We're not easily offended and don't want people to think they have to walk on eggshells around here (like at another place that shall remain nameless) but of course, there is a limit to everything.
Play nice!
morning! Fox Business just ran a piece on why companies aren’t insisting the Masters be moved out of Georgia due to the ‘Jim Crow’ voting laws. Because CBS makes big bucks off of it and they don’t want to piss off CBS. Look what they’re doing to DeSantis.
There’s a volcano erupting on St Vincents island (Caribbean). They are evacuating but only those who have the vax.

Oh good God.
@ right_wing2:
I saw my first real life example of this nonsense a couple of weeks ago, in a memo from the General Counsel of the state Corrections Department. The person it came from included her “pronouns” as part of the signature block.
Sorry, but I refuse to play. At some point, I’ll probably get fired, but I was planning to retire next year, anyway.

There was some dystopian story written years ago about how the sane standing up to the insane were persecuted. Not remembering the title or much of the plot, just that bit of information.
@ eaglesoars:
… and there is this from MSN:
So the island is being threatened by a huge volcanic eruption, and this idiot appeals for vigilance against a disease with a 98+% survival rate and a relatively low infection rate.
/The insanity is astounding. I want out of the Twilight Zone into which we’ve been plunged
@ lobo91:
Just start randomly throwing letters together as your preferred pronoun, and get offended when somebody can correctly pronounce it.
You can use words from Welsh for examples.
The phrase “when in the course of human events”
@ right_wing2:
Translates to “ pan yn ystod digwyddiadau dynol‘ in Welsh.
@ lobo91:
I think the pronoun thing is, at it’s foundation, a particularly insidious way to indoctrinate children.
Pronouns are one of the first bits of language children learn both at home, then at school.
A lot of things that seem off-the-wall or insane are in fact being driven by the Frankfurt school disciples at the top of the Progressive hierarchy.
There is a method to the madness.
@ Deplorable Bumr50:
This is the culmination of a 100+ year plan
Just passing through. The human body is a strange and complicated thing.
A bit of background. I currently do not have a job and so days and nights are kind of interchangeable. If I do not deliberately try to regulate my awake time and my sleep time I tend to drift into a pattern of waking at 3pm or later and then going to bed at 4-5am. It varies.
Well, at 4am it is quite cool here still and so bed time means curl up under blankets. By wake up time at 3pm it is hot and I am sweating profusely!
Another part of the background is I drink more than I should. Those five liter boxes of red wine are evil. It is easy to just keep having a nice glass of wine, and then another, and another…
An easy way of consuming a lot of calories per day ( and I use the word “day” to describe awake time ) and then there are meal times.
Meal times consist of some type of meat or fish, veggies, cheese, eggs etc. Not bulky mash and stuffing or pasta because I am full of wine and just need tasty snacks. Not really hungry as my main source of “food” was wine.
Then I quit drinking….
Now, where am I going with this you may ask. Go on, ask!
Biden and crew are weak.
The Mexican Cartels swarm the border.
Some group convinces Turkey to Annex kurds and jack up Nato.
Iran gives Israel some marshmallows of peace.
Russia rolls Ukraine
China rolls Taiwan and puts money into US Senators.
Biden promotes woke generals to fight the pronouns being used by his troops.
IF they all do it at the same time Biden has squat. If they do it when Chauvin is acquitted double plus. CNN would support this.

Where? Sounds like my diet. 🙂

The where is if you stick to your “diet” and then stop drinking alcohol but continue to eat what you do a strange thing happens.

I call dibs on SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED
This is a slow place. The end of the story is once I subtracted wine from my daily intake I unexpectedly became ketogenic.
So, sticking with what I was eating and I think I am losing weight even though I smell like an over ripe banana.
Only a week has gone by but my man tits have shrunk.

The primary source of income for those islands is tourism, and if there’s a ‘vid outbreak they eat it.

@ Bunk X:
I have a blogger friend, Queen Hephzibah, who lives in Barbados. Some time ago she was talking about the virus, how the island had almost escaped an outbreak. She wrote:
Oh and one more thing. If you thin you have “sponsors” to talk to when you are trying to quit drinking and smoking then think again.
They cannot be relied on. You are alone.
@ Possum:
If I’d had a “sponsor” when I was thinking about quitting, we’d have become drinking buddies.
Bunk X wrote:
If you were my sponsor we would fight about whos turn it was to buy the next drink….
Great way to quit. LOL
Also on quitting smoing. I got one of those electric vape things. Cost me $11. All they had was watermelon. It is nasty!
After three days I quit.
Watermelon that is.
@ Possum:
I tried those “VELO” things because I had some coupons. They work as long as you don’t mind having a wad of wet newspaper in your mouth all the time.
From the Should I Stay Or Should I Go Department:
Assholes from L.A. County have pulled the KKK flyer stunt before, but now they’ve given BLM an excuse, and there’s a Starbucks right next to the pier for Antifa to torch.
There’s a live pier webcam here, at the PCH & Main Street intersection where the fun (if any) will start.

BULLSHIT.
This is absurd. From the link above:
Check out the “report” statistics. The “hate crimes” include online harrassment.

Here’s an example:
@ Bunk X:
I use On! pouches. They are much smaller and feel like snus. I didn’t like the Velo pouches at all due to the feeling you described, along with the size.
I use Zyn in a pinch, but they’re still bigger than the On!.
@ Bunk X:
Anyone who can’t tell the difference between criticism of a foreign government and “harassment” of Americans who happen to share the same ancestry shouldn’t be in college in the first place.
How come nobody complains when Democrats make all sorts of absurd claims about the Russian government?
Hmm…could it be because the people who live there are white? That’s the only difference I can think of.

Fog is lifting at the HB pier. A few people are walking their kikmi dogs.
@ Bunk X:
Some, but not all. And the ones who have typically ruled the country mostly come from the European side.

Starting to set up barricades at the HB pier.

why? And what is the HB pier?

Huntington Beach Pier. Flyers were dropped around town advertising a “white lives matter rally” with a lot of racist crap in it. Apparently something is scheduled for other cities today also.
@ Bunk X:
Oh right, I did see that. Thanks.
@ eaglesoars:
I see one chunky white guy holding a yellow sign on a staff with black letters. Can’t make out what it says.
@ eaglesoars:
There’s about 30 BLM with about as many onlookers now. A lot of onlookers, too.

It’s lunchtime. One of the megaphone people said to be back at 3PM.
One of the nice ladies who lectured to the traffic in the intersection said, “We’re here to fight hate with love,” and then “Cops are racists.”

Gonsalves sounds like he’s one loaf short of a dozen. Just the kind of guy you want and need during an emergency.
By the time he manages to frame his argument the volcano will be quiet again. Leaders like this kill people through their incompetence.
Who’d want to be evacuated on those floating ‘petri dishes’ anyway?

AND….
Here we go. Brooklyn Center outskirts of Minneapolis.
20yo unarmed man shot and killed by police.
Happened 1:40pm central

It’s pronounced “lah-tinks.”
Looks like invisible neonazis have been purged from Huntington Beach.
Best part I saw on the live stream was of a guy with a megaphone spouting off about racial inequities and being interrupted by five little old ladies marching in front of the camera in single file. They chanted, “Hey hey! Ho Ho! Nazi scum has got to go!” a few times but then forgot the words.

Funny comment on the Steve Bannon podcast WarRoom. Would you trust Joe Biden to walk 10 blocks with your grocery shopping list and return with the groceries?
Biden sounds really bad on his appearances. The Emperor is wearing no clothes.
I’m surprised no one has created a zoom call showing a Trump press conference versus a Biden press conference. Biden is definitely a national security risk. And the absence of the VP suggests to me Obama is running this white house via proxy.
I guess I am a national populist now. lol. Part of the GoP freedom caucus and not part of the GoP failure caucus.

Regarding the Michael Chauvin case, Judge told the jury that he’ll postpone defense and prosecution final arguments until Monday so it doesn’t ruin their weekend. Jurors will be sequestered.
@ Bunk X:
Fortunately, they’ll be replacing their cops with unarmed park rangers soon, so it won’t be an issue in the future.

From Chapter 23 in the Screwtape letters:
C.S. Lewis saw coming that which we are dealing with now.

@ Bunk X:
Cool. I was just wondering the other day how he was doing. I seem to remember Jacobin history?

RODAN!! What happy news!
This is intriguing.
Did catching Covid-19 help these patients fight cancer? One saw his tumours vanish, another went into remission. Now doctors are asking if their immune response was key – and if it could also be triggered by the vaccine

@ lobo91:
I vote no on the guy. He likes to kill the fringe citizens.
eaglesoars wrote:
That’s an interesting question. Alinsky certainly took Screwtape’s side of things.
@ AZfederalist:
That was in answer to the question if Alinsky read the book. He definitely dedicated his book to Lucifer
@ AZfederalist:
I understood.
I haven’t had a chance to start the book yet, been too busy w/house stuff. The photographer took the pics for the listing today and the work required to get ready for that has been exhausting. The house hasn’t looked this good since the day we moved in. The amount of stuff you can accumulate in over twenty six years is astonishing. The junk haulers come Thursday. Little do they know. Besides everything else, I estimate they’ll be hauling about six hundred books. Thank god for e readers.
Off to read. nite.
