A doule-whom error in the midday radio news

"Bond is set for a nineteen year old man whom police say shot and killed another man whom he said was breaking into cars."

The weather forecast for the Tokul plateau (N. of Snoqualmie, elevation 600-ft MSL) is for snow starting on Wednesday (1/2-in) followed by 4-in, 9-in (Friday), 9-in, 5-in (Sunday), 2-in, 4-in, 4-in (Wednesday). Then rain. I have my final cataract follow-up appointment on Friday, may have to reschedule.

I've positioned the snow blower and the gasoline at the front of the shed for use next week.

So much for the global warming hoax. Scandinavia is a experiencing deep freeze with temperatures of -40F. Their electric busses have to be parked indoors and are useless in the cold. There's no engine waste heat to heat the passenger compartment like you'd get from a diesel engine.

We have a heat-pump/electric water heater. The compressor's probably failed after little more than a year and a half. I'm arranging warranty service, it'll pay for parts, but not labor. These heat pump water heaters are far more complex than a gas/propane heaters. Our so-called leaders think heat pumps are the appliances of the future. What idiots.

National Whipped cream day today. According to the OED, before it was called whipped cream, it was called milk snow.

WI Governor Tony Evers is such a beta cuck... Jeffrey Epstein would have refused him a visit to his island.

Imagine the people who thought they were elite enough and lobbied for an invitation to the island but were turned down or never got a response. It's like the losers who wait in line outside a bullshit night club, and the profile bouncers won't let them in.

I'm sure the Epstein list is very long. But the rejection list is longer. That's just human nature.

George Soros back Milwaukee DA John Chilsom announced today he will not seek re-election. The city has gone to shit under his tenure, and he harassed Scott Walker and his supporters under bullshit John Doe investigations.

His legacy will continue. Rest assured Milwaukee will elect somebody worse, and Madison will continue to pretend to care about Milwaukee and deny its rapid decline.

Trajectories aren't that hard to follow. Expect in the stock market where congress can insider trade.

Badger hockey men win a hard-fought game against Notre Dame, 2 - 1. They are now 17 - 4. New coach Mike Hastings turned the program around the day he walked in the door. Amazing demonstration that coaching matters.

Weather in Arizona is ghastly. Next week may see highs (yes HIGHS) in the 40s, lows below freezing. It's the end of the world as we know it. We've had the heat on for three weeks.

If Dec 7, 1941 "is a day that will live in infamy", how will we remember Jan 6, 2020?

The day that truth died? The day that Jounalism died? The day that justice died?

Maybe Don McLean could write a song about it...

Three years after the fact, are American citizens still locked up without being charged? What happened to the right to a speedy trial? Who among the prisoners commited a violent act? Are these Americans being treated with care and respect equal to that accorded prisoners held in Gitmo'?

Is our woke news media even slightly curious about any aspect of this?

How about calling your congress critter's office and demanding hearings and permitting live TV coverage.

McManaman is charged with assisting in a forgery of documents transferring property from an elderly relative with dementia to herself and an accomplice"

From a Hamas 7th Century Death Cult Fanboy "Li'l Crack-y perspective, the only remaining question has to be: How many Zionists were involved in setting up this Proud Woman of Color?

Weather in Arizona is delightful. Next week may see highs (yes HIGHS) in the 40s, lows below freezing. It's the first pleasant weather since last April. We haven't run the AC in months!

Oh yeah, bonus points for Arizona weather. I can run at any time from morning to night. No more getting up at 3:45am to beat the heat!

Are you listening to yourself? @JoeBiden @POTUS Do you hear the hate in your voice?
I'll grant I haven't heard everything you've said, so maybe I missed it. But, have you talked this passionately about the masses of people, we know nothing about, crossing our border illegally?

When you have a President who blatantly lies, and invokes rage and hate...maybe it is HE who should be removed. 2 people died on January 6th...and they were Trump supporters murdered by the Capitol police. For this ingrate to lie again for the millionth time, and no media calls him out is outrageous. I hope he suffers in hell.

Let me take a stab at that radio report from WTVN 610.

James Bond 007 is transporting back to England a nineteen year man whom police say shot and killed another man, whom the nineteen year old said was stealing James Bond’s original Aston Martin DB5.

The temporary name for the movie is ‘For whom Big Ben only told twice’

James Woods on X, responds to Joe Biden:

Joe's tweet:
"You can't be pro-insurrection and pro-America."

Woods' response:
"Well, actually George Washington was the most famous and successful insurrectionist in world history.

And insurrection was the actual foundation of America.

But, of course, facts have never been your friends, have they?"

Looks like the GOPe-ers are moving methodically and expeditiously to ensure dems take over the House of Representatives in the coming months prior to the election this effectvely shutting down all investigations into the dems, ensuring the House will not entertain challenges to clear election fraud and, best of all from a dem/GOPe perspective, another "snap" post-Prssidency sham-peachment prior to election in the heat of the summer!

Gee, I wonder why that might be?

Just think of it as typical GOPe Failure Theater on a massive scale now that the jig is pretty much up.

I cant wait to see how the Usual suspects blame Trump and also for the GOPe-ers that remain in the House to relaunch their old fundraising messaging of "gee, we cant do anything to stop the dems policies without a republican majority so help us by donating lots and lots of your dwindling cash to our crack team (not THAT Crack!) of beltway consultants to defeat the dems that we previously voted with all the time! This time we pinky swear to really represent the republican base voters and not our dem-aligned pro-globalist America Last Donors!"

"Like the Jacobins of revolutionary France, leftist elites in America were diabolically prepared to use mob violence to advance their presidential ambitions in the mad year of 2020. Indeed, the very first protesters at the White House gates the Friday following George Floyd’s May 25 death in Minneapolis were calling for President Donald Trump’s resignation.

Protesting soon turned into rioting. That evening, anxious Secret Service agents ushered the president and his family into an underground bunker. The rioting resumed on Saturday and grew more serious. Rioters tried to push through security barriers, damaged six Secret Service vehicles, and threw bricks, rocks, fireworks, bottles, and other objects at Secret Service personnel. In some instances, they kicked, punched, and threw bodily fluids at the officers. By Sunday morning, 60 of the officers had been injured."

Arizonians: 40 is not freezing. Try below zero. At 40, you don't need heat either. You put on a few sweater layers and some mukluks. That white stuff you see on the ground, is actually not snow. It's frost, at 40. Actual snow doesn't appear until at least 20 and below.

Sen. John Fetterman: "As an alum of Harvard — look, I graduated 25 years ago, and of course it was always a little pinko," Fetterman told Semafor this week. "But now, I don’t recognize it."

Holy cow, it appears the lefties who pushed this character through campaign and into the senate have created an uncontrollable monster. Watch for Schumer to try to silence him.

In a Friday night news dump, the Pentagon reported Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was hospitalized Monday for complications for a previous medical procedure*.

"Barbara Starr, a former Pentagon correspondent for CNN, said in a thread on X that the “lack of disclosure that Sec Def was ill is a huge strategic failure. As of tonight I do not see a way forward for believing the Pentagon tells the truth on anything. No kidding.


* There is no truth to the rumor the medical procedure was gender reassignment surgery.

VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) reports of death by age as of Nov. 3 2023 normalized to CDC data;

0-4 yrs - 239
5-11 yrs - 143
12-17 yrs - 178
18-24 yrs - 161
25-39 yrs - 268
40-49 yrs - 316
50-64 yrs - 318
65-74 yrs - 365
75 plus - 348

VAERS ABSOLUTE COUNT COVID-19
1,587,079

The above count represents the total number of foreign and domestic reports per VAERS ID as per mono and bivalent products. It is important for the public to know just how many people have filed adverse event reports to VAERS in the context of these products. The average total number of people who have filed adverse event reports per year - for ALL VACCINES COMBINED for the past 30 years - is ~39,000.

Bivalent COVID19-2 products that started to be reported to VAERS as of September 17th, 2022.
PLEASE REMEMBER: COUNTS ARE ESTIMATES

https://www.jessicasuniverse.com/

Unfortunately, we can never really know how many people are suffering from adverse events. Reports can go missing, reports can remain in temporary VAERS ID limbo, or never get filed in the first place.

The heartbreak story of the year, so far. The Washington Post is losing subscribers, clicks and dollars. It's losing $100,000,000 a year, clicks are down 57% from four years ago, now 60 million/month.

Go woke, go broke.

Why does the Pentagon have a Major General as a press secretary? Just as sign of the bloated military general officer corps. No wonder the Pentagon can't win any wars. The press secretary should be a civilian.

Wisconsin village of Big Bend voted to dissolve its police force in favor of the county sheriff. That didn't go over very well with the citizens, so they reversed the vote. But nearly half of the department told the board to stick it where the sun don't shine and resigned. All to save a little money.

Big Bend is just a small version of Portland or Seattle. Go woke, go broke.
