    I don’t know where he was – hardware store maybe – but I saw a clip earlier of Biden just standing there looking like he had zero idea where he was.

    Yeah, he’s been caught having a couple episodes over the last few weeks. Once on a teleconference with reporters and dem leaders and once doing the disaster relief for TX. It’s looking real bad. Other countries press are picking up on it and asking questions.

    Well, I think I finally found something that CBD has some effect on me with. Having really bad gout flare up right now and have some broad spectrum CBD samples oral and topical. Combined with Ibuprofen they seem to be giving me some relief against the inflammation. At least the agony is down to tolerable levels now. So, I guess they actually might be good for that at least. Inflammation seems to be where they are the most effective.

    @ coldwarrior:
    4 hours to go before the Kick-off of the REAL America’s Cup. Sailing conditions are excellent on the Hauraki Gulf with a current Souwester turning to a Norwester later in the afternoon at 15 knots and smooth seas. First race at 1600 and a second at about 1745. The Italians look dangerous but the word is out that the Kiwi’s boat is a rocket shipwith capability of 50 knots and up to 60 knots if you’re brave. It’ll be down to how close to the edge the Kiwis are prepared to go. Especially rounding the marks where things can go catastrophically wrong at high speed.

    My guess is that the Kiwi boat will be all over the Italians like a rash but they have to keep their boat in one piece to win with first with 7 wins.

    Yup.

    US elections are now passed given that the Democrats are putting rules in place that make a mockery of voter security.The only way that the RNC can compete is to out cheat the DNC.

    The US electoral system has so many variables that depend on State legislation that they become suseptible to cheating and lack oversight.

    The other side of the Democrat tactic is to so dispirit their opponents that the RNC don’t even turn up at the polls.

    Between industrial strength cheating an keeping the RNC at home the Democrats will win every election until they are removed at the point of a bayonet.

    Some RNC types don’t seem to realise these facts.

    My girl friend’s aunt turned me on to the CBD oil she used, she swore by it. I started taking the drops Sept 2019 and bought some of their relief cream at the same time. It takes a couple of weeks for the drops to start to work, once you find your sweet spot, mine is about 5 drops twice a day. I haven’t had a severe gout attack since I started taking the drops. When I feel that joint tightness starting, I rub the relief cream into the joint, increase the drops and flex the joint, sometimes it takes a couple of days for it fade out. I started taking it because I screwed up my right knee and foot a few years ago, it helped. I just received my 3rd order of the relief cream; a bottle of the drops will last about 2 months. It ain’t cheap but it works for me.

    Am I crazy? I don’t intend to blame the victim here, but why do women not have the where withall to to just knee these guys in the nuts? A throat punch is not out of order.

    That’s the way I was raised. CW and some others here have daughters. What are you telling them?

    I was 10 years old when I came home in tears because some asshole on the playground kept throwing my skirt over my head and grabbing me between my legs. I won’t go into the entire story but that’s when my father taught me to throw a punch.

    I just do not understand why physical consequences are just out of the question for women. I’m not strong anymore but if I decide you’re out of line, you’re going to wish YOU were dead.

    There’s no excuse for Cuomo. But there’s also no excuse for these women having zero mental tools to take him down and for Cuomo and his ilk to not know it in advance.

    Hmm, that seems to be violating first amendment establishment clause — and will cause a real moral issue for Christian children as this is chanting worship of a pagan false god.

    I was thinking about this question for the woke crowd today. If I’m woodworking and make something from, say, African Rosewood, but use a Japanese cutoff saw or a European turning gouge to shape the wood, am I guilty of cultural appropriation? Can I only use african style tools on african wood, South American tools on woods from South American and European and American tools only on wood from the US and Europe? Seems like something the woke crowd should look into and would make a wonderful study for one of their so-called college intellectuals to explore.

    Yes. Denounce yourself.

    A year or so ago I was an afficiando of the Iditarod. I sponsored a dog in the race.

    As I experienced it, it was via twitterfeed. And I loved it. Keep in mind, this was not directed toward me, because I had not used the term. But somebody said ‘spirit animal’. And was gently chided that it was ‘cultural appropriation’.

    Well, you know me. I popped up with IN ENGLISH?? Or am I just not allowed to have the idea?

    I dropped the entire twitter Iditarod culture, the dog I had sponsored, the whole nine yards.

    I canceled them. There aren’t many things that can get between me and dogs, but that garbage managed to do it.

    Politics on FB is a game of out-trolling the trolls. I mostly use it as a news link supplement (after I check out what Eaglesoars has turned up).

    Eaglesoars is currently swimming in the monarchal crisis in the UK. And no, it’s not just about those two grifters,H&M, this is deadly serious.

    Her Majesty really should yank those titles. She can’t do anything about his status as a prince, that’s a birthright, but the dukedom, earldom, etc yank all of it.

    As I have opined previously …. Markle has Harry’s balls in her handbag.

    Harry should be media savvy enough given his background NOT to get caught lying so obviously. Don’t forget mate the interweb never forgets!

    Talk about swimming…

    This is a great reason NOT to go swimming on all of those great Gold Coast canals.

    Like everything in Australia ….. it all looks wonderful and scenic, but EVERYTHING there is out to eat you, bite you or poison you.

    🙂

    Some idiot sneak thief was burglarising canal houses in a row boat last week. She got caught trying to row away … pst oe oar and finally dived into the 2 metre deep canal. This is NOT a very smart idea as the canals are swarming with big crazy hungry Bull Sharks with a taste for human flesh!

    lemme tell ya, Harry is no innocent. One of his former girlfriends said he’s not a nice person, that no matter how cool you think you are, how you treat people is the tell.

    It’s true that his balls are in her purse, but he’s a vindictive son of a bitch.

    Of course he is.

    He bought into the whole elitist rule the world schtick years ago. His mates in the Marines gave him a wide berth because he was using them as ‘extras in his PR shots and he was a walking talking Target for every Taliban marksman in Afghanistan. He was dangerous to be around. His helicopter flying was minimal as the Taleb knew when he was flying from sources inside the base and every Taleb wanted to collect his scalp for their belt. Eventually because it was causing problems with his squadron he was transferred back home and the Apache drivers went back to doing what they were supposed to do.

    Then we had the whole ‘wounded warriors’ thingie. The Invictus Games were supposed to be about the athletes (former and still serving wounds warriors) but Harry sucked all of the Oxygen out of the games and it became all about him. I know all about it as we sent out VP of the ARSA to Florida as a representative as well as a dozen wounded vets. Harry and the press are toxic and the vets got left in his dust. Then we have the obvious signals from Harry showing his pedigree with the world’s OWG Masonic Order with the hidden hand and all the rest ‘sekret stuff’ 🙂
    Pathetic !

    Mrs. and Mr. Markle deserve each other. They are media whores living off their celebratory status and contributing zip. Harry will always be Prince Harry Wales-Mountbatten. Markle’s royal title is just an honorific nothing more. Their kids like all of the Queen’s great Grandchildren DO NOT HAVE TITLES.

    Markle should have researched that a little more before hooking Harry.

    🙂

    Archie will just be plain old Mr. Archie Wales Mountbatten forevermore.

    It’s interesting where the Windsor’s got their name. Queen Victoria was married to a German who’s pedigree was Von BattenBerg. (from Batten Mountain) but WWI ruined that for all of Victoria’s children and Grandchildren. So Queen Elizabeth’s uncle became Mountbatten, the Anglicised version of von Battenberg and the ‘House of Windsor’ (the Queen’s official home’ ) was born to cover the children of Victoria’s progeny.

    Prince Charles had his favourite Grand Uncle Lord Mountbatten until the IRA blew up his sail boat in Ireland.

    Day #2 for the America’s Cup Racing on the Waitaamata Harbour. One race each team.
    Alas the wind has forsaken the Waitamata Harbour. Just 3-5 knots. Hoping for something above 10-12 knots by race time 1600 this afternoon.

    The Kiwi boat is not set up for light winds, with its truncated small foils that cut drag at speed but loose grip at low speeds and allow the hull to ‘touch down’ killing speed during turns.

    Beautiful day here. at 1200. Lunchtime. Blue sky and smooth conditions on the azure harbour.

    WE WANT WIND!

    Prime Minister ‘cindy’ just deigned to reduce the Level #2 lockdown in Auckland where there has been zero community spread of Wuhan Flu for almost 2 weeks. She is still screwing about with small business holders and appears to be enjoying keeping them in the dark until the last moment. There is something very warped in this one! She’s loving the power trip a little too much!

    She refuses to institute a Travel Bubble with Australia when the Aussies have now sorted out their tracing protocols which are now as good as those in NZ. She’s playing silly one-upmanship games with the Australian PM Morrison. They can’t stand each other and it really shows. ……
    But the travel industry in BOTH countries are suffering not that she gives a toss. Bloody socialist bitch.

    just so y’all are up on the new trends

    SuperStraight: The Newest Sexual Category That’s Taking The World By Storm!
    http://acecomments.mu.nu/?post=393108

    When the lesbians state that they don’t date men, the trans “women” call them bigots, haters, and transphobes.

    Some guy on TikTok decided to do something about this.

    What he did was to invent the newest LGBTQ+ identity, called “Super Straight.”

    bwahahahahahahahahahahah

    By the way, you can also be “Super Gay” or “Super Lesbian,” meaning that you are born with an attraction only to members of the opposite biological sex, and not people dressing up in a game of Genital Cosplay.

    @ rain of lead:

    As bad as HR 8 is, HR 1446 is worse. It turns the “Instant Check” system on its head, giving the bureaucrats the ability to prevent anyone from ever being approved for a purchase. First, it increases the maximum response time from 3 calendar days to 10 business days. Then, it changes what happens at the end of that time. Under the current system, if they don’t have an answer in 3 days, the dealer is allowed to proceed with the sale. Under the new system, they get an additional 10 business days (for a total of 20, which actually means a whole month, realistically).

    If they still haven’t decided after that, you can submit a “petition” to have your application reviewed.

    @ eaglesoars:
    Day #2 Race #3 and #4.

    A bit of a one demential course off Takapuna Beach . Great for viewing off the Northern headlands and North Head but the course is in the wind shadow of Mototapu Island. So whoever wins the start dictates the race and the trailing boat can’t easily get past. Starting to Port as the lead boat and you can force the trailing boat into a extra tack and you can dominate them by putting your foul air onto their sals.

    The Italians won the Start off the Port position and dominated. Team got the Port position and controlled the race #4 from start to finish.

    That’s 2 races each in the first to seven.

    They course committee need to go to the further off-shore courses that are not effected by wind shadows off the Gulf Islands.

    This could be a Loooong series.

    Bloody predictive strikes again!

    Grrrr

    Luna Rossa were trailing around buoy 2 and had a wee bit of a mechanical SNAFU when they dropped the foil and it failed to lock down and when they tried to retract the wet foil the bow did a dive. That was all it took as the Kiwis stretched their lead.
