That’s all I got for today. I’ll leave you with a song and move along with my day.
Morning, Banjos.
Mornin’
Everyone but her left-wing donors… “We find your terms — acceptable.”
Morning, Banjos — morning, all.
There was some “news” article claiming that 50% of Nikki’s caucusoid’s second choice was Biden.
Democrats told their people to go vote for her since they have no election. Some say they want to do something like that in NH too.
I don’t know about elsewhere, but in PA, you don’t get to vote in the primary if you aren’t registered with a partisan affiliation.
They told them in Iowa to switch parties to do this… They can then vote for whomever they want in the real election anyway, and then switch back when the fortification efforts are over.
That’s exactly right. It’s a standard trick for them now.
And you think the vast majority of lazy ass voters are gonna do that?
Remember, registering to vote is oppressive per those same fucking Dem mouths.
Also SOURCE for “They told them in Iowa” or put it back where you found it.
Two minute brave search found an article from the campaign saying they’re “totally not doing it”, which I completely and fully believe…
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/nikki-haley-bypasses-iowa-independents-democrats-ahead-caucuses-rcna130082
The resistance caucus: A Democrat goes through the looking glass in Iowa
A party that fetishizes stricter voting laws has done nothing to prevent Democrats from influencing their caucus
We were able to participate in the Republican caucus due to the beauty of same day registration, an old-fashioned, “small d” democratic idea that allows you to register for the party of your preference on the day of the caucus. Despite seemingly being against everything Republicans stand for, they still allow it in Iowa. So, Monday night at the caucus location, we simply changed our party affiliation from D to R, then walked right in and caucused with our now-fellow Republicans.
Not exactly They told them, but more hey, with nothing else to do and since we’re not dumping a bucket of hog manure on our own heads this time around.
In Virginia, which I think is unique in this respect, you do not register a party affiliation. Voters may participate in the nomination process of any party. Enforcement for this is easy when both parties have primaries. I don’t know how they enforced this in 2016 when the Republicans had a primary and the Democrats caucused.
Apparently it’s really easy to switch party affiliations in Iowa, so there were lots of people who change from D to R just before the election, and have probably switched back.
As Ayers thought them in that book he dedicated to his mentor – Lucifer – team blue plays to win. No tactic they can engage in, no matter how criminal or evil, would remain unused. See the whole Steele Dossier shitshow.
South Carolina is the same. In 2020 I voted for Tulsi in the D primary.
Only voters registered as undeclared can reregister at the polls for a primary in NH.
Both the state and presidential primary have a rule that voters registered in a party have a deadline before the primary day (June for the state primary, I think October for the presidential primary) to switch parties.
Having said that, undeclared voters outnumber either Democrats or Republicans, but Democrats and Republicans combined outnumber undeclared voters. Also note the relative numbers of Democrats and Republicans mentioned in the article. Over the last several years Democrat registrations in NH have been trending down and Republican registrations trending up. I think this trend pre-dates the Covid Craziness.
My observations of voting patterns, simply my observations based on election outcomes and turnout numbers as I haven’t seen exit polls or surveys, is that undeclared voters tend to break Republican at the state level but lately have been breaking Democrat at the Federal level.
To summarize since I should have proofread that post better: NH primaries are semi-open. Registered voters who do not declare a party affiliation can (and must) re-register at the polls during a primary. Registered voters who declared a party affiliation may not reregister at the polls but instead must reregister in advance of the primary if they want to take part in another party’s primary.
Mornin’
Guess the MidWest is not the only “BRRRRRRRRRRRRR!” this week. No surprises there.
At least we’ll have money to burn.
It was so cold this AM here in “The People’s Republic of Connecticut” that I saw several democrats with their hands in their own pockets for a change…
“The reality is that she is not running for the nomination, she’s running to be Trump’s VP,” DeSantis posted to X, formerly known as Twitter, on Tuesday. “I won’t snub New Hampshire voters like both Nikki Haley and Donald Trump, and plan to honor my commitments. I look forward to debating two empty podiums in the Granite State this week.”
Well, Ron debated empty suit Charlie Crist back in ’22, so he definitely has experience in that department.
Why, between this and the New York judges (both the real estate and the defamation cases) seeming to stick with “Already guilty — just need to prove how much I need to inflict as a penalty!” it almost seems like there’s a political drive to use the courts as a bludgeon against the man, throwing aside all morals, previous standards, laws, etc.
Imagine that…. I do declare, sirruh!
Sarcasm aside I’d rant about how destroying the perception of impartiality in the justice system just after destroying the perception of impartiality in the election systems and vilifying your enemies is a really good plan for pushing your enemies to Box 4 of the ole adage — because you’re leaving folks nowhere else to go. And there are a LOT of box 4’s out there. But y’all know that, have heard it before — so I’ll keep the rant down to that and the summation of: “Boy this is fucking stupid and I hope it doesn’t blow up into full on civil war. 2024 sure looks like it will suck.”
One of the usual suspects that goes back all the way to the Steel Dossier shit from when recently was on CNN or PMSNBC telling the mouth breathers that their agenda is to bankrupt the guy and stop him from being able to pay for legal fees so they can bring him to heel… And if you accuse them of having this agenda they will label YOU a fascist.
See prior rant. Hey Chief Justice Roberts — I know you’re worried about the reputation of the Court and all… but letting crap like this stand with conflicting circuits is only fostering the divisions that will tear this country apart if we keep it up. Maybe do your gorram jobs already?
But for all I know he’s off to Davos with the local escorts like the rest of them and that’s all part of the plan.
I don’t see the constitutional issue. I believe the Supreme Court is right in letting the states decide.
Agreed unless its done at the Federal regulatory level, which hopefully will be quashed with the cases against Chevron.
Thank you. Just because one state passes a stupid law does not make it a Constitutional issue.
Seems like the Feds already have their finger on the scale.
The logic is so breathlessly ridiculous I can’t believe any judge is taking it seriously.
It’s not about logic, it’s their side winning no matter what. See above rant about Ayers.
But this debate is retarded. Just use the RR of your actual, biological sex. The end.
Did the graft get to the right donors and moochers? Then it was worth it, just like the “shovel ready” jobs and Solyndra and the rest the last time these people refilled the trough.
“Department Of Justice Acknowledges Hunter Biden Laptop Content Is Legitimate For First Time”
As if the mouth breathers that bought this shit hook, line, and sinker will suddenly do a 180. They know at this point it doesn’t matter if they admit they are criminals, because their campaign of scaring the idiots into thinking their banana republic marxist legal warfare on political enemies and other Americans is in defense of their version of the fundamentally changed republic they now label “Their democracy”.
These people are evil.
Does the deep state want Biden out?
I surmise they might want to trade him for some other douchebag they control since it looks he is going to make fortification efforts to blatant to convince people off. This could be part of the tactic to convince him. I personally think this would actually have the exact opposite effect, as Biden sees running as a necessity to keep some control of the machine and to protect his racket.
Those who depend on Biden family grift will not be happy to have him replaced. But the Deep State can be very persuasive.
You know Joe isn’t giving up Hunter as a sacrificial lamb, so if the bricks come down on him it is because daddy couldn’t protect him anymore.
I had wiped it from my memory but someone brought it up the other day and now the image is seared into my brain. Hunter fucking and choking out his own 16 yo niece on a filthy bed. Can a person be more depraved? Where are the charges for that?
Yes they are evil and depraved. Evil knows no bounds and never sleeps.
Yes. People can be more depraved.
I prefer not to search it out though.
Peak depravity? We haven’t even gotten the pedos into the rainbow coalition yet, let alone child sacrifice and tossing virgins into volcanoes.
We’re on step 0.5 of a 10 step dechristianization plan. It takes a while to shake 2 millennia of ingrained history and tradition.
It’s almost like the Bidens show all the signs of coming from a household where sexual abuse was taking place.
It’s not like he lied about never having met some chick that claims he molested her maybe sometime in the 90’s or something.
Since Banjos lynx involve cue animals:
There is a local goat dairy/cult that makes excellent cheese, their insufferable politics notwithstanding. Even with a “volunteer” labor force, Lee can’t keep the lights on mongering cheese, so they’re doing the Jeremy’s razors thing and switching to goat shaving cream and the like. I don’t know if they’re still raising bespoke pigs.
Anyway, if any of you need goats, I got this email yesterday:
I got one heck of a recipe for Jamaican Tamarind jerk goat…. Will they butcher, pack and mail?
The perfect Glib request.
Probably. They do pork.
Honestly, I’ve gotta admire their salesmanship. They “raise” pigs on a big chunk of forest (letting them market them as “acorn-finished”). Once a day they pour off the leftover whey at the same location so the piggies aways show up. Which makes them super easy to harvest.
Looks like I might need to check in on “adopting” some goat meat then…
That is the traditional method of raising pigs dating back at least to medieval times and probably much earlier.
Very efficient too. I honestly admire them for getting a premium price for minimal labor and feed costs.
If they were trying to put sheep up for adoption, they’d have a line of Montana ranchers around their barn looking for a new Montana Blond. But goats? A yard full of pervert goat ropers is all that you are going to get.
HEY NOW!
Lee would keep a kid in the front seat as they did their weekly deliveries. I am sure their customer loyalty was high.
That kid should be in school!
Dude, you are thinking of fish.
“Montana Blonde” for the win.
Goat related cults are the best cults. The solstice orgies are EPIC bro.
A farm with an entirely female unpaid workforce.
Knowing that sky-high prices at the pump would sink Tapioca Joe’s re-election chances, his handlers have been quietly giving the finger to the Gaia lobby for a while now.
The criminal shit is that the moment they realize this has worked (or not) and they no longer need it, they will reverse course and fuck the economy right and hard all over because they agenda is not to save anything but their hold on power.
Gas jumped $.25..now I know its market forces, weather, etc. Just going to be fun cause not more than a week ago the admin was champion that our great savior brought the prices down!
The local gas station prices seem to fluctuate quite a bit lately. A $.30 change up or down in a day isn’t unusual. Then a station a couple of miles down the road is unchanged.
I’ve been seeing this too. What the heck?
┐(´ー｀)┌
Like a tug of war between the drop in demand from the recession we supposedly aren’t experiencing, the drop in domestic production due to Biden, and international troubles.
Exactly how does the Administration control production (other than doing what the Trump Admin did in 2020)? Sure, leases and such – that’s long-term, not short.
The Democratic National Convention is going to be a complete shitshow what with the enviros and the pro-palis acting up. It’s going to make Chicago 1968 look like an old lady bridge afternoon. Suspect they’ll find an excuse to cancel it, probably security.
It sounds like their will be a shit ton of economic growth opportunities in Chicago with them proggies going on a destructive rampage..
All them broken windows and burned down buildings… Man them Chicagoans are about to see one heck of an economic boon…
Oh, damn. I just envisioned busloads of “migrants” being dumped at the Dem convention. Presumably those local laws prohibiting that will have been stayed or overturned by then.
And with mayor dumbshit blaming it all on MAGA white men.
I wouldn’t bet on it. The Riot-American community was fully spun up in 2020, pissed off at the Dems for submarining the commie candidate, and yet didn’t do much of anything at the DNC convention. I’m not sure why things would be different this time around.
I’ll take that bet. The dems have lost control of their pets. This should be epic. BBQ dinner for the winner.
Like any of that will be broadcast, or any of those people let in.
Daily Ray of Sunshine
Thanks Jimbo, nice to know good parents are raising good kids.
/Hides the mirror
Nice!
My overall take? Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
There is a ‘Best Practices’ manual for life. Unfortunately no one wants to read it. Most people are looking for a magical shortcut around reality. Look at the shit advertised on TV…make your cick bigger, get sexier, get younger, lose weight without trying, get rid of whatever with a secret cure, and my favorite – smart pills.
And government, what did Bastiat say? Government is the great fiction by which everyone seeks to live at the expense of everyone else.
The leftist agenda appears to be collapsing because it appeals to the same lazy part of human nature that the smart pills do: a magical shortcut around reality. In the end reality always wins.
make your cick bigger
I’m assuming that was a typo? And remember not everyone can afford their own cuck.(maybe nsfw) Much less be able to invest money into making him bigger and buffer. Way to flaunt your cuck privilege Suthen!
Reality took 75 yeas to win in the Soviet Union and shows little sign of slowing down in China.
“There is a ‘Best Practices’ manual for life. Unfortunately no one wants to read it.”
Was listening to a recent Thomas Sowell book, and he makes exactly this case. There is no secret to success he points out. But there is definitely a real simple formula to avoid poverty/destitution, and the problem is we are not even allowed to talk about that because the simple rules are anathema to progressivism.
His book Wealth, Poverty and Politics is the relevant reference.
Walter Williams used to have his rules:
1) Get a high school diploma
2) Get a job. Any job.
3) Don’t have kids until you are married.
That was it. Do those and you will end up doing pretty well in life.
That’s exactly what that gem of a man Williams learned from his mentor Sowell. Sowell is a little more glib about rule #2. He points out that you should pursue getting numerous valuable skills that will allow you to show you have value to an employer or to run your own business. People that know how to do shit others want but can’t do themselves, will never have to be poor. Glenn Reynolds’ recent article about the coming white collar apocalypse should make young men opt for the trades. Can’t outsource those or have an AI do them (yet).
When we had our cabin, the septic tank guy was a middle aged guy who was one of the wealthier people in the area. He’d tell you the secret to his success was to become good at doing a job no one else wanted to do.
My ex father in law lived in one of them NY state small towns near the IBM complexes and was a volunteer fireman. In that volunteer fireman core were a lot of IBM engineers and managers. There was also a couple of trades townies. I still remember my father in law telling me he was ticked cause the plumber had retired at 55, was loaded, and was going to spend his time traveling the world with his spouse, while the whole gang of IBM big wigs would still be working for at least another decade.
One of my wealthier customers install/services septic tanks. The guy I bought my avatar from was nestled on several acres outside of Pittsburgh and had a car collection spanning several pull sheds on his property and included a ’69 Roadrunner hemi amongst several other very nice cars like the then new C8 Corvette that replaces what I bought. He rented/serviced port-a-potties.
I’ll give an equivalent answer to the one I gave when “Learn to Code” was a thing.
Not everyone is suited to be a plumber or a mechanic – that’s just the truth.
So yeah, if the hype pans out, AI is going to devastate the country the same way outsourcing did. Yay?
It is called the success cycle or something like that, and there is a bunch of research that backs it up.
https://ifstudies.org/blog/what-does-the-success-sequence-mean#:~:text=If%20you%20live%20in%20the,married%20before%20you%20have%20children.
Success Sequence, not cycle.
“Freezing temperatures cause EV problems in Illinois”
It always baffles me that so many of the Gaia saving crowd, you know the ones that tell you they believe the science then look fawningly at that gnome Fauci, are completely ignorant of the fact cold temps ruin battery charges because it slows down the process that generates the electrical charge. Have they never left a flashlight with batteries out in the real cold to find the thing no longer works even with batteries they knew to be new? I guess I am asking too much from people that tell you yes, electricity comes from wall sockets and look at you as if you have three heads when you point out to them that some other source of energy needs to be used and the electricity then needs to be moved to where it will be used with a considerable loss.
Science my ass.
EVs dont work. It is as simple as that. The whole scam is a disaster. They dont work.
Instead of the rube-goldburg method of turning 100M joules into 100K joules and taking hours to charge your car just take five minutes to put the goddamned fuel source directly into your var and be on your way.
Until an EV can go coast-to-coast in under 30 hours, they are a scam.
I wonder if anyone has even tried to Cannonball an EV?
Depends on the use case. They are fun to drive, and they work great as daily commuter cars, taxis and delivery vehicles.
In a 500 mile race at the track? Pretty terrible. Cross country? Still a few hoops to jump through, but depending on where you travel, not intolerable, and getting better. As a work truck in the Dakotas doing pipeline work? Probably not very good.
But this current cold snap spate of stories seems to involve at least some user error. These cars include heaters for this scenario. You have to “precondition” the battery to get it ready for fast charging. Still a PITA, but not insurmountable.
I agree they have their use case. That battery heater, though, runs off the battery. I suspect there is a vicious cycle in cold weather, as battery performance declines and the battery heater draws more power, you probably get to a point where you battery is stone dead and cold quicker than you think or, if the lines are long enough at the local public charger, quicker than you can do anything about it.
The real cherry on top is that the use case is urban-focused, where people are less likely to have their own garage and charger, making the vicious cycle in cold weather much more likely.
Stupid all the way down caused by the idiocy of top down busybodies.
In really cold weather, I wonder how much energy the battery heater draws. Those batteries are not small, after all. It can’t be easy to keep over a thousand pounds of mass warmed up. People also probably have an unrealized assumption in their heads, too, from a lifetime of experience with IC cars – when a car is running, it heats itself up. That ain’t the case with EVs.
Sort of like the fun when a bunch of northern states learned that LED traffic lights don’t generate enough heat to keep them from being coated in snow and ice?
The heater didn’t draw much on mine, but I have it plugged in at home, so it’s really running off the house. The drop in battery life when it got real cold was pretty shocking, but I will still maintain no problem as a commuter vehicle, especially in a 2 car household.
A permanent replacement for the entire US vehicle fleet – no.
A possibility for a 2 car household? Possibly.
A possibility for a 2 car household? Possibly.
I think it can work as a single car for those folks who dont need to travel much. Both my wife’s parents (separate households) have EVs. MIL has it as her only car. FIL has it as a second car.
MIL makes it work for daily commute but got clobbered when trying to road trip up here to visit us. FIL and his wife road trip in their tesla and love it. Granted, they are retired, travel often enough to know how to plan road trips, and are happy to grab a hotel and extend a day if necessary.
EVs aren’t generally incapable. They’re just inconvenient in certain situations. Where they’re incapable, nobody is buying them (*cough* F-150 Lightning)
Yeah, I work from home, so our second car is rarely necessary, so an EV would work. But I prefer my Jeep instead.
2.5 years and it has barely over 10k miles on it.
That’s what I was thinking. A garage out of the weather and a trickle of ac would probably avoid most of this. I keep my internal combustion autos in the garage and my other crap elsewhere.
I’m amazed that some locals still don’t have garages. The temp in my unheated garage is 30 degrees warmer than outside, when it gets below zero. In addition no snow, no frost on the windshield. When I rented (no garage) I had a head bolt heater and a battery blanket. Apartments had plug ins outside
Garages are awesome.
Not even just for cold weather. My Z3 was parked in my garage at home and in a parking garage at work and had the best paint in TX.
They aren’t round, so don’t fit in barrels well enough to create a seal.
I don’t know if I would say they don’t work, but I know for a fact that EV tech lack maturity to make it a viable replacement for the combustion engine.
Until we can more efficiently change energy forms, store it, charge the car faster and make them use that energy more efficiently the whole thing is a pipe dream.
That aint gonna happen. The ICE engine is too far ahead for EVs to catch up.
Preach brother! Preach!
My ex-BIL had a Fiat 500E for several hundred miles. He bought it one November several years ago. The battery froze overnight the first week he had it and it wouldn’t start. He had it towed to the dealership and never saw it again because they did a buyback. They battery had failed due to freezing temps and to replace the battery was going to cost $28k. Now the good news, he bought it used for $9k. It was still under warranty and they gave him $12.5k for buyback.
Serious question: If a current-gen lithium ion car battery freezes (as in, assumes ambient temperate all the way through in, say 20 degree weather), does that damage it or is it fine once it thaws out? Is there a temperature below which the battery is compromised?
At a minimum it will suffer sever performance degradation going forward as its max charging capacity will be considerably impacted. But if it goes on for too long the battery will be useless.
Why are we even talking about this? Will it freeze, will it work, can I charge it, make intricate plans, how much will it cost for a new battery, if I get in a wreck will I burn to death waiting for hazmat to clear the rescue squad, blah blah blah blah. Who needs that shit? This whole thing is stupid.
Take 5 mins, put 450miles worth of gas in your car and be on your way.
There you go again, Suthen, using logic. It’s people like you that keeps me and John Kerry from saving the world.
My ex-Congressman Dean Phillips is going scorched earth
It will be interesting to see how the Deep State breaks him. “Nice family fortune you have their, Dean, shame if something happened to it”
Back in the day, I was always a supporter of the Phillips family. I could always get something from the bottom shelf, even if I had to ask for assistance.
Skip the fancy bottles and the Playboy marketing ploy.
I still hold a grudge against him and his family for the misery that their peppermint schnapps inflicted on me.
Cry havoc and let slip the IRS Agents of war!
Junior Tom is as useless as his dad. No chance for any kind of abuses here. None.

Teenage girls and their uptight suburban moms are the best sources of legislation. It is known.
Wait until they come for the dudes with dicks.
chicks with dicks.
There are no chicks with dicks…
Just dudes with tits.
You may remember that the Biden administration expected a significant deficit reduction from its tax increases and the expected benefits of its Inflation Reduction Act.
What Americans got was a massive deficit and persistent inflation.
Who, other than the utter rubes who believe the Biden administration’s bushwa, actually expected deficit reduction from the mendaciously-named Inflation Reduction Act?
I wonder how many of them believe their oft repeated big lies? This one was so silly and they repeated it so robotically and automatically, without any deeper thought at all. The press never went further than Fox News asking how spending more reduces inflation and getting a Trump style “it will be the best, most amazing inflation reduction ever” in return.
They sure as hell believe (or want you to believe) it is the kulaks and wreckers that make them fail at the stupid shit they keep doing…
The mature people took over from the damned mean tweeter!
And these mature people have let the world go to shit. It is literally in flames now.
Judges using the old standby of “lacks standing” to deny doctors suing the government for wrecking their career wit anti-ivermectin campaign. Appeals court tells the lower court to try again.

Funny how standing issues seem to always cut in favor of the state and the uniparty, just like censorship and their other tools for maintaining power and control.
If you look at it as work avoidance by the judiciary it makes sense.
Trying something novel is a PITA.
Trump Wins Historic 98 of 99 Counties in Iowa, Losing Only County by Single Vote
And Neo-con Nikki, who came in third, thinks it’s a 2 person race now.
So does CNN.
Also, CNN and MSNBC got talking points that Iowa is 60% white Christians, and therefore only white supremacists will vote for Trump and he won’t possibly win in New Hampshire and South Carolina.
Also, also, this is why Nikki Haley isn’t winning… as a person of color, she can’t win in the modern day Nazi party.
I see that you listen to the commie racist that is Joyless Reed.
Megyn Kelly had a compilation. I saw a longer one somewhere else, but don’t remember the source
https://youtu.be/NZaeFDkaFRs?si=071MGX_GoWKtV85F
Speaking of the abominable Ms Reid.
Personally I think she should be called out for appropriating a Swedish look.
They always seem to miss that Haley was SC’s governor to the eternal shame of that state. There actually are a fair number of evangelicals left there and they had no problem with her so it ain’t her ethnicity/skin tint that’s the problem.
Way back in the day, I think the first comment I ever left over at Volokh.com was about this.
Short version is that (as far as regular old white Southerners are concerned), Nikki’s white, and always has been.
Living in SC, I can’t recall seeing a single Haley sign. Loads of Trump stuff, a few for DeSantis, and even a couple for Kennedy. It’s as if they purged Haley from their collective memories.
“You get what you ask for. Whether you want it or not. And whether you even know you’re asking for it or not.” – Kevin Cullinane at Freedom School
She asked for it. Never Nikki.
“she fooled those dumb hicks into thinking she was white is how!”
-CNN
When is she announced as Trump’s running mate?
There are no white Christian Republicans in South Carolina so Trump could be in trouble there.
Kerry’s staff gets paid 4.3M a year to harass us with the worst policies ever conceived.
And the only way they get more money is to ratchet up the pain they inflict on us..
Nikki Haley Refusing to Do More Presidential Debates Unless Trump Joins
Trump is the defacto incumbent, darling.
There’s more donations to be had.
She’s just trying to dodge the Frederick Douglaslike debating skills of Ronnie D.
I’m cool with that. Seeing the two neo cons go at it doesn’t do it for me.
Department Of Justice Acknowledges Hunter Biden Laptop Content Is Legitimate For First Time
So they acknowledge the election interference in 2020.
I think they have learned that you can just rely on doublethink to get by these days.
They got caught on so many things without consequence… heck, they impeached a president over a lie… Twice!!… and nobody even got rebuked. Well, except Liz Cheyney.
They can just transparently lie to your face and let you know they are lying these days.
I’m pretty sure Pravda never had it this good.
Note what remains unmentioned…
They KNEW it was real when they got 50 deep stater intel types to craft a letter saying it looked like a Russian op….
Like I told one of the idiot progs I work with when she asked why people couldn’t just let go of the fact some bad decisions were maid during the Kung Flu: I will be ready to forgive and move on when we get the criminals that bused power and destroyed the lives of so many others to admit they fucked up – and often on purpose and by design – they resign positions of power (especially in government and social media), and then we put laws in place to make sure these abuses never are allowed again without consequences that are brutal…
She was unhappy with my ask. And it was definitely because she thinks there will be a second coming of this shit they want to use to move the despicable anti-humanist globalist agenda forward.
Part of it probably is that they have sat on it long enough that the statute of limitations has run on a fair number of the crimes he so courteously documented for them.
Part of it is also probably an attempt to ratchet up the pressure on Biden to go away. But that runs into their Harris problem. Which in turn runs into their wokist problem – they can’t replace Harris with anyone except a POC chick, and they are pretty much fresh out of those. At least, those that would have a hint of a scintilla of a trace of credibility.
You mean they can’t use Karine Jean-Pierre or that guy that stole luggage at airports?
Money Printing Will Accelerate as Debt Soars
Save your dollars as we Zimbabwe ourselves. You’ll need something to wipe with.
Are US dollars flushable? I’m assuming Canucki ones aren’t what with being plastic and all.
As a cotton-linen blend, I wouldn’t flush US dollars. They’ll clog your pipes.
Cotton-linen? Ugh! The Biden clan must employ someone full time to iron their dollars after they’ve been laundered.
Federal Judges Slam Colleagues For Not Considering Trump’s ‘Executive Privilege’ In Twitter Search Warrant
Trump is the first president not allowed to have executive privilege because Orange Man Bad.
The TV news refused to air his victory speech from Iowa because he is uniquely dangerous.
Sure he is the “fascist” that wants to do basic, populist (frankly, American…) things.
I am still fascinated by the double-think involved in (a) holding up “democracy” as our highest value and (b) hating “populist” movements and candidates.
Maybe it’s an Athenian Democracy, where most residents were not permitted a say in how things were run.
He’s the wrong kind of populist, because reasons.
So was Bernie.
The fact is the elitists are lying hypocrites and this is just one more instance.
To these people, Milei is a fascist. Anyone calling anyone that these days is just screaming “I’m a moron”.
The great irony being, the uni-party organ of the State works better than Mussolini or Hitler’s actual parties.
I’m less concerned with the executive privilege and more with this was a general warrant in blatant violation of the 4th.
General warrants for his Twitter and his home. What a wonderful republic we live in.

Floyd was a two-bit violent career criminal that overdosed on fentanyl. Good riddance. End of story.
Paywalled.
Anyway, what killed George Floyd is a bit of a red herring. The issue is whether it was because he was black. So far, I’ve seen no evidence of that, or anyone seriously asking the question.
Biden’s Climate Agenda Is Imploding
Every Biden agenda is imploding. He is imploding the US and the world.
Unfortunately it’s not imploding enough. I want way more of these onerous rules to go away.
For those that wonder about Brian Kemp’s allegiances as a republican…
Governors don’t open investigations, AGs do. Not that Georgia’s appears to be doing that of course.
Gathering information and waiting for a propitious time to drop the bombshell?
Freezing temperatures cause EV problems
in IllinoisBecause batteries have problems in the cold. Which has been known forever.
But it’s modern times?!?
The globalists will not let anyone undermine their agenda.
The shadow cast by the Bush dynasty is long and odorous. May be another decade before the stink of those globalists leaves the Republican party. Lord knows how they consolidated power so quickly.
They’ve been in charge of the party since Taft was denied the ’52 presidential nomination. Hell, Wilkie was pushed into the nomination in ’40 to fend off any non-interventionists.
2024 election fortification is going to be epic.
President Joe Biden trails former President Donald Trump in a head-to-head rematch in Georgia, according to an Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll of registered voters that shows the Republican with a solid 45% to 37% lead over the Democratic incumbent.
He was leading there several times in the past and still loses every election there.
See my link to the Brian Kemp going to Davos instead of taking down that criminal Fanni Willis as he should above for why..
Fortification plus backing such losers as Walker for Senate. Gee, didn’t the loss of two Georgia GOP senators really hurt the chances of throwing obstacles in President Dr. Jill’s Husband’s agenda.
Meh. Registered voters.
GA is like AZ, right? In that it didn’t do a damn thing to fix electoral security after 2020?
Well I think they did some really minor things but not worth nothing.
This. They’ll have videos of people dumping backpacks full of ballots into ballot boxes, suitcases full of ballots being rerun, and analysis of statistically impossible straight runs of Biden votes and nothing else will happen.
Think of all the work for plumbers “fixing” pipes that stubbornly refuse to leak at local election headquarters.
Useless, anti-American cunte.
Republican Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) appeared at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Tuesday, while ignoring calls to criminally prosecute Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
Kemp’s Davos vacation suggests he prefers to socialize with global elites than combat corruption in his own state of Georgia.
Kemp told Georgia state lawmakers his Davos trip is “a great opportunity for me to be out here to share Georgia’s success story with people from around the world. Because I believe they can certainly learn a thing or two from us.”
Learn a thing or two about how to pretend not to advance the WEF agenda while greasing the skids for it? Stuff like that?
I mean I’m ok with Republicans going and throwing wrenches into things.
Doubtful that’s what he did though.
Clearly the best pussy on the planet is in Davos this week.

In doing so he added his voice to the swelling chorus from Europe that fears a Trump return to the world stage.

I heard now that they’re trying to censor criticizing “THE SOLUTIONS” to global warming instead of just global warming.
So if you point out that no “solution” to global warming has ever actually reduced CO2, that’s a censorable crime.
The solution to global warming is the peasants knowing their place and leaving luxury and travel and the like to the elites, like God intended.
That’s about the best explanation I’ve seen.
The important thing is the VCs and the IBs made money.
Uber said it’s shutting down Drizly, the alcohol-delivery service it acquired for $1.1 billion in 2021.
Drizly said Monday that it would accept its final orders in March.
Uber acquired Drizly as part of its foray into the delivery business after pandemic lockdowns boosted alcohol-delivery sales but the Boston-based company quickly faced challenges. Alcohol-delivery sales haven’t captured the U.S. booze market, remaining only a small portion of overall consumption.
https://www.wsj.com/tech/uber-shuts-down-alcohol-delivery-app-drizly-1406caf3?st=kjvpong6xk1ny1p&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink
We never got this one. Uber eats locally closed down after like 2 years.
I can see why. I live in a fairly dense urban area in south Florida, and it is insanely expensive. Normal folks in flyover country don’t live in dense areas like this, so deliveries would be even more costly. Plus, normal folks are not dumb enough to pay $20 for a burrito from Chipotle (after delivery fees, markup and tip).
I was desperate for cold medicine one morning a few weeks ago so ordered delivery from Wegmans partnering with Instacart – first time.
With delivery and tip it was probably double the cost of the two items I ordered.
Maybe worth it for a long list but them I’m expected to sit there and pick alternate items for every item in case they’re sold out? Yeah, pass.
When I lived in Boston circa 2013ish, we had a local liquor store that would deliver. It was probably illegal, but they were Russian immigrants so either didn’t know or care. Was real handy during blizzards.
PA will ship free (orders over $99) in state to your doorstep.
At state store prices, that’s 4 bottles of Two-Buck Chuck.
Man, that’s mildly surprising. I saw lots and lots of ads pushing for Drizly (and partnerships with liquor companies and the like). Looked into potentially using it a couple times for beer deliveries, but their search sucked ass. It kept bouncing the order to a beverage store 50+ minutes away instead of one of the ones that was less than 10 minutes away. No search by location that I found in my brief time dicking around either. I did order deliveries from several of the local breweries, as they were technically “self-distributing” under Ohio law, and would put more money into the brewery’s hands than if I bought it at a store.
The liquor store has to be well organized and aware of inventory for it to work right. Less of a problem in DFW, but I did occasionally see that same issue. Overall if I have the time, it is worth it to go in person and avoid the major fees and tip. Also I noticed the liquor stores charged higher prices (or maybe it was Drizly) on the Drizly app than if you went in person and bypassed them. Grub Hub does the same thing.
Boy that is a tragedy. That was a very handy service.

In 18th century England young men and women had complete freedom to select their spouses. This distinguished England not only from India or China but France and Germany. Where did this freedom come from and what are its consequences? A thread on “Marriage and Love in England”:
To start, a love story. John Paston was a 15th century aristocrat. While John is away from home, his 20 year old daughter Margery pledges herself to his bailiff, Richard Calle. The family is outraged: her brother writes she will end up selling candles on the street.
The Bishop tries to dissuade Margery, interrogates her about what _exactly_ she said to Calle. He says need some time to make his decision, but the Pastons already know they are beaten. The marriage is upheld: Richard is kept on as bailiff, but Margery is disowned.
Margery Paston enjoyed a freedom in 1470 that did not exist in France even in 1900, where parental consent at her age was mandated. The rules governing consent were alike in France and Germany because both countries had adopted Roman Law, and with it, echoes of the paterfamilias

In recent years, Justice Gorsuch has voted against regulations that protect the environment, student-debt forgiveness and Covid-19 precautions. During a Covid-19 spike in early 2022, Gorsuch was the lone justice who declined to wear a mask while sitting on the bench.
He has led calls on the court for reversal of a 1984 Supreme Court decision that gives federal agencies considerable regulatory latitude and that, coincidentally traces to his mother’s tenure. The Supreme Court will hear a pair of cases on Wednesday testing that 40-year-old case known as Chevron USA, Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, which has become the touchstone for resolving conflicts over agency power.
The issue comes down to Congress’ ability to write open-ended laws that delegate policy details to agency officials. The Chevron principle dictates that when disputes arise over regulation of an ambiguous law, judges should defer to agency interpretations of the law if the interpretations are reasonable.
The Chevron case has steered disputes over countless directives intended to protect the public, such as from air pollution, workplace hazards, risky drugs and medical fraud, or to guarantee certain benefits, such as people with disabilities and elderly.
Lives are in peril, as is the very air we breathe.
when disputes arise over regulation of an ambiguous law, judges should defer to agency interpretations of the law if the interpretations are reasonable. – I cannot understand how someone believes this can be OK. Write ambiguous laws and defer to bureacrats.
THEY’RE EXPERTS MAN… EXPERTS!!!
regulations that protect the environment, student-debt forgiveness and Covid-19 precautions
oh, you mean things in which the federal government has not constitutional authority?
judges should defer to agency interpretations
This should never have been a thing.
Lives are in peril, as is the very air we breathe.
Defer to government “experts”. They should rule us.
How dare he limit government’s ability to piss away the productive people they fleece’s tax money and limit government’s bullshit attempts to buy votes from life’s losers!
If we don’t let unelected bureaucrats make the rules, it’s a threat to Our Democracy.
This is another instance proving that cognitive dissonance isn’t real. Those two thoughts in one head should have a Scanners like result.

The federal government has repeatedly emphasized the importance of agency authority for the public good, whether in environmental protection, worker safety or consumer safeguards.
“Overruling Chevron would be a convulsive shock to the legal system,” US Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar, who will defend the 1984 precedent on Wednesday, told the justices in a filing. “All three Branches of government, regulated parties, and the public have arranged their affairs for decades with Chevron as the backdrop against which Congress legislates, agencies issue rules and orders, and courts resolve disputes about those agency actions.”
What a horrifying prospect. Won’t somebody think of the bureaucrats and lawyers?
agency authority for the public good
Fuck you. 90% of federal agencies have no constitutional basis for existence. Eliminate them, with prejudice.
“Overruling Chevron would be a convulsive shock to the legal system,”
Problem?
Congress legislates
Ok…

Not legit in the slightest.
WITHOUT EXPERTS WE’LL ALL DIE!!!!
Merrill has written that although the impact was not immediately clear, it led over the years to expansive deference to agencies and “seemed to offer a universal reason to prefer agency interpretations to judicial ones.”
An escape hatch allowing them to “defer to the experts” and enable the under the table expansion of government power. What could be better?
How to get new nuclear built faster
Let’s allow any design approved in the US or Europe to be built in Britain
https://www.samdumitriu.com/p/how-to-get-new-nuclear-built-faster
Back when he was Chief Scientific Advisor Sir Patrick Vallance made a rather smart suggestion: that medicines already recognised as safe by regulators in places like the EU, US, or Japan should be automatically approved as safe in the UK.
To be clear, any drug approved as safe and effective in Europe or America is extremely unlikely to be rejected by our own regulator down the line. So by automatically approving drugs approved in the US or EU, what’s known as unilateral recognition, Sir Patrick’s plan would cut unnecessary delays and get drugs to patients sooner.
When it’s completed in 2028, Hinkley Point C in Somerset will be the first nuclear power station built in Britain in over three decades. It will also be the second most expensive nuclear power station built in history on a pound-for-megawatt basis.
In fact, at a cost of £32bn (£10m per MW) Hinkley Point C will cost 5 times more than it costs to build a new nuclear power plant in South Korea.
Hinkley Point C by contrast is the first nuclear power station built in the UK in decades. But, even over a single project massive efficiency gains from learning-by-doing can be achieved. For example, EDF claims that welding for the second reactor is being done four times faster than for the first reactor.
One major driver of Hinkley Point C’s costs is that EDF were effectively forced to build a first-of-its-kind reactor design by the Office for Nuclear Regulation. To win regulatory approval in the UK, EDF had to make roughly 7,000 design changes from the reactor design they use in France. Not only do the design changes mean that 25% more concrete and 35% more steel is needed during construction, but also that many lessons EDF have learnt the hard way in France can’t be easily applied in the UK.
But if the UK uses Japanese reactor designs, they’ll all go Fukushima the next time there’s a Tsunami in England!
They are definitely due for one. MAY THE CLEANSING WATER RETURN!

Prelogar, who will argue for the Biden administration in both cases, asserts that the Chevron precedent rightly puts authority for crucial policy in the hands of regulators who would know best how to protect the public interest. “Chevron gives appropriate weight to the expertise, often of a scientific or technical nature, that federal agencies can bring to bear in interpreting federal statutes,” she wrote.
Dizzy now.
So you are saying that the FBI is a terrorist organization.
HUMZAH MASHKOOR HAD just cleared security at Denver International Airport when the FBI showed up. The agents had come to arrest the 18-year-old, who is diagnosed with a developmental disability, and charge him with terror-related crimes. At the time of the arrest, a relative later saidOpens in a new tab in court, Mashkoor was reading “Diary of a Wimpy KidOpens in a new tab,” a book written for elementary school children.
Mashkoor had gone to the airport on December 18 to fly to Dubai, and from there to either Syria or Afghanistan, as part of his alleged plot to join the Islamic State. The trip had been spurred by over a year of online exchanges starting when Mashkoor was 16 years old with four people he believed were members of ISIS. According to the Justice Department’s criminal complaintOpens in a new tab, the four were actually undercover FBI agents. As a result of his conversations with the FBI, Mashkoor could face a lengthy sentence for attempting to provide material support to a terrorist organization.
At an initial court hearing, family members said that Mashkoor, who had turned 18 just a few weeks prior to the arrest, had intellectual difficulties and been diagnosed with autism. Despite acknowledging Mashkoor’s family support and his young age, the judge ordered that he be detained while awaiting trial.
Fuck the FBI (it has no constitutional basis for existing anyway…), and especially fuck this judge.
What is wrong with us?
It is bad enough that we let this slide the first few times? But now?
These FBI “undercover” operations have to be stopped. They should probably be prosecuted.
The FBI literally plotted to kidnap a governor. And nothing else happened except the couple patsies in a sea of FBI agents/informants were prosecuted.
Dissolve the organization. Raze it’s infrastructure. Salt the earth.
Prosecuted? Democrat style – punishment first, trial after?
Entrapment doesn’t matter if you’re entrapped for sufficiently icky things.
Don’t get me wrong, a “developmentally disabled” bomb explodes just as strongly as a normal one, so I don’t much like the journo’s angle on this one, but entrapment is entrapment.

“Sure, if you have a thousand pipeline explosions per year, if it takes on that extreme scale. But we are some distance from that, unfortunately,” Malm answered.

The European Union, the political and economic organization of 27 nations, was previously criticized by political experts for not taking the election of Trump seriously back in 2016. The EU and Trump clashed over many items, most notably on trade and the role of multilateral institutions.
“Of course, it will have influence in the EU,” Vera Jourova, European Commission vice president, told CNBC in Davos regarding the U.S. election.
“If Mr. Trump will become the president … we might see a strengthening of Russia and increasing of appetite of Putin to grab more territory, and this directly endangering the security of our member states,” she said, adding that “we have concerns, we are preparing for any option.”
Are they going to invade if Trump wins?

Stupid question- reading about the frozen and un-chargeable EV’s in Chicago (and I’m assuming anyplace else that’s cold).
How were we able to have those need battery powered cars driving on the surface of the moon? I’m gonna guess its not a very warm environment either.
I know Mars is. Its not the kind of place to raise your kids, and I have it on good authority that’s its cold as hell.
The moon is in vacuum – without contact with cold air, the math on heat dissipation changes.
The moon has no atmosphere, so both conductive and convective cooling are shut off, leaving only radiative cooling, and a decent insulator cuts down on the amount of power needed to maintain operating temperature. In fact, there are problems with sufficient cooling at times.
Mars has a very thin atmosphere, so you get some of the same benefits as on the moon. If you design for the conditions, you can manage.
Those cars that froze were not particularly well insulated at all. Because for many of their customers it’s going to damage the batteires by overheating and causing fires.
You kept them insulated and either cooled or heated. Same as the astronauts.
Without jumping into the fray my understanding is modern lithium cells can deliver current at or below -40C. However, you can’t charge at that temperature.
Anecdotally from my read of the 5 years of Tesla related forum reading nobody has ever had a battery destroyed by freezing. The BMS (battery management system) won’t deliver current if it thinks it unsafe or destructive to do so. The failure mode is designed to be safe and preserve the battery.
Those batteries were insulated & heated if not nuclear…

Welcome to Dreamland
California and the San Francisco Bay Area are desperate for more housing, especially affordable homes for teachers, firefighters, police and other municipal workers who make a city run.
You know- the neediest and most deserving.
They should build an adjacent luxury community and call it Panem.
If those people can’t afford housing, you have other problems.
You can thank 9/11 for establishing this hero whoreship.
Anyone think they’ll have “defund the police” there? Allow rampant homelessness? Give drug addicts free reign of the sidewalks? They’re going to run that place like Singapore.
Yes they will have all of that, because California won’t let it be otherwise.
The voters have spoken – they don’t want any of that. Shrug.
Without jumping into the fray my understanding is modern lithium cells can deliver current at or below -40C. However, you can’t charge at that temperature.
Don’t those vehicles have battery heaters specifically for cold weather? Which is fine, until they go flat. It works until it doesn’t.
I assume the vehicle has to be brought inside and warmed up before it will take a charge.
Depends on the vehicle. Some have a resistive heater that warms circulating coolant. My Tesla stalls one of the motors and generates heat that way. No heater required.
Power for either comes from the wall or the pack. Again as far as I know to at least -40C you can pull enough current to move without needing to heat the pack. The heating is only required for charging.

“This is a pipe dream,” said Democratic U.S. Rep. John Garamendi, who was furious with backers for their secrecy about property close to a U.S. Air Force base.
He said the proposed development, which he also was briefed on, makes no sense “in the middle of areas surrounded by wind farms, gas fields, endangered species, no water, no sanitation system and no road system let alone a highway system.”
They want to build a company town without a company to anchor it to.
If your Tesla freezes solid, you just jump in the Range Rover. No biggie.
Having owned a Land Rover it’s 50/50 the Range Rover is going to work.
That’s why if my Tesla freezes the current main Sensei household vehicle is an Acura MDX.
Creepy but not wrong.
Yes to both.
Apologies to anyone looking at this, but testing some Eyepiece stuff…
