This is how Biden was greeted in liberal Seattle.
There were a lot of lonely fingers waving in the air. I like the sign “C’mon man, resign!”

HA! Chris Wallace in Crisis: Panicked and Paranoid.
Blaming big daddy and counting his promos, Wallace may be headed for obscurity.
With the recent passing of CNN+ into the Lake of Fire, conservatives cannot stop themselves from wondering if veteran newsman Chris Wallace will also be cast into the abyss. To be candid, those on the right – who were subjected to Wallace’s leftist leanings on Fox until recently – are experiencing a collective moment of schadenfreude. Deriving such pleasure from someone’s misfortune is generally considered unseemly, but not in the case of Chris Wallace. No, he has earned this spell in the Slough of Despond and appears to be sinking rapidly into the muck and mire.
The Deceiver’s Descent
Wallace has spent his professional life cloaking himself in deception. His constant mantra – that he is an “objective” journalist – came crashing down following his performance as moderator of a presidential debate in 2020. His incessant interruption, taking of sides, and chiding of President Trump during that appalling episode demonstrated what many already suspected – that Mr. Wallace is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Fox News executives were likely subjected to an earful about Wallace following that disgraceful performance. Even now, it is unclear whether the son of famed journalist Mike Wallace was pushed out the Fox door or, in all his wanton hubris, jumped ship, landing at the now-defunct CNN+ streaming service. Unsurprisingly, the hashtag #goodriddance was one of the top Twitter trends when the December announcement was made that Wallace was leaving Fox.

From MWIP comments:
The only question is, will liberal fools every be capable of thinking for themselves, or is dorsey, zuchenburg, taken over their feeble minds completely?
I have found that liberals often are quite capable of critical thinking; leftists, however, are brainwashed totalitarian idiots.

Coffee & Covid ☙ Monday, April 26, 2022 ☙ FREE BIRD
Good morning, C&C family! It’s Tuesday, and I have to say, it’s great to be back on my normal post-pandemic schedule. We’re such creatures of habit, aren’t we? Yesterday’s news was OFF THE CHAIN, we have a great roundup: Twitter explodes as Elon Musk’s offer to take the company private was accepted; Disney unwittingly helps DeSantis break fundraising records; DeSantis signs a new elections-integrity law; ivermectin news; Arizona passes a slew of pro-freedom laws; Beto tests positive; Hochul polls below Biden; Walgreen’s covid data shows a surprising development; and a new Florida covid data report.

*THE C&C ARMY POST*Operation Multiplier Updates: I’m working on getting some updates from our multiplier operation yesterday. Stand by. If you are just tuning it, donate any affordable amount, however small, ending in a ‘2’, here: https://secure.anedot.com/health-freedom-defense-fund-hfdf/donate.
Freedom Music! Over the tour I learned about a new genre of music that is bubbling up — Freedom Music. Independent singers and songwriters who’re as fed up as the rest of us are using their talents to promote values of freedom and justice for all, but — imagine this — are being ignored or even shadow-banned by traditional music outlets. One remarkable example is singer/songwriter Jierra, who performed on the “Save a Generation” tour Sunday.
This new music movement, completely contrary to the traditional establishment music industry, is a surprising and encouraging development. New music to be excited about seems pretty rare these days, but this movement is cool. I had a chance to chat with the artist backstage, and she explained the traditional music industry is even grosser than Hollywood, in just about every way you can possibly imagine. It’s horrible.
To listen to or support Jierra, have a glance at her artist page: amap.to/jierra

*********************************************COVID NEWS AND COMMENTARY*
Shocking most reporters who thought Musk’s offer to buy Twitter would be undermined or torpedoed or regulated into oblivion, the board of directors accepted Musk’s offer yesterday and, apart from some unlikely contingencies, Musk will become the new owner of the platform. Following the announcement, things on Twitter immediately started changing and the platform LIT UP.
The first change was news that the company had locked its software code down, so that disgruntled employees couldn’t sabotage anything by making stealth changes to the algorithms. Then throughout the afternoon, existing conservative users began to report their follower numbers jumping. Even though I’m just a small bird in the Twitter forest, mine increased by 10% within a few hours. Apparently Twitter had been suppressing the growth of my account; and if they’d flagged MY little account, it must have been extremely widespread.
By this morning, Twitter was ON FIRE; a whole bunch of long-banned accounts were newly restored. I first noticed Dr. Robert Malone’s announcement, “I’m back!,” quickly followed by “Are we not spelling it ️verm%ktin anymore?” Tucker Carlson popped back into my feed, along with LibsOfTikTok, Michael Caine, and lots of others.On the other side, lefty twitter celebrities like David Hogg were reporting LOSING followers, which I’m guessing represents the ending of Twitter’s artificial promotion of those accounts with bots or fake followers. Other leftwing users were rage-quitting twitter, posting lengthy uncensored jeremiads about losing their free speech, if you can believe that. Conservatives started having a field day tweeting things that would’ve gotten them perma-banned the day before, like “vaccines cause many side effects including death,” and “J6 was not an insurrection.”
Folks, this is more pandemic blessings. Musk’s companies were shut down in California during the early pandemic, even though Tesla met the official state definition of an “essential service,” since it was an energy-related company. After an ugly spat with county officials, Musk moved his companies to Texas during the Great Migration last year. So, he knows how insane and wrong-headed the government covid overreach was.Covid “misinformation” became the excuse for Twitter to crack down on speech on the platform. First, it was the posts and writers who questioned the “official” Covid narrative. Then it was vaccine information, particularly anything questioning whether the jabs were 100% safe and effective. Those government-approved filters then metastasized into political censorship, banning discussion of issues like Hunter Biden’s laptop or whether Lia Thomas was really a man, with those topics joining the ever-expanding definition of banned “misinformation.”
Unsurprisingly, Twitter’s stock lagged over the last year, which gave Musk an opening to buy the company at a significant discount. One of my good friends who runs an investment fund thinks the social media company was undervalued, pegging a fair market price for Twitter at $59 dollars per share (Musk bought at $54.20), and even up to $70 per share for a control premium.
Within hours of the announcement yesterday, Jen Psaki took the podium fretting darkly about threats to free speech on social media, concentration of social media power, and misinformation. She explained, “I’m not going comment on a specific transaction…[T]he President…has long argued that tech platforms must be held accountable for the harms they cause.”
Get ready.
Government regulation IS a potential problem for Twitter, but the government can’t regulate Twitter speech without also regulating Facebook, which remains a reliable government-controlled platform. So. We’ll see.
****************************
The Tampa Bay Times published a surprising article yesterday headlined, “Ron DeSantis’ Fight With Disney Helped Him Break Fundraising Records.” The left-leaning paper explained that the Governor has raised about $105 million dollars through the end of March, largely in small donations. That amount sets a record in Florida politics, not least of all for someone like DeSantis, who is not personally wealthy and is unable to self-fund.
With more than seven months left, DeSantis has already raised more than double his 2018 total. The three democrats running against DeSantis have only raised a combined $16 million, which more than anything highlights a certain lack of enthusiasm on the democrat side.
Tallahassee lobbyist and DeSantis fundraiser Nick Iarossi credited the Governor’s covid policies for turning him into a national foil against “lockdown” states and Joe Biden’s Administration. “Whether it’s $10 or larger, people want to be part of the campaign,” he explained. “A lot of times governors are really relatively unknown outside their state … [DeSantis’] name ID nationally is very high.”
Although you’d never have expected a Florida politician to take on Disney and survive, much less set fundraising records, that is exactly what happened. Thanks, Disney!
*****************************
Speaking of Governor DeSantis, he signed a major election-integrity bill yesterday that creates a special new elections police force, criminalizes Zuckerbucks and ballot harvesting, and requires election supervisors to update voter lists more frequently.

It’s been a bad week for Florida democrats. Earlier this week in a special session, Republicans passed a bill removing Disney’s special tax district and approving new electoral maps that increase republican seats. Widely-shared videos show democrat lawmakers protesting the bill by screaming incoherently and falling on the chamber floor in Tallahassee.

Hipster triple-jabbed Texas democrat and gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke has tested positive for symptomatic covid. But it probably would’ve been worse without all that mRNA spike protein.
[Insert tweet}
In addition to being fully vaccinated and boosted, I regularly test for COVID-19 while traveling the state for town hall meetings.I tested negative yesterday morning before testing positive today.
I have mild symptoms and will be following public health guidelines.
***************************
Ivermectin can now be purchased over the counter without a prescription in Tennessee, after Governor Bill Lee signed a new bill into law. [I wonder if I can buy some online, since my pharmacy still won’t fill my prescription.]
****************************
Arizona Governor Doug Ducey signed bills banning local governments from requiring covid vaccines, preventing schools from mandating masks, and designating churches as “essential services” that are “vital to the health and welfare of the public” during any future emergencies. So.
****************************
New York’s replacement governor, Kathy Hochul, is apparently mired in low approval ratings. Fox 5 NY reported the story in an article headlined, “Governor Kathy Hochul’s job performance rating plunges – per new Siena poll.” The poll results show Hochul’s job performance rating is at a historic low of only 36%, just above the minimum hardcore ideological group that will approve anything at all.
**************************
Walgreen’s most recent covid-19 report shows that, among its customers, the unvaccinated are now far less likely to test positive for a covid infection.
[image:20661828-7BFF-4EE3-85FE-F6D9700B427C-15548-000085EA357044A2/F03E1A87-9D0A-4388-B87E-D47C01E281CF.png]
Unvaxxed — 10%
1 Dose — 16.1%
2 Doses — 35.4%
3 Doses — 41.3%
Walgreen’s data also shows that unvaccinated folks test MORE OFTEN than anyone other group, presumably due to workplace testing requirements.
Even more interesting, those who’d had 3 doses were the MOST likely to test positive (41.3% of all positive tests). It’s almost like the vaccines are working in reverse, or like there’s something wrong with the immune systems of the most highly jabbed folks. So weird. It’s the opposite of herd immunity.

Buhwahahahahahaha When D_n Patric_ (nee Goeb) left his padded room in 700 KSEV to run for senator his main campaign promise was lowering property taxes. Now I dunno bout anyone else but my property taxes has consistently gone up since D_n was elected in 2006 to the senate. I cannot remember the last time LT GUBNOR D_n has even mentioned moving on property taxes.

A credit card company launching Tuesday will allow cardholders to funnel cash to conservative causes in an attempt to push back on a woke corporate culture that has seen banks funnel billions to causes like Black Lives Matter and the Clinton Foundation.
Coign, whose advisory team includes former Republican senator Cory Gardner (Colo.), is eschewing those politics, instead allowing cardholders to cast votes on which charities receive their merchant fees.
“Too many corporations are investing their customers’ money in political and social priorities that align with their executives, the media, and the left’s agenda,” Coign founder Rob Collins, a former GOP political operative, told the Washington Free Beacon. “Coign will let conservatives voice their priorities through charitable donations they get to pick.”
This is still shocking to me.
The country’s top 10 largest credit card issuers, including Chase and Bank of America, gave more than $2.6 billion to Black Lives Matter initiatives after George Floyd’s death in 2020 and tens of millions more to other liberal groups, according to data accessed through Foundation Directory Online.
The corporations also donated more than $29 million to the left-wing immigration group UnidosUS, $2 million to the Clinton Foundation, and $1.2 million to pro-abortion groups. Goldman Sachs, meanwhile, has donated $3.5 million to Chinese universities and $5 million to the Obama Foundation.

Oh he and Bettencourt mention it, they claim to have fixed it.
In the most recent Legislative Session, Senator Bettencourt successfully passed Senate Bill 2, the Texas Property Tax Reform and Transparency Act of 2019, by a vote of 21-9 to bring meaningful property tax reform and relief to all Texas taxpayers. This was the first major property tax reform legislation in almost 40 years, and the culmination of two decades of advocacy.

The 2022 “year in review” specials should feature the angry moms of school board meetings. The army of moms standing up against the sexualization of their children by groomer teachers is a defining moment in the culture wars this year. It is happening again in Glendale, Calif. at the Glendale Unified School District, and the board there got an earful at their last meeting after a third-grade teacher, Tammy Tiber, was caught teaching LGBTQ sexuality to 8-year-olds three days a week.
The teacher played several videos for her 8-year-old students that addressed “queer kid stuff,” “pride parades,” “love is love,” and a lesson on Stonewall. One of the videos (below), called Talking to Kids About Pride Month, was pretty disturbing.
This is an important article revealing the lengths school administrators will go to in order to cover up what teachers are doing in the classroom. If there a single good thing about conducting classes remotely, it is the exposition of teachers and what they would be teaching children if they were in the classroom.
All of these teachers and administrators today are products of schools of education on college campuses over the last few decades. Walter Williams warned us about what was coming, but I think even he would be shocked at the depravity today. Williams wanted to demolish every education school at every university, grind up the rubble and prohibit anything being built there again.

Got shamed by a female friend who just joined an exercise class and did 2 hours of cardio dance and yoga – which I’d be lucky to go 10 minutes – into getting outside and getting the blood flowing a little. So I’ve taken out one of three stumps from the 50 year old hedges that I cut down a little over a year ago. Multiple trunks in the 4″ to 6″ range all joined to create one big stump about 30″ diameter. Wedge, sledge hammer, and sharpshooter shovel combined with some flabby old muscle got it out of there in about an hour and a half, one piece at a time. Had to take a break, but I’ll go load all that stuff up in the wheelbarrow here in a bit and haul it off. I have one more that I think I can get out – probably not today – and another one that is still solid as a rock and will not budge. Anyway, swinging that 5 lb sledge should do wonders for upper body strength.

Well, the eastern (down-sloping) half of my block still has water standing in the street and up over the curbs, after the good rain we got yesterday. The story is that there was work on White Oak Bayou a couple of weeks ago, and they seem to have left some of the drainage channels blocked off.

Oh crap MHarper. Do we need to send a rescue boat to get you out of the flood?

OK, about a third of stump number 2 taken out. Of course wheelbarrow had a flat time, so had to go drag the compressor out and get it aired up. Always one dam thing after another. Beautiful day out there with lighter winds and moderate temps. A good day to get some outdoor work done. I hope to complete removing stump #2, but I also intend to not over do it. Hey, where can I find me some of that tannerite stuff. That looks like it could be fun to have around if the neighbors get too unruly or something.

I haven’t treadmilled yet – waiting for this stick in the lower left part of my back to shake loose…about to get on. Gotta work out to keep the numbers in check.
I did spend the last few hours doing some straightening up. I am planning on having some dear friends over soon, and if I start cleaning up my work areas and other crap now, I *might* have it done in a few weeks.
I managed to make sense of one particular cluttered area that’s been driving me nuts. It now looks neater, as well as some other areas. Dusted, put away, cleaned my canned jars so I can put them away. I’ve run out of room on the shelves in the garage, so I’m going to have to take these upstairs and find a place for them.
It sounds like a lot of food, but in reality, it’s maybe 3-4 months. If we have a real depression, that won’t be near enough. I believe the LDS shortened their requirements from 3 years to 2 years of food supplies. (I’m sure I can be corrected if that’s wrong.) But still – we non-LDS are woefully unprepared for a real disaster. If we have another 2 week freeze, though, or if food prices shoot through the roof for a short time, we have something to fall back on. That makes me feel better.
Of course, I’m assuming I’ll be allowed to keep my food for myself…

The insane story I’m hearing now about the flooded street is that the workers can’t get down in the flooded drainage tunnels because they are full of water.

HEADLINE: An Unethical Prosecutor Destroyed Her Dreams, Now She Seeks to Hold Him & Court System Accountable for Violating Her Constitutional Rights
Arlington, Va.—Everybody knows your prosecutor can’t also be your judge. Everyone, that is, except for former Midland County, Texas, prosecutor Ralph Petty, his supervisor, and the county’s entire system of justice. Petty spent 20 years moonlighting as a law clerk for the same judges he argued before, effectively playing both prosecutor and judge in more than 300 cases. It is one of the most brazen and obvious examples of prosecutorial abuse in modern American history, yet Petty and the others who oversaw this miscarriage of justice have never been held personally accountable for their actions in a court of law. With a lawsuit it filed on April 11, 2022, the Institute for Justice seeks to change that.
“Allowing Petty to serve as a law clerk—a right-hand advisor—for judges in his own cases eviscerated the line between prosecutor and judge; it gave Petty the ability to surreptitiously shape judicial thinking, draft rulings in his favor, gain access to confidential defense materials, and earn over $250,000 in the process,” said Institute for Justice Attorney Alexa Gervasi. “In other words, Petty was essentially the de facto judge for those he prosecuted and in cases where his primary employer—the District Attorney’s Office—was a party. This was a clear, indisputable conflict of interest.”There are a whole bunch of civil service and prosecutorial/police immunity rules that need to be changed NOW! The prosecutor in the above cases needs to spend the rest of his miserable life in prison.
-
My biggest problem with the flooded street so far is the people “downstream” who can’t drive home, so they are parking their cars “upstream” on the curbs that are dry. Most are doing a pretty good job of not obstructing the dry driveways. But I came back from a quick milk-and-bananas run to the store, to find another car on my curb, leaving me barely able to squeeze between them to get onto my driveway.

Durham has hundreds of emails between Fusion GPS and reporters.
Fusion GPS and Franklin Foer (then-working with Slate, and now with The Atlantic) e-mails – in which Fusion GPS alleges Millian is “clearly KGB.” Take a close look at Foer’s interactions with Fusion GPS. This is the press you don’t see: groveling to opposition researchers, begging for their assistance with “omissions and errors,” and pleading that his draft not be distributed to the competition. In other words, entirely consistent with the journalistic standards of Slate.
As Durham makes clear, no lawyers are copied in these e-mails and this doesn’t have anything to do with legal advice. And even if there were some type of privilege or work product, it was waived when Fusion GPS distributed the info to the press.
There are a number of other important observations. The Fusion GPS witness who will testify is the “tech maven” referenced in their e-mails with the New York Times. This appears to be confirmation that Laura Seago will be the Fusion GPS employee to testify.
Durham also destroys the declarations of John Podesta and Robby Mook on behalf of Hillary for America (we discussed the declarations here), stating Mook has stated Perkins Coie was to handle and oversee “international” opposition research. Mook also received “general updates concerning” these findings though he says he was unaware who had been specifically retained.
What a rat’s nest of villainy. A festering sewer of corruption. An unending flow of pus.

finished up the day with a little over half of the second stump removed. Will try to remember to get back on that one tomorrow. All tools cleaned up and put away for today now. Front plants needed some water, so got that done. Overall, a great day to be outside, and the wind even subsided today. Talked to BFF’s sister for a while, and they are all doing life as pretty much normal, but they still need to plan a trip to Dallas to get things working on the sale of the townhouse – still, dead in the water due to court backlog to get her will probated so someone can sign legal papers and such.
I’m not certain if I have RSVPed to the couchfest, but it appears that I will be unable to attend even as much as I would like to. Take lots of pictures.
Got to take a little break now. Most exercise that I’ve gotten lately. I need it to rain so that my grass will turn green and grow so that I can get the mower out and get some more exercise. Gotta get back in shape somehow. More later.

El Gordo, good job on those stumps and I was proud of myself for digesting drainage trench across the backyard. I’ve been working on it off and on for the past two days. I cheated and use the Sub-Soiler on the tractor to dig the 2′ deep trench but it did take a while to clean it up with a Pick Maddocks and the roots were awful after the first terrace.
FWIW; I was amazed how well the Sub-Soiler chopped through the roots, some as big as my arm, but it only severed them so I had to whack off the other side to used the shovel. -

All Carl had to so was steer an old wagon, without power steering through the gate…Oh and it didn’t have a motor or transmission either…. Wife says that one day I need to write a book. 😀

Yesterday my wife and I both got out and mowed the yard to beat the rains. Well she was on MY tractor while I was on my John Deere rider, she got around the back yard and smooth run over and chopped up my water hose I had stretched out to my garden. Today I was attempting to get my burn pile lit that is overrun with yard debri and she is freaking out that I don’t have a water hose out there, never mind that I can’t hardly get even any pine needles to catch. So anyway she looked up garden hoses on Amazon, found this one called Flexzilla and was gonna order. I told her let me shop around cause I hate a cheap hose that wants to kink up when you coil it or will balloon out, so I get to Googling best garden hoses and what do you know, same one. So is it truly the best reviewed or just saw she was looking at that one, who knows.
Anyway, 5/8”x100’ for $67 I think, neon green so maybe she won’t run over it again and it arrived here in the boonies in like 4hrs! I still don’t understand how they make money on that but I’m not complaining.

Johnny Horton’s 1959 Battle of New Orleans was the first 45 rpm record we had in our house and my mother had to buy, down at Woolworth’s, one of those little plastic discs to snap into it so we could play it over and over and over again on our Victrola turntable. We had to tape a nickel on the arm head to keep the needle from skipping out of the record grooves. Good memories.

I stuck two big tractors one day in gray/yellow/black clay one day.

…and a pickup.

Oh I got stupid stuck stories…

Be it mud, sand or high centered I done all.

Didja know a VW Beetle is unstickable in Kenney, TX sugar sand? Floats on top.
Much fun. -
My very first record was an LP by Andy Griffith; What is was, was football. I got it for my birthday when I was 6 or 7 and to this day I can recite every line in every story. My second one was Hello Mudduh, Hello Fadduh by Allen Sherman.

You ran over the hose.
You didn’t tell me it was out there.
What did you think I was watering with?
Why didn’t you pull it in before you sent me mowing over there?

Just don’t try it with Mud Grips, (Yankees call them Snow Tires) they’ll dig a hole. Don’t ask me how I know.

We can have a stuck, stranded, buried , drowned, burned, stolen vehicle contest some weekend OC when everyone has to post all their stories. Lies are not allowed, but small exaggerations are acceptable.

I’ll have to tell the one where I had to report that I’d lost the nuke.

Camp is very entertaining and they say we’ll have some fun if it stops raining

Yep.

Oddly enough my old 100K+ GMC truck was stolen in the month of August and then again in September by two different people. I’ll have to repeat that one even though I’ve posted it before. Or I could say something about the old decommissioned Anaheim Van getting stuck in the pasture near the house and we couldn’t pull it out with 2, one ton 4X4s, one Chevy and one Ford tied in tandem. BUTT that Pseudo D-9, (Komatsu) didn’t even blink.

Wait a minute, it’s stopped hailing, guys are swimming, guys are sailing, playing baseball, gee that’s better, Mudduh, Fudduh kindly disregard this letter. :grin;

I remember y’all mentioning that. I saw a TV version of that on the Ed Sullivan Show. I had no idea it was from a road show but I was just a kid.

We all have stories. It will be a great time and the only thing missing will be the beer and the campfire.

I did blame myself, to myself, for not rolling it up so I did not get mad or say a word about it. But honest to God, she yelled at me for the grass being too high. Gee I thought that was why we were mowing, but that’s just me.

I know a great place to have both. No potties, though. For me, that’s a feature not a bug, but for some it might be a deal breaker.

#84 – Lawdy Yall aint gotta CHANCE trust me!
Picture the front end of a Cat 16g motor grader sunk so deep we could JUST see the top of the tire treads…………..took a 637 double barrel scraper to yank it out (only because scrapers were circulating MUCH closer than the resident D-10 dozer)
Amazing enough all the foreman said was: “Hey ya can’t get one stuck if you aint working!” (didn’t even raise his voice until He said):
“Don’t do it again!” 🙂

I’m glad Sarge volunteered to dig the latrine.

Don’t feel like the Lone Ranger. Campfire within walking distance of your van.
