Huh

Went to dinner at a friend's house last night

 Hadn't really been out in a while, so it was nice to just hang out and chill and have a cigar with some good folks,  Lots of political talk, all of it centered around the fact that the current crop of shitheads deserves to be dropped off the deck of an aircraft carrier while it's underway.

And then out early again tonight.  Maybe I'll get some time to post this evening while I have my after-dinner cigar.

I was up and out early today

 Gonna be doing it all weekend, too.

For the last time,  barring some sort of paperwork screw up.  That light at the end of the tunnel seems to be zooming close really fast.

Do Not Forget. Do Not Forgive.

Couldn't happen to a nicer commie

 CDC director tests positive for the Kung Flu AGAIN.

The director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, has tested positive again for COVID-19. Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan announced Monday that he also tested positive for the virus.

Walensky, who has been isolating at her Massachusetts home since she was first diagnosed on Oct. 21, started developing mild symptoms and tested positive again on Sunday after taking a course of Pfizer's antiviral pill Paxlovid, the CDC said in a statement.

I love stories like this.  Because I use them to beat people about the head and shoulders when they say something incredibly stupid, like "The vaccine is safe and effective!"

B--b-but PRIVATE COMPANY!!!!

 Yeah, fuck that shit.

The Department of Homeland Security has left open a special feature that allows government officials to flag Facebook posts for misinformation after scrapping a controversial advisory board tasked with developing guidelines for social media censorship, the Intercept reported Monday.

Full stop, right now. 

The government.  Is telling.  Facebook.  What posts are allowed.

Those activities include a Facebook portal only accessible by government and law enforcement representatives to formally request the platform kill or label alleged misinformation, according to the Intercept. A leaked set of slides contains instructions on how to operate the system, and the URL to access the site — facebook.com/xtakedowns/login — was still active at the time of publication.

Fucking heads on fucking pikes.  I thought that fecesbook was a collection of Marxist cunts who wanted to please their political masters, but no, the government was actually censoring speech on their own and using fecesbook to do it.

Don't let your kids use fecesbook.  Cut the bastards off.

And for all the libertarians and neocons out there who wailed about how a private company can do what they want?  Care to explain this one to me?  Anyone?

Pandemic amnesty? Not a fucking chance.

 How about you die screaming instead?

In April 2020, with nothing else to do, my family took an enormous number of hikes. We all wore cloth masks that I had made myself. We had a family hand signal, which the person in the front would use if someone was approaching on the trail and we needed to put on our masks.  Once, when another child got too close to my then-4-year-old son on a bridge, he yelled at her “SOCIAL DISTANCING!”

These precautions were totally misguided. In April 2020, no one got the coronavirus from passing someone else hiking. Outdoor transmission was vanishingly rare. Our cloth masks made out of old bandanas wouldn’t have done anything, anyway. But the thing is: We didn’t know.

That last bit of emphasis is in the original, I didn't put it there.  I guess the writer, one Emily Oster, wants to highlight her ignorance about basic facts.  Because here's the thing:  Lots of us DID KNOW, and when we spoke out we were attacked by the ignorant cunts who decided that any dissent from the narrative was tantamount to Hitler, Attila the Hun and the Black Plague all showing up at the same time.

Plenty of people out there knew that masks didn't work.  Just the sheer lunacy of telling people that a flimsy piece of cloth will save you from a virus makes my head boggle.  But stupid, ignorant people like Emily Oster believed it.

Plenty of people out there know that the jab is worthless.  You forced people to get it anyways.  And oh by the way, those vaxed folks are now showing up in hospitals with the Beijing Barf, while the unvaxed are doing just fine.  

We knew social distancing was bullshit.  We knew that quarantining healthy people was idiotic.  And we figured out pretty damn quick that kids weren't getting sick with the Kung Flu.  And for knowing all of that, we were attacked as science deniers, anti-vaxxers (do you know how many vaccines I've had in my life?), conspiracy theorists, and evil.

So YOU didn't know anything, Ms. Emily Oster.  And the little liberal bubble that you live in is is full of people who are as ignorant as you are, and who mindlessly attacked ANYONE who exposed their ignorance.  It's still going on today.  I see the push for six-month-old children to get the jab.  The government keeps pushing the jab non-stop, and the mindless liberal drones that infest every urban area shriek on and on about how the jab will save us, even as more and more jabbed people come down sick.

So no, no amnesty.  Not until the people who attacked us and slandered us and shut down the economy and shut down the schools and locked down healthy people are all rounded up and put into a jail.  THEN, maybe, we can talk about forgiveness.  And we all know that ain't gonna happen, because the people that Emily Oster wants us to forgive are STILL IN POWER, and STILL ABUSING US.  There has been NO accountability for the damage caused, the harm inflicted by the scamdemic tyrants. 

Nope right the fuck off with that amnesty bullshit.  And I'm not alone in this.

Yep.

The Paul Pelosi story just got officially wierd

 Yeah, so the guy who "beat" him broke into the house of a multi-millionaire who's married to the current Speaker of the House, and nobody noticed anything?

Really?

Yeeaaaaaaah, nope.

As SF's gay bars closed at 2 am, two gay men met in a bar and went home together. Happens every night in the City by the Bay. Except one of these two men, was married to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

I might disappear for telling you the truth. If I do, you'll all know why. But here's what really happened early Friday morning in San Francisco. IMHO--in my humble opinion.

The reporter goes one to say that when Pelosi had his DUI, he also had a young man in the car with him, a fact that was covered up by law enforcement.

Given the level of evil and debauchery that happens in politics in general, and Scat FranFreakshow in particular?  Is there anyone out there willing to say that this didn't happen as the reporter is estimating?n  I'm not.

But, but.... EXPERTS!

 Just remember, if "X" is an unknown quantity, and a "spurt" is a drip of water under pressure, then an "expert" is an unknown drip under pressure.

U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) officials were alerted that they spread misinformation about child COVID-19 deaths but still did not issue corrections, according to emails obtained by The Epoch Times.

Drs. Katherine Fleming-Dutra and Sara Oliver were told within days of presenting to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), the CDC’s vaccine advisory panel, in June that statistics from a preprint study they shared were wrong, the emails show. But after internal discussion about how to respond, neither the CDC nor the officials corrected the false information.

Fleming-Dutra and Oliver both referenced the study, which has not been peer reviewed, while the CDC’s advisers weighed whether to recommend the agency grant emergency authorization for COVID-19 vaccines for babies and toddlers.

The committee ultimately recommended the CDC authorize Pfizer and Moderna shots for children as young as 6 months of age and the CDC quickly accepted the recommendation.

The "experts" at the CDC have proven their incompetence multiple times over in the past few years, both in how they handled the Kung Flu and how they handled (lol) the Buttsex pox.  Er...  monkey pox outbreak.  Yeah.  That one where the only people getting it were people who had buttsex with random dudes?   But they wouldn't tell people to stop letting anonymous men fuck them up the ass.  Nope.  Can't offend the Democrat constituents, after all.

The CDC needs to be nuked, along with just about every three-letter agency in D.C.

Heh

I've never really liked Pumpkin Spice.   But I also don't like pumpkin pie all that much.

Thinking about getting back on Twitter

 Musk owns it.  Supposedly, no censorship from the commies.  Whaddya think?

Fuck. Off. You Marxist shitheads.

 Italian Bishops vomit forth the usual marxist bullshit that we've come to expect from the Church's so-called "leadership".

ROME — The head of the Italian Bishops’ Conference (CEI), Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, has urged Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni to prioritize welcoming migrants and “ecological transition” in her governing program.

I'm just done pretending that these people have any connection to God or the actual Church.  Inviting Muslims into your country en mass doesn't do anything to help them, and it certainly doesn't do anything to improve your country.  You want to help the poor?  HELP THE POOR WHERE THEY ARE.  The Good Samaritan didn't take the beaten man into his house, he took him to an inn and paid for his care.  There's a lesson there.

Racist Club Uses Intersectionality To Grow Membership Through Diversity ...

I think I've posted this before.  But I was talking about it to a friend yesterday and I had to dig it up and watch it again.

Key word: Jesuit

 Everyone needs to stop pretending that the Jesuits are remotely Catholic.

For whatever reason, I can't pull any text from the article, so you'll just have to go read how a Jesuit wrote an essay on white privilege and is now indoctrinating his students with Critical Race Theory.

I think this is the perfect metaphor to describe how Satan corrupts things that were good.  The Jesuits used to be the Church's intellectual shock troops.  Now they're just a bunch of Marxist homosexuals who actively teach concepts that are antithetical to the Church and to God.  Jesuit schools used to focus on teaching a solid educational foundation.  Now it's godless gobbledygook.  The Jesuits stopped serving God a long time ago, and now they serve a different master.

  

I watched some of the debates last night

 Only a bit, because they're not my state, but I still wanted to see what was going on.

Holy Crap, Fettermnan was a disaster.  The guy can't talk.  He can't listen to you and understand you, he has to have these giant screens with someone transcribing speech for him.  The word salad he was vomiting out made me feel for the guy.  For a little bit.  And then I remember that he's doing this to himself, in a bid for political power.  The GOP didn't do itself any favors by choosing Dr. Oz to be their candidate, but Fetterman pretty much made Oz the next Senator by holding on to his bid.

The NY Gov race.  Zeldin vs. Hochul.  Another Holy Crap.  Hochul is a fucking hag, and I say that knowing that I'm probably insulting hags with that assessment.  If New York elects that botoxed commie they deserve everything that happens to them afterwards.  Her fake eyebrows only accentuate the fact that her upper face is frozen in place, and the lower half of her face seems to be fixed in a permanent sneer.  I wouldn't want her to be dogcatcher, much less have ANY position with power over me.

Anyways....  off to cook dinner.

I can still push myself as hard as I used to decades ago

 But I sure as hell pay for it now.

September and the first half of October was a grind.  I think I had one weekend off in September, and then I got another weekend off last weekend.  All the rest was working in one form or another.  

To put it plainly, that kicked my ass.  I'm still feeling the effects of it.  Gym workouts are harder to complete.  Brain fog.  And being pretty angry most the time from feeling tired all the time.

I shudder to think about how I'm going to feel in another decade.

I can remember doing a month of 12 hour days when I was 21.  No days off.  Just working my ass off.  And the moment it was over, party hard and then work again.  If I tried that now I'd be dead.

Unexpected

 A a looooong time ago, your humble narrator wasn't exactly a good Catholic boy.  Oh, I went to church and I sang in the choir, but I followed the Church's teachings about as well as a Great Dane dances ballet.  Which meant that when young Dave found a delightful young woman who's primary interest was in getting me naked and screwing like rabbits, I didn't hesitate one bit.

This delightful young woman was blonde, stacked, and for some unknown reason wanted me in all kinds of ways.  I still to this day never figured out why she was attracted to me but I wasn't about to bother her by asking, I was just going to enjoy the marathon shagging sessions that resulted.  

Fast forward a year - I'm now in the Army, and just got back from Basic Training.  The delightful young woman and I meet up once again.  Much illicit fun ensued, right before I got sent to Korea for a year.  But, as a way of showing her that I really intended to come back, I handed her my high school class ring.

There was a whole lot of story and action that occurred between those two periods, but I'll save that for another day.

We keep up correspondence while I'm overseas, until one day the letters just....  stop.  This kind of shit happens.  I get over it, and when I come back from Korea I try to find her, but she's gone in the wind.

Now, fast forward to last year, when I get a weird email asking me if I'm the Dave from specific place and specific time.  I respond, and the next email is "Hey, this is (name redacted) and I've been trying to find you for years.  I wanted to give you your ring back."

Turns out she's happily married, two kids, good life, and she wanted to close that particular chapter of her past.

Got the ring in the mail yesterday.  It doesn't fit anymore, as my fingers are a bit more beat up and gnarly than they were when I was 18.  It's still beat to shit because I would wear it when I was drumming, and the repeated hammering from a drumstick on the ring turned the band into more of an oval than a circle.  

I wish that delightful lady the best.  I'll dash off a note thanking her for the ring.  Some things come out of the blue, and this was one of them.

Tying into yesterday's post

 The Fuckening continues.

If you live in the Northeast, you know that even in normal times, heating oil bills constitute a significant expense because winters are usually brutal. Unfortunately, this year could be the worst year ever for residents of the region hoping to adequately heat their homes. Not only are heating oil prices through the roof on anti-fossil fuel President Joe Biden’s watch, but even for those who have the funds to stock up, it doesn’t really matter: heating oil rationing is already taking place.

I have friends and family in the New England area.  I hope they stay safe and warm  But I won't cry a single tear for any Democrat who freezes to death this winter.  They voted for this.  They can fucking own it.  

Folks, prepare for the Fuckening

 Because Joe Biden is going to be screwing America more and more no matter who sits in Congress.  How, you ask?  Well, like this.

As Bloomberg noted this week, “The US has just 25 days of diesel supply, the lowest since 2008, according to the Energy Information Administration. At the same time, the four-week rolling average of distillates supplied, a proxy for demand, rose to its highest seasonal level since 2007.”

The Biden administration has remained strangely silent, probably hoping that the dismal news doesn’t hit the mainstream because it’s a total political timebomb waiting to go off, especially as the midterm elections are so close.

Diesel fuel is tied to EVERY aspect of American life, because if you bought it, it got to you through some combination of diesel-fueled transportation.  Trucks and trains all use diesel.  And unless you manage to live on the coast and have your supplies delivered by sailboat, your food, your goods, all of it needs diesel fuel to get to you.

So what's the best way to screw over Americans?  Make the cost of diesel skyrocket, so that everybody has to pay more.

This is all being done on purpose, folks.  This isn't just ignorance, this is malice.  Pure, unadulterated malic.
