Sandbox – 5dec22

[Much appreciation for the concern shown by commenters to our pace of Covid recovery.  We have discovered for ourselves that all the stories about how it drains you of energy, and the time it takes to get back to normal are true in spades.  We felt the symptoms and tested positive on 21 November and got over the low point three days later.  But since then it’s been a real drag – every chore that requires moving your butt drains you.  Yesterday morning we did a big grocery shopping which laid us low.  Afternoon nappy-poos are a must.  This morning I tried a turn on the treadmill at half speed; could only last 15 minutes.  But we do sense that day by day we’re getting better; if we could only pick up the pace a little.  gjr]

    Good news, Dr. Rebane!
    The question I have been wanting to ask you….waiting to ask you directly….. dying to ask you actually…. is with the lack of energy you have been experiencing in this current inclement weather is HOW in the Sam Hill did you manage to bring in the firewood….the one job you actually have to do. A lesser man would have have absconded his duties. A lesser man would have sent his lovely bride with a bad elbow out into the cold dark night in her slippers to bring in the organic firewood in. H/T to you, sir.
    Grandpa still has it!
    Oh, BTW, I looked at the clock the other morning. It was only 9:45 am and I had only been up for a couple of hours. I felt I needed to lay down and told myself that it is too early for nappy-poo time. That thought was quickly supplanted with an overriding thought. “Screw that, anytime is nappy-poo time . Where is it written in stone that you have to wait until the afternoon for a nappy-poo? Anytime is siesta time when the Wuhan Wonton Flu comes a’knocking. Chop Fluey.
    Like you, I ventured out yesterday out of necessity (empty cupboards and not just food insecurity, but hunger pains. I came back wiped out and it was nappy-poo time. I can’t imagine rising like Mr. fish to chop up a slab of meat into little pieces to make stew meat. Getting there, but ain’t there yet.
    Need someone to come over for fun and for free to bring a few armloads of firewood in? Don’t call me. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. :).

    from the Wash Post:
    “Rufai is not the only case of pandemic government fraud; the United States has spent more than $5 trillion on the pandemic — helping families and businesses. “But billions of dollars were stolen, and no one is sure, even now, exactly how much has disappeared,” the authors write.”
    The fraud is just normal government incompetence – who cares? But the $5T is a vast overspend for a not-so-terrible of a pandemic. I don’t believe that any of the “experts” even bothered to read the notes about the 1918 Spanish flu. Oops, sorry- the SARS-H0N0-18 virus. Mustn’t be disrespectful to the country of origin. That virology lab in Seville sure got off easy.
    Just think of the amount of ‘free’ money that we will print when we have a REAL epidemic that is more lethal. Can’t wait for the wet market in Harare to get the blame for that one.

    They cannot even spin well, the headline is refuted by the content. They say Trump had a lone from a N Korea related company. But, but, but the company is Dawoo industries the South Korean conglomerate that was allowed to do a little business in NK in the 1990’s. Oh and the loan was to one of the Trump companies for a NYC project.
    But we the ilk that will run with the headline without reading. Ponytail of ignorance in 3, 2
    Donald Trump failed to disclose a $19.8 million loan from a company with ties to North Korea while he was president, Forbes reported Sunday, citing documents uncovered by the New York attorney general’s office.
    The loan was paid off just over five months into his presidency. Forbes said the documents don’t specify who satisfied it.
    Trump may have skirted disclosure laws and not committed an outright violation because the loan was on the books of his company, the Trump Organization, and not identified as a personal loan, Forbes noted.

    LETS DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN with guest appearance by Linda Lovelace, star of longest running movie of all time.
    2) “SAVIOR OF THE REPUBLIC” IN THE SLAMMER
    “ABC recalls Avenatti’s salad days:
    For a time, the brash lawyer was a fixture on cable news shows and the topic of flattering magazine pieces. Reporters asked him about his skin-care routine and Tom Ford suits while he and Daniels posed for photographer Annie Leibovitz.
    Avenatti also briefly dipped his toe into the presidential candidacy pool, dining with potential donors and forming a political action group to accept donations.
    But Avenatti perpetrated theft of the worst kind:
    An indictment against Avenatti stated that he stole millions of dollars from clients after they received settlements in various cases. Those funds were supposed to only flow through Avenatti but stayed with him instead, according to prosecutors.
    One of the clients who said he was never paid was Geoffrey Johnson, who is paraplegic. Johnson won a $4 million settlement against Los Angeles County in 2015. Prosecutors said that money was paid to Avenatti but was never given to Johnson.
    This is such a crude crime that one wonders how Avenatti could possibly have hoped to get away with it. Likely he thought his Democratic Party connections would shield him. But the Democrats’ infatuation with a media star does not last beyond his or her useful life. Just ask Cindy Sheehan.“

    In his first year as mayor, Adams has been escalating his rhetoric against rats. . . “There’s NOTHING I hate more than rats,” Adams said in a statement posted on Twitter on Thursday. “If you have the drive, determination, and killer instinct needed to fight New York City’s relentless rat population — then your dream job awaits.””

    White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Monday called the decision [blocking the Hunter laptop story] a “distraction” and “old news”.
    Antifa? Old News. Summer of Love riots? Old News. Violent and dangerous mobs of mostly peaceful protestors setting ablaze the historic 200 year old St John’s Church near Lafayette Square and almost burning it down while throwing dangerous projectiles at the DC Police and setting ablaze the WH guard shack (on the WH grounds), forcing the President to be rushed to the bunker for his own safety?

    “Taking the Clinton administration approach to the Big Tech and liberal media censorship that, based on our poll after the 2020 election, gave Joe Biden the win, Jean-Pierre shamelessly engaged in censorship denialism by saying it was “interesting or a coincidence…that [Musk] would so haphazardly — Twitter would so haphazardly push this distraction that is a — that is a — full of old news, if you think about it.”
    Jean-Pierre then leveled the false claims about Musk and illustrated how the administration is indeed dead set on surveilling Musk:
    And at the same time, Twitter is facing very real and very serious questions about the rising volume of anger, hate, and anti-Semitism on their platform and how they’re letting it happen. And you know, the President said last week more leaders need to speak out and reject this and it’s a very alarming and very dangerous.
    Instead, she argued, Biden is focused on “helping…American families” and job creation since talking about censorship is (allegedly) “not healthy” and “won’t do anything to help a single American improve their lives.”
    Before this, Heinrich and her Fox colleague Edward Lawrence of Fox Business Network attempted to pin Jean-Pierre down on the border crisis as Biden will be spending Tuesday at a microchips factory in Arizona.
    Lawrence went first and wondered if Biden will “go to the border and see the situation for himself,” but Jean-Pierre wasn’t interested because Biden’s “trip tomorrow is about the American manufacturing boom we’re seeing all across the country thanks to, again, his economic policies” while seeing the border crisis would mean engaging in one of the “political stunts” Republicans have employed instead of acquiescing to Biden’s immigration proposals.

    I forgot to add I am against irreversible medical procedures of children under the legal age of consent and oppose the sterilization of children without their parents’ consent. The frontal lobes of the kids do not even fully develop until 22 years of age.
    Another reason I oppose the irreversible disfigurement and sterilization of children and adolescents is because is 90% of those minors who think/feel they are born in the wrong body (given the wrong biological body at birth) change their minds by the age of 21.
    The suicide rate of the transgender community is way too high. The suicide rate of transgender youth is way, way too high. BUT, research now shows that the suicide rate of minors who have gone through the gender therapy meds and knife (transition) is EVEN Higher that the suicide rate of transgender youth who have not undergone the transition.
    For an adult, that’s is none of by business. Whatever floats your boat. If you want to cut off your dick to make you feel like a woman, be my guest. I will loan ya my favorite pocket knife. If I slice of my pecker, that don’t make me a woman. It just makes be another dickless dude.

    The creepy grampa joe crime family is bought and paid for by the chi coms –
    The DOE announced in October that it would give the $200 million award to Microvast Holdings to build a battery separator facility in Tennessee, using funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. At the time, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said the grant would “supercharge the private sector to ensure our clean energy future is American-made.”
    While the DOE described Microvast as a “majority U.S.-owned company, traded on NASDAQ” and “headquartered in Stafford, Texas,” financial records show the company operates primarily out of China. Microvast itself says the Chinese government “exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities and may intervene, at any time and with no notice.” The company was also recently added to a Securities and Exchange Commission watchlist of Chinese companies that are on track to be delisted from NASDAQ for failing to comply with U.S. auditing requirements.
    The grant is also drawing calls for additional oversight from Congress. The infrastructure law, as written by lawmakers, states that the DOE should avoid funding projects that “use battery material supplied by or originating from a foreign entity of concern,” which includes companies “subject to the jurisdiction or direction” of China.

    Here’s the last part of the initial story of the Mohicans on wiki:
    “In the late twentieth century, the Mohican joined other former New York tribes, including the Oneida and some other Iroquois nations, in filing land claims against New York for what were considered unconstitutional purchases of their lands after the Revolutionary War. Only the federal government had constitutional authority to deal with the Indian nations. In 2010, outgoing governor David Paterson announced a land exchange with the Stockbridge-Munsee that would enable them to build a large casino on 330 acres (130 ha) in Sullivan County in the Catskills, as a settlement in exchange for dropping their larger claim in Madison County. The deal had many opponents.”
    Sound like a bunch of anti-govt types. The very idea that the democratically-elected govt would be challenged by some malcontents!
    Seems they were quickly bought off with a deal made with a handful of so-called leaders who raked in millions while their pitiful charges were left with bupkis. How are the average members of tribe doing financially now, vs the few who signed the deal with the governor?
    Most AmerIndians were a sorry deal. They sat on an actual gold mine of riches beyond anything else on earth for centuries but were too absorbed with fighting each other and torturing and enslaving their neighbors along with subjugating their squaws to be bothered with developing any kind of written language and scientific skills.
    They were a screaming 100 foot tall warning sign to us that we need to always be at the cutting edge of defense if we are to keep folks from across the waters at bay.

    What we have here constantly is Pubchy demanding that Gregory, Scott O, fish, and others RENOUNCE the Republicans in the correct way he demands….otherwise we agree with Trump 100% and because someone won’t take the bait, that is PROOF that we really are Putin loving White Supremists Nazi followers whose only desire is to gather y’all up and march all you Lefties off to the gulag with our goose stepping Deplorables leading the procession.
    So, I am demanding that you Lefties DENOUNCE child and sex trafficking by illegal criminal aliens crossing our border. Denounce it in the terms I lay out or….or….or…that means you are FOR sex trafficking children, support pedophilia, enslaving women, and bringing in Fentanyl which is killing 50k- 100,00 Americans a year, mostly folks aged 18-45. So, you support that because you DO NOT condemn it in the way I (me, me, me, me) DEMAND you to.
    We all know the difference between a demand and a request. The difference between critical thinking and nuances on complex issues and Black and White thinking. I demand you condemn certain things or…or….or….connecting the dots….or you support hideous things! Your silence is violence and you’re killing people.
    Silly me, I thought what was good for the goose was good for the gander. Just joking. It’s always a one way street. Just because I do not like ham sandwiches does not mean I need to condemn ham sandwiches and dox those who do.
    So, how does it taste? Kinda makes me look dangerous, doesn’t it.
    I know you can’t condemn anything on the Party talking points. Some of you will lose your jobs, or prestige and privileges if you did.
    It is also an unreasonable request for me to feel the way you do on any given subject….be it my dog dying or my outrage against erasing women. I do have a sister who once was a up respected Feminist author and Cal State Long Beach Feminist Study associate professor….until the day she said she does not hate all men and would love to raise a child.
    She was driven out of town on a rail, fired, and ostracized. There was no place in the Feminist Movement for someone who wanted a loving husband and to be a mother back then. No place for a non-man hater. No quarter for that kind of evil thoughts. “Abort it! You are a traitor to the Sisterhood!” You must seek a career and have unfulfilling casual sex, you troll of the patriarchy!” they screamed at her. “You don’t need a man! You must be driven my hate and career and independence.”
    When she pointed out that the Feminist Movement was based on women’s strength and independence to chart their own course in life and follow what they want to do and become….and going what she, as an liberated independent WANTED to do, well….that went out the window because she….well, she became independent of the Woman’s Liberation Movement. She was liberated from Group Think and she could not condemn her little brother or live of her life in the exact words they demanded her to. Hear, hear.
    The Transgender Movement results in erasing women. They are called birthing people. Men can get pregnant? Well, there is a hell of a lot more organs and parts in giving birth than just having a vagina.
    And there is a hell of a lot more to a woman that a man can never possess or imitate. Ever. There is a mystic about a woman that is awe inspiring and evolves adoration and breath taking awe and mystic that makes up the fairer sex. The way their voice sounds like a bubbling Brooke, the way their hair bounces off the side of their heads, the way of a ship in the sea crossing a distant sunset…..there is a mystic that a wig and makeup can never replicate…..and the way of a young maiden with a child is beyond that I am capable of describing.
    The Big Lie is no matter what cosmetic surgery is preformed, not matter what puberty blockers and hormone therapy is dispensed, I will never be a woman and capture the way of a sailing ship on the sea at sunset. Never. The Big Lie peddled to young boys and girls is they can be one the opposite sex. And that is the big letdown, the promise that cannot be fulfilled for the kids.
    And to demand that I validate how ANOTHER sees themselves via pronouns..maybe, maybe not depending on my mood or the person on a one-to-one.
    Not one of us can truly see ourselves as others see us, myself included. But now I am a homophobe or misogynistic bigot if I do not valid how someone else sees themselves? You demand what? How about y’all valid how I see myself? Go kick gravel.
    That is just my opinion.

    Buffalo Bison.
    Concerning the UC Berkeley professor and the Last of the Mohicans, both and you seem to be confusing the Mohawks with the Mohicans of the 1600s. Yes, follow the early tribes, the names the Dutch called them, the tribal fracturing into subsets (splintering tribes off the Mohawks (a British English pronounciation) of the tribe, the joining together of two tribes, the move/migration from the upper NE America-Canada to Wisconsin, spelling changes and yes, yes, yes, you have the Mohicans of today in WI.
    My point is there was no native tribe known as the Mohicans when the Last of the Mohicans was written. The Mohicans then did not exist or ever did as such as a Native American tribe….it was a compilation of Native Tribes….like the movie ‘Patriot’ starring Mel Gibson was a compilation of Revolutionary War skirmishes, battles, and characters.
    The Mohawks splintered and one fraction then mixed (joined) with another tribe and over time you have what is now called The Mohicans.
    But, Buffalo Bison, I will say whatever you say is correct because this particular hill is not worth defending.
    FYI. Get this Buffalo Bison: I knew Gerry and her husband Bud for many years when I first settled down permanent like here in Nevada County. Gerry was the mother of Norton Buffalo, a member of the Steve Miller band before he went solo.
    Anyway, Norton Buffalo was coming to town to do a gig at the ‘St Joesph’s Cultural Center in GV where the old NCTV or GVTV (?) was. After the performance, a nice local young lady came up to Gerry and introduced herself.
    The young woman said, “I hear you are Norton’s mother. Is his name really Buffalo?” Gerry replied, “No, it’s Bison.” Funny sharp wit Norton Buffalo’s mom had.
    No, his real name is not Norton Buffalo. It’s Norton Bison. Later, Buffalo Bob. Say it, don’t spray it. 🙂

    Bill 7:16 – Great rant! Good to get it off your chest. It’s the constant hypocrisy. All movements, causes, etc have their hypocrites, but the left is ALL about hypocrisy. It thrives on it. Don’t have a Gulf Stream V to jet to the next global warming conference? Well – it’s clear YOU don’t care about climate change!
    It just goes on and on with every topic the left brings up.
    Paul Emery is such a perfect example.
    He claims that Trump has stolen money from people and provides no proof, but when I point out that possibly some folks have claimed that Paul has stolen money, holey cow, THAT’S different!
    Pounds the table! I want proof! I want names!
    Give me the links!
    Did Paul want proof from Reid when he lied and claimed that Romney hadn’t paid taxes he owed?
    Of course not. Paul thinks smearing honest folk is Okie Dokie when it’s HIS side.
    Look at all the crap he posted about Trump. What fun! Let’s lie about people we don’t like and abuse them. Can you imagine if Trump said the same exact things about Paul?
    Oh yes – That’s different.
    No – it’s not.
    The left can dish it out 24/7 but don’t you ever, ever, ever criticize them for one moment about anything.

    Whether Herschel wins or loses, I got myself a great finely crafted camo ball cap. Herschel for Senate. Discret. Not like my first generation Orginal very well made MAGA cap. My old genetic cheap caps are all getting dirty, (except the Orginal MAGA cap I never wear to keep in mint condition, so a new cap is just what I needed. Never had a camo ball cap before and it looks marvelous.
    A winner every time.

    Warnock can be expected to do what he’s told by his party’s bosses.

    The long-term rot is showing the truth about vlads misadventure, if they had oame at us it would absolutely have gone to nukes as they would be getting their ass kicked worse than now.
    According to Koffler, the problem Russia now faces can be traced back to the military’s transition from the Soviet-era, pointing out that Yudashkin actually used to be a designer for former Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev’s wife Raisa Gorbacheva.
    “Russian soldiers dying from hyperthermia in winter is nothing new,” Koffler said. “Unlike the Soviet Army uniforms that were designed for severe Russian winters, modern Russian military uniform is not optimized for freezing temperatures.”
    Instead, the 1994 rebranding of the Russian military caused “dismay” among the troops, with designs that “prioritized style and low cost rather than pragmatism and functionality.”
    “Instead of using natural textiles like cotton, linen, and heavy and coarse wool, synthetic materials were used, which kept the soldiers cold in winter and hot in summer,” Koffler said. “Bulky and baggy style was replaced with fitted styles. Traditional Russian footwear made of felt, valenki, which was worn by military and civilians for hundreds of years was banned by the post-Soviet military leadership.”
    The winter conditions could also be hindering Russia’s ability to use drones the country’s military recently purchased from Iran, with The Express reporting Monday that Russia has stopped deploying the Iranian-built Shahed-136 drone in Ukraine because the parts are inadequate to function in the winter temperatures

    I did not bother to post all the stuff about who the players are in the company who actually owns the Historic Ebenezer Baptist Church, spiritual home of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King.
    Bottomline. All big pushers of CRT. It’s a business. Just because it’s senior pastor and slum lord is one of the partners of the ownership…..well, it’s a nice business. Loved how they were going to evict a Vietnam Vet over $37 or $67 bucks behind in his rent boot his ass out….until the light was shone that way by those misinformation spewing urban street gorilla conservatives with cell phones. After the cat got out of the bag, the Company quickly said they would not kick the man out….silly…..where you hear that fake news…..and will now let him pay the next months rent and accept his 37 dollars and….
    CRT, WOKE, SOROS, usual thugs….smooth operators…….and who said the runoff system was a racist construct from the prior days to keep a black man from winning.
    The WOKE is right! The run-off system in Georgia did keep a Black man from winning.

    ‘Sen. Raphael Warnock Gets 73% More Campaign Contributions From California Donors Than Georgia’
    October 18, 2022
    The Georgia senator also leads the pack in donations from the entertainment industry, with nearly $1 million raised this cycle
    https://www.thewrap.com/raphael-warnock-more-california-donors-georgia/
    The Entertainment Business is a sleazy business. Oh, not the looney actors and singers and good-balls celebrities. We expect that from artists. No, the more you more up to producers, the Executive Producers, then to that guy that comes around now and then and stays in the background and then whispers something in the Executive Producer’s ear….no, the real sleaze in the business not the talent….although they are just can’t live without applause….narcissists.
    The Big Sleaze is…..us Californians…among others. We flooded the zone. I never did donate to Walker’s run-off. I give all my money to Trump. :). A some to Omar’s opponent.
