Sprezzatura said...: DJT is up big time in the RCP betting thing-y!

So if getting to a tie deserved a post a little while back, I bet we all know what Althouse will be posting tomorrow. If not that at least at home there will be vibes of joy.; 10/7/24, 6:41 PM

Jimi Hendrix: "As I was saying..."

Gerda Sprinchorn said...: Reminder: these are ODDS, not polling numbers, so a move from 48% to 50% is tiny. Don't confuse these numbers with a 2% movement in the percentage of voters who intend to vote for Trump. The race is still indistinguishable from a 50/50 coin toss.

Related: it is quite extraordinary that the odds have moved almost not at all in the past months.; 10/7/24, 7:30 PM
Dixcus said...: The best thing about what is happening in western North Carolina, South Carolina and northern Georgia is that people - groups of people - are all acting in concert, with no central command, using their own equipment and resources, to fill a void and provide critical help to those in need.

You're seeing an Army get created in the vacuum left by the federal government incompetents.

You will see this Army grow exponentially next week.; 10/7/24, 7:48 PM
Sprezzatura said...: Looks like we got some more lame stream media, libtard censorship at CBS:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/media/2024/10/07/cbs-mornings-ta-nehisi-coates-dokoupil/

Everybody knows that Coates is writing handbooks for Muslim extremists. The extremists are likely to have Coates' books in their backpacks, along w/ bombs. Duh. Now CBS is covering up = censorship!

We need to stop the censorship of Dokoupil. If you can't say Coates' writing is supporting Muslim extremists, what's next? We can't ask Kamala why her husband had sex with the baby sitter and why he beat up his girlfriend? It's like the libtard media hiding the pictures of Biden's kid's dick that were on the laptop from hell.

Thankful for us DJT is getting all the tough interviews and questions. But he doesn't have any sketchy history to ask about. He's not like the (husband/kid) relatives of the Ds. Nope, nothing to ask about his relatives. And surely nothing sketchy (re being a sex creep, not to mention swindling people, not to mention overturning the results of our representative democracy) to ask about re himself.

Nope, we just gots ta worry about that sneaky woman minority that has a laugh we don't like.; 10/7/24, 8:02 PM
Josephbleau said...: I will be proud to know that when Kamala is selected as the first vagina laden president, that all young girls will know that it is a ok for their boyfriends to slap them.; 10/7/24, 8:03 PM
Dixcus said...: Here's Florida General Ron DeSantis, explaining why he hasn't spoken with fake presidential candidate Kamala Harris.

She's not the President. The President of the United States is Joe Biden. Joe Biden has Ron deSantis' phone number and they speak regularly about what the Federal government is going to provide Florida in the coming days.

Kamala Harris does not have Ron deSantis' phone number. Because she's not the President.

Sprezzatura said...: Let's hope the guy that bragged about looking at teen girls in the dressing room, talked about wanting to date his daughter, had sex w/ a pornstar (never mind his wife/kid), and was convicted of sexual abuse will win. FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT.; 10/7/24, 8:13 PM
Quayle said...: The LDS church spun out a software system that matches emergency needs with work parties. It is called Crisis Cleanup. Needs can be entered from phone apps by people walking the neighborhoods, or can be called into a call center. Work parties then can sign-in and signal their locations, to get dispatches to go work a specific task, during which if they see other things that need to be done they can enter those into the system. This is the system that the LDS church uses when they send out their own volunteer work parties, but anyone can use it to both enter needs and get tasks to work.; 10/7/24, 8:13 PM

Christopher B said...: Glad you brought this up ... A comprehensive and link-rich post from Ed Driscoll at Instapundit on what looks to be the same kind of struggle session the NYT went through that caused Bari Weiss to leave.; 10/7/24, 8:16 PM
Original Mike said...: I would think he's busy right now.; 10/7/24, 8:29 PM
Sprezzatura said...: Chris B, the best part of you link (IMHO) came near the end:

"Tony Dokoupil is going to get fired for treating his interview guest like a
Republican."

That statement is saying that Dokoupil is in trouble because he was being overly tough on Coates, like the libtard lame stream deep state media is usually over tough on Rs (like DJT in his debate when it was the libtard lame stream deep state media AND Kamala against DJT: two against one). But when this abuse happens to Rs, the lame stream deep state evil commie whack libtard moron media doesn't have a problem w/ it.

This abuse of Rs is terrible.

But, to be clear it's insane to say anything unfair was done to Coates. That's censorship!!!!!; 10/7/24, 8:32 PM
Original Mike said...: But NBC appears to be trying to help her manufacture a controversy.; 10/7/24, 8:33 PM
Josephbleau said...: Sure Jan. I think slapping is worse. People who, in their virile years, who don’t brag about girls letting them grab their pussies, are just that, pussies. Everyone thinks girls want them.; 10/7/24, 8:39 PM

Vance said...: Here is what the leftists like Sprezz and Inga and Rich and some non-leftists like rrharridin are supporting. From the Telegraph in England about the casualties from Oct 7 being brought in for burial:

The women were shot many times in the head. “Why? Why? We saw that these women were shot to be killed, maybe in the heart, in the head, but then they were shot many times in the face, and it looked like systematic mutilation because it seemed like they wanted to ruin these women’s faces. A lot of them were young soldier women, and a lot of them had been very beautiful. The first few we saw weren’t too bad because they might have been caught in their sleep and Hamas just shot them. But, after a while, we got women who had clearly been awake when they were murdered and these women came in and their mouths, their teeth were in grimaces and their hands were clenched, if they had hands.

“We got notified that a woman’s coming in and she has no legs, so the terrorist cut off her legs. There was clearly immense sadistic violence.” A lot of the women had bloody, stained underwear, Shari says, some had no underwear at all. “People were shot in the breast, they were shot in the crotch, and that was not done to kill them.” She is a calm, thoughtful person, but her voice is stiff with anger now.

One body Shari dealt with personally still had a knife stuck through her mouth. “There was so much violence and it was totally sexual.”

The perpetrators of the mass murder–worse than mass murder, really–are today being celebrated around the world by those who love evil. Sadly, there are quite a few in that category.

A final word from the woman who prepared Israeli bodies for burial:

Of all the young women whose bodies she took care of and prepared for burial, how many were in a fit state to be shown to their parents?

There is total silence in the room, except for the ticking of a clock on the kitchen wall. I pat the dog beside me, pressing my hand deep into his fur to bring me back to this world and away from that place where jihadi psychopaths annihilate the faces of young women for kicks.

Shari looks at me. I can’t tell if her eyes are full of sorrow or glittering with rage. “None,” she says at last. “Not one girl we could show to her parents.”
/End Quote. This is what the left is cheering, defending, and wanting more of, both in Israel and here in the US.; 10/7/24, 8:44 PM

Sprezzatura sez next: "I'll take 'Fine People" for $800, Alex"; 10/7/24, 8:55 PM
Eva Marie said...: On the eve of the Melania release, her book is # 7 on Amazon’s best seller list.
What book is higher on the list?
The Achievements of Kamala Harris is #5. Here are some of the reviews:
“Loved this book, very informative. Shows how much she has done, truly amazing. Once I picked it up I just had to finish it in 1 sitting.”
Here’s another:
“I'm speechless!!! Really cannot say anything except that no one can add anything more about her achievements. Well done!!!”
Reaching across the aisle, I say buy this book! All of Kamala’s achievements in one book. It’s a must read!!! (BTW the pages are all blank. AHAHAHA.); 10/7/24, 9:08 PM
Inga said...: Are you insane?; 10/7/24, 9:14 PM
Sprezzatura said...: I just came across a new outrage.

So, I was listening to the new Coulter podcast. And it was normal stuff (for her) like how the Ds were going to give money to illegal aliens instead giving it to the MAGA country that needs help before they can vote for DJT. Apparently "equity demands that the rural white people die. That's what FEMA is going for here"

Anywho, more importantly to me Coulter mentioned that there is a European law that demands that plastic beverage bottles with screw off tops must have tops that are tied to the bottle.

OMG! This summer I spent a bunch of time in Europe, mostly Switzerland, so I can confirm that these caps that are attached to the bottles are super annoying. Now I know that those things were required because of nanny state government so-called do gooders.

I'm not a climate change denier. But someone is gonna need to prove to me that there is a benefit to having those annoying things that attach the caps to the bottles. I'm a denier that those things help anything.; 10/7/24, 9:15 PM
Vance said...: No, Inga: this is what all of the leftist "protestors" and "Palestinian rights" people are supporting. Why else would they be marching to celebrate today, to commemorate today and praise the attack on Israel which happened a year ago? I do not see your criticism of the protestors celebrating this day.

This is some of what Hamas and Palestinians did on that day a year ago. And lest we forget, over two-thirds of the attackers were "Palestinian civilians" and not members of Hamas. This is what they did to the people in Israel. This is the people you, Inga, are supporting and defending and crying about Bibi attacking: the kind of people who celebrate, cheer, and do this kind of stuff. This is your allies, Inga. You are partially responsible for this kind of barbarity. All while you piously scream about "Women's rights!" unless, of course, it's the right of Jewish women to not be tortured and raped to death. That, of course, is what leftists love. At least they are absolutely fine with it, because they fully support all of these Pro-Palestinian protests and they love the "From the River to the Sea!" calls. And the "Decolonization!" calls. Well, Inga: this is what your precious "Decolonization" looks like. You support this.; 10/7/24, 9:31 PM
Political Junkie said...: If you are an R or C and like history and election history (and smashing the opponent), I encourage you to google 1980, 1984, 1988 election night coverage. Go with ABC. Brinkley is awesome.; 10/7/24, 9:31 PM
effinayright said...: Myself, I can confidently report that the reaction of many readers was: "Once I put it down, I couldn't pick it up".; 10/7/24, 9:51 PM
