Good morning my Glibs and Gliberinas! And outside of sliding through a massive pool of dog piss, what a beautiful morning it is!
Lightfoot, Lightfoot, Lightfoot!
Intel agencies believe that China will retaliate for closing the Houston Chinese consulate.
Progressives push to bailout the most privileged.

Huh, it’s almost like all the rioting and looting in big cities affected gun sales.

Walmart to close stores this Thanksgiving.
That’s all I got for today. I’ll leave you with a song and try to get dog piss out of my brand new slippers.
China is assoe! First!
At least we are finally admitting it is and cock blocking them instead of just taking it in the ass.
And their logo is a big “W.” Which is nice, since their fans haven’t seen many of those in recent years.
Mornin’, Banjos.

It should be a an ‘L’.
Fuck them and everyone else involved with this shitshow.
The NFL really seems determined to alienate their fan base. And last night MLB joined the BLM political bullshit bandwagon.
Not for nothing, but MLS was there weeks ago. You are all but required to shill for Black Lives Matter – for players, before the game; for staff, at all times. It may even be a hard requirement – it’s not like anyone is going to dare to object so it’s impossible to know for sure.
Comply or else…
Cancel culture sucks…
A big “W” followed by a big “T” and “F”.
You know that’s what the t-shirts sold outside the stadium will say.
Mornin’ Banjos.

Shut it down. Shut it all down.
Cancel debt. In a high-debt environment. When the economy is on its knees. With part of it still in lockdown.
What can go wrong?
Well it won’t really be cancelled. It’ll just get added onto the Federal Debt. I mean, there’s still checks in the book, so we aren’t out of money yet.
So who’s ready for Weimar marks?
Is it bad that I’m thinking of converting most of my cash reserves to gold?
I’m going to have egg on my face when they cancel the student debt that I worked my ass off to pay off. I won’t make that mistake twice.
I want a refund on my loan payments if they cancel the laofers’ debts.
This, so much this. I was so happy when the 10 years passed and my payments were finally done. What a sucker I was I guess.
Here’s what will happen: the worthless, cuckservative Republican Party will fight for a grand compromise where student debt is forgiven only for people in “public service”. Thus the millions of government parasites and the nonprofits will get their debt forgiven, and all you stupid fucking morons who actually produce value to keep those people alive will get fucked over, again.
They will pat themselves on the back, and send fundraising emails about how they “hammered out a serious compromise that preserved fiscal discipline.” Shortly thereafter, ground beef will hit 9 dollars a pound, before being banned by the moderate and sensible Joe Biden because its racist.
Why stop at student loans? Lets bring all debt back to zero!
No, dammit, you’re not going to cheapen my achievements at fiscal responsibility by caving to commie crud.
Meh. The debts all going to inflate away anyways. I’m waiting for the big banks to start pushing to be able to up loan principals by “something reasonable” such as 50% of the official rate of inflation.
Meh, when I took out student loans 20 years ago I already anticipated the bail outs. Hence why I haven’t paid a red cent yet. I’m no fool.
I thought I was being nice to my grand kids, maybe duped again. At least I feel like it was the right thing to do (and it was).
As I sit here, I’m looking at an 8-point buck out my window.
No rifle?
Why would a deer need a rifle?
Isn’t that how Deer Hunting works? Or do deer use snares?
The same reason an elephant needs my pajamas.
Arrows are quieter – if that’s an issue
I don’t think my neighbors would appreciate that too much. And besides, I don’t really feel like gutting a deer at 0630 on a workday.
Invite them over, have them help clean and share the venison.
I know, your fetish is to do it at lunch break while making everyone watch, but that’s kind of gross TBH.

Today is trash up day. I just got finished picking up all the trash a bear spread around the yard.
How do you like your new rug?
Didn’t see Yogi this time. And I still live in NJ and want to remain a semi-free man until I escape.
When the game warden comes around, just say the bear seemed distraught and was muttering something about “the Clintons.”
Still in velvet, I assume.
I’m trying really hard to give a shit about the NFL self-immolating, but I just can’t.
It sucked even before it became uberwoke.
Without fake tribal violence (aka sports), we may be left with real tribal violence soon.
Can we import the ancient game of the Afghanis?
Is it me or is the internal mettle of modern athletes weak?
I’m convinced if you pit Orr, Lafleur, Howe, Harvey, Esposito against any big five today in the NHL for example they’d win because of their mental toughness.
Guy Lafleur had no one to protect him and took on the Bruins and Flyers of the 70s DEAD ON.
Today’s athlete is a ballerina next to them. Starting with Lebron. That’s why I take Jordan over him. Any day. Guys who only see ‘WIN AT ALL COST’ are hard to play against.
Just a generalized statement.
And Pete Rose. Give me a team made up of assholes like that. You can’t teach that shit.
I still prefer talent – I was one of this finesse guys – but man I admired those psychos. I hated them then but appreciate it more now.
I stopped watching right when the Mike Brown shitshow was happening. It was a combo of the players protesting on the field instead of in the streets and the fact that the Rams were leaving St. Louis that was the final straw.
Holy shit, Newsweek published *another* reasonable article.

“Why has hydroxychloroquine been disregarded?”
Orange Man Bad.
/slap!
It’s cheap and generic – who’s going to get rich off of that?
Yeah this has been another place where I lament the Old Left. The Old Left would have instantly seen this is a transparent attempt to give a giant coporation a sweetheart deal. They would have screamed it from the rooftops.
This, over and over. I’m a layman and it was obvious to me.
And the key to hydrochloroquine working is to also take it with zinc supplements. All the much-publicized studies showing it not having much effect didn’t include zinc. Funny, that.
Also, no mention by anyone in medicine that there’s never been so much effort by researchers before to prove a drug *doesn’t work* than for any other medication. You’d think these researchers are more interested in scoring political points than true science. Nah, can’t be.
That story linked me to this survey
Why does it make me nervous to read a question like that? The I Fucking Love Science crowd is prepping the “discussion” for why we need to lock up pesky people.

86% of Americans support masks.
I guess the balance of the 14% are here?
I notice a new word is popping up to described the 14%: Recalcitrant.
It’s actually a scary word and Sullum used it at Reason.
Corona viruses range in size from .02 microns to .5 microns.
Except the highest rated masks, which need to be changed every 30 minutes, masks are useless.
You know that. I know that. We know that. Hence, the 14%. We’re the minority.
‘Follow the science’ my ass.
One key name that’s pimping this is an obscure computer scientist named Jeremy Howard. He’s to the Coronavirus hysteria what Algore is to climate change.
He helped to develop the Internet too!
The idea isn’t to stop the virus. It’s to stop the medium containing the virus. Another fun fact — once the particle gets small enough, it’s not being stopped by the pores being too small, it’ll actually Van Der Waals to the filter.
It’s fine to question what you’re being ordered to do, but using bogus “facts” to justify it puts you in the same category as unconscious bias hucksters.
And several reputable studies have shown they don’t work or at least are inconclusive.
The ‘idea’ has little or no support from science.

I looked at a dozen studies last week. As you say, inconclusive at best.
When Faucci let it slip that masks only provide psychological protection he was correct.
“Recalcitrant” has been my nickname since birth.
…and in high school…
/assuming facts/…
Funny you’d say that but it has been my life’s journey. I don’t ever go looking for a fight but if someone tries to force me to do something I will just close the clam shell and brook no argument. I’ll be a treat in the old folks home.

One of my best moments ever was arguing guns with a prog. I stole the line from someone else, but proggie gave me the setup and I spiked it .

“We did. Who let you in?”
Nice!
This guy understands the masks perfectly – dehumanization.
I have proven my humanity to wordpress.Yippeee!
Ok Tulpa.
what a beautiful morning it is
Not when my AC is broken and the guy might not be able to get to it until Monday.
What’s wrong? I might be able to help
Blowing but not cold. Shoulda checked the breaker before leaving this morning (occurred to me right when I got to work). Called someone to schedule an inspection just in case.
The cats were all sprawled out on the hardwood like they are miserable. Spoiled. I should make them watch Sara Mclaughlin SPCA commercials so they know how good they have it.
80 degree weather while day temps flirted with the 100s
Welcome to Virginia right now. It didn’t get below 83 in the house last night even though the outside got to 75. Thanks, insulation.
Cats like it hot FWIW
Yerp. Evolved in the desert.
Sometimes, not always.
I had mine break down 4 years ago during a record setting heat week. I got a window unit in for my kid but roughed it out. Waiting 6 days and sleeping in 80 degree weather while day temps flirted with the 100s, sucked, but I was used to it by the time my A/C was back in business. Not gonna want to do that again, man, and I feel your pain…
Mine is set to 83 degrees, and it’s 110 pretty much every day,
Rebel, you have a Blown Capacitor in your outside unit, 200$ fix, plus a cleaning,
Run your A/C units fan, and circulate your air at least
Yeah, that’s the thing. I set mine to 71 at night (I shut it off during the day, even when home, because I am in my basement working). I like it cool so whatever female that shares my bed feels she needs body heat, and comes closer…
This is what I see every time I watch Lori Lightfoot. We have one in the tank.
You see the same page?
Canadians, amirite ?
I tried and failed to link a photo of a a black molly goldfish. You’ll have to enact your own labor, Comrade.
As the Wall Street Journal explains, this proposal “wouldn’t make [student loan] debt disappear. It would merely transfer it to the federal debt… and stick taxpayers with the tab.”
The Wall Street Journal is nothing but an in house newsletter for the patriarchy. Nobody wise or important cares what they think.
President Trump called Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Wednesday evening to confirm his plans to send 200 federal agents to the city to combat “a rampage of violence.”
Maybe a miscalculation on Trump’s part unless they are just there to protect federal property like in Portland. Chicago has police so Chicago should deal with Chicago’s problems.
He should have made her beg in public, at least.
There are a lot of Federal buildings in Downtown Chicago… Court, Fed Reserve, etc. In some $$$ areas too (The Fed is across the street from the Union League Club, for example). Can’t let the money machine get hurt…
I got to work this morning and checked me email before coffee. Because of that last bit, I filled out an evaluation form for yesterday’s lecture… honestly. I might have used the words “antithetical to the data-driven culture we’ve spent the last decade building” and “will our customers accept grassroots praxis in lieu of functioning die,” and “how is a poet from MTV going to help us compete with TSMC?”
Oh well, I did enjoy this job but it’s probably time to move on.
You’re a pirate who works with someone from MTV?
Oi! Aussies are people too!
Fake news.
It’s not fake, just upside-down.
Where is IFH anyway?

Well, resume updating is a skill, and needs practice, even if you skate past this incident.
Good luck.
I’ve ignored all the latest woke-ry from my company. I have one foot out the door anyways.

https://www.insidehook.com/article/booze/state-of-the-ipa
I’m not a fan of IPA but why is it a target?
I am a fan, but it is overdone. Back 5 years ago, my IPA was named “Obligatory IPA” for that very reason.
When I was interviewing distributors, I mentioned to one that while I would make an IPA, it wasn’t my emphasis. I think I said I could make a very good one, but there would still be 100 different IPAs better than mine. On the other hand, I would put my hefeweizen up against anyones (except Weihenstephaner). The President (I was on a conference call) told me “Would you please explain that to my sales staff?”
The backlash against IPA is because it is so successful. To the point that I struggle to find things on the shelf to buy sometimes.
Ah.
Weihenstephaner is a favourite for me.
They have had 700 years to get the recipe down.
Yep.
I’m not a fan of the IPA, all of them are too hoppy.
Traditional English style IPAs are better balanced and use different hops. If you haven’t give a Samuel Smith IPA a try.
There’s also some backlash because some breweries just brew mediocre ones, and expect them to sell. Or the breweries don’t put freshness dates (either enjoy by or made on) on their packaging, and IPA does not hold up well (except for very few specific examples).
I thought the whole reason the IPA was overhopped was to increase the shelf life on the ship to India.
Sure, several hundred years ago. The styles have evolved a bit since then. Hops help prevent spoilage by bacteria, but it doesn’t prevent the beer from going stale. Additionally, one of the points of American IPA is fresh hop characteristics, which drop off quickly.
Originally, yes. And not just IPA.
But if you want the hop kick-in-the-teeth, it has to be enjoyed soon. The beer will last a long time. It just wont taste like it does straight out of the barrel. That was the original point, but the Brits discovered they liked it unaged. Also, they hopped the bejesus out of everything that they didnt underhop.
But Hops are the worst taste in the beer.
THINGS THAT ARE WRONG.
Do I win the pyramid?
Nope.
The category was “Universal Truths”
When all you have is hops and alcohol to prevent spoilage, you use what you can.
Yeah, this.
I went to a beer festival a couple years ago where the breweries each brought four of their beers, and at least half of them just brought four different IPAs. Most of the rest still had 2 or 3 IPAs.
Great Taste of the Midwest has a lot of IPAs, at least last time I was there in 2013, but lots and lots of other interesting things.
I haven’t been to a lot of beer festivals, but if there is a better one, I don’t believe it (at least single day).
5 hrs, unlimited pours, more brewers and beers than you could possibly hit. I still think it should be a glibs meetup some year. We used to go up on Thursday, have a casual dinner that night, check out Madison in the day on Friday, hit all the pre-fest specialty events on Friday night (ie bar hopping/pre-gaming), eat a greasy burger Sat lunch, then catch the shuttle bus to the festival. Recover Saturday night, drive home on Sunday.
Wut?
Imperial IPA’s are hopped at a higher then average rate and brewed to a higher ABV. Session IPA’s used to be referred to as American Pale Ales, and are just a lower ABV IPA with a lower hopping rate. Milkshake IPA’s are brewed to be on the sweeter side with lactose (unfermentable milk sugar) and sometimes fruit puree added.
Yeah, but they all taste like someone smashed a fistful of dandelions in your mouth.
What about Imperial Session IPAs?
More seriously,
My impression is that Session IPAs are lower alcohol but still high hops (hoppier than a regular Pale Ale, anyways), but maybe that’s just the ones I get on the West Coast?
Probably not. Even the short lived trendy styles (IPL, Black IPA, Barrel Aged IPA, etc.) there are still examples around.
/looks at IPA mixed pack from Flying Dog in the fridge
When I was doing some pretesting of my hefeweizen before I went into business, I blind tasted mine against two commercial examples….Sierra Nevada kellerweis to have a top notch example and Flying Dog’s to have a mediocre example.
My tasting group tested 4 beers, what they didn’t know was that two of them were mine…same batch. That was to filter out, for example, the guy who had my beer 1st and 4th in the group. His tasting could be safely ignored (He also was the only person with Flying Dog above SN).
On average, I scored slightly better than SN are significantly better than FD.
Would have love to have tried some. I’ve still got the recipe saved, but my homebrewing has stepped down a lot over the past several months.
Did you have any correctly say that two of the samples were the same beer?
No one guessed that. I told them up front I had 4 beers for them to taste and 1 was mine, I think they believed me. AI few said they had trouble ranking them, as they were similar.
And some thought both of mine were good but one was clearly better than the other.
You can have my Bell’s Two Hearted Ale when you pry it from my cold dead hops-stained hands.
^^^THIS^^^
Other IPAs, sure, whatever.
I’ve rapidly lost my taste for IPAs; they (almost) all present as too sour for my palate. Odd, it used to be my favorite style; now I have trouble finishing one. The only one i still drink regularly is my beloved Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA. At 14% – 20% ABV, they’re a one and done beer though. Give me a good stout or porter any day. Also, I echo the sentiment of robc, IPAs tend to dominate the selection at my local beer jobbers; to the point of being unable to find stouts that I’ve never tried.
Ipa’s are a giant joke by an influential hipster to see how many of his friends he could dupe into drinking that disgusting swill. Double IPA’s are when he took the joke too far.
Like UCS, you are just wrong.
Sorry, robc, but you’ve grown too accustomed to wrongness. All the hops must have burned off your tastebuds.
As someone that hates hops and hates IPAs, I have to say I am tired of all the people bitching about IPAs.
Drink what you like. Don’t whine about things other people like.
Where’s the fun in that?
Fuck it. I’m drunkish and sick of flailing about. Dumbest Glib confirmed. Mornin’ Banjos!

If Americans are foolish enough to hand the Senate, House and Executive to the DNC….it’s OVER.
Not just foolish voters, you really can’t discount the ability of the Dems to commit enough fraud in the swing states to steal elections, especially with fraud-by-mail in place.
This is why we need to Save the Post Office! For those sweet, sweet, mail in ballots.
Just remember friend, voter fraud is a myth. Stay at home, and you’ll be safe. Venture outside without your mark, and you will be punished.
China is asshole.
Question: Is their army as strong as the Soviet Union was?
I get the impression it’s crap more or less. China has a cash leverage more than they do military. Meaning, can they really invade countries Soviet style if they chose to? Can they handle a war with, say, India? They seem to be tempting fate annoying India with skirmishes and the United States.
I don’t know if “Human wave” tactics work as well in an inter-continental war. China lacks the capacity to slap that mosquito Taiwan with conventional methods.
I don’t think it is, honestly. Especially when you look at geography and logistics. The thing with the Soviet Union was that it was in fact a Union. They could, and did, have layers and layers of air defense throughout Eastern Europe, and could use the rail net to move troops and supplies right up to the inner German border.
You can’t invade Taiwan, Japan, the Phillipines without a real Navy, which they don’t have and can’t get because a Navy is not ships, it’s sailors and they don’t really have them. I said it a while back here, if the Chinese want to sail out into the deep blue water and tangle with a Japanese fleet operating in defense of the home islands, then I wish them the joy of that endeavor. The boys that fly the Hinomaru have not forgotten how to fight at sea.
This is not a final renaming and rebranding for the team; this is the name it wants to use until the adoption of a new name at some point.
I really hope this is an elaborate troll. Doesn’t the owner have “fuck you” money?
Snyder doesn’t have the balls that Cooke did.
He’s a sports team owner. Having “fuck you” money is a prerequisite for joining that club. And yes, he has three commas in his bank account.
In one way, seeing Dan Snyder become a self-made billionaire in his mid-30s serves as a reminder that anyone can make it big in America given enough drive and ambition. OTOH, dude’s probably the most hated guy in Washington not named Donald Trump.
So, it might surprise you to hear that in the middle of a pandemic decimating minority communities and the working class, Pressley and Omar are demanding a big government bailout for a well-off segment of society.
Why would this be surprising? It is no different from massive bailouts of the well-connected financial institutions which were collapsing in 2008. Or the bailouts of beachfront property owners after a storm. Reaping massive benefits (profits, prime real estate) in good times, then collectivizing the consequences.

Which would seem to indicate a lot of conservatives/centrists, because the left has nothing to fear in that regard.
Mornin’ Banjos!
IIRC, the number was 77% for Republicans ~55% for independents and ~40% for democrats.
Further proof that a lot of Democrats are irrational and have only a tenuous grip on reality.
I wonder how many of that 40% is a lifelong loyal Democrat voter afraid to piss off a wokester. My mother styles herself an independent because she voted for Gerald Ford but that’s the only Republican she’s ever voted for. She was a reporter, an editor, and now is in academia. Absolute fucking uber prog. Thinks Hillary Clinton is wonderful. But she has to bite her tongue at work on the trans thing, because that’s like the new cutting edge of wokeness in academia.
I have noticed conservative friends being a bit bolder on Facebook lately. Everyone seems to think it’s a stupid soapbox, but more liberal/progressive friends regularly espouse their beliefs. I make libertarian jokes and people pretty much leave me alone.

Far less common is the belief that vampires live among us. Only 13 percent of Americans say that vampires definitely or probably exist.

They do exist. They’re called bureaucrats.
Of course vampires exist. We keep electing them to office.

If you disagree with me on anything you are a Nazi and deserve to be unpersoned.
This was already the case in 2016, which might be why the polls were useless then (and now). One of my old college acquaintances (a director at Brookings) unfriended me on FB when I opined that DJT might have a better chance than the polls indicated. No great loss there.
I had someone unfriend me in 2009 when I suggested that maybe the government should not be defining “marriage” and should just treat it like a contract. There have been others since then. But I stopped going on FB a couple years ago.
I’ m pretty much done with it. Down to immediate family and a very few close friends, and avoid politics like the plague.
I had an old friend drop me from her life completely back in 2014 or so because I said I wasn’t going to boycott Chick-Fil-A.
“director at Brookings”
I remember a few years back the meme was the Right had an epistemic closure problem. Which was always ludicrous, because if you read the WaPo and the NYT you’re handed a blizzard of left of center opinion, ranging from Fake Republican to Communist. But you could read 6 newspapers a day, 7 magazines a month, and watch 2 hours of news channels a day and never hear a take that was to the right of John Kasich.
You’d be afraid to share them to if your political views consisted of Hat and the Hair cartoons.
“It has been well known inside the industry that purchasers of guns and ammunition have long had diverse demographic backgrounds,” the NSSF said in a statement on the survey. “The highest overall firearm sales increase comes from black men and women who show a 58.2 percent increase in purchases during the first six months of 2020 versus the same period last year.”
Democrats are horrified that the darkies are exercising their rights. Pretty soon they will leave the plantation and *gasp* start voting for people that treat them like adults.
Well, that’s why they constantly shriek “RACIST” at Trump and the Republicans, despite any evidence of racism, because they need to keep black people from voting Republican. It’s just sad that the tactic still seems to work.
All the blacks will vote for Kanye, because/someone who thinks they aren’t racist
A credit to her race
The 55-year-old is a veteran of the past two Democratic administrations, serving in policymaking positions and as a top adviser. But she has never held or even run for elective office, so her reported inclusion on Biden’s shortlist has surprised many.
But after the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor at the hands of police in Minneapolis and Louisville, Ky., respectively, and the subsequent protests in cities across the U.S., pressure has built for Biden to name an African American woman to the presidential ticket. In that context, Rice’s potential selection became more serious.
———
Rice grew up in Washington, D.C. After college at Stanford University, she studied at Oxford University as a Rhodes scholar. During the Clinton administration, Rice worked on the National Security Council and at the State Department, eventually becoming assistant secretary of state for African affairs.
Bigger jobs followed during the Obama years, when she served as ambassador to the United Nations and then as national security adviser. It was during the Obama years that she also got to know then-Vice President Biden well.
She understands the pain and struggle of the black community almost as well as Kamala Harris.
Trump should boot Pence and pick Condaleeza to counter the Rice advantage.

The night before, small groups of white protesters aligned with Black Lives Matter had thrown water bottles at the federal court building, shot fireworks at the front doors and tried to shake the fence loose.
“A lot of the people who are doing it are not Black. They throw shit and start shit and run away and yell ‘Black Lives Matter,’ and then go home and take off their clothes. But I can’t take off my black,” Phillips said. “And the more damage they do to this building— well, everyone thinks it’s people of color doing all this and it’s not. “
——-
Ellayna Morris, a 35-year-old white college professor and protester, said some were content to march peacefully, while others prefer to take more direct action. She said it wasn’t her place to tell others how to express themselves.
“Black people are tired of dying in the streets,” said Morris.
How will the black community survive without the help and guidance of white progressives?
“Black people are tired of dying in the streets,” said Morris.
To be fair, the dead ones probably don’t care much anymore.
“And the more damage they do to this building— well, everyone thinks it’s people of color doing all this and it’s not
No, I was always pretty sure it was Communists
But I can’t take off my black

Black people are tired of dying in the streets
Stop killing each other.
Smashing heads with bike locks is just a form of expression.

College professor — community college instructor
Beat me to it.
So she’s a community college instructor, not a professor.
Different species, same genera.
They throw the most entertaining hissy fits when you say “you’re not a prof, you’re a lecturer.”
“OK adjunct” also yields good results.
I found the Full Profs to be the most petty, vile, and insignificant creatures in academia. You only ever learned anything if the instructor was an adjunct who was doing teaching as a second job on top of one in the industry.
That says something either about NY schools or perhaps your major. In Chemistry, profs are the ones that are doing actual research and have actually interesting things to teach you.
Come to think of it, I don’t know that I ever had an adjunct. That role in teaching was filled by grad students.
Which isn’t to say that they profs weren’t also petty and vile, just that they were useful.
I got a computing degree, Industry was doing all the advancements, the academics were those who couldn’t get hired.
Gah! That’s like insects in the wild that display bright colors to warn predators away.
“small groups of white protesters aligned with Black Lives Matter had thrown water bottles at the federal court building, shot fireworks at the front doors and tried to shake the fence loose”
What a massively misleading description that is.
In other words, it’s proceeding exactly as BLM intended.
““Black people are tired of dying in the streets,” said Morris”
They should really stop killing one another.
“That’s a really problematic statement!” she explained whilst pushing her black-framed glasses further up the bridge of her pimply, greasy nose and taking a huge breath to scream at the sky.
Mrs. McGinty – “do you have anything you would like me to add to the grocery list?”
Me – “marshmallows to roast over the burning remains of civilization when the impending collapse comes.”
Mrs. McGinty – *blank stare*
Me – “maybe some avocados.”
Why would you roast avocados over the fires of civilization?
It’s for his avocado toast. You use the burning remains to toast the bread.

This whole talk about Pandemic Pods (Parents pulling their kids from school to hire a tutor to teach them in a small group of friends) is so full of stupid that I cannot even believe it.
However, I am seeing a new signal start to emerge from the noise. My wife (who is hispanic) has been working on finding our own solution to the attempts at destroying our kids’ education. The narrative goes, “Sure pulling our kids out of the schools is going to destroy the schools. It’s a feature not a bug. The inequitable white supremacy of our country will not be destroyed until we destroy the current, white supremacist education system.”
It’s nothing short of culture war.
Our job as whitey is to kneel down with our necks exposed for the convenience of the executioner.
They’ve been trying for fifty years to upend civilization and they finally found the one ring. The most pathetic part is how easy it was for them to make society lay on its back for a nice belly rub.
Wait? Are we saying that public schools were at all beneficial for the education of students? ’cause I don’t believe that.
“cause I don’t believe that.”
Who cares? The fact is that the Left has sold the narrative of institutional racism, and it is time for them to live by their own rules. If whitey is brainwashed into white supremacy, the institution doing it has to be public education.
Oh, ok, i misunderstood. I was taking it as an argument for why we need to open public schools again? I think i got the motivation mixed up. Re-reading it makes sense. Carry on.
Tiny victories are tiny but incremental. We can’t let this creeping rot overwhelm us. We need to stand together and be Spartacus or Kramer. Fuck you I won’t do what you tell me. I’ve got little to lose but I’m not ever bending the knee to any one or any idea wrought of man. FOS!

I’m not saying it was aliens…
The Pentagon claimed that it had stopped funding its UFO program in 2012, but now it admits that it continued the program and it has major news.
People who were on the Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force inside the Office of Naval Intelligence said that they found vehicles “humans ‘couldn’t make ourselves’ and ‘vehicles not made on this earth,’” The Daily Mail reported.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio talked about UFOs in a July 16 interview with CBS reporter Jim DeFede where he said he hoped they were extraterrestrial and not Chinese,UFO Vice reported.
“We have things flying over our military bases and places where we’re conducting military exercises and we don’t know what it is and it isn’t ours,” Rubio said.
“Frankly, if it’s something outside this planet that might actually be better than the fact that we’ve seen some sort of technological leap from the Chinese or Russians or some other adversary that allows them to conduct this sort of activity,” he said.
“That to me is a national security risk and one we should be looking into,” the senator said.
The Chinese and Russians rate lower on the national security risk than aliens?
At this point, I might welcome aliens.
Morena Baccarin is always welcome!
Hell yeah.
It’s like he’s never seen Independence Day.
Top secret aircraft being tested out of the Skunk Works. For years everyone thought the (at the time) experimental stealth aircraft were UFOs.
I had a cousin who used to talk about seeing a UFO in a field one night. It came over, hovered, then took off in a hurry. A few years later, the first pictures of the stealth bomber were released and he was, “That was it.”
Makes sense…get in a flight path of a B2 and you wont see it till its upon you (unless you were looking for it) and given size and speed could appear to “hover”

The flag waving is a propaganda move for the cameras. They are discussing on Reddit & other places new ways to “change” public perception on the riots. This is a group that beats people carrying flags, burns US flags, & chants for abolishment of the US.
First and best comment:
Those crazy suicidal Swedes
Sweden’s economy hasn’t been unscathed but its contraction seems to be less dramatic than what other countries are facing. A Capital Economics report from mid-June noted that Sweden’s GDP would likely shrink 8%, compared with the harder-hit countries with late lockdowns like the U.K., where the contraction would be closer to 25%. That said, other reports have found that Sweden’s economy didn’t perform all that differently than its neighbors, including Denmark. Despite less stringent lockdowns, unemployment still rose and consumer spending fell.

BUT

Dr. Cheng Xu, a gastroenterologist in Sweden who treated many elderly patients, recalls honeymooning in Asia in late January and spotting many people wearing masks.
Back in Sweden, Xu hasn’t seen most citizens sport a face covering in crowded public spaces. And although he stocked up in the early months, anticipating a potential pandemic, he fears that there’s less value in him wearing one if others are neglecting to do so.
People enjoy the warm evening at Sundspromenaden in Malmo, Sweden, on May 26, 2020, amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“There’s an aggregated net positive effect,” he said. “We need a more significant percentage wearing them, especially those who have symptoms.”
——-
Prime Minister Stefan Lofven admitted in June that the country did not go far enough to protect its most vulnerable, and many public health experts agree.
“Sweden kept many of its schools open and the restrictions were mild, but there were a lot of elderly deaths,” said Dr. Andrew Azman, a research associate in infectious disease epidemiology at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, who is based in Switzerland. “It wasn’t one of the better responses overall.”
There were a lot of elderly deaths, you say? Just like in New York? And everywhere else in the world?
These guys are obsessed with beating up on Sweden. They don’t like it when somebody voluntarily gives up a seat at the Cool Kids’ Table.
Dr. Cheng Xu, a gastroenterologist in Sweden
That sounds really unlikely.
What is a gastroenterologist doing treating people with a respiratory infection?
Malpractice?
Go to Unherd on YouTube. Dr. Tengell was interviewed. He explained all this.
It’s pretty clear Sweden is more right than wrong at the moment.
I remember when Sweden was the poster for Social Democracy. How the tables have turned.

Another scalp taken
Troy Young, president of Hearst Magazines, resigned on Thursday following allegations of inappropriate workplace behavior.
Hearst President and Chief Executive Officer Steve Swartz announced the departure in a brief note posted to Hearst’s website.
“Troy Young and I have agreed that it is in the best interest of all of us that he resign his position as president of Hearst Magazines, effective immediately,” Swartz wrote.
Hearst owns many of the world’s prominent, female-focused magazines brands including Harper’s Bazaar, Marie Claire and Cosmopolitan. Young joined Hearst in 2013 as president of digital and was promoted in 2018.
Young’s resignation comes a day after a New York Times investigation exposed what it described as a toxic workplace culture at Hearst Magazines, including specific allegations of sexual harassment by Young. Among the allegations was that Young emailed pornography to Hearst editor Jay Fielden and that during a visit at Cosmopolitan’s office, he picked up a sex toy, asked to keep it and made a crude joke about it.
If it was in the New York Times, it has to be true.
does anyone still read magazines?
So the next NYT Expose is going to be about the crude jokes and keeping of sex toys at Cosmo?
I would think playing with sex toys is an occupational requirement at Cosmo.

Or a bucket of wings.
Now I’m thinking about getting wings for dinner tonight.
I already ordered wings for lunch.
There’s a couple places that are less then half a mile from my place, and I’m not going to pay a delivery fee for cold wings when I can just walk up to the place and get them fresh.
I’ve never had cold wings delivered. They always arrived hot.
Putting some baby backs on the grill shortly.
Not my favorite ribs, but I have them and am not buying more meat right now, the freezer is well stocked.
is a soup more substantive than chicken wings? how so?

Protesting peacefully for a redress of grievances.
“Last night violence was even more aggressive than previous nights as rioters once again tried to set fire to the federal courthouse and actively tried to breach the entrance of the courthouse,” a senior DHS official wrote in an email Thursday. “Rioters are also employing tactics that force federal officers to leave the Hatfield Federal Courthouse, setting them up to be attacked with lasers and projectiles.”
The attack on the Hatfield Federal Courthouse began after 10 p.m. local time after more than 1,000 people gathered downtown. Some became violent. The attackers blocked the entrances to the courthouse, preventing the special DHS forces inside from easily getting out. Some federal officers escaped and tried to repel those vandalizing the outside of the courthouse but were beamed in the eye by lasers, which can cause temporary and long-term blindness.
Other rioters then installed wooden boards on the outside of the courthouse entrance to prevent the rest of the DHS officials from leaving, while others tried to break down the doors. DHS officials on the scene said a shopping cart full of bricks and baseball bats were left in front of the building. Federal police indoors who were trying to peak outside were struck with lasers, preventing them from seeing what was going on outside.
“Around midnight rioters attempted to set the courthouse on fire, as they have done numerous times before,” the official stated. “They also threw smoke bombs into the flames causing the interior of the courthouse to fill with smoke. In response, a team of federal officers was forced to leave the building, taking one individual into custody. When they did, a rioter threw a bag filled with hard objects at officers.”
So they supposedly barricaded the exits then tried to set fire to the building which in my book is attempted murder. I would not shed a single tear if the Feds started using live ammo, regardless of political fallout.

Of course we just paid off my wife’s student loans.
This is growing as a talking point for the Left… I think Biden has talked about knocking 10 grand off. I’ve got a very large amount of student loan debt. My plan was to refinance with a private lender and aim to pay off in 3 years. Even had the rate in a contract and the pen poised to sign back in March. Then they paused all interest of federally held student loans so I kept mine Federal.
I had planned on resuming the plan once the 0% interest ended in September but now I don’t know. I might just focus on paying off the mortgage much faster instead and save the student loans for last just in case. Yeah I know, but I’ll take it if they’re going to hand it out. Might help cancel some of what’s been stolen from my paycheck over the years.
Any money for responsible people who repaid their loans? BAHAHAHAHAHAHA…..of course not.
Yep, it would enrage a lot of people, but I don’t think the Dem’s give the smallest shit about it. There’s definitely a clear division now, and the Dem’s have no interest in talking to the center or right. Wasn’t it Warren who got pushback on the campagain trail about people who already paid off their loans and got pretty nasty about it? Or maybe she just ignored the angry guy asking the question.

Dump pig shit on them from helicopters.
These are military probes. Now that they’ve blinded a few cops, they learned that the lasers work really well. A whole bunch of Soros money is being spent right now to acquire as many powerful lasers as can be found. The next set of confrontations anywhere will include lots of lasers. The longer this goes on, the more lessons get learned and the more dangerous the Antifa / BLM army becomes. Sparta fought Thebes too many times…
This needs to be stopped right now and everyone involved needs jail time. The alternative is to pack everything up in that courthouse and sign it over to the city and state. Continued inconclusive battles is the road to disaster.
Shouldn’t that be ” A bag filled with hard objects was thrown in a direction generally towards officers?”. Remember guys, you are hearing cop reports. A “Bag full of Hard Objects”? really? did they throw dildoes at them? Give me a break.
Hard objects were airborne. Interpersonnel collisions may have occurred.

“Because a couple hundred federal agents in a few cities can control and election?”
Only a few Russians did it, so…
They’re just laying the groundwork for when they steal the election.
It’s like this. When they get caught cheating by ballot fraud, they’ll just say ‘Well, they cheated in 2016, turn about is fair play!’.
Republicans haven’t won an election since 1988.
in 2000 Bush was selected, not elected.
In 2004, Bush’s pals at Diebold hack Ohio’s voting machines.
Then there were free and fair elections which naturally resulted in Democrats winning.
Of course, everyone knows about the Russian interference that stole the election from Herself.
And honestly, 1988 was probably a CIA op to put their former chief on the throne.
“Republicans haven’t won an election since 1988.”
This is why we can’t allow anymore elections, we have to protect our democracy. /dems
I think the single most annoying thing about them is they keep spouting that democracy non-sense, like they’ve already enabled tyranny by the majority in the country. Well, they’re getting close.
If we really wanted to fix our schools, the first thing we would do is everyday take each student aside and ask them what form of government we have in the USA. The beatings will not stop until they stop saying democracy.
Well if a few hundred thousand to a million dollars in ad buys on Facebook can, why not this?
Here’s my problem with “Stealing the Election” stuff. Show me the receipts. Explain to me how this will work. The elections that make sense to me that can be rigged are local ones, and House of Rep, because it is rather easy to build a machine to get you elected in such a small geographic area, and relatively few people really give a shit

Are those just fireworks? Are the claims that they are trying to set fire to the building just the protestors firing fireworks into it?

The federal judge issuing an injunction against “targeting” “journalists” and “legal observers” on both the city of Portland (opposed like the EPA being sued by enviros) and soon the Feds, is the husband of a local congresswoman. Democrat congresswoman, of course. Yet, the complete conflict of interest isn’t mentioned anywhere in relation to his wide ranging opinion of the police tactics at the riots.

For the Gun price followers out there, has these checks had an effect on the price of AR-15s?
What ARs?
hmm. So you’re saying i should go for an AR-10, or Mni-14
Mini if you can get it due to ammo cost.

And do you recommend taking it on my next canoe camping trip?
Obvi.
I’d say the massive run on them due to Kung Flu and Communist Revolution has affected it a lot more.
Extra income = more gunz.
Assuming this stimulus bill comes in at 2 trillion, I think they could have given every household something $40,000 over the course of all the bills instead of the peanuts designed to hide all of the graft and pork.

I probably would do a bit better and knowing it wouldn’t be good I wouldn’t even agree to it.

New mask rules at my office is you don’t need to wear a mask at your desk as long as you are 3 meters from someone and the AC is off. This is fucking stupid. Masks may protect you face to face with someone. If the virus comes through the AC which I doubt then it spreads through the room and masks don’t do shit.
Your office sounds like it will be an incubator soon
I ain’t keeping a mask on at my desk and I certainly am not keeping the AC off in July and August in Bucharest. Fuck that shit.

A while back people were talking about being unable to order “The Underground History of American Education” from Amazon. The Kindle version was “under review”, but paper copies are still available though expensive. I ordered a copy from a user bookseller whom I assume is using Amazon Marketplace to sell books through Amazon. I received a ship notification this morning. The book should be here next week.
My son and I had a good conversation about the Anarchist Cookbook. Ill have to look into this book DEG.
I obtained my copy of “The Anarchist Cookbook” somewhere between my late high school years and my early undergrad years. I can’t remember exactly when.
I had a coworker that also worked at Waldenbooks. He and I were talking about books. “The Anarchist Cookbook” came up. He offered to order it for me. I took him up on his offer.
My son and I were talking about the hayday of the Internet when it was truly free exchange of ideas.
He is turning into a little shitlord and will inherit my orphans soon enough.
Excellent!
I worked at a bookstore in the 80’s. We didn’t stock it, but people would occasionally order one. One of my managers saw it on hold for a customer, and had a little fit when she realized what was in it, but she didn’t stop the sale.
Since the beginning of this plandemic I have been wondering when the hell that antibody testing would get pushed. You would think that is highly important information as to the contagiousness and the spread of this disease. The few larger scale antibody studies they did showed far larger infection rates than thought, which want very surprising to me. Then they seemed to stop. Supposedly Roche came out with an antibody test that was 99% accurate and yet there has been zero push to get people to take it. I can’t even find where it is available near me (there is one available from Quest Diagnostics considered less accurate). This is opposed to the constant push to get people to test for active infections. I can only assume at this point that they want that information kept hidden.
“You would think that is highly important”
The only highly important thing is getting rid of bad orange man and restoring our ‘democracy’.
Thats the overall problem. There is vast amounts of new science on the problem and we are still operating like we were back in March/April, being told to follow the science.
Its a con game to create division. Thats all I can think of.
I think that is much more likely than just incompetence. We are still pretending that asymptomatic people are large sources of the spread and that the thing has a death rate in the single percentage digits. We are also still pretending that getting it once is not protection against getting it again. “It’s novel!!” No, at this point it is fucking not. Mass antibody testing would give a whole lot more information than having thousands of people line up in their cars at stadiums to take active infection swab tests.
People are and they are counting them as positive cases. There’s no interest in real clean informative data.
The problem, as I understand it, is that the virus is so toothless to most people, that the antibody response is so mild that many of the people who have been infected it will read negative on an antibody test. The antibodies have to reach a certain level for the test to detect it.
In fact there seems to be some sort of gray area as to what counts as someone ‘infected’ and someone merely ‘exposed.’
There are two petri dish situations available for testing: the cruise ship and the aircraft carrier. Both air conditioned, closed and mostly indoor situations.
What the fuck were the results on % catching it, % who caught it but didn’t have symptoms, % who needed hospitalization, % who died by age cohorts, etc.
There’s already been articles talking about how the antibodies won’t protect you. They’re saying you can get the COVID multiple times now. But a vaccine will protect you…
Virginia Plan to Reduce Gun Violence Act of 2020 (Virginia Gun Control For All)
I hate my senators.
Small potatoes. As soon as the dems get their supermajority back this fall, we’re getting national gun confiscation. Yes, Beta is taking your AR-15 and your shotgun, and your pistols. And probably then your steak knives.
This state is completely fucked.
The speed at which it occurred is the interesting bit.
Sadly I think it’s going to be the blueprint for any other state with a change in control to Team Blue.
VA has done in a few years what took us in NJ decades.
no worries: good Republicans in the White House and their appointed justices will fix this any day now
Yep, because the Republicans are fucking useless, it always works. Even if they manage to retake the Assembly, they won’t repeal all the bullshit. They gave the public sector unions power to collectively bargain. The useless GOP will never repeal that. That’s the new normal.
conservatives are progressives driving the speed limit. Their whole ideology is reactive, which is why they can never be on the offensive.
That’s because lots of Team Red doesn’t really care much about the unwashed working class.
Team Red and knows that the Chamber of Commerce coalition is where the money comes from. And they really don’t care or actually support “reasonable” gun restrictions.
Next round will be to close the relative “loophole”.
Sweet Lord, you people are becoming such Debbie Downers that I’m beginning to think Winston hacked everyone’s account.

Someone noticed – the whitest kids you know.
I have to attend to family business in Cali this next week. Dad has been lying to us kids and this “treatable” throat cancer was actually stage 3 when he went into the VA back in March. Its spread and is stage 4 terminal.
While there, I am going to make sure to only order a side of wings, drink openly on the beach, and tell off the VA for allowing covid to get into the cancer wing by a doctor.
Sorry about that cant say much but hope it is as painless as possible.
Thanks Pie. 75, lifetime smoker and heavy heavy drinker..it wasnt a shock.
Sorry to hear that.

I’m so sorry. Vent in whatever way works best.

Sorry .
Thanks all. VA is letting us visit so that is good.
That sucks. My condolences.
Sorry about that Obe.

Report: ARM is for sale and Nvidia’s interested, Apple isn’t
Assault Rifle Machine? Sounds dangerous. Should be banned.
That is interesting.
I read an interesting bit the Nvidia may have to resort to larger node for its next iteration of GPUs because it has pissed off its partners and can’t get capacity at the smaller node.
(You may or may not be able to comment.)
Not directly. However,
If they can’t get capacity it’s because it’s been allocated to someone else. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY is going to keep any part of a line below max out of spite.
What would be interesting about that from my POV is that the reason why we didn’t go to 4 was we couldn’t come up with a way that we’d sell enough to recoup the R&D/retooling costs. Which means either someone did their forecasting wrong, or other people are willing to take the loss to be sole-source suppliers.
This can become a self-fulfilling prophecy when it comes to further CD reduction though.
Probably a huge part of why Apple isn’t interested.

Food is not food, I guess.
In New York, as in many other states, bars are required to have food available as a condition for selling alcohol. But during the current lockdowns, Gov. Cuomo made a new rule requiring patrons to purchase a food item in order to purchase an alcoholic beverage. The requirement is reportedly aimed at reducing curbside boozing during the coronavirus pandemic.
Bars struggling to stay solvent during the lockdowns are now being told by the governor which of their food items are considered to be “substantive” foods and which are considered to be mere snacks. And according to the governor, chicken wings don’t make the cut.
“To be a bar, you had to have food available — soups, sandwiches, etc. More than just hors d’oeuvres, chicken wings. You had to have some substantive food — the lowest level of substantive food were sandwiches,” Cuomo said during a briefing on Thursday.
And fuck that totalitarian horseshit rule.
Cuomo’s press conferences are basically one long Seinfeld/curb episode premises at this point.
Drugs did done fell outta yer ass…
How many takers that a large restaurant association is behind this? Applebees, Chilis, etc.
Bullshit. I’ve been to many, many bars with no food in sight. Bars with food are called “restaurants”.
Can someone give him Cass Elliot’s ham sandwich?
So a Kraft cheese square between two slices of white bread would be “substantive”? It’s a sandwich, still only a buck.

Progress!
Those other states are ending their quarantines too early! to compensate and protect our citizens from Trump’s rash and science-denying recklessness, anyone entering New York from a red state must quarantine for 21 days!

This Cuomo?
Yes, that hypocrite.
My fever broke over night between March 9th and 10th. I’ve been asymptomatic ever since.
Is that more than 10 days?
It’s been 136 Earth days but only 2.3181818 Mercury days (where one day = 1408 hours,) and we have to use Mercury days because we use mercury in thermometers. So…no.
You scienced the hell out of that one.
Lightfoot, who previously vowed to turn away the feds, and Trump — who blasted “extreme politicians” whom he accused of joining an “anti-police crusade” — are in agreement over the strategy of sending in agents to plug into existing operations, the paper reported.
Why the about face? I am serious and not snarking. I would liek to know what caused that about face.
The U.S. consulate in Wuhan, China is considered the “sister” facility to China’s Houston consulate. The U.S. also has consulates in China in Chengdu, Shenyang, Guangzhou and Shanghai. The U.S. embassy in China is in Beijing.
The South China Post cited a source in reporting Thursday that the U.S. consulate in the southwestern city of Chengdu would be the target for China’s retaliation.
Next step recognize Taiwan? I’m dreaming right?
And make no mistake, the Squad’s push for “canceling” student loan debt is indeed proposing a massive handout to the upper class. Why? Well, student debt is, by definition, only held by individuals who attended college. It’s easy to forget it in today’s culture, but most Americans do not hold college degrees.
They’re pandering to their base.
Gun dealers reported a 58.2 percent increase in black customers in 2020—the most rapid growth of any ethnic group, according to a survey from the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), which represents gun makers and dealers. More than eight million guns have been sold in 2020, according to background-check records, and many purchasers are first-time gun owners.
YES! More gun owners!
A new Cato national survey finds that self‐censorship is on the rise in the United States. Nearly two-thirds—62%—of Americans say the political climate these days prevents them from saying things they believe because others might find them offensive. The share of Americans who self‐censor has risen several points since 2017 when 58% of Americans agreed with this statement.
Next survey: Is water wet?
Recognize Taiwan AND give them nukes or GTFO. Give Japan the green light to nuke up too.
RE: Chicago
I think people are forgetting about the police unions. The Chicago police union reached out to Trump for help. I thing the police union is still strong in Chicago and I can’t see any politician going against them if they want to keep their job. I also think that’s why the Columbus statue came down. Not so much to appease the crowd, but to prevent putting cops into another dangerous situation.
That makes sense, thanks!
Man, ESPN did an absolute shitshow of a job on baseball last nite. I realized as soon as I turned on the Giants/Dodgers that it was a nationally televised game and therefore the broadcast would suck compared to the local guys, Jon Miller, Kruik, and Kuiper. They missed the first fucking pitch to commercial break. Then the social justice signaling didn’t stop. My wife was reading her book and at one point stopped and said, “is that announcer serious? He was just blaming people for catching a disease?! That is very weird.” Yes, it was very weird. That combined with the BLM related bullshit is probably gonna make me take a pass on this season. And the Giants suck bad.
ESPN needs to die
I can’t watch sports anymore.
They’ve ruined it. (cue: Charlton Heston looking over the Statue of Liberty) You really blew it up, didn’t you? Damn you all to hell!)
Bob Kostas started mild virtue signaling years ago during sports broadcast. Then he viciously went after horse racing WHILE COVERING THE KENTUCKY DERBY. Then a little commentary about racism in sports (non enough Samoans yet?? IDK). And culminating in an epic anti gun screed during a football game.
Then we had fit-throwing Kaepernick who is still pissed that he only had one good season so he covers up his mediocre talent by guaranteeing he will never have to take a snap in the BFL again.
The NBA lost me with the bending of the knee to China. I’ve been a Giants fan since I can remember having memories, going to the park since five years old. It’s unbelievable to me that they think this sort of bullshit will not end up hurting their bottom line. Sports are an escape for people. This isn’t a difficult concept to grasp
Sports are an escape for people.
Amen.

Medical experts
As the US hit a sobering 4 million cases of Covid-19 and the rising daily rate of confirmed cases and hospitalizations suggest the virus is far from under control, medical experts are urging political leaders to shut down the country and start over to contain the pandemic.
At least 4,038,748 coronavirus cases and 144,304 deaths have been recorded in the United States, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. As the numbers climb, more than 150 prominent US medical experts, scientists, teachers, nurses and others have signed a letter to political leaders urging them to shut down the country and start over to contain the surging coronavirus pandemic.
“Right now we are on a path to lose more than 200,000 American lives by November 1st. Yet, in many states people can drink in bars, get a haircut, eat inside a restaurant, get a tattoo, get a massage, and do myriad other normal, pleasant, but non-essential activities,” the letter said.
Coronavirus is set to become a leading cause of death in the US, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention mortality statisticians told CNN via email Thursday.
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates also sounded the alarm Thursday during a CNN coronavirus town hall.
That’s it, them. We can’t fight SCIENCE almighty.
How dare the peasants want to do those normal, but “non-essential” things that we smaht people know they shouldn’t
Has Gates shut down Microsoft?
Are you fucking kidding? Microsoft is making bank on Covid-19.
Any politicians or health bureaucrats who are advocating shutdowns should not be paid for the duration of the shutdown and not receive salary in back pay. Then they can say, “we are all in this together.” Assholes.
Seriously. I always bring that up, and people just kind of shrug and say some bullshit like “Well they’re doing the best they can.”
The Spirit of 76 is well and truly dead.
Never!
They had six months. Clearly ‘the best they can’ isn’t very good.
I’m thru with paying attention to experts.
TREMBLE!

It’s like fucking Sodom and Gomorrah out there. Surely the virus is God punishing us for our sins. Repent! Repent now, sinners, and cease this frivolity which is anathema in the eyes of God!

Looks like the 1 week average of New cases has peaked and is falling back down, but deaths is till climbing up slightly. So i predict the media will stop focusing on deaths and droping the “Rising Cases” narrative.
Are those deaths properly time classified or are they being moved forward to the date reported instead of date occurred?
