Liz Cheney, the super-duper hardcore conservative, is now also campaigning for Democrat Congressmen.

But this is all about Trump. That's the cover story, right?

Now her political devolution is complete - Liz Cheney is campaigning for Democratic Congressional candidates.

[The Hill:]
Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) is taking her anti-Trump crusade to the congressional battlefield, endorsing Democrats in a pair of contested House races in a sign that she sees the lower chamber as a potential check on former President Trump if he wins a second term in the White House.
On Tuesday, Cheney endorsed John Avlon, a former CNN commentator who's challenging GOP Rep. Nick LaLota (R-N.Y.) on Long Island. And on Wednesday, she threw her weight behind Rep. Susan Wild, a four-term Democrat who's in a tight race for reelection in Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley. More endorsements may be forthcoming.
That's a lot of effort to go through just to "get Trump," so there must be something more at work here. It's not the first time, after all, that Cheney has done this.

Cheney has already jumped into the presidential race, announcing in September that she will vote for Vice President Harris in a bid to keep Trump from a second term. And her foray into House contests has precedent: In late 2022, Cheney endorsed a pair of House Democrats with national security backgrounds, Reps. Elissa Slotkin (Mich.) and Abigail Spanberger (Va.), both of whom won tight reelection races that year.

University professor: Buildings are racist.

Buildings can be racist, concludes CU Boulder prof
The professor alleged that certain classroom settings were 'made mainstream by Western colonization, which eliminated enslaved or otherwise colonized Indigenous communities.'
He also claimed that the existence of certain ethnic communities in the U.S. is proof of racism since '[m]any people feel more comfortable living with others who look like them, because outside that community, they tend to face discrimination.'

A University of Colorado (CU) Boulder professor is arguing that buildings can be racist.
A CU Boulder Today article titled "Can buildings be racist? A CU Boulder architect explores" was published on Wednesday, featuring an interview with Shawhin Roudbari, a CU Boulder professor of Environmental Design.
When asked: "Can buildings and spaces actually be racist?" Roudbari answered that "architectural design often reflects social hierarchies, and those hierarchies are frequently tied to the history of Western colonization and racism."
Roudbari went on to allege that classroom settings "like the auditorium-style lecture hall where students surround a professor" were "made mainstream by Western colonization, which eliminated enslaved or otherwise colonized Indigenous communities as part of attempts to extract wealth or advance supremacist projects like Manifest Destiny."
The CU Boulder professor claimed that alternative "non-Western" teaching methods promote more "communal" learning in which "people sit around in a circle and share their expertise."

Tren de Aragua is only taking over a handful of New York City neighborhoods. No big deal!

A 15-year-old Venezuelan migrant busted at least 10 times in the last few months -- and believed to be part of a violent crew of young gang members -- was arrested again this week for a knifepoint robbery, sources said Wednesday.
And this time he's finally getting locked up.
The teen terror, who had been sprung without bail after each of his previous arrests, sobbed as the judge remanded him during his arraignment in Manhattan Family Court Wednesday on yet another first-degree robbery charge.
"The court finds that remand is appropriate and at this time there are no alternatives, and that a return to home at this time would be inappropriate," Judge Betsey Jean-Jacques said.
The troublesome teen -- identified by sources as a member of "Los Diablos de la 42," a pint-size offshoot of the vicious Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua -- had been cuffed in the latest bust on Tuesday, just as The Post was revealing the baby-faced bandit's shocking exploits.
He's accused of pulling a knife on a 34-year-old man at Ninth Avenue and West 35th Street around 7 p.m. Sept. 30, along with a pal, according to the sources.
The teen and his buddy allegedly body-slammed the victim into a pole, flashed a kitchen knife and demanded that he turn over his phone, the sources said.
The man was able to get away unscathed.
Video from the scene helped cops identify the alleged mugger, and they busted him at 59th Street and Columbus Avenue, according to the sources.
The "Little Devil" was arraigned on the new charge late Wednesday afternoon -- with sources anticipating he would be freed with a slap on the wrist again because of his age and the state's lenient juvenile crime laws, as he had following his other slew of arrests.
But the judge's decision in the lastest case doesn't change the fact that the system remains broken, according to law enforcement sources.
"This has to be a wake-up call to the stakeholders," one source said Wednesday. "To the state legislature who has to decide how we're going to deal with this problem.
"This kid's gonna go home today and probably rob somebody else," the source said. "We can arrest him but we can't hold him."
...
Since May this year, he has made his presence known in the Big Apple, with at least 10 prior arrests for robbery and grand larceny, sources said.
He was released each time, which means he's been free to return to the city-funded migrant shelters where he has been shacking up -- until now.
"So, 10 is the number? Ten arrests for the government to finally give in and say maybe there's a problem here?" one cop griped. "Or are they doing it because public opinion is forcing them?
"Either way the damage is done. People have been victimized and a child slipped further and further into a criminal enterprise," the cop said. "This is not criminal justice reform. This is perverse."

"Hardscrabble upbringing", "resolute," "suffer[ed]" as a child

The elimination of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar is good news for all those who stand against terrorism.

Sinwar was a malicious and sadistic man whose life was devoted to maximizing the suffering of innocent civilians, and he was responsible for the genocidal attacks of October 7th. Today brings some justice for countless victims and their loved ones.

Hamas should immediately release the hostages, lay down its arms, and unconditionally surrender.

The European Union is threatening to fine X based on not only the revenues of X, but also trying to include SpaceX and Elon's other companies.

It is blatantly illegal and has no basis in law. The EU is conducting lawfare against Elon Musk in an effort to force him to comply with their censorship demands.

If Trump wins the election, he will be able to slap the Europeans around and get them to back off on their illegal pressure tactics against Elon and X.

61 Christopher Landau @ChrisLandauUSA 10h Replying to @elonmusk
As the former US Ambassador to Mexico, I can confirm this. On Day One, the Biden/Harris Administration issued a raft of regulatory policy changes that drastically increased the incentives for illegal migration. The law did not require them to do this—in fact, the law did not allow them to do this. For them now to defend their willful actions by saying “the law is broken” is Orwellian. THEY BROKE IT! The “border bill” they love to talk about would have watered down the law by normalizing their defiance of it. Yes, the bill also included some more resources/money for border control—but those resources are needed only because they unleashed this migrant tsunami in the first place. The border catastrophe is not fundamentally a problem of resources but of Biden/Harris executive policy. They should at least have the decency to acknowledge and defend their policy instead of trying to pretend that they were “tough” on the border, which is obviously untrue. Problem for them is that the only conceivable “defense” of allowing in millions of illegal aliens is a deliberate attempt to import what they view as future voters.

Ruben Gallego, Colin Allred, and 18 Dems running for reelection in swing districts signed a letter claiming that the military providing "gender-affirming care" is essential for recruitment.🤔

I'd argue that insanity like this is one of the underlying reasons the military has a recruitment crisis in the first place.

On the campaign trail, former President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed that violent crime has "skyrocketed" since 2020. Vice President Kamala Harris has claimed that violent crime has declined to a "near 50-year low."

Both candidates are citing different federal statistics that measure violent crime; Trump cites a Justice Department survey, while Harris cites FBI data on crimes reported by police departments.

Crime researchers tell CBS News that while both are valuable metrics, the FBI data Harris cites is more reliable, and she is correct that it suggests violent crime is at a near 50-year low. However, both Trump and Harris overlook the significant impact of COVID-19 when comparing current crime rates to 2020, researchers say.

Cheney, Kinzinger and many more are being purged from the Republican Party as more America First types take over and they are the enemy of the permanent government. Eisenhower warned about what he called the military industrial complex. Kennedy was hated by the CIA and maybe killed for opposing Vietnam.

Posted by: Caesar North

Not really sure about that. From what I understand, the dynamics of the male gay sex market are pretty tough requiring being fit, able to handle all sorts of party drugs, etc.

Maybe a Narcissist paradox in they are in love with themselves and they seek their own reflection to have sex with.

141 add cbs:

On the campaign trail, former President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed that violent crime has "skyrocketed" since 2020. Vice President Kamala Harris has claimed that violent crime has declined to a "near 50-year low."

Both candidates are citing different federal statistics that measure violent crime; Trump cites a Justice Department survey, while Harris cites FBI data on crimes reported by police departments.

Crime researchers tell CBS News that while both are valuable metrics, the FBI data Harris cites is more reliable, and she is correct that it suggests violent crime is at a near 50-year low. However, both Trump and Harris overlook the significant impact of COVID-19 when comparing current crime rates to 2020, researchers say.
_________________

Would this be a bad time to point out that many urban police departments (e.g., Chicago) do not report their crime stats to the FBI?

Maybe, just maybe, that is why reports of violent crime are at a 50-year low. Do ya think?

And that in these same areas, lefty politicians had simply either ignored or decriminalized a lot of what would have previously been serious felony activity. See San Francisco.

212 The CU Boulder professor claimed that alternative "non-Western" teaching methods promote more "communal" learning in which "people sit around in a circle and share their expertise."

I bet that if you suggested that he immediately cease his lecture - no doubt delivered in on of those amphitheaters - and let everyone sit on a circle to share their expertise, he would be terribly offended.

215 IDF sez the man later identified as Sinwar threw a grenade at them, so... odd way of hoping to be spared.

Before Sinwar was finally killed (and before the IDF knew who he was), the IDF took appx six different, separate shots at him-- using everything but a crossbow.

251 I use neither Edge nor I-I so what does this suggest I do?
Posted by: SFGoth

If you use microsoft windows 10 or 11, parts of internet explorer are hard coded into the OS (also true of older Windows 8, 7, etc. Some Windows based programs also apparently rely on this code. Edge itself has the code in it and you get Edge if you have Microsoft 10 or 11.

The exploit relies on simply going to an infected website and is what is called an injector attack. Probably turning off javascript might help but that breaks a lot of websites. Norks compromised a SKorean computer ad agency and put their injection attack malware that focused on underlying Internet Explorer code.

An older exploit figured out a way to resurrect IE for malware purposes without the operator knowing about it.

PC Mag relayed a story from Bleeping Computers which is all about malware and software problems on computers. Pixy refers to Bleeping Computers a lot in his nightly tech post.
