It is Monday.  I’m here in my office nestled between two stadiums in Seattle.  There is a chill in the air, and I have work to do.

Headlines that caught my eye this morning:

1.  Antisemitic Comments Increase Across Chinese Social Media

2.  Joe Biden’s Impeachment is Looking More Likely

3.  Federal office buildings are 80% vacant

, government audit finds

4.  Protesters delay start of Cal-USC football game in Berkeley

And now the Stupid Commentary:

I haven’t actually read the stories attached to these headlines.  They are as I copied them from Drudge.

1.  I am NOT surprised.  In case anyone hadn’t noticed, but social media all over the world has always been somewhat anti-Semitic.

2.  Republicans were always going to impeach the next Democratic president as a payback for Trump’s two impeachments.  It’s a childish game that has no chance of going anywhere.

3.  Is there a complaint here somewhere?

4.  I’d be worried if students at Berkeley weren’t protesting about something.  I think the school offers credit for protesting.  But from what I heard on NPR this morning, the students weren’t protesting world events, they were protesting the firing of a teacher.

Now For an Interesting Test:

How observant are you?  Do you consider yourself an aware person?  Would you like to find out just how aware you really are?

Awareness Test

How did you  do?

Okay, that’s it for you reprobates.  Have a great day, and don’t do anything that I wouldn’t do.

  1. My signature has been verified and my vote will be counted.

     

    Vote by mail works like a champ.

      1. I’m not the one pretending that voting by mail is a bad thing because you lost the 2020 election.

        Ironically, Trump probably could have won if he hadn’t convinced you people that voting by mail is bad.  How many of you guys stayed home because of this?

        And I’m the one who is naïve?

  2. Here’s some news you may not have seen:
    Fauci-run Montana lab experimented on Wuhan coronavirus strain BEFORE pandemic
    Bats, coronaviruses and Fauci were at the center of a U.S. taxpayer-funded study conducted more than a year before COVID — at a lab in Montana.
    Just in time for Halloween, a 2018 study connected to America’s most well-known mad scientist surfaced tying the National Institute of Health’s (NIH) Rocky Mountain Laboratories to the infamous Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).

    Published in the journal Viruses, research conducted at the Montana facility, overseen by then-director of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Dr. Anthony Fauci, was authored by researchers along with known WIV collaborator from the University of North Carolina, Ralph Baric.

    But Fauci knew NOTHING about the coronavirus.

    When is this guy going to jail?

    1. I see which side of the average you belong to…

      I don’t know how many times I have to point out to you the difference between actual “news” and what you like to post, which is “news/commentary”, otherwise known as someone’s opinion pulled from one’s own ass.

      BPR does not have it’s own news gathering service. They have no reporters, no nothing. The information that their ‘columnists’ use is gathered from other actual news sources, repackaged with the writer’s own opinions and points of view and passed off onto unsuspecting people like you who suck it up as if it were real fact.

      Ignorance is simply not knowing. Stupidity is knowing that you are wrong and continue on buying into it anyways.

      Stupid is, as stupid does.

  3. Soros-funded D.A. gets a taste of what she’s created after leaving $90,000 SUV unattended
    Pamela Price, the progressive prosecutor in Alameda County, California, got a look at crime, up close and personal, when her office laptop was stolen from an SUV after her bodyguard parked the vehicle Friday afternoon, according to KGO-TV in Oakland.
    And police never showed up to take a report.

    The incident took place during working hours when Price was at the Alameda County Family Justice Center about 3:30 p.m., KGO reporter Dan Noyes wrote in a social media post.
    When she returned to the vehicle, she found a window broken and several items stolen, including the laptop.

    I hope she wrote George Soros a thank-you letter.

    1. Oh no, not the boogieman, George Soros spreading his money around to influence elections.

      Tell me woman, what is your position on the Supreme Court decision, Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission 558 U.S. 310 (2010)?

      If you agreed with the decision, then maybe you should just shut the fuck up, because this is the direct result of money being used as ‘free speech’.

      For the record?

      I am — and always have been — against the ruling in Citizens United. Money has NO place in our elections, corporations are not people, and billionaires should NOT be influencing elections by spending gobs of money on issues and candidates.

      You seem to have your blinders on if you are only seeing George Soros spending money hand over fist to influence the electorate.

      In all reality, Soros is really small fry in comparison to what other billionaires are throwing into the elections.

      American billionaires spent a record $880 million on the U.S. midterm elections.

      This was written last year about the mid-term elections:

      The top donor so far is George Soros, who has contributed over $128 million to the midterms.

      Quick math: Soros spent $128 million bucks on influencing the elections. (about $128 million more than he should have, IMHO) There was a total of $880 million spent by the billionaire class. (again, $880 million more than what should have been spent)

      This means that $752 million was spent by billionaires OTHER than George Soros. Let’s delve into their political leanings, shall we?

      1. Richard Uihlein, Republican

      The second largest billionaire donor was Richard Uihlein, the Wisconsin shipping-supply magnate, and his wife Elizabeth, who have contributed $67 million to Republican candidates. Their biggest recipients — at over $20 million each — are the Club for Growth Action super PAC and a super PAC the Uihleins created themselves, called Restoration PAC, to fund conservative Senate and House candidates. They have given a total of $3.5 million to a single-candidate super PAC in Wisconsin supporting GOP Sen. Ron Johnson.

      2. Ken Griffin, Republican

      Hedge-fund billionaire Ken Griffin, who is becoming increasingly active in GOP politics, was the third largest billionaire political funder. Griffin has donated $66 million so far in this federal election cycle, according to the report. He has given to the Senate Leadership Fund and the Congressional Leadership Fund. Griffin, who recently moved to Florida from Chicago and has long battled Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, spent an additional $50 million on the unsuccessful GOP primary campaign of Richard Irvin in his run for Illinois governor.

      3. Jeffry Yass, Republican

      Jeffrey Yass, the founder of options-trading giant Susquehanna International Group, contributed $47 million. About a third of his spending was for Club for Growth Action, the conservative super PAC that supports lower taxes and less regulation.

      4.  Sam Bankman-Fried, Democrat

      A relative newcomer to the billionaire political class is Sam Bankman-Fried, the 30-year-old crypto mogul. He donated $40 million this cycle, most of it to a super PAC he created called Protect Our Future. The super PAC supported Congressional Democratic primary candidates who hold favorable positions on cryptocurrency regulation. Of the 18 primary candidates supported by Protect Our Future, 16 won, according to the report. Bankman-Fried has said he could spend up to $1 billion in the 2024 elections.

      5. Stephen Schwarzman, Republican

      Also among the top five billionaire funders is Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman, a longtime GOP donor. Schwarzman has given $33 million in the midterms, mainly to two GOP Congressional super PACs.

      6. Larry Ellison, Republican

      The list of major billionaire donors also includes Oracle’s Larry Ellison, with $31 million to his own GOP-focused PAC. 

      7. Peter Thiel, Republican

      Tech investor Peter Thiel has given $30 million, mostly to super PACs dedicated to two GOP Senate candidates — J.D. Vance in Ohio and Blake Masters in Arizona.

      8. Michael Bloomberg, Democrat

      Michael Bloomberg has spent $22 million, largely on the House Majority PAC funding Democratic candidates and the LCV Victory Fund, an environmental advocacy group. Hedge-fund billionaire Stephen Mandel of Lone Pine Capital has spent $17.7 million on Democratic groups, including the super PAC Future Forward.

      I fully agree, George Soros shouldn’t be allowed to spend his money to influence elections. NOBODY should.

      This list only shows the individual billionaires who spend gobs of money to influence elections. But that list pales in comparison to the gobs of money that corporations and yes, foreign governments through proxies spend to influence the American voter.

      It all needs to STOP.

      As far as the crime in San Francisco? It’s pretty much the same in all the “Left Coast” cities, and it’s caused by multiple factors — number one being unaffordable housing.

      Tech jobs have artificially blown housing affordability up. The average service worker and many skilled trade workers cannot afford to live within fifty miles of the city of Seattle, causing many to become homeless.

      Couple that with about fifteen years of socialist experimentation in Seattle government, and shit has just gotten completely fucked up. Like San Francisco, we had a city attorney who just stopped prosecuting low-level crime in some kind of “social justice” mindset — and we ended up shit-canning his ass last election cycle.

      We are currently in the process of ridding the city of our socialist city council in favor of more traditional thinking, so that pendulum is starting to swing back towards the proper direction.
