The news is full of stories about polar vortices, how “climate change” is making winter colder, how unprecedented the weather is… let’s get real, IT’S JANUARY. And here in Glibs Gulch, we’re pretty far north and in the hills. Surprise surprise, it’s cold as shit and it’s been snowing continuously. I don’t need to make things up.
And I don’t need to make up birthdays either, which include a guy who furnished several American victories; the Ron Jeremy of his day; a guy who loved you, baby; a poor man’s Red Skelton; a guy who was to sword-and-sandals what Clint Eastwood was the spaghetti westerns; a singer-songwriter with a million dollar smile; easily the most dishonest AG since John Mitchell; and the true star of Buffalo Bill.
Yes, it’s cold, but the Links are pre-warmed.
What could possibly go wrong? I was amused to note two things- first, the buried admission that the 6 foot thing was indeed absolute bullshit, and secondly the quiet change from viruses to bacteria and viruses to just bacteria. You’re not supposed to notice that.
I guess I’m fortunate that we don’t have a law school here. This does tell you much about the UC system.
Remember how intensely badly Stacy Abrams wanted to be Biden’s VP pick in 2020? Many laughs from that. This time around, things are different and the same.
I am sincerely confused by the “race-based violence” claim here.
My old buddy Los Doyers is down there at the moment. Hope his wife is keeping him on a tight leash.
The Gruniad never disappoints. Sorry to keep linking them, but their pants-wetting is always amusing.
The Old Man sends this one out to (Houston-area based) Sloopy. I do like how they adapted the old Baltimore Colts marching band tune. May the Irsays burn in Hell, all of them.

My first exposure to this song was Boiled in Lead’s version:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5az0D71nrtM
I like the campiness of the Boney M version, it’s like the seventies was distilled down to its essence.
So true. That performance screams the 70s.
May the Irsays burn in Hell
Now do Art Modell.
Last time I was in Cleveland (a couple months ago), I went to the stadium and saw… The Browns.
Art Modell is a god among men.
Modell didn’t just give up the name willingly you know. Couple of choice quotes out of different articles.
Old Man, you’re like a Los Angeles fan of the Chargers.
You are not decreasing my admiration of this wonderful man.
The only decent owners of any NFL franchise ever – Green Bay.
The Krafts never sucked up tax dollars for their stadium. So that’s a huge point in their favor (all 3 major Boston area stadia are privately owned and funded).
I have to give Kraft credit. It’s amazing in a state that loves it some government, that it happened that way.
That toilet used to be on display in a bar in Cleveland, with an Art Modell mannequin sitting on it.
I would have no issue with Stan Kronke and the Bidwell clan being used for kindling.
What’s the knock on Kronke?
Moved the Rams back to LA.
See, they could’ve gone back to Cleveland, where they started.
We lost the Cardinals, now known in this city as the Desert Rats, because taxpayers balked at paying for a new stadium for Bidwell. The Rams were different, there was political support and funding was approved to build a new stadium for Kronke. He left anyway. Fuck them both. On the plus side – taxpayer funds were not spent building a billionaire a new stadium and the city was able to extract $790 million from Kronke for leaving. The minus is not having a home team to root for. Again.
a guy who loved you, baby
Happy birthday Frankie Valli!
“Race based”: But aren’t the Somalis the white folks of Africa? *checks google* No, no they are not.
From the comments: “They were fighting over whose Black life mattered more.”
Honestly, I looked at the photos and wypipo seem to be strangely absent, so I’m not sure why the school says it’s race-based despite the actual pugilists saying it was no such thing.
Bonus hilarity: adults with active warrants making bad decisions. Again.
There is so much to parse in this story.
That is as concise a description of the U.S. swirling down the drain as I have seen lately.
Native born black Africans are often racist as fuck against African Americans due to their “impure blood”…”mud people” I believe is the common colloquial term.
My few experiences with Somali’s in conversational settings has devolved into their racial tirades against blacks born here. The Somali’s I have met hate them like few white people I have ever known. They don’t just use the N-word, they use it with an inventiveness I’ve not experienced when I’ve heard it said in the past. They seem eager to let white people know they are not like American born blacks.
See my comment below. Their ancestors were never slaves.
The retort, I’ve heard from the black American kids is “Yeah, but your ancestors were the losers in the civil war and that is why you are here.”
And they say kids aren’t learning history.
I thought you went to Columbia for the hookers and blow, not Tinder dating.

The strange would have to be pretty damn spectacular to get me to set foot in that shithole.
I saw an article headline recently about Medellin being a hot tourist destination.
Made me do a spit-take.
No, I did not read the article.
I heard the food truck scene is lit.
It’s a shame. I’ve watched a couple of documentary shows on the country and it is a beautiful place. Unfortunately the corrupt narco state is a deterrent for me.
I stayed in Colombia for a week with a former colleague who found a uni gig there.
Certainly not my first encounter in the States, but (after shadowing once) I purchased blow on my own in Medellin. It was Remarkably/ predictably chill. My mom went two years ago with her Spanish-learning friends on a group tour. They had a great time, though significantly different than mine.
Especially in Asia, not-so in Europe, tourists are remarkably cared for. You’re white (well, I am) NOT a local, an American (well, I am), and ya have money. Tourist money runs much of southern Asian countries’ economies. The State doesn’t want that faucet meddled with. Fuck with a foreigner and the cops will go out of their way to help. “APB, whitey down.” Can’t tarnish a national image. People may cancel their flights. And yep, those fuck-Os w weird kinks/fetishes? Same concept. Blind eye turned by many/most/all. Too much money at stake.
Predictable and revealing.
Yeah, I’m sure Tay Tay (do the kids call her that?) is crying all the way to the bank. 🙄
I like three of her songs. (Shake It Off is a legit pop classic already. Blank Space and Bad Blood (<– Anthony Rizzo's music as a Cub)). Smart businesswoman and works her ass off. Looked up her tour dates: IIRC over six months, five continents, 7-8? countries, ~60 shows, and napkin research +math, ticket sales for just the in-person shows, let alone the BS she pulled of getting folk to pay to see her live concerts in theaters near you!… is around $1.5B. She apparently is worth $1.1B already. (I can do that but I don't wanna.)
We're about the same age. I bet I'd impress her.

Might not be true but plausible, the whole Mughal thing-arguably the deadliest conquest in the history of ever-really soured the Hindus on Mohammed.
But, yeah, them serving in Israel’s military is a silly claim.
It is hard to believe.
You have to be Jewish, or have a Jewish parent or grandparent, to enlist
in the IDF. I imagine a very thorough search could turn up a Hindu
with a jewish parent or grandparent butI can’t imagine there’s
enough of them to be of any significance whatsoever.
Except for the Druze who are very much not Hindus:

I think what I looked up applies to foreigners looking to enlist.
I think any citizen can volunteer, but haven’t looked into it
specifically.
That never stops a propagandist.

May the Irsays burn in Hell, all of them.
Never forget that the Irsays left in the middle of the night because earlier that day Maryland had voted on a bill to seize the Colts by eminent domain.
The government was the root cause of those moving pictures, and the media always overlook that.
Similar to the problem with the Preakness.

Seriously.
Even if they weren’t playing the Bills.
I’m all for KC disintegrating like the Eagles did. Love them short-lived dynasties.
I saw my first Josh Allen commercial the other day. I don’t think he’ll be taking over the airways like various Chiefs characters.
The Eagles are not, nor have ever been anything resembling a dynasty. The Chiefs are the closest thing to one without yet being one. Just one one more SB win and they surpass the 90’s Cowboys. It’s going to happen. If not this year, soon. Deal with it. 😉
And yes, I know that only ties them with three SB wins but the overall body of work would be slightly more impressive.
It’s okay, being a fan means being at least a little delusional.
The Bills all the way.
What!?
Obligatory:

Hanging with old friends last night and we’re all in agreement – go Bills!
You poor people were terrorized by the Pats for 20 years, you deserve a break.
(Same situation for the Jets, but fuck those guys)
Yup, but as soon as we got any good, the Chiefs got amazing out of no where.
Conflicted on whether to even watch because it is guaranteed to be another heartbreaking loss.

What can I say? In Andy, Pat, and Spags I trust.
I cheered for the Chargers when Schottenheimer was coach. I know delusional.
Schottenheimer was handicapped by the Spanos clan owning the team, Philip Rivers being his quarterback, and his own inability to close the deal. He was the least of his problems.
What, no Matt Nagy?! 🥴
Marty is fondly remembered here.
He was the least of his problems.
He had a 14-2 team with first round bye, and he was completely out-coached by Bellichek, despite Tomlinson running all over the Patriots. And there was nothing wrong with Rivers in that game.
Mo! Did you hear the terrible news? Hi-Boy no longer sells onion rings due to their supplier going under and the inability to find a replacement who provides equal/similar quality ingredients.
I’m beside myself.
As far as I know there are only two, one in Sugar Creek-ish and one in Raytown. I’ve never been to a Hi-Boy *I don’t think*. But also, Sonic will do.
So I grew up very near Truman and Fremont, and there is?/was a drive-in called Teresa’s (Yelp says they’re still open). Best. Onion. Rings. Ever. My dad liked their deep-fried pork sandwiches. Then there was a root beer float drive in (can’t remember the name) (Black Cow?) on Winner and Independence Ave. THEN on Truman across from Independence Sanitarium (well, it was called that when I was born) was a little diner called Waid’s (they tried to go national). BUT on the subject of little diners, in Englewood was a Englewood Cafe we used to go to for breakfast (same block as the Ben Franklin, across the street from that little concert venue/movie theater where I saw Stryper). (Google maps tells me it’s still there.)
Anyway, little trip down memory lane. Thanks!
He appeared to indicate the community would seek local political influence and use that as a blueprint for state-level power. “The aspiration is that long-term down the road, 20 years from today, we continue to do this. We’re regionally focused; we can expand from there to states,” he said.

Robert Kennedy maybe. Went after the mob. Wasn’t in office long enough to do real damage.
Good point, it’s why he had to be taken out I guess.
MLK, Jr. has a few thoughts about that.
This would seem to go with how short the list of decent Presidents is.

JFC, wife has CBS Sunday Morning on and they are repeating the Matthew Shepard bullshit of homophobic murder.
I read a deep dive of that not long ago; forgot most of the details but IIRC the entire narrative is a fabrication.
See also: Stonewall, Harvey Milk, and I’m sure a few others.
One is simply not allowed to question certain narratives.
“the entire narrative is a fabrication”
Yep. Don’t know if it’s the same deep dive, but there’s a talk radio host here who did a thorough investigation of the incident and convincingly demonstrates that the official story is total bullshit. It was drug-related, pure and simple.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Book_of_Matt, perhaps?
You forgot George Floyd.
The Shepard thing was a dope deal gone bad, wasn’t it?
Certainly, but I was sticking with narratives around The Gay.
It is amazing to me how many of the left’s narratives….well, all of them really….in no way whatsoever match reality.
Yet, despite the evidence all around them every day, right in front of their eyes so many people buy into that nonsense.
It’s almost like they sit around waiting for stories which feed the narrative to fall into their lap – and since the narratives are mostly shit, the stories fall apart when you examine them.
It is what people do, belief trumps reality because reality isn’t comforting.
Wasn’t Jim Jones behind Harvey Milk after a political falling out?
That scene was unbelievably sordid. I’ve read deep dives of that too and it’s easy to forget the details because the whole thing just beggars belief.
Most of the prominent pols now from SF were essentially installed by Jones. Feinstein, Brown, Pelosi, etc. Jones openly admitted a number of times he was not really a religious man at all but rather a communist. Rarely is any mention of that made.
Sordid indeed. They are all scum of the earth.
Gross.

Self selection for Witch Finder General is not a pretty thing.
The youngest Altar Boy has told me that the beef between the Somalis and the black kids has been over slavery. The Somalis are quick to tell the black kids that their ancestors had never been slaves. For some reason, that doesn’t go well with the black kids.
Obviously the Somali kids are going to do super well in life. Not only are they untainted by the legacy of slavery, but they can see themselves as mayor.
Things have changed in St. Louis Park, that is for sure. It used to be nicknamed St. Jewish Park because of all of (((them))) who lived there. That suburb produced the Coen brothers, Al Franken and Tom Friedman. Now? Mohamed, Mohamed, Mohamed I guess.

One time early on in his foray into politics, Franken was in New Ulm, Minnesota, to give a speech beneath a monument to Hermann the German. But he couldn’t just throw out a joke the way he was used to.
“[I’m] speaking to the DFL (Democratic Farmer-Labor) picnic, and I’m in the shadow of Hermann the German,” Franken said. “I’m from ‘St. Jewish Park,’ as some people call it. … I did comedy for 37 years professionally, so any self-respecting comedian would say, ‘You know, here I am in the shadow of Hermann the German. You know, in St. Louis Park, we also had a statue — Stu the Jew.’”
And of course the Somalis have the superior religion.
Should hope so because the black guys got the looks.
You can pick out the Somalis pretty easy because they are ugly. Lots of overbites, bodies that are lanky and unmuscled often with pot bellies.
The black is the better ath-a-lete.

On a note related to the KY link, can someone tell me again why the FSP chose NH over WY?
Wyoming was so much the fucking obvious choice. They should pack up and move today, its so obvious.
they took a vote?
Libertarian democracy!!!
Yes, but Wyoming has 1) less people, making the impact stronger, and b) more libertarian adjacent natives.
Plus, wyoming is much more attractive as a destination, ignoring politics.
NH is much more convenient if you want to stay connected with business and relatives.
Not everyone likes wind.
See, it should’ve been an auction – that would be the true libertarian way.
Until it is not obvious any more.
I voted for Wyoming and other western states. I had moved to NH maybe a year or two before the vote.
My understanding from those who did vote for NH is a combination of NH being closer to jobs and the state legislature, specifically the state House of Representatives, being easier to influence.
I remember some of the materials floated around FSP lists/newsgroups/etc. for the different states. The folks pushing NH definitely had a better marketing campaign.
OH!
NH also had the lowest per-capita tax burden of all the states considered.
Sittin here waiting for the temps to go above freezing so I can wash dishes and myself
Ours thawed yesterday. The water pressure was super low, as in just a drizzle, until it started melting. That is when the ice in the pipes start letting go of the pipe walls and moving down the pipes to pile up and clog the pipe completely.
I was only able to have a shower this morning.
I can’t remember the last time it was above freezing. At least a week ago? Looks like tomorrow’s the day.
At the Bend development, where one half of the land’s original 170-acre, $1.03m lot will be divided into 50 small lots, the sellers will collect $2.05m if buyers meet the asking prices currently on the website. By comparing county land records to pricing on the Ridgerunner website, the Guardian determined that while the company paid around $6,011 an acre, buyers will pay up to the equivalent of $88,500 an acre for an unimproved lot, or up to fourteen times the rate HRP paid.
At the Longhollow development, sellers will collect a total of at least $2.27m on 550 acres of land they paid $900,000 for 460 acres of (one parcel which is under contract no longer displays the asking price). Kentucky Ridge Runner paid just over $1950 an acre; asking prices are up to $10,327.30 an acre.
Officials at Monroe county’s assessor’s office, county clerk’s office and chief judge’s office all said that there is no zoning or permitting required for land development in the county, and therefore developers pay none of the costs associated with those processes in other jurisdictions.
The Cumberland county clerk, Bryan Morgan, said that the county similarly did not require or charge for zoning or permitting.

Chumponomics
Millions of Americans are paying down their student loans for the first time in years but with more repayment options than before.
Chief among them is President Biden’s new income-driven repayment plan – Saving on a Valuable Education plan, commonly known as SAVE – which ties monthly payments to earnings and family size. The White House estimates the plan could save the typical borrower $1,000 a year on payments because it reduces the amount of income used to calculate monthly bills. And some people enrolled in the plan will have their balances forgiven starting in February.
——-
A little background: Income-driven plans cap monthly bills at a percentage of a borrower’s earnings and extend repayment periods from the standard 10 years to as long as 25 years, with the promise of forgiving the balance at the end of that term. Payments are based on a percentage of discretionary income, typically whatever a person earns above 150 percent of the federal poverty line.
SAVE differs from the existing four IDR plans in a few key ways.
It raises the amount of income shielded from the calculation of your payments from 150 percent to 225 percent of the federal poverty line. The plan also caps payments for undergraduate loans to 5 percent of income above that 225 percent threshold, instead of 10 percent. People with debt from undergraduate and graduate studies will pay a weighted average between 5 percent and 10 percent.
What’s more, you can skip having to manually recertify your income under SAVE if you give approval for the department to automatically access your latest tax return from the Internal Revenue Service.
Such a deal. What could possibly go wrong? It’s not like they are providing an incentive to remain poor and underemployed.
Do they put anything toward principal in those purely performative “repayments”?
The Democrats in a nutshell.
“Gee, why is tuition so high?”
This was my wife’s student loans when we had gotten married. She had .02 going towards principle every month. She didn’t understand that until I spelled it out for her.
A college graduate show have enough math background to understand that.
“WHO prepares for potential global pandemic 20 times deadlier than COVID
World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus has called on countries to sign on to the health organization’s pandemic treaty so the world can prepare for “Disease X.”
Ghebreyesus, speaking in front of an audience at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Wednesday, said that he hoped countries would reach a pandemic agreement by May to address this “common enemy.”
Disease X is a hypothetical “placeholder” virus that has not yet been formed, but scientists say it could be 20 times deadlier than COVID-19. ”
https://nypost.com/2024/01/21/news/who-director-tedros-ghebreyesus-calls-for-world-pandemic-treaty-to-prepare-for-disease-x/
No.
That’s a curious way to phrase that. You mean, they haven’t finished creating it yet?

Will SAVE affect the interest on my loans?
Under other income-driven plans, if your monthly loan payment was not sufficient to cover the interest that had accrued on your debt, the unpaid portion would be added on to your remaining balance. But that would end under the SAVE plan.
This is the only IDR plan that prevents negative amortization, one of the reasons borrowers can see their balances balloon over time.
“As long as you pay what you owe under this plan, you’ll no longer see your loan balance grow because of unpaid interest,” Biden has said about the SAVE plan.
It’s like “borrowing” money from Grandpa for an ice cream cone.
You can apply on the Education Department’s website at: studentaid.gov/idr. People who are already enrolled in the REPAYE plan will be automatically switched to SAVE.
The Education Department said it will take about 10 minutes to complete the application and roughly four weeks for student loan servicers to process it.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger had been hiding this report from the public for two years.
University of Michigan Professor of Computer Science and Engineering J. Alex Halderman and Security Researcher and Assistant Professor at Auburn University Drew Sringall collaborated on the report where they discovered many exploitable vulnerabilities in the Dominion Voting Systems’ ImageCast X system.
Far-left Judge Amy Totenberg sealed and covered up the results of the investigation of Dominion voting machines in Georgia and sat on the report until this week.”

I got to admit – this kind of bullshit doesn’t inspire confidence in the source.
She watches Bill Maher because it’s interesting topics and there’s nothing else on. I don’t object.
Gavin Newsom just handed Maher his ass in a bucket. Maher is an unprincipled man, a jumble of what-I’ve-been-offended-by-lately, the pox of these United States. So when the governor who is taller and more handsome and smoother runs circles around him, Maher can’t handle him; Newsom wins going away by ten lengths.
Newsom: blah balh LGEDIOSJBT+
Maher: you are so handsome; thanks for coming on the show
If Maher were principled, he’d unload: bureaucracy destroying jobs, projects that don’t work, debt that our grandchildren will inherit. Maher is everyman, trapped in a morass of evolving perspective but anchored to nothing.
This is what’s wrong with Republicans: they don’t care about small government or debt or bureaucracy any more; they care about how many hillbilly votes they can get. If the GOP could trot our some principled men, I might vote for them; as it is, there’s nothing to see here.
Nobody votes on debt.
The idea is to scoop up enough rednecks who hopefully share some of those ideas.
Principled men might attract principled voters – all 5% of them.
Maher’s loyal to Biden too. 🤷♂️
