[Looking at the increasing number of stores with empty shelves and long lines of customers waiting to buy what’s left, we are told by Biden’s lackies that all this signifies another administration success as a sign of a booming economy where the people are exhibiting their ample ‘buying power’ that outpaces the nation’s ability to manufacture enough goods.  The same arguments were made in the USSR when newsreels showed Russians standing in long lines waiting to get into stores with empty shelves.  gjr]

    “Fully Vaccinated Former SecState Colin Powell Dies From COVID Complications”
    C’est la mort. It’s really just a statistics game after all, which is the real heart of epidemiology.
    Obviously the preventative shots don’t provide 100% immunity at 0% risk. Masks don’t provide 100% safety. Some masks are a helluva lot better than others if worn correctly. etc. etc.
    Of course, the amazing part about the whole situation is that (a) the government lies or is silent about what works, where it came from, where people got it, etc. and (b) the main stream media is in complete cahoots with the government. You can’t even use these people for understanding since they’re not always wrong. The last year and a half is filled with falsehoods, half-truths, truths, things invented from whole cloth.
    Just more reasons to build up your independence from others. I suppose that the hardcore homesteader types are looking a lot smarter anymore so long as you can use the few truly useful ties to mass humanity like the emergency room.

    That led me to this
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2021/06/04/california-math-class-detrack-race-equity/
    “Advocates for the new California math guidelines say “de-tracking,” or mixing together students of varying academic performance, can help all students, particularly those who would have languished in lower-level classes. It can also unravel racial segregation inside schools. Almost everywhere, White and Asian American students are more likely to be placed in higher tracks, with Black and Latino students more likely to be placed in lower tracks.”
    What possible good does it do for high functioning students to be condemned to a class with poorly behaved or unintelligent people? I don’t care whether the whole class looks alike or not.
    Anyone with a shred of sense is looking outside of public schools for K-12 at this point in time.

    SCOTUS says qualified immunity is not going anywhere on the federal level in a surprising unanimous decision. –
    The Supreme Court dealt a blow to police reform in two unanimous decisions on Monday shielding officers from lawsuits accusing them of illegal brutality. Both rulings endorse a nearly insurmountable version of qualified immunity, the doctrine that protects police and other state officials from suit, raising the bar even higher for victims of unconstitutional conduct. The rulings are a major setback for the campaign to rein in qualified immunity

    “The U.S. supply chain crisis has affected Americans of all stripes, despite White House chief of staff Ron Klain endorsing the message that it and inflation are “high class problems.” Yet, Buttigieg told CNN on Sunday that the reason the supply chain is dealing with backlogs is because demand and income are up under Biden.
    “Demand is up,” Buttigieg said, “because income is up, because the president has successfully guided this economy out of the teeth of a terrifying recession.””

    Maricopa County’s Board of Supervisors has filed a notice of claim against the Arizona Senate in pursuit of a $2,833,220.00 settlement from the Senate to cover the cost of replacement voting machines.
    In May, Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs claimed that the voting machines were tampered with and no longer safe to use and urged the County to buy new ones.
    This made it clear that these machines were never safe to use in the first place.
    Senate President Karen Fann responded to these claims, telling them that if they cannot run the same L&A tests, then the machines were never valid.
    If the machines cannot undergo a full forensic audit, then they should have never been used in the first place.
    The County Supervisors then threw another $3 MILLION of tax dollars away on new fraudulent voting machines.
    They know that the machines were not tampered with during this fully transparent, 24/7 live-streamed full forensic audit but they are doing everything possible to discredit the process.

    “U.S. coal-fired power generation is projected to increase this year for the first time since 2014, the federal government said in a report Monday.
    The amount of electricity produced by coal plants is expected to tick up 22% in 2021, reversing coal’s six-year downward trend, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). The increase in coal-fired power is due to increased prices of natural gas, which overtook coal as the largest producer of electricity in the U.S. in 2016.”
    The death of coal has been greatly exaggerated.

    The ponytail of ignorance likely ignored this –
    Democrats have virtually no room for error in 2022. Republicans need to flip only five seats in the House to recapture control of the lower chamber, and they stand to benefit right off the bat from redistricting in key states and the historical maxim that the party of a new president tends to lose ground in midterm elections.
    Biden’s job approval ratings have continued to crash — most recently to an all-time low of 36.4 percent — as he faces backlash over his botched Afghanistan withdrawal, rising crime, an immigration crisis, and now a supply chain crisis and rampant inflation.
    Additionally, 47 percent of registered voters said they would rather see the Republican Party win control of the House, while only 44 percent of the registered voters said they would want the Democrats, according to an October Quinnipiac University poll.

    The mean no interest from our loyal lapdogs –
    The controversy spurred America First Legal to submit an expedited request seeking information from the DOJ, hoping to uncover the department’s motivation for the effort and if it had coordinated with potential political allies of the administration, such as the National School Boards Association.
    But that request was denied by the DOJ and other divisions within the department, including the criminal division, Executive Office for United States Attorneys and the Office of Legal Counsel. Among the reasons cited for denying the expedited request, the DOJ argued that the issue is “not a matter of widespread media interest.”
    Lawyers for American First Legal told Fox News that the decision to deny the request was concerning, raising fears that the decision had political motivations.
    The lawyers raised a number of concerns about the Oct 4. memo, arguing that the DOJ failed to define exactly what constituted “harassment or intimidation.” They also pointed to the DOJ’s lack of citations to support the claim that there has been a rise in crime and harassment against school officials, an omission they said was “unusual” and should be common for the department when issuing such a memo.

    Don @ 6:38 pm. If nothing else, Quinnipiac University Polls seems to shade to the lefty side.
    Polls are getting boring. They seem to be all going in the same direction for the D’s and seems to be going in the opposite direction for the R’s. 46% for recall in Nevada County ain’t bad.
    Read a poll the other day that had Biden at 50%-50%, thumbs up and thumbs down. However, the issue polling as you mentioned above (his botched Afghanistan withdrawal, rising crime, an immigration crisis) was brutal for the Dems where the policies matters most and which ones matter most to folks.
    Then moi saw the poll was from August, lol. With Afghanistan drifting from people’s minds and “now a supply chain crisis and rampant inflation” comes on in with a vengeance. Buy toiletries now and beat the rush to half empty shelves. Publishers can’t even get books out that are ready to print by Thanksgiving, Christmas because labor. Use baking soda for tooth paste, laundry, and deodorant when the time comes. :).
    I just can’t see Biden fixing inflation,, rising crime, high energy prices from the home to the pump, or the immigration crisis in the near term or within a couple of years. Sure, the Dems idea of an immigration crisis is some illegals have been turned away. The supply chain bottleneck may last in 2023 once you delve into the chain reactions. Like sitting in traffic for 20-30 minutes because there is some fender bender on a off-ramp miles ahead. Backs up quick and slows way down.
    Getting out 80,000 more containers at San Pedro or Long Beach ain’t going to cut it. There are hundreds of thousands of containers off shore and the cargo ships need to wait for the containers to be brought back cause they ain’t going back to the Orient empty. Trucking industry needs 100,000 drivers now…..for months.

    Looks like foot in the mouth mcauliffe is hearing the footsteps closing in on him –
    During the interview with McAuliffe, Minock began by pressing him on his controversial remarks at last month’s gubernatorial debate where he said “I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.”
    “So are you saying parents shouldn’t have a voice in their kids’ education?” Minock asked.
    “Sure, parents should have a voice. And parents do have a voice,” McAuliffe responded, before pointing to his record as governor of eliminating standards of learning exams parents had complained about, listing campaign promises on improving education in Virginia and attempting to tie Youngkin to former President Trump and former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos.
    “So, did you misspeak during that debate?” Minock followed.
    No!” McAuliffe quickly responded. I was talking about what we need to do, bringing people together. We have the state boards, we have the Board of Education and we have the local school boards who are all involved in this process. But the issue is how do we deliver a world class education.”
    Minock asked McAuliffe that if his administration would “issue mandates” telling schools what and how they should teach, to which McAuliffe punted to the State Board to decide before attacking Youngkin for using a “racist dog whistle” responding to the Republican’s call to ban critical race theory.
    “He’s talking about issues that don’t even exist in Virginia and we’ve got to move past that,” McAuliffe said.
    Minock then inquired whether McAuliffe agreed with the memo from the Biden DOJ suggesting future involvement in cases between parents and school boards. McAuliffe dismissed concerns, saying the DOJ will “make their own decisions.”
    The reporter moved on to grill McAuliffe’s record on crime and how much he would invest in public safety. Shortly after, McAuliffe staffer can be heard interrupting off-screen attempting to wrap up the interview.
    Minock went on to ask the Democrat about his support for vaccine mandates for state employees as well as for children in schools.
    “Alright, Nick. We are already over time,” the McAuliffe aide told the reporter.
    “Alright, we are over. That’s it. That’s it,” McAuliffe said as he stood up from the chair and began walking off-camera. “Hey, I gave you extra time. C’mon man.”
    “You should have asked better questions early on. You should have asked questions your viewers care about,” McAuliffe added.
    “Well, we did,” Minock responded.

    That’s some governor you gots there in CA.
    “Newsom’s order directs state agencies to “identify additional ways to alleviate congestion at California ports”; to “continue coordinating with the Biden-Harris Administration Supply Chain Disruptions Task Force”; and to consider long-term plans for better storage, transportation, and skills training. It also directs state agencies to “identify priority freight routes to be considered for a temporary exemption to current gross vehicle limits to allow for trucks to carry additional goods.””
    Ah – they’ll “consider” long-term plans…
    I can hardly think of a weaker response to a current and growing problem than that. But I’m sure the swells in Sacta-tomatoes are working on it.
    And
    “…identify priority freight routes to be considered for a temporary exemption to current gross vehicle limits to allow for trucks to carry additional goods.”
    Hilarious – maybe if trucks could wander around Rodeo Drive we could get past this.
    I’m so glad they are going to co-ordinate with Biden and Harris. Maybe they can ‘do lunch’.

    Don – That ‘passive’ transphobia will get you every time!
    So – is ‘overt’ transphobia okie-dokie?
    A ‘phobia’ is a ‘fear-of’. I don’t fear ‘trans’ folk.
    What the heck is there to fear? They might flounce in a violent way?
    Oh, my!
