IT’S AN OPEN THREAD, DISCUSS WHAT YINZ WANT.
Last week, week 3: we were 3/5 +$100, so we are at 11/16 $1600/$1000. 60% ROI! I’m beating my real investments. But really, I would never put real money on a bunch of testosterone OD’d young, amateur male athletes. No way, no how.
Every Two years the US takes on Europe in golf. This is played by professionals and the money is on Europe. The US is down 11-8-1 over the past 20 editions. The Ryder Cup is played every two years. The US has been terrible the last few times…a bunch of whiny, selfish, arrogant pricks versus the more unified Europeans. The Ryder Cup format is based on team play and being a productive member of the TEAM. This latest of batch of whiny twits who live and die by social media might not be capable of wining this time either.
Are Americans better golfers than the Euros? You damn straight we are! All one has to do is look at standings and money winnings. This isn’t even a discussion, it’s a Red White and Blue beat down. But the Ryder Cup, the most important tournament in golf in my opinion, is a completely different animal. The golfer has to swallow his pride and do exactly what the team captains expects him to do in order to win. There is no ego here, only patriotism.
The home team crowd, this year it is being held in a phenomenal Pete Dye designed course in Wisconsin called Whistling Straits. Playing a Pete Dye course is like driving a high-end luxury car, every detail is perfect and there are sumptuous surprises to be revealed. the course is set against two miles of Lake Michigan, and it is open to the public to play. It’s pricey, but, how often does one get to play a course that has held the Ryder Cup and PGA Championship? The Straits Course favors the Europeans as it is a links design.
By Sunday the American Fans will be in full voice, the Europeans will complain, and we will see if team captain Steve Stricker can herd these ego-maniacal cats into a cohesive team.
It will be worth the watch even if yinz don’t like golf, trust me on this one.
NOW, On to the football:
#12 Notre Dame at #18 Wisconsin 12:00 PM FOX: Smash-mouth, old school, dairy farm fed, football. ND is getting 6 when I marked this game two days ago. They cover “on the road” this game is being played in Chicago. There will be no Camp Randall noise or home field advantage for W.
#7 Texas A&M versus #16 Arkansas 3:30 PM CBS: This game is being played at a ‘neutral site”, ummmhmmm…Arlington Texas. The Aggies are giving 5. The national press is calling this an upset possibility. the winner of this gets to be Alabama’s main rival in the SEC. Heh, good luck with that! I think that the Razorbacks are playing better ball, better than the 5 point spread? yeah, why not!
Tennessee at #11 Florida 7:00 PM ESPN: It’s gonna be another long year for the Vols. The Gators are giving 18.5 at home. They cover.

DIRE SITUATION: 100% Of Covid Cases Are Vaccinated in NSW Australia
https://twitter.com/kr3at/status/1441420798686683144
A judge in Florida on Wednesday blocked a city’s COVID-19 mandate from taking effect.
Circuit Judge Monica Brasington, a Sen. Rick Scott appointee, granted a request for an emergency injunction. That means the mandate, which was slated to take effect on Oct. 1, is blocked for now.
“The city did not put on any evidence, at all, at the injunction hearing,” Brasington wrote in a 7-page ruling.
“Without any evidence, the court is unable to consider whether the vaccine mandate serves a compelling interest through the least restrictive means, whether the vaccine mandate meets a strict scrutiny test, a rational basis test, or whether it meets any other standard,” she added.
Gainesville’s City Commission on Aug. 5 decided all city employees needed to get vaccinated against the virus that causes COVID-19. A week later, City Manager Lee Feldman ordered employees to get at least one dose by Oct. 1 and be fully vaccinated by Oct. 14.
More than 200 Gainesville employees sued, noting that the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines in stopping transmission of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus has stopped. They also said that the mandate did not make sense because many of them have natural immunity, or protection from having had COVID-19, and because area hospitals were not experiencing a shortage of beds.
In a recent hearing, the employees argued that the mandate violated their right to privacy under the Florida Constitution.

A National Investment Authority
Revitalizing the U.S. economy post-coronavirus creates a crucial opportunity to address climate change through massive rebuilding and “greening” of America’s public infrastructure. Given the long-term structural and distributional implications of climate change, this economy-wide transformation must be implemented in a way that produces tangible public benefits, instead of exacerbating existing socio-economic and racial disparities and further concentrating economic power in private hands. Creation of a National Investment Authority (NIA) is a vital step toward ensuring environmentally sustainable and socially inclusive infrastructural growth and development.
Check out the “key benefits”
Bringing private investment into clean energy and environmentally sustainable public infrastructure is a fundamentally efficient public policy that will amplify the impact of federal funding and reduce public costs.
A hybrid, market-actor NIA will not be directly subject to politically determined federal budget constraints, which will enable it to pursue a bolder and more ambitious agenda.
By offering an attractive new “safe” asset class to institutional investors, the NIA will drain private capital away from speculative assets and high-risk activities, which will enhance financial market stability.
Raising money from pension funds, insurance companies, and other institutional investors will provide the NIA with an important market feedback and signaling mechanism. These dynamics of market competition will serve as an important safeguard against cronyism and excessive political interference in the NIA’s operations.
By providing a ready source of patient capital dedicated to environmental and social justice, the NIA will encourage the emergence of new forms of mutual and employee-owned investment vehicles, thus democratizing ownership of financial assets.
The NIA will use its power as a shareholder and creditor to improve labor conditions and democratize industrial relations within firms.
The NIA will offer many Americans a chance to invest more of their personal savings in clean infrastructure, combining the financial benefit of adding a “safe” asset to their portfolios with the sense of moral satisfaction. This will enhance the public’s understanding of finance as a fundamentally public resource and a legitimate arena of direct public action—a critical step toward a deeper democratization of finance.

Bank accounts. The current rules require banks to report cash transactions–actual paper currency–of more than $10,000, on the theory that only drug dealers and the like would have that much cash on hand.
This new proposal is something entirely different. It would require banks to report the deposits and debits of all accounts with an annual in- or outflow of $600 or more. Basically, every account other than your kid’s piggy bank.
The theory is that it will help them identify tax cheats who claim little income, but have large amounts of money going through their accounts:

Banks think Biden’s plan to track nearly all financial transactions sucks canal water
https://justthenews.com/nation/states/irs-would-track-all-bank-transactions-over-600-under-biden-plan-businesses-revolt
In a sharp pushback against the proposal, more thn 40 trade associations, some of which represent entire industries or economic sectors, signed a letter to U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) raising the alarm about the plan.
The letter, which includes the support of several banking coalitions, calls on Congress to reject that requirement, saying it violates customer privacy and would create an incredibly expensive and elaborate reporting requirement for the banks.
“While the stated goal of this vast data collection is to uncover tax dodging by the wealthy, this proposal is not remotely targeted to that purpose or that population,” the letter said. “In addition to the significant privacy concerns, it would create tremendous liability for all affected parties by requiring the collection of financial information for nearly every American without proper explanation of how the IRS will store, protect, and use this enormous trove of personal financial information. We believe that this program is costly for all parties, not fit for purpose, and loaded with potential for unintended [oh, they’re intended alright] and serious negative consequences.”

Marine officer who blasted leaders over Afghanistan withdrawal now in the brig
“All our son did is ask the questions that everybody was asking themselves, but they were too scared to speak out loud.”
BY JEFF SCHOGOL | UPDATED SEP 27, 2021 6:10 PM
NEWS MARINE CORPS
Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller, the Marine officer whose meteoric rise to internet fandom began with a video criticizing military leadership over Afghanistan, is currently in the brig, his father told Task & Purpose.
“All our son did is ask the questions that everybody was asking themselves, but they were too scared to speak out loud,” said Stu Scheller Sr. “He was asking for accountability. In fact, I think he even asked for an apology that we made mistakes, but they couldn’t do that, which is mind-blowing.”
He said that his son is expected to appear before a military hearing on Thursday.
“They had a gag order on him and asked him not to speak,” the senior Scheller said. “He did, and they incarcerated him. They don’t know what to do with him.”
After this story was first published, the Marine Corps issued a statement confirming that Scheller has been sent to the brig.
“Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller Jr. is currently in pre-trial confinement in the Regional Brig for Marine Corps Installations East aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune pending an Article 32 preliminary hearing,” said Capt. Sam Stephenson, a spokesman for Training and Education Command. “The time, date, and location of the proceedings have not been determined. Lt. Col. Scheller will be afforded all due process.”

Boy, the “expert” they pulled to provide commentary was a piece of work.
“But Dr. Teagan Westendorf fears what she describes as “militarized policing” could work to galvanize the protestors, who she said, already feel they are experiencing a police state”
Gee, being restricted to no more than 3 miles from home, being pepper sprayed if you don’t wear a mask, being treated worse than a felon if you step out of line and question the lockdowns. I can’t imagine why anyone would think that is evidence of being in a police state.

This is a chart of urea prices for the past year, from $256/ton to $445/ton. Urea is the main component in DEF, which all new diesel engines need for their emissions systems. This is another reason why transport costs are climbing, & it’s related to the natgas prices.
.
.
Not only is DEF [diesel exhaust fluid] expensive, but the DEF sensors in these trucks — the ones that warn when DEF is low and actually slow the engine down unless it’s refilled — are out of stock thanks to supply chain issues, & this is keeping trucks parked.
The crazy thing is that both of the above DEF-related problems could be fixed with some legislation & software updates. DEF is an environmental boondoggle that makes diesel engines less efficient & more failure-prone in the name of cutting emissions.

I should also say a major component of urea is nitrogen, so it’s a big part of fertilizer. So food prices will get hit on the production cycle and the transport cycle.

We thought we had seen the greatest possible depths of presidential pettiness. But Biden has outdone everyone, including his famously thin-skinned predecessor. Just last week, Biden’s administration abruptly and without warning decided to withhold desperately needed treatments for COVID-19 from the states where they are most in demand. Not coincidentally, most of them are states governed by Republicans.
.
.
Biden’s cruelty in arbitrarily depriving people of a cure to a disease that will hospitalize or kill them is outrageous even in the lamentable catalog of his odious decisions. It is worse than anything his predecessor did, including the acts for which he was twice impeached. It is a deadly abuse of power by a president unfit to govern the country.

U.S. bars flight from landing with Americans from Kabul – activists
The Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday denied U.S. landing rights for a charter plane carrying more than 100 Americans and U.S. green card holders evacuated from Afghanistan, organizers of the flight said.
“They will not allow a charter on an international flight into a U.S. port of entry,” Bryan Stern, a founder of non-profit group Project Dynamo, said of the department’s Customs and Border Protection agency.
Stern spoke to Reuters from aboard a plane his group chartered from Kam Air, a private Afghan airline, that he said had been sitting for 14 hours at Abu Dhabi airport after arriving from Kabul with 117 people, including 59 children.
His group is one of several that emerged from ad hoc networks of U.S. military veterans, current and former U.S. officials and others that formed to bolster last month’s U.S. evacuation operation they saw as chaotic and badly organized.
DHS did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
An administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said they were unfamiliar with the matter, but that the U.S. government typically takes time to verify the manifests of charter planes before clearing them to land in the United States.

https://www.darpa.mil/program/living-foundries
Current and emerging Department of Defense (DoD) capabilities rely upon access to a number of critical, high-value molecules that are often prohibitively expensive, unable to be domestically sourced, and/or impossible to manufacture using traditional synthetic approaches. DARPA’s Living Foundries program aims to enable adaptable, scalable, and on-demand production of such molecules by programming the fundamental metabolic processes of biological systems to generate a vast number of complex molecules that are not otherwise accessible. Through Living Foundries, DARPA is transforming synthetic biomanufacturing into a predictable engineering practice supportive of a broad range of national security objectives.
The program includes two components: 1) Living Foundries: Advanced Tools and Capabilities for Generalizable Platforms (ATCG), and 2) Living Foundries: 1000 Molecules. The first component, Living Foundries: ATCG, completed successfully. It focused on the development of next-generation tools and technologies for engineering biological systems with the goal of compressing the biological design-build-test-learn cycle by at least ten times in both time and cost, while increasing the complexity of systems that are created. Technical areas of interest included design and automation tools, modular genetic parts and devices, standardized test platforms and chassis, tools for rapid physical construction of biological systems, editing and manipulation of genetic designs, and new characterization and debugging tools for synthetic biological networks.
The ongoing Living Foundries: 1000 Molecules component seeks to further refine this initial capability to significantly decrease the cost, improve the scalability, and expand the complexity of engineered systems for biomanufacturing. Efforts are focused on using automation, novel genome editing tools, and machine learning technologies to alleviate the challenges of prototyping. As a proof of concept, DARPA aims to produce 1,000 molecules and material precursors spanning a wide range of defense-relevant applications including industrial chemicals, pharmaceuticals, coatings, and adhesives that can be customized to continuously evolving DoD needs while ensuring continued leadership of the United States in the rapidly evolving field of synthetic biology.

These are two very powerful constituencies, and the long-converging combination of neoconservative money with popular anti-Trump sentiment on the center-left and center-right could prove formidable in the future. This could be worth keeping in mind, given that the general’s activity—courting powerful factions of the race-obsessed left, appending himself to key politicians of both parties, chasing media attention left and right—suggests he does not intend to pursue the quiet life of military-industrial complex sinecures automatically reserved for retiring four-stars.
At 63, Milley’s days in uniform are numbered—but 2024 is just around the corner.

Biden has vaporized our southern border. He extends nearly every benefit of citizenship to those who break-and-enter into our home.

Workers Who Maintain Supply Chains Warn of Worldwide ‘System Collapse’

keep in mind that a lot of our meds are made in China. This could be a death sentence for many.
So read this and if you didn’t know before, understand now that Powell is a bloody moron
The International Chamber of Shipping, a coalition of truck drivers, seafarers, and airline workers, has warned in a letter to heads of state attending the United Nations General Assembly that governments need to restore freedom of movement to transportation workers amid persistent COVID-19 restrictions and quarantines.
If nothing is done, they warned of a “global transport system collapse” and suggested that “global supply chains are beginning to buckle as two years’ worth of strain on transport workers take their toll,” according to the letter. It was signed by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the International Road Transport Union (IRU), and the International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF), which represent some 65 million transport workers around the world.
“All transport sectors are also seeing a shortage of workers, and expect more to leave as a result of the poor treatment millions have faced during the pandemic, putting the supply chain under greater threat,” the letter said. “We also ask that WHO and the ILO raise this at the U.N. General Assembly and call on heads of government to take meaningful and swift action to resolve this crisis now,” they wrote.
Meanwhile, retailer Costco said it’s chartering its own container ships between Asia and North America amid supply chain issues worldwide, Chief Financial Officer Richard Galanti said in a recent conference call.
Costco, he said, is dealing with “port delays, container shortages, COVID disruptions, shortages on various components, raw materials and ingredients, labor cost pressures” along with “trucks and driver shortages,” Fox News reported.
Gene Seroka, executive director of the Port of Los Angeles, attempted to shed some light on the problem during a recent ABC News interview, noting that there’s a significant backup of container ships off the coast of major ports of entry.
“We’re witnessing a pandemic-induced buying surge by the American consumer, the likes of which we’ve never seen,” he told the network on Sept. 29.
In remarks on Sept. 29, Powell said that the current spike in inflation is a “consequence of supply constraints meeting very strong demand,” saying it’s “associated with the reopening of the economy, which is a process that will have a beginning, middle and an end.”
“It’s very difficult to say how big the effects will be in the meantime or how long they last,” Powell said during a forum hosted by the European Central Bank. The current price surge, he said, is due to bottlenecks in the supply chain, although he believes prices will eventually come down on their own. The surge will continue into 2022 before dropping, Powell said.
The Federal Reserve doesn’t anticipate the current trend to “lead to a new inflation regime, in which inflation remains high year after year,” Powell said.
“Managing through that process over the next couple of years is … going to be very challenging because we have this hypothesis that inflation is going to be transitory. We think that’s right,” Powell said. “But we are concerned about underlying inflation expectations remaining stable, as they have so far.”>/i>

The grand jury subpoenas for documents were issued earlier this month, according to CNN, after Durham charged Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann for knowingly making a false statement to the FBI.
Investigators from the special counsel’s office are seeking additional documents from Sussmann’s former law firm, Perkins Coie, an indication that Durham may be looking to add to Sussmann’s charges or to bring cases against other defendants.

Excuse me, does this make sense to anyone?
Though studies have shown the various COVID-19 vaccines appear to be successful at reducing infection, severe disease, hospitalization, and death from the virus, the study suggests that a fully vaccinated person with a breakthrough case of COVID-19 who has no symptoms is just as capable of spreading the virus to other people as an unvaccinated person who is sick but has no symptoms.
If there are no symptoms how is it a ‘breakthrough’ case? And if there are no symptoms, how are you sick?

US Warns Mexico Of Massive, Ongoing Sewage Spill Into Rio Grande: ‘150 Million Gallons Since August’
A major pipe rupture on the American side of the US-Mexico border is sending millions of gallons per day of raw sewage into the Rio Grande, International Boundary & Water Commission (IBWC) is warning this week.
The agency formally notified Mexico authorities late this week, saying in a statement to the monitoring organization Border Report that “The water that is going into the Rio Grande is downstream of the location where Mexico gets the water under the (U.S.-Mexico) treaty. But, yes, sewage flows into the Rio Grande are entering the international reach of the river.”
“The pipe is so badly corroded that we can’t fix it. When we go to fix it, we cause more damage than exists at present. So, we’re concentrating on replacement,” he added.
The city said this week it’s only completed up to 60% of pipe replacement, so millions of gallons of sewage are expected to continue flowing into the Rio Grande. Meanwhile on the US side of the border there’s concern that the polluted water may negatively impact vegetation, wetlands, and irrigation. It’s just one more border disaster among many currently creating tensions for political leaders on each side of the border, also amid the recent Haitian immigrant camp crisis. US Border Patrol is also said to be monitoring the sewage leak situation in coordination with the IBWC.

After answering a few questions, Brady was finally asked about the condition of his throat.
“I don’t know. I’ve had a few of these days. I don’t know what the deal is, so I gotta try to figure this out,” Brady said. “I said my throat’s more tired than arm. Imagine that.”
Brady was reminded by a reporter that he had a similar hoarseness to his voice in the summer.
“Same thing — I know,” Brady said. “It came back. I know. Very strange. Something must be a little — I can’t explain that, so.”

Give your children to the state or we will euthanize them.
Mom compares unmasked children to “deadly biological weapons, loaded firearms, and homicide”
This is the result of the intentional fear mongering and watching too much CNN

New Forced Control: NYU Langone and other Hospitals in New York and Long Island are Forcing that if the Parent is not VAXXED they will not release Babies From NICU to Parents or after birth as per CDC Guidelines. You Need to Show VAX-Passport to see your own New Born Baby.

I should also note that when responses asked for a link to verify, Dr. Niaz said HE is the link, as he spent all night arguing w/NICU about this.
I had a long very physical day and I’m wiped. nite.
we’ll see
I called the NICU there and it is not true they will not release babies without a vaccine passport by the parents. They said that in order to visit in the NICU parents must either 1). Have a vaccine passport or 2). Have a negative pcr test in the last 72 hours. Reasonable.
