Yeah, that's a fun post, Citizen. Lots of Kamela kringe, and Alex Jones is correct. Leaving the party while ripping the veil off warmongering Democrats, Tulsi Gabbard is a legitimate hero to less-lunatic Democrats, Independents, and rational Republicans. She would be an amazing VP on her own merits while disarming sexist/racist attacks and DEI talking points. She and Trump would have big-league coattails, ring the death-knell of the Democrat party, and usher in 12 years of an Americans-first agenda.

If Trump chooses a white-male running mate, the ticket will own the white-supremacist label. If Trump chooses a running mate from Florida, somebody must relocate, and the ticket will be accused of rigging the system. Alex and I say, Tulsi for VP. Nothing but upsides to that.

"Something tells me Vivek is a little too slick..." He's Indian - That could be good or very bad... It can really vary... BUT I have to give him the benefit of the doubt... Not so keen on JD Vance as I once heard him say or write to the effect that he was not interested in politics and was suppose to be doing VC type work to help the midwest but now he is in politics after writing a book....... Trump aside (who got into politics after Obama humiliated him at some dinner), I have to wonder if he really made alot of $ outside politics as why would you get into that???

Reasonable Horses's avatar

Giving the benefit of the doubt is a credit to your character. I do like JD, and I’m only a little wary of Vivek. They both seem smart, sincere, and decent. I figure most people do the best they can between lapses of human nature. On the other hand, career politicians are mostly shameless and incapable of humility. I like a thoughtful, passably qualified citizen jumping into politics with an attitude like, ā€œSomebody has to do something!ā€ JD and MTG might fit that profile. Behind the msm ridicule, she can make sense. I can imagine Obama’s ridicule triggering Trump into running. He’s obviously driven to win, and he thrives on a challenge. I hope the beating he’s endured stokes his fire and humbles him a little bit.

Her support for Bernie turned me off, but she’s no flake. She did challenge Dem’s plan to attack Syria, and it cost her. In her own words, ā€œWar is justified when it is in the best interest of our national security, and when it is the last resort, when all diplomatic efforts have been completed and exhausted and war is the last possible route that must be taken to ensure the safety, security, and freedom of the American people.ā€ https://lexfridman.com/tulsi-gabbard-transcript

Pulling out of nuclear treaties was not a great move. Russia scaled up hypersonic missiles, and we depend on China for things needed to make anything to even be able to closely counter what the Russians are doing. Trump also created worse relations with China, which Biden seems to be worsening by driving Russia and China closer...we are not looking good unless we have some major drawdowns and mind our own business...

I can usually only handle about 10 seconds of stupid. But I watched the whole revolting thing and noticed the hand movements...always the right hand up in the air first , sometimes looking upwards (towards what, we do not know because surely she's not a believer), then the last part of it with the left left arm and hand motioning downwards. She has apparently practiced this screed a lot with a variety of whiny, nasal vocal inflections so it will appear different each time. Not.

This catch-phrase, spoken by her as a kind of talisman, is so over-used by her that its lost for most of us any ability to generate satire, since it is self-mocking when SHE says it at this point. The sad thing is that this phrase is NOT nonsensical. There is a deeply evil message that is masquerading in this pseudo-wisdom.

"I can imagine what can be, unburdened by what has been" when you boil it down means what is imagined and what desired doesn't have to reference anything that frames our culture. No law, no constitution, no tradition, no cultural norm, no moral norms, NOTHING has to frame what we imagine. This is Marxist ideology. Destabilize the family, and attack the culture and create dependency on the only island of stability you can see, the authoritarian regime..

Being burdened by what has been is the greatest gift we live with. We should keep mocking this tom-foolery, and we should speak against it.

I am NOT a kamala supporter by any means, but obviously the way they mean it is as unburdened by the mistakes/racism/oppression etc of the past, kind of like "some men see things as they are, I see things that never were and asky why not".... etc. but it's so meaningless that it can be easily abused and interpreted however the speaker - or the listener - wants. Laughable as a stock phrase by her.

Angus McPherson's avatar

I agree that they want us, or assume that we will, think they mean "unburdened by the mistakes/racism/Oppression" and when I first heard it that is where my mind went.

When I think about it though, I have concluded that we MUST be burdened by the mistakes/racism/oppression. If we are not, we won't learn from them. In a sense, the post modern aggrievement culture with its perpetual victimhood persists because these "victims" have to be unburdened by the past, since their current experience is NOTHING like their ancestors experiences. The oppression of Jim Crow, and trauma of slavery , the demoralization of living through a pogrom. We will be right back there if we are unburdened by the realities of this very real history. So we need to be burdened by all that. We must learn from our mistakes.

IF we don't , we become easy prey for the authoritarian regimes.

Do not fly Boeing, lol. Instead fly that new Chinese airliner I'm sure it's safe. And put your fellow American neighbors who build Boeing airplanes out of work because the media has whipped you into yet another fearful frenzy.

There were two crashes five years ago that killed 346 people do to a very real design flaw. That flaw was addressed. Do you know how many passengers have flown Boeing since then without dying? Do you have any idea? It's about 8 billion. So the odds of a passenger dying in a Boeing airplane (that was Boeing's fault) over the last five years are *1 in 23 million*.

But lets all panic over a 1 in 23 million chance of dying because the media told us too. The numerical illiteracy in the country is shocking, no wonder things are going to hell in a handbasket.

Apologies if this comes off as harsh but this comment is just foolish. Those are fellow Americans that build those planes.

I have a friend who’s a swim coach. She was saying that one of the pools where she coaches hired an autistic lifeguard. The problem with that is when she asked him to put the ladder in so some of the older swimmers could climb out of the pool without getting scraped up, the kid froze. My friend ended up doing it herself, but the point is that what will that lifeguard do when (because it’s not an ā€œifā€ when you’re around a pool) something out of the norm happens? Because certain autistics struggle with anything that isn’t routine. Someone could die, and they’d never admit it was because they hired someone who shouldn’t be in that position in the first place?

Their fix is that the single-point-of-failure they designed into the MAX now has a warning light to let the pilots know that the airplane will be dynamically unstable, should the pilots have to execute a go-around. This way, they won't be surprised when the airplane becomes uncontrollable.

It's not about the probabilities, it's the fact that they now have a culture of failure. These things tend to catch up in industries as unforgiving as aviation.

It has been fixed there needs to be more than one point of failure now. MCAS was designed to prevent a nose high pitch attitude while hand flying the aircraft with the flaps in the up position. Usual operations results in the aircraft rarely or never being in that situation. The first crash was the result of the wrong AOA vane being installed and it gave the wrong information to flight instruments and the crew not flying the aircraft. The second was a bird stile that nocked one of the AOA vanes off.

Don Allard's avatar

The max was not dynamically unstable when the MCAS activated. Nor was either crash subsequent to a missed approach. The mcas presented as a stab trim runaway due to AOA failure. Both crashes were very preventable by recognizing the stab trim runaway and deselecting both stab trim cutout switches. Both crews were poorly trained third world airline pilots. U.S crew would have landed those jets. That being said Boeing should never have designed it like that

KT, it would appear as if you have not tried booking a flight anywhere of distance recently. It's VERY difficult to find reasonable, let alone desirable, flights to most places (at least that I've wanted to go to) that do not put you on some type of Boeing aircraft. I wanted non-Boeiing flights, but was unable to arrange that for any leg of a recent, multi-destination, round trip. Obviously, I made it back unscathed.

Good assessment, Jeff C, but it's not just about the long-ago incident. It's about recent incidents (which, though, may be reported or noticed in a biased manner); DEI air and ground crews and air traffic controllers (not unique to Boeing); and risks we *choose.* In my medical career, I found it both frustrating and fascinating that people might choose to smoke cigarettes while refusing to accept a different, lesser (imho) risk. It also involves feelings of control. We have no control over the safety of the airplanes in which we commit our lives, but we do have a great deal of control over the risks we take when driving a car, so even though statistically flying may be safer, it may not feel that way to the tunas in the flying can. People also rely on black humor, such as making fun of Boeing's incidents, in order to cope with a reality that may otherwise be too dismaying (and may internally apply their opinion of Boeing to all airliners). Finally, I'm America First, but I'm also Quality First and Work Ethic First. It has to be earned. Too many Americans have lost their work ethic and integrity to deserve knee-jerk loyalty.

I don't find it frustrating or fascinating that people would choose to smoke cigarettes while refusing to accept a different, but lesser risk. Makes perfect sense. People actually LIKE smoking. There is a risk/benefit tradeoff. OTOH, a different, lesser risk could be refused without giving up anything desirable. So why not refuse a risk that's all risk, no benefit? My wife and I quit smoking 40 years ago, not because we didn't like smoking, but because we assessed the risk/benefit, which previously FAVORED smoking, had turned against it. I don't regret smoking in my 20s, nor does she. We really enjoyed it, and now, well into our senior years, we're very healthy, showing no signs of damage from the long-ago habit. It would be stupid (for us, since we greatly value our health) to smoke 3 packs a day throughout our adult lives. In our twenties, it was worth it. Also, that was before the cost went through the roof, and before it became impossible to smoke when and where we wanted to.

Thanks for that perspective. I have always been repelled by the smell of tobacco smoke, so it's hard to conceive of it as being enjoyable to breathe it on purpose.

Thanks for reading my reply with an open mind, which is not the norm, unfortunately. Yes, believe me, smoking can be very enjoyable. I agree on the jabs. My wife and I never considered them, despite being seniors. Seemed all risk, most likely no reward, given what we knew even before the rollout. Still, I didn't try to talk others out of it, after all, I'm not omniscient and it didn't seem completely impossible SOME people might have avoided a bad bout of COVID if jabbed. Since I didn't know with near 100% certainty, I had no business telling them what to do.

As a Boeing Brat it is so sad to see the dog pile on a company that had an amazing safety record…until they merged with MD. Several businesses decisions since then including outsourcing parts and assembly have led to most of the part failures as of late ( these were from Spirit assembly in the Midwest , a wholly owned subsidiary of Boeing, but no one knows them so Boeing gets all the negative press) The MCAS problem was a known design flaw and as such should have been litigated as such. What a waste of a once great company. I’m devastated by the loss of life. Crushed by the hate being spewed towards those who are just trying to make an honest living by my C&C tribe.

We can also now worry about the mechanics in some American airports - due to illegal immigration and DEI, it’s becoming one and the same in some cases 😬

I don’t enjoy flying at all now that I do get to hear all the drama and issues on the inside of the industry but statistically airline flights are still one of the safest ways to travel, surpassing vehicular travel by far. And I drive my van nearly every day so šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø guess we all have our risk thresholds. Airline travel is still low risk. But I think that may be close to changing.

Thanks for making this skeptical point, Jeff C. My husband has worked in aviation for 20+ years (not ever Boeing). He has said similar things to your comment. Incidents happen all the time in aviation, including serious-but-less-than-a-crash ones, and across all major aviation companies. The fact that there is such a laser focus on Boeing right now, during the presidency of a China-owned puppet, while a China-owned 737 clone is waiting impatiently in the wings, should give rational people pause and raise questions about motives.

That said, I wish these corporations would stop making it so easy to take them out. The ā€œculture of failureā€ has a lot to do with bowing to DEI that they were told was the key to success. And I’m sure greed. That’s my personal opinion…

But the current media takedown is not commensurate with the crime (unless they intend to shut down all aviation manufacturers and airlines too, for myriad safety failures). And if the public cries out for this, just note what we will lose…no more quick dashes to Grandma across the country, no more emergency flights home for illnesses of a loved one, no more easy access to adventurous locations that otherwise would be a week’s drive away…

And that’s just within our own country.

I hope people don’t let themselves get conned on this.

It works a bit different since there are more parties on the ballot with a serious chance. To prevent the "far-right" from winning in many districts some candidates dropped out and endorsed the candidate with the biggest chance of winning against the FN candidate.

Thank you for the added context. Though the "left" held on in France, I think this is a much more nuanced political story than the MSM is telling. Remember, the reason Macron called for the snap election in the first place was due, in part to the outcome of the EP elections but also because he feared the National Rally party would only grow in popularity and become completely unbeatable in October when, I believe, elections were originally scheduled to take place.

I pray the French people find the courage to stop cowering in the face of labels (e.g. "racist!" "Islamophobe!" "nationalist !") constructed by a media and elite class that is insulated (for now) from what is a growing Islamic state in France. Sharia law is heading down the pike and soon, they won't have any political options left. England is in the same precarious situation. There is nothing wrong with loving your country and its culture and its history. The reckoning, when it comes, is really going to be ugly and painful.

What is perhaps even stranger is that the rural communities tend to be more anti-immigration while it's the major cities that are filled with immigrants. Perhaps you don't notice anymore if you live there since the change was gradual for those who live there, although when I visit a major European city it's unmistakable.

There was a fear with some that all the Muslims are going to start their own party, some of which happened in the UK, and take a lot of parliamentary seats (perhaps in coalition with the left, even though they are conservative). So far this hasn't happened to any large extent, they are far more focused on fighting each other, many having brought the conflicts from the old country with them. It's going to be truly dangerous if/when they turn on the rest of society which isn't armed or even prepared for any kind of conflict. The police also don't seem prepared to deal with it.

Before Lebanon will be turned into a fruitful orchard,

The afflicted also will increase their gladness in Yahweh,

And the needy of mankind will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

For the ruthless will come to an end and the scoffer will be finished,

Indeed all who are watching out to do evil will be cut off;

Who cause a person to sin by a word,

And ensnare him who reproves at the gate,

And defraud the one in the right with meaningless arguments.

It’s not ā€œgender affirming care.ā€ It’s plastic surgery.

The left wants to make slicing off the forearm flesh of little girls to make penises for them a health care issue -which it is not. Both boys & girls have to take drugs which are dangerous for them to take. Those young children would be healthier without the drugs or plastic surgery. Also, there’s always risk of death or disability in taking drugs or having surgery. Why should young children endure that? I thank God that Texas is taking a stand against this type of child abuse.

Genital mutilation through plastic surgery is one of the worst parental abuses a child can endure. It will impact the rest of their once innocent lives in many ways.

So disingenuous.... And dishonest! The media should be held accountable for the crap they have spewed the last 8+/- years! All during the Trump term they spewed lies about him and his supposed shortcomings and then started in with the "glowing" accounts of the sharpness of Biden. What a joke! But it was done maliciously and needs to be dealt with!

covfefe

According to Diane Marshall, Covfefe' (pronounced

"cuv - fee-fae") is an Antediluvian term for "In the end we win." It was commonly used by the sons of Adam to rail against the evil actions of the fallen who had led man astray.

The term gained popularity prior to the great deluge and was rarely used after the flood subsided. It regained favor around the time Nimrod was building his tower, after which it was entirely lost in translation at Babel.

"Despite the constant negative press covfefe," -

Donald Trump

Rush used to (correctly) state that early polls are simply influencing tools, designed to push voters one way or another.

Regarding blden and the election coverage I have two observations:

The dystopian view of the left on blden accomplishments on twitter and in the press and in tv ads is nothing short of Orwellian. Textbook, and yet no one seems to be able to remember or research even the most wild claim/lie. Short memories and stupidity are over abundant. Second, why is it that idea of America first is continually panned as ā€˜right wing nationalism’? Isn’t it Britain first and France first among those countries electorate? The thought processes- if there are any - are utterly illogical to the degree of maddening to one who approaches these topics with logic. Perhaps that’s the point?

Yeah, we get the "damp cold" in the winter on this side of the mountains.

Ripple's avatar

Relative humidity % is a highly misleading measure of the level of discomfort due to humidity. Most people don't realize that there is an inverse relationship between RH % and temperature. I.e., assuming the actual amount of moisture in the air is the same, RH% goes down as temperature goes up and vice versa.

Dew point is a much better measure of uncomfortable humidity.
