The Crack Emcee म्हणाले...: Ann, I'm interested in your thoughts on Judge Joe Brown and the Stefanik Show. Care to share? I found his comments amusing and on-the-mark. Especially about how unattractive this all is to minorities, heading into an election year when blacks are finally considering leaving the left for Trump. Nobody wants to be with these fascists, even if it means their kids get "educated" by trans. They're THAT ugly.

As I say daily,...; ११/१२/२३, ७:४९ PM
wildswan म्हणाले...: I've been reflecting on free speech and the Three Witches at Congress and I think the problem is that when confronted with a difficult issue, they lawyered up. Here's the issue: How can we keep Jews at Harvard safe while allowing Muslims at Harvard who want them dead to express their wishes as the Constitution says they can. Leadership was required but we didn't see intellectual or moral leadership. We saw three cowardly women lawyering up, all but saying aloud, "CYA there's trouble coming." Look, anybody is entitled to go the lawyers but you can't fall silent AND at the same time be a leader. Lawyers always want you to be silent till your day in court. And that's an important right. But while you are silent, who is talking? Are you leading while you are silent. Maybe the Ivy League doesn't want to lead any more. That's what the three were saying. But someone must, the times require leadership, The abuse of the Jews must stop. Can a brilliant, moral leader come out of a Harvard infested by the bats of DEI? Does Harvard even want lead us all, including the Muslims, in taking the kind of stand that should have been taken against Hitler? Maybe not, maybe the Ivy League has become the Weasel League.; ११/१२/२३, ७:५५ PM

gadfly म्हणाले...: Long Covid will not go away, despite political efforts to downplay the Covid-19 epidemic.

"Long COVID is an often debilitating illness that occurs in at least 10% of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections. More than 200 symptoms have been identified with impacts on multiple organ systems. At least 65 million individuals worldwide are estimated to have long COVID, with cases increasing daily."

Left-wing journalist Ben Smith, now at Semafor, wrote a short piece today about Joe Biden's strangely out-of-touch performance at the White House Christmas Party. Interesting to see Team Left finding it impossible to unsee the diminished capacity.

& - What Ben Smith wrote was:

“Given the goodwill and the captive, well-fed audience, Wednesday’s party was also a prime opportunity for President Joe Biden to dispel his main problem with the U.S. media right now — the undercurrent of concern that he’s too old for the job. It was an opportunity to say, in some sense: Hey, you idiots, I may be old but I’m fine.”

It seems to me that that is a more sane comment than Donnie Trump's declaration, using demented logic, that he would be a dictator for just “one day” if he’s elected to a second term in the White House.; १२/१२/२३, ३:१३ AM
The Crack Emcee म्हणाले...: Judge Joe Brown said Elise Stefanik reminded him of this guy. I felt the same way, watching her. It's funny, sometimes, who the right feels proud to lead them.; १२/१२/२३, ३:२४ AM

The Crack Emcee म्हणाले...: I stand w Isreal. Leftists, Mullahs, Hamas-Palistinian terrorists can suck it said...

"Found some of your friends, Crack."

I love your "logic": after stealing everything they have, you've been - actually - killing those people for two months, without a care, but now you're scared of their claims to future - theoretical - deaths, so will use those as your new justification to kill even more. And you call them barbaric. You need to re-watch Star Wars:

"What do former FBI directors, former “intelligence authorities.” and the former Directors of National Intelligence and the CIA all have in common? They lied, often under oath, and always in service of weaponizing the government for political agendas."

"Liberal journalist Molly Ball, in her notorious Time essay, outlined what she called a “cabal” and “conspiracy” to destroy the 2020 Trump reelection campaign and indeed his presidency, through modulating Antifa/BLM protests, suppression of the news, and huge infusions of corporate money to augment or indeed absorb the work of the registrars in key states."

"What leaves an even worse taste is the clip that’s emerged in which a black woman says to another black character, “I’m asking for you to remember that if the world falls apart, trust should not be doled out easily to anyone, especially to white people – even mom would agree with me on that.”"

Humperdink म्हणाले...: I live in PA. Our church across the border in New State welcomes any and all attendees. We witness to the homeless, we support several outreaches to the homeless as our church is located in the area where they frequent.

Towards the end of our church service on Sunday, we were "blessed" with new two visitors who appeared to be homeless. There behavior was erratic and borderline frightening. Not being our first rodeo, several men are on high alert when this occurs. We pay particular attention to their hands, in case a weapon appears. I have been advised by a street smart member that most street people carry a knife for their protection. This particular situation was defused with a calm discussion.

The good governor, that would be Hochul, recently passed a law denying concealed carry in sensitive areas, which would include churches. The Commie Pinkos want us helpless. Idiots.; १२/१२/२३, ६:०४ AM
Jaq म्हणाले...: My guess is that the US is playing good cop, bad cop with Zelensky. He is facing a Dutch auction with this war, the longer he holds out, the less he walks away with, and he is the only one who doesn’t seem to get it. Republicans are happy to “take the blame” for ending this debacle, and Joe Biden needs a personally face saving off ramp. It seems overdetermined.; १२/१२/२३, ६:१७ AM

Humperdink म्हणाले...: So Amazon sent me a email regarding their new pharmacy. Tough decision. Who do I hate the least. CVS or Amazon? CVS bought out the local pharmacy and shut it down.

Drago म्हणाले...: Dumb Lefty Mark: "Tucker ditched Twitter today to launch his streaming shows independently, as Elon's team couldn't get a streaming solution working in time.

The 'everything app' lol"

LOL

Dunning-Kruger on parade...again!

Tucker wants to build out an entire network for himself based on his vision. Potentially going up against other networks. That requires a completely different animal to be constructed while still launching some content via X streaming.

Not that Dumb Lefty Mark understands that.

Spoiler: He doesnt!

Wechat is an everything app...does wechat host entire networks? Nope. Its all apps.

Cue sad trombone for Dumb Lefty Mark!

What IS part of the everything app vision?

A payments platform to rival PayPal. 12 states have already granted licenses to X for multiple financial services purposes and the plan is to have all 50 states and other territories locked down by end of FY2024. This vision was laid out a year ago along with the timeline...but Dumb Lefty Mark lacks the capability for retention of basic information.

Again, the capabilities planned include extracting funds to authenticated bank accounts as well as X-based high yield money market accounts.

All that in addition to the other apps being rolled out (linkedin competitor, for example).

All the while taking the time necessary to finish the complete and total teardown/rewrite of the gobbledygoop code from Dumb Lefty Mark's beloved Twitter 1.0 Moron Authoritarian censors because that code is useless moving forward!

Useless moving forward...just like Dumb Lefty Mark.; १२/१२/२३, ७:१९ AM

CVS bought out the local pharmacy and shut it down. Their service is is absolutely terrible. The behemoth Amazon has essentially shut down main street America, but at least they provide terrific service.

That "essentially" is carrying a lot of water. CVS purposely shuts down customer's options. Amazon provides 'terrific service' that main street can't match.

Not even close to the same.

It's like in my town where after Walmart and Box came, Brother's Grocery lost all their customers.

Forced out, shut down? No. Brothers was grimy with literal scum built up on the floors and had poor selection.

How do I know? Ramey's (been here for over 30yr) is still open and doing fine.; १२/१२/२३, ८:५४ AM

The Crack Emcee म्हणाले...: Before October 7, I was all excited to see the Holocaust movie called "The Zone of Interest." But now, the idea of watching a movie focusing on "the visual, idyllic world" created for certain families - while exterminating others in the prison next-door - sounds a little too much like current events, but with Zionists replacing the Nazis.

I've seen that movie now, in real life, so can totally skip seeing more of them.; १२/१२/२३, ९:४१ AM
The Crack Emcee म्हणाले...: Knowing what the Zionists are doing, I feel manipulated to have ever watched a Holocaust movie: they're just films, about Jews waiting for "their turn" to be horrible, now.; १२/१२/२३, ९:४४ AM
