Clash Of Titans

Brady v. Belichick! And by the time their Sunday night game begins MLB should have settled the AL wild card races and the NL West title.

Either the Padres or the Brewers are going to do the right thing--and see that the Giants take the NL West. A Padre loss or a Brewers win will get the job done.

I'm a life time Padres fan--and it will be too delicious if the Pads take a dive and take the NL West title away from the Dodgers.

Wake me if the Cardinals get to the World Series. The rest is a yawner.

I don't really have a dog in this hunt, other than wishing somehow the Yankees and Red Sox could eliminate each other, but it's pretty unusual (maybe unprecedented) to have two teams in the same division with 105+ wins. And I have to admire the Cards for their amazing stretch run.

[matt - deplore me if you must]

Wash yer mouth out with soap, Comanche! I'm a 3rd generation Dodgers fan, but not so much anymore, so maybe just a little soap. The Gints are the Evil Empire. Would prefer the Padres over the Gints.

South Pole just recorded its coldest winter since record keeping begin in 1957. Sea ice is the 5th highest ever.

[Jim Eagle]

As a kid living on an Air Base in Plattsburg, NY, my Dad heard Johnny Podres was coming back to his birth home in Witherbee, NY just south of us. So, we drove down to meet him. He actually, held his little hometown celebration in Lake Placid but close enough.

Then a year later I got to meet Dolph Shayes since the Syracuse Nationals used our base's gymnasium to do pre-season training.

Two classic encounters with two classic pro's.

Exactly as the newly revised global warming climate change models predict, now that they've been recalibrated to "predict" this new fact.

How it started: "And so it is with the people of Germany. They may respond for awhile to civilizing forces; they may seemingly adopt the superficial mannerisms and exterior behaviorisms of civilized peoples but all the while there remains ever present Within them that War‐soul which eventually drives them, as it does the tiger, to kill. And no amount of conditioning, or reasoning, or civilizing-past, present or future‐will ever be able to change this basic nature. For if no
impress has been made upon this war-soul over a period of some two thousand years is it to be
expected that of a sudden, on the morrow, this miracle will occur?"—Theodore N. Kaufman, 'Germany Must Perish'

How its going: "The goal of abolishing the white race is on its face so desirable that some may find it hard to believe that it could incur any opposition other than from committed white supremacists ... Keep bashing the dead white males, and the live ones, and the females, too, until the social construct known as the white race is destroyed. Not deconstructed, but destroyed.' — Noel Ignatiev

“You're [White people] on the endangered list. And unlike, say, the bald eagle or some exotic species of muskrat, you are not worth saving. In forty years or so, maybe fewer, there won't be any more white people around..”—Tim Wise

Davod, don’t forget turkey, geese, squirrel, rabbit, snapping turtle. I even have recipes for raccoon and groundhog. Then there are fish (I have a pond with them in it). Just to mention what I see every day. Granted, the socialists will try to force the ridiculous fake meats on us.

[Catsmeat]

Thanks, henry, re MM. What sort of fish are in that thar pond? (do you stock it?). One of the weirdest sights I ever saw was when we were taking the kids out to the Sandhills for stargazing and rafting. After stopping to see all those fossilized rhinos and their ilk at the Ashfall Fossil Museum, we went to one of the state fisheries. The baby trout were in various very large basins, in terrifying numbers and density. Nightmarish, really, but they all end up of course being trucked to various state lakes. As a suburban person, this was all a revelation...

[Davod]

Included in Lies about Columbus:

"...So, in the end, why blacken the memory of a great man? What purpose could it possibly serve? I will quote two writers who lived behind the Iron Curtain. Alexander Solzhenitsyn said that, “To destroy a people, you must first sever their roots.” Milan Kundera, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting: “The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have somebody write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long that nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was. The world around it will forget even faster...”

[Davod]

Catsmeat. There is a large trout breeding and stocking, business in Tasmania.

[Catsmeat]

Cool, Davod--I looked it up and there are in fact five Nebraska fisheries--the one we toured was one of the smaller enterprises. I don't know where I thought trout came from, but surely not these industrial-size shallow vats...

Does this read like science fiction:

If you aren't vaccinated, you cannot work, and your children cannot learn at school. You cannot shop, nor eat out. Those vaccinated need to re-vaccinate every year.

The vaccinated will get sick if they do not get a booster shot every year.

@JordanSchachtel
Pfizer has now hired 22 separate lobbying firms, all in Washington, DC, to craft drug policy in the United States.

Yes, that's the accurate #. TWENTY TWO lobbying firms.

Tons of top Congressional staffers & fmr WH officials have been recruited to push Pfizer's agenda in DC.

Recall that Pfizer continues to up price of their shots. Profit margins were said to exceed 80% on the $19 a shot price point, bringing in tens of billions in profit this year. Biden WH now paying > $24 a shot. # keeps going up due to lobbying. Taxpayer getting taken for a ride.

[Sammy Small]

Amom, I decided to participate in a local study to measure the two types of Covid antibodies over a 6 month period. First test, 0 natural and only 500 vaccine level for Pfizer (some people are apparently up into the thousands). The next measurement is a few weeks away. I expect it to continue to go lower over time.

[Melinda]

https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2021-09-24/what-happened-to-evergrande-and-china-s-real-estate-market

going to be paywalled, but the continued "professional disinterest" by MFM sez alot about the CCP's influence purchasing program. You get a whole lot of "Don't say bad things about China's problems. They'll lose "Face" over it."

[jimmyk]

I got the J&J in March, and less than 6 months later my doc told me I no longer had antibodies (if I ever did). He urged me to get another jab, but I’ve ignored his advice. I just continue with Vitamin D, zinc, Quercetin, etc.

[henry]

lets see, toxic vax that doesnt last long... kind of like playing russian roulette.

[Len]

I usually get a flu shot every year. My distrust is so engaged that I won't get one this year. Who knows what's in it?

[Davod]

JimmyK. I got the J&J. Is there a test for antibodies?

I take Quercetin with zinc.

[anonamom]

Let's see, possibly toxic vax, doesn't last long, doesn't stop transmission or infection too well, company totally indemnified, hospital reimbursement from Medicare tied to mandated staff compliance---
remind me, what country do I live in?????

As they counsel one to ask--cui bono?

The 22 lobbying firms helps me answer that question. (as does having three neurons that still connect.)

[Davod]

If you want to read a critique of Scheller's earlier comments about Trump, look no further than Ace.mu.nu .

It is long, but this part is interesting:

"...Lt. Col. Scheller, are you that lacking in self-awareness to not see that the reason you are in the position you are in right now - the freaking brig! - is because the people who Trump tried to neutralize and remove from power, the ones who fucked up Afghanistan and put you and your comrades in high-heels while training to fight global warming and "white supremacists" instead of filthy communists and Islamikazes are the same ones that are your gaolers?! Trump for sure has his flaws, as does every human who has ever lived. But the last thing you can accuse him of is lacking in honesty, accountability and integrity. If he did indeed lacked all of those, none of the corruption you praise him for exposing would have ever come to light in the first place..."

"Young Drinkers Are Pissed Their Fake IDs Don’t Match Their Real Vaccine Cards

These are tough times for underage drinkers seeking to drink illegally: the birthdays listed on vaccine cards, which are required to enter some bars, do not match their fake IDs."

[Davod]

A joke that could be torn from Ace's cooking comments:

"When I woke up this morning, my girlfriend was cooking breakfast in nothing than a T-shirt... ...when I came downstairs, she told me she needed me to have sex with her right away...
Needless to say I was thrilled, so we did it right there in the kitchen.

...she immediately went back to cooking... we didn't usually do stuff like that, so I hesitantly asked, "so...what was that all about?"

She said, "I had 5 minutes left on the casserole, but the timer broke."
