MORNING RANT - The Memphis Situation: Tennessee Shouldn't Need Federal Help; “Bake the Cake” Rules Should Apply to Pizza Parlor Denying Service to Guardsmen
is headed by President Trump, run by the U.S. Marshalls, and has involvement from the FBI, DEA, ATF and other federal agencies.
The MSTF has been a tremendous success. Per a 9/29/2026 press release from the US Marshalls service, in the year since the National Guard moved in, Memphis has seen an overall 38% decrease in serious crimes, including:
• Murders down 37%• Sexual assaults down 30%
• Robberies down 47%
• Aggravated assault down 29% I am grateful to President Trump for coming to Memphis’ rescue, but Tennessee shouldn’t have to run to Uncle Sam to police our prominent failed city. If Memphis needs a takeover, the state should do it. I hope Marsha Blackburn will be more assertive as governor when it comes to dealing with Memphis than Governor Bill Lee has been. If Memphis cannot be rehabilitated, it should be dissolved into smaller municipalities. Those sub-sections of Memphis that are capable of becoming self-governing cities should be given that chance. Any remaining parts of Memphis that are not capable of self-government should become a ward of the state until they can be reconstructed into a functioning municipal entity. The same applies to Shelby County as a whole. Whatever restrictions there might be in Tennessee law that would impede this can easily be fixed by amending the state constitution. To be fair to Governor Lee, he did sign legislation a few months ago authorizing the state to take over Memphis’ failed schools. In accordance with the new law, the governor appointed an oversight board for Memphis schools, but Federal District Judge Waverly Crenshaw (an Obama appointee, of course) put a temporary restraining order on the new board. Fortunately, that restraining order is about to expire and it looks like the state will start administering Memphis schools. That is a start. As for the pizza incident involving the National Guard… “Memphis pizza joint owner under fire for denying service to National Guard troops” [NY Post – 7/16/2026]
A Memphis pizzeria owner is facing fierce backlash after refusing over the weekend to serve members of the National Guard deployed to the city to combat crime. Miles Tamboli, proprietor of Tamboli’s Pasta & Pizza, sparked the controversy by turning away troops stationed in the city since September 2025 — and he declared in a Thursday statement that he would “make the same decision tomorrow.” Tamboli argued that utilizing soldiers trained for overseas combat in local law enforcement roles has compromised city safety.I would defend Mr. Tamboli’s right to refuse service to National Guardsmen - no matter how vulgar his actions might seem to me - if conservative business owners had a similar right to refuse service based on conscience, beliefs, and values. But that is not the case. There are two sets of rules based on the politics of the business owner. Per Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, public accommodations (which includes private businesses) may not deny service based on race, color, religion, or national origin. Tamboli’s Pizza is apparently free to deny service to Americans wearing their country’s military uniform, but Patriot Pizza is prohibited from denying service to gang members, cross-dressing men, or jihadis. The extent of how one-sided the denial-of-service rules are was evidenced by the Masterpiece Cakeshop case. Jack Phillips, a Christian, was willing to sell a gay couple a wedding cake, but he refused to create a custom cake with two groom toppers on it. The state of Colorado Civil Rights Commission pursued punitive actions, including mandatory re-education for Phillips and his staff for the purpose of making them endorse sex between two men. The case went to the Supreme Court where Justice Roberts and the Supremes effectively punted on the case, allowing the state of Colorado to continue its persecution of Mr. Phillips. Based on the Masterpiece Cakeshop precedent, it is only fair that Tamboli’s should be forced to make a custom pizza with “Support the National Guard” spelled out in pepperonis. Again, my original principles would be that both Masterpiece Cakeshop and Tamboli’s Pizza should be able to refuse service to anyone they want, including soldiers or gay men. But that is not to be. My succeeding principle is that the left must abide by the rules they impose on conservatives. Bake the pizza, bigot. [buck.throckmorton at protonmail dot com]

Either you bake the cake and bake the pie for everybody, or you can choose who you do the baking for in your establishment.
If that means you won't serve Repubicans or Democrats, so be it. If that means you won't serve Whites or Black or Muzzies, or Jews, or Gays, so be it.
Either you have one set of rules applicable to everybody, or you don't have rules at all.

But ... I'm at a loss for why anyone would want give their money to some rando pissant cocksucker who hates your guts?
Fuck this pizza place and fuck the owner. Shit be upon him. I hope he gets raped and beaten by the illegal skells he's so fond of.
I think the calculus is different when you're talking about monopolies where there are no other options. But some shitty rando pizza place in Memphis? Fuck this guy. Take your business someplace else.

" Estimates from various sources indicate that the Black or African American population ranges from approximately 61% to 64.57% of the total residents. The White population makes up a smaller portion, generally reported between 22.4% and 27.9% of the city's inhabitants. Additionally, the Hispanic population is around 8% to 10.4% of the total, with Asian residents constituting about 1.7% to 2%."

As a former Memphis resident, well actually the city of Bartlett to the NE, the city was going to shit back in the late 90's when I lived there.
Racial strife was big. Having blacks administer the city at the time was a huge mistake. Harold Ford Sr. didn't do himself, or the citizens at the time any favors cooling the animosity between the races.

You know when an anesthesiologist hits you with dope and tells you "count backward from 100?"
And then you get to like 96 and fade the fuck out?
In that 96 moment, you are capable of the exact same aggression level as Tennesssee Governor Bill Lee.
I'm no fan of Blackburn - she is a US Senator, so definitionally bad - but she will definitely be better and more active than him. You could make my lazy old all-bark-and-no-bite Labrador Governor of TN and do better.

I'm no fan of Blackburn - she is a US Senator, so definitionally bad - but she will definitely be better and more active than him. You could make my lazy old all-bark-and-no-bite Labrador Governor of TN and do better.

But race warlords, federal overseers, and grifters of all stripes gotta make bank so be careful out there.

We tried that for over 50 years and it's only gotten worse. They never kill enough of themselves to make it stop and a whole lot of innocents get caught up in the violence (Iryna Zarutska and thousands of others). This is America, there should be no "no-go zones". States should bring this under control. A good start would be defenestrating judges and prosecutors who let the scumbags free. Resort to National Guard if necessary.

But are just going to spend endless billions in every city to have the Feds act as local police? These people want me dead yet my tax dollars going to protect them from each other? No thanks. It’s been a No go zone for 60 years and will never not be a no go zone again.
As for Iryna, she had a BLM poster on her wall. FAFO and all that. We talk all the time about personal responsibility right? Want to not get killed by a thug? Avoid being around thugs, helps a lot.

🚨 British teen ARRESTED over Facebook post.
Fraser: “I had posted a numerous amount of posts criticizing the councillor… And I must have hit his nerve a bit, so he reported me to the police.”
“As an elected official you’re supposed to be there to represent the people, not to be sitting on your phone getting paid to do nothing.”
-
It all started when Fraser noticed that councilman Simon Bennett showed up to a formal meeting in a T-shirt and shorts, which is still a big faux pas in jolly old England.
At the next meeting, Bennett came dressed in a suit. Fraser posted to Facebook that the politician no longer looked "like a rent boy," which is a slang term for gay prostitutes.

Beale Street is a few jazz bars. It’s kinda cool but wildly overrated as a “must see”. I spent a bit of time working in the Memphis area (far from downtown). The suburbs are quite nice. The city is a shithole among shitholes. Never bothered with Graceland.
One thing I will give Memphis bigly big props for is BBQ. Man they know how to do it right there.

After rejecting Talarico's body, the testicles disappeared. They are thought to have hitched a ride in a feral hog's scrotum.

Chuck is right. Criminals born and bred in big cities also travel to your very community by way of interstates. They go visit Cuz in the country and do their gang banging thing right in Sleepytown USA. The thug diaspora after Katrina had N'Awlins hood rats spread throughout the south spiking crime levels whereever they ended up.
Back when actual research was done, a guy at University of Memphis mapped crime--for a long time, it was confined in Memphis to the projects. Project housing closed, and welfare housing vouchers replaced it. After that, crime exploded across Memphis even in previously safe places due to Section 8 bringing in gang bangers to the magic dirt of safe areas. Became not safe areas in short order.

I assume locking up criminals instead of letting them go free, requiring only some lame "counseling" that the ruling magistrate ordered (which counseling practice also happens to be owned by the magistrate's lesbian partner), might lead to some small reduction in the criminal activity in the area.

The Jaguar ad with no cars and lots of freaky looking people was universally mocked, especially here. They've now revealed the new model on which they've staked the company. It will cost 130k pounds (don't know what that is in real money), is all electric, and has no back window, so you have to see behind you via a camera.
It will be built entirely in Britain, but if they sell as many cars as they did last month (6), it won't matter.
Their strategy is the Bud Lite strategy: we hate our current customers and want to drive them away, and bring in all NEW customers.
It's a bold strategy, Cotton.

My sources are telling me Talarico is in a mental health facility. His campaign has stopped actively planning events in the vital homestretch of the campaign.
If this is true, this is actually a time to pray for Talarico. We should, of course, savagely mock his smug, awful campaign advisors, by all means...and while yes, of course, this would be disqualifying for Talarico's aspirations to be a Texas Senator, we must hold empathy for anyone undergoing crisis. Campaigns are brutal, and not everybody is cut out for it. You need very thick skin. As much as I don't want Talarico anywhere near government, I also don't want wish him harm, and no political office is worth having a breakdown. His awful advisors are at fault for this. They pushed him to be something he isn't, and it didn't work.
I'm praying that this isn't true, and he's OK. You want to win these fights on the battlefield of ideas, not the minefield of poor health."

Not really, Talafreako's only shot for an upset was to spike blue turnout to eleventy and have GOP not turn out for Paxton. That appears to not be the case. More importantly, Talafreako's disappearance is probably affecting down ballot competitive races in Texas for the US House mostly around the Rio Grande IRRC.
The building momentum in Florida for Donalds and Moore is likely going to depress Dem turnout in that state making it easier to turn the House redistricting there also into gains.

He's too weird and too of the wrong party for a deep red state that has shifted massively to the right in the last decade. In a state where the establishment has actively been on its back heels and getting kicked out of office in favor of people like Ken Paxton, who is effectively the standard bearer of the replacement.
The only thing that convinced people he had a shot was polling that made literally no sense including things like the white vote shifting 30 points in 2 years, which literally never happens.

135 Not really, Talafreako's only shot for an upset was to spike blue turnout to eleventy and have GOP not turn out for Paxton. That appears to not be the case. More importantly, Talafreako's disappearance is probably affecting down ballot competitive races in Texas for the US House mostly around the Rio Grande IRRC.
The building momentum in Florida for Donalds and Moore is likely going to depress Dem turnout in that state making it easier to turn the House redistricting there also into gains.

Their candidates are nuts and bleat so much crap like this that is antithetical to a majority of Americans it’s really hard to understand how people would vote for that.
It's how the liberal mind works (or doesn't). They'll vote for Dems with no thought at all.

129 OT: Twitchy is reporting that Talarico may have had a mental breakdown and be in inpatient psychiatric care. And that is why he's missing.
No idea if true, but it comes from Spencer Pratt tweets posted by Twitchy...
Probably also already posted, but if not...
Posted by: Nova Local
Rumors were out yesterday on X by small players. Now the bigger accounts are getting involved like Spencer Pratt. Stephen Miller, WH advisor, who probably knows the score, mentioned on X yesterday that "whatever Talarico's story on the vanishing act when it comes out, it is pretty bad. "

I used to be a mod on a 2A website and been around on the net since Usenet groups and flaming wars were just part of the culture back then. Due to my job, I also got scathing remarks at times from peer review submissions, student evaluations, and conference presentations.

Funny how at one time, neighborhoods without freeway exits were called racist, because it prevented the poor, but deserving to have access to jobs and social lives among the rich.
Then, freeway exits were found to actually be racist because it allowed racists to live in the suburbs and still travel to jobs and cultural landmarks in city centers, without having to go through "ethnic" neighborhoods.

I think Democrats cheated Fetterman into office.
Biden's DOJ wasn't going to stop them. Shapiro's office wasn't going to stop them.

Pennsylvania Early Absentee Update 10/9:
Republicans had another big swing their way with returns with a HUGE 1.92% gain over Democrats.
They also gained slightly (+0.22%) with their new requests, which is something they need to keep up. You can see in the 3rd image the share % for each party and in the last few days Rs are really gaining.
Overall, we are trending towards seeing something around 2022 and likely better for the GOP in terms of absentee volume being lower: that means a lower Democrat lead going into election day.
Final returns for 2022 and 2024 are in the 4th image."

I believe the collapse of the inner cities run by minorities is a Cloward Piven strat to gain more funds and power.
Trump destroys this plan by just restoring law and order.
They have no more funds, the disorder that they demanded extra $$$$ for is down, and they have lost power.
Note: They will run the strat again and again.

From Hot Air:
Last week, Republicans effectively pulled the plug on Michael Whatley, who is running for Senate in North Carolina. Instead, they’re redirecting their funds to Kansas.
That’s right, Kansas.
And to put this into perspective, we’re not talking about a few thousand bucks being shuffled around. We’re talking tens of millions of dollars in canceled ad buys and pulled spending — the whole nine yards.
Now here’s where we run into an issue: if we’re meant to believe that Republicans will hold the Senate, then that would surely mean holding onto North Carolina, right?
While I’m no swampy consultant, I know Kansas is a far cry from a swing state, so if Republicans are cutting their losses in North Carolina to save Kansas, that paints a much, much bleaker picture than Congressional leadership would have us imagine.

Trolling whig is dumb. There are people here I dismiss out of hand, and a few I'll talk some shit at. But if you find yourself disagreeing with that guy, read it over a few times, see if you still disagree, because he's likely at least partially correct, and if you do, keep a civil tongue in your head about it.
It's not hard. Of all people to shit on, he seems like an odd choice.
