I think the US men are about to start hockey. Which is when I’ll start tuning in with actual interest. I haven’t seen much of the Winter Olympics otherwise, aside from the doubles men’s luge, which I find somewhat distasteful. Checking in across the pond, I guess the British really are in a world of shit. The PM needs to start looking for a new job and might want to listen to the billionaire soccer team (partial) owner, because that’s the prevailing opinion in the UK right now. And ignoring it or shaming it is not exactly the smartest move. Also, Liverpool won, albeit in less than spectacular fashion. So did Man Shitty and Villa closer to the top of the table. And that’s it for sports.
Has one of them said “we ain’t found shit” yet? This is the only time I’m mentioning this saga and it’s only because of the movie quote tie in.
I’ll give you three guesses who probably stole it. And once they figure it out they’ll either not publish the name of the illegal immigrant or they’ll write a sob story that he’s just as much of a victim as this poor guy.
Under what authority are these judges acting? They’re out of their lane and the Supreme Court needs to end this nonsense once and for all.
Sometimes I wonder if democracy is such a good idea. Retards electing retards is no way to run things.
Get this weepy douchebag off my computer screen. I feel bad for these parents and their losses. But they’re parents and they needed to take control of their kids.”Social media killed my kids” is ridiculous. But parental or personal responsibility seems to have gone the way of the dodo.
Uh, I’ve got a few guesses. Regulation, compliance, and decades of letting companies charge our patients a lot more than they charged the rest of the world. And also the quality and speed with which people get care is often much better than that of our socialized counterparts.
Did they short-dick any cannibals? Yes, I know that’s my second movie quote reference today. But they’re worth it for the nostalgia.
He died doing what he loved. And that’s the fucking problem. Well, that and the Welsh turning the funeral procession into a gigantic parade. Well, a parade would have been fine, so long as it involved the hurling of rotten produce at the hearse. Alas, it did not.
This is nasty work. Imagine the reaction a prominent publication would receive if one of their celebrated writers said “I loved where I’m from but I sure hate the fact that a bunch of blacks and browns had moved in and ruined it.” I doubt it would have been received with much fanfare.
What the fucking fuck is this shit? There’s no way on God’s green earth that this is constitutional. The best part of the piece:
The temporary freeze will prohibit many of the city’s landlords from raising a tenant’s base rent this year for rent paid as of Dec. 16, 2025. It exempts many types of rental units, including Section 8 housing, housing built after 1995, single-family homes, some condominiums and government housing.
So they’re exempting themselves and their cronies who run public housing units for them. Unfuckingbelievable. Somebody needs to challenge this shit right away.
Here you go. Such a fun song. And this one is equally good. Enjoy them both.
And enjoy this lovely Thursday, dear friends.
“doubles men’s luge”
gay?
Super-gay.
We need mixed doubles luge.
Orgy gay?
Your problem is that you assume that the “gal” will be the one riding on top of the luge.
Today you are more likely to have some twink riding on top of Lia Thomas in the mixed doubles luge.
Is there doubles skeleton?
“The Prime Minister posted on X: “Offensive and wrong. Britain is a proud, tolerant and diverse country. Jim Ratcliffe should apologise.”
Two out of three is the problem.
They’ll be demanding the forced sale of his share of the team pretty soon. Mark my words.
They cannot stop building the house of cards at this point. Their government is already teetering on the brink of collapse and an absolute rout in the snap election that would follow it. They will go after this guy big time and vilify him leaving the country for Monaco and not p[aying his “fair share” and all the other bullshit they used as class warfare to get elected. Meanwhile, a large majority of their citizenry will be nodding in agreement with him, albeit after ensuring no police are around to see them do it, since they could probably make it a criminal offense if they wanted to.
The UK is run by people that read Orwell and other dystopian books and saw that work as “How to” manuals…
You really think enough Labour MPs would call for a dissolution of the House of Commons when they know they’d get their asses kicked in the general election?
You really think enough Labour MPs would call for a dissolution of the House of Commons
We’re starting to get there. Didn’t a couple Scottish Labour pols resign or leave the party earlier this week and say that it’s time for a no-confidence vote?
So they have a leadership vote and a different Labour MP becomes Prime Minister. Is the new guy going to call a snap election?
That is my sense as well, and no amount of gaslighting from “Muslim supporter groups” or ESPN writers is going to convince me otherwise.
The partial owner should tell the PM to kindly eat shit. If anything it would be a nice test of just how committed the country is to the “free speech” they claim to have (but don’t).
“This is the only time I’m mentioning this saga and it’s only because of the movie quote tie in.”
It’s a distraction from something. Flipping through channels, it looked like the Pam Bondi hearings were mostly covered by left-leaning. I’m guessing Fox et al thought the Epstein “survivor” theatrics made the administration look bad?
“The couple tried contacting Uber but said reaching a live representative was nearly impossible. They were eventually able to communicate through the Uber app and were told the issue had been escalated to the appropriate support team.”
Unfortunately too typical these days.
There’s a support team for Uber drivers who engage in identity theft?
The Tier 1 support that took the information from the application realized that they didn’t have anything in their book of flow charts pertaining to 1099s. They sent the information to their “escalations” support team.
Problem solved!
That actually wouldn’t surprise me. Likely called “fraud and validation” or the like.

That quote about 6 wolves and 5 sheep deciding what’s for dinner is absolutely the best analogy about democracy.
There’s a lot of misunderstanding about the wolf-sheep analogy. One wolf, 2-3-4 sheep, it always ends the same.
You are now factoring in democrat election rigging tactics to get closer to reality, huh?
More like one or two wolves convincing five or six sheep that the only “target” will be the fattest sheep.

Two U.S. Navy Ships Collide in Waters Near South America

CDR Salamander has a bit of a clip from USNS Supply on his substack – looks like a Venturi Effect issue (particularly if there was a second ship on the other side of Supply). Can’t really see any damage but the video is really low quality. You train for emergency breakaways during Underway Replenishments (UNREPS) all the time – but this is the first time I’ve seen something like this in a long time. Bad luck for Truxtun since she already had mechanical issues the first week of her deployment…..possibly this could have been the result of an engineering casualty (stuck rudder or something else…guess we’ll find out eventually).
At sea replenishments are dangerous business. I am far more surprised that accidents and casualties don’t happen far more frequently. A lot of that replenishment happens in serious sea states which make the operation even more fraught with risk. But this capability is critical to having the ability to keep hard assets at sea longer and thus, more effectively.

FB has required all new accounts to include pictures of the front and back of your drivers license for at least the last year.
I’m sure they will retcon it and make everyone do it. They tried it on me when they decided my account was fake.
Those images of licenses become a treasure chest of data for identity thieves. There’s been several breaches along those lines already, I want to say Discord was one of them.

If that was too much of a challenge, here is a poll conducted by the local paper that is run by an ex-staffer of King Walz so you know it is 100% fact based and neutral.
“FACT: Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison announced charges against a defendant using a home health agency to commit fraud.”
Well QED, a defendant was charged. Big whoop. How many potential defendants weren’t charged because of political considerations?
The message being sent – we didn’t get our cut.
I still want to know how much Walz and Ellison got. What was their cut?
Be careful making this about just money taken by these perps directly. The biggest win for democrats was vote rigging and campaign financing benefits from the kickbacks.

“The body of Megan Bos was discovered in April 2025 by officers with the Waukegan Police Department. The 37-year-old, who was reported missing a month earlier, was found in a container in a backyard belonging to Luis Mendoza-Gonzalez, a Mexican citizen, DHS said…
Mendoza left her body in the basement for days before throwing it away in a garbage can in his yard, eventually pouring bleach on her corpse and leaving her there for nearly two months, DHS said.
Mendoza was charged with concealing the body, abusing a corpse, two counts of concealing the death of a person and obstructing justice, all felonies, but none were detainable offenses under Illinois sanctuary laws, DHS said.
After a court hearing, Lake County Judge Randie Bruno released Mendoza from custody. He was eventually arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in Chicago on July 19, 2025.”
https://www.foxnews.com/us/dhs-honors-illinois-woman-corpse-allegedly-abused-illegal-immigrant-freed-sanctuary-laws
IANAL, but there has to be some way to get rid of these sanctuary laws. I’d say withhold all federal funding for local police, but these are the same pro-crime assholes who want to defund the police.
Put up a NOTAM for Chicago.
Accomplice after the fact? Admittedly, you’d need a different judge willing to accept your writ of mandamus, but that would be entertaining.
Hanging every person that votes for, implements, enforces, or even voices support for sanctuary for scum like this would probably work.
How about making some arrests. You cant have state or local laws that exempt yourself from Fed law.
Ok, you can claim your local or state LEO’s are not required to enforce fed law but the courts cannot hold sanctuary bullshit (it does not rise to the level of law) above fed law and release people from custody. In fact even the federal district courts do not have jurisdiction over immigration cases.

Interesting . . . .
I see language on establishing the original DC, but nothing empowering Congress to give it back. Or prohibiting Congress from giving it back, for that matter.
This is amusing as a tactic to save Virginia, but on principle, I’d rather see DC reduced to entirely government buildings, no residents at all.

In my dreams they eliminated the BLM and national parks system too.
“Under the law Congress passed, you were allowed to redact photos to protect the victims of Epstein’s sex trafficking operation. You redacted the photos of this victim’s face because you were following the congressional law, is that correct?’
Ms Bondi replied: ‘I’m sorry, that we redacted the victim’s face?’ Mr Lieu told her: ‘Because you were following the congressional law, correct?’ Ms Bondi said: ‘Yes’.
Mr Lieu continued: ‘You have now established that we – please put the photos back up – that we are looking at a sex trafficking victim.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15553447/Mystery-woman-floor-Andrew-Mountbatten-Windsor-Jeffrey-Epstein-sex-trafficking-victim.html
If someone’s face is redacted they become a sex trafficking victim because science.
I’m still wondering if the “redact all women’s faces” thing included Ghislaine Maxwell.
It didn’t include her, Sarah Ferguson, Hilary Clinton, and some other women.
He is correct. They were ordered to redact the victim’s faces. Redacting a face strongly implies that it was a victim. Where are the indictments? Convictions?
“Redacting a face strongly implies that it was a victim.”
No it doesn’t.
“I was born in Crown Heights in 1980 to parents from the Caribbean — Barbados and Antigua specifically — part of a tidal wave of late-20th-century West Indian and African emigration that changed the face of Black New York.”
So you are not even one of the “Black” people you are talking about.
Do those Blacks hate Jews as much as native NYC Blacks?
You mean Caribbeans? Don’t know about Jewish people, but the ones I knew HATED being called African-American or being lumped in with the “urban” culture.
I remember some unpleasantness happening in Crown Heights between members of the Progressive Stack.
Neph:
The Somalis here in Minnesoda are the same. They loudly proclaim that they are not African American because their ancestors were never slaves.
Surprisingly this did not endear them to our local black neighbors.
One of the Altar Boys has a Somali buddy that they gave a doo-rag to for his birthday as a joke. The kid laughed but forgot to throw it away. When his dad found it, he flipped out and had an intervention for the kid. Of course the Altar Boy and his other buddies thought it was hilarious hearing about their buddy getting his balls busted.
“We were slave traders, not slaves” is an interesting flex.
And that nice guy Al Sharpton doing his best calm things down.
“We were slave traders, not slaves” is an interesting flex.
They haven’t fully accepted the modern western notion that victimhood is currency. They still default to raw power as currency.
They were slaves, just not in America.
“I was a junior in high school when we moved to Old Mill Basin, an area just off the Belt Parkway marked by rows of two-story attached homes once inhabited by Jewish, Italian, and Irish folks before white flight and retirement spirited them to places like New Jersey, Long Island, and Florida. We were one of the first Black families on our block in the late 1990s; I soon came to know that the Yiddish word schvartze meant “Black” when a fellow passenger lamented that the bus was full of “schvartzes.” My entire body blushed then — the feeling of virulent racism was an unfamiliar, uncomfortable sensation that traveled like lightning from head to toe. A decade later, there were only a few white families left on our block, replaced slowly but surely by Black, mostly Caribbean and African, families.”
I AM FULLY SELF-AWARE!!
It’s a good thing I never experienced any “virulent racism” in the ghetto neighborhoods where most of my schools were growing up. Shrimpy white-kid privilege I guess.
Deblasio’s and whoever was running NY at the time’s cronies froze rents for about half of New Yorkers for a couple years straight. And that was before Mamdami and his other commie friends and the increasingly far left state pols have had their chance to make further changes.
Rent control is a thing in many cities and AFAIK it has never been challenged in front of a court that is receptive to freedom. I have heard of one or two local challenges in NYC but as you can imagine it went nowhere.
I’d like to see a report on what happens to the landlords. Their taxes go up, I assume buildings cannot be maintained and they get fined to death. Bankruptcy and then a change of hands for properties would be the only way out, nobody would ever buy a rent-controlled building at a real market price.
That’s the whole point: to get the properties to politically-connected people.
Look at the condition of the South Bronx in the 70s and 80s. Famously bombed out looking and abandoned.
That’s what happens to the landlords.
I wonder if Mamdami would approve of local Minnesodans raising money to pay the rent for illegals</a? Seems a bit to much like rugged individualism using your own money.
Of course, there is hope that the county will pony up $1M to pay the rent of illegals. Why use your own money if you can get tax payers to do it?
They are illegal. Put ’em on a plane and get them out.
The headline sure implies otherwise….
Many arrived packed into van and trailers. I see no reason to give them a nicer departure than their arrival.

The local proggie website has regular columns by a local “urban geographer” that I can’t quit. Usually they are all focused on getting rid of cars and making everyone walk or bike somewhere.
Today’s column is his master piece. It is a paean to the Mpls protesters’ checkpoints to hinder ICE.
I don’t even know what to quote. It is all so retarded.
I really have no idea what Bill is thinking when he writes this:
Is he hoping that after the Mpls protesters are defeated that we raze a bunch of streets in Mpls and call it “urban planning”?
Bringing up revolutionary France as anything but a warning is a mistake.
I am quite familiar with “urban planning circles” having almost majored in it before I came to my senses and I can tell you no reputable practitioners of that stuff are praising the wholesale destruction of “tangled” working-class Paris in favor of “bourgeois boulevards” anymore.
Wait ’til summer, Jimbo. The Great Twin City Cook-off may start early if another protester loses a quick draw contest.
Fourscore:
I think that the odds are pretty good that the next person getting shot will be some poor slob who tries to run one of those “traffic calming” DIY roadblocks. They will be shot by one of the protesters running the checkpoint.
Of course, you will have to be vigilant to catch that story because it won’t be front page news.

have some sort of sour pickled fruit – I do not unless a green tomato is a fruit. I have some pickled grapes inside my pickled bell peppers.

Not as horrible as Rob Roys.
Never had that particular bottle, but I’ve had other apertifs from Giuillo Cocchi and they’ve all been pretty solid.

“DNA tests conducted during the inquest revealed “human and non-human” semen inside Moore’s body, with the “non-human” semen matching the DNA of the witness’ dog. Moore was known to have an allergy to dogs, prompting coroner David Regan to explore a “pathological relation with sudden death potentially arising from the dog semen.””
I have many questions.
But do you really want answers?
Is one of the questions: “Why waste taxpayer money running a DNA test on the dog semen and using it to search for the actual dog”?
Is it because of the human tradition to kill any animal that “gets a taste for humans”?
Wouldn’t that kind of unnatural practice need to be trained into a dog? I mean, umm, what was the owner up to?

I’ve read that the latest shooter’s actual last name was Van Rootselaar.
Can worldly Glibs confirm that’s a cognate and/or explain how in hell that becomes the name for a human as opposed to some sort of goblin?
German speakers settled in a swamp and then things got weird and stayed weird for a long time. Eventually some of them sailed over to North America.
It occurs to me that it might be referring to a Dutchman sells root vegetables, rather than my initial translation of “of/from the rootcellar.”
Before this trans madness, the kid would have simply been gay. He would have come out of the root cellar and everything would have been fine.
“Van” means “from” and usual Dutch practice would be to put the town or region name next, rather than the occupation.
Hey, you’re right;

Whoops, “Rootselaar”, not Rot. Nevermind.

Descriptive/Nickname: De Groot (the tall), Klein (small), Zondervan (without van—possibly ironic)
Nature/Objects: Naaktgeboren (“born naked”), Vos (fox), Aalbers (son of Aal, a diminutive of Adolf)

She’s so cute when she’s angry.
I’ve never been impressed by Bondi. Too much tough talk with zero action to back it up. Yesterday she brought up the stock market doing well as a counter-point. That’s a terrible look. She’s the head of the DOJ, it’s her job to focus on “justice”. Her job has nothing to do with the stock market. If Trump wants to brag on that, fine.
From what I saw those hearings were a complete shitshow mostly due to how she handled herself and deflected in an idiotic manner. So bad she should be fired for her performance alone. Catastrophically bad…

California just keeps doubling down. I just read that $1T in income (taxed at 13%) moved out of the state in the last few months. That was just from the THREAT of that wealth tax. The billionaires were perfectly happy paying that much in taxes, but that just wasn’t enough for the greedy socialists. New York is already looking like a shit show and the new mayor just got on the job.
There has been some debate here about letting those voters get what they wanted good and hard. I’m surprised at how fast it’s happening, and I’m now on the side of “let them crash and burn”. Now that the Biden admin is gone, they no longer have cover or the promise of a bailout. I get the feeling this is going to be a factor in the midterms.

The midterms will be interesting, and it doesn’t stop there. The top 4 blue states are on track to lose 8 House seats in 2030 unless the Dems double-down on the “adjustments” they typically get away with to count “missed” illegals.
You can count on them knowing this is coming and applying every dirty trick in the book to try to stop it.
They should have lost more seats in 2020.

*It may not matter (yet), but there will be an inflection point. If the trend line continued FOREVER, eventually health care costs would be greater than 100% of disposable income. Which won’t ever happen. So there is one counter argument than the inflection point has happened, the US is the only country that has got past it, and we missed the turnoff. I don’t believe that, at least YET.
Finished another 5 night shifts – thankfully consistently quiet – even if fairly busy learning some new computer tools for report management/briefing…stayed mostly on top of Glibs reading though…forgot to take notes on comments I wanted to respond to belatedly though 🙁
4 nights off till next set of shifts this month – going out a couple times this weekend – turn 45 on Sunday – probably beer and steak alone again at one of my favorite local pubs. Hope to go on a date sometime before I turn 50.
Still working on planning for my folks visiting next month…my parking situation is just such a headache for planning for older folks to visit…figured out a couple taxi options, and praying for no train strikes while they’re here. Starting with a few days in the local area and then up to Florence and then Switzerland to visit some of their friends (from the mission field) for Easter. Will probably be fine – I just haven’t been a big fan of traveling at all while here unlike most of my coworkers. Just not as appealing with my work schedule and being alone – at this point in my life (vice other times when I was younger) – I just feel like working on hobbies and relaxing locally when I get a few days off – although I do plan to visit Ischia again in the fall – and the Army hotel in Germany for Thanksgiving.
OT – It seems NATO (ex USA) is stepping up its PR game.

To sum it up, health care is extremely complicated and there are numerous barriers to reforms, as successive U.S. administrations have learned over the years. Whether the Trump administration finds some success will depend on how well the policies are able to surmount these and other obstacles.
Wow. Thanks for clearing that up, egghead.
The concept of gentrification is bullshit. I and everyone else in the suburbs were called bigots for 40 years because we didn’t want to live in a dangerous shithole. We endured insults and long commutes to work in the city and live outside of it. Then, a small percentage of well off singles decide that the commute would be short if they lived in the city, and if they moved into the same neighborhood, maybe it wouldn’t be a dangerous shithole in that corner of town. Now they are colonizers and racist gentrifiers.
So if you want to live in the city and fix up the shithole house, you are a racist gentrifier colonizer invading Black Spaces ™. If you don’t, you are a racist who won’t live near minorities and “rapes the city of its riches” before running off to the safety of the suburbs at night. Fuck these people.
Supply and demand + property taxes = gentrification.
If they stopped accusing white people of bigotry they’d have to actually ask tough questions about the causes of crime, poverty, and lack of social mobility among the urban poor. The questions have answers, but the answers would destroy the solid D voting block so they cannot be discussed. better to continue to double down on demonizing whitey and hoping whitey doesn’t get sick enough of it to actually start being bigoted and violent.
Gentrification isnt bullshit, its a beautiful thing.

Her primary opponent just dropped out.
I can only guess that her recent hard swing to the left in order to please the ascendant socialists in her Party is working for her. I would have thought she was toast but that broad is cannier than I expected.
I believe that the word “cannier” doesn’t do any justice to the fact she is evil and power hungry as fuck, and that there are a lot of real stupid people that are easy to manipulate.

I listened to Tucker’s interview with Ron Paul last night. Ron still has an infectious optimism and can still rip a solid monologue. Not bad for a 90 year old!
OTOH, he meanders quite a bit now. He always did to some extent, but it’s clear he’s in decline. He fields a question on his career as an OB and ends up talking about his optimism for young people and how they engage with the ideas of liberty. 🤣 He’s a one track mind and he’s not gonna be steered off that track.
What kind of world is this?

Beer sucks. Drink whisky and cocktails instead.
AMEN!
Pass me that gin martini, and send that vermouth to Pie. I don’t want it.

You left out mead and cider.
Not all beer sucks. I’m quite fond of sour ales.

Anyway while I support legalizing it I wish all the fucking potheads would just do it at home like everyone did in the good old days. I hate smelling that shit everywhere now.
And I just heard yesterday that more people are regular potheads than drinkers.
I am not certain this is a positive development, TBH.

Instant to smell Portland about ten miles out of town when I’m driving through. Nasty ass trash.
Local wineries have been complaining about business being slow the past couple years. A lot of vines have been pulled up and need to be replaced, but replanting has been slow due to the week market. Of course they are turning to the local government for money.
From Pope Jimbo’s link above:
Given the desperate need for laws to be enforced, and the lack of ability for state and local officials to do so, the least we can ask of our local government representatives is to turn a blind eye, much as a tax collector would do to a kid’s lemonade stand.
Like immigration laws, for example?
I’m sure he would happily turn a blind eye to ad hoc freelance deportations for the good of the collective.
To the left, laws are to hamstring and punish your enemies. never to limit them.
Does the lemonade stand also sell tires and hubcaps?

A Homeland Security shutdown appeared increasingly likely on Wednesday, the second day in a row with little apparent progress in negotiations between Democrats and the White House. Democrats are demanding new curbs on ICE including better identification, the use of judicial warrants and an end to racial profiling, among other asks. They are still waiting to hear from the White House after rejecting an initial offer late Monday night from the administration as “incomplete and insufficient.”
As the two sides remained far apart, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., urged Democrats and the White House to find agreement.
“I think it’s important that the people at the negotiating table double down, sharpen their pencils and strike a deal,” Thune said.
Planes will fall out of the sky. Our borders will be unprotected. Hurricanes will devastate the land.
Power struggle
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche fired the acting U.S. attorney in the Northern District of New York late Wednesday night, mere hours after he was appointed by a panel of federal judges.
It’s the latest move by the Trump administration to circumvent both the Senate and the courts to install favored prosecutors.
New York-based federal judges picked longtime lawyer Donald Kinsella to serve as the new U.S. attorney working in Albany, tapping into their long-held power to appoint top prosecutors when an interim U.S. attorney’s term ends.
Blanche, however, announced the administration’s intention to sack Kinsella in a post on X Wednesday night.
The Imperious Judiciary strikes again.
Kinsella was appointed to replace John Sarcone III, a Trump loyalist who was disqualified by a judge in January after the Trump administration used a procedural maneuver to keep him in the job beyond his 120-day term as interim U.S. attorney. Sarcone, who had no apparent prosecutorial experience when he was selected for the post, was leading an investigation into New York Attorney General Letitia James, a longtime Trump foe.
“When the Executive branch of government skirts restraints put in place by Congress and then uses that power to subject political adversaries to criminal investigations, it acts without lawful authority,” said District Judge Lorna Schofield, an Obama appointee, in her 24-page opinion.
In disqualifying Sarcone, the judge also quashed two subpoenas to James that had been signed by Sarcone. The Justice Department is appealing Schofield’s decision.
Trump has injected politics into the legal system where none previously existed.
Say the people that used the judicial to do legislation congress feared to pass for decades?

Scientists attribute snow drought conditions to climate change, primarily caused by humans burning fossil fuels. O’Neill said it’s harder to say this year’s weather conditions were solely caused by climate change, but the warmer, drier winter does reveal something.
“This one winter doesn’t necessarily tell us it was caused by climate change,” he said. “But we know that the winters in the coming decades are going to be much more like this. And I think the story here is to look at how impactful these conditions are to us, because we know we’re going to expect them more in the future.”
The last time Oregon had a record low snowpack, in 2015, the entire state was either under severe or extreme drought conditions toward the latter half of the summer, and 25 out of the state’s 36 counties had declared a drought of emergency. At one point that year, Oregon became the nation’s No. 1 wildfire priority.
By then, many farmers and ranchers across Central and Eastern Oregon had already been dealing with multi-year droughts and low streamflow for irrigation.
The weather should be consistent and predictable. It’s not fair.
But we know that the winters in the coming decades are going to be much more like this.
Claims like these should be made under penalty of destitution.
Want to circulate doom porn? Fine. Put out a series of measurable changes that you claim will happen over the next 10 years. We’ll meet up then, measure those things, and if they didn’t happen, you lose all of your property, money, credentials, social security, everything. You walk out the door buck naked and without any thing more than your birth certificate.
You mean this winter when we had the longest cold streak since 1899?
Blah blah blah. These people never quit.
The outright making shit up has been so relentlessly constant for so long that it’s amazing that these liars are no longer winning hearts and minds the way they used to.
Reality really does win in the end. That is encouraging I guess.
This. I find it a bit disturbing how long. it has taken people to bother looking out of the window.

“Boebert: This seems that it wasn’t only the trafficking of young girls, as the narrative suggests, but there are code words that suggest Jeffrey Epstein and his associates could maybe even be engaging in some consumption. Is that human consumption? Are there code words?
There’s a lot of talk of beef jerky. There’s a restaurant called The Cannibal, where the owner is listed in some of these documents. Now, that isn’t a restaurant that is claiming to serve human meat by any means, but some of this just seems like there are a lot of conspiracies that make you wonder.”

Trying to make AOC seem intelligent?
“Luna said her own examination of widely distributed Epstein emails left her with serious questions about what the documents imply.
“I looked directly at the emails that have been widely circulated about the ‘Age 11,’ and what I called the ‘Permission to Kill’ email,” Luna told Johnson.
“These were emails sent by women to Epstein — many of whom were victims who were allegedly groomed to later be traffickers themselves.””
Women have no agency.
When it seems like every crazy conspiracy is coming true, I’m less inclined than I might have been in the past to reject the idea that “beef jerky is people”.
It will really feel like the Olympics to me when the Americans face off against the Russians.

“Mean Arms manufactures, sells, and distributes a magazine lock, known as the MA Lock, that it markets as a device to lock a magazine onto a rifle. However, the lock can easily be removed so that detachable magazines, including high-capacity magazines, can be inserted. ”
I don’t get it. So detachable magazines are illegal in NY?
No, they are perfectly legal. If they are prohibited then the state is committing another crime.

You’re stealing Oregon’s winter!
Also, California. Tahoe was forecast to get four feet of snow.
Well, we’re just about done with it, I guess they can have it back now.
These people vote.
A young man told me he had an argument with his mother in law while they were cooking.
MIL read the recipe and said they needed 11 pounds of bread crumbs to make gravy.
SIL explained that no, the recipe reads 1 lb of bread crumbs.
MIL insisted that that reads 11 b not 1l b. She was totally obstinate about it and had no intuitive sense of how ridiculously wrong she was.
They were cooking for 6 people. Now imagine what 11 pounds of bread crumbs looks like.
The same woman cooked for us once. She used roux made with 1-1/2 cups of butter + 1-12 cups of flour for 1/2 gallon of shrimp creole. It was inedible.
Dope? Retard? Moron?
Repeal the 19th.

The Democrat sheriff is correct.
He is not part of the three branches of federal government.
He is the chief law enforcement officer in his county, as described in the constitution.
