Sunday Overnight Open Thread

Quote I

“We have made every effort to reach a fair agreement, including making six offers to the union throughout negotiations, all which have included wage and benefits increases for every employee. It appears the union created unrealistic expectations for our employees,” Chris Hood, president of Kellogg North America

Quote II

I’m older and deeply grateful for still being here. And inevitably, now there is concern about what’s next after West Side Story. And anyone who tells you otherwise is a damn liar.”Rita Moreno

Quote III

“And if you’re a businessman out there or you work or you’re a laborer, a union person working for a business — where is the business going to go? Where they can get the products to market fastest, safest, where they have access to get in and out, where they have access to move. That’s why we’re losing. That’s why we’re losing. And we’re not going to lose anymore,. I promise you. The time of losing is over. It’s over, over, over, over,” Resident of The White House Joe Biden

Oh Joe, you ignorant slut. Businesses also look at tax and environmental laws just to mention a couple of things they look at before if I75 is down the street. Fucking dumb shit.

MisHum,

I just wanted to send a note to let everyone know that despite how bad everything looked and could have been with the Amazon warehouse collapse, the community overall was relatively unscathed. I have been receiving emails, texts, and calls from around the country asking if we are ok. It warehouse seemed to be a localized hit and considering that it is likely that over 50 people were inside, it could have been much, much worse.

That being said, I’d like to thank our police, fire, and emt’s for their bravery with this catastrophe. The area’s fire departments may each have a small full-time staff, but the vast majority are well trained volunteers and they left the safety of their homes to help save those trapped inside. In addition, they stayed on-site despite a second wave of thunderstorms and tornadoes sweeping through the area and focused on getting those people out despite quickly worsening conditions.

As always, prayers for those who lost their lives as well as for those injured and their families.

Thanks,

Our prayers up for everyone touched by the storms this past weekend.

A sad commentary on life. MEMORIAL BLOODBATH - Baytown mass shooting in Texas sees one killed and seven others gunned down at a celebration of life candlelit vigil

Sgt. Greg Campbell said: "While they were having their celebration of life and releasing balloons in the air, an unknown suspect drove down this road and shot rounds into that group of people."

Campbell said the victims took themselves to Houston Methodist Baytown Hospital.

When the victims arrived at the hospital, Campbell said "a large fight ensued" — prompting other agencies to be called for help.

Witness Sidney William told ABC13 he hear approximately 20 to 30 gunshots, which let to people "screaming and running to their cars."

Hey Toni, just shut the fvck up.

Dr. Anthony Fauci can't say whether people will need annual COVID-19 COVID-19 boosters, a question being posed by many as new variants of the coronavirus, like Omicron, arise.

"It's tough to tell," Fauci, the nation's leading infectious disease expert, said during an interview Sunday on ABC News "This Week" with George Stephanopoulos.

Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said that besides an increased level of protection against the coronavirus, a booster could increase the durability of the immune system's protection, which won't be measurable for a "period of months."

Maybe Dr. Science should be looking at other treatments instead of being in green rooms every weekend.

Hospitalizations, Mortality Cut In Half After Brazilian City Offered Ivermectin To Everyone Pre-Vaccine

Early on in the pandemic, before the vaccines were available, the Southern Brazilian city of Itajai offered Ivermectin as a prophylaxis against the disease.

133,051 people took them up on it, while 87,466 did not.

After analyzing the data, a team of researchers spanning several Brazilian institutes, the University of Toronto, and Columbia's EAFIT concluded in a December pre-print study that hospitalization and mortality rates were cut in half over the seven month period among the Ivermectin group.

Author Anne Rice, RIP.

The author’s son Christopher revealed the news on Facebook and said that she would be interred in the family mausoleum at Metairie Cemetery in New Orleans in a private ceremony.

So under two weeks to go until Christmas. Need some shopping ideas? Favorite toys throughout the world.

Could this be the perfect Christmas present for the "Karen" in your life? Social Distance Zapper.

I've always been into social distancing before the Kung Flu. It's called "Isolation" and the local is "Casa Misanthrope".

How is that prick working out for you?

The NBA’s Chicago Bulls are missing nine players from their roster due to COVID-19 protocol, according to a report on Sunday, including stars Zach LeVine and Troy Brown, leaving only half of the team’s current roster available for Tuesday’s game with the Detroit Pistons.

“Under league rules, the Bulls need to have eight eligible players vs. the Pistons on Tuesday. There have been no Covid-related postponements in the NBA this season, but the Bulls outbreak — with LaVine and Troy Brown the latest — continues and postponements could be an option,” ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski tweeted Sunday.

Well, if you're going to playing games with The Man. Expect some retaliation. That doesn't make it right. Just facts.

A man filmed a Massachusetts state trooper taking a nap in his car. Then he was retaliated against, he says.

While we are on the subject of police. When there is a threat of gunfire and the cops show up, do you worry if they have been pricked for the Kung Flu?

LOS ANGELES — Reports have surfaced out of Los Angeles that on Thursday, December 9, officers responded to a threat of a shooting at Watts Middle School. When LAPD officers arrived to investigate, they were asked by school officials to show proof of vaccination. When officers did not comply with that request, they were instructed by school Director Sims that they would not be allowed on campus per school policy. According to sources from El American, the police then left the school campus.

One more non-profit charitable organization I won't donate to. The Make A Wish Foundation is rejecting wishes of children who weren't pricked.

They have not lifted the vaccine mandate for Wishes that involve air travel or large gatherings. If the child’s Wish is to go to Disneyland, for example, then it would be denied if the child is unvaccinated.

Read the last paragraph of the Foundation’s statement: “Our decision to lift restrictions on wishes involving air travel and large gatherings for children and families ‘who are vaccinated’ is the first step of our phased reemergence plan and is based on advice from pediatricians and other medical professionals on our National Medical Advisory Council, as well as guidance from public health organizations like the CDC and American Academy of Pediatrics. We look forward to the day when we can lift all pandemic-related restrictions.”

Hey Gov. DeSantis of Florida. I triple dawg dare you!!

A good friend and frequent email correspondent has been saying for years that we need to send all the illegal immigrants to places where there is plenty of room for them: thinly populated areas like Marin County, the Hamptons, Martha’s Vineyard, Nancy Pelosi’s mansion. That would get the wall built even faster than Hispanics voting Republican.

It seems that my friend may have been emailing Ron DeSantis: DeSantis Proposes $8 Million in Budget to Relocate Illegal Immigrants to Delaware, Martha’s Vineyard.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis set $8 million in his 2022–23 budget to transport illegal immigrants out of The Sunshine State.

He proposed the spending in the Freedom First Budget to protect against harms resulting from illegal immigration. The spending may include the transportation of unauthorized aliens located within Florida to other states or the District of Columbia

Republican governors talk tough and decisive. After beating back his recall challenge CA Gov. Newsome is attempting to rid the State of CA of all guns. Dems aren't afraid to use their bully pulpit and the courts.

Gavin Newsom Says He’ll Use Texas Abortion Law as a Blueprint to Further Limit Gun Rights in California

On Friday, the Supreme Court let a Texas law stand which allows individuals to sue abortion providers who perform the procedures after 15 weeks. The Court hasn’t upheld the law. Instead, they let it remain in effect while lower courts consider its constitutionality.

Newsom, in a fit of hoplophobic pique, has decided to use the same tool to go after manufacturers, distributors, and sellers of “assault weapons” or “ghost gun” kits in the formerly Golden State. In other words, he’ll work with the legislature to draft, pass, and sign a law that will allow any Californian to sue those who make and sell the kinds of guns Newsom doesn’t like, unleashing a torrent of nuisance suits intended to put such companies and individuals out of business.

45-Year-Old Woman Impersonates 22-Year-Old Student for Two Years, No One Notices

A 45-year-old woman who stole her estranged daughter’s identity managed to fool everyone that she was 22 for two years, enrolling in university and dating boyfriends who were convinced she was in her early 20s.

Laura A. Oglesby risks spending five years behind bars without parole, as part of a plead deal, after admitting to stealing her 22-year-old daughter’s identity and comitting Social Security fraud. The 45-year-old woman had lived with her daughter in Jonesboro, Arkansas, before moving in Missouri, after they lost contact.
