Not a chance
The Ravens hit Lamar Jackson with the franchise tag. Who knows what will happen now. And the big action is in the conference tournaments, which are under way in earnest. That will be a wild few days. And that’s it for sports.
This decision was inevitable. It also opens a Pandora’s box of states rights fights and sanctuary state lawsuits that should settle a bunch of shit once and for all if they get to the Supreme Court.
YES!!!
Wait, the story basically reads like they managed to solve the problem themselves. I only see one of these cases where a complication developed. And when it did, she received the care she needed locally.
This has no merit. I like the spirit of the lawsuit, but it has no chance. You can’t claim prospective profits down the road as damages. That said, somebody needs to end the Biden vote-buying scheme. And the taxpayers need to stop being on the hook for the bond payments that were issued to underwrite the loans in the first place. But still, I can’t see this lawsuit suceeding.
Wow, she makes TikTok sound awesome. All I’ve ever seen when I went on there is a bunch of retards screeching about conservatives and libertarians being evil. I’m gonna change how I present myself and give it another go. Maybe it’ll be as fun as she described.
Alleged rapist
Does she get to keep her award? OK, jokes aside, this woman is a predator. I hops she goes away for a good, long while. The only thing I disagree with is the school protecting her while she was being arrested. They should have held an assembly and surprised her with it. That would have taught those kids a valuable lesson.
Well, this is a new one. I’ve never heard of it, but it sounds terrible. So I guess it won’t be long before the left says Biden has it (as well as a stutter), which causes him to fall all the freaking time.
Oh no! Not a “bleak portrait,” lol. I’m sure he’s going to struggle to get any competent people now at his several companies.Right?
Uh, yeah. That’s their fucking job. If they aren’t up to the task of representing their constituents during the democratic process of legislating, they can always quit. Or is this writer arguing that we should no longer have a legislature?
What a fun song. I love music about a specific fictional character. And here’s an absolute gem. Enjoy them both.
And enjoy this lovely Wednesday, dear friends.
This decision was inevitable. It also opens a Pandora’s box of states rights fights and sanctuary state lawsuits that should settle a bunch of shit once and for all if they get to the Supreme Court. – or national divorce. seem easier
The WEF needs American disarmed or it will be a major risk for their global reset efforts…
I don’t really know if armed Americans mean a whole lot the way things are going. But they really do seem to want to get rid of private guns and that’s good enough for me to think we should hold onto them like the happy little clingers we are.
Because they did so much to stop the COVID shut downs.
So, a law that prohibits violation of the constitution is unconstitutional?
Only a federal judge could come up with that.
Nah — I expected it. See, the key is you need a federal judge to tell you which laws are unconstitutional. You have to assume they’re valid until these schmucks say otherwise. This is job security — can’t have the uppity states deciding constitutionality for themselves.
(Imagine if the whole military “you shouldn’t obey an unlawful order” worked like that… “Even if you clearly and firmly believe an order is immoral and unlawful, you must obey it until a General Staff committee studies it — 4 years down the road!”)
I believe the matter is called nullification of federal law. We once had quite some unpleasantness about that.
Use the Supremacy Clause to incorporate the 2A with respect to the states.
Can the governor just declare no enforcement as prosecutorial discretion? If it works for ignoring immigration law …
He can, but I think the judge is saying that the governor can’t force local PDs to not assist. Which will have the effect of negating sanctuary state laws.
Just use the old funding strings ploy. No local jurisdiction receiving state funds. It works for the feds.
Which will have the effect of negating sanctuary state laws.
“No, that’s different.” /Federal judges reflecting on the FYTW clause
Or maybe it’s intentional as a way to get an Appeals Court to to overturn the ruling and protect sanctuary laws?
Except the 2nd amendment clearly states “the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed”, while there is no such constitutional basis for sanctuary laws.
“Which will have the effect of negating sanctuary state laws.”
Should, but we’ll probably get a very narrow ruling only dealing with state/local LEO participation in federal efforts. Someone else will have to go through the onerous process of getting standing to sue over those sanctuary city laws.
whaddup doh’
“that should settle a bunch of shit once and for all”
Never happen.
Yeah, I expect a decision so narrowly tailored as to be useless elsewhere, as in the Colorado baker decision.
This decision does not set a precedence. It only applies to this case.
Wait, the story basically reads like they managed to solve the problem themselves. I only see one of these cases where a complication developed. And when it did, she received the care she needed locally. – to be fair I do not like ambiguous terms in laws
They can clean the terms up, yes. But identifying every single specific complication and how it could be “life-threatening” also invites ambiguity. I think they need to identify general conditions. Hell, one of the women aborted a baby because it would have developmental complications once born. And that’s basically eugenics.
You mean… SCIENCE!
March of Dimes says what. Also, won’t somebody think of the (social) life the mother?
There’s a very murky moral area in here too.
“Developmental problems” can mean any number of things, but there are definitely a very small handful of “developmental problems” where I think abortion is the moral action.
Tay Sachs, for instance.
*peers down slippery slope*
Hey, is that “XY Chromosome Syndrome” I see down there?
Definitely a slippery slope.
But this particular case I still think abortion is more moral than a painful, debilitating death before the age of 5.
Pie… is there any chance you could learn to use blockquote or something? Deriving what’s the quote and what’s your reply in your comments gets really tiresome some mornings. I know, I know… “Hey buddy…..”

Second thought — “Oh crap… he’s priming the pump for later today… how bad is that going to be if this is the light appertif?”
I thought Sloopy was posting a selfie.
OK groomer
People forget this promise that was made back when. The ones with nefarious agendas really meant it.
I’m failing to see the connection being pushed in the quoted line.
“a wave of bills targeting their community”
Bull. Shit.
If “your community” is going to push for radical sexual content aimed at small children, “your community” is going to face backlash. Period.
And the backlash will be stupid and reactionary because socons are stupid and reactionary.
Oklahoma tried to ban anyone under 26 from transitioning.
OK legislature is a case study in why a full-time legislature is a terrible idea. I’ve never met* a population so unlike their elected representatives.
*I have only met a tiny sliver of all extant polities.
What really kills me is the amount of hate gay people that have opposed the radicalization have been subjected to by their own and the left. If you needed any proof the left is evil and about power only, seeing how they treated people that had reservations or objections amongst their own should remind you of how religions treat their heretics.
Heretics are worse than heathens.
/”Uncle Tom’s” nod sagely.
Yeah, this sort of struck me, as well. Maybe it’s me, but I really can’t imagine any of the gay or lesbian people I’ve known over the years being particularly bothered by saying you can’t groom kids. I mean, I think they’d probably be more bothered by a claim that laws against grooming are targeted at them.
They’re normies now with all the derision that comes with that.
The victim stack is relentless.
You should meet my neighbors. Lovely people, but anything that could possibly infringe on QUILTBAG rights is one step away from nullifying their marriage and mandatory conversion therapy.
I guess what we need is common sense QUILTBAG control.
Fine then, we’ll take that step. Maybe after conversion therapy they’ll be happy.
No need to convert them, just shut down the unrelenting preaching. Lovely if we can do that peacefully, but if those mouths just won’t shut up by themselves…
Great music choices, Sloop
that should settle a bunch of shit
federal supremacy is settled shit….what am I missing? ** looks over at CSA tombstones in family plot **
guns are a federal matter; the FF made it so, and no amendments since interfere to my eye
I’m all for federalism, but this is well within settled law and will not be the vanguard of autonomy lawsuits
I hope those lawsuits come; I hope they win; but this is not the crack in the dike
So if a federal law, or administrative act when it comes to the ATF rules, runs afoul of the constitution, the states and the people cannot tell them to go fuck themselves under the 10th Amendment?
the states and the people cannot tell them to go fuck themselves under the 10th Amendment?
They can and should. I look at it more from a philosophical level and my ability to read than from some bs judges may have concocted over the years. The entire point of divided government in a republic is to pit the feds/states/localities against each other.
No it isn’t. It’s saying states are not in control of their subdivisions and those sub entities can act independently and without authorization. Local police couldn’t enforce 55 mph speed limits or 21 year old drinking laws without corresponding state laws. This ruling flies in the face of that.
guns are a federal matter
Where in the Constitution? As far as I can see the only mention is saying that the can’t be laws violating the right to keep and bear arms.
And it says “shall not be infringed.” Period. Not “shall not be infringed” by congress, or by the federal government, just “shall not be infringed” by anyone.
“Does she get to keep her award? OK, jokes aside, this woman is a predator. I hops she goes away for a good, long while. The only thing I disagree with is the school protecting her while she was being arrested. They should have held an assembly and surprised her with it. That would have taught those kids a valuable lesson.”
I had an Asian friend that told me once he used to get sexual rewards when he got real good grades…
Maybe this teacher was just rewarding the high performers?
Dang it, my screed is on the DeadThread. Repeating here.
THIS RIGHT HERE!!!
I have been saying for a few years now that the term migrant has been completely misappropriated (HAH!).
In my distant yoot, Migrant referred to workers who’d come up from Mexico (legally or illegally) during the planting season, go home, come back at harvest, and go home. Migratory according to the labor demand, and nearly always working, not grifting or draining any welfare system. There was a certain respect accorded to them for their willingness to work hard for themselves and their families, and yeah, it was work that certain “Americans” wouldn’t do. Migratory animals move around according to seasonal needs too. Very accurate term.
Now we are supposed to think that anybody entering America illegally to disappear or collect checks or whatever is a “Migrant”. The United Kingdom is overwhelmed by “Migrants” from North Africa, Albania, Middle East. But they don’t come to work, and they don’t come to assimilate and become British or American. They aren’t blind and can see that they can whinge their way into getting perpetual handouts from the White Man and the former Colonialists. Nevermind the rape gangs; it’s a cultural difference, you see.
Migratory animals go back home cyclically. These guys have no such intent.
Apparently it’s true: African swallows are non-migratory.
I would be willing to bet that there have been NGOs down in Central America talking up “come to the U.S., you won’t have to work, we’ll take care of you”.
We can’t fix illegal immigration without fixing legal immigration and without gutting the NGOs that undercut our policies.
They don’t want legal immigration fixed, because that would lead to people that come in competing with the idiot kids of the nomenklatura. I sponsored someone once. The INS is a fucking disaster.
it’s an invasion by another name.
Happy International Women’s Day!
Er something.
Here is an imaginary flower for you
*sniff*
Lovely. Thanks for the thought 🌺🌹
Women deserve more than one day… Even if it is international..
Yeah, it should be a few days. Every month too.
Again, reposting lazily from the embers of last night’s morning overlap post:
Happy International Women’s Day! ✳️*️⃣*
…..
✳️ International Women’s Day is not exclusive to persons born with 2 XX chromosomes, Klinefelter’s Syndrome, or Turner Syndrome. Don’t be a bigot.
*️⃣ The best way to celebrate International Women’s Day is to focus on Transwomen, particularly if they still sport their original XY tackle. Don’t be a bigot
* Unclear if one must have been born at the border between UN-recognized nations to be an International Woman. Don’t be a bigot.
Vuja De all over again.
Suck that penis shaped vagina or you are a bigot I am a transwoman and a lesbian who does not have sex with me is a bigot. Am I doing it right?
Yup — in the spirit of “HerSHE’s” and all, I was going to joke that the accepted way to celebrate it would be to laud a pre-op transexual apparently, but you beat me to it.
It’s also Lucy’s birthday. So I’m breaking the “don’t talk about” rule on this special occasion.
Is this where we insert the pegging jokes?
It was observed what was done there by you.
Simon Pegg wearing a dress should be the symbol of this wonderful day
What about international men’s day? There couldn’t be international anything if men didn’t build nations.
“Men don’t need a day – they get the other 364.25 anyway!” (likely response from most these days)
“Men don’t need a specific day — we know what we contribute and don’t need external validation.” (Past 30000 years of human history). I know, I know… that’s so “white supremacy” of me or something.
“I don’t need external validation”
Damn, that’s good. Stealing that.
Consider “Men don’t need a specific day — we know what we contribute and don’t need external validation.” taxed.
EU nations are taking today as a national holiday (D,F,I at least). But they aren’t making men work either so what good is the day for women?*
*Factory standard models only.
Oh is that what it is. All my eastern European team is off today.
Or as Chris Rock says: “Original Recipe.”
Just identify as a woman and steal their day like men steal their sports and private spaces.
I for one am thankful for all the ladies in the world that ever were and ever are and ever will be. Wouldn’t be here otherwise.

Personally I still find the phrase transgender children a bit cringe.
transgendered children?
well the article uses the phrase as I wrote it
“They’re transgender because they’ve always been transgender in their minds. Transgendered implies that they’ve had something done to alter them. It diminishes their identity by making it seem as if they weren’t always who they are until they were changed by someone else.”
I’d bet dollars to donuts that’s the argument you’ll get if you say the latter term applies and not the former.
They knew they were transgender before they knew about gender.
Hmmm never thought about that semantic difference
I have a problem with Romani vs. Romanian.
And sometimes Romulan.
But you’re good on Romans?

Personally I still find the phrase transgender children a bit cringe.
Any sane person would.
Because it’s nonsense. It is a label that radicals have convinced a lot of parents to apply to their children when they see them acting a little gay.
The rapid pivot to “nobody is gay, they’re all really transgender” is just crazy.
Not even gay. As far as I can tell, most tomboys don’t become lesbians.
The US Justice Department argued in a lawsuit it brought against Missouri last year that the “Second Amendment Preservation Act,” which blocks state and local law officials from enforcing federal gun laws, “impairs law enforcement efforts in Missouri” and interferes with the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, which states that federal laws take precedence over state laws.
In a 24-page decision, US District Judge Brian Wimes agreed with the DOJ’s arguments, ruling that SAPA is “invalidated as unconstitutional in its entirety.”
Seems like ass backwards logic to me. Nothing in the constitution compels local/state law enforcement to enforce federal laws. Federal constitutional supremacy is limited to things actually in the constitution, which, interestingly, includes 2A…
the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, which states that federal laws take precedence over state laws
The constitution takes precedence over federal laws.
It’s also well established that there are limits on what the feds can compel the states to do. The Supremacy Clause applies to laws, and means that state laws that conflict with federal laws are null and void to the extent of the conflict. It does not say that the states have to enforce federal laws. Which is why the feds have to use workarounds, like funding, when they want the states to do something.
Generally speaking, states are not allowed to actively interfere with federal agents enforcing federal laws, but are allowed to passively sit by and decline to assist. I don’t know exactly where these 2A sanctuary laws fall on that spectrum, but I suspect mostly if not entirely on the “passively sit by” end.
That’s what is happening where marijuana is legal.
Not to mention immigration sanctuary cities. Although some people there have crossed the line from passive non-cooperation to aiding and abetting illegals in avoiding La Migra.

Given the current levels of narcissism in society, I can’t be certain it is a joke.
It would explain the lack of fathers in certain communities.
Ask men getting screwed in child support payments about that.
Eh, it’s voluntary servitude
Not necessarily. You don’t have to actually be the father to have the legal responsibilities foist upon you
“It is now dangerous to be pregnant in Texas,” Nancy Northup, president and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights, said during a press conference outside the Texas Capitol. “Doctors and hospitals are turning patients away, even those in medical emergencies. Patients are being denied life-saving obstetrical care.”
Texas does not allow abortions after six weeks of pregnancy except for “medical emergencies,” which is not defined. The suit asks that physicians be allowed to determine what qualifies under the exception.
Sounds like a problem with the doctors.
I am baffled as to why doctors aren’t now allowed to determine when a medical emergency occurs. If its not them, then who? I am also less than clear how a court decision saying, yes, it is up to the doctors is going to make the slightest difference.
The last thing the doctors and pro-abortionists should want is a legislative list of what counts.

The Most Interesting Think Tank In American Politics
https://time.com/6258610/niskanen-center-bipartisanship-think-tank-politics/
was this covered? If not guess what that think tank is
shit the name is in the link. Goddamnit
🙂
Niskanen?
I guess you could call blatant utilitarianism interesting.
You scared?
They’re Freaking Out Big Time
Senator Schumer Went Down To The Senate Floor This Morning To
-Condemn Tucker Carlson’s January 6th Tapes Segment Last Night
-Call For Fox News And Rupert Murdoch To Stop Tucker Carlson From Releasing Another Report On The January 6th Tapes Tonight
-Repeat The Lie About The Death Of Officer Brian Sicknick
Forcefully calling for censorship because you don’t like the information being presented because it completely destroys your dishonest narrative is a good, fascistic look, Schmoobs.
Schumer: You are unravelling months of hard work to fool idiots into believing our political talking points so we could manipulate them and making us look bad in the process!
Schumer should relax. As Mark Twain said: “It’s easier o fool people than to convince people they were fooled”. The true believers will go to their grave believing and no evidence or facts will even shake their fervor.
I bet you were happy when Putin colluded with Trump via a server in Tower to steal the 2016 election too, ya damn traitor.
The only way to protect democracy is to censor factual information that contradicts the state’s carefully crafted narrative.
If we can discuss it, no matter how crazy the things that are said are, then we are doing science and very likely living in a democracy.
If we need to censor it, especially to prevent misinformation, we are dealing with propaganda and brainwashing.
If I were Tucker this would only serve to motivate me more.
If I were Tucker, I’d invite Chuckie to be a guest (and practice my famous “puzzled” face for when I announce that he’d declined the invitation.)
They have invited Schumer.. Repeatedly.
In the latest attempt Schumer cleverly responded to the invitation by making some comment that he would not go unless Tucker and others like him were fired first, or some shit.
Stick to your dishonest narrative until the end, you cunte.
I was invited on Tucker Carlson’s show.
I will agree to go on after Tucker Carlson admits to his viewers live on air that he has been lying to them about the 2020 elections and about what happened on January 6th.
Why Do Therapists Not Understand Male Depression?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yyWlp6sTv0
tl;dw men are not like women but therapists mostly treat them as such. For women it helps just to talk about feelings. Men want solutions to problems.
Then why would they bother seeing soft science quacks like therapists in the first place?
probably they do not in the numbers the industry wants, hence the whole stoicism is toxic masculinity ion psychology guidelines in the US
Because we’ve been told that it helps.
Too much soy milk and neutering?
“men are not like women”
BIGOT!
Men want solutions to problems.
They need a trainer and not a therapist.
according to the video they need a good purpose in life to have a reason to push through the pain.
That’s what I said.
The only reason therapists serve that function now is that we have killed off the other institutions that used to help with that.
How many members of fraternal social organizations (Elks, Masons, Rotary, etc.) here? [hand stays down]
My son is doing an Upward soccer league for the spring (church sponsored sports). The community feeling you get there is…well, nice and obvious why it exists.
I would join a church if mass attendance wasn’t expected once a week.
Join a non-denominational church. The pastor may notice if you are not there (if you attend regularly), but won’t say anything unless they really think something is wrong.
Same works for plenty of denominations, but especially so for the non-denominational ones.
I grew up Catholic, so there is also that guilt hanging over my head. Maybe I need therapy.
Or join a mega-church and no one will know if you are there or not. But then you lose out on the community.
Unless you join a small group of some sort, but then you are back to meeting regularly. In SC, we were going to a mega-church, but had a small group of 5 couples who met once every 2 weeks, and we continued to meet in person all thru COVID.
Currently, our church is much smaller, but we are still in a small group, but we only meet once per month.
I figured so, due to the use of the word “mass”.
Lots of non-denominational churches have some small catholic elements. Its an ecumenical appeal thing. My church has candles you can light, for example. And communion every* service! Its self-serve though. And grape juice.
*growing up baptist, communion was about a monthly thing.
It’s pretty hard to separate “community” from “regular interaction”, you know.
I run an adult baseball league. Can concur that there is definitely a fraternal aspect to it beyond just playing ball. Once you get to a certain age, it’s as much about the guys in the dugout as the game being played.
It’s about my only therapy besides sitting alone and listening to music late at night.
Men absolutely need a purpose. I’ve seen the effects first hand for those who don’t. Still living it in many ways.
Growing up, I was never around other disabled people. I started sled hockey when I was 42. Being in a community of other disabled people, who are living life, achieving great things, and not constantly bitching, has done wonders for me. I even learn things about my own disability. This is far superior to any one on one therapy.
This book was written 23 years ago.
A few years ago a bunch of dads started volunteering more at their kids high schools and behavioral issues dropped. I’m not entirely sure how it would work, but letting dads workout at high schools before or after school would be an interesting experiment.

https://nypost.com/2023/03/07/wild-video-captures-rowdy-nyc-wolfpack-trashing-chinese-restaurant/
This is out of hand. The owner should be allowed to keep an AK and shoot anyone who starts that shit.
nono that is for Koreans not Chinese, that would be cultural appropriation on the part of the Chinese, and also confusing the two is racist of you
Or a nice semi-auto 12 gauge shotgun loaded with #4 buckshot.
The guy defending his property would go to jail for brandishing the weapon, and likely have the state of NY consider bringing back the death penalty if he were to use it on that mob to make an example of him and dissuade other vigilantism.
Looks like the white kids are getting in on the act now.
That’s cultural appropriation right there.
Mark Wahlberg’s kids are following in his footsteps?
I like the approach from Bronx Tale when he locks the door.
“Now youse cant leave.”
Wow. Absolutely pointless. I can at least understand looters stealing stuff. “Hey! Free stuff!” Destruction for the sake of destruction, without some sort of previous grudge?
it’s a new incarnation of the knockout game.
The thing that would stop this behavior real quick (i.e. opening fire at the outset) is the thing you won’t be allowed to do.
The only way out is to shoot one of them. That will give all of the others great pause.
Of course, to defend your livelihood and property in such a manner guarantees you will face the full force of the State against you.

26 is the new 18.
Based on the sub 26 y/o’s I work with, thats a pretty true statement. I expect childhood will be extended to 30 by the time I’m geriatric. That or we’ll all be calling the President “Father” a la People’s Temple.
Also under 25 should not vote right?
Raise that to about 100.
Finally, a voice in support of the all-important gang vote.
Minnesoda is trying to do its part, but it isn’t close to these guys.
We’re trying to get rid of the felony murder law here. Not because it is unjust, but because more POC are being prosecuted by it.
I suspect the same for Maryland but they’re not going to say it.
And now we know which pols are taking campaign contributions from street gangs.
Grandstanding, has zero chance of passing…
Yep, right up there with the moron in Florida with licensing blogs.
I will give Desantis or his team credit for that one since all the headlines tried to attribute the bill to his name.
I’d guess you can make enough money in murder for hire to retire at 25.
So 24 is too young to understand that murder is wrong, but 25 is peachy. Got it. Now apply that logic to rape.
Not just rape, but all consent.
Wow. That’d help Baltimore’s crime problem.
Ask those same lawmakers about Kyle Rittenhouse.
That would be a burn…
What the fuck are they doing? Seriously.
Smashing the system.

The myth of London’s empty homes
Britain’s problem is that it doesn’t have enough vacant properties
https://edwest.substack.com/p/the-myth-of-londons-empty-homes
“The idea that housing costs are being pushed up by empty homes is an attractive one, and intuitive. It’s also good politics, because absent landlords tend to come from abroad, and wealthy foreigners are an out-group it’s acceptable to dislike.
Certainly, many politicians believe it. Last year Canada’s Justin Trudeau banned foreign investors from buying property, apparently a cause of the housing crisis.
The empty home hoarder explanation is popular among the public. I’ve heard this theory from several people, who explain that wealthy Chinese investors are buying up all the property in their part of London and deliberately keeping them empty. People who tell me this always have some brilliantly convoluted explanation for why they would do this, rather than just renting the properties out and making loads of money.
Yet the land bank theory is not real. An analysis by the LSE found no evidence of homes being left deliberately empty. And as data man Tom Forth shows, England has the lowest rate of empty homes in the OECD, and Greater London has about one-tenth the level of Paris, just 0.7% of properties being empty compared to 6.5%. “

No, but the company that designed those revealing outfits is fair game.

Ken Burns on Tucker Carlson releasing the January 6th footage:
“It’s a huge threat to our republic”
I just don’t get it. The cognitive dissonance is unbelievable. So many people freaking out over just sharing some footage, which is not an anyway been altered. Honestly, if I had my way, I would release all the footage and allow people to crowd source it. Let 1000 people look at it. And bring back their comments.
Its an article of faith for them.
I would have given the footage to 4chan.
Maybe that’s the problem. It was just given to Tucker,Carlson, which has the appearance of bias. He should’ve just released the entire thing to the public, I agree.
The plan is to eventually release it to all, is my guess. But by doing it this way, the usual liars will not be able to spin or hide the information Tucker has revealed without giving themselves away…
If it had been released entirely, there would have been even more squealing about putting the safety of the Capitol at risk. Tucker in his intro said the Capitol police asked for a door not to be shone/blurred. Why is that?
It’s the old national security canard. They all trot it out when there’s something they really don’t want you to see.
Fuck ’em. If it’s really so dangerous to security, Leviathan has plenty of money to fix it after the fact.
You can get map of the entire place. It’s public. And if the door is a risk, fix it!
Entrance to Narnia?
Yup. In one afternoon an army of basement dwellers would sort out exactly what happened.
I do love how they sent Shia LeBeouf into fits of apoplexy.
which is not an anyway been altered
Showing a few seconds clipped to make Hawley look bad is fine. Showing the thirty seconds prior to show the full context is basically treason. That’s how this works.
I hadn’t even heard of the Hawley Affair before Tucker showed a clip of the “Commission” laughing at it. They really are a bunch of depraved assholes.
It’s amazing how so many are opposed to showing a more complete picture of the story.
BELIEVE WAT WE TELL YOU TO BELIEVE!
This reminds me of the CNN asshat telling the idiots that watch them they should never try to get information on their own – they are not qualified to do that for some reason – and only should believe what the powers that be at CNN tells them.
Yes, yes, people seeing uncensored factual information is a threat. What an asshole.

Good documentarian, submoron on most else.
His only work that I’ve seen was the Civil War. I’ve heard his other stuff is not so great, but i haven’t seen it myself.
His baseball one is great too, but I could be biased as my step-dad constantly watched that and the Civil War one.
I couldn’t make it throguh two episodes of the baseball one. The same ivy-league historians interviewed as every other PBS series, and so many facts were wrong I basically laughed Burns off as an incompetent hack. And I pity anyone who wants to watch hours of still photographs being slow-panned as good television.
As someone who thinks Jackie Robinson/Branch Rickey did more for race relations in America than all politicians put together, I think he focused too much on race in his baseball series.
Fairly aggressive takedown of his Holocaust series: https://www.city-journal.org/ken-burns-documentary-distorts-the-historical-record
Thanks!
Not aggressive enough for me.
For example, the article mentions Insull, who’s firm was failing – without mentioning that this was entirely due to the price ceilings that government imposed upon his products and services. Basically, the exact same thing that bankrupted every mass transit company and the same policy still supported by Democrats and the Uniparty today.
You know, every time that kind of bullshit is trotted out, there’s never any substance they can elaborate on. You see it all the time in foreign policy about what we simply must do, because it is in our national interest. The rhetoric isn’t even tissue thin.
Burns is in the same class as your average presidential historian. He’s really impressed with the ones who break shit and destroy lives.
It’s the lack of panning over the videos/stills and background music that pisses off Burns most.
Also needs narration by Morgan Freeman.
And voice actors reading letters
He missed out on a lot of interesting letters.
This is a very stark example of how we no longer have journalists, we have propagandists. An actual journalist would welcome new information because that’s going to get you closer to the truth. Instead we have “journalists” actively trying to censor information that goes against their narrative.

It’s the false choice rubric. They live by it, as does the eGOP.

Note that there are thousands of other such examples. And yet this douchebag dared to say that the fabulists at PMSNBC never tell lies knowingly…
He the guy after Russell brought up a lie kept saying “non responsible” in response as if he was giving a killer his name as to make it personal?
He said “non responsive” which I don’t even understand what the fuck that means.
I like Brand who’s a principled leftist a la Jimmy Dore. He’s quick on his feet too although his personal style can become grating after a bit.
He’s lighting fast. It was funny watching Tucker ask him a question last night, then get overwhelmed by the answer.
And he does his homework. His staff does a ton of research before he records one of his rants.
Does anyone think there is a journalist who never knowingly lied?
There is probably a few but they operate in small towns and run articles on the local high school’s FFA club.
If you’re just repeating someone else’s lie it’s ok. It only counts as lying if you invented the lie yourself.
Cruel truth
Carlson “passionately” hates Trump: In a number of private text messages, Carlson was harshly critical of Trump. In one November 2020 exchange, Carlson said Trump’s decision to snub Joe Biden’s inauguration was “so destructive.” Carlson added that Trump’s post-election behavior was “disgusting” and that he was “trying to look away.” In another text message conversation, two days before the January 6 attack, Carlson said, “We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights. I truly can’t wait.” Carlson added of Trump, “I hate him passionately.” The Fox host said of the Trump presidency, “That’s the last four years. We’re all pretending we’ve got a lot to show for it, because admitting what a disaster it’s been is too tough to digest. But come on. There isn’t really an upside to Trump.”
Depending on how you parse that, it might not be as “damning” to Carlson as CNN thinks it is.
I’m guessing “disaster” has a context entirely different than your average CNN wokester would describe.
It isn’t, they just think it is because they’re midwits.
It’s like Jon Stewart ranting about restricting drag queen story hour for the kids and comparing it to gun control to protect kids from dying. As Dave Smith put it, the appropriate rebuttal would have been (paraphrased) “Would you be okay with a circle jerk story hour? Technically, they’re not killing kids in that situation either. Would it be okay to restrict that? If not, where’s your line? Raping kids isn’t killing them either.”
Yeah, it kind of lends credibility vis a vis Carlson’s standing up for Trump and his supporters in a similar way as Romney criticizing Republicans has additional gravitas supposedly.
See? He hates those guys and even he’s saying this is all bullshit.
So Freddie, despite his obvious handicap, is still managing to think at least a little.
Or as I refer to them, the parasitic class. Human beings are social creatures, but that doesn’t mean we should be doomed to live forever with all of the intellectual and emotional maturity of a junior high school cafeteria. Or as William Munny famously said, “deserve’s got nothin’ to do with it”.
Ah, the “respectable commie.”
Any support I can offer to split them all up, well, it’s the least I can do.
Trump letting Foochy and Birx lead him around by the nose was the disaster, if you ask me.
Yes.
Trump’s a sucker who swoons over credentials and he should have known better.
Yup. Probably trusted the system too much.
Kash Patel was on with Tim Poole last night and when he was asked why Trump let that gnome keep doing the lying, he pointed out the fact that hindsight is 20-20. Had they, and especially Trump, know Fauci was the criminal mind behind the Wuhan lab’s work as well as the guy desperately trying to hide his complicity, they would have tanked his ass (even though that would have driven the left into apoplexy).
I remind people that Trump had no idea of the level of scumbaggery the deep was steeped in when he as a novice decide to trust that cesspool. By the time they started realizing the machine was utterly corrupt and that people like Fauci were an enemy, their hands were often tied.
The lesson here is to not trust anyone in the machine.
“Had they, and especially Trump, know Fauci was the criminal mind behind the Wuhan lab’s work”
It was quite well known early on that Fauci had been funding, and had started funding again, the gain-of-function work on coronaviruses at Wuhan. It’s pretty dishonest for Poole to go the “If the only the Czar knew” route.
Trump kept Fauci and Birx on, and backed their play let’s not forget, solely because he thought doing otherwise would hurt his chances at re-election.
You don’t think the machine would have impeached him again if he had done something to either of those crooks?

The thing is when modern leftists say they want socialism without the gulags, I suspect in their minds they actually really want the gulags.
The last seven years have shown that they desperately do.
Or maybe they’d rather go the Pol Pot route. It’s hard to tell sometimes.
They want the gulags to be unneeded. Wrong think will just mean you lose your job, house, income, family, friends, ability to participate in the economy at all, etc… but see, no death camps!

This is why I stress to my children “make (or fix) things.” It doesn’t have to be anything big. Make a short movie. Paint a picture, build a treehouse. Something tangible you have at the end that you did or made.
One thing about conservatives vs modern leftists though I disagree with both is more often than not with a conservative we can watch the same video see the same thing and disagree about things, but with a leftist we see different things in that video. I am more and more surprised about how they can blatantly claim that up is down.
“Texas does not allow abortions after six weeks of pregnancy except for “medical emergencies,” which is not defined. The suit asks that physicians be allowed to determine what qualifies under the exception”
Oh wow, you mean that intentionally vague laws have the effect of people policing themselves more than what should be necessary to avoid getting fucked by lawfare? Never seen this before.
The alternative to “vague” laws*, which leave something to your judgement, is micro-prescriptive laws, which are an inherently bad fit for reality and which also merely create ambiguity and vagueness at a different level. For example, compare, say, federal statutes on medical privacy (which are actually pretty short) to the HIPAA regs. I personally prefer short and general to weighty tomes of internally inconsistent bafflegab.
*Well, other than no laws.
” The suit asks that physicians be allowed to determine what qualifies under the exception”
Yeah, I seem okay with this.
“This decision was inevitable. It also opens a Pandora’s box of states rights fights and sanctuary state lawsuits that should settle a bunch of shit once and for all if they get to the Supreme Court.”
This seems exactly wrong. The federal government may be supreme in law(a state cannot make a law that violates federal law), but they also cannot commandeer state resources to enforce federal law.
‘The US Justice Department argued in a lawsuit it brought against Missouri last year that the “Second Amendment Preservation Act,” which blocks state and local law officials from enforcing federal gun laws, “impairs law enforcement efforts in Missouri” and interferes with the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, which states that federal laws take precedence over state laws.’
See above.
“The law’s “practical effects are counterintuitive to its stated purpose,” added Wimes, a nominee of former President Barack Obama. “While purporting to protect citizens, SAPA exposes citizens to greater harm by interfering with the Federal Government’s ability to enforce lawfully enacted firearms regulations designed by Congress for the purpose of protecting citizens within the limits of the Constitution.”
Only if you buy the idea that all federal gun law is both protective of citizens AND does not interfere with the second amendment. I know that is how judges would be bound to rule, àt least at the lower court levels, but those are both highly speculative from a facts-based analysis. Really interested in how this interferes with federal investigations, it’s just withholding state resources, which should be completely constitutional.
The judge is creating a new duty for states to do whatever they are told by the feds. Anything the feds demand can be put in the box of “federal requirements designed to protect citizens”.
Apply this is the various states that have legalized marijuana…a new administration can use this ruling to come in and crack skulls.
This is probably the best example. Are they saying local police will have to enforce federal laws against marijuana, even in states where it’s legal?

While it is good that notorious antisemite and white supremacist Nick Fuentes was removed from the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) conference, it was rife with bigotry.
Anti-trans hate animated many CPAC 23 speakers, making baseless claims of “grooming” and attacking gender-affirming care. Our Center on Extremism takes a deeper dive into anti-trans messaging at CPAC and its dangerous implications.
Former President Trump also delivered remarks that were in character but still dangerous. His claims about expelling warmongers, driving out globalists, casting out communists, and throwing off those who hate our country echo classic #antisemitic rhetoric.

Automation can have important social and political consequences, as well as large impacts on the labour market. This column provides experimental evidence on the causal link between perceived automation risk and workers’ employment responses, preferences, and attitudes. The authors find that fear of automation leads workers to demand higher taxation and more redistribution. Workers plan to join a union to protect their employment rather than adopt new skills or switch occupation. The findings highlight the pressure that automation may put on public budgets, and provide new insights into how technological advancements may alter the political landscape.

‘Wrinkles’ in time experience linked to heartbeat
https://news.cornell.edu/stories/2023/03/wrinkles-time-experience-linked-heartbeat
How long is the present? The answer, Cornell researchers suggest in a new study, depends on your heart.
They found that our momentary perception of time is not continuous but may stretch or shrink with each heartbeat.
The research builds evidence that the heart is one of the brain’s important timekeepers and plays a fundamental role in our sense of time passing – an idea contemplated since ancient times, said Adam K. Anderson, professor in the Department of Psychology and in the College of Human Ecology (CHE).
Many years of negligible interest rates, indeed negative real rates, have given rise to bubble-like firms, projects, and I would argue, by extension, business concepts. The latter, which include but are not limited to ESG, seem feasible and arguably essential when the money spigots are open. When interest rates normalize and sobriety re-obtains, cost structures reassert themselves. It’s back to the business of business.
We can only hope.
Meanwhile, the ESG “advocates” can see how precarious their position is, and are desperately trying to inoculate themselves from simple straightforward fiduciary math.
Color me skeptical. The optimists all seem to point to ESG as a fad. They completely ignore that most of the people pushing ESG are religious adherents and will react as victims (in the modern culture’s concept of victimhood) when attempts are made to excise ESG. Ready for the die-ins and doxxing and leaks and malicious compliance and protests and riots? They’re coming.
Activist stockholders will act against their own interests to punish companies that try to leave. This will happen. Now eventually these morons will run out of money, but it will be ugly first. The public will also lose patience with die-ins and all that. The British public is a good example of people who are tired of that shit. Lots of videos of road and business blocking morons getting man handled by random citizens.
What cannot last forever, will not last forever.
Truth. However, fads tend to evaporate quickly, in weeks or months rather than years. Movements tend to entrench themselves and still have impact decades or centuries after they die.
ESG is a movement, not a fad.
I think it’s a grift and the commitment to it at the executive level will last as long as the economy allows.

Stop, she’s more wholesome than that. Looks like she is only banging the single dads.

I’ve lost 2 USB-A to C connectors. I’m kinda drunk, so I don’t feel a prayer to St. Anthony right now would be heard. He may think I’m looking for car keys.
Help.
Look underneath your laptop. Or crushed on the floor beneath your rolling chair.
Just search where the light is best. 🍻
Was this you?!
Welp. I passed. Not well or with any grace whatsoever, but I passed.
Congrats!!!

Congrats. We all knew you would.
The money’s the same, right? Congratulations, Mojeaux!
W00t! Congrats! Nobody’s gonna care what your score was, just that you passed.
You exceeded standards as my platoon sergeant would say.
Nice!
Yay! Passing is passing. Congrats!
Knew you would! Congrats – onward and upward.
Congrats!
I didn’t have any doubt.
Congrats, Mo!
Grats Mojeaux!
That makes today an Official Frabjous Day nonetheless! 😃
Good on ya! Onwards and upwards.
Good job Mojeaux.
“Drug addict who was goaded by laughing onlookers into cutting up and EATING her pet hamster ‘Mr Nibbles’ in stomach-churning video is jailed for a year”

Poor Mr. Nibbles 🙁 RIP
Good thing she didn’t have a larger pet, like a dog. That could have taken all day.
If she had eaten a feline, it would have been a cat-ass-trophy for her.
You could say it’s a dog eat dog world.
Was the bitch set up?
I don’t think there should be legal consequences. But, it wouldn’t bother me at all if the goading onlookers were named and shamed. Yes, the decision was hers. But, encouraging people to do terrible things is awful.
Daily Star still on the hard-hitting penis beat.

This is real journalism.

Voluntary co-operation
Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz has agreed to testify in a U.S. Senate hearing about the coffee chain’s alleged union busting after pressure from Sen. Bernie Sanders.
The Senate’s Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, or HELP, Committee was scheduled to vote Wednesday morning on whether to subpoena Schultz, who previously declined a request to appear. Sanders, a democratic socialist who represents Vermont, serves as chair of the committee.
Schultz is now scheduled to appear at a March 29 hearing.
“Through the agreement reached today, our testimony will seek to foster a better understanding of our partner-first culture and priorities, including our industry leading benefit offerings and our long-standing commitment to support the shared success of all partners,” Starbucks said in a statement.
“Shall I bring my own dunce cap, or will the committee provide one?”
Mr. Schultz has been a full supporter of Team Blue, so I expect he will be treated relatively well.
Funny thing about these people is that the problem is always “other people”.
So they’ll start charging more for their mediocre coffee? Sanders has allegedly been sentient for ~80 years, and still hasn’t figured out that the fact a business exists doesn’t mean they’re diving into piles of gold, a la Scrooge McDuck.

Meme of the day.
SFW, in case you are nervous.
Heh.
Since Schultz returned to the helm of the company in April last year, Starbucks has taken a more aggressive approach in its opposition to the union push. The union has filed more than 500 charges of unfair labor practices with the NLRB, including allegations of retaliatory firings and store closures. The company also raised wages and improved benefits for non-union workers.
That’s not going to get you a good ESG score. If I didn’t think the whole business model is unsustainable, I might buy some shares.
They treat employees not covered by ongoing union contract negotiations differently, because they can. And, of course, if there are complaints, we should probably assume them to be true… CNBC “business journalist”.
“The company also raised wages and improved benefits for non-union workers.”
The horror.
Here’s the deal – union wages are set by multi-year contracts. Better – companies freeze union member’s wages when a location is organized, pending the final union contract. Here in Tucson, a couple of hospitals got unionized. While other hospitals were passing out raises and various overtime bonuses, the nurses at those hospitals were stuck. And it usually takes a couple years for the first contract to get done. So there was a stretch when the union nurses were the lowest paid in town. And it could well happen again.
Another interesting advantage to Tesla’s proprietary chargers. Less finger pointing when something goes bang.
Charging Station Goes Boom, EV Won’t Work: What Happens Next
You most certainly can have the vehicle’s safety systems trip when the fault is with the charger. Good luck proving that, however.
Steve Jobs was adamant about closed systems because he didn’t want shit third party stuff to ruin the experience. He’s right for that reason, but closed systems do have their downside.
God bless Steve Jobs and his insistence on that.
