Leaking oil
The Orioles are pulling away and the Astros are regressing. The playoff chases are still up in the air for a bunch of teams. Ohtani has shut his arm down for 2024. That’ll impact that gigantic contract he’s gonna sign this winter. Newcastle got a draw with Milan in their UCL return. Man City, PSG, and Porto got big wins. And that’s pretty much to for sports.
Two assholes
I can’t stand this fucking guy. He’s crooked as the day is long and he needs to be sent packing. His aversion to individual rights and the politics he’s playing with prosecution/persecution of people is simply at odds with the constitution. He’s a douchebag.
If you needed any evidence to support my last statement, here it is. He got treated very, very differently than the rest of the unlucky bastards he was urging to tear shit up. Some of them will rot in prison for years. He’s not gonna spend a day behind bars. Because he’s a fucking fed.
This is completely absurd. He should sue the absolute piss out of them.
Get out of the cities. At least the ones run by anti-self defense assholes. That’s all I got.
Every government actor involved in this should be imprisoned. And for a lot longer than the J6 people, I might add.
What a bunch of dicks. Of course, its not nearly as bad as the murders, carjackings, and general mayhem that’s happening in the city. Which is probably why they’re focusing on the case.
An affront to God
Hooray!!!!!!!!! Sanity prevails. What these people were trying to do is an abomination and they should suffer eternal shame.
Your virtue has been noted. This was never about public libraries. Now be sure to get the porn away from kids in school. Thanks.
This song was never released on a studio album. I didn’t know that until yesterday. And here’s a great one to pair with it. Enjoy them both.
And enjoy this lovely day, dear friends.
If they wanted vegetarian bacon, why not just go with bacon bits? They’re already kosher and vegetarian.
“And More” is my favorite ingredient of fake food.
Fromunda cheese….
From unda de balls…
Which is worse – vegetarian bacon or turkey bacon?
(Never had either, blech)
Turkey bacon. The vegetarian stuff never had a chance once they tried to emulate bacon. The turkey could have been used in a worthwhile endeavor, instead of just leading to disappointment.
/remembers local pizza chain that had halal “bacon” on the menu. It was turkey bacon that they just called bacon
There are no turkeys residing in the belly cut of a hog, therefore there is no such thing as turkey bacon.
That’s a lot of hate for turkey bacon, man…
You can’t get pork belly off a turkey. So not bacon.
However much hate it is…it’s not enough.
Next you will tell me pineapple on pizza is evil, deep dish pizza is a travesty on humanity, brussel sprouts are delicious, that frog video from Pie yesterday made you crave frog, and sex is overrated…
So, you were the target audience for this?
I would try it at least once….
Doesn’t mean I would go for it, though… No turkey bacon….
Hey… brussel sprouts ARE delicious… (thin sliced, fried in bacon fat and sprinkled with the bacon crumbles you fried to get the fat in the first place). Or grilled, of course.
No fucking way… Ass tastes better than brussel sporuts.
So, you regard brussels sprouts as delicious – if you smother the brussel sprouts flavor with bacon.
Maybe a lil horseradish sour cream on the side…
Brussel sprouts taste like what I imagine farts would taste like, if they were solid.
You don’t smother it — the saltiness just enhances the fried sprout flavor. They’re just little cabbages (okay, a little sharper really) after all. If you like fried cabbage, there’s no reason in my mind not to like fried sprouts you heathens. 😉
‘Brussel sprouts taste like what I imagine farts would taste like, if they were solid.’
If your brussel sprouts taste like shit you are doing it wrong. Even my five year old will eat them, y’all are some picky eaters.
I’m sure pineapple is fine on pizza in certain circumstances. Deep dish is a perfectly cromulent casserole (but it ain’t pizza). Brussels sprouts can be delicious. I didn’t see the frog video and apparently I need to. And sex is fantastic.
What else ya got?
*sigh*
Again people, modern Brussels Sprouts are different from the ones 30-40 years ago. Here’s Why Brussels Sprouts Really Do Taste Less Bitter Now
“I’m sure pineapple is fine on pizza in certain circumstances. Deep dish is a perfectly cromulent casserole (but it ain’t pizza). Brussels sprouts can be delicious. I didn’t see the frog video and apparently I need to. And sex is fantastic.
What else ya got?”
Where the white women at?
As long as no one tries to serve me a cracker with ketchup on it; ie modern Pizza, I am OK. Fuck that noise.
Jagoffs, probably like corn and EU sprouts on it too. Weirdos.
So, like the ketchup-on-crackers pizza, there has come a time in my life when I have witnessed syrup BBQ sauce. I mean, it says it’s BBQ sauce, but acts and tastes like molasses and brown sugar syrup with a hint of tomato and chili pepper. This place’s “spicy” BBQ is much better, although not terribly spicy, but their not-spicy BBQ sauce could be served on waffles.
And sex is fantastic.
And it’s even better when done with another person.
The one rule for Brussel Sprouts that must be followed, just like any other vegetable, is don’t overcook the silly things. If its mushy and it smells, you’ve overcooked it.
Brussels sprouts are easy: trim, halve, add shallots, toss with olive oil, roast in a wicked hot oven for 15 minutes or so, toss with balsamic vinegar and enjoy.
Chiffonade, fry in butter, add beaten egg, serve on a bowl of rice.
People who don’t like brassicas, like people who dislike dogs, are mutants diverging from human’s successful evolutionary path.
(not actually a joke)
Or, they are more evolved than the backwards cabbage-eaters.
Brussels sprouts are delicious just boiled and salted.
You brussel sprouts lovers are all mentally deficient.
The hate bacon that hates?
Canadian Bacon.

Man, that’s a lot of stupid in one place.
The Epps thing is just to give the MSM a talking point, they know everyone knows it’s bullshit, they just don’t care.
See you degenerate proles! They charged him and will give him a slap on the wrist while others are getting ridiculously long sentences for bullshit, so you are wrong and spouting conspiracy theories about that J6 thing being a psyop by the government!
If they wanted to prove Epps was an agent this treatment, which most people suspicious of this guy all pointed out would happen, happening just confirms the suspicion as accurate.
One of the Proud Boys looking at over a decade in prison literally watched Epps breaking down a barrier.
Hell Torres wasn’t even in DC and he got worse than Epps. Riddle me that Batman.
Bad thoughts!
If you absolutely have to live in a shithole, Philly still appears to respect self defense.
Has ARV been around or did he disappear too?
Is ARV that the guy who moved to Philly? I was wondering what happened to him.
Anywho… even the cities run by anti-self defense assholes had a better grip on this stuff back before racialist bullshit paralyzed the country. We literally cannot practice any real form of “law ‘n’ order” any more because of it. It’s madness. As in, a psychosis.
Yeah, I think he was down in center city Philly.
The city officials don’t, but they’re hamstrung by state law.
The process is the punishment.
I can’t stand this fucking guy.
Garland has been an ass bag forever. He is the same son of a bitch that helped cover up the FBI’s role in the OKC bombing way back in the mid nineties. He is a swamp creature through and through.
https://archive.ph/1BXoE\
I thank Yahweh that neither Bork nor Garland ended up on the SC. They really are both pretty similar, complete deference to government power grabs, just for different Teams.
At least cocaine Mitch kept that asshole Garland off the Supreme Court.
True dat.
Thank God.
That the first time i have heard of Ray Epps being referred to as a former oath keeper. I guess that’s the new spin.
“Former” tells me he didn’t keep his Oath.

Just helping the TSA do their job. A true patriot. I applaud his efforts.
A lot of what I am seeing lately as mainstream is really not different than what I saw working with certified mentally ill people who had been institutionalized.
I cannot emphasize this enough.
Since there is no peak stupid is it acceptable for me to use the word crescendo? We seem to have reached that point. Once you get into the territory of insane you cant really get worse you can just change it around to different and surprising new flavors.
Desperation, and they are desperate because the proles are wrecking it all for them, sure as hell will lead to insanity.
The Year of the Jackpot…
I guess we’re in the Weimar cycle.
Given the library article includes a note that one of the supporters is literally being treated for mental illness and thus couldn’t show up to work… (Judge Hidalgo). You ain’t wrong brother!
I have a lot of sympathy for the mentally ill, I’ve been there. But! When I was mentally ill, no one should have been taking my advice, letting me write laws, or listening to my crazy ideas
My three kids were adopted. The older two were out of foster care, and have had psychological issues their entire lives. When they were in high school, we did a family therapy program with them, multiple group sessions per week, a year for each of them. So I saw a lot of teenagers with mental issues. And I agree, I’m seeing so much of that right now in the “mainstream”. I’ve seen it for a while. It’s disturbing.
When you get bombarded 24/7 with nonsense about how the color of your skin makes you unable to succeed – and unable to survive without the help of progressive, urban, white, college educated, cat ladies – or an evil oppressor, that climate will burn up the planet before it makes us all live in water world and suffer before a horrible death unless we embrace marxism, or that you should be playing roulette with your identify and your sexual preferences, starting in kindergarten, all in the age of social media where the kids believe their value is tied to the approval they get on social media as real society basically is undermining them in every way possible (education in particular), I can see most kids losing it.
Yes. In therapy I saw kids with all kinds of self-harm problems such as cutting and eating disorders, and with proper therapy and reinforcement, time and time again those kids improved and began to thrive. It was amazing. But now we’re doing the opposite, reinforcing and amplifying all their worst issues instead of helping them.
Pie, I can’t stop seeing that lady eating the frog from yesterday. Well done.

The crooks at Youtube have been looking for a reason to fuck Brand over for a long time because he starts his show on both that asshat platform and Rumble, and then tells the Youtubers to switch to Rumble for the rest of the show after 15 mins because Youtube censors.
He should sue them.
This will be a test and an opportunity for Rumble.
Yeah, and sexual assault allegations is still pretty much shoot first never ask any questions.
Asking questions is misogyny.
BELIEVE ALL WOMEN1!!!!11
(until the story falls apart when someone who actually thinks critically spends more than ten seconds thinking about it.)
No, then you still believe all women. You racist homophobe.
Believe all women unless they’re accusing a person the left likes.
See: Epstein Island.
Which is why it makes such a great tactic. You can find people who want their ten minutes of fame and a chance to destroy someone famous. In this case they found nine. It will be half a year before the real truth comes out. Maybe it is true, but most likely eve allegation was false. Either way the goal was met. Damage Russel Brand.
Same reason they fucked Brand in the first place.

Clapper and Brennan 2, deep state bugaloo
Worst movie ever.
Makes sense. Now the WH can claim executive privilege when Congress calls them to testify about the coordinated effort by government actors to discredit the laptop and influence the election.
As known and established liars they’ll fit right the fuck in. If they want to yank off the veil of any semblance of government legitimacy I’m actually fine with it. I mean why not? Fuck it…
The sad thing is that I am not the least bit surprised the biden gang did this.
“What a bunch of dicks. Of course, its not nearly as bad as the murders, carjackings, and general mayhem that’s happening in the city. Which is probably why they’re focusing on the case.”
My bet is the restaurant owners are part of the in crowd that could actually make the cops do cop stuff.
This happened in the suburb of Park Ridge. Action Ridge we called it ironically when we were teenagers. This is probably the biggest case the cops got all year.
All four Harris County Commissioners voted Tuesday to turn the Harris County Public Libraries into a “Book Sanctuary” system. According to the resolution, the “book sanctuary” distinction is meant to combat censorship, defend intellectual freedom and protect the right to read.
combat censorship – not putting Bend Over and Relax: A Young Man’s Guide to Queerness in the kid’s section of a taxpayer-supported institution isn’t “censorship”
defend intellectual freedom – let me know when every library in Houston has The Camp of the Saints on its shelves
protect the right to read – red herring, since no one is disputing the “right to read.” Of course, after twelve years in Harris County schools, many still lack the ability to read, so…
Will they be providing sanctuary for The Turner Diaries?
Turner Diaries is not available, but in it’s steed, one of the books they suggest is “Literature Supressed on Political Grounds” which is rated 2 stars and only available to read in the library, it can’t be checked out. My guess is that book is full of icky books that were rightfully banned and not the grooming manuals that haven’t really been banned, just not available in the kids library.
Camp of the Saints, The Turner Diaries, Shaved Snizz, someone needs to start asking them the hard questions about was is and isn’t censorship.
R ads on TV this morning. They are promising to fix the big problems because that is what we need. Blah, blah blah. Every one of them reeks of status quo.
The big problems are obvious, as are the solutions to them. Obvious and simple yet no one will do what it takes to fix them.
Open border? Close the border. Swamped with foreign invaders? Round ’em up and send ’em back. Inflation? Stop printing money. Overseas endless wars? Bring the troops home and cut that shit out. The founders were adamant in warning us not to get entangled in foreign adventures….the interests of those countries would overtake the interests of this one. Crime skyrocketing? Get criminals off of the street. Energy? Drill and mine until we have energy independence.
On and on, this shit is simple but we can’t find anyone with the spine to fix them.
9/10ths of the fucking people in public life today are not worth the water it takes to keep them alive. There are so many of them that denying them that water might fix some of our water problems.
“The big problems are obvious, as are the solutions to them. Obvious and simple yet no one will do what it takes to fix them.”
How will you be able to ask the rubes to send you tons of campaign money if you actually have no major problem to grift off?
Assuming they want to fix them…
The “silent majority” (ugh) knows this stuff but everyone is afraid to upset leftists for some reason I can’t figure out.

SJWednesday: You Will Indulge My Constant Need For Discussing My Trauma
Or maybe they’re just sick of hearing about your shit.
“I view small talk as a sneaky way to make the person wrong (enhanced by peer pressure).”
LOL, what?
Projection of their own fucked up world view I assume. Talk about damaged goods — they have my sympathy, but they need to realize they have serious issues and actually try to deal with them instead of expecting the world to pander…. oh wait… that’s what all the mentally ill are encouraged to do now. Yay.
There are terms for people like this. Pussy, cunte, asshole, dickhead, and douchebag all come to mind.
Self-absorbed person is self-absorbed….and tiresome as hell.
We’ve created an entire generation of narcissistic assholes with nothing to contribute.
I’m fine with that person not being OK with small talk-I’d bet chewing the fat with her would be like walking through a woke minefield.
They’ve been coaching everyone around them about the proper pronoun use, newest of the 50+ genders, runs with the latest talking points, and wonders why people keep wanting them to be wrong…
… And then the author disappeared up their own asshole.
This is what happens when you focus too much on feelings.
The author of that piece is retarded.
Sounds very much like my middle daughter (the one who no longer talks to us). She doesn’t realize that by constantly dwelling on her problems 24/7 she’s making her own life miserable.
Merrick Garland is a completely politicized and biased authoritarian sack of monkey shit but at least he’s not on the Supreme Court.
This.
And this is why I get sick of Holier Than Thou libertarians who scoff at voting. Yeah, no wonder that we are having a serious liberty deficit, no one is pushing for it. Vote for the people who will give more freedom, and let them know that is why you are pulling the lever for them. I know, it is all fixed. Well, as more and more people go through the process and more and more has to be done to make them not count, we reach a critical mass. And we fucking need that, to show that this is bullshit, and force the issue. Bidens, what, 82 million votes probably convinced more people that the process was false than anything written about it over the last decade did. And as more and more people see that this bullshit is taking things away from them, more and more will push back on the uniparty of war and racism.
/gets of high horse.
I get it. Vote, third party, it’s all we can do. I cannot vote for either major party, they both suck. Last election there was not even a good third party candidate. Libertarian party was not getting my presidential vote for that shit.
If the Libertarians want my vote, put in somebody worth voting for. Otherwise I might show up to their debates with a rolled up newspaper and start hitting the candidates on the head and telling them “Shut up! Sit down! Stick to the constitution!”
Voting 3rd party does absolutely nothing for our cause. It might make us feel better, but whoopie, we can share a feels in the gulag. I don’t like social conservatives, but right now, and for the foreseeable future, the R’s are going to be the party of liberty. Why? Because they know they are under the gun, and will fight (at least part of them) for those rights to at least keep themselves viable. Do we need to hold their feet to the fire? Absolutely.
Right now, keeping the D’s at bay is the most important thing for liberty, as they have gone full retard. And no Libertarian is gonna win the presidency. But we can bend the curve, pressure them to be more liberty focused, and with enough pressure, that will spill over to the other side.
Should we become a wing of the R’s, in the same way the black vote is a wing of the D’s? No, but it takes work, and part of that work is to make our votes be important enough to be something that is courted, and not taken for granted. And we have to know that this will always be something to fight for.
the R’s are going to be the party of liberty
You did that with a straight face? Impressive. I can’t pull off that outrageous a joke without breaking.
Here in NH, libertarians are slowly taking over the state Republican Party. It’s slow going because the Establishment is strong, but the Establishment is losing power.
Let me know when they actually reduce the size/scope of the govt. I mean, they’ve only been pitching that line since Reagan, so I’m sure they’ll deliver on it – some day.
Let me see… we’ve had tax cuts. Rollback of business licensing. Elimination of some jobs at NH DHHS. Constitutional carry. repeal of knife laws.
Let’s see how the EFAs shake out. I expect they’ll hurt the teachers’ unions.
Republicans on the panel are expected to grill Garland with questions about the investigation into President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden and his now-scuttled plea deal, as well as special counsel Jack Smith’s two indictments of Trump.
Against that backdrop, Garland will tell lawmakers that the department welcomes “public scrutiny, criticism, and legitimate oversight,” but “singling out individual career public servants who are just doing their jobs is dangerous – particularly at a time of increased threats to the safety of public servants and their families.”
“We will not be intimidated,” he’ll say. “We will do our jobs free from outside interference. And we will not back down from defending our democracy.”
More ostentatious Joan of Arc at the stake martyrdom. That’s what we need.
Proper martyrs are those who actually died for their cause.
Why aren’t these grandstanders following through?
“We will do our jobs free from outside interference.”
No accountability for us. We do our jobs without answering to anybody, period.
Against that backdrop, Garland will tell lawmakers that the department welcomes “public scrutiny, criticism, and legitimate oversight,” but “singling out individual career public servants who are just doing their jobs is dangerous – particularly at a time of increased threats to the safety of public servants and their families.”

Hurtling toward the Abyss
The Republican majority’s farcical self-harm now increasingly appears to be putting America on a path hurtling toward a government shutdown ahead of a deadline for new federal funding at the end of next week. This could mean furloughs for federal workers who provide basic services, that troops could go unpaid and the possibility of severe damage to an economy that can’t afford more knocks if the impasse is prolonged.
A shutdown – provoked by the demands for massive spending cuts by GOP hardliners that they have no hope of forcing through the Senate or getting President Joe Biden to sign, could sour voters on the small House majority they gave to Republicans in the midterm elections. More broadly, it could raise fresh doubts about the capacity of a polarized nation – featuring an ever more extreme and performative Republican Party in ex-President Donald Trump’s image – to govern itself.
Only a military dictatorship can save democracy now. Just until the danger has passed, mind you.
Fascism has always been the goal of progressives.
I thought fascism was just a means for them to get us to marxism, which is just feudalism with a new crop of even more brutal and evil overlords, when the class nonsense that evil cult is based on won’t work.
It’s just Marxism with the co-opting and skin-suiting of existing cultural institutions. It plays better to human behavior than full on communism.
I used to think that. But I think they’ve realized the private sector does basically everything better than the government does. So taking it to Marxism is a non-starter unless they want to bend up with their heads on pikes.
So they’re more likely to steer toward fascism with their preferred business partners happily going along with it.
This is correct. And it is well under way.
They even have a racial hierarchy, just one that is the inversion of the Nazis.
Sort of. They hate freedom of choice, as some people might make the “wrong” choices. So it it vitally important for the gov’t to limit those choices.
Everything else is just inside baseball.
“I used to think that. But I think they’ve realized the private sector does basically everything better than the government does
Wait wut?
Most of these lefties I meet think the only entity that can solve problems is government, while I think every thinking person knows our problems exist because of government.
“So taking it to Marxism is a non-starter unless they want to bend up with their heads on pikes.”
I think you give them a lot more credit and ascribe a lot more intelligence to them than they are due. Maybe some amongst the leadership are there and the masses are just useful idiots, but when they keep telling us how they pine for the power of the CCP to rule us serfs, I am certain they prefer marxism regardless of the fact that it fails by default. After all, their priority isn’t a working system that produces wealth and advances society as much as it is to put them in power. so they can rule the deplorables with an iron fist.
“So they’re more likely to steer toward fascism with their preferred business partners happily going along with it.”
I suspect we end up with a hybrid where the fascist scam that the private sector is a free will not only be done away with (they need to control information and pick the winners & losers, and fascism makes it too hard to do so at the speed they want). is replaced with a far more heavy handed system more akin to the marxist one.
But either way, we are heading for a mountain of dead bodies and misery for all again.
The useful idiots think their only solution is government.
The ones who get power understand that the crony system is more profitable and provides better political cover.
Yeah, until you get an Elon Musk fucking it all up…
Can Congress call Epps to a public hearing now that he’s no longer subject to prosecution for what he says?
Convenient for the corruptocracy, right?
Let me guess, part of the ridiculous sentence was a gag order.
A public hearing in congress would interfere with the ongoing investigation and criminal charge process…
And watch them take a really long time (at least until well after they rig, I mean fortify, the 2024 election) to finally accept a plea deal from this guy.
Both great songs. That second one especially, when you look up the story behind it.
“If Adolph Hitler flew in today, they’d send a limousine anyway.”

You are the president’s prosecutor.
The Justice Department works for the American people.
Lol. Good one.
He’s the President’s fixer, sort of like Michael Cohen but even more morally twisted and much more dangerous.
Epps was charged with a misdemeanor count of disorderly and disruptive conduct.
So he will sit in solitary for 2-3 years pre-trial like the other J6 defendants, right? (Never mind that he is on video telling people to go into the capitol and throwing a sign at cops…)

Latest from Project Veritas, part two on HiTOPS
Project Veritas today released additional undercover footage of HiTOPS employees revealing their efforts to offer sexual and gender identity trainings to elementary aged children. In a recording obtained by Project Veritas, HiTOPS’ Director of Education and Administration, Stacy Robustelli, shared that five students “came out” as LGBTQ as a result of HiTOPS’ training of students in grades three, four, and five.
I used to think that. But I think they’ve realized the private sector does basically everything better than the government does. So taking it to Marxism is a non-starter unless they want to bend up with their heads on pikes.
As a practical matter, why take on the headaches of government run collectivization when you can concentrate 90% or more of production and sales into a monopoly, and just operate in partnership?
Err, fascism is a form of Marxism. It institutionalizes the Marxist division of society into Capital, Labor, and the State. Whereas Marx wanted to collapse these three divisions into a single formless mass of brainwashed commie proles, the fascists took it in a somewhat different direction. While Marx saw the State as consuming the other two and then withering away, the fascists saw the State as the first partner in the triumvirate ordering society.
To be crystal clear – no Marx, no fascism. Fascism is a variant branch of Marxism, nothing more or less.
Fascism – all the totalitarianism of Marxism, none of the egalitarian bullshit.
Exactly. Mussolini was an ardent communist. I believe he was kicked out of the party over support for WWI, but he never really abandoned the ‘ideals’ of communism. Just saw a ‘third way’ to implement. So the origins of ‘formal’ fascism are Marxist. Listen to NAZI speeches/rallies, they are replete with Marxist ideas. The fascists were always antagonistic to market economies and individual liberty. The communists and the fascists only fought so violently because they were in competition for the same hearts and minds, the segments of the population that saw centralized power and authority as the means to achieve political aims.
In case you’d forgotten, today is Unification Day!
Anyone up for going to an Alliance bar and raising a ruckus after work?
That sounds like a terrible idea.
I like brussels sprouts and turkey bacon and I vote!
Anything is better than potatoes.
YOU SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH!
Costco has scalloped potatoes that are delicious and no work.
The fake bacon, which some people thought gave the real stuff real competition, was made from coconut oil, white rice flour, pea starch, tapioca starch, maple syrup and more.
It is strange how people think that using a bunch of alchemy to replicate a flavor/food is better than just eating the real thing.
It’s the food companies. The whole food movement is an existential threat. Hence, the “ethical” framing of mass species destruction that is modern monocropping.
Cows are bad ‘mkay?
Just look through the comments to the Instagram post I linked up thread.

I love that guy. He needs his own show.
He didn’t report it, because he didn’t think it was his business.
The world could learn from this man.
The bizarre circumstances of the House crisis were encapsulated during one appearance before reporters on Tuesday by McCarthy when tensions appeared to boil over when he was asked about aid to Ukraine – that Biden warned at the United Nations on Tuesday was critical to winning a war that would spill far beyond its current footprint amid Russian expansionism if the US abandons Kyiv.
“Was Zelensky elected to Congress? Is he our president? I don’t think so,” McCarthy said, in a striking outburst against a Washington ally fighting a war for his country’s survival. Zelensky will be in the Capitol on Thursday, on a mission to shore up his country’s desperately needed aid pipeline from the US.
Even to a leader from a war zone constantly under attack from Russian drones and missiles, Washington’s utter failure to govern itself is likely to look like dysfunction run riot.
Anything less than total capitulation is dysfunction.
All four Harris County Commissioners voted Tuesday to turn the Harris County Public Libraries into a “Book Sanctuary” system. According to the resolution, the “book sanctuary” distinction is meant to combat censorship, defend intellectual freedom and protect the right to read.
“Intellectual freedom”, “porn for kids”. “Tomayto”, “tomahto”…
They’re just doing their part. It takes a village to groom a child you know…
Will they provide “sanctuary” for books by Milton Friedman, Hayek, Rand, von Mises, or the juvenile-aimed “Jonathan Gullible” or is it just for books about sodomy, genital mutilation, and kiddie diddling?
Hate think is not protected words!
Biden Youth Corps
The White House on Wednesday unveiled a new climate jobs training program that it says could put 20,000 people to work in its first year on projects like restoring land, improving communities’ resilience to natural disasters and deploying clean energy.
The American Climate Corps is modeled after a program that put millions to work during the Great Depression. President Biden’s climate policy adviser Ali Zaidi told reporters that the program has broader goals beyond addressing the climate crisis.
“We’re opening up pathways to good-paying careers, lifetimes of being involved in the work of making our communities more fair, more sustainable, more resilient,” Zaidi said.
The program will pay participants, and most positions will not require previous experience. The administration is also proposing new regulations aimed at making it easier for participants to enter the federal public service after the program.
Don’t tell me this motherfucker isn’t responsible for his actions.
So they’re going straight into brainwashing now it seems. Crazy shit…
The idea of a climate corps began with progressive environmental activist groups, including the youth-led Sunrise Movement.
“We need millions of people, especially young people, employed to do the essential work of averting climate catastrophe and building a fair and equitable new economy,” said Varshini Prakash, the group’s executive director, who has advised the White House on climate issues.
“I am thrilled to say that the White House has been responsive to our generation’s demand for a Climate Corps and that President Biden acknowledges that this is just the beginning of building the climate workforce of the future,” Prakash told reporters.
Nothing outside the State.
Best article I’ve read on the F-35 posted on the back of the milk carton by the DoD.
On the Air Force and Navy versions, “the pilot has to initiate the ejection,” said Dan Grazier, a former Marine Corps captain and the senior defense policy fellow at the Project on Government Oversight, but the Marine version’s auto-eject is intended to better protect the pilot in case something goes wrong with the aircraft when it’s in hover mode. “Was that function triggered for some reason, and punched the pilot out?” Grazier said. “There’s a lot of unanswered questions.”
https://www.marinecorpstimes.com/news/your-marine-corps/2023/09/20/what-we-know-about-the-marine-corps-f-35-crash-in-south-carolina/
I remain very skeptical that the pilot is not mentioned. We don’t have a casualty here, so there is no objective reason details about the pilot would not be shared unless someone felt that might have a deleterious effect in the age of the woke airforce.
Yes, there is going to be a cover up here. Either pilot related or overpriced hardware related or both.
But this is too ridiculous to completely bury.
That’s what I keep suspecting, but we’ll only know if they reveal their identity.
1. Pilot screwed up massively, or
2. Software gave a false alarm that was a serious malfunction
3. The aircraft just decided to eject the pilot on it’s own and keep flying
#1 is probably their best hope.
I’m not a pilot and sincerely don’t know the answer to this – do they normally have autopilot on at 1000 feet?
The cultural revolution continues apace.
A Long Island town says it will gladly welcome the latest potential victims of New York City’s cancel culture: statues of historical figures such as George Washington and Christopher Columbus. …
The town’s offer comes the day after The Post reported that the Democratic-led New York City Council was advancing a proposal to yank from Big Apple property any statues and other artwork featuring figures with controversial pasts. For example, Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Peter Stuyvesant owned slaves, and Christopher Columbus has been accused of cruelly treating Native Americans.
There is another key difference, too. While the Conservation Corps primarily employed young, white men, the White House says that the American Climate Corps is designed to attract participants from disadvantaged communities disproportionately impacted by the changing climate.
He can put them all to work designing charging stations for electric cars.
They can do that in between screwing white folks out of their property rights because climate and eventually herding them off to camps because that’s where all the demonization leads to sooner or later. Cough up that tax money whites and Asians to finance your own demise yet again.
They may not have thought through the optics of POCs and blacks doing unskilled manual labor “restoring the environment” (read: shoveling shit).
I pictured them overpaying kids to go around and screw in LED light bulbs and install low flow shower heads.
Not actual work.

The United Auto Workers Is Overplaying Its Hand, Risking Our Economy and the Election
The UAW might be demanding too big a slice of a soon-to-shrink pie
NPR had a story about how the strike was NBD, only affected a few models of car, and since there was MORE INVENTORY AT ANY TIME IN two YEARS! there was no way prices would go up.
You mean the last two years of historically low volume?
I think uaw is about to permanently kill off ‘American’ car manufacturers.
Bailout incoming!
You mean they want a return on their politician buying investment?

Sedition and treachery
The White House issued a stark warning Wednesday that a looming government shutdown could threaten crucial federal programs, blasting “extreme House Republicans” as lawmakers struggle to reach consensus on a funding plan.
“While President Biden has been in New York this week showcasing America’s global leadership on the world stage, extreme House Republicans are consumed by chaos and marching our country toward a government shutdown that would damage our communities, economy, and national security,” the White House warned on Wednesday.
“Instead of following the bipartisan example of Republicans and Democrats in the Senate, extreme House Republicans continue to demand a reckless laundry list of partisan proposals as a condition of keeping the government open – from an evidence-free impeachment that even some of their own members don’t agree with, to reckless cuts to programs millions of hardworking families and seniors count on, to a litany of other extraneous ideological demands.”
Showcasing America’s world leadership by surrendering our national autonomy to the UN?
Why do they cling to their reckless laundry list of partisan demands when everybody knows our partisan demands are completely reasonable and good for the nation?
Stay away from those extreme House Republicans. Come join the sensible, moderate people over here in Normalland, where women have penises and the world’s energy needs will be met with a few windmills.
And rare earth minerals vital to the green economy are only mined and processed where our delicate environmentally-sensitive eyes will never see it.

No, nuke Brussels when the Euorcrats are in town.
Why are those boats not being sent to Davy Jones’ locker?
At a minimum, the Italians should be seizing the boats upon landing and arresting the operators.
It’s completely out of control.
Or, you know, repelling the invaders.
Is the Italian navy known for being able to “repelling invaders?”
What do the internationalists have on Milfoni I wonder? Man did she change 180 degrees on just about everything.

Like when the pilot’s oxygen supply is cut off?
Hey now, that’s supposed to fixed…
(Can’t remember from memory, but it may have the F-22 with the life support issues.)
Yes, there was a problem with the F-22 oxygen system for a while.
Banana republic time, baby!
This simulation sucks.
But it does look like a recreation of Dave
(Can’t remember from memory, but it may have the F-22 with the life support issues.)
To be honest, I can’t say for certain. I think it was the F35. I think the F22s had some other way of killing their humans.
Speaking of the UAW…
In multiple articles leading up to the strike, auto workers who were interviewed talked about how they “had to” work 60, 80, 100 hours a week just to scrape by. That sounds like the manufacturers were grievously understaffed. I’m sure giant pay raises and getting rid of tiers and reinstating defined benefit pensions will be a huge incentive to expanding payrolls.
*If you are a UAW worker who has to work 100 hours a week to make ends meet, you might have a spending problem.
Or they are just liars.
I’m going with liars.
Here’s the deal: overtime (which they would have been collecting in truckloads) is way more expensive than straight time. Nobody staffing with hourly people wants to incur more than a pretty de minimis amount of overtime, pretty much what is unavoidable due to vacations, sickness, the general bumpiness of a complex operation.
Not even the automakers are stupid enough to throw money away on overtime rather than hiring to what they need to run the plants without it.
Did they specify if those interviewed auto workers were UAW?
If lawmakers are unable to reach an agreement, the White House said, active-duty military and federal law enforcement personnel would be forced to work without pay until funds are appropriated, while FEMA’s Disaster Relief Fund – which the administration has already warned is running dangerously low – could be depleted, complicating disaster relief efforts.
The White House estimates 10,000 children would lose access to Head Start programs across the country as the Department of Health and Human Services is prevented from awarding grants during a shutdown, while air traffic controllers and TSA officers would have to work without pay, threatening travel delays across the country. A shutdown would also delay food safety inspections under the Food and Drug Administration.
“These consequences are real and avoidable – but only if House Republicans stop playing political games with peoples’ lives and catering to the ideological demands of their most extreme, far-right members,” the White House said. “It’s time for House Republicans to abide by the bipartisan budget agreement that a majority of them voted for, keep the government open, and address other urgent needs for the American people.”
Chaos! Anarchy! Blood in the streets!
Biden is unveiling the American Climate Corps, a program with echoes of the New Deal
https://www.npr.org/2023/09/20/1200483937/biden-climate-corps-job-training
Paywalled article I read on it said they refused to say how much it would cost. Shocking…
Who’s heading it up? Corn-pop, a Biden crime family associate, or one of the Obama kids?
If Biden uses a body double, can you imagine how terrible of a job that must be for those body doubles? They’ve maintained their health well enough to make it to their twilight years only to pretend to be half retarded and constantly soiling themselves.
Did they specify if those interviewed auto workers were UAW?
As I recall, they were workers in big 3 factories, not suppliers. Even as a lowly tiered employee, they’re getting paid pretty goddam well compared to the rest of the world.
they refused to say how much it would cost.
It’s free.
Why the bail revocation? I get the politics, I don’t get the actual rational. I think he’s guilty, but until conviction he gets the presumption of innocence.

It’s the politics. Krasner is also charging 1st degree murder which seems a bridge too far, but that’s politics too. Maybe, one day, cops will learn you don’t jump out of your car and fire off your magazine at someone who is “disrespecting your authority.”
So fucking precious
Former Vice President Mike Pence and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) have also vowed not to renominate Powell.
“From COVID on, they put too much money into the economy,” DeSantis told CNBC last month.
Yeah, it was the Federal Reserve what was dumping that money out of the helicopters.
DeSantis continues to disappoint, doesn’t he?
Boy he does.
Dammit DeSantis,…
