“Judge grants Trump’s request to have special master review Mar-a-Lago raid documents”
Odds on this being another deep stater like the Thibault FBI guy that just buries the real story so they can then pretend to have a veneer of legitimacy to go after the people that will not bend the knee to the deep state?
“Trump medical records, tax documents seized in FBI raid”
This “raid” was a comb fishing expedition – they are looking for something, anything, to charge him with, because after all, like them he was an old democrat back when, and that HAS to mean he is crooked – and a desperate attempt to find and remove any documents Trump is sure to have taken knowing the corruptocracy will never let the truth about how corrupt they are come out without him doing it to them.
Mark my words that we will eventually find out they were really looking for anything related to the Russia hoax and the false impeachments but they didn’t strike paydirt.

White House officials and Democratic lawmakers have attempted in recent days to reframe their position on school reopening policies amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Just wait. Within a month or so, Democrats will once again have always been skeptical of mask efficacy and dubious about the prospect of Trump’s rushed vaccine.
Of course! Cuomo is on record as saying he wouldn’t let that nazi toxin into NY!

I tried to play that computer game before I’d even read the books. It was so confusing that I failed to make it out of Arthur’s house before getting run over by a bulldozer. Had no idea what was going on. Don’t think it was made for filthy casual middle schoolers who’d never read the books.
That is so true. I still love playing text adventures. It’s much different seeing how there is a cheat guide for everything now.

Since the vaccine makers are immune from any form of liability for their products by statute, I doubt you could make anything stick against the retailers who sold and administered it.
Correct. The Prep Act declaration cover vaccinators.
What about the employers that mandated a dangerous experimental drug for everyone regardless of their underlying health?
I’m sure they’re covered as well — and if they’re not formally, all the judges happy to caper before the tables of their masters in the Establishment will be more than willing to stretch “government intent”, “public need” and “national emergency” into a blanket immunity.

“FBI ignored ‘eyewitness testimony’ of Joe Biden’s involvement in Hunter’s China deal”
If they were willing to not just turn a blind eye to criminal activity from the guy they wanted to put in the POTUS seat to get rid of mortal enemy #1 orange man, but make up hoax after hoax to take him out, including going to social media to coordinate (or tell them what they should say) on hiding criminal and illegal behavior of a presidential candidate’s crime family, do you still really think these people would not tamper with elections when the system is impossible to audit and they would be the ones doing the auditing in the first place?
Think about that…
I’m starting to think the FBI could be a bit biased.
I used to believe we had to reform it, but now I am starting to feel the people that told me it just had to go might actually see this problem clearer than I do…
If you can believe it, the FBI was probably actually worse under Hoover. It’s been a rotten, festering herpes blister on the ballsack of this country since it was still the BOI.

Grid operators are anticipating that the state could break the previous energy demand high set in 2006 – 50,270 megawatts – on Tuesday. Current forecasts indicate that demand could spike to 51,145 megawatts Tuesday, with Wednesday’s forecast expected to reach 50,002 megawatts, according to a System Conditions Bulletin released Monday.
Turn off the A/C in all state and local government offices. Let our benevolent overlords get what they want, good and hard.

The quickest way to stop the madness is to make sure any law passed by these people are immediately implemented on themselves first.
it is easy to grandstand and take dangerous positions when you will never ever have to deal with the consequences of those decisions…
“Individuals who used ivermectin as prophylaxis or took the medication before being infected by COVID experienced significant reductions in death and hospitalization.”
There are also studies showing it doesn’t do anything. Regardless, a more important question is whether it does anything after someone catches covid.
My advice to people right now is to NOT trust any claim made by any “studies” unless that study has been replicated, at least twice, with all the proper controls and numbers large enough to make sure the findings are solid. Especially claims that back up things you personally wish to believe are true.
Science is dead when it comes to anything related to this Kung Flu and AGW, political weapons of the resetters, because they have a political agenda because it is all politicized. On BOTH sides.
We will be lucky if we find out what really works or not a decade from now.
Yes. So much this.
My personal experience (and my wife’s) is that you almost immediately stop getting worse and with a full day of taking ivermectin, you are recovering from covid. And none of the “bounce-back” nonsense people get with the fancy Pfizer crap.
I’m not one to dismiss anecdotes, from the right sources they can amount to very strong evidence. However, there’s always the problem of timing with these sorts of things. You noticed you were sick and too ivermectin at some point already in the progression of the disease. Did ivermectin change the course, or did you notice the illness and take ivermectin just as the progression was peaking and about to wane? FWIW, I was taking ivermectin prophylactically in the summer of 2021, had very mild case of covid (I think) in the late summer – was it mild because of the ivermectin or because I’m generally healthy – and the severity of covid was/is very much exaggerated?
It’s a bit like masking ‘studies’ that cherry pick data on the imposition of mandates and see a decrease in cases – nevermind that mandates are generally applied on the ‘exponential’ rise portion of the spread. The disease will naturally peak and then fall. So there’s a built in bias for that sort of analysis to indicate mask mandate efficacy. But even with that built in bias, you have to cherry pick – in the ensemble, there is no support for efficacy in that sort of analysis.
I’m still on the fence about ivermectin. Unfortunately, with the violence that has been done – or has been revealed – in the field of medical science, I’m not sure we’ll get a good answer in the near future. My general distrust of doctors and medical scientists from the nutrition aspect has expanded to almost all areas. And that sucks
Reverse-Gell-Mann Amnesia?
The biggest confirmation that came out of this Kung Flu crisis for me was that the “expert class” was anything but comprised of experts, unless by experts you mean politically motivated scumbags and hacks…
Mind you, this is precisely why the global reset is being pushed: these experts KNOW they are inept fucks, and their greatest fear is that we start demanding they be held accountable for the evil they foist on us.
I thought one had to be discerning and perhaps trustworthy to become a doctor. Evidently just a good memory will do, one told me. Too many of them don’t understand figures.
The deifying of physicians in this country makes me want to vomit, honestly. The vast majority of practicing physicians that aren’t in research or an extremely niche sub-specialty that required another 12 years of education and residency are absolute fucking midwits. Getting an MD is a massive time sink with an artificially constrained supply due to the successful lobbying efforts of the AMA to keep those degrees and licenses scarce, and that’s all you’re paying for when you plunk down that 400 bucks for a 12 minute office visit. There are huge numbers of midwits who’d do perfectly well as a GP, but are too restless to sink 10 years and half a million dollars in student debt into becoming credentialed.
*Physician’s assistants wave hi*
This is the problem with the medical community trading every ounce of credibility and trust they built up over the past century for that sweet pharma cash.
I am very skeptical of anything, especially these days. But… My wife had a lot of success going to an ayurvedic doctor to get something for a severe lingering cough after her COVID infection.
I took ivermectin (pills) when I had covid and I don’t think it really helped.
However, considering how safe it is it was well worth the risk to at least try it.
You should be free of horse worms, though.
/snark
I’m not a doctor, but I was sure there were one or two other things that needed to be taken alongside for maximum effect.
Yes, I took the FLLC (?) treatment and continued getting worse.
I’m not dead though.
Good to hear.
Zombie commenters are disconcerting.
Think how bad it would have been without fllc (?) /Vaccine logic
Sorry, man.
No worries, 9 months have passed and it was still ultimately like having the flu.
However, considering how safe it is it was well worth the risk to at least try it.
^This x1000. There aren’t two equal positions here that have to be carefully evaluating before selecting one. One position wants to forcefully inject you with toxic shit that Pfizer’s July 2021 trial data dump showed vaxxed people were more likely to die from heart attacks than the unvaxxed were from Covid. There is strong evidence out there already about how dangerous the vaccines are for anyone reading through the data directly rather than summaries.
There is some of the strongest evidence out there for the safety of ivermectin as we have for any drug. It may not be effective against Covid, but there’s no harm in trying. The instant 180 by the government and media about how dangerous one of the safest drugs used over decades in billions of human administrations was startlingly for me. Why wouldn’t they want people try to dirt-cheap and safe ivermectin if there is any chance at all that it might be work? Might as well tell people not take acetaminophen, ibuprofen, or aspirin, all of which are more dangerous than ivermectin. Doctors were losing their licenses for prescribing ivermectin…. it’s unreal.
Covid is such a non-event for the vast majority of regular people (2 deaths out of 20k+ people over six months in the unvaxxed control group) that there is no panacea against it because none is needed. Ivermectin may reduce the impact at the same level of something like acetaminophen and can’t hurt to take. More meaningful is if ivermectin helps in that fractional population subset that Covid actually poses a real danger too.
https://frinkiac.com/caption/S09E01/1151483
I probably wouldn’t even take acetaminophen, even if febrile.
The studies I’ve seen that go against ivermectin were almost all designed to fail.
The same goes for HCQ.
This site aggregates the studies and gives a meta-analysis. https://c19ivermectin.com/
IIRC none of the studies that disproved HCQ and Ivermectin as useful combined the drug with zinc, which was shown to be useful very early on, especially in combination with those drugs.
“California could break record for energy demand this week”
The problem HAS to be with me. Cause I am feeling that anyone that demands we do something clearly dumb and bad, that then causes an insane amount of damage, should never again be taken seriously and be removed from any position where they could keep causing this sort of disfunction and destruction. But the idiots in Cali keep cheering on the moronics that are destroying their lives and granting even more power to these evil fucks.
How can we live in a world where the fucking same week that the people in charge pass a law stating they will get rid of any vehicle that isn’t electric in less than 15 years they also have to tell the serfs that they will be experiencing rolling blackouts. And they all now there will be nothing done between now and when they have mandated that electric cares be the only cars to address the energy need.
How are these people still allowed to even have a say in anything? Seriously?
Have we fallen so far that mediocrity and failure now are what provide people with credibility and respect?

Morning, Banjos. Thanks for that Amazon link… since almost every solar installation in the neighborhood (including mine) is rooftop (granted, smaller scale than Amazon), I’ll have something else to eat at the back of my brain now. Thanks for that! 😉
Europe (and California, and probably soon the rest of the US)’s energy situation is just bloody depressing. I swear there’s an argument to be made that post WWI and/or WWII a collective guilt crept into our consciousness, giving us the abandonment of empires / colonization (good) but this tendency towards suicide as well. “Nuclear is scary! We can base load with natgas and peak load with renewables until we figure out storage and grid loading. Yay frakking for cheap gas!”…. “NatGas is too much carbon! Frakking is evil! We’ll do everything with renewables and solve the storage as we go! Oh… and here’s a big middle finger to our natgas suppliers!” Boggles. The. Mind.
I don’t recall who linked it — but I knew someone had linked this about the clots the other day. Not saying it is right, just that I remembered reading it from other links and it is data and all.
The “nuclear is scary” comes from the destructive nature of the bomb combined with generic Malthusianism.
Progressives who hate to progress.
The roof, the roof, the roof is one fire!
The Brits are screwed. Liz Truss sounds like a moron and is a WEF member. The reports are that Boris Johnson torpedoed the early Ukraine peace talks and went all-in on the sanctions instead. Johnson actually had a decent long-term plan of new nuclear plants.

Federal Oil Leases Slow to a Trickle Under Biden
https://www.wsj.com/articles/federal-oil-leases-slow-to-a-trickle-under-biden-11662230816?st=hu4mjbsek0bdgxt&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink
WASHINGTON—The Biden administration has leased fewer acres for oil-and-gas drilling offshore and on federal land than any other administration in its early stages dating back to the end of World War II, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis.
President Biden’s Interior Department leased 126,228 acres for drilling through Aug. 20, his first 19 months in office, the analysis found. No other president since Richard Nixon in 1969-70 leased out fewer than 4.4 million acres at this stage in his first term.
You can’t drill your way out of high energy prices – Barack H. Obama.
Fast economic growth is a thing of the past – Other commie fucks
Then some orange ass comes along and forces the system to drill us down to the cheapest energy prices as well as removing a ton of fiat regulation that that results in the highest flying economy since the 80s, making the people that have been lying to us that we should just accept the status quo of them picking winners & losers, while they rip us off an get rich as fuck looting the coffers, go fucking ape shit on us all.
These energy related headlines are getting concerning. I have to fill my gas tank today. It’s a ford focus sedan, less than 12 gallons of regular. Given the state of the world I kind of wish I had the same car, but with a 24 gallon tank. That would give me almost 700 miles of range. Really going to think about range in whichever next vehicle I choose.
Man, Europe is screwed. America, despite our faults, is looking like a life raft.
Fastest horse in the glue factory.

I was looking at the price spread between Alberta NatGas and Dutch TTF NatGas; latest figures are:
Alberta: $ 1.90 USD/Gigajoule
Dutch TTF: $79.92 USD/Gigajoule
That’s a spread of slightly more than 42 times.
Yowza.
I have a rellie from Normandy flying in to Edmonton late this evening who’s volunteering at a horse facility in Saskatchewan for a couple of months; she’s going to experience price shock twice (when she arrives and when she flies home again). Sending them money isn’t going to help, since there’s not enough gas at any non-infinite price to supply them with all their needs.
A newer Jetta with the 1.4T or 1.5T engine – if you can stand the idea of having a German ticking bomb – can get something like a 500mile range on the highway. I routinely get 36mpg with mostly city and a little highway usage.
Even when gas was $5.13 I wasn’t that worried about filling up since it lasts me a month.
I paid $3.07 a gallon yesterday. but…

Did the head of the EPA step off the reservation and will need to issue a “clarification,” or is this a real policy shift?
I’d bet on “clarification”. Japan walked back its statements about a week ago.
Buyer beware…
The resetters have realized that because they had taken nuclear off the table, people with common sense had realized the whole thing about saving Gaia they were peddling was a politically motivated racket. Their opponents had correctly and accurately pointed out that without nuclear there was zero chance of a functioning modern green society. so the resetters have started acting like nuclear is part of the solution. However, it is all smoke & mirrors. Cause they are talking out of both sides of their mouths. Until I see the west standing up new gen 4 and 5 nuke plants by the dozens each year, I am going to keep to my belief they are deceiving people about their intentions.
Yeah, after seeing at least two waves of “next gen nuclear” attempted and throttled in the crib by regulations, law suits, etc…. my hopes for ever getting *anything* serious built in this country again barring a large mass of lawyers, regulators and the judges who enable them being put out to pasture are pretty much non-existent.
What’s even more depressing is that there doesn’t seem to be anywhere else that’s appreciably better. Vivre, c’est soupirer.
Imagine what kind of world it could be if real life billionaires behaved like the heroes in an Ayn Rand novel instead of the villains.
A cabal of mega-wealthy pricks spends a few billion dollars building a next-gen nuclear reactor in secret. By the time they’re found out, it’s too late for the state to do shit about it, unless they want to send in the military to attack a nuclear facility after whipping the public into a perpetual panic about so much as farting within 5,000 miles of a nuclear reactor for the previous half a century. It turns out the reactor works exactly as designed, and the government has no choice but to reverse itself or explain to the public why they deprived them of carbon-neutral energy for the next 500 years after whipping them into a perpetual panic about climate change for the previous half a century.
Imagine a startup violating, say, certificate of need laws, in the same way that Uber violated the taxicab regulations nearly every place they started operating. You think people were happy to have less expensive, more readily-available taxi service, imagine giving them, say, medical imaging that they could pay for out of pocket for less than their current copay.
One of the things that really brought me out of love with capitalism is that only evil pieces of shit or ineffectual bumblefucks ever seem to succeed at it.
Advanced nuclear energy = not quite ready to be commercialized, still need to do more research first.

Fuck that noise, if I’m going to pay over six figures for a property, the lot had better be measured in square miles.
Yeah, If I had it I’d consider $100 million and that small a lot if the underground vault was the main property. That would pay for a pretty decent setup and being in the Rockies would be good shielding.

What if I cut back on the labs, the death rays and other stuff like that. All I really would need are the facilities to house the various Bond Girls.
It’s a fair compromise for some people, I just don’t think I can live without multiple labs and a death ray the size of an observatory.
14,000 square feet on a 1.4 acre lot??? I have 2200 sqft on a one acre lot and I’d like more land. A house that large on that plot would look ridiculous,

“EXCLUSIVE: T20 cricket is backed to ‘explode’ in America by England’s World Cup winner Liam Plunkett… with £100m in funding already secured and franchises lined up for Dallas, Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco”

No.
why do you hate wearing white and drinking tea?
Oh, great – another retirement league.
Where the hell are they going to play it? There aren’t any cricket grounds in the US that I am aware of.
With a few kickbacks, they’ll get multimilliondollar cricket stadiums at taxpayer expense.
Oddly enough, Prairie View A&M (HCBU version of Texas A&M) has a button of cricket pitches.

As an HBCU I’m guessing they get a fair number of students from the Caribbean? Only thing that would make sense.
Considering the amount of Indian students at A&M College Station, I wouldn’t be surprised if we had one as well.
There’s one in suburban Cleveland. Set up by a large number of H1-B visa tech workers.
There are two, TWO, cricket-centric sporting goods stores in Forest Hills, Queens. Also, a Sikh grocery store that sells milk significantly below the NYC mandatory minimum price per gallon.
They’re able to sell it cheaper because they get it from the bull instead of the cow.
I can remember, way back in the day, going to Eisenhower Park on Long Island to watch my dad play softball and often seeing West Indian guys in their white uniforms playing cricket there, though I’m sure it was just on an open field and not specifically for cricket.
I saw a pickup baseball game in Hyde Park, London once. It was a ghastly sight.
Cart before the horse.

Was America unaware of the existence of cricket? No….

If this actually takes off, the only thing it would tell me is that the H-1B and friends program has stuffed those cities to the gills with South Asians… because they’re the only ones I’ve ever met here in the States who pay any attention to it (outside of joking Douglas Adams fans, of course).
Eh, cricket is more interesting than baseball.
Wish it was easier (or cheaper) to watch cricket in the US. Don’t get me started on sumo.
Thats “Krikkit”.
Good point – my coworkers go on about cricket all the time.
Northeast NJ is loaded with fans.
OTOH, the NYC area is also loaded with soccer fans but not many of them attend our US-ian teams – they only care about the teams from the countries they came from.
A friend was teaching me the rules the other day – we were watching India vs. Pakistan. It’s really not bad. T20 at least makes it watchable.

I worked for a German company and they were indeed crazy about insisting that any form to capture user information included a field where they could select “Dr.”
Those bastards take credentialism to a whole new level.
We used to joke about “Phd projects” that our German colleagues would engage in. By that we meant that they would be building something that made no financial sense for the company except that the project leader would use it as the basis for his thesis to get a doctorate.
So glad I don’t work there anymore.
I want to be in a position to keep calling the Herr Doktor Professors ‘Mister’ and watching them go ballistic.
Better yet to be able to wait for them to blow up over their credentials being ignored and informing them that nobody cares about their degrees.
They get uptight if you use nicknames, much less forget to add their honorific.
I used to tease one of the better Germans named Estephan by calling him Easy E all the time. He was OK with it, but there were at least two times someone else reached out to my boss to voice “concern” about my informality.

We had a very successful surprise party for my MIL’s 70th birthday this weekend. When she pulled up to my house there were 60 people on my lawn. Some of them were from a few states away so we had a lot of visiting and eating badly for three days. Now I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck. But hockey starts this week for me so I’d better get back on the wagon.
Wouldn’t a sled be what you want to get back on? Sure a wagon would give you a definite height advantage, but I don’t think it would be all that maneuverable.

A normal week while writing a book my ideal goal is 10k.
Which means averaging 2k per week day, assuming I’m taking weekends off, which I usually do now.
It’s never actually 2k though, because editing is slower than writing. So it’s usually more like 3k, 1k, 4k , 2k, 0 because that’s just how life is sometimes
GRRM writes 20k a day I assume.
I had a spreadsheet where I tracked my progress on some books, I can’t find it now. But it’s trivial for me to 1-2k here and there. I was easily exceeding 10K on days where I had dedicated myself to writing. What confuses me is this person’s workflow where they’re editing before the work is finished. Unless you run into something that derails the story and it needs to be ripped out, editing is an activity engaged in after you have a draft.

Democratic Socialist John Fetterman is now up by 13 points over Dr. Hollywood Oz in the Pa. Senate race (Franklin & Marshall poll). Fetterman even leads in the specific question about who will be better on economic issues. Oz, of course, has Trump’s endorsement yet is getting trounced in a state that Trump won in 2016 and would have won again in 2020 had the Hunter/Big Guy material been released before Election Day. The GOP primary was particularly packed with candidates. Each thought they would have a cakewalk in the general election to replace Sen. Toomey so they launched bruising attacks on each other in order to win the primary. Things are not looking good for the GOP to recapture the U.S. Senate, and the Red Wave – according to the polls, which are probably slanted – appears to be going out in the House as gas prices fall and the Covid nonsense becomes yesterday’s news. The Dems/Biden need to make some major mistake during the next two months or Biden/Harris will get two more years to run roughshod over the nation.
The Dems/Biden need to make some major mistake during the next two months
Like allowing a clear, transparent, and auditable elections process? Without such a process, the rest is meaningless.
Well if the carpetbagger’s Twitter game was better and he used veggie platter instead of crudités it might be closer race.
I recognize the parentally subsidized communist is worse, but I couldn’t pull the lever for Oz if I lived in PA.
Right? What a shitty race, but I would definitely pull the lever for Oz… But not expect much, Trump should have endorsed someone else. As usual he sucks at picking people.
I thought that was pretty evident from the few “The Apprentice” shows I saw.
I just find it improbable that a majority of Americans are A-OK with all the rest of the damage the Dems are doing to the US.
I know the GOP is adept at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory but come on – this is ridiculous.
A lot of them are. From their POV they got to stay at home, get free cash and generally it was a good time. And, hell, it had to be done, unless you wanted everyone to die like Republicans did. Well, do you want people to die?? Now, let’s talk about abortion…. I mean, women’s choice.
I know I’m a paranoid schizo, but does anyone actually believe there was ever going to be an honest election this year? Or perhaps ever again? That maybe this is narrative-priming so that it looks marginally less suspicious when the Democrats miraculously not just retain, but solidify their majorities despite controlling every branch of the federal government during the worst economy in 15 years with a doddering old buffoon threatening to call in airstrikes on the 70 million people who voted for his opponent in the last election?

…to 50 percent more than what they were two years ago. As the Dems tout their astounding successes over the last few weeks, just look around and know that this is as good as it gets under their rule. Standard Glib disclaimer: I’m not pumping the GOP as some sort of wonderful alternative.
The Dems have been awfully good at keeping their made-up fantasies top-of-mind in the public. I talk to people on a regular basis who tell me the January 6 riot was a constitutional crisis, end of democracy, etc. Hell, I talk to a few who think the Russians threw the 2016 elections to Trump.
Near total control of the media helps, quite a bit.

And about those booster shots, they were trialed on eight mice and no humans. Then they killed the mice to see if they had an “antibody response.” And the trial data hasn’t even made it past pre-print, but the FDA approved it anyway. You’re an absolute fool if you line up for that poison.
I never got vaxxed.
I got Covid January this year. Yes it sucked. But I was mostly normal by a week. Back to 100% in three. The thing I hated the most – and this is rare? – was the weight loss. A whole bunch of muscle mass said BYE because I had no interest in eating unless it was chocolate.

Crucially, it is U.S. Code 793, otherwise known as the Espionage Act, where the comparison between Assange and Snowden has been drawn.
Julian Assange has been indicted on 17 charges under the Espionage Act and one charge of computer misuse for WikiLeaks’ publication of secret American military documents 10 years ago. He faces a potential 175-year prison sentence.
Assange’s indictment sheet states a potential violation of section 793(e) of the Espionage Act, the same section of the act, which the DOJ also mentions in its affidavit to search Mar-a-Lago.
The Mar-a-Lago affidavit says: “Based upon the following facts, there is probable cause to believe that the locations to be searched at the PREMISES contain evidence, contraband, fruits of crime, or other items illegally possessed in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 793(e), 1519, or 2071.”
So, not only could Trump face charges under the same act as Assange, but under the same section of the act as well.
Edward Snowden is still wanted in the U.S. where he faces espionage charges. Snowden was granted asylum in 2013 and permanent residence in 2020 by Russia, where he remains.
A United States District Court filing from 2013, lists three charges including one under the Espionage Act, although not the same section under which Assange has been indicted (and Trump may face).
Broadly speaking, however, it is true that Trump could face charges under the same U.S. act as Snowden and Assange, if not for the exact number or type of indictments.
Firing squad at dawn.
Assange
a. Should not have pursued, jailed, or charged and
b. Couldn’t declassify documents at will.

Would it be wrong if I enjoyed some schadenfreude at the expense of Trump when he inevitably gets charged under the Espionage Act despite simping for the surveillance state and calling for Snowden’s and Assange’s execution for violating that very same blatantly unconstitutional sack of shit law?
I would find it grimly ironic, yep

I couldn’t pull the lever for Oz if I lived in PA.
The process has been refined over the years to reliably select the worst of the worst.
I can’t defend voting for OZ any more than Fetterman. Were the choices always this bad or do we know so much more about everyone now? Nearly all of the long term representatives in PA ended up being loved, some even after they left office for corruption. I think it depended on what kind of cabbage they brought back to the area that over whelmed any bad news or corruption accusations reported about them by the papers, news, and government organizations.
Looks like at least in my areas case they were always shitty. We were just less informed and likely cared less.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Flood
https://www.politico.com/story/2007/09/a-twisted-tale-of-congressional-earmarking-005667
Has Fetterman even campaigned? He just walks around in a hoodie during a heat wave saying weird crap and declining to debate because of his “health”. Wouldn’t that be his job as a Senator?
The Carhart Commie doesn’t need to do anything but send vaguely aggressive tweets about OZ. OZ is such a shitty candidate, all Fetterman has to do is counter with “you are an out of touch rich person from a different state”. Unfortunately the pseudo tough guy approach is going to appeal to low information voters and the centrist Dems and republicans, would have who in any normal year would have voted for Oz, are turned off by Trump’s support.

Wallowing in fear and despair
Zayon Martinez spent his final hour of second grade hiding under a desk while bullets flew through Robb Elementary School.
By the end of the carnage, 19 of his schoolmates and two teachers were killed. Now Zayon, who’s supposed to start third grade Tuesday, doesn’t want to set foot in another classroom, his father said.
“I went and talked to my son and I told him, ‘They’re gonna have more cops. They’re gonna have higher fencing. And he wasn’t having it,” said Zayon’s father, Adam Martinez.
“He said, ‘It doesn’t matter. They’re not gonna protect us.'”
Zayon’s fear is not unfounded. Since the tragic end to the last school year, the grief enveloping Uvalde, Texas, has been compounded by outrage.
Families learned law enforcement officers waited more than 70 minutes before entering the two classrooms where 19 students and two teachers lay mortally wounded.
And authorities repeatedly changed their stories about what happened as damning new evidence emerged.
Now, families who already lost one child in the massacre worry about sending another child back to school. And months of preparation by parents and school administrators will be put to the test.
——-
No students or staff will return to the site of the deadliest school massacre in almost a decade.
“We’re not going back to that campus,” Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District Superintendent Hal Harrell said in June.
——-
Martinez said both his children opted for remote learning. “I talked to my son and daughter, and they said that they were afraid that if it happened again, they weren’t going to be protected,” he said.
“There’s no fencing at the junior high where my daughter would be going. There’s no way that I’m gonna convince her to go when there’s no fencing.”
Let’s train a generation of children to be afraid of their own shadow.
To me, the main complaint was “They aren’t going to protect me.” If I was asked to go back to a campus where people died, and was told the same police force was going to protect me that failed previously, and I was not able to carry a weapon to defend myself – I wouldn’t go back either. You are being asked to put yourself under someone else’s protection. Fuck that. I’ll stay at home where I have a way to protect myself from intruders.
Agreed, given their personal experiences (statistics aside) this is completely understandable.
That would be a reasonable and emotionally healthy way of looking at things. I kinda doubt that it’s the majority view though…

Alabama funeral director Richard Hirschman told The Epoch Times that, prior to 2020, he found these clots in around 5% to 10% of the bodies he embalmed. This number has since increased to between 50% and 70%, Hirschman said. According to results from a lab in Texas, clots lack a number of key health markers for human blood, including iron, potassium, zinc, and magnesium. This suggests that the clots were not formed in blood, but further research is needed to identify the root cause and origin of these clots in bodies, The Epoch Times continued.

Isn’t there anybody willing to tell their kids the world is not actually full of psychos who just run around randomly killing people?
Given that he really was almost shot by a psycho, I would indeed tell him that, but also I don’t think I could force him to go to school in person.
My kids see the wife and I put on pistols every time we leave the house. They know it’s for protection because evil does exist in the world and pretending otherwise doesn’t seem right to me. My 7 year old target shoots and can cite the four rules of gun safety backwards and forwards. She actually called out a cop on a video for putting his hand in front of a barrel while clearing a handgun. I’m proud of that one. No different than her putting on a seatbelt in a car or knowing what a smoke detector is for. She doesn’t fear car accidents or fires.
Pretending evil doesn’t exist seems just as wrong as teaching your children to be terrified by evil. The message isn’t to fear evil, but to equip yourself to meet and destroy it. What a different society we would have if this was the norm.
It happens beyond random mass murders. A man tried to kidnap me in a wooded park when I was about 9 and isolated from my friends. I got away and took off. Another guy grabbed my wife at a gas station one night when she was driving across the state and demanded her purse. A third stranger again grabbed my wife and told her she was going home with him. This happened at a dollar tree of all places (so strange) and then waited for her outside until I showed up, armed, and then ran away. Unfortunately my wife was not armed in either of those two situations and had a different mindset. It would go down much differently now.

Erasure
Just months after the devastating mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, students are set to return to class on Tuesday. But survivors will never return to the building where 19 of their classmates and two teachers were massacred in May.
Robb Elementary School will be demolished, Uvalde’s mayor, Don McLaughlin, said during a July city council meeting, according to CNN affiliate KSAT-TV.
“We could never ask a child to go back, or a teacher to go back into that school ever,” said McLaughlin.
Demolishing schools after a mass shooting has become common enough that there is a federal grant process available, according to Texas state Sen. Roland Gutierrez.
“Make the scary monsters go away, Nanny!”
In related news, Pearl Harbor, Gettysburg, The Alamo, Lexington and Concord to be demolished. “We could never ask an American to go back into those battlefields ever,” said some pearl clutching retard.
There’s legitimate differences between battles and massacres…
I still agree, bulldozing the schools is stupid.
There’s probably an argument to be made that a battle which resulted in ~8,000 deaths from ~50,000 casualties, so close to a populated area that a young woman standing in her kitchen was killed by a stray bullet from the battlefield, was at least as traumatic as a school shooting. Townsfolk were rumored to have become violently ill for days afterwards from the stench of the rotting bodies and animal carcasses out in the summer sun.
Of course, I feel tremendous sympathy for the children, and I wouldn’t force my kid to attend school there any longer if they had been traumatized by the experience, but the dramatics go over the top. If anything they should have left the building standing as a monument to their shitty police force. Display the nice police academy graduation photos of all 200 fuckwad cops who sat there and did nothing besides stop bystanders from assisting and let that stand as their legacy for the next 200 years.
I’m digging the new AP style – “conventionally”. No idea on the truth of the propaganda and the actual story.
Ukrainian hackers have been baiting Russian troops into sharing their locations with fake profiles of conventionally attractive women on Facebook and Russian social media websites,
according to the Financial Times.

So actually pretty women then. Also, and I know you don’t care, story is too on the nose so likely bullshit.
That took me a minute. Hilarious.

They’re master baiting the Russian troops?
“Its mine, and Ill wash it as fast as I want!”
They also tried using other abled POC profiles but the racist, transphobic Russians weren’t falling for it. Even resorting to tranny dick pics, alongside rants castigating then as sexist if they didn’t suck female dick wasn’t working, so they had to resort to ‘conventional’ beauties.
Hot and horny collaborators in your area today
Yeah, I see that used a lot now. So stupid.
So if the insurance people total my truck, is there any reason I shouldn’t just get another Tacoma?
Just the issue of finding one you like for a reasonable price.
Yeah, I’m trying not to think about that.
Shouldn’t put the cart afore the horse, I guess. Or the new truck afore the old truck…
Those are fine trucks. I suggest looking in the deep countryside for trucks as opposed to shopping around urban centers. You can still find deals. The situation requires more labor, but is far from impossible/expensive.
Why do you need a truck
I don’t need a truck. I want a truck.
I want a truck because I want to be able to stay mobile on bad, unimproved roads while hauling a lot of gear and supplies.
Or you ca vote for higher taxes so you get better roads
In that case, better make it a Hilux. They even work in Somalia, where the libertarians did away with all the roads.
Who’s gonna tell Pat?
The Tacoma killed the Hilux just like Darth Vader killed Luke Skywalker’s father. They are not the same.
I suppose you could have one shipped:

Holy hell, it’s no wonder the Somalis have to resort to piracy with those prices.
I suppose if you are into things like reliability, value retention, being able to go anywhere, etc.
I can go anywhere in my opel astra at least once
I once drove my Toyota 4Runner up a long, rough, former railroad bed in the mountains. After a very long drive, I reached the top, above treeline. There was a small lake with a lone man leaning up against his Ford Fiesta, fishing.
LOL. I learned that in Costa Rica where I watched the locals navigate what looked like poorly maintained fire roads in the Sierras with Corollas.
No.
I sense a future glibflick.

Can you buy it back from them and have it fixed, or does it have serious frame damage?
Unknown until the shop/adjuster looks at it. But this is the second time I’ve been hit in the ass (pause) and last time I got a brand new replacement frame. This impact was much much worse.
Modern vehicle frames and chassis have been lightened for mileage. They replaced that weight with safety enhancements.
As a result, you’re generally safer, but your vehicle is not.
I’ve thought about getting some cheap, boring urban runabout for a daily driver, and then an older truck or body-on-frame SUV for my backcountry excursions. Something to think on.
“Conventionally attractive women” like Michelle Pfeiffer?
Don’t throw me in the briar patch, Brer Fox!
Off the cuff calculation: Average nuclear plant generates 1 gigawatt, enough for about 750K homes; cars use about 70% of the energy of an average home, so let’s say one plant can support about 1 million cars.
There are about 14 million registered automobiles in California, so they would have to start building about 14 additional nuclear plants right now to support that many new cars.
But there are about 30 million registered vehicles, so presumably it would take about 30 plants.
Better get crackin!
