That last ballot in the Presidential election? Easy peasy. Just got my ballot. This one is pretty much the opposite. What a primary season.
23 Long term US Senate candidates.
8 Short-term US Senate candidates.
26 candidates for Governor
12 for Mayor
The rest of the ballot is huge. Congress. Governor. County Sheriff. County Supervisor. State AG, Secretary of State, Lt Governor… It just keeps going.

All blue states should do the same.

Regarding ghost guns:

It’s a nice law to pass, because they are a real problem. But if you can’t track the parts, how are you going to track the problem?

What you should require is that every component should have a tracking number leading back to a manufacturer. No tracking number, $50,000 fine and 5 years in prison, no exceptions.

End of problem.

I worked at a medical device manufacturer in the 1990s. We sold catheters and chest ports. Every piece that went into a device and its tray had a lot number and every lot number was tracked. I mean, if we could do that for catheters in the 1990s, they can do it for guns in the 2020s.

Just to give an example: We had a particular brand of long term dialysis catheter, not made or sold in the USA, but made and sold overseas, and the defective ones were returned to our division in very roundabout ways from places like the “Fifth Army Hospital of the People’s Republic of China.” The FDA was VERY interested in why some of the catheters were leaking or actually breaking off at the skin exit. It turned out, after much investigation, that a particular disinfectant commonly used in certain countries was, over time, degrading the silicone of the catheters and causing them to break, requiring surgery to replace the catheter. But this required a lot of testing of the catheters and cleaning agents to make sure it wasn’t the silicone formulation that was somehow defective. Consequently, the packaging had to be labeled not to use X class of disinfectants on the catheters.

I don’t see a problem here. If you are a member of the US Military and you are stationed in a State with Draconian abortion laws, you should absolutely be required to birth a child, even if you were raped by your sergeant. I mean, it’s not the fetus’s fault, is it?

We are twenty, count ‘em, *20* years past the Boston Globe’s Spotlight article and dioceses are still settling cases. To wit:

Archdiocese of Santa Fe reaches $121M settlement in bankruptcy case

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - It was a decision more than 370 sexual abuse survivors have been waiting years for. The Archdiocese of Santa Fe and its insurers finally reached a settlement of $121.5 million Tuesday.

This follows six mediations and more than three years after Archbishop John Wester filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, in response to mounting sexual assault claims against Church clergy members. Some cases date back more than 60 years.

“We talk when we need to, but nobody has ever talked about what they went through,” said one alleged abuse survivor, who asked that KOB 4 refer to her only as “Ana.”

She said she was only in seventh grade when she was abused for the first time.

“It went through the entire year and most first semester of eighth grade,” she said.

Even though Tuesday’s decision brought Ana some closure, decades later, she said it will never truly be enough.

“It’s just all very traumatic,” she said. “I don’t know that there would ever be an amount that would make that better or worth it because I can’t speak for anybody but myself. I would have done anything to not have survived that, and just have had a regular middle school experience.”

It could take months to evenly divide the money among the hundreds of survivors. Once a judge approves a plan, they can never sue the archdiocese again.

Ana said, after years of mediations and having to revisit her trauma through legal proceedings, this is what needed to be done so she, and other survivors, could finally move on and start healing.

“I need peace,” she said. “I need closure, and I need to know that in some way, that it’s been settled.”

I am sure that you are well aware of the below. But since I have already written the post, I will post it anyways. ;)

Additionally, Dunford was pointing out that there are medical conditions. Some require medicines. These medicines in turn require contraceptives. Plus, of course other medical conditions where the required life saving operations are expressly forbidden by various state laws.

There are also legal questions. If life begins at conception, and there is a miscarriage, does that require a US Military investigation?

And that does not even get to the crazier stuff. Like some state legislatures discussing banning women of reproductive age from leaving the state. Does that prevent some service personnel from deployment or pcs? Or what happens if they are assigned tdy in such a state?

Why does the military, which already has a lot on its plate have to deal with this. Particularly if each state has a different patchwork of laws.

I agree, those nutcases have an underlying goal of redefining our entire society based upon their fantasies. Harassing women is just the beginning.

Organizations like the military are based upon a number of assumptions. Including an understanding of reality.

If we are dragged into their fantasy world, eventually we are going to end up where Russia is right now. Where a reality based opponent stands up to us and kicks our butt. Just because we indulge in this fantasy world, doesn’t mean the rest of the world has to follow us.

Add to that, that the rwnj fantasies do seem to involve peeving off much of the rest of the world against us.

What states are seriously considering preventing women of reproductive age from leaving the state?

Now, having laws that criminalize abortions performed in a different state is a realistic possibility. But not state control of the travel of women.

Texas is spending billions it doesn’t have on a border “wall” that can be defeated by a determined guy with an acetylene torch. Trust me, if their legislature suddenly decides they want to fence off the state and start requiring people entering and leaving the state to go through armed checkpoints equipped with whatever tech they require to determine if a woman is pregnant, they will spend the money to make that happen.

Another thing to keep in mind: These assholes are playing the long game. They don’t intend to just turn their little blood red fiefdoms into internment camps, they intend to do that to the entire country. Hence why they’re not worrying about what it means for women in the military if they transfer from state to state, because they intend to make such laws national ones. And yeah, they also intend to bar women from the military and kick those already in uniform out because their belief system does not allow for a woman to be equal to a man in any way.

Is the military prepared to factor state abortion and birth control laws into EFMP considerations when making assignments?

This is the sort of thing that will have a negative impact on enlistment.

(But will result in more babies to be drafted later down the line, so I guess it’s a net gain.

Bear in mind that states that decide to start enforcing bans by barring free travel of women are not going to just set up checkpoints. They’re going to start gathering data: medical data, financial data, social media, online transactions, so on and so forth. They’re going to know where you live, where you work, who your doctor is, what medication you’ve been prescribed, and (yes) even when your cycle is and if you’ve bought either feminine hygiene products or a pregnancy test this week. The far reach of modern technology means they won’t just be checking long lines of women, they’ll swipe your ID and if the system has flagged you as potentially pregnant then they’ll pull you aside to be examined.

The sad part? They won’t even have to expend the effort to snoop on most women in order to acquire that data, because plenty of companies will gladly sell it to them for a fee.

You thought there wouldn’t be another housing crisis?

If you took out a mortgage over the last couple of years, there’s a good chance the holder of that loan is America’s central bank — a consequence of its monetary stimulus efforts throughout the pandemic.

Why it matters: The Fed will face a series of political and economic headaches as it attempts to move away from subsidizing home lending by shrinking its portfolio of mortgage-backed securities.

The problem: Extracting itself from this market risks crashing the housing industry and creating intense political blowback for incurring financial losses.

re: #55 Hecuba’s daughter

What states are seriously considering preventing women of reproductive age from leaving the state? There are always fringe members of legislatures but that seems too unlikely to be adopted by any legislature. Now, having laws that criminalize abortions performed in a different state is a realistic possibility. But not state control of the travel of women. I cannot believe even this corrupt SCOTUS would support such an outrageous restriction on residents of this nation.

I think it was Idaho that passed an anti-transgender law that criminalized leaving the state to find gender-affirming health care. It’s not abortion rights, but Texas SB8 has inspired many red states to push the limits with their pseudo-Christian legislation and challenge people to sue them, to see just how far the corrupt Supreme Court will let them go before they finally draw a line.

I forgot what great songs Elton and Bernie used to turn out…

the first two studio albums are all right (I’m thinking Elton John and Tumbleweeds). But then, like the Stones and Stevie Wonder, they had a block of albums they would never match again: Madman, Honky Cat, Yellow Brick, Only the Piano Player, Captain Fantastic are all really superb (with the first three in my estimation being sublime). I think I’m missing one in there. I know Caribou takes a bad wrap in some quarters, but even if you have to tolerate Solar Prestige a Gammon, other cuts like Bitch is Back, Saucers, Don’t let the Sun Go down on Me make up for it.

“The framers” argued all the time, so you can always find something or another from writings that seems to support whatever you just pulled outta yer ass, and they’re all conveniently dead so they can’t tell you how wrong you are. Plus, the actual Constitutional debates were in confidence and never written down, so that’s convenient too.

Missouri lawmakers propose banning getting abortions in other states

Under Coleman’s measure, anything from driving women across state lines for abortions to internet providers allowing access to certain abortion-related websites would be outlawed. She said St. Louis-area billboards advertising easier-to-get abortions in neighboring Illinois would be banned, too.

“It’s trying to evade the laws of the state of Missouri,” said Coleman, a St. Louis-area Republican. “Abortion is a really brutal practice and Illinois has chosen not to, in any way, provide protections for the unborn and women, and so we’re trying to do everything we can to make sure Missourians are protected.”

60 game suspension isn’t enough. He should be banned from baseball and indirectly responsible for the death of an Angels player.

Matt Harvey suspended 60 games for distributing oxycodone to players. He also admitted to cocaine use.

Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs died from aspyhixiation from his own vomit. The ME found he had fentanyl, oxycodone, and alcohol in his system when he died. Harvey provided Skaggs with the oxycodone.

Harvey’s lawyers were able to work out an immunity deal and got his suspension to include games played at minor league level. Good for his lawyers; awful for baseball.

If you’re a serious chess player, you’ve heard of Drueke boards and pieces. They’re legendary. Basically, if you’ve seen pictures from American tournaments of the 1950’s and 60’s (can’t remember if there were any Druekes in queen’s gambit), you’ve likely seen Drueke boards, pieces, or a combination thereof. Well, Drueke stopped making equipment long, long ago, but recently the son began making new Drueke chess pieces for the first time in decades. I ordered a set. It’s taken a long time to get to finished production. Just got an email from Bill telling me these are the last sets he’s making. No more will ever be produced. They’re apparently too much trouble to make by hand (they’re technically a kind of plastic that’s molded, but that’s something that’s easier done when you’ve got a factory and a dozen workers, rather than one guy using molds). So I will be the proud owner of a set of what literally are the last half-dozen sets one of the greatest names in American chess history produced. Well, I think it’s kind of cool. Your mileage may vary, of course.

News of the crazy in Idaho:

Former Rep. Raúl Labrador, who spent his four terms in the House as one of the most prominent tea party shit-talkers, is well on the way to reviving his political career following his 51-38 GOP primary victory over five-term Attorney Lawrence Wasden. The far-right fell just short of capturing the open secretary of state’s office, though, as Ada County Clerk Phil McCrane turned back election denier state Rep. Dorothy Moon 43-41; the balance went to state Sen. Mary Souza, who like Moon said she didn’t believe Biden had legitimately won. Both Labrador and McCrane will be the overwhelming favorites in November in this dark red state.

Labrador became a high-profile national figure after arriving in Congress in 2011 when he made it clear he’d be one of the biggest headaches for the GOP leadership, and he went on to co-found the nihilistic House Freedom Caucus in 2015. Labrador’s nominal bosses were undoubtedly relieved when he chose to leave the House in order to run for governor in 2018, but that campaign ended with a 37-33 primary loss to then-Lt. Gov. Brad Little. Labrador, however, rebounded the next year by narrowly winning the race for state GOP chair, though his tenure came to an end in 2020.

The former congressman soon sought a more powerful post when he decided to go up against Wasden. While the attorney general had won renomination without opposition in 2018, he infuriated the far-right when he refused to join 17 other GOP attorneys general in trying to overturn Biden’s victory by arguing that he shouldn’t be getting involved in other state’s elections. Wasden also made enemies closer to home by getting into fights with the hardline Republicans in charge of the state legislature by issuing opinions calling some of their legislation unconstitutional.

Labrador and his allies, including the Club for Growth, argued that he’d be a far more loyal Republican than Wasden: Among other things, Labrador said that he would have joined the suit to reverse Biden’s win. Primary voters responded to his pitch on Tuesday by firing their state’s longest-serving attorney general.

Invoking the Founders in a political discussion is much like invoking God/Jesus in a theological one: Appealing to a higher power. The Founders are every bit as dead as Christ, leaving us with only their written records to divine their will from. Those writings have been picked apart and gone over for centuries, such that any person can point to one passage or even sentence to vindicate their beliefs. Those who demand their word be taken at face value and adhered to strictly generally are also the biggest hypocrites when it comes to following their own teachings.

But the most important thing to remember is that these folks always see the Founders/God being every bit as petty, bigoted, hateful, and racist as they are. But they “love” you.

Interesting paragraph from Markos’s most recent analysis of the war in Ukraine:

Ukraine’s strategy is simple—bleed Russia while buying time, as hundreds of thousands of Ukraine’s reserves train up and equip with the current influx of western arms. Over the last several days, several Ukrainian military and intelligence officials have referenced late summer as the inflection point at which Ukraine will start liberating territory. And not just post-invasion territory, but the entire Donbas and Crimea. All of it. It’s tough, ambitious talk, but the timeline speaks to Ukraine’s strategy— to hold out another four months as the nation mobilizes.

Our Founding Fathers were men of their times; more educated than the average person, but most were racist, patriarchal, contemptuous of women’s rights, and hostile to the indigenous peoples. This is the world that the Federalist Society wishes to reimpose on our nation — it is clear that Fuller (he of Plessy vs Ferguson fame) is their role model of an ideal judge, though, for whatever reason, Gorsuch isn’t as antagonistic to native Americans as the rest of the crew.

I understand Ben Franklin published a book with one chapter containing directions for making abortion potions. So that founding father had no problem with abortion.

pretty sure Hamilton also had no problem with abortion, but he wouldn’t have been the type to put that in writing.

Our Founding Fathers were men of their times; more educated than the average person, but most were racist, patriarchal, contemptuous of women’s rights, and hostile to the indigenous peoples. This is the world that the Federalist Society wishes to reimpose on our nation — it is clear that Fuller (he of Plessy vs Ferguson fame) is their role model of an ideal judge, though, for whatever reason, Gorsuch isn’t as antagonistic to native Americans as the rest of the crew.

Because Gorsuch has spent most of his life in Colorado. Native Americans and their land aren’t an abstract thing to him, they’re not something out of books, he’s probably gone hiking in places they maintain.

Not surprised.

A former employee has accused Wells Fargo of scheduling fake interviews with black and female candidates for roles that were already filled in order to boost the bank’s diversity statistics.

Former Wells Fargo wealth management executive Joe Bruno, 58, claims he was fired last August after he blew the whistle to his bosses about the bank’s alleged ‘fake interviews,’ which he described as ‘inappropriate, morally wrong, ethically wrong’ the New York Times reported.

Bruno says that he was instructed to conduct interviews with black candidates for the lower-paying financial adviser and financial consultant positions, despite the fact that he or his superiors had already picked someone for that job.

What we are seeing is anecdotal, the larger population of Russia doesn’t get good information, and those who do oppose the war have to be very brave to actually go out and protest.
I will agree the Russian army is both poorly disciplined and given a lot of license on their behavior, but I’m not going to go so far as to declare the population of a country to be animals who ought to be eliminated. It is an understandable reaction, but one that leads to attacking innocent people who couldn’t stop the atrocities if they tried.

Barefoot Grin  May 19, 2022 • 8:30:05am

I don’t begin to claim I understand much about Russian history, but having now read most of T. Snyder’s Bloodlands I can see how adrift many average Russians must feel. They suffered terribly under Stalin, brutalized their own ethnic minorities in Soviet states—starving nearly 4 million Ukrainians, murdering and deporting Tartars, Khazaks, and many others, slaughtering hundreds of thousands of Russians accused of being class enemies, behaving no less brutally in eastern Europe than the Nazis: and when it was over they had to convince the populace that they were the heroes who saved Europe and the world (always some truth in the mix). Much of that history was only confirmed with the fall of the USSR and opening of archives for a brief time before Putin’s regime began to strip the country of its wealth while spreading so many lies that truth became irrelevant. Morality seems to have become a liability.

From 2013 through 2018 Hunter Biden and his company brought in about $11 million via his roles as an attorney and a board member with a Ukrainian firm accused of bribery and his work with a Chinese businessman now accused of fraud, according to an NBC News analysis of a copy of Biden’s hard drive and iCloud account and documents released by Republicans on two Senate committees.

The documents and the analysis, which don’t show what he did to earn millions from his Chinese partners, raise questions about national security, business ethics and potential legal exposure. In December 2020, Biden acknowledged in a statement that he was the subject of a federal investigation into his taxes. NBC News was first to report that an ex-business partner had warned Biden he should amend his tax returns to disclose $400,000 in income from the Ukrainian firm, Burisma. GOP congressional sources also say that if Republicans take back the House this fall, they’ll demand more documents and probe whether any of Biden’s income went to his father, President Joe Biden.

House Democrats forced through legislation to impose socialist price controls on fuel. This is basic supply and demand: we need more supply, not less, and de-incentivizing production means that prices will continue to climb.

Market mechanisms do play a role in the price of fuel.

But do you know what plays a bigger role in the fuel market?

US energy companies meet annually at the White House to “plan America’s energy strategy”. And because these talks are of a strategic nature, they are also highly confidential.

What do we call it when representatives of an industry meet in secret to divvy up the market among themselves?

How much baby formula will the government make with that money?

The government isn’t manufacturing baby formula. Three companies control nearly all of the formula production in this country. Abbott controlled about half of the market with Similac and all of its various formulations. They produced nearly all of US domestic consumption in one facility - a facility that was shut down not by a whistleblower, but because babies died and got sickened from the formula; the shut down came only after the FDA came in and found serious failures in QA and safety.

Now, Abbott is reopening after cutting a deal with the FDA on new and improved safety measures.

The company is 100% at fault here. And I know two people personally and directly affected by the formula shortage and it is 100% on Abbott. Not Biden. Not the FDA.

If anything had the FDA acted sooner, the company would have had to shut down production earlier and caused the problems a few months prior. And Abbott had been having problems with some of its formulations going back to last July.

If GOPers had their way, they’d be fine with Abbott killing babies with contaminated products because they’d gut and filet the enforcement of FDA to oversee businesses.
