Who killed the unarmed Ashli Babbitt?
Looks like blue haze on the water on the far shore, very pretty.
Who killed the unarmed Ashli Babbitt?
And further, who is actually running the country? It certainly isn't Joe, whose job seems to be to sign anything they put in front of him. And I seriously doubt that it's Kamala. In fact I hope it's not.
Great, another woke city with the obligatory lesbian police chief who looks as if she couldn’t run fifty yards or tie her shoes without help.
Now the lefties are complaining that the only reason the Boulder shooter was taken alive is because he 'looks white.'
And they’re tying themselves in knots to say that under the census rules, North Africans are considered white.
Fucking high-larious.
Of course, nobody mentions the ‘M’ word.
Most of these assholes kill themselves.
For the ones that don’t, it is much better from an intel perspective (are there accomplices?) to take them alive.
Stupidity reigns amongst the left…
But the same people that have no idea about the largest mass shooting in history are all over this one…
I noticed recently that since I've had to wear a mask in public, I've gotten a lot more "dearie" or "miss" and a LOT less "ma'am". Mask seems to take years off my appearance.
Anyone else?
Who killed the unarmed Ashli Babbitt?
Who and why. Shoot to kill wasn't in self-defense.
Drove by Mendota today and didn't even notice that it had changed states.

With masks in the grocery store, it seems like we ignore each other a lot more.
With masks (often clutched) on the hiking trails, it seems like we notice people a lot more.
Woke Tibetan prayer wheel yard sign.
"Mask seems to take years off my appearance."
Either way, not young enough to prevent getting asked for ID when buying wine at Safeway.
Whose idiotic policy is it to ID everyone, even 90-year-olds?
One of those zero tolerances things. More like zero sense.
Mask seems to take years off my appearance.
If, contrary to the outcomes of controlled studies, their intuitive science, anecdotal evidence, and models, are right, then with evolution, the next generation of humans will be conceived with an integrated mask. So far, the patterns across jurisdictions, accounting for disparate factors (e.g. fat is beautiful is a comorbidity, Planned Parent/hood), and chance, are indiscernible.
Oh, and the feds had a line on the Boulder shooter just as they did on almost every other high profile case in which they also did nothing.
A beautiful, calm scene. In a few weeks there will be buds on those trees. Ours have been out for a couple of weeks. Longer days and signs of spring do wonders for my disposition.

Masks produce a smoothing effect. A limited veil to hide our individual traits.
"One of those zero tolerances things. More like zero sense."
I think zero responsibility is the point.
I just read some of the allegations against Deshaun Watson. I'm curious as to why the cases are civil; do women not go to the police anymore?
Kamala run the country? The Laughing Jackass? Get real.
NBC called her "Asian".
"I just read some of the allegations against Deshaun Watson. I'm curious as to why the cases are civil; do women not go to the police anymore?"
Big payday?
Get cash in exchange for an NDA?
Like the Goldman's going after OJ in civil court.
Plus a lower threshold to find guilty I believe...
"And they’re tying themselves in knots to say that under the census rules, North Africans are considered white."
I predicted it here earlier today- White Muslim.
That lake looks bigoted.
oops

in other news, mr sherwin seems to have been sent to the woodshed, since his 'show and tell' with the judge, didn't quite work out,
It is embarrassing to support the Biden Regime at this point.
Only the idiots and losers left.
To go back to the subject of education- have any of you noticed the amount of psych counselors are employed by schools, along w/para-educators? I’ve heard some really weird stories about discipline and how- the whole classroom of kids other than the one who’s having a fit- rather than removing the naughty one. Where I live, meals are supplied daily- even during any remote learning and also all of this past summer. It makes me feel pretty hopeless looking at the future.
Joe Smith: those things are all true. I would be inclined to seek criminal charges (and, maybe also civil damages) if I had been assaulted. I just think it odd that none of the 14 women went to the police.
she was tied up with the deal between the azeris and malta, that claimed the life of a brave reporter, who actually practiced journalism

"Joe Smith: those things are all true. I would be inclined to seek criminal charges (and, maybe also civil damages) if I had been assaulted. I just think it odd that none of the 14 women went to the police."
It seems that maybe their leverage is not seeking criminal charges.
As in, pay up and this will go away.
Kind of like Jesse Jackson shaking down a corporation.
If they go to the cops first, they lose the leverage.
President-Emeritus Biden wants to spend $3T on infrastructure to start implementing his Green Nude Eel program. He's going to kick off inflation just like LBJ did trying to run the Vietnam War and the Great Society programs without a big enough GDP to for both.

Gun bans work great for Chirac. Just a couple or three dozen shootings every weekend with only 10 deaths. Black Lives Matter except in Chirac.
On this date in 1775, Patrick Henry declared “...Give me liberty, or give me death!” at the second Virginia Convention. Today’s Regressives would label Henry a “Domestic Terrorist” and be arrested for inciting an insurrection as a “white privilege”. Also on this date, in 1933, the German Reichstag passed The Enabling Act, which granted the Nazis dictatorial powers. Sadly, both events are most likely no longer covered in high school history classes. Henry also was a slave holder, another whammy making him persona non grata. These events would have been ingrained in students’ memory how fragile our freedom is. Today’s Enabling Act is HR 1, basically making our country a one party system where it counts, at the 3 branches of our federal government. These two events are ironic in history and with what our country is experiencing. I can only hope & pray that Sen. Manchin sees what destruction he will wrought in overturning the filibuster. But I am pretty sure Chuck Schumer has offered Manchin a level of pork not seen in West Virginia since Sen. Byrd was alive.

Testing levels matter- states that test more find more "Covid" deaths just like they find more cases. New York, for example, is running 200K tests/day still, as is California. In the end, we will have to compare the state level excess deaths from the CDC to find out who did the best, but I suspect the field will end up being a lot more level when that happens.
If anyone in the hate crimes industry was honest or even had a flawed soul, they would classify this as an anti-nationality (American) and anti-white hate crime.

I would expect that in coming years, there will actually be a decrease in the number of average annual deaths. With so many in their 80s and 90s dying, they likely would have died anyway from something else next year or the year after. They are not so much excess deaths as they are early deaths.
Instead of looking at year-to-year deaths, if we look at five or ten year periods, I expect they will even out.

Very interesting. The existentialism of androids.
After their original makers died, despite their extensive artificial intelligence, having complete freedom, they "lacked a purpose for a long time." It was only in serving others -- and some say that the essence of love is gift of self for good of others -- that they were able find meaning and purpose in their existence. They hungered for that purpose.
Too bad they found that purpose in Harry Mudd.

Chuggin' along Mike of S, isn't progress fun.
Masks dehumanize and are anti-social. Went for a hike with our son and his family, lovely DIL and two granddaughters, 8 & 6, on Sunday. Mask in the car at the entrance to greet the ranger and pay the fee. Mask on the trail only when another group is approaching or passing. At the summit, a granite outcropping that looks down along floor out to Casco Bay, we stood in the sunshine with about 30 other folks, some masked, most not, all maintaining distance from each other. Everyone just loving the sun, the bird sighting, and being out and about. I'm hopeful the return to normal continues and accelerates.

Rates are bobbing around 3.5% but depending on the points/costs, your true cost may vary.
Cash out re-fi's are higher.
So depending on your risk tolerance and degree of certainty around future inflation, calculate accordingly.

With the false positive rate estimated between 0.4 and 4%, there's an argument that statistically, cases don't exist any more at least in California, where the positivity is running at 1.7%.

@Michael K: This is my first week in a house I bought in Freeborn County, Minnesota. Relatively cheap house compared to New Jersey. 20% down, conventional 30-year fixed at 2.99% First time I ever used Chase Bank, and they rocked. Closed on time and super efficient. So now I have a small house with a big garage that's half a block to a pretty lake, and my mortgage payment is less than half of what I was paying to rent a studio apartment in a commuter suburb of New York City.

I have seen some stunning eyes peering out from masks over the last year.
Mockturtle, I unfortunately see people wearing them all the time at state parks and other nature areas here in south central WI. However, I have been seeing fewer instances of it, save for one walk I took two weeks ago on the lower Yahara River trail during which there were literally dozens of people wearing them, often alone, sigh.
It's nice to not have a mortgage. Not bragging, we purposely downsized such that we would have no house debt for our golden years. Got to say I like it.

I don't think anyone expects this debt to ever be repaid. The left thinks the bubble can be inflated forever and the right has given up and is buying gold. The left, of course, plans on confiscating that gold like Roosevelt did in 1933.
If there is an afterlife, you can explain how it turns out.
"The left, of course, plans on confiscating that gold like Roosevelt did in 1933."
Before or after confiscating all those guns? ;-)
The downside for the left here is that they already took the gold once, so people are not going to be inclined to give it up easily the next time around.
It's always fun to hear her name at the beginning of a Senate vote.

That is test/test positivity, which tends to be about half the person/person positivity due to folks getting multiple tests. Which is to say that the number is probably generally useful for trends, but you need to keep in mind what it measures.
@Mark:

No, but it's a good example of how our system produces such incoherent foreign policy. Both countries are incessantly scapegoated in domestic American politics, and we're pushing a neo-containment strategy against them both. It's guaranteed to provoke a backlash, and this backlash will inevitably be taken as evidence for aggressive intent.
Agreed although there is an argument for a big mortgage at present day interest rates and investing or buying gold.
Everything depends on the quality of the underlying asset. A big mortgage means an expensive property--and then if the market for big houses goes south, you're screwed.

When a friend and I were hiking in an AZ state park last November we saw one couple wearing masks. Later found they were from CA [their car license]. On subsequent days, I noticed them hiking without masks. :-) They had probably just assumed they had to here just as when they were home.

I have little doubt that anonymously divulging internal department deliberations is contrary to department policy.”
The judge said he remains committed to trying defendants based on the facts of a case rather than speculation. “No matter how much press attention this matter gets, let me be clear that these defendants are entitled to a fair trial, not one that is conducted in the media," Mehta said. "They are also entitled to defend against charges that are actually brought against them, not speculation about what might or might not be coming. … The fact is, these types of statements in the media have the potential of affecting the jury pool and the rights of these defendants, and the government, quite frankly, in my view, should know better.”

mockturtle said...Good grief, Francisco D! Where do you live that hikers are wearing masks? California?
I retired to Tucson AZ for the outdoors and the hiking.
Up until a month ago, 35% of the hikers I passed on mountain trails wore masks and clutched them as I passed more than 6 feet away. (We usually step to the side). Over time that number has decreased to about 20%. Age may be a factor, but 90% of the mask wearers are women.
Some may be virtue signaling, but a lot seem to be terrified of the WuFlu even though the vaccines have been widely distributed here.
I was on the outskirts of Ft. Atkinson, WI and saw a guy walking with absolutely no one around wearing a mask.
Of note, I needed a mask for a gig yesterday and shopped late Sunday thinking I could pick up a 3 pack that used to be near every checkout lane.
Only saw some large boxes.
So either stores are reducing mask stock anticipating less market..or resignation to only bulk quantities.

"I assume they get the data from each state so if there are fudges, it will need to found in state records."
They are not fudges in that sense, Soup. What I am saying is that deaths are counted via positive tests for people who subsequently die. A lot of states only test you if you have actual symptoms. Because I do the data on the state level, I notice this- some states have low levels of cases, but then you go look at their positivity rate and it is still in the 20-30% range. States like California and New York run ridiculous numbers of tests, and so have positivity rates down below 3%, but they are still reporting 2-5 new cases/day. All I am saying is that New York is probably overcounting COVID deaths and states like North Dakota or South Dakota has undercounted them. I expect that when the final tallies are done down to the state level for excess deaths, as long as we can sort out the lockdown caused excess, we will likely see that NY and NJ are no worse than CA, TX, or FL.

Covid morality questions:
Would you be friends with an anti-vaxxer?
I would be, but some regard the unvaxxed as dangerous. I don't see how - they won't get it from me and I won't get it from them. They might get it but that's on them. I just got my second shot and it gave me a feeling of confidence in the world - I won't get covid and have people blaming me and I won't spread it and have people blaming me. (If only I weren't white, no one could blame me at all but I realize I am to blame or might be blamed for Christianity, hegemony, the patriarchy, meat eating, pollution and Western Civilization. That might seem a lot but I wear it all lightly.) While I was sitting in the room after the shot (Pfizer) I looked around and the health care workers were scrubbing chairs and the people were mostly sitting silently, separately, waiting to see if they fell over. I looked outside and taxis were pulling up and the taxi drivers were scrubbing windows. I want to forget it all and eat out in a nice place with everyone unmasked and laughing. The way we were.

Covid morality questions:
Would you be friends with an anti-vaxxer?
I have no intention of getting the vaccine. Can't prove I'm already covid resistant, but I have been closely exposed twice and the "highly infections" dreaded covid virus has failed to catch me. My wife had all the symptoms in February 2020- when the dreaded covid wasn't here according to "experts". Since been confirmed through stored biological samples it's been in the USA since no later than November 2019. But in Feb 2020 there were no tests for it anyhow, so along with many others, she had what was called by non-doctors as The Crud That Won't Go Away. I gave her something I read about on another blog- 3 doses of 100,000 IU Vitamin D, 50 mg zinc, and a quercetin 8 hours apart. Also gave it to my 2 sons diagnosed with it. The youngest took it as soon as the doctor said you have it. He wasn't tested. The worst he got was the signature loss of taste and smell. The older one wouldn't take it until they swabbed him. Which took 2 days for an appointment. It was negative. And 3 days later he was in the ER. Oxygen overnight. Swab from hospital- negative. Dictator Cuomo, that noted medical expert and practitioner, at the time forbade doctors and hospitals from giving anyone a 3rd test, when the test at the time was noted for producing more false negatives than positives. He, like me, is a blood donor. His next donation- positive for dreaded covid antibodies. I've done 4 now since the covidiocy began- 0 for 4. Both sons did their isolation in out home, where neither my wife nor I practiced masking and glove wearing. BTW, it's a 40 minute drive to the hospital from my house- the joys of rural living. I drove my son to the ER without either of us in masks, and home the next morning. If I was going to get it- I'd have gotten it.
That's the one thing all the panic mongers seem to ignore about the dreaded covid. Even under ideal circumstance- like shipboard, this superinfectious virus gets a maximum 30% of the exposed population infected. We know that from the Diamond Princess and the USS Theodore Roosevelt debacle. And as for the TR, over 170 of those who did test positive never displayed any symptoms at all. So- if your body fights off a virus to the extent you never show any symptoms- were you ever really sick?
So does the decision by my wife and I, the two sons who had the dreaded covid, and the other two sons, one former Army, the other retired, to NOT get the dreaded covid vaccine make us anti-vaxxers? Or people making carefully thought out decisions based on science, statistics, and personal circumstances and knowledge?
I had the flu shot last year. And previous years. I've had the shingles shot. The pneumonia vaccine. Doctor pointed to evidence that an MMR booster would be a good idea. Had that. Tetanus every 10 years or so.
BTW, I get the flu shot for 2 reasons. 1. I'm required to as part of my job. 2. It's based on what appears to be coming out of Asia for the next flu go-round. Let's be honest, that's where most seasonal flus start from. If the flu shot were based on what went around LAST YEAR and already burned out, I wouldn't get it. And believe me, I could find a reason to bypass the job requirement. The dreaded covid vaccine? It's being given for a disease that would have already run it's course but for government intervention, and since all the scaredy cats are getting it- lining up voluntarily for an experimental vaccine with unknown long term side effects, well, there's no actual need to get it. And it's almost burned out now. It's only government intervention that's kept it around this long.
"In the US Biden is polling nearly 60%."
Of course he is, and he will continue to do so as long as his earpiece keeps sending free money to most of the population.
There’s a rule here against saying the “n-word”, so I’m just going to go ahead a quote it, because there’s no rule against that. ;-)
I'm doing some reading about angry white man rifles. Apparently there is some controversy over the Colt LE6920 and the Colt SP6920 circa 2010-2012. As near as I can tell, the SP (sporter) was priced significantly lower than the LE (law enforcement) at the time, but the SP was the exact same angry white man rifle and was only in roll stamp production for a few months after the original angry white man rifle ban expired. Many angry white men paid the premium for the bad assness of the LE. It would seem that my redneck cousin's daughter's boyfriend, who doesn't seem all that angry, although he is a Person of White, ended up with what is the much more collectable of the angry white man's rifle.
Compared to what is still probative 🤔

As the great Barry Farber used to say; keep asking questions.
Yum, so delicious.

George Segal has died. He's one of my favorite actors. And what a great long career he had. I was just looking him up at IMDB, trying to find the name of one of his movies ("No Way to Treat a Lady" although I probably remember it more for Rod Steiger's performance than Segal's) and I'm amazed at Segal's body of work seeing it listed altogether like that.
Plus he played the banjo. And he was a US Army vet. Rest in peace Mr. Segal. I am going to miss you.
There's a massive container ship stuck sideways in the Suez Canal and it's causing a huge back up. The ship was en route from China to Rotterdam when it got turned around and wedged in there. They're trying to dig around it on one side where it's stuck against the canal wall but so far no luck.
I read about things like this and think to myself, I'm glad I'm not in charge of solving THAT problem.
I clicked on an article over at the BBC (I get a lot of my news, what I don't pick up here or at Instapundit, from foreign news websites), titled "The World's Most Misunderstood Novel" and it's about "The Great Gatsby" so I think, ok this might be interesting although I'm not sure I've read that book or if I did it was a long time ago but I know kind of what it's about, except I probably don't, right? I mean, if it's the world most misunderstood novel. Which, for me, it will remain that because I got a few paragraphs in and decided, I can't absorb this at 4 AM in the morning.
According to another article I just read/skimmed in the BBC's "Culture" section, "Tristram Shandy" by Laurence Sterne is the best comic novel ever written. I've read that book, in college, and while I'd have to refresh my recollection as to what it was about and, therefore, currently have no opinion as to whether or not it's the best comic novel ever written, I wonder is anybody reading that kind of book in college anymore, as a part of a curriculum I mean. Or is it taught only to "educate" about white supremacy and toxic masculinity.
For my money, the best comic novel ever written is "Apathy and other Small Victories" by Paul Neilan. But I'm sure nobody's teaching that anywhere.

"Just finished watch a Netflix series called "Deadwind." It's detective show set in Finland with English subtitles. Really good. Two seasons."
'Bordertown' is another good Finnish detective drama.
Finally, the BBC informs me that, at least in one critic's opinion, the best talk show host ever was Dick Cavett. And here I am surprised it's not Jimmy Kimmel or Kelly Clarkson.
The most treasured sitcom is "Golden Girls" and the ultimate comfort song is "Bridge over Troubled Water", except one should not forget its roots as a political protest.
If I'd written those articles I would have picked "Frasier" and "Amazing Grace".
I've read [Tristram Shandy] in college, and while I'd have to refresh my recollection as to what it was about and, therefore, currently have no opinion as to whether or not it's the best comic novel ever written...
You might as well ask what Seinfeld was about.
I remain curious how an "unaccompanied" minor becomes unaccompanied at the border.
I have increasing confidence in my assertion that Andrew Cuomo has weathered the worst of the storm and will, at the very least, complete his term as governor. As Wretched the Cat tweets: Cuomo's approach to the attacks is instructive; never allow yourself to be bullied, nor cowed.
It helps that Cuomo is not facing a relentless press. Sure they took a few pokes a him, but you're right stevew, he will finish his term.
"Cuomo's approach to the attacks is instructive; never allow yourself to be bullied, nor cowed."
In other words, the Trump strategy.
MadTownGuy:
Thanks for the recommendation. "Bordertown" is next on my watch list.
I am here to report from the suburbs of Houston. Many of us think western civilization is good. Within 10 miles of my house there are probably 20 church-sponsored schools and private schools. My local suburban paper runs articles about them. One recent article showed a map. these schools rival public schools in number. Every evangelical church seems to have one, even tiny churches sponsor home-schooling groups and online academies with group activities. Over the last 20 years my own church's school, starting as a preschool program, has added grades every couple of years. Next fall we add 9th grade.
My former church in Iowa, within a network of other like-minded churches, sponsors what is essentially a college-level seminary.
Guv Blackface and Fairfax might give comfort to Cuomo in these trying times.
Biden prepared to chuck filibuster in historic push to re-engineer America, quickly
(Axios, via Yahoo.)
How does the Executive Branch control the rules in the Legislative Branch? Just negotiate elimination of those pesky checks and balances.
Fake President Biden’s DHS is dropping off two bus loads of illegal immigrants each week in Gila Bend AZ, population 1922.
Just dropping them off.
Never underestimate Joe's ability to f*ck things up.

Anybody who went to medical school with psychiatrists (as I did) knows 95% of them are crazy. This should be no surprise. Half my graduating class went into psychiatry.
Michael K, if you're still on board, could you comment on this? A large healthcare corporation that my daughter recently left told its providers on Monday that they will each have to see 49 patients per day!!! Her friend, an ARNP, emailed her and said she's already looking for another position. This is what happens when CEOs run health care. And it's only going to get worse.
“That all 10 victims were white is hardly surprising- Boulder, that land of diversity in the Rockies, is only 88% white.”
And a lot of that 12% are college athletes and grad students. Plus, they are no doubt the Asians who are there for engineering and science. CU has several Nobel Laureates in its Physics department (my kid did their 1st REU in that department, between sophomore and junior years, and got to meet them). Plus several highly ranked engineering departments. In grad school, my kid had a couple Asian women, out of maybe 10, in their research group. I think that one was a post-doc, and the other a grad student. Neither being US citizens, there were government funded projects that they couldn’t work on.
