Dictator of Colombia Visits NYC, Urges Pro-Hamas Crowd to Resist the US Government; Trump Revokes This Piece of Shit's Visa
Via Soothsayer, this is what I voted for.
Reuters thinks this is very very sad and that foreign dictators should be allowed to call for US troops to insurrect against the legitimately-elected president.LOL, "cracking down on pro-Palestinian voices." Once again, they mean violence. Their violence is their voice, doncha know.
The United States said it would revoke Colombian President Gustavo Petro's visa after he took to New York's streets on Friday in a pro-Palestinian demonstration and urged U.S. soldiers to disobey President Donald Trump's orders. "We will revoke Petro's visa due to his reckless and incendiary actions," the State Department posted on X. Petro, addressing a crowd of pro-Palestinian protesters outside the U.N. headquarters in Manhattan, called for a global armed force with the priority to liberate Palestinians, adding, "This force has to be bigger than that of the United States." "That's why from here, from New York, I ask all the soldiers of the army of the United States not to point their guns at people. Disobey the orders of Trump. Obey the orders of humanity," Petro said in Spanish. Reuters could not immediately confirm whether Petro was still in New York. His office and Colombia's foreign ministry did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The Trump administration has been cracking down on pro-Palestinian voices while countries including France, Britain, Australia and Canada have recognized a Palestinian state - moves that have angered Israel and its ally the U.S.
Petro, Colombia's first leftist president and a vocal opponent of Israel's war in Gaza, hit out at Trump in his speech to the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday, saying the U.S. leader was "complicit in genocide" in Gaza and calling for "criminal proceedings" over U.S. missile attacks on suspected drug-running boats in Caribbean waters.

Yeah, it applies mostly to embassies, staff, and ambassadors and the like…but a head of state/government is the chief diplomat. Trump is certainly the chief diplomat we have that can and will negotiate with different governments at the highest level when he feels the need to (with SecState Rubio handling other matters at a slightly lower level). So…if a foreign head of state is here fomenting bad behavior, the President has every right to kick him out and revoke his visa. Hell, he could do it just because the President of Colombia looked at him wrong.
Good on Trump, and it is a shame what happened to Colombia.

One could see the argument that right after WWII having the UN here would get the world to understand that we were setting the policy. And that's why we had to spend so much on it too...
But all they've done is stole our money and used it as a platform to advance an anti-American agenda.
I've argued for a long time that we should end our membership in the UN and evict them from NYC. Seems now is as good a time as any.

I don’t think we should end our membership in the UN because (hard as it is to believe) it has its uses. That being said, I’d prefer they leave the U.S. and go to Geneva, where they have an alternate HQ set up.
Use the current UN HQ building in NYC as a parking garage.

The NFL is gay. They told you. So if you enjoy watching men pretending to be women dance in hot pants this is the sport for you.
While I haven't watched the NFL in years now, I saw part of a MNF game a few years ago at a restaurant. And...people watch this shit? Its like watching low ranking arena bowl teams. There is no defense. There is no strategy. Its just toss the ball, toss the ball, toss the ball and if a defender makes a play its a flag.

Related issue is our current congress critters talking out their ass on CNN or whatever.

I make the same argument for the 5th Amendment. If you are a government official and are charged with crimes in the official conduct of your duties, you should not be able to take the 5th. Again, for those to whom great power and authority is given, much is expected.
And for those who would use the argument of Constitutional protections...uh, Nope. Just look to the average soldier or sailor and see that Constitutional protections are conditional and not absolute while they are in service.
Just wanted to get those thoughts off my chest.

Diplomatic immunity generally means that you won't be arrested for minor infractions of the law while you're here on official business.
The general solution for diplomats that come here and act like asshats is to declare them persona non grata and remove them from the country, as the Trump admin is doing in this case.

Today, the family members who returned to Chile shake their heads in dismay over the current batch of loony leftists who run the government (and they lament that the country does not have its own version of Donald Trump in the offing).

Time will tell. The "big deals" in the last 50 years that changed the actual strategic situation in the region were the Egyptian surrender, er, "deal" with Israel in 1978, and the removal of the last important "rejectionist front" power, the Ba'athist regime in Iraq, in 2003.
One involved commitments by the anti-western/anti-Israeli side that were specific concrete and near-term in nature, the other involved no commitments, just elimination of the problem. "Deals" with Qatar in the current situation - or those involving Egypt or the al-Saud, and in any way involving the Paleostinians - are extremely unlikely to pan out. But Israel has now established a dominant position where they can take risks. Guess we'll see.

This is true, and it remains true. He was not prosecuted for sedition. He was not prosecuted for anything.

This is actually more complex than this. Bolivar is considered something of a prophet for the Americas due to his Letter from Jamaica where he wrote in his first exile what he thought the future for the South American revolutions against Spain would bring. His last letter, Correspondence to General Flores, an old subordinate from the rebellion, is even more so. Bolivar was tired, dying from consumption and a lifetime of hard fighting, and had been deposed from his position of the government of Colombia when an emissary from Gen Flores arrived to see what he could do. Bolivar wrote him a letter that has turned out to be surprisingly accurate, and then died, waiting for the ship that would carry him to exile in Britain.

JK Rowling tells some hollywood celery, Emma Watson, (who?) to fuck off:
>>>“I wasn’t a multimillionaire at fourteen,” Rowling wrote of Watson, who was cast as Hermione Granger in the hit franchise. “I lived in poverty while writing the book that made Emma famous. I therefore understand from my own life experience what the trashing of women’s rights in which Emma has so enthusiastically participated means to women and girls without her privileges.”

Apparently Emma Watson is finding being a woke dingbat isn't as lucrative as it was a few years ago and has started a half hearted rapprochement with Rowling - the woman that made her famous.
I like Rowling's response "Adults can't expect to cosy up to an activist movement that regularly calls for a friend's assassination, then assert their right to the former friend's love, as though the friend was in fact their mother"
I like this because it shows how violent the left has gotten.
This isn't disagreeing with others, or even denouncing them, but threatening to kill them if they don't go along with the leftwing narrative.
And it should be pointed out Rowling is still politically far left. She has just refused to budge from 3rd generation feminism to 4th generation feminism (trannyism). She and Watson almost certainly agree on 95% of the issues of the day.

He called for US troops to insurrect against the US president whilst in his capacity as president of a foreign nation on US soil. Technically that is an act of war, and as such he could be imprisoned. Being PNG'd is letting him off very light, and deep down he knows it. What will be interesting is to see whether staff at the Colombian embassy and consulates (there are 12) are asked to withdraw as well.

Recently, emma watson, a famous child-celery, decided to show fake grace to JK Rowling, who she has been demonizing for years.
JK wasn't having. Rowling said watson can believe in whatever she likes, however...
"Emma Watson and her co-stars have every right to embrace gender identity ideology. Such beliefs are legally protected, and I wouldn't want to see any of them threatened with loss of work, or violence, or death, because of them.
However, Emma and Dan in particular have both made it clear over the last few years that they think our former professional association gives them a particular right - nay, obligation - to critique me and my views in public. Years after they finished acting in Potter, they continue to assume the role of de facto spokespeople for the world I created."
In other words, Shut The Fuck Up, You Cunts.

I had read that long ago, but forgotten how on-point it was. Nobody pays attention to Cuba anymore, and rightly so; even the critical blogs that used to track conditions there have given up. But Cuba is steadily descending into a state that will be even worse than before Columbus discovered it.
Bolivar's point 6 - "If it were possible for any part of the world to revert to primitive chaos, It would be America in her last hour" (he means the Hispanic controlled America's) Also point 5, "Once we've been eaten alive by evey crime and extinguished by ferocity, the Europeans won't even bother to conquer us."
Which is why Maduro saying that the US wants to invade Venezuela, or Cuba, is so nonsensical. Who would want to own a toxic waste dump packed with only the sick, the elderly, and the mentally deficient, everyone with any competence having left long ago? Let it all sink back into the jungle from which it briefly arose.

I think that shrewd detective's assistant Watson also senses the direction of the wind, like Malcolm Gladwell. Public opinion is blowing t'other way. So now that any number of young girls who bravely spoke out have been scorched by the flames of transgenderism, the rich and powerful are bravely admitting that they might be able to reconsider, or fess up to a bit of fibbing, or such, and asking for some sympathy or congratulations for their willingness to turn just enough to keep the wind at their backs.

A Breakthrough in Genetics: The Elimination of Chromosome 21 and the Future of Down Syndrome Treatment
In a stunning breakthrough that has sent ripples across the scientific and medical communities, Japanese scientists have reported a landmark achievement in the field of genetics. For the first time, they have successfully eliminated the extra chromosome 21—the genetic cause of Down syndrome—from cultured human cells using cutting-edge CRISPR technology. This monumental step could pave the way for potential new therapies in the treatment of Down syndrome and other genetic disorders, but it also raises profound ethical questions about the future of genetic engineering, human diversity, and the boundaries of scientific progress.

It depends on the scale. For 35, she looks pretty good, I'd say. Fit, pretty face, dresses well...certainly well above average for 35 year old US women in general. Just having a good BMI put her well above average in that regard (excluding crack/meth addicts, of course).
Kate Upton is 33, and obviously hotter, but I think Emma Watson is cute enough that any normal guy would be interested in her (until they heard her batshit crazy beliefs).

I'm betting some trans people Watson knows gave her grief at some point for not being a perfect ally. But you can NEVER be a perfect enough ally for them. So now throwing an olive branch to Rowling, is REALLY getting her canceled by trans as an imperfect ally. I kinda love Rowling is like, thanks but no thanks Emma, and I'll just sit over here with a bucket of popcorn and watch the cancel show.
That, and Watson realizes the new Harry Potter show will supplant her as the "Hermione" for a younger generation of kids, and might threaten her legacy. So she thinks cozying up to Rowling again will net her something.

The last big foofoorah between Petro and Trump was over the repatriation flights for Colombian nationals. Petro objected to them being flown in manacles.
It was resolved through back channels by ex president Álvaro Uribe who . . . Is now facing 12 years in jail for bribery due to prosecution by Petro's administration. So he may be less willing to pull Petro's cojones from the fuego

The more time goes on, the more I wonder whether that whole prostate cancer thing was an excuse to get him quietly off stage so that he wouldn't embarrass the party anymore. Trump has given him many reasons to make statements (President Autopen, anyone) and he studiously hasn't made any. That's not his nature.

I love all the main Slytherin movie villain actors — Lucious Malfoy, Voldemort, and Bellatrix — defended Rowling. And all the hero actors — Harry, Ron, Hermione — threw her to the Dementors. Not very Griffindor of them.
Keeping Rowling from THE REUNION SHOW FOR HER OWN SERIES was such a huge crossed line. They were just gooing to talk about the show, not trans issues. But that was peal woke.
Ironically, they put a trans character, and a lesbian couple, in the Hogwarts Legacy game, and they were some of my fave characters! Rowling doesn't care if you are trans, she cares if you want to make biological women feel unsafe. But the left is never, ever good at nuance.

China did a big investment project in Venezuela about 15 years ago, thought of it as a great foothold in Venezuela's oil businesses. They spent a couple billion dollars, I think. When it was still safe to travel there, I read of someone who had gone there to check it out - half of the facilities the Chinese financed were never completed, the other half had been completed but then were looted of everything that wasn't nailed down and left in decrepit condition.
Maduro's regime is barely able to keep the city of Caracas functional; the rest of the country is collapsing.
Some people talk about how China is advancing its interests in Africa. They forget that China is learning the hard way how difficult it is to get anyone in Africa to do any work of any kind. (except to murder each other)

China is crashing against the same rocks as a large number of mercantile empires before them. See also: Sri Lanka.
Eventually, your must be able to back up your ambitions with direct administration, and that means power projection to conquer the subject nation and recover your asset value. There is no middle ground, because the subject nation can say, "we're out of money. you're not getting paid. Thanks for the ports and shit" - and without the credible threat of invasion, that's what eventually happens.

I don't think many women want this. It's certainly not in the porn they read, however degenerate it may be. Those women who do it are usually trying to do something nice for their man (who is gay).
Last year when Benzino was sort-of in the news again for being stupid, his ex popped up to report that he'd asked her to do it and she told everyone "oh yeah, he gay".

---
The "president" of Colombia, who is a big Fag, which is barely a real "country," was just in NY and decided to talk shit and campaign for moondanky.
He then decided to pick up a bullhorn and say this in Spanish: "I ask to all the soldiers of the US Army don't put your hands against the people. Disobey the Trump orders. Obey the order of humanity."
Then, you'll never guess what happened next.
VISA re-fucking-voked.
The homosexual pervert "president" of Colombia, which is not really a country, found out his US visa was pulled.
He went on Twitter to make things worse for himself:
"Separating the U.S. from Colombia is what the mafias need.
What the U.S. govt is doing to me breaks all the norms of immunity on which the functioning of the United Nations and its General Assembly is based.
There is total immunity for presidents attending the General Assembly, and the U.S. cannot condition the opinion of the U.S. [note: I believe this homo commie idiot and his gay translator meant to write U.N.]."

A guy was arrested for having sex with a woman's horse. He had been arrested for doing it before. The woman was asked what made her think he was doing but again and her answer was
" My horse started showing signs of an infection" . Yuck

He went on Twitter to make things worse for himself:
"Separating the U.S. from Colombia is what the mafias need.
What the U.S. govt is doing to me breaks all the norms of immunity on which the functioning of the United Nations and its General Assembly is based.

Good luck with that argument. There's a new sheriff in town, and you have no immunity. None of you have any immunity--you are *guests* in our country, and when you misbehave, you will be escorted out.

Georgia, no matter how good they are, has an Alabama problem.
Personally, I think it is because they are so similar. When the Alabama ones practice against their own ones, it serves as game prep for Georgia. The slight difference is that Alabama is in Kirby's head.

Ukrainian children abducted by Russia rescued from occupied territories
More than a dozen Ukrainian children and teenagers were recently rescued from Russian-occupied territories in the country...Some of the 35,000 Ukrainian kids believed to have been abducted by Russian troops since the start of the war...Some of the children rescued had lived in constant fear of being forced to join the Russian army, he said...Shocking images from Russian state television have shown young Ukrainian boys and girls assembling and firing assault rifles...The soldiers allegedly killed the parents in front of their child, then took the girl hostage, Ukrainian officials said...“Kill everyone indiscriminately — everyone. Well except the children,” a Russian commander is heard ordering the troops, before reportedly using her as a shield to advance deeper in the region.
Even the Kremlin’s Children’s Rights commissioner, Maria Lvova-Belova, has publicly bragged about adopting a boy from the city of Mariupol, which was seized by Russian forces in 2022 following a bloody, months-long siege.

Ask this retired general how many wars he and his friends have unequivocally won since 1991.

Recruiting is through the roof under @SecWar; it tanked under him and his failed ilk. The soldiers have spoken.

Thousands of Penn State fans wear Charlie Kirk’s iconic ‘FREEDOM’ shirt in tribute at game against his favorite team
By Jackson Thompson, Fox News, Published Sep. 28, 2025
In part, "A number of Penn State football fans were seen wearing Charlie Kirk’s “FREEDOM” T-shirts at Saturday night’s game against Oregon.
Footage and photos of the students in the shirts went viral across social media.
Oregon, which was Kirk’s favorite college football team, went on to win the game in a 30-24 thriller. Oregon defensive back Dylan Thieneman pulled in a game-sealing interception in overtime, ensuring Kirk’s favorite team won in front of thousands of supporters wearing his signature shirt.
Conservative influencer Benny Johnson organized an event that handed out 5,000 of the shirts to fans ahead of Saturday’s game in the Beaver Stadium parking lot.
Johnson shared footage earlier on Saturday that showed a line of people waiting for the shirts. The line wrapped around multiple sections of the parking lot, with the crowd cheering as he bragged about the length.
Eventually, a loud “USA!” chant broke out."

You have been expelled, which is perfectly consistent with norms of immunity. That is how it works. Diplomats get expelled, not prosecuted for anything. You have failed at diplomacy, and you have been expelled. That is all.

Nah. They’re already making noises about being scared of the Obamacare issue. Even Trump has signaled making the COVID subsidies is on the table, even while acknowledging the massive fraud. Thune said it again last night- that it’s a policy issue they are willing to discuss. They’re actually afraid the thousands of people involved in the fraud are actually voters or citizens. lol. Dunces.

It gets complicated. From my understanding, there are now a lot of programs with staff that are no longer authorized by law--that is the problem with the decades long ignoring of regular order.
Standing committees have to reauthorize programs and so Congress may appropriate the money to pay for 'expired' programs, Trump can eliminate the 'unauthorized' program and staff during a shutdown because Congress failed to legally reauthorize spending the money and thus the money appropriated is not spent.
As usual, will come down to court decision over it.

The thing I'm worried about is every fall, we do a children's singing program in our churches. All the kids under the age of 12 get up and sing songs about Jesus, grandparents and family come from out of town to see them sing. Most churches were doing their children's music programs yesterday. So the church in Detroit potentially had more elderly people and children than normal in their church meeting, when this scumbag attacked. I'm really scared to have the final body count go up, and there's a lot more kids and elderly on the list. Been praying a lot.
Our church does not permit guns on the church grounds, which I hate. My husband conceal carries and can't bring his gun into the church. I hope this policy changes! I'd feel safer if everyone that can conceal carry was.
General Conference is this weekend, our worldwide meeting we watch at home. Hopefully that helps give the members in Detroit a reprieve, since they don't have to be meeting in person. I know how our church is, everyone will rush to help.

Progressive is pulling out, and refocusing on auto coverage. You can get good rates from them now, as they buy up marketshare.
Also, assume the illegals fleaing (sic) is helpful for uninsured rates.
Meantime SC underwriters are mandating premiums of 6% the value of your home for "wind and hail" coverage.

On resolution, the state should refuse to allow trespass or gun charges against a member that carries but the church itself can expel the member.
Essentially churches that ban carry want it both ways--state to protect them and the state to disarm its congregants by criminal force if necessary. Roll it back to church makes the rules but can only ask someone carrying to leave and charge them only if they refuse to leave under trespass laws.

Depends on states, Georgia does not have binding signage laws for private property owners, some states do to designate forbidden areas. Texas, has such laws TPC 30.06 and 30.07. Class C if discovered carrying in a signage area and upgraded to Class A if you refuse to leave that location.
Whereas Georgia only allows misdemeanor trespass charges if the person carrying disinvited from that private property refuses to leave.
Leaving aside bars and other possibly prohibited places like banks, etc.

I like Rowling's response "Adults can't expect to cosy up to an activist movement that regularly calls for a friend's assassination, then assert their right to the former friend's love, as though the friend was in fact their mother"
I like this because it shows how violent the left has gotten.
This isn't disagreeing with others, or even denouncing them, but threatening to kill them if they don't go along with the leftwing narrative.
And it should be pointed out Rowling is still politically far left. She has just refused to budge from 3rd generation feminism to 4th generation feminism (trannyism). She and Watson almost certainly agree on 95% of the issues of the day.

The commies absolutely hate the Mormons. When CA actually voted overwhelmingly for traditional marriage, the commies called it the "Mormon Amendment" because there was one rich Mormon who gave money to the PAC. Never mind that the state constitutional amendment was passed because the Black churches all campaigned for it and voted for it in huge numbers.
Just wait until the Mormons get really pissed off, probably the most heavily armed religious community in the US, and always mindful of the persecution they suffered when they were a small community in the Eastern part of the US.

THE MORNING RANT: Virtually No One Actually Charges Their Plug-In Hybrid EV
Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles ("PHEVs") may be the most preposterous product that was developed during the EV bubble and hype. They are a solution in search of a problem. (Plug-in hybrids are entirely different than traditional Prius-style hybrids, which are gasoline-powered vehicles that use regenerative braking to generate supplemental electricity for propulsion, but which cannot be externally charged like PHEVs.)
The argument for PHEVs is that they "solve" the range problem of pure battery electric vehicles ("BEVs") by having both a standard internal combustion engine ("ICE") and also a lithium-battery electric drivetrain, allowing them to be charged via a cord. But with two entirely separate engines under the hood, PHEVs have more ways to fail and a whole lot of extra weight, making them poor-performing alternatives to either pure ICE or pure electric cars. They also add a gasoline bomb to a potential lithium runaway thermal fire. Of course, the obvious solution to the range limitations of a BEV is not to buy one, and to buy a gasoline-powered ICE vehicle instead. To be fair, PHEVs do solve one problem. They allow people who want to identify as EV-drivers, but who really need (and prefer) ICE cars, to be able to pat themselves on the back for buying a chargeable electric vehicle. The only problem is that they just aren’t charging their PHEVs. Virtually no one who buys a plug-in hybrid EV is actually plugging it in! “Basically No One Plugs in Their Plug-In Hybrids; Toyota Thinks It Has the Solution” [Motor Trend – 9/18/2025] This Motor Trend article states that not plugging-in ”defeats the purpose of a PHEV.”After all, if you're not charging your PHEV, you're basically driving a regular hybrid with hundreds of extra pounds of electronics and other gear on board. That's more inefficient and defeats the purpose of a PHEV.That’s not the case. As I just mentioned, the purpose of buying a plug-in hybrid is for the self-satisfaction of owning a chargeable vehicle without the hassle of ever actually charging it. So Toyota is working to get people to actually plug in their PHEVs by developing apps, games, and notification protocols to remind people to plug their car into the wall.
To achieve these increases, the app delivered just-in-time reminders such as push notifications that were said to be 50 percent more effective than generic prompts. It also applied positive reinforcement in the form of messages that rewarded streaks, delivered encouragement, and summarized their charging habits.As if there weren’t already enough reasons not to buy a PHEV, a car that constantly nags me with electronic reminders and push notifications sounds like pure torture. Perhaps Toyota can name one of its hectoring plug-in hybrids the “Toyota AWFL.”
More seriously, the fact that there is a near-zero incidence of people charging a vehicle that has the alternative option of being gassed up proves that an occasional 5-minute stop at the gas station is ultimately less hassle and more time efficient than daily wall charging. As to the argument that charging is cheaper, we are talking about people who already paid a significant premium for the “hood ornament” that identifies the car as a chargeable EV. A dollar saved is not meaningful compared to the value of their time.
EV enthusiasts will argue that the daily ritual of plugging-in your vehicle when you get home, and then unplugging it when you leave again, takes only a minute or two, so there is no reason it can’t be done on a daily basis. Here are some other household rituals that only take a minute or two, but aren’t necessarily performed on a daily basis or immediately attended to in all households: flossing, putting dishes in the dishwasher rather than the sink, unloading the dishwasher, putting up all clothes at all times, not leaving personal items on counters or tables, taking out trash, watering houseplants, cleaning the litter box, etc. There are a multitude of daily chores that only take a couple of minutes, but they add up to a significant capture of valuable personal time. Small chores that can be put off a couple days tend to be put off. Charging a plug-in hybrid is one of those household chores. It’s clear that PHEV drivers have reasoned that the occasional fill-up while doing errands or commuting is preferable to a doing an annoying household chore 14 times per week (e.g. – plugging-in and unplugging their car ever day.) A relative of mine had a Tesla and was constantly running late because she “forgot” to charge her car. Actually, she prioritized more important things than her car whenever she got home. While EV super-fans may enjoy the ritual (sacrament?) of plugging their cars in each evening, sort of like how boaters enjoy the task of scrubbing their boat after a day on the water, for those of us for whom cars are necessary appliances, daily car maintenance is an unwanted burden. A busy parent doesn’t have time to think about tethering the car to the wall of the garage when there are children to unbuckle, groceries to unload, dinner to start preparing, etc. It seems likely that plug-in hybrids have about as much future as pure electric vehicles, serving as a boutique, status-symbol product that does not serve the needs of the majority of car drivers. Meanwhile, traditional Prius-style hybrids continue to grow in popularity because they do provide a benefit, specifically, much better gas mileage in city driving, without the hassle of having to charge the vehicle.

Does the car work without the app? If so, there's an obvious solution here.
I am a stone-age dinosaur and have a fairly strict "no apps" policy. The mobile phone is the least secure device ever conceived, and apps are *all* nothing but data-harvesting systems. Without exception. If I *must* use an app to do something, I don't do that thing. This requires more homework than ever to achieve. You'd be astounded just how many good to high-end WiFi routers, for example, require a damn spy-app to function.

Which is, in fact, true. It isn't difficult or time-consuming. Doesn't even take a couple of minutes, it takes a couple of seconds. This is not a major inconvenience or barrier. The cost of a home charger is a different story, as are various other trade-offs, but this isn't actually that big a deal and will be a deal-breaker for nobody. If you want an EV, you're already cool with this and it's a rounding error on the inconveniences of daily life.

Posted by: Lizzy
The stated reason is that most people do short hauls in their daily driving in urban/suburban areas. So a 30-50 miles per day roughly corresponds with the plug in solely electric range. That in turn reduces emissions locally (dunno about the total systems analysis including mfg carbon etc.) which in regards to urban and suburban areas, emissions are pretty high.
Unlike Buck in this case, I can see why some people might favor it plug in hybrids more than an EV as you can go electric for daily driving yet have the comfort of gas/regular hybrid for longer trips or when the plug in battery is depleted.
That being said, the additional costs and complexity of such systems is self limiting and likely to disappear altogether without being subsidized by government. Hybrids currently pay for themselves and the technology is pretty well developed by this time--plug in hybrids not so much as it is a niche of a niche product.

If you are in that demographic, it might make sense to have an EV. If you ignore the fire risk.
And pretty much everyone in that demographic does have one. For everyone else, it doesn't make sense. And so we don't have one.

Yet, the American public is apparently pretty receptive to being conned. Some of them at least. But not enough.
So the Feds step in and mandate. What was the mandate supposed to do? Make the public less mobile and more controllable. Because a mobile society is difficult to subjugate. Everything else about the EV push is horseshit.

Yes...at home is no problem. But... what about when one travels?
I rented a nice Mercedes plug-in hybrid last month in France, and it took 7+ hours to charge for a grand total of 62 kilometers of range. And it was charging on a high-speed Porsche charging station.
The additional weight of the battery and motors made the car sub-optimal. A larger IC engine would have made it a much better performer.

Chrysler's Plug In Pacifica hybrid is an example--gets about 30-40 miles on electric only and requires about 2 hours charge to replenish that batteries. Enterprise had a few for rental but most people avoided them. Lots of technology teething problems with the Pacifica hybrid as you would expect and that is reflected in reviews.

In part. A lot of it has been the cudgel of state. Governments around the world (and ours wasn't/isn't even the worst of them) pushed it hard and threatened plenty of regulatory action to enforce it. Industry went all-in at the direct prodding of major governments, and hoping for an incentives-and-sales bonanza that only one EV manufacturer has *ever* been able to achieve (Tesla).
And that party is now over, with the manufacturers and the taxpayers holding the bag. The whole thing was manipulation, top to bottom and only one manufacturer considered alternatives. Toyota is going to king of the hill as a result. They alone didn't go all-in on EVs.

Dollars and cents aside, not sure why anyone would consider any kind of EV (BEV, PHEV, HEV), considering the thermal runaway risk for all of them. Not to mention the big decrease in value of the vehicle due to the HV (High Voltage) Battery. Not to also mention the likely totaling of the car after an accident if the HV Battery or Battery Carrier is damaged.
Back in 2008 when Ford came out with the Ford Escape HEV, I calculated that one had to own it for 5 years before you would start saving money on gasoline purchases compared to a gasoline vehicle (since you pay more up front for HEV than gasoline vehicle). Which is where the government tax credit came in to bridge that 5-year wait. With the tax credit gone, I don't see any financial benefit to an HEV.

"When one travels" is one of those use cases for which an EV is just the wrong fit. They are in-town (or at most, near-town) cars. If you need to drive real distance, they're not the right choice.
The biggest difference fundamentally between ICE and EV is that ICE is all things to all men. Economy? You can get it. Power? You can get it. Range? You can get it. EVs are some things to some men.

As a rule I think Throckmorton's morning hateboner for EVs insists on itself, so I don't much comment on such threads, but I agree with this comment.
Definitely EVs pose a problem for multilevel parking garages, which were designed when vehicles were decreasing in mass relative to size. (As SUVs entered the picture, the garages simply repainted the dividers so that SUVs took up more space.)

We are starting to look for a replacement for the wife's Honda CR-V. It's got a couple of years left on it but we are probably going to replace it with a hybrid. So far the Honda CR-V hybrid is the hands down winner. Car and Driver has it as the top rated hybrid SUV for 2025. It's got the best battery warranty at 8 years or 100,000 miles. We rarely put more than 80-90K miles on a car in 10 years so that works fine for us. We are going to give it a year or so and trade hers in on it.

Touchscreen-driven vehicle management solves a major problem, which is "how do I interact with the vast network of configurable devices efficiently?" Everything in a modern car is networked. The switch for the heated seat? Software-controlled on the local network. Blower speed? Software-controlled on the local network. *Everything* is this way now. So to provide customization of all that requires an interface, and it becomes a problem because the temptation - for obvious reasons - is to put *everything* in that lovely, extensible interface.
But that interface requires *attention*, and that is a bad thing in a car. Whoever designed these systems where everything is touchscreen has no regard for reality. Some things really should have dedicated buttons the driver doesn't to look at or think about his interactions.

The logic is actually pretty simple to follow. If you want an electric car as a daily driver, so you would need no gas for your typical short commute, that you can also take on occasional longer trips without having to do the long charging stop thing every three or four hours, you could buy a plug-in hybrid and get the best of both worlds.
I know a fellow who actually bought and drove a Chevy Volt exactly like this, or so he said.
I don't think that an all electric commute would give me enough of an advantage to consider doing that, but it does appeal to some people.

They should be rechargeable efficiently enough overnight without requiring more than residential standard 100 amp service? Perfect for the large number of folks who only need to commute a few miles everyday. And nobody “needs” an F950 Earthfvcker to pick up a loaf of milk and jug of bread at the store or run a few errands.
Of course NHSTA safety standards and myriad other bureaucratic rules and regs would need to be worked around. Lots of retirement and tourist areas they are de rigeur and street legal, more or less.

PHEV are a weird cluster of tech. For example, some of them recharge slightly by regenerative braking but not via the gas engine. Others, dunno if tech has made the market yet, would be essentially gas engine driving a generator which then drives electric motors at the wheels. So the generator in a PHEV situation would then supply the battery which would then supply the wheel motors. Kind of like a isolating UPS for a computer.
But doing that might very well shorten battery life and be more technically complex.
But locomotives have used diesel electric drive since forever so the technique is well known.

In 2014, he publicly urged people not to buy the Fiat 500e, FCA's electric vehicle, stating that each one sold resulted in a loss of approximately $14,000 for the company.
He emphasized that FCA was only producing EVs to comply with U.S. federal and state regulations, particularly California's zero-emission vehicle mandates, and not because they were profitable. Marchionne's stance was that EVs were not a viable business case at the time due to high production costs and insufficient consumer demand without heavy subsidies.

If steam cars didn't take so long to build up a head of steam to go anywhere they might be a valid option too, since we're so fixated on century-old failed technology for cars these days.

Diesel-electric locomotives don't have any "traction" batteries, just regular old cranking batteries like a car or truck. The Diesel must be running for the thing to move. The beauty of the system is that the engineer can apply 100% torque to the drive wheels at zero road speed.
Steam cars (and steam locomotives) fell out of use because poor fuel economy. Thermodynamics dictates that the efficiency of a heat engine is related to delta-T in the working chamber, where T is temperature. Internal combustion gives you a much higher delta-T.

Locomotive diesel electric does not have a battery in the middle (there's a term for it). Don't know why they haven't employed that system on automobiles. One would think it ideal.

Diesel electric locomotives use the electric motors for dynamic braking. The generated braking power from the motors/generators is dissipated through a huge resistor bank that is cooled by fans. Saves the brakes.

No, the point of EVs is to "go green" via emissions reduction at the tailpipe.
In terms of total energy consumption per passenger mile over the life of the vehicle from raw materials through final scrapping, they're worse than ICE vehicles. Plenty of pollution, too. But it doesn't matter, because it's invisible.
The pollution from lithium and cobalt mining, the pollution for the electricity generation, etc. is "over there" somewhere. It's NIMBYism. No emissions where *I* am, therefore "green." Forget the systemic emissions or, far more importantly, the total lifetime energy consumption.
The greenest car you can own is the oldest one you can keep running. The longer you have it on the road, the better the energy equation gets because the huge energy usage in manufacture amortizes out further and further so long as its running - and ICE vehicles have much better longevity.

The reason we mostly drive ICE cars is because that's been the case for 100 years now.
It is possible that EVs will reach parity eventually, but overall they don't make any sense.
But...there is a reason for that, the intent with EVs isn't to replace everyone's ICE car. The intent is to remove as many cars from the road as possible and force plebes into public transit

Same principle can and has been applied to autos--electric motors drive the wheel while supplied by electricity from a generator. The only difference is whether the generator is external to the car (batteries) or internal--has to run gas or oil.
The advantage is that the generator runs at a constant efficient rate and if a battery is the intervening power supply to the wheel motors, then the battery picks up brief demands for acceleration, hills, etc. and during the slack time the battery recharges.
Main problem with that right now is limited recharge cycles on batteries but that is more an engineering and cost problem than an impossibility.

Yep. Home insurance and car insurance premiums go up for home chargers and EVs.
The average annual full-coverage insurance premium for an electric vehicle (EV) was $3,430 in 2024, while it was $2,778 for a traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle.
Other 2024–2025 analyses confirm EVs generally cost 20-44% more to insure than gas vehicles due to higher purchase prices (averaging $55,000–$61,000 vs. $48,000–$49,000), pricier repairs (e.g., $6,066 per accident vs. $4,703 for ICEs), and specialized parts like batteries. However, some sources note the gap is narrowing as EV adoption grows and repair infrastructure improves, with averages as low as ~$1,600 for both in certain datasets.

Euroland has to import about all its oil and diesels were and are more fuel efficient than gas burners at the cost of emitting soot and other byproducts from extremely hot and compressed nature of the diesel combustion. IIRC, NoX emissions are higher and if the fuel had sulfur, that produced more noxious exhaust gasses.
Even in the US, the original CAFE stds. were not about the environment so much but limiting oil imports due to balance of trade issues.
Over time, it morphed into alleged limits on greenhouse gas crap from CO2 emissions. Thus became a tool to kill any carbon based fuel that made economic sense.

We're likely a good 20 years away from a battery source that would be sufficient for an ICE replacement.
There are three main problems: range, charging time, and not bursting into flame. They're making incremental progress on the latter. The latter, in which dendrites pierce the membrane separating anode and cathode and cause a short, is receiving lots of attention, and is, I believe, closer to being solved. Charging time is at least partly related to minimizing dendrites. Range is probably going to be the most intractable. We as a people are impatient. The "throw money at it and it will go away" syndrome is absolutely real.

Has actually led to advances in battery tech. NiMH has been replaced by lithium ion, lithium is likely to be replaced by cheaper sodium ion, and lurking in the background and likely to cause environmentalists to stroke out is nuclear-electric like NASA used for deep state probes.
The key though is cheap energy begets better living which is why we should go into a crash program for nuclear reactors that uses a common template and redundant passive features. And restart using old fuel to breed new fuel as we have about a 50 year backlog of spent fuel rods that can be turned into new reactor fuel and reducing the bulk and cost of waste handling.
France was far smarter about nukes than any of the rest of Western nations and ditto about reprocessing nuclear fuel.

I agree that nothing about EVs makes sense. Not only does their extra weight cause more damage to our highway system (for which they aren’t paying the road tax at the pump), but they cause more damage to other vehicles when involved in an accident. I know this from my recent experience of being sideswiped by a Tesla Y. Damage to it was a small dent on the fender. The whole side of my van had to be replaced. $$$

I think it is more a matter of battery life. Continuously charging a battery while it is discharging introduces heat which can shorten battery life. In part, that is why sodium is becoming the new darling in batteries aside from being cheaper to make. Sodium ion batteries tolerate higher heat than lithium ion which also reduces the risk of thermal run away theoretically.

supposedly yes, and you don't have to mess around with the heavier battery pack. The generator can run more efficiently and the drive train can be much simpler, depending on whether they go with one central electric motor or want to put one in each wheel. I think it is a Prius without the fancy stuff, and Toyota is working on a "solid state" battery that is supposed to be much lighter.

Tractor trailer rigs and heavy trucks actually are the worst for roads and bridges as far as road damage. Whether they are taxed sufficiently to pay for their road damage is debatable and varies state by state. And 80,000 lb loading when a lot of the old roadbeds were engineered for 73k or less in weight also makes a difference.

Catherine also fed some of those rumors herself. For example, she hated her husband, Peter III, whom she had deposed, so she created the rumor that Peter had not been the father of her son Paul, but one of her noble lovers. But Paul looked a lot like Peter as an adult, so it's more than likely that Peter was his father.
Needless to say, Catherine and Paul DID NOT get along.

Wretchard has had some good posts on X about this; you don't accidentally hire someone this legally compromised.

My only prediction for 2026 is that it won't follow normal political gravity. I don't know what that means, to be honest, though. Just that "conventional wisdom" will fail here.
And I don't think anyone has terribly good insight into what's going to happen in November of 2026 right now.
Midterms are weird. They can latch onto national things (the ACA and 2010 is the poster child) or just become confused messes as localization takes hold (I think 2018 is a good example).
Essentially, I predict that 2026 will be between a narrow Democrat win in the House all the way to a 2002 blowout in favor of the governing party (GOP won the overall vote by 5% and expanded the majority by about 15 seats).

The amount of damage is disputed but AI summary says this, "Freight trucks are responsible for approximately 99% of wear-and-tear on U.S. roads, yet they pay only about 35% of the highway maintenance costs, resulting in a significant subsidy estimated at $60 billion annually"

>>Essentially, I predict that 2026 will be between a narrow Democrat win in the House all the way to a 2002 blowout in favor of the governing party (GOP won the overall vote by 5% and expanded the majority by about 15 seats).
I doubt it's going to be a GOP blowout, the Donks will steal a couple of more seats in Cali, Illinois, and New York, Texas redistricting will probably add a couple, some Red States will pick up a couple of Donks seats, I'm predicting all of this offsets and the GOP holds the house with the same slim margin they have now.

I never said, "cash." I strongly implied it - negotiating on price and price alone does that by itself - but I ended up financing it (after reading the fine print) to get the price I wanted. Be open to financing if needed if it gets you the deal you want and you can keep incentives with early payment (that "fine print" thing).

MO just finalized their map this weekend, gov signed it, adding one more.

But...the problem is the funding shortfall. I don't think I'm being too conspiratorial when I say that the Democrat Party has come to rely on the fed grant machine to run everything from outward party apparatus jobs to things like ballot harvesting. If the blow is as large as it seems to be and I think it is...their ability to cheat is going to be reduced. Their ability to create the generalized ecosystem for Democrats will be reduced.
It'll have an effect.

Sure, but the Donks control the voting apparatuses in their respective states with an iron fist, which is how they have been able to whittle down the GOP congressional seats in places like Cali, there are now 9 GOP seats in Cali, they are probably going to swipe five, leaving four, NY is going to probably take 1 or 2, same with Illinois, so they are going to convert anywhere from 8-12 seats, the GOP is going to have to convert Donk seats to match, I think they can do that, but that relies on everything else staying the same, which is not always a good bet.

Yeah, I question this assumption she will be effective. What qualifications does she have for politics other than she is the widow of Charlie Kirk? Was she involved in TPUSA as a political operative at all? Serious questions. I know nothing of her background other than she was Charlie Kirk's wife and a former beauty pageant winner.
Looking up Grok... she began in the entertainment industry as a model, actress, and casting director. She has founded several faith-based initiatives. She also worked as a real estate agent and in 2011 she established the nonprofit "Romanian Angels," which coordinated with NATO and U.S. troops for charity work in Romania.
She seems like she could be a good spokesperson for the movement, but not sure she picks up the baton from all the work that Charlie Kirk had been doing. We'll see.

I used to buy Lexus RX-350 with a somewhat powerful V-6, reliable engine.
Then It happened, we finally needed a new Lexus and what is my choice? CAFE standards dictate a little 4 cylinder, forced to stand on its tiptoes with twine turbos and no reliability.
So I punted and bought a 600 horsepower Tesla, that can stay with a vette up to 125 mph and is reliable. Did I mention it’s fast, hit the go pedal to merge onto I-75 in Florida and those grumpy drivers don’t stand a chance. F those CAFE shitboxes…

Yep. Cue the EV apologists/propagandists.
Did I mention good luck finding a charger where I live?
Posted by: Cow Demon at September 29, 2025 01:14 PM (EL2O4)
That is for his specific circumstances. It wouldn't work out for me because I don't have a situation making it easy to have a charging setup at home. You mileage may vary.
Posted by: Epobirs at September 29, 2025 01:16 PM (/0z9K)
Sure. I had a GF that always "forgot" to charge her phone and that was the reason she kept missing calls or forgot to call back. Luckily I was out of my "nice guy" phase and move on.
People who do not value other people time will always find an excuse to justify why they are late. I believe you know that (or should). Finally, plugging in an EV literally takes seconds. It takes significantly less time than flushing your teeth and millions of drivers in the USA alone can attest to that.
I can't understand why you insist on trashing your reputation by arguing that something that millions of people are doing every day is "not practical".

""When one travels" is one of those use cases for which an EV is just the wrong fit. They are in-town (or at most, near-town) cars. If you need to drive real distance, they're not the right choice."
Do you travel out of state? If so, are you telling me that you have never seen an EV on the road? You have never seen them at rest stops? And one final question, have you seen an EV stuck on the side of the road? I'm willing to bet that none of the cars that you see stuck on the side of the road (for whatever reason) is an ICE vehicle. Prove me wrong.

The three crowns are Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, which were all held by the same dude for a while, and are part of the old Swedish flag (blue field with three gold crowns) before it became the St. Olaf (?) cross. St. Somebody, whosever it is. At least I think that's right.

The flaw in that argument is simply the right to contract which is actually enshrined in the US Constitution. Agree to the contract as a fully functioning adult, then bound by the terms.
FWIW, I find the major problem though with both contracts and the closely related HOA issue is due process. And that is where the state (not feds) through its power should define how contract disputes are handled.
No HOA or corporation can be the judge of who is right in contract disputes--only neutral disinterested third parties and any contract trying to circumvent that should be null and void in any state. In a way, HOA officers can and have been sued as they lack qualified immunity which local and state government officials have, so as far as rectification of outlandish behavior, better an HOA via contracts than a horrible local government.

Ever taken a look at the click through software contracts? They make HOAs look nice and homey.
Some employment contracts and all insurance contracts are like that. Basically if most people actually read contracts in their entirety, like contract lawyers are supposed to, most people would end up being insane over the devilish details in those contracts.
Yet, as I said, the right for functioning adults to make contracts is key if you are discussing individuals having the liberty to make stupid mistakes and be punished for doing so.

Unfortunately, they are explicitly constitutional under the federal Constitution and most state constitutions. Same as other contracts and forbidding the binding nature of private contracts means that all interactions with others is controlled only by government action or purely voluntary performance of agreements.
That is far more scary to me as an individualist--the first is tyranny, the second is anarchy. And no, I don't live in an HOA nor plan to do so. But it is interesting to me as a matter of law and legal theory as how private disputes are regulated.

I lived in such a place. Luckily that county did great on plowing - they had to or people would die in the winter.
If they'd been bad at it, though, I'd have still been trapped in the private roads and unable to access the county roads out.
And we didn't have an HOA - just a few dudes had plowblades, and everyone just paid them in beer and cookies and things. Easy.

Try suing a government official personally for damages. They get qualified immunity AND a backstop of spending taxpayer money to cover illegal actions.
Subsidiarity means governing contracts at the lowest level possible. So teh question is regulation of neighborly relations via HOA or via local government. You often get superior due process rights if you can afford them against 'government blob' but not rectification of tyrannical local government types that have had people arrested for impertinent questions to petty officials.
Individual board members of HOAs do not have qualified immunity and thus easier to sue but inferior due process protections depending on the states for resolution of disputes. Essentially, they are much like local improvement districts where buying into such a property under that improvement district means you follow its rules.

I was watching a historical documentary of the making of the Dixie Highway (US 41) and the state/county ran out of money to finish about an 8 mile segment around Monteagle, TN. So the fine citizens of Monteagle had days where citizens went to work without pay to haul gravel, move dirt, blast, etc. to finish the roadbed for pavement.
Roadbuilding back in the day often required people living on those roads to actually work without pay on them periodically for the benefit of the community. Something similar back in the days of private levees before the Corp of Engineers became king.
Lesson is that you can only do some tasks with strong communities or you turn them over to strong government. People's choice generally.

Artera ea/artwork. (You can read or listen to a conversation between and Editor and Curator regarding this piece.)
It begins, "Editor: So, this is Carl Larsson’s “Flowers on the windowsill”, painted in 1894. It's a watercolour currently housed in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm. It strikes me as a remarkably well-balanced composition. The interior domestic setting creates a serene atmosphere, but how do you see it?
Curator: The composition, indeed, demonstrates a careful arrangement of forms. Note how the verticality of the window panes and the plants in their terracotta pots creates a grid-like structure, against which the curved lines of the child's form and the trailing vines provide a gentle contrast. How do these contrasting forms influence the image's affective qualities?"

Florida state government is actually one of the innovators (for better or worse) in regulating residential contracts.
I am interested to see how communities founded under the 55 plus senior living stipulations end up being pressured when the original property descends on heirs that are below 55. Do they have to sell grandpa's home they are under 55 and plan to live there? What about if they have kids?.
This will become an issue in the near future as property turnover is higher for natural reasons in these senior living communities than regular ones.

Not sure what you mean. Basically local governments used to conscript (not voluntary), folks to work on community projects like roads, levees, etc. Same with improvement districts which simply substituted payment of taxes in lieu of labor conscription to do the same tasks.
If you mean that the HOA did not build a particular house, it gets convoluted as most of these communities start with a developer and allocation of HOA voting rights by lot of property. Thus, the developer contracts with home builders but owns the underlying property until it is sold to the individual. Only then are the developer's HOA voting rights for that plot extinguished in return to the new homeowner to gain it.
So in an sense, the developer which created the HOA and development in the first place did 'build it'.

Houston's older neighborhoods have 'civic associations' that are pretty benign with voluntary dues and few members. I was president of two such clubs when I lived there. First thing I did in both was to eliminate attorney costs. Another thing I did was blow out the participation by offering FEMA flood maps, neighborhood plats, USGS maps and getting group rates for elevation certificates.

Change the storyline to be about UN "peacekeepers" in foreign countries and that would be accurate description.
United Nations peacekeeping missions, intended to protect civilians in conflict zones, have been marred by repeated scandals involving sexual abuse and rape by peacekeepers. These incidents span decades and multiple countries, often targeting vulnerable women and children in impoverished or war-torn areas. [ . . . ] Over 2,000 allegations have been reported globally since 2004, including more than 300 involving children.

After the 13th, they added pay the tax in cash or via labor. Thus not violating the 13th. Or local governments simply mandated you do x at your own expense (such as levees) and maintain them or face fines.

The Morning Report — 9/29/25
And yet despite all of this, I noted that Fetterman has become perhaps the lone voice of reason within the Democrat Party that of late has ceased even the barest of minimum efforts to try and fake even a scintilla of sanity, rationality and reasonableness. His unequivocal support of the State of Israel in the wake of the Islamic mass wave attack of 10/7 stood in sharp contrast of far too many in his party who at best were silent and at worst blamed Israel for having the temerity to exist. Most recently, Fetterman lamented the rise of the in-your-face socialists like this Mamdani cancer that quite likely will completely subsume the party within the next couple of election cycles if it hasn't already. But, while CBD correctly observed that regardless of what is happening, Fetterman has and will always vote whatever way the Democrat party demands. Regardless, his vocal stances on many things make him a huge pain in their ass and so I assume that once his term is up, the Democrat powers that be will try to shove him aside. Pennsylvania being a swing state and primarily due to the malign influence of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh when it comes to election rigging, yet despite this much of the rest of it is seemingly solid MAGA country.
I bring this up merely as a way of getting to the crux of the biscuit, which is the wave of political terrorism that culminated with the assassination of Charlie Kirk. And with that, Fetterman spoke out again.
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) shared a study that showed that left-wing terrorism had reached a “30-year high,” and criticized Democrats for using rhetoric such as “Hitler” or “fascist.” In a post on X, Fetterman included a screenshot of an Axios article titled “Study: Left-wing terrorism climbs to 30-year high.” Fetterman noted that “political violence is always wrong,” and called for everyone to “turn the temperature down.” “Unchecked extreme rhetoric, like labels as Hitler or fascist, will foment more extreme outcomes,” Fetterman said. “Political violence is always wrong — no exceptions.”The article goes on with this
Per Axios, research from the Center for Strategic & International Studies (CSIS) found that during the “first six months of 2025,” far-right violence, which has usually “been more frequent,” had decreased significantly. The CSIS “compiled and analyzed a data set of 750 domestic attacks and plots” that had occurred between January 1, 1994, and July 4, 2025. Researchers found that out of the attacks that occurred since 2016, “left-wing extremists” were responsible for more than 40 of those attacks, while right-wing extremists were responsible for 152 attacks “over the same period”
Thanks to Lumpy for pointing out the Democrat incitement and violence, but as to this study I call total bullshit. What "Far-Right" violence? Where? A) there is no such thing as the far-right. As I and others have stated, the Right-Center-Left paradigm just does not exist. There is only one side that believes in America as founded,the Judeo/Christian Western underpinnings of our nation and society and the primacy of the individual. The other side does not and has spent the better part of 200 years doing all it can to tear that down in its lust for absolute power. In other words, It is the eternal struggle of Good vs Evil. Before the usual Soros trolls can fart out their bullshit, While no doubt every so often a twisted individual may commit an act of violence against a Democrat/Leftist target – Not that I can even find a single confirmed example – it is never sanctioned let alone supported or funded by any GOP and/or conservative political organization and it is immediately denounced and condemned in the loudest most uncertain terms. Compare and contrast to the reactions when the UHC CEO was gunned down in the street, Charlie Kirk and the attempts on President Trump's life. Meanwhile, this insanity happened over the weekend:
The madman who killed at least four people and wounded eight others at a Michigan Latter-day Saints church is a 40-year-old Iraq War veteran who served in the US Marines, The Post can confirm. Thomas Jacob Sanford rammed his Chevy Silverado truck into the building before opening fire on worshipers at a Sunday service at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan. The vehicle had two large American flags behind the cab and a set of deer antlers attached to the bumper. He also set the church ablaze, causing the entire structure to burn down. Authorities fear there may be more victims in the fire. A Facebook post by Sanford’s mother says the gunman — who died at the scene in a shootout with cops — served in Iraq from 2004 to 2008. He was killed minutes after the first 911 call came in. A Department of Natural Resources officer and a local township cop responded in about 30 seconds, authorities said. . . Social media accounts believed to be connected to Sanford show he was a family man, with a wife and young son. . . Meanwhile, detectives are probing whether the mass shooting and fire has any connection to the death of longtime national LDS church president Russel M. Nelson, who died Saturday in Salt Lake City at age 101, according to a source briefed on the investigation who spoke to ABC News.
No doubt the media is working overtime to craft some sort of narrative tying the perpetrator to President Trump, MAGA, "right-wing extremism" etc. etc. ad nauseam.
Prayers up for the victims and all affected by this monstrous incident. Before I go too far afield, the one thing I wanted to note was the long overdue and hopefully excruciatingly painful, messy and drawn out departure from this world to an eternity in the Infernal Reaches of one Joanne Chesimard. Hopefully this bitch is roasting and may anyone who heaps praise on her join her for dinner as soon as possible.
Let’s cut to the chase, the Chicago Teachers’ Union is a domestic terrorist organization that runs the city, extracts massive amounts of tax money for its members while openly preaching violence and hate. It’s the best possible argument for the decentralization and privatization of the so-called public school system. Every time you think CTU has hit the lowest low imaginable, it does something worse. This time it hailed cop-killer Joanne Chesimard aka Assata Shakur, tweeting, “Rest in Power, Rest in Peace, Assata Shakur. Today we honor the life and legacy of a revolutionary fighter, a fierce writer, a revered elder of Black liberation, and a leader of freedom whose spirit continues to live in our struggle. Assata refused to be silenced. She taught us that “It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains.” . . . That quote from the fugitive cop killer, “It is our duty to fight for our freedom” has become a BLM chant It appears in Shakur’s biography just after she indirectly mentions the shootout that killed Trooper Werner Foerster and hails the “guerrillas” of her Black Liberation Army terrorist group. The phrase just before the chant is, “We must gain our liberation by any means necessary”.
God bless the memory of Werner Foerster and the family he left behind who no doubt grieve for him to this day. May they find some measure of comfort that the subhuman animal who took his life is no longer breathing the same oxygen. When President Trump assumed the presidency, one of the things I had hoped he could bring about was the repatriation of Chesimard, either by diplomatic means or if need by via Seal Team 6. The other was a special op to retake the USS Pueblo from North Korea, but I digress. Yes indeed, the CTU and much of academia sadly is a terrorist organization and training camp, having poisoned the minds of several successive generations of American school kids to hate their country, heritage, family and ultimately themselves. That is what ultimately created the likes of Chesimard, Mangione, Charlie Kirk's assassin and on and on and on. The CTU is by no means alone in its praising of this evil cvnt now roasting in hell.
In the days since her death, numerous prominent Left-wing organizations and personalities have predictably issued statements honoring her criminal legacy as a symbol of brave resistance against racial injustice and imperialism, blah blah blah. . . . . . This outpouring of veneration for a cold-blooded terrorist is disgusting, but what can you expect from today’s Democrat Party? The Left is and always has been, from the French Revolution forward to today, a political movement that rabidly embraces revolutionary violence, including murder and assassination. In the modern era you can add a vicious strain of anti-white racism to their lust for violence.And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know. Have a good day!

Right-wing terrorism as used in this analysis includes
incidents motivated by ideas of racial or ethnic supremacy; opposition to government authority, believing it is tyrannical and illegitimate; misogyny, including incels;
hatred based on sexuality or gender identity; belief in
the QAnon conspiracy theory; opposition to abortion; or
partisan extremism.
Notice that Right Wing terrorism seems very close to the ideas of many mainstream Christian Religions around the time Bill Clinton was in office.

This is a common theme of Black Lives (Really Don't) Matter that there is a fight (violence) required for black people to gain more rights.
I argue that the real fight is in the medical system that have black women deaths at 3x white women in pregnancy and childbirth and the fact the public education has discarded millions of kids as uneducable.

This would have given the north voting power, so Missouri was added as a slave state even though it was above the line. This is known as the Missouri Compromise.
Shortly hereafter, the LDS people moved to Jackson and Clay County Missouri and bought land. This threatened the voting power of Missouri ans
Also, the LDS produced pamphlets against slavery. Mobs raided homes and eventually, Gov. Lilburn W. Boggs wrote out an extermination order against the Mormon people. --->

A Facebook post by Sanford’s mother says the gunman — who died at the scene in a shootout with cops — served in Iraq from 2004 to 2008.
I fear we may have a recrudescence of that favorite Hollywood trope: the crazed Vietnam veteran.
I thought I saw a comment somewhere that Sanford had PTSD. But was he in a role where he was having things propelled at him or, like 85-90% of forces, was he in a support role? Nowadays, the term PTSD gets used for the most ridiculous things. Like, having the wrong pronouns used.

This brief defines left-wing terrorism as that which is
motivated by an opposition to capitalism, imperialism,
or colonialism; black nationalism; support for LGBTQ+ rights; support for environmental causes or animal rights; adherence to pro-communist, pro-socialist beliefs or “anti-fascist” rhetoric; opposition to government authority under the belief it is a tool of oppression responsible for social injustices; support for decentralized political and social systems, such as anarchism; or partisan extremism, where violence is justified against political opponents and
parties perceived as advancing right-wing agendas.

Their Prophet was murdered in a Carthage jail in 1844 along with his brother by a mob of men with painted faces.
This led to the great pioneer movement to the Rocky mountains in 1847.

Yet in the passing of a "liberation fighter", we read "It is our duty to fight for our freedom."
I'm curious as to what they mean by the word "freedom". I get the fighting part - they are enchanted with chaos, death and misery; I'm wondering if the use of the trigger word "Freedom" is just a noise that generally solicits thoughts of approval.
Some new Charlie Kirk emboldened chick wore a bright read "Freedom" shirt and claims on X to be accosted and treated rudely by some members of the public because the shirt also had "Charlie Kirk" written on it.
If it is noble to fight for "Freedom", why is some Freedom more noble than others, and who gets to choose?

Retribution: "Punishment that is considered to be morally right and fully deserved".
That is, Retribution is a form of justice that specifically seeks out "just deserts" - the offender is penalized in proportion to the severity of the wrong doing.
Retribution, in this case would be ideal to "justice" since "justice" would likely totally ignore the social damage that took place from what is a little beyond a process crime. Comey with black letter justice would walk because his case is in Virginia - a communist state.
Retribution would put him to death. That ain't gonna happen.

It is not the actions of a side that knows it is winning. There will be more violence.
They have been told for 60+ years that they are "on the right side of history."
That, inevitably, they will always win. And they have never had losses like this.
Not Reagan, not the Gingrich Revolution, none of that comes close to what they are facing now:
It's not just the loss of funding, or the prospect of clean voter rolls, or even the 6-3 at the SCOTUS.
No, what has them in death wails is that they are losing their most valued asset--legitimacy.
They are not seen as the "good" party, the "right side of history," or moral or any of that.
And even worse, they are not cool anymore.
That really, really stings.
The sole reason for the "A/V Club" and "theater" kids going into politics was finally a chance to be cool.

Video shows Oregon police recovering a large stash of stolen baby formula from a woman arrested for theft this week.
Authorities say she stole $1,291 worth of formula from Walmart—and just before that, two cartloads worth $5,858 from the Target across the street. In total, she made off with $7,149 in stolen baby formula.
Look closely—in the car, she also had a fake sign her husband used while begging on the street, invoking Jesus to trick good Christians into giving him money.

For me, the fact the question is posed at all explodes the entire political paradigm of our time, re-establishing our political conflicts securely on the grounds of psychopathy. That those who embraced the 10-year war of revenge on Donald Trump for his audacity in defeating Hillary Clinton -- a scorched earth, lawfare/slander campaign of personal destruction unlike anything seen in modern history -- would even invoke a charge of "retribution" and moreover one involving a palpably corrupt pissant like Comey accused of a crime he committed under sworn, recorded testimony -- confirms that we're dealing with mentally ill and very dangerous people. Politics and the entire world of meaning it entails and as we have known throughout our history is over, gone, dead.
We need to reckon with a whole new psychopathic reality -- certainly not new to history but new to us.

Serena Williams called out for having cotton sculpture in her own home; after complaining about cotton decoration in a luxury hotel.
The tennis star went viral for picking a piece of cotton off a plant decoration in her 5 star NYC hotel while saying “it doesn’t feel great”- appearing to suggest it evoked slavery.
Now, a resurfaced image from William’s own home reveals she has a sculpture of a donkey featuring a mound of cotton.

Play it through... if they did that, someone on the Right would immediately sue to keep him off the ballot. That case would quickly come before the Supreme Court. Does anyone here think that Court would vote to remove the Democrat nominee from the race with mere months before the election? Pigs would fly before that happened.
No, our nine Supreme Haruspices would retreat to their chambers, cut open a sheep's liver, read the penumbras that emanate, and declare that, because of Trump, noncitizens are eligible to run for President. And thus would begin the auspicious reign of President Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

A 'new' movie called Starfighter*is in the works, filming has started, in which this Force sensitive boy gets trained by Rey. Yeah, the character who did not have to learn anything from Luke Skywalker trying to train someone.
Now there are rumors that once again they are raiding the Extended Universe, the mass of books and such that Disney declared anathema years ago. We have already seen Thrawn, Extended Universe yo, being used as a MacGuffin. This new rumor is that Luke's wife, Mara Jade - The Emperor's Hand and a Jedi herself, is going to send her son to get trained by Rey. Really?
*Starfighter? Alex Rogan and his Gunstar might object. So to Lockheed and their F-104. About being defamed, I think.

I think you could label the pro-life actions in the 90s as "right wing violence". But that was mostly in the 90s and the government crushed the pro-life movement over it.
Yes the legal side still exists and won a big victory with the repeal of R v W, but the protest movement is a shadow of what it once was. Back in the 90s Operation Rescue was the biggest protest movement in America. They had nothing to do with the killings of abortionists that happened at the same time but the government destroyed them none the less.
So what we need here is to treat Antifa like the Dems/GOPe treated the pro-life movement. Destroy it. Put people in jail. Making funding them a crime. Create a new FACE for Antifa.
And here's the thing, there were a handful of poorly organized people then. There are thousands of highly organized members of Antifa getting funding from the government, big corporations, and foreign nations.

The left is faking confusion over this, outraged that the SCOTUS isn't "reining him in."
1) that's not the job of the courts. They are co-equal branches. They still don't understand the implications of Roberts' line in the tranny case, that they don't decide the politics, only the Constitution.
2) maybe they should ask why the lower courts are now 0-20 on deciding what the Constitution says.
3) Rich Easan, the Rat King of their lawfare for the last 10 years, was opining confidently over the weekend that he thinks they will keep birthright citizenship.
Son, you've only ever won in rigged games; courts and jurisdictions stacked with Dems.
Now that it's almost fair, you've lost 20 in a row.

Nobody won except the bookies.
Well if you had a straight up bet with a bookie. But that's not the way it works. There is a line that has to be followed. Green Bay was the favorite to win the game so to make it more even a point spread line is given. Green Bay was a 6 and a half point favorite. So before the game even started Dallas was up +6.5. points. Green Bay was -6.5 points. Green Bay did not cover the spread. If you took Dallas you won. In order for Green Bay to win they had to beat Dallas by 7 points. That did not happen.

2019, now U.S. Senator Fetterman (PA-D) and his wife met with & shared some political goals, among them criminal justice and prison reform, with then Kim Kardashian West. (The West is gone.) In particular, they met and discussed the case of David Sheppard, who was featured in the 2020 documentary KKW: The Justice Project. (Kardashian West also met with PDT 2018 - 2020 regarding such reforms.)
In April 2025, he and Senator Justice (R-WV) introduced bipartisan legislation called the BOP SCAN Mail Act. It would require the Bureau of Prisons to implement digital scanning of mail to present fentanyl & other drugs from entering BOP (federal) facilities.
Saw him with Maria Bartiromo on TV yesterday AM. See for one The Daily Beast, "The senator is one of the most sympathetic Democratic members towards the GOP."
Updated Mon, September 29, 2025
I think he actually benefits both political parties. There are always the few - now the very few - who will hold to their generally unshakable demeanors & moderate opinions in the U.S. Senate - until they can't.
His 1st term with the U.S. Senate ends 2028. Hoping his health and family sustain him.

The prohibition on coffee and tea is not explicitly about caffeine but is often understood to include it, leading to varied personal interpretations among members. Some Mormons avoid all caffeinated beverages, including sodas and energy drinks, while others consume these without issue, as the church has not issued an official stance banning caffeine itself. In 2012, the church clarified on its website that "the church does not prohibit the use of caffeine," specifically addressing misconceptions about cola drinks, but it maintains the restriction on coffee and tea.
A 2019 update to the New Era magazine reiterated that coffee and tea are against the Word of Wisdom, regardless of caffeine content, suggesting the prohibition is tied to the substances themselves rather than just caffeine.

I decided to stay in the room while they were having their meeting and heard them talk about the restrictions of the religion. When I found out caffeine was forbidden, I was out. At the time, I drank probably 4-6 cans of Mt. Dew per day.
Granted, I was never seriously considering it at all, having been raised Catholic. The whole LDS religion seemed ridiculous to me in comparison.
Ironically, over the past 20 years, I have grown to see all religions as ridiculous and am basically agnostic now.

Daily Tech News 29 September 2025
Top Story
- Intel plans production of its next-gen Panther Lake laptop chips starting in Q1 of next year on its brand new 18A (1.8nm) process node. (WCCFTech)
Chips take a good six months to make it from production start to consumer devices on store shelves, so expect these to appear in laptops in late Q3 next year.
Panther Lake will offer up to 4 performance cores, which is... Not a lot. They will pair these with up to 8 efficiency cores and 4 low-power cores, but at the moment all the models except the fastest are looking pretty anemic.
Tech News
- AMD's Strix Halo CPU has a 40 core graphics chip paired with two much smaller 8 core CPU chiplets. But those 8 core chiplets are different from the 8 core chiplets used in all socket AM4 and AM5 CPUs. (WCCFTech)
All multi-die AMD CPUs use Infinity Fabric over a high-speed serial link to wire things together. This limits the memory bandwidth for a single consumer CPU chiplet to a fair bit less than fast DDR5 RAM can offer.
Except for Strix Halo, where the 16 CPU cores have twice the write bandwidth of a 16 core 9950X.
That's because it doesn't a serial bus of any kind to connect the chiplets; the CPU dies are placed directly adjacent to the GPU die and the gap is bridged by a direct parallel connection over an advanced multilayer substrate from TSMC.
We'll have to wait and see what happens with Zen 6 next year, but it's interesting that AMD was willing to spend the money on a different CPU chiplet just for Strix Halo.
- Looking for a new switch? Want two 400Gb ports, two 200Gb, eight 50Gb, and a 10GB management port? Think that would be wildly expensive? $1295 from Mikrotik. (Serve the Home)
Which is still a lot for a home network switch - gigabit switches are so cheap these days you find them as toys in the better brands of breakfast cereal - but networking is one of the few places where you can get 20x the speed for not even 20x the cost, rather than prices shooting straight into the ionosphere.
- Asus will be releasing a fix for its stuttering gaming laptops. (Hot Hardware)
Real soon now.
- Got a shipping notice for my Beelink Me Mini, a little under three days after I placed the order. Which is quite a bit less than the 30-35 days quoted by the site, even in knot math.
Mathematical Interlude
If you read that story the other day about knotting numbers and said, basically, as I did, huh?, here it is physically demonstrated.
Two conjectures - unproven, but previously considered very likely to be true - said that combining two knots of a known complexity would produce a combined knot with a complexity neither less nor more than the sum of the complexity of the two individual knots.
Here Matt physically combines two knots each with a complexity of 3, and shows the combined knot has a complexity of 5.
The procedure is actually a little complicated which explains why this sat unnoticed until someone could write a Python program to try out all the possible permutations, but once you know how to do it, still simple enough to prove the counterexample really works.

Swiss voters narrowly approve plan for electronic ID cards
With all votes counted, 50.4% of those who voted said yes to the proposal, while 49.6% rejected it. ... It was Switzerland's second vote on digital IDs. An earlier proposal was rejected in 2021, amid concerns the data would be held centrally, and controlled largely by private providers. ... Sunday's revised proposal keeps the system in government hands. Data will be stored only on the smartphones of individual users, and digital IDs will be optional.

I believe AMD sees Strix Halo as the future, especially using it for a console-like gaming system and personal, on-device, AI in a small unit.
Nvidia seems to see the same thing with their ARM-based DGX Spark, and teaming up with Intel to make their own competitive APU,
It’s seems like the Mini-PC form factor with APUs that use lots of bandwidth between system components, while packed with as much RAM as possible, is where PCs are heading over the next decade to keep up with the advancement of graphics (true ray & path tracing) and AI getting more advanced and capable.
I think AMD is making a good bet here, so it was worth it to spend that money on an APU they’ve wanted to build for a long time, but now it’s actually possible with TSMC’s tech innovations.

Our financial service provider, through whom we receive students' tuition payments, says that we need to "link" them to our bank account through which the payments proceed after they have been received. And by "link", they mean provide them access to our accounts' transactions and bank statements, all to assist their efforts to "audit our fiscal health". Ha!
If you don't want ohr business, then why didn't you just say so?

A group of mathematicians used grant money to devise and patent knots. Not much of a research setup but they tried to be exhaustive.

I await the knotting analogue of the plague of bottom feeders that attempted to patent algorithms in the IT sector a couple of decades back.
Imagine having a patent on the surgeon's knot, for example. Licensing gold, Jerry! Gold!

You’d think they have a clue but it’s obvious just from the trailer that they’re still living in 2022, because DiCaprio gets yelled at by his on-screen daughter over “They/Them” usage.
I’ll probably never watch this flick but who knows, I may get bored and check it out in a year or two, just to see Hollywood turn violent leftist radicals into relatable heroes for the n-th time.

Sunday Overnight Open Thread - September 28, 2025 [Doof]
Quote of the Day Scott Jennings
No responsibility for the radicalization on the left that’s causing this violent outbreak... So it’s Trump’s fault? I want you to understand that we are in the middle of an epidemic of left-wing violence. They’re attacking ICE. They shot Charlie. It’s happening all over the country. We have these free Palestine people running around trying to burn down the Pennsylvania governor’s mansion, on and on and on. It’s not Trump’s fault that the left has radicalized to the point of saying, we’re done talking and we’re gonna start shooting.
For many children, the idea of surgery is scary. But one doctor in Brazil has found a heartwarming way to turn fear into courage — by letting his young patients enter the operating room dressed as superheroes. Dr. Leandro B. Guimarães, an ear, nose, and throat specialist, began this practice after a difficult moment with a little girl named Allana. Just two years old, she cried uncontrollably as he carried her toward the operating room. That day, he made himself a promise: no child would ever go into surgery in tears again. “I let the child choose which one they want to wear,” Guimarães explained. “I tell them we will go in ‘flying’ or running and that we are going to clear their nose and ears. I enter the surgical room when they are ready and engaged in the game.” He even encourages parents to join if a child is still nervous. The goal is always the same — to make the experience calmer, lighter, and a little bit magical. The doctor records the joyful entrances, sometimes running alongside kids dressed as Batman, Spider-Man, or Wonder Woman, and shares the videos with parents. “They love it because they can show their children how brave they were!” he said.Check out the whole thing.
If you’ve been saving your fingernail clippings and need some quick money, you should consider selling them as traditional medicine ingredients in China. Fingernail clippings are usually discarded as disgusting pieces of trash, but according to Chinese traditional medicine, they are valuable ingredients in concoctions used to treat conditions like abdominal distension in children and tonsillitis. Companies producing traditional Chinese medicine reportedly purchase fingernail clippings from schools and villages, which they then wash thoroughly before drying and grinding them into a fine powder that gets mixed into various medicinal products. Because human adults only grow about 100 grams of fingernails per year on average, collecting enough to keep up with demand is a difficult task and the price of clippings is relatively high. *** And before you even think about it, no, you can’t sell your toenails. Fingernail processor make it very clear that they check their stock very carefully and toenails are not accepted.
The Palm Room evolved over decades, reflecting each administration’s style. In the 1960s, Lady Bird Johnson leaned into the garden vibe, adding treillage wallpaper (a chic faux-lattice design) on the side walls and hanging flower baskets, echoing her passion for beautification projects like wildflower-planted highway medians. Nancy Reagan’s 1980s touch brought gray slate tiles, sleek benches, and more palms, balancing sophistication with greenery. The Bushes kept things low-key (save for adorable photos of their dog Millie), while the Clintons and Obamas leaned rustic with distressed wooden tables and Michelle Obama’s addition of chrysanthemum-filled baskets for a cozy, lived-in feel.
On September 23, 2025, President Trump unveiled the revamped Palm Room via Truth Social, proclaiming, “New lobby leading to Oval Office—Magnificent marble floor, compliments of President Donald J. Trump!” Designed by Tham Kannalikham, Melania Trump’s trusted interior designer for both presidential terms, the renovation channels the opulent aesthetic for which the Trump’s are known. Gone are the gray slate tiles, replaced by gleaming white marble floors, possibly sourced from Alabama, reflecting Trump’s penchant for luxurious materials. The subtle light fixtures? Swapped for dazzling crystal chandeliers that scream glam. Stark white walls amplify the brightness, while the Brumidi frescoes and treillage wallpaper remain untouched, anchoring the space in its historical roots. The elaborate chandeliers are a mystery—no brand or supplier has been confirmed, though speculation suggests they could be custom-made, possibly from a high-end vendor tied to Trump’s Palm Beach properties. Most potted palms and benches are currently MIA, however the White House hints at their return to soften the sleek vibe. Privately funded by Trump and “patriot donors”.
Reactions are polarized, of course. Personally, I’m obsessed with the marble floor—it’s a bold, timeless statement. The chandeliers add undeniable glamour, and the preserved mid-century treillage wallpaper (a Southern design staple seeing a 2025 resurgence) keeps things sophisticated. I’m hopeful the promised return of greenery will balance the dazzle, and I’d love to see benches with a glam Chinoiserie flair over generic glitz. Something like this:
What’s Your Verdict? Is this a sparkling triumph or a soulless hotel lobby? Let me know your thoughts, and I’ll keep digging for any updates on those elusive chandeliers should a foyer lobby renovation be in your future! ------ Thanks, Piper - needs more elbows, though.

Kinda of classic Turk.

I grew up in a block of early 20th century brick double homes. Every house had a small front yard. After high school I bought a Starcraft runabout, backed the trailer onto the front yard, and chained it to the brick column at the porch corner. The lady next door said it gave the neighborhood a resort look.

Can you be my neighbor? I live in a lake community, or maybe "commune" as in hippy commune because the men who wanted to hunt and fish out here built their homes. When they died, their spouse and then later the children inherited the property and treated the land as a landfill for their junk. One property here has rusting out motorcycles, cars and other machinery clearly visible from the road. Another has a trailer that has black mold and tree damage to it.
I tell people to go past the junkyard, the landfill and the crack house then turn left past the burned out shack and rusting boat and trailer, after the dilapidated fence look for .... then describe my property which is always Home & Garden photo essay ready.

I'm here in suburban Birmingham, on the last leg of my trip back to Da Swamp. Many thanks to those who had advice for me on the Tech Thread this morning.
I'm beginning to think that what I'll have to do is zero in on an area where I want to live, fly there and look it over, and then go back, put my stuff in storage, return to the new place, and rent for a while. Thus I can look around. This method would allow me to rent in a larger town than I really want, while I check out the surrounding communities. I resent the costs involved in the storage and the renting, none of which will go toward the purchase of the house; but it begins to look like I have to do just that.
I'm tired and depressed. The whole business seems somehow insurmountable right now . . . and I'd thought checking out Evansville and Owensboro would be a huge step forward in my plans.

Because people act like savages and wild animals when you don't have HOA Karen harassing them.
In the city, there are allegedly noise ordinances, and HOA keeps people from putting two hundred neon colored ping pong balls on stakes throughout the front yard, or raising chickens and row crops between the house and the road.
I'm out in the sticks where everyone has some acreage but that extra land leads them to think that they are on a deserted island. Neighbors on both sides each have kennels of feral high energy dogs that only eat, bark, shit and bark (they don't sleep, they bark).
I long for an HOA and HOA Karen to harass them into moving.

Renting for a few months in a new potential location is a good idea. I've relocated to an entirely new, unknown location four times as an adult and always initially rented. I never regretted the time I spent renting, as it let me get more familiar with the areas and make better decisions about where I wanted to buy. In one case, I wound up only staying in the area six months, but that departure was job-related, not housing. I was grateful I was renting and didn't need to sell a house, or stay in a bad job situation.
Have you considered taking a more extended road trip and covering more ground, to look at more, different areas before focusing on one or two?

Our developers came up with a self serving association years after they had the subdivision approved. We got together and sued them, the township, and the county. Ended up with a settlement that got our roads up to snuff and a requirement that we file our own owners association. I wrote it with our lawyer. It basically says the association will take care of the roads. You do what you want with your property.

They could be parting out air-craft carriers and nobody would know.
That is the way it should be. There does seem to be a strong correlation of people who hate HOAs but are also the very reason why HOAs exist.

Why not move more west or central Louisiana like DeRidder or Alexandria area. Lafayette is a great city. Then you wouldn’t have the hassle out all the admin stuff you have to do when moving out of state.

I liked the bars, the Englehard 100 ounce bars make an impressive paperweight. I sold the second to last one exactly when spot last hit 48 bucks. Almost 5 grand in crisp 100s. I actually thought silver was going to go higher, but as the saying goes nobody ever went broke taking a profit. I can’t recall what the cost basis was, but it seemed like a reasonable thing to do.
The one big mistake I see is people talk about “investing” in gold or silver. They are not investments, they are much closer to currency speculation. An alternative to saving dollars. In that sense they performed perfectly.

You are missing the point. Or maybe that is it. Civilized people organize HOAs, feral people with zero respect for anybody and a particular exhibition of utter contempt and hatred for their neighbors live outside them.
Its weird. I grew up in a lake community of GM executives, later a semi-rural community where people took pride in their homes and properties - none were HOAs., just normal people who weren't utter slobs and reprobates. Then three different suburban communities where HOA membership was optional (to use the common areas like tennis courts and pools) but wasn't a problem.
The last was turning into a problem as one neighbor was an active drug dealer (parents eventually threw him out) and another collected junk cars and frequently left his rusting hulk treasures parked out in the street for months on end.

- developer owned lots were worth four votes and exempt from assessments.
- developer was exempt from all rules.
IOW - you pay the developer whatever they want $$$ when they finish out your new home and you'll get whatever you can afford. Otherwise you get nothing. And never will. At least until they they sell off 80% of the lots.

Most everyone agrees that to live in a society one must surrender part of his or her desires and freedom to do whatever necessary to be acceptable and fit within that society.
The sticking point is whether that is best moderated by history, culture and interpersonal relations, or if it is best moderated by a bunch of your neighbors who got power over your actions and what you do with your own land because they had nothing better to do and they like having the power to control others for their own good

I hear you. I know people who live in the HOAs where H stands for Hell and A means Asshole. Because they won't let people lift the hood on the car if in any way it is visible to the street. All homes must fit within a very tiny band of acceptable earth tone colors. No car on the street more than eight hours. No use of gasoline powered yard tools EVER. Only small children friendly penants can be on display for no more than a week and fines go out if the colors are in any way faded. Christmas lights must be approved by the board and installed professionally and removed by the First weekend in January.
Its like Mother May I for the Damned. I just don't want my neighbor burning his car in his front yard. Is that too much to ask?

I have no idea why she moved to Maine other than Covid and she hated her job here. She is from South America and never saw ice that didn't come from the store before she was 21. Maine is slightly nicer than a dairy farm in North Dakota, I admit that. I met a Cuban who wound up working on a dairy farm in North Dakota. I think he was insane.

Distance though is better than fences . The closer the neighbor the more likely problems to occur without ‘rules’ .

When I was looking at my first house we were walking through with the real estate person. Somebody did a killer burnout a block over as she was talking about the neighborhood (lol). I remembered seeing a house on the next block with a race car trailer and a car in the driveway. I put it together that he must have gave it a test. The real estate agent look concerned. I said not exactly a quiet neighborhood I see. She looked almost frozen. I said, "I'm going to like it here". You could see color returning to her face. lol

HOA moved into my neighborhood and said that my travel trailer could not be parked on the side street. (I lived on the corner) I moved the trailer to the driveway. HOA said that it could not be parked in the driveway. So, I made a bigger gate and moved the trailer into the back yard next to the garage. Nah ah, we can see that trailer from the street, no good.
I sold the house to Guatemalans.

Well, if my neighbor wanted to burn a car in his front yard, I would offer him a few bucks to take it off his hands, and then I would salvage whatever parts I thought might be worth saving, and render the rest down for scrap. Could be a C-note in scrap value there. But If he insisted on burning it, I'd come up with a lawn chair and a cooler of beer.

Hey Mikey, I was going to respond to you on the other thread...I can identify, a lot.
Hoped to make it to TX but events and health issues intrude.
Had to leave Dad last Nov 8, he went septic at the rehab facility and was just sent back to the hosp. But Jules said she was sick, I needed to come home.
Got home and took her right to the ER. While waiting for a room there J went code blue. Then she got a room pretty quick.
Turned out it was severe septic shock, due to a perforated ulcer, causing multiple organ failures. Just wow, after a week in a medically induced coma, on life support, she is transferred to a larger hosp.
And it goes on from there. Jules lived thru 49 days of hosp, 10 days of rehab and came home Jan 8, 2 months to the day. Still recovering to this day.
Kept track of Dad, got him into a better place that was actually run by a friend of his. But the hosp had let a bedsore develop, which got worse at the first rehab. Went into hospice in Dec and died May 29.
I'm rambling, but point is if you think you have it bad, there's someone else who has it worse. I got thru this, you can too.

I live in northeast PA. When I retired 10 years ago we bought a little camp on a lake above Bangor ME. I've found that our NEPA winters are often more severe than our place in Maine. The average temp in Maine is slightly colder but the proximity to the coast keeps it moderate where here in PA we get spells that don't get much above 20F.

Backup lamp cable is connected, as is neutral safety cable. And I took the dash ground off the brake booster, spliced (crimped and soldered) on an extension, and screwed it to the engine block. Huge improvement. RH signal telltale comes on when parking lamps illuminated; that means there is a bad ground at the RH park lamp socket, an easy fix.
Looks like I am go for putting the new transmission in there now.

In another life I was a 12B deployed and on the QRF.
We got the call and I sent to the AF rec tent to gather up one of the squad mates.
Full battle rattle, M-249 tucked under arm and baseload (600 rounds in three drums), and two cans of demo in the left hand, I walked briskly up to the door. Pushed it open with the right hand and walked up, "Govea, you got a job to do..."
Govea signs, "Oh, man..." Gets up and heads out door..
As I walk to the front door some AF SGT says,
"The door. Opens. The other way."
LOL, it opens both ways now

Today we honor the life and legacy of a revolutionary fighter, a fierce writer, a revered elder of Black liberation, and a leader of freedom whose spirit continues to live in our struggle.
Assata refused to be silenced. She taught us that “It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains.”

My crusts are not bad at all, but I'm looking for a flaky result similar to the better professional stuff I see around here from bakeries. Varies a bit but my issue is my crusts are just a bit too tough or chewy, vs. flaky. For my taste/ambitions, anyway. Everybody has praised the pies I've made.

Super simple.
For two crusts (top and bottom):
2 C flour
2/3 C shortening (could be lard if you wish)
1 t. salt
1/3 C cold water
Blend the flour and shortening and salt until it is crumbly. Use a pastry blender or pulse it in a food processor. Add the water. To be sure it will work, add another T of water, just in case the flour is dry. Mix it with a fork for a very few turns. Gob it together with your hands. Divide in two and roll.
Flour can be fussy depending upon where it comes from. It can be drier or not, so the water determines how well it will hold together and roll. The dryer you can make it hold together, the more flaky, but wetter works too.
Make sure the oven is 450 or more for 15 minutes and then bake as usual until the filling is done. I brush the top with milk and sprinkle with sugar, because it browns better, but you don't have to.

It's not just the direct violence from antifa, lone loons, and unbalanced adjuncts/lawyers/karens/fat rage-boomers. It's also the overlapping attacks on our civilization from the illegal-immigration enablers and the de-policing/revolving door enablers.
Far, far more people are killed, maimed, or raped by those efforts than by what are normally considered the direct political attacks. But the quantities involved really make the antifa stuff a sideshow, while the big picture stuff is no less deliberate - just more indiscriminate.
Just had someone in my own circle murdered by someone that had no business being here in the first place, and THEN should have been deported after the first felony. Totally senseless, with a bunch of lives shattered because some fucking inbred third worlder can't manage to act human - and because of a long chain of prog enablers. Fuck all of them; if they actually ended up stuffed into the hyperbolic camps they're crying about, I wouldn't lift a finger for them.

They really can't see it in the sense you mean, here. What is "right" is by definition what they say or want, because they are good, and all who oppose them are evil. It's as simple as that. They don't have differing criteria; their entire concept of what truth and good means is fundamentally and forever incompatible with yours - it's all about the world revolving around them. You are expected to join, or die... or join *and* die if it suits their whim.
They don't need to fuck off so much as occupy any place other than as our countrymen. Even if that place is at the bottom of a hole. But for now the long unmasking continues as normies realize what is up. The longer this goes, the more join Team Hole.

I think at this point it is just RIF, so either quit or get fired. Elon offered the buy out twice, I believe, and if you didn't figure it out by then, well, SOL.
I friended Elon on Facebook this week. He asked how I was doing. I told him I was fine, growing veggies and putting up food for the winter, and I thanked him for his service.
Honestly, no better deal than what I got.

I recall some months ago, it was unnerving to stumble across a photo of a grown man with a hip-hop macho vibe, giving the classic "anime chick" pose of leaning forward and flashing a V-sign. Maybe it was one of Bad Bunny's homies, the caption wasn't clear, but then he was the one wearing pajama bottoms. It was all very gay, but in "look what they're making us do" kind of way that almost made me feel bad for them.

Looks like the NC guy had been seriously mentally ill for some while. It also appears that that may have been a consequence of war experiences/wounds.
But those are just possibilities based on press reports. Whatever, he was not a stable person, and his action was clearly that of an unwell person.

No, it doesn't excuse anything. People who are mentally ill are quite aware of it, and when they refuse to get help, they inflict their illness on everyone else, whether they decide to shoot up a church or just be a general giver of chaos to their relatives.

If you had kept 10 of those silver dimes for another 10 years and invested their face value ($1.00) in the first index fund - VFINX, in 1976 - you would have $41.76 today, instead of $33.30.

Go to your next local gun show, find the booth selling survivalist "first aid" supplies and pick up a 10 inch hemostat... On second thought, since I don't know your size, make that 14", better too much than not enough.
The right tool for the job.
Using a mirror and a flouroscope, ignoring the cramping sensation, just grab that little bugger with the hemostat and yank it out of there. Unless you're a dental technician, practice using the mirror first.

This week's episode - Counterfeit!
FUNdamentals of MoMe'n: TXMoMe X
They Mome'n down in Texas!
We are implementing a change regarding the safety briefing and range access this year. The daily mandatory safety briefings are really mandatory now if you plan on shooting each day. Without exception. These will be conducted on the carport at 10am on Friday and 9am on Saturday. Due to the growth of the shooting programs, at the conclusion of the safety briefing you will be asked to sign a liability release form and only then be issued a color coded wrist band for the day. The wrist band is your ticket onto the ranges. No wrist band, no range access. If you visit the bar during the day, you remove the wrist band. Simple. For those who miss the mandatory briefings in the morning, we will attempt to accommodate with a secondary briefing sometime after lunch for late arrivals to sign the release and be issued a wrist band for that day. RSO's - I will be sending a follow-up email to you soon.

Help! As I mentioned above, the shooting program in Texas continues to grow, and we wouldn't be able to do it without a lot of help. If you're interested in lending a hand in some capacity, please drop me a note at gunthread at protonmail dot com indicating your date and time of arrival and we'll be in touch. Thank You! If you are attending the TXMoMe this year, and all the cool kids are, please keep an eye on this section for important information and updates in the coming weeks! I also want to reiterate the TXMoMe is not a gun thing with some socializing attached, but rather is a social thing with some shooting attached. If you aren't a shooter, I guarantee you will not feel out of place and will have a great time. No fooling! Are all y'all getting excited? Weasel are!!

Had a squib for the first time in my life yesterday.
.357 magnum in a Taurus Tracker 4" barrel that's ported at the end of the barrel.
I knew it was a squib by the anemic pop. With it being so anemic, the bullet was traveling so slow that when it got to the porting, it lost all back pressure.
It wound up half in and half out of the barrel. It was fun trying to find stuff small enough to fit down the barrel to tap it out far enough so I could grab it with pliers.

I, of course, was a non-conformist, putting my Carcano Moschetto through its paces. Kind of cool having the pew pew around me (the AR was suppressed) and then I'd let loose with a full-powered cartridge. I set up some water jugs and one went airborne.

I have brass dowels sized for different bores to do just that, only for rifles length.
Wood dowels can mushroom at the end under pounding and make a bigger mess of the bore when pounding obstructions out.
Rare you need such things as noted but when you do, you need them badly to save a trip to the gunsmith.

No. Had there been no ports, it would have popped out maybe 5 feet. With the porting, it lost all pressure before totally leaving the barrel.

Makes for corrosive salt solution when combined with water vapor in your safe.
Would not be a fan of that. Mix of sodium chloride, calcium chloride, and potassium chloride and mixed with water vapor over time would be about the same as using corrosive ammo in an enclosed area like a safe.
Go to Michaels or Hobby Lobby, buy their bulk flower dessicant granules and use those. You can reheat them in an oven as needed and reuse countless times.

Friend is wise. Back in the day, they were usually zeroed with them open. As the POI changes when closed and worse if the bayonet is absent altogether. SKS with their foldouts suffered the same issue.
Dunno if you have the actual .268 bullets but now and again Grafs and Sons gets Hornady to do a special run of true .268 bullets loaded as ammo for the Carcano. Bore is oversized for true 6.5 bullets.

I have what the commercial guys use.
There are a few rifles that did that, assuming the bayonet would be fixed. I didn't notice a difference between the two. It's so small that it took a bit of effort to find a consistent cheek weld. Like all American GIs, I wanted to pull it into my face, but I kept catching myself, thereby avoiding a bloody nose.
I bet the bigger 91s have pretty light recoil. My daughter loves the 6.5mm Arisaka. Feels just right to her.

One of our local ranges hosted the area II Championship for Steel Challenge. It's my understanding, overall, the participants were pleased with the way things were handled.
I didn't participate but I did notice some top ranked shooters were there. We had one guy clock a sub 2 second run drawing from a holster. Usually, those kinds of times are run by people shooting 22 rifle.

Usually better to push it through the forcing cone from the muzzle. Hopefully it was lead instead of jacketed.
Take the cylinder out totally if you absolutely have to do it from the forcing cone side of the revolver barrel instead of the muzzle. I have seen people use something like a muzzleloading worm to screw into the base of the bullet and ratchet it out but that might damage the barrel worse than simply tapping it back into barrel past the forcing cone from the barrel.
And then oil the barrel obstruction thoroughly with a light penetrating oil, tap tap tap with something like a jeweler's hammer.
Once had a wadcutter bullet stick in the forcing cone and that required a jeweler's saw to saw the bullet in half first and then, push the rest out from the muzzle end.
I have shorter brass punches that can be serviceable for removing obstructed handgun barrels. But less problems with shorter rods or even wood dowels causing issues if the distance is short to push a bullet out from a handgun barrel.
Similar to cleaning rod issues. Longer bores need rods that do not flex much, shorter bores can take crappier rods especially the cheap jointed rod cleaning kits.

I used to see old pulled Italian milsurp bullets sold in batches on Gunbroker but haven't checked in years.
Cast bullets, sized properly, and handloaded with the CH Harris The Load, those Carcanos can be very accurate and very mild reporting at short range 50-100 yd or so.

I had dropped off my new Glock 48 with sight at the range because I was having problems with jams and i knew it needed to be cleaned so figured I'd check it out. I picked it up today and when the guy brought it out, he told me he thought it was my grip that ws the problem and mentioned FUNDAMENTALS.
So, worked on grip today but still had issues with mags needed to be cleaned as well as my original G48. Procrastinating is not working.
Really liked the 32 that Ed brought today. Fit my hand, no recoil, had great groups at 5 and 7 yards. Wouldn;t mind owning one of those.

Rare occurrence but avoided a trip to the gunsmith. Ace, btw, usually has brass rods fairly inexpensive that work pretty well and easy to cut to length with a hacksaw if needed. Brass punches also works.
But I would go from teh muzzle myself as easier myself as the bullet was already engraved a bit by the bore when it stuck. So pushing it back through is not an issue with the forcing cone that you might think. Especially if obstruction is oiled on both sides with penetrating oil first. Makes a mess but the oil makes it a helluva lot easier to overcome the initial resistance.

Question: Has anyone here done their own AR-15
trigger job? And by "trigger job", I mean polishing the contact services of the sear and other parts of the stock military type trigger group.
I did this last night and tested the results at the range this afternoon -- the results were mixed: trigger pull was definitely less gritty, but still slow, creepy and heavy at about 6 lbs.
Fwiw, I used used small pieces of #600, 1000 , 1500 and then 2000 grit paper, in that order, laid over an old razor blade, so as to keep the abrasive surface flat and avoid "rounding" any of the contact services on the trigger parts.
I'd be interested in hearing from anyone else who has done this and what kind of results they got . . . of course, anyone can just drop in a nice timney trigger but where's the fun in that? :-)

Maglula Uplula is the one you want.
Buy it, if possible from a store, or online from a store (e.g. Cabela's/Bass Pro Shops, Academy, etc.). The reason being there are fakes which don't work as well (if at all) that you will get ordering from eBay, the 'Zon, etc.

Yesterday, we had interesting conditions. Wind on the firing line, but, the wind was only hitting us for the first 100 yards or so, because the silhouettes are all below us and sit down a bit, while we're up on a berm.
I started off well, went 9 for 9, missing the 10th target. Darn, But, I picked myself up and went 4 for 5 on the next set. 500 meters, though, completely messed me up. I mistook a rifle set up issue for an elevation issue, which cost me four targets. Still though, I'm heading in the right direction, going 13 of 15 @ 200, 300 and 400 meters. Even better, when I looked at the steel afterword, I could see I was hitting where I expected.

If it hadn't been sticking halfway out of the front barrel, i might have knocked it backwards. I only needed to tap it far enough out that channel locks could grab it.

Glad for you. Cannot remember whether you have a No. 4 or old SMLE aka No. 1 Mk. 3. If you have SMLE, you can purchase for a little amount of cash, an auxiliary mag spring from Apex Gun Parts for it. It can help avoid feeding issues as the auxiliary mag spring attaches to the front edge of the magazine and goes inside the mag well. Cost 2.50 and in stock as I just checked. Think it can be used with No. 4 rifle mags but not sure.
SKU ENF-2166
And a reminder to any Enfield folks out there (not the P14 though), always remove the buttstock and screw first before you dismount the forend. If you don't, the buttstock screw will mess up your forend which is a pita to repair.

trigger job? And by "trigger job", I mean polishing the contact services of the sear and other parts of the stock military type trigger group.
Posted by: Pooklord
========
Not a fan of doing trigger jobs on ARs. Their components have a very thin hard layer and much softer material inside on sear components and easy to cut through the hard layer. Then you get abnormal and accelerated wear. I learned on old case hardened triggers like Mausers, Springfields, and even revolvers and the thing that must not be done is polish through the hardened layers on trigger components.
If you must do this, consider getting Spyderco Waterstone synthetic stones that are designed for trigger work. India and Ouachita stones will work but messy and ideally using a jig to hold parts in correct orientation. Those are available btw for teh AR trigger group. Try Brownells for both components.
The other option Anderson made stainless steel trigger components which were cast rather than forged (non mil spec). Stainless has more lubricity than regular steel and cast stainless means same hardness throughout. Takes polishing well.

i use a seriously nifty thing called Eva-Dry.
it is full of desiccant beads that are blue when ready to rock. There’s a small minnow on the front so you can see the.
As they absorb moisture, the beads turn clear.It has a plug on the back that flips out, and you plug it in to recharge.. The beads turn blue again, and back in the safe it goes. Works great. i employ 2 of them. 1 at the top, and one at the bottom.
i also have another canister of dessicant beads that you put on the oven to recharge. the Eva-Dry units work so well, that they have actually recharged this canister with out a trip to the oven.
Oh, and the TX extravaganza? All my details are set.

Not exactly something somebody has around, but in the Army when we were bored on training missions we would put cleaning rods in the barrel and shoot blanks (blank adapter removed, natch). Might be useful for dislodging a squib, but fairly sure nobody really has blanks around for all their calibers. Something to think about tho.

Some of the discussion deals specifically with S&W revolvers but useful for understanding what is involved with DIY trigger jobs. Something to guarantee correct geometry usually for us mortals, a jig, correct tools, and understanding materials.
I have somewhere down in my parts stash, a butchered Mauser rifle sear where someone tried to make the military Mauser sear into a single stage trigger. That means grinding one of the two humps in the sear and second, Mauser sears were case hardened so as to function well. Grinding the hump clearly exceeded the exterior of the case hardening into the softer core. Fortunately, I had about ten Mauser sears (bought all of them used as an assortment of m98 sears) so I could discard the bad one.
But had I mounted it on an action, the trigger would not have been safe and had a crappy action to it also as Military Mausers are classic two stage triggers, partly for safety, partly to allow good shots to stage the trigger for fine work.

Sentry used to sell moly solution with a needle applicator bottle. Basically they marketed it as trigger job in a bottle. I'd imagine that your solution would be much cheaper if messier.
Years ago I messed around with moly coated bullets and a moly bore just for fun. It works but eventually you have to clean to metal and start again. And you have to use nylon bore brushes if you use moly solutions in your barrel.
Like most people, mess wasn't worth it for that particular application.

Washita--wash like clothes washing, it, a like in ah. Wash-it-ah. Saw Ryan Hall of Ryan Hall Y'all weather podcaster call it wash EE Tah. Made me laugh as I am from Arkansas.
The best Ouachita stones come from around Hot Springs, Arkansas vicinity which made some unusually fine quartz stone to be used efficiently in removing material. Still have to use oil but less messy than India Stones "carborundum" which you have to keep soaked in oil because brittle.
I use the Spyderco synthetic stones simply for convenience on a quick job because the lube is water instead of oil that you use with the other stones. Ouachita and Spyderco stones also hold their geometry better and I use the cheap imported India stones for rapid removal after filing or some other gross removal technique. They make harder and softer India stones but Ouachita is simply better for fine work of polishing rather than removal.

Well, it turns out that My Lady has a toaster oven. I put 150g of desiccant in it at a time, bake it at 250F for two hours, let it cool with the oven closed for half an hour, and it's good as new. I'm mixing it with some other desiccant beads I bought with indicator, so I know that it's refreshed.

In my case, the prognosis is continued decline and not much I can do about a deteriorating spine other than keeping limber and doing some particular exercises used to strengthen back muscles to hold the deteriorating spine in place.
Thanks for asking and I know you had some health issues yourself. Hope yours have gone away.

Really good for polishing trigger components or putting a fine edge on knives. Recently though, I use my Ouachita bench and other stones for sharpening wood chisels, planer blades, etc.
Getting to where it is difficult to use either as grip strength on dominant hand has weakened substantially due to nerve compression. I'll have to start doing more with my left which doesn't have that issue so far.

I sure hope these guys are trained in riot control.
I remember a photo I saw of the 1968 Chicago riots. There were two guard troops stopping a car, one was in front pointing his rifle at the driver and the other half way in the rear window, pointing his M-79 at passengers in the back.
The M-79 is a 40mm grenade launcher. It would have killed whomever it was pointed at from just kinetic energy. The rounds don't arm themselves until they travel a certain distance, 35 meters maybe from memory

Ammo clips for the Carcano are also getting scarce on the ground nowadays. Pretty much necessary for any Mannlicher style action. Same thing for Berthier 5 round clips (the three rounds are around more), and older Austrian-Hungary Mannlichers.

Actually, I was a bit concerned about going through and wrecking those thin hardend surfaces, which is why I did not do much polishing last night -- it was very mild. Any more and I would have been changing the shape of the contact surfaces.
I don't think I will do any more that way for the concerns and issues you mentioned. I do think a jig would be necessary. I'll check out brownells and some of the other sources you mentioned.

I've got two, and for plinking, that's enough.
Funny that Broomhandle clips are so easy to find. I guess we all need to have a full combat loadout ala Winston before heading to the range.

During the Vietnam era, M79 grenadiers had buckshot rounds available for close quarters combat. I think each one was loaded w/ 20 or so 00 buckshot. That would have utterly shredded the back seat passengers at close range.

Wish I had the need for such a labor-saving device for loading en blocs, but alas I do not shoot the M1s *that* much.
There is an easy technique for loading the en blocs. Start with 5 rounds, get them more/less correctly loaded, easy to hold in place, then add the final three rounds individually. Make sure to snap the grooves on the cases down into place from the start.

I may have told this story here before, but it's been a while.
Some years back I decided I wanting a .22 LR revolver for plinking, and I wasn't willing to pay for a Ruger Single Six. I surfed around, scoped Gun Broker and found an auction for an Iver Johnson Sidewinder in mint condition for super-cheap. Even better, it was in Michigan, and within a reasonable drive. Won the auction, went to pick it up in person, and everything went off without a hitch.
BUT
I thought I was buying a Single Action gun. That's what was listed. In the shop, that's what I tested. Cock the hammer and trigger releases. Took it home, showed it to my wife. Who pulled the trigger with the hammer down. I was about to say "It's single action only" when the damn thing actually worked. Double action! "A little stiff," she said, handing it back to me.

A flechette round would be even better.
The M-79 ("Blooper", "Bloop Gun") was fun. It could be quite accurate out to 300 or so meters.
Shells were spin-armed, and could be armed by jiggling caused by jogging, so grenadiers were encouraged to hit the deck away from others, in case one in their bandolier had gotten armed.

During my final rifle qual with the ANG, they handed us magazines and stripper clips of ammo on the range with directions to load them to certain amounts. All my fellow Airman dutifully peeled the rounds off the clips and inserted them individually into the mags. I started to do this and abruptly stopped. I went up to range control and the table with the ammo. Rooted around until I found the adapter and began ramming the ammo into the mags.
One of the SPs (who ran the range) looked at me. "Security Forces?"
"Prior Army."
"Ah."

A couple of the better AR lower parts makers have better components but I have seen some really shitty AR parts floating around through the years. Some are rejects from the military contracts, some are off mil spec like the Anderson (stainless steel and cast instead of forged), and some are lowest cost bidder stuff.
Look for Schmid Tools if you want high end milspec quality. Schmid has made trigger components for the military since the 80's and has been in business since the 60's.
One thing to also check is the disconnector. These are normally mild steel and stamped but polishing those can result in a better trigger pull.

Re teh cold laser, some swear by it and some swear at it.
In my case the spinal disks themselves are collapsing due to complications from psoriatic arthritis. Ankylosing Spondylitis in later stages makes your spine look like bamboo as your spine fuses together with the disks. Then I have peripheral nerve compression coming off the spine in several cervical disks and now some central canal stenosis in two areas--lumbar and cervical.

What kind of magazines can I use in the one I bought? Are 1911 magazines pretty much interchangeable, or what do I have to look out for?
Posted by: Cybersmythe at September 28, 2025 09:07 PM (VmDLh)
1911 mags are pretty universal. Wilson Combat and Ed Brown mags are considered the best and it's what I would use IF I carried a 1911.

That is ultimately an issue as my particular demon variety of psoriatic arthritis is attacking and destroying all my connective tissue and that leaves bone spurs everywhere including nerve channels. So my surgeons get to play whack a mole after tedious demonstration that other things do not work.
I use heat, cold, physical therapy (been in Pt since 2000 using all visits on my plan), and Meloxicam aka Mobic nowadays. And yes, I do stretching and strength building pt exercises at home, some professional massage targeting the back, and mild muscle relaxers when absolutely needed to sleep. Baclofen and another one which is Methyl carbamol I think.
Basically my psoriatic arthritis drug is not working since 18 months ago they made me switch from Humira and Insurance is being a pain in letting me use something other than Cosentyx. Plus, some of those are not rated to treat ankylosing spondylitis. And there are other insurance/legal issues involved right now. Friggin mess.

Best magazines available are Wilson Combat or Chip McCormick magazines. They're not cheap, but are more durable because they're better made than the original GI spec magazines. Check the Wilson Combat website to see if anything is on sale. On cheaper magazines, known failure points include the feed lips and magazine bodies bending if dropped, stepped on, or crushed. Make sure you know the difference between full sized and compact size magazines. They will not interchange (i.e. compact won't fit in full size guns, and vice versa).

The Remington 700 one of the best .308 platforms, particularly if you get one made before 1990. Accurized versions have been sniper/precision platforms for decades. If you can't afford an Accuracy International rifle, a Rem 700 isn't a bad alternative.
Cons, well if you get a 90's or 2000's Remington you are getting decreased quality control.

If it's a standard 1911 (and the Tisas and Rock Islands certainly are), any 1911 mag should work just fine.* The only problem you'll have with 1911 mags (as far as I've seen) is finding 9mm ones for anything other than a GI-size pistol. Finding ones for my Officer sized 9mm is not easy.
(* Except for the ones I've bought, which seem to like disassembly under pressure. They've been good ones, too, not off-brand stuff. I'm beginning to think it's me that's the problem.)

Rifles are individuals as far as accuracy especially those that come from the factory. See if the guy will let you shoot it with him present first. If he can shoot it well, then you should be able to as well when you get accustomed to it. Otherwise, you have no frame of reference.
That being said, an r700 with an aftermarket trigger from Timney or others can be excellent. Remington barrels were still decent even during the dark days of Cerebrus Mgmt, and I have a long action receiver that I was planning to build until my health deteriorated into a bean field gun. Receiver is perfectly in spec and the aftermarket bolt fits it like a glove with not much other than lapping the bolt lugs to get good engagement.
Stocks and other parts are where later Remingtons cheaped out on and the trigger was decent but then due to litigation over the Walker trigger, Remington made matters worse with their 'improvements' to fix things without admitting it needed to be fixed.

Best two 10mm pistols are the XDM Elite from Springfield and the Glock 20. I know...I know...but from a size/weight/capacity/recoil standpoint, the G20 is really peak.
The XDM Elite is very very good for a 10 round 10mm but it's a bit blocky in hand.
I know some morons also have the Colt Delta Elite. If you get one that is later mfg, it may not have issues with slide cracking and then you have a 1911 that shoots 10mm. Some people are into that.
Smith and Wesson also makes a solid 10mm and so does SIG.

Remington went to some really crappy plastic stocks without bedding blocks toward the end and their modified Walker triggers were awful and with little change toward safety.
Most commercial bolt actions rifles around nowadays (and most shotguns until very recently) are not drop safe with a round in teh chamber. They mostly have trigger blocking safeties that prevent trigger movement but do not block the firing pin/striker. So you drop them on the stock with the trigger engaged from a high enough distance and they might discharge via inertia acting on the firing pin/striker.
There is a reason in dangerous parts of the world that old Mauser actions based on the 98 are still preferred for safety and reliability. The safety on those literally prevents the firing pin from coming in contact with the primer under any condition except if some idiot or extreme wear breaks the safety keys on the firing pin.

Assuming it's coming with decent glass, at a decent price, and as others have pointed out best if a pre-90, it could be a good choice. The fact you get to try it out is a huge plus. Get some (2-3 boxes) 168 Match ammo.
Most modern rifles (particularly in the CNC era we're in) will shoot a little under a MOA (some can approach .5 MOA). Good glass is a difference maker. My advise is plan to spend 100 to 200% of the rifle price on glass, (depending on what you want to do, of course). .308 goes transsonic out around 800 to 1K yards, depending on load. 6.5CM will get you more range, but do you need it?

Anyway, he was consulted by a chain of convenience stores on what they should use to arm their clerks and he said a Colt Dragoon, because it was huge and intimidating, and size matters. They refused to take him seriously, and used .380s, which worked, but required clerks to shoot them because they had no intimidation value.
Great anecdote, we thought he was a pretty cool dude, and then looking him up years later he was found with kiddie pr()n on his office computer and self-deleted after being convicted. So maybe not the best authority.

Every now and again, they get some pretty rare stuff as they go do the gunshow circuit. Same for pistolas, etc. And they have a fairly large and eclectic used parts supply for old firearms.

Those new fangled stockless pistol grip shotguns might do even better if you keep them down to a 20 gauge or so. Due to a quirk in ATF regs, those can have shorter than 18 inch barrels without an NFA issue because no stock on them.

Try a 38-40 New Service revolver or N Frame S&W--if the shooting doesn't work, they are such a hunk of steel that you can bash heads in with it.
And the 38-40 loaded hot ballistics is what those originally messing with the 10mm and 40 S&W intended. Uses a 40 cal bullet btw.
Sort of like how the 32-20 ballistics were later duplicated by the 32 H&R magnum.

Most modern rifles (particularly in the CNC era we're in) will shoot a little under a MOA (some can approach .5 MOA). Good glass is a difference maker. My advise is plan to spend 100 to 200% of the rifle price on glass, (depending on what you want to do, of course). .308 goes transsonic out around 800 to 1K yards, depending on load. 6.5CM will get you more range, but do you need it?
Posted by: Duncanthrax at September 28, 2025 09:39 PM (0sNs1)
Great advice, Dunc! The owner says it has Nikon glass currently installed, but no more details than that.

For a couple of months in 2024, I ran searches for various Chinese Mauser variants on Gunbroker and compared then to Arisaka auctions.
This included Zhong Zengs, Hanyang, FN imports and Type 13s. The Arisakas outnumbered all of them by a margin of 33+:1

For either of them, how much are you willing to pay buy ammo? And then where do you have to shoot it. Indoor, forgetaboutit. Outdoors, needs to start at 500 yards with a helluva backstop.

I had one of those in .410/.45. Pretty neat.
Many years ago, when Vampire: The Masquerade was a thing (IYKYK) I came up with the idea of an over-under, break-action handgun in .410 that could fire "Dragonbreath" rounds. In-game, I said I could have one modded by a gunsmith.
And then Bond Arms made them for real. I was sorely tempted, but I regarded them as something I wanted as a child, but I have since put aside childish things.
At least until I have more money.

Can confirm. Mine took 20 rounds, with lots of holdover and windage, but it eventually rang steel at 1106. Even with Scoobs calling the shots.

If you have an AR 15 lower, just put on a 6.8 SPC upper receiver with a new bolt. Lots of folks hunt hogs with that particular round and fairly cheap as far as actual hunting rounds go. Keeps up with the 6.5 Grendel to about 400 yards or so.
But did you not buy an AR-10 recently? Then you can also put a 6.5 Creedmoor upper on it later if you wish.

Hogue used to make a more expensive version of your stock with bedding blocks on it for about double the price if I recall correctly. Choate and Magpul also have reasonable synthetic r700 stocks below 500. Then you get into the pricier ones.

Food Thread: Foraging For Mushrooms? Deliciousness... Or Death
I wasn't brought up on processed foods, so they never got a foothold in my kitchen. Sure, when I was a kid, Pop-Tarts and Cap'n Crunch and other deliciousness were to be had, but they were treats more than staples. The current buzz-word is "ultra-processed foods," which used to be called junk food. Is it bad? Sure, in large amounts. Is it the anti-Christ? No, because as usual, our food media and government functionaries are hysterical little bitches who can't moderate their lunacy. Calm down. Eat mostly homemade food. But don't agonize over a bag of your favorite whatever. Which in my case is Dot's Homestyle Pretzels! Damn...they are delicious!
RMBS fancies himself a cook, but his mother seems to have beaten him in most respects. Her Greek gigante beans recipe is fantastic, and now she has expanded to mushrooms. But not just regular mushrooms; she has become a mushroom forager, and quite a good one it seems! I wonder whether RMBS had to stay in the car with a juice box and a comic book while his mom hunted for dinner?
I was excited when I saw this recipe, because A) I love caramel corn, 2. I really love pecans, and III, I was going to make it and tune up the pecans to be spicy! But...commercial caramel sauce? Really? Have you Southerners no pride?
Caramel Pecan Popcorn, aka Georgia Popcorn sounds good, if you are willing to be a real cook and not some ersatz wimp who buys jarred everything.
Commenter and Open Blogger "scampydog" was in NYC recently, and went out for some Chinese food!
Pork Bao Bun - it was ok, the sauce inside the bun was a bit too much/overpowering - it sort of tasted like Japanese salad dressing. The Shouyu Black Garlic Ramen (Chashu pork) - dunno, wife said it was delicious. The zucchini skewer was fine - greatly improved when rolling it the dumpling sauce. Spicy dumplings were the big winner - could've eaten about 20 of them.
That's pretty much my experience at most Dim Sum and lunch joints in NYC. Some dishes are good...others are steam table crap. An old friend and life-long New Yorker claimed that there was one vast subterranean Chinese kitchen that pumped the same food to every Chinese restaurant in the city through miles of tubes. He might have had a point!
Any recipe with pork belly has a good shot at being delicious. And the Brits know what they are doing with pork belly, so I had high hopes! And look! Butter beans! They're good too.
Cider-braised pork belly butter bean chilli with apple relish
But what's this over-reliance on apples? Cider braising? And apple relish? Spare me. Braise it in beer, and make an apricot relish instead. More variety of flavors, and besides, apples are stupid.
I thought France would have good garlic, but the Frogs seem to have the same problem we have in the U.S. At least they don't import filthy garlic from China. Pork is great here, but no game, so send all of your extra antelope to: cbd dot aoshq at gmail dot com.

I have a shelf in my one cupboard BOWING because of the cookbooks on it. And 2 entire shelves chock full. And that's only because I stopped buying them some number of years ago.
I could send a pic to Weasel, and end up crossing the book thread, food thread AND gun thread (just because it's Weasel).
(I just went and counted: 66, including the "magazine" like cookie books and such. It's 67 if you count the one where I have a copy to keep and a copy to use. And that's aside from two very large folders full of printed out and photocopied recipes.)

I also frequently print out recipes because I don't have the bandwidth to remember all the ingredients or steps. My folder is currently about 3 inches wide of the recipes I use all the time.
All of my cookbooks and printed recipes have scribbled notes on them with minor adjustments, metric to imperial conversions, and portions scaled down for two servings.

Damp starch in a waterproof shell. Popcorn kernel, potato, same thing to a microwave. Just a culinary pipe bomb of a different size.
Squashes, and all the nightshades, too. Though I've never heard of anyone trying to microwave a whole bell pepper.
I guess potatoes are nightshades, too, but we don't eat the "berry" part.

If there are any young'uns in the crew, rest assured that they're making some fine memories.
Every Sunday my great-grandma would make dinner for her kids, their spouses, the grandkids, and the great-grandkids (including moi). It was a huge production, involving a large dining room table, a separate buffet, and the kids relegated to plates in the living room or at the picnic table outside if it was nice.
Seeing everyone and playing with the cousins is a core memory for me, as is my great-grandma's cooking. Wow, she could cook.

I did end up buying several bottles on Amazon. I need to start taking them.
Ontario has plenty of cannibus shops. There were people opening stores selling mushrooms and the cops just harassed those poor people. There's a Canadian flag that has been on the ground across the street right next to the road for 5 days. There's probably a good reason no one feels any need to rescue it.
Avocados! I really like them and learned that if you wrap them individually and keep them in the fridge, they last a long, long time.

A really simple thigh recipe, like brain dead simple, that won't disappoint... just season whole chicken thighs, skin on, with your favorite chicken seasonings, and roast them on a big baking sheet with a bunch of Yukon gold potatoes (quartered) and seasoned, a bunch of garlic cloves, and a few lemons (halved). About 30-35 mins at a pretty high temp like around 450.
Once it's done roasting and cooling, sprinkle it with fresh dill, and serve with tzatziki sauce and feta.

I added a bit of fresh ginger because I had it. Marinated for about 30 minutes, then broiled. It was spectacular...

1 stick unsalted butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
4 quarts of air popped corn
Melt butter and add sugar, corn syrup and salt and stir to combine. Bring it to a boil and let it boil for 5 minutes. Add baking powder and vanilla to syrup off the heat and stir it until well mixed. Pour it over popcorn and stir it gently to cover. Bake in a 250F oven for 20 minutes, take it out and stir it again. Bake another 20 minutes, take it out and stir it again. Three stirs gets you very good coverage. Bake another 20 minutes. Remove it from oven and lay it out on aluminum foil, breaking it into smaller pieces. It cools in a few minutes and then you can bag or box it up.

I stumbled across a mushroom forager Instagram this week, and she was so excited about this one mushroom she found. It has this special yellow/orange crystallization under the cap, and she said it has a tart citrus taste and licked it and said it was so good. She used so many mushroom specific terms that didn't sound like real words.
It was ingrained in me from my church summer camps that all mushbrooms were poisonous and would kill us, that I don't dare, even now as an adult, to trust myself with picking one in the wild.

The Horde mind is amazing, I just prepped dinner tonight and used Dino chicken nuggets! They were cheaper than the regular shaped ones this week. I have a whole household of growing boys that are bottomless pits, so frozen nuggets are a staple.
I made an imitation chicken Parmesan spaghetti casserole, where you layer sauced spaghetti, Parmesan cheese, the frozen nuggets, then sauce, then more Parmesan, then mozzarella and oregano. Bake until cooked through and cheese is bubbling. The boys love it and devour it.
Will serve it with homemade garlic toast as a side. I'd add a side salad, but I forgot to buy romaine this week and didn't realize we're out, sigh. Maybe I'll add a bean salad.

We had our nugget period with the kids growing up. Spouse and I never ate them, though. Instead, I would make (what I thought) was a tasty dinner (but I knew it would be a lot for the kids - think Indian curry), but if the kids didn't want it, they could have nuggets as long as they ate the fresh fruit with dinner. By age 9, none of them needed the "nugget crutch" anymore...we also used PBJ as a crutch (if I thought dinner should have been eaten by them, but I still never made theme eat it - but neither was I cooking two dinners or eating crap myself

It's my new favorite rye. Loaded with flavor. Fruit notes like cherry. Cinnamon. Plus the usual rye stuff.
Makes an excellent Manhattan or Boulevardier.
Very sipable with a huge nose and flavor. Though it does drink hot.
At $60/bottle it's a little dear compared to something like Rittenhouse. But it kicks Rittenhouse's butt and sends it crying home to Mommy.
Give it a whirl.

I do make a lot from scratch. I was kind of proud to hear one of the boys complain, when I told him to find food in the fridge, he said "we don't have food in here, we just have ingredients!" But I'm trying to have more stuff they can make on their own. They are learning to cook, but if they can pop chicken nuggets in the air fryer when they are hungry, some days that's a win.

Lots of advice, but right now? Just bring the starter back to life very slowly. feed it once/day, and don't be frustrated if it takes a long time. You are looking for at least doubling (I hope for almost triple) between feedings to signal that it is alive and well. I keep discarding until it is very active, that way I don't have to make 500 grams of starter every day.
Look up sourdough crackers for the discard. They are spectacular!

3 qt popped corn; 1 cup shelled pistachios, 1 cup toasted pecans; 1 cup toasted macadamias (you can use whatever nut you prefer, or add another quart of popcorn for nut free.)
1 Cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup corn syrup, 1/2 cup butter, 1 tabl orange zest, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 tso baking soda.
Preheat oven to 250
mix popcorn and nuts in a large, buttered roasting pan. In a large heavy saucepan ( I use a dutch oven) combine brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, orange zest and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then once sugar is dissolved, stir for 4 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in vanilla and baking soda. pour over popcorn mixture and stir to coat. Bake for one hour, stirring the mix every 15 minutes. Remove from oven, scrap mixture to loosen from pan and then let cool completely. Store in airtight container.

I make a smallish loaf for myself once a week. I take the starter out of the fridge, measure out 1/3 cup into another container, add 1/3 cup each of water and bread flour. About six hours later, it's ready to make bread.
Sometimes, I use the discard to make green onion pancakes, but I usually just toss it.

I enrich this bread slightly, both for flavor and texture. Sugar and fat (from butter) tenderize the dough by coating the proteins and reducing gluten development. This helps produce smaller crumb that’s characteristic of sandwich loaves. I also add roux, which is flour and water cooked together until gravy-like, also referred to as TangZhong roux. This allows the bread to remain moist because cooked flour binds to water in a way that prevents it from evaporating during cooking and during staling.

For the last couple of months, I've been going back and putting tags on them. Things like, entree, beef, hot appetizer, cold appetizer, pasta, vegetable, breads, etc. You get the idea.

Stir fry or casserole?
If you like the components, I'd air fry or bake my broccoli at 400 til I like it...then I'd make chicken separately til it's just done, then add the sauce broccoli to the chicken and cook 2-3 minutes to warm it all through...
More time, but might solve all the problems.
I'd steam veg, but my spouse hates it...he prefers never adding water to veg (and I don't blame him b/c I did grow up with some awful steamed stuff)...

I'd steam veg, but my spouse hates it...he prefers never adding water to veg (and I don't blame him b/c I did grow up with some awful steamed stuff)...

It was stir fry. We don't have an air fryer. We have an instapot and a rice cooker....not that I can eat rice anymore...
I'll give that a try, cooking separately and then combining

My copy isn't, but Jesse's is. Mine is the working copy and the signed one stays pristine. I haven't tried many recipes from it, but so far each one is a winner and not too difficult for the cooking-challenged such as myself.
I heartily recommend bluebell's peanut butter chocolate chip cookie recipe on p. 70-71. I make these a lot and everybody loves them. Don't use the milk, I've tried both ways and they're better without it. Helena's amazing brownie recipe is also in there (p.54). If you've been to a TX MoMe you know how fantastic these are.

Your first world problem is that you're running out of liquor-oriented glasses. Mine is that I have too many.
Two people in my life never used their fancy glasses so they gave them to me. One set is a cheapish collection of about 8 goblets, the other is some crystal-like engraved set of tiny little sippers suitable for liqueurs that no one drinks. I was cleaning house yesterday and finally threw away all my old college papers that I myself haven't read in mumblety years so why do I think they'll be precious heirlooms, and I rounded up all the glasses and put them in my car to drop off the next time I'm driving by the Goodwill or the Cancer Society store.

Oddly enough, the cheapest candle I could find to stick in my jack-o-lantern last Halloween was a sickly-scented thing in a little glass. Perfect for putting in a pumpkin, because I didn't have to carefully prop it up with toothpicks.
The thing burned all night. Half of it was left. Being me, I had no choice but to bring the rest of it back in the house and put it in a drawer to use THIS year.
Every time I open that drawer, its sickly scent wafts through the house. A long year of patient suffering will be rewarded this October 31 when it lights another jack-o-lantern and burns all the way!

As to vent hoods - this is a giant pet peeve for me after I learned new builders dont vent the vent hoods out of the house - they are designed to "filter" cooking air. They do nothing, but it looks like there is a vent because a fake one is nailed to the ceiling. Cost cutting at its finest.

____________________________
I speak from experience on this. There was a big push a few years ago for local municipalities to require a certain level of ventilation on stove hoods. Failure to do so properly is a building violation. This was, primarily, aimed at gas stoves for obvious health reasons. But, if your municipality adopted the legislation (which a lot did), then you can get it fixed (for free by the builder) and the builder probably gets a fine on top of that.

My coffee pot was broken so I had to drive thru Starbucks for a few mornings. Those people are trained to be chirpy and friendly and morning glory to the max. They might have piercings and colored hair, but they know customer service talk. The speakers are minimal static, and you don't have to grapple with incomprehensible accents.
I also discovered that for a plain brew (not an espresso drink), the price is the same for every size. So splash out! Get yourself a venti Pike Place with extra cream!
THAT said, I'm glad I got a new coffee pot. Pays for itself vs daily Starbucks in a week.

No, blocking off the old vent, eventually removing it altogether during a roof replacement was the biggest issue. Bugs, especially wasps, loved to nest in the unused tube.
Nothing quite like opening a cabinet over the stove and having 2 dozen wasps looking back at you.

Drill a hole in a small Euro coin, thread the wick through and knot it on the underside, then settle that in the bottom. Much nicer, and you can use different countries in all your candles and make it a conversation piece.

Well, I put my emergency matches AND my emergency lighter by the emergency candles. And I use my EDC flashlight to find those in the dark. The emergency candles I'm going to make for my GHB will be IN the GHB, along with a lighter. And that's in my car, behind the driver's seat.

A bit OT, but I just read Powerline's (sympathetic) summary of Andy McCarthy's (disapproving) take on the Comey indictment. I had to draw myself a picture and I still don't get it.

___________________
That evaluation by McCarthy is made based on what is known and only what is known. There's a pesky little issue called "corroborating evidence." I still think what was in those "forgotten" burn bags, and the multitude of self-posterior protecting whistleblowers will have a big part to play in that case.
The whole basis of McCarthy's position was based on McCabe making the call, and Comey playing dumb. Failure to give thought to those two concocting this approach is amateur night IMO.

Nothing To See Here! Please Disperse!
Apparently The Murder Of Christians Is Perfectly Okay With The UN And The World!
Well, of course! They aren't downtrodden Muslims or transsexuals or leftists, so really, who cares! And besides, they are the worst kind of Christians...they actually take Christianity seriously!
This is nothing more than a continuation of Islam's 1,400 year war against Western Civilization. When Islam is powerful...it kills and conquers. When it is weak...it is obsequious and slithery and migratory. But the goal is the same: to subvert Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc., by any means at their disposal. Christian persecution in Nigeria: 1,200 churches destroyed annually, hundreds killed Over 8,000 Christians killed in Nigeria in 2023, watchdog estimates 7,000 Christians Have Been Killed in Nigeria This Year, Group SaysOver 50,000 Christians killed in Nigeria by Islamist extremists
Over 50,000 Christians have been killed in Nigeria since the outbreak of the Boko Haram Islamist insurgency in 2009, a newly-released report published by a Nigerian non-governmental organization has revealed.
And that is two and a half years ago. It has gotten much worse. The conspicuous ignorance of the world media, and the vicious fixation on Israel's defensive war against militant Islam is a stark reminder that Western religions are despised, and their adherents are considered expendable in the post-modern war against everything traditional. Wars against religions are acceptable at the United Nations, as evidenced by their obsessive hatred of every Israeli attempt at defense of the Jewish state, and their disinterest in doing anything about the Muslim war on Christians in Nigeria and elsewhere. But the world rushes to the defense of Islam when it is countered, which suggests that Islam is not a religion, but is a revolutionary political philosophy that uses religion to control its adherents. Communism is similarly protected! Christians and Jews are the primary targets of Islam. It is institutionally fixated on the devout, because they are most capable of refuting Islam's pseudo-religious dictates to conquer and kill. And like communism, Islam understands that the destruction of Western religion will destroy one of the underpinnings of Western culture. And without that culture, Islam becomes the default. But even more than religion's structural support of the West, it provides a template for the world that is far kinder to, and more respectful of the individual, which is anathema to Islam (and communism!). One of these quotations is not like the other...
I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved, so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes.-- Quran (8:12)
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.-- Matthew 7:12
You shall neither take revenge from nor bear a grudge against the members of your people; you shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.-- Leviticus 19:18
What is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow.-- Rabbi Hillel In which world would you rather live?

All Muhammad had to do was to preach some kind of moral reform, leaving theology out and certainly not teaching about banging nine year olds, and he could easily have become revered as a continuation of one faith and as a respected outsider of the others.
Take Gregory of Nyssa and his sister Macrina. They preached against slavery. They're saints in Catholicism and Orthodoxy; and I've not heard a Jew say anything bad about them. Contrast Muhammad who taught, "enslaving unbelievers? AWESOME!".

Going way out on a limb here, but I would speculate that they were genuinely shocked, initially, that the Empire told them to pound sand (sorry). There was serious religious disaffection due to a theological dispute that the southern & eastern part of the Empire was losing - and which was also a political struggle, as well; they were able to grab a several eastern provinces without a lot of effort because of that.
But Hoffer's comment about a movement turning into a business turning into a racket definitely applies. By the early 8th century, Islam was a racket.

Portland has a very specific, localized problem.
In June, the Portland cops, under orders from Portland city government, stopped enforcing the law near Portland's ICE building, which has several apartment buildings nearby.
Antifa blasts noise at the ICE building at all hours, has repeatedly assaulted conservatives near the ICE building, and frequently harasses local residents, including stopping them and demanding ID to demonstrate that they aren't cops or conservatives.
The Portland cops do nothing about this.

"The moment the men who wanted to be left alone are forced to fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these men who wanted to be left alone, fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people’s door, and they will cry, scream and beg for mercy… but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the men who just wanted to be left alone.”

Abuse, neglect, directionlessness, early and overmedication, mass formation psychosis, social media, electronic device addiction, and nonstop brainwashing. We have been having our brains rewired for nonstop stimulation instead of critical thinking, higher executive function, long-term memory retention. Everything is going straight to the amygdala.

Then, you'll never guess what happened next.

He went on Twitter to make things worse for himself:
"Separating the U.S. from Colombia is what the mafias need.
What the U.S. govt is doing to me breaks all the norms of immunity on which the functioning of the United Nations and its General Assembly is based.

Israel shares the same problem with the US. By trying to make 'war' humane which requires going slowly, being sure of targets, etc., you run out of the limited window of time provided by the initial outrage. Basically, people forget, ignore, etc over time things like the 10/7 terror raid as older information is replaced by newer agit prop of Muzzies being killed. So the original situation becomes inverted becuz victimhood is a fleeting emotional std. for outsiders to take your side.
We had the same issue in Afghanistan---sympathy worldwide for 9/11 that by 2022-2023 had dissipated in favor of Muzzie wedding parties getting shot up. Bystanders then are free to apply whataboutism in order to ignore and forget the original reason that war started in the first place. Instead it becomes, you are a mean bully using strength to kill poor --whatevers.
Weaponized empathy with psychopaths is especially acute in AWFLs. Example is the teachers in Chitown commemorating a killer of a State Patrol office for the Revolution who fled to Cuba to avoid being prosecuted. Forget the original victim, mourn the terrorist.

_____________________
The consanguinity isn't helping. You can go to places like the southern Egypt and northern Sudan, and the inbreeding percentage is close to 80%. The whole existence of the Muslim faith is based on segregating their peoples tribally. So, not only has inbreeding persisted on the tribal level internally within what are considered Islamic countries, they carry it with them into countries to which they emigrate. The increase in birth deformities in the UK nearly tripled over a decade with the arrival of massive Muslim immigrants.
Birth deformities are the visible aspect of that equation. Lowered intelligence, poor reasoning, and those effects associated with the brain contribute to the behavior.

Yes. And a huge looming crisis. By some estimates 1 in 7 adults has been prescribed or is on some sort of medication specifically for, or adjacent to medications to treat some form of mental instability/illness.
This would include tranquilizers, all the SSRI's and a host of medications given to the maladjusted to keep them quiet. Top tier estimates are around 25% of the US population is "medicated" to one degree or another.

It's all agendas. The politicians benefits from the unrest, the Christian leaders benefit from the outrage and the ordinary citizens get distracted from the misery and not question the leaders.
Christians definitely get killed in the North for religion. I know people who barely escaped. But tbh, Muslims also get killed there as well. It's just generally unsafe regardless of religion
Israeli and American media claiming there’s a genocide is so moronic lol. Earlier this year they claimed white genocide in South Africa.
There has been a recent CIA agenda and US psyop pushing the narrative that they are killings in Nigeria as much as what is going on in Palestine. This is just a way to brainwash people to ignore the plight of the Palestinian people. It's all a ruse, they don't care about us they are just using us to push agenda.

Putin has ran out of the moral cause for his war. And now he is paying the price. Take a look at what happened in Kalingrad the other day. Lithuania decoupled totally from the old Russian power grid and as a result, Kalingrad gets no power now.
Basically his recent border provocations of surrounding neighbors has exhausted any goodwill he might have gotten at this point and it undercuts his two friends he has in the EU like Orban and the Slovak president.
Trump has washed his hands of resolving the conflict which is now increasingly Putin v. Europe keeping the war machine turned on for no good reason other than both Zelensky and Putin probably fear what happens to them after the war machine is turned off.

And here's something else to consider - mental illness has become trendy, something to be celebrated, something to be chased for clout. It's also being reframed into identity rather than a disability or disorder. This is most obvious to us in the case of autism and gender dysphoria, but we've already seen this in the case of physical disabilities as well, e.g. the "deaf community," from which you can get cast out and ostracized for getting cochlear implants. Actual treatment, amelioration, or cure is recast as an elimination of a person's identity in part or in whole. Thus the "trans genocide" and "you're killing us trans people" madness.

Yup. I'm sure you get 'Heavenly' points for ministering to the destitute like Somali's BUT NOT by bringing them - an essentially un-assimilable culture - here to the US. Minister to them in their home country and you have my respect. Bring them here to destroy ours and you're now my enemy.

But you hate this country. And you will yell and scream about what a bunch of evil warmongers anyone is who wants to defend their country.
It requires higher order thinking your conspiracy addled mind cannot grasp, but by dealing with the idiots and assholes of the world far from our shores, it minimizes the ability to effect things HERE. Sitting around waiting for Japan to attack us at Pearl Harbor cost 3000 lives and put us behind the curve for awhile after that. (I knew a guy in grad school who said we should have immediately apologized to Japan after Pearl Harbor, and simply sold them anything they asked for; and if they turned the Pacific into a Japanese lake, so be it. Doubtless you totally agree with him.)
I want power projection, deterrence, peace through strength, and the implementation of DIME in foreign policy. But I actually care about the country, my fellow citizens, and freedom.

Margaret Thatcher dispatched the fleet to reconquer the Falklands, even though the fleet wasn't completely ready (a lot of stuff was flown to Ascension Island, and loaded onto the ships there).
When asked why she sent the fleet early, she responded that she wanted to dispatch the fleet while public outrage was still at a fever pitch.

Word is the bishop and his first counselor were shot, a brother I know was killed, and the building has collapsed.
My uncle was called to the flint ward last year but lives behind the Grand Blanc church. The membership at the Flint ward were escorted out of the church by police after the primary program after the news broke.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints specifically proscribed its member from carrying weapons in the building, unless you are required by your profession to be armed at all times as is the requirement for most federal, state, county, and city law enforcement agencies.
I can see an inspired Bishop working within this framework to provide armed security.

True crime, 1980s Savannah. In an elite, gentrified district, a wealthy antique dealer shot and killed a young man in his home. This is the story of the Savannah elite, neighborhood dynamics, beautiful architecture, community secrets, gay life, trans life before it was trendy, and even some voodoo.
I'd read reviews complaining that it's boring and dry reading, but I think it's a good account of true crime that reads more like a novel than news report. I liked it.
Goodreads immediately recommended the autobiography of one of the main characters (the drag queen Lady Chablis), but I think I'll pass on that one.

One book is my personal copy of The Rules of the Game: Jutland and British Naval Command by Andrew Gordon. I went through an ILL hardback and decided the analysis was so important that I needed my own copy.
The discussion is still highly relevant to today. The USN as an organization has not had a major conflict in 80 years. Naval Aviators, Submariners, and recently a ship of two in the Red Sea or Eastern Med have faced combat. But not all together.

Very entertaining, finished it off in an all-day reading binge that put me behind on several other tasks I need to finish, but totally worth it.
Wolf and Mariella join the Royal Navy in the Kingdom of Iraklis (a kingdom composed of three star systems, outside the Empire of Solaria.) Here they 'find their better place' - Wolf had been a privateer under letter of Marque by the King, and Mariella... well, you'll learn a lot more about her in this book. She's got a major role to play in a war that's being thrust on the Kingdom by a third player.
This series will be at least three books, and knowing John, it'll probably go to 4 or 5.
It is available from Raconteur Press and Amazon. The first two books have been released in two formats: First, serialized (about 1/3 of the book at a time, every week) which is then replaced by a release of the entire book. The book has an addendum with additional detail that isn't released with the serial. Howver, if you want the story earlier, go for the serial.

Last Spring I mailed a couple stacks of comic books off to a binders, and this week, after nearly 5 months, they sent me back a package of three brand new custom-bound hardcover books! Entire comic book runs, now in a single volume. To be read in a single sitting, or just perused at me leisure. And capable of being proudly displayed on my bookshelf, rather than just squirreled away in a box!
It's so satisfying to finally have these. No matter what else is going on in my life, or in the world at large, for now I can look at these and thing that life is good!
...And since I'm happy with these, it's time to prepare the next batch of comics to be bound! I could easily see myself ending up with a full shelf of these.

Howdy, Horde.
Haven't read Moby Dick in something like 40 years and should probably revisit. Read the thing on morning and evening CTA rides from Rogers Park to work at the downtown Chicago Kroch's & Brentano's. Made the commute a lot more pleasant. When Melville spent page after page on the minutiae of whaling, I tended to skim a bit. But it's a heckuva story. And the movie with Gregory Peck and Richard Basehart ain't too dusty either.

I was up late finishing a historical fantasy that reimagines the French Revolution with magic.
Main characters are Wiliam Pitt the Younger (PM), William Wilberforce (abollitionist), Robespierrre (ya him), Camille Desmoulins, and a slave girl in the Carribean.
It's very politicial, and follows historical events pretty closely, except that in this world magic is known and ightly controlled - only aristoscrats can use it. Everyone is tested at birth, and commoners with magic are braceleted to cause pain & also alarms if they use magic.
The style is reminds me of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, but no footnotes.
It ends a bit cliffhangery and there is a sequel. It's a book you will either love or be bored with.

Wormold is a simple man who just runs a shop in Havana, and when he is tasked with finding operators to help him spy, he chooses some names at random, and invents stories from them to report back to London. His reports are believable, along with his drawing of a vacuum cleaner nozzle he labels as a weapon. London even sends agents to help him expand his operation. Unfortunately, when one of his fake sources dies, and another is shot at, the fake world becomes all too real. Instead of a joke, the situation becomes deadly.
As things spiral out of control, Wormold and his team have to try and protect the people he blithely named as spies, and find out who is trying to kill them. Greene's story is very dark humor, where the spy agencies will fall for anything, and throw money around on the slightest pretext, but will also kill without a second thought.

My review based on that sample (on the principle that you don't have to drink the whole quart of milk to know it's sour): So you've got the 2024 election going, and the fate of the country (maybe the world) depends on the outcome, good vs evil, all that. How the bleeping bleepity bleep do you make that dull? Kamala Harris managed it with her usual incoherent aplomb.

The main character is...surprisingly girl-bossy. She was a passenger on a ship that got taken over by pirates, but then she kills the pirate skipper and takes command for herself, instantly becoming brilliant badass at all things...That would be infuriating in a modern story, but here it's just slightly annoying. Mostly because the story is not trying to showcase her brilliance, her actions are just what push the plot forward. There are lots other, more believable (if just as eccentric) characters that take up most of the screentime. Particularly an English Privateer and his Solomon-Kane-like sidekick.
It really is a pity the comic ended prematurely.

I ordered syth-sewn binding. They unfold the comic, take out the staples, and run some thread through the fold of the comic, physically sewing each book to some connecting cloth/something that serves as the interior spine. It's a similar process to how old-fashioned books were bound. The outside edges or the books are trimmed to make the book look clean.
There are other options for glued binding, where they cut the pages at the binding (the pages probably loose an eighth of an inch or something) and then set the whole text block in glue, binding it like a paperback novel. But I went with smyth-sewn because it lets the book open better, letting you see the art all the way to the center of the page.

I'd think most writers are both. I start out with an idea and see how it goes along, then start plotting out the end game. I've never started with a plan and used it all the way through, and also never pantsed all the way through.
I started a few pages on the most recent WIP, then like a lightning bolt, the whole story popped into my head. That's never happened before. Now, I just have to finish writing it.

The discussion is still highly relevant to today. The USN as an organization has not had a major conflict in 80 years. Naval Aviators, Submariners, and recently a ship of two in the Red Sea or Eastern Med have faced combat. But not all together.

You might like to look at Portrait of an Admiral by Arthur Marder. The first half is the bio of the foremost intellectual naval officer of RN in that era (he founded Britain' Naval Review.) But the best part is the 2nd half which is Richmond's journal for the WWI period. He's pretty harsh on most everyone. "I think Winston is mad."

"WhaleFall", which is currently being made into a movie.
In the novel. a diver is accidentally swallowed by a Sperm Whale and the whale proceeds to die, which means the diver has to get out of the whale digestive tract before it falls to a depth where the pressure will kill him.
No, he doesn't escape that way, you perverts!
It's a good high concept sort of thing for a movie, if not terribly cinematic, cuz it turns out the inside of a whale isn't like it is in Pinocchio. Real whales are stuffed with tightly packed guts, not wrecked ships! Who knew?
Anyway, the novel would be a novella or long short story in normal hands because the solution is obvious and fairly quickly achieved, but for-
the protagonists (can you guess?) Daddy issues!!!!
So, in typical H'wood fashion most of the book is taken up with "Whyyyyy? Daddy?" cuz the guy is a failure in life, etc.
And this silliness eats up most of the novels pages and I'm sure the movie's time.
You'll be glad to know that the protag gets out by resolving his Daddy issues, and gains a new appreciation for Dad and life and the sea.

As a book, it was a slog.

"The sea was speaking to him in silence. Its message was: as your spirit rises to fill the place of appetites and illusions, take stock and be comforted, for all time is lost in the oceans and the stars. You've left behind the things of life on land that shield you from a truth the sea will not let you forget -- that you are first and last a spirit, that you are alone, and that this can be borne."

But Moby Dick doesn't work for me. No female characters. Boring.
But I think it illustrates something else about our tastes. Well, maybe just mine. I grew up in a small town in MT. Didn't go east of Minneapolis until I left for college. No way I could picture an ocean. I suspect people who grew up in New England would have as much trouble picturing the neverending-ness of the Great Plains.

Ruse, El Cazador, and The Path. (All old CrossGen titles). the Path got its own volume. Ruse had to be split into two parts, with the second part going behind the all-too-short El Cazador.
I am greatly enjoying them. Even The Path; its art style never quite grabbed me, but the story is fun, and the single-volume format makes it easy to go from one issue to the next.

Are there any recommendations for actual good steampunk stories? The only times I've tried to dip into the genre, I ended up getting deconstruction/tasteless filth with a steampunk veneer. Never really got an actual good steampunk epic.
Except maybe the original Jules Verne stories. And book (It may have been called Nemo) that pretended that the historical Jules Verne had a childhood friend that actually went on many of the crazy adventures that Jules 'fictionalized' in his stories...

It's old, from 2018, and I am stunned by what I'm learning, and ashamed of my relative naivete about this whole issue all along. This guy is an accomplished computer scientist who worked on the team that developed the flagship commercial virtual reality products. He's got at least three other books that look to be worthwhile.
There was a massive automated astroturf messaging campaign two weeks ago, "Tyler Robinson Was MAGA," that flooded X for a whole weekend. It remained effective for days afterward in driving the narrative, for Dems anyway. I was so distressed by it that I nuked my X account. We're going to have to deal with many more of these evil automated propaganda campaigns in the future. It's scary how so many people get suckered by this vile crap.

I still have what I bought. I'm debating whether to take some runs to the secondhand book store to trade in. That would free some storage space and slightly lessen the burden on the kids, who will someday have to dispose of them in the way that I'm having to send along my late father's accumulation.

Aye, and this is the great chasm we look across at all literature from before motion pictures. We like a concise story, and the conciser the better. All the fleshing out is done for us by cinematographers, and by actors' gesture and inflection.
When people had a lot of time on their hands, many read "By the pound"; the more detail, subplot, diversions into abstruse knowledge and side stories of the characters' past, the more entertainment they gained from those big fat triple-deckers. It's a fortunate book lover today who can take that view. We live in a different world.

Those needles are great family heirlooms. That would be like having some of the tools my ancestors used on their Quebec farms, which I don't. You are right about location. I've never been west of the Mississippi and would be amazed at the prairies and mountains out there. But growing up in New England let me appreciate stories of whaling and sea battles. My hometown had a connection with pirates in the 1600s and 1700s which added a spark to my love for Treasure Island in second grade.
That said, I have to be in the mood for Moby Dick with the slow, incremental pace of the story and pages of description that don't advance the plot.

It does have some very vivid, likeable characters so he hit it out of the park there.

Yes. Each chapter is only a few pages long. If you don't have it already, there is a Kindle version for 99 cents called "Sketches by Boz: Premium Edition (Unabridged, Illustrated, Table of Contents)". It uses the original illustrations by Browne and Cruikshank.

Having flown several PARPRO missions myself over the Sea of Okhotsk in 1989, I found the book riveting in its detailed summaries of early-to-mid Cold War U.S. reconnaissance flights gathering intelligence on the Soviets. Most disturbing, however, was the U.S. government flat out lying to family members of those who lost their lives on some of those missions.
If you're 29+ and of the Cold War age where "duck and cover" was practiced in your schools -- and you are into actual military history as opposed to historical fiction -- this book would be a good read for you.

The main driver in Michigan was the Michigan Coalition for Responsible Gun Ownership, which pushed through the change to shall-issue carry back in 1999.
Unfortunately, the term-limited GOP House Speaker decided that it would be a cushy gig and launched a coup, putting himself in charge and proceeded to do nothing but the usual lobbyist bullshit. The organizers quit, and no one has been able to pick up the pieces since, which is why Ohio - which lagged Michigan - now has Constitutional Carry and we still have the retarded pistol registry.
Meanwhile the NRA is completely invisible. Screw them.
In terms of reading, their magazines suck. First Freedom is just shameless self-promotion and The American Rifleman is too pedestrian. I get far more value collecting early editions of Smalll Arms of the World because they have the WW I stuff in it. The later ones include AKs, so you need both.

Society at all levels was much more serious then, and less obsessed with safety. Risk was an accepted part of life.
It was more moral, but less moralistic. There was an understanding that not every decision was angels vs devils.
What pisses me off the most is the revisionism where the US was the aggressor, forcing the peaceful Communists to produce 50 million AKs and send them all over the world.

Tea is actually a type of medicine or was intended as such. It’s under some study in recent years for interesting bactericidal properties. Tannins, or polyphenols, have interesting properties on gut health, killing off bad critters in our gut biome. Also shows some interesting properties against oral or gum diseases due to bacteria.

Yesterday's yard sale was a success, albeit monetarily not as much so. In the course of its four hours we disposed of many of the non-furniture items (I sold off my pair of snow shoes and on the Delmarva peninsula, no less).
As the rule in effect for our sale was, "Nothing comes back into the house to stay", the next week will see several trips to disperse the remaining items to deserving charities. The missus gas become gratifyingly open to the idea of purging our dwelling of its innumerable cluttering items.

No.
Can individual Googlets spun off from Google be trusted?
No; don't be silly.
Can a swarm of Googlets that resulted from smashing Google to smithereens be trusted?
No again.
They all would be fruit of the poisonous tree that is Google.

In all fairness, that statement from TSU makes the claim that
"Today, a group of individuals unaffiliated with Tennessee State University appeared on campus without prior notice. In accordance with university police, any demonstration or protest requires advance approval and permitting."
in reference to
"a group of people reportedly attempting to engage TSU students in a debate in the quad with speakers, signs and a table"
And if that is true, that was alarmingly stupid of the outside group. Get a permit, guys.

I'm about to do something I think I've never done before, which is assert every bit of whatever authority I have as the person who discovered and wrote down the rules of open source.
After ten years of drama and idiocy, lots of people other than me are now willing to say in public that "Codes of Conduct" have been a disaster - a kind of infectious social insanity producing lots of drama and politics and backbiting, and negative useful work.
Here is my advice about codes of conduct:
1. Refuse to have one. If your project has one, delete it. The only actual function they have is as a tool in the hands of shit-stirrers.
2. If you're stuck with having one for bureaucratic reasons, replace it with the following sentence or some close equivalent: "If you are more annoying to work with than your contributions justify, you'll be ejected."
3. Attempts to be more specific and elaborate don't work. They only provide control surfaces for shit-stirrers to manipulate.

I have a Huron Kansas and a couple of smaller Huion digitizers, basically Wacom Bamboo equivalents. Literally; I noticed that most tablets are manufactured from the same Shinzhen plants, and the only things that set them apart is the software and fancy Wacom logo, which is really what you're paying for.
If you aren't obsessed with having Wacom branding, Huion and many of the other brands are basically the same thing without the pricetag of a mid-size sedan.

Saturday Night "Club ONT" September 27, 2025 [The 3 Ds]
Saturday Night Jokes and Other Funnies My boss was honest with me today. He pulled up to work with his sweet new car this morning and I complimented him on it. He replied, "Well, if you work hard, set goals, stay determined and put in long hours, I can get an even better one next year." *** On his 74th birthday, an old man received a gift certificate from his wife... The certificate paid for a visit to a medicine man living on a nearby reservation who was rumored to have a wonderful cure for erectile dysfunction. After being persuaded to go, he drove to the reservation, handed his ticket to the medicine man and wondered what he was in for. The old man handed a potion to him, and with a grip on his shoulder, warned, "This is a powerful medicine. You take only a teaspoon and then say '1-2-3'." When you do, you will become more manly than you have ever been in your life and you can perform as long as you want." The man was encouraged. As he walked away, he turned and asked, "How do I stop the medicine from working?" "Your partner must say '1-2-3-4,'" the medicine man responded, "but when she does, the medicine will not work again until the next full moon." The man was very eager to see if it worked so he went home, showered, shaved, took a spoonful of the medicine and then invited his wife to join him in the bedroom. When she came in, he quickly took off his clothes and said, "1-2-3!" Immediately, he was the manliest of men. His wife was excited and began throwing off her clothes as she asked "What was the 1-2-3 for?"

An effort two decades in the making has finally come to fruition for Anheuser-Busch. Despite being considered a cheap beer to avoid, according to customer reviews (and ranking near the bottom of our own taste test of America's top-selling beers), Michelob Ultra has become king of the hill among beer brands. By topping the sales by volume charts for 2025, it has ousted Modelo Especial as America's best-selling beer.Really? Michelob Ultra? Who? Serious question - does this resonate with the Horde? Do you drink Michelob Ultra or know those that do? Perfect setup for this scene from Landman
Tito’s, founded by Bert “Tito” Beveridge in 1997, has grown into one of the most recognized vodka brands in the United States. Lalo, which was founded in 2019 by Eduardo “Lalo” González, David “R” Carballido, and Jim McDermott, builds on González’s family legacy of tequila making. The brand’s blanco is distilled from Highland agave, local Jalisco water and champagne yeast.
Beveridge said the partnership grew out of shared values and a longstanding friendship.
“I’ve known the Lalo founders for a long time. They care about the juice. They keep it simple. They do things the right way, not the flashy way. That felt like home to us,” he said in a statement.
Our study was conducted in a slightly steamy pop-up laboratory inside four connected shipping containers at Lowlands Festival in The Netherlands (August 18–20, 2023). Participants completed an anonymous questionnaire on hygiene, diet, and festival-related behaviour (including alcohol uptake and shared sleeping arrangements).
Amongst the 465 included participants, mosquitoes showed a clear fondness for those who drank beer over those who abstained from the liquid gold.
The Mosquito Magnet Trial, to our knowledge the largest study of its kind, was conducted in a loosely controlled setting with a selection bias towards science loving festivalgoers. That said, using our custom designed experimental set-up, we found that mosquitoes are drawn to those who avoid sunscreen, drink beer, and share their bed. They simply have a taste for the hedonists among us.

Hard to believe, but it has been 1 year since I had my visit with my urologist to figure out why I had recurrent antibiotic-resistant UTIs.
That visit started us down the cancer rabbit hole.
Last October I had imaging done. The day before last year's Texas MoMe -which was also the weekend of my 64th birthday - I found out that I had a large mass and several smaller lesions in my liver, which (along with other indications) were suspicious for cancer.
Early last November, I was told that I did, indeed have a very aggressive type of cancer; if I did nothing I might live an additional 6 months, and even if I did something, I probably only had an additional 6-12 months left.
Through the grace of God - and the prayers of so many people - I am still here. I still don't feel sick, my tumors are shrinking, and my prognosis (knock on wood) is much improved since this time last year.
Thank you to everyone who has been following me on this journey, and to everyone who has prayed on my behalf. Your support has buoyed me and my family over these last 12 months. 😊♥️

A truck with legit looking paperwork rolled up, loaded 1,000 cases of several kinds of their product and vanished. It took them a week to discover the loss.
Now, no accusations here, or even hints, but the TXMOME is coming soon.

The Ryder Cup- The Eurofags just want it more. They look forward to it. They look at like a Major. It's hugely promoted it on the Euro PGA Tour. It's why they've won more of them the last couple of decades. They desire it more. Talent wise, both teams are equal. The American's just don't give a shit about it.
Coach James Franklin, proving once again, he can't win the big game. 17-3 Oregon. Game is at Penn State. OSU is going to crush PSU. There defense much better than Oregon's.

A similar ruse was effected at a 7-11 ATM. A confederate placed an “out of order” sign on the unit the day prior. The next day a van rolled up with two guys in some sort of uniform. “We’re here to pick up the ATM”

Hard to believe, but it has been 1 year since I had my visit with my urologist to figure out why I had recurrent antibiotic-resistant UTIs.
That visit started us down the cancer rabbit hole.
Last October I had imaging done. The day before last year's Texas MoMe -which was also the weekend of my 64th birthday - I found out that I had a large mass and several smaller lesions in my liver, which (along with other indications) were suspicious for cancer.
Early last November, I was told that I did, indeed have a very aggressive type of cancer; if I did nothing I might live an additional 6 months, and even if I did something, I probably only had an additional 6-12 months left.
Through the grace of God - and the prayers of so many people - I am still here. I still don't feel sick, my tumors are shrinking, and my prognosis (knock on wood) is much improved since this time last year.
Thank you to everyone who has been following me on this journey, and to everyone who has prayed on my behalf. Your support has buoyed me and my family over these last 12 months. 😊♥️

Next CT scan is on November 3rd, at which time the oncological surgeon is pretty sure that my tumors will be small enough for him to go in and remove the largest one surgically and blast the remaining smaller ones to smithereens.
I have had abdominal surgery in the past, so I already know what to expect in terms of recovery (although it has been 10 years since then). But this will give me the best chance of long-term survival.
I have had a "fun" year fulfilling some of the items on my bucket list - spent a LOT of money doing that, but I have NO regrets as far as that goes. Our anniversary party probably ran as much as the cruise that we cancelled - it was money well spent!

Mooses come walking up over the hill.
Mooses come walking. They rarely stand still
When mooses come walking, they walk where they will.
And mooses come walking up over the hill.
Mooses look into your window at night.
They look to the left and they look to the right.
The mooses are smiling; they think it’s a zoo.
That’s why the mooses like looking at you.
So, if you see mooses while lying in bed,
It’s best to just stay there, pretending you’re dead.
The mooses will leave, and you’ll get the thrill
Of seeing the mooses go over the hill.

It won't shock you, but I have the full listing open on my laptop right now. 25 in total.
Their T-Rex is "slightly used" but "well loved." Apparently they have two. Can't pick up until after Nov 9.

$.65 six packs of Black Label back in the mid 80's.

I was in the forward CP and every night we had set up I would sneak the Air Officers out of camp and we wouid swing back an play OpFor, testing security etc. Nothing too serious, it almost became a 2 week game of who could spot us before we could tag them. Mainly because Air Officers are so cool, the troops relax. It 's a bit like when the strict parents leave Ocean's 11 in charge while they're out of town.
Well on this particular leg we 0-12 which really impressed me. I was so busy trying to figure out how these lazy jackwagons (HeadQuarters) had sharpened up so quickly. Someone finally busted out laughing that they could smell onions before I was even im their sector, the rascals. Gunny questioned my common sense and before I could distract (because he was on to something) our wicked smart FAC let slip that we were eating onions and radishes to better simulate the Russian OpFor (which was news to me at the time)
Anyway, no mosquitoes were harmed in this story because they cant stand onions

The Operational Command of the Polish Armed Forces states that Polish and allied aircraft have been scrambled due to the activity of Russian long-range aviation currently carrying out strikes against targets in Western Ukraine. In addition to the scramble of on-duty fighter pairs, ground-based air defense systems as well as radar reconnaissance have reached a state of highest readiness across Poland

PBR (in bottles) was my go to in California. About 10.25 for a 12 pack, but then you add that stupid CRV tax. Still the cheapest good beer available there. Of the Big 3, I could drink Miller High Life, or Genuine Draft, but they don't match PBR on price or taste.
Now that I'm in Florida, I can get Yeungling for about 25 bucks for a case. Just today, however, I found this Mexican supermarket called Bravo, and there I picked up a Polish beer called Brok. 9.99 for a 12 pack, and lemme tell ya, it reminded me of Becks when Becks was still a proper German lager. Crisp, with maybe a hint of green apple ahead of a palate-cleansing hop bite. Half-point deduction for the 11.2 oz bottle (I hate that - lookin' at you, Stella Artois). Have I mentioned lately how much I love Florida?

Days are really getting shorter. Here at 34.75N, we lost 62 minutes of daylight over Sept. Up higher, Seattle, it's around 1hr40m or so.
I missed the "equilux" this time, which was the 26th, the closest day and night are to 12 hours each. Around this time, maybe peaking Oct 1, here, is when twilight is the shortest. It gets dark really fast after sunset. It's the angle the ecliptic makes with the horizon. The angle of the solar dangle, you might call it.

Per Wiki: "The use of the terms reindeer and caribou for essentially the same animal can cause confusion, but the ICUN clearly delineates the issue: "Reindeer is the European name for the species of Rangifer, while in North America, Rangifer species are known as Caribou."[2][41] The word reindeer is an anglicized version of the Old Norse words hreinn ("reindeer") and dýr ("animal") and has nothing to do with reins.[42] The word caribou comes through French, from the Mi'kmaq qalipu, meaning "snow shoveler", and refers to its habit of pawing through the snow for food.

Hmmpph. This is interesting. We think of "the die is cast" as meaning we've crossed the event horizon (Rubicon), the point of no return. Our course is irreversible.
However, the way Caesar actually said and meant it might be better translated as "the game is afoot!" or maybe more "Let's roll" in the sense of I'm going make that high stakes bet.

The Walkout [Lex]
Before this year, the only movie I remember walking out of was Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill (2003). Undoubtedly there were others, but I can’t recall any specifically. I’m sure I wanted to walk out of many movies in my film school years, but I took naps instead of earning poor grades.
Why do I remember, so sharply, bailing on Kill Bill? For one thing, I was having a hard time believing Uma Thurman could battle twenty men with swords, and, even more, I was having a hard time believing the man who gave us Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction couldn’t do better in his maturer years. The older Tarantino got, the more juvenile his pictures became, and I’d had enough of him.Fast forward to July 2025 when I walked –flew— out of Superman. It would take an entire post to detail what was wrong with the movie, but let me summarize by saying this: the writing was lousy. Its effects and action were not memorable and its glibness was irritating. Story, mise en scene, dialogue. When all three fail to intrigue early in the going, how can a movie recover? I hadn’t thought there was much meaning behind my walkout of Kill Bill—only that I didn’t like it. But now, with the landscape of cinema irreversibly changed, I was inspired to muse on the walkout: if I was abandoning an American icon and the greatest super hero of them all that had to mean something. What is the cultural meaning of a walkout then and now? Does the act still have relevance? Did it ever?
***
When thinking about walkouts, I keep coming back to that scene from Singin’ in the Rain, where Don Lockwood looks on in horror, as an audience leaves the end of his first talkie with Lina Lamont. The people are mocking her voice, and he knows he’ll be ruined if he continues to work with her in the post-silent era. That scene was not so much about a walkout, but an indicator that audience opinion mattered and producers lived in fear of it.
Despite the alteration of the movie viewing experience, people still go to the cinema. Box office does matter, and James Gunn surely pours over the digital trades to see what each weekend’s returns are. What really has been lost is the communal experience of going to a movie—and along with that the power of the walkout. There are profound psychological phenomena that occur when watching a film with others, whether friends or strangers. There is shared joy and displeasure. There’s the cut up and the too-loud whisperer. There’s something you might not laugh at unless someone else did. Yawns can be contagious and stray comments can be affirming or annoying. And on that rare occasion: the mass walkout. But did the mass walkout hurt or harm a picture? Public relations flaks surely could reframe a mass walkout as “see what’s got everyone so worked up,” but Don Lamont didn’t even consider putting lipstick on a pig. No, a mass walkout was the kind of word of mouth that was bad for business. Is it the same today? I think not because the theater-going experience, even in its diminished state, is far different. In many cineplexes, a seat barely touches the one adjacent to it. They recline and have foot rests. It’s more like flying first class than watching a film. These changes, I’m hazarding a guess, have made the mass walkout –once an emphatic and noteworthy statement—highly unlikely. A stray departure here and there is always the way it’s going to be, but as I left Superman I thought, perhaps in days gone by, others would have followed. I grew up in Concord, Massachusetts –in the shadow of Henry David Thoreau— but in the darkness of the movie theater I’m not sure a “majority of one” means anything.
***
What may have been more noteworthy about my walkout was the reaction on social media when I announced I had left the movie. I didn’t intend to stir up trouble, but relating my early departure from Superman turned more heads than the act of leaving itself. Kill Bill was released in 2003, and back then I had nowhere to post my thoughts. Yes, the internet existed, but it was nascent. I’m not even sure I had a cell phone in 2003. And even if I did there were no apps, and social media’s hottest thing going was My Space (remember that?). Two criticisms emerged above others. First: how could I know Superman was bad if I left at the mid-point? Second, so I was admonished: “it’s a movie; just go with it, bro (or brah).” Let’s take the second part first. By this rationale, anything put on screen, simply because it’s there, deserves praise. No matter how illogical, no matter how ill-conceived or expositional, you have to dismiss all of this because “it’s a movie.” Have the fanboys no limit beyond which they can be pushed? As for not thinking I can criticize a movie because I didn’t remain for all of it, my simple reply has been, ‘if you can’t interest me in the first hour, how will you change my mind in hour two?’ There are slow burns and then there are flame outs, and for me Superman ran out of oxygen after forty-five minutes. After some back and forth with my interlocutors, I realized debate was going to be difficult. Like almost everything these days, discussion has become tribal and pseudo-religious. My walkout on Superman was less a departure from a disappointing movie and more akin to spitting on someone’s deity. Of course, Superman did well financially, and my walkout, whether trumpeted or not, was never going to be harmful. Movies surely bomb, but that’s because no one goes to see them in the first place, so walkouts might not be harmful because they occur after the theater has your money. When critics had immense cultural cache a bad review could derail a film. If Pauline Kael announced she had walked out of a certain picture that might be enough to sink a movie’s fortunes. But then again, she also couldn’t understand how Nixon won because no one she knew voted for him.
***
If you sense my ambivalence about the walkout, you are on point. It’s an immeasurable thing. Instinct tells me it may have had more impact in the past, but a hunch doesn’t always solve the case.
Perhaps a political film could inspire a walkout, but since opposing camps generally refuse to see one another’s work at all there is no singing in the rain—only singing to the choir. Michael Moore fans are more likely to boycott a Dinseh D’Souza film, not attend it and walkout. And vice versa.
At this stage, there are no facts in evidence, so I can only solicit opinions. What are your thoughts on the walkout, past and present? What in-theater films have you abandoned? Turning the channel, pausing the stream, or swiping off don’t count. If you’ve made it to the end of this post, I know you will have not walked out on me, and I’d like to hear other opinions on this subject.

Yeah, Kill Bill was not so much a "straight" movie, as it was catching a vibe, a mood from a bygone era, and trying to do something other than just tell the story.
I kinda think that's been most of Tarantino's career. I understand people who don't like it, but it's art. In its own way, it is an artistic approach to filmmaking, with homage to other's work, a fantasy of one man's musings. Like him or not, it ain't boring.

I'm kind of on the fence about walking out of a movie, For starters, I've paid the bill so I may as well see what my money bought. Your point about viewing the movie from first class seating is well taken, as the theater where we attend has food delivery and a full bar. If the movie is not to my liking, then I can at least get drunk and maybe it will improve the show, even if I am uninterested in the outcome.
On the other hand... your time is valuable to you if nobody else. There is no obligation or sense of duty to finish an expensive movie just to get the 135 minute experience or whatever. Perhaps there is something more valuable that you can be doing with your time.
And on the gripping hand: if I've decided to see a movie, then I've already decided there my time can be wasted staring at the screen and stuffing my face.

BUT, there is one film that sticks out in that regard. "Taxi Driver" was not received well at all at Cannes. It debuted in 1976, and solicited some walk-outs as well as outright booing from the audience when it was announced that it won the Palme d'Or.
However, I'd say Cannes is an outlier. Those that usually attend the premiers there are self-important idiots who like to make a spectacle of themselves.

I, actually, enjoyed the campy nonsense of "Road Trip." Sure, it was stupid, and seemed to be inadvertently be going after the 5th grader demographic. But, it had its moments. The other night we were talking about sending food back to the kitchen at a restaurant, and why that might be a bad idea. "Road Trip" has a scene in that light...and it convinced me never to send anything back to the kitchen.

Rotten Tomatoes screwed the pooch by putting their thumb on the scale, but it guess it was inevitable. If there really are only a dozen stories to tell, then critics must get bored revising the 4 or 5 critiques to each one, eventually SOME outside force will have a seat at the table. How can it NOT go corrupt.
Only movie I walked out of was a Monty Python that was all farts and vomits. Didn't pay attention to the summary because we were 16 looking for a place to makeout. Never made that mistake again.

Based on a solid short story by Isaac Asimov,
It was a horrible movie, that I kept watching, thinking, "surely, this will get better"
It didn't, and I finally did leave before it was over.
Truly, a rancid reimagining of a story I knew well and liked.
Lordy, I just went to IMDB and watched the trailer. Even the trailer sucked.

Just curious, what's your objection to the scene?
Not unlike Inglorious Basterds, there's certainly an "ultraviolence" aspect to it... if I can borrow that term.
I have to admit though, apparently I'm the target audience for Tarantino flicks.

I liked the new Superman.
Was it great? No. But, it was a good, solid Superman movie.
I was grew up in and was a fan of Silver Age Superman. I read the comics.
James Gunn gets Silver Age Superman more or less. Snyder didn't get him at all.
Yeah, Gunn's snarky and jokey in the same way that Tarantino is, so I get why you'd walk out on both if you don't like that kind of dealio.
I'm glad the audience liked the movie so we'll get another one in '27???

The first was James Toback's "The Gambler" with James Caan. I have a problem with movies about gambling, because they never make the disease clear and compelling. I get it, it's an addiction, but present that better in your film.
The second was Horde-fave "An American Werewolf in London." I couldn't believe I was watching something so stupid, and so determined to shove its stupidity relentlessly in my face. (After everyone said what an awesome movie it is, greatest ever in fact, I bought the 4K. Still stupid. Yes, the effects are great. I can say "The effects are great" about Day of the Dead, too.)
I was the only one who didn't walk out of Norman Mailer's "Maidstone" when it played at the AFI theater. It was an endurance test and I wasn't going to let that film--the worst film ever made, IMHO--beat me.

And just to be pedantic, the episode of South Park had manatees as the writers of Family Guy.
It also featured a Bart Simpson who teams up with Cartman to try to get Family Guy taken off the air, because, in a meta sense, they were both tired of having their characters and story lines compared to the dreck that was and is, Family Guy.

But I will say that I do really miss the tribal experience of being in a darkened theater when the house lights go down and the big curtains part, and the 20th Century Fox Fanfare cuts loose and you have a feeling that you're going on a great ride with a whole bunch of wonderful people in the dark.
But this Nostalgia is based on going to the movies in the 70s and '80s and '90s. If rude audience members have ruined the experience, shame on them. I do remember a thoroughly unpleasant experience when I went to see a re-release of Gone with the Wind and a couple of asswipes were down in front, young white males, and when Melanie's death scene was playing, which is a real heartbreaker, they were laughing and giggling and making stupid remarks and I wanted to crack their skulls together. They ruined the entire movie.

But seeing a movie like that was special that then because you couldn't see it anywhere else! We didn't even have VCR players yet, let alone infinite movie availability on internet or cable, and cable didn't exist yet either. You either caught it at the theater or you never got to see it so the excitement level was quite high.

Not just to offend the squares, but "his sort of people" as well.
And not in a half-assed John Waters kind of way.
Watch "The Devils" or "Mahler" and you'll see what I mean.
I kinda love "Altered States" though. Probably, the studio put him on a leash cuz in was a Paddy Chayefsky (Network) screenplay from his novel.
So, Ol' Ken could make a crowd-pleaser when he wished he just didn't wish to I guess.
Same dealio with Lindsey Anderson with "If..." and "O Lucky Man" and (barf) Brittanica Hospital.
Walk outs probably don't mean much cuz all movies are previewed and audience-proofed to death or crammed into a political box.

That's hilarious.
Personally, I thought the dialogue in that movie was, absolutely, atrocious. There is a scene where the cabin is filling up with water and the two main characters are intensely trying to escape....and every single piece of dialogue starts with the other character's name even though they are the only two in the room. No one talks like that.

"I, Robot" was a faithful homage to the Three Laws if robots do get to be more powerful than men.
It was a bad movie but I'd argue it was a "proper" adaptation. Might be about as good as you can get from the material.
I think that Asimov tends to be more of an indirect source of ideas than a direct source, true. The Galactic Empire and the Mule inspired Dune. Star Wars too.
Back to "I, Robot": where movie androids exist who aren't the baddies they do tend to namecheck the Three Laws. Data cites them in TNG.

For me it was the movie "Drag me to Hell". I'd rented it because the cover looked interesting, and I thought, "Maybe it's akin to Evil Dead?" I couldn't have been more wrong.
The movie opened with a scene where someone was was torturing a small helpless kitten.
NOPE. Eff this. I hit eject on the remote, put the DVD back in its case and drove right back to the store. I told them I wasn't watching it, and why.
To their credit, the store refunded me my money and credited my account for two more movie rentals, on the house. (Smart people, they didn't want a customer who had had a bad movie experience to associate that with the store.)

I lost my keys when I took my god-daughter, her sister and their two friends to the movies. They were about ages 6 to 10. We saw the first movie and I realised the keys were gone and called their father asking him to bring my spare.
Good mews for the girls. Double Feature! Starship Troopers it is.
That lasted about 15 minutes before we left. They let us in to see Baby Geniuses. I just kept walking in and out to see if my friend was there and to check on the girls. Horrible movie. Wantes to claw my eyes out and puncture my eardrums.

156: I liked Solaris (original version) a lot but it can be a slog. A Soviet era movie so it's production values are slightly better than 70s era Dr Who. It's not an action movie. Very cerebral but also well done. The sense of dread and general weirdness kept my interest anyway.

Based on a solid short story by Isaac Asimov,
It was a horrible movie, that I kept watching, thinking, "surely, this will get better"
It didn't, and I finally did leave before it was over.
Truly, a rancid reimagining of a story I knew well and liked.
Lordy, I just went to IMDB and watched the trailer. Even the trailer sucked.

Never read the story, but my friends and I all read the Foundation series and Robot series at that point and thought it would be good. You are not lying about how bad it was. I did make it to the end however, it never got any better.

A couple of things. #1 it was only theaters a week before it was shut down by COVID. However, in that week there were a bunch of walk-outs because the story ended up making the Liberals look like lunatics and the main protagonist was on the right, ex-military and a mistake because she had the same name as someone they wanted to kidnap. Liberals went to the film thinking they would have their vengeance and the liberals not only got that collective posteriors kicked, the were shown to be unhinged.
Imagine if the release day on this film was right now.

One I did consider walking out on although I'd paid for the ticket was Scorsese's remake of Cape Fear. A butchery of good source material.
Think I read that Tarantino was going for a Texas Chainsaw feel in the Once Upon a Time scene where Brad Pitt visits the ranch. And he caught it nicely too. Just for fun, compare that scene with the scene in the original Texas Chainsaw where they first enter the psycho family's house.

I consider myself fortunate, I've never wanted to walk out of a movie. I *was* bored out of my gourd the first time I saw Stand By Me, in the theater, in 1986. It's not horrible but IMHO is very overrated.
In the meanwhile, I just ordered a copy on DVD of Ellen Burstyn's forgotten 1981 flick, Resurrection. I always heard good things, and even remember my pastor at the time raving about it, during my teenage confirmation classes.

I think you give the film way too much credit. Nothing shown would have given anyone any good reason to have sympathy for those two. They were alone on a mountain, and started rutting like animals. Then they would get together every now and then and rut some more.
If that's what passes for "love" between gay men, it says a helluva lot more about what's wrong with homosexuality than it may have been trying to.

It was overall a good group, although the leader, John, was your typical lefty doucebag. Also a vegan who more or less made it clear he didn't care for food at all really.
Near the end of my time with this group (I spent about two years joining them almost every Sunday night), John shared his own script, about oppressed women living in an abandoned California mining town, run by a crazy (and of course, closeted gay) minister. The church was about the only business left in town.
Was bullshit of a story, and gotta love the ending. It took place in 1960, and when the women finally rebel against said minister, he gets in his car and immediately rushes to San Francisco, meets a tall dark stranger, and they make love on the beach.
But THEN... thel dark stranger immediately stabs the minister to death. Yeah, that's a great ending. Let's portray the one out-and-proud gay person as a murderous psycho.

Did you know the Beatles wanted to produce, and star in, a Lord Of The Rings movie in 1969? And they wanted to hire Stanley Kubrick to direct.
Didn't work out obviously. Tolkien hated rock music; the band was already breaking up anyway; and Kubrick enjoyed LOTR but felt the novels were unfilmable.

I was with 4 girls ages 6 to 10. My car keys were lost and I was keeping them busy. I was enjoying it but it became pretty intense so Baby Geniuses it was.
I apologised afterwards for all the drama with the lost car keys and everything. One of the older girls replied that they were kids that just saw two movies. They were good.

I didn't see it in the theater, but on DVD. Kubrick, except for a couple of films, is not a director I care for -- but I was riveted to EWS, and not because of Nicole Kidman's nude scene. She's actually not in the film much at all.
But I can understand that it's not to everybody's taste. It's not a movie I would have cared for when I was in my twenties or even forties.

I have only walked out of one in theater film - 1982 "Partners". I wasn't ready for gay themed movies and it blind sided my date and me. We left and had a much better time.
Most movies now, I'll just stream a few minutes, then read the wiki to see if the movie gets any better. If not I will abandon it. "Overboard" was one recent example.
Other movies are so predictable and the directors often waste time on hackneyed formulas that most movies I'll fast forward 15 seconds at a time. 90 minute movies are usually seen in under 30 minutes if I don't flat walk out them.

I was not as thrilled with it as my friends were. There were good moments, but the music used did not always match the mood of the action on screen. Van Morrison's "Moondance" did; "Blue Moon" by the Marcels, while our tragic hero lies dead, did not.
But then there was the young Jenny Agutter.

It's standard issue werewolf story, with modern (at the time) special effects.
Given the title, which tells you EXACTLY what you're going to see, I can't understand how one would be disappointed with what you got.

For me the humor and horror were not well juxtaposed. We're used to that now, and it has been done more seamlessly (Ghostbusters, for instance). But then, the combination jarred.

Sis was sitting quietly, about halfway through the movie (I thought it was lousy, but whatevs) and she was absolutely white with terror and was ready to cry. I put my arm around her and whispered: "Want to leave? It's okay if you don't want to stay. I think this movie is pretty stupid anyway."
She nodded in the affirmative, so we left. Let her have a good cry in my car & then we went to Dairy Queen. I promised to not tell her friends that we walked out.

In about 1972, before the nostalgia for the '50s ramped up everywhere, there was a vogue for the '30s and the early '40s. I recall going to a double-feature revival of High Sierra and Treasure of the Sierra Madre. The audience was very appreciative.

I, Robot was a varied collection of short stories where humans have to figure out, and deal with, gaps in the Three Laws, or survive under conditions where they mysteriously don't work. I don't recall much of the Will Smith movie except robots running amok, which doesn't sound like Asimov's work.

Hmmm, seems to me you might have to be able to relate to one or the other of the characters to really appreciate it.
Older man, successful and bored, younger woman, unappreciated by her husband, both in a strange place, neither fit in at all...
Only to find another human you can relate to, and have a relationship with that is not sexual, but it's also not NOT sexual.
Throw in a Kevin Shields (My Bloody Valentine) score... it strikes me as an accidental masterpiece.

I just saw that advertised. I'll likely pick it up next time there's a sale. One of the latest RiffTrax movies I watched was Fight to Win. It was profoundly disappointing...as a movie, not necessarily as a RiffTrax episode. It was almost a really cool kung fu movie (with Cythia Rothrock and a bunch of Hong Kong guys) but then it developed a stuuuuupid subplot with a little kid and a magical living-rock with the voice of a woman pretending to be a kid. Completely out-of-place, and completely killed the mood, in a way that even jokes couldn't cover.
Imagine mashing up Rambo with Mac & Me, with no effort made to integrate the differing tones....

I couldn’t watch Blair Witch past the girl looking into the camera and panting, “I’m so scared!” over and over. Someone else telling me they’re frightened doesn’t get me to vibrate in harmony.
I turned off Natural Born Killers because there was no meaning behind the violence. Even Tarantino has a point to his violence. NBK was just a spree into psychosis.

My wife and I walked out on Al Pacino in, "Scarface." When we left, the violence was too unpleasant and nothing indicated that anything worthwhile would come from staying. I have since watched the entire film with the realization that my wife and I were right to bail.

First movie I remember walking out of was Natural Born Killers (Tarantino strikes again!); nihilistic gratuitous blood & gore for blood & gore's sake.
I almost walked out of No Country For Old Men (Coen Brothers movie and again Woody Harrelson) as well, but will often stick around 'til the end of a movie I'm not enjoying HOPING for some redeeming great and/or twist ending. Alas, 'twas not to be ...
The wifey and I have probably quit watching a handful of DVDs and/or streaming movies over the past couple of years -- but I can't remember them off the top of my head.
Cheers!

I do the streaming version of walking out - If I make it through the first 15 minutes of a comedy and don't laugh once I turn it off. A few that immediately come to mind are Step Brothers, Grandma's Boy, and Ricky Stanicky. Another virtual walkout is the first unnecessary interracial, gay, or for bonus points, interracial gay couple. If you're establishing early on that your movie is prioritizing a lecture over story tellling I'm done

Hobby Thread - Sept 27, 2025 [Arbor Rex]
Welcome hobbyists! Pull up a chair and sit a spell with the Horde in this little corner of the interweb. This is the mighty, mighty, mighty officially sanctioned Ace of Spades Hobby Thread. A spin of the Ace of Spades Wheel of Hobbies (TM) landed on bonsai trees.
Your host knows nothing about zen and the art of pruning small trees. In fact, I shouldn't be trusted to take care of house plants in general. Gonna need Horde help on this one. If you are tempted to say "I don't prune small trees, so there is nothing here for me," let the thought pass. No Moron could possibly say such a thing. Stick around. You might be entertained or learn something. You might enjoy hearing from others and seeing what others are hobbying. I have faith that you can find something in the content that resonates or contribute your own hobbying interests. Dig around in the content and soak in the comments. Be curious. Glad you're here. [Top: Chinese Elm Bonsai, Lynden Sculpture Garden, Milwaukee, WI]
Do you find a zen element in staring at a small tree and deciding whether to prune it in very small ways? Over and over and over? Seems like tree abuse but I'm just a dinosaur with a small brain and short arms. But Soothsayer and the interweb seem to believe that bonsai is a real hobby, so here we are. What do I need to know? and why haven't people realized that the juniper is God's punishment for human sin in plant form?
The National Bonsai and Penjing Museum contains miniature masterpieces of horticultural art. The Chinese art of penjing and the Japanese art of bonsai use woody plants in containers as a medium to portray the natural growth habit of trees in the landscape. The living sculptures of bonsai and penjing are inspired by natural scenes, and they change with the seasons like their wild relatives. They require continual care and training to maintain their artistic designs. In addition to water and fertilization, the bonsai are pruned and their branches are shaped using wire to give the impression of ancient trees. The museum's collection began in 1976 with a gift of 53 bonsai trees from Japan to commemorate the United States Bicentennial. The collection has grown steadily with the addition of pieces from North American bonsai masters and a penjing collection from China. Now, more than 300 specimens rotate through the display tables and pedestals of three pavilions and a special exhibits gallery.A tour of the museum on a YouTube channel named "Classy Bonsai" has to be good, right?
just took home bronze for Best Museums in the Seattle Times survey of Best in the PNW 2025! Beware if you go: pretty plants but insufferably woke.
The Huntington Library and Gardens in San Marino (Los Angeles area) Thanks to the Huntington for this Q&A:
What is a bonsai tree?
The Japanese word "bonsai" translates as "tree in a pot." Bonsai are living plants, typically a tree, shrub, or woody herb grown in a pot and trained to develop characteristics found in a very old tree.
There are two ways to measure bonsai age: real age (the time the tree has been growing), and the age of training (the time the tree has been worked on). Some trees in The Huntington's collection were hundreds of years old when they were collected for training into bonsai. Others were under 20 years old. Both might have the same age of training. There are a few trees in the collection that have been in training since the 1950s, which is fairly old for an American bonsai.
How do bonsai trees stay alive in such small containers?
The trees are grown in a mix of crushed and cleaned lava, pumice, and naturally compressed clay aggregate, including imported Japanese clay products. This mix provides a stable structure with a balance of aeration, water, and nutrient storage and a sharpness that promotes strong root development. Pots dry out as trees use up moisture, which is why trees must be watered daily.
Sept six - have a long-term plan. Seems like a challenge to have a long term plan if you keep killing your trees in the short term, but I appreciate the optimism. Bonsai Empire suggests that a big problem for beginners is an abundance of enthusiasm. Trees can't keep up with rapid change, so overpruning and redesigning doesn't work well for them. Is the zen part of bonsai ownership staring at the tree and not doing anything? Who am I to judge, but seems like you can do nothing without staring at a tiny tree just as well.
Words of wisdom:
"Because despite all our troubles, when things are grim out in that wide round world of ours, that's when it's really important to have a good hobby." Posted by: tankascribe at June 22, 2024 07:41 PM (HWxAD).

I started buying silver coins not too long ago, as well as other silver (not coin) items. Tarnish is a constant issue, as I have no desire to keep the items sealed.
Call me crazy, but I think silver NEEDS to breathe, to be touched, to have its weight and beauty felt.
There's an easy solution, made of salt, baking soda, and water, along with aluminum foil, that works just fine for removing tarnish. No need for harsh chemicals.

Any number of Yootoob videos to demonstrate the precise way to do it for different types of silver items.
I have a coin I thought had been ruined by chemicals, and now it shines. Has a "blackish" mark on it, that could probably come off with more effort, but I'm more than pleased it came back to its shine, just using those ingredients.

the code is utter shit.
when you call the SQR routine, it sets up a variable to 0.5. then it slides into the next code block, which is the x to the power of y routine. That routine does a bunch of magic with LOG and EXP. LOG requires a lot of division, and EXP is a Taylor series with eight (
coefficients.
It's absurd. (also by extension, if you do x^2, you're an idiot for not doing x*x.) Why didn't they just do some bithack and then run Newton's method? like in Q_rsqrt for x*-0.5.
Actually I even hear some square-root algos do call q_rsqrt and then just multiply that by x.

Ben Had,
That is so sweet of you to say. Mrs. JTB and I have learned to appreciate what we have and what we see. It makes for pleasant and peaceful living. There are so many pleasures to experience through our senses, from the smell of fresh baked bread to feeling the curl of wood while whittling to the colors of autumn and spring, the feel of a pen gliding across good paper, even just watching a little kid walking their puppy. So much better than wallowing in miseries and injustices all the time.

That kid of stuff can cause some unintended consequences.
We had a neighbor that was a refugee from Vietnam when we moved into this house. I put a chain link fence around the back 40 and I dubbed it "the wire". There was a neighborhood cat named Charlie that would torment our dogs by walking the fence line and teasing them. When they started barking at the cat I would go out into the back and yell "Charlies in the wire".

Years ago when I was a kid working at my summer job doing landscaping at the boss's house, I saw an old portuguese man, also an employee, cut a small notch in a tree, I forget what species, and stuck a small fresh-cut Apple tree branch in the notch. Then, I think, he put black electrical tape around transplant to seal it up.
I'm, like, hey Gil, is that gonna work. He said come here, look, and showed an apple growing from the branch he transplanted the year before.
True story.

It might've been a branch from a Yellow Apple tree transplanted into a Red Apple tree, I forget. But, yeah, a Yellow-Red apple was growing in a red apple tree from the transplant.

My left hand is too messed up to play seriously anymore. Nerve damage in my shoulder makes my ring and pinky finger near uncontrolable. I can hack two finger barre cords but that gets boring. I haven't played but maybe a few hours in 20 years. Just long enough to get really frustrated and esentially hang it up.
Enter grand kids.
I'll give the whole shebang here to them when they are old enough. They loved it when they discovered my collection in the closet. Made me pull out the electric drum set and the amps and we play rock and roll band a lot. It's pretty fun to suck as bad as I do and the grands go "that rocks papa".

We took a week of vacation earlier this month and hired a girl from Rover to take care of the khets. Bravo - our very sensitive boy - did not care for the intruder. Victor Tango KiloPoor boy! Angry because you are missing!
Lola and Roscoe have previously been seen on the Pet Thread. Roscoe had to cross the rainbow bridge after coming down with lymphoma. Her sister Lola misses her terribly, howling at the door and Roscoe's bed. Almost 15 is pretty good though. Their humie Brindle (occasional commenter) and wife miss her bigly too.So sorry that you have lost Roscoe. You have chosen some sweet dogs as companions.
This is Scamp (17 years old) who went over the rainbow bridge today to sit on his dad's lap. I know Jim welcomed him with a big smile. How I miss them both. Iris (in memory of Jim SND)Thank you for sending this sweet remembrance.

The cartoon of the lady happily anticipating her cats greeting her at the door . . . most of my cats have done that frequently, even when it was not breakfast or dinnertime. Stirling is usually right there when I come in. Dagny not so much, but then she's aloof anyway.
Big red Arizona use to check me in, or check on me, when I came home. And Marie-Antoinette was usually right there too. I came home from one work trip, four days or so (I'd had a good neighbor come in to look after her). Marie took one look at me and let out with a cry that was clearly "Where've you BEEEEEN?"

I remember checking on Chekov when he was in his final weeks. He lay on the carpet, glad to be petted, but moving very little except for food, water, and litter box trips. Each morning when I woke, I went to him to see if he was still breathing. I was very relieved when he was.

Even those of my cat roommates who were afraid of strangers, like Chekov and Mom's Li'l Bit, somehow knew my step and were present and accounted for when I opened the door. Many of them knew Linda's too.
Big red tabby Rusty in my boyhood was for a number of years frightened of any stranger older than I was (though he adjusted that age limit as I grew up). He would lie out in the patio, and if a strange person came to the street gate, he was up and gone in a flash. But if any of us -- my brother, mother, father, or me -- arrived, he would still be there when we entered, relaxed on the patio. Possibly it was because we would use a key to open the gate. A stranger would use the door buzzer, and that triggered him. Still, it was an indication of his intelligence.

When he's excited, he's pretty good so he still has life in him but I am carrying him up and down stairs a little bit more.
We just went outside and my friends' cat Snowflake, who has stayed here on and off, came up and they nuzzled each other. Adorable.
Snowflake then left to tree a squirrel. Good cat.

Edible Gardening/Putting Things By
Sadly, we're in the runoff zone for our neighbors' pond, and with lots of rain this year, some of our plants weren't very happy. The half of this medlar tree on the downhill side must have had its roots die, but the main (uphill) section still looks good. Remaining fruit is huge and seems fine. The quince trees are loaded with large fruit, which should continue to grow a bit more. They grow on the ends of new branches, so they often overload them and hang down quite a bit. We still have a ton of wild grapes on the vine. Seedy and more tart than sweet, as you'd expect. I make plenty of noise walking on the local trails,
but a few deer didn't clear out before I rounded the corner. In fact, the mother (I assume) stamped her foot a few times and stepped towards me, so I chose a different path... Moron Analyst/Intrepid/Ackbar
Saffron, originating from the Orient, has been cultivated for a long time and recommended by Hippocrates for its stimulating and antispasmodic virtues. In the days of triumph, the Romans sprinkled saffron powder in the streets and party halls. Isidore of Seville ( Ét 636) describes saffron (Crocus sativus) in his Etymologies.
Used to dye fabrics, its bright yellow can also be found in medieval lighting or on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.
A saffron plant (Zaffarano) painted in its natural habitat by Gherardo Cibo in a botanical watercolour notebook circa 1564.
In the background, in a mountainous landscape, two peasants kneeling with their basket are picking the precious flower.
In this manuscript, Cibo also collects texts from the Discorsi of the Siennese physician Pietro Mattioli ( Dans 1577).

Utilisé pour teindre les étoffes, on trouve aussi son jaune lumineux dans les enluminures médiévales ou sur le plafond de la Chapelle Sixtine.
Dans un cahier d’aquarelles botaniques, un plant de safran (Zaffarano) est peint dans son milieu naturel par Gherardo Cibo vers 1564.

You may be able to grow the world's most expensive spice in your yard if you live in Zone 6 or above. They bloom about this time of year. You may want to plant the bulbs in a wire basket to deter burrowing rodents.
. . . colchicine is also used for inducing polyploidy in plant cells during cellular division by inhibiting chromosome segregation during meiosis; half the resulting gametes, therefore, contain no chromosomes, while the other half contains double the usual number of chromosomes . . . and lead to embryos with double the usual number of chromosomes (i.e., tetraploid instead of diploid). While this would be fatal in most higher animal cells, in plant cells it is not only usually well tolerated, but also frequently results in larger, hardier, faster-growing, and in general more desirable plants than the normally diploid parents; for this reason, this type of genetic manipulation is frequently used in breeding plants commercially. When such a tetraploid plant is crossed with a diploid plant, the triploid offspring are usually sterile (unable to produce fertile seeds or spores), although many triploids can be propagated vegetatively. Growers of annual triploid plants not readily propagated must buy fresh seed from a supplier each year. Many sterile triploid plants, including some tree and shrubs, are becoming increasingly valued in horticulture and landscaping because they do not become invasive species. In certain species, colchicine-induced triploidy has been used to create "seedless" fruit, such as seedless watermelons (Citrullus lanatus). Since most triploids do not produce pollen themselves, such plants usually require cross-pollination with a diploid parent to induce fruit production.You just might be able to create your own tetraploid plant at home. Might want to leave breeding the triploids to the professionals. Not that you can't grow some triploid plants in your yard. Had good luck with seedless watermelon? Ever grown orange watermelon?
Good evening, Katy! Our ‘Sweet Autumn Clematis’ went into full bloom this year as it always does on September 15th, bigger than ever – the two ‘arms’ now measure 33 feet end-to-end! We think it’s 13 years old; it was a tiny thing in a shady spot on our property when we moved in 11 years ago, so we moved it to a sunnier spot. But then it started to take over a very nice Japanese Maple tree, so we moved it to this perfect south-facing spot where it is now, maybe 6 years ago (?). Anyway, we give it lots of 24-8-16 fertilizer in the spring and early summer, then 2 doses of 15-30-15 and a final dose of 10-60-10 starting in August. The view from the sidewalk is much, much better this year, too. We get a lot of foot traffic past our corner down to the park at the end of the block; lots of dog walkers and of parents with carriages or toddlers. Hope you're continuing to recover okay - MrJimmThanks so much! Love the cultural particulars. What wonderful growth you have encouraged!

Recently, my wife and I visited the Pendarvis historic site in Mineral Point, Wisconsin, which was home to a colony of Cornish miners (hence the town's name). One thing we learned is that Cornish cuisine uses a lot of saffron. It seems that in Ye Olden Tymes, Cornwall was one of the few sources of tin, needed to make bronze, and traders voyaged there for it from around the Mediterranean, some of whom apparently brought saffron with them. The conditions in Cornwall are well suited to growing the saffron crocus, so it's been cultivated there ever since. Who knew? My wife recently made a batch of Cornish saffron and current buns, which were delicious.

A quince looks like a cross between a pear and an apple. The sole example I plucked from a tree was incredibly sour.
I've been told you can make jelly out of them. I assume you puree them, load them up with sugar, cook them into jelly, and then make lots of little jars of jelly that you give away to people who will politely thank you then throw it away.

That was one of their original primary purposes. They are loaded with pectin, so most orchards had a few to provide pectin to make jelly. The fruit is pretty hard, kind of dry, and sour tasting, but has a wonderful, strong fragrance. So, it's often added to pies for a little unique flavoring. They're also sometimes poached, like pears, to eat. They're sometime sliced very thinly and served with charcuterie boards.
They're added to rakia, the brandy-equivalent of the Balkans, and I find that use delicious!
There's also a Portuguese dish called membrillo, which is like a fruit leather loaf made of sweetened quince.

They are closely related to pears and most varieties are so firm that they can only be eaten raw by slicing very thinly. They tend to be sour. They are often mixed with other fruits like pears or apples in cobblers or pies, adding an interesting flavor. They are also used in jams and jellies. They keep well.
The trees usually don't grow too tall, and seedlings are sometimes used as rootstocks for pears. Like pears and apples, they are susceptible to fireblight.
Some ornamental flowering quince (a different species) are also use for food.

At our neighbors' house, we took some red raspberries, a stem of basil for me to dry, 2 paste tomatoes, and a banana pepper to taste. I tasted the grapes but will have to keep waiting for them to get a bit sweeter.
We started power-washing the house last Sat., and plan to do more of the house tomorrow. We plan to burn the fall burn pile, sometime after the rain due this coming Monday.
And we're planning to invite a youth group over in October, to pick apples, and learn how cider is made. They'll get to take apples and some cider home, we get free labor - a win-win situation.

I was having trouble with my pears molding in the fruit dryer, so I tried sulfuring them, by burning elemental sulfur powder with a bit of salt peter in the dryer. This keeps the fruit from browning as it dries, and apparently also kills the mold spores

Points of view come into focus
We have had some examples of irony in the news lately.
Bernie Sanders demands Nexstar air Jimmy Kimmel while denouncing 'political pressure' on TV stations
A man in Switzerland is facing 10 days in prison after refusing to pay a fine for an “offensive” social media post. Emanuel Brünisholz, a wind instrument repairman from Burgdorf, was convicted under anti-discrimination laws for making a statement emphasising skeletal evidence of binary sex.
Brünisholz’s ordeal began in December of 2022 when he responded to a Facebook post by Swiss National Council member Andreas Glarner. In his comment, Brünisholz wrote: “If you dig up LGBTQI people after 200 years, you’ll only find men and women based on their skeletons. Everything else is a mental illness promoted through the curriculum.”That would be a brave stance to take here in the USA, too. His statements attracted activists who brought legal actions.
Don't talk back, citizen. Cross-dressing men are women. With magic woman bones.Much more at the link.
From the comments:Academia's Clown Quarter, I mean: Marriage fundamentalism” advances “white supremacy,” according to a George Mason University professor. “I theorise that marriage fundamentalism, like structural racism, is a key structuring element of white heteropatriarchal supremacy,” Professor Bethany Letiecq wrote in the Journal of Marriage and Family.The meaning of the term “marriage fundamentalism,” a term used repeatedly, isn’t made entirely clear, and its allegedly racist and life-crushing particulars are, inevitably, “hidden,” “invisible,” and conveniently vague – despite the loudly announced use of “an intersectional lens.” But it seems to mean something like the tendency of many adults to see marriage as of mutual benefit and an optimal way to raise children. . .
EmC replies, tersely, That. Well, if little Don’t-Know-Who-My-Dad-Is is starting fires at school and looks destined for a life of delinquency and crime, this is not obviously the fault of the happily married Mr and Mrs Jefferson and their two non-fire-starting children. And no amount of chest-puffing about “heteropatriarchy,” “unequal power relations” and “white supremacy” seems likely to alter that fact. A child in an unstable home and consequently on an unhappy trajectory may have things to grumble about, in between the brawling and disruption, and starting fires in the toilets. But those grumbles have little to do with other people’s parents making better choices. The grumbling, it seems to me, should probably be directed closer to home. FredTheFourth adds, Shades of the argument, a couple of years ago, that parents who read to their young children were giving them an unfair advantage over children whose parents did not.

Saad has a book coming out which will touch on some of these themes. What he can and cannot say. Greeks used stereotypes. The challenge to the Western paradigm is success. Germanic nihilists took clues from some Greek philosophers. 43 minutes - Saad talks to former supermodel. Get comfortable with reality. Dowry means that older women in Greece are richer than men in their 50s. 57 minutes: VDH's "Why I Don't Like Trump" Game 1hour 07 minutes Biden was always mean Harris . . . . Does VDH have regrets? You might be surprised.
It was quite a week. The biggest story was the indictment of James Comey, about which I have reservations. But the indictment was a boon to memesters, who recalled Comey’s earlier art project featuring seashells. Much more happened, too. The Trump administration adopted recommendations by the Harvard School of Public Health on the use of Tylenol by pregnant women, which were immediately denounced by leftists, even though it turned out that the manufacturer of Tylenol said the same thing. Jimmy Kimmel returned to television and garnered massive ratings in his first show back, mainly due to people tuning in to see whether he would apologize. He didn’t. Donald Trump visited the United Nations, only to be greeted with mechanical malfunctions. And left-wing violence continued apace, with yet more victims and with zero sign of remorse from liberal leaders. So here we go with The Week In Pictures, Seashells Redux Edition:

As @AndrewCMcCarthy explains well here, this is going to be a difficult case to prove.
Doesn't matter. As we learned from the Biden Administration, the purpose of prosecution is to use the unlimited resources of the Federal government to ruin people financially.
Yeah, Comey may eventually be acquitted, but let's make him spend millions defending himself.

You know, quite a lot of people didn't really give a shit about gay marriage but it was clearly the camel's nose under the tent that some warned it was. They were right just as much as your weird fat uncle Bob the militiaman was back in Michigan, 30 years ago, about the progs.
I despise certain type of busybody church folks - not the well meaning type, but those that just want their permission slip to throw rocks at something - but if that's what we require to combat the hordes of psychotic furry trannies, so be it. I always knew it was a practical tradeoff in there somewhere but did not expect the slope to be so steep, and well greased.

Hoopes was arrested by the FBI for violently assaulting an ICE agent and launching several other attacks at the Portland ICE facility in June.
He attempted to kill an ICE agent by throwing a boulder sized rock at his head.
The Community Safety Director disclosed Hoopes identity to an FBI agent when approached, which led to his arrest.
Reed College — a progressive leftist institute — said the safety director’s decision went against the college’s values.
President Audrey Bilger did not condemn Hoopes’ violence against ICE.

People have to be in place and the Dems shut down nominations for lower but important offices like US District Attorneys. Blue slip vetoes in blue states for Dem senators is making matters worse in places like NY, NJ, VA, MD, etc. Grassley as Chair of Judiciary is allowing Dem senators in those states to veto Trump nominees from filling those positions permanently without those Dem senators acquiescence. Part of the issue is Tillis is supporting the Dems in keeping that policy in place in Judiciary.
Imagine charging the hill with an uncertain army where 1/3 are careerist cowards toward Dem malfeasance, 1/3 are Dems likely to shoot anyone attempting to storm the heights in the back, and 1/3 are uniparty squishes that desperately want to return to the sedate pattern of brief service in DoJ time and again in order to make partner at a big law firm. Lawyers, by and large, aren't there on the right much for crusading--they want to make money. Leftists are different than their GOP counterparts, they want to run the system and make money.

The single most important task of the Trump Administration is to weed out the traitors in the government, whose purpose has been to undermine the will of the people.
I really don't care when the whores take to corporate media and complain about it, they're just noise. I want to know that Trump hired the right people to get this job done.
As has been said many times, many ways, Comey is just the first. We have a list. Get them indicted, prosecuted, sentenced, and punished.

GOP voters are such a disaster. Tillis is 100% the sort of saboteur who is vital in blocking attempts to end America's decline, and was obviously such from the outset. He has many partners in disaster in the Senate, only an unlikely blow-out (like 1980) that substantially changes the nature of the GOP majority can help enable real change.

Of course Brennan is making that noise. He's on the hook too if Comey gets bogged down in future charges and needs to point a finger to get a plea deal lessening his own penalties. Expect James Clapper to show up shortly doing the same thing.

Blue slip is simply one more ahistorical and non constitutional norm that the Senate engages in to created the dubious notion of senatorial courtesy to prevent nominees they dislike from being appointed.
Main use of blue slip policy was to prevent federal judges and district attorneys during segregation era from being appointed by Republicans. A thoroughly dishonorable precedent.

What sets him and some others apart from folks who may have great delivery but need to read from a script is that Trump actually knows what he's talking about.
Now, you might not agree with him ir he might not be right. But he knows the FUNDAMENTALS of what he's talking about. He has principles on which his thinking is based. And he can reason from his principles to a conclusion (even a new conclusion). He has firm foundations from which he thinks his way to conclusions.
That was also something that Charlie Kirk had going for him. Absolute conviction of certain principles, and the ability to reason from them.

Pretty much. While in theory marriage is a good thing I cannot hold onto the tradcon idea that it is always an unalloyed good for everyone all the time despite current legal and cultural incentives and disincentives. Marriage was basically rendered a nullity with no-fault, and turned into a trap for unwary men. Lots of guys have been utterly ruined by marriage and divorce, to the point they're 6-8 times more likely to kill themselves post-divorce than women. By the time gay "marriage" rolled around it had pretty much gone to shit as an institution anyway, turned into an obscene mocking imposter. I don't like that it was gutted and then worn as a skinsuit but in hindsight gay marriage was a pretty forseeable consequence.

What the U.S. govt is doing to me breaks all the norms of immunity on which the functioning of the United Nations and its General Assembly is based.

She combines two of the prime academic failures of the last 50 years "Education" and "Studies" programs. Grade-inflated programs about nebulous subjects granting "degrees" to people like this who then produce scrofulous crap attacking normal people for not conforming with her feminist fantasies.
Academia is now a con game, enabling midwits like her to leech off the body politic, not producing anything of value, in fact, being a net negative to society.

I read books and news, don't need some YTer telling me what to think and how to think it.
You might also mention exactly what Shapiro did say, Source Hindustan Times:
"Ben Shapiro vowed to ‘pick up that blood-stained microphone’ where slain conservative political activist Charlie Kirk 'left it'." and “We will pick up where Charlie left off.”
Quite a few people thought that meant Shapiro was offering to take over Turning Point and Demstate flatly claimed such,
"Ben Shapiro has announced he will replace Charlie Kirk as the face of the Turning Point USA (TPUSA) organization, pledging to embark on a nationwide tour aimed at fostering debate and discussion on college campuses."
And thence the race was on to social media, X, Fakebook, etc.

Methinks the president thinks all things that are not bad are good.
If it is good and brings happiness it is wonderful. There is not reason to be negative about something that will bring about a positive outcome.

Never cared for him even back in the days he was a columnist but then again, I care little for most opinion bloviators as their knowledge pool is relatively shallow due to trying to address everything under the sun.
George Will, Peggy Noonan, and Mona Charen are examples of petrified and shallow opinions that are about as relevant today as discussing the politics of Egypt during the time of the Pharoahs.
And yet they cling to their status from the Reagan years as some sort of badge of relevance.
And the reason they do so is they get paid to do so. Shapiro strikes me as the same sort of mercenary--if he gets paid then that is all that matters.

What seems to go unsaid is that these two things are not the same. To pretend there is no difference, whether it's about faith or politics, is absurd.
If one chooses to support the mission of Shapiro and his organization, that's fine, but it is NOT the same mission as Kirk's organization.

I admire both men. There are books by each with a few feet of where I sit. But both tend to be "lumpers", believes in synthetic approaches. That has some value, but it does lead to oversimplification, and ignoring what doesn't fit the thesis. E.g., VDH cites, in the context of the Western tragic hero, the Magnificent Seven. But remember the source of that movie - it was Japanese.
No matter what pattern you come up with, the world is more complicated.

Since sealing the southern border obviously didn't do jack squat to suppress the supply demanded from our million or so addicts, I'm kind of skeptical. But maybe it's easier to block people at borders than it is to block drugs. I dunno.
Our problem is demand, not supply. If we had the balls, or if our fickle nation had the sustained will to follow through with it for the years it would take, we'd do it the same effective way that dinky Singapore does it. But of course, that will never happen.
Seems crazy to bomb Venezuela to solve it. It's a clear signal that we are too weak and impotent even to keep our own addicts here at home clean, so we put 100% of the blame on other countries for it. Lame.

The Classical Saturday Coffee Break & Prayer Revival
2) Be kind, be nice. But don't be a patsy.
3) Running with sharp objects here? What are you, nuts?
4) Have a great weekend!
AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List
Please submit any prayer requests to me, “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo atsign hotmail dot com. Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks unless we receive an update. Prayer Requests: 8/25 – Grammie Winger posted that Rev is doing well, but she was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer last week.
9/6 Update – grammie winger sent her love and how much the Horde has meant to her over the years. She said her time is being measured in days and weeks now, and that soon she will go to that place that Jesus has prepared for her. She said she will miss the group so much. 8/25 – BurtTC is dealing with a family matter and could use some prayers.
9/4 Update – BurtTC’s mother passed away. BurtTC asked for prayers for her family, who suffering the loss. Her soul is safe and at peace in heaven. 8/28 - Grumpy and Recalcitrant asks for prayers for Pixy Misa, who runs the morning tech thread. Pixy has been suffering from edema (water retention and swelling of the extremities). In addition to the swelling, there has been significant pain in both feet, and now one hand. Please pray that the doctors and nurses take this problem seriously. Pray that God guides their minds and hands in the diagnostic and treatment processes, so that Pixy may be restored to full health. Pray that He sustains Pixy through this health trial.
9/13 Update – Pixy Misa posted that he is hugely improved. Between the BP medication and the skin cream, he reports being almost back to normal. He only noticed the problem now while climbing stairs, and then its just stiffness rather than actual pain. 9/5 – Inogame requested continued prayers for his wife. It seems like they may have two blessings on the way, not just one, since there seems to be a second heartbeat. In a few weeks they will know for sure. He asks for prayers that they be doubly blessed if the Lord wills it. 9/5 – Teresa in Fort Worth gave an update that she was very ill (throwing up), and was going to spend a day or two at the hospital while they figure out what is going on (and give her IVs due to dehydration). It doesn’t seem to be related to the cancer.
9/7 Update – Teresa still cannot keep solid food down. The CT scan showed something odd (metallic) in her stomach, so she will have an MRI on 9/8. 9/6 – Tbodie sent an update on a son, who has pancreatic cancer at age 36. He just finished his sixth round of chemo. Please pray that the family will know that God is in control and that the son and daughter-in-law will know He is there for them. 9/6 – “Perfessor” Squirrel sent his thanks to the Horde for their prayers over the past few weeks, as he went through a difficult time at work. He announced he will be moving to a new job (at the same university) on 9/22. It will be similar work as before, but a different boss, and that is good. 9/6 – vmom deport deport deport asked for prayers for Sophia, age 12, who was still fighting for her life with a bullet in her brain after the trans school shooting in MN. 9/7 – Moki would be grateful for prayers for a nephew who just had a heart attack. He is 54 years old, and has 3 kids under age 5. 9/7 – GWB requested prayers for a neighbor who is suffering after multiple back surgeries and in a LOT of pain. 9/9 – Pookysgirl asked for prayers as Pooky has a procedure to hollow out his prostate on 9/23. They are not sure of the long-term implications of his acute kidney injury, but his kidneys are recovering. God has worked miracles to keep Pooky with them in the past, as an answer to many, many prayers.
9/13 Update – Pookysgirl reported that Pooky is on the mend. His kidneys are recovering, he is sleeping better, he has been more confident interacting with the kids. Prayers of thanks! 9/11 – D sent an update for Susan, his wife, and her battle with cancer: Thank you, everyone, again for your prayers for Susan. Her cancer markers went down at the last Dr visit, but she is back to having abdominal pain that is making it hard to eat right. They are trying to get her weight up and thank God for the good days they do have. The really good news is that she is able to walk around again without the fear of falling over.
9/23 Update – The pain has started coming back, so they went to the hospital and found a cyst. They are trying to determine if it is infected. 9/11 – Annie’s Stew asks for prayers of comfort for Charlie Kirk’s family (first and foremost), prayers for this country as we all grieve, and that God would reveal His will for us, as we move forward as individuals and as a country. 9/11 – Kindletot requested prayers for a friend named Wendy, who was diagnosed with stage III breast cancer. Please pray for healing and reassurance. Wendy is afraid of chemo, which hurt her friend as much as the cancer did. 9/13 – vmom deport deport deport asked for prayers for her daughter KTE to fully recover from the stomach bug that she has been suffering through. 9/18 – Taylor reported that WitchDoktor took his own life last week. 9/20 – Tonypete sent happy prayers for Will and Natalie, who were married on 9/19. May they continue to live God’s plan for themselves and remain as happy as they were on their wedding day. 9/20 – Accomack sent his thanks for the prayers for his wife. She was cleared of the parasites, but her liver has not returned to normal because of all the antibiotics. She has not been cleared to return to work, but she has insurance and union payouts, so this could go on for a while. 9/20 – Dash my lace wings asked for prayers for her mama. On 9/17, she fell and broke ribs. It was the second time in about 6 weeks, and much more painful than the last time. 9/20 – RedMindBlueState asked for prayers for the wife of a close friend. She is back in chemo for a recurrence of cancer. Please pray for her and her family. 9/21 – P asked for prayers for her brother, T, in New York. He already has stage 4 lung cancer. His car got totaled one night at 3 am, and when his wife was driving him to the insurance office the next day to report this, he felt so wobbly that she diverted to the ER, where they found out he’d had a stroke. 9/22 – C requested prayers for a friend whose mother passed away after years of dealing with dementia. For submission guidelines and other relevant info, please contact Annie's Stew, who is managing the prayer list. You can contact her at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. If you see a prayer request posted in a thread comment, feel free to copy and paste it and e-mail it to Annie's Stew. She tries to keep up with the requests in the threads, but she's not here all of the time, so she may not see it unless you e-mail it to her. Please note: Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks or so unless we receive an update. 9/26 - Legally Sufficient asked for prayers for her “Boss” as he has serious intestinal issues with testing upcoming. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.

Good morning Skip.
A real misanthrope would have given you shit for a tea movie this early in.
But a misanthropic humanitarian says it's ok since tea is a weak redheaded step sister of coffee.

Prayers up for those who know they need them but haven't asked us for them;
Prayers up for those that pray alone in silence whose petitions are known only to God;
And bless all those that have sought Your wisdom, heard Your answers, and are trying to do Your will on this Earth!

However, yesterday I came home from work to find a portrait of Jesus sitting next to my wife, drawn by my daughter. The story behind it is that she had a very vivid dream Thursday night, and it was simply that she was standing outside next to Jesus, who was looking past her intently at something. Without turning, he said simply: "What happened to you wasn't your fault."
This was so compelling that she woke up and drew the portrait from her perspective - Jesus gazing past the viewer, looking into the distance. She has struggled with her faith for a long time, but last week started attending the adult faith formation class ("Becoming Catholic" formerly RCIA), and really enjoyed it. That has been her first opportunity to get to know a group of young people face to face in years.

Here's a story that will restore your confidence in the American medical system.
My 93 y/o M-I-L left 93 years of Ohio living to stay with in CO for the duration about a month ago. We were going through her prescriptions to make sure we had everything straight. She takes sodium chloride tablets for low sodium. The pharmacy label from Ohio on one of her NaCl bottles it said this:
Patient name: M___ R___ (not my M-I-L)
Rx: Amphetamine 17 mg tablets
Instructions: Take one tablet every morning for attention deficit disorder.
The bottle was labeled 'Sodium Chloride' on the manufacturer's label, and they were definitely salt tablets. Obviously some pharmacy tech had sloppily applied the wrong label for the wrong patient on the wrong bottle. To make matters worse, these were meds she brought with her from an assisted living place in Ohio. Nice to know someone was looking out for her in OH.

I don't understand the Bondi-hate, either. If you're a fan of Pres. Trump, and looking for affirmation from the Lefty media, you're not going to find it. Yes, many of the Federal district judges are acting like lunatics, but they are repeatedly getting slapped-down by the U.S. Supreme Court.
The violence and deranged rhetoric we're getting from the Democrat (i.e., Commie) politicians and their allies is not coming from a position of strength. They are desperate and know that they are loosing. President Trump has cut-off their flow of money, and deporting the illegals.

It is also helpful to realize that we do not have an infinite supply of flawless people who can readily be plugged into a job.
I think a lot of the hate against her is performative. Trump used to be an outcast, and those who supported him had huge audiences.
Now he's been mainstreamed, and content creators have to create their own brands. Being for Trump is no longer enough, so they compete with each other to see who can out-Trump Trump.
Right now they're baying for mass arrests without any concern for rolling up networks or getting convictions. They look at J6 and wonder why we can't do that, and the answer is that we are not completely corrupt and willing to send innocent people to jail.
We're supposed to be the good guys, yet the same people who are lauding Charlie Kirk are advocating leftist-style sweeps. I'm totally burned out on these people slamming their spoons on their high chair and demanding Trump do this or that, or claiming NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE!1!

Years ago I was an RCIA sponsor, and one of the questions that we were all asked was how we would react if we died at that moment? What would we say to Jesus?
Lots of deep introspection from the college kids, but for me the issue was simply whether my family would be taken care of without me. That's still the case.
Obviously, I also want to experience more things, particularly watching the grandkids grow up, maybe see my other daughters married with kids of their own, but that is not my decision. So I try to always keep up on insurance and make sure people know where important documents are. The brush I had with death in 2019 was helpful in that respect.

People in antifa were arrested last night. 3 women were arrested for stalking and doxxing ICE agents and they supposedly seized phones and computers and are looking at digital footprints. The msm is not going to report this stuff for obvious reasons. You've got to look for other sources. Follow Andy Ngo on X if you want antifa updates.
Other people in the Russia collusion conspiracy are being looked but unless you are running a corrupt investigation and leaking to drive narratives, Democrats, what's happening behind the scenes is unknown. Nobody really knew about Comey's pending indictments until hours before they dropped.
I believe they are trying to build a conspiracy case against the people Miller named last night and possibly more people. But I don't expect them to keep my abreast of every move they make because that would be stupid and ultimately counterproductive. Waiting sucks, doesn't nothing is happening.

Lots of tension within Communism. It's interesting that National Socialism is considered of the right, when it is just rebranded Stalinism - Communism based on nationality.
It was obvious that national feeling surpassed class consciousness. Workers in England were not going to strike in solidarity with workers in France, or Germany. But they would strike against their own elites.
For all that people invoke Nazis, most people don't know the first thing about them.

There is a 100% chance that all the targets are aware that they are under investigation yet none of them says anything because they are working out their media strategy for when the indictment is filed.

Indictments don't work that way. First, you have to have a Trump loyalist in as district attorney. For better or worse, there are something like 94 US District Attorneys across the nation. Democrats have been shutting down getting any of these through until the Senate just recently changed the rules to prevent that. Second, in addition, like the POS DA in the Eastern District of VA that was preventing Comey from being indicted, Grassley in the Senate Judiciary is allowing the two blue slips policy to block Trump's preferred nominees in states where two Democrats are senators.
Old senatorial courtesy policy that has been abused by Democrats, like the filibuster, like nominations, etc.
List of DA's. Only the asterisks are Trump II appointees. https://tinyurl.com/5yxdd3kc Carets are acting DA's, often career staff.
So every federal charge has to go through a grand jury per US Constitution and must be in the district and place where the alleged crime occurred. Comey is being charged in ED of VA for lying because Covid had him videoing his testimony from home.

DoJ informs you normally if you are a target for grand jury because of the privilege of not testifying before one. Witnesses are often only given subpoenas because at least theoretically they have no privilege against testifying about charges related to other people. But really anyone that gets a grand jury subpoena needs to understand that a) they can compel your testimony, and b) if you mention something in your testimony that can allow you to be charged in the case at hand or later. Thus, hire a lawyer for advice even if a witness and not an official target. Questions about others are almost always something a witness has to testify about as they can compel you to testify under contempt of court power by offering you transactional or complete immunity for testimony. Again, devil in the details and lawyer needed to determine trap doors in such agreements.
FWIW, attorneys for targets and witnesses cannot enter the grand jury room.

Another thing is that the assassination of Charlie Kirk has completely stripped the Lefties of their self-asserted moral high ground. Millions of people with a functioning conscience saw video of many Lefties gleefully celebrating the death of a man just sitting in a chair talking. Kirk's assassination has been called a Christian martyrdom and I have come to the conclusion that is correct.
Interestingly, among the Catholic clergy that has talked about Kirk's assassination, Cardinal Dolan (not a "rad-trad" by any measure) spoke about being saddened and prompted to learn more about him. He later declared Kirk to be a "modern-day St. Peter." I think Cardinal Dolan meant that Charlie Kirk was an evangelist spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ to the pagans.

I agree so it is a good thing that we have JDV48 waiting in the wings to take the reins as well as all those young vibrant cabinet members working to implement the agenda.
There is so much going on at so many levels that it is impossible to know the extent of what the new management is accomplishing. Trump is winning these crazy court battles. Just this week, the foreign aid recissions were approved by the SC.
Patience.

Federal system is different than state--in states, offenders can be prosecuted via information and/or grand juries. Federal prosecutions require a federal indictment via grand jury per the US Constitution itself. And those indictments have to come from the federal district where the crime is alleged to have occurred.
In most states, cops can pick someone up under a warrant, sweat them, and submit that to prosecutor who can give the go ahead to a judicial pretrial hearing to charge someone by information.
Fed's can't do that and in complicated cases, to build probable cause, you have to go through the grand jury system. FWIW, the Watergate grand juries were meeting for months before indictments were issued and they were still in operation two years AFTER Nixon had resigned investigating the small fry. If you care to read some old fascinating history, Nixon's Grand Jury testimony post presidency is available online. He testified after resignation about the whole Watergate era including politics then.

There is caselaw on what is called the nexus of the crime for interstate prosecutions. Smith had that problem as special prosecutor--he wanted to try Trump in DC but his Mar a Lago raid happened in FL which is how Judge Cannon was assigned to the confidential documents case rather than in DC where Trump's presidential documents were loaded up. Sometimes cases get consolidated but it gets really complicated with multi state investigations as to where the 'crime' was actually committed.

In the case of Comey though, pretty clear he 'spoke' his lies to Congress in his home in ED of VA so it has a stronger claim of nexus than perhaps the servers through which the videocall was routed.

Comey's problem (and that of a judge trying to let him off) is that apparently DoJ has seven former employees that have stated on the record that Comey lied. Even a judge is not going to be able to dismiss that case with being at risk for having to do the trial all over again.
Instead look for subtler moves like jury selection in allowing biased lefties to serve or evidentiary motions.
From the last time I looked at that particular statistic, summary dismissals are the most overturned rulings of trial judges on appeal. Jury instructions come next.

But it is relatively easy to tack on additional charges in an amended indictment. If Comey sent or destroyed evidence over the wires aka internet, then you get into wire fraud charges. Nexus can be muddy in that case as the Servers with that information can be in the 'cloud'. So Comey in office destroying evidence of a conspiracy after being fired in 2016 (and that destruction was not known at the time), might be tried for something that was on servers in Utah.
At one time, during the Trump I administration, a special prosecutor and grand jury in Utah was impaneled. Purpose unknown as no indictments ensued.

I would agree. But it is interesting to what degree the 'career' DoJ staff is literally committing career suicide trying to keep even a minor indictment from coming down the tracks.

And DoJ can appeal to the 4th Circuit to reinstate charges. Basically the only way you can dismiss a case with prejudice is after a jury is impaneled and hears the prosecution's case. A judge can then entertain defense motions to dismiss but again, that is risky as appellate courts can reinstate the charges in a new trial.
Otherwise a sloppy dismissal is reversed by appellate courts and the trial judge has to do all the work over again. Sometimes, the appellate court can even assign the case to another judge to try if the behavior of the trial judge is especially egregious.
The risk is more subtle in Comey's case as the evidence is clearly there that he lied. And covering up such facts means obstruction.

My pleasure as always. Huber also was investigating Uranium 1 and Killary's dealings with it. Shut down shop in 2020 with no indictments. Trump at the time called Huber a waste disposal for important government documents. By putting those documents under seal as grand jury investigations, it allowed DoJ to prevent normal release under FOIA.
Sometimes investigations are used at the Fed level to simply hide evidence of crimes under the seal of investigatory materials not to be released due to grand jury proceedings.

The DC Circuit seems to have some uniquely stupid and cartoonishly biased judges who just make things up to get headlines.
If that sort of thing spreads outside the beltway, there are various remedies for it, and at least some judges are aware that their reputation (and therefore legitimacy) has suffered immense damage.
There may be a few adults in the room who don't think going down in history as a legal idiot is worth saving Comey's bacon.
Remember, even the DC clowns were trying to stop policies, not spare specific people facing overwhelming evidence.

Our political system became deranged during the Obammy years. Legislators no longer bothered to legislate other than massive giveaways to special interests, Judges no longer felt bound by the law, precedent, or even human decency, administrative agencies became fascist in protecting the Dem party heart and soul, and Presidents Biden and Obama delighted in illegal and unethical actions along with their minions in high office.
Obama was our King John--a vicious petty minded asshole that destroyed the rule of law. And Biden is the zombie that gave Obammy another term in effect giving Mayorkas free rein to bring in over 9 million invaders in 4 years.
So, all of my predictions are based on normal processes because fathoming the degree of lawlessness among Democrat judges is simply not something the legal system can predict. YOLO judicial style by essentially foreigners made judges.

Fusion Ken works though for NBC, not Fusion. And he is the voice of the Deep State which used Fusion as a deniable cut out. Back when the NSA director highlighted illegal searches by contractors, it is not impossible that Fusion was one of the contractors or was fed contractor information from these illegal searches of the NSA database for political purposes.

Comey was in office for only four years yet he destroyed the FBI's reputation permanently as lawless. Wray did even more damage turning the FBI into a political Stasi going after trad Catholics and grandmas for Jan 6 for parading.
Both deserve every indictment for lying, obstructing justice, and abuse of FISA/NSA networks for political prosecutions. Hanging is far too good for either of those smug evil bastards.

Organizational imperatives mean that the larger the organization, the more it can pay, have more power, more budget, more grifting. So the organization is no longer doing its primary task--education but instead following organization imperatives of more taxes, more budget, more serving grifters and budding pols, more high paid administrators, and so on.
None of them have skin in the game if students fail and they most certainly do not give one flip for teachers and students under their charges. In large systems, the school board and administrators work instead for other interests--grifters, politicians, and special interest groups.

Recycling trash. Universities follow the same pattern with 'national' searches. What inevitably happens is you get these crappy administrators that fail in one place but promptly are snapped up by another city or state to do the same service for them.
Police chiefs in particular are there mainly for politicians to promote an agenda, rather than arrest criminals, and when that agenda fails, serve as well paid scapegoats to send to another city to not protect and serve that population either. They are hirelings and patronage for local pols and provide deniability for bad policing decisions caused by local pols.

With no exceptions I've yet stumbled across, MAGA types (gawd I hate such dumb labels, but you know what I mean) frame their comments, and especially their reaction to the characteristically ridiculous commentary by regime apologists, improperly.
"Taste of your own medicine." "How do you like the new rules?" And many variations on this.
Wrong, critically wrong. The entire point is that the coup/etc involved *improper and illegal actions to weaponize law enforcement etc against political opponents*. The prosecution of Comey et al is the exact opposite - the *proper* use of law enforcement to prosecute *actual criminal activity*.
Not semantics. But, apparently, far far beyond the ability of most of America, including "MAGA" luminaries, to reason. It's an unserious country for reasons reaching far beyond the degradation of the "left".

Rose City Antifa has been linked to some of the big movers and shakers in Portland government, and it is rumored also to state level movers and shakers.
In a side note, Gov Tina Kotex has declared a budget emergency of a 375 million shortfall, from the surplus predicted this Spring, since Trump has shut down federal funds to the state.
which means she was planning to run 1/3 of the budget on Covid and DEI funding.

I think is more fair to attribute the how do you like the new rules to simply recognizing that the rule of law in the modern era has essentially been gutted since the FDR days.
Nixon was felled by a coup despite LBJ doing far worse things as president. FDR was so lawless that even his attorney general at the time, and future Scotus appointee Robert Jackson refused to persecute Andrew Mellon on taxes.
And FDR played footsie with communists and allowed them to thoroughly penetrate his administration and he put a fellow traveler in as VP (Wallace).
The truth is that history shows a continuous struggle between the criminal Democrat party viewing themselves as the permanent owners of government since the Federalists Party died , To that end, no constitutional provision, no Bill of Rights, is safe when Democrats are in office. Take a look at the hideous Woodrow Wilson administration and its lawlessness as an example.

From my dealings in politics and studying government in its forms for the last 30 years of my life. I have come to the conclusion that big city governments are primarily there not for residents but to create what Robert Dahl claimed was a deformed polyarchy to protect special interests.
Unlike Dahl though, the interests I identify are not only developers and legitimate businesses but criminal networks of drug sales, prostitution, and other illegal goods like human trafficking. Essentially, governments are like Cicero IL during the Capone era. These criminal networks are useful for banks (money laundering), politicians (contributions, bribes, violence, and voting fraud), and those consuming their criminal goods for employees, drugs, violence, and other nasty products sold by the underworld.
Basically an interlocking system that voters cannot fix of criminality and favor selling.

Portland used to be run for the developers, the big businesses working themselves into monopolies, and as a springboard to state and federal positions and power. The crime was street level and focused around the mills and the port. In a way it worked but the industry started going away in the 70's and the crime was what was left.
