BG said...: I heard the weather person at noon say something about the amount of sun we've had lately. Apparently we haven't had a full day of sun (in southern Wisconsin) for two weeks. No wonder my sinuses are killing me and I'm feeling rather out of sorts. I could never handle living in Alaska.; 1/5/23, 5:06 PM

Trump supporters are rooting for him. So are DeSantis supporters.

This is a worthy fight for Speaker.; 1/5/23, 7:20 PM

study of Wisconsin’s voter rolls found 45,000 such occurrences involving people who were living out of state in the Nov. 3 ballot, with another 107,000 documented instances on the part of voters who moved to another address within the state and cast a ballot in a different jurisdiction from the one in which they actually reside.
“That’s over 150,000 votes cast in the 2020 presidential election that cannot be tied to a valid address,” said Bernegger. “That’s illegal in the state of Wisconsin.
Former Wisconsin resident Jacob Alldredge, a 27-year-old industrial engineer living in Tennessee, is a case in point.

“I was outraged to learn that the Wisconsin state voter roll shows that I voted in person at the polls on Nov. 3, 2020, when the fact is I was living, registered to vote, and voted in Tennessee. I was not in Wisconsin that day,” he told The Epoch Times.
Examining the state voter roll for the town of Delavan, in Walworth County, Sandy Alldredge was shocked to see that her son Jacob was listed as having voted in person at the polling place on Nov. 3, 2020—something she knew first-hand to be impossible; 1/5/23, 8:20 PM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: sounds like YouTube forced Dr Campbell to take down a video I linked to yesterday, critical of the so called covid vaccines

The video was a pre-print study claiming to show the more vax shots people got the more the likelihood of covid infection they got.; 1/5/23, 8:41 PM

150,000 Votes In The 2020 Election Not Tied To A Valid Address In Wisconsin

From The Atlantic: Epoch Times, the newspaper, whose revenues have quadrupled in the Trump years, has used every opportunity to call Biden’s victory into doubt. It has interviewed promoters of election-related falsehoods ad nauseam and eagerly publicized the January 6 Trump rally that turned into an insurrection at the Capitol. Even after the violence of January 6, The Epoch Times has continued to publicize doubts about the outcome of the presidential election.; 1/5/23, 10:16 PM
Creola Soul said...: LA says they’re not going to allow people to tailgate at the Monday night CFB playoff game. Gimme a break…they’ve got people living on the streets, shooting up in public, defecating on the streets….none of which they enforce. And they’re going to arrest tailgaters? GMAFB!; 1/5/23, 10:34 PM

Saint Croix said...: South Carolina Supreme Court strikes down South's Carolina's 6 week abortion ban

That's the heartbeat law.

What the media won't tell you -- and the Republicans won't tell you, and the Democrats won't tell you -- there's no way to enforce a conception ban.

Nobody knows when conception happens! Except God.

Conception is utterly mysterious. I don't care how many pro-lifers yell at me, if you want to outlaw Plan B (which is the chemical equivalent of swallowing two birth control bills) you're basically outlawing a lot of conception. The more pro-lifers rant about conception, the more Democrats can hide their infanticides.

Do not get stuck on conception!; 1/6/23, 1:39 AM
Saint Croix said...: I beg pro-lifers to think about infanticide. I know it's fucking mean and upsets people. Those are the abortions we need to stop, period. I'd like to stop all abortions. But those early, early abortions can be minimized or stopped by reminding people of our duty to loving children, and by getting the fucking dishonest media to talk about infanticide.

Focus on the baby murder in your discussions about abortion. Gut check for Republican pussies. Don't be John Roberts!

Remind every human being that the unborn are a part of our human family, and are entitled to protection from infanticide. But infanticide (i.e. prosecuting a doctor or a mother or a father for killing a baby) has to be proven in a court of law. Okay? And to prove it you need to prove stuff like "the baby was alive" and stuff like that. You need biological criteria (brain activity or heartbeat).

Rip the shit out of arbitrary and oblivious and glib fucking liberals who keep using a week count. "6 weeks" or "8 weeks" or "20 weeks." These glib and shitty people talk about abortion like they are planning a vacation and need time to schedule it. Focus specifically on the biological criteria and mock the fuck out of the "day planner" fuckers who don't give a shit about infanticide. I care! And I know many of you do, too.; 1/6/23, 1:40 AM
Saint Croix said...: Remember that people who have had abortions are terrified that they have committed a crime.

They have not!

We are not allowed to criminalize behavior retroactively.

Our Constitution forbids ex post facto law in the states and the federal government. If you had an abortion in 1992 you are free as a bird, don't worry about any criminal charge. It was legal then! New criminal statutes only outlaw actions going forward, not backward.; 1/6/23, 1:44 AM

gadfly said...: George Santos almost missed some votes yesterday. He was busy rummaging through coats and purses in the cloakroom.

Matt Gaetz’s future sister-in-law, Roxanne Luckey, appears to have had enough of his pedophilia. She attacked him on 3 TikTok videos in the last two days slamming him as “weird and creepy” and “a literal pedophile.”

Unsurprisingly, Gaetz began the GOP's votes for Donald John Trump as Speaker - gamesmanship for one perv from another.; 1/6/23, 2:06 AM

Rit said...: The camera is probably set in AWB (auto white balance) mode. This can causes a massive shift in tone. Many cameras have presets like daylight, shade, sunset, tungsten, etc. that would ameliorate such radical shifts.; 1/6/23, 6:55 AM

Nobody said...: While I don't always understand your posts Ms. Althouse, I always enjoy seeing your dawn photos, and love the juxtaposition of these two taken moments apart! The visual representation of a gestalt shift in mood over time...the ethereal blue sky under first light transforming the world before your very eyes when the sun moves high enough above the horizon and you see things in their true light. Here in NM we like to say that if you don't like the weather, wait 10 minutes and it will be different. Such is the impermanence of life.
