  1. This is a pretty good narrative of what went on inside the White House. Atlas is a Stanford professor, and his arguments are evidence based, not based on emotion or some idiotic manichean understanding of the world.
  2. Fauci is responsible for more deaths outside of the folks who actually leaked the virus. He is a narcissistic demon who if there is any justice will burn in hell. More broadly, he and the public health establishment writ large lied about everything. They lied about masks. They lied about Ivermectin. They lied when they said the vaccine would prevent infection. They lied in order to close schools. (We had good evidence it was not necessary.) They lied about the 6ft distancing. (No evidence) They lied about taking millions from Big Pharma. (260 NIAID scientists took $690 million in royalties from Big Pharma between 2021 and 2023. That's more than $3 million per scientist.) They lied about the origin of the virus. They signed a letter saying if you protested for BLM you would be safe, but if you gathered for MAGA you would transmit the virus. They lied about natural immunity. They lied about vaccine side effects. They lied to make kids take a vaccine for a virus to which they were immune. You cannot just lie about every fucking thing you say, then turn around and say "trust us". There is documented evidence of the huge harm caused by their "advice", especially to kids. But the most damage they did was to convince people not to take the vaccine because they could not be trusted but rather are inveterate liars dispossessed of any conscience whatsoever. If there is another pandemic, there will be mass refusals to take any vaccine, despite any evidence. There is no trust, and their shouldn't be. I am vaccinated, and obviously very pro vaccine, because I read the studies. But science requires the confidence of the public, and the public health establishment could not have done a worse job.
  3. OK maybe Hamas isn't really that bad.......
  4. Yet another of an endless series of victimless felonies. The impeachment failed. The second impeachment failed. The Russia Hoax failed. Do you think legal warfare will succeed at destroying him? I am undecided.
  5. "So I just hate the patriarchy, so oppressive. What's that, you're a feminist too? So am I! That's just amazing, we should totally hang out!"
  6. You are very actively pro-Hamas. Thier entire strategy is to defeat Israel by generating international pressure to make Israel stop fighting. They do this by killing as much of their own population as they can, blaming it on Israel. It is their dead baby strategy, it has always been their strategy. This is not new news. You have to willfully ignorant to ignore reality. So whether you are supporting them intentionally or not, you and your ilk are absolutely doing the bidding of terrorists. I mean, imagine that Hamas says "we are engaged in war crimes", you see the war crimes, and then you insist that it's Israel should be brought to justice LOL. 0
  7. I can't answer the question. I just know that I use the AmEx platinum and don't worry about it. I've given back several cars with dents. I think I had one at Frankfurt and I just walked away like LOL don't care. But that's not the story I wanted to tell. I was driving in England and Scotland for a couple weeks. Went to the Macallan distillery. Ran into a guy from, I think, San Marcos, so we start chatting. I finally get around to the big question. "So, did you wreck the car yet?". He said he dented it a bit. I survived without damage but it was blind luck. The point is, those fucking roads are insane, and I think I've driven in all the most insane places, at least in Europe. The drivers aren't insane, just the roads. The hedgerows will be brushing against the side mirror more than once while passing. Scotland is so damn beautiful. If I go back I need to hit Islay for the distilleries there, I freaking love peated whiskey.
  8. I just wanted to applaud the use of the word anodyne. I also would have accepted quotidian.
  9. 3.4 percent today. Yes, they will go to zirp and abandon the 2% target because high rates don't impact fiscal irresponsibility.
  10. They call themselves the Challenger 17 squadron. Was the Bonfire 99 name already taken? Were Chernobyl and Hindenberg also under consideration? Why do none of those cocksuckers have the correct belt?
  11. It will be dark, and I will be on my couch.
  12. During fiscal year 2023, the US government borrowed $2.7 trillion. This was about ten percent of GDP. (It is worth noting this is not the reported deficit. Some of you sadly still believe the lies.) This year will see an acceleration, resulting from a number of things but notably a significant steepening of the first derivative of interest expense. When we hit a recession, let's say we see deficits north of $4 trillion, but probably higher or about 20% of gdp. We will hit your 250% number pretty quickly at that rate. The federal government borrowed 43 cents of every dollar it spent LAST YEAR. That will only go up moving forward. If the federal government starts to cut trillions on its spending (it has to), it will induce a recession from which we will require decades to recover. At some point, these facts will receive mainstream attention and it will be like Enron. Everybody LOVED Enron, until they didn't. I don't think "collapse" is the scenario, nobody wants that, and the plunge protection team will prevent it. However, all that money we borrowed (accelerating future spending into the present) has to be paid, and the public will pay it through massive and unrelenting (but "transitory" LOL) inflation and lower standards of living. I think an "accident" is more likely than collapse. Banks going down one after another. Major companies going bankrupt. Major government programs getting eliminated. I mean, how do you think we get to balance when we need to cut half of federal spending? Devaluation of the currency. Finance becomes musical chairs. After the supply chain problems resolved, we did not see a reversion to lower prices. Most likely that was due to the massive increase in money supply, and that supply is only getting blown up even more at an accelerating rate. We are now in the steep part of the exponential interest expense, the one that human minds don't readily comprehend. I've never made a prediction of when, but I will now. It will start within five years. Gird your fucking loins, because we haven't seen anything like this before. Take the existing social chaos and multiply it by massive unemployment and rampant stagflation and let's see what we get. We fucked around, now we will find out.
  13. I am thinking I might place a big bet against them vs. Notre Dame.
  14. Approximately $16 billion is actually going to the Ukranians. Most of it is DIB spending. It's a normal bill, loaded up with pork. House Approves Long-Stalled Ukraine Aid Over Angry GOP Objections - WSJ
  15. Season GP Passing Rushing Cmp Att Pct Yds TD Int QBR Att Yds Avg TD 2020 10 194 322 60 2566 26 5 150.7 113 377 3.3 8 Passer rating his senior year was 150. Michael Penix's rating this year was 157. Quinn was 159. He was pure ass as a freshman. He threw a completely fucked up INT to cost us a game late in the year. CTJ took to calling him I Am Sam and other nicknames. We argued a lot about whether he would be good, I said he would be. After the Gilbert/Case/Tyrone era, he was our first decent QB in maybe a decade and it was glorious.
  16. The very definition of a Palestinian is refugee status. That is the sine qua non of their being. It is pretty normal to resettle refugees.
  17. Jesus dude how old are you?
