The Quotes of The Day

I bet a hamburger to a dollar least ranking cop got to take our Genius Award Winner to receive his award.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — An Oregon felon wanted for second-degree kidnapping, reckless endangerment and illegal gun possession charges was tracked down in a porta-potty after he allegedly led authorities on a three-day chase through rural Lane County.

The Lane County Sheriff’s Office said that 33-year-old Andrew Hamilton Dimmick of Crawfordsville was seen wielding a sword and huffing nitrous oxide at 11 a.m. near Terwilliger Hot Springs on Saturday. Dimmick left the area before Oregon State Police arrived on scene. However, a sheriff’s deputy found Dimmick driving in the area and attempted to make a traffic stop. Dimmick allegedly fled from the pursuing deputy, who chased him down a gravely U.S. Forest Service road.

The ONT Musical Interlude & Panko Crumb Emporium

My guess? There are citizens of Ohio and Maryland wish that Mayor Buttplug would give a damn about them.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A $12 billion passenger bullet train linking Las Vegas and the Los Angeles area was dubbed the first true high-speed rail line in the nation on Monday, with the private company building it predicting millions of ticket-buyers will be boarding trains by 2028.

“People have been dreaming of high-speed rail in America for decades,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg before taking a stage with union representatives and company officials at the future site of a terminal to be built just south of the Las Vegas Strip. “It’s really happening this time.”

Buttigieg cited Biden administration support for the project that he said will bring thousands of union jobs, boost local economies and cut traffic and air pollution. He was also heard to utter the following, "Well, fvck me to tears!"

From the country that established the Reinheitsgebot ("purity order for beer") in 1516 and Oktoberfest in 1811, beer is something where Deutsche obsessiveness has led to wondrous things. Denmark has been giving them a run for their money with Carlsberg, and some people (not yours truly) like the Dutch varieties, but Deutschland does some world-class brewing.

My wife and I have often joked about how, if the stars align properly, that we would make the pilgrimage to Theresienwiese and might even wear the Trachen for Heilbromm, the Stadt my father's family came from. Or from mom's side, where we'd have the choice of Leuthen or the Swiss Canton of Thurgau.

99 (I posted this earlier as the last post before a nood. Apologies to anyone who already saw it.)

Conundrum:

1) Biden's JA (Job Approval) today is 39 in the Rasmussen Daily Presidential Tracking Poll. That's the lowest it's been all YEAR. However...

2) The RCP summary of betting markets today (Predictit, etc.) has Biden favored to beat Trump by 1.6%. As recently as Feb. 24th, Trump led Biden 44-26 in this metric.

There's no question that Biden has been improving rather dramatically in the polls, even as his Job Approval rating remains at historic lows.

Why? Lawfare, maybe. Improving public perceptions about the economy going forward? Seems likely to play into it.

I like trains too. I have ridden trains in Europe (rode the TGV in France once, at 180 mph), and trains in China, etc.
And they are all...sort of, subsidized. For instance, the pension fund for railway and transit workers in France is financed by gasoline and diesel taxes (at the pump).
And a lot of things in China are subsidized by the government, because for a long time, they were running huge trade surpluses, which are falling now.

169 topical for today - several people are noticing that these "demonstrations" at Columbia and elsewhere are *not* spontaneous as they pretend to be, but in fact are highly organized and very well funded. (their campsites show large numbers of identical, expensive pre-positioned tents for the protestors to stay in)

So, who is funding and organizing this? My guess is Neville Singh, a maoist millionaire who's wife helped found Code Pink. He stays out of the headlines, but is the one behind all sorts of nastiness going on in the US.

If you haven't heard of him, you'll ask "is he affiliated with Iran? Or some other muslim country?" and the answer is no. He has always gotten a great deal of his fortune from the Chinese Communist Party, and he acts as a high level agent for them in the financial sector.

189 Thing is about the "high-speed" rail, once you get from Rancho Cucamonga to Vegas, you're still going to need a car to get around. Vegas is pretty spread out.

So the calculation that the potential users do is this: do the savings on fuel, and the slight savings in time justify the cost of a car rental or Uber while in Vegas, plus the aggravations of being stuck in a metal tube with a bunch of other assholes for 2 hours? Or should I take a commuter jet, and be there in 40 minutes.?

Word is that it's Qatar's government is behind a lot of it. They have provided shelter and support for Hamas leadership (more so than Iran... which more or less just funnels weapons to them.)

And... a large number of these "protesters" are Qatar leadership's kids here on visas.

But... the funneling of money for it is allowed by the junta. So, that's a problem.

264 Conundrum:

1) Biden's JA (Job Approval) today is 39 in the Rasmussen Daily Presidential Tracking Poll. That's the lowest it's been all YEAR. However...

2) The RCP summary of betting markets today (Predictit, etc.) has Biden favored to beat Trump by 1.6%. As recently as Feb. 24th, Trump led Biden 44-26 in this metric.

There's no question that Biden has been improving rather dramatically in the polls, even as his Job Approval rating remains at historic lows.

Why? Lawfare, maybe. Improving public perceptions about the economy going forward? Seems likely to play into it.

Progressive Rep. Summer Lee fended off a primary challenge from Edgewood Borough Council member Bhavini Patel, NBC News projects, in a race that served as an early test of how Democratic voters feel about the Israel-Hamas war and concerns over rising antisemitism at home.

With 99% of the expected vote counted, Lee held a 21-point edge over Patel.

In a victory speech in Pittsburgh, Lee said, "This movement is stronger than whatever they want to throw at us" and is "stronger than every GOP billionaire." She called for peace "from Pittsburgh to Palestine."

334 If you want to get somewhere in a hurry (or even on time ) a train is not for you. OTOH, if you enjoy siting in your own private (liitle) room, reading, or sitting in the bar car with a drink in your hand watching America go by, it's great.

I've ridden the Broadway Limited, the Capitol Limited, the Empire Builder and the California Zephyr. Ulcer inducing if you're on a schedule, relaxing as hell if you aren't.

I think the Bright Line to Vegas will be successful. If you're heading for Fremont or the Strip for the nightlife, you don't want your own car. Traffic is a nightmare and parking is expensive (For those who haven't been to LV for awhile, free parking at the Casinos is a fond memory). Take the train, avoid hours of boredom, take Uber and avoid frustration, expense and the possibility of a DUI.
500 mile round trip @ 25 mpg and $4.50/gal = $90. Keep the RT ticket under $100 and it'll be a winner.

349 think the Bright Line to Vegas will be successful. If you're heading for Fremont or the Strip for the nightlife, you don't want your own car. Traffic is a nightmare and parking is expensive (For those who haven't been to LV for awhile, free parking at the Casinos is a fond memory). Take the train, avoid hours of boredom, take Uber and avoid frustration, expense and the possibility of a DUI.
500 mile round trip @ 25 mpg and $4.50/gal = $90. Keep the RT ticket under $100 and it'll be a winner.

I had a college professor who served as a military attaché at the US embassy in Bonn during the 1950s. He talked about the gala events and cocktail parties that he was obliged to attend. He said the German women in attendance were beautiful and usually elegantly attired in strapless evening gowns but every single one of them (he would shudder) "under the arms, gorillas!"

366 That same professor -outwardly very mild-mannered, but word got out that he had done some sort of work in Army Counter-Intelligence. That might have been the reason he was posted as a military attaché, not sure.

But it does underscore the way he interacted with students - namely, his office was on the west side of the academic hall, and office hours were in the afternoon. When you came by, the curtains were fully pulled back and the window was full of blazing sunlight, and he had his desk positioned where he was directly in front of it, so that all you saw was something between a blur and a silhouette. There were no chairs for students, just an under-stuffed bean bag. You'd sit there, barely able to hold your balance, shifting and shuffling, while he said, "So, Mr. Drake, what brings you here today? Did you want ... something?" It was like Interrogation 101 - very unsettling.

These days what happens is a show can escape notice by the suits and wokists for a season, maybe two but if it lives that long then the execs descend on it and start remaking it into the cult's vision and you can give up on it.

It used to happen in reverse. The old Family Ties show at first wanted to be about the parents more than the non-liberal kids but when the materialistic Mallory and Capitalist Michael got popular they de-emphasized the liberal parents and went for it.

First season sucks. You need to watch:

Second season, start watching about Look at the Princess and then it just keeps getting better from there.

It is a truly great show, with good characterizations, but only watch the first season eps aside from the ones I mentioned after you love the show.

The director might have taken longer to lose it, he spun out Buffy for a while. But the last one in the sequence has some bounty hunter threatening to rape the nice girl and the movie apparently had the other young girl go all super-magical power girl so it might not have had as much time as all that for the show to be about adults and reasonable situations.

120 Ron Moore's BSG.

First mistake, deleting how alien the Cylons are and thus depriving him of an actual 'other' voice to examine the Human Condition.

Second mistake, the big reveal of the other Human toasters in the third episode of the mini-series and then having to create a series.

Third mistake? Well let's see. The entire stupid 'insurrection' plot with Cain.

Fourth? Oh yeah the ending. When the remaining true Human Colonials decide to go native, give up their technology, and hope the Cylons they befriended don't revert. Plus the whole pigeon instead of dove metaphor.

Also, my roommate in college was from Zambia, and while showing me photos of his home and environs, one thing that popped up a few times were Hippo Crossing warning signs. I laughed, but he was deadly serious and said that they were among the deadliest creatures in Africa and frightened him more than lions and mambas and the other usual suspects. It was largely because of how unpredictable and stubborn they were - he talked about how one had rammed a mini-van off the road with nary a scratch to the Hippo.

>>Russia.

Russia is not a superpower. It can barely project military power beyond it's own borders.

What it is is a sneaky, crafty power and it's lucky in their enemies in that they are largely corrupt lunatics, pedophiles and homosexuals.

There should be master level courses in universities teaching on how Russia gets by on the cheap.

Posted by: Reforger at April 23, 2024 08:44 PM (B705c)

Nothing wrong with that, a lot of good SF borrows the setting from something we know and explores the world from there. The Original series was pretty much a WWII ship doing exploration like they did in the 1500s to 1700s where you docked your boat off a newly discovered area and played the rest by ear.

178 120 Ron Moore's BSG.

First mistake, deleting how alien the Cylons are and thus depriving him of an actual 'other' voice to examine the Human Condition.

Second mistake, the big reveal of the other Human toasters in the third episode of the mini-series and then having to create a series.

Third mistake? Well let's see. The entire stupid 'insurrection' plot with Cain.

Fourth? Oh yeah the ending. When the remaining true Human Colonials decide to go native, give up their technology, and hope the Cylons they befriended don't revert. Plus the whole pigeon instead of dove metaphor.

My dearly missed Molly Dog would pull the laydown stunt if she didn't want to head home from a walk in the woods around the house or if we were at the dog park and I told her it was time to go home. A 115lb field trial strong Labrador with a field trial attitude makes for an impossible situation. She could be so adamant about what she wanted to do. Sometimes I gave up trying to negotiate with her and would tell, "alright you win, let's keep walking," where she would immediately pop up as happy as a dog could be. I really miss her.

The first time I heard US troopers talking up Rommel in GWI or II I started getting a bit worried because in those days even pre-war the US had a lot of respect for logistics and production and practical warmaking.

This war has exposed that the US has forgotten everything it knew about fighting a real war and no longer has the industrial base to do it, but is so stupid that it doesn't even know that it can't do it. We are channeling the Axis. Heck, we are even bankrolling actual Nazis.

Mitch McConnell blasted former Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Tuesday, claiming he was part of the reason some Republicans have been hesitant to send more aid to Ukraine in its war with Russia.

“I think the demonization of Ukraine began by Tucker Carlson, who in my opinion ended up where he should have been all along, which was interviewing Vladimir Putin,” McConnell said, according to The Hill. “He convinced a lot of rank-and-file Republicans that maybe this was a mistake.”

The Grand Duchy of Fenwick was brilliant - start a war with the U.S., lose it, then rake in those sweet millions from their own mini-Marshall Plan. I loved the sequel too, where they launched their own space program. (The novels the films were based on have a third and fourth installment, The Mouse on Wall Street and The Mouse That Saved the West. The author, Leonard Wibberley, got the idea for the first novel when he saw the generous aid package the US supplied to Japan in the Treaty of San Francisco and wrote a satirical piece suggesting his home country, Ireland, declare war on America in hopes of getting the same deal, and realized he could turn that into a novel.)

Non-Prince Harry is now fully a US resident.

And Harry continues doing the laying about that Americans just won't do.

Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, has formally confirmed he is now a US resident.

The acknowledgment is said to underscore the prince's increasing estrangement from Britain, after he and his wife Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, walked away from royal duties four years ago.

A travel company he controls has filed paperwork this week informing British authorities that he has moved and is now "usually resident" in the United States.

The paperwork was filed by Travalyst Ltd, a company at least 75% owned by Harry and which was founded in 2020 to "to promote global awareness of the importance of sustainable tourism".

Meahwhile, a "royal expert" says that more employees of the monarchy will come forward with stories of being "bullied" by Meghan Markle.


Royal expert Tom Bower, author of "Revenge: Meghan, Harry, and the War Between the Windsors," believes more information about Meghan Markle's alleged bullying will come to light now that a former aide has officially spoken out.

"The trickle of information will, soon enough, become a stream," he wrote in an editorial for the Daily Mail, published Tuesday.

Bower's statement comes one week after former palace aide Samantha Cohen confirmed in an interview with the Australian Herald Sun that she was one of 10 staffers who were questioned about allegations that Markle, 42, "bullied" staffers during her time in the palace.

In 2017, Cohen, who had previously worked for Queen Elizabeth, was tasked with getting Markle ready for the royal family.

Bower wrote on Tuesday, "Certainly, I believe that Ms. Cohen was soon exasperated, within six months or so, and that Meghan either disagreed with, or failed to understand, the non-negotiable elements of royalty. I also believe that members of Samantha Cohen's team viewed this as an irresponsible self-indulgence. Both sides would blame a clash of cultures."

Cohen, who resigned in 2018, said that she was "treated harshly" and compared her former job to "working with teenagers," according to "Courtiers: The Hidden Power Behind the Crown" by Valentine Low.

I'm telling you it's a slow news day. I almost made these two piece-of-shit stories their own post.

The Voyager probe had stopped sending data and was Mostly Dead. But now scientists have remotely fixed it, and it's sending data again.

Turns out all they had to do was try turning it off and then back on.

The US space agency says its Voyager-1 probe is once again sending usable information back to Earth after months of spouting gibberish.

The 46-year-old Nasa spacecraft is humanity's most distant object.

A computer fault stopped it returning readable data in November but engineers have now fixed this.

For the moment, Voyager is sending back only health data about its onboard systems, but further work should get the scientific instruments back online.

Voyager-1 is more than 24 billion km (15 billion miles) away, so distant, its radio messages take fully 22.5 hours to reach us.

"Voyager-1 spacecraft is returning usable data about the health and status of its onboard engineering systems," Nasa said in a statement.

"The next step is to enable the spacecraft to begin returning science data again."

Weirdly, it says its new mission is to "find Creator Kirk." No idea what that means. I guess we'll find out!

A woman riding the LA Metro died after being slashed and stabbed in the neck by a homeless man. No big deal, just all part of California's plan to bring "a diversity of travel outcomes" to riders.

A homeless man with a criminal record was arrested for the stabbing death of an unidentified woman on the Los Angeles Metro train system while she was on her way home from work on Monday morning, officials with the Los Angeles Police Department say. Forty-five-year-old Elliot T. Nowden was arrested for the murder and robbery of the unidentified female victim, who was found with a stab wound in the neck at the Studio City station.
Advertisement

According to police, Nowden approached the 50-year-old victim while still on the train and repeatedly stabbed and slashed her throat before taking her purse. The victim was able to get off the train at the Studio City Station, where she collapsed from her wounds. Police say LA City Fire officials were dispatched to the platform at approximately 4:59 Monday morning regarding a person down call. While responding to the call, dispatchers were updated with several calls stating that the victim was bleeding, but no one approached the victim to ascertain anything about her condition. When authorities arrived, they found the victim bleeding from her neck and transported her to a local hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

Cameras located at the station were able to record most of the incident on video and show Nowden leaving the scene immediately after. Police officers were able to apprehend Nowden approximately 30 minutes later, roughly half a mile from the scene of the crime. After being interviewed by homicide detectives, Nowden was subsequently arrested and charged with murder and held on $2 million bail.

Holding a killer on bail -- now there's an innovative concept.

Germany has passed a law facilitating gender transitions for children This is just about as young as five years old.

This is all about what the kids are telling us, right? Not what their genderblending teachers and evil parents are telling them, right?

At REDUXX:


The German Parliament, or Bundestag, passed one of the world's most far-reaching sex self-determination policies on April 12, despite protests from women's rights campaigners. The Self-Determination Act (SBGG) establishes 'gender identity' as a protected characteristic and allows parents to change the sex marker on their children's documents from birth.

That's misleading, and why I didn't publish this earlier. It lets parents change their child's sex from birth but not at birth. That is, they can go back in time and change the (paper) gender of their children as if it was determined to be the opposite gender at the time of birth.

But they only have to wait until the kid is five years old to do this.

Five year olds are fully-grown adults with mature minds, right?


Supported by Chancellor Olaf Scholz's three-party coalition and promoted and supported by the Socialist Democratic Party (SDP), the SBGG also creates the potential for citizens to be fined up to €10,000 (approx. $10,800 USD) for revealing a person's given name and birth sex without their permission -- an action that trans activists staunchly oppose and refer to as 'deadnaming.'

But arguably the most troubling aspect of the law relates to a portion of the bill which permits parents to alter the recorded sex of children beginning from birth. From the age of five years old, it allows for name and sex changes if there is "mutual consent" between the child and their parents.

Oh, and it lets you change your gender ever single year, but only once per year. If you decide you're a woman in April but then decide you're a non-binary trans-trending male in August, sorry, buddy, but you'll have to wait until the following April to make that official.

...

Crucially, the law includes a ban on disclosure that prohibits naming the sex and former birth name of an individual. This prohibition also applies to family members in the SBGG. Anyone who violates the ban on disclosure will face a fine of up to €10,000, which could discourage family members from coming forward to discuss how the identity change impacts them.


Not a threat -- just pizza and dancing!

The Real Mike Rowe
@mikeroweworks

For a guy who runs a foundation that sends young people to trade schools all over America -- trade schools where I'm pleased to report, no one is calling for the extermination of Jews -- today's headlines are once again offering another excellent reason to consider redirecting whatever financial support you might earmark for the Ivy League, to the mikeroweWORKS Foundation. Why? Because the Ivy League has truly lost its mind.

Consider the latest madness at Columbia University, where the president, Minochuhe Shafik, has announced a new round of remote learning - effective immediately - in response to a noisy rabble of thugs and bullies calling for the eradication of Israel.
If I had a kid at Columbia, I'd be livid. It's simply mind-boggling that the president of this university would rather consign her students to another crucible of remote learning, than permanently expel the protesters. I mean, seriously, what does it take to get expelled from Columbia? These creeps are on camera, literally screaming into the faces of Jewish students.

"They yelled at us to go back to Poland, said we have no culture, and chanted, 'Strike, strike Tel Aviv," said one terrified student. Followed by, "Burn Tel Aviv to the ground," "Go Hamas, we love you, we support your rockets, too."

In a now-infamous image, one demonstrator appeared before a group of counter-protesters holding Israeli and American flags with a sign pointing in their direction that read, "Al-Qasam's next targets."

That's what you get for $68,000 a year at Columbia -- an administration who cowers in the face of thugs and bullies, and a university president who would rather make your kids try to learn off campus, than take a truly hard line with those students calling for the murder of Jews. For the love of God, expel them. Calling for murder is not protected speech.

Via Instapundit, the Telegraph reports that this honey of a firethrowing robotic dog is now on sale.

Called the Thermonator, the four-legged robot comes equipped with an ARC Flamethrower mounted on its back, which is capable of shooting jets of fire up to 30 feet.

Designed by Ohio-based firm Throwflame, the $9,420 (L7,600) robot is not advertised as a weapon, with the manufacturer suggesting possible uses include wildlife control, snow and ice removal and general entertainment.

The German Parliament, or Bundestag, passed one of the world's most far-reaching sex self-determination policies on April 12, despite protests from women's rights campaigners. The Self-Determination Act (SBGG) establishes 'gender identity' as a protected characteristic and allows parents to change the sex marker on their children's documents from birth.

We're told by our sophisticated betters that the disappearance of religious belief will usher in a new, scientific, rational society.

The NY Post article of today, 4:16 pm, is stronger worded, though it also refers to the WSJ article: POLITICS, 'Biden weighs amnesty for 1M illegal spouses of US citizens before election: report'

In part, "The White House is considering granting deportation relief to more than one million people who entered the US illegally before marrying American citizens.

The assist to so-called “mixed-status couples” is seen as another concession to would-be Democratic voters ahead of the Nov. 5 election — and would follow potential executive action by Biden to tighten border security, the Wall Street Journal reports.

The outlet added that administration officials believe any backlash over an amnesty order would be tempered by voter sympathy for the couples.

A final decision is not imminent, but the Journal reported the idea has been gaining traction since the summer of 2023."

So, bet on it.

Female Jewish student surrounded by mob of pro-Palestine activists forming a human chain, to block her from entering Yale University because she is Jewish.

Later in the evening she was also stabbed in the eye with a Palestinian flag whilst on campus.

Plugged it in, moved the router to a more central location of the house (with a newly operational coax) and Viola!, it now worky.

104 Interesting non-distressing development here. They're going to do a reboot of the Highlander films, with Henry Cavill slated to play the Connor MacLeod role. They're emphatically not going to do a re-make, and they're looking at a series of films, with the finale being the determination of the issue that "there can be only one." There's the prospect that either Christopher Lambert or Adrian Paul will be brought on board as the mentor character. They're looking at a 2025 or 2026 release.

204 Actually what the NASA engineers did was give Voyager 1 a POKE command that made it transmit a system dump.

Studying the system dump, they discovered a few bytes of memory in the FDS, I think that's what its called, had been corrupted.

So now they are trying to figure out how to work around the bad memory.

It takes about 22 hours for a command to travel from Earth to Voyager 1.

It's subject to the approval of the Principal or Headmaster, and the teachers will have to have permits.

As someone who thanks God on a daily basis that my Kraut ancestors (on both sides) had the good sense and the courage to make their way here nearly three hundred years ago, I can tell you one thing about the Old Country: Deutschland doesn't do "middle ground" very well. They tend to bury the needle on the right or the left, and especially post-Adolf, it's been on the left (modified with special circumstances during the Cold War).

In a lot of ways, that's been a good thing - a pacifist, pluralistic Germany with a zero tolerance policy for anything Nazi is desirable for the well-being of their European neighbors. But in the last three decades, they've drifted into territory that makes the Weimar period look strait-laced and puritanical.

And the problem is that any reaction to move away from that is - see above. As a positive, sauerkraut can be quite good if made according to the old Deutsch recipe. What most people encounter here is a rushed, pickled nightmare that goes from bad to wurst.

Minnesota State Senator and Democrat AWFL Arrested for Burlarizing Mother-in-Law's Home

She's immune to charges for robbing every other Minnesota citizen.

Minnesota Democratic Senator Nicole Mitchell has been arrested on suspicion of first-degree burglary, just days after posting in support of creating "safer communities" on social media.

Sen. Nicole Mitchell was arrested early Monday in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, following a 911 call about an ongoing burglary at a local residence.

The arrest comes at a critical time for Senate Democrats, who currently hold a slender majority. Mitchell's likely absence could jeopardize the passing of any narrowly supported legislation.

Before her political career, Mitchell served as a meteorologist and is a lieutenant colonel in the Air National Guard. She was elected to the Senate in 2022.


This is a party comprised entirely of criminals, hysterics, perverts, pedophiles, and the unmedicated and unappeasable mentally ill.

I'm sorry for the weak blogging today. It's a slow news day. I'm struggling to find good stuff.

Two-Tier policing:
Metropolitan police deploy police horses after deliberately kettling and cornering a group of English patriots waving English flags, attempting to stop their march.

A scuffle then ensues with police labelling those celebrating St Georges Day as “far right groups and groups linked to football clubs travelling from elsewhere in the UK.”

Metropolitan Police have been widely criticised on X for two-tier policing for their handling of patriotic English demonstrators compared to the way they police pro-Hamas protests, where incitement of hate and violence towards the Jewish community are regularly on display- with limited police response.

Metropolitan police deployed in full riot gear to stop a march of English people waving English flags as they celebrate St Georges Day.

For those unfamiliar with Minnesota, Detroit Lakes is a small town of 10,000 or so people. About 200 miles from Murderapolis. The closest "city" is Fargo, ND. It's one of the places you go when you go "Up North" to go fishing.

101 series The Expanse on Prime.
===
It's not horrible. Somewhat realistic space combat. But some of the characters behave in what I call periodic psychopathy

When the story needs drama, the writers have a character do crazy out of character shit. Which is unexpected because out of character. Then after a character arc, they revert to normal. It's got some interesting characters, that said. It's not awesome. Decent.

102 Shock, questions after gruesome killing of gay Palestinian

"JERUSALEM (AP) — The severed head and decapitated torso of a 25-year-old Palestinian were discovered on the side of a road in the occupied West Bank, police said Friday, confirming gruesome details of a killing that shocked Palestinian society.

But accounts that the victim, Ahmad Abu Murkhiyeh, was a gay man who feared persecution for his sexuality and had sought asylum in Israel two years ago turned the terrible crime into a socially and politically explosive case."

124 My father, at age 65, married a horrible woman who was 32. When he died, she even brought her new boyfriend to my father's funeral. She took all of my dad's personal effects out of his condo- they were separated but not divorced when he died. A lot of items that were of no real value but were sentimental that would have meant a lot to my brother and I. I was angry but the reality is - if he didn't leave us those things in his will, then they are hers. It never would have occurred to me to break in to her house to steal them back.

Kind of like "assault and battery." It's still assault if you don't touch the other person, but since it's not usually charged unless there's also battery, people think of "getting punched in the face in a bar fight" as "assault."

The measure, approved by the agency’s Democratic majority on a 3-to-2 vote, marks the first time in more than 50 years that FTC officials have issued a regulation to mandate an economywide change in how companies compete. The commission has historically operated like a law enforcement agency, investigating and suing individual companies over practices or deals deemed to violate the law."

But for those in the Biden family and those expressly employed by his administration, every other vote in the nation should go to Trump. The "whopping" 11% margin is a gap that should be between a literal handful of gravel versus Biden.

Our national IQ has sunk so low. "Unexpectedly."

198 the Tourist is an Australian series that is pretty good. I like when the actors are unrecognizeable so you only see the character they are playing. For example,if you are watching a Keanu Reeves movie, you always know it is Keanu so makes it harder to suspend disbelief. These Aussie actors are very good.

Illinois politics have been corrupt for so long that corruption is viewed as the normal affairs and outside reformers are viewed with suspicion.

Didn't work for me. The sandrider scenes were exhilarating, but the rewrites to make it fit 21st century thinking were distracting and not terribly well done. Best casting: Oscar Isaac as Duke Leto and Stellan Skarsgård as the Baron. Dave Bautista was adequate to the role of Beast Rabban, and Josh Brolin worked well enough as Gurney.
Didn't think he handled Chani or the BG well. There's a difference between grrrl power, and powerful women. (spoiler- Villeneuve doesn't get it)

I recently learned that, while you can buy the original Fallout, it's censored to make it more palatable to modern audiences and if you want the original you have to install hacks to bring it back.

294 I think Dune 2 is a masterpiece. The cinematography is on level with "Lawrence of Arabia". The Lady Jessica character is spot-on. The BG development is a bit thin because the main focus is on the Atreides: Team A vs. the Emperor vs. the BG vs. the Harkonnens vs. Arrakis. Each of the Atreides' opponents must be confronted, and a two-part film (Dune Part 1 and 2) doesn't leave much room for connective plot and character development We don't see the Guild's participation nor much of Count Fenryg (sp?). But both parts progress smoothly and logically, the action scenes are very good. The Stilgar character is weaker than he should have been. It's the best movie I have seen since Return of the King.

Already Facing a Boycott Over Its Transgender Policy, Planet Fitness Doubles Down and Hires a CEO Specializing In, Get This, "Diversity"

There will be a diversity of penises in the girls' locker room for your daughters to choose from.

Planet Fitness, which plummeted $400 million in value in March after gym-goers boycotted the franchise over a transgender policy, announced it was hiring a new CEO Tuesday who has a history of pushing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).

Colleen Keating headed FirstKey Homes for the past four years, where she signed onto the "CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion pledge," which promises to "continually strive to diversify our workforce, hiring through a DE&I lens to find talent in multiple locations and backgrounds," according to The New York Post.

In LinkedIn post from two years ago she said she signed the CEO DEI pledge "to crystallize my unwavering commitment to advancing #diversity, #equity and #inclusion in the workplace and the communities we serve."

"I was proud to be a part of this critical conversation with my peers who are equally committed to making our workplaces trusting places to have complex, and sometimes difficult, conversations about diversity and inclusion, implement and expand unconscious bias education, share best practices (and lessons learned!), and create and share strategic inclusion and diversity plans," the post added.

In a 2022 interview with Triple Pundit, Keating said ensuring the corporate DEI push isn't just a flash in the pan but "starts with DEI being embedded in a company's culture and clearly demonstrated in words and actions across the organization. When we stop thinking about DEI as a 'program' and recognize it as an imperative that's woven into the very fabric of our company then DEI can't be a half-measure or a failure."

When reached for comment, Planet Fitness pointed to its press release announcing Keating's hiring.

In other words: They declined comment.


...

The Western New England University graduate is set to replace Chris Rondeau as CEO of the "judgment free zone" gym on June 10. The Post reports Planet Fitness shares fell by an additional 1.7% earlier this week.


The decline started with the story of Patricia Silva, a Planet Fitness regular in Fairbanks, Alaska, who sparked outrage on social media by recounting her experience of seeing "a man with a penis" shaving in the women's locker room in front of what appeared to be a 12-year-old girl.

Meanwhile, demonstrating that the trans movement is at heart just a movement about "love," the pediatrician who wrote the Cass Report, Hillary Cass, which cautioned about the anti-science behind the trans movement, has been warned to stay out of public transportation for her own safety.

The doctor behind a landmark review of the NHS's gender identity services for children and young people has said fears had been raised about her personal safety amid online abuse after the report's release.

Dr Hilary Cass told the Times she wished to address the "disinformation" circulating about the findings and recommendations handed down by the Cass review when it was published on 10 April.

She said she had received online abuse in the wake of the report and had been advised to stop using public transport.

The report said the evidence base for gender medicine in young people had been thin and children had been let down by a "toxic" public discourse around gender.
Thanks to Cass, evidence not ideology will be used to guide children seeking gender advice


Cass told the Times: "I have been really frustrated by the criticisms, because it is straight disinformation. It is completely inaccurate.

"It started the day before the report came out when an influencer posted a picture of a list of papers that were apparently rejected because they were not randomised control trials.

"That list has absolutely nothing to do with either our report or any of the papers."

Referring to the online abuse she had received, she said: "There are some pretty vile emails coming in at the moment, most of which my team is protecting me from, so I'm not getting to see them."

She added: "I'm not going on public transport at the moment, following security advice, which is inconvenient."

She's been scared out of doing a similar report on adult transgender "therapy:"

NHS England has since announced a second Cass review-style appraisal of adult gender clinics. Cass confirmed to the Times that she would not take part in the adult report after the abuse she suffered in recent weeks.

She said: "You heard it right here: I am not going to do the adult gender clinic review."

She knows better than to blaspheme against the trans cult a second time.

I would drop the franchise, repaint, rename and move on. And then dare them to sue me for not waiting the requisite period for reopening.

So, they have to double down. Doing something a little more conservative to recover just means that you're letting the "right" thing they were right!

82 I think a lot of their business is corporate. At least in CA it is. They have various scams where employees get free membership, or just a discount but the return is very good since it is access to a larger pool of members, and these members don't really attend.

The corporations do this to qualify for reduced rate on group health insurance. I don't know a lot about this (calling WD?)

So I am not so sure how much this trans stuff will impact many of the clubs. Not because the members don't care, but because most of their revenue is from people who don't show up anyway.

In LinkedIn post from two years ago she said she signed the CEO DEI pledge "to crystallize my unwavering commitment to advancing #diversity, #equity and #inclusion in the workplace and the communities we serve."

++++
First, "unwavering." Good. I think that will be tested. I hope it is, and that she proves it out, and tanks her company.

Who are FirstKey Homes? It's a corporate landlord that lets out single-family homes in a few big blue cities. Per a Moody's assessment of a couple of the company's special-purpose trusts, leverage is over 90%, plus this gem:
Tenant quality: The tenants are of a weaker credit quality compared to other SFR operators. ... almost 52% of the tenants are not paying through ACH, which is the norm for the SFR sector ... . Some of the tenants are paying their with a credit card

So she's a DEI aficionado and her last job was running a company that is leveraged to the hilt and rents out properties in a handful of big blue cities to subprime renters.

Great choice, guys.

I knew this would end poorly and ignored it as I had always done.

Not long after a female employee noticed a male, muslim employee follow her in. She demanded he not do so and...it led to an incredible arguing match.

They both went to HR. He claimed she was racist and bigoted against Muslims. She claimed he was a misogynist who hated women.

He "won" as she was told to shut up and not bother muslims again...because at the time Muslim was higher on the victim stack then AWFL and the company was very woke but...the company then sent a follow up email telling people to NOT argue with others coming in the door...

That's hilarious. She had a *real* argument - "tailgating is against security policy, and I upheld the policy by refusing to let him in without badging through, and then he started shouting at me and that is not an appropriate response to the enforcement of security policy."

There. That's a cut-and-dried, simple, policy-based argument that she would have won. But instead she went woke. AWFLs, man.

From what I recall Texas law prevents any child under 10 from being charged with a crime. There were two brothers recently in Fort Worth that attacked an older lady in her garage and stabbed her multiple times. She recovered but it was close. The 12 yo was charged with assault but they could not charge the 8 year old because of Texas laws.

One of the benefits of loser gyms like PF - before it went woke, but I'm talking about the model - is accessibility. There are a lot of them (easy) and it's far less humiliating to be a fat weakling just getting started there than it would be at, say, a Gold's Gym franchise.

212 I thought the whole point of a cult is so not so good looking dudes could bang hot young women. The tranny cult is the worst cult ever.

I suspect part of the tranny mania from the elites is they know they've created a shortage of available women - both through de facto polygamy for elites and turning so many women into spherical harridans with danger hair.

So how do you deal with all those low status men that will never get a woman? Convince some of them to become women and the rest that getting a transwoman for a partner is perfectly normal...

Well, it's an informal fallacy, even as fallacy.

But I agree. And I have often said that when you're talking about people--and specifically about "progress", "Slippery Slope" isn't quite the fallacy that strict Logic makes it.

Also, in good narcissistic form, eschewing the review of their own violations: the lefties make all sorts of Slippery Slope arguments (and their equivalents) about every hour.

You can't elect a person who closes the border--That's FASCISM!

Nope, fascism is a much more pervasive form of government that doesn't just start with control of borders.

Actually, I'll amend what I said: It's hard to find a political expression on the left that intends to shame conservatives that is NOT in form a "Slippery Slope" argument.

But the left just dispenses with the more arguable form of it: "X leads to Y" and simply says "X IS (effectually) Y"

Basically correct. The Space Marines are the most popular army in the game...genetically modified super soldiers, fighting for humanity and the emperor of mankind against a relentless onslaught of various aliens hellbent on eradicating human kind.

For 40+ years, Space Marines have all been male, due to a variety of story reasons (validating issues with original female space Marines models not selling, as I understand, when the game was young).

Now, not only have they added female Space Marines suddenly, they've made them part of the Emperor's elite bodyguard. Worse yet, when fans pushed back, Games Workshop responded by saying "there have always been female Custodes (the bodyguards)", which the abundant lore of the last 40 years shows is false. Worse still, fan favorite Games Workshops sites have revealed themselves to be shills, parroting GW's lies and attacking fans as toxic.

Worse yet, when fans pushed back, Games Workshop responded by saying "there have always been female Custodes (the bodyguards)", which the abundant lore of the last 40 years shows is false. Worse still, fan favorite Games Workshops sites have revealed themselves to be shills, parroting GW's lies and attacking fans as toxic.

Amid Violence and Chants of "Death to America" and "Burn Tel Aviv to the Ground," the Gaslight Media Races to Give the Pro-Hamas Criminals a Media Glow-Up

Below, aggressive "protesters" demand that Jews leave "their space," which is Columbia University's grounds, where the Jews in question are paying a hundred grand a year to attend.

They also demand that spectators observe their self-declared "community guidelines" and not photograph them as they publicly protest in a public space.

Also, pro-Hamas, pro-war leftists chanted "kill another [Jewish] soldier" and "Burn Tel Aviv to the ground."


This is America now. This is no longer your country.


The New York Times decided that the most accurate way to describe these criminal protests was to highlight the... dancing and pizza.

nytimespizza.jpg

OUT: Mostly peaceful

IN: Mostly pizza


Colonizers at NYU have decided to, in solidarity with the foreign colonizers at Columbia, occupy lands that don't belong to them and demand that people who have the right to be there leave.

On Monday morning a "Liberated Zone" encampment was set up at New York University's Gould Plaza by pro-Hamas agitators, in "solidarity" with their comrades at Columbia University. The protest from the encampment became disorderly, and protesters have now breached the university's barricades and are refusing to leave.


Administrators initially allowed the protest to continue and added the "safety requirement" that no additional people enter the zone. Not surprisingly, the protesters didn't comply with that requirement and breached the barricades around NYU buildings by early afternoon.

Despite violating the law and even the suspension-of-the-law rules the university offered the "protesters," no police have been called to arrest the colonizers.

Update: That article was from yesterday, earlier in the day. After it was published, police began arresting "protesters."

51 What Is Really Going On at Columbia University? From Slate, an interview with the current editor of the student newspaper, Colin Roedl..."The university introduced security forces to disrupt peaceful protest simply because they want to appease the people who are watching the congressional hearings and who are asking questions in bad faith...

...There are alarmists framing this all around antisemitism, or a crusade against Jewish students, whom are hiding or being pushed out of campus. I don’t think any of us have seen that."


Joy Reid interviewed one of the student organizers, and she was adamant that the anti-semitism was not from them but from outside groups protesting in a different location. She indicates their protest is about peace and advocating for violence against Jews would be against all they stand for. I believed her.

We have to be careful about the videos online. Two of the worst ones I have seen (including Go back to Poland) were shot on public streets near the university, not on campus. The president of Columbia can hardly be expected to police those areas.

67 51 Joy Reid interviewed one of the student organizers, and she was adamant that the anti-semitism was not from them but from outside groups protesting in a different location. She indicates their protest is about peace and advocating for violence against Jews would be against all they stand for. I believed her.

We have to be careful about the videos online. Two of the worst ones I have seen (including Go back to Poland) were shot on public streets near the university, not on campus. The president of Columbia can hardly be expected to police those areas.

Either the cops show up and it gets violent and the melee ends up with a body count, or the cops just don't show up and now there can be no question about who is in charge and the means of response. Neither is good.

Other kid is bringing me home kale, basil, turnips, and some argula seeds from her university's free garden produce give away (skipped the tomatoes b/c she said they didn't look good)...so, a good week (she skipped all the other Tuesday give aways til today, but today's event worked and I need some veg)...

218 Secret Ballot. Same day voting. ID. Honor. Voter integrity.

But even then, it would not necessarily be moral. (which is actually an argument or the argument the commies use to disable vote protections.)
-
Well, no, morality isn't the purpose of voting.

The point of voting is to put decision making power in the hands of the people who bear the consequences of the decisions, rather than the few who tend to be able to insulate themselves.

The accumulation of consequences, one hopes, might lead to more moral understanding, though I don't see much of that.

On Friday night, May 3, 1970, the "peaceful Viet Nam war protesters" set fire to and burned down the ROTC building at Kent State. The prevented the local fire dept from responding. Large crowds roamed the streets, and it was beyond the ability of the local police to control the town. The people that lived in Kent were terrified. The Ohio State Highway patrol was on the scene, and relayed this tactical report to Governor Jim Rhodes, who mobilized the National Guard to restore order on May 4, 1970.

283 Two points.

1. muslims often say the palis or the muslims in the West are bad, and in Egypt, Syria, Jordan,... everyone behaves. The problem is that comparing crime rates in S. A to crime rates when in Western countries is irrelevant. Their ideology creates a problem which can only be solved by the tyranny of their ideology. So our open societies accept them, they protest, crime, and terrorize, and then the solution is to convert to sharia. This is unworkable.

2. The muslim countries like to say that palis are not their problem and they can not be expected to take them. That is their negotiating position and it does us no good to concede that point up front. Especially since they created the problem and that is the only solution. By saying "oh the palis caused trouble in ...." we are arguing for perpetual war on the West.

Romanticism is one of the movements that splits in a lot of different directions, so you can't draw a straight line from it to Hitler.

However, one strain of it definitely contained a lot of fascination with "creative destruction" and the power of sheer human will to remake existence, and in that sense there is a connection to Nazism. Not to mention Marxism.

Agree.

When a group of people are famous for being unstable, you can't really characterize their full potential one way or the other.

The hippies were simply reactors. They were like children acting out. They claimed positive motives mostly as cover, and a way to attack the older generations for falling short of their own standards (which at least they had, to some degree or other).

You're missing my point. Yes, language families tend to start out being spoken by related groups of people. But, since language is a learned behavior, it is not limited to a particular genetic group.

That's because they are first narcissists. And a narcissist lacks the ability to self-reflect and self-correct. You're "a Nazi" because they don't like you and you might want things they don't want for themselves.

My only guess as to why Biden is on the upswing is the lawfare. Plus, I suppose, the jobs numbers-- altho these are in dispute if you look at some of the details. Consumer confidence has been improving as well.

Democrat Party Takes a Cut of Donations for Bail for Pro-Hamas Criminals;
NFL Donated to Group Providing Free Bail to Terrorism Supporters

The Soros-backed Tides Foundation is bailing out the criminals shutting down our key infrastructure in an effort to strangle the country into compliance with the terror agenda.

And the Democrat Party is actually taking a cut of these bloodstained donations. The Democrat Party's funding platform, ActBlue, is raising money for the "A15 Action and Community Justice Exchange," which is bailing out the terrorists.

And ActBlue takes a piece of each donation.


Police across the United States arrested dozens of "Free Palestine" protesters Monday as part of a "multi-city economic blockade" targeting major airports, highways, and bridges. Those defendants are set to receive free bail money and legal assistance thanks to an online fundraiser hosted by ActBlue, the Democratic Party's primary fundraising platform that earns a cut off of each contribution.


The "bail and legal defense fund," organized by A15 Action and Community Justice Exchange, remains live on ActBlue's website roughly 24 hours after the protests caused chaos in cities such as San Francisco, Chicago, Philadelphia, and New York City. The fundraising platform--which is used by President Joe Biden and every major Democratic congressional campaign--earns a 3.95 percent transaction fee each time a donor contributes to the fund, according to its policies.

ActBlue's website states that its fundraising platform is exclusively available to groups whose "work is not at odds with values including, but not limited to, social equality; women's rights; LGBTQIA2S+ rights; racial justice; diversity; freedom of speech; disability rights; and respect for scientific inquiry, discovery, and data."

The link between ActBlue raising funds for activists that deliberately "coordinate[d] to disrupt and blockade economic logistical hubs and the flow of capital" in solidarity with "Palestine" highlights the blurred boundary between the Democratic Party's anti-Israel faction and its mainstream establishment.

ActBlue did not respond to a request for comment.

Protesters on Monday aimed to disrupt economic "choke points" to maximize financial disruption, as stated on their website. Activists were advised to refrain from engaging with police, with the promise of receiving "money bail, court fees and fines" and other legal services from Community Justice Exchange upon arrest.

That's the old news -- the new news is that the NFL is also funding the Community Justice Exchange.

Or at least they have funded it, as late as 2022, and are still promoting it on their website.

The left-wing nonprofit that bailed out anti-Israel protesters who blocked bridges and highways across the country last week was a multi-year partner of the NFL's "Inspire Change program" whose work is still promoted on the NFL's website.

Community Justice Exchange set up a "bail and legal defense fund" for those arrested during last week's A15 protests. The protests targeted major airports, highways, and bridges in dozens of U.S. cities including San Francisco, Chicago, New York City, and Philadelphia. Their explicit goal was to disrupt economic "choke points" to maximize financial disruption, as explained on their website.

The online fundraiser, hosted by ActBlue and organized in conjunction with A15 Action, told donors that the funds will "support community members who are criminalized in the U.S. for their solidarity with Palestine."

As an official "Inspire Change" partner, the Community Justice Exchange received grants and publicity in its work "to end money bail and pre-trial detention at the local level and immigration detention at the national level." The NFL's partnership with the Community Justice Exchange was last extended in June 2022, according to an announcement from the league. The league touted the left-wing group's "work with organizers, advocates, and legal providers across the country that are using community bail funds as part of efforts to radically change local bail systems and reduce incarceration." The grants went toward "coordinating and supporting the 100+ local protest to bail funds and a centralized rapid response fund to support those protesting for racial justice."

The partnership appears to have since lapsed--the nonprofit wasn't on the list of grantees announced in May 2023. The NFL's "Inspire Change" website lists Community Justice Exchange under "Previous Grant Recipients" and still includes a link to the group's website.

The NFL's promotion of the left-wing group underscores the extent to which anti-Israel groups have been propped up by major donors and institutions in the United States. Community Justice Exchange is also a project of the Tides Center--a left-wing dark money network funded by George Soros and other prominent liberal billionaires like Pierre Omidyar. The Tides Center serves as a hub for a variety of left-wing groups, channeling substantial funds from affluent donors and functioning as a "fiscal sponsor," enabling them to sidestep IRS registration.

Neither the NFL nor Community Justice Exchange responded to requests for comment.

All of the terrorist satellite organizations, from the Democrat Party to the NFL, are refusing to comment.

The only thing that might break that system is to look yourself up in the FEC and deduct everything "you" donated from your taxes. If enough people do that, the tax man might decide to intervene.

And then you realize, it was used to recruit YOU or your sons and daughters, to go fight their perpetual wars...

Man dies after record 613-day infection with COVID-19, researchers say

"According to the news release, the 72-year-old man was immunocompromised and had received multiple COVID-19 vaccinations before he caught the virus.

The man was considered immunocompromised because he had a history of blood disorders and had previously received stem cell transplants."


Leprosy and lung cancer were contributing factors.

115 Soros is rich, but he's not *that* rich. He's barely in the top 500 richest men list. He's worth under $7 billion. He's a bit player in the top-of-the-top-of-the-top rich guy game.

$7 billion is a shit-ton of money, but Soros seems to have outsized influence, even in his shitty group. As near as I can tell, one of two things is going on:
1. He's the world's most capable "value investor" in activism, and sees tremendous ROI, allowing him to make relatively small moves and yet still buy huge results (the DAs would likely be an example)
2. He's a front man, and much of what says "Soros" on the package is actually financed by others.

I strongly suspect most of the reality is through door number two, and that he's essentially a money launderer and public face. I don't know, though, and I have no idea who the many sources of capital are if so.

I assume this new term is to make Republicans sound less like patriots defending the homeland and more like people who take people's rights away. You know, stealing your democracy.

The GOPe intentionally sabotages GOTV and election security as everyone knows.

But the other thing which isn't talked about as much is building up a group of NGOs and the like to employ conservative activists.

This is how the left always has well funded activists when it needs them, and why lefties in the corporate/government world have no fear on acting on the left's behalf - the worst thing that will happen to them is they lose their current job and get a higher paying, higher status job in the left's NGO structure.

130 Sure, but what I imagine to happen is that there is a room of 5-10 folks with the job of making these donations, and they just grab a handful of names out of the phone book, make the donations add up to less than $200, and Bob's your uncle. No way to track down the "donors" because they'll have no idea what the hell you're talking about.

I strongly suspect that it's more sophisticated than that. You don't want to use random names, because the odds of getting caught goes up and you could cause real problems. If you use John Doe as a borrowed name to donate a total of $2,500 and then he tries to donate $2,000 to his candidate, it's going to be a problem.

But they are a real fundraising org and have real donor lists that are already vetted. It would be easy to find people who have made small-money donations in the past then filter it for people who only donate small total sums. There, you have a good pool of borrowed names with both a history of political giving *and* a history of leaving you room to maneuver. And if you ask those people, "did you donate to ActBlue," they just answer, "yes."

Much safer and harder to detect

The Republican Party has been rotting from the head for decades, has done everything it could to undermine its own voters and policy preferences in favor of the policy preferences of its larger donors, and it's been openly at war with its own base for decades. Also, every "campaign finance reform" bill gets massive Republican support in Congress even though all of them have these mysteriously unpredicted knock-on effects of making donations more centrally controlled rather than less.

But sure, it's reasonable to assume that they do no hankey-pankey with donation money.

171 But they are a real fundraising org and have real donor lists that are already vetted. It would be easy to find people who have made small-money donations in the past then filter it for people who only donate small total sums. There, you have a good pool of borrowed names with both a history of political giving *and* a history of leaving you room to maneuver. And if you ask those people, "did you donate to ActBlue," they just answer, "yes."

Much safer and harder to detect

Disagree in part. Using the names of frequent small-dollar donors is a dangerous game because if that person donates even $5 after someone else donated $196 in his name, he's pushed over the reporting threshold and his name now appears on an FEC report with his dollar amount next to it. Someone asks him why he donated $201 to the candidate and he can show he only donated $195, that's a problem.

You have to use people that you're almost certain will NOT donate.

Not frequent. That's the point. People who *have* donated in the past, but do *not* donate frequently or in large total quantities. The guys who throw $20 at ActBlue every now and again or, ideally, only did so once a couple of years ago. That's what I mean by "maneuvering room" - totals and frequency. Non-frequent is best, and I am sure ActBlue - and WinRed, of course - have those lists.

The people who were used as straw donors were by and large low and/or fixed income, who had given a small amount in the past. They were surprised to hear that they'd given $10,000 or more, all in small donations.

And has a legitimate purpose, too, which makes it harder. The legitimate purpose is finding a well that can be tapped. Someone who gave before is more likely to give again. Professional fundraisers - political, religious, academic, etc. - across the board make a living doing this.

Or, you know, you can use it to find straw donors for the purpose of laundering money.

Trump's supporting it because he's playing politics and wants the GOPe on his side, so he supports what's important to them.

The Act Blue Money Laundering Scheme – What Can You Do to Help?

This article has been written to support a video I recently launched describing the ActBlue Campaign Finance Money Laundering scheme. In that video I provided a brief reference to how interested activists can help document the part of this conspiracy or money laundering operation which may be occurring near where you live. If you want to better understand how this apparent campaign finance money laundering operation works, you can watch the video below.

261 ActBlue: The Left’s Favorite “Dark Money” Machine

https://bit.ly/44f0NCP

As InfluenceWatch explains, ActBlue is a service for left-wing groups and Democratic politicians to fundraise without setting up an online donation infrastructure themselves. Money passes through ActBlue to the ultimate recipient and ActBlue collects a fee as payment. This also has the added effect of obscuring the ultimate recipient, since money passing through ActBlue looks like a donation to ActBlue -- not to, say, Black Lives Matter.

Hundreds of groups ranging from left-leaning to far-left use this platform, funneling an incredible $1.5 billion into political causes so far in the 2019-2020 election cycle. Its proved so successful that it spawned a conservative analogue, WinRed, which has raised $235 million for Republicans in the same period.

But the trick to ActBlue is understanding that it’s a single brand encompassing 3 separate nonprofits: a 501(c)(3) called ActBlue Charities, a 501(c)(4) called ActBlue Civics, and a PAC (also called a “527” simply called ActBlue. These groups all share leadership and office space but are legally distinct entities.

Posted by: t-bird at April 23, 2024 03:29 PM (GN7By)

263 ActBlue: The Left’s Favorite “Dark Money” Machine

The real story missed by the media and pundits is far more disturbing.

ActBlue Charities and ActBlue Civics file Form 990 reports with the IRS, meaning that their top-line finances are publicly disclosed. (ActBlue PAC is governed by the Federal Election Commission and so files different reports.) In 2018 (the latest year available), ActBlue Charities reported almost $24 million in revenues and ActBlue Civics took in an impressive $49 million.

But nearly all the money ActBlue Charities and ActBlue Civics paid out is reported generically in one lump, as "passed-through contributions" -- meaning those ActBlue nonprofits don't have to disclose which groups they passed money to or how much each group received in total.

Considering the Left's loathing for untraceable "dark money," that's shocking hypocrisy.

Supreme Court Seems Ready to Overturn 9th Circus' Judge-Made Law That Homeless People Are Allowed to Sleep On the Streets (At Least Until Cities Build Free Houses for Every Single Homeless Person)

One (1) aspect of the downfall of California isn't actually Gavin Newsom's doing, unbelievably enough. Cities on the west coast allow permanent homeless encampments because the leftwing circus called the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decided to make up their own laws and imposed the rule that homeless people must be permitted to camp wherever they like, until and unless governments create housing for all of them.

The Supreme Court is finally getting around to reviewing this lawless ruling.

The U.S. Supreme Court appears to be leaning towards supporting an Oregon city's crackdown on public sleeping, a decision that could have far-reaching implications for the escalating homelessness crisis under the Biden administration. The case, which challenges lower court rulings that deemed it "cruel and unusual" to fine or jail individuals sleeping on public land if no shelter is available, could redefine how cities and states manage the growing number of people living in tents, cars, and on the streets.

...

The Supreme Court's more liberal justices have suggested that the city's law amounts to unlawfully targeting individuals simply because they are homeless. Justice Sotomayor argued that "You don't arrest babies who have blankets over them. You don't arrest people who are sleeping on the beach," while Justice Kagan stated that "Sleeping is a biological necessity. It's sort of like breathing. ... But I wouldn't expect you to criminalize breathing in public."

However, the court's conservative justices have questioned where the line should be drawn between someone's conduct, which can be legally punished, and a status they are unable to change, which cannot be punished. They also suggested that homelessness is a complex policy problem and questioned whether courts should be responsible for managing it.

The conservative justices seemed especially receptive to this obviously-true notion that judges shouldn't be writing the laws.

62 One of the things I think about here is how cities have effectively created the concept of public spaces. It exists in all sorts of laws, and has essentially corrupted the way humans interact, to the point where this is where we are.

Suppose you own a business, or you own buildings in which your rent space so others can operate businesses...

Who owns the sidewalk? Who owns the parking spaces in front of your building?

Seems to me much of this could be fixed if we simply started with the premise cities don't own the "public" spaces, except maybe... MAYBE the roads.

Sleeping all over cities like invading locusts *is* conduct and -- by their own statement -- can be legally punished. A status they are unable to change would be having black hair or green eyes. Homelessness can be changed if one takes advantage of all the free programs that exist to lift you out of it.

She (a 16 yo) said her parents wouldn't let her boyfriend stay with them, so she is living with her boyfriend in the woods out in a tent.

Basically, her desire to fuck him was greater than her desire for shelter. Ridiculous.

This is only a single data point, but there are idiots like this, along with the truly mentally ill, and drug addicts (i.e. bums) that have burned every friendship and relationship.

This is a good point, but you assume that their purpose is rehabilitation instead of just releasing them back onto the streets unaltered.

Remember, if your driving impulse is that racism caused all of these people to be put in prison in the first place, you also do not believe that there is anything that needs to be changed or rehabilitated about them.

=======
Under existing court decisions, one cannot be punished for something like homosexuality (which the courts have falsely decided based on bad science that one is born into it) despite it having some components that constitute action. So homelessness per se cannot be made illegal by a city but camping outside in public and private areas can be because they are not in effect necessary. Add in mental illness of street people where the Court decisions in the 70's opened the floodgates and you get our current crisis.
Classic example where the individualism of the 70's creates a tragedy of the commons in cities.

Gets complicated but I suspect that the 9th is going to get overruled here. Street druggies will be the hardest hit--they either have to clean up and live in shelters, spend time in the graybars motel, or leave to other destinations that will tolerate their druggie ness and mental illness components.

201 When I was living in Tampa, buddies and I grabbed lunch at this pizza place and ordered too much. Took some to go in a clear plastic container.

Homeless dude shouts to me, "You ain't going to eat all that."

I looked at the box and shouted back, "You're right."

Handed him the box and he was shocked (and happy).

I was shocked that he actually accepted the food and didn't ask for cash instead.

One does however arrest those using drugs, defecating, and having sex on the beaches.

One does not preclude the other which is the silliness of modern leftism. There is literally no boundary that they are willing to accept for their peeps but every calumny and punishment that can be conjured by government for the 'squares'.

Idiotic beautiful loser sentiments where a drugged out zombie is worth more than a poor sob taxpayer struggling to keep a roof over his head, his kids from being transed at the public school, and keeping from being assaulted by bums when he goes to work. Asshole leftism that applies the punishment to those that the upper class deems deplorable and uses the various criminals, illegals, and mentally ill to do it.

Scotus created much of the homelessness crisis when they made it difficult to treat the mentally ill if they were not willing to be treated. The folks that like them some drugs to 'party' are also to blame and the whole whattaboutism about alcohol compared to illegal drugs is annoying.

Running natural experiments allowing people with mental illness to treat themselves with the drugs du jour and live how they want to live in public places or squatting on private property results in the same mess in cities that Britain got into after the Enclosures Act and gin.

In some ways, our path is worse than theirs in that we enable by direct government spending to make the situation worse in our cities for citizens which makes them unlivable unless you have the means to screen them out of your life via politics or wealth.

My thing is, you can be as feral as you like. On your own private property. What you don't have the right to do is impose it on the rest of us, in our homes, on our land, around our businesses.

Which is why the state being perceived as the "owners" of all public land creates the problem for the rest of us, because the state owns these people too, so you just have to deal with it.

These are but a few ways Columbia U can deal with the situation.

Posted by: Moron Robbie

Fairly easy to fix the situation but neither the courts nor the legislatures want to do it. First, reopen all the state hospitals and staff them properly. Second, mandatory drug treatment programs with lengthy probation terms on all drug offenses requiring mandatory drug testing at regular intervals or being treated behind bars.
Third, as in this case, allow cities and states to prevent druggies and mentally ill from taking over the streets and fund flophouses that take them in but require them to live by rules.

Whether or not you can sleep on the beach is not some technical matter of law, but an easily accessible concept. So why is she not able to get it right. Sure, you can sleep on the beach...during hours that it is open. No beach that I know is open over night.

A Brooklyn man has been convicted of 13 weapons charges after having been arrested and charged in 2022 for building his own firearms. Dexter Taylor’s ordeal could become a landmark Second Amendment case in light of the Bruen ruling handed down in the same year.



Taylor, a 52-year-old New York native and a software engineer, discovered the world of gunsmithing years ago. He decided to take it up as a hobby and possibly turn it into a business later. However, when a joint ATF/NYPD task force discovered he was legally buying parts from various companies, they opened up an investigation that led to a SWAT raid and arrest.

336 327 Over 100 years ago when employment law and minimum wage and all that wasn't such a bitch, a lot of shops would hire vagrants to do menial tasks in exchange for a couple of meals. They'd come in, sweep up, move some boxes around, whatever, then get their bowl of soup. As long as you were "able-bodied" you could sustain yourself.

Unions and the FDR administration collaborating with them believe in making labor expensive and preventing competition for it. One of the more idiotic perversion of labor economics and seen in places like California where the leg dictated the $20 buck minimum wage which will lead to job losses, business losses, etc. This is so the labor union contracts based on x dollars more than the minimum wage can increase.

Even the Soviets found that you cannot force people into doing economic activity for no benefit to themselves. Adam Smith solved that problem years ago with his two works---A Theory of Moral Sentiments that later led to his Wealth of Nations.--using people's self interest always works better than government diktats in the long run.

- drugs are bad and need to be prohibited by The State, since freedom and all that but if you are on drugs you become a burden to society.

- The welfare state is unworkable. It encourages what it tries to eliminate.

- Crime must be punished harshly. If not by community/family, then by criminal justice system.

These are anathema to the progressive project. they can never admit they are wrong.

The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

punk-monkey.jpg

The archetype of the European Jew has subsumed the reality of worldwide Jewry. Scholarly, studious, non-confrontational, more interested in the intellectual than the physical. And of course the prevailing historical truism that millions of Jews went meekly to the slaughter from 1933 to 1945.

And this well-meaning fool accepts the paradigm that Jews don't fight, that we should run away and let the "authorities" calm the waters before we return.

Columbia rabbi tells Jewish students to leave campus, warns that school, NYPD 'cannot guarantee your safety'

"The events of the last few days, especially last night, have made it clear that Columbia University's Public Safety and the NYPD cannot guarantee Jewish students' safety in the face of extreme antisemitism and anarchy," Buechler wrote. "It deeply pains me to say that I would strongly recommend you return home as soon as possible and remain home until the reality in and around campus has dramatically improved."

He is wrong.

Jews have been fighting for as long as we have been a people. We fought the Babylonians, we fought the Greeks, we fought the Romans, and we even fought God! He described us as a "stiff-necked" people.

And the Lord said to Moses: I have seen this people and behold! they are a stiff necked people.
-- Exodus 32:9

The modern state of Israel never got the message about not fighting. Many of the people who were instrumental in the refounding of Israel were survivors of the Holocaust. They had seen first-hand the world's indifference to the Nazi's destruction of European Jewry, and they knew that without self-determination, it would happen again and again.

That self-determination required fighting...lots and lots of fighting. It began even before the state of Israel was formally founded, and it has never stopped. The idea that American and European Jews can insulate themselves from the world-wide hatred of Jews, Judaism, and Israel is irrational in the extreme. We will always be hated by some; we will always be attacked by some; and we will never be safe unless we embrace the historical stiff-necked attitude of Jews and say, "NO!" We will not cower. We will not run. We will fight.

here are appropriate archetypes for Jews...

Zivia Lubetkin

She was one of the leaders of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and one of only 34 fighters to survive the war. After leading her group of surviving fighters through the sewers of Warsaw with the aid of Simcha "Kazik" Rotem in the final days of the ghetto uprising (on May 30, 1943), she continued her resistance activities in the rest of Warsaw outside the ghetto. She took part in the Polish Warsaw Uprising in 1944.

Mordecai Anielewicz
Mordecai Anielewicz (born 1919, Wyszków, Poland -- died May 8, 1943, Warsaw) was a hero and principal leader of armed Jewish resistance in the Warsaw ghetto during World War II.

A Kibbutz in israel was renamed "Yad Mordechai" after him, and they managed to fight off most of the Egyptian army for several days in May of 1948. It delayed them enough that the rest of Israel was able to organize a defense.

THAT'S how it's done.

21 Self selecting. Many of the Jews who wanted to fight and survived the Holocaust would have seen the idea of Israel as very attractive. To walk openly and hold their heads up high as free men.

This plays into a theory of mine regarding Europe's disparate attitudes to Jews v. Muslims.

Medieval and modern Europe had never known the Jews as a fighting people. But they did fight the Muslims, first the Arabs, then the Turks. So they respected the Muslims for their martial prowess, if not their religion. But because they had so such experience with Jewish military prowess, they tended to look down on them as unmanly. And those attitudes have been carried over to the present day.

Justs a theory.

I have no problem with protests. I have a major problem with the Hamas support, the “Death to America” bullshit and the rampant antisemitism at these protests and on the campuses in general.

Hamas has a hell of a propaganda machine.

Yeah. Israel's bombs and over 13000 dead children.

War sucks. And it's wise to not start one. Hopefully, the terrorists won't attack Israel again, though Hamas has promised that they will.

You know what else sucks? Genocide and war crimes. Nothing fucking excuses that. Israel and their Netanyahu are guilty of both.

No equity in war. You can't hit someone in the face and then whine as they beat the crap out of you.

Biden's between a rock and a hard place. We support Israel existing, if we didn't, they would be destroyed. Bibi is a deranged Trump, bombing to keep in power. But then Iran launches 300 missiles and drones at Israel and it crystalizes that they're under existential threat every single day.

Then the university has failed. If they had to close because of unmanageable disruptions on campus, they are failing to deliver the promised services that they charge for.

131 Is it ignorance or willful ignorance that nobody outside of this blog and a few other places seems to get to the heart of the matter, that the so called palestinians have as their foundational belief that all Jews must die.

Their goal is to eliminate Israel and all of the people in it, prior to taking the same strategy to the rest of the globe.

There was a massive upswing in egg prices a couple of years ago that had more to do with a bird flu epidemic than inflation. It got used a lot on our side as proof of how bad inflation was, but inflation was only a part of the problem with it. Once the flu effects went away, egg prices crashed.

They're still higher than they were pre-Biden, but the days of $5 per dozen are gone. I remember watching the prices jump up in my own stores, and now they're back down to something like $2 per dozen.

The genius twit, her every breath worshiped by hundreds of millions of people, just discovered there are people in the world who disagree with her and can't hack it. And she has no sense of who she is anymore which is what happens when you donate your soul.

200 And as I mentioned yesterday, choose your Theocracy wisely, because one that's simply based on majority whim - which is the choice of those who think they can avoid living in one - will ALWAYS turn into hell.

Even a hateful miserable nonsense spewer like Dawkins can no longer ignore the obvious fact that Christianity is the Wall. And all he is is an old guy who has just seen one thing too many. You think you want what's on the other side of the wall - enjoy it, partner.

And as you get viciously torn limb from limb by all the flaws of humanity you thought you could run from, you'll only be asking in the end how a loving God could ever possibly abandon you to that, continuing to strike at the one you turned your back on every time.

And should your eyes ever actually open, maybe when the pain starts to burn a little too much, you'll see the God of the Icky Theocracy still waiting for you with a loving hand.

Douglas was born Issur Danielovitch in Amsterdam, New York, on December 9, 1916, the son of Bryna "Bertha" (née Sanglel) and Herschel "Harry" Danielovitch. His parents were immigrants from Chavusy, Mogilev Governorate, in the Russian Empire (present-day Belarus), and the family spoke Yiddish at home. Douglas was the fourth of seven children and the only son born to his parents.His sisters were: Pesha "Bessie", Kaleh "Katherine", Tamara "Mary", Siffra "Frieda",[14] Haska "Ida", and Rachel "Ruth". Douglas embraced his Jewish heritage in his later years, after a near-fatal helicopter crash at the age of 74.

Heh, I was just about to copy and paste that.

His father's brother, who had immigrated earlier, used the surname Demsky, which Douglas's family adopted in the United States.[17]: 2  Douglas grew up as Izzy Demsky and legally changed his name to Kirk Douglas before entering the United States Navy during World War II.[18][a]

287 And yet…

“Trump's support among Jews in New York is also slipping, decreasing from 53 percent in a February poll by Siena College to 38 percent in a poll conducted between April 15 and 17—right as protests began escalating at sites like the Ivy League institution.

The poll asked 806 statewide registered voters whether they would support Biden or Trump, and 45 percent said Biden. Another 8 percent of Jewish respondents said they wouldn't vote in that scenario, while 8 percent refused to respond.

It represents a drastic flip from when the same question was posited in February, when Biden and Trump still did not have enough delegates to be their respective parties' nominees. Trump led Biden in that poll, 53 percent to 44 percent.”

Hang on for a second. You're helping make my point though. God spelled out his basic rules - I know we don't agree on that but let's pretend for just one solitary second we do. What you are choosing is to let "man" be the arbiter of what the rules are.

And as you and Orwell both long observed, those rules change with the wind and whim. What is written on the Animal Farm wall is subject to who has the chalk.

God's rules are immutable. That's my argument. You don't have to agree with it, just see it.

96 I like the detail he achieves on the facial features and the fur and the way he captured the varied skin tones of both figures. This is more realistic than I expected for the period. Looking at some other paintings by Gossaert, there is an emotional aspect, sometimes a playfulness, to many of his portraits that is very appealing. This one makes the viewer, at least this viewer, immediately wonder about all the old couple has been through in a long life together.

A side issue. The expression on the man's face made me think of Dylan Thomas.

But no. Our choice is of no importance. There comes a time when our eyes are opened and we come to realize that mercy is infinite. We need only await it with confidence and receive it with gratitude. Mercy imposes no conditions. And lo! Everything we have chosen has been granted to us. And everything we rejected has also been granted.

Yes, we even get back what we rejected. For mercy and truth have met together, and righteousness and bliss shall kiss one another.

104 Hats all the time, indoors and out. No central heating, and for three or four months each year, unless you are close to the fireplace, it's 39 degrees Fahrenheit everywhere else inside.

The kitchen is the only warm place in the house, due to the big cookstove. If you are a one-percenter, you might have one of those big masonry heaters, but you still went around well-hatted.

108 I recall seeing photos from the 19th century, people smiling and clowning for the camera. It created such a stark view of people, from a time when most of the photos show this same dour expression.

If I recall, the explanation was, people were superstitious, they didn't want to reveal something that could be exploited by the devil, or something like that.

I would imagine sitting for the pose, for however long you must, can't be easy either, but why oh why does the painter have to keep the faces so dour, unless he also felt compelled?

If you look at photos of baseball players, from the early 20th century, until well into the 60s, they look so much older than they have ever since. Guys in their 30s genuinely look old, so you end up wondering how they can be athletes.

I'm sure some of it's sun exposure, but there has to be more to it than that.

134 I assume most of the comparative aging is just due to much more sun exposure? Maybe a little regarding modern skin care products (for women...most men don't use them). Diet probably doesn't make a huge difference,

Sun exposure is a big thing. Now that I'm rather past 29 I notice my peers that spent a lot of time in the sun look like rich Corinthian leather and the nerds that stayed indoors look better.

But...I think diet is a big part of it as well.

Yes. I think as late as the Fifties, young boys looked forward to the day when they got their first pair of "long pants." It meant they were growing up, and more than that, would be considered more grown up by grownups.

The only time I wear shorts is if I'm working out. I suppose if I lived in Africa or Florida without access to air conditioning, I might have to plump for a pair of those tropical "Englishman in the desert or jungle" shorts . . . but then I'd be nuts from the heat anyway.

176 Remember, people were more dour and reserved, in some ways. Not all the time, but travel was much more limited. It wasn’t jnusual for someone to never venture more than 50 miles or so from their birthplace.

Read the letters they mailed to relatives - “we shall meet again in the great beyond” and stuff like that. Your daughter moves to Oregon, chances are you’ll never see her again. We take a lot of things for granted.

Death and disease particularly were common. Losing children and Mothers during birth, TB, malaria, smallpox and measles and polio and and and..

200 I recall seeing photos from the 19th century, people smiling and clowning for the camera. It created such a stark view of people, from a time when most of the photos show this same dour expression.

If I recall, the explanation was, people were superstitious, they didn't want to reveal something that could be exploited by the devil, or something like that.

I would imagine sitting for the pose, for however long you must, can't be easy either, but why oh why does the painter have to keep the faces so dour, unless he also felt compelled?

When you're sleeping or relaxing at home, shorts are fine. I think Ann, and myself, are merely saddened by the decline in standards, that men now think nothing of going out in public without slacks and a shirt with a collar on it.

There was one of those T-shirt commercials that ragged on a guy wearing a T-shirt with a gapped neck opening on a first date. My reaction was, "Dammit, it's a first date! Wear a shirt with an actual collar like a grownup!"

Yeah, I don't remember if it was supposed to be superstition or what, but there was definitely a reason for it.

The question as to whether people were just less happy then is nonsense. People were probably substantially more happy than we are in this insane world. Their lives had meaning and purpose, and unless you lived in a place with all the usual kinds of strife, for the most part government had no impact on your day to day life.

I initially pictured Gary Coleman there ... “What you talkin’ 'bout, Willis?”

Always liked Cole as an actor since, of course, his turn as the "TPS Reports" boss in the film Office Space (which I'd always hoped would have a worthy sequel).

In "The Good Wife," he plays a conservative firearms expert who ends up with that idiot lefty lawyer who played "Dianne." Don't see how that could have worked -- reminded me of Carville and Matalin.

217 108 I recall seeing photos from the 19th century, people smiling and clowning for the camera. It created such a stark view of people, from a time when most of the photos show this same dour expression.

If I recall, the explanation was, people were superstitious, they didn't want to reveal something that could be exploited by the devil, or something like that.

267 Democratic Minnesota Senator Nicole Mitchell was arrested Monday morning in Detroit Lakes, Minn., for alleged burglary. The jail roster with the Becker County Sheriff’s Office indicates that Mitchell has been arrested for a first-degree burglary offense.

According to an official with the Detroit Lakes Police Department, a homeowner in the city called 911 at 4:45 a.m. Monday morning after discovering a person in their residence. Responding officers found the alleged burglar, made an arrest, and transported that person to the Becker County Sheriff’s Office. A jail official told Alpha News that Mitchell was still in custody as of early Monday afternoon.

“Knowing very few details at this time, I am shocked by the news of Sen. Nicole Mitchell’s arrest for first-degree burglary. The public expects legislators to meet a high standard of conduct. As information comes out, we expect the consequences to meet the actions, both in the court of law, and in her role at the legislature,” Senate Minority Leader Mark Johnson, R-East Grand Forks, said in a statement.

The Morning Report — 4/23/24

DershowKwai.jpg

Good morning, kids. Aside from being absolutely sickened to my stomach by the rabid, nearly and actually violent Jew-hatred that has exploded across college campuses and beyond in the wake of the 10/7 attack on Israel, it's stunning to me how so many people, most dishearteningly my fellow Jews, are shocked – SHOCKED! – at why this suddenly happened. Of course, it's neither shocking nor stunning nor sudden when all of the signs taken in context with actual history have been in one's face for decades.

I guess the perfect illustration of the dichotomy of being book smart, intellectual, worldly, etc. with that of plain old common sense comes from none other than the estimable Alan Dershowitz:

Dershowitz expressed profound disappointment in his party's failure to address the pro-Palestine demonstrations at Columbia University that have been ongoing since last Wednesday.

“We're hearing nothing from Democrats. We are hearing nothing from Chuck Schumer,” Dershowitz explained. “We're hearing nothing really direct from [sham] President Biden. He made a very disappointing statement. In the same breath, he talked about the demonstrators in passing and he said, ‘but you have to understand the Palestinian situation.’ No, you don't have to understand the Palestinian situation. When people are calling for rape and murder and beheading. The Democrats are an extraordinary disappointment."

"I am no longer presumptively voting for Democrats," he added. "I'm gonna vote for whoever is the best candidate, that may include Democrats, but I have no loyalty anymore to the party.” 

Dershowitz criticized college admissions practices and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies, which he argued have contributed to the recent issues observed at prestigious universities.“

Many of the students [protesting] today are unqualified students,” Dershowitz said. “They were admitted because of DEI. They were admitted because Qatar and other Arab countries are paying for foreign students. These are not the best and the brightest students, they are the loudest students, but they're certainly not students who are looking out for the best interests of America.”

Oh, counselor, with all due respect, get your head out of your ass and wake the fuck up! You haven't heard from Schumer? Not even two weeks ago he and most of the party that despite what you say still bitterly cling to attempted to overthrow the Netanyahu government during war time. And as for your railing against unqualified students from Muslim countries infiltrating academia, you completely disregard the capture of American academia by our own native born terrorists with doctorates and tenure whose mission is the brainwashing of American-born youth to hate and overthrow this country. The loudest voices at these near pogroms are those.

Forget Israel and Jews for a moment. Since at least the end of World War Two, American colleges and universities have been focused on dismantling this nation, its culture, western civilization and Judeo-Christianity, erasing the accomplishments of 1,000 years of human development achieved slowly and painfully at times and taking us back to what will be the darkest of dark ages. And that rot can be found now in pre-K through high schools.

To not have seen the likes of Edward Said, Rashid Khalidi, Theodore Adorno, Herbert Marcuse, William Ayers, Ward Churchill and thousands upon thousands just like them, less well known but no less infamous for the raping of the American mind, is to have been willfully blind. While I'm loathe to criticize someone as prominent as Dershowitz for saying generally what needs to be said at this time, which of course should be encouraged, my castigation stands. Unless and until you deprogram yourself from no doubt decades of propaganda that you've been stewing in that Democrats are the good guys, who are for the downtrodden and the little guy and Republicans are the Nazis, better you should just keep quiet. All the equivocation you spout in a desperate attempt to preserve the fictitious image about a party and political movement that you idolized and dedicated yourself is an exercise in radioactive turd-polishing.

Give it up. Let it go.

And ditto for multi-billionaire Robert Kraft opening his eyes as to what all his donations to Columbia has bought.

Kraft, 82, called for academics with secure jobs at the Ivy League school to be held accountable for incendiary remarks and lectures that some argue have indoctrinated students to hate Israel. 

“We have professors who, instead of teaching how to think, are trying to tell our young people what they should think,” the billionaire former Columbia University donor told Fox News host Sean Hannity. “I think one of the biggest problems that we have to do something about is really tenure at these universities,” Kraft added. “Where people can do things and don’t have accountability.” 

. . . Kraft said he was dismayed by the level of antisemitism he’s witnessed on college campuses since Oct. 7, 2023.

“I never thought I’d see what’s going on in America, what’s happening right now, and it really pains me to see it,” he said.

Really? I seem to recall Robert Kraft being a team owner about the time that a brillo-headed scrub named Colin Kaepernick got a whole bunch of players around the league to take a knee during the playing of the Star Spangled Banner. In all fairness, I don't know what his reaction to that was and I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt that he was equally disgusted. But what did the coaches and the owners do back then? IIRC, not a whole hell of a lot to discourage that behavior.

I thought Kraft and his ilk were savvy businessmen. Perhaps the image of the ivy covered walls of academia got him bamboozled but look what's been going on with his and his colleagues' money in his own business, right under his nose.

The left-wing nonprofit that bailed out anti-Israel protesters who blocked bridges and highways across the country last week was a multi-year partner of the NFL's "Inspire Change program" whose work is still promoted on the NFL's website.

Community Justice Exchange set up a "bail and legal defense fund" for those arrested during last week's A15 protests. The protests targeted major airports, highways, and bridges in dozens of U.S. cities including San Francisco, Chicago, New York City, and Philadelphia. Their explicit goal was to disrupt economic "choke points" to maximize financial disruption, as explained on their website.

The partnership appears to have since lapsed—the nonprofit wasn’t on the list of grantees announced in May 2023. The NFL’s "Inspire Change" website lists Community Justice Exchange under "Previous Grant Recipients" and still includes a link to the group's website.

The NFL's promotion of the left-wing group underscores the extent to which anti-Israel groups have been propped up by major donors and institutions in the United States. Community Justice Exchange is also a project of the Tides Center—a left-wing dark money network funded by George Soros and other prominent liberal billionaires like Pierre Omidyar. The Tides Center serves as a hub for a variety of left-wing groups, channeling substantial funds from affluent donors and functioning as a "fiscal sponsor," enabling them to sidestep IRS registration.

To paraphrase Robert Frost, the rot is ugly, dark and deep. And if you've decided to return to watching the NFL just because Kaepernick has vanished from the scene, you're stupid.

Meanwhile, Sen Josh Hawley has called on Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants to activate the National Guard to ensure the protection of Jewish students at Columbia U.

At the same time, Eric Adams, the mayor of the completely rotten apple belched up this hideous equivocation:

“But I also look back to Little Rock, AR, and what it meant for African Americans to be escorted on campuses because they were afraid for their lives. And that is what I see when I see Jewish students going through this at this moment. There is no place for hate in this city. I don’t care if it’s antisemitism, Islamophobia, anti-Sikhism. We don’t have a place for that, and I don’t want to be, and I won’t be the mayor where you have to take off your hijab, your yarmulke, or your turban when you enter a place of higher education or use our transportation system or walk our streets.”

The pathetic attempt to both condemn the assault on Jews while trying to preserve the votes of those instigating the pogroms at the ballot box is disgusting. Funny he brings up Little Rock because it was the Democrat Party that instigated a Civil War to preserve slavery, that created the KKK as a terrorist organization to intimidate freed black slaves, that instituted Jim Crow laws to keep the down, that opposed civil rights legislation and created a gigantic welfare state that has committed genocide against blacks and kept them as virtual slaves to Big Government. And he has the fucking gall to invoke Little Rock?

Ditto Biden, who actually used verbiage similar to Trump's "good people on both sides" Charlottesville statement.

The media took that out of context since Trump was referring only to the issue of the Confederate flag's defenders and detractors, not those engaged in violence, who turned out to be Leftist "confederates" so to speak. Biden cannot afford to lose the Muslim/Maoist alliance and his equivocation between perpetrators and victims, dementia notwithstanding, clearly in evidence. This time, though, the media is obviously silent.

Speaking of Rashid Khalidi, worst of all was Obama who desecrated the Passover holiday by equating "Palestinians" with Jews in bondage to Pharaoh. That was his Passover message.

I stated yesterday and with all this garbage both on this issue and virtually any other topic covered in the links, the divide is no longer about two sides disagreeing about an issue or issues. It's about one side's hatred of the nation it allegedly is a part of, and its obsession with destroying it and the side that seeks its preservation.

“We’ll see you at your house. We’ll murder you,” Riddhi Patel, the co-founder of the local chapter of the Sunrise Movement, told members of the Bakersfield City Council.

The Sunrise Movement, a radical environmentalist group founded by a former Occupy Wall Street activist and funded by the Ford Foundation, had become notorious for its ugly tactics, recruiting young people and children to harass and even threaten elected officials.

Dressed in stark black shirts with yellow letters, sometimes decorated with skulls, the angry teens of the Sunrise Movement had reminded some people of the Chinese Communist Red Guard and the Nazi stormtroopers, which only increased with Sunrise’s support for a second genocide of the Jews.

While the Sunrise Movement had supposedly been created to force a Green New Deal, it had an obsession with the Jews that broke out when it demanded that Jewish groups be banned from a leftist event “because they “are all in alignment with and in support of Zionism”.

. . . Riddhi Patel was at the end of a pipeline designed to train leftist foot soldiers determined to overthrow America and destroy Israel. The confrontations, whether it was Patel calling for murder, or the pro-Hamas activists shutting down bridges and roads, or assailing synagogues and scrawling swastikas, were not meant to convince, but to radicalize the activists.

Although the Neo-Nazi Left loves to hide behind the legacy of MLK and the Civil Rights movement, its business is not persuasion, it’s revolution. Its ideal activists, like Patel, started out with a political wing of the far Left, like the Bernie Sanders campaign, before transitioning into more openly radical organizations combining day jobs as community organizers with real roles as domestic terrorists. The ugliness and the violence are there to alienate, to get the activists to hate everyone and to confuse violent emotional tantrums with meaningful political change.

The only extraordinary thing about Patel was that she got caught making the political violence that the Neo-Nazi Left thrives on personal. Had she called for the destruction of America or Israel, she would have been fine, and had she spoken in general terms of a leftist uprising that would wipe out the capitalists, that too would have gotten a pass, but she threatened individuals, in unmistakable language and on video, and, like Lee Harvey Oswald or Jim Jones stopped being a revolutionary hero and became an embarrassment to be quickly covered up.

If Dershowitz or Kraft or anyone else still can't understand what they're seeing on college campuses, they should read this column. Good friend and friend of blog Michael Walsh has some cromulent observations about the great divide and the potential for some kind of reconciliation:

Hard as this may seem to believe, back before the election of Barack Hussein Obama -- just seven years after 9/11, remember -- there was at least one thing sane people on both the Left and the Right agreed upon: freedom of speech and the primacy of the First Amendment. Conservatives were dedicated to the constitution in all its aspects, while liberals at least pretended to enjoy the blessings of free expression, even if they often employed the 1A as a shield with which to protect themselves and their dissention from the consequences of their intentions. Honest men on both sides could not only have reasoned discussions with one another, but actually be friends.

Obama's elections, in ways which still remain to be understood, changed all that. The notion that not everybody saw the Lightbringer as a divinized politician descended, deus ex machina, from the flies and wings of the American stage to redeem the U.S.A. from its original sin of "racism" threw them into a fit. By their lights, the election should have been unanimous, by acclamation; how dare their former darling maverick, John McCain, have the effrontery to oppose him? Even the fact that McCain, a born tomato can whose last public act was to betray his Senate comrades and his country over Obamacare, threw the election by "suspending" his campaign near the end didn't appease them. As for those who actually voted against the Punahou Kid, off to purdah and perdition with them. And thus the Cold Civil War (as I dubbed it at the time) was well and truly underway. . .

. . . Is there still a way for honest patriots on both sides to come together? Yes, there are some, even though the Democrat-Media Complex has erased almost all traces of their existence, owing to its complete control of the public Narrative.

I'd like to believe that honest men on both sides can come together. But the problem for me is that whatever defined those two sides no longer exists, or is well on the way to extinction. What we have is one side that is hell bent to destroy us and . . . us. People who cling (bitterly) to the desire to be left alone. To be free to live as we see fit. The other side cannot abide by that as to them it is a zero sum game.

Are we willing to do whatever is necessary to preserve our freedom? That requires self-preservation "by any means necessary." What comes after that, if we do emerge on top please God, is open for discussion afterwards.

    ABOVE THE FOLD, BREAKING, NOTEWORTHY

  • Michael Walsh: "Perhaps, later, in the rubble, we can find common ground and begin anew. Not with the New Soviet Man but the rebirth of Western Man, a believer in freedom, a capitalist with a conscience, and a man whose philosophy is not beggar-thy-neighbor, who doesn't see the world as a zero-sum game, and who only asks to live and let live. But it begins with free speech, or it never begins at all."
    In Search of Common Ground
  • “For those of us who remember Soviet totalitarianism, it was a déjà vu.”
    How the West Suppresses Dissent
  • "The left will find and use children in perverse ways that endanger their innocence, and politicians will do nothing to prevent it. It’s up to parents to create safety for their families. It starts at the school board and ends in their state capitols."
    Fleeing To Red States Won’t Spare You From The War Against Wokeness
  • Daniel Greenfield: “'We’ll see you at your house. We’ll murder you,' Riddhi Patel, the co-founder of the local chapter of the Sunrise Movement, told members of the Bakersfield City Council."

That should've been the takeaway by all Republicans at that moment. Americans. Doesn't matter if they're stupid or if they disagree. They are Americans and they have every right to be stupid and say things you find disagreeable.

Instead even True Conservatives like Ted Cruz blamed the Americans that got permits to be there for the violence that was brought down upon them as they marched peacefully like Americans with free speech.

32 Wonderful commentary JJ. Spot on (as usual)…. All of your observations along with the backdrop of Trump’s Stalinist show trial in NY makes for a depressing display….. but I’ll go with my native optimism today because I cannot believe that anywhere near a majority of voters in the country want this insanity. I’d guess that at least 65% want to put Biden in the rear view mirror…. And with ballot box chicanery that should give Trump just barely enough swing states to swing the EC back to sanity. Given what Dershowitz said I have to assume he’ll be voting Trump!

34 Dersh should read Tulsi Gabbard's book. I saw an interview with her the other day, where she was plugging it - it's all about why people should leave the accursed monstrosity that is the Democrat Party. She talked about their terrible policies, of course, but mostly about their contempt for the people of this country and their apocalyptic, headlong drive for absolute power. The actual root problems.

It actually kind of bothered me, because I sitting there thinking "why?" Just why in the living hell don't we have even one - one! - Republican willing to leave that accursed monstrosity of a Party, throw down the gauntlet, and write a book sounding the alarm about them?

Why is the only politician in this country with the tiny modicum of moral courage it takes to do the right thing and leave the plantation a damned Democrat? A disgusting state of affairs.

It is rather defeating to hear him capitulate to the Powers That Be who fully intend to enslave us into forever wars and the utterly corrupt grift that is Ukraine.

Maybe Trump and his insiders have figured out a way to weasel in on the grift action. All under the motto, "If you can't beat them, join them."

95 Since at least the end of World War Two, American colleges and universities have been focused on dismantling this nation, its culture, western civilization and Judeo-Christianity, erasing the accomplishments of 1,000 years of human development achieved slowly and painfully at times and taking us back to what will be the darkest of dark ages. And that rot can be found now in pre-K through high schools.

Disaffected socialists had to land *somewhere* during and after the dual failures of international communism and national socialism, and they landed right back where they started in earnest: in the universities. No amount of war and death could dislodge them from their seats of power in Paris and Frankfurt, and no amount of vast wealth and power on this continent could break out academics of their slavering over European intellectuals.

Sadly, the American universities served as the perfect breeding ground for evolution. French Postmodernism and German Critical Theory hybridized *here* into the powerful destructive thing that nowadays is usually abbreviated to "wokism." *Our* universities did that. Neither the French nor the Germans could carry it over the line. We could.

There is no accountability, Bob. Like government, academia is designed to be accountability-free. There is accountability *only* when someone violates the central commandment of American academia: Thou Shall Conform.

There is only one other kind of accountability left, and that is the final accountability of dollars. Quit giving them money. Quit sending your kids there. Let them go bankrupt. The ones that don't will coast on endowments or be subsidized by Uncle Sugar, but they can't prop up the whole system.

Ace's uproar came from the (anonymous sources) WSJ - no friend to Trump. I read an article from the UK's Guardian, also no friend to Trump, and they said that while he said that Ukraine was an American interest, he talked about Europe stepping up and paying for it. Did Trump, contrary to all prior history, suddenly become all about war and the US funding European military nonsense? Seems doubtful.

I suspect that Ace still has an issue where he will immediately accept the worst about Trump because he's still unreconciled about the fact that DeSantis got curb stomped. There are a few people like that around here.

++++
To be successful, the "two sides" must share a common root. They are two branches (or many branches), not two *trees.* To have a policy disagreement and do so honestly, the "two sides" must share a common framework for operation, and a common set of core values. That shared core - "nation-state representative government is superior to other varieties" or "free enterprise economy is superior to other varieties" or "humans universally have certain basic rights that must not be infringed" - must exist for policy disagreement to be possible. Without it, there can be no policy disagreement. It is impossible to argue a point on the degree of border protection or market regulation, for example, if one of the sides does not believe in borders (nation-states) or markets (free enterprise) at *all.*

We are no longer two branches from a common tree, we are now two trees. Those trees aren't even all that close to each-other in the forest.

"As a candidate in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary, Gabbard's political positions were broadly similar to those of contenders on health care, climate, education, infrastructure, and criminal justice reform, but she had distinguishable positions on issues ranging from Democratic Party internal politics to foreign affairs.

After ending her presidential campaign, Gabbard has since taken more conservative positions on culture war and social issues, including abortion and transgender rights. Gabbard endorsed the controversial Florida House Bill 1557, referred to by critics as the "Don't Say Gay" bill, and in 2022, she was a featured speaker at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC)."

The mRNA toxin not only is behind turbo cancers and the ramped increase in heart dysfunction, but also killing off the brain.

I am not "trashing" Ace about anything. If I find that there is a matter about which I disagree with him I will try to post a reasonable, unemotional response. I don't bother where these two 2024 GOP candidates are concerned because he is, demonstrably, still emotional about it.

Agreed, and if they are not US citizens, they need to have their VISAS revoked and deported

lots of the pro Palestine students & teachers are Jewish. Many Jewish groups are there - like Jewish Voices for Peace students among other Jewish peace groups.

Heartbreaking. "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable." if the US and UK thought the Jewish people shouod have their own nation, why not donate some of our own land, instead of abetting the stealing of the Palestinians'?

Jews are a "relatively tiny" proportion of all populations - except in Israel. Normally, most progressive people would side with the tiny minority but apparently that goes out the window when the minority of which we speak are Jews.

There is a thin line between wanting a strong national defense that is used judiciously (sending our forces to Ukraine is not one of them for there are better, cheaper ways to deal with that) and being embarrassed and ashamed of the country and therefore wanting a weak, whiny, toothless America.

Additionally, this is why the Church shouldn't be at war with itself, and when it does, it is because it has departed or at least neglected the admonitions of the Apostle Paul when talking about spiritual gifts and roles within the body of believers.

324 Good morning everyone. Thank you J.J.

St. George (d. 303 A.D.) was born in Palestine to Christian parents. Like his father, he enlisted as a soldier in the Roman army serving under Emperor Diocletian. He was renowned for his bravery and military prowess, and was a favorite of the Emperor. Many fantastical legends are ascribed to him. The most famous legend is St. George and the Dragon, where St. George, after making the Sign of the Cross, saved a king's daughter from being devoured by a man-eating dragon. St. George killed the elusive dragon, and by this feat persuaded many souls to accept baptism. He also admonished the king, in gratitude for his princess being saved by Christ's power, to support the cause of the Church. What is known with certainty is that St. George, after confessing and refusing to renounce his faith in Christ, was martyred during the Christian persecution of Diocletian. He became a highly venerated saint in antiquity, and many early churches were dedicated in his honor. St. George is the patron of many causes and countries, including soldiers, knights, chivalry, horsemen, farmers, Canada, England, and Germany, to name a few. His feast day is April 23.

327 There is no easy solution when the anti-Israel side is floating in a sea of lies and untruths. I'm working part-time in a store where most of the other workers, including my manager, are Muslim immigrants from the middle East. I usually avoid talking about the Middle East at work, because (A) several speak almost no English (B) I speak no Arabic, although I do recognize a few words I've heard - such as the "K" word (C) given the previous there would seem to be little chance of meaningful discussion or any upside to a discussion.

However, the other day I couldn't avoid the subject when my manager, who does speak English well and I get along well with, brought it up. He couldn't understand why I was loath to take Hamas originated "news" as gospel. But the real break down in a meeting of minds was his belief that Jews were not native to Israel. That The Temple in Jerusalem was not a Temple, nor was it Jewish. That Roman documentation otherwise was fake, that Jewish history there did not go back 3,000 years (as opposed to Muslim history only existing at all for 600 years).

This pablum is served up and eaten religiously by Muslims and now US unis. WTF.

Half Of US States Challenge Biden Auto Emission Rules


These are not Biden Auto Emission Rules, these are the auto emission rules first put into place by Obama and the Deep State in 2009. Obama and the Deep State set the path to the ridiculous increases in regulations and fines during Obama's first term. They massive spike in targets for emissions and fuel economy was always set to go into effect in 2025. Trump Administration put a halt on the continuous increase in the regulations and targets.

But when the Deep State rigged and stole the 2020 election, they immediately put the Obama-era regulations and targets back in place. These are Obama-era regulations, pushed by the WEF and put back in effect by the Deep State. And the American auto industry CEOs do not fight them, because they are all puppets of the WEF.

364 Good morning, all, and thank you, J.J. for this excellent Morning Report.

. . . Is there still a way for honest patriots on both sides to come together? Not on the horizon, until and unless 'both sides' again realize they're on the same side & some 'adult' disagreement is normal, as is compromise.

Jews aren't the problem, Zionists are. The middle class - the largest working and defense groups in & for the nation - isn't the problem. It's 'deplorables' who often boldly stood on storybook-like American streets (ironically where many of the country's elite political families reside) holding their TEA Party signs in their symbolic rebellion of simply being Taxed Enough Already by government. No Qanons or boogaloo boys - if there ever really were such groups - just working folks, families, and retirees, none of which blocked pavements or streets, or made such a clamor it could awaken the dead.

The nerve! How can Progressive goals of redistribution - not to mention what's being pocketed by them & for theirs - be accomplished without endless streams of money AND the full cooperation of the thoughtful majority of good citizens? Theater & pain is the answer.

Daily Tech News 23 April 2024

Top Story

  • Australia has elbowed Brazil out of the way and decided that it is going to be the new global censor. (MSN)

    An Australian federal court has ordered Twitter and Facebook to take down a video wherein a Christian bishop was stabbed in his own church by a Usual Suspect... Globally.

    You are not permitted to know that this happened, because it might, I don't know, look bad for Usual Suspects.

    (Note that the other recent stabbing in Sydney that made the news was a random mentally ill man, who, while known to the police, was not a Usual Suspect.)

    In the ensuing brouhaha a senator from Tasmania has asserted that Elon Musk should go to jail and Australia's nominally conservative party leader has covered himself in shit and given full-throated support for the nonsense.

    Sorry. I didn't vote for any of these idiots.


  • Journalists for Censorship has also given this their thumbs up. (The Register)

  • Meanwhile the US government is not only spying on you, it is forcing everyone else to spy on you. (Ars Technica)

    I have a solution: Attach the video of that stabbing in Sydney to every email and tweet you send.


  • DDR5 now officially goes to 11... Um, 8800. (AnandTech)

    Previously the specification only covered speeds up to 6400MHz, but now there's an official standard for 8800MHz RAM.

    Which used to be a lot.


  • Huawei wants to take its "home grown" HarmonyOS global. (The Register)

    It's Android.

    It's a bad version of Android.

    The first review version they shipped still said "Android" in many places.


  • Hands on with Tiny11Builder - debloating Windows 11. (Thurrott.com)

    This looks like far too much work given the price of SSDs these days.

    Though given that my laptop spat out its new SSD, maybe.


  • In lighter news, someone has found a solution to the AI porn bots plaguing Twitter right now: Literally Hitler. (Twitter)

    The bots are using commercially available AI services, and if you post anything relating to Hitler they melt down and instead of being invited to view fifth-rate porn you get a flood of replies saying:
    I'm sorry, but I cannot fulfil this request as it promotes a hateful and negative ideology. Please let me know how I can assist you with another topic. #cool
    It's like dealing with vampires, only you use swastikas instead of crosses.

"Hours before the law was set to expire, US officials were already scrambling after two major US communication providers said they would stop complying with orders through the surveillance program, according to a person familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private negotiations," according to the Associated Press.

The greatest guilt of today is that of people who accept collectivism by moral default; the people who seek protection from the necessity of taking a stand, by refusing to admit to themselves the nature of that which they are accepting; the people who support plans specifically designed to achieve serfdom, but hide behind the empty assertion that they are lovers of freedom, with no concrete meaning attached to the word; the people who believe that the content of ideas need not be examined, that principles need not be defined, and that facts can be eliminated by keeping one's eyes shut. They expect, when they find themselves in a world of bloody ruins and concentration camps, to escape moral responsibility by wailing: "But I didn't mean this!"

From the beginning of Taylor’s trial, it was evident that the court would be biased against the defendant, according to Varghese, who explained that two judges presided over his case before the current official, Judge Abena Darkeh, took over.

The judge disrupted Varghese’s opening statement multiple times as he tried to set the stage for Taylor’s defense. Even further, she admonished the defense to refrain from mentioning the Second Amendment during the trial. Varghese told RedState:

She told us, ‘Do not bring the Second Amendment into this courtroom. It doesn’t exist here. So you can’t argue Second Amendment. This is New York.'

BlackRock chief executive Larry Fink's efforts to push 'wokesim' or environmental, social, and governance policies across corporate America have been in reverse in recent years amid the backlash from Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill and 19 state attorneys general in conservative states, including Arizona and Texas, who have been fed up with ESG-related policies hurting the economy.

Supposedly, the backlash by anti-woke activists has forced BlackRock to triple Fink's home security spending. Financial Times says the CEO has become "a target for anti-woke activists and conspiracy theorists."

It's being pushed as STEM now. No joke. We went and toured a TVA hydroelectric dam and there was a big sign up encouraging girls to go into STEM fields like archaeology because the feds need three or four archaeologists for each state.

It was about then that I began forming my hypothesis that one (1) state school could supply all the archaeology majors, philosophy majors, African American Studies majors, etc. required for the entire nation, and realized how much wasted time and money was flowing through the academic system.

Yeah, there seems to be the 30% with no meaningful experience that can finally afford a crotch rocket and split lanes at 70mph, the 30% with no meaningful experience that can finally afford a Harley and ride literally side by side with nowhere to go if any variables change, and the 30% BMW/touring folks that dress like Power Rangers and maintain particular distances and speeds.

10% is left over for folks just learning or Harley riders that ride more than 10 miles a day.

Don't forget, Trump was also supporting the Ukraine aid package when talking to Congressmen.

This may, in fact, be multi-dimensional chess - there is an excellent chance that Ukraine is going to lose the war this summer, and of course the Republicans would be blamed for that if the aid package didn't pass.

As Julian Röpcke, a fair-minded German journalist who is quite pro-Ukrainian noted:

All the American money, all the Western support, all the German weapons won’t help if Ukraine does not mobilize another 250,000 soldiers at least to reinforce a far too thin manned front.

I've seen a report that the Russians are removing mines on the Russian - Ukrainian front in Kharkiv and Sumy provinces, and the Russians just took out the antenna on the TV tower in Kharkiv to screw up Ukrainian communications, so the start of the Russian summer offensive may be imminent.

This is "big trash week" here, so we paid the $15 for a lawn flag and left out three old office chairs and a few other things. While Pooky was dragging chair #2 to the curb, a city pickup came by and picked up chair #1. We went to dinner afterwards and now chair #2 is gone. Chair #3 is the one remaining, and it's the one Bel loved to almost pieces.

Pooky, Dutchman that he is, said to me, "Should we have even paid for a flag if people are going to just pick up our stuff?"

117 They do not have the manpower. They killed them all in Stalin- and Zhukov-esque frontal assaults.

So say my sources.


It's a bit more complicated than that - the Ukrainians have been mostly drafting rural people, the working class, and non-Russian speakers.

There's still a sizable pool of people they haven't drafted, but they are from influential families, which causes -er- internal political problems.

We'll see how the just-passed mobilization law works.

One thing contained in the mobilization law is that Ukrainian men of draftable age will not be able to get their passports renewed at Ukrainian embassies abroad, unless their military documents are current.

That will be interesting to watch.

149 Oh, and for a fascinating glimpse into the future of "Our Democracies", the government censor in Australia has demanded that all social media companies remove a video showing a jihadist stabbing a Maronite priest during a church service in Australia.

Everyone complied, except for X. Elon Musk said that the censorship order was illegal, but still blocked the video in Australia, pending a resolution of the legal case.

The Australian government said that wasn't good enough - the video needed to be blocked worldwide, not just in Australia.

So, the Australian government is asserting the authority to censor the entire internet, if something happened in Australia that they want to suppress.

194 what happened to your granddaughter

She fell off a climbing toy in her backyard, landing head first from about 7 ft. She was unconscious when my daughter got outside. My daughter, the RN is pretyy cool headed. They transported her by ambulance to the ER. I was outside keeping an eye on one of my pregnant goats and my phone was inside. I didn't find out until almost 2 hours after it happened. My wife had already made the trip in. We weren't getting any information for quite awhile, which ratcheted up my frustration.

197 So after Putin annexes a third of UKR or so (if UKR is lucky), that will be Russia's last territorial demand in Europe, right? /s

UKR is just a little country far away of which we know nothing. Just like the Czech Republic in 1938.

Anyway, when Moldova and Georgia are overrun, at least we'll have gotten used to it.

What's the harm if Putin reassembles the old Soviet Block, anyway?

Isolationism: everything old is new again.

The Eurovision song contest is upcoming in Malmo, Sweden, which officially is 12% Muslim (probably considerably more, of course).

The Israeli government has told the Israeli Eurovision contestant to stay in her hotel room at all times, except when attending official Eurovision functions.

245 Apparently I am the only Eastern Orthodox Christian on this board at all, and my sources from that side very often do not coincide with what the West says. Don't get me wrong: I firmly believe the Nationalist/Tribal/Ethnic factor inevitable in autocephalous Churches can and does get out of control.
But I will also stress that I personally, am not a member of any EOC Church in North America: I am directly associated with, baptised into, another Orthodox Church not in the USA.

This is an important distinction to me: this American Orthodox business trying to canonize Robert E. Lee is nuts and it's not a good idea, much less a good look. I keep up with what is going on in the EOC, and this Ukraine thing is a very serious issue, especially considering who is sponsoring the 'new' Uke church.

I see Miley let slip today is the day I turn 29. Thanks for the birthday wishes to all above.

I see someone mentioned meteors. It's the Lyrids, which peaked today (peak was around dawn this morning). The radiant (point from which they all appear to originate from) is to the West of Vega, in the constellation Lyra.

The radiant rises around 9:30PM here, and is about 15 degrees about the horizon now. Transit (meridian crossing) is a little bit before dawn.

So, if you want to see them, that's where and when to look. I haven't had any luck lately seeing any meteors when I was actively looking.

Hello, people whose faces and names I don't even know! I'm utterly miserable because I think my relative's hospice nurse is a bossy know-it-all. (This isn't my first rodeo with hospice nurses and they weren't all like this one.) His wife has decided to end the feeding even if he says he's hungry because the nurse explained that starving is the natural process.

His death is imminent but I rate this a mercy killing. I'm afraid it's going to color my relationship with her for the rest of our lives. Plus I'm miserable about this guy dying.

She's a six year old ball of fire. My daughter did caution us that doctors are still very concerned and that the damage from those types of injuries don't always reveal themselves immediately. I'll trust our Lord. One of her favorite things to do is go to church with us. She will ask her parents if she can come out on the weekend, without her siblings, so she can go to church. Her parents are not believers. Several months ago, she came out on a Saturday evening. She went up to play in her room. After a half an hour, she came down and sat between my wife and I and in a very serious voice, told us she wanted to give her life to Jesus.

Oh my goodness, that is awful and I am so sorry. I can’t even imagine a hospice nurse saying this. Saying don’t force food if they aren’t hungry, yes. But starving if they can keep food down? No. Again, I am so sorry. As much positive energy as I can send is coming your way.

Thanks, nurse. I figure you might have a different view of it.

The patient is not in pain, partly because of the morphine and partly because of the nature of his ailment. His body is actually doing some healing -- his bedsore is drying up and scabs from multiple pokes are shrinking. So obviously he's got functions, but Nursey says he doesn't, pull the G-tube, refuse him food, don't "engage" him in conversation. Bleah.

Wikipedia:

Membership of the SEU increased during the mid-1930s, but the SEU was targeted as part of the Stalinist purge against Esperanto.[28] The group was not officially disbanded, as the Soviet government instead targeted members until operations could no longer continue.[18] In the purge the leader of the Soviet Esperantist Union, Ernest Drezen, was executed by gunshot on 27 October 1937. Drezen's reputation was rehabilitated by the USSR in 1957, and he was posthumously readmitted to the Communist Party in 1989.[29]

We are conditioned that drugs (opiates) are bad and I let that conditioning influence dosage If I had the option to be there again I would not be so reticent.


On my Dad's last day here on this mortal coil, he was in agony until I raised all kinds of hell to get him some extra-strength pain relief. It was by no means a fatal dose but it allowed us just to be with him in peace at the end. No regrets, no remorse.

343 I keep up with what is going on in the EOC, and this Ukraine thing is a very serious issue, especially considering who is sponsoring the 'new' Uke church.
Posted by: LenNeal
Who is sponsoring them?
Posted by: vmom stabby stabby stabby stabby stabamillion'

The Byzantine Church based in Istanbul, and incredibly, Chabad. If anyone wants to know why Erdogan declared the Hagia Sofia a Muslin Mosque, it has to do with that. It was a defensive measure against the incursive West.
Again, I don't do Catholic or Western Protestant so I don't know anything about that perspective and to be honest I really don't care. But Ukraine has touched off a serious conflict among the autocephalous Churches of the EOC, and it's based in Turkiye/autocorrect by Muslims and Ukraine by Chabad Jews.
I've said this before:
EOC does not recognize Chosen People and does not recognize any Holy Land. Something to keep in mind.
The Chabad movement in Ukraine is regarded by Turkiye as an identity-irredentist claim, and they enlisted the Byzantine Orthodox Church, which cost them Hagia Sofia.
I'm just reporting what I'm getting.

344 The military purge was probably the most stupid. They purged all the way down to the sergeant level, iirc. Right before Barbarossa.

Beyond the problems with command and control, communication, experience to carry out orders, etc during the initial invasion, the lack of experience probably cost an enormous number of lives more during the war and the march on Berlin.

The object isn't to prolong suffering. It's to make those last few days less frightening, more comfortable. If he wants a small meal and to have a conversation with a loved one, that should be encouraged. Especially if he is lucid.

Wife has ALL the legal power. Stepdaughter One wants him cared for, not unfed and unhydrated. Stepdaughter Two is a contrarian who yells "This is my DAD!" if you question the omniscience of the hospice nurse.

So sad. I think tonight's going to be the night. I'm expecting to fall apart.

He believed he was the smartest guy in the room. He figured he had Hitler hoodwinked and would be able to betray him later at the time of his choosing. A lot of the purging was obviously because he believed he had the time and leisure.

What truly blows me away is the hive mentality. Stalin did put himself at the mercy of his cabinet and told them if they wanted to, to shoot him dead. They did not. THAT just blows my mind. I can sometimes, in my work, what I do, get a glimpse of what might cause that kind of behavior but I can never, never understand it. I'd have shot him in the face without any hesitation and anyone who has ever been around me knows I would. The absence of individuality.

Also terror of making a decision. And being held accountable. It pervaded so much of the command structure.

The majority of my time was ER though, I was always enamored by my associates that worked in Hospice. The ones I worked with at times....I could not help but admire their overwhelming compassion to their patients and their dedication to helping them come to the final passing. Though their overriding focus was on their patient, they would give such caring heartfelt support to the various family members as well.

Such BIG HEARTS in a single nurse. I for one no not where we get such graceful, beautiful, humans.

At my Church in Serbia? About 2 hours. But to be honest, Churches where I'm based there are open 24 hours a day so people wander in and out all the time at all hours of the day or night. There is always a priest available.
Services during busy times often resemble more a Punk show at a bowling alley than what most people know as a Church service. Most people stand but not always, people wander out to smoke, it's hard to explain. Kids cry, etc.

Well, Maleventum was renamed Beneventum because they defeated (or at least fought to a standstill) Pyrrhus near there.

From wiki:
It is probable that the Oscan or Samnite name was Maloeis, or Malieis (Μαλιείς in Ancient Greek), whence the form Maleventum would derive, like Agrigentum from Acragas (now Agrigento), Selinuntium from Selinus (the ruins of which are at now Selinunte), etc.[13]

Me: which is unsatisfying.

BUT Biden's puppet masters are deliberately destroying the country they control. And yet the left, whether it be academia, political leaders or just the slimy little university rats and street thugs, don't seem to notice that. Don't you find that odd?

I mean, the concept of what money does.
It's been debated for centuries. The general use at the moment is alchemic: it is a solvent and adhesive. George Soros went to the trouble of telling everyone what he was up to with his confessional that nobody read, 'The Alchemy Of Finance'. Money to him is The Philosopher's Stone: it transforms any Thing it touches into other Things. It transforms societies.

If you stop using money as an Alchemic Solution, make it... un-fluid, it becomes simply another unit of subjective measure.

But best theme song ever? No love for, say, The Wild, Wild West, or the original Hawaii Five-O, or Miami Vice, or Peter Gunn? Mission Impossible? That score alone has earned Lalo Schriffin a spot in popular culture that has endured for nearly six decades. Magnum PI? Greatest American Hero? Cheers? The X Files? Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Angel?

558 Hawaii Five Oh has, without a doubt, the most compelling and captivating of all the T.V. theme songs.

You're going to be riveted down, listening to it the very last note. No matter how many times you've heard it.

Is it the BEST Teevee theme song? Well, I kinda doubt it. There's those with lyrics, sentiments, more lighthearted melodies and all that.

You might *know* the Cheers theme, better. It might evoke all the best feelings of your '80s times.

But you'll STOP what you're doing, and groove to the Five Oh rip, any time you're able.

There should've been a three minute AM pop radio version of it, and a ten minute FM late night freelance D.J. version of it for those of us in the early Pirate FM days.

First time for me was in Sanctions, I had a ticket to Athens on the Balkan Express I had a transit visa. I got into Yugo and walked off the train and ran out the transit visa.
I wrote up that entry and it got published in VREME, it's online #1316.

As with Bose, Klipsch is a bit... particular, as to room dimensions and placement. All speakers are, to a degree, but Bose is KNOWN for this, and Klipsch, with it's horn design, is, too.

Hence the Advent Heritage (best of ALL Advent designs, before The Fall), and the JVC zip Five and zip Six.

Those are the Massage Chairs of all speakers, regardless of placement or dimension. They just DO, and you gotta just ENJOY.

Heartbreaking, but she actually did redeem herself after all of that. Became a nurse, actually nursed her dying mother who was probably much like Miklos' Old Mama (maybe worse). Married her first bf from junior high.

But I digress. In the presumed Bad Times to Come, many clueless women with absolutely no practical skills will be desperate. The feminists (if any survive Round One) will come to understand that they need men much, much more than fish need bicycles.

Most, don't. Being basic 'consumer grade' drek. But Sansui really did make some Very Serious Audio Grade stuff.

Their G Series receivers were, and are, legendary. And are appreciating assets, even now.

You get into the REAL UPPER range of Sansui, JVC, Pioneer, Kenwood, Marantz... all taht '70s Silver Face audio. Those receivers still fetch +$1,000 in great condition, even to this day.

TOP of their lines? Bring $3,00 to start. And more, if you're serious.

Remember, folks. Thats just for the RECEIVER. From the 1970s. Quality of anything newer DECLINED with the increase of Integrated Circuitry. (chips)

It is near Corona Borealis noon, it's about over the meridian. If you want to see the spot where this nova is supposed to happen (sometime before Oct), go out and look.

You'll see the near full Moon. Which is mostly made of gasses, which is why people can live there. Cover up the Moon with your thumb, and close one eye. This will kill the glare. To the right(west) you'll see a bright start. That's Spica (Alpha Virginis).

Now, keeping the glare of the Moon covered, look up higher, to the left (east). You'll see a bright reddish star. That's Arcturus (Alpha Bootis).

You'll see that makes sort of squat isosceles triangle with two other bright-ish stars to the east. The one is the middle on top is Izar, Epsilon Bootis. The one to the left is Gemma(or Alphecca), which is Alpha Corona Borealis.

That's the one we want. If the Moon weren't so bright, you'd easily see the little crown of Corona Borealis.

Anyway, a bit to the east and below Gemma is our guy, T. Coronae Borealis. You can't see, too dim. But when it goes nova, it will be as bright as Gemma there.

It's interesting. When you watch the sky like this for a few hours, you can easily see how fast the Moon's proper motion is. When I first looked at the Moon tonight, it was so close to Spica, I couldn't see Spica without covering the Moon with my thumb.

The Moon has now moved east enough relative to Spica over the past few hours, that I can see Spica well now, even in the Moon glare.

If you'd paid anywhere near $500 for those Sansui speakers back then, well...yes.

He fried some of the Good Stuff.

Some of the REALLY. Good. Stuff.

Go surfing Craigslist in different U.S. cities. Click on "electronics", then type in "Sansui". You'll eventually find "your" speakers.

Brace yourself, Bridget. At the prices the Good Stuff now fetches.

That may be the key (pardon the pun) right there. A TV theme song that grabs you with all the verve and intensity that an arrangement of notes can provide.

Plus, a theme song that says "What you are about to see is epic and awesome and you're going to look back later in despair if you don't watch it." Mission Impossible had that - even now, those first few notes signal sophisticated, intricate, exciting, suspenseful, high-stakes shenanigans are going to go down.

The Wild, Wild West had that element as well, for me at least, but it works best when Jim West or Artemus Gordon are about to pull some nineteenth century high tech spy gizmo out and escape whatever terrible fate Dr. Loveless has in mind for them. (And I still love the gimmick of phasing the final shot of each act into a sepia tinged image of the perils faced by our heroes. They did an homage to that on The Tick (Spoooon!) and MST3K during the season when the Mads were trapped in Ancient Rome.

The oddest story I heard in the USAF was what happened to a co-worker after he transferred. This guy was a bit introverted, nice enough, a bit odd but harmless. Gets orders to Incirlik in Turkey. Months pass, and someone who used to work with him called Incirlik to see how he's doing. Well, he was arrested. Apparently, he was leading a drug smuggling operation and had gang connections in Houston. He was a major player, apparently. The OSI had been investigating him for a while. I, to the day, am still trying to wrap my brain around the guy I remember, daft and affable, with criminal mastermind. It was like the end of 'Usual Suspects' except I never figured it out.

679 And I second the votes for Route 66 and Hill Street Blues. The former was a huge favorite for my father and myself, and I still think Route 66 had the best series finale ever - Not only does Martin Milner hold onto his much-prized Corvette (which morphed from a 1960 model to a 1961 model to a ... by the end, it's a '64), defeat all the con artists and swindlers who were dead-cert guaranteed to bring him down; no, he does all of that and then drives off to even greater adventures with an adoring Barbara Eden as his new co-pilot. How many of us in 1964 might have wished for just such an ending - kick-ass car, one of the most beautiful women on the planet madly in love with you, and the promise of more excitement to come. Those two show every sign that, when it strikes them, they can park the Vette, acquire a home, and live their best lives as husband and wife, mom and dad in their fictional never-never world.

709 And if Cutie Honey allows us to open the door to anime themes, then I counter with Cowboy Bebop. Opening theme song Tank stirs the spirit and really plays into the jazz aesthetic the show was shooting for, and Real Folk Blues wrings your heart out with the loss and despair that the lyrics only lightly touch upon. This extended into individual scene scoring such as the use of the moody, foreboding Rain as Spike walks into an abandoned cathedral to free his friend Faye. That music, plus a tense stand-off that conventional TV has yet to echo, opens the ball for an epic gun battle that leads to the top of the cathedral and (for Spike) a plunge from a stained glass window.

Then there's the unfortunately-titled Big-O, whose theme promised sci-fi intrigue, giant Mechas, a plot which pre-dated many of the concepts of memory and reality in the Matrix films. The curiously romantic closing number suggests a William Gibson-esque angle where the hero, Roger (a mixture of Bruce Wayne and James Bond) is in this weird romance with R-Dorothy, an artificially intelligent android who seems to reciprocate his feelings. It's weird, but this is Japan, and it kind of ... works, I guess.

My son and all his friends loved that opening, and it captivated them the way the Bruce Timm Batman animated series did.

Anyone remember, by the way, the parody of Ultraman that USA Night Flight did in the late eighties? Those were a delight to behold and their access to current popular music was the icing on the cake. I still fondly remember where the Ultraman team's mentor was leading off a group of Japanese children to watch a WWII move. One of the kids is whining "Not World War II again!"

719 We've been watching the 1996 (?) TV miniseries of Streets of Laredo, the Larry McMurtry sequel to Lonesome Dove. Good casting and pacing, and since LM himself co-wrote the teleplay, faithful to his original down to dialogue. Strange to see George Carlin doing a dramatic role as a limping former Ranger. And as in LM's Western novels, the villains are savage serial killers, and memorable . . . as if Hannibal Lecter and Jame Gumb were to be installed in the Old West with all their evil intact.

Dogs were the main conductors and their wagging tails were the conductor's baton. The tempo and rhythm were set by displays of different delights: food, toys, and goodies.

If so:
1) straighten the bent 'feet' until they align with the rest of the cotter pin.
2) place tip of screw driver through loop of cotter pin.

Pedal crank cotter bolts are usually headless bolts that have a taper ground on one side that engages a flat on the crank shaft. Usual routine is to back off the nut until it's flush with the end of the thread, and administer a sharp rap to the nut with a brass hammer.

132 The Victor press looks like it would work. But looking over the geometry of the cotter bolts they seem... disposable. Unfortunately the vintage of the crank makes them irreplaceable. I'll try the press idea, maybe some experimental hammering with a sacrificial nut on the thread end, but if they don't move I think the longterm answer is to drill and blind tap the crank housing in the frame, blast and soak out all the old lubricant, and install a zerk fitting.

195 I'd blast that bolt with a torch-type cigar lighter, then give it a good shot of gas from a small can of some kind of automotive refrigerant recharge, the kind you get at the auto parts store. We used to call it "Freon", but who the hell knows what it's called now, other than Expen$ive.

A couple-three heat n' cold cycles can really help break loose the stubborn parts, and the heat cycle especially, can help "draw" a good penetration oil (.. I favor "Kroil"), down into the joint.

If those don't work, take off and nuke it from orbit. It'll be the only way to be sure.

One thing I DID learn in this cottered pin business, is unlike looking up gun stuff online, which are always on point and useful, bicycle people... ers? Ites? Haven't got the mechanical sense of a cow. Tons of people owning incredibly expensive bikes don't have any tools, don't know how their bikes work, nothing. It's why it took so long to find the part description.

You know the Yamaha logo. Three "crossed" tuning forks. Yamaha has been a maker of musical instruments for a long time. And they used their knowledge of harmonics, to REALLY make the two-stroke expansion chamber exhaust, really SING. That is using the reflected interior sound waves serve to vacuum OUT the out-rushing exhaust gasses from the exhaust port, which REALLY generated a LOW pressure area in the cylinder, right when the piston exposed the Transfer Port in the cylinder wall.

History given, Yamaha carried on this knowledge in the V-Max intake port system, using a set of butterfly valves in the ports. Opening in concert with increasing RMPs, this resulted in some really OMG handlebar grabbing acceleration.

Which in such a short wheelbase bike was... well, it DID focus one's attention! Much more sudden "hit" than a turbocharger, but a very similar effect in "boost".

I rode one. ONCE.

So, Hollweird has run out of ideas, so I'll write their next script for 'em.

Featuring a goat on a medium sized farm, who has found where all the wild Pot grows, and aims to corner the market on the stuff, wreaking havoc and raising hell on every other critter on the farm, striving to have his way and to WIN.

Fast Blows

johnsonthanksbiden.jpg

Update: Axios and the Washington Post thank Johnson for his courage and bravery. (Both?!!)

Unfortunately, blame can't just be put on Johnson.

Trump was scheming with the GOPe behind the scenes as well.

Michael Tracey
@mtracey

Trump strategized with Lindsey Graham and other GOP Senators to pass Ukraine funding, the Wall Street Journal reports, which led to the adoption of Trump's fake "loan" proposal in the final legislation. "Payback is contingent on defeating Russia."

Per Graham, Trump looks forward to extracting Ukraine's vast natural resources -- an extension of his prior philosophy to "take the oil" from Iraq and Syria.

"Trump's stance was key" in assuring the passage of the bill, according to the WSJ, as were the "religious convictions" of Speaker Mike Johnson, Trump's emissary in the House.

Just before the bill was passed, Trump dined with Polish President Duda in NYC, at Trump's invitation. Duda was in the US on a lobbying tour to press for Ukraine funding. The next day, Trump wrote his Truth Social post declaring Ukraine a vital "US national security interest."

And so -- there you have it. Now we have at least another couple years of war in Ukraine underwritten by the US taxpayer, at Trump's personal behest.

Excerpts here.

The AlwaysTrump contingent kept telling me that Trump's position on Ukraine was clear and strong, and Ron DeSantis' was weak and vacillating. They never bothered to actually read Trump's statement on Ukraine -- he did have a strong statement, he said he'd strongly fund Ukraine -- and just attributed to him the position they wanted him to have, and then clubbed Ron DeSantis over the head with a position they claimed to be Trump's but never, ever was.

Trump benefits from the same effect that Obama noted -- "I am a blank screen upon which people can project their wishes."

I was never strongly against funding Ukraine. I don't know how we got into this weird position of agreeing with the hard left's position on Russia before they suddenly reversed themselves and all declared, "We have ALWAYS been against Eastasia."

But I did want such funding, which I do not particularly care for, at least tied to something I do care about, US border security.

But nope.

Voters are tiring of the Uniparty's singular focus on the integrity of Ukraine's borders.

Nolte tells us about a Heritage USA poll.

With a margin of error of 3.1 points, between April 2-4, the Heritage Foundation polled 1,000 swing voters in the battleground states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Nevada. The questions focused on the ongoing funding of Ukraine versus securing our own border and found that a majority have soured on Ukraine and want our border secure.

When asked, "Is it more important to secure [America's southern] border or to provide funding to Ukraine," only 11 percent of swing voters sided with Ukraine. In comparison, 50 percent said they wanted our border secured.

"In thinking about U.S. border security and the situation in Ukraine," read the next question, "which of the following is the best approach?" A clear majority of 54 percent chose "spending more money to secure the U.S. border than to help Ukraine."

Only 23 percent chose "spending an equal amount" on both Ukraine and our border. Even fewer, just ten percent, said more money should be spent defending Ukraine's border over our own.

When asked if the $113 billion the U.S. has already sent to Ukraine is "too much, too little, or about the right amount of aid," 56 percent said it was either "far" (31 percent) or "somewhat" (25 percent) "too much." But only 12 percent said the $113 billion was "far" (3 percent) or "somewhat" (9 percent) "too little." Those who said the $113 billion was "about the right amount" totaled just 16 percent.

The next question asked if those surveyed would "favor or oppose" a proposal that provided "funding for Ukraine but no funding to secure the southern border." A whopping 75 percent either "somewhat" (25 percent) or "strongly" (50 percent) opposed putting Ukraine's security above our own (which is what Democrats, the corporate media, and establishment Republicans want). On the flip side, only 17 percent said they "strongly" (5 percent) or "somewhat" (12 percent) support putting Ukraine's security above our own.

A Democrat voted for the Ukraine funding with this benediction: "Die, MAGA, die."

A New York Democratic congressional candidate celebrated the House passing a $60 billion bill to fund Ukraine while hoping for the death of the MAGA movement, a message posted to X shows.

"Slava Ukraine," New York congressional candidate Nate McMurray posted to X Saturday afternoon.

"Die MAGA die. You lose," he added of former President Trump's supporters and those who agree with the "Make America Great Again" platform.

McMurray's tweet followed the US House passing a bill Saturday that provides $60 billion to Ukraine amid the nation's ongoing war against Russia. The aid package passed 311 to 112, with more Republicans voting against the bill, at 112, than Republicans who voted for it, at 101.

Columbia pro-Hamas protesters drove dirty Jews off parts of the campus they occupied. (Irony.)

NBC says don't worry, physically ejecting Jews from a campus they paid to be at (and actually earned their place to be admitted to) is just some more "mostly peaceful" protesting of the sort we saw in the Summer of Love.

In case you were worried that global warming may harm the Greatest Victims in the world, the LGBT Stasi, I am afraid I must confirm your deepest fears: Global warming will harm "gay couples" the most.

A new study out of UCLA says same-sex couples are at greater "risk of exposure to the adverse effects of climate change" than straight couples.

These effects include "wildfires, floods, smoke-filled skies, and drought," according to a report from KQED.

Same-sex couples disproportionately live in coastal regions and cities, which are more vulnerable to such disasters. They're also more likely "to live in areas with poor infrastructure, worse-built environments."

Washington DC, which rates high for "climate risks" such as heat waves, floods, and "dangerously strong winds," has the greatest proportion of gay couples in the U.S.

San Francisco ranks second, and also faces a high climate change risk. According to KQED report, the city's Leather & LGBTQ Cultural District flooded 22 years ago, "swamping" the entire area. The closest supermarket, Rainbow Grocery, also got flooded.

19 There was a video from the UK of the police threatening to arrest a man because he was being "openly Jewish."

Unfortunately, the video disappeared very quickly and all I can find now is a screen grab, but I heard the dialog and the guy was being told to be less Jewish. How do we realistically recover from this?

Can you actually fucking believe it, this is @GideonFalter who had me arrested & violently attacked for attempting to cover the anti semitism rally as a journalist. I face months in jail next week because of his attack on freedom of speech, freedom of the press & freedom of movement . Now he’s moaning the police asked him to leave.

Political and media 'bothsidesism' re antisemitism and Islamophobia in the current Canadian context is absurd. Hatred of Jews and Muslims is equally repugnant, but there aren't 'pro-Israel' demonstrations across Canada celebrating terrorism and calling for the deaths of Muslims.

Quote twatt: Justin Trudeau @JustinTrudeau 14h
There is a difference between peaceful protest and hateful intimidation.

It is unconscionable to glorify the antisemitic violence and murder perpetrated by Hamas on October 7th. This rhetoric has no place in Canada. None.

I see now “Provocative action” is being used to describe Jews who walk through London or offer a dissenting voice.

Screaming “Jihad” on British streets however is just a gentle “religious expression”

84 This is really the only thing that looks like it is actually out of Trumps mouth on Ukraine..

"In his first comments since the national security funding package passed the House with bipartisan support Saturday, Trump told conservative radio host Chris Stigall that Johnson was in a difficult position because of the GOP’s exceedingly narrow majority.

“Remember, the Speakership we’re talking about has, you know, we’re a majority by one. One vote,” Trump said, citing the dwindling majority because of various lawmaker resignations.

“And you can’t really get too tough when — Look, we all want to be tough guys and all, and I have a lot of friends, and frankly I have friends on both sides,” Trump continued. “You know, if you look at the vote, a lot of Republicans, a lot of good Republicans, voted for it. But Mike is in there and he’s trying, and some people were disappointed, and a lot of people were very disappointed that nothing happened with the border. I’ll straighten out the border.”

104 Mike Johnson tried to hold the funding of Ukraine hostage to making Biden's handlers reverse their open border policy.

After six months he learned that the globalists don't really care about Ukraine nearly as much as they care about effecting radical demographic change in the US and gaining a permanent upper hand over white Americans resistant to their rule.

If Ukraine is conquered by Russia but the globalists gain the means to permanently oppress the legacy white American population, they are okay with that trade-off.

And the SOH is running the sh*t on his personal tech.

That's probably what they showed him in that SCIF, his web-browsing history.

Remember, he personally cast the deciding vote on the bill. SOH typically don't vote on bills they don't need to vote on and he cast the definitive yea vote.

136 This Ukraine funding is a wedge issue created and amplified by the Left.

- Biden has been holding back already funded munitions until he got more funding. Ie, let the Ukrainians die because blaming Republicans polls really well among his base.

- The whole bill was designed as failure theater. Remember, there are two sides in all these failure kabuki bills. The Left refuses any concessions, preferring to battle in the media - where they know they will win - only to make the Right look bad. They often even refuse concessions that the majority on their side want, only because the Right wants it and they want the Right to keep fighting a losing battle.

This was all done because besides abortion, Ukraine is all the Democrat Party has for the upcoming.

180 To amplify a point others have made, this is biden's war.

Not only did he invite it, but he has obviously prioritizing cash for his slush funds over winning the war. He keeps holding back on munitions "so as not to inflame Russia," but then sends them too late to do any good.

He has run this whole thing like the failure he is. Incompetent and corrupt.

But things look bad now and might culminate before the election -- they need an excuse to blame Republicans for their failure (kind of a hobby among Democrats and war,) so they wanted to make this a big issue in order to blame the Rs.

I think Trump is being a pragmatist and he does not want his campaign saddled with the upcoming collapse of Ukraine.
(note - I think Trumps statements have been the expected mix of incoherence from him, but I don't see a better position.)

I've seen this back to 1968. Humphrey was VERY liberal, just not a traitor, and thus not pure enough for them, so they shafted him.

We need more of that. Let the handwringers wring away. But we have to stop our pols from screwing us at every opportunity. Make them fear us.

219 Trump is, and has always been, controlled opposition. He was never on our side. He didn't simply fail to drain the Swamp, he relentlessly entrenched it at every opportunity His job was to enable Covid so the Swamp could get mail in ballots in every state and lock in election theft in both red and blue states forever.

I didn't realize this until early 2023, when he praised mass murderer Cuomo to attack DeSantis. That forced me to review his entire record, and realized literally everything was consistent with how the Left controls it's opposition.

And ever since, everything that happened has been completely unsurprising. What he just did on Ukraine, and betraying border security, is just more confirmation.

242 so, what's in it ? "The support... includes nonmilitary assistance. About $8 billion would go to help Ukraine’s government continue basic operations with a prohibition on money going toward pensions. And there’s about $1.6 billion to help Ukraine’s private sector.

About a third of the money allocated to supporting Ukraine actually will be spent replenishing the U.S. military with the weapons and equipment that are going to Kyiv. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell has repeatedly emphasized that point, saying in a statement Tuesday that the money is about “reaffirming a commitment to rebuild and modernize our military, restore our credibility, and give the current Commander-in-Chief, as well as the next, more tools to secure our interests.”

There’s also about $480 million to help Ukrainians displaced by the war..."

Trump has no abiding ideology except winning. So he is willing to sell out any principles if he thinks it gives him a strategic advantage. This is bad.

But, he also has conservative instincts and wants the USA to win as well. This is unique among current political class. So while he will sell us out to win, he really really wants the USA to win -- against China, Russia, commies, islam, pervs, and all the others trying to destroy Western Civ.

#269 and #270 saying Trump has no conservative instincts.

I say bull. Yes he will sell out those instincts, but he also does not like debt, does no like dependence on China, did not like locking down the economy,... He understands that people want to be free and that the "P" in GDP stands for production and you can not have high GDP if 60% of the country is on transfer payments.

He has business instincts. He fought against NAFTA because it was hurting the USA. He does not like the US being a sucker. Does not like endless wars,... I could go on. He is not great but at least he wants the USA on top.

297 Michael Tracey @mtracey
Trump strategized with Lindsey Graham and other GOP Senators to pass Ukraine funding, the Wall Street Journal reports, which led to the adoption of Trump's fake "loan" proposal in the final legislation. "Payback is contingent on defeating Russia."

Per Graham, Trump looks forward to extracting Ukraine's vast natural resources -- an extension of his prior philosophy to "take the oil" from Iraq and Syria.

"Trump's stance was key" in assuring the passage of the bill, according to the WSJ, as were the "religious convictions" of Speaker Mike Johnson, Trump's emissary in the House.

Just before the bill was passed, Trump dined with Polish President Duda in NYC, at Trump's invitation. Duda was in the US on a lobbying tour to press for Ukraine funding. The next day, Trump wrote his Truth Social post declaring Ukraine a vital "US national security interest."

And so -- there you have it. Now we have at least another couple years of war in Ukraine underwritten by the US taxpayer, at Trump's personal behest.

Tucker's definitely gone off the deepend with it all. Would I rather spend money at home? Not really, I'd rather not spend money (we don't have) at all.

I don't know how we got into the situation where Ukraine funding HAD to be tied to border security. Border security should just happen - period, but I also realize that the political play here is to keep the border a disaster and not to do anything to make that situation go away until after the election.

Patriots Owner Robert Kraft Pulls Funding From Columbia: "No Longer an Institution I Recognize"

Is this America?



"It was through the full academic scholarship Columbia gave me that I was able to attend college and get my start in life and for that I have been tremendously grateful," Kraft said in a statement. "However, the school I love so much -- the one that welcomed me and provided me with so much opportunity -- is no longer an institution I recognize."

"I am deeply saddened at the virulent hate that continues to grow on campus and throughout our country," Kraft added. "I am no longer confident that Columbia can protect its students and staff and I am not comfortable supporting the university until corrective action is taken.

"It is my hope that Columbia and its leadership will stand up to this hate by ending these protests immediately and will work to earn back the respect and trust of many of us who have lost faith in the institution," he continued.

"It is my hope that in this difficult time, the Kraft Center at Columbia will serve as a source of security and safety for all Jewish students and faculty on campus who want to gather peacefully to practice their religions, to be together and to be welcomed."

Kraft, who is worth $11.1 billion, has been a prolific donor to the university and funded the Kraft Center for Jewish Student Life across from Columbia's campus.

Here's a bit at what's been going on at this formerly prestigious university:


Columbia University president Minouche Shafik was accused of "gross negligence" while testifying before the House Education and Workforce Committee about antisemitic incidents at the school and pro-Palestinian indoctrination. Shafik defended the school's response after Oct. 7, but refused to tell lawmakers at the hearing if the phrase "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" is antisemitic.

A report from the Ivy League school's Task Force on Antisemitism found "repeated violations by student groups" at Columbia after the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attacks in Israel.

Ahead of the hearing, Jewish students told The Post that they have been targeted and witnessed antisemitism at the Morningside Heights campus. The Columbia University Jewish Alumni Association told The Post that the college's administrators must "do their job" in reining in unauthorized student protests.



Omni Ceren
@omriceren
American colleges and universities spent the last decade censoring conservatives - canceling events, punishing teachers, etc. - because they said they wanted to ensure their students never felt unsafe. They spent uncountable millions institutionalizing leftwing diversity programs and staff, with the same pretext.

Either they were lying or Jewish students don't count for them. Or both.

White Christian students also don't count.

Columbia is lying when it claims it's observing these terrorists' free speech rights -- here they are refusing a Jewish professor on to the campus because they don't want him joining an anti- Hamas rally.


Columbia explained that because pro-Hamas "protesters" were threatening Jews, they were going to have to keep Jews off campus for "student safety."

columbialetter.jpg

How about kicking the Hamas terror agents off campus instead?

And Columbia students do seem to be Hamas agents:


The corrupt leftwing facutly of this Shithole School joined "students" in a walk-out, protesting the university president not allowing the left to break all of the rules in their "protests." ("Protesters" had set up "shanty towns" and were camping all over the campus' public areas, like the homeless bums they are; the president ordered the camps torn down. The left of course maintains it has the right to squat and take over property that belongs to others.)

Biden pulls a "bad people on both sides" -- he says he condemns antisemitism, but also "condemn those who don't understand what's going on with the Palestinians."

They're both the same!



So Nazi-like scapegoating of Jews is bad, and also, having a different opinion that Rashida Tlaib on the Palestinians is just as bad.

Meanwhile, at formerly prestigious Yale:

A Yale student was stabbed in the eye as part of the left's "protests."

I was stabbed in the eye last night on Yale University's campus because I am a Jew.

I wish I could say I was surprised, but since October 7, Yale has refused to take action against students glorifying violence, chanting "resistance is justified," "celebrat[ing] the resistance's success," and fundraising for "Palestinian anarchist fighters" on the frontlines of the "resistance." In more recent days, the school has allowed students to run roughshod over their most basic policies against postering, time and place restrictions, disorderly conduct, respect for university property, and the rights of others, not to mention stalking and harassment.

Yesterday, I paid the price for their inaction.

...

I should say here that I am a visibly observant Jew who wears a large Star of David around my neck and dresses modestly. I went over with my friend Netanel Crispe, who is also identifiably Jewish because of his beard, black hat, and tzitzit.

When we approached the anti-Israel protest accompanying the tent encampment to document the demonstration, we were quickly walled off by demonstration organizers and attendees who stood in a line in front of us. No one else documenting the event was blockaded this way.

In every direction we moved, demonstrators stood in front of us, arms linked, yelling along with the crowd. (Watch this video and ask yourself if this would happen to a student who did not look visibly Jewish.)

They shoved us and waved their flashlights in our eyes. One demonstrator held up a boombox in front of Netanel's face, blasting a rap song with the lyrics:


Fuck Israel, Israel a bitch / Bitch we out here mobbin' on some Palestine shit / Free Palestine bitch, Israel gon' die bitch / Nigga it's they land why you out here tryna rob it / Bullshit prophets, y'all just want the profit

As I separated from Netanel and tried to walk through, the wall of protest organizers in front of me remained. When I said, "I can walk. I have freedom of movement," they mocked me: "Do you hear that, everybody? She can walk!"

Before too long, the protesters encircled me in addition to the human blockade. Their arms linked, and they danced in a circle around me so that I was pinned between them, the human blockade, and a wall. Some other demonstrators noticed this and joined in on the taunting.

They pointed their middle fingers at me and yelled "Free Palestine," and the taunting continued until a six-foot-something male protester holding a Palestinian flag waved the flag in my face and then stabbed me with it in my left eye.

My assailant was masked and wearing a keffiyeh, concealing his identity. He also wore glasses and a black jacket. I started to yell and chase after him, but the wall of students continued to block me as I screamed. Next, I went to the Yale police, but they offered little in the way of assistance. They told me that their orders came from administrators who weren't present at the demonstration, and that there were only seven officers to handle a crowd of about 500. So I was checked out by an ambulance EMT, who recommended I go to the hospital.

The midnight demonstration, the encampment, the violence, all of it violates Yale policy. Some of it, like my assault, also violates state and federal law. Yet nothing meaningful seems to happen in response. Given Yale's permissiveness, I had the sinking feeling that someone would get hurt. I just didn't expect it to be me.

There are bad people on both sides, says Biden.

Update: AOC praises the Hamas protesters, and Biden praises AOC for her wisdom in supporting Hamas.

Update: Some "newcomers" are telling Jews to "go back to Poland."

Weird, I have a solution that is similar in concept!


Hands down the worst take on the 'Gaza Solidarity Encampment' that has taken over Columbia University in New York City for the past week is that students have always done things like this. Students have forever occupied buildings and quads to make a political point. Students have long agitated against war. Students often find themselves in the grip of passionate radical intensity. Look at the Vietnam era, says every columnist in Christendom, as if the Gaza camp were just another explosion of youthful anti-imperialism.

The wilful naivety of this take is unforgivable at this point. To liken Columbia's strange, seething 'pro-Palestine' camp to earlier campus uprisings against militarism is to gloss over what is new here. It is to whitewash the profoundly unsettling nature of this rage of the privileged against the world's only Jewish nation. Until someone can point me to instances of those Sixties anti-war kids hurling racist invective at minority groups and demanding the wholesale destruction of a small state overseas, I'll be giving their Gaza camp commentary a wide berth.

The camp might look and sound like student politics as normal, with its juvenile bluster, megaphoned virtue and the occasional appearance of pitiable university officials warning campers of suspension. But scratch the radical surface and you'll swiftly find an ugly underbelly of reactionary cries and even outright racism. No sooner had the students erected their tent city 'for Palestine' last Wednesday than it became a magnet for genocidal dreaming about the erasure of Israel and plain old bigotry against Jews.

Columbia has rang out with cries of 'We don't want no two states / We want all of it!'. You don't need to be an expert in Middle East affairs to decipher this demand. It's a sick call to seize the entirety of Israel -- all of it -- and create a new state more in keeping with the Israelophobic yearnings of both privileged Westerners and radical Islamists. Their longing for Israel's erasure was made even clearer in a follow-up chant: 'We don't want no two states / We want '48!' That is, 1948, a time when the modern state of Israel didn't yet exist. They want a world without Israel. They want to lay waste to the national home of the Jews.

This isn't anti-imperialism, it's an imperious demand by the privileged of the West for the eradication of a small state they hate. These people bleat about Israel's 'ethnic cleansing' in Gaza, yet it is ethnic cleansing they themselves desire. As Democratic congressman Ritchie Torres has said of this chant, 'Turning the clock back to 1948 means wiping Israel off the map'. For months, Israelophobes have insisted that their slogan, 'From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free', is not a call to erase Israel. We can now see through that lie. 'We want all of it' rips the mask from their fake anti-war posturing and reveals the nuclear-level loathing for the Jewish State that lurks beneath.

Unsurprisingly, such feverish hatred for the Jewish nation can morph with startling speed into open loathing for the Jewish people. We've seen this around the Columbia camp. When counter-protesters turned up waving the Israel flag, one of the 'pro-Palestine' agitators cried: 'Uncultured-ass bitches, go back to Europe.' The Jews were taunted with yells of 'Go back to Poland'. Not content with cleansing the Middle East of Jews, some also want to cleanse America of these problematic people. It's fascistic hate masquerading as anti-militarism.

There are good people on both sides, our rapist president tells us.

Interesting how we've changed. When he was there, he got his degree without taking all 4 years. Why? Because his last year would have been 1917-1918, and he signed up. All students in that position got their diplomas automatically. (He flew Spads, which is neat as hell.)

Students attending Columbia J-School and all the others are being ripped off. J-School education is not required today to become a successful journalist. All you need after getting out of high school is:

1. A laptop.

2. A fast internet connection so you can access an on-line thesaurus and ChatGPT, and to email your stories to the dummies paying you.

3. Ability to remember that your stories need a victim (someone, real or fictional, who is not a straight white male) and an oppressor (a straight white male).

4. A fake J-School Diploma. Easily obtainable from the on-line outfits that sell fake documents to illegal aliens.

The male presidents didn't have balls either. Cornell had the first armed campus protest (we were all told it was first) in 1969. Takeover of student center; a frat actually entered and fought them, so then they brought in guns.

Campus leadership did nothing to punish the students.

Trump didn't push Israel for a 2 state solution and his moving the US embassy to Jerusalem gave Jews the idea they could ignore the Palestinians, who had no choice but to rape and murde...er, oppose their oppressors who then disproportionately decide to engage in genocide. And the people in the US protesting for Hamas are just being made to look bad by "The Media", and whoever it is that controls them and Hollywood.

Those they see as "oppressed" have always just been savages who have been waiting to throw off the cloak of false victimhood and do them violence. The Israelis know this better than anyone as the Palestinians don't put any effort at all into making their lies believable and yet people hew to them and their "cause."

Boy Bashes In Girl's Head Using a Stanley Thermos, Requiring the Girl to be Hospitalized after Having Her Scalp Sewn Back On; Media Hides The Fact That the Attacker is a Male Transgender Calling Himself "Melanie"

Boys and girls are exactly alike, and if girls don't want to have their brains bashed in at school, they should just take boxing lessons.

You know, classic girls stuff.


"I'm gonna murder you," shouted the trans-identifying student at Pennbrook Middle School as the 13-year-old blindsided a 12-year-old girl last week and bashed her skull repeatedly with a Stanley cup. The victim had to be hospitalized, her scalp stapled back together, and she had to go through a concussion protocol, according to police.
Advertisement

It's about as horrible a middle school assault as can be imagined, not in the least because students and staff alike were well aware of the perpetrator's "hit list."

The Daily Mail reported Monday that another 12-year-old female student -- remaining anonymous because of her age, like the victim and the thug -- made a public statement that "she and two fellow students filled out paperwork explaining what they knew was going to happen if nothing was done and said that she was warned 'watch your back' at lunch."

"You could've stopped it," she said. "It was five hours from when I told you it was going to happen. I don't get how you couldn't have stopped that."

"We had to watch [the victim] taken out with blood dripping down her face and I will never forget that! Laying in bed last night I just kept repeating it in my head."

Reportedly, she was next on the hit list -- the one the school did nothing about except to tell the "trans" kid's potential victims, "Don't worry about it, it's not gonna happen."

It never does happen. Right until it does.

Parents want to know why the school permitted this vicious transgender lunatic, who announced his intention to attack the girls on his "hit list" in advance, to remain in school to make good on his threats.

This media article dances around the student's identity as a transgender, never using a pronoun but finding other ways to refer to him, like "the seventh-grader" or "the student." They hide the fact that it was another case of Transgender Rage.

NORTH WALES, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- More than 50 people packed a North Penn School District meeting Thursday night to voice concerns about an attack that left a student injured.

The assault happened on Wednesday afternoon around 1:20 p.m. in the cafeteria of the Pennbrook Middle School in North Wales.

According to Upper Gwynedd police, surveillance video shows a 7th grader walking along a lunch table when the accused student runs towards her and begins hitting her in the head with a Stanley cup.

"This was avoidable and the district truly failed to protect the students at Pennbrook," said one parent at the meeting. "What are we supposed to say to our children after this? How do I send him back to school?"

"I just don't know what went wrong. How did it get to this point? I would like answers on that," added another parent.

...

Emily, a student at the school, witnessed the attack as others were eating lunch.

"I just hear all this screaming and everybody running. All of sudden you just hear these terrible loud bangs of the Stanley bouncing off her head," the student recalled. "We had to sit in there and watch them clean up the blood off those tables and ground, and we had to watch them take her out with blood dripping down her face and I will never forget that."

Upper Gwynedd police describe the incident as an "unprovoked, sudden, violent attack." They say the assailant came from behind and immediately began hitting the student.

"Next thing they heard was a bang," said Chris Pekula whose daughter was only feet away from the victim.

Police say the victim's injuries are so severe she had to get staples in her head and is on concussion protocol.

A security guard jumped on the alleged assailant who held onto the victim for several more seconds. Once the victim was freed, a teacher can be seen on the video shielding her from other students and walking her into a hallway. Other kids in the cafeteria looked stunned as they witnessed it all.

Oh there you go-- there's the media lying to you, telling you that "the assailant" is a girl.

It's not. It's a violent, mentally-ill boy who likes beating up on girls.


...

Parents say the attack could have been prevented if the school had heeded their warnings.

"The students went to the counselor yesterday and said, 'We heard something's gonna happen at lunch today,'" said Stephanie Palovcak of the warning she says other students gave to staff at Pennbrook Middle School Tuesday.

...

The school's principal, Nick Taylor, sent a letter to parents that says in part: "The safety of our students is of the utmost importance."

No, the safety of your students is of no importance. Only protecting the precious feelings of the violently mentally ill.

The letter went on to say, "I ask that parents speak with their children about the consequences of fighting."

"This isn't a fight. This is an assault," said Palovcak.

Getting smashed in the back of your head with a steel-lined bludgeon is "a fight."


The parents say it all happened after the alleged attacker had been in the school for only three days as a new student. The student's first day was Monday. The incident happened on Wednesday.

"There were multiple parents who reached out about this child making threats," said Palovcak of the worries parents had over the course of two days, including students describing the suspected assailant as having a list of people to beat up.

...

Stefan Ross says his son went to the student's previous school.

"The person came out from the trees and brandished a knife on my son and his friend," he said of an incident that allegedly happened off school grounds.

Did he really say "the person" or did he say "he"? I bet he said he, and you are changing the quotation to hide the student's actual sex from readers.

The principle denies The Person had been ejected from his last school due to violence.

We'll see how that claim holds up over time.


He spoke to concerned parents Thursday night saying, "This should not have happened period, as an educator, your superintendent and a father, I'm appalled by what happened. "We are currently pursuing the details leading up to this incident and why it occurred. We are also collaborating with our local law enforcement in their investigation as we work to ensure that something like this can't happen again."

I bet you the solution will be subjecting the normal, non-violent-lunatic students to lectures about how they should respect and love lunatics who threaten to kill them.


Below, a tiny little girl classmate describes the violent attack.

More reactions from the parents, below.

I've got it cued up to the school meeting, but the beginning of it is about Biden's Reichdiktat that schools must allow boys in girls' bathrooms.

BTW, C19 had little affect on those schools & Title IX doesn't apply to some. Kids in such schools don't seem to be as stressed out with mental health issues.

Brooklyn Pizzeria. Intersection of F.M. 1960 & Townsen Blvd., Humble, TX. Just a bit North of IAH Bush Intercontinental Airport.

They have all their ingredients flown in direct from NYC, on a weekly basis.

In addition, they have a Baytown location (on Garth Rd.), one in Sugarland, and maybe four or so others. But, you'd have to look those up to find 'em.

I've had several NYC natives who've told me, upon trying a slice, that it's "just like back home."

So, yeah. I'd endorse it. I do try to limit myself to one slice per month there, though. Don't wanna end up on the wrong side of the scale.

300 I was a Marine, I don't know if I mentioned.

But back when I was in "middle school" 6-9th grades, I was a wrestler, and a damn good one.

I had a meet, in 6th grade, and my opponent was a young girl. I offered to forfeit, my coach said, "She came here you go at her." Which I thought was weird, he didn't contest the fact that the match shouldn't happen at all, he just told me to fuck her up.

I couldn't.

The match started, I was kid gloves the entire time, (I know the term is kitt, shut up) and then she came in for a grapple, which consists of grabbing the head and the elbow of your opponent, standard shit. She outright fucking punched me, and she got away with it, and it happened more than that time. I kept breaking "lock" with her and she kept punching me.

The end of the story, even though it was a realatively long match for me, I was very good, I took so much abuse that, if it were a male the match would have been called. Instead, I had to take this authorized assault by a girl, and then HUMILIATE her when I put her on the mat, and I was the bad guy.

Surprise! Ph.D. Paper of UCLA Medical School's Top Political Officer for Diversity is Filled With, Get This, Plagiarism

Another scalp goes up on Chris Rufo's wall. And Luke Rosiak's.

Recent headlines about UCLA School of Medicine suggest that the institution has lost its focus. Instead of brushing up on organic chemistry, its students were subjected to lessons on "Indigenous womxn" and "two-spirits." Future doctors had to take a class on "structural racism" and were led in a "Free Palestine" chant by a Hamas-praising guest speaker. The school made plans to segregate students by race for courses on left-wing ideology, and two of its psychiatry residents championed "revolutionary suicide."

Why has the school charted this course? One reason is its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion ideology. UCLA has a DEI program called "Cultural North Star," and at the medical school, it is led by Natalie J. Perry, whose official title is Cultural North Star Lead. Her UCLA biography says that her job is to "embed our aspirational Cultural North Stars [sic] value [sic] in our organizational DNA." UCLA honored Perry last month for teaching students to "do what's right," saying her "empathy and radical listening" are to thank for her "success as an educator and a leader."

According to a Daily Wire and City Journal investigation, however, Perry's academic career is based on fraud. Perry published her Ph.D. dissertation in 2014 at the University of Virginia about college diversity programs. An analysis of the paper found it ridden with the worst sort of plagiarism, reproducing large swaths of text directly from several other authors, without proper citations. The scale of the plagiarism suggests that Perry lacks both ethics and competence and raises questions about academic programs that push DEI.

Perry's dissertation lifted passages from ten other papers. In key portions of her text, she copied almost every paragraph from other sources without attribution. She fails even to mention at least four of the ten plagiarized papers anywhere in her dissertation.

Let's review some examples.

The first three pages of Perry's paper, "Faculty Perceptions of Diversity at a Highly Selective Research-Intensive University," suggest that she did not even bother to read beyond the first page of papers from which she stole. Her dissertation's second sentence reproduces verbatim part of a sentence on the first page of a paper by Adrianna Kezar, Peter Eckel, Melissa Contreras-McGavin, and Stephen John Quaye. Her third paragraph, without citation, lifts more than 100 words from the first page of a paper by Angela Locks, Sylvia Hurtado, Nicholas Bowman, and Leticia Oseguera.

Each colored portion of the below text was taken from a different author:

In some cases when Perry did include parenthetical citations, she wasn't citing the papers whose text she had lifted. Instead, she simply reproduced the citations included in those stolen excerpts.

In other words: She read one book which then cited multiple other books as authority. Instead of citing the one book she actually read, she cited the books the book she read cited, which denies the credit for the research to the one book she actually read, and, not accidentally, makes it appear, falsely, that she read many books when in fact she just read the one.

Even if you don't think this is a big deal, it's a red flag: Only an imposter would feel the need to inflate the size of the bibliography she's drawing from.



A core part of Perry's dissertation involved summarizing work done by professors Robert Quinn and John Rohrbaugh. Instead of citing them directly, however, Perry cribbed summaries from other academics. Perry copied and pasted almost all of a nearly thousand-word passage from a paper by Chad Hartnell, Amy Yi Ou, and Angelo Kinicki, without quoting the authors.

I mean... she can't even write her own summaries?


...

In a section titled "Positioning Diversity Leadership in Higher Education," Perry copies almost every sentence from one of several other papers. In no case does she credit the actual source...

Und so weiter. See the link for the actual examples of alleged plagiarism.

What the hell is going on in DEI "studies"?

These people must have been caught out committing plagiarism earlier in their careers. Obviously, their fraudulence was covered up by DEI Fellow Travelers, and the lesson learned was "fraud and plagiarism are academic research, you just have to be crafty about it, and have the right advisors advising you how to get away with it if you get caught."

This isn't just a few DEI "bad apples" spoiling the barrel. Obviously the people filling the barrel are all in on it.

It's almost as if this is a massive grift in which all of the "professors" and all of the "students" are conspiring to pretend that DEI is not just a naked political grift for academic failures who cannot rise by their own merits, but is some kind of "real academic field" with citations and footnotes!

12 Well, if you haven't an original thought of your own, and you are incapable of reason, and the field of study you're hoping to exploit as a career has no basis in fact, then you're more likely to cut-n-paste the gobbledegook of others rather than being forced to come up with several pages of your own.

The fact that the plagiarism was unnoticed and inconsequential to the person's "expertise" should tell you a lot about the value of the position they hold in the first place.

25 Theory:

Promises of student loan repayment are not actually directed at favored voting bodies but at trying to make college more appealing. If the debts will be forgiven, then there's no problem taking on hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt, handing every penny to a university, and then getting a worthless degree.

It's about shoring up the university system, not paying a loyal voting base (though that's obviously part of it). Democrats at that level (same as Republicans) don't care about individuals, only donors.

In the town next to me they are demanding massive tax increases and the argument is that if they don't get them the town will lay off a bunch of teachers.

A couple of people now have pointed out scroll enrollment is down something like 15% over 10 years ago so why do they need so many teachers still?

And the answer? They've been attriting teachers over the years and replacing them with non-teaching staff. But uh...none of those people can be let go.

81 I think the "soft" sciences--mostly social sciences--are just that "soft". And they tolerate this sort of crapola cum sloppiness.

I think back to my long ago cite checking days on the California Law Review. As a 2L member of the Review you were subjected to many hours of drudgery, carefully checking the text of a a law review article, note or comment. You checked for grammar, you checked for spelling and you as heck checked for citations. If the author of the piece was going to quote somebody, you made sure that quotation was correct and properly acknowledged. If the author claimed that "Case X" made a particular point, you read the case to be sure the claim was correct. When or if the item ever got published, there was absolutely no question of plagiarism. If the author was going to use somebody else's words or ideas, that person was properly credited.

Plagiarism is both sloppy and lazy. OTOH if your mind is incapable of creating an original thought, what are you going to do? Ask Joe Biden about "borrowing" Neal Kinnock's speech.

148 New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft has announced that he is cutting Columbia University off and will no longer be donating to the school because of the antisemitism and hate school officials have allowed to flourish on campus.

The billionaire NFL owner noted that he is thankful that Columbia helped him start his adult life with the opportunities it offered him so many years ago. Still, now the university is “no longer an institution” he recognizes, Fox News reported.

“It was through the full academic scholarship Columbia gave me that I was able to attend college and get my start in life, and for that, I have been tremendously grateful. However, the school I love so much – the one that welcomed me and provided me with so much opportunity – is no longer an institution I recognize,” he wrote in a statement released Monday.

178 Because they didn’t do any work themselves, cited bogus data, used emotional invective to reinforce and as proof.

One of those things that sits out there and everyone sort of knows is that people are generally persuaded NOT by logic and region but instead by emotion.

The left has completely abandoned traditional logic because they see no reason to use it anymore.

Meanwhile the controlled opposition in the GOPe tells us that we should ONLY argue in dry logic and any rightwing appeal to emotion is wrong and should be stomped on.

186 Analysis: Pennsylvania GOP enjoys clean sweep of voter registration gains ahead of primary election. This is the first time I can recall, however, that the GOP posted gains in all 67 counties throughout the commonwealth.

The comparison to the last Presidential cycle is particularly stark. In May 2020, the Democratic advantage was D+803,427. Today it stands at 397,241. In that time 122,639 more voters have joined the rolls, yet Dems have lost 195,867 registrants as the Republicans gained 210,319. Independent voters who chose either no affiliation or some other party rose 108,187.

Even the shift since last October is significant. Back then, the Democratic advantage was 445,890. Over this period, Democrats lost 4,560 registrants, while Republicans gained 44,089 and Independents added 26,233...

The Bucks (county) number is the most eye-popping of all. Back in May 2020, Democrats held a 15,552 registration advantage here, yet now it’s down to a precarious 1,710. It seems that while the white-collar voters in Central Bucks abandoned the GOP in the Trump years, the blue-collar voters in Lower Bucks are only now leaving their ancestral Democratic home.

There was a huge fight on my stories (real housewives) over a book being written by a ghostwriter or not. Carol Radziwill wrote a biography and another lady insisted her publisher told her Carol used a ghostwriter. I wondered if she did after her reaction seemed over the top.
Carol worked for ABC and was a raging liberal and she was married to Lee Radziwill's son.

226 Russia warned Monday that the risk of a “direct military clash” between Russia and nuclear powers in the West is rising. “Westerners are dangerously balancing on the brink of a direct military clash between nuclear powers, which is fraught with catastrophic consequences,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in a video message to the participants of the Moscow Nonproliferation Conference. The comments come after Russia reacted angrily to the U.S. House of Representatives passing a $61 billion foreign aid package for Kyiv at the weekend.

It depends on how it is meant. Since God is Goodness itself, according to Classical Theism, then in that sense, it is true.

But it is sufficient to understand human nature to see the moral law. We can know it without revelation. Hell, Paul said that. (The Apostle, that is. Not Kurt and Sid's boyfriend.)

In fact, all societies largely see what's right and wrong. Sure, there are differences, and every society is blind to some sins. (Look at ours.) But they didn't need Moses to tell them murder and bearing false witness were wrong. Homer knew that, and so did Confucius.

Local Liberal Comes to Brave, Stunning Realization That Sexualizing Children Is Wrong

I try not to link Bill Maher. He's a nasty liberal. Once in a while he realizes things we've known our whole lives. Whoop-de-do.

But the below monologue is important. He says a few unsayable things, as far as liberals are concerned.

He has said a few things along these lines before. He noted, before, that it is not uncommon in Hollywood for a couple to have two or even three "trans" children, and pointed out that this statistical impossibility is certainly more about parental preference than a child's realization that he was "born in the wrong body."

Three times in a row you gave birth to children who were "born in the wrong body"? What are the odds?!

The odds are zero. This is impossible, flat-out, no asterisk.

But now he says a lot more:

He says that Ron DeSantis was right to fight wokeness and the sexualization of children.

He says there is a gay agenda to make heterosexuality seem like a bad choice for kids and coach them into making the right choice.

He says that teachers "entrap" kids into being gay or trans by suggesting it to them. He says that if you deny this, you must not be watching TikTok, then plays a couple of clips of teachers stating that they're preaching homosexuality.

He says that Hollywood has a lot of pedophiles in it and they're tolerated by liberals.

He says Disney is the successor company, after Nickelodeon, as the main company sexualizing children.

He points out that some liberal women are hypersexualizing their children for social media currency.

He says the left would defend "child f***ing" just because the "wrong people" are against it.

And he says that drag queen story hour is inappropriate, and that it is for the benefit of drag queens (and, I'd mention, leftwing white women looking to score wokeness points) and not children.

Here are a couple of quotes:

"A 2014 CNN report discovered that at least 35 Disney employees had been arrested for sex crimes against children. And in 2021, Disney child star Alyson Stoner confessed she only narrowly survived the toddler-to-trainwreck pipeline. The next year, child star Cole Sprouse told The New York Times that young actresses at the Disney Channel were heavily sexualized from an early age," he said.

Maher pointed out that Brian Peck, the dialogue coach who sexually abused Nickelodeon star Drake Bell, went to prison for 16 months -- and upon release was hired by Disney for a children's series.

"Oh, for pedophiles in Hollywood. It's a small world, after all," the comedian deadpanned. "DeSantis wasn't wrong! But we're so tribal now, the left will overlook child-f--ing if the guy from the wrong party calls it out."

"I've said it before, wokeness is not an extension of liberalism anymore. It's more often taking something so far that it becomes the opposite," he said.

Maher continued: "Teaching kids not to hate or judge those who are different. Great!...But at a certain point, inclusion becomes promotion. And contrary to current progressive dogma, children aren't miniature adults wise beyond their years, they're morons."


All of these things are very obvious, yes. But this is probably the first time they've been said on a -- all the quotations marks in the world for this -- " " " mainstream " " " media platform.

5 If a straight, male teacher started talking to a 4th grade girl about his sexuality, he'd be fired and imprisoned.

For some reason, it is just fine for a gender confused (often a male acting as a woman) teacher to tell 4th graders all about their sexuality.

7 I think Maher has been pretty red-pilled. I'm not saying he's an actual conservative, he's not, but it's similar to Elon Musk.

What I can't understand is why the sexualization of children/transgender/men in girls sports issue is not hurting Dems at the ballot box. Part of it is the Stupid Party (aka GOP) seems to want to steer clear on it. Every state should have this on the ballot.

But somehow Dems are able to get abortion and weed every time and every election cycle on the ballot.

I think that's Maher's most astute observation and something I've been saying is animating 90% of leftist thinking and policy at least since Trump came down the escalator: the left will oppose anything Trump or conservatives support.

Literally anything. I'm not joking. If Trump said tomorrow that we shouldn't cut out grandmom's liver and eat it with some fava beans and a nice Chianti, the left would scream that's racist and trans phobic and of course we should eat grandmom's liver.

37 Left to their own devices (and guided by caring parents), probably 95% of children are going to turn out normal (i.e., heterosexual).

The only reason why the percentages are so high in certain demographics is because there is a concerted effort by twisted sexual deviant adults into grooming another generation.

They cannot reproduce by normal means, so conversion is the ONLY means by which they can ensure their lifestyle continues.

I've seen a few leftists try to justify draq queen story hours by finding people who have taken their kids to Hooters.

Now at Hooters the waitresses wear shorts and a t-shirt.

At drag queen story hour you can get anything from a man in a g-string gyrating his lady cock in your kids face to a man making zerself look like a demon in a cocktail dress while reading a story about kids having anal sex with each other.

And...they compare these two things. For real.

the vast majority of the women are either a - not moms at all so don't care or b - moms whose daughters tried but didn't make varsity in high school so their dreams of getting them into Brown with a rowing scholarship were dashed (along with all the money they spent trying to get that to happen). very few student athletes get farther than 10th grade with it. and the parents - esp the moms - get pretty pissed about it. they'd prefer no girls play.

120 If Biden came out for privatizing social security or something, a healthy slice of the Republican Party would oppose it as big government overreach.

It's not that I would oppose it so much as that I would distrust (mistrust? maltrust?) him and think he was trying to pull something shady.

I see the abortion issue getting to where gay marriage is now. Basically settled and if Republicans try and change things, will be destroyed.

Not saying I like it, but every state is going t have their say on it and my guess is a good 45 of them will have abortion on demand. AZ has a ballot issue for the state constitution that is something like 6 months. I know people on the pro-life side of the campaign are basically conceding it will pass by like 20 points. If its a "state" issue, then I guess in my state, it's over. No more abortion talk.

Democrats also found out after losing several elections they couldn't be against the death penalty. Ask Dukakis how the "it's a state issue!" worked in his campaign.

Had a cow-worker go tranny. He went from a dumpy balding 40 year old to a dumpy balding 40 year old in school girl outfits. Oh and he put his hair in pigtails too.

And...I had to pretend this was completely normal at work.

190 Mahr is what is known as a "wave runner" in what goes for smart TV punditry comedy segment these days - he's been told by his "handlers" paid to listen to the ground that diddling kids and mocking parents who want a nice family, all while pulling your pants down and twerking your naked butt in defiance of 90% of your typical TV audience who hates government control might be bad for business, and he listens...so he's way ahead of those unfunny shit for brains that occupy that seat over at NBC, ABC or CBS.

192 154 I think Bill Maher, along with other notable lefties who've claimed to "see the light" are simply hedging their bets. They're cowards, like all our politicians. They hedge too.

Some think there might be a reckoning coming so they hop over to the other side in the hope they'll be spared whatever they suppose is coming.

Personally, I'm dubious about all that.

Preach it, brother. I have become an abolitionist in regards to abortion. It is an abomination, and an offense to the dignity of the person. Those that have no qualms killing an unborn baby, have no qualms killing anybody else they deem a "life unworthy."

- It is evil to intentionally kill an innocent person.
- Abortion entails the intentional killing of an innocent person.

209 Trans woman loses lower legs in NYC subway attack. Now, friends rally to help her.

The 29-year-old Black woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, was on her way to an appointment for gender-affirming treatment. She and Valdez were arguing on the station platform, and she was telling him she didn’t want to be around him.

She was making eye contact with bystanders and looking up at security cameras. “Those were the tools that I felt like I had, and those tools failed me,” she said. Finally she was grabbed and thrown onto the tracks in front of an oncoming train, she said.

Valdez had been imprisoned from 2020 to 2023 after pleading guilty to a knife attack on a mother and daughter in 2017, according to the Post. He was sentenced to eight years but was released on parole in January 2023. (Note: The Post uses they/them pronouns for both Valdez and the victim, but other sources use he/him for Valdez and she/her for the victim.)

DA Bragg said in the press release, "We take all acts of violence against riders very seriously, and my thoughts are with the victim as she navigates this terrible and horrifying incident.”

Honestly, the sexualization and grooming didn't surprise me that much. What shocked me was how many sexual "Easter eggs" were put into the shows themselves. On review they're really obvious too (and unpleasant). Nickelodeon came about a bit too late for my childhood so I can't speak to how obvious they were at the time for children watching or their parents.

so they got hundreds of tween girls sending feet pics

totally normal though, nothing to see here

That position is an accommodation to evil. Rather than having the pro-abortion types say, "Oh, okay then," they just double-down to wanting to kill unborn babies up to, or after, birth.

Weird. Take away the tools for people to defend themselves, and punish bystanders for intervening, and you're left with helpless people staring at security cameras, hoping for a miracle, as they're thrown in front of an oncoming train.

I always find this fascinating among so many of the 'middle roaders' who wake up and realize they do not like the direction of things. You stand in the ruins of a civilization based on Christianity. Fucking deal with it. That civilization preached tolerance, justice and looking out for your fellow man (which were the seeds for where we are now.) It also proscribed a code of conduct in what you should aspire to. Not easy, but what is the point of a ideal if it is easy?

So, you do not want that? Ok. Then it's commies all the way down. The secular, enlightened, amoral decade lasted all of... a decade(?) before it collapsed into the slide to hell we have now. You say you want a vacuum, but nature does not work that way. People fill their lives with something, just be careful what you fill that emptiness with.

Opening Statement in Trump Persecution; Outside of Court, Trump Declares, "These are Biden Trials. Everyone knows it."

Yes, everyone knows it.

But 40% of the country is cheering it.

Arriving at the courthouse for the beginning of opening statements, former President Donald Trump blasted the New York criminal case against him as a politically motivated "Biden trial" designed to damage his chances in the upcoming November election.

Trump arrived in court in Manhattan on Monday morning, ahead of opening statements in his trial. Prosecutors for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office and Trump's defense attorneys are set to deliver their opening statements. Trump has blasted the trial as pure politics, a "political persecution" and maintains his innocence. "I just want to say before we begin -- these are all Biden trials," Trump said before opening statements were delivered Monday. "This is done as election interference. Everybody knows it."

...

Trump also pointed to New York Attorney General Letitia James' case, in which he was forced to post a $175 million bond and found liable for fraud by New York Judge Arthur Engoron after a months-long civil trial without a jury. Trump criticized James and Judge Engoron, calling the latter an "extremely crazed judge who is the most overturned judge in New York State."

Jake Tapper demanded that a CNN fact -- I mean, opinion-- checker fact-check Trump's opinions about the weakness of the Democrat prosecution.

From Newsbusters:

CNN's resident "fact checker" Daniel Dale usually shows his face on air when CNN wants to attack Donald Trump. On Thursday's The Lead with Jake Tapper, Dale confessed that Trump's statements during jury selection were mostly just opinion, but he mocked the "false conspiracy theory" that President Biden had something to do with Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's prosecution, even though an Associate Attorney General joined Bragg's team.
Advertisement


JAKE TAPPER: Daniel, we just heard a little speech from Mr. Trump. What did you make of it? Did he say anything that was not true?

DANIEL DALE: He did. I mean, it was mostly uncheckable, subjective opinion, but he did say a few things that weren't quite right at very least. So he repeated his false conspiracy theory that essentially that Joe Biden is behind this case, which was brought by a locally elected [Democrat!] district attorney. He said Biden is behind it. He has his top people working with the DAs office to make sure everything goes right.

"A few things that weren't quite right" is now the standard for judging an opinion false.

Say Fake Jake, have you gotten around to fact-checking Biden's claim that his uncle was eaten by cannibals?

48 Salon: "It would be a disaster": Judge's ruling could "short-circuit" Trump's plan to testify at trial.

The judge overseeing Donald Trump's criminal hush-money trial on Monday ruled that prosecutors can confront the former president with his past misconduct if he chooses to testify. Prosecutors can ask about Trump's civil fraud ruling and his repeated violations of a gag order in the case as well as the defamation and rape trials brought by writer E. Jean Carroll and another lawsuit in which the Trump Foundation was found to be engaged in repeated self-dealing.


He was never going to do it in the first place. He blusters and postures like always, but he won't do it. And his lawyers will have warned him how disastrous it would be if he did (not that he listens to his lawyers). Also, if the lawyers let him testify knowing he'll lie, which he would because he always does, they're in ethical hot water themselves because they'd be suborning perjury - they'd have to withdraw from representing him.

He won't testify. Later he was tell his moronic followers that the corrupt Judge wouldn't let him.

So she finally rolls in all disheveled and breathless, saying she "couldn't tear myself away from the trial".

She said of course Trump had to show up and make his speech for his supporters, and I said, Why wouldn't he, he's being railroaded.
And she gave me a really dirty rotten sour look.

And I asked her: Did I say something to disturb you?

And then it devolved from there and I said, Imma go eat my lunch. And I had a knife that I was using to cut me grapefruit in half and I contemplated stabbing her in the throat with it.

The whole effort will fall apart when he talks to Mitch (miraculously still Senate caucus leader next year despite his promise to retire from the post) about Ass Kicker AG, and Mitch says he won't even allow the floor vote.

Trump will then continue to try and play ball against an opposition that won't even let the ball be played.

It was honestly stupid stuff.

Like he was sitting next to a girl at Butt-Numb-A-thon, and he wouldn't take his leg away while he giggled at the invasion of personal space.

But his whole dumb empire was due to collapse. It just took the smallest of breezes of wind. It should have collapsed after he conned people into Kickstarting his little show that he used the funds to pay off back taxes, but I guess an overblown sex charge at the very start of MeToo would do it.

213 > Ilhan’s daughter is doing what she and her family do best: demanding someone else provide for all her needs.

Speaking of providing for your needs, I just need to rant a bit.

There's a woman in our Ward (like a parish) who is a mess, and a LOT of people have spent many hours helping her out. She's mid 40s, has three kids, and some fairly serious health issues. She's had several surgeries on a leg to help correct her walking.

Her oldest son is a criminal thug gang member.

I have no problem with people genuinely needing help, and she does, but damn is she really milking it.

The other day she told the Bishop her kid is having trouble on the bus, so someone needs to start picking the kid up from school. She has another kid in school who needs to be picked up at the same time, which she can't do. So that's two members picking up this lady's kids. She also has people bringing her dinners every night. She also has people taking her to and from MD appointments.

Throughout history, protests were co-opted and made to look bad so police and public leaders would shut them down. That’s what we are seeing now at Columbia University. The Columbia protesters have made clear their demands and want their school not to be complacent in the ongoing Genocide in Gaza. Public officials and media making this about anything else are inflaming the situation and need to bring calmness and sanity back.

That fat hack fuck is still around? I suppose he could be part of some polyamorous group with a fat girl and six other guys. I despised him and trusted his film reviews in the way I trust Kramer's financial advice: I do the opposite.

Been busy with life. My local news station always describes it as a "hush money" trial. Isn't the crux of the situation that Trump paid someone a sum to settle a suit and there was a nondisclosure statment? Doesn't this happen 1000 times a day across the country ?

He can buy chickens at Costco.
Problem:
Costco scans food with a LED light. LED light contaminates your food.
Solution?
Print up a shirt with the bar code for your delicious Costco chickens and have them scan the shirt. Crisis averted.

Yep. Not a crime. Supposedly one of the other issues is the payment was listed in Trump's financial statement as Legal Payment because the payment was made to a lawyer and some accountant actually made the entry not Trump.

This is the dumbest of all the prosecutions so far.

268 Trump ought to answer ever question he gets if asked by the prosecution, "cannibals ate my uncle."

And then if queried further, should say, "and I was raised by Puerto Ricans in the neighborhood I grew up in."

And if anything further, says "I have never been in business with my son, ever!"

Bullshit. It's not that there wasn't anything the police could do, it was
1) They didn't want to do anything
2) They were told not to do anything
3) both 1 & 2 (power of AND)

It will reach a point where vigilantes will take care of problems the DAs and police refuse to. And if the vigilantes are hunted down by gov't agencies?... ::: types, deletes :::

After the hearing, President Trump's lawyer in the case, Alina Habba, fumed at the judge's incompetence, "he doesn't even understand basic principles of finance," and at AG James' "this is where your taxpayer dollars are going America...witch hunt after witch hunt after witch hunt..."

Habba continued to excoriate the whole farce:

"...in one hour, that judge and the attorney general realized they had no idea what they were talking about... and we came to an agreement that everything would be the same..."
