Whoa: The Nation's Paper of Gonzo Maoism theWashington Post Is Not Endorsing Kamala Harris
WOW
— John Hasson (@SonofHas) October 22, 2024
The LA Times just refused to endorse Kamala for President
For context: LA Times endorsed Kamala for
Attorney General in 2014
Senate in 2016
Biden-Harris in 2020 pic.twitter.com/6XKmGr33T5
Washington Post staffers are growing restless over the left-leaning paper's silence on endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for president -- with many suspecting that owner Jeff Bezos is behind the delay, according to a report. Some insiders speculate the billionaire Amazon founder, who has not spoken publicly about the 2024 election, does not want to alienate Republican challenger Donald Trump as he gains momentum to recapture the White House next month, the Status newsletter reported Tuesday. The newspaper's editorial board is believed to have written its backing for the Democrat but has not gotten the go-ahead to publish it from Bezos and editor-in-chief Will Lewis, wrote former CNN media observer Oliver Darcy, who launched Status after leaving the network in August.LOL, Darcy was fired? Did CNN hire Stelter back so they could unload Darcy? Seems like a lateral move to me! Both are horrible evil censors with gross insecurities.
They also report that Democrat partisan bankster Jamie Dimon privately supports Harris but won't say so publcly because he's afraid of Trump. Good. Be afraid. Biden-Harris have weaponized government against the billionaires supporting Trump. You set the precedent -- yes, we will be taking scalps using the government to destroy our enemies. You started it, and you're next.
The WaPo staffers are perplexed over the Beltway broadsheet remaining mum given that 20 million voters have already sent in their ballots and Election Day is less than two weeks away, he added. The newspaper supported Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020, publishing its endorsements much earlier in past election cycles. The New York Times endorsed Harris on Sept. 30. The Post has sought comment from the Washington Post and Bezos. ...
The paper's silence comes against the backdrop of the drama playing out in the Los Angeles Times newsroom, where the editorial board was blocked from publishing its Harris endorsement by the outlet's billionaire owner, Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong. Soon-Shiong's intervention prompted Mariel Garza, the LA Times' editorials editor, to resign in protest on Wednesday.

And, more than likely, it's like in GA.

If you can make it illegal for a kid to buy a Tylenol, you can take away media companies allowing underage users on their platform.
I'm not advocating a complete ban, but have strict privacy rules (so it destroys ad revenue) and policing. Make them liable.
Just pushing for strict privacy laws kills their golden goose. I doubt Trump does though because someone will whisper in his ear that it could hurt the stock market.

At 15 feet ? No thank you - I'm not shooting at a rigid steel target that close. Not even with a pistol.
That's five yards, my man. The "shot traps" you find at typical indoor ranges are tilted DOWN precisely to divert that round, and that energy, and they are always at least 25 yards - 75 feet - downrange.

That DOESN'T mean the democrat party is finished with their shenanigans, however. I fully expect deterrents and events to occur a voting precincts that will serve to discourage people to show up on the actual election day due to safety concerns. Sort of like those Black Panthers hanging out at the Philly voting location with baseball bats and firearms. Incidentally, those two guys were charged and convicted (having not shown up they were found guilty in forfeit)...but Holder dismissed their cases after they had been convicted.

They planned to defeat Russia without a fight with sanctions. They planned to use Ukraine to defeat Russia with western arms and planning easily. They are planning an easy war with China, and they planned to make Israel have a cease fire with Hamas and Hezbollah after a pro forma combat period like most middle east wars since 1973.
They planned to defeat Trump with Lawfare, and they planned to kill him at least once, and cover up the involvement with a few decoys without being caught. They planned to easily remove Biden and sweep Harris in.
Lets say I have a more skeptical view of the oppo's planning capabilities.

If I were to hazard a guess, 100 years ago they held a lot of weight, especially in primaries. They were organs for a variety of political machines and the sole source of information anyone got on politics other than direct exposure.
But this ain't 100 years ago. 99% of newspapers are organs for one party. There are far more sources of information.

Kentucky state Sen. Johnnie Turner, known for his staunch support for the coal industry and other causes in his Appalachian district, has died after being injured at home last month when he plunged into an empty swimming pool while aboard a lawn mower. He was 76.
Turner, a Harlan Republican, was known for his folksy manner that endeared him to constituents and colleagues alike. Turner died Tuesday evening after his “hard-fought battle” with injuries sustained in the accident, Kentucky Senate President Robert Stivers said in a statement Wednesday.

If the Republicans hold less than 225 in the House, or only 51 or so in the Senate, than the RINOs in both bodies (and particularly Murkowski and Collins in the Senate) will be able to again hamstring anything Trump wants to accomplish. This means that we need to put our heads down, continue to vote and turn others out to vote, and not let up until the leftists, deep state, and RINOs are destroyed, completely removed from all power and influence, and their reputations are publicly shredded. Only then does the United States stand a chance at recovery.

You can shoot metal plates outdoors at 15 ft but you have to use frangible bullets (basically metal powder bullets that disintegrate when hitting a hard target). Plus eye protection.
Gotta watch out for those using semi autos, especially something like an AR, as these bullets can actually break up before in the chamber under the right conditions creating a jam.
There are also some metal 22 LR integrated paper target holder and bullet traps that are safer to shoot at closer range but not 15 feet aka 5 yards.
Safe distance varies by the velocity of the round, the condition of the metal plates (pitting is a no no), and the type of bullet used--frangible, soft lead, hard linotype lead, hollowpoint, and fmj requires the most distance--that can do some strange ricochets at unpredictable angles if it hits a pockmark in a metal plate.

Shooting things like steel plates, you do it at really long distance and make sure the plate is able to swing.

Just like abortion is no longer a federal issue.
Lots of agencies, like Education, need to be disbanded, and the issues sent back to the states, where they belong.

I would argue that education is a local issue for the people actually involved in the system as parents and taxpayers. State involvement from afar is also bad juju for many districts.

Has she, Decrepit Joe, Nanzi, or any Democrat ever said in the past 4 years they hear voters say they are concerned about the future of our country? No, Dem politicians always talk about the future of "Our Precious Democracy." Because how can they consistently tell everyone this is a systemically evil, white-oppression, rayciss, immigrant-h@ting, illegitimately-founded country, then say they want to improve the future of this country as a whole?
I believe this a messaging failure they should hugely-regret, in hindsight. But they won't.
(Also, addressing voters' negative take on the direction of the country would require Dems to change their basic policies across the board. Fat chance they'll do that.)

More than likely it's an uncomfortable marriage of their actual histories as party organs full of untruths with their self-created image of objective reporters that cropped up mid-century.

Back in the day papers were independent of each other and could and did have political slants on the editorial page mostly. You had republican papers and democratic papers and papers for this or that faction.
TV broke that up because there aren't enough channels so the fiction of objectivity was invented. With TV taking over papers started to die and consolidate and this meant papers had no competition and used the same lie to retain credibility.
Internet has resumed competition and the MSM can't handle it.

Trump provided lots of views in 2016 for them but that was a long time ago in internet age. I wouldn't count on the papers and news networks gaining much back. I haven't heard that the ratings have rebounded during the election campaign with the danger of Trump returning.
Even their captive audience might not return to them, but instead pick up new leftist news sources to feed their hate. Look at the anchors on the air, if they arent 60+ they look 60.

You live in a state where people shoot REALLY hard hitting rounds and the 300 WSM is viewed as a pantywaist cartridge.
Also may have to do with changing out the AR500 plates and their thickness. At 300 yards, you can tolerate a lot more pockmarks safely and rocket cartridges have a bit of their edge taken off by distance.
The late Louis Awerbuck was innovating in teaching close combat with shotguns and pistols shooting at various targets including metal and I think he actually wrote about the problem in a book. He mentioned some of his research in his columns for SWAT magazine back in the day.

Yeah ... so, at least by '90, they went automated. Steel targets that popped up and down. And yeah, steel. Painted matte black always. The theory, I guess, was a little better test as well as automated scoring. Hit the target, it swings back down, and the shot is recorded.
In practice, at least back then, sometimes the shots just didn't record even when you hit it - and all the other dumb Army shit. You'd often end up with a "house rule" because they knew this or that target wasn't working right.
As always, I'm always fascinated with the shit that people claim - with complete confidence - that is simply wrong.

I cannot tell you if the targets that idiot Kuce was shooting at were fixed or not and I don't know the pictures were all the clear. Nor is the distance really known, though I think a case can be made they were probably at least 21 feet away.
One can argue about the relative safety of pistol ammo at that range, however, what's indisputable is shooting steel at that distance with a rifle is completely reckless.

Dunno what the military does nowadays as it has been too long out of service. But, we never shot frangibles back in the 90's but the po po did.
Frangible ammo has come a long way nowadays with new polymer target bullets (a revival of the old primer powered rubber bullets) and binding of frangibles (sort of like MIM tech).

Makes sense. Any range I was ever on had the 50 left and 50 right popups. We did get to use tracers on night fires - you could see them deflect up. I always assumed that was the opposite of the "gong" targets - the steel pivots back a little bit, the round gets mostly absorbed and then skims up as a result.
I can not imagine shooting at any steel target 5 yards away. Also don't understand folks - but folks firmly say shit that simply isn't true all the time - talking about "no steel withing 300 yards" stuff. The Army simply did not work that way.

I think it was 50 meters (yards). Of course, they also ran us through the Geneva Convention class where the instructor told us you can't use the .50 cal on people. Then we all got walked outside and told that was bullshit and the NCOs would shoot us themselves if we didn't.

I argued when Congress wouldn't fund the wall Trump should have announced that he's going to start a tax asylum program. Until the wall is fully funded the IRS will stop all tax audits and no one will have to pay a penalty for not paying their taxes on time.
And then wait...
The border wall would have been fully funded within a week.
Note the government doesn't actually need personal income taxes as all. The logic that lets Biden/Harris spend a trillion dollars we don't have to give to illegals says that it doesn't need actual tax money either. But the government cannot give up the power of the audit.

How many early voting locations in your counties? Harris County (Houston) has 88. If your counties have fewer voting locations per 1,000 registered voters lines will be longer, theoretically.
I early voted in Harris Co. yesterday. It was 18 minutes from me getting in line outside to exiting the building after voting.

If I were Trump, I'd order that:
1) EVERY prosecutor, including the U.S. Attorney personally in all 93 districts, will carry a criminal immigration caseload-- including misdemeanors, such as Illegal Reentry After Deportation and Misuse of a Social Security Number.
2) ALL instances of unlawful voting will be prosecuted (it's a misdemeanor too), and the U.S. Attorney will set an example once again by assigning some of these cases to herself.
I could go on and on. Plenty for the Civil Division to do, too.
Posted by: mnw at October 24, 2024 02:18 PM (NLIak)
Fake "asylum" petitioners have their cases dismissed, resulting in indefinite legal limbo (= de facto amnesty, see last 40 years).
First term, workload was so enormous (and lawless vandalism of courts and Congress so bad) that Trump admin barely began to scratch the surface of *serious criminals* needing deportation. Deportation of others (95%) wasn't even a consideration. Now? Absent a serious comprehensive employment-focused campaign, that somehow overcomes sanctuary lawlessness and institutional collapse, meh.

Each of those companies have seen their better days in the past. Simply put, large conglomerates come about because the original core generates such a load of cash that the firm 'invests' into going other markets. That in turn leads to a decline in managerial focus, warring divisions for new investments, etc. at the same time while the returns from the core business begin to slow or even decline.
Amazon's core business was selling stuff which is now facing online competitors like Temu as well as hybrid competition like WalMart dot com, etc. But Amazon made a wise investment into AWS which is now the tail wagging the dog of lagging retail, electronics, video, etc. returns.
Google's core business was AdSense and now has Android licensing returns. Everything else that Google has tried to make a buck from Youtube, tech,Google Voice, their version of Fakebook, etc. has essentially sucked money from those functions and now have probably become a drag on Google earnings. And so on.

The way you freeze the GOPe on Capitol Hill are extensive public investigations of foreign money and influence on Capitol Hill. McConnell ain't liked and no one, even the Dems, would be sorry to see his ass in a federal prison. The very existence of an investigation forces the conspirators, lobbyists, and the foreign powers to go to ground.
Trump's most important pick will be AG and underlings that kick that department into investigation the cozy world of influence buying in DC and that includes executive agencies.

The clean ones are the folks that have their own small donor fundraising machine. Rand Paul inherited his daddy's op. MTG is another that is funded by herself and not the awful leadership and party pacs.
It is a pretty good clue on how to stay out of the swamp--it is to spend the time to schmooze low dollar regular donors and listen to them rather than the party leaders and their associated influence peddling rats at Pacs.

He was a sickly dude even in his twenties - basically had a mild case of polio - yet pulled Elain Chow ? She wasn't just wealthy from a wealthy family.

Bezos makes his money now from AWS which is a federal contractor. A switch to Microsux Azure or even Google cloud services among others is a threat.

You don't have to convince me about Kamala, although more likely scenario is Zimbabwe or Venezuela than an outright collapse.
But there is no amount of real world growth that could catch up to the growth of the deficit. The interest alone is 25% of the budget. And imagine what will happen if the govt didn't print and pump 2 trillion extra into the economy every year.
