Friday Morning Links

Mat Stafford won the NFL MVP award in a close one and will come back next year. Miles Garrett won DPOY and JSN won OPOY. Skubal won arbitration and will get a boatload of money. Trump cuts off WADA funding after the organization appears to have climbed in bed with red China. I suppose this is sports news. It’s also unsurprising. And the olympics have started even though the opening ceremonies are today. That’s it for sports.

Wait, they weren’t all vaccinated before they came here? Great job vetting people, Feds. Also, this blows a bit of a hole in the theory that RFK and Trump are the cause of the measles coming back. But that story isn’t worth reporting on, I suppose.

I think this guy may have been undercharged. Hopefully that gets corrected.

No shit, Sherlock. And the politicians and media outlets will all call them selfish assholes for not willingly being robbed blind.

This is interesting. It’s a shame the same hasn’t happened at the failing auto companies, like Ford, GM, and Stellantis.

Maybe they got beamed up. Nothing in the world would surprise me at this point.

This is a wild decision. I assume it will get quickly appealed.

Suck it, rest of the world. Hopefully we’re done underwriting your bullshit.

I’m really confused with the charges here. He was live-streaming it and also published it on multiple outlets. Doesn’t that mean he was just doing journalism? I eagerly await his defense by the major media outlets.

Fuck you, boomers. We don’t care about your gay shit anymore. (With apologies for the normie boomers who are here.)

This is pretty cool. Hopefully we can do more of this with more leaders who embrace free markets.

Art school nerds. They do have their place in this world. And it’s here with us nerds. Enjoy them both.

And enjoy this lovely Friday and Super Bowl weekend, dear friends.

    Also, this blows a bit of a hole in the theory that RFK and Trump are the cause of the measles coming back.

    The article seems to be blaming Hitler for vaccine “disinformation” and/or “fear of the Gestapo” – it’s so poorly written it’s not easy to pin down WTF they’re going on about.

    • Common Tater

      If you look at who was getting measles and whooping cough, it was in very blue areas due to hippy types.

    • (((Jarflax

      Bad thing happened there fore Trump caused it.

      QED

      • (((Jarflax

        I wish either my brain would become as illiterate as my fingers or my fingers would become as literate as my brain. At this point I don’t really care which as long as I stop having to cringe every time I read what I post.

      • Ted S.

        It’s OK; the rest of us are used to cringing when we read what to post. :-p

      • Not Adahn

        Bad thing happened there, for Trump caused it.

    • Common Tater

      “Imam Yusuf Abdulle said immigration enforcement has put everything on hold.

      “People are stuck in their homes, cannot go to work,” he said. “It is madness. And the last thing to think about is talking about autism, talking about childhood vaccination. Adults cannot get out of the house, forget about kids.””

      Why is that?

      • AlexinCT

        How dare Americans demand their government enforce immigration and elect someone that does that!

      • rhywun

        Because stormtroopers are going door-to-door and snatching Americans from their homes.

      • R C Dean

        I bet they can leave their homes long enough to catch a flight back to wherever they are supposed to be.

      • J. Frank Parnell

        “People are stuck in their homes, cannot go to work,” he said. “It is madness. And the last thing to think about is talking about autism, talking about childhood vaccination. Adults cannot get out of the house, forget about kids.””

        And then he slapped his head and said “Damn it! I should have thought of that when I was trying to explain why there’s no kids at any of the daycares.”

      • Gustave Lytton

        Why would they be afraid if they’re here legally as lawful refugees? And what kind of third world culture can ignore their own children when they supposedly stuck in the same house?

    • Common Tater

      “The idea that the MMR shot should be split into three vaccines — one backed, with no scientific basis, by acting Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Jim O’Neill, though no standalone shots are available in the U.S. — has spread, too.”

      So it only works in other countries?

      • UnCivilServant

        What was the rationale for lumping them into a single syringe in the first place?

      • Chipping Pioneer

        The idea that the MMR shot should be combined has no scientific basis.

        Two can play than stupid game.

      • Not Adahn

        Fewer shots, fewer Dr’s appointments, fewer screaming babies.

      • ZWAK, doktor of BRAIN SCIENCE!

        Fewer shots means less money for the Dr’s, drug companies, etc.

      • rhywun

        Fewer shots

        I just had three in each arm for the second time in two months. Most are painless but two are quite painful. I can’t imagine the torture that is on babies.

    • Tonio

      Blaming Somalis for their own misfortunes is clearly racist.

    “The conflict stems from the revelation that 23 Chinese swimmers had tested positive for a banned substance in 2021 but had not been punished after WADA accepted Chinese officials’ explanation that the swimmers had eaten tainted food.”

    Was it from a wet market?

    • UnCivilServant

      “China is banned from all future events due to insufficient controls on their food to prevent doping athletes.”

    • (((Jarflax

      Somehow all the Chinese athlete’s food keeps getting covered in gear, it’s the strangest thing.

    • AlexinCT

      The conflict stems from the revelation that 23 Chinese swimmers had tested positive for a banned substance in 2021

      Wait, so penises are now banned substances?

    • SDF-7

      … once I swam for you …. now I swim from you… this tainted food you gave me, it made me so I can’t have a baby…. just bumped up my testosterone baby ooohhhh… tainted food! (Oooh, tainted food!)

    • rhywun

      Speaking of sketchy behavior… not sure if this was covered but it amused the hell out of me.

      Speculation runs rampant after tennis star Ugo Humbert stops match to check phone in wild scene

      “checking your phone in the middle of a match is obviously banned” lol No kidding

  3. rhywun

    This is a wild decision.

    I dunno, the left is probably wildly celebrating this given how much they hate that industry. There are probably enough activist judges happy to go along until it hits the Supreme Court.

  4. Not Adahn

    I remember hoping that Trump 45 would lead to some good angry pop music, based on Thatcher/Reagan.

    Alas.

    • UnCivilServant

      Why would you think that artists who have thusfar made crap would suddenly gain competence?

      It’s not like the industry would be looking for competence, they have a message to promote.

      • Not Adahn

        Artistic inspiration! The Muse!

      • UnCivilServant

        That would require an artist, not lipsynching to autotuned slop.

    • Ted S.

      The protest songs are being written by rich men north of Richmond.

    • R C Dean

      Am I the only one who thinks that “protest songs” have absolutely no impact whatsoever on the actual course of events in the real world?

    • The Other Kevin

      Billy Idol put out a song about “the current times” and it was terrible.

      This is akin to why TV and movie writers aren’t good anymore. The previous generation of old white guys lived through wars and the depression, so they had real life adversity to draw from. “Being misgendered” or “Trump is a fascist” aren’t quite the same thing.

    “The indictment and a news release by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Houston didn’t detail a motive for Bynon’s alleged actions. Angela Dodge, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office declined to comment.”

  7. Not Adahn

    The group of six who went missing had been exhibiting strange behavior before their disappearance, including hanging out on the roof naked, neighbors said.

    Such uptight neighbors.

    • Tonio

      What struck me is that they’ve been missing since 2024. You’d think that the cops and press would have taken an interest in this much earlier, particularly since there are missing children.

      • Ted S.

        Do any of them have a kid who works for a major media outlet?

      • Common Tater

        I too am tired hearing about Savannah Guthrie’s mom.

      • Threedoor

        Yesterday is the first time I had heard the name Savana Guthrie.

      “Over three weeks, jurors weighed the harrowing personal account of Ms. Dean as well as testimony from Uber executives and thousands of pages of internal company documents, including some showing that Uber had flagged her ride as a higher risk for a serious safety incident moments before she was picked up. Uber never warned her, with an executive testifying that it would have been “impractical” to do so.”

      Warned her about what exactly?

      • Tonio

        Damned if they do, damned if they don’t. Don’t keep stats on that? Negligence, needs more regulation and oversight. Keep stats and fire sketchy drivers? Discrimination or something, needs more regulation and oversight.

      • Common Tater

        “serious safety incident” is very vague language. Are they lumping assaults and accidents together?

    • Common Tater

      “She reported the incident to the police and to Uber, which barred him. The driver did not face criminal charges and was not named in the suit.”

      Why wasn’t he charged?

      • Ted S.

        Shallow pockets?

    • Common Tater

      “From 2017 to 2022, a total of 400,181 Uber trips resulted in reports of sexual assault and sexual misconduct in the United States, court documents show. Previously, the company had disclosed 12,522 accounts of serious sexual assaults for that same time period, without indicating the total number of sexual assault and sexual misconduct reports it received….

      Ms. Nilles said that about 75 percent of the 400,181 reports were “less serious,” such as making comments about someone’s appearance, flirting or using explicit language. She added that the reports had not been audited by the company and could include incorrect or fraudulent reports submitted by people trying to get a refund.”

      So what are they calling sexual assault?

      • trshmnstr

        Ah, the good old rape apologists at the NYT, blending unwanted comments with rape to make rape seem less serious.

      • (((Jarflax

        Man, I thought I had never committed a sexual assault in my life, I wish someone had taught me not to rape women by telling them they looked lovely! I didn’t realize that compliments were rapes. If it makes it any better an awful lot of the compliments were insincere, literally all of those clothes made you ladies look fat, and all the new haircuts looked stupid. I was just trying to be nice.

      • Stinky Wizzleteats

        Complementing a woman’s dress and holding her down while forcibly inserting one’s penis ain’t even in the same fucking ballpark.

      • ron73440

        Complementing a woman’s dress and holding her down while forcibly inserting one’s penis ain’t even in the same fucking ballpark.

        If it doesn’t complement the dress, does the penis complement the shoes?

    ‘There’s no footprint whatsoever, no current digital footprint,”’

    Runge described the cult’s beliefs as ‘very off the grid stuff,’

    Now, I’m no detective but there might be a connection here.

  10. SDF-7

    Weird that even Fox Business repeats the SEIU claim repeatedly that the “one time” wealth tax is to prop up a “healthcare system that will collapse”… but doesn’t mention the multi-billion dollar budget deficit tied to said collapse that is directly due to HairGel opening up MediCal to illegals. If I hadn’t already gotten out of the state, I’d one hundred percent be saying “Repeal that before you come trying to steal one penny more”.

    Granted, I’m saying it anyway and likely would in general.

    • Common Tater

      Don’t forget the billions spent on homeless and high speed rail that did nothing.

    Practically all the anti Trump drivel coming from the globalist elite and their serfs, no matter how presented or argued, comes down t the fact that Trump has ended the massive fraud of US tax payer money by these tools. For decades these crooks have been living large on US tax payer lucre, while looking and talking down to the Americans subsidizing their socialist paradises. Now that they are losing out on this shit, and more importantly, face the reality that they can have their welfare states OR have defense, they are furious. These were not allies. Let alone friends. These were crazy side chicks that now want to ruin the guy who realize they were taking advantage of him for stopping the gravy train. Bitching.

    • SDF-7

      Trump has ended the massive fraud of US tax payer money

      It isn’t often I get to say this to you Alex — but I think you’re being overly optimistic here. He’s trying, and he may have put a dent in it… but I strongly suspect there are still back spigots of US taxpayer cash piped into these cesspools which haven’t been found or would need Congress to act to cut off (and we know how likely that is).

      • AlexinCT

        I was specifically talking about Trump telling them US defense was no longer a given, and unless they were spending more than the agreed upon 2% of GDP, it was a guaranteed no. You have no idea how much the US defense spending is subsidizing defending these losers in Europe. Now we can recoup the money being pissed away defending these ingrates to defend ourselves and our real partners against the CCP peril.

    • Suthenboy

      “…comes down t the fact that Trump has ended the massive fraud of US tax payer money by these tools. ”

      Trying to end. Outside that you are 100% correct about their motives. They are throwing a tantrum because they are being told they have to make their bed, clean their room and stop spending all of their time eating junk food and playing video games.
      I have less than zero sympathy for them.

      • AlexinCT

        As I pointed out above, I am specifically talking about their defense spending. While I love the tariffs, and think these crooks deserve it and more, my focus is on the fact that almost 1/3 of our defense spending happens to protect the ungrateful asshats in the EU which then make fun about how much better they are because they have massive welfare states and think their healthcare is free.

    “Where are all the protest songs? — does have an answer, beyond the occasional sing-along on Neil Young’s “Rockin’ in the Free World,” it’s actually rare for the outcries of the people to be channeled through a pop song, or in a pop setting.

    Resistance and dissent through music historically take place much closer to the ground, emanating from the very spaces where people are putting their bodies on the line.”

    Protest songs are counter-culture. You can’t “resistance and dissent” when almost the entire entertainment business, the mainstream media, the establishment, the culture, takes the same position as you.

    • creech

      Haven’t thought about protest songs in ages. I remember now how, back in the day, we young right wingers had alternate words for many of them. For example (1964): “The answer my friends is blowing in the Y, Jenkins is blowing in the Y.”

    “Enraged spandex-clad customers at a Minneapolis CorePower Yoga studio berated staffers for being “complicit” in the federal immigration crackdown during a caught-on-camera clash last weekend — demanding that they immediately condemn ICE.

    Video of the clash posted to social media by Heather Anderson, who claims to have been a regular at the location for nearly a decade, shows at least 13 women “spontaneously” facing off against two female staffers inside of the studio’s lobby after a Sunday class let out.

    In response to the incident, the Denver-based yoga chain banned Anderson — but otherwise caved to the mob and is putting up anti-ICE signs in its studios.”

When queried why, they smugly told me because these minorities, and especially all the black people, were not smart enough to get IDs in a world where you need a bank account or a debit/credit card, to own anything from a cell phone to renting/buying a home to vote. I have heard proggies throw tirades against minorities for not doing what the proggies wanted that would short circuit a sailor’s dirty mind. And they will – in private – always tell you that these minorities are ungrateful if they leave the dnc plantation every time…

      They know they are racist, but they also believe nobody will call them on it.

    “What started out as righteousness ended in scandal, and Time’s Up was forced to cease operating in 2023 after it was revealed that the organization had advised former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo how to counter sexual harassment allegations against him.

    But the power grab appears to have been even more craven than previously known. Documents in the Epstein Files suggest that Time’s Up leaders may have been actively engaging with Jeffrey Epstein’s inner circle in a bid to launder his disgraced image.”

    “The Spokane City Council is weighing a proposal that would create “immigration enforcement free zones” on city property, a move supporters say is meant to limit how federal immigration agents can use Spokane facilities for civil immigration operations….

Under his definition, “city property” would include “any real or personal property, land, building, facility, structure, equipment, or space owned, leased, operated, or controlled by the city.” The proposal’s description indicates it would include homeless shelters, transit facilities, public parks, and other city-controlled properties.”

    Slave revolt

    California is facing the prospect of massive teacher strikes across the state as conflicts over working conditions, pay and special education staffing reach a boiling point.

    The strikes, which could begin as soon as next week, have been approved by thousands of educators – affecting schools in some of the state’s largest districts including San Francisco, San Diego and Los Angeles.

    In San Francisco, 97.6% of teachers voted in favor of a strike, setting the stage for the first such action in the city in nearly 50 years. Teachers in Los Angeles, where the LA unified school district is considering layoffs to address its budget woes, authorized their union to move ahead with a strike. Meanwhile, San Diego educators are preparing for their first walkout in 30 years, while five unions around Sacramento have said they are ready to strike if necessary.

    It’s a wonder they don’t all quit and go to work at Taco Bell.

    • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

      We have a friend who works for the local school district. She says they aren’t allowed to discipline the kids, and because if they do the parents complain and threaten to sue. California also places “special needs” kids in regular classrooms which sucks up an inordinate amount of time and attention from the teacher. Obstinate kids know there’s nothing the teacher can do, which ends up spreading to the other kids in class. So I have some sympathy for the complaint about working conditions. And all the while the superintendent makes over $300K per year plus benefits and has a large staff pulling down big salaries too. There’s a lot of crappy teachers, but there’s a lot of crappy administrators and parents too.

    “They’ve been talking a big game for the last 24 hours, that they want the American people to see, they want the American people to learn the truth and all that,” Comer said. “Well, if the truth is you can’t answer the questions, you plead the Fifth, then I think that’s gonna be a mark that bans them from social gatherings and everything else, because most liberals in America are very concerned about getting the truth of Epstein.”

    The Clintons have repeatedly denied any knowledge of Epstein’s crimes, and no victim of the convicted sex offender has publicly accused the former first couple of wrongdoing.

    What difference, at this point, does it make?

    Cato is on a bender to show unlimited immigration is good akchually and their methodology is oft dishonest but very amusing. the now push a study that immigration reduced budget deficit. In the how column, a good contribution is as follows: immigration pushed up the cost of real-estate, so natives paid more in property tax and thus the government got more money and so the immigrants are a net positive for the government budget 🙂 lol. lmfao even.

    Common sense triumphs

    Virginia House Democrats on Thursday muscled through a sweeping package of gun control legislation, passing more than half a dozen bills aimed at restricting access to certain firearms, tightening storage requirements and expanding civil liability for the gun industry, as Republicans — reduced to an even smaller minority after November’s elections — spoke forcefully in opposition but were ultimately unable to stop the measures.

    The proposals, which are now headed to the Senate, ranged from a ban on the sale of assault-style weapons and large-capacity magazines to new penalties for leaving visible handguns in unattended vehicles and requirements that firearms be locked in homes where children are present.

    Several of the votes, including passage of a high-profile assault weapons ban, were greeted with applause from spectators in the House gallery.
