Quick Hittites
Just checking to see if you're reading or just word-picture glancing.
Early Quick Hits, just because this is the only thing I have ready and would like to turn the page on the Trump/DeSantis feuding.George Deek
@GeorgeDeek
How the Arab world talks about the Holocaust: the Holocaust never happened, and the Jews deserved it. Hitler was a hero, and the Jews are the real Hitler. How many in the West are talking about Oct7: 7/10 never really happened, and the Jews deserved it. Hamas are the heroes, and the Jews are the real terrorists.
Christina ButtonsFrom John Sexton: Elon Musk hosted an "X Spaces" dialogue with Bill Ackman (the megadonor fighting Harvard) and Dean Philips (the Democrat fighting a lonely campaign against Biden to be the nominee). His thoughts on immigration are interesting. After having established his own pro-immigrant credentials (he is one), he then offered:
@buttonslives
Dear Democrats, you can't bully me into voting for Biden again. I was promised he would be a moderate candidate, but that turned out to be a lie. I won't vote unless there's a candidate I actually like. The narrative that "not voting for Biden is a vote for Trump" isn't going to work anymore; you've cried wolf too many times. The world didn't end when Trump was president the first time, and it's not going to end if he's elected again. So just stop with the hysterics and produce a worthwhile candidate. Thank you,

"[We"e cannot have, not merely an open border but a border where the federal government is facilitating the transfers of vast numbers of people into the country. Even when, say, Texas tries to take action to enforce the law the federal government is trying to stop them from doing so. There's literally a federal lawsuit to stop Texas from actually enforcing the illegal immigration laws. "It's important to bear in mind the United States is only 4 to 5 percent of the world population so it's very easy for the United States to get swamped by illegal immigration, just absolutely swamped. If you're somewhere else and you say there's going to get free money and housing and medical care to illegal immigrants and that exceeds the standard of living in half the world then why doesn't half the world just move here?More at the link, including an edited audio recap of the discussion. Relatedly, Greg Abbott says he will not stop busing illegals to sanctuary cities until Biden closes the border.
"As Bill [Ackman] said a moment ago, incentives drive behavior, obviously. It would be strange if they didn't. And so what we're seeing is that word is getting out. It's going viral basically. Illegal immigration through the southern border is going viral. This is not a Mexico thing. Almost none of the people coming across are Mexican." After a brief interruption by the host, Musk continued, "Just look at the graphs of the rate of growth of illegal immigration. It is going exponential. To use a rocketship analogy, it is a rocketship of growth of illegal immigration. Because of social media, everyone on earth knows this. It is now an industry."
See new postsTo which Elon Musk responded:
Conversation
Greg Abbott
@GregAbbott_TX Jan 9 Texas has transported over 100,000 migrants to sanctuary cities to relieve overwhelmed border towns. Until Biden reverses course on his open border policies, Texas will continue transporting migrants to these cities. We will not back down on our efforts to secure the border.
Speaking of Bill Ackman: He says he's about to launch a major lawsuit against Business Insider for running that defamatory hit-piece against his wife. Hot Air says that the suit will probably not prevail, given that the wife did some of the things alleged, like... not citing Wikipedia. I mean, that's a bullshit charge, but it's not factually false to say she didn't cite Wikipedia. And I don't think the suit will function well even as a nuisance suit -- based on my own experiences with leftwing corrupt Regime judges, they will bend over backwards to claim that every defamatory falsehood uttered by a leftwinger is mere "opinion" and "fair comment," while twisting the law to permit conservative to be sued for quoting the very man they allegedly "defamed." One possible upside -- if the leftwing judge doesn't throw the case out immediately -- is finding out who fed Business Insider this hit piece. (Business Insider isn't the kind of "journalistic" operation that does its own homework. They are just a clearinghouse for hit pieces written by their allies on the left. It's basically an AI version of Vice Story Pitches.) I've heard others speculate (was it Megyn Kelly?) that it was probably MIT itself that leaked the hit piece material on its former professor. It would be illuminating to see how this disgusting game is played by the self-declared Thought Leaders.

People really don't even know even half of what The Junta is doing.
They have set up Migrant Assistance Offices in many SA countries whereby people show up, claim asylum, get their paperwork set up, get a plane ticket and are simply being transported directly into the US.
It's monstrous and insane but that's what we are dealing with here.
To say we are getting swamped is an understatement.

It's just like the famous Billy Bush conversation came from an insider at NBC - probably at the highest levels. I have my theory on that one, but I'll keep that to myself.

The same thing applies this cycle. Apart from Vivek the other runners didn't see what is Trump's drawcard. It's there in the polls yet his rivals skirt around the major issues of illegal immigration, poor economy, lawlessness. Is it so hard to state clearly you will close the border, stop all immigration for a decade or more, repatriate businesses, jail lawbreakers?

they are both mentioned in the Bible, the Assyrians for example sacked Gath. However the Hittites for the most part predated the Israelites, they were a Bronze age empire, and at the end after the battle of Kadesh that seems to have signaled the decline and eventual collapse of the Hittite empire, the Israelites were more Egypt focused.
The collapse of the Hittite empire and the subsequent rise of the Greek et al states seem to have triggered the "people of the sea" invasions of the eastern Med, down to Egypt.
personally I think the Hittites were the main portal for Tin coming from India and the collapse of that trade for whichever reason was the cause of the collapse of the fairly intricate and centralized Bronze age states. (No expert appears to agree with me, and they would know since they are the experts and I am a guy who read a couple of books. )

Senator Bernie Sanders didn't know the difference between equity & equality.
When he was told the difference (equal opportunity vs outcomes), he instantly rejected equity (outcomes).
The most prominent socialist in the US believes equity is too radical.
The E in DEI stands for equity and it is the central goal of the Biden administration.
Scott Adams @ScottAdamsSays 39m
I didn't believe this was true -- that Democrats in Congress don't know what their main policy position (equity) even means.
As in LITERALLY don't know what the word means in context. I am not exaggerating.
And none of them seem to know what DEI is in practice.
@BillAckman has some work to do.

I believe @deanbphillips didn’t understand what DEI was when that was made part of his website. I made the same mistake.
He is getting educated as we speak. Let’s listen to what he has to say after he gets educated.
That’s the danger of the DEI movement. It comes inside a Trojan horse of constructed of beneficent sounding words.
Dr Jordan B Peterson @jordanbpeterson 19h
Bill @billackman: I have spoken to many @TheDemocrats Senators and Congressmen: centrists all.
To a man, they claim "equity" means equality of opportunity, which it does not, and are denial about the danger posed by the radical left.
It's a blindness so stunning you can't believe it until you see and hear it.

Afghanistan was more of a region and not a country during the bronze age. But feel free to be as picky as you want.
Not if you come in to the south of the Caspian and through Armenia which is pretty much the home-land of the people who emigrated to Asia Minor.
Anyhow, Tin stopped coming and the centralized empires that used it as a basis for their cohesion were no longer sticking together well. No one can say if it was a cause or a result. I suspect it was a cause and the extended drought and loss of prestige in the wake of the loss of the battle of Kadesh was merely a contributor.

After dozens of Houthi terror attacks, the Biden admin will re-sanction the group - but won't put them on the FTO list.
Which means:
1. Houthis can still get US visas;
2. Not a criminal penalty to support them;
3. US banks don't have to seize their funds.

The first of the links i posted above goes into the history of the rediscovery from the beginning.
The archaeological evidence was thousands of cuneiform tablets littering the ruins of Hattusa. IIRC, Hattusa was rediscovered in the mid 1800s and serious excavations began in the early 1900s.

After dozens of Houthi terror attacks, the Biden admin will re-sanction the group - but won't put them on the FTO list.
One of the first things Biden did after taking office was taking the Houthis off the terror list after Trump had put them on it.

"The Biden administration was expected to announce plans to relist Houthi rebels as specially designated global terrorists, a US official told Reuters."

And Iran seemed fit to lob some missiles into Syria and Afghanistan where the US has some bases.
And is giving the Houthi terrorists missiles, drones and rockets to bombard Israel, commercial shipping and the US Navy.

JUST IN - Pakistan says Iran strikes killed "two innocent children" and calls attack an "unprovoked violation" by Tehran — AP
ISLAMABAD (AP) — Iran launched attacks Tuesday in Pakistan targeting what it described as bases for the militant group Jaish al-Adl, potentially further raising tensions in a Middle East already roiled by Israel's war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Pakistan said the strikes killed two children and wounded three others in an assault it described as an “unprovoked violation” of its airspace.
Confusion followed the announcement from Iran as state media reports on it soon disappeared. However, the attack inside of nuclear-armed Pakistan by Iran threatens the relations between the two countries, which long have eyed each other with suspicion while maintaining diplomatic relations.
The attack also follows Iranian strikes on Iraq and Syria [see next: versus U.S. and Israel] less than a day earlier, as Tehran lashes out following a dual suicide bombing this month claimed by the Sunni militant group Islamic State that killed over 90 people.

Ryan, Pence, and Priebus all decided it was more important to fuck trump in the ass than to actually accomplish all of the conservative things they had campaigned on for the past 30 years.
Why did Trump "lose" 2018? Because the GOP tanked the election of any Trump endorsed candidate.
Why did Trump "lose" 2020? Because the GOP allowed and probably assisted the fraud.
The GOP is the problem, yet Ace is falling right back into the trap that they are the good guys who will be just great if only we vote the right way.

****
There's an eminent domain case where the government only restricted the use of the land and because it didn't substantively change the existing use of the land the landowner couldn't develop his land or exercise a takings clause remedy.
So buy a frog pond, you just might end up with just that.

I think Ackman picked Emo Phillips because Ackman thinks a fellow Jew is more likely to fight Anti-Semitism (actually rabid Jew Hatred) in Universities.
He doesn't really understand today's Minnesota Jews. The Jews in Saint Louis Park MN are huge supporters of Ilhan Omar. They not only vote for, they donate and campaign for Ilhan Omar.
Omar won her district general election 75-25 last time. She almost lost the primary election to an old line Black Pro-Police Democrat, Don Samuels. She won that by two points, 50-48.
My feeling is Phillips will be a JINO.

It is, essentially, waving some guaranteed (and consistent) income in front of the owners of hotels/ motels and depending on them to agree. I'm sure they get pressured in various ways to cooperate, BUT they cannot be forced to comply. It's a simple as saying no.
Posted by: Orson at January 16, 2024 06:27 PM (dIske)
Imminent domain? Find a property owned by the Catholic Church and they'll scoop it up. (Green buffer zones for the very well heeled.)
Kids in motels and hotels going to our local schools? Hell, there are counties - I live in one - that go out of their way to invite the "unhoused" from Philly AND immigrant resettlement programs of all kinds. Our kids, excluding the elite, grow dumber by the day but do learn about equity*. (Most don't have it & it ain't coming their direction the way things are going.) We also rank stellar on illegal drug use but can almost float in Narcan.
NACE: *The term “equity” refers to fairness and justice and is distinguished from equality: Whereas equality means providing the same to all, equity means recognizing that we do not all start from the same place and must acknowledge and make adjustments to imbalances.
