A proper shitlord.
Yes, Christmas is almost here, with New Year’s hot on its heels, and then this flaming dumpster fire of a year will be over.
Let’s see what’s going on!
We’re about to party like it’s 2019.
But they’re handbags are REALLY nice.
I wonder how many babies have been made in a Tesla on autopilot?
It’s Germany, do they have a poop Jesus?
Okay, enough silliness. All y’alls have a great evening.
They Are Handbags?
What a pluot. What a Maroon.
The “Tesla baby,” as nurses call her, was born in Philadelphia while her mother was in a Tesla that was driving itself on the Tesla Autopilot system.
And here I thought that pickup trucks were the vehicles of choice for laborers.
Teslas autopilot is for conception. The pickup will be for delivery
Easier to rinse out.
If I could get my truck to service me, instead of me always servicing my truck…
My links were better. And First.
It’s comical to me that these retired generals have so much concern. There’s going to be split loyalties? Newsflash, asshole – 70% or more of the people who served you disagree with your politics. These assholes are talking about weeding out soldiers based on personal political beliefs. Spying on service members, creating lists and getting rid of them. Hey, they’re just “fortifying” democracy in their eyes…
They WANT a war. That’s the only way to interpret their gibberish.
Frag em.
No, this is a political cover assignment… And not their first.
Remember the 50 former intelligence officials who certified that the Hunter Biden laptop was a Russian disinformation campaign?
Or the professor who told us in the summer of 2020 that on election night Trump would appear to win by a landslide, but in the end Biden would win in a landslide?
Or….
It is all psy-ops, all the way down these days. From Q on the right to soldiers telling us to purge the ranks of the military (again) on the left.
These are not original thoughts, and they are not being published haphazardly. They are preparing the ground.
Everyone not of the left needs to pull together and overwhelm the system the next 2 elections, or we are done. expect massive interference in the primaries to disrupt this possibility.
Absolutely correct. No one who has degraded our military capability in the name of workness and before that equality, conspired with foreign powers, refused lawful orders, been insubordinate to the civilian leadership and oversight of the armed forces, or refused to restore order in the face of actual no shit insurrection, has been held to account.
I miss David Hackworth. The man was a hypocritical assholes but he was often right, including calling the general officer corps “perfumed princes”.
Officers are typically synonymous with woke college crap. They tend to be more detached from reality the higher ranking they are and have never worked a day in the civilian sector.
Someone lit the Winston signal.
From the UK omicron link:
“Mr Khan warned the city could run out of police officers, firefighters and NHS workers due to the rapidly rising cases forcing thousands of front-line workers into isolation.”
No, they’re being forced into isolation because of the idiotic public health pronouncements.
And BBC won’t let it go either. From the promo line to their latest Global News Podcast: “Omicron variant appears milder [in South Africa], but it’s still unclear whether that will be mirrored elsewhere.” GFY
Beyond reports of mild illness…uh, has there been anything else?
FEAR!
“NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise…surprise and fear…fear and surprise…. Our two weapons are fear and surprise…and ruthless efficiency…. Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency…and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope…. Our *four*…no… *Amongst* our weapons…. Amongst our weaponry…are such elements as fear, surprise…. I’ll come in again.”
Swiss is exactly right.
Hiya Spud!
Thanks for delivering the lynx – on time, on topic and with impeccable style.
…and then this flaming dumpster fire of a year will be over.
Remember when we thought that about 2020? Good times.
I’m actually feeling kind of positive about 2022.
I’m sure it will pass.
https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-biden-to-announce-new-covid19-measures-stark-warning-unvaccinated-americans
I will be losing my wife next year. It’s already passed.
Oh dude. I’m so sorry to hear that.
I’m sorry Spud.
Whut!
Reply only if you care to.
sorry, Spud. It must be awful.
So sorry to hear that, Spuddy. You have good friends IRL and all of us are always here for you, too.
Oh, Spud. I’m so sorry.
Sorry to hear that, Spud. Let us know if there’s anything we can do.
WTF?
Sorry Spud.
Ugh. Condolences.
Damn Spud, I’m really sorry. That disease is a fucking terrible one. Lost my dear grandmother to it, can only imagine the suck if it was my spouse.
I am sorry to hear that Spud. Condolences and best wishes for you both.
Dude, I am so sorry.
I’m so sorry Spud.
What all the others have said goes for me as well. We’re here to listen
and do what we can.
Sorry Spud. That sucks
So sorry, Spud
WTF? I had no idea, so sorry.
Sorry Spud. While it is terrible news, with what you and your wife have been through, perhaps it is a blessing.
My 2020 was way worse than this year for other reasons. Like, country-song worse.
I can see 2022 going either way, depending largely on how stoopid the government chooses to be.
It’s like you don’t watch the news.
No. The government will take the retardation to 11. If even a small fraction of sensible people resist, it’s all over.
That’s the open question.
I suppose the suckitude will be heavily location-specific.
2022 may be the year of NYexit.
At least the competing states are numerous where you are.
Yeah, but most of them are just as bad as New York.
That’s what I was telling my barber yesterday. This whole thing is just massive social signaling that has caught the rest of us in its trap.
We really need to do lunch counter work, a la the breaking of jim crow.
Have we got a name for Covid-4, soon to be announced? Surely we can’t stop at 3. Won’t someone think about the drug manufacturers? After all the flu keeps coming back but never gets a new name.
Maybe a contest for naming, winner gets a lifetime vaccination program for free.
“Have we got a name for Covid-4…”
Tyranny
I was thinking the same thing.
So double down jump rope?
I’m calling bullshit on the Witcher show. When I played the games I banged anything in site and this isn’t being portrayed at all.
One of my kids told me (so it must be true) that the Netflix show is based on the books, not the video games. So apparently that’s causing some confusion.
I mean, there were books? Who knew?
“Books? We have books…..”
Eloi
Are they worth playing?
Yes
I need a clarification. Was this banging in-game or did you gamer prowess somehow get you layed? Oh, nevermind. [cruel, mocking laughter]
?
Yes
I see what you did there.

We don’t even get a Zoom tonight, on the last Saturday before Christmas? I am offering people a chance to be blessed by my presence before the holiday, and no one can even be bothered to host a Zoom. Well, goodbye then.
Well….bye
Ha!
Pssst, I think he’s gone, go ahead and light the Zoom candle.
Well, Bye
Don’t think it hasn’t been a little slice of heaven! Cuz it hasn’t.
Sick burn!

That gestating first is starting to fuck with you hormones.

Oh, ye of litttle faith.
Of course there will be a Glibs Happy Hour Zoom tonight. I’ll kick things off at 20:00 Eastern.
Brochetta live must be fun.
For his cam-whore subscribers?

He always just lurks. Kinda creepy.

I have never seen Bro turn his camera or microphone on. He is a zoom chatter. Some do that and of those Nick is the best because he is pissed off. Bro is just lame.
I think Nick has sound restrictions, like he has to be quiet where he is,or something like that.
I thought he was just too lazy/cheap to buy a microphone.
He’s a fed.

They can thank their nearest hotel worker union for that.
They’re trying to kill the industry in NYC too.

Geez… Biden’s really moved on from just sniffing hair.
In addition to the sniffing
Hateful!
Morning thread was nearly dead when I put this up, so I’ll do it again:

He’s got a good channel if you enjoy engineering.
Yeah, I’ve been watching his other videos and stumbled across this one. He does some real cool stuff.
I’m with Tundra, I think 2022 is going to be a vast improvement on the last couple. People are fucking fed up with a lot of the Vid bullshit and the excesses of the left. I’m up in the Sierras right now with the wife, drinking a beer and checking the Glibs while she showers. First weekend away from the kids in five years. We skied real hard today, there was about six feet of global warming that dumped this past week. Today was glorious, blue skies and cold in the mountains. On the way up here we stopped at a Bass Pro Shop and 75% of the people in it were ignoring Guv Greaseball’s new mask order. It was lovely to see.
…while she showers.
Boss.
It was lovely to see.
Fuck yes. It’s happening here, too.
It’s too bad that Guv Kathy doesn’t have a noticeable personality to mock. Maybe one will develop.
That eyeliner, oy.
For WS: How many words / grafs in fair use?
Hawaii Is No Paradise if You Need Medical Care
High taxes contribute to a shortage of doctors while certificate-of-need laws crimp capacity.
By Keli‘i Akina
Dec. 3, 2021 6:12 pm ET
Hawaii has among the fewest hospital beds per capita of any state and the 10th longest emergency-room wait times. For years it has wrestled with a severe doctor shortage and a lack of specialty care in its rural areas. These shortages are the result of decades of high taxes, voluminous regulations and certificate-of-need laws.
Certificate-of-need laws require any investors wishing to build a new medical facility to prove there is a “need” for it. In Hawaii, existing medical facilities are given the chance to argue against any potential new kid on the block. This is like letting Burger King testify on whether the community needs a new McDonald’s. Not surprisingly, existing service providers generally oppose the construction of new facilities.
Since 2006, Hawaii officials have denied 24 certificate-of-need petitions, representing $200 million in private healthcare investment. The denied applications include three medical facilities that would have added 206 beds, increasing hospital capacity by 8%. According to the Mercatus Center, Hawaii would have 14 additional healthcare facilities and $219 less annual per capita healthcare spending if not for its certificate-of-need requirements.
Hawaii isn’t the only state with such requirements. At one time every state but Louisiana had them. But since Congress repealed the federal mandate and funding for them in 1986, their popularity has waned. Thirty-five states and the District of Columbia currently require certificates of need, with many taking steps to liberalize their laws. But Hawaii’s requirements are among the strictest, covering everything from hospital expansions to substance-abuse centers and home healthcare.
Even before the pandemic began, experts estimated the state needed 800 additional doctors and about 2,200 nonphysician healthcare personnel. Hawaii is a high-tax state, making it difficult to attract talented physicians from the mainland. This year the state Legislature considered a bill to increase Hawaii’s personal income-tax rate for those earning more than $200,000 to 16%. The bill didn’t pass, but it set off alarms among many physicians who already had been considering retiring early or leaving the state.
A pyramiding general excise tax adds thousands of dollars to the average doctor’s medical-practice expenses. This tax is especially a problem for private-practice physicians. Under federal law, they can’t pass its costs on to Medicaid or Medicare patients, and have to pay it out of their own pockets. Combined with Hawaii’s already-low Medicare reimbursement rates, the general excise tax provides doctors with a further incentive to leave the state.
If for-profit medical providers were exempted from the general-excise tax, they would save $200.3 million. If that exemption led an additional 820 physicians to set up shop in the state, it would result in an increase of almost 4,000 full-time positions in the industry and $1.4 billion in additional economic activity. Easing Hawaii’s certificate-of-need laws and tax burden wouldn’t fix the state’s healthcare problems overnight, but it would help improve care, cost and access in the long term—and help it be better prepared for the next public health threat.
Mr. Akina is president and CEO of the Grassroot Institute of Hawaii.
(I tried to do the Send thing but computer said no.)
The Grassroot Institiute does good work out here. VERY freedom focused. I have attended a few of their functions and they were good in person as well in my limited contact.
Despite sailing today and tomorrow in wonderful conditions and have fetching your women spinnaker fly with us today this state issues. And on Festivus they will hear them from me.
“…fetching young women…”
Pictures. Pictures of said woman would be good here.
The two worst states for hospital rooms per cap are Washington and Oregon. I was relating this to the wife and she was fairly aghast. She had also never heard of Certificat of Need. This was poison to her liberal ears.
WA has the audacity to blame ID for swamping their hospitals.
Nuh uh. Oregon has fewer beds because the state chose to focus on preventative and primary care.
https://katu.com/news/on-your-side/covid-hospitalizations-strained-under-bedded-oregon-healthcare-systems
?♂️
Barely an alluded mention at the very bottom to certificate of need.
NoDak thankfully does not have CON laws. So, when a new hospital wanted to move into town the existing hospital tried to turn public opinion against it hoping to spur the city council to stop it. They failed. I can’t remember the details because it was obvious horseshit, but their main claim was that another hospital in town would raise costs…because that’s how competition works, or something.
We it would raise costs to them if they’d have to finally provide services at a level they’d not bothered with when they had a monopoly.
“The goal should be to identify, isolate and remove potential mutineers; guard against efforts by propagandists who use misinformation to subvert the chain of command; and understand how that and other misinformation spreads across the ranks after it is introduced by propagandists”
Do you even purge bro?
I want to know do they even look in a mirror.
Only to shave and look like prepubescent boys.
Spud’s slutty, salacious Silicone Saturday.

My requirement for Saturday evenings is balanced athletic women.
That article in the WSJ by the generals is the trial balloon for using the DoD against the citizenry. The woke twats are just DYING to see if the newly cleansed military – purged of those who would stand up to illegal orders – will respond and take a giant piss on posse comitatus. That’s why they keep lying and lying and calling Jan 6 an “insurrection” – that’s how they’ll elide posse comitatus. They’re so predictably shitty.
The gaslighting, the “up is down,” “men are women,” is always for a purpose. We’ll have another “fortified” election and then the military will get called in when the proles get uppity and refuse to believe that Kamala got 85MM votes.
Their fundamental problem is that the soldiers who would ‘stand up to illegal orders’, are also the soldiers who are effective fighters. Purge the military of those men, and you end up with a well-funded goon squad.
That’s what they want.
My old unit was a BSB. A bunch of non combat arms guys and whores. Some of my army buddies talked about illegal orders. We came to the conclusion that in my unit nearly all of the leadership E6 and up would fire on civilians given the chance. They had a spoken disdain for civilians and more for armed and voting civilians.
We estimated that a little over half of the E5 and down group wouldn’t and only about twenty of us would resist them.
I had that discussion a couple years ago with a friend. I think the GIs are gonna do what their sergeant tells them to do.
The vast majority of them will.
Gladly.
Yes, particularly when it’s framed in right way. The Hugh Thompsons are unfortunately rare and the bureaucracy will do everything it can to curb stomp them when they demonstrate moral courage.
Talk is cheap. 19 year olds getting into dick measuring contests about how they’ll smoke fools like in CoD is one thing, gunning down Mr. and Mrs. Baker in their quiet suburb because they had a Don’t Tread on Me flag or a Trump bumper sticker is a different matter.

‘Tis true…
@Spud, been right there Buddy, call me if you need a hand or a shoulder,
I have got to get rid of FB.
I was cleaning out emails today, as I do at the end of the year, which means I export emails to clients’ folders. I also do this for people who contacted me but didn’t hire me. So I exported the emails of a potential client, ABC.
Then tonight I go to FB and in the “People you may know” section, who shows up? ABC, a rando who contacted me about ebook formatting but passed, but whose emails I just HAPPENED to be sorting today. It ALSO showed me an actual former client of mine whose emails I was not sorting, but who was in my file tree.
I understand how predictive ads work and why Target might know your daughter is pregnant before you do.
But this can’t be anything but FB being deep in my computer. Now I gotta get it out.
I doubt FB is deep in your computer. This sort of thing is most likely a coincidence.
Unless cleaning out your emails is web-based and FB is tracking that. Which is easy to block with settings in your browser and/or ad blockers.
PS. I would drop FB anyway, if only for sanity’s sake.
I don’t believe in that many, and that specific, coincidences. I am Moriah Jovan on FB, who has no connection to these people.
I dunno. All o’ y’all keep mentioning these types of things that have never happened to me. *shrug*
PPS. The reason FB might be tracking web-based stuff is because the website you’re working with would choose to reach out to FB.
See also Google Analytics.
They can’t just plant tracking stuff on random websites without their cooperation.
And they can’t run shit on your computer without your permission, if your security is set up properly. Like my computer won’t allow any executable to run without my permission.
Those emails probably had tracking gifs for Facebook analytics.
Facebook is malware. It’s why I keep them blocked at the DNS level. I’d block them at an IP level if I had better data.
“Facebook is malware.”
This I believe. I have never had an account there.
Tap, tap, tap, is this thing on?
Good morning to all, even those that stayed up late, chatting on Zoom. A fine day it is, in spite of all of life’s incidentals.
A cup of coffee, a fire in the little stove, the Missus still asleep, no cats/dogs/critters that need attention. Jimmy Stewart and me, against the world.
Good morning, 4(20), Sean, & NA!
In my case, it’s a mug of chai latte, the Mister still asleep…and probably at least one cat that will demand my attention. ?
I was looking forward to some fried meatloaf and eggs. The I discovered I had only one egg. Guess I know what I’m having for lunch.
…and Vox Choral on the satellite radio! ? ?
Lily has woken up, we won’t be going to the dog park just yet. Gotta wait until more people get there.
No fun without the other doggies?
Nope. She can play with me at home. Plus other doggies inspire her to play beyond the point where she’s decide to take a break with me, so she’s more worn out.

I’m sorry, Fourscore, I’m afraid I can’t do that.
