After much drama, rending of clothes, high fiving, screaming, crying, cheering, and all around idiocy, we have a new Supreme Court justice, after successfully avoiding any actual rational discussion by our elected chimps of his statist jurisprudence and why he might not be a good choice on substantive grounds. Well done, Team Blue, you’ve managed once again to drown out useful debate with social signaling and culture wars. And while you’re at it, the two-three mailers a day like the above one that I’ve been getting from you for our local election have been effective in swaying me from, “Meh, don’t care, I’ll likely abstain,” to, “Fuck you guys, I’m voting for Idstein, whoever the hell he is, but he’s not filling my mailbox with mendacious garbage.”
Not that I’m annoyed. But I’m annoyed. The only thing that will make me feel slightly better will be watching Baker Mayfield being welcomed to the NFL today by that kind and gentle soul, Terrell Suggs. And a recitation of key birthdays: Niels Bohr, whose Copenhagen interpretation muddied the quantum waters for decades, Del Lord, who directed the greatest comic trio of all time (do not argue with me), slimeball Catharine MacKinnon, and scam artist and all-around Jew-hater Elijah Muhammed and his spirit animal Heinrich Himmler.
On to the actual news.
To demonstrate that there’s at least one agency in DC that has yet to be cleaned up, the FDA took action to ban seven food additives in response to money-grubbing litigation-focused “public interest” groups armed with the pernicious Delaney Amendment.
The decision comes in response to a petition brought by environmental and consumer groups, including the Natural Resources Defense Council, the Center for Food Safety, and the Center for Science in the Public Interest. “We think this is a win for consumers,” says Erik Olson of the Natural Resources Defense Council.
The FDA had concluded that these flavoring compounds do not pose a health risk to consumers. “The synthetic flavoring substances that are the subject of this petition are typically used in foods available in the U.S. marketplace in very small amounts and their use results in very low levels of exposures and low risk,” concludes an FDA statement on the petition. “While the FDA’s recent exposure assessment of these substances does not indicate that they pose a risk to public health under the conditions of their intended use, the petitioners provided evidence that these substances caused cancer in animals who were exposed to much higher doses,” the FDA statement says.
The three named groups are the food and environmental lawyer equivalent of the SPLC. After interacting with them professionally in the past, I came away with an even more cynical attitude, something I thought impossible. When “public interest” related to “science” is driven by lawyers, it’s safe to default to a Bullshit! mode.

Romania is one of several Eastern European nations that already ban both same-sex marriage and same-sex unions in civil law. Now it’s trying to ban it in the constitution. The government is spending millions holding a two-day referendum this weekend so voters can approve the change. “Do you know what a traditional family is? It’s a man and a woman who are able to bear children,” declared Liviu Dragnea, the leader of the ruling Social Democrats, after he cast his vote on Saturday. “I have voted for what millions of Romanians have been demanding, for what I think defines us as a society and as a nation.”
I love that it’s “social democrats” leading this charge. Sigh. Maybe one day, someone rational will successfully convince people that marriage should not be subject to the whims of the State. One day. Maybe.
Will Vinton died this week. As a fan of great animation, I am saddened by this; Vinton’s work was not only great in its own right, but it inspired the next generation of claymation art. For those of you who only know him through dancing raining commercials, here’s an example of the greatness of his serious work. And another. And another…
If there’s anything more inevitable than cops being murderous jackboots, it’s their sleazy unions defending them, no matter how egregious their behavior.
“This sham trial and shameful verdict is a message to every law enforcement officer in America that it’s not the perpetrator in front of you that you need to worry about, it’s the political operatives stabbing you in the back,” the FOP said. “What cop would still want to be proactive fighting crime after this disgusting charade, and are law abiding citizens ready to pay the price?”
If “the price” means “cops being accountable and going to jail when they commit crimes,” yep. And as several commenters have pointed out, the cop who murdered Tamir Rice is back at work, looking for the next kid to gun down. Police abuse is, of course, another issue that Team Blue has completely fucked up, making sure that we’re distracted by racial social signaling instead of the real issues of immunity, union protections, and far too many goddamn laws.
OK, not all cops are bad. Here’s one who provided a public service, fulfilling consumer demand. So of course, THAT had to be stopped.
A Florida police officer was arrested late Friday after state officials say he used his patrol car to sell drugs near an assisted living facility. “At the time of purchase, White was selling the drugs out of his marked patrol vehicle, while in uniform and was using his personal cellphone to facilitate the drug deals,” FDLE said in a statement.
I’m trying to imagine the brass balls of someone who would buy dope from a uniformed cop.
In Old Guy Music, I was listening to Swiss talk sadly about the dwindling numbers in his local VFW post. On the other hand, maybe that’s a good sign that we’ve been going in the right direction- foreign wars haven’t gone away (thanks Bush and Obama!), but they’re a lot smaller now. We can only hope they converge on zero. And that reminded me strongly of this wonderful song from a wonderful songwriter.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.
My first ever “first”. But seriously, from personal experience with coke- and crack-heads, they get so desperate for the next one they’ll go anywhere for it.

When do we ban caffeine, meat, sugar and alcohol from food?
Pretty sure some bogus study claimed bacon causes cancer or some nonsense.
I swear to every good thing on this planet, if they take bacon there will be war.
Don’t get me started on the acrylomide hoax.
They’re coming for your bacon, man!
SAVE YOUR BACON!
Those studies are usually something like 300 people with an all around shitty diet/lifestyle also eat some bacon (or other meat product) so it must be the bacon or they equate a diet of cheap deli “meat” to higher quality meat.
One of the worst “Holy Sh*t, we’re fooked” moments I had was when “What the Health” was hot on Netflix. A simple google search could link you to about a dozen articles showing how the stats they used were BS and all the “experts” they interviewed in the movie were all vegan authors and activists. Many normies I knew however just assumed the thesis was objectively true and parroted the ‘meat gives you cancer’ talking points around the water cooler anyway.
The only consolation is many of them returned to their normal dietary habits within a few weeks to the impact was short-lived.
Don’t give them ideas.
(Well, the more extreme already have these ideas.)
Why stop there? Ban food.
That’ll cause cancer, too. Ban eating and not eating food.
Nobody ever bans cancer. It’s that insidious.
“All things are poison and nothing is without poison; only the dose makes a thing not a poison.”
so no more than 3 bottles of wine. gotcha
Or five gallons of water.
Very true, too much water can be bad for you. I just had a patient this week with psychogenic polydipsia, a rare condition where paranoid delusions cause one to drink incredible amounts of water, resulting in low blood sodium and delirium.
When I was at the peak of my low-carbing, I drank 3 gallons a day, but I had to have a lot of salt. If I didn’t get it on my meat, I had to drink a lot of my sugar-free electrolyte drink.

What kind of delusion would lead to that? A suspicion of being poisoned and having to flush out the toxins or some such?

“Proactive” apparently means shoot first, and head for the barn. Safe.
Citizen, if you ever dare hold us accountable, we will just not do our job.
In a nation that has more firearms than citizens, I’m continuously bemused by the notion of law enforcement believing that it’s permissible for them to be above the law because they view themselves as the first and last line of defense against absolute anarchy.
Get over yourselves boys, you aren’t that important.
I think I’m going to order this once I whittle down my ever expanding stack of books to read. It was referenced on Tom Woods on Friday and it seems like it’d be interesting.

Let the fingerpointing commence.
Senate Democrats believed they had Brett Kavanaugh on the ropes.
Christine Blasey Ford had just revealed her identity and was prepared to testify in public, detailing her allegations that Kavanaugh had tried to sexual assault her more than three decades ago. On top of that, a New Yorker article had just revealed that a second woman, Deborah Ramirez, was accusing Kavanaugh of exposing his genitals to her while they were college students.
Then came Michael Avenatti.
———-
But the eye-popping nature of those claims suddenly gave Republicans an opportunity to shift the narrative away from Ford’s allegations and make a broader case that the growing accusations of sexual misconduct amounted to an orchestrated Democratic smear campaign, something Sen. Susan Collins, the swing GOP vote, cited herself when announcing she’d be the decisive vote to support Kavanaugh’s confirmation.
A host of Democratic senators and senior aides told CNN that the allegations from Avenatti’s client gave the GOP an opening to conflate — and dismiss — all the allegations in one broad brush.
“Well you know at some point there were a lot of folks coming forward making all sorts of accusations,” said Sen. Gary Peters, a Michigan Democrat, when asked about the allegations raised by Avenatti and his client. “It turns it into a circus atmosphere and certainly that’s not where we should be.”
Our bullshit smear would have worked if not for that meddling lawyer.
Dump Perez is trending on the Twatters. Good, that will elevate Keith Ellison, which should be a clarifying moment.
But I thought Avenatti was a hero of the #resistance?
Yep. From hero to zero in a day. That’s part of the playbook. Up next is scrubbing him out of any photos.
gave Republicans an opportunity to shift the narrative away from Ford’s allegations
Republicans mostly sat back and let Democrats punch themselves out for once. It wasn’t the right turning unproven and unprovable allegations of groping into attempted rape, serial gang rape soirees, accusations of pedophilia, and beer drinking in the first degree. The left did that.
That’s precious. “It was that scumbag Avenatti’s fault! It had nothing to do with our Scooby-Doo grade villainy!”
I told you indolent mammals he was one of ours.

El oh fucking el.
Whether Trump knew it or not, his remarks were perfectly pitched to stoke anxieties that have haunted many top Democratic operatives for a generation: the fear that their party loses big power struggles because Republicans are simply tougher, meaner, more cynical and more ruthless than they are.
A belief in one’s own virtue feels good. Losing a battle that could shape the American political landscape for decades feels bad. The tension between the two left some Democrats grappling anew this weekend with the implications: Maybe they really are the Wet Rag Party.
“They are more ruthless,” said Jennifer Palmieri, who over a quarter-century has served as a top aide to Bill Clinton, Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama. “And I don’t want to be like them. … The answer can’t be for Democrats to be just as cynical.”
The new Democrat talking point: “We’re just too goshdarn NICE!”
Cynical isn’t sitting on a “credible” allegation for two months? Or publicizing it against the (purported) wishes of the accuser? Cynical isn’t putting that damaged woman on the stand in a clearly engineered attempt to delay for time? It’s not cynical to harp on the need for an investigation for a week, only to denounce it when you finally get it?
If how they were up to now was “Nice”, I don’t want to imagine how they look when they aren’t “Nice”.
Vince Foster would like a word.
That was a false flag. Brett Kavanaugh murdered him.
They’re the Lack of Self-Awareness Party.
For the younger set (Karla Marx, Kamala Harri), I can’t decide if it’s blatant hypocrisy or un-self-awareness or zealotry.
For the older set, it’s lust for power and money, calculated actions toward that, and nothing so banal and innocent as mere hypocrisy.
Nah – for anyone in politics whose name you’ve already heard of, it’s already all about power. That’s how they get there.
Ignore all the screaming, harassing, and assaults by dems.
But that’s okay because it’s for a good cause, you see, the moral and ethical result! /prog
Exactly why they need to get this spin out there.
I get that it’s normal to be the protagonist of your own narrative, but that article was a special kind of delusional.

As a kid I loved the 3 Stooges at the Saturday matinees. My own kids are in their middle 50s, when I make the eye poke motion they reflexively hold up their hand over their noses. Now if they’d only get a job and move out of the basement…
My grandfather had Larry, Moe, and Curly’s autographs. He’d actually seen them do a live show in the 30s, when they were just starting to do films.
Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk
You need to give them the move where they hit your outstretched fist and it spins around and hits them on the top of the head. That’ll get them moving!

More from that Politico thing:
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, now regarded by Democrats as the face of shredding process in pursuit of power, blocked Obama nominee Merrick Garland and left a Supreme Court vacancy for a year until after Trump’s election and the nomination of Neil Gorsuch.
Poor Harry Reid. It’s like he never even existed.
Stooges, you say?
Slowly, I turned… step by step… inch by inch…
A few years ago, I was at a tech conference and at dinner, sat next to another scientist who was a black female, about my age. We were having a lively conversation about superhydrophobicity and polymer sidechains, when someone else at the table in another conversation uttered the words, “Niagara Falls.” The woman I was talking to murmured, “Slooooowly I turned…” OMG. THE RECOGNITION SIGNAL! We immediately started to do the entire skit (verbally, no eye-poking). The table went silent and stared as we proceeded, then segued into the Maha routine.
Yes, she and I became best buddies that night.

A Jew and a black woman are at a bar…
Lol. I have to believe that a female Stooges fan is even rarer than a libertarian woman.
My favorite Stooges.
I knew that bit from I Love Lucy (obviously later than the Stooges.) Not sure who originated it, but I think a lot of folks did it.
I’m sure. That routine has been done for probably a couple thousand years. Just change Niagara Falls to Thermopolis, or Gdansk, or Milan, etc.
Thank you! I was watching the Stooges version going, “I don’t remember this but I remember the words, what is up with that?” It’s because of I Love Lucy.
There used to be a Stooge marathon on TV every Sunday afternoon after church. I have great memories of my whole family watching an my great uncle’s house. All 3-4 generations were laughing together.
I had never seen that. Even though OMWC has brought it up before. *hangs head in shame*
But, now I have. Excellent! Thanks for posting in Brooks.

So I have a Japanese client for my ebook formatting business. It’s a religious organization with, shall I say, interesting theology. They’ve been my client for 10 years. Its leader is firmly on the Trump Train.
Uh, it isn’t Aum Shinrikyo, is it? Because if so,I think that gig is over.
No. Happy Science. Super nice folks. Pretty much a mashup of Christianity, Buddhism, and new agey self-help stuff. Nothing real original. I have no room to judge.
Oh shit. When I moved into my new house, my neighbor introduced herself to me. “Hi, I’m Tanaka. Nice to me you.” “Nice to meet you. I’m straffinrun.” Normal enough. Next sentence out of her mouth: “Are you Christian?” Now I’m worried she’s going to try and convert me to some cult so I answer, “Yes, Yes I am.” She continues, “Do you want to meet Jesus? I can introduce you to him.” Pretended I didn’t know what she was talking about and just smiled and closed the door. For the next few weeks she kept sliding videos from Kofuku no Kagaku into my mail slot. Big mistake. She tried it once when my wife was home and my wife opened the door and tore her a new asshole. It was kind of nice seeing someone other than me getting unloaded on.
LOL I only learned their Japanese name today. Never interested enough to look. I don’t know their propagation program. I just format their books and they have a lot of ‘em.

It’s all good. She’ll lose all of her facebook friens and then nothing else happens.
I like the rhetorical legerdemain they use. “Should we believe the victim?”
She (he) is only an accuser, until the facts are known beyond a shadow of a doubt.
thing is its the evidence was not just short of beyond a doubt. it was not even preponderance of evidence. Myself I did not even see some evidence.

So, I’m on my way down to DC so wifey can cast her vote for Bolsonaro, AKA Little Trump, AKA, evil dictator to be. According to Brazil’s CNN parroting media. I don’t know too much about the guy, but if CNN hates him, he must be doing something right.
In a public speech in April 2017, Bolsonaro said that he had five children, that the first four were male and that for the fifth he produced a daughter out of “a moment of weakness” – trolling or?
That sounds like something he would say. He’s sort of Trump like in the way he trolls the media and his opponents. My wife was laughing about a comment he made when a woman was calling him sexist and saying that he didn’t care if women are raped. And he said something to the effect of ‘Well, you don’t have to worry, you’re ugly, no one wants to rape you’.
As far as his politics are concerned, from what I’ve gathered from my wife and other Brazilians, he wants a 2nd amendment like amendment to their constitution to allow citizens to easily obtain weapons for personal protection. Economics wise, he seems a little vague, but he has an adviser who is apparently a lot more right wing capitalist pro-market than most of his opponents, most of who are firmly in the socialist bullshit camp.
But as far as his popularity is concerned. He is the anti-PT, the party of Lula and Dilma, which led to the Car Wash and Petrobras scandals and the ruination of the economy.
Camille Paglia: The Rise of “Strangely Unsexy” Instagram Exhibitionism — And Why It Hurts Women
Ouch. As much as I enjoy scantily clad females, I tend to agree with her that a lot of this stuff is just not hot. Particularly that chick Count Potato links to every day.
Just stay away from my tits…
I want nothing to do with your tits.
It’s the result of idiots like Lena Dunham insisting that taking off your clothes=empowerment. I don’t understand why that doesn’t make you a tool of the patriarchy. Why isn’t empowerment things like getting a law degree or running a business?
Oh, right. Those things require effort.
For Lena Dunham, i imagine taking clothes off takes some effort.
I like this guy, but after watching him get his head kicked in for 24:30 and winning by last second knockout, I’m pretty sure this was all CTE talking.

I didn’t see that fight. His last fight with Ngannou was so bad that I never want to see him fight again. Did you see it?
I saw the fight against Ngannou and the one last night. He is a terrible fighter but otherwise entertaining.
Looks like the grapplers have figured out how to strike sufficiently, but the strikers are not doing well with the grappling. Interesting time in MMA given what Cormier and Khabib did.
I think thats accurate. It’ll eventually swing back the other way.
Yep. Even sooner if Jon Jones comes back.
Scandal at Facebook
When Facebook’s vice president of global public policy, Joel Kaplan, a former aide to President George W. Bush who joined Facebook in 2011, decided to sit two rows behind his longtime friend Judge Brett Kavanaugh as he testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee last week, the seasoned Republican operative surely expected someone would notice. His colleagues back in Menlo Park sure did. Since the hearing, hundreds of Facebook employees have expressed objection within the company over Kaplan’s public show of support of Kavanuagh—so much so that it’s caused a firestorm within Facebook that the company is struggling to contain.
According to reports in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, equivocating internal responses from Facebook’s top brass have only fanned the flames. CEO Mark Zuckerberg, reportedly told employees that Kaplan didn’t violate any company policies, though appearing in the hearing room is not a move he would have made. Chief Operating Officer Cheryl Sandberg replied to an internal company thread on Kaplan’s appearance that has garnered hundreds of comments, saying that she spoke with him about why “it was a mistake for him to attend given his role in the company.” They were responding to—but hardly allaying—the shock and outrage that Facebook employees were expressing after seeing one of their executives show up in support of an accused sexual assaulter’s confirmation during a time of public pain for women across the country.
Facebook employees are shocked and outraged that one of their own has broken free of the hive.
It’s worth clicking on it, just for the accompanying photo.
#fakenews. That man’s tie is blue.
Here’s where I get frustrated and go all in on capitalist vs Labor. Labor continually seeks and puts themselves in the position of being overgrown children. If you can’t handle that someone else has differing views from you, and you can only frame those views as some sort of evil, you don’t deserve to be treated like an adult.
I can’t imagine having to work in a toxic environment like that. Other than keep your mouth shut, don’t talk to anyone, smile and nod in the right places.
Pretty much this. I work in a progressive legal department within a progressive silicon valley company. I shut the hell up, do my job, and try to avoid rocking the boat unnecessarily. I smile and nod when they talk about how oppressed women and minorities are in our legal department. I smile and nod when they talk about how certain charities are owed my time and efforts as a moral obligation of being gainfully employed with them. I smile and nod when they stump for their political action committee.
In my office, I’m surrounded by an Objectivist and two conservative Christians. However, we all very much keep to ourselves because we know full well what happens when the progs (in the office, in the department, or in the company) get a whiff of wrongthink. Really, we’re there to do a job, so we probably wouldn’t be shitlording anyway, but it’s amazing how quickly the progs make the work environment hostile to us.

*For those who don’t use twitter: “Whatever happens, I’m glad we ruined Brett Kavanaugh’s life.”
keep it classy.
Well I’m classy, so I certainly hope that no one comes out and #MeToo’s Sam. Especially as it is particularly destructive to people in his line of work.
Falsely, that is. If he’s a predator, he deserves everything that comes to him.
Sam wasn’t the one with the nasty tweet; he was the one pointing out that someone else did it and deleted it.

Stealing jerbs from honest Annie, the hooker with a heart of gold?
Damn – wife mixed me a mean G&T and I think I’m going blind…
Where did she get the gin? The 1920s?
Quit masturbating so much.
^^hate speech!^^
For the record, I don’t like the trend of replacing gin with vodka. You’re removing flavor and replacing it with nothing.
My guess is because many people have only tasted cheap rail gin and assume they all taste like pine cones. I know I did for many years.
Incorporating pinesol into the G&T doesn’t work as well.
If you can’t handle that someone else has differing views from you, and you can only frame those views as some sort of evil, you don’t deserve to be treated like an adult.
Exactly. When you’re at work, you have a specific goal to accomplish, whether it’s putting horsemeat in cans for some dog’s dinner, or corralling bits and bytes in the cloud. What your co-workers think, and with whom they associate, on their off hours is none of your goddam business.
Well, they’ve anointed themselves as the new digital Stasi and there’s nothing more hated than an corrupt insider.
What makes you think Team Blue has any problems at all with cop immunity, union protections, or too many laws?
This is why being “conservative” is the new punk rock, a-la Milo. This kind of moral policing and joyless scolding is always just *begging* for a backlash.

Interesting article. I think there’s a little trolling at the top, but he’s not wrong. I wasn’t alive in the 60s, but the allegedly live-and-let-live hippy philosophy is dead and gone on the left. I think if you were conspiracy-minded and you took a step back to look at American culture from, say, the 40s to the present, you’d see that the radical left systematically attacked traditional American culture under the auspices of openness and acceptance, replaced it with a technocracy, and are steadily turning American society in a more authoritarian direction.
In the 60’s, the live and let live hippies were just young adults that wanted to be left alone to experiment with drugs, sexual relations, and to be free to explore and live at the edges of American society. Even expand what a normalized American society was composed of.
Unfortunately there were also a bunch of power hungry zealots waiting in the wings, eager to seize the levers of government and civic institutions. Some American born, however I am increasingly beginning to believe there were thousands of foreign operatives inserted into key positions in protest groups, cultural institutions, academia, government, banking, and corporations. Clinton, Bush 2, and Obama were the culmination of those efforts.
What we are seeing may finally be Americans waking up and pushing back.
You carve up the west and you’d get more Republican senators.
I think they really want to consolidate the swathe of states from the Dakotas and Montana south to the Mexican border into a single state, so deplorable shitholes like Wyoming and North Dakota can’t bully California and Massachusetts anymore.
Lefties piss and moan about people in those rural western states having “more of a say” than people in New York or Taxachussetts, but this wouldn’t be an issue if they didn’t insist on every single decision being made on the federal level.
but then somebody, somewhere might be allowed to do something they disapprove of!
You’d think that maybe they’d simply want to try more federalism instead.
The guy needs to stop making me like him.
