I Have Misplaced My Pants said...: So the Cartoon Network is pushing out a bunch of BS about pronouns and gender blah blah blah. Specifically marketed to kids. I don’t have cable and my kids don’t watch that garbage so it’s not mucking up their brains; found out about it when the Wokeness Czar at Mr. Pants’ employer sent out an ecstatic email about it.

Inga said...: Reminds me of the guy who shot up Comet Pizza believing he was breaking up a children’s porn ring. Conspiracy theories run amok.

“HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A former Houston Police Department Captain was arrested and charged for running a man off the road and pointing a gun at his head in an attempt to prove claims of a massive voter fraud scheme in Harris County, according to a news release from the Harris County's DA's office.

Mark Anthony Aguirre, 63, was arrested by Houston police Tuesday and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a second-degree felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison.

"He crossed the line from dirty politics to commission of a violent crime, and we are lucky no one was killed," Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said. "His alleged investigation was backward from the start - first alleging a crime had occurred and then trying to prove it happened."”

The Gipper Lives said...: “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”–Ronald Reagan, “A Time For Choosing”, 1964

We were told that President Trump needed to win beyond the “margin of steal”–which he did.

But now we know that there is no such thing.

They will sit there all night long for weeks manufacturing and inventing votes and voters until they “win”. They just did. And our One-Party Media will let them--no, help them do it. Between the make-believe machine “count” and the Mail-In forgeries, there is no margin too great for them to overcome. And now they’re trying again in Georgia.

If Beijing Biden is installed, Nancy Pelosi’s House Bill No. 1 comes off the shelf as the first order of business: the complete take-over of America’s elections, run out of the Swamp.

You think you’re going to vote your way out of this in 2022 or 2024?

They would legalize and mandate every kind of fraud you saw in this election. The states that do not have Dominion Cheatware machines would have it forced on them. Wide-open Fraud-by-Mail would be mandatory in all 50 states. No checking of signatures, residency, American citizenship or even a pulse. It would be a crime to ask.

We have to insist this corruption is rejected and rejected NOW. Because our System will either stand up and do the right thing now or we’ll have to get a new system.

Ronald Reagan’s 1964 speech was entitled “A Time For Choosing”. That election was lost--but at least Americans got to choose. This year, we chose President Trump in a landslide--and our choice was stolen. That is not just theft, but a form of tyranny. They are stealing our very Right to Choose. This is not a theft from the President alone. They are stealing our Consent. They are stealing Us.

There will be no other "Times For Choosing" if we don’t reject and refuse this Stolen Election Coup now.

The grand-kids are tugging on Grandpa’s pant-leg, asking for a bedtime story. Which storybook will we pull off the shelf? Make America Great Again or Make Americans Slaves Again?

I’ve already decided. Have you?; 12/15/20, 9:18 PM
John henry said...: Ive been here in Flatlandia since Saturday a week ago. Weather has been chilly but not terrible. Mostly in the 30s. (Anything under 70 is chilly for me)

This afternoon it started snowing. My wife, my kids and especially my 4 grandkids are thrilled to death. "Send more pictures! Take a video!" they tell me. Yeah right. Like I am going to go outside in that stuff. So nasty that even Heaven doesn't want it.

I did do a small snowman. Two youngest grandkids almost 5&3 were tickled pink.

Roads coming back to the house I rented were slicker than snot on a doorknob. I was driving 20 miles an hour, practicing social distancing and still almost hit someone in a roundybout.

3 more days and I'm headed south.

Looking forward to a Bright bright Christmas of Green with John L and the boys

John henry said...: Speaking of not realizing that he will never be president, what's up with Kamala Harris? She has not resigned her Senate seat yet. Does she plan to do so? If so, when?

Or even not. I read the other day there is no legal requirement that a VP, who is constitutionally a member of the Senate not also be a sitting senator.

The question this article posed is how many votes would she have. She would have the one as Senator but would she also be a tie breaker as Senate President?

We've had had a couple of instances where a sitting senator ran for VP and re-election as senator in the same election. LBJ won election as VP AND re-election as senator but resigned as senator. When he tried to exercise his prerogatives as Senate President, JFK Demmies put the kibosh on him. Since LBJ really, really, really, really wanted to be someday, they had leverage. He could have told them to just piss up a rope.

Bentson lost the vice-presidency but won his Senate seat.

Inga said...: “Next-door neighbors of Mar-a-Lago, President Trump’s private club in Palm Beach, Fla., that he has called his Winter White House, have a message for the outgoing commander in chief: We don’t want you to be our neighbor. That message was formally delivered Tuesday morning in a demand letter delivered to the town of Palm Beach and also addressed to the U.S. Secret Service asserting that Trump lost his legal right to live at Mar-a-Lago because of an agreement he signed in the early 1990s when he converted the storied estate from his private residence to a private club. The legal maneuver could, at long last, force Palm Beach to publicly address whether Trump can make Mar-a-Lago his legal residence and home, as he has been expected to do, when he becomes an ex-president after the swearing-in of Joe Biden on Jan. 20.”; 12/15/20, 9:44 PM

Narr said...: I'm dragging htis up from a thread last night. Just briefly--

The irrelevance of the 'state' concept in Afghanistan; of course there's a formal state for which factions contest control, but the joke about the President being in reality the Mayor of Kabul is not new. The tribes and factions are more powerful than the state in almost everything that matters, as far as I can see, and are happy to let puppets and posturers play politics.

On the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq being different from our entry into WWII, sure, but it hardly alters the point that neither country had much history of even formal democracy or rechtstaat potential. Not that ideological ignoramuses like Li'l Bush and Cheney would know or care.

Finally, books. For understanding WWII, Andrew Roberts's "Masters and Commanders" about the Combined Chiefs of Staff. It was a revelation to me about the workings of a completely unprecedented organization without which the war could not have been fought to victory.

On CSpan I watched Rhodes College Professor Tait Keller's presentation to the National WWI Museum (need to go) about his edited volume "Environmental Histories of WW I" (or the like). Very tantalizing samples of economic and environmental issues and challenges on and beyond the battlefronts. On my list.

Inga said...: “The Swedish prime minister has admitted that health officials may have misjudged the power of the coronavirus.

The country which decided to take the herd immunity approach in response to the first wave of coronavirus, now seems to be struggling as the second wave takes hold.

Prime minister Stefan Lofven told the Aftenposten newspaper “I think that most people in the profession didn't see such a wave in front of them, they talked about different clusters.”

Mr Lofven spoke just hours before results were released by a commission to look at how well Sweden dealt with the pandemic.

On 9 December, the health authority in Stockholm declared that 99 per cent of its intensive care beds were full. The capital has requested assistance from the army and neighbours Norway and Finland have offered the country medical assistance.

This comes as the Scandinavian country recorded its highest ever mortality since the first year of the 1918-1920 Spanish flu pandemic. A total of 8,088 deaths from all causes was recorded Monday.

Tomas Johansson of Statistics Sweden said in a statement that in November 1918, 16,600 people died.”

No snow here in the greater pugetopolis, but Seattle is hell bent on decriminalizing pretty much ALL crime committed by certain protected peoples, so called 'crimes of poverty'. So if you are poor, bipoc, crazy, a substance abuser, homeless - pretty much anyone not working their ass off to support themselves and their families - you will get a pass on most crimes in Seattle if the council votes 'correctly'. So Seattle is working on outdoing Portland, San Francisco, LA and Minneapolis. So far, the special folks have not discovered the bridges over Lake Washington.

Inga said...: I’m so sorry Qwinn, I really am. I’m actually rooting for you to finally find a real bombshell.

We rate this claim False.

“Our ruling
Trump claimed that there was a 68% error rate in the tabulation machines used in Michigan, far more than the law allowed. The apparent source for his claim is a report from an investigation of tabulation equipment from one county that purportedly identified a 68.05% error rate.

The author of the report said the error rate applied not to the number of ballots counted, but rather to the lines or events listed in the tabulators’ activity logs.

Trump’s tweet refers to a "law" about benchmark error rates. There is no such law. The report he alluded to refers to FEC guidelines that don’t exist either.

Election officials have explained that the error in unofficial election night reporting in Antrim County was the result of human error, not an error with the software or tabulation machines used in the county.

Surely that counts for something and will help to heal America's wounds.....I don't know for certain whether vote fraud changed the outcome of the election, but it's glaringly obvious that the tilt of the media had a huge impact. I don't think a Mayor can properly manage a city without the support of the police department.

And Fulton County GA election officials ADMITTED an 84% error rate.

And Clark County Nevada election officials ADMITTED a 70% error rate.

Your fact checkers are complicit, Inga. Just like when they lied about Hunter Biden before the election. Remember that? Didn't you post lying fact checks about that too? Oh yeah, and your complete bullshit "Lead Stories" fact check of the GA videos.

Fact Check: We rate the claim "Any claim Inga debunks with a "fact check" that claims it is false inevitably always turns out to be true" to be true.; 12/15/20, 10:59 PM

Americans can survive mediocrity. It's the great genuises you have to watch out for.... I take comfort in Joe's somnolence and dimness. Whatever his flaws, he's not a Bond villain...(Neither was Trump, although you'd never believe if all you knew of him was what you saw reported on the news. Trump was painted as being both diabolically evil and too stupid to accomplish ordinary human tasks. I never understood that dynamic, but that's how the media portrayed him, and, to a certain extent, the public bought it.); 12/15/20, 11:10 PM
Kathryn51 said...: Re: F**ked up Seattle, Season 3, Episode 19 (Arashi and Snoqualmie Mike):

Witness Lisa Herbold, Seattle City Councilwoman who is sponsoring a new law that effectively decriminalizes all minor/petty crimes (trespassing, vandalism, etc). She also voted to "defund" the SPD.

Last Friday, someone threw rocks at her residence and broke a window. She called the police. For a crime that will no longer be a crime if she has her way.

Sounds like:
1. The SDNY investigating Trump's tax returns
2. The FBI investigating "Russian Collusion".
3. Leading Democrats claiming they're going to prosecute Trump, every member of his family, and every member of his administration. Not investigate, not even claim crimes- prosecute. Likely while everyone in in jail without parole.; 12/16/20, 12:31 AM

He was arrested on sex trafficking and racketeering charges, and it was the number one Canadian headline by a long way. Not nearly slow enough news to lose out to Chelsea Clinton pretending that she lost a wedding gift.

Between Nygard, Epstein, and Weinstein, people can pretend that the signs of the times aren't MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN, but I sure as hell see it. That is not a specific commentary on Althouse's picks for reading: most normal people miss the forest for the trees just as completely.; 12/16/20, 1:57 AM

stevew said...: Reported over night: "As Massachusetts health officials face the latest surge of coronavirus cases, pediatricians are warning of a growing health crisis in children.". These are experts, it says right there.

This is the headline: "Would a shift in learning models help lower the rising rates of depression, suicide among children?"

What sort of "shift in learning models" do they imagine? Perhaps the evidence of the rate at which children contract and transmit the virus can help us devise a plan?

GD experts are idiots whose idiocy is surpassed only by government officials and leaders like Gov Baker.

On another note, reading the majority of comments overnight (actually skimming past) I find myself longing for a return to the days of moderation.

Finally, we are set to get some snow overnight tonight, 6-9 inches with gale force winds. Mrs. stevew is hightailing it to daughter's house. I'm hoping we don't lose power, this place is chilly with the heat on. Currently 15 degrees F outside, snow won't arrive until later this afternoon.
