Veterans Day, Remembrance Day & Armistice Day

14 November 1918
For the first time away from the front since July 5th.
In a camp, behind the lines.

Dear Mom and Dad:

Well, of all the wonderful things that could ever happen. The war is “won”. As the French say, “Fini la Guerre.” Every Frenchman we meet hollers, “Fini la Guere, Merci! Beaucoup.” It means– The war is over, thank you many times. We are sure some glad bunch. I sure will have a lot of stuff to tell you when I return. And that won’t be long. We are now way from the front for the first time. I just got rid of a bunch of cooties yesterday. I hope that they will be the last, too. The are sure the cause of one hell of a feeling.

[Letter home from 19 year old Private Walter, my granduncle. He was in the U.S. Signal Corps, stationed at the front in France. More here.]

    Bannon is interviewing Patrick K O’Donnell who wrote the book “The Unknowns: The Untold Story of America’s Unknown Soldier and WWI’s Most Decorated Heroes Who Brought Him Home”

    https://www.amazon.com/The-Unknowns-Patrick-K-O-Donnell-audiobook/dp/B07CQ99726/ref=sr_1_1

    A woman named Delaney owned a magazine of the same name and she spent time in Europe and saw THEY had a Tomb of the Unknown and suggested we do the same. The military poo-bahs said nonsense, we’ll be able to identify all our dead. Well, WW I was a new kind of war with major explosives, gas, etc. And guess what – they couldn’t. So they took all the unknowns from the battlefield, removed anything like letters, jewelry, etc and put them in caskets. I think there were about 4000. One of the poo-bahs was going to choose one and the French said, uh, maybe not. You should have an ordinary soldier who fought do that. They found one Edward Younger who had been in ALL the major battles, wounded in one, took him to the warehouse, and handed him a bouquet of white roses. Place it on the casket you choose. Younger took notes that O’Donnell found. He said the roses led him to one casket and he had the feeling it was someone he had fought with.

    And that’s the story.

    In our THIS IS FINE file today we have

    The CPI chart on the home page reflects our estimate of inflation for today as if it were calculated the same way it was in 1990. The CPI on the Alternate Data Series tab here reflects the CPI as if it were calculated using the methodologies in place in 1980. In general terms, methodological shifts in government reporting have depressed reported inflation, moving the concept of the CPI away from being a measure of the cost of living needed to maintain a constant standard of living.

    From FB yesterday:

    Friendly PSA for tomorrow. If you squawk about how much you “appreciate our veterans” and offer the obligatory but insincere “thank you for your service”, while supporting mandatory coof jabs for the military, you can take your platitudes and bromides and shove them right up your ass. You are hypocrites and assholes and I, for one, don’t want your fake thanks and “appreciation”. Natashka Nevskaya

    @ AZfederalist:

    Did anyone else hear Biden’s lecture yesterday on what the supply chain is and how the problems are “not his fault”? My folks have Fox News on 24/7 at high dB because they can’t hear well and I caught a few sentences from the Dementia Patient in Chief. Total fluff and nonsense. No, he can’t solve all of the supply chain problems, but the administration can sure clear some bottlenecks, many of their own making. First, remove the insane restriction in California prohibiting trucks over 11 years old from being able to move in that state — that’s not their call, they are interfering with interstate commerce. Second, restore all of the energy things that they destroyed in January – Keystone, Federal exploration — this helps supply chain problems by lowering dependence on foreign oil and lowering energy prices. Third, recognize that Covid is with us now and forevermore because of the Wuhan lab leak, stop the nonsense with the vaccine mandates. If people want to get vaccinated, fine, but stop the mandates that make no sense.

    Of course, this assumes that they actually want to see the supply chain, energy, and worker shortage problems solved. From what I can see, they want more of the problems, not less. They will pay lip service to solving the problems while making them worse and creating more. Just like Sibelius the other day when she threw back her head and laughed. What she really wanted to say in answer to that question was, “Why would we want to solve the problem of high energy prices? We want them that way and want them even higher and in lower supply and are working to accomplish that a we speak”. Her “magic wand” comment was the only thing she could really say out loud.

    The comments on that tweet are hilarious. Except for the few crazy left wingers who are trying to defend this and attack conservatives. One of my favorites, “Riots are like porn to conservatives. They can’t define one but they know one when they see it.” Sadly, people like that live close to you, drive next to you, and vote.

    ‘Revolution in warfare’: Israel has new ‘invisible’ defense system

    Israel has a new weapon in its defense arsenal — and enemies of the Jewish State will never see it coming.

    The weapon, which reportedly can halt electronic capabilities of an enemy, is part of a new suite of electromagnetic warfare called Scorpius.

    The Scorpius “missiles” send narrowly targeted beams of energy that disrupt enemy electronic sensors, navigation, radar or other electronic activity, according to Gideon Fustick the Marketing VP of Israel Aerospace Industries, Israel’s state-run defense contractor.

    Fustick told Forbes the electronic weapons fall under a category Israel calls “soft protection.”

    But he said the new Scorpius weapons have an advantage over older forms of electromagnetic warfare because they can send targeted beams without interfering with unintended targets. He described Israel’s new weapon as a “revolution in warfare.”

    Ok, now we know why the FBI raided Project Veritas. Because PV has a lawsuit against the NYT (defamation I think) and the NYT needed to know what PV had on them.

    Because the NYT is now leaking what the FBI got, and they only source they could have is the FBI.

    “internal documents obtained by the New York Times reveal the extent to which the group has worked with its lawyers to gauge how far its deceptive reporting practices can go before running afoul of federal laws”

    Well that certainly feels like it!

    The so called official rate just ditches anything that it feels doesn’t fit with their particular basket of goods and services, at that time. Such a subjective measure is not worth the paper it’s written on. Inflation is a measure that is historically based, that reflect standardized measures that are objectively based. Getting rid of an included metric has to be reflected historically all the way back to the base year so that current measures retain their historically based foundations.

    Todays so called inflation measures …. ‘ain’t it’!

    The Rittenhouse prosecution steps in it AGAIN

    There’s a 3 way discussion about whether Rittenhouse is guilty under a weapons possession law that makes exceptions under some circumstances. Everyone agrees that the law is ambiguous. The judge said he’s spent hours on it and still can’t come to understand it, so how would an ordinary civilian. The prosecution sez if you accept the defense reading of the law, then the law makes no sense. The judge sez, well, if the law makes no sense, the state can’t enforce so YOU’RE SOL.

    Large-scale COVID-19 vaccinations are currently underway in many countries in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Here, we report, besides generation of neutralizing antibodies, consistent alterations in hemoglobin A1c, serum sodium and potassium levels, coagulation profiles, and renal functions in healthy volunteers after vaccination with an inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. Similar changes had also been reported in COVID-19 patients, suggesting that vaccination mimicked an infection. Single-cell mRNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) before and 28 days after the first inoculation also revealed consistent alterations in gene expression of many different immune cell types. Reduction of CD8+ T cells and increase in classic monocyte contents were exemplary. Moreover, scRNA-seq revealed increased NF-κB signaling and reduced type I interferon responses, which were confirmed by biological assays and also had been reported to occur after SARS-CoV-2 infection with aggravating symptoms. Altogether, our study recommends additional caution when vaccinating people with pre-existing clinical conditions, including diabetes, electrolyte imbalances, renal dysfunction, and coagulation disorders.

    And that’s just the abstract. REad the rest

    Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee signs sweeping COVID-19 legislation into law

    The new law restricts private businesses from requiring COVID-19 vaccination proof and only allows schools and other public entities to enact mask mandates under an extreme surge of 1,000 infections or more for every 100,000 residents in a 14-day period.
    .
    .
    The governor said a “correction” is needed to legislation requiring hospitals to allow indefinite family visitation for COVID-19 patients. Tennessee hospitals last week expressed concern at the requirement, which could conflict with infection mitigation efforts. Lee said the intent was for it to apply to end-of-life patients.

    Fully vaccinated Britons were “responsible” for 81.83% of all Covid cases. Again, vaccines are now “worse than ineffective” and invite disease. The “negative effectiveness”, shown in red, means that the vaccinated are more likely to catch Covid than the unvaccinated.

    Until about 24 hours ago, yes. Things started going downhill about this time yesterday, as I was getting to the place where I was supposed to spend my last night. Google Maps tried to kill me again. It wanted me to drive into a lake this time.

    Fortunately, I can recognize a large body of water without a GPS, so I survived. But it sent me to the wrong exit from the Interstate again. 4 miles from where I was supposed to be. By the time I figured it out, it was dark, and I ended up going to the wrong side of the lake (there are multiple campgrounds within the park). I finally got to my spot and set up around 8:00, instead of the 5:00 I’d planned on.

    In one of his first acts as the head of the Oklahoma National Guard, new Adjutant General Thomas Mancino updated the guard’s COVID-19 vaccine policy.

    In a memo issued Thursday, Mancino ordered that no members of the Oklahoma National Guard be required to take a COVID-19 vaccine.

    The memo obtained by The Oklahoman also notes “no negative administrative or legal action will be taken” against guard members who refuse the COVID-19 vaccine.

    The memo came just one day after Gov. Kevin Stitt appointed Mancino to replace former Adjutant General Michael Thompson, who had served in that role since 2017.

    Los Angeles

    The latest example is its new “BIG:LEAP” basic income program, designed to “transform the role of local government.”

    While defunding the police and giving free money to people are considered fringe ideas in most places, in Los Angeles it is becoming a reality.

    Last week it began accepting applications for what amounts to a lottery for 3,000 lucky winners. The prize is $12,000 per year, at a total taxpayer cost of $36 million.

    This is far more than the $2,000 per year Andrew Yang, who introduced the concept to Americans in his presidential race, recently proposed to New Yorkers in his mayoral race. New Yorkers rejected it, giving him just 12 percent of the vote.

    About a third of the money comes from defunding the Los Angeles Police Department,

    More on the 5th circuit ruling

    The three-judge panel in New Orleans ruled that Biden’s mandate “grossly exceeds OSHA’s statutory authority,” writing that “rather than a delicately handled scalpel, the Mandate is a one-size fits-all sledgehammer that makes hardly any attempt to account for differences in workplaces (and workers) that have more than a little bearing on workers’ varying degrees of susceptibility to the supposedly ‘grave danger’ the Mandate purports to address.”

    https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-federal-appeals-court-blocks-bidens-staggeringly-overboard-vaccine-mandate

    I believe the Daily Wire is one of the plaintiffs

    But the Roberts’ SCOTUS will rule that OSHA’s mandate includes ‘work place safety’ and will let it stand.

    Somebody go find a patent lawyer. This just popped up and it’s probably BS but maybe not

    Bill Gates owns a patent 22-060606, Cryptocurrency System Using Body Activity Data . Not only is it about putting a vaccine in your body based on RNA manipulation of your DNA, but it would a sensor, a user device, a communication network, and a cryptocurrency system. Humans taking this vaccine can be scanned remotely, just like an orange is scanned at the market

    Boring medical post….

    Is Your Medication Making You Sweat? 10 Drugs That Cause Excessive Sweating as a Side Effect

    AC set to 72F and soaked in sweat. Obviously that is not normal. Or is it? Taking Ibuprofen for joint pain has unexpected consequences it appears.

    https://www.goodrx.com/blog/medications-cause-excessive-sweating-side-effect/

    Over-the-counter pain medications
    Taking Aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen (Motrin) may lead to excessive sweating.

    Why? These medications work to lower fever by causing blood vessels to dilate so heat is lost through the skin, and this same mechanism may lead to sweating.

    Well I learned a valuable lesson today. Munching down three 200mg Ibuprofen tablets before work so as to prevent/avoid joint pain in preparation for a 7 1/2 shift was not a good idea. Broke out in an unexplainable sweat. Was soaked.

    Thought I was sick and got sent home.

    Lesson learned.
