I suspect if the murder rate for activist journalists and intellectual Marxists started going up significantly they'd start to care.

Heavy rain and wind with temperatures in the 40's has been a mood killer in previous years too.

The irony here is that some posters claim other posters are members of some alt-right "cult" following that provides them with all their insights and ideas yet they have no self-awareness as it is they themselves that post the views of others and have no original ideas or thoughts of their own to share. Truth..

Agree. Bluntly the people running the operation are politically motivated liars that invoke "the science" when it suits their objective and ignore it when it doesn't. The only people not figuring this out by now are the 12 guys still watching CNN all day long. A few examples: The CDC advisory committee votes 18-2 on the scope of the booster shot and the CDC director overrules them and expands the scope. What does she know that they don't after a debate among 20 knowledgeable individual scientists and doctors performing what I expect was a detailed due diligence through a predictable and functional process they've used before? Nothing that's what she knows. Political BS Fauci gets asked questions about natural immunity and the vaccine mandate. He says its a good question that he hasn't really thought about. Big fat liar. Of course he's thought about it but the answer conflicts with his vaccine mandate push and scope so he chooses to ignore it. More political BS. Biden says the un-vaccinated are a threat to the vaccinated. The mantra is vaccines are safe and effective so how is that possible? So why are un-vaccinated people a threat if they work so well? I'm still waiting for that answer. The answer is they aren't as effective as they claim. More political BS. I suspect over time research will show the real truth is the vaccinated are a bigger threat to the un-vaccinated than the other way around.

If you believe that you should enter concussion protocol. This is by far the worst administration in the history of the country. There's not one thing they haven't FUBAR'd.

I'm not going to argue the perceived or actual benefits of the vaccines. I'm familiar with the clinical trial process and commercial pharma business and as it happens a couple of the vaccine manufacturers are contracted clients of my organization. Other parts of the organization generate daily stats and forecasts on COVID. So I know the data pretty well and much of what the CDC distributes is provided by us too. So I'm not arguing numbers or probabilities but i also have additional insights I'm hesitant to discuss for several reasons. And while the vaccines don't prevent you from getting sick, they don't prevent transmission, and the don't prevent the virus from replicating I'm not blaming the vaccines or their sponsors for that either. Its more about the complex nature of treatment, the coronavirus and the respiratory system. I should add one of the members of our team is a vaccine and immune system "expert" with 25 years experience in the field. I wish I could share her explanation of COVID and the immune system. Frankly it was the best explanation I've ever heard on the topic. Much better and detailed than anything out of the CDC, FDA, NIH, or anywhere else. And I didn't say all kids should be not be be vaccinated. I said the decision should be based on the specific circumstances and the individual child's personal health profile and condition. And a one-size-fits all approach is not the most effective approach. My objection to mandates boils down to one simple question. A question of accountability. If somebody dies or develops some life-threatening condition because of government or corporate vaccine mandates that apply force and coercion to obtain compliance to their authority are they going to be held accountable personally, professionally, financially, legally, or in any other way for adverse consequences? Because from where I sit if somebody is forcing me to do something they should also be accountable for the outcome. My guess is that's not how it works here.

I expect details of the language in the bill will provide members of the executive and legislative branches and wealthy large political donors an exemption from the account snooping..

OK. But I still think the one-size-fits all shot policy ignores the fact that "risk" is not evenly distributed in the under 18 population or for that matter in the population as a whole? So if the policy claims to be based on some sort of risk assessment it fails to account for a lot of specifics. Common fact is risk of death is heavily skewed towards anyone with specific co-morbidites and pre-existing conditions. My nephew for example, got COVID in the Spring of 2020, and had a tough go with it. But he has asthma. He's a prime candidate for additional protection from the vaccine at this time. But other kids without that or any other high risk condition are not. So the benefit of the vaccine and the mandate is of little to no good to them. And the risk from the vaccines some known and unknown both short and long are partially but not completely quantifiable. So if some kid has immeasurably close to zero chance of getting moderately, severely, or critically sick, and even less chance of hospitalization, and even less chance of death what's the benefit? Let's not ignore the fact the testing cycle here was extremely short and whether anybody wants to admit it or not its likely a lot of steps in the process got cut short or cut out completely. If the people in charge don't think the risk of longer term health problems from the vaccine are possible then why insist on liability waivers? Because you can site all the statistics you want until you're blue in the face but you still can't guarantee anything so don't insist on making decisions that risk other people's lives that are totally risk-free for you personally.

What I don't understand about these injuries that get revealed 2 or 3 weeks after the fact is how that applies to the reporting requirements for and violations of the weekly injury report. Aren't teams obligated by the rules to report all injuries? And shouldn't the Browns have reported that partially torn Librium on the injury report prior to the week 3 games?

Your entire argument for DC statehood, pursuit of democracy, is misleading. The objective is to produce two additional Democratic party affiliated Senators to provide a voting advantage in the upper house of Congress. Providing residents of the district with representation is of little concern and just a byproduct of the primary objective. If there was potential for the district's representatives to be affiliated with another political party you'd be raging against the idea. it makes no sense for advocates of the idea to be dishonest about the objective when everyone in the room knows what it is. To pad the Senate with politically allied Senators.

Your position here is based on a political fallacy. That fallacy being that Republicans solidly support the wealthy and Democrats oppose the wealthy in support of the middle and working class "little people". But if you look at a list of the largest political donors the list is split pretty evenly between the two parties. So the truth is both parties are beholden to the wealthy millionaire and billionaire campaign and party donor class. And neither is likely to present and enact any tax proposals that do meaningful harm to their largest donors. No biting the hand that feeds you is allowed in the world of big campaign donors. This perceived difference in the party candidates is one of the illusions created by the 1% and the political class. it provides the voters a false option that there is some fundamental difference between candidates. Rarely is this true. The other truth is they continue to fool most voters of both parties the fight between each other 100% of the time on a 5% difference between the core interests the major political parties. https://www.opensecrets.org/elections-overview/biggest-donors?cycle=2020&view=fc

So where do you draw the line on arbitrary withholding of care, medical ethics, acts of malpractice, and coercing patients into specific treatment options? It seems like a mean-spirited approach that says "if I hurt you enough I can get you to do anything I want you to do." And isn't that the basic weapon in the toolbox of mandate advocates? Sounds consistent to torture tactics to me.

But its perfectly okay for you to do the flip-flop pointing out the fiscal excesses of the previous administration but now be wildly in support of trillions in wasteful spending because the other party is currently in charge now? If so perhaps you refuse to see it but you are guilty of the same ideological inconsistencies as the people you soundly criticize. Or am I reading you wrong and you're against all these trillions in new spending and fiscal excesses regardless of which party is in control? If you do indeed oppose both I apologize.

Maybe if they spent less time thinking up ways to "game" the political system and more time in actual governance our country would be in better shape? Other than the Bills 3-1 start, everywhere you look is a raging dumpster fire..

The District of Columbia is a district. By definition it is not a State. It is the seat of the Federal government. While it has a local government structure it was established in this form consistent with the concept and understanding of the need for political considerations. It was set up as such for that specific reason and to provide certain limitations and powers. These reasons still exist. Everyone that lives in the district or moves there knows this. To the best of my knowledge being a resident of the District of Columbia is completely voluntary. If anyone feels so strongly about needing Congressional representation they can move to Virginia or Maryland or one of the other 48 State jurisdictions of the Republic and vote for the Senate or House candidate of their choice.

Until Dr. Fauci is no longer useful to the administration I expect he will stay put. This relationship seems similar to the consultancy model companies use when they go through periodic reorganization and force reduction activities. Management needs to make changes so they contract out to "experts" to assess and provide recommendations. "Sorry we had to eliminate your job or your organization but credentialed experts studied the situation and we need to act on their expert recommendations". Fauci provides similar cover as a credentialed medical expect. Sorry we had to lock you in your basement for 6 months but the experts told us that would be best and we need to follow the science. Plausible deniability. So they can say I'm not imposing draconian lock downs on you, its the science, as defined by experts. In truth what they are following is the subjective opinions of specific experts, while ignoring other experts and non-confirming facts that might differ, and not really science or medical facts.

I think it boils down to most people making a rational risk assessment of the situation and concluding the lock downs, restrictions, and political edicts are a bigger threat and risk to their social and economic well-being and safety than the virus.

I assume you are aware of this but the PCR test can also be inaccurate for identifying an active and transmittable case of COVID virus either. The result depends on the sample amplification rate or "cycle threshold" that is used in the test. A higher amplification level can produce more false positives. So when getting data on the number of positive PCR tests and new cases knowing the amplification level is necessary to interpret the data correctly but I understand most States don't require that information.

Perhaps the problem is simply a complete lack of self-awareness? Or is the administration discreetly being run behind the scenes by the previously employed GM's of the Houston Texans and the Buffalo Sabres?

The Deep State Establishment and the perpetual bureaucracy would insist you were a Russian asset, turn law enforcement and intelligence assets inside the government against you, plant false stories in the media which their agents in the press would run with 24/7, and hold hearings to uncover your misdeeds and the threat you posed to America.

Please refer to step 12: Make sure to include lots of FBI and other Federal law enforcement agents and assets in your group for diversity. Allowing them to set you up for fake crimes can help their careers so be considerate of their needs. This is an issue I'm certain this fabulous committee comprised of various super-heroes and guardians of democracy will totally avoid. The FBI has informers, assets, and agents within all of this patriot organizations. Some in the leadership hierarchy of the various organizations. So if there was any "planning this thing well in advance" they would have known about it. And if law enforcement knew about plans to disrupt the certification of the election then they would have acted to prevent it from happening. And if they knew about it and didn't act to prevent it then they failed to execute their duties as law enforcement and let it happen. So that raises a lot of interesting questions. Like why would they want to let it happen? However, the FBI has already concluded and communicated their findings that no such plans to disrupt the certification existed. So that planning and conspiracy angle is DOA. The other thing is this 1/6 investigation has lost a lot of its political momentum. It was front page material months ago but now its just a footnote. And it just doesn't seem to be a high priority right now within the administration given all the other priorities and fires they are trying to put out. My guess is we're pretty close to the who really cares about this anymore point. A fundamental problem is this administration began to fail on the 1st day. Things are breaking down everywhere. Energy, stock, and debt markets, housing, food, all kinds of social and economic problems getting more serious all at once and coming faster and faster. Its just a matter of when and not if we reach the tipping point and everything comes crashing down. And it is well past the point to blame your lover-boy Trump for any of it. But here's a funny thought to consider in a few months when assessing the damage as the mindset on the left moves from activism to survival. I've said it before and I'll say it hear they did Trump a favor by rigging the election. They hoisted up Biden and Harris to take the fall for a host of social and economic damage to come. This is like taking over the captaincy of the Titanic after it hit the iceberg. In the end it might turn out the "evil one" outsmarted all the geniuses. A smarter strategy might have been to let Trump take the big fall and be rid of him once and for all. But now it appears he lives to fight another day. That's got to really piss you off. Me, I think its comical.

As I suggested in another thread maybe Sinema should say enough of this BS and threaten to switch parties and total "F" over the communist parties agenda if they don't call off the dogs. That would be game over for Joey until at least January 2023. How entertaining would it be to see all the lib's scream and cry about that!

I'm good with that but I have to say I like my chances based on what the Committee has come up with to this point..

Perhaps PLA General Li Zuocheng will reciprocate and undermine President Xi by making a call to his good friend U.S. Army General and Chief of Staff Mark Milley and warn him in advance of any impending Chinese attack on Taiwan? But I'm thinking that's unlikely.

13 12 steps on how to carry out a successful insurrection. Make sure you have no plan. Planning is a lot of work and that should be avoided. Leave all weapons and explosives at home. Weapons are heavy and can slow you down. Use public entrances so its easy to spot who comes in and who leaves. Being as obvious and as visible as possible is important. Make sure your positions inside the building are completely un-defendable if any police or guards show up. Finding a room with only one visible means of escape that is blocked by security forces is the best option. When entering the building make sure almost all your people wander around aimlessly taking selfies and talking on their phones. Looking organized may raise suspicions that you know what you are doing. That might eliminate the element of surprise. Avoid any organized activities. Randomly move around the inside of the building and when bored leave. This will throw off all the guards. Try to stay inside the guide ropes so as to not cause any issues for the tour guides. Civility is very important when rioting. If you have questions politely raise your hand and ask only when called upon. Show them you were raised correctly. Casually and politely converse with building security and share photos of family. Remember they are people just like you. If asked to leave the building do so promptly. There's no need to stay somewhere that you're not wanted. Try not to leave a mess and clean up any trash or disposable materials you might be carrying. Don't litter. Make sure to include lots of FBI and other Federal law enforcement agents and assets in your group for diversity. Allowing them to set you up for fake crimes can help their careers so be considerate of their needs. Be prepared to spend a lot of time in jail on minor misdemeanor charges juiced up by an evil and malevolent administration that will attempt to score political points by exaggerating the scope and impact of the event.
