song popped into my head today.
I think it’s mostly people being incompetent in being crooked.

“and donate a “biosample”
euphemism?
If they want biosamples, they can just go to San Francisco with a shovel and a bucket.
STEVE SMITH DONATE BIOSAMPLE!!!

Who doesn’t want their DNA in a database?
And they’d never use the bio-samples to develop new strains of viruses, right?
Last week at the airport, they were letting people shortcut the long security line if they signed up for Clear facial recognition. Told my wife that I’d rather miss the flight.
If China wants to send hot spies to collect it, maybe?

Well, I’ve got my DNA in a database. But it’s to be a bone marrow donor if there’s a match in the DB.
From everyone who has (or may develop) a blood cancer, thank you Nephilium. I’d link to a Prince Buster song, but I’m sure you’ve got them all downloaded.
I linked it here as anyone can request a kit and get in the same database as well. I first learned of this organization when they had a table set up at a Dropkick Murphy’s show, it’s amazing how many uncaring punks and freaks were in line to give a sample and fill out the forms to be available in case they were needed.
For the record, I have yet to be called by them for a donation.
You are a good guy, Neph.
So I got bribed. Now what you gonna do about it Jack?
(the answer’s nothing btw because Garland’s an ubercorrupt POS asshole)
Probably right. If Team Stupid manages to retake the Senate next year, there could at least be some decent oversight.
You got to factor in a Trump factor as to retaking Senate and keeping House.
“mandate universal background checks”
Unless they want to do background checks in other galaxies, the entire U.S. has had those for thirty years.
Indeed. But it’s an article of faith to gun-grabbers that anyone can just buy a gun on the internet. They have no interest in objective truth.
Are those checks required for private sales and transfers? I’ve never done one of those.
Depends on the state.
And how deep the lake is?
This. Here in Alaska, if my neighbor wants to buy one of my guns, he can peel off hundred-dollar bills until I nod and then he can take the gun home.
In Colorado, whence we left, if my neighbor wanted to buy one of my guns, I’d have to find an FFL dealer to run the background checks and handle the transfer.
As it should be.
But in practice if they trace that back to you from criminal use what do you do?
You could have a bill of sale, but that doesn’t seem like a strong defense. Anything else people do?
Well you don’t sell the ones traceable back to you…duh
In PA, with private sales of long guns people may ask to see a LTCF to proceed with a sale. All handguns are FFL transfer with small family exceptions.
Long Term Care Facility
License to carry firearms.
CA has had universal background checks for decades. So obviously there is no gun crime in CA, right?
Indiana guns get around.
Arizona was traditionally the closer villain.
“It is easier to buy a gun than a book off of Amazon” or some shit…..
Fuck, I hate that guy.
There are no gun laws in other galaxies. That’s a “you folks” kind of thing. Watch any space movie. Blasters grow on trees.

“the same side of an issue as white supremacists”
How does anyone know what side that is? It’s not like anyone has a found any white supremacists and asked them.
There are plenty of them around, it’s just hard to talk to them because after their march they’re rushed off into the subway behind a police cordon.
If you don’t want perverts grooming your kids, you’re a white supremacist. Or maybe the bad kind of Muslim, or Latino white supremacist.
“Muslim Christian Fundamentalists” has a nice ring to it.
I bet the yuckier types of orthodox Jews and Hindus don’t care for kid grooming either.
White supremacists believe 2+2=4. Are you going to side with those guys and do “proper” math? White supremacists drive on the right side of the road. You need to start driving on the left to show that you are not one of them.
Don’t forget tipping. Clearly a white supremacist if you deign to recognize a servant for good service.
Could we get them to listen to “white supremacists breathe air…”
What a lovely graphic at the bottom of the post. Courtesy of Der Sturmer?
Thanks. I don’t know what the source is. I originally saw it a number of months back but don’t remember where. SugarFree was kind enough to track it down for me from my description but didn’t say where he found it. Some questions you just don’t ask.
That kind of diversity and inclusion (everyone except broken brain leftists) they don’t want.
Nothing like a common enemy to bring people together.
Yeah, Goebbels would have really enjoyed that one.
“I’m not antisemitic, I’m just against the jews who are really giant spiders controlling everything behind the scenes”.
That’s some graphic.
Adding to the irony is that conservative Christians are generally as deferential to Jews as secular leftists are hostile to them.
True, also [[[us]]]. God’s chosen people and you don’t mess with them.

FairTest Public Education Director Bob Schaeffer said a shift away from test usage, while not a perfect solution, is a workable one.
“Test-optional policies are a proven, race-neutral way to enhance campus diversity while maintaining academic quality,” he said [without evidence] in a release accompanying the survey.
Fixed it for ’em.
Where “enhance campus diversity” means “enroll enough token non-whites/Asians to keep antifa off our backs for another year”.
My God the bubble bursting on this shitshow is going to be epic.
It dawns on me that this makes perfect sense from a school’s perspective. As long as somebody gives them money, what the fuck do they care about the quality of the students or the education? The (formerly) good ones can probably coast on reputation and ride out the grift for a good decade or two before other people’s money runs out.
Some of them have endowments large enough that they could stop having classes, and just exist as a financial institution.

Roberts and Kavanaugh, you need scare quotes around “conservative”.
I have been assured these people are conservative. All the liberals say so as does the WP and NYT.
Just not the white supremacist that J. Thomas is.
i haven’t read through the comments yet, but it occurred to me earlier to wonder why Governor Hair Gel wants an entirely new Amendment instead of repealing the 2nd in total.
It opens up the door for a crap ton more constitutional amendments his new (illegal) citizens will approve that strip us of our rights entirely.
Newsom would create the Gulag Archipelago of the USA.

Got the gym location secured, and we get our keys next week. The big dilemma is pricing. We can’t compete with big box gyms for lowest price, but we don’t want our pricing to be “too exclusive” either. Thinking $50 a month at this point. There is a lot of thinking and strategizing involved. We’re not like David Hogg, who can just create a pillow company out of thin air and make millions.
Do you have a minimum # of members you’re shooting for? Maybe you can back into a break-even price at that point?
Yes, we’re working backward from $7k a month rent and expenses, which means 140 members @ $50. Which seems pretty doable.
You need a niche. Open a women’s gym that refuses entry to biological males.
Around here, you’d probably get a lot of people signing up just out of principle.
Then hire a good lawyer.
The issue to me is do you want to be Google Fi or Verizon Wireless?
One simple to understand price or a convoluted mess of plans that is probably 25% higher average per member.
There is a benefit as well as cost to the second approach. Stickier customers and more revenue, but higher administration and possibly grumpier customers.
My daughter’s climbing gym is like 90. My old globogym was 80ish. Xfit in my neighborhood runs 75-185
50 seems very reasonable for a hardcore and well equipped gym
That helps, thanks.
Are you planning to offer any other services? Cool T-shirts or other gear?
Will you be policing etiquette? That would be a terrific marketing point.
We’ll get some trainers (that pricing is another discussion), and we have a snazzy logo so merch will be on offer. Not so much policing etiquette, as allowing things that other places might not. Dropping weights is fine (we have bumper plates), chalk is fine, grunting is fine.
Cool! Let me know when the merch store goes live!
I meant putting weights away, using the bars properly, not tying up equipment when the gym is busy. Stuff that serious lifters detest.
$75/month is what I paid for a month to month contract at a no-bullshit but no-frills lifting gym, in a high-COL city.
This sounds promising.
And for pricing… I don’t know what the gym I belong to currently charges on a monthly basis. I’ve been a member for five or six years, so my monthly rate is probably not a good one to go by. Unfortunately, the gym chain no longer lists monthly rates on their website.
I use this place when I’m in the Philly area. Well equipped though a bit lousy with instagram folks. $55/month is their cheapest rate. $150/month for a premium membership that includes all sorts of extras.
“Test-optional policies are a proven, race-neutral way to enhance campus diversity while maintaining academic quality,”
Just hold a blind lottery.
That would make sense, unfortunately it would eliminate the loopholes that are there for kids of the well connected and big donors.
You might as well. It’s clear from their policies that they believe that the degree makes someone great and that they have little interest in actually attracting great students. Which really isn’t all that wrong. College is more about networking and getting the credentials to be part of the credentialed class in this country.
I read something that pointed out 50% of high-level corporate positions are filled out of just 12 schools. The article was pitching thumb-on-the-scale selective admission when the obvious solution to me was purely random selection. All are presumed to be equally competent for admissions purposes, so don’t engineer it – just don’t let the legacies, etc. have slots – make it entirely random who gets in.

A small bloc of conservative bomb-throwers is holding the floor of the House of Representatives hostage, forcing GOP leaders to cancel votes for the rest of the week.
For the second straight day, the conservatives blocked several leadership-backed bills from moving forward Wednesday in protest of Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s handling of the debt deal he struck with President Joe Biden.
The brazen revolt means this hard-right faction, made up mostly of House Freedom Caucus members, has ground legislating on the chamber floor to a halt, undermining the Republican majority and McCarthy’s power.
OMG muh nation’s vital business.

“So you’ve got the tail wagging the dog,” Womack told reporters. “You’ve got a small group of people who are pissed off, that are keeping the House of Representatives from functioning today, and I think the American people are not going to take too kindly to that.”
Moderate Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., described the conservative rebels this way: “It’s the Dysfunction Caucus.”
As we all know, Republicans have no principles, so this is nothing but petulant obstructionism.
Sounds like the problem could be solved by a handful ofDems crossing the aisle. Where’s muh bipartisanship?
I wonder if they can keep the house from functioning indefinitely.

The NH House passed a budget today which goes to Sununu’s desk. He’s expected to sign it. It looks to me like a pile of shit except for one thing: State of Emergency reform. Sununu is going to be strongarmed into signing something that he doesn’t like. Once signed, States of Emergency can last no longer than 21 days. The governor can renew the State of Emergency twice. Any further renewals require the Legislature to renew. Reopen NH has been trying to get this change since the Lil Rona Panic.
https://www.wmur.com/article/new-hampshire-house-senate-budget-6823/44132615
Holy fuck! It worked that time!
Congrats on the SOE law. But, really, it also says a lot about our current political climate that such a law even needs to be passed, let alone that it has to be strong-armed through.
Even so, 63 days seems awful long for governor to single-handedly extend an “emergency” without legislature approval. I don’t recall the hi-ways and bi-ways of NH being so poor that the legislature can’t get into a session in less than 63 days.

Opinion solicitation:
Turns out F150s are one of the most frequently stolen vehicles in my area. Because it’s too fucking long, I leave mine outside. Any thoughts on the Club or any of the myriad anti-theft devices?
This looks interesting.
Thanks in advance!
How are they stealing them?
Not sure. I’ll bet a shocking number have the keys in them. Further digging suggests older models, too.
Most of those immobilizers can be frozen and shattered relatively easily. I suppose it comes down to ease of theft.
Can you put a gate behind your truck to limit exit?
Get a dog?
Probably not bad for casual thieves. The pros, I don’t know there’s much you can do.
Tear the automatic out and put a manual transmission in.
The more I dig into it, the less worried I am. Thanks for the feedback. I may still get something that sends the thief to my neighbor’s!

RE: The Club — it really comes down to how many different key variants there are. If the company was stupid they use the same core/key combo for all units. (See Boot Girls of Atlanta from my May 18 Post)
In general things which slow thieves down, things that indicate you’re taking extra steps to make theft noisy and difficult will help. Since F-150s are so common they’ll hopefully move on to easier pickings. It’s not like that rare, vintage vehicle which will be targeted specifically, perhaps even at the direction of a buyer.
I don’t know about that thing, but many anti-theft can be removed with freon and a hammer, or a cordless angle grinder.
Depending on the year, Ford trucks and vans have vulnerable door locks. You can buy aftermarket plates that go inside the door.
You can also hide a switch for the fuel pump relay or something else so the engine won’t run unless you turn it on.
I would go with a remote kill switch to the ignition system or a scat mat on the drivers seat.
https://store.petsafe.net/scatmat-pet-proofing-mats
I don’t think a scat mat would do anything, and if I understand correctly, Tundra would have to be aware someone broke into his truck for a remote kill switch to work.
The remote kill switch I’m imagining would be interior of the auto, a hidden switch that kills the Ignition system.
The scat mat was more of a joke. It would be a way to piss off the robber and make him look for another truck, yell out, or lead him to smash a window. Not practical, but less risk than a shotgun pointing at the door with a string attached to the trigger.
“The remote kill switch I’m imagining would be interior of the auto, a hidden switch that kills the Ignition system.”
Oh, OK, so not that remote 🙂
Way back when, a buddy with a fairly new GTO couldn’t garage it at night. So he put some nails in wooden chocks and put them behind his rear wheels at night, figuring a thief wouldn’t notice them and would only get a block it two before two flats stymied the getaway. You guessed it, one morning running late to class he forgot to remove the chocks.
How old is it? The newer ones are really easy to get into by pulling the door handle out and using a channel lock on the exposed lock cylinder when the handle is pulled out. I think the Club is a good visual deterrent that will probably have a would be thief moving on to the unClubbed vehicle.

Well, “Cocaine Shark” is listed as Pending, but not Scheduled.
Huh, I don’t think RJ is home, so maybe he forgot to schedule it?
RJ doesn’t schedule it, he sends it in for review and it goes to ‘pending’ (which it appears he did on the 2nd) and then one of the editors has to schedule it. Personally I’m blaming Swiss.
OK?
I just think we should all blame Swiss.
I blame Trump.
I’d like to blame Swiss, but your theory has holes in it.
We’ve got bad movies to talk about and black pills to take.
Trump is indicted for classified document probe. 7 counts by a DC grand jury.
We will probably end up with three criminal cases against Trump while he’s running for president. We’ve been in banana republic territory for a while, but shit.
Not unexpected.
The surprise would have been a no bill but we all these corksuckers were going to indict.
Fargin’ bastages
We all knew it was coming. Probably accelerated to take the Biden corruption out of the news cycle.
That’s just crazy-talk.
Maybe he shouldn’t have broke the law.
I’m fine with Trump being prosecuted. Just as soon as I see Obama, the Clintons, and most of Biden’s family indicted along with him.
All former Presidents should go to prison but this selective prosecution does suck.
Gotta start somewhere.
I’m certain this will be the beginning of many prosecutions of national high level politicians who have been accused of violating the law.

Thanks. I went on the Stanley ghost tour. Then I had a few drinks in the bar. It was fantastic.
That sounds awesome.
Funny thing, the ghost tour did a totally different tour and did not go by room 217. So I took the tour group there, and to Lord Dunraven’s room on the 4th floor (I don’t think guests are allowed there anymore). At room 217, the nice people there let us inside to loom around. That was awesome. At Dunraven’s room you could still feel his rage. Jeez! That guy was powerful hatin’ when he passed.

Going to the park tomorrow?
Did that today too. On foot. Deer, elk, chipmunks.
Tomorrow is the Jeep tour.

GL: saw your question the other night about non-progressive history textbooks. In terms of true textbooks, I don’t think you’re going to find anything. Most historians who get approached to write texts are quite accomplished and to be accomplished you’re not going to break to far from the standard narrative (or at least you’re not going to break in a non-progressive direction).

is written by two conservative historians (full disclosure, I’ve had some e-mail exchanges with Schweikart in the past, seems like a decent guy). I’ve not read all of it. It seems decent but, in some ways, it suffers from the mirror image problem of standard texts. That is, I felt like there were pushing on some events to make them fit a conservative narrative.
Another good interpretation is Paul Johnson’s Modern Times.
@RJ, I sent you mail.
Thank you! I really appreciate it!
Let me know if you’d like anything else.
I would like to get Sloopy’s expertise on a piece of antique furniture I’m about to sell, but I don’t know if furniture is his thing. Sloopy, can you email me at moriah at moriahjovan dot com? Thank you! I will not expect to pick your brain for free, however.

I know it’s a Drexel, mid to late 60s. I can’t get the model number off it at this very moment. Image search is not giving me what I need to know.
Photographically, that’s nice looking wood. How large a bed does it fit?
Full size. It’s a gorgeous bed. It was my grandmother’s. My aunt used it. My bestie used it. My daughter used it. It hasn’t gone unused since she bought it some time around 1965-1970.
It’s also never been refurbished (except for repairing the bedrails) or otherwise tampered with, so that’s pretty original.
I think it’s cherry.
I was tempted to try to figure out how to buy it, but full is too small for me (I can make it work sleeping diagonally, but it’s a hassle)
I hope you find it a good home.
Thanks.
I’m sorry it wouldn’t work for you, though. I would like to know it went somewhere it was really appreciated.
Okay, I completely fucked up and didn’t schedule GlibFlick. The previews are running now. Get your popcorn and candy and enter the theatre while the credits and newsreels are still running.
Oh dear.
Ok, movie post is up. My joy has no bounds.
The quality of these links and comments have me *almost* wanting to call my Bestie’s attention to this website.
But then I’d have to cease commenting about him, so yeah, nah.
I’ll keep my Glibs addiction on the downlow.
