We’re almost to the semifinals and I haven’t been able to see a minute of the Aussie Open. Let’s see if Joker can get there with the other big names (Sinner, Alvarez, Zverev). I guess that match is tomorrow. Or today, I never can figure out the Aussie calendar. Alabama basketball gets into legal situations as weird as their football team. Yeah, that’s not sketchy looking at all. And that’s about it for sports.
This grifter probably chose the wrong state. Also, he should probably be in prison.
Yeah, they might have made a few mistakes in preserving the scene. That sometimes happens when local officials allow a mob to take it over in less than an hour.
The UK is a train wreck. I’m actually surprised they gave her the job back instead of charging her with a crime.
This is shocking. And in a good way, for a change.
We should quarantine the whole country. And that virus is looking a little dangerous too.
Yeah, I’m thinking this is not the best plan. In fact, it’s the worst idea imaginable over there.
What a dumb idea. So of course it’s happening in Europe.
Here we go with this shit again. Netflix will be all over this. Expect a series out in the next year.
He’s so stunning and brave. What an amazing gift to a group of people who likely have no fucking idea who he is. Credit for the unique form of self-promotion though. I’m sure their initial curiosity will double the traffic to his site for a week or so.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! The sensationalism is killing me. It’ll be killing you as well when you look at the photos. I’d be ashamed if that was my “cache.” Pretty cool layout though. I’ll give him that.
I love this song. And much of the band’s catalog. This one too. One of the first songs I sent to Banjos in the olden days during late night commenting. I guess she does too, as she married me 14 years ago today. So they’re for her. But I hope you enjoy them as well.
And I hope you enjoy this lovely, cold Tuesday.
“Alex Vindman, who became a key player along with his twin brother in President Donald Trump’s first impeachment, announced on Tuesday that he is running for the U.S. Senate as a Democrat in Florida.”
But why?
The grift.
Yep, that money ain’t gonna make itself.
The grift?
He has a humiliation fetish.
He’s hoping for the huge manatee vote.
He’s locked up the blue haired whale vote.
Revoke and deport after serving a prison sentence for treason.
Those traitors need to be deported to Ukraine so they can play drone catch.
“Melle’s supporters, including British lawmaker Claire Coutinho, described the patient as a transgender-identifying “convicted pedophile.” The trust has not publicly confirmed details about the patient.”
Patient not pictured, sounds like someone lying to go to women’s prison.
whaddup doh’
It’s Banjos and my 14th anniversary!
Other than that, mostly just a bunch of dumb shit happening in the world.
Congrats!
Oh, and Schumacher getting out of bed. That’s pretty cool to see as well.
Congrats! Always amazed that your marriage is so happy that y’all can both put up with our wacky responses to your provided links. 😉
Two thumbs up, you sloppy Incan!
Congrats! 🙂
Congratulations, Ivory is the gift! Don’t let a silly law interfere!
Ivory is the gift! Don’t let a silly law interfere!
No ivory. I couldn’t find any. So she got a stuffed mouse dressed as Hamlet holding a skull. Which makes the Shakespeare story even better today in our house.
Am I crossing mental wires or did you find her a stuffed Bullwinkle recreating one of their shorts? And did she reciprocate with a flying squirrel?
You couldn’t get her a bar of Ivory soap?
Argh… stuffed mouse… not stuff moose… wow, that really was a set of crossed mental wires. I swear Bullwinkle did a Hamlet routine at some point though…
But now I’m wondering what the backstory for the Melancholy Mouse of Elsinore is….
Am I crossing mental wires or did you find her a stuffed Bullwinkle recreating one of their shorts?
That’s way too cool for me to have thought of, unfortunately. Your wires are crossed.
You couldn’t get her a bar of Ivory soap?
Bar soap? No.
But I could have tried to whittle one into a squirrel. So I have failed.
May you have many many more.
Congrats!
Like so?

“Hamas is seeking to incorporate its 10,000 police officers into a new US-backed Palestinian administration for Gaza, sources say on Tuesday, a demand likely to be opposed by Israel as the terror group debates whether to surrender its arms.”
Then raise the death toll another 10,000.
This. Disarming was part of the deal. Send all of those evil fucks to hell.
UK Nurse: Thank God for her she was the right color.
Yeah, the victim-status calculus must have broken a few brains on that one.
“Amsterdam has become the first capital city in the world to vote to ban the advertising of meat in public spaces, in a landmark move designed to support healthier diets and reduce climate emissions.”
Narrator: I didn’t do either.
“The ban is expected to apply to advertising for meat, air travel, cruises and petrol-powered cars in public spaces. Shopkeepers will still be permitted to advertise products on their own premises, meaning the restrictions will not affect posters displayed inside shops.”
How about everything made from oil?
Damn, now they can’t have their…what is it the Dutch are known for eating?
Stroopwaffels.
Gerookte paling.

Butter cookies? Or are they the almond windmill cookies?
I thought butter cookies were Danish, not Dutch.
“I thought butter cookies were Danish, not Dutch.”
They are. Also, Scottish, except they’re called shortbread.
Dutch cooking is good. Genever is good.
Language sounds like a Canadian version of German.
I always thought it sounds like a mix of English and German and with a mouthful of marbles.
Well, that too. Can also understand it.
Herring. Bitterballen. Dutch food is bland and unremarkable. They make a couple of dessert items, but otherwise, have a turnip or two.
Don’t even with their beer, stick to the Geneber and Advocaat.
Hagelslag (Buttered toast with sprinkles)
https://lovethenetherlands.com/hagelslag-the-dutch-treat-that-surprises-every-visitor/
Also there is plenty of flesh advertised in the red light district of Amsterdam.
Is Dutch smoked eel anything like unagi? They sound kind of similar…

If successful in their drive to outlaw healthy food (they won’t be): How to watch a population go from amongst the tallest in the world to the shortest is a few short generations.
This horseshit is the same as the tranny movement. Force people to do ridiculous things that make them suffer for the sake of making them do it.
OBEY.
Fuck you Amsterdam. You’ll sell pussy in shop windows but meat is bad? Suck it!
With respect to the gay male, and straight female Glibs, I’d much rather see ads for pussy than meat.
Those are a crossover advertising demographic.
Hopefully they don’t ban cheese advertising next. That would be edam shame.
Honestly with successful virus communicability versus obvious symptoms and modern air travel / global connectivity… I don’t think quarantine is going to be effective in practice (yes, I noted the joke… but just being serious for a minute). I wish we took the lesson from the COVID era (and the 1918 influenza) that riding it out and strengthening our immune systems are the only practicable approach for the long term… but there’s too much money in pitching constant “flu vaccines” and whatnot it seems. Yay.
And, in the case of 1918 flu, try to minimize iatrogenic harm by not liberally dispersing a new novel medical ‘treatment’ to address short term symptoms without knowledge of dosing or short to medium term harm, resulting in a significant number of deaths from aspirin poisoning.
This. Little known and never talked about.
Blew my mind when I learned both the spring connection to the death toll.
What was the novel treatment?
What was the novel treatment?
Aspirin. It had just been discovered around the turn of the century (synthesized/patented by Bayer in 1899, started widespread use in the early part of the century).
But there was little data on dosing. People who have looked at Drs treatment notes during the 1918 influenza pandemic find dosing – that is now known toxic and lethal – as a standard treatment level. At those high doses, aspirin can cause fluid build up in the lungs – not ideal for a respiratory virus. Many of the mortality reports cite fluid in the lungs – virus or aspirin? The symptomology of severe influenza vs aspirin toxicity significantly overlap. But aspirin toxicity might explain some of the unusual features of the pandemic including the high death rate among young otherwise healthy patients.
Obviously, we’ll probably never know the true extent – how many people who died would not have perished had it not been for the treatment – but it almost certainly contributed in a major fashion to the high mortality rates.
They could all be enrolled as “UN Peacekeepers” to boot… makes about as much sense.
French fries with mayo. And Gouda cheese.
That’s all I can think of.
Well this reply now makes no sense at all.
You can get a beer — a glass of beer — in a movie theater.
I just thought you agreed with me that fries with mayo is also one of the worst ideas imaginable. Not a strong cheese fan in general, so no real opinion on Gouda versus other cheeses (I’m really not fond of anything past a mild cheddar or colby jack).
And the French fries and Gouda won’t rape the locals like other UN “peacekeepers”.
That sounds like a really bad sequel to Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!, Ted.
Beemster XO is probably my favorite gouda. Probably not good with fries though.
Well, mayo is one of the sub-foods, so it should not be used as a condiment, and any cheese other than mild cheddar or jack is just rotten milk, so that crap is out, too.
My Brother moved to the Netherlands ’cause gestapo. He raves about the food.
The UN peacekeeper thing is actually pretty reasonable. They’ve already been coordinating with Hamas for years and they share buildings for weapons storage.
That is why it leaped directly to mind, yeah.
If so, I fully expect it will be a tale told by an idiot.
Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing?

Indeed, this one doesn’t even have a PhD, so how this passes for academic rigor is a bigger mystery than the one allegedly being solved.

Alabama basketball gets into legal situations
More the NCAA than U of Alabama. Dumbshits haven’t learned not to listen to con men (agents) – maybe they don’t belong in college at all.

Perhaps there’s a hint of a conflict of interest there.
“Ms Coslet’s thesis, released by Pen and Sword books, echoes this scepticism, stating: “Historians have not managed to explain how the Stratford man, a semi-illiterate moneylender, managed to gain such a level of erudition.”
It claims that scholars have been “unable to explain why” Shakespeare was able to incorporate influences of various cultures in his work, as a humble man from Warwickshire.
On the other hand, the book argues, the Jewish and multi-racial Bassano embodied a “diverse identity” that would give her the necessary expertise.”

Ehh. You really can’t run more than one pistol and one long gun at a time. And it’s good to have some spares. But beyond that, most huge gun ‘collections’ are just acquiring for the sake of having.

” no kid is interested in hearing him. ”
Bullshit. It’s those kind of blanket statements that make people ignore any real argument one might have.
His real money today comes from his stake in Lionel trains.

It’ll be killing you as well when you look at the photos. I’d be ashamed if that was my “cache.”

She’s an idiot, but arresting her for that is getting positively UKian.
If she got arrested for just that comment, there should be 100,000 arrest warrants active for the same thing right now. There has to be more to the story.
She’s just big boned.
There are just not enough Tres out there to keep these women occupied.
Id have to pass on that one. She’s aesthetically challenged.
I only bang cute fat girls.
She’s big boned, not fat. Also, where Trey at?

I have determined that I am both big-boned and fat.

“But the brand launch isn’t without controversy. Just days before the debut, Sweeney was filmed scaling the iconic Hollywood sign and draping bras from its letters — a guerrilla marketing stunt that may land her in legal hot water.
TMZ reports she obtained a permit to film near the landmark but had no authorization to climb or touch the sign itself, potentially exposing her to criminal trespass or vandalism charges.”

IANAL, but couldn’t she just expose her breasts to the jury?

To be fair, I’d be smashing my racquet if I lost in under an hour.
Yup.
The bit about the big stars wanting to control their “image”… ugh. You are very handsomely rewarded for your efforts and you are treated like royalty already.
Deal with it.
If it wasn’t for my boating accident, I’d probably be close to that many guns. As far as ammo goes, I keep firing mine, so can’t seem to quite ever get to 1,000 per gun. Either way, sounds scary. Also, the villain vest is a nice touch.
This is true. Ammo consumed is much better than ammo stockpiled.
I can’t bring myself to shoot it.
I do plan on using up a bunch of 22lr with the boy this spring and summer though.
How else you gonna git gud?
Think of it this way – when the boog kicks off, most of us will probably be dead in the first engagement, so keeping a stockpile larger than a basic infantry loadout is being unreasonably optimistic about the future.
Being a gimp I realize I’m going to starve within the first couple of months if anything hits the fan.
I want the kiddos to at least have some trading stock.
My unit limited us to 210 rounds out the gate.
Bare minimum allowable by the army for leaving the fob. I packed a couple extra mags I had found under a seat in some random truck. Risked an article 15 for that but seeing how much ammo was expended in the only engagement I was involved in had I needed to use it it would have been nearly expended in that 15 minutes.
I’m planning on being a lord of war. I’ll have people.
“When Gavin Newsom launched CARE Court with great fanfare, he promised help for people with severe mental illness who go back and forth between homelessness, jail, and emergency rooms.
The California Governor boasted that CARE Court would be a ‘completely new paradigm’ that would compassionately force people’s mentally ill loved ones off the streets and into treatment via a judge’s order – and estimated that up to 12,000 people could be helped.
A State Assembly analysis said up to 50,000 people might be eligible.
However after spending $236 million in taxpayer dollars on CARE Court since the March 2022 announcement, the Daily Mail can reveal that the program has flopped, with some critics even saying it’s fraud.
Only 22 people have been court-ordered into treatment so far.”

Paging Dr. Chet….
Bureaucrats were paid. Virtues signaled. A win-win.
Yep… I’m sure that money was properly funneled to cronies and “NGOs” in proper California fashion.
But remember — just like adding illegals to MediCal, the bullet train, the billions for the homeless, etc…. this sort of thing is just part of the price of civilization in the Golden State and why spending can’t possibly be ramped down… rather, stealing 5 percent of the assets of the “wealthy” (soon to be bracketed down once that camel has a nose in) is just tragically unavoidable.

“Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.”― Theodore Dalrymple
Pay special attention to – “….the less it corresponded to reality the better.”
The purpose of course being the attempt to force you to repeat the lie. FUCK THEM WITH A RUSTY CHAINSAW.

The details from that incident came out and it’s pretty bad. The kids were in a different room, and they prevented parents from getting to them. In one case one of them told a kid their parents deserved to die or something. Just swap the races in that story and it would be bigger than George Floyd.

“Oh, so how did you meet them all?” “I’ve met a couple, and that’s it. Others I know only by their handle.”

Imperial judiciary
Minnesota’s chief federal judge has ordered the head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Todd Lyons, to appear in his courtroom Friday and threatened to hold him in contempt for what he says has been repeated defiance of judges’ orders in the state.
“The court’s patience is at an end,” U.S. District Judge Patrick Schiltz said in a three-page order issued Monday night, demanding the acting director explain himself “personally.”
Schiltz’s frustration has been boiling for weeks amid Operation Metro Surge, the Trump administration’s massive immigration enforcement action in the Twin Cities. The operation has flooded the courts with emergency lawsuits brought by immigrants who say they have been illegally arrested or detained. The judges in the district have agreed nearly every time, ordering their immediate release from custody and warning, in increasingly alarming terms, about rampant violations of the law.
How dare they?
Schiltz, a George W. Bush appointee, said the administration has been slow-walking or outright defying the directives of many Minnesota judges, including at least one of his own: The order for Lyons to appear came in the case of a man Schiltz ordered released on Jan. 15 but who remained detained as of Monday night.
Don;t those thugs know the power of the Bench is absolute and unquestionable?
Make Titty Tuesday great again!

The fascists repent
On Monday morning, I was at a restaurant counter finishing my breakfast when a middle-aged man sat down next to me and said he didn’t want to intrude. (He just had, so I put down my knife and fork, wiped my mouth with my napkin, and turned toward him.) He wanted me to know that although he’d been a life-long Republican, the events of the past weeks had caused him to leave the Republican party.
“I’m happy to hear that,” I said with a smile, and turned to finish my breakfast.
“I’m from New Hampshire and many of my Republican friends are leaving the party, too,” he said. “Minneapolis was the last straw.”
The nation awakens from its long nightmare.
How sad. He spent his whole life living a lie. He should put on the rainbow panties and express his true self ASAP.
I call bullshit.
That too, nobody sits down and says that. Not even rainbow dems.
That’s funny, because I know plenty of Republicans who keep saying “this is what I voted for”, or even “he’s not going far enough”.
I’m still in the “MOAR” camp.
I’m
With USC.
He’s barley gotten started and keeps getting distracted with foreign bullshit that doesn’t matter.
“I just want you to know that because ICE has been mean to people trying to impede them from their lawful duties that I’ve decided that communism is actually awesome.”
Oh, you saw this piece too?
Glad that imaginary jerk won’t be voting in any more R party primaries.
Thanks for the story from the world of things that never happened.
He had finally learned to love Big Brother.
“And everyone clapped.”
“But what really finished me were the lies – Noem. Miller, Bovino, Vance, Trump.” He frowned. “They lied through their teeth. I saw the videos! Can’t trust them ever again. None of them. Pack of liars.”
I’ve always said what we need are honest politicians.
I was sitting at a restaurant counter the other day and a witch doctor came up to me and said Bing bang walla walla bing bang. The claim makes it true.
Also, sure buddy…
I will take things that never happened for $1000, Alex.
” I am a XXXXXX but even I think….”
Sure cupcake.
They never, ever argue in good faith about anything. No matter the problem the solution is always the same.
Points for consistency?
But there’s a second way to see what’s happened in Minnesota – a tipping point of a different kind. The fellow from New Hampshire who sat next to me at breakfast typifies it.
It’s a tipping point toward mass revulsion over Trump and the people around him.
To be sure, the Republican party in America has been in a death spiral since Trump emerged in 2016; it’s held together chiefly by Trump’s lies.
But his latest lies – and those of his surrounding sycophants – are so blatant and disgusting that some, like my breakfast companion, are abandoning the GOP altogether.
It’s also a tipping point toward Americans coming together to defeat Trump’s fascism. Coming together as they’ve come together in Minneapolis – across race, class and ethnicity.
Cue the chorus of angels. Redemption is at hand. Embrace your socialist destiny, America.
LOL what color is the sky in that fantasyland?
As long as the race is white and the class is privileged.
Wow, that is some crazy-ass projection.
Make up story>weave narrative around it>get The Guardian to pay you for confirming their readers’ bias
Nice gig if you can get it.
America may be tipping into that police state, nonetheless.
But we’re also tipping into unity against it. We’re moving into a solidarity that could give new meaning to the ideal of self-government – a system of, by, and for the people.
Financed, of course, by plundering the wealthy.
Well get Tolstoy to write the script.
Dear Woke Nut Case:
We started down the path to a police state on 9/12/01. Both sides of the aisle have embraced it fully. You’re just pissed because you don’t have the reins in your hands at the moment.
Go fuck yourself.
Sincerely, kinnath
Abraham Lincoln has entered the chat.
nobody sits down and says that. Not even rainbow dems.
He should have cast that part as a long haired seven year old boy in a dress.
Alex Vindman, who became a key player along with his twin brother in President Donald Trump’s first impeachment, announced on Tuesday that he is running for the U.S. Senate as a Democrat in Florida.
If you think the Democrats have a thin bench nationally, it’s nothing compared to the dearth of talent they have in Florida.
This is not a recent phenomenon, either. Back in the 90s, they ran Hugh Rodham for the U.S. Senate, simply because he was Hillary’s brother and thus received her political ambition and penchant for marrying well by virtue of consanguinuity or something.
Even in a reflexive anti-OMB year, Moody will curb-stomp him.
Coup de grace
CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss has scheduled an all-staff meeting for late Tuesday morning at which she intends to announce the strategic path she wants the troubled news division to take.
Weiss is planning to tell her newsroom Tuesday that she intends to hire approximately 18 paid commentators and that she only wants top-flight performers committed to her approach to stick around.
Weiss is also expected to make significant cuts to the newsroom.
The details above are affirmed by three people inside CBS News with direct knowledge of the broad strokes of her plans. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about internal network matters.
——-
In her brief tenure, Weiss has alienated much of the staff of 60 Minutes, the crown jewel of the news division, sought to reinvent the CBS Evening News, and questioned whether her own journalists have been fair or worthy of Americans’ trust in the past.
Walter Cronkite must be spinning in his grave.
Soon CBS will be nothing more than Donald Trump’s propaganda mouthpiece.
If only they were as honest and unbiased as NPR writers.
“the shooting of a mother of three by scarcely-trained government officials”
They keep saying this. Either they are lying or never read his resume.
I’m not sure why “mother of 3” is any more relevant than “mother of 3, lost custody of 2”.
Increases prog tears by 66%.
Never you mind that she tried to run him over. Just out of the blue it was.
“There she was, just minding her own business, dropping her child off at school…”
The “scarcely trained” comments might need scrutiny and could be part of a lawsuit from the agent.
The commies think this helps them with the normies.
Weiss has expressed exuberance about the task she confronts at the third-place news division and an eagerness to learn about broadcast news. She has said she wants to appeal to centrist Americans on the right and left.
AKA Nazis.
Anything to the right of Stalin is a Nazi. Which should be left, geographically.
