“LEAVE TO FIND A DECENT CUP OF COFFEE.”
When does your workday end?
Sorry I missed this earlier. I get off work at 5 p.m. I just replied to your e-mail.
How did burnt coffee become the most popular thing in the country?
Don’t get me started. I’ve been so tempted to open my own coffee shop.
You should. Every few years there’s a new pretentious little chain around here charging the same as Starbucks but with 10x better coffee. They are always packed.
The only thing holding me back is I have absolutely zero business experience. That and I have a steady job with benefits, so too chicken to risk it.
If you can work twice as hard for half the money, you can run a business.
Can or are willing to?
Both. Just know it’ll happen and sometimes, when you don’t expect it.
It’s not as popular as donut-flavored coffee.
Bad coffee + sugar = Slightly more drinkable coffee
Bad coffee + flavored syrup = vomit inducing crap
Fuck that. If you’d have told, anywhere in the first half of my life, that coffee would become a major monthly expense and a massive chain of store would open selling it for crazy high prices, I’d have laughed and laughed. I’d say that next you’re gonna tell me that Toyota and Nissan would be making 350 ci v8’s and putting them in giant full sized trucks. Get the fuck outa here! Oh, and water would become a billion dollar industry with whole aisles devoted to it at the supermarket. Say wha? Wait, wait, wait. Pot is legal and cigarettes are not, LOL!
I dunno, but for whatever reason, I find all the coffee I get that’s been roasted in VT is quite good.
I’ve long wondered that myself.
Although, growing up, “coffee” meant some nasty brown powder stirred into a cup of hot water. Even the burned stuff is better than that.

If I win the lottery I am going to build a library addition onto my house then commission leather bound copies of the greatest works of the enlightenment. The library alone will probably be twice the size of my current house.
Dr. Sowell will have his own section.
Basic Economics is only 20 years old? I’d have sworn that was one of the first ‘political’ books I read along with the Peter McWilliams and Harry Browne books.
“Ain’t Nobody’s Business….” by PW is available for free on the download page (along with multiple stoic works).
“Schmidt unveiled a policy in August outlining his plans to presumptively decline some cases related to protests, but he reiterated that his policy focuses on people who commit violence against others and those who damage property or buildings. ”
Bullshit. I haven’t see that much catch and release since Bassmasters.
The only way to get busted for reals is to protect yourself. Cops ( and prosecutors) are so fucking stupid, they’ve managed to turn the tide back against them, even in this climate. There’s almost nobody left to root for anymore.

“FDA issues ‘Benadryl Challenge’ warning as it investigates reports of teen deaths and injuries linked to a TikTok craze and urges the social media site to remove videos”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8773315/FDA-issues-Benadryl-warning-investigates-deaths-linked-TikTok-challenge.html
Read the whole article, and it doesn’t say what the challenge is.
Buy Benadryl, sell it to a meth cooker saying it’s Sudafed?
Isn’t it to take enough to hallucinate and to be able to stay awake long enough to do so? Doesn’t sound like a very fun thing to do to me but what do I know?
Apparently it’s to use Benadryl as a hallucinogenic.
Can’t they just take LSD, psylocibin or MDMA like normal kids?
I think I actually hallucinated on that shit in the hospital a couple months ago – unlike anything illicit, uh, my friends might have done over the years.
I once took too much dextromethorphan (generic robotussin) by accident and I was tripping ballz.
Pretty sure that predates Tik Tok by at least a couple decades.
Why? Did antifa promise you they were going to be good? Did it interfere with some activity you had planned?
Exactly how many nights have you been letting this go on again? Methinks the lady doth protest too much.

I am also alarmed and angry after witnessing the violence in downtown Portland on Wednesday night. What started as a peaceful gathering to support the family of Breonna Taylor was overtaken by people who engaged in dangerous and criminal behavior.
Something something more of what you reward.
Yeah, that’s all it was intended. A peaceful gathering to support a family in a distant state.
Boston feels left out.
Walsh pushes for peaceful Breonna Taylor demonstrations in Boston
We need to recognize the root of the pain
Overregulation, oppressive taxation, leftist control of cultural institutions, the war on drugs, a complete loss of any understanding of the legitimate purpose and powers of the police, lack of accountability for cops when they exceed their legitimate powers, an urban culture that is often openly disdainful toward the legitimate laws?
After the left coast is left in ashes they will blame Donald Trump and the Republicans just like they after Detroit collapsed.
I am really starting to seriously consider that a divorce might be in order.
/waits for Mrs. Suthen to walk by and see that sentence out of context…
My first thought too.
Agreed, it’s come to the point that it’s an abusive relationship and we have irreconcilable differences. All that remains is to figure out who gets custody of the kids.
Kids is nuclear weapons, isn’t it?
Puerto Rico and American Samoa, the nukes are the heirloom china set.
There is never going to be a peaceful divorce. Authoritarians on both sides want the other to be forced to bend to their will. Under no circumstances will there be a situation where we “agree to disagree” and everyone can peacefully move to either the United States of Equality of Outcome or the United States of God Will Smite Them Sooner or Later. Neither side wants to just leave the other alone.
Shut the fuck up, libtard.

Hey, HM. ‘Sup?
I went to NH and all I got was this lousy osteomyelitis.
I’m feeling better though.
What’s new with you?
Eh. Same old. Pushing the rock up the hill. Watching the dying embers of my faith in humanity flicker out.
At least the sight mount for my pistol came in, should be able to get it to the gunsmith tomorrow. They aren’t even taking backorders for the sight mount for the new shotgun (haz sad).
Sorry to hear about that infection HM. Hope the treatment isn’t too rough on ya man…
“Authoritarians on both sides”
Let’s say that the states of the old Confederacy, plus KY, MO, KS, NE secede from the Union tomorrow. Do honestly truly believe that a Triumivirate of Rand Paul, Ron DeSantis, and Greg Abbot would start putting teh gayz into camps?
I like how you left out Tom Cotton et al.
Perhaps he wasn’t Cotton-picking.
Well, I picked the governors of the two largest states, and a nationally popular politician.
If my hypothetical nation had executive authority vested in a triumvirate of the three top vote getters in a national election, I think those three would come in 1st, 2nd, 3rd in some order in a 2020 election.
You forgot the United States of I’ll Hold Your Beer while You and Him Fight.
I stand against hate and violence. Neither promotes the reform that is being demanded in our community and across the country. My office will always support and defend the right to free speech and the right to peacefully assemble, and we will always condemn violence.
We will defend free speech, unless it comes from anybody the SPLC doesn’t like. And it’s not violence if it’s self defense against structural racism and hate speech.
I was going to write something like that but you’ve done a much better job. We all know this is in preparation for those white supremacists who are planning on coming to town this weekend.

Seattle is already facing its share of challenges. So many closures because of COVID-19 restrictions. And then, there’s growing crime.
“People said there’s nothing left in Downtown,” Danishek said. “Even a council member I’ve talked to is disturbed by the disintegration of Downtown –over 100 stores closed; the Columbia store is closed and Macy’s.”
The virus won’t be wiped out until the remaining stores in Seattle are gone for good.
Seattle may soon descend to Detroit levels of city destruction very soon. But the Seahawks have been to the “big dance” unlike the Lions. That might be the only difference between the cities by 2024 though.
When I lived in Everett, I virtually never went downtown- never needed to other than 1 or 2 tourist things and some navy functions.
Wearying
Over 100 parents and kids gathered in front of the Willson Auditorium at noon. Drivers on Main Street honked in support.
“Our kids want to go back to school,” said Molly Ogle, whose children are in the sixth and 11th grades. “They don’t feel like they’re getting an education.”
The #Kidsmatter protest was organized on Facebook the day after the Bozeman School District board voted to remain in the blended model with two days of in-person learning and three of remote.
Ogle said she watched Monday’s board meeting — which lasted until around 1 a.m. — with her kids. After the board voted to remain in the blended model, she said her kids “were shattered.”
“Each family should be able to look at their risk level and make their own decision,” she said.
“Make heir own decision”? That’s crazy talk.
But THey’RE RiSKinG tHe LivES oF aLL ThE TEachERs!!!!!!!
Last year, the teachers would go out for drinks and lament, ” wouldn’t it be nice if we could somehow get a mute button for these students?”
The same age group of kids that are “demanding” climate action. I’m sure they are demanding a return to school on their own. Bullshit. It’s the parents that want their babysitter to take those incubators off their hands for 8+ hours a day.
Which one of you people did this?
Well played.
“ Some member of the community suspect the brain may have been part of a send-off ritual for the dead, which includes items — such as money and flowers — they can use in the afterlife, but no one “can explain the brain,” Senda said.”
Probably a funeral sendoff for somebody who liked brains with their eggs.
I was thinking a red herring type prank.
send-off ritual for the dead, which includes items — such as money and flowers — they can use in the afterlife
Back in th 90s a buddy and I were in Kona and went to visit the volcanic vents in the national park on the island. While looking at the steam come out of the vents we noticed a rectangular piece of paper fly up and out, seemingly emerging from the center of the Earth. We found the paper, it was an apparent currency labeled “HELL Money” and had an image of a gruesome ghoul in a bizarre hat in the George Washington spot.
Being quite stoned on some Maui at the time, it scared the shit out of us. Wow, Hell is real, and they even have their own paper money!
It wasn’t until much later we learned that some Chinese folk create Hell money and burn it to give their passed love ones some walking around cash in the afterlife. Clearly someone had tossed some into the vent with the intent of helping grandma, and it had later flowed back up to us. Phew!
But I’ll never forget those few hours we were convinced — no, terrified — that not only was there really a Hell, but it had a bank.
That right there is fucking awesome.
The name tag said “Abby Normal”.
I thought there were reports saying it was not a human brain?
Tonio’s link identifies it as an animals brain wrapped in tin foil in the opening paragraph.
Yes, yes humans are animals but that’s nit usually how we put meanings to those words.

Shocker – Murphy extends state of emergency in NJ. He can keep his dictator powers indefinitely without input from the legislature – the way the Founding Fathers intended.

At first I misread that as “Murphy ends state of emergency”. Then I reread it. Now I’m sad.
Not everywhere can be Florida.
Florida removed all restrictions, Indiana just moved to DEFCON-5 (or whatever), and “too soon” Georgia hasn’t been in the news for months…
I’m pretty sure everyone in Georgia is dead, which is why there’s no news.
As predicted.
Memory-holed along with the piles of dead in Sweden.
My next door neighbor’s mother moved here from Georgia a couple months ago. Seemed like a nice lady, up until the point where she said “Oh and I am so glad I got out of Georgia when I did, those crazy Republicans are opening up the state too soon.”
I am sure the people of Georgia feel the same way.

Your reaction to this video is the true libertarian litmus test.
Can I hate them both?
^^ this ^^
You failed.
Yes.
Can we protest police brutality by brutally attacking innocent people?
fail, as a libertarian you should (a) never ask permission and (b) already hate everyone.
Should be legal and is I believe but it’s not surprising he was confronted.
Did you notice when the cop slid his hand near his holster?
At least it was done in landscape mode.
^^^
The cop doesn’t even get that the guy is doing to him what cops usually do to people they stop…
Hard to think when you go from zero to roid rage in 60 seconds. Seriously, all he had to do was walk back into the building. Just open the fence with the “Employee’s [sic] Only” sign and go on with your day. But no, he had to go into full dick measuring mode with the “civilian”.
That that type of personality is attracted to policing is why they are so problematic. The whole “Do what I tell you or I will cave your fucking head in” type just baffles me. Petty tyrants that take it out on others because their lives suck.
And I thought exactly what you said HM. As soon as you realized the guy was dicking with ya just leave. That’s what the other cop did. But though cop just couldn’t let go of some civilian giving him shit… AND ON HIS SOIL!
I have personally berated a number of cops. They have no idea how to react. They’re not used to it.
“Failure to disperse”
It may not hold up (or even be filed) but they’ll give it out
I was once stopped by a cop when the town was running one of their usual fucking money raising rackets when I pulled into the parking lot of a BJs, and the cop asked me if I knew why he was stopping me. I in a very polite voice told him of course I did: the town needed money and was again fleecing people. My girlfriend in the seat next to me audibly groaned. The cop seriously didn’t know what to do. I asked him what the violation he thought he could claim I committed was, and she groaned again. He wrote me a ticket for not wearing my seat belt – an offense in The People’s Republic of Connecticut that can only be given if they stop you for an actual other traffic violation – and I signed it NOT GUILTY on the spot and told him I would not be paying the $95 fine until I had made sure the town had spent at least 5 grand and gotten me in court.
He gave me back the envelope, and while I could tell he was ready to blow, politely asked me to mail it in. I did. And they sent me a letter telling me not to worry. See, I have done this top these asshole towns using the police to bilk people before. Every ticket I have paid was after I went all the way to court and the town spent far more trying to recover whatever stupid fine they were trying to get me. The one time I almost got slammed was when I told the judge that these things had nothing to do with traffic safety and to go blow smoke up someone elses ass. He fined me an extra $500 and I told him I would be seeing him in court for that as well, and this time with a lawyer. He dropped it to $100 and I paid it to go home cause he then told me he would have me locked up for contempt.
Thank you for your service.
AlexinCT for president!
My father got a seat belt ticket in Houston. In Texas you can have a jury trial if you request one. When he went to court he demanded a jury trial. The judge tossed out the whole thing and told him to get lost.
As soon as you realize that this shit isn’t about safety but making quick money for places that usually are mismanaged (the money doesn’t even go to the police but to the state’s general fund), the system becomes easy to game. Most people might not have the time to waste or enough money to get a lawyer if it gets ugly, like I have been blessed with, to dedicate the time to do this sort of thing, but I tell ya: as soon as they realize you are not going to be one of the ones that just rolls over, pays up to make it go away, and lets them keep running the scam where they basically collect a check for just stopping you as they just get you to plead guilty, you will either get railroaded (to make an example of you, and hence the lawyer), or they will simply, going forward, let you be when you send in the not guilty plea.
I am always polite with cops, but I also don’t bullshit and I tell them they are full of shit about caring about helping people.
Somebody linked that a while back. I thought it was pretty funny.
I’ve seen this before. I think it’s funny AF. I love that the uniform cop a) seems to see the humor and b) has no desire to go to bat for his colleague
That guy is lucky to be alive.
My libertarian reaction is ‘I have no fucking idea what just happened’. Both of them suck?
It’s a police law enforcement parking lot, asshole.

Boo fucking hoo
Claudia Sahm, the former Federal Reserve economist who in July wrote a blog post detailing professional, sexist and racist harassment in her field, has left the Washington Center for Equitable Growth.
The blog post, titled “Economics is a disgrace” renewed focus on the profession, which is dominated by White men. While critics have long pointed to the lack of diversity in economics, the pandemic’s disparate impacts on people of color and women — and the renewed national conversation on inequality — has put a fresh spotlight on the field and others.
Sahm’s resignation from the Center for Equitable Growth, where she served as director of macroeconomic policy, is effective Oct. 2, after which she doesn’t have full-time employment, she said. Sahm is a regular contributor for Bloomberg Opinion and writes for the New York Times.
I have seen this person on Bloomberg. It is a blathering imbecile, spouting nonstop social justice claptrap.
“Economist”.
dominated by White men
Ruh-roh. Capitalized “White”. White Supremacist CONFIRMED.
That jumped out at me as well.
It’s a sad state of affairs when that is eyebrow-raising.
Also, the place was so dominated by men that she was Director of Macroeconomic Policy. Unless that was just a fancy title for a secretary, wasn’t she in one of the dominant leadership positions?
*slaps xer ass* “Howzabout some coffee for me an the boys, Toots?
When I was college, some asshole lamented that the Econ profession didn’t have any black people because most of the economics that are taught in college are from classical economists like Friedman and Hayek. Dude without any sort of proof said that classical economics are inherently racist and therefore that’s why we don’t see many black economists.
Sowell? ohwell.

I suspect the kids are at least as sick of their parents as their parents are of them.
The same age group of kids who want to defund the police and bully their college professors around. Their parents never disciplined them, so doing whatever they want is what they’re used to. For them, discipline consisted of their parents hopelessly screaming at them to do this or stop that, and them ignoring it and continuing with whatever they are doing, or not.
The old rule still stands, spare the rod, spoil the child. And this is what you get. The human race is doomed to extinction, which will be a welcome thing for those who are left to endure this idiocy.
Oh sure, but I bet they really just want to hang out with their friends, not go to school.

Not blaming the victims, but they kept 10 years of savings in a safe that can be casually walked out of the house? At least get one they’ll need a dolly for.
Mine is in the garage, with internal bolts as big around as your thumb going into the concrete floor (setting those was a stone cold bitch). Plus, its in a storeroom that you’d have to demolish to get any leverage or chains on it.
So, it’ll probably be gone when I get home.

Yes, I do have an address.
Whenever I read something like this:
“They have been watching us for a while. Video evidence shows they were on the street waiting for my brother and I to leave. They went into the house five minutes after we left and were in and out in about 30 minutes,” said Brown.
I immediately think the robbers were this guy and his brother.
Put your savings in the bank, like the rest of us, where the Fed can steal it at their leisure.

I wonder if they’ll show? Or is it another headfake to get antifa to trash the town?
do they really need an excuse to trash the town these days?
Nope but it is funny when the cops and antifa get baited being in the same place at the same time.
antifa won’t think it’s funny when we eventually get the new ‘reformed’ ultra militarized and meaner cops and they have a tank bearing down on them.

Just found out my dad passed away yesterday. 27 days after his long time wife (my step-mother) died. Awesome dude but refused to take care of himself, so it wasn’t much of a surprise.
Man, I’m sorry
Thanks. It’s a strange feeling even though we were not close. I already played this out in my mind because he was in such poor health but wouldn’t change his life style.
Doesn’t matter how prepared you think you are. My mom was diagnosed with a rare kidney disease that was terminal. She went on dialysis for almost 3 years, got a kidney transplant (I was on my way to donate mine cause she was not going to last 72 hrs without when they found a suitable donor), lost it after 17 years cause some idiot European doctor when she was there gave her a flu shot, somehow managed to get a second transplant after another 19 months of dialysis, and lived another 24 years because of it. My dad, my brothers, and I were ready to bury her decades ago, or so we thought. She outlived my dad by 4 1/2 years, and when she finally passed last December it was still shocking and hard despite knowing that it could happen at any time.
Being reminded of mortality sucks.
Mortality is pretty much on top of the list for sucks.
Sorry to hear. Condolences.
Well that sucks. Sorry to hear it.
So sorry, man.
I’m so sorry for your loss.
Never easy to lose a parent. Thoughts go out to you and yours.
My condolences
Thanks for everyone’s thoughts. If I don’t answer, it’s because I’m on my way to tie-ing one on.
You could tie one on with us ina coupla hours! We’re kind of nice, and definitely a distraction
I’m sorry. Godspeed, Dad.
Sorry to hear that. My condolences.
Condolence. That’s rough, even not being close.
Sorry to read.
So sorry about your dad, my condolences.
Very sorry for your loss.

So… Remember how Twitter said they were fighting misinformation? Remember how they said they were labelling misleading claims?
https://mobile.twitter.com/factcheckdotorg?lang=en
Feast your eyes.
A completely partisan Twitter feed of political disinformation, labeled “A nonpartisan, nonprofit “consumer advocate” for voters”, which is an utter lie.
Note the complete absence of Twitter sponsored “warning” flags.
Information superhighway. There is no next exit!
The punchline…. Which I am too impatient to hold back for the requisite amount of time… They are Twitter’s fact check partners.
They keep doing the same things over and over then throw tantrums when they lose. I don’t get it.
I am driving to the store at 4am this morning and there is some obscure radio talk show on. Liberal host and liberal guest. I think they didn’t know the mic was on.
They were earnestly talking to each other. “Who in their right mind thinks Biden has a chance in hell of winning this?” “Trump is going to blow it away” “Our only chance is to set sights on 2024” “Biden’s campaign is the worst presidential campaign in history”
On and on like that.
My suggestions: 1. Stop telling transparent lies every time you open your mouth. 2. Do not denigrate voters 3. Make your platform not about punishing the voters. 4. Keep the interests of the people that hire you in mind. 5. Stop burning the country down.
Just spitballin’ there.
The Party of Science l8ves to ignore data for some reason
I’ll take things that didn’t happen for 600, Alex
“2. Do not denigrate voters”
This is why they can’t change really. To these types, you know the elite leftist twit, we are not voters as much as cattle/serfs. We have a credentialed class of inept fucking morons that want to create a hereditary aristocracy, but the fucking people keep getting in the way with the people’s demands these credentialed morons that want to rule actually deliver, and not just keep fucking us all over and giving nothing in return, get in the way of that goal.
“It was not, in fact, the biggest story he had ever seen.”
LOL
Speaking of “social justice economics”
Lingering racial inequality is holding back America’s economy.
America’s failure to address wide gaps between Black and White communities has cost the economy up to $16 trillion over the past 20 years, according to an analysis published by Citigroup this week.
The report — focusing on inequities that exist in wages, education, housing and investment — underscores racial tensions that are helping to fuel unrest in the United States today.
“The 400 years of enslavement of Black populations in the Americas has residual effects that persist to this day despite tomes of legislation providing equal access to various aspects of American life under the law,” Citi economists wrote in a 104-page report that quotes Martin Luther King, Jr.
——-
The Citi report also urged companies to implement policies that address racial gaps that exist in the hiring, firing and retention of workers.
Earlier this week, Citi revealed plans to spend more than $1 billion to help close America’s racial wealth gap, including $550 million to help people of color buy homes and promote affordable housing built by minority developers.
“To emerge from a history of entrenched segregation and active discriminatory policy into an era of genuine equity will require conscientious reform at individualistic, corporate, and governmental levels,” the Citi economists said.
Whatever. This makes me want to short Citi.
Christ. On a cracker.
COAC?
The Citi report also urged companies to implement policies that address racial gaps that exist in the hiring, firing and retention of workers.
Does this include professional sports, especially the NBA?
The 400 years of enslavement of Black populations in the Americas
I’m kinda dubious that slavery in the Caribbean hundreds of years ago has much effect on anything in the US.
The Citi report also urged companies to implement policies that address racial gaps that exist in the hiring, firing and retention of workers.
There’s not a company in the country that doesn’t have policies that prohibit racial discrimination. Equal opportunity, we’ve got (probably as much as any human society could have).
What policies are they proposing to address these unequal outcomes? Is CIti leading the way? When are they going to fire the right number of white executives, and hired the right number of minority replacements? One black dude out of sixteen? Only six women? Seriously, Citi?
“What policies are they proposing….”
The same policy their ilk always propose: Wealth redistribution and more power for themselves. Redistribution always means more for them, less for you.
^^^^This guy gets it^^^^
This inequality shit is nothing but a cloak to add the veneer of legitimacy to those that want these fucking assholes to pick winners and losers.
Nice stolen base there by using “Americas” as if the US is responsible for Spanish colonialism in Latin America. Let’s try again. Two hundred year enslavement that ended 155 years ago with full civil rights honored 55-65 years ago. Slavery isn’t responsible for squat, other than many family names, at this point.
About 95% of the people taken during the height of the transatlantic slave trade went to the Caribbean and South America, but somehow, slavery is a uniquely American evil.
Whenever I hear some idiot talking about how slavery held them back, I point out that practically every black immigrant from the Caribbean came from a country where slavery also happened (and more often than not was worse than in the US), yet they come here and succeed just fine. What magic powers do they and Americans of darker pigmentation that succeed in the US have? I mean it isn’t like every honkey in this country is dining o caviar, salmon, Kobe steak, and washing it down with champagne. The vast majority also do very badly (for the same reason most people do badly and can’t get out of the funk).
I remember hearing once that taxis not stopping for young black men is proof of racism. I countered that many cab drivers are from places like Ghana and Haiti. Are they racist too?
That conversation ended with the other person saying “just because it’s true doesn’t mean it isn’t racist.”
How do you respond to that?
I was out drinking one night with my boss at the time, who is a GIGANTIC black dude. He asked me to hail a cab because none of them would stop for him. I would have loved to see the cabbie’s reaction when he got in the car instead of the little white chick.
Anyhoo, I got the impression that the cabbies were more concerned about destination rather than race. I had cabbies refuse to take me to my house at 11th & East Cap in DC back in the day.
Stereotypes exist for a reason. I had the sweetest lady living next to me back in the day and she was black. She would occasionally ask me to help her get things done and I did. She once confided in me that she crossed the road every time she saw a young black man coming her way out of fear but never felt that way about us nice white boys. It freaking floored me. I couldn’t believe she would say or think something like that, but she was dead serious.
You tell them they are idiots that either willingly believe stupid lies or that they are too stupid to actually see they are being lied to? Cause that is what I do.
So about 10-15 years ago there was an excellent History Channel miniseries called “the hippies”. Narrated by Peter Coyote, which is always good. But I digress.
The show essentially blamed hippies for the sad state of affairs for blacks in the US. They claimed black urban families in particular were making great economic and social strides until those filthy hippies moved into black neighborhoods.
Worth a watch if you can find it.
They mean damned dirty hippies like….Peter Coyote?
Yep. And Jerry Garcia’s ex wife was extensively interviewed, along with many hippie icons. I think
Peter Coyote appeared on camera as an interviewee. It was a very good, balanced look at the times.
A higher proportion of black people live in cities and a higher proportion of city dwellers rent. Since owning a home is the biggest chunk of the average American’s net worth, blacks are a larger proportion of those with lower than average net worth.
Oh, forget it.
I’ll QUIET, YOU! myself.
You know who else locked down (((those people)))?
New York Threatens Orthodox Jewish Areas With Lockdown Over Virus
If Trump is the Secret Nazi President, De Blasio is the Overt Nazi Mayor
Honestly in recent memory I can’t think of a politician that more legitimately meets the criteria of openly anti semitic.
Saw that this morning.
You might remember the first time he targeted (((them))).

Poor Joe.
I actually saw a car today with Biden stickers. It’s like a fucking unicorn.
So I took a pic as proof: https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/6aE_inzhSTa6-7MtOsifBA.sK3Ef1dgDtljRyRvRdD9s5
And a tiny lil Biden flag too. ?
I LOLed
I saw an actual Biden lawn sign in rancher country on my way to the Badlands today. Weird.
Completely anecdotal and based on a beer soaked memory but I’ve started to see Biden signs out in the farmlands of north central Ohio where I never saw signs for herself, also the Trump signs while still bigger and bolder aren’t as numerous. That is to say If you have a Trump sign you have ten, and banners, and flags. but fewer people have them than in ’16, when they were everywhere.
I get the impression that this is still big time Trump Country – that was the only Biden sign I have seen. But seemed unusual in the rural areas. Surprised some Trumper hasn’t torn it down (maybe they already did and that’s a replacement sign)
My current tally:
Trump – 80
Biden – 52
At this point half-believe that they know they have no chance at winning an election so are counting on a violent revolution. They will go the vote cheating route, the sue until the end of time route and when both of those fail they will start setting things on fire.
Oh, I think the setting things or fire route will start immediately after the election. The current setting things on fire isn’t really election related, but I’m pretty sure it will be repurposed.
I’m still not ruling out vote fraud delivering a Biden win, BTW. If we assume that the real voting isn’t too far from 2016, I think vote by mail definitely puts a Biden win within the margin of fraud.
I wouldn’t be so sure of that.
I got some unexpected free time this evening. I pedaled almost 300 miles to nowhere on my stationary bike between Monday night and Friday morning. Pace was about 75 miles per day at 12 mph. I’m resting today.
During my static journey, I read a lot and learned many fun facts. Such as:
-The largest single pirate haul was made by Henry Every. He raided a convoy of Mughal ships and swiped a bounty worth nearly $90 million today. His pirate career lasted just 2 years and he is one of the few pirates who escaped with his life and loot.
-Yakuza comes from words meaning 8-9-3, which is the worst hand in a Japanese card gambling game.
-He-Man was supposed to ride a motorcycle, but the necessary machines were on back order, so they hastily repurposed a tiger toy to be his mount.
-the Bluetooth interface is named after a Viking king who unified rival tribes in Denmark
-Studebaker got his start by making wheelbarrows before switching to cars
-The Stanley Hotel featured in The Shining was built by the builder of the Stanley Steamer car
– John Heath founded Phi Beta Kappa because he was denied membership in the Flat Head Club
– Kit Carson found a dime novel featuring himself during a failed attempt to rescue a woman taken captive by Apaches. He was haunted for the rest of his life by the thought that Ann White spent her last days reading tall tales of his heroism.
random thought – I’ve seen and heard in multiple places that Ginsburg is the first woman to lie in state. I thought it was Rosa Parks. Turns out that Parks merely was lain in honor, while being lain in state is reserved for govt officials.
https://history.house.gov/Institution/Lie-In-State/Lie-In-State-Honor/
another random fact: there was never a Twilight Zone episode about a secret society. I guess those are kind of lame compared to devils, aliens, monsters, robots, time travel, etc.
What about one where the cops only protect the evil and actively harass the good. What about one where a new form the common cold causes the whole world to shut down and panic reigns until everyone is flat broke and a second great depression ensues? Nah, That sounds like a bad Stephen King novel.
Cryptid Fairy Tales
Once upon a time, there was an ugly human named STEVE SMITH. All the other children made fun of him and called him names. Every day, he would go to a pond to wash the tears from his face. Years passed. One day, he looked into the pond and saw his reflection. He wasn’t an ugly human at all. He was a beautiful ape. So he went back and raped all the people who made fun of him, and lived happily ever after.
The end.

Executed. In public.

Graphic video of it. You probably don’t want to see it.
More graphic than Budd Dwyer?
In case anyone is unfamiliar, do not watch that.
Guy runs up and starts pulling the trigger….with no round in the chamber. What a genius.
Jeezus christ the guy never saw the reflection? The idiot with the gun had to unsafe it after trying to fire and not getting it to work for at least 10 seconds…
Black on black. Therefore it never happened.
The victim was so intent of buying soap he never noticed the person failing repeatedly trying to kill him? No situational awareness there.
Let’s defund the police.
Well, that narrows it down. Anything that might help further narrow the field of suspects, which appears at this point to be in the hundreds of thousands?
Huh. Waddayaknow.
As do we all.
Wut?
Speaking of dads, my dad has been adjusting his will lately, and his wife said to me “you’re going to get a lot of money”.
WTF kind of thing is that to say to someone’s daughter? She reminds me sooooo much of his mother. Who was a beeeeyotch.
Luckily I had one good grandma (mom’s mom)
You should have said, “I can hardly wait!” just to see her reaction.
Was the subtext that she is getting less?
As the twilight wife, she has her own resources from her late husband. There’s a prenup. My bro and I get pretty much everything except for the current real estate, which she can retain as long as she wants.
I can’t tell you how many people I have seen outsmart themselves when it comes to a will. Nor can I tell you how vicious and conniving people can be when it comes to executing a will.
Lessons I’ve learned by watching others’ mistakes.
1. No mail order brides from Russia.
2. See lesson number 1.
“As the twilight wife”
First time seeing that phrase, I like it.
Is she a vampire or a werewolf?
“His wife”.
Stepmom?
You had better watch that one.
I say “dad’s wife” because they got married when I was 44. Step mom seems like a weird appellation to me.
I felt the same way, since I was grown & married myself when my dad remarried.
My dad’s father got remarried seven months after first wife died, and three months after my parents got married, so second wife was the only Grandma we knew on that side.
Grandpa and both wives were German immigrants, and second wife helped Grandpa immensely when first wife was dying of cancer, doing the sort of household stuff the very German husbands of that time wouldn’t have been able to do. Since second wife was a widow with adult kids of her own, it seemed a sensible thing for them to get married.
“All I ask, is that I get more than you.”
You’ll never be this cool.
That is freaking cool…
?
He almost made totally cool, until I saw that was cran-rasberry he was drinking. Not cool, bro.
BLM announces their extortion intent in Louisville.
https://mobile.twitter.com/BGOnTheScene/status/1309632236518543362
It’s always about extortion with these social justice types….
That’s the only way they can make money.
What I did like was how he pointed out that putting a BLM sign in the window meant shit to him. I was telling my girl in Minneapolis that the idiots putting the BLM signs up on their property in the ritzy part of town hoping this would make these crooks skip their property should the mob decide to go that way were in for one heck of a surprise, because the sign was almost an invitation to the extortionists to come fuck the occupants in the ass. She didn’t like me kicking the houses of cards the usual lib idiots out there live in down.
As I tell every lib that blames Trump (or anyone else but liberal stupidity) for the rioting: it is funny that all these angry people, burning down and destroying things, live right in the most progressive places in the country. You know, places where progressives have been in charge for fucking decades. So either the proggie masters are horribly inept at fixing things, or they have done nothing but pay lip service to the bullshit the left peddles, cause the most inequality and anger is in progtopia.
? Nailed it.
BLM signs.

Our land-line phone (yes, we make a point of keeping one,) which we never pick up unless we recognize the number on the Caller ID, has been ringing off the hook this evening. I count 39 days until the election, so I suspect a connection. Anyone else being bombarded on your phone of choice?
I get text messages from the pols. All the mystery calls I get are various SSA/Refund/Amazon scammers.
This is the IRS calling…
This is the Social Security Department calling…
This is your ex wife calling…
All fucking jokers.
Nope.
Watch the local news for a real taste of the advertising madness.
I make a point of NOT watching local TV news unless there’s a weather warning in effect.
One of the nice things about living in California is near total lack of campaigning.
Same in New York.
Ditto for Hawaii. Since statehood only Nixon 2 and Reagan 2 elections have the GOP picked up the electoral college votes.
Related info point: No Biden signs to be seen but Bernie signs are still visible.
Pick it up and say “Dominos pizza we deliver” or “House of prostitution, we fuck you silly” like I do on my land line..
That thing has provided me with hours of fun and entertainment as I make the life of any caller miserable as a fuck by playing them along.
Just got a text from Jo Jorgensen asking if they can count on my vote.
My reply: ” with Black Lives Matter looting and burning and attacking innocent people and Jo being totally OK with that, HELL NO!”
When I see that Free Cascadia image above, rather than Steve Smith carrying a flag, it looks to me like he is being chased by a crop duster a la Cary Grant in North by Northwest.
So, I just got back from taking my kid to the skatepark. When we left he told me to ride his board to the car. I did and the other kids ( all around 15-17) saw that I could ride it, so they asked me if I could do a kick-flip. I told them that I don’t know what they call a kick-flip, but this was what we called them back in the seventies and I did one. They were amazed and all went on about how they wished they could have skated back in the seventies. My kid felt really good about the whole thing and I didn’t crash and hurt myself, so it all worked out.
Those kids are clearly a bad influence on you 😉
Nah, if they had talked me into doing one of those ollie style flips kids do nowadays, that would have been a bad influence.
