GOPeed in D.C. Loserville – Jobs Falter (along with Markets)

Not a fan of Joe Biden and his woke/left lying alliance of blustering bureaucratic blunderers.  BUT he managed to get one thing right, so credit where due: Biden: GOP speaker drama ’embarrassing,’ ‘not a good look’ | AP News

“Bad Look” is Right

I don’t like to use (highly-accurate, descriptive) words like “shitshow” at breakfast.  So, instead, let’s see where the feminization of whiny, testosterone deprived, political suck-up’s has led this once Great Country.  I mean, like it or not, an even read of history would suggest that we are living in the polar opposite of the Nation that spawned such greats at Generals McArthur and George S. Patton.

BUT the spoilt-child antics of the former GOP explains to any impartial observer why and how America is running off the rails.

Why can’t the GOP help?  Because they can’t even help themselves to a majority.

Even as SloJoe’s aid to defend Ukraine’s borders, but NOT America’s from an even more insidious invasion continues – the result of utter republican incompetence is a laydown for the left.

Critical thinking is gone.  The republicans have lost it and the lefties never had it.

All orchestrated by ultra-powerful monied interests – like George Soros – who obviously did not give away his more than $140 million last year with no expectation of a return on his “social investment.”

Republicans – unable to unite their own party – will be predictably incompetent as they were in the days of Trump.

Your future is clear:  Extremely limited free speech, 100% traceable money, government inspections and control all arranged by crooked language spun toward a Globalist agenda left of Moscow.

Don’t know if you saw the story, but it goes like this: California looking to pay reparations to 600 people who were forcibly sterilized by the state.  In a Precision Thinking World, the case would have been told as damages.  Because that’s what it is.

And Courts adjudicate damages. It’s a wrong to be righted.  Reparations is a cause and the bendover is in the wings.  Especially in socialist engineering centers like Gruesome’s California.

OK: Republicans no longer think clearly.  That’s why Ukraine gets a Border and America doesn’t.  That’s why illegal immigrants don’t get thrown out for trespass as clearly provided for in law.

The GOP can’t even “pass themselves” so expect two years of further incompetence to follow.

“Special” has taken down the republicans.  Specialness disease is spread by media contact, word-spinning, and lying corporate media.

The GOP has lost their pretense to power. American centrists – still able to separate “equity” from “equality” and “border” from “treason” play into the Soros clowntrack of the left.  In the process, sweeping America’s moderate center to the dustbin of history.

We are down the “camel problem” of future – “One bump, or two?”

Either it will be ALL humans uniting around a central tendency OR we live in the two-hump world of US and THEM. (Truth in Advertising requires the “elephant logo” be replaced by the Camel.)

Conflict between humans didn’t used to be an industry. But it looks to us like a once Grand Party has sold out now, along with everyone else once responsive to the Founders ideals.  Reasonable has left the building.

Jobs Data?

The ADP Jobs Report and the Challenger Job Cuts are just out.

Now, Challenger data:

“(Source) U.S.-based employers announced 43,651 cuts in December, falling 43% from the 76,835 announced in November. It is up 129% from the 19,052 cuts announced in the same month in 2021, according to a report released Thursday from global outplacement and business and executive coaching firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas, Inc.

December’s total is the second-highest number of monthly job cuts announced in 2022 and marks the eighth time last year when cuts were higher than the corresponding month a year earlier.

In the third quarter, employers announced 154,329 job cuts, the highest quarterly total since the final quarter of 2020, when 222,493 job cut announcements occurred. It is 172% higher than the 56,749 cuts announced in the last quarter of 2021 and 102% higher than the 76,284 cuts announced in the previous quarter.

In 2022, employers announced plans to cut 363,824 jobs, up 13% from the 321,970 cuts announced in 2021. It is the second-lowest recorded total since Challenger began tracking monthly job cut announcements in 1993, with 2021 being the lowest.”

After the data, markets, well, look for yourself. Down a hunsky or so earlier.

We have to figure here in the Land of Consumer Super-Saturation, that at some point, the markdowns will end, and spending will dry up, just as it did during the Great Depression when consumers pulling their horns in led to financial disaster.  Not saying this is what’s going on now, but with two more years of financial declines in our proprietary outlooks on the subscriber side (Peoplenomics.com) we think stories like this are meaningful:  Amazon announces plans to lay off over 18,000 employees.

Functionally, reverse growth is the financial equivalent of slow death.  Unless the firee’s are being replaced from Amazon’s remarkable robotics operation, of course…

The Weathering Hypes

Here we go:  California’s emergency declarer in chief swings into action:  Newsom declares state of emegerncy, as bomb cyclone hits California. Well, except for “bomb cyclone” being incorrect.  See, a cyclone is actually different from a typical counterclockwise low-pressure system.  They’re marked with winds winding inward. Which, when we looked at this morning’s latest GEOS18 imagery:

…isn’t what we saw.  So, say:  You don’t think the media is getting hysterical and pulling hot words out of its collective butts to gain readers, do you?  I mean, isn’t it winter and doesn’t it rain *(sometimes a LOT) in the West?

A further nit would be the NY Post calling winds (with gusts to 70) being hurricane force winds (which actually begin at 74 sustained) but not here to quibble.

Perhaps the Post does better covering of “occasional showers.”  As in their story Adult star-turned-data scientist: I had more sex than showers in 2022. Say, is skank cyclone a weather word?

Shoving it In

Monetizing the Pope Department:  Pope Benedict XVI’s funeral: Pope Francis remembers the dead pontiff’s life, legacy and courage.  Do ad agencies have a special department that buys ads around state funerals?  I gotta ask some people I know, one of these days.

Quick: Does anyone care?  Why Joe Biden Is Not Attending Pope Benedict’s Funeral but Went to Queen’s.

Don’t ask that vax question dept. NFL-Bills’ Hamlin Shows Improvement, Remains In Critical Condition.  Even asking about his vax status could get you fired, though.

Seems Forbes is joining the Skip Bayless pile-on: Why We Need The Twitter Mob: A Callous Tweet About Damar Hamlin Sparks Outrage.

Ah, but what’s this?  More Than 270 Sudden Cardiac Deaths in US Athletes After Vaccination: Peer-Reviewed Study (theepochtimes.com)  Don’t ask, don’t read, is it?

Down a few celsius? Celsius Network creditors suffer major setback following disappointing court ruling  BTC is still there around $16,820-ish.  And for those who think they own crypto, see Court Approves Celsius Network’s Ownership of $4.2 Billion in Customer Funds – DailyCoin for corrective instructions.

Why here we are on day five of the year, already.  Fun, huh?

  1. I woke up this morning and preparing to read “McCarthy fails seventh, eighth and ninth vote” and asked myself “What in the hell is going on in the United States of America?” Then I read your column and you explained it well.

    “Critical thinking is gone. The republicans have lost it and the lefties never had it.”

    We are living in a state of confusion and disarray just as the puppet masters had it planned. China officials must be nodding their heads knowingly!!

    • They sold out is all….
      “OK: Republicans no longer think clearly. That’s why Ukraine gets a Border and America doesn’t. That’s why illegal immigrants don’t get thrown out for trespass as clearly provided for in law.”
      I think George hit it on the nose …with this one..
      “All orchestrated by ultra-powerful monied interests – like George Soros – who obviously did not give away his more than $140 million last year with no expectation of a return on his “social investment.”

      the book the secret lives of billionaires lays it out pretty good..
      the puppeteers play both sides..like playing chess and playing both sides to gain the agenda..
      the border..I can’t find it now but had read once upon a time that money had been donated to gain a blind eye.. cartels spend billions to have lobbying firms influence political leaders.. our congress rarely leaves a shadow on the floors of congress.. back federal employees only put in half the time a regular wage earner works..much less take time to read the legislation that is handed to them to pass..
      years past terrorist activities like the cities suffered with BLM and Antifa..would have been frowned on..
      I will bet that those pulling the strings against are also pulling the strings for..

      our legislators are just following the directions their human traffickers want them to do.. when have you ever seen an important issue discussed and resolved pro or con.. you haven’t.. they say I am the chosen one..then they table a dead horse issue till the next election..
      where its dragged up and paraded around gaining the peoples favor all while accepting gifts,vacations,donation,sex and meals free college and job positions.. someone not playing the game is outed..

    • bic, & g, Yep, critical thinking is gone, even amongst the self proclaimed critical thinkers that don’t double check propaganda biased epochtimes’ stories about vax causing cardiac arrests:

      Epoch Times’ baseless claims:
      https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-covid-vaccines-athlete-deaths-1500-989195878254

      Epoch Times, a questionable source:
      https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-epoch-times/

      Epoch Times, Steve Bannon’s an alumni:
      https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2021/01/inside-the-epoch-times-a-mysterious-pro-trump-newspaper/617645/

      • c the “baseless” troll = soc.prog POS.. Monday Night Football in Ure face – 24yr elite athlete in prime physical condition – drops dead of cardiac arrest in front of the whole World live. Defibrillation was attempted and FAILED. CPR was performed on him for 9 minutes on the field. The “empires” prime entertainment division (bread& circuses) the NFL – Before any Physician examined Hamlin, the memo went out:only possible explanation for this is Commotio Cordis..bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!
        CC is EXTREMELY RARE condition caused by a blow to the chest within a precise , 20 MILLIsecond window. Not plausable as Hamlin intitially popped up after hit – FAILURE. Out of the millions of peeps who play contact sports, there are only about 10-20 incidences of this Freak event, almost ALL of them in CHILDREN under the age of 18. Never has this happened to a grown man in the NFL, either in a game or practice filed – EVER. Yes Commotio Cordis responds well to defibrillation, which was totally unsuccessful in Hamlins case.

        Sum Ting very wrong with this whole line of medical bullshit, and there is 100 billion dollar gorilla squatting
        on 50 yard line.

        As on of the lying liars for the “empire” we are forced to assume that you C – lie about EVERYTHING, just like Govenment, Media, alphabet agencies, wef’rs…

        We the moral and just defenders of wholesome Family values will just continue laugh our asses off at you and your ilk of self … entitled social progressive blood suckers..

        -pass the popcorn, please.

    • hello george, people subscriber and enjoy, thanks! you mention a peer who has pari-mutual wisdom; one of our companies is toe deep in the thoroughbred world and I was curious if your guru in the arena had a contact/written material etc… as I enjoy handicapping to keep the brain moving; also, if you would like some excellent hemp product we have a buy one get one free promotion and i will gladly send you guys your free one with confidence the buy one will come later, it’s a peaceful easy feeling product

  2. George, I respectfully disagree on the speaker thing. we do not want these people colluding and getting along too well. We want them crashing and bashing each other and compromising even within their own parties and groups. The founding fathers knew the conclusion was happening against the people not against the inner circles. This doesn’t look bad this looks good.. this is how the process should work. Otherwise you end up with the old nancyism “people we have to pass it and then we can read it” kind of stuff. Keep up the good work I just renewed.

      • I’m right with u out Mike on the spell check.. I still think some smart azz at Google wrote it in the spell check program just to get some chuckles…
        it’s what I would do lol lol lol
        have you seen the new chat ai.. dam.. that’s scary

    • Of the 200 some have swallowed the Kool aid and others have been bribed or blackmailed for their vote. It would be interesting to see see a couple round of votes without Mc Karthy to see a more accurate pulse of the congress

      • I wonder what it would be like if they outlawed lobbyist influence in Congress.. make it illegal to get votes by buying them ..
        or if they had to write the bills themselves..or actually read them and discuss them before voting..punch a time clock and work five days a week..
        Remember line item Veto.. gave a jobs bill actually be about what it’s says it’s for..
        if a person working for a company has an idea he sells to someone outside his company he can be sued for conflict of interest..I took care of a member of the B club he wanted to pay me a hundred bucks an hour when five dollars an hour was a real wage.. offered to build us a home in a high end neighborhood .. my bosses heard and threw a fit.. the sa.e thing when a popular rock band wanted me to travel with them while the toured to take care of dad..
        so .. how us it that members if congress are exempt from the same regulations and liabilities of a wage earner.. they or members of their families get lucrative jobs.. in positions of conflict of interest.. stock options on companies that legislation is in the works to profit those companies.. the dual standards..

    • I concur with your thoughts about McCarthy. He is a liar, a rino,took money from Bankman-Fried and stabbed conservatives in the back during the last election. He is swamp creature. You might as well put nanny goat Pelosi back in power if want to install this POS in power.

  3. What kind of lie will we hear again from non-farm payroll tomorrow?

    In the meantime, what a great ride the GBP/USD has been today!

    Always some good stuff to focus on in the midst of the things we don’t control.

  4. There’s a reason when one Pope dies, others preside over his funeral … a waiting time after, then a new Pope is named. Like Christ not resurrecting for 3 days.

    That, is how the “ritual” is suppose to be carried out. – any bad Karma has a chance to blow away and, ya don’t want Ying mixing with Yang. Don’t want that mirror image of burying one’s self. But, here we are … the symbol, there’s only one.

    Yeah, I think Francis should have stepped aside and followed tradition on this one.

    Just sayin.

  5. Ok. Let’s show the mean cards…

    I don’t mind Stoopid Stuff being taught in schools. 57 genders? “Intersectional Race Theory” — or whatever the HELL they call it this week. Global Climate Collapse? Whatever Krappe the Controllers and the fads of “Education” want. Stoopider, the better. Bad politicized, racialized math? Fine. Bad history? All fine.

    Why?

    Because I want ME and MY progeny to WIN in the Game Of Life. MY kids should triumph — and they will beat the stuffing out of their “competition,” who will be ill-informed, ill-educated, and thus HANDICAPPED compared to ME and MY kids. We’ll kick ass in a mentally and attitudinally crippled world. MY kids will be stronger, smarter, and will strive to be excellent. Work hard: work smart. Be better than you have to be; be unreasonably good.

    In the Real World, well-managed businesses prefer more EFFECTIVE employees; and if my kids decide to form their own operations and careers — a path I think is harder but better — they’ll be differentially successful. Fine. Good.

    This assumes I can effectively de-program them from the kommie brainwashing they get — and MUST parrot — at skool. I can do that. I must do that. I must equip my kids to Do Well in the Real World. I must teach them a form of gentle cynicism and true analytical thinking, and not let them be sad, resentful, intimidated, victimized, or predatory.

    I must — and can — help them to be Tigers in a world of antelope and weak, deluded fools.

    I hope for them to be leaders and successful and happy in life. This is not the easy path.

    • I am sure people in Cuba and Venezuela also thought they were smarter and would out think the mob. Certainly one on one you would be correct in a fair system. But the system they are building is not fair nor based on competence. It is based on power over your rivals and when they control the police power, your options to fight are very limited. Look how J6 rioters were treated vs the much more deadly antifa rioters and tell me if the “deprogrammed” came out ahead. We have come so far away from having the state protecting equal opportunity where the most competent typically succeeds.

    • Perxactly what my Daughter said to me when I worried her over my GrandDaughter. Stay at Home vs Working Mom, and Nanny vs Daycare..which lead to Public Edumacation vs Private. 4 anyone keeping score, the decision has been made, Stay at Home with Cobra bennies. After 1-1.5/2 yrs it will be Nanny time, and GP’s will assist.. till GD is old enough to attend Waldorf School – several in her area. this is what I believe Family is all about – helping younger gen get going. Yes GD is already thriving – kicking it above 90th percentile in every measurement they got. Born inside one mathematical degree of New Moon August 2022..not one to be trifled with..as She knows .

    • You are correct, it is not the easy path.

      Then you must try to ensure an ‘education’.

      Search for Ron Paul’s education for home schoolers. Yes, go back to go forward, read each grade’s curriculum.

      IF you only rely on the education system as it is, they will be non prepared for the real world.

      When and IF they show promise, they will still have an ownership class above them, watching….and all along, attempts will be made to limit them, sideline them, or work them like animals, in a modern way, of course.

      I quote: “To the Luciferian eugenics mindset it would even seem necessary to cull an ‘imperfect’ superman to stop him from producing more offspring of their own class and ‘pollute’ their carefully preserved gene pool with the ‘profane’ trait’ of empathy, or mercy. Bertrand Russell wrote along these lines in his long winded wet dream of the Fabian Utopia in “The Scientific Outlook”, 1931 “On those rare occasions, when a boy or girl who has passed the age at which it is usual to determine social status shows such marked ability as to seem the intellectual equal of the rulers, a difficult situation will arise, requiring serious consideration. If the youth is content to abandon his previous associates and to throw in his lot whole-heartedly with the rulers, he may, after suitable tests, be promoted, but if he shows any regrettable solidarity with his previous associates, the rulers will reluctantly conclude that there is nothing to be done with him except to send him to the lethal chamber before his ill-disciplined intelligence has had time to spread revolt. This will be a painful duty to the rulers, but I think they will not shrink from performing it.”

      Many people can now count people they have observed being done away with: suicided, jumped off tall buildings, plane accidents, drownings, shot in the back in the middle of the night, cars that accelerate through red lights and hit a tree, etc.

      To instill the passion to be the best they can be is the greatest gift you can give them. In a world of rewarding mediocracy, that greatness is needed.,

    • Interesting. 12 Drummers drumming. When looking to things from a spiritual point of view … that’s …. Interesting.

      Thanks.

  6. “Dead athletes”.

    The Vaxx marketing was powerful.

    But we all had access to the same information. Like swan diving off the Empire State building, no turning back now. Commitment was the beauty of the Vaxx.

    • We pay good money to talk with an Herbalist, who educated us on the benefits of the natural life. Good stuff to know. – you’re right about that “commitment.” Folks are stuck, after getting stuck with the inoculation.

      I hear a lot of folks are seeking a way to detox from their choice. Unfortunately, there is no turning back … advice given for removing heavy metals but (advice) is about all there is. There is no cure all for what they have.

      I’ve noticed that companies who once produced healthy food products, have been bought by other companies, who are only interested in brand but not quality and wholesomeness. – labels have changed. People who don’t read labels, are in for a surprise. Can’t just trust the brand name anymore.

      Same thing in Amish country. Read the labels !!

      Government has stepped in, forcing incorporation of bad things into what we’re once good products. I don’t know how it can be profitable to ADD harmful ingredients (that have a $ price) to a once simple recipe, but they’re doing it.

      It’s a crazy world, man.

      • Just had a friend today, talk about this very same thing. ALL the products that now have soybean oil in them. Look and be shocked. Just try to find products without it. Soybean, over 90% of the soybean crop in the United States is genetically modified and sprayed with Roundup.

        That’s just one thing. Remember the dyes, the salt, the sugar, the artificial sweeteners, and the hydrogenated vegetable oils, the high fructose corn syrup, which is another product in a lot of our foods.

        The fluoride in the water supply.

        It is a gauntlet, yet, it can be run and won.

        Read the labels, and try very hard, to cook more at home.

        And, of course, plant a garden.

      • “Government has stepped in, forcing incorporation of bad things into what we’re once good products. I don’t know how it can be profitable to ADD harmful ingredients”

        It is profitable because the ConAgras of the industry can afford to add stuff, where mom & pop can’t. Thus, they go out of business and sell their farm to Bill Gates. It is textbook fascism…

        I heard one of the (probably FOX) TV talkers last night, talking about the new “food pyramid” — the one which has Cocoa Puffs, Lucky Charms, & yeast donuts in its base and fresh eggs & lean beef in its tiny top.

        Multi-year, multi-million dollar study from Tufts University, funded by the processed food companies and the NIH…

        Everything that’s processed and full of junk, hormones, antibiotics, or is frankenfood, is “what we should eat,” and most food that’s natural or organic is the “stuff we should limit” as much as possible. If I were a kid, it’d probably be a turn-on to see a 6yo girl with B-cup boobies. At this point in my life and life-experience, it merely pains me, mostly because the parents are too stupid to realize that there’s something wrong with Sweet Susie.

    • I have said forever..well just as long as I have been alive from teenager up..
      there aren’t any secrets. !!!
      a magician shows all its slight of hand ..watch the right hand and ignore the left hand..
      the jokers at the cabinet shop use to love hiding the palet jack..how did they do it.. put a rag over the hane or a bag box etc.. you were looking for a palet jack not a palet jack with a bag on the handle..
      it’s the same.. you’ll read about an issue etc..then see them spen millions to convince everyone its not true..
      those are the issues I look at. if it’s not real why spend so much and do so much to convince everyone it isn’t real…

  7. Dude G,

    Be the first on Ure block to own the first pontifical two-fer of the century – Dead Nazi, Pope Soap on a Rope! A three-fer ? Dead, Nazi, Pedophile Pope Soap on a Rope. Oh wait thats redundant, and it is a synonym, pope = pedophile – talk about no shitter.
    Dam, you would be the envy of all the brainwashed errr I mean brain- wiped-clean mackerel snappers in all of Texas ! Get that bonfire cooking out back by Ure cement pond, break out “grannies” tripod& cauldron and start mixing up some lye, caustic aint it? organized religion that is. Another big big club that I fortunately am not a member of in any way , shape or form. Why – cause Spirituality is all about Humor and Fun, and I never seen,heard or found any of that in ANY org. religion..and I have formally studied them all( Private catholic college education – required non catholics to take some “comparative” religion courses), informally studied ?well there is not enough time, nor writing space to cover those experiences, needless to say I have found them all to be severely lacking – They got No “Juice”, none..everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY relies on drugs and mental manipulation to “break on thru to the other side”.

    * there is a price to “pay” – how you make payment is usually out of Ure control…like anthony says in chili peppers song..”cant stop the spirits when they need you” after he tells you ..”Come from space to teach you of the Pleiades”
    TURN IT UP… needz to feelz IT!

  8. well, it’s well known that republicans hate the government. you’d have to be nuts to put someone in charge of the organization they hate.

    dems – cap insulin at $35 copay, drug pricing, infrastructure (Brent Spence Bridge), Safer America Plan ($35Billion including 100,000 more cops), CHIPS, burn pits, aid for veterans, $4Billion in border funding, student loans, covid relief, alternative energy

    republicans – hunter, fauci, trannies, drag queens

  10. This is the latest interview with Loy Brunson that I’ve found so far. The first 2/3rds is just a recap of events leading up to the SCOTUS docketing but in the last third Loy said a couple of things that he hasn’t said before in any of the interviews I’ve heard to date. That is that SCOTUS may have been working on this in some form or fashion before the case was submitted and docketed based on the information that was REQUESTED to be placed in the petition. For all we know, according to Loy, this case has already been decided and things are in motion outside of the public eye if the justices have decided in favor of the Brunsons. I guess the first question to be asked is how can the juvenile farce and mockery of our governmental bodies going on in Congress now be continuing if it has been decided in their favor but time will tell and not much more time at that.

  11. I think gold has started the plunge to the $1600 level.

    Generally there’s no short term profit in buying/selling gold using dealers.

    In order to ‘trade gold’ one needs a store front to buy and sell gold. ‘Trade’ like a pioneer. Be the middleman/middlewoman. When buying from the dealer the dealer takes everything. Quite bit of ‘profit’ goes to them.

    Vs the cost to trade in and out of a gold ETF.

    • Right. Buy and sell it like you’re on Ebay. The price is always pretty close to spot plus the going premium and sometimes more for if there’s any rarity/collectibility involved and the bidding really gets going. It’s too easy now to find out the going price for things. It took me at least 2 years, maybe 3, sending a PCGS graded MS65 Morgan back and forth across the country looking for something close to the stated price in the price guides back in the early 2000s. I was always offered half of that. Never, EVER send your coins to the dealers because you’ll get the same story they tell the sellers on Pawn Stars – “I’ve got to make my money” so you get their price. On the other hand if you can find a private seller and know what you’re looking at and the price is right then you’ve found a real buying opportunity.

  12. One should be VERY careful citing Epoch Times as a news source. Just because it calls itself “news” doesn’t mean it actually is. Epoch Times is operated by the Falun Gong religious group founded by an anti-communist Chinese businessman turned religious leader.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/24/technology/epoch-times-influence-falun-gong.html

    The leader of the Falun Gong, Li Hongzhi, is viewed by his followers as “an omniscient deity” who, according to his followers, can spiritually clone himself in order to see what every Falun Gong member is doing and thinking. So much for advocating free will. Paranoia will destroy ya!

    https://www.abc.net.au/religion/the-abc-is-right-that-falun-gong-teachings-are-dangerous/12538058

    This ‘religion’ sounds remarkably similar to the ones founded by S. Korean Rev. Myung Moon or Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, the latter of whom made his living as a science fiction writer until he founded his remarkably science-fiction-like religious empire. Both of those have strict and somewhat overbearing guidelines for followers, essentially pushing the equivalent of a spiritual Ponzi scheme. Not that any other religion is any different, but most other religions are much more subtle and less invasive in the psyops methodologies.

    Needless to say, Li is not a vaccine advocate. His solution is ‘spiritual healing’ thru his own doctrine and teachings, a noble but risky endeavor. That Li’s philosophy maps over to the Epoch Times should not be surprising. The staff almost universally shadow Li’s principles and teachings in their oft-cited articles.

    • On the other hand, Epoch Times covers news you won’t likely find elsewhere, especially in the MSM. And with less “spin” than the WSJ or NYT.

    • Hmmmm – Warhammer, your explicit effort to discredit the Epoch Times and the information they publish because of their association with the Falon Gong religious group is on pretty shaky ground, in my opinion.

      Your implied connotation that Falon Gong is a “fanatical and untrustworthy” source of objective news is based on reports from the New York Times and ABC news. Hahaha. You cannot be serious! These two organizations (as wells as all of mainstream media) are nothing more than propaganda arms of the Deep State and the globalists (Herr Klaus Schwab and his ilk). My personal default position regarding information from the mainstream media is that whatever they publish or say is a lie.

      Therefore, I’m not sure what to think about Falon Gong because I haven’t done my own research. However, if they are ‘accused’ of not supporting the ‘jab’ then I have to feel that they’re awake to the nefarious Covid bioweapon and it’s associated ‘death’ jab.

      The article that George referred to this morning from the Epoch Times was an article that was providing data to support the hypothesis that the ‘jab’ was responsible for a significant increase in cardiac associated deaths in young athletes over the last two years. The article was well referenced with links to the articles it cited which contained the data (from reputable journals) being used to support their hypothesis. I was able to review the data and their conclusion was supported by the data, in my opinion.

      Many of our young people are most likely being severely injured (and killed) by the jab, with the deaths of so many athletes being the ‘canary-in-the-coal mine’ that shines light on the issue. The average young person who is not as fit and conditioned as athletes are thought to be injured or killed by the jab at a rate 20 – 30 times greater. We are witnessing genocide.

      • Haters gonna hate! Love the feedback. You can check out the Falun Gong on any number of websites, right, left and center. It is owned and operated by what my late, great father-in-law might call ‘a classic nutball.’ It, like Fox, CNN, BBC and others, has its own agenda. It conflates fiction with fact, blurring the lines. But everyone has their own free will which always comes into play when there are choices to make, which is how the Maker intended it to work. But let us not neglect to notice that recent news reports on Damar Hamlin show he is neurologically intact and now responding to visitors. His heart is beating normally, is not showing any signs of viral or vaccine induced cardio inflammation, only blunt trauma after affects, however, his bruised lungs will require a ventilator for several more days. Bottom line: not vaccine related. And BTW, the rate of athlete death due to cardio myocarditis at all levels of contact sports is essentially the same today as it was pre-pandemic. Covid has been long unleashed. The virus and its mutations are here to stay. Deal with it in the way you see best for you and Ures. But beware Fake News and emotionally driven rushes to judgement. Facts first, opinions later. Like the fictional Commander Spock, embrace logic and control one’s emotions. As for me, I’m a vaccine poster boy – you name it, I have a jab for it due to my military service. These include:

        Adenovirus
        Hepatitis A
        Hepatitis B
        Influenza
        Measles, mumps, rubella
        Meningococcal
        Poliovirus
        Tetanus-Diphtheria
        Varicella
        Anthrax
        Haemophilus influenzae type B
        Japanese encephalitis
        Pneumococcal
        Rabies
        Smallpox
        Typhoid fever
        Yellow fever

        I’ve kept current on vaccine uafter retirement because it’s kept me healthy despite travels to Brazil, the UK and Italy. If you want to live in a cave in isolation, then stay vaccine free. But if you plan to travel or mingle with the rest of the human race, you should consider the science and reject your fear of needles and get vaccinated. It may save your life and possibly the lives of those around you. But if you choose not to, then God’s speed to you. May you also roll nothing but sevens, draw 21 on every blackjack hand and be dealt a royal flush with the pot on the line, because that’s the odds you’ll be facing on dodging covid, the flu, and whatever else nature (and ???) throws at us.

      • @Warhammer, there is a HUGE scientific difference between all those ‘true vaccines’ you (and I) took in the military, and the mRNA experiment foisted on humanity. Do note that the medical authorities had to change the very definition of ‘vaccine’ in order to accommodate the mRNA clot shot. It is NOT a ‘vaccine’ under the old definitions. What it is… is a genetic alteration, with unknown ingredients that they will not list. They hide any test data about safety and efficacy. And they insisted on ‘Zero Product liability’ before allowing distribution. The ever increasing anecdotal evidence that medical ‘authorities’ refuse to acknowledge or investigate is that the mRNA shots are deadly snake oil.
        I am NOT “Anti-Vax”. I am Anti-mRNA because I did my homework, and I refuse to participate in a deadly medical experiment without full disclosure and no liability.

      • WH, I got all those more than likely, too – plus small pox for the first time ever as a 20-something year old in boot camp back in ’79. A few more as I went through the 5-plus years in the Navy, too, for the Pacific theater. Went to Mexico a few times as got shots for those times up until the end of the 90s. I trust those that I’ve had back then but fear anything they may come at me with now days and I don’t live in a cave but take everything as it comes and let the immune system I was blessed with be educated with each sniffle and mild fever I have. I let the body do what it’s supposed to do when something weird comes in. No masks, no fear, and I listen to the doctors that are telling the truth, not the ones that are trying to kill us.

        I’m sorry you can’t believe for a second that all the “Died Suddenly” stories that show up virtually every day on the likes of The Gateway Pundit and even Zero Hedge but you do whatever it is that helps you sleep at night. I suppose that’s what has gotten you this far and in such high style – along with the hard work.

        We’ve been lied to so much over the past 2 years why would they NOT lie about this one NFL player – and all the ones they you know in your heart is coming down the line? Why don’t you pay attention to the long list of articles you can bring up on Bing, if not Google, about morticians finding so many foot and a half long blood clots in so many “died suddenlies” out there piling up on their embalming tables? Why, in your opinion, was there a 40% increase in all deaths back in ’21 when such an increase has never happened outside of war in our population?

        The only thing I HATE, WH, is being lied to – especially when lives are on the line.

      • TBH, George f*cked up by citing the Epoch Times writeup instead of taking the time to find another source for the writeup or locate the research paper and link it directly: https://doi.org/10.1111/sji.13242

        Everybody knows George has nothing to do in the morning, except to research links that’re in linked-to articles, because the people who read his publications don’t know how to enter: “More Than 270 Sudden Cardiac Deaths in US Athletes” into Google’s search box (include the quotes, so Google only hits on pages which include all the words, in order), then follow the 4-5 Google links until they get to a page which links to the above *.pdf from the Scandinavian Journal of Immunology.

        I’m not going to research, to find Dr. McCullough’s work, as it exists as published at NIH because I’m an old fart, and I don’t hold hands with anyone who can’t suck a camel through the eye of a needle.

        Do your own damn’ research, and don’t shoot ANY messenger who is just being one.

  13. Looks to me like some Republicans LOVE the thought of the US Government being like Italy’s … a new coalition to run the place every 3.5 months for years on end since their minority group wouldn’t stay with the majority group in a coalition for long.

    The Democrats take the “Big Tent” approach to running things, and if you look back they did NOT let “The Squad”, which with it’s key people and hangers on had about the same number of people as the 20 rebelling Republians, DICTATE to the majority how to run the show like the Republicans are letting happen.

    McCarthy should tell those 20 to take a hike, walk across the isle and cut a deal with the Black Caucus (the new leader on the other side is also the leader of the Black Caucus), get elected Speaker and then not give those 20 dissidents ANY committee assignments or power in any other way.

    In exchange give the Black Caucus people some perks in exchange. Remember MOST of the Black Caucus people, except for a few crazies who they also know are crazy, are a lot closer to the center than all the NE or California liberals or even most of the current Democratic Party.

    Sure those 20 dissidents can vote on the bills when they come to the chamber, but don’t allow them ANY IMPUT AT ALL on ANYTHING before it comes to a floor vote.

    Those 20 want to play hardball tactics!! … well if I was McCarthy I would play hardball tactics back.

    (that exact thing just happened this week in our State Legislature … the Democrats voted 100% to help elect the new Republican speaker – who is a middle of the road type – when those off the deep end of the right, Jim Jordan screamer wannabe’s, wouldn’t compromise on ANYTHING)

  14. I can rightly blame republicans for doing nothing (except confirm justices), when they have the 3 branches. They did almost nothing that was not undone by Biden his first week. I offer little blame on them for funding the war, and the huge spending increases because they had no power. I also think this battle for leadership is very important to set the tone for investigative assignments, which is really the only power they have with just one branch. Does anyone imagine McCarthy will investigate FDA, Phizer, Fauci, or hunter Biden, J6 political prisoners given all his previous comments. He will consolidate his power and continue support of the swamp. I say great, best case they keep running in circles so they cannot pass laws to enslave us with evermore debt and enrich themselves.

  15. Re: “Not a Good Look” feat. Spoiler Alert

    Folks,

    The BBC Royal Correspondents have noted early leaks of next week’s release of the Prince Harry memoir. The tome has been ghost written by an American journalist from a troubled background whose own story reached the small screen produced and directed by George Clooney. One could well imagine now that “The Spare” will not be invited to papa’s coronation this spring.

    Speaking of coronation dust ups, let’s get back to Jan. 6th the Second brewing in DC. Prepare thy pronoun slings and arrows for release. May the best he/him, she/her, it/them be victorious!

    • Re: “Dogs” feat. Pink Floyd

      Folks,

      The leaks continue as it emerges that the two princes fought resulting in Prince Harry falling upon and breaking a dogbowl. “The Daily Mail” has dutifully published a collage of images. The Prince of Montecito is pictured disembarking from his suv ark to take his black lab Pula (apologies to any Romanian readers) for walkies as the California atmospheric river unleashes a downpour.

      Over in America, modern day Black Princes continue their joust at Capitol in efforts to secure the Gavel powers. A tenth charge will be the charm? Meanwhile CNN reports that legislators are unable to receive classified security briefings until being sworn in after a Speaker selection. Maybe Mr. Putin realized extending an olive branch of a peace truce while the US Congress can’t declare war is a no-lose proposition. Of course presidents Z. and von Hindenberg claim Moscow is gasping for air. Intubate the swamp environs, stat?

    • Spare Us from Harry’s whining about how badly he has been treated in life because he was just a spare to the throne.

    • Re: 11 and counting

      Folks,

      Looking for suggestions. Who would be a good fit for the role of Mr. McCarthy in upcoming SNL skits?

  16. other brother Darrell,

    You wrote yesterday: “my personal take, is that Mc is a piece of shit dog,,, makes me wonder if someone got ahold of his dog lease, away from his owners.”

    Thanks for those comments. Nicely stated my friend. I totally agree with you that Mc (McCarthy) is a POS dog. McCarthy has been called the consummate liar from his mentor when McCarthy was on his staff in Congress. California Rep. Bill Thomas (R), who employed McCarthy for years stated, “Kevin is whatever you want him to be. He lies. He’ll change the lie if necessary. How can anyone trust his word?”

    Seems like the whole Republican leadership named “Mc” are also POS dogs. And I have nothing against Irish or Scotch lineage since I have a lot myself.

    *Mitch “Mc”Connell-the POS fool recently said, “our number 1 priority is Ukraine.” The stupid turkey neck SOB, thinks he is such a statesman. The Chinese Commies, deep state, and your Chinese wife must have you so blackmailed. What about the border, our injured and maimed vets, infrastructure in the U.S. Shouldn’t they be at the front of the line?

    What about all the bullshit in the $1.7 TRILLION dollar budget bill with 4000+ pages that includes freebies to the tune of $2,000,00 per year for miscellaneous expenses for members of Congress that you supported with the Democrats “Mc”Connell? You and your RINO supporters are a disgrace to the Founding Fathers and all our military that gave the ultimate price for our freedom.

    “Mc”Connell’s stand-in wife, Elaine Chao, and her father are friends and business partners of the Chinese Commie Hierarchy. You can listen to a 9-minute video of the ties Elaine Chao and her father has to the CCP, and how much her father received for shipbuilding and shipping for the CCP. The video also documents contributions RINO McConnell received from Dominion, who if you follow that road leads to the election distortions in November 2020 and November 2022 via China, and other countries. Not including all the mail ballots that were used to stuff ballot boxes.

    Most interesting is a meeting in 2019 where Emperor Narahito of Japan held a ceremony for succession to the throne which Elaine Chao attended representing the U.S. and China sent the Vice Chairman of the CCP. Japanese TV filmed the Vice Chairman and Chao standing and talking for some time with the Vice Chairman’s back to the room so no one could read his lips and Chao just nodding while the other guests were seated.

    **Ronna “Mc”Daniel- this POS is the niece of Mitch Romney the ultimate RINO and has not spent money where needed in the last election. Her wagon was tied to McConnell, who purposely did not help anyone that has supported Trump.

    I have received literally thousands of emails under various names about contributing to the Republican Party again. Why Ronna? Were you out there campaigning like Trump was? Hell no you weren’t!! She was too busy chartering jet flights to visit around the country for fundraisers and spending boatloads of donations on Food and Hotels, Flowers, Makeup, Hair, and Clothes.

    https://www.politico.com/news/2022/12/18/mcdaniel-rnc-chair-campaign-00074503

    ***And another “Mc”… Glenn “Mc”Call, chair of the RNC’s Budget Committee has defended her spending. More than likely he is in on it. I thought they caught the head of the Irish Mafia…Whitey Bulger, but it is alive and well in D.C. aka Deep Cesspool.

    I have joined many other Republicans that no longer contribute to the RNC because of 3 straight ass whippings in many elections, and because of the way Ronna McDaniel blows money, much less being a niece of one of the biggest RINOs in Congress, that slime bag Romney. Many elections are now rigged elections as shown in video tapes and software tracking, but where in the hell was Ronna and the RNC in exposing how some of our elections are totally rigged? They should have spent every dime making sure the elections were honest and exposing on paid ads how they cheat. And then lobby to do away with certain agencies that no longer uphold our laws in this country.

    Like many Americans I am no longer a Republican and I never was a Demo_rat. I am on the verge of going totally John Galt.

    Heads up!!! We are totally screwed as a country: From rigged markets to wars created by bankers, to open borders designed to destroy our culture and prosperity, to government created diseases and non-approved un-tested vaccines that are allowed to go viral because they pad the CDC, NIH, CDC, Drug Companies, and politician’s pockets.

    We now have a woke military, and a crooked FBI hierarchy that doesn’t blast the Justice Department for not prosecuting the Biden’s and Clintons, and Obamas. We are sending weapons and close to $100 Billion to a country that was and is the epitome of evil, and allowed their own citizens to be attacked by internal Nazis aka Azov Battalion. The American people do not even know what pockets those billions go into and how they funnel back to our politicians.
    The crooked Congress ignores all the problems in our own country. From phony climate change based upon phony statistics to lying reports from the government on labor employment and unemployment, and lying how much the inflation rate actually is….. everything now is ONE BIG LIE! And “Mc”Connell still says Ukraine is the #1 priority!!

    All the Mc’s in politics and their RINO buddies are all in bed with the biggest bunch of slime bags in the history of this country. It doesn’t matter which party you vote for, they are all controlled now.

    We are going down, and it isn’t going to be pretty, and it is coming soon! Time Texas and some other states consider cutting strings ASAP with sanctuary States that are so liberal with postage stamp sized land mass and # of citizens, but still get 2 Senatorial votes like Texas. We need to build our own fences and add $50/barrel and $10/MCF to all petroleum shipped out of the state to pay for them. It could happen in one year. See how quickly those liberal assed Yankees and liberal Coastal elites that love sanctuary cities and states wake up when they get their monthly electric and fuel bills that reflect the added cost to build the TEXAS double fence with a mine field in the middle.

    If something isn’t changed and power isn’t taken from the commies (democrats) and RINOs in charge, we all go down with the boat. What we heard last night that the 16 of the 20 holdouts caved which will allow McCarthy to win the Speaker’s position. 16 new boats, jets, vacation mansions on the horizon?

      Hey, maybe you should have your own blog? I’ll subscribe. Maybe just do a SubStack? You clearly like to write and you do it well. Why not monetize your talent? Although I get that making it a job may take the fun out of it. Even George finds some days dreary I’m sure.

      • Hi Glefs,
        Thank you for the compliment. Funny you mention blogging. Must run in the family. My daughter is a big “influencer”. Quit as school psychologist in the Highland Park, Texas school district because she was making double the money on her blog as she was with a masters in psychology.

        I might just do it when I get some more time here in the near future. I have written childrens books, poetry, and do post on here occasionally when “I get a gut full of the crooks in the world”. It is rather cathargic and certainly refreshing hearing from others with the same feelings on the subject being discussed.
        Best regards and happy New Year

        • Have I got a deal for you, WTHS!
          For only a few million dollars, I’ll sell you UrbanSurvival – the website.
          I’d keep doing the Peoplenomics site for subscribers and you can do the writing and mgt on this site. Using your daughter’s monetizing skills, imagine how fabulously wealthy you could become! And I’d be able to move one step closer to [actual] retirement. Which the present doesn’t want to permit.
          Just an idea, mind you. Nowhere near as much upside potential as working the Permian Basin petro biz, but this way you’d have a hedge in the event the Dems go after oil (like they have coal)…

    • Ronna – NO

      Personally, I’m backing Harmeet Dhillon, whom I believe would be much more interested in republicanism, and much less interested in her hair & nails, and jetting around the country…

  17. Good Morning! Covid day 3 and I feel good! Great night’s sleep and I feel almost normal (whatever that is). Mild throat irritation cough is really the only lingering effect I have now. Very pleased with my preps and early application of the protocol treatment. The lesson here is profound. I have absolutely NO TRUST in the pharmaceutical ‘profit Nazis’ that corrupted the medical establishment and banished doctors who spoke out against them and attempted early intervention treatment. I did my own research, and found the best, most open information came out of India, where their covid death rate dropped 97% when they started handing out Ivermectin to the population for early treatment. They resisted The Who and FDA pressure and went their own way. Japan had similar results. The FDA now has ZERO CREDIBILITY with me as a medical advisory panel. Regarding Ivermectin, the FDA said:
    “You are not a horse! You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all, stop it!
    Yep…. And seriously, FDA… YOU ARE NOT COMPETENT and apparently a very good contra-indicator of what really needs to be done.

    Glad you have your preps, George. Keep them handy. Despite my best efforts of isolation for three years, I suspected that with this widespread virus that this day would eventually come that I would get infected. Know how to handle it and treat it on your own, because the medical establishment will kill you. I’m kinda glad to get this over with because now I have built natural immunity that is far better than what the killer clot shots offer, and now I know how to treat myself. Still a proud member of the ‘Control Group’ free of the killer medical establishment, and I feel fine! As always, this is NOT (deadly) MEDICAL ADVICE. End of my covid experience.

    • This was the preamble to the above:
      Covid chronicle: Two cans of locally produced guava juice yesterday seems to have ‘stemmed the tide’ from my gut. I’ve been on a water diet the past day, so maybe I’m just ‘empty’. I felt well enough to have a bowl of chicken noodle soup. As Ray reminded me, I am taking several extra grams of vitamin C throughout the day. Night before last my arthritic hip was keeping me awake, as well as frequent trips to the WC. Yesterday I remembered what they taught me in the hospital. Tylenol and Ibuprofen taken together is very effective. Tylenol helps with the sharp pain, and Ibuprofen is better for the aches. And the main thing is to keep the inflammation down. Last evening as I write this log, the hip feels fine, my gut is quiet, and I am looking forward to a good night’s sleep! Will let you know how that works out.

      • Thanks, Len. I’m hangin’ in there. Wish I could hang a few pharma Nazis, too.

        Looking to the future… the pandemic has become endemic, and if you chose to remain unvaxxed you will still need to deal with it.. probably forever. Early treatment works, but there is also a means of prophylactic protection with Ivermectin. Some studies have shown that a weekly dose of ivermectin conveys protection from covid for a week if you are exposed. Key is to take it in advance of exposure. I have corresponded with a very smart nurse who tried this on herself.. also unvaxxed. She fought the ‘mandate’ at her hospital and even volunteered for the covid ward. She worked for several months with daily exposure and never got sick. With increasing pressure to take the mandated shot for health workers, and seeing how poorly the medical establishment was caring for covid patients, she took early retirement and walked away… still uninfected.

        So there’s the future. If you will expose yourself to crowds or suspect possible exposure, take a dose of Ivermectin. The stuff is safer than Tylenol. In sub Saharan Africa they have handed it out to children like candy for years. Ivermectin IS the miracle drug for this now endemic disease. Get you some.

      • “Early treatment works, but there is also a means of prophylactic protection with Ivermectin. Some studies have shown that a weekly dose of ivermectin conveys protection from covid for a week if you are exposed.”

        I don’t know. The more I think about it, the more I want a blood test to see if I have dead COVID barnacles floating in my bloodstream. (my Doc swabbed my sinuses before telling me I was “negative.” That was over 2 weeks after I got sick, though). I have been taking 20mg of ivermectin and 200mg of HCQ, once weekly for well over a year, now. My ick was really bad — not the worst ailment I’ve ever had, but probably in the top 5, and it left me weak for weeks. I’d prefer not to repeat it…

    • Had no idea anyone was keeping score. Thanks for this fascinating and potentially profitable link!

      • AND… the coins were silver. That’s why. I still gag when I remember LBJ saying that silver was far too valuable to use as money!

      • I remember when making four dollars an hour was a vision where I would be wealthy.. when I met my wife.. ( not that long ago ) nurses made four dollars and fifty cents an hour.. they got up to five dollars in the nineties.. the job I had was volunteer..flight nurses made 8 dollars an hour… when I worked for the county the line men for the electric company made twelve dollars an hour.. long term line men made fifteen and that was pushing it.. in the eighties you would go to church and the announcements.. and the pastor would say.. well over at martha’s the daughter can’t take care of her mom .. she they put her at the home.. anyone wishing to volunteer a few hours.. would be greatly appreciated..
        and you would say yes I can do two or three days.. you would work right next to the daughter..
        then when things started to make the changes.. they would get volunteers from the prison or the mental hospital.. there was once.. there were three of us to take care of six wings.. I was on the heavy lift.. and we had one young woman and one that was a volunteer from the mental hospital and boy was he out there.. it was scary.. the young woman came and said to me.. if you so much as see this man heading my way.. I don’t care what in the heck you are doing.. but you come running..
        Now on the wing she had there was this cute little old lady.. real sweet.. one of the nicest ladys you could ever get to know.. anyway she got up.. to go to the toilet.. went but was confused.. see she didn’t go into the toilet in her room she wandered down the hall.. the little woman seen there was someone in every bed.. but hey.. there is that nice aid I will ask her where to go LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL I heard the scream a city block away.. LOL LOL LOL LOL
        things have definitely changed.. since then.. You worked next to new RN;s and Dr.s .. I worked right next to my doctors.. got some great stories there to.. LOL…
        It was how it was.. you went because you cared enough to help out.. it isn’t like that anymore.. it is still looked down on as one of the lowest jobs in the world.. but it was where I found who I wanted to be.. Many of the kids today.. know nothing about the people they take care of mostly to keep a distance from them and thier lives…. I loved to get to know them.. find out their history who they were inside.. rich poor or in between.. they all are the same when they go to the hospital.. doesn’t matter if your a politician or a burger flipper.. you leave with nothing in this world.. except who you are..
        My brother said something that was quite profound for me.. he said at my mothers passing.. “isn’t it sad that at the end of your life. all you have are a few photos a couple of boxes of assorted crap and the memories of who you are.. ” he was right on on that one.. a week ago a young woman got really sick.. she and I were talking and the doctors seen she has some serious issues.. she is pretty young just turned fifty.. and she said.. I didn’t have a clue.. my perspective on life changed in that moment.. I laughed and said yes isn’t it profound.. its family,friends and faith.. everything else is the illusion that everyone wants you to believe has importance..
        I find it ironic at how people value a number more than the person anymore.. very few even know who their neighbors are.. I can honestly tell you I know who my neighbors are.. and the families down the street.. what their hobbies are.. what their likes and dislikes.. speaking about that I need to run over tommies batman mask.. let him pic what color he wants so he can go sledding and not get cold.. he’s two.. his mommy is twenty four.. He wants to be batman more than anything in the world..

    • Speaking of so-called “money”, Len, the wife and I were in Perth, courtesy of Dear Uncle on my part, back in ’82 and managed to hang on to Australian notes from $50 on down and a small handful of change. Is this currency still viable? I seem to remember something about Australia reissuing or replacing currency from that era sometime between then and now. I loved the way Australia made their coins thicker so they’d retain some weight. Felt better in your hand and pockets.

  19. Disparaging the Epoch Times with references from the New York Times is like using Satan to rip on Jesus. That is what is called A Non Starter.

  26. “Biden: GOP speaker drama ’embarrassing,’ ‘not a good look’ ”

    So, parliamentary debate doesn’t look good to someone whose political party has been known for falling in lockstep, for 70 years?

    The GOP circus shouldn’t embarrass anyone for whom “getting it right” is more-important than patronizing the crowd. After all, the most contentious House Speaker contest took a half-year to resolve, during which time the government pissed zero dollars away. Thanks to McConnell and a pack of RINOs in the Senate, the House can’t fix anything until October, anyway, so as far as I’m concerned it’s popcorn time…

    I anticipate Mac will win, but not until he lets the conservatives lock him up so tightly he can’t even think about emulating Boehner or Ryan, or doing stupid shit. If’fn we’re going to fix government, we’re going to have to do what it takes to fix government.

    Since that stumbling, bumbling embarrassment in the White House doesn’t like the “look” of the Republican caucus, I’d venture to say the Repugs are on the right track…

  27. “So, say: You don’t think the media is getting hysterical and pulling hot words out of its collective butts to gain readers, do you?

    A further nit would be the NY Post calling winds (with gusts to 70) being hurricane force winds (which actually begin at 74 sustained) but not here to quibble.”

    Damn’ George! Next thing we know you’ll start chasing tornaddies!

    (Remember, like BJ, “chasing” is only an expression. None of us want to actually catch a tornado, ‘cuz if we did, we wouldn’t know what to do with it…)

  28. New Fed chair candidates . Musk and Jamie dimon both looking for new jobs .and also zelensky, got experience sarking at the hill for money . Goes a long way in job app

    • Must be member of kazarian mafia to qualify for head job..only one person ever in history of fed was not a member. Big nasty dark club, thank goddness WE aint members!

  29. From the March 2020 lows, the Nikkei offers the most identifiable weekly fractal pattern:
    1st fractal: 33 weeks
    2nd fractal: 72 weeks (14/30/30 weeks) with nonlinear gap between week 29 and week 30 of the 3rd fractal subseries
    3rd fractal: 15/30 of 31 weeks/22-31 weeks.

    The 31 week 2nd subfractal is composed of a 5/12/10/6 of 7 week fractal
    subseries equivalent to 20/53/42/30 days with with final 30 days composed of a (2)/5/10/10/7 days subseries ending in a nonlinear 2nd subfractal fashion on Friday 13 January 2023.

    As McCarthy flails to deal with the intransigence of the party’s extreme right that Boehner earlier had to deal with (and with a much larger 247 GOP majority), the asset debt system’s valuation will undergo its mathematical deterministic valuation decline …

  30. G-Man,
    It seems to me that a small group who is challenging the ongoing machine bureaucracy is to be applauded, not denigrated.This is the first time in 100 years that this has happened. The changes in House rules may not make much difference but they are more than has happened in many years. It seems to me that your attack does not recognize that there may be some positive things to come from the Kabuki Theatre in the House
