It should be noted that Occasional-Cortex is a commie

And commies love lists of enemies(that being any non-commie) to deal with.*

Wonder if she understands that assholes like her are one of the reasons so many people became gun owners the last while?

I have power,

 But internet's down.  I'd reported the downed line when it happened, but it seems bloody ATT lost/dumped it.  So now no repair till late next week. 

So minimal bloggage because doing this on the phone is a pain

Assuming this works,

Friday data

Still no power

And the electric company is now saying 'We don't know when'.

This truly sucks.

Hopefully tomorrow

 There will be power.  The neighborhood is up, I'm waiting to get my line hooked back up.

Still no power, probably Monday or Tuesday

Had scheduled a data dump for last night, but don't think can tonight.  Will see about making up for it later.

Friday night finally got here,

and so did the stuff

power

 And not using the phone for updates.  Still alive

From someone with some pretty serious chops as a reporter:

As a personal favor, I ask you to please not laugh out loud when I say: Let’s take journalists at their word when they tell us the only reason they’re not running the Hunter Biden story is that, because they’re unbiased, honest, trustworthy professionals, they don’t want to traffic in an unsubstantiated smear campaigns.”

Okay, you can laugh your heads off now.

Let’s be generous and say that at the outset they had reasonable concerns. How could they know if the emails were real? The story might be Russian disinformation. Rudy Giuliani, the president’s lawyer and pal, is involved -- that’s a reason to be skeptical. The story broke in the New York Post, a tabloid owned by the conservative tycoon Rupert Murdoch. Fox News, another Murdoch property, ran with the story. How could they even know the computer in question belonged to Hunter Biden? Isn’t the computer repairman almost blind? And what a coincidence, they say, that all of this comes out just days before the presidential election!

 

It’s not their reasoning, dishonest as it is, that’s so annoying. It’s the sanctimony of these journalists that’s galling. They’re not running the story because they don’t want to be participants in a smear campaign that might affect a presidential election – and they want us to really believe that?

 

 

 

 

More later as I try to catch all this up
