I believe he said the encryption keys are for election data, so anyone could decrypt the results data, make changes to vote totals, then encrypt the altered data to change the final results. Also they could change the tabulator settings to control how votes were counted, so there was no need to hack the Windows/BIOS code.

Is that the female Indian version of Nimrod? :-)

I voted straight Republican in KY and I highly doubt that 20% of Repubs switched their vote to the Dimm governor, but that margin of 6% would be difficult to overturn with a challenge by Daniel Cameron. The excuses were that people don't like Mitch so they voted against DC (very unlikely), or they liked Beshear on his handling of Covid (no way), but it's frustrating to watch this happen again. I don't think you can trust the turnout numbers or exit polls when there's fraud going on.

Bevin was kind of a jerk and not very popular, but I think Beshear was even less popular for trying to sue Bevin all the time. Wasn't this pardon AFTER the election? I still think Beshear won by cheating, but Bevin didn't seem to care and was glad to be out of office.

I have a compost pile of mostly leaves, tilled them in a couple years ago. One year I tilled in bags of rotted manure, but neither of those made much difference.

I started doing this about 12 years ago, but my vegetable garden has become less productive each year. I think part of the problem has been my failure to supplement the soil with manure or whatever good stuff, but also bad weather that varies from too wet to drought and back, and now there's too much shade over that area. I'm going to try to relocate it this year to where I currently have a patch of grass, not sure how much prepping of the soil I need to do.

I feel like Rand is a lotta talk and very little action, but I'll vote for him again to keep the Dimm out of the Senate. Maybe this will amount to something, but I'm skeptical.

Some of his details about EO 13848 are off (like 60 days vs. 45 days), but generally good. He's reading things into these EOs that I don't clearly see, such as that EO 13919 generally activated the national guard as opposed to just authorizing the SecDef to activate <= 200 for counter-narcotics operations for up to a year. I don't recall that Trump was at Joint Base Andrews around noon on Jan. 20, 2021 as he suggests, but I recall his 21-gun salute and speech and departure all happened by 0900.

I may be overly critical and had unrealistic expectations, but I thought this book presented a very Normie world view and I was not impressed by his enthusiasm for the vaccines. I suppose he couldn't reveal much more than mainstream conservative views and unclassified stuff, so in that sense it is a decent book.

My older daughter goes to VT, already got 2 jabs without telling me and is probably boosted because of their mandate for this semester. I'm glad to see this, but it seems too late to undo the damage to all the vaxed college students.

This is not done by injection, but given intravenously. I thought about that when I got an antibody treatment after getting Coof in October, but I took my chances. After I noticed the IV bag was labelled as saline, the nurse told me they injected the antibody stuff into the saline bag. I recovered quickly after the treatment and haven't noticed side effects, but there are no documented long-term side effects for these treatments.

Same here, but my deadline is 12/8. Luckily I can take early retirement by using the "rule of 55" for this 401(k), then draw from IRAs after 59.5.

There's a difference between federal employees and contractors. I also work for a contractor and the deadline is 12/8. I'm trying to figure out whether to file for exemption or take my chances on early retirement. This thing should be overturned completely without exceptions, so I don't want to beg to keep my job and sign up for weekly testing.

My younger daughter just got another negative test result (sample taken yesterday), so almost certainly didn't get it from her.

I'm pretty sure I just got a full-blown case of Coof from my vaxed neighbor. I've had symptoms of strep throat the past few days. Thus far nobody else in my family has been sick since then. Here's the back story:

  • My wife had the worst flu ever in December 2019, up wheezing and barely able to breathe in the middle of the night. She tested positive for flu A and recovered.
  • About a week later my older daughter got a 24-hour flu, then had almost a miraculous recovery after sleeping all day.
  • My younger daughter and I didn't get sick at all. After some time I concluded that we had been exposed to Covid-19, and we all had natural immunity thereafter.
  • Later my older college-age daughter gave in to peer pressure and got vaxed without telling me, while the other three of us have not been vaxed.
  • Last week my younger college freshman daughter got quarantined 2X by the university. The first time was from exposure to a vaxed classmate, so she stayed at the dorm and then she was cleared by a negative test on Wednesday. That same day her vaxed roommate tested positive, so she had to quarantine again and came home that afternoon.
  • Last Tuesday evening I helped my vaxed neighbor drop a vehicle at the airport, then rode back home with her for 30 minutes. She works for the state dept. of health testing people for Covid several days a week, and she has no symptoms now.
  • Last Wednesday evening I got a dull headache and body aches, then woke up with a 99.9 fever and sore throat the next day. Since then I've had a sore throat, headaches, and low-grade fever when not taking Ibuprofen or Tylenol.
  • I've been taking Vitamin B12/C/D, NAC, Zinc, and Quercetin regularly, just added horse paste after the second day of fever.
  • Finally yesterday I went to get a strep test and they also gave me a Covid test, and you guessed it--strep was negative, Covid positive. The doctor offered no treatment, just suggested to get Mucinex D and lie on my belly several times a day. She said she can't prescribe Ivermectin because it's not FDA approved, but she gave me the contact for an antibody trial going on in town.
  • I called and got into the antibody trial because of high blood pressure and being overweight (BMI 25), though I'm 6'1" and 190 pounds. Since the treatment yesterday my sore throat is gone and fever is down, but I still have a headache with light sensitivity.
  • My wife and both daughters were home with me over the weekend, still none of them has any of my symptoms. Unfortunately my wife has been quarantined for 20 days from her school job, because she is unvaxed. This leads to some questions:

1 - Is it more likely I got the Coof from my vaxed neighbor on unvaxed daughter or some unknown contact? I vote for the neighbor.

2 - If we had natural immunity, does this mean the vaxed neighbor passed me a new variant or viral shedding?

3 - Why have I not passed this on to my family members? Maybe it's too early to tell, but I would think they should have gotten sick by now.

Look at the shadows from the stage and the fake parade, very long like in late afternoon. Clearly it was not at noon on Wed, when it was mostly cloudy. Could have been Tuesday PM (Fair around 1600) or some day earlier.

Look at the weather (sunny) and the shadows (long like in late afternoon), it was not done on Wednesday at noon (DC was mostly cloudy and windy).
