Biden inflation hits soldiers hard as U.S. Army recommends food stamps for troops
Here’s how much money you need to afford rent in the 15 most expensive U.S. cities
That’s all I got for today. I’ll leave you with a song and move along with my day.
I never had to make donuts.
Just don’t ask SugarFree to glaze them.
“Biden inflation hits soldiers hard as U.S. Army recommends food stamps for troops”
It’s a government job, they just can’t pay them more?
You don’t want enlisted feeling they are real people like officers.
You want them even more dependent on government so those woke officers have an easier time of doing their Zampolit role.
IIRC, food-stamp qualification considers household size, while military pay only considers rank. So it is cheaper to do food stamps rather than hike pay, as food stamps will only cover a fraction of the soldiers while a pay raise would cover all.
If the Army/Marine Corps wanted you to have a family, they’d have issued you one.
The decision by Visa, the world’s largest payment processor, marks a victory for gun control activists, who claim that categorizing credit card purchases of firearms and ammunition separately could help detect suspicious sales and prevent potential mass shootings.
There is no path toward this change preventing mass shootings.
The recent revelations that the Biden regime pressured Twitter to censor Alex Berenson and others puts all “it’s a private company, bro” decisions like this under suspicion.
“There is no path toward this change preventing mass shootings.”
That’s the line they know will make the seals just clap as ordered even though it is blatantly obvious it is bullshit.
Something, something within the state, something nothing against something
Will Discover be the hold out? I see no mention of them.
This won’t stop mass shootings because when the FBI gives some troubled loser a gun and ammo, they aren’t charging it to their VISA
As soon as leftists started using that as a defense (BuT iTs PrivATe) you had to start being suspicious. More than usual even.
“Credit Card Giants to Categorize Gun-Related Sales Separately, NRA Condemns ‘Erosion of Rights’”
Remember how government isn’t supposed to censor media but then used social media to do it for them through the FBI? Well, this is government pawning off their wish of a gun owner DB to the private sector. It may take them a few years to put it together, but the private industry will finally produce that database of gun owners based on gun & ammo purchases. And have no doubt that the government plans to use that DB eventually when it needs to try to disarm people.

Grabbed a co-worker, waved to my coffee and now I have a meeting with HR. Am I doing this wrong?
HR is there to protect the company from its employees. They do this by hiring a bunch of studies major idiots looking desperately to show senior management they are valuable employees. These two things combine to produce people that will make up shit to justify their existence at the expense of others…
Beware of that.
And do not forget that the thing these studies majors hate the most is how much more money the geeks get paid than they do. There is not a group more hated by the useless HR people than the tech people they see as being more important and successful than they are based on compensation. I am not making that up. I have had at least 3 HR ladies tell me they felt people like me were over paid and not deserving of making the money I make (because it was more than they were paid).
This is currently a problem at my workplace. HR lady at our site is on the war path about paying overtime properly to the shift employees because they already make substantially more than her. She has complained out loud about the discrepancy of pay and then short changes the workers. A formal complaint has been filed and a law suit is pending. Not going to work out well for her.
I have been in a constant battle with HR, over pay, since a former boss of mine went against company policy and made HR match a raise I was offered from a different company when he fond out I was leaving to keep me there three years ago. Here is a lesson: HR will seek to punish both you and the manager that made them admit some employees are worth not losing. You may think you gained, but the long term effect is that you are going to have to fight them for compensation every year after that because they are trying to roll back what they were forced to correct.
“I add value to the company. You push paper. We are not the same.”
Yeah, you say that out loud, and they will find someone to accuse you of going into a ladies room to take underskirt pics to get you fired, and even if you claim you were identifying as a woman that day, they will demand you go.
I am glad there are people to remind me which pride month it is and what events are scheduled for my area. What would I do without them?

I considered applying for a permit but don’t trust the government.

“Republicans push to restrict mail-in voting ahead of November”
Why was this not done right after it became totally obvious this is one of the key ways the people that “fortified” the 2020 elections went about hiding the voter fraud campaign that landed Biden in the WH? I mean, shit, they KNEW this was the main strategy that allowed team blue to create tens of thousands of extra votes in the special places where team blue can cheat at will, and they are finally getting around to admitting this needs to be blocked?
The only thing that makes sense is that some team read incumbent assholes were also using this loophole to pad their voter count. and they didn’t want to give that up. Cause people that see this level of cheating would not just sit by idly if they wanted to make the problem go away (or at least be easier to catch and punish).
Why should the dead be denied the vote?
And the woke their multiple votes?
I got nothing…
Feature, not a problem…
I have to confess that thought crossed my mind as well — but this is a case of “Bad headline”.
First sentence of the article:
No idea if they’ve done enough, but they haven’t been sitting on their hands like that headline made it sound.
Not enough imo. Here it seems like there is still unlimited mail in balloting.
Junk mail voting is still the default in Repub-controlled Arizona. And the Soros Secretary of State who oversaw the 2020 election (which failed its audit) is now the Democrat candidate for governor.
We are strongly against anybody using more than one dead person’s name on a ballot.
Joe Biden- friend of the working man.
But which working man? There are millions out there, how do we know the one who is Joe’s friend?
Hunter — Joe knows Hunter is always working it.
There is a difference between a working man and a working girl.
Well, not factory workers in Detroit
Also, love the “fact check”: he said it! But it was completely out of context! He was just saying that he doesnt work for you when it comes to disarming you and stripping you of your rights!
And then in the same fact check claims his claimed gun grabbing stance is the result of further manipulated statements and that he really isn’t a gun grabber.
I can speak to #1 – the “average rent” listed is highly misleading due to the fact that only “luxury” residences are built anymore, because regulation.
OK, they do more or less admit it –
What they really mean is that the great majority of rentals are far less than that figure.
If they’re using “median” correctly*, half the people should be paying less than that number.
*I crack myself up.
I see that all the time with the “Tokyo in top 5 expensive cities to live in the world!@
Nope.

Or you could just skip breakfast and eat in an 8 hour window. It’s not that complicated, but it does require discipline.
Or you could just skip breakfast and eat in an 8 hour window – this only helps if it keeps calories low. There are over-fat OMAD people out there
It’s extremely difficult to eat an abundance of calories in an 8 hour window, but where’s there a will there’s a way. Self sabotage is a real phenomena.
I knew someone who never ate till evening but then in a 3 hour window pizza chips beer and cake… and yes fat.
I like my alcohol drinking too much, and unfortunately that has calories as well…
My spouse covers this for me. About the time my pants start getting loose, donut holes appear.
I’ll have to check, but I’m pretty sure self-discipline is racist.
Just like success is, yup…
And punctuality.
Now you just acting white, homey…
I spank myself vigorously for any racist thoughts I have.
Here’s how much money you need to afford rent in the 15 most expensive U.S. cities
“The following rankings are the most expensive cities based on how much salary you’d need to keep rental costs at 30% of your overall income:”
Should the % not be from after tax income? I assume there is some tax difference between Miami and NYC
The only way I would live in a US city was if they incarcerated me in one of them. Cities are shitholes, especially based on the people that run them usually, and the mentality of the idiots that are attracted to those shitholes…
Fuck if I were to get a mental disorder or drug problem and end up homeless, I would still avoid a fucking city. Well, unless I completely lost my mind.
The Daily Mail link above had this on the sidebar, along with a bevy of articles about the children of celebrities: Prince Andrew is banned from wearing military uniform for ceremonial events during mourning for the Queen… but he WILL be permitted to don armed forces outfit at Westminster Hall vigil
They were stripped of their titles, so naturally the article continues to refer to them by their titles throughout. “Megxit” is an obnoxious term. The soldier’s costumes at the funeral are pretty cool, though.
He should come with a hot 18 year old on each arm just to show he a gangster…
Oh please. Like Meghan lets him near any source of strange.
Ehm what does Meghan have to do with it?
I think Pie means Andrew.
LOL!
Megan will be seen out in public with some diesel cock dudes running a train on her to show the power of womenz. That cuck will do what he is told by her and will never even dare to do some shit like what you suggest, cause that hag Megan will have his balls in her purse when she is out & about to make sure bitchass Harry knows his place..
see my reply to Not Adahn
As I pointed out: Megan has Harry’s balls in her purse…
I was not talking about Harry
Who were you talking about then? Megan?
” Prince Andrew is banned from wearing military uniform for ceremonial events”
You know the guy with a taste for the pussy on the younger side
Why are you judging that guy, huh? He is just an early MAP adopter…
And from what I hear, his wife has his balls in a purse too. Just like Camilla has Charles’ balls in hers…
The only person with balls in that family is the one they have lying in the coffin.
I see that now. I blame the Daily Mail.
I guess I should have kept reading before I commented.
18 is a bit long in the tooth for him
Also, Biden will not be attending the funeral. Maybe he could send a set of his speeches on DVD to be buried with her instead.

This may sound mean but visiting a medieval castle in Romania recently I encounter two US tourists that almost made me want to pull an In Bruge on them. Both women looked under 30 and ehm pushing 300 . Pink hair on one of them. Struggled walking up the less challenging stairway. Cut the tour short as the literally could not fit on the more narrow windy staircases. But it is sad really being young and not being able to do many things people should be able to do. There were some spanish and german tourists in their 70s that went everywhere
I bet that they broke some hostel bed that night trying to scissor playing their Daenerys vs. Daenerys “Game of Thrones” without dragon tails games…
Not that there is anything wrong with that game or scissoring, but beds now seem to need maximum occupancy & weight limits like elevators do too…
That’s… wow.
to be fair in a way… very narrow… But still
I should post the clip…

You didn’t try deflating them by sucking their blood?
Eaglen said the answer is to increase pay and be more realistic about how inflation affects service members.
“A better solution is to abandon rosy inflation assumptions, boost basic pay, and request a defense topline above inflation each year so forces and families have predictability and stability,” she said.
Create trillions of dollars out of thin air at the Federal Reserve to pay for wars, leading to inflation, request an increased “defense” budget to account for said inflation, repeat.
I’ll have to check, but I’m pretty sure self-discipline is racist.
Just like being on time and wearing clean socks.
Texas passed a law in 2021 requiring election workers to reject mail-in ballots or applications if voters use different means of ID from what they provided when registering to vote. The state’s March primary had a 12.4% rate in ballot rejections, compared to the 0.8% mail ballot rejection rate during the 2020 election, according to data from the secretary of state’s office.
Dumb question: how do you use your ID with a mail-in ballot? Send a photocopy of it?

but did she you know attend any games, pay for tickets, generate income for them etc
Good point. “Huge fan” who doesn’t financially support them at all. Not Adahn, does your area have a WNBA team for her to be a fan of? And wouldn’t you say I’m a fan of [local team], not the league?
From what I have been told by the demographic most likely to attend/pay/watch WNBA games, the people that actually do that are the parents and real close family members, and others that like to watch bull daggers getting sweaty…
Yeah, I was surprised that she was interested in guys.
I’m sure there is one here, I don’t know if I’m supposed to follow NYC or Boston teams. .
I was living in Houston when the WNBA was started, and it was enlightening to see how transparently the league was trying to obtain market share. They put the “best” players on the NY and LA teams, and hyped the bejeezus out of both of them.
Then Houston one the first x number of seasons and the completely unmentioned Cynthia Cooper kicked everyone’s asses. Oops.

Touring an Incredible 72 Acre Colorado Mountaintop Estate!
151,298 views Sep 10, 2022 Today we are high up in the mountains outside of Vail, Colorado to tour this incredible mountaintop estate!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJfNpK7IM4A
Property Address: 594 Winchester Trl., Edwards, CO 81632
Specs: 5 Bedrooms, 7 Baths
5,881 Sq ft interior space ( 546 sq m)
72.34 Acres Lot (292,749 sq m)
Listing Price: $7,775,000
Now I don’t love the architecture, but I like this a lot more for 7 mill than the one in Aspen I linked a few days ago with 1.4 acres for 100 million
Aspen is more expensive than Vail.
I mean I suppose but not really relevant to the fact that I did not much like the house in Aspen beyond the huge price
I love that.

This isn’t clear yet.
Now you’re worried about what is clear or not?
How about this one?
I never said it was clear. I’d bet means to me 51% or so. And that he first shot an acquaintance that was black certainly could indicate he had a prior beef with him. Did he have a beef with the white victimsI that were total strangers? Doubt it. I admit that when I first saw the victims were black, I was regretting my “bet”. I back to 50/50 or so.
BTW, Mike, I’d actually be happy to be wrong on this.
I know. My beef isn’t with you. You just keep jumping in when I try and get a response from Drake. 😉
It would be nice to hear from Drake on his “He’s shooting white people” claim, but I guess it is tough to defend the indefensible.
Technically correct, but misleading. That’s true.
So he shot somebody had a beef with – then turned on a camera and went on his spree? Is that better?

*Standing Ovation*
Coming soon to a bookshop near you
A new book by New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman reportedly reveals former President Trump told aides following the 2020 presidential election that he would remain in the White House after President Biden’s inauguration.
Haberman wrote that Trump seemed to recognize he had lost to Biden immediately following the election, but his mood later changed, according to CNN.
“I’m just not going to leave,” Haberman writes Trump told one aide, the network reported.
“We’re never leaving. How can you leave when you won an election?” Trump reportedly told another.
Haberman’s book, titled “Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America,” will be released early next month.
Look for it in the “Fantasy” aisle.
Didn’t Haberman come out with some other bullshit claims recently?
My anonymous sources tell me Haberman is full of shit.
And yet he did. And no one in a pique of frustration has said stuff like “They’ll have to carry me out” or anything.
I mean, seriously… this is beyond weak sauce. So what if he did? What were his *actions*, dumbass donkeys? Are we 2 years into the Siege of the White House? No? Then STFU.
Trump could have refused to leave the White House. He could have declared himself dictator-for-life, started a nuclear war, worn white after Labor Day … The Democrats were justified in all they did to prevent what the imagined could have happened.
BUT HE HAS BAD THOUGHTS!

It’s the same one. He definitely picked his wife well.
From a different article:
He tried to jump from the falling forklift but his leg became trapped in the seat belt and he plummeted 50 feet before being pinned by the 2,200-pound vehicle.
“I tried staying on top of the forklift as much as I could as it rolled, and then I was thrown from the forklift at the end of the hill once it finally landed,” the 19-year-old told the Sun. “My eyes were wide open and I saw the forklift come down and land on my hips and my right forearm.”
This is why you never try to jump out and always wear your seatbelt. Hold on tight, brace yourself as you can, and ride the wave. Training and rules exist for a reason when it comes to industrial equipment.
*looks at XX nervously*
Was the forklift driver’s name Klaus?
Threats everywhere
In the original blueprint for the creation of the Department of Homeland Security — and in the authorizing statute — was the establishment of the Homeland Security Advanced Research Projects Agency (HSARPA). The vision was for HSARPA to perform necessary research and transform that research into necessary solutions to our homeland security challenges, based on the model of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), which has been critical to informing the best national security team in the world. DARPA is known for being visionary, first and foremost. It also is organized in a way that allows the team to have not only management roles, but also robust funding and flexibility in procurement to maximize their success. However, for a myriad of reasons, HSARPA has come nowhere close to emulating this model.
Many think tanks, legislators, and former DHS employees have commented that HSARPA has lacked a particular focus. While biodefense must involve HHS and DOD components, DHS needs to be a significant part of this threat matrix team, and HSARPA should be considered a leader and a critical link.
With its recently released “First Annual Report on Progress towards implementation of the American Pandemics Preparedness Plan,” the Biden administration cites among its priorities an increased investment in research and development dollars for biodefense. Additionally, Congress is currently considering ways to sharpen the mission of the office for Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction at DHS. But — to date — there has been a lack of focus on HSARPA and the challenges within the Science and Technology Directorate.
We really need to be doing more offshore gain of function research. For preparedness.
WE NEED A THREAT MATRIX OVER HERE, STAT!
Get out!

Not their best, but they are always good.
First and foremost, HSARPA should conduct a net mission assessment of HSARPA that evaluates the current threat landscape and provides direction, vision, and a new mission statement for HSARPA. Projects are funded but not in the context of meeting a specific strategy. Developing strategies for long-term professional management and procurement strategies, similar to DARPA, are also a key to future success. And of course, Congress will need to provide much more funding if we are to accomplish the goal that was intended by HSARPA by our DHS founders.
Bureaucrat-speak for “Buy me a pony, Mommy. I promise I’ll take care of him.”
Or we could… you know… disband DHS entirely and use its budget to pay down debt.
But then who would defend the homeland? I mean, it isn’t like we have a department supposedly dedicated to our defense or anything, right? Just like whenever the IC fails it means we need to add *another* “clearinghouse to coordinate between the 17 agencies we already established weren’t doing their jobs”, We keep adding layers of administrators and wonder why nothing gets done…

A probabilistic approach to evaluate the likelihood of artificial genetic modification and its application to SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant
Fauci created it
Do they discount the possibility that both the Wuhan strain and the Omicron variant have a common ancestor that vastly predates the emergence of the official pandemic?
Even then you would expect a lot more synonymous mutations than a single one, right? My understanding is the codon system is designed to absorb many synonymous mutations without much affecting the biochemical product.
The idea of a white hat genetic hacker releasing modified strains to compete with the weaponized version may be even more frightening than the Wuhan bioweapon leak.
This whole thing is totally out of control.
I’m getting increasingly comfortable with the idea of vaporizing every one of those sites.
Only increasingly?
The fact that it didn’t happened after about year one of the pandemic is a conviction of us all the next time they release something it might not be as limp dicked as COVID was.
I still consider DHS a new federal bureaucracy that needs to be able to adapt based on lessons learned. The concept of creating HSARPA was a good idea in 2001, but we need to do more as a country to make its goals a reality so that we can better protect the American people.
Twenty fucking years.

Threats everywhere
Vice President Kamala Harris said anti-democratic forces that have emerged in the mainstream of American politics have made the nation weaker at home and undermined our legitimacy overseas, joining President Joe Biden in describing it as a major threat.
Asked in an interview that aired Sunday on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” whether the threats from within the U.S. pose a risk equal to or greater than what the nation faced 21 years ago on 9/11, Harris drew upon the oaths of office she had taken as a prosecutor, California’s attorney general, a senator and vice president to uphold the Constitution “against all enemies, foreign and domestic — and we don’t compare the two.”
“It is very dangerous and, I think, very harmful. And it makes us weaker,” Harris said.
Fuck you and the broom you rode in on.
“anti-democratic forces”
It’s always a narrative with these people. “Racism” and “white supremacism” didn’t seem to stick so let’s try calling everyone who disagrees with us a “threat to democracy”. I can only hope that people are starting to realize how transparent this is.
There will always be a subset of people who buy into it hook, line, and sinker, that includes a majority of those working for the government.
Good foot soldiers, all.
I have an old acquaintance who works for the BLS. His father was an auditor for the Navy. He knows full well how corrupt the system is. For years, his father would find accounting irregularities at bases and nothing would ever happen to rectify it. Straight into the circular file it went.
When Trump came into office, my acquaintance was terrified that they would be persecuted out of their jobs for political wrongthink, even though there was zero evidence of that actually happening. He and his wife have drunk the Kool-Aid and view the bureaucracy as waging a war against the MAGA people for its existence and that the bureaucracy has done absolutely nothing wrong and that we all need them to count the sheep in Montana every year.
Anti-democratic forces denied Harris a single delegate to the Democratic convention.
You know, it’s really a classic case of progjection. They know that they spent years trying to undermine the results of an election and basically staging a soft coup well before Trump did it. They know they fought tooth and nail to adopt laws and regulations in the last election that would be considered fraudulent if observed in a foreign election (it’s funny how Western Europe doesn’t have the same view on election laws as the Democrats). They know they conspired with private companies to silence dissenting opinions under the ridiculous guise of “disinformation.” I could go on all day here.
Trump questioned the results of an election. We can debate the legitimacy of his complaints all day long. I think the people running elections in a lot of swing states basically said fuck the rules in a lot of regards. What happened in PA was especially egregious. They used covid as a backdrop to do a lot of it. Regardless, the Dems did it first and kept it up for 4 years.
And there are a lot of Republicans who refused to get on board with Trump who sure are moving quickly to shut down the mass mail voting we saw in 2020…I wonder why that is…

It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is.

But both Biden and Harris have also worked to paint a stark contrast with what they have described as fringe but maintain there are powerful forces within the GOP that threaten the nation’s very character.
Harris defended Biden’s stark language about what he has called extremist “MAGA” Republicans, including describing them as “semi-fascist.”
“Joe Biden has spent his entire career … working across the aisle, his whole career. Sometimes he’s been criticized for believing in bipartisanship, for believing in compromise, for believing in working across the aisle, finding common ground,” she said.
“But there are moments in time when we have to also agree, all good people who care about our country, that there are those who right now are vividly not defending our democracy,” Harris added. “And I think we want that our commander in chief, that the president of the United States, will speak up and raise the alarm about what this means to our strength and our future, much less our integrity.
Anybody who disagrees with us is an enemy of the state. That’s what DEMOCRACY! means.

Regarding the gun purchases and credit card companies and whether or not they were pressured: They were.
“Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Rep. Madeleine Dean of Pennsylvania and signed by over a dozen of their colleagues, urges the CEOs of Mastercard, American Express and Visa to back the creation of a merchant category code for gun and ammunition retailers — a measure the industry had initially resisted,”

Wouldn’t surprise me one bit if the Biden Administration also weighed in behind the scenes in favor of this defacto gun registration scheme.
So how does that work for places that are generally sporting goods or outdoor goods like Bass Pro Shop? Do purchases of firearms/ammo have to be separate? Only at a certain register?
Buy from “Sporting Goods Stores” since it is merchant not product codes or pay cash.
The ruling also found that gun restrictions must be deeply rooted in American history if they are to survive constitutional scrutiny.

Ax a expert
As it turns out, royal experts believe that the real reason Princes William and Harry cannot fly together is because Buckingham Palace fears that, in a worst case scenario involving the death of both brothers, there would be a “constitutional crisis” to the line of succession. Royal author and constitutional expert Brian Hoey told The Sun that there is a “strong constitutional reason that William and Harry do not fly together — and that is to do with the line of succession.” Hoey said that while “events happened very quickly,” referring to the sudden and dramatic news of the queen’s ill health the morning of September 8, “They have had years to plan for all eventualities.” This, of course, includes the possibilities of tragic and deadly accidents.
If William were to die, the heir apparent to the British throne would be his son, the 9-year-old Prince George. And in that scenario, the death of King Charles III, who is 73, would result in a child becoming king. According to The Washington Post, George would technically be allowed to become king, but he would not be able to carry out official duties until he became 18. As a result, Harry — the next adult in line to the throne after William — would act as regent until George’s 18th birthday. As a result, Buckingham Palace has to constantly plan ahead in order to avoid worst-case scenarios.
By this logic, wouldn’t/shouldn’t they prohibit Chuckie and Will from flying on the same plane together?
Who would cut the ribbon at the new fish and chips place?
I imagine the real fear is if you lose Charles, William and Harry the next adult in line to act as regent would be Andrew.
So Georgie would be competent to decide to have his man bits chopped off, but not competent to carry a bunch of flower and shake hands at the new Council Supermarket opening?
Buy from “Sporting Goods Stores” since it is merchant not product codes or pay cash.
And when independent dedicated full service guns stores have been mostly run off, and ESG investor activists have pressured the chains to drop guns, like like Dick’s and Walmart, then what?
We’ll be buying guns out of the trunks of cars?
That is the cash option. The last few times I went to a gun store for ammunition I paid cash. I didn’t want the credit card tracking even when it was categorized as general merchandise.
We can only hope for a car trunk loophole
If certain people have their way we will be lucky to have a family transfer exemption. And you can forget about boating accidents.
