re: #11 FormerDirtDart 🍕🐀 No Capt’n😷Trips
I’m honestly surprised that Cyber Ninjas didn’t find a way to cook the numbers to create the appearance of a fraudulent D win in AZ. Wouldn’t it be funny if centuries of common law relating to commercial services fraud are what stopped this — i.e., the contract that Cyber Ninjas had with AZ undoubtedly specified that something resembling an honest audit was to take place, contrary to the intent of the AZ legislature, but still in writing and enforceable.

That’s the thing about filing “official” reports under government contract, you have to show your work. And, you can be charged with fraud if you get caught submitting false or misleading accounts.
And, the checks had cleared, and the cow was milked dry.

re: #12 Dopamine Fish

They are refusing to cooperate with a court order for internal texts, because there were so many extreme partisans on the audit and they don’t want that exposed. Perhaps they want that issue to go away.
All the delays on the report suggest they kept trying to find a way to spin the audit but couldn’t.

If this is true then it is my worst fear. The chance that we are experiencing the ultimate Con. No way would I believe that it is true. Yet it would make vote fraud unstoppable from here on out. Lets hope this is not true.

Maybe they are going to assert that the problem is that too many people with suspect eligibility voted (you know — people who were not white) and that was the problem. So new voting restrictions are needed to prevent a recurrence of these “illegitimate” citizens from exercising their right to vote.

There are allegedly multiple draft copies floating around among the local and national press corps, including, we hear, separate drafts with different verbiage. (The copies we have are clearly drafts, as they include wrong page numbers, missing pages and watermarks declaring them draft copies.) But the different drafts we’ve heard about all come to the same conclusion: Joe Biden won Arizona.
Except the report doesn’t explicitly say he won. Instead, it claims the hand recount shows Biden got more votes than Donald Trump (what is democracy if not the person with the most votes won?), while continuing to throw out unfounded accusations of various nefarious acts.
In fact, the audit claims Biden actually won with a larger margin than the county had previously tallied. Trump lost 261 votes in the Cyber Ninjas hand recount of all 2.1 million ballots cast in the county, while Biden picked up 99 votes in the recount.
10 people on my FB friends list deactivated their accounts in the last week.
Randy Pullen, a spokesman for the election review, confirmed the validity of the draft.
“It’s not the final report, but it’s close,” he said.
Pullen confirmed that the hand recount was “relatively close” to the official tally.
“Was there massive fraud or anything? It doesn’t look like it,” he added.
“In fact, according to drafts of the final report obtained by The Arizona Republic on Thursday night, Cyber Ninjas’ ‘audit’ found that former President Donald Trump received 45,469 fewer votes than Biden. “

New CT! The Ninjas will claim that their process was inadequate because it did not include the GOP counties; Democrats knew that Maricopa would be subject to audit and so decided to switch votes in GOP counties instead, figuring that the GOP would not investigate those changes!

Can’t speak for the 1918 flu, but yersinia pestis is a bacterium, not a virus, and I haven’t heard that it has changed significantly since we first encountered it. The main reason the epidemics of the 1350’s were so deadly was that the population was about the maximum that the economy (at 1350 tech levels) could support. A lot of people were borderline malnourished and they died quickly.

This WashPost OpEd from yesterday is starting to get retweeted by a number of the accounts that I read. There is nothing in it that would surprise LGF readers, but it is good to see that the issue is getting higher visibility:
Opinion: Our constitutional crisis is already here
The United States is heading into its greatest political and constitutional crisis since the Civil War, with a reasonable chance over the next three to four years of incidents of mass violence, a breakdown of federal authority, and the division of the country into warring red and blue enclaves. The warning signs may be obscured by the distractions of politics, the pandemic, the economy and global crises, and by wishful thinking and denial. But about these things there should be no doubt:
…snip…
The stage is thus being set for chaos. Imagine weeks of competing mass protests across multiple states as lawmakers from both parties claim victory and charge the other with unconstitutional efforts to take power. Partisans on both sides are likely to be better armed and more willing to inflict harm than they were in 2020. Would governors call out the National Guard? Would President Biden nationalize the Guard and place it under his control, invoke the Insurrection Act, and send troops into Pennsylvania or Texas or Wisconsin to quell violent protests? Deploying federal power in the states would be decried as tyranny. Biden would find himself where other presidents have been — where Andrew Jackson was during the nullification crisis, or where Abraham Lincoln was after the South seceded — navigating without rules or precedents, making his own judgments about what constitutional powers he does and doesn’t have.Today’s arguments over the filibuster will seem quaint in three years if the American political system enters a crisis for which the Constitution offers no remedy.

Yes. I agree that they will certainly attempt to do that. And in locations where they have majority control will successfully manipulate the results.
And that is what the article discusses. Plus some of the short-term consequences of such an attempt.
The only thing that prevented them last time was a record turnout for Biden and a handful of GOP state officials with some traces of honesty and integrity.
Those people have all been scrapped and replaced by officials who will toe the line and obey orders.
And in other world news:
Woman found on Croatian island of Krk (why does that name look like a typo?) id’ed.
Croatian police on Wednesday confirmed the identity a woman found in a remote area of an island with no memory of her name or where she came from.
Police said the woman is Daniela Adamcova, a 57 year old from Slovakia. Her identity was confirmed after friends from Croatia, Slovakia and the United States recognized her from a photograph released by law enforcement, according to multiple reports.
Adamcova was discovered on Sept. 12 on the northern Adriatic island of Krk by people fishing. She was seen on jagged rocks close to the sea in an area of the island where bears are known to roam.
The woman lived in the U.S. on and off from approximately 1984 until 2015, according to multiple reports. She was previously a jewelry designer whose pieces were worn by celebrities including Diana Ross, Brigitte Bardot and Barbra Streisand.

Anyone who has regular issues with blood pressure, like I do, is acutely aware of how much it can fluctuate on a regular basis just by doing regular things. I have to be extremely careful when measuring my blood pressure to replicate the exact same circumstances every time - no caffeine, sitting in my office chair in a specific position, having been seated for at least a specific amount of time after walking into the office, no bladder pressure, no tension from doing work or other external stimuli.

Not just participated in the planning, but with sedition specifically, they have to prove that violence was the intention. Someone, somewhere, needs to have explicitly said, “We’re going to assemble a violent mob and force Congress and the VP to honor the cosplay electors and install Trump as President.” If they don’t have that, it’s not sedition, according to the scant legal precedent we have.

After I got the shot (#2), about 4 hours later my blood pressure spiked to around 200/100 and stayed that way for several days. I didn’t feel well for about a week but it’s better than dying from the virus.

White House officials prioritized President Donald Trump’s attempt to challenge the election over the pandemic response last winter, according to emails obtained by the House select subcommittee probing the government’s coronavirus response,” the Washington Post reports.
“Steven Hatfill, a virologist who advised White House trade director Peter Navarro and said he was intimately involved in the pandemic response, repeatedly described in the emails how ‘election stuff’ took precedence over coronavirus, even as the outbreak surged to more than 250,000 new coronavirus cases per day in January.”

Pfizer booster now available to older Americans and those at higher-risk, including on the job, as CDC chief partly overrules panel
…snip…
In a rare move, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky late Thursday overruled her agency’s advisory panel and added a recommendation for boosters for people whose jobs put them at risk of infection.
The advisory panel had made a recommendation that largely mirrored an authorization issued a day earlier by the Food and Drug Administration, with a call for a third shot of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for people 65 and older, nursing home residents and people 50 to 64 with underlying medical conditions six months after completing their second shot.
The panel also said younger people, 18 to 49 years old with underlying medical conditions, may assess their own risk and choose to get a booster if they want one.
…snip…
While Walensky agreed with most of what the advisers recommended, she added a recommendation that hewed closely to the FDA language. Individuals ages 18 to 64 at risk of exposure and transmission because of occupational or institutional setting may receive a booster shot, she said in a statement, released just before midnight.

In the late 1930’s a woman named Fania Lewando ran an upscale restaurant in the town of Vilna (then Poland [1920-1939], now Vilnius, Lithuania). The restaurant featured an extensive vegetarian menu.
In 1938 she published a Yiddish cookbook of her vegetarian recipes. After the Germans invaded, she and her husband, like so many Jews, disappeared and are presumed to have perished in the Holocaust. The cookbook, like so much else, was lost.
But in 1995 a copy surfaced. Some interested folks found it. They arranged to have it translated into English and republished. And it is again available.

Delta apparently has no more fucks to give for unruly passengers and wants other airlines to join in creating a common no-fly list.
Delta already has more than 1,600 people on its own “no fly” list, according to the memo.
“We’ve also asked other airlines to share their ‘no fly’ list to further protect airline employees across the industry — something we know is top of mind for you as well,” wrote Kristen Manion Taylor, Delta’s senior vice president of in-flight services. “A list of banned customers doesn’t work as well if that customer can fly with another airline.”

I think I’d make this policy: “Yes, you can leave the ICU to go get whatever alternative treatment you want. However, you can’t come back. If you take your ICU-bound patient to get alternative treatment, you waive all right to hospital treatment for the duration of their infection and assume all responsibility for their care.

Rep. Karen Bass plans to announce run for mayor of Los Angeles
Rep. Karen Bass (D-Calif.) is planning to announce that she will run for mayor of Los Angeles in 2022, according to two people with knowledge of the situation, joining a high-stakes race to run the second-most populous city in the country.
The people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private deliberations, said an official announcement is expected soon. It will possibly happen next week, barring unexpected changes, they said.
“Los Angeles is facing a humanitarian crisis in homelessness and a public health crisis in the disproportionate impact this pandemic has had on Angelenos,” Bass spokesman Zach Seidl said in a statement, when asked for comment. “She does not want to see these two issues tear the city apart. Los Angeles has to come together. That’s why the Congresswoman is considering a run for mayor.”
Would be nice to finally have a mayor who will pull the plug on out of control gentrification.

Goddammit, their demonization of all things sexual - especially behavior they deem “immoral”, which is basically everything except for cis-hetero intercourse between married individuals - is responsible for a major epidemic of mental issues among newly married current Christians, and former Christians who become sexually active, due to their complete lack of preparedness for the vast and amazing world of sex.

re: #172 Hecuba’s daughter
There is a recent alternative theory: black death spread by human fleas and lice and not rats.
WRT to the “Black Death” thing, if memory serves*, a few years back, someone unearthed a mass grave in (?England?) which could be reliably dated to the mid-14th-Century Plague time, and they were able to extract DNA samples which proved a Yersinia pestis infection. To the point, I believe, where they were able to identify the specific (extinct) strain of Yp, via comparison with modern types of the bacterium still extant (bubonic plague still kills, I think, 2-3 people annually in the US, a few dozen worldwide).
Though, yes, the precise method by which the Black Death was spread in medieval Europe is still under debate.

I’m waiting for the earth shattering sanctions part of this suit, because it should be *inevitable*.
Well, that’s awkward:
Two hosts of ABC’s “The View” were pulled from set during the show’s live broadcast Friday after learning that they tested positive for COVID-19.
The panelists were moments away from introducing Vice President Kamala Harris to the show for an in-person interview in their New York City studio. Harris’s interview will now take place remotely from another room inside the building.

Sonny Hostin and Ana Navarro were pulled from the anchor desk a few minutes into the show, and the remaining anchors subsequently explained that Hostin and Navarro had tested positive.

And while they’re unlikely to be sanctioned based on this… thing… by itself, it’s certainly not going to help their case any when it does get to the sanctions bit. As noted in the thread, this… thing… isn’t really a thing they can do. The court is going to look at this and go, “What the ducking fuck?” There are proper procedural remedies to delay having to give an answer, and - well, this ain’t it, chief.

There was a (hushed up) plague epidemic in San Francisco at the time of the great earthquake. Which of course spread plague far and wide with the refugees. As a result, bubonic plague now has reservoirs in western rodent species (mainly prairie dogs) although the other western rodent species can catch and spread it. That’s where most of the US casualties come from.

re: #167 Dopamine Fish
I think I’d make this policy: “Yes, you can leave the ICU to go get whatever alternative treatment you want. However, you can’t come back. If you take your ICU-bound patient to get alternative treatment, you waive all right to hospital treatment for the duration of their infection and assume all responsibility for their care. If they die, we are not liable.”

There was an anti-Korean backlash in the aftermath of the Great Kanto Earthquake in Tokyo in 1923. The earthquake resulted in a lot of fires, in part from broken gas pipes and exacerbated by collapsed wooden structures. Rumours went around that Korean immigrants were deliberately setting the fires and they were attacked and killed. No-one knows how many lost their lives from these attacks and the Japanese authorities didn’t bother to investigate the matter too deeply afterwards.

The flip is that Fox is possibly trying to spin away from being pro-Trump and recognizing that’s bad for branding with what is expected to come down Trump’s way. They’d rather support GOP generics than a Trump insurrectionist. Hannity is still 100% on the Trump bandwagon, and Carlson is straight up pushing Nazi crap. They don’t need to mention Trump when the GOP is 100% behind the white nationalist/supremacist/Nazi agenda.
And this is the problem small ranchers are running into. The paste eater are sucking up the medicine they need to maintain the health of their herds.
