Cal.diy will remain as an open-source self-hosted solution for individual users. It has most of the same features except for support for teams and enterprise authentication methods.

If your code is out there - even as a binary - AI tools can decompile it efficiently.
If your API is out there, AI tools can and will scan it.
It's an understandable move to avoid short-term risks, but the best approach is to use the same AI tools to scan for security issues yourself.

Thursday Overnight Open Thread - April 16,2026 [scampydog]
*****
Your normal regular Thursday host, Doof asked if I had a hankering to do an ONT. Sounded like fun, so here we are. Very irreverent this evening. Let's get to it.
This 1972 DeTomaso Pantera was delivered new to the Aeronutronic division of Ford Aerospace for use as a pool vehicle before being registered to a private owner in Ventura, California, in July 1974. Chassis THPNMD04013 subsequently spent 18 years on display at the Yankee Candle Car Museum in South Deerfield, Massachusetts, prior to being offered on BaT in October 2018 and was subsequently repainted in its factory yellow finish that same year. The car was acquired by the current owner—President and Chief Executive Officer of the Ford Motor Company Jim Farley—on BaT in June 2024.

Eric DaughertyVideo here. When she's not batting clean-up for the Soros Softball Team, she's letting out Somali rapists without prison time so that they can rape again. The feds had to charge this repeat rapist to keep him from committing further rapes.
@EricLDaugh 2h 🚨 HOLY CRAP. Soros linked Hennepin County DA Mary Moriarity just filed ARREST WARRANTS for ICE agents She's claiming they can be arrested anywhere nationwide This must be IMMEDIATELY deemed null and void and she should be removed from power! TRAITOR.
Federal prosecutors on Thursday charged a Minneapolis man in connection with a string of sexual assaults including of a 15-year-old girl. In two of the cases, Abdimahat Bille Mohamed, 28, avoided prison as part of a recent plea deal with the Hennepin County Attorney's Office and allegedly raped his latest victim in September while on probation. In a statement, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi blamed Minnesota's "left-wing soft-on-crime policies" for putting innocent people at risk from a "Somali national." In response, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said the Justice Department news release is a "clear attempt to politicize a sexual assault prosecution to inflict further harm on our entire Somali community."Unfortunately 2032 is a lifetime away:
On May 30, 2024, Minneapolis police arrested Mohamed at his home near downtown for the rape of a woman he met on Snapchat. The victim's sister, who was also in the apartment, had called 911. The victim told paramedics that Mohamed had raped and strangled her and threatened to kill her sister. Hennepin County prosecutors charged Mohamed the next day. Several months later, the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension linked Mohamed's DNA to the 2017 kidnapping and sexual assault of a 15-year-old girl in Minneapolis. In October 2024, the Hennepin County Attorney's Office charged Mohamed separately in the earlier case. In April, Mohamed pleaded guilty to felony charges of criminal sexual conduct in both cases, but he did not go to prison. Following the terms of Mohamed's plea deal, Judge Juan Hoyos gave Mohamed five years of probation for the rape of the 15-year-old and a stayed sentence of 14 months in the other case. Hennepin County prosecutors agreed not to charge Mohamed in a May 2018 sexual assault of which he was suspected. The case came to the attention of the Minnesota U.S. Attorney's Office after Hennepin County prosecutors charged Mohamed on Monday in connection with a third sexual assault. While on probation for the rape of the 15-year-old girl, Mohamed met a Mankato woman on Snapchat in mid-September and picked her up at her home. According to court documents, he allegedly took her to a hotel in Bloomington, where he held her against her will for six days and repeatedly raped her.

Scott Jennings just left 26-year-old left-wing activist David Hogg stumbling in his dust live on CNN. Hogg tried to claim anyone with an "elementary school understanding" of foreign policy could have predicted the Strait of Hormuz closure. Jennings left him speechless with one simple question. HOGG: "Anybody with an elementary school understanding of foreign policy could have told you the Strait of Hormuz was going to get shut down, and that is exactly what happened." JENNINGS: "And who controls it right now?" [Silence] "Who controls strait right now?" HOGG: "How high are...why are gas prices so high then?" JENNINGS: "Why were they high during Biden's administration? Did you like that?" [Jennings laughs in his face] "You're using last week's talking points David, WE control the strait!" "We are in charge of this conflict right now."
Eric DaughertySO CLOSE TO PRIDE MONTH?!! SO CLOSE TO PRIDE MONTH?!!?

Democrat Strategist Michael Trujillo: Politico Was Investigating Rapewell When He Was Running for President But The "Energy Dissapated" When He Dropped Out So Politico Killed the Story
In other words: When Rapewell was threatening to become an easily-defeated Presidential candidate, they were willing to investigate the well-known rumors of harassment even rape, but when he dropped out and was no longer a threat to The Party, they let him off scot-free to go back to being a useful Democrat tool in Congress where he could continue to rape women.
This is mostly bullshit spin about the Democrat Party building an escape-proof trap for Rapewell and just waiting to strike when the time was right. That's a lie. You never wanted to take him out until he again threatened to become an easily-defeated candidate. But the admission about Politico is interesting.Michael TrujilloYeah that was your strategy - not covering it up forever so long as he stayed in his lane and did not attempt to rise above his appointed station.
@mikehtrujillo One note on the Swalwell stuff - (this isn't confirmed) but a reporter with Politico was working on verifying the rumors on Swalwell when he was running for President. (he's no longer with the publication) Two days before he was scheduled to sit down with this reporter Swalwell dropped out of the race. The energy disappeared to potentially take him out, the victims if they were even willing to go on the record never did. He slithered back to his safe house seat. December 2025 was too early to take down Swalwell we had to wait til his paperwork was ALL IN running for governor March 2026, so the head of the snake could be chopped off and he had no safe house seat to slither back to this time. Hate the strategy fine, but for folks unsure if this would work, we had to make sure he couldn't get away like he did in 2020.
Entertainment720Economy
@E720Economy 14h If the dirt on him was as bad as you say why would your party allow him to slither back to a House seat? They happily would have found the GOP votes to expel him. This wasn't about doing what was right, this was about fear of the top 2 candidates in the Cali primary being GOP.
Weird how Democrat operatives were able to find and persuade those witnesses to come forward the very instant it was critical to The Party's political fortunes to do so.
Michael Trujillo
@mikehtrujillo I don't know what you are talking about - witnesses need to come forward and make the accusation so reporters and the police in this case can do their job. I am not a victim and I'm not a witness of him committing these acts, so how do I prevent him from slithering back exactly ?

Candace Owens Urges Her Vicious Fanatics to Spy On and "Track" Erika Kirk; When Erika Kirk Is Forced to Cancel an Appearance Because Owens' Lunatics Did In Fact Track and Dox Her Plane, Owens Claims She's Faking About Feeling Threatened
And speaking of dangerous madwomen threatening a mother and her child...
Bear in mind, this malignant narcissist told us all a few months ago that French Intelligence had sent Assassination Squads to kill her for getting too close to the truth about Brigitte Macron -- and that we should all take this threat on her life very, very seriously. Number of French intelligence assassination attempts on Cavernous Nostrils size then: Zero point zero. But this maniac is telling her cult followers to track, spy on, and doxx Erika Kirk -- and they're doing just that. She's also telling her cultists that she wonders if she needs to stab Erika Kirk -- we'll get to that in a minute. This resulted in threats on Erika Kirk's life, and required her to cancel an appearance at an event, per the advice of her security team:Oli LondonKirk mentioned that she could not risk making her now-fatherless children an actual orphan by allowing herself to be the next one murdered.
@OliLondonTV Apr 15 Erika Kirk pulled out of speaking at the University of Georgia due to serious security threats amid targeted hate campaigns against her. "...After all our family has been through, I take my security team's recommendations extremely seriously." JD Vance had revealed she had received "some very serious threats in her direction" before she had to pull out of joining him at the university.

A Violent Madwoman Was Set Free After Setting Her Father on Fire -- And Now Stabs A Three-Year-Old Child During a Kidnapping
The below video is worth the watch. If you skip to 12:05, you can see an antifa-type say that he doesn't like police bodycams -- because, of course, they disprove the lies and hoaxes pushed by BLM and antifa.
A court decided that she was too incompetent to stand trial.
But instead of locking her away in an asylum, he allowed her to "remain in her community" unless her mental health team recommended incarceration -- which they didn't. And now, a three-year-old child has been stabbed.Daniel FriedmanThere are very compelling photos of this madwoman on the verge of stabbing the child with a butcher's knife (which she also stole, of course). She did in fact stab the three-year-old, though he's expected to recover. I was going to post the photo but I think it's probably too upsetting. You can see it linked at Twitchy. The photo doesn't show the actual stabbing, just the moment before it. Note that she has a long history of enriching our culture.
@DanFriedman81
Two years ago, Naomi Guzman doused her father in lighter fluid and tried to set him on fire, then broke into a church and threatened a priest with a knife. She was found incompetent to stand trial and released. Today, she abducted a toddler and stabbed him before she was shot and killed by police.
No one is reporting that Noemi (proper spelling) Guzman is a US citizen or illegal alien, which, I think, is strong evidence that she's yet another Maryland Man.
In 2024, Guzman was arrested after she allegedly stabbed her father and attempted to start a fire inside his home, KETV reported.
Guzman reportedly doused her father in a flammable liquid and cut him with a knife before fleeing the home. She then broke into nearby St. Frances Cabrini Church and began destroying items inside the rectory while armed with a knife, according to KETV. A priest at the church reportedly called 911 and subsequently barricaded himself inside a room as Guzman continued her attack. "Whatever room he was in, she busted through that room just as they were extracting [him] on that ladder truck," Lt. Jake Ritonya said at the time of the incident, KETV reported. "And then she was armed with a knife. So obviously it could have gone very bad." Guzman then proceeded to barricade herself inside the building and allegedly sprayed bear spray at authorities as they attempted to make contact, the outlet reported. "There was bear spray in the rectory that she sprayed at my officers when we tried to make contact," Ritonya said. "So we tried multiple avenues to contact her with drones and negotiators, and it just wasn't -- she was in a mental health crisis." She was subsequently taken into custody as she attempted to jump out of a window, but later released on her own recognizance while facing four felony charges, according to WOWT.
Klaveec
@klaveec 20h Translated from Spanish #UNUSUAL Nebraska police shot and killed Noemí Guzmán, a 31-year-old Latina, after she stole a kitchen knife and attacked a 3-year-old child. Guzmán took a knife from a store and approached the child, who was in a shopping cart with his caregiver. Under threat, she forced the woman to walk ahead of the cart while she pushed it toward the parking lot. Officers arrived at the scene and confronted her, and despite requests to drop the weapon, the suspect refused and began stabbing. Due to the imminent danger, they fired their weapons, wounding her, and she later died at the scene. The child suffered a cut on the face and a wound on the hand.
Wesley Yang
@wesyang It's completely insane that being too crazy to stand trial results in a violent criminal's release rather than permanent protective custody without appeal
Uubzu v4
@uubzu That's your child, who has no idea why the world is this way and is counting on you for protection And with your child, a demon. The System has determined that the demons must roam free

UK "Legal" Advisors Tell Muslim Migrants to Lie and Claim That They're Gay
Related flashback: In January of this year, The Guardian wined and sniffled that "transgenders" were being denied asylum in Netherlands because, despite their insane delusions, America is one of the safest countries in the world for "transgenders." So they're held in refugee camps after they're denied asylum but are still waiting on their one appeal:
This would result in persecution if they were returned back home, though I don't know why it should be so, because everyone on the left tells me Muslim countries are not anti-gay at all, just anti-zionist or something.
So, as they do here in the US, people paid to advise illegal aliens simply tell them to commit perjury. And we pay their salaries to advise illegal aliens to defraud the system.The United Kingdom has an asylum system similar to the one we have here in the United States. The purpose of these systems is to ensure that the state doesn't deport anyone who is in danger of being killed if they are deported. Here in the US, especially during the Biden administration, the system was widely abused by migrants who were in reality here for jobs. But they had learned from other migrants or from progressive groups in this country that by claiming asylum at the border they would be allowed in to the country and it would probably take as long as 7 years before their case would be decided by a judge. In the vast majority of cases that judge would state the obvious, i.e. economic migrants are not covered by asylum laws. An order of deportation would be issued. But by that point, the migrant might have US born children and, whether they did or not, ICE would almost never come for them regardless of what the judge said. So long as they didn't get convicted of a felony, they were allowed to stay anyway. In the UK, the asylum system is similarly designed to protect people who might be in danger if deported. And today the BBC reports that has created an incentive for legal advisers to recommend their clients lie about their sexuality in order to convince authorities they would be targeted if sent home. In short, claim you are gay and you'll be allowed to stay.The UK requires "proof of homosexuality" but that's easily obtained. Hit the link to see how they fake their Gay Paperwork. No, they don't have to have sex with a dude to prove they're gay. One man just claimed to be gay and was told he could bring over his wife from Pakistan once he got asylum -- he would just then claim that his wife is a lesbian. Get ready for a shock:
A shadow industry of law firms and advisers is charging thousands of pounds to help migrants pretend to be gay in order to stay in the UK, the BBC has found. In the first part of a major undercover investigation, we reveal how migrants whose visas are due to run out are being given fake cover stories and instructed in how to obtain fabricated evidence, including supporting letters, photographs and medical reports. They then apply for asylum claiming to be gay and in fear for their lives if they return to Pakistan or Bangladesh... This group now makes up 35% of all asylum claims, which topped 100,000 in 2025.
The men trying this scam are disproportionately Pakistani.You. Don't. Say.
Related flashback: In January of this year, The Guardian wined and sniffled that "transgenders" were being denied asylum in Netherlands because, despite their insane delusions, America is one of the safest countries in the world for "transgenders." So they're held in refugee camps after they're denied asylum but are still waiting on their one appeal:
No other option': inside the refugee camp for trans Americans fleeing Trump Fear, abuse and eroding rights have forced many trans people to leave the US -- can they claim asylum in the Netherlands? Ter Apel, a small, unassuming Dutch town near the German border, is a place tourists rarely have on their itinerary. There are no lovely old windmills, no cannabis-filled coffee shops and on a recent visit it was far too early for tulip season. When foreigners end up there, it is for one reason: to claim asylum at the Netherlands' biggest refugee camp, home to 2,000 desperate people from all around the world.That flashback thanks to Greg Foreman. He points out that "normal countries," like the Netherlands, do not let "asylum seekers," almost all of whom are mere economic migrants not entitled to asylum, do not allow migrants into the country while their nonsense claims are scrutinized. Rather, they're kept in camps until their cases are resolved.
Some, like the Eritreans and Somalis, are fleeing war; the Syrians insist it remains unsafe for them to return home after the fall of Assad. But in the last year they have been joined by a curious new cohort: a bunch of Americans, who say they have feared for their lives ever since Donald Trump returned to the White House. Their presence has surprised many of the camp's residents. "My dream is to go to America or the UK. America for me is the paradise," said Usama, a 21-year-old Libyan-Algerian hanging around the main gate. "You can work, you can make a million if you have a good idea. Why they come here?" It is a fair question. Last year, 76 Americans claimed asylum in the Netherlands, according to the Dutch asylum and immigration ministry, up from nine in 2024. Unlike the UK, the Netherlands does not rent out hotels or houses for asylum seekers, instead housing them in fenced-off camps, officially called reception centres, dotted around the country. Many of the American refugees, like Jane-Michelle Arc, a 47-year-old software engineer from San Francisco, are transgender. In April last year she flew into Schiphol airport in Amsterdam and, sobbing, asked a customs officer how to claim asylum. "And they laughed because: what's this big dumb American doing here asking about asylum? And then they realised I was serious." Arc said the US had become such a hostile environment for trans people that she had stopped leaving the house "unless there was an Uber waiting outside". She said she had been abused on the street and using the ladies' toilets, and resolved to leave the country after a frightening incident when she feared a woman was going to run her over with her truck.

Israel, Lebanon Will Observe a Cease-Fire to Discuss a Peace Treaty
They don't want to be at war -- but the southern Shias do. And the weird thing is, it's the people who want to be at war who get to decide if you're at war or not.

Credibly Accused Rapist and Former Virginia Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax Murders Wife, Shoots Self in Murder-Suicide
You probably remember the name but may have some trouble remembering the details.
Back during BlackFaceGate, where they totally not-racist Democrat Governor Ralph Northam turned out to have worn black face multiple times in college -- and then his totally not-racist AG was revealed to have done so as well -- there was no push for Northam to resign in favor of his Lt. Governor Justin Fairfax because, get this, multiple women came forward accusing Fairfax of having raped them during his college years and then in his early adulthood. Because this was a Democrat, #BelieveAllWomen did not apply, and there was no pressure for Fairfax to resign. Nor was there any pressure for the blackface-wearing governor and AG to resign. See, it's (D)ifferent. Well, it turns out that Justin Fairfax wasn't just a rapist, but an incipient murderer.WASHINGTON -- Embattled former Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax killed his estranged wife and himself inside their million-dollar home outside the nation's capital early Thursday, cops said. The 47-year-old Democrat repeatedly shot Cerina Fairfax in the basement of their Annandale residence just after midnight before turning the gun on himself in another part of the abode, according to Fairfax County Police Chief Kevin Davis. The couple's two teenage children were inside the home at the time of the murder-suicide, and their son called 911 to report the shootings.Obviously the chief of police in this ultra-blue county is a Democrat, because you usually don't say that a repeat rapist really had it going on. But again, it's (D)ifferent.
"It is high-profile in nature, it's tragic in nature. Certainly a fall from grace for a relatively high-profile family that seemingly had had a lot of things going in their favor," Davis told reporters shortly before the couple's bodies were removed from the home.
Psychopathic monster. And this was a high-ranking Democrat Party official.
"So, tragic for the children to lose both parents, extra tragic for them to actually be in the home when it occurred. So yeah, there's a lot going on."
... Four years later, Fairfax was elected lieutenant governor to Ralph Northam, but his own ambitions for higher office were derailed in 2019 after multiple women came forward to accuse him of sexual assault. ... "This has been an ongoing domestic dispute surrounding what seems to be a complicated or messy divorce," Davis said. ...Huh. We didn't hear anything about that. Again, it's (D)ifferent.
Police had responded to the family home back in January after Fairfax accused his wife of assaulting him. Investigators later determined he'd lied after reviewing footage from multiple cameras that Cerina had set up inside the home.
... At least two women publicly accused Fairfax of sexually assaulting them in 2000 and 2004. Vanessa Tyson, an associate professor at Scripps College and fellow at Stanford University, accused Fairfax of raping her at a hotel during the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston. Fairfax denied the accusation, saying the encounter was consensual. Then a second woman, Meredith Watson, came forward to claim Fairfax raped her in a "premeditated and aggressive" attack in 2000 while they were both at Duke.The Democrat Party is the party of psychopaths, rapists, and killers. It must be purged, Baath-style. There's something conservatives say which I'm sick of: "We think the Democrats are wrong, while they think we're evil." This is supposed to make us sound reasonable and grown-up. It's stupid and it's a lie -- they are evil. And I'm tired of the soft-heads who say otherwise. They just don't have bad policies -- they have bad brains. They have bad morals, bad psychologies, bad motives, and plenty of bad faith. They're bad people. Yes of course there are those who are simply deluded and brainwashed, but the party -- especially at its operator levels -- is all about malice and greed. If you read Marx, what you instantly realize is that he has built a "politics" out of his deep character flaw (and possibly mental illness). That psychological problem is malicious envy. He sees something he wants, but cannot achieve, so he invents a philosophy of Gimme Gimme to explain why the power of the state should be used to take the thing he wants from its owner and give it to him. The entire Democrat Party is based on envy and people who think they "deserve." They're generally not smart nor productive, but they "deserve" top-paying jobs and of course enormous respect and social status. They're unattractive and unappealing, but they deserve the absolute highest quality mates and free sex on demand. Many, like Eric Swalwell, will resort to rape when the "deserving" they feel about women's affections goes unfulfilled. And they construct psychopath-level manipulations to demonstrate to you that they are morally entitled to use state coercion to take what you have -- "expropriate" -- and appropriate it for themselves. James Lindsey calls "critical theories" "cynical theories," because "critical theory" is nothing but a cynical, self-interested, greedy, envious, spiteful attempt to manipulate you into accepting that what you have actually, rightfully belongs to them. Say that's a nice house, Madam. But you built on "stolen land" so I should have your house. Yes, I'm 1/1028th Cherokee, my "family lore" says, but even if I weren't, I have the moral perfection to properly cherish this Stolen Land and do honor to the tribes you stole it from by "living in harmony" with the salon and master bedroom. It's just gimme, gimme, gimme all the way down. Low-quality people spamming out ridiculous manipulations to seize all the high-quality jobs and goods. It is an artificial caste system created to privilege the psychopaths over their marks and victims. It is, as a Rick and Morty joke said, just slavery with extra steps. Hello! Despite my current disgust, it's a great day. I have made the first (I hope) step towards achieving a dream: Befriending a crow. A crow landed on my deck (near my well-varnished desk) and quickly scrambled to find some old cereal to feed him. He didn't fly off even when I had opened the door and was tossing food around. He just ate with me a few steps away. I've now tossed out some keto bread -- I don't think that will hurt a bird, because keto bread is made mostly of bullshit and self-delusion (it's just fucking bread; the increased price is a tax on stupidity) -- and am waiting, hoping he will return to eat more. So that's pretty good, isn't it? I typed in "how to befriend" and Google auto-completed "a crow." That kind of indicates the system is spying on me, doesn't it? (Or maybe I've just typed that in before.)
Befriending a crow requires patience, consistency, and high-value treats to build trust. Start by consistently offering raw, unsalted peanuts, dry dog food, or suet in the same spot daily. Keep a calm demeanor, avoid direct eye contact or sudden movements, and allow them to approach you on their own terms.Ordering unsalted peanuts now, Cap'n!

The Morning Report -- 4/ 16/26
Sadly the cancer of Democrat Leftism has metastasized all over the place, and while California, regardless of its electoral system is most likely a lost cause barring some sea change in the societal/political landscape that might happen (I am not holding my breath), the Democrats have a very deep and dark bench, including the absolutely horrendous Tom Steyer. Meanwhile 3000 miles or so to the east, we have this blonde beast to contend with, who likely has national aspirations for national socialism as this trio of links indicates
https://freebeacon.com/campus/moderate-governor-abigail-spanberger-signs-bill-forcing-virginia-schools-to-consider-restorative-disciplinary-practices-before-suspending-students/ 'Moderate' Governor Abigail Spanberger Signs Bill Forcing Virginia Schools To Consider 'Restorative Disciplinary Practices' Before Suspending Students
And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.
Eric Swalwell was Nancy Pelosi’s made man, the golden child of San Francisco’s rotten machine politics.Yes the ramifications are indeed national and so Swalwell had to go, lest the Democrats lose more than just a statehouse and control of one state, albeit a massive and important one.
Today he’s roadkill, his name erased from the sign outside his congressional office, vultures feasting on his remains.
Swalwell’s clinical political eradication this week tells you everything about the Democratic Party and how ruthlessly and efficiently they will move to keep to power in the state they have controlled for 15 years and run into the ground.
California, our most populous and richest state, is the engine of their vast patronage system, fueled in part by illegal migration and social services fraud that has ripped tens, perhaps hundreds, of billions of dollars off the taxpayer and recycled it through unions and “grassroots” donations back into the party.
That’s why Dr. Mehmet Oz, Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, calls California the “kingdom of fraud” as he confronts massive organized ripoffs of Medicaid, home health services and hospice care... Illegal migration, turbocharged under Joe Biden by his Homeland Security secretary, California hit man Alejandro Mayorkas, also served the machine well, by artificially inflating the state’s census counts and enabling voter fraud.
The census inflation led to extra House seats for California and more electoral votes, and thus more power in presidential elections.
In return, the machine sponsors and protects useful buffoons like Swalwell, who was one of “Pelosi’s boys” from the minute he threw his hat into national politics as a 31-year-old San Francisco councilman with a mischievous grin and a lackluster legal career behind him.

Such practices include a 'restorative circle,' a 'centuries-old indigenous practice' in which participants sit in a circle to discuss their actionsThen... She goes Gun Crazy, Quelle Surprise?!
The DOJ’s warning signals potential federal litigation, challenging the constitutionality of the Virginia Democrats’ proposed laws. Pro-Second Amendment critics of the legislation argue the measures could restrict firearms commonly used for lawful purposes, while proponents of gun control, including Spanberger, have attempted to frame the legislation as necessary to address gun violence.Turd and finally...
By signing this compact, Spanberger has agreed to hand Virginia’s 13 electoral votes to whichever presidential ticket wins the national popular vote.Now you can see how crucial it is for the Dems that there isn't even a sliver of an iota of a scintilla of a chance that they lose control of California. But then again, if more states follow VIrginia in handing over their electoral votes to the popular vote winner thus de facto destroying the Electoral College, that's ball game, even if the Golden State should flip Red. Assuming that a GOP candidate even wins the popular vote ever again. On that cheery note... Have a great day!
And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

As everyone in the attached Hacker News thread notes, this is entirely in keeping with the Gas Town philosophy, and with the recent practices of project lead Steve Yegge: It's a Ponzi scheme that turns Ponzi schemes into more Ponzi schemes, without at any point approaching utility.
Gas Town is an AI project for creating and managing AI projects, created and managed entirely by AI. Nobody knows how or if it works, and in fact it mostly doesn't. And now it spends your money on expanding itself.

Rose alleges that Perry rubbed up on her with her dirty vag.
Police in Australia are investigating after Ruby Rose accused Katy Perry of sexual assault. Victoria Police confirmed the investigation in a statement shared with USA TODAY on April 15, days after Rose claimed the singer sexually assaulted her almost two decades ago. A representative for Perry has denied the "reckless" allegations. "Melbourne Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team (SOCIT) detectives are investigating [an alleged] historical sexual assault that occurred in Melbourne in 2010," Victoria Police said in a statement. "Police have been told the incident occurred at a licensed premises in Melbourne's CBD," or the Australian city's central business district, home to bars, nightclubs and more. "As the investigation remains ongoing, it would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage," the statement concluded. ... "I was only in my early 20s. I'm now 40. It has taken almost 2 decades to say this publicly," she wrote. "Though I am so grateful to have made it long enough to find my voice, it just shows how much of an impact trauma and sexual assault takes. Thank you for seeing me." The "Batwoman" actress also said she planned to go to the police "to see if any of my experiences can be investigated." She later posted, "I did it." "The allegations being circulated on social media by Ruby Rose about Katy Perry are not only categorically false, they are dangerous reckless lies," the statement said. "Ms. Rose has a well-documented history of making serious public allegations on social media against various individuals, claims that have repeatedly been denied by those named."
Berkeley campus radicals demand the removal of Trump "by any means necessary."
You have probably been enraged by the phenomenon of young thugs-- usually black, Muslim, or immigrant, or all three -- engaging in acts of harassment and intimidation against random law-abiding citizens and then posting videos of these crimes on to social media, where they get plaudits and clicks for this psychopathic behavior. The latest "trend" is to touch white strangers' hair without permission. So funny! There was one especially noisome criminal called "Johnny Somali" who made money as a Harassment Entrepreneur. I guess he got bored of upsetting white people and took his social terrorism act... to South Korea. Whoops. Low-IQ gonna Low-IQ.
A left-wing activist group at the University of California, Berkeley recently staged a protest opposing the war in Iran, declaring that "Trump must go now by any means necessary." The demonstration, held on April 7, was advertised on social media as an "Emergency Protest" against the administration's military actions in Iran, along with purported "fascist ethnic cleansing" in the Middle East and United States and issues related to immigration. The group appeared to call for a military mutiny in the post, writing, "The American joint chiefs, officers and soldiers must disobey Trump's illegal orders to commit war crimes against the Iranian people!" Campus Reform was present at the protest and captured exclusive video. The organizing group, known as By Any Means Necessary (BAMN), describes itself as a "Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action, Integration and Immigration Rights and Fight for Equality By Any Means Necessary." The organization has committed itself to "defeating Donald Trump and his fascist movement by any means necessary."
During the protest, demonstrators displayed signs with messages such as "Stop Trump's fascist police state By Any Means Necessary," while a number of participants delivered speeches criticizing the president and federal immigration authorities. "Trump is a fascist, the whole Trump regime is a fascist, ICE is a fascist," said one speaker who identified himself only as Ryan, adding that activists should continue demonstrations "over and over again until Trump is out," UC Berkeley student Frances Cramer, who observed the protest, told Campus Reform that the slogan raised concerns. "I immediately thought the sign called for violence or demonstrated ill intent," Cramer said.
Legal YouTuber "Legal Mindset" was so annoyed by this anti-civilizational activist's antics that he set up a "Somali Conviction Team" to give evidence and encouragement to South Korean prosecutors. I imagine one of his tasks was to reassure prosecutors that no, no one in the west is going to be outraged at South Korea jailing a foreigner, we're all sick to death of these morlocks too. He does a victory lap in this video, which begins with the Low-IQ Somali guaranteeing he will not spend a single night in Korean prison. Unfortunately, the Korean judge got cold feet and did not imprison him for the three years of prison labor the prosecutors sought. But six months, 20 days of prison labor -- probably the first day of work he's done in his life -- will fix his wagon a bit. Speaking of foreign terrorists who need to be imprisoned: The Democrat Party is executing a full-court press to normalize and mainstream the openly pro-terrorist, "The US deserved 9/11" Islamis Hasan Piker:
US internet 'troll' Johnny Somali sentenced to South Korea labor prison for public nuisance -- months after comparing himself to Otto Warmbier
A controversial American YouTuber was sentenced to half a year in a South Korean labor prison for his nuisance behavior, including posting a video of himself crudely dancing on a statue honoring World War II sex slaves. Ramsey Khalid Ismael, a self-proclaimed internet "troll" known as Johnny Somali online, was tossed into the specialized prison on Wednesday, the Korea Herald reported. Ismael, 25, had provoked citizens in South Korea by singing the North Korean national anthem, spilled noodles inside a convenience store, got into several heated arguments with strangers, and degraded the solemn "Statue of Peace," all stunts he shared on YouTube. "I am the Otto Warmbier of South Korea. A political prisoner wrongfully and falsely accused and made into a scapegoat by a tyrannical government. The truth will come to light soon," Ismael wrote on X in January, referencing college student Otto Warmbier, who became a North Korean prisoner in 2016 before he was released in a vegetative state and later died. Ismael was indicted by the Seoul Western District Court in November on charges of obstruction of business and violations of minor public order laws.
"The defendant repeatedly committed crimes against unspecified members of the public to generate profit via YouTube and distributed the content in disregard of Korean law," the court said during the trial, noting prosecutors sought a three-year prison sentence, according to the outlet. The trial, originally scheduled for March 2025, had been delayed after prosecutors added additional charges alleging Ismael shared AI-generated sexual content of him with a deepfake with a female YouTuber, the outlet reported. Ismael was deemed a flight risk and was detained immediately after his sentencing. Ismael faces 20 days of detention, is barred from working at institutions that serve minors and people with disabilities for five years, and will have to be registered as a sex offender for the same time. ... Ismael, who currently boasts a whopping 5,220 YouTube subscribers, had become notorious on the South Korean streets for his offensive stunts, including repeatedly shouting racial slurs. ... Ismael continued his romp around the Korean capital, getting into several more heated arguments and making sexually abusive and racist comments at unsuspecting passers-by. One interaction occurred inside a convenience store when Ismael and another man got into a shouting match over Israel before the two were kicked out by a store employee, but not before the streamer shouted, "Free Palestine."

Real Headline: California Provides Sex-Change Procedures to Homeless Illegal Aliens
Christopher Rufo reports at City Journal:
Last month, we received a report from a whistleblower who claimed that illegal aliens were staying in San Francisco's homeless shelters. Following up on the tip, we visited numerous publicly funded shelters in San Francisco, and spoke to employees and residents about their policies, sometimes through a translator. We discovered not only that the shelters were housing illegal immigrants but also that they were apparently housing a population of male-to-female "transgender" illegal aliens, who had hoped to obtain "gender-affirming care." And, to our shock, state and local governments apparently are providing it. St. Vincent De Paul's MSC-South facility is San Francisco's largest homeless shelter, and, in 2024, signed a $66 million service contract with the city. After we arrived at the front entrance, an employee wearing a do-rag and a light green polo shirt showed us around and confirmed that illegal aliens were living there. "You got a few people here from El Salvador. . . . You got a few people here from Venezuela. You got a few people here from a little bit of everywhere," he said. As a rule, he suggested, management instructed employees to refuse cooperation with federal immigration authorities. "When the ICE thing was going around, we all had a meeting, and they told us, 'We ain't letting them in.'" Among the shelter's residents was a group of Hondurans who identified as transgender. During our visit to MSC-South, whose executive director did not respond to a request for comment, we spoke with two Honduran men, "Lyca" and "Alondra," who identified as transgender women. Both indicated that the local government gave them shelter and food. Lyca, who wore long hair and red lipstick, was candid about this arrangement. He confirmed that he was an illegal immigrant and that the shelter doesn't ask questions about immigration status. "Tengo Medi-Cal," he said, referring to the state health-care program, which, under Governor Gavin Newsom, began providing "full scope" coverage to illegal aliens, which includes transgender procedures, or "gender affirming care." He said he was receiving cross-sex hormone therapy--and bore the physical signs of having done so. Alondra, a muscular man in a camouflage shirt and dyed hair tied behind his head, said he had been in the United States after claiming asylum. According to the translator, the city government had offered to pay first and second month's rent on private apartments for him and Lyca. But neither accepted the offer--in Lyca's case, because he might not be able to pay for the apartment after the second month. At the Embarcadero SAFE Navigation Center, a city-funded shelter on the eastern waterfront that did not respond to our comment request, we heard similar stories. "Jacqueline"--a self-identified "trans woman" from Mexico living at the shelter who claimed to be a lawful U.S. resident--indicated that there were illegal aliens living in the shelter. Wearing rouge on his cheeks and a low-cut red shirt, Jacqueline flaunted his large chest. He said that he had gotten transgender hormone treatments, and confirmed that he had received breast implants from the state Medi-Cal program. Though Jacqueline claimed to be a legal resident, he suggested that the state also provides implants to illegal immigrants. "Even though you're undocumented," he said, "you can get them."See the link for video interviews with these Cultural Enrichment Agents.

Here We Go Again: Latest Leftwing Pope Attacks Trump for Sealing the Border, Attacking Islamic Occupation Forces in Iran
As many have pointed out, this brave moral voice kept absolutely stumm when Iran was killing 30-45,000 of its own people. But now he finds his voice.
And weirdly, he speaks with a vague Italian/Spanish accent, despite being an American citizen. Is he one of those weak men who put on the accent of whatever city or country they're currently standing in? Trump sure thinks he's weak:Cynical PubliusThe pope was anti-Trump before becoming pope -- and then covered that up.
@CynicalPublius Well it looks like the Pope’s interference in American politics is still top of the news cycle, so I want to repeat something. The Democrat/Media Complex deliberately set this up so faithful Catholics would be forced to choose: Trump or your faith? That’s a false dichotomy. The Pope is speaking on politics, offering his opinion only and he is not speaking ex cathedra. You are not obligated to agree with the Pope in these matters where he speaks as an ordinary human. If you are a Catholic, you can still support Trump, and disagree with what the Pope is saying about the Iran War and American politics, and still remain true to your Catholic faith. Please do not fall for the either/or con job.

Rapewell Update: His Top Democrat Donor Says He's No Longer a Democrat -- "Finito;" More Details About Rapewell's Jaunt on the Secret Sex Yacht 
Here's video of the Boats and Ho's cruise this allegedly married "Christian" man took. More information about Rapewell's Cooze Cruise:
The billionaire Democrat donor is not only done with Rapewell, but he says he's done with the entire Democrat Party as well, citing "broken trust." He had been allowing Rapewell to live there, given that Rapewell is running in California and is required to be a resident but has no home except for the DC Infidelity Pad he shares with Ruben Gallego. The ex-donor of course booted the couch-surfing farting spy-banging rapist out.
Party affiliation, however, will clearly not be the attribute Cloobeck prioritizes most. "I'm going to change my Godd-- party affiliation, because I cannot stand this Democratic Party at all," he said. "I am done. Finito."
Here's video of the Boats and Ho's cruise this allegedly married "Christian" man took. More information about Rapewell's Cooze Cruise:
Regarding the woman who just accused Rapewell of drugging and raping her at the Montrose Hotel in July, 2018: FEC records confirm that Rapewell's campaign paid $360 for expenses at the Montrose Hotel in July, 2018. You can say that just because she is telling the truth about having been at that hotel on that date with Rapewell doesn't mean she was raped. Well, I'm going to apply the Rapewell standard. Remember, he personally convicted Brett Kavanaugh of rape when the accuser couldn't even remember what year the alleged rape took place in.
Sources tell us that in early September 2022, two of Swalwell's pals jetted by private plane from Las Vegas to the French Riviera town where they chartered the 200-foot Arience yacht and called Swalwell to come join them. We're told the now-former congressman arrived by commercial flight and joined them by tender on the stunning luxury craft. We're told there were some four or five men on the boat, including Swalwell, and a group of beautiful young women. One of the men is believed to be the entrepreneur Nik Richie. According to our source, one of the women, a Brit believed to be in her late teens, appeared to be romantically involved with one of the men in the group. But the five or six other women, a mix of Brits and Americans who were a little older (apparently in their 20s), seemed otherwise unacquainted both with the group and with each other. "The people on the boat were told to keep it hush-hush about Swalwell being on the trip," said a source familiar with the weeklong excursion around the French Riviera. "They were told everything stays on the boat." The former Bay Area representative had been in Congress nine years by the time of the getaway. "It didn't seem like a politician," said a source familiar with the antics aboard. "More like president of a frat house." We're told some of the women seemed to be shipped back to shore, never to return, while others arrived to "replace them."
The billionaire Democrat donor is not only done with Rapewell, but he says he's done with the entire Democrat Party as well, citing "broken trust." He had been allowing Rapewell to live there, given that Rapewell is running in California and is required to be a resident but has no home except for the DC Infidelity Pad he shares with Ruben Gallego. The ex-donor of course booted the couch-surfing farting spy-banging rapist out.
Lefty billionaire Stephen Cloobeck dramatically cut ties with Eric Swalwell and revealed he has kicked him out of his mansion -- hours before the congressman dropped his run for California governor. "I am no longer supporting Eric," Cloobeck told The Post in an exclusive interview. "F--ing tell everyone I'm a libertarian. F-- you, Democrat Party. I'm a libertarian now." The ugly breakup between the timeshare mogul and Bay Area congressman -- who pulled out of the governor's race late Sunday -- marks yet another stunning point in Swalwell's cratering political career. ... Cloobeck spent more than $1 million supporting Swalwell's candidacy, and the embattled congressman filmed a denial video Friday from inside the billionaire's palatial Beverly Hills mansion. ... He added that he would need to talk with his attorney to see if he can claw back the $1 million he gave an independent committee supporting Swalwell.Oh, Rapewell's in debt just as he becomes unemployable? Looks like you're finally going to see that Eric Swalwell Gay Porn you've been dreading these many years. ... Cloobeck had harsh words for fellow billionaire Tom Steyer, saying the progressive hedge funder-turned-environmentalist and candidate for governor -- who has dropped nearly $100 million on the race -- was "spending all this money on bulls--." "I've met most of the players, and I will continue to," Cloobeck said.
Just weeks ago, Cloobeck called Swalwell his "little brother" in an interview with Politico, and he scoffed in a previous interview with The Post when asked about rumors that Swalwell may have acted inappropriately with female staff and interns. Cloobeck, who said he has been a Democrat for "almost 40-year plus," is now unsure where the allegations will ultimately lead, but he said the controversy was enough to make him walk away. "I don't know where these facts are going to end up -- you hear or read all this stuff," he said. ... On top of letting the deeply-in-debt congressman frequently stay at his 9,700-square-foot mansion, Cloobeck gave the maximum $39,200 to Swalwell's campaign and gifted the congressman a $31,000 trip to France in 2024.
Party affiliation, however, will clearly not be the attribute Cloobeck prioritizes most. "I'm going to change my Godd-- party affiliation, because I cannot stand this Democratic Party at all," he said. "I am done. Finito."
