President-elect Joe Biden said Tuesday that the pace of the Trump administration's vaccine rollout is unacceptable and that he will strategize to distribute 100 million inoculations within his first 100 days.
What's the plan, I wonder, for disposing of 100 million needles?

Proud Boys erupt at ‘Proud Girls’ co-founder: ‘Want to support us? Get married, have babies’
By Brad Reed December 30, 2020
https://www.rawstory.com/hot-off-the-wires/proud-boys-girls/
A former mixed martial arts fighter has decided to found a far-right gang called the "Proud Girls" -- and the far-right Proud Boys gang is not happy about it.
The Daily Beast reports that Tara LaRosa's effort to found her own "Proud Girls" chapter was met with scorn and derision on the Proud Boys' official Telegram channel earlier this month.
"Don't ride our coattails," wrote one upset Proud Boy of LaRosa's initiative. "Want to support us? Get married, have babies, and take care of your family."
A meme posted in the Oklahoma Proud Boys channel, meanwhile, made similarly sexist comments about LaRosa's fledgling group.
"This is a men's club," the meme said. "If you're not in a relationship with a Proud Boy, at worst, you're a groupie."
Another meme being passed around on Proud Boys channels bluntly states, "If you are a Proud Boy and you are involved in supporting Proud Girls you are fake and gay."
But LaRosa, who literally once made a living beating people up, fired back by declaring she was "tougher than 99% of you alleged men," whom she described as "little crybaby Pecker Boys."

Attorney Sidney Powell on Tuesday revealed that she believes officials in Georgia may have "rigged" the Senate runoff races in favor of Republicans as part of a plot to undermine her efforts to prove the 2020 election was stolen from President Donald Trump.
During an interview on The Rush Limbaugh Show, Powell was asked if Republicans should bother to vote in the Georgia runoffs.
"My concern is it's not going to matter how the people vote in the Georgia race," the attorney replied. "It obviously didn't matter how they voted nationwide, did it?"
She might (just might, mind you) be a bigger narcissist than Donald Trump.

"Coinciding with Election Day on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, DJTrumpLibrary.com was finally updated. The website includes 3D renderings of a proposed version of the 45th President's Presidential Library. Located at 1 MAGA Lane in Nogales, Arizona — abutting the US-Mexican border — the facilities would include a COVID Memorial, with a reflecting pool that looks out towards the Alt-Right Auditorium, which features weekly screenings of Birth of a Nation and other films. There's also a Criminal Records Room and Wall of Criminality, an interactive Tax Evasion 101 exhibit, and of course, a Twitter Gallery. During your visit, you can also indulge in Criminal Luxury at the adjacent Trump Hotel and indulge in the Freedom Fry Fountain at Drump's Diner (full menu available online)."

McMahon's testimony is not credible to me. He claims to identify 8 shots. This borders on ludicrous to me. With information unavailable at the the time 8 shots may possibly be accounted for ( shot evidence such as Tague etc).
Eddy,
I have always maintained that the best evidence for conspiracy comes from the number of shots that missed, not the number of shots that hit. If you have more than one shot that missed, that's prima facie evidence for conspiracy.

Steve, not that anything coming from Trump shocks us anymore, but did he really utter or tweet the line you quote above?
Joe,
He tweeted this out on 12/29/20 (replying to himself, of course)
Replying to"....Can you imagine if the Republicans stole a Presidential Election from the Democrats - All hell would break out. Republican leadership only wants the path of least resistance. Our leaders (not me, of course!) are pathetic. They only know how to lose! P.S. I got MANY Senators more votes than is needed by me to win Pennsylvania, not to mention hundreds of thousands of votes in other categories which increase my already big lead into a landslide. All other Swing States show likewise. WE NEED NEW & ENERGETIC REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP. This can not stand.."Steve Thomas -

Secret Service agent Elmer Moore's refusal to cooperate with the HSCA and the funny note at the bottom ("or boxing")
Vince,
In the list of Dallas Secret Service Agents that Dwyer and Greissing sent to Paul Wallach, they got Charles Kunkel's name wrong. It's Kunkel, not Kinhel.
They also got Robert Steuart's name wrong too. It's Steuart, not Stewart.

Lord of the Flies on Nantucket
“The influx alarmed portions of the island population, primarily older individuals who were anxious about catching the virus in a community with limited medical resources. Instead of unifying the community, however, some residents of Nantucket seemed to turn on one another.”
“But as the weather turned cooler, the number of cases slowly began to increase. Then, the Thanksgiving surge hit—the island was clocking dozens of new cases a day. That’s when the accusations started.”
“Against the backdrop, tensions about who was the blame for the Thanksgiving outbreak began to stir. The “rat line” as health officials called it—where people would call in to report others—focused in part on essential workers who “were out driving around in gardening trucks without masks on,” as one local resident who refused to be named, said. Another call was about a woman who had tested positive for the virus after her children came home from college and was in the grocery store without a mask.”

I do think that, without the Zapruder film, we wouldn't be here today. The film was really the thing that rejuvenated the pro-conspiracy movement. Otherwise I think it would have just faded away.
Allen,
I don't think so. I read a long time ago that JFK's assassination was the first assassination (successful or otherwise) that was done with a rifle. All the other attempts were up close and personal. JFK's was the first, as Larry suggested, that smacks of "something entirely different".

Intelligence and Vietnam (II): Return of The Top Secret 1969 State Department Study
"Archive director Thomas Blanton commented that "Lessons from the Vietnam experience with intelligence run directly counter to today's reform proposals for the U.S. intelligence community. Instead of a centralized 'czar,' this history suggests we need a multiplicity of competing agencies and analyses. Instead of policymakers who cherry-pick only the intelligence they want to hear, we need to encourage dissents and force closer examination of contrary findings. Instead of covering up with the cloak of secrecy, we need to open the insider critiques in real time and enrich the public debate.""
"It is an account of sometimes breathtaking, sometimes frustrating efforts to speak truth to power in a situation of primary importance to the United States, its leaders, and its people."
Sounds like we could have used that in the Iraq war and WMD's.
Don't let Trump anywhere near Iran.

Well, let us not jump to conclusions.
But I am definitely interested in this story.
https://www.rawstory.com/nashville-explosion-warning/
John Drake, the head of the Metro Nashville Police Department, confirmed on Friday that an RV that exploded in the downtown area had broadcast a warning.
Police "responded to a call for shots fired in the downtown area, specifically 2nd and Commerce [Street]," Drake said during a press conference.
After responding to the call, "officers encountered an RV that had a recording saying that a potential bomb would detonate within 15 minutes," Drake continued. "Officers upon hearing that, decided to evacuate the buildings nearby, so they began knocking on doors, making announcements, having emergency communications, communicating with everyone to get people safe. Shortly after that, the RV exploded."
A security camera on 2nd Avenue captured a female voice repeatedly saying "this area must be evacuated now" shortly before the explosion.
Security camera tape:

“If you can hear this message, evacuate now”
This is very weird. It seems more like a political statement than a terrorist act.

Donald Trump is destroying the lives of tens of millions of people with his Covid Relief shenanigans, denied service members their pay by vetoing the Defense Production Act, pardoned a bunch of crooks, and shut down the government denying government employees their pay.
He then skipped town and went to Florida to play golf.
He should be impeached this afternoon. He needs to be told to just stay down there in Florida and we'll pack up his belongings and ship them to him in a moving van.

Ted Cruz begs for donations to 'keep Georgia RED' — but the money is going into his Senate campaign coffers
by Matthew Chapman December 24, 2020
https://www.rawstory.com/ted-cruz-2020-election/
"Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is sending a new plea to his supporters with Georgia's two Senate runoffs weeks away, asking them to contribute money "to save our Senate majority and keep Georgia RED."
But according to Inside Elections reporter Jacob Rubashkin, there's a catch: the donation link Cruz is giving to his supporters is for Ted Cruz for Senate. Meaning that the money is going to his campaign, and not directed to the campaigns of Georgia Republican Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler."
Will the grift and the graft and the grotesque gross grunge never stop?
"Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?"

Trump's GOP defenders are getting exactly what they deserve now that he has turned on them: columnist
By Matthew Chapman December 24, 2020
https://www.rawstory.com/trump-gop-2649639035/
"On Thursday, writing for The Washington Post, columnist Greg Sargent argued that after years of defending Donald Trump, Republicans in Congress are getting everything they deserve now that Trump is betraying them and threatening to throw out their stimulus negotiations.
"House Republicans are in a fury with President Trump, now that he is threatening to blow up the carefully negotiated settlement that led to passage of the $900 billion economic rescue package. They are raging that he abandoned them after the White House asked them to support the deal," wrote Sargent. "Oh, dear. Given what a cartoonish farce this has all become, let's let Mr. Krabs of SpongeBob SquarePants do the honors: 'Boo, hoo. Let me play a sad song for you on the world's smallest violin.'"
"Let it not be forgotten that more than 125 of the very same House Republicans now raging at Trump for betrayal just got through betraying our country on his behalf, by joining a lawsuit designed to further his aim of subverting millions of votes in four states to keep him in power illegitimately," wrote Sargent.
In fact, he noted, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC), both of whom decried Trump's actions, were among those who joined the suit.
"Republicans ... delivered beyond what should have been Trump's wildest dreams. And this went well beyond their backing for Trump's effort to overturn the election," wrote Sargent. "During impeachment, House Republicans went to extraordinary, farcical lengths to function as dutiful propagandists and literal bodyguards against accountability for Trump. They worked to thwart transparency into Trump's finances, helping to shield his self-dealing from the public they purport to serve." And even in spite of this, Trump is throwing them under the bus in a way that "exposes" they are "the real obstacle to robust assistance to the American people."
"That, after all this, House Republicans feel abandoned and betrayed by Trump — well, it couldn't be happening to a bunch of nicer sycophants, enablers and betrayers of our democracy," concluded Sargent."

Exclusive: Donald Trump's Martial-Law Talk Has Military on Red Alert
By William M. Arkin On 12/24/20 at 5:00 AM EST
https://www.newsweek.com/exclusive-donald-trumps-martial-law-talk-has-military-red-alert-1557056
“"I've been associated with the military for over 40 years and I've never seen the discussions that are being had right now, the need for such discussions," says a retired flag officer, currently a defense contractor who has mentored and advised his service's senior leaders. He was granted anonymity in order to speak without fear of reprisal.“
“"You've got to recognize an illegal order when it comes your way," says another retired flag officer, saying he has been involved in unprecedented internal discussions going on right now about this subject. The officer, who declined to speak on the record, says that though lawful and unlawful orders are a part of officer training from the beginning, "the principles of loyalty to the Constitution hammered home from the start of every career, ... we've never had the real thing, never someone who occupied the White House who conducted themselves anything like President Trump."”

Ted Cruz Is Pocketing the Money He’s Raising for Georgia GOPers. He’s Not Alone.
ALL FOR ME
“The runoff is a gold mine for politicians. And now that they can run Facebook ads in Georgia, they’re rushing for it.”
By Lachlan Markay Dec. 30, 2020
https://www.thedailybeast.com/ted-cruz-is-pocketing-the-money-hes-raising-for-georgia-gopers-hes-not-alone?ref=home
“The Cruz campaign bought 15 separate ads on Facebook over the past two weeks, each featuring a video of the senator dramatically hyping the need to hold two U.S. Senate seats in Georgia runoff contests.
He asked for five dollar contributions to his new “Keep Georgia Red fund.” But Facebook users who clicked through to the online donation page—and read the fine print at the bottom—would see that the actual beneficiary was Cruz’s own campaign committee, not Sens. Kelly Loeffler or David Perdue, the two Republicans running for reelection in Georgia.”
“Cruz is just one of a number of elected officials of both parties using the competitive—and extremely expensive—Georgia runoff contests to raise money for themselves.”
And the grift goes on, grift goes on
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain...
