Sunday Overnight Open Thread (8/13/23)

Quote I

“It is important that everybody has privacy and dignity when using public facilities,” said Ms Badenoch. “Yet the move towards ‘gender-neutral’ toilets has removed this fundamental right for women and girls.” UK Equalities minister Kemi Badenoch

Quote II

"You've probably heard the adage, 'You've gotta spend money to make money.' Here, it's 'You've gotta spend money to take money,'" Dan Alban, head of the Institute for Justice's National Initiative to End Forfeiture.

Quote III

They all pushed the vaccine, they don't want to be made aware of the fact that vaccines might have caused injuries or death, so many people simply just don't want to admit they were wrong and they're going to do everything they can to make sure they're not proven wrong." Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI)

Keeping up with the Kung Flu aftermath is a difficult. First it was safe and legal. Then it was legal but not safe. Now it's safe and legal. No not abortion silly, Ivermectin.

Now that the nation is down to a mere 205 COVID deaths per week, and the pharmaceutical-industrial complex has hoovered billions of dollars in cheddar while Americans watched loved ones die on hospital ventilators via Facetime, after tens of thousands of people have suffered adverse effects from the vaccine clot-shot — now the FDA claims it’s always been cool for doctors to give their patients a cheap drug many folks knew helped people with the Bat-stew flu.

Oh really? Roll the tape.

FACT-O-RAMA! The punchinellos at the FDA beclowned themselves by tweeting, “You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it,” after podcaster and comedian Joe Rogan announced ivermectin helped him overcome COVID. Never mind that the FDA approved ivermectin for human consumption decades earlier.

There is no such thing as 100% privacy hosting. Now, will the FBI actually apprehend you? That's another topic of debate.

The mastermind behind a ransomware hosting service that allegedly helped criminals collect more than 5,000 bitcoin in ransom from hundreds of victims was indicted in federal court this week, prosecutors announced Thursday. At current prices, that bitcoin would be worth more than $146 million.

Artur Grabowski’s LolekHosted service operated for about a decade and advertised itself as a haven for “everything but child porn,” according to Florida prosecutors. Clients allegedly used the hosting service to deploy ransomware viruses that infected around 400 networks around the world. Ransomware attacks typically lock and encrypt the data on an organization’s computers so they’re unusable until the victim pays a fee.

So you want to play games, Teddy? Well OK. They can play games too!

A ritzy NYC hotel is suing a rich teen, alleging he responded to not getting served alcohol with a petty protest accusing it of Holocaust denial

An NYC hotel banned a wealthy teenager after he kept trying to buy alcohol while underage.
He started picketing outside, with signs accusing the hotel of Holocaust denial, it said.
The Mark Hotel in Manhattan's Upper East Side is now suing the 19-year-old for libel and slander.

The lawsuit alleges that Theodore Weintraub, then 17, tried multiple times in 2021 to get served alcohol while underage using a fake ID at The Mark Hotel in the Upper East Side of Manhattan.

Teddy has a great future as a Democratic congresscritter.......

Good luck with that protest. The NFL is pure Woke.

“At this moment in history, we are formally requesting that the team revitalize its relationship with the American Indian community by (i) changing the name back to ‘The Redskins’ which recognizes America’s original inhabitants and (ii) using the team’s historic name and legacy to encourage Americans to learn about, not cancel, the history of America’s tribes and our role in the founding of this Great Nation,” the letter said.

“Should we need to encourage a national boycott similar to what happened with Anheuser Busch (Bud Light) which is now down $27 billion (note, not one brick thrown, not one highway blocked, not one bridge burned) — WE WILL DO JUST THAT,” the letter continued.

The letter also warned that it would stand its ground because, if “you don’t acknowledge history, we are doomed to repeat it.”

I'm glad I like parking 3 acres over from the store. Genius Award Winners.

SALT LAKE CITY — A man was shot and a woman was arrested Friday following an argument over a parking spot in an alley, Salt Lake police said.

The shooting occurred around midnight on Friday morning at 369 S. 940 West. Police said they responded to a report that shots had been fired and located two people "with bruising and abrasions consistent with a fight," according to a police booking affidavit. A bullet hole was found in the back window of a vehicle at the scene.

The 31-year-old woman believed to have been involved initially denied knowledge of a shooting, but later admitted she fired her own gun after claiming she heard shots during the altercation with the man, police said. Officers located a 33-year-old man in a nearby residence with a gunshot wound to his shoulder.
