It's downright chilly out there, on its way
to fairly damned cold tonight. Very good conditions to to work on your studies.
If you had any doubts that this shit was about control,
dump them.
Chemistry Professor Patanjali Kambhampati said he has been denied two grants over the past two years for failing to properly pledge allegiance to equity, diversity and inclusion.
Kambhampati was born in India. He grew up and was educated in the United States.
Since 2003, Kambhampati has successfully conducted cutting-edge research at the intersection of chemistry and physics as a member of the Department of Chemistry at McGill University in Canada.
...
“Initially, they started asking us to state our EDI position, which is a new thing,” he said. “The newer thing happened in the last one year where the federal agencies said we’re going to look at your EDI statements first and foremost. That will be the gatekeeper.”
If a researcher doesn’t write a satisfactory EDI statement, some federal funding agencies will not even look at the scientific merits of the work anymore, Kambhampati said.
"You WILL do and act and think as you are told, or your project goes nowhere. We don't care how interesting/vital/important it may be."
These people suck like a Hoover with a turbo, and they deserve half a helicopter ride.

They wanted these people really, truly,
all the way dead. Reading from some people with background, someone with at least a little training probably helped set this up.

Thinking that the Biden clowns would want to do anything about a Cuban activist being tortured and slowly killed
by the Cuban government... you've got to try to talk to the bastards, but you think these socialist assholes would do anything to cause a problem for the Cuban government?
That big beast in front is Arkady, son & DILs oldest dog
Good. I hope she gets both ears and the tail,
because the only thing that'll stop this bullshit is some people paying a real price for it.

Whether Europe or Asia or Africa or the Americas,
people alter things to suit them. Whether the 'noble savage' idiots like it or not.
Speaking of, I found this in a book called '1491: New Revelations of the Americas before Columbus':
Every fall, he remembered, the Haudenosaunee set fire to “the woods, plains, and meadows,” to “thin out and clear the woods of all dead substances and grass, which grow better the ensuing spring.” At first the wildfire had scared him, but over time van der Donck had come to relish the spectacle of the yearly burning. “Such a fire is a splendid sight when one sails on the [Hudson and Mohawk] rivers at night while the forest is ablaze on both banks,” he recalled. With the forest burning to the right and the left, the colonists’ boats passed through a channel of fire, their passengers as goggle-eyed at the blaze as children at a video arcade. “Fire and flames are seen everywhere and on all sides … a delightful scene to look on from afar.”
Interesting book, worth reading

The legal profession: the swamp takes care of its own
A former senior FBI lawyer who falsified a surveillance document in the Trump-Russia investigation has been restored as a member in "good standing" by the District of Columbia Bar Association even though he has yet to finish serving out his probation as a convicted felon, according to disciplinary records obtained by RealClearInvestigations.
...
The move is the latest in a series of exceptions the bar has made for Kevin Clinesmith, who pleaded guilty in August 2020 to doctoring an email used to justify a surveillance warrant targeting former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
Slimeballs, one and all.

Takedown on Daisy BB guns
Anyone know of anyplace with instructions? I've got an old one whose seals are shot and I'd like to try to fix it.
It's been beaten and battered by oathbreaking politicians and judges,
but imagine where we'd be if that Bill of Rights hadn't been there? Australia, anyone?

Holy crap, she's good.
If you haven't seen it before, or it's been a while, Weapon of Choice
And now, they call this a parody, but seems more of "This was so good, I wanted to do it myself!"
And did a damn good job of it

Something else I want to yell about, all the harm caused by the lockdowns and bullshit that was supposed to 'save' us
Atlas added that as a public health leader, you shouldn't make wild promises such as "I'm going to stop this one infection at all costs, without regard for all of public health."
"It failed, by the way," he continued. "But it also inflicted massive harm because you have to remember, we shut down a lot of medical care. It wasn’t just cosmetic surgery or something like that that was shut down. We had 650,000 people with cancer on chemotherapy. Half of them skipped their chemo just during the spring of 2020 out of fear. We had 85% of living organ transplants did not get done compared to the previous year. We had two-thirds of cancer screenings did not get done. These people still have cancer."
Atlas added that many people who put their chronic health conditions on the back burner during the early days of the pandemic, whether voluntarily or because hospitals were full, are now finding themselves sicker than ever.
"They’re going to come back with widespread, what’s called metastatic, disease. A lot of them are going to die," he continued. "We had massive increases in drug abuse, in spousal abuse, in child abuse. ... So this was a massive harm, and the harm, again, all the losses, we are almost on the verge of destroying a younger generation, by the way, we have a massive rise in anxiety disorder, in depressive disorder."
Atlas added that the mental health crisis in younger patients is a direct result of the lockdowns during the pandemic.
And none of the people involved, and most of the media, don't want to talk about this.
Larry Correia's wife found a lump in a breast, just as their idiot governor announced "No non-emergency medical treatment!" Which means no biopsy, and in possible cancer time is very important. Lots of people in the same boat across the country, and lots of people needing cardiac care as well. But apparently they don't count as important to these bastards.
These people, at the very least, need some actual reporters calling them out on this and not letting them weasel out of giving answers. Chances of that happening: you know the answer.

No, not much blogging lately. Still.
Lots of stuff to try to do, only so much time. And sometimes tired enough just want to sit. Like after yesterday. But I will mention this:
Screenshots of Brooks’ Facebook page, under his MathBoi Fly rapper handle, were mysteriously deleted right after the parade murders, and showed that he had praised Hitler, backed Black Lives Matter — and called for violence against white people.
“So when we start bakk knokkin white people TF out ion wanna hear it…the old white ppl 2, KNOKK DEM TF OUT!! PERIOD,” he wrote under his rap name, MathBoi Fly, along with a middle-finger emoji.
Brooks’ case has now become a cause célèbre, not in the mainstream media, which was slammed for initially saying the deadly attack was caused by “a car” that drove into the parade, but by an increasing chorus of influential podcasters like Joe Rogan and online pundits who claim Brooks and his victims in Waukesha have been “swept under the carpet” by the press because it doesn’t fit their agenda.
Damn right it doesn't, and damn right they want it to go away. Because so much of our media is slime that insists "We tell you the Truth!" while they're telling you only what they want you to hear, the way they want you to hear it.
The enablers aren't much better. "You have to get your news from one of these approved sources!"
"Why?"
"To be sure you hear the Truth!"
"You mean like these 'truths'(give a list of bullshit)?"
The response I loved most was "Those were from commenters, not from straight news people!"
A favorite:
"I was interested until I saw it came from Legal Insurrection."
"Is anything in that false, or inaccurate?"
"You can't trust news from a place like that!"
Because approved source is more important than facts.

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.
