Monday Overnight Open Thread (2/5/24)
Quote I “With the prison ecosystem feeling the effects of society’s inflation,” he writes, “the poor get poorer and then the poor get desperate.” Shakeil Price, an incarcerated man in New Jersey state
Jeepers, I wonder what that inflation is for people on the outside. Can't do the time? Don't do the crime.
Quote II “The U.S. State Department role in all of this has been a colossal embarrassment and this promotion is just another slap in the face to the veteran population.Instead of being held to account and relieved her duties [Jacobson] was promoted.”> Retired U.S. Army Lt. Colonel Scott Mann
Earlier today Ace covered the lousy Immigration Reform Bill and some Indian broad. Mark Dice takes a look at these as well.
Record Number of Migrants Fail To Appear for Court Dates, Justice Department Says
Immigration judges are facing a daunting backlog of cases, especially since crossings have surged in recent years. The number of migrants who have been ordered to leave the country surged to new highs last year, and more than 150,000 of them awaiting asylum court hearings failed to appear before immigration judges. If migrants fail to appear for their hearing, immigration judges — who have been overwhelmed with cases in recent years — then the jurist can issue what is known as an “in absentia removal order,” which is supposed to lead to the migrant’s deportation.
I have your border safety/ immigration control right here. Deport every student, visitor, worker who has let their visa expire. Shut the border down, shoot to kill everyone who attempts to enter illegally. That will get their attention and dissuade many from trying to enter. Let people file for immigration from their own country. The USA is so far in debt, we can't afford to take on the world's unskilled and unvetted refugees.
The problem with Colorado Democrat State Rep. Stephanie Vigil along with Colorado State Senators Faith Winter and Janice Marchman? They think with their estrogen and are totally unserious about their jobs.
Colorado Bill Requires Schools to Use a Student’s ‘Preferred Name,’ Deems Refusals ‘a Form of Discrimination’ bill recently introduced in the Colorado General Assembly would allow students to change their names at school without parental knowledge or consent, and punish school officials who refuse to play along. Democrat State Rep. Stephanie Vigil and State Senators Faith Winter and Janice Marchman introduced HB24-1039 on January 10, 2024. The bill requires public schools and charter schools to use a student’s preferred name and “deems a school’s refusal to use a student’s preferred name a form of discrimination.” Vigil, who identifies as “nonbinary,” will reportedly present the bill to the Education Committee on February 15.But teacher, I want you to call me............. Non-binary? Oh FFS seek some serious couch time at the nearest shrink's office. And I'll save you the search. She's about as attractive as a hemorrhoid.
I believe the following individuals would have no problems with a lengthy MRI. Me on the other hand? I have no desire to sink to those depths.
CAVE OF DEATH World’s deepest cave with 7,000,ft tunnels 7x the size of The Shard where explorers have died trying to reach the bottom

Since when did the LAPD get pro-active with misdemeanor charges?
Killer Mike arrested on battery charge.
Well, more information is out about the stunning footage of Killer Mike being taken away after the LAPD released a statement late Sunday night. The police announced the rap legend "was placed under arrest and was transported to LAPD Central Division" on a misdemeanor battery charge in connection with an alleged altercation shortly prior to the awards ceremony officially starting.
A former Donald Trump administration official has been killed after a carjacking in Washington, D.C., authorities said.I am happy there is no such thing as hate crimes when it is black on white violence.
Teacher 'locks boy, 11, in class and strokes his privates as he fondles her boobs'And she should get another 25 years in prison for the bad ink jobs on her thighs.
A teacher could face up to 20 years behind bars after she was accused of sexually assaulting an 11-year-old schoolboy, including 'stroking his private parts and let him touch her breasts'
It would have been easy to overlook this mistake. But it wasn't. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.
Customer Sends Letter And Cash To Restaurant After Realizing His Mistake Today's good news story comes from Lenoir, North Carolina. In a heartwarming display of honesty and kindness, a customer at Side Street Pour House and Grill in Lenoir went above and beyond to rectify a simple mistake, turning an ordinary lunch outing into a remarkable story of goodwill.

As violent crime continues to rise in Washington, D.C., former President Trump, Republicans in Congress, and their allies are using the capital to portray the entire Democratic Party as soft on crime ahead of the November election.

It's perfectly OK for American journalists to interview Osama bin Laden after 9/11 and to interview Ayatollah Khomeini during the hostage crisis, of course.
It's also OK for the New York Times to provide editorial space to senior officials in the Taliban and Hamas.
Bill Kristol has already suggested that Carlson be banned from returning to the United States, so I guess Tucker will have enter the United States through Mexico, like everyone else.

They are better at messaging than we are. The right wing has been very effective about smearing our candidates -- from swiftboating John Kerry to the decades long campaign against Hilary Clinton to the notion that Biden is too old.
Polls have Kennedy, Stein and West taking points away from Biden. State polls have larger numbers of people voting
“Other”.
most folks have no idea what kind of job Biden is doing. All they know is the price of eggs is too high.
They own all the media from social media to the local rags in towns of 1000. And they all toot the same message: economy bad, Biden sucks, we don't want Harris because she is black or Asian or a woman.
the constant reinforcement of the same message from coast to coast on social media, radio, TV, newspapers and magazines. pretty hard to fight against the constant, constant propaganda.

Mitsubishi's cachet never rose to the heights of Toyota or Honda, as their marketing via MOPAR dealerships didn't help the imports' reputation.
And the MOPAR service network was ill-equipped to know their way around the Japanese product. Mitsubishi remains a 2nd tier, "alternate" option to the pricier, premium Japanese brands.
Of course, Chrysler *did* capture U.S. rights to the Mitsubishi patent for the 4 cylinder, counter-rotating engine balancer shaft.
Fast forward a few decades, and Mercedez-Bens would suffer from the MOPAR taint, as well. But, M-B did come away with the rights to use the Jeep 4x4 patents, which remain some of the best AWD tech to be found.
Back to Mitsu. I do notice, damn few really OLD Mitsubishis on the roads. Quality or Engineering issues? I do not know. Am am not going to chase down the forums, to find out.

Dodge sold it too, under a different badge and paint job. I forget the model name, but a friend had one with the bright yellow paint job, with black accents up the hood and over the cab, along with decent looking steel wheels and fatter tires.
The Mitsubishi Montero was a contender in class, right between a Toyota 4-Runner and a Land Cruiser. Bit bigger than the 4-Runner, not as luxurious as the LC.
A Montero was a true, off road goat, and probably the most durable of all of the Mitsubishi lineup towards the end of the 20th century.

A few years ago we were shopping for a new SUV for the wife and we test drove a smallish Mitsubishi, I don't remember the model name. It wasn't bad, but the sales crew at the dealership were utterly clueless, so we looked elsewhere. We liked it well enough that we might have bought it if the people we encountered at the dealership weren't such dolts. Wound up buying a Honda CR-V.

It was to have been the first "toe in the water" for Mitsubishi to roll out a Lexus/Infiniti grade, premium line of cars.
I'm 5'10", and in the '90s, was as trim and fit as could be.
I didn't fit in the back seat, 'cause the back of my head was right up against the rear window. Ow!
Car was good looking enough, and seemed to be nicely appointed. I can imagine that there are NO parts to be had for one, now!

Today I took out the sheet of 3/8" plywood that I had screwed down on top of the rubber mat to make loading stuff easier. Pressure washed at the local car wash. Came back, took out the mat, and the oil-soaked underlay padding (straight into the trash), and sopped up oil and mud and water trapped under it. Got most of it, for sure. I think I will have to replace the plywood; doubt it will take paint, and both sides are oil stained.

Had 2 early 90's Monteros. Loved them. Comes in a close second to the Outback as a snow rig. A bit top heavy and stiff in the handeling department. Had an encounter with 2 moose on the highway one night. As hard as I was swerving that rig should have rolled but didn't. Missed the first moose and would have missed the second if she didn't turn back into me. Took out a fender, windshield post and a mirror. I was fortunate. Hour later that same moose went through the windshield of a nice Cadillac. Only place there wasn't moose was the drivers seat. Very large black gentleman from Louisiana came away unscathed.

In my YUTE, I want to live in London and then Paris. I had all the right degrees they should’ve wanted me. They didn’t give a damn crap about me, if I were from a former colony for sure, I could move there, but as an American, no chance. Try right now today as an American to show up in England or France or Spain or Italy and see if they give you a green card to work. It is crazy that Americans except us, they don’t realize no other country that controls itself accepts this.
I think a lot of Americans think they can just move to foreign countries and they cannot. Sure maybe if you’re rich and you’re going to buy property and employ locals, but if you think any legit country is going to take on an American based on a college degree or some other wonderful attribute, you are wrong.

Maybe I am all wet but I think Americans for some reason think it is normal to show up at a border and be admitted and get a work visa. if if that were true, I would’ve lived in London and Paris, because that was my dream at that time. I had the college degree and I went over there and tried to make it work. I don’t deny many Americans live in Europe and work, but they have very specialized skills the Europeans need they only accept you if you help them not the other way around.
This freefall is crazy. Mexico doesn’t do it. Honduras doesn’t do it. But Americans think it’s normal. If someone shows up they want to live there they can just do it no other country that controls its borders does this. I don’t understand why the Republicans can’t make that obvious point. Again try to move to Italy say I’m an American. I wanna move to Italy. I’m smart and see where that gets you.

That relationship started when Ford bought Mazda B-1800s in the '70s, and sold them as a Ford Ranger. (before that, the "Ranger" was a trim level of the F-100)
And, this relationship FLIPPED in about 1990, when Ford began to produce a DOMESTIC Ford Ranger, and then Mazda bought those rebadged as the Mazda B-2000 (4 cyl) and B-3000 (V-6).
That same Ford Ranger provided the chassis, cowl, windshield/firewall and engine bay, of the 1st gen. Ford Exploder (of Firestone Tire infamy).
And, I remember those Quest "Villagers". Remember the Merkur Xt4? Yeah. Mercury Division was always desperate to find something, ANYthing, to sell to separate themselves from Ford/Lincoln.
Because the Gran Marquis came off the SAME line as the Crown Vic, as the Mercury Sable came off the SAME line, and the venerable Taurus.

Maybe there are some hope and Hungary and I hope Italy. But there is no room for us. Be sure about that even the hard-core conservatives would never say that and I mean their conservatives.

We ought to reconsider the anchor baby policy, too
Some countries, like China, may be sending illegals here just to have babies, whi are automatically US citizens. Then they grow up and meet the criteria for highly sensitive jobs In defense, in the Intel agencies. But they may not be loyal to the US.

Switzerland has got to be the most restrictive of all Europe though - even assuming you make the cut and are allowed to live there (which, for most of us, would not be the case), you are not allowed to buy and own real estate. Even renting requires you to get a life-long Swiss national to sponsor you, and the Gnomes in Zurich will still put you under a microscope and many are rejected.
Swiss Citizenship is not even a solution, and the prospect of a non-Swiss even obtaining that is remote. From what I've been given to understand, not even having relatives in Thurgau would be any help. (And they've been there going back to the Alemanni invasions!) A lot of the Brit tax exiles who ended up there ran into this, and only those with some fame and fortune were able to thread the needle.

I used to go caving in college. Thing I remember is, when crawling through a tight squeeze and looking up and seeing nothing but rock, I would think 'If the world has a mere hiccup, I'm dead'. I can understand your caving trepidation.

Heh, I was just doing a Wi-Fi channel scan. Houses here are too far apart for there to be any problem with that (I can run 40MHz channels on the 2.4Ghz band, and 160Mhz channels on the 5GHz band without worry.
But occasionally, when conditions are just right, I can see some of my neighbor's WiFi. One joker around here has named his network "CIASurveillanceVan420"

Costa Ricans tend to look down on Nicaraguans. Most Costa Ricans (Ticos) are full-blooded Spanish, and not at all Indio; whereas the country folk of Nicaragua are mostly at least part Indio. And they speak a different flavor of Spanish. And the two countries have a long-simmering border dispute over the Rio San Juan, too.

There is a racial hierarchy, all over Latin America from Mexico to Argentina, in my understanding the rest of Latin America hates Argentina because they think Argentina think they are superior.
I say aside from all of that there is a reason these people in central America. Don’t try to go to Costa Rica, the reason is they are not welcome and they know they will not get the insane benefits we shower them with for no reason whatsoever. I don’t know enough about Costa Rica to speak for it but I think it is a stable country in a very unstable region but there is a reason immigrants don’t go there en masse. They come here and we are too dumb to think that is unusual. Or do anything about it.

I looked back at some of the places in Europe I used to travel to, and it saddens me that I don’t even want to go back because of what I’ve seen how they have become. The issue is the same can be said for our own country but you have to live somewhere and this is my home and always will be, but it has changed.

Pretty sure some Nicaraguans work in Costa Rica as "guest workers", but they enter legally, jumping the border is not recommended. I went to Nicaragua several times in recent years, and like it a lot. They have their problems, but the people are very friendly, and they are entrepreneurial. You can even own a gun there. And foreigners can buy and own property.

Well, according to the Daily Mail, Joey Dementia ShitPants has confused Frog Prez Macron with Mitterand, who is dead, Jim. Been dead since '96.

Biden was rambling, and said that in 2021 he said to "Mitterand from Germany, no France" that "America is back":

C'mon. Dementia Joe is a special president: He sees dead people. Or maybe they're ghosts haunting his worthless ass. I'd like to think that.

AEP's gone to bed, but as for this:
Well, those other countries have a much more sensible immigration that do the USA or Canada. "Look at all the foreign-educated doctors and engineers we are getting!" And I say, "yannow, maybe those folks should stay in bumfuckistan, and help to raise Bumfuckistan up out out of its medieval squalor."

I've been saying this. Some illegal alien (Mexican) doctor who scammed an entire fucking M.D. off Americans says "she wants to give back." That's why she doesn't want to be deported. She wants a chance "to give back" to America.
You want to GIVE back? Then GO back to your country and make it less shitty so your compatriots don't need to come up here to get basic medical care. You're bilingual, you have a precious American education, you would be an invaluable asset to YOUR country. What, you don't want to go back to your country? What are you, racist?
I'm obviously ranting...

I'm thinking this war will go on even after the last of us is a memory. Let it be so, I wore the uniform with pride and feel that same pride watching these young wear theirs. Nothing can take that pride in the uniform or my blessed country. To repeat the experience would be a huge honor.
