Based on everything I read and see in the news today, I think the end is coming near.

It is time that we not speak falsely.

Jupiter said...: I want to talk about Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS). What is SADS? SADS is the name the Pharmants have come up with to make it sound like the vaccine isn't killing tens of thousands of people. They aren't dying of vaccine side effects, you see, they're dying of SADS. What causes SADS? Gosh, it's hard to say. We can't think of anything that has changed in the last couple years. People just starting dying. Adult people, that is. Young ones, in many cases. Suddenly. Unexpectedly. Mysteriously!; 6/14/22, 7:49 PM

Iman said...: Anticipating a five day visit with our firstborn son, DIL and grandkids. Really have to energize as I’ve never seen more active kids.

My wife and I feel so blessed, as most of our married friends don’t have any and aren’t optimistic about their future prospects. And the visit will test my abilities… after dealing with extreme pain in my shoulders and difficulty just walking (until I’m warmed up, then it’s easier), I was diagnosed with arthritis in both shoulders. Never knew the condition was as painful as I had and it definitely increased my admiration and respect for Fred Sanford. 😁; 6/14/22, 8:20 PM
Lucien said...: Gay, Black MSNBC reporter Jonathan Capeheart was interviewing the owner of the Pulse nightclub, and asked a question along the lines of, "Isn't it hard to discuss the mass shooting at your club in a state in which you aren't even allowed to say the word 'Gay'?"
Perhaps he was wearing is "Hands Up. Don't Shoot" t-shirt under his suit. (Or "Hiss was innocent").; 6/14/22, 8:45 PM
Lucien said...: Some long ago Democrat focus group must have found that "Weapons of WAR!!!" polled well among Second Amendment opponents.
Yes. The right is to keep and bear "arms" -- namely, things you can kill people with. Not a right to hunt, or a right, to target shoot, but a right to keep and bear arms. Nor could one go about developing a militia whose members were restricted to keeping and bearing fowling pieces.
Whatever the average infantryman of the day carries as a primary weapon ought to be within the scope of the right.; 6/14/22, 8:52 PM

Big Mike said...: According to a survey by WalletHub.com, after ten years of Tony Evers presiding over Wisconsin's education system as Superintendent of Public Education and an additional two and half years of Tony Evers as Governor, Wisconsin continues to have the widest black-white education gap among all fifty states. In fact, the gap between Wisconsin, in dead last, and Minnesota, next to last, is not particularly narrow. Interestingly, the two best states, in terms of equality of education between blacks and whites, are deep red Wyoming and deep red West Virginia.

I will let others draw the obvious conclusion.; 6/14/22, 10:37 PM

Well. Obvious? Do you suppose there might be some sort of a difference between the blacks who move to Wyoming, and the blacks who moved to Wisconsin when it advertised the highest Welfare payments in the nation, back in the 70's? There weren't a lot of blacks in Wisconsin, before that. Pretty soon, there won't be many whites. Althouse? How long do you expect to remain in Wisconsin? Nice place to visit ...; 6/14/22, 11:03 PM
Gospace said...: Yesterday I posted a link o fiber clots- which may be a factor (as in likely are a factor) in SADS, Sudden Adult Death Syndrome, as referenced by Jupiter above. Well, Walter chestnut today posted on substack today that Quercetin by itself but even better with Curcumin are likely therapeutic against the fibrils.

I already have both of them in my daily supplement list, since apparently they also are protective against the dreaded covid. Which in my unvaccinated state I have yet to contract as triple vaxxed (or more) PMs and treasury secretaries get multiple cases.

Of course if you were to ask me how I've managed to avoid the dreaded covid with multiple close exposures as defined by the CDC, I would give the primary credit to daily nasal irrigation with a mix that includes both xylitol and erythritol. Something I started over a decade ago to combat allergies, and coincidentally, about that time, I stopped needing to go to the doctor for prescription antihistamines twice a year. Well, not really coincidentally. I added xylitol to the mix about March 2017- the first time my Amazon order history shows I ordered it. Erythritol was added during the covidiocy.

Funny thing I'm going to note. Spellcheck still flags covid as misspelled, underlining it in red, but not covidiocy.; 6/15/22, 12:02 AM
Lem the artificially intelligent said...: Headline : "Why more Black people are looking for safety in gun ownership"

Oh, oh. Could you picture a historically low approvals Biden pulling a Sister Souljah moment? Very risky. It could backfire, if he tried it. He would need a 2nd Amendment strawperson of color to... rebuke. Can't think if such a person, within the Dems ranks, even exists.

Google: "A Sister Souljah moment is a politician's calculated public repudiation of an extremist person, statement, group or position that is perceived to have some association with the politician's own party." That was brought to us by peak performative Bill Clinton.; 6/15/22, 12:02 AM
StephenFearby said...: Iman said:

"...after dealing with extreme pain in my shoulders and difficulty just walking (until I’m warmed up, then it’s easier), I was diagnosed with arthritis in both shoulders. Never knew the condition was as painful as I had..."

The wife has osteoarthritis and her mother had two knee replacements (runs in her family). Since she had her first symptoms back in the late 1990's its been kept in check (but not when she tries to skip her supplements for a week or two without telling me)...with a combination of Glucosamine Sulfate (NOT Glucosamine Chloride) and Chondroitin Sulfate. Later added Hyaluronic acid (not the injections) and MSM (methylsulfonylmethane). All based on reports in the scientific literature.

About three months of so I persuaded (threatened) her also to take PQQ (pyrroloquinoline quinone) -- otherwise, the Strassbourg Goose funnel would come out). It has definitely helped her.

PQQ is a little-known but remarkable vitamin-like supplement with MANY interesting properties. Currently, About 33,700 hits in Google Scholar.

The Google Scholar search for:"PQQ" AND "osteoarthritis" OR "rheumatoid arthritis" yields
about 371 hits. The first two are:

Pyrroloquinoline quinone decelerates rheumatoid arthritis progression by inhibiting inflammatory responses and joint destruction via modulating NF-κB and MAPK

Pyrroloquinoline quinone prevents knee osteoarthritis by inhibiting oxidative stress and chondrocyte senescence

Both in mice or rat models. But there's also this 2021 obesity mouse study:

Pyrroloquinoline Quinone Attenuates Fat Accumulation in Obese Mice Fed with a High-Fat Diet, Daphnia magna Supplied with a High Amount of Food, and 3T3-L1 Adipocytes

... that mirrors MY OWN EXPERIENCE after taking PQQ (20 mg twice a day). After 3 or 4 months, I went down from 223 to 202 pounds without a change in diet or exercise...while continuing to dip (cut-up) slices of the delicious NYC She Wolf Bakery seeded rye bread in extra-virgin unfiltered olive oil (which has a tremendous amount of calories).

MadTownGuy said...: Wolf urges Pennsylvanians to apply for transportation assistance

"HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) — Officials from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and Department of Human Services (DHS) are urging Pennsylvania residents to utilize “Find My Ride” to learn about public transit options.

“Transit provides a vital connection to jobs, to medical appointments, and to our communities,” said PennDOT Deputy Secretary for Multimodal Transportation Jennie Louwerse. “We urge Pennsylvanians to try transit, and we’re excited that it’s now easier to access these services.”

Back a few months it seemed to me that there would come a push toward more use of public transit - never mind that it's an ideal environment for contagion - and now with gas at about $5/gallon in our state, here it is.; 6/15/22, 7:16 AM
Mike of Snoqualmie said...: I spend yesterday afternoon digging a trench for the permanent power hook up for our house. I'd started the trench the day before, and yesterday dug it to about 3-ft deep. The soil is sandy-loam, so it doesn't take much effort to break it up, unlike the clay soil of our old house in Bellevue. It just takes some down-strokes to break it up, then horizontal scoops to remove it from the trench.

The trench needs to be at least 3-ft deep because that's the radius of conduit bend. The trench will have to be even deeper to get the conduit underneath a 8" drain tube.

I was finishing removing the last of the dirt from the trench when one of the walls collapsed into the trench where my electrician was working on the meter-box. I'll be heading back this morning to finish digging. Once the conduit is in, Puget Sound Energy will come out a couple of business days later to transfer the power from the temporary power panel.; 6/15/22, 7:32 AM

Marc in Eugene said...: Following at SCOTUSblog earlier, someone's comment included the word 'chink' (as in the phrase chink in the armor); apparently, that instance of a word also used as a derogation is acceptable in polite society still (unlike e.g. niggard). It's from the noun 'chine', attested in Aelfred's Boetii Consolatio Philosophiae c 888, having nothing to do with anything re China or persons Chinese; it meant a crack, split, fissure etc. The etymology of the derogatory word seems to be uncertain (per Wikipedia) but it looks as if the acceptable and the unacceptable words are entirely different in their origins and development.

In February 2012, ESPN fired one employee and suspended another for using the headline "Chink in the Armor" in reference to Jeremy Lin, an American basketball player of Taiwanese and Chinese descent. While the word chink also refers to a crack or fissure and chink in the armor is an idiom and common sports cliché, referring to a vulnerability, the "apparently intentional" double entendre of its use in reference to an Asian athlete was viewed as offensive.

This is why I try to limit my use of the Internet.; 6/15/22, 10:30 AM

TheOne Who Is Not Obeyed said...: " Wisconsin has the eighth-best public schools in the U.S."

NAEP says otherwise. NAEP for WI

Over most categories in the NAEP the state continues to improve - but the majority of the improvements occurred during the Walker administration. Nothing has budged the black-white gap in WI, though. Probably because most blacks live in jurisdictions run by Democrats, who have no interest in improving the results of public education for blacks.

And the SAT cannot be used to compare across states due to highly variable participation rates. In WI only 3% of students take the SAT, and in MN only 4%. So you can compare WI and MN since they have similar rates, but you can't compare WI with, say FL which has all students take the SAT in the appropriate year.
