gadfly said...: Near the end of Joe Rogan's 3-hour podcast with JFK Jr., when Kennedy, who believes his uncle, JFK, and his father were both assassinated by the CIA, suggested that he himself may be targeted by the organization. He told Rogan he takes “precautions” against the CIA, although it’s unclear what those might be.

Their conversation meandered through an orgy of unchecked vaccine misinformation, some conspiracy-mongering about 5G technology and Wi-Fi, and, of course, Rogan once again praised ivermectin, the fake cure for Covid.

“I was like, ‘Is this possible that this is the guy that’s telling the truth?’” Rogan asked, rhetorically.; 6/17/23, 12:41 PM

tim in vermont said...: It looks like the US killed the peace deal between Kiev and Moscow by promising Kiev new weapons and unlimited support. I don't know where Joe Biden gets the authority to commit the US to an unlimited duration war against Russia, but I guess Zelensky fell for it.

tim in vermont said...: Amid hundreds of wildfires in recent months, Royal Canadian Mounted Police have arrested arsonists in Nova Scotia, Yukon, British Columbia, and Alberta.

One Alberta resident, John Cook, was charged with 10 counts of arson after setting a string of wildfires in and around Cold Lake, a hamlet near Edmonton, local reports say.

So it's a movement, and the press is going along by blaming global warming. I remember a couple of years back, there was a string of wildfires out west that seemed to start at regular intervals on a particular north south highway over multiple states. It works too. Propaganda supplemented with psychological operations such as this is very powerful. Look at Charlottesville and J6.; 6/17/23, 5:40 PM

tim in vermont said...: Seems like patient zero in Wuhan was in the employ of the United States at the time working on "gain of function" research that Fauci used a redefinition of the term "gain of function" to get around legal prohibitions. This is why Fauci was re-assuring Trump early on that it would blow over quickly, like SARs did. He knew it was his handiwork.; 6/17/23, 7:18 PM

He's got the sads..but hopefully not SADS.; 6/17/23, 8:17 PM
Narr said...: For Fathers Day, I chose to go to a Midtown bbq place that has been there many years, but my
wife and I have never been to. Son lives a few blocks from the place and loves it, so we gave it a try. Pretty good--the BBQ Shop on Madison if you're in the neighborhood.

Son paid for it all--even for my brother's! That has never happened before, and he's 37.

He also recently got the shortest haircut he's ever had. We all agreed that long hair is gucking hot and he spends most of his day on the shop floor w/o a/c. Hard work and exercise have made him much more presentable--he got the burly genes available from us and got fat and flabby by his own choices.

Seeing him care about himself was a nice gift.; 6/17/23, 9:13 PM

Now that you mentioned it, I have not felt up to snuff ever since I started using Wi-Fi. Thank God Rogan and Junior enlightened me about this.; 6/18/23, 12:27 AM

And Andy McCarthy will write column after column explaining how the DOJ/FBI are proceeding cautiously and within the law while the GOPe-ers will say Trump brought it on himself and to "let the process play out".; 6/18/23, 12:44 AM

I'll always laugh that Hillary Clinton was fired from the Watergate investigation for unethical behavior.

One of the things Slick Clinton's wife advocated for was that in any impeachment proceedings Nixon should not be allowed to have legal representation. Note that that is what the Democrat thugs are trying to do to Trump, prevent any lawyers from representing him."; 6/18/23, 6:26 AM
