Wisconsin Secretary of State Doug La Follette Resigns

"Wisconsin’s longtime Democratic Secretary of State Doug La Follette abruptly resigned on Friday, saying he was leaving three months into his 11th consecutive term “to focus on my personal needs” after watching the office be stripped of its power over the past 50 years.

Gov. Tony Evers appointed former Treasurer Sarah Godlewski, who ran unsuccessfully for U.S. Senate last year, to fill out the four-year term. Wisconsin’s secretary of state has not been in charge of elections since 1974 and has almost no official duties.

“After many years of frustration, I’ve decided that I don’t want to spend the next three and a half years trying to run an office without adequate resources and staffing levels,” the 82-year-old La Follette said in his resignation letter.

Video Claim: Trump's plane landed at Washington DC (9 days ago) allegedly after Biden left DC heading to Philly.

Trump wants to be seen in handcuffs. It will solidify his position as a political martyr. Can’t be the Ds are dumb enough to do this.

Somewhere there are drivers for my 3D printer, but they are not in my computer. (sigh) 3 hours shot to hell.
That Biden guy is a real jerk.

An uncommon late (for this place) Sattidy night opportunity to be the first to write on the Prof's wall--and I got nothing much to say.

Finally began the Slingerland book about Mankind's long history of better living through chemistry ("Drunk"). Erudite and witty, a pleasure to read, and very much in line with my own long-held opinion that getting fucked up is a feature, not a bug.

Video: CNN’s Burnett admits that evidence of Chinese funneling money to Biden family ‘doesn’t look good’

Trump's arrest might be a distraction from Chinese money and the Bidens story.

It begins. Thankfully. Treat them like the tobacco companies.

"A teenager (now 18) is suing a health care company and the doctors who put her on controversial puberty-blocking drugs at age 12 and removed her healthy breasts in a double-mastectomy surgery when she was just 13 years old, accusing them of “intentional fraud and concealment.”

Why doesn't Trump pivot to realization deep State/Pharm rolled him? Why does he not even appear on perpetual cheer channels like Warroom?

"I have a personal faith in Jesus Christ, who died on a cross for my sins and, in response, asks me to love everyone and to follow Him.

I have no hate in my heart for anyone and I have always strived to treat everyone that I encounter with respect and kindness.

“In this specific instance, I am choosing not to endorse something that is counter to my personal convictions which are based on the Bible, the highest authority in my life."

What are you asking them for? Ask Trump.

I don't know if it's real or not, but there's a Reddit thread on how new higher-end Samsung phones use AI to enhance photos of the moon. This isn't by standard means but by using build in hi-res data of what the AI thinks the moon should look like (bad summary by me). The redittor claims that they downloaded, blurred, and then printed out a picture of the moon. They then took a photo of that printout. The phone made it look like a higher res picture, which is impossible to do by legitimate means.

Three major banks gone in a week and Credit Suisse going, going, gone across the pond. If it's forced into UBS merger, a possible 10,000 jobs could be lost, I am reading. How many more banks still to go? Why did major American banks put so much money into saving Republic?

Maybe Ben Bernanke's policies did not save the universe after all.

Democrats were not the only people who Trump upended. Trump is unpredictable.

These people cannot understand how an actual leader looks compared to a lifetime politician. They just cannot envision a world outside of what they know.

They know so much they can’t learn anymore.

Let me see if I got this straight.

1. Government shuts down economy due to the “pandemic” bankrupting businesses and putting millions out of work.

2. Government doles out trillions in funny money to mitigate the effects of item 1 above.

3. Federal reserve in reaction to and in support of 1 and 2 above, reduces banks reserve requirement to historically low levels, even briefly into negative numbers (which I didn’t think was mathematically possible).

4. Banks respond by making lots and lots of loans backed by almost no reserves. (I should note that banks run by actual bankers resisted this trend and kept their reserves at more prudent levels)

5. Along came the entirely predictable inflation caused by items 1 and 2.

6. Federal Reserve responds by increasing reserve requirements back to pre-pandemic levels and a little bit more.

7. Banks that fell for item 3 by making lots and lots of loans suddenly find themselves catastrophically short of reserves and go bankrupt.

8. Government predictably responds to item 7 by bailing them out with even more trillions in funny money, thus hamstringing the Feds ability to control inflation.

9. Hilarity ensues.

I can't comprehend people who can't learn. Who aren't curious. Who think right or wrong is a matter of political philosophy rather than objective truth.

Went to Safeway this morning to get a dozen grade AA eggs. The entire egg section was empty but for 6 cartons of grade B eggs. I bought one carton, and now there are only 5 cartons.

On the topic of lefties mind reading Trump, I am reading Edward J Epstein's book, "Assume Nothing" and he describes his first meeting with Nixon, long he retired. He found Nixon to be charming and very sympathetic. He had written a book about Nixon and Watergate and this Nixon was nothing like he had described him. "How could I have gotten Nixon so wrong?"

The hatred helped, just as it does with Trump.
