@jolly said in Their Matriculation Has Decreased: Well, I admit, the Sikhs still have their testicles... The second amendment and Sikh daggers come from the same logic… Principled citizens are the best defense against tyranny. Now both also come from a time without police forces… but the point stands.

@jolly said in American Thinker du jour - Ferguson Effect Edition: In the meantime, the cops no longer police... And the greatest impact of that is in the black community right?

Funny this subject came up. We had Portillo's last night. Mrs. George had one of their burgers (very good, by the way) and I had a Maxwell Street Polish.

Read this one instead: https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2021/03/26/its-going-to-get-harder-to-avoid-telling-the-irs-about-income-from-online-sales.html This CNBC article is a more functional, practical reporting of the same news with more details telling you under what situations the reporting requirement kicks in and when it doesn't, without the ideological editorialization embedded in the one linked in the opening post.

@copper said in I was a year early: @89th I drive and run (old-man-jog) from the cart to the greens or to a ball if I can't drive near it. I don't have a set routine if I feel like doing a quick jog, I do. Very cool! I doubt you do many practice swings. I’ve recently phased that out…I almost never practice swing unless it’s a club I have used in a while and need a quick reminder on the length.

@horace said in A response...: Bush is surprisingly in the bag for whatever pop cultural narrative will make him look most virtuous. He did the same thing when he expressed his opinions about America’s systemic police racism after Floyd. He’s a painter, ya know?

@lufins-dad said in COVID hits the Saints: It's simple, it really is. The CDC stated back in May that they were only going to record Breakthrough Cases that reached the hospitals. It's a little unclear whether that meant they visited a hospital or had to be hospitalized. These are the numbers they are repeatedly using. https://www.propublica.org/article/the-cdc-only-tracks-a-fraction-of-breakthrough-covid-19-infections-even-as-cases-surge The real numbers appear to match up with Israel and the UK, 40% of all new cases, and 10% of the hospitalizations. I'd say that's probably it. One stat I would love to know...How many people have had COVID twice?

From the RWEC: 18 U.S. Code § 1507. It states that anyone who “with the intent of interfering with, obstructing, or impeding the administration of justice, or with the intent of influencing any judge, juror, witness, or court officer, in the discharge of his duty, pickets or parades in or near a building housing a court of the United States, or in or near a building or residence occupied or used by such judge. . .shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both” (emphasis added). I’m not saying the anti-Kavanaugh protesters should be fined or imprisoned, or even arrested. I’m saying that not taking these actions against them seems inconsistent with the treatment of most January 6 protesters being prosecuted by the Biden Justice Department. To be fair, I should point out that Senate Judiciary Committee members from both parties have denounced the protest at Justice Kavanaugh’s home. They say, correctly in my view, that the families and homes of government officials are not fair game. Sens. Dick Durbin and Patrick Leahy both took this position. Durbin’s comment was interesting. He said: When it comes to criminal trespass, we got a belly full of that on January 6th. I don’t care whether you’re right or left, that is unacceptable as far as I’m concerned in expressing your political feelings. Criminal trespass, or something along those lines, is all the vast majority of January 6 protesters should be charged with. I hope I’m not being too cynical when I wonder whether Durbin and Leahy are themselves acting “with the intent of influencing” Justice Kavanaugh. After all, he, not Chief Justice Roberts, is now the swing vote on the Supreme Court. Condemning a demonstration at Kavanaugh’s home seems like a good way to get on the Justice’s good side, or at least off of his sh*t list, where Durbin and Leahy both belong based on their unconscionable stance during Kavanaugh’s confirmation proceedings. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Lock them up.

@jolly Depends if he's into that sorta thing :devilgrin:
