If You Can Keep Your Head...

Thomas Edsall does NOT title his latest essay "What's The Matter With The Democrats?". He prefers an air horn:

Democrats Shouldn’t Panic. They Should Go Into Shock.

No surprises here - 2022 looks like a Red Storm Rising / Blue Wave Goodbye election. Both history and current events are against the Dems:

The rise of inflation, supply chain shortages, a surge in illegal border crossings, the persistence of Covid, mayhem in Afghanistan and the uproar over “critical race theory” — all of these developments, individually and collectively, have taken their toll on President Biden and Democratic candidates, so much so that Democrats are now the underdogs going into 2022 and possibly 2024.

But a year is a long time and there is still a lot of football to be played. And then basketball, and then a World Series.

Just think--the people of Kenosha elected the mayor who allowed the riots, the bumbling prosecutors and the judge. Of course, this is also a place known for crooked elections.

[Davod]

MM2. I hope they find out what is wrong with you. Did I read correctly, that you are now staying with your son?

[Narciso]

yes it's passing strange, they can't pin this down,

[MissMarple2]

Davod,

Yes. His office is just a few minutes from here.

According to testimony, court documents and video, Joshua Ziminski fired a handgun into the air from about 100 feet away (and thus well within earshot) from where Joseph Rosenbaum was running at Rittenhouse.

Then sicced the mob on Kyle. His wife took video and helped.

Scientists mystified, wary, as Africa avoids COVID disaster

When the coronavirus first emerged last year, health officials feared the pandemic would sweep across Africa, killing millions. Although it’s still unclear what COVID-19’s ultimate toll will be, that catastrophic scenario has yet to materialize in Zimbabwe or much of the continent.

Ron De Santis is worth listening too (previously posted).

PS. The Ron De Santis video is 3:10 long.

Such a mystery, no Covid on the continent where millions of doses of HCQ are consumed annually.
And the sun shines endlessly.
What could possibly be protective???

America’s First Mom Raided By FBI Since October 4th DOJ Memorandum? She Fought Against Voter Fraud, Critical Race Theory and Forced Masking in Schools
https://www.worldviewweekend.com/news/article/americas-first-mom-raided-fbi-october-4th-doj-memorandum-she-fought-against-voter

She said the agents would not tell her why they were searching her home. They did leave behind documents related to the search warrant, saying they entered her home because she was suspected of causing "intentional damage to a protected computer, wire fraud and conspiracy to cause damage to a protected computer."

[Narciso]

they might as well be engaging with leeches and alchemy,

Came across a piece (forgot here) that conjectured that Ivermectin might be working well in 3rd World countries because it actually "deworms" people, making them better able to fight off COVID.

[Narciso]

thats not how ivermectin works, why don't they interview dr. robert malone

[Davod]

Neo. What happened to Sheronna Bishop is disgusting.

[MissMarple2]

Narciso,

Modern journalism seems to be nothing but a bunch of people opining on things that they know nothing about. Furthermore, they are totally unapologetic when proven wrong, and just move on to the next controversy.

You haven't lived until you become the subject of the geriatric team.🙄

[Davod]

Clarice. Do you know of any action America's Mom Sheronna Bishop can take against the FBI?

https://www.worldviewweekend.com/news/article/americas-first-mom-raided-fbi-october-4th-doj-memorandum-she-fought-against-voter

[Davod]

MM2 and Narciso. I agree. How hard can it be to do an internet search and then evaluate the results for accuracy. An article by the professionals who are advocating Ivermectin is not hard to find.

Imagine reading an article which includes the deworm claim and the counterargument of the advocates.

[Davod]

Of course, such an article would be banned by Facebook and Twitter for containing bad science.

See how grooming works for everything, not just sexual predators.

After copious amounts of java, I am now on water and feeling somewhat less tired and sleepy.

Jane,

I just saw that Curling is on at 6pm NBCSN.

[Davod]

Jim Eagle. Thanks for the curling reminder.

Julie Kelly - Terror in the tunnel.

[If you think the video of the police beating a protestor is bad, read this]

“We showed up in good faith . . . to protest the election results but never would have imagined we would encounter the horrors that we did on the west terrace and in the tunnel that day,” Nichols explained to Kelly in a phone interview on November 9. “When I saw women being beaten [By a policeman] and in distress, my rescue instinct kicked in and I knew I had no choice but to help rescue them.”

"How much data has the US govt collected as discovery in the January 6 prosecutions?

A prosecutor just said at a hearing that it was about 250 terabytes.

For comparison, she said, the entirety of the Library of Congress is about 10 terabytes."

[Jane]

Cool Jib. I’ll try and remember!

[Jane]

Davod,

Are you a fan of curling?

[Old Lurker]

"A prosecutor just said at a hearing that it was about 250 terabytes.

For comparison, she said, the entirety of the Library of Congress is about 10 terabytes."

Repeating what I have said many times: why would anybody be willing to entrust their wealth to a cryptocurrency and think it is safe from these thugs?

High Noon. And the sheriff works for the bad guys.
