Shooting It Out In The Streets

Here's a study that may be of interest:

https://www.aier.org/article/lockdowns-and-mask-mandates-do-not-lead-to-reduced-covid-transmission-rates-or-deaths-new-study-suggests/

To be honest, while I haven't read it carefully, I am skeptical, though these guys are top tier economists. My take is that lockdowns at least have a temporary effect, but no cumulative effect. They can delay and flatten the curve, but ultimately the virus is going to spread until there's herd immunity. And, as I like to say (to paraphrase a quote attributed to Keynes), the virus can be viral longer than we can remain solvent.

The Dems' goal is to keep down the recovery and have flatten the curve so it goes beyond November 4th. Two birds with one stone.

In nonpolitical news, MrsJ and I harvested, crushed, and destemmed our grapes this morning. The small, hand-cranked crusher/destemmer we bought recently worked really well!

The crop looks great! Huge clusters, and the fruit tastes superb. Our favorite vine, Jerry Garcia, gave 24 clusters by himself. He is so named, because he was the 13th of the original vines, and was not trellised to start with. He just kept on truckin' along, and is our most productive vine.

I've not done the testing yet, which you are supposed to do prior to harvest, but the bird indicator was positive (they eat only when the grapes are ripe). I'll spend the afternoon with the testing. I have a chemistry lab, and I may as well do something useful with it!

Necessary adjustments then will be made (pH, sugar, sterilizer, and so forth).

It is hard to tell how much finished wine we'll get out of this, but I'd guess about 20 bottles. I'm also correcting some processing issues I've had since the beginning, and hope to reverse my adage that "it is easy to make wine. It is hard to make good wine."

The harvest shows that we are getting older. I am very sore from cleaning and sterilizing all the vessels yesterday, and operating the crusher today. MrsJ nearly passed out and had to eat.

All in all, though, it was successful. There's no smoke flavor, and the fruit looks good. That's all I ask for at this point.

Yeast is added tomorrow.

How about that, dr. J.

It doesnt appear to be described as such

Donald Trump just got the biggest betting odds convention bounce in history, and the convention just ended last night.

That follows the net 0 polling bounce for Joe Biden, which is the weakest for a Democratic convention since 1972.

I'm starting to get a whiff of 1988.

[Captain Hate]

Extreme left wing Biden supporter?

[jimmyk]

I'm starting to get a whiff of 1988.

You mean 1984? I think it's going that way, but the Democrats will stop at nothing to lie, cheat, and steal their way to power.

Portland’s mayor and Oregon’s governor have been deplorable in the ongoing crisis gripping the city. The chaos continues nightly. If they can’t control their streets and keep their citizens safe from agitators and anarchists, then call in the National Guard. This has to stop now.

1972!

[MissMarple2]

jimmyk,

Not my prediction, but his. In my opinion, 1984 seems more likely, so we will see.

I know of no other candidate who ever has had the number of fan clubs, people who have started web sites, theme songs, art work, clothing, podcasts, etc. It's amazing to me.

People truly love him. They are loyal and tuned-in, too. They know how much those rallies were helping and that is why they started the boat parades.

Anything they can do to help, they will.

As you probably already know DrJ, it's easier to make good wine in larger quantities.

Back in the day a friend and I would make 200-400 gallons a year. But I presume your interest is in your own grapes...

Good afternoon! This is weird...for the THIRD time this summer, a census worker has showed up at the cabin. Hubby was outside with the dog when today's person showed up and hubby told him you are the THIRD census worker this summer, WTH?! I filled out the census while we were still in Florida,our LEGAL address. Hubby told him we're seasonal residents in Maine. He told hubby he's working on *hard to solve* cases. Really? Wasting time driving on a dirt road in the woods?! Maybe the guy thinks we're in witness protection. :)

As NYC Mayor, I didn’t blame crime on Clinton. If I did, the NYT would have said I was a failed leader.

Well Mayor Wheeler is a fatally failed leader.

[Buford Gooch]

Marlene,
I've taken a part time job as a census enumerator. It has been interesting and illuminating. Are you familiar with the term "goat rodeo"?

[matt - deplore me if you must]

I think the backlash against the Left is building. The Kenosha shooting was after a known felon resisted arrest. Tough shit, known felon. You resist arrest 3 ways from Sunday and you get your ass shot. A lot of regular Kenosha citizens were hurt in the melees. Not much sympathy for Antifa in most of Wisconsin, I would imagine. Good luck in getting a conviction of the 17 year old.

The Timesosphere is still in denial. "No, there's no violence. Antifa is a figment of the imagination". This is going to blow up in their faces.

The images of the communists harassing diners are going to have a major impact. Screaming white women 12" from a person's face does not play well with most of the country

Professional sports has just entered their kamikaze phase. Their credibility is nil.

There is a major phase shift going on in America and they don't understand it because in their latte besotted bubble they just don't get it.

One thing we do know is exactly who the enemy are.

[Rocco]

How long do we let a bully beat us up?

[James D.]

From Biden’s (or whoever actually wrote it)’s statement:

He may believe tweeting about law and order makes him strong – but his failure to call on his supporters to stop seeking conflict shows just how weak he is.

It’s not the President’s supporters who are seeking conflicts. They’re not the ones calling for all cops to be shot. They’re not the ones forming mobs and accosting decent people in restaurants and on the street and even in their homes. They’re not the ones looting and burning cities. They’re not the ones threatening elected officials - even progressive Democrst elected officials - with vile threats and physical violence.

That’s the left, 100%.

[lyle]

but his failure to call on his supporters to stop seeking conflict shows just how weak he is.

Gaslight of all gaslighting.

Buford, I feel bad for the guy, he's chasing down people on dirt roads who have seasonal homes on the river,

I am extremely sorry this happened but we should not take the bait.

Clean up the mess vigorously and if necessary violently after the election. It sounds like there are some DOJ elements that are tracking these clowns. Post election, my feeling is they will try to slink away back to wherever they came from. Rounding them up in onesies and fivesies and quietly breaking them into giving up the whole organization is the way to go.

This is ALL about the election.

Until then, shoot straight, know the law, and keep your lawyer on speed dial.

Ted Wheeler, the wacky Radical Left Do Nothing Democrat Mayor of Portland, who has watched great death and destruction of his City during his tenure, thinks this lawless situation should go on forever. Wrong! Portland will never recover with a fool for a Mayor....

....He tried mixing with the Agitators and Anarchists and they mocked him. He would like to blame me and the Federal Government for going in, but he hasn’t seen anything yet. We have only been there with a small group to defend our U.S. Courthouse, because he couldn’t do it....

..The people of Portland, like all other cities & parts of our great Country, want Law & Order. The Radical Left Democrat Mayors, like the dummy running Portland, or the guy right now in his basement unwilling to lead or even speak out against crime, will never be able to do it!

I was in western Kenosha County the past two days. I have location services off, but my phone still got the Kenosha “7 pm curfew in effect” and “ shut off all gas pumps” warnings on my phone.

Saw lots of Illinois license plates, lots of cops, and zero Biden signs.

For those interested, we (census enumerators) weren't trained until July for a census based on April 1st. Then, we didn't go into the field for a few more weeks. Finally, everything was "You have to get it done right now! We have to turn everything in to Washington of Friday!" So we hurried, and often found that the location had filled out the info online, or another census person had been there. We also got help from the Chicago region late in the game. They seemed to be more hindrance than help.
We are paid by the hour (and not a lot, but I'm retired and did it mostly to avoid boredom), but we also are paid the government rate of $.58 per mile. I drive an older car, which was paid off long ago, and it costs me about $.07 per mile for gas, and nearly nothing for oil, repairs, etc. I think I make nearly as much in mileage as in salary. This past week, we had 20 people on a conference call. Each of us reported on our progress over the week. We were paid for the time on the call. Each person took just a few minutes, but we each got paid for a couple of hours for being on the call, just listening to stuff that didn't concern us. We could have each called in separately, or they could have called each of us, and saved the government almost 40 hours of pay overall.
We aren't done yet. I was doing group quarters (as opposed to knocking on doors), and will be doing transitory locations this week. It looks like another goat roping.
I'm not complaining about the work. It's interesting. It's just the standard bureaucratic mess that gets to me. There are some very good and very sharp who are working for the census bureau, but there are also a lot of pretty much useless drones. As I said, normal for government work.

[hrtshpdbox]

If the peaceful rioters are becoming a negative for the Dems, they can just sit back and wait for the public to read that Trump's cousin says his sister doesn't admire him very much. Last Sunday, Chris Wallace led with this compelling topic when interviewing Mark Meadows, so you know it's big! Bigger than Omarosa's book, or Michael Woolf's! It's 11th on the Amazon best-seller list, which currently boasts 4 children's books in its Top Ten....they've got Trump now!

Oh no! The Dems don’t want Trump to visit Kenosha!

[BeastsEngland]

I got a census visit at the lake, and she was kind of a babe, too. I was just off the boat and wasn’t in the mood to mess with it, so she gave me the card with the numbers and said if I didn’t fill it out online then she’d be back.

And I hope y’all know how difficult it was for me - especially since ‘off the boat’ is synonymous with well-lubricated - not to tell her that I’d be nekkid and ready, but I behaved...

Anyhoo, I didn’t fill it online, of course, and I missed her second visit. She left behind another form in the door but I didn’t read either, of course.

i have to agree on this rocco. the trump supporters had every right to have a rally and had every right not to be pestered by fascists.

although, i'm thinking 'not accepting the results' is baked into the cake at this point. maryland is going to have an amazing 100% response rate and go for (player to be named later) by 25 points. places in pa and mi are going to have 100%+ turnout.

[Porchlight]

Wow, Evers sounds desperate.

A situation so perfectly Trumpian that it could have been created just for him.

But I hope Trump supporters in the area stay home when he visits. The last thing we need is MSM replaying videos of Trump folks clashing with BLM/Antifa.

[Porchlight]

the trump supporters had every right to have a rally and had every right not to be pestered by fascists.

Absolutely. But they are trying to bait us into a violent response which they would then use to crush us. Communist takeover 101. It's not fair and it's not right, but I still don't want to hand them any ammunition two months from the election.
