You are too old school, we can tell by the way you type with two fingers and a thumb, And because your solutions to problems make too much sense.
That means you were likely born in the last millennium before the turn of the last 1/2 Century mark, and own a pick-up 👆 truck.

Given the remarkable homogeneity of the stuff in their carts, I suspect they are stealing for resale, not to eat because they’re starving.
Organized Retail Crime is a *huge* thing, and the policies the left have been pushing have made it easier and more profitable. Of course, the organizations conducting it tend to have other illegal activities, and some funnel the money overseas to such bastions of peace and civilization as Pakistan, Afghanistan, etc.

[AMGREATNESS] On Thursday, a photo went viral of a student admissions chart from the University of Maryland, which depicts a bizarre new racial category for non-White students titled "Students of Color, minus Asian," the Daily Caller reports. "Generic dumb" and "generically not dumb."
The photo, shared by investigative journalist and leading opponent of Critical Race Theory
...teaches that skin color is the most important characteristic of any person, which translates to separate but equal with a different bunch in charge. All whites are born racist and racism permeates every aspect of society, which should be dismantled and the remains turned over to the kind of dipshit who pushes this nonsense... Chris Rufo, depicts freshmen admission rates over the course of four years, from 2017 to 2021. At the bottom of the chart, newly-admitted freshmen are separated into two categories: "Students of Color, minus Asian," and "White or Asian students." Across all four years, the latter category notably made up roughly 80 percent of all admissions in every Fall semester.
"We’re at the point in the discourse when colleges have created the highly scientific and totally legitimate racial category of ’Students of Color, minus Asian,’" Rufo sarcastically remarked on Twitter.
In response to the controversy, the University of Maryland issued a statement in which it defended maintaining these two categories, saying that the chart was meant to depict the data of students that the university considers "underrepresented."

[The Ledger] The generation that fought World War II has largely disappeared. The remaining Korean War veterans are glimpsing the twilight.
The country’s soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines who came of age in the 1960s during Vietnam are mostly in their 70s and 80s. Not surprisingly, they constitute the largest group of surviving veterans, in numbers approaching six million.
For these veterans, especially those who experienced combat in Vietnam, the memories can be exceptionally vivid.
Most veterans of that era never went to Vietnam, and of those who did, the vast majority were not assigned combat roles. But for those so deployed, they experienced a largely directionless war that killed in excess of 58,000 of their countrymen and an estimated million or more Vietnamese.
[FoxBusiness] CMS instructs nursing homes to allow visits at all times for all residents
The government on Friday directed nursing homes to open their doors wide to visitors, easing many remaining pandemic restrictions while urging residents, families and facility staff to keep their guard up against outbreaks.
The new guidance from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services instructs nursing homes to allow visits at all times for all residents. Facilities will no longer be able to limit the frequency and length of visits, or require advance scheduling. Although large groups of visitors are discouraged, nursing homes won't be allowed to limit the number of loved ones and friends who can pay a call on residents.
Many states and communities are still grappling with COVID-19 surges driven by the aggressive delta variant, but the most recent government data show that cases among residents and staff have continued to decline after rising earlier in the summer and fall.
Nationally, vaccination rates average 86% for nursing home residents and 74% for staff, although that can vary dramatically from state to state and facility to facility. Many nursing homes are rushing to provide booster shots for their residents. Staffers were recently required by the government to get vaccinated.
This "gets us the closest to pre-pandemic visitation that we've ever been since the beginning of the pandemic," said Jodi Eyigor, director of nursing home quality and policy for LeadingAge, an industry group that represents nonprofit facilities.
The federal guidance draws a line on visits by people who have tested positive for COVID or meet the criteria for quarantine. Nursing homes should not allow COVID-positive visitors to enter.
But residents can still receive visits if their facility is in the midst of an outbreak investigation or if they themselves are under special precautions to prevent COVID transmission. In such cases, residents and visitors must wear masks and protective gear.
It was unclear Friday how the new federal guidance would work with local and state requirements that may be more restrictive.
People in long-term care facilities have borne a cruel toll from the pandemic. They represent about 1% of the U.S. population, but accounted for roughly in 3 in 10 deaths. The ravages of COVID were compounded by enforced isolation. Nursing homes went on lockdown in March of last year and residents were unable to see their loved ones in person until early this spring.

Total incoherence now... So grandma's NOT at risk, but school kids are?
Nb. the latter are forced to wear masks when playing sports or musical instruments in band or orchestra. Ever tried to run a 440 with a bag around your face or play the trumpet through a face diaper?
And little kids at zero risk are now forced to get vaccines that don't work, or that even pose 5x as much risk, in the case of young males and myocarditis risk, as they face from COVID if not vaxxed.
[Just The News] The newly installed head of the Oklahoma National Guard has ordered that troops under his command will not be forced to comply with the Pentagon's COVID-19 vaccine mandate for members of the armed forces.
"No Oklahoma Guardsman will be required to take the COVID-19 Vaccine," Army Brig. Gen. Thomas Mancino wrote in a Thursday memo. The memo was at odds with a Defense Department directive that the "total force" - including the National Guard - must be vaccinated against COVID-19.
Mancino noted in the memo that Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt is the organization's "lawful Commander in Chief" when not under federal orders, implying that Stitt - not Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin - has the final call on any vaccine mandate.
Mancino wrote in the memo that "no negative administrative or legal action will be taken" against guard members who do not get the vaccine.
Mancino was appointed on Wednesday as adjutant general of the Oklahoma National Guard, replacing former Adjutant General Michael Thompson.
Governor Kevin Stitt earlier this month asked Austin to suspend the vaccine mandate for members of the Oklahoma National Guard.
"It is irresponsible for the federal government to place mandatory vaccine obligations on Oklahoma national guardsmen which could potentially limit the number of individuals that I can call upon to assist the state during an emergency," Stitt wrote in a Nov. 1 letter to Austin.
"This mandate violates the personal freedoms of many Oklahomans, as it asks them to potentially sacrifice their personal beliefs in order to not lose their jobs," Stitt wrote. "All of our national guardsmen take this calling very seriously. These are patriotic citizens who are willing to put their lives on the line to protect others in our communities during times of greatest need."

...There's a few ways this could go, none of them good:
*They could Federalize the OKNG, and then - strictly by the book - it's game over. I personally feel this is the most likely scenario; given how into control this administration is, and it is the least likely to be overturned before implementation. Keep in mind also that OK went solidly for Trump in 2020 - there will be a lot of motivation to show those Okie hicks who's boss.
*DOD could shut off funding to the OKNG, but that opens up a whole can of worms across the rest of the country - you'll have Governors on both sides asking if they can lose their funding if they do anything the Feds disagree with. Remember - don't give Biden a power or privilege that you don't want a DeSantis or Trump to have. (NOTE: On the other hand, it's entirely possible that the Administration and DOD simply aren't bright enough to realize that.)
*The Administration can talk a good fight and try to make it look as if they're applying pressure, but instead quietly trying to get them to make some kind of concession. Again, I don't think they're smart enough to do this.
*DOD can effectively ignore it. Quite possible, but that will encourager les autres.

/\ Yes, "Federalize" the full-time position of the State Adjutant General. If Gen. Mancino then fails to comply with the Biden mandate, relieve him and bring in someone from Fort Sill who will.
To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the militia, and for governing such part of them as may be employed in the service of the United States, reserving to the states respectively, the appointment of the officers, and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress
Yeah, federalize them, then how do you control them? You quickly run into a 'consent of the governed' issue cause you can't court martial them all. One day a member of the Oklahoma National Guard, the next day a member of the state's militia not subject to federal authority.
#5
/\ Announce that DoD and the President of the United States have lost confidence in General Marcino's ability to lead.
Federalize ONLY the position of Adjutant General. Send down an OGA-Stasi minder "advisor" to the office to make sure things go as planned.
Each of the 11 Unified Commands (CENTCOM, SOUTHCOM, EUCOM, etc) have OGA 'liaison officers' who sit outside the CINC's office. The precedent has already been established.
The Biden administration is at WAR! State's Adjutant Generals are routinely replaced by Active Duty generals during wartime or in national emergency situations. See Joint Task Force Katrina and LTG Russel L. Honoré for details.

Depending on the state and their constitutions, the appointment belongs to the state, not the feds. The feds can federalize the troops but not his office. As for Katrina, that was coordination and cooperation not subordination of guards assets that were not federalized.

A US military completely purged of unvaccinated sailors, soldiers, airmen and marines is a military that will follow any unlawful order and that can be used against the very citizens it is supposed to protect. That is the purpose of the vaccination order and the earlier stand down to fight against "white supremacy". The DNC wants a military like the Nazi regime that will just "follow orders" so they can wield it as they wish with no concern for the law or the constitution. Such a military might even refuse to follow orders of a duly elected GOP president and turn on him if ordered to do so by a democrat.

[Regnum] The last surviving submarine of Project 633RV (Romeo) was towed to the underground museum complex in Balaklava.
The submarine S-49 was sent to the underground museum after repair and restoration work, the hull of the boat was updated and painted. As a permanent exhibit, the submarine will be placed in the dry dock of the museum complex. The dry dock is a reinforced concrete pool 100 meters long and over 8 thousand cubic meters in volume.
The S-49 submarine was laid down at the Krasnoye Sormovo plant in Gorky (Nizhny Novgorod) on March 29, 1952 and launched in July 1961. At the end of the 60s, the S-49 was reequipped for testing the anti-submarine systems "Waterfall" and "Wind" and until 1985 was involved in testing all missile-torpedoes in service with the Navy. In 2019, the submarine was withdrawn from the Black Sea Fleet.

"Freezing the balls off the brass monkey," a Navy phrase about cannon balls...
This piece of alleged history explains that in the olden days of sailing ships, cannon balls were stacked on the decks on brass plates called “monkeys.” The plates had indentions in them that held the balls on the bottoms of the stacks. Brass, however, expands and contracts with the temperature and if it got cold enough, the cannon balls could fall…giving real foundation to the phrase “cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey!”
According to the United States Navy Historical Center, this is a legend of the sea without historical justification. The center has researched this because of the questions it gets and says the term “brass monkey” and a vulgar reference to the effect of cold on the monkey’s extremities, appears to have originated in the book “Before the Mast” by C.A. Abbey. It was said that it was so cold that it would “freeze the tail off a brass monkey.” The Navy says there is no evidence that the phrase had anything to do with ships or ships with cannon balls.
Thus = FICTION !
But my dear monkey friend, do not go to Novosibirsk, today, November 14, at night light snow is expected from time to time, southwestern wind 4-9 m / s, air temperature -2 ... -4 ° C, ice on the roads in places.

Inflation's even worse than the officially-calculated figures indicate -- fu-king liars.
They're way underestimating the sharp increase in the cost of housing for renters and new homebuyers ("shelter inflation").
Here's ex-Wall Street economist David P. Goldman aka 'Spengler' in AsiaTimes yesterday:
"The US Consumer Inflation Report for October was horrible, showing a 12% annualized rate of price change. But it’s even worse than it looks. The shelter component of the index lags the more reliable private gauges of rent inflation. That means worse is to come.
"Three US companies publish national rent indexes – CoreLogic, Zillow and Apartmentlist.com – and their readings of year-on-year rent inflation range from 9% to 16%. But the US Bureau of Labor Statistics reports a year-on-year rise in the rents of just 3.4%. Shelter represents a third of household expenditures according to the Consumer Price Index...."
