Sunday Overnight Open Thread - July 13, 2025 [Doof]
(Photo and song - courtesy of nurse ratched)
Message in a
A couple renovating their new home discovered hidden inside their loft a heartwarming message written by a little girl 35 years ago—on the side of an empty toilet paper roll. Charlotte England-Black found the touching note, which was concealed in the attic of their property in Nottingham, England, in 1989 when the little girl was moving out. The 30-year-old moved into the house with her husband five months ago, but only found the hidden time capsule last Friday. The note was penned by Emma—who was seven years old at the time—as a secret message for the home’s future owners. *** Charlotte immediately wondered where Emma was now—so she reached out on a Facebook community page in a bid to track her down. Amazingly, she was found within the hour.Hidden time capsule? More like a time crap-sule, amirite??
Useful tools definitionsCheck out the link. Some great entries.
DRILL PRESS: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, denting the freshly-painted project which you had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it. WIRE WHEEL: Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned calluses from fingers in about the time it takes you to say, 'Oh sh --' SKILL SAW: A portable cutting tool used to make studs too short. PLIERS: Used to round off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the creation of blood-blisters. BELT SANDER: An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor touch-up jobs into major refinishing jobs. HACKSAW: One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle. It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes. VISE-GRIPS: Generally used after pliers to completely round off bolt heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand. OXYACETYLENE TORCH: Used almost entirely for lighting various flammable objects in your shop on fire. Also handy for igniting the grease inside the wheel hub out of which you want to remove a bearing race. TABLE SAW: A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood projectiles for testing wall integrity. HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK: Used for lowering an automobile to the ground after you have installed your new brake shoes, trapping the jack handle firmly under the bumper. BAND SAW: A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops to cut good aluminum sheet into smaller pieces that more easily fit into the trash can after you cut on the inside of the line instead of the outside edge. TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST: A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of everything you forgot to disconnect. PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER: Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under lids or for opening old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing oil on your shirt; but can also be used, as the name implies, to strip out phillips screw heads. STRAIGHT SCREWDRIVER: A tool for opening paint cans.. Sometimes used to convert common slotted screws into non-removable screws and butchering your palms. PRY BAR: A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or bracket you needed to remove in order to replace a 50 cent part. HOSE CUTTER: A tool used to make hoses too short. HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit. UTILITY KNIFE: Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on contents such as seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic bottles, collector magazines, refund checks, and rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work clothes, but only while wearing said clothes. **SOB TOOL: Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage while yelling 'Son of a b----' at the top of your lungs. It is also, most often, the next tool that you will need.*
Valid question
Not wrong!
'Ette Couture (Courtesy of Piper) It's that time of the week - when we turn the ONT over to our good friend Piper for a bit. Here's this week's fashion pr0n. ------
From Heartache to Hope This week brought heavy news with the loss of friends, family and devastating events in the Texas Hill Country. The heartbreaking images of children who lost their lives cast a somber mood. Only faith can provide strength through such profound grief. President Trump and First Lady Melania visited the affected area, visibly moved by the tragedy. Melania’s attire during the visit was appropriately subdued. She wore a single-breasted Dolce & Gabbana safari jacket, a simple green t-shirt, green pants of an unknown brand, and Chuck Taylor Low 70s in iron grey.
On July 3, Melania visited the National Children’s Hospital to decorate for Independence Day. She opted for Roger Vivier Ballet Flats in off-white patent leather, paired with a 2019 Gabriela Hearst Mirtha Pintucked Polka-Dot Silk Twill Shirt in ivory and navy. The timeless quality of the shirt proves that well-made clothing can remain stylish years later.
Speaking of timeless, a private Japanese collector purchased Jane Birkin’s original Hermès bag for a staggering $10 million, far exceeding the expected six-figure price. It’s safe to say this iconic bag won’t be used for everyday errands.
Elsewhere in the forest, Ivanka Trump was spotted with Wendi Murdoch at the Allen & Co. Media and Technology Conference in Sun Valley. Ivanka’s summer-appropriate outfit was chic yet approachable. She wore a Destree Hans cotton dress in white ($620), Margaux Demijane woven ecru leather shoes ($325), a Celine Cabas Phantom medium bag in white ($1,850), and Velvet Canyon’s The Poet sunglasses in black ($249), totaling around $3,000.
Want to recreate Ivanka’s look for less? Here’s a budget-friendly alternative:
Shoes- Sanctuary Gia Woven Mary Jane Ballet Flats (Dillard’s, $65 on sale)
Bag- Valentina Leather Tote (TJ Maxx, $60)
Sunglasses - Quay Aura Pointe 35mm Round Sunglasses (Quay, $75) Total? $388
For an even more affordable option, shop entirely at Target:
Shoes- Wild Fable Lorelei Woven Mary Jane Flats with memory foam insole ($35)
Bag- A New Day Work Tote Bag ($35)
Sunglasses- A New Day ($15)
Total? $111 As we move forward from this week’s mix of heartache and hope, we’re reminded to hold tight to faith and love. Melania’s quiet grace and mama-bear heart shone through, while Ivanka’s sunny, chic vibe at Sun Valley gave us fashion inspiration to play with—on a budget, no less! Let’s embrace next week with big energy, bold style, and hearts full of positivity. ------ Thank you, Piper - very nicely done.

Sorry I'm late. I am not really at liberty to discuss the details, but, rest assured, we have taken all necessary precautions to ensure that this situation does not develop into a global catastrophe.
At least, we think we have taken every precaution. Sometimes there are so many variables at play that one cannot possibly account for them all. Just go on and enjoy your evening.

Found a small baby crib, probably for a big doll, stuffed back in the 'attic' in hard too get location in this one house I bought (was running CAT5 cable to various rooms...). Not a real attic. Generally inaccessable space.
Some voodoo shit going on there.

I don't know if I am allowed to hijack the thread this early. Paul's cousin, Riva (who I can vouch for personally), lives in Fredericksburg, TX, and is helping out where she can in the Kerrville arra (16 mile straight drive from FDB). I know that we have dome horse lovers in this group, so I am passing this along if anyone wants to help in addition to direct help to the volunteers:
I’ve been a bit quiet yesterday and today about the help we are working to give our first responders/volunteers. With the weekend comes many extra folks who are off and wanting to help wherever they can. I respect that and made a conscious decision to step back a tad to give them space….to help in a form is very healing, we all deserve that.
There will be a huge change starting this evening. Many of the workers who have been helping will leave because of needing to get back to their regular life or job, that’s just life. Many others will step in those empty spots, while still others will continue to be here working just as diligently as they have for the past two weeks. We need them all!
Some of the needs are a bit different then just a couple of days ago, but there are still huge needs (cont)

Who's bringing flares for a nighttime feral hog hunt, to apply everything Weasel and others taught earlier in the day? I don't think there would be enough time to grill a whole hog; perhaps not even to finish butchering it well for a return trip with the successful hunter.

Riva continues:
Tomorrow I will reach out to another equine group about feed and vet needs. Also tomorrow, I will be contacting the Navasota Equine Surgey Clinic about donating toward equine Phoenix’s surgery costs. Phoenix’s young owner (I believe she is somewhere 19-22 yo) who has done a number of water rescue missions before, is doing all she can to save her brave partner’s life. As they were searching one the muck Phoenix stepped onto what turned out to be false solid mud, but in reality had a huge air pocket under it and thus swallowed horse and rider to Phoenix’s neck area. (Kind of think quick sand scenario,) and they couldn’t get out. Phoenix was pretty badly injured and once out, was rushed to this fine surgery facility with a 50/50 chance of saving his life. From the information I have received so far, the surgery was successful and there is good hope for a full recovery. I will call the clinic to confirm all information and make a direct payment to the clinic.
Just passing that along, if anyone is interested!
Oh, and Hello, Horde! 😊♥️

I have one screwdriver. With about 200 1/4" bits that fit in it. A nice MAC kit.
Anything phylips gets the drill and whatever fucked up #2 bit I have laying around. Then replace wth torx because never use a phylips screw twice. Flat head I cut to the chase. I die grind out the head and use vice grips when I can get to the shaft. Most shit made with flat heads is old as hell and rusted anyway. Probably my least favorite screw head. Phylips is next least favorite. I like torx, the six pionty one. Allen is good too. The rest I could do without. A lot of them are security type screws.

Never been a fan of Queen. Regarded them as talent wasted on self-indulgent silliness, but even I will admit, that LiveAid performance is something to behold. The audience had a lot to do with it, however.

So, my brothers liked Queen but my mom wouldn't let them have full albums, and it was only when I got older that I found out it was because of Freddie Mercury's orientation. I knew "Bohemian Rhapsody" because of Wayne's World and some guys in my high school re-creating the scene for our talent show. It was only once internet video took off that I realized how much I liked Queen's music.
That being said, I'm less than a minute into the video posted and Freddie tests out the piano by playing the first part of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1? Friggin awesome.

And also the hammer definition had no mention of the thumb.

Hey Horde,
I would like a quick opinion. I'm cleaning my last of my late ,other's bedroom now that the house is mine after 6 month's of torture, which I can miraculously laugh about now.
Anyways, Mom was a nun for 14 years. There are some stuff I'm finding that I know she would want kept.
But there are other things like a book of nuns that served Northern Ohio since 1850. I don't know if she even ever looked at it. I'm debating whether to pitch or keep. I'll never look at it. But I'm also not short on space.
I'm thinking I'll keep it and revisit it later.
There were small bottles of what I'm guessing was holy water. No labels, nothing. I was just going to pitch but is there a special way to get rid of it? I could probably just keep them in a drawer too and when I'm finally blessed with a family and kids, the kids can toss it....
Back to the last few drawers....

Back in the late 60s/early 70s my sister was out weeding one of our gardens. The older lady next door came running out of the house yelling "He's going to kill me!"
Her husband came running right behind her with a gun, pointed it at her, and pulled the trigger. Somehow it backfired and killed him.
Just as well. He was a drunk and a mean one at that. He also shot one of our dogs once

I know that many of you are vehemently opposed to Facebook, but for any of you who are still on it who would like to know how they can help with the situation down in the Kerrville area, Riva Koch Davis is Paul's cousin on there. She is linking lots of good things on FB about items that are desperately needed by the volunteers who are down there.
One of the posts she put up earlier today was from one of the folks who is coordinating some of the personal needs of the volunteers; you can actually order stuff through Amazon and have it delivered directly to one of the hotel's in Fredericksburg where many of the volunteers are staying; they will be sure that it gets distributed to those who need them.
The Cajun Navy said (another post that Riva put up today, with contact information) that they are in need of IV supplies to help keep the volunteers hydrated - they have pretty much cleaned all of the medical places out of their things until the next shipment comes in!
Thanks, Horde, for all of your help 😊♥️🙏

Holy Water can be respectfully returned to the ground. Or, you could pour it into a Sacrarium. Find one at your local Catholic Parish.

The dresser by the bed will be much easier to clean since I won't be finding laminated love letters from my father. All my retard brother got was cash. I have 14 years of memories and no regrets.
I did let him know her last words were my name being called over and over. I was going to take that to my grave but not after the last six months. Thanks everyone.

Not only that, she pushed the power button of the Beelink with a pencil eraser and moved it into the machine. Machine had to be disassembled. Sponge button was moved back in place with a plastic toothpick. Good thing the tiny push-pin it covered wasn't broken.

I clicked on the ONT and saw the picture.
"Heck, that looks like Puget Sound, around Alki," LCD said to himself.
Then I saw it was from nurse.
She only has to walk across the street to get to that scene.
Now you know why she is so full of confidence, wouldn't you be if you lived across the street from that?

I'm beginning to think the rotating ads on this site are designed to make you uncomfortable. Someone ramming a full set of false teeth in their mouth over and over in a sped up shot; Some old lady in a wheel chair that looks like someone locked her in the bathroom (because she was being a bother); Some cartoon scratching their head and creating more dandruff snow than they've seen in Vermont in years;
King Harv ads have become the non-obtrusive normal ones, and that's saying something.

Ever notice if you work on a Japanese motorcycle, mostly the carburetors,or anything jap with phillips screws, and every single phillips screw driver in your miserable existence wastes the screw head? Its because they aren't exactly phillips, but JIS. The fit is different.

Related: if you want a Japanese guy to hand you a tool for one of the two "actual screws," ask for a "plus driver" or a "minus driver."
After Berserker's tale, though, I'm not sure if he'll hand you Phillips or JIS if you ask for the plus driver.

I see a bunch of holes in various shapes in the sheet rock walls. I said dude, WTF where you trying to do there? He points to the table saw and says "it hates me". lol

I agree on the overuse, but I think it is appropriate here. This bag represents the epitome of luxury Hermes, there is a huge amount of respect for it, the design, the quality. And because you can’t just go buy a new one off the shelf, it maintains status. It is the Marilyn Monroe of purses, not the cheap Madonna Version. 😂

One night at some gathering I went to after a guitar show we were drinking copious amounts of booze. Of course there were a lot of guitars laying around from the guys playing around with their new acquisitions. I was trying out one of the guitars and for some reason still unknown to me my photographic memory for music turned on me and out of nowhere I started playing the opening chords to fleetwood mac's Rhiannon. Moral of the story- in berserker world when the fleet mac appears out of nowhere, THAT is too much drinking.

Looked like him and played like a champ. It was a crowd of gray hairs and "Freddie" kept trying to get us to stand up, whoop it up and clap on a Tuesday night. We ain't 20 anymore and it just wasn't working.

Evening, lat nighters,
Of course we would be kind to the lurkers! We want them to join us in our Color Revolution against . . . Well, we'll think of something. Just not right now.
As for yours truly, I am about to fall into bed. I've had a late snack so I won't be too hungry tomorrow morning; I cannot have anything to eat or drink after midnight in prep for my mild hernia surgery tomorrow. I've showered with the antiseptic they gave me, put on clean pjs and clean sheets, and set the alarm. Aside from that, it will all be up to the medical staff at the outpatient shop. Let us hope and pray they are sober and not going through personal tragedies!
Wish me luck tomorrow!

The craftsmanship, the design, the quality, how it has affected the fashion world, and this bag definitely has. It’s what other designers aspire to have happen to their brand, but no one has ever quite done it.

I do believe this was the day, six years ago, when the rainstorm flood -- on a street which had never flooded in decades -- trashed my '15 BMW 3 Series. I'd only had it for three months; hadn't even done my first oil change. The insurance company paid off properly and I wound up buying the current big red Buick, which is probably the best car I've ever had . . . but there are times when I miss the BMW.
On the other hand, the Buick takes regular instead of premium. I'd grit my teeth over that every time I filled up the BMW.

We live in a house that was built in 1907. The original owners did something with horses in Temple, Texas before they moved to Fort Worth. I don't know how they managed to stay undisturbed in the attic all those years, but when we moved into the house in 1985 and started doing renovations to items in the attic, Mr. TiFW ran across a LOT of paperwork in a couple of boxes that had fallen into the eaves somehow and had just been sitting there all that time.
LOTS of receipts from a feed store in Temple where the French family had bought cottonseed (or meal) to feed the livestock when they lived there. We even found a "gentleman's agreement" between Mr. French and AJ Tandy in 1897 for the sale of cattle at "x" dollars per head, all of them to be alive at the time of sale.
We have that one framed, along with all of the other items that could be salvaged.

Of course they lied. They always lie. They think you'll magically slide the new unit in and have it dock with the original ductwork like it was a frigging space station, and forgetting that you might just want to duct tape the connection which isn't happening from inside the bathroom. Then there's the wiring that you hope has enough slack and isn't stapled to a beam in the attic 12" away where you can't get to it from inside to pull slack JUST in case the hookup on the new unit is on the other side of where the original was. They always lie.

I will not begrudge you disdain for the narcissist involved, especially since about zero percent of the money actually came close to helping the cause for which it was intended, but I think chalking up the entire exercise to crass commercialism is not quite accurate.

The perfect screwdriver has been invented. There is a screwdriver that has surgical steel claws inside a Philips head driver. The idea is that the driver can't bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.

Off with their heads!
Okay, not yet.
But later. . . .
In high school, was going to see Foghat open for Mountain. I had a VW Squareback, so lots of people room, if not the coziest of seating accomodations. And OSHA or whoever hadn't mandated seatbelts in the backs of station wagon-type cars yet.
There was a group of us. Partying, naturally. Mostly drinking alkyhol from our separate bottles. We get to the arena parking lot, get out and I lock the car up. We start walking towards the turnstyles to have our tickets ripped in half and this one guy starts running toward the turnstyles screaming, 'I'VE STORMED THE BASTILLE'. He was drunk on his ass on straight gin out of his bottle. We looked at each other stunned. No, no, we don't know him (what we we going to do with him instantly in custody?) as they took him away to what we found out later to be the hospital he was so drunk. No one knew he was that bombed. Until he stormed the Bastille.

Fished for two tides, pulled in 30 lovely Kasilof Red Salmon, now in process of brining, smoking, canning. If you do not attend the TXMoMe, you will miss these tasty treats. Just sayin'.
Two days ago I was up to my armpits in fish guts. Soon I will be up to my armpits in lovely jars of smoked salmon. Life is damned good.

Of course they lied. They always lie. They think you'll magically slide the new unit in and have it dock with the original ductwork like it was a frigging space station, and forgetting that you might just want to duct tape the connection which isn't happening from inside the bathroom. Then there's the wiring that you hope has enough slack and isn't stapled to a beam in the attic 12" away where you can't get to it from inside to pull slack JUST in case the hookup on the new unit is on the other side of where the original was. They always lie.

Well, today is the deadline for the fenti addicts to leave the house. They will be homeless again. But I've done all I can do for them, and they've taken advantage. Its not a happy ending, he needs dialysis 3x a week and has a port surgically cut into his chest that is easily infected, she is in love with no thought to her own future so she'll let him drag her down with him.
I can't find the words to explain how STUPID Fentanyl is, they need $30 a day just to avoid withdrawal sickness, the shock of which is so severe that it can actually kill them. So just to function normally they need a dose every days. Some of you know better than me - this has been a fools errand. They have not made a serious effort to quit, they'll probably be dead before September.

Some people love the drugs more than they love life. There is not one damned thing you can do about it. Please don't feel guilty. It isn't worth the heartache.
I think it is rather like what God does when we die. We get whatever we love the most. So, if you have loved Jesus enough to keep His commandments, you will have Jesus and all will be well. If not, well, guess what? Not God's fault.
We are not God, but we do know we have to do the right things or face consequences. The addicts know this too. They just don't care.

A JIS screwdriver will drive Phillips screws just fine, but, as noted by Berserker-Dragonheads Division, the reverse is not true.
The Japanese are very good with that sort of subtle protectionism. I have no doubt that the Japanese standards organization that defined JIS also requires their use in products sold to any official groups.
US speakers don't require any protection.You overdrive it and melt the coil, BFD. The coils are usually hanging out on their own, or surround by fiberglass, so little danger of fire. However, any speaker sold in Japan must be fused, by a special fuse. Actually, the only thing special about it is the length - longer than an SAE. So, anyone wishing to sell speakers in Japan must use the special fuseholder. A standard metric or SAE fuseholder is too short. However, Japanese made speakers with the special fuse and fuseholder can be sold in the US, which has no requirements. Here's the good part: the Japanese fuseholder has a long enough spring, so that, if the fuse blows in the US, a standard SAE fuse will work.
Engineered to allow export, but discourge imports.

One thing at a time. We still have to educate Alanis Morrisette as to what the word "ironic" means. She's having trouble.
Then we'll take on this "iconic" misuse, overuse, and the superlative adverb trap on a word already "allegedly" noting distinctive excellence.
IOW, the adverb "most" is improperly used because the word "iconic" is improperly used. Good grief, I'm turning into my 9th grade English teacher (although, she had a better moustache).

They think you'll magically slide the new unit in and have it dock with the original ductwork like it was a frigging space station, and forgetting that you might just want to duct tape the connection which isn't happening from inside the bathroom. Then there's the wiring that you hope has enough slack and isn't stapled to a beam in the attic 12" away where you can't get to it from inside to pull slack JUST in case the hookup on the new unit is on the other side of where the original was. They always lie.

And the old unit was screwed to the rafters from the attic side. And the ductwork—how exactly are you supposed to attach it and tape it from the bathroom side?
I will say it’s much quieter and pulls the moisture away quite nicely.

You aren't really cool until you rock the Chuckies. But man, they really should have a bunch of scuffs on the white toes.

She probably doesn't have an "opportunity" to wear any one pair of shoes long enough for scuffing. She'll never know that Chucks aren't truly comfortable until they look like they were pulled out of a dumpster.

What's up in Taiwan these days?

So I have questions.
It was announced that President Trump was going to have a major statement to make about, I think Putin was specified, tomorrow. Presumably Ukraine related and why he's continuing to waste taxpayer dollars on the Deep State's pet project.
Is that a head fake for something else? Or is this report about the tankers a headfake (like the bombers going the long way to Iran)?

Taking the idea from narco-subs the US Marines are developing stealth cargo supply vessels.
------------
Along the Sea Specter's 65-foot frame, its above-water profile ranges from a couple feet to mere inches. Its command and control system is produced by Sea Machines Robotics.
With a sensor mounted 8 feet above the deck, the ALPV can see about 5 to 7 miles in front of it, and can carry 5 tons for 2,300 nautical miles, traveling at 8 knots.
Tie-downs inside the boat are designed to hold pallets, so the vessels can be loaded down with ammunition, food, fuel, water, or anything else. - Defense News

Reading the tea leaves Trump tried to have a good meeting of the minds with Putin and was rebuffed. Opinion is that Putin wants more than his fair share, as some said in the beginning, and isn't amenable to negotiation.

I am going to hit the sack, too. I played hooky from working on my transmission overhaul today, and put away one dead engine, and began the teardown process on another. That engine, a six-cylinder Studebaker, is currently upside-down on a pair of 4X4's on the ground, head off. Cylinders rusted stuck. Plan is to remove the pan, pull all the bearing caps, and see if I can lift the crank out. Then see what can be done to remove the pistons. I have no particular use in mind for it, but if the engine proves to be rebuildable, it will get put away in storage.

The trick with slotted screwdrivers is on how you grind the screwdriver tip. Most screwdrivers you buy will have a tip that has perfectly parallel faces. Put that into a screw slot and turn, where does it engage? Only on the corners. Doesn't grip very well, and will readily cam out, buggering the screw slot in the process. Grind the faces into a shallow arc on each side, so that end-on, it looks like a double-convex lens.
Like this: () But not so extreme. Just a tetch thinner at the edges than in the middle. Put that in the screw slot and turn, and it grips on the flanks of the curve, and makes contact with the slot over a much wider span. It really makes a remarkable improvement. Just a few seconds on the wheel of a bench grinder can turn a crappy screwdriver into much better tool. It's ridiculously easy to do.

OS 26 adds new Communication Safety tools to protect users, especially kids. It now:
-Detects nudity in FaceTime, freezing video/audio and showing a warning with options to continue or end the call.
-Blurs explicit content in Shared Albums
------------------
In touch with Apple Support the other day and in conversation she said up date Version 26 will turn your phone wrong side out.
It will be completely different.
(Those words are my interpretation)
But she did say that from my current opinion of ios updates that I wouldn't like it.

Syria getting hot. Clashes in north (Kurds) and apparent regime offensive in south (Druze). Kurdish issue might be serious as other groups will take heed if Damascus retreats on federalism pledges. Israel likely to intervene in south if regime doesn't back off. In addition to the pretty unsavory types spearheading regime effort in south (ISIS patches on some), it's alleged regime is renting bedouin muscle to harass the Druze.
Pretty standard stuff for that "country", really, but still.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem has just revealed 5 MORE "ALLIGATOR ALCATRAZ" facilities may be coming soon.
YES, build these nationwide. They are using Florida as a model.
"I'm having ongoing conversations with five other governors about facilities that they may have."
"We're looking at other locations as well. We've had several other states that are actually using Alligator Alcatraz as a model for how they can partner with us as well.
"We need to double our capacity and detention beds because we need to facilitate getting people out of this country as fast as possible and to sustain our operations."

Morticia, I'm wondering if they'll set up a detention center on Pendleton. Makes sense. CA has no say, place has abundant cheap labor (lol) and experience in setting up expedient facilities. For both the '75 and '78 Vietnamese refugee situations (remember, back when "refugee" actually meant what it means) Pendleton was a major holding facility. I'm sure Uncle Sam's Misguided Children can quickly get the job done if given the order.

Ho-lee, Pendleton of course. Oh hell that's hilarious, right in Gavin's front yard. Border Patrol right there on the 5 just alongside Pendleton to contribute any strays (I can't imagine anyone is crashing the border in the trunk of a car anymore, but that post is there for a reason). The Coast Guard, which has been picking up boatloads of them off Point Loma, could drop them off at an improvised detention center for transportation up the freeway.
Perfect!
