Fair reaction to that dinger
The Yankees proved to be too much for the Indians. They head to Houston to start the ALCS tonight. The Phillies put on a pitching clinic and Schwarber hit a massive dinger as they took a 1-0 series lead in the NLCS. I think the NBA season started last night, but I don’t care. Europeans are no longer cool. And that’s pretty much it for sports.
I’m breaking my pattern today to give you this. It’s an absolutely shocking, yet wholly believable, story. This is what our federal law enforcement has become.
You want takeaways? I’ll give you a takeaway: There is no justice in the DC federal court. It has become a partisan judicial body and is a law unto itself.
No, not like this
Let me give you an alternate headline: Planes from several nations fly in international airspace. But that doesn’t get clicks, does it? I’ll also quote a classic movie here: This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we’ll be lucky to live through it.
Wait, I thought presidents couldn’t control gas prices. Oh that was while they were going up. Apparently they think the WH has a one-way lever. Which I guess they have, although it means further demoralizing our strategic reserve.
Yeah, this was a good idea. Jesus, who was running this school?
That’s some fine national defense work there, Lou. I doubt you’re any more surprised than I am, which is not very surprised.
How he sees himself
You’re half right, asshole. There was a triple-whammy: people willing to do anything to remove Trump, irrational fears, herd mentality by officials. Now shut the fuck up and go away forever.
Have they blamed the weapon instead of the killer yet? Don’t worry, it’s coming.
Hey, they’re just taking a page out of the Texas Dem playbook. Perhaps they should grab a case of beer and take selfies while on a plane headed to DC. Because y’all thought that was cool last summer.
Here’s something to make you happy. I know its needed after those links. And here’s a second dose with a fantastic video. Enjoy it.
And enjoy this freaking cold Wednesday. I’m off to watch Verlander redeem himself from the ALDS game one outing he had and hopefully get the Astros off to a good start against the Yankees.
Law enforcement entangled with the IC. And the whole “he may have had classified material! oh noes!” bit in the article — as if they don’t classify the lunch menu these days and claim “sources and methods” on everything.
The IC is completely out of control and has to be disbanded. They seriously think they run the country and everyone who disagrees is harming national security (because they’re always right).
Sigh.
It’s absolutely shocking. Yet not the least bit surprising.
whaddup doh’
I already told you.
Judging from the links: “Oh, I’m sorry — this is abuse! You want the door on the left down the hall” for an argument.
“you vacuous, toffee-nosed, malodorous, pervert!”
Multiple choice?
Yeah, this was a good idea. Jesus, who was running this school?
From the article:
The event was not sponsored by the school, and there were not students present at the event.
…and my outrage-meter fell to zero.
Yep. Damning photo out of context though.
C’mon, having a stripper is hetero-normative and patriarchal; it should’ve met with approval of all those in power, right?
Next week’s drag queen story hour sponsored by the LGTBQ Club will proceed as planned.
Student attendance for the event will be mandatory.
The US has almost single-handedly propped up the CCP for decades because profit. Yay us.
The capitalists will sell us the rope we’ll use to hang them with. Lenin
Yeah, didn’t really work out like he imagined.
There is a reason so many in our government tell us with a pining look in their eyes they wish America’s governing could be just like the CCP’s governing of the Chinese serfs, if even for a day.
That article is deeply disturbing.
And I don’t believe for one minute that “Ping-Chih Chen” didn’t know what he was doing.
Almost all the recent espionage against us in our national labs has been committed by “US Persons” with surnames that fit a certain pattern…
Fucking Italians. Ya can’t trust ’em.
Them and the Norwegian-American Unitarians. Commie bastards, the entire lot of them.
Wait a minute. I thought it was the Amish?
Nainggolan – shocking 🙄.
He is one of those players that gives me the impression I ought to take a shower if he comes within 25 feet or so of me.
I’m still stunned by the swift punishment meted out by that Belgian soccer team for something as minor as that.
I would have expected a bit of waffling.
None of that!
Yes syrup!
Had to be up at the asscrack of zero dark thirty for a work event in which I am in charge of the YouTube livestream. Now I have to sit here and listen to these bureaucrats vomit word salad about whatever the fuck for the next hour or so.
You know who should be on this discussion panel? That Margatte Wade that DEG talked about from Freedom Fest. She would never be invited to such a thing, though, given her love of markets & personal responsibility.
Some guy on the panel: “I agree with what my colleagues said”.
I don’t have a fucking clue what had been said – it is seriously a meaningless verbal diarrhea.
As long as they get to sniff each other’s farts and get paid to do so…
Any management type meeting is gonna be a bunch of dickheads trying to one up the other dickheads on throwing out the most current pseudo-technical tropes in the hopes they sound like they know what the fuck they are talking about. These things are absolute waste of times for everyone involved, and torture for any non-manager types forced to attend.
Machine learning! I don’t know what it is, but we need it in our project!

We also need socialization and stream consciousness to get adoption!
“I’m All In! That’s what AI means, right?”
Alex nailed it. Some senior dipshit at my company was using those sort of nonsense to relabel consumer and producer surpluses (while presenting pricing as a single vertical line) like it was some revelational discovery.
I felt like kids at the beginning of Super Troopers “Roll your eyes over!” “But officer, I can’t roll my eyes any more! They’re already rolled over!”
I read that as “Starship Troopers” and tried to think of the scene you were referring to. Then I got to the pancake titties scene and mentally checked out.
Throw in some blockchain.
As long as it doesnt escalate to dickwad or dickweed.

I like the people who have some sort of mental timer that goes off every so often that tells them that they have to say something to prove they are adding value to the meeting.
So yeah, something as stupid as “I agree with what my colleagues said” counts as helping to them.

That’s like UPS’s old “moving at the speed of business” line. That always cracked me up.
At the time their competition was the USPS, who “moved at the speed of Government”.
Lots of words like “institutions” and “structures” and “capacity” and “change management”
The more they talk the more they demonstrate they have no idea what they are talking about?
No synergies?
“Don’t you worry about blank – let me worry about blank!”
It was a public webinar for “local capacity strengthening”, whatever that means. If it was just a run of the mill internal meeting, I would have never agreed to wake up in the middle of the night (aka 6am).
That Margatte Wade that DEG talked about from Freedom Fest.
She is pretty good.
She would never be invited to such a thing, though, given her love of markets & personal responsibility.
It might put bureaucrats out of a job.

Let me give you an alternate headline: Planes from several nations fly in international airspace.
What a nothing article. Russian jets still probably make runs to Cuba and back along the eastern seaboard, and are escorted by USAF fighters along the way. It’s beyond routine.
BUT PUTIN!
I didn’t read the Fauci article, but I did watch the clip that Stillhunter linked to last night. I know that it’s all edited to make him look bad, but, man, he doesn’t need much editorial help to come across as an insufferable asshole.
The guy was (and is) tripping over himself to get on TV. And he did call himself “the science”. And instead of taking responsibility for anything, he’s using the Biden playbook and blaming everyone else. There is no context in which that doesn’t make him an insufferable asshole.
Fauci’s ego has never been the same ever since MTV chose The Situation to star on Jersey Shore instead of The Science.
The saga continues….
“In an email sent to Watson on Monday, a representative said they “sincerely regret the enjoyment and comfort” of her flight was “diminished due to another customer exceeding their seat’s space”.
The representative informed Watson she would have been entitled to move seats had there been an alternate option available on the flight.
In a “gesture of goodwill”, she was issued a $150 Trip Credit.
“I’d rather take the $150 American Airlines offered me as a refund and give it to someone who needs a PT or a gym membership,” she wrote.”
https://nypost.com/2022/10/18/airlines-stunning-flip-after-woman-says-she-was-trapped-between-overweight-people/
American airlines supports their customers through thicc and thin.
They certainly couldn’t fit three thiccs in a row.
$150 trip credit (probably a few strings attached as well) = stunning flip – don’t change NY Post.
CHICAGO TOPS ORKIN’S RATTIEST CITIES LIST FOR EIGHTH CONSECUTIVE YEAR
I’m still not going to visit Chicago.
I object. People in Chicago never rat anyone out. Snitches get stitches.
I haven’t seen any rats near the rink lately, but two or three years ago a teammate and I were walking toward the entrance and a pretty big one ran right in front of him, about 6 inches from his foot. *shivers*
Ol’ Francis remounts his hobby horse.
I mean, okay, he’s really thinking about everywhere but here, but that’s a rather large omission in terms of thinking about how liberalism is doing around the world. When it is dying in its most natural home, why run around singing hosannas about how the rest of the world is going to come around?
He’s such an asshole.
Perhaps if “liberal democracy” weren’t just another form of totalitarianism, we wouldn’t be here.
We’re neck deep in fascism, but because we don’t have Glorious Leader, these idiots (him and so many others) think “this is fine”.
That’s the bizarre part. I think Fukuyama actually buys his own bullshit.
It’s only fascism when people you don’t approve of or like do it…
When your people to it, it is Social Justice or some such trope.
I was understanding “liberal” democracy to mean classical liberal – in this sense, a democracy constrained by the (classical) liberal rights of the minority.
Fukuyama uses “liberal democracy” in replace of “what the US/European elites want.”
He’s banking on people sticking to the traditional definition in order to gain support for the idea. He’s no better than the progs in this respect.
There’s a strawman for the ages.
Meanwhile these assholes swoon over the Kiwi prime minister sealing people up in their homes Cask of Amontillado style because Kung Flu.

Or “kinetic police action”.
The officer’s gun discharged resulting in the hinges of the door being removed.
No, another Church Committee is not going to help. Raze the institution – burn it to the ground and salt the earth it stood upon. Banish everyone above a first-level supervisor, the rest may find other employment in this country.
Razorfist made this point once: We have the ATF, DEA, Border Patrol, US Marshals, Homeland Security, local, county, and state police. What does the FBI do that isn’t already being done by all those other agencies?
Go after political enemies of team blue so the DOJ could then show enemies of the cabal not to fuck with it.
Well, there are fugitives and inter-state crimes.
I would get rid of ATF, DEA, and DHS.
I would get rid of all of those agencies (along with a few others) and reform the FBI into an unarmed, unbadged information coordination agency. Every single thing they do (outside of DC) is in a state, all of whom can investigate federal crimes already. For DC, cut out all non gov’t buildings and have the military investigate anything that happens.
Marshals can handle fugitives.
As far as interstate crimes, I’ve been told that it’s nearly impossible to get any help from them if it’s not something high profile. Even if local detectives do all the work to build a case and hand it to them with a bow on top, they aren’t interested if it won’t generate headlines.
I told you from the start. Durham’s job was to seal the coverup. They went after low level fall guys in a very tepid manner. And even that was swept away.
Contrast with the “non-existent conspiracy” …. They went after Flynn for false statements and wanted and obtained long jail terms …. For statements that were reported to be not false by the very investigators that the prosecution relied on. And another DC judge would not let them drop the charges when it was proven that he was framed.
This is how corrupt they are.
A leftist like Rachel Maddie can defame someone saying “,this is literally true, I have the proof” and the court says that no reasonable person could believe it, while Alex Jones says something that nearly every human on the planet publicly called a kooky conspiracy theory and the court says that it is worth a billion dollars in damages.
We used to laugh at dictatorships and totalitarian governments for stuff like this. What is wrong with us? Why do we tolerate this corruption?
Because we’re still relatively comfortable.
The corruption will stop being tolerable the second night after the grocery stores are empty.
Because enough people believe the ends justify the means. They support abuse of power as long as it rewards friends and punishes enemies.
“I told you from the start. Durham’s job was to seal the coverup. They went after low level fall guys in a very tepid manner. And even that was swept away.”
The problem is Washington D.C. There is no way to get a judge or empanel a jury there that will not be a corrupt democrat rubber stamping one that will let every democrat criminal off and throw any political enemy in jail despite there being no crime.
I have no idea if Durham knew this when the trial went there or not, but by now it is obvious no criminal activity done by any entity that helps the team blue crime syndicate will ever result in accountability and redress.
All trials of DC officials should be held outside of DC, like in Kansas.
Yup.
Danchenko walks while Bannon waits for sentencing…
Look at the difference in how they went after Trump’s people. The did not restrict their investigation… They found any lever they could pull to force cooperation. A son with unpaid taxes, a contact the government told you to make… Anything. They were going to put people in jail for decades unless they rolled over.
And remember, they invented the entire thing out of whole cloth.
From public documents we know the conspiracy was directed by Obama personally, and it was run by the director of the CIA and the director of the FBI.
So you have a large target area. Instead of going after a PI with a tiny charge inside the conspiracy, a real federal prosecution would have targeted any crime they could find to force the cooperation of the campaign aids, mid level FBI guys, CIA managers… Everyone in the food chain. They would find the daughter who smokes pot and does molly on the weekend and held her freedom hostage pending cooperation. Within a year they should have had all of the FBI top brass in a wine press, with the white house the next target.
Instead they went after a lawyer for forging a document and left it at that.
No federal prosecutor I have ever heard of prosecutes a white collar crime like that.
He is not the valiant warrior against the machine (although the machine undoubtedly exists),he is the retiring veteran of the machine, tasked with running out the clock and sealing off the last avenues of attack so that Trump II or DeSantis cannot come in and clean house.
As good a summary as I have seen of the Durham coverup.
Imagine what they would have done to any Republican if they had a laptop documenting a mult-year, multi-million dollar crime spree directly implicating the Republican.
Imagine what they would have done to any powerful person who’s name was on a list of people who were given access to underage girls for sex.
Funny how that works out….
They are doing it. Just not in a court of law.
I don’t need to imagine after I saw them INVENT crimes when they couldn’t find any.
I told you from the start. Durham’s job was to seal the coverup. They went after low level fall guys in a very tepid manner. And even that was swept away.
Belief that Durham would clean house was not much different in the belief that QAnon was real.
That’s doing the quiet part out loud, out very loud. Count every vote is apparently count any vote you can scrounge up.
Didn’t NYC try that and it got struck down?
The NYS Constitution was quite clear on that, however.
How does that work? Are they going to have separate ballots for the illegals with only local races on them? A separate voter registration category so they know who to give the special ballots to? To get a full ballot you’ll have to prove citizenship? I thought the Dems were bringing lawsuits against requiring proof of citizenship, voter ID, all the stuff you’d need to let illegals vote, but only in local races.
Narrator: They won’t only be voting in local races.
How does that work?
With as little oversight as possible.

” ‘Gender-affirming’ mastectomies for children soared 389% from 2016 to 2019
In 2016, approximately 100 adolescents underwent “gender-affirming” chest reconstruction surgery, according to a research letter published in JAMA Pediatrics. Only a few years later, the number of children receiving the gender-mutilating operations soared to 489, a 389% increase.
Researchers drew on data reported by the Nationwide Ambulatory Surgery Sample to estimate that 1,130 chest reconstructive surgeries were performed on children from 2016 to 2019.
Over 98% of those surgeries were masculinizing mastectomies. Only 1.4% were feminizing, or augmentation, mammaplasties. Of the children who received the chest reconstruction surgery, 19.9% were also placed on hormone therapy…
The patients ranged from 12 to 17, and approximately 5.5% were reported to be under 14. The majority of patients were 17 years old.”
https://www.theblaze.com/news/gender-affirming-mastectomies-for-children-soared-389-from-2016-to-2019
It’s much higher now. Also, less than 20% of them were on hormones? That makes no sense.
I remember all the way back to June of this year, when the trans promoters were vehemently denying that they did surgery on minors. Turns out its been going on for years, huh?
And since is removing breasts “reconstructive” surgery, anyway?
Hormones have a lower profit margin?
At the risk of coming across as downright evil, I am starting to think I really don’t fucking care if evil parents destroy their children’s lives and minds by enabling this transgender shit. Yeah, I feel sorry for the poor kids whose lives and mental health are destroyed by this shit, but the vast majority of these kids will grow up to be fucking evil leftist douches like their parents anyway. Of course, the machine will find a way to make those of us that see this idiocy for what it is pay for it and all the consequences to their stupidity, so that is my sole motivation now to want to stop this shit.

There are more stories emerging of girls who got the chop to become “trans-men” regretting it within a few years.
I hope they get widely circulated so as to cause a bit more contemplation before parents and kids make these decisions.
Also, I’d love to see statistics on how many of these trans teens are from home where they have both mom and dad, as opposed to broken homes.
Look, those people are just a tiny minority, not at all representative of the overwhelmingly huge numbers of trans people who just want to live their lives.
/derp
It is really baffling to me how often the decisions to go with this crap is more about the parents virtue signaling to their communities than it is about helping the kids. What could be wrong w/ making a kid wait until they were more mature and could themselves then make the decision just to avoid ruining their lives more than they already have by being woke idiots?
something something puberty something wRoNg SeX!
/derp
Many parents are being scared into it by being told their kid will commit suicide if they don’t go along with it.
The kids are more likely to commit suicide if they do go along with it.
That’s not true either, or at least isn’t yet.
Like abortion regret, those will be memory holed and ignored.
JP covers this
“There are more stories emerging of girls who got the chop to become “trans-men” regretting it within a few years.”
And they are being viciously attacked for coming out.
“Wait, I thought presidents couldn’t control gas prices. Oh that was while they were going up. Apparently they think the WH has a one-way lever. Which I guess they have, although it means further demoralizing our strategic reserve.”
The infuriating thing about this whole affair is that everyone knows the solution, because we already saw it in action. However, these corruptocrats do not want to enact that, because they need to keep the green bullshit that allows them to steal hundreds of billions of tax payer dollars every year to be justifiable, which won’t be the case if the US becomes energy independent -again, like it was under the evil orange guy – and people start realizing how much money these crooks are fucking stealing.
No they are not realizing how much they are stealing.
We just spent … Well, nobody knows. Maybe $12 trillion? Whatever, it was several years federal budget that we spent without debate and without any real idea of what it was for or why yet another couple of billion was needed when the first traunch had not even been spent.
They used to skim millions. Then it was billion dollar contracts.
Now?
How much graft is there in a $1.5 trillion dollar “infrastructure” bill that includes no infrastructure? $150 billion would only be 10%. And they don’t seem to be hiding the fact that these things are not just contracts with some fat to skim, but they are all skim, no project.
That $5.00 two liter? Yeah, that devalued dollar is paying for that multi trillion dollar plan.
News reports on the radios framed it as “The president is making moves to lower gas prices…..” nothing is even being tried to hide the bullshit anymore.
“I mean, you couldn’t get more … cards stacked against you, than right there. It was a triple whammy.”
Damn dirty apes; how dare they refuse to obey?

Looks like Scott Adam’s Dilbert anti-ESG campaign – which got him canceled by a bunch of outlets that know Dilbert sets the bar for the real world when it comes to calling out corporate stupidity, and were hoping to prevent that marxist shit being foisted on us from being taken down – is producing the right results. ESG is a marxist evil plot. It needs to not only die, but become a vehicle to allow all shareholders negatively impacted to sue the people that peddled and went along with this shit that cost these small investors – the ones with 401Ks – to take losses so the big corporations selling out to government green criminal rackets could make bank. The only way to kill this shit is to make the fucks peddling this marxist crap suffer for this banditry.

How Blue is Minnesoda? Well, the local FOX news station is showing that it can “factcheck” with any Big Eastern newsroom
Take that you lying GOP scum! Sure there were so few carjackings before 2020, that they didn’t even bother creating a code, but that shouldn’t be misconstrued as saying there is a surge. Besides all the big Blue cities have had a surge in car jackings.
Is there a difference between car jacking and auto theft? Inquiring minds and all. The results are pretty much the same
All car jackings are auto theft.
Not all all auto thefts are car jacking.
Carjacking implies assault and/or battery as well as grand theft.
Big difference. Like the difference between a home invasion and a burglary.
Or armed robbery vs. pick pocketing.
I thought being car jacked was considered a badge of honor and a sign of how down you were with the progressive movement amongst the Minneapolis college educated honkey women? And if they also robbed or raped you, it was reparations or something.

Fucking useless team red idiots. Fuck, NO!
Your first tasks should be to address the things that concerned people and made them turn away from team blue’s crime syndicate: the economy. Fix energy policy and restrict government spending as much as possible. Roll back as much of the team blue cash giveaway as possible. Help the people getting squashed by the globalist’s plan get back on their feet.
Once you have that economic improvement program rolling, THEN , you go after the criminals. If you do this in the wrong order you will pay for it in 2024.

While I was in news blackout mode on my jaunt to Ohio, I thought I saw something on a teevee (no sound) about Biden making some sort of oil deal with Venezuela. Will we be shipping them pallets of cash so they can pay the Chinese to get their oilfield infrastructure back on line?
They send us oil, we agree to take all their entire population and send them to red states near you, or Virginia at least. The entire population of El Salvador are lonely down there in NOVA.
What would be the pros/cons of a Federal law or Constitutional Amendment that specified that any Federal case against a citizen must only be prosecuted in, and the jury, if any, empaneled from the local jurisdiction in the defendant’s area of residence?
Certainly there would be some allowance for moving jurisdiction for high profile cases but not further than some maximum radius.
The idea would be to prevent politically oriented cases from being brought and triednin jurisdictions that have particular association with political/government employees, such as Washington, D.C, and its environs.
Would give a bit of an advantage to defendants. Rob a bank out of state and witnesses and everyone else would need to be transported to the defendant’s jurisdiction. Also, how do you establish that when you are in the fact finding stage of an investigation? Which court would issue warrants or subpoenas for evidence? There’s a reason it’s supposed to be in the jurisdiction where the crime occurred.
Better to decrease the number and scope of federal crimes, imo.

Has anyone heard anything about Jack Ma? When you are putting people in gulags for protesting, how far off can it be?
He reappeared at some point, have they redisappeared him?
Yes, after he did his public apology tour he again was disappeared…
Didn’t you read 1984 and come to understand how this shit works? You need to make the person that has transgressed beg for forgiveness so others get the message. Only then can you terminate them.
The book got boring when Julia showed up.
I also don’t see Savannah Guthrie doing interviews with the family talking about how concerned they are… Pivot to constitutional lawyer talking about the existential threat posed to democracy by this attack on the free press…
But she had time to do multiple interviews with Nathan Philips to make sure everyone knew that Nick Sandmann was a racist Trump supporter.

“We’ll, I’m just going to get all sweaty and sticky and nasty anyway, so why bother?”
He wants her to have an enema every time before anal sex, that seems a bit unreasonable.
The professionals do it that way. At least that is what the documentary said…
So you’re saying he should try paying her to do it?
Yeah, it’s either some sort of kink, or he’s mentally ill, or she’s really uncouth or something. It’s odd to say the least.
Or she keeps having one on deck and he’d rather not bump into that….
Hey, if you’re not gonna clean up before, you’re gonna have to clean up afterwards…
“An enema can affect the natural PH in the rectum. It’s not a good idea to do this immediately before sex.”
I may have missed that day of health class, but does the lower bowel have a pacific pH ?
DENIERS!
Are they ever going to get some new material?
She is playing this very well. There’s a clip of her verbally smacking down a reporter about this. She has a stack of stories printed out of Democrats denying elections, and she asks why they aren’t considered election deniers.
She really needs to be tutored by the good Republicans in the Turtlehead camp to be quiet about stuff like that so we can have the desirable balance of politics as usual. That is what everyone desires after all, can’t we just go back to normal, the good old days?
The Narrative Machine is nothing if not predictable. It would be child’s play to front run them on every gotcha issue. The sad thing is, so few do it.
They all have cushy political offices where they do little if any work, get paid well with tons of benefits and possibilities and if they get voted out will land on some corporate board with better bennies and pay than they already had.
Pay no attention to the Stacey Abrams behind the curtain.
Where did they get a curtain that wide?

Of course all you have to do is check the answers that they expect. Do you recognize that white males cause all the world’s problems? What do you do when you see a white male?
a. Frame him for some sexual thing from 40 years ago.
b. Get him fired for a racist remark from 40 years ago.
c. Dox him and call the swat team on him.
d. All of the above.
Just check D, you are on your way to passing this!

When I worked at GE back in the mid 1990s we had a married male manager with kids in college that had been caught breaking into the home of another manager – a female one – he had a thing for and had already gotten in trouble with HR a couple of times about to replace the cassette in the sound activated VCR system he had installed in their bedroom. Something about they had supposedly left for a weekend trip but had forgotten something and doubled back to find him in there with his getup. I got the story, from the gossipy secretary that sat close by me (we both sat in the cubes right across from the office spaces these managers all occupied).
Anyhow, the manager lady got a hush payout of a couple of millions, after tax, the guy was unceremoniously fired and perp walked out that first Monday morning during a meeting with his staff, and we all got told we had to attend mandatory sexual harassment training.
I had to take that fucking training twice because I was pissed for being punished due to some asshat tat should have known better and after complaining about the mandatory class asked the trainer who I had to sexually harass to prove I knew how to do it already.
In addition, officials told reporters on Tuesday as they previewed the announcement, the administration will take the unusual step of planning to buy oil to rebuild the strategic reserve once crude hits between $67 and $72 per barrel. The officials said that step is meant to send a clear signal to the market and incentivize domestic oil production.
To that end Biden will also go after oil companies in remarks on Wednesday — accusing them, as he has in the past, of price gouging at a time of historic profits.
“Incentivise” the price gougers? Is this some sort of negging tactic?
Remember the Carter era windfall profits tax? Biden does….

I just don’t know how you do Doggy, Tres. You must have went for that super extension.
I have a really hard time understanding what I am reading here.
It sounds like they are saying that they wanted to hook onto a bigger influencer to raise their profile, but it turned out the influencer was interested in a personal sexual relationship instead?
“Tricked”?
We have gotten to a weird place if cosplay people are claiming talking to cosplay people is “the workplace” and bringing sex talk into that workplace is sexual harassment. I thought that was the whole point…. Maybe I just don’t understand cosplay.
You know how they do it, it’s the Rainbow Fentanyl of course. They should be ashamed, Rainbow Fentanyl is for kids! There won’t be any to pass out to the Trick or Treat kids if they use it all up for rape.

The Ministry of Plenty will be happy to tell you what a “reasonable” profit looks like.
We should just be happy they let us keep any. We’ll all soon own nothing and be happy. Except for Gate of course, who will have all the farmland in the US. Not sure why I find all of that disturbing. I know we should trust Bildo, I just do not.
Good morning, Sloop!

Thank you, I did. Interesting how healthy everyone looked back then.

“The president’s committed to doing everything in his power to respond to the price increases resulting from [Vladimir] Putin’s war. That’s what he’s done,” one senior official said on Tuesday, referring to the administration’s view that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the resulting U.S.-led opposition have upended energy markets.
“These new announcements are a continuation of that commitment,” the official said.
Other actions potentially include some limits on oil companies’ exports to other markets, the officials said — with the first official telling reporters: “We’re keeping all tools on the table, anything that could potentially help ensure stable domestic supply.”
All the tools. Within reason, of course.
We don’t want to sacrifice the Green New Deal over short term thinking light warmth in the winter, or uninterrupted electricity supplies. We have a New Normal in the pipeline.

The cost of gas, paired with overall high inflation, have led to months of withering criticism by Republicans as polls show voters are sour on Biden’s handling of economic issues.
No shit, Shirley?
Republicans pounced!

More proof they just need to get better at messaging.
Call me crazy but, now hear me out here, maybe, just maybe, voters are actually pissed off about being robbed blind by inflation and it has nothing whatsoever to do with Republican criticism?

Diversity is our strength!
THE U of M regent in trouble for asking if a remote campus might be a bit too diverse.
Someone might want to ask the kid who is claiming a 10-1 advantage for diversity if he has take any math classes. Because giant enrollment declines don’t scream “people want to come here because of our diversity”
After years of campuses trying to create areas that are verboten to whites, doesn’t that count as a success?
Talk about burying the lede.
TMITE certainly know who their core audience is.
https://news.gallup.com/poll/403166/americans-trust-media-remains-near-record-low.aspx
“70% of Democrats, 14% of Republicans and 27% of independents saying they have a great deal or fair amount of confidence”
Those numbers alone, in a sane world, would be enough for journalists to at least scratch their heads. Given that their main role is DemOp propagandists, since they have effectively created an echo chamber in which they’re just repeatedly preaching to the choir, how effective is the propaganda?
Propaganda that keeps the herd in line still serves a function.

If only they could suppress misinformation that is challenging the narrative.
Enrollment at Morris has plunged from over 1,900 a decade ago to just 1,068 this fall. That decline is much greater than the 29 percent enrollment drop that all of the state’s colleges and universities have seen in that time.
Houston, we have a problem.
The school’s largest minority group, at 32 percent, is American Indians, who get free tuition under a federal mandate related to the campus’s history as an Indian boarding school.
I’m not sure if the Feds funded that mandate or not. If they didn’t fund it and are making the state eat the cost of those students attending for free, that is also a big problem.
Plummeting enrollment that is only being propped up by customers who don’t pay anything is no way to make a buck.
They’ll make up for it in volume.

Question:. My supposition has always been that Reason is frequented by a few paid trolls from DNC affiliated groups.
Yet we remain mercifully free from such targeting.
Does anyone know how our page views compare? The discussion is certainly more spirited and engaging here, even though I would assume a wider audience reads Reason.
Still…
Is it only the moderation? Have they attempted to make landfall here and been rebuffed? The partisan shilling is one reason TOS lost it’s once vibrant libertarian discussions.
I think it would be hard for DNC affiliated trolls to remain incognito here for too long Cyto. And we will dog pile them hard when we figure them out, so it doesn’t work well for that business model.
I doubt we present any threat to the regime. I can’t recall any specific effort to slide a Koch in here.

Authentic progressive gibberish
After acknowledging and celebrating our history, as well as recognizing the Latinx champions who came before us, the commemoration of Latinx Heritage Month is once again fading from the nation’s collective consciousness. Every year, the same goes for Black History Month or Indigenous Heritage Month.
As a brown person who works in partnership with organizations that advocate for Black liberation, I believe the solution lies in BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and people of color) unity.
This week, that unity has been threatened. The release of racist anti-Black rhetoric from three Latinx members of the Los Angeles City Council has exposed fractures in a political partnership that has been essential in the fight for equity and justice across California and the nation. President Biden himself has weighed in on the events, calling for the leader’s resignation.
LA’s model of ethnically diverse governance is under threat, and its fallout would have major national implications ahead of the November election.
Now, more than ever, BIPOC allyship needs to be recentered in the heart of our shared fight for equity and justice.
In my work, I’ve seen first-hand that to achieve abject justice and equity in this country, BIPOC activists must work together, uplifting and rebuilding vibrant, healthy communities across the country.
Diversity, shmersity. Get back on the bus. We, your racialist overseers, will provide you with a set of approved beliefs.
They aren’t real Latinx.
Sure. Strength in numbers. What could go wrong?
Wait…. Why aren’t the BIPOC’s talking about the Asians or other ((Allies))? Shouldn’t they be let into the Big Tent?
In any event, the quickest way to destroy any such coalition is to give them a big pot of money with no strings attached. “Here’s a billion. Divvy it up however you like”. Within a month the coalition will have split into various factions over arguments about who gets what. Surprisingly the factions will all align pretty much along old tribal lines. The Blacks will be fighting the Indians who will be fighting the Latinos.
BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and people of color) unity
Oh, are we not doing intersectional stacks any more?
Our shared BIPOC struggle, reflected during annual heritage months, clearly articulates the fight for liberation across race and class, against white supremacy. It’s time we harness that momentum and turn it into a moment of unity, bringing together new and growing coalitions.
Are you of the Body?
BIPOC allyship – https://youtu.be/lpEl5e-t6lY
The through line is clear, and, as coalitions, we must unify our shared generational experience of disinvestment and work to transform the social and economic conditions that foster addiction, crime, violence and poverty by building community-based institutions that involve millions in creating, influencing, and changing public policy. We are stronger together.

Looks like a big fight ahead in Kherson.
I guess now we’ll be treated to good old fashioned war war. Fools.
Those damn Ukes, starting a war with Russia.
My question: Why would Ukraine destroy a damn and trigger a massive flood of a river that it needs to cross? Isn’t that more of a defensive tactic that one would expect the Russians to do?
Remember, this is from the governor of Kherson.
I don’t believe anything I read except that a shit ton of young men are going to die.
Which is, of course, the point.
I would think it depends on where you’re crossing, if you want to cross the upstream side then blowing up the dam could dramatically lower the water levels.
Good point. Based on the map, though, it looks like there aren’t any bridges or other crossings upstream of the dam. I’m going to say the Russian governor’s announcement is maskirovka for the Russians blowing the dam.
Which, by the way, is not a small undertaking. The Russians are in a much better position to blow it while they have control of it, than the Ukes would be in mid-offensive.
Agreed, that’s the most likely explanation.
Surprising to whom, exactly?
New polling backs up what Republican gubernatorial nominee Rep. Lee Zeldin has argued for months: He is much closer to beating Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul this November than many people expect in solidly blue New York.
“We’ve consistently been gaining massive ground on Hochul as New Yorkers witness first hand her abysmal record on the issues more important to them — crime, the economy, corruption and more,” Zeldin crowed Tuesday after a Quinnipiac Poll showed him just 4 points behind Hochul, who had a 50% to 46% lead overall among likely voters.
The survey – which found crime and inflation were the top two issues for voters – is one of several in recent days highlighting how far Hochul has fallen.
Past surveys suggested weeks ago she was ahead by landslide margins as big as 24 points in a state where registered Democrats outnumber Republicans by roughly two-to-one, but that has changed amid incessant attacks by Zeldin over bail reform and rising crime

Devastation and despair
Sweden’s new right-wing government has sparked an outcry after scrapping the Ministry of Environment in a move the opposition has branded “devastating”.
Previously, the ministry was a high-profile stand-alone department with a minister in the cabinet, but now it will operate as part of another ministry instead.
Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson unveiled his new cabinet on Tuesday, and although he did appoint a Minister of Climate and Environment — 26-year-old Liberal MP Romina Pourmokhtari– she will work under Christian Democrat leader Ebba Busch, the new Minister for Energy, Business and Industry, rather than lead her own ministry.
The leader of the Swedish Greens, Per Bolund, noted that for the first time in 35 years Sweden would have no dedicated environment ministry.
“It is impossible to describe more clearly how little this government values the environment and the climate. This is a historic decision with devastating consequences for environmental issues”, said Bolund.
How much does this hair-on-fire shrieking contribute to global warming?
Now that is how you deal with an out-of-control bureaucratic fiefdom. Are you paying attention, GOP?
inorite?
If the Swedish people find it so “devastating”, they can always vote in some commies next time.
The GOP can’t even kill PBS.
Department of Energy can lock the doors, Biden can run things from the Oval Office

“Scrapping”? They are still employed and still doing damage to Sweden. Scrapping would be “People who worked at this ministry are no longer employed by the government and the agency’s role is abolished. Any regulations promulgated under the authority of the agency are hereby abolished.”
I’ll be in my bunk.
Pär Holmgren, a Swedish Green Party MEP, said, “expect huge cuts in green funding leading to a devastating impact on climate policies that we, the Greens, worked so hard to put in place.”
Isabella Lövin, chairperson of the board at the Stockholm Environmental Institute and herself a former minister of environment, said that green issues in Sweden had been “set back 35 years”
