Good morning.
Hopefully, the same fate awaits the Harvard and MIT leadership also.

Harvard, UPenn & MIT
The fraud these three women represent is massive. All three are dumber than stump, inarticulate and obviously diversity hires. If it happens at that level you know it runs downhill to the rest of the campus.
Not only can conservative profs not get hired in these intellectual septic tanks, they don’t want to work in these environments and I don’t blame them.
This is a huge national embarrassment.

I watched all of that and of course I wasn’t surprised at the lawyer prepared talking points but it did kinda’ surprise me that they were all female and one was black?! Checking ALL the boxes big time,….Paging El Gordo…..
Welp, it’s Friday and it’s gonna’ be a Good-Un, highs in the 60’s after 40 at 5 AM.
Life is Good!

Also, Iowahawk points out on X in the free speech rankings of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Education (FIRE), Harvard and UPenn rank at the rock solid bottom of 248 higher ed campuses listed nationwide. This makes the whiny, lame claims to commitment to the First Amendment even more pathetic.

The massive suckage of those 3 universities was on full display; the top 5 layers all need to be unemployed forthwith.

Woman arrested after trying to burn down Martin Luther King Jr.’s birth home in Atlanta — stopped by off-duty NYPD officers
The woman, 27, is black. Apparently there simply isn’t enough racism of whites against blacks, so the blacks have to take up the slack. This story will be memory-holed.
I long for the time when people will be judged by the content of their character and behavior, while the color of the skin is deemed totally irrelevant.

#5 Bones WTF?!?!? I do wonder what her motive was. Oh I guess she may have been hoping the “White Supremacist’s” who ever the hell they are would be blamed? ~SPITS~

Had another one of “those” nights. Just getting rolling. Woke up to find text messages from one of our tenants – it seems the toilet overflowed…at 5:00 a.m.
And a POC tried to burn down a POC heritage house?
One and the same…swirling toilets…

SORRY ABOUT THE MISTAKES ☙ Friday, December 8, 2023 ☙ C&C NEWS
Good morning, C&C, it’s Friday! Your catch-up-roundup includes: Boris Johnson annoys British by apologizing that anyone’s feelings were hurt during the government’s covid overreach period, which by all measurements was a spectacular failure; brave president Zelensky chickens-out of Senate hearing on Ukraine funding; Biden says he’s ready to compromise on U.S. border to get some sweet cash for Ukraine; WaPo sells compromise deal; deep-staters scurry out of the woodwork; Blinken argues all the money we’re borrowing to prop up Ukraine a little longer helps our economy; SADS Hollywood producer; SADS celebrity dancer; U.S. military moves into third theater of world war; Hunter Biden indicted over nine income tax charges; three different but related Korean jab studies add fuel to yesterday’s nonsense protein study; and a good-news study that offers hope for, well, some people.
NEWS:
Boris Johnson admits to and apologizes for the mistakes in handling the pandemic. The UK is now holding hearings on such things. I hope the hearings are as brutal as the mishandling of peoples’ lives. The apology is half-hearted: “we may have made mistakes,” etc.
“Can I just say how glad I am to be at this inquiry and how sorry I am for the pain and the loss and the suffering of the Covid victims,” Johnson began. The Independent reported four people were then removed from the hearing room after they held up signs reading, “The Dead can’t hear your apologies.”
/snip
Pressed repeatedly on why the UK had such a high rate of excess deaths – the second-worst in Europe after Italy – Johnson pointed to “headwinds” like an “extremely elderly population” with many health issues — despite the country’s vast socialized healthcare system — and being a “very densely populated country,” which he suggested “did not help.”
And there was some mistakes such as not having enough diversity in some governmental offices. Well, I’m glad those issues were addressed. Of course, the dead and the permanently disabled probably don’t give a rat’s wiss about such things.

This is rich: Biden blames Republicans for the broken border:
No, the standoff isn’t Joe Biden’s fault. Biden blamed the Ukraine funding standoff on … Republicans! Wait, it got better! He then also blamed them for not fixing the broken U.S. border! Here’s how the Hill described how it went down:
President Biden on Wednesday said he’s willing to make “significant compromises” on border policy as he seeks a breakthrough on funding for Ukraine in its fight against Russia.
“Republicans (are) willing to literally kneecap Ukraine on the battlefield and damage our national security in the process,” Biden said. “I am willing to make significant compromises on the border,” he added. “We need to fix the broken border system. It is broken. And thus far I’ve gotten no response.”
This is all tied up in the discussions about Ukraine funding and the Big U’s inevitable fall to Russia.
The news IS bad! Our morons in charge have no “plan B.” Their one and only plan is another 100 billion in round dollars — don’t ask how they calculated that — with no actual military battle plan to win the war or whatever the goal is. Vindman’s tweet was a deep-state hostage demand. In other words, cough up the cash, or Ukraine dies.
If I had a military aged child right now, I think I’d physically sit on them to keep them enlisting. This is madness.

The latest from the Suddenly & Unexpectedly department:
1. Hollywood producer and Forest Whitaker’s ex-wife, Keisha Nash-Whitaker, 51, died suddenly, unexpectedly, and mysteriously yesterday. No cause of death has been released.
2. Dancer and wife of Dancing With The Stars judge Derek Hough, Hayley Erbert, 29, got a little dizzy during Derek’s show in Washington D.C. last night. So they rushed her to the hospital and immediately opened her skull up in an emergency craniotomy.
She had a mysterious cranial hematoma (a burst blood vessel in the brain). She has survived, so far.
Prayers for comfort and healing to the afflicted and their loved ones.

Venezuela makes moves against its neighbor:
Last weekend, Venezuela revived a 200-year-old border dispute over the oil-rich Essequibo region, which has part of neighboring Guyana for well over a century. Venezuela has long claimed to hold the legal right to the Essequibo oil fields. On Sunday, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro raised the stakes by holding a successful referendum over his plan to invade Essequibo.
The long-running dispute over the “Essequibo” region — about two-thirds of Guyana’s territory — is complicated, but really began ‘intensifying’ in 2015 when ExxonMobil discovered vast oil deposits. For some reason, perhaps because the U.S. is already occupied in two other theaters of World War, Maduro decided that right now, while Biden is still President for a year, might be a good time to invade Guyana.
Brazil is sending troops to support Venezuela. Probably some kickback cash in it for them. We’ll be sending zip, because we have zip to send. Venezuela needs the money, ever since Maduro has run their economy into the dirt, so why not?
So, get the oil, jack up the price? Again – why not?

Hunter Biden hit with nine criminal charges. ONLY NINE?!!
Over federal taxes. Not the other obvious crimes.
There’s nothing in the indictment about Hunter’s obvious violations of the Foreign Agent Registration Act, which was deployed against General Mike Flynn over one phone call.
/snip
CNN said Hunter could faces seventeen years in prison if he’s found guilty on all nine counts. I’ll believe that when I see it. My bet is: zero days of jail.
Yeah, I agree. /spits

Someone spit in Mr. C’s Cheerios. He’s a little Trumpian – cross him and he comes out with middle finger metaphorically waving in the air:
Last evening, at the suggestion of an alert commenter, I tweeted yesterday’s complete segment on the Nonsense Protein study….it surprised me by going kind of viral …
This was the report about the spike proteins getting a little ADHD and pumping out proteins willy-nilly, without thinking about how they would affect the body or how they were put together. Silly little spikers! “the adverse effects they would admit to arising from nonsense proteins were inflammation and immune system “flare ups.” “
That was nice to see, but like an evil incantation the post’s success summoned brigades of angry pharma citizen volunteers. …These ‘debunking’ pseudoscientists, whether they are paid trolls or medical fetishists, fussily avoided discussing the merits of the study, but stuck to safe areas like character assassination and robotically repeating their “safe and effective” manta.
I didn’t plan to report on this recent trio of Korean preprint studies. I was going to leave it alone. But the pharma trolls made me do it. Behold three more preprint studies that are very difficult for the jabs, especially in light of the Nonsense Protein study’s findings.
Begin the finger waving: The three studies were published by a group Korean scientists, using the ten million records, which includes vaccinations, that somehow Korea was able to store, unlike the ill-run VAERS database. I think 10M is a good sized dataset to pull from, don’t you?
Each study looked at correlations between the jabs and adverse events. In New Zealand, the whistleblower just released data; in Korea, they also released findings. Buckle up!
STUDY #1: On November 22nd, four Korean scientists published a preprint titled, “Correlation between COVID-19 vaccination and inflammatory musculoskeletal disorders.”
The researchers searched the medical records of 2.2 million patients looking for correlations between jabs and inflammatory diseases of the muscles or skeletal system. Let’s start with the study’s conclusion:
The issues included rotator cuff syndrom, adhesive capsulities, spondylosis, Achilles tendonits, et al, and only for the first three post-jab months, since causation is easier to tie to an event with a short time frame.
***
STUDY #2: Also on November 22nd, five Korean scientists (including several from the prior study) published a second preprint titled, “Hematologic abnormalities after COVID-19 vaccination: A large Korean population-based cohort study.”
They searched the same giant Korean medical database for correlations between mRNA vaccination and blood disorders. Notably, they excluded everyone who died, and they did not look at any already-known adverse effects like vaccine-induced immune thrombosis with thrombocytopenia (VITT).
The scientists found a strong correlation showing a substantially increased risk of certain blood disorders after mRNA vaccination: nutritional anemia, hemolytic anemia, aplastic anemia, coagulation defects, and neutropenia. They specifically found that “Incidence rates of hematologic abnormalities in the vaccination group three months after vaccination were significantly higher than those in the nonvaccinated group.”
Significantly higher.
Blood disorders might not be particularly surprising, but this study was the first large-cohort confirmation of a correlation between the jabs and a wide range of different types of blood disorders not previously recognized.
***
STUDY #3: Finally, the same core group of scientists published their third preprint on the same data analysis, their “kitchen sink” version, titled “The spectrum of non-fatal immune-related adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination: The population-based cohort study in Seoul, South Korea.”
This includes all kinds of illnesses, including dental problems. The time frame was again limited to 90 days post-jab, and excluded certain groups. The scientists noted that a “wide range” of problems were observed in the mRNA jabs but not in the traditional vaccines. Childers points out that our FDA and CDC have somehow failed to find the adverse events (AE) in our database.
Go figger.
Many, many types of adverse events were included within that wide spectrum of medical areas. After analyzing the data, the researchers found a strong correlation in nearly every area between mRNA vaccination and increased risk of an immune-related adverse event, with only a couple exceptions:
Here’s a glossary for the acronyms:
cIR = cumulative incidence rate, or how often something happens
irAEs = immune-related adverse events
HR = hazard ratio, or comparative risks
CI = confidence interval
heterologous vaccination = mixing and matching vaccine brands
So, in other words, both the rate and risk of immune-related adverse events were higher for vaccinated people than unvaccinated folks — in nearly every area they checked. I’m not sure we’ve ever seen anything like this before. This data suggests that the mRNA vaccines make people sicker in nearly every possible way.
Heads should roll. Like, avalanche of heads rolling.

Another S&U story: a 22 year old nurse goes into cardiac arrest.
She was getting training on how to handle cardiac arrest cases. I guess her fellow nurses and doctors got some hands-on practice toute de suite. Like “she has no pulse!” kind of practice.
The cause is mysterious, but fortunately, she seems to have recovered.

I was gonna go yachting today, but seeing as my vessel does not have an enclosed cabin, or even a roof for that matter, I decided that another day might be more pleasant.
Well, that and this annoying head cold I’ve picked up. At least I’m thinking head cold. I may have the novel “Rufus” variant of Kung Flu for all I know. What I do know is that I’m not gonna test for it. Oddly enough, I’m practically a hermit over here. My “”office” is either upstairs here or like 2,000 miles from here in East Hartford (where I have been exactly once). The only time I have any human contact with someone other than Yellow Hair is a once or twice a week trip to your friendly Texas HEB.

Good Morning Hamsters,
Yesterday’s posts were great reading late last night and early this morning. More good stuff today and many thanks to Tedtam for also keeping up with Mr. C’s postings that are great treasures. He is a lawyer who could likely also be an MD if he chose to. There are some rare folks who are both.
We’ve so far had 13/100ths of rain since midnight and continuing dripping mixed with light rain off and on. Our wakeup temp was 67 that’s sneaked up to 70 under cloudy skies and little wind for the moment. But that cold front coming in tonight (or sooner) should arrive with considerable vigor according to the weather guessers. The rain has knocked plenty of acorns off trees that lean over the house and send them rattling over the garden room’s metal roof until they fall off. So we have a rattle-rattle symphony until they fall off the side.
Spouse is off donating blood this morning as he has for quite a few years now. We don’t know how many gallons that would be now. They do send him emails when they need specific blood components rather than whole blood. In that case they take out the part needed and put the rest of the blood back in. In that case the donation time is longer than if only whole blood is taken. He always comes home with a little thank-you gift as well as a record of the donation. I can’t donate blood–I am not big enough.

I’ll be back later. I am leaving to go relieve some tension by shooting some fecal matter up starting with a windows laptop I found. I friggin loathe politics. I am sick and tired of trying to reason with people that want to vote based on lies and the “lesser of two evils” principle.
1. No the democrats do not collect a vote if I vote third party.
2. I no longer can accept the voting for the lesser of two evils. You are voting for evil just the same.
3. and there is so much more.
I am sick and tired of bumper sticker mentality and people that vote based on 30 second sound bites.

Got my rosary prayed and made. Today’s version is a pink knotted item, with the Our Father beads larger and a mottled green/pink/white pattern. I do like making pretty ones, though I need to make more of the masculine variety. Real men pray the rosary, too.
I was watching an interview with Jesse Romero, a spiritual prayer warrior who’s helped out with exorcisms. He reported in this interview that the demons, when faced with multiple people praying the rosary, see something akin to a legion of Roman soldiers banging their shields with their swords. I’m sure that’s intimidating. To the demons.
Doing my part to scare the pee outta the bad guys, on a daily basis. I am now carrying a few rosaries (with instructions) to hand out, and I’m developing a stash for church activities.
It’s what I do.

Spouse bought a charger for our new GM electric Blazer SUV. It is on the wall next to the Blazer’s garage parking space. He had an electrician put in a connection from the far end of the house where the electricity comes in from the pole in the back yard. It is in a small metal pipe through the attic down into the garage wall. For faster charging one needs a 240-circuit that we already had in the house, the stable, and the “carriage house” for the horse trailer and small tractor and stuff. We live in the country and spouse thought that was the best thing to do.
Installation of the $500 charger that spouse bought and work by the electrician to install it cost about $650. Chargers can work on standard 120 circuits but charging takes a really long time spouse says. On the 240 it will take our SUV about 10 hours to fully recharge. Therefore don’t let it get low before recharging unless you have two vehicles with the other one using gasoline. Using a commercial charging station of course can recharge in about 30 minutes or so, but you pay every time you need it. How much that costs I don’t know. GM charging stations apparently give preference to GM vehicles in making appointments for charging, at least that was in a newspaper article in The Chron today.
So this is our experience thus far with having a charger at home. We haven’t had it long enough to see what it has done to the light bill. But regarding convenience it seems to be working quite well. I hope this is helpful info. And it takes a while to get used to no noise at all when you start the engine. It’s quiet like a golf cart. I have not driven it yet, not even down the driveway. Too much new stuff on it, so I will wait until spouse has nailed all the new stuff before I try anything more than opening a door on it. 🙂

The 96 year old mother of a very good friend of mine died Wednesday night and the funeral was today. The procedure of Jewish funerals had a big change here since the Covid fiasco. Once the lockdowns started here in Bergen County, New Jersey before they spread across the nation, all Jewish funerals were held in the chapels of funeral homes and then there was the procession to the cemetery with brief ceremonies there.
Jewish funerals are never held in synagogues.
With the lockdowns of public gatherings, funeral services were prohibited in the funeral homes so all of the services were shortened (sort of) and everything took place graveside. Once the lockdowns were lifted, nothing seems to have changed and all the Jewish funerals here are held entirely in the cemetery.
I have noticed this before and thought this practice would revert back to the old way, but it has not so far and I’m sure this makes a dent in the funeral home fees and income. We’ve had three mild winters in a row, but if we start having heavy snows again, it will be interesting to see what happens when it is almost physically impossible to have all these people standing outside for over an hour in a cemetery.

Honestly, I hate the Red Cross. They are obnoxious, bigoted hypocrites.
The parents of an Israeli being held hostage by Hamas were reprimanded by representatives of the Red Cross after they tried to ask the Red Cross to transfer prescription medication to their child. The Red Cross told them they needed to “think about the Palestinian side. It’s hard for the Palestinians, they’re being bombed.” The Red Cross did not agree to transfer the medication to the Israeli hostage! “We left there as we entered: without new information, without something new, and with disappointment,” said the mom of the civilian hostage. Doron Steinbrecher is a veterinarian nurse. She is 30 years old. She has been held captive for 63 days now without access to her prescription medication.
This is a post by attorney Marina Melvin who has represented a number of January 6th defendants. She is a Russian immigrant and naturalized American citizen who received her law degree from the Antonin Scalia School of Law at George Mason University.

death of the west. A book written 22 years ago.
and now it’s quite common to see women here dressed the same way.
it’s impossible to import millions and millions that believe in a religion that’s diametrically opposed to the west and stay afloat.
couple that with the destruction caused by the open borders Kenyan administration III and the iceberg will be struck and the ship will be sunk.
imagine if Iran, Syria or Iraq kept importing millions and millions of Irish Catholics from Ireland, fundamentalist Baptists from Alabama and hard rocking Kiss fans from everywhere.

On the way home from visiting our dad in the hospital we ran across a James Coney Island, been awhile and it sounded good so we stopped in. James Coney Island is no longer for the poor folk. At least there were no beans.

Shannon @ 7:34 PM
It was a 1980 Buick Riviera with that really bad turbo-charged 3.8 Litre 6 cylinder. It caught fire on FM 529 on the way to Bellville and burned to the ground. The first time it caught fire outside of Bellville a few months earlier I was able to put the fire out quickly. The damage was repaired, insurance paid, but it was not enough to save that junk engine.
I love the body style, but if I restored one I would definitely replace that engine.

I thought all of the James Coney Island were gone.
As for Squawk’s comments, anyone who was a lifelong fan of the place knows that you could always get the chili with or without beans.
I made some homemade Frito pie the other night. While dreaming of the James Coney version.

The original James Coney Island location opened in 1923 in downtown Houston, three years before my mother was born.

I love making Frito Pie with the recipe from the Wolf Brand Chili can Mama sealed to a recipe card with clear packing tape… “How long’s it been since you had a … Now that’s too long” And it’s perfect on a cold night because it’s baked, so the heat from the oven helps knock back the chill… I was always so disappointed when I got “Frito pie” at the snack bar at school because it was just a slit open bag of Fritos with a ladle of chili poured in, and cheese was extra…

I love James Coney Island. Next to a hot dog that has been boiling 3/4 of the baseball season at Wrigley’s field topped with everything including the kitchen sink JCI hotdogs are the best.
-
Personally, the best hotdogs are grilled on my grill, with blackened marks all the way around. And the bun is toasted. And the mustard is brown. And the chili is Fay’s. With onions and sharp cheddar.
And only Commies put ketchup on their hotdogs.

But I admit, I’d really like to have an original Philly Cheese Steak.
