Clearance time

One of my personal "You just REALLY pissed me off" things is some idiot,

if you express any doubt about the Wuhan vaccines, immediately labeling you 'anti-vax'.  And acting like you hate ALL vaccines.

Effing idiots.

I used to see older people at a restaurant pull out a pill index

to remember to take the right med and think "That's got to be a pain in the ass."

I'm not at that point, but there's enough stuff I have to take that it's a pain at times.  I can see how easy it would be for someone taking more, or having some that time-to-take is more important, to mess it up and wind up in trouble.

I think I said it before: getting old is easy, being old sucks.  The good part being that, for a lot of things, there are treatments that generally work, whereas not that long ago you just suffered until you died.  Generally much earlier.

I've been watching the usual suspects screaming "Mussolini returns!"

because the 'wrong' candidate won election in Italy, and Meloni is very wrong from the leftist view; said suspects including most of our Professional Journalists and President Gropey.  How dare someone who cares more about Italy and traditional values beat the EU-approved drone!  Etc.

Here's what an actual opponent of her in Italy had to say:
"Personally I was against Giorgia Meloni, I’m not her best friend, we are rivals but she is not a danger to democracy, the idea there is a risk of fascism in Italy is absolutely fake news"

It's another case of "If Biden doesn't like her, she must be pretty good" being a general rule.

Lawdog has a post on the Nordstream mess,

and it's pretty good.

I guess I ought to give a look at him

 

And the Bruen decision keeps giving

From a NRA email:
Court Rules Second Amendment Prohibits Federal Pre-Conviction Firearms Ban

Last week, a federal judge in the Western District of Texas ruled that a law which prohibits the acquisition of firearms by someone who is under felony indictment violates the Second Amendment. The decision to invalidate a major provision of the Gun Control Act of 1968 underscores the gravity of the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision in New York Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, which prescribed a standard of review that lower courts must apply when resolving Second Amendment cases. The case from the Western District of Texas is United States v. Quiroz.
Makes sense, since 'under indictment' does not mean you've been convicted of anything.

We were told the consequences of that decision would be wide-ranging, and they were right.

Thank you for the thoughts, people

I knew this was going to suck, but it's so bad...

Security Staff

has left the yard.

'Rahul Gupta, the director of the White House's Office of National Drug Control Policy, said: 'It is unacceptable

that we are losing a life to overdose every five minutes around the clock.'

Really?  Then why aren't you bastards CLOSING THE EFFING BORDER?  Especially now, with this new fun thing?

If these people aren't actually evil, then what are they?

This is it. This is the end game of these queer theorists and gender ideologues: the sexualization of children. It was always going to end up here. This is what all these drag queen story hours mean, and these "family-friendly drag shows". It's all about sexualizing children and grooming them to become prey for pedophiles -- sorry, "Minor-Attracted Persons."

We've seen it here, lots of teachers and intellectuals trying to normalize said 'minor-attracted persons', and some flat-out saying 'children should be free to have sex with anyone they want.'

There are a bunch of homosexuals having fits about being lumped in with these assholes, and the trans lobby trying to take their groups over; and Fecesbook, Youtube and Twatter have been stomping on them for daring to say no.

This is... awful is a good word.

Seventh eve, and I think you'll like

the data gathered.  

With all the stresses and worries, the sixth night has arrived

Hopefully it will bring some more sleep with it.  Now,
