It National Championship day and Puti’s 13th birthday! Yep…teenager now.
Alabama is a 2.5 point dog. Georgia is the favorite according to the money. This is going to be a terrific game even if you are not a college football fan. Nick Saban is excellent against the spread when ‘Bama is the underdog and he is 25-1 against coaches who were his former assistants, and there are a lot of them! Saban’s first job was at his alma mater, Kent State.
I can’t bet against Saban, that is a good way to get burned. ‘Bama covers. The bet is $200.

University of Memphis Cancels Plan to Pay Professors to Go Woke, Governor Says
“We welcome robust debate on college campuses, but taxpayer dollars should never be used to fuel a divisive, radical agenda.”

During his term as governor, Lee has flexed his political muscle to reshape Tennessee’s education system. He pushed for legislation in Tennessee that made the state the first to ban the Chinese government-funded Confucius Institute from public universities, and he signed legislation that banned teaching critical race theory in classrooms.

McCabe asserted that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and FBI need to stop merely focusing on the “fringes of the right-wing movement,” in order to “catch this threat” of the “right.”
“Are you going to catch this threat if your focus is only on the traditional, right-wing extremist, those groups that we know about, the quote-unquote, fringes of the right-wing movement?” asked McCabe. “And I think the answer to that is no.”
“It’s entirely possible that when the intelligence community and the law enforcement community looks out across this mainstream,” McCabe continued, “they didn’t assume [on January 6] that that group of people — business owners, white people from the suburbs, educated, employed — presented a threat of violence, and now we know very clearly that they do.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department is establishing a specialized unit focused on domestic terrorism, the department’s top national security official told lawmakers Tuesday as he described an “elevated” threat from violent extremists in the United States.
Assistant Attorney General Matthew Olsen, testifying just days after the nation observed the one-year anniversary of the violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, said the number of FBI investigations into suspected domestic violent extremists has more than doubled since the spring of 2020.
“We have seen a growing threat from those who are motivated by racial animus, as well as those who ascribe to extremist anti-government and anti-authority ideologies,” Olsen said.
The department’s National Security Division has a counterterrorism section. But Olsen told the Senate that he has decided to create a specialized domestic terrorism unit “to augment our existing approach.”

All I know about the Taylor Rule is that it’s a model of some sort that shows what the Fed SHOULD charge for interest but I don’t know how it actually works. But the real lead here, I think, is the hourly earnings number.
So, basically, carnage.

the taylor rule assumes that the fed is doing its job and crushing inflation (but balancing it with its other job, full employment)
“The Taylor Rule suggests that the Federal Reserve should raise rates when inflation is above target or when gross domestic product (GDP) growth is too high and above potential. It also suggests that the Fed should lower rates when inflation is below the target level or when GDP growth is too slow and below potential.”

Coal stockpiles, which in October stood at 86 million tons, are down 35% from a year ago, when 133 million tons were available going into winter, according to the Energy Information Administration. Current inventories are 18% below the lowest level in the past five years, and are projected to get as low as 61 million tons a year from now, and not recover in 2022.
Coal producers including Pennsylvania’s Consol Energy Inc., whose share prices have soared this year, telegraphed the growing demand months ago to investors.
“Inventories are, I would say, near critical levels for many of the domestic utilities that we do serve,” Robert Braithwaite, vice president of marketing for Consol, told analysts in a conference call in August. “When I say critical levels, I’m saying sub-10 days of inventory on the ground.”

Congestion at LA/LB continues to worsen, causing port omissions and limiting available capacity as 120+ vessels wait for their chance to berth before continuing to other destination ports or returning to origin for subsequent sailings.
The congestion at LA/LB is so severe that ocean carriers are limiting bookings for local deliveries, preferring IPI cargo through the PSW gateway. Shippers with urgent cargo, or those working to replenish depleted inventories, are willing to pay premium rates for scarce space.
Rates: Rate levels remain elevated, and the premium market is strong for pre-CNY sailings, driving up premium rates. Some carriers are expected to increase rates for the second half of January, while others are extending until post-CNY.
Space: Critical
Capacity: Critical/severe under-capacity
Recommendation: Book at least 4 weeks prior to CRD. Consider premium options and carrier IPIs through the PSW gateway. Be flexible in regard to equipment and routings.

Arizona Gubernatorial Candidate Kari Lake Offers Groundbreaking Solution to Fix Border: Go Around Feds with an Interstate Compact
Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake unveiled a border security plan aimed at circumventing the federal government through the creation of an interstate compact.
Titled “Defend Arizona: We will do what Washington will not,” her plan will bring states together to use Article I, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution to “declare their territories as under invasion and declare it their sovereign right to secure the borders of the United States.” Lake told The Arizona Sun Times, “The people of Arizona and the people of this country are dying to have real solutions to bring sanity and the security back to the border.”
A record number of migrants – up 2,405% – are currently crossing Arizona’s border with Mexico in the Yuma sector, and a higher than normal percentage of them have criminal backgrounds. Gov. Doug Ducey sent troops and officers to the border in 2021, and earlier this month, Yuma Mayor Douglass Nichols declared an emergency there.

Family of schoolgirl raped in girls’ bathroom begged judge to SPARE Loudoun County ‘boy in a skirt’, 15, from jail to ‘give him a fighting chance at becoming a better person’: Judge grants probation despite blasting his ‘scary’ psych report
The teenage boy was convicted of groping two girls in two different Loudoun County schools last year
One was a girl who he raped in the girls’ bathrooms at Stone Bridge High School while he was wearing a skirt
It led to a row over the school’s transgender policies and whether kids should be able to choose which sex bathroom they use
The boy groped another girl’s breasts at a different school in the district months later
Jessica Smith, the mother of one of his victims, asked for a non-jail sentence
She said it was the only way to give the boy a ‘fighting chance of becoming a better person’

The head of a medical supplies company involved in the distribution and supply of monoclonal antibodies across southeastern and northeastern regions of the nation, told NTD in a Jan. 12 interview that government takeover of the monoclonal antibody supply chain has exacerbated backlogs and shortages.
“The way the products are being distributed right now, relying on the government to determine who gets what, that process can be very lengthy in terms of time,” Dealmed CEO Michael Einhorn said.
As a result, physicians are reporting “surpluses in certain areas, not enough in other areas” which has fueled frustrations when critical patients are not receiving antibodies for COVID-19 infections.

Tell me again how school authorities aren’t all psychopaths?
This is the UK
Parents have slammed a school’s strict new branded uniform policy which means their kids are stopped from wearing their own coats outside.
Pupils at Bishop Heber in Malpas, Cheshire, can only wear a costly branded school jacket on school grounds.
Photos taken by furious parents show staff milling around outside in warm overcoats while some children are just in jumpers, Cheshire Live reports.
One mum said her asthmatic son was put into isolation for retrieving his confiscated coat because he was cold.
The school says it believes if children were allowed to wear their own coats, it would “erode the great relationships we have with the students”, because they might end up wearing hoodies.

I haven’t done a lot of local research yet; one person who I respect quite a bit is a Kari Lake supporter. Not sure if we want to give the dems a shot at the governorship because of infighting, but Duci has been pretty lukewarm as a governor. He did wake up late and has prohibited local authorities from implementing mask mandates and such but that is because it is politically advantageous to do so now. He was wishy-washy early on and we had counties and municipalities setting their own dictats. Now we can, and do, laugh at them. Our county put forth a mask mandate when OMGicron hit, were told there is no way they can enforce it, so are only able to make businesses put up signs. Signs were first, “mask required when entering” and enough people who knew better ignored them so now the signs say, “mask highly encouraged when entering”. I guess it makes them feel better.
I’ll probably support Lake in the primaries, the RINOS in AZ need some wake-up calls. But I don’t want a dem to win that position and I want Mark Kelly soundly defeated. No more candidates like Martha McSally who managed to lose not one, but two senate seats to the dems. Although to be fair, the loss to Sinema was really probably more due to vote fraud than a real election loss.

Global Economy Heading For “Mother Of All” Supply Chain Shocks As China Locks Down Ports
But what until recently was a minority view confined to our modest website, has since expanded and as Bloomberg writes overnight, the effects of restrictions in China as the country maintains its Covid-zero policy “are starting to hit supply chains in the region.” As a result of the slow movement of goods through some of the country’s busiest and most important ports means shippers are now diverting to Shanghai, causing the types of knock-on delays at the world’s biggest container port that led to massive congestion bottlnecks last summer that eventually translated into a record number of container ships waiting off the coast of California, a glut that hasn’t been cleared to this day.

he U.S. Supreme Court is considering at its conference today a 4-year-old Florida boy’s emergency application to stay the Transportation Security Administration’s ability to enforce the Federal Transportation Mask Mandate, which is in effect until at least March 18.
The application from Michael Seklecki Jr. (listed as M.S. in legal papers) of Sanford, Florida, who suffers from Autism Spectrum Disorder and can’t medically wear a face covering, is on the justice’s conference agenda today, one day after the Supreme Court halted the Occupational Safety & Health Administration’s vaccine or mask/test mandate for all companies employing at least 100 workers. Joining the request are his father, Michael Sr., and Lucas Wall of Washington, D.C., who also medically can’t wear masks.
Chief Justice John Roberts denied the application Dec. 9 without comment. The three applicants resubmitted their request for a stay to Justice Neil Gorsuch, who referred it to the entire court for discussion at today’s weekly conference.
“The Supreme Court has been a beacon for liberty during the COVID-19 pandemic, including yesterday’s ruling enjoining President Biden’s attempt to force vaccinations on more than 80 million American workers or make them wear masks and endure weekly testing,” Michael Sr. said. “We’re hoping the justices will take a close look at our application today and put a stop to TSA’s mask mandate. A transportation security agency has no authority from Congress to dictate health measures, and the overwhelming scientific evidence shows that masks don’t stop the spread of coronavirus but harm human health.”
The Sekleckis must fly often between their home near Orlando and Boston for Michael Jr.’s specialty medical care. Wall has a ticket booked to visit his brother in Germany on Jan. 23, a trip that has been postponed numerous times since June 2021 because of the FTMM.

US Government to end daily COVID death reporting
A document issued issued Jan 6 by the US Health and Human Services tells hospitals they are no longer required to report daily COVID-19 deaths to the federal government starting Feb 2.

Hmm. One might think that the federal government is starting to walk things back after realizing they just might have ignited some major pushback.
@ AZfederalist:
My eyes just roll to the back of my head when I hear lefties moving the goal posts on covid reporting. Should be a permanent roll up record that hides identity.

You fell into the trap set by the State worker. I know it’s difficult not to get pissed but it’s always better to use logic to attack the worker and call into question what qualification the worker holds to even make that demand. Unless the State worker is a State registered Psychiatric professional he/she can’t make statements like that. And even if they are Psychiatric professionals they are forbidden to make off the cuff judgements.
If there is a next time demand to see the State workers Professional accreditation documents and then ask why they are making off the cuff judgements.
Never get angry… GET EVEN!

@ eaglesoars:
A mask could be very difficult for some autistic kids. I wonder why they fly him to Boston and Germany though? It would seem better to be close to resources.
@ Aussie Infidel:
You are correct. It was an ACTUAL trap that the worker was planning out. It’s an accepted practice. I was trusting them fully to be honest people. Several people told me to keep quiet but I wasn’t of that mind at that time. I remember the lesson though and I look to leverage it here and there.
darkwords wrote:
Moving the goal posts is akin to lying and Leftists always use lies as their first port of call when it looks as if they are losing an argument.
Just respond that the statement is a lie and ask for proof. If at all possible know the answer or where you can get it before asking a question.

One would think New Yorkers would be the last tribe to fall for this.
I grew up in the midwest and we would say Hi to every person on the street in my town. I moved to the west coast and came to think the habitants were a cynical and insecure people who one would avoid saying Hi to.
I visited New York a few time and it was like getting slapped in the face with every service request. lol. New Yorkers had no time for BS.

Why let the bastards get away with non-reporting of deaths just because it’s now becoming counter productive for them. Demand the reports, but have the true stats on the ACTUAL numbers of Covid (Not co-mobidities related deaths), and make ’em sweat and go jump through YOUR hoops!

i need 4 more letters to have more letters after my name than my full name.
I have this intuition this week that a determined group of conservatives could break twitter by turning up the heat on LGB and Russia lies and Fauci sociopathy. Still getting heat from the twitterati insane. I used the phrase “skin in the game” in a comment and got pushback about being racist. I think they ate their black crayon.
Some people are saying that the backtracking on covid rules is making these people realize they are being lied to. Constantly.

Obviously the next step is to tie the numbers of dead due to Transgenic medicines back to the CCP and Wuhan. Next do what Trump did and DEMAND recompense for the deaths and economic liability that runs into the tens of trillion$. Start by confiscating ALL overseas assets of the CCP and Chinese government.
Make the bastards eyes water. Add interest to any outstanding Chinese debt payable on an annual basis to those aggrieved by this act of war by the international criminal gang, their allies in the West and the CCP.

Stick time is always impressive. As are chute jumps and total rounds fired.
I never compare but I am 1-0-a few thousand. Maybe thousands of rounds then I am a 1-0-2 There is some guy on twitter with 9,000 jumps. In that 9,000 he had about 6 chute failures and fought his way out of all of them with just one being severely damaging.

There is a saying in management that a person can reach a level where they turn left and can’t go forward anymore. The speed is too fast for their experience.

YouTube temporarily suspends, demonetizes Dan Bongino’s channel
YouTube took action against conservative commentator Dan Bongino’s channel Friday, suspending it for violating the platform’s COVID-19 misinformation policy and demonetizing it for at least 30 days.
The weeklong posting suspension stems from a video where Bongino said that masks are “useless” in stopping the spread of the disease.
YouTube’s COVID-19 policy specifically prohibits content denying the effectiveness of wearing masks, which the vast majority of the scientific community agrees reduces the risk of infection.

Since you’re talking about parachute jams, years ago there was an old guy named Smitty the jumper who was in his his 90s I think and every year on his birthday he’d do a tandem jump.
