The Astros lost but they’re still above .500 and still winning the division by 1.5 games. The rest of the playoff races in the AL could get fun if a few teams get hot. Not so sure about the NL divisions, but the WC will be a fun one to watch. No training camp news I can find, so gotta wait a bit longer for anything from the NFL. And that’s pretty much it for sports.
These were the guys who weren’t even there, IIRC. And the convictions were absurd. But grandstanders gonna grandstand, I suppose.
Why did companies ever get away from this in the first place? Makes no sense to me at all.
He’s lucky he’s just facing contempt charges. IMO, he ought to be facing a wall.
I guess they hired her because of her experience. Sorry, but “keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer” should probably not apply when you’re hiring a police chief.
I guess she can write a book now. Ot start an OnlyFans. I’m sure lefties will give her money for her bravery.
Why does this read like it was a bad thing? I think we should do it again. And expand it to a lot more industries. Like every single one of them.
These people are serious. Sadly, they’re not serious people.
I wish this would go nationwide quickly. And give us universal reciprocity or nationwide constitutional carry quickly, please.
Ahahahahahahahahahaha!!! What makes it even funnier is that minority groups are allowed to demand they be treated by someone from their own group in the UK, but this reads as racist because the people are apparently white.
This will be neat if it works in humans. Hopefully they keep at it and some private company continues to fund the research.

Peanut butter because it is spread around?
Or the cost of groceries went up so much.
I don’t know. I never heard it phrased like that.
But universal uniform pay adjustments are almost certainl;y the result of HR going “we can’t risk complaints from the low performers” all it does is reward those people who are not bad enough to get fired but not good enough to be worth their salary. It also leads your good workers to seek outside employment, as their efforts are unrewarded.
Employee reviews where everyone is rated in the top 10%…
Our employee evaluations have been nerfed to the point where there are two ratings “Satisfactory” and “Unsatisfactory” and you have to fight as a supervisor to get an “Unsatisfactory” to stick. The process has been rendered pointless.
Same here UnCiv. Pass/Fail and you better not fail anyone.
Same with when I was a SSgt in the USAF. 1-5 scale and it better be a firewall 5 every year
Ours are 1 to 5 and I just put straight 3’s because there is no chance at all of getting the coveted “merit” bonus – there is only like one per dozens of peeps IIRC. Except that one year I actually did.
I don’t know. I never heard it phrased like that.
I’ve heard it used for layoffs. Never for pay raises.
I haven’t heard that term either. There’s two reasons for it, though:
(1) Fear of anti-discrimination lawsuits.
(2) Laziness.
Many blue collar jobs have raises based solely on how long you’ve been working there.
^^this.
I’ve heard and experienced this phenomenon. In fact, I’d be surprised if it changes this year for me.
If they peanut butter my compensation, that’s fine. I’ll peanut butter my effort…. Minimum required to cover the year.
If they want me to go above and beyond, they need to do better than apologetically hand out a couple days of off the books PTO when I go above and beyond.
Usually see a flat amount for everyone based on inflation then merit raises on top.

“freeing people convicted of violent assaults on police”
What about all the BLM, ICE, etc. “protesters” who were never prosecuted?
Those weren’t assaults, and any violence was committed by the police.
““Today’s epilogue diminishes the gravity of that day, denigrates the work of the prosecutors and law enforcement officers who secured these convictions, and excuses criminal acts that caused a centuries-long pillar of our democracy — the peaceful transfer of presidential power — to buckle. The court cannot write a different ending,” he wrote.”
J6 was two hours long.
The work of those prosecutors and LEOs deserves denigration – they also belong in the dock for abuse of authority. Throw them in the same prisons with the same drawn out process.
I only made it a couple paragraphs into that pile of bias.
I only made it to “far-right” in the opening paragraph.
National Constitutional Carry is the only way to read the law in an internally consistant manner. “Shall not be infringed” does not mean “Must ask for permission”.
As for the NFA – state level laws banning similar arms are facially unconstitutional under the same, and the “there’s no need for paperwork to track a tax that doesn’t exist.” is so obvious I’m surprised a judge saw it.
Remember the OCare tax? You know, the one that saved it from being overturned as unconstitutional?
Funny how when that one got zeroed out, it had no effect whatsoever on OCare’s Constitutionality.
Functionally, it’s pretty near nationwide now. The ruling applies to anyone who’s a plaintiff, and that includes the residents of the aforementioned 15 states, as well as members of Gun Owners of America, the Firearms Policy Coalition, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, customers of SilencerShop.com, and probably some others I’m forgetting right now.
(When I bought my new silencer the other day, I forgot that I had a long-neglected Silencer Shop account. I can personally recommend them, they make the whole process super easy.)
I’ll be interested to see the administration’s response. Someone who actually knows the law might correct me here, but wouldn’t the DOJ have to appeal the ruling to get it to the USSC?
If they don’t do anything, the next TEAM BLUE administration will start fucking with the people again on Day 1.
The non-prevailing party has to appeal to move up the courts, yes.
I want them to – not to prolong the case, but so that we don’t have a weird patchwork where these organizations have a different legal status to their competition.
If the DOJ appeals the ruling, but doesn’t request a stay…then I think we’ll know what’s up.
Don’t get me started. I just put in for two pistol permit applications this AM.
Earlier I changed my address for $21. I didn’t realize I could have applied for the pistols at the same time, so I had to pay the $21 again AND $25 x2 for the pistol permits.
Bonus – I can only get one pistol every 30 days. When I finally decide to go through the CCW process I’ll be out around $200 for a mandatory qualification course, whatever the hell 50 rounds of 9mm cost today and another $226 to fucking state of NJ.
And I still have purchased a carry gun. So I’ll have to pay whatever the hell the fedgov charges the dealer for the instant background check to process plus NJ sales tax.
I hate New Jersey on your behalf.
Actually I hated New Jersey way before this, but I have it more on your behalf.
You decide what guns you’re going to get yet? I’m eagerly looking forward to criticizing your choices and explaining all the things you did wrong! 😉😉😉
Glock G43X MOS and something else that takes optics.
It’s NJ – so 10 round or less. Naturally.
I’ve experience with full size Glock and zero compact 9mm experience. So I’m going to have to see what I like to carry and shoot. Hence random gun #2. I’m open to suggestions.
According to Glock, the standard capacity of 10 round anyway
https://us.glock.com/en/products/commercial-firearms/pistols/g43x-mos
Oh, what the Hell, I’ll play:
My carry guns: Glock 43X, Hellcat Pro Comp, Sig p365.
Fire away!
WTF – the P365 looks compelling!
What are the pros and cons compared to your 43X?
Am I the only one that doesn’t like Glocks?
I’ve only shot one once, but I didn’t like it.
I have 2 carry pistols a S&W 1911 .45 and a steel Baby Eagle also in .45, both with 5″ barrels.
@WTF – how do you find each of them to shoot?
@Ron I don’t care for Glocks. The trigger safety and I do not get along.
The Glock 43X MOS is an excellent choice – it’s like the Toyota Camry of carry guns. That’s a complement, not a criticism. I carry a Glock 48 myself, and I probably would have gone with the 43X if it had been available when I was buying.
I probably said this before, but think about either another identical Glock 43X MOS, or else something tiny like a Kel-Tec P32 or Ruger LCP that you can use for deep concealment.
The SIG P365 is reliable, and unlike other SIG products it doesn’t tend to slip the sear and go off by itself…but I find that the grip is too small to get good purchase on. Also, I just dislike SIG (the company) in general.
I’ve never messed with the Hellcat, but I don’t know any reason I’d pick it over the Glock 43X – it sorta fills the same role.
The p365 – smaller grip, even with the extended mag my pinky tends to not fully engage, recoil kind of snappy, but great for deep concealment. Accurate for its size and barrel length.
43X – easy to shoot, nice grip (for me anyway) recoil not bad at all, pretty accurate for a smaller gun. Typically my EDC because I shoot this one the best.
Hellcat Pro Comp – Nice gun, the comp definitely tones down the recoil for follow up shots, pretty accurate, grip is different from the Glock which is what I am used to shooting, but feels good.
I’ve never messed with the Hellcat, but I don’t know any reason I’d pick it over the Glock 43X – it sorta fills the same role.
Yup. I mostly bought it just to have another toy to carry, and to have a replacement for the 43X when it goes in for a deep cleaning.
Thanks.
I have the problem of needing somethign concealable but having the kind of hands that a full size 1911 fits.
EvilSheldon – Yes you did say buy two. I don’t disagree.
Plan would be to see what I like and how often I carry before I go the 2X same gun route. I don’t disagree that beating up one gun makes the most sense. For example, to qualify I’m going to be dropping mags on concrete at an indoor range.
Initial plan would be to buy more mags on whatever I decide to use to qualify.
If I was conceal carrying, I’m not sure what I would carry, maybe a shorter Baby eagle?
I’ve heard the shorter 1911’s aren’t as reliable.
@WTF – how do you find each of them to shoot?
I shoot best with the Glock, but probably because I’ve had it the longest so I have more time at the range with it. The p365 has a small grip as ES noted, so I’m not as accurate with it. The Hellcat pro Comp shoots nice, but I understand the Hellcat recoil is pretty snappy without the comp.
I thought this had been settled – suppressed Five-seveN in a shoulder rig.
Sensei – I always use my Glock 43X to qualify, because it’s easy with that gun. Also why it’s my EDC.
‘Harder to make reliable’ might be a better term. I have (or have had) a few 4″ 1911/2011s that have run like sewing machines, and my Atlas has a 4.6″ barrel and has never had a failure that wasn’t due to malformed ammo.
I hated the Glock when I shot it.
My wife and I went with variations of the 1911 for both practice and carry pistols:
Sig p938 (9mm)
Springfield 1911 EMP (9mm) — 3.3 inch barrel
Springfield 1911 EMP 4 (9mm) — 4 inch barrel {sold under a different model number now}
The EMP are completely redesigned pistols scaled down for 9 mm. They are very accurate and very reliable.
I carry the p938 in a pocket holster and the 1911 EMP in a shoulder harness.
slumbrew – carrying silenced like that is now “animal style” according to Gustave’s Reddit reading.
I don’t know, never shot one.
My 5″ 1911 has been flawless and the Baby eagle had one failure to feed when it was brand new, but none since.
This will be neat if it works in humans.
So a bunch of smaller tumors metastasizing through the body.
Exactly what I thought.
Unfortunately it did not annihilate the Hollywood left, nor the left in Academia. It provided them with immunity from criticism and annihilated the people trying to stop their takeover.
Yeah, they have successfully and completely brushed out the fact that Hollywood (and elsewhere) were literally overflowing with no-shit communists, bought and paid for by the CCCP. Whether they were a serious danger or not… I dunno.
They managed to completely whitewash the atrocities of the Soviet Union, to the point that no-shit commies are winning elections in the U.S. right now.
Whether they were a serious danger or not… I dunno.
I mean, we’re openly electing socialists in a growing number of cities now. Whether that’s a direct or indirect lineage is unclear, but they had their impact.
People keep leaving out the part that McCarthy was right about Communists.

Trying to get a handle on today’s work schedule.
“This space intentionally left blank” seems repetitive.
Audit the hives’ tithes
Mrs. Fourscore can’t come up with things for you to do?
6 am to 8 am : Musing on the state of the world
8 am to noon: Pondering lunch
Noon to 1 pm: Lunch
1 pm-6 pm: Pondering dinner
6 pm to 7 pm: Dinner
7 pm on: Relaxing before bed.
A lot of good ideas, guys, (((Jarflax’s schedule pretty much ties things together with the other inputs flushing out any spare time.
Fourscore, if you need time to figure things out, you could always go sit on that pretty red tractor of yours.
I still haven’t gotten mine running, I rebuilt the carb, but it would leak fuel out of the bottom, I talked to a tractor shop and he told me that sometimes and old carb will do that.
So I bought a brand new carburetor and it did the same thing. Been busy with truck repairs and car maintenance so it’s been neglected.
A Guardian puker about McCarthyism? LOL GTFO. I would rather blow my brains out.
These are also the people who openly want McCarthyism against non-lefties, like that WNBA article I mentioned in the overnight thread.
“Mr Awah also claimed he had experienced patients telling him they cannot understand him, even though English is the only language he speaks.”
Just because they invented the language, doesn’t mean they use it.
“A white man allegedly refused to let a sonographer scan his pregnant wife, telling the staff: “I don’t want anyone from any ethnic background touching my woman.””
Bollocks.
Now imagine a Muslim guy saying that.
No one said that because no one talks like that.
Now imagine a Muslim guy saying that.
A Muslim can say it and it’s an acceptable accommodation to request in the UK.
Ding Ding Ding!
Except Mr Awah is from Nigeria, so they didn’t invent the language.
Do you need more coffee?
That, or Diet Pepsi or one of the Zeros.
If I went to a doctor I couldn’t understand, in my own country, I’d ask for another doctor.
I’d do the same for an auto mechanic, a lawyer, a realtor, a bank teller, or basically anybody that wasn’t simply fulfilling a fast food order or ringing up my Gatorade at a gas station in the boonies.
This shouldn’t be controversial.
Can you imagine how bad it’s become when whiteys – who have been lectured for generations about their evil – are actually (allegedly!) “saying” stuff (to the extent the biased article claims)?
Either the doctors are actually impossible to understand, intolerably rude, or just incompetent – or some combination thereof. But no, it’s just racist whites. Uh huh.
“Mr Awah also claimed he had experienced patients telling him they cannot understand him, even though English is the only language he speaks.”
Yeah, and some people are hard to understand who live in my own country. What about it?
Now that we’re a half hour in, sports news Sloopy missed:

Dollars to doughnuts this story is coming out now in conjunction with some lobby group trying to get a law passed.
Sorry, bub, but if it’s not shame-based, it’s not gonna do squat.

How these people get to Belarus in the first place always seems unasked.
I skimmed that whole article, and no where did I see it mention the ethnicity of the “migrants.” Should we just assume Africa/Middle East?
I think the ones who Belarus let invade Poland in 2021 came from the Middle East via Turkey.
I’m not sure about the current batch.
“Nolan Wells’ friends have had enough of being accused online over his death … and they’re bringing in one of President Trump’s heavy hitters to fight back.

Guilt by association.
Good. Being falsely accused of a crime is defamation per se, which gets you punitive damages. To pile onto the punitives, malice can be shown by the use of the false accusation to raise money.
But if they can’t blame whitey for his death, how are they supposed to cash in?

Seems like she really ought to recuse.
I’m sure she’ll get right on that.
Perhaps I’m being overly judgemental (pun intended), but I would say that the parent of a convicted serial rapist should not be serving in any kind of legal or law enforcement capacity.
The sins of the father should not be visited upon the son, but it doesn’t go the other way around.

We jumped through all the hoops and filed all the paperwork, but HR had to justify their existance and complain about our already approved hiring plan.

Yeah, not sure when, why, or how HR got to be a substantive player in hiring and firing decisions.
We ended up having to reshuffle the org chart to satisfy their need to make the intermediate technical role also a supervisory one.

“The married self-help influencers behind the popular “Holistic Psychologist” empire preached peace and trauma recovery while boasting about their “throuple” lifestyle to millions of followers — until the third wheel in their relationship sued, claiming she was abused and cheated out of a fortune.
Clinical psychologist Nicole LePera, 43, and her spouse Lauren Galvin — creators of a mega-popular Instagram account and numerous books — are being sued by their former lover, Jenna Weakland, who claims she was erased from the brand and denied a $3.5 million payday when their Phoenix-area love nest fell apart….
“From there, Weakland’s role within the brand appeared to grow, with her notably appearing in a series of mainstay videos in which she would role-play the part of a daughter — typically while kneeling in pigtails and clutching a stuffed penguin — while LePera berated her as an emotionally abusive mother.”

This morning I bought and downloaded a just-released-today e-book novel, and just before the title page is a page solely devoted to the proud declaration “Human Authored.”
My favorite kind of book.

“Dr Anthony Fauci has been found in contempt of Congress and could now be referred to the Department of Justice for prosecution, in an escalation of the case against the top COVID doctor….
The night before the contempt vote, the Senate committee obtained Fauci’s COVID-era phone. It’s a major development in the Republican-led investigation of the doctor, and could be crucial to understanding how public health officials made decisions during the pandemic.”
https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-16028587/fauci-contempt-congress-prosecuted.html
I have contempt for both Fauci and Congress.
Not a Fauci fan but he was obviously speaking on advice of counsel. If they want to go after someone and they can back it up that’s who they should go after.
He only had 3 options:
1) Refuse to appear, which would be contempt
2) Testify, which would provide ammunition for state charges or even federal charges for himself and his cronies if the pardon is ever challenged
3) Plead the 5th, which MIGHT be contempt but which could also be contested
I’m no lawyer, but the 5th seems the least bad.
Yeah, he has a case that the Fifth was appropriate due to the possibility of state charges. However, refusing to answer questions for which there is no possible criminal exposure whatsoever is a good basis for contempt.
Naturally, nothing will come of it, because DC isn’t in the business of holding People Who Matter accountable.
Pepperidge Farm remembers when Eric Holder was found in contempt of Congress and nothing else happened.

Thursday’s vote was along party lines, and came after Fauci refused to answer lawmakers’ questions in a hearing last week about the government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, citing his Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination.
In an opening statement during that hearing, Fauci said that the committee’s chairman, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., has “an unhinged obsession” with him and suggested the hearing was convened in an attempt to trick Fauci into lying under oath.
Those MAGA psychos are dragging this hero through the mud.

And again nothing will happen.
It will ultimately be up to the Justice Department to decide whether to pursue a criminal prosecution of Fauci. While prosecutions are rare, two former Trump advisers — Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro — were imprisoned on contempt-of-Congress charges during the Biden administration.
Many Democrats now see a similar risk for Fauci, pointing to the prosecution of other former government officials whom President Trump is critical of, including his former FBI director, James Comey.
Bannon and Navarro are traitors, unlike Foochy.

How do we reach these bigots?
In other words, the challenge before the new left’s capacity to win outside its home turf of demographically diverse cities and college towns may not be so much one of message, and more one of messenger. Most of the social democratic proposals on tap today—higher taxes on the rich to fund universal health, child, and senior care; enhanced worker power and constraints on oligarchic power; greater public provision of necessities (e.g., governmental subsidies to first-time homebuyers) that are otherwise unaffordable—are largely popular across the economic and political spectrums. But such proposals meet resistance when they come from candidates and campaigns that the right can vilify as culturally alien and threatening (which the right tries to do, of course, to any candidate not on the right), and when the candidate is, in fact, culturally alien to a sector of the electorate. “Socialism” is only one marker of this outsider status; so are race, gender, national origin (if not of the candidates, then of their parents), religion, religiosity—hey, this is America, you know the story. So, for that matter, is “billionaire.” Depends on who you ask.
There is, of course, precisely nobody in these United States who isn’t alien, in this sense, to tens of millions of Americans. The challenge now before El-Sayed and the new left is to win enough support in those parts of Michigan’s body politic where he and that left are, in fact, exogeneous.
The message is perfectly reasonable and popular, but how do we overcome America’s kneejerk hatred of diversity?
If only communism had been proposed by a white male, then everyone would have embraced it.

Sob story
Officers eventually complied, rolling Descamps’ limp body in a wheelchair into the dark parking lot, where they covered him with a blanket against the winter cold. Police who gathered around Descamps can be heard voicing fear for his safety.
“Do you feel at all comfortable with anything that’s going on right now?” one police officer asked. Another officer answered, “No.”
Their fears proved justified. A short time after being discharged, Descamps would be dead of an overdose from street drugs already in his system. A spokesman for Providence Milwaukie Hospital declined NPR’s repeated requests for an interview about Descamps’ case and didn’t respond to detailed questions about his treatment.
In a statement issued to the media after Descamps’ death, the hospital expressed regret and acknowledged the care he received was inadequate. “In this case, we fell short of our goal of providing safe, reliable, compassionate care to our patient,” it said.
And this is why we need universal basic income, subsidized housing and unlimited free health care.
