And why not, half the time I’m on the road. Why not some tales.
So, Tales #1…
It’s god damned hard core Viking Death Wish cold. 0F, blowing snow and arctic. The windchill is -15F below here in NW PA.
The drive to was going to be ice and cold, get the Benz warmed up, put on some Dead and have a AJ Fernandez New World, ease into the never-ending unpredictability that is my assignment in the only ER/Trauma out in the stix. A shark-Caddie would not function well if at all in this environment, nor would the Miata. A butt-warmer in a fast, well-shod German SUV is never a bad thing. The 520HP AMG AWD package doesn’t hurt either. A fast Teutonic war-chariot would be needed, indeed. The beast is fast from 0-60, but, it is brain-bendingly fast from 70-120mph…and that is where it counts. It passes the $20 bill test.
I knew that I was headed out to the stix again, I could feel it in my bones. My last assignment was as an assassin, I don’t relish those; write reports, recommend firing for failure,. I did it in my past life. The boss wanted me back in the field after the massacre to clear the blood and and get back to what I like. I’m still doing the paper work of the assassinations. For some reason, corporate thinks it’s easier to send a guy to assassinate…sexist? I think so. The incompetent had to go.
So, I get to back to a non-descript ER in NW PA. I had a great pie and a beer here .
Last time I was here, I had the single most terrifying hour of my ER life. TNK given for back to back STEMIs and there were no helicopters flying…and I had two Students with me…

Damn it. Slipped and fell again. I’ve had some kind of weird soft bump on my knee since wiping out in October, and now I’ve slammed into that knee again. (This is also the same knee that all of my connective tissues were diagnosed destroyed last year. And arthritis is also there.)
Don’t really want to go to doctor about it again, but if swelling and pain don’t go away in two days I guess I have no choice.
@ Deplorable Martian Overlord:
Ow, man.
Sorry to hear it.
(the only time i’ve had a weird soft bump on my knee it was a hematoma)
I was getting gout in both knees, an ankle, and a wrist until I went on allopurinol this past year. Took four months to get the dose right, but it’s been a lifesaver.
The gout has given me, however, pretty serious osteoarthritis in both feet and knees.
Deplorable Bumr50 wrote:
My gout is only in my big toe.
I haven’t figured out what the bump is yet. No discoloration, it’s moved around a bit but hasn’t shrunk, and has been there since mid-october. It doesn’t hurt, it’s just “squishy”. Not very big either about the twice the size of a bayer aspirin.
Michael Knowles nails this Covington thing. (He’s Catholic, and as critical as anyone of the current crisis in the RCC) I hesitate to link because I can’t stand Shapiro anymore, but he nails this, and has righteous anger for these young men.

FRANCE LATEST: MACRON’S GOVERNMENT ANGERED BY ITALIAN LEADER’S CRITICISM
https://nextrushfree.blogspot.com/2019/01/france-latest-macrons-government.html
http://www.fox19.com/2019/01/22/covington-catholic-high-school-closes-tuesday/
Good morning. Covington Catholic High School closed today for security concerns.
This article does not point out that AIM , Antifa, and the Indiana Women’s March plans to go to the school today
To harass and try to provoke these teenagers. Does anybody seriously believe that Antifa. would attack individual kids in groups?
The Native American man, Nathan Phillips, told The Detroit Free Press that he believed the “beastly” teenagers “were in the process of attacking these four black individuals” and he consequently intervened. The interaction between the boys and Phillips followed, with Phillips beating his drum in front of the crowd of high schoolers for a few minutes. As the footage indicates, it was actually quite logical for the boys to believe that Phillips was on their side, and the video apparently depicts them responding to his presence with goofy, jocular warmth.
Here is a comment from that goofy Indian elder. This was of course before the whole video was released.
That shows a very different story. Never mind , the students must be punished for the greater good.
Social justice doncha know.
RIX wrote:
Antifa will do anything that gets them props. I did read that one group had decided to back off their protest after reading about increased security – I think it was a Native American group.
You know what I’d do if it were up to me? Bring in Blackwater. Or at the very least, consult Erik Prince. And I’d make some security obvious as hell. Horses. Get some mounted cowboys and play cowboys and indians for fucking real.
@ Deplorable Bumr50:
I’d not heard of Nicholas Frankovich before he wrote that POS article, but I can’t recall one person causing such blowback in such a short time period. The rumor National Review wants us to believe – and it might even be true – is that it was posted w/o review by Rich Lowry – like at 3 am in the morning – and Lowry is just beside himself w/frustration. Gnashing teeth and all that.
I did notice that an arrogantly devout person, tho, kinda missed the part about ‘bearing false witness’. The secular ‘pride goeth before a fall’ seemed to hit closer to home.

It wasn’t blackface, it was one of their theme nights, it was debunked in about 30 seconds. THEN they were shown giving the racist ‘ok’ sign during a game and got called out for lying about the ‘3-pointer’ signal.
The way this stops is pain. A lot of it.

CNN reported Monday afternoon that Twitter suspended an account that posted a minute-long video showing the confrontation between the Native American elder and the Covington high school students, with the caption, “This MAGA loser gleefully bothering a Native American protester at the Indigenous Peoples March.”
The account claimed to belong to a California schoolteacher but its profile photo belonged to a blogger based in Brazil, CNN Business found.

Nathan Phillips rally attempted to disrupt Mass at DC’s National Shrine
Washington D.C., Jan 22, 2019 / 03:58 pm (CNA).- While chanting and playing ceremonial drums, a group of Native American rights activists reportedly led by Nathan Phillips attempted Jan. 19 to enter Washington, D.C.’s Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception during a Saturday evening Mass.
The group of 20 demonstrators was stopped by shrine security as it tried to enter the church during its 5:15 pm Vigil Mass, according to a shrine security guard on duty during the Mass.
“It was really upsetting,” the guard told CNA.
“There were about twenty people trying to get in, we had to lock the doors and everything.”
The guard said the incident was a disappointment during a busy and joyful weekend for the shrine.
“We had hundreds and hundreds of people from all over the country come here to celebrate life, to celebrate each other together. That a protest tried to come inside during Mass was really the worst.”
The guard told CNA the situation was “tense.”

Look at how USA Today spins the actions of Terrible Tonto. At one small part of the Interview the kid says, “I wish that we could have walked away”. The suggestion is that the kids were really at fault.

The kids lawyer laid out the elements in libel agaist these kids. They are non public figure juveniles.
In this case malice is not required (although it was malicious). All that is necessary is that they did it and the Pima facile evidence exists. The attorney has a particular interest in Maggie Habbaman of the NYT.
The truth would be an absolute defense , but the video record proves that they were wrong.
He gave everybody 48 hours to retract apologise.
