Race Day opener

A new day and a new way will open the racing season starting with the Daytona 500. Every Social Democrat with two nickles to rub together has been to the bookie and is betting on AOC’s entry into that august field of gear jammers.

The driver of this wondrous machine has yet to be announced. Speculation among the knowing leads us to believe that Sen Markey is the front runner for this august honor. We wonder how the selected driver will respond to:

“Drivers, Start your motors.”

Observations

As more states put dopers on the roads and streets, they’re getting impaired idiots wandering around in society. Dopers cannot deal with reality, just altering it is a mental defect.

Correlation between marijuana and mental illness

In pot-legal Oregon, “Reefer Madness” – schizophrenia – is a real and growing problem.

Nov. 13 – Pot-legal Oregon is seeing more young people suffering from psychosis due to heavy marijuana consumption as adolescents, reports the Mail-Tribune, a Pulitzer Prize-winning Oregon newspaper.

Oregon is further along the legalization process than Vermont, which allowed personal possession and recreational use this year and is considering licensed cultivation and sale of marijuana.

In Oregon, marijuana may be sold in stores and grown and possessed for personal use. Possession became legal in 2015 and commercial sale in 2016.

In 2017, an estimated 128,000 Oregonians (mostly young adults) consumed marijuana more than once daily.

“‘A string of studies has shown a link between marijuana use and the development of schizophrenia. Researchers estimate 8 to 15 percent of cases of schizophrenia are caused by adolescent marijuana use,’ says Dr. John Mahan, Jackson County Mental Health psychiatric medical director,” the Nov. 11 Mail-Tribune reports.

Oregon also has also reported more emergency room visits for marijuana poisoning, more burns related to cannabinoid oils and more marijuana-related traffic accidents. [snip]

More details linking pot consumption with mental illness, as reported by the Mail-Tribune:

“‘Mental health workers at Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center’s psychiatric unit have noticed more people coming in with marijuana-induced psychosis.

“‘It seems like we are seeing an increase in particularly young men with first-break psychosis and positive urine drug screens for marijuana. And these are people who are self-reporting high uses of marijuana, high THC-content marijuana,’ says Laurel Madrone, clinical manager for Asante’s Behavioral Health Unit in Medford.

“Young people with no history of mental illness themselves or in their families are experiencing delusions and hallucinations,’ Madrone says.”

Vermonters concerned about our legislature’s apparent desire to legalize commercial sale of marijuana might want to write directly to President Donald Trump and acting U.S. Attorney General Matthew Whitaker. [snip]

What will you do if suddenly, one of these dopers gets a ‘Don Quixote’ delusion and starts tilting with windmills with his vehicle.

ICYMI: DNC CEO Actually Had An Honest Answer For How Her Party Would Pay For Medicare For All

Medicare for all is the big-ticket item that a lot of new Democrats are attaching themselves to like barnacle. The ascendant, younger, and more left wing slice of the Democratic Party is full-blown socialist, which definitely keeps the more establishment wing of the party up at night. They know this won’t end well at the ballot box, especially when this wing fails miserably to explain how to pay for this. The price tag for this agenda of is $42 trillion over the next decade, and $218 trillion for the 30-year projection. Even Vox posted an op-edthat said Americans won’t have the patience to pick up this tab, especially when single-payer health care’s success is contingent on existing employer-based plans being cannibalized. When that is thrown into the questioning, support drops like a rock: [snip]

So, how would we pay for it? We don’t know—and neither do the clownswho are pushing this terrible idea. Congresswoman-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who shot her way to stardom by picking off top incumbent Democrat Joe Crowley, has no clue how anything works apparently. From economics to apparently government itself, she’s aloof. On Medicare for All’s costs, she doesn’t understand the question and replies by just saying “you just pay for it.” The best answer was that this scheme is cheaper than our current system because it would…reduce funeral costs.  [snip]

Interesting that those idiots want to pass a bill while admitting they have no clue to pay for it. That’s how socialism destroys an economy: Taxes.

On the TV the other night, Sinead O’Connor suddenly appeared. This never was sang that terrible noise she recorded when Thomas Edison was doing the taping. Then she started in whining and ranting about, well gibberish. I turned her off back then and did this time too.

Sinead goes Shahada?…from Rico

I had long forgotten Sinead O’Connor until her recent conversion to Islam.

– Her one ‘hit’ in 1990 was quite unlistenable, and with nothing going for her since, it was like she just suddenly told Cat Stevens “watch this, and hold my beer.”

After all, becoming a Muzzie did so very much for his career, what could possibly go wrong for hers?

She has assumed the Musloid name ‘Shahada’ which roughly translates to ‘shithead’ or ‘shit-for-brains’ which fits neatly, but I would vote for ‘ramalama-ding-dong’ myself, if asked.

76-year-old Tries to Attack Son with Chainsaw, Son Runs Him Over with Lawn Mower

A Tennessee man lost one of his legs after his son, trying to fend off the 76-year-old’s chainsaw attack, drove over the older man with a lawn mower, according to the Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office.

The father, identified as Douglas Ferguson, of Bristol, now faces a charge of attempted second degree murder, according to the Bristol Herald Courier.

The incident happened June 28, but, because of the severity of the injury, authorities weren’t able to serve the arrest warrant until Tuesday.

Officials say Ferguson’s son was mowing the front lawn when his father went after him with the chainsaw.

“The son defended himself against the attack by running over the suspect with the lawn mower,” according to an SCSO press release obtained by the Kingsport Times-News. “The injuries that the suspect (Ferguson) sustained were as a result of the lawn mower striking and running over him.”

Ferguson, who was found bleeding from his leg and head, was taken to the hospital where doctors amputated his leg.

Investigators with the sheriff’s office said the two men have a long-running feud. [snip]

Not anymore they don’t.

It will prove difficult to wield a chainsaw while hopping around and using a crutch. Of course the father could sneak up and attack him with the crutch. Perhaps a family friend would be kind enough to make a video. Stay tuned in!

Gore: Jet Stream ‘Getting

Loopier and Wavier,’ So ‘We

Have a Global Emergency’

Former Vice President Al Gore declared that scientists predicted hurricane “consequences” of climate change and warned “they’re going to get a lot worse still until we stop using the Earth’s atmosphere as an open sewer.”

Gore was reacting to this week’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report in which 91 authors and editors from 40 countries concluded there’s currently a 12-year window to make “far-reaching and unprecedented changes” to avert dramatic effects of global warming. [snip]

Gore told PBS in an interview aired today that “the earmarks of this latest storm… are worth paying attention to.”

“Hurricane Michael intensified as it reached the coast. And that’s something relatively new,” he said. “And the reason for it is, the ocean waters are much warmer than normal, so it’s not getting cold waters churned up to weaken the storm. It just keeps on getting stronger.” [snip]

Gore said the report showed that current global warming “could actually extend to an existential threat to human civilization on this planet as we know it.”[snip]
