Good morning.
He’s the heir apparent to Mitch McConnell.
He must be replaced as soon as possible.

We’re getting ready for a short Road Trip to Brunswick, St Simons Island, our old stomping grounds for about 5 years back in the 70’s. The last time we visited there was September 1984 and wife was pregnant with daughter. Dang Shannon is up early.

UPSIDES AND DOWNSIDES ☙ Tuesday, September 26, 2023 ☙ C&C NEWS
Good morning C&C, it’s Tuesday! Your roundup today includes: CBS helps Americans see the value in their investment in Ukrainian oligarchs; three stories in one week show the covid narrative shifting big time: ‘long covid’ is not as bad as we thought; Merck drug study shows the antiviral is making new variants; covid expert shifts opinion on long-term effects; SADS actor; woke covid dictator suddenly and unexpectedly toppled in Australia; surprise debate announcements; and the feds propose a law to confiscate captured UFO technology like ray guns and flying saucers and stuff.
NEWS:
Mr. C. starts off with a 60 Minutes story on what we’re getting in Ukraine for all of the moolah being shoveled and carted over there. His usual snark is just what I needed to start my day:
Wait! Let’s try to guess first! I’ll do my top 3, you put your guesses in the comments, then we’ll see what CBS’s answer was. Ready? Here are my top three guesses as to what we’re “getting for our money”:
- Nothing.
- Screwed.
- A nuclear sandwich.
Runners-Up included: (4) a massive humanitarian crisis, (5) a depleted arsenal, (6) back-breaking inflation, and (7) crab lice.
Now let’s compare with CBS’s notes.
Basically, we’re subsidizing their hard hit economy. I don’t really see what we’re getting out of it.
If CBS meant for this story to stir Americans’ sense of charity and desire to help prop up Ukraine’s faltering fake government (the story absurdly claimed 100% of its budget is being used to fund the war), CBS’s plan backfired. The online response was swift and sarcastic:
[Insert list of brutal responses here.]
Fail. Big fail.

Gotta love the media over the waters…this time it’s Sky News reporting on a flawed study about ‘long Covid’.
(I do love their coverage of our resident in the White House. They laugh and giggle while we cry and scream.)
Savor the article’s first sentence, describing a new study published in the British Medical Journal’s conclusions:
The risk of contracting long COVID may have been exaggerated due to ‘major flaws’ in the research, leading to unnecessarily high levels of anxiety about suffering from it, a new study has suggested.
Major flaws? What do you call it when majorly-flawed scientific research creates “unnecessarily high levels of anxiety?” Manslaughter? Malpractice? Iatrogenics? Nope. It’s Science, so shut up.
Basically, it implies that the “long covid” diagnosis is made up. Over 200 symptoms and no real causal connection determined.
Postscript: Don’t get me wrong; some folks have credibly reported lingering symptoms following covid, even unjabbed people. This story catalogs the astounding narrative shifts this week.
Read on to the next story:
…Bloomberg, headlined “Merck’s Covid Drug Linked to Virus Mutation Patterns, Study Says.” The sub-headline explained, “Research raises concerns about accelerating Covid’s evolution.”
Ruh-roh. Their drug to treat the world-ending virus could be creating a Frankenstein bug?
Merck’s Lagevrio, known generically as molnupiravir, works by creating mutations in covid’s genetic structure, allegedly to stop the virus from replicating, which Merck claims reduces covid’s ability to cause severe illness in some immeasurable degree.
But according to the new study, which was published Monday in the journal Nature, viral samples from unlucky patients who took molnupiravir show a “signature mutation profile,” meaning the viral changes were triggered by the drug. Hopefully the drug doesn’t mutate patients own cells. But in any case, the emergence of a treatment-associated viral mutation pattern suggests some mutant variants are surviving and spreading, even after exposure to the drug, the researchers concluded.
Just imagine what a NEW virus would do to our economy/society. And what will be the long term side effects?
But…SCIENCE! I do get tired of our people getting treated like guinea pigs. The world is not the testing lab for Big Pharma.

Now we arrive at celebrity vaccine scientist Dr. Paul Offit, a central figure on the FDA’s vaccine advisory committee, the one that approved the jabs for kids without any debate. Call me naive, but I was actually reassured when Dr. Offit’s name first came up, back in the halcyon days of the early pandemic, back when I still believed the government had some idea it knew what it was doing.
After all, I had read Dr. Offit’s book, “Pandora’s Lab: Seven Stories of Science Gone Wrong.” … I figured if anyone understood the potential for the horrifying long-term risks inherent in hasty, politically-driven drug approvals, it would be Dr. Paul Offit.
/snip
… Now it’s 2023, the Science™ is evolving. Yesterday, Dr. Offit published a new video clip, in which he explained his rationale for not getting the new and improved booster shot. Wait till you hear this:
What the CDC needs to do is they need to tell us who is getting hospitalized this year and who’s dying. What are their ages? What — exactly — are their co-morbidities? Did they get a vaccine? If so, when was their last dose?
More importantly, did they get an antiviral?
I’ll take myself as an example. I’ve had three doses of the Wuhan-1 strain. My last dose was in November of 2021. I had a mild, two-day infection in May of 2022. I think I’m protected. I didn’t get last year’s bivalent vaccine. I’m not getting this year’s vaccine.
I would like the CDC to answer those questions.
One thing that kind of bothers me a lot is when people say, well, there’s no downside. First of all, whenever you take any medicine or any biological, there’s a downside….The downside may be rare. It may be um, very rare. But nonetheless, there’s ALWAYS a downside.
And we’re going to find out about this vaccine over time.
/snip
Because the reason you have myocarditis is you’re making immune response to your own heart muscle. I mean, it appears to be generally transient and short-lived, but there’s invariably a spectrum of disease, and we’ll find out about that over time.
It’s perfectly reasonable to take those risks if the benefits are clear. But when the benefits aren’t clear, then it’s not so reasonable to risk, even rare risk.
/snip
Opinions, like viruses, evolve. But some people (like your humble author) shared Dr. Offit’s questions for the CDC — but we had those questions back in 2021. And we wondered about the long-term side effects back in 2021. Back when the government swore the jabs were the safest, most studied drugs in history.
But now the narrative is shifting. Again! Mark your score cards.

We made it through another Yom Kippur and hope we are sealed by God in the Book of Life for another year. Jews only
feastfast one day a year on Yom Kippur. It’s a good thing because the world couldn’t tolerate any more weepin’ and wailin’ about hunger from The Tribe.The breaking of the Fast is the only time during the year I will eat bagels. We always have lox, cream cheese, bagels and smoked whitefish. Between the carbs and the salt I probably gain 4 lbs.

There was one SADS report, and then the wonderful news that the draconian COVID dictator in Australia is stepping down, Suddenly & Unexpectedly. In case you didn’t know, Australia had some of the harshest restrictions in place, with the unjabbed being forced to live in “containment camps” and not even being allowed to sit on the porches of their little cabin prisons. I remember watching a video of a group of enforcers in hazmat suits having words with one such prisoner, telling him he wasn’t allowed to sit outside of his unit. His germs might float around and infect one of the other unjabbed living in the camp. And by the way, if you’ll just submit, you can go home and try to put your life back together…
I hear there are resignation parties being thrown in Australia. A good reason to celebrate.

DeSantis and Newsom will debate, with blowhard Hannity moderating:
Sean Hannity announced yesterday that on November 30th, he will moderate a 90-minute “red versus blue debate” between Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and California Governor Gavin Newsom. It’s totally not a presidential debate. Hannity explained, sort of, “I’m looking forward to providing viewers with an informative debate about the everyday issues and governing philosophies that impact the lives of every American.”
Oh. Alrighty then. We’re just all going to pretend like it’s the first-ever non-campaigning gubernatorial debate. Okey dokey.

Texpat, glad your celebration went well. We missed you.

AI is killing our future – men are choosing fake girlfriends over the real deal:
Let’s look at the hard numbers. More than 60 percent of young men (ages 18-30) are single, compared to only 30 percent of women the same age. One in five men report not having a single close friend, a number that has quadrupled in the last 30 years. The amount of social engagement with friends dropped by 20 hours per month over the pandemic and is still decreasing.
These young men are lonely, and it is having real consequences. They are choosing AI girlfriends over real women, meaning they don’t have relationships with real women, don’t marry them and then don’t have and raise babies with them. America desperately needs people to have more babies, but all the signs are pointing toward fewer relationships, fewer marriages and fewer babies. There have been 600,000 fewer births in 2023 in the U.S. relative to 15 years ago. The number of children per woman has decreased by more than 50 percent in the last 60 years.
Put another way, we don’t have enough people to work, and therefore we won’t be able to pay our bills, not just to other countries, but to ourselves. We spent more than $1.6 trillion in 2021 on Medicare and Medicaid, with the number of Americans on Medicare expected to increase by 50 percent by 2030, to more than 80 million people. But over the same period, we will have only 10 million more Americans joining the workforce.
/snip
While the concept of an AI girlfriend may seem like a joke, it really isn’t that funny. It is enabling a generation of lonely men to stay lonely and childless, which will have devastating effects on the U.S. economy in less than a decade. .
Add the “we need no men” generation of feminists, the emasculating of our society, the declining birth rate – that’s how societies die. We need more babies!

Speaking of Jews…
America has been both blessed and cursed with some brilliant Jewish conservative thinkers and writers while being dragged down by a Baby Boomer aged cohort of mostly secular and Leftist Jews in academia and culture.
Compared to a list of prominent boomer Jews, the list of millennials skews heavily conservative and religious. This is not a fluke. The times they are a-changin’, and the era of the liberal Jew is coming to an end. When Elena Kagan was appointed to the Supreme Court in 2010, she was one of three Jewish justices.* With Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death and Stephen Breyer’s retirement, Kagan is the only one left. In the 1990s, half of the congressmen from New York City were Jews. 76-year-old Jerry Nadler is now the last one.
The main reason for this shift is demographics. With rare exceptions, the first step to becoming a prominent liberal Jew is to be born to liberal Jewish parents. That is becoming a rare occurrence. According to Pew Research Center, amongst non-orthodox Jews who married in the 2010s, the intermarriage rate was 72 per cent. The generation before, the intermarriage rate was a little lower, but still over 50 per cent. Amongst the offspring of intermarriage, 82 per cent go on to marry non-Jews. Even when liberal Jews do marry each other, their fertility is low. Pew reports that the average non-orthodox Jew has 1.7 children compared with 4.1 children for orthodox Jews. As Covid taught us, exponential growth catches up with you faster than you expect. In 2012, 74 per cent of all Jewish children in New York City were orthodox, and by now the per centage is certainly higher. In a few decades, secular liberals will be swamped. Amongst the five Jews I mentioned above, only the conservatives (Shapiro, Raichik and Miller) have Jewish spouses.
* A note here about the Supreme Court. I don’t think it’s a coincidence the recent attacks on Catholicism have increased in public intensity since the conservative faction on the Court has increased to five Catholics and one Episcopalian.
Reform Judaism aggressively recruits converts — in recent years, its leaders have been especially eager for nonwhite converts — who sometimes have a tenuous commitment to Judaism. It diluted the Jewish tradition into a toothless humanism that is often combined with anti-Israel activism. This virtually destroyed secular Jews’ identity and sense of peoplehood. If liberal Jews wanted to take over America (as certain people on the right have argued is their endgame), they could easily have done so by marrying each other and having four children each. Almost no one did this because almost no one had that goal.
The author is certainly right about this one prognostication: In a generation or two, the vast majority of secular, leftwing Jews will have dissolved into assimilation through religious neglect and intermarriage. The remaining Jews will be orthodox, observant and politically conservative with large monogamous families and be regarded as a bunch of rightwingers.

Scottish actor and musician David McCallum has passed. He gained wide recognition in the 1960s for playing secret agent Illya Kuryakin in the television series The Man from U.N.C.L.E. His other notable television roles include Carter in Colditz (1972–1974) and Steel in Sapphire & Steel (1979–1982). Beginning in 2003, McCallum gained renewed international popularity for his role as NCIS medical examiner Dr. Donald “Ducky” Mallard in the American television series NCIS. On film, McCallum notably appeared in The Great Escape (1963).

#16 TT: Dr. Mallard was 90 at the time of his passing.

I typed “fast” but this Mac refused to allow fast with the noun Jews so it changed it to feast.
A correction: There is one other fast in Judaism and that is for Tish’a B’av which usually lands on my birthday near the end of July.

A handful of brave GOP members of Congress want to put the kibosh on Dr Fauci’s taxpayer-funded perks, which reportedly include a limousine, a full time driver, and a fully staffed U.S. Marshals security detail.
and,
Fauci’s taxpayer-funded detail is estimated to cost the U.S. taxpayer around $1 million dollars per month, according to comparable previous security details. Contrary to popular belief, the “retired” NIAID chief reportedly remains on staff via a no show job at the NIAID, so that he can receive his U.S. Marshals security detail.
These arrogant jackass thugs run these taxpayer funded agencies as if they owned them.

The Harris Ranch Supercharger sits at on a beautiful resort-style ranch between San Francisco and Los Angeles and provides good food and plenty of charging spots for folks making the six-hour journey between the two cities. Tesla hails the Harris Ranch site as the largest bank of EV chargers in the world at 98 spots, but one journalist found that the Superchargers are often supplemented by a small diesel plant.
Wait ! What ?!?!
But as with many Tesla-related things, there is a secret, thinly obscured by an Oz-like curtain, at the Harris Ranch Supercharger. Hidden in plain sight across the way from the Harris Ranch Supercharger’s main stations, behind a Shell station, is a small diesel plant that has helped power Tesla’s footprint.

USAToday is a primer for the mentally challenged, emotionally disturbed portion of the American public with a tenuous grasp on reality. It’s almost a cartoon version of a real newspaper.
A tech industry trade group is asking the Biden administration to issue guidance for corporations wrestling with the implications of a landmark Supreme Court ruling that struck down affirmative action in higher education and precipitated a new wave of challenges to diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives in the private sector.
Though it does not apply to employers, conservative activists seized on the high court ruling, arguing it raises fundamental issues about how corporate America addresses workplace inequality. Since then, the nation has seen an uptick in legal challenges to DEI programs, and Republican state attorneys general have warned large employers like Microsoft and Walmart against race-conscious practices in hiring and contracting.
Now the Chamber of Progress is asking the Justice Department’s civil rights division to weigh in.
The Chamber of Progress ? Is this a joke ? I mean it, really.
Corporate diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives – DEI for short – were already under fire from GOP leaders like Florida Gov. and presidential hopeful Ron DeSantis. Republican criticism only intensified in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling on affirmative action.
These people are getting hysterical.
That’s by design, according to Stacey Abrams, the former Georgia House minority leader and Democratic gubernatorial candidate.
“Lawsuits are designed not for victory, but for a chilling effect,” Abrams told Fortune CEO Alan Murray at the Fortune Impact Initiative conference in Atlanta.
The scary part, she said, “it’s working.”
They’re demanding the right to run the private sector by racial quota in every damned corner of American life. These people are autocratic nightmares and need to be eradicated like zombies.

Morning, y’all. I’m still sleepy, so as soon as I finish my Oat Squares, I may crawl back in bed. The cats don’t set me a good example! Yeah, they are very insistent that I get up and feed them, but as soon as they’ve cleaned their bowls, they all flake out again.

My comment @ 10:39 AM
It would be fun if Super Dave’s son would pass by the Harris Ranch Supercharger and get some nice photos of the diesel generator there. I’ll post them here.
The Supercharger sits in Moorpark and if my guess Dave’s son lives Southeast of it, the place is a few minutes from his house, just northeast of the Reagan Presidential Library.The Tesla Supercharger mentioned in my earlier comment is actually in Fresno County, in Coalingua which is over 3 hours north of Moorpark. I have no idea if Dave’s son ever goes close to that area.

When I was looking up the “Chamber of Progress” and reading their website, I came across this video posted there. You can often find some interesting things reading the enemies’ websites to see which of the latest conservative activities have terrified them.
This is different.
Here is a video of a Republican representative making his case, trying to sell his bill to the Texas House Select Committee on Constitutional Rights and Remedies. This bill, apparently, would have all kinds of broad, vague powers to moderate and censor anything published on the internet. The Democrats on the committee make him look like a dunce. Good grief, man.
We think, but we don’t know because this is the worst sales pitch I’ve seen in a very long time.
I don’t know who this Texas House member is, but he needs to learn how to write a coherent piece of legislation and equally, if not more importantly, learn how to speak in public clearly and with conviction.
This is scary if it is the best Republicans can do.

The Thomas More Society is the Roman Catholic arm in the fight for freedom and liberty in this country along with Alliance Defending Freedom and Judicial Watch among many others.
Can a school district require teachers to hide a student’s gender identity and ‘social transition’ from his or her parents? Two teachers from a California middle school are suing the Escondido Union School District—or EUSD, a K-8 school district—and the California State Board of Education over policies that force them to do just that.
Attorneys from the Thomas More Society filed suit April 27 in Mirabelli, et al. v. Olson, et al., on behalf of California teachers Elizabeth Mirabelli and Lori Ann West. The suit argues EUSD’s new policies, requiring teachers to accept and aid in a student’s ‘social transition,’ violate the Free Speech and Free Exercise clauses of the First Amendment.
Now we have some progress and injunctive relief for the teachers in the case.
(September 14, 2023 – San Diego, California) A California federal court has granted teachers Elizabeth Mirabelli and Lori Ann West reprieve from a dangerous school district policy forcing them to lie to parents about their children’s gender identity. Thomas More Society attorneys successfully convinced the court to issue the preliminary injunction prohibiting the enforcement of Escondido Union School District’s offensive policy while the case is under court consideration. The court order, issued on September 14, also denies motions to dismiss the case filed by both the Escondido Union School District and the California Department of Education.

Did Soros ‘Republicans’ make it ILLEGAL for Texas AG Ken Paxton to prosecute voter fraud?!
I saw this over the weekend and between the sloppy, unedited transcription at The Blaze and the often incoherent ramblings of Ken Paxton and Glenn Beck, it is difficult to understand exactly what they’re talking about. It seems some leftwing law firm defending a voting process criminal in Texas was smart enough to challenge the legal standing of the AG’s office per the law in 1951 authorizing that office to handle all voting law violations directly. It appears the Paxton & Co. were caught off guard or didn’t take the legal challenge seriously and the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals ruled against the AG’s office.
Or so it seems. Paxton acts like this happened yesterday, but it looks as if it occurred 2 years ago. I don’t know and didn’t have time to research it. I wish Texas Scorecard or someone would clarify this problem.

I was in a fantasy baseball league for a while some number of years ago. The guide book for the rules we were using picked USA Today as the “official” source for box scores, etc.
The reason at the time (pre-internet) was its ubiquity, low cost, and easy to decipher sports info. Because of all that, they called it “McNewspaper”.

I just put another batch of mushroom sauce in the freezer, in muffin molds. The first batch was so soft it wouldn’t hold its puck shape, so it’s being stored in a canning jar as a powder. I made the second batch with half stock, half cream, and it also is being stored as a powder. This batch is 80% stock, 20% cream. My chicken stock will hold it’s puck shape, so I have premeasured portion servings, but boy do I have to handle them carefully! I’m interested to see how this batch dries.
I think I’m going to make a quick harvest review of the garden, because I think I have some beans that need pickin’. Then, off to the grocery store. See ya’ later.

I believe what you are referring to Paxton discussed in the Carlson interview, also with Michael Berry. Something about the appeals court preventing him from engaging. Yes, two years ago but you have to remember he has been most of the last year suspended, not allowed to even know what was going on in his office.

Texas Tribune
Dec 15 2021
Texas’ highest court for criminal cases on Wednesday struck down a law that allows the attorney general to unilaterally prosecute election cases.
The state’s Court of Criminal Appeals issued an 8-1 opinion saying a provision of the law violates the separation of powers clause in the Texas Constitution, representing an intrusion by the executive branch into the judicial branch. The attorney general can only get involved in a case when asked to by a district or county attorney, the court said.

Re: 25, 26
In the recent Michael Berry interview, I recall Paxton saying that legislation giving him back the power to unilaterally investigate and prosecute election fraud died in the House this last session. (See Dade Phelan)

I think there is a move to make appellate judges elected via state constitutional amendment, of course the House has had no time for that.

I have to believe an 8-1 opinion would lean towards badly written legislation/legal maneuvers. I have to believe that, this is Texas.

1997 horse incident
In 1997, a horse jumped over a fence and joined the peloton, eventually passing it, leaving the race only 20 km from the finish line.[4] This scene was shown briefly in the movie Amélie, and is often mistaken for a scene from a Tour de France race. – Wiki

GJT and Shannon
From what I read the law passed in the Texas legislature in 1951 gave the authority to the Attorney General’s office to enforce election laws and prosecute violations of same in the State of Texas. It may very well have been poorly conceived and written with regard to the convoluted Texas Constitution which has expanded and been amended beyond recognition since 1951.
Also, considering Texas Democrats have been violating election laws and stealing elections from one another since 1836 and they have given free passes to one another on the issue, it is no surprise there is virtually no record of any prosecutions being filed.
Therefore, there has been no reason for any attentive lawyer to read the Texas Constitution to discover the Attorney General might not have ever had legal authority over election violations in the last 72 years.
It didn’t matter because Democrats, for seven decades, were not enforcing the laws against each other anyway.

Dateline Saint Simon’s Island Georgia and the big news is that it is wet! It rained on us across most of south Georgia and on to the coast but the good news is that it should be cleared out by about 10 PM. We checked out some of the old haunts along with the 2 acres of land where we lived on off Fish Hall Road and that was kinda’ sad. The whole area is built up now, houses everywhere but at least most of them were on 1-2 acres lots. They cut a new road behind our place and it has small lots and newer houses. The airport on SSI is a ghost town only a few corporate planes and some puddle jumpers. The airlines moved over to Glynco the retired Blimp Base. Glynn had just taken possession of it when we lived there in the mid 70’s.
BTW; We just got back from Catch 228 and man was that some fine food. I had Oysters Rockefeller and Shrimp N Grits my wife had peel-um shrimp and blackened Mahi Mahi (sorry Hamous) with roasted taters and some kind of slaw with broccoli and caramelized almonds. I hurt myself! 😉

Sunset tonight comes around 7:20. The sky above is a darkish blue from the areas of rain out here that missed us again. Farther west we see white clouds surrounding a red sunset that seems to come faster these evenings than it did in late summer. It is now red on the horizon and will be gone in a few minutes. This is definitely autumn without the cooler weather. And lovely to watch.

Yes, autumn rolled in here abruptly at Rosh Hashanah right on the calendar time. The high here today was 63 and it has finally stopped raining from Ophelia. At least we get a dry break for the next couple of days. This may have been the wettest year since I’ve been here.

September 26, 2023 at 11:19 amYou mentioned Moorpark so I assume that you know that’s where my son lives? You said that Harris Ranch Supercharger was in Coalingua so I looked it up and it is about 70 Miles NE of Paso Robles, where my son’s outermost store is located so I asked him about it. He said that he’d be in Paso Robles tomorrow but he didn’t have time to head over to Coalingua but there is a diesel powered charging station in Lowes parking lot in Paso Robles.
