Overnight Open Thread [12/01/2025]

[Mount Gilbert du Motier]

That mountain is 5,249 feet high, and it is so short in comparison to the mountains of the western United States that I can't even find it on a ranking list! It's a great hike during the summer, but since it is in the White Mountains, which is smack dab in the middle of weather that originates in Northern Canada, it can be miserable and dangerous any other time of the year.

Interestingly, the top of the mountain is in an Alpine Zone, which means the weather is so crappy that only small plants grow. No trees!

And for you layabouts and slugabeds, unlike Mount Washington, there is no road, so you will have to get off the couch and walk! But it is worth it...the views are wonderful, especially if you like fog and low clouds. Yeah; I would wait for good weather before climbing it.

******
This is from the mostly wonderful Daniel Greenfield. And even he doesn't get the whole picture! These so-called "Afghan allies" of ours when we were in that 3rd-World Sh*thole country weren't doing it out of some desire to assist America, or to bring enlightened Jeffersonian democracy to Afghanistan.

They assisted American armed forces because we were the power in the country, and they knew that aligning themselves with America would allow them to conduct their own vendettas under our shield. These people are tribal, and have no sense of patriotism. They are loyal to family, clan, tribe...and nothing else.

They are also savages with no respect for human life. That they are murderers in the Western sense isn't just unsurprising, it should be expected!

Afghan Refugees Killed 55 People, Wounded 92 in U.S.

The whole idea of leaving Afghanistan was that Afghans would no longer be able to kill Americans. But Biden’s disastrous Operation Allies Welcome program turned the problem on its head by bringing 100,000 Afghans to America. The previous distribution of visas to Afghan 'allies' handed out over 50,000 SIV visas to supposed allies. Those unwise moves brought Afghan terror to America. And now our soldiers are fighting Afghans in the streets of D.C.
Instead of leaving Afghanistan, we imported it to America, now it's time to deport it back.

This is the existential fight, and America isn't even aware that it is in a battle!

Every bit of the culture these people brought to America is antithetical to everything that America is based upon, and everything that we have created over the last 250 years. There is no way to find some common ground with them, because they are a binary society...it is them or us!

31 Schumer's newest stunt is why I'm against any kind of belligerent posturing.

Whether it's spiking the maneuver for momentary political advantage as Schumer & Co. are trying to do, or pointlessly drawing out a war for long-term political gain and spiking it later like Obama & Biden, or opening back channels to the enemy like Milley, Dems will *ALWAYS* ensure the victory of *EVERY* adversary.

And every one of our enemies & allies knows this - whether it takes 20 minutes, or 20 years, the Dems will eventually ride to the rescue. America simply cannot win a war ever again, as long as they remain inside the wire.

It is actually a lot worse than you described. The GWOT was hated by the Left until they figured out how to grift hundreds of billions out of it and then they were all in. Once there was nothing left to squeeze out, then they bailed in AF and caused a monstrous monetary and humanity loss.

Same thing in Ukraine. Same thing with Covid. They were against it until they figured out how to grift hundreds of billions if not trillions of dollars out of it, laying millions of casualties in their wake of theft, misery and destruction.

These monsters shock Satan in their depths of depravity.

Right after the video, Hegseth ordered one of his underlings, maybe Sec of the Navy I don't remember, to investigate and give him a report by sometime next week.

I think some of should read the link to the Byron York tweet highlighting the recently released NYT article that says 5 Pentagon sources say that Hegseth gave the admiral running the operation to shoot to kill but then never gave any other orders and let the admiral run the operation.

Whip antennas for car radios did not become popular before the late 1930's. For that matter, car radios were an expensive novelty in most makes until post WWII. In the early '30's, car radios either had a wire antenna concealed in the fabric roof insert, or a grid of wires mounted beneath the running board.

234 So what was the deal with the tall stovepipe hats, and bowlers? They don’t do anything to keep the sun off, and are useless in the rain. Just for show

Made of felt or beaver fur, so possibly for warmth?

I think it was probably a vanity thing so that the wearer was more noticeable in crowds and conferred status.

Though the hollowed out crown would be a good place to stash letters or loot for travelers and politicians.

"Yes, a top hat had practical uses like sun and rain protection, and it could be sturdy enough for tasks like standing on to see over obstacles, with collapsible opera hats being a design for convenience. Some tall, stovepipe top hats even served as a place for President Abraham Lincoln to store notes and speeches."

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek (D) has put her state - one of the most progressive in the United States - on a collision course with the Trump administration, threatening to investigate Department of Homeland Security (DHS) personnel and, if necessary, bring state criminal charges against ICE agents for enforcing federal immigration laws.

From Dr. Oz, Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services

“Just in the last few months, in the few states we examined—fewer than half a dozen—we identified more than $1 billion (with a ‘B’

in federal tax dollars that went to illegal aliens.”
A preliminary audit by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services found that, over the last few years—California, Washington, D.C., Illinois, Washington, Colorado, and Oregon laundered a whopping $1,351,204,127 in federal Medicaid funds to help pay for healthcare for illegal aliens.

266 COLOR REVOLUTION: Mark Kelly took CCP-controlled Tencent money for his balloon company, hid it in a blind trust, then joined the Seditious Six to tell troops to defy Trump. His credibility is zero.

Tencent, a Chinese Communist Party controlled company, pumped money into Mark Kelly’s stratospheric balloon startup, World View, in 2013 and 2016.

Kelly quietly moved the Chinese investment into a secretive blind trust when he ran for Senate. Now he’s part of the Seditious Six telling US troops to ignore President Trump’s lawful orders and warning they could be prosecuted once Democrats are “back in control.”

Critics note the irony: a senator with CCP-linked funding undermining the chain of command of the U.S. military

Parked it in a cleared spot in the yard, and put #3 Suburban on the hoist. Got the buggered-up parking brake cable out of it, and determined that the damaged cable was causing the right rear brake to drag, which could certainly account for squirrelly driving on icy roads. I have some new old stock cables from another vehicle, and if I splice two together, I can make a suitable replacement.

They could fly to Colombia, transponders off, land there, then take off again, transponders on, as a flight originating in Colombia. Might not fool the U.S. watchers, but could make it murky enough that shooting them down would be risky.

327 President Javier Milei formally launched the Isaac Accords on Saturday, a new initiative aimed at strengthening political, economic, and cultural cooperation between Israel and Latin America.
...
Milei said Argentina would serve as a "pioneer" alongside the US to promote the new framework to other Latin American countries, including Uruguay, Panama, and Costa Rica.
...
After his election, Milei "transformed Argentina from a critic of Israel to one of its staunchest supporters,"
...
Foreign corporations with major investments in the Argentine Patagonia include the Israeli firm Mekorot, the Italian firm Benetton, and investment companies from the UAE, among others.

Mr. Ratcliffe is playing a close hand in a dangerous game and I tend to think that he is for-real. Very few Americans know what really goes on backstage at the CIA, but...Mr. Trump is moving swiftly now to shut down the engine of its nefarious activities.

336 Linux Mint 22.2 does not like my Radeon R3 graphics on my old laptop. It mostly runs fine but every now and then, the display will start flashing. I reboot and it's fine afterwards, until it does it again. Infrequent but enough to have me looking for the logs. I did find them. Not sure what triggers it but after checking out the logs, it's something with the GPU, which is Radeon R3.

337 "International law is a chimera."

And for good reason. Same reason nations like Iran chair the Human Rights Council. The Rule of Law is not necessarily moral, as we've seen with the Orwellian Speech Codes invoked by Britain and Canada, gun confiscation in Canada. We should not allow ourselves to be subjected to laws written by foreigners.

338 “International Law” in general, and the ICC specifically, are the EU’s way of trying to pretend they still have some significance in world affairs.

They don’t. They’re finished, washed up, kaput.

339 "what really goes on backstage at the CIA"

Ever watched an actor give an interview and marveled (haha) at how out of touch they were with reality? I had a similar sense watching CIA Director Brennan being interviewed. He displayed the entitled arrogance of someone who's gone so far off the path that he's forgotten there ever was a path.

So I have an idea what goes on backstage at CIA. It's the reboot of an old story of what humans become when they are not accountable.

352 >>> Gilbert du Motier, AKA Marquis de Lafayette.

Thought so.

Mt Lafayette can be deadly. A Massachusetts girl is forever 19 because she thought she could trail run up there in late November. The heat she generated by running would keep her warm, until she wandered off trail in a snow squall.

I ended up fighting hypothermia on that ridge during June, back in the late 20th century.

Heed the warnings, folks.
