Cliff-Racing Cafe

by daisukephotography


This is why you stake down your tent.

Magical shenanigans exposed.

Joe Biden meeting with his brothers.

McDonald's in Italy is a very different experience.

Peek-a-boo parrot.

Mountain village in Madeira.

Fun but maybe just a touch dangerous.

Update your records: I'm not a Vespa Man any longer.I've found a scooter that is 50% gayer.

Quick track changing.

Huzzah! The sport of the future combines two terrible things, mini-bikes and soccer, into one single pastime that we can all ignore with 50% of the effort needed to ignore both individually.

Gojira!

Cycling at the very edge of a high cliff.

Supposedly, this guy is mimicking each sound that's presented to him. But what I'm most interested in is his Hype Squad going crazy after every show of mimickry.

Racing a car along a cliff's edge.



Now this is pod-racing!



They finally made the transparent computer screen that we've been seeing in sci-fi movies for about fifteen years now.

I have the same thought I did when watching those sci-fi movies: Neat, but why?

We carried the kite in a gray plastic bag out to the middle of the park, but no matter how hard we tried, we couldn't get the thing to stay in the air. Suddenly, I noticed the bag we had carried the kite in - soaring over the tops of the pine trees, vanishing in the distance.

Rapid Strikes

Leftists plan to disrupt the Chicago Democrat Convention, promising to Make America 1968 Again.

According to The Free Press, activists are planning to disrupt the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago, echoing the violent protests of 1968. The group, which opposes President Joe Biden, is preparing to flood the streets, regardless of whether they receive a permit to protest.

The activists are part of the Freedom Road Socialist Organization and have gathered 75 organizations to discuss their plans for the DNC.

The group opposes President Biden, whom they refer to as "Genocide Joe" for his support of Israel in its war against Hamas.

The activists are preparing to protest regardless of whether they receive a permit, with speakers instructing attendees on how to avoid arrest and identify Secret Service members.


The Freedom Road Socialist Organization, a far-left activist group, is planning to disrupt the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago. The group, which opposes President Joe Biden, is preparing to flood the streets, regardless of whether they receive a permit to protest. The activists have gathered 75 organizations to discuss their plans for the DNC, with speakers instructing attendees on how to avoid arrest and identify Secret Service members.


Days after an illegal alien murdered her aide, Democrat Senator Cortez-Mastro of Nevada calls the Mayorkas impeachment -- which is entirely about Americans being murdered by illegal aliens the Biden Administration illegally paroles into the country -- "a waste of time."

The killer was wavied into the country by Biden and Mayorkas:

DHS released a statement. As could be predicted, Rueda-Linares was caught entering the country illegally in 2021 and released.

<"blockquote>Rueda entered the United States March 12, 2021, at or near the Rio Grande City, Texas, Port of Entry without inspection by an immigration official," DHS told The Post in a statement.

"United States Customs and Border Protection arrested him, and he was later released on his own recognizance June 22, 2021."

Biden imposes the weakest possible sanctions on his political patron Iran as possible.


Biden said the United States and its allies had helped Israel beat back the April 13 missile and drone strike and were now holding Iran accountable with the new sanctions and export controls.

"The sanctions target leaders and entities connected to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Iran's Defense Ministry, and the Iranian government's missile and drone program that enabled this brazen assault," Biden said in a statement.

In other words, he won't sanction the country, just specific individuals and organizations.

In other words -- he's acting as an agent for Iran yet again.

Ed Morrissey comments:


This is very weak sauce, and it's not going to convince Israel that a direct response is unnecessary. The only sanctions that matter to the mullahs are on oil sales, but Biden won't pitch those because he's too afraid of China's response. As long as Iran gets its revenue stream from oil, sanctions on the drone program won't slow them down a whit.

Again: A transgender wrote up a 129 page manifesto explaining a plan to become famousby committing a school shooting.

An 18-year-old high school student who identifies as transgender was arrested and charged over alleged plans to shoot up a Montgomery County, Maryland school. The suspect had a 129-page manifesto in which the student strategized how to undertake the crime.

Andrea Ye, of Rockville, who goes by Alex Ye was arrested on Wednesday by local Montgomery County Police. This follows an investigation carried out by local police in association with the FBI field office out of Baltimore. The manifesto was discovered after a search warrant was carried out.

"Ye was taken into custody and charged with threats of mass violence. He is currently being held at the Montgomery County Central Processing Unit where he awaits a bond hearing," read the news release from the Montgomery County Department of Police, referring to the female student as "he."

Parts of the manifesto were reportedly included in the application for statement of charges. It read:

"I want to shoot up my school. I've been preparing for it for the past few months. As I sit in front of my dad's gun case and stare at the sleek, black gun inside, all I can think about is my finger on the trigger, taking aim, and killing people. The gun is an AR-15 style semi-automatic rifle. It's the kind of gun with a long barrel and a stock you put up against your shoulder. The gun is going to change lives tomorrow."

Remember, transgender surgeries cure all of their mental illnesses, haters!

It's good that they are showing Respecc for "his" pronouns. Wouldn't want to insult the would-be mass child killer.

Literally nothing in Joe Biden's claim of "Uncle Bosie, eaten by cannibals" is true.

Biden claimed that Bosie and his three brothers signed up for service the very day after "D-Day." Even if you assume his stupid demented brain meant "Pearl Harbor," they still did not sign up until a month and a half after that.

Okay, that's not the biggest lie. But he also claimed "Uncle Bosie" was a pilot conducting reconnaissance missions. Actually he was ground crew who was aboard the plane as a passenger.

The big problem in the most recent of Biden's Dementia Story Hour entries is that we know for a fact what happened to the plane: It did not crash on an island, with the crew then eaten by passengers.

It crashed in the sea. And we know this because there was a survivor who was luckily picked up by a passing barge, and he reported that it crashed into the sea.

Biden's claim that he was told by the "government" that pieces of the plane were found on land and that cannibals were suspected in the deaths of the crew are completely false -- unless Biden thinks that the airman who survived is part of the Conspiracy to Cover-Up the Cannibal Activity in New Guinea.

Karine Jean-Pierre pretended away Biden's lies and re-shaped his bizarre ruminations into a semi-coherent (but dishonest) attack on Trump. They're still pushing the "suckers" lie.

Jonathan Turley notes that the White House just pretended away the lies and claimed reporters who asked about it just wanted to demean "Uncle Bosie's" service.

As is often the case, the White House simply refused to address the false claim and made it sound like reporters were denigrating the service of his uncle by asking about the cannibal story. White House spokesman Andrew Bates declared "President Biden is proud of his uncle's service in uniform" and emphasized that Finnegan "lost his life when the military aircraft he was on crashed in the Pacific after taking off near New Guinea."

To be the millionth person to point this out: The problem isn't just the constant lying. The problem is that after he's mocked for his confabulations, and the White House "corrects the record" (which they're not bothering to do any longer), and after his handlers tell him to stop repeating the same debunked demented lies -- he just keeps on telling them.

He's claimed that Beau Biden died in combat about 100 times. He claimed that the same dead man saluted him as he traveled his billionth mile on Amtrak a 100 times. It doesn't matter how many times this demented old fool is corrected, he doesn't remember the correction and goes out and tells the same lies again.

It's one thing to not remember what happened 80 years ago. It's another thing to forget what year your son died.

And it's another thing further to not remember that your staff corrected you about your faulty memory of your life two weeks ago.

He can't remember. He cannot form new memories. His brains were always crap but now they're shot through with holes.

Ye is obviously a firearms expert. Another excerpt:

"1 have also considered shooting up my former elementary school because little kids make easier targets. And, I run the risk of getting attacked or tackled midway through with high schoolers. I also hated elementary school. The teachers were evil and the other students were little assholes. I always got in trouble and had to sit out during recess. The other kids would pretend to be my friends but make fun of me to my face. It would be the perfect revenge."

Dudette, little kids have smaller target profiles.

The problem is that after he's mocked for his confabulations, and the White House "corrects the record" (which they're not bothering to do any longer), and after his handlers tell him to stop repeating the same debunked demented lies -- he just keeps on telling them.


Decrepit Joe is a One Trick Pony (pony soldier that is, a plastic-faced one). His one trick (actually his mission in public life) is to make everything about him. Now he's wrapping himself in the imaginary burial shroud of his Uncle Bosey, an imaginary fighter pilot who was eaten by imaginary cannibals. Because he believes it makes himself look better having a heroic relative.

Joe never publicly praises accomplishments of his relatives, friends, or staff and members of his Administration. Other than demanding everyone call Jill DOCTOR Jill, because he believes it reflects well on him that he's married to a doctor of anything.

In 2021, Crenshaw voted on a National vax database, to keep track of who did/did not get the jab.

156 I suspect FJB has cannibals on his mind because he's ordered Haitians deported.

Aljazerra News: The United States has sent dozens of Haitian citizens back to their country on a deportation flight, despite a surge in deadly gang violence and widespread instability in the Caribbean nation.

A spokesperson for the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told Al Jazeera on Thursday that one of its agencies — Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) — “conducted a repatriation flight of around 50 Haitian nationals to Haiti”.

“Individuals are removed only if they were found to not have a legal basis to remain in the United States,” the spokesperson said in an email.

No progressive anger.

The Facts About Beau Biden’s Cancer
Health

June 04, 2015) With mourners gathering in the Delaware Senate to pay their respects Thursday, the death of Vice President Joe Biden’s oldest son Beau at 46 from brain cancer brings to a light a rare, but lethal disease that remains stubbornly resistant to treatment. Beau Biden was originally diagnosed back in 2013. After surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, he went back to work as Delaware’s Attorney General and even had plans to run for Governor in 2016, according to the Washington Post. Sadly, he suffered a recurrence this spring, and his health quickly deteriorated. While death rates from many cancers have declined thanks to better prevention, screening, and treatment, with the overall cancer death rate among Americans falling 22% between 1990 and 2011, death rates from glioblastoma remain virtually unchanged, says Adilia Hormigo, MD, PhD, director of the Neuro-Oncology Program at The Mount Sinai Hospital and Mount Sinai Health System. “The progress has been very limited; we’re kind of stuck with the same treatments.”

At least that's what the Algonquin told me when I was their shaman from the bronze age through 1974. They called me the Medicine Man back then, just like my own docs do til this day.

Anyway, that's why I thought it was a Wendigo when it ate Beau. I caught him with a dreamcatcher, and then found it was the smartest guy I know. Just ate 'im to save 'im from the cancer. I told that dreamcatcher it had six seconds to release him, or I'd kill every damn buffalo on the Great Plains. And whaddya know, but I killed 'em all. Word as a Brandon.

With regard to MLB, I wonder if they include dark-skinned Latino players as black? I suspect definitely not. If they DID add AA players & dark-skinned Latino players together, I suspect that the combined total would approach 40% or more, depending on who is sufficiently dark-skinned to be counted as black.

Youth baseball has declined in popularity in the cities. MLB has acknowledged this & tried to address the problem. You can't play baseball in a gym, and it's a "traveling sport," unlike playground basketball. "Traveling sport" means someone has to drive the child somewhere to a game.

Meanwhile, beisbal is flourishing in Latin America.

In sum, it's a little more complex than just saying "blacks are underrepresented."

Washington Times: Laken Riley's Illegal Alien Murderer Was Set Free Due to a "Lack of Bedspace" In Illegal Alien Dention Centers;
Mayorkas Asked for a Cut In Money for Bedspaces Three Years in a Row

They engineered this situation, deliberately.

They cut the funding to detain illegal alien criminals so that they can then release them and use "lack of funding for detention of illegal alien criminals" as their justification.

Steven Dinan:

Homeland Security released the illegal immigrant accused of killing Laken Riley into the U.S. because it lacked the detention space, according to his confidential immigration file.

Sen. Josh Hawley, Missouri Republican, read key parts of the file into the record at a Senate hearing Thursday.

Jose Ibarra, the man charged with the Feb. 22 slaying, was released under Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas' power of parole, which is supposed to be used in limited cases and only when there is an urgent humanitarian need or a significant benefit to the public.

Mr. Hawley said lack of detention space doesn't meet either of those standards and so Mr. Mayorkas broke the law in releasing the suspected killer.

"Now we all know that the reason he was paroled into this country is because of lack of detention capacity, which you and I both know is not a valid reason," the senator said.

Mr. Mayorkas declined to talk about the details of the case and wouldn't say whether he had read his department's file on Mr. Ibarra.

...

Mr. Hawley swatted Mr. Mayorkas for giving two different answers about Mr. Ibarra's case in testimony to other committees this month.

"Why did you change your story so often?" Mr. Hawley challenged.

...


Even as he's acknowledged a lack of ICE beds, Mr. Mayorkas has asked Congress to cut bed space further in every budget he's submitted.

They cut the bed space, then say the lack of bed space constitutes a "humanitarian emergency" which requires that illegal alien criminals be set free to murder Americans.

Mayorkas confessed last month that the Biden Regime policy is to free all illegal alien criminals unless they have committed a "serious offense."

But Laken Riley's killer put a child in danger and Biden took no action.

On Face the Nation on Sunday, host Margaret Brennan noted that the suspect not only was "an undocumented Venezuelan migrant" but also was arrested twice, once in New York City for driving without a license and once in Athens, Georgia, for shoplifting. Brennan asked Mayorkas, "Did those states and their law enforcement communicate to the federal government that this had happened? Should this man have been deported?"

Instead of accepting responsibility for allowing the suspect to walk free, Mayorkas tried to blame New York City and Athens. "Margaret, there are a number of cities around the country that have varying degrees of cooperation with the immigration authorities," Mayorkas said. "We firmly believe that if a city is aware of an individual who poses a threat to public safety, then we would request that they provide us with that information so that we can ensure that that individual is detained if the facts so warrant."

Mayorkas makes it sound like if only New York City and Athens had alerted Immigration and Customs Enforcement about the suspect's previous arrests, then ICE would have acted.

But that is not true. Under a Mayorkas memo issued on Sept. 30, 2021, ICE never would have wasted the effort to deport the suspect.

"A noncitizen who poses a current threat to public safety, typically because of serious criminal conduct, is a priority for apprehension and removal," the Mayorkas memo reads. "Whether a noncitizen poses a current threat to public safety is not to be determined according to bright lines or categories. It instead requires an assessment of the individual and the totality of the facts and circumstances."

Meanwhile, Speaker Johnson, Our Hero, is ramming through the Ukraininan funding bill while blocking any efforts to amend the funding bill with funding for the US border.

We have to keep our priorities in mind! And our highest priority as a country is to support and defend Joe Biden's foreign paymasters.

The Freedom Caucus calls this no-amendments-on-Ukraine-funding "the America Last Rule."

americalastbill.jpg


Mike Lee
@BasedMikeLee

Tell your representative: TAKE DOWN THE "AMERICA LAST" RULE!

House Republicans can't transform leftist priorities into Republican wins simply by attaching their names.

And make no mistake, that's what The Firm (TM) is trying to get away with here.

I assume "The Firm (TM)" is his nickname for the establishment Stasi Uniparty.


MTG is angry about Speaker Johnson bringing the Ukraine funding bill to a vote -- which he doesn't have to do; he's in control of which bills get a vote and which are tabled forever -- and so she is proposing an amendment that anyone voting for Ukraine aid must sign up to fight for Ukraine.

Mike Lee
@BasedMikeLee

Republican lawmakers universally campaign as conservatives.

Far too many of them vote to advance progressive priorities once in office.

Then they contort themselves into pretzels trying to claim they're still conservatives.

Watch carefully what happens over the next few days.


Mike Lee and Josh Hawley blasted the Secretary for Illegal Immigration Mayorkas.

In an impassioned speech, Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) made one of the most important points in standing in opposition to Schumer's machinations, correctly noting that Mayorkas had indeed been accused of impeachable offenses including "knowingly making false statements."

"If this is not a high crime and misdemeanor, what is? If this is not impeachable, what is? What precedent will we be setting?" Lee rhetorically asked his colleagues as Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) attempted to shush him.


Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_

Missouri Senator @HawleyMO just ripped into DHS Secretary Mayorkas regarding the release into US of Laken Riley's Venezuelan alleged killer. Mayorkas responded that he has confidence justice will be served in the case.

Hawley: "Hopefully he'll get more of a trial than you did."

It's all to register illegal people to sign on ballots with phony SS numbers in vast numbers (30 or so million), then hold them in warehouses when needed. The DNC will then ship them whenever called upon, where-ever needed, across 20 or so state, county or city election board with DNC recording fraudsters at the ready.

Its a weird weird thing but places that have cannibalism in their past, and especially kinda recent past, tend to have incidents where they revert to it. Happened in Kalimantan (Borneo) with Dayaks (even though converted to Christian) eating a couple Madurese in the early 2000's.

A buddy of mine was at an event where Christians were confessing and repending of what they did. He talked to a guy who said he *almost* fell back into it and this Indonesian reported that at one point they all felt a "call", something that they either felt/heard and that was pulling them to come to the place where the cannibalism happened. He said it was almost overwhelming.

Polls, Schmolls: Trump Up by 3 Nationally; Biden Continues Loosing the Yute Vote

A poll from left-tilting Emerson puts Trump up over Biden 46-43 nationally, and 51-48 with leaners included.

Trump consistently outperforms his polls. And he's almost never been shown to be ahead of his opponent in any poll from 2016 or 2020, despite winning handily in 2016 and nearly winning (it's complicated, fortification was involved) in 2020.

Now he's always ahead of Biden.

Biden keeps losing ground with absolute must-have constitutencies.

A recent Harvard IOP poll indicates a significant narrowing of President Biden's lead among young voters, with only an 8-point lead over Trump, down from 23 points in 2020, amidst controversial policies aimed at courting this demographic.


Biden's lead over Trump among 18-29-year-olds has plummeted from 23 points in spring 2020 to just 8 points in spring 2024.

In an apparent bid to regain favor, Biden proposes canceling student loan debt in contrast to his unpopular stance on banning TikTok, a platform beloved by the youth.

These moves suggest a strategy to buy youth support as the November election approaches, raising questions about the sincerity and effectiveness of such policies.

I mentioned this poll yesterday -- most Americans say that Trump isn't guilty of anything, and the Soros DA prosecution is a political hit-job.

A recent AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll reveals that the majority of Americans do not believe former President Donald Trump broke the law his hush money case. The poll also indicates a general skepticism about the fairness of the prosecutors, judge, and jurors involved in the case.

Key Details:

Only about one-third of U.S. adults believe Trump committed an illegal act in the hush money case. 35% think Trump acted illegally, 31% see his actions as unethical but not illegal, and 14% believe he did nothing wrong.

Only 31% are confident that Trump is being treated fairly by the prosecution, and about 20% trust the fairness of jurors and judges.

Trump campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt described the trial as "political persecution" and claimed it is part of a strategy to undermine Trump politically.

4 Trump consistently outperforms his polls. And he's almost never been shown to be ahead of his opponent in any poll from 2016 or 2020, despite winning handily in 2016 and nearly winning (it's complicated, fortification was involved) in 2020.

Posted by: Disinformation Expert Ace at 04:45 PM


Yes, NEARLY winning, until a "broken pipe" that wasn't broken in Atlanta forced 5 heavily democrat cities to kick out all the election observers. At which point, Biden miraculously gained a lead when no one was watching the counters.

"Nearly" winning.

11 If they're going to follow the normal pattern, the polls should reflect the electorate "paying more attention" after summer when suddenly, Republicans start doing better.

Of course, I'm unclear what incentive any media poll has to actually try and be accurate at all, especially 7 months out from an election.

When people talk about this poll or that poll being accurate, they don't say, "Well, Pollster X got it bang on in April." They say, "Pollster X's final poll, done right before the election, was bang on."

No one remembers the polls from April.

OK, I gotta opine on Sydney Sweeney. Everyone who's praising her makes it sound like she's another Jayne Mansfield. She just isn't.

But that Polish chick that Aetius posted a couple of threads back has her totally licked in the boobage department.

I mean, I've never actually seen her move around on screen, so I could quite possibly be missing something. But, in my opinion, Winona Ryder, when she started out, was as good as, or better, than Sydney. Same with a lot of other breasted actresses.

These polling snapshots are usually taken over a 3-7 day period so even the timeframe of the polls doesn’t match a 2-month election season…. Sigh

110 Mail in ballots without signature verification in states where the voter roles are not kept up, which is key to the fraud, still exist. Especially in states like Michigan where the electoral vote is all that matters. There have been a few key rulings in several states with respect to the signature, but the fact is that mail in ballots are not confidential and Democrat activists have largely been running around and filling them out, or turning them out fraudulently in large enough numbers to make a difference.

Overall I think on this environment if Trump loses, and it happens like last time where they just keep printing and counting for days until Democrats win, it's going to be the final straw for a lot of people.

You know who turned out to be an insufferable pervert ? Heinlein. Just read his books, and either believe what he said or believe his comments in books like Mark of the Beast weren't by him.

Yet - he hit on several nuggets in Starship Troopers. Here's one - no vote without some kind of skin in the game. And without that act of service ? How about the biggest mob in our all lives ... the Government ... keep their hands off our personal income.

I'm all for "the vote" being surrendered by anyone, at anytime, in return for no taxation without representation.

If you've ever seen The Big Short, which I recommend, it's an exact parallel. The guys who shorted real estate, knowing that it was a bubble, couldn't figure out why the stock prices weren't nosediving with the huge rise in mortgages in default. They eventually figured out that the game was rigged. Ratings services like Standard and Poor's, and Moody's were giving knowingly fraudulent ratings in order to keep the business. This went on for a long time, until it just imploded. Slowly, than all at once.

I hope that's the stage where the Dems are now.

I obviously wasn't there, but I believe the quote that 1/3 of the country sided with the crown, 1/3 against, and 1/3 simply did not care. It's always been like this.

Now, lets make it more interesting. I don't think the NorthEast ... location of most of that original 1/3, has changed much either. Show me one leader - any will do - that's every came from the NorthEast that was a champion of individual freedom.

178 Do you not remember the packed arenas in 2020 while Biden didn't campaign at all? Almost like they already knew the outcome. How did that turn out?
---
I don't.
Because, if you recall, all the blue cities with those arenas were locked down.
They basically banned Trump from his greatest strength.

The open-air rallies at airports didn't have the same punch.

I keep saying, you realize how insane 2020 was with the lockdowns?
How insane "2 weeks to flatten the curve" became months and months?"
You realize that the lockdowns--to enforce social distancing-- was the linchpin for not just keeping Trump from campaigning but also all the the fraud? The mail ballots, the drop boxes, the extended voting, all of it.

180 I (heart) good polling news for Trump as much (prolly MORE) as anyone.

That said, I think the Emerson poll Ace cites is a bit of an outlier. It's much better for Team Orange (Trump +3) than ten or so other recent polls.

Biden has definitely improved his polling numbers in the last couple of weeks. Look at the RCP averages.

Also, the fact that Emerson College is left-leaning doesn't mean that the polls they commission are also. Reuters has reported some of Trump's best polling, & it hardly needs to be said that Reuters despises Trump.

I think Trump's recent campaign appearances have been masterful-- the bodega, and the slain cop's funeral (while Biden had a big dollar FR). It looks to me like whoever chose these venues has a spot of talent!

It's very good to be sure, but they pulled some of their punches, revealing an ultimately leftist message.

194 >>Biden has definitely improved his polling numbers in the last couple of weeks. Look at the RCP averages.

And what's happened to cause that? Has the economy gotten better? Is inflation down? Is the border secured? Is crime down? Have the wars ended? Did he get a bounce from the horrible SOTU speech?

I don't believe any national polls. According to the head of the Insider Advantage poll many media pollsters have been changing their polls to include registered voters and changing techniques to include things like panels instead of random phone calls.

There is no way in hell that Joe Biden has improved his polls over the last couple months. Things have either stayed the same or gotten worse in the country. Biden goes to his home turf in PA and draws 50 people to a boring speech while Trump goes to Harlem of all places and has a huge, enthusiastic crowd. Things don't add up with the polls.

249 194 Straw-man

The trendlines in the polls are the most important part. When poll A shows Biden improving with each new poll, and Polls B,C,D, & E show the same trend, I don't think you can just wish that away. Something HAS changed, & it's not a corrupt conspiracy by all the pollsters, either.

Consumer confidence has been improving also, as well as the results for the question, "Do you expect the economy will get better or worse?"

I think those perceptions account for Biden's modest but measurable improvement. The jobs data, at least the topline, are holding up quite well. (I think the good topline numbers are a mirage, but that's a story for another thread.)

I watched the first Biden-Trump 2020 debate with several co-workers. Afterwards one of them, a young, very smart and level-headed Hispanic guy, asked me who I planned to vote for and why. I told him Trump. I said I could never vote for Biden. I said I'd watched numb-nuts Biden in action for 40 years. I knew he would fork-up the economy, foreign policy, general domestic policy, and everything else he was determined to fix. I told him Trump was far from perfect but would do infinitely better on everything than Biden ever could.

I asked him who he would vote for. He thanked me for my comments and said he was still undecided. He added that he was not sure he could vote for Trump, though, because Trump didn't talk and act like he believed a President should.

Leftwing Activist Lies to Get on the Trump Jury

They're so biased that the incredibly biased judge, who refuses to recuse himself, is forced to exclude them from the jury.


Second Trump juror dismissed after failing to disclose arrest for vandalizing right-leaning political ads

A juror in former President Trump's criminal trial was dismissed after it was revealed he had been previously arrested for tearing down right-leaning political ads. This comes shortly after another juror was excused for expressing concerns about her ability to remain fair and impartial.

More on that later.

The dismissed juror, known as Juror #4, was arrested in Westchester, N.Y. at an undisclosed time for tearing down right-leaning political advertisements.

Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass also revealed that the juror's wife had been involved in a "corruption inquiry" requiring a "deferred prosecution agreement with the district attorney's office."

Following the dismissal of Juror #4 and Juror #2, only five jurors remain sworn in, with thirteen more needed before opening arguments can commence.

...

The dismissal of Juror #4 comes on the heels of the excusal of Juror #2, a nurse from Manhattan's Upper East Side. She expressed concerns about her ability to remain fair and impartial in the trial, citing potential outside influence and pressure from family and friends. Judge Merchan expressed regret at her departure, stating, "We lost what would have been a good juror."

Leftwingers see this trial not only as a way to attack Trump, but to cash in with the inevitable book deal.

The first juror was excused because the media posted so many details about her that members of her family guessed she was on the jury. This isn't intimidation by Trump; it's intimidation by the media, which once again wants to tell jurors "We are watching you and will punish you for voting 'wrong.'"

A female juror, "Juror #2," who works as an oncology nurse and had biographical details -- including her occupation and other information from her responses to the juror questionnaire and its 42 multi-part questions -- made public told the judge that she had "friends, colleagues, and family push things to my phone questioning my identity as a juror."

"After sleeping on it overnight," Juror #2 told the court she "has concerns about her ability to be fair and impartial."

As a result, Judge Juan Merchan excused Juror #2, meaning there are just now just six impaneled jurors and 12 more must still be settled.

Contrary to claims that Trump and his allies are trying to intimidate jurors, mainstream media outlets hostile to Trump reported details about jurors' identities -- apparently enough details to allow at least one juror to have her presence on the panel suspected.

Trump did some campaigning in New York, despite the corrupt Democrat Party's attempt to stop him from doing so.

Trump went to visit the bodega owned by the man Soros DA Alvin Bragg threw in Rikers for defending himself from a brute.

The Daily Beast is alarmed by the positive reception he, um, received.

A cheery young Hispanic working single mom who should terrify the Democrats had just picked up her 1-year-old son from his babysitter on Tuesday evening when she encountered a crowd at Broadway and W. 139th St. in Harlem.

None other than Donald Trump was just beyond a line of police barricades outside the Sanaa Convenient store.


"I was amazed to see him," 31-year-old Sabrina Vargas later told The Daily Beast. "Just to see what everyone jokes about--his hair, the color. It was kind of breezy."

Trump had come directly from his criminal trial to a neighborhood he might have been expected to avoid for fear of a hostile reception. The visit was the idea of Francisco Marte, head of the Bodega and Small Business Group.

...

The police closed off the immediate vicinity with barricades. The Secret Service searched everyone inside the perimeter to ensure there were no firearms in the immediate area of Trump--who then suggested in his remarks that a gun could have prevented the stabbing at the store.

"If you have a gun, then you'd never get robbed," Trump said. "That would be the end of it."

...


Vargas arrived in the midst of it, having just collected her son, Makhai, after a shift as a table server at the Hard Rock in Times Square.

"You had a lot of mixed emotions," she recalled. "I saw some women upset. I saw a lot of people happy. And a lot of people who seem confused."

But, by her estimate, only 15 percent of the onlookers were manifestly negative. She herself had only positive things to say.

"I liked his suit," she said. "It looks like he lost some weight."

She added, "He looked happy. He always looks happy." She noted one exception: "Not when he's in court."

Vargas said that when the crowd cheered, little Makhai joined in. She was asked if she also cheered. "I did," she allowed.

...

For all of Trump's sins and lies since then, and despite the dire threat he poses to democracy, he drew similar cheers in Harlem on Tuesday. And it should scare the hell out of the Democrats that those who joined in included a working woman who should be a vote they can count on.

"I think Biden could do a lot better," Vargas said.

Vargas complained about crime in the subways and said that she didn't feel unsafe to ride them when Trump was president.


Meanwhile, this vegetable.

Kyphosis is an exaggerated, forward rounding of the upper back. In older people, kyphosis is often due to weakness in the spinal bones that causes them to compress or crack. Other types of kyphosis can appear in infants or teens due to malformation of the spine or wedging of the spinal bones over time.

Root.

Lawyer comes (obviously) from "Law," which is from Norse and came to England by the same way all the Norse stuff did.

Attorney comes from "atorne," which is from French and came to England by the same way all the French stuff did.

"Lawyer" developed as English in England, and "Attorney" started (probably) as a French loanword. They developed at about the same time, and are direct synonyms.

Yeah, the "Attorney at Law" construction is odd, because "attorney" means *only* that in English. In French, not so much. IIRC, it is basically "appointee," though in English it has only the one meaning: the person appointed by the client to represent him in legal matters.

205 Speaking of Sheetz, wife and I were road tripping with the kids (6, 4) and needed to stop for gas. I couldn't remember which one we liked better, Sheetz or QuikTrip. Thought it was QT so I stopped at the first one I could find when kids needed bathroom.

Naturally, some woman was in the ladies room with drugs and I come out of the mens room to find cops outside of the womens room with my wife and daughter in there.

Little one learned a bit about the world that day. I also learned that we liked Sheetz better.

209 What SEPCIFIC dire threat does Trump pose to democracy?
Posted by: butch


There's a good twitter thread on this. A bit long but TL/DR: "But the rise of the new right in democratic processes like Trump, Brexit, Bolsonaro, etc was too much of an unexpected contradiction, and they panicked; and since they confuse democracy with eschatological democracy, a challenge to their utopia is perceived as a death threat to democracy. Since everything is acceptable to destroy the devil, they resort to authoritarian measures, including censorship, while believing they are the saviors of freedom and democracy."

212 Jesse Watters on Tuesday broadcast extensive biographical details about Juror No. 2 -- her neighborhood, occupation, education, marital and family status, and what industry her fiance works in...He claimed last night that "undercover liberal activists" are trying to get on the jury -- comments Trump promoted.

All the coverage from RW media will be spun into OJ Simpson proportions. Making trials harder, and more importantly, much longer to finish.

His sponsors should be getting lots of calls for this unethical conduct. Anyone know who they are? I don’t watch his show but if we had a list, we could protest this.

Boycotts of Fox Sponsors aren't particularly effective. Fox is trying to engineer a mistrial.

he should be charged with a crime. that's jury tampering for sure. convince me i'm wrong about this. it's an absolute abuse of the First Amendment at the very least.

same with the 2nd amendment. it was never intended to mean any old person could have guns that kill multiple people at one time. i hate republicans.

We were fucking bioattacked. The world was bioattacked by China *and* the U.S and millions were killed.

But somehow everyone thinks coof is just something that "happened". It's astonishing when you consider reality vs the perception thereof. If the Left had let the truth come out earlier instead of attacking it at every possible turn, people would know. And they wouldn't just know, they would be forced to say it because they would know everyone knew. It's weird.

NBC News: CONGRESS
House progressives release an agenda for 2025, with ideas for Biden to excite the base
The agenda is heavy on economics and lighter on cultural issues, carrying echoes of FDR's New Deal. It omits some issues that lack Democratic consensus, like "Medicare for All."

The Congressional Progressive Caucus agenda, first shared with NBC News, doubles as a blueprint of political advice for how it believes President Joe Biden can win over progressives and young voters who are uninspired by his re-election bid ahead of a rematch with former President Donald Trump.

“If the progressive base is not excited and enthusiastic — and if they don’t feel like we are trying to earn their votes and that they are important — then I think the horrific idea of a second Donald Trump presidency could become reality,” Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., the progressive caucus chair, said in an interview. “We cannot afford to let that happen. And we won’t.”

280 Is Trump the first person charged with paying for an NDA?

Or if you think that the person had damaging info against Trump and got paid not to publicize it , that’s usually called blackmail and the person being blackmailed isn’t criminally charged.

It avoids a lot of spurious trials and waste of money. First you have to convince your lawyer (solicitor) that you have a case, then he has to convince a barrister that the high court will consider it.

Surprise: Ilhan "Omar" Nur's "Psycho" Daughter Suspended from Barnard College Over, Get This, Anti-Semitic Protests

Via Twitchy, this is just such an unexpected plot twist.

I've been Sixth Sensed. Bruce Willis was The Invisible Man the whole time.

Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar's daughter, Isra Hirsi, revealed Thursday she has been suspended from Barnard College over her involvement in anti-Israel protests on Columbia University's campus.

"I'm an organizer with CU Apartheid Divest @ColumbiaSJP, in my 3 years at @BarnardCollege I have never been reprimanded or received any disciplinary warnings," the 21-year-old wrote on X.

"I just received notice that I am 1 of 3 students suspended for standing in solidarity with Palestinians facing a genocide."

Hirsi and the two other students -- identified as Maryam Iqbal and Soph Dinu -- received notice of their suspension from Barnard Dean, Leslie Grinage, first thing Thursday morning, the Apartheid Divest said in a statement.

"This decision is based on information received from Columbia University Public Safety that you have been involved in an unauthorized encampment on the Columbia University campus and you have not ceased participation in this unauthorized encampment despite repeated requests from Barnard and Columbia on April 17, 2024 that you do so," the dean's email read, according to the student group.

Hirsi's suspension comes after at least three people were arrested overnight in connection with the ongoing tent protest on the Ivy League school's Morningside campus.

...

In a follow up tweet revealing her suspension, a defiant Hirsi said protestors "will not be intimidated."

Clare Shipman, formerly some NBC reporterette and wife of Obama press secretary (and former fake "journalist") James Carney, reports that the anti-semitism at Columbia -- of which Barnard is a sister school -- is "shocking."

I'm shocked that you're shocked.


The co-chair of Columbia University's Board of Trustees, Claire Shipman, told a congressional panel on Wednesday that the proliferation of anti-Semitism on the school's Manhattan campus is "shocking."


Shipman's husband, Jay Carney, served as press secretary under former president Barack Obama, a Columbia alumnus whose longtime friendship with one of the school's notorious anti-Semitic professors became a central issue in his 2008 campaign.

During Wednesday's House Education Committee hearing featuring testimony from Columbia president Minouche Shafik and other school leaders, Shipman was asked to respond to what one lawmaker described as "pro-terrorist expressions on campus on a significant scale."

"I think it says we have a lot of work to do. It's shocking," Shipman said. "I think it says that we have lost our way in terms of what we expect from each other in a learning community and in our society. I think we have to ... commit to speech that isn't laced with hate and isn't just meant to provoke."

Carney is probably more familiar with the anti-Israel and anti-Semitic rhetoric that has percolated for decades on the Columbia campus, having accepted a job in the Obama administration in 2008, when Obama's friendship with one of Columbia's most prominent anti-Semitic professors was a recurring theme.

Though Obama professed support for Israel, the Los Angeles Times reported in the spring of 2008 that, in fact, Obama was a "friend and frequent dinner companion" of Rashid Khalidi, an anti-Israel scholar who has taught in Columbia's history department since 2003. Obama lauded Khalidi at a going away party before the professor joined Columbia, saying Khalidi gave "consistent reminders to me of my own blind spots and my own biases."

In the wake of Hamas's Oct. 7 terror attack on Israel, Khalidi argued the attack required "context," telling Democracy Now! that Israel's "settler colonialism" and "apartheid" regime was to blame.

:: what follows is all speculation ::

Here's the thing, toots: the college agrees with you. Its administrators are on your side. The problem you're now facing is likely two-fold:
1. I doubt you were "standing in solidarity." Mere standing wouldn't have landed you a suspension from a friendly administration.
2. Money talks and bullshit walks. Some rich donors who are probably *very* unhappy with the pro-pali/anti-Jew stuff likely made a call. Their pocketbooks close unless you - the idiot child of an idiot elite who are both poster children for this insanity - are specifically punished. Barnard is a small school with a small endowment that can't even cover two full years' worth of total operating expenses. It can't afford to lose major donors, so *you* lose this time.

74 President Shafik,
We write as Jewish faculty of Columbia and Barnard in anticipation of your appearance before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce


we are gravely concerned about the false narratives that frame these proceedings to entrap witnesses...defend our shared commitment to universities as sites of learning, critical thinking, and knowledge production against this new McCarthyism...the committee is leveraging antisemitism in a wider effort to caricature and demonize universities as hotbeds of “woke indoctrination.”

The prospect of Rep. Elise Stefanik, a member of congress with a history of espousing white nationalist politics, calling university presidents to account for alleged antisemitism on their campuses reveals these proceedings as disingenuous political theater.

Labeling pro-Palestinian expression as anti-Jewish hate speech requires a dangerous and false conflation of Zionism with Jewishness, of political ideology with identity. It erases more than a century of debates among Jews themselves about the nature of a Jewish homeland in the biblical Land of Israel, including Israel’s status as a Jewish nation-state.

Interesting. It would certainly send oil prices into the stratosphere, but how quickly could the USA ramp up production? I'd venture not fast enough to placate a pissed off electorate with a fresh round of inflation. Why would the USA oil industry want to help Biden by fast tracking production?

154 132 In one of Philip K Dick's weirder dystopian stories - I think it was "Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said" - there was a sort of a side track about colleges in the world of the book. It wasn't really important, just there for world-building.

In that environment, the colleges were turned into lobster traps - you could get in, but you couldn't get out. Anyone who wanted to could go to a college or university, but it was a one-way trip. Once you walked through the gates, you could never leave. Anyone on the outside caught giving aid to the colleges (food, medicine, etc.) was sentenced to a labor camp in Alaska.

230 Eric Weinstein gets mad at us, for assuming everything they do at Haaahvaaad is academically suspect, claims there is all kinds of rigorous learning going on inside those ivy walls.

Maybe so, but letting people like Enola Gay run amok in that place, and giving nonsense degrees to half-wits is eventually going to take its toll on the quality of the rest of the screwel. If it hasn't already.

Oh yes, and it will be richly deserved. You *can* run out of social and political capital, and the universities are working on it at a rapid pace.

But that said, I'm totally not on board with all this focus of late "anti semitism" by supposedly well-meaning types. It furthers the general, bullshit narrative that "hate speech" is somehow a thing in a free society, and the Worst Thing Ever, and also "On the Rise" ergo the government, social media, academia etc have a right and imperative to police everyone's tongue.

And, it puts The Jews in the middle of the scrum between anti-speech commies and those who care about speech, such that both sides get to Blame the Jews for not having their way.

Helloooooo, it’s your entire party that has entirely corrupted the meaning of free speech over the course of two decades under the guise of curbing “hate,” all while green lighting their expressions of hatred for the favored demographic du jour. you don’t beat them by fighting within their carefully crafted paradigm ffs.

321 Invoking the right to go OT after a few hundred comments, viewing an interview with a dismissed juror in the Trump trial reminds me of the fact that almost all Trump Derangement consists of a person reciting a litany of things they think "Trump said."

You almost never hear of anyone with TDS saying "Trump did x, y or z" --just "Trump said soldiers are losers" or "Trump said white supremacists are fine people" etc. Of course the actual quotes are 100% made up bullshit, but weird that the TDS afflicted don't even recognize the fundamental thing that this visceral hatred they bear is almost entirely a construct of bad words and bad feelz, as opposed to any real, supposedly harmful act.

The immaturity of this world view alone is astounding.

Eh, people would do better not to commit genocide (though it may become sadly necessary in this case). Hard to get that dirt off your hands.

But your question goes to my main point about Muslims, and particularly the Arab ones.

Everyone loves to freak out about their terrorism, but set aside their strong predilection for psychotic bloodletting, and you get to the nub of the problem with these assholes.

Even if they weren't out to kill, rape, or enslave you... What are the redeeming qualities of the Arabs? The only single thing these congenital fuckups are good for is their food - and it's more or less the same stuff the Greeks and Mediterranean Jews make anyway.

We waste an awful lot of breath pretending these people have value to the rest of the world. They don't even have value to themselves, which is why their nations are all so dismal and pathetic unless they have enough oil money to hire foreigners to do literally every single fucking thing in their lives. They're G-d's mistake.

National Guard Whistleblower Accuses Government of Lying About Millitary's January 6th Response

Via Twitchy, a National Guard captain who served as aide-de-camp to the general commanding the DC National Guard says that the Guard was ready to deploy on January 6th, but the Secretary of the Army told him to stand down -- and then lied about it.

He also says he's been a confidential informer on this matter -- a whistleblower -- but of course his anonymity was breached, presumably by someone he's implicating.


Kyle Becker
@kylenabecker


National Guard Captain Blows Up J6 Narrative, Accuses U.S. Govt of Lying to the American People

"I'm here today to aid the subcommittee in resolving factual errors in the official record of what happened on January 6th, 2021, specifically regarding the alleged District of Columbia National Guard delayed response caused by a critical presidentially appointed, Senate-confirmed Pentagon senior officials," Captain Timothy Nick testified under oath on Capitol Hill on Wednesday. [...]

"First, I want to explain my role on January 6th. I was assigned as aid to camp the personal assistant to Major General William Walker, the commanding General of DC National Guard. It was my only second day on the job (!). Please focus on alleged facts found in the November 16th, 2021 Department of Defense Inspector General's multidisciplinary review into the DC National Guard response and Department of Defense's role that day."

"I can say unequivocally that the Inspector General's Review is riddled with inaccuracies, misstatements, and perhaps false flags and narratives regarding how critical Pentagon senior officials responded when our republic was under great stress (!!)."

"For instance, during a conference call at 2:31 PM with members of United States Army, US Capitol Police, Metropolitan Police Department, District of Columbia Government, and US Secret Service Uniform Division, the US Army's Lieutenant General Walter Piatt, Director of Army staff and the Army's Lieutenant General Charles Flynn, Director of Chief of Staff of Operations were on the call." Also was Colonel John Lubas, executive officer to the Secretary of the Army."

"The Army FALSELEY DENIED that General Flynn was ever on the call. This is false and material on its face. Lieutenant Flynn was on the call and even participated in discussions. The defense inspector's review also rounds language papering over the fact that Lieutenant General Piatt, Lieutenant General Flynn, while on the call discussed how they did not like the OPTICS."

"That is a direct quote, and they stated it would be in their best military advice to recommend to the Secretary of the Army, Ryan McCarthy, to deny the request from Command General William Walker to deploy the DC National Guard and aid US Capitol Police in restoring restoration of Order Liberty on Capitol Hill."

He also alleges Secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy is lying about having been on the call. See the tweet for that.

"We arrived too late. One American laid dead with other sisters and brothers injured, including federal and local law enforcement officers. We were ready and standing by. I know if we were able to deploy immediately, when General Walker made the request, the National Guard could have helped and civil disturbance and restored public order quickly."

"The Army National Guard motto was always ready, always there. The DC National Guard was ready to help and assist Capitol Police, but we were NOT ALLOWED to do our job due to paralyzed decision-making by acting Secretary of Defense,Chris Miller and Secretary of the Army, Ryan McCarthy..."

"This led to a crisis in federal leadership at the Pentagon and delayed the DC response by 3 hours and 19 minutes."

This is honestly old news. Been in the public sphere for at least six months - if you knew where to look. At least a couple links on this have been posted by J.J. in the morn. Trump wanted Guard and Reserve. He was denied.

Instead, the DC police ran this op - with the FBI. Trump's failing was not calling the entire thing off. He's just not nimble enough, mentally, to avoid walking into a trap.

59 House Oversight Committee chairman Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) said Wednesday that he may refer members of the January 6 Committee to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution for hiding and destroying documents.

Loudermilk has been investigating the work of the January 6 Committee, and discovered last year that the Committee had destroyed documents and other records, despite being warned by then-incoming Speaker of the House Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) to preserve all of the evidence it had collected in months of investigations and closed-door testimony.

60 Report: January 6 Committee Democrats Say They Fear Trump Will Put Them in Jail


After election Trump listened to his advisor that told him to let Hillary float on his bribery and corruption charges.

In return he's been under investigation and threat of imprisonment since that point.

He's be fully within his rights (and the actual law) to start the prosecution of most national Democrat figures if he wins the election

69 If Trump does win every commanding officer in every branch of the military needs to be cashiered.

You say that ... and you are not wrong. Realistically, it probably needs to go down all the way to Brigade Commander level. And just chain the doors to the Pentagon.

But it's always been this way - just now worse. The Pentagon has always been staffed by those who politically worked their way to the top. Because that's how any bureaucracy works.

The history of WW II is that. All the doctrine was wrong, and those pushing the doctrine fought like Hell to save their own doctrine until the body count got too large ... as was the case for the Eighth Air Force. McNair never gave in, until he ate friendly fire as part of Cobra.

Ever wonder why they hate math ? I don't wonder at all.

Math - at the end of the day - is the only objective test. You can either count, then count quickly enough to multiply, then do that well enough to take the geometry and calculus leaps ? Or you can't.

This Floor Action Response Team (“FART” aims to guard against a voice vote or unanimous consent vote where action could be stealthily taken against them and their members.

The fundamental beauty of math. I can take two rocks, and two more rocks, and put them in a circle of dirt. The answer is not five rocks - because there are only four rocks.

Language can call those quantities different things ... and do, all across the globe. But two rocks plus two rocks does not equal five rocks ... because a rock is missing. I'm a big, big fan of math for just that reason.

It wasn't paralyzed, it was deliberately still.

They were hoping against hope that it would turn into what they said it was - in other words, they were waiting for it turn into a murderous rampage-mob - so they could justify a major live-fire response and justify a "war footing" for the start of the administration.

The gambit failed. The crowd didn't behave like they expected, because the crowd wasn't comprised of young leftist revolutionaries. They sat there waiting for it happen.

The entire Jan6 affair has been run from a broken playbook. It's broken because the precipitating event never happened. They have kept trying to run it, but it doesn't work because the basic premise was wrong.

99% of statistics, as taught, is simply not applicable to the real world.

For example ... do what your stats book tells you. The classic problem ... measure one variable, track it, and plot it and analyze it to do all the theoretical shit taught to torture the numbers enough to get a confession regarding standard deviation and such.

Get this ... that process is not random. No process is. You'll discover, if you look and can see it, a non-random thing. A valve that sticks. Material that varies. Life is not random to the extreme statistics tries to preach.

Life is anecdotal.

The op has been a failure. The people involved were supposed to be in jail for life with an outraged country unified behind a major government crackdown against an existential threat. It was supposed to be a Reichstag fire. It wasn't.

Yes, they have loads of people locked in dungeons for no reason and from that standpoint, they got something for their trouble. On balance, however, it's been a failure.

293 WaPo, 10/29/22, 'White House rejects promoting general involved in Capitol riot response 'The Pentagon backed Lt. Gen. Walter E. Piatt, the director of the Army staff, to become a four-star general. But the Biden administration nixed his promotion. By Dan Lamothe

Reading suggested but a tiny part, "The White House’s treatment of Piatt differs from the hands-off approach it had to the promotion of another senior officer involved in the response, then-Lt. Gen. Charles Flynn. Flynn was the Army’s deputy chief of staff for operations, plans and training when the Capitol was assaulted, and is the brother of retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, a former Trump administration official who suggested before the Capitol attack that Trump should declare martial law and have the U.S. military run a new election.

There is no indication that Charles Flynn shares his brother’s extreme views, and senior defense officials have publicly and privately defended him as a bright leader who is loyal to the Constitution.

Flynn was promoted and allowed by the Biden administration to assume command of U.S. Army Pacific in early June 2021."

Interesting. Why so? O, Brennan, Pelosi...?

How do you figure out how to curve steps from a distance, or columns from close in, unless you can project parallel lines at the proper distances ?

You can't. Because math, at the end of the day, is objective. I'll be honest ... not really sure what your hard-on is about this. Other than some elitist bullshit.

It worked because, as you and other COBs have long agreed, the left has succeeded beyond their wildest dreams in this regard for J6. People are frightened they'll get rolled up if they defend or extol the J6 defendents - and that is just the case...

328 Is there is plug in or something that I can select (apply) to a paragraph of text, a collection of unrelated words, and have them alphabetized?

First, as Kindltot said there are definitely programs you can buy that will do this, and they’ll have all sorts of useful features. If literally all you want to do is select some words and have them alphabetized, you can be a lot cheaper, though. On a Macintosh, this would be an Automator Quick Action. I expect there’s something similar on Windows, and I would hope there’s something similar on Linux.

When I need to do this, I highlight the text, right-click, and choose “sort”. If it’s multiple lines, it sorts the lines. If it’s only one line, it sorts comma-delimited words or phrases. If there are no commas, it sorts on words.

Depending on what you need, it could be as simple as a three-line Perl program. Even if you don’t program, you probably know someone who could do that.

But I have also said numerous times - and stand by it - that they have to keep up appearances. Criminalization of dissident is actually a problem, and the predicate they were going to use for it fell apart on them. They're having to bend over backwards and twist themselves into knots to justify their actions. It wasn't supposed to be that way, they were supposed to do it with full support.

They couldn't. They are still in power, and dissent is still criminal - as it was even before Jan6, albeit less publicly - but they don't have the blank check they were trying to get.

"Jan 6 did not go as planned and the op failed to achieve its major objectives" and "the Party is nonetheless firmly in power and operates openly against dissidents" are not mutually exclusive positions.

The ice is braking on that--tactically it was a success for the Biden junta to consolidate power after a coup. Strategically, it was a mistake for the whole Uniparty to smear themselves with feces and claim that the public was smelling roses.

Essentially, our elite uniparty has lost the mandate of heaven and what we see is they keep doubling down on both domestic and foreign policy mistakes despite the fact that the masses are now awake to what they are doing. That creates plenty of kindling for someone, probably not Trump, to cross the Rubicon and drive them from power and most probably from their existence on this plane of existence.

Intolerable, thieving, corrupt, and unjust aristocracies end up promoting the population to pick the biggest, baddest junk yard dog to put down the aristos and their families by any means possible.

362 Appears about 30 Kennedys went to Philly to endorse FJB.

NBC 10: President Joe Biden accepted endorsements from at least 15 members of the Kennedy political family during a campaign stop Thursday as he aims to undermine Donald Trump and marginalize the candidacy of independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Kerry Kennedy, a daughter of former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, niece of former President John F. Kennedy and sister of the current presidential candidate, delivered the endorsements in Philadelphia by calling Biden “my hero.”

“We want to make crystal clear our feelings that the best way forward for America is to reelect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for four more years," she said.

Yet Geometry is. 3-4-5 ... literally going back to Pythagoras, is applicable. And you can do 3-4-5 using sea shells, or your pecker, or any other unit of measure that's consistent.

3-4-5 IS Geometry. One of the most applicable, earliest applications. Do you think the Greeks started out with all these curved columns and stairs without, first, making them square ? Honestly, who cares what you think. They didn't.

Not really sure about that one. One of the top reasons for a governmental regime to be totally overturned is blatant cheating in elections. The left does not rule a consolidated country due to federalism and for the cheat to be effective, it can't be everywhere or particularly blatant.

Basically the tools to figure out cheating are there and the basic fodder for cheating in most states is the voter registration roll. New fractal techniques are out there to highlight non existent voter addresses, dead people, and the various place keepers used to keep the cheat from being discovered using normal sql relational type database technology.

A lot of that is happening more or less out of sight of the media because they dare not cover demonstrations of fake voters that happen when court cases striking them from the rolls occurs. Motor voter has one important flaw in the ointment for cheaters-it allows almost anyone to go to state and federal courts concurrently to challenge voter rolls via lawsuits.

City & State PA: 'The Jan. 6 criminal case tracker
An in-depth chronicling of the ever-growing number of Pennsylvanians charged and convicted of crimes committed during the 2021 insurrection,' Jan 24, 2023.

In part, "In the aftermath of the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, dozens of Pennsylvanians have been arrested for their role in the 2021 riot.

Supporters of then-President Donald Trump flocked from all corners of the state, from Pittsburgh and Palmyra to Harrisburg and Havertown, to Washington, D.C. for a Trump rally that later turned violent. To date, 72 Pennsylvanians have been charged to date for their role in the insurrection, which disrupted a joint session of Congress dedicated to certifying Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential election win.

Pennsylvania ranks third among U.S. states for the total number of residents charged with Jan. 6-related offenses, according to an analysis by Stacker.

Charges levied against Pennsylvania defendants include the destruction of government property, obstruction of an official proceeding, violent entry and assaulting law enforcement officers."

412 Some of the whistleblower's testimony:
". . . my heart goes out to all the law enforcement officers, sisters and brothers, that held the line that day to restore public order to the chaos."
". . . the January 6th Atack on the United States Capitol."
". . . when our Republic was under great stress."
". . . the National Guard could have helped end the civil disturbance and restored public order quickly."

What would the National Guard have done with such attitudes among its commanders?
Would they have somehow peacefully dispersed the crowd just by being there in their uniforms?
Would they have stopped the capitol police from shooting someone for no reason?
Or would they have turned it into Bonus Army 2: Civilian Massacre Boogaloo?

Every NG whistleblower in this affair has referred to J6 in the harshest possible terms and all have wanted to unleash fully armed Guardsmen on the people involved.
Their complaints have all focused on the government and their commanders covering up not wanting to do that.
If true, I am not seeing how that is a Bad Thing (TM), and I wonder just how big a massacre these whistleblowers would have unleashed had they been allowed to "restore order".

28 Google Layabouts Stage a Sit-In in the Company's NY and California Offices to Pressure It Into Dropping a Contract With Israel; Google Actually Fires the Radicals

Has even Google had its bellyfull of 24/7/365 woke?

Google has fired 28 employees over their participation in a 10-hour sit-in at the search giant's offices in New York and Sunnyvale, California, to protest the company's business ties with the Israel government, The Post has learned.

The pro-Palestinian staffers -- who wore traditional Arab headscarves as they stormed and occupied the office of a top executive in California on Tuesday -- were terminated late Wednesday after an internal investigation, Google vice president of global security Chris Rackow said in a companywide memo.

"They took over office spaces, defaced our property, and physically impeded the work of other Googlers," Rackow wrote in the memo obtained by The Post. "Their behavior was unacceptable, extremely disruptive, and made co-workers feel threatened."

Uh-oh, they're using the Wokies' power word against them.

In New York, protesters had occupied the 10th floor of Google's offices in the Chelsea section of Manhattan as part of a protest that also extended to the company's offices in Seattle for what it called "No Tech for Genocide Day of Action."

"Behavior like this has no place in our workplace and we will not tolerate it," Rackow wrote. "It clearly violates multiple policies that all employees must adhere to -- including our code of conduct and policy on harassment, discrimination, retaliation, standards of conduct, and workplace concerns."

Rackow added that the company "takes this extremely seriously, and we will continue to apply our longstanding policies to take action against disruptive behavior -- up to and including termination."

The fired staffers are affiliated with a group called No Tech For Apartheid, which has been critical of Google's response to the Israel-Hamas war.

...

The protesters have demanded that Google pull out of a $1.2 billion "Project Nimbus" contract -- in which Google Cloud and Amazon Web Services provide cloud-computing and artificial intelligence services for the Israeli government and military.

Google only did this because of the $1.2 billion contract being threatened.


"This evening, Google indiscriminately fired 28 workers, including those among us who did not directly participate in yesterday's historic, bicoastal 10-hour sit-in protests," the workers said in the statement.

"This flagrant act of retaliation is a clear indication that Google values its $1.2 billion contract with the genocidal Israeli government and military more than its own workers -- the ones who create real value for executives and shareholders."

LOL. Anyone want to bet that these 28 employees are all loss-leader DEI hires?



"Sundar Pichai and Thomas Kurian are genocide profiteers," the statement added, referring to Google's CEO and the CEO of its cloud unit, respectively.

"We cannot comprehend how these men are able to sleep at night while their tech has enabled 100,000 Palestinians killed, reported missing, or wounded in the last six months of Israel's genocide -- and counting."

They got the fake numbers up to 100,000 already? Well done, Hamas propaganda unit.

Google's email took a hard line:

We are a place of business and every Googler is expected to read our policies and apply them to how they conduct themselves and communicate in our workplace. The overwhelming majority of our employees do the right thing. If you're one of the few who are tempted to think we're going to overlook conduct that violates our policies, think again. The company takes this extremely seriously, and we will continue to apply our longstanding policies to take action against disruptive behavior -- up to and including termination.

That's saying, in so many words, "Don't expect your skin color or sexual identity to save you, Wokies."

I'm not. Billions of dollars on the line, but even more than that, Israel is a high-tech powerhouse and big tech has a lot of offices there doing very high-quality work. If a big tech company were to divest from Israel, it would be extremely damaging and cede a lot of advantage to competitors.

All that aside, it doesn't surprise me even transactionally. High tech went on a hiring rampage during COVID and virtually all tech companies are overstaffed. Anyone who goes out of his way to declare that he's an unproductive asshole should expect to get fired. All of high tech is looking to reduce payrolls, and firing for cause is *awesome* because there's no severance and no WARN act headlines.

101 ace, since you're here:

I just discovered this and it's hilarious. Well worth a read and, if you've got an hour while driving or the like, watching the video.

Some 4Channers likely pulled off the most elaborate Fight Club style troll that I've ever heard of. The video lays it out in detail (the puzzle section is fascinating), but here's a start:

"For instance, an example widely used by supporters of the claims draws a comparison between the BAYC logo and the Nazi Totenkopf symbol used by the SS Panzer Division in World War II."

https://tinyurl.com/2ycb24q6

TLR - some geniuses at 4Chan figured out how to make millions on NFTs because "next big thing" and got lefties / movie stars / black athletes and rappers to buy them, advertise them, use them as their Twitter image (Jimmy Kimmel IIRC), etc., all while the NFTs and group has Nazi and horrible racist imagery all over the place.

It's hilarious. I don't think this worldwide level of trolling has ever been attempted before, and definitely hasn't succeeded at this level.

Without any actual express confirmation that they were actually fired, I think we can assume that they weren't.

All of high tech is looking to reduce payrolls, and firing for cause is *awesome* because there's no severance and no WARN act headlines.

Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at April 18, 2024 12:26 PM


The way it works in Pennsylvania was (years ago now) employee gets fired for 'just cause'. But ex-employee can still file for unemployment benefits. Employer is notified of filing and can appeal - and will appeal because they have to pay a high financial cost.

Anyway, the person in my org went to the hearing. Ex-employee is there. Referee is there. My person asks the ex-employee to show the referee his hands which are blackened from grease and obviously this person is gainfully employed somewhere. Referee says, "I've seen enough."

Ex-employee had to pay the state back every cent he had collected. Collecting unemployment while working under the table is a good way to bring in the bucks. As long as you don't get caught.

221 A Google spokesperson confirmed to TechCrunch that 28 employees were fired and that it will “continue to investigate and take action” if needed.

“These protests were part of a longstanding campaign by a group of organizations and people who largely don’t work at Google,” the spokesperson said. “A small number of employee protesters entered and disrupted a few of our locations. Physically impeding other employees’ work and preventing them from accessing our facilities is a clear violation of our policies, and completely unacceptable behavior. After refusing multiple requests to leave the premises, law enforcement was engaged to remove them to ensure office safety.”

237 Trump will be holding a rally on the beach in Wildwood, NJ on May 11.

It's great that Trump will campaign in 'Jersey, but it's a safe blue state. Wildwood in May may have a lot of Pennsy peeps though. And Canadians. Hmm.


NYC is also supposed to be safe, but he went to a bodega yesterday to support the bodega guy who shot a would-be armed robber. The Dems tried to charge the shooter, because of course they did.

The bodega workers were very Trumpish, and the crowd was very large and enthusiastic. By contrast, Biden's Scranton "rally" seemed to attract a few campaign workers.

Trump is being very canny in the way he's marketing himself, and he's making the Dems respond to him, which is what he does best.

And despite what the media reports, these pro-terror protests are very small; usually no more than a few dozen degenerates. The groups blocking the bridges and highways were like 20 people, tops. That's nothing compared to the 10s of thousands of BLM degenerates slithering all over cities during the Summer of Saint George.

299 A much despised former family member is married to a google exec. They have been living very high on the hog based on her salary, he does very well on his own as well. She was let go or will soon be let go. I find it ironic that when he was a part of our family, he hated google and wouldn't have anything to with it and advised us not to as well. Once she had his balls in her handbag that changed. Ha, ha, ha, ha.

If you went to an anti-war protest (thanks for the pictures, Zombie) in the 2000s, inevitability there woukd be someone with a pro-Palestinian sign or wearing a keffiyah or both. Remember all the protestors claiming our "war for oil" was just to enrich predominantly Jewish neocons?

My point is that the pro-Palestinian/anti-semitic protestors have been around for ages, it's just their turn in the spotlight now.

And that, amongst other things, is where the Right gets it wrong.

It only takes one. We call those "leaders". One can lead a hundred or more. We call those "followers".

Doesn't matter that the followers are simply going along like lemmings. Just the opposite. They're lemmings - dangerous in their willingness and enthusiasm to follow in big numbers.

Today's public conversation still revolves around this idea that the lemmings aren't responsible for simply following a leader. Nothing changes for the better until that bullshit gets dismissed - along with those pushing it.

Google is building a YUGE data center a few miles from our house. You should see the electrical grid infrastructure going up everywhere to support it. Not a windmill or solar panel in sight; not very "green." Seems server farms need actual reliable energy.

Posted by: GM27, SEP Field Technician at April 18, 2024 12:23 PM


According to my son, who learned how to code, the solar panels are on the roof of data centers like this. They'll produce some DC current which most computers ultimately work on. So, they may have the panels to appear 'green' but they're for virtual signaling mainly. The heavy hardware plugs into AC but may be ultimately converted to DC. But there's no way they could possibly power the entire facility from solar.

Israel vs. Iran [Diogenes]

There was an interesting story in the news the other day following the Iranian attack on Israel, discussing how "surprised and disappointed" the Iranians, Syrians, Yemenis, and their assorted allies in Hamas and Houthis and Hezbollah were. The attack failed and failed spectacularly. And this is being studied in places such as Washington DC, Moscow, Seoul, Tokyo, Beijing, etc., Just how did Israel pull off such an incredible defense? All know of the Iron Dome over Jerusalem and much of Israel. During the attack on Oct 7, when thousands of missiles and artillery rounds were fired, the Dome mostly did its job and while people were surprised, and pleased, it wasn't exactly unexpected. It has worked before. But the Iranian attack was a three-pronged event using slower drones, faster cruise missiles, and intermediate-range ballistic missiles. This was different, not just in who was attacking, but the methodology. The success of the defense has got a lot of people thinking and planning and, frankly, worried.

Being over 29, I can recall back in my youth the days of East vs West...The Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact vs the United States and NATO. Berlin and Europe were divided. Each side had enough nukes to destroy each other several times over. Fortunately, to date the nukes have not been used. There are a lot of reasons for this, but a primary one is called Mutually Assured Destruction, commonly known as MAD. This was the subject of jokes and derision by comics and lefties for years, and yet MAD works. MAD says that you cannot achieve a successful first strike because one side cannot kill enough of the other before they strike back. Simple. So, in a the bi-polar global war scenario, this was stabilizing, and accepted by each side.

The creation of the Anti-Ballistic Missile systems (ABMs) resulted in a series of negotiations, because this was destabilized the MAD doctrine. A viable ABM system allows one side to defeat a first strike, then free it to launch a strike of their own-- and win. So both sides agreed to stop building and limited themselves to one system. The US put its ABM system around some of the missile fields; the Russians put theirs around Moscow.

Now let's consider a Regional Conflict. Over time nuclear weapons have proliferated. Pakistan, India, China, France, and Great Britian have nukes, and likely others such as South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, South Africa (maybe), and presumably, Israel. In the bipolar years, nobody gave much thought to Regional Conflicts. Why? Regional powers didn't have nukes, so why bother. But not anymore. This begs the question then -- and the reason a lot of thinkers are busy late into the night -- can a Regional Nuclear War be fought, and won?

We know now that something on the order of 300 vehicles were launched at Israel of which about 120 were ballistic missiles. Only five of these made it to Israel. The rest were shot down or experienced launch failures or crashed enroute. All the drones and cruise missiles were destroyed. Israel claims that they destroyed 99% of the attacking systems. So the math mostly tracks. The success was due to a layered defense including aircraft from Israel, the US, France, Britian, and Jordan in air defense mode (oh...and the Navy).

Israel's Ballistic Missile Defense system, the Iron Dome is centered on the Arrow 3 (also developed by the US) an exo-atmosphere intercept missile; the Arrow 2 which engages targets in the upper atmosphere (actual altitudes are classified); and for lower level targets (artillery, drones, rockets and missiles that got past the Arrow 2) they use David's Sling. (Gotta love that name!) Iron Dome and the air forces gave Israel a significant defense in depth. Formidable.

So with this background the question today is, is there a regional first strike option in play in the Middle East? Do Israel's enemies have a first strike capability? My opinion? No. Given the Iron Dome defense, the only system that can get through are ballistic missiles and even then, it is a very low probability. It would take hundreds of missiles and warheads (that they don't have) and given a 99% probability of failure, that would be the classic nuking yourself in the foot.

Now, does Israel have a first strike capability? Short answer is, again in my opinion? Yes, assuming they have nukes. The political and international ramifications aside, they could eliminate Iran, or any hostile neighbor easily. Will they do it? Probably not, but it clearly remains an option.

What does it mean for the greater world? In the bi-polar world of the Cold War (East vs West), MAD was stabilizing, and anti-missile systems would upset this stability. But in a non-bi-polar world, where nukes have proliferated, things are more unstable. Ironically (and this is the funny part), a missile defense system is a way to stabilize things. If Regional Country X knows its attack will fail, because it will lose 99% of his missiles, then it won't attack, especially if the warhead falls on its own head, or an ally.

Crazy world huh?

This logic is also a reason the Poles and Czechs were angry at Obama for cancelling the Theater Missile Defense system going into Europe.

Can MAD exist in a regional context? I think it can, but the likelihood of weapon use in oneies and twoies goes up dramatically. More so given there are other delivery options: trains, cars, airlines, etc. Better question is can MAD exist in the Middle East? Just how crazy are the muzzies? This would keep me awake at night.

Now let's flip it. Would it help if Iran had its own Iron Dome? It would certainly help the Iranians, but even with Russian support, they are years away from developing one...and in enough quantity to cover the country. (Hint: Iran is big!)

Lastly, how do you differentiate a “regional” anti-missile system from a “strategic” one? And this is at the heart of international concerns now.

Some interesting days ahead!

That is a possibility I've considered. Was this just a test of Israel's response capability? And Iran's attack capability? Was it *meant* to degrade Israel's defenses so that Iran can launch a more significant strike later?

"MAD" doesn't make sense in this context. The Mullahs in Iran *want* to be destroyed because they believe it will usher in a new Islamic age where chaos reigns supreme. The Israelis do NOT want to destroy Iran because they value life (though they value Israeli lives more than Iranian ones, of course).

It's a very weird situation going on in the Middle East right now...

52 A tempting target suite in Iran might be their oil and gas infrastructure. Especially in the northern part of the Gulf. There are huge terminals for tankers, storage tanks, pipelines, etc. that are probably within reach of the IDF (with tanker support.) A successful strike might cripple Iran's ability to sell oil and gas to fund their terror activities... assuming the US doesn't gift them more pallets of cash.

Getting to those would be "difficult" as Jorden would have to approve overflights.

However Israel does have a sliver of territory on the Gulf of Aqaba, which leads into the Persian Gulf proper.

There are ways to simulate a strike using some game software that might be interesting.

Reminds me of back when Hugh Hewitt was still tolerable, and he always asked a series of history questions when hosting a journalist to suss out how deep their knowledge was. Never heard one *not* fail spectacularly.

I ask my journalist guests a few standard questions when they first appear on the show. I almost always ask about Alger Hiss because the answer provides a baseline as to the journalist’s grasp of both modern American political history and to a crucial fault-line through it.

I also ask if they have read some basic texts on the war on terror, the most important of which is The Looming Tower by the New Yorker’s Lawrence Wright. It is almost journalistic malpractice to opine on any aspect of the West’s conflict with Islamist radicalism without having read Wright’s work, which won the Pulitzer Prize and which is the standard text. I’ll run through a few less well-known titles . . help signal to [listeners] whether the guest is worth listening to. . .

It's hard to get a handle on the numbers...the combined air forces (and yes, Naval Air) did account for all the drones downed outside Israel, which was essentially all of them. The ballistics were the kicker and the key to the idea of MAD in a regional sense.

Also...noting other comments so far, there is one school of thought that after the events of Oct 7, and now this, the Iranians are trying to drain the Israeli's Iron Dome munitions. They probably spent a Billion bucks worth defending against the attack...they cannot keep doing that.

I went out and found that it had an old nylon string wrapped around its neck, and tangled in the tree. He was literally being hanged.

I cut the string, and pulled it out of his feathers, but he just laid there gasping. There isn't much you can do at that stage but wait and see. Fortunately, he was standing after about an hour, and has now flown away.

72 “How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property – either as a child, a wife, or a concubine – must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.

74 In the bipolar years, nobody gave much thought to Regional Conflicts. Why? Regional powers didn't have nukes, so why bother. But not anymore.
++++
There's also been a profound shift in strategic basis for assessment.

In the bipolar world, the question was not "what is the capability" but "what is the willingness?" That the US or the USSR could blow up the world was never in question. The scale of capability was known, at least approximately. The diplomats and spies could simply focus on gaming probability that either would actually do it.

This has changed, and the Cold War approach to nuclear assessments no longer applies. With a country like Iran, the question is inverted. The willingness to use atomic weapons can be taken for granted. If they have them, they *will* use them, and probably not all that long after acquiring them. The diplomatic and intelligence question is no longer about assessing willingness, but about assessing - accurately - capability.

That's what fills me with trepidation about this recent strike. What if Iran already has them, and is debugging delivery systems and testing defenses?

Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the faith: all know how to die but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world.

Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.”

That's a fairly important distinction. How many were shot down and how many crashed?

If only 7, for example, even had a *chance* at arriving at the destination (e.g., only 7 didn't fail on their own), then that means that over 70% of capable hardware reached its destination. If 100 launched successfully, then only 5% reached their destination.

Good point and we (in the public) do not know the actual numbers. One estimate had 40-50% of the missiles failing. If I had to swag a % for failures I'd pull 30% out of my butt.. But not because the missiles are necessarily bad (Iran has a ton of missile warfare experiences albeit dated) but because I suspect the missile crews are poorly trained.

Always interested in your take on things.
I would think that Iran's proxies taking huge casualties from Israel's IDF would begin to wonder why. Even this strike by Iran was very sterile. Did nothing to stop Israel from continuing ot wipe out Hamas and Hezbollah. At some point, the proxies are going to run out of munitions.
My guess is that the strike against Iran will take out munitions factories and military bases setting the stage for the Iranian people to take matters into their own hands.

++++
Iran will likely never get something similar, at least not in a reasonable (strategically relevant) time period.

They don't have the technical base, and neither do Red China (who isn't interested) or Russia (who might be interested). The abandonment of Israel by the United States will likely be a false prize for Iran. When Israel realigns - and she will, because she is too small to exist without protection from a broader empire, despite being tough as nails - it will reduce Iran's odds of being able to acquire such a system. If she goes to China, China will be less inclined than ever to back Iran, doubling down on favoring the Arabs particularly with Israeli influence and the very big carrot of major missile technology. I suspect the same applies to Russia, who would back off of Iran support in favor of Israeli technical expertise and technology sharing.

Which leaves Iran only with us. The new Israel.

Even with a much smaller country and less people, Israel can afford that amount of money better than Iran. Even with US help. All nations are noticing US actions and the weak US dollar. This spending will accelerate the US's inability to matter in foreign affairs.

In addition, the wider population of Iran is not with the mullahs. They are further down the road the US is now traveling.

So subornation and subversion will, and has, worked better for Israel than Iran.

Cautionary note: A deep state outpost inside the Israeli government can lead to Israel's extinction.

What's most telling to me is not only the lineup of first responders, it's the reaction speed and coordination of the reaction participants. Diogenes can, if he so choses, run a time sequence from the first detection to deployment, but the entire defensive operation of this could only take place after A LOT of exercises, diplomatic agreements, security arrangements, intelligence gathering, and a solid table of organization. Months, if not years of work.

140 Good point and we (in the public) do not know the actual numbers. One estimate had 40-50% of the missiles failing. If I had to swag a % for failures I'd pull 30% out of my butt.. But not because the missiles are necessarily bad (Iran has a ton of missile warfare experiences albeit dated) but because I suspect the missile crews are poorly trained.

Posted by: Diogenes at April 18, 2024 11:25 AM


I would put the numbers at about what we saw in Iraq during Desert Storm/Shield. Iraq had about a 25-30% launch failure rate back then and Iran is most likely experiencing the same because for the most part they are using the same technology.

Nukes are an exorbitant cost center, which is why most technically capable countries don't have them (or didn't). Maintaining an atomic arsenal is a monumentally expensive pain in the ass, and that PITA was entirely optional because of those "dreadnoughts" in the US and USSR.

Neither country's fleet of "dreadnoughts" can be trusted anymore, and many countries are probably strongly considering building - or already built - their own doomsday weapons as a result. The use will probably not be for a first strike, but for brutal retaliation.

That second part is the real key. Once a nation has nukes, the entire calculus on how it is handled changes. If Russia didn't have nukes, or Ukraine did....things would probably be playing out very differently over there. A similar situation (Iraq invading Kuwait) is a good example...if Iraq had nukes, we may have tread much more carefully. I think the Arab/Muslim world got much more cooperative with the Israelis because they are believed to have nukes, and the will to deliver them, and less so because the Israelis have decisively won every prior conventional engagement.

The end of the bipolar stability and the failure of the US to provide security - with more failures, coming more often and no end in sight - any country with a survival instinct and an industrial base is either going to get nukes or already has them and is shutting up about it (I suspect Japan and Korea are in this category).

The start of all this was Biden's shutting down the oil and gas industry in the US. It allowed Russia to go to war in Ukraine. It is allowing Iran to reclaim billions in order to continue it's oil exports. It's allowed the rise of Venezuela. All this is not ideological but economic. Israel's huge oil find changes the dynamic dramatically so Iran needs to shut it down. Turkey is complicit. Helped shut down an Israeli pipeline to Europe. Now Turkey is entertaining Haniyah.

That isn't my understanding, but I could well be wrong.

My understanding is that Iran told its allies about it (including the US), but that Israel didn't know it was coming. I think they told us so we could engage in some political face-saving by shooting some of the stuff down because there's a delicate dance going on at the moment and Iran was apparently confident (and apparently rightly) that we wouldn't tell the Israelis.

But given that they told us, I doubt this was supposed to be a major start to a bigger conflict. I think it was more about testing defenses and assessing capability.

The only first strike that could be effective could only be nuclear, and I don't think they want to go there. Look at the recent experience with Hamas - even after bombing day and night for 4 months, Hamas was still firing missiles at Israel. Also, Hamas ended up having 2 - 3 times as many missiles hidden away than the IDF had projected.

Coyness is for small countries. Bombast is for big countries.

Having "this country can nuke my ass if I move" in the "maybe" column creates a lot of strategic challenges. A firm "yes" or "no" is easier to deal with.

For a small country with big, powerful enemies, ambiguity can be very helpful.

335 Air strikes seem to have been effective in the past.
Posted by: polynikes at April 18, 2024 12:03 PM (MNhXM)

Israel is not close enough to stage long range airstrikes without US support, and permission of the Saudi's to do a flyover (which they may not give) A reminder - the US officially estimated in 2022 that Iran has over 3,000 ballistic missiles in its arsenal - they only used 115 older ones in their "attack". A full strike by Iran would totally overload defenses and probably destroy most of Tel Aviv. Now, Iran doesn't do that because of Israel's nuclear deterrent, but we shouldn't forget that those missiles are there.

That is actually easier to do than anyone wished to admit. Kharg Island. Almost all of Iran's petroleum exports of all kinds are processed and shipped out of Kharg Island, a huge petrochemical facility.

So why is it unlikely Israel will touch it? Because that would not just hurt Iran, it would also destroy Europe and China's economies as well, and their collapse would probably collapse the US economy as well. That's the jenga block that could bring it all down.

396 The start of all this was Biden's shutting down the oil and gas industry in the US. It allowed Russia to go to war in Ukraine. It is allowing Iran to reclaim billions in order to continue it's oil exports. It's allowed the rise of Venezuela. All this is not ideological but economic. Israel's huge oil find changes the dynamic dramatically so Iran needs to shut it down. Turkey is complicit. Helped shut down an Israeli pipeline to Europe. Now Turkey is entertaining Haniyah. Turkey is also not worling in the West's best interests.

I have read elsewhere the Iranians broadcasted their intentions for the attack, and actually were in the Swiss embassy detailing when and where and what was coming. The Swiss handle our diplomatic relations in Iran. So we knew well ahead of time. This was a face saving measure, and social media post attack bears this out with misrepresented photos to show the Iranian population how glorious the mullahs were doing against the Jewish dogs of Little Satan.

80 Background, so more than him having an R.C. client/patron...

This picture, made at a moment when public celebrations of the Mass were forbidden in the Dutch Republic, draws on the complex language of allegory to depict the triumph of the Catholic Church. A woman, representing the church itself, places one foot atop a globe, while, in the foreground, the cornerstone of the church crushes the serpent of evil. Vermeer converted to Catholicism before his marriage, and this painting, which includes a table laden with chalice, missal, and crucifix, may also refer to the celebration of the Mass in "hidden churches" within private homes. The Crucifixion scene in the background is based on a painting in Vermeer’s collection by the Flemish artist Jacob Jordaens.

So when you find somebody you keep
Think of me and celebrate

So if I say, "Save me, save me"
Be the light in my eyes
And if I say ten Hail Mary's
Leave a light on in Heaven for me...

97 Portrayal of globes in Vermeer's paintings
Scholars have argued that the globes depicted in celebrated 17th-century painter Johannes Vermeer's 1668 The Astronomer and 1669 The Geographer were based on a pair of globes by Hondius.[11] Close inspection of these two globes reveals striking similarities to a pair of globes made in 1618 by Hondius. The globes were made as pendants, one depicting the earth while the other depicted the constellations. In Vermeer's The Astronomer the scholar consults a version of Hondius' celestial globe and in The Geographer Hondius' terrestrial globe can be seen placed atop the back cabinet. A version of Hondius' celestial globe can be found in the Scheepvaartmuseum in Amsterdam and the terrestrial globe can be found in The Hispanic Society Museum & Library in New York City.

Hello nurse. You've reminded me of one of my many burning questions. Not very long ago, my husband took possession of a number of odd and ends that no one had claimed when his mother was moved into assisted living.

Among these things were 2 or 3 Rosarys(ies?) that belonged to his grandmother.

I think they're beautiful. But I'm not Catholic (and it seems that the religion lost a lot of influence in his family after his mother divorced in the 80s). Although one of my sisters-in-law is Catholic, she didn't keep them although I'm sure she had the opportunity.

Do you have any suggestions as to what I should do with these? Would someone buy them? Should I give them to a church?

And the "hood" on a car is what we call a convertible top. "Wellies" is short for "Wellingtons." I think that's also a term, maybe in Australia, for what we call roper boots: fairly-low-heeled cowboy-type boots with a portion above the ankle lower than the classic cowboy item.

Though I recall, back in the '70s, thong sandals were known here as "flip-flops" too.

Her feet looked like an Elephant's feet, all crusty and grey and ashy with yellow potato chip toenails about an inch long.

132 Democrats keep control of the Michigan house after key special elections. Two seats. One was strong Dem, and it went 95-4. Yes, a 91 point win. The other is a swing district and the Dem won 60-38. This was a district that Trump won in 2016.

Dems won by 91 points!!! Holy Cannoli!!! If this keeps up, we may have a really great November!

As a Michigander I'm relieved and very happy. Getting ready for Big Gretch to make a run in '28...no matter the outcome of this election I think she's the Dem front runner 4 years from now. She's formidable.

I love Gavin, but will California be cleaned up by then? Kamala would make a kick-ass president; Gretch may be the one!

The post-Trump Republican party is not going to be pretty folks. More likely that the party will go away forever.

These were low voter turnout elections, but darned if they weren’t huge Dem wins. It’s special election after special election of Dems outperforming the polls and previous elections. If the roles were reversed it would be media doom and gloom for Biden and Dems 24/7. There’s a Blue Wave coming, and no one is talking about it.

Betrayal. If I could sum it all up in one word, it would have to be “betrayal.”

My reaction was predictable. I am Catholic, and I thought it was appalling, plain and simple.

Of all the groups our top federal law enforcement agency would write an 11-page document targeting, they picked us. With all of the crime going on in the country, especially in the last few years, the FBI decided we Catholics were the problem.

Betrayal. If I could sum it all up in one word, it would have to be “betrayal.”

“This is what being stabbed in the back feels like,” I thought to myself on that winter day when I first laid eyes on the FBI’s anti-Catholic “Richmond memo.”

My reaction was predictable. I am Catholic, and I thought it was appalling, plain and simple.

Of all the groups our top federal law enforcement agency would write an 11-page document targeting, they picked us. With all of the crime going on in the country, especially in the last few years, the FBI decided we Catholics were the problem.

Yes, Catholic tolerance was re-instituted, briefly. After Virginia re-instituted Anglicanism in the colony, the Puritans there left in a huff and moved to Maryland. They promptly rebelled against the MD colonial government and outlawed Catholic assemblies. The Royal Governor sent an army to rout the Puritans. The Catholics lost at the so-called "Battle of the Severn" and the Puritans cinched down control even further after William of Orange was victorious in the "Glorious Revolution". Catholic emancipation had to wait until the American Revolution.

Ann Althouse: “I don’t like how the Board is conflating the prosecution and the court and the rule of law. The rule of law is an abstraction. Rights exist within the abstraction, but rights can be violated. The abstraction doesn’t guarantee the rights. People exercising power must ensure that those rights are protected, and they may deviously hide behind the abstraction… perhaps with the help of elite onlookers who make abstract pronouncements in print. Trump’s assertion that the prosecution is “unfair and politically motivated” is may be true even if the court carries out its duties perfectly. Trump may be “fortunate to live in a country” that has some dedication to the rule of law, but that doesn’t deprive him of the reason to complain that the prosecution seems politically motivated. Again, even if the court perfectly carries out its obligation to the rule of law, Trump is motivated to cry out about the onerous prosecutions, which are undercutting his ability to campaign for the presidency.”

256 To develop a theme, the bureaucratic mindset is more concerned with authority than it is with propriety. Thus the hivemind which is associated with the later stages of an organization. To them, the authority given to them is enough to justify whatever actions that they feel can be done aka positivism. Whether it should be done is beyond their capacity to comprehend just as they cannot understand consequences flowing from actions.

They believe themselves to be Platonian Guardians of 'Democracy' but instead they do not understand that they are the ones mistaking flickering shadows on the wall in the cave for reality. They are educated beyond their intelligence so to speak and that is why they react with rage at any attempt to reconcile reality with their deranged visions.

For example, for a long time, (dunno about now), Burger King would skimp on doing actual market research for store placement and simply locate stores near where a McDonalds franchise existed.

McDonalds copies as well which is not what I said. Essentially though McDonalds has traditionally done expensive market research before product introductions as well as franchise location but Burger King, not so much. Oligarchic competition like Wendys, McDonalds, and Burger King often have a leader with market share (McDonalds), a follower (Burger King), and an innovator (Wendys).

305 Allegory of the Catholic Faith
Johannes Vermeer Dutch
ca. 1670–72
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 614

Looking past much symbolism for a moment, the model seems to have had 'the Marty Feldman eyes.'

But Vermeer had a lot to cover in the beautiful, detailed painting but I attribute some of that to the fact "Vermeer converted to Catholicism before his marriage, and this painting, which includes a table laden with chalice, missal, and crucifix, may also refer to the celebration of the Mass in "hidden churches" within private homes." (Those who convert to a new or different religion, etc. may go a little hog wild, especially in the beginning.)

Vermeer was & remains a treasure but I'd pass hanging. Thank you.

Good morning, kids. Let me just get this off my chest. Me calling Malig-Nancy Pelosi a warped, venal C-U-Next-Tuesday is, to swipe part of Martin Sheen's dialogue from Apocalypse Now! "like handing out speeding tickets at the Indianapolis 500." Her nakedly prevaricated words in supposed defense of Israel slid off one side of her halitosis-tinged forked tongue while off the other she declared Benjamin Netanyahu to be a bloodthirsty war monger who had to be deposed.

For anyone who considers himself/herself/they-self to be a Jew, a classic liberal or even a Democrat a la JFK or Harry Truman (and let's face it, that concept was and is pure mythology given the actual bloody history of that party since Burr murdered Hamilton in cold blood), and continue to vote for and support that party is insanity. It's living a lie, unconsciously or worse, with one's eyes wide open.

So desperate are they to cling to power, because they truly are on the verge of seizing absolute power forever, that they are doing everything they can to court a voting bloc comprised of those who excused and/or orgasmically cheered on the greatest mass-slaughter of Jews since Birkenau and Babi Yar (words and concepts now ignored in our schools or if uttered can be cited as "hate speech"), that they actually green-lit Iran's mass drone attack on Israel which, depending on how Israel responds (and they must and will) could lead to a regional war that could go global. If not nuclear.

Insanity. Incompetence. Ideology. Put those three words in any combination you want, with or without hyphens to construct one or more adverbs or adjectives, and it adds up to the same thing.

That's Pelosi. That's the Democrat-Left. But that said, what the actual hell is the GOP? The former will obviously get a complete pass from a media that shamelessly and openly serves as their cheerleaders and disseminators of agitprop. Yet, someone like Marjorie Taylor-Greene gets ripped to shreds, not just from the Left but from the Right. Or to be more specific, from the pseudo-right.

She was among those who led the charge to dump Frank Luntz's useless cabana boy Kevin McCarthy from the speakership for his actions and inactions in either blocking Junta policy or advancing conservatism. That is, the will of the most put upon minority-majority in history: American-Americans. Well, she and others managed to replace him. Yet in the end, all they did was swap deck chairs on the Titanic.

With most Americans absolutely opposed to any further wastage of money we do not have on Ukraine, and screaming for our slimmest of slim majorities in the House to block the Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants Junta as it continues to erase our border and flood us with millions of foreign peasants, criminals and terrorists, what does he do? Call for billions more to Ukraine as well as some lesser sum to Israel, ostensibly as a shrewd move to get the Dems to vote "no" and lay the blame on them while getting absolutely nothing in return to seal the damned border and halt the invasion.

So MTG is out to oust Johnson. Is this the right thing to do so close to an election, and with only a one-vote majority in the House? Say what you will about that, but the reason we have only a one-vote majority is because Ronna Romney McDaniel and the Grifting Oleaginous Parasites sabotaged what should have been a red wave '22 midterm election and worse, a wave of sudden GOP resignations that stink of a preemptive strike at Donald Trump and the MAGA movement in anticipation of his return to the Oval Office.

Note, the funding bill for Ukraine and Israel is being lauded by Biden and the Junta and his cue cards indicate that he's eager to sign off on it ASAP, pending the selection/sharpening of whatever color he chooses from his Crayola 64-pack.

If that's not enough, insult meet injury:

The inside story of how House Speaker Mike Johnson was flip-flopped on Ukraine aid starts with his top policy adviser, a former lobbyist whose clients include a number of major companies who have issued corporate statements indicating some kind of interest in the war.

Johnson’s policy director, Dan Ziegler, was–until he joined the Speaker’s office as his top policy aide when Johnson won the Speakership last year–a lobbyist with the firm Williams & Jensen. He had previously worked for Johnson in other capacities, but left Johnson to become a lobbyist and accumulated a client list that included several top companies–some of which seem to have a financial interest in seeing Congress pass Ukraine aid. The lobbying firm for which he worked represents a number of top companies. Lobbying disclosures reveal Ziegler represented many of these companies, including several that have made corporate statements about the war in Ukraine or issued press statements or other public guidance saying it could affect their business operations.

What’s more, Ziegler also represented the highly controversial News Media Alliance, which was lobbying Congress when he worked for Williams & Jensen to push a dangerous proposal that would have severely hurt conservative media. That proposal, called the Journalism Competition & Preservation Act (JCPA), has died several times in Congress but has kept coming back to life thanks to lobbyist pressure.

Ziegler is not the only one in Johnson’s inner circle who has issues. Several other staffers working for Johnson  have a series of troubling developments in their backgrounds, and as of now it is unclear if the Speaker himself is aware of all of this or not. Either way, this raises serious questions about his management of the conference and his handling of major legislative proposals like the foreign aid plan before Congress this week–and it undercuts the explanation several Johnson apologists have offered up that he is just having a tough time managing a one-seat majority and things would not be different if he resigned and Republicans picked a new Speaker. . .

. . .The Speaker intends to set up a Saturday evening vote in the House of Representatives on the plan that completely abandons border security and instead pushes to funnel tens of billions more U.S. tax dollars to foreign countries like Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. In a string of recent betrayals by the Speaker–the recent government funding plan and last week’s reauthorization of section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) without a requirement for warrants for surveillance on American citizens–this one stings America First conservatives even more.

Despite calls for his resignation from top conservative Republicans like Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY)–who say they are prepared to vote to remove Johnson by force if necessary–Johnson has tripled down in moving forward on the matter, not just completely ignoring conservatives aligned with former President Donald Trump who are openly criticizing the effort, but authorizing staff and allies like House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) to attack them in order to achieve congressional passage of this radical agenda.

But Marjorie Taylor-Greene is an unprincipled, undisciplined, loose cannon wackadoo that needs to shut up, sit down and behave or else, or else . . . or else what?

Meh, what do these bills mean anyway when Joey's puppet masters pull shit like decreeing student loan debt forgiveness – for the second or third time already (I've lost count) – despite a Supreme Court decision declaring it unconstitutional and illegal?

How is that EO even carried out in practical terms? And doesn't the House of Representatives control the purse strings? I'm sure Mike Johnson will be all over this, right? Pfft. Well, at least he's tight with . . . Jake Tapper.

Speaking of the border and the GOP stepping on a rake, the vote to impeach Alejandro Mayorkas was effectively shut down in the Senate by Chuck Schemer. Even if it succeeded, Mayorkas would've been replaced with someone equally ideological and incompetent and nothing would have effectively changed. The Deep State bench is indeed dark and very, very deep.

That said, considering that the open border and all the concomitant disasters that have happened with the massive invasion of foreigners as a result has made it the #1 issue that will decide the election. Dao-Min Yen, martial law and/or assassination by the courts or otherwise of Trump notwithstanding, did the Dems blow it?

Here's something to consider. Maybe this time, the Dems stepped on a rake by not making Mayorkas the scapegoat, declaring the problem solved and screaming "Roe Roe Roe the Vote!" nonstop for the next seven months, or however long it will take to find the counterfeit ballots to put Biden over the top.

C'mon, now! I need something, anything, to cling to!

12 Marjorie Taylor-Greene

She is Trump in a skirt and without the wealth. She is unhinged, uncouth, and every form of -ist.

She has committed the great crime of believing that the GOP in Congress should do the things that they always promise. That they should actually represent their voters, and not the intelligence community or the cabal of globalist billionaires who've purchased the rest of the government.

And for that, she must be destroyed.

I have my concerns about MTG. Losing the house to the Dems by shitcanning Johnson would be a typical, own goal the GOP is famous for. On the other hand, what difference and how much difference would result in terms of scaling back the damage being done?

And as you stated, all we've done is rearrange the chairs on the Titanic. I'd say it's time to just walk away from the GOP entirely.

I'm not a MTG fan. But she's right on the money here. Johnson's a weasel (the bad kind) and has reneged on whatever "deal" was made between him and the conservatives that ousted McCarthy.

Perhaps she should claim the speaker's chair herself?

Of course she'd never get it because that's not who the Republican party is. Thus... the entire problem with our so-called party.

Iran doesn't care if Iran gets destroyed because the people running Iran believe that an apocalypse, even just a regional one, will usher in final victory for their brand of their religion. And they're serious about it.

Does that mean that we shouldn't act? No. But it does mean that people who pretend to know better should stop pretending that Iran is concerned that they've gone too far.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but MTG was among McCarthy's biggest fans. She was *not* on board with getting rid of him.

This is why I take her action against Johnson with a Chris Christie-sized grain of salt. She may well still be doing McCarthy's bidding. Not that Johnson is good - he's a typical swamp rat. But MTG's hands are not clean on this issue.

She is an attractive, young blond who isn't woke in an industry that keeps shoving people like Zendaya, Rachel Zegler and Lizzo in our faces. She's refreshingly feminine and heterosexual. She is from a culture they despise and are actively destroying. I have no idea what her politics are, which in itself is amazing given the activist stridence of young Hollywood.

Everything Hollywood has done in the last decade or so to destroy the past culture, such as ruining the cash cow Star Wars, demonstrates the dedication to their ideology at all costs. They will burn it all down to replace it with their new progressive entertainment utopia, comrades!

91 RealClearInvestigations was the first to identify the then-33-year-old Ciaramella as the anonymous impeachment “whistleblower,” something major media continue to keep under tight wraps.

… why ??

Yet there is no evidence Ciaramella raised alarms about the questionable Biden business activities he witnessed firsthand, which is in sharp contrast to 2019. In that instance, he was galvanized into action after being told by White House colleague Alexander Vindman of an “improper” phone call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

126 The (R)enfield Party dies with the boomers. That will likely be the end of even fake political opposition to the Democrats; they will probably no longer permit it, since it would be genuine opposition.

They will also become extremely repressive and violent, since they'll no longer have an illusion of representative government to keep the opposition complacently scribbling on bits of paper instead of facing reality, and they'll no longer have a heel for their own flock to blame for everything.

It's time to prepare for this, and start thinking about what opposition outside the political system will look like. Soon all normies, from "both" parties, will be openly locked out of the process. The real deal one-party state, instead of this ersatz one.

139 The law Ritchson complains about does the following, according to the governor's statement:

HB 601 does the following:

~Prevents anti-police activists from carrying out extrajudicial investigations against law enforcement.

~Codifies the creation of “Civilian Oversight Boards” to ensure they are directed by a county sheriff or chief of police and are comprised of at least three to seven members, all of whom are appointed by the sheriff or chief of police.
At least one member must be a retired law enforcement officer.
~Ensures that misconduct allegations will be investigated by those properly trained and equipped to handle such investigations, such as Internal Affairs Departments or the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission (CJSTC).
~Increases all county sheriffs’ base salaries by $5,000 for each population group.


In short, it makes investigations of minor league police misconduct allegations a professional responsibility issue and not a political witch-hunt.

Of course, allegations of criminal misconduct are, as always, left to prosecutors.

Yet, she seems timid when push comes to shove. She should be less concerned with Republican tenure and more concerned with destroying people like speaker Johnson.

In all seriousness, if she'd be a bit more of a bitch she might be able to give Pelosi a run for her money.

185 "White Christian Nationalism: Threat or mirage?"

The White Christian Nationalism bogeyman is the latest move by the Leftists to splinter white voters. They led-off with "People in Flyover Country," moved-on to "Teabaggers," then "MAGA," then "White Supremacists," and are now are politically distilling evil Whites down to "White Christian Nationalists."

The Leftists know they still need a lot of white voters. More than ever this year if a lot of minorities switch to voting Republican. So they're working to get more and more whites to say themselves, "Hey, I'm not a Christian. I'm not one of the hillbillies the Media hates and the FBI tells me are evil rayciss killers in white sheets! I'm not a threat to People of Color, Trannys, and Our Precious Democracy. I don't want to prohibit all abortions. I'd better vote Democrat to prove I'm a good White Person and keep those evil Rayciss White Christian Fundamentalist MAGA Anti-Abortion loons from gaining power!"

This reportedly sparked an internal “drag audit,” resulting in the elimination of drag performances from the Smithsonian’s 2024 calendar. Smithsonian staff members who wished to remain anonymous have interpreted this as an act of censorship by Bunch and his team. . .

219 Leading Report @LeadingReport 10h
BREAKING: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has introduced multiple amendments to the Ukraine aid bill.

One requiring members to “conscript in the Ukrainian military” if they vote for the Ukraine supplemental bill.

Two that would divert 100% of the funds to support the victims of East Palestine, Ohio, and Maui, Hawaii.

220 Donald Trump wanted the riot to succeed and install him as President..(that is why he did nothing to stop it). It is the bottom line about Donald Trump.. * It is all about him and only him." He had the power to stop the riot right away, and he didn't. (if the riot injured people or killed them, I don't think Trump cared at all. It was all about installing him as President.

100% and he didn't care how many died from covid on his watch. He is a really sick individual.

He wanted enough violence to justify - The Insurrection Act, put troops on the ground and declare martial law.

someone testified at the J6 hearings that some advisors and SS refused to take Trump to the Capitol on J6 because they feared that he would use the chaos to dissolve Congress and declare himself the official winner. That would have amounted to installing himself as dictator with no Congressional opposition. His militias were present with an arms stash to enforce his declaration against protests.

Another weird comment. Treasonous contact with Chinese military leaders promising to alert them to American plans doesn't work for you?

Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has been deluged with criticism for his Oct. 30 conversation with Chinese Gen. Gen. Li Zuocheng, which was chronicled by authors Bob Woodward and Robert Costa in their new book “Peril.”

At issue is what exactly Milley told Li to assure him that then-President Donald Trump had no plans to order a pre-emptive strike against China.

“General Li, you and I have known each other for now five years,” the book claims Milley told Li, according to the Washington Post. “If we’re going to attack, I’m going to call you ahead of time. It’s not going to be a surprise.”

Funnily enough, a friend's daughter worked for Westfield up until about a year ago, when she changed firms, and the Westfield owner was described to me as obnoxiously and hypocritically woke as you can imagine. She particularly mocked him for whining constantly about Climate Change while flying all over in his private jets, and claiming he wants to pay more taxes but moving from Boston to Wyoming.

Try telling the guy you're done with the drama. Stop covering for his excuses. Put the pressure on him to change his behavior instead of carrying his water. We need a competent and angry Trump in the White House, not another four years of trolling.

313 Where does Trump get his power? The people in the blogs and other social media. If you stop making excuses for him, he will change his behavior. He's a salesman. You are giving him the power to continue being a troll and while you think that's hilarious, a good portion of the country does not and will not vote for it. They find it offensive and horrible. You can say tough, but they are really deciding between an imbecile who craps his pants in public and wanders lost at news conferences and can't finish a sentence and has destroyed the economy and Trump. They're still on the fence. It's worth damping it down a little to get those votes.

And for the record, I don't care about the trolling as long as it's effective. It's lost its effectiveness. People are tired of the routine. They want someone strong and serious. They want reassurance.

323 Cont'd - United World International, 1/17/24 - US is preparing a Marshall Plan for Ukraine In part,

"The US think tank RAND Corporation, the so-called “shadow CIA”, has published a report outlining the main methods for the reconstruction of post-war Ukraine by the Western bloc. The report emphasized that the US should be the country to militarily “defend” Ukraine.

The idea that “the Russian-Ukrainian war is nearing its end” has started a debate on post-war policies. The article, prepared by the US-based think tank RAND Corporation, calls for the EU to shoulder the financial burden of reconstruction and for the US to provide military protection...."

Yale Insights, Faculty Viewpoints, 02/15/24, 'What the U.S. Has to Gain from Supporting Ukraine Prof. Jeffrey Sonnnenfeld and co-author Steven Tian write that spending on weapons and aid boosts the U.S. economy, strengthens the NATO alliance, and weakens the Russian war machine'

But, the most fascinating thing to me, when I look back at Trump's impeachment, is how precisely it ties in to defense contractors. Absolute, strategic, progressive theater.

Israel War

Lebanon and Hezbollah will most likely be Israel's second front in this war, and it will be even nastier than Gaza. Luckily southern Lebanon doesn't have Gaza's population density, but Hezbollah has more rockets, and has had even more time to prepare the battle space. They claim to have 100,000 terrorist fighters, although saner estimates suggest that it is more like 20,000-40,000. They have been trained and supplied by Iran's IRGC, with more than 150,000 rockets, drones, and missiles of various sophistication, and significant numbers of anti-tank weapons. They also have some air defense capability, which complicates Israel's planning.

Drone and missile attack in northern Israel: 14 soldiers wounded, 4 civilians

Hezbollah is Iran's attack dog in the north, and has kept the Lebanese border simmering. Whether they launch significant attacks is going to be the big question, especially if Israel responds to Iran's recent missile attacks.

But Israel cannot allow a huge terrorist presence to remain on its borders if they are serious about "Never Again." Hezbollah should be next.

US approves Rafah op. in exchange for no Israeli counterstrikes on Iran - report

Yeah..."report" is usually nonsense, but who knows. Rafah is a vital target. Without it being controlled by the IDF, Hamas will regroup and return to their savage ways.

As galling as it is for the Biden junta to attempt to control Israel's military response to both the October 7th pogrom and the Iranian attack, it might be politically advantageous...for the time being...to refrain from any overt attacks on Iran. Covert is another story, and as I have said before; Israel should ramp that up.

Except...Israel unlikely to retaliate against Iran until after Passover - report

Left-wing journalist: If the Right wins, we won't accept the results of the elections

In an interview with Galei Israel radio, the host asked Edelist, "Let's say we hold elections today, the Right wins and forms a government. Will you accept the decision of the public, or will you go out again to burn the streets?"

Edelist responded, "No, we certainly won't accept [that]. We will certainly continue with the same protest, as we are doing now. There's no argument about that now."


Whoops! He said the quiet part out loud!

The left in Israel is every bit as evil as the left anywhere else. They care not a whit about the security of the state of Israel, and are willing to embrace any ally of convenience in their naked pursuit of power.

In the half-century following the establishment of a formal Ellis Island bureau in 1904, HIAS helped more than 100,000 Jewish immigrants who might otherwise have been turned away.

Good.

HIAS has offices in the United States and across Latin America, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Since its inception, HIAS has helped resettle more than 4.5 million people.

Not good.

HIAS uses taxpayer dollars to influence, support, and resettle illegal aliens. Almost 50 percent of HIAS funding comes directly from the U.S. government (taxpayers) in the form of grants. Since 2018, contributions to HIAS, including U.S. government funding, have ballooned from $46.5 million in 2018 to almost $146 million in 2022.

More information. I suspect some $oros dollars, too.

I remember, back when this whole thing started, some people suggested that Mossad knew in advance about the attack and did nothing to discredit Netanyahu. This was roundly poo-poo'ed. Knowing what we know about the deep state in this country, particularly their indifference, at best, to the suffering of the citizenry, is anyone prepared to consider that this might have been the case?

A flurry of partisan researchers online dug into the group’s background, trying to identify potential links to a variety of U.S. and left-wing campaigns and causes. The flyers briefly mentioned the Jewish humanitarian organization HIAS, on whose board Mayorkas once sat. That connection drove additional claims that both HIAS and the Biden administration were using the flyers to try to rig the election.

This is what put HIAS on my radar. Possible false flag to stir anti-Jew sentiment?

More likely a two-fer.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

37 From Ms Hoyt at Insty, commenting:
SO, ABOUT ALL THOSE CANCERS: Evidence is provided that adding 100 % of N1-methyl-pseudouridine (m1Ψ to the mRNA vaccine in a melanoma model stimulated cancer growth and metastasis.

t has been discovered that the mRNA vaccines inhibit essential immunological pathways, thus impairing early interferon signaling. Within the framework of COVID-19 vaccination, this inhibition ensures an appropriate spike protein synthesis and a reduced immune activation. Evidence is provided that adding 100 % of N1-methyl-pseudouridine (m1Ψ to the mRNA vaccine in a melanoma model stimulated cancer growth and metastasis, while non-modified mRNA vaccines induced opposite results, thus suggesting that COVID-19 mRNA vaccines could aid cancer development.

Did people miss where this was on the package? This is what they said it did- while at the same time saying it was a vaccine. It is not a vaccine, it is an immunosuppressant.

A Portion Of George Washington's Farewell Speech

The unity of government which constitutes you
one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so; for
it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real
independence, the support of your tranquility at
home, your peace abroad, of your safety, of your
prosperity, of that very liberty which you so highly
prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different
causes and from different quarters, much pains will
be taken, many artifices employed, to weaken in your
minds the conviction of this truth; as this is the point
in your political fortress against which the batteries
of internal and external enemies will be most
constantly and actively (though often covertly and
insidiously) directed, it is of infinite moment that you
should properly estimate the immense value of your
national Union to your collective and individual
happiness; that you should cherish a cordial,
habitual, and immovable attachment to it;
accustoming yourselves to think and speak of it as of
the palladium of your political safety and prosperity;
watching for its preservation with jealous anxiety;
discountenancing whatever may suggest even a
suspicion that it can in any event be abandoned, and
indignantly frowning upon the first dawning of every
attempt to alienate any portion of our country from
the rest, or to enfeeble the sacred ties which now link
together the various parts.

Joe Biden — while speaking to the press in Scranton, Pennsylvania earlier on Wednesday — delved into a strange tangent about his late uncle, Ambrose Finnegan, possibly having been eaten by cannibals. The 81-year-old Biden described how Finnegan — whom he referred to as “Uncle Bosie” — was a U.S. airman during World War II who crashed near the Melanesian island of New Guinea in the Pacific Ocean.

A religion that calls us The Great Satan and chants for our death, I take seriously. Unlike the following expert.

“The Islamic republic thrives on a state of conflict, not war,” said Behnam Ben Taleblu, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies think tank. “Tehran accomplished the lion’s share of its goals against Israel in the week before it launched missiles. Literally, the world was watching and waiting on Iran, forced to take their threats seriously due to their increasing drone and missile use in the region. This was a status boon and a security boon.”

Would Bluebell or vmom stab or shiv the guy first? Or the other girls and then the guy? I don't think there's a scenario here that doesn't end up making the local undertaker rich.

31 Seems really unfair to the ladies, but I bet the old "one man, 19 woman" scheme worked better than whatever hellish nightmare these people are trying to pull off.

It seems this became normal after the adoption of agriculture. Partly because a man with a large...plot...was irresistable to the ladies but more because the tribes farming were conquering those around them that were not and taking the non-farmer's women.

Well the decorations on the beach are almost done. The village ladies are cutting up two ginormous hog hind quarters that have been boiled and scraped. Some of the best work you'll ever eat in your life. Crispy lechon, a couple of other pork dishes, yellowfin on the grill, acres of fresh fruits and vegetables, rice, pancit, ube cake, enough alcohol to drown a couple of elephants...

What's in the pic above, is a "45 Inch" Harley, (750cc), which was the common WWII era engine, and that found in the Servi-Car trikes, beloved of Parking Meter cops, far and wide.

Literally, the world was watching and waiting on Iran, forced to take their threats seriously due to their increasing drone and missile use in the region. This was a status boon and a security boon.”


What a crock of crap.
Tehran tipped their hand, trying to be all badass. Only Israel needed to take their threats seriously because they are the only target Iran has for now. Iran is a laughing stock, and got their butts handed to them. Does this make them more dangerous? Maybe, given their unpredictably. Thats why nations pay attention to them. They are a regional danger.

I watched Decrepit Joe's performance today, live. It was like watching a pendulum slowing, slowing, and finally stopping its swing. He was so out of commission at the end he forgot or didn't have the energy to say his standard closing line, "May God bless America and may God protect our troops!"

He is continually getting more decrepit. For his acceptance speech at the Dem National Convention in August they'll pump him full of the drug cocktail used for his SOTU performance. Other than that they'll keep him in a traveling 2020 Delaware basement-mode of doing day-trips to give speeches to small groups of trained seals like the United Steel Workers today, or meeting with rich Leftist donors at private campaign events.

Joe has not done an overseas trip since going to Tel Aviv in mid-October. And that was an unscheduled trip, only made because of the Hamas attacks on October 7th, 2023. I believe the current period is Joe POTUS's longest period of not leaving the US.

Plenty of gore and violence, with some sex thrown in, so it may not not appeal to some folks here, but I liked it.

284 I wonder how much of this is due to no one buying a full album anymore, and therefore it's possible that musicians are relying on live events for income.

Exactly. Concerts used to be promos for albums, and a ticket to a currently top band cost about as much as one album. Now the released music is mostly a promo for concert tickets. And the new stuff doesn't really sell much either by past standards which is why a new Brucie album or a remaster of a 50 year old record usually goes straight to No. 1 these days

Shit! I thought that was just a Randy Andy NY tyranny.

If Ford had a factory in Germany pre-WWII, the Reich would have taken it over and run it, one way or the other. Most of the German trucks were the Opel "Blitz" trucks. Ford also built Model AA trucks in Russia, which were sadly outdated by 1939. Which is why the 160,000 Studebaker US6 trucks sent to Russia were so much appreciated by Joe Stalin.

337 I have an actual allergy to the Cellulose (cell walls) from most of the Onion family of ...well...onions.

Leeks, Shallots, Green Onion, and etc.

But, the more it's cooked down to a near-liquid state, the less it bothers me.

RAW onion is like biting into a Live, 9v battery. Instant chemical shock reaction. So... I don't.

That said? I can cut and dice onion all day. Sautee it and serve it as well as you please. And never shed a tear.

Garlic doesn't seem to bother me.

And in soups? I'll mince a tablespoon of onion to be SO fine, that the ball of a ballpoint pen is a BOULDER in comparison. But, the soup needs the flavor. MY way, reduces that onion to LIQUID (total breakdown of the cellulose walls) in about six hours of simmering.

I don't wanna hear about that teacher's "allergies".

She's allergic to corn? The parents need to claim being allergic to STUPID, thus forcing her to leave their kid's classroom.

422 Today, I turned by hand to auto upholstery. (Is there such a thing as "downholstery"?) The car I'm currently playing with is a '51 Studebaker 2-door sedan, and as such has a front seat with a hinged back, for entry to the rear area. It also had seat springs and frames, and zero upholstery at all. Years out in the Arizona sun will do that. So, a few years back, I brought down seats from a '52 4-door that I had parted out. Seat covering fabric is torn and rotten, but the mostly cotton padding is intact and usable. Of course, the front seat had a fixed one-piece backrest. Today, I stripped the padding and cover off the front seat backrest. There was a layer of burlap between the padding and springs, still quite sound, surprisingly. I cut the burlap in half, and hog-ringed it to the two individual backrest springs, and then began doing the same with the padding and cover. May reinforce with scrap towels or whatever. Once that is done, new covers made of Mexican blankets will get glued and hog-ringed in place. Glue to keep it from slipping around, and hog rings to retain the edges. No sewing involved. I did this with the seats for my '60 Lark, and it is holding up well.

433 Alcohol is not advisable with many drugs as they are metabolized by the liver by the same enzyme systems as alcohol. Mostly nitrogen-containing drugs (which is most of them). So Tylenol (acetaminophen, paracetamol), Ibuprofen, opioids, diazepam (Valium, Librium, etc.), and Barbiturates are all no-nos.
Combining these drugs with ethanol destroys the liver. People abusing prescription opioids often die this way since the pills are combos with oxycodone and acetaminophen. So the authorities will say "opioid death" but it was the other drug added to prevent overdosing for pleasure.
"We don't want you to have a lot of pleasure by taking several pills at once so we are going to poison them such that if you do take too many then you DIE of liver failure." -- A very Puritanical approach I think.

Well, we are day drinking on the beach. Can't get showered and dressed up too soon and we'll just sweat everything out. Makeup artist is cleaning up the bridesmaids. Photo video crew has got a drone up, photographing the beach setup. The singer who is damn good is warming up and working the crowd. 90% of this island, at least the east side, out in the Philippines Sea is here. A substantial portion of the Ilocano region of the Northern Philippines as well. Somehow are simple renewal of vows on the beach with family has turned into the wedding event of the season anywhere north of Manila. Every boy on the island hates my wife because every girl on the island was over here this morning doing all the decorating and by the gleam in their eyes,

Oddly enough, (and odd to me) I am considered the McCulloch of the McCullochs.

None of my older cousins want to deal with this, because it is a kind of nonsense.

I had a really really s***** life, at least the adult portion 95% entirely my own fault, and tell I broke down cried like a baby and repented and of all places a rural Swiss church. Two weeks later I met the woman who became my wife and my life, well, I don't even have the words to express the gifts that God gave me and helping me to not be such a shitball and giving me the opportunity to meet this woman. God didn't give her to me God gave me the opportunity to meet her and win her heart. For whatever reason, she chose me. My life has never been the same and I am forever blessed.

496 Of course, 81 year old Joe Biden, born in 1943, would never have actually met his deceased uncle. Not even as an infant.
Joe has been making things up, to feed the more gullible and wishful thinking among us, for his entire, grifting adult life. This fable about his uncle, even the part where he calls the unfortunate relative by a name that Biden never knew until yesterday, when his handlers wrote that script for him, is one more fabrication in the story line of a very pathetic and intellectually challenged mediocrity.

Biden just told this story again for the second time today: He claimed his uncle was a pilot, was shot down over Guinea and eaten by cannibals.

Ambrose Finnegan was a passenger on a plane that was ditched due to engine failure and he drowned in the ocean.

RNC Research @RNCResearch 1h
Biden, for the third time in less than 24 hours, tells the dubious story about his "Uncle Bosey" and "a lot of cannibals" in New Guinea before repeating the debunked "suckers and losers" hoax.

He also claims D-Day was on a Sunday (it was on a Tuesday).

HE IS NOT WELL.

I need more information on this.

I assume she got a cochlear implant (maybe two by the way she shows both ears), but wouldn't the best friend know that?

You can't really hide the bandages and enormous cups you have to wear for weeks after receiving the surgery. Not to mention that she seems to have had surgery on both ears at once, which I doubt happens.

I'm... skeptical. Maybe she just needed the lesser amplification of hearing aids after a lifetime of struggling. Wait, that doesn't make sense, either.

I think it's fake for monetization, but I'll go with the premise of the video that she's deaf and got two cochlear implants without her best friend knowing. Which is even crazier now that I write it out because there are so many things that have to be medically cleared before the surgery that I can't believe a young woman wouldn't share that with her best friend, especially once it was approved.

If she heard as a child but became deaf after she had heard sounds and language in the past then she could almost certainly keep that knowledge, especially with lip reading. But it would still be a very low volume, weird robot-ey and unnatural (to a hearing person) reproduction of the voice. But she might just be happy to have that.

Children who have never heard sound (and I assume adults) are like babies learning sounds and how to talk, and they're often years behind unless the deafness is caught at birth and the infant immediately implanted. Even with speech therapy many/most never lose the stereotypical "lisp" of acquiring speech later and fairly unnaturally.

Air Canada employees among suspects identified in gold heist at Pearson airport: police
Police say one former and one current employee of Air Canada are among nine suspects that are facing charges in connection with the gold heist at Pearson International Airport last year.

At a news conference Wednesday on the one-year anniversary of the heist, police confirmed that five suspects were arrested and four others are facing charges in connection with the largest gold theft in Canadian history.

Police said the suspects face a total of 19 charges and Canada-wide warrants have been issued for the arrest of three of the suspects who have not yet been apprehended. All of those arrested in connection with the heist have been released on bail, police confirmed in a news release issued Wednesday.

Quith Sick

LOL: Harvard has tapped an "expert" to help it pick its next president.

The expert? A McKinsey-trained DEI grifter.

(McKinsey is the leftwing woke consulting group that preaches diversity to corporations. Pete Bootyjudge is one of its disgraceful alums.)

Harvard University on Monday tapped an ex-McKinsey consultant who has criticized meritocracy and published controversial research on the benefits of diversity in business to help select the university's next president.
FreeBeacon

Vivian Hunt, who in 2015 co-authored McKinsey's influential paper, "Why diversity matters," has been appointed to lead the Harvard Board of Overseers, the head of which has historically sat on Harvard's presidential search committees along with all 12 members of the Harvard Corporation, the university's top governing body, according to the Harvard Crimson. The overseers can also veto presidential appointments with a majority vote.

The system means that Hunt--who has argued that meritocracy "isn't good enough" and urged companies to adopt explicit diversity targets--will likely play a major role in picking former Harvard president Claudine Gay's successor. Her appointment comes amid plummeting donations and a major drop in applications to the Ivy League school, which has been at the center of a debate about diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in higher education.

Critics of those programs say Hunt's selection is a red flag as Harvard gears up to find a permanent replacement for Gay--a major champion of DEI--who resigned in January amid allegations of plagiarism.

"Vivian Hunt leading the search for the next president of Harvard perfectly encapsulates the rot in higher education and corporate America," said Will Hild, the executive director of Consumers' Research, a nonprofit that has led a campaign against ESG initiatives, including diversity programs, in the business world. "If Harvard was serious about rebuilding their floundering reputation, Hunt would be the last person chosen to lead this search."

She wrote a paper, which McKinsey used to preach the economic benefits of woke diversity hiring to corporations, which claimed (as they always claim) that adopting leftwing political aims would lead to bigger profits.

The conclusions in this paper are "non-replicable." Other researchers could not replicate her results. That's a nice way of saying that her results were fraudulent, with the evidence tweaked and mutilated to support the conclusion she wanted.

And now she'll be bringing that kind of academic integrity to Harvard's presidential search.

Hunt has been a driving force behind the proliferation of DEI initiatives. Her 2015 paper has been cited by countless companies and institutions, including the Pentagon, to justify their diversity programs, even as more recent research has challenged her findings.

A study in Econ Journal Watch this March found that diversity has no effect on company returns and that Hunt's results don't replicate. The findings were a major rebuke of Hunt, now the CEO of Optum Health, who has spent nearly a decade making the business case for diversity--and against meritocracy.

I love it -- the meritless all oppose the meritocracy. What are the odds?!?!

Biden's dying demented brain confabulated another bit of Biden Crime Family Lore, this time claiming an uncle died in WWII due to being eaten by "cannibals."

His plane was lost at sea. Few cannibals in the sea, although some shipwrecked men might go that way eventually.

President Biden twice implied Wednesday that his uncle Ambrose Finnegan was eaten by cannibals in New Guinea after his plane crashed during World War II -- even though military records show that the aircraft plunged into the Pacific.

"He got shot down in an area where there were a lot of cannibals at the time," Biden initially told reporters after visiting a war memorial that bears his uncle's name in Scranton, Pa.

"They never recovered his body, but the government went back when I went down there and they checked and found some parts of the plane."

After arriving in Pittsburgh for a speech on steel tariffs, the 81-year-old president told the same story.

"He got shot down in New Guinea and they never found the body because there used to be -- there were a lot of cannibals, for real, in that part of New Guinea," Biden told United Steelworkers union members.

The Pentagon's Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency says that Finnegan's plane actually was lost over the open ocean on May 14, 1944.

"For unknown reasons, this plane was forced to ditch in the ocean off the north coast of New Guinea. Both engines failed at low altitude, and the aircraft's nose hit the water hard," the military's account says.

Every single time this blowhard opens his lying mouth and vomits up some new anti-Blarney, I curse my Irish heritage.

Only 34% of the public thinks Trump acted illegally in the "hush money" political prosecution, and only 31% expect him to receive a fair trial.

That doesn't sound like the public will be swayed by a (short-lived) "guilty" verdict.

George Soros bailed the pro-terrorist bridge-barricaders out of jail.

Scores of "Free Palestine" protesters across the United States took to the streets Monday to block major airports, highways, and bridges. Those who are arrested will receive bail money and legal support from a left-wing dark money behemoth funded by George Soros, an online fundraising page shows.


The protests, which took place in dozens of U.S. cities including San Francisco, Chicago, New York City, and Philadelphia, were organized by A15 Action, a newly formed group that worked to "coordinate a multi-city economic blockade on April 15 in solidarity with Palestine." The group's website directs users to a "bail and legal defense fund" hosted through ActBlue, the Democratic Party's online fundraising juggernaut.

Those who donate to the fund, the ActBlue page says, are sending money to the Community Justice Exchange, which provides "money bail, court fees and fines" and other legal services to "community-based organizations ... that contest the current operation and function of the criminal legal and immigration detention systems." The exchange is a project of the Tides Center, a left-wing dark money network funded by Soros and other liberal billionaires.

The protesters, who organized the global event under the title A15, targeted economic "choke points" with the express purpose of causing as much financial disruption as possible, according to their website.

Ahead of the protests, A15 said it identified "major choke points in the economy" that it would "blockade" to "cause pain." The group listed more than 50 participating cities, including Chicago, where dozens of protesters shut down access to the O'Hare International Airport for nearly an hour, forcing some travelers to walk with their luggage to the airport.

...

Police across the country made dozens of arrests in connection with the protests, with defendants set to receive support from Community Justice Exchange.

"On April 15th, people from over 30 cities around the world will take action to demand a free Palestine," A15's fundraising page reads. "Donate here to support community members who are criminalized in the U.S. for their solidarity with Palestine."

"Should the actions of the state result in the need for it, these funds will be used for bail, legal defense, and support for defendants."

The Tides Center houses a variety of left-wing groups, including the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation. It funnels millions of dollars from wealthy donors to those groups.

The center acts as a "fiscal sponsor" to a number of liberal nonprofits, allowing the groups under its umbrella to avoid registering with the IRS. Some of those groups are known for their anti-Israel activism.

The Tides Center, for example, fiscally sponsors the Arab Resource and Organizing Center, which last year organized a "direct action" protest that attempted to block a U.S. military ship bound for Israel from leaving a port in Washington. It also sponsors the Adalah Justice Project, one of America's most vocal Hamas apologists.

Soros and fellow liberal billionaire Pierre Omidyar are among the Tides Center's major donors.

Attempting to "cause pain" to a nation through blockading its bridges, roads, ports, and airports? And all of this coordinated and financially backed by communist revolutionaries...?

I dunno, sounds kind of Insurrectioney to me.


Boeing whistleblower: the entire 787 fleet should be grounded as too dangerous to fly.

Boeing engineer Sam Salehpour said in a Tuesday interview that he thinks all 787 jets should be grounded to allow for proper safety checks of the plane, which has come under fire in recent months following a slew of incidents.


The new interview -- which will air in full Tuesday on "NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt" -- comes one day before Salehpour's scheduled testimony before Congress about the safety concerns at Boeing that he laid out in a complaint filed with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) earlier this year.

"The entire fleet worldwide, as far as I'm concerned right now, needs attention," Salehpour said in a preview of the interview NBC News released Tuesday, when asked about the 787 plane model specifically.

"And the attention is, you need to check your gaps and make sure that you don't have potential for premature failure," he added.

In a letter addressed to FAA Administrator Michael Whitaker in January, attorneys for Salehpour said the Boeing engineer "repeatedly reported to Boeing management serious concerns about Boeing's current production and quality control processes, which he believes are creating potentially catastrophic safety risks."

The letter outlined problems with the production of the company's 787 and 777 jets, saying specifically that sections of the fuselage of the 787 Dreamliner are improperly fastened together and could break after thousands of trips. Salehpour told the agency these issues were the result of changes to the fitting and fastening of sections in the assembly line and alleged that the concerns were brushed off.

"I have come forward, and I have extended my neck," Salehpour said in the interview. "But you know, I'm at peace with myself. Because this is going to save a lot of people's lives."

New York resident Hillary Clinton also failed to disclose in contributions in 2016 -- specifically, she claimed her payment for the fake Steele Dossier was for "legal service" and was fined by the Federal Elections Committee for that lie -- but New York State declined to prosecute her for it.

In his Monday analysis, [Greg] Jarrett shredded Bragg and other Democratic officials involved in the case for prosecuting Trump even though he says 2016 presidential nominee Hillary Clinton essentially did the same thing during her unsuccessful campaign, though she, of course, was never prosecuted.

"Hillary Clinton did pretty much the same thing," Jarrett said. "She, too, used a lawyer to secretly pay for the phony Steele Dossier and booking it as legal expenses. She was fined by the [Federal Election Commission], but she wasn't prosecuted, and neither was Barack Obama, even though he was fined a whopping $375,000 for hiding donors and keeping illegal contributions."

The Daily Caller added:

Jarrett pointed out similarities between the case and the lack of prosecution towards Clinton, whose campaign financed a since-discredited dossier assembled by Christopher Steele alleging Trump colluded with Russia during the 2016 election.

"But, if your last name is Trump, the standard of justice is completely different and turned on its head," Jarrett added.

Hawley blasts Jennifer Granholm for lying to Congress when she claimed she owned no individual stocks (which is an issue, because the STOCK Act forbids it.)

Turns out she did. She sold the stocks a month after her lie, then waited another month to inform Congress she had lied.

She goes into the whole "How dare you!" act when asked about this.

The woman was rescued by crew on a Coast Guard MH-60T Jayhawk helicopter.

A rescuer rappelled down from the helicopter and strapped the woman to a gurney before taking her to the Centro Medico Hospital in Puerto Rico.

The woman was reportedly suffering from medical complications that "required a higher level of medical care" than what was on board the ship.

159 The Hillerbeast was fined by the FEC because she used CAMPAIGN funds to pay the lawyers that laundered the money.

Trump paid using his own funds. Bragg is claiming that, because it may have influenced voters, it was a campaign expenditure, even though it was never booked as such.

When this issue came up originally, Trump claimed that he a) didn't do it, but b) paid off SD to spare his wife's feelings and to protect his marriage. Using his own money.

This is as likely an explanation as the political one, bolstered by his personal money.

Bragg says, "No, I need this to be a campaign violation, so that's what it is." This is how flimsy this case is. It rests on his *assumption* of a crime never prosecuted much less proven, of a *federal* crime over which he has no jurisdiction.

A real judge would have tossed this case in a, pardon the expression, a New York Minute, but this Democrat donor, who ran as a Democrat, which, last I looked makes you a little heavier Democrat than the guy who votes for them, and whose daughter is heavily imbedded within the party machinery said, "Seems legit."

Fascist Leftwing Mayor of Brussels Orders Police to Shut Down Conservative Conference Featuring Nigel Farage, Possible Future UK PM Suella Braverman, and Hungary President Viktor Orban

They're no longer hiding their intentions.

Police in Brussels have stormed a right-wing conference attended by Nigel Farage and Suella Braverman after orders for the event to be shut down.

Local authorities ordered the controversial National Conservatism (NatCon) Conference to be closed to "guarantee public safety".

Ms Braverman, the former home secretary, and Mr Farage, the former Ukip leader, were among the political names advertised to speak at the event on Tuesday alongside right-wing Hungarian autocrat Viktor Orban.

Officers arrived after the event began at Claridge's, a venue in central Brussels, to tell organisers it would be shut down. According to a report on social media, police arrived while Mr Farage was addressing the event, giving attendees 15 minutes to leave the venue. However, officers did not appear to force the event to shut down and speeches continued.

Police have now said they will not let anyone else into the venue and people can leave and not re-enter.

The conference has already had to move location twice after mayors within the Brussels region refused the meeting's chosen venues.

Emir Kir, mayor of the area where the conference was held, said: "I issued an order from the mayor to ban the National Conservatism Conference event to guarantee public safety.

"In Etterbeek, Brussels City and Saint-Josse, the far right is not welcome."

Conference organisers said they were launching a legal challenge to Mr Kir's order, adding: "There is no public disturbance and no grounds to shut down a gathering of politicians, intellectuals, journalists, students, civic leaders, and concerned citizens.

"The police entered the venue on our invitation, saw the proceedings and the press corps, and quickly withdrew. Is it possible they witnessed how peaceful the event is?"


In a video on social media, Mr Farage said the Brussels authorities were behaving "like the old Soviet Union".

Politico attempts to pretend that the "mayhem" here is due to right-wing people having a lawful and peaceful conference, rather than the Red-Black fascist who gave the order to shut down speech.

Farage and Orbán's Brussels jamboree descends into mayhem amid police siege

"Tinpot dictatorship," a National Conservatism Conference organizer fumed at local mayors.

BRUSSELS -- A gathering of Europe's hard-right elite in Brussels descended into chaos on Tuesday as police moved to shut down the conference, barricading the venue's entrance and causing widespread outrage.

The National Conservatism Conference had been set to welcome Hungarian leader Viktor Orbán and U.K. politician Nigel Farage over the next two days, but law enforcement arrived two hours into the event at the Claridge venue, near the European Quarter, to inform organizers that the shindig would be terminated.

"The authorities decided to shut the event due to possibility of public disorder," a police officer heard by POLITICO told one of the organizers. The shutters had already come down on the venue where Brexit architect Farage was due to give a keynote speech at 11 a.m.

When he got on stage, as drama continue to unfold outside the venue, Farage lambasted the Brussels authorities as "simply monstrous" for attempting to cancel the event. "I knew I wouldn't be welcome back in Brussels," the former MEP chafed.

The Brexit champion wasn't alone in his stinging critiques of the city's bureaucracy.

"It's really something out of a tinpot dictatorship," Frank Füredi, one of the organizers from right-wing think tank MCC, which is co-sponsoring the event, told POLITICO. "They're trying to use a technical reason to make a political point. They told the owner that if it doesn't get shut down they're gonna cut the electricity."

At least Belgium's PM condemned the mayor's illegal thuggery:

Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo, a Flemish liberal, also said: "What happened at the Claridge today is unacceptable. Municipal autonomy is a cornerstone of our democracy but can never overrule the Belgian constitution guaranteeing the freedom of speech and peaceful assembly since 1830. Banning political meetings is unconstitutional. Full stop."

The thug mayor who shut this down is Emir Kir, a son of Turkish immigrants.

We're importing illiberal thuggish fascists and blasphemy-police into formerly free societies. And the left, meanwhile, encourages those anti-western, anti-liberal, anti-freedom impulses because they are anti-western revolutionaries themselves.

We cannot continue importing the left's Street Muscle into the country.

Update: A Belgian court has overruled this fascist mayor, and the conference is now continuing.

Organisers National Conservatism mounted an emergency legal challenge against the order to shut down its event at their third venue, which was selected after two previous sites cancelled their booking following left-wing pressure.

The legal challenge was backed by legal advocacy firm, ADF International, and in a late-night ruling, the Conseil d'État, the highest court in Belgium relating to issues of public administration, announced that the conference, scheduled for April 16th-17th, was free to meet today for its second day without interference from state authorities.

In the decision, the court decided that the Belgian Constitution "grants everyone the right to assemble peacefully," and although the mayor has the authority to make police ordinances in case of "serious disturbance of the public peace or other unforeseen events," in this case there was no sufficient threat of violence to justify this.

The court argued that "it does not seem possible to infer from the contested decision that a peace-disrupting effect is attributed to the congress itself". Rather, as the decision notes, "the threat to public order seems to be derived purely from the reactions that its organisation might provoke among opponents".

Yes, that's how the left forces theaters to cancel right-leaning comedians' shows: The threaten violence themselves, then press for the venue to cancel the show to "protect the community."

Protect the community, from their violence.

We cannot go on much longer like this.

Related: Last week, Biden operatives were asked to lie by their allies in the media and claim they are NOT seeking the votes of the radical Muslim terror supporters who chanted "Death to America" in Michiganistan last week.

The Biden campaign said it does not want the votes of those caught on video chanting "Death to America" during a recent anti-Israel rally in the 2024 battleground state of Michigan.

A Dearborn crowd was led in chants of "Death to America" and "Death to Israel" by Michigan-based activist Tarek Bazzi during last Friday's International Al-Quds Day rally.

When asked if the president was still courting those agitators, who typically lean Democrat, Biden campaign spokesperson Charles Lutvak replied, "No."

None of them really want "communism done right" ... they just want that nirvana as a promise while they continue their war on all liberty ... and all hope. Plus they are collecting all assets for themselves ... not exactly "communsim done right".

Sorry; I was paraphrasing Robert Heinlein's similar ...

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck.”

160 re 123 -

Schumer's maneuvers today are merely a symptom of a disease that's afflicted Congress since 1789. A disease that has gotten worse every year since: No accountability.

Yeah, yeah, in theory the voters hold Representatives and Senators accountable for their actions and inactions. How's that been working out?

Each House is Constitutionally empowered to make its own rules. Period. If Majority Leader Schumer uses Senate rules to not try Mayorkas, waddaya gonna do about it? What's Speaker Johnson gonna do about it? You want insider trading by Reps and Senators prohibited? Good luck getting a rule made for that in either House. Let alone a law. Congress imposed FOIA on the Executive Branch. But Congress has never imposed any equivalent of FOIA on itself. It is not legally required to make anything it does or writes public. Congress gave itself broad Executive Branch oversight powers, and that was upheld by Article III Courts. Congress holds the purse strings for the Exec Branch...and for itself. Checks and balances on Congress? C'mon, man! In practice there's no such thing!

Schumer Vows to Block Constitutionally-Required Impeachment Trial of Open Borders Czar Mayorkas

We had to burn the Constitution in order to save it.

Members of the United States Senate signed the "oath book" to assume the role of jurors on Wednesday afternoon, set to begin the impeachment trial for Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. After the formal process of convening a court of impeachment, however, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) addressed the upper chamber and confirmed he would attempt to prevent the trial from taking place.

The norm-breaking, duty-abdicating move by Schumer and Senate Democrats upsets 227 years of congressional history.

In his remarks from the Senate floor, Schumer said he would make two motions, one to dismiss each of the two articles of impeachment passed by the House earlier this year: the first article deals with the DHS secretary's "willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law" and the second article addresses Mayorkas' "breach of public trust."

The majority leader said seven points of order would be allowed on the motion to dismiss the first article but only one point of order would be allowed on the motion to dismiss the second article. Both motions would have 60 minutes of debate, Schumer outlined. Schumer said he would then move to adjourn the court of impeachment with just four minutes of debate on that question.

Schumer then raised a point of order to claim that the first article of impeachment against Mayorkas does not allege conduct that rises to the level of a high crime or misdemeanor and is therefore "unconstitutional," an ironic attempt to claim adherence to the Constitution in order to abdicate the Senate's constitutional duty.

Meanwhile, Sanctuary City Denver is cutting funding for the police in order to provide welfare to the illegal aliens they've invited to illegally squat in the city.


* The sanctuary city's progressive Mayor Mike Johnston unveiled a budget proposal on Wednesday, allocating $89.9m to assist undocumented migrants
As a result of this reallocation, the police and fire department are some of the those expected to face budget cuts

* The amount will be drawn from approximately $45 million that's used for public programs and services

* The city of Denver has announced plans to defund the police to pay for the migrant crisis as the democrat city strips cops' budget of $8.4 million.

The sanctuary city's progressive Mayor Mike Johnston unveiled a budget proposal on Wednesday, allocating $89.9 million to assist incoming undocumented migrants, whom he refers to as 'newcomers.'

The amount will be drawn from approximately $45 million that's used for public programs and services.

As a result of this reallocation, the police and fire department are some of those expected to face budget cuts.

Johnston claimed this was the best option available to provide services to migrants.

But Denver officials are meanwhile telling illegals to go to other blue state sanctuary cities.


In February 2018, Denver city leaders sent a valentine to foreigners interested in relocating to the progressive mountain city and a message to any elected officials looking to stop them.

Draped on Denver's City and County building was a large, blue banner: "Denver [HEART] Immigrants."

If it wasn't clear enough, then-mayor Michael Hancock posted on social media that it was a statement of "love" to let immigrants know that Denver is "an open and welcoming city."

Denver leaders unfurled that welcome banner six months after they passed an ordinance curtailing the city's ability to cooperate with federal immigration agents during a Trump-era crackdown on illegal immigration. Hancock also issued an executive order at the time directing city agencies to aid illegal immigrants in Denver and setting up a legal defense fund for them.

But six years later, amid a crisis that has seen more than 40,000 migrants arrive in the city since late 2022, Denver leaders appear to have a new message for some of their so-called "newcomers": If you stay in Denver, you will suffer.

"The opportunities are over," an official with new mayor Mike Johnston's office told a gathering of migrants in Spanish inside a city shelter in late March, according to a video obtained by a local television station. "New York gives you more. Chicago gives you more."

Denver has run out of resources, he told them, offering bus fare to somewhere, anywhere else.

"If you stay here," he added, "you are going to suffer even more, and I don't want to see this."

While the immigration crisis has hit Chicago and New York City hard, in large part due to Texas governor Greg Abbott's program of busing migrants to deep-blue sanctuary cities, it has absolutely hammered Denver, which is only a fraction of their size.

...

To address a migrant-driven financial crunch, the city is now cutting hours at local rec centers, slashing park programming, and freezing hiring in some departments. To save a little money, the city has decided against planting flowers in some of its parks and medians this spring.

I saw this, and doubtless Denver really *is* trying to square the circle of remaining a "sanctuary" while reducing the burden of aliens.

But none of this talk matters because actions are louder. And the actions are clear: they'll drain other budgets to find funds to make sure that "the opportunities" are definitely *not* "over."

Who are they going to believe? Some chatterbox, or the friendly alien activist who tells them that it's all okay because they're cutting other budgets to continue providing them with services, and shows them the Spanish-language version of the announcement?

They were never going to vote to remove Mayorkas. It's not just him or Biden they are defending, they are defending the entire Democrat party because open borders is the position of the entire party. Some are more open about but they all support it.

The only decision they made today was do they end the trial now and take the heat for that or do they go through the trial, allow the evidence to be presented against Mayorkas and basically themselves. They decided this was the lesser evil. We'll see if they were correct.

Yeah, yeah, in theory the voters hold Representatives and Senators accountable for their actions and inactions. How's that been working out?

Each House is Constitutionally empowered to make its own rules. Period. If Majority Leader Schumer doesn't try Mayorkas, waddaya gonna do about it? You want insider trading by Reps and Senators prohibited? Good luck getting a rule made for that changed in either House. Let alone a law. Congress imposed FOIA on the Executive Branch. But Congress has never legally required itself to make anything it does or writes public. Congress gave itself broad Executive Branch oversight powers, and that was upheld by Article III Courts. Congress holds the purse strings for the Exec Branch...and for itself. Checks and balances on Congress? C'mon, man! There's no such thing!

The House Intelligence Subcommittee Added an Amendment to the FISA Reauthorization Bill Drafting All Citizens Into the Business of Spying on Other Americans

It's being called the "Everybody's a Spy" act.

If you own a small business, and someone hops on to your wifi, the government can demand you become its unpaid spy and turn over all data it demands.


The US House of Representatives agreed to reauthorize a controversial spying law known as Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act last Friday without any meaningful reforms, dashing hopes that Congress might finally put a stop to intelligence agencies' warrantless surveillance of Americans' emails, text messages and phone calls.

The vote not only reauthorized the act, though; it also vastly expanded the surveillance law enforcement can conduct. In a move that Senator Ron Wyden condemned as "terrifying", the House also doubled down on a surveillance authority that has been used against American protesters, journalists and political donors in a chilling assault on free speech.

Section 702 in its current form allows the government to compel communications giants like Google and Verizon to turn over information. An amendment to the bill approved by the House vastly increases the law's scope. The Turner-Himes amendment -- so named for its champions Representatives Mike Turner and Jim Himes -- would permit federal law enforcement to also force "any other service provider" with access to communications equipment to hand over data. That means anyone with access to a wifi router, server or even phone -- anyone from a landlord to a laundromat -- could be required to help the government spy.

The Senate is expected to vote on the House bill as soon as this week, and if it passes there, Joe Biden is likely to sign it. All Americans should be terrified by that prospect.

...

While the Turner-Himes amendment lists some business types that are excepted from the requirement to help spy -- like dwellings and restaurants -- an almost limitless number of entities that provide wifi or just have access to Americans' devices could be roped into the government's surveillance operations. Using the wifi in your dentist office, hiring a cleaner who has access to your laptop, or even storing communications equipment in an office you rent could all expose you to increased risk of surveillance.


Bob Goodlatte and Mark Udall urge the Senate to block passage of the Everybody's a Spy Act:


As RISAA comes to the Senate, attention is now being cast on another amendment -- one from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) that many have come to call the "Everyone's a Spy" provision. This measure was portrayed as a "narrow" definitional change to the law concerning electronic communications service providers -- big telecom and Internet companies -- which obligated them to cooperate with NSA surveillance. These big companies can be compelled to spy for the government, and then be subject to gag orders, forbidding them from telling customers they have been surveilled.


...

The HPSCI amendment achieves this by including any service provider who has access to equipment that transmits communications. After critics complained that digital loungers in hotel lobbies and coffeehouses would have their data hoovered up by the government, the authors of this amendment provided carve-outs for hotels, restaurants, dwellings, and community centers. This was a good PR move. But this measure still applies to most everyone -- owners and operators of any facilities (other than the exempted categories) that house equipment used to store or carry data.

If this became law, millions of American small business owners would have a legal obligation to hand over data that runs through their equipment. These small businesses could be forced to give the NSA direct access to their equipment, or else they might just copy messages en masse and turn them over. And when they're done with doing their part in mass surveillance, these small businesses would then be placed under a gag order to hide their activities from their customers.


Senators, including Rand Paul (of course), are vowing they'll block a vote on this sell-out.


Senators in both parties are warning the expanded surveillance authority under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) could lapse after Friday because of a battle over amending the House bill, which has become a target of conservative Republicans and some Democrats.

Opponents of the bill could drag the Senate debate past the 11:59 p.m. Friday deadline, which threatens to cause a lapse in warrantless surveillance authority that some lawmakers warn could leave the nation exposed to an attack at a dangerous time.

"It would be a very big problem. FISA's incredibly important to alerting us of terrorist plots, for example. And I believe the threat of a terrorist attack is much higher than is being discussed," warned Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), a senior member of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

...

[I]t would take more than a week to process the bill on the Senate floor, and opponents of the legislation are threatening to push the debate past the Friday deadline unless they get time to debate and vote on changes to the bill.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), an outspoken critic of the FISA program, said he's willing to let it lapse over the weekend if he doesn't get changes to the bill considered on the Senate floor.

"We need to debate -- we've had five years [to reauthorize the program] -- I would think we've got time to debate whether or not it's appropriate for our government to spy on its own citizens without a warrant," he said.

Paul said he would agree to speed up the process depending on "how much debate the Democrats are willing to allow."

But he said he would have no problem with letting the program lapse, arguing that the country and its intelligence agencies functioned well enough before Congress passed FISA in 1978.

Not quite. I think Johnson is in an even tougher position with a thinner GOP majority and a majority of GOP being spineless jellyfish twats.

Plus, I think it more likely than not that there are a few more GOP shitstains secretly threatening retirement if Johnson doesn't do X and Y. These cocksuckers have extreme leverage because they hold the GOP majority -- and Johnson's Speakership -- in their hands.

69 Section 702 in its current form allows the government to compel communications giants like Google and Verizon to turn over information. An amendment to the bill approved by the House vastly increases the law's scope. ... force "any other service provider" with access to communications equipment to hand over data. That means anyone with access to a wifi router, server or even phone ... could be required to help the government spy.

I'll bet it's worse than that, and that a private individual or family that has ever allowed anyone else to use the network will be classed as a "service provider." You had a guest and let him use your WiFi? Congratulations, you're a service provider. Hand over the logs.

This will be interesting from an ISP standpoint, too. Consumer internet access usually has explicit prohibition against using it as a service provider (you can't buy a gigabit connection and then sell your WiFi password to your neighbor, for example). If *everyone* is now a "service provider," then that prohibition will become untenable.

If one party opposed the surveillance state, it would not exist, in much the same way that if one party wanted limited government or smaller budgets, government would differ. But neither party wants these things any more than either one wants illegal immigration brought under control.

They can't easily scrape access logs from millions of devices and device types. If they want local device logs, they have to get them from the device's owner, and that means they need a warrant or a subpoena, which means they need due process of some kind, even if it's just for show.

This changes that. They can just demand it and then gag you. This is not generally useful, but it will be quite useful when they have a target in mind. John Doe has raised the Party's ire. They know he went to a conference on July 13. They know he stayed at a Best Western. They want his access logs from the hotel to get detailed specifics that the ISP may not have. Today, they have to get a warrant or a subpoena to obtain those. Tomorrow, they can just demand it.

This will do *nothing* for national security, but it sure will give them more capability when it comes to gathering ever more data on whoever they're targeting for any reason, with no due process.

FBI won't need to stage it...we've got so many illegal terrorists over the border, they could probably execute a plan in any place at any time. So, the FBI would just need to give a push, but not actually run anything. It could be as simple as "incompetently" mentioning something online...

201 The feds most likely own the encryption to every VPN in use.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, fighting kaiju with Ishiro Honda at April 17, 2024 04:11 PM (GBKbO)

Probably, but that's not entirely relevant. VPNs aren't about security, they're about endpoint obfuscation. Data transmitted in the clear isn't particularly relevat if the origin and destination of the traffic is unknown. That's what VPNs are really for.

Even if someone has the keys - assume that they do - that lets them see what was transmitted, but not by/to whom. To find that out is difficult, because they need to have a reasonably good time frame of what was collected and from where (easy), through which VPN (not as easy, but achievable), and finally to which VPN connectee (very hard if the VPN service does not keep logs, and none of the good ones do).

There are ways around this through browser fingerprinting (identify your browser even if they can't track the connection) and, crucially, because most people are sloppy and will do personally-identifiable things while connected through a VPN. If you do that, the sloppiness and browser fingerprinting will obviate the VPN anyway. Most people aren't careful.

A friend of mine missed her chemo because of the GGBridge shutdown. Her son was stuck in his car for 3.5 hours. I don’t imagine either of them were compelled to advocate for the protesters’ positions.

Unpopular Kos opinion here but…maybe they should advocated for the protesters opinion. People were dying, and certainly missing chemo treatments in Gaza because of the policies of the US to support the horrific, genocidal bombing of people and hospitals while your family/friend….was sitting in traffic. I cannot relate to, and am pretty horrified by, the expectation that people can only protest American policies if it doesn’t inconvenience Americans.

What the fuck do you expect a random cancer patient to do about gaza? They statistically probably DO support Palestinians. But ya know. Cant really take time out of their CANCER TREATMENT to go do...something? Absolutely idiotic and frankly ableist take.

The NSA has been illegally recording phone calls and intercepting emails for decades. Nobody is going to prosecute them.

They have or can get most of it.

But not everyone can. The IC is fiercely competitive and territorial, and something like this will help open the floodgates to the NSA's IC competitors. Not everyone has the "we have a copy of everything" capability of the NSA, and they all want it.

The FBI probably can't do it, and DHS probably can't. But if both can suddenly compel cooperation from any source in the country, that's good for both of them and gives them more autonomy.

Congress is filled with cowards. Do you really think any one of them wants to be on the other side when someone hurls at them the attack could have been prevented if only the FISA Bill was renewed?

The answer is no, and the timing of two years isn't random.

I suspect the NSA and their affiliates hoover up everything. The various telecoms help. Some sites probably send their logs and content directly to them, being tools of the regime and all.

This site, as simple as it is, likely gets "scraped" for all the text and images. Probably takes 15 seconds to pull literally every letter and picture off the site daily.

So, yea, the NSA pretty much has access to everything but the key is how to parse the data in a meaningful way. (Enter Google with the ability to search the Internet for videos of dancing bats.)

ACLU Fires Asian Lawyer For Using "Racially Harmful" Language to Complain About Black Boss. She Didn't Say Anything Racist; the ACLU Contends That Simply Criticizing a Black Boss Is Inherently "Harmful" Because It Caused "Hurt Feelings" Among Other Blacks

Nice to have it laid out like this.

You are now claiming it's racist to disagree with a black person or to dislike their management style.

No backtracking; you said what you said. "Racism" now means simply "failure to sufficiently praise a privileged minority."


The ACLU has fired an Asian employee, Kate Oh, for what it describes as creating "racial harm" through her critiques of Black supervisors, inciting a complex legal and ethical debate over workplace dynamics and free speech.

Key Details:

The ACLU claims that Kate Oh, a Korean American lawyer, used language in complaints that perpetuated racist stereotypes against her Black supervisors.

Oh's interactions, including describing a discussion as "chastising" and expressing fear of a Black male superior, were used as examples of alleged anti-Black animus.

She complained about him "chastising" -- criticizing -- an Asian woman. That's not racist. When she complained of the criticism, that was racist. Because he's higher on the Oppression Pyramid of Privilege.


The case has escalated to an unfair-labor-practice trial, with the National Labor Relations Board accusing the ACLU of retaliating against Oh for her complaints about workplace conditions.


Kate Oh, a former lawyer at the ACLU, finds herself at the center of a contentious legal battle after being terminated for allegedly using racially coded language in complaints against her Black supervisors. The ACLU argues that Oh's expressions, such as stating she was "afraid" to speak with a Black superior and calling another meeting "chastising," contributed to a pattern of "willful anti-Black animus." These claims have raised substantial questions about the boundaries of acceptable speech in the workplace, especially within an organization renowned for defending free speech.

The complexity of the case is underscored by the ACLU's own defense strategies, which hinge on a broad interpretation of what constitutes racially harmful speech. This stance seems at odds with the ACLU's historical advocacy for expansive free speech rights, sparking criticisms of hypocrisy and overreach.

54 "She is an attorney with two decades of experience in legislative and political affairs, including roles with Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, the Senate Democratic Policy Committee, Media Matters for America, and GameChanger Labs."

So, as per last thread, she likely had the same problems but was fired in lieu of walking away.

Willowed: Was editor Uri Berliner attached to NPR's D.C. Office?
If so, odds are she was placed into the CEO position to get him out. The 5 day suspension was an embarrassing public slap. Then the ball was in his court & he quit.

Notice is not required by either party based on the fact that DC is an "employment at will" state, meaning that an employer or employee may terminate the relationship at any time, without a reason, without cause.

There are only a very few exceptions, maybe such as if he was under contract and/or NPR failed to follow its own employment guidelines.

92 The comments are interesting, focusing mostly on how bad the ACLU's pro-black boss arguments are. But Oh doesn't come off well either. Claiming to feel threatened by or afraid of others is textbook leftism these days. And it's a weird pose for an attorney at any rate. I suspect this is like the Iran-Iraq war, where the best outcome is that it be excruciatingly painful for both parties.

Ehh, not really. It turns out that commercial aviation isn't particularly profitable. If the airlines aren't defended with special rules (e.g., prior to deregulation) or protected with subsidies if not state-owned (national airlines), competition turns into a race to the bottom on service and goodies. The market has dictated that this is acceptable, because the tickets keep selling.

So adding an extra row or two to the cabin - even if it means no more reclining seats - is well worth it. The money has to be made up somewhere and competition is fierce. If you can't increase the cost of the ticket without being crowded out by the airline that didn't, you find a way to sell more tickets (or provide fewer services, like drinks and complimentary baggage).

Personal space on a plane is a zero sum game. When somebody reclines to increase their space, they take away the space of the person sitting behind them.
Posted by: J. Frank Parnell at April 17, 2024 02:52 PM (IGKzA)



Which can be corrected by the person behind reclining. While the 2 inches they actually recline doesn't provide much in the way of comfort, it's better than sitting at a 90 degree angle.

Posted by: Joe Mannix


I am tall too. When the seat in front of me is NOT reclined, my knees touch it. So, if they recline, they are putting their weight onto them. I had one flight where a euro trash complained to the stewardess that when he kept slamming his seat back into me, he could feel my knees in his back.

I informed him and the stewardess that if he did it again, I would break his nose at a minimum. They moved him to the back of the plane.

Ah, got it. Yeah. It's the race to the bottom. They've already cut most of what they can out of other services, so time to cram in more seats.

Some sociopath in Europe invented a vertical airplane "seat" that's basically a bicycle saddle mounted to a floor-to-ceiling pole. Increases passenger density by some ridiculous amount.

Even Ryanair looked at that and said, "no, not even we can get away with this." But give it 5-10 years and something like it will be available if not commonplace for short-haul flights of under 3 hours.

And no it's not me. I've had many female teachers and professors (which is sorta like a boss) and they all liked me, and in some cases I was their favorite.

Wait, I take that back: there was one female boss I had when I was a teenage waiter and bartender way back in the day. She was kinda dumb but hot and apparently liked teenage boys. She sexually harassed the shit out of me. I let her. I was 17. She was hot. It was worth it.

290 Quick and dirty HR:

All states, except Montana, are At Will. This is not the same as right to work, which means you have a choice as to whether you join a union or not, and this has other complexities I won’t go into.

If you belong to a union, you are a contract employee. The right to work status means jack taco to you. While most companies, except really dumb ones, will retain the right to hire and fire, you still need to meet just cause standards in order to discipline, to include termination.

Note in an at will employment situation, you can fire for any reason, but you cannot fire for the wrong reasons, discrimination being one of those wrong reasons.

In presenting Berliner's suspension Thursday afternoon, the organization told the editor he had failed to secure its approval for outside work for other news outlets, as is required of NPR journalists. It called the letter a "final warning," saying Berliner would be fired if he violated NPR's policy again. Berliner is a dues-paying member of NPR's newsroom union but says he is not appealing the punishment.

Believe this was also included previously: "There are only a very few exceptions, maybe such as if he was under contract and/or NPR failed to follow its own employment guidelines."

It has been said, identity politics has almost nothing to do with the superficial differences between people, but are indeed a construct created by the powers that be, to keep people divided.

So... everyone who has lined up on one side or another of the divides that have been constructed for us, whether it be race or sex or religion or whatever else, at some point are you going to stop playing their game? Are you going to stop being a pawn on the chess board, moved by others who know what you're going to say and do, before you do?

The problem is when the SHTF and the shooting starts, nobody's going to be asking questions.

Certain things are just going to be the "enemy uniform". Danger Hair. Skin Color. Anything that visually points to "probably a leftist".

Nobody here wants SHTF, no matter how much trash we talk. And HH probably is right about it changing into a visual thing, the deciding factor?
-Is this person shooting at me?
-Yes.
-I shoot back.

Simply Criticizing a Black Boss Is Inherently "Harmful" Because It Caused "Hurt Feelings" Among Other Blacks

----------

Delicate sensitive feelings. But when it comes to the crap they inflict on others, they're about as sensitive as a goddam toilet seat.

These are grifters. If they discover they can get away with a new angle, they'll go for it.

327 Race relations have been irreparably destroyed because the races simply cannot look at each other and not think:

A) this person doesn't deserve to be here
B) this person inherently hates me
C) this person thinks they're better than me
D) this person would enslave me

The libs have done one helluva a job creating this type of environment.

I think Barack acted as a catalyst, made it policy. But the building blocks were there to be put together beforehand by someone who wanted to build this monstrosity. A big part, I think, is the ceaseless excusing and apologizing for the antisocial behavior of certain groups. Note, for example, how certain behavior by whites makes them trash, but no comparable group of black trash is acknowledged to exist. The mainstreaming of rap music and its gangster ethos was a watershed. It took a while to metastasize, but it was always cancer. Apologetic comparisons to rock music are like comparisons between the Bible and Koran on violence.

Epstein and Jizzlaine would go entice vulnerable teenage girls, make them promises, send them to the island, and hold them as sex slaves until they were done with them.

It's said that hundreds, if not thousands of them have disappeared off the face of the Earth.

Lots of nations have banned slavery. There aren't that many, if any, that don't still practice it.

336 Interesting bio on the ACLU web site:

"Kate Oh is a former Senior Policy Counsel in the ACLU’s National office where she focused on democracy reform issues. She is an attorney with two decades of experience in legislative and political affairs, including roles with Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, the Senate Democratic Policy Committee, Media Matters for America, and GameChanger Labs.

I grew up in a mixed-race community. It was a small town, so there weren't separate black and white neighborhoods, but the churches (except for the Catholic Church) were pretty segregated.

And when there was a school dance, the announcement always specified that both "white music" and "black music" would be played.

I don’t know that I am playing, but maybe I am and need to think more on this topic. I am no snowflake, I am pretty tough. I don’t think it’s racist to call out clear cultural issues that should be talked about. I don’t struggle with seeing how ridiculous the oppression Olympics have gotten, it sadly has negated acts of true discrimination and that just sucks. I do have a problem with tactual racism and discrimination, no matter the direction. Luckily, I don’t think I am the rare bird who harbors these feelings, though there are people doing their damndest to make that not so.

The fundamental fallacy of the criterion "made to feel" a certain way, versus some objective requirement of observable behavior, is on display here.

The related fallacy of "unequal outcomes = prejudice" is lurking somewhere nearby as well.

356 Harassment becomes unlawful where
1) enduring the offensive conduct becomes a condition of continued employment, or
2) the conduct is severe or pervasive enough to create a work environment that a reasonable person would consider intimidating, hostile, or abusive.

==
And remember, the defendant must prove their innocence, as opposed to be presumed innocent. A nice little twist in the 90's Civil Rights Act update. What the ACLU is forgetting is that since she was ostensibly complaining about a harassing workplace first, they have the burden of proof in showing her workplace was not harassing, and have proven it by firing her.

Yes there is a hierarchy. But there is also timing, and retaliation. ACLU is wrong on both. They will pay, haven't got a prayer of getting off on this one, unless the left is ready to wipe out 30 years of case law on the books.

This characterization of the ACLU is a good 50 years out of date. The ACLU long ago descended into the stance that does not defend anything but its own woke grift.
