This perky little tune is how I feel today.
PROJECT BLUE BOOK, THE SEQUEL: Senator Chuck Schumer (D, NY) has proposed legislation to create an independent nine-member agency to collect, review and declassify records of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs), which is the governments new term for what used to be called UFOs. The headline and article make it sound like they think the government is about to reveal something big, but never discount the Democrats’ desire to distract the public from the shitshow of the Biden administration, and the ongoing effort for more bigger government.
HOW YOU ARE PROGRAMMED TO BE POOR: “In today’s society, many people unknowingly carry certain beliefs and habits that hinder their financial progress. From the educational system to cultural norms, a series of influences subtly steer people towards fiscal behaviors and decisions that often result in financial struggles rather than prosperity.”
WHAT DO THE FRENCH RIOTS MEAN? Mathieu Bock-Côté explains it all to you (and, deliciously, to a certain NY newspaper) over at at The American Conservative.
ACTIVIST ACTRESS ANGSTILY ASKS TO AXE GUNS FROM ACTION FILM: “…Because [in the original script], she finds guns, and there’s a gunfight and all that sort of stuff. So we changed it.” Why do I hear vocal fry in my head when I read that?
VENEZUELA JOINS COMMIE MOONBASE INITIATIVE: Venezuela has signed a memorandum of cooperation with China to participate in the International Lunar Research Station. Money quote: “Venezuela will make its satellite control ground station infrastructure available for lunar missions.” So, Venezuela will maybe get to send an astronaut to the base in exchange for the CCP getting a satellite dish farm in Venezuela.
Nice! I used to love that show.
UFO, if I am not mistaken? Want to see. It’s an earlier effort from the Space: 1999 team.
I believe so, yes. It was on our UHF channel when I was a kid. Our fuzzy, fuzzy UHF channel. I never missed an ep. Black and white, so I didn’t know the chicks’ hair was purple until much later.
Yup. In fact UFO Season 2 turned into Space:1999.
Yes. You can watch or download all the episodes for free: https://xmovies8.fm/watch/wvnRqYvQ-ufo-season-1.html

Maggie’s impulse to leave guns out of the movie in order to force more creative solutions is fine. The ridiculousness of her being opposed to guns after her multitude of gun movies is just dull.
And it’s still looking to be violent…
“The sister of the bride, Maggie Q’s Tess, is a hardened Iraqi war veteran and skilled combatant who’s not going down without a fight.”
That’s a hard “no”. I’ve seen enough movies of 100 lb chicks beating up 200 lb dudes for this lifetime. I’ve also met my share of women Iraqi vets – none of whom could beat me up.
You really shouldn’t be beating up all those female vets.
I just sit on them.
More like watching them take 3 trips to carry their gear into the barracks. Same gear all the guys carried in a single trip.
none of whom could beat me up.
But could they beat you off?
That was my take. Saying “Hey, this movie would be better without guns” is one thing (and her reasoning is not terrible).
Saying “Now that I’ve made my millions from movies with guns, we should get guns out of movies” is stupid.
I think the story writing reason to leave out guns is a good one. The political reason is stupid.
I’d like to see Keanu Reeves suggest this for John Wick 5.

From an early age, many of us are encouraged to prioritize subjects like math, science, and literature over financial literacy. This societal programming suggests that financial education isn’t as necessary or valuable as these traditional areas of study. As a result, many people enter adulthood without a firm grasp on crucial financial concepts like budgeting, investing, or understanding credit. This lack of financial knowledge makes it harder to make informed money decisions, leading many to avoidable financial difficulties. Understanding money – how to manage it, invest it, and grow it – is fundamental to achieving financial security and wealth.
My degrees are in finance and I work in finance. I generally find explaining financial concepts to people that studied math and science easier than literature… That said there intentionally financially illiterate people with PhDs in every field under the sun.
But I want it now and I heard a rumor
*invests everything in leveraged triple short orange juice futures ETF*
What’s this “credited investor” bullshit!
The problem isn’t prioritizing math, science and literature over financial literacy. It’s prioritizing victimization, DIE, and self-esteem over financial literacy.
^This, especially the math part.
We all know financial literacy is not taught in schools for a reason, and it is not because they need more time for math and science.
Because no one who understands financial literacy would be caught dead teaching in high school?
Yeah, there’s a point in there (“we should teach financial literacy”). It’s just about cancelled out by the gibberish.
You have no agency – you are only making decisions based on external influences. Oh fuck off.
I had one semester of ECON in HS, and it was mostly Macro. And most of the “smart” kids did poorly in it. I thought it was the easyist class I took, certainly easier than Metalwork II.
“Schools educate people to become employees and teach them that higher education is the only path. Schools are selling their product of education. Degrees that only provide jobs for teaching the subject are not career paths; they are Ponzi schemes.”
Well, that’s true for degrees in [whatever] studies.
I’ve been down this road. Most school boards want nothing to do with pushing vocational work even though a motivated 18 year old can make $60k right out of high school.
Advocating For Job Security Over Entrepreneurship
We don’t want these young trademen thinking they can start their own businesses.
Yeah, that’s complete bullshit.
Teaching is not a career? Fuck off.
If the only thing you can do with your degree is get a job teaching others how to get the same degree, then your degree is a waste of paper.
Victim studies beg to differ. The coursework only qualifies you to teach that mindrot to others, the HR and consulting are mutations of necessity.
Did they replace the guns with walkie-talkies in the movie?
With a water balloon fight.

Ooo! Pillow fight to the death.

She’s 100 pounds. Needs to go eat some hamburgers first.
I think going back and re-editing a movie after it was released is bullshit.
It depends on the reason. Unrated or Director’s cut are usually better than the theatrical release.
That’s adding another version, not making the original unavailable.
Project Bluebook II: I’m going to go with they’re laying the groundwork for a canceled election due to a national security threat posed by “aliens.” Sure, it sounds nuts but why not, the American public will believe fucking anything.
It’s an alien invasion, and only Joe Biden can save us would be a pretty tough sell even to the Dems.
I just had my bluest of blue Democratic mother and Aunt admit that the guy is feeble.
But still way better than any single Republican.
That’s a given. They would NEVER vote for bad orange man.
The choice is clear, really. A guy who sometimes stumbles over his words vs. someone who is going to liquidate entire classes of vulnerable/victims/whatevers.
Not the first time I’ve heard that theory.
According to Schumer, “the sheer number and variety” of UFO-related claims “led some in Congress to believe that the [U.S. government] was concealing important information regarding UAPs over broad periods of time.” Moreover, as noted in the legislation, “credible evidence and testimony indicates that Federal Government [UFO] records exist that have not been declassified” as required by law.
Nonsense. Government would never conceal information from the

This was a good read. There is a set of business writers who concentrate on this (James Altucher, Tim Ferriss to name a few). It’s nice to have a little confirmation now that we’re opening a business. We’ve had some pushback from a few friends and relatives, and encouragement from others.
My own dad pushed back when I told him I was quitting a good paying job in the mutual fund industry to be a mechanic with my own business. The mutual fund industry actually taught me how to run a business, and let me save enough to strike out on my own, so I was thankful for that opportunity, but I’m quite satisfied with my chosen field and it’s been rewarding both personally and financially.
Is it just you or do you have other mechanics too?
I’m assuming you’ve got office help or you’d never have time to wrench.

Venezuela becomes one of the first countries to join the International Lunar Research Station (ILRS). The initiative is seen as a China-led, parallel project to the NASA-led Artemis Program.
If Venezuela has done to their aerospace industry what they’ve done to their oil drilling / refining industry, I don’t think they’ll be providing a lot of technical expertise.
Besides, my money’s on Musk to beat both China and Artemis to the moon.

Random connection:
I was listening to Hardcore History about the Persian empire, and he made the point that it is extraordinarily difficult to kill someone with an edged weapon. It practically never happens since the introduction of guns. Even (modern) soldiers flinch at sticking a knife in someone’s gut. Guns with bayonets are generally used as clubs.
So, while it’s plausible that a wine mom could shoot someone, it’s pretty much never gonna happen that she stabs him to death, much less beats him to death with a hammer or somesuch.

I’m past the point where I need the government to disclose anything on UFO’s. There is something there. Aliens or something stranger? Don’t know. But there is weird, unexplainable shit in the skies and it isn’t us (as in the US or a foreign power).
Aliens could be here, stranded and participating in this shitty planet’s economy and nobody would ever know it.

Reading this morning’s links about Jason Aldean’s “controversial” song, I could only think back to when the nearby town of Williston (pop. 2800) decided to have their very own BLM march / protest / party. Everything was entirely peaceful.
You’ll never guess what happened next.
I missed this morning (work or something), and so I’m taking your comment as license to make the snarky remark that’s been bouncing around the internet for a day or so – really ticked off that the protests are putting me in the position of siding with Jason Aldean.
So far every time that song’s come on, I’ve changed the station – he’s from Macon danggit, not a “small town” and I despise his fake-hick pretense. Never heard the whole thing through. Now I reckon I’ll have to.
Its on YouTube. Not a fantastic effort, certainly not controversial. I am in your boat. Don’t make me side with a mediocrity who makes music I wouldn’t normally want to listen to.
Fuck him. He’s a “guns are too easy to get” fuckface.
OK it came on on my drive home, so now I can say I’ve heard it. OK song – better than most of his stuff. And it pisses off the right people.

I didn’t know this dick was still doing public engagement.
In a non-clown world, he’d have dug into a hole to never be seen again. But because he’s connected and was a media darling, he’s still got some juice.
Yeah, he had Clinton’s emails in a folder named “life insurance” for no reason at all.
We totally believe that.
Surprised to see him go on PBD’s podcast. Maybe I’ll listen tonight while mowing.
Are you kidding? A guy like that with no morals and no shame is indispensable.

Your tax dollars at work.
Everything with that lab and Fauci’s cover-up is enough to make a sane person wonder if they didn’t leak that shit intentionally.
I noticed at the beginning of the pandemic the public health experts (Fauci especially) seemed practically giddy. This was finally their chance to try out all the things they’d been theorizing about for years. And they get to be seen as heroes, and be all over TV. So yeah, I wonder too.
They are scumbags, but I doubt they are scumbags at that level. For now.
You have to reduce Social Security and housing costs somehow. A disease that mostly affects the old and sick fits the bill.
The continued funding was to keep the lab quiet for as long as possible.

Hate to have to break it to you, but nothing is going to happen to any of the Bidens.
Joe Biden makes Teflon look like seasoned cast iron. He needs a good bit of help but nothing will stick.
All of this is not about the Bidens. It’s about the agencies that have protected them in order to implement their own agenda.
If the Bidens go down, everyone who covered this shit up has to go too. And in DC, where everyone is a psychopath, once it starts crumbling, they’ll all rat on each other.
I stand by this: There have to be people in those agencies, and in the press, who feel humiliated that they’re selling their soul to cover for these POS’s getting rich and living lavish lifestyles.
Exactly – the first report from that source was in 2018, long before anyone planned for Joe to make it to the White House. WTF was the FBI doing?
To be fair, they did impeach him for this already.
True.
That finance article might have been worth reading. I’ll never know, since their multimedia extravaganza website slowed my computer to a crawl.
Ukraine and the West are facing a devastating defeat
I’m sick of this fucking mess. Make it go away.
I don’t know how anyone could call this a “devastating” defeat for the West. It simply doesn’t matter if Ukraine loses parts of its territory. It’s irrelevant. We made Russia look weak for in its inability to steamroll a third-rate military. Ukraine isn’t going anywhere as a country now.
I don’t know what a “win” looks like here for the West. Toppling the Putin regime? That was never going to happen. Ukraine repelling the full might of Russia? Again, was never going to happen.
That article is stupid neocon bullshit.
“I don’t know what a ‘win’ looks like here for the West. Toppling the Putin regime?”
That is the goal. These people are really so stupid that they think they can achieve it and that Putin’s replacement will be better.
The stupidity of our foreign policy establishment can’t be doubted. If Ukraine making territorial concessions is seen as a defeat, then it’s only because you predictably instilled the wrong expectations in the general public from the start.
It’s all about narrative and the most important narrative is the infallibility of our expert class.
And the brain drain and self inflicted damage to Russia is significant.
There really are no winners here including the west.
The West has gone so stupidly all in that nothing less than Total Victory looks like a defeat and that’s what makes the situation so dangerous.
The whole thing is a tragedy.
But then again, so is Yemen and a dozen other hellholes we’ve helped create over the past three decades.
defeat for the West
Substitute Wilsonianism adventuring for the West.
Does this mean we get to start World War III? You know to avoid a devastating defeat.
Ukraine and the West are facing a devastating defeat
The “west” is not at war and Ukraine was never going to win.
The prospect of a failed counter-offensive and significant territorial concessions would only embolden Russia and China
Give Russia the predominantly ethnically Russian regions of Ukraine that they have conquered as a result of western interference in Ukraine and Ukraine bombing said regions for years. The war that never had to happen can be over today.

Ha, jinx.
A thought occurs.
Biden might be merely a distraction. The progressives are advancing their political agenda, while their enemies are distracted by trying to take Biden out. The obvious corruption, the impunity all serve to magnify the importance of removing him from office to opponents of progressives. They are expending a great deal of energy and attention towards defeating him.
Everyone knows that Biden is not in control. Everyone knows that he is essentially a figurehead while the government is run by his flunkies, probably acting under the soft direction of Obama.
Biden could be the military equivalent of building a fortress that looks mighty and important, but that is designed as a lure to draw attacks from one’s enemies, thereby diverting offensive forces away from the things one really cares about defending.
while the government is run by
his flunkiesthe permanent bureaucracy that only sees every administration as a temporary problem.This. Obama was the perfect PR agent for them.
He perfectly delivered a line of feel good bullshit that the libs ate up while the agencies did whatever the hell they wanted.
The only time he may have said no was when they wanted to arm Ukraine. They probably went along with his defiance because they thought they were going to get Clinton in a year and there would be no limits.
Credit to Obama for shutting down the GoF research Fauci wanted to fund in Wuhan. Fauci took advantage of the incompetence of Trump’s incoming admin to release that money.
This is why I’m becoming more receptive to Vivek.
His stated number one priority is to eviscerate the bureaucracy and he’s named the laws he would use to do it. He’s doing the homework.
Without gutting the civil service laws, it isn’t going to happen. And too many people (R and D) actually believe the govt does necessary things and that the bureaucracy is peopled by decent people, and it would be mean to treat them so harshly. They may disagree about which departments this is more true of and which less so – but they don’t fundamentally disagree.

Biden administration officials have grown increasingly concerned over recent months about Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s measures along the Texas-Mexico border, which have disrupted US Border Patrol operations in the region and put migrants at risk.
“It’s making our job harder,” one Homeland Security official told CNN.
Not unless you see your job as enabling mass uncontrolled border crossings.
which have disrupted US Border Patrol operations in the region and put migrants at risk.
But enough about the Brandon regime’s border enforcement policy, or lack thereof.
I’m fairly certain if you talked to on-the-ground BP agents you’d hear a far different story.
We have a friend who’s in border patrol. He says it’s way worse than you see on TV. They find a dead body every day. The migrants just walk right through people’s yards. And the cartels watch the border patrol. If one group is being detained, they send a bigger group somewhere else while border patrol is distracted.
How is this not an invasion?
I used to scoff, but this is getting crazy.
*whispers*
It’s an invasion.
But Abbot is getting in their way by deploying more resources (imagine that was typed in alternating capital letters like a retard).
I’m gonna repost this a few more times until the emails start flying:
Honey Harvest 2023 is right around the corner (Sunday, September 17).
If you aren’t already on my Official List – but would like to be – drop me a note at minnetundra AT geemail. Updates and details galore!
Internal discussions about legal action against Texas date back to last year, when Abbott began sending migrants to cities nationwide without alerting them and have continued with the deployment of buoys in the Rio Grande, which pose a potential drowning risk to migrants and now, concern over the treatment of migrants.
He has boobytrapped the river with those impossible to detect giant bright orange balls.
We should be using our natural border moat.
I’m in Manhattan for the first time in thirty years. Almost forgot what the big city feels like.
Try not to kill anybody.
After reports of the mistreatment of migrants broke this week, State Department Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs, Brian Nichols, told Texas Rep. Joaquin Castro, a Democrat, that the administration was concerned about Abbott’s actions with respect to human rights, Castro told CNN.
Castro also raised concerns about the reports to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, saying in a statement: “I raised the issue of Governor Abbott’s barbarity at a dinner tonight with Secretary Blinken. I read him the title and first paragraph of the Express-News article and urged the Administration to intervene – and to remove the death traps Abbott has installed for the sake of human rights.”
Barbarity.
Poll a majority of the country, and they’d agree with Abbot installing them.
But the media will go on calling it “controversial.” While things like transitioning 7 year olds are normal and fully supported by the entirety of the medical community and always have been…
A barrier visible from hundreds of yards away is a death trap?
