One of my very favorite places in the world. The location of a near-death experience (grabbing the wrong end of the rope at the top of a climb) that still freaks me out when i think about it.
THE H MAN JUST GOT A BETTER JOB. 2022 is off to a good start!
And I am bringing this up from the last thread because it’s too good to leave it down below:
Here it is, the funniest thing you will read all day. This 50-year-old (white white) snowflake claims he was LYNCHED:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jan/10/protesters-pelt-french-island-mp-covid-health-pass-saint-pierre-and-miquelon
I got a higher paying job this year. I’m not sure if it’s better, but it may be easier.
Happy belated birthday. Mine’s coming up soon.
Congratulations! Regular jobs here pay shit, there is really no two ways around it, but like me, he’s got a side business and it’s that attitude more than the actual # on the paycheck that is important to me. It’s pretty common among the French to kind of sit around and wait for things to happen, which is probably why I am much happier with a fellow immigrant who has a more can-do approach to life.
Congrats to H Man & days!
When? When is it coming? And early Happy Birthday!
When life gives you lemons, there are so many different ways to serve them that taste wonderful. When someone tosses you seaweed, the same thing applies. Eat it.

Yum!
My view on the whole debacle is that that guy is lucky that they only threw seaweed and a few pebbles. Because I’m pretty sure that a significant number of people are ready to see heads roll.
And the whingeing and whining and wailing reminds me VERY MUCH of AOC and the other “terrified” legislators during/after January 6. Any failure to respect their authority, any pushback (by people they DELIBERATELY set out to “piss off,” no less) is seen as an existential threat.
When Biden said Senator Sinema should accept being harassed in a bathroom stall as part of her job, AOC should have understood Biden was saying having insults lobbed at her is part of her job, too. While Senator Sinema can’t help needing to relieve herself, AOC could relinquish the spotlight a bit. The main insult toward AOC is that she lacks, shall we say, “gravitas”. She could stop opening her mouth and “removing all doubt”.
So glad you brought this news upstairs ! I think I caught you overnight one time when I woke up at the stupid hour of 3am Eastern and put a post up. That was fun 😀
Congratulations to H man! I’m happy for both of you.
Thank you! He is now officially a “cadre” (executive, which I think is a fancier title in America than it is here).
Good Morning.
I love Columbo’s way of thinking. 🙂
Right?
Doocy needs to ask Psaki that question 😀
I would love to see that.
Yep.
Don Surber called Liz “Dickette.”
Totally her father’s daughter. Even looks like him.
Likely shoots like him as well. But heaven forbid someone question her aim and intentions.
OMG! He is definitely an evil man!
And not Catholic.
At least you don’t have him as a neighbor.
A federal agency debuted a new system on Tuesday designed to record and store the information of federal employees who requested religious exemptions from the Biden administration’s federal jab mandate.

Do they get one of those QR codes that are being pushed ? Those darn things almost died out until someone figured out they could track people as if they are bars of soap.
QR codes are extremely popular because they hold tons of information compared to a string of digits on a bar code. I know a lot about barcoding, but I don’t think it should be used for humans.
Well, well. What do you know?

Even Mark Zuckerberg is leaving California for Texas
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/even-mark-zuckerberg-is-leaving-california-for-texas
I am sure Texans are thrilled./ sarc
This has played a role in my decision to never move to Texas.
I cannot help but think that evil Android Fuckerberg has ulterior motives.
Of course he does. Why would such a wimpy puppet and lover all things prog want to live in Texas other than to make trouble at the behest of the people who put him up on that post.
I just had my 3rd “final courtesy notice” call of this week from the auto warranty company that won’t take no for an answer.
Long but very funny

FUCK MY LIFE. My high-school junior sat at the lunch table, masked, across from a kid who several days later (today) tested positive for Covid. That kid is asymptomatic and his hysterical mother tested him when he went home to lunch today.
And now my kid is being punished for being unvaccinated. All the other kids, the ones who took the injections that everybody now admits do nothing against Omicron, get to do a self-test and come back tomorrow. My kid, who did not take the injections that everybody now admits do nothing against Omicron, is forced to stay at home FOR A FULL GODDAMNED WEEK and I have to spend 40 euros to take him for a laboratory test for… reasons? I don’t fucking know.
This is my most social kid. This bullshit has destroyed his high school years. He told me last year (when it was his first year at this school), about halfway through, that he didn’t know what anybody looked like because he had never seen them unmasked. Kids and young people are having their youth stolen from them forever. And nobody gives a shit. I am SO ANGRY.
I need to get one of those OSHA “It’s been __ days since our last workplace accident” signs and modify it to say “It’s been __ days since our last unplanned, mandatory school vacation.”
I was up to 2 days when this happened, because the elementary school kids (who aren’t subject to the punishment regime that is used in the high schools) were sent home last Friday because of another asymptomatic kid.
So sorry Jadzia
So unfair, considering the vaccine does squat to prevent omicron
No kidding, right?????
While I don’t wish illness on any child, it would be good if one or more of the vaccinated kids tests positive, and your child remains completely well. My daughter insisted the only way to keep Crash from getting covid was to vaccinate her at the earliest possible moment. She did, and Crash spent Christmas vacation stuck at home with covid. She’s fine and back in school, but now my daughter is wrestling with guilt because she doesn’t know what long term effects she may have exposed Crash to for nothing. I. of course, hope there are none, but I won’t apologize for taking a modicum of pleasure in my daughter’s angst.
Arrgh! Nesting error.
Well, my older daughter goes to this same school and her two best friends, both vaccinated the second it became available, got it. The rules seem to be different for them, I am guessing because they are in the middle school, not the high school. (Ironically, the kid on the unplanned vacation SHOULD be in middle school, but he skipped 2 grades and that’s why he’s in high school.)
Both girls’ symptoms consisted of 2 days of a runny nose and a scratchy throat, plus 5 days of intense boredom.
My daughter, and all my other kids, remain uninfected.
Nobody sees the irony in any of this.
I hope Crash is OK. Hopefully her mom will think twice before forcing a booster on her.
That is horrible. I’m so sorry for the kids who are losing high school. This makes me think of the olden days when my son was in kindergarten. He went to Catholic school and when the bell rang for end of recess the kids had to line up in specific order at the door and Sister Patti would come and lead them in to their classroom. Well Sister Patty was late one day and found most of the boys line in a pig pile. So I got a call at home over that. Then at lunch I got another call, seems my son had broken out in chicken pox (before the USA used the vaccine) and I had to go pick him up. I swear he was fine when I sent him to school. So Chicken Pox is a real virus with real symptoms and all the pig pile boys started breaking out a week later and of course the girls a week after that. Now that was a small scale epidemic and 30 years latter people still bring it up to me and clearly consider it my fault.
I got chicken pox in Brownies. I was the troop leader. 🙂
I got Chicken Pox when I was 37. I got it from my kids.
You have my sympathy. I had chicken pox in places the little kids didn’t have places.
Hoooly crap.
I am immune to chicken pox although I have never had it and never been vaccinated and indeed cared for my daughters when they got it and I STILL didn’t get it. Either I’m a freak of nature or, more likely, I actually did have it as a baby and nobody noticed.
We care Jadzia.
Fuck those frogs. 😉
Ha ha I’m right there with you. Fuuuuck them.
I wish I had a thoughtful, meaningful thing to say. I would if I were Somebody or elliesmom, or the rest of TCH. But all I can say is I am SO ANGRY right along with you. What the kids of the world have sacrificed so that the adults can feel they control something about this pandemic is heartbreaking and criminal.
I watched little kids during their remote learning last year say, “My heart is breaking because I feel so lonely”. This was a little boy in FIRST GRADE in Evanston. No child in first grade should even think that his heart is breaking much less speak it. I watched and hugged my granddaughter weep when her teacher didn’t recognize that she had a question about a math problem. Because we all know that in real school, the teacher would absolutely see Calamity’s hand waving to ask for help.
Children throughout the world have been isolated and chastened and abused by adults WHO SHOULD KNOW BETTER. I am so sorry that your son is one of those kids who continues to be hurt by “grown ups”.
There is so much to be angry about. Jadzia, I am beyond sorry your kids and you are going through this. I am sorry any child has to have their life turned upside down, for something that largely doesn’t affect them in the first place.
People who have no clue, are making rules they most likely don’t follow , for the rest of us. We have to get these people out of power.
You are absolutely right. I want to see these people swinging from lampposts, but I will accept an election loss. Hell, at this point I would even be okay with these assholes declaring victory and taking the credit, I just want this nightmare to end. But it is crystal clear that compliance, even if I wasn’t worried about side effects and whatnot, will do nothing to end this bullshit.
I have been screaming this since day one. Kids were ALWAYS the MOST at risk from the shutdown, and the world will suffer for the rest of their lives for the malicious choices made during this pandemic. I pray to God they reap what they’re sowing. Sadly I know that I and my daughter will instead, along with everyone else here. 😥
I know, right? How can it be okay to ruin their lives? And what kind of world will we be living in when they grow up and rise to power?
It’s like we all forgot that these are the people who will be choosing our nursing homes.
Oh, I never forget that! lol. After all, my sibs and I chose, along with my mother, where she happily lived her last 7 years.
I remember I got an extra week of “work from home” because I was unvaccinated. It was good for me, but I can see how it sucks for kids.
So, Biden’s mandate kicks in next week and I will have to start getting COVID tests. Let’s hope I don’t get a swab manufactured with toxic materials!
Fingers crossed 🤞🏼 🤞🏼🤞🏼
Good luck!
I just saw this at MOTUS. It is amazing . . .
Totally amazing!
WoW. Nice Mr. Game Warden 🙂
Wow!
Nice shot!!!
Wowzer!
Mitch McConnell is speaking and calling out the speech Biden gave yesterday in Georgia. I don’t have a link. But it’s a good speech. I wish I could trust anything McConnell says.
Nice it was a good speech, I just want them to DO something. 🙂
McConnell is a good fighter against Democrats, If he just avoids taking aim at Trump, he’d be fine.
need to rant
when you devalue the citizenship of a country, you devalue the country. Now in NYC noncitizens can vote. In California, illegal aliens are welcome and given many benefits more than a lot of citizens. Bid-on and the benedicts are undermining this country and her safety. we do not need outside enemies, we have bid-on and the benedicts.
You are 100% correct Helen. I just hope the damage they are doing can be fixed, before we completely lose this country.

what is this????
I wish he would stop talking about the vaccine. He is getting people annoyed and losing support each time he mentions it.

Trump Appears to Call Ron DeSantis ‘Gutless’ For Refusing to Declare ‘Booster’ Status.
Former President Donald J. Trump blasted politicians – apparently including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis – as “gutless” for refusing to reveal whether or not they received a COVID-19 booster dose.
https://thenationalpulse.com/2022/01/12/trump-appears-to-call-ron-desantis-gutless-for-refusing-to-declare-booster-status/
Trump believes Operation Ward Speed was the crowning glory of his presidency. If it turns out the vaccines are near worthless, or even worse, cause more harm than good, it’s going to be devastating to him.
I don’t think so. Trump knew there would be vaccines eventually and he wanted the US to be first in line. The vaxx effectiveness seems to be inverse to the age of the recipient. Trump was only really around for the old people / first responder rollout. Jabbing first graders wasn’t his doing.
The vaccines are turning out not to be all that effective in older people, either. Older people are the most vaccinated cohort, and we should be seeing a substantial drop in the number of deaths post vaccination, and we just haven’t. At the beginning of the pandemic a lot of older people died because doctors were using bad procedures to treat people. Improvements in treatment may account for more lives being saved than the vaccines. The other statistic to watch is what percentage of people who are being hospitalized with covid have received a booster shot. The number of vaccine failures has been growing since the booster shot program has begun. That could be explained by postulating there’s a new variant that the vaccine can’t attack, or it could be the more injections you get, the more you’re likely to get the new variant. Only more numbers will give that answer,
But as far as Trump is concerned, whether he planned to vaccinate everyone or not, he approved and exuberantly encouraged the fast-tracking of an experimental vaccine before the testing was completed. If the vaccine turns out to be harmful, the fan will be pointed in his direction. And he was POTUS and stood on the dais with Fauci and Birx nodding in approval when they proclaimed “15 days to flatten the curve”. Trump put the lockdowns into motion. I like Trump and would vote for him again, but if the vaccines turn out to be a debacle, the buck will legitimately stop with him.
I just read this essay about the efficacy of the vaccines and the boosters. I sent it to dd#1 who has voiced ongoing concerns about my vaccine status. I hope she reads it. Since it refers to the NYT she may take a peek.

Pharma & media will never admit vaxs are a debacle.
That will, unwittingly protect Trump. They will have no choice in order to protect themselves. Trump saying today (as I note below) that the young & healthy shouldn’t get vaxxed is a turning point in messaging. I expect to see others in MSM start saying the same. Watch.
You know me. I’m not a Trump apologist. I just don’t see how he would have been able to just say “Nope, America’s not interested in a a vaccine” back in the Summer of 2020.
Trump also said today he didn’t think the young & healthy should get the vax.
He’s 100% correct. The vax is for the older/at risk people.
I’ve noticed that the ones who have has side effects/adverse reactions are mostly under 40. I don’t have scientific evidence, but I’m convinced that is because no one under 40 should be getting the vax.

Thank God for Project Veritias
I was just listening to an epidemiologist from Yale’s school of Public Health talking on the Ben Shapiro radio show. He was talking about this as well as how tainted the “ research” on HCQ was. He said this took place in fall of 2019. Interesting. Criminal.
His name was pronounced Reesh. I don’t know the spelling.
The man who spoke at the end of Ben Shapiro show today was Harvey Risch. Some info about him is at the link.
