I hope everybody out there had a wonderful Christmas. It was a lovely day. The Lions completely shit the bed in a must-win game, so their day sucked. But they’re from TSUN, so I’m fine with it. Not much going in the sports world other than that, so I’ll just move on.

Good. Let’s get this to the SC and over with. I have a hard time believing they’ll decide that people too young to consent can have their bodies mutilated or be chemically castrated on the taxpayer dime.

Jeez, what a psycho. I hope the people he went after are ok.

Maybe PETA stopped it. Just kidding. They’re all too busy stealing and killing family pets.

What the hell does “inclusion” have to do with it? Can’t he be honest and just say the designers have a soft spot for giant, absurdist eyesores?

What a hell of a nice guy. I’m not being snarky. Good for him.

I have a lot to say about this. But I’ll let those thoughts go for now. Maybe I’ll hit on them in the comments.

I wouldn’t be surprised. Although I still think it was mostly homegrown grifting.

This is the way. If the dude is lying, then go after him.

Crazy business. I’ll be shocked if the Aussie government doesn’t charge the driver with incitement.

Is hiring a fat lesbian as fire chief to pander a prerequisite for big city Dems? Because the odds of it happening on merit in virtually all of them is a lot lower than what’s happening in reality.

Here’s a nice, mellow track. A good way to wake up after a few days off. This one has a bit more pep to it. Enjoy them both.

And enjoy this lovely Friday, dear friends.

    I have a lot to say about this. But I’ll let those thoughts go for now. Maybe I’ll hit on them in the comments.

    “Case dismissed with Prejudice. Plaintiffs are ordered to report to ICE for deportation.”

    • (((Jarflax

      You haven’t been paying attention to what the carefully selected Judges in these suits are like, have you? Plaintiffs’ CDLs restored, and each one is awarded a new truck.

      • UnCivilServant

        The judges have assumed executive authority, so I’ve assumed judicial authority.

        Now, to the deportation camps.

    • Rat on a train

      Maybe on appeal, but I’m sure they found a friendly court to start the process.

    • juris imprudent

      I wouldn’t be surprised that the Trump administration was dumb enough to sweep up legitimate green-card holders with this, in which case the suit has merit.

      • R.J.

        Even if you have a green card you have to meet other requirements and pass tests for a CDL.

      • Tonio

        Also, don’t forget the possibility of malicious compliance by low level career bureaucrats.

      • Nephilium

        From the article, one of the complaints was that licenses were being revoked for having an expiration date past the driver’s work authorization expiration date. Seems a simple work around would be to have the CDLs expiration date tied to the work authorization expiration date.

      • juris imprudent

        I don’t doubt malfeasance on the part of California, but that doesn’t mean Trump’s team is in the clear.

      • sloopyinca

        This has nothing to do with their green cards and everything to do with CDL-mills operating in California. These people are woefully unqualified to be on the roads and the state is simply passing them through a broken system to generate cheap, chain-migration fueled supply chains by manipulating the H1-B programs that never had trucking in mind.

        Then the recipients operate under multiple FMCSA numbers after obtaining trucks through SBA loans and when something goes sideways on the road, they simply abandon the truck and the taxpayers are on the hook for the balance of the loans. They close down the carrier they ran under that day and just start another one or two and repeat the process.

      • sloopyinca

        The simplest solution to this whole debacle is for other states to say they will no longer recognize CA-issued CDLs in the name of safety. They can pull those trucks over and if a person with a CA CDL is driving, impound the truck. Let CA sue under the full faith and credit clause and simply countersue because CA won’t recognize LTCs issued by other states, especially those issued to non-domiciled Californians.

        Force California to defend the people they issued licenses to, and their licensing scheme in general, at the same time they say they aren’t required to honor different kinds of licenses issued by other states. It puts them in a no-win situation.

    Wait, someone tried mass killing in another country, that is unpossible! Guns makes us kill, if there are no guns, no one can die!

    • Threedoor

      Of course they had to put something stupid about gun laws in a piece about knives.

  3. Ted S.

    Good. Let’s get this to the SC and over with.

    Note that the AP uses the misnomer “gender-affirming care”.

  6. rhywun

    That “gender-affirming care” article is the usual dishonest propaganda from start to finish. We are so fucked when the MSM can just lie with impunity on every issue and nobody calls them out on it.

    • (((Jarflax

      Delusion affirming care is the more accurate descriptor.

      • sloopyinca

        Just call it the genital mutilation and/or chemical castration of children.
        That’s the only honest framing.

    • Tonio

      They are using 1984 as a textbook. Orwell was very specific about Newspeak being deliberately designed to make it as difficult as possible to argue for wrongthink.

  7. PieInTheSky

    Not much going in the sports world other than that

    In the NBA a fat white guy had a Christmas 50 point triple double, just 2 years after a fat white guy had a Christmas triple double.

  8. rhywun

    What the hell does “inclusion” have to do with it?

    It’s an Indulgence allowing them to erect that pile of shit in a public park with a clear conscience.

    • Gender Traitor

      How long until the lower part of the outer walls are “tagged” with “inclusive artwork”?

      • Tonio

        [golf clap]

  9. R C Dean

    “I have a hard time believing they’ll decide that people too young to consent can have their bodies mutilated or be chemically castrated”

    The classic informed consent doctrine is that informed consent can be given (or withheld) for minors by their parents (or, in reality, a parent). This is limited only when the parent’s decision crosses the line into child abuse or neglect. Transitioning a child could easily cross that line, depending on what the standard of care is. Now, the standard of care is determined by some amalgam of the courts and the medical profession. Of course, informed consent requires the disclosure of risks and benefits, and it’s pretty clear the risks were not disclosed and the benefits were overstated, even by what was known at the time. Both the standard of care and especially informed consent are good avenues of attack against the trans industrial complex.

    And it should go without saying that no insurer or government should be required to pay for anything they don’t want to pay for.

    • juris imprudent

      Kind of shocking how easily the medical profession was stampeded into this, isn’t it?

      • R C Dean

        Oh, it was more like how cheaply they were bought. Which, as someone who dealt with doctors every day, didn’t surprise me a bit.

      • Sensei

        And it is easy to do. The ego of a random doc is usually off the charts.

        Stroke that appropriately and the rest follows.

      • ZWAK, doktor of BRAIN SCIENCE!

        Another factor to consider is just how status conscious that class of people are. And that status is derived not through money, but inclusiveness in the group. Truly herd like behavior.

      • Tonio

        Not after the COVID lockdown, it wasn’t.

      • Chafed

        @Tonio I’m right there with you. What happened during covid shocked me. I couldn’t believe the lack of argument. After that, I was willing to believe every doctor organization would go along with whatever was being pushed.

  10. PieInTheSky

    I have a hard time believing they’ll decide that people too young to consent – give it a few years and they will no longer be such a thing

    Is There A “Cuba Connection” Behind The Radicalization Of America’s Nonprofit Left

    Is this even a question? Of course there is. Someone had to pick up the slack after the demise of the Soviet Union.

      • rhywun

        Oh sure, they’re involved too.

        Ask Tim Walz.

    • invisible finger

      The demise if the USSR left MI6/NATO with a lot of ifle hands.

      All the talk of Soros behind a lot of leftism lets Pritzkers operate without observation.

  12. PieInTheSky

    I will tell the Romanian government that I self-identify as a gun owner and not only should I get guns but the government should buy them for me.

    • (((Jarflax

      Do Romanian prisons have commissary accounts for prisoners that we can fund? I think such a gesture deserves a few bucks.

      • PieInTheSky

        Romanian prisons are pretty lax overall it is easy to get stuff to prisoners

  13. PieInTheSky

    I neglected my hands for a few days and not the skin is al dry and rough good thing I have some lotion on hand.

        Silver was also considered proof against vampires, which was used as one of the “explanations” as to why they didn’t show up on film or in mirrors.

        See you can still write it with two X 也 but it’s not a single character like 他.

      • rhywun

        I wonder if they have invented a new pronunciation for the proposed invented character.

        Since the words for “he” and “she” are pronounced the same what’s the point of the stunning bravery if you don’t get to force people to speak the invented word differently.

    • PieInTheSky

      do you risk misgendering if you get the tone of the word slightly wrong?

      • Sensei

        Pie, Romanian doesn’t have a neuter case, right?

        All nouns are gendered so you are all sexists!

      • PieInTheSky

        yes it has a neuter. Masculine form for singular, feminine for plural.

      • Sensei

        Interesting!

    • Ted S.

      Farsi doesn’t have gendered pronouns IIRC, and a society that famously treats both sexes equally.

      Definitely a clip from DCS. Looks at the sides of the ‘carrier’ hull.

      That said, that appears to be an Su-27, which is one of the handful of aircraft that can pull off those kind of crazy post-stall maneuvers.

      • kinnath

        I’ve seen video of that maneuver in real life, but always at altitude.

      • dbleagle

        The water was undisturbed by jet exhaust. Fake. But like ES said, the Su-27 can pull off these types of maneuvers.

    • Ownbestenemy

      First was car second was idiot on second bike. However, given his wanting to lane split when presented with break lights…both riders are at fault.

      • ZWAK, doktor of BRAIN SCIENCE!

        I don’t think the first rider was at fault (assuming lane splitting is legal), but the second def. was.

      • Ownbestenemy

        I was being glib. First was surely the car.

      • EvilSheldon

        Both riders were at fault, for failing to manage their speed appropriately.

      • R C Dean

        As is often the case, there is plenty of blame to go around.

        Whether lane-splitting is legal or not, it is a colossally stupid thing to do in moving traffic. I couldn’t quite tell if the first motorcycle was lane-splitting, but the second definitely was, and directly through an accident scene at that.

        Looks like the car jumped the gun getting into traffic, but that also depends on how (much too) fast the first motorcycle was going.

    • DrOtto

      Lane splitting is dangerous? Regarding the first accident in this clip, I had a lady drive into my front right fender/tire last week. She swooped over 2 lanes/basically tried to make a left from the furthest right hand lane on a 3 lane wide road and ran into the side of me and then exclaimed “I had my blinker on!” like that magically bestows right-of-way on her. People are idiots. Oh, I also had to chase her down. “I didn’t think I hit you” uh huh. Fortunately, I had a quarter size dent and her bumper cover was hanging off and fender destroyed.

      • Sensei

      • Nephilium

        Toxteth:

        If it makes you feel better, in general, people use brackets and parentheses to make it clear. Tests like this are usually trick questions to make sure you’re aware that there is an order of operations.

    • Rat on a train

      Getting the correct answer isn’t important. It’s the effort that should be graded.

      Christ. If I couldn’t solve both those problems, first try, in under thirty seconds, I would kill myself out of shame.

      There are a lot of teachers out there who have a lot to answer for.

      • Nephilium

        There was a piece I saw recently that called out how much damage the coddling of “I’m not good at math” has gone. You don’t need to be good at math to do simple addition, subtraction, division, or multiplication. You should be able to do those long before reaching high school, let alone graduating.

      • juris imprudent

        Those who can do, those who can’t teach. And those who can’t teach get a PhD and teach teachers.

      • Gender Traitor

        Math in my grades 6-8 was impaired by something called “Continuous Progress Math,” in which you worked independently by taking a pretest on each concept, doing exercises related to the items you missed on the pretest, then taking the post-test. My ancient 6th grade math teacher in particular had no clue how to implement this system.

        All I remember about 9th grade algebra was that the teacher talked like Elmer Fudd.

    Fuck you Guardian. Let have Europe write that check and start a war with Russia.

    Faced with the choice, for example, between expelling Russia from Ukraine – something the US undoubtedly has the military means to do by arming Kyiv sufficiently – or forging a profitable relationship with Vladimir Putin in which both sides plunder Ukraine’s considerable material resources, Trump unmistakably wants to choose the latter.

      • UnCivilServant

        There is no such thing as international law.

        Law is merely the rule that can be enforced. Most countries lack force projection. Many can’t even enforce their laws within their own boundaries.

  16. PieInTheSky

    I guess it is time for a short Romanian lesson

    Romanian has feminine masculine and neuter gender. Off course as most native speakers we just learn to say the words as kids, never thinking about this unless asked. When asked a Romanian will often count a word to figure out the gender. Counting a noun one two has feminine and masculine forms, from 3 on it is identical. The way the plural is made also matters, but we do not dwell on that as it can be quite irregular;

    A masculin noun has masculine one two and masculine form for plural. Tree is masculine: un copac, doi copaci.

    A feminine noun has feminine one two and feminine form for plural. Table is feminine: o masa, doua mese

    A neuter takes masculine one and feminine two. Chair is neutral: un scaun, doua scaune.

    So un/doi; o/doua; un/doua.

    • UnCivilServant

      Is there a method to what inanimate objects are masculine versus feminine versus neutral?

      • PieInTheSky

        Off course not

    • Sensei

      Have any nouns changed gender over use?

      Or have they retained the same gender as they generally did in Latin or origin?

      • PieInTheSky

        Many changed.

    “A UK teacher said he was reported to government counter-terrorism investigators and forced to resign just for showing high school senior-age students videos of President Trump.

    The politics teacher at Henley College in Oxfordshire, northwest of London, told the Telegraph he was accused of causing “emotional harm” to the students, who were all 17 or 18 years old — with child protective services suggesting he could be guilty of a “hate crime.”

    “Next thing, I was accused of bias. One of the students said they were emotionally disturbed and claimed to have had nightmares.”

    Henley College referred the case to the Local Authority Designated Officer (LADO), an official who investigates safety concerns, according to the Telegraph.

    An LADO report from May found the teacher’s views “could be perceived as radical” and that Henley College “should complete a Prevent referral,” a “government-led, multi-agency” program that “aims to stop individuals becoming terrorists.”

      “A popular TikTok content creator known as “Tea Tyme” has been arrested on serious charges after allegedly running over and killing a pedestrian while livestreaming from her vehicle, authorities said. Tynesha McCarty-Wroten, 43, dared to ask for donations following the November 3 incident that claimed the life of 59-year-old Daren Lucas in Zion, a small town about 65 miles north of Chicago. She was charged Tuesday with reckless homicide and aggravated use of a communications device resulting in death, and is being held in custody without bail, jail records show.”

        I thought killing Zionists was OK in IL?

      A great way to turn a misdemeanor or even just a verbal warning into a multiple felony charge that even the Seattle prosecutors probably won’t ignore.

      He’ll find a way to explain his behavior on OMB?

      How much are they going for? They look like they’d make a fine storage buildings if sufficiently gutted.

        It’ll be a while, they’ll first try to find some schmuck to pay to dispose of the batteries, before realizing that schmuck is you, the taxpayer. Then they’ll be “sold” below scrap value to somebody’s cousin.

        The large battery would also be great for off grid or backup energy storage.

        You are disqualified from bidding, and on the terrorist watch list.

      The company went out of business because the axles would break. My town had a few of those too before they pulled them out of service. Oops.

    Amherst County Commissioner of Revenue Jane Irby told ABC 13 the county uses J.D. Power’s January 1 valuations for every VIN on record. She couldn’t explain why those numbers sometimes come in higher than consumer tools like Kelley Blue Book or Edmunds,

    I can explain. FYTW.

    Vehicle taxes are like the one thing tax happy NJ is very moderate about. Newer vehicles have higher registration fees, but it doesn’t matter the cost of the original vehicle.

    A British anti-disinformation campaigner told by the Trump administration that he faces possible removal from the US has said he is being targeted by arrogant and “sociopathic” tech companies for trying to hold them to account.

    Imran Ahmed, the chief executive of the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), is among five European nationals barred from the US by the state department after being accused of seeking to push tech firms to censor or suppress American viewpoints.

    “What it has been about is companies that simply do not want to be held accountable and, because of the influence of big money in Washington, are corrupting the system and trying to bend it to their will, and their will is to be unable to be held accountable,” he said.

    “There is no other industry, that acts with such arrogance, indifference and a lack of humility and sociopathic greed at the expense of people.”

    This country is such a fascist shithole he will fight tooth and nail to escape being shipped back to Eurotopia.

      “Imran Ahmed”
      Truly a fine British name, right up there with John and Ian.

        Yes, he’s done his damage across the pond and came here to do more.

    “There is simply too much gaslighting going on to spend adequate time debunking everything. Those on the far-right believe that antifa is a terrorist organization, when being anti-fascist is literally one of the reasons why we fought Nazi Germany during World War II.”

    Who could argue with that?

        Argue with what? There was no logic there, just assertions and stolen bases.

        That is the point.

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

      1. Bashing (or worse, you know they’d be putting people against the wall if they could get away with it) people, even Nazis, who are acting peacefully for political purposes is terrorism.
      2. The people being bashed aren’t Nazis.

      • rhywun

        No more Nazis just means they have to invent new ones.

        Like any other org with a “mission”.

    when being anti-fascist is literally one of the reasons why we fought Nazi Germany during World War II.

    I thought it was because they bombed Pearl Harbor.

      We fought Germany for being anti-fascist? Man, the left is going all in on making fascism popular.

      That was the Amish who attacked Pearl Harbor, wasn’t it?

    We use our discretionary analysis to argue against discretionary analysis, or something

    Earlier this month, President Trump issued a memorandum directing Kennedy and the acting director of the CDC to align the U.S. with best practices on childhood vaccine recommendations from peer nations, and it specifically mentioned Denmark. That could mean fewer shots against fewer diseases.

    But critics say you can’t simply adopt another country’s vaccine schedule in the U.S., which has a very different population and different health risks.

    “It’s like fitting a square peg in a round hole when our goal is to prevent disease,” says Josh Michaud, associate director for global and public health policy at KFF.

    ——-

    But Denmark has created its immunization schedule in a very different context than that of the U.S., notes Dr. Sean O’Leary, chair of the Committee on Infectious Diseases for the American Academy of Pediatrics.

    “It’s like comparing a cruise ship to a kayak,” says O’Leary, a professor of pediatrics and infectious diseases at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.

    Our population is so large and diverse and complex the only rational policy is uniform top down mandatory inoculation for the broadest possible array of illnesses.

    Fuck you and the broom you rode in on, doc.
