Ribbons to Honor the Fallen
If you are unable to fly your flag at half-staff, the accepted solution is to tie a long black ribbon to the top of the flagpole allowing it to drape over the American flag.

Missing Korean War vet with dementia found more than 200 miles from home after wife spots 91-year-old on TV

A missing 91-year-old Korean War vet with dementia was found more than 200 miles away from his Wyoming home — when his worried wife spotted him on an evening newscast two days after he wandered off.
Avril Black’s concern was mounting after her spouse Michael Black vanished after he left their Afton home on Nov. 25, leading her to report him missing the next morning, according to a local report.
While authorities reportedly gathered he had hitchhiked his way to Ovid, Idaho, and then traveled down to Garden City, Utah, he was in the wind from there.
*** end quote ***
I’m glad this hero was not found dead somewhere. As a society, we need better systems to find individuals who “wander away”.
Air Tags? Angel Sense devices? Medical Alert bracelets? Even Tattoos?
I would believe that local police should be the first point of contact. Amber alerts for the local area could be issued. Shelters, churches, and vet organizations could be involved.
(When I get a NIXIE alert, I pay attention to it. Never “found” anyone, but I look when out and about.)
Hopefully, we’ll get better at caring for members of the human race, who through no fault of their own, need help.

For instance, I know a guy who worked at a record store (remember those?) who used to feel oddly guilty about his job, because he couldn’t shake the idea that the store was somehow taking advantage of consumers.
Then he read Murray Rothbard’s discussion of “demonstrated preference” — which means that both parties to a voluntary transaction are made better off (ex ante), or the transaction would not have occurred.
*** end quote ***
This insight is one reason for a completely voluntary society. If everyone is free, then no one can be “exploited”.

UnitedHealthcare CEO Killed
Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, the insurance division of UnitedHealth Group, was shot and killed yesterday in what police called a targeted attack in Manhattan.
The company was holding its annual investor day at the Hilton Hotel. A search for the suspect is underway. The 50-year-old Thompson was arriving around 6:45 am ET when the suspect, wearing a ski mask and a dark hooded sweatshirt, fired three shots at his back and leg using a handgun before escaping on an e-bike. Police say the suspect was lying in wait for several minutes before the killing. Authorities have not publicly identified a motive as of this writing, but they say Thompson had recently faced several threats.
UnitedHealthcare is the largest private health insurance provider in the US, serving roughly 50 million customers. Thompson had worked at the company for more than 20 years, becoming CEO of UnitedHealthcare in April 2021.

Missing hiker found alive after 50 days in Canadian wilderness where temperatures dropped below 0: ‘Unbelievable’
By Alex Oliveira
Published Nov. 28, 2024, 7:57 p.m. ET
*** begin quote ***
A young hiker lost in the volatile Canadian wilderness for more than a month was found alive Tuesday after weeks of desperate searching, according to reports.
Sam Benastick, 20, was found hobbling down a service road in British Columbia’s Redfern-Keily Provincial Park, where he had been reported missing after failing to return home from a 10-day hiking trip on October 17, according to CBC News.
*** end quote ***
Is that a record of some type?
No details of what he did right and wrong. Clearly, he was either very lucky or had some great skills.
I’d like to know what he was carrying and doing while “lost”. And, of course, who pays for the search and rescue?

Pardon means Fifth Amendment trouble for Hunter Biden
By Kaelan Deese
December 2, 2024 12:37 pm
*** begin quote ***
In the hours since the pardon, Republicans, along with legal experts, have elevated the significance of what the younger Biden’s pardon means for their long-standing investigations, contending that it opens up the playing field for lawmakers to question him on nearly everything he has now been pardoned from over the past 11 years.
Under the Fifth Amendment, people can refuse to answer questions if their responses might incriminate them in criminal cases. However, with all criminal liability now erased by the pardon, Hunter Biden could face contempt charges if he refuses to testify before congressional panels.
“Well, this now makes it much easier for a GOP Senate/House to call Hunter as a witness about his and his dad’s connections to Ukraine, etc. because the pardon prevents Hunter from asserting the Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate himself,” Mark Smith, a constitutional attorney and host of the Four Boxes Diner legal analysis show, wrote on X.
*** end quote ***
If I was at all connected to Hunter Biden, then I’d be worried.
See he has a BIG Get Out Of Jail Free card. Unless you have one, you’re screwed. He’ll have to testify against you.
(Don’t know what happens if he refuses?)
So, like when the authorities go after any organized crime, they flip the bottom run to testify against the next rung up. Until they reach the top.
I’ve often thought that in the cases of election fraud, get the underlings, arrest them, and threaten them with prison and watch how fast they will turn states evidence against their boss. Or bosses.
It should be very entertaining to see whose hands are “dirty”.

Frisco Navy Lab’smHuman Radiation Experiments
San Francisco Public Press & The Guardian
Chris Roberts, San Francisco Public Press
Mon 25 Nov 2024 14.00 EST
*** begin quote ***
Between 1946 and 1963, this article reports, lab scientists knowingly exposed at least 1,073 servicemen, dockworkers, lab employees and others to potentially harmful radiation through war games, decontamination tests and medical studies at the U.S. Naval Radiological Defense Laboratory at San Francisco’s Hunters Point naval shipyard. A review by the San Francisco Public Press of thousands of pages of government and academic records as well as interviews with affected servicemen reveal:
… [T]he lab conducted at least 24 experiments that exposed humans to radiation, far more than past official reviews acknowledged. Safety reports also note dozens of accidents in which staff received doses in excess of federal health limits in effect at the time. Researchers at the lab tracked the exposure of workers trying to clean ships irradiated by an atomic bomb test. Soldiers were ordered to crawl through fields of radioactive sand and soil. In clinical studies, radioactive substances were applied to forearms and hands, injected or administered by mouth. Top US civilian and military officials pre-approved all of this in writing, documents show. The records indicate that researchers gained limited knowledge from this program, and that not everyone involved had their exposure monitored. There is also no sign the lab studied the long-term health effects on people used in the experiments or in surrounding communities, either during the lab’s heyday or after it closed in 1969.
This article reports that the Navy’s San Francisco lab was “a major cold war research facility with a unique focus on ‘radiological defense,’ techniques developed to help the public survive and armed forces fight back in case of an atomic attack. It was one node in a nationwide network that encompassed universities, hospitals and national labs that had permission to handle dangerous radioactive material.”
*** end quote ***
No study of the “long-term health effects on people used in the experiments or in surrounding communities, either during the lab’s heyday or after it closed in 1969.”
Well, let’s go back and studied it NOW!
This is “Yet Another Example” of how the Gooferment politicians and bureaucrats treat Veterans and the general population. Like lab rats. Not even given any human dignity. Let alone “informed consent”.
It’s not too late to rectify this grave error.
Maybe if the guilty get punishment, the it could deter future bad behavior?

What Makes Hospitals So Deadly and How Can We Fix It?
November’s Open Thread
A Midwestern Doctor
Nov 24, 2024
*** begin quote ***
In this month’s open thread, I’ll share my thoughts on a question many have asked me since Trump and RFK Jr. won the election and an actual window has been created to change healthcare policies in America—what could be done to increase the survival rates in our hospitals and how can you protect a loved one that’s hospitalized?
*** and ***
Overall, the remarkable illustration of this corruption was the fact that families eventually began suing hospitals to allow the use of ivermectin for a relative who was expected to die even after being subjected to Fauci’s hospital COVID protocols. Remarkably, because there was so much money on the line, the hospitals chose to fight these lawsuits in court rather than just give ivermectin to the patients. In turn, of the 80 lawsuits filed by lawyer Ralph Lorigo, in 40 the judge sided with the family, and in 40 with the hospital, and of those, in the 40 where patients received ivermectin, 38 survived, whereas of the 40 who did not, 2 survived—in essence making suing a hospital arguably the most effective medical intervention in history. Yet, rather than take this data into consideration, the profit-focused hospitals banded together to develop an effective apparatus to dismiss further lawsuits.
*** and ***
Sadly, while this is quite depressing, it’s simply illustrative of a few more toxic trends that have taken over medicine.
*** end quote ***
So maybe “doctors” have to wear sponsors’ logos on their white coats like race car drivers. Ditto for politicians and bureaucrats!
Personally when my sainted wife was in the hospital, I “babysat” like a mother hen documenting everything. And I mean EVERY THING. Like who came in and what if anything was, or was not done. Meds were logged and when I found a mistake I raised holy hell.
One time, I even called the local fire department when she was put in an overcrowd ward with fellow who was on oxygen and smoking. (It was fun when the firetrucks showed up and the Fire Marshall was literally yelling at everyone in “management”. He shut the ER down for 12 hours while they brought everything up to code.)
I’m not a fan of “medical care” and especially when there is an obvious financial conflict of interest.
If you have a loved one sent to the hospital, then I urge you to monitor their care 24 by 7 by 365,
