First World Problems...

You can't see it? You can't see it. YOU CAN"T SEE IT!

That is the perfidy of the spider! The evidence, its web, is invisible to the camera, so a charge, trial, and execution is impossible.

But I know it is there. And there will be consequences.

Replace the fixture? Of course. That is the minimalist response. Also in the mix is a removal and replacement of the ceiling and wiring. And certainly replacement of the ceiling joists is a reasonable approach.

No...I did not ignore fire. Cleansing fire!

Whenever I have a situation like this, I ask myself: What is the spider eating? As long as it stays in its cave and procreates strictly at a one-one replacement rate, I might be okay with it.

Can't help noting the Haley Stevens flip: she's doing it because of patriotism, not ideology. I think this is how we win long-term.

My FWP for the day.

1) An extraordinary change for the worse is introduced due to an "emergency".

2) The change persists and becomes normalized.

3) The normalized change becomes mandatory. The better older way is either forbidden or is made impossible.

64 Bad things keep happening to bad people. Man, GatewayPundit is on fire today....

California election officials have told a federal judge that Department of Justice letters, grand jury subpoenas, and warnings of criminal liability over potential noncitizen voting have caused “severe” mental health concerns, including fear, anxiety, and poll worker no-shows, according to declarations filed last week.
The claims come as the Trump administration presses counties to address lists of voters flagged as likely noncitizens ahead of the November 3 midterms.

In court papers submitted as part of a lawsuit by unions and civil rights groups seeking to halt the DOJ’s actions, Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters Matt Moreles stated that “the federal government’s conduct has had and continues to have a severe chilling effect on my staff and me.”

I did call the Mom's real estate offices Friday. No-one was picking up. UTSA - sounded like an Indian guy and I worked for a dot-Indian computer company in Ohio - claimed no knowledge of the incident and no one else calling. Sure.

The liberals have a set script when they've crossed the line. This is following it perfectly.

108 CA driver license, even though there's a "non-citizen" box for illegals, I think. And every interaction with the state in any way results in a "Register to Vote!" opportunity which I assume has zero safeguards. Recall the LA authorities admitted they had no way of knowing if a registered voter was an illegal. Which means there is zero integrity to the entire system.

And 90% of "educated" (lol) Californians have no idea about this, and even if it were explained to them (as to a 10-yr old, which is the level they require), they wouldn't see the problem.

The Democrat party, especially in its strongholds, has turned getting around the law, and working out the loopholes to get around laws, into an art form.

When they get in charge, their teams of lawyers write the laws with the loopholes intact and then make sure there is no way to audit the results.

But in my office, which is in an outbuilding, the spiders are completely protected. It's a spider sanctuary city. I leave them alone except to clear derelict, unused webs. And I resultantly have no other bugs to kill, because I let the spiders handle my bidness.

If you want a historical tour of voter cheating in the US, read the Carter-Baker Commission staff addendum.

Over 700 pages of history regarding election cheating in the US up to 2005.

But the hardest and least likely to pull off en masse nowadays is person votes in the flesh with a government issued id and gets a paper ballot. Ballots are tabulated at the precinct before it shuts down and results transmitted in paper and fax to both the county and state at the same time.

No usb keys, no internet, no fake and gay voting machines.

Cautiously optimistic on GOP retention of the House. GOP will hold the Senate with what Haley Stevens did. Bravest public act I've seen as a Democrat since Zell Miller perhaps. Thanks to Manchin and Sinema for keeping the filibuster in place too during the Biden years.

154 Yep whig secure voting is an obvious and easy thing to achieve and is the norm in much of the world. In person, ID, paper ballots, transparent tabulation process. It's obvious common sense.

I consider the farce that are US elections - any involving any electronics or machines other than electro-mechanical punch-card readers (reliable, easily calibrated, allowing infinite re-runs) - a pretty good collective civic IQ score for the country. Thus why the country is an alien place in a sense, deserving no respect or loyalty.

178 Here is what wiki is allowing their page on Haley Stevens to say after she endorsed Rogers:

Haley Maria Stevens[1] (born June 24, 1983) is an Israeli American "bitch" serving as the U.S. representative from Michigan's 11th congressional district and AIPAC since 2019. As a member of the Democratic Party, Stevens represents most of urbanized Oakland County, including many of Detroit's northern suburbs. She got kicked out for being a sore loser.

She ran for the Democratic nomination in the 2026 U.S. Senate election in Michigan, losing to Abdul El-Sayed. Initially endorsing El-Sayed, she then endorsed his Republican opponent Mike Rogers two days before the election. She is known for being to Benjamin Netanyahu what Monica Lewinsky was to Bill Clinton.

Have no knowledge but suspect someone is referring to the earlier Alaska Sup. Ct. case before all the new information came out but recent information has restarted both federal and state probes.

Resistance judges keep trying but their rulings are increasingly getting shitcanned quickly now. FWIW, summary rulings and exparte rulings like San Fran judge did are the most of all overturned trial judge decisions. Plus, a judge lacks the power to dismiss an investigation and grand jury even if a judge. Idiot judge in San Fran is about to learn that as well. Separation of powers.

Rhomboid,
That was before it became a criminal probe. Case is now election interference and that includes jail time. The satire guy that made the text message telling Hillary voters that voting was on Wednesday for them went to prison over that until pardoned by Trump.

That was a ruling earlier and after Scotus ruling last year changing candidate's and parties ability to sue, probably is invalid anyway.

214 Thanks whig but where does that leave things. I assume there is plenty of time to segregate fake Sullivan ballots, but not much more than that. If those ballots could be segregated, and votes for fake Sullivan not counted, the issue would be remedied - on the public interest side. Prosecution of those involves is separate and of course would be important. But a ridiculous outcome where the real Sullivan loses due to this stunt plus "ranked choice voting" would be as outrageously stolen an election as 2020 prez, with no recourse (other than the Senate refusing to seat Peltola, but the GOP hasn't been capable of such routine but "controversial" duties since I as born).
