Finally, i got sent away from the endless level 1 trauma big city loop to one of our wayyyyyyy out there hospitals.
9 months of pressure cooker work ended. Sent to a smaller hospital. The Hotel is AMAZING!
I stay at many hotels, it’s part of the job. But, this one feels great. Its the Genetti in Williamsport, PA. It’s oldschool.
Old and unabashedly not updated, I got good vibes when I walked in…1920’s charm with a great bar. This is not a cut and paste room like i’m used to.
My Mom’s family owns property just north of here in the Pine Creek river valley, but, its just a touch too far away to stay there. If i stayed there, I’d call off to go fly fishing for native brooks on Callahan’s run and have a few beers in the Wagon Wheel in Camal PA. Easier to stay away.
Well, we are in the ‘big city’ lol in north central PA…quaint, actually. I did find two excellent breweries and one decent cigar shop. And, I found a proper tailor and men’s outfitter. I am getting measured for a barbour jacket tomorrow. Possum and AI know what those are. my last barbour was over 20 years ago (in Scotland) and it is getting threadbare in the usual places. i have abused the snot out of it whilst doing the normal scheduled maintenance. I’ll hand it to one of the girls and it will be worn, in an ironic way, and with style….or something….teens.
the fun part is that i have a ton of points with this hotel brand and got a nice upgrade. yep –> 10th floor
i’m not sure if i have to genuflect or not in front of the pic.

I have a new story.
My identity has been stolen. It seems I opened a bank account with a bank in Texas.
Got an email from the bank telling me thank you for the application and we are processing it.
Called the bank fraud line and spoke to a nice lady, she asked for my details and I said no, but can you search on just my email address?
She did, and told me my SSN last four digits, my phone number, my date of birth and the last 5 digits of my driver license.
I said I did not apply! so she added a note to the application that it may be fraud.
Went to the chex thingy site that clears all this shit and yes! They did have a credit check from that bank. They also listed my home address the bank used!
I wish I had not filed a report with the FTC in retrospect.
It would have been fun to watch that account and withdraw any money the mudderfuggers deposited in it!

Feds Revive Bogus Probe on Matt Gaetz After He Calls Out FBI Director Christopher Wray for Protecting the Bidens
In the immediate aftermath of Gaetz’s public flagellation of Wray, CNN reported that the bogus sexual assault investigation against Gaetz would be renewed by federal investigators.
Investigators from the House Ethics Committee are alleging that Gaetz may have been involved in sexual misconduct, illegal drug use, and committed lobbying violations. These allegations are resurfacing despite the fact that the Department of Justice investigated Gaetz for years and found no evidence to charge him with any crimes.
In response to news of the investigation being re-opened, Gaetz said it is “not something [he is] worried about,” and he remains focused on “the work.”
“The Ethics Committee typically operates through leaks and so this is no surprise, but the Ethics Committee has never found me to be in violation of House rules, though they’ve been investigating me during my entire seven years in Congress,” he said. “It’s also funny that the one guy who doesn’t take the corrupt lobbyist and PAC money seems to be under the most Ethics investigation.”

I’m waiting until none of us is allowed to break wind. They’ll use that as a reason to control our diet.
this is fine. The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has proposed that all assets be digitized.
In simple terms, the BIS’ blueprint proposes that all private property in the real world, such as money, houses, cars, etc., would be “tokenised” into digital assets within an “everything in one place” global unified ledger.
CBDCs would be “core to the functioning” of this tokenised world and serve as the reserve currency on the unified ledger. Transactions between CBDCs and tokenised assets, which represent real-world assets, would operate seamlessly through smart contracts on one programmable platform.
Each token representing a real-world asset in this digital space would contain a large amount of data received from the real world in real time about what it is, who it belongs to, etc., as well as rules on how that particular asset can and cannot be used. The BIS explains how these rules are set up by “directly embedding supervisory features into the token itself, which can be tailored to specific rules.”
The main takeaway of this BIS blueprint is that whatever happens in their dystopian digital world, has legally binding impacts on assets in the real world. So, maybe the WEF’s catch phrase should be “You may own digital tokens, but we will control the real assets.”

When looking at top-line data, it’s clear that sleeping problems are a major concern in the United States. It’s estimated that around 30% of adults suffer from insomnia, and an even higher percentage experience occasional short sleep of less than 7 hours per night.
Researchers who have started to dig deeper into this big-picture data, though, have found that, although sleeping problems can affect people of all races, there are strong indications that they have a disproportionate impact on racial and ethnic minorities.

These ideological shifts have raised substantial concerns regarding potential harm that such denial of biological realities could inflict on patients. However, recent academic discourse has escalated these concerns to new levels. A provocative new paper in the journal Qualitative Research in Health titled “Medical uncertainty and reproduction of the ‘normal’: Decision-making around testosterone therapy in transgender pregnancy” by Pfeffer and colleagues propels us further down the road of medical malpractice.
The authors, a group of transgender sociologists and enthusiasts, and healthcare activists, with not one medical degree among them, argue to dramatically move the goal posts of medical ethics, choosing to completely disregard the health, safety, and well-being of the developing fetus, all in the name of “trans” inclusion. Abiding by their paper’s guidance would land us in a vacuum devoid of medical ethics and a seismic shift away from the importance of scientific research and medical evidence in favor of activist directed healthcare.
The authors argue that “gendered” pregnancy care is too focused on helping women have healthy babies, and that it might be okay for transmen to continue taking testosterone during pregnancy despite the known health risks to the fetus and effects on its normal development. The desire for “normal fetal outcomes,” according to the authors, is rooted in a problematic desire “to protect their offspring from becoming anything other than ‘normal’” and “reflect historical and ongoing social practices for creating ‘ideal’ and normative bodies.”
This is, quite frankly, insane.

Obviously it’s doctorate season as a young woman that I have known since she was one year of age just got capped in Holland at Maastricht University. Her doctoral thesis was titled ‘Investing for the State’. She sent me her autographed thesis and Taotao’s proud dad dropped it off when we had coffee and cake yesterday.

She’s smart enough to realise that Holland is ‘toast’ within the next few years, and is scheming to shift to Australia and University of Brisbane.
I am trying my level best to wade through the thesis’ dense financial ‘ jargon-ese’ but it’s a serious challenge to figure out what she’s trying to say.

Major shooting in Quay Street Auckland. Single shooter now seriously dead (still not clear whether it was self inflicted or a Police sniper who killed him). One cop wounded but not life threatening. Multiple civilians wounded and the downtown harbour quarter totally locked down and in gridlock. Police, Ambulances, Fire rescue and Military bomb disposal on the scene. Harbourside office blocks in lockdown until the situation stabilises. At least it’s not a bad winter’s morning and it’s not raining.

You guys and the rest of us are so very screwed. Xi must have a smile a mile wide just now, as must Putin as Odessa gets worked over by Russian long range missiles and the grain loading silos and loading wharves are wrecked.
3 hours ago (8AM local time) a 24 year old foreign construction worker, armed with a shotgun, arrived at work on the PWC building in Harbourside Auckland. He began to shoot his fellow workers killing two and wounding several others. The perportrator was fronted by an armed Police officer who attempted to stabilise the scene of the attack. The Police officer was shot and wounded. It is unclear whether the shooter died by his own hand or was shot by a Police sniper. Police are carrying out a thorough search of the whole downtown area that is currently under lockdown, looking for any other armed offenders. Today is the opening day of the FIFA woman’s (soccer) Football World Cup sited this year in Australia and NZ. Auckland hosts the first match this evening in Auckland and the city is full of international diplomats, FIFA officials, Global soccer teams and large numbers of tourists, in town for the opening of the Women’s Football World Cup.
Apparently the shooter is a foreign guest worker who has been working on the upper levels of the PwC Building. The perp was wearing a Corrections Ankle Bracelet for some offence already and how he managed to get into the city and onto his worksite is anyone’s guess! He killed two of his fellow foreign construction workers and wounded a number of others before being killed himself. The Harbour end of Auckland remains in lockdown until Police are satisfied that there are no other shooters on the loose. This is NOT a good look for NZ on the First Day of the World Football Cup, with the global press all in town to report on the soccer.
Final tally of wounded in Auckland:-
3 seriously wounded (guest construction workers from various countries)
3 moderate wounds (including a Police Officer and two guest construction workers
3 Killed( including the shooter, by suicide) all guest construction workers
Lockdown of central Auckland has been lifted, as the construction site of PwC building remains isolated as detectives gather evidence.
NZ Police Officer wounded in this morning’s shooting was a member of the Armed Offender’s Squad and was wounded in an exchange of fire between the shooter and AOS officers. The shooter had been isolated in a lift well with Police AOS officers controlling the floors above and below the floor that the lift was on with the shooter engaging Police from both above and below. The shooter then turned the pump action shotgun on himself and committed suicide.
Police report that the odd civilian is turning up at Auckland City Hospital to have minor wounds treated. Three seriously wounded plus the AOS Officer are currently in surgery having their wounds treated. Central and Harbourside Auckland lockdown has been lifted with the exception of the PwC building and construction site where evidence collection is proceeding.

Has all the symptoms of a grudge between guest workers with someone ganging up with his mates at work against some schmuck with a VERY short fuse and access to a pump shotgun and a bag full of Buckshot. There is a terrible shortage of building workers here and there are guest workers all over the place on 6 month visas. We have at least 100 working on a VERY expensive bunch of units at the top of my street. $7.5 million for the penthouse and $3.5 m for the lower units. As well another team of about 70+ are horizontal drilling along the top 400m of the street, busy laying Amazon fibre cable. They only just got done laying Sky fibre not 12 months ago.
This guy was ankle bracelet-ed and serving a home detention sentence for family violence (go figure I don’t understand either!) There should have been no way to get a shotgun whilst under home detention but he still did. Now I will guarantee that the anti-gun Green Party nutters will demand that everyone else turns in their shotguns! Games sell firearms all over the place, mostly stolen to order from licensed gun owners.
We also have 8-17 year olds ram-raiding retail every night and only 10% ever get charged let alone getting sanctioned. 117 already this year with corner Dairies, run by Indians, the prime targets as well as jewellery stores and gas stations (for cigarettes and tobacco). The current Labour government have let go 35% of criminals from the prisons for ideological reasons. Almost all are Maori and Islanders who are all ‘misunderstood’. The NZ Police aren’t even charging these kids anymore because it’s always just ‘Family Group Conferences ….. when the families are mostly professional criminal families. They are never sanctioned and there just aren’t enough cops to go around. Only 2 months to go before the National elections when the current Labour administration will go down in a screaming heap with their Green Party and Parti te Maori mates.

Once he’s passed the Murder Squad he does his second to last big written exams and then does a few mini exams and spends a month back t the Police College doing simulator runs through training houses and sim-rooms. Then back to ‘Raiding and turning over Gang HQs’ and some more investigations whilst preparing for his BIG finals. Hopefully with his gold Detective shield by Christmas, and let loose in the CIB as a newly minted Detective Sergeant.

Mathew Reed was the name of this morning’s shooter. He was Maori and had a long history of family violence and a hatred for his partner’s family with threats to destroy them on several occasions.
He of course had no licence for his firearm and this time had been sentenced to 5 months home detention after a number of similar charges. He was given ‘dispensation’ by the sentencing justice to attend work at this multi-story highrise building in Downtown Auckland!
I’m STILL trying to get my head around his being detained with an ankle bracelet AT HOME where his partner, on occasion, also lives. Is the judge a total moron?
NOW of course the hard left are screaming for all firearms be individually licensed and even kept in a central lockup where firearm owners are supposed to apply to draw out their firearm. What bloody planet do these urban Green socialist idiots actually inhabit? The shooter didn’t have a licence and the firearm was ILLEGALLY acquired on the illicit marketplace.
SOOO logically all Legal owners get penalised …. AGAIN!
This is beyond madness.

Apparently the shooter DIDN’T suicide. He was shot multiple times by the Armed Offenders Squad and Special Tactics Group guys. The cop that got hit was with the AOS, and a ball from the buckshot slipped past the edge of his armoured vest. He’s been operated on and is comfortable in hospital tonight. The 5 civilians wounded are all OK too and the two who were critical were successfully operated on as well and they are out of danger.

Well two of them are not just cats.
Got them when they were two days old. Umbilical cords still pink and to be honest nasty.
February 16th 2020 The plan was bottle feed then wean them and when 6 weeks old dump them at the cat shelter place while they were cute kittens.
Then COVID happened! No place to get rid of them
Now the boys are 3 and a half years old, still have their nuts. ( no car, no way of taking them to the vet )
They are now wild and feral and….. Love to jump on the bed and cuddle their mom. Which is actually me, but I just held the bottle of cat milk every two hours for four weeks.
No good deed goes unpunished. As I find out every time it is bed time!

In 2019, researchers with the University of Louisville identified Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis), a pathogen involved in chronic periodontitis, in the brains of patients with Alzheimer’s disease.7 Gingipains — toxic proteases from P. gingivalis — were also found in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients. Levels of gingipains were associated with two markers of the disease, tau protein and another protein called ubiquitin.8

The heat records have been “shattered” because ESA has started using Land Surface Temperatures, not air temperatures at 2m above the surface, which means they have altered the standards of the past records (which means they are not actually record temperatures, except on the short-term).
ESA explains “the map shows the actual temperature of the land’s surface which is significantly hotter than air temperatures”.

Interesting Study. By Alex Bertrams and Ann Krispenz, both out of University of Bern.
The Dark Ego Vehicle Principle
In a recent investigation, we examined the relationships of left-wing authoritarianism with so-called dark personality traits (Krispenz & Bertrams, 2023; see also Costello et al., 2022; Moss & O’Connor, 2020; Zeigler-Hill et al., 2021) and measures of prosociality. We found that a strong ideological view, according to which a violent revolution against existing societal structures is legitimate (i.e., anti-hierarchical aggression), was associated with antagonistic narcissistic (Study 1) and psychopathological personality traits (Study 2). Surprisingly, in our studies, neither dispositional altruism nor social justice commitment was found to be related to anti-hierarchical aggression. After obtaining these results, we presumed that some people adhere to ideology or activism not to actually work toward the specified goals of some kind of improvement but to use it as a vehicle to satisfy their own ego-focused, sometimes even anti-social, needs. For instance, a highly narcissistic individual may pretend to make society more just for all people, while actually using social justice demands to present themselves as morally outstanding or meet their thrills (e.g., via violent escalations during protests). We refer to this assumed phenomenon as the dark-ego-vehicle principle (DEVP).
.
.
Therefore, we followed Miller et al. (2016) in that the defining characteristics of individuals high in narcissistic traits (here called narcissists) can be subsumed under the following three factors: (1) antagonistic narcissism (i.e., inclinations to manipulate and exploit others, self-perceived entitlement, arrogance, reactive anger, distrust, lack of empathy, and thrill seeking), (2) extraverted narcissism or agentic extraversion (i.e., inclinations to acclaim seeking, authoritativeness, grandiose fantasies, and exhibitionism), and (3) neurotic narcissism (i.e., inclinations to experience shame, low indifference, and a need for admiration).

The temperature ‘goalposts’ have been moved about over the past half century to support or undermine whatever current theory demands. It’s all an ideological driven narrative pushing exercise in Politics 101 with little science at all applied in the traditional sense.
Back in the 1960s temperature reporting probes sat in louvred white painted boxes well away from other structures that might impede the free flow of air. Now to get the REQUIRED result probes sit in black tarred parking lots overlooked by brick heat sinks and air conditioning units.
To hell with the scientific method. It’s all politics and hidden agendas now, including so called activist ‘scientists’ (cough) cherry picking data to get the result that fits with the political narrative. And the so called ‘experts’ wonder why the Joe Sixpacks don’t trust their hidden agendas.
Hard core political narratives, especially socialist agenda activism, based on lies from the start, are the most egregious malefactors. 100+ million dead last century suggests that strongly.

Putting in a gas oven in the cottage is not worth the trouble. We can just put one in the house and use an Air fryer in the cottage as it only pulls 1.5 kW and is good enough the cottage.

There’s an entire sub-culture that’s popped up regarding narcissism since Harry’s Wife popped on the scene. On youtube there is someone who goes by HG Tudor, who claims to be an ultra pathological narcissist*.

No. But as far as I can tell, he’s never been wrong. It’s fascinating stuff and I listen to as much as I can. One of the most interesting things about Harry’s Wife is that, as a mid-range narcissist, she is completely lacking in self-awareness. She has no idea that she is self-contradicting, none of it. She believes, sincerely, that all women want to be like her, all men want to knock her hip out, and people who don’t like her are jealous racists.
*His backstory, as I understand it, is that he was forced into therapy by his family who threatened to incarcerate him if he didn’t. As an ultra psychopathic narcissist, he doesn’t do what he does because he cares about helping people understand, but because he wants to leave a legacy. He does experience fear and says his greatest fear is death. Building a legacy that will survive him is his ultimate motivation

Researchers horrified, decry rise of ‘fascism’ as students send mocking responses to woke survey
The team claimed 50 of 349 responses to their questionnaire on the topic contained “slurs, hate speech, or direct targeting of the research team.” Labeling them “malicious respondents,” they adapted their project to examine how the joke responses “relate to engineering culture by framing them within larger social contexts — namely, the rise of online fascism.”
The result was the paper titled, “Attack Helicopters and White Supremacy: Interpreting Malicious Responses to an Online Questionnaire about Transgender Undergraduate Engineering and Computer Science Student Experiences.”

The result was the paper titled, “Attack Helicopters and White Supremacy: Interpreting Malicious Responses to an Online Questionnaire about Transgender Undergraduate Engineering and Computer Science Student Experiences.”
.
.
The research team declared that the mockery they received “had a profound impact on morale and mental health,” particularly for one transgender researcher who was “already in therapy for anxiety and depression regarding online anti-trans rhetoric.” The paper claimed that “managing the study’s data collection caused significant personal distress, and time had to be taken off the project to heal from traumatic harm” of having to read students’ responses in the survey.
.
.
The researchers appeared surprised that their own findings had been “ultimately rejected” by many academic journals, leaving them with the impression that their research decrying so-called fascism in academia is viewed by some as “irrelevant to engineering education, if not alarmist.”
They claimed their research methods used “antifascist and trans/queer methodologies to transform the raw data” and “make effective interventions and transformations to our programs and institutions.” They described “Anti-fascism” in particular as a framework that connects “contemporary fascist movements to the foundation of the U.S. as a racial project,” noting elsewhere that “White supremacy” remains ubiquitous in the U.S.

Computer chip with built-in human brain tissue gets military funding
https://newatlas.com/computers/human-brain-chip-ai/
Last year, Monash University scientists created the “DishBrain” – a semi-biological computer chip with some 800,000 human and mouse brain cells lab-grown into its electrodes. Demonstrating something like sentience, it learned to play Pong within five minutes.
The micro-electrode array at the heart of the DishBrain was capable both of reading activity in the brain cells, and stimulating them with electrical signals, so the research team set up a version of Pong where the brain cells were fed a moving electrical stimulus to represent which side of the “screen” the ball was on, and how far away from the paddle it was. They allowed the brain cells to act on the paddle, moving it left and right.
Then they set up a very basic-reward system, using the fact that small clusters of brain cells tend to try to minimize unpredictability in their environment. So if the paddle hit the ball, the cells would receive a nice, predictable stimulus. But if it missed, the cells would get four seconds of totally unpredictable stimulation.
It was the first time lab-grown brain cells had been used this way, being given not only a way to sense the world, but to act on it, and the results were impressive.

The Biden administration is preparing to implement a sweeping nationwide ban on commonly used light bulbs as part of its energy efficiency and climate agenda.
The regulations, which prohibit retailers from selling incandescent light bulbs, were finalized by the Department of Energy (DOE) in April 2022 and are slated to go into effect on Aug. 1, 2023. The DOE will begin full enforcement of the ban on that date, but it has already urged retailers to begin transitioning away from the light bulb type and, in recent months, begun issuing warning notices to companies.

The 30-Year-Old CEO Conjuring Drug Companies From Thin Air
https://www.forbes.com/sites/nathanvardi/2015/09/09/the-30-year-old-ceo-conjuring-drug-companies-from-thin-air/?sh=5720ab124f39
Ramaswamy’s Bermuda-based company, Axovant Sciences, had been formed only eight months earlier, but here it was raising $360 million to develop an Alzheimer’s drug that had been all but abandoned by giant pharma GlaxoSmithKline. On the first day of trading the stock almost doubled, giving Axovant a market capitalization of nearly $3 billion. Considering that Ramaswamy had persuaded Glaxo to part with the unproven remedy for a mere $5 million up front, the newlyweds were ecstatic, as was a veritable wedding party of hedge fund pals who had followed Ramaswamy into the stock.
Yet as quickly as it started, the honeymoon was over. Why would Glaxo sell off a promising drug for so little? critics asked. And how could a company with ten employees, two of whom were Ramaswamy’s mother and brother, be worth so much? Experts, analysts and the collective blogosphere quickly piled on, and Axovant’s shares went into free fall. By early September they were trading 12% below the IPO price.
.
.
Leaning on his Wall Street background and armed with a $400 million war chest, Ramaswamy is building a portfolio not of stocks but of has-been drugs that he grabs for “pennies on the dollar,” free-riding on the billions in research that pharma sometimes sinks into failed trials. Using a pharmaceutical holding company he formed last year, Roivant Sciences, Ramaswamy hopes to spin out dozens of companies, much as he did with Axovant. “This will be the highest return on investment endeavor ever taken up in the pharmaceutical industry,” he boasts. “It will be a pipeline every bit as deep and diverse as the most promising pharma company in the world but with a capital efficiency that is unprecedented.”

A month or more on 10 lb lifting limit so the wound doesn’t reopen. 50% chance of pillar pain in the two parts of my hand that the ligament used to join. Possibility of strength reduction in my hand up to 30%.

I really dislike maple syrup. I hate the taste of it and the smell.
A week ago I got a Walmart grocery order, one of the items was a 1.5lbs pack of apple wood smoked bacon for about $8.50 an OK price for bacon as it goes a long way.
They substituted hickory smoked, who gives a shit so I said fine.
It arrived. Hickory smoked and in fine print with maple syrup.
Bugger…..
What to do you ask. Well, cauliflower cheese, topped with that nasty maple bacon and throw on top of that three fried eggs sunny side up is like the nectar of the gods!

Things are awful sketchy in Delaware, as the Hunter Biden case is about to enter court for Judge Maryellen Noreika to review sweetheart plea deal between corrupt DOJ officials and Hunter Biden lawyers.
As the situation unfolded, Congress filed an amicus brief opposing the plea deal and outlining new evidence discovered by the House Oversight Committee so the judge would have additional background on the deal. The amicus filing was done by GOP lawyer Mr. Theodore Kittila, from the committee.
Someone from the defense team, a lawyer later identified as Jessica Bengels from the law firm of Latham and Watkins, then contacted the clerk of the court -falsely claimed to be working with Theodore Kittila- and asked the clerk to remove the amicus filing. The clerk removed the filing.
GOP lawyer Kittila found out and contacted the clerk to understand what was going on. Mr. Kittila then confronted the lawyers for Hunter Biden, and Judge Noreika is a little angry about the Biden team manipulation

Chase Bank Suddenly Shuts Down Bank Accounts of Mercola Market and its Employees With No Explanation – Owner Blames Political Bias
Florida-based retail health company Mercola Market and its employees were shocked when JP Morgan Chase Bank suddenly terminated their bank accounts without explanation, Florida’s Voice reported.
Mercola Market, a company renowned for its specialty food, drinks, supplements, pet products, and other health items, is owned by Dr. Joseph Mercola, a critic of COVID-19 vaccines and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Dr. Mercola has practiced medicine since 1985 and founded the world’s largest natural health website.
On July 13, the company, along with its CEO, CFO, and some family members, received identical letters from Chase Bank stating that their accounts were to be closed. The reason for this sudden decision, however, was left unexplained.
“Financial institutions have an obligation to know our customers and monitor transactions that flow through our customers’ accounts. After careful consideration, we decided to close your accounts because of unexpected activity on this or another Chase account,” according to the letter from Chase Bank.
A voicemail from a Chase representative to CEO Steven Rye stated that the reason for closing his personal and his wife’s accounts could not be disclosed “for legal reasons.”
Still, Rye maintains the belief that the closures were a direct result of Dr. Mercola’s views on the pandemic.

Niger’s leader detained by his guards in “fit of temper,” president’s office says
JULY 26, 2023 / 8:47 PM / CBS/AFP
An attempted coup was underway Wednesday in the fragile nation of Niger, where members of the Presidential Guard detained President Mohamed Bazoum, triggering a standoff with the army, sources said.
The head of the West African bloc ECOWAS said Benin President Patrice Talon was heading to Niger on a mediation bid after the region was struck by a new bout of turbulence.
The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the African Union both decried what they called an “attempted coup d’etat,” while the UN secretary-general said he had spoken to the apparently-detained leader and offered support.

DOJ Prepares To Throw David Weiss Under The Bus
The Department of Justice (DOJ) began to offer dates for Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss to explain on Capitol Hill why federal prosecutors struck a weak plea agreement with the president’s son.
On Monday, the assistant attorney general for legislative affairs sent a letter to the House Judiciary Committee “to offer U.S. Attorney Weiss to testify shortly after Congress returns from
the August district work period.” The department offered Sept. 27-28 or Oct. 18-19 for Weiss to give public testimony, according to the letter obtained by The Federalist.
“U.S. Attorney Weiss is the appropriate person to speak to these issues, as he is both the senior Department official responsible for the investigation as well as the person with direct knowledge of the facts necessary to respond to the assertions in which you have expressed interest,” the letter said, indicating the DOJ is preparing to throw Weiss under the bus for the Biden-protection racket.

Undoubtedly, this entire scheme of digital currencies will be the death of Western Civilization. The Founding Fathers prohibited Direct Taxation which was repealed during the Marxist movement toward creating the Income Tax. Once the income tax was imposed, the government then needed to know everything you did. That is why the Founding Fathers prohibited any form of direct taxation. Now even a journalist, if he fails to comply with the demands of the government, is targeted by the IRS. This allows them to go after anyone unless you are the son of a senile president who does as he is told. So yes, this will be the WORST currency in human history and it will be the final nail in the coffin of freedom.

It is possible to drop a round manhole cover down a hole, but not through it, unless the cover is made of another material (like glass) and you shatter it.
And if a rectangular manhole cover, such as a steel plate, is larger than the hole, then it won’t drop through.

Largest US Grid Declares Emergency Alert For July 27
The largest US grid issued an Energy Emergency Alert level one, meaning it is concerned about being able to maintain adequate power reserves on July 27 as consumers and businesses turn up their air conditioners amid scorching heat. PJM has ordered all power plants to be online and for consumers enrolled in demand-response programs to be ready to curtail their electricity usage to keep power supply stable, according to a notice late Wednesday.
Across the US, about 170 million people are under heat advisories or excessive heat warnings, said Bob Oravec, a senior branch forecaster at the US Weather Prediction Center.
PJM, which serves more than 65 million people from Washington, DC to Illinois, warned of potential tight conditions earlier in the week and asked generators to prepare. Power suppliers that fail to show up when asked to by the grid may face stiff penalties.

To be totally fair anyone who claims to be African American should have to PROVE that his/her/its forebears were NOT slave OWNERS! The alternative to seeking reparations should also require NOT being an alleged African American Slave Owner who owned other African American slaves OR white slaves, as the case may be.
Of course African slaves were trafficked from Africa by other Africans and Arab slave traders, mostly to Brazil and Central America as well as North America but in relative lesser numbers.
If you were British it was illegal to slave after the mid 1700s and any slave who reached Britain after that time was automatically FREE. The British Royal Navy’s West African Squadron patrolled the Atlantic African coast to spoil any slave ship’s day!
It may seem strange that in the Middle East where slaving still happens to this day (AKA Saudi Arabia) that there is no large former slave demographic still existing. All Male slaves were castrated when entering into the Middle Eastern slave markets, mostly from the East coast of Africa. The Turks especially specialised in running white slave armies of castrated Balkan white slave ‘Januaries’ to die as ‘shock troops’, in the Turk’s wars against Southern Europeans.

A a single preposition tilted the nuance slightly and changed the context. Was walking out of the exam when it hit him ….. ” ohhh THAT is what they were getting at!” Still NOT TOO shabby!

So proud of my man.

It’s remarkable how the western mindset has changed and fairly rapidly, all things considered.
I’m not an economist but I wonder if mechanization/industrialization that made human labor less necessary might have had a role.
If I weren’t so lazy, I’d look at the status of serfs in old Russia or something.

Charges DROPPED Against Dem Megadonor Sam Bankman-Fried.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has dropped campaign finance charges against alleged ‘crypto scammer’ Sam Bankman-Fried, who was accused of misusing customer deposits and who made $90 million in campaign contributions to around 300 predominantly left-wing political candidates or action committees (PACs). Prosecutors argued the United States “mishandled” the process of extraditing Bankman-Fried from the Bahamas, writing a letter stating, “In keeping with its treaty obligations to the Bahamas, the government does not intend to proceed to trial on the campaign contributions count.”

I know…. I know it’s a dead rubber and all BUT it’s shaping up like a good game of cricket at the Oval in London.
Fifth Ashes Test match and England ended day#1 all out for 286.
The Aussies are 1 for 61 at ‘Stumps’ on Day #1 and are playing well after two forgettable Tests #3 & #4 with a loss and a near run thing that was washed out on Day #5 for a draw. D ay one and England started with a hiss and a roar and were looking dangerous at None for 62 before the wickets began to tumble. Looked to me that the Aussie slips needed some more work, as they missed 5 regulation catches with some sloppy slips fielding. After tea the Aussies began to get their act on the road and by lunch the Brits were beginning to look vulnerable. By tea it was all over for the English and the Aussie Openers were looking confident. One wicket lost to some sharp English fielding and it was all over for Day #1.
The Oval looks very tidy and there is a full ground for Test #5 and Day # 2 of some great cricket. Recording it and will stay well away from Newspapers, radios and TV and watch day #2 and might even go to the gym for some ultra s-l-o-w heavies until failure and them a bit of back work , stretching, and Fartig …. 2 minutes light peddling then 20 seconds fast full hard and then back to 2 minutes light peddling… for 5 sets. In and out all in just 40 minutes. Really chuffed that I’m managing this heavy stuff again and feeling a load stronger and beginning climbing the ladder over the next 6 weeks to my limit again. Shoulders and back are feeling great but I’m smart enough to know to not push it too fast too soon. Keeping up the light stuff but they are boring and they take so long to get through. By mid September I will ditch the boring light stuff and just go back to 3-4 gym visits for 40 minutes of hard stuff a fortnight and scrub the light stuff and just top up with stretching and flexibility as well as the Fartig for my ‘wind’.
🙂
I assume that you are managing to get Test #5 even if the Ashes will be going home with the Aussies?

If someone wants to ship a cargo of EVs the insurance is going to skyrocket. Assuming they can find someone willing to ship. Now go ask Elon why he started a factory in China.

@ coldwarrior:
Sounds as if the Aussies had a large lunch on Day #2 at the Oval. Looking OK until tea when the Aussies got tied down for a while by some seriously good bowling and fielding by England. Then Lunch and the collapse began to set in and by tea the Aussies were in a field of pain and were deep into their tail end with still 70 runs adrift of the English first innings. Too much pudding for lunch for the Aussies and they are in a serious post – lunch slump. The initiative is well and truly back with the English and there needs to be a tail end rally by the Aussies with only Smith left of the Aussie Middle Order batsmen.
Finely poised with the wind getting behind the English!

Smith got his 50 and will run out of partners at this rate and Oz is still about 65 short with the whole weights now on Smith’s shoulders and a bowler’s pitch for both the seamers and spinners. The groundsmen have produced an excellent pitch for this game.

Good article, it explains how visual detection of UFOs can be mistaken. That’s fine, it needs to be taken into account.
But 2 things still don’t, um, fly.
1. Often there is corroborating evidence provided by technology, e.g., radar.
2. The gov’t is still hiding stuff. If it’s all explainable, why hide it.

Don’t ask me how I stumbled on this, just lucky I guess.
if you have to bury a body, do it vertically, satellites look for 6ft long holes and marks them for investigation, also, bury the body under a dead dog, sniffer dogs will mark that spot and when they dig it up and find the dog, they will mark it as a false positive and move on.
The number of UFO crashes to sightings is microscopically small. Any crash seen with water is more probably vehicle going under the water. As far as I’m concerned there are only a couple of crashes that could possibly be real. Things like shag harbor sound more like a landing (though that could have gone wrong, considering who visible it was). Roswell, possibly real, I knew some people that were stationed at Davis Monthan that swore all the way into the 90’s when I met them that in the early 80’s the wreckage and bodies were moved there for storage and analysis, leaving Area 51 as a red herring. Only other incident that sounds potentially legit was Aurora Texas and that was in 1897. So, quite a bit of time between the two. Most of the other incidents are lacking in details and descriptions of what happened.
Then consider that massive numbers of sightings by comparison.

Illegal Biolab Discovered in California Warehouse Containing ‘At Least 20 Potentially Infectious Agents’ Including Coronavirus and HIV
by Jamie White
A mysterious unsanctioned lab operating in a warehouse in the city of Reedley, California, was discovered by local and federal authorities.
The bizarre discovery was made in March when Reedley code enforcement officers were sent to the warehouse over an illegally attached garden hose and other building code violations.
“It was pretty clear right off the bat that something was going on we didn’t have a business license for,” Reedley City Manager Nicole Zieba said. “They didn’t have any city approvals; that building was supposed to be vacant.”
The Fresno County Department of Health was then called, where they found an “unlicensed laboratory full of lab mice, medical waste and hazardous materials”, including samples of coronavirus, HIV, hepatitis, chlamydia, and E. Coli.
The discovery of biological and viral agents at the warehouse led to a multi-agency investigation which included the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the FBI, the State Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), the State Department of Health and the California Department of Public Health (CDPH).
From NBC News:
According to court documents, city officials inspected the location at 850 I St. on March 3 for building violations and found various chemicals being stored. On March 16, an inspection by county public health officials allegedly turned up medical devices thought to have been developed on-site, such as Covid and pregnancy tests.
“Certain rooms of the warehouse were found to contain several vessels of liquid and various apparatus,” court documents said. “Fresno County Public Health staff also observed blood, tissue and other bodily fluid samples and serums; and thousands of vials of unlabeled fluids and suspected biological material.”
Hundreds of mice at the warehouse were kept in inhumane conditions, court documents said. The city took possession of the animals in April, euthanizing 773 of them; more than 175 were found dead.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tested the substances and detected at least 20 potentially infectious agents, including coronavirus, HIV, hepatitis and herpes, according to a Health and Human Services letter dated June 6.
The tenant of the warehouse is China-linked company Prestige BioTech, who is not license to operate in California.
Officials spoke to the company’s president Xiuquin Yao, who claimed that Prestige BioTech “moved assets belonging to a defunct company, Universal Meditech Inc., to the Reedley warehouse from Fresno after UMI went under. Prestige Biotech was a creditor to UMI and identified as its successor, according to court documents,” NBC News reported.
“The other addresses provided for identified authorized agents were either empty offices or addresses in China that could not be verified,” court documents said.
The documents also reveal that between October 2022 until its discovery, Prestige BioTech was illegally disposing of medical wastes, including the mice, while operating the illegal biolab.
Incredibly, Prestige BioTech represenative Wang Zhaolin told investigators that the mice were “genetically engineered to catch and carry the COVID-19 virus.”
Local officials said a biologically hazardous situation like this is unprecedented.
“This is an unusual situation. I’ve been in government for 25 years. I’ve never seen anything like this,” said Zieba.
Fresno County Department of Public Health (FCDPH) Director David Luchini said, “I’ve been with the department for 30 years and I don’t recall a similar situation.”
FCDPH assistant director Joe Prado echoed Luchini’s remarks.
“Twenty-six years with the county of Fresno, and I have never come across this situation nor have I heard any of my counterparts deal with a situation like this,” Prado said, adding that investigators found “over 800 different chemicals on site in different bottles of different acids.”
“Unfortunately, a lot of these are being categorized under unknown chemicals,” he said. “The evaluation required coordination and collaboration with multiple federal and state agencies to determine and classify biological and chemical contents onsite, in addition to assessing jurisdictional authority under this unique situation.”
How was this illegal biolab able to run in California without regulation or any awareness by Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) administration?

This is really good – there was a massive volcanic eruption not too long ago that we never heard about
Somebody go get Greta nofunberg
The current heat wave is being relentlessly blamed on increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but there is a much more plausible explanation, one that is virtually endorsed by two of the world’s leading scientific organizations. It turns out that levels of water vapor in the atmosphere have dramatically increased over the last year-and-a-half, and water vapor is well recognized as a greenhouse gas, whose heightened presence leads to higher temperatures, a mechanism that dwarfs any effect CO2 may have.
So, why has atmospheric water vapor increased so dramatically? Because of a historic, gigantic volcanic eruption last year that I – probably along with you — had never heard of

Mysterious Company Pays Nearly $1 Billion for Land Near US Air Force Base, Power Grid
A mystery company’s purchase of large swaths of land near a United States Air Force base and key locations along the West Coast’s electrical grid has raised red flags about national security.
U.S. Rep. John Garamendi (D-Calif.), the ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee readiness panel, wants to find out more about the buyer, Flannery Associates LLC.
The LLC is registered in Delaware but based in Folsom, California, where it lists a P.O. Box as its address at a mailbox rental center. Its employees are listed as based in the Southern California city of Glendale.
“They have surrounded one of the most important air bases on the West Coast,” Mr. Garamendi told NewsNation in an interview. “If anything happened in the Pacific with China, this base would be the way in which the U.S. Air Force and military would transit across the Pacific.”
Flannery has invested about $800 million in about 55,000 acres of land surrounding the Travis Air Force Base since 2018, according to public records.

The DOJ is trying to arrest Devon Archer ahead of his bombshell testimony Monday about Joe Biden’s involvement in his son Hunter’s Ukraine business when he was VP. US attorney in the SDNY Damian Williams issued a menacing letter yesterday – Saturday – telling Judge Abrams to order Archer to go to jail immediately to serve a one year sentence for his fraud conviction.

They are Counter demonstrators who make life rather frustrating for the Anarchists in our midst.
These were the guys who joined the ‘JUST STOP OIL’ crew in the UK. Found out where they were plotting their next gig whether it was gluing themselves to artworks of the tarmac or spreading orange powder on cricket pitches of billiard tables during international matches etc.
Having discovered their ‘lair’ in a church with a VERY high roof they smuggled into the vestry two tanks of helium and multiple bunches of balloons plus several emergency outdoor strength sirens and once the meeting got underway released the balloons.
The sirens were activated as well as they slowly rose to the vaulted ceilings making a terrible noise. The poor
socialist luvvies tried to climb a ladder but their spatial appreciation and they seemed unable to understand why their ladders only reached half way up the tall walls. Even so one of their number climbed the ladder and when he got to the top couldn’t handle the fact that he was STILL a long way short of the ceiling. He looked totally confused!
In the end the sirens were so loud that the ‘socialist lovies’ had to retreat outside and their plotting had to be postponed!

The Burisma executive who gave the Department of Justice its information on Hunter Biden has been identified by officials in Kyiv as the body floating in the River Ukraine.
The problem with that is that the deceased, Serjerei Sanduskovich, is supposed to be serving a 10-year sentence in the country’s Muscovan Correction Facility, also known as “The Vault.”
“There is no way out of The Vault,” said Ukrainian Security Minister Joe Barron, “we can only assume that Sanmduskovich was removed by bad actors and executed.”
The former executive provided more than 200 pages of sworn testimony against Hunter Biden in order to receive a reduced sentence. The family has asked for privacy during this difficult time.

The ugly truth behind climate alarmism is that much of it is driven by a radical ideological agenda that is seeking to transform the global economy and American society, not by science. The best way to fight back against it is to use cold, hard facts.
I just can’t bring myself to agree. We passed logic and common sense ages ago. We also passed argument a decade ago and no level of proof will change the Socialist Left’s opinions. We are donkey deep into THEOLOGY here. Forget proof. Forget trying to argue and come to a logical resolution. This is a quasi-religion called Greenism or Gaia worship that has replaces actual religion with the hard secular Left with a dose of neo-paganism complete with Moloch sacrifices!

@ coldwarrior:
Into the Day #5 of the Fifth and last Test Match for the Ashes. Actually the Aussies hold the urn and the Brits can only win two so a tie would mean that the holders get to keep the prize a bit longer!
Meanwhile this little ditty :-
Never trust a cricketer!!!
This was written by a cricketer’s wife in fun – New Zealand’s greatest all-rounder, the late Martin Crowe’s wife, Lorraine Downes. Apparently, she had a great sense of humour and to be a wife of a cricketer, you must’ve an even bigger sense of humour and understanding. So here it goes….
Come all ye fair young maidens,
harken unto me,
Never trust a cricketer,
whoever he may be.
Randier than a sailor
who’s been six months at sea,
Never let a cricketer’s hand
an inch above your knee.
First let’s take the paceman,
pure speed from first to last,
My darlings do be careful;
his balls are hard and fast.
Then there’s the medium pacer,
his balls swing either way;
He’s really most persistent
and can keep it up all day!
Watch out for the off-spinner girls,
another awkward chap.
If you leave him half an opening
he will slip one through the gap!
Then there’s the wily ‘slowy’,
pure cunning is his strength;
He’ll tempt you,
then he’ll trap you with his very subtle length.
So ladies, do be careful,
your mothers would agree.
Never trust a cricketer,
whoever he may be.
And what about the opening bat,
his struggles never cease!
He has only one ambition,
to spend all day at the crease.
The number three is a dasher,
he seldom prods and pokes.
When he goes into action,
he has a fine array of strokes..
And do beware the slogger,
not content with one or two;
When he arrives at the crease
then only six will do.
Then there’s the real stonewaller.
Girls! he knows what he’s about;
And if you let him settle in,
it’s hard to get him out!
We come now to the last man,
I hope this will not shock,
He doesn’t mind if he’s last man in,
as long as he gets a knock.
So, darlings, do be careful,
and be well warned by me:
Never trust a cricketer,
whoever he may be.
And watch the wicketkeeper.
Girls! he’s full of flair and dash;
And if you raise your heel,
he’ll whip them off in a flash.
If you take the field with the capt’n,
you had better know the score;
Or he’ll have you in positions
that you never knew before!
The cricket commentator
is a nasty sort of bloke,
He watches all the action
and describes it stroke by stroke.
Even the kindly umpire,
who looks as friendly as a pup.
You’ll quickly find you’ve had it,
when he puts his finger up!
So, darlings, please remember
and repeat it after me:
“NEVER TRUST A CRICKETER, WHOEVER HE MAY BE!!!!!”
