A Caution
Just remember…we might replace the RINO candidates. (Or we might not. The record is mixed even though there is more MAGA than there used to be.) But that will make no difference in the long run if the party officials, basically the Rhonna McDaniels (or however that’s spelled–I suspect it’s RINO), don’t get replaced.
State party chairs, vice chairs, secretaries and so on, and the same at county levels, have huge influence on who ultimately gets nominated, and if these party wheelhorses are RINOs, they will work tirelessly to put their own pukey people on the ballot. In fact I’d not be surprised if some of our “MAGA” candidates are in fact, RINO plants, encouraged to run by the RINO party leadership when they realized that Lyn Cheney (and her ilk) were hopelessly compromised as effective candidates. The best way for them to deal with the opposition, of course, is to run it themselves.
Running good candidates is only HALF of the battle!
SPECIAL SECTION: Message For Our “Friends” In The Middle Kingdom
I normally save this for near the end, but…basically…up your shit-kicking barbarian asses. Yes, barbarian! It took a bunch of sailors in Western Asia to invent a real alphabet instead of badly drawn cartoons to write with. So much for your “civilization.”
Yeah, the WORLD noticed you had to borrow the Latin alphabet to make Pinyin. Like with every other idea you had to steal from us “Foreign Devils” since you rammed your heads up your asses five centuries ago, you sure managed to bastardize it badly in the process.
Have you stopped eating bats yet? Are you shit-kickers still sleeping with farm animals?
Or maybe even just had the slightest inkling of treating lives as something you don’t just casually dispose of?
中国是个混蛋 !!!

China is asshoe !!!
And here’s my response to barbarian “asshoes” like you:
OK, with that rant out of my system…
Biden Gives Us Too Much Credit
…we can move on to the next one.
Apparently Biden (or his puppeteer) has decided we’re to blame for all of the fail in the United States today.
Sorry to disappoint you Joe (or whoever), but you managed to do that all on your own; not only that, you wouldn’t let us NOT give you the chance because you insisted on cheating your way into power.
Yep, you-all are incompetent, and so proud of it you expect our applause for your sincerity. Fuck that!!
It wouldn’t be so bad, but you insist that everyone else have to share in your misery. Nope, can’t have anyone get out from under it. Somehow your grand vision only works if every single other person on earth is forced to go along. So much as ONE PERSON not going along is enough to make it all fail, apparently.
In engineering school we’re taught that a design that has seven to eight billion single points of failure…sucks.
Actually, we weren’t taught that. Because it would never have occurred to the professors to use such a ridiculous example.
Justice Must Be Done.
The prior election must be acknowledged as fraudulent, and steps must be taken to prosecute the fraudsters and restore integrity to the system.

OK now for the fine print.
This is the WQTH Daily Thread. You know the drill. There’s no Poltical correctness, but civility is a requirement. There are Important Guidelines, here, with an addendum on 20191110.
We have a new board – called The U Tree – where people can take each other to the woodshed without fear of censorship or moderation.
And remember Wheatie’s Rules:
1. No food fights

Spot Prices
All prices are Kitco Ask, 3PM MT Friday (at that time the markets close for the weekend).
Last Week:
Gold $1,866.70
Silver $23.92
Platinum $1,100.00
Palladium $1,889.00
Rhodium $13,250.00
So here it is, Friday, 3PM MT after markets closed and we see:
Gold $1,921,60
Silver $24.38
Platinum $1,073.00
Palladium $1,863.00
Rhodium $13,000.00
Gold is going somewhere–we’re not at record levels (~$2070), but at the rate things are going it won’t be long, unless of course it reverses course (let’s face it: “they” will do their darndest to make that happen). Silver is too, though not as much. The others…not very much at all. This looks like the prime “pusher” is people worried about the economy. They will tend to pick gold over silver…and the other metals won’t share in that.
My gut feel is that it will end up dropping again, hard. If I am wrong and the dollar is going to collapse to the point where you can pay off your house with a silver dime because silver is at a million toilet-paper bucks an ounce…well, so be it.
If inflation gets THAT bad, expect your credit card companies to amend their agreements so as to index your balance to inflation. And certainly any other new loan. But old car and house loans cannot be amended!
How Far Are the Stars?
Thanks to Hollywood, it’s easy to imagine that since we’ve gone to the Moon (and yes, we have gone to the Moon), the planets are just one step away–one we inexplicably didn’t just take right after Apollo–and the stars one more step after that.
The moon’s orbit’s semi-major axis (which is one half of the length of the elliptical orbit, measured across the longest part; this serves as a good average distance) is 384,399 kilometers. But you should subtract the earth’s radius from that, as well as the moon’s, as it’s center-to-center. Let’s call it, very roughly, 375,000 kilometers.
Compare that to the distance between the earth and the sun, one “astronomical unit” of 149,597,870.7 kilometers. It’s 398.9 times as far…call it four hundred times. And these are the sorts of distances we’d have to travel to get to Mars. Sure it gets closer to us than 150 million kilometers, but we would not be traveling that shortest distance; we’d be using a “Hohmann Transfer” or something very similar to that (because it would take a lot less delta-V to do that; i.e, a lot less fuel), and that would easily be over 300 million kilometers.
Traveling 400-800 times as far is not a “small step.”
Compare Columbus traveling 3000 miles or so (one way) to the sorts of things people did before him, where they hugged the coastline but often traveled thousands of miles. Comparatively speaking, that’s a much smaller jump than going to Mars, having gone to the Moon, would be.
This is in large part why we’ve been doing everything with robot probes. It takes them as long as it would take astronauts, but they don’t have to bring along food and life support for months or years of travel…so that makes it possible to do it with smaller rockets…smaller meaning rockets smaller than a mountain.
Neptune, the outermost planet, is at about 30 AUs distance; that’s a 15-fold jump over a trip to Mars. Significant, especially when you consider the time it would take, but not that big a jump from getting to Mars. If we can start sending people to Mars, it won’t be that much harder to go other places (assuming there’s something there at the other end that’s not instantly lethal…and let’s face it Jupiter’s moons are mostly close enough to Jupiter’s radiation belts that astronauts would be broiled alive without a lot of heavy shielding…and that word “heavy” is a deal breaker). But, nonetheless, the planets are at similar distances to each other…compared to the jump it will be to go from moon travel to planetary travel.
What about the stars?
Proxima Centuari is the nearest star. And it is 268,000 AUs away. In other words it’s basically ten thousand times as far as Neptune.
We could have Southwest Spaceways running daily (except when their computers go tango uniform) trips to Neptune for tourists…and we’d be nowhere near ready for star travel. For a number of reasons, the main one of which would be having to go a thousand times as fast just to get there in a lifetime. But that’s just a consequence of the YUGE jump in distance.
That day we first set out for the stars, will represent a “giant leap for mankind” bigger than everything before it, put together.

This is a conceptual introduction to calculus; the meat of it starts about three minutes in–assuming, of course, that it posts at all! There’s no actual math drudgery involved for the conceptual part (though he does start flinging it at you around 12 minutes or so), though you do need to understand graphs. You should come out of it with an understanding of what integration and differentiation are, even if you don’t actually know how to do them.

China is asshoe !!!
China is in the White House
Since Wednesday, January 20 at Noon EST, the bought-and-paid for His Fraudulency Joseph Biden has been in the White House. It’s as good as having China in the Oval Office.
Joe Biden is Asshoe
China is in the White House, because Joe Biden is in the White House, and Joe Biden is identically equal to China. China is Asshoe. Therefore, Joe Biden is Asshoe.
But of course the much more important thing to realize:
Joe Biden Didn’t Win
乔*拜登没赢 !!!
Qiáo Bài dēng méi yíng !!!
Joe Biden didn’t win !!!
South Dakota – Grass roots came so close to getting MAGAs elected that RINO establishment (Thune) was pizzled and they’re voting behind closed doors tomorrow to change rules to prevent them from doing it next time. 🤬
Bernie Marcus (Home Depot) endorsed Harmeet. He’s the money man, all the others will follow his lead, so Harmeet is gonna de-throne Ronna. 🤸♀️🤸♀️ Sure wish she’d keep Lindell on as an advisor for Branding, Marketing, etc. He’s a Master, has really good ideas. I like Harmeet, so we’ll see. Some Dude thinks she’s too focused on the money.
GO GOLD!!! 🤸♀️🤸♀️🤸♀️

Dayum! It worked!
Let me try one…
Well, Lookie there 🙂
Welcome to the Grand illusion
Come on in and see what’s happening
Pay the price, get your tickets for the show
The stage is set, the band starts playing
Suddenly your heart is pounding
Wishing secretly you were a star
But don’t be fooled by the radio
The TV or the magazines
They show you photographs of how your life should be
But they’re just someone else’s fantasy
So if you think your life is complete confusion
Because you never win the game
Just remember that it’s a grand illusion
And deep inside we’re all the same
We’re all the same
I think some people are trying to look like that today, not realizing that life isn’t a picture show.
The Millennial generation is desperately seeking RELEVANCE.
My youngest son, on the cusp of Gen Z and Millennial, talked to me about this a few days ago. He sees it.
The Greatest Generation had WWII. The Boomers had counterculture and the Vietnam War protests. Gen X (me) had the “slacker cool” phenomenon.
Millennials are irrelevant in their own minds. They can’t find a zeitgeist. According to my son, they are ruined (his word). The authors of The Fourth Turning define Millennials as a Third Turning generation, which is one of “unraveling.” And it feels that way, doesn’t it? Like the culture is falling apart?
The only part of the Fourth Turning theory I disagree with is the span of the Millennial generation. They say it lasts until people born after 2004. But I don’t see it that way. The group I consider to be true Millennials stops at about 1995. They are all now in their very late twenties to thirties. All of my son’s mid-twenties aged friends do NOT act like the Millennials. They are different. They blend in with the Gen Z cohort much more readily.
My spawn is a millenial but he sure doesn’t act like one.
A little, maybe. Well, not that much. 🤔
Good raising.
It’s a GRAND ILLUSION
Thanks Wolfie, 01-14 is even better!! 😂
Still needed fixing when I saw it, what did wolfie do?
The Header on page is fixed 01.14, but it’s still jacked in the URL 12-10
Got it!
Yep, it magically corrected when I refreshed! You fast!!
WordPress keeps moving the places I have to fix things, but I know they’re somewhere!
I knew about the URL, but didn’t know if I could fix it.
OBTW last week’s url is wrong too…I misdated the column for the 6th, but I caught the goof before anyone else did and fixed the title.
Got it!
FYI… My notification bell works again 🙂
🤸♀️ 🤸♀️ 🤸♀️
It hasn’t worked for over a month…. Now it does 🙂
So Mr. Steve fixed the header and Wolfie fixed the 2nd part of the URL.
GREAT TEAM WORK!!!
My work is done, Ni Ni everyone. 🥱😴
Double nickels to you as well!
I just edited the URL for final cleanup. You got the header!
The Q Tree — A Collaborative Blog…..
Distributed computing at its best
LOL, I was looking at the 1st part of the URL and saw 1/14 when I typed this and assumed Wolf fixed it.
Yeah, that’s the publication time, which (at least) I did actually get right…not like last New Year’s!
New Years??? YOU HAD ONE JOB DON LEMON!! BWAHAHAHA!!!😂🤣🤣
Well, CRAP. Thanks for the ping on my goof.
What goof? 😜
I’m 2-0 on fixes tonight. 🤸♀️ 🤸♀️
Midnight Snack? 😋
You know, I actually DIDN’T have bacon last weekend.
I had bought salmon patties from someplace, and forgot about them. The garage is cool, but not cool enough to keep them from defrosting. So I ended up binging on salmon patties last weekend.
Not bad, but not bacon.
Ah, but with bacon…..
It’s perfectly fine for Harmeet to be focused on the money, because money is necessary if we want to win. If it wasn’t, Zuckerbucks would be irrelevant.
Will she SPEND the money on the RIGHT THINGS, that is the question.
Yep – don’t get why people automatically go there when money backs a potential winner. Money became money for a reason. Money backs winners that benefits them. Money sided with Ronna until money got tired of losing.
it’s what they do with it that matters.
Spot on.
Harmeet wants it too much. Zero trust.
Each one of them wants it. Reasons may vary.
I’ll trust Harmeet’s reasons over Ronna’s!!!
💯❗
And Lindell’s over Harmeet’s‼‼
Except that Mike MyPillow is not going to be the next RNC chair.
Stop raining on my Parade!! ☂😛☂
If you don’t “want” it (about anything in life)….
You WON’T get it.
And a lot of times you won’t get it, even if you do want it.
True, but if you don’t WANT it…. you won’t try to get it.
But you know what the philosopher Jagger says 😁
If you try sometimes
You just might find
You get what you need
I remember when that happened. The train was proceeding through a remote and mountainous area of India, and the robbers had planned to clean out the whole train. They had already gone through the car where the girl and the Gurkha were and taken everyone’s wallets, but they came back for the girl.
The reason that he only killed and injured eleven of the approximately 40 robbers is that word got out that there was a riled-up Gurkha in one of the cars and the other robbers began jumping off the moving train.
The traditional knife of the Gurkha is called the kukri. Even Paul Hogan might have some respect for one.
You mean this?
That looks like a nicer, smaller example. There are large, two-handed versions.
Blades of 12″ to 14″ seem common.
He would, it’s a lot bigger than that dinky switchblade the mugger tried to use.
Technically, they can be either knives or short swords.
“Short Swords”… Only if it has a wrist brace?
Another fun detail was that the Gurkha handed over his wallet along with everyone else when the robbers first came through his car. As noted by his disdain for a monetary reward, this didn’t bother him very much. But when they came back and started manhandling the girl out of her chair, she said something like, “will no gentleman preserve my honor?” — and it was On like Donkey Kong.
He received minor injuries during the fracas, as can be seen in the photo. He also received military awards. But, as they say in credit card commercials, “becoming a famous defender of virtue and honor — priceless.”
Here’s a source — https://www.wearethemighty.com/mighty-history/nepalese-warrior-train-robbery/
And she is reported to have said, “You are a soldier, please save a sister.”
From there, it was only going to go one way.
“she said something like, “will no gentleman preserve my honor?”
____________
So it was a Victorian scene?
Some of the robbers that jumped had firearms, as well as some of the casualties.
During the Falklands war the Brits took Gurkha’s with them. In one skirmish the Argentine troops heard they were up against Gurkha’s and rapidly departed.
Good work!
Interesting new twist on Twitter….
“My daughter didn’t take the shot and she’s alive” tweet with photo.
Smart and pretty girl!
Love it!
What a beautiful girl. I wish I could hitch her up with my youngest.
Wish I was her age so I could impress her with my wit and wisdom.
Of course, I barely had a fraction then of what I have now, and what I have now ain’t all that great.
But I get by.
We all get better with age, IMHO.
Well….
Lol! I self-identify as a rare French cheese.

VA superintendent: School administrators tipped that 6-year-old was armed before teacher was shot
https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2023/01/13/va-superintendent-school-administrators-tipped-that-6-year-old-was-armed-before-teacher-was-shot-n523571
The teacher had no warning and was shot in the chest with life-threatening injuries. She is now in stable condition.
Not good. Lots of ways they could have handled this.
Well, yeah. They could have snatched the little shit up by the hair and put him somewhere until they figured out what was going on.
Kids in school should not be treated like fragile porcelain dolls.
At minimum CALL HIS PARENTS TO COME GET HIM!
Amen!
Assuming he knows who his father is.
Since there’s so few details, I have a sneaking suspicion that this is a kid of color, probably from drug/crime ridden household. Change my mind.
I wouldn’t try, cause I think you’re right!
Yup. IMO they raided Trump as part of a cover-up strategy.
AGREED.
I’m calling Photoshop! 😉
You mean they’re not real???
It’s creepy…
Agreed. “Adultification of infants” seems weird, TBH.
The same can be said for infantilization of adults. But that is a daily occurrence and not as “cute”.
Agree.
Yup. Cringe back then, and remains so.
Wow!
He deleted it because someone reminded mister dragonpoo that the grammar is such that one must be in office in order to disqualify from future office holding. IOW, one cannot add or subtract words when determining the meaning of a statute.
So that’s about Trump, not JB. Trump was not in office when the records were discovered, so that discovery could not disqualify him from holding office in the future (if Trump had actually done anything wrong).
JB, on the other hand, can now be removed from office and disqualified from future office-holding.
🎯
BINGO!!!
Also POTUS Trump can declassify just by taking the documents while in office.
ALL secret clearances and I would think ALL secret classifications stem DIRECTLY from the PRESIDENT. He has just DELEGATED HIS AUTHORITY to others.
Didn’t BiteMe just hire Elias?
If yea, Elias certainly doesn’t want that TW out there. Tossing his client, BiteMe under the bus.
^^^ I had it wrong. BiteMe hired Bob Bauer. Elias deleted TW nails BiteMe.
That was originally intended for Trump, to keep him from running again.
𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗠𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗚!
Bauer is Elias’ Boss, SWAMP CHIEF.

How does the phrase”…𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝗻𝗹𝗮𝘄𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘀,….” apply to the DOJ and FBI and Hunter’s Laptop???
Great Question!
Bannon quoted another code yesterday that was 10yrs/count.
Fascinating info about the size of the universe and distances to celestial bodies. I look forward to watching the calculus video.
And remember that is the nearest star. The galaxy is 25,000 times as wide as that distance.
And that’s just this galaxy; the nearest large galaxy is 500,000 times as far as the nearest star. That’s (proportionately) speaking “only” twenty times farther than the other side of this galaxy.
The jump from interplanetary travel to interstellar travel is, proportionately, far greater than any of the other steps.
But of course unless we find a way to go faster than light (basically impossible based on what we know today), getting across our own galaxy cannot take less than 100,000 years, so it will always be a pipe dream.
I bring this whole topic up because I am exasperated with the way that Hollywood seems to think stars aren’t all that far away, or they just get the relative scale wrong. Take Stargate SG-1…those symbols couldn’t possibly give you an accurate enough location with only six of them, that’s 1600x1600x1600 if there are 40 different kinds of symbols; that’s enough to specify a particular cube of space about 50 light years across…which would include hundreds if not thousands of stars. OK which one is the one with the stargate? (And they described it as being a set of coordinates at least once.)
Warp Speed Scottie!
100,000 years to go from Point A to Point B is incomprehensible! Hollywood cheats on details all the time, especially ones like that where not many people would be aware. Stars are depicted in popular culture as pretty or romantic or something to make a wish on.

Nope.
Let’s try the one that just worked for me…..
It’s video-dependent from YouTube.
But is it dependent on the video’s encoding?
Don’t think so. It’s time-dependent on the same videos, but at the level of hours.
Verrrrrrry Interestinggggg….
Things are looking better by the hour, too.
Glad you’re on it 🙂
I can forgive Hollywood, or any SF, for postulating a faster-than-light drive of some sort, based on what we don’t we don’t know yet.
But having the USS Enterprise take a year to get between two planets in the same system just because the warp drive is out (impulse drive can go much faster than that) yet Warp 2 gets you to a nearby star in days (not at only 8x the speed of light it doesn’t! Try half a year!) And in other places in-system travel under warp speed takes days…well, someone just doesn’t know the basic facts.
“But of course unless we find a way to go faster than light (basically impossible based on what we know today), getting across our own galaxy cannot take less than 100,000 years, so it will always be a pipe dream.”

Two words.
Wormhole.
Okay, one word, but a compound.
Or as Beavis would say, Wormholio.
It works. I saw it on Farscape 👍 😁
Hah!
In fact, a wormhole–if it’s even possible–would probably destroy anything that went through it. Spaghettification (and no, I didn’t make the word up).
And the sand-castle virtues are all swept away in
The tidal destruction
The moral melee.
The elastic retreat rings the close of play as the last wave uncovers
The newfangled way.
[emph added]
Funny that. ST-TNG alluded to that by having a character describe the mechanism of a transporter in order to explain his phobia about using the transporter. Barclay was the character IIRC.

People of the Earth can you hear me?
Came a voice from the sky on that magical night
And in the colors of a thousand sunsets
They traveled to the world on a silvery light
The people of the Earth stood waiting
Watching as the ships came one by one
Setting fire to the sky as they landed
Carrying to the world Children Of The Sun
Children of the sun
All at once came a sound from the inside
Then a beam made of light hit the ground
Everyone felt the sound of their heartbeat
Every Man – Every Woman – Every Child
They passed the limits of imagination
Through the door – to a world – of another time
And on a journey of a thousand lifetimes
With the Children Of The Sun – They started to climb
Children of the sun, children of the sun
No more gravity, nothing holding them down
Floating endlessly, as their ship leaves the ground
Through the walls of time – at the speed of light
Fly the crystal ships on their celestial flight
On their celestial flight
Children of the sun, children of the sun
Children of the sun…
Steve, assuming the Milky Way is a suburb, where is the first city galaxy and how many light years distant? For the purposes of answering this question assume the city is 5 times larger than the suburb.
Yikes, you’re basically asking for the nearest galaxy at five times the mass of the Milky Way (if I read you right). M-31 (“Andromeda Galaxy”) is usually quoted at 2x, and that’s two million light years away; it’s the one I was thinking of in my comment. That’s a very close neighbor cosmologically speaking. And both we and they are “full size” galaxies.
That’s a hard search to run. But, I can bound it, because Messier-87 is famous for being big and it’s relatively close. Messier 87 is big, some claim even 200x the size of the Milky Way galaxy, and it’s roughly 55 million light years away. (Both numbers, mass and distance, are hard to measure.) So whatever the “city” is, it is either M-87 and the answer is 55 million light years, or it’s something else closer than that.
If you mean physical size (i.e., diameter, volume) there’s a wikipedia page full of lists of galaxies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_galaxies but unfortunately that page doesn’t give distances. And even then it’s a tough question to answer; galaxies don’t have hard edges. It would be like trying to put a hard boundary on a fog bank. (“Here, you’re inside it…one millimeter that way, you’re outside of it.”) Stars in a galaxy just get less and less frequent as you get further away from the center. At what point are you outside of it? And there are probably lone stars everywhere, at least within galaxy clusters (many are flung out of their parent galaxies when two galaxies “collide” (pass through each other, in fact), so the frequency of stars never drops quite to zero.
And of course new things are being discovered constantly; it’s estimated that there are 100 billion galaxies observable; with that many we’ll never have good data on all of them.
Thanks Steve. I was thinking in terms of volume not mass but all that information is great. The bottom line is it will be a long bus ride so I better get some Power bars for the trip.
Just don’t get the vax, you’ll need the extra time.
I like experiments but not that kind. Don’t even take the flu offer. I will accept a tetanus shot very ten years if I haven’t read that it has been updated.
It wasn’t that long ago that I traveled to the tropics and cheerfully took seven vaccines before going, and three boosters (for two of the seven) after I got back.
I’d be wary now, because who knows what else they want to slip into the Hepatitis B vaccine (just to name one of them).
Yes tetanus was one of them, but there were plenty of others including for a couple of diseases I had never heard of before.
And of course anti-malarials, but those were pills that continued after returning.
I have never been to the tropics so I have never faced that decision. The truth is I no longer trust the pharmaceutical firms. In the 20th century I had a different opinion but as Ronald Reagan said, “I never left Pfiser, Pfiser left me.
Yeah, like I said TODAY I’d be leery, not of those vaxxes (which so far as I know met stringent standards that the covid jab did not) but of the question of whether they, and only they, would be what I’d actually be given.
You can not even get a stand alone tetanus any more!
It is now Tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap) vaccine.
And some weirdness from Fripp Manor —
Just how many closets of costumes/clothes does she have, anyway?

OK, let’s see if I can get Goldfrapp going here….
Incidentally, the reason you don’t see very many of those acrylic basses is not because they’re particularly difficult to make — it’s because they are heavy like you would not believe.
It’s gonna give me a seizure, the editor won’t leave the camera focused on anything for more than 3 seconds.
Instead of a natural live performance experience, it’s like an assault!
With Goldfrapp, it’s entirely intentional.
Try this and see if it’s any better —
My speakers won’t play Wang Chung 😂
LoL
Heavy… like a Les Paul?
I never played an acrylic Bass…..
I did however just pick up an SG Bass to go along with my BC Rich.
Now I gotta ask hubby, when he gets back from a lunch hangout w/ a buddy, what the compositions of his basses are…inquiring minds 🙂
I know he’s got a couple Schechters & an Ernie(‘s) Ball(s) 😉
Most are wood.
Yes we checked earlier today & found of his 5 basses all are wood: 3 Schechters, an Ernie Ball, & an Ibanez 🙂
I have an ancient SG bass with wooden saddles at the bridge. There’s so little punch, it sounds like you’re playing in another room.
Mine is cherry red with 2 Humbuckers.
Sounds pretty good through a Peavey TNT and a Zoom Pedal 🙂

Let’s see if we can talk about spike protein on YouTube now…..

How about a Hallelujah!!!
I just edited the post and got the two non-working YouTube videos to take!
It was a curse that expired on Friday the 13th.
Sure seems that way!
Thank Heaven
What in the HELL is wrong with the wrong media? It’s suddenly RIGHT.
I can’t believe that CSPAN is actually reporting this! What’s next? NPR?
As if he didn’t know.
Wait until he gets the briefing from the FBI on the FBI.
As if he doesn’t know.
LOL not holding my breath here 🙂
Travis Tritt went there on Lisa Marie!

In his honor…..
Kudos to Travis Tritt. He’s single handedly shaming the celeb class for their intentional ignorance.
“In order to continue advancing their illogical arguments modern liberals have to pretend not to know things”…David Mamet
AMEN!!!
I believe we have crested the peak, and are on the downslope.
D5 incoming. Get ready.
As I said yesterday, Lisa Marie Presley is the ONE recent “sudden unexplainable death” I think is most likely NOT to be the Jab.
So it would be ironic if she were the tipping point.
Well, she could be dead because of the jab. Or she could not. It doesn’t matter, though, because it’s the fact that they don’t tell us why ANY of them are dying that is the catalyst.
If they said outright, Lisa Marie did NOT get the Covid shot, that would be one thing. Or if they said, we are investigating whether the shot caused her death.
But since all of these deaths are reported as “unknown” causes, people will speculate. And many more are coming to the conclusion that the clot-shot is killing lots of people.
To clarify, in case someone missed a fine distinction:
I said most likely not to be…which does not mean the same as “most likely isn’t,: just that it’s less certain than the football player or the tennis player or for that matter any of the athletes. She was older, in the range where heart attacks begin to happen, and apparently she did a lot of drugs.
Covid jab could have been the last straw (which wouldn’t surprise me), or it could have had nothing to do with it. But it’s less obviously The Jab than in those other cases, where I can’t see how it could have been anything else except in maybe ONE case (pick one at random) by happenstance.
Right. I get it.
I believe that Bhakdi and Burkhardt (the immunologist and the pathologist) were able to tell when it was due to the jab. McCullough also talks about the scarring mechanism.
I’m betting that there could easily be a pathological diagnostic method to confirm jab deaths.
And nobody will touch it.
“…I’m betting that there could easily be a pathological diagnostic method to confirm jab deaths.
And nobody will touch it.”
………..
You mean like this:
Yep. EXCEPT when there is no clotting. They will invoke Mamet and not look any deeper. Heart scarring is key, IMO.
Cowards! 😡
If this stuff Can be known, then it Must be explored!!!
Cowards!COMPLICIT!Yes!!!
I’d bet you are correct.
“But since all of these deaths are reported as “unknown” causes, people will speculate.”
_____________
The cause isn’t ‘unknown‘, it’s Sudden Adult Death Syndrome, silly! 😁
Lol. I have to believe a few people are just dying of “natural causes.”
“Well, she could be dead because of the jab. Or she could not. It doesn’t matter, though, because it’s the fact that they don’t tell us why ANY of them are dying that is the catalyst.”

It could be that Lisa Marie struck a deeper chord.
The star power of Elvis Presley is still amazingly strong, and his fan base is devoted, and it crosses generational lines.
A lot of the lesser celebrities have name recognition but no deep connection with the public, the way Elvis did (and still does).
A lot of people will miss the announcement about Robbie Knievel for example, but nobody in the Elvis fan base is going to miss that Elvis’ daughter just ‘died suddenly’.
True.
Something is happening!!!

I have a friend who calls us the “Slave Class.”
I have been calling us ‘Free ranging Slaves’ for years. Over fifty percent of our labor labor/wealth is CONFISCATED.
True.

“Time for a NEW PARTY!”

Or no party at all.
Like taking off and nuking the entire site from orbit.
It’s the only way to be sure.
Do not forget the Tuskegee experiments. You can BET the Blacks haven’t forgotten.

Couldn’t happen to a more deserving Schiff-head.
Hey, what about the Standard Hotel?
I think we might be ready to come back to that one!
See, now, I knew there had to be at least four people interested in my physics posts…if only they weren’t downgraded to the point where only three of them could see them.
A very insightful argument by Joe Rogan that you may or may not agree with – and that’s OK. Must listen!
It’s case by case for me. No blanket forgiveness for those who’ve doubled down on their support for the vaccines.
If they are medical personnel who are RESPONSIBLE for injecting people or used their medical credentials to entice people to get injected….𝗳𝘂𝗰𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂!
If they are Celebs or news urinalists who were PAID… 𝗳𝘂𝗰𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂!
Both sets I want to see brought up on criminal charges and AT MINIMUM get major fines ( as in ALL their wealth) confiscated and placed in a fund to PAY the vaccine injured.
For the IODIOTIC SHEEPLE? Yeah I will forgive them for being easily led sheep, but those PAID PIED PIPERS? … 𝗳𝘂𝗰𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂!
>>> Covidiot Injection “PUSHERS”, need to be stopped in their tracks. <<<
If you were a medical person who pushed the shots, no forgiveness from me.
And I disagree with him that he had access to conversations and information that others didn’t have. Who the fuck am I? Yet somehow, I accessed the information.
Trying this Youtube:
Working now.
Excellent!!!
97% of scientists agree is BOGUS!!!!
An oopsie in the Doran/Zimmerman 97% consensus claim
Anthony Watts goes into the actual survey and shows HOW they cheated.
First question:
Here anthony reports on a better survey. Note the younger scientists (aka BRAIN WASHED think ‘Climate Change will cause significant harm.
Of course if you understand that we are at the end of the Holocene warm period or at least at the bottom temperatures of a double precession cycle, then you are looking at “the Icehouse or the Madhouse’ — Neuman and Hearty (1996) (Paper has been removed so here is WUWT link to discussion.)

Why do we always see weak-sauce BS like this from Congress?
How about, “any agency that puts forth such stupid proposals deserves not to exist” — followed by a complete defund, elimination of the agency, and lifetime ban for hiring alumni? It’s not like we have any shortage of Federal busybodies. If we’d done this for all the toilets that don’t flush, dishwashers that don’t clean dishes, incandescent light bulb bans, and showerheads that take forever to rinse, we’d all be living better lives and bureaucrats might be more cautious in their pronouncements.
It’s not like you can find toilets and light bulbs in Article I, Section 8.
That’s because they’re in the missing [real] Thirteenth Amendment.
