[President Bumblebrain rushed up to Buffalo today to make some political hay out of the latest killing spree by a deranged shooter who claims to be a leftwinger, and is accused by the lamestream as being a “white supremacist” rightwinger. In his speech to the nation our fearless leader’s pabulum included, “I promise you, hate will not prevail.” What his adoring legions don’t understand is that hate doesn’t have to prevail. Delivering occasional massacres here and there, hate can just keep boiling along at the current rate, as long as the killers know that wherever they decide to open fire, they will be the only ones with a gun. gjr]

Paul, by its aerosol nature, we will never be over. We just learn to live with it. A year ago, the great hullabaloo was over the unvaccinated showing up at the ERs and being the cause of the spread. Dirsapropately high among the unvqxxed.
Now it’s the vaxxed that are making up 68% of the hospitalizations. The magic vax, the silver bullet, the miracle shot has yet to appear. The immunity from shots appears to have a short shelf life. Nationally, the people of these United States of America decided to just live with the Plague. Moving on. What it mutates into next will soon be all over the airwaves, pun not intended. And you will be asking, “What should we do?”
Even the Holy St.Fauci said SARS will never be eliminated, never not rear it’s head again. I know, Biden ran on the promise to win the war against COVID, complete victory and annihilation of the cursed Plague of Death. Influenza seasons come and go and come and go and come.
Still after all what we have been through, it’s still a virus that is most fatal to the elderly and those with preconditions and the obese. 2022 ain’t 2021. What, CA had 4 deaths today? None in our surrounding counties.
We have finally flattened the curve. Odd, it appears the more one is vaxxed and boosted, the more likely it is to catch the Plague of Death again.

. Yes, it’s the evil ZeroHedge. Question. At what point did the Time Magazines and NYTs of the world go all-in on being partisan rags for the DNC? Has it always been true? The political scaffolding that makes up their editorial policy pre-dates Trump as he ran into a solid front first thing.
. You do have to wonder what Twitter HQ is going to look like if Musk goes through with the acquisition. My guess is that it’ll look like the Saigon US embassy in 1975. Lots and lots of burning memos, erasing of records, scurrying around to destroy backups of internal emails. The drama is almost worth $40B+ by itself.

re: baby formula.
I just assumed that given JIT delivery at all stages and the tendency of people to buy-a-little-extra if there’s a shortage in the air, it doesn’t take much. Some precursor material or a health scare in the supply chain and, boom!, no babyformula. Extra bonus points for the tendency to centralize production and distribution into fewer and fewer companies.
While I wouldn’t mansplain some chestfeeding person into using their, well, chest, it would surprise me if you couldn’t put together a perfectly good (or better) homemade version. It’s funny how attached people get to a type or, more importantly, a brand of product.
Of course, I’ll only use Quilted Northern due to my own unique butt topology.

re: Musk, Elon
Trying to buy Twitter and veer it away from a propaganda arm of the DNC sure is causing an uproar. Up until now he’s been pretty bulletproof, but as the new Trump he’ll become The Enemy of the Blue People. As a South African, no doubt he favored apartheid and used to beat the maid for being late with the tea.
The tricky thing with Crazytown is that you’ll never convince them of anything, regardless of the previous 10k years of experience in some matters, so it’s just best to avoid them. Musk probably needs to give his Mars plans a bit more oomph as the thing he’d leave behind is losing it’s mind.

Gentlemen – you youngsters have no idea that almost all mothers made their own baby formulas through the 1960s with the main ingredients being condensed milk, corn syrup, and water. The pain in the butt was sterilizing the bottles and nipples. That’s why store-bought formulas became the rage when their price came down from applying all those economies of scale. Bottom line, there should be no screeching and wailing across the land from women with starving babies.

I’m grew up a can of condensed milk at the ready. From baking to emergency watered down yucky slim milk for the Corn flakes, every matriarchal cabinet should have a can of condensed milk in the cupboard collecting dust for emergencies just like what is going down now.

Elongate: its not only Elon wrestling away the DNC controlled Twitter, it’s better than that. He is exposing the depths of the lies, corruption, depravity, and wickedness that lurks in their collective souls. The corruption alone stinks to high heaven. Elon is making it so there is no where to hide, the escape routes are all boxed in. He is smoking them out into the barren open. He seems to take a particular interest in the Russiagate actors and Twiiters big role that played. And Durham is hitting them on the other side by exposing them for all to see.
Many have said for some years now that Russiagate, Spygate, Hillary’s E-Mailgate could have never happened without a willing and eager participant in the media. Twitter, as small as it is domestically, is the preferred go-to platform to create, then spin, the narrative.
Couldn’t have done it without Twitter and they and the not so invisible hand liked it that way. Some folks just don’t do change well, I reckon.

‘Forcing 1 Million Escaped Students Back to the Public School Plantation’
Those kids mean money in the bank for teachers’ unions and Democrats.
“Otherwise how are you gonna keep ‘em down on the farm now that they’re seen what a functioning educational system that puts math and science ahead of wokeness looks like?
In the face of parental revolts over efforts to bring graphic sex, racism, and sexual identity grooming into classrooms, Dems could give parents greater control over school curriculums.
Instead they’re trying to destroy any alternative to the system whose teachers fund their party.
Last week, minority parents protested outside the White House against Biden’s new war on charter schools. Even while the media eagerly covered every pro-abortion activist wearing a handmaid costume, 1,000 parents rallying at the White House received virtually no coverage.
Why are minority charter school parents upset?
The Biden administration’s assault on charter schools comes by way of rules which, much like the CDC’s school reopening regulations, were likely written with a great deal of input from the UFT and teachers’ unions, are meant to cut off alternatives to the failed public school system.
After attacking school choice and now charter schools, all that’s left is homeschooling, and educrats have been pushing for “reforms” to crack down or eliminate that option entirely.“

For your reading pleasure:
“President Biden’s approval rating has plummeted to its lowest point of his presidency, according to a new poll released Friday.
The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Research poll shows just 39% of U.S. adults approve of the president’s job performance.
In addition, the polls found just roughly two in 10 adults say the country is headed in the right direction or that the economy is good. Both figures are down from roughly three in 10 adults last month.
The poll was conducted May 12-16 among 1,172 U.S. adults with a sampling error of 4 percentage points.
Even among Democrats, just 33% of members of the president’s party said the country is headed in the right direction, compared to 49% in April.
The results of the poll reflects a widespread sense of pessimism over such so-called kitchen table issues as inflation, including record gas prices and the sudden shortage of baby formula, amid further concerns about attempts to cool the economy resulting in a recession.
A plurality of Democrats (44%) say the president’s policies have made no difference to the economy, and 37% say they’ve done more to help than hurt, though that figure is down from 45% last month.
On the whole, 51% of Americans say the administration’s policies have done more to hurt the economy that help it.
Regarding the U.S. borders, the poll shows that just 38% of Americans are pleased with Biden’s handling of immigration and 21% say they have a “great deal of confidence” in the president’s ongoing ability to handle the war in Ukraine; 39% say they have some degree of confidence, and 39% say they have hardly any.”
Exactly like Biden to set records. Longest slide in the stock market since 1932, highest inflation in 40 years, every single day sets a new record for gas prices. To cap it off, Biden is now losing Democrats which accounts for his continuous fall into the tunnel of no return.

Fools gold –
In Sacramento, officials said California’s grid could face a potential shortfall of roughly 1,700 megawatts, which would affect the power supply of between 1 million and 4 million people this summer. That number would likely be exacerbated by an additional shortfall of 5,000 megawatts in the case of extreme heat and further fire damage to existing power lines.
“Let’s say we were to have a substantial number of [electric] vehicles charging at home as everybody dreams,” Ram Rajagopal, an associate professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University, who authored a recent study looking at the strain electric vehicle adoption is expected to place on the power grid, told Yahoo Finance. “Today’s grid may not be able to support it. It all boils down to: Are you charging during the time solar power is on?”
The alert in the nation’s most populous state highlighted the delicate dance utility companies face in managing warming temperatures with tightening energy supply as the country moves rapidly away from fossil fuel generation to meet ambitious targets aimed at drastically reducing emissions.
California has set out to become a leader in the green transition, aiming to rid its electrical grid of all carbon sources by 2045
Globally, the number of electric vehicles is expected to swell from 7 million to 400 million by 2040. The transition to zero-emission cars is estimated to add 2,000 TWh to annual energy demand by 2050 — a 40% increase — according to a study by global advisory group ICF.
“The use of an electric vehicle is like adding one or two air conditioners to your residence in terms of its energy increase,” Mike Jacobs, Senior Energy Analyst at Union of Concerned Scientists, told Yahoo Finance. “So when the local utility engineer looks at this, he thinks of that air conditioning in the afternoon and the electric vehicle coming home at the same time.”

re: BillT@9:18PM
Good article.
To me, the issue left hanging is one of prediction.
Is the current situation simply a cyclical drama that has been performed ever since Gilgamesh? or is there something new in the air due to technology (increasingly perfect social control and surveillance vs. better/faster mob organization) and overcrowding that has hit the limits of the planet?

Nice.
“Further, in egregious circumstances and via coordination withlocal and state authorities, we ask that the Army National Guard and its Military Police be deployed to certain school districts and related events where students and school personnel have been subjected to acts and threats of violence.”
Maybe the National Association of Activist Election Officials have a similar draft.
I’ll pledge to send a bit of commissary money to the local Republicans. I hear the ramen is delicious.

I think it gives J. Biden a bit too much credit for philosophical thinking, the gormlessness is strong with this one . He’s simply a life-long pol with a taste for the main chance.

Well the heck is the Musk post? While Elon Mania and The Maniacs subsides a teeny bit, I feel we should Elongate the topic. Ain’t ready to move on. Maybe tomorrow, but not this lovely morn.
‘The left targets Elon Musk because he won’t conform to liberal orthodoxy’
“Ever since Musk announced his intention to buy Twitter, he has faced a barrage of serious attacks.
A hit piece in The New York Times this month sought to tie Musk to apartheid in South Africa, despite Musk having left the country when he was a teenager. The Times got one expert to contend that the country’s lack of “a free exchange of ideas” protected South Africans from “the violent consequences of misinformation.” When you’ve reached the point of arguing that South Africa’s censorship was actually good, you may have gone too far.
Joy Reid, who regularly says crazy things on TV as host of MSNBC’s “The ReidOut,” hit a similar line, saying that Musk “misses the old South Africa in the ’80’s and wants that back.”
Now there’s a story out about an old sexual-harassment allegation, brought forth not by the alleged accuser but by a friend who claims to have knowledge of the harassment. Musk categorically denies the incident took place. He tweeted, “The attacks against me should be viewed through a political lens — this is their standard (despicable) playbook — but nothing will deter me from fighting for a good future and your right to free speech.”
Everyone knows it won’t stop there. Musk has done something unacceptable to the left and its media friends, and they will now seek to punish him.“

GR: “Gentlemen – you youngsters have no idea that almost all mothers made their own baby formulas through the 1960s with the main ingredients being condensed milk, corn syrup, and water.’”
I got minorly interested in the world of Big Formula. What a funny sort of product. Judging from Amazon, it’s basically an industrial food powder, made from cheap materials, that they charge $1-2/oz (!!!) for. Nice work if you can get it.
Most of the formulas seems to consist of some powdered milk variant, a whole bunch of corn syrup, (usually) some soy stuff and cheap oils, a handful of minerals sprinkled in. Somebody should just sell the vitamin/mineral part and let the baby owner do the rest if they are Avoiding the Breast for some reason.
I have to wonder whether all the sugar is strictly necessary or if it’s there to make the stuff more palatable to the buyer.
Hang on, I just ran into one that has ‘Organic Brown Rice Syrup’ as the top ingredient. The dreadlock wearin’ must be a prime customer here.

I see we still have one thriving American industry:

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/two-years-after-george-floyds-killing-big-tech-shareholders-continue-racial-justice-push-11653324711?mod=home-page
Idiot quote:
“Shareholders are urging Amazon.com Inc. AMZN, -0.03% and Meta Platforms Inc. FB, +1.39% to conduct racial-equity audits; explore the potential risks of the metaverse with respect to discrimination and civil-rights violations; examine a claim that Facebook is discriminating against employees deemed “non-diverse”; and more.”
‘…and more’!
Oh, boy!
Shareholders – all of them? A tenth of them? 3 of them?
“The numbers show that’s true: Shareholder resolutions calling for civil-rights and racial-equity audits reached a record number, 34, this proxy season, according to Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility, a shareholder-advocacy organization. ICCR said its more than 300 institutional-investor member organizations filed a record-breaking 485 resolutions, 105 of which are related to racial justice, which also is a record.”
More than THREE HUNDRED orgs!
This aint no cottage industry.
Damn! I shoulda gone into the ‘equity audits’ industry.
