Texas v. Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin

 It is here.  It seems pretty devastating.  If the Court does not hear this, we will certainly find out which justices have embarrassing pictures in the Epstein archive.

It Sounds Like Biden is Serious About Unifying Americans, But Not How He Thinks

 12/9/20 Washington Examiner:

Joe Biden plans to move quickly against guns, adding the issue to his list of first executive orders, according to his top policy aide.

Stef Feldman, the national policy director of Biden's presidential campaign, included the Democrat’s gun plan in a list of initial executive actions set to be unleashed after Inauguration Day....

While he calls his plan one aimed at ending “gun violence,” most of Biden’s ideas amount to limiting what people can buy or have. For example, he wants to end the sale of AR-15-style firearms (the most popular in the nation), regulate those that people already have, and limit the size of magazines those guns use.

Almost half the voters already think Beijing Biden cheated and now he wants to end sales and limit magazine size?  President Biden, you and what army?  There are at least 20 million AK and AR pattern rifles in America, and vast numbers of Americans with handguns that came with 17 round magazines.  Any attempts at confiscation will result in at least .1% of those 20 million surrendering their guns one bullet at a time.  All of us know at least one fellow gun owner who is going to go over the top on this.  Most will likely die under the combined force of a federal LEO SWAT team, but if even 10% of that .1% of 20 million end up killing a federal LEO, 20,000 LEOs will not go home, and many of the others will start to think HARD about the legality of their orders and whether their pensions are worth leaving widows and orphans.  

In response to a few well-publicized raids, federal buildings will become free fire zones.  Five riflemen (all working independently) with .308 and bigger will easily shut down a federal building from 500 meters away.  I suspect any federal employees not already Zooming to work will stop showing up to work.  I can hardly wait for Biden to explain why Trump sending federal LEOs into Portland was tyranny, but calling out the Army is not.

Friends of a Friend Have Already Received COVID-19 Vaccine As Part of Trials

 Both reported headaches and muscle aches for a day or two but nothing that could not be managed with Tylenol.  The sooner most people are vaccinated, the sooner the Demofascists will just expose themselves as the authoritarian thugs they are, and the sooner we can get the economy back to work.  I have reservations for a European cruise next spring.  Let's not stop that from happening.

Glad to See This Tracking Device in Vaccine Crazy is Not Just America

 5/29/20 BBC:

First up, a conspiracy theory about vaccines that has spanned the globe.

It claims that the coronavirus pandemic is a cover for a plan to implant trackable microchips and that the Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates is behind it....

The head of the Russian Communist party this week said that so-called "globalists" supported "a covert mass chip implantation which they may in time resort to under the pretext of a mandatory vaccination against coronavirus".

He didn't mention Mr Gates by name but in the US, Roger Stone, a former adviser to Donald Trump, said Bill Gates and others were using the virus for "microchipping people so we can tell 'whether you've been tested'."

A new YouGov poll of 1,640 people suggests that 28% of Americans believe that Bill Gates wants to use vaccines to implant microchips in people - with the figure rising to 44% among Republicans.

Rumours took hold in March when Mr Gates said in an interview that eventually "we will have some digital certificates" which would be used to show who'd recovered, been tested and ultimately who received a vaccine. He made no mention of microchips.

That response led to one widely shared article, under the headline: "Bill Gates will use microchip implants to fight coronavirus".

The article makes reference to a study, funded by The Gates Foundation, into a technology that could store someone's vaccine records in a special ink administered at the same time as an injection.

However, the technology is not a microchip and is more like an invisible tattoo. It has not been rolled out yet, would not allow people to be tracked and personal information would not be entered into a database, says Ana Jaklenec, a scientist involved in the study....

Conspiracy theories about Bill Gates have reached the Italian Parliament, where an independent MP called for Bill Gates to be referred to the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity.

5/27/20 Slate:

If you’re worried about location tracking, look no further than your cellphone. Phones are bona fide tracking devices; people use their GPS functions all the time to find their friends or map their routes. There are serious, worrisome privacy violations that can come from companies collecting and sharing your GPS data, yet we willingly give up that information daily. As Slate’s politics editor Tom Scocca puts it: “Bill Gates doesn’t have to implant a tracker in you because Steve Jobs got you to buy one yourself.”

 

 

Texas Does Everything Big

I have not read the complaint,  but Texas is suing the battleground fraud states for diluting Texas' electoral votes by failing to follow their own procedures.   I can immediately see use of the one man, one vote use of the equal protection clause to argue that the unlawful votes have diminished the lawful votes of Texans.  Because the Supreme Court has original jurisdiction on any suits between states, there is no need to appeal up the chain.  I just hope the 6 conservatives on the Court have enough courage.

Malwarebytes

I have used the free version for some time to find and remove malware.  It is a little awkward to remember to run it periodically.  Because my wife's is especially prone to this (why, oh why does anyone put malware in song lyrics webpages) I thought I would buy the Premium version that intercepts stuff as it comes in.  My PC started to hang.   Even Ctl Alt Del did nothing.   I found that if I caught it just after it started,  and removed Malwarebytes before it had a chance to start some ugly process in background, it worked again.  So i installed the free version which had the same version number.  I should have noticed that.   Same behavior.   When searching for information on this,  I found others having the same problem.   I think that I have two days later,  restored my system.  Windows System Restore is slow but it is way better than reinstalling.  Make sure you create system restore points when everything is working.

Annoying Driver Problem

My wife's laptop has suffered intermittent WiFi disconnects ever since we moved.  She hates to "bother me" with problems until she gets RIP roaring mad.  While trying to figure out the problem, I noticed the Broadcom AC drivers were out of date.  Since we use ac band with the new router,  I think I found it.  To be sure I wrote a batch file that pings google.com, verifies that the ERRORLEVEL is 0 and loops.  If ERRORLEVEL is >0 (meaning the WiFi is now disconnected) it stops with a Fail message.  I will run it all night.

The intermittent disconnect is gone and the highest data rate is now reporting 60MB/sec. instead of the promised 50.
