It’s back.
Apparently the NBA All-Star Game And Kamalafest was last night…couldn’t give a shit. The wheels have come off on Merseyside. ManUre tightened the top of the table. And baseball spring training is clipping right along, sometimes with fans even. And that’s sports.
Oscar-worthy
Birthdays of note are pirate lady Anne Bonny, boob job pioneer Karl Ferdinand von Graefe, SC justice and jackass Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr, magazine founder Elmer Keith, actor Alan Hale Jr, infielder Dick Allen, HOFer Jim Rice, acting great James Van Der Beek, wide receiver Hines Ward, and tattoo aficionado Kat Von D.
That’s it.Now on to…the links!
Gonna get messy
The circus is coming! The circus is coming! That is going to be an absolute mess. Especially once the names and addresses of jurors get leaked…which I am certain will happen.
Well, this is a bummer, albeit an expected one. But hey, college men accused of wrongdoing at least enjoyed due process for a couple years, right?
Hey dickhead, read Article 1, Section 4 of the Constitution. Of course they don’t give a shit. Especially when, according to Biden, minorities are not smart enough to get on the internet. And team blue must have their votes.
It’s a hard-knock life for us! These two are the best scammers in the world. I gotta respect the con. Although I don’t respect any man who is that emasculated, so I guess that means I respect her. I may need to rethink this.
Coming soon in a Biden world
Looks like Biden is hoping to bring segregation back in style. Pretty soon, they’ll set up separate seating areas on buses by race. And maybe separate eating areas in cafeterias. Then we’ll start seeing some progress in this country. ::SMDH::
Ooh, I know where this isn’t as prevalent: in places where kids are actually back in school because the teachers unions aren’t holding them hostage.
This is what happens when your school sucks at sports. At real schools, these things only happen after championships or victories over rivals. Which is why Ann Arbor is so safe on weekend nights.
I can assure you this list isn’t even close to accurate. But if it makes people feel good, so be it.
Let’s start the day off rocking. Hope you enjoy it.
Now get out there and have a great one, friends!
“Especially once the names and addresses of jurors get leaked…which I am certain will happen.”
I thought it already happened?
Some self-identified BLM group has said they’ll release them as soon as they’re selected, but that process is just getting under way.
I have no idea what all this Megan Markle stuff is about, but it’s everywhere.
Brought over from the dead thread – After the Ohpra interview #Abolishthe monarchy is trending on Twitter in Canada. Yes, people are this stupid.
Well, I agree with their end goal though not their reasoning.
Well yeah but I really don’t like the method. End it on Republican grounds, not “woke” bullshit. Q.E. is a pretty cool Lady.
And she will never die. Which is probably why Harry and Markle are all butthurt.
Meghan is pissed she will not be queen. Harry is sixth in line and will fall further with each birth in William’s line.
How on heaven’s green earth could she have thought she’d EVER be queen?
She hasn’t struck me as someone well versed in royal details.
We can only hope she is regicidal, it would stop that shit and make for a good Lifetime movie.
Maybe thought she could woke them into it, by saying if they didn’t make her (barely) POC ass queen it would mean they are all white supremacists?
Now that you say that, I can see it.
Well, she did literally say in the Oprah interview that she didn’t do any research on Royal life before jumping in, so…
Apparently she doesn’t know how to use the innert00bs because rules on being a royal practically assault you.
Wait, wasn’t she on Royal Pains? Actors who don’t do background work are shameful! I lived as a hat for 15 years before I portrayed one!
Yep! There’s an instructional television show and everything.
She is also upset because Archie is only entitled to be an earl not a prince, which has been standard protocol for 100 years.
The children of William and Kate get a royal title. Why don’t mine? It must be racism.
The correct response to anything involving these two grifters is “who gives a shit?”
Meghan is Falstaff without the fun.
More like Iago.
Let’s hope it turns out like Titus Andronicus.
Those poor kids!
I liked her in ‘Suits’. . .
If there was ever an appropriate time to shame someone for being interested in a thing.
Meghan and Harry are both white trash.
Megs pulled herself and Harry out of the Family because they were going to reject her baby of color.
There, now you’re caught up.
And if you believe that, I’ve got a bridge to sell you.
Prince Harry was an attack helicopter pilot that used to dress as a Nazi for Halloween. That’s some sort of magic cootchie.
I’m sure he borrowed the Nazi uniform from one of his relatives.
Probably found it in a dusty toy box up in the servants quarters.
Andrew us what you get from 25 generations of inbreeding.
I like the way the line breaks work out when viewing this on my phone.
Prosecutors and defense attorneys can also move to dismiss prospective jurors without cause using what’s called a peremptory challenge. Chauvin’s team has 15 of these challenges and the prosecution has nine
I think Chauvin’s team is gonna need about 350 million more.
He should opt for a bench trial. Finding a jury that won’t be biased or intimidated by the mob is going to be impossible.
If you think that guy is gonna get a fair trail either way, don’t hold your breath.
I think his best bet is a bench trial. I also think he’s guilty and deserves to spend life in prison, based on the evidence I’ve seen so far.
That whole situation still smells fishy to me: The working at a bar together, the other cops standing idly as he kneels on his neck. Etc.
Sure looked like a clear case of brutality to me. But, that is why you need a fair trial and anyone pointing that out will be called a Nazi.
Nazi!
Ugh, what about the Judge, though? He might be one of Soros’ creatures. IANAL but all it takes is one recalcitrant juror to hang, right?
They’ll just dismiss that juror and seat another until they get the result they want.
They’d just be labelled “Chauvinists” and be dismissed out of hand.

Heh

‘The world knows where we are. It’s not safe. It’s not secure.
It sucks not to be the king.
The only reason the world knows where you are is because you keep paying your publicity firm.
I keep using Google and it’s free!
If that is what’s happening, he needs a new firm. People locked in their houses and losing their jobs while this asswipe is bitching about not getting his silver spoon. It really is crazy.
Why would he need a new firm? Based on what I see in news outlets this morning, they’re doing an incredible job selling their sob story to the masses.
If the masses buy this, it’s hard for me to argue against COVID.
The people that buy this are the ones that buy the wimmenz mags at the grocery store check out and watch the View.

Haz is under the impression that he is more than a minor Royal.
He is completely irrelevant. When QE kicks it, we get a few years of King Charles (he’s in his 70s), then it will be King William, then his son George or one of his other kids.
Harry is no longer relevant to the line of succession the second Kate had her second child.
Meghan married Harry to further her career as a social media influencer. Harry married her to prove how woke he is.
The End.

“”Every eligible voter should be able to vote and have that vote counted,” Mr. Biden said in prepared remarks at the Martin & Coretta Scott King Unity Breakfast on Sunday, according to the White House. ”
so stunning much brave
The fix is in forever… well until the “revolution” or mass upheaval. Whatevs.
Every tautology is tautologically true.
“Every eligible voter should be able to vote and have that vote counted,” Mr. Biden said in prepared remarks
Uh, that’s the case. They just need to register and vote according to state law…which is clearly the way it’s supposed to be if you read Art 1 Sec 4 of the constitution, dickhead.
The whole point of that sort of language is to make it sound as if the opposing party is preventing eligible voters from voting and having their votes counted.
See: “food deserts”, “living wage”, “_______ justice”, ad infinitum. It’s all gaslighting horseshit from that crowd.

Of course I knew it was going to be bad post-Trump but not this bad. The Dems are going for broke here, betting everything for their power.
But, like mos things, nothing quite works out quite like you wished.
It’s clear that they see the writing on the wall for the mid-terms.

A US Dept. of Ed spokesman, in a statement said, “OCR [Office of Civil Rights] does not comment on specific facts and circumstances related to open cases. OCR can confirm, however, that on Nov. 25, 2019, it previously opened an investigation of a complaint on the basis of race against the Evanston/Skokie School District (IL) for possible violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color, or national origin in programs or activities receiving federal financial assistance.”
The spokesman added, “The Biden-Harris Administration has put equity at the heart of its agenda and has committed to taking bold action to fight racism and discrimination, as described in the executive orders on Advancing Racial Equity and Combating Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation. This commitment relates directly to OCR’s mission of ensuring nondiscriminatory access to education for all students through the vigorous enforcement of the civil rights laws.”
The teacher-complainant said of the suspension of recommended actions in her discrimination case, “I am concerned with staff and student safety due to the Department of Education Title VI violation findings.”
Maybe I’m just slower than usual, this morning, but I don’t have a fucking clue about who did what to whom, or when it might have happened, after reading that mishmash.
The school was segregating based on race. Which, apparently, is what the left wants. The Trump DOJ said is was a civil rights violation and the Biden admin stayed that decision and will plow forward with separating students and faculty based on skin color…for their own benefit.
“They’re more comfortable among their own kind”.
They take want to test the theory that sperate but equal is still the law if they can prove that it will be a “good equal”
We will make sure they have equal facilities and opportunities!
I thought that all this bullshit was hashed out the year that I was born. Anyone here remember the Pepsi Generation? I do. It was kinda cool.
Pepsi is shit. Coke is where it’s at.
Hmm Be less white… Segregation coming back..
I guess it checks out.
Walking the dogs, I have to go up a hill where there is very nice little mid-century house that often has a newer Mercedes S class in the driveway. And a BLM sign in the yard.
There is a little banner in the window that says (from memory): “No one wins unless everyone wins”.
I wonder when he is going to sell his car and house to help out the poorz.
Cuck.
That sign won’t save him when the mob comes for him too.
Might as well have a sign that says “Soft Target”.
A more honest sign would read, “No one wins if everyone wins. And we don’t want anyone to win, cuz then a white person might win.”

I’ll have to look for it, but the real tally was that more people died from riding motorcycles to and from than from Covid contact at Sturgis.
I know they are saying that 360,000 or so people attended. Massively high infection rate is what they’re asserting. Same basic principle used in the vote counts for Biden.
Why do you hate science?
It is a number between a few and a whole lot.

Sorry. 260,000,000.
That was Biden gun deaths.
You can only get to that number with “knock-on” infections.

Muh MANDATE
Ever since their narrow, Trump-assisted double win in the U.S. Senate runoffs in Georgia, national Democrats — and progressives in particular — have been drunk on power they don’t have.
Rather than taking a sober, realistic view, the progressive left has swooned over reports of their “total control” in Washington.
——-
What holds together Democratic voters is not progressive ideology; it’s hatred for Trump. According to the Republican-oriented polling firm Echelon Insights, Democratic voters rate danger from “Trump supporters” as a concern (82 percent) second only to the coronavirus (87 percent).
Yet, progressives like Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) bluster about like the aftermath of the defeat of Alf Landon by Franklin Roosevelt. With every demand and threat against insufficiently “woke” Democratic office holders, the progressives increase the chances Biden will push too far to the left or that Manchin (or other Democrats) will either switch parties or go independent.
Pay no heed, Democrats, ram that uber-progressive shit through on straight party line votes, with Kamala the Judicious casting the deciding vote.
Surveys repeatedly show Americans love to see Peter robbed to pay Paul. Until they finally start to see the true consequences.
Democratic voters are suffering from mass hysteria as China, Russia, et al. laugh themselves stupid at us.
Those idiots in DC also fail to take note of how poorly their party – the proggie wing in particular – did out in the hinterlands. They will find out that matters.
Republicans might not like me much but they sure as shit don’t wish me dead. I’m a middle-aged white guy with quasi-libertarian beliefs. From the noises they are making , the Dems would like to disappear people like me.
Americans love to see Peter robbed to pay Paul, until they realize they are Peter.
“Of course, I want people to have health care; I just didn’t realize I would be the one who was going to pay for it personally.”

“WASHINGTON—Russian intelligence agencies have mounted a campaign to undermine confidence in Pfizer Inc.’s and other Western vaccines, using online publications that in recent months have questioned the vaccines’ development and safety, U.S. officials said.
An official with the State Department’s Global Engagement Center, which monitors foreign disinformation efforts, identified four publications that he said have served as fronts for Russian intelligence.
The websites played up the vaccines’ risk of side effects, questioned their efficacy, and said the U.S. had rushed the Pfizer vaccine through the approval process, among other false or misleading claims.
Though the outlets’ readership is small, U.S. officials say they inject false narratives that can be amplified by other Russian and international media. ”

Hey glibs, hope things are going well for yall. I’ve cut myself off from most politics for the last month or so, but wanted to drop in and say hey.
I miss y’all, but life has been so much better since not giving any shit about politics.
I’ve cooled it myself. Saw Sloop had a post up and wanted to chime in.
You’re not missing anything.
It’ll be a surprise when he’s being loaded into a train bound for the re-education camps.
You can still not give a shit and spend time with us. I’d say that’s true about 1/3 of the people here. Hopefully more.
I’m trying to not give a damn…. Not working for me.
Good tune, though. Sexually aggressive chubbies FTW!
Whether I give a shit or not, politics appears to really give a shit about me.
I find it easier to contemplate among this horde of misanthropes.
Yo!
IDGAF aboot politics and rarely address the deeper issues we discuss here. Please come back & I’ll talk to you about anything but politics.
Thanks, My problem is that i’m like an addict. I know it’s bad for me, but i can’t help myself. I’m coming back today to see if i can handle it. we’ll see.

I’m waiting for one of my favorite Youtubers to upload her Monday video. She’s a young’un who hasn’t watched very many movies, so she watches “classics” from 1994ish and earlier. She’s adorable, and she loves Mel Brooks.
How long are her videos. I might give it a Try.
Wife and i have been watching “Jomboy and Jake Videos”, where the two hosts watch old timey game show episodes and react to them. It’s been pretty fun.
About 20ish minutes…let me find one for you to get started

I do GAF about politics, but I’ve become pretty fatalistic about it. It’s out of my control and my beliefs are never going to be popular, so I don’t do much more than mockery and griping. Besides, I’m not nearly as well-read or eloquent on political theory as others here, so I shy away from deeper conversations.

“In other words, your shop or restaurant may be burned down. It seems a bit ironic: the FBI keeps trying to tell us that any day now, QAnon (or somebody on the right) is going to stage an “armed insurrection” in Washington. Of course nothing of the sort has happened, or will. But buildings have been burned down, businesses have been looted, people have been shot and killed and many other people’s lives have been devastated. Just not by conservatives.”

“Every eligible voter should be able to vote and have that vote counted,” Mr. Biden said in prepared remarks

I’m game. No one should eligibility for that nonsense.
The wheels have come off on Merseyside.
Actually, its going pretty good. A win of Chelsea today moves into the top 4.
I’m rooting for draw.
A draw has Chelsea in 4th on pts, but Everton ahead on pts per game.
It benefits the team in 6th.
Yeah, early on despite their struggles, I was still convinced they were 2nd best team in league. It still may be true, I was just wrong about who was #1.
Spurts?
I’ve completely dropped out of soccer this year. Hockey, too. Just don’t give a shit.
I might continue to follow the Blackhawks, you know… IF THEY DON’T HAVE TO KEEP PLAYING TAMPA @#$%ing BAY EVRY DAY.
Rangers are complete shit this year. That does make it easier to ignore. Plus, it’s not like this season counts anyway.
But on the other side of the park, my favorite was before the game Klopp saying it would take a “masterwork of coaching” to turn the season around. Ego much? You were in first place on Christmas, getting back to 4th wouldn’t require much other that showing up.
They lost to fucking Fulton. It’s going to take an Act of God to turn those dopes around.
Hey they lost to Burnley and Brighton at home too.
Saw a graphic – I think they’ve lost like six or eight straight at home. *sigh*
Fulton, as in Atlanta? Did they get promoted?
(For those not getting it, he typoed Fulham).
Guh. I always do that in my head.

The reductions in growth rates varied from half a percentage point to nearly 2 percentage points. That may sound small,

Van Der Beek was a pretty good sport in that sit-com with the two hotties a few years ago. He will never live down that GIF, though.
Yes, yes he was. That wonderful show was created by the former showrunner from Family Guy and it made me fall head-over-heels for Jack Ritter’s daughter (the titular ‘B’).
I saw this video yesterday: “What Happened To Our Villains?”
long story short, Disney, etc, can’t show a woman – Feminism! – losing to anyone in a fight, even in the beginning, so bad guys have become comically inept.
see Rey in the new Star Wars series, or Captain Marvel, Wonder Woman, etc
Bonus for the angry Scottish narrator.
He does some good movie critiques, and isn’t even always negative.
His main point is spot on. It is boring if the protagonist isn’t challenged. Yes, you fought. It was the equivalent of watching Usain Bolt race a toddler.

______ _____ ____ ____ ____ sheep.
It was hilarious in Rise of Skywalker when Kylo beats Rey’s ass and then, cuz we can’t have that, she stabs him to death when he’s unarmed and sensing Leia’s death. Because heroes shoud definitely stab helpless people. God that movie is so bad.
1. She didn’t ‘stab him to death’, he was in the next movie.
2. Were not your expectations subverted?
3. I gave up on Disney Wars in the first scene of The Force Awakens when Kylo Wren had force powers stronger than anything Palpatine or Vader had ever exhibited, even in the terrible prequel retcons. (Pretty much the opposite of when I stopped giving a shit about the prequels when Yoda used a light saber and then strained to levitate some metal even though ‘size matters not’)
The third movie on the Death Star. When she proved her heroism by stabbing an unarmed man. You know, what Luke refused to do.because blood is evil or some shit.
The first movie they nerfed KYlo by having him bleeding out.
And say what you want about last jedi, at least Rey was a character in it, rather than JJ abrams self insert wank material.
That’s because Luke was too weak to destroy evil when he had the opportunity. We need strong women like Rey to eradicate evil.
Every gender, real or imagined
President Biden will mark International Women’s Day on Monday by signing two executive orders geared toward promoting gender equity, both in the United States and around the world.
According to an administration official speaking on background, the goal of the orders is “restoring America as a champion for gender equity and equality.”
The first executive order will establish a Gender Policy Council within the White House, reformulating an office from the Obama administration that was later disbanded by former President Donald Trump, and giving it more clout.
Under former President Barack Obama, the office was called the White House Council on Women and Girls. The name change to the Gender Policy Council is intentional, the administration official said, “to reflect the fact that gender discrimination can happen to people of all genders.”
Take that, Trump!
Israel has such an office, it’s called the Council for Jews of Both Sexes, and Hermaphrodites.
Wow.
Biden explains…something?
Late stage. This is fucking sick.
LOL. Yeah, those guys are undefeatable.
Those beady little eyes.
Drugged to the gills.
That is a lot worse than I thought it would be. You almost feel bad that his wife is doing this to him.
Revenge for all of that hair sniffing.
I almost feel bad for him. Then I remember that he is a shitstain politician that spent decades grifting and causing chaos and destruction around the world. Fuck him.
And people thought Trump’s tweets were incoherent.
Maybe the teleprompter hiccuped?
It’s just a stutter.
What was that? We are so fucked…..
He’s almost completely adapted to the Aricept™ injections. The back-room Dems could lace his puddin’ cups with the stuff and it won’t help. They’re gonna 25A his ass by summer at this rate. And then it’s years of that tiresome twat Kamala.
Fuck me.

Exclusive: Stark divide on race, policing emerges since George Floyd’s death, USA TODAY/Ipsos Poll shows
They had a chance for police accountability reform after the Floyd killing. But they threw away everything for reasons.
The Floyd Riots are a prime case of catching the Tiger by the tail. There was a narrative, the Dems wanted to make sure they could be the only side on team “GOOD”, so when the protests got a little out of hand they opted to try to paint all opposition to the violence as racists who hate blacks. I think they realized it was worse than what they thought, but what could they do. They had no control over the situation, but couldn’t admit they were wrong, because that would mean the racists they just denounced were right. So they pretended it wasn’t happening.
Yep. I remember for about 24 hours on Facebook, everyone was shocked and I thought, finally, we had enough people seeing that we need some accountability. Then it was like someone flipped a switch, and everyone got their TEAM marching orders.
But they threw away everything for reasons.
Those reasons being
(a) Grift
(b) Political Power
(c) Destruction of social fabric
So last year the public started out being less racist, but grew increasingly racist as the months progressed?
Could the “protests demanding social justice,” or “nationwide marches,” have had anything to do with this?
I’m sure USA Today informed their respondents that BLM is in reality a Marxist front group when polling their “trust” in it.
My daughter heard what I heard in this commercial that came on tonight while watching TV.. My wife thinks we’re crazy. I won’t poison the pool, but do you hear something unusual in the middle of this.

Main site is here if you want to advance order one.
Only mouth breathers will buy that.
But not Neanderthals.
President Biden(‘s handlers) better not be dissing our Neandertal cousins. They were intelligent, capable people who survived at least 200,000 years in some of the harshest environments imaginable. Groper Joe, by comparison, is a cheap hack and a grifter who wouldn’t have lasted ten minutes in Ice Age Europe.
In an earlier age, Geico’s cavemen would respond to Joe’s slur.
I am part Neanderthal. More the 1024th.
That just ruined the image and the style that I’m used to, I should have stopped what I was doing ?
Damn it.

More polling:
via Powerline
methinks the Democrats are riding a dying horse. Not that it will stop their stupidity.
They have managed to delude themselves into thinking that a narrow presidential win* and losing seats in the house means that they have people, writ large, behind them. The progressives are even worse despite getting electoral spankings on a regular basis they represent the will of the electorate. Bernie got screwed but he also did not get the votes.
Surveys conducted by people who with a bias aren’t good for anything. I’d take this one with a giant grain of salt.
Another failed WHO whitewash of China’s COVID guilt
An easy way to discover the truth is to pay close attention to what you aren’t allowed to talk about. This fucking virus escaped from a lab where they were doing “gain of function” research.

Ah, yes. Much better.
Was expecting this WHO.
‘Behind Blue Eyes’ is the best Who song, it is known.
“the virus originated outside of China and spread to Wuhan via frozen-food packaging”
Yeah, sure.
That is going to be an absolute mess.

Just play that film, and he is toast. Keep remarking at each minute mark…and was it necessary for the defendant to continue to kneel on his neck?
He’ll be convicted of a lesser charge, manslaughter or some similar.
I don’t see how they could get anything other than that. Murder 1 is a complete farce here. (didn’t they also charge the other two guy who just happened to be present with that?)
I am astonished that they are holding this trial in Minneapolis. It should absolutely be moved to a different venue.
The fact that it hasn’t been tells me the fix is in.
When he does get convicted, I’m thinking there’s even odds or better there will still be riots. “Police brutality” was never anything but a pretext for rioting anyway, and it won’t be hard to find another one. Unless he is dragged out of court and gets two to the back of the head on the courthouse steps, the mob will have its pretext.
Maybe if the authorities offered to burn him at the stake, that would satiate the lust of the mob for fire and destruction?
No.
Of course not. The mob also lusts for big-screen TVs, designer duds, and shiny new cell phones.
The internet exists for cat memes.
President Biden is directing the Education Department to review a controversial regulation governing how colleges and universities handle allegations of sexual assault, with an eye toward unraveling a new system put into place by former education secretary Betsy DeVos.
Which I assume means no more due process carried out by the legitimate entities of the government that are not the universities.
It means that if you’re a guy that’s been accused you’re fucked.
Great.
I was just starting to feel a little bit better about sending my sons to college in a few years. I’m sure whatever shitshow Biden’s people will come up with, but whatever it is, it’s bound to be even worse than Obama’s shitshow.
It must be dawning on more than just me that Biden’s not really running the show. It’s the ever more-leftist flunkies around him who are running it.
Unless we are expected to swallow the idea that Joe’s been biden his time all these years under Obama and then out in the wilderness and finally now he can install the socialist paradise he’s been dreaming about since forever.
Well, it won’t belong before Ozy, Fourscore and Swissy won’t be able to strut around in their dress uniforms. Nope, they won’t dare once they get a load of the fruit salad bar on the chest of the kid in the National Guard.
Once you pile on additional awards for the 3/4 (and upcoming 3/20) insurrections, those guys won’t even have enough room on their tunics for any more medals.
Wait, wut?
Just another part of the Dems’ gaslighting campaign against the American people.
It will only be legit if it is the size of Flava Flav’s clock.
I support this.
The German Armed Forces Proficiency Badge is already an authorized decoration.
Schützenschnur fur alles!
Jawohl!
*clicks heels together*
Presumably because they will never be expected to win another decoration in their term of service?
Just like this, it’s only authorized for wear when serving the unit where it was earned.
Whoa. I read that as Flava Flav’s cock.
We’ll Get Medals!
Their chests will look like one of those Soviet WWII generals before this is all over.
That will end up a mark of derision and mockery.
I can just picture the poor PFC who hasn’t earned any other medal yet stewing over the decision about whether to put the medal on or not. He knows how pathetic it is, but dammit! I want something on my chest.
Please telle me tha the ribbon is black, white and red.
Rainbow striped
Like Mork’s suspenders?
We already have that.
Too late. The Army already has that covered.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army_Service_Ribbon
Not half as bad as the sheriffs in every podunk county strutting around with four star general insignia on their epaulets.
And when I’m elected president I’ll require a crying emoji device be affixed to that ribbon.
President Biden took unilateral action Sunday focused on voting rights and using the tools of the federal government to boost access for Americans to voter registration services.
It seems to me that voting regs are a state issue.
“Every eligible voter should be able to vote and have that vote counted,”
Indeed. But the states get to decide eligibility.
“If you have the best ideas, you have nothing to hide. Let the people vote.”
Or you can hide in a basement when you should be campaigning and still miraculously win in a totally above board and in no way compromised election. ///honkhonk
Let the people vote.
Any old people. Alive, dead, citizens, illegals, real, imaginary.
For great inclusion!

Nobody asking what comes after Cuomo?
Because?
Who is the Lt Gov?
Nobody in New York ever knows who the Lt. Gov. is. I certainly don’t have a clue.
Kathy Hochul.
I’m much more in the “this is the NY AG making a Move than Kamala doing Battlespace Prep.”. And the NY AG does not seem like she would be any less corrupt than Cuomo.
Yessir. The first shot across Cuomo’s bow was the AG’s report that nailed him for lying about the nursing homes. Coming from the office of a very far left AG, that was the signal to the rest of the Dem-media complex that it was permissible to stop propping him up and start releasing all of the damaging information. I said from then that my guess was that she was maneuvering for his job.
Eh, she hasn’t subpoenaed Cuomo’s tax records, bank records, and other finaincial documents for the last X number of years yet, which is a SCOTUS-approved power of the NY AG.
That is the traditional stepping stone office to the Gov’s chair. If you have to off the current occupant…well, ask Client 9 how that works.
Student mental health struggles intensify as high schools remain closed year into pandemic
But we have to keep the teachers at home, not working, sitting on their lazy asses claiming to be afraid of catching a cold for the sake of the children.
Pay no attention to that corporatism behind the curtain
Bernie Sanders, Josh Hawley and Amazon don’t often find themselves on the same side of an issue.
But years of stagnant wages that have failed to keep up with living costs and the political realignment spurred by Donald Trump are bringing together more than just Sanders, the independent senator from Vermont; Hawley, the Republican senator from Missouri; and Amazon, one of America’s biggest businesses.
The politics of the minimum wage have been scrambled, dividing the business community and making strange bedfellows out of populists on the right and the left.
——-
Amazon, which raised its starting wage to $15 an hour, is trying to lead the charge, and it is actively lobbying Congress, having taken out full-page ads in The New York Times supporting the Raise the Wage Act. Target and Best Buy have also set their lowest wages at $15 an hour, while Walmart set its minimum at $11 and Costco’s just jumped to $16.
“We’ve seen the positive impact this has had on our employees, their families, and their communities,” Amazon said in a blog post.
Everything not prohibited must be made mandatory.
If it’s so goddam awesome, what’s the problem? Why does it need to be coerced?
I’m sure I don’t know.
And yet i’m the crazy one for saying Bernie and Hawley only rate below Elizabeth Warren, in being complete paragons of American Fascism.
Maybe someone should remind them that ol’ Henry Ford paid so well in part to keep out unionization.
Of course Amazon will advocate for a high minimum, it’ll fuck their competitors.
RE: The Royals in Exile. I’m surprised the Cannucs/ and Aussies haven’t dumped the Royal Family in the past already. I mean they never visit, don’t make a palace in those countries they are supposedly the royalty over. And it is just got to be annoying for the lefty Cannucs who like to pretend how “Democratic they are” compared to the US that they are still a Monarchy.
It carries a lot more cache to be a member of the Queen’s Bar and to be The Royal Bank of Canada, etc.
Thats a fair point. Without the Royals, everyone would see that Canada is just Backwoods America. They wouldn’t get to play both sides of the world, acting like they weren’t provincials like us Americans, but also not snooty like the Europeans.
For heavens sake, they might even have to drop the nice act.
I mean they never visit
List of visits to Commonwealth countries by Elizabeth II
I see several visits to Canada and Australia on the list.
In case any of you want to play, “Are you smarter than a Minneapolis jury pool yahoo?”, here is a link to the jury selection questionnaire.
To be fair, a lot of it looks pretty similar to one I filled out when I got selected as a juror a few years back.
The thing too is that this is guaranteed to have the outcome where you are going to get people who have an objective (Free the cop or Fuck the Police) to lie, and the regular people who might be more openminded, but afraid of what happens afterward, to intentionally try to get out of duty.
I said it before but the questionnaire should be a reverse filter. Only people who fill out the document with answers that are an obvious attempt to get out of being on the jury should be considered. The True Believers who lied about how impartial they are should all be DQ’ed.
For example, I’d totes make sure Brooksy was on the jury. I wouldn’t be put off by him stapling a new piece of paper onto the back of the questionnaire with one question quoted and his answer to it.
That is the kind of crazy this trial needs.
The one time i went through Voir Dire, i felt bad because i actually was interested in participating as a juror, but was trying to be honest too, and the questions they have pretty much disqualify me from ever being a juror (Have you ever been a victim of a robbery, Do you know anyone who has been sent to prison).
One question i thought was out of line was from the judge (“Do you own a Gun”), the case was a firearms case. Still id say over half the jurors raised their hands, there wasn’t a way that they were going to get a jury without some gun owners on it.
I’ve been through it twice. Incredibly, I was not knocked out during the questioning in spite of admitting to being a lawyer. One was a grand jury, one was a cartel welfare fraud case. The grand jury was too much of my time, so I cried and whined like a bitch and they let me off. The cartel case, I wanted to sit on, but they took the top 14 jurors by assigned number, and I was something like number 16.
Twice also. First time was no big deal, no one eliminated but I “lost” the random draw to be on the jury.
Second one, half way thru the voir dire, I looked around the room and said it myself, “Oh shit, I am on this jury.” I made sure I was foreman and ran an efficient jury room. We went to jury on Friday morning and my bachelor party was that night.
They took our lunch orders, then we started and reached a verdict before the lunch arrived. We were delayed because court was at lunch too. When we went back after lunch for sentencing, it took us about 5 minutes.
I would say 20 minutes for verdict, 5 minutes for sentencing.
On the federal civil trial my wife was in, we purposefully wanted lawyers.
Well, not lawyers specifically, but we had a type of juror we were going for, and lawyers were definitely on the list.
We wanted:
1) Female.
2) Educated and/or highly successful in their field.
3) Typical machismo men of heavily-Hispanic SoFl.
It was a civil theft case where her brother stole a large amount of money from my wife.
We had 2 lawyers on the 8 person panel. 6 of them were women.
We wanted educated women because we knew one of his arguments was the old world “I’m the head of the family and so I control the money” argument. We knew modern women wouldn’t put up with that shit.
We wanted women who were educated/successful because we needed them to not balk at the money. Although not Bill Gates large, the numbers were large enough. What we didn’t want was to have jurors just look at the proceeding as 2 spoiled brats fighting over an inheritance.
We wanted machismo men because if there’s one thing machismo men believe over taking care of their women (however that definition is actualiced in individual cases), is that weak men who are little bitches don’t deserve shit and aren’t to be trusted.
And it worked. The decision was ultra-quick (less than 2 hours from dismissal to the jury room to the verdict being read out in our favor).
BTW, if you are a potential juror coming into this situation I’m sure you would have no problem staying completely impartial.
I’m sure all those fences and barricades are just there to make sure the Proud Boys and Qanon don’t try to take over, inaugurate Trump and make Minneapolis the new Capitol.
*forwards comment to 8chan*
Weeding out people who haven’t heard about this case is the equivalent of selecting for pathological liars.
I would probably be fine until this question:
What is your primary source of news?
Answer: glibertarians.com
I mean, what can you possibly answer to this question that would not indicate to one side or the other that you are biased. Even having “No Opinion” is considered wrong by one side.
I couldn’t find the answer in a 10 second DDG search, but I wonder if those questionnaires are considered public documents. So even if you don’t get picked your answers might find a way to totally fuck your life over.
Yes, they do. You are the subjects, and they are the rulers.

Bill Maher & Charlamagne Tha God Argue About Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s Sexual Misconduct Allegations On HBO’s ‘Real Time’
Maher with a great mental gymnastics routine.
Would you respect Maher more or less if he just came out and said “Look, we couldn’t take on Tara Reade claim, because Biden was the best shot at getting rid of Trump, and if that means letting this slide, then so be it?”
Because i don’t think i would. So what can Maher say that would be good in this situation. He can’t admit to that, so he has to try to play Gymnastics.
Its in situations like this that i like to reference the Bourne series “Look what they make you give”.
I would respect him more than I do now, at least. He’s taking a scummy position either way, but in your scenario he’s at least being honest about it.
It’s the same with the Never Trump crew who spent the better part of a year talking about what a swell guy Biden is. I know those people know what a sack of shit Biden has always been. Just say “Yes, he sucks, but I hate Trump enough that I’m willing to back this sack of shit to replace him”. I won’t agree with you, but I won’t think you’re a baldfaced liar either.
Nobody asking what comes after Cuomo?

I’m hearing on the Tweeters that Croatia is a COVID haven of sanity.
* adds to retirement list *
(also, Croatia is the only country in the region that is rich and stable enough not to have a USAID mission)
how exactly do you define the region cause slovenia is next to croatia and richer
Slovenia isn’t “Balkan” enough. It is practically Austria!
OK they don’t have a USAID mission either. But Serbia, Kosovo, Albania, Bosnia, and North Macedonia do.
What about Montenegro?
They did, but they’re not active anymore.
My luck would have me getting jumped late at night leaving a bar and having the armed guy ask me: You a Croat, Bosnian or Serb?
With a sigh of relief, I’d say “None of the above, I’m a Minnesodan!”
Then the guy with the gun would say “Damn, that must make me the luckiest Packer Backer in the world”
Speaking of, I hear Kyle Rudolph is on the market now. First viking I actually wouldn’t mine if he signed in Green Bay since Robert Smith (although we had Levens back then) or Kleinsasser (although we had William Henderson at the time)
We’ve considered getting a place there since we kind of speak the language. Beautiful country, and hopefully they are done with their civil wars. But there was that one time looking for lodging where the owner of the house berated me and my friends when he found out we were Americans wondering why we didn’t come to bomb the Serbs. We decided to stay elsewhere.

HR: Larry, we need to talk to you about some of your comments to the women who work here.
Larry: What are you talking about? All I said was that their hair smelled nice
HR: Yeah. You’re a midget Larry….
The sad thing is that if you asked me, i’d agree with Maher in that harrasment can vary. Right. Telling a woman co-worker she looks pretty every day, can be a form of harrasment, but i’d say is not as bad as making suggestive jokes about her. But i feel compeled to push Maher to live in the bed he has been a part of making. This is the world you like, so live in it, and be called out on it.
Besdies, ASAIK, the things Biden were accused of reached actual Sexual Assault allegations, not just harassment.
Absolutely agree that there is a continuum when it comes to harassment. There is also a continuum when it comes to the credibility of the accusers.
Tara Reade always seemed a bit iffy to me when it came to credibility. I’m OK with Dems defending Biden by pointing that out. But then they need to be consistent and agree that Kavanaugh gets the same benefit of the doubt.
The idea that any woman making an accusation against a man is above reproach and cannot be questioned was one of the stupidest things that came out of the PoundMeToo movement.

RACISTS
Swiss voters approved a proposition Sunday banning facial coverings in public. Niqabs and burqas, worn by almost no one even among the country’s Muslim population, will be banned outside of religious institutions. The new law doesn’t apply to facial coverings for health reasons.
Switzerland will join several European countries that have implemented a ban on facial coverings, including France, Denmark, the Netherlands and Austria.
The new legislation was brought to the ballot through a people’s initiative launched by the nation’s right-wing Egerkingen Committee, the same group that led the charge to ban minarets over a decade ago, the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation reported. In 2017, the group presented over 100,000 signatures to the government and demanded the issue be brought to a national vote.
The Swiss government opposed the nationwide initiative as excessive and argued such bans should be decided by individual regions, two of which already have a “burqa ban” in place.
The ban barely passed a majority vote, with 51.2% of the Swiss voting in support of the proposal. Only six of the country’s cantons, similar to states, voted against the proposition, according to the SBC.
Those crazy Swiss. At least we still have Placebo Kabuki.
And NPR zeroes in on the tenuousness of a razor thin majority. They do when they disapprove of the outcome, anyway.
Is “zeroes in” racist? It’s so hard to know, anymore.
I’m opposed to this shit, because it is oppressive, and evil. And it amazes me that NPR will probably run a piece right after this one discussing why Americans have such a big “Racist” problem, as opposed to the enlightened Europeans.
Yeah, I didn’t see this sort of thing spreading beyond France. But here we are.
I am against it being a law, but think hiding your face should be against the cultural norms. But, now it’s COVID world, so WTF do I know?

We figured you were dragging your way through dinner yesterday. How did it go?
It went well. Mom went and got the shots, dad is avoiding them. No masks being worn in the house. My sister didn’t bring up anything about them or the lockdowns. Nephews both grew about a foot since the last time I saw them (they’re both taller then the girlfriend now) and should be starting in person school again today.
they’re both taller then the girlfriend now
Low bar. She’s even shorter than Banjos, I think.

Very high BACs. Next time that happens, text SP, she’s usually on pretty late and can verbally prod whichever drunk is hosting.

Interesting interview by Taibbi.
Gurri: First, I hold that Trump was a symptom — an effect rather than a cause.
Bada-bing. The media establishment has studiously ignored this fact for many years now because it’s inconvenient for them. While there are of course a number of people who are devotees of Trump the man, the bulk of his support stemmed from his role as a symbolic rejection of the traditional political order. Since that rejection is also an indictment of the media establishment as well as the political establishment, they really don’t want to admit it.
This is Taibbi in first person discussing covering Trump in Iowa in ’16 (subscriber article):
Taibbi still has enough journalist blood in him to have the MSM reaction, but he’s been honest enough about getting beyond that prejudice/ignorance.
I’m reading Taibbi’s book Hate Inc. now. I kind of wish I hadn’t started, since I had thought of him as an honest lib, but in the book he repeats the Charlottesville hoax, decries the superficiality of the media yet still engages in name calling, and thinks that in the old days the media was not biased. I guess he’s more honest than most, but he still has his blind spots. Given that he’s a lefty I probably should have expected to disagree with a lot of what he writes.
Well a month after telling restaurants they can reopen in Bucharest they no closed it again and reintroduced the restriction again going outside of your home between 23:00 and 5:00 unless you have a good reason. Although some are pushing to get that down to 22:00. Cinemas and theaters are also closed again. Bucharest passed the dreaded 3 new cases people per 1000 for the last fortnight.
The gyms are still open though.
I am generally not around for glibfit but whenever I read it Monday morning I am always amused at the concept of paying what seems to be 1250 Lei for a skipping rope “bundle”
I will admit that at first blush I was thinking something similar. But after reading through it and thinking about it I could see myself ordering a set too. It would be very easy to take along on trips to keep my fitness going where there are few/no other options.
I am sure cheaper weighted skipping ropes are out there. Also crossrope has very aggressive marketing which makes me believe it is quite overpriced, it is a pattern in fitness.
Yeah, there could be cheaper options. I would probably search a bit before ordering – but I wouldn’t feel ripped off if that was the best package for the range of weights available.
I missed this letter from King Walz where he lays out his criteria for ending his emergency powers.
Before he can lay down his heavy burden, he will need the legislature to pass laws codifying all of his emergency decrees. Because that is democracy I guess.

I’ll give Google credit. Getting off of their services is not that easy.

Its actually impossible unless you don’t use the internet. They have salted the web with so many scripts that most websites don’t even function if you block Google scripts.
I just watched Coming 2 America. It has it’s moments. I’m not a reactionary, so even though some of the messages in the film have been stuffed down our throats, it fit the story, so meh. But no mention of the evils of hereditary rule, just who should be counted as eligible for it gets it a downgrade on a philosophical front. Over her entire career Leslie Jones has had only one character, and it is an annoying one, no different here.

I’ll watch it then, was kind of afraid it’d ruin the first one for me.
I watched the initial trailer and thought it really had promise, then watched the long trailer on Amazon and realized it wasn’t going to live up to my expectations.
I had no expectations beyond, ‘I’m drunk, an Eddie Murphey movie on a service I already pay for, why not’. To be sure, some of the best moments were in the trailers, but except the Dolomite movie this may be the best Eddie Murphey movie in near 20 years. Sure, some of the best moments were call backs to other characters and the plot is pretty much just a reversal of the first film, but it’s better than ‘A Thousand Words’ or ‘Daddy Day Care’…
“Bowfinger” is highly underrated
Bowfinger was 99, so that falls within my parameters of good Eddy Murphey.
“When Google employees complained to human resources about racism or sexism at work, they were advised to seek mental health care or go on a medical leave
Sources described how Google HR made them feel like they were the problem.”
https://twitter.com/aprilaser/status/1368586607117234180
was this actual racism/sexism or pretend?
From reading the story, what you have is an employee who has a make-work job with no value added to the company, an attitude, and an inability to get along with anyone. But it’s not her fault, it’s all those other people.
Cruz, who is Mexican American and prefers to be identified by the pronouns they/them, – honestly I kind of stopped here
Urge Cruz to take medical leave and tend to their mental health before moving to a new role in the company. Cruz went on medical leave, and hoped to take the company up on its offer for a new position, they said. But Cruz was turned down from every role they applied for, so they were forced to quit.
Gah, it hurts to read.
Cruz, who is Mexican American
If that description is going to be used at all, it should be used for dual citizens.
Tough to say. Were they complaining about anti-white racism? Because I could absolutely see Google telling people complaining about that they are mentally ill.
Do that where I work, and the answer is a smile and, “The gate is there and you’re not locked in.”

UNDER/OVER RATED Q&A ON NUTRITION & TRAINING STRATEGIES. FT. Menno Henselmans
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zn48wub3IY&t=1684s
short comments on many fitness topics with timestamps
EF and I recently decided to cut down on the drinking of spirits, switching to a 15-pack of beer for the weekend.
I’m a pretty big fan of Founder’s but their Solid Gold beer tastes like, well, Molson or Labatts, or any other generic weak-kneed lager. Time to break out the Black Label!
It certainly reduced my urge to drink alcohol.
I’ve decided I need to cut out the nightcap. I tried cutting it down, but then started topping it off. Which likely resulted in more booze than when I decided to cut back.
Starting tonight, no mas.
Pray for me.
I went from a nightcap to an end-of-working-day drink around 6pm. Did wonders for my sleep patterns.

You will notice I have removed the “updated” custom avatar plugin and installed a different solution.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
All’s good. Thanks for the attention.
“ Sorry for the inconvenience.“
Don’t even sweat it, SP. I’m amazed that you keep the site running so well. You got mad skills! And I’m truly thankful for all your effort and for the awesome site you built.
And my avatar changed back to Pete Shelley. Today is a good day.
Mine’s not changing again. You guy’s gave me shit over it.
D’ammit!
The previous plugin created a different file directory and naming convention for avatars. This solution uses different WP avatar functions which are pulling the avatars from a different database table.
So only those of us who are secure in our self identification as a pair of Aviator sunglasses are immune? Sounds #Science to me.
Thanks for the work, SP!
Good opportunity to change mine again
muwhahahaha
Thanks, SP!
It’s AMAZING how much I’ve come to depend on the avatars to tell me who’s talking.
It’s easier to recognize an image that to sift the text.
Yep. Now I need to go back to monkey brain.
I missed this avatar!
Thanks for everything, SP!
You rock.
Thanks SP!
Thanks a bunch, SP!
Ah! So THIS is the avatar it reverted to! I can live with this happily at least until I can get home to my laptop. I don’t foresee TOO many complaints.
You’re just drawn that way.
Thank god for engineers that developed the TCAS system. When humans are dicking around bored because they have little traffic to deal with that is when the sky was almost raining down aircraft parts.

For Viva, the girlfriend and I usually fly in the Wednesday before, and leave the Tuesday after. As it currently stands, that’s September 8th through the 14th. If you’re going to try to make it to the event, I believe they’ve got a limited amount of tickets on sale now. If you just want to check out a single day, the Car Show day is the one to get a ticket for. That’s where the headliners are playing, as well as a large amount of vendors.
::Thumbs Up:: Okay we were thinking of doing the whole show weekend, still not sure yet though. The four-day package isn’t a bad price.
Meh, if nothing else meet at the Fat Burger on the strip and go out and then go get some yarder Margaritas.
Yeah. To get into any of the bars or the vendor rooms at the Orleans you need a wristband. I’m mildly concerned that they don’t have any bands listed for this year yet, but I’ve not been disappointed in past years.
I’m also going to guess there’s going to be a lot less overseas visitors to Viva this year as well.
Murder! Mayhem!
About 50 people were vaccinated Saturday at a site in south Florida despite not being eligible, according to a Federal Emergency Management Agency spokesperson.
It all began when “some individuals” arrived at a vaccination site in Florida City, about 40 miles south of Miami, and told staff they were health care workers, FEMA spokesperson Marty Bahamonde told CNN on Sunday.
Staff asked them for proof of their status, but “they were unable to validate that they were health care workers,” Bahamonde said.
“So the staff, trusting them and taking their word for it instead of turning them away, they gave them the vaccine,” Bahamonde said. “Those people then went out and told their friends, ‘Hey, I went in and just said this and got a free vaccine.’ And more and more people started to come in and then the word got out that people were getting vaccine who didn’t meet the governor’s criteria.”
Obviously, de Santis wants everybody to die.
Also, TRUMP.
They’re having no questions asked vac clinics in my area too. As long as the people who want one can receive one who cares?
Our motto is “An arm is an arm.” Of course, we comply with Gov. Ducey’s (Idiot-AZ) mandates. We had a pop-up clinic in a poor Hispanic neighborhood. The priorities were healthcare, over 75, pubsec, and Native American. So when people would show up who didn’t qualify, we’d repeat “Native American” and ask them again (and again) if they were sure they didn’t qualify. Some took the hint, some didn’t.
Cuba?
As a native born Miamian, I too questioned this.
It’s less than 30 miles by the shortest (though likely slowest) route.
As the bird travels would be well under that.
But in no fucking universe is Florida City 40 miles south of Miami.
Here’s what happened – Someone went to google maps and asked for directions from miami to florida city. They got center to center distances of 38.7 miles by the default route.
*the default route includes some driving west before turning south, and is not direct.
That’s High Quality Journalism-ing, ain’t it?
“Those people”? Who are “those people”???
You know, them.
Robert Downey Jr?
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Don’t be sorry. Some of us couldn’t website our way out of a bowl of banana pudding.
Biden ?
I’m a pretty big fan of Founder’s but their Solid Gold beer tastes like, well, Molson or Labatts, or any other generic weak-kneed lager. Time to break out the Black Label!</em.
I haven't seen it lately (also haven't looked), but I like Guinness Blonde, now and then. It might be a bit less weak at the knees.
As long as the people who want one can receive one who cares?
What sort of monster would ask a question like that?
What about teh victim bingo?
But Cruz was turned down from every role they applied for, so they were forced to quit.
“Sorry, I’ve got more than enough dead weight around here already. You take it.”
So is this the ugliest shrimp and kimchi egg fried rice ever or could it be worse?

Needs some hot sauce, but otherwise edible.
there was some blackout sriracha in there
If the hot sauce doesn’t change the color of the entire dish, you haven’t added enough.
“It turned teal.”
“Okay, that might be a bit much.”
Is teal considered a green or a blue?
So when people would show up who didn’t qualify, we’d repeat “Native American” and ask them again (and again) if they were sure they didn’t qualify. Some took the hint, some didn’t.
“As a matter of fact, I WAS born here.”
“Herd immunity don’t care.”
The most recent Darkhorse Podcast is quite good.
Loose the Seuss.
They are pretty honest lefties who are strong critics of the woke bullshit. She gets on my nerves sometimes, but they are solid thinkers.
Recommended.
“They are pretty honest lefties” “they are solid thinkers” does not compute…
strong critics of the woke bullshit – I assume because it distracts from old fashioned socialism
If that’s easier for you, roll with it.
I enjoy their work. I haven’t been listening long, but they are actual scientists who are comfortable calling out the anti-science shit being shoved down our collective throats.
I am familiar with Brett’s work he has a net footprint
Speaking of wokeness and herd immunity – intersecting even!

Trending in the US? They are a bit late, or are they talking about the imperial presidency?
Americans might be more obsessed with the royals than Englanders at this point.
IIRC, Americans have always been oddly obsessed with the royals. Many’s a time during my life when I’d be watching some Canadian legacy media report over a royal visit to the ‘States and detect the puzzled tone of everyone in the story when noting the reactions of the Americans to the visit. During those times, the Americans were more Canadian than the Canadians.
Americans are obsessed with celebrities.
