GAMBLING: Losing money on races that don’t exist

​Life
The Horse Isn’t Real. People Are Betting on It Anyway.

  • In virtual sports betting, the house edge is insane, there’s even more stigma and the racing never stops.

by Kyle MacNeill  — June 13, 2023, 3:45am

*** begin quote ***

It’s 10AM in my local William Hill and the races are on at the picturesque Hilltop Gardens. Sugar Cube, 12-1, is doing the impossible: Having loitered at the back of the pack for most of the race, he’s advancing up the field as if he’s just snorted an entire bag of Silver Spoon. Leading horse Yes Ma Lady, ridden by Kieran Tyler, starts to slow, saddled by fatigue. No wonder, he’s been racing literally all day. Sugar Cube crystallises near the front; Council Gritter eats dust; Yoga Flame doggedly slips downward; the final stretch is in sight. It’s a photo finish – Sugar Cube takes it. It’s an instant classic.

*** end quote ***

Interesting read. At least it’s not betting on “anything that talks”.

BITCOIN: Blackrock entering Crypto means ₿ is going mainstream in the financial markets

Wednesday, June 21, 2023

https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/14cf6mo/why_is_blackrock_entering_crypto_a_huge_deal_that/

Subreddit Icon r/CryptoCurrency •Posted by u/Zein313 Tin | SHIB 11

Why is Blackrock entering Crypto, a HUGE deal that shouldn’t be disregarded.

*** begin quote ***

BlackRock, the world’s largest and strongest asset manager with over $8 trillion in assets under management, has officially entered the crypto market in 2023. They have filed for a Bitcoin Fund and are probably buying the dip big time right now.

*** and ***

TLDR: BlackRock’s entry into the crypto market is a game-changer for the industry. It’s a clear sign that digital assets are here to stay and are poised for mainstream adoption. With more institutional investment, professionalization, and regulation on the horizon, the crypto market is about to get a lot more exciting.

*** end quote ***

This is good and bad.  They are the huge elephant in the room capable of making and manipulating the market.

And since “regulatory capture” is the rule un the USA Gooferment, don’t expect any “fairness” or “justice”.

Just look at the manipulation of commodity money metals and be warned.

I’d treat the “Market Price” of ₿ as possibly over or under stated as it suits Blackrock’s needs.

DCA of small savings regularly is the only way we have to address that.

When the lid blows of fiat currencies, then expect ₿ to explode.  Remember that fellow who bought tow pizzas for some bitcoins?  Don’t be that fellow.

Sigh!

HEALTH: If vaccines don’t cause autism, then how do you explain … the Amish?

Tuesday, June 20, 2023

If vaccines don’t cause autism, then how do you explain all this evidence?

  • We see an odds ratio of 5 when comparing autism in vaxxed vs. unvaxxed in MULTIPLE studies. The before:after odds are even more extraordinary. How can we ignore all this evidence?

Steve Kirsch

*** begin quote ***

There are large cohorts with a no vaccination policy which have NO autism

1. The Amish: We couldn’t find an Amish child with autism who wasn’t vaccinated or adopted.

To me this is the most persuasive irrefutable evidence that something is wrong!

Where are the refutations?

Til then, I’m afraid for the children.

OBSERVATION: Has “feminism” robbed women of respect?

Monday, June 19, 2023

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2023/06/how_women_have_robbed_themselves_.html

How Women Have Robbed Themselves
By Deanna Chadwell

*** begin quote ***

Women in our society have traditionally been treated with a unique honor and respect. Were we always treated fairly? Not entirely — there was a time when we couldn’t vote. There was a time when women couldn’t own property. True. But since forever men have been showing us, even in small ways, that what we have to offer society is paramount. We can make babies and without babies, mankind cannot fulfill even the most basic mandate — multiply and fill the earth.

*** end quote ***

Certainly seems that in today’s “Only Fans” world, women have diminished themselves into mere “sex workers”, units of production, or shrill harpies.  #METOO has exposed some of the elite’s “sins” and horrible exploitation.  Epstein’s Clients have yet to named and shamed.  Injustices seem to be hard to prove or rectify.  Some cases are absurd on their face, but do nothing, when prosecuted, to make it harder for real victims to come forward and be believed.

A sad day for the USA when we fail to treat the “weaker sex” with the respect they deserve.

Argh!

POLITICAL: Despite his flaws, DJT45 will send a message to politicians and bureaucrats in the Deep State

Our Broken System Needs Disruption, And Trump Is The Disruptor
By Danny Lemieux

*** begin quote ***

“We make men without chests and expect from them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst.” —C.S. Lewis

When Donald J. Trump established himself in the president’s office in January 2017, one of the first things he did was hang a portrait of President Andrew Jackson in the Oval Office. That was a signal.

Andrew Jackson was an irascible war hero known for his blunt manner, explosive temper, and inclined to physical violence. He was elected President in 1828, his second attempt, as a reformer who promised to clean out the “deep state” corruption of his day.

*** end quote ***

While DJT45 has many many flaws, he is promising to “disrupt” the system!

Tucker Carlson: Trump Is The One Guy Who Could Be President Who Dissents From Washington’s War Agenda
Posted By Ian Schwartz On Date June 13, 2023

    Ep. 3 America’s principles are at stake pic.twitter.com/eJNSUVvvqY
      — Tucker Carlson (@TuckerCarlson) June 13, 2023

  • Tucker Carlson delivered a monologue on former President Donald Trump and the war agenda in Washington in his monologue on the third episode of ‘Tucker on Twitter.’

*** begin quote ***

Whatever else you say about him, Trump is the one guy with an actual shot of becoming president who dissents from Washington’s longstanding pointless war agenda. And for that, that one fact, they are trying to take Trump out before you can vote for him. And that should upset you more than anything that’s happened in American politics in your lifetime. Even if you don’t plan to vote for Donald Trump, even if you would die before voting for Donald Trump, which if your right, and a lot of people feel that way, even still the destruction of our democracy which is the right of voters to support any candidate they want — even candidates that don’t want war with Russia — the destruction of that should keep you up at night.

Yes, Donald Trump is a flawed man but his sins are minor compared to those of his persecutors. In this life, we don’t get to choose our martyrs. We can only choose our principles and America’s are at stake.

*** end quote ***

Yes, and because he objects to our warfare state, he must be destroyed.  What happened to the USA that was myob non-interventionist?

Conspiracy Theorry: Thus Unz interview casts doubt on the “historical record”

Friday, June 16, 2023

Why Everything You Know About World War II Is Wrong
Mike Whitney Interview with Ron Unz • June 12, 2023 

*** begin quote ***

Indeed, Flynn alleges that by late 1937, FDR had turned towards an aggressive foreign policy aimed at involving the country in a major foreign war, primarily because he believed that this was the only route out of his desperate economic and political box, a stratagem not unknown among national leaders throughout history. In his January 5, 1938 New Republic column, he alerted his disbelieving readers to the looming prospect of a large naval military build-up and warfare on the horizon after a top Roosevelt adviser had privately boasted to him that a large bout of “military Keynesianism” and a major war would cure the country’s seemingly insurmountable economic problems. At that time, war with Japan, possibly over Latin American interests, seemed the intended goal, but developing events in Europe soon persuaded FDR that fomenting a general war against Germany was the best course of action. Memoirs and other historical documents obtained by later researchers seem to generally support Flynn’s accusations by indicating that Roosevelt ordered his diplomats to exert enormous pressure upon both the British and Polish governments to avoid any negotiated settlement with Germany, thereby leading to the outbreak of World War II in 1939.

*** end quote ***

​Here’s a pretty damning indictment of the WW2 history we’ve been fed.  Makes me wonder if ANYTHING we’ve been told or read is true.I know my uncles were CONVINCED that FDR setup Pearl Harbor to end the Great Depression.   When I mentioned it in my grammar school history lesson, the good Brother, a WW2 vet, whose name I don’t remember, didn’t say I was wrong but that it was “one opinion”.  Guess that began my cynicism and skepticism.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: “Nirvana approach” whne comparing the Free Market ro Gooferment

Thursday, June 15, 2023

https://www.econlib.org/james-mackintoshs-misunderstanding-of-markets/

Harold Demsetz pointed out in a famous 1969 article that many economists use the “Nirvana approach.” They compare actual markets with ideal government programs run by all-knowing bureaucrats with benevolent motives rather than comparing actual markets with actual government.

# – # – # – # – # 

Let me know when someone finds any “government programs run by all-knowing bureaucrats with benevolent motives” because I’ve never seen any Gooferment program that works at all.

INSPIRATIONAL:An adult version of that “we;re twins” perception

Wednesday, June 14, 2023

Boy Becomes Friends With 12 Y.O. Foster Kid So The Family Adopts Him
Margo Butautaite  — BoredPanda staff

*** begin quote ***

In an ideal world, every child has nurturing parents that love and protect them and kiss them goodnight after checking for monsters under the bed. Unfortunately, the reality is more tragic. Many children get taken away from abusive parents and end up in foster care waiting for years for a new family. A boy from Tennessee was lucky to have found a family that loves him unconditionally AND ended up having his best friend as his brother. How cool is that?

*** end quote ***

I don’t often find “inspirational” material on Bored Panda; so this was special.

It made me think of all those memes where young children claim “twin-ship” by wearing the same clothes and ignore that they are of different “races”.  (It makes me thing that “race” really doesn’t exist except as a meme in the midst of adults!)

This story is an adult version of that perception.

I hope that all involved have all the blessings that Karma can grant them and some on all those who can’t see the beauty of the family’s action.

POLITICAL: Socialized medicine kills when everything becomes political

Monday, June 12, 2023

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/columnists/2023/05/30/crowdfunding-germany-bowel-cancer-nhs-failures/

At 34, Jon has incurable bowel cancer – all because the NHS turned into a Covid-only service

  • Jon Chapple’s diagnosis was delayed due to the pandemic; now his only hope is to crowdfund treatment in Germany

Allison Pearson  — 30 May 2023 • 6:32pm

*** begin quote ***

In the spring of 2020, Jon Chapple and a friend were debating lockdown. Jon was pretty vehement. He said he thought it was obvious that shutting down the country, and effectively making the NHS a Covid-only service, was a huge error. It would kill more people than it saved in the long run, Jon told his friend. What Jon didn’t know was that one of the people lockdown would condemn to death would be him.  

How could he possibly have known? Jon was 32, a music journalist turned PR who had recently married Nikki, his childhood sweetheart. They grew up two streets away from each other in Essex. The couple were incredibly happy, planning to move into a bigger place, start a family; life was sweet, apart from an annoying stomach complaint Jon had seen the GP about in January.

He’d been referred for a colonoscopy that was supposed to happen in March, but lockdown kiboshed that. The appointment was pushed back until August when a benign polyp was discovered in Jon’s bowel. The consultant said he didn’t have the right tool to take it out (he didn’t mention it was because the growth was so large) but he told Jon he’d get him back in to do it. “It was no big deal, I thought,” recalls Jon.

*** end quote ***

What a national disaster!  A simple colonoscopy could have save him a lot of suffering and maybe Gooferment cost him his life.

Where does this death get tabulated?

INSPIRATIONAL: 8th Grader Walks himself into a college scholarship

Sunday, June 11, 2023

After 8th Grader Walked to Graduation, an NFL Star and University Team Up to Give Him a Ride to College
By Andy Corbley – Jun 5, 2023 

*** begin quote ***

A Missouri middle schooler was so determined to make it to his graduation, he ended up walking 6 miles.

Losing out on an opportunity for a ride there, 8th-grader Xavier Jones asked his friend and brother to walk along with him, remembering something a mentor at Yeatman Middle School had told him.

“‘If I want it, I got to go get it,’” Jones told Fox News, remembering the advice. Together, the young men walked over 10,000 steps and two-and-a-half hours through St. Louis to arrive at the school.

*** and ***

“She said, ‘You got a full ride,’ and I said [to Xavier], ‘Do you know what that means,’ and he said, ‘They’re going to give me a ride to school?’” Seals said. “I was like, ‘No, you’re getting a ride to college. He said, ‘Wait a minute, I don’t have to pay for college. Then it started hitting him.”

*** and ***

Miami Dolphins NFL player Terron Armstead, who grew up in a similar part of town to Xavier, had bought his family a minivan, and an electric bike to ensure transportation options are no longer a problem.

*** end quote ***

An impressive young MAN! We hear a lot of bad things that “juvenile delinquents” do, but not enough stories like this one.

Very impressive actions by the college president and the NFL player.

I’m sure KARMA will reward them.

While Sbarro Bombing Mastermind Ahlam Tamimi Enjoys Jordan’s Protection, Her Victim Dies After 22 Years in Coma

  • Tamimi planned 2001 Jerusalem pizzeria bombing that killed 16 people, including 7 children and a pregnant woman. 

Posted by Vijeta Uniyal  —  Thursday, June 1, 2023 at 01:04pm

*** begin quote ***

While Ahlam Tamimi, the mastermind of the 2001 Jerusalem pizzeria bombing, enjoys legal protection in neighboring Jordan, her 16th victim — 53-year-old Chana Nachenberg — died in a Tel Aviv hospital after 22 years in a coma. New York-born Nachenberg was at the restaurant with her two-year-old daughter, who was also injured in the bombing.

Ahlam Tamimi, a Hamas terrorist of Jordanian nationality, received 16 consecutive life sentences from an Israeli court for orchestrating the suicide bombing. In 2011, She was released in exchange for an Israeli soldier held in Hamas captivity for five years.

According to Tamimi’s own admission, she chose the popular West Jerusalem restaurant because it was well-frequented by religious Jews. The suicide bomber, on Tamimi’s orders, blew himself up inside the Sbarro pizzeria. The blast initially killed 15 people, including seven children and a pregnant woman. More than 130 people were injured in the bombing.

*** end quote ***

Tme to dust off the Constitution and have Congress pass a “letter of marque” against this individual.  Not that “we”, the USA would kill her, but we would ignore it.  From out Justice POV, it just was “justice delayed”.

While I am personally against the death penalty, sometimes it’s warranted.

And PNG (Persona Non Grata) ALL the Jordanian diplomats. 

Argh!

Although privateering commissions and letters of marque were originally distinct legal concepts, such distinctions became purely technical by the 18th century.[19] Article I of the United States Constitution, for instance, states that “The Congress shall have Power To … grant Letters of marque and reprisal …”,[20] without separately addressing privateer commissions.

Flower That Grew Only in York Brought Back From Extinction After 30 Years—First Ever British De-Extinction

By Andy Corbley – May 30, 2023 

*** begin quote ***

English media is gushing over the news of the first “de-extinction event” that saw a yellow wildflower unique to northeast England brought back to life.

Extinct since 1991, the York groundsel managed to carry on thanks to a handful of seed that was shed from three potted specimens on a windowsill at the University of York.

Stored at the Millennium Seed Bank in the Kew Gardens, botanists at Natural England organized a resurrection for the York groundsel after they received word the seeds were reaching the end of their lifespan.

*** end quote ***

Like aborted children, about whom I wonder who was the one who was to cure cancer.  So to, an extinct species of flower could hold the unknown key to an unknown mystery.

Probably not, but who wants to bet against the possibility?

Not me.

VETERANS: We few, we happy few, we band of brothers — 1,000 KIAs

Tuesday, June 6, 2023

https://www.army.mil/d-day/

On June 6, 1944, more than 160,000 Allied troops landed along a 50-mile stretch of heavily-fortified French coastline, to fight Nazi Germany on the beaches of Normandy, France. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower called the operation a crusade in which, “we will accept nothing less than full victory.” More than 5,000 Ships and 13,000 aircraft supported the D-Day invasion, and by day’s end, the Allies gained a foot-hold in Continental Europe. The cost in lives on D-Day was high. More than 9,000 Allied Soldiers were killed or wounded, but their sacrifice allowed more than 100,000 Soldiers to begin the slow, hard slog across Europe, to defeat Adolf Hitler’s crack troops.

Brigadier General Theodore Roosevelt Jr.
Unit: 16th Infantry, 1st Infantry Division

Citation: For gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty on 6 June 1944, in France. After 2 verbal requests to accompany the leading assault elements in the Normandy invasion had been denied, Brig. Gen. Roosevelt’s written request for this mission was approved and he landed with the first wave of the forces assaulting the enemy-held beaches. He repeatedly led groups from the beach, over the seawall and established them inland. His valor, courage, and presence in the very front of the attack and his complete unconcern at being under heavy fire inspired the troops to heights of enthusiasm and self-sacrifice. Although the enemy had the beach under constant direct fire, Brig. Gen. Roosevelt moved from one locality to another, rallying men around him, directed and personally led them against the enemy. Under his seasoned, precise, calm, and unfaltering leadership, assault troops reduced beach strong points and rapidly moved inland with minimum casualties. He thus contributed substantially to the successful establishment of the beachhead in France.

  • In almost every American city and town, biological males, with enormous advantages in size and musculoskeletal mass, routinely win women’s sporting competitions.
  • Corporate America has joined this cultural revolution hysteria.
  • Los Angeles Dodgers reinvited the “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” to celebrate Pride night at Dodger Stadium.
  • Catholics and Christians had objected to the invitation  —  never dare extend its street-theater blasphemy to other religious groups such as Muslims or Hindus.
  • Anheuser-Busch has nearly destroyed its best-selling Bud Light brand
  • Disney has rebranded it films, amusement parks, and television offerings to reflect radical transgender, gay, and race advocacies.
  • A woke CNN has all but destroyed its once-global audience

*** and ***

All these implosions are not just shocking but surreal. Why are our government, corporations, and popular culture colluding in mass suicide—to the delight of our enemies like communist China?

*** end quote ***

How does the USA stop this “cultural revolution”?

Refuse to buy from “woke” companies.  Challenge the Left on their perversions.  AND, not be silent about the change.

Ultimately, the USA must dissolve like the USSR,

Culture can be change in small battles.

HEALTH: Amish autism is near zero

Saturday, June 3, 2023

https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/the-simplest-way-to-prove-vaccines?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=548354&post_id=123872628&isFreemail=true&utm_medium=email

The simplest way to prove vaccines cause autism

Count up the number of kids who exhibited autistic behavior right before their vaccine vs. right after their vaccine. Isn’t it amazing nobody has ever done that study??

The medical community has been lying to you about the cause of autism for over 35 years.

They said vaccines don’t cause autism. They cite 164 studies showing no link between vaccines and autism.

That’s bullshit.

Why it is harder than hell to find an unvaccinated child with autism. If the papers are right, the Amish should have exactly the same rate of autism as the rest of America. But they don’t. The rate of autism is near zero.

*** end quote ***

Seems like this factoid would be causing a lot of study.  The Amish are a build in control group!

@HennepinAtty @MaryMoriarty

couldn’t find a reason to hold the suspect Daquan Stephen Rogers, 29, in custody. He’s been released without charges despite another open case involving brawling charged by Metro Transit last month and a history of cases involving transit crimes and assaults. Of course, he was tossed plea deals in the assault cases dismissing the violent crime charges. Free to go on his merry way.

RANT: An unramed trio is robbed by four thugs with a gun

Chilling video shows Chicago dad robbed at gunpoint in front of home as wife, kids slept inside
By Yaron Steinbuch  —  June 1, 2023 8:09am

*** begin quote ***

A chilling video captured the moment a Chicago resident was robbed at gunpoint by a group of masked thugs in front of his home as his wife, kids and other relatives slept inside.

Victor Galena Sr. was on his way to work about 6 a.m. Friday in the Windy City’s Hermosa neighborhood when he and two companions were accosted by a group of robbers wearing black ski masks, CBS News Chicago reported.

“They started pointing a gun at my dad and [one of his companions] who was up here on those stairs,” the victim’s son Victor Galena Jr. told the news outlet.

The group had been counting the money that they planned to spend on construction tools that day when they were attacked by thugs.

*** and ***

“It’s the people that you look up to that you call right away when you need someone to defend you, and if they can’t defend you, then who are you going to call if you’re defenseless by yourself?” he added.

Police said the same group of brazen thieves later committed the same crime against at least 10 other people — part of a string of robberies in which they target residents leaving for or arriving at their jobs.

*** end quote ***

Sure glad that Chicago is “gun free”.

Wait until the vigilantes start to protect themselves.

This gang could be caught in a “honeypot”.  Early AM counting money with armed back up hidden away.

End of gang of robbers.

But then the liberal woke politicians and bureaucrats would be after their scalps.

Argh!

Hard to believe that “We, The Sheeple” have ALLOWED politicians and bureaucrats to disarm us.

“I particularly like unlimited concealed carry. If the criminal regards the general public as sheep to be shorn, then let’s sprinkle in a few “sheepdogs” with big teeth in the flock.

Guess which gay to bash? Buzz, wrong, you picked a Pink Pistol and you’re dead!

Guess which woman to bash? Buzz, wrong, you picked a Paxton Quigly and you’re dead!

Guess which brown person to bash? Buzz, wrong, you picked a Massad Ayoob and you’re dead!”

*** end quote ***

GUNS: Let’s sprinkle in a few “sheepdogs” with big teeth in the flock

I still believe this is THE solution to crime in “our” cities.

RANT: No bail for second offenders, parolees, felons, or “juveniles” — especially in elderly assault

Teen arrested in random beating of man, 71, as NYPD seeks additional suspect in elderly assault

By c  — May 25, 2023 11:06am

*** begin quote ***

A 14-year-old boy was busted this week for allegedly slugging an elderly man in an unprovoked attack in Midtown, cops said. 

The teen was nabbed at his home Wednesday and charged with assault in connection to the May 6 assault on a 71-year-old man on West 55th Street near Broadway, police said. 

The boy approached the septuagenarian from behind just after 9 p.m., punched him in the face and pushed him to the ground, authorities said. 

The pint-sized assailant took off, and the senior was taken to Mount Sinai West for medical treatment, cops said. 

Days after the attack, police released a photo of the suspect, standing with one clenched fist, in hopes of tracking him down.

Little coward needs to be treated as an “adult”.  Sorry but Heinlein had the correct take on “juvenile delinquents”.

“I told you that ‘juvenile delinquent’ is a contradiction in terms. ‘Delinquent’ means ‘failing in duty.’ But duty is an adult virtue—indeed a juvenile becomes an adult when, and only when, he acquires a knowledge of duty and embraces it as dearer than the self-love he was born with. There never was, there cannot be a ‘juvenile delinquent.’ But for every juvenile criminal there are always one or more adult delinquents—people of mature years who either do not know their duty, or who, knowing it, fail.” ― Robert A. Heinlein, Starship Troopers 

This 14 year old is a “criminal” and should be treated as such.
