Time to call it a day, but regarding the theft of the Buddha statue in L.A., yeah, I’m of the opinion that was a “custom order”, probably ordered by a collector. Metal theft is highly unlikely, as I’d think any scrapyard would take one look at that and ask, “Where the hell did you get this?!” And it’s not like you just wheel it down to your friendly neighborhood pawn shop and ask for $100 or something, because they’re gonna have the same reaction.

The thief made a beeline for the statue, so they knew exactly what they were there to take.

On that note, have a good one, Lizards and stay healthy.

The only other possibility is that the theft was done to return the piece to the country of origin; so many artifacts were “acquired” by colonial powers by looting nations they controlled. So, in effect, a government-run or cultural heritage organization-run operation of the original owner nation.

From the article:

The missing item is a seated Buddha with a halo, roughly 4 feet tall, created during Japan’s Edo Period (1603-1867) probably as the centerpiece of a temple, according to the gallery.

Being it was from Japan, that would sorta narrow down the list of possible looters.

If the item was from China, I’d definitely look at Chinese agents, since they’ve done it in the past (and disaporic Chinese are rooting them on….). Since it’s from Japan, I’m not looking at repatriation theft….

We were on a service-learning trip in August helping with a couple of summer English language schools. One was on a tiny island with 1200 people. They had a BBQ for us and a local who was regionally famous for playing the Okinawan string instrument that makes the sound that Ry is doing here—the sanshin—performed for us. I got to try my hand at it. It’s hard because the strings are very loose and you have to hit them with precision both in fingering and with the plectrum.

re: #77 Dangerman (sigh…only in America)

BUT WAIT…THERE’S MORE

businessinsider.com

A tale as old as time is playing out yet again: A politician who promotes the importance of family has abandoned them.

This time, it appears to be US Rep. Jeff Duncan, a Republican in South Carolina. Duncan’s wife, Melody Duncan, filed for divorce last week, citing her husband’s multiple affairs.

Melody Duncan, his wife of more than 30 years and mother to his three sons, accused her husband of at least two affairs in the divorce filing, which was first obtained and published by the Index-Journal, a local newspaper in Greenwood.

Duncan has been in office for 13 years and has long advocated for conservative Christian values.

MORE FROM ALVIN MC EWEN

holybulliesandheadlessmonsters.blogspot.com

This is the same Jeff Duncan who published a piece last year accusing Democrats of trying to destroy families and marriages:

Conservative policies are pro-child, pro-family, pro-parent, and most importantly, pro-life. Democrats, however, promote policies and ideologies that ultimately impair children in the long run, vilify concerned parents as “domestic terrorists,” and attack the most vulnerable. Conservatives believe that parents, not the government, should have the primary say in their child’s life and that a child’s rights must be protected first and foremost. For conservatives, when it comes to protecting children, that is the hill to die on.

The following is what he reportedly said about marriage equality in 2010:

I BELIEVE in family. I believe that children develop best when they have loving parents. I believe that marriage is sacred, and should only be defined as a union between one man and one woman I believe in protecting family values, and that is part of the reason why I am running for United States Congress.

And in 2015, he cosponsored a resolution to amend the Constitution to ban marriage equality.

So here we go again. A ‘pro-family’ Congressman who makes a big deal about his morality and opposition to marriage equality has shown himself to be a huge hypocrite. It happens so often that there simply is no shock value anymore. Worse than that, not only have we come to expect it, but we all have come to accept it. And with that acceptance comes the ability of hypocrites like Duncan to get away with it.

Republican Congressmen will never learn to keep Mr. Twinkee in their pants.

These guys were starting to tour then CV19 slammed the door.
He’s got a channel to something going on. The band is very good, and his voice is timeless.

That’s weird. Officialdom at unions is squarely Democratic Party right now, but I had assumed that rank and file are hard to corral and would be Trumpy. It seemed to me that he could offset Biden at least a bit.

My guess is that Trump is a creature of facades and even the possibility of a negative reaction…on record…is enough to keep him away.

It still galls me that they are so callous, heartless, and unfeeling that they would look the parents of SCHOOL SHOOTING VICTIMS in the eye and proudly display those pins openly.

I’d wish that more people would respond with “Why are you so glad about being an asshole”, but very few of these asswipes ever venture out of their safespace.

Pete Buttigieg nails Trump for his ugly comments about wounded vets

During his Sunday morning appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg called out Donald Trump over reports he told military leaders he didn’t want wounded vets to be seen by the public while he was president.

In a recent Atlantic profile of General Mark Milley, the retiring military office recounted the former president telling him “no one wants to see” wounded soldiers, with Milley adding he found Trump’s attitude to those serving their country “superficial, callous, and, at the deepest human level, repugnant.”

Buttigieg, who served in Afghanistan during his 8 years while in the Naval Reserve, was asked by CNN host Dana Bash about the former president’s apparent distaste for service members.

“I want to ask you about a new Atlantic profile that says that then President Trump complained to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley after an Army veteran who lost a leg in combat sang at an event at the Pentagon,” Bash prompted her guest. “Trump reportedly told Milley, ‘Why do you bring people like that here, no one wants to see that, the wounded.’”

“After that article came out, Trump attacked Milley on social media, kind of a rambling post, but suggested that milley deserved the death penalty. You’re a veteran— what’s your response?” she asked

“It’s just the latest in a pattern of outrageous attacks on the people who keep the country safe,” the Biden administration official replied.

After pointing to fellow vets who suffered horrific injuries, he added, “These are the kind of people that deserve respect and a hell of a lot more than that from every American, and definitely from every American president.”

“And the idea that an American president, the person to whom service members look at as a commander in chief, and the person who sets the tone for this entire country could think that way or act that way or talk that way about anyone in uniform, and certainly about those who put their bodies on the line and sacrificed in ways that most Americans will never understand, and I guess wounded veterans make president Trump feel uncomfortable.”

I saw someone with one of those “patriotic t-shirts” and though of making one of the “Land of the Free Because of the Brave” shirt with pictures of:

Ulysses S. Grant
Susan B. Anthony
Richard Winters (Band of Brothers)
Desmond Doss (The medic Andrew Garfield portrayed in Hacksaw Ridge)
MLK Jr.

There are probably some others to put in, but you get the idea.
