Tuesday Overnight Open Thread (2/1/22)

Quote I

“That’s why it’s so important that we stop defining ‘womanhood’ in terms of ‘motherhood,’ because it’s a false equivalency that all women can become mothers, that all mothers carry their children, or that all people who carry children are mothers.” Los Angeles resident Bennett Kaspar-Williams

Just another mentally ill person making an ONT appearance.

“Folks, the surface above treeline is wind-scoured chicken heads, dinner plates and hard frozen sun cups. It is not skiable, not hike-able and extremely dangerous,” Portland Mountain Rescue

Quote III

The American people, taking one with another, constitute the most timorous, sniveling, poltroonish, ignominious mob of serfs and goose-steppers ever gathered under one flag in Christendom since the end of the Middle Ages. H. L. Mencken

I guess being platformed on iTunes with Apple's support of Communist China is a good thing for these American hating lefties. More Spotify departures.

The artist departures from Spotify related to Joe Rogan’s controversial comments about COVID-19 continue to roll in after Neil Young led the charge, and after Spotify addressed the issue and Rogan issued an apology. The latest performers to ask the streaming service to remove their catalogs? Graham Nash and India Arie.

Nash issued a statement on Tuesday announcing his support of his former bandmate Young and taking the streamer to task for continuing to enable Rogan.

I think we learned from Andrew Breitbart and President Trump to name a few, don't back down and don't apologize to the Cancel Culture Crowd.

The NFL faces one more legal challenge.

Former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores filed a class-action lawsuit against the team, NFL, and New York Giants for alleged racial discrimination on Tuesday.

"In making the decision to file the class action complaint today, I understand that I may be risking coaching the game that I love and that has done so much for my family and me," Flores said in a statement. "My sincere hope is that by standing up against systematic racism in the NFL, others will join me to ensure that positive change is made for generations to come."

First of all, the Rooney Rule (African-Americans have to be interviewed for head-coaching positions) is Bullshit. Secondly, if I were the owner of an NFL team I could care less if the coach is white, brown, black, yellow or green. I want a winner. Period. Speaking of Flores' record, Regular season: 24-25 (.490) that's not a winner. That's not even a break even record.

Some of you may wonder why this isn't the Ace of Spades Pet Thread. Because it isn't. Unless you truly require a 'service dog' there is no excuse for bringing a dog inside a retail store.

A dog urinated in the middle of an aisle at a busy Trader Joe’s went viral on TikTok, with many commenters criticizing the woman for bringing her pet into a grocery store.

‘Mole Man’ on TikTok, posted footage of him walking around the beloved chain grocery store. Upon spotting a dog whose leash was tied up to the handle on a shopping cart, Mole Man and other onlookers noticed the dog was standing alongside a puddle of its urine.

The mess was quickly spotted by an employee who called out: ‘Is this anybody’s dog?’ as she pointed to the shopping cart the dog was tied to.

American Thinker writer Steve McCann is a much kinder man than I. Fuck Europe.

Since 1916 and the First World War, United States foreign policy has been dominated by Eurocentrism. Following the Second World War, America has been the military protector of Western Europe for 73 years through the North Atlantic Treaty Organization or NATO.

Now the time has come to disband NATO and tell the countries of Europe, in particular Germany, that they are on their own, as this nation must focus on its ever-growing domestic problems and the global threat of Communist China.

The United States should have begun the process of severing military commitments with Europe after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. After all, protecting Europe and thus the United States against Soviet aggression was the primary purpose of NATO. But an irrational fear of a non-existent nation and its former satellites still persists and has been conferred on its much smaller and less formidable successor, Russia. Together with the compulsive need to defend a prosperous continent these two pillars still form the basis of American military planning and international policy.

The divorce process should have been accelerated in 1993 when the anti-democratic European Union comprising 27 European countries and unified economic, social, and security policies came into being. The combined population of these nations is 33% larger and their overall annual Gross National Product is second only to the United States. Since 1993 Europe has been more than capable of defending itself

Whatever happened to sitting in the corner staring at your shoes and eating munchies?

A man in Thailand’s bong session went disastrously wrong, according to his doctors. In a new case report, they describe how he “completely amputated his penis” using scissors, apparently due to a rare episode of cannabis-induced psychosis. Though the man’s delusional symptoms faded after being admitted to the hospital and his injuries were treated, doctors weren’t able to reattach the lost appendage.

The bizarre injury was detailed in a paper published over the weekend in the Journal of Medical Case Reports by doctors from Chiang Mai University in Thailand.

The 23-year-old man had reportedly been a regular cannabis user for the past two years but had stopped for the preceding three months. He then got back into his habit by smoking two bongs of cannabis, equivalent to two grams worth, according to the paper. Two hours later, he began to experience an unwanted erection, along with a severe and persistent sharp pain in his penis; he also reported that his glans (the tip of the penis) looked “distorted” to him. In an attempt to stop the pain, he decided to grab a pair of scissors and to “trim the penile skin several times.” Eventually, he severed his penis clean off, leaving behind an inch-long stump.

Canadian police seeking assistance of tow truck companies in the removal of trucks participating in the blockade of the Canada-U.S. border are coming up short due to the company’s refusal to assist in dismantling the protest.

As detailed by Rebel News, truckers have blockaded the roads in southern Alberta to protest the federal government’s COVID-19 restrictions and mandates.

According to local towing companies that spoke with the Western Standard, police have placed requests since Sunday for them to assist the RCMP in the removal of trucks and other vehicles participating in the protest. The companies said that they would not be doing so.

WTF made this guy think this would work? Genius Award Winner.

SEYMOUR, Conn. (WTNH) – The Seymour Fire Department put out a fire on Walnut St. on Saturday night that was caused by the homeowner attempting to melt snow with a garden-torch, responders say.

At 5:37 p.m., the Seymour Fire Department was dispatched for the reported structure fire.

Upon arriving, dispatch quickly discovered the cause: a garden-torch.

A little crumb crucher gets his own skating rink. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.

7-year-old Keegan was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in November 2018. He is expected to complete his treatment with Helen DeVos Children's Hospital in April of this year.

Keegan's mother, Raeann Elliott, said his symptoms began like a normal illness.

"It was a fever and an ear infection. But antibiotics weren't helping," she said.

Keegan was taken to the pediatrician after three days of not feeling well, and was then taken to the Emergency Room to be evaluated.

"Essentially the ER doc that walked in knew something was wrong," Elliott said. "And we knew within three hours, four hours that it was leukemia."
