  1. Ellen. Oh, that's just great. Make him apologize to the MAGA people and put him in the time warp historical isolation chamber so the establishment left or the Deep State won't notice or realize it, right? Here's a somewhat curious Candace Owens video excerpt. She talks about Trump, vaccines and more, perhaps pertinent to Ellen and Michael's clash.
  2. Russian forces have announced a withdrawal from Kherson.

      "Losing men 6 to one." 

      My question about the casualties ratio was overlooked.

      Thank you for responding.

      Some gruesome news related to casualties on the RF side. Intercepted calls are being turned into effective propaganda.

  3. Here's an item from President Trump, looking at the Senate to be seated in the new Congress January 3 2023. -- each state has its own rules, procedures and steps that it takes before certification -- the official results have survived the process. For example, the state of Pennsylvania will certify its election after the official canvasses -- on November 28th.
  4. I got over-enthusiastic with the new beta version of Descript. Its biggest change is the Storyboard with new 'scenes,' and the coolest addition is its own trained 'real' AI voices. This is an outgrowth of the 'Overdub' ability, which lets you train the AI to fill in errors using your own voice. The newest additions have 'moods' much better represented than the Blakify voices, which are pretty damn good. Premiere:
  5. My wild guess is the GOP gains ~25 seats in the House in early projections, and that the totals will be within five seats once each seat is certified. I think the GOP will ultimately gain three seats in the Senate, but it might not be apparent until later. I'll know how wrong I am if Georgia does not go to a run-off. States in my top five Whither list are Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Nevada and New York. I guess a clean sweep of the statewide races in Arizona by GOP candidates, and have no "feel" for the others, though I will not be surprised at broad GOP gains or increased margins for incumbents. My hope is for a certain sobriety among commentators ... but I expect that is the Pollyanna part of my personality. I'll attend to any question not foul by the Guidelines. -- fave commentary of the day is the Wall Street Journal quoting Trump's warning to the Florida Governor. I've made a secret bet with myself about the winner of the Alaska House of Representatives free four all. In some interviews recently, Sarah Palin seemed a bit down on her own chances. If Peltola wins, one of us loses, but I consider Alaska to be a singular case, not an example one can generalize from. Confidence in my own rough expectations being borne out? 9/10. I'm thinking of Adam Selene ...

      The Reuters fact-check was relentless -- guy is Ukrainian!

      Follow the crumbs to his platform and see his oeuvre. 

  7. This guy Simon Rosenberg is right now probably the foremost Hopium purveyor on the Democratic side. I've come across his Twitter output in the last month. He has been tracking and comparing statistics about early turnout for tomorrow's election, trying to sell a scenario of a closer finish than conventional wisdom and red wave touters (and 538) have forecast. We'll see. A recurring buzzword that made me think/be skeptical came through allusions to "intensity" of voting intention. Somehow enough intensity was missed in surveys of Kansas public opinion that the abortion vote came as a surprise. There was unexpected turnout. One of his other points was about the windows of opportunity to Get Out the Vote. He argues that the GOP this year has discouraged early voting, meaning that Democrats have had longer to flush out potential voters and punch their tickets. Bear in mind that Hope as offered by Rosenberg is as orthodox as his attachment to his party. His latest and last prediction has done the rounds, but not made much of a mark. As a person whose predictions can be quite wrong (as in 2016), I will wait till tomorrow afternoon ... On This 2022 Election Eve Would Rather Be Us Than Them WWW.NDN.ORG Dems are crushing it in the early vote, the red wave has yet to materialize, and polls... "Crushing it"! Here's a roughly-selected Twitter list of predictors:

  9. "Massive Pandemic Data Fraud Exposed: 40% of ‘Covid Deaths’ Were Fabricated" ? TG, I don’t have time for reading the article now. The item posted above did not offer a link to the Finnish media story. Here's the item from Finnish media that I presume was the source, as its quotations line up ... Finland's Covid death toll could be exaggerated by 40%, THL says | News | Yle Uutiset YLE.FI Very few patients under 60 have died solely from the virus since last spring, a top specialist at the health agency says. Last week's article is not revelatory, but perhaps worth reading for context ... from the first paragraphs
  10. Russia seems to have "suspended" Telegram from its digital space, although the reports I have read say Telegram is not "blocked." There are some horrors coming out from the front lines and at first glance this seems like closing off discussion or reporting or speculation or whatever. 

     

     

    Russian Telegram is big if not vast and its varied stars often present as well-informed ... a proximate cause of the suspension is what they share of some woefully-prepared "meat-grinder" conscripts at the southern (Kherson) line of hostilities. 

    Let a hundred flowers bloom.

      As usual Disclose.tv botched the details.

  11. Three hours at the Valdai Discussion Club.

    I've seen a couple of gripes that the SkyNews simultaneous interpretation was not ideal. You can also read a summary of the Putin Tootin' from Konstantin Kisin, at his Substack.

     

  12. The leading causes of death in the United States and Canada are in similar proportions. The death rate by total population is also similar -- in recent decades roughly one in a thousand people died in any given year. Starting in 2020, that proportion changed, and a new cause of death was listed in the top three. Statistics from the CDC that rank heart disease, cancer and COVID-19 deaths in 2020 can give additional, useful context for judging an event common, rare, expected or unexpected/mysterious. Noting how often heart disease manifests in death statistics, and how often a sudden cardiac event may occur "in the background" statistics might also illustrate the fallacy of post hoc, ergo propter hoc, with which we are familiar at OL. Products - Data Briefs - Number 427 - December 2021 WWW.CDC.GOV If I dropped dead of a sudden cardiac event next month, and it was announced here by my survivor with power-of-attorney, in the after-life I will be saying "that was surprising but not shocking. Not entirely unexpected," and who would there be to argue with? Only me, who celebrates some extra time on Earth due to a coronary artery stent and heart-healthy lifestyle changes. Yes, my most recent blood-test revealed three normal ranges where earlier tests revealed those awful Red Exclamation Marks. On the other hand, since the pandemic hit BC, I avoided infection ... and later I accepted a total of four COVID-19 vaccinations -- initially the back-to-back Modernas AstraZeneca, next one the booster from Pfizer and last month the bi-valent booster Cominarty. Tomorrow I will be jabbed with this year's flu vaccine. I'm a leaner, healthier, fitter 64-year old than I was at 62. If I catch a case of COVID-19, I expect a mild-to-awful achey cold-like experience, judging from the cases I am familiar with from within our circle. My favourite part of COVID-19 discussions is when somebody says "Bring out your dead." Stew Peters has a new film offering out soon. It's all about "Died Suddenly."

  13. Anonymity has its uses, especially on social media and within the "Anon community"**. On the other hand, identification of sources takes some protracted effort in open source intelligence. It is not known (by me) how much money luciferians paid for this 'work.' The guy smirking through a scenario of drowning children got his ties with the channel cut. Newsweek has a story that borrowed directly from Russian Media Monitor without credit, speaking of sourcing ... Russian State TV Finally Finds Someone Has Gone Too Far Twitter has the built-in translation facility for the next tweet. Here's the boss of RT who cut Krasovsky, Margarita Simonyan. You might remember her face from the skeptical interview she did with the Skripal poisoners. ** Clipped portion from a Travis View segment of Episode #206 of QAnon Anonymous podcast.

  14. The sentiment and the message are current and topical, if a bit blurry at the definitional edges. A crowd finding one voice and singing an anthem is usually not news. The "interruption" of the unique Trump performance has been noted and the life-force-sucking small-l luciferians are all over it. I refused to be moved during an Orpheum appearance of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, so don't mind me.

    ... there's almost always a purported fact-check on the bombshell indie productions like "Watch the Water."

    Quote

    [...] The video is an interview between far-right radio host Stew Peters, who has a history of using inflammatory rhetoric and spreading COVID-19 conspiracy theories, and Bryan Ardis, a former chiropractor who built a brand around claiming that the drug remdesivir is killing people. 

    It showed Ardis, who sells acne products and is now using the film to sell what he calls "anti-v" supplement kits online, invoking the Garden of Eden story and a fictional TV show plot as he outlined an elaborate mass-murder scheme that he claimed involves even the pope.

    "I think the plan all along was to get the serpent's, the evil one's DNA into your God-created DNA," Ardis said. "They're using mRNA, which is mRNA extracted from, I believe, the king cobra venom, the king cobra venom. And I think they want to get that venom inside of you and make you a hybrid of Satan."

    The video’s theory is "miles from reality, and indicates a profound lack of understanding in science and medicine, and much twisted logic," said Dr. David Relman, professor of microbiology and immunology at Stanford University. "There is no evidence whatsoever that SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19 is caused by snakes or snake venom."

      Open up your mind!  Consider the difference between pre-mortem and post-mortem. Get acquainted with what a "base-rate fallacy" may be ... 

      Or, close your mind to any possible explanation in solution space that does not conform to your priors.  

       

  16. The most detailed story I could find which transcribed Putin's press conference in Astana ... 

    [Google Translate: ]

    No, he's not a hawk, he's different.

    Vladimir Putin at a press conference showed himself to be more of a dove

    On October 14, Russian President Vladimir Putin gave a press conference in Astana, at which he said that the mobilization would end in two weeks and that he had no regrets. Kommersant's special correspondent Andrei Kolesnikov said that this time the Russian president reported much more news than at the same press conference in Samarkand, and besides, he looked different than then.

  17. Hail Mary, full of grace ... The DOJ's expected appeal dropped on the suffering justices of the 11th circuit. Leftoid Zombie summaries more or less say "DOJ says throw the whole thing out." Your reading may vary. https://assets.bwbx.io/documents/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/rw6h7JXpLdKs/v0
  18. Donald Trump released a fourteen page letter to the committee of benghazi chairman Benny Thompson. I wonder how long it took to dictate and edit.

  19. Pretty cold note from the Supreme Court. I wonder if Trump will react as he did the last time he got stiffed, when the Supreme Court was not quite as curt with him, given that Thomas would have voted the other way.
  20. Remarkable monologue from yesterday. Vladimir Solovyov names the names and asks "where are the results?"

  23. 296 pages of harping. My 'substance' take is delayed, but my initial impression is that the proximate goal is to vacate the partial stay granted by the 11th Circuit against Cannon's process. Although the initial yelps of horror and pain from "Leftoids" is expected, a few less-deranged reactors note a kind of "Let's call the whole thing off" theme running through ... "L'état, c'est moi!"
