Oy!!!
Heh, heh, looks like Anitfa fucked around with the Gypsy Joker biker gang in Portland and found out. Having first hand knowledge of how these biker gangs operate, I’d say Antifa has a BIG problem. Police have rules. Biker Gangs not so much, and this ain’t even close to over.

As if the excitement from Twos-day was not enough for the week, fasten your togas, it’s Happy Terminalia Day!

I read an article about that TeeRoy in which the author said growing up near their territory people learned early on not to mess with the Gypsy Joker Gang. Prior to that incident I had never heard of them. Hopefully the miscreants compromising just the idea of Antifa gets to meet them up close and personal for the rest of this election year (and beyond if it’s not too much trouble Mr. Joker)
I skimmed a long article in the Atlantic yesterday that tried to describe the treatment of Covid in terms of prevention of tobacco related disease and death. I didn’t read it too closely but the idea was since we’ve known cigarettes are bad for you, people who smoke are deliberately choosing disease. The analogy for Covid was that since we know the vaccines are so effective, choosing not to take them elevates your risk of disease and death. So people who don’t get the jab, in his estimation, are like the rubes who continue to smoke cigarettes “despite everyone knowing how bad it is for you.”
This quote made me cringe:
“The COVID vaccines are, without exaggeration, among the safest and most effective therapies in all of modern medicine. An unvaccinated adult is an astonishing 68 times more likely to die from COVID than a boosted one. Yet widespread vaccine hesitancy in the United States has caused more than 163,000 preventable deaths and counting. Because too few people are vaccinated, COVID surges still overwhelm hospitals—interfering with routine medical services and leading to thousands of lives lost from other conditions. If everyone who is eligible were triply vaccinated, our health-care system would be functioning normally again.”
Read it for yourself and see if you agree or disagree with his premise
https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2022/02/covid-anti-vaccine-smoking/622819/
His premise is supported by what data, exactly? The CDC stopped sharing.
I don’t want to read it. I’ll just get pissed off. I want to read Teeroy’s article about anifa getting beat. I love a feel-good story in the morning.
wakey wakey
Do I agree with his premise?
It’s bullshit.
I’m sick of proving the obvious. I’ve used stats. I’ve used what data they allow to be seen. You’re messing with a healthy immune system (if in fact you have one and healthy people do).
Candace Owens is pregnant again. She’s bothered to go back and look at the data related to adding a vaccine to the childhood list of vaccines. If you want to be sick to your stomach go back and look at her Instagram OR watch her new mini expose’ Shot In The Dark.
It has been bullshit from day one. Pharmaceutical companies are the fricken devil with their minions in congress.
I’m encouraging my kids not to get ANY vaccines for their children.
Yes, I’m an anti vaxxer. 100%
hell no I don’t agree, so much that I’m not reading it either. Why did so many get covid after getting the vax? Riddle me that, lefty atlantic writer that I don’t give a shit about.
Maybe this will be to your liking, Car in?

Because of course they did.
As Portland Police Public Information Officer Lt. Nathan Sheppard attempted to update the media on the shooting melee in Northeast Portland, two known Antifa militants took over the news conference, commandeered the microphones, and began blaming the police for failing to do their jobs to protect them.
Police should have put them in Chaz.

They have been pretty good since their editor got red pilled. She’s been on Tim Pool’s show a lot.
If Paula decides to go traveling nurse, she’ll have time on her hands, evidently:
One of these members is Marysa Leyva, whom Ngo describes as “a Phoenix-area militant #antifa member & a traveling nurse who is now in Portland” and “used to run @antifash_m but was so extreme that she was permanently suspended. Now she’s evading that ban with a new account calling for violence.”
The big surprise is that this is the first mass shooting of Pantifa.

Their absolute power to fuck with us is slipping away. They lust for the chance to copy Trudeau’s tyranny for themselves. The trucker protest is a poor strategic move now that we see what is going to happen. This is terrible. They shouldn’t convoy here. It’s handing them the bat to beat us with.

Jay, that food review link was awesome.
IKR? All the responses to all the recipes, all in one place!
Our governor, who will be giving the SOTU response, said that a blockade (not a convoy!) would result in quick arrests. So it’s not just the Dems.
Meanwhile antifa can annex entire sections of a major city and no problem.
We are watching the end of western democracy. It may have been just a sham for some time, now.

Here’s a little ditty that came across my desk this morning from a reliable source:
Fed Forecasting
Dating back to 2012, the Fed has correctly predicted the fed funds rate, a rate they literally control, 37% of the time, core inflation 29% of the time, unemployment 24%, and Real GDP growth 17%. Moreover, the Fed is consistently biased towards faster growth and higher rates than what comes to pass. Only 7% of the time was the Fed dovish. Thus, treat Fed inflation/growth/rate forecasts with appropriate skepticism.

I love the old NY accent in that show. The only NY accent I can tolerate, really.
According to one of CNN brain trust it’s now treason to criticize Brandon, because the GOP did. Can’t wait for the state of the union address, apparently the squad has a response planned. Wonder if treason will apply to them as well…
This defining down of treason isn’t going to play out like they hope. It’s like having the death penalty for all crime.

I wasn’t allowed to watch Archie Bunker. Edith’s screech may have been a factor.
The trucker protest is a poor strategic move now that we see what is going to happen. This is terrible. They shouldn’t convoy here. It’s handing them the bat to beat us with.
——-
I’ve been thinking the same thing since they evicted them off the bridge. When I heard Brandon put the barriers up in DC I sort of knew where this was going. It’s too late to stop it but I really wish they had some creative thinkers in the group who can figure out a protest that thwarts the inevitable crackdown.
I’ve been saying “wall off the cities” for years. The trick is to keep the threat alive so they build their own walls and are afraid to go outside.
Long term, this could work.
I could never figure out what Edith was saying when she sang, “Gee our old Lasalle ran great,”
I watched the show every week and couldn’t make sense out of those lyrics.
Then many many years later when we got the internet I googled the song, and I was like, “Oh yeah, now I get it.”
I wasn’t allowed to watch Archie Bunker.
That’s too bad. You missed some iconic moments, like hearing a toilet flush for the first time on TV.
Our Country is a fucking mess. It’s circling in the toilet.
All In The Family was on after either The Jefferson’s or Sanford And Son (I forget exactly which one) on our big boxy antenna TV and we were allowed to watch it even if a lot of the humor went over our heads
Jefferson’s
Now you got me whistling the them to Sanford & Son.
My old computer tech back in the day had that as his ringtone. It was fun to listen to him get a call.
A memorable show was the one when Archie and Meathead got locked in the basement and Edith and her cumguzzling daughter weren’t home.
Archie relates the story of when he was a little boy and lost one of his galoshes and had to go to school with one shoe and one boot and all the kids from then on called him ShoeBootie, and he hated it.
It was a very touching scene – for about two minutes.
Speaking of circling the toilet

I heard somewhere on the radio yesterday, maybe Howie Carr Show, where some guy got as lower insurance rate by claiming he was a female and another instance of a guy retiring a year early with increased benefits by claiming to be a woman, Both examples happened in other countries but, much like emergency dictatorship rules, it’s only a matter of time before it’s here.
LOL
I used to have a classic 1954 Chevy pickup truck. Every time I would pull in to one of my daughters’ driveway they would start whistling the theme to Sanford & Son.
https://rumble.com/vvm38s-my-dog-may-be-atheist.html
The best method for the trucker protest to make their point imo, is for them to continue to move – circle the beltway a few times and maybe do a circuit of the mall.
Then continue on to the next city.
Any truck convoy will naturally clog up traffic (queue theory and all) but it won’t become so obnoxious as to piss off us working peeps.
It will definitely fuck with the supply chain.
After they burn whatever fuel they feel like burning they should all take a two week vacation.
Bare shelves and empty roads are just as effective as clogged roads and flaring tempers.
The Jefferson’s was a spin-off from All in the Family.
Yeah, didn’t the Jeffersons move in next door, and Archie was all in a snit about the neighborhood going to hell?
Yes, that sounds about right Hotspur.
Check out the library.

Hmmm: https://emeralddb3.substack.com/p/what-happened-to-hannity/comments?utm_source=url
I think you’re right Jam. A rolling blockade of trucks going the exact speed limit for most of a day will eff up traffic and make their point as well as an occupation with less collateral risk. Do this at a few key locations in different cities on the same day and then, as you say, take a powder for a good week or two. Then Brandon won’t know whether to blame Putin/Ukraine, Trump’s hotel room or those scoundrels the truckers for inflation and shortages.

I’ve been watching 1883 which is the story of how the Dutton family got to Yellowstone Ranch.
The first few episodes were great, but later episodes have turned it into sort of a woke jizzfest.
But last night the really WOKE Dutton daughter asserted the following:
“To import the traditions of a place you fled, the place that failed you, is to condemn the place you seek with the same failures.”
I wondered, how in the hell did they let that slip through? She was basically saying it to demonize white settlers bringing their culture to the Plains, but doesn’t it illustrate why immigrants need to assimilate to our culture? And doesn’t it illustrate why liberals who flee NYC and LA, etc., shouldn’t bring their politics to red states?
Just spitballing’.

I know Castreau and Brandon do.
We ate at a restaurant on Route 66 this AM on our way to the zoo. Great service, but ok food. Which is almost unheard of in NM. The great service part. Staff is still masked. First time we tried this restaurant, they were raided by ICE and the entire kitchen staff was frogmarched out. We were allowed to finish our meal before the restaurant was padlocked. It looks like family is staffing and running the restaurant. Bus boy to Host. Host made a joke about kitchen staff getting the day off and making Abuela make tortillas. $20

Exactly.
Yellowstone/1883 are both pretty woke. Still watching.
The Plebeians were able to get concessions from the Patricians and eventually wipe out most of the differences between them, during the Conflict of the Orders, with their major weapon being labor strikes.
Just throwing this out there.
I don’t hate Putin. I don’t trust him. But then the list of people i don’t trust is long. I also don’t trust the process that has gotten us into this. That doesn’t make me a Putin lover, or the giant jump to saying that I’m siding with Putin because it will make Biden look bad/I love Trump.
Biden DOES look bad. Horrible. And Putin is acting as he is because he knows our country is in the hands of a feeble old man.
Gee – why wouldn’t they want us to know this?
“Among the hidden data points are the hospitalization rates broken down by age and vaccination status, in addition to the effectiveness of booster shots. Just the important stuff.”
Because if the data supported their bullshit, we’d know all about it.
700 members of the national guard called up for the convoy headed to D.C. Anyone know if Teamsters are part if the convoy? It would make it interesting.
Putin is heartless former KGB who kills anybody who tells the truth and has allowed his country to be run by thieving oligarchs. Anything you have, anything you build, anything you invent, is stolen from you and used to enrich their bloated evil selves. And you need to shut up about it if you know what’s good for you and your family. The state is good with that. The state sponsors it. When he annexed the Crimea, he degraded the standard of living for everyone because they have to pull harder just to feed the top parasite class. As well as living in a general apparatus of oppression.
No, fuck those guys. Their way of life is alien and antagonistic to us.
Well, in one way, I failed to stand up to the bullies, and I’m sorry. Haven’t been to work on site since Feb. 10. Took some personal days, worked some from home. Work’s been stacking up, people are panicking, worrying that launch schedule is going to be impacted. It took a personal appeal from the new branch chief to make me give in on testing. Test is once per week, not every day, just did one from home that is proctored online and doesn’t involve brain swabbing, nor does FDA get my sample to monkey with, I get reimbursed for the test cost.
Pity poor Patil who gets to watch people swab their schnozzes for hours every day.
You are lucky. Health care industry will probably never let go of this requirement. Still can’t believe they aren’t letting people give a titer to prove immunity. So, so, stupid and punitive.
Wait, wut? A New York rap band, all members deeply pigmented, arrested by the feds for scamming covid relief? Brandon’s putting them back in chains, man! That racist fuck!
But I’m still not getting the shot, so there’s a win.
Big time! *high five*
Giving a titer to prove immunity would be a value added feature for Pups BBF posts!

Depends on which investors, Leon. Pfizer & moderna tanking just means a new, more contagious variant is to be announced, very soon. Look for those employed by the governments around the world to lead the sell off, only to buy back in when the peasants sell, that’s the indicator of a new variant about to be ” discovered”
I’m never getting the shot. Hannah and Ethan are the only ones (in the fam) that have gotten it – they were both forced. Ethan has said though if they force a booster he’s exiting stage left.

It’s from Carin’s link earlier. A Michelin starred restaurant serving mostly pretension and very little food. One course involved a foam served without utensils and instructions to lick it out of a plaster cast of the chef’s mouth.
Michelin starred restaurant. Has staff that scoures the local hiways & biways for fresh road kills? Yum, possum pot pie!
…pup petitions for my banishment…sorry pup!
I read that article too Carin and it was horrifying. The chef’s BS response was also awful.

As the social workers in the pen pounded into us every day, actions have consequences. No shit, it’s good to see it works both ways, but let’s not let this be an excuse to let a REAL criminal get off Scott free while still blaming others for doing exactly what elected “officials” do to us peons on a daily basis. I’m still curios why I went to the pen after witnesses testified I was assaulted on my own property.
DNH, what jurisdiction was that?
The rule almost seems to be the more expensive the meal, the worse the food. That was certainly the case in England, in Las Vegas, and in Madison, Wisconsin. The $10 meal was yummy and filling, the $60 meal was meh. Mr. RFH and I took a cooking class where we spent a stupid amount of money each, got one chicken tender, one mushroom cap, and a spoonful of rice. We hit Chick-fil-a on the way home.
At least no foams were involved. Back when I watched Top Chef (before it became all ghey all the time), there was one chef that kept making foams, even after one of the judges called him on it, saying it looked like cat sick on the plate.

The restaurant thing reminds me of a conversation I had with my son. I was telling him about capitalism, and how it’s not really an economic system, but a psychological analysis. People naturally want to trade things for things of greater value, and that’s true no matter which country you’re in.
So if a girl makes a million dollars selling jars of honey, because she promises to donate part of the profits to restoring bee hives, and she’s charging more than the regular jar of honey, you can understand that the thing of value is honey + sense of well being for supporting a good cause. That’s why it’s so hard to quantify value, because people can and do value things differently. When you recognize that, and you understand you can make your product worth more by associating it in the buyer’s mind with some unspoken value, you can sell your product better than the competitor can.
If I want to eat food, I can spend a little bit of money and get something that will satisfy my hunger. If my value is somewhere else – satisfy hunger + feel reasonably healthy afterwards, that will affect my purchase and probably cost more. If my value is satisfy hunger + have a unique experience, or satisfy my hunger + feel more sophisticated than the plebes, all that will affect the price I’m willing to pay. And all that happens without any government intervention, without any economic theory, without much in the way of conscious thought at all. It’s psychology, not economics.

Wow, I would have lost that bet. Apparently Mooselini backed down and cancelled the emergency powers act.
He already got everything he wanted: the truckers are gone, the police will spend the next year throwing Grandma in jail, and he has his precedent.
Too late for him. Banks are fooked. No one in their right mind is going leave money in the bank anymore. Everybody got the message. How long til they outlaw cash? They won’t be able to keep up circulation demand.
OK, Well the question about if you’re getting an actual restaurant meal, or an artificial ‘restaurant’ art presentation, needs to be settled before you enter the contract and have to lay down money.
And the part about putting rancid ricotta in front of people and expecting them to eat it is a Health Dept referral.
He already got everything he wanted: the truckers are gone, the police will spend the next year throwing Grandma in jail, and he has his precedent.
I don’t know, Sobek. The truckers were gone well before he enacted emergency powers. His speech about ending emergency powers was rather brittle. He seems a pissy little bitch, not someone who got what he wanted. Unless he is really that good an actress.
I didn’t watch the speech. Pissy little bitch seems like normal operating mode for him. I wonder if Ace’s speculation – that his party made some behind the scenes deal with him – is accurate.
I had an email from the big boss today saying that because of inflation, they were moving up our annual reviews from June to March and issuing a 7% cost of living adjustment to everyone.

If my value is satisfy hunger + have a unique experience, or satisfy my hunger + feel more sophisticated than the plebes, all that will affect the price I’m willing to pay.
My big thing is that I want to eat something I won’t or can’t make for myself. It’s why I almost never eat at a Mexican restaurant, I can do beef, beans, rice, and cheese on my own, so why pay $$ for it. I go for dim sum, bento boxes, Indian dishes where I can’t pronounce the names.
A run on the banks would make some knees knock for sure
I’d do a run on the banks except for…..what the fuck am I supposed to do with $20,000,000?
Just kidding more than likely.
The only thing that makes sense to me is all the bankers called Justine and said “you’ve just cost us money, you fix this right now or else.”
He has damaged banking in that country for at least a decade. Expect barter to become huge.

*Yeah, I know you had as much say in that as I did. We’re both fucked and I’m sorry.

I hear a lot of crap in the media, ‘OMG, they’re a democracy! Putin’s invading a Democracy!’
No, they’re an Oligarchy at best, Kleptocracy at worst’. Putin appeased the oligarchs and they’re giving him private sanction.

Hillary, too. Might as well spike her 2024 ambitions.
I specifically requested the NON-dystopian 21st Century. This is not what I ordered. I want to speak to the manager.
Ooof. Sorry. Best we can do is enjoying seeing Japanese puncturing CRT to death.

I hate to be seen as an isolationist, but we really fucked up by trying to expand NATO.
NATO served it’s purpose. Once the USSR fell, we should have invited the former Warsaw Pact into some sort of ‘peace partner’ economic alliance and maybe some mil-mil exchanges, nothing more.
Trump did a good job by questioning NATO’s usefulness in today’s age and holding members to account. That (and energy independence +blocking NordStream) kept Putin quiet.
Now Biden has unraveled all of that and is stunned at the reaction his own actions have brought.

Cyberpunk really should have tipped you off to what was coming.
Especially after 2015 rolled by with no hoverboards.
Beasn, I don’t see anything at your instagram link.
Dire emergencies require pluck.
