I agree.
But an electric combine would be pretty cool. I don’t know how they are built now but back in my day the ones for wheat, barley, oats etc had a really complicated system of belts and pulleys to maintain the optimum ground speed and drum rotation. The engine was run at a fixed speed so the drum rotated at, I think 1100 rpm but I may be wrong.
Ground speed had to be finely tuned to crop density. And type.
All electric means all parts of combine could be run by electric motors at optimum speed.

Looks like Pelosi managed to bribe or blackmail enough Dems that they’re going to bring up the assault weapons ban and the PLCAA repeal tomorrow morning for votes.
I haz a question.
Regardless of the fundraising pleas you may have seen, the ‘general consensus’ of fundraising is that it’s not a good idea to send out stuff that says “I’M LOSING IF YOU DON’T GIVE ME MONEY”.
The idea is that most people won’t give $$ to an admitted lost cause.
So…if Liz Cheney is a lost cause in Wyoming, as most people believe, why would Mitt Romney hold a $10k/head fundraiser? Where is the money going?
Things that make you go himmmmm……..

West Virginia bars five financial firms for deemed fossil fuel ‘boycotts’
https://www.reuters.com/business/sustainable-business/west-virginia-bars-five-financial-firms-deemed-fossil-fuel-boycotts-2022-07-28/
WASHINGTON, July 28 (Reuters) – West Virginia has barred five major financial institutions, including Blackrock Inc and JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N) , from new state business after determining that they were boycotting the fossil fuel industry.
Goldman Sachs (GS.N) , Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo & Co are also barred on similar grounds, according to State Treasurer Riley Moore.
Spokespeople for Wells Fargo and Morgan Stanley said the banks disagreed with the decision, and a spokesperson for JPMorgan called it “disconnected from the facts.” A BlackRock spokesperson said it also disagreed with the decision.

Personally, I think this is part of the plan to steal the elections this November. They’ll spend the rest of the summer and fall gradually releasing stories about new “polling” that shows people planning to vote for Democrats. That way, when they produce the fake results, it won’t seem as suspicious.

$10.3 Million Settlement Reached in First COVID Vaccine Mandate Class Action Suit Involving Healthcare Workers
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/healthcare-worker-settlement-covid-vaccine-mandate-class-action-lawsuit/
Today, Liberty Counsel settled the nation’s first classwide lawsuit for healthcare workers over a COVID shot mandate, for more than $10.3 million.
The class action settlement against NorthShore University HealthSystem is on behalf of more than 500 current and former healthcare workers who were unlawfully discriminated against and denied religious exemptions from the COVID shot mandate.
The agreed-upon settlement was filed today in the federal Northern District Court of Illinois.
As a result of the settlement, NorthShore will pay $10,337,500 to compensate these healthcare employees who were victims of religious discrimination, and who were punished for their religious beliefs against taking an injection associated with aborted fetal cells.
This is a historic, first-of-its-kind class action settlement against a private employer who unlawfully denied hundreds of religious exemption requests to COVID-19 shots.
The settlement must be approved by the federal District Court.
Employees of NorthShore who were denied religious exemptions will receive notice of the settlement, and will have an opportunity to comment, object, request to opt out or submit a claim form for payment out of the settlement fund, all in accordance with deadlines that will be set by the court.
As part of the settlement agreement, NorthShore will also change its unlawful “no religious accommodations” policy to make it consistent with the law, and to provide religious accommodations in every position across its numerous facilities.
No position in any NorthShore facility will be considered off limits to unvaccinated employees with approved religious exemptions.
In addition, employees who were terminated because of their religious refusal of the COVID shots will be eligible for rehire if they apply within 90 days of the final settlement approved by the court, and they will retain their previous seniority level.

Biden Creating Permanent U.S. Postal Service Division to Deliver and Return Ballots in US Elections

On July 28, Google’s DeepMind announced its powerful AI system, AlphaFold, has modeled the 3D structures of some 200 million proteins. That’s almost every protein on the planet, published on an open database. Even if we account for errors, no human team has achieved anything close to this.
AlphaFold is a deep learning system. In the initial phase, it was trained on the datasets of known protein structures. Over the past two years, programmers have turned it loose on every genome ever sequenced. The AI can look at any gene and convert the DNA to protein—in virtual space—then predict the folding pattern with remarkable accuracy.
That means scientists can anticipate any protein’s function, whether natural or artificial, starting with nothing but its DNA sequence. That also means genetic engineers can predict what mutations will produce new functions—in silico—before they ever test it in the lab. Months of trial-and-error can be done by computer in an instant. It’s a trashuman fantasy come to life.
The project’s leader, Dame Janet Thornton, told The Guardian, “This insight will now be used to design improved vaccines which induce the most potent transmission-blocking antibodies.”

Jab 2.0 for Humanity 2.0 – Hurtling Down the AI-to-Vaxx Pipeline
Big Pharma embraces the Fourth Industrial Revolution—“the fusion of our physical, digital, and biological identities”

From “Rewriting the Genetic Code” | Tal Zaks | TEDx
Artificial intelligence is pulling new vaccines out of the Platonic realm. Automated labs are on standby, prepared to crank out alien strands of mRNA and pack them into toxic nanoparticles. A billion empty syringes are waiting on shelves.
This is not science fiction. These jabs will be on the market before you can say “boostah.”
Google. Moderna. Microsoft. They’re all racing to the edge. This is corporate transhumanism in all its avaricious glory, riding waves of propaganda and channeled by the biosecurity state.
These people uphold a new mythos whose axis mundi is the Machine. In their world, digital minds are “dreaming up” novel genetic configurations. Biological systems are treated as “living software.” With each technical advance, their myths bleed into our reality.
A 2019 white paper from Policy Horizons Canada Horizons describes this shift as a “biodigital convergence,” characterized by:
1 – Full physical integration of biological and digital entities
2 – Coevolution of biological and digital entities
3 – Conceptual convergence of biological and digital systems
Our intelligentsia—the elites “educated beyond their level of intelligence”—are undergoing a sort of religious conversion. Their world has been illuminated by gene sequencing and neural networks.
Their machines have convinced them that living things are just clunky machines. Our immune systems require software updates. Our flawed genomes need debugging. In order to get there, our brains must be augmented.
“Reality explored by AI, or with the assistance of AI, may prove to be something other than what humans had imagined,” wrote ex-Google chief Eric Schmidt in his 2021 book The Age of AI. “Across the biological, chemical, and physical sciences, a hybrid partnership is emerging in which AI is enabling new discoveries.”
For Schmidt and his coauthors, this vantage point has a mystical quality:
The prognostications of the Gnostic philosophers, of an inner reality beyond ordinary experience, may prove newly significant. … Sometimes, the result will be the revelation of properties of the world that were beyond our conception—until we cooperated with machines.
Lifeless eyes gaze out on a world composed of numbers. Every living creature is just data to be manipulated.

In the next few years, a flood of experimental mRNA vaccines—all designed using AI—will flood the pharmaceutical market. Moderna is working on fifteen different concoctions, targeting everything from the common flu and HIV to malaria and dengue fever. If they can drum up enough public anxiety, we’ll soon see two-legged bio-machines lined up around the block to get their injectable updates.
“We call mRNA the software of life,” Moderna’s CEO told MIT Sloan. “You can copy and paste the information into a lot of drugs by using the same technology.” In the spirit of biodigital convergence, Moderna has trademarked the name “mRNA OS”—as in “mRNA operating system.”
Back in 2017, Moderna’s chief medical officer, Tal Zaks, explained this approach to his TEDx audience:

Researchers Suspect New Variants of Rapidly Progressing Brain Degenerating Diseases From COVID-19 Vaccines
Though he never told his doctors that he started developing symptoms a month after the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, his family thinks that his sudden sickness a month later and dramatic weight loss within weeks seemed like too much of a coincidence.
This suspicion was further confirmed after Linda Howey, Douglas’s mother, heard a podcast by Del Bigtree where Dr. Stephanie Seneff, a senior researcher from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) at the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, talked about her research on possible links between neurodegenerative diseases and the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines.
Once patients are diagnosed with ALS, they are normally given a life expectancy of two to five years. The disease is mostly diagnosed in men, and often between the ages of 55 to 75.
Douglas is younger than this and his illness has progressed much faster than most. He has already entered the late stage of the disease and is experiencing breathing difficulties although he has only been sick for one year.
Linda recalled that Douglas’s fever began in June, around a month after he received his second Moderna COVID-19 vaccine dose on May 21, 2021. He experienced high fever and was bedridden for a month.
Douglas’s father passed away in 2011 after a 25-year battle with a brain degenerative disease called frontotemporal dementia (FTD) that has a genetic component.
Within the last week or so of life, Douglas’s father began to experience ALS symptoms. Though Douglas also has the FTD gene, he was not expecting any significant progression for the next 20 years.
However, after Douglas recovered from his month-long fever, he began to notice constant fatigue and weakness in his grip strength.
Within six weeks of falling ill, he lost 40 pounds and his weight only continued to decline as his appetite deteriorated.
Five months later, Douglas was too weak to handle silverware properly and needed to feed himself with both hands.
Douglas has been a paraplegic since he was hit by a truck in 2012. As a result of that accident, he developed strong upper arms that he used to hoist himself up from bed and to propel himself around in a manual wheelchair.

I seem to remember that number being 3,000 a few years ago. Growth industry.

They blinked. Must be economic issues or allies not lined up. Was a report that they are waiting til Oct after a big CCP meeting.
@ darkwords:
this was all for show on both sides.
i would not be surprised if there were agreements ahead of time. xi gets to whip his people into a nationalistic fervor, and biden looks like a leader.
i aint buying it, nor am i buying pelosi’s comments about ‘freedom and democracy’ either.

Primaries today. I’m in a suburb of Wichita, and I’m usually in and out in less than 10 minutes.
Today, probably mostly because of the abortion vote, it took about 75 minutes.

First half is about Uvalde. The Border Patrol didn’t enter immediately because they were told the classrooms were empty.
Any of you guys have heard any fallout from the al Zawahiri assassination? The Brit newspapers seem to be leading the charge in backgrounding this hit. It seems that the CIA has been tracking Zawahiri through his family members for months. That doesn’t happen unless the Taliban is in the loop as well with the CIA. There is a 3 way gun-fight in Afghanistan just now. The Taliban vs. al Qaeda vs. Islamic State. al Qaeda is the weakest of the protagonists and it looks as if the Taliban wanted them out of the way.
Reading the ‘tea-leaves’ suggests that the assassination of Zawahiri was OKed by the Taliban as long as there was no collateral damage. Hence the use by assumed CIA assets of ‘Switchblade 300 drones’. Just a sliced and diced terrorist on a verandah. That also suggests liaison between the CIA and Taliban, against al Qaeda.
Tried to get access to General retd Keane, or LTC retd Doug MacGregor, or LTC retd Ralph Peters solar to no avail. Peters has recently fallen out with Fox over Fox’s wokeness and may be a possible starter.
Anyone here have access to these commentators?

Correct.
China also has to wait for the weather to come right. Taiwan is only ‘invaluable’ twice a year. March-thru’ April and Sept thru’ October. The rest of the year the seas are too rough and tides too dangerous.
invaluable = invade-able
Bloody predictive rubbish!

Re: Paul Pelosi
That’s barely over the legal limit, but I wouldn’t expect it to cause slurred speech and balance problems.
Wonder what drug was in his system.
