Me: I need to take it easy on the legs the next day or two
Also me: I'm going effing nuts because I WANT TO DO STUFF!
Dammit.
Dammit.
A quick look at the news shows clowns like McConnell and some of the other pretend Republicans
having fits over the public actually seeing security video that shows things they don't want the peasants to see. Schumer, of course, just had another fit on the Senate floor and actually called for censorship. And that asshole Crenshaw from Texas(who's turned out to be a monumental disappointment) whining about "We've already seen this, why do people keep bringing it up?" Asshole, if we'd seen all this WE WOULDN'T KEEP BRINGING IT UP."
As Carlson put it,
“You don’t often see the Senate majority leader openly call for censorship on the floor of the Senate as if that was totally normal and didn’t contradict the spirit and the letter of the First Amendment,” Carlson said, before calling out Republican Sens. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Thom Tillis of North Carolina and Mitt Romney of Utah for siding with Schumer.
and
“From this, we learn two things: One, you’re getting close to what they really care about. And you have to ask yourself why? Why is it so important that they would degrade themselves by telling such obvious lies and calling for censorship? Why? What are they trying to protect?” Carlson asked. “That might be worth exploring and we plan to. And the second thing we learned from this is that they’re on the same side. The Senate majority leader joins the Senate minority leader. Thom Tillis, Mitt Romney. They’re all on the same side!”
Yes, they are.
Going after the assholes who actually did violence? No problem. Going after people who were LET into the building, walked through, and left? Who did nothing? While assholes like Ray Epps are protected? Oh yeah, we've been lied to, and a bunch of our LE were/are quite willing to play Praetorian Guard, and it all needs to be brought out.

Ah, the joys of being graceful
Which in this case involved a misstep coming down the stairs during the night. Nothing horrible, but the landing jarred one knee(happily not the one most recently surgeried).
So I'm being easy on it, and hoping the meds for the back will also help ease this. Which is making cleaning the place up difficult, among other things.

It would seem that if you have a credit card(or probably anything else) with Bank of America,
you might want to get rid of it. At least if you give a damn about privacy, security, and not wanting a bank that has a nice fascist partnership with the feds.
An FBI whistleblower told congressional investigators that the D.C. field office pushed local offices to open criminal investigations into Americans based solely on financial transactions Bank of America tracked and voluntarily provided to the bureau, according to testimony reviewed by The Federalist.
“Bank of America, with no directive from the FBI, datamined its customer base,” whistleblower and recently retired FBI supervisory intelligence analyst George Hill told investigators for the House Judiciary Committee, according to Hill’s testimony.
...
According to the material reviewed, Hill testified that on either Jan. 7 or 8, 2021, Bank of America provided the FBI’s D.C. field office a “huge list” of individuals who used Bank of America credit or debit cards in D.C., or the surrounding Maryland and Virginia areas, on Jan. 5, 6, or 7, 2021. Bank of America then elevated to the top of the list anyone who had ever (through Jan. 6, 2021) used a Bank of America product to purchase a firearm.
There was no geographic or date-range limit to the search for firearm purchases, Hill stressed, meaning the individual would be flagged at the top of the list had he “purchased a shotgun in 1999” in Iowa, and used a Bank of America credit card to check out of a hotel on Jan. 5, 2021, in the Northern Virginia area, following a trip that could be completely unrelated to the Capitol riot on Jan. 6.
It appears the Boston EffingBI office actually refused to open cases based on this, and held to it. No telling what other offices said "Screw that Constitution thing we swore to uphold" out and did.

Matt Taibbi has some of the Capitol video
and more on the "Let's shut people up on social media" crap from the .gov on this thread.
Oh my, it seems that Carlson has stirred the crap up a bit
I don't have cable, so didn't watch Tucker Carlson's show last night where he reported on what was a bunch of the Jan. 6 video that, for some reason, the J6CommitteeKangaroo Court didn't want people to see. Among those,
BREAKING: Never before seen January 6 footage shows Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick walking around the building after the time media outlets claimed he was killed by protesters.
The J6 Committee had access to this tape but refused to release it.
And
Newly revealed surveillance footage from Jan. 6, 2021, shows two Capitol police officers escorting Jacob Chansley, the be-horned so-called “QAnon Shaman” who has come to symbolize the riot, through the halls of the Capitol and to the very door of the US Senate.
The footage aired on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show Monday night shows the officers closely following Chansley as he wanders the corridors of the Capitol, bare-chested and wearing face paint and a luxuriant fur hat with Viking horns.
“Virtually every moment of his time inside the Capitol was caught on tape,” says Carlson, who was granted exclusive access by Speaker Kevin McCarthy to 40,000 hours of surveillance footage from that day inside and around the Capitol, which has never been seen before by the public.
“The tapes show the Capitol police never stopped Jacob Chansley. They helped him. They acted as his tour guides.”
And the real killer for this,
At one point, the officers are seen walking Chansley past seven other police officers milling around outside the Senate chamber, who barely give him a second look.
Then they escort him to various entrances of the chamber which appear to be locked. Eventually, they help him open a door, and he enters the chamber.
...
So we've got lying bastard politicians, and lying bastard cops. Last I heard lying under oath, verbally or in writing, is a criminal act. Chances of these bastards being charged, let alone prosecuted: pretty much zero.
Oh, there's also video showing the Kangaroo Court and the EffingBI lied about Ray Epps. And, far as I know, most of our Major Media clowns either didn't question any of this, or defended it.
If there was any question about why the Democrats and most of said Media had fits about this video coming out, this is why.

It's a long wait from the doctor saying "I'm putting in the prescription for you"
to the pharmacy saying "It's ready."
I have got either one hell of an allergy problem
or a plague. Whichever, I could do without it.
Speaking of plagues, looks what the Brits have been turning up about their plague doctors:
The Lockdown Files – more than 100,000 WhatsApp messages sent between ministers, officials and others – show how the Government used scare tactics to force compliance and push through lockdowns.
In another message Simon Case, the Cabinet Secretary, said that “the fear/ guilt factor” was “vital” in “ramping up the messaging” during the third national lockdown in Jan 2021.
The previous month, Matt Hancock, the then health secretary, appeared to suggest in one message that a new strain of Covid that had recently emerged would be helpful in preparing the ground for the looming lockdown, by scaring people into compliance.
...
The comment suggested that they believed the strain could be helpful in preparing the ground for a future lockdown and tougher restrictions in the run-up to Christmas 2020.
Mr Hancock then replied: “We frighten the pants off everyone with the new strain.”
Mr Poole agreed, saying: “Yep that’s what will get proper bahviour [sic] change.”
The discussion came two days after Mr Hancock was informed of the emergence of a new variant – known as alpha or the Kent variant, in Dec 2020. A surge in cases later led to the effective cancellation of Christmas on Dec 19.
Mr Hancock expressed his worry that talks over Brexit would dominate headlines and reduce the impact, and probed Mr Poole for his media advice. “When do we deploy the new variant,” asked Mr Hancock.
...
Psychologists have already warned that some Government messaging during Covid, including using alleged “fear tactics” in poster and health campaigns, were “grossly unethical” and that inflated fear levels contributed to excess non-Covid deaths and increased anxiety disorders.
The exchange was not the only time the former health secretary and other senior officials discussed tactics to frighten the public into compliance.
Gee, doesn't some of this sound familiar?

How effing stupid are the greenies? "You can't use that anesthetic
because Climate Change!" stupid.
Scotland has become the first country in the world to stop its hospitals using the anaesthetic desflurane because of the threat it poses to the environment.
NHS data suggests the gas, used to keep people unconscious during surgery, has a global warming potential 2,500 times greater than carbon dioxide.
Banning it in Scotland – from its peak use in 2017 – would cut emissions equal to powering 1,700 homes a year.
UK hospitals have already cut down.
...
...Medical teams are now forbidden from using Desflurane, even if in their medical opinion Desflurane is the best anaesthetic for the procedure, so in that scenario at least, patient health comes second to the Scottish Health climate agenda.

The FBI says "We argued with the Do'J' about the raid on Trump's house!"
But they did it anyway. Doesn't that just make you want to trust them again?

Bound to happen: when a lot of your city hates all the cops and wants to get rid of them,
the bad guys will take notice.
If only the damage could be mostly limited to the leftist idiots who caused the problem

One of the fun things about having had a serious back problem:
"Oh God, I hope this is just a strain/pull, and not something that'll involve injections!"
I'm just going to dump some news
Starting with "When he's in the hospital, how is Fetterman helping introduce legislation?"
His chief of staff won't say anything, all he's doing is blocking people on Twitter who ask, and putting out 'this ugliness from the right' pablum.
This reminds me of the last 'vote' by Robert Byrd: they rolled him onto the Senate floor in a wheelchair, his head bouncing around like a bobblehead doll, and he gave the Party the 'vote' they wanted.
That horrible clown prosecutor in St. Louis may actually pay a price for all the damage she's done. It won't be enough, but it would be something.
"Let's lower the passing level for the bar exam! Then we'll get more diversity in lawyers!" You'll also get lousy lawyers, but you don't care about that.
Why so few reproduction historic guns?
And that's all I've got time for

And these weren't just mistakes, they deliberately lied to us
long after they knew these things were bullshit.
Some of them are still lying, because they really don't want to face the music.
And some of them deserve not just being fired, but being prosecuted for lying under oath.

When February decides to play nice for a few days,
but you can't enjoy it much. Because the knee, for some reason, has been hurting like hell at times, and you did something and your back hurts if you're not careful.
Dammit.

How stupid are people? This stupid.
A 34-year-old Michigan man was reportedly arrested after calling police to report a prostitute he’d paid $10 was refusing to honor their agreement.
The unidentified solicitor called Saginaw, Mich., cops shortly before 8 a.m. Saturday to complain a 24-year-old prostitute, who was present when police arrived, had reneged on her alleged vow to perform a sex act of an unspecified nature, according to Michigan Live.
But wait! There's MORE!
...However, both parties arrested were out on bond related to home invasion charges, Michigan Live reported.

Apparently the Marines haven't been teaching much about that Constitution thing they swear to uphold, or
this is another example of 'higher' education as much of it currently sits.
Marshall University professor Chris White said the bill doesn’t have enough safety measures in place. Formerly a Marine Corps infantryman, he referenced months of training that military and police officers go through “to earn that Second Amendment right and carry those weapons in public.”
Apparently, at the least, White has no actual idea what a right is.

"Why, that's a conspiracy theory!" "From the Dept. of Energy?"
"Uh..."
The U.S. Energy Department has concluded that the Covid pandemic most likely arose from a laboratory leak, according to a classified intelligence report recently provided to the White House and key members of Congress.
The shift by the Energy Department, which previously was undecided on how the virus emerged, is noted in an update to a 2021 document by Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines’s office. . . .
The FBI previously came to the conclusion that the pandemic was likely the result of a lab leak in 2021 with “moderate confidence” and still holds to this view.
...
U.S. officials declined to give details on the fresh intelligence and analysis that led the Energy Department to change its position. They added that while the Energy Department and the FBI each say an unintended lab leak is most likely, they arrived at those conclusions for different reasons.
The full article is paywalled, this is from an excerpt at Instapundit.
So, what would get you shut down on Twatter and Fecesbook, and still causes problems at the latter, is now "Yeah, this is probably what happened." Along with various medications and treatments that were 'misinformation' , 'conspiracy theory', etc., are now admitted as good treatments. Not to mention admitting that natural immunity is at least as good protection as the 'vaccines'.
And they wonder why people don't trust them anymore.

One of those things that drives me up the walls at times
While back had a couple come in and ask about buying a revolver for their home. Little talking and some questions brought up that they'd bought a S&W M&P 9mm a few months before, so why did they decide to look at revolvers?
Because it would be faster to load if someone was breaking in.
??
Seems a 'helpful' friend had told them that if you leave a magazine loaded for very long, it would ruin it. So they thought they'd have to start loading the magazine when there was trouble...

They were shocked to find out their friend was full of crap(more gently put), and all they really needed was to bring this S&W in and shoot it to get used to it. Oh, yes, seems they'd not yet fired a shot through it. In large part because they didn't want to wear it out.
There are times I could stand to find the people still pushing this line and whack them over the head with something heavy.
