  1. Thank you. The grandfather of the alleged perp was the mayor of Santee, California, which, as you know, is affectionately known as Klantee in the San Diego area. Too late to edit the quote referring to him as Randy Aldrich.
  2. Heavy has confirmed that Aldrich is the grandson of outgoing Republican state Rep. Randy Aldrich, the former mayor of Santee, California. There were calls to expel Voepel from the state Assembly, after he made comments comparing the January 6 attacks to the Revolutionary War. Aldrich’s mother, Laura Voepel, has written posts praising Randy Voepel on Facebook and confirming he is her father. “This is Lexington and Concord. First shots fired against tyranny,” Randy Voepel, who was defeated in a Republican primary in August 2022, said in a San Diego Union-Tribune article three days after January 6. “Tyranny will follow in the aftermath of the Biden swear-in on January 20th.” According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, Voepel “later tweeted that he condemned violence and lawlessness.” the alleged perp is 3rd from the right. https://heavy.com/news/anderson-lee-aldrich/
  3. The shortage was expected (and widely reported) due to an outbreak of avian flu. Flocks were culled. In early November, the Ag Department Secretary, Tom Vilsack, stated there is no shortage, but finding bigger birds may be more difficult this year (because of the flock culling, there was less time to supersize the birds). I found a 22 lbs. bird with little difficulty at Publix here in the Piedmont region.
  4. The alleged perp is Anderson Lee Aldrich. He was arrested last year for threatening to blow up his mom with a bomb.

  6. Mr. Moldbug is the Moses of the actual alt-right. He and his coven are the right’s version of a Stalinist Tankie. Mr. Moldbug would consider you to be a pinko commie.
  7. Consider the possibility one’s definition of alt-right may be overbroad and, in fact, shitheads like Mencius Moldbug are in fact the alt-right that all free thinkers should abhor.
  8. Hoisting your petard . . . No kink shaming intended, of course . . .
  9. Understandable. Smith is/was part of the Special Prosecution Office at The Hague looking at war crimes in Kosovo. He will have two cases: the insurrection and misuse of government documents. I will be interested in the team he puts together. Merrick the Meek was probably not the best to lead the prosecution.
  10. Smith is a good pick, if there was a need for special counsel. He served at The Hague (and prosecuted treason-type conduct here).
  11. Some people just want to watch the world burn.
  12. DiFi is/was and will always be a shitlib. Progressives dislike her. Dummy trumpers call her a commie. Neolib/neocon third way prunes love her.
  13. P’blo used to be solid Dem (old steel city). It should still break against Bobo. (I hope, I hope, I hope).
  14. Possibly, although the term placeholder is loaded. Weber (74) and Lee (76) do not meet the youth turn that is occurring in the Democratic Party. Karen Bass (71) is part of that same group. All are fine politicians and their service needs to be celebrated for the trailblazing they performed and are performing. Newsom created a problem for himself when he promised Joy Reid the seat would pass to an African-American woman. Frankly, it would be easier for Newsom if Feinstein serves out her term, as you suggest. My guess is that Feinstein will serve out the term, with her staff continuing to serve California ably. It is not ideal, but preventing further fracturing of the fragile Democratic coalition should be the goal of all Dems in these perilous times.
