WEALTHY RESORT COMMUNITY COPES HARD AFTER MIGRANTS FLOWN IN: Martha’s Vineyard issues press release on “humanitarian crisis,” begs state and feds for money. “The Simpsons” nailed this a while back.
GIBSON’S BAKERY, DEFAMED BY OBERLIN, TO REOPEN: Lorna Gibson plans to rebuild the family business. (h/t: KK)
NICK GILLESPIE – THE LOU REED OF LIBERTARIANISM: No, really, someone actually said that.
SPECIAL DELIVERY FOR KAMALA HARRIS: Texas Governor Abbott buses migrants to Naval Observatory in DC. The official residence of the VPOTUS is on the grounds of the observatory. Regardless of how you feel about open borders the hypocrisy of these self-designated “sanctuary cities” is astounding.
POLITICAL CANDIDATE MOVES TO CENTER AFTER PRIMARY: Don Bolduc, NH Republican nominee for US Senate, backs off of claims of electoral shenanigans in 2020 presidential election. Bolduc is a retired US Army general.
IT’S NOT EASY BEING GREEN: Canada’s Green Party thrown into chaos over pronoun kerfuffle on a Zoom call.
EUGYPPIUS: Every day there is more evidence that the SARS-2 outbreak began months before the earliest documented Wuhan infections. Why does nobody care?

It’s a short list.
There can be only one.
Contrast and compare the other writers. Like Bobarian says, it’s a collection of disappointments.
He’s more jacket than man now, twisted and evil.
If Bolduc maintains his position on eliminating DHS, I don’t care.
I think he proved he is the same as any other politician.
I try to keep that thought in the back of the mind when thinking about Rand or Massie.
Or even the founding fathers.

For now — there are rumblings that the rank and file may not vote to approve the agreement. That’s probably take a few weeks to queue up at least (if the PPP admin has anything to say about it, at least 6 weeks, right?).
A month with no rail transport would have been a great introductory course in transport and logistics.
WASHINGTON – Two migrant buses from Del Rio, Texas, arrived near Vice President Kamala Harris’ residence at the Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C., Thursday morning.
I’m not sure what the progs are bitching about. They’re getting their preferred policies… good and hard.
Sending them to Martha’s Vineyard is priceless. Make those leftist twats live with their own policies.
And if they deport them, they look like total assholes.
To who?
It’s not like it’ll be reported on if they are deported.
That move is a thing of beauty.
It’s delicious

It’s good that they use Bulgarian instead of Russian. Don’t want those people.
They should have used Ukrainian. Probably and old design.
“We stand with immigrants!”

Comments were as e expected that it was his pleasure.
“Police said Gordon told deputies that Branch had been involved in another incident at the restaurant on Wednesday. About 10 minutes before the [second*] attempted carjacking, Branch allegedly reached into another woman’s vehicle, unlocked the driver’s door and got into the car, a second incident report stated.
He then sat on top of the woman “placing all of his bodyweight” on her and told her to get out. After the woman screamed for help, Gordon intervened and chased off Branch, according to the report.”
…and then the police got him? nah, j/k. He had to do round two before the cops got there.
*my note
That’s a pretty sweet guillotine choke he used there.
We stand with getting cheaper labor. /rich folks
My wife has experienced something interesting in running her business, others can comment if they found this to be true.
Her truly rich clients always try to haggle her down(which she never entertains), while her middle class and even the few working class clients she has will pay up without whining about it.
My wife has said the same about nursing.
Wealthy patients bitch about poor “service”. Middle class are happy for somebody that provides appropriate care.
Working class is a crapshoot of crazy expectations and people happy for care.
Isn’t that the setup to the old punchline of “How do you think we *became* rich?”
Wealth builders are usually pretty tightfisted.
“We respect women.” Reckon they haven’t heard that you’re not supposed to say that now? Or even acknowledge that it’s a thing?
The head Karen of Martha’s Vineyard says they can’t stay.
Wait – don’t tell me! The MV “homeless shelter” doubles as an Airbnb and is booked solid with “leafers”, isn’t it?
If you’re a “peeper” and going to Martha’s Vineyard, you are very, very confused.
She even had the nerve to say that they want to help them, but there is a legal process. They are so fucking tone deaf it’s hilarious.
Wrong! You are supposed to live with what they want – they expect to be exempt.
While “Green”-branded platforms vary from one part of the world to the next, they all typically draw in heterodox left-of-centre political figures who trumpet ecological sustainability, grassroots democracy, and social justice through
non-violent meansthe coercive force of government, ultimately backed up by men with guns.FIFY
You love to see it…the article details a whole mess of sanctimony & own-eating

No.
Wife had Tucker Today on last night with Chris Rufo. What an absolute turd. He seems to get everything on the problem (or really symptom) side but his solution is conservatives just need to steal the ring of power back so they can use government to force their desires and wishes on society. 🤦♂️
And lots of sneering at libertarians (which he conflates with libertines) as if libertarians have been running the Republican Party and the conservative movement for the past forty years.
Is he wrong?
When in human history have logic and persuasion prevailed?
Never
The only way to end this is to end the Fed. Take away their monetary control and DC is done.
Just because most of human history is nasty short and brutish, doesn’t make it a goal to shoot for. Rufo thinks his side can control the levers (despite the inclinations of the bureaucracy, culture is downstream of politics, and that will be a permanent solution. It won’t. He’ll forever be riding that bull looking for another 8 seconds rather than realizing that is the problem and the only way to stop it is to get off instead of getting suckered into the siren song of power.
the only way to stop it
Look at the optimist over here!
I can’t get worked up about it any more. Are the Leftists worried about what happens if the Republicans take over?
They know they’ll probably get away with rigging enough elections – that’s why we see fake impossible polls swinging their way to prep for it.
And even if the Republicans win big, so what? They won’t do crap.
Nice set of lynx today, Toino!
From the absurd, to the enraging to the sublime.
The Quilette one wins, though. Sweet Jesus it’s fun to watch the circular firing squads.

I wonder what others say about intra-Libertarian fights, or do we just not even get noticed?
We wield zero power. No one even notices.

Nice… I laughed just at the URL / headline.
Yes. Just 50. And they literally don’t realize Biden sent 70 plane loads of immigrants to Texas and Florida already.
I had 14 VN refugees (wife’s relatives) living in my house at one time. 9 stayed 6 months, 2 stayed 2 years. 50 is laughable.
Hassan’s seat represents a top pickup opportunity for Republicans, who are trying to erase Democrats’ slim Senate majority this fall. New Hampshire broke for now-President Joe Biden by 7 points in 2020, and many in GOP leadership believe Hassan is susceptible to a competent challenger — a view that led them to back state Senate President Chuck Morse in the primary. Morse conceded to Bolduc early Wednesday.
Hassan is weak and should be easy to pick off.
Morse is not a great candidate. An Establishment shill. Even if he wasn’t, he has no charisma or much name recognition. Bolduc didn’t have name recognition when he started, but he’s been working on his getting his name out there for three years.
Strangely, anti-Maggie Hassan ads, paid for by folks other than Bolduc as the Bolduc campaign has no money, are still running. I expected them to stop as the GOP Establishment doesn’t like Bolduc.
Well, the Establishment has lost the Toomey seat in Penna., so maybe they think if they help Bolduc win he will knuckle under? It’s certainly happened before – Hassan herself brags about being a bipartisan aisle crosser, but her record is meekly supporting Schumer and her Party’s leadership.
Another thought: The folks paying for those ads had contracts to run them past the primary because they expected Morse to win.
Related: Up in the White Mountains there was a Tulsi Gabbard for President billboard which stayed up long after she dropped out of the race. Some news outlet asked the owner why. The owner’s response amounted to: “They paid to have up until . We’ll take it down then.”

A little history lesson: on this day in 1945, a major hurricane hit Homestead, Florida, severely damaging the naval base that was there at the time.
Who knew that World War II caused climate change?
The article goes on to say that the Blimp base cost about $200 million (in today’s dollars) to build, that blimps flying out of there on anti-sub patrol only discovered one
U-boat in all the years the base was operational, and that said U-boat shot down the blimp with its anti-aircraft fire! Waste and military operations probably have gone hand in hand since Cro-magnon took on Neanderthal.
We cannot allow a dirigible gap, Mr. President!

A reminder for the ridiculous fuckstains in Martha’s Vineyard
If you don’t have that cancerous growth removed, you’ll die
As Indiana’s near-total abortion ban went into effect on Thursday, Democratic lawmakers announced their dismay, referring to the ban as a “death sentence”.
——-
“Hoosier women have lost a fundamental right to privacy in medical decisions with this near total ban, which is extremely cruel,” said Representative Sue Errington of the 34th district in Indiana. “I’m old enough to remember before Roe v Wade. And I know that laws like this only ban safe legal abortion. Women are going to suffer, and some will die from this,” she said.
How do people make statements like this with no conscious recognition of what they’re saying?
If pregnancy and childbirth were as lethal as these morons seem to believe, the species would have died out long before now.
Well, it isn’t without risk of death. Ask me how I know.
I have nothing to say. I just wanted to post.
Anarchy!
I vote whenever you feel that way, it should just be curses!.
😃
This is why there are no female libertarians….
Well, it isn’t without risk of death. Ask me how I know.
I realize that; for mother and child.
But the overblown “death sentence” rhetoric is ridiculous.
And- before Roe, there were plenty of successful, non-lethal abortions performed.
Evening, Glibs. I’ve made it to Superior and checked into my hotel. I have a nice view of Lake superior, and decor out of the conservative side of the 80s (Browns not leopard print)
100 miles from heaven, UCS
Don’t worry, it didn’t take too long to drive from Superior to your place last time. I don’t suspect it will take any longer this time.
If only he’d driven another twenty-five miles…
The only thing superior about the town of Superior is the view (of Duloot)!
I’ll see you (and Fourscore, kinnath, CPRM, and others) at Honey Harvest.

Speaking of preposterous hogwash
“Today’s announcement is a critical first step towards giving banks and credit card companies the tools they need to recognize dangerous firearm purchasing trends – like a domestic extremist building up an arsenal — and report them to law enforcement,” said John Feinblatt, president of Everytown for Gun Safety, a gun control advocacy group, in a statement last week.
——-
Now, after a Democrat-supported effort led by the socially progressive bank Amalgamated Bank, gun stores will have a separate code.
But experts say it’s unclear what impact the new policy will actually have, if any, on gun violence.
The smart money is on “none”.
We all know criminals buy their guns in gun stores with credit cards
And they buy dozens at a time. That’s how we can spot the trends.

Democrat California Governor Gavin Newsom, a potential 2024 presidential candidate, released a letter sent to the Biden Justice Department Thursday calling for a federal investigation of Wednesday’s two flights of 50 migrants to Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts for kidnapping, RICO and civil rights charges. The flights were coordinated by one of Newsom’s potential 2024 rivals, Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
The Martha’s Vineyard flights were followed Thursday morning with a surprise delivery of two busloads of migrants to Kamala Harris’ residence at the Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C. by Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott.
Muh human trafficking!
Haven’t the Feds been flying “asylum seekers” all over the country for months now mostly under the cover of darkness and hidden from the press? Is that not human trafficking?
Yes. But that is different because reasons.
Martha’s Vineyard smelled of douchebaggery back in the 80s when my dad would take us sailing there. I preferred Cuttyhunk.

Biomass is insane.
If any of that timber was good for larger pieces either structurally or aesthetically, I’m pissed.
If it was garbage wood, okay, plant new trees. They grow back.
Oh, that reminds me – Before I got out of Iowa, I was stuck waiting for a truck carrying part of a windmill tower to negotiate its way out of a gas station. It was a super-oversized load far longer and taller than regular traffic is rated for, and that engine was chugging down diesel trying to get it to the worksite.
No way those things will generate as much energy as is used to build them.
All my bedroom lights decided to burn out at the same time.
Are you sure it’s the bulbs and not the circuit? Even if the bulbs are all bad, might the circuit have damaged the bulbs?
I’d check the fuse/breaker.
Checked the fuse box and nothing…the over-the-bed reading lights are working. It’s just all the main lights that crapped out. It wasn’t EXACTLY the same time, but within about 2 days.
Rolling blackout!

I’m assuming the campground folk are largely couples, which can’t help.
It’s a couply-type endeavor, for sure. And there are way more solo women than solo men doing this lifestyle.
Slightly surprised by the latter.
Indeed. Anyone want to speculate on why this may be? Local variation? Some psychological difference?
Are you? I’m not, at all.
I mean, you can look at the data of how quickly widowers remarry vs. widows to get an indication.
Were I to speculate?
RVers skew retired and retired folks skew female.
Is that crazy-talk, KK?
The “RV Life” groups on Facebook are almost all couples or solo women. There are one or two solo men I’ve seen on those groups, and they’re all looking for a woman to come along with them. Very few of the solo women even mention finding a partner.
So we’ve established a factual pattern. But I still wonder ‘why’?
Are you expecting someone to fix the cable?
Jim Browning, whom I highlighted in my last Youtubes post, has a new, very educational, video out

Today, at a random gas station, I bought an ice scraper/snow brush that claimed to be made in the US for about $3. Of course, cynical me wondered if the step performed in the US was fitting the scraper to the brush, with the actual parts made in China. So I looked up the company. Turns out it’s Canadian, but they’re hiring Injection Molding technicians in Kansas, so I can only conclude that they actually do make these things in the US.
I’m actually somewhat happy now. Even if the darn thing breaks at the first bout of freezing rain.
