World Cup fans find booze at hotels, Qatar’s 1 liquor store
DOHA, Qatar (AP) — In a dusty neighborhood on the outskirts of Qatar’s capital, guards stand duty at a gated compound ringed with razor wire, carefully checking passports and permits before allowing anyone inside. But this isn’t a prison or a high-security area associated with the ongoing World Cup.
It’s the liquor store.
Rigid limits on alcohol are a fact of life in this conservative Muslim nation on the Arabian Peninsula, which follows the same strict Wahhabi interpretation of Islam as its neighbor Saudi Arabia. Soccer fans coming to Qatar for the World Cup got a taste of that just before the tournament as authorities cancelled beer sales at stadiums.
Yet corks continue to be popped in luxury boxes at games. Fans are filling pints from beer towers at dozens of hotel bars, lounges and nightclubs with liquor licenses. Sales of $14 Budweisers at Doha’s FIFA Fan Zone continue unabated.
“Not to say that you need alcohol to fuel your life, but it’s a good time,” said Ed Ball, an American who created an online map for imbibers in Doha to find bars. “The idea being passed around that you can’t drink in Qatar is wrong. There are places.”
In addition to the bars, there’s the liquor store where non-Muslim residents and visitors can shop after applying for a government-issued license. Located next to an Indian school in Doha’s dusty Abu Hamour neighborhood, it is run by the Qatar Distribution Co., a state-owned enterprise under the umbrella of Qatar Airways, which holds exclusive rights to distribute alcohol and pork in the country.
Passing out drunk at a soccer game is often the only way to survive the experience. Qatar is trying to kill fans.

JP’s red pilling has been far more entertaining.
Wasn’t he always red pilled?
No, he wasn’t. Consider how he changed on guns.
Well, he is Canadian.
His early videos were focussed on making fun of the California lifestyle (which involved lampooning the granola left alot). But he swallowed the red pill very, very early in the COVID lockdowns.
I don’t know if he was always a conservative underneath the giddy humor. But he moved to Texas and went all in a guns, liberty, and freedom.
You mean that red-haired guy? I thought you were talking about Jordan Peterson.
Yes. Sorry about the confusion.
I assumed it would be obvious since the context was youtube rants.

Just his hair.
In a way, I accidentally read his self-help book on addiction. (I thought it was more of a biography, and yes, in a way, it was.)
It was very good.
One of his last standup shows on Netflix was interesting — it was basically live stand-up therapy. He would show pictures and news articles of his past and then make fun of himself for what he did.

I mean… people rob liquor stores.
They do, and this isn’t just a liquor store. It’s the only liquor (and pork) store in the country.
A pork store should have mafia guys hanging out front playing pinochle.
The best pork is sold from a panel van that has a big smoker grill trailer behind it.
The owner weighs at least 350 lbs.

Walker’s candidacy is a fundamental assault by the Republican Party on the dignity of Black Americans. How dare they so cynically use this buffoon as a shield for their obvious failings to meet the needs and expectations of Black voters? They hold him up and say, “See, our voters don’t mind his race. We’re not a racist party. We have Black people on our side too.” Parading Walker at rallies like some kind of blue-ribbon livestock does not mean you have Black people on your side. What it means is that you are promoting a charlatan—a man morally and intellectually bereft enough, blithely egomaniacal enough, to sing and dance on the world stage against his own best interest. Is he in on the joke? Does he know they picked him to save money on boot black and burnt cork, this man who made his name by bringing the master glory on the master’s field, who got comfortable eating from the master’s table?
——-
From where I sit, the election looks like a kind of grotesque minstrelsy. The Republican Party is saying that it wants power more than decency. It’s saying that race is a joke. We must all take note—it is willing to destroy a man to advance its cause. The party thinks he won’t break. And if he does, well, he wasn’t really one of them, anyway, was he?
Utterly enraging; what a contemptible condescending cunt. I guess they taught her real good at Harvard.

I’d love to see an NFL or NBA player ask her, to her face, if he is justing the master glory on the master’s field, so he can eat from the master’s table.
Pretty fucking condescending of black people, assuming they need Dems to take care of them.
Yeah, let’s see you say that to LeBron’s face.
So when the Dems parade LGBQT+ people at rallies, is that also degrading?
Look at that the livestock!
The degradation is part of the kink.
Penaltax 2.0.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) changed his plan for a windfall tax on oil company profits to describe the tax as a “penalty” to avoid a requirement that new taxes be passed by a two-thirds vote in the state legislature.
As Breitbart News reported Monday, Newsom has called the legislature into a special session to consider a new law that would create a “price gouging penalty” on oil companies, blaming them for high prices at the pump.
(The legislature is not considering a revision to the state’s high gas taxes, nor to regulations that make oil more expensive and difficult to refine in California than in other states, which are major contributors to high prices.)
Ironically the penaltax will be a cost factored into business that will be transferred to customers…
As long as it’s only passed to CA customers.
Only an idiot would think this will reduce prices, which means California will do it.
Only an idiot would assume that the genuine aim is to reduce prices. Once you begin to understand the complete lack of overlap between stated and real intentions, you can actually begin to understand how politics works.
Yeah, I suspect they don’t care if gas prices go up since they are trying to push everyone into electric cars and trains.
Which, as everyone knows, run on carbon free unicorn farts. When are they planning on getting all-electric personal luxury jets to take themselves to the meetings where they decide that the people they “represent” need to freeze and starve to death for their enlightened beliefs?
They should just put smaller windmills on cars. When those cars get up to speed, think how much wind power they’ll generate!
And given the upper wind limit for the windmill will probably be about 40mph, you’ve also solved the traffic fatality issue.
The carbon got left in China, where it might as well not exist.
Progress!
The law will specifically say they can’t pass the cost to customers or there will be more penalties … yeah that will work.

NH Dems no longer silent about trainwreck
Leaders of the New Hampshire Democratic Party are calling on one of their own new representatives to resign.
Rep.-elect Stacie Laughton was not at Wednesday’s swearing-in for the new legislature because she is in jail on a charge of stalking.

Special Forces in Germany have arrested 25 people suspected of supporting a domestic terrorism organization that planned to overthrow the government and form its own state, the federal prosecutor said on Wednesday.
In early-morning raids carried out across the country, Special Forces officers detained people believed to be members and supporters of the group, which prosecutors said had been formed in the past year and was operating on the conviction that “Germany is currently ruled by members of a so-called deep state” that needed to be overthrown. Prosecutors said two other people had been arrested outside Germany, one in Austria and another in Italy.
I swear I have seen this movie before.
The prosecutors described the group, which they did not identify, as being influenced by the ideologies of the conspiracy group QAnon and a right-wing German conspiracy group called the Reichsbürger, or Citizens of the Reich, which believes that Germany’s post-World War II republic is not a sovereign country but a corporation set up by the Allies who won the war.
Many of those arrested had military training and included former German soldiers, including from the army of the former East Germany, and were known to have been heavily armed with weapons acquired illegally. The group was most likely formed in late 2021, the prosecutors said.
But are they wrong?
“which believes that Germany’s post-World War II republic is not a sovereign country but a corporation set up by the Allies who won the war”
Isn’t that what the Baader-Meinhof Gang and others like them thought too?
Seems to be going around.
I first heard the phrase in the 90s in relation to Turkey. It referred to the idea that if the government got too Islamic the army would overthrow him. It was kind of considered a necessary evil. It’s also why Erdogan replaced the generals.
And then drugs fell out of their asses, because they, being German, are into Scheißeporn.
Ted, being German, is into the eszett,
It *is* real German, as opposed to Swiss orthography.
Why do I get the feeling that the evidence will never be shown to the public and the trial, if they actually hold one, will be heavily scripted?
It takes 25 Germans to overthrow the country? We nearly did it with one guy in a buffalo hat.
The only important thing these days is rhythm and melody.

Three of New Zealand’s nine naval ships are sitting idle in port as higher civilian salaries lure personnel out of the military – even as tensions in the Pacific rise between China and the United States and its allies.
The HMNZS Wellington, an offshore patrol vessel, headed back to New Zealand early from what was meant to be a three-month deployment in the Pacific and was taken out of operation in November because of shortages, the New Zealand Defence Force said.
They basically have no navy.
That is a Coast Guard.
They’ve already declared a nuclear free zone. Now then can declare a navy free zone.
Hell, with the govt they have I’d expect impressment gangs to be roaming Auckland.
The gangs are all ram-raiding convenience stores.
Damn! It is surreal listening to the stories about ram raids and how the media and/or the cops think things should be dealt with. The disconnect is as wide as possible.
There was a convenience store owner killed a couple of weeks ago. The media reported that some owners were thinking of arming themselves and asked one of the top cops what he thought about this. He said, no kidding, that people shouldn’t take matters into their own hands because a tragedy would result.
This is the same police force that were extremely efficient about tracking covid mavericks.

I’m a little desperate for a Christmas gift for my dad. I want to get him ~3 books on Kindle for his upcoming 2.5 month cruise around Cape Horn.
Recommendations, please?
Prerequisites:
1) Kindle version
2) Fiction should be along the lines of Master & Commander-type. Maybe something about Antarctica?
3) Non fiction on history (maybe something on Antarctica?); advanced science/math topics (not like NDT or Michio Kaku); or libertarian/conservative thought. He loves Thomas Sowell, for example. I have given him a shitton of libertarian reading in the past (Mary Ruwart, Gad Saad, Sowell, etc.), so dig deep.
Thanks in advance!

I haven’t read it, but the series “the Terror” was based on the Dan Simmons novel about the Franklin expedition to the Arctic. So if your dad hasn’t already read it…?
For history, I’ve enjoyed John Keegan’s books on military history. With the exception of the one on the Iraq War, where he spends way too much time on the internal politics of Iraq pre-invasion. He has that wonderful British gift for prose.
I have his two world wars books.
His account of WWI is far too deferential to the Imperial General Staff. It’s as though he wanted to rebuff the German description of the British Army – lions led by donkeys.
I did really like The Face of Battle.
Try “Human Smoke”.
I don’t know, if the author is an avowed pacifist, I’m not sure his perspective isn’t fatally skewed on that topic.
It starts with the Treaty of Versailles, and ends in 1942. The bibliography is thick.
If someone who is thoroughly pro USA on WWII and wrote a book, that should raise the same amount of skepticism.
I also have Martin Gilbert’s histories of the wars, Matthew Cooper’s history of the German Army, Cornelius Ryan’s trilogy, the memoirs of Pershing and Bradley, others

Loudoun fires superintendent after grand jury blasts schools’ handling of sex assaults
As expected it seems to have only taken 2 years or so. Plus I’m sure he’ll get a boatload of cash too.
“Woke Loudoun County superintendent is FIRED after grand jury found school lied to parents about kilt-wearing boy, 15, raping girl in girls’ bathroom and ‘looked out for their own interests’: Her furious father says ‘they just lie, lie, lie'”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11512735/Father-girl-raped-trans-friendly-toilet-slams-grand-jury-not-finding-school-responsible.html
Who knows what happened? There are so many conflicting accounts.
Hold on there, hoss. I thought the perp identified as a girl, and was wearing a skirt. Which is why he was in the girl’s bathroom. Well, I mean, other than for the raping.
Who knows? I read that the couple were using school bathrooms to hook up. I also read the school didn’t have a transgender bathroom policy at the time the alleged event occurred.
That article says a teacher saw two pairs of legs in the bathroom stall and said nothing, the mother of the accused (granted, not reliable) said it was consensual, and the charge was “forcible sodomy “.
So I’m guessing they were having an ongoing sexual relationship, then he put it in her butt.
I agree with the dad. Even worse, they are empowered liars. That makes them almost impossible to get rid of, except after a long drawn out trial.
‘Member that stuff that Alex Jones has been talking about foe the past several years?
Oxfordshire County Council yesterday approved plans to lock residents into one of six zones to ‘save the planet’ from global warming. The latest stage in the ’15 minute city’ agenda is to place electronic gates on key roads in and out of the city, confining residents to their own neighbourhoods.
Under the new scheme if residents want to leave their zone they will need permission from the Council who gets to decide who is worthy of freedom and who isn’t. Under the new scheme residents will be allowed to leave their zone a maximum of 100 days per year, but in order to even gain this every resident will have to register their car details with the council who will then track their movements via smart cameras round the city.

The 2nd one, R.J.
The order of battle at the Casa Dean is:
(1) The pit bulls go in first, to disrupt enemy lines.
(2) Shotgun, until available ammo runs out (13 rounds – 7 loaded, 6 on the sidesaddle).
(3) Handgun, until availabe ammo runs out (28 rounds, 2 mags of sweet, sweet .45).
(4) Katana and wakizashi, until targets run out.
The rifles are in the safe. Not my preference for (very) CQB, anyway.
Katana is probably too long, you risk hiting the wall instead of one of the last 100 not yet fallen.
Good, err, point. Stick with the classics for indoor work.
Planning on taking on the Crazy 88s?
If they show up, yes, I have a plan.
I think all the motorcycle noise will give you plenty of advance warning.

Exactly.
Between the gun, knives, pepper spray, and BJJ, I think I’m covered, thanks.
Hey! Don’t you badmouth the Anla’Shok!
Here is a reminder and link for the Glibs Humpday Zoom which will kick off at 20:00 Eastern tonight. This zoom runs itself and admits people automatically; some people have reported that they had to login to their Zoom accounts to get the link to work.
Tonio, what is a good email to reach you at? I have a column idea…
My name at this domain.
Just buy a snubbie, FFS.
Indiana Jones, FTW!
Who could’ve guessed when a hair sniffing pedo ran for president and got 80 million votes, that we were going to see this explosion in public pedophilia.
AT THAT TIME it seemed like a good idea.
And, really, what difference, at this point, does it make?
For those following along with Friday evening posts, I made a thing.
I like it! Very nice.
Brilliant.
Oh hey, look at that!
Hey, Boss!
Oh, yeah!
Heh
Marina is cute… better looking than Dot in my mind.
That’s after she gets all gussied up and has a reason to smile more.
Marina’s pic kinda makes me tingly in my no-no place.
😂
So in the Dunham family tree – who is/are the character(s) of the Civil War era you were stuck in NY with?
They are nowhere yet because I haven’t gone very far with it. His name is Henry but I don’t even have the heroine’s name yet. I have the Wilder family, the situation that brings Hank to NY, and that’s it.
You turn your back on Florida woman for one second…
Goddamn, that’s an awful way to go.
Holy moly! That is horrible.
I picked up an eleven year old whose dad had let him pour some gas on the charcoal. Burned the skin off the front of him from the thighs up. Don’t use gasoline on fires.
Never ever! I use kindling or tinder. A couple of paper towels crumpled up will relight a fire without incident. Or a block of sawdust and wax, if you have it.
Yeah, I think one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen is that one of my cousins just had put some gas in his truck and sat the gas can down and walked back over to where I was standing near the front porch. And I said ‘hey man, that gas can is leaking’. There was a trail of gas down the drive way right to it, probably about 50ft away.
The idiot was smoking a cigarette and throws it down right on that line of gas, I guess just to be an idiot, which he was. It lit and ran straight to the gas can, which then caught on fire and exploded seconds later, just a few ft from the dummies truck. When the gas can exploded, not making this up, it blew the gas can like 50 ft. straight up in the air at an angle to the left and landed on top of the garage and set the garage on fire. No shit, the fucking garage was on fire, so we’re now scrambling to put it out. It left a big ole burnt spot in the shingles right where you could see it (my grandparent’s garage). I said dude, your grandpa is going to fucking kill you and you’re lucky you didn’t blow your fucking truck up. He was like ‘hey man, we have to make up something, we can’t tell him, he’ll kill me!’. That was the dumbest boy I ever was around.
I agree with that assessment. Thank God he wasn’t holding lithium batteries!
It was 30 years ago, they probably didn’t exist. If they did, he was so dumb we’d have to worry he’d eat them.
That’ll be the new death trap. Kids doing meth and setting themselves on fire in Teslas. Only they won’t live to be scared of what grandpa might think.
Ugh. Really sad.
That pic reminds me of a line I read:
When he met other dogs, he sniffed them with remarkable zeal, according to all canine rules.
A variation on this cartoon is on my favorite t-shirt.

This ain’t the whole story.
I didn’t bother reading far enough to see where the FBI fit in.
Welcome to my regulatory world Doc.

You don’t say?
I had just enough time to run outside and slow grill some chicken drumsticks. Delicious!
My mom sent me a big box of chipotle pecans. I will have some for dessert on the Zoom.
