Wish I remember what it said or where I read it, but I saw an article listing an evergrowing list of serious fibs by HW about himself.

When we look for persuadable voters, the people who habitually vote Dem who might change sides, she is not likely one of them, but I like that she's mad about gas prices.

The hardest of the hard left need to be defeated, not converted.

Like Bill O'Reilly said

many who vote Democrat automatically are just plain *dumb*

My only surprise is she didn't mention TRUMP!!!! in her rant

I would have hated to be the gas pump attendant at Costco.   :-o

Ginni Thomas is a "Filthy Liar" for saying she doesn't discuss hr political activism with her husband,
but no problem with Joe doesn't talk to Hunter about their business on 17 hour flights, and lunches, dinners photos opps with the customers.

One generation before us, a married woman was often formally called Mrs. [husbands first and last name].  Does anyone remember that?  How [not] far we have come.

"So I'm at Tesco buying a bag of Purina dog food for my dog. While in the check-out line, a woman behind me asked if I had a dog. Why else would I be buying dog food, RIGHT??? So on impulse I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, I was starting the Purina Diet again, and that I probably shouldn't because I ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in intensive care with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms. I told her that it was essentially a Perfect Diet and all you do is load your pockets with Purina Nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete so it works well and I was going to try it again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in line was now enthralled with my story.) Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food poisoned me. I told her no, I stepped off a curb to sniff a poodle's butt and a car hit me. I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard."

One of the most amazing things I've seen is the complete disappearance of this war from US left-liberal discourse.

Other than a Chomsky video here and a rogue Jacobin writer there, this war basically doesn't exist in mainstream left US discourse. They have *nothing* to say.

White suburban women voting for GOP is 'like roaches voting for Raid,' The View

White suburban women voting for GOP is 'like roaches voting for Raid,' The View host says

Co-host of ABC's "The View," Sunny Hostin, said during Thursday's episode that a recent Wall Street Journal poll indicating suburban white women had shifted their support significantly to Republicans was "almost like roaches voting for Raid."

Colleges (and leftists) can make the most
most simplex things complex, and sometimes turn them upside down.

Vox, a liberal site, lists the questions the midterms will answer.  This one is telling.

"4) How potent is abortion as a political motivator?
Though the economy remains the predominant issue, abortion rights still rank highly on the minds of voters — especially among Democrats, liberals, women, and college-educated voters."
https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2022/11/7/23441115/midterm-election-questions-answers-results
------------
Isn't that funny, "college educated voters" favor abortion more than those 'less educated'. The longer you remain in indoctrination, um, college, the harder it is for you to see the most simple truth of abortion.  Every 'successful abortion' is the intentional taking of the most innocent of human life. 

The issue of abortion to a liberal is the taking of the "right' to take that life.

The earlier in life you leave our educational system, the more clearly you see that very few other facts or circumstances (cf. rape, incest, life of the mother) justify the taking of an unborn life.

Begs the question, especially in politics, are the college educated really more educated?

Yes.  Can't they just play soccer.  Or don't schedule your event in their country.  Or don't go.  Or change your shirt.

When did gay go from a private matter to a political cause?

Why don't we refuse to sign an Iran deal until they accept homosexuality?  Instead we send them planeloads of money and tell them everyone is welcome.

In our country, the gays and the gay denying Muslims are in the same political party.  How do you advance either cause that way?  And they all hate Republicans who want liberty for both.

No wonder most of our threads start with 'cognitive dissonance'.

Beria quotes actually fit quite nicely today's Dem party

Lavrentiy Beria

of course his famous:

"Show me the man and I’ll find you the crime"

and others are fitting:

"The enemies of the Soviet state calculate that the heavy loss we have borne will lead to disorder and confusion in our ranks. But their expectations are in vain: bitter disillusionment awaits them"

""Let us call to strict account all who try to degrade the organisational and ideological principles of Leninism" [progressivism]

"Scream or not, it doesn't matter"

"Let us once and for all root out the seeds of individual ambition. Let us smash any manifestation of anti-party groupism, put an end to efforts to destroy party discipline, in whatever form these efforts manifest themselves"

Cognitive Dissonance of the left, Biden's Corvette, internal combustion engine

He wants to ban this car, and this smile. 

Top down no doubt already violates new safety standards.  MPG is already illegal.  Plus it looks like he is emitting CO2 for fun, not necessary transportation.
https://www.fuelly.com/car/chevrolet/corvette/1967

Look how proud he is of his 8 cylinders, more engine and acceleration than he would ever need - or can legally use.  Scroll right.

David Gergen (I never understood why in the world he gets to bloviate on CNN since I have yet , in decades, ever heard him say anything that was not common sense that anyone could conclude without his worthless opinions )

I love how he totes the LEFT's argument that Biden's problem is not a "legal" problem, but only a "political" problem.
And how the Biden's team for playing  "by the book" and doing an admirable job of doing the right thing (yrs after the fact and only due to leaks or fear of Republicans finding this out).

Already the LEFT is "taking criminal action " "off the table "
in advance => fix is already taking shape.

I can hear it now.   Even though technically a crime , no responsible prosecutor will bring criminal charges for this .

one estimate puts obesity related deaths at ~ 500,000

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/eclinm/article/PIIS2589-5370(22)00159-6/fulltext

however I don't really know how anyone can make any kind of accurate estimate
since obesity is so mixed in with everything else

this data could be totally flawed admittedly
but if one includes other health concerns such as sleep apne
heartburn joint wear and tear
back pain
cancers

who really knows other then it has to be huge (no pun intended)

I do recall having a 90 yo lady in the hospital circa 1987 who weighed 350, but that has got to be so rare

"Pay no attention to all the young, healthy people who die suddenly."

well no , I don't think I said this

certainly we must try to figure out the true extant of vaccine injury

if possible, though very difficult

Indeed, sorting it out from vaccine or actual corona infection or other causes very difficult and in some cases likely impossible.

What do you feel about Pfizer being the one to look at this ?
This is how a I feel about that:

 :x  :roll:

I would also be for Pfizer Moderna AZ J&J setting up a fund for those who can be proven injured

The problem with that is it then leads to massive fraud with everyone who has medical illness claiming it is vaccine related
and then unscrupulous doctors and lawyers diving head first into the bonanza

for example fen-Phen

when paid off cardiologists were claiming every abnormal echo and reading them all as abnormal so those who took the meds could claim. injury

and the look the other way lawyers claiming they were just going by the doctor's "expertise"

like doctors who make up bills
like lawyers who pad their bills

Another example is 911.  So every human being that has any illness may or may not be linked to exposure to the twin towers can be claimed due to that.
When not really able to "prove " a negative then this is what we see.

"I would also be for Pfizer Moderna AZ J&J setting up a fund for those who can be proven injured"

I have not followed the issue with precision, but my understanding is that a big part of all of this is that the government (IIRC beginning with President Trump (and Congress?) gave Big Pharma legal immunity in order to encourage super rapid development of the vaxxes.  My understanding is that the moves by the bureaucracies (CDC, NIH? etc) to expand requiring the vaxxes to children all while Pharma is immune from legal responsibility angered us here and properly so.

Working from memory from first year Torts (so we are going back over 40 years!) is that the cost certain categories of risk should be spread out over the entire class instead of being born just by the few unlucky ones.

I am not sure what you mean here . I meant all the vaccine makers

do we  add Trump and the medical (such as Fauci) and other bureaucrats to the list of drug companies to be held responsible
