[B][SIZE=2][COLOR="#FF0000"]Donald Trump and Glenn Beck Coordinate Message Attacking Obama Refugee and Economic Policies:[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B]
2.) DParker - 11/18/2015
Today's press release by the European Commission (the executive governing body of the European Union):
[URL="http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-15-6110_en.htm"]European Commission strengthens control of firearms across the EU[/URL]
Short version:
A group of international terrorists acquire military arms and ordnance from the black market (just like the goons who shot up Charlie Hebdo) and use them to shoot/blow up over 100 already disarmed civilians in Paris. The EC concludes that the only rational thing to do is to clamp down harder on those mostly disarmed and law-abiding citizens by further restricting a bunch of things that had absolutely nothing to do with the massacre.
[quote][LIST]
[*]Stricter rules to ban certain semi-automatic firearms, which will not, under any circumstance, be allowed to be held by private persons, even if they have been permanently deactivated;
[*]Tighter rules on the online acquisition of firearms, to avoid the acquisition of firearms, key parts or ammunition through the Internet;
[*]EU common rules on marking of firearms to improve the traceability of weapons;
[*]Better exchange of information between Member States, for example on any refusal of authorisation to own a firearm decided by another national authority, and obligation to interconnect national registers of weapons;
[*]Common criteria concerning alarm weapons (e.g. distress flares and starter pistols)in order to prevent their transformation into fully functioning firearms;
[*]Stricter conditions for the circulation of deactivated firearms;
[*]Stricter conditions for collectors to limit the risk of sale to criminals.
[/LIST][/quote]
Brilliant. It's always nice to be reminded that we in the U.S. don't hold a monopoly on that sort of "We must do something. This is something. Therefor, we must do this." pants-on-head stupidity.

I heard that Josh Earnest today was spouting off that the French have been successful bombing due to the intelligence given to them from the United State. So....um...if we knew where they were, why weren't we bombing them?

DP, did you see where Professor Popoff hopes to spend the rest of of his presidency prioritizing gun control (when he's not busy staying on the right track elsewhere, I suppose)?
You have to admit the man's a fast learner, if nothing else.

Eh...what does he care? His campaign worries are over, and the two dolts vying to be his heir are throwing themselves on that same political grenade already anyway. Quite frankly, I encourage both of them AND their party's members in Congress to keep pushing that agenda.

I see tonight that some moron down the road from me has Christmas lights up already...I guess when stores and ads are hyping Christmas before we've even had a chance to enjoy Halloween, there's no hope left for regular people anymore.
But then again, there might not be hope for regular people anymore, anyway...

If I knew how to embed a tweet image, I'd show you Hillary's strategy to defeat ISIS. As of now, all I know how to do is copy and paste the text, which doesn't look as good. :-)
Then again, her "strategy" doesn't look so good, either. I missed how simple it is amid all her babbling yesterday.
So, what the hell: From her campaign advisor, who I thought was supposed to be a fairly smart guy, for a flaming lefty---
[I]John Podesta
✔ @johnpodesta
Hillary's strategy to defeat Isis:
✓Defeat Isis in Syria & Iraq
✓Disrupt & dismantle terrorist infrastructure
✓Harden our defenses

Got that? The strategy to defeat ISIS is to defeat them, make things more difficult for them, and to protect ourselves better. The checkmarks make it extra strategic-y.
I don't know how these people find their shoes in the morning.

Kind of reminds me of how the beauty pageant gals come up with a plan to solve world hunger.
1. Come up with a plan.
2. Implement plan
They were playing clips of Hillary yesterday from a few years ago (maybe newer) saying muslims were of no threat to the United States.

Don't know about that quote, but YESTERDAY she said "Muslims...have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism."
That's an exact quote. I'd highlight [B]"nothing whatsoever"[/B] so it catches everybody's attention, but nobody's so stupid as to miss the stupidity here.
She also characterized ISIS as "criminals," which I suppose is an improvement on "misunderstood job-seekers" or some of the other stuff she could have come up with. (See Marie Harf, and the journalist who said the other day there's a possibility that any jihadis that infiltrate the country could come to like it here, work hard and become assimilated.)
But in more upbeat news, Jen Psaki has reemerged from the clown car she apparently locked herself in for the last few months. She said something in the last few days, but it sounded like popcorn farts to me so I didn't catch it. I'm sure she'll be back to noteworthy dumb-assery soon.

How about that Hillary campaign whiffing on the number of presidents we've had?
Or maybe somebody on the inside is secretly a feeling the Bern and sending subliminal messages? I think a lot of die-hard Dems would like to skip Hillary, delay the benefits of a woman in the White House (which I guarantee most can't articulate) one more cycle, but they just don't have the guts to call Hillary out for what she is.
On a more positive note: If you believe Hillary's stories, she's been rejected from the space program *and* the Marines on account of she self-identifies as a woman, so there are at least two areas of the government that are working as they should.
They say good luck comes in threes...

So I normally stay pretty quiet on the current events topic, especially in the political arena...but today I'm going to rant. :rage:
Two issues near and dear to my heart:
1) The current Administrations stance on gun control: In light of the latest fiasco of crazy in San Bernardino - everyone better dam well rally even more support for the NRA. As much as I hate to admit it; I think the time is here when we better start digging in and forming even stronger coalitions for gun rights between various hunting and outdoor groups.
2) The Transportation Bill: What are those $*)^&#%/ idiots thinking??? And shame on all of them; both parties alike - IMO, none of our so-called politicians care to draft a responsible bill that focuses on the direct issues at hand! All they can do is muddy the waters, cross-contaminate the issues with their own bloated BS and then point their crooked ass fingers at each other...[I]its ridiculous and nothing but a dam sham[/I]... Wasting funds on ‘hi- tech information sharing and communication,’ REALLY??? Sure, lets inform the public of which routes not to take, rather than fixing the dam issues to begin with…and that’s only one idiotic rider in that bill…I’ll spare listing the others. This is what happens when you have politicians, who think they are experts on a given topic, address the so called issues. It’s a sham.

All the comments from the Democratic presidential hopefuls have been about gun control. All the comments from the Republican presidential hopefuls have been about prayers and condolences.
I think the Democrats finally got this one right. I would like to see a gun ban for terrorists.

Well, all you have to do now is identify U.S. residents who intend to become terrorists *before* they've actually done anything, then figure out how the Constitution doesn't apply to them.

Professor Popoff didn't waste any time hopping on this, nor did Hillary. I enjoy the commenters who are twisted enough to say prayers won't help, but in the next breath demand gun control for people who are aren't the problem.
Gun control to solve attacks by the type of people who are building pipe bombs is a whole 'nother level of rich, too, but if I say that out loud I'll be accused of bullying mental defectives.

No, lots of people up in arms about that cover, which follows on the [I]DN's[/I] outrage that anyone (read "Republicans" ) would oppose using a government watchlist (which a 14-year-old can understand is overly broad and provides no due process) to infringe on Constitutional rights.
Unfortunately, the type of people who read the [I]Daily News[/I] are not known for being smarter than a 5th grader.
Today's [I]DN[/I] cover includes Wayne LaPierre's picture in a photo lineup of what the paper calls terrorists. Since their definition of a "terrorist" seems pretty loose based on that array, it's safe to say we're not talking about a high level of intelligence at the paper compared to the readers, either, but that's not much comfort, is it?
They've gone full moron:

To circle back on the college thing I promised (I'm gonna coin the phrase "WTFU" as a catch-all for this category, where U stands for "university") and to piggyback on DParker's excellent comment in another thread that many times a parody of the news is better and better-done than the news coverage that inspired it, I submit this for your amazement:
[I]We, the Students of Hamilton College, demand the end of the inevitable tokenization of all marginalized bodies at Hamilton College. Hamilton College cannot continue to overwhelmingly perpetuate narratives that center whiteness, able-bodied individuals, colonization, heteronormativity, and cisnormativity. The faculty, administration, staff, and student body at Hamilton College almost ubiquitously encompass a single population that continues the exclusion of historically underrepresented communities.
This syndrome produces a methodically unfair system that inhibits these underrepresented bodies from thriving. It becomes the duty of these select few to educate the masses, a burden that these individuals should not carry. The demands below address the flaws within our Institution and demand the immediate changes that must come about for true “Diversity and Inclusion” to be achieved.
[/I]
This is NOT the parody or satire, in case you were wondering. This is real.
And it goes downhill from there...On, and on, and on downhill. There is a link to the entire pompous rant...er, I mean "declaration"...in the article linked below if you want to gaze upon it.
(As an aside, this reminds me of the illiterate manifesto submitted by students in a graduate school class, I believe, designed to help students write clearly. (If you call it a remedial class, be prepared for blowback.) The professor's editorial advice for a student's paper, that the word "indigenous" --as in "indigenous people(s)"-- should not be capitalized, was proclaimed a macro-/micro-/nano-/whatever-aggression, and it which triggered a poop storm which led to the elderly teacher's resignation IIRC. The writing contained in the manifesto spoke volumes, and proved the need for the class. How the authors made it to college, let alone grad school, is a mystery to me.)
But to get back on track, I hope this brightens your day:

Well, that doesn't surprise me for two reasons:
1) Hamilton is a Liberal Arts School
2) Hamilton is considered a 'Little Ivy League' School
The kids that go to those types of colleges don't tend to become the engineers, business majors, accountants, legal advisors, architects, designers, administrators or manufacturing gurus that drive our economy...
Rich trust fund kids that don’t have to earn a living seem to be the majority of the students at those types of colleges.
I'm not saying that ridiculous things don't go on at other non Ivy League schools as well, we all know they do. I'm just trying to point out that there are still two types of college kids; the ones that understand the importance of their education and then there are the spoiled, entitled ones that are just baggage.
Just my .2 cents, OK, I'll shut up now.

"I've always wanted to pretend to be an architect"----George Costanza (to the best of my recollection)
Nothing wrong with a liberal arts school, or a liberal arts education. It should expose you to the great big world through the ages, and teach you to communicate clearly and think critically. Whether or where you can get that education these days is one question. And whether that's for everyone is another.
Ideally, you'd come out of high school with some of that, but I think we all know most don't.

Very well done video. Thanks for posting that. Especially on the anniversary of Pearl Harbor and the day after that lackluster and frankly embarrassing speech by the President last night.
I have a commentary on 0's speech, which I wrote last night and am letting steep for the day. It's a blow-by-blow, including the full text of the speech, so it takes up a lot of space. I'll post it late tonight if I'm still up, or early tomorrow, when I can have a shot of posting it in sections over "contiguous" consecutive boxes. It will be easier to read that way, LOL. Perhaps one or two people will be interested. :tap::wink
BTW, I remember that Reagan speech being reprinted in a magazine in the early 80's. Reading it doesn't have the same effect on you as listening to it does. Neither does reading it in your early 20's vs. coming across it again after you've been out in the world a bit.
It's something like 50 years old, and still as relevant as it was when he gave it.
Timeless, even.

Thanks L2, that was a real president.
97.) Swamp Fox - 12/07/2015
Okay, before Luv2's post gets too old, let me ask a question that I've wondered for a long time.
One of the most famous lines in the Reagan speech is "You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery."
It appears that way in the transcript, too, so we know he didn't misspeak. But "know and do not believe" is such an odd phrase (unless it's a reference I don't get) that I've always wondered about it. The rest of the line is a reference to Patrick Henry's Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death speech.
So after much puzzling when I first read the speech, I came to think that what "know and do not believe" means is that we [B]know[/B] that some people are willing to trade liberty for peace and life, [B]but[/B] (rather than "and") [B]we[/B] don't [B]believe [I][COLOR="#FF0000"]in[/COLOR][/I][/B] that ourselves.
Do you think I'm right, or does anyone have a different interpretation?
"As to be" sounds awkward to my ear as well, but I think I get the gist. Maybe speech patterns when Reagan and his speechwriter were coming up just sound a little antiquated or airy today from time to time. I would have written it very slightly differently, to convey that life and peace are [B]sometimes [/B]purchased at the price of chains and slavery, but not always, because as I read it today it doesn't say that. But I would think that logically, that would be the point to be made.
[I]Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death![/I] ---Patrick Henry

That is essentially how I read and understand it.
I was talking with my mother earlier today (she is 86 now) and she was telling me it doesn’t seem possible that 74 years has passed since the December 7th that changed life so drastically. It really made me stop and think about how much has happened in the time since the beginning of World War II...

Actually, unrehearsed and when he isn't doing his stand-up comedy act, Obama's truly awful. Stammering incoherence is being charitable oftentimes.
Of course, he sometimes likes to do his routine when talking about serious matters as well. So many insults for Republicans, so little time. He's pretty slick at that.
But I really don't know where his reputation as a great speaker came from in the first place, even off a telepropmter. His sing-song, nose-in-the-air lectures just tie my stomcach in a knot to the point that I can seldom watch or listen to him. I usually have to read his speeches to maintain calm.
I realize the media that pumped up the quality of his oratory were/are in love with him, but objectively there are plenty of speakers better than 0.

Considering that someone just edited it so he could explain it to me, I'd say maybe the benefit of editing is not 100% off the table. :wink
You put in an extra "not" in your first interpretation instead of channeling the original quote as-is, whereas I'm going to interpret below without adding or taking away positive or negatives. I do add an imagined third party to the negotiation, though, whereas you have found a way that you think limits the thought to just the "You and I" the author actually speaks of.
So you add something to the plain language and I do, too. Your addition is a word, while mine is a spirit. I think that means it's possible we're both right in our interpretations, or both wrong. LOL
I'll think some more about it and see if I come to agree with you and disagree with myself (What are the chances?!? :-)) because I can see just a bit of merit to your reading and think it's worth pondering a little longer.

The original: [I][B]You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery.[/B][/I]
On the first thought that the line inspires, here's you: [I]You and I know that life is [B]not [/B]so dear and peace so sweet, that we would keep them at the cost of chains and slavery.
[/I]
Here's me: [I]You and I know that [B][I]some[/I][/B] consider life so dear and peace so sweet that they would purchase them at the price of chains and slavery.[/I]
On the second inspiration, here's you: [I]You and I don't believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet we are willing to purchase them at the price of chains and slavery.
[/I]
Here's me: [I]You and I do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery.
[/I]
Just for the record: I actually [I]llke[/I] the original phrasing for its beauty. I just find it a little odd, and possibly a trade-off between being poetically airy (light, flowing, energizing) and being immediately accessible, clear and precise. I mean, if the two of us are fighting about it on the internet, what does that say? :wink:wave:
Considering that someone just edited it so he could explain it to me, I'd say maybe the benefit of editing is not 100% off the table. :wink
You put in an extra "not" in your first interpretation instead of channeling the original quote as-is, whereas I'm going to interpret below without adding or taking away positive or negatives. I do add an imagined third party to the negotiation, though, whereas you have found a way that you think limits the thought to just the "You and I" the author actually speaks of.
So you add something to the plain language and I do, too. Your addition is a word, while mine is a spirit. I think that means it's possible we're both right in our interpretations, or both wrong. LOL
I'll think some more about it and see if I come to agree with you and disagree with myself (What are the chances?!? :-)) because I can see just a bit of merit to your reading and think it's worth pondering a little longer.
("Well now you're just being conciliatory!" :wink:-):wink)

A suspected burglar jumped in a Florida lake apparently hiding from law enforcement before an 11-foot alligator killed him, investigators said Monday. His hand and foot reportedly turned up inside the animal's stomach.

Brevard County Sheriff's Maj. Tod Goodyear says 22-year-old Matthew Riggins told his girlfriend he would be in Barefoot Bay to commit burglaries with another suspect. Authorities received calls Nov. 13 about two suspicious men in black walking behind homes and investigated. Riggins was reported missing the next day.
Goodyear said sheriff's divers recovered Riggins' body 10 days later in a nearby lake, and that the injuries suggested the alligator had pulled him below the surface. [B]"He hid in the wrong place," resident Laura Farris told Bay News 9.[/B]

How do you accidentally kill one bear over your limit of one? I know she's from Kansas so she was using fingers and toes to count but...

Knowing the laws first hand, doing your homework, using common sense and relying on no one (except the guide to get you in front of the animal) is the only way to make sure you don't get caught in a bad spot. I bet the outfitter takes the fall and she skates without a legal scratch.

I would think she'd at least get dinged for making false statements on any tags/forms she signed or punched, but I think odds are that the outfitter faces more and/or stiffer charges. I think it's in court now, or soon. My guess is a small fine for her and a bigger fine for him. He didn't sound too worried about it in the video.
I haven't heard about this one blowing up Facebook or Twitter, oddly enough, so maybe the Internet Social Justice Warriors don't watch George Snuffleupagus...

This is rich: [I]NY Times [/I]report on Defense Secretary Ash Carter's occasional early use of private email for gov't business.
Buried in the middle of the article is this fanciful claim (emphasis mine):
"[I]It is not clear how many work-related emails Mr. Carter sent and received from his personal account. Mrs. Clinton has said she sent and received roughly 30,000 work-related emails exclusively on her personal account over the four years she was secretary of state. [B]There was no prohibition at the State Department on the exclusive use of a private server, although the practice was highly unusual.[/B][/I]"
Far, far away, way down toward the end of the somewhat lengthy piece, we find this, if we're still reading (Again, emphasis mine.):
"[I]The email practices of senior administration officials have come under increased scrutiny since the disclosures about Mrs. Clinton’s private account. An inspector general has said there was classified “Top Secret” information on Mrs. Clinton’s private account — [B]having classified government material outside a secure government account is illegal [/B]— and the F.B.I. is investigating.
[/I]"
Not the most blatant obfuscation, misdirection and butt-covering for the administration and Clinton in particular that you'll ever see, but I thought it was of some interest on a slow HuntingCountry news day.

There's a new fireams marketplace in town....I wonder if Jonathan Gruber and Zeke Emanuel had anything to do with this egg-heads' Turkish bazaar?
Guess which party the legislation's sponsor belongs to?
[I]Safer Neighborhoods Gun Buyback Act, which was reintroduced this week by Rep. Donald Payne Jr. [Party affiliation and state redacted for your discussion and amusement] is the latest attempt by [political party redacted] to address gun violence. The bill has 22 co-sponsors.
"Although no one piece of legislation will eliminate all gun violence, this bill will get guns off the streets and keep them out of the hands of people who wish to cause harm,” Payne said. "If we can get one gun off the street, if we can save one life, then we have to take action.”
The voluntary gun buyback proposal resembles legislation offered by earlier this year by Rep. Rosa DeLauro [Party affilaiation and state redacted] that sought to pay gun owners to turn over assault weapons to the federal government.
Both pieces of legislation are virtually certain to go nowhere in the [party identification redacted]-controlled Congress.
[B]As part of Payne's $360 million gun buyback initiative, the Justice Department would pay gun owners a premium of 25 percent more than the market value of their firearms.
[/B][/I]
[Emphasis mine.]
As part of the brilliance of this bill, you don't get 25 % more cash than you would in a normal sale, because then you could just sell these clowns your old unwanted guns and buy firearms and ammo you want more. No, they've thought of that. So the brain-trust proposes to give you a debit card that you can use on pretty much whatever you want, but which disallows spending on guns and ammo.
That seems like it will work. It's not like anybody has any cash or credit to buy guns with once they've bought their groceries with the Genius Party debit card.

[I]Safer Neighborhoods Gun Buyback Act, which was reintroduced this week by Rep. Donald Payne Jr. [Party affiliation and state redacted for your discussion and amusement] is the latest attempt by [political party redacted] to address gun violence. The bill has 22 co-sponsors.
"Although no one piece of legislation will eliminate all gun violence, this bill will get guns off the streets and keep them out of the hands of people who wish to cause harm,” Payne said. "If we can get one gun off the street, if we can save one life, then we have to take action.”
The voluntary gun buyback proposal resembles legislation offered by earlier this year by Rep. Rosa DeLauro [Party affilaiation and state redacted] that sought to pay gun owners to turn over assault weapons to the federal government.
Both pieces of legislation are virtually certain to go nowhere in the [party identification redacted]-controlled Congress.
[B]As part of Payne's $360 million gun buyback initiative, the Justice Department would pay gun owners a premium of 25 percent more than the market value of their firearms.
[/B][/I]
[Emphasis mine.]
As part of the brilliance of this bill, you don't get 25 % more cash than you would in a normal sale, because then you could just sell these clowns your old unwanted guns and buy firearms and ammo you want more. No, they've thought of that. So the brain-trust proposes to give you a debit card that you can use on pretty much whatever you want, but which disallows spending on guns and ammo.
That seems like it will work. It's not like anybody has any cash or credit to buy guns with once they've bought their groceries with the Genius Party debit card.

Also, keep an eye out for the economists on our side who will oppose this because "It will create a black market for these debit cards." I'm sure they'll make an appearance somewhere.
If the cards truly can be used for anything except guns and ammo, I don't see a whole lot of people paying face value-- much less a premium--or anticipate many stupid enough to sell at a discount, LOL.
There's a reason you shouldn't get out of high school without as good a grasp of Econ 101 as you have on getting a condom over a cucumber.

So I'm going to change the immediate topic a bit; but it is a current event that is huge. (However, this event is not a derogatory, shit-flinging political topic, so most of the media is not putting it first and foremost. As usual, anything that is not inflammatory and negative seems to get second page coverage at best…which IMHO, is a mistake, because this development will have profound effects on the future of the world. But I save that rant for another day…)
Anyway, has anyone been following SpaceX and their company's program? (SpaceX is a space delivery company.) If you haven't; you should do a little reading up on them...[U]huge [/U]development within the last couple of days as they have achieved getting the first stage rocket back to earth and successfully landing it. They've suffered some set backs in the past, but this latest development is tremendous and will push further developments into space exploration and eventual colonization.
Hang tight Luv2…you’ll be building highways on Mars, and I’ll be constructing ‘gravity free’ sewer and water systems LOL. :lol:
Or rather, our kids probably will be doing that.

Things like SpaceX are the future of commercial (and to some extent even government) use of Earth-orbit space, so I wish them all the best.

[I]There have been reports of more clowns in more cities spotted lurking in the woods.
In the past month, police in the Carolinas have received multiple reports from people claiming clowns with white-painted faces were acting strangely in the area – at least once attempting to lure kids into the woods with money.
The reports have fueled speculation that the sightings could be a hoax, or possibly even morbid fans trying to promote the 2017 movie release of Stephen King's It, about an evil clown known as Pennywise that terrorized a group of young boys.
One local TV station wondered if Rob Zombie's upcoming film, about a group of kidnapped carnival workers, might be involved in guerrilla marketing – but the distributor said they were not.

[B]Vegetarians Are Not Happy About The UK’s New Animal Fat-Filled Money[/B]
Strict vegetarians in the United Kingdom may find their currency options becoming more limited.
The Bank of England said on Twitter Sunday that the new plastic £5 note, which entered circulation in September, contains “trace” amounts of animal fat in the form of tallow.

Strict vegetarians in the United Kingdom may find their currency options becoming more limited.
The Bank of England said on Twitter Sunday that the new plastic £5 note, which entered circulation in September, contains “trace” amounts of animal fat in the form of tallow.
An online petition is demanding that the bank stop using tallow in the bill’s production, noting it could be a problem for millions of vegetarians, including those, like Jains and some Hindus, who eschew meat for religious reasons. As of Tuesday, the petition had more than 65,000 signatures.
Some Hindu leaders in the U.K. are planning to discuss banning the new notes from temples, the BBC reports.
The Bank of England is touting the new notes, which feature former Prime Minister Winston Churchill, as being stronger, longer lasting and more secure than paper money. They plan to roll out a polymer 10-pound note, featuring author Jane Austen, in 2017 and a new 20-pound note featuring artist JMW Turner by 2020.
UPDATE: Nov. 11 ― The Bank of England has said they are looking into “potential solutions” to the animal fat problem, according to the BBC.

I saw that story somewhere else recently, so if folks who don't subscribe to the WSJ want to read about this, they can probably find it with a search. However, I recommend a WSJ subscription for anyone who wants to read a national newspaper that isn't full of crap :tu: or just wants access to linked articles, since many other outlets link to the Journal.
The article made me wonder something I've been wondering for a while: Why do we never hear of any PR, propaganda or psy-ops we're targeting for our foes? I don't need to know the details and the home addresses of the agents and staffers. I would just like to know that we ARE addressing various JV teams and other "symbols of the struggle for justice in the shadow of empire," because it seems like President Redline pretty much dropped the ball on that kind of thing. :re:

"In case you missed it":
This has to be one of the best interviews I've seen of one of the Notorious Weasels who make the rounds on cable news doing impersonations of mushroom farmers driving manure spreaders. (Loyal readers might remember I called Schiff a weasel months ago, somewhere deep down in the Benghazi thread. I only point this out to suggest that Tucker may be reviewing the forum from time to time to keep his fingers on the pulse, LOL)
I looked around and couldn't find a clip that went long enough to catch Tucker saying at the very end, "And coming up at the end of the show, we'll have our puppet-master, Vladimir Putin" [paraphrasing]. But the look on Adam Schiff's face at the end of what is here is Amex Platinum.
If you're short on time, catch the last three or four minutes, but do stay to catch the look. :grin:

LOL...I saw something the other day about Chinese name jokes...I don't remember where or what the context was, except it went through a fairly long history. The part that stuck with me was from military aviation where the phrase "Wing Tu Lo" or maybe the abbreviation WTL means something significant, LOL. Anyway, it had its origin in some quirk of Asian airplanes or Asian flying back in the day. Wish I'd paid closer attention to what I was reading and where, now. LOL
If I happen to run across it again, I'll link it.
In the meantime, to brighten everyone's day, some aviation humor:

I have at least two questions: One, does anyone know the exact gun-related charge that was brought against him (and/or what he pleaded to) and two, how is it that in the course of things he's forced to forfeit all his guns as part of the plea agreement?

I believe the charge was criminal possession by a prohibited person, which suggests that he has a felony conviction on his record (though I can't find any specifics on that), and would also explain the forfeiture. I also managed to find a leaked photo of Chumlee and his dad conferring with with an attorney on the matter:

I think that's actually where he got his nickname. Heard that somewhere at some point.
The prior felony conviction idea makes sense, though I wish journalists would at least mention a small detail like that (if that's the case) instead of just writing that "Oh, by the way, forfeiting your guns is a perfectly normal part of how this works."
"That's not how it works. That's not how any of this works!"

I have felt bad in the past for occasionally saying something similar about him (at least once on here) but have never felt the need to take anything back. I'm not an automatic McCain hater, either. I agree with him on some things and seriously disagree on others.
I didn't watch this go-round, but can imagine, from some written reports which I've skimmed this afternoon.
Here's one mildly amusing/informative account:

Speaking of having no words, how about having no place to say them?...LOL
I looked around a little bit at the coverage of the shooting of Philando Castile and the subsequent acquittal of the officer who killed him and quickly lost patience with the cesspools that are most comments sections. The NRA hate is strong out there, and of course 95% of that comes from the usual suspects, so you'd have to dig deep for any smart criticism of the group's non-reaction (so far). The police fan-boy contingent has shown up as well, but I suspect some of the buses broke down on the way to the Forum, or they lost a few riders at the last Cracker Barrel, since the chanting from that side of the street seems a bit muted in this case.
I haven't been to the firearms blogs to any real extent. I'm just talking about the mainstream outlets. I can't say there's much improvement at conservative sites, either, especially if they use Facebook for commenting. I'm not sure how all that works, but I've learned that if you let your comments section be accessed through Facebook it's a sure way to kill it, intelligence-wise. There are places I just can't go anymore :rage:, LOL.
My count-down clock has the NRA coming out with a statement tomorrow, finally, after being scorched thus far for their near-silence. No predictions on how suitable or acceptable their position will be, except that it won't make everyone happy.
Also, as a side note, I'm a little surprised that Gun Owners Of America hasn't said anything (at least that I've found) since they are a bit more forward-leaning.
You'd like to think that both groups are taking a slow and measured approach to composing their thoughts before revealing them, now that all the facts that are ever going to be available are actually available, but I wonder.
On a semi-related note:
I'm debating whether we should use this thread to flag notable comment section episodes elsewhere (brawls, idiocy, intelligent discussions, unicorn sightings, etc.) as they arise on different topics, just so we don't have to waste our time surfing the cesspool for something interesting, or whether we should have a separate thread for that.

What part of "Don't reach!" is hard to understand?[/QUOTE]
Well, that's where the trouble starts, isn't it?
Castile had still to produce the license, from what I understand, as he had only given his insurance card at that point. Despite commentators to the contrary, I think "it" clearly means "the gun" rather than the license when the officer says "Don't reach for it" (or words to that effect) three times.
But maybe everything's not "clearly" evident when you're under stress or have been smoking marijuana. Maybe you think everything's still cool if you reach for your license which you were asked for, as long as you don't reach for the gun which you politely told the officer you had.
Since we can't see into the car, we don't know that he was reaching for anything, in the first place.
I'm not sure why a passenger is being asked for his license anyway, in this situation. I can understand asking a passenger for the insurance card if he's the owner of the vehicle and the state requires it be in possession (though plenty of states get along just fine without requiring drivers to produce their insurance documents at traffic stops).
Seems like a better command would have been: "Okay, hands on the dashboard. Forget about the license. Ma'am, show me YOUR license." Etc.
But of course that is all Monday-morning quarterbacking.
[Edit: I've seen some stuff this afternoon that indicates Castile was the driver. When the incident first happened, the girlfriend's video made it appear that he was in the passenger seat, and I'm not the only one under this impression. I really haven't been able to nail down the facts after having looked at a few news reports, but there seems to be some weight behind the idea that he was driving when pulled. I'd appreciate a link to a definitive source.]
[Update: I finally found a link to the criminal complaint against the officer late last night. From it, we learn that Castile was the driver.

How the girlfriend's video seems to show him and his seat belt in the passenger seat (dead or dying) I still don't know, but it does. I'll let people look up the video and screen grabs for themselves, but if anyone knows the answer to this, clue me in.]

311.) Swamp Fox - 06/21/2017
Two upsides to being scrutinized here: Cops can be trained to handle stops better, and maybe the random gun safety training/civil rights organization that's in your mailbox every two weeks can figure out how to develop the dash-cam video into what everybody likes to call "a teachable moment."

If you read the court description of the event, the driver had no license, it was revoked so he wasn't reaching for something he didn't have. He was reaching and making the cop nervous for his life. He had already given the cop his vehicle paperwork so no other reaching was required ESPECIALLY after being told numerous times to STOP REACHING.
Sad that someone had to die, sad that the cop now has to live with the grief and sad that the guy's family had to bury him. Listen to direction, don't give a cop any reason to fear for his/her life and you'll be just fine.

I agree with this, although I’d point out the following from the reliable information that’s available to me. [Jon, if you have a link to the info you’re referring to, I’d appreciate it.—Thx.]
If we assume he was reaching for something (and the audio includes Castile’s and the girlfriend’s statements that he is not reaching for “it”, although there is no video) it could have been his wallet or anything else that he was trying to get. I think it’s fair to say somebody might reach for ID even if he or she didn’t have a valid driver’s license.
I doubt he’s reaching for the gun, at least not in a menacing way, because 1) that doesn’t jibe with him having just told the officer he was carrying and his statement that he is not reaching for “it” and 2) the officer’s partner describes movements that I don’t think are consistent with someone who is trying to get his pistol out of a right front pocket while seated behind a steering wheel. (See my link in 302).
I don’t know that the movements are consistent with trying to get your wallet out of your right rear pocket, either, but we don’t know what pocket his wallet was in at all (could have been the left rear, say, which would make the movements more appropriate) because they didn’t keep track of that on the scene or at the hospital.
In any event, the officer’s command of “Don’t reach for it” could have been clearer, was misunderstood, or was ignored. It’s hard to believe that a clear-thinking person would ignore an order deliberately if he understood it, and this is the problem. Getting stopped by the police is stressful. Your mind can go blank. You can say stupid stuff. You can be a boyscout and still be rattled.
Also, Castile may have been high. There was THC in his system, but that doesn’t mean he had just been smoking or was under the influence, as most people should know. I’m not aware of any testimony that says he had just been smoking or was impaired, but I’m happy to receive such if it exists.
“But the officer says he smelled burned marijuana!” And if Castile doesn’t account for the smell of marijuana in the car, you can look to the girlfriend. Based on her reaction and videotaping escapade immediately after the shooting, while her boyfriend is bleeding out mere feet from her, there are four possibilities: She’s so high she can hunt ducks with a rake; she’s a sociopath; she’s in shock; or all three.
So everybody agrees that there might have been problems inside the car, but only the ones who were there know for sure.
Many police procedure experts and anyone with some common sense can see there were problems outside the car as well, and have said so. It’s not sufficient that a cop is nervous to allow shooting someone, just the same way many want to say it’s not sufficient for Castile to have been stressed or disoriented to absolve him of whatever his actions were.
There are several layers of requirements for “reasonable fear” and “imminent danger” and all that to consider in the use of lethal force, and if people want to discuss it I’ll throw some stuff out there. Bottom line is that just because an officer is under stress or has some fear doesn’t justify shooting a man who’s trying to do the right thing and just told you he has a weapon.

BTW, somebody give Jim Acosta a chill pill. He's gonna have a stroke.
The NYT and WaPo and a few others I could think of if I had some time are really embarrassing themselves lately. Really sloppy when they're not flat-out dishonest.

Before Monday, before the 911 call and police investigation, Pedro Ruiz III, an aspiring YouTube star in rural Minnesota, spent considerable time persuading his girlfriend to fire a gun at his chest.
There would be a thick encyclopedia between the muzzle and his body, authorities say he told 19-year-old Monalisa Perez. The pages, he reasoned, would stop the bullet.
He even had evidence that it had worked once before — a different book with an entrance hole but no exit.
So on Monday evening, the young couple positioned two cameras outside their home and prepared for their breakthrough stunt. They wanted fame, family said, and danger often brings it.
“Me and Pedro are probably going to shoot one of the most dangerous videos ever,” Perez teased in a tweet at 5 p.m. “HIS idea not MINE.”
It had been three months since the young couple added their vlog, La MonaLisa, to YouTube, where they posted clips of their daily lives and their 3-year-old daughter. They live in Halstad, Minn., a tiny town on the North Dakota border between Grand Forks and Fargo. Episodes featured shots from their home, the car or at the doctor’s office, which is where Perez revealed in May that she was pregnant with a boy.
Their shtick, though, was pulling minor pranks: doughnuts with baby powder instead of powdered sugar, feigning paralysis from a grocery store wheelchair, hiding hot peppers on an egg salad sandwich. Just this week, Perez posted a video of Ruiz doing a handstand inside a rotating fun house tunnel at the county fair.
But the bullet and book stunt was supposed to be their moment.
“I said, ‘Don’t do it, don’t do it,’ ” Ruiz’s aunt, Claudia Ruiz, told her nephew when he shared his idea, according to Valley News Live. “Why are you going to use a gun? Why?”
His response, she said, was simple: “Because, we want more viewers.”
With one camera attached to a ladder and the other propped on the back of a car, the couple staged their stunt, according to authorities. Ruiz held the book to his chest and Perez held the gun, a gold [B][SIZE=4][SIZE=6]Desert Eagle .50-caliber pistol[/SIZE][/SIZE][/B] considered “one of the most powerful semiautomatic handguns in the world.”
From a foot away, court documents say, Perez fired.
This time, the bullet didn’t stop in the book but instead pierced Ruiz in the chest. Medics tried to revive him, authorities said, but he was declared dead at the house.

Rush is much better on that last point especially. He's an original thinker, or at least presents things in original ways.

This woman seems to have made a remarkable recovery. I suppose it’s possible Obamacare is what saved her, but I would fact-check any such claims. In any event, she somehow was able to hop, crawl or mosey on over to CNN today to promote the next Lefty Women’s March and its list of three demands of the NRA.
One of those is straightforward footstomping, the second complete nonsense (both regarding a recent NRA ad), and the third is a call for a statement on the Philando Castile shooting. Reasonable people can argue for a statement or none. Dana Loesch made some comments today in an head-to-head with Mallory that some are taking as an official NRA statement.
Loesch says she’s speaking for the “NRA membership.” I hate to say it, but I think it’s even odds that before the week is out we’ll find that whether you like what Loesch said or not, that will not be the NRA official statement.

Well, I guess I was wrong about the NRA (again). I've heard nothing reining in Dana Loesch's statement (or supporting it from a higher level for that matter). Looks like the NRA prefers the "ignore it and maybe it will go away" approach in this instance.
If somebody has different information, let me know.

[QUOTE]Hillary Clinton may have written the best book of the year ― if you go by the reviews on Amazon.
“What Happened,” the former Democratic presidential nominee’s tell-all about the 2016 presidential race, currently boasts an average rating of 4.8 stars out of 5.
But that wasn’t always the case.
According to Zero Hedge, the number of one- and five-star reviews garnered by the book were roughly equivalent as late as Wednesday afternoon, giving “What Happened” an average rating of about 3 out of 5 stars.
An Amazon spokesperson said measures have been taken to ensure the reviews being left are authentic.

Now, about 95 percent of customers who left a review that wasn’t deleted gave the book 5 stars out of 5.

[B][SIZE=2]Sorry, Internet, The Vikings Were Not Actually Muslim[/SIZE][/B]
[QUOTE]There is actually zero in this find that makes the case the wearer had a clue that the hidden Arabic text was anything other than a design. And the idea that the Vikings got the idea of Valhalla from Islam is so bizarre that one can’t even laugh about it.
...
In this case, it is trying to build a narrative of the Vikings being heavily influenced by Islam in order to construct an argument that it is hypocritical of modern Scandinavians to not want to be overwhelmed by Islamic immigrants. Nevermind the cultural differences that have arisen in the intervening centuries.
A lot of historical research runs on two principles. First, it forgets the “absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.” If you want a great example of how that oversight freakin set back the study of pre-Columbian America, read about the efforts of the proponents of the Clovis culture. Secondly, “post hoc ergo propter hoc” is not a logical fallacy but an organizing principle. For instance, for quite a long time it was axiomatic that trade routes in the Mediterranean followed the shoreline, that ancient sailors did not venture beyond sight of land (apparently, ‘hey, y’all, hold my beer and watch this’ was not a thing back then). Why did we believe that? Because all the shipwrecks were near the shore. Why was that? Well, rocks have a bad effect on ships and, most importantly, exploration was limited to areas that could be reached by divers. Now, with side scan sonar and other developments, we are discovering ancient wreck in very deep water in the Mediterranean and Black Sea. So fuzzy thinking was a significant problem for historians long before the SJWs decided to own the past.

[B]Police: 'No evidence' of excessive force in Michael Bennett incident[/B]
Police said Friday that they found "no evidence" that officers used excessive force in detaining Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett during an August incident in Las Vegas and that they had reasonable suspicion to make the stop.
Bennett has accused police officers of racial profiling, saying they pointed guns at him and used excessive force in the incident, which occurred outside a nightclub after the Aug. 26 fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor.

I haven't heard the whole story. Cops say they detained him because he was running. He says he was running.
I've seen reports that he was running despite police instructions for everyone to get down. I've haven't heard those instructions at that point in the video, haven't seen him running, and no one else was on the ground. In fact, there's quite a lot of people just milling around.
I'd like to know how fast he was running, because no one else in the videos I've seen is on a mad dash.
I wouldn't doubt police detained him because he was running. What the heck would you do? Gosh!
What if he was just jogging, though? Walking fast? Skipping a little?
What if this is all three-dimensional chess to distract from Trump's tweets?

[B]Spam heists in Hawaii prompt retailers to put the wildly popular ‘mystery meat’ in locked cases[/B]

Last month in the Pearl City community on Oahu, Safeway customer Arlene Sua watched as a man suddenly grabbed eight cases of Spam and headed for the door. She thought “‘Okay, this isn’t real. No, he’s not going to take it, no, no,” she told KHON TV.
But it was real. The man took off with the Spam and disappeared.
Elsewhere on the island at about the same time, three women loaded up shopping carts at a Long’s drugstore with 18 cases of — you guessed it — Spam. They made a rush for the exit.

A shop at a downtown mall wasn’t so lucky. The Honolulu Police Department is now offering a $1,000 reward for a man (and an apparent accomplice) who entered a store on Oct. 3, grabbed a case of Spam and punched a security guard who attempted to stop him.
Police reported that the thief “fled in an unknown direction.”

Last month in the Pearl City community on Oahu, Safeway customer Arlene Sua watched as a man suddenly grabbed eight cases of Spam and headed for the door. She thought “‘Okay, this isn’t real. No, he’s not going to take it, no, no,” she told KHON TV.
But it was real. The man took off with the Spam and disappeared.
Elsewhere on the island at about the same time, three women loaded up shopping carts at a Long’s drugstore with 18 cases of — you guessed it — Spam. They made a rush for the exit. Fortunately, an alert customer, Kurt Fevella, saw the attempted heist in progress, stationed himself at the door on Spam patrol and stopped them in their tracks. They shoved the carts toward at him and took off, Fevella told KITV4.

The contacts shed new light on how closely tied the firm was to Russian interests, at a time when it was financing research to discredit then-candidate Donald Trump.

[quote]Because an officer’s memory of an event may be altered by watching body camera footage, doing so will likely alter what officers write in their reports.

First off, the use of the word "surveillance" is grossly misleading, as this isn't about surreptitious monitoring for the purpose of discovering illegal activity. It's about recording interactions between cops and the public for the purpose of having proof of what actually happened, and/or learning from such incidents later. And so long as the rates of crime are disproportionately higher in certain communities, those communities will...and should...be subject to higher rates of interaction with the po-po.

To paraphrase Jeff Foxworthy, "If you use the word "nuancing," you might be a pretentious clownbag squeeb."

It slides down with a pantload of "nuancing" and "layering" through a tar pit of liberal identity politics gobbledegook 'til we land here:
Nuance? The way you just explained that ‘nuance’ is very different from the original statement..willing to see innocent men accused vs now you’re not ok with it? You’re just ok with the possibility of it?

I guess this is why people announce threads. I am definitely interested in nuancing around this point (re: how it works on campuses, race, other factors) - Thanks to those of you who are doing that. https://t.co/jlO1cV0wvM

Hello. This was Emmett Till. A white woman accused him of sexual misconduct (whistling at her) and he got executed because of a false allegation.

But muh women's autonomy tho. pic.twitter.com/CdX5iQ58KS
(Actually, Till was lynched: Beaten, mutilated, shot in the head and thrown in the Tallahatchie River, from which his body was not recovered for three days, but who's concerned about details?)
Anyway, we then stumble to here:

and there's some more after that, but basically the scene closes on Emily with her head stuck in the banister, claiming everything's alright and that people weren't catching all the proper semantics, but thank you to all the "real people" who replied to help with all the "nuancing" she wanted to do to "move the conversation forward."
To paraphrase Jeff Foxworthy, "If you use the word "nuancing," you might be a pretentious clownbag squeeb." And if she thinks there was any nuance involved in her argument, she's definitely an illiterate moron who probably shouldn't pursue a career as a writer too much longer. I suspect she doesn't know what "nuance" and "semantics" mean.
I caught exactly two replies (out of hundreds) in support of her, and they both looked like the type of little progweasels who would like to take her out for a mocha latte, tell her about how woke they are, and try to get in her pants.

That's some pretty crazy nuancing there guys. It's always nice to see a libtard get it handed to them. Not sure I even understood what the hell she was saying but anywho...
This hearkens back to a simpler time of running home from school to eat a snack, throw the football around and watch Susan Dey.

It really was an epic fail, but I'm a little surprised she didn't get scorched worse than she did. It's possibly because the sisterhood and its male hangers-on didn't show up to make her argument even more stupider. Maybe they're over there now, though. I'm sure I won't be able to resist peeking at some point today.
Even though no one showed up to man the barricades with her, so to speak, several of her tweets got a disturbing amount of likes, so I don't assume she's the only person who's willing to see innocent men crushed if it means dismantling the patriarchy.

[QUOTE]President BARACK OBAMA was invited to address a major gathering of the American Indian Nation two weeks ago in upstate New York.
He spoke for almost an hour about his plans for increasing every Native American's present standard of living. He referred to his time as a U.S. Senator and how he had voted for every Native American issue that came to the floor of the Senate.
Although President Obama was vague about the details of his plans, he seemed most enthusiastic and spoke eloquently about his ideas for helping his "Red sisters and brothers".
At the conclusion of his speech, the Tribes presented Obama with a plaque inscribed with his new Indian name, "Walking Eagle".
The proud President Obama accepted the plaque and then departed in his motorcade to a fundraiser, waving to the crowds.
A news reporter later asked the group of chiefs how they came to select the new name they had given to the President. They explained that "Walking Eagle" is the name "given to a bird so full of shit it can no longer fly."[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE][SIZE=2][B]Vox's puritan Christmas party wouldn't be so funny if its writers hadn't dumped on the Pence Rule so much[/B]
[/SIZE]
This isn’t so much a defense of Vice President Mike Pence’s personal rule that he will not meet alone with any woman who is not his wife, as it is a celebration of a pretty humorous self-own.
Vox Media announced in a company memo this week that its staff would be limited to two drinks at this year’s Christmas party.
The reason is clear: They don’t want to run the risk of employees having too much to drink and doing things that could later be categorized as sexual misconduct. After all, Vox is still dealing with the fallout from firing Lockhart Steele, the company's editorial director, following allegations he sexually harassed a former employee.
[...]
This is all a bit infantilizing, and it suggest Vox’s brass holds a dim view of its staff. But whatever. Whatever works for them works for them.
What makes this entire episode particularly amusing is the fact that the media group that doesn’t trust its staff to behave themselves after two drinks is the same group that owns a site that has published a whole bunch of thinkpieces decrying the so-called "Pence Rule."
[...]
The funny thing is: When you place them side by side, Vox’s two-drink rule is the same damn thing as the Pence Rule. At the heart of it, both rules are based on the premise that humans are fallen and that we’re better off setting up strict guardrails to protect against situations which could potentially lead to dishonor and ruination.
Just as Pence does, Vox is protecting its employees against the occasion of sin. There is one difference, though: Pence makes the choice for himself!

Here's Drury taiking about his accident. Sounds like the step pulled out from a damaged tree. Old set, and the farm manager checked it at some point this year, but either missed the problem or storm damage occurred after the check. I think he has five broken ribs, a broken vertebra and some other damage. Fell on his heavy pack, which he was wearing, 17 feet or so, he says.
Worth listening to if you have nothing else to do, LOL, but there's not much more to it than that.

I like the idea of the wingman but I doubt you could get me back in a traditional harness for any reason.
Keep slack out of your tether and you don't have to worry about 95% of the scenarios people dream up. You'd need an extraordinary amount of slack to tip over sideways in any meaningful way for any length of time. Remember that the harness doesn't hold you as if it's tied to the middle of a solid, inflexible stick or rod; it pulls you into a semi-sitting position with your weight (upper body) up top and facing the anchor.
I know people have tried to do it to make a point, but I've never heard of anyone successfully showing how a rock harness---even with the maximum amount of slack we hunters would possibly have --is going to put someone in a horizontal or upside-down position.

My guess is inertia. It's easier to to what you've always done. Rock harnesses have only been around in somewhat current form since the 60s. I'm not sure about arborists harnesses (same basic concept, but a lot heavier, if not sturdier). I prolly should go look that up for grins and giggles.
By contrast, I can think of four-point harnesses in use way back, at least to the early 20th century. Think emergency parachute harnesses of early aviators, for example.
In an industrial setting, you (usually? always?) have someone or some equipment to help you when you get stuck dangling in your five-point harness. In sport climbing or arborist work, you often don't. So I'm guessing getting attached and left to hang in the back between your shoulder blades was off the table pretty early in the brainstorming session, when those groups got together to shoot the breeze.

What are you tied to up there? Some type of line run across the roof, or individual anchors?
I was reading some stuff a while back where some firefighters were all flustered about how they were going to get a guy out of a tree after his treestand collapsed. They were talking about humping ladders through the woods to get up above the guy.
You can imagine how well that was going to work. Eventually a guy with rope climbing or rope rescue training set them straight a little bit, but you can imagine that if the damn fire department or EMS guys have to be specially trained to get you out of a jam, (and that training isn't all that common), you might as well figure out how to do it yourself, LOL.

(CNN) — White House press secretary Sarah Sanders isn't a big fan of the media.
Which is, of course, her right. The relationship between any White House and any press corps tasked with covering that White House is almost always fraught and fractious.
But, on Monday, Sanders made an accusation that went way, way beyond the pale of the usual give and take between White House and press corps. Here's what she said:
[I]"There's a very big difference between making honest mistakes and purposefully misleading the American people. Something that happens regularly. You can't say -- I'm not done. You can't say that it's an honest mistake when you are purposely putting out information that you know to be false or when you're taking information that hasn't been validated, that hasn't been offered any credibility and that has been continually denied by a number of people including people with direct knowledge of an incident. This is something that -- I'm speaking about the number of reports that have taken place over the last couple of weeks. I'm simply stating that there should be a certain level of responsibility in that process."

Looking forward to all the over-the-top reaction and and centrifugally spun analysis today.
I have Joy Behar in the office pool for most lame-brained response. Other nominations?
Speaking of creativity, the report she's reading from tuned out to be false within hours, as everyone here probably knows. But it WAS inspirational! Behar and her audience needed a trip to the medicine cabinet to even out the mood swings.)

'Jingle Bells' rooted in racism, Boston University professor says
“Jingle Bells,” one of the most well-known Christmas carols in the world, is now being called racist.
A Boston University theater professor claims the Christmas carol has a “problematic history” because it was originally performed to make fun of African Americans.
“The legacy of ‘Jingle Bells’ is one where its blackface and racist origins have been subtly and systematically removed from its history,” Kyna Hamill, a BU theater historian, wrote in her “Theatre Survey” research paper on the story of “Jingle Bells.”
SNOWFLAKES AT CHRISTMAS? SOME UNIVERSITIES OFFER NO SAFE SPACE FOR SANTA – OR JESUS
“Although ‘One Horse Open Sleigh,’ for most of its singers and listeners, may have eluded its racialized past and taken its place in the seemingly unproblematic romanticization of a normal ‘white’ Christmas, attention to the circumstances of its performance history enables reflection on its problematic role in the construction of blackness and whiteness in the United States,” she wrote.
Hamill started researching the history of the famous Christmas carol after a so-called “Jingle Bells War” – a dispute between two towns, Medford, Mass. and Savannah, Ga. – that claim to be the birthplace of the song written by James Pierpont.
“Its origins emerged from the economic needs of a perpetually unsuccessful man, the racial politics of antebellum Boston, the city’s climate, and the intertheatrical repertoire of commercial blackface performers moving between Boston and New York,” Hamill wrote.
The traces of blackface minstrel origins can be found in the music and lyrics, as well as the “elements of ‘male display,’ boasting, and the unbridled behavior of the male body onstage,” the author wrote.
The song’s lyrics, which Hamill adds “display no real originality,” and reference things like “Miss Fanny Bright” and “dashing through the snow” connect the song to blackface dandy, according to the research paper.
“Words such as ‘thro,’ ‘tho’t,’ and ‘upsot’ suggest a racialized performance that attempted to sound ‘southern’ to a northern audience,” Hamill wrote.
“As I mentioned in my article, the first documented performance of the song is in a blackface minstrel hall in Boston in 1857, the same year it was copyrighted,” Hamill told Fox News. “Much research has been done on the problematic history of this nineteenth-century entertainment.”
Hamill added that her research has been public for two years and has nothing to do with Christmas.
Jingle Bells was the first song ever broadcast from outer space in 1965, as reported by History.com.
The research paper was widely panned on social media with Twitter users calling it liberal overreach.
“Jingle Bells is racist, White Christmas is racist, Baby it’s Cold Outside is sexist. What the hell happend to the America I grew up in where people didn’t wake up every day trying to find something to be offended by?” one Twitter user wrote.

I'm gonna claim that the professor hasn't said the song is racist, just that the song had racist origins. I have a feeling she knows the difference. Throw in some cultural appropriation for bonus points. My blood pressure still hasn't spiked.

Yeah, that really blew me away the first time I needed gas when we spent a year in Portland. I got out of my car, took the gas cap off and started to reach for the pump when the "attendant" (scruffy low-life who was sitting on an Igloo cooler waiting for someone to pull up so he could do his vital job) came running over, giving birth to a heiffer in the process. Who knew I was about to become an outlaw by pumping my own gas? I'd only been doing that in...oh...just about every other state in the union since I was 12 years old.

I thought it was only New Jersey, but when I saw this story I vaguely remembered hearing something about Oregon. I think that's it, though.
They tried to do away with it in NJ a few years ago, if I recall, but I don't know what happened. From what I can tell, the system is corrupt. I used to think it was just on the Turnpike, to keep things moving along without motorist lollygagging, but as far as I know it is (was?) more stupid than that, and statewide.
I'd like to see more "full service" stations or gas stops, to be honest, or a choice of full- or self-serve, but the compulsory stuff can go pound sand.

Several prominent media figures fell Friday for a parody that claimed White House staff set up a mock “gorilla channel” for Trump after he was upset that such a channel did not exist.
Twitter user @pixelatedboat, who's known for parodying political figures and posting satire, posted an image on the social media site Thursday that purported to be an excerpt from author Michael Wolff’s hotly anticipated book on the Trump administration, “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House."
The parody imagined Trump being upset over a lack of a “gorilla channel” on White House televisions.

Don't worry, they'll keep trying. These people are relentless. Full of shit and unhinged, but relentless. Shannon Watts went on a 10-tweet tear today, attacking Dana Loesch with photos, links, diagrams, circles and arrows. (It's a separate thread from the one below.) That was after a six-or seven pager going after an NRA active shooter video a few days ago. I thought they were in favor of more training?
Terrorists like the nra and @DLoesch won't be happy until we're all dead. Because. That's. What. Terrorists. Do.

Well, correction: I should have said they pulled their divorce proceedings out of court. They could come to a divorce agreement privately, or stay married.
They claim they want to go private for the benefit of the child.
My instinct says, "Nah."
I have "Staying married to invoke spousal privilege" in the office pool.

There’s no grace in this brave new world. There’s no charity. It’s not enough to disagree. Now we must ruin. Now we must humiliate. Saying “you’re wrong” is no longer enough. The argument isn’t sufficient.

And he often did. In return, he didn’t face a mere news cycle of fury. He faced it for weeks that stretched into months and have now stretched into years. The Atlantic couldn’t face friendly fire for a few days. Its cowardice hurts us all.

[B]Facebook has always been one big swindle

...
The problem isn’t that Zuckerberg is a businessman, and an exceptionally gifted one, but that he pretends to have stumbled out of the lyrics of John Lennon’s song “Imagine.” To listen to him, Facebook is all about connectivity and openness — he just happens to have made roughly $63 billion as the T-shirt-wearing champion of “the global community,” whatever that means.
It’s this pose that makes him and other Facebook officials sound so shifty. In a rocky interview with Savannah Guthrie of “The Today Show” last week, Sheryl Sandberg was asked what product Facebook sells. “We’re selling the opportunity to connect with people,” she said according to The Washington Post, before catching herself, “but it’s not for sale.”
Something or other must be for sale, or Facebook is the first company to rocket to the top ranks of corporate America based on having no product or profit motive. Guthrie, persisting, stated that Facebook sweeps up data for the use of advertisers. Sandberg objected, “We are not sweeping data. People are inputting data.”
Uh, yeah. That’s the genius of it. In a reported exchange with a friend while he was a student at Harvard, Zuckerberg boasted of having data on thousands of students because “people just submitted it.”
SEE ALSO
Zuckerberg says Facebook didn't do enough to prevent privacy scandal
Zuckerberg has now managed the same trick on a global scale. On the one hand, Facebook has indeed made efforts to protect the data of its users, knowing that it can’t risk a fundamental breach of trust. On the other, Zuckerberg has repeatedly said he’s sorry for offenses against his users’ privacy because his business model contradicts his self-righteous public posture.
The company is deeply committed to that posture. In the “Today” interview, Sandberg made a confession as humble brag, “We were very idealistic and not rigorous enough.” In his prepared testimony before a House committee, Zuckerberg declared, “Facebook is an idealistic and optimistic company. For most of our existence, we focused on all the good that connecting people can bring.”
It’s possible to imagine something like Facebook run as a nonprofit service for the global commons. That’s not what Zuckerberg choose to do. To his credit, he created a compelling — nay, for some people, addicting — product and made a killing for the ages.
Perhaps the public pressure will force the social network to give its customers even more control over the use of their data. At a minimum, it will have achieved something if it gets Facebook to give up the saccharine one-world rhetoric about its mission and admit the bottom line is as important to it as any other profit-making company.

I'm still waiting for someone to make a convincing case for why states should be dipping into anyone's pockets for purchases by their residents when the seller has no physical presence in that state and the buyer is (usually) paying income taxes and property taxes already. There are no buildings to inspect or protect from fire; there are no employees to protect with police. We're paying out the wazoo for roads with gas taxes and tolls. But because Bob wants to buy a widget from Joe, Joe must collect a tax from Bob and remit it to the government, even though Joe will never step foot in Bob's state and thinks it is, in fact, a shit-hole.

When I did my Oregon state income taxes for the year that we relocated from there to Texas, the scheme they used to calculate the portion of my year's income that was subject to taxation by OR included a portion (albeit a really tiny one) of the income I'd earned while living in TX. It added about 75 cents or so to my total bill, so I paid it rather than waste my time and effort trying to challenge it...but the principle of it still sticks in my craw to this day.

That reminds me of the guy who came flying out of the Edinburgh Subway we were walking by...his sandwich still in hand...after he saw some homeless guy try to walk off with his (sandwich guy's) bicycle he'd left by the door., yelling, "'ey..foak oaf!!!!" He didn't put the thief on his arse (which it looked like he could have done without much trouble), but I had to award him a lot of points for the pithy outburst combined with the fact that he handled the whole matter without ever losing his grip on his sub.

LOL ... Do they call a sub a sub in Britain? I think they do. I worked and played at one point in a little bar owned by a loveable Cockney bastard and his old lady ---who was quite the cutie and whose name was Sandra or Sondra depending on which side of the pond was speaking to her--- and we sold sammiches which I think he called subs. She then kicked his arse to the curb and made subs in a nearby town and the pub got sold to a nurse who made a good go of it for a while ...

It can't. You either use a metal barrel, or you have a .22 that you get one shot out of before it's destroyed.
That's what makes all this kerfuffle so funny. With the ready availability of affordable and durable mass manufactured semi-automtic firearms the left is just sure that street thugs and other petty ne'er-do-wells are going to switch to making their own 1-shot plastic guns in puny calibers on multi-thousand dollar high-maintenance 3D printers with production capacities of maybe 1 or 2 pistols / day (that then need to be assembled from the printed parts).
I'm tickled that they're opting to waste their time on such a non-issue...that they can't even hope to win.

Excellent. Maybe the gangs will find a vocation and take up gunsmithing so that they learn to assemble their plastic guns. Watch for an overload of gang members milling around the public library waiting to use the 3D printer.

I'm conflicted. As an American of Irish and German descent, I would like the Germans to man up and name the squirrel "Kaiser Wilhelm" or "Crazy Ludwig" or some such, but on the other hand I realize the days of anything intentionally humorously ironic coming out of Germany are long past.
[QUOTE]A tiny squirrel chased a German man so aggressively that the man called the police for help Thursday.
Police arrived to witness the end of the pursuit, which ended when the exhausted animal collapsed and fell asleep, according to the Guardian.
The officers transported the animal, which had likely lost its mother and was searching for a new home, to a rescue center. But first they named it Karl-Friedrich and declared it their mascot, according to a police statement.
“It often happens that squirrels which have lost their mothers look for a replacement and then focus their efforts on one person,” police spokeswoman Christina Krenz told the Guardian. She told the publication that the experience can be "pretty scary."
The twitter account for the Karlsruhe police department tweeted photos of the rescue effort, including multiple photos of the baby squirrel sleeping. Karlsruhe is a city located in southwest Germany.

This is a mistake that Democrats have made before, latching onto someone they believe is destiny’s child and the next savior of their electoral hopes. But loading too many of your hopes in an untested messenger comes with risks. Fame and destiny were thrust on Barack Obama after his 2004 convention speech. He went on to some significant victories for himself, but he wound up being a mediocre president whose personal popularity clearly didn’t carry over to benefit the rest of his party once he was done. Do the Democrats want to make that mistake again?
I certainly hope so.

It's not that there haven't always been idiots and vicious contention in this country. There have.
It's that the internet and social media have exposed them to the light for everyone to see (even those with little historical perspective or any functioning current events muscle) and---unfortunately--- provided them with a megaphone and high def screen.
I am anticipating with some trepidation/delight the upcoming surveys that show journalists/fact-checkers/media rank lower than politicians/used car salesmen/lawyers in public approval.

My last turkey hunt in May, I took along the trail cam (Browning Strike Force), set it up on a likely trail and crossed my fingers as this was a new area I hadn't hunted. I got the camera back yesterday and noticed it had taken 248 pics since May and battery life was at 67%. Nice. So I was pretty jacked up to see the pics today. There were about 200 pictures of cattle and a few deer. This one was kind of neat. She's so full of babies I think you can see the hooves poking her in the side.

It turns out that the Polk Co., FL sheriff is an entertaining guy when giving a press conference. The accompanying video of that event is a bit long, but worth it.

Short version: Sociopathic meth-head's belligerance and stupidity earn him a sucking chest wound and a ride in the back of a hearse. Sheriff delivers a long-but-well-told story recounting the details of the incident. The money quote:
"Here is a message for the hotheads of the community: Don't do that stuff. Good people carry guns. And they will shoot you...a lot. Graveyard dead. Leave people alone."

I've read some stuff over the last few days about Nike's calculation and confidence in its ad campaign---Essentially, they think objectors are not their market, and they are looking beyond the blow-back---but this seems to indicate they might have miscalculated.
It's one thing to say that "Our market will support us." It's another to whistle past the stats that show every surveyed demographic group thinks less of you today vs. yesterday.

[QUOTE=crookedeye;57040]i seen a wolf spider down there the other day, it looked like he was hunting[/QUOTE]
I'd set up a makeshift ground blind using the laundry basket, the magazines and the old couch. Is it legal there to hunt over bait? Set up some cameras and get dialed in on what times are best.

I have a wolf spider call if you want to borrow it. I've washed most of the saliva off.
915.) bluecat - 09/17/2018
Don't over call, they get call shy.
916.) crookedeye - 09/17/2018
is it like the hadel turkey gobble call?? i had more spit in that thing, still couldnt get a decent gobble out of it..sold it to some sucker on ebay..
917.) crookedeye - 09/17/2018
it was one of those calls you had to build up massive amount of spit before it would even work right..
918.) crookedeye - 09/17/2018
that turkey gobble call i had sounded more like a coon and a dog fighting..
919.) bluecat - 09/17/2018
They might be controlling your centipedes, so I wouldn't go over the bag limit. You might try to find some centipedes carcasses and set them up as decoys.
920.) crookedeye - 09/17/2018
i think i have the centepedes under controll this year, with my spray and bug traps..ive been catching alot of little ones.the big ones are the ones im after, they are nocturnal..you need to get up early to even see one.
921.) crookedeye - 09/17/2018
the traps cant hold them..
922.) crookedeye - 09/17/2018
the big ones are smart, once in a while you see one on the wall. i mean the big ones..
923.) crookedeye - 09/17/2018
once you turn on youre light they freeze..i had one about 2 inches, he was big...i snaped a towel at him as he scurried undernealth the closet door..that was about a year ago..i no his still around..
924.) bluecat - 09/17/2018
I know a guy that was a bodybuilder and the cockroaches got into the muscle protein powder. They were invincible and you couldn't crush them anymore.

They cornered a kitten and were roughing it up pretty good before he stepped in.
926.) crookedeye - 09/17/2018
i seen an alpha centipede take down a mouse before
927.) crookedeye - 09/17/2018
his tenticles wraped around the mouse..he was about a 2 incher maybe 2 1/2 inches you could tell he was the alpha male..
928.) crookedeye - 09/17/2018
you could tell he had a grip on the mouse the battle lasted for about 10 minutes
929.) bluecat - 09/17/2018
If you don't lay the wood to these vermin early on, they teach that attitude and hate to their young and it becomes ugly and personal. They don't believe they are living in your world, you are living in theirs. I've seen their little parades and such.
930.) crookedeye - 09/17/2018
remember when you see one of the alpha males on youre wall ..he's just afraid of you as you are of him..
931.) bluecat - 09/17/2018
I'm not so sure about that. Don't let your guard down. That's usually when they strike.
932.) bluecat - 09/17/2018

Once they get a little taste of human juice, there's no going back.
934.) Swamp Fox - 09/19/2018
Natural enemies of the centipede include the badger and the chicken. Maybe you let a few of them loose in your basement. Or a pushy salesman of very, very tiny shoes.
Here's the money idea, though. According to Orkin, centipedes are "solitary arthropods that become defensive and violent in the company of other centipedes."
Can you say pay-per-view Centipede Fight Club?

When I was in the fourth grade I played halfback for the Riverdale Colts. One Sunday afternoon, the opposing defense was stunting and sending five, our coach (Mr. Higgens) called me over to send in a play. "Bluekitty" (I was much smaller then), He grabbed me by my facemask and drew me in. "I need a toss power trap." Here's where it got interesting. He shoved me out on the field but before I left he gave me a little pat on the rump.
Clearly this is inappropriate touching. Even though it happened maybe 50 years ago, somebody should pay. I hate to drag my family and the grade school principal (he knew this patting was going on and did nothing) through all this but it has to be done.
How much should I ask for in damages? Just come out with it in the newspaper and then refuse to testify?

I don't really remember the incident because I was never on the Riverdale Colts, I was on the Sunnyside Bears.
I have a pretty strong case though.

I'm still pissed that Nebraska, Colorado and Missouri vacated the Big XII, does that count? These were all part of the Big 8 and have a long tradition with KU. Leaving was wrong.
I'm glad that Nebraska is losing, I've always hated Missouri (any proper Kansan does - Muck Fizzou). To turn your back on your neighbors like that. I'd always liked Nebraska up until that time - lived in Lincoln for 11 years-thought highly of Tom Osborne. Now I always cheer for them to lose. The year Kansas beat them into submission in Lawrence was a happy day for me. I still have and will take to the grave, the ticket stub from that game. I watched the elitist NU fans filing out of the game at the 3rd quarter. Nebraska fans always prided themselves on how they support the team win or lose. B.S.
Pour me another pint Swampy, we may be here awhile.

A federal judge on Tuesday ordered porn star Stormy Daniels to pay President Donald Trump more than $292,000 in attorneys' fees and another $1,000 in sanctions in connection with her dismissed defamation suit against Trump.
That was much less than the nearly $800,000 in legal fees and sanctions that Trump's lawyer Charles Harder asked for earlier this month in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles.
But Harder in a statement Tuesday said that Daniels was ordered to pay amount to 75 percent of Trump's legal fees. And he crowed that the $1,000 in sanctions are for her filing "meritless" defamation action.
That defamation suit came in response to a Trump tweet that all but called Daniels for claiming she was menaced by a man seeking to keep her quiet about a sexual tryst with the president.
"The court's order, along with the court's prior order dismissing Stormy Daniels' defamation case against the President, together constitute a total victory for the President, and a total defeat for Stormy Daniels in this case."

In some cases the lawyer(s) can face fines, penalties and/or sanctions for improper suits. I assume this is state-by-state, although you'd think the ABA or other national groups interested in ethics and standards could be pressed to address loose-cannon lawyers in states that let them run wild.

For you and Swample
The Irish are always the first ones to come to the aid of their fellow man.
Shortly after take-off on an outbound, evening Aer Lingus flight from
Dublin to Boston, the lead flight attendant nervously made the following
painful announcement in her lovely Irish brogue: "Ladies and gentlemen,
I'm so very sorry, but it appears that there
has been a terrible mix-up by our catering service. I don't know how
this has happened, but we have 103 passengers on board, and
unfortunately, we received only 40 dinner meals. I truly apologize for
this mistake and inconvenience."
When the muttering of the passengers had died down, she continued,
"Anyone who is kind enough to give up their meal so that someone else
can eat, will receive free and unlimited drinks for the duration of our
10 hour flight.
Her next announcement came about 2 hours later: "If anyone is hungry, we
still have 40 dinners available."

[QUOTE]WASHINGTON, D.C.—Senator Elizabeth Warren is embroiled in controversy once again, this time after she admitted to wearing racially offensive "paleface" at a costume party back in her college days.
"As a proud Native American woman, I now realize that dressing as a white woman at that party all those years ago was insensitive and offensive," she said in a heartfelt apology video. "It was wrong of me to culturally appropriate white culture, as I am only 1023/1024th white European colonizer."
"I only hope that my constituents can forgive me for who I was back in my college days," she added.
Warren was also photographed with a friend dressed as a KKK member, but she refused to distance herself from that photograph, calling the KKK "an important part of the history of abortion rights in America, for which I have fought my whole career."

Mayor claims she was hate crime victim after 'yellow, sticky substance' found on car. But cops have simpler explanation.
'It ignited some fear in my spirit. My God, who would do that?'[/I]
She looks like the woman version of Don King.

[QUOTE=Swamp Fox;57730]WASHINGTON, D.C.—Senator Elizabeth Warren is embroiled in controversy once again, this time after she admitted to wearing racially offensive "paleface" at a costume party back in her college days.
"As a proud Native American woman, I now realize that dressing as a white woman at that party all those years ago was insensitive and offensive," she said in a heartfelt apology video. "It was wrong of me to culturally appropriate white culture, as I am only 1023/1024th white European colonizer."
"I only hope that my constituents can forgive me for who I was back in my college days," she added.
Warren was also photographed with a friend dressed as a KKK member, but she refused to distance herself from that photograph, calling the KKK "an important part of the history of abortion rights in America, for which I have fought my whole career."

[I]Earlier this month, environmental scientists at the University of Minnesota came out with a startling nationwide study showing that different demographic groups are exposed to drastically different amounts of air pollution each year. The study overlaid US Census data with exposure levels of a pollutant called nitrogen dioxide, or NO2, which is created by combustion in vehicles and power plants. The results: Each year, people of color are exposed to 46 percent more NO2 than white people.

This is excellent:
[QUOTE][I]"Some critical decisions about the Russia investigation were made before I got there. The previous Administration chose not to publicize the full story about Russian computer hackers and social media trolls, and how they relate to a broader strategy to undermine America. The FBI disclosed classified evidence about the investigation to ranking legislators and their staffers. Someone selectively leaked details to the news media. The FBI Director announced at a congressional hearing that there was a counterintelligence investigation that might result in criminal charges. Then the former FBI Director alleged that the President pressured him to close the investigation, and the President denied that the conversation occurred.
So that happened."
[/I]
There is no mistaking Rosenstein’s meaning, even if he didn’t attach names to those allegations. Until now, many just assumed that Rosenstein would have a lot to say about Donald Trump once he left the Department of Justice. That impression has some reasonable basis; Trump occasionally took public potshots at Rosenstein, and at one point seemed on the verge of firing him. Rosenstein only mentioned Trump once by name in the whole speech, however, and that was a positive reference to a Trump quote about the rule of law. One gets the impression from this passage that he will have much more to say about the actions and inactions that took place before Trump ever got to the White House.
Rosenstein offered this metaphor as a hint:
[I]"There is a story about firefighters who found a man on a burning bed. When they asked how the fire started, he replied, 'I don’t know. It was on fire when I lay down on it.' I know the feeling."[/I]
The outgoing DAG had a few words for the media too, especially those he termed “mercenary critics”:
[I]"Then there are the mercenary critics, who get paid to express passionate opinions about any topic, often with little or no information. They do not just express disagreement. They launch ad hominem attacks unrestricted by truth or morality. They make threats, spread fake stories, and even attack your relatives. I saw one of the professional provocateurs at a holiday party. He said, “I’m sorry that I’m making your life miserable.” And I said, “You do your job, and I’ll do mine.…
In our Department, we disregard the mercenary critics and focus on the things that matter. As Goethe said, 'Things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least.' A republic that endures is not governed by the news cycle. Some of the nonsense that passes for breaking news today would not be worth the paper was printed on, if anybody bothered to print it. It quickly fades away. The principles are what abide."
[/I]
On a more philosophical note, Rosenstein warned about the dangers of news-cycle governance. He related remarks from a retiring Congressman about why he decided not to run for another term:
[I]"Last year, a congressman explained why he decided not to run for reelection. He said, 'I like … job[s] where facts matter. I like jobs where fairness matters. I like jobs where, frankly, … the process matters.'”[/I]
He was describing an American courtroom. “I like the art of persuasion,” he said. “I like finding 12 people who have not already made up their minds and … may [let] the facts prevail. That’s not where we are in politics.”
That congressman spoke the truth. It may never be where we are in politics. But it must always be where we are in law.
That was almost certainly Trey Gowdy speaking, although Rosenstein doesn’t mention the name. It sounds like a mission statement for Rosenstein’s post-DoJ life. He may never achieve the same level of public notice as he currently enjoys in his position, but it seems doubtful that Rosenstein ever plans to fully retire and refrain from commentary. If this valediction is any hint of what might come in the future, then a whole new set of people should be concerned about what he’ll say once freed of the constraints of his current office.[/QUOTE]

I could never support a presidential candidate who wasn noot well-read:
[QUOTE]President Trump dismissed the youngest candidate in the Democratic field by comparing him to a caricature created decades before Pete Buttigieg was even born.
“Alfred E. Neuman cannot become president of the United States,” Trump said when asked by Politico what he thought of Buttigieg, the 37-year-old mayor of South Bend, Ind. The reference to the gaptoothed, big-eared boy made famous as a mascot for Mad magazine did just as much to show Trump’s age as Buttigieg’s.
The magazine used the illustration on its cover back in 1956 as a write-in candidate for president. While fairly ubiquitous in pop culture, the popularity of the cartoon and the magazine peaked in the 1970s.
Buttigieg, asked about the president’s swipe, admitted to not knowing the reference and trolled the president right back.

LOL! A little bitty pie shop just opened up last week at a location that's on my way home from work. Being the civic-minded supporter of small local business that I am I decided to stop by and grab a slice of flaky, crusty fruit-filled goodness to take home. Apparently they did a good job of getting the word out because the display case was quite clean, and was certainly uncontaminated by pie. Fortunately the 30-ish guy working the counter grocked the reference when I began interrogating him by rattling off the names of pies they were obviously out of, and played along.
Finally he pulled out their last remaining slice of blueberry pie and boxed it up, thus preventing me from having to shoot him.

Some even compared “Crochet Lady” to Snoop Dogg, who made headlines this weekend for his performance at KU’s Late Night in the Phog, which included money guns and pole dancers — a risque performance for which Kansas Athletics apologized.
“Snoop Dogg one day... Crochet lady the next. Kansas is on one emotional rollercoaster,” one person tweeted. Another, “Crochet Lady>Snoop Dog.”

I remember when that whole thing transpired. He slipped on a peanut butter sandwich while messing around on stand and ended up launching himself out of the tree. While he was laying there on the ground he looked up and saw that his camera was caught up in the branches. He left it there because it was a cheap camera and more trouble to get it than it was worth. The idea was born. Genius, um no, clumsy and awkward, yes. The first picture of him screaming and soiling himself as he was falling was fairly humorous. Does anybody still have that picture?
Soon after that, Luv2 was always seen wearing the "Comfort Fit with Stretch Tech Technology" Jordache jeans which allows a little more freedom of movement but still provide the skin tight look and feel.

[B][SIZE=3]How the $800B stimulus failed[/SIZE][/B]
[...]
Now, at the first implementation meeting in 2009, Biden — with a smudged Ash Wednesday cross still on his forehead — declared that the stimulus would “literally drop kick us out of the recession.”
Officially called the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the $800 billion stimulus was the largest economic recovery program in history. Adjusted for inflation, it was nearly five times more expensive than the Works Progress Administration. It was bigger than the Louisiana Purchase, the Manhattan Project, the moon race and the Marshall Plan.
Economists and nonpartisan forecasting firms estimate that the stimulus created and saved more than 2 million jobs. It generated an unprecedented buzz around clean energy. A relatively small pot of education grants goaded 32 states to enact major reforms, such as tying teacher pay to student performance or lifting caps on charter schools. When the last dime is spent, more than 41,000 miles of roads will be paved, widened and improved; 600,000 low-income homes weatherized; and more than 3,000 rural schools connected to high-speed Internet.
But despite these achievements, the stimulus ultimately failed to do what America expected it to do — bring about a strong, sustainable recovery. The drop kick was shanked.
[...]
In reporting on the stimulus over three years, I traveled to 15 states, interviewed hundreds of people and read through tens of thousands of government documents and project reports.
What I found is that the stimulus failed to live up to its promise not because it was too small (as those on the left argue) or because Keynesian economics is obsolete (as those on the right argue), but because it was poorly designed. Even advocates for a bigger stimulus need to acknowledge that their argument is really one about design and presentation.
[...]
Even as the stimulus was pumping hundreds of billions of dollars into the economy in its first year, it appeared as if nothing was happening. The jobless rate skyrocketed, easily exceeding the poorly conceived chart Obama’s economic advisers had put together, showing that unemployment would never breach 8%.

[QUOTE] [B]Push for national popular vote movement gets boost from conservatives
Leaders of a new conservative campaign advocating for the national popular vote movement are seeking to promote the effort at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) this week.
[/B]
Several leaders of the group Conservatives for Yes on National Popular Vote, which formed earlier this month, are seeking to educate those on the right about the movement and push back on perceptions that such an effort would largely benefit Democratic candidates.
“CPAC is a very tough crowd for us because the knee-jerk reaction for most Republicans is to oppose this,” said Saul Anuzis, a former chairman of the Michigan Republican Party who plans to promote the national popular vote effort at the conservative confab.
“They think Hillary Clinton and Al Gore would have been president. Well, the fact is we don't know what would have happened,” he added, referring to the Democrats who won the national popular vote in 2016 and 2000, respectively, but lost in the Electoral College those years.
The group's campaign manager, Dennis Lennox, acknowledged that it’s a “communication challenge” to distinguish their movement from the Democratic push by Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) to completely abolish the Electoral College.
Under the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC), which has been passed by 15 states and Washington, D.C., individual states would award all of their electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote.
The conservative leaders maintain that this agreement would not get rid of the Electoral College. The electoral system would still be used, they argue, but the electors would be distributed based on the national popular vote instead of the state’s popular vote in the winner-take-all method.
Lennox said their campaign has scheduled meetings with organizations and individuals to inform other conservatives about their cause during CPAC, which starts Wednesday and runs through Saturday.
The group argues that in current presidential campaign culture, a disproportionate amount of attention is given to battleground states over the rest of the country. They argue a national popular vote system would be more equitable.
“Let's be honest, we don't elect a president of the United States. We elect a president of the battleground states under the current method,” Lennox said.
Conservatives for Yes on National Popular Vote say their method would allow every person in every state to have an equally weighted vote, including conservatives in deep blue states who may not turn out because they don’t think their vote matters.
The group has seen a boost from former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, who is supporting its efforts.
Steele said that the Republican Party is increasingly at a disadvantage in the Electoral College as more states, like Texas, with 38 electors, could become more liberal.
“We empower citizens to feel and to come to know that their votes will count in every election,” Steele told The Hill.
Anuzis said the lack of turnout from voters who think their vote doesn’t matter for president can have a “devastating” impact on down-ballot candidates of the party. He predicted that the U.S. could shift to a national popular vote model as soon as 2024.
The NPVIC amounts so far to 196 electorates, although Colorado’s approval is now contingent on a 2020 referendum. The bill would automatically be enacted for the country if states with a minimum of 270 electors — the number needed to win the presidency — approve of the compact.
[B][B]Gary Gregg, the Mitch McConnell Chair in Leadership at the University of Louisville, said he believes the national popular vote movement may capture the attention of some conservatives, but he said he doesn’t think it will become a mainstream idea on the right.
The political scientist said those pushing for the national popular vote are “abolishing the Electoral College without actually going through the amendment” process.
He added he thinks they are ignoring potential problems like the legality and the public’s reaction in states where the popular vote differs from the national popular vote. Additional parties could enter the mix, he said, which could lead to no candidate reaching a majority of votes.
“A conservative should give the benefit of the doubt to history and to actual experience rather than throwing it into the wind and saying, 'Well, hypothetically, I think in the future something's going to be good for us,'” Gregg said, adding he thinks this method would benefit the Democratic Party more than the GOP.
“We should never make a constitutional change because it's going to help a political party, for crying out loud,” he added. “That's clearly what they're trying to argue.”
There have been five elections in U.S. history where the person who won the presidency lost the popular vote, including in 2000 when former President George W. Bush (R) lost to Gore (D) by almost 550,000 votes and in 2016 when President Trump (R) lost to Clinton (D) by nearly 3 million votes.
[/B]
Trump himself has previously entertained the idea of a national popular vote election, saying in a 2017 interview, “I would rather have the popular vote because it’s, to me, it’s much easier to win the popular vote.”
But other conservatives like Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) have vehemently opposed the idea, saying it would mean “politicians will only campaign in (and listen to) urban areas” in a 2019 tweet.

[QUOTE] [B]Push for national popular vote movement gets boost from conservatives
Leaders of a new conservative campaign advocating for the national popular vote movement are seeking to promote the effort at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) this week.
[/B]
Several leaders of the group Conservatives for Yes on National Popular Vote, which formed earlier this month, are seeking to educate those on the right about the movement and push back on perceptions that such an effort would largely benefit Democratic candidates.
“CPAC is a very tough crowd for us because the knee-jerk reaction for most Republicans is to oppose this,” said Saul Anuzis, a former chairman of the Michigan Republican Party who plans to promote the national popular vote effort at the conservative confab.
“They think Hillary Clinton and Al Gore would have been president. Well, the fact is we don't know what would have happened,” he added, referring to the Democrats who won the national popular vote in 2016 and 2000, respectively, but lost in the Electoral College those years.
The group's campaign manager, Dennis Lennox, acknowledged that it’s a “communication challenge” to distinguish their movement from the Democratic push by Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) to completely abolish the Electoral College.
Under the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC), which has been passed by 15 states and Washington, D.C., individual states would award all of their electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote.
The conservative leaders maintain that this agreement would not get rid of the Electoral College. The electoral system would still be used, they argue, but the electors would be distributed based on the national popular vote instead of the state’s popular vote in the winner-take-all method.
Lennox said their campaign has scheduled meetings with organizations and individuals to inform other conservatives about their cause during CPAC, which starts Wednesday and runs through Saturday.
The group argues that in current presidential campaign culture, a disproportionate amount of attention is given to battleground states over the rest of the country. They argue a national popular vote system would be more equitable.
“Let's be honest, we don't elect a president of the United States. We elect a president of the battleground states under the current method,” Lennox said.
Conservatives for Yes on National Popular Vote say their method would allow every person in every state to have an equally weighted vote, including conservatives in deep blue states who may not turn out because they don’t think their vote matters.
The group has seen a boost from former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, who is supporting its efforts.
Steele said that the Republican Party is increasingly at a disadvantage in the Electoral College as more states, like Texas, with 38 electors, could become more liberal.
“We empower citizens to feel and to come to know that their votes will count in every election,” Steele told The Hill.
Anuzis said the lack of turnout from voters who think their vote doesn’t matter for president can have a “devastating” impact on down-ballot candidates of the party. He predicted that the U.S. could shift to a national popular vote model as soon as 2024.
The NPVIC amounts so far to 196 electorates, although Colorado’s approval is now contingent on a 2020 referendum. The bill would automatically be enacted for the country if states with a minimum of 270 electors — the number needed to win the presidency — approve of the compact.
[B][B]Gary Gregg, the Mitch McConnell Chair in Leadership at the University of Louisville, said he believes the national popular vote movement may capture the attention of some conservatives, but he said he doesn’t think it will become a mainstream idea on the right.
The political scientist said those pushing for the national popular vote are “abolishing the Electoral College without actually going through the amendment” process.
He added he thinks they are ignoring potential problems like the legality and the public’s reaction in states where the popular vote differs from the national popular vote. Additional parties could enter the mix, he said, which could lead to no candidate reaching a majority of votes.
“A conservative should give the benefit of the doubt to history and to actual experience rather than throwing it into the wind and saying, 'Well, hypothetically, I think in the future something's going to be good for us,'” Gregg said, adding he thinks this method would benefit the Democratic Party more than the GOP.
“We should never make a constitutional change because it's going to help a political party, for crying out loud,” he added. “That's clearly what they're trying to argue.”
There have been five elections in U.S. history where the person who won the presidency lost the popular vote, including in 2000 when former President George W. Bush (R) lost to Gore (D) by almost 550,000 votes and in 2016 when President Trump (R) lost to Clinton (D) by nearly 3 million votes.
[/B]
Trump himself has previously entertained the idea of a national popular vote election, saying in a 2017 interview, “I would rather have the popular vote because it’s, to me, it’s much easier to win the popular vote.”
But other conservatives like Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) have vehemently opposed the idea, saying it would mean “politicians will only campaign in (and listen to) urban areas” in a 2019 tweet.

1329.) Swamp Fox - 02/28/2020
[QUOTE=Swamp Fox;60101][/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]
Two Democratic congresswomen from Florida who called out Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders earlier this week over his comments praising aspects of late Cuban Communist leader Fidel Castro declined to participate Thursday in a vote to formally condemn the 2020 frontrunner’s remarks.
Representatives Debbie Mucarsel-Powell and Donna Shalala, both representing districts at the southern tip of Florida with large Cuban-American populations, were absent for a House vote to bring to the floor an amendment disapproving of Sanders’s comments praising Castro’s health care system and literacy program.
The House voted 224 to 189 to reject a procedural motion to immediately consider the measure, effectively tanking the resolution. Both congresswomen were marked as not voting.
“I’m hoping that in the future, Senator Sanders will take time to speak to some of my constituents before he decides to sing the praises of a murderous tyrant like Fidel Castro,” Shalala, who previously served as secretary of Health and Human Services, wrote in a Sunday tweet.
“I find Senator Bernie Sanders’s comments on Castro’s Cuba absolutely unacceptable,” Mucarsel-Powell agreed in her own tweet.
“The Castro regime murdered and jailed dissidents, and caused unspeakable harm to too many South Florida families,” the Miami congresswoman added. “To this day, it remains an authoritarian regime that oppresses its people, subverts the free press, and stifles a free society.”
However, on Thursday, Mucarsel-Powell accused Republicans of politicizing the vote to condemn Sanders, saying GOP members “attempted to use an underhanded maneuver to derail an important public health bill to protect our children from a vaping epidemic.”
“It is shameful that they attempted to create a false choice between standing with the Cuban community and a generation of children whose health is at risk,” she continued.
In a video clip from the 1980s, Sanders claims that part of the reason the Cuban people did not help the U.S. overthrow Castro’s regime was because the authoritarian leader provided them with health care and education.
“We’re very opposed to the authoritarian nature of Cuba, but, you know, it’s unfair to simply say everything is bad,” the Vermont senator said Sunday on CBS when confronted with the decades-old comments. He went on to praise Castro’s “massive literacy program,” saying, “Is that a bad thing even though Fidel Castro did it?”
Later during Tuesday night’s Democratic primary debate, Sanders doubled down on his remarks, even invoking similar comments by former president Barack Obama.
“What Barack Obama said was they made great progress on education and health care,” Sanders said from the debate stage.
Thursday’s resolution would have rebuked Sanders for his comments “disregarding the history of systemic human rights abuses, forced indoctrination, and authoritarian actions of the literacy and education policies of the communist Castro dictatorship in Cuba.”
The resolution was led by Representative Mario Diaz-Balart, a Florida Republican and a nephew by marriage of Castro who has heavily criticized the communist regime.

"Por que Bernie Sanders?" Tur asked him.
"They don't know, but they're going to be supporting Bernie Sanders," an interpreter told her.
Tur tried to get some kind of an answer out of him and asked him if maybe it was his daughter who was leading the charge for Bernie. He admitted, somewhat ashamedly by the looks of it, that his daughter would actually be voting for President Trump.
Why? "The economy," he sighed.

The best part is the 1-star reviewer who starts off by saying that he "Had much hope" for the book when he ordered it. I guess that cover art just wasn't enough of a red flag. The good news is that 146 Rupees is currently equal to about $1.91, so he's probably only out 2 week's pay or so. Then again, I suppose A-10s would have come in handy at Normandy...

1441.) DParker - 06/24/2020
After ~20 years as a pretty happy DirectTV customer I finally had to dump them last year after AT&T took them over and completely destroyed what used to be a good Customer Service department...not to mention what a horrible job they did "integrating" the online account management into their (AT&T's) existing website. I had been contemplating abandoning satellite in favor of less costly online streaming for a while before that, but was so satisfied with DirectTV that I couldn't bring myself to do it...the AT&T came along and made it easy for me.
Similarly, Verizon had been my home phone and internet service provider for even longer, and I was just as happy with them. Then Frontier bought their operations in several states...our included...and what was once a rop-notch customer service experience immediately went into the crapper, and became the worst I've ever had to deal with. Unfortunately the alternatives in my area are even worse overall, so we're basically stuck with them. On the bright side, the technical side of the house seems to have been relatively unimpacted, and the service has remained as reliable as it was before, and since they got their billing bugs under control I haven't needed to deal with cust serv at all.

(CNSNews.com) - "Chicago is now the largest outdoor shooting range in America," Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) told Fox News's Sean Hannity Monday night.
"And other cities are a following. It's not caused by the coronavirus, it's not caused by racism. It's caused by nihilism," Kennedy said.
"To kill a child, you have to be a nihilist goon with no values whatsoever. But that is what happens when we defund our police, when we refuse to fix our schools, and we undermine the family unit."

Asheville, NC...the San Francisco of the East Coast. This is what happens when you spend your life eating BBQ with mustard-based sauce. I can't wait to see the Biltmore turned into Section 8 housing.

[QUOTE]THE SMITHSONIAN HAS LOST ITS MIND
The Smithsonian’s National Museum of African-American History and Culture has posted up a guide to “Whiteness” that is straight out of a drunken faculty meeting. As the old saying goes, you have to read it not to believe it. Here’s the opening paragraph:
[QUOTE][I]Whiteness and white racialized identity refer to the way that white people, their customs, culture, and beliefs operate as the standard by which all other groups of are compared. Whiteness is also at the core of understanding race in America. Whiteness and the normalization of white racial identity throughout America’s history have created a culture where nonwhite persons are seen as inferior or abnormal.[/I]
[/QUOTE]
[....]
But the real show-stopper is the graphic table of White Culture (rendered more schematically here), which I post here in two installments. Take it in slowly:
My favorite part is the attack on “scientific method”:
Emphasis on Scientific Method:
• Objective, rational linear thinking
• Cause and effect relationships
• Quantitative emphasis
Remind me again why we’re supposed to think Republicans are against science?
As an antidote, see John McWhorter’s article in The Atlantic out today attacking the whole “white fragility” narrative, and especially Robin DiAngelo’s prominence at the moment. Some samples:
[I][QUOTE]I have learned that one of America’s favorite advice books of the moment is actually a racist tract. Despite the sincere intentions of its author, the book diminishes Black people in the name of dignifying us. This is unintentional, of course, like the racism DiAngelo sees in all whites. Still, the book is pernicious because of the authority that its author has been granted over the way innocent readers think. . .
DiAngelo’s book is replete with claims that are either plain wrong or bizarrely disconnected from reality. . .
An especially weird passage is where DiAngelo breezily decries the American higher-education system, in which, she says, no one ever talks about racism. “I can get through graduate school without ever discussing racism,” she writes. “I can graduate from law school without ever discussing racism. I can get through a teacher-education program without ever discussing racism.” I am mystified that DiAngelo thinks this laughably antique depiction reflects any period after roughly 1985. . .
A corollary question is why Black people need to be treated the way DiAngelo assumes we do. The very assumption is deeply condescending to all proud Black people. In my life, racism has affected me now and then at the margins, in very occasional social ways, but has had no effect on my access to societal resources; if anything, it has made them more available to me than they would have been otherwise. Nor should anyone dismiss me as a rara avis. Being middle class, upwardly mobile, and Black has been quite common during my existence since the mid-1960s, and to deny this is to assert that affirmative action for Black people did not work.
White Fragility is, in the end, a book about how to make certain educated white readers feel better about themselves. DiAngelo’s outlook rests upon a depiction of Black people as endlessly delicate poster children within this self-gratifying fantasy about how white America needs to think—or, better, stop thinking. Her answer to white fragility, in other words, entails an elaborate and pitilessly dehumanizing condescension toward Black people. The sad truth is that anyone falling under the sway of this blinkered, self-satisfied, punitive stunt of a primer has been taught, by a well-intentioned but tragically misguided pastor, how to be racist in a whole new way.[/QUOTE][/I]

Graphics and text need some work, but generally I approve:
A big paddle tail should be more prominent, unless we're trying to avoid jokes about beaver---and assuming that anyone nos what a nutria is, or even a muskrat---and while I like the idea that "Washington" is so diminished in size that you can barely read it, any self-respecting swamp rat knows that "Swamp Rats" is two words.
I like the font, though.
It has a good beat, and you can dance to it.

It has gone from "What you gonna do?" shoulder-shrugging progressive background noise to the primary probable cause of epileptic eye-rolling among vulnerable moderate and conservative populations.
I'd say it's definitely worse the last eight months or so.

If you were a well-intentioned citizen looking for perspective on the issues of the day, you would be flying forever left (like NASCAR?), blind as a bat, listening to NPR's high frequency squeals.
In this case and a few others, they have completely thrown in the reporting towel. Even the analysis is shabby.

We stand behind our beliefs that setting up people in hair salons is less than optimal, if in fact, the salon owner knew five years ago that a pandemic would occur so installed a camera system hoping that Nanny would walk in without a mask five years later (her housekeeper forgot to get it for her and left it on her dresser or she left it in the limo).

Sometimes when Joe Biden offers yarns about his childhood, I think of a Woody Allen bit from his stand-up days in which the comic tells the story of being invited to a Halloween party while visiting the Deep South in the early 1960s. Allen decides to dress-up as a ghost, and throws on a white sheet and sets off. Soon, a bunch of men also in white sheets drive up and order him to get in a car. A naïve Allen, assuming the group of people are also going to the party as ghosts, obliges.
Allen, of course, ends up at a Klan rally, where he gives himself away by “pledging” 50 dollars for the cause in the manner Jews donate at Temple during Rosh Hashana and other holidays. Facing the noose, Allen says:
And suddenly my whole life passed before my eyes. I saw myself as a kid again, in Kansas, going to school, swimming at the swimming hole, and fishing, frying up a mess-o-catfish, going down to the general store, getting a piece of gingham for Emmy-Lou. And I realize it’s not my life. They’re gonna hang me in two minutes, the wrong life is passing before my eyes.
In a piece I wrote not long ago about Biden’s long and rich imaginary life I noted that we were probably “only a few speeches away from Biden recalling how his dad used to sit on the edge of his bed and tell him, “Champ, always remember, transgendered folk are just like the rest of us.” He’s certainly working his way there.
Mock Trump’s word salads all you like, but read this fairytale Biden offered at his recent soft-pitch townhall:
[QUOTE]And I was being dropped off to get an application in the center of our city; Wilmington, Delaware, the corporate capital of the world at the time. And these two men, I’m getting out to get an application to be a lifeguard in the African American community because there was a big swimming pool complex.
And these two men, well dressed, leaned up and hugged one another and kissed one another. And I’m getting out of the car at the light and I turn to my dad. My dad looked at me and said, “Joey, it’s simple. They love each other.”
The idea that an 8-year-old child or a 10-year-old child decides, you know I decided I want to be transgender. That’s what I think I’d like to be. It would make my life a lot easier. There should be zero discrimination.
And what’s happening is too many transgender women of color are being murdered. They’re being murdered. And I think it’s up now to 17, don’t hold me to that number. But it’s — it’s higher now?[/QUOTE]
So, let’s get this straight: A teen Biden is looking for work in the black community of 1950s Wilmington, when he happens to spy two men just kissing on the street. His dad, a car dealer from working class stock, tells him, in essence, that love is love. Biden must have forgotten this lesson when he was voting for the Defense of Marriage Act only to remember it now. It’s certainly convenient — and also about as likely as the ending of Allen’s skit, wherein the comic gives such a rousing speech about peaceful coexistence that the Klansmen end up buying Israel bonds.

In a piece I wrote not long ago about Biden’s long and rich imaginary life I noted that we were probably “only a few speeches away from Biden recalling how his dad used to sit on the edge of his bed and tell him, “Champ, always remember, transgendered folk are just like the rest of us.” He’s certainly working his way there.
Mock Trump’s word salads all you like, but read this fairytale Biden offered at his recent soft-pitch townhall:
[QUOTE]And I was being dropped off to get an application in the center of our city; Wilmington, Delaware, the corporate capital of the world at the time. And these two men, I’m getting out to get an application to be a lifeguard in the African American community because there was a big swimming pool complex.
And these two men, well dressed, leaned up and hugged one another and kissed one another. And I’m getting out of the car at the light and I turn to my dad. My dad looked at me and said, “Joey, it’s simple. They love each other.”
The idea that an 8-year-old child or a 10-year-old child decides, you know I decided I want to be transgender. That’s what I think I’d like to be. It would make my life a lot easier. There should be zero discrimination.
And what’s happening is too many transgender women of color are being murdered. They’re being murdered. And I think it’s up now to 17, don’t hold me to that number. But it’s — it’s higher now?[/QUOTE]
So, let’s get this straight: A teen Biden is looking for work in the black community of 1950s Wilmington, when he happens to spy two men just kissing on the street. His dad, a car dealer from working class stock, tells him, in essence, that love is love. Biden must have forgotten this lesson when he was voting for the Defense of Marriage Act only to remember it now. It’s certainly convenient — and also about as likely as the ending of Allen’s skit, wherein the comic gives such a rousing speech about peaceful coexistence that the Klansmen end up buying Israel bonds.

But seriously folks...
Yeah, but I'm not going to put quite as much effort into it as I was initially planning (was going to build raised beds, put in drip irrigation, etc), since we're toying with the idea of buying a place a little more on the outskirts of D/FW and we're not sure exactly when that's going to happen...but we'd like to do it sooner rather than later. The problem is that we couldn't have picked a worse time to want to buy something new while keeping and renting out our current house. The market for existing houses here is just nuts right now, and places are getting snapped up for more than the asking price. While we initially wanted to avoiding building again (we did that with this place >26 years ago), we might be much better off going ahead and just finding a nice ~1 acre already subdivided somewhere and do it again.
That said, I haven't had a chance to work the ground yet (and it rained like hell last night, so it'll likely be next weekend before I can), but I picked up some tomato plants at the local nursery and I already have a bunch of seeds that I saved from last season's plants that were either heirlooms or F1 hybrids (okra, cantaloupe, watermelon, cucumbers and lima beans), so I'll at least plant all those. Probably some more corn too.

Jim Crow On Steroids :re:
Setting aside that it is asinine that there is any such thing as a federal hearing with a congressman from Utah or anywhere but Georgia to "investigate" the minutia of Georgia voting regulations, this is pretty good:
[url]https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/tyler-o-neil/2021/04/20/burgess-owens-eviscerates-democrats-jim-crow-narrative-on-election-integrity-n1441302[/url]
[QUOTE]“I grew up in the era of actual, legalized institutional racism. I grew up in the Deep South in Tallahassee Florida in the 1960s during the days of the KKK, Jim Crow, and segregation,” Owens explained. He became the third black athlete to ever receive a scholarship to play football at the University of Miami. He went on to play in the NFL, found businesses, and serve in the U.S. House of Representatives.
“I sit today before you as someone who has lived the American Dream, as have millions of other Americans of all races from every background. This is due to our country’s mission statement that all men and women are created equal,” Owens said.
He gave examples from his own life to illustrate “what Jim Crow laws actually looked like” and explained why the Georgia law is absolutely nothing like Jim Crow.
“At the age of 12, my father allowed me to participate in a demonstration with college students in front of the segregated Florida state theater, where because of our color, we could not enter. I was the youngest participant there,” he recalled. “In the seventh grade, my school never received new books. Instead, we received books from the all-white school across town.”
“At service stations, there were white-men-only restrooms, white-women-only restrooms, and a filthy restroom in the back of the restroom for black Americans designated as ‘colored.’ In addition, Jim Crow laws like poll tax, property tests, literacy tests, and biased intimidation at the polls made it nearly impossible for black Americans to vote,” Owens said.
[B]
He then turned to the Georgia law, which President Joe Biden called “Jim Crow on steroids.”
“The section of the Georgia law that has brought so much outrage from the Left simply requires any person applying for an absentee ballot to include evidence of a government-issued ID on their application,” Owens explained. “If a voter does not have a driver’s license or ID card, that voter can use a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck or any other government document that shows a name and address of this voter. If a voter somehow cannot produce one of these above forms of ID, that voter can still vote and cast a vote through a provisional ballot.”
“By the way, 97 percent of Georgia voters already have a government-issued ID,” he added.
Owens explained that Democrats do not do black people a favor by suggesting these laws target black voters.
“What I find extremely offensive is the narrative from the Left that black people are not smart enough, not educated enough, not desirous enough of education to do what every other culture and race does in this country, get an ID,” Owens declared.
“True racism is this: It’s a projection of the Democratic Party on my proud race. It’s called the soft bigotry of low expectations,” he explained.
Owens excoriated Biden for calling the Georgia law “Jim Crow on steroids.”
“With all due respect, Mr. President, you know better,” he said. “It is disgusting and offensive to compare the actual voter suppression and violence of that era that we grew up in with a state law that only asks that people show their ID. This is the type of fear mongering I expect in the 1960s, not today.”
“And, by the way, literacy tests and poll tests were initiated by the Democratic Party. The intimidation of black Americans by the KKK was initiated by the Democratic Party. Jim Crow that I grew up in in the South of segregation was initiated by the Democratic Party,” Owens continued. “The soft bigotry of low expectations now projected on black Americans — not Italians, not Asians, not Polish, not Jewish, but only black Americans — is being done by the Democratic Party.”
He noted that “black misery thrives and is prevalent” in areas controlled by Democrats where black American suffer due to “lack of education, lack of jobs, high crimes, [and] the call for defunding the police.”
“We’re seeing 18 percent of black men turn away from the Democratic Party because they’re seeing that their vote can count and their future can matter,” Owens said. He noted that black women, Hispanics, Asians, and members of the gay community also moved away from Democrats in the 2020 election.
Owens said black Americans should be able to expect “fairness, security, [and] to walk away from the poll booth knowing that my vote counted. If we didn’t win, we work harder next time to make sure our message resonates.”
“But to call this Jim Crow 2021 is an insult, my friends. For those who never lived Jim Crow, we are not in Jim Crow,” he insisted.[/B]
Earlier this month, Georgia State Rep. Wes Cantrell pointed out that Georgia’s voting laws are far more relaxed than the laws in Biden’s home state of Delaware.

Setting aside that it is asinine that there is any such thing as a federal hearing with a congressman from Utah or anywhere but Georgia to "investigate" the minutia of Georgia voting regulations, this is pretty good:

[QUOTE]“I grew up in the era of actual, legalized institutional racism. I grew up in the Deep South in Tallahassee Florida in the 1960s during the days of the KKK, Jim Crow, and segregation,” Owens explained. He became the third black athlete to ever receive a scholarship to play football at the University of Miami. He went on to play in the NFL, found businesses, and serve in the U.S. House of Representatives.
“I sit today before you as someone who has lived the American Dream, as have millions of other Americans of all races from every background. This is due to our country’s mission statement that all men and women are created equal,” Owens said.
He gave examples from his own life to illustrate “what Jim Crow laws actually looked like” and explained why the Georgia law is absolutely nothing like Jim Crow.
“At the age of 12, my father allowed me to participate in a demonstration with college students in front of the segregated Florida state theater, where because of our color, we could not enter. I was the youngest participant there,” he recalled. “In the seventh grade, my school never received new books. Instead, we received books from the all-white school across town.”
“At service stations, there were white-men-only restrooms, white-women-only restrooms, and a filthy restroom in the back of the restroom for black Americans designated as ‘colored.’ In addition, Jim Crow laws like poll tax, property tests, literacy tests, and biased intimidation at the polls made it nearly impossible for black Americans to vote,” Owens said.
[B]
He then turned to the Georgia law, which President Joe Biden called “Jim Crow on steroids.”
“The section of the Georgia law that has brought so much outrage from the Left simply requires any person applying for an absentee ballot to include evidence of a government-issued ID on their application,” Owens explained. “If a voter does not have a driver’s license or ID card, that voter can use a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck or any other government document that shows a name and address of this voter. If a voter somehow cannot produce one of these above forms of ID, that voter can still vote and cast a vote through a provisional ballot.”
“By the way, 97 percent of Georgia voters already have a government-issued ID,” he added.
Owens explained that Democrats do not do black people a favor by suggesting these laws target black voters.
“What I find extremely offensive is the narrative from the Left that black people are not smart enough, not educated enough, not desirous enough of education to do what every other culture and race does in this country, get an ID,” Owens declared.
“True racism is this: It’s a projection of the Democratic Party on my proud race. It’s called the soft bigotry of low expectations,” he explained.
Owens excoriated Biden for calling the Georgia law “Jim Crow on steroids.”
“With all due respect, Mr. President, you know better,” he said. “It is disgusting and offensive to compare the actual voter suppression and violence of that era that we grew up in with a state law that only asks that people show their ID. This is the type of fear mongering I expect in the 1960s, not today.”
“And, by the way, literacy tests and poll tests were initiated by the Democratic Party. The intimidation of black Americans by the KKK was initiated by the Democratic Party. Jim Crow that I grew up in in the South of segregation was initiated by the Democratic Party,” Owens continued. “The soft bigotry of low expectations now projected on black Americans — not Italians, not Asians, not Polish, not Jewish, but only black Americans — is being done by the Democratic Party.”
He noted that “black misery thrives and is prevalent” in areas controlled by Democrats where black American suffer due to “lack of education, lack of jobs, high crimes, [and] the call for defunding the police.”
“We’re seeing 18 percent of black men turn away from the Democratic Party because they’re seeing that their vote can count and their future can matter,” Owens said. He noted that black women, Hispanics, Asians, and members of the gay community also moved away from Democrats in the 2020 election.
Owens said black Americans should be able to expect “fairness, security, [and] to walk away from the poll booth knowing that my vote counted. If we didn’t win, we work harder next time to make sure our message resonates.”
“But to call this Jim Crow 2021 is an insult, my friends. For those who never lived Jim Crow, we are not in Jim Crow,” he insisted.[/B]
Earlier this month, Georgia State Rep. Wes Cantrell pointed out that Georgia’s voting laws are far more relaxed than the laws in Biden’s home state of Delaware. Yet the narrative that Georgia’s law is “un-American” or “Jim Crow on steroids” has led CEOs to condemn the law and Major League Baseball to move the All-Star Game out of the state, costing the state an estimated $100 million.

Is that forsythia or pink dogwood in the background?
"People" (outdoor writers) say it is ON when the dogwoods bloom (for turkeys and crappie).
This could be right in Ohio or Canadia ... I don't know ...
In the Carolinas, it's "Welcome to the party, pal!"

Redbuds
Forsythia is yellow and the dogwoods are white. Both are starting to bloom now as well.
Redbuds always bloom in mid April here. I associate them with turkeys.
Yesterday it snowed 4 inches and covered all the redbuds. The pink blossoms illuminated the snow and it looked like pink cotton candy. I didn't get a picture unfortunately. By 10.00am is was all melted.

Unclear why I didn't think of redbuds.... Lack of sleep is what I'll go with, though.
We have pink dogwoods here, in addition to the standard white ones which are the state flower of NC.
Also, Dogwood, SC is the fictional location of my upcoming novel ... Stay tuned :wink
(I checked a while back to see if there was a real Dogwood, and didn't come up with anything....But who nos now with all the building going on and all the fine people coming down on the bus ...)
Also, pink and purple forsythia. Purple forsythia were a favorite of the only grammaw I knew. I'm gonna call them purple, anyway. Not a Minnesota Vikings purple but a bluish purple. It creeps quite high and strong and eventually blocked a mostly unused entrance to my house growing up.
No one ever had the heart to cut it back ... LOL

I didn't realize there were pink dogwoods and pink forsythia. I bet those are beautiful.
The stone in the creek came from the cliff. You can see the cliffs in the picture. The area is in the center of the flinthills. That stone is natural and just happened to be squarish.
It's a pretty neat area with no agriculture - nothing can penetrate that soil really. So when you see or shoot a deer there, you feel like you have really earned it.

I thought maybe it was from an old mill, or part of a long-gone bridge, from when hardy settlers had to cross the rain-swollen creek, climb the cliff and trudge the rough trail into town each time they ran out of avocados and oat milk.
Pretty disappointing that it just fell off the side of the mountain (small hill). :wink:-):grin:

1605.) bluecat - 04/23/2021
Funny you should say that because about 20 yards from that spot I found a bunch of hair. It was long with some curls. I immediately thought I was at a crime scene and looked around for bones. I marked the spot and intended to drop the sample by the police station when back in town. While sitting in the blind, I got out the hair and started my examination. The hair was a little too coarse for human hair. I think it was the hair off the tail of a black Angus.
But yeah, I'm betting on the Indian Chief for sure. They had a lot of time on their hands and access to the peyote when everyone else was hunting and making stuff.

We got the Pfizer series. A little arm soreness for a day, but that was it. I wasn't crazy about being one of many canaries in the coal mine, and if we were significantly younger we might not have gotten it. But at 60 years old the math made it the lesser of the two risks.

[SIZE=3][QUOTE][B][SIZE=2]A Short History of Joe Biden’s Insanity on Guns[/SIZE][/B][/SIZE]
---David Harsanyi
[B]‘'Why do you need a gun when the government can just murder you at will?” is almost a perfect Bidenism. [/B] [Emphasis mine. --SF] It’s no exaggeration to say this is the argument Joe Biden made at a crime-prevention press conference this week:
"From the day [The Second Amendment] passed, it limited the type of people that could own a gun and what type of gun you could own. You couldn’t own a cannon … Those who say the blood of Patriots, you know, and all the stuff about how we’re gonna have to move against the government. . . . If you think you need to have weapons to take on the government, you need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons."
First, we should acknowledge that it’s bonkers for a president, even as a theoretical, to bring up the idea of scrambling fighter jets and deploying nuclear weapons against other Americans. Yet, only last year, Biden offered a slightly more coherent iteration of the same argument:
"Those who say ‘the tree of liberty is watered with the blood of patriots’ — a great line, well, guess what: The fact is, if you’re going to take on the government you need an F-15 with Hellfire Missiles. There is no way an AK-47 is going to take care of you."
The Jacobin-ish quote Biden is looking for comes from a Thomas Jefferson letter to William Stephens Smith, the son-in-law of John Adams, in which he wrote: “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” (Biden likes to leave out the last two words.) But who says this? I’m pretty involved in this debate, and I’ve never heard any gun proponent rationalize support for the protection of the Second Amendment by offering assurances of sporadic revolutionary bloodletting.
[B]Biden’s ideological argument conflicts with the rationale for all constitutional rights. After all, the president could just as easily have said: “The First Amendment? Let’s see how your television station holds up to a tactical nuclear strike” or “Really, what chance does due process have against a cluster bomb?” The citizenry isn’t conferred rights by the state or by force. When men in Massachusetts grabbed homemade muskets and powder and revolted against what was one of the most powerful military forces in the world, they weren’t ensured a victory. Arms are a bulwark against tyranny, not a guarantee.
[/B]
[Emphasis mine. --SF]
In the real world, of course, modern armies often struggle with insurgencies that are equipped with little more than small arms. There have been countless such deadly struggles around the world, including ones against Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan. It’s ironic, indeed, that Biden points to the Kalashnikov, which happens to be the favorite weapon of the world’s most successful terrorists, revolutionaries, and guerrilla fighters over the past 70 years. And if the U.S. government wouldn’t drop a nuclear weapon on al-Qaeda, why would it obliterate Kansas or Montana?
Americans, by the way, could absolutely own cannons during the Revolutionary Era — and long after. The very idea of any federal gun policy would have been incomprehensible to Americans at any time before the 1930s. Even then, no specific types of firearms were banned from use. It wasn’t really until 1986 when fully automatic guns were effectively restricted. Then again, Biden — who once asked, “Why should we allow people to have military-style weapons including pistols with 9-mm bullets and can hold 10 or more rounds?” — seems to believe that any firearm outside of a shotgun is a military-grade weapon.
“You give me a 9 millimeter Glock,” Biden once told Charlie Rose, “and you have a thirty-eight revolver, I’ll kill more people quickly in here. You’d shoot as many, but I’ll kill more.” Not long ago, Biden also suggested that cops who are rushed by an “unarmed person” with “a knife or something” should be trained to “shoot them in the leg instead of the heart.” Biden seems to believe everyone has his imaginary Annie Oakley–like abilities.
Anyway, Joe Biden doesn’t trust you with a Glock, but he really wants you to own a shotgun. Here is the then–vice president in 2013:
"Well, the way in which we measure it is — I think most scholars would say — is that as long as you have a weapon sufficient to be able to provide your self-defense. I did one of these town-hall meetings on the Internet and one guy said, “Well, what happens when the end days come? What happens when there’s the earthquake? I live in California, and I have to protect myself. Well, you know, my shotgun will do better for you than your AR-15, because you want to keep someone away from your house, just fire the shotgun through the door.”
First, please do not fire your shotgun through the door. It could be a neighbor or a Girl Scout selling Peanut Butter Patties. Life isn’t a movie. Second, any “scholar” who maintains that the Second Amendment only allows for weapons “sufficient” for personal self-defense is making things up. Though it’s somewhat of a mystery why, if shotguns are as deadly and effective as Biden claims, Democrats are intent on banning AR-15s.
In 2013, the vice president also told Parents magazine about the time he advised his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, to engage in a felony — aggravated menacing and reckless endangerment:
“I said, ‘Jill, if there’s ever a problem, just walk out on the balcony here, walk out and put that double-barrel shotgun and fire two blasts outside the house.’ . . . You don’t need an AR-15 — it’s harder to aim, it’s harder to use, and in fact you don’t need 30 rounds to protect yourself. Buy a shotgun! Buy a shotgun!”
This, needless to say, is also exceptionally bad advice. Just ask Jeffery Barton, a Vancouver, Wash., man who was charged with aggravated assault after illegally discharging a firearm that same year. “I did what Joe Biden told me to do,” Barton explained, after pleading not guilty. “I went outside and fired my shotgun in the air.”
[B]In both practice and theory, Biden’s gun rhetoric is dangerous nonsense.[/B]

[QUOTE]Biden’s false claim that the 2nd Amendment bans cannon ownership
By
Glenn Kessler
The Fact Checker
June 28, 2021 at 3:00 a.m. EDT
“And I might add: The Second Amendment, from the day it was passed, limited the type of people who could own a gun and what type of weapon you could own. You couldn’t buy a cannon.”
— President Biden, remarks on gun violence, June 23
The president offered this aside as he made a litany of his regular points about the need for background checks and what he says was the effectiveness of bans on assault weapons and large-capacity magazines that expired.
Parenthetical asides from a prepared text often trip up presidents, especially Biden. In this case, he repeated a claim — that Americans were prohibited from owning cannons — that [B]has already been fact-checked as false[/B] when he made it during the presidential campaign.
The Facts
The cannon element is what mostly interests us here, but we should also address Biden’s framing about the Second Amendment, which was part of the Bill of Rights adopted in 1791.
The meaning of the Second Amendment — “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed” — has long been debated. But experts said Biden especially mischaracterized it.
“Everything in that statement is wrong,” said David Kopel, the research director and Second Amendment project director at the Independence Institute. After 1791, “there were no federal laws about the type of gun you could own, and no states limited the kind of gun you could own.” Not until the early 1800s were there any efforts to pass restrictions on carrying concealed weapons, he said.
“I think what he’s saying here is that the Second Amendment was never understood to guarantee everyone the right to own all types of weapons, which I believe is true,” said Kermit Roosevelt, a constitutional law professor at the University of Pennsylvania. “As phrased, it sounds like the Second Amendment itself limited ownership, which is not true.”
[...]
Interestingly, during the campaign, Biden had asserted that the cannon restrictions happened during the Revolutionary War. “From the very beginning you weren’t allowed to have certain weapons,” Biden told Wired magazine in May 2020. “You weren’t allowed to own a cannon during the Revolutionary War as an individual.”
[B]Historians at the time told PolitiFact there was no evidence this was the case. The Biden campaign could not point to any laws but seemed to suggest Biden’s point was more metaphorical than grounded in reality.[/B]
[B][SIZE=2][COLOR="#008000"][LOL....This is a complete shit-show understanding of metaphors. Metaphors are grounded in reality. Reality A is like Reality B, but not literally.
Nothing that Shotgun Joe is saying is reality.
What the White House spokesman and the author are trying to say (or should be saying out loud) is that Joe is spouting complete bullshit, but trying to sound clever, intelligent and historical while he does it. --- Ed.-- Swamp Fox][/COLOR][/SIZE][/B]
[B]Now Biden has moved the cannon metaphor to some 20 years after the Revolutionary War — and it’s still wrong.
[/B]
In fact, you do not have to look far in the Constitution to see that private individuals could own cannons. Article 1, Section 8, Clause 11 gives Congress the power to declare war. But there is another element of that clause that might seem strange to modern ears — Congress also had the power to “grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal.”
What’s that? These were special waivers that allowed private individuals to act as pirates on behalf of the United States against countries engaged in war with it. The “letter of marque” allowed a warship to cross into another country’s territory to take a ship, while a “letter of reprisal” gave authorization to bring the ship back to the home port of the capturer.
Individuals who were given these waivers and owned warships obviously also obtained cannons for use in battle.
The White House did not provide an explanation of Biden’s comment.
The Pinocchio Test

The Fact Checker
June 28, 2021 at 3:00 a.m. EDT
“And I might add: The Second Amendment, from the day it was passed, limited the type of people who could own a gun and what type of weapon you could own. You couldn’t buy a cannon.”
— President Biden, remarks on gun violence, June 23
The president offered this aside as he made a litany of his regular points about the need for background checks and what he says was the effectiveness of bans on assault weapons and large-capacity magazines that expired.
Parenthetical asides from a prepared text often trip up presidents, especially Biden. In this case, he repeated a claim — that Americans were prohibited from owning cannons — that [B]has already been fact-checked as false[/B] when he made it during the presidential campaign.
The Facts
The cannon element is what mostly interests us here, but we should also address Biden’s framing about the Second Amendment, which was part of the Bill of Rights adopted in 1791.
The meaning of the Second Amendment — “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed” — has long been debated. But experts said Biden especially mischaracterized it.
“Everything in that statement is wrong,” said David Kopel, the research director and Second Amendment project director at the Independence Institute. After 1791, “there were no federal laws about the type of gun you could own, and no states limited the kind of gun you could own.” Not until the early 1800s were there any efforts to pass restrictions on carrying concealed weapons, he said.
“I think what he’s saying here is that the Second Amendment was never understood to guarantee everyone the right to own all types of weapons, which I believe is true,” said Kermit Roosevelt, a constitutional law professor at the University of Pennsylvania. “As phrased, it sounds like the Second Amendment itself limited ownership, which is not true.”
[...]
Interestingly, during the campaign, Biden had asserted that the cannon restrictions happened during the Revolutionary War. “From the very beginning you weren’t allowed to have certain weapons,” Biden told Wired magazine in May 2020. “You weren’t allowed to own a cannon during the Revolutionary War as an individual.”
[B]Historians at the time told PolitiFact there was no evidence this was the case. The Biden campaign could not point to any laws but seemed to suggest Biden’s point was more metaphorical than grounded in reality.[/B]
[B][SIZE=2][COLOR="#008000"][LOL....This is a complete shit-show understanding of metaphors. Metaphors are grounded in reality. Reality A is like Reality B, but not literally.
Nothing that Shotgun Joe is saying is reality.
What the White House spokesman and the author are trying to say (or should be saying out loud) is that Joe is spouting complete bullshit, but trying to sound clever, intelligent and historical while he does it. --- Ed.-- Swamp Fox][/COLOR][/SIZE][/B]
[B]Now Biden has moved the cannon metaphor to some 20 years after the Revolutionary War — and it’s still wrong.
[/B]
In fact, you do not have to look far in the Constitution to see that private individuals could own cannons. Article 1, Section 8, Clause 11 gives Congress the power to declare war. But there is another element of that clause that might seem strange to modern ears — Congress also had the power to “grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal.”
What’s that? These were special waivers that allowed private individuals to act as pirates on behalf of the United States against countries engaged in war with it. The “letter of marque” allowed a warship to cross into another country’s territory to take a ship, while a “letter of reprisal” gave authorization to bring the ship back to the home port of the capturer.
Individuals who were given these waivers and owned warships obviously also obtained cannons for use in battle.
The White House did not provide an explanation of Biden’s comment.
The Pinocchio Test

I was 14 at the time, but I still vividly recall watching the coverage of U.S. forces evacuating Saigon. This was like.deja vu, but with turbans. The scenes of people so desperate to escape that they're running along with a C-17, grabbing the landing gear and then falling hundreds of feet to their deaths when it gets airborne were tough to watch.

Anyone following the Rittenhouse trial who isn't thoroughly disgusted and angered by the corruption of the Kenosha DA's office (and associated local .gov apparatus) and the even-worse-than-usual depraved dishonesty of most of the MSM's coverage needs to be disconnected from life support.
1803.) Swamp Fox - 11/14/2021
Andrew Sulllivan has a recent piece on the phenomenon of the MSM's "mistakes," reporting later in need of correction, and false-narrative storytellling, all mysteriously leaning to one side.
I'll see if I can dig it up.
I can live with a lot of biased press. Some outlets (or sub-outlets) should be above the fray, though.
What is aggravating is that the outlets that consider themselves "guardians of journalism" are infested with partisans and fellow travelers who won't admit that their coverage has a slant.
The NYT had two beauts recently .... (I know, right?) ... Let me see if I can remember what they were. They kinda went together, and I thought about posting them but punted .... My guess is that first was a non-apology for idiocy over their shoddy, muckracking 1619 Project, and the second was their laughable coverage of the stout Republican win in Virginia's governor's race (including the black female Lt. Gov., as long as the whiny Left is concerned about counting quota points) ...
This last is only notable because the piece focused on local people's attitudes in the general area of the failed proposed [B]Blue-Gray Bow Hunt[/B] of BowCountry's yesteryear, while also managing a condescending tone to go along with getting the name of the the town and the history of the area's largest employer completely wrong.
Let me not mention the caption writer and possibly the photographer and others on the crew who got the vapors about a local landmark.
The correction (still waiting for the apology) notes that the author is "New York-based." ---

3. Being a single action revolver, Alec pulled that hammer back. No question, no argument, no debate. The amourer did no do that when he handed Alec the gun.

According to the few sources I can find on the revolver that was used it was a Pietta 1873, which is an Italian-made reproduction based on the Colt 1873 SAA. The only descriptions I can find of it say that it came in two different models, one with and one without a transfer-bar safety, with nobody seeming to know yet which variant was being used. In either case, even we accept Baldwin's version of events and assume that he did not pull the trigger, and the pistol fired when he released the hammer because it lacked a transfer-bar...he still pulled back the hammer and released it while the weapon was pointing at someone. And I think it pretty safe to further assume that, given his own protestations about his firearms ignorance, he didn't know jack about transfer-bars, and had no reason to assume there was any such mechanism in place to save him (and those around him) from his own stupidity.

This would be a Bozo No-No on any single-action I've ever touched, because it COULD fire.
There's a reason you carry single-actions, especially without a transfer bar, de-cocked on an empty chamber. On some modern guns, there's a half-cocked position without a transfer bar that's considered safe with a round in the chamber, because that hammer is not lowered on the firing pin waiting for a sharp blow. You'd have to pull the hammer back to full-cock and pull the trigger, or the hammer would have to slip.
I have owned one rifle without a transfer bar that had a slippy hammer. I got it fixed PDQ.

I have owned one rifle without a transfer bar that had a slippy hammer. I got it fixed PDQ.

It would be interesting to find out if he has already admitted to pulling the hammer all the way back to the locked position. If so he is locking in the possibilities of how it happened. He can't claim the hammer dropped on its own.
1826.) bluecat - 12/06/2021
He is guilty either way.
1827.) Swamp Fox - 12/07/2021
I didn't watch the interview and haven't really kept up with all the details.
My impression is he's going with "The gun just went off on its own."

He claims that he pulled the hammer back with his thumb and then released it, presumably before it reached the locked-back position.

Okay, so if he released the hammer like that without a full grip on the gun. I'm thinking the recoil would have been significant. Like hit your head significant.
1831.) Swamp Fox - 12/07/2021
Sounds like he had a full grip. See the script supervisor's statement etc. He was demonstrating a scene/scenario, apparently off-script. No reason to think he did not have a full grip.
I take this, below, to mean he had the revolver at full-cock and then just let the hammer slam without easing it down. But of course for that to be true, he would have had to touch the trigger momentarily, at least on a functionally-sound gun.
If he didn't have it at full cock and just let the hammer go, we're back to the other Bozo No-No we talked about before.

Among other things, Alec Baldwin claimed during his interview that he did not pull the trigger when he shot Halyna Hutchins. He also said he feels no guilt over what happened.

You can't have a full grip if your thumb is on the hammer.

I'm curious why the jury is still deliberating the Jussie Smollett case. Anything longer than 2 1/2 minutes seems crazy.
Question, did he put the noose back on for the trial?
I will give Jussie the "double down" award of the century though.

Often times it just means that they're working their way through figuring out some less-than-clear part of one or more of the charges. Of course, it could also mean one of them is a "you'll never convince me he's guilty" jack wagon who is trying to make some stupid statement.

I wasn't aware of the sunflower thing. Interestingly I have 125 sq ft of my garden-in-progress...enough for 25 plants...earmarked for the Mammoth Gray sunflower seeds I bought along with everything else. I sense a business opportunity.

Regardless of what point anyone might be trying to make, making any sort of comment that bears any resemblance at all to being anything other than unambiguous condemnation of Putin at this time is political idiocy. That might not be "fair", but it's a political reality that anyone who made it past middle school should understand.
That said...

The title question may turn out to be a bit of a trick. When I heard that the national Democratic Socialists of America had put out a statement on how things wound up turning out so badly in Ukraine last week and who should bear the brunt of the blame, I had an immediate guess. I’m willing to bet that at least a few of you thought they were going to say, Donald Trump, right? So did I. And I suppose he could be lumped in with their actual answer at some level, but the group is spraying a much wider blast of blame than any one person. The party that counts both Bernie Sanders and AOC as proud, card-carrying members is actually blaming America as a whole, along with NATO. (Man, that’s a lot of guilty parties.) And they are specifically blaming the “imperialist expansion” dreams of the United States and the rest of NATO for bringing us to this juncture. (NY Post)

VICE reports that Ukraine’s wealth of minerals had properties that were ideal for early blacksmiths.
“The country is lucky enough to have Precambrian metamorphosed sedimentary rocks rich in iron ore that are easy to refine,” said Jordan Newman, a Texas geologist and amateur blacksmith. “It's mostly hematite in quartz so when you smelt it you end up with slag that is easy to remove and won't contaminate your bloom. The silica also creates a glassy flux which further protects the refined iron from oxygen in the atmosphere. If you're a blacksmith in the early iron age when metallurgy was trial and error this would have been a blessing.”
Newman said that this is what made Ukraine a powerhouse of iron production, but added that this was a “double-edged sword” because “when you have resources someone else is going to want them.”
The Art of STEEL’s vehicle spikes are a smaller version of the anti-tank barriers being churned out by steelworkers in Kyiv.
"We build things. We do not know how to fight, but we knew we could be useful," Zakhar, a Kyiv construction foreman turned resistance coordinator, told Reuters.

[B][SIZE=3][I]Jen Psaki Is A Lying Liar Who Lies: Insane Gas Prices Edition[/I][/SIZE][/B]
[FONT=Arial Black][I][SIZE=2]President Joe Biden’s Press Secretary Jen Psaki tried to evade White House responsibility for soaring gas prices Monday, casting blame solely on overseas turmoil in Ukraine.
[/SIZE][/I][/FONT]
Gas prices hit a national average of $4.06 a gallon, according to AAA, this week reaching a new high not seen since 2008 when prices reached their all-time peak at $4.11.
“The increase,” Psaki said, “is a direct result of the invasion of Ukraine,” adding “there was an anticipation” of rising prices.
In anticipation, however, the White House has only exacerbated a self-inflicted crisis by doubling down on the administration’s war on domestic energy production in the name of climate change and environmental justice. As the impending invasion of Ukraine foreshadowed turbulence in global energy markets, President Biden’s Department of Justice reinstated the administration’s suspension of new oil and gas leases on federal lands through a legal filing in Louisiana.
Despite Psaki’s blame on Russian aggression for the spike in energy costs, gas prices began to soar upon Biden’s first days in office after the president’s inaugural orders shut down the Keystone XL pipeline and unilaterally suspended new oil and gas leases on public land.
According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), American gas prices eclipsed an average of $3 per gallon by May as President Biden unleashed a cascade of taxes and regulation on the industry while moving to lock down lucrative reserves. In other words, gas prices have been rising since Biden took office, not since Russia launched its invasion of neighboring Ukraine.
Biden’s suspension of new drilling on federal lands, while temporarily overturned by a federal judge in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana mid-summer, killed incentives in the capital- and labor-intensive industry for operations to keep up with demand, suppressing production. Producers require long-term planning and assurance their operations will remain in place before they pledge billions in new capital to drill in a particular area. That means new leases must always be on the horizon.
Cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline alone axed some 830,000 barrels of Canadian crude flowing to Gulf refineries while the U.S. simultaneously doubled imports of Russian oil. Last year, the U.S. welcomed an average of more than 600,000 barrels of Russian crude and related petroleum products daily, financing the Kremlin war machine. As the world’s third-largest oil producer providing more than 10 percent of global supply, Russia raked in $119 billion in resource revenues.
Biden is reluctant to sanction President Vladimir Putin’s energy sector, with the White House claiming the solution to rising prices is to pivot in favor of cleaner energy sources that are often unreliable and more expensive. Russian gas operations, meanwhile, produce 30 percent more methane than American operators. Iran, where the administration is hoping to lift sanctions and welcome its oil, hosts operations with 85 percent more intense methane emissions than their U.S. counterparts.
Biden could have brought down energy prices at any point in his presidency but instead has continued to escalate the administration’s animosity towards domestic production and the American worker. An enhanced regulatory regime combined with Wall Street pressure to restrict investment in the capital-intense industry has limited diplomatic options to counter Russian aggression by limiting domestic capacity to supplement supply shocks.
In Alaska for example, Democrats have sought to lock down decades worth of oil and gas reserves stored under a fraction of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) with reinstated environmental protections poised to become permanent.
Instead of unleashing American energy potential to reclaim the independence once briefly achieved under the Trump administration, Biden officials are now pleading with authoritarian adversaries in Venezuela and Saudi Arabia to ramp up production abroad.

[B][SIZE=3][I]Jen Psaki Is A Lying Liar Who Lies: Insane Gas Prices Edition[/I][/SIZE][/B]
[FONT=Arial Black][I][SIZE=2]President Joe Biden’s Press Secretary Jen Psaki tried to evade White House responsibility for soaring gas prices Monday, casting blame solely on overseas turmoil in Ukraine.
[/SIZE][/I][/FONT]
Gas prices hit a national average of $4.06 a gallon, according to AAA, this week reaching a new high not seen since 2008 when prices reached their all-time peak at $4.11.
“The increase,” Psaki said, “is a direct result of the invasion of Ukraine,” adding “there was an anticipation” of rising prices.
In anticipation, however, the White House has only exacerbated a self-inflicted crisis by doubling down on the administration’s war on domestic energy production in the name of climate change and environmental justice. As the impending invasion of Ukraine foreshadowed turbulence in global energy markets, President Biden’s Department of Justice reinstated the administration’s suspension of new oil and gas leases on federal lands through a legal filing in Louisiana.
Despite Psaki’s blame on Russian aggression for the spike in energy costs, gas prices began to soar upon Biden’s first days in office after the president’s inaugural orders shut down the Keystone XL pipeline and unilaterally suspended new oil and gas leases on public land.
According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), American gas prices eclipsed an average of $3 per gallon by May as President Biden unleashed a cascade of taxes and regulation on the industry while moving to lock down lucrative reserves. In other words, gas prices have been rising since Biden took office, not since Russia launched its invasion of neighboring Ukraine.
Biden’s suspension of new drilling on federal lands, while temporarily overturned by a federal judge in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana mid-summer, killed incentives in the capital- and labor-intensive industry for operations to keep up with demand, suppressing production. Producers require long-term planning and assurance their operations will remain in place before they pledge billions in new capital to drill in a particular area. That means new leases must always be on the horizon.
Cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline alone axed some 830,000 barrels of Canadian crude flowing to Gulf refineries while the U.S. simultaneously doubled imports of Russian oil. Last year, the U.S. welcomed an average of more than 600,000 barrels of Russian crude and related petroleum products daily, financing the Kremlin war machine. As the world’s third-largest oil producer providing more than 10 percent of global supply, Russia raked in $119 billion in resource revenues.
Biden is reluctant to sanction President Vladimir Putin’s energy sector, with the White House claiming the solution to rising prices is to pivot in favor of cleaner energy sources that are often unreliable and more expensive. Russian gas operations, meanwhile, produce 30 percent more methane than American operators. Iran, where the administration is hoping to lift sanctions and welcome its oil, hosts operations with 85 percent more intense methane emissions than their U.S. counterparts.
Biden could have brought down energy prices at any point in his presidency but instead has continued to escalate the administration’s animosity towards domestic production and the American worker. An enhanced regulatory regime combined with Wall Street pressure to restrict investment in the capital-intense industry has limited diplomatic options to counter Russian aggression by limiting domestic capacity to supplement supply shocks.

[QUOTE][B][I]Remembering Obama’s ‘Russia Reset’: Hillary and the ‘Skolkovo’ Misadventure[/I][/B]
Ah yes, let’s remember the Obama-era “Russia Reset.” It was announced with great ceremony by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, brandishing a red plastic “Reset” push-button that she presented to her counterpart, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Oops: The button was mislabeled Peregruzka (the Russian word for “overcharge”) rather than Perezagruzka (reset). As investigative journalist Claudia Rosett observes, the Kremlin still keeps the button on display in a museum at the Foreign Ministry, “less a souvenir of U.S.-Russia camaraderie than a symbol of American folly.”
Even as Putin continued his occupation of Georgia — having annexed about a fifth of that former Soviet territory in 2008 — President Obama kicked off the Reset by shelving Bush’s plans for missile-defense installations in Eastern Europe. Further courting the Russian dictator, Obama in 2010 revived the U.S.–Russia Civilian Nuclear Cooperation Agreement (Bush 43-era foolishness that had been scrapped after Putin invaded Georgia). The president insisted that, somehow, the pact advanced U.S. national security.
That was just the beginning of the administration’s promotion of Russia’s key industrial sectors, improving our declining but dangerous rival’s military and cyber capabilities and fortifying its capacity to extort the European nations and former Soviet republics that rely on Russia for their power needs.
Why? Because “Trade with Russia Is a Win-Win.” That was the headline of Secretary Clinton’s June 2012 Wall Street Journal op-ed, applauding Russia’s formal entry into the World Trade Organization (which her husband, President Bill Clinton, had championed even though Russia’s corrupt economic practices undermine the market-based norms the WTO is meant to fortify). Prioritizing trade was crucial, she explained, because Russia was just a great place for Americans to do business, and our commerce could now blossom since the Obama administration had made Moscow “a normal trading partner.” Sure, the Putin regime posed many challenges, but Clinton maintained that “it is in our long-term strategic interest to collaborate with Russia in areas where our interests overlap.”
Collaborate? That sounds almost like collu—well, never mind.
[...]
Why would our government do such a thing? At the time this was all going on, Clinton’s State Department issued its annual country-by-country findings on the state of civil liberties. Russia was found to be using technology “to monitor and control the internet.” The State Department elaborated that official corruption was rampant, security services engaged in sweeping surveillance of communications, journalists were under siege, dissidents were arbitrarily detained — and some even tortured and killed.
What was Secretary Clinton thinking?
As we’ve seen, most of the time, she was thinking about the Clinton Foundation, and money (I’d say not in that order, but it’s pretty much the same order). Putin’s regime dangled billions of dollars to invest in Skolkovo companies. Secretary Clinton immediately went to work attracting both corporate contributors and businesses deemed worthy of Russian investment.
The investigative journalist Peter Schweizer has done yeoman’s work exposing the grimy interplay between the Clinton Foundation and the State Department. By 2012, the last year of Secretary Clinton’s tenure, 60 percent of the “key partners” identified for the Skolkovo venture (17 out of 28) had “made financial commitments to the Clinton Foundation, totaling tens of millions of dollars, or sponsored speeches by Bill Clinton.” Russians tied to Skolkovo also gave to the Clinton Foundation, including Viktor Vekselberg, a billionaire confidant of Putin’s who was chosen to run the Skolkovo Foundation.
There is symmetry here. Again, no one would sensibly say that Secretary Clinton wanted to make Russia a more capable adversary — and as things turned out, I’d wager that strengthening the regime’s cyber proficiency would be something she’d regret (if she were given to that kind of introspection). But it is like the irresponsible mishandling of top-secret information, and the storing and transmission of any sensitive government information, classified or otherwise, on a non-secure server system: it’s not that Clinton did not know what she was doing or that she didn’t apprehend the risks; it is that she had other priorities and threw caution to the wind — pretty much the textbook definition of gross negligence.
She wasn’t alone: this was not Secretary Clinton’s administration, but President Obama’s. He calculated that abetting and appeasing Russia was a price worth paying for “help” on the Iran deal and in Syria. How well that all worked out, no?

I saw reports about that earlier, though the Russians are claiming that the damage was the result of an ordnance magazine exploding due to an on-board fire, not Ukrainian weapons. That has the fishy aroma of Russian propaganda about it, of course.
It'll be interesting to see if any real evidence one way or the other emerges, as this would be a major embarrassment for the Russians if true. IIRC, no navy has lost a capital ship to enemy fire since that little kerfuffle in the Falklands.

[QUOTE][B][SIZE=3]When asked whether they’d flee or fight an invading force, far too many Millennials and Gen-Zers give the wrong answer.[/SIZE][/B]
As part of a recent survey of attitudes toward Russia’s execrable invasion of Ukraine, the polling firm Quinnipiac asked Americans whether they would stay and fight if the United States were invaded by Russia. The results make sobering — and often disgraceful — reading. Sixty-eight percent of Republicans said that they would “stay and fight,” with 25 percent indicating that they’d run away. Among independents, those numbers are 57–36. Among Democrats, they’re in negative territory, at 40–52. Among 50- to 64-year-old men and women, the stay/leave numbers are 66/28. Among 18- to 34-year-olds, they are 45/48. Or, to put it another way: [B]A majority of the prime-aged Americans whom the United States would need were such a crisis to arise imagine that they would flee if that crisis ever came.[/B] [Emphasis mine.]
[...]
I can conceive of only two reasons that an able-bodied man might tell a pollster that he would run away in the face of a foreign invasion. The first is that he believes America is not worth fighting for, because it is less worthwhile than dictatorial rule under the invader. The second is that he believes that, if he flees, someone else will do the fighting on his behalf. Neither is acceptable. To fail to grasp one’s extraordinary fortune as an American is to be guilty of historical ignorance and chronic ingratitude, while to believe that America is worth defending while you remain unwilling to pitch in is to be guilty of cowardice as most perfectly defined.

[QUOTE][B][SIZE=3]God Bless America: Land That I Loathe?[/SIZE][/B]
Students’ increasingly cynical views of America come as no surprise when one notices what they are being confronted with on their college campuses. The University at Buffalo’s Intercultural and Diversity Center held an event last year called “The Real History of Thanksgiving” in order to highlight America’s homegrown holiday’s “whitewashed history” and “the impact of settler colonialism on Indigenous people.” This past January, literary theory and cultural-history professor Tao Leigh Goffee of Cornell University tweeted that capitalism is rooted in slavery, writing, “Chattel slavery transformed modern finance into what it is, and thus every subsequent act of financialization must be understood as a racializing one.” Many colleges host and praise the work of Nikole Hannah-Jones, the creator of the 1619 Project, which presents an inaccurate version of American history focusing on slavery as not just the centerpiece of America’s Founding but also the very reason for the American Revolution. Some professors teach the tenets of the project outright in their classrooms. The fact that Hannah-Jones’s work is celebrated on campuses is disturbing and another way in which students receive anti-American messages.
Polling of young adults nationwide suggests lack of patriotism is not restricted to the college campus. A July 2021 poll by the Pew Research Center asked what statement best illustrates respondents’ view of the U.S. It found that, among people ages 18–29, only 10 percent said the “U.S. stands above all other countries in the world.” This age group chose that response at the lowest rate of those polled. Forty-eight percent answered that America “is one of the greatest countries, along with others,” while 42 percent said “other countries are better than the U.S.” — the highest percentage choosing this response of any age group polled. These numbers do not reflect a great deal of patriotism among the youth in America.
Patriotism often comes into play when America is attacked, such as after Pearl Harbor or 9/11. It was incumbent upon the nation’s men to comply with the draft and dutifully serve their country in World War II. After 9/11, 181,510 were inspired to enlist in active duty. Twenty years later, it’s a different story.

The fact that Hannah-Jones’s work is celebrated on campuses is disturbing and another way in which students receive anti-American messages.
Polling of young adults nationwide suggests lack of patriotism is not restricted to the college campus. A July 2021 poll by the Pew Research Center asked what statement best illustrates respondents’ view of the U.S. It found that, among people ages 18–29, only 10 percent said the “U.S. stands above all other countries in the world.” This age group chose that response at the lowest rate of those polled. Forty-eight percent answered that America “is one of the greatest countries, along with others,” while 42 percent said “other countries are better than the U.S.” — the highest percentage choosing this response of any age group polled. These numbers do not reflect a great deal of patriotism among the youth in America.
Patriotism often comes into play when America is attacked, such as after Pearl Harbor or 9/11. It was incumbent upon the nation’s men to comply with the draft and dutifully serve their country in World War II. After 9/11, 181,510 were inspired to enlist in active duty. Twenty years later, it’s a different story.

I've decided that my favorite military rank is colonel.
Not only do you get to sit on a veranda and supervise the cooking of fried chicken to your taste while sipping a few mint juleps, but you also have the power to discombobulate a lot of captains just for the fun of it while expressing your opinions freely because you know you'll never be a general (or don't want to be).

Two high-ranking Russian military officers have been caught shit-talking Kremlin leadership in unimaginably colorful language. The two colonels blast the defense minister and lash out at that “mother****er” Vladimir Putin for his poor strategy in Ukraine, according to a leaked recording of a phone conversation.
While Western and Ukrainian intelligence agencies have routinely reported on plunging morale among rank-and-file Russian troops fighting in Ukraine, many of whom have been heard complaining of dysfunction in intercepted communications, the latest audio appears to be the first to expose frustrations among high-ranking officers.
[...]
The pair’s expletive-laced venting session has surfaced as Western intelligence reports more and more mutiny by Russian troops on the battlefield. The British Ministry of Defence, in its latest assessment, said Putin’s soldiers are likely going to be even less effective going into the fourth month of the war, due to the “the loss of a large proportion of the younger generation of professional officers.”
“More immediately, battalion tactical groups which are being reconstituted in Ukraine from survivors of multiple units are likely to be less effective due to a lack of junior leaders,” the ministry said, adding that the shortage of “experienced and credible platoon and company commanders is likely to result in a further decrease in morale and continued poor discipline.”
In line with that assessment, Ukraine’s Security Service on Tuesday released audio of what it said was a Russian soldier telling his wife about his unit’s recent rebellion against a Russian general.
After troops refused to follow orders to go to the frontline, he said, the general “started waving his gun and shooting,” threatening to fire at those who wouldn’t follow orders.
But another guy in the unit quickly whipped out a grenade and threatened the general right back, saying, “Come on, shoot me! We’ll blow up together!,” he said.
“The special forces guys also started pointing their guns at us. So, we pointed our guns at them. Basically, we almost shot each other, for ****’s sake,” he said.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia took aim Sunday at Western military supplies for Ukraine, launching airstrikes on Kyiv that it claimed destroyed tanks donated from abroad. Ukraine said the missiles hit a train repair shop. Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that any Western deliveries of long-range rocket systems to Ukraine would prompt Moscow to hit “objects that we haven’t yet struck.”
The cryptic threat of a military escalation from the Russian leader didn’t specify what the new targets might be, but it comes days after the United States announced plans to deliver $700 million of security assistance for Ukraine. Those weapons include four precision-guided, medium-range rocket systems, as well as helicopters, Javelin anti-tank weapon systems, radars, tactical vehicles and more.[/QUOTE]
Considering that there aren't many Ukrainian areas Russia hasn't yet shelled, one wonders what this means.
And it seems obvious --- to me at least--- that Putin will not be satisfied with just a piece of Ukraine ...

[QUOTE]After several days of various Washington Post staffers dragging internal feuds into the public square of Twitter, Executive Editor Sally Buzbee sent a memo to Post staff admonishing them to “treat each other with respect and kindness.” And of course, because we live in the year 2022 and that sadly seems to be how things work, Buzbee’s missive spawned newly tweeted vitriolic spats.
The kerfuffle began when Post political reporter David Weigel retweeted a tweet by YouTuber Cam Harless that said, “Every girl is bi. You just have to figure out if it’s polar or sexual.”
Weigel’s colleague Felicia Sonmez took a screenshot of Weigel’s retweet and posted it on Friday with the comment, “Fantastic to work at a news outlet where retweets like this are allowed!”
“I just removed a retweet of an offensive joke,” Weigel tweeted later that day. “I apologize and did not mean to cause any harm.”
That did not end the controversy.[/QUOTE]

I've missed out on a real revenue opportunity here. You can buy DIY printers for as low as $99 and print those "guns" (generally non-functional even) for about $5 in materials each. It takes about 6-8 hours per print, unattended. So figure an outlay of $1K for a small farm of 10 printers turning out 30 copies per day (including the occasional print failure, which the cops wouldn't even recognize). If you know about the "buy back" a week in advance you could print yourself ~$29,450 in profit, minus your time spent starting and ending each print (refilling filament, etc).

I saw something on this today. A piece by someone close to the episode noted a manufacturing cost of about $3 each and a "non-functioning firearm" brought a bounty of $50. So, no five-figure payday this time, but still a tidy profit. Pays for a very nice rifle.
Speaking of which, according to this account a working handgun brought $150, but an "automatic" firearm was only worth $200.
Someone will have to rethink their economic model, or perhaps re-learn some terminology.
Oh, and ---Bummer! ---After this farce, the geniuses behind this "buy-back" have decided to exclude 3-D printed menaces from their future do-gooderism ...

[Really? Dan McLaughlin “defends Putin”? Dan McLaughlin has been silent on Putin and his invasion of Ukraine? The Dan McLaughlin whose judgments of Putin have been — without exception — that he’s “a James Bond villain . . . who has invaded his neighbors before”; that he’s a “dictator” and a “strongman”; that he’s “the bad guy” who runs a “repressive state” on “brute force and bluster”; that he heads up a “revanchist Russia” that “seeks the extermination of the Ukrainian state”? The same Dan McLaughlin who has written that “Putin is the bad actor here; he’s what drives the war. If you’re morally indifferent to that, you’ve elevated neutrality above virtue or order”? The same Dan McLaughlin who has complained that, while most Republicans back Ukraine, a “fair number of Trump partisans in the media to see Putin as a friend in domestic American political squabbles”? The same Dan McLaughlin who has said of Zelensky that he “is everything you could ask from a man whose country is against the wall: emotional, determined, and specifically evocative rather than windy and general”? The same Dan McLaughlin who wrote: “Godspeed to Zelensky and his nation in this hour of need”? The same Dan McLaughlin who has observed of Ukraine: “Ukraine today is the face of how democracy, liberty, & national self-determination look in much of the world in 2022: fitful & flawed, but deserving of more chances to survive & improve. Russia is the face of the ancient enemy of all those things, bent on extinguishing them”? The same Dan McLaughlin who has proposed that “if your sympathies are visibly not with Ukraine against Russia in this war, expect people to lose respect for you”?

Or: How every political story now unfolds
TOP STORIES
Stacey Abrams’s Very Bad Day in Court
Kamala Harris Finds Her Level of Incompetence
EV Trucks Are Not Trucks
On Day 1, a no-name opinion columnist at the Los Angeles Times writes a piece arguing that you should probably cancel your plans for the coming weekend and cut off your foot with a hay sickle.
Initially, this essay is overlooked, until, on the morning of Day 4, it is discovered by a Twitter user whose other output makes his account un-retweetable. Within an hour, the column has become the top trending topic online, and thereby the source of most of the conversations among journalists, politicians, and the terminally plugged-in.
By midafternoon, the Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh has critiqued the piece in a mini-documentary that is released on, and then pulled down from, YouTube. In response to Walsh’s work, a blue-check propaganda account that obtained its large following from its stint as a Taylor Swift fan-feed claims that the documentary is in violation of the Geneva Convention. This claim receives 92,000 retweets, is endorsed by Laurence Tribe and Ted Lieu, and forms the core of the next six weeks of programming on MSNBC.
Arriving first to the hot-take punch, a Vox writer who has neither read the column nor watched Walsh’s video weighs in to explain with confidence that all opposition to cutting off your feet with a hay sickle is a “social construct” that “emerged” in about 2018. At Salon, Amanda Marcotte backs this theory but complains that, while this is probably true, she can’t help but notice that the discussion about cutting off your feet with a hay sickle is being conducted “mostly by white men.” At the Atlantic, Adam Serwer repudiates the Vox piece by proposing that the most racist people on the 1957 Little Rock School Board were against cutting off your feet with a hay sickle, and inviting his readers to “think hard” about what “that tells us” about the practice’s “contemporary critics — which include Republican Senator Tim Scott.”
Serwer’s Atlantic piece is promptly read by the sort of people who produce afternoon TV. On CNN, Jim Acosta interrupts an urgent report about a terrorist attack in Canada to remind viewers that hay sickles are dangerous and to reassure them that, despite this, he is brave enough to proceed with his story. On The View, Joy Behar gives the impression that, despite her strong opinions on the matter, she doesn’t really know what a hay sickle is, while Ana Navarro tells the audience that, as a “proud Latina,” she personally likes to call sickles “sicklelôs.” Seeing this, AOC immediately begins an Instagram livestream in which she indignantly explains that opposition to cutting your foot off with a hay sickle is “the historical linchpin of the capitalist-privilege campaign against workers’ rights.” Halfway through AOC’s spot, Marjorie Taylor Greene walks past and shouts that sickles of all sorts are “Communist.” At the White House, Karine Jean-Pierre tells Philip Wegmann that the president is monitoring the situation from Delaware.
On Truth Social, Donald Trump contends that Mitch McConnell and “his Asian wife ought to cut off their feet with a hay sickle!” This prompts Breitbart to suggest that, while cutting off your foot with a hay sickle is a bad idea “in general,” Trump “has a point.” Horrified, the Bulwark runs an editorial calling for former presidents to be arrested if they even “discuss hay sickles.” At the Dispatch, David French assiduously splits the difference, proposing that if “Americans of good faith” are determined to cut their feet off with hay sickles, they must ensure that their “souls remain intact” throughout. Here at National Review, we all disagree mildly with one another.

Or: How every political story now unfolds

On Day 1, a no-name opinion columnist at the Los Angeles Times writes a piece arguing that you should probably cancel your plans for the coming weekend and cut off your foot with a hay sickle.
Initially, this essay is overlooked, until, on the morning of Day 4, it is discovered by a Twitter user whose other output makes his account un-retweetable. Within an hour, the column has become the top trending topic online, and thereby the source of most of the conversations among journalists, politicians, and the terminally plugged-in.
By midafternoon, the Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh has critiqued the piece in a mini-documentary that is released on, and then pulled down from, YouTube. In response to Walsh’s work, a blue-check propaganda account that obtained its large following from its stint as a Taylor Swift fan-feed claims that the documentary is in violation of the Geneva Convention. This claim receives 92,000 retweets, is endorsed by Laurence Tribe and Ted Lieu, and forms the core of the next six weeks of programming on MSNBC.
Arriving first to the hot-take punch, a Vox writer who has neither read the column nor watched Walsh’s video weighs in to explain with confidence that all opposition to cutting off your feet with a hay sickle is a “social construct” that “emerged” in about 2018. At Salon, Amanda Marcotte backs this theory but complains that, while this is probably true, she can’t help but notice that the discussion about cutting off your feet with a hay sickle is being conducted “mostly by white men.” At the Atlantic, Adam Serwer repudiates the Vox piece by proposing that the most racist people on the 1957 Little Rock School Board were against cutting off your feet with a hay sickle, and inviting his readers to “think hard” about what “that tells us” about the practice’s “contemporary critics — which include Republican Senator Tim Scott.”
Serwer’s Atlantic piece is promptly read by the sort of people who produce afternoon TV. On CNN, Jim Acosta interrupts an urgent report about a terrorist attack in Canada to remind viewers that hay sickles are dangerous and to reassure them that, despite this, he is brave enough to proceed with his story. On The View, Joy Behar gives the impression that, despite her strong opinions on the matter, she doesn’t really know what a hay sickle is, while Ana Navarro tells the audience that, as a “proud Latina,” she personally likes to call sickles “sicklelôs.” Seeing this, AOC immediately begins an Instagram livestream in which she indignantly explains that opposition to cutting your foot off with a hay sickle is “the historical linchpin of the capitalist-privilege campaign against workers’ rights.” Halfway through AOC’s spot, Marjorie Taylor Greene walks past and shouts that sickles of all sorts are “Communist.” At the White House, Karine Jean-Pierre tells Philip Wegmann that the president is monitoring the situation from Delaware.
