I’m writing this way early because I’ll be out of town doing various fun, family and feasting things over Thanksgiving so all of the predictions that come true are extra-impressive. My first prediction is that I’ll be at the airport when this gets published which is a pretty risky prediction as anyone who has attempted to fly into Albany in the winter can attest to.
Lots of bad news in the skies this week, but much of it is annoyingly unspecific. Saturn-Venus-Luna can mean the end of a relationship, a decrease in passion in a current relationship, Lesbian Bed Death, menopause, or a relationship getting out of a sexual rut that it’s been in. Mars aligning with Mercury and the Earth can mean a soldier returning home, a soldier being called up from hoe to go to war, or your neighbors have a domestic disturbance that causes you problems. Sagittarius continues its karmic benevolence from last week, though less so, and for those born under this sign, this week will be a bit less than optimal (though still very good). Capricorn will be lucky in love purely by accident. The moon in Aquarius brings an enhancement to water in all of its forms.
I somehow made it out of town without my deck, and also have to write this up on a phone. While a lesser man would use that as an excuse to not provide you with that personal advice that you’ve come to depend on, I won’t let you down. I don’t have any suitable scapulae available, and my hosts wouldn’t appreciate the ritual evisceration that a good haruspex requires. Plus I’d need to do it twelve times, and that would cut into my holiday budget. There are many systems of divination based on the casting of tonnes, probably the most famous of which is the I Ching. I’m not going to cast that one either. Instead, I’m going to use a stripped-down version of the Celtic oracular casting sticks, or more specifically: coins. The prescient precision is imperfect with this, but the results should be just as reliable as any major technique.
Sagittarius: good luck
Capricorn: bad luck
Aquarius: good luck
Pisces: good luck
Aries: bad luck
Taurus: bad luck
Gemini: bad luck
Cancer: bad luck

Euphemism?
I leave that to the reader
Well, I echo that sentiment, but that fucker was right. Both of my windshield wipers shredded apart when I ran out this morning. ?
Whatever it was you said, NA, I agree.

Commie tweet of the day?
https://twitter.com/redpropagandist/status/1201120736179417088
All hail Mao and Stalin. The true saviors of the human race.
Should they really still use the slogan “Workers of the world unite”? I mean now that Marxism is the faith of the un and under employed white upper class left it seems kind of odd.
Better in the replies to tis thead
80 years after the Winter War, the Tankies are still mad at Finland, for not letting Stalin annex them.

Seriously look at the replies
What a bunch of fucking morons in that thread.
Doomed to repeat history
This. And every time they cant figure out how they got there.
Communism unites the intergenerational gap
Huh. A Commie got something right. People of all ages are united in death in the Gulag.
Nothing unites disparate people quite like a mass grave.
Lots of bad news in the skies this week
Like a snowstorm that is supposed to hit southern NH later today.
The prescient precision is imperfect with this, but the results should be just as reliable as any major technique.
Leo: good luck
So what you’re saying is, this will be a shitty week?
We got a ton of freezing ran. Trees look cool though.
I thought it was just spelled “ho.”
Nah, he’s a farmer.
Plowshares to swords.
Yes! I’m going to cash out my 401k and invest it in scratch-offs!
Now you understand investing. Ignore all the advice from the TV guys, they are skimmers. Go right to the lottery, where the state has your back.
Bad luck.
Well, whatever. Go Steelers!
Isn’t Biden’s No Malarkey tour a pale rewrite of McCain’s Straight Talk Express?
These dudes are so out of touch.
THEY’LL BE NO MALARKEY! LOL.
STEELERS???
You are DEAD to me! DEAD. TO. ME.
Go Pack Go!
Green Bay!!!
I know right? These people and their trade tariffs
Right?! Sheesh.
Go ‘Niners!
At this point I have no shits left to give. Bears already played Thursday.
I am kinda intrigued by what might arise from the Browns/ Steelers rematch.
Fuck you.
Isn’t Mike a little old for you?

WTF?

Decided to watch Jack Ryan season 2. Turned off 3/4 of the way through the first episode. They decided to portray the failure of Venezuela as the result of a right wing dictator and the good guys as social justice warriors. Too bad, the first season was decent, now it’s just propaganda.
I have been tempted to start that numerous times but suspected they couldn’t make it as good as the first season which I thought was very good. What a bummer they went there.
The twist ending for the second season was complete bullshit an not needed. I noticed the right wing slant and ignored it. The second season felt like it was written by committee.
That’s People’s Committee.
You know who else was portrayed as a right wing dictator?
So OMWC, did you get your VPN set up for the game? This should be a good one, I think the Niners squeak by in a low scoring game. This will be their biggest challenge. I’m going for a 45 min tape delay so I don’t have to sit through the interminable ads and replay breaks. I should catch up to real time by halftime.
It is absolutely unavailable here. SP has been frantically trying to find something, anything, but zero luck. Fuck the NFL blackout policy.
Riveting game. 14-7 Ravens.
14-14.
Watching play by play on Yahoo sports. Fuck the NFL for making me do this.
One of the best games of the season.
So far, it sure has been. The two best teams have each met their equal.
Easily best game of the day.
Go Ravens!
Could be a preview of the SB this year…
Did you try this?
Don’t remember who linked that site but it worked for me a few weeks back.
YOU ARE A GOD AMONG MEN.
Thanks go to one of the Tulpi. I don’t get NBC or ESPN and have to use it to watch games there. As to god among men, you should taste my bruschetta. I run the risk of eating my buzz away. Always a Sunday risk.
SP is making scallion pancakes. I’ll do a couple of sauces.
Hm… Jets or Giants? Somebody flip a coin for me.
Tails
Giants, because you get to watch the Packers.
Why would want to do that?!
“I”
Red Zone Channel FTW.
Well, would you look at that. Thanks!
Go Giants!
Taurus – bad luck.
Bad luck
Bad Luck
You should be so lucky
She looks even better now than she did then.
Just blame the sign.
Blame this sign.
❤️❤️❤️
I love funk. Thank you!
Go Chiefs. Raiders are one of those teams I always root against.
Watch the Chiefs snatch defeat from the jaws of victorh.
/PTSD
They beat my Vikings.
You say that as if it were a bad thing.
More funk
Even more funk
Which of course brings up this.
The opposite of funk?
I never liked that specific song.
I also like George Michael.
Simple question: why don’t the NFL video cameras have RainX slathered all over the lenses??
Packers are playing football the way it should be played, in the snow.

OFFS. He must be paying to get this much attention.
I like that one of the WRs got a tryout out of that workout.
That is awesome:)
Damn the Jets! They are screwing up our perfect season.
Lol. Maybe that guy will get to come down off his roof.
Maybe, but we have skills. This game could still be thrown away.
I just said that to Jugsy.
“There’s still plenty of time for Cincy to screw it all up”
Since its halftime, have a Busey Break!

Dude’s whack. Lol.
.45-70 and .50-70 revolvers.
Holy crap
I shot a Magnum Research version. I didn’t find the recoil too bad.
WTF?
Are they just flat out of prison space or something?!
Yes, they are out. I am sure they have room in the re-education camp for Ford. He can bunk next to that Milwall guy.
30* and snowing. It’s supposed to snow until tomorrow night. Looks like the snow blower will see action in the morning. Think I’ll stay inside today, drink beer and watch football.
About 1/2 done and the snowblower started to smell, something burning, then quit blowing snow. Fortunately the traction was still working and I could get it back into the garage. Check it out tomorrow. Got enough cleared to get in and out with 4W drive. 15″ of snow and tough going.

Laughed at numerous ones, but the one I want to see a write up on is Feminist Remains Somewhat Blissfully Unaware of Taliban’s Existence.
The tolerance by feminist’s of hardcore Islamist’s is a hilarious degree of disconnect.
The disconnect for those is based on one thing, whether anyone wants to admit it or not:
“We don’t want them to hunt us down, rape and kill us, probably in awful ways.”
“Maybe if we champion them, they will leave us alone and like us!”
Cowardice.
Let’s not kid ourselves the west isn’t terrified of Islam and “Islamophobia” exists for a reason.
Feminism is about destroying western civilization, just like all left wing causes. Islam just happens to be, in their view, a good tool for doing so.
They aren’t ignoring Islamic cultures, they are fans.
What, exactly, do they think will happen when western civilization is destroyed? That they will be in charge?
Lol. Those are great Derp:) I like the Thanksgiving play and Frosty ones the best I think.
NRA struggles and Republican voter suppression. You pick.

That’s some fine fact checkin’, Lou.
OT. Anybody have any thoughts on Jacob hornberger? Dave Smith and Scott Horton are pushing hard for him as L.P. Candidate 2020. Also putting on a push for a Mises caucus takeover of party.
I may post query again in afternoon links I case this is dead thread.
TOS mentioned him a few weeks ago. Sounds like a purity candidate. Not the route the LP has been going but certainly Johnson/Weld left a bad taste in a lot of people’s mouths so who knows. He’s not beholden to the M-I-C so the left and right should equally hate him.
https://reason.com/2019/11/07/candidates-vie-to-represent-the-libertarian-wing-of-the-libertarian-party/
I think my interest in the L.P. Is looking at 2024. Having someone who is principled in line with ballot access and some name recognition may be important then. Close your eyes and think of what a shitshow will be served up after trumps 2nd term. Pence ain’t hacking it. Trump is going to have the effect Obama had on the dems party.
I have a hard enough time seeing ahead to a year from now, much less five years from now. Principled is great, but in the general, people tend to go more for charisma and other intangibles. I think there is an opening for a non-interventialist. Maybe some drug war and justice reform as well. Hopefully there is still some people out there that care about the debt.
Personal responsibility and the NAP are hard sells.
Oh people love the NAP when it comes to themselves. It’s all of those other people making “wrong” decisions that we can’t leave alone. Plus, we must think of the children. Except when it comes to the national debt in which case, f’k the children.
I would agree that Pence is a non-starter. It’s hard to fathom the GOP voting faithful going back to a Jeb Bush but who knows.
Trump is going to have the effect Obama had on the dems party.
Yeah, it’s kind of looking that way. He’s not half as bad as many of his detractors think, but there are enough people turned off by him that it’s having an impact. Only time can tell, and things may look quite different after a second term, but so far the Republicans are in retreat after hitting an apparent zenith in 2016. He’s not directly at fault for all of it though, there’s a lot more people than usual still bitter about him winning the primary.
Well the saving grace for the GOP is the DNC. Is a bunch of old school Socialist the best they can really do?

I appreciate everyone input. I just have been considering the effect of having a ron Paul as the mouthpiece of libertymovement and the long-term effect of that and though I have no love of real interest in party politics it would be good to have some one who can put the principals out there.
I started reading Hornberger over 20 years ago. I really liked his thoughts, can’t remember anything objectionable. Laredo born, VMI grad in Economics, did his military time.
