I’m done with my extend sojourn through The Slight Edge. The book has a few more chapters but they aren’t directly relevant to fitness so… back to my ranting.
The last few months my workouts have been very inconsistent. I’m enormously frustrated with myself. I have had weeks of diligence, a week or two of little to no activity, and weeks that were themselves such a mix they were the epitome of mediocrity.
My pullups have really slid into mediocrity. I’m well off my highs but not so far down that I can’t do any. It’s more muddling through. I have never been big (*salutes Lord Humungus*) and have illusions at age 56 that I’ll ever enter whatever the drug-free version of Mr. Olympia is. But damn it, I want some wings.
I have always been envious of the guys who lean over to grab a bar and you can see their lats extending from just below their shoulders well down their torso. I think we all know there is no substitute for pullups if you want to build some lats.
So, looking for a new challenge and way to get those wings, I turned to AthleanX. Of course, Jeff Cavaliere covered this a couple years ago. This video has something for everyone. A guy talking about getting on the pole, beefcake for lady and gay Glibs, and terrific workout advice.
Go get some Glibs.
After a much too long hiatus, MikeS made his triumphant return last week. Of course, the NoDak Wanker missed his shout out. He must have been in a coma.
Chafed- in answer to your question, tweet says Karzai is forming an interim government with some others to try to assert some control over the remaining forces (or just arrange capitulation with the new masters).
Interim committee rather.
Karzai is actually in country? Or is he doing this from Switzerland where his bank account is?

Thanks GL. That is unbelievable. He is either delusional or in league with the Taliban. I guess we will find out which.
Hi Chafed, Thanks for new edition and greetings from NOCal. Hiking weather is a tad smokey and warm; great for brisket. Did the 10 miler that I was gyp’d out on last week; solo. I hike faster alone; not any stops or breaks. I’m a good kind of tired.
Motivation is a muther…when I am in rut, sometimes I just make up a goal. In the past it was an organized run or Spartan race.. wouldn’t want to embarrass myself—that was good for a month or 2. Now I am just happy when the aches and pains are manageable and sometime enjoyable. When you self-inflicted pain it’s empowering; no pain, no gain and you ain’t dead.
G-fit update: Sleep was pretty good but not great. Food was too much non-protein but I stayed OMAD. Hike mileage was level to 38 miles this week. Wim Hoff/meditative “ancient man” techniques; Did 2 times. Weight level at 175. No Fast, but planned for this week (Meatless Monday).
Went to the Car Shows/Auctions in Monterey. Brought the dog in a “service” capacity because I didn’t want to board. Amazing the things you can get away with if you are just cool and act like you belong. The dog even made the NBC telecast. Lots of great/expensive cars and bikes for purchase; there must be a great tax dodge in that somewhere.
Goals: Meeting goal weight range max (175-170). Still not dead from Covid…MB;MC
Afghan Update: I don’t usually comment on foreign affairs but when I do…Anyway, I just fleez that if we had a couple more days/weeks to work the COINtelpro; set up some 5G; get those goat farmers some I-phones, onto more social media and let FB moderate them into democracy; we would have won them over. We were so close…Oh well, we tried (that’s what really counts). Whatever, dollar depreciation/inflations? :shrugs, goes on with the day:
To live better, fat adapt, skip a meal or three!

President Otter.
Just to state the obvious… but if we announced police leaving our most democratic cities; those cities would be run by the gangs in a week…why did we think this was going to be any better.
See, I have it on good authority that those guys were there on Jan. 6th.
Laugh, but I think there is a serious connection here. The DC hysterics about the assault on the temple of democracy is all about realizing how tissue thin their credibility is, and how easily a govt with no credibility can be rolled over.
While last week was dedicated to personal affairs, (appointments, guests) I’m planting a few apple trees, inside the garden fence. Trying to dig a hole, the surface is like concrete, I keep pouring water into the hole so the dirt would stick to the post hole digger. Takes a while to dig the hole, hot, I get tired easily, stumbling around, limping badly.
I was advised by Kinnath to wait ’til the weather cooled off, so the shock would not be so great on the trees but I just need to feel like I’m doing something constructive. I’m about 3-4 lbs down on my weight, this may be my new normal. Appetite is mostly back.
Thanks, Chafed. I need to get back on my exercise program.
You’re a beast, Fourscore!
“I’m planting a few apple trees”
Time never better spent. Those trees will be around long after you and I are gone. I have spent my life making sure of that.
Just turn the hose on a dribble, let it sit for a couple of hours and you will be fine.
Take that goddamned post hole digger and toss it in a dumpster. Get yourself one an auger. Turn slow…a half turn at a time. Slow and steady does the trick.
Slow and steady does the trick.
As with most things in life. Life should be lived like a good hand job.
I still do the strength exercises, but over the last two years have become much more focused on the cardio. I try to get the presses, squats, and deadlifts in a couple times a week – but 30+ minutes on the elliptical every other day is non-negotiable now.
There was an article on Medium Intensity Continuous Training (MICT) that showed to be just as effective as HIIT for muscle strength/stamina–which was surprising…mixing in some weights with the elliptical training. 15 minutes; weights (5 min) then 10 minutes may give you interesting results.
This is the “consent” form they want to force me to sign. Well, it’s the Hawaii version, anyway.
Linky no worky.
It basically says that the vax might kill you and you can’t sue anyone if it does. It says that the drug has not been studied enough to determine any of this. Then, the government says, “Take it or else!”
https://medquest.hawaii.gov/content/dam/formsanddocuments/med-quest/admin/covid-19-vaccination/Vaccine_Consent_and_Release_COVID-19_Moderna_CPESN_FINAL_Form_Fillable.pdf
Pass.
That’s it. Thanks. It’s fine for obtaining consent, but woefully inadequate for removing it. The people forced to vax all have to sign it or it’s local variant. The Los Angeles one is far more weasel worded and the facts are deeply obscured in a series of links.
I wouldn’t sign that.
I read it here- “Thanks for this. Ill print it, and pass it along to my lawyer for review.”
^^ ding ding ding.
Just explain you are giving up your chance so that you can “help” those who want yet another shot…
Biden Administration Plans for Vaccine Boosters, Perhaps by Fall
That was my first tactic. Then my supervisor told me how he cheated and lied to skip to the front of the line and get his early. He recommended we all do this, for our own safety. That’s when I began solidifying my stance that I would not be getting the shot at all. I’ve only gotten more solid on this since.
We ran into a true blue branch covidian at church today. It’s funny how the rhetoric right now is just a tuned up version of last March’s rhetoric, but with some of the gaps stopped up.
“Oh, this one’s different because it targets young people!”
Suuurrrrrrreeee, of course it does. Does it also spread more in red states and among people who believe the election was stolen?
Fucking prog-fascists.
Chafed!
For the first time in weeks, I feel like things are getting back to normal. I decided since the commies rule here, too, that I would get out ahead of the potential mask/vax mandates and/or lockdowns and just set up my own thing.
Tundra’s Gym.
I need to get some bumper plates and some other stuff, but it’s a good start. I was actually shocked to find the setup on FB Marketplace. Last year there was absolutely nothing.
I’ll miss the camaraderie of the gym, but I’m not gonna take another break from lifting.
Nice hike in the mountains yesterday and a little over 6 miles today. I will say that the weather here is absolutely stunning and my red blood cells must be doing their thing, as the altitudes are much more comfortable.
I’m really looking forward to a return to routine. I got a little fluffy during the move, so it’s time to dial it back in.
Have a great week Glibfitters!
Nice set-up.
Seconded.
Wow! You really went Rogue!
The more you lift, the more you save, as in amortization. You’ll be humping those full hive boxes easily.
It’s nice gear and someone else took the depreciation hit.
I’ll have to do the heavy lifting because there is no way Jimbo will tear himself away from the girls long enough to do any actual work!
6 miles with elevation in altitude is a real workout. Resting HR was like 30% higher when I did a Spartan race at The Breck; back in the day.
OT: I have read that Boron my help increase T. I am have been taking it and I have noticed quite a difference in the morning…
Interesting. Any recommended reading on Boron? Morning timber is never a bad thing!
Yeah, I’m feeling better every day. Happy to be lifting again after a couple weeks off completely and probably two months of disrupted schedule.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4712861/
Here is a link from NIH. There are also links for recommended dosages at healthline and other rabbit holes from there. I have seen a number of YTs on it recently in my recommended. I originally started taking it for hand arthritis but the wood was a welcome side effect.
Much obliged.
Hey, congratulations on the move. I think you’re a little too far to invite to concerts now. I have an extra ticket for Billy Strings at The Palace in November, but it’s probably too far for you to drive.
I’ve always wanted to go to Red Rocks, but hard to pull off due to work. Have you been there before? The other venue I really would like to check out is Mishawaka, which I think is outside Fort Collins. It looks like such a cool, small venue. My favorite live video from there:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_F8ly6AZkU
How many CO Glibs do we have now? (Welcome Tundra!!)
I saw Billy Idol at Red Rocks in 1985 (?) I remember….. some of it. Now I avoid that side of the state if at all possible and it usually is.
Hey Pud!
I have no idea what my schedule will be in November, but I’ll ping you when I’m in town.
Never been to Red Rocks for a show, so I’m looking forward to that. Robc is in FC, so you have pals pretty much anywhere you want to see a show.
‘sloper tells me on the wrong side of the state, but I’m gonna go bug him anyway.
You have my cell?
They only beat us because they love us</a.
As Californians express widespread concern about the Delta variant, they overwhelmingly say the state’s recent rise in cases was preventable, had more people gotten vaccinated and taken more precautions.
California’s vaccinated voice a lot of judgment toward the unvaccinated: “They’re putting people like me at risk” is a top way the fully vaccinated pick to describe those who won’t get the shot, with many others outright “upset or angry” with those unwilling to get it. From a policy standpoint, there’s strong support for vaccine mandates, too.
You’re such a disappointment to the grownups.
They don’t want to beat you, but you leave them no choice.
It’s dawning on them that the prick isn’t going to bring back the Old Normal no matter how many people get it.
“It might kill you. Many people are getting heart problems. If any of this happens, nobody will be liable. It also doesn’t work very well.” ” Now, sign here and get it, or else!”
There are tin foil hat types in the comment sections in various places stating the jab makes you more compliant and open to do the state’s bidding; nanobots and such. Refuse the jab? You’re a danger and must be killed.
My wife stabbed me in the heart yesterday, and she does not even realize it.
“I wish you would get the vaccination.”
“Why? It’s highly survivable, even for me. I’d rather have natural immunity without spike proteins anyway.”
“Well, [insert son’s name here] won’t get it unless you do.”
“Ah, I see.”
“Well, [insert son’s name here] won’t get it unless you do.“
“Good.”
LOL, 72% “preventable” vs 28% non-preventable. Because if the 72% had gotten vaxxed, everybody knows the 28% number would stay static, right? It’s not like if we had 100% vaccination rates, the non-preventable would transform into 100% or anything.
Who needs elections when we can just ask Richard Dawson what the survey said? 78% say you should be screwed. Tough titty, said the kitty. Milk’s all gone.
%s are a great tell for BS. This Covid is endemic…maybe a stretch to say certain variants are pandemic but whatever tomato…. This thing ain’t going away and there is nothing that will change that. Best that can be done is to “manage it”. Those now managing are just managing their own self interest. Fauci managing deflection of blame, Joe managing to make it through the day and Gavi managing a voter fraud.
Apologies for the OT
The Long, Slow Drowning of the New Jersey Shore
“Billions have been spent to protect the beachfront. But inch by inch, water is winning the war.”
No shit. I grew up at the NJ shore and still have lots of connections to the various towns through family and friends. In this something like 2,000 word NYT article there is zero mention of this thing called “flood insurance”.
And I’ll wager that the vast majority of these properties are mortgaged which requires flood insurance or businesses with flood insurance. My longstanding solution to this problem of people building where they shouldn’t is you get one “get out of jail free” insurance payout from FedGov. After that the property is no longer eligible for flood insurance even if it is sold.
I’d like to thank all you Glibs for your generous contributions to subsidizing the Jersey Shore. That said for many of you living in “flyover country” I’d like to have word with you about multi peril crop insurance…
Maybe they could built a wall, like a breakwater. Like south of Highlands.
Here we are having the driest summer, after a dry winter, that I can remember. I understand that farther south in MN it’s farming as usual.
FedGov and StateGov do that repeatedly. All kinds of man-made jetties and dredging.
The way the wind and currents work is the sand moves it down the coast and out to sea. Rinse and repeat.
Because erosion never happened until Man came along. ?
Exactly.
That said it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that you shouldn’t build in a place that is easily underwater at least once every 20 to 30 years.
And if you do build you should both create a structure that contemplates that and if it is insured it shouldn’t be done by the government.
I grew up at the beach. Literally spent my first 10 years on the sand. I go back now to the same beach and it’s exactly the same. No difference anywhere, after 45-50 years. They are lying about the ocean rising. Every year, somebody’s house would get flooded. We just changed the carpet and cleaned the furniture. Insurance was for rich people, back then. Our house flooded twice, maybe 6 or 8″ deep.
It’s erosion. On the east coast it is definitely occuring.
I can show you pictures of beaches now, 75 years ago and you can see the drastic changes. 100 of yards of disappearing beaches.
I’m sure there’s plenty of erosion out here too. Any beach that’s populated, gets maintained. There was always a front loader at our beach pushing sand around. That and jetties. keeps the beach exactly the same for decades, at least. Further up the coast, there’s a cliff that keeps moving inland, I’m sure. Albiet, very slowly.
Morbidly, I hope for a new “Little Ice Age”.
So much this. Everyone decides what risks they want to take. If you buy beachfront property, you know or should know, erosion and flooding can occur. I have no sympathy and I completely agree with your take on federal flood insurance. As I recall, Stossel did a video on this a few years ago.
Exactly. Take the money and move somewhere else if you can’t afford to self insure for flood.
Or sell now the and the buyer is able to purchase flood insurance.
Today is the last day of forced isolation thanks to the ‘Rona. No ‘Rona or pneumonia symptoms beyond a lingering cough and I get winded pretty quickly. NH-DHHS never contacted me, which I’m perfectly happy with. I’m certain my doctor sent my information off to them, so I’m on their radar, but I guess they never actually pointed the radar at me.
I mowed the lawn yesterday. Since my mower is a self-propelled job, it’s just a long walk around the yard, though with some up-and-down due to a slope. I was a bit more winded than I should have been, but otherwise was fine.
It’s possible there is a little damage to my lungs from the pneumonia and the consumptive cough.
I talked to the trainer I work with at the gym. I want to get back tomorrow. I told I’ll treat this week like a de-load week: fewer sets and lower weights. He thinks that is a great idea. He’s also curious if I’ll be able to make our sessions later this week. I told him let’s see how tomorrow goes.
Hej DEG, You should look into some YT Wim Hoff or SOMA breathing techniques to get your wind back. Nothing too extreme and cough inducing. It might benefit you. There is probably still some inflamation in the lungs from the ‘Rona.
Glad to hear you’re getting better.
Glad to hear your are on the mend DEG. Stay well.
Excellent news!
Thanks everyone!
Thank you for not killing me!
Seriously, I’m really glad you are better.
?
Me tupe gud
The lass in the feature picture for the article looks a lot like someone that used to work out at my gym. I had to do a double take, and then realized the featured picture lass has no visible tattoos in that picture, so it can’t be the woman I’m thinking of.
Wish I could regain my motivation. I was 175, 12% body fat, benching 295 a few years ago and running 5ks regularly. Now I get winded walking up a flight of stairs, but still weigh the same, just fatter. Multiple docs have said it’s just stress and they’re probably right. I hate sucking wind like this but there’s some sort of huge mental block. I need to make a change, fast.
I hear you Mustang. Ever since the pandemic came on, my motivation has been erratic at best. I have had some longish layoffs during it and it just adds to my stress. FWIW, find a book you find inspiring. It can be, but doesn’t have to be, about fitness. You can always default to St. Goggins. I find that helps me to get in motion.
Back home in the Palomar foothills after a weekend in Imperial Beach seeing friends. And the Pacific of course…
The cat missed me.
Crummy week. It was hot in Seattle, and the air was very smoky. I used it as an excuse to not run all week.
Diet was good. Hi protein/fat, low carb. Except for the cheeseburger and fries on Friday. And the chicken n waffles this morning.
My wife and I got the JnJ vaccination shot on Friday. We were opposed to it, but we were losing business because of it. Money talks. It’s been ok so far besides a sore arm. https://youtu.be/m38EdJeM6dU
I hate everybody and everything and I wish the World would fuck off and leave me alone. https://youtu.be/m38EdJeM6dU
Looks like the weather is going to cool down and the smoke is clearing out. I’ll run this week.
Money talks
Money talks
You both let me down. Money Talks
This is not Saigon. That’s true Tony only because Saigon actually held out longer. Otherwise it is the exact same fate for the exact same reason, the U.S. can’t manufacture legitimacy for the puppet regimes we put in place.
?♂️ what a historically illiterate retard. Remaining US troops? There was a limit of 50 such troops since Paris Peace Accords. It wasn’t unilateral withdrawal by Nixon two years prior.
This is a huge embarrassment for Biden. Blinken can deny it all day long. The pictures speak for themselves.
Chafed, i see you’re beating yourself up for not living up to the standards you’d set for your exercise goals (which are >> my exercise goals, so take this with a grain of salt).
I read something recently about a person trying to kick an addiction or establish a new good habit and they said it was extremely important NOT to beat yourself up about the failure or relapse etc. Therein lies the danger of giving up or thinking you’re not good enough to deserve to get better.
That was helpful to me as a lifelong yo-yo dieter. Fall down? Quit the grovel party / pity party. Onward and upward.
You probably don’t need to hear that but I did.
I actually needed to read this right now too, thanks for the pick-me-up ‘Splosives.
Thanks HS. I did know it but it’s good to hear. Life has been stressful in a number of ways recently and that has bled over into my fitness routine. What is particularly aggravating is I know staying on the routine would help with the stress in other parts of my life.
On the glibfit front I’ve hardly had an alcoholic beverage over the last 3 maybe 4 weeks, and in slight edge fashion dropped about 5 lbs. I’m not particularly happy about going dry, but the weight loss has me going where I want to be.
Nice.
Don’t poke the hornet’s nest, no matter which side you’re on
I used to paint houses. One thing I learned early on is don’t climb up a ladder and poke that giant hornet’s nest. Knock it down at night from a distance and douse it with gasoline when it’s on the ground and the hornets are all asleep.
The war mongers in NOVA will be gleeful to come back… well, they won’t come back, they’ll send your children, and stay there for another 20 years.
I’m not impressed, that’s just one guy running his mouth. Once they get the place secured I bet they get busy not making themselves targets. The jihad stuff is just how the holy rollers talk.
Well, yeah, I know he’s full of shit. But I also know the military industrial complex cronies in NOVA will be chomping at the bit to go right back. Which is why FoxNews talking heads are already saying ‘Oh noes, we have to stay!’. When they should be saying Xiden did good to pull out, but for the wrong reasons. And now, he’s going to get a bunch of people killed by sending them into the hornet’s nest. And then he’ll send them all back to create a hornets nest of their own. Don’t poke that hornet nest.
Yeah, we need to guard against those who want to go back in. The correct tack is it’s good we withdrew but the withdrawal itself was incompetent in the extreme. Biden deserves credit for the former and strong condemnation for the latter.
Exactly this
I lost 3 kilos in the past week. The problem is I started out 55 lbs overweight and now I’m still 48 lbs overweight. The beer has to go, but it’s a bittersweet goodbye my love.
7 pounds is 7 pounds. Good work.
Thanks. If only I can sustain it for a while. That will mean less beer, like none, and at least 2x more walking. I’ve been getting about 2 miles a day, which is lame. I want to add some aerobic, yoga, and some light weights. I think the Yoga is most critical as my flexibility is just gone to hell.
Glibfit Update: my back is still blown out, but I manage some chores and then play Disc, Doctors orders for real. It’ hurts but it keeps me healthy, mind and Body, just played 15 holes, damn it hurts,
Cheers!
I may try a Kayak run tomorrow, from my house, we go 3 miles upstream, then 6 miles down to the Lake Michigan shore, and Sister picks me up. It’s a very casual run, plenty of Photo ops, should take a half day to run, even with a bad back.
Only 2 Weeks to Flatten the Curve!

Thanks BEAM!
Thanks to you both. I’m surprised Canuckistan allows OAN to broadcast.
Oh, I’m sure after The Hair That Walks Like A Man™ gets his new majority government after the just-called Sept. 20th Canadian federal election, His Royal Hairness™ (blessed be His DNA) will erase the last remaining vestiges of independent reporting from any source, anywhere, anytime what/where/whensoever.
The 21st Century is teh suck.
Ugh, he’s still around?!
Do better, Canada.
Is he favored to win?
Sadly, and astonishingly, yes, he’s favoured to win. Like Obama, he’s blessed with crappy opposition parties/leaders, so the choice is between a shit sandwich, a turd taco, or a fæces frittata.
One fly in the ointment: Canadian vote turnout is historically modest (around 60-62%), which doesn’t favour the Libs when it happens. Back when His Royal Hairness was first elected with a majority in 2015 and then a minority in 2019, turnout was higher (closer to 70%). If turnout sags this time around, it could lead to another Lib minority or even a Conservative minority.
I don’t think anyone believes the Cons will win a majority, unless they thread an impossible number of needles in swing ridings in Ontario and Quebec, the only two provinces whose votes normally matter.
Wow. I had no idea. My condolences.
Maxime Bernier!
Yeah, I know, pipe dream.
Good stuff. Thanks for posting.
Good job Ozy! “I wish there was a better way to say it, but this is just illegal” Yup.
That was great.
Thanks for posting. And thanks to Ozy for being out front with this.
Excellent!
Me too! You kind of build up a mental picture of who Glibs are and then they turn out to look nothing like it (but it’s the same personality). Ozy looks more like Gerald McRaney.
Good job not staring at Christina’s bosom, although that jacket helped.
I would have guessed more like Wilford Brimley in “Absence of Malice”.
Damn. Ozzy nailed it.
A true Glibertarian Moment as the Fonz would say.

Honey Harvest will have our own celebrity but you’re still gonna get your hands sticky, like all the rest. The only rule is that there is are no rules.
I thought the first rule of Honey Harvest was “Do not mention Honey Harvest”.
Too late!
I really want to make a Honey Harvest, but it’s 4 days before my annual Musky fishing trip in Mercer, WI. Hopefully I’m not too busy and can make it this year.
Have you ever bought your bees from B and B Honey Farm in Hokah, MN? A guy I used to drink with occasionally worked there.
We have been buying from Mann Lake, in Hackensack, only 50 miles away from home.

I hope it boosts his book sales…so he can give me more money on Patreon.
I will say this, from a production standpoint. They cut to it like it’s a live interview, but it seems like the interview itself was edited, and also they had B-Roll ready to illustrate the points he was making. So I’d be interested to hear from him on the process. Because even though he’s someone we know, this still comes across to me as so much Fake News, manipulation instead of information.
What worse is they didn’t do any sort of introduction. Why should anyone care what this guy is saying? (I know he’s an expert on the topic, but no one watching will)
Dude. HE’S ON TV! That makes him and expert by definition.
Muh legacy!
David Petraeus, the retired Army general and former director of the CIA, has called the Taliban’s tightening grip on Afghanistan “catastrophic” for the U.S. and the world.
Petraeus, who previously served as the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, described the fall of several Afghan cities to the Taliban in recent days as “disastrous.”
“This is an enormous national security setback and it is on the verge of getting much worse unless we decide to take really significant action,” he told The Rita Cosby Show on WABC Radio on Friday.
Petraeus said he had feared a “psychological collapse” months ago because the U.S. withdrawal of troops had prompted the removal of NATO troops along with thousands of contractors who had maintained the Afghan Air Force.
And will anybody have the balls to ask him to his face just what the fuck he claims to have achieved over there? Why weren’t the Afghans prepared for the day the training wheels came off?
I can’t be arsed to look it up. Is he Shrub’s dick sucker, or Zero’s? No need to answer. Don’t give a fuck. Wait a couple more weeks, and airdrop his ass into the mess.
Now, the world’s opium supply will have been grown by mean people, instead of mean, scared people. Whatever will we do?
I thought fentanal had solved the opium problem? Why am I always the last one to get the word?

For sure.
Well, that was 20 years, thousands of lives, and trillions of dollars well-spent.

The wall to wall Afghanistan coverage is an intentional diversion from election revelations.
Hell, this scandal is a distraction from all the other scandals.
I’m grateful it’s getting coverage. I guess it’s harder to sweep under the rug than Hunter’s laptop.
Petraeus said the Taliban’s advances had shown that the decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan was “a serious mistake.”
“We should really take stock of what has happened and acknowledge, I think, that this was a serious mistake, and ask ourselves if having had 3,500 troops on the ground with no battlefield losses for 18 months with a manageable situation was not preferable to the catastrophe that we see unfolding in Afghanistan now,” he said.
Sure, Dave. Why don’t you buy a plane ticket?

Dale Saran is one of the greatest people I have had the pleasure to have known, and I know some Great folks. The Man drove from Phoenix AZ to Bullhead AZ, then Ontario CA, loaded a trailer then wen’t back, in a day. 900miles and loading/unloading. A week later, we did the same thing again, with a bigger trailer. Not only is Ozy a none stop monster, he spoke the entire way out and back, I got a very good education from him and learned about the basis for his book. Agreat teacher, he easliy let me question him, and I wasn’t always wrong. Dale Saran made an impact on me i will never forget,
God Bless him!
Thanks for that, Yusef.
I wonder if this lost corner of the libertarian movement will turn out to be the most valuable asset I’ve ever had. In thinking through what you wrote and the people I’ve met here (both virtually and irl, I trust and can count on You People more than most of the fuckers I know. If things go sideways, I know who I’m betting on.

Thank You Tundra, Being where I am is actually a comfort, I know Glibs are close, and I’ll be at least thought about, if not safe.

Started physio this week for an anterior rotator cuff injury sustained moose hunting last fall. 8 weeks of pain, then I get to do it all over again!
Moose Hunting?

He was hunting the moose, but it was the squirrel that got him.

OK, Boomers.

Who isn’t this admin fucking over?
Themselves? Grocery prices have exploded. Hamburger is 10 lbs a fucking pound here now at the Giant. I’m talking about regular 80-20 ground beef. 10 fucking dollars a fucking pound. All I saw was people wondering the aisles looking like they are in shock with only a few items in their cart.
They want to starve people to death. This inflation combined with CNN fucksticks like Don Lemon saying ‘Can’t go the grocery store’. There’s going to be violence. You can’t go the grocery store, Lemon, not ever again.
A pound of what exactly is exchanged for 10lbs of hamburger?
The dollar collapsed in Maryland and Hyperion is now buying his hamburger in £.
I believe a sterling collapse is imminent, old bean.
A pound of paper money?
$10 a fucking pound. A pound is a unit of weight here in the USSA. Not a unit of currency, like in Limeytown.
Edit faeries are on permanent strike around here, bro.
Glibfit, the hard way.

Been seeing prices like that for awhile here in my little section of the Great White North™. Worse, the prices are oscillating up and down from one week to the next, like a roomful of drunken monkeys hauling on pricing levers at random. It’s weird, and disheartening.
At a guess, I’d say food prices in Edmonton are up between 20 to 30 percent from before the start of Our Present Troubles. Certain categories, like fresh veg, are in some cases double.
Some things here are double. Like most meat. Ground beef is definitely doubled.
I wound up buying pork tenderloin for $1 a lb. Thick as hell, 16oz each.
If you really pay attention to price you can come out OK. I don’t buy any luxury items at all, that is apparently over for at least now.
No wonder Xiden is making a massive increase in food stamps. Can’t boil that frog too fast, the frog might jump off the democrat plantation.
In NYC, canned cat food has doubled (and some brands have tripled) in price since just last Summer. Also, our store no longer carries 5lb or 10lb bags of sugar; they come in 4lb and 8lb sizes now, at a price slightly above the old, larger bags.
I saw Trump (remember that guy?) did another one of his “Miss me yet?” tweets.

“I just got off White House briefing for Congress concerning Afghanistan.
Joe Biden is a FOOL!
* The military equipment and arms were left on purpose for the Afghan military to supposedly defend themselves. But they have handed it all over with no resistance.
* 5,000 prisoners have been released from the base. Known terrorists.
* Our border is wide open and out of control. These terrorists can easily make their way to the US.
* The Taliban is in full control and ISIS is there as well.
* Trump defeated ISIS and Biden is to blame for their imminent rise.
* Turkey and Pakistan are going to soon move in to “stabilize” Afghanistan. ”

How old are you? Do you have any lifting experience? Do you even want to lift? (Although you definitely should.)
I just used to use all the machines at the gym, never the free weights because they were usually occupied by the massive amorphous blobs of zero-muscle definition who would talk about all the fights they started just for fun while they spotted each other. Not that they ever gave me any trouble, mind.
Broaden your search. Yes, there is plenty of stuff on getting huge. There’s also plenty of stuff on all types of fitness.
Stretch your muscles, go for a walk and do some push-ups. Boom! You improved your body and your health without going muscle beach.

Why does an elementary school have a vice principal?
Aside from the content itself, this person is a moron if she couldn’t scrub her past posts in the twelve years since. Shows a disturbing lack of professionalism and judgment.
Unmentioned in the story: Why were all the vice principals 60 or 80 years old when I was forced to go to school? We did not have any 30 y/o chicks in charge of any fucking thing, dammit!
Teachers too.
It carries on very reasonably, and sensibly, giving the reader a sense that this actually might all blow over, until the last line brings you right back to reality:
I wonder how much that will turn things around.
No context given. What if was responding to a question, “What would you do if every teenager was to become a mass murderer?” Or, was it, ” Your kids won’t listen to you and you’re having a bad day” There’s a difference and the TMITE refuses to make it clear if I should be outraged at the V/P or the parents. Given that, I hate them all.
I wonder if her address on the subject will go something like “right now, the wider culture you live in, and some of your parents are turning you into little proto-Jacobins. Let me put that in context for you…”

Note to self: start a contemporary free jazz band called The Five O’clock Shadowy Cabal.
I would wear one of your band’s t-shirts. Could you make sure you carry some in Small, please? Thanks!
Sure. I require a band first.
::shrugs:: I bet Cafepress or redbubble wouldn’t make you prove the band exists.
I used to use redbubble but then they removed my best seller without explanation and demanded I give them all sorts of personal info if I wanted to submit any kind of appeal or at least find out why. Literally no copyright and nothing political or contraversial. I knew I wanted out at that point so I just deleted my account.
*controversial
I wanna buy a t-shirt printer, but I know it’ll get me trouble everywhere I go. I basically use the existing market to self censor.
I hope I can find a safe space to stock up on popcorn and beer to watch China’s turn at this. It’s their turn. USSR: Fail! USSA: Fail! CCP: Uhh, it’s your turn, dudes.
Given the CCP’s lack of compunction about using people like flammable materiel, if they decide to go all-in on Afghanistan, they’ll probably just pattern-bomb whole sections of the country into layers of gas, dust and steam a kilometre deep. Y’know, as practise for when they want to roll over Taiwan. And Japan. Not to mention Singapore. And . . .
I follow a certain US ex-pat Iiving in Taipei and notice that he is making moves to get back to the States.
I had a manager in 1996 who quit to move to Hong Kong.
I wonder how that turned out for her.
Twenty good years? ?♂️
I would have left the second QEII signed their death warrant but maybe that’s just me.
^^^This over and over.
Why anyone would trust the CCP is beyond me.
Though to be fair, I was likely not smart enough back then to see the writing on the wall.
Lots did, despite Britain and other Commonwealth countries attempts to keep as many out as possible. And the US didn’t do squat.
Heh, I said it right after I learned about it, when i was like 12. How do you force China to keep their word once you hand it over?
You can’t.
All the CCP was waiting for was the economic fall out to be small enough to flex their muscle.
It’s easier to mine that Way.
Like I said in the previous post, the only way Afghanistan even becomes something other than what it is now is wholesale genocide of the adversary and their families and associates. The CCP has no issue with murdering millions of people, the real challenge will be rooting out every single person who has even a tangential association to the Taliban/ISIS/whoever the fuck ever.
One unknown is how the Chinese people will react to their own body count. You can’t subdue a country by air. Boots on the ground equals dead Chinese soldiers. Enough wailing, heartbroken mothers will, at some point, make an impact.
One difference between the Afghani and your average citizen of the CCP is Afghanistan has a shit ton of firearms around in civilian hands. Will that make a difference? I don’t know, but it is different than attempting to subdue a few Tibetans.
Also, the USSR was never one to give a squat about the locals and their lives, and they crashed and burned on this rock. About the only thing that hasn’t been done to AFPAK is to nuke it, and I don’t think the Chinese will go that far.
It makes a lot easier when POTUS is on the payroll.
I’m sure the 5-year plan to hook them up to their “Belt and Road” flimflam has already been written.
The CCP doesn’t tek kaaandly to the Sunni muslims in their own backyard but these ones are useful and dangerous. I wonder how the Taliban feel about the treatment of the Uyghurs. I am willing to entertain the possibility that they don’t particularly care.
Yep, that would be my guess. Particularly if the Chinese are bearing gifts.
They already started. I can’t imagine two less trustworthy parties to that contract. While I don’t know how, I’m betting Afghanistan manages to screw China.
They don’t call it the Graveyard of Empires for nothing.

Some other great lats workouts are raking and shoveling.
Raking leaves and hand raking the yard in spring are great lats and delts workouts, especially if you are raking hard and pulling up dead leaves and matted grass. Raking dirt, mulch, and rock are also really good.
Shoveling rock or dirt with a long handled shovel is also a terrific lats and delts exercise. Just do the Cool Hand Luke workout. All you need is a good, strong shovel and about a 20’x20″ section of the yard. Dig a hole, then fill it in. Rinse and repeat. If you want to mix it up, after digging the hole, rake the dirt around then scrape it up to refill the hole.
I’ve been doing landscaping / landscape maintenance for 35 years. You can’t do this kind of work for any extended amount of time without developing really strong back muscles. You know that they say, it takes a strong back and a weak mind to do landscaping for a living. and I possess both.
Can confirm. Spent a good part of today cutting/splitting/stacking firewood. After years in the ‘burbs, my legs, arms and lower back are (slowly) becoming accustomed to rural life again.
Back to choring!
That’s a terrific workout. I love doing that kind of stuff.
I’m in La Crosse, so I occasionally make it to Allamakee County. I’ve probably been in some of the same backwaters where you used to duck hunt or fish. I also go to The Other Place (The OP) for live music on occasion. It probably wasn’t there when you still lived in the area.
When I was in college in Cedar Falls, the first OP had just opened on College Hill. I’ve been there and to a couple of the new OPs when I’ve been back visiting. Good stuff.
My buddies and I used to party in LaCrosse a lot. Back in, oh, probably 1978-1982 or so.
Downtown La Crosse has changed a lot, but it’s still party central. It can be a madhouse some nights. Your new place looks awesome. I could see myself doing something similar when I get older.
I wish I could do those things again. I had to get a big propane tank a few days ago, my 30 years of wood burning are over and I still have about 3 years of wood in the shed. At least I won’t have to go out in -30 weather to fill the wood box. I have a wood splitter that will never get used again, by me. I gave my g-daughter’s husband an almost new Stihl chain saw to take back to Galena.
We have a Toyo oil-burner, so only depend on the wood stove when it’s below 25 or so. But we’ll still go through a cord and a half to two cords a winter.
I expect I’ll get to the point where managing to lay in a winter’s wood is a problem. When that happens, I guess I’ll decide what to do. Although the Old Man cut, split and stacked four cords of wood the last year they lived on Bear Creek, by himself, at 85. But he was way out there on the strong end of the longevity/good health curve.

Take it easy, Yu. Let’s not have a repeat of the Humpty Dumpty you took on the steps.
Is there an evening post? I have something important I would like to share. I received a video ad for a game/app in which you control a crowd of blue people stampeding their way through groups of red people and smashing them to pieces. The key is to keep multiplying your mob of blue people so you can destroy the red people by maintaining a majority. This majority is kept by running through gates which magically increase the number of your blue crowd.
A game about killing the noble savage then.
I don’t think Team Blue considers them noble. Otherwise, yes.

No grilled corn at the church picinic today. I am dissapoint. I specifically didn’t have grilled corn yesterday because I was going to have some today. And also, the music the polka band played at the polka mass wasn’t really polka./sconnie
Now I want to attend a polka mass.
They did play real polka music afterwards during the picnic. They even had a bit of twist, because this time they had woman singing for most of the time, so a song I heard them play last month, ‘My Polish Girlfriend’ was genderswapped to ‘My Polish Boyfriend’
Not the same band, but a version of ‘My Polish Girlfriend’
That’s not very edgy. Disappoint.
When you think Edgy, you think of a Polka Band at a Catholic church picnic, this is true, and they let us down.
Edgy would be drop the gender-swap. Do better, Catholics.

Hell to the yes except for the lady in red. She scares me.
You’re not dancing with her?
I’m pretty sure she would want to lead.
This Afghanistan stuff has kind of fucked me up. I guess in some ways I considered the Afghani people that worked with us, or benefitted from whatever programs our agency ran, to be colleagues on some level. And now they’re fucked.
Your friend that only comes around to borrow money isn’t really a friend.
50 years ago I worked with some fine VN officers, I was heart broken when VN fell and I knew they and their families would suffer re-education.
Agency totally not the Cia. Pinky swear.
I get it. But are you honestly surprised we fucked them over? The US kind of has a rep for that.The people who directly work with nationals in country become friends, the desk monkeys reviewing visa forms and bureaucrats over them don’t give two fucks about those people or they would have gotten them out of there and they would have left with the troops and the “diplomatic” scum.
I’m not surprised.
I’m sorry KK. Thinking about the scrubbing, I can’t imagine similar efforts are being done to Afghan news stories or social media. Terrible for those that thought they could make their country a better place by helping us. Makes me maudlin for those I’ve known who gave much of themselves for there.
I guess I feel bad that those people had the poor luck to be born in a primitive, backwards culture that will likely always be such. And the poor luck to trust an unfeeling imperial power that only wanted to exploit them.

I got off work earlier than expected so I reposted that. Tomorrow is day 1 of Sisson’s 21 days. The one thing the assholes never mentioned in all of the covid hysteria was to get more healthy. Funny how the government arm of big pharma has now inadvertently encouraged me to commit to doing just that because I hate them with the hate of…………I don’t know what.
Good on ya. My Ma discovered she really didn’t the level of BP meds she was on. She was able to stop/decrease them with diet & anxiety-reduction.
heh, one of the BP meds they put me on triggered one of the worst anxiety attacks I’d had in 15 years. The only time I ever asked someone to call an ambulance for me.
Damn, dude. Big Pharma sucks.
Actually, it was Little Pharma, because it was some ingredient in the generic version the pharmacy gave me.
They are fucking evil. I am done. You should have seen all the meds they were handing out to me for my back. “Fuck off, I am not taking that.” Modern Doctors are trained and paid to push pills because that is the model our government has adopted because it is a revolving door between the two groups. I think I would be better off talking to homeless people about what works for pain. Mad Dog and a blunt is probably better for me than the shit they prescribed.
The number of sketchy drugs ending in -ib or -ab and their propensity to maybe help or maybe kill you is not inspiring my confidence in the pharm biz lately.
All pharma does is provide drugs for problems caused by other drugs.
So a steady diet of strait spirits then? Kill the pain and stay low carb. Win win.
Pretty sure my spirit consumption is one of the things that has to be cut so I may not be by normal chipper positive self.
I spent the good part of yesterday afternoon wrestling and playing with two of my kids in a pool. Together, they are short of half my weight and strength, but they attack like rabid hyenas. Damn, what a workout.
Many of my pandemic workout plans slowed down after about 6 months, but the diet changes remained. Been averaging about 1.2 pounds per month loss. Another six of that puts me at my HS graduation weight. Mostly, just cut out sugar, which skewed the rest of the diet towards fat and protein.
Ain’t that the truth. My kid’s eight and he has boundless energy. I’m 55, and I now realize why most people have kids when they are young. He just never slows down.
Because they can’t keep their genitals in their pants?

My ex-wife had another kid just before she turned 40, and she couldn’t believe how much extra work it was at that age.
So you’re saying I should be focusing on younger chicks?
I never let my wife forget about the “Advanced Maternal Age” risk factor that was slapped on during the last pregnancy. 36, you know, ancient.
I remember when 33 was an unusually late age to have a kid (me).
One of my proudest moments was playing with some stranger kids and they were all “my mom’s 24, my mom’s 26” and I shut them up with “my mom’s 41” or whatever.
My mom was, of course, in the room and listening.
When my son was in high school, I was on average 12 years younger than his friends’ parents. Of course, we would always make fun of the “cool dads” together.
My dad was 30 when his youngest of
54 kids was born, and my mom was 29 when the youngest of her45 kids was born.That *is* older for having a kid. People just don’t like reality…
Wifey was 36 for our first and 40 for our second; while I was 40 and 44. My mom was 19 when I was born and that has always terrified me.
I think it’s great to have kids at any age. Just biologically, it’s definitely harder at an advanced age.
I didn’t feel That old until I tweaked my spine changing a diaper (not mine) this morning.

I wonder, not enough to look it up, if Dave is still bitter about being kicked out of Metallica or feels it was kismet and allowed him to flourish with Megadeath.
My guess is a little of both…but I also don’t care enough to look it up.
It was definitely both. He’s on video saying as much.
Megadeth is way over Mettalica, Dave is my Hero, true Metal!
I like Metallica (well, not St. Anger; that was an abomination) but I like Megadeth more.
We are a Metallica household – when my son was two, I had an hour commute to his daycare (at my employer) – Metallica was the only way to calm the savage beast coming and going.
That’s funny. Did the little beast like any other metal?
Nope, unless Joan Jett counts.
Nope. She doesn’t.
I wonder if Joan Jett knows how popular she is with small children. My kid was huge into her and Queen. Now that he’s a bit older, he seems to like harsh 90’s grungy rock. I don’t know why, I never listen to that.

You’re doing well. Most people want to slit their wrists.
I mean Metallica didn’t have a song people liked on the soundtrack for a movie people hate. They had a song people hated on the soundtrack for a movie most people enjoyed.
CRUSH ‘EM!!! Fucking love that song. If Metallica or some other more “mainstream” band had done that song you’d hear it (and it’s preface Enter the Arena) at every single sporting event everywhere.

Now y’all, there ain’t no need to fret about no Taliban. Joe’s sending in his new woke military. When the Taliban see those obese pink and green haired Xes, they will run away into the hills and hide in the cave again. Democracy will once again be restored to Afghanistan. Just you wait and see.

Tucker has some fast talking nobody hawking his book. Wife is under the spell, he just sounds like a used car salesman to me. Talk like a normal person, you fuck.
It’s not the way he talks for me. It’s that concerned look and furrowed brow. He’s totally serial!
Learn how to talk like him and she’ll do anything you want.

Upthread, Gen. Betrayus is quoted as saying the 3,500 U.S. troops in Afghanistan were successfully keeping the lid on things. How, in Galt’s name, did 3,500 troops protect 34 provincial capitals and Kabul? Seems to me that the Taliwackers could have walked right over every capital except Kabul anytime they so desired, given the cowardness of the Afghan army. Obviously, they were just playing a long game and waiting for the U.S. to get tired and pull out. At some point, General, those 3,500 troops would have been decimated when the Tali lost patience.
It was a joke rfrom the opener, we are just stupid, lets Golf until the end,

When people talk about our brilliant military strategists, I want them to remember these days. I want them to remember these days when we talk about the very real China threat and I want them to think about whether or not we are actually prepared. The supposedly brilliant military minds did not see what was painfully apparent to many people about what would happen when we left Afghanistan. Remember that when China starts to go hot. These same brilliant leaders have succumbed to the woke mob and are turning the military into foot soldiers for the new USSA. These same masterminds are going to be forcibly injecting their personnel because some other supposedly brilliant bureaucrat told them to. These are the people running our military, our healthcare industry, and our government. If anyone ever wonders why there’s no trust left, why so many people won’t get vaccinated, or vote for smaller government, point to Afghanistan falling just ten days after the world’s most brilliant leaders, who spent twenty years trying to manage it, left.
You’re so right. But the answer always is that it was just the wrong Top Men.
I think there’s a plausible case to be made that we have the wrong Top. Man. now.
But yeah, the rot goes deep. It’s hard to discern how much of it is engrained and how much comes from Joe.
Top men of the government variety are no better than your worst relative.
Every time I talk to a big government person about an issue he or she knows well they always readily admit that government regularly doesn’t understand the issue and screws up things when it gets involved.
OTH, he or she feel that government is always the solution to other issues and problems of which he or she knows very little.
It’s the big government variation of Gell Mann Amnesia.
That’s really interesting. Thank you for posting that.
Plenty from column A and plenty from column B.
JFC! I get it, We are so fucked,
They should prove equally as effective in imposing vaccine mandates.
Pure humiliation for the neocons except they won’t see it this way. They’ve aligned themselves with the woke brigade and will get cover by the fawning media. Gotta say I feel for the foot soldiers that tried to do what they thought was the right thing.
The obvious lesson here is to never pull out.
You can pull out once the crony and corrupt government you installed is ready to take over security for the entire country. So, yeah, what you said.
Yes. Finish the job.
What was the job?
Whatever it was you were doing before you … pulled out.

On the money.
They’re already going to the Biden let our ally down, now the Taliban are going to come over here and takeover. My wife is buying into it too. Someone who hated the Vietnam war and still thinks it was a grave mistake.
That’s hilarious. I doubt the Taliban can build a boat.
Nah, they’re going to come through our undefended southern border. Probably use some of those underage girls as decoys so they’re released immediately. What’s Pashto for “wolverines”?
LOL.
As if they give a crap. The Taliban couldn’t give a shit of anything that’s happening outside their own little sphere of influence.
“The Taliban couldn’t give a shit of anything that’s happening outside their own little sphere of influence.”
That would be in their best interest.
But it hasn’t stopped the neocons from jumping on the opportunity to start yelling ‘terror attack incoming!’ again. I thought we were just told that only white supremacists are a terror threat?
It’s going to really suck when the dems figure out that the Taliban are white dudes. Nah, they’ll never figure that out, but it won’t stop them from their stupid prognostications.
As much as I agree with you in broad strokes, I don’t think this debacle can be laid at the foot of the woke brigade. The Wokesters have only had real power in DC since Obama and this shit has been going for years before they got well and truly entrenched. This is a case of pure and simple hubris mixed with incompetence. Not saying that’s any better, but saying that this is purely wokitude isn’t completely fair.
That said: this should serve as a lesson to the Top. Men. but it most definitely won’t. The best we can hope for is to move the needle a tiny bit amongst the sheep.
Oh, I don’t blame the wokesters for this. I’m saying the neocons will use their new alliance with them to get the media not to skewer them. But the wokester mob is fickle and may just toss the neocons under the bus. That would be good at least.
I would be delighted if Bill Kristol couldn’t get media beyond a local UHF channel.
I don’t think I said it was due at all to being woke, but military brass has completely succumbed to the woke mob in the past two years. Just highlighting the insanity of believing anything these so-called beacons of knowledge say.
I was reading the latest issue of Army this morning and damn near threw it though the wall.
I’ve come to understand in the last several years how the Cultural Revolution could take over a country. I now see how they can take over the supposedly conservative institutions like the armed forces.
I hope Toby Keith is writing an updated version on “The Taliban Song” right now. If not I expect one from Remy.

Ok, that is a glorious figure. Sculpture worthy.
I’ve just bought tickets for the second semifinal and the final of the WS Open in Cincinnati, OH for the next weekend. It’s 13 hours of driving one way. I guess I should start getting used to driving to places instead of flying.
That’s some dedication right there.
Who knows when will be the last even I can go without a mask or a vaccine passport? Of course, if Medvedev makes it to the final that would be awesome. He looked great today winning the Masters in Toronto.

I can’t even remember the seasons there so well anymore. Well, MI especially. IN I do remember mosquitos and Black flies would eat your ass alive some times of the year. There’s not anything much worse than floating down a river in a canoe and getting attacked by black flies.
Racist!!
Black Flies Matter!
/to be killied
Well, they are vicious little buggers.
I have weapons against the bugs, not perfect but worth using, the cool part is ist’s a lazy river so Upstream is easy, and a cruise downstream,
There’s large sections of the Tippy River in IN like that. Well, most of it actually.
It was usually around small rapids that I’ve been attacked by black flies.
My river In is on my property, wide open and no bugs, upstream is bugs and fishing, downstream is Tourists,,,
I bought my little house and had no idea it was on the Big Manistee, so Bonus!
Yeah, nice bonus. We’ll expect pics of those Walleye.

Graham is scum. He’s always been mealy mouth scum. I’m suspecting he’s made some sort of deal with the dems to let us get back into Afghanistan. In exchange for heaping 4.5 trillion more onto the backs of tax payers. Of course they won’t honor it. Dude is a fucking loser. Is there something in the water in SC?

20 year war? More like 40 year war.
So, serious question. Did Afghans working with the US ever have any intention of defending their country, or did they just see the sweet sweet piles of money being tossed around and decide to get in on that action?
Maybe trying to save their Asses?
If they had watched what happened to the Kurds in Iraq after Gulf One, they probably were wanting to be cautious and play both sides in case the US signed them up for some major risk and then left them high and dry.
I reckon they just wanted to do what was right for themselves, their families, and their tribe—in that order. So they kind of had to half-ass it so they could switch allegiances when needed to make sure they were on the “winning” side.
The few true believers in an open society probably were killed within the first year.
Our government has shown exactly how we treat our friends after we fuck up their lands.
Eh, after 20 years of a free ride, there wasn’t really much else we could do for them, unless you’re saying we should have made it the 51st state.
If my kid was 20, I wouldn’t keep taking care of all his problems for him.
My understanding is Afghan special forces fought well. Regular army not so much. Once US aircover was withdrawn it was an utter collapse of their armed forces.
Apparently the Afghan army hasn’t been paid in months. Or possibly more, along with not get resupplied.

Heh. This is why it’s so hard to tell parody from reality these days.
I thought you made a wry, witty joke.
STFU!
Seriously, STFU already, you fucking assholes.
1. Lockdowns don’t work.
2. Masks don’t work.
3. Vaccines might work but we don’t know( they also might hurt but we don’t know.
Anyone who advocates for 1 and 2 has lost all credibility on 3.
I’m going out on a limb, maybe alone. But I’m going to predict that we:
1. Get irrefutable proof that the vid was genetically enhanced in the Wuhan lab, with the direct aid of US ‘experts’.
2. And leaked from that lab by the CCP with direct help of US ‘experts’.
3. The democrat media engaged in a massive coverup of all of this, that is still going on.
That alone is enough to start holding people accountable for crimes against humanity.

Last night on the Derpbook I saw someone from NY say that they wouldn’t move to Florida because of that governor. Their SIL is in Florida and told them that De Santis is trying to be a dictator. A dictator who refuses to mandate masks, lock things down, or enforce vaccine mandates. What a fucking a tyrant.
And this fucker was, I repeat, living in NY. Under Cuomo.
Good for Florida, no need for more idiots there,

On MySpace you never get that sort of shit. Seriously though, you can’t even argue with a statement like that, it boggles the mind the depths of stupid. At least the people arguing that DeSantis is a grandma killer have some sort of logical train of thought, completely anti liberty and not backed by evidence, but not utterly lacking all reason.
My Space? I thought I was in Nowhere land, yikes!
I kinda have a soft spot for MySpace since they saved me from ever having a Facebook account. I haven’t logged onto that account for over fifteen years, but they did have a pretty good thing going on for music for a while. This place right here is about the only social online stuff I do at all. A call, text or email is good enough to communicate to friends and family for me.
My oldest brother just passed away. he was 71. Wasn’t really … I mean only slightly unexpected.
Condolences. Were you close?
We used to be. But then he sort of went off the deep end…
Sorry for your loss Hyp.
Thanks.
At this point, I’m only used to people dying.
Sorry that happened Hyperion.
Sorry to hear that Hyperion. Even when expected it isn’t. Death isn’t the easiest emotion we experience.
My sympathies for you and your family.
My condolences.

It’s fucking science! I fucking love science!
This is some grade-A nonsensical giberish/derp. The first two paragraphs completely contradict one another. Congress passed an emergency measure to up the allotments for families not receiving the maximum. It didn’t authorize additional payments to those receiving the maximum…it didn’t raise the maximum amount a family could receive. So two courts ruled on this with surprisingly the one in California finding that – shocker – this wasn’t a matter for the courts to decide since the USDA was doing exactly what they were told to do by Congress.
Whereas here we have the PA court legislating from the bench. The cases were appealed, and the 9th Circuit affirmed the decision of the lower court in California.
The USDA under Biden’s control just said fuck-it and much like they do with the EPA and environmental lawsuit, just used it as an excuse to do what they already wanted to do and changed the maximum allotment for families without congressional approval.
And the derp-capper:
I mean, think about this. We’re guaranteed returns of 150%! Why stop at an extra $95 a month? Why not just provide everyone in the country unlimited SNAP benefits. There is no drawback, right?
Picture of the little shit weasel lawyer who wrote that article.
Just… wow.
“Per USDA estimates, every dollar in new SNAP benefits increases GDP by about $1.50, a return on investment of 150 percent.”
Why not 152.3% Or 149.7%
If we’re going to pull numbers out of our ass, let’s add some significant digits.
Wonder how much US military hardware the Taliban are going to wind up taking? Also wonder how much got destroyed just prior?
All of it.
I’m a fucking rube, but I think this is a fuck up of epic proportions.
I read that they are sending flights of B-52’s to take out what was left behind. It won’t be enough.
When we go to the local minor league game Wednesday night, I’ll watch for air traffic around the area AFB…although at this rate, it may be too late by then.
They can knock out everything but so long as the goat-herders get their hands on the explosives, really, what difference does that make at this point?
We stopped being a SAC base so I dont know how many bombers are still over there. Now we’re Materials Command, and the largest civilian employer in the region.
From a SAC base to a base full of ‘sacks.

Well, you could either open fire on your cousin or you might just go along to get along. If you fight then you face certain death, not just for you but for everyone that you hold dear. What the fuck did they think was going to happen?
Milley is the guy who thought he was defending democracy from Nazis when he turned DC into a militarized zone during Biden’s inauguration. And I firmly believe that when he said that shit, he was sincere. Our military is led by self-important fucking morons. Weak political creatures who would be quick to get shitcanned if a major war ever broke out. They’re like Fighting Joe Hooker in the Civil War. Guys who were promoted up the latter because of their bluster and they looked sharp in a uniform while having a good PT score, who thought they were Napoleon because they read all about his campaigns but who absolutely freeze when the real moment of truth comes.
What I really fear is that even if you can this class of general, there really aren’t any Pattons left underneath to take over and fix things these days. Our officer corps is rotten to its fucking core.
So what you are saying is a Corps with a rotting core will lead to corpses?

So I’m watching all this footage from Kabul. I’m noticing all the different firearms in play; there are AK, AKM, SKS, AR, HK, etc. platforms in a dizzying array variations and loadouts. It finally dawned on me – diversity IS our strength. I can haz a jezail, pleeze?
It’s almost like you can own a gun in Kabul.
It must be really confusing to get the right ammunition.
Weight down 3lbs again. Grrrr. Better diet, perhaps? I just can’t reach my goal weight during the Summer months. Disappointing. Mornin’ y’all!
Top ‘o the morning to you, old chap. The weather is nice enough to open the house for the first time in a week or so, 69°F with a strong breeze coming in from the Atlantic. Sea breeze means Mother Nature works with my house fans to keep air flowing in through the living room and out of the kitchen windows. Bay breeze means the cooking and litterbox aromas from the kitchen get blown through the rest of the house. Also, Jamaica Bay has hundreds of wee hammocky islands populated by biting horseflies; Bay breeze sends them all to our peninsula.
Ugh. Horseflies. Better than blackflies, though. I’ve been to places where you don’t swat them, you wipe them. Duct-taped wrists and ankles and self poisoning with DEET. Those fuckers would come back out after there was snow on the ground if the air temp rose far enough.
Horse flies I knew as a kid. Every now and then one would bite you. Black flies will just swarm you and torment the hell out of you.
12 years total doing bush-work. I can’t abide even a single biting pest in my home. I will find it and then I will finish it.
Yeah, I can’t stand no bugs.
We called them greenheads.
They’re sight hunters, which is pretty hilarious when your kids have never seen one and the bugs start audibly smacking the minivan windows trying to get at them.
What’s a Leppo?

Good Morning All:
Its got to be an interesting day when Democratic Underground is calling for the dismissal of Biden’s advisors.
LOL. DU is just upset that the shitshow is delegitimizing everything else they want Biden to do.
I see this as a plus in slowing the corrupt old fucker down.
Good morning, robo! Interesting, yes – in a Chinese curse kind o’ way.
Hey Red! This is a kill shot for doddering Joe.
Even the tame media is calling him out.
Afghanistan was going to fall. The objective was to not have it totally collapse before we were even gone.
Utter incompetence
But on the bright side, it provides a fresh set of images of how our overseas military adventures ultimately turn out. Maybe, just maybe we’ll get a few more principled anti-war people out of this.
I’m seeing a great deal of FedGov/pundit class handwringing about the need to find out “what went wrong”. I’m not seeing any footage or evidence of ground combat. While also hearing tales of deals between the Taliban and ANA commanders at the battalion level that were struck several weeks ago. I’m quite sure I was not the only one pointing out, back in 2001, that this was the inevitable end-state of the whole debacle.
Shut the fuck up you deplorable smarty-pants!
“just maybe we’ll get a few more principled anti-war people out of this.”
You mean besides Paul and Massie? I dunno, I fear not.
Graham wants to bomb some sheep farmers and Cocaine Mitch just wants to screw us all over and slip out the back door.
I’m trying to be an optimist. The week has just begun, there’s still plenty of time to destroy my rosy outlook.
Phrasing?
I think that I was a glass half full kind of guy for a very long time. These days, it’s hard to find much optimism at all.
#metoo *drops trou and assumes the position* They just called yet another election up here. Who doesn’t want Bhangra Justin to consolidate power?
Mornin’, all.
Lots of good news today, I see. Bombs away, mask up or die, seems familiar. The best is yet to come; unless a natural disaster comes along, our rulers need a distraction from the current shitshow and the sudden chatter about “increased terror threats” is concerning.
And back to work today, where I will be getting my performance review, after sorting through a week’s worth of e-mails.
WTF am I whining about? I have a job (unlike many, thanks to the panic), no recent deaths in the family (sorry about your brother, Hyp), reasonably good health for an old fart. All of that can change in a heartbeat, but I plan to enjoy today until tomorrow.
I’m just so very tired of it all.

I was scolded as I was entering a taqueria yesterday, and it soured me so much, I explained to the hostess they cost themselves a rather large to-go order and went to a new Cuban joint. It wasn’t even over masking… Some guy, a manager apparently, saw me put my vape battery into my pocket as I walked inside. He buttonholed me, actually putting his hand on my shoulder, to warn me “You’re not allowed to vape in here.” Sigh…
