Mike of Snoqualmie said...: I had the first cataract (right eye) replaced on Monday. Piece of cake. It took 3-hrs overall from arrival to departure. Lot of hurry-up-and-wait. Their office computers were done, so that slowed things down. They triple dilated the eye; the dilation didn't wear off until the next day. Once they started treatment, it was only about 15-minutes. I had the eye put to sleep, so I didn't feel a thing.; 11/29/23, 6:54 PM
madAsHell said...: Rover Group Inc., an online marketplace in the fast-growing market for pet-care services, soared after agreeing to be acquired by Blackstone Inc. in a $2.3 billion all-cash deal, the companies said Wednesday.

Mutaman said...: “Judge Engoron’s Trump Hating wife, together with his very disturbed and angry law clerk, have taken over control of the New York State Witch Hunt Trial aimed at me, my family, and the Republican Party,” Trump wrote to his followers. “This is such an embarrassment to all within the New York State Judicial System, as murder and violent crime rage like never before!”

Iman said...: ‘The son of a Hamas co-founder recorded himself on video granting Israel “permission” to assassinate all of the terrorist organization’s leaders, including his own father, if all hostages are not released within a specific period of time.

Mosab Hassan Yousef, the 45-year-old son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, recommended Israel give Hamas a set timeframe to release all the remaining hostages, after which Israel should assassinate the terror group’s leadership.

“Israel cannot continue like this,” he said in a ten-minute video posted to X on Tuesday. “Hamas must have a timeframe – a month or two or six months – to return the hostages and if they don’t return the hostages within the time frame, Israel must execute top Hamas leaders in prison, especially the mass murderers.”

“When I say execute top leaders, I mean no exceptions, that includes my own father,” the son added, wishing he didn’t save his father’s life numerous times ten to 15 years ago. “He was supposed to die for his actions. I saved his life. Things did not change, things got worse.” ‘

You were a unique character on the political scene.

I recall him saying about Harvard that University politics were so petty precisely because the stakes are so small; 11/29/23, 8:12 PM
Narr said...: Get your AARP discount to see the Stones. The irony drips.

The more I see and learn about the Napoleon epic the queasier I feel. The parts of the trailers that I hope aren't supposed to represent certain incidents, apparently represent exactly those incidents. A hot mess.

RIP Henry the K.; 11/29/23, 8:33 PM
Kakistocracy said...: Kissinger was neither as great as his defenders thought nor as awful as his haters did. And, in fact, he wasn't actually a great historian. But he definitely had an impact on the world in a way few people have. A very interesting character, once one gets beyond the hype and hate. To be fair, he did a couple of good things in a life otherwise (some may say) deserving of condemnation:

Soviet detente and the resulting arms control agreements
Secretly opening relations with China
Camp David Accords (resulted in peace between Israel and Egypt)

Worth remembering he was basically working right up to almost the end with his consultancy, even if he had dialed it back a bit. Rosalind Carter, who also passed away this month, was also close to 100 years old. On that basis Biden might well have twenty useful years ahead of him. As might Mick Jagger, being as they are the same age.; 11/29/23, 8:55 PM

Lem Vibe Bandit said...: I've been puzzling over a billboard sign facing northbound on I85, coming out of ATL.

What could a sign that says, No ID, No Dispensary.

I mean, I know the literal meaning of the sign; what I was puzzling over was the ramifications, what could it mean in the long view scheme of things.

Could it mean that we take better care to make sure WHO can smoke weed, than WHO actually votes in elections?

In that light, wouldn't it be easy to justify a steal? Like taking candy from... former president Jimmy Carter.; 11/29/23, 10:20 PM

wildswan said...: A young boy had his face painted in the NFL Chiefs' colors - red and black - while at a Chiefs game. the boy is part tribal and, of course, tribal warriors painted their faces before going to war and one side of the war paint design on the boys face was black. He was accused of racism by a reporter from the Gotcha Brigade trying to score bonus racism points for his career. So predictable. I hope his mother sues.

gadfly said...: Disobeying the court yet again, a court-ordered auditor has caught Donald Trump moving $40 million from the Trump Organization into the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust bank account — from which a whopping $29 million was paid for taxes owed.

Just another way to deplete cash assets residing in New York State ahead of his business shutdowns which will likely require $250 million from instate assets to be paid to the state. I think that he will have to dip into his MAGA-provided funds instead, so dumb donors and the RNC will again be asked to give, give give!; 11/29/23, 11:59 PM

gadfly said...: The group, "No Labels," hasn't made a final decision on whether or not to launch a third-party challenge, which Democratic critics argue could throw the election to former President Trump. But Wall Street wants neither and that is the source of campaign financing. So what is the answer? Is it time for Teddy Roosevelt II?

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban should "jump center" as the Presidential candidate for this third party. It appears that something is brewing in his brilliant mind. He is selling the Mavs and abandoning his TV stint on ABC's "Shark Tank" after 16 seasons. But he denies that he wants to run for President for a third party and he dislikes both major parties. And he is not and never has been a politician. He has reached retirement age but he is always into something.

Cuban is libertarian and into all things Ayn Rand. That should appeal to so-called MAGA conservatives and certainly to us real conservatives in search of less government bureaucracy. Why should smart liberal Democrats want Cuban? Because Biden isn't going to make it for five more years. The presidency kills and someone who can beat Trump is what they need. Mark Cuban and Liz Cheney sound like the winning ticket to me.; 11/30/23, 4:25 AM
wendybar said...: The Left Wing Nazi's with their swastikas and burning police officer hats were out in force last night in NYC at the annual Christmas tree lighting, showing America just how much they hate it. If you think this is peaceful, then just wait until Trump wins the election.

Makes you wonder WHY the FBI is looking for people who like Trumps tweets instead of going after these thugs who want to destroy America as fast as they can.

One need look no further than the rotting polyester sleeping bags and tents, or mounds of trash and plastic water bottles, littering the desertscape of Saguaro National Park; the fragile flora species trampled underfoot in Big Bend National Park; or the undergarments hung in the “rape trees” of Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument."

wendybar said...: "And yet while all historical indications point to what ought to be virtually a guaranteed Trump victory in 2024, many Republicans choose to remain dubious; not just dubious but actively engaged in sabotaging GOP chances, as if they themselves would rather will Trump’s defeat than his victory.

Consequently, while 2024 can’t come soon enough it may also come too soon if Republicans continue to both inexplicably deny Trump’s ability to win and actively undermine it by searching for and even manufacturing reasons to hate Trump."

iowan2 said...: gadfly

Got any thoughts on why the defense portion of the trial has received zero reporting?

Maybe because Deutschabank testified its not uncommon for the lender to ignore submitted valuations or just randomly reducing the valuations. They testified they were not defrauded.
Micheal Cohen testified Donald Trump never requested he reduce, or increase valuations.

Strange yes? Wall to wall reporting when the prosecution presented all their witnesses. Zero when the facts get presented.

All the facts expose this as nothing but political persecution.; 11/30/23, 5:25 AM

According to Israeli police, the shooting was carried out by two Hamas terrorists who drove to the Givat Shaul junction on the outskirts of the Holy City in an armed vehicle and opened fire on unsuspecting victims standing there. Police responded to the bus stop at around 7:40 a.m. local time.

The three deceased victims of the shooting attack in Jerusalem were identified as 73-year-old Rabbi Elimelech Wasserman, 67-year-old Hana Ifergan, and 24-year-old Livia Dickman.

Israeli police said the two shooters, who were from east Jerusalem, were shot and killed by Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers in the area. A civilian was also shot and killed during the exchange.

Israeli media said the shooters were brothers and associated with Hamas.”
