  1. Does anyone have a home recording? Not an internet creation? Therein lies the lie-internet fluffery. Its not as if Im denying he has assistance. Its the proffered video and photo are rigged. And I showed the un-rigged and explained how it differed. See for yourself. Signed, Ripley. Thery're both doddering septuagenarians.
  2. Responding to the video of the "thingy" Michael posted upstream. It isn't the same as a shadow. Play the video. If you can't see the switcheroo then you're a conspiracy nut. Its there, its not there. Wheres the there/there? My photo of the scene of the "crime" shows a shadow that doesnt mysteriously appear but appears immediately as the hand moves and the shadow created by a shirt wrinkle moves with other corresponding wrinkles. The shadow starts at the collar. The said "thingy" starts somewhere down below the collar and looks like a cord. F it all. Discovered again. You guys are going to have to do better than this.
  3. Michael, Nothing burger. I played the debate back and observed the left hand cuff area several times. Its a watch. Not the Dick Tracy model either, I sleuth you not. I snapped the photo from a recording of the debate on Fox. I looked at several time spots near the purported 57 min mark. If the "thingy" was not attached well accounting for the disappearance in several spots how does it appear with his hand raised? Gravity or gravitas
  4. Notes from the road. From the beginning I've felt a strong want to get the virus, it being my favorite way to "vaccinate". And to find out first hand what all the fuss is about. Almost in spite of myself and because of my overriding want to travel and remain mask less I wish there were an official "stamp" showing a person to have been already infected. Ah, the life of Riley! In the last week I've traveled between Northern Virginia, Raleigh NC and Roanoke Va. The herd mentality is in full affect as I stride among them mask less. No one has bothered me in a while other than a manager who asked if I had a medical reason for not wearing one. I said yes and Im down here to see my Dr. Eh, 1/2 of it was true the other I left him to deal with. I'm not unwilling to wear one as I went through a stem cell procedure that wasn't available to me without its use. Mostly I simply take a mask offered or walk through confrontations that result in no enforcement of anything. I dont have the nicest visage when in anticipation of confrontation plus maybe being 6'4 has its advantages. I'm learning the cues of fearful folks and seeing acquiescence, primping of young girls needing to make fashion statements and fidgeting beyond necessity of the damn things.
  5. M, Got it. Had it. Lost it. Here's the joke. Why is there more empathy given towards those dead than the living? Dead people can't vote. Never was. Ha ha lol Maybe Seinfeld can work with it. Its raw but I'm glad you liked it. It would be an understatement to say I'm a straight line thinker (the dead can't vote) but I will say I've learned a lot reading what you write. Its nuanced stuff. I'm better for it. My wife laughs at many of my "jokes". You could say that doesn't mean I'm funny. But she didn't laugh at yours. Now that is hilarious!
  6. I watched Jason Whitlock on Fox's Speak for Yourself, from time to time. The format is like many other sport commentary shows. But what he does do is he brokers no bs. I see his show was discontinued in July. And like many before him he is sounding off but unlike Jamele Hill he's making sense and calling out Lebron James as a liar for saying black people are afraid of losing their lives. And its bull shit on steroids. Its another Big Lie when simple truth cuts it down to its essence. Racism, Cracism. 10-14 blacks died at the hands of police. 28 whites. 8,000 blacks died at the hands of other blacks. Watcha gone do wit dat? This is the price you pay Cancel Culture extracts when exposing the truth. https://thesource.com/2020/05/07/black-twitter-drags-fox-sports-host-jason-whitlock-for-lebron-social-justice-criticism/
  7. Ok, ok. My comment was connected by straight line logic. To put it another way. Governments shut down to avoid people dying of a virus as people die from other causes such as missing treatments, undiagnosed medical conditions, suicide from depression, losing jobs, economic downturns etc etc. I dont really understand your comment re "dead people cant vote". And I take it Brant doesn't either. Why? Because they can and do. Ill chaulk it up to Michaels attempt at humor. https://tinyurl.com/rt68x35 I trust Judical Watch and it rings true. In the latest round of warning letters, Judicial Watch explains that implausibly high registration rates raise legal concerns: An unusually high registration rate suggests that a jurisdiction is not removing voters who have died or who have moved elsewhere, as required by [federal law].
  8. Thursday in Kenosha. Please tell me this is the future of some of AI's capability and that its a spoof. I followed his mouth and dialogue and his gestures but of course I can be fooled. It what I hate most about masks after their worthlessness.
  9. Britt is a bit long in the tooth but up there with the likes of Eric Sevareid and Edwin Newman. He still has the Jack Anderson gravitas. But Luskin likes to sell for more than Ive ever seen a Kindle book in a long while. My gut informed me long ago that if it smells like BS it probably is. Im fond of using my age in this one instance for explaining that Ive never seen anything like it so how could it be a virus is so bad. I have heard a poster child Dr on Tuckers show explain even in 1918 most people who died at the time died of pneumonia not from the pandemic virus. Again maybe they succumed by way of a compromised immune system. So many lies and distortions even prior to '16-'20.
  10. Kirk Cousins made a comment that countered the MSM spiel. I saw him attacked on Get Up with comments such as he ought to keep his machismo in check and express more empathy. Its tiring listening to people try so hard to maintain the status quo. What part of the news do they read? Sports, of course. They apparently didn't see CDC published findings on 94% of those who die from SARS-CoV-2 have co-morbidities and are also in later stages of life. How is it that empathy is allowed for dead people but not for those selfish about their economic interests?
  11. Safari is its native browser but it could be any.
  12. https://www.nytimes.com/reuters/2020/07/06/us/06reuters-health-coronavirus-ppp-ayn-rand.html board member Harry Binswanger and senior fellow Onkar Ghate wrote that the organization would take any relief money offered from the CARES Act. "We will take it unapologetically, because the principle here is: justice," they wrote, adding that "the government has no wealth of its own…. It can only redistribute the wealth of others." Feeding at the public trough unbecoming. I know a wealth manager in Kansas who made plans after considering worse case scenarios and put away enough money to pay 100 people for as long as it takes. No one will lose a job due to his vision. No feeding from the public trough. https://www.riaintel.com/article/b1l6990yhw9y5m/creative-plannings-three-year-cash-reserve-pledge-and-why-other-rias-wont-promise-the-same
  13. The Republicans are the god damnedest feckless betrayers of our country since instead of choosing the high road where many voters wait they chose to neglect instead of champion a non governmental free market healthcare option and chose the status quo and only taking out the Shared Responsibility Payment in '19 (?)while they had the chance in 2014 when they had control of the House and Senate. You've only to ask yourself to reason why they don't fight against the mob. When no other explanation can be found the simplest one will do. Its their sanction given to Democrats that allow Dems to do what they do, what they please by taking this country to ruin. Tucker does a good job of sounding the clarion call but what good is advice to not vote if politicians don't support your views? They'll do anything they want while in office. What good is it if a pol is seen as supporting an issue you're for and then caves? The vote was already cast. This has been the issue all along and why the only power of the constituency lies in term limits, something they won't themselves vote on.
  14. Ok, ok. You know what they say? If you have to explain? That goes for me trying to explain why it isn't funny too. Your material IS the funniest of the bunch! lol
  15. That's a Bio Safety Level 4 space suit, pressurized. Not for SARS-CoV-2 butEbola, Marburg and Lassa fever etc. Hes in an echo chamber with many others who haven't quite found the right memes for millennials. I mean if millennials are listening (they're not). Take another point away for grammar. Forgot the s.
  16. My wife and I drove 4.5 hrs to her dentist. They did a temp scan and she registered a close call at 99.5, coming from an a/c truck. 100 was the cut off. Her dentist's was 101.2 and after sitting awhile he was 97.8. FLIR cameras detect temp differences of .xx. 99.99 makes the cut off. Hurricane fans aimed at groupings prior and up to the test points might help. Definitely achievable.
  17. What was done to Floyd wasn't a choke hold, not really, although the technique accomplished what a choke does by rendering incapacity. BBJ's version is the rear naked choke. It can cause a Valsalva maneuver which is like trying to breath out just not through the nose or mouth. You'd recognize it when sitting on the toilet. Its purpose is to render the opponent unconscious not dead. But there's no real difference between death by suffocation and blood starvation other than manner of death as reported by forensics. Drowning is different than choking but after about 5 minutes of no breath or breathing in water or no blood being pumped you're dead as dead. Most will lose consciousness in 7-10 seconds when rnc is applied properly. It would be difficult to apply a rear naked choke for over 5 minutes. The choke hold ban takes away a useful tool, imo. If holds were limited to say 15 seconds those take the stuffing out of anyone. If holds are applied improperly many things can go wrong. It wasn't the choke hold that killed Floyd. It was murderous intent. Rogan proved it. ha Anyway half the numb skulls Ive heard talking about this seem to think the scene was played out by crisis actors. Gawd. Don't ya just love a conspiracy?
  18. Give me a good anesthesiologist. No ribbing.
  19. Just how better a branding agent was Famous Amos than AJ. Nancy Green, who Rush effusively praised as if it mattered. She was an actress, formerly a slave yada yada. In other words she tried out for a part and became an emissary for the product. Who cares? I like Log Cabin and will not be guilt tripped over a building that can be torn down despite my efforts. If only the building could be found it would be a thing. But clearly an update after 130 yrs is in order. BFFL's Aunt Jemima. Sometimes 130 yrs does change the landscape. Syrups changed. And all's good with the heavy stacks. Move on, nothin to see. As if it mattered. Ive come to think of sugar in any form in small doses as good only for nap time.
  20. "n order to ferret out any underlying philosophical causes of these systemic problems at TOC, I also re-read... Truth and Toleration, for the first time in 10 years. .... strong disagreement with critical elements of the arguments on almost every issue: moral judgment, tolerance, sanction, and Objectivism as an open system. None of my disagreements are minor. All seem to bear upon... disturbing trajectory over the years. But I regard the last, that Objectivism is an "open system," as the most widely misunderstood, deeply flawed, and practically dangerous of the lot -- and as the basic source of my own unhappiness....." 2004 10 Years after and 10 yrs since. Boy, what a decade flying Solo makes. Just a cursory reading makes note of how far the once mighty public intellectuals have fallen.
  21. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-tweets-conspiracy-theory-buffalo-protester-police-officers/story?id=71150154 OANN did a piece, as far as I know, taking apart the innocence of the 75 yr old demonstrator in Buffalo. Leaving aside the feint push. He was filmed talking with the photographer who later filmed his fall. He was waving his phone near the holstered gun of the leo. He tweeted F the police. He was on an anarchist website. His name is Martin Gugina. Heres a piece echoing OANN news. https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2020/06/06/buffalo-officials-duped-by-professional-antifa-provocateur-arrest- In other news......OANN filed a defamation suit against R Madcow. An Obama appointed judge found her comment saying OANN is a communist network news, to be a personal opinion, she's not a journalist an entertainer.
  22. Bruce Lee: "The medicine for my suffering I had within me from the very beginning, but I did not take it. My ailment came from within myself, but I did not observe it until this moment. Now I see that I will never find the light unless, like the candle, I am my own fuel." Shannon Lee, Bruce Lee's daughter. After her brothers death from a prop gun she found comfort in her fathers words. "How might you find the medicine for your own suffering?" The ailment came from within myself but I didn't observe it until this moment. That I have suddenly put my fate in my own hands and if you are willing to take up the mantle of healing yourself being your own fuel, being your own light, then you can shift your perspective and you forge your own path." "For the first time in my life, it occurred to me that everything was in my own hands. Through my father's words, I was able to come to terms with the fact that I was waiting for something to rescue me from this situation (shades of Nathaniel Branden) of grief and depression. But life doesn't offer up some magic cure. So I asked myself, "How can you change how you feel? How can something from the outside change this loss and this grief?" I was the only person who could make friends with that, who could go deeply into that notion and explore it and come out on the other side. My father's words helped me truly ask myself, "How might you find the medicine for your own suffering?".
  23. American Chinese Playwright Frank Chin, on racism. 1960's ish. "I live here. My Grandmother lived here. She died here. So I belong. I hate this place. If I were an outsider Id just burn it down and leave. But because this is my home ridiculously, absurdly, cruelly my home, I don't want to burn it down. I'm fifth generation and the 6th generation is growing up now. I don't want to see another generation just completely mind wrecked. I don't want them to grow up with the "Either/Or" thing so they feel that they're foreign born."
