Cam’s Crash and Burn

I’m so glad this big mouth had his ass handed to him.

After the first quarter, it was all downhill for Newton, who finished completing 5 of 21 passes for 92 yards with two interceptions and no touchdowns through the air.

Newton’s 23.8% completion rate was the worst for a quarterback with at least 20 attempts since Joey Harrington’s 5-for-22 effort for the Detroit Lions in 2004.

Worst friggin QB in 17 years , and yet he can’t just STFU.

I Had No Idea

This is what we can expect in the lower 48 if Joe and Blow remain in power. Seems to me that folk should just haul their ass out of Nome and let the blood sucking merchants choke on their own supply. (But that’s just me).

Working Tools

This is telling. The only thing they took were hammers, sledge hammers, and crowbars. In other words: the working tools for future smash and grabs.

Good luck to y’all over on the left coast.

Are You Friggen Kidding Me?

The Round Rock Independent School District (RRISD) in Texas is using its own armed agents to arrest parents who speak out against the school board’s policies, according to Christopher Rufo in the City Journal.

Two fathers, Jeremy Story and Dustin Clark, had spoken out against the school board’s “alleged corruption and school officials’ hostility toward parents.” In August, while “ producing evidence that the board had covered up an alleged assault by the superintendent, Hafedh Azaiez, against a mistress,” Story, a minister, was cut off mid-sentence as Azaiez ordered armed officers to remove him from the premises.

RRISD has it’s own police force, Rufo said, explaining: “with a three-layer chain of command, patrol units, school resource officers, a detective, and a K-9 unit.” And only a few days after Clark’s removal from school board premises, the school district “sent police officers to the homes of both men [Story and Clark], arrested them, and put them in jail on charges of ‘disorderly conduct with intent to disrupt a meeting.’” They were released the next morning.

On one side, the Biden administration, public school bureaucrats, and their armed agents; on the other, parents and families who oppose school closures, mask mandates, critical race theory and corruption.

There’s a storm brewing

Omicron (When A Delta Variant Just Won’t Do)

You can bet your last dollar that the next 20 years will be consumed by one COVID crisis after another.

It won’t be long before part of neonatal care will be a jab for the newborn.

You can kiss whatever scraps of ‘free will’ you have left goodbye. You will submit.

The new variant has more than 30 mutations in the spike protein alone, which raises fears of increased transmissibility, according to a South African researcher cited by the Times. The new variant has 10 mutations alone on the ACE2 receptor, which helps the virus to enter cells. That’s five times more mutations on that structure than the Delta variant exhibits, according to the researcher.

More from the WHO:

In recent weeks, infections have increased steeply, coinciding with the detection of B.1.1.529 variant. The first known confirmed B.1.1.529 infection was from a specimen collected on 9 November 2021.

This variant has a large number of mutations, some of which are concerning. Preliminary evidence suggests an increased risk of reinfection with this variant, as compared to other VOCs. The number of cases of this variant appears to be increasing in almost all provinces in South Africa. Current SARS-CoV-2 PCR diagnostics continue to detect this variant. Several labs have indicated that for one widely used PCR test, one of the three target genes is not detected (called S gene dropout or S gene target failure) and this test can therefore be used as marker for this variant, pending sequencing confirmation. Using this approach, this variant has been detected at faster rates than previous surges in infection, suggesting that this variant may have a growth advantage.

A Cold Rain in a Warm Cabin

It’s a cold rain that’s falling this Sunday evening and I was fortunate enough to start/finish getting hay out for the cattle.  What should have been routine. . . wasn’t.  It started off bad last week when I went to configure the tractor for hauling hay by removing the brush hog and loading bucket then installing the hay spear. 

I’m growing old (68) so I use the magic of my mind to overcome the dwindling brawn of my body.  I position the 15’ brush hog with the ‘wings up’ in the barn by placing the hand crank on the tongue and then using the hydraulic to lower the body until the pinion that attaches the tongue to the frame of the tractor is free from binding, pull pin, remove hydraulics, place 6×6 block of wood between the driveshaft and the frame and then pull on the drive shaft retaining ring (releasing it once it sets) and then removing the drive shaft from the tractor PTO. 

Now, I’ve mounted and removed that brush hog probably 50 times and once, only once, have I ever removed the drive shaft by pulling on the near side of the universal joint that exists between the Tractor PTO and the drive shaft.  That once was last week.  I guarantee you that I will never, never do that again.  The mass of metal that consists of half of the huge universal joint and about 10 inches of solid steel shaft the runs from the joint to the PTO crashed into the fingers I had inserted in the joint to ease in pulling off the assembly. 

After flopping around the barn for a good 10 minutes until my teeth and hair quit hurting, I climbed into the cab and I’ll be damned if the damned SCR/DEF system hadn’t triggered a damned fault and the damned tractor had friggin ‘de-rated’.  Again.  Damn it.  For those fortunate enough to be unfamiliar with a ‘de-rated’ engine, it means that it will not run above idle.  No way to fix it without the dealer software.  And, because the tractor dealership is friendly and helpful beyond measure, it also means that the friggin tractor will go un-repaired for 3 to 5 weeks.  Well shit, it’s getting cold and the cattle need hay.

My most helpful neighbor (Lynn) up and died on me last month so I called on another nearby farmer and he said he would move a few bales from the hay barn to the hay rings (a few hundred yards) as soon as he could.  Friday passed, Saturday passed and then Saturday evening I get a note from him.  Tractor-trailer went tango uniform in Decatur on Friday.  On Friday evening they changed Sunday’s forecast to rain so Saturday was consumed finishing off the fall harvest: he, his father and uncle and son were all engaged on some serious farm implements finishing off 3000 acres of row crop.  Sunday’s are ‘come to Jesus’ days for everyone up this-a-way but me (cause they ain’t got no Church of Thomas Whispered), so I know that Monday would be the soonest that the cows could be fed. 

So SIL calls the ‘neighbor’ to my immediate east.  He’s not really a neighbor in that he’s got a hunting lodge on 500 acres of forest and deer plots.  He comes up on weekends to hunt so he won’t be using his tractor again until spring when he replants the deer plots.  Not to make a long story any longer, we’ve got a running tractor for as long as we need it.  The cows are fed. It’s Sunday evening and I’m snacking on some wonderful homemade fermented pickles in a warm cabin wondering how long until my fingernail falls off.

All is right in my world.

Diversity, Inclusiveness and Kyle

Nothing says diversity/inclusiveness quite like segregating the population by both class and color.

Some are taking a more direct approach at solving what they perceive to be a social ill:

Still others are working themselves into a real tissy:

A Clash of Cultures

Several news outlets are reporting that this was an 80 person endeavor. They came armed and with a plan to strip Nordstrom of some of its bounty. Word is that they caught three (3) of these liberators.

It’s going to get more worser before it gets most worser. When you not only permit such a culture to grow and flourish but also encourage it you’ll end up taking it in the shorts on the back end.
