I follow this substack for actuarial info. She wrote about auto deaths about a year ago. There is definitely something there:

I picked out 4 different points this time — two local high points for 2018 and 2019, both of which were in September. In general, in most years, the high point for motor vehicle accident deaths is sometime in the 3-month period of August - October. September is a very common month, though, due to Labor Day.

Then there is the local low point of April 2020, when many people were locked down, and not driving anywhere.

Then I picked out January 2022 — it was a low point for 2022, and January tends to be a low point for most years.

But I picked it out specifically so you could compare it against the rates in 2018 and 2019. That low in 2022 is only a few percentage points below the high from the pre-pandemic rates.

If you were wondering why your auto insurance rates had gotten so high… well, other things are involved as well. Inflation of various sorts, non-fatal accidents, and theft — these add to insurance costs, too.

But death is a pretty serious business as well.

Coffee snort at the bit about Elon.

If you go to the full interview, about 20 minutes in, he gets a question of who is the most challenging interview and why. He starts off talking about people who have been drunk, froze on camera, etc. Then he mentions in a joking tone that he has interviewed all kinds of politicians - some where you get a feeling of darkness off them 'like I don't know what you are into, I don't want to know, but I am pretty sure drinking human blood is part of it. Brrrrr!'' Oh Tucker...

PBD had Dr. Steven Greer on his podcast last week. Tucker came up in their conversation, and it was Greer's opinion that Tucker has been gaslit. So who knows?

TC was mesmerized by this man. To play on an old tag line, when Tucker doesn't talk, you need to listen! 😉

I remember when the Giants stadium opened. There is a statue of him on front of it and at the unveiling, they announced the address as 24 Willie Mays Plaza. He was so surprised and humble.

If you follow Midwestern Doctor on Substack, his opinion was that J&J was thrown under the bus to give cover to the agencies (Look! We are doing our job to keep tou safe!), when the real goal is to bring mRNA to the market en masse. Not that J&J was "safe", but it served a convenient purpose.

I saw an older piece where Pfizer was earning $1000 a second at the height of all the nonsense. The same article went on to complain how obscene it was that Africa was so under-vaxxed given what they were making. I agree what they were making was obscene, but strongly disagree with the follow up

Prayers for you and your church community.

If they are a team, when did it happen? At the funeral, the Bidens seemed genuinely surprised at the letter.

🙏 for you and a safe journey for your family.

I never got one because I couldn't think of something I wanted to live with the rest of my life. Then my niece said she wanted one, so when she turned 18, I took her and got one as well. She got this tiny little thing on her lower back. I wanted to somehow tie her into it, and it came to me completely in an instant. I have a music background, and she and her brothers all have names that begin with notes on the scale. So I have three notes, one for each. I actually like it and people ask me about it a lot. Mainly, what is the song.

That is a very good point. And one that has been in the back of my mind as my nephews and niece are of draft age. (As if forcing CV shots on their generation wasn't enough.)

It is unfortunate, but I think a mass wiping out of wealth is what it is going to take.

I had not heard of this. There is a reddit thread that I found where a guy is breaking down the conference calls they are having with the customers, etc. It is really messed up.

(Now consider the fact that Silicon Valley Bank depositors - of which IIRC, was about 35,000, were made whole within, what a week? And old Gavin was on the phone with the US Treasury "fighting for business" and the fact he banked there was just a minor coincidence. )

Aaron Rodgers on Tucker that said a lot of the players had fake vax cards? I think the rate was fairly high amongst the black players as they were not interested in being the next Tuskegee airmen.

The weather app on my phone has a alert thing that shows SEVERE WEATHER ALERTS. Which is fine if a hurricane is en route but not every fucking day! Drives me up the wall. All I want to know is if I need a jacket. 10-30mph winds are NOT severe. And when they can't obviously fake it, they plug in the weather that is like seven time zones from me. Just in case I will be dropping by Tokyo this afternoon on a whim.

I was listening to the podcast with Tucker and Thomas Massie and they were talking about AIPAC and how everyone in Congress has "an AIPAC guy". Apparently he didn't make friends off the bat with them though because they wanted him to author a white paper. He responded that he wasn't going to write a term paper, and when they asked why not, his response was along the lines of "I hated doing it in college, I am not going to do it now." The fact they offered him a template was mildly amusing. Anyway, he got on the shit list early and said that other reps would try to help by saying "let me talk to my AIPAC guy". He pointed out the absurdity of it. "I don't have a Russia guy, or a Brit guy." (Some might argue that nuance, but you get the general idea.)

'Who is hiding in the bushes' also makes me think of the Obama portrait.

PBD had Tom Fitton from Judicial Watch on his podcast Friday, and they talked a lot about this. What was going to be the next step, and violence was on the menu. Tom Fitton flat out said they want DJT dead.

Well that's a bugger.

Sorry to hear about your friend and BIL. Sending up 🙏

A side note: You mention hating to be proved wrong about Rino Inc. I hear you. I have been thinking in part that this is something we need to go through first on our "side" for lack of a better term in order to get out of the L/R. R/D paradigm that we are egged on to continue. Yes, we have differences, but that isn't the real enemy. And you are starting to see it in people who have a platform. (Tucker is an example in that he has been very vocal about his stance on the Iraq war.)

It sucks to eat humble pie, but if we are strong enough to take the first bite, I think we become an example for others. "That which does not kill us makes us strong," IMHO.

It was never a vaccine. It was gene therapy, and they changed the definition of vaccine because they knew damn well no one would go with gene therapy.

I forgot about that. My company was going to do that but I left that company at the end of November and the surcharge would have started in January. I would ask for the money back via a bonus (double bonus to cover the taxes.) You can gently point out it is better than being sued.

My family also owns a small business. My dad used to make trips to the bank everyday for cash. Now it is 1-2x/week.

I have noticed an uptick in small business giving 3-4% discounts for cash because of the card fees charged to the business. The money that the major credit card companies make is insane. It literally borders on loan sharing rates.
