Merry Tuesday, everyone!

We’re finally off on a long-overdue vacation, so I should have some cool pictures to share in the next few days. There probably won’t be much to read up here over the next few days, but I’ll try to add any pertinent updates.

Recent News:

From Sports Illustrated, the Vikings signed former Broncos OLB Andre Mintze.

KSTP goes one-on-one with Adam Thielen.

Video of the Day

Here’s a little Primus. Enjoy!

Not a whole lot else out there, folks. Y’all have at it in the comments, and remember, be cool to one another.

I knew if he gave it the old kindergarten try, he’d be able to do it.

Now, he’s going to accelerated doing 2 things:

1) Shooting the messengers/comm directors until he finds one who says even more outrageous things that he likes
2) Listening to an even dumber inner circle so he’ll double down on stupid.

NASA, in partnership with ESA (European Space Agency) and CSA (Canadian Space Agency), will release the James Webb Space Telescope’s first full-color images and spectroscopic data during a televised broadcast beginning at 10:30 a.m. EDT on Tuesday, July 12, from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.

Released one by one, these first images from the world’s largest and most powerful space telescope will demonstrate Webb at its full power, ready to begin its mission to unfold the infrared universe.

Each image will simultaneously be made available on social media as well as on the agency’s website at:

A comparison of 2 Costcos was done a couple years ago. They are fairly close but one was in IL and the other was in WI. The IL one needed 5x more business to break even due to gvt regulations.

Like I said, listening to NPR they were highlighting the plight of lower income Americans who have been buoyed by stimulus checks, loan forgiveness, etc…and stated the need to continue that course plus come up with a “fairer” way of assigning low interest loans other than credit reports. Sounded similar to the no paperwork loans that led to the housing bubble in 2009.

We have not yet begun to see the devastation caused by the current administration. Inflation likely gets to 20% and shortages will be common. It will take years to correct and if they keep the current policies in place it will take even longer than it should. $10 gas and gaslines will be the norm. Food shortages will mean the gvt will set quotas. It’s a complete shit show and just getting warmed up.

The major whammy’s we have right now have never been faced all at the same time:

Huge debt per capita
Rising interest rates, will consume 100% of our budget if they hit 10%, so massive tax hike on horizon.
Uncertain economic growth
Massive & growing trade deficit meaning money leaves our economy and can’t be recirculated here. Was positive the last time we had inflation.

I’m not here on my soapbox telling people how to feel or how to invest but I am hoping the less experienced investors among us aren’t panicking. There is plenty of value to be had. Chances are very high and I believe we have seen peak inflation for this cycle. People love to flock to comfort stocks like Coca-Cola, etc…Just because you bought stocks in Johnny (Deere) at $346/share and some guy today only offered $325 for a share doesn’t change the fundamental value of the company. The market has already priced in back to back 3/4% interest rate hikes.

My qualifications to offer advice are crap. I’ve read all the typical investment books and pore over the articles on Fidelity and bogleheads as I have been solely responsible for my wife and I’s portfolio for almost 30 years and a little bear market and inflation is just part of the cycle. Look at the history of the S&P 500 in our lifetimes. She’ll come back stronger than ever as investor sentiment changes in the wind.

I should have been a stock broker. Those guys make bank.

Sage.

I fell victim back when I was wet behind the ears. Reenlisted in the USAF, got a truckload of cash, and invested some of it. Several months later I got a notice that the market had dropped, and my current balance was below my initial investment amount, and I needed to send them more cash to remain invested, or cash out.

Having spent the vast majority of the rest of the truckload (MAN, Germany was fun!!) I cashed out. They sent me a check for several hundred more than my initial investment, because in the short time after I told them to cash out the market recovered.

Not saying the shitshow we’re in will straighten out that fast, but yes, it will straighten out.

Stuck between a rock and a hard place. No one wants to see the economy go into the crapper.

I got my investment advisor clients out of the market prior to the 1987 crash. I had grown men thanking me by offering their first-born (ok, no they didn’t). People don’t like to lose much money over the short or long run.

The stock market has always been a better performer over the long run than anything else. Having said that, I’m more jittery now than in 1987, 2009, or 2020.

The quacks in this Administration have multiplied and are bound and determined to get everyone on the dole by killing capitalism and the market by a thousand cuts.

Gardiner Emigrant Livingston Red Lodge Laurel Billings experiencing significant flooding. Many bridges out and homes lost. They had to evacuate Livingston’s hospital last night.

I’ve just lost a ton of respect for Rivera.
He is now changing his story as to the reason for the fine.
What a tool.

“Just so everybody understands, I’ve spoken to Jack multiple times on what has happened, what was said,” Rivera said Tuesday in an opening statement to the start of the team’s three-day minicamp. “I told him the decision was I was going fine him $100,000 and we were going to move forward with this. We had a great conversation. We talked again this morning. And the big understanding, just so everyone understands, this is not about the fact that he exercised his right to free speech.

“This is about him impacting the football team. That’s the thing we all have to understand. I believe in the first amendment very strongly… So in Jack’s case same thing. But the thing we all have to understand with these rights, these freedoms, comes a tremendous responsibility and we have to understand that as well.

“And so this is about the impact that was made on our football team, the distraction it has become. It’s a very serious question and topic, but at the end of the day, it did impact us and that’s why I did what I did.”

I was hammered and couldn’t even talk right or stand up straight. Cop is debating about who he wants to breathalize and immediately selects me…. I don’t remember the exact number but I was close to .4 or maybe even slightly over. Cop didn’t even bother breathalizing anyone else.

Luckily, the cop didn’t bust anyone. Made us dump everything and then told us that the RD would handle it. Sent me for like 20 hrs of community service on campus but that was it.

Reminds me of my stepson and the summer post HS graduation. He was camping up by Intake with some friends and told us they were probably going to have a few beers, which was OK with us as long as they didn’t drive or get in the river. Goodness knows I did as much or more when I was that age.

Get a call from Preston, one of the police officers that also was an EMT with me on the ambulance service, at 2 am. He said “ah I just came to this campsite and there are several underage teenagers that appear to have been drinking, but they all deny that they have been drinking with the exception of your stepson, who confessed to having two beers. However, he appears by far the most sober of them all. I confiscated their beer and they assured me they were not going to leave the campsite so I think we’re good but I am required to notify you that your stepson admits to drinking.”

LOL. We always told the kids that they would not get in serious trouble with us as long as they told the truth and to always call no matter the time if they were in a situation that they were not comfortable with (such as catching a ride with someone drunk).

So I read the Vikings had the most rushes in 2021 that went for one yard or less. We also had the most 3 and outs. We basically have the same offense coming back with the 23rd ranked oline and 26th ranked pass blocking. We were lucky w/offensive injuries last season too. Imagine if one or two guys get hurt on our oline and how bad we would be then. Throw in nearly all new inexperienced coaches and we have a shit show just waiting to happen. We might be winless going into the bye.

ah they did not bring in the FBI to do anything, apparently the FBI was investigating extortion:

He could have done something wrong to many women AND he could be extorted by another. Again, both can be true. Maybe they are all lying, were “just offended” or they are just looking for money. IDK.

Yeah I deal with the state and federal gov’t, MN Dept. of Human Services and fed Centers for Medicaid and Medicare. They’re clown shows, especially when it comes to quality of care issues, their answer is always more bureaucracy, like the ongoing increase in cases of abuse/neglect in nursing homes or group homes for people with disabilities, their answer is more investigators and administrators, when the issue is employee quality/retention to due shit wages. Constant and never ending turnover = new employees making mistakes/existing employees being overworked and making mistakes or hiring people you would not normally hire because you have no choice and they suck and can’t handle it and do something really stupid. But yeah, the gov’t answer to this is more gov’t, not better support for providers or their employees. I remember in 2017 we were due for a 7% increase in funding directly for employee wages that was passed by the legislature a couple years prior, but they were like nah, you’re getting a 7% cut instead.

The police let them in through open doors, used excessive force on a group standing on the capital steps by throwing flash bangs at them and spraying with pepper spray which got some idiots to want to fight. Otherwise 99% of the entire event was people walking around taking pictures in a building after being allowed in by police.

In 25 years the Chinese will have stolen every shred of tech we have and will be building their navy, air force, and army weaponry at 10 times the rate we are.

We can’t be giving out security clearances like candy without consequences, nor retain partnerships with Great Britain, Turkey, and others which are overrun with muslims and leftists who are joining their defense companies at an alarming rate without bad things happening.

They won’t have the experience in wars we have, but by that time most of our experienced people will be retired.

One of the most intriguing things to watch with the Vikings in 2022 will be their switch to a 3-4 base defense. Ed Donatell’s arrival as the team’s new defensive coordinator could be the catalyst behind some improvements, but everything must click into place immediately for this objective to be met.

From a personnel standpoint, the 3-4 system may be a good fit with some of the current roster talent. Danielle Hunter’s return to health and the signing of Za’Darius Smith could give the Vikings a prolific pass-rushing tandem if both manage to stay healthy for the entire campaign, which is no guarantee based on recent history.

That said there could be growing pains within the front three on the defensive front but hopefully the secondary will progress. There IS a concern things won’t go according to plan with such a landmark change in ethos though.

There is hope the shift to a base 3-4 and some subtle scheme changes will make the defense much better this year. Like the offensive changes though, it’s a wait and see what happens on the field when the real bullets are flying situation.

Many questions need to be answered and historically things generally don’t go as well as one hopes. Expecting to turn around a historically bad defense and a bottom tier oline in one off season is extremely ambitious and very unlikely to happen. That is why most pundits see us in the bottom third of the league.

Pundits are just media types spouting opinions. Right now, today, the Vikings have old and young talent on the team, and veteran leadership in the locker room. In short, the team has enough talent to compete. How that works out under a completely new coaching staff and completely new offensive and defensive schemes remains to be seen. They could be pretty good, or pretty average. I don’t expect them to be pretty bad.

I’d say the interior OL is bottom 3 in the NFL. TE is last in the NFL. Have 1 rb and he will get hurt for at least some games. Qb is 16th and 32nd if you play a good team, literally the worst qb under pressure in the history of the NFL. Defense has a bottom 2 DL. Lb’s are the best group on D. Secondary will suck but could get better once the rookies get experience. Booth and Cine could be ok. You only have 1 cb on the roster to build with, Booth. Pathetic.

Right now looks like they’re going to plug in Harrison Phillips as the starter on the left side of the D-line, who has 1.5 sacks in 4 years, and a rookie on the right. Plus Tomlinson.

This will be fun.

I think that a 3-4 requires a huge nose tackle who is way above par.

Tomlinson is going to struggle in the run game due to his size in the 3-4. He’s going to get doubled and pushed out of the play pretty frequently.

He’s a journeyman without any accolades and will have to do better than he’s done in his career so far.

Problem with the run defense last year was more on the edges and the LBs sucking, probably have the same issue this year as a 3-4 defense without really good NT usually struggles against the run.

I would expect growing pains for the first half of the season on both the front and back end of the defense. We might be playing 2 rookies on a regular basis in the secondary.
If the Vikes can be 3-3 at the bye, there is a chance for a playoff spot.
