OK, I’ll admit to being a bit more depressed than usual, but still, I feel the need to hoist the black flag and begin slitting throats. Or more aptly, feeding a woodchipper. The Teams have an iron grip, and changing from one to the other won’t change a damn thing other than giving an illusion of change (what was the increase in debt from 2017-2021? Do we still have Obamacare? Has there been any slowdown in the growth of DHS, NSA, DEA, FBI,?). We’re just fucked. Gord has it right, and I pray that we’re not too far gone to really shake shit up. But I don’t think it’s going to happen, we’re far and away most likely to be past the point of no return. But at least the Canadians have shown that you can engender at least a minor degree of hesitancy, and you can show unambiguously the corruption, evil, and stupidity of our “leaders.” So we got that goin’ for us. Which is nice.
Speaking of nice, the inevitable birthdays include a guy who always makes me hungry when I read his stuff; someone whose example should have been followed by every First Lady; the greatest American artist, in both senses of that phrase; a mixed bag, but generally a good guy on the Supreme Court (who, in his favor, despised Hugo Black); a guy who, before he went coocoo for Cocoa Puffs, was solid; a guy who fit right in to the Chicago mayoral traditions; a guy who provided fodder for Tom Wolfe; one of the few women who didn’t fuck Captain Kirk; a musician whose lionization I still don’t understand; a pitcher who took losing very seriously; a guy who is famous because… actually, it escapes me; and a decent wide receiver, but no Jerry Rice.
Whatever, there’s Links.

I would like to thank Dana Snyder for graciously viewing our fine site and saying some words after I paid him. Glibertarian to the core, he is.
If he enjoys our little group its must be genuine. I doubt you paid extra for false accolades.
whores provide valuable services!
Damn straight!
I missed last night’s post due to a late party. Thanks for everything you do! I lurked for about three years before I finally commented, then contributed by posting. Seeing all the effort you and others put into the site made me want to post.
Keep it up RJ. I would never have seen The Hebrew Hammer if it wasn’t for you.
Yes.
One of my wife’s and I’s first dates was a Halloween party, where I went as the Hebrew Hammer.

Thank you for all your work for the site, RJ. You Glibs know him through GlibFit but he’s working on some behind-the-scenes editorial things as well. Much appreciated.
Ah so that’s where DHS got their “reports” of truckers blockading the super bowl.
Among the accusations leveled at that time was that suspicious DNS lookups by Russian-affiliated IP addresses “demonstrated Trump and/or his associates were using supposedly rare, Russian-made wireless phones in the vicinity of the White House and other locations,” the motion reportedly said.

and a decent wide receiver, but no Jerry Rice.
Jerry Rice fumbled.
Damn straight. But it was an errant whistle they said, and that ended the play. There was a play somewhere this season that went the opposite way, the ref accidently blew his whistle and the defense stopped, but they counted the resulting touchdown. Proffesionals.
Pulleeeeeeeeeeeaze.
Grandaddy Victim of all bad calls Nate Wright laughs at your pitiful whining. Not only did Nate get pushed from behind by the coward Drew Pearson, he also got jobbed the play before where they said the receiver would have come down in bounds on a fourth down play.

Since these independent grocers tend to have fewer resources and smaller budgets, they’re more affected by changes in price, which increase as supply dwindles. They’re also often in suburban, rural or Indigenous communities in Canada where they serve as one of the few or only sources of groceries.
“Independent grocers tend to be in communities where many times there’s not a chain retailer, they’re the only game in town, so when there are supply chain issues, it becomes more acute,” said Gary Sands, senior vice president of the Canadian Federation of Independent Grocers, or CFIG. “It can quickly become an issue of food security.”
Something something if they can’t cut it they don’t deserve to be in business. They should sell out to a megagrocer with the proper resources.
I had no idea you wrote for the Washington Post.
The trucker convoy blockade on the Ambassador Bridge is exacerbating an already tenuous situation for the roughly 6,900 independent grocers that exist across Canada, according to the CFIG. It’s yet another blow to an industry already under strain from the ongoing pandemic and broader supply chain issues.
It’s different when the government shuts them down. It’s for their own good.
The Government is doing it for your own good, the ‘Truckers’ (Russian Spies!) are doing it because Putin! But they are all unskilled, and unneeded, so them not doing their job doesn’t really matter, because reasons.

The United States denied Moscow’s claim Saturday that an American submarine was conducting operations in Russian territorial waters, breaking international law as tensions are high amid a possible invasion of Ukraine.
“There is no truth to the Russian claims of our operations in their territorial waters,” U.S. Navy Capt. Kyle Raines, a spokesperson for the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, said, according to Reuters. “I will not comment on the precise location of our submarines but we do fly, sail, and operate safely in international waters.”
Vladimir Putin’s government claimed the submarine ignored commands from the Russian navy via sonar to surface near the Kuril Islands in the Pacific Ocean early Saturday, forcing it to chase the U.S. vessel away using unnamed “appropriate means,” the Navy Times reported.
Keep it up. Keep pushing.
*Pushes up Navy Issued Glasses* Well, acshully…
“we do fly, sail, and operate safely”
Sometimes, anyway.

Yes, it’s all the truckers’ fault those poor indigenous grocers can’t stock their shelves. They’re just doing it out of hate. When government does it, it’s out of love.

Climatepocalypse
The current record for the highest temperature during a Super Bowl is 84 degrees set in 1973, a game that was also played in Los Angeles. However, it looks like this year’s game might pull off a quarterback sneak past that mark.
The forecast high temperature for Los Angeles on Sunday is 84 degrees. In Inglewood, the site of the Super Bowl, the forecast high temperature is 82 degrees. This means cracking the top 3 hottest Super Bowls on record is almost a certainty.
REPENT. The end is nigh.
If the trend continues and the Super Bowl ends up being played in June after a 27 week season plus two extra rounds of wild cards (i.e., losers), that record is definitely going to fall.
The 1973 Super Bowl was 1 full month earlier than this one, yet that appears nowhere in the article. That’s some real journalism by CNN.
The Super Bowl played the latest in the year in a warm location may be in the TOP 3 HOTTEST! #CLIMATEDISASTER!!!!!!!!1111!!!!!

State officials said at a news conference Friday that now is not the time to remove Oregon’s masking mandate given the current levels of coronavirus transmission, test positivity rates and hospitalizations.
But they said they are comfortable with their previously announced plan to lift the indoor masking mandate by the end of March because of current disease trends and modeling that predicts lifting the mandate at that time will not lead to significant outbreaks.
——-
Peter Graven, lead data scientist at Oregon Health and Science University, released his weekly COVID modeling update Thursday. It forecasts coronavirus hospitalizations declining to about 400 in seven weeks. His early projections of omicron’s peak hospitalization proved wildly inaccurate – nearly three times the actual peak – though he subsequently revised them sharply downward and said Oregonians’ behavior and compliance with COVID protocols had significantly reduced the surge.
The projections released Thursday showed that if Oregon were to lift the mask mandate, hospitalization numbers would go back up to 1,127. But that forecast appeared to be out of date already, as actual hospitalizations have already fallen well below the starting point of that projection.
“If not for us and our beneficent good judgement, you’d all be dead.”
When you’re authorianisming harder than New York, you know something’s off.
*insert missing syllable or two*
Sounds right to me.
His progjections have been off many times throughout and none of the local media will nail his and OHA’s ass to the wall. When it’s been wrong, they just go oh, it’s just for planning purposes, it’s not intended to be predictive.
The state “epidemiologist” is a pediatrician. This joker is a “health economist”.

Yeah, I was driving around the capital, Salem, yesterday and doing various business transactions, no one gave a shit I was unmasked, most people wearing them pulled them down below the nose, etc. The whole thing is a joke at this point, gov.

So that’s a municipal police force. If they are anything like DC there are also various specialized federal police forces, ie Capitol Police, Supreme Court Police, etc.
Also, there must be an RCMP unit assigned to that area, and there may also be provincial police.

“Rights”
Immunocompromised kids have a right to stay safe at school. That’s the argument in a new filing asking a federal judge to block Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s order to lose masks in the classroom, claiming it violates students’ civil rights.
The ACLU of Virginia is asking a federal judge to issue a temporary restraining order against the governor’s order to lift the mask mandate, arguing it keeps schools from complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Two of the immunocompromised kids behind the ACLU’s federal lawsuit live in Loudoun and Fairfax counties and are hoping for a ruling in their favor.
“Our clients, who all wear masks regularly, need other people around them to wear masks as well in order to keep them protected,” said Kaitlin Banner, who is on the legal team guiding the ACLU of Virginia.
I’ve been thinking. It’s not fair that blind people can’t get driver’s licenses. They have rights, too.
People allergic to daylight have rights to. That candle maker guy might have been on to something…
What about students in wheelchairs and their right to make the varsity basketball team? Has anyone thought about them?
What about students of average height and mediocre athletic ability?
JFC.
Glenn Youngkin’s order to lose masks in the classroom…
IIRC the executive order was to lift the mask mandates that many government schools had imposed, and allow parents to make their own choices about masks.
Put all the bubble babies into one classroom. Problem solved.
Couldn’t the immunocompromised kids wear N95 masks?
How will that help smash the patriarchy?
If your immune system is that damaged, then you need to be in clinical care.
If anyone is willing to host Glibserbowl Zoom tonight, I’m down. We’re switching our schedule structure at work to accommodate for being low staffed, because Joe Biden’s Economy is Amazeballs; so I found out only 2 days ago I have today off.
I don’t know TPTB structure; I don’t know who was there or who is in charge of Glib history. The best things at TOS suddenly went away, and someone was kind enough to point me here soon after. Suddenly, most things were better, and it’s been an oasis on good days and tolerable on bad.
The Teams have an iron grip, and changing from one to the other won’t change a damn thing other than giving an illusion of change (what was the increase in debt from 2017-2021? Do we still have Obamacare? Has there been any slowdown in the growth of DHS, NSA, DEA, FBI,?).
Exactly…except I caught a lot of grief from some Glibs for pointing out just this. No matter the alternatives, Trump proved he was a clown daily and in every way. I was told that part of the Glib movement was to escape TDS at TOS….okay, could be, I can’t write that history, but I didn’t vote for Hillary or Biden either: it’s okay to yell when a clown gets his face grease on you. I remember Juvenile Bluster trying to reconcile it all and giving up and going away: there was nothing to reconcile, JB; you’re not a bad guy for not sucking that glorious Trump cock. Assertive conservatarians get their say, but, like at Boy Scouts or church, they act like they own the place and everyone who says they’re wrong is paving the way for Stalin to cross the Rio Grande. Funny, on some occasions I have been told here that left/right isn’t helping….uh, yeah: I’ve known that (and written about that) instinctively from a much younger age than most; I would never make that point. We’re fucked, but the Republican fucking is better! Could be, but they’re still a shortbus full of unprincipled opportunists, same as the others.
We’re just fucked. Yes, let’s just stick with and agree on this. Happy birthday, Glibs.
Great rant! I gave up on the Republican party in 2006 and haven’t voted for either major party since. We all know what colors our states shades in particular areas. Our votes means fuck all. Even if they did it has become abundantly clear over the last few years that our elected representatives are just window dressing for a cabal of competing crime syndicates acting under the guise of legality.
Any support I had for Trump was driven mainly by the actions of the Dems and Media to bring him down.
I agree wholeheartedly that the man is a clown. Still he was an elected clown.
But yeah, I do agree that we are fucked. Even if there was some sort of major defeat for the Deep State, the $30T national debt is absolutely going to hamstring any small govt reformers who might get some power. And when things get shitty because of the reforms you know who will get the blame.
I would say Trump proved ineffective at his main purpose – “draining the swamp”. But I think he may have proven its impossible to do so – its too big and too powerful, because it’s not just pubsecs within the precincts of DC, it’s the crony capitalists, the Tech Lords, the dominant media/entertainment complex, academia, etc.
So, yeah, we’re fucked. Real reform isn’t possible, so that leaves, collapse/revolution.
“draining the swamp”
Jesse Ventura learned quickly.
Let’s have light rail and more money for schools. Both ideas have proved to be what we needed.

Maybe a person here and there standing up does make an impact.
We would never had the best president in US history, Donald Trump, without one of the worst Presidents, Obama.
Guess what will happen after America became a banana republic and el presidente Biden was installed in the White House? I bet we get Presidents that are even more on the side of America.
The world doesn’t have to be so black and white. I’m in the camp of one-party rule with most of the GOP playing the role of controlled opposition. I don’t need “suck glorious Trump cock” to recognize that the elites didn’t consider Trump part of their insider club and to enjoy when he pissed them off. It doesn’t make Trump a libertarian savior, but he was also different in that McCain, McConnell, etc. is no different than Hilary or Biden.
JB hurled nasty insults at several Glibs, and left with his panties in a twist when anyone dared disagreed with his position that all true libertarians believe X.
TBF, there was personal stuff going on with JB that he talked about when he briefly returned. No one should have been surprised when he left again. I’m not defending nor attacking JB, just saying there were other factors .
I agree with that. Just pointing out to Don that his characterization of JB being driven away by the horde of Glib trump lovers is, to put generously, idealistic at best.
This ^^^
Trump served a purpose and he indeed ultimately failed at most of what he claimed he wanted to do. I think almost everyone here realized he was no savior. Some were more taken by his being a symbolic middle finger to the existing power structure. For me, he was an improvement on the Bush, McCain, Romney Republicanism, which isn’t saying much, but at least is a step or two in a couple right directions. It took a long time to build up the existing power structure, and Trump’s greatest triumph was his ability to see this deep current of dissatisfaction and harness it. Now it’s up to others to take up the next battles.
Trump’s greatest triumph was his ability to see this deep current of dissatisfaction and harness it
He also had or seemed to have actual pride in this country and wasn’t ashamed of it. How much of it was his blustering showmanship is debatable, but there again, he seemed to understand that being president was a role to be played as well. I’d say most in my lifetime think of it as just an achievement and once they had the title, they can sit back and cruise.
There seemed to me to be a pretty wide cross-section of opinion among the Glibs on TDog. From Don, OMWC, and others who had no use for him and viewed him as a carnival barker who didn’t deliver any reduction at all in the Federal leviathan to others who also viewed him as a loudmouth showman but that was moving some things in the right direction. It seemed like most, myself included, fell somewhere in the middle of those two opinions of him. I want absolutely no part of him running for any elected office (outside the mayorship of Palm Beach maybe), but at least will give him credit for pushing Team Red in a different direction. I don’t view any politicians as saviors , but I’d much rather see someone like DeSantis as the leading contender for the Republicans than fucking Mittens.
Trump got out there and did something about the wrong direction he felt America was headed. He sacrificed his time and health to shake up the status quo in D.C.
The big reason why that was important to maybe saving America from bloodletting Civil War 2.0 is that most people are Sheeple and follow others. Trump became the rallying point and showed Americans that was can still peacefully defeat the Commie Democrats. That window is closing and it requires effort by many more Americans to stop the Democrats.
Honestly, the people who don’t like what Trump did in 4 years just reinforces that he did a good job. I dont trust those people’s opinions because their criticisms lack support to convince anyone else.
Trump didnt claim that he only wanted to do 1 thing. Trump is the best US President in history for multiple reasons.
Trump did multiple things including expose how corrupt Democrats are to so many Americans that a tide has turned. Either its enough to scale back the Communists trying to destroy America or we can finally get this Civil War 2.0 over with.
RINOs like McConnell are fine with stealing from American taxpayers and spending his career in Congress. They think that they can contain Communism in America and all will be fine.
One of Trump’s goals was to cause Commies in American govt to out themselves as Communists. Trump still needed Americans to wake up and do something about it. They are.
Thanks, Don, and everyone else, for being here and commenting. And extra big thanks to everyone who contributes articles, fiction, artwork, etc.
Here is a synopsis of the founding of Glibs.
Thanks Tonio, it’s good to be reminded of the history of the Glibs. I was lurker at TOS for a couple years, having grown up (glib style) as a long time Reason Magazine subscriber. It was a disappointment to see them moving away from what I had learned and believed in. I lurked here for a long time too.
Local proggie web site has jaw dropping story about the VAERS system. The reason it is so amazing is that it complains about rubes getting too worked up the numbers in VAERS with regards to the vax using the same arguments that people have used in regards to Rona deaths!
Sorry about that wall of text, but I just couldn’t cut any of it out. It was all too good.
Don’t worry, though, the writer has some good advice for you.
The only thing you need to know about VAERS is that it was proven to only catch 1% of adverse events. The CDC was offered a better system to track adverse events and they declined.
???
It is intentionally deficient so that they can justify ignoring the data it does collect.
Yep, VAERS is unreliable, but it’s unreliable because it significantly underreports actual adverse events.
The absolutely enraging part of this is the CDC and FDA’s steadfast refusal to perform any analysis on the data. They pretend it doesn’t exist or that it’s meaningless, in which case they’re not in compliance with the law because VAERS is a legally required component of the vaccine program.
Not will they debate anyone on the data and what it means. It is simply argument by assertion and go fuck yourselves.
The data analysis will commence once they have figured out how to massage the data to fit the proper conclusions. It’s not as if this hasn’t been done before.
Or as the DOD is demonstrating, they will just change it.
“Fact check: The NYT isn’t reporting any scandal. Verdict: False.”

I’ll point out again that Pfizer’s 6 month trials showed a greater difference in the mortality rate from cardiac arrest among the vaxed group vs. unvaxed than from Covid in the unvaxed vs. vaxed. I.e., more people are dying of cardiac arrest in the six months following vaccine administration (compared with the unvaxxed group) than unvaccinated people are dying from Covid.

The image of Biden looking stern and Putin looking cowered is amusing.
‘Putin looking cowered is amusing.’
I interpreted that look as thinking: “How much longer must I suffer this senile puppet?”
It’s just simple economics 101
President Biden was delivered a blow this week amid the news that inflation is rising and showing no signs of slowing down.
The consumer price index rose 7.5 percent annually by the end of January, the fastest rate since 1982.
Consumer spending has returned to pre-pandemic levels, but the rush of demand, lack of supply, and labor shortages and shipping bottlenecks have caused high inflation to linger.
Let’s blame the Canadian Nazi Party.
If only Republicans let him spend more.
It isn’t like the modern economy isn’t heavily driven by the cost of energy and the burden of regulatory compliance and he made all of that dramatically worse or anything…. total coinky-dink….
“President Biden was delivered a blow”
Poor guy. He’s the victim here.
Haven’t posted a lot (I know, not like I normally do) because I just haven’t felt like I had anything to contribute — but first, condolences on the passing of Wonder Dog. My last pup passed nigh unto 10 years ago now, I think… haven’t gotten a new one yet, but still miss her.
From the Rand Paul article, love the completely-not-biased-at-all reporting:
Funny, that’s not how I remember it being reported.
And it isn’t like BLM and Antifa were actively beating people up at the time, like they hadn’t been assaulting political opponents since 2016 (*cough* looking at you, San Jose….), etc. It was just a polite group asking that he “say her name”… suuuure….
And while I should probably thread it — a quick response to the whole teams thing and Don above (comment 21) — yeah, the Republicans suck… but at least they’re willing to mouth platitudes towards freedom and don’t seem as likely to empower the damned crazies on the left who have taken over the Donks over the last few years. I’d personally love *actual* freaking constitutional fiscal conservatives to come back — but they made damned sure to co-opt the Tea Party movement to prevent that from happening, and since then I’m pretty sure that this falls into the “the type of person who’d do that, sure as hell wouldn’t run these days” scenario.
Regarding Trump — my personal opinion (and only that) is that it was nice to get a politician who was in the “Don’t apologize camp” and at least pretended to listen to the rest of the country outside the Coasts and the Bubbles. He apparently hired almost nothing but moles, crooks or deep state apparatchiks which hampered him a great deal (yes, I know — the type of people with “qualifications” for the jobs are already part of the system — frankly, I think forming a pool by plucking names out of a phone book and then interviewing them would have been better). And being a 90’s Donk at heart, he apparently was perfectly fine with throwing insane amounts of other generation’s money at things. I am not happy about the debt increases — nor was I happy when GWB did it at the time. Frankly, I’m more pleased about the Dems not having enough sense and savvy to wheedle more “bipartisan compromises” out of him that would have probably brought us “Build Back Better” four years early. I suspect that could have, if they fluffed his ego.
That’s pretty rich what with even the MSM beginning to show some interest in revealing what a scam BLM was the whole time.
Are the truckers’ asking for reparations?
Didn’t Paul name a bill after Breonna Taylor?
You nail my opinion of Trump to a T. It isn’t about team red v. blue, it is about liberty, and dragging the country back to a foundation of that. We libertarians, big L or small l, can no longer sit on our high horses and bitch and moan about the country going to shit. We need to set the course, as much as possible, and right now the Right is at least sniffing around our back door. And, we also need to remember that the left, when the inevitable comes and is on the outs, will do the same thing.
We don’t have anything like the numbers to get our preferred people into place on a grand scale, but we can, and should, work to getting our ideas being a greater norm.

The Biden administration has argued for months that inflation isn’t here to stay, and White House press secretary Jen Psaki stressed again on Friday the they think “inflation will come down, will moderate over the course of the year.”
When asked what the White House is doing to combat inflation, Psaki pointed to efforts to address supply chains, rebuild manufacturing infrastructure, implement the bipartisan infrastructure law and continue to promote competition.
“Trust us. we’ll have the economy running like a we oiled machine, just as soon as we get compete control of it. We have a whole stable full of Top Men. And Women, too.”
I can’t even.
“address supply chains, rebuild manufacturing infrastructure, implement the bipartisan infrastructure law”
That’s sure a long way around to “borrow and spend trillions”. A sure fire inflation antidote.
Somehow, none of that sounds like leaving us alone and letting voluntary individual transactions lead us out of this mess.
As insidious as inflation is on a daily basis it’s also a destruction of savings. That rainy day fund depreciates at the same rate as the inflation.
If I was saving for a new truck I’ll have to save the 7.5% I just lost all over again. It’s the depreciation of the money in your pocket

President Biden will travel to Cleveland and Lorain, Ohio, on Thursday, Feb. 17, to promote the bipartisan infrastructure law in the state, the White House announced Saturday.
Biden plans to speak with Ohio constituents about how the law “delivers for the American people by rebuilding roads and bridges, upgrading water systems, cleaning up the environment, and creating good-paying, union jobs,” per the White House.
This trip comes as Biden’s approval ratings sink and after his massive climate and social spending bill, the White House’s top legislative priority, was essentially killed in the Senate when Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va) announced he would not vote for it.
He should be delivering that message in a Starbucks.

“Where are the vixens?”
Here are the vixens
What did I just watch?
A billion views as well,
You never seen that? Oh God was that played constantly by my kids
Been a while since I heard that one. A red fox has taken up residence in the woods behind my house, if I’m up early enough I’m all see him (her?) running around. Has significantly culled the chipmunk population. Every time I see that fox, I get this earworm.
Every time I see that red fox, I think of raunchy humor.
Holy cow.
I would never have expected such a terrible attempt at humor to exist. Now I must find the movie itself…
Either the truckers aren’t numerous and are just a fringe section and articles like the hurting independent grocer is exaggerated bullshit or, they are lying just like their cuck daddies in the government.
Good morning, Old Man!
Sorry you aren’t feeling it today.
a guy who is famous because… actually, it escapes me
He wrote an absolutely terrific essay on lifting.
And Black Flag was good for awhile.
All I got.
Rollins Band was good too. So was his spoken word stuff.
Thanks for the essay link, good stuff indeed.
Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign paid an internet company to “infiltrate” servers at Trump Tower and the White House in order to link Donald Trump to Russia, a bombshell new legal filing alleges.
He should have wiped them with a cloth.
The World Health Organization’s chief scientist, Soumya Swaminathan, said on Friday that the world was not yet at the end of the COVID-19 pandemic as there would be more coronavirus variants.
Fauci saw his shadow.
Small grocery stores in Canada that depend on the United States for all kinds of foods, from fruits and vegetables to cereal, are starting to feel the strain of the trucker protest that has led to the partial blockade of a major border crossing between Canada and the United States.
Given the border crossing rules for truckers, they’d probably feel a strain without the protests.
Indiana on Wednesday reported highly pathogenic bird flu on a commercial turkey farm, leading China, South Korea and Mexico to ban poultry imports from the state. The outbreak put the US industry on edge at a time that labor shortages are fueling food inflation.
LOCK EVERYTHING DOWN OR YOU WANT GRANDMA TO DIE!!!!1111!!!!
Yet when Paul was asked about his thoughts on the convoy and the potential for it to spill over into Los Angeles, home of Sunday’s Super Bowl, or into Washington D.C., he said “it’d be great” if the anti-mandate demonstrators came to the United States to “clog things up.”
Folks were talking about that on the trucker protest group I’m in. But it looks like nothing will happen until March in the US.
March is just too late. It will have been infiltrated and probably become a corporate movement by then.
It’s already too late to bother. I’m comfortable just letting the few places still locked down suffer.
This should’ve happened a year ago.
Rally for Mandates?
By May there will be a Disney movie out about a cute biracial kid who is out to find his dad who didn’t know he existed. His mother died and the kid was sent to terrible redneck foster parents who were only in it for the money. So he sets off on a cross country adventure that has him almost cross paths with his trucker father until the end where they meet at the trucker protest in DC. The final scene is him, his father and the President working out a deal to end the protest by giving everyone universal healthcare.
LOL that is terrifyingly plausible
I’m still working on the treatment, but the working title so far is “Honk”. There will be gratuitous Canadian goose tie ins to help with the merchandising.
Make the boy transgender for a few more diversity points.
Right…
Well I’m sure it’s a small part of it
Pin it on anything but government policy. TMITE

Hahaha! I know what will convince our remaining 150 people who watch us, we will equate Joe Rogan and his use of “the N word” to Jan6.

What desperate and screwed up minds those people have. It’s coffee time and prepping wings for later. Pulled pork dinished last night and it was good. Used Bobby Flays receipe but I did a whisky brine.
Literally worse than Hitler.
Joe is putting them back into chains.
Not Chick Corea, but I do like some George Benson.

My kitten has decided to chew on my speaker cables and other assorted wiring, I have never seen a cat do this,
usually just doggos.
My cat is a menace. USB cables and especially headphone wires, he’s probably into me for at least $100. Had to switch to armored stuff.
Photo essay of the sixth day of protests in Wellington, New Zealand.
“NYC crook with 44 prior arrests – including 16 in ONE DAY – is finally caught and charged with battering and robbing Thai model, 23, on Manhattan subway platform last November”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10507369/NYC-man-FORTY-FOUR-prior-arrests-arrested-beating-aspiring-Thai-model-subway-platform.html
They processed sixteen arrests in one day?
Oh, hon…. Who’s going to tell her?
Prevented for a few hours?
“British woman, 26, who suffers a severe allergy says she was kicked off American Airlines flight from Heathrow to JFK because she demanded entire plane had to be nut free ”

To be fair, they did get rid of the nut.
I guess Yusef forgot…..

Nah, they were there yesterday.
OK
Yeah, WTF is up with that?!
Well, for a 19 year old that’s not so big
That gal is bigger than I am. I’d be terrified if I was 12 years old and had to be in a classroom with her.
Henry Rollins did quite well, I thought, in He Never Died, a slow paced drama about a social outcast type of dude who turns out to be [redacted] who [redacted] and surprisingly [redacted]. On a scale of one to ten, I gave it a seven.
I looove that movie.
Your comments are spot on.
If I could go back in time and stop one person from existing, it would be Malthus.
For every Malthus there is an anti-Malthus, just to prove the science. The gains in technology keep on coming , education, in spite of mis-education, can’t be ignored.
Some things take a long time but truth will win. Iron laws are irrevocable.
Yes.
Chicken mask: Bruce Dickenson was ahead of his time.
Think I’ll go to Vince Neil’s bar here in Pahrump for the Stoopid Bowlz
Lunch buffet, games, music and TB.
Or I could save $200 by sitting on my ass at home. I do believe I have the biggest tv screen in town.
