@Foxhuntingman. Coming back to Michigan. There was a commenter, I believe the name was Spartacus, who commented from time to time on Michigan voting irregularities and what corrective actions he was taking. He had a number of good recommendations to reduce the amount of cheating in MI elections. It is important that independent checkers be present during all the ballot counting duration and to be fully involved in the verification of the legality of the ballots actually cast. I know that is a big order but it must be done – especially in Wayne and Genesee counties. Can you provide an update on what the Rep Party in MI is doing to combat voter fraud. Michigan should be in the bag for Trump – I know Michiganders – They are solid people for the most part – but with all the deception who knows?
Yeaterday’s assassination attempt on the Slovak PM Robert Fico — in serous condition after surgery for three bullet wounds —certainly looks like an a politically motivated “attack on Democracy,” as a Member of Parliament calls it.
It happens nearly five weeks after the Ukraine supporting Slovak President was defeated in the April 7 election, putting a Fico ally into that ceremonial office. BBC has more:
Interior Minister Matus Sutaj Estok told a news conference on Thursday that the suspect had acted alone and that he had previously taken part in anti-government protests.
“This is a lone wolf whose actions were accelerated after the presidential election since he was dissatisfied with its outcome,” he said.
Peter Pellegrini, a populist and ally of Robert Fico [who is opposed to more Ukraine war support], won April’s vote [for Slovak] President.

What in tarnation has Pierre Delecto been smoking??
}}} @ Xylourgos Can you provide an update on what the Rep Party in MI is doing to combat voter fraud.
Not much — Michigan just increased its chances for fraud by altering the rules to enable more fraud. The Dems control the legislature and the governor.
Mitt Romney, a kind of candidate that CC™ can stand behind!
In 2012 when choosing between Mittens and BHO I didn’t hesitate to vote for Mittens. But The Great Orange Whale broke The Severe Conservative and The Severe Conservative has shown his true proclivities since then, reverting to his MA governor mode.
A few years ago a friend had her two nieces, fourth and sixth grades, visit for a couple weeks. She and her husband bought multiplication flash cards and offered each girl $100 for learning them. The girls declined; too much trouble.
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-For-Now, Utah) told MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle on Wednesday that [President] Joe Biden “made an enormous error” in his duties as POTUS….
…Romney’s estimation of Biden’s “enormous error” was that our sometime President hasn’t pardoned former President Donald Trump….
As I said before, what is he smoking??
Or vaping?
Mainlining?
he can’t be that dense can he (rhetorical) they have lined up a ring of prosecutors so he can be pardoned later, umcay,
now the cynic in me, wonders if bain capitals joint ventures with chinese state apparat like huawei, have something to do with it,
well irvine was always the craziest campus, but it does illustrate tim blair’s law, all the most ridiculous notions merge together,
Almost undeniably a case of “You naughty Mittens, you’ve lost your marbles…”
(Not that I’d want to taint the sainted Mother Goose with this nonsense…)
I’m sure y’all know that “Bless your heart” is not a positive comment in Southern-speak. Romney says Biden should have pardoned Trump, and applied pressure to stop the state cases, because these prosecutions are turning out to boost Trump’s candidacy, and we can’t have that.
It’s hard to believe this video is real, but it is. That’s what you get when Biden’s Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers has a Bachelor’s degree in music and a Master’s degree in social work. God help us.
Oh yeah, that was a bravura performance.
Stuttering and spluttering with extraordinary virtuosity in all the right places—something not at all easy to achieve but he pulled it off with aplomb and an emotional intensity as profound as it was uplifting.
Technically? There are really no words. What can one say? He played all the wrong notes but did it with such verve and panache—such sheer beauty—that no one really could possibly have taken exception, given the state of rapture in which they were enwrapped.
All told, a breathtaking experience.
Where did they find this guy?
MMT is the economic theory of socialism, giving socialism a veneer of legitimacy.
Deficits don’t matter according to MMT theorists– just when excessive spending results in inflation, just tamp down spending in that sector to control inflation.
What happens when inflation rears it’s head in the agriculture sector? Stop spending on food?
Printing money necessarily reduces it’s value. Inside a closed system you could get away with it for a while by artificially setting the value. But how are you supposed to spend that money outside the country, where it’s true value is determined?
It’s the type of theory we get when the citizenry have become economic illiterates.
I read that “Cousins” piece a couple of days ago and have been contemplating a post on it. I found it fascinating.

“Cousins” – excellent. Thanks for linking it!
The author grew up, it turns out, in the same neighborhood as my father…went to the same synagogue—the vast and impressive Brooklyn Jewish Center—and also to the affiliated Hebrew school, it seems.
My father’s mother lived a long life in the same brownstone on President St. where my father (and his older brother) were born and grew up, so we spent quite a lot of time there over the years with my cousins (though not AS many), aunt and uncle…and other older cousins and extended family, which actually was plentiful, since they helped my grandmother raise her two sons, her husband having died several months before my father was born.
Lots of stories—Cantor Richard Tucker’s being vetted by scouts from the Metropolitan Opera, who according to my father, were recognizable by coming in late in the service and standing (or was it sitting?) in their dark suits in the back of the sanctuary. An impoverished Mark Rothkowitz (name later shortened) teaching art classes to the youngsters at the Center-run Hebrew academy.
Dodger fans, of course…where the “joke” was that in the late 50s and following, in Brooklyn, the three most-hated people on the planet were Hitler, Stalin and Walter O’Malley…not necessarily in that order…
The author’s writing is astonishing…though I’m ashamed to say that until now I’ve never heard of him… Oh well, new discoveries are always nice…etc.
“Cousins” was too depressing for me to read. I’ve envied people from large families since for ever. I have one sibling. My father was an only child. My mother had one sister who had no children herself.
“Bernie” is slightly older than my mother would be. And has a lot of the same memories my mother would have. Same area and era of Brooklyn. Which adds to the depression. Not because it reminds me of my mom. But…
Her sister is still alive and an awful piece of work. I used to drop everything and help her out whenever she called. She’s always been a malignant narcissist, but she was my mom’s sister and what little family I have. A year ago, she started losing it, however: showing signs of mild dementia. She decided I was an ungrateful wretch and stealing from her. And where she lives, unless you’re totally comatose incapacitated, you’re considered sufficiently compos mentis to name a total stranger to take up your durable POA, health care POA, and be your sole beneficiary. And even though this totally stranger picks a new lawyer for your elderly relative — from among her family friends — it’s not considered “undue influence.” She had her new lawyer to send my a nasty-gram. I can’t believe all the time I wasted helping her out over the last thirty years. Unfortunately, she also has all the stuff of memories from my grandparents. She gave my mother none of it when they died: photos, chachkies, etc. not valuable except for the sentimental value. Her new BFF will send it all to the landfill.
Now granted, I haven’t watched the video, but as to the cover screenshot, 2 x 4 = 11 is a true statement when working in base-7….
