Woodchipper party in Hudson !!!

This is fantastic.

Except my ultimatum would be “commit sepukku or be woodchippered.”

It depends on what your definition of “rich” is

I guess someone just told the Congresswoman that she is in the top 3% of income percentile in the US and makes four times the median individual income in the country, and that when she gets her Congressional grift game on and she starts clearing $400,000 per year she’s going to be in the top 1%.

This is the No. 1 rule if “tax the rich Leftists,” the definition of “rich” is alway more than what you make.

My sincerest hope for California

I honestly and sincerely hope that Newsom is indignant that there was even a recall election and he turns California into Australia.

Worse than Australia.

I hope he unleashes the CA National Guard to liberally apply buttstrokes to the faces of people who are unmasked and goes all EO 9066 on the unvaccinated.

California decided to reelect him and I hope they suffer mightily for it.

Are there any yardarms around?

Gen. Mark Milley Held Secret Pentagon Meeting, Told Staff Not To Take Orders From President Donald Trump Regarding Nuclear Weapons

According to CNN, who reviewed the book, Milley ‘called a secret meeting in his Pentagon office on January 8 to review the process for military action, including launching nuclear weapons. […] Milley instructed them not to take orders from anyone unless he was involved.’

“No matter what you are told, you do the procedure. You do the process. And I’m part of that procedure,” Milley said, according to the book.

“Got it?” asked Milley.

“Yes, sir,” replied his senior staff.

Then there is this:

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff undermined the chain of command and put more effort into protecting China from a duly elected President than the safe withdrawal of US citizens and troops out of Afghanistan.

This is actual fucking treason and Milley is going to get a pass and a million dollar gig at a defense contractor.

The greatest threat to this country is the people who run the country.

Emergency Rooms are not McDonalds

 

David Loos brought his 74-year-old mother to Tennova Healthcare’s emergency room around 7 p.m. on Sept. 5, when he noticed her oxygen levels were low and worried she may have contracted COVID-19.

The pair didn’t leave the hospital until the next day. They waited for more than 15 hours in the hospital’s ER, with Loos’ mom, Phyllis, hooked up to an oxygen tank, before she was shown to a room.
….
“Rather if it’s ten minutes or ten hours, there’s going to be some level of frustration,” he said. “But I don’t think our healthcare system was designed for what it is seeing right now, and that’s understandable. Anyone who goes in needs to be understanding of the situation, and that this is unprecedented.

I am going to suggest that one of several reasons why ERs are suddenly “overwhelmed” is because people have not been taught that these places are for emergencies only and not for any and all medical calls.

We went from a culture that solved most minor incidents with a stern “walk it off” to one that pushes the panic button and beckons 911 if little Suzy gets a tummy ache because she downed nine Reese’s peanut butter cups and half a pound of blue Twizzlers. What used be cured with a couple of spoonfuls of cod liver oil, now “requires” several thousands dollars worth of wasted medical services and hours of personnel time.

When I worked hospitality, I saw calls to 911 for drunken puking, sunburns, rashes and even a obviously painful but not life threatening popped off toe nail.  Paramedics were all very professional and behaved like champions, but privately they commented on what a waste of time these calls were. Their constant fear was that a true emergency call would come out and they were stuck with Little Pedro who got a splinter in his thumb from his cheap skateboard while mom was screaming and demanding for a Life Flight chopper.

We need to rescue some old lost skills. hell, we may need to train the new generation on how to properly apply a band-aid and to teach them not all meds come in gummy bear form for “nicer” intake.
