Then-governor Christie enjoys some beach time at the Jersey Shore while the beaches were officially closed to the public, because COVID.
FAT CLOWN EXITS, STAGE RIGHT: Former NJ Governor, and all-around sack of shit, Chris Christie ends presidential bid, wisely fails to endorse another candidate. Good riddance, I say. Not that he had a chance in hell. My contempt for this man cannot be overstated.
NOT THE RIGHT TYPE OF DIVERSITY: Who would have ever thought that Hollywood would be anti-semitic, but here you go. Now maybe these people will realize that DEI is always a racket. LOL.
CAR RENTAL COMPANY HERTZ DITCHES EVs: Heh. (Link to archive to bypass registration/pay wall.) Surprised the government isn’t “incentivizing” the use of EVs here.

ARTEMIS LAUNCH SCHEDULE DELAYED, BUT WILL STILL BEAT CHINA TO MOON: NASA announces delays to Artemis program, but will still win the new moon race, says NASA administrator Bill Nelson.

Has there ever been a Governor of NJ that wasn’t an asshole?
Has there ever been a Governor
of NJthat wasn’t an asshole?Thomas Jefferson? Governor of Virginia 1779 – 1781.
There is no evidence of that.
Ouch. Damn. Sure, he could have been an asshole on a personal level, but he comes across as very decent and humane. I know, hagiography, and all…
I mean, if you’re a governor, being an asshole kinda comes with the territory.
The one on Benson?
One with an ostomy bag?
Has there ever been anyone who wasn’t an asshole?
The 48th governor of Massachussets if you can believe it.
I lived in NJ for 26 years and Christie was by far the best Governor during that time (including Whitman). And he is an asshole I couldn’t stand.
+1. Whitman was a perfect RINO. Christie at least shit on the teachers’ union.

““An inclusion effort that excludes Jews is both steeped in and misunderstands antisemitism,” reads the letter, organized by the group Jew in the City’s Hollywood Bureau for Jewish Representation. “Jewish people being excluded from the Motion Picture Academy’s Representation and Inclusion Standards is discriminating against a protected class by invalidating their historic and genetic identity.” ”
Oh, bullshit.

They do that with frequency.

NASA Administrator Bill Nelson is unconcerned that China will beat the United States in returning astronauts to the moon.
Both China and the United States have plans to land astronauts on the moon before the decade is over, reviving talk of a new space race. “It is a fact: We’re in a space race,” Nelson said in a 2023 interview.
Better tell your pals at the EPA and FAA to get out of Elon’s way, then.
Honestly, if it came down to it — China could send up a whole base in one shot with a real Orion type ship. Who’s going to stop them? They already don’t give much of a crap about the environment…
Jews demanding shelter under the Hollywood diversity umbrella: OK, OK…don’t get y’all’s knickers in a twist but aren’t Jews already just a tad bit overrepresented in the entertainment industry? Maybe the standards should just be eliminated altogether.

Being overrepresented is no disqualification for “diversity” affirmative action. As long as you are from one of the privileged classes (women, POCs, etc.) there is no such thing as overrepresentation.
Want to make a lefty’s head explode? Point out that black people are overrepresented on the Supreme Court, since they hold 2 of 9 seats, and 22% close to double their percentage of the population.
Yeah sure, if you count Clarence Thomas as black.
He’s anti black, so once you do the math, there are no blacks in the supreme Court.

“I’ve long maintained that China’s best bet for achieving that is a permanent moon base which they could easily accomplish by landing a crew and using unmanned missions to (re)supply and expand their operations.”
That doesn’t sound easy given their level of technology. They can’t even build a decent car.
Yeah, sounds like a longshot-they even have trouble license building Russian designed fighters and missiles to an acceptable standard.
They’ve done some impressive work with Chang’e 5 unmanned lander and sample return. They were the third nation to achieve crewed spaceflight. They’ve got a space station of sorts. They aresecretive about their space program so could probably lose a crew without anyone knowing.
Indeed, I thought I saw speculation that a recent Chinese mission that crashed into the Moon may have been manned. As I recall, the ChiComs claimed it wasn’t even one of their rockets, which (a) is an easily disproved lie and (b) sounds like the kind of overdone lie you tell in a coverup of something big.
In my previous job, when a customer requested Chinese made steel (usually Chinese customers), we had to de-rate it by 30% to account for the shitty quality.
In my current job, we have to de-rate their composite (fiberglass and carbon fiber) by 20%.

Banana republic charade is a charade.
The majority of people in China have never seen indoor plumbing. I think they have bigger priorities than a pointless moon base.
In the end they will collapse just like the USSR did.
And it is possible that the USSR collapsed because of the Space Race, the Peace Race, and ultimately the Mineshaft Race.
This TV series about young gangsters right before the collapse of the USSR became an instant hit in Russia in the last couple of months. I liked it a lot. I don’t think there’s a version with English subtitles.
The Economist article is lame. It’s not banned in Russia and Ukraine bans everything Russian.
Electric cars work just fine…

Lots of people, especially in cities, can barely afford one car, that they have to park on the street. EV mandates are a huge, hairy, FUCK YOU to those people.
If I still lived in a medium sized city, I would be contemplating one, but, alas, I do not, and most of my driving is highway.
Elon will get a moon lander up first, and it will be manned by a dude who makes a sports bet in space, and a woman who owns a pot farm. I have spoken.

The cause of the avalanche is under investigation, officials said. It happened as a powerful storm was expected to bring as much as 2 feet (61 centimeters) of snow to the highest elevations by early Thursday.
Palisades, the site for the 1960 Winter Olympics, is on the western side of Lake Tahoe, about 40 miles (64 kilometers) from Reno, Nevada. Winds at the top of Palisades resort (8,000 feet) were gusting between 31 mph and 38 mph at the time of the avalanche.
Sounds like the ski patrol fucked up, unless those people ducked under the rope.

“The problem was not with Donald Trump; it’s Mark Milley and the Army leadership in control. They stopped the Guard from coming then lied about it and said the Guard acted at sprint speed,” he said.
There is literally documented proof that Trump offered the National Guard. The speaker of the house or the mayor of DC has to request them though. This lying/gaslighting is next level.
To really sustain the insurrection narrative, they should be saying they couldn’t trust the military because Trump was commander in chief.
I’m surprised they haven’t said that already.
The MAGAts are at it again.
Police on Long Island responded Thursday morning to a bomb threat at the home of Judge Arthur Engoron, who is presiding over former President Donald Trump’s civil fraud case, a source with direct knowledge of the situation told NBC News.
The threat came hours before closing arguments in the trial were scheduled to begin, with those arguments expected to proceed.
A Nassau County bomb squad was called to Engoron’s home and was investigating Thursday morning; it is unclear whether Engoron was home at the time.
I’m going to say it’s a deep state operative until proven otherwise.

This is where the prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment gets in the way of justice.

Where the money meets the road
“It’s a tough economic moment for sure,” said Mary Creasman, chief executive of California Environmental Voters. “At the same time, we would have hoped for a little bit more of a courageous proposal — something that is more creative and solutions-oriented about how to fund the transition that is so desperately needed toward clean energy and resilience.”
State officials stressed that the administration remains focused on accelerating California’s clean energy future and underscored progress made toward renewable energy resources and zero emission vehicles.
Yet the proposed budget includes notable trims for zero emission vehicle programs, including $600 million in delayed funds for the Clean Cars 4 All equity project and grants for electric fueling infrastructure. Creasman said that she was looking forward to drilling down into the details, but that the top-line figures did not reflect the urgency of the climate crisis.
“I feel like a broken record, but the cost of inaction is too great,” Creasman said. “There are real opportunities on the table to fund this transition, and California has globally relevant targets in place on emissions reductions and goals. … And yet we are not going to meet those unless we fund the work. That is our biggest obstacle left in the state.”
Somebody out there must not paying a fair share.

First lady Jill Biden said Thursday that congressional Republicans have been “cruel” to her stepson Hunter, one day after two House panels voted to advance contempt charges against the presidential scion.
“How have you been coping personally with the onslaught of accusations against your husband and your family, including and especially Hunter?” MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski asked the first lady in an interview on “Morning Joe.”
Brzezinski added that GOP lawmakers were “obsessing over” the first son after Hunter dodged a Dec. 13 subpoena to appear for a closed-door deposition with the House Oversight Committee about his overseas business dealings.
That’s sad. Everyone knows how nice Joe Biden is to people he doesn’t agree with.
These were the same people who endorsed vilifying Ivanka Trump because of her last name.

“The company’s conduct in 2019 was wrong and reprehensible,” said Jamie Iannone, Chief Executive Officer at eBay. “From the moment eBay first learned of the 2019 events, eBay cooperated fully and extensively with law enforcement authorities. We continue to extend our deepest apologies to the Steiners for what they endured. Since these events occurred, new leaders have joined the company and eBay has strengthened its policies, procedures, controls and training. eBay remains committed to upholding high standards of conduct and ethics and to making things right with the Steiners.”
Yet it took five years. Funny that.

Oversight as plainly called for in the Constitution
The powerful House Ways and Means Committee is threatening to reconsider the tax-exempt status of Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of Pennsylvania and Cornell University amid allegations the elite schools have failed to fight antisemitism on campus.
Rep. Jason Smith, the Republican chair of the committee, sent a letter on Wednesday to the four schools expressing alarm at their responses to antisemitism.
“Ultimately, as the US House Committee with primary jurisdiction over tax-exempt institutions and the treatment of their endowments, we are left to wonder whether reexamining the current benefits and tax treatments afforded to your institutions is necessary,” Smith wrote in the letter.
——-
The Ways and Means chairman noted that the universities’ tax-exempt status provides “lucrative financial benefits” and “advantageous tax treatment” of their endowments.
Smith said that given the schools’ “disappointing and lackluster responses” to the Hamas attacks and failure to protect Jewish students from discrimination, “we question whether your institutions are satisfying the requirements to receive those benefits.”
The committee is requesting written responses from Harvard, UPenn, MIT and Cornell by January 24 to a series of questions about free speech, efforts to protect Jewish students, diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programming and whether their endowments contribute to the universities’ tax-exempt purpose.
