CNN reports the IRS is preparing to rescind Harvard's tax-exempt status:

The Internal Revenue Service is making plans to rescind the tax-exempt status of Harvard University, according to two sources familiar with the matter, which would be an extraordinary step of retaliation as the Trump administration seeks to turn up pressure on the university that has defied its demands to change its hiring and other practices.
A final decision on rescinding the university's tax exemption is expected soon, the sources said.

Via Ed Morrissey, who notes the Supreme Court voted 8-1 to uphold the stripping of tax-exempt status from Bob Jones University for failing to act in "the public interest" (there, alleged discrimination against non-whites).

Surprise! The leftwing socialist BLM supporter who fire-bombed the residence of the Jewish governor of PA -- not that you'd know that from the media -- turns out to have acted as a terrorist to support the Palestinians.

ABC "News:"

The suspected arsonist who allegedly tried to kill Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro decided to firebomb his official residence because of "what he wants to do to the Palestinian people," according to a search warrant signed by Pennsylvania State Police.
Investigators obtained several warrants as part of the investigation into the early Sunday morning arson attack, including for suspect Cody Balmer's storage unit, electronic devices and parents' home, where he told a Dauphin County judge he had recently been living.
Balmer, 38, targeted Shapiro "based upon perceived injustices to the people of Palestine," one of the warrants said, law enforcement sources told ABC News.

That'll give the New York Times another chance to hide highly-relevant information.

The FBI agent arrested for attempting to take top secret information overseas -- and who tried to frame Giuliani as a Russian agent -- is being defended by Hunter Biden's law firm.

An arrested FBI agent who had publicly alleged Trump ally Rudy Giuliani may have been compromised by Russia and who had denied the FBI had mishandled its investigation of Hunter Biden is now represented by a law firm that defended Joe Biden's son.
The agent, Jonathan Buma, who had handled confidential human sources (CHSs) for the bureau and whose home had been raided by the FBI back in 2023, was arrested at JFK Airport in New York City in March for the alleged illegal disclosure of confidential information. He is being prosecuted in California, where he was based as an FBI agent.
Buma, whose previous claims to Congress and the media alleged that he was involved with helping special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into debunked claims of Trump-Russia collusion and who has repeatedly taken aim at Giuliani while defending the bureau's slow walking of the Hunter Biden investigation, is now being defended by a high-profile law firm that defended Joe Biden's son and attacked the federal investigation into him, Just the News has learned.

Serpentine spinner James Carville tells the progressive wing to leave the Democrat Party.

Democratic strategist James Carville suggested in a Tuesday video that far-left individuals should formally break away from the Democratic Party.
Among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents, 45% would prefer the Democratic Party become "more moderate," according to Gallup polling published in February. Carville, in a Politicon video, argued that far-left elements are hurting the party's appeal and proposed "a schism" as a possible solution.
"The only thing I'd ask is just don't use the word 'Democratic' in any title that you have, because most Democrats that I know that are running for office don't want your name, don't want you to be part of the deal," Carville said. "Yeah, sure, they would be glad to take your votes. Who wouldn't? Everybody wants to get as many votes as they can. Maybe you come up with your own name."
"And by the way, nothing against -- after the election, we can sit down and do like is done in parliamentary governments or governments around the world," he continued. "You sit down and you say, 'Okay, we want to be part of a governing majority. And we have these things that we want you to do to bring us in.' And we have negotiations and we figure a way that we can live with different parties, different titles, but under the same general philosophical roof."
While Carville said he agrees with most of the "faculty lounge and identity left" policy goals, he drew a line on what he called "pronoun politics."
"I think that if this election did not teach you how damaging that is, I don't think there's anything that I can tell you. And you say, 'This guy is stuck in another century -- not another decade -- and he represents nothing to do with the future of our movement.' I can accept that," he said. "You're not really going to hurt my feelings. So maybe we could have a kind of amicable split here and we go to post in 2026. Because you don't ever run. They never run against a Republican. Okay? All they do is run against other Democrats."
"I don't quite understand why you're so anxious to have the word 'Democrat' in the description of what you do. But maybe we can have an amicable split here and you go your way and we go our way," he continued. "And after the election, we come together and see how much common ground we can find. I know this is of heresy. It's always been -- the Democratic Party has always been the coalition. People said we have to work hard in the coalition."
For instance, the Democratic strategist said he recalls when the party attempted to unite "southern segregationist Democrats" and "more progressive Democrats" under the Democratic label.
"Maybe it's just not worth it anymore ... maybe what I think is that what you are proposing -- which are stupid fucking buttons with jackass pronouns on it -- is something that no one in the country really wants," Carville said. "And in fact, it turns people off and costs us votes."
Carville also asserted during a Thursday podcast that the Democratic Party will no longer choose its candidates based on their gender, race or ethnicity.
"No one gives a shit anymore in the Democratic Party what gender you are, what race you are, what ethnicity you are," he said. "They just want to win."
Moreover, he said during an April 3 discussion that Democratic swing-state senators felt that overcoming their party's brand was their most significant challenge as candidates, particularly noting Arizona Sen. Ruben Gallego and Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin, who both were elected in 2024.
"If you talk to, like, Senator Liz Slotkin or Ruben, they'll tell you the hardest thing they had to overcome was a 'D' after their name, okay?" Carville said. "That was the one thing that they had to -- we have created a party for people to run from, not to run on."

We need to purge the military of the progressive quislings.

There is a cancer in America's military ranks, and it must be expunged before it's too late. That cancer lies in uniformed service members' widespread rejection of the uniquely American concept of civilian control of the military and disregard for the absolute necessity that America's military officers remain apolitical in the face of the constitutional will of the electorate.
Recent events reveal this cancer, and they include the relief for cause of Navy Vice Adm. Shoshana Chatﬁeld after she reportedly refused to hang photos of President Donald Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on her headquarters' customary "Chain of Command" board and reportedly told her subordinates in a town hall that she would "wait [the Trump administration] out" the next four years. They also include the relief for cause of Col. Sussanah Meyers, commander of the U.S. Space Force's base in Greenland, after she openly questioned (to all of her subordinates via email) Vice President J.D. Vance's official pronouncements regarding the United States, Greenland, and Denmark.
Since Trump's inauguration, numerous other senior generals and admirals have been relieved by President Trump for various publicly unspeciﬁed reasons, including the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Air Force Gen. Charles "CQ" Brown; Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Lisa Franchetti; Adm. Linda Lee Fagan, the commandant of the Coast Guard; and Air Force Gen. Timothy D. Haugh, director of the National Security Agency and commander of U.S. Cyber Command. Each of these four-star ﬁrings is publicly shrouded in a certain degree of mystery, but rumors abound that so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) played a part in one way or another.
...
Since Trump's inauguration, I have been ﬂooded with reports of insubordination in the ranks toward Trump and Hegseth. Those reports range from fairly senior officers in the Pentagon showing open disrespect around the E-Ring coffee maker, all the way down to junior enlisted disrespecting their president and secretary of defense in the ship's galley or the chow hall.

I hate this smug, self-assured bullshit.

The All-Women Space Tourists are being mocked, including by fellow left-wing feminists:

Men and women used to follow a rule: When you've achieved something great, don't praise yourself. Praise other people for helping you succeed, or praise God for his benevolence. When people are putting the spotlight on you, share it.

Don't call yourself "hero," in short.

But left-wing feminists do not follow this rule. Oh, they are just as bothered by men being douchey narcissists, but they've decided that society just doesn't value their Feminist Achievements enough, so they constantly lavish themselves in praise.

For some reason, they think this kind of narcissistic self-regard is charming and "inspirational" when rich liberal women engage in it.

They're wrong, like they're wrong about everything else.

It also has both a liquidity problem and the fact that SCOTUS has already ruled it can be done. The only thing they could sue for is the argument that whatever the fuck they're doing - I don't care enough to follow the story - is in the public interest.

No doubt a judge will rule in their favor which would bring both the university and the judiciary into further ill repute.

Granted the inevitable lawsuit will take decades to work it's way through the courts, but if they lose their tax exempt status then tax laws are very clear on what happens to them and their tax free *savings* account.

Space Waitresses actually work for a living. These idiotic clowns hardly lift a finger. Going above the atmosphere for 10 seconds in a giant dildo hardly required more than sitting still. I'm sure they feel strong and empowered, yet another bullshit set of words because, to my knowledge, nobody ever told modern women they had no power or strength.

Maybe if they each had 5 kids, a big garden to feed them, a mortgage and a great husband, I might consider them to be heroic in a sort of standard moral framework. Instead, they are vacuous twats in need of comeuppance.

126 Thomas Steven Sanders was put on death row back in September of 2014 for the 2010 kidnapping and murder of 12-year-old Lexis Roberts of Las Vegas. Following a four-year trial, Sanders was sentenced to death by a jury at Alexandria’s Federal Courthouse. Sanders admitted to kidnapping and then killing Roberts in Catahoula Parish near Harrisonburg after murdering her mother in Arizona.

On April 16, 2025, the Catahoula Parish Grand Jury indicted Sanders for first-degree murder of Lexis. Burget said the District Attorney’s Office will seek the death penalty for Sanders and that Biden’s action to commute the federal death penalty will have no effect on his State prosecution.

According to Burget, Lexis lived with her mother, Suellen, in Las Vegas, Nevada. During the Labor Day weekend in 2010, the mother and daughter accompanied Sanders to the Grand Canyon in Arizona for a vacation. Upon their return to Las Vegas, Burget said Sanders shot and killed Suellen, then took Lexis to Catahoula Parish, where he shot her multiple times and used a knife on her.

This New Shepard vehicle is nothing but a space tourist joyride thing. It's the equivalent of an amusement park thrill-ride for billionaires. That's all.

I went over the profile and trajectory of this silly thing. It's basically straight up and straight down. The capsule comes down about ~2 miles from the launch pad. The booster is also reusable and comes down itself a few miles from the pad.

It makes it about ~2 miles above the Karman line, ~60 miles altitude, the technical boundary of "space". The whole thing is designed for nothing but tourism thrill-rides, allowing passengers like these bimbos to manage it, getting maybe 2-3 minutes of zero g, without needed any real training or physical prowess. A dumpy middle-aged due like me could probably manage it fine.

Re-entry, if you can call it that isn't that much either. They launch straight up, and the booster separates around apogee, allowing the capsule to fall back down, vertically. There's a brief 5.5g peak deceleration as it hits the thicker atmosphere at maybe 1-2 km/s vertical speed.

It quickly slows down. Heat loads on the thing aren't all that bad. It's nothing compared to an orbital reentry with significant horizontal speed.

I got to wondering if there's any real reason Bezos' rocket had to look so phallic, so dildo-like. The only thing really is, well, they wanted the capsule to be roomy, to give the tourists a lot of room and windows, which required a wide base. But, the booster didn't need to be that wide.

But still, nope, they could've put some sort of fairing or something to kill the dildo look, and it had to be on purpose.

My final post doc was with the Naval Research Laboratory, and one day we were called into an “all hands” meeting. At that meeting we were told, point blank, not to discuss a certain proposal. The proposal was this: if you want to reduce CO2 in the atmosphere all you need to do was seed the ocean with powdered rust. The resulting algae bloom would suck enormous amounts of CO2 out of the air. (To be cont.)

We all know Oprah's gf would be screaming to the point of passing out on this tent looking dome plastic deal if she was hurled in space.

Why? I guess the press, so Bezo's could strut his tuff against Musk...who builds real rockets that come back to earth as well as the boosters. Instead he face planted trying to open the hatch before one of the dimwits did.

They should have nailed the Principal Investigator for several reasons. First, giving the paper to a postdoc to review. I used to do that, but after I'd already submitted my review to the journal. I did it because such reviewing is an essential aspect of training a future scientist. I never let a postdoc or grad student review a paper that was close to his own research, for just the above reason.

Second, not catching that the postdoc's "work" so closely tracked the paper he'd nominally reviewed. Where the hell was his PI?

Third, the way to handle is to submit the entire matter to the editor of the journal, and include both papers.

Alan Shepard pull 6g's during ascent, and a whopping 11g during re-entry. This required the Right Stuff indeed. His peak altitude was about 110 miles, and he splashed down about 300 miles downrange.

And then Gus Grissom nearly drowned on the second such flight.

And re-entry heat. The Dildo head experiences a few hundred degrees temperature. Mercury was a couple thousand.

226 Good news from the UK for a change:

The TERFS of For Women Scotland seem to have started dismantling the Gender Recognition Act and Equality Act protected characteristic of gender reassignment via the back door with the Supreme Court judgment today. Solidarity with any trans people in the UK rn.

@owenjonesjourno
The biggest net result of today’s Supreme Court ruling is that trans people will be more scared and their lives more difficult.

It’s up to those who stand by trans people to make sure their lives are as easy, comfortable and safe as possible under any legal reality.

@owenjonesjourno
In countries like Spain and Ireland, trans rights and women’s rights rose together.

In countries like the US and Hungary, trans rights and women’s rights have reversed together.

If they’re in contradiction, why are these rights rising or falling together?

Colombia and Argentina are also good examples of feminists and trans rights activists working together to get their rights. For example, abortion was legalized using the words "women" and "other people who can get pregnant" to include trans men and non-binary people AFAB.

I believe he did get chastised, and blamed the student for the most part. I have a hard time buying that because when the woman brought it up neither her bosses or this guy bothered to look into it for a long time. Everyone involved in the investigation was dismissive of the charges right until it blew up in their face.

I am very worried about STEM due to the persistence of many theories I saw in Physics proposed for stupid reasons get disproved, then tweaked so they can't be tested..for a while. The overall lack of progress over the last generation in theory and practice over the last generation says a lot to me.

Posted by: 2009Refugee at April 16, 2025 07:05 PM (Amt00)

After 2 Judges said he was part of a gang, and gave deportation orders, his lawyer opened another case where he claimed asylum because he was afraid that another gang would target him.

A gang that no longer exists.

But under the Biden 'you get asylum... and you get asylum.... and you get...' policy... he was somehow granted asylum (probably without even a hearing).

Basically and to sum: I was already an astronaut before Gail Lesbo King and Perry, the devil worshipper. And Bezo's injection lipped, fake boobed fiancee. I don't know or care who the others were. Apparently no one else does, either, based on the amount of giving a shite.

Funny, but they don't need to do anything extra.
Democrats are already fighting (literally and figuratively) for them.

287 BREAKING: The Trump administration plans to eliminate the IRS’ Direct File program, an electronic system for filing tax returns directly to the agency for free, according to two people familiar with the decision. - AP

I don't use "Direct File", but does this mean that you get taxed and then also charged to file your taxes electronically?
Posted by: Dr. Fausti - I WAS The Science at April 16, 2025 07:29 PM (lg881)

Not sure why the Govt should be in competition to a bunch of tax programs out there that also provide a service.

288 Kinda OT. Tish James has allegations of mortgage fraud against her. One is declaring a five unit apartment building to be a four Plex, getting a better interest rate. I wonder if she was declaring the rent on unit #5?

295 Byng’s execution was just to encourage the others as Voltaire put it (better in the original French).
Posted by: NemoMeImpuneLacessit at April 16, 2025 07:29 PM (ZVgZ4)

Byng kinda got a raw deal. Years before his execution, some high admiral fought a battle and won. He was so proud he developed a rulebook "Fighting instructions" that everyone had to use. Basically you lined up 1 on 1, and shot each other to bits and if you had extra ships they waited your turn. Wins dropped accordingly.

Now if the enemy ran, you could call for a General Chase and do what you wanted. So the good admirals tried to get this situation going for their big battle wins in the era.

Anyhow Byng was attacking Majorca (or Minorca) and lost his Fighting Instructions battle and was shot. And the instructions weren't officially dropped enforcement was lacking and the big admirals did what they wanted.

Yes, the IRS has always been at the apex of high trust federal agencies.

301 Apology if someone already answered this:

"A favor to ask -
"What is the basis for the flood of 'wrongfully deported' descriptors for the spark of humanity that got sent home?
"Did I read that it was some intentional error made by an embedded bureaucrat?"

According to WH advisor Stephen Miller, the guy had been found by two courts that he was indeed a member of the gang designated a foreign terrorist organization and was indeed deportable, but a "withhold" order was also issued due to supposed threats to his life from rival gangs he'd refused to join back in good old El Salvador. He could be deported to any other country, but he was deportable from the US and could not remain. The "oopsie" was sending him to his home country instead of some other shithole like Guatemala or someplace. But as it is a done deal, it's beyond US courts' jurisdiction, and El Salvador's president said at the WH he had no power to send one of his citizens into the USD in any case. "Preposterous," he said.

303 Harvard shouldn't get a dime from the taxpayer even if they straighten up and fly right. They shouldn't get a dime if they turn into MAGA university. These colleges have enough money and should be self-sufficient rather than spoiled trust fund kids.

A lady called into Chris Plante today to let us know she's around Joe's age and grew up in Scranton. There were no school buses at that time, so, the lie is compounded. Typical Joe.

305 In this case, the falcon has heard the falconer. In this case, the Democrat Activists has heard their leadership call to emulate Hamas and create a third intifada. Combine this with Senator Chriss Van Hollen going to El Salvador to recruit gang members and rapists to terrorize USA women.
