“Even Homer nods� is what my old high-school English teacher used to say, with a smile. But okay, good comment. I think the moral of the story is that when you are a deplorable, your publisher is not going to be a mainstream one, with a zillion editors roaming around cementing every brick and cornice into place.

I think the commercial is effective. The presentable, respectful suit and tie making its point, while at the same time being charmingly offset by the goofy hat. Brief and to the point; a reminder that this potential gift exists; descriptive details are not needed – – just the reminder.

Good marketing …

In related news a Los Angeles Times columnist you never heard of resigns on principle and oh BTW he just happened to launch a substack …

Why I Just Resigned From The Los Angeles Times
By Harry Litman

I have been a contributor to the Los Angeles Times op-ed page in some fashion for more than 15 years. For the last three years, I have been the Senior Legal Columnist, writing regular weekly columns about Trump’s legal troubles, the Supreme Court, and a wide range of other topics. The Times also permitted me to cover Trump’s trial in New York and the 2024 Democratic convention.

*

But I have written my last op-ed for the Times. Yesterday, I resigned my position. I don’t want to continue to work for a paper that is appeasing Trump and facilitating his assault on democratic rule for craven reasons.

*

First, the idea of balance is fundamentally misplaced when on one side of the balance is a sociopathic liar like Donald Trump. The media has struggled for years to figure out how to call out Trump’s incessant lies while still covering the contentious issues of the day. There’s good reason to think that the propagation of those lies, some of which Trump simply picks up from fringe social media sites and Fox News, influenced the results of the election. The people who voted for Trump were fed a relentless false account of issue after issue, including Trump’s signature distortions about immigrants (eating pets, committing a disproportionate number of violent crimes), which Fox News and right-wing social media parroted relentlessly.

*

I’m not going anywhere. I will continue to do my best to identify and analyze the dangers that might be hard to see, but for now, here on Substack. I may surface elsewhere, too. Stay tuned! I hope you will follow me here and think about becoming a subscriber.

Assuming it is and that this will lead to the killer’s arrest and conviction, I wonder how much he studied beforehand the New York state’s Department of Corrections and Community Supervision policy on conjugal visits:

Steve, I’m not sure how much accurate research can be conducted, because aside from officially scheduled consensual conjugal visits, there may also be off-the-books unscheduled non-consensual conjugal visits of which the stats are unreliable, if any exist. Maybe commenter Jonathan Masonry (former prison worker) has more info.

Lol.

The Atlantic is arguing Charlie Kirk is leading his supporters into antisemitism.

Excerpt from The Anti-Semitic Revolution on the American Right
How Jews became collateral damage in a Republican power struggle
By Yair Rosenberg

With little fanfare, the tide had turned in favor of those advancing anti-Semitic arguments. In 2019, Fuentes and his faction were disrupting Republican politicians like Crenshaw. By 2022, Fuentes was shaking hands onstage with Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene and dining with Trump at Mar-a-Lago. In 2019, the Groyper activists were picketing events held by Turning Point USA, the conservative youth organization founded by the activist Charlie Kirk. By 2024, Turning Point was employing—and periodically firing and denouncing—anti-Semitic influencers who appeared at conventions run by Fuentes. “The Zionist Jews controlling our planet are all pedophiles who have no regard for the sanctity of human life and purity,� one of the organization’s ambassadors posted before she was dismissed.

In 2020, Carlson’s lead writer, Blake Neff, was compelled to resign after he was exposed as a regular contributor to a racist internet forum. Today, he produces Kirk’s podcast and recently reported alongside him at the Republican National Convention. “Why does Turning Point USA keep pushing anti-Semitism?� asked Erick Erickson, the longtime conservative radio host and activist, last October. The answer: Because that’s what a growing portion of the audience wants.

The purpose of the commercial is to spread the Tucker quote I presume. Helluva quote. Good vehicle for spreading it or facilitating others to spread it. Kudos to the person who conceived it. You deserve your success.

O/T

I have to say that I’m a bit surprised that social media is so unrepentantly gleeful at the death of Brian Thompson, the CEO of United Healthcare who was gunned down in cold blood yesterday morning. When they have been called out on it by a few of his defenders, they will then double down!

Because a lot of people hate the health insurance companies.

Of course it may turn out that his estranged wife put a hit on him, or that this had something to do with his alleged criminal behavior in alleged insider trading.

Or he could have been indebted to his drug dealer.

Or it could just be a common or garden lunatic.

I am sure that there are scores of people investigating this case who have a lot more information about the relative probabilities of certain theories than anyone who posts on social media or here.

A man who was suspected to be the gunman had spoken to the staff at a hostel where he had stayed, but there is nothing in the public domain about what kind of accent he had or if he sounded like a furriner.

The alleged words written on the bullets? Could be a clue or could be a deliberate diversion? Is the fact that one of the words of the known expression was changed from delay to depose somehow relevant?

Very likely the suspect will be in police custody within a week and more will be known.

Hopefully the detectives will be reading Noticing for some clues.

Nobody wrote any words on the bullets. They were written on the shell casings, the “brass”, ejected out the side – I’d figure in magic marker. He knew someone would find them.

Does this act not rule out your 1st 3 suspects. It was political.

More importantly, you know NOTHING about the story of the J6 Political Prisoners. You must spend all day in front of CNN-Ecuador to be so much on the side of the Tyrants.

Re the suspect shooter of the United HealthCare CEO, it’s striking how the huge political spectrum on 4chan /pol/, from far-left commies to far-right fashos, are almost of common mind in focusing on how brutal the CEO has been to many families, how many people maybe died because of him … apparently his company was the worst of all in US health insurer claim denials … the memes there are flying

Meanwhile in Romania (I decided to share):

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/romanian-court-annuls-vote-declares-presidential-election-do-over-after-far-right-pro

The Romanians voted in large numbers for a candidate who repudiates the American/Zionist/Nato/Neocon plans for their role in a proxy war against Russia.

This was a “right” vote, which is labeled by our media as “far” right. This is exactly the same thing they say about Viktor Orban of Hungary. Legitimately elected, democratically, by the citizens of his country.

So, the Romanian court has declared the totally legitimate, proper, accurate election invalid. There now must be a do-over, a couple of days before the next round of the legitimate election was scheduled to happen.

It’s like a referee saying, “You won the game, but now you must play the game again — and again — until you lose!”

Romanians are furious, and many of them know exactly what is going on.

We have been in communication with some of them.

We have a real estate transaction that was scheduled for Monday. We have just been informed that the banks in Romania are delaying money transfers, so we will have to wait. Our buyer is ready, but the banks are delaying his money being transferred to us.

This is all the result of what is happening right now, and it is the fault of “my” government, and ziocons and their plans and their grip on the world. It is plain and obvious.

If you don’t know that this whole mess was created by “our” side, then you are either an idiot or a shill.

Someone said in a comment a while back that they view their ability to do violence against us as a divine right. Follow some Marxists/antifa for a while and it comes out.

Transatlantic accent…

Friend of mine was tossing out Obama’s diversity ATC mess as piece of evidence in a broader “clever sillies” analysis of the failure of America’s “meritocracy”.

Strikes me, restoring the old ATC hiring practices should be a day one Trump announcement. Including routing out all the controllers who’ve had issues and going back and testing everyone hired under the diversitopia scheme. It’s the kind of step that would both play well with a lot of normal and influential people–UMC and professional. And does some visible political work–both branch and root–against the whole DIE ideology.

Immigration is–stopping the insanity–is, of course, the zeroth order key to everything. But there are some great opportunities in other places to do good work that attacks the minoritarian cancer.

You’ve lost me with your suggestion. As I understand it the mess with ATC started with Bush the Younger whose people tried to replace the old testing and trial by fire selection process (which had high wash out rates) with private college coursework which couldn’t and didn’t achieve the results of the old system leaving the FAA with trainees who washed out AND spent a lot of their own money in the process. The Obama Admins elaboration on this mess was that key people in the FAA helped Black candidates cheat on the test. Last I heard they were returning to the trial by fire system without putting a finger on the scale when it came to Black candidates but that they still had a shortage of competent controllers. Your comment suggests this hasn’t happened yet or that the admitted-via-cheating controllers are still directing aircraft traffic. Is this the current state of affairs as you understand it?

Someone said in a comment a while back that they view their ability to do violence against us as a divine right.

This is just the visceral–occasionally physical–expression of minoritarianism. We’re the evil “oppressors” continually “oppressing” them with our normality.

This is the obverse of the reality. In truth, American normies do need a single minority in the their rainbow hued “coalition of fringes” around. We–normal Western people–build great nations–and would have a much more pleasant nation without any of them around. But we, under the their regime, must continually bend over to accommodate them.

Again, this is why it is important to answer and unmask the minoritarian nonsense with “separation”.

“Ok, if we’re such a burden, let’s just split up.” If they are really “oppressed” by white normies … they should be happy if we simply split. But, of course, they would not be happy. Because fundamentally the relationship is parasitic. They live by feeding on the nation–the goodies–that white normies built. Minoritarianism is a parasite ideology. The parasite defaming its host.

Is this the current state of affairs as you understand it?

No. And upfront, not my baliwick, my understanding is the college program–looked it up it’s called Air Traffic College Training Initiative (AT-CTI)–was designed to produce a steady stream of candidates who could likely pass. (At which maybe it wasn’t so great.) But the students still had to pass the test and the college work only entitled them to skip the initial FAA ATC course (apparently five weeks.)

Here’s my level of knowledge on that (i.e. what I just read):
https://www.faa.gov/jobs/students/schools

This may be ill-advised but it is not the problem.

The real change that the Obama administration threw out the old, spatially g-loaded test that–more or less–screened for aptitude to do the job and replaced it with the personality/background “test” that ladled out points for “diversity”. Essentially hiring became “have HS diploma” and “are diverse”, though presumably some people are just so bad they manage to fail in training sufficiently to be weeded out.

My understanding here was more or less what Walter Williams is saying here:
https://www.dailysignal.com/2018/06/27/the-disastrous-initiative-to-hire-air-traffic-controllers-based-on-diversity-not-talent/

Again not my bailiwick. Someone with knowledge about what’s going on with ATC/the FAA can comment.

But again, my point is this is low hanging fruit. The near miss ATC incidents have piled up. Trump can easily announce that he is restoring a strong testing regime to insure that ATC candidates have the aptitude to do a good job and it is “the right thing to do” that also does useful ideological work against DIE and is great politics for him.

D.I.E. can be deadly. However, a major part of the problem with ATC is that the training programs were closed down for a long time for the Kung Flu PanicFest. It takes a lot of time to get a controller up to speed, and the whole system got way behind in staffing. It still is, Curle.

Only 1/2 year back or so, I met a guy who works at a fairly small facility. Normal staffing is 22 people among all the positions and and shifts. They’ve been at 13 – he and his wife are making killer O/T money, but people get fatigued…

The alleged words written on the bullets? Could be a clue or could be a deliberate diversion? Is the fact that one of the words of the known expression was changed from delay to depose somehow relevant?

Comments under a YouTube video:

The words written on the bullets were from a book on healthcare marketing and management for how best to be profitable that was touted in united healthcare but largely established practises that screwed over patients.

Reviewed in Canada on December 6, 2024

Love that slogan “Delay”, “Deny”, and “Defend” really hits hard, like right through your back into your heart. Absolutely fantastic content.

I’ve got two longtime friends who are retired controllers who’ve been talking my ear off since the Bush 2 Administration about the FAA’s long descent with regard to hiring and training controllers. I’ve even been in a regional center in a major traffic area during the day back when a female controller was a rarity and 99% of the controllers were White males. The story as they tell it doesn’t start with Obama as per this article
https://www.dailysignal.com/2018/06/27/the-disastrous-initiative-to-hire-air-traffic-controllers-based-on-diversity-not-talent/ nor does it start with the diversity efforts per replacing the cognitive assessment test, bad as that was, but starts with a Bush 2 appointee deciding that the Agency didn’t need to spend so much money training controllers.

Back in the day cognitive tests just got you in the door. Many passing this hurtle still failed to make it through the assessment process that sought to stress test the controllers for performance under pressure. Using this sifting process large percentages of controller applicants would wash out of the program requiring the agency to continually recruit, test and put trainees through boot camp. Somewhat like boot camp the purpose of the program was to wash out lots of people and the cost of washing people out was so considerable that it caught the attention of a Bush 2 cost cutter who devised the plan of shifting this cost to the applicants whereby they’d be trained on their own dime before going through the boot camp. To make this story short, new trainees came in having gone into debt just to be disqualified in training which then led to lawsuits. This was, in my friend’s telling, the start of the decline in standards that leads to the Obama attempt to surpass even the Bush Admin’s stupidity.

Cool story, Curle – no, seriously, I’d not known this part of the story. (Heard plenty about the Reagan mass firing, well before your story.) However, I, and AD, I assume, are talking about recent happenings.

There is still a real shortage of controllers, and this is due to the Covid-19 BS. Now, even if one cares not a whit about basic principles, such as seeing the Totalitarianism with State Governors abusing their (30-day) “emergency” authority, and the Fed Gov pushing vaxes via Big Biz, etc, etc., practically speaking, the PanicFest caused lots of long-term damage. Economically speaking, the controller shortage is just one example.

You may get into a holding pattern going INTO New York City every 10th flight, but LEAVING NYC is a different story. Our flight got put into a hold on the climb-out SW-bound. It was very clear, after asking a bit, that this was due to the particular sector of the Washington (ARTCC) Center lacking manpower. These people do not get political and are very professional with their phraseology, but it was clear what the deal was.

Then, another time, upon leaving a different hub airport for a very short flight (25 min. in the air), we were on the ground for nearly 2 hours due to, what was finally admitted, a lack of controllers along a part of the route.

The possible tragic events that could occur, as per AD and plenty of videos, are obviously the MAIN thing, but delays and other screwage are another.

BTW, I’ve thought too that there are probably some more worries now, because more info. on flights is available everywhere – Flight Aware, Live ATC (websites), youtube videos, etc. (Check out “Kennedy Steve” – former Kennedy ground controller- sometime. Then, there’s one First Officer who flies freight who makes very detailed videos with explanations of ATC stuff while he’s in his hotel room. Forgot his name – he’ll go on for 10 – 20 minutes about some radio talk that took 10 sec, but he gets to every point.)

Well, I tell you what, Bachman, whoever he is, I’ll just go do me some of that Steve Sailer style Noticing* here.

Now, let’s see, what was going on on airline flights in ’21? Oh, yeah, the face-masking rules started in June or so of ’20 and didn’t stop until well into Spring of ’22 – thank you, thank you, Florida judge, for the latter!!

People did NOT like that business. It wasn’t just the breathing problems, but communication got plain stupid. Flight Attendants were made into Mask-Commies, most of them not really scared of the Flu Manchu itself but scared of losing their jobs for not making that mountain out of a molehill. (In the corporate world, you can’t be fired for making mountains out of molehills. You can for admitting that molehills are actually just molehills.)

If you’re going to get into this simple data, remember that hardly any people were on the flights back in Summer of ’20, with it only ramping up slowly toward that Christmas. When people are spread apart, one to a whole row, things aren’t so testy. When they’re all packed in, and bugged to “pull that mask back over your nose, or else!” by gate agents, the TSA, crew, and even other passengers, what would you expect? 6,000 unruly passengers? Shoot, I’m surprised it wasn’t 600 flight attendants beat about the head and body. “What’s the Frequency, Kenneth?!!” Again, not really their idea.

.

* Thanks to the anon above, I got to watch the commercial. Nice job! I really liked it. (I got 3 copies already though – have lent 2 of them out.)

Thanks. I read this article yesterday and it made my jaw drop. I guess the silver lining is that it is forcing the “Rules Based Order” tyrants to drop the mask. Still, absolutely amazing. Never forget to point this out the next time one of these turds lectures us about the “assault on democracy.”

Paying to read a scroll of left-wing talking points. Fascinating.

Somewhat like boot camp the purpose of the program was to wash out lots of people and the cost of washing people out was so considerable that it caught the attention of a Bush 2 cost cutter who devised the plan of shifting this cost to the applicants whereby they’d be trained on their own dime before going through the boot camp. To make this story short, new trainees came in having gone into debt just to be disqualified in training which then led to lawsuits. This was, in my friend’s telling, the start of the decline in standards that leads to the Obama attempt to surpass even the Bush Admin’s stupidity.

Curle I get the argument. And probably agree setting up this college thing was pointless. (I’m for “less college, more testing”.)

But the college thing can not explain the decline. People go to college and do not get the job they want all the time. People even go to law school and fail the bar exam. People go to med school and fail their boards or can not get a residency position. People get engineering degrees and never become licensed engineers. (In fact, that’s typical.) You don’t get to sue–well your lawsuit goes nowhere–just because you don’t cut the mustard after spending $$$.

If people trot off to an FAA program, but then wash out … yeah “sucks for them” but that isn’t a problem for ATC. Having “pre-prepped” candidates from these programs actually should improve the pool just like colleges improve the pool of workers in many industries (even as they make our elites more toxic).

The issue isn’t “hey here’s a program to prepare to be an ATC”, the issue is the standards in becoming an ATC.

In other words, these college programs can not logically be the issue. The issue is degrading the standards. Someone bureaucrat capitulates in the lawsuit and says “oh you go this degree we’ll take that as your being qualified”.

And beyond that the DIE effect of DIE stuff–where you start selecting candidates precisely to try and “diversify” something that has not naturally been diverse, is always destructive. It’s not just a “known bad”, but more like “known toxic”. ATC has no doubt gotten simpler with technology, but its fundamental skill is based in spatial aptitude under real time pressure. It is properly overwhelmingly male and non-diverse. It would be entirely reasonable to only even start the screening with candidates who are white and Asian men.

And again–again, again–nothing you’ve said changes the validity of my point.

Trump can order–day one–a restoration of high standards and abolition of DIE. If there’s is really a “not enough high quality guys interested”–advertise and raise pay.

Good policy, good politics, good ideology work against the minoritarian cancer.

But who knows?

Perhaps United Health Care is saving gullible patients from unnecessary treatments prescribed by rapacious doctors?

I have heard that a surgeon I know in the US can get paid $15000 for a knee replacement and can do several in a single day.

Last year I had three steel nails inserted in broken wrist. For reasons I won’t go into, I ended up spending 5 days in the hospital before I finally had the surgery at 3:00 am. The surgery took 5 minutes.

Fortunately this didn’t cost me anything out of pocket beyond the taxi to and from the hospital and reimbursing someone for bringing me some clean pajamas and some Paracetamol, but was it really necessary to put in the 3 nails? How can you tell?

A million decisions must be made every week as to whether tests and procedures are necessary or not. If an insurance company declined a procedure and wrote me a clear letter explaining why it was declined, also sending the same explanation to the prescribing doctor explaining why his decision did not follow best practice guidelines, it might be a useful safeguard and save me from unnecessary suffering.

Being hectored by the “Harry Litman” parasites is just “Life in America” the past 60 years.

I say “good riddance”. I’m your basic “go do your thing … just not in my face” kind of nice guy. So I’m fine with Harry Litman and the new “vibrant”–officially non-cat eating–residents of Springfield Ohio, being given a patch where they can build their rainbow paradise together. Let Litman lecture them.

But–I know this will shock you–the Harry Litmans just somehow never ever move to the Springfields or even the East LAs. They always sit and hector us from pleasant non-diverse whitetopias. Just nasty little cancerous carbuncles on America.

And if you can’t find enough highly-qualified minorities, then send recruiting ships to Africa with NOW HIRING painted on the sails.

Not “highly qualified”; fungjble farm tools. So expensive and inefficient we invented mechanical combines to replace them.

Not bad, but how many takes were needed??

The organization and funding of the 2020 racial terrorism in the U.S. created a talent pool of white male antifa who are more hardcore than their comrades. Thomas Matthew Crooks, the would-be assassin of President-Elect Trump had an antifa background and spent time at a Western Pennsylvania shooting range where undercover ATF talent scouts searched for young white men like Crooks. The successful assassin of the United Healthcare CEO appears to have been from Atlanta which is another base for antifa. If this info has any validity it could be a sign that the race warriors have transitioned to class warriors.

OT – in interesting financial news, the famed “Hawk Tuah” girl, who started a podcast that recently featured Mark Cuban) has just pulled off a crypto coin scam that has the crypto world tearing her to shreds:

an enraged Rachel Maddow stormed after Mika Brzezinski backstage, igniting a fiery confrontation that left onlookers stunned.

People even go to law school and fail the bar exam.

Yes, and in response Bar Associations across the country started raising the pass rates, i.e., lowering the standards. Passing the bar was much tougher in the ‘80s.

There really isn’t much you can do with an ATC degree other than get an ATC job. And I don’t think the government’s attorneys really wanted to make your argument to a jury.

Williams throws into his piece, without citation to any source, that “most high-school diplomas are fraudulent.” Since the 90’s I’ve suspected same, but that 2018 piece is the first place I’ve ever seen the contention made.

The late novelist Arthur Hailey made a career out of writing long books that combined soap-opera plotlines with meticulously-researched behind-the-scenes depictions of the workings of major institutions (a hospital, a hotel, etc.).

Today he is best remembered for Airport, the inspiration for the infamous 1970s disaster-movie series. The novel is a fascinating time capsule of the airline industry in the late ’60s, a full decade before deregulation.

One of the main protagonists of Airport is Mel Bakersfield (played by Burt Lancaster in the movie), the director of the fictional Lincoln International in Chicago. In both the book and the movie, Bakersfield endures much agony as his social-climbing shrew of a wife continually berates him for his devotion to his job. And she’s not the only member of his family who’s out for his throat. His brother-in-law, Capt. Vernon Demerest (Dean Martin, who got ten percent of the gross and made a fortune when the movie smashed box-office records), dismisses him as a “penguin” who is running the airport straight into the ground.

But in the novel, he has a brother who is in even worse shape (mentally) than he is. The brother is a veteran air traffic controller who is planning to kill himself at the end of his shift. He has never recovered from an incident a couple of years earlier in which a small private plane collided with a military jet. The occupants of the private plane – a young family – were killed. There were three controllers on duty – a “Negro” among them – but he blames himself for the accident.

Here’s an excerpt. Note the late-’60s political correctness – Hailey goes out of his way to paint the “Negro” in a favorable light.

Why won’t the Twitter link show on the page?

Ask Ron Unz how it’s done.

Fascinating.

Indeed, Mr. Spock. There’s no intelligent life all up in here…

A controversial AI program used to deny elderly people health coverage is now at the center of questions about the shooting of the UnitedHealthcare CEO….
It has now emerged that during the years before that, the company implemented AI software that had a 90 percent denial rate.

A lawsuit has claimed the software led to the deaths of at least two men who were elderly patients denied post care following a stroke and fall.

D’oh!

OT — Well, this is terrifying in multiple ways.

You mean regarding your cognitive state? Get some sleep, bud.

Wow, a black kid who can run real fast, whoopee. About as useful as an Indian kid who can spell long obscure words that nobody uses. Or an Arab who is rilly good at making grilled meat on a stick.

The only story here is “Queensland” on his outfit. A fine son of Brissie, no doubt. One more shitstain who will never, ever, ever go home to his glorious native toilet bowl.

Countless thousands of examples like this. Not the aviation “event” but the incessant shoehorning of “Narrative” into every single narrative. Movies, novels, television shows, newspapers, magazines, corporate training manuals, school lectures, even poetry.

Over time it adds up. Accretes into an impregnable fortress of prejudice, every bit of it the exact opposite of the prejudice we’re told is actually in operation.

just pulled off a crypto coin scam that has the crypto world tearing her to shreds:

Crypto is a scam. So this guy is just parsing through these other people pulling an even more obvious ripoff within their little crypto fantasy world they play in. The fact that at bottom all the discussion ends up about someone making millions of dollars is the reality check.

“Money” is either something that people actually want–ex. food, gas, ammunition. Or more typically whatever the guys with guns demand you pay your taxes in. Crypto has “value” only because even smart people are cable of fantasy thinking–the story of our age–and so right now you can sell your crypto for dollars or euros or whatever to buy gas or groceries or pay your taxes.

In the end you can not avoid political risk. If you hate how our elites are running America into the ground … then you have to fix that. Pretending crypto can avoid any of that is a complete fantasy. Just–way more expensive to produce–tulip bulbs. When people lose interest … worth nothing.

Thanks, Stan, that was interesting.
Regarding ATC, I’ve never had a problem and they’ve always been extremely helpful and always professional, although I’ve heard and read stories to the contrary.
I noted the involvement of a T-33 in the text you quoted. I got to back seat one once. It was okay, the ailerons were a bit sensitive due to the crude, 1940s-era hydraulic boost, which seems to have come directly off a P-38. But with more stick time I would have gotten used to it.
The T-33 was the trainer variant of the P-80. Richard Bong, top ace of WW2 was killed in a P-80 when the engine flamed out on take-off when the fuel pump failed. He’d forgotten to turn on the aux fuel pump, a checklist item, didn’t turn it on when the engine flamed out, instead opting to bail out at less than 200 feet and was killed when his chute didn’t open.
Usually, whenever there is an accident involving airplanes, ships, etc., somebody operating the thing, man or woman, forgot to do something they know to do, were trained to do, and ordinarily do as a matter of course, but this one time they forgot, and one time is all it takes.

“Crypto is a scam… ”

Kidding aside – I’m not a financial expert by any means, but I think your opinion is a bit simplistic. I’ve read compelling arguments that the Federal Reserve is a scam, but it’s been functioning for over 100 years.

Anyway, my take from the story is more a cultural observation: That a dim witted slut who got famous demonstrating how she services a phallus was able to become the face of an obvious con job and yet still attract enough suckers to make her a couple million dollars in a few hours.

After the lockdown I am totally willing to believe in illegal experimentation on prisoners.

I am totally willing to believe

From any random source?

He’ll certainly have an opinion, but won’t mention who the judge is.

“The Zionist Jews controlling our planet are all pedophiles who have no regard for the sanctity of human life and purity,”

Yes, what reasonable person could consider this utterly harmless and truthful remark to be antisemitic? I wish the dirty Jews would stop trying to gaslight everyone into believing that antisemitism exists on the right when clearly it doesn’t.

“Our” side is pulling the same sh*t in Georgia. First, the Georgian government attempted to enact legislation that required foreign NGO’s to register as foreign agents. But the US and some EU members, which all have laws in their own countries that require foreign NGO’s to register as foreign agents, complained that Georgia’s plans to require NGO’s as foreign agents was somehow undemocratic. And now, after the Georgian party that is neutral on Russia defeated the party that was very hostile to Russia in an election, the US is trying to foment a so called “color” revolution to overturn the results of that election. Evidently, the US wants to help Georgia fight Russia to the last Georgian just like we helped Ukraine fight Russia to the last Ukrainian.

He is one of the best in the world in his field of endeavor. Are you?

Um, yes, actually.

But if you call running real fast a “field of endeavor,” maybe you’re not one of the best in the world at identifying same.

If someone pays you for it, it’s a field of endeavor.

Obviously when you have millions of cases, there are going to be some that fall through the cracks.

A better question is whether Medicare Advantage ought to exist at all. Having for-profit health insurance companies offering Medicare with lower deductibles and premiums than regular Medicare is just asking for trouble.

And then you come to the whole issue of end-of-life issues, or what they call Social Care in the UK, which is very tricky when nursing home care in the last months or years of life may wipe out the estate of the deceased.

It is particularly tricky in the areas of hospice and palliative care. Obviously insurance companies would prefer people to die quickly.

For example take two alternatives: 1. Insurance is refused and person has to pay for the treatment or care out of their own savings, or retirement account, or perhaps by selling their home. 2. Insurance is refused and person promptly dies due to lack of treatment or care.

Interestingly the UK has just recently passed a Bill in Parliament that will allow people who have (supposedly) less than 6 months to live and are of sound mind (so no dementia patients, presumably) to opt for legal “assisted suicide” in which a doctor will supply them or their family with sufficient drugs to off themselves.

Whether this law is a good idea, I don’t know. I have my doubts. However, I have no doubts that the insurance companies in the US would welcome such legislation as it would be good for the bottom line.

Don’t recognize that. The subject was Charlie Kirk, a supporter of Israel and conventional conservative of the current mode. Can you show people one thing Charlie Kirk has said that any reasonable person could consider to be anti-Semitic in any way, to include the dishonest way of including criticism of the Israeli government?
Bonus points! To include your doggerel, can you see how the one enables the other?

Romania COUP?: Election CANCELED Over ‘Misinformation’

Dec 10, 2024

Krystal and Saagar discuss Romania cancelling their election over alleged online misinformation.

It is terrifying that a failed propaganda myth which was COMPLETELY DISCREDITED IN THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD and which never made any sense in the first place and which contradicts the basic precepts of democratic society is legal grounds in any nation to nullify an election and imprison an innocent man.

“US: I need stitches.” DOCTOR: Your bill will be $67,000.”

That is funny of course, but it is also an elision of the truth. The joke implies that the doctors/healthcare corps are plain old crooks, grossly overcharging for a simple procedure. The reality is more like this…

US PATIENT: I need stitches.

DOCTOR: Your bill will be $67,000… That is, $425 for the simple procedure, and then $66,575 tacked on invisibly to pay for ILLEGAL LATINOS!! AND ALL THEIR NINOS!! AND ALL *THEIR* NINOS TAMBIEN!!! PAY UP STUPID YANQI GRINGO!! SI SI SI SI SIIIIII!!!!”

In other words, it’s the true cost of cheap labor, and genocidal Jewish policy preferences.

Yes. It’s “Russia, Russia, Russia” all over again.

The amount of pull, twist and manipulation “our” US has in Romania is beyond what you know.

My late father-in-law taught me some things. A retired army colonel there, he was involved in the nuts and bolts of how that country ran, both under CeauÈ™escu and after. When he was still alive, he cried to me whenever “my” America forced something on “his” government.

Basically, countries like Romania are entirely controlled by “our” empire. The sad thing is, they went from being controlled by the Soviet Union to being controlled by the neocon US/West. Fact. He witnessed it, and I watched it with him.

What bothers me now is that that country, and some people I know and love there, are being placed on the front lines in an American proxy war against Russia.

BTW, our real estate sale there finally happened today, and the money was transferred to us. I can’t tell you how much work we had to do to get this shit to happen. Whatever, it is a timely, precautionary exit of assets from a very questionable place at this time.

Romania’s Russiagate Hoax
Citing Alleged Russia Threat, Romanian Authorities Cancel Democratic Election
Rod Dreher
Dec 07, 2024

[…]
Today Romanians woke up to a country in which their top court, on a pretext (“Russiagate�) that nobody believes, is trying to save the establishment’s ass by annuling democracy, just as the populist Georgescu was set to win in a landslide on Sunday. And — note well, my fellow Americans — Washington has publicly endorsed this move. State Department statement:

The United States stands with the Romanian people as they face an unprecedented situation regarding the integrity of their elections. Romanians must have confidence that their elections reflect the democratic will of the Romanian people and are free of foreign malign influence aimed at undermining the fairness of their elections. The integrity of Romania’s elections is paramount for Romanians’ hard-earned democracy. It is the choice of the Romanian people whom they elect. No other country or foreign actor has that right.

We note the Romanian Constitutional Court’s decision today with respect to Romania’s presidential elections. The United States reaffirms our confidence in Romania’s democratic institutions and processes, including investigations into foreign malign influence. We call on all parties to uphold Romania’s constitutional order and engage in a peaceful democratic process free from threats of violence and intimidation and which reflects the Romanian people’s democratic will.

I’m sorry, but I’m picking myself up off the ground from laughing at the US Government, the font of Nulandist color revolutions, saying that no foreign country has the right to interfere with Romanian elections.
