WebDom is out of town having adventures, and I’m doing dogsitting duty. Her pup and mine (brother and sister) are running around the yard and in the house, nonstop and seemingly incapable of tiring. On the bright side, Kaiser took the single biggest dump I have ever seen from a dog, or for that matter, a human. NPR Lady (who is kindly helping me) was not impressed. Good times.
And birthdays are also good times, today’s including a guy who wanted you to come up and see his etchings; one of the few historians who got it right; a guy who got truly granular; a guy who was as unlucky as McCain and even worse as a senator; one of the prime culprits in ruining any intellectual pretenses in academia; a cowboy who did cow punchers one better; a hack politician who beat up a midget; a football player who was actually an interesting artist; one more cute chick who got fat and stupid; my nomination for the greatest rock musician you don’t know; a prime mover into taking journalism from stupid to totally retarded; the best governor ever; everyone’s favorite nerd; and SP’s second favorite baseball player.

He got me with that one — I was expecting Hearst.
But if they did — you might have some fun with the undergrads confusing silicon with silicone…. Q level protestors — “Leave the silicone for the implants!”
I know… I know… too old for ya. Morning, all.
You have a point — but after Team Evil hijacked COVID relief and every other “must pass” bill over the last few years, you could argue the House GOP would be Team Beyond Stupid not to turn the tables on them and remind them that the street goes both ways.
And given that the article is the White House complaining about things being “right wing”… it could be as placid as Mary Fucking Poppins and they’d still bitch it was Ultra MAGA BLAAARG!! So I really don’t give much of a crap what their opinion on the matter is. Just the House bill, the Senate will doubtless whittle it down (Chip Roy is telling them not to fold in the wind this time… good luck with that there, Chip), so much ado about nothingburgers.
Just like we went through with the debt ceiling – vapid bluster and inane posturing.
From the article.
One of the measures included in the bill would reservethe Pentagon’s policy to reimburse travel expenses for service members who get abortions across state lines.
Methinks they misspelled reverse. Spellchecker is no substitute for proofreading.
Not that it matters. Now that the federal government has metastasized into a beast which micromanages every aspect of society, every piece of legislation must necessarily include all kinds of related bullshit. Red, blue, left, right, it’s all about control
The one concrete example which that article could be bothered to cough up…
…at least seems pretty related to subject at hand to me. Wasting money on elective medical procedures directly impairs the national defense. Not by much but it’s there.
Maybe Team Stupid is tired of taking the high road.

“ Although biology has clashed with ideology at other times and places (e.g., the Soviet Lysenko affair, creationism, and the anti-vax movement),”

The left soccer mom anti-vax movement of the aught through 2020 brought us the return of measles as a thing.
Covid “anti-vax” is only a thing because of the authoritarianism and lies by the establishment. The answer wasn’t “vaccines are bad”, it was “the data doesn’t support what you are saying” and “don’t force me to get an experimental vaccine when I have already had Covid.”
Show me a childhood vaccine that had a double-blind RCT using an actual placebo or a post marketing clinical trial of the same.
The COVID vaccines were just a more egregious example of the same fraud that has been going on for decades.
And the return of measles was vastly overblown.
We need more grist for the NATO mill.

“5. “Race and ethnicity are social constructs, without scientific or biological meaning.”
Race and ethnicity are two different things. Race is a social construct, ethnicity isn’t.
“Before we handle this hot potato, we emphasize that we prefer the words ethnicity or even geographic populations to race, because the last term, due to its historical association with racism, has simply become too polarizing.”
Well, race isn’t always geographic.
“Further, old racial designations such as white, black, and Asian came with the erroneous view that races are easily distinguished by a few traits, are geographically delimited, and have substantial genetic differences. In fact, the human species today comprises geographically continuous groups that have only small to modest differences in the frequencies of genetic variants, and there are groups within groups: potentially an unlimited number of “races.” ”
Right, that’s why it’s a social construct.
Racialism was a science back in the 19th century. Instead of treating it as science discredited by later science, as with aether, it lives on in limbo.
There’s two ways of looking at this.

“Pink-haired Portland surgeon who performs sex-change surgery on trans CHILDREN admits they face lifetime of infertility, incontinence and sexual dissatisfaction, in now-deleted video
A surgeon dubbed Dr Frankenstein has candidly revealed the downsides of performing genital re-shaping surgeries on transgender children and adults, in a video which has since been deleted.
In the video, Dr Blair Peters, a self-described ‘queer surgeon’ with ‘he/they’ pronouns, pink hair and a ‘passion’ for genital surgeries, says patients face fertility, sexual pleasure and other lifelong post-op complications.
Perhaps more concerning is how Dr Peters — who works at one of America’s most progressive hospitals — presents his procedures, some of which involve robotics, as experimental.
He says he’s ‘figuring out what works’ and that his team will know more in the next ‘five-to-10 years.'”

“Drug dealers openly sell mushrooms in Washington Square Park
A baby-faced dealer who went by the name “Euphoria” called out to a reporter from his bench-side set-up near the statue of 19th-century Italian general Giuseppe Garibaldi, offering $40 for an eighth-ounce of the strain “Penis Envy” that he displayed in mason jars for all to see.”

Sounds like a fun guy.
Woops! Gilmored.
I used to stroll around that park on my lunch hour in the before times, and wondered what the parents were thinking while accompanying their HS seniors on their NYU college visits. $80K per year for their kids to spend 4 years in that shithole?
Yeah, it’s been colonized by drug dealers and junkies pretty much forever. The degree to which the cops try to clean it up ebbs and flows but it’s always been full of no-go zones.
Swissy better not read that article, they open with a bad pun in the first paragraph. Although mushrooms are probably one of the least harmful drugs, I’m not hear to question anyone’s morels.
All of that is well-known information. I wonder why the need to take it down.
How well known is it amongst the younglings? The most impressionable.
I would like to think that if these butchers aren’t explaining exactly what the kiddos are in for, then they would be dislicensed toot-sweet and sued into malpractice oblivion.
You know, like any other doctor would.
You’re way more optimistic than I am. I swear recently a detranser claimed that it wasn’t clearly explained to them.
I’ve heard the same thing. Kids are getting hormones after one visit.
It might not be known among the parents.
Although, now in Seattle schools can transition kids as young as eleven without notifying the parents.
I think that probably qualifies as clinical psychopathy.
I’m really tired of hearing how much they care, because it is obvious that they are simply responding to cultural and financial incentives. They care as much as your average psychopathic politician does, which is to say not at all.

Martz on Lamar Jackson:
“He certainly can throw the ball well, I’ll never doubt that, but the key to everything that Joe Montana or you know (Tom) Brady and (Patrick) Mahomes is what they see and can react to correctly is remarkable in such a short period of time. I don’t know if he has that.”
Suggesting that Lamar doesn’t measure up to those three white guys is clearly racist.
After watching the Netflix documentary Quarterback, I’d say the same thing about Kirk Cousins, despite his best efforts to improve his brain function. Or for that matter, Josh Allen. It’s no slight against a guy to suggest he may not have the same mental sharpness/toughness as three Hall of Fame players with thirteen Super Bowl rings between them. As far as Jackson himself goes, despite his mumbly, hoodrat way of speaking I’ve never heard him say anything particularly stupid. In fact he seems to have a pretty good mind for the game when he talks about what’s happening on the field. If he can stay healthy I see no reason why he can’t have a long, successful, possibly HoF career with a legitimate chance or two at a SB run.
Yeah, it isn’t like you can’t say the same sort of things about Phillip Rivers (who is expecting child #10 with his wife).
Mahomes doesn’t identify as white.

From his perch on the Senate Armed Services Committee, Alabama senator and former college football coach Tommy Tuberville is blocking the promotions of more than 250 senior military officials — promotions they’ve earned through their service to the country.
And, wait for it, it’s all because Tuberville objects to the Pentagon’s policy that provides paid leave and reimbursement to service members who travel across state lines for an abortion.
So now for the first time in 164 years, the Pentagon is without a confirmed leader of the U.S. Marine Corps. And that’s a big deal given that, as the Pentagon’s top spokesman put it, “a key principle in the effectiveness of our military is a well-defined chain of command.”
Tuberville and his Republican colleagues love to claim “wokeness” is affecting the readiness of our military. But there’s nothing woke or even political about the Pentagon ensuring that the people serving the country have the medical care they need. Right now, the only person politicizing the military is Senator Tuberville, and his actions are having a real impact on force readiness.
Jen Psaki is outraged the reckless anti-military antics of former football coach. He’s putting us all at risk.
I can’t imagine why the wing-nuts object to such clear, precise language as this.

Early leaders don’t always go on to win their party’s nomination, but a growing sense of Trump’s inevitability is raising alarms among some Republicans desperate for the party to move on. Some described a sense of panic — or “DEFCON 1,” as one put it — as they scramble to try to derail Trump and change the trajectory of the race. But there’s no clear plan or strategy on how to do that and Trump’s detractors aren’t rallying around a single alternative candidate yet.
“They’re very concerned,” former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said of fellow Republican leaders who share his view that renominating Trump would be a disaster for the party next November. “People expected us to have made more progress than we have at this point.”
Polling finds Trump routinely besting his closest rival by 20 to 30 points or more. Of course, the six months that remain until the Iowa caucuses can be an eternity in politics, where races can turn in a matter of weeks or days. And Trump faces glaring vulnerabilities, including the ongoing state and federal investigations into his efforts of overturn the 2020 election and the possibility that he could end up in the unprecedented position of standing trial while simultaneously mounting a campaign.
But even critics acknowledge the outside events that many were counting on to dent Trump’s standing — namely his criminal indictments in New York and Florida — have not hurt him. In fact, the charges led some voters who were entertaining an alternative to return to Trump’s camp.
And have any of those dumb motherfuckers seriously pondered the question of how this could have come to be?
Because I’m incapable of assuming anything but the worst when it comes to US politics here’s what’s going to happen:
1. Trump gets the nomination and they rush their kangaroo trial through so they can put him in jail before the election (they’ve got him this time!).
2. Biden dies next summer when the duct tape and baling wire holding him together finally gives out.
3. Donks try desperately to shoehorn Newsom into the nomination but can’t undo the knots they’ve tied themselves into defending Kamala’s intersectionality points.
4. An RFK/Cornell West unity ticket siphons off 25% of the vote.
5. We end up with President Kamala inflicted on the nation with 35% of the vote.
So I should be booking passage out of the country before next November?
“Guns Are Not the Leading Cause of Children’s Deaths
By John R. Lott Jr
A favorite talking point from the Biden White House is that guns are the leading cause of death of children. The problem is that it is false.
“The number one cause of death of the children in America is gun violence,” Vice President Kamala Harris claimed on June 2. Later the White House tweeted, “Guns are the #1 KILLER of CHILDREN.” President Biden has made the same claim multiple times this year.
The Washington Post parroted this claim, running the headline: “Why guns are America’s number one killer of children.” Similarly, the NPR headline says: “Firearms overtook auto accidents as the leading cause of death in children,” and even the BBC got in on the act: “Gun deaths were the leading killer of US children in 2020.” Fact-checkers from Newsweek to Snopes also push these claims.”

Asa Hutchinson, the former Arkansas governor who is among those challenging Trump for the nomination, said he still believes that Trump can be beaten. But he said two things have to change.
“First, candidates like myself have to be very clear that Donald Trump is not the right direction for our country or our party,” he said. Second: “The voters have to realize we can’t win in 2024 and it will be a devastating loss for the GOP … up and down the ballot if Donald Trump is our nominee. And that, I believe, will be understood by the voters as time goes.”
By all means, go out there and scold the voters for being a bunch of obstinate misbehaving children who don’t deserve to be represented by the Republican establishment.
Really makes you wonder how in the hell the two parties we have are still in business – they are never satisfied with their voters.

The End
A glorious victory for government speech
A federal appeals court Friday temporarily paused a lower court’s order limiting executive branch officials’ communications with social media companies about controversial online posts.
Biden administration lawyers had asked the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans to stay the preliminary injunction issued on July 4 by U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty. Doughty himself had rejected a request to put his order on hold pending appeal.
Friday’s brief 5th Circuit order put Doughty’s injunction on hold “until further orders of the court.” It called for arguments in the case to be scheduled on an expedited basis.
——-
Doughty, nominated to the federal bench by former President Donald Trump, issued an Independence Day order and accompanying reasons that covered more than 160 pages. He said the plaintiffs were likely to win their ongoing lawsuit. His injunction blocked the Department of Health and Human Services, the FBI and multiple other government agencies and administration officials from “encouraging, pressuring, or inducing in any manner the removal, deletion, suppression, or reduction of content containing protected free speech.”
Thank goodness. Imagine the CDC being denied their free speech right to deplatform anyone who disagrees with them. Outrageous.

Administration lawyers said the order was overly broad and vague, raising questions about what officials can say in conversations with social media companies or in public statements. They said Doughty’s order posed a threat of “grave” public harm by chilling executive branch efforts to combat online misinformation.
Grave, indeed.
Friday’s “administrative stay” was issued without comment by a panel of three 5th Circuit judges: Carl Stewart, nominated to the court by former President Bill Clinton; James Graves, nominated by former President Barack Obama; and Andrew Oldham, nominated by Trump. A different panel drawn from the court, which has 17 active members, will hear arguments on a longer stay.
The single most important thing to know about any judge is who appointed him.

The floods that hit the state this week were intense—but spending after Hurricane Irene helped to keep a total catastrophe at bay.
Climate change has buffeted Vermont again, but the neighborly people here abide and will be ready for the next one. The state has surpassed political partisanship by recognizing that investing in climate resilience will be crucial to helping people survive increasingly intense weather events like these floods. More at-risk states could do well to learn from Vermont’s example.”

A federal jury convicted a Las Vegas police officer Friday on all counts of stealing nearly $165,000 during a trio of casino heists, including one where he was armed with a department-issued weapon that was loaded.
Caleb Rogers, 35, faces life in prison upon sentencing because he brandished a revolver during the third casino heist he carried out in February 2022. U.S. District Judge Andrew Gordon set his sentencing for October.
The jury reached a verdict after just over three hours of deliberation.
Jurors used common sense to decide the case, Lloyd Dickerson, one of the 12, told The Associated Press.
“Everything kind of added up,” Dickerson said outside the courthouse. “It took all of the evidence and all of the testimony from everybody to come to this conclusion.”
Sounds like a lot of circumstantial evidence.
