Money is like a refugee mother with children, and it will go to wherever it feels safe. Bonds. Gold. The U.S. "brand." Money no longer feels safe here.

Even with a democrat midterm victory, "House Republicans are now poised to claim that the midterm elections were stolen from them when they meet on January 3." This is Michael Luttig in the New Republic. If democracy falls, the world's trading currency will switch to the Euro.

So I was listening to a very liberal show on a pretty liberal station, and the very smart guest said he was pretty sure, but not certain, Covid was caused by a lab leak. And then my opinion started to change, and I realized if he had been on a right wing platform I'd have dismissed it...

It's almost like they planned it. At the very moment I'm about to run out of storage on google mail, drive, etc., they show themselves to be as one with the regime, changing programs to reflect the proclamation of a rapist. Very Stalin. I won't give them a dime. I'll spend hours to clean it up.

Don't eat ground beef nor your favorite fast food burgers. I don't normally care because I don't eat fast food if I can help it, but what the regime is doing is truly revolting. It's just shy of the soylent green dystopia, which was written in 1966 and set in 2022. He wasn't far off.

I remember John Oliver did a piece that must have been given to him by a Cassandra goddess. It was basically a segment about how people ALL OVER THE WORLD hate and blame immigrants for their problems.
Now it seems to be the dais that every government stands on. At its core, it's racism.

I always urge people not to share and not to spread, because these things are often used to scrape data and target you. But being a guardian to someone who is 90, has no family, and no longer understands most things that have to be charged, I can attest to the absolute truth of this.

Well as he's proven over and again, it's much easier to tear something down... and we will... and blast off all the gold and restore the rose garden and get a new board of directors for the Kennedy Center and throw away all the sharpies in the white house so our hurricane warnings are child proof.

Galliano "bows out" of the Met Gala. Maybe the staff at the Times is actually naive enough to believe this fluff. Alice Tisch told the board to axe him and they let Galliano withdraw instead of doing it themselves. And Brad Lander also spoke up, so good for our former mayoral candidate.

"anyone in the country illegally was a target for enforcement."
Such lazy reporting NY Times. In the paragraph above this lie from "a spokesman" were 3 examples of legal immigrants who were targeted anyway. Their own article said only 4% are "illegal."
Anyone in the country is now a target.

I often listen to this now. Part of Prokofiev's "war sonatas," that were written, some allege, to indict Stalin after he had been "invited" to write "Cheers," a/k/a "Hail to Stalin." First performed in 1943 and 83 years later, still evokes a sense of frightening chaos.

They're using Rhino Pipeliner 5000, which freezes as sprayed-on curds almost exactly as it hits the surface. Won't flow out, flatten, and self-level like standard epoxy or paint would.
