Oh Jackie, I have been expecting this since Brother Walt said he had his heart and lungs messed up, then no contact. Darn, I love your husband more than my own brother. There is still some hope. Yes, Walt would have wanted you to post and let us know. Thank you and we will be praying for Walt and you.

from an AP story on them Evil Nazi Trucker Guys.

"Conservative Ontario Premier Doug Ford, meanwhile, moved to cut off funding for the protests by successfully asking a court to freeze millions of dollars in donations to the convoy through crowd-funding site GiveSendGo. Ford has called the protests an occupation."

Ya know, people just ought to accept that
a. Most of the internet is run by the Bureaucratic Industrial Complex
b. The internet is everything. It's increasingly the substrate for all communications, cash flow etc.

So...you have to build your systems to be immune from Team Blue (or Team Red for that matter). In a moment, Amazon can cut you off from AWS, VISA can quit taking your phone calls, GoDaddy can boot you out the door. It'll never be 100%, but it could be that thinking like a pirate website operator or Sci-Hub should be de rigeur. It's a strong argument for crypto-currencies although I wish that one of them became a store of value rather than a speculation machine.

Bill Tozer

Unbeknownst to the media, there are cryptos flowing in from a site besides GiveSendGo…the seldom mentioned other one. It’s a crypto exchange. Not bad, not bad at all.

CNN has no shame. CNN analyst Juliette Kayyem suggested aggressive means to end the trucker protest in Canada on Thursday, including slashing tires. Although Kayyem’s idea appeared radical to some Twitter users, she doubled down on the tweet later.

"Trust me, I will not run out of ways to make this hurt: cancel their insurance; suspend their drivers’ licenses; prohibit any future regulatory certification for truckers, etc. Have we learned nothing? These things fester when there are no consequences," Kayyem tweeted. Shouldn't Twitter have shut her account due to her threat of violence?

She must have been the one to petition the various liberal governor's to call in the Nat Guard to slash the tires on the BLM folks' vehicles too.

Life In These Blue United States.

"Joe Biden has tapped an LGBTQ+ activist, drag queen “pup” fetishist to be the deputy assistant secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Energy Department’s Office of Nuclear Energy."

https://amgreatness.com/2022/02/10/biden-taps-lgbtq-activist-drag-queen-and-pup-fetishist-for-high-level-position-at-the-office-of-nuclear-energy/

What is a "pup" fetishist you ask?

"“IN THE PUP COMMUNITY, handlers function the same way dog owners do, keeping a watchful eye on their charge and reining in the pups if needed,” Metro Weekly helpfully explained. “It’s the handlers who train the pups and teach them discipline, doling out rewards or punishments based on good or bad behavior.”

The “pups” in question here are fully grown men crawling around on all fours in dog outfits.

“I actually have trouble when we transition from pup play to having sex,” Brinton told the paper.

“Like, ‘No, I can’t have you whimper like that when we’re having sex,’ because I don’t want to mix that world. It’s interesting, because he doesn’t have to come out of pup mode to have me fuck him. I personally have to bring him out of pup perception for me. But then I’m still treating him as a submissive to me.”"

Pre-emptive strike by Dept of Homeland Security (their security, not ours)-

"There are currently no indications of planned violence or civil unrest," the (DHS) memo added. (Regarding U.S. truckers driving by the LA stadium during the super bowl weekend.)

And while some discussion of a potential convoy was taking place online, "we have no indication that individuals discussing participating in these activities in the United States are engaged in anything other than First Amendment-protected activity," the DHS stated. "NONETHELESS (my capitals), DHS remains concerned that these events could have significant public safety implications or potentially be exploited by ideologically motivated actors to potentially act or encourage others to act violently."

I guess they started to be concerned in 2022, forgetting about the BLM 'protests' of '20-'21. Burning & looting must be First Amendment-protected activity.

It’s interesting, because he doesn’t have to come out of pup mode to have me fuck him. I personally have to bring him out of pup perception for me.

Former LAPD chief rescinds support of Los Angeles DA George Gascon; should ‘emphasize the rights of victims’
George Gascon has come under fire from his own prosecutors, law enforcement and elected officials

Some of Gascon's own prosecutors have also come out against his directives. Eric Siddall, vice president of the Association of Los Angeles Deputy District Attorneys, said his boss was running the DA's office into the ground and compared it to a domestic airline.

"Terrible service. No trust. Low employee morale. Chaotic. The feeling of being abandoned," he wrote in a Wednesday newsletter.

In response to Beck's announcement, the Association of Deputy District Attorneys, which represents more than 800 local prosecutors in Los Angeles County, said it was proof that Gascon has "failed to deliver on his promise that his radical policies would make our communities safer."

Good time to ease up on those CCP type mandates, eh? How about a nice time out, loosen the collar a bit, and after Nov. we can go back to closing churches. Right now, the natives are getting restless.

The Reckoning continues…..the rise of the insurrection gathers at The Confluence. Shameful how they treat the common man, the working stiff.

The Dems in 2015 had no answer in their playbook for a R candidate that was a TV Celebrity. They were ready for everything, and saw Dr. Ben Carson their biggest threat out the gate and were all ready for Jeb, knew every credible possible R running, announced or not, knew every weakness, knew their strengths….but they had no plan to deal with someone like Trump. Never had before. No plan. A novel virus so to speak.

Against the trucks, they may call in the troops like ‘we’ called the troops in on the striking railroad workers. National Emergency or something. But Justin refuses to talk to Nazis. Crush them lawbreakers like a bug. Like Wacko. Make Biden look strong by osmosis. The common man’s Alamo.

For filing in the weak sister creepy grampa joe file -

https://www.yahoo.com/news/us-evacuate-ukraine-embassy-amid-042931651.html

Retired Russian Colonel-General Leonid Ivashov, the head of the All-Russian Officers Assembly, has gone public with a statement that calls for Russian President Vladimir Putin to resign over the confrontation involving Ukraine. To remove any doubt as to his message, Ivashov, 78, followed the public statement with an interview on a liberal Russian media outlet, Echo Moskvy, insisting that he was speaking in the name of the assembly of retired and reservist Russian officers which he heads.

Ivashov is not some Putin critic or Russian dissident in the mold of a Boris Nemtsov or an Alexei Navalny. In the absence of an active marshal of the army - such as Marshal Georgy Zhukov, the celebrated Red Army general of World War II - a colonel-general would be the second-highest rank in the Russian army. Ivashov served as a senior aide to the country's defense minister and as the ministry's chief of general affairs before the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991; he subsequently held other high-ranking military posts and commands before retiring

As Michael McFaul, a former U.S. ambassador to Russia, tweeted: "This is a big deal. At one time, General Ivashov was one of the most respected (and hawkish) leaders in the Russian [ministry of defense]. Russian generals don't usually get involved in public policy debates, especially ones like Ivashov."

To be clear, Ivashov believes that NATO is a hostile power, but his experience has taught him that the NATO/U.S. threat is under control and no external threat is imminent from the Western powers. The massive buildup of Russian troops on the Ukraine and Belarus borders, therefore, is not to deal with a threat from the West. Rather, it is to divert attention from the internal health, demographic challenges, living-standards collapse and pervasive corruption that the Russian citizenry is suffering under the mismanagement of an incompetent Putin regime.

This sure sounds like a taking -

According to the Illinois Rental Property Owners Association, the legislation would mandate that landlords participate in the Housing Choice Voucher Program, commonly referred to as the Section 8 program.

Section 8 is a federal rental assistance program for low income individuals whereby monthly rent is determined by income. Participation in the program is currently voluntary for landlords.

“The legislation will have the effect of mandating that a property owner enter into a non-negotiable contract with a unit of government, regardless if the property owner is willing to do so,” said Paul Arena, director of legislative affairs at the Illinois Rental Property Owners Association. “It is unreasonable to accuse a property owner who declines to accept such non-negotiable terms as having violated a person’s human rights. If a government program is not gaining sufficient participation, the solution is to correct objectionable elements of the program. There are remedies other than forced participation.”

The bill also effectively eliminates the use of an income threshold to qualify tenants, Arena said.

Here is a news item you probably didn't get on OAN or Fox....Trump's accounting firm from 2011 to 2020 cut ties with Trump Org. and had the following to say about it:

"We have come to this conclusion based, in part, upon the filings made by the New York Attorney General on January 18, 2022, our own investigation, and information received from internal and external sources. While we have not concluded that the various financial statements, as a whole, contain material discrepancies, based upon the totality of the circumstances, we believe our advice to you to no longer rely upon those financial statements is appropriate.” Basically, the accounting firm is washing their hands of the former president by claiming they acted in good faith based on information Trump gave them.

And from a NY perspective and its managing to get traction -

The allegation, part of the long-running FBI investigation into the 45th president, is at the center of a new filing by special counsel John Durham — in which he alleged that the Clinton campaign paid an internet company to “infiltrate” servers at Trump Tower and the White House to try to make the Trump-Russia connection stick.

Clinton herself amplified the claim on social media, tweeting on Oct. 31, 2016: “Computer scientists have apparently uncovered a covert server linking the Trump Organization to a Russian-based bank.”

‘A Biden Reader”
The Delaware Democrat challenges reporters to “go back and read what I said.” Challenge accepted.

“According to Freud, in the mental process of projection, people attribute to others what is in their own minds. For that dynamic, the Delaware Democrat offers endless possibilities. On voter fraud, World War II, terrorist mass murder, the Six-Day War, or surging inflation, simply “go back and read what I said.” “

Thanks a lot socialist green luddites -

Rice expressed that people should be "very upset" about the price they’re paying to heat their homes, and that failing to implement more U.S. infrastructure will only strengthen America’s dependence on foreign energy.

(Bloomberg) -- Vistra Corp. was once again forced to shut down part of California’s biggest battery storage system after some components malfunctioned.

The company took offline its 100-megawatt Moss Landing battery facility after a safety system activated late on Sunday, according to a statement. It’s the second incident at the plant in less than six months.

In September, Vistra closed the plant’s 300-megawatt facility after some battery modules overheated. An investigation found that smoke from a failed bearing in an air-handling unit in the building triggered a heat suppression system to improperly spray water on battery racks, causing damage and some to overheat, according to a statement from Vistra last month.

Early findings from the most recent incident indicate that water hoses leaked and some batteries shorted, causing smoke in the building, similar to what was observed with the prior issue, Vistra said.

The cause of the latest outage is under investigation, the company said. No injuries were reported.

BLM accounting gimmick further delays disclosure of its $60M bankroll

“BLM revealed in its short-year 2020 Form 990 that its books were now in the care of Elias Law Group, the law firm run by Democratic mega-lawyer Marc Elias.”

Revealed: Clintonworld takeover of Black Lives Matter

“Black Lives Matter filings reveal prominent Democratic lawyer Marc Elias and another longtime ally of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have taken on key roles in the charity amid scrutiny over its leadership and finances.

Elias, best known for his funding of British ex-spy Christopher Steele’s discredited anti-Trump dossier while he served as Clinton’s 2016 campaign general counsel, appears to be representing the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation through his recently formed Elias Law Group. BLM’s national organization repeatedly lists the Elias firm as one of its addresses and states in its short-year 2020 Form 990 that its books were now in the care of the Elias Law Group……

Elias wrote on the fifth anniversary of Clinton’s loss to Donald Trump that “I am still with her.”

Elias was punished by a federal appeals court panel in March for a deceptive, duplicative Texas court filing, and the judges shot down his effort to wriggle out of the sanctions in January.

He benefited from “dark money” for years with his Democracy Docket Legal Fund, a “fiscally sponsored project” of the Hopewell Fund, whose board hired a left-wing dark money firm (Arabella Advisors) to manage its fiscal sponsorships.

While at Perkins Coie, Elias represented Joe Biden’s presidential campaign and the DNC in 2020 and was the general counsel for now-Vice President Kamala Harris’s failed presidential bid. He also represented the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and multiple other PACs.

Elias has testified before a grand jury set up by special counsel John Durham.

Moore is listed as a top leader at the Dewey Square Group consulting firm. She has a long history in Clintonworld, including serving as an assistant to President Bill Clinton and as the director of White House political affairs, where she advised both Bill and Hillary Clinton. She went on to work as the CEO of the Democratic National Committee.“

So Scott. i feel your pain, not. ;) You were correctamudo when you said the only time Idaho makes the news is something in the Idaho Statesman.

'Statesman' sounds rather misogynistic to name but one of a long lists of Woke violations. Statesman. Where to begin?

You got your own Teen Vogue-Tik Tok combo in yer backyard partner. Now, lets work on that name 'Idaho'. Ideeho sounds more fun, but not very inclusive. hmmm

Administrivia - We have been without internet since last Friday (11feb22), and have witnessed new lows in the business competency and operations of ATT. The field technician told us the fix was a simple one of the kind that has been recurring up here on Hind Tit Rd for the last 20 years. But the communications with ATT’s repair management has been almost non-existent, and now it’s become actually non-existent. The field people have no idea what or why the upstream distribution center people are doing and vice versa. Using our cell phone ‘hotspot’ function is our last resort workaround. Please bear with me.

Gregory

I'm on my first month without ATT, not a single twisted pair of copper wires carrying current to Maw Bell or one of her Seven Dwarves.

Feels good. While we do have a voip provider, our mobile phones work over wifi IP just fine and there's no mobile coverage here anyway.

If they can cancel JR Rowling, they can cancel anyone. A tiny feakizoid violent and intolerant very fringe minority full not biological females beating down on real women viciously with their dicks. Are Trannies closet women abusers? I think so. The dudes are the worse.

‘The Dishonest and Misogynistic Hate Campaign Against J.K. Rowling’

“When J. K. Rowling first outed herself as a gender-critical feminist, my first thought was: If Rowling can be cancelled, anyone can be cancelled. Not only is she one of the best known and best loved authors in the world (the writer of children’s books, for goodness sake), she also has a personal history that ought to make her un-cancellable. This was the mum who escaped an abusive marriage and lived off benefits, writing the first Harry Potter book in an Edinburgh café while rocking her sleeping baby in a pram. This was the woman who became a billionaire, but then lost her billionaire status by giving away so much money to charity. If anyone was safe, Rowling should have been safe.”

BT 9:56 - "Now, lets work on that name 'Idaho'."
I researched how this state got the name 'Idaho' and it's actually pretty amusing. The word Idaho was fabricated out of whole cloth by a huckster who was hoping to get the (then) territory of Colorado named Idaho in the early 1860s. He claimed it meant 'jewel' or 'gem' in some imaginary Injun language.
Linquists familiar with native dialects pointed out there was no such word spoken by any tribe in the Americas and they actually had no concept of such a thing. But the campaign to try and name Colorado by that faux native term had legs and as we are aware - tell a story oft enough and the rubes will go along.
When it came time to name the territory that had been separated from the Northwest Territory, miners originally from Colorado who were now seeking gold in this new territory pushed for the name Idaho. It stuck and we're now stuck with it.
Here's one of many versions:
