I'm not really in the mood after the previously noted stuff, but I try to keep things going on schedule, so

here's the visuals

Before I get to the usual late-Saturday post, I would present to you a collection of This Is. fucking CNN.

On these communication platforms, Griffin sought to persuade parents to allow him to train their daughters to be sexually submissive. In June of 2020, Griffin advised a mother of 9- and 13-year-old daughters that the mother’s responsibility was to see that her older daughter was “trained properly.” Griffin later transferred over $3,000 to the mother for plane tickets so the mother and her 9-year-old daughter could fly from Nevada to Boston’s Logan airport. The mother and child flew to Boston in July of 2020, where Griffin picked them up in his Tesla and drove them to his Ludlow house. At the house, the daughter was directed to engage in, and did engage in, unlawful sexual activity.
Note that this CNN 'employee' is one of Fredo Cuomo's producers.  Y'know, the Cuomo CNN allowed to keep working while he used his position to help his brother, Gov. Howler?  The Cuomo who was, like his brother, abusing women?  Who was using his Professional Journalist contacts to try to trash people who dared call Howler on his homicidal actions?

How hard do you think it was for this piece of shit- both of them- to continue their actions while surrounded by people like- well, each other?

I shall halt this post now, because I'm getting seriously pissed.  With these CNN assholes, and all the assholes who support and defend them.

It is any effing wonder a bunch of people think a secret pedophile ring has influence over the government and media?

Yes, it is that night

And with the wind whistling outside, and it getting colder, some higher-temp data is called for

Good article

on our current messes.  I'm just going to borrow this from the end:
The end?

If forced to bet, I would have to place my chips somewhere between imminent collapse and drawn-out decline. I occasionally read theories of triple bank-shots and four-dimensional chess—they really know what they’re doing!—only to marvel. Our regime cannot, at present, unload a cargo ship, stock a store shelf, run a clean election, handle parental complaints at a school board meeting, pass a budget bill, treat a cold variant, keep order in the streets, defeat a third world country, or even evacuate said country cleanly. And that’s to say nothing of all the things it should be doing, that all non-joke countries do, that it refuses to do. If our ruling class has a plan, it would seem to be to destroy the society and institutions from which they, at present, are the largest—one is tempted to say only—beneficiaries. Do they think they can benefit more from the wreckage? Or are they driven by hatreds that blind them to self-interest? Perhaps they’re simply insane?

Whatever the case, couple all this unprecedentedness with all this incompetence, and going long on Wokemerica seems a sucker bet. But, to end where we began, the very unprecedentedness of our situation means that all bets are off.

I'd say that would be a friggin' nightmare for the Russians

in lots of towns and villages and cities.

I would think a lot of people have family stories about what Soviet/Russian troops did there in the past.

I walked into the garage, and for a moment I thought something was dead

No, Security Staff had just released a near-weapon grade bubble of gas.  I don't know what he found to eat, but he needs to not do it again.

To say these people need their asses sued off is an understatement,

their punishment should start with a trial for committing crimes, and be followed with flogging before prison.
Maribel Duarte told NBC 4 News her 13-year-old came home with a vaccine card after saying yes to being vaccinated in exchange for pizza at the Barack Obama Global Prep Academy school in South LA.

Duarte said she should have been asked to give her written consent for her child to be vaccinated.
No shit.
Kennedy said: "These grotesque contests and displays of treatment and candy and gifts and favors, raffles and cash prizes inducing the kids to the vaccination.

"Here is the problem, kids in California cannot consent to vaccination."

She continued "The LAUSD does not have the power to add a vaccine shot to the California school schedule.
Which is where 'They should be charged and tried' comes in.  Although it being Californicated and LA, fat chance.

Due to circumstances I'm tired,

I ache, and I've got too much to do.  Especially since it seems that I keep having to redo things, like clean the area I just did a couple of days ago.  

Loading?  Here's a weird one: the other day I loaded 50 rounds of .300 Blackout, all using Sig brass.  There are 15 that weigh right at 10 grains more than the rest.  Yes, I took a couple apart: the powder charges are exactly what should be and an extra 10 would have been overflowing.  Either those cases are from a different batch and weigh that much more, or I have no damned idea.

Now, having worn myself out further today with multiple doctor crap, I'm going to figure out something to eat.  Maybe get something cleaned off again before I fall over.

Trusting much of the military command right now is as stupid as trusting the EffingBI

Four military officers who describe themselves as “researchers” at the Army’s highly respected Cyber Institute have published an article that adds to the growing concern about the ongoing politicization of the military. Published by the military’s National Defense University (NDU), their article purports to analyze the dangers of misinformation and disinformation and to advise the Biden administration about how to counter it.

The article’s authors all are military officers and at least two are professors at West Point. They say their article “is written in response to the Capitol insurrection.”
Can you say 'loaded language' and "Here are our politics"?

Then we have this:
The article suffers from a number of flaws. One of the most notable – and dangerous – is that the authors wade deeper into the political wars by advocating more government control over speech that they regard as outside the mainstream or, as they put it, contrary to a desired “shared reality.”
Military officers wanting to trash part of the Constitution they swore to uphold.  In the name of 'shared reality'.

These clowns need to go.  Along with every other officer who agrees with them.

Speaking of people who need their red armbands, the European Union

might as well get properly dressed.
Austria has already announced compulsory COVID vaccinations which will be enforced starting in February of 2022. Greece has recently decided to fine all unvaccinated citizens €100 (£85) a month for their non compliance, and Germany announced Thursday a nationwide lockdown for the unvaccinated, as its leaders backed plans for mandatory vaccinations in the coming months. Germany’s incoming Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, said he supports compulsory vaccinations beginning in March 2022.

We've seen this movie before.  Didn't end well.  And with Australia already in the "You will go to the camps!" stage, this is definitely not good.

So glad I'm not on Twatter

Here's the story: the lying clown who ran Twatter decided to leave.  The guy who became the new head is at least as, maybe more, anti-free speech than first guy.

First thing he does is make a rule, as Ace puts it, 'banning the sharing of photos, even those taken at public events, without the explicit consent of everyone depicted therein'.  Apparently not thinking that while he assumed this would keep those evil right-wing types from sharing pictures of leftists setting fires, looting, and assaulting, said right-wing types could start reporting all the leftists as being in violation.

Hilarity ensues.

Don't know about you, but I'm laughing my ass off.
