After being trashed by the Canadian press for bending the knee to Trump and showing he's a weakling, the bastard son of Communist thug Fidel Castro offered a Strong statement that he would "respond" if Trump follows through on his pledge to slap a 25% tariff on all Canadian imports unless our communist neighbors to the north help stop illegals and drugs flowing across the border.

... Canada will "respond to unfair tariffs in a number of ways, and we're still looking at the right ways to respond, but our responses to the unfair steel and aluminum tariffs were what ended up lifting those tariffs last time," he said.

Ted Cruz: Daniel Penny should sue the Soros out of Alvin Bragg.

"Alvin Bragg is an absolute catastrophe. First, he indicted Donald Trump in a partisan case, and then he indicted Daniel Penny for saving the lives of other subway passengers from a deranged lunatic threatening to kill everyone," Cruz said in the statement. "Penny should sue Bragg for malicious prosecution and hold this rogue Soros prosecutor accountable."

I don't know what the rules of a malicious prosecution lawsuit might be, or if Bragg is protected by sovereign immunity or what. I sure wish Penny could sue him and win bigly.

America's Groomer Dad Tim Walz, a self-estimated "knucklehead," said he was totally surprised by Trump's victories because the hand-picked, professionally-curated attendees at his silly rallies were totally onboard with him and Kamala.

"It felt like at the rallies, at the things I was going to, the shops I was going in, that the momentum was going our way, and it obviously wasn't," Walz told KSTP-TV's Tom Hauser, as the Washington Examiner reported. "So, yeah, I was a little surprised."
It's easy to argue that Walz's surprise is due at least in part to the fact that Democrats stay within their bubbles far too often. Friendly interviews, failure to associate with anyone who doesn't fall in line with left-wing values, and a blind belief that only leftists are virtuous and right make for surprise when a leftist finds out that people who disagree with him exist.
One can excuse Walz for sounding like a typical cosseted leftist for his surprise that the American electorate didn't welcome him and Harris with open arms, but the reason he thinks the ticket lost is downright laughable. You might want to sit down for this if you aren't already.
"I really, I thought we had a positive message, and I thought the country was ready for that," he told Hauser. No, seriously -- that's what he thinks.

Tim Walz's whole family went to the media to announce they were voting for Trump. I don't know how you lose your entire family but still convince yourself "America is with me."

President Trump's already delivering.

President-elect Donald Trump won't take office for another five weeks, but his election is already causing a sea change in America's illegal immigration crisis.
In sprawling migrant camps across Mexico City, people are giving up their plans to cross into the United States and are instead planning to settle in Mexico or begin the long trek back home.
'I'm just going to give up and go back to Venezuela,' said a woman in one of the squalid encampments, where thousands of migrants have constructed tents with tarps and scrap material.
'I have children to take care of,' she added. 'I'll just go back because, with Donald Trump, it's going to be too hard.'
This is a cruel reality for millions of people drawn to Mexico by the Biden administration's indulgent border policies -- only to find that Americans overwhelmingly rejected the misguided approach in the 2024 election.
The young mother of two had hoped to have already entered the US through President Joe Biden's 'humanitarian parole' program known as CBP One.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection has reported that, since January 2023, the federal initiative has allowed entry into the US for 771,000 migrants, at a rate of about 1,600 people a day. But that program was also quickly overwhelmed by the volume of requests resulting in a massive backlog.
Now, the Trump transition team says the program will end on Day One of the new administration.

Elon Musk wants all federal workers to actually come back to work. Not only does he personally believe in the importance of actual physical presence in a workplace, but he figures that many federal workers will quit rather than start working normal office hours again, thus giving him a bunch of self-firing bureaucrats.

But the federal employees union, which must be decertified by Congress, is pushing back.

The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents 800,000 federal and Washington city workers, said assertions that staffers are abusing work-from-home flexibility are serving as cover for Republican lawmakers to try to tear down the government.
...
"Exaggerating the number of federal employees who telework and portraying those who do as failing to show up for work is a deliberate attempt to demean the federal workforce and justify the wholesale privatization of public-sector jobs," AFGE said on its website.
...
At issue is a report on telework released by Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) last week, which she shared with other senators. The report is expected to bolster efforts by the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, an outside group led by tech mogul Elon Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, to have federal employees back in the office five days a week.
"For years, I have been tracking down bureaucrats relaxing in bubble baths, playing golf, getting arrested, and doing just about everything besides their job," Ernst said in a statement. "Federal employees need to return to work, but if they don't want to, I will make their wish come true."
In her report, the Iowa senator said 90 percent of federal employees telework, while only 6 percent report to the worksite full time. In addition, close to one-third of staffers work remotely.
"If you exclude security guards & maintenance personnel, the number of government workers who show up in person and do 40 hours of work a week is closer to 1%!" Musk said on social media last week, referring to Ernst's report.

While the GOPe continues to insist that the party be ruled by a gerontocracy hopelessly out of touch with today's actual party members -- and owned by corporate interests -- Democrats move to push their aging criminals out of committee leadership positions.

The Democratic Party is shaking up its committee leadership in the House of Representatives following its crushing November election defeat.
Despite failing to take back a majority, Democrats have retained their top leadership in the House of Representatives, tapping House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, House Minority Whip Katherine Clark and Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar to stay on in their current roles. Meanwhile, the knives have come out at the committee level, with a slew of Democratic representatives launching bids against more senior panel members for top committee posts.
Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, 61, mounted a challenge against Democratic New York Rep. Jerry Nadler, 77, for the top role on the House Judiciary Committee on Dec. 2, with Nadler ultimately dropping out of the race Wednesday amid a surge of support for his younger opponent.
"As our country faces the return of Donald Trump, and the renewed threats to our democracy and our way of life that he represents, I am very confident that Jamie would ably lead the Judiciary Committee as we confront this growing danger," Nadler wrote in a Dec. 4 Dear Colleague letter announcing he was dropping his bid.
...
The Nadler coup reportedly comes amid a push from Democratic lawmakers for generational change as the party faces a second Trump administration, according to The New York Times. Congressional leaders, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, allegedly lobbied Raskin to challenge Nadler following Raskin's efforts as a leading force in President-elect Donald Trump's 2021 impeachment and the Jan. 6 investigation, with Nadler's opponents arguing he wasn't fit for the task of taking on Republican House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan.

27 While I'm sure Trump got a little chuckle out of that post and belittling Trudeau, that was NOT the real purpose. Immediately upon Trudeau being "summoned" to Mar-a-Lago and complaining about tariffs (which solicited Trump's jest of making Canada the 51st state)...a Republican Senator (who hid behind anonymity) went to the media and criticized the move.

Trump's post above was a message to that RINO and all the other RINO's. He doubled down, and made clear that it will not be business as usual.

52 That tweet by Trump about Governor Castro was some 4d chess but no one seems to have noticed. He was sending a message to China (and India) to keep their paws off.

Micheal Yon has mentioned a few times about how China already considers parts of Canada as a possession. (I don't know if he is nuts, but he explains that the number of toes on the dragon statues they put in front of their embassy has a symbolic meaning and Canada is already conquered in their slanty minds)

So it was a joke and diss at Castro, but I think it was mainly a reminder to China about the Monroe Doctrine.

Embraced the healing power of "and."

Trudeau is getting clobbered in the polls, and Trump is doing the one thing that can make it worse - humiliate him.

That's why he's taunting Little Justin From Canada, because Canadians hate that. The Tory candidate is playing right along, saying *he* would restore Canada's dignity, not lick Trump's boots.

I think the clear strategy is for Little Justin to provoke Trump to crashing the economy while trying to look strong, and taking down the coalition government. Then Trump can deal with a strong, conservative, closed-borders guy.

67 Portland city workers, 2022:

They wrote that requiring employees to come back was especially unfair to marginalized groups because teleworking results in “fewer microaggressions and fewer instances of overt racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, etc., in the workplace or during their commute.” They also wrote that city employees cared about carbon emissions from commuting and argued that they were “saving lives from traffic violence with fewer vehicle miles traveled.”

The city’s exemption process for those with disabilities, they added, was intrusive, nonconfidential and retraumatizing, and they asked the city to “discontinue using a medical model of disability and adopt a social and human rights model of disability.” They levied a warning: “There is also real organizational risk of noncompliance with federal and state law.”

A lot of people have suggested TDS, but that makes more sense. TDS in Republicans is always a function of losing one's audience/grift. National Review thought they could control the GOP nomination by doing a Very Special Issue against Trump and it failed.

At that moment, their power was broken. They were shown to have no influence in GOP politics, and they never mentally or emotionally recovered.

Patterico isn't part of that, and living in LA, I can see kids being corrupted by the quack doctors and teachers out there.

Going forward, there are going to be a lot of parents who will refuse to admit that they failed their kids, and will swear to their dying breath that trans is real.

108 That tweet by Trump about Governor Castro was some 4d chess but no one seems to have noticed. He was sending a message to China (and India) to keep their paws off.

Micheal Yon has mentioned a few times about how China already considers parts of Canada as a possession. (I don't know if he is nuts, but he explains that the number of toes on the dragon statues they put in front of their embassy has a symbolic meaning and Canada is already conquered in their slanty minds)

So it was a joke and diss at Castro, but I think it was mainly a reminder to China about the Monroe Doctrine.
Posted by: Gentlemen, time for a reckoning at December 10, 2024 05:52 PM (Uj7jl)

A few years ago Canada via Castro Jr. signed an agreement with China that allowed China to land military troops in China if the Chinese gov't thought Chinese interests or Chinese people were at risk or threatened in any way.

This is false. Russia is advancing methodically, cautiously, on narrow fronts, creating and then clearing cauldrons.

They are inflicting heavy casualties in the process, because they have pushed Ukraine out of the fortified zones and as the ground freezes, digging in becomes harder to do. It's also easier to see fresh turned earth in the snow.

Suetonius and Cassius Dio claim that Nero sang the "Sack of Ilium" in stage costume while the city burned.[67][68][69] The popular legend that Nero played the lyre while Rome burned "is at least partly a literary construct of Flavian propaganda ...

Tacitus is a more reputable historian and he says Nero was away at the time. He also reports Nero was helpful to the displaced citizens. Tacitus reports the rumor that Nero played the lyre and sang, but says it's unfounded.

The revisionist theory I saw postulated recently was that the persecuted under Nero weren't Christians but another sect and that later Christian writers just edited the histories because 'everyone knew' Christians were tortured. I admit that the claim that it would have to be quick work for a community in Rome to grow up and be known to the emperors all the way in Rome when even in Judea they were kinda fringe players is pretty reasonable. Supposedly the type of torture/execution was meaningful to this sect.

Tacitus is a more reputable historian and he says Nero was away at the time. He also reports Nero was helpful to the displaced citizens. Tacitus reports the rumor that Nero played the lyre and sang, but says it's unfounded.
Posted by: bonhomme at December 10, 2024 06:22 PM (Odg76)

He was away either fleeing the fire or was just outside of town during the fire. Him watching the fire from nearby is standard, the composition on the lyre is what is disputed. I don't think he was down in Taranto or anything.

Prosecutorial immunity (and judicial immunity) is pretty strong. It's not 100% absolute, but it's pretty close. Dershowitz was going on about this yesterday on some show. It shouldn't be as strong as it is.

I think the only recent case that came close to piercing that immunity was the Mike Nifong and the Duke Lacrosse case. The NC AG actually made a statement, and this was intentional, that opened the door to piercing Nifong's immunity.

He's been disbarred and sued into bankruptcy, but I don't know if any actual malicious prosecution case was actually brought.

The revisionist theory I saw postulated recently was that the persecuted under Nero weren't Christians but another sect and that later Christian writers just edited the histories because 'everyone knew' Christians were tortured. I admit that the claim that it would have to be quick work for a community in Rome to grow up and be known to the emperors all the way in Rome when even in Judea they were kinda fringe players is pretty reasonable. Supposedly the type of torture/execution was meaningful to this sect.

Suetonius is a great read and if you are interested in Roman historians, the perfect guy to start with. He's gossipy, naughty and - I think - reasonably honest because he often gives both versions of events. He'll say "Pompey's people said this, Caesar's said that."

293 "This is a cruel reality for millions of people drawn to Mexico by the Biden administration's indulgent border policies..."

Imagine if those millions of now bamboozled, military-aged men understood that their guides stole their money/time and screwed them over. One might think they could put a pretty good dent in the cartels if'n they wanted a refund for their troubles.

295 My late husband has family in British Columbia and I love them dearly. We visited often and in 2014 somebody egged our car (Colorado plates) which was parked in front of the cousin's house. Let's just say I have my issues with Canadians because of that.

296 Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva underwent surgery for a brain hemorrhage related to a recent fall, the Syrian-Lebanese Hospital in Sao Paulo said Tuesday.

“The operation went without complications” on Monday night, and Lula was “doing well, under monitoring” in an intensive care unit, the hospital said in a statement posted on the president’s Instagram account.

The hemorrhage was linked to a fall Lula suffered on October 19, the hospital said. Lula had hit his head after falling in a bathroom at the presidential residence in the capital Brasilia and received several stitches.

I have completely and thoroughly red pilled the ARNP I work with on all matters Trump/biden/the Deep State/Covid bs and illegals.

She came right out and said, "you were right about it all."

Not even kidding.

298 > You've got to laugh.

I mostly chortling at this point. The corrupt Mexican government worked with the cartels and our adversaries to invade the US with as many illegal immigrants as possible. We should be setting up artillery and planning air strikes on every known cartel jeffe and their henchmen. I have a feeling Trump will put some on the TWL and we’ll go direct action. F Mexico. Those people have killed countless Americans with their poison and let hundreds of terrorists and foreign recon personnel across the border. We should slam their dicks in the car door.

SCHIFF: "I don't think the incoming President should be threatening his political opponents with jail time. That's not the kind of talk we should hear from the President in a democracy, nor do I think that a pardon is necessary for the members of the January 6 Committee."

300 US President Joe Biden's administration finalized nearly $6.2 billion in funding for Micron Technology on Tuesday, firming up a deal to boost domestic chipmaking...

And there are no strings attached or politicians getting favorable deals. ( sigh )

While throwing money at chip making sounds cool, the devil is in the details of implementation. Things like supply chain, finding and retaining talent, the inherent inability to compete in a global market because of the US corporate income tax schemes.

And not all chips are created equal. What would be good in a "smart" washing machine or in your "smart" watch isn't the same kind of chip used in AI, weapons guidance systems or equipment for harsh environments.

Then there is the problem of IP....

303 Suetonius is a great read and if you are interested in Roman historians, the perfect guy to start with. He's gossipy, naughty and - I think - reasonably honest because he often gives both versions of events. He'll say "Pompey's people said this, Caesar's said that."

Seutonius is like reading the "National Enquirer" or other tabloids to get your history. "...and he had a grandma who POISONED EVERYONE!"

The book on Nero is Stephen Dando Collins' The Great Fire of Rome. He wrote histories of individual legions. A blurb on Amazon mentions that the sect was an Egyptian Goddess - Isis, perhaps. I can probably pull out the book if you are interested.

308 Ted Cruz: Daniel Penny should sue the Soros out of Alvin Bragg.

...

No.

I predicted Daniel Penny would be acquitted, back in February, right here at AOSHQ. I've had my doubts since, but it turned out I was right in the first place, and I'm glad of it, and glad for Penny.

If you think the not-guilty verdict means Penny is not guilty, you're correct. If you think it means he didn't break the law, then you don't understand why we have jury trials in this country. Apparently Ted Cruz thinks Daniel Penny didn't break the law. He's wrong.

Bernhard Goetz broke the law in very similar circumstances, back in 1984. He shot four thugs on a subway platform. A jury found him not guilty on every charge except a trivial weapons charge. But in the ensuing civil trial, Goetz lost a 44M judgement.

Penny is vulnerable in the same way. In a civil trial, there won't be any testimony about what a scary motherfucker Jordan Neely was. It will be a cold-blooded, merciless proceeding.

In a civil trial, Bragg would have a far better shot at Penny than he had in the criminal trial. He would countersue and walk away with his reputation restored, and a massive settlement to boot.

No.
