How I feel when sanctuary cities start fussing about Abbott’s buses:

Of course, Biden is trafficking a heckuva lot more than Texas buses can carry.

But that’s just me.

    Tornado damage in Panama City emerges as drones hit the sky following severe weather.

    On January 9, 2024, a tornado hit Panama City Beach, Florida, causing extensive damage to the area. The National Weather Service confirmed the tornado, while there were multiple reports of tornados across the region. The tornado touched down in an unincorporated area of Panama City Beach known as Lower Grand Lagoon, which has a population of about 5,000 and is a popular tourist area known for water-based activities including boating, diving, and fishing. No injuries have been reported so far.
    The tornado caused heavy damage, demolishing buildings and moving others off their foundations. The eastern side of the Florida beach, including the Thomas Drive area, underwent significant damage following the suspected tornado. The storm debris was strewn across parts of Panama City. Photos and videos show extensive damage to the area, with some buildings demolished and others tilted about 15 degrees to one side.
    The tornado watch remains in effect across southeastern Alabama and through the Florida Panhandle into Georgia until 2 p.m. Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service. Stay safe and stay informed!

    I only heard about this late in the day. We had some high winds but only have a bunch of limbs down all over the place and no tornadoes up our way.
    32 here a fair after a sunny 60 degrees day yesterday. The sun made it our by noon and warmed thing up pretty good but the 10-15 MPH wind made it pretty cool outside.
    SO! Mornin’ Gang

    From last night:

    By the way, the hospital tried to bill Medicare $15,875 per day for my stay there.  LOL.

    Soooo… just a friendly reminder that CMS (Medicare/Medicaid) is currently the largest item in the federal budget at ~ $1.72 trillion and counting (quickly).  It’s ~ 85% unfunded.  The fourth largest item in the federal budget is interest on the debt at ~ $727 billion and also counting, but even more quickly than any of the other 3 largest budget items.  Call me a fringe kook if you will, but seeing something go parabolic before your very eyes should be a wake up call for any tax paying citizen of this country.  It probably won’t be until it’s too late, but it should.  Seeing this unravel over the next few years is going to be interesting to say the least.

    I respect hurricanes, but I hate tornados.  It is the only weather phenomena that puts fear into me.  I’ve lived through a couple of hurricanes that generated tornados all around me but I never took a direct hit.

    I’ll never forget driving around after Hurricane Alicia in 1983.  There were numerous places in Austin and Waller counties where you would see maybe a 30 acre patch of woods in which every tree was topped off at 40 feet as if someone took a giant chain saw across the whole pasture.

    If you’ve ever sat in the wing seat of a plane, you probably noticed that there’s a lot of activity going on out there. Flaps, slats, ailerons, spoilers all go into motion, while unseen on the tail of the plane the elevators and rudder play their part. It’s all very dramatic, but it also involves a complex symphony of machinery and control systems to make it all work.

    Using AFC actuators, DARPA hopes to one day replace all these expensive, weighty control surfaces with a much simpler system that depends on jets of air to do the same thing. Instead of moving control surfaces, an AFC system uses an array of nozzles installed on the following edges of the airfoils. By shooting compressed air out of these nozzles, they can change the air pressure in the vicinity and alter the air flow over the airfoil. In this way, the system can change the roll, pitch, and yaw of the aircraft.

    The amazing skunkworks at DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) gives me a tiny sense of satisfaction our government actually does constructive good things.  If I were in charge of cutting the executive branch of the federal government, DARPA would be one thing I would save.

    By the way, DARPA was a Republican idea created by President Eisenhower in 1958 after the Soviets launched Sputnik.  I remember, as a six year old, how preoccupied the adults around me were with Russians entering space ahead of the USA.  Texas’ seven year drought, the French-Algerian War and Sputnik were things I still recall from TV news and especially the newsreels.  The newsreels were produced and delivered  in a way that made a huge impression on a small child.

    Heh… yeah… know what you mean.  When Mrs. was going through her many procedures we laughed (in a grimacing way) about her being the $2 million dollar woman; not that we paid that ourselves.  They always bill for an amount grossly over what they know they will actually get.  Same shtick w/ private insurance (BCBS in our case) as it is with CMS.  You gotta wonder… at some point either we stop the madness or the madness stops us.

    Here’s a better synopsis of the SS.

    House Oversight Hearing Turns Raucous When Hunter Biden Makes Unexpected Appearance.

    The Fox News chyron blared, “Tempers flare as Hunter Biden crashes contempt hearing.” But on Wednesday, the network was joined by the two other major news networks in focusing on the legal travails of the president’s son.

    Biden unexpectedly made an appearance at the House Oversight Committee‘s hearing on whether to hold him in contempt after he declined to show for a behind-closed-doors congressional deposition last month. Instead, Hunter Biden said that he was willing to testify in the open.

    “What you are watching is pure congressional mayhem,” CNN anchor John Berman told viewers of the scene.

    At the hearing, Republican members appeared to be taken off guard by Biden’s appearance.

    As Biden sat in the gallery, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) said to him, “My first question is, Who bribed Hunter Biden to be here. My second question is, you are the epitome of white privilege. Coming into the Oversight Committee, spitting in our face, ignoring a congressional subpoena to be deposed. What are you afraid of? You have no balls, to come here and…”

    She was then interrupted by Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL), who said, “Let’s take a vote and hear from Hunter Biden.”

    Mace then said, “I think that Hunter Biden should be arrested right here and right now and go straight to jail.”

    As chaotic as the moment was, it was all political theater, as Republicans have highlighted Hunter Biden’s business deals in an effort to tarnish his father the president, who himself faces an impeachment inquiry. Democrats, meanwhile, have pointed out that Republican members ignored subpoenas from the January 6th Committee.

    Moskowitz then asked for a show of hands of members who wanted to hear from Biden. Only one or two members of the committee raised their hands.

    Biden left the hearing after about a half hour. His attorney, Abbe Lowell, told reporters that Republicans “are commandeering an unprecedented resolution to hold someone in contempt who has offered to testify publicly, who has offered to publicly answer all of their proper questions.”

    When Ike came through I spent all day moving stuff from the old house to the Dome.  We were hoping to take a tree through the hold house so we could collect on insurance, but – no. /sigh

    I had worn my legs to nubs trekking back and forth all day, moving bedding, clothing, food, etc.  Barf Kitty was the last trip of the day, as it started to rain. The Dome was far from being finished, so I hadn’t planned on making this permanent (but Hubby did, dangit); I simply didn’t want to lose our belongings in case the desired tree made its appearance.  I literally felt like my legs were ending in bloody stumps at the ankles by the time I called it quits.

    Because I had no desire to carry everything up the stairs and sleep with Hubby that night, I took all of the bedding not assigned to bedrooms and camped out on the living room floor.  I had the TV on, watching the progression of the storm in all its glory.

    About 1:00 a.m., there was a weird whining sound that must’ve been coming through the electrical wires.  I’ve never heard anything like before or since.  Then everything went dark.

    The next day, there were a series of trees a few streets north of us where the tops had been twisted off.

    It was another late night/morning.  I need to set an alarm to make sure I get up early tomorrow, since I have a dental appointment first thing in the morning.    I was drinking coffee and stringing beads when Handsome Son called, wanting to “borrow” my heating pad.  (I put borrow in quotes because his history of returning items is abysmal at best.)  He really pulled a calf muscle yesterday, and since his wife is in Florida, it falls to his Momma to help take care of him.  I “loaned” him his Daddy’s crutches, too.

    His work told him to go home, so I told him to be sure to use ice as well as the heating pad, and he reassured me he had easy to heat up food.

    I was on a roll, so I made two rosaries as I prayed one and listened to my Catholic podcasters.  The word “heresy” has now been publicly used in connection with pachapapa’s name, so there’s that little firestorm brewing.  Hubby called – he and Handyman are working on the local vacancy, the one that’s going to need to be rebuilt.  He told me that I *really* don’t want to be over there, so don’t come over to review the condition of the unit.  Hubby’s been working with rentals since he was a kid, working with/for his parents.  He’s seen some bad stuff.  For him to warn me off – it must be pretty bad.

    How can people live like that????

    So, now that I’ve taken care of God, Handsome, and talked to Hubby…

    DOUBLE TROUBLE ☙ Wednesday, January 10, 2024 ☙ C&C NEWS

    Good morning, C&C family, it’s Wednesday! Your roundup today includes: Pentagon dribbles a little more information about AWOL Lloyd Austin and I will give you one guess whether it sounds even more like a jab injury or whether it ruled out jab involvement; former Babylon Bee writer’s atypical medical misadventure; another A-list actor SADS turbo cancer; Ukraine takes the next logical step and orders fashionable female combat wear; non-insurrectionist Ray Epps sentenced with a slap on the wrist; and a safe and effective genetic cancer therapy surprisingly shows long-term cancer-causing effects.

    News:

    Mr. C. does a quick dissection of the Defense Secretary’s illness symptoms and timeline, and makes some guesses that it’s possible the jab had something to do with it.  Also, another military official has suddenly come down with a cardiac issue.   It’s not a “yawn” issue, but the frequency with which these sudden illnesses are popping up is getting to be routine.

    Next:

    More from the Suddenly & Unexpectedly Department, the non-military division:

    Frank Fleming, who used to work for the Babylon Bee and now works at Daily Wire, got the jab and is now having “medical misadventures”.

    Here’s how it’s going. Last summer, Frank got two different types of cancer at the same time, which is pretty unusual. He had them both surgically removed last month. Both cancers were atypical cancers. They still don’t know what’s going on with him:

    /snip

    It’s like half a year later, and I had surgery in December to remove two tumors, and I still don’t really know what’s going on. The week before the trip, I went to the doctor.
    He told me it looked like I had two different tumors, one in my pelvis and one on my liver in the gallbladder fossa (the groove in my liver where the gallbladder used to be). So, the suspicion is I have some sort of metastatic cancer. The weird thing, though, is that the liver and pelvis are kind of far apart, and there was no indication of tumors anywhere in between.
    The Mayo Clinic finally got back on the pathology, and they were completely stumped, calling the (liver) tumor an “unknown epithelioid tumor.” At this point, my oncologist tells me I’m his toughest case in several years.
    My urologist tells me that the tumor on my seminal vesicles is extremely rare (he’s only dealt with two in his twenty years), but, whatever, they’ll cut it out.  It ends up the tumor in my pelvis was not connected to my seminal vesicles. In fact, it was not connected to anything. It was just floating loose in the fatty tissue. The surgeon says he had never seen anything like that before (fun!).

    I’ve never heard of a free floating tumor before.  The two unrelated cancers have been removed, and I pray for his complete recovery, without recurrence of any more atypical cancers.

    ***

    Adan Canto has succumbed to his “ultra rare, atypical appendiceal cancer”.  He was only 42.  He played in shows: “The Cleaning Lady,” “Designated Survivor,” and “Narcos”.  He also starred in an X-Men movie.  He leaves behind a lovely family.  Prayers to them as well.

    ***

    And the death of Sinead O’Conner has been ruled “natural causes,” and that her S&U death had nothing to do with suicide.

    ***

    Prayers for the peaceful repose of their souls, and comfort for their loved ones.

    Ray Epps/J6 news:

     Politico ran a story yesterday headlined, “Ray Epps, pro-Trump rioter smeared by conspiracy theories, gets probation for role in Capitol riot.” James Ray Epps, Sr., the only January 6th protestor to actually encourage people to go into the Capitol, including saying “we’re here to storm the Capitol,” and who texted his nephew claiming to have “orchestrated” the Capitol riot, was harshly sentenced in DC court yesterday, as he deserved. Epps’s hard sentence was: a year probation, a $500 fine, and a 100 hours of community service, which he may perform, at his option, at other conservative rallies or at the FBI’s regional field office. Haha, I made up that last part. But sadly, not the rest.

    The Chief Judge of the U.S. District Court in Washington, DC,  James Boasberg, wrestled with the difficult decision,…Then he tossed the felony charges and gave Epps misdemeanor probation, because, and I am not making this up, he felt Epps had suffered enough from deranged Trump supporters who kept throwing Epps’s own words and actions in his face.

    /snip

    In other words, Ray has already been punished.

    There have been so many J6 cases it’s impossible to keep up with them all. But I think this might be the lightest sentence given to any January 6th defendant, including people sentenced who weren’t even in DC on January 6. …

    The Court also granted Epps’ motion to attend his sentencing hearing by phone. He didn’t even have to go down there. I probably don’t need to tell you that is highly irregular. (From what I can tell, for some reason, Epps thought he might be served with one or more subpoenas if he attended in person.)

    /snip

    My speculation is this sideshow was meant to resolve Epps’ criminal liability, in case a new administration takes over in January with a different prosecutorial appetite. Now that he’s been sentenced for his “crimes,” Ray cannot be re-tried on the same grounds. …

    But Ray does not benefit from double-jeopardy for anything other crimes. And the shadowy, so-far unnamed people who gave Ray his orders, those people aren’t protected by this little circus. Theoretically, and I recognize this is a long shot, but Ray’s bosses could also be prosecuted for run-of-the-mill J6 offenses on a conspiracy theory. Think of a trespassing charge for every person who entered the Capitol on January 6th, with sentences to run sequentially.   

    The treatment of the J6 defendants is beyond my ken.

    The “Newtown Action Alliance,” yet another gun control shill group funded by dark money came out minutes after news of the Perry, Iowa, mass casualty incident. The turn to their well-worn playbook to screech, “if Congress just passed a ban on popular self-defense firearms and the magazines that feed them we could all live happily ever after.”

    Nevermind that the killer was reportedly a transgendered misfit who stormed the school early in the morning, through the front door, before classes began.  And that he didn’t have one of those scary black guns, but rather a pump-action shotgun and a handgun.

    plus this,

    For those keeping track, a majority of school shootings take place first thing in the morning and they originate at or near the front entrance, in part because that’s often where large groups will form.

    And this one fell right into that pattern.

    Unfortunately, the small-town school didn’t have a school resource officer or any armed staff handy to engage the transgendered would-be mass murderer. They didn’t even have a staffer that should have identified someone walking in with something long – like a shotgun – concealed in a bag and intercepted him prior to the shooting.

    It took seven minutes for the first responding officer to arrive to confront the misfit. In that time he killed a sixth grader and wounded several others. When faced with armed resistance, the school shooter folded like a cheap suit, suck starting one of his guns.

    Too bad Perry, Iowa, didn’t have an armed school resource officer present that day.

    From the comments:

    Basically:

    Iowa made armed teachers and school staff legal. Unfortunately, the anti-gun insurance company told them if they were armed they would lose their coverage and forced them not to be armed by threatening them with loss of their coverage. As a result, there were no armed teachers or school staff and this mentally ill killer found out about that and exploited it.

    Now the insurance company for the Iowa schools is gonna be on the hook for millions of $$$ because they specifically, by their actions, removed a mitigating factor of the teachers and school staff being armed thus created a hazard.

    Once again, anti-gun kills and injures.

    If the insurance company is liable that could change a lot of the process once damages are awarded and factored into risk management.

    The people in Perry, Iowa should sue the insurance companies who refused to issue policies to their district because faculty and staff were legally authorized to carry weapons under Iowa and federal laws.

    Sue them to hell and back.

    Now to the subject of a poor, small town in Iowa.  Perry is not poor.  There are 8,000 residents and most all of them are middle class.  It is a very stable community with a modest household income of $58K and average homes costing $110K.

    They have a library, beautiful parks and a fancy indoor swimming pool with fitness center, whirlpool, saunas and pilates classes.

    Does this sound like a town that can’t afford armed guards at their schools during classes ?

    And a new revelation on the medical “let’s modify your cells for your own good” front:

    …It’s true; a whole category of cancer-fighting, “individualized” genetic treatments that the FDA previously found safe and effective are now suspected of causing cancer. Can you believe that?

    /snip

    Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, or “CAR-T,” is a personalized treatment that genetically engineers a cancer patient’s own immune cells, re-programming them with a new gene (the chimeric antigen receptor) designed to target and destroy their malignant cancer cells. The patient’s own T-cells are extracted, genetically modified in the lab, and then re-injected back into the patient to go off and fight with cancer. Another words, T-cells are deliberately mutated into CAR-T cells.

    I don’t fault the medical community for trying to find therapies that will cure disease, but do they test these techniques thoroughly before putting them into people?

    At November’s end, the FDA announced investigations of blood cancer cases related to this therapy.  The pro-CAR-T folks are flooding the media arena in an attempt to salvage the treatment.

    Gee….that vaguely reminds of something else….what was it???  /sarc off

    … But a rapidly-procured, pro-pharma study published yesterday in Nature Medicine concluded that, notwithstanding the risk of new cancer, “the benefits of CAR-T therapies continue to outweigh the potential risks in the vast majority of cases.”

    Risk/benefit analysis is tricky; it is highly subjective. It’s impossible to make a risk/benefit decision for someone else. At least, the world would be a much different place if you could. Bank: we decided to invest all your money in digital John Fetterman artwork. You can thank us later.

    The bottom line is an entire generation of promising “individualized” genetically-based cancer treatments have been found to cause other cancers, and the genetic treatment is now at risk. Pharma is fighting back, and who knows how it will shake out. The point is: unexpected long-term injuries from any new drugs exist, and that is probably even more true with new, high-tech genetic therapies.

    Here’s praying for the afflicted and for wisdom and compassion for the healing profession.

    HEADLINE: BREAKING: Judge Arthur Engoron bans Trump from speaking or giving closing remarks at his civil trial in NY

    How is this guy still a judge at all?  A sane person would make the case that the judge is hopelessly biased and get change of venue.  Perhaps they, Trump and his lawyer, want the flagrantly flawed trial to go forward so that they can in turn go after the judge?  Or they want the entire case tossed on appeal with prejudice?  One way or the other, this crapola has to stop or there will be massive bloodshed – our Republic can not stand otherwise.

    As I understand things, judges enjoy absolute immunity for their actions in their courtroom.

    That said, maybe this just makes it hugely appealable.

    Maybe judge is avoiding taking any responsibility whatsoever for this farce.

    otoh, maybe the defendant making his own statement is against rules. Only the attorneys can speak?

    RE: Trump’s NYC trial

    It is highly unusual, but not unprecedented for a judge to allow a defendant to speak in closing arguments under very strict rules.

    It’s especially unusual when the defendant has never been sworn in under oath. Trump refused to agree to abide by the strict rules Judge Engoron placed on his potential speech so the judge cancelled the deal.

    This particular judge is a prima donna fool who made the mistake of first allowing Trump to speak and then changing his mind at the last minute.  It only follows the ridiculous trend of judicial embarrassment this clown has conducted from day one.

    It is NOT a normal case of denying a defendant a right to defend himself.  His attorneys have been there as his advocate and proxy speaking for and  defending Trump throughout this kangaroo court.

    I see a headline that Christie is dropping out of the race.

    He was running only on pure hate and rage; I don’t know how he managed to stay in this long.

    Yup all did did was hate on Trump nothing on his policy and never went after Biden. Pitiful,…jus pitiful.

    This was a big surprise to me;

    Legendary Alabama coach Nick Saban announces retirement after 17 seasons.

    TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Alabama’s Nick Saban, who has won more college football national championships than any coach in the modern era, announced his retirement on Wednesday.

    “The University of Alabama has been a very special place to Terry and me,” Saban said. “We have enjoyed every minute of our 17 years being the head coach at Alabama as well as becoming a part of the Tuscaloosa community. It is not just about how many games we won and lost, but it’s about the legacy and how we went about it. We always tried to do it the right way. The goal was always to help players create more value for their future, be the best player they could be and be more successful in life because they were part of the program. Hopefully, we have done that, and we will always consider Alabama our home.”

    The man has worked under incredible pressure for decades.  Have you looked at him over the last two years ?

    Nick is tired and you can see it in his eyes and the deep lines of his face.

    the Jersey Jelly roll found out there’s a jelly donut shortage in Iowa and it petrified him enough to make him drop out.

    He was caught on a hot mic saying sticky Nikki will get smoked.
