Traditional ACB Open Thread

Sound the bell for Round One. One hundred, that is - we've begun a new chapter in the Judicial Neverending War, Judicial Subdivision.

Janice Rogers Brown is the California Supreme Court Justice that I was thinking of this morning. It's such a shame that she never made it to the SCOTUS.

[cathyf]

(shoot, just posted this rant on the dead thread)

I saw yesterday that another judge ordered a six month (?) extension in the prohibition on Apartment Landlords who want to evict non paying tenants who lost their jobs due to Covid.

At the same time, there are all of those colleges which had outbreaks where their reaction was to evict the possibly-infected and possibly-infectious students from their dorm rooms and force them to disperse all over the country spreading any virus with them! (looking at you NC State!)

WTF is wrong with these people? WTF is wrong with the 90% of our fellow citizens who feel sorry for the students and sympathize with the administrators "forced" to send the students home?!? When this was NOT something that they were "forced" to do and was incredibly reckless and incredibly stupid and so obviously the WRONG thing to do!!!

The ONLY reason that forcing students to disperse widely didn't result in the exact same complete catastrophe as forcing nursing homes to take infected elderly people is that this is such a trivial infection for virtually all college-age students and most of their parents (who are 40- or 50-somethings.)

So we've got all of these college students sent home because of a hoax, and if it wasn't a hoax then it would have been a crime against humanity!

[MissMarple2]

MJW,

And this is the stuff that gets quoted to me, like I don't have any common sense.

[Jim Eagle]

MJW.

Science is always political. Why do you think every major science organization has offices in DC?

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

That's what just about every person and or doctor says if there are no tumors visible and markers are in the normal range.
It's perfectly understandable and sometimes it's true but there is usually a certain amulet quality to it.

She went into detail, explaining how her husband Jesse asks her every morning what he could do for her that day, as a preemptive strike on the submissive wife attack.

What are the odds that the WaPo/NYT co-join leftist proprogranda mill well ever publish that photo?

Zero hedge is really the worst for Covid sensationalism, at east for places that ought to know better.
New York Suffers Most New COVID-19 Cases Since June As US Outbreak Accelerates: Live Updates
New York has, literally, for every single day since June 5th [111 consecutive days] had an increase of new 'cases' of either .1% or .2% and for every single day since Aug 1st they have had an increase in deaths of .01-.04% per day.
Cluck bait.

[Captain Hate]

Too bad the Barrett family didn't just loot Haiti like the Clinton Crime Family instead of giving those children the gift of welcoming them into their family. Is that really the tactic the race baiters want to use?

[Another Bob]

Sorry to hear that MM. Prog politics needs to do that.

[MissMarple2]

None, Jack.

AF One has arrived!

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

They always want to concentrate on Ephesians 5:22;
Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.

But never Ephesians 5:21;
Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.

or
Ephesians 5:25;
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her

[Captain Hate]

Ruth Sanger Ginsburg would have prefered those Haitian children to have been murdered.

[MissMarple2]

Another Bob,

Thanks, I normally just live with it. However, I was spoken hatefully to tonight, and it really hurt me. I am hanging out here with people who haven't been brainwashed.

[Jim Eagle]

I have actually ben to Ephesus where Mary lived her aged life. Terrifc temple artifact structures. Worth the visit.

[MJW]

Science is always political. Why do you think every major science organization has offices in DC?

If the editorial had been published a year ago, I would have resented it, but it wouldn't have rankled me so. To publish such a thing on the first page of a scientific journal a month before an election is so nakedly partisan that, jaded as I've become, it still shocked me.

[Captain Hate]

I am hanging out here with people who haven't been brainwashed.

This is mainly the enemedia's fault. They continue to ignore polls that show how little respect they have here. Maybe China will continue to subsidize them but that's taking a huge leap in more ways than one.

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

Sorry MM.
The most destructive and pernicious concept from the progs is "the personal is political".
That is what moves politics from the realm of differing opinions to the realm of your opinion cannot be tolerated and must be shouted down or stamped out, even among families and friends.

The Power of a Growing International F-35 Community

"The United States is rapidly building an international community based around the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. The military value of such a community is indisputable. The F-35 will be one of the pillars supporting the creation of a new, sensor-rich way of warfare."

"Control over access to software and particular electronic systems can vary the amount and quality of information the aircraft can take in and process as well as the types of weapons it can operate."

It's not just another plane in the usual evolution. It's also a flying computer network system with sensors and access to input from sensors from other assets.

[MissMarple2]

First I have heard that, about Obama:

"Lock him up, lock him up!"

[henry]

jim_nj, connected F35s... swarm intelligence. Remember a tank joined the network with F35s to take out a cruise missile with its main gun? All in, all services swarm, plus allies.. Like space, a new dimension to warfare.

MM,

Does your daughter think Biden has dementia? My mother laughed herself silly when I asked her that. Apparently The NY Times hasn’t gone there

[MJW]

I think those who suggest a vote with no hearings are missing the big picture. It seems to me that the senate democrats are over a barrel: they've got to attack Barrett to satisfy their base no matter how bad it makes them look to the general public.

[Jane]

MJW,

I think Barrett will kill it in the hearings. The combination of her demeanor and intellect is btreattaking.

[Captain Hate]

Sláinte. No BREAKING NEWS for Dave tonight.

[Jim Eagle]

Imagine attacking a mother of 7, 2 of whom are adopted Haitian kids and one who has Down syndrome. Do they really want to go there on national TV?

Yes, they do because this the new suicide pact the Dems have all agreed to.

I'm not an expert on NJ, so I won't comment but I saw this online--

"NJ goes further insane, further adding expense and hassle to what little remains of food services business."

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/nj-state-legislature-passes-ban-paper-bags-foam-food-containers-and-plastic-straws

A further comment:
'side note: “EPA Regional Administrator Judith Enck called the bill “the single most comprehensive plastics and paper reduction bill in the nation.”” — If that isn’t out of context and was said in the context that Judith thinks this was smart…. why does she still have a job in this administration?'

I assume the answer to that one is 'Civil Service job, can't fire'

[MissMarple2]

Jane,

No. She said Trump does! I hope that they hae the debate so she can see him. She has 2 aunts, a good friend she used to babysit for, and me, yet she is convinced Trump is lying.

It's very wearing.

[peter]

Jane, just tell your mom that Election Day is November 9, 2020 this year

Does the youngest son have Downs? That should get the harpies in Exorcism master race mode.

CH, at 8:18, I know that you are not an IPA guy, but I had some of this: https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/40488/340503/

tonight from a local micro-brewer here on Long Island, and it really is scrumptious. Long Island was behind the curve with craft beer, but is now coming on super-strong.

Bay Shore, Long Island, is a funky town on the south shore where you can catch a ferry to Fire Island. It was down at the heels for years, but lately has become a scene with several nice bars

Season ticket holders at Alabama were offered a four-game package, Jack. One away game was included. The demand was underwhelming, but the age demographic of donors skews mature, so not surprising.

Ig: "I still regret Janice Rogers Brown never got to serve on SCOTUS but a succession of inferiors were appointed instead by Rep presidents."

Me too.
I wish they could make her a Justice for a month or something then let her resign and go back into retirement for a younger person.
Just to get it on her bio. And show the world the respect she earned.

[President-Elect Jim,SunnyvaleCA]

Michael Yon said there could be a clash between Proud Boys and Portland Antifa today.
He plans to cover it.

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

--That's fixable if it hasn't gotten to the lymph nodes.--

I believe that is backwards. The lymphatic system along with the circulatory system functions as the primary route of metastasis. Cancers are still often curable if the nearest lymph nodes are positive but ones further along are negative for cancer cells. Those are typically staged as Stage 2 or 3 though primary tumor size and other factors enter into it and they are not automatically assumed to be metastatic.
If however a tumor is formed in a distant or separate organ from the one where the cancer originated that is by definition metastatic or Stage 4 cancer. And ordinarily it is not considered curable though some people can live for many years with some Stage 4 cancers.

I am going to spend the winter looking for a suitable place, and try and move in the spring.

I am going to take that long because my daughter will need time to adjust. She has two small dogs and 2 cats.

Thanks.

Practically I have to join various professional societies -- it simply is expected for winning government grants -- and AAAS is one.

It is an interesting choice for you. The news can be interesting, but I'd think the research articles are less so. I find the preponderance of them to be totally incomprehensible.

[Captain Hate]

I don't subscribe; I merely read it at my local library.

*fistbump*

Magazines are the new buggy whips. When whatever pampered fuzznuts was criticizing the Barrett family for adopting two Haitian children, I looked at his credentials and his undergrad dual major was African American Studies and Magazine Production. Take a bow, Florida A&M, for taking money to put out such obvious uselessness.

[MJW]

It is an interesting choice for you. The news can be interesting, but I'd think the research articles are less so. I find the preponderance of them to be totally incomprehensible.

"Read it at the local library" is probably an overstatement. I mostly just read the news items, and an occasional abstract. I could probably count on one hands the number of research articles I've read completely.

[jim nj]

They are no longer thinking of applying sanctions sanctions against SMIC. They have applied them.

That's not as bad as being black-listed though.

[MissMarple2]

When you get nervous or frustrated that things aren't happening fast enough, keep in mind this old quote from President Trump, written probably at least ten years ago:

The element of surprise wins battles,so I don't tell the other side what I'm doing. I don't warn them, and I don't let them fit me comfortably into a predictable pattern. I don't want people to know exactly what I'm doing-or thinking.

I like being unpredictable.

They randomly tested 28,000 dialysis patients. Here's the underlying study.

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)32009-2/fulltext

I'm not impressed for several reasons, but the summary kind of hints at some of my concerns: "Many patients receiving dialysis in the USA share the socioeconomic characteristics of underserved communities, and undergo routine monthly laboratory testing, facilitating a practical, unbiased, and repeatable assessment of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) seroprevalence."
