Transgenders can play in their own league? Weird, I had been assured that was
impossible and Racist or something.
Still waiting on that female-to-male transgender who totally dominates a male

Bradley Cooper will play Frank Bullitt in a sequel to, not remake of, the Steve

He played a cabbie. I don't remember the plot. I liked it though. The chase was,
of course, good.
HBO Max has a lot of older movies available which is pretty much the only reason
to subscribe to HBO Max. Not that I would encourage anyone to pay money to any
of these piece of shit corporations; HBO is a sister corporation of CNN. I'm
just saying, of the crap on HBO, it's the old stuff that is actually worth

It's literally hilarious as all the censors, no long having conservatives around
to censor, begin censoring each other.
Meanwhile, the old guard of Mastodon doesn't like the bad habits that the
Twitter "journalist" invaders are bringing, like constant self-promotion and
extreme superficiality in posting, and they're banning new arrivals as well.

That doesn't sound like the "journalists" I know.

SURPRISE! MERRICK GARLAND'S CHOICE OF SPECIAL PROSECUTOR IS YET ANOTHER ANGRY
DEMOCRAT WITH A LIMITLESS JURISDICTION TO GET TRUMP
—ACE
NBC say that Merrick Garland made a "blunder" in his instructions to his corrupt
partisan special prosecutor. Rather than giving him instructions that would
result in a quick prosecutorial decision, as Garland claims he wanted, he
"blundered" and wrote instructions that would result in, get this, and endless
investigation with a limitless scope:

Does anyone think this is a "blunder"? No. Democrats and the Deep State and the
propaganda Orwellian media -- but I repeat myself thrice -- are determined to
have Trump under investigation for the rest of his natural life.
Meanwhile -- you'll never guess! -- Merrick Garland appointed a highly-partisan
Democrat apparatchik who conspired with Lois Lerner about what laws he could use
as pretext to assist in her illegal targeting of conservatives in order to
silence them as political speakers:

ACTRESS CANDACE CAMERON BURE LEAVES THE HALLMARK CHANNEL TO CREATE A CHRISTIAN
CHANNEL WITHOUT LGBT REPRESENTATION; THE LEFT FREAKS OUT
—ACE
America is a "Free Country" where Diversity is championed unless you deviate
from the One Form of State-Mandated Diversity, in which case you are to be
destroyed.
So the Hallmark Channel, which is large and well-established, now has gay
romance movies. The gays have their Gay Representation.
Christians don't have representation.
Candace Cameron Bure is leaving the Hallmark Channel to "build your own
network," as they're always telling conservatives to do when they take over a
space and turn it to poison. She's creating the Great American Family channel,
her own network, which will have Christian representation -- which, to her,
means no celebrating gay relationships.
Again, these are on the Hallmark Channel. So Muh Diversity is already over
there.
But no, we can't have actual diversity. Everyone must be made to validate and
praise gays, everywhere, at all times.
Because Love is Love.
Don't you feel the love, bigot? Why don't you love us, bigot?
> Candace Cameron Bure was slammed as a "bigot" this week for comments she made

Uh-oh.
Sounds like we're going to need some social and economic terrorism to produce
some Coerced Speech.

Of course she has.
You can click on the link to see some of the "love" directed at her.
She further defended herself from the outpourings of "love:"
> Bure, 46, told USA TODAY in October during a discussion about inclusivity on
> the channel that Great American Family would "have people of all ethnicities,"
> but is "going to focus on traditional families."
>

> She also said the network will "lean into the faith element," adding that

> not just making God a general statement of belief, but actually talking about
> Jesus and more specifics of the Christian faith."
>
> In a statement on Instagram Wednesday, Bure said that "beyond question" she
> has a "great love and affection for all people" and "it absolutely breaks my
> heart that anyone would ever think I intentionally would want to offend and

>
> "It saddens me that the media is often seeking to divide us, even around a

> the toxic climate in our culture right now, I shouldn't be surprised. We need
> Christmas more than ever."
>
> Bure added that as a "devoted Christian," she believes "every human being
> bears the image of God. Because of that, I am called to love all people, and I
> do. If you know me, you know that I am a person who loves fiercely and
> indiscriminately."
>
> In her statement, Bure didn't address anyone that criticized her by name but
> rather had a "simple message: I love you anyway."
>
> Bure continued: "To those who hate what I value and who are attacking me
> online: I love you. To those who have tried to assassinate my character: I
> love you. To everyone reading this, of any race, creed, sexuality, or
> political party, including those who have tried to bully me with name-calling,
> I love you."
I have a question for her critics on the Sexual Left: Are you guys going to
include more pro-Christian content in your projects, or nah? Will you make overt
references to Jesus as Christ and Lord or not?
If not, then shut the f*ck up about demanding that every other media in the
world feature men kissing.
Virtually every media in the world now does feature gay kissing -- at a minimum.
So yes, I think there's room for one channel that doesn't have gay people making
out or having sex every ten minutes.

LUXURY FASHION BRAND "BALENCIAGA" IS ALL-IN ON P3DO MARKETING

Why does the Sexual Left continually go to the exact same place?

It's not just the teddy bears in bondage gear. (Or the teddy bears with black
eyes.)
It's also that the photographer deliberately inserted pages from a Supreme Court
case, Ashcroft vs. Free Speech Coalition, in the background. That case is
about... child pornography.
Specifically, that case was a victory for child pornography. The case ruled that
"virtual child pornography," child porn that did not use actual children as
actors, could not be criminalized.
Detail from Balenciaga's "fashion" shoot, featuring child models
fondling teddy bears dressed in S&M fetish gear
Note that "virtual" pron (made using computer models, rather than actual
children) was banned on the theory that 1, it could encourage/promote actual
predation on children, or 2, could be used to seduce children into actual
p3dophilia.
The court ruled these theories were not strong enough premises for the banning
of speech.
And now Balenciaga uses photos to create "art" which can promote/encourage
actual predation on children, and can be used to seduce children into actual
p3dophilia.
Big win. I can see why Balenciaga wants to celebrate this case.
The Daily Caller reports they've pulled down their Instagram posts.

That's a creepy picture, too, dude, and you staged it and composed it so you
knew the picture you were setting up. You posed the girl to appear isolated and
vulnerable, small in the middle of a room photographed to look as large as
possible in relation to the small child, and you instructed her to look unhappy
and tense. You fully understood the emotional valence you were giving it. It
looks like a kidnapping proof of life picture, dude. But you knew that. You call
it "TOY STORIES;" I call it "STRANGER DANGER: A CASE HISTORY."
Update: From Elric Blade:
> This from the linked article: "On Twitter, where Balenciaga has just recently

Another Musk win. Did they delete their account in protest, or because Musk
began cracking down on child pr0n hashtags? He just banned the three hastags
most commonly used to signal/sell/trade CP material; wonder why the old regime
couldn't manage that trick.
The left continues screaming that if you dare notice their obsessive compulsion
to sexualize children, it's "stochastic terrorism" and you're trying to hurt
them.
Hey -- Remember "Punch a Nazi"? Remember "milkshaking"? Remember antifa?
Remember BLM?
Was that stochastic terrorism or nah?

Almost all of NeverTrump is. They attack him for their own vices. The thing they
despise in themselves, they attack in him.
They sit on Twitter all day "Owning the Cons" in low-brow, thuggish ways and
then attack Trump for using Twitter to "own the libs" in a low-brow style. Maybe
they tell themselves "This is a parody of Trump and his allies!," but they're
still all doing the exact same thing they claim is so degenerate and base.
At some point it stops being irony, and starts just being "I."

THE MORNING RANT: MINIMALIST EDITION
—CBD
This has been an ongoing topic for a few years, as high-profile states like
Texas and Florida push back against the overreach of the federal government. And
other states have taken their lead: restricting or ending the sexual mutilation
of children, strengthening voting laws to minimize fraud, pushing back against
"Woke" financial institutions, empowering local school boards and parents, etc.
It's a welcome trend, and one that would be embraced by the founders of America,
whose image of our country did not include an all-powerful federal government.
Is the battleground the states and not the federal government? We talked about
that in the last CJN Podcast, and "Joe Mannix" made a powerful case that the
federal leviathan is not where change will occur.
Strong-State Federalism Is The Best Path Forward Right Now For The GOP (And The
Country)

Except...notice that it failed in some big states...New York foremost among
them. Yes, the groundswell of support for a more sane political class was huge,
but it did not succeed in upending the status quo.
And that is the downside to this trend toward federalism. Sure, Texas and
Florida and Tennessee and Oklahoma and several other states will be bastions of
freedom and liberty and autonomy for their citizens. But the other side of that
coin is California and New York and Illinois and Washington and so on...states
that happily and maniacally embrace the insanity of progressive politics, social
mores, and cultural rot.
So for every state that sensibly makes illegal the psychotic and evil push
toward the sexual mutilation of children, or their murder in the womb, there
will be a state that welcomes it with open arms...

That's the challenge of Federalism, and it is problematic for a country to
evolve into such disparate states. Can America survive with a hodgepodge of sane
and lunatic states? Or is it the first step in the balkanization of the country
(which in reality has already begun), with the next step being a cold civil war
(if we are lucky) or a hot civil war (if we aren't)?

THE MORNING REPORT — 11/22/22
—J.J. SEFTON
Good morning, kids. Tuesday and I guess the theme for today is the preservation
of the narrative. Sure enough, in the wake of the mass shooting at a Colorado
nightclub that caters to the homosexual crowd, the militants who use
homosexuality as victimhood cover to help in the overthrow of our nation and
society have indeed come out from the woodwork to hurl the accusations and
attacks at us.

Interesting and rather an ironic twist that transexuals and pederasts are now
parading around in the skin-suit of mainstream homosexuality and demanding
respect. Whatever one feels about it, homosexuality as either a lifestyle or
sexual preference has more or less been tolerated to the point of being accepted
by average Americans. Just like blacks at the end of the 50s "leaving the
plantation," so to speak, the Left couldn't afford to lose an important "victim"
bloc and so begat the importation of millions of peasants from south of the
border to replace their ranks. Same thing here. I might add that homosexuals and
transsexuals, despite the propaganda represent a fraction of the population.
Yet, their lifestyle influences a disproportionate amount of young people who,
if not actively gay curious, are supportive of the group as victims being
oppressed by evil American society. Can't afford to lose a victimhood bloc, so
replace it with another. And when transsexualism becomes mainstream, the next
victims will be pedophiles. Lather, rinse, repeat.
But the common denominator here is Judeo-Christianity, western civilization and
America as founded as the existential threat and enemy that must be utterly
annihilated. As more and more of a militant anti-American attitude becomes
mainstreamed into government and the public discourse across all sectors of
society, wrong-think will be punished. The concept of "you will be made to care"
is well on its way to either being codified as law, or failing that adopted as a
standing principle for employers and businesses. Bitterly ironic that someone
like Jack Phillips has his life destroyed for the principle of refusing to serve
someone because it goes against his beliefs while the very same principle will
be used against you if you do not accept theirs. And yet, that is exactly what
is happening.

I like that. "Homophobic or transphobic areas." You mean, any place that voted
for Trump? Or any place that has a church or synagogue that preaches the
unadulterated, unambiguous word of God as written in The Bible? Or just any
place that refuses to allow men dressed in drag to have access to women's
restrooms?
We're no longer merely "defining deviancy down," as one of the few decent
Democrats and classic liberals Daniel Patrick Moynihan stated. We're defining
deviancy as normal and anyone who refuses to take the knee gets kneecapped.
It all boils down to probably the greatest bit of writing Ace ever published:
Our speech is violence. Their violence is speech.
Look at what they're doing to Trump — AGAIN. Now that the GOP is set to take
over the House and gain control of the J6 kangaroo court, look at what Merrick
Garland is doing. The GOP's fecklessness aside, Garland's reaction is telling.
It's literal obstruction of justice to prevent the revelations that what
happened at the Capitol on that day was perpetrated by agents and agents
provocateur of the FBI and Democrats.
If the illusion and blood-libeling of Trump as literally Hitler who attempted to
overthrow the government after Joe Biden's 82 million-vote landslide gets even a
tiny crack in it . . . Well, I'd say the Democrats would be wiped out but they
have ways of "fortifying" themselves, IYKWIMAITYD.

DAILY TECH NEWS 22 NOVEMBER 2022
—PIXY MISA
Top Story
* Why is the entire tech industry imploding at once? (The Atlantic)
Because you locked people into their homes while pumping trillions of dollars
into the economy, and then hiked interest rates to combat the inevitable
inflation, creating and then bursting a massive bubble.
You idiots.

Tech News
* With Twitter ushering in a new era of free speech - not just Trump, but
dozens of other prominent accounts having been reinstated - liberals are
vowing to stay and fight. (The Atlantic)
You have to ask, if they label themselves the "resistance", what exactly they
are resisting. They seem extremely upset that one tech company is now run by
a middle of the road vaguely libertarian guy who sees their histrionic antics
for what they are.
* Tumblr is adding support for ActivityPub so that it can be part of the
Fediverse. (Tech Crunch)
All this shit started when Tumblr banned porn. Before then, the crazies were
safely contained. Now, Elon Musk has had to spend $44 billion to stop them
burning civilisation to the ground.
* Samsung has stolen a lead over everyone else with 3nm chip production - but
only 20% of the chips actually work. (WCCFTech)
Early production on a new process often has high failure rates, but a 20%
yield is really bad.
* Is wine fake? Well, yes, but also no. (Asterisk)
The article provides some details about a study I'd read of previously, that
found that wine experts couldn't tell the difference between red and white
wine in a blind tasting. That's not quite true, as most things aren't.
* For example, Pfizer is not hiking the price of COVID vaccines by 400%. (Ars
Technica)
It's only 300%.
* Did Sam Bankman-Fried buy off the media? (Reason)
<shake shake>
Signs point to yes.
* Trust us, we totally have $10 billion worth of Bitcoin, says Grayscale.
(WCCFTech)
"Can we see it?"
"No."
They are currently trading at about half of their claimed value.
* Amazon Alexa is on track to earn $10 billion this year. (Ars Technica)
Except in the opposite direction. I'm not sure how they've managed it but
Amazon's Telescreen division is bleeding money eight times faster than
Twitter was.

An update on Bob Iger: I completely forgot that when Bob Chapek first resisted
calls to oppose Ron DeSantis' Parental Rights in Education Bill -- "Don't Say
Gay," as the leftwing propaganda trans-extremist media called it -- Bob Iger
decided to go on to CNN+ and trash him.

>
> "A lot of these issues are not necessarily political," Iger told CNN+ host

> wrong. It seemed potentially harmful to kids."
That is, of course, the doctrinaire leftwing position, and leftwing corporatist
media position: We're not taking a political position, because this isn't
political. It's just about right and wrong, and Republicans are just wrong.
We're not politically biased, because none of the 600 strong political positions
we're taking on-air are political positions at all, they're just ethical humane
positions of goodness. There is no opposing position worth crediting as a
"position" at all. The opposing position is not a political position; it's just
evil.
And that's how they claim they're not actually politically biased -- by
employing a definition of "political" that literally dehumanizes their
opponents.
I had also forgotten about this: Chapek was gearing up to lay off workers Disney
to return the company to profitability.
Critical Drinker speculates that the workers that were to be targeted would have
been like those targeted at Twitter and Facebook -- the leftwing DEI/Diversity
Fluff Nonsense workers.
And just like that, the leftwing Diversity-or-Die savoir Bob Iger comes storming
in to tell Disney, You can't do that!
I bet there won't be layoffs now.
Speaking of the cuts at Twitter, Lauren Chen posted these pics of Twitter,
before-and-after the layoffs:
Obviously this isn't a real before-and-after, just a ferinstance, but I bet a

This Media Matters drull spazzed out chain-tattle-taling that Elon Musk was seen
talking on Twitter to people not on the Approved List.
Many of the most sensitive souls have fled to a Twitter semi-clone called
Mastodon. Steven Miller checked in on the poor dears to see how they were doing
over there.
Legit Content Warning for this next item -- hardcore racism, Nazi promotion,
Holocaust denial, all of it.
Censorship fairies left Twitter looking for a place with more censorship. They
Censorship Utopia they arrived at is Mastodon.
But Mastodon isn't like Twitter. If I understand how this works, every Mastodon
user creates his own version of Mastodon -- basically, his own "twitter page,"
or "twitter instance," if you will, for you World of Warcraft players -- and
then everyone connects their "twitter pages" together to get an experience that
looks like Twitter's threaded conversations.
But the point is, a lot of the racist an Nazi-type users who were banned from
Twitter had decamped to Mastodon years ago and set up their own pages.
So when the Censorship-Loving Progressives who left Twitter because they thought
it had too much racism and allowed too much free speech made new pages on
Mastodon, they didn't know that Mastodon's default free speech code was "allow
everything," and therefore didn't know that they'd be greeted by n-bombs and
swastikas. Part 2 here. Remember, Legitimate Content Warning. Not Safe For Work.
Check it at home.
Jonathan Turley caught the AP lying on behalf of Biden -- claiming that there
was "no evidence" that Biden had ever spoken to Hunter about his business
dealings. Apart from, you know, all the evidence of Biden talking to Hunter
about his business dealings which the press refuses to report, because they come
from the emails in the laptop which the press until recently claimed, through
coordinated disinformation, was disinformation.

Without acknowledging its correction -- and without acknowledging there is
evidence Biden spoke to Hunter about his business dealings -- the AP deleted
that claim from its piece.
In its place, it inserted a new dubious claim -- that the investigation had
"nothing" to do with Joe Biden.
Speaking of Joe Biden and his dubious sources of unaccountably immense wealth --
Biden sprung $300,000 for his daughter's wedding this weekend, holding it on the

Keep watching another 40 seconds to see a transgender claim that The Patriarchy
is responsible for making the word monthly "period" synonymous with
"menstruation." He insists that everyone has "periods," and it can just mean
feeling low energy and having a headache or whatever, and only The Patriarchy
created this false period=menstruation equivalency to exclude transgenders and
enforce this insane fiction of a gender binary, and we're all living a lie and I

I'm sure most of you know this, but "equity" is the opposite of "equality."
Equity is the opposite of equal treatment. "Equity" expressly endorses treating
people differently in order to engineer equal outcomes by giving special
advantages to some and special disadvantages to others.
"Equity" is a euphemism for "racial discrimination" and "openly hostile
treatment of children of some (white, Asian) races."

EMILY BLUNT CALLS THE REIGN OF THE "STRONG FEMALE CHARACTER" THE "WORST THING
EVER;" NEW MOVIE RIPS WOKE SNOWFLAKES AS "ROBOTS" WHOSE "SOULS" ARE
"ARCHITECTED" BY SOCIAL MEDIA
—ACE
I think people started to get sick of endless wokery by 2020 -- but then St.
George Floyd was martyred and Hollywood and the Ruling Class forced the country
into reeducation camps again.
Maybe they're letting us out of The Camps again.
Emily Blunt is sick of "strong female characters" and calls the phenomenon the
"worst thing ever."

"Strong female character" used to mean strongly-written character. A woman so
depressed over losing her child so as to have become a vicious madwoman could be
a "strongly-written character," even though her psyche was broken and the
character is clearly not obviously "strong" in terms of capacity to withstand
any trauma. But such a character could be compelling and great material for an
actor looking for a challenge.
Now "strong female character" means "morally unassailable and physically
invulnerable." In other words: Boring pap.
But "boring pap" is what Doctrinaire Identity Politics demands. Political "Art"
is never actually art at all.

Catherine Herridge reports this very late-breaking news, and I think we can
assume she's been working to break this "news" since... September 2020. I
imagine that CBS "News" has put her through "Multiple levels of painstaking
editorial oversight and repeated rounds of intense, deeply-reported
fact-checking" just to make sure they got this right, and got it right... after
it could pose any harm to the Democrats in the elections of 2020 and then 2022.
They just wanted to make sure all the i's were dotted and t's were crossed, you
know?
Late last week, Tony Bobulinski told Fox News that proof that the "Big Guy" is
in fact Joe Biden was coming, and it wouldn't just be obvious implication this
time.

More at the link. The White House is pumping out the spin that Comer is a
"conspiracy theorist." So pay no attention to Hunter and Joe Biden's former
business partners or their voluminous authenticated email conversations and
contracts with Hunter, James, and Joe Biden.
Jonathan Turley writes -- wishcasts, really -- that Merrick Garland's corrupt,
impeachable decision to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Trump will
backfire on the Biden's, as the stench of corruption grows so great that not
even an in-the-bag propaganda media can ignore the fact that he refuses to
appoint one for Hunter and "The Big Guy." Remember, an AG is supposed to appoint
a special prosecutor when a case involves a principle in the White House or any
matter upon which his own judgement would be compromised, and Joe Biden being
"The Big Guy" in a Chinese payoff scheme would count. As would his corrupt drug
addict whoremonger bagman son soliciting bribes for Joe.
Merrick Garland cannot credibly make judgements on any of this, and so must, by
law, appoint a non-conflicted special prosecutor to take over these matters.
But he refuses to. Precisely because he is conflicted, and is determined to
protect his Democrat patrons.
But they'll pay no price for this -- because the Democrats, the legal
profession, and the media are all post-ethics. It's now pure Will to Power.
You know -- like fascists.
They had to become fascists to "beat the fascists," you see.

RESUFACED VIDEO SHOWS GIORGIA MELONI TAKING A BLOWTORCH TO EMMANUEL MACRON,
FRANCE
—ACE
The video isn't new, but has just started popping up on the internet again now.
> She may have done her best work in a recently unearthed, viral clip -- thought
> to be from 2019 -- where she absolutely eviscerated France's Emmanuel Marcon,
> who's previously taken jabs at Meloni. Watch the whole thing because it's an

> at this.
In the video, she attacks Macron (and France) for demanding that Europe accept
wave after wave of African immigrants (with Italy and Greece accepting the bulk
of the new arrivals), while France extracts wealth from fourteen former (?)
colonies in Africa via seigniorage, the production of money itself. France
produces something called the CFA Euro for 14 African countries, and takes a
vigorish for its service.
She claims this results in 50% of the mineral wealth of Africa winding up in
France, which sounds... well, it sounds a little exaggerated to me. (Update: A
commenter points out she's making this specific claim for Burkina Faso only, not
the other 13 African countries.)
I mean, I hear the same kind of thing claimed about "greedy corporations of the
West" stealing poor countries' oil, and it turns out... they mean the countries
have contracted with Western corporations to pump that oil, and of course that
isn't free. The corporations take their share.
But I don't know. Sometimes there is some corruption there, as the government of
the country making the deal makes a deal that benefits the royal family and its
cronies, but almost no one else.
Anyway.
Her point is that Europe wouldn't need to take immigrants from Africa if Europe
wasn't taking wealth from Africa.
Below, the clip with an English translation, and then with Italian subtitles.

GOOD NEWS: THE NEW YORK TIMES SAYS JOE BIDEN MIGHT BE A "SUPER-AGER,"
NIGH-IMMUNE TO THE EFFECTS OF AGING
—ACE
The "President" (Cite?) turned 80, and the New York Times-- which had repudiated
what it mocks as "both sides" journalism, now attempts to "both sides" Biden's
extreme physical frailty and obvious signs of serious mental decomposition by
claiming that maybe you're the one with cognitive derangement -- maybe Biden's
actually fit and healthy and nearly perfectly mentally sharp.
The "experts" the New York Times consulted agree that Biden has "a lot going for
him" to protect him against cognitive decline and dementia:
> But while the risk of life-threatening diseases, dementia and death rises
> faster with each passing decade of a person's life, experts in geriatrics say
> that people in their 80s who are active, engaged and have a sense of purpose

> important factors to consider.
>
> The New York Times spoke to 10 experts in aging to paint a picture of what the

In other words, he has a big pile of advantages that should reduce his risk
factor for dementia.
The one big red flag, doctors say, is that he clearly already has advanced
dementia.
Oddly, the New York Times' "experts" seem to miss that "little warning sign"
entirely.
The New York Times then declares that Biden is a "super-ager" -- and they
include Trump as "fitting the profile" of a "super-ager," so as, I guess, to get
some bipartisan buy-in to this proposition.
> Jay Olshansky, an epidemiologist at the University of Illinois Chicago, names

@JosephWulfsohn points out that the same paper ran a different Narrative six
months ago:
Why the sudden shift? Noah Blum has it exactly right:
> Noam Blum @neontaster
>
> No red wave so now we gotta start talking about how hale and healthy he is.
See, two weeks ago, the leftwing establishment was convinced the Democrats were
going to be blown out in the midterms, and this would, of course, be due largely
to Biden's historically poor performance in office.
Weeks ago, the Narrative was all about nudging -- or firmly shoving -- the
decrepit old man out of the 2024 race.
But the Democrats didn't get blown out, and now it seems that Biden will fight
very hard to remain the 2024 candidate, and that nudging him or even vigorously
throwing him down the stairs will not work to get him off the ticket.
Therefore, the new Narrative goes into operation -- to convince you that Biden
is perfectly healthy and that all of the prior reportage about Biden's
ill-health and visibly disintegrating mental acuity was just a Right-Wing Lie,
even if it came from... the New York Times itself.
See, "wisdom and experience are important factors to consider" as far as
predicting someone's cognitive health, whatever the f*** that means. All aged
persons are, definitionally, wise and well-experienced, and yet this does not
seem to protect most of them from inevitable cognitive decay. But "experts" say
we should "consider" wisdom and experience to be protective against dementia in
Biden's case only because Shut Up, Racist.
Also protective against dementia? Adrenochrome.

Huh: Bonus fact, Manfred Mann's "Blinded by the Light" is the only Bruce
Springsteen song to hit #1 in America (in February 1977), albeit without
Springsteen actually performing it. Springsteen's next best showing was "Dancing
in the Dark," which hit #2 in 1984. So Manfred Mann put a lot of money in
Springsteen's pocket. Maybe more than he had himself up till that point in music
sales. Okay probably not that much but a lot.
Misheard Lyrics Mystery Click: Bruce Springsteen Covers Editions
See, he's talking about revving up a two-stroke engine 1932 Ford Coupe hot rod,
not wrapping up a feminine hygiene product...
The original Bruce Springsteen song has a different misheard lyric here. It's
about about cutting loose, I think, a lowly 2 in a card game, as in poker.
Again, not disposing of a feminine hygiene product.
The weird thing is that these two different versions of the lyric have mutually
reinforcing misheard lyrics -- whether wrapping up a douche or cutting loose a
douche, it does sound like both songs sound like they're about getting rid of a
an especially clingy or incriminating douche. And so they cross-confirm this
interpretation!
Did they do that on purpose? Is that kind of weird in-joke? Probably not. BTW,
Manfred Mann covered this during the period where Springsteen was refusing to
put out any new music under his onerous and unfair contract, and so really
needed people to cover his old songs to give him some kind of living income. So
people were doing him favors by covering his songs. Manfred Man also covered
Springsteen's "For You," which I really like. They also covered "Spirit in the
Night." I thought it was weird that they were raiding this guy's back catalogue,
but they were trying to get him money through songwriting royalties.

Background: After FTX filed for Chapter 11 for protection, someone "hacked" into
its accounts and stole $600 million.
Now this account claims that the person responsible is the person we suspected:
Sam Bankman-Fried himself, stealing the last reserves of wealth remaining in FTX
to fund his fugitive lifestyle.

(Note that FTX is now being controlled by a bankruptcy manager whose goal is to
protect its assets until they can be properly divided among its creditors and
investors, so FTX is lodging motions against the thief who stole from it.)
If this accusation is true, then he's obviously hiding in the Bahamas, and he's
using his fortune to pay off Bahamas officials to provide him safe haven and
protect him from extradition.
