I thought Biden was doing a decent job of selling “saving the guardrails of democracy,” but as you say, there was a major record scratch late in the speech. Telling people in advance the results will take a long time, when the polls look dire, will massively increase paranoia: https://t.co/rHXszrx9k6 pic.twitter.com/D7FMfZeGsd

With whom does Emily Oster want an amnesty? Moms, so they will return to the democratic fold
Emily is asking us to forgive a mistake. There was no mistake. There was a political calculation that harmed us, but even more, that harmed our children. The harm was considered acceptable because those who undertook it, took the votes of women for granted. They assumed they could lie and manipulate us into believing these harms were necessary, or barring that, unintentional. If we, as women, want our votes to be courted in the future by either party, we must vote to punish the past three years treachery.
@Veracious Poet: I agree with you about the extent to which the daily discussion around here seems to have gone downhill in quality in recent months. At least deflationista’s reliable shrieking, hectoring, and braying served to remind us why we resisted and opposed the Covidian Cult narrative!
WRT “People who resisted Covid jabs are superheroes” panegyric: I recall that when a video of a newscaster-type person reading this text on a Canadian broadcast was posted to JMG’s Covid thread last week, a few people immediately responded that they were very suspicious of such effusively mellifluous words. This was because it felt to them like some sort of attempt to manipulate in order to co-opt the unvaxxed for some sort of unsavory agenda. I am not so sure I would automatically think that, but that sounds like it should be kept in mind as a possibility, as flatterers more often than not do have one or another agenda.
Sure enough, I just read Kunstler’s latest post, and it’s yet another panegyric about how the good guys, whoever that might be, are going to mop up the floor with the bad guys after the upcoming elections. Give me a freakin’ break, already!
For a long time, Kunstler was all “those Deep-Staters will be in big trouble once John Durham does his thing”, and wouldn’t you know it, John Durham didn’t do any sort of thing. But you can bet that Kunstler will continue believing that someday some white knight will ride in on a white horse and right all the wrongs. What is it about Boomer men that makes them so predisposed to live in a world of such pure ego-fantasy?
WRT to Steve Ludlum from yesterday, he’s just one more example of how Covid, as Mr. House once put it, “separated the men from the boys”.
You are far from the only one in recognizing that the "experts" who pretend to have some sort of natural right to have the run of our society are in fact anything but.

Well, on Friday of last week, my young adult next-door neighbor in my apartment building apparently had a seizure that led to his death the following day at the hospital. Since I didn’t really know the guy, I do not know if he was fully vaxxed, but I do know that as of about six months ago, about 75% of adults in Wisconsin qualified as fully vaxxed. And I also know that prior to this year, I have never known of somebody in the apartment building I was living in suddenly having a fatal seizure. (Though in fairness, I should mention that a next-door neighbor of mine who smoked and drank the way most older working-class men do, died of cancer in his apartment a few years after I moved out of that building. This happened a few years prior to Covid.)
I also know of a high-school classmate of mine who died of a mysterious illness earlier this year from Facebook, and I know he was fully vaxxed because he was on Facebook making fun of people who didn’t want to get vaxxed because they were dubious about this medical treatment. I take no delight at all, by the way, in knowing of this. This man trusted the institutions of science and medicine, as prior to 2020, that was what reasonable, responsible people supposedly did, and it might have ended his life. I find that utterly sad-making and terrible. 🙁
Laurence Tribe, a constitutional law professor at Harvard University, noted that the civil component ‘involves things of particular significance to Trump and his family and his organisation, namely their ability to defraud the public, to defraud banks, to defraud insurance companies, and to continue to subsist through corruption. Without all of that corruption, the entire Trump empire is involved in something like meltdown.’
This is exactly why I always thought it was a mistake to put so much faith in DJT as some kind of deliverer from the “Swamp” of the Deep State and from the sorrows of declining empire: He has always been far too vulnerable to being taken out by the establishment on account of being the corrupt king of a fetid swamp of his own making! That said, I would still rather have DJT in Whitehouse, fully knowing what a terrible thing that is to say, than the current “Joe Biden” cabal.
My comment on JMG’s post this week:
I can’t help but laugh when I remember how in in my twenties I thought that we could just grow hemp plants to provide bio-fuels that would save us from our energy predicament. Of course, back then I knew nothing of net energy or the fact that the world’s arable land was already fully dedicated to the task of feeding the world’s huge present-day population. I was pretty typical though, as such blithe and callow ignorance is pretty common among people in the industrialized world who consider themselves enlightened and educated.
@John Day: I can’t help but imagine a scenario where the prosthetics are filled with a soapy gel, and the teacher accidentally slices them open by getting too close to a buzz-saw. “Oh, my gazongas, my massive gazongas”, they would cry as the soapy gel squirts all over the equipment, the students, and the desks! (Yeah, I probably watched too much “Monty Python” when I was a lad.)
So how about that photograph of the Canadian schoolteacher on Kunstler’s blog whom I will from hereon out refer to as “Mx. Gazongas”? Hopefully this is an indicator that the whole social justice thing has officially jumped the shark.

In response to what Gonzalo Lira said about declaring war, I really have to think that choosing a sinister deep-red background for Biden’s speech in Philadelphia was no accident.
Well, I guess this was entirely predictable. The Covidian Cult is blaming the growing vaccine body-count on some supposed mysterious form of Long Covid. :-/
Actress Charlbi Dean, 32, has died of a "sudden disease".
This is happening a lot lately. Mysterious rapid diseases are killing people on the spot.
I think we have to start talking seriously about this.

@John Day: Two things I found odd about that commenter, whoever it actually was: 1) They felt the need to relate to us their whole backstory during their initial appearance. I have never seen anybody here feel the need to do such a thing. 2) The way they seamlessly switched gears from “concerned commenter” to “braying, hectoring troll” and their apparent monomania after that when they didn’t get the reception here for which they apparently hoped. (After that gear-switch, I actually found their personality pretty consistent and wondered how it affected their relationship with their colleagues at their job, assuming that my supposition is correct and that was a real person who just so happened to have a huge chip on their shoulder about “anti-vaxxers”.)
I saw that the subject of the deflated one came up in yesterday’s discussion. One thing that I thought seriously militated against deflationista being some kind of Deep State pysop, was their apparent driving need to be the biggest self-defeating neurotic nuisance they could possibly be. That seemed very human to me, and not at all conducive to a government psyop.
Even if the 2020 election was stolen from Trump (I’m not 100% convinced, but I think the politicos currently in power are more than capable of such perfidy), I think that calling for reinstatement or a do-over of that election really made him come across as somebody who lacks “chill” and perspective. That’s not a good thing in somebody who would be the leader of a troubled and declining imperial hegemon.
Besides that, Trump really needs to wake the fuck up and realize that he needs to stop bragging about his role in facilitating the Covid vaccine catastrophe that is currently unfolding.

Fentanyl pours into this Country through ports & borders, but yet they somehow managed to stop pretty much all Ivermectin from entering. Amazing how worried they were about people getting a hold of a drug that “doesn’t work”

You can really tell that the air is leaking out of the real economy when you see the price of copper just keep going down, down, down the way it has been lately.
I had a hard time understanding all the economics detailed in this most recent post on the “Consciousness of Sheep” blog, but what I could understand sounds consistent with my understanding of what has been transpiring since the Great Financial Collapse of late 2008.
Well, the price of copper is continuing its gradual decline. As of writing this comment, it is at $3.38 a pound. If and when it gets down to three even, that will be the sure sign that the “sugar-buzz” created by pandemic-related emergency government spending is over and done with. If it keeps falling after that, then Katy bar the door.

Every time I read something about Hunter Biden in the media, I’m like, “How the blazes does somebody end up being like that???”
Well, it would appear that UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s likely imminent ouster is in the news. Despite all the specific reasons for this, I think that the real deeper reason is that people and officials in the UK clearly see that the man is a clown and not the serious leader that country needs right now. Besides, he is also clearly just as much a WEF-toady as Justin Trudeau, he’s not just as blatant about it. But Paul Joseph Watkins believes that the UK political establishment will replace Johnson with somebody even worse.
In other financial market news, “Dr. Copper”, so called for the ability of its price to diagnose the health of the real economy, has gone down in price about 25% in the past two-and-a-half months.

An interview with Naomi Wolf on the signs of our times:
[Sorry, apparently videos from the Odyssey platform don’t embed well here. I can’t even just post the link.]
The links to the von Greyerz article are actually a link to today’s Debt Rattle. I’m guessing that this is an error.
Since the Democratic Party won’t even fight for an increased minimum wage, let alone single-payer healthcare, I have a very, very difficult time thinking of them as “far left”. The most I will grant is “social-authoritarian-identitarians”, and even that is just to cover up the abandonment of the nation’s working-class folk.
Dr. Naomi Wolf offers some pretty serious food for thought to chew on in her analysis of the SCOTUS overturning of Roe v. Wade.
