When I got married, we were riding in the limo out to Long Island and got stuck in traffic on the Grand Central. The driver in a car next to me indicated to roll down the window, so I did. He tossed me a pack of Twizzlers. Don't ask me, I was only there.

Posted by: RickZ at October 31, 2025 10:11 PM (gKDq2)

35 We put together ~225 candy packets for the trick-or-treaters this year (150 wasn't enough last year). Gonna have to make more next year - we ran out around 7:30 pm this year, and there were lots of kids still coming!

Our neighbor from across the street came over and sat on our porch and helped hand out candy with us - it was a lot of fun to hang out together and ooh and ahh over all of the cute kiddos in their costumes 🧙‍♀️🎃

This year we put some "fairy wands" out in the yard so that everyone could see to get up on our porch. They worked out so well that we decided that next year we might hand those out in addition to candy so that everyone can see the trick-or-treaters and vice versa (our neighborhood streets are pretty dark at night).

We gave some out with swag bags at our anniversary party, and they were a huge hit with our younger guests 😊♥️

Licorice says you will always occupy the lowest rung of any org chart, a car you can neither fix nor afford to replace, malfunctioning appliances, cracked linoleum, roaches that will never be exterminated, store-brand soup, a sagging mattress.

Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at October 31, 2025 10:16 PM (tgvbd)

49 As I said in the thread on "Trump: Nuke the Filibuster, Pass the CR," changing circumstances now make it a massive political winner to do a limited nuke of cloture, just for continuing budget resolutions. What I didn't mention is that this golden opportunity only holds through Monday. I will explain.

First, the (D)s have contempt for their own base, and they're not entirely wrong, but they're sociopaths in a bubble. They really don't have an accurate view. I think that they think that if the (R)s nuke the filibuster, they can call it "violating the Minority's rights" and their base will hear RAAAAACISM. But through end of business Monday, that is completely defanged and Uno-Reversed if folks hear that (R)s got them their EBT over (D) objections.

Second, (D)s will cave on Wednesday, or maybe as early as Tuesday, and then claim that they finally got the (R)s to do the right thing. And the blatant inversive lie will work on dummies, so there is a very short window to pre-empt it.

That is engineer thinking. I'm talking about the affect on political fortunes, not the flow of electrons through the circuits. And giving people relief from a personal crisis is absolutely massive. You are literally making a category error.

Also, I'm speaking of a targeted nuke of just cloture for continuing budget resolutions. For a general nuke, I would want to see the House first passing a massive flotilla of bills on every subject under the sun, for every MAGA and MAHA base priority ever conceived. But that's not what I'm talking about.

They are real determined to meet people around here. My wife has completely lost patience with them. I never answer the door but she did once trying to be nice.

"Put a gargoyle statue by your front door." said a guy I worked with, after I'd mentioned being visited by JWs.

Apparently, his wife had placed some garden statue-- a gargoyle with gazing ball (popular in the 90's)-- near their entry & the JWs just stopped coming to their house.

"If only we had known! Took a while to realize that must have been what did it."

We've had so many problems with the Census People this year. It for some stupid survey they do in the off years from the actual Census.

They are sneaky too. They'll leave a leaflet in between the storm door and the front door than the assholes wait down the street watching to see if you open the door to get the leaflet.

We always keep the storm door locked now.

It is probably some sort of goddess and has some intrinsic artistic merit. I moved it to the front door as it’s meant to be displayed outdoors, and the front door area provides some protection from the elements. It seems to keep Jehovah’s Witnesses and the like away. I explained it’s provenance to my minister, and he exclaimed,”You don’t have to apologize for having it!” And I don’t.

T2 is only flashing SFX, T1 is the superior story...so much so, it got sued.

Rambo 1 is a good drama, body count of 1 and not by Rambo's hand. Rambo 2 is peak action and defines what a Rambo movie is.

She got Musk to knock her up with space babies. And then, in Musk general fashion, he got bored and dumped her, she got jealous, there's some sort of legal thing going on.

Nobody looked good, the crew she was hanging out with, including babylon bee and for some time turning point, weren't great in this, somehow involved in setting them up.

She should have known Musk was a 55yo peterpan dipshit that wasn't going to sweep her off her feet to live happily ever after. She was young but not that young.

Musk making a big deal about how she wasn't as young as he wanted. Dude, you sick ai gooning mfer.

It was all bad. But like I said before, I do really hope at least the kid will be ok. I mean on one hand, he'll be drowning in money as he grows up, but on the other, he'll be drowning in money as he grows up.

Halloween

The only day of the year when a distinct Hungarian accent is Cool.

Fine. Money for me.

Did twelve hours of Scary Count Miklos today. First part was at Walmart, part of the script I was given was about "you can buy still candy on SNAP today, last day"

Or "Ultima Dia" in the Spanish script, which was about 75%.

I was encouraged to be "scary" so I started with Hola! Count Miklos Immigra de CBP!"

265 Fired and escorted out, but with the cheap-ass Walmart Dracula costume.

I have a much better Hungarian Count outfit, don't wear it for work, because the temp agency does not pay for dry cleaning.

So the temp agency sent me to some bars and clubs. Hourly rate the same, but they buy you drinks.

Anyway, I insisted on being paid hourly by Venmo, money to Eyegore to stock the bar back at the ruined castle and start the Gulyas.

Now back at the castle, fire in the large fireplace. Changed out of that polyester crap into my favorite silk smoking jacket. Brushed teeth/fangs.

Now we await the cute chicks in the Slutty Vampire costumes. Slutty Nurses etc. are quite welcome.

Eyegore gets the best chicks. Girls like guys with the "hump" thing going.

She only made them at Christmas because they were so difficult.
Other than delicious, they had to be made up and baked a bit then taken out and allowed to rise, then baked to finish.
Almost ivory color with a thin crust about an inch or so high. Looked like two pieces the base cookie shaped with a dome.
She took the recipe with her.

T-1000 costume. I'll post a few more below, thanks to the Massimo/@RainMaker1973 account.

Beware of deceitful children tricking you into giving them triple treats.

Here's a scary scene for you: The Devil himself, confronting none other than Mr. Rourke.

KISS's first appearance on TV, from 1974.

Baby elephant keeps close to her mama's skirts.

Carrie costume:

carriecostume.jpg

Super Dave Osborne's first stunt. This is history right here.

Garret sent this over. It's another one of his favorites. More clips from Garret's favorite Center Square Halloween Special.

So I had those links yesterday, but then Soothsayer one-upped me and linked the entire Paul Lynde Halloween Special. I think I saw that. I remember this stupid joke about KISS, something about them fighting as kids, so their moms told them to "kiss and make up." I'm guessing that terrible joke is from this special.

Adorable Caddyshack costume. The kid has no idea what's going on but I'm sure it's fun for his father.

Possum gets a good spooking. And a cougar also gets a good spook.

This is my favorite Halloween costume. First I thought it was just fake. Now I think it's real, and ingenious.

Halloween party snacks. More snacks.

Halloween nachos.

Possibly excessive.

The Japanese lead the world in the Cute/Nightmarish aesthetic.


I rate this as my least favorite costume. You were warned.

A classic.

Mrs B went to a wedding with her friend tonight. Halloween themed. She had to wear a costume. She holds up 3 costumes. One was a cheerleader, not bad since she was one in high school. The second was a ballet chick, also not bad since she did that for years. The 3rd was a witch. I said well, you would make a good witch. She looked me. I followed up quick with " well you were never a witch before". She says "nice save". At that point I'm glad I didn't add that it was a bit more age appropriate. lol

She did actually look good as a witch. She had a cool choker necklace with little bats, the dress was kinda Elvira like, and wore her black harley boots.

He made it to look like the terminator near the end of the move with the messed up face with the one glowing eye. He found a chrome terminator skull with eyes that lit up. He cut the skull apart to use the whole area around the one eye socket and part of the forehead, grafted it to his face and blended it using latex, hid the wires for the glowing eye under the latex and up over his ear, and then did all the torn flesh around the eye and parts of the face. Damn it looked real, frigging creepy. He won first place for that.

73 I liked that Kiss vidya. That was when they were a young band with a lot of potential. but they got too famous, too fast. I find it funny that the first song was Nothing to Lose, which is about talking the girl into buttsecks.

Still, a pretty cool set, and I would have loved seeing it as a kid. But stuff like that was supremely rare back in the day. First time I saw Kiss on TV was on that weird Paul Lynde special.

I think Glenn Reynolds (and certainly Ed Driscoll) are still dreaming of "Big Tent" conservatism, which is why NeverTrumpers get linked so often - although they're usually cagey about it; they'll go back 8 or 10 years to find a quote from, say, Jonah Goldberg that is consistent with garden variety conservatism (the same with Kevin Williamsom and others of that stamp). The problem is, the only interest the NeverTrumpers have in a big tent is to get in out of the rain occasionally and mooch the BBQ.

110 Paula Sevenbergen is writing an homage to Carrie for Mad Cave - no, that's not the joke. It's called "Flow" and it's a comic series.
Actually there's no joke.
"Flow" is about a sheltered teenager Dara Lund (hey, swedish name, might this be a self-insert...) who gets that first titular flow in a summer camp, and is of course bullied by girls who should know better, because girls are evil. They convince Dara she is cursed so get her to do humiliating rituals.
Now all the girls are grown up and are experiencing supernatural curses of their own.

Apparently Stephen King (who is an asshole) knew what he was talking about with Carrie and that is why women are still taking it seriously.

Pamelyn Ferdin played his daughter and she hated it. Worse was that she had to be replaced as Edna Unger on The Odd Couple, a job she really loved. Both Klugman and Randall treated her like a niece.
Lynde never called her anything but "kid" and she didn't like him as he as always cranky.

One minute quips on Hollywood Squares or pop-in as Uncle Arthur, Lynde was bearable, sustaining a series-NO!!

I've never understood the hype around Heinlein. I read Starship Troopers. It was...fine. OK. Not fantastic. I've read several other books of his and felt the same way. He's a good writer, but not top tier science fiction, IMHO (which is probably wrong, but whatever).

I was thinking Romeo13 was doing a little tongue-in-cheek there.

Whatever Verhoeven's intentions, imagine the movie really happened to us. Wouldn't it be GREAT if humanity really could be as nobly motivated and organized and united as the "satire" movie depicts? It shows the best of the best for us to laff at, but you can react to it positively too.

Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria. Thousands of Christians are being killed. Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter.

I am hereby making Nigeria a "COUNTRY OF PARTICULAR CONCERN" — But that is the least of it. When Christians, or any such group, is slaughtered like is happening in Nigeria (3,100 versus 4,476 Worldwide), something must be done!

I am asking Congressman Riley Moore, together with Chairman Tom Cole and the House Appropriations Committee, to immediately look into this matter, and report back to me.

The United States cannot stand by while such atrocities are happening in Nigeria, and numerous other Countries. We stand ready, willing, and able to save our Great Christian population around the World!

Black straight skirt, nice blouse, sturdy black lace-up shoes, cardigan sweater, modest pearl necklace - your basic Little Old Lady suit. Then I would take my darkest, reddest lipstick and smear it all around my mouth and across my teeth, and *smile* at them when I opened the door. “My, my, what dear little children.

Alejandro Mayorkas’ administration oversaw significant changes to U.S. immigration enforcement and border policies that resulted in historically high numbers of migrant encounters.

I did a search on her when people first started going gaga over her. Yeah, there are some pics of her that are not that good, and her face is weird. But, there are other pics that look really good. With her it seems to depend on makeup, expression, and angle of the pictures. She doesn't have much makeup on in a lot of the pics, and she still can look good. Its a mixed bag, but she is not ugly by any stretch of the imagination.

Well, Ace, according to the Internet: Twix was invented in 1967 in the United Kingdom by Mars, Inc.. It was initially sold under the name "Raider" in the UK and other European countries before being introduced to the United States in 1979 and renamed Twix.

Overall Impression

*This is a concise, values-driven leadership mantra rather than a traditional mission statement. It’s written in the first person, all-caps for emphasis, and uses the word “BECAUSE” as a hinge to connect vision (boardroom elevation) with rationale (strategic integration) and secondary focus (next-gen leaders). It signals an executive who sees resilience not as a buzzword but as a strategic capability that must be governed from the top.

Most execs talk about resilience; this one talks governance of resilience. Positions speaker as strategic translator between board and middle management."

Objective surface beauty is something for art. Actually beauty goes a lot deeper.

The most beautiful face can cover the nastiest person you've ever met. Eventually, it shows.

Youth fades, for both men and women, but I still think DH is the most handsome person I have ever met. He's gone gray, gained weight, farts a lot, and long ago abandoned the mullet (thank heaven), but I think he is positively adorable, so I adore him.

339 I think I won Halloween. We were going to be out of the house so I put out a bowl with candy figuring that the youngest kids will arrive first with their parents who would keep them from over-self-serving and then the first teenager to show up would dump the bowl. We just got back and not only is the bowl still half full, someone left me a gift of a slice of wrapped American cheese.

That's what I married for. Wasn't even in love, my heart belonged to a girl I lost to a car accident. But this one was smarter than me, good sense of humor, easy on the eyes and sane. But most importantly she had a pure heart.

I told myself that love would come later, that I would be a fool if I missed this opportunity. Best decision I ever made.

352 24 years and still strong It's the kind of love that Catelyn Stark talked about in GoT:

"Love didn’t just happen to us. We built it slowly over the years, stone by stone, for you, for your brothers and sisters, for all of us. It is not as exciting as secret passion in the woods, but it is stronger. It lasts longer,”

I've been head over heals in love, for 10 years. Moments of pure bliss, moments of debilitating pain. It was wonderful but unhealthy. I have felt the full power of Aphrodite and she is no sexualized bimbo. I'm lucky to have experienced that but it wasn't sustainable. Better a cozy winter blanket than sexy lingerie.

The Week In Woke

UK Glamour has chosen its "Women" of the Year.

Nine transgenders, Bigots!

ninetransgenders.jpg

They also honored a couple of actual women, including... Rachel Zegler.

The feds are investigating -- prepare yourself -- BLM's founders of defrauding donors to the tune of ninety million dollars.

The Department of Justice has reportedly launched an investigation into whether the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation misused millions of dollars in donations collected during the 2020 George Floyd protests. According to the Associated Press, federal agents have issued subpoenas and executed at least one search warrant as part of the probe, which is being run out of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California.

Sources familiar with the matter told the AP that the inquiry began under the Biden administration but has recently gained new momentum under President Trump. The Justice Department has declined to comment publicly, but the investigation centers on allegations that BLM defrauded donors who contributed during the nationwide unrest following Floyd's death in Minneapolis.

The Black Lives Matter Foundation raised more than $90 million in the months after Floyd's death, when cities across the country were rocked by protests that in many cases turned violent, resulting in deaths, fires, looting, and widespread property destruction. Critics of the organization have long accused its leadership of withholding information about how those funds were spent.


Remember when CBS morning show host Tony Dokoupils interviewed racist radical Ta-Nehisi Coates about his pro-Hamas screed against Israel (and Jews)? He pushed back against Coates, which is, you know, illegal. All media personnel are required to pretend that this low-IQ racist's every stupid statement is received wisdom from God Herself.

Dokoupils was forced to attend a struggle session by CBS. He probably would have been fired or suspended, save for the fact that Paramount's owner at the time, Shari Redstone, is Jewish and thought he acted like an actual journalist.


During the interview, Dokoupil asked some pointed questions to Coates about the book, including "Why leave out that Israel is surrounded by countries that want to eliminate it?"

He also told Coates: "I have to say, when I read the book, I imagine if I took your name out of it, took away the awards, the acclaim ... the content of that section would not be out of place in the backpack of an extremist."

After the interview, CBS News executives fielded complaints from staffers and then held a meeting on the unfortunate date of Oct. 7, the one-year anniversary of Hamas' attack on Israel. At meeting, CBS News CEO and her number two, Adrienne Roark, called out Dokoupil, who is Jewish, for the interview, saying it did not meet the network's editiorial standards.

Those words were questioned internally by supporters of Dokoupil at the meeting, as well as by Shari Redstone, the chair of CBS-parent Paramount Global, who backed the anchor, saying he had done a "great job" with the interview. Redstone added that CBS made a "mistake" in reprimanding Dokoupil and in saying it did not meet their standards.

Paramount co-CEO George Cheeks rushed to the defense of McMahon, backing her decision, while also saying the company needs to have "substantive dialogue" about perceptions of bias and "inconsistent treatment."

I bring that up as background to the new news: The "Race and Culture Unit" that Bari Weiss fired en masse (save for a single guy) was the group conducting that Struggle Session. They attacked Dokoupils for challenging Coates, and even faulted him for his... "tone and posture."

Moms for Liberty activist defeats a defamation suit after calling a DEI employee a "woke white savior" with a "god complex."

As you know, truth is a defense in defamation. Though that's not why the case was thrown out. To defame someone, you have to make a factual claim about them which is derogatory and untrue. Opinion doesn't count.

Note that leftwing judges routinely claim that factual claims that liberals make about conservatives -- like that Nick Sandmann approached and bullied the "Native American elder" -- are just "opinion," while they simultaneously argue that clear statements of opinion by conservatives, like that someone is "woke," are factual and thus defamatory.

In this case, the left-wing censorious judges claimed that her speech was so "hyperbolic" that it somehow transmuted opinion into fact.


A Moms for Liberty activist in Wisconsin described a onetime "social justice coordinator" in the local high school as a "white savior" and "woke" woman with a "god complex."

She said the employee is emblematic of diversity, equity and inclusion specialists who earn more than the district's teachers, "woke lunatics ... bullying you into silence and compliance," and should "forfeit her job to a person of color" if she "really wants to promote equity."

Scarlett Johnson spent nearly 1,100 days defending herself against a defamation suit by the coordinator, Mary MacCudden, before a divided state appeals court cleared her name this week, overturning a lower court that said a jury should consider whether Johnson's hyperbolic language implied factual assertions about MacCudden.

The duration of the litigation shows the ongoing legal and financial peril for parental rights activists who criticize government employees using language typical of conservatives against those they consider progressive, authoritarian and hypocritical.

I can personally attest that conservatives accused of defamation will be destroyed by any left-wing judge hearing their case.


"The defamation lawsuit against her was meritless and should have been promptly dismissed," Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty deputy counsel Luke Berg, whose group represented Johnson on appeal, said in announcing Tuesday's verdict, three years to the day after MacCudden filed the complaint in Milwaukee County Circuit Court.

But the process is the punishment, as I can also attest.

Canada's top general, everybody. She literally cries about "structural racism."

The University of California system -- taxpayer supported -- now employs a test to determine if you can even enroll in the school. A quiz asks you what pronouns you should use to refer to a transgender, and if you don't say whatever fake pronouns the transgender wants you to use, you're scolded for "harrassment" and blocked from registering.


Read this. A woke Fairfax County, VA prosecutor appears to have deliberately engineered a constitutional violation to set free a repeat sexual felon who accosted a "heavily pregnant" mom and her daughter in a women's bathroom.

When I finally took the stand, the attorney for the Commonwealth asked me if the man who was in the bathroom that day was in the room.

I paused, confused--because I knew what was going to happen next.

The courtroom had been packed all day but as case after case was handled, ours was the last one--now it was just the judge, court reporter, bailiff, the defendant, his lawyer, the Commonwealth attorney, and I.

The arresting officer wasn't in the room. The other victim and her husband had been given a new court date and sent home.

I adjusted my baby against my chest and looked at her as she repeated the question: Do you see the man you reported to police in this room today?

Why was she doing this? What was she doing?

I was sweating in my oversized cashmere nursing sweater and I felt prickles down my back. Everyone was staring at me. I'm not a lawyer. She asked me a question... and she was "on my side" so I should answer it, right?

I adjusted my baby again to give myself a free hand--and I pointed to him.

And just as I expected, his lawyer immediately pointed out there was nobody else present in the courtroom who it could be and therefore we had violated his constitutional right to due process.

The judge agreed. Hell, *I* agreed--but then I asked WHY hadn't the Commonwealth given me a photo array to choose from? Why did she ASK that?

Too late. It didn't matter that he was on surveillance footage entering the bathroom before us and pushing past us as we fled.

He was set free.

As I walked out of the court room the arresting officer spotted me from down the hall and ran over to me "Is it back in this courtroom? Is it starting?"

No, I told him, it's already over. He had been sent to another courtroom "by mistake." He didn't even get a chance to testify. He looked horrified.

The Commonwealth attorney and "victims advocate" that morning assured us they were going to fight for us. They were SO SORRY this had happened to us. They were SO GRATEFUL that I had come to testify in my condition.

Instead they seemingly intentionally let the monster walk free.

It's been two years.

Yesterday he was released on bail for yet another crime--one of at least THIRTEEN he's committed since that day in court--including sexual abuse of a child under 15.

His arrest record from just the last 5 years spans four pages on the Virginia court website.

Look at how many women--and CHILDREN--he's victimized since that day.

Look how many times his victims have gone to court just as I did only to see him set free again and again and again.

This is NOT happening by accident.

This is deliberate.

More here. The guy is constantly sexually assaulting women and masturbating in public and flashing women.

Steve Descano, the prosecutor who keeps setting him free is, get this, a Soros prosecutor.

A black principal was suspended (or fired, they won't say) from a Dallas-area high school for taking black students aside and telling them that they're the reason the school is getting mediocre ratings from the accreditation boards. You're not allowed to say this.

You're allowed to scold white children for things they never did, like owning slaves, but you're not allowed to take black students aside and tell them they're bringing the school's averages down.

In a letter Monday to parents and teachers at Woodrow Wilson High School, Dallas ISD officials named an interim principal and said they are investigating a "recent incident" at the campus.

The letter comes after Principal Chandra Hooper-Barnett held a meeting with the school's Black students about their academic performance, two parents told The Dallas Morning News.

Hooper-Barnett acknowledged she held a meeting during an advisory period last week that "caused concern within our school community," according to a letter she sent to families Monday.

"The decision to hold that meeting and subsequent discussion that transpired was not appropriate. I take full ownership and responsibility for what occurred, and I want to assure you that it was never my intent to single out or cause harm to any group of students," Hooper-Barnett wrote.

In the letter, she said she is "committed to learning from this and rebuilding the trust that has been shaken."

Woodrow Wilson, located in East Dallas, served nearly 2,000 students last school year, per state data. Black students made up 6% of the campus population in the 2023-24 school year. The school received a B in this year's academic accountability ratings.

Neither letter addressed the status of Hooper-Barnett, who has led the school for three years. Danielle Petters -- who served as principal of J.L. Long Middle School for seven years and H. Grady Spruce High School for four -- will serve as interim principal of the campus, according to a letter from Aaron Aguirre-Castillo, executive director of Dallas ISD's Woodrow Wilson vertical team.

In her letter, Hooper-Barnett said she would "do what is best for our campus, even if that means stepping aside to allow for healing and growth."

Speaking of grades: A Harvard report faulted professors for giving 60% of students "A's" in their classes, stating that the grading system no longer served the purpose of distinguishing between students in terms of achievement.

Harvard students are crying about it.

Steve McGuire
@sfmcguire79

Harvard reports that it is "failing to perform the key functions of grading."

Its grading practices are "damaging the academic culture of the College."

"Faculty newly arrived at Harvard are surprised at how leniently our courses are graded."

Students say academics feel "fake."


Jack Mac
@JackMacCFB

Harvard just released a fascinating study that shows they've made their school too easy.

They've been giving out too many A's and passing too many students. In 2005, 25% of grades were A's. In 2025? 60%!!!!

How did this happen? They forced their professors to adjust to "less prepared students" and those with "imposter syndrome" or other forms of stress.

Everything is fake...including grades at Harvard.



Steve McGuire
@sfmcguire79

13h
These Har
vard students...did not react well to the report on grade inflation:

"The whole entire day, I was crying. I skipped classes on Monday, and I was just sobbing in bed because I felt like I try so hard in my classes, and my grades aren't even the best. It just felt soul-crushing."

"What makes a Harvard student a Harvard student is their engagement in extracurriculars. Now we have to throw that all away and pursue just academics. I believe that attacks the very notion of what Harvard is."

"I can't reach my maximum level of enjoyment just learning the material because I'm so anxious about the midterm, so anxious about the papers, and because I know it's so harshly graded. If that standard is raised even more, it's unrealistic to assume that people will enjoy their classes."

soulcrushing.jpg


Amazing. Likely immigrant or even illegal alien woman demands that we stop giving away "meal kits" to food banks, because that's not as good as giving the indigent SNAP EBT cards to pick their own foods.

She also said that the white people who are donating this free charity food are donating "white centric" food items.

When we make meal kits for St. Vincent De Paul to give those who are hungry, all we hear is "thank you" and not "wow, these are white centric"

10 A segment on FNC describes the plights of parents of kids committing suicide after getting way too deep into their phones, using an app called "Character AI."

These weeping moms have one thing in common. All got their pre-teen kids phones thinking it was for their safety, so as to have an electronic leash. A tether.

Any smart mom, and none of the examples were, would be smart enough to take away their kids devices that can connect to the toobs, the moment their behavior became suspect. Not one second later.

They are and were stupid, and now they grieve their dead little morons. And don't know why. They blame the AI bot, and are hoping for big settlements.

"One source indicates that in 1966, about 22 % of all grades awarded were in the “A” range; by 1996 that had risen to about 46 %"

"Another piece of data: In a 2006 article, it was noted that A grades accounted for ~23.7 % of all grades in one recent year (1999-2000) at Harvard."

41 Perversion is not functioning as designed- these are perverts. They will always be perverts no matter how much they demand we reject reality. They can dress it up with euphemisms, reject clinical descriptive language (much like clinical terms for low IQ- moron, imbecile, ignoramus, which were replaced by retarded, which was then replaced). Eventually, no matter what term you use to describe the perversion, the public catches on and it becomes pejorative because it describes the underlying condition.

Don’t say it if it isn’t true, don’t do it if it isn’t right is something I’ve espoused to all my children (and tried to live). Sometimes they’re looking for pushback.

PS - I started good candy b/c I'm in the back of the neighborhood and when I moved in way too many years ago, no one came on my street b/c no one gave...so I gave them a reason. Now my street is hopping each year, with many more homeowner givers and kids treating here...

Yep, and it was true. Those who made it to senior year were like a grizzled squad of veterans.

I we had a birthday dinner with my daughter and sra blaster kept trying to say him and instead kept saying her and it was even worse.

I decided then and there that I would not play the pronoun game or use another name.

She claims she started living as a man when she was 15. The school participated in the cover up as did her mother.

She's twenty now and revealed her transition before last Christmas. THAT was a holiday party let me tell you!

Maybe she will realize the truth later.

When I was in college there was a battle for As and Bs because there would always be a defined small % that were allowed to get As Bs. I wasn't competitive. There was this one gal, from Greece, incredibly attractive, and a lowkey genius. Straight As, but she earned them the vertical way.

Only a few times she would ask to study with me because I did well on the homework when everyone else didn't. Didn't happen often because I'm dumb. We'd be going over homework and I realized, because for a brief moment gazed into her eyes, that she was an IQ vampire! I knew she would go into that next test and ace it now and I would just stumble and that's exactly what happened!

Really she was just super smart and whatever she wanted, she would go and take it. I was a little in awe. I assume she's running a multibillion $$$ international crime ring now or something.

The boy started calling himself by another name. He thought I should do so as well. I told him that I named him, I was satisfied with it, and so should he be.

He also yelled at me that he was gay. Couldn't be further from the truth, but you know, he thought it would prove that I was a horrible, intolerant parent. Told him I couldn't care less. He got over it.

Not chance she is an immigrant. She is a native born white liberal woman. Just listen to her accent. And her speech patterns.

She's even got a nose ring.

She *might* have converted to Islam, or she might be just role playing or appropriating.

But I am sure she is a native born white chick.

I knew a guy in HS who got 1600 on the SAT. This was before the writing thing when 1600 was a perfect score. We weren’t really friends and I did t keep in touch post HS.

Out of the blue one day I thought of him and looked him up on LinkedIn. He’s an accountant for a big 4 firm. Good job and money and all. but I expected someone on that level to be an Sr VP at Google or something. Or start his own Google.

She objected to that. Wanted an apology. I won't apologize for loving her.

So I've got that going for me.

That fucking sucks. Wish I had some words of wisdom for you. I guess all you can really do is let her know you love her but hold your ground on reality and leave the door open, metaphorically speaking. Having seen some other family rifts up close it will probably be unproductive for you to go running after her - it will likely be unreciprocated and make her dig in harder. You know her better than I do obviously but that's the kind of thing I've seen in other family craterings.

33 Chat GPT says this about Harvard students receiving A's in classes in 1990:

"One source indicates that in 1966, about 22 % of all grades awarded were in the “A” range; by 1996 that had risen to about 46 %"

"Another piece of data: In a 2006 article, it was noted that A grades accounted for ~23.7 % of all grades in one recent year (1999-2000) at Harvard."
Posted by: Lady in Black

------------

But even back then Harvard graded high. They justified by saying these were all really smart kids.

In the school I went to, a top 10% GPA in the hardest engineering major was under 3.

I took many classes where the dean had determined the curve would force 70% of students to retake or switch majors (only 30% got C or above.)

And yet 10 years into my career I managed all the stupid harvard fucks who thought they were smart cause the got all A as Haaaavad.

You can be super smart but lack the characteristics needed to climb high on the corporate ladder or to be a successful entrepreneur. If you don't have the necessary extroversion and ruthlessness you won't get far in corporate promotion, and if you don't have extremely high risk tolerance and ability to operate with no external structure then you won't make it as an entrepreneur.

"Rising Democrat Star" Arrested for Covertly Filming Two Political Opponents Having Sex to Blackmail Them

This is the Democrat-Antifa-Media Party.

A Maryland state senator once seen as a rising Democrat star is facing explosive allegations that she conspired to secretly record and blackmail her political critics. Federal prosecutors have charged State Sen. Dalya Attar, her brother Joseph "Yossi" Attar, and Baltimore Police Officer Kalman Finkelstein with conspiracy, extortion, illegal wiretapping, and violations of the Travel Act -- a slate of federal offenses that could bring decades in prison if convicted.

According to a newly unsealed 20-page federal indictment, Attar and her co-defendants allegedly set up hidden cameras disguised as smoke detectors inside an apartment belonging to two of Attar's critics -- one of them a former campaign consultant who had worked on her 2018 campaign but later supported her political rivals. The second target was reportedly in a romantic relationship with the consultant and married to someone else at the time. Prosecutors say the trio not only filmed the pair in bed together but used the footage to intimidate them into silence.

Investigators claim the covert operation was designed to protect Attar's political standing as she eyed re-election and higher office. WhatsApp messages cited in the indictment suggest the senator herself discussed the scheme and its potential leverage. "We have a very easy ... simple way to get her to just shut up and leave us alone," Attar allegedly wrote in one message. "She's worried about her kids' shidduchim." In another message, she added, "I'm not saying we leak this anywhere or ever do that ... but I'm saying we warn her ... 'If you go ahead and screw with me, we're going to leak it.'"

The intimidation campaign allegedly escalated in December 2021, when Joseph Attar met one of the victims at a Baltimore shopping center and issued a chilling threat: "I have hours of footage of you in bed with [Victim 1] ... Go to [Victim 1] and say leave Dalya alone ... or I'll share this video with everyone you know -- every Rabbi in town, your kids, your wife, her daughters." Federal prosecutors say the threats continued into 2022 as Attar's team sought to keep both victims quiet ahead of her re-election effort. To cover their tracks, the indictment alleges, the defendants coordinated through encrypted WhatsApp messages and routinely deleted their communications.

Attar, a Democrat and former Baltimore prosecutor, was first elected to the Maryland House of Delegates in 2018 and appointed to the state Senate in January 2025. She had been viewed as an emerging figure within Maryland's Orthodox Jewish community, where she built a reputation as a tough prosecutor and vocal progressive on local issues.

Bonus: Kamala Harris shares the heart-breaking moment when she learned she had lost the presidential race. She said there were 200,000 votes she needed to win that her campaign manager "couldn't find."

She uses the same word -- "find" -- that Fatty Fanny Funstuff claimed proved a criminal intent to order Georgia's election officials to fake the vote. Seems like it's a normal bit of campaign jargon.

Barely related: LA officials told firefighters to ignore a smoldering fire that later reignited the Pallisades inferno.

* Firefighters alerted a battalion chief that areas of a New Year's Day fire in Pacific Palisades, known as the Lachman fire, were still smoldering the next day, according to text messages.

* The firefighters were ordered to pack up and leave anyway, instead of monitoring the burn area for reignitions.

* Federal authorities say the blaze reignited on Jan. 7, destroying thousands of homes and killing 12 people.

Firefighters mopping up a small brush fire that authorities say reignited as the Palisades fire five days later were ordered to leave the original burn scene even though they complained the ground was still smoldering and rocks remained hot to the touch, according to firefighter text messages reviewed by The Times.
To the firefighters' surprise, their battalion chief ordered them to roll up their hoses and pull out of the area on Jan. 2 -- the day after the 8-acre blaze was declared contained -- rather than stay and make sure there were no hidden embers that could spark a new fire, the text messages said.

On the morning of Jan. 7, according to federal authorities, strong winds stoked the remnants of the New Year's Day blaze into the firestorm that killed 12 people and destroyed thousands of homes in Pacific Palisades, Malibu and Topanga.
In one text message, a firefighter who was at the scene on Jan. 2 wrote that the battalion chief had been told it was a "bad idea" to leave the burn scar unprotected because of the visible signs of smoldering terrain. "And the rest is history," the firefighter wrote in recent weeks.

As we ask every single day: If they were doing this all deliberately, how would their actions look any different?

8 She uses the same word -- "find" -- that Fatty Fanny Funstuff claimed proved a criminal intent to order Georgia's election officials to fake the vote.

They were planning on doing a repeat of 2020, but the 2024 election wasn't close enough to steal.

Remember, Kamala's undelivered Election Night speech said that the election was very close, and that it was going to take days and days to count the votes, and that no one should assume who the winner was until all the votes had been counted.

Wikipedia:

Attar was born fourth of six children to an Iranian-Jewish father and a Moroccan-Jewish mother.[1] She was raised as a Sephardi Orthodox Jew in Baltimore,[2] where she attended the Bais Yaakov School for Girls.[3] Attar later graduated from the University of Baltimore, where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in criminal justice in 2011, and the University of Maryland, Baltimore, where she earned her Juris Doctor degree in 2014.[4]
While attending the University of Baltimore, Attar worked as a paralegal for Greenspan, Hitzel & Schrader until 2015, when she became a trial attorney for the firm.[5] In the same year, she also began working as an assistant state's attorney in the Baltimore State's Attorney office, prosecuting narcotics and firearms cases.

This is my inclination too. I have not checked the emails closely, but there are always complications.

When this first got revealed a few weeks ago, I asked about thermal monitoring. Well now they are saying their IR sensors only detect about a foot deep, (Which I am sure is deep enough but they claim no.) and that makes me think that maybe they did not even bother checking.

Also drones with IR, or satellite services. ...
I said back then that in Japan the firemen drive around town on windy days telling people to mind their cooking stoves. Really they are just looking for fires to detect them as early as possible. LA has other ideas.

In Spain they don't ask "if the coast is clear," they ask "no hay moros en la costa" -- are there any moors on the coast.

151 I have a pretty cool set-up this year for trick or treaters. Houses here are not close, so every year parents get together and decide on a trick or treat night (tonight obviously)...and then the parents drive them house to house. If you're participating you put something out at the passing road to indicate that you are.

Me? I set up a table out at the road (my driveway is 1/4 mile long through the woods). Years back I bought one of those tire store dancing characters (where you run a fan underneath and it dances). I dressed it up like a witch and really is quite disturbing when it dances. I have black lights in the woods, and an old boombox playing a Halloween tape (which I go out and switch sides sporadically). Table is all lit up with plastic pumpkins filled with candy, fruit, and... drinks (non-alcoholic). My security camera chimes every time someone comes by, and I can talk to them through the speaker.

It's been fun. At least 20 kids so far. I might need to restock pretty soon....although these are country kids with manners, and they aren't hording.

Started with maybe 20-30 kids, and over the years it dwindled to a handful, then just one little girl and her mom for a few years, then eventually nothing for the last few years in that house. Thats when I realized there were no more kids in the neighborhood and it had become a wax museum.

It's what happens when a neighborhood is built and families with kids move in and age together. Then the kids go away but their parents age in place.

We're seeing the last of the 'founders' move out and there is surge of little kids roaming about. Whether the show up is another story...

156 SCOTUS really needs to issue a proclamation that SCOTUS itself is the only court that has equal power standing with the President, and that all other courts have NO STANDING to challenge Presidential executive orders, or use of the powers of the Presidency, and if a judge wants to, that judge can petition SCOTUS for a hearing.

It is ludicrous to believe that Congress can create a court two echelons below SCROTUS where a judge can arbitrarily "veto" a Presidential action, a power Congress itself does not have can not deligate.

Sure, they can collectively impeach, but no one legislator has the power to block anything POTUS does.

Yup, that was the trend. My neighbors eventually got old and died, next to me, across the street from me, down the street from me, all gone. Their kids sold the houses to younger couples. The people who bought my house had a 2 year old, so it seems like it was slowly rebuilding.

WSJ Op-Ed: "Transgenderism" Is a Social Contagion, Science Shows
Trans Extremists Push Suicide of a Trans Athlete As Proof Women Should Allow Men In Women's Sports and Changing Areas

Colin Wright wrote an op-ed for the WSJ. He says that the trendlines for transgender identification show that the phenomenon is, as has long been suspected, a social contagion spread by tweens much like many other viral contagions.

The article is paywalled, but Outkick the Coverage digests it.

"If transgender identity were an innate trait, like left-handedness, we would expect identification rates to rise at first when it became socially acceptable, then plateau and remain stable at a fixed level," Wright wrote. "If the phenomenon were instead driven by social contagion, we might expect a boom-and-bust pattern: a spike followed by a rapid decline once the social forces driving it weaken."

But Wright notes that the data doesn't support the idea that trans identity is an innate trait.

"An analysis of campus surveys by Eric Kaufmann of the University of Buckingham and the Center for Heterodox Social Science found that the share of college students identifying as transgender fell 50% between 2023 and 2025," Wright noted. "Psychologist Jean Twenge's analysis of the annual Cooperative Election Study, administered by YouGov, found that transgender identification among 18- to 22-year-olds declined by nearly 50% between 2022 and 2024. She concluded that 'it looks like the peak of trans identification is in the past.'"

While transgender activists argue that transgenderism is inherent in humans, data shows that most cases are much more likely to be a social contagion or cultural fad.

Wright's cited surveys are consistent with a recent pattern among newly released data.

A recent study out of England showed that "incidence rates of recorded gender dysphoria/incongruence increased from 0.14 to 4.4 per 10,000 person years" from 2011 to 2021, which represented a 3,000% increase.

That came on the heels of a German study that showed "for most young people, the gender-identity related diagnosis (F64) does not persist after 5 years."

Essentially, trans identity suddenly spiked in the middle-to-late 2010s, and it's now starting to fall. That pattern more closely resembles a cultural fad or social contagion than the discovery of a new disorder, as Wright argues.

"The overwhelming majority of those driving the trans craze fall into the 'nonbinary' category--adopting identities which are said to be neither, both, or somewhere between male and female. These include labels such as 'demiboy,' 'genderfluid' or 'two-spirit.' These are social identities, not biological ones," Wright said.

Trans enthusiasts reacted to the article by stating that the author "needs to be hunted down."

Meanwhile:

A trans pyrsyn has committed suicide. It's getting press because despite the claim that this always happens, it doesn't actually always happen, so the trans extremists have to milk every actual suicide for all it's worth.

Trans extremists are using the suicide to, get this, pressure women into letting men beat the shit out of them in sports and change in their locker rooms.

Kim Shasby Jones
@KimJonesICONS

This post from @AriDrennen infuriates me.

For so many reasons.

First, any taking of life is tragic. This is a sad ending for Lia Smith.

It is grotesque and depraved of Drennan to use this tragedy to emotionally blackmail women and the public into holding women responsible for a man's suicide bc they didn't want to undress with him or let him compete in women's sports.

Women are NOT responsible for the mental health of men and certainly not required to give up their rights and bodies for a man's emotional well-being.

The age-old threat used against women trying to stop abuse, "if you leave, I'll kill myself", is exactly what Mr Drennan's message is.

Emotional blackmail is NEVER acceptable, not in elite sport, not in "just D3" sport, not in elementary school.

Not in locker rooms at the Y.

To tell a young man that he can be accepted as a woman, that he should get to compete against women, that he should be allowed into womens spaces, that he can become a woman - this is setting him up to fail. It is NOT a failure of women to accommodate his desires, it's a failure of medicine, leadership, and culture for not holding firm the boundaries of reality and helping him figure out how to navigate them.

Women are not tools of affirmation for the emotional support of men.

As a black woman of color and gender, let me add that if your "solution" to trans suicide is just to make every person in the world pretend that men are women, you've failed.

That. Is NEVER. Going. To Happen.

Trans extremists are selling confused mentally-ill people on the idea that one day straight men will have sex with them and marry them because, goshdarnit, they're 100% women and it's their right to insist that everyone acknowledge this "fact."

And when this doesn't happen, they get more depressed and sometimes kill themselves.

So stop selling them on an absurd fantasy that straight men (or lesbians) are going to treat men with dicks-and-balls as if they're Real Women. We're not, they're not, and you are setting up mentally-ill people for a crushing disappointment they're not mentally or emotionally equipped to handle.

Only about 10% of men are willing (or eager) to pretend that men are women. We call this the "Jonah Goldberg Cohort."

Trans advocates are deliberately over-promising the results of "transitioning" and then turning around to the rest of us and telling us, "Well we already promised them they would be accepted without question as literal, real women, so now you have to make good on the promise we made or else they'll kill themselves out of remorse!"

Instead of demanding the rest of us make good on your absurd promise, how about you just stop making that absurd promise?

Maybe trans people wouldn't be so suicidal if you stopped setting them up for the massive fall.

Meanwhile, the world's loudest and crappiest bartender doesn't feel she's getting enough attention.


The bartender who was promoted to congressman by a left-wing man's efforts and bankroll is dunking on Riley Gaines for not having "a real job."

1. Brought by community groups... not the State, nor anyone getting food stamps, thus, no standing as THEY are not damaged.

2. All the Programs are actually STATE programs, which are then reimbursed by the Feds... so the lawsuit would have to be from someone on food stamps (damaged) and they would have to sue the STATE... State would then have to sue the Feds for non payment.

3 Judges now have said Feds have to keep paying...

How come standing only is counted if there are conservatives involved?

100 This is the same thing as all the other mental illness fads. PTSD, ADHD, Asperger's, OCD, Tourette's, and now gender dysphoria. Do these things exist? I think they absolutely do. However the real cases are relatively few and far between compared to the number of people who claim them either cynically for likes, views, and TikTok clout, or as part of the social contagion/concerted grooming efforts by people who discovered they could exploit it monetarily and politically. It disgusts me on a very deep level when disorders that can make someone's life really fucking difficult get hijacked and exploited.

If they're illegal, why are they still getting EBT? Isn't there a mechanism to stop that? Even during a federal shutdown... which should, in theory, cease their bennies anyway.

It's all well and fine to remove the violent ones. But the vast majority of illegals are ticks sucking up resources and basically being a drain on society.

Middlebury College courted (if not lured) Lia Smith with promises of competitive diving awards. Fame, glamour, success, riches, love. Those promises predictably dead-ended.

And there she was with all that surgery, all that medicalization, and a lifetime ahead of endless fakery and effort.

162 So much destruction of vulnerable people...

I am very socially conservative, but also have a pretty wide libertarian streak, so my take on trans stuff used to be, "eh, they're adults, adults do weird things, just don't make me pay for it." And then there was a cluster at my aspie daughter's school (that she in God's kindness, very narrowly escaped) and I started to learn and try to understand so I could push back.

Let's just say that my position is no longer live and let live on this topic. It is mental delusion to the point that the person is not in their right mind to consent to "treatment". Anyone advocating for this horrific mutilation should be shamed out of society, anyone espousing it to minors should gain a designation akin to a pedo, any doctor mutilating a healthy body should lose their license and be jailed. I would also be ok with firing squads and heads on pikes.

220 Ugh. The guys at work didn't let me in on having a female transitioning to male worker/apprentice. I'm looking at my personal roster wondering who the F a Kailyn is. I have a dude named Nick that looks suspiciously like a chick with a funny voice. Well guess who Nick is....Kailyn. Of course I was a little slow on the uptake and when I inquired about Nick my buddy said "oh yeah, that's No Dick Nick!" (facepalm) She's a pipe fitter apprentice(working the rebuild of the unit that blew up at PBF Refinery/Martinez in February) Only a third period apprentice but she's exceptional I gotta give her that. She's a rather "unfortunate looking" (ace) girl that has had a mastectomy and is doing hormone therapy. The testosterone gives her a beard that makes her look like Shaggy from Scooby-Doo. All BS aside and not being patronizing but I keep her with me as she's pretty sharp a lot sharper and on the ball than our male apprentices. Just lacks in strength and still drives like a woman with our work trucks n buggies.

The language got corrupted. We started substituting "gender" for "sex." There are two sexes. There are three genders in English and German, two in the Romance languages.

For whatever reason, the very word "sex" was offensive to the feminists, and so the groundwork was laid to later say "gender is not equal to sex."

That’s why they are shooting up kindergartners. That’s kinda the point. These are wind-up toys, the product of roughly 100 years of programming and deconstruction, social research, propaganda, drugs, you name it. They have a plan, even if it isn’t apparent.

Nah, just point out that Food Stamps are STATE programs, that the Fed then reimburses.

So anyone not getting food stamps would need to Sue the STATE, not the Feds.... and then the State would have to sue the Feds for non payment.

I don't give a shit. Its beyond that. You know what my absolute greatest memory of being a teen was? Not playing in garage bands, not racing motocross, or looking forward to getting my license, or even graduating. It was the first time during the tube top era rolling a tube top down over a nice round pair of boobs and pressing my fucking face into them, and palming that nice smooth female ass like a frigging cheeseburger. I practically looked to the heavens and yelled thank you god for making me a red blooded male. Nothing will ever, ever replace that, ever. The trannies, the fags, whatever, can go play with each other's hairy man ass, but I have been to the top of the mountain, and it is GOOD, and they will never, ever, alter my course.

We are all here in like to do so. But the inactivity of those who prefer to not look at the real issue and then pass laws making it necessary to NOT murder babies stands in the way.

There are thousands and probably millions of couples waiting to adopt, who will never be chosen because women prefer to abort. The excuse is growing thin.

Yup.

In high school I got very little action (IOW none - I was a skinny unremarkable kid). But, I knew early on that I was not a homo. The girls in my school wore Levi's 501s or Wranglers. Not a lot of makeup or mall-hair (Wyoming). And aside from some cheerleader snots, most of the girls would be nice to me, even if they weren't interested in dating me.

Anyway, to sum up, I love women.

300 Glad I could bring some clarity to this thread:

AOC is "meh" in looks. She's not ugly, but she's not "hot", nor "hawt". And her physical measurements have never been what some in this forum seem to be so fond over. Using the Kevin Daniels scale of "Pick a number between 1 and 10 and you can't say 7", she's a 6 simply because she can't be an 8--there's just nothing "there...there" to throw her out of the 6's and launch her into the 8's.

Abortion is always immoral, regardless of whatever statistics might be available about who is and isn't most likely to use them. "Republican" women who silently or not-so-silently support abortion are part of the reason this country has never had the moral reckoning on this issue it so desperately needs.

The doctors performing "trans" surgeries violated their most sacred oath and in a just world would be prosecuted and given lengthy jail time.

Trump: Nuke the Filibuster, Pass the CR

Around the country, air flights are facing 2-3 hour delays because air traffic controllers aren't being paid.

The heads of United and Delta demanded the Democrats pass the clean CR.

Delta and United Airlines are demanding that Democrats stop holding the government hostage and vote for the clean continuing resolution Republicans already passed, warning that the standoff is punishing federal workers and starting to rattle the economy. Speaking to reporters Thursday, United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby praised air traffic controllers, TSA agents, and FAA staff for keeping flights running under crushing pressure but said Democrats' inaction is pushing them to the brink. "They've minimized delays. Fewer than two percent of flights have been delayed so far because of air traffic control shortage," Kirby said. "They've done a great job, but it's putting stress on people. It's not fair to those people. It's also putting stress on the economy." Now at Day 30, Kirby said, the Democrat-led shutdown is beginning to show real economic fallout. "The first couple of weeks had no impact on the economy, but as every day goes by, the impacts start to grow," he said. "Airlines are a pretty good real-time indicator of the economy, and we're starting to see minor but steep booking impact. We put the whole economy at risk."

Kirby said he has no interest in Democrats' attempts to spin the fight into a healthcare debate, calling instead for Congress to "pass a clean CR" and hash out policy differences "behind closed doors, without putting American workers and the economy at risk." Delta issued a similar demand, urging lawmakers to "immediately pass a clean continuing resolution," adding that "missed paychecks only increase the stress on these essential workers, many of whom are already working mandatory overtime to keep our skies safe and secure."

The CBO estimates that the Democrats have already succeeded in shaving $14 billion out of the US economy due to the chaos they've caused.

Trump now says: Nuke the filibuster, and pass the CR with a simple majority.

President Trump is done letting Democrats hold the government hostage. On Thursday, he called on Senate Republicans to "play their Trump card" and invoke the nuclear option -- scrapping the filibuster and ending the month-long shutdown with a simple majority vote.

"It is now time for the Republicans to play their 'TRUMP CARD,' and go for what is called the Nuclear Option -- get rid of the filibuster, and get rid of it, NOW!" Trump wrote in a fiery Truth Social post after returning from a five-day swing through Asia. He said world leaders kept asking how "the Democrats SHUT DOWN the United States of America" and why Republicans allowed it to happen.

"Majority Leader John Thune, and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, are doing a GREAT job," Trump said, "but the Democrats are Crazed Lunatics that have lost all sense of WISDOM and REALITY." He blamed the standoff on a "sick form" of Trump Derangement Syndrome -- the obsession, he argued, that's driving Democrats to damage the country rather than give his administration a win.

As expected, Thune is refusing to nuke the filibuster, because he believes, naively and insanely, that the Democrats will not themselves end the filibuster the moment it becomes useful for them to do so.

Politico:

Republicans are quickly tamping down President Donald Trump's call to eliminate the Senate filibuster as they try to keep pressure on Democrats to end the 31-day government shutdown.

GOP leaders believed Thursday they were on track to reopen agencies as soon as next week. Then Trump threw a fresh complication into their laps overnight when he revived calls for Republicans to invoke the "nuclear option" and eliminate the 60-vote threshold for passing most legislation. Without it, Republican senators could reopen the government on their own.

But many GOP senators have vocally defended the filibuster, including Majority Leader John Thune, calling the 60-vote rule a fundamental feature of the Senate and one that works to conservatives' benefit in the long run.

Thune has defended the filibuster multiple times during the shutdown, calling it a "bad idea" to suggest eliminating it. "The 60-vote threshold has protected this country," he said earlier this month.

The Democrats have eliminated the use of the filibuster every single time the Republicans used it to block them. Republicans used it to block federal court nominations; Harry Reid nuked it.

It's crazy to think the Democrats would ever allow Republicans to pull their own shutdown stunt in the future. The GOP is always being taught lessons, but never, ever learns.

It might not matter. Sources say that Democrats plan on ending the stupid shutdown after election day. So shutting down the government is officially, admittedly just a base-stoking electioneering stunt.

Stephen Neukam
@stephen_neukam

NEWS -- There's a sense within the Senate Democratic caucus that next week will bring significant movement toward ending the government shutdown, multiple sources told Axios.

Likely after election day on Tuesday. Lawmakers have made progress on talks around packaging approps bills with a CR.

The major sticking point remains around ACA subsidies.

Dems know it's incredibly unlikely any extension passes the House.
Working group and a floor vote on ACA extension are potential offramps.

Some unrelated matters:

A Mexican senator says Trump esta dijando la verdad.

A prominent Mexican lawmaker has delivered a stunning rebuke of her country's leadership, agreeing with President Trump's long-standing claim that Mexico is effectively controlled by drug cartels. In a video message posted this week, Mexican Senator Lily Téllez declared, "He is not lying -- it's the truth, and the people of Mexico know it."

Téllez, a leading member of the opposition National Action Party (PAN), said that Trump's assessment "doesn't shame us as good, honest Mexicans -- it exposes the corrupt ruling class of MORENA," the leftist party led by former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and his successor, President Claudia Sheinbaum. "Claudia, you don't represent the Mexican people," Téllez said bluntly. "You represent the MORENA Cartel. You lack any dignity."

The senator accused López Obrador and Sheinbaum of colluding with powerful drug syndicates to secure political power and then allowing them to expand their grip on the nation. "The cartel problem didn't begin with MORENA, but under them, it has exploded," she said. "They surrendered national sovereignty and absolute power to organized crime."


F*** you, f****t.

He communicates with Thune directly. Vance actually went to Thune and straightened him out on some things in a meeting.

This is, "We'll do drastic things to stop Democrat obstruction," in public while just largely being fine with things behind closed doors. Trump has spent the last few weeks busy with international affairs, where he actually does care.

29 I have two comments:

1. This is show theater. Trump has no intention of nuking the filibuster. It's more negotiating tactics and leverage. Democraps surely do not want the filibuster nuked now, when they are not in charge.

2. I highly doubt any flight delays over the last few days were because of ATC not being paid. As I mentioned in the previous post, there has long been an ATC shortage.

Plus, there was terrible weather across large swaths of the country in the past week.

I flew in and out of CLT (from EWR) without any issues, despite the storms, other than the usual 15-30 minute delays for something or other.

3. Be very skeptical of media reports or interested parties like Delta Airlines blaming Problem X on the shutdown.

31 Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't they get backpay when the shutdown ends? So, they're not working for nothing, they're working for the paycheck they'll eventually get.

But, are they being docked pay for the time the choose NOT to work? I mean, if they get backpay?

It's a vote for a concept that doesn't exist anymore. It was supposed to be a vote to "close dialog".

We all know there ain't no dialog going on these days.

I think the Dems might have done so much damage to their brand, that if the Republicans nuke the cloture vote, pass the CR and reopen the government so that everybody gets paid, who knows that the Dems can ever regain the Senate.

All the same, it's an antiquated idea.

They're not going to budge until well into the SNAP cut off date. Trump likely sees this and would rather not want to have to focus his energies on putting down riots when there is so much else to deal with.

67 For the life of me I have no idea why some are so scared of a limited nuking of the filibuster for things like a clean CR.

The filibuster isn't anywhere in the Constitution and the way it is being used today has nothing to do with the original intent behind the procedure. All it now takes is for one Senator to say they want a filibuster and it's on.

It's a dumb Senate rule left over from the days when there was some actual collegiality in the Senate. Those days are long gone.

Yes, they will get paid, but for many, timing is everything. It's how you avoid credit card interest charges, late fees, etc. Every fed whether working or not will "lose" money even if eventually paid b/c time is money...and the ones working lose more b/c there is always an immediate expense to working (commuting cost, daycare, clothing cost, etc)...

109 I have come around to narrowly nuking cloture for Continuing (budget) Resolutions, because circumstances have changed, and now it would be an immensely popular political winner.

I was against it because then the competitive advantage for CRs would make them even more tempting than they were already, and I pictured a future where 500 years later, the budget is still just a CR of the 2024 budget. However, it is of course possible to have a short CR to keep things going while you negotiate the actual budget bills, which is what the Republican caucus very reasonably attempted, and should have been able to do.

I am still against broadly nuking the filibuster as a whole, not because I think Democrats won't, but because it would be a political loser, or at least less of a winner. It would add political cost to no greater benefit over a narrow nuke, which we already know is possible, because it has been gradually nuked over time from just excepting Supreme Court justices to now excepting nominations for the judiciary and cabinet members.

But proving to dimwits that it really was the Democrats blocking Republicans from paying food stamps and air traffic controllers is a massive win.

The recent history of shut-downs is not impressive.

Obama got everything he asked for + 33% and the Dems withstood the demand that they put Congressional staffers on the Obamacare exchanges.

So, even though it sounds like we're doing more to keep a open-ended cloture vote to "resist CRs", in the end it's not doing anything but paying bureaucrats for a whole batch of not working.

133 Essential employees, unless Trump has directed otherwise, do NOT get paid even when working during a shutdown. They have to wait for payment til the end of the shutdown. This is why Trump was "finding money" for the active military, who are always essential but not always paid.

Exempt employees work and DO get paid on time, although at this point, that is also no longer happening for everyone exempt - aka, the State Department cannot pay its Passport approval people and no one has reported why (although guesses can be made).

We need a Constitutional Amendment reconfiguring the Senate. It was supposed to be the voice of the States, not the people.

Each State Governor should appoint One Senator, with the State Legislature appointing the other... and they serve only as long as those folks want them to serve, and can be recalled at any time.

Posted by: M. Gaga at October 31, 2025 03:48 PM (zeLd4)

157 After years of pearl clutching about the filibuster and keeping it, Trump and republicans have used the “nuclear option” twice to ram through hundreds of cabinet. Now the mask is off. They’re gonna get rid of it forever.

That’s a mighty nice filibuster you have there. It’d be a shame if you got rid of it in time for democrats to use it to pass any number of long standing priorities

That’s assuming there’s elections in the future that are free and fair. Remember his “joke” to Zelensky about “no votes when at war? Okay better remember that one.” As he is manufacturing justification to invade Venezuela now.

Republicans have been trying to sell the point that the Democrats are keeping the Government closed. If they use the Nuclear Option, then that destroys their narrative, because the average person will then be told 'see, the Republicans had the power all along, and they failed to use it 30 days ago."

if the Democrats did this in 2010 when they had a f---ing supermajority, we would have had single payer healthcare. Not "Obamacare", but something resembling Medicare for All.

Ummmm, did you just sock an Artillery Munition?

Overview of DPICM in Vietnam
What is DPICM?

The Dual-Purpose Improved Conventional Munition (DPICM) is an artillery round designed to release multiple submunitions upon detonation. It is effective against both armored vehicles and personnel, hence the term "dual-purpose."
Historical Context

Development: DPICM projectiles were developed in the late 1950s, with the first model, the 105 mm M444, entering service in 1961.
Usage in Vietnam: During the Vietnam War, DPICM was used extensively. It was found to be significantly more effective than standard high-explosive rounds. For example, it required only 1.7 DPICM rounds to kill an enemy soldier, compared to 13.6 high-explosive rounds.

Types of DPICM Rounds

Caliber Variants: DPICM rounds were available in various calibers, including 105 mm, 155 mm, and 203 mm.
Submunitions: A typical 155 mm DPICM shell could contain up to 88 submunitions, which would spread over a wide area to maximize impact.

It doesn't "destroy" any "narrative"! And why should the more compassionate party lose out next time while obstructionists who made the "nuclear option" "necessary" gain from it?

- spies on their opponents including Congress
- used fake dossiers to try and lock up the Republican presidential nominee and destroy his family
- used the courts to put overly jail people for disagreeing with them
- conditioned receipt of aid based on political views
- undermined an election with unsecured mail in ballots, harvesting and procedural subversions to steal an election

It's true. It's all true. Leftist activists think the Democrat Party is a host of centrist corporatists who must be destroyed from within and replaced by Democratic Socialism in its purest form. And the establishment of the Democrat Party just...can't understand how that's bad for them. Posted by: TheJamesMadison, having some laughs with Alexander Mackendrick

I think they totally understand how that's bad for them. But they know this is the monster they created and they have no way to corral him without killing themselves, politically (because the crazy Left is just *actually doing* what the career politico Left just chummed the water with for votes / power, but knew it was too crazy to FULLY enact...). So now they're just enabling parents of horrible kids, trying to check them now and then but otherwise cowering from their wrath and fine with them hurting other people so long as it's not them...

262 Lots of angles to this ... Trump raising possibility that GOP nuke it to end the shutdown could shift blame under a claim that they're keeping government closed BUT at the same time the Democrats and media understand what it means and can't jump onto that narrative/encouragement for GOP to nuke it.

If they do nuke it, Dems have NO leverage when this CR runs out in three weeks. NONE. No extension of subsidies whatsoever. GOP just passes another CR with no Dem input.

From there, think what you could do if you just nuked it completely. End vote-by-mail nationwide, require voter ID in every state, exclude illegals from the census, whatever. If you did that it would be almost impossible for Dems to ever win any branch again because they're so concentrated and reliant on ballot fraud and illegals both voting and being used for apportionment.

Risk of them retaliating is less when they end up with no plausible path to retaking power absent a return to some form of sanity.

331 296 Obama running his mouth can potentially signal he's close to being "inconvenienced" about his role as head shit stirrer of late.

_________________________________

I still think Trump read the riot act to Obama back at Jimmy Carter's funeral. The lip reader caught this:

Trump: "We need to talk."
Obama: (annoyed look, surprised, then a nod)
Trump: "Not here. Somewhere private"
Obama: (another nod)

I'm going to speculate that Trump basically said he was going to dismantle a lot of what Obama and Eric Holder put in place. He likely gave Obama the choice of sitting by silently. Or if he challenged his actions, Trump would pursue him relentlessly for all discretions and illegalities. For a while after that funeral, Obama was very quiet and off the radar. Recently, he has jumped into the limelight. Trump doesn't have a history of making empty promises.

(all speculation...but it tracks)

There is a non-disprovable hypothesis that the private security industry's body double service -- originally to fake out paparazzi/stalkers/assassins on your actual destination -- morphed and metastasized into a full-spectrum service that the rich and/or powerful (incl. U.S. Senators) can use for damn near anything. Fetterman is held up as a non-disconfirming example who may have been originally hired by his staff to keep up appearances, since he had several different looks and demeanors in his early recovery (or "recovery") from his stroke. Maybe he never recovered, one opportunistic actor went rogue and took over, and everyone involved has too much to lose to call him out.

Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy Cancels 7,200 Truckers' Licenses for Failing to Meet the Requiremnt of Speaking English

Keep Americans safe.

More than 7,200 commercial truck drivers have been taken off America's highways since the Department of Transportation (DOT), under Secretary Sean Duffy, began enforcing new English language proficiency standards in May -- part of a Trump administration effort to strengthen safety rules gutted under Barack Obama.

"[DOT] requires commercial truck drivers to speak and understand English to operate a big rig -- or they will be taken out of service," Duffy wrote on X. "This is about [President Trump] and his administration making America's roads SAFE again!"

According to the DOT, roughly 7,250 truckers have been placed out of service for failing the reinstated English standards, which the Obama-era DOT had weakened to accommodate foreign drivers -- many of whom, officials say, lacked even a basic ability to read road signs or communicate with law enforcement. Duffy said the new standards are designed to crack down on the black market trucking industry that relies on cheap foreign labor with limited or no English proficiency.

The announcement follows a series of deadly highway crashes involving foreign or illegal alien truck drivers. In one recent case, an illegal alien from India allegedly killed three Americans in California -- a sanctuary state that issued him a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) without enforcing the federal English language requirement. "My prayers are with the families of the victims of this tragedy. It would have never happened if Gavin Newsom had followed our new rules," Duffy said. "California broke the law, and now three people are dead and two are hospitalized. These people deserve justice. There will be consequences."

Duffy is reportedly weighing penalties, including withholding millions in federal funds from California, for failing to follow the Trump administration's CDL standards.

Another similar case occurred in Florida, where an illegal alien -- also from India -- is accused of killing three people after making an illegal U-turn on a highway. Investigators discovered the man had failed a written driving test 10 times but was still granted a CDL in both Washington and California, two sanctuary states. After the crash, DOT officials administered an English proficiency assessment, which the driver failed -- answering only 2 of 12 verbal questions correctly and recognizing just 1 of 4 traffic signs.

No more Third World Assassins driving their Murder Rigs over American citizens.

Related: Democrats sued to block the Department of Agriculture from even determining how many illegal aliens receive SNAP benefits.

Note that this is not about stopping illegal aliens from receiving SNAP benefits -- just to stop the Department of Agriculture from even counting the number of illegal aliens receiving the benefits.

They want to rob you and subordinate you, and they will use every means fair and foul from even learning about their intentions.

BACKFIRED: Spanberger’s Preferred Climate Policy Caused 2.1B More Pounds of CO2 Emissions

Virginia Democrat gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger supports a climate project that actually increased the carbon emissions Virginia caused—and cost residents more money—according to the commonwealth’s Department of Energy.

That project, the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, “was supposed to decrease emissions, but it actually increased emissions,” Glenn Davis, director of the Virginia Department of Energy, told The Daily Signal in an interview Tuesday. He called it a “bait and switch.”...

So, how did the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, a program aimed at decreasing carbon emissions, actually increase them?

“RGGI penalized utilities for emissions generated by in-state generation facilities, but it did not address any out-of-state generation facilities, so Dominion [Energy] decreased their power generation on their natural gas facilities in Virginia and supplemented it with their coal-burning facilities in West Virginia,” Davis explained.

199 According to the DOT, roughly 7,250 truckers have been placed out of service for failing the reinstated English standards, which the Obama-era DOT had weakened to accommodate foreign drivers -- many of whom, officials say, lacked even a basic ability to read road signs or communicate with law enforcement. Duffy said the new standards are designed to crack down on the black market trucking industry that relies on cheap foreign labor with limited or no English proficiency.

Freaking journalism, man.

This isn't a *new* standard. It's the *existing* standard. Duffy is just doing what most administrations haven't: enforce it. Nothing new here other than a willingness to do the job.

Except the the shipper and the receiver may not even know if the trucker is illegal, if they are using a freight brokerage. Also what do you do with an impounded load of perishable food?

1. Arrest the driver on the spot.
2. Seize the truck and trailer on the spot. But...
3. Put a DOT-hired driver in the seat, and let him complete the run, and make the delivery. Consignee is assessed a 20,000 dollar fine for being a party to the use of illegal labor, which can be waived if they cooperate in the prosecution of the trucking company or crooked freight broker.
4. Once trailer is unloaded, DOT driver takes it to regional impound lot, where they are held until the auction date.

Oh, and the asset limit does not include a House or Car, but does include stocks or a bank account, and that limit is only about $4500... which is clearly stupid because with a large enough family, you can MAKE more than $4500 a month, and qualify for the program.

It’s not even about the issue, per se. It is about delineating the powers of our branches, especially the judiciary which has way overstepped their boundaries. We can check that now since Republicans have power. But it’s arguable the judiciary underwrote most of the constitutional subversion the occurred during the Biden years. We need to ensure the courts are never in the position again to play dictator and let authoritarian poltics rule over constitution.

261 256 It’s not even about the issue, per se. It is about delineating the powers of our branches, especially the judiciary which has way overstepped their boundaries. We can check that now since Republicans have power. But it’s arguable the judiciary underwrote most of the constitutional subversion the occurred during the Biden years since Wilson. We need to ensure the courts are never in the position again to play dictator and let authoritarian poltics rule over constitution.

Where the trucking company has an illegal alien driver and the there can be little doubt that company *knew* the driver was an unqualified illegal - "No Name Given" or can't speak English, etc. - the truck *and* its cargo should just be seized under civil asset forfeiture and then auctioned off. Make that shit sandwich of a law for work for our side for once and make the penalty stupendous. Losing a truck is a big deal. Losing a cargo is an even bigger deal. Insurance won't cover it (due to the fraud involved) and shippers will start looking up the trucking companies' asses to make damn sure their freight isn't facing that risk.

Possibly true, but these guys are from a trucking organization, so what else are they gonna say but that this is a limited, isolated problem? I suspect the problem is much deeper. Companies are always looking to reduce labor costs. Hiring cheap illegals is often the go-to move. So long as a truck has his papers and CDL -- and these illegal murder-machine drivers apparently did -- then it's easy to look the other way and pocket the savings.

I'm of the opinion that seizing the cargo might often wind up costing the government money, rather than make it. Of course the trailers should be searched, because there might be contraband on board, too.

But say I was shipping you a used radiator for your Studebaker, and the freight company puts it on illegal's truck, and it gets seized? We are both fucked, out of no fault of our own.

____

These "ground stop" orders are common and happen even without a shutdown. There are too few air traffic controllers to begin with, and the volume of planes going into and out of three major airports only 25 miles apart -- JFK, LGA, and EWR -- makes it very difficult to keep the flights all going on time. It's been a decades-long problem.

There was a 30-minute ground shut-down into Newark when I was coming back from Charlotte on Wednesday. I suspect it was more weather-related than anything, but it was blamed on the shutdown.

So... Brother Achmed buys the truck... hires Brother Mohamed to drive it... who has a CDL from somewhere like Ill or Calif... then they subcontract using the independent trucker network...

Keep the truck owned by the company, and different companies for each truck (so if sued, its a minimal loss).

Prince Andrew Now Stripped of All Titles and Honors Over His Friends-with-Benefits Relationship With Jeffrey Epstein

He'll now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, which... sounds an awful lot like a royal name.

I see this as mostly a lateral move.

Except the part where he's kicked out of his free 30-room mansion.

Andrew will no longer be known as a prince and is to leave Royal Lodge, Buckingham Palace has confirmed.

In a bombshell statement released tonight, Buckingham Palace said he will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor - with immediate effect.

It comes as the palace said the 'censures are deemed necessary' amid the ongoing scandal over Jeffrey Epstein, whom Andrew lied about cutting ties with.

'His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew,' the statement said.

A commenter yesterday wondered about this, stating that he didn't think they could take away the "prince" title, as it is conferred by birth not granted by grace of the king.

But you know the thing about kings-- they kind of make up their own laws as they please.


'Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence.

'Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease and he will move to alternative private accommodation.

'These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him.

'Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse.'

...

Although the former duke has been stripped of all his remaining titles those of his daughters, Princess Beatrice, 37, and Princess Eugenie, 35, will remain.

...

It is understood Prince William and the Royal Family fully support the King's leadership on the recent move.

Andrew's recent departure from the Royal Lodge, where he paid 'peppercorn rent' over 20 years', comes amid an ongoing row over the residence since his dukedom title was stripped earlier this month.

Per Google AI, "peppercorn rent" is...

... a nominal, token, or symbolic rent, often as low as one peppercorn per year, used in a lease to meet the legal requirement for a two-way exchange to make a contract binding.

So essentially he was given a 30-room mansion for free.

Update: Via the NY Post, he did plow his own money into renovating the mansion:

Andrew has not paid rent on Royal Lodge for the past 22 years, according to UK reports, because he paid a large sum -- around $10.7 million -- to renovate the residence.

I don't know what 30-room mansions usually rent for.

However as of today, it is understood Andrew has been served notice to surrender the lease at the 30-bedroom mansion and will move out of the residence as soon as practically possible.

...

The move was entirely down to the King and his advisers, without pressure from the government or other family members, such as Prince William, sources told the Daily Mail.


...

It comes as His Majesty had made it clear he would not hesitate to take 'further action' if his younger brother continued to cling on to his dukedom and other honours after he lied about cutting ties with paedophile financier Epstein, the Daily Mail previously revealed.

And despite the tsunami of growing evidence mounting against him, the 65-year-old was understood to still be 'digging his heels in' with a 'startling lack of contrition', in a situation the King deemed 'intolerable', sources previously said.

...

Earlier today, anti--monarchy campaign group Republic said it has instructed lawyers to investigate the prince and, if appropriate, press ahead with legal proceedings.

The Daily Mail understands the allegations it is focusing on relate to allegations he sexually assaulted Giuffre, that he asked a royal protection officer to look into her background and impropriety when he served as an official UK trade envoy.

But Republic said it is mounting its own bid to take him to court because the legal and political response to the claims has been 'weak and inadequate' to date.

The British site GBNews says that this also serves as a warning to Prince Harry and his awful SJW influencer wife.

The fact that the King was able to bypass Parliament, with the support of the Government, to take action against a fellow royal is incredibly significant.

It could even have set a precedent that future monarchs use to sanction other members of the Royal Family.

The King's eldest son and heir to the throne, Prince William, fully supported the action taken against his uncle.

The Prince of Wales is known to have a strained relationship with his brother, Prince Harry, with the pair avoiding each other at several events over the last two and a half years.

The current bitter and broken relationship between the King's two sons stems from the Duke of Sussex's decision to launch multiple public attacks on the Royal Family from 2021 to 2023.

Prince Harry did several TV interviews, firing digs at the monarchy alongside his wife, Meghan Markle, with the most notable taking place in March 2021 with Oprah Winfrey.

The Sussexes' interview with Ms Winfrey sent shockwaves across the world and led to Prince William telling journalists: "We're very much not a racist family."

The Prince of Wales's frustration with his younger brother grew stronger over the following two years as Prince Harry discussed royal matters in a Netflix documentary in 2022 before issuing a tell-all autobiography in January 2023.

Prince Harry did several TV interviews, firing digs at the monarchy alongside his wife, Meghan Markle, with the most notable taking place in March 2021 with Oprah Winfrey. |

The memoir, which contained several attacks on key members of the Royal Family, including William's wife, Princess Kate, was the most damaging blow in the feud between the brothers.

Since then, Prince William has kept his distance from Prince Harry and has not been involved in talks with the Duke of Sussex when he has visited the UK.

Update:

Daily Mail has had several articles on this quoting a handful of palace insiders saying the de-Princing of Andrew by Charles was at the request of the future King, William so that he wouldn't have to do it, which he would have.

Chuck obliged.

7 Andrew will no longer be known as a prince and is to leave Royal Lodge, Buckingham Palace has confirmed.
In a bombshell statement released tonight, Buckingham Palace said he will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor - with immediate effect.

It comes as the palace said the 'censures are deemed necessary' amid the ongoing scandal over Jeffrey Epstein, whom Andrew lied about cutting ties with.



Since he is no longer beholden to the royal family, the tell all books should be illuminating.

Especially the one about Charles & Diana.

52 Fergie gets the boot, too. But they were also very lax renters for two decades.

Daily Mail, 'Fergie's Mask Slips' Fergie 'is set to leave Andrew alone' as he demands TWO homes so they can live apart after leaving the Royal Lodge

In part, "Andrew has only paid 'peppercorn' rent for the last 20 years, and while he initially tried to dig his heels in by citing the terms of his 'cast iron' lease with the Crown Estate, it is understood he will finally move out.

The prince still has 50 years left on his pre-paid lease and it not known exactly how much money he could receive in compensation for the £7.5million he has spent on Royal Lodge renovations."

They've been divorced since 2008.

Imagine if right-wing threats forced several Obama officials to live on military bases - there would be constant calls in the establishment press for a mass roundup of conservatives.

Some leftists who have noticed this are claiming that living on a military base is just a wonderful perk that these evil Trump officials are taking advantage of.

Yea, this seems like mostly fake bullshit to make it look like the odious royal family of skanks, turds, perverts, leeches, and oily scabs (with a few rare exceptions) is disciplining their most notorious grotesque, when in reality nothing will change.

There's been ongoing disputes over Andrew living in that mansion for years, IIRC. He was gonna be kicked out regardless.

In a way, Meghan Markle has done more damage to the royal reputation than Andrew has. He was a known scumbag who's scumbaggery was decades ago, and despite the pious incantations of those pretending to be appalled at his behavior, the Brits (and especially royals) always had a taste for sexual perversion.

Meghan shitting all over the royals, calling them racist and abusive, has gotta hurt their egos more than some middled-aged sleaze macking on teenage girls.

I stopped caring about the Royal Family when Queen Elizabeth died and it became clear that her heirs are idiots, but the human drama here seems pretty intense.

Another unpopular American take: "Andrew," as we will now call him, still denies all the criminal or very untoward things, and I don't know of any evidence other than Virginia Giuffre's accusations and other circumstantial and testimonial stuff.

Oh well, maybe even breathing the same air as traffickers and underage girls is too much for British royalty, which is mostly all about appearances.

141 "Peppercorn rent" isn't the renter screwing over the landlord. The renter and landlord would agree to something very very nominal (such as a peppercorn) as rent.

Peppercorn rent is a legal fiction designed to satisfy the legal requirement that all contracts (including leases) have "consideration" (value) going from one party to the other and vice versa. Otherwise, there is no legally enforceable contract.

I assume what was really going on what that Andrew was allowed to live in the mansion rent-free as part of his title. But without any sort of "payment" from him at all, there would be no binding lease, and possibly even claims by him that he owned the property through adverse possession.

I assume the peppercorn arrangement is common among royals and aristocracy, as a means to allow family members to live on properties owned by the family for generations.

Wrong. There is no precedent. He's a g-ddamned King. If outside influences determine whether to depose a Prince for crimes against the laws of subjects, they can be used to depose a King. People don't get a say in the affairs of monarchs. If they do, monarchy means nothing. If a family member is unsuited to royalty, you kill him yourself as an act of State, without reference to the subjects.

The whole Kennedy Camelot mythology made me want to puke (and still does), and the obsession over here (almost exclusively among chicks) with Princess Diana was psychotic.

175 Peppercorn rent is a legal fiction designed to satisfy the legal requirement that all contracts (including leases) have "consideration" (value) going from one party to the other and vice versa. Otherwise, there is no legally enforceable contract.

So it appears he's being disciplined not for his sleazy conduct with barely-legal teens, but for daring to lie to other royals about it. The horror!

Consider also that these same royals who are appalled at Andrew's conduct did nothing while hundreds if not thousands of their fellow British girls were systematically raped and murdered by packs of filthy Paki illegals.

196 My wife and I have been trying to diagnose our washing machine, which has been running roughly and making extra noise. Among other things, we tried taking off the agitator plate. The screw holding it in took a lot of persuasion. I put a socket wrench on it and had to hit the end of the lever with a hammer many times to get it loose.

Once we got that off, I was trying to pull up the plate. It was stuck. We watched some videos, and one guy showed how you could stuff a cord into the seam around the plate, pull the cord underneath the plate, and pull up. I did this and pulled and pulled, until I managed to crack a big piece of the plate off.

*sigh*

We could try to get the rest of the plate off, see if we can do some repair to the machine, and source a new plate. Or we could just buy a new machine. I think we're going with option two.

Like I said, I sort of cared about QEII, mainly because she was the last living senior leader of WWII.

If he was willing to ride to the rescue of British culture, I was in.

224 My defense of monarchical government.

In modern form, royal families exist as an insurance policy if things go really pear shaped. They are a perpetuating line of people who have every interest in the continuation and success of a country. So if there is ever a "constitutional crisis" or a coup, or whatever and somebody needs to have absolute right to decide who gets to run things, you want a king who knows that if the country really goes to shit he, and his family and entire line, will be dead in a ditch.

Even still it doesn't always work out, but what else is there? Think of it as a very expensive insurance policy where the public pays millions every year supporting these grifters and hope they are never needed.

For this reason, I think the late Queen did a horrible job at her only job - raising decent kids.

That's one thing I'm worried about. We've gone through THREE dishwashers in six years. The last one had both the main board and the pump go out at the same time. It wasn't a cheap POS either.

She was between a rock and a hard spot. Queening is hard work, lengthy travel, long days, endless banquets and teas and ceremonies and events -- a highly demanding career. If you don't do these things, you're not queening. At the same time, you're supposed to put your body to the service of the state and produce heirs -- but you're not allowed to take the time to raise them.

Enjoyed it! But agree that the intro needs to be a lot shorter. What you could do, once you have a few under your belt, is to use that intro for a "welcome to my channel" video.

And if you want to vary the shots, do that quick cut thing that everyone does. Also: churn out some shorts. Like 30 seconds of "my top ten christmas movies" or some dumb thing. You can do those eve more easily - no talking head required. Use Canva or something, use movie posters/cover images and do a voice over.

319 308 Enjoyed it! But agree that the intro needs to be a lot shorter. What you could do, once you have a few under your belt, is to use that intro for a "welcome to my channel" video.

And if you want to vary the shots, do that quick cut thing that everyone does. Also: churn out some shorts. Like 30 seconds of "my top ten christmas movies" or some dumb thing. You can do those eve more easily - no talking head required. Use Canva or something, use movie posters/cover images and do a voice over.

Good luck with this and with the job search.

Nothing much about any burden or responsibility of governing authority, but rather a burden and obigation on the part of the subjects to capitulate.

The solution is simple. The Windsors need to learn how to tell their advisers to sod off. Before Prince Harry turned into Markle's cuck, he served in the British Army in Afghanistan twice... at least until some douchecanoe Limey reporter published photos of him in field gear during his first deployment. The Army pulled him early because they chickened out on letting him take the same risks as his fellow soldiers.

389 I think i may be the only one who kind of feels sorry for Andrew.
He's supposedly not the sharpest tool in the shed, to begin with. He was indulged through most of his young wild days by pretty much everyone, wink, wink, "Randy Andy." I think he's being punished not so much for what he did, but for being caught.

But he's been condemned mostly by a woman who was mentally unstable, and from a book, that may or may not be accurate. She's now dead, so there's no way Andrew can get at what is inaccurate about it out. I've never really trusted her claims. They're was the whole "maybe she was mistaken about Dershowitz's identity" and she seemed to be suing anyone left and right. I think Andrew was pressured to settle rather than fight and that's led to this. I am willing to bet some of it was based on reality -- Andrew probably did have sex with her -- but I doubt he was aware of the sliminess Epstein engaged in, and I bet he thought she was a willing (and of legal age) participant.

Back to "not the sharpest tool in the shed": Reading about his post military life, he seems like some idiot who thinks of people as, "Well, he's a capitol chap!" or they aren't.

But that misses the point of defenestration: you push them out the window from an upper story such that they die from the fall. Pushing someone into a window from outside might get them cut from broken glass but doesn’t amount to near as much damage since you are presumably doing it on the ground floor.

430 I think this is all being done to strip the titles of Hazmat and Nutmeg, but Andrew gave them plenty of rope.

I have zero sympathy for the Epstein girls, who knew exactly what they were doing. But Andrew and Sarah are both tacky, shady idiots and Epstein is not the only unsavory character they associated with.

All Andrew ever had to do was keep his head down and not do anything too outrageous. Apparently, that was beyond his abilities. He was always jealous of Charles, I imagine. I always liked Sarah, but she has a shopping addiction and is lacking any sort of discretion.

I think William is behind every bit of this, again, to crush his obnoxious brother. I think he's covered for him his entire life, and is done playing.

He probably started planning this after the Oprah interview, but Nutmeg's behavior towards Catherine and toddler Charlotte in the run up to the Sussex wedding probably sealed their Fate. Nutmeg is also alleged to have been caught trying to get pictures of the kids, Charlotte especially, sleeping during her first and last visit to William and Catherine's private residence.

FBI Foils Halloween Terrorist Attack in Michigan; Bloated Blood Sausage JB Pritzker Demands Trump Suspend Deportation Operations So That Illegals Can Enjoy the Noted Religious Holiday Halloween "In Peace"

UPDATE: The planned terrorist attack originating in Dearbornistan was "ISIS-inspired."

CNN -- The FBI averted a potential terrorist attack planned for Halloween weekend, the agency said.

The plot was inspired by ISIS, two law enforcement officials with knowledge of the case told CNN.

The two law enforcement officials who spoke to CNN said the plot unfolded in online chatrooms.

An FBI undercover person was introduced into the chatroom in the early stages of discussion, one of those officials said. Two participants have been arrested, and three others are being questioned, that official said.

Agents became concerned that the plot might be imminent around the Halloween weekend when a reference to "pumpkin day" came up in discussions with the group that law enforcement was surveilling, and a decision was made to go in, one official said.

H/t Captain Fantastic.

Back to original post:

So, I like Halloween well enough, but it's just absolutely preposterous that Governor Supersize JB Pritzker is demanding an end to deportations so that illegal alien criminals can enjoy the sacred Joke Holiday of Halloween.

In NYC, they call Halloween "Gay Christmas" because of the largely-gay Halloween parade. I guess that the Democrat-Antifa-Media Party has officially sacralized this pagan/gay holiday as among the holiest of the year.

For those of you too young to remember religious holidays: Think of the Islamic holiday of Eid. I know you know that one because the Islamic-dominated government never shuts up about it. Democrats always claim we cannot attack our terrorist enemies on Eid. Just like now they claim we can't deport illegals on Halloween, which, to the extent it's a holiday at all, is only a holiday to the English and Irish and that's pretty much it.

MXM news:

llinois Gov. JB Pritzker has once again revealed his misplaced priorities--this time pleading with the Trump administration to suspend immigration enforcement so that illegal aliens can "enjoy the holiday in peace." In a letter dated October 29 and addressed to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons, and CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott, Pritzker demanded that all ICE operations be halted from October 31 through November 2. The Democrat governor argued that immigration enforcement during Halloween could "traumatize children" and "force families to live in fear," citing unverified reports that federal agents deployed tear gas at a children's parade in northwest Chicago.

According to Politico, Pritzker's letter accused federal agents of "targeting Black and Brown people" and violating constitutional protections. He wrote that "families deserve to spend Halloween weekend without fear," and insisted "no child should be forced to inhale tear gas or other chemical agents while trick or treating." But ICE officials have not confirmed the alleged incident. Federal authorities said their agents had been "boxed in by agitators" and only used tear gas after warnings were ignored. No credible evidence has yet surfaced to support Pritzker's claims.

Incredibly, the Healthy At Any Size Influencer Pritzker called ICE operations an "imminent threat," like they're terror attacks being conducted by law enforcement.

And speaking of imminent terrorist threats on Halloween:

Terrorists were just stopped from carrying out a terror attack over the Halloween weekend.

As with Eid, we cannot attack them on this least-holy of days, but they, of course, can attack us.

FBI Director Kash Patel
@FBIDirectorKash

This morning the FBI thwarted a potential terrorist attack and arrested multiple subjects in Michigan who were allegedly plotting a violent attack over Halloween weekend. More details to come. Thanks to the men and women of FBI and law enforcement everywhere standing guard 24/7 and crushing our mission to defend the homeland.

Via Ed Morrissey at Hot Air, the terrorists were arrested in the Noted White Supremacist Bastion of Dearborn, Michigan.

Four senior law enforcement officials familiar with the case said the FBI in Detroit apprehended a group of young individuals into custody today who were plotting some form of attack with a possible reference to Halloween.

Those officials say the group has a nexus to some form of foreign extremism, but did not say if it was ISIS, Al Qaeda, or some other similar ideology. Officials stressed there is no current threat to the public,

One official says some of the arrests occurred in Dearborn and Inkster, Michigan.

Oh, let's definitely stop deporting illegal aliens on the Not-Holy Day they plot to murder us on.

On a lighter Halloween note: Trump and the First Lady handed out YUGE Hershey bars with gilt edges to trick-or-treaters last night.

President Trump returned from a five-day trip across Asia just in time to host hundreds of costumed children for Halloween at the White House on Thursday evening, greeting families on the South Lawn with chocolate, handshakes, and plenty of laughter.

With the U.S. Air Force Strolling Strings performing "Thriller," President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump emerged under the South Portico, surrounded by pumpkins, hay bales, and autumn leaves. The evening drew a crowd of military, law enforcement, and families, along with administration officials and their children -- many dressed as superheroes, princesses, and classic Halloween figures. Trump delighted the crowd, chatting and joking with the kids while handing out commemorative chocolate bars stamped with the presidential seal.


Only gilded jumbo-sized candy bars for Donnie Two-Scoops.

You know who The Real Terrorist is? Yes, that's right, TRUMP is the Real Terrorist Here.

Because sometimes Trump puts CANDY on innocent children's HEADS.

serialoffendercandyonheads.jpg

There was once a man who used to put candy on children's heads.

His name was Adolf.

Adolf Hitler, I mean.

Check out the McDonald's stand video and photo below:

mcdonaldsstandhalloween.jpg


I don't know if you're history buffs like I am, but Adolf -- Hitler, I mean -- became bitter and radicalized when he failed out of his chosen occupation of being a McDonald's fry cook in Vienna.


I believe it was Hitler who coined the term, "Arbeit macht fries" during his stint at McDonalds

Buick's LaCrosse in my year (2016 ) had a hybrid model, or whatever eAssist is. I never saw one for sale used -- I guess people hang on to them. The ICE engine in it is the 180-hp 4-cyl. that I found anemic in the Regal, so I wanted the V-6 model. Which I have. It returns amazing fuel mileage for such a big car: on ethanol-free gas on my IN trip, at 70 mph w/ A/C on, it clocked 34.7 mpg.

As a Christian I have real problems with the popularity of Halloween. Not because I think that it is a sinister evil celebration of Satan or something, but because its a much, much bigger holiday and event than Christmas in America. People celebrate and even decorate less for Christmas every year.

Actually, the Village parade is one of the few events that started as almost all-gay and was later coopted by straights. The "parade" started decades ago in the Village -- then a homo hotbed -- as a small gay gathering on Halloween. It wasn't really a parade.

Over the years, it's turned into a major event, probably the largest Halloween event in the country if not the world. There are tens of thousands of people in costumes and million+ spectators. It's insane. I've gone a few times myself.

She was whining about the explicitly of the decorations, which included the usual spiders, dismembered monsters, webs and lights. Nothing out of the ordinary. BUT, to her it was offensive, so she put on a show in front of it for the cameras. All the time she's screaming that people of the west are sick and depraved or some such nonsense.

She'd only been in Canada for a very short period of time.

44 I gotta be honest, I think Mrs Trump looks very heavily modified by cosmetic surgery and squints all the time, I don't find her that beautiful but she is classy now and I like her approach to being first lady. She's not out doing lame cause stuff or promoting some "Just say no" campaign, she's just supportive of her husband, makes the White House look nice, and does events looking elegant.

46 Halloween seems like it should always fall on a Friday but it rarely does. It falls on a Friday, by my rough calculations, about one in seven times. Weird.

Did you factor in leap years?

Posted by: Lance McCormick

The days of the week on which particular dates fall follow a 28-year cycle. Makes sense when you think about it, since there are seven days in a week, and then a leap year every four years. 7 x 4 = 28.

As a Christian I have real problems with the popularity of Halloween. Not because I think that it is a sinister evil celebration of Satan or something, but because its a much, much bigger holiday and event than Christmas in America. People celebrate and even decorate less for Christmas every year.

127 In all seriousness, Halloween is one of those quasi-holidays that people celebrate for various religious and/or secular reasons but aren't important enough to get the day off for. In this day and age, that's a fairly reasonable metric, IMO.

Valentine's Day is another.

The Euros all get six weeks of vacation, we get maybe two weeks if we have a good job, or 35 hours of LWOP if we don't.
so many people live in the unending grind and want an excuse to do something fun.
Also, light does not exist without darkness, and keeping the snake where you can see it is far better than banishing it from sight so it can lurk out of view.

Such gilded excess in the name of naked propaganda is particularly distasteful and tone-deaf in the current moment.

ICE and CBP goon squads are disappearing people into concentration camps
The Republicans have shut down the government in the name of punishing migrants and in so doing will starve the Americans they claim to love so much
The government has assaulted the neutral press by eliminating public media to ensure only pro-administration propaganda gets published
We're engaged in a campaign of military assassination on the high seas
Trump is working to destroy the climate by ruining international cooperation and regulation on which the future depends.

It's gotten so bad that people throughout the world are weeping with hunger pangs as they cower under the multi-stranded lash with which Trump is whipping them while he boils their oceans makes acid rain down upon them - and he hands out gilded chocolate bars to the children of cronies for a photo op.

It's revolting.

Indeed!

And if I could get the whole "total Biblical Angel" package with the "make everyone cower in terror" aura, I'd be totally down for it. Doesn't every single angelic appearance in the Bible come with something like "don't be afraid!" as the first words?

Sadly, I don't think I can get the whole terrifying angel aspect down.

It would totally rock as a costume though, if I could. Being the Archangel Michael about to lay some smackdown on Satan? Gotta be worth a few full size candy bars....

Here's a fun anecdote for you - once in elementary school someone at school let me borrow an action figure from a then-current fantasy cartoon to take home and play with. My father had a complete crashout at me because the toy didn't look like something God made as part of Creation. So it was taken from me and shelved until I could give it back.

I have to disagree with your overall philosophy there. Doing the absolute raw bare legally required minimum of feeding and sheltering your kids doesn't make you a good parent or even cover the job of parenting.

But I think the point here is that a lot of people here, including myself, were physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually abused by our parents. In spades. For years. And in some cases, wrapped in the guise of good Christian parenting (no shit - I had plenty of pointless beatings getting scripture quoted at me, use a rod, obey your parents, honor your father and mother, etc). You give a narcissistic abuser religious sanction to justify that they can do no wrong and you can do no right...holy fuck.

Family can be assholes. To this day there are some family members who think I haven't had a job in years. All because I didn't take over the family business to pursue music. I always had a job. When music was great, that was the job, when it started to falter I had backups just in case. Lots of backups. There's a dozen different trades I can do and do well, but in their eyes I don't have a job because I was never just a number with bosses in the same building for 40 years. They can kiss my ass.

439 I have to disagree with your overall philosophy there. Doing the absolute raw bare legally required minimum of feeding and sheltering your kids doesn't make you a good parent or even cover the job of parenting.

It's sufficient parenting. Not good or bad. It does cover the job.

I had good parents. I try to be a good parent, and I do love my kids. But that is not a requirement. Parents are required to do certain things, and loving their kids just isn't one of them.

I hear far too many people try to explain their flaws because dad never came to their baseball games. My dad loved me and never went to a single rugby game, or school event, or anything like that. He was too fucking busy and tired from earning a living so we weren't starving in the dark.

This isn't to excuse horrible parenting - just to say that we have vastly expanded the definition of that in my lifetime.

THE MORNING RANT: Periodic Roundup of the EV Follies – 10/31/2025

EV Fire at IHOP.png

September 30, 2025 was a monumental day for American taxpayers and for freedom-loving Americans, as the $7,500 federal credit toward the purchase of new electric vehicles was terminated. (Along with it, the $4,000 tax credit toward the purchase of used EVs also went away.) This had served as a $7,500 taxpayer transfer of wealth to EV buyers, who tend to already be an affluent demographic.

For anyone still interested in buying an EV, September 30 effectively served as the cutoff date. For manufacturers drowning in a glut of unsold EVs, that date also served as their drop-dead date to make whatever deals possible, because their loss per unit sold was about to get $7,500 higher in October.

While I await the Q4 2025 (October through December) sales results, which should be catastrophic, auto manufacturers are already re-trenching.

This first headline is a story that I’ve been eagerly waiting to report on for several years:

“Ford to End Production of Failed F-150 Lightning” [Yahoo Finance – 10/24/2025]

Ford’s management shows wisdom in shutting down Lightning production. The electric pickup never sold well, suggesting its launch was a terrible mistake. Additionally, the U.S. EV market is dying and will not bounce back soon. The $7,500 EV tax credit expired at the end of the third quarter.

[h/t to Ace of Spades reader “Tad P.” who not only emailed me this headline, but his subject line also properly referred to the F150 Lightning by my preferred moniker, the “F150 Conflagration.” Good job, Tad!]

The F150 Conflagration Lightning was supposed to be Ford’s flagship vehicle as it transitioned its customers from gas pickups to electric pickups. In fact, Ford built an entire new plant (Blue Oval City) near Memphis just to build electric pickups. The plant was originally scheduled to commence production in 2025, but Ford is now saying production has been pushed back to 2028, even though the facility has been built. Ford knows, and I know, that EV production will not happen by then. Donald Trump will still be President, and there will not be a return of federal subsidies for EVs during his administration. Ford owes its Directors and shareholders an update on what it’s going to do with its never-used, mothballed EV plant.

Fortunately, Ford’s customers never abandoned Ford, even when its executives were trying to abandon those loyal customers. The traditional gas-powered, internal combustion (“ICE” F150 is still selling like crazy. In fact, Ford is re-allocating pretty much all of its workers who had been assembling electric F150s to a nearby plant that produces ICE F150s.

“Ford F-150 Lightning Production Halted Indefinitely After Supplier Fire” [EV.com – 10/24/2025]

Ford plans to boost F-150 output by 45,000 units in 2026 through workforce redistribution and plant upgrades. Roughly 1,200 [Rouge Electric Vehicle Center] employees will transition to the Dearborn Truck Plant, supported by 90 new hires at Dearborn Stamping and 80 at Dearborn Diversified Manufacturing. The Kentucky Truck Plant will also add 100 employees to raise annual production by about 5,000 units.

Regarding the supplier fire in that headline, Novelis supplies aluminum to several manufacturers, and its Oswego plant had a fire that put it out of commission for a while. This is a handy excuse as to why Ford is suspending production of its electric pickup truck. But Ford is not suspending production of the ICE F150, which also uses plenty of aluminum. And coincidentally, the entire Lightning workforce is being repurposed to assemble 50,000 additional gas and diesel F150s per year. The suspension of EV production is not a supplier issue, it’s a lack-of-customers issue.

I’ve noticed over the years that pretty much every time a manufacturer suspends production of an EV, the official reason is that there is a supplier issue or a supply-line problem, when the reality is that there is a glut of unsold inventory.

Ford has lost $3.6 billion on its EV program through the first three quarters of 2025, with the full-year loss expected to exceed $5 billion. This comes on top of losses of $9.8 billon over the previous two years for Ford’s EV unit.

The best time for Ford to pull the plug on its disastrous EV program was several years ago. The next best time is now.

*****

The next end-of-an-era headline I’m waiting for is Rivian to announce its bankruptcy. We’re not there yet, but we’re getting closer….

“Rivian to cut over 600 jobs as EV demand flags after tax credits expire” [Reuters – 10/23/2025]

Rivian Automotive is laying off 4.5% of its workforce, or over 600 employees, an internal email showed on Thursday, as the electric-vehicle maker contends with weakening demand following the expiry of key U.S. tax credits.

Rivian lost over $10 billion in the past two full years, and it’s on track to lose more than $3 billion this year, even thogh this year included nine months with the $7,500 federal tax credit in place.

I am saddened about the laid-off Rivian workers losing their jobs, but it can never be forgotten that Rivian’s business plan was reliant on the government making it illegal to manufacture and sell traditional ICE vehicles, thus causing mass unemployment among legacy auto manufacturing operations and their suppliers.

It should also never be forgotten that Georgia Governor Brian Kemp (R?) threw $1.5 billion of taxpayer money at Rivian in the hopes that it would prosper if/when his climate-alarmist friends in the Biden administration successfully snuffed out legacy auto manufacturing.

*****

Still more bad news for Rivian…

“Rivian agrees to pay $250 million to settle IPO fraud lawsuit” [Reuters – 10/23/2025]

Rivian has agreed to settle a 2022 class-action lawsuit by paying $250 million to some shareholders who had alleged the electric vehicle maker defrauded investors over vehicle prices when it went public, according to a court filing on Thursday.

The lawsuit claimed that Rivian during and after its blockbuster 2021 initial public offering concealed that it had underpriced its EVs, leading to unpopular price hikes later.

Rivian is burning so much cash that another $250 million out the door further accelerates the day that checks start bouncing. But this lawsuit is also kind of preposterous in that anyone investing in a start-up EV manufacturer with no customer base and reliant on government outlawing its competition, is an investor who deserves to lose his investment.

*****

General Motors is also having to recognize massive losses from its EV debacle.

“GM to take $1.6 billion charge related to EV pullback” [CNBC – 10/14/2025]

General Motors will record a negative impact of $1.6 billion in its next quarter after tax incentives for electric vehicles were slashed by the U.S. and rules governing emissions are relaxed.

This CNBC piece also states that GM has an ongoing “reassessment of its EV capacity and manufacturing footprint.” I can help. Whatever the current “EV capacity and manufacturing footprint” is, that is too much. Eliminate it.

An otherwise good quarter for General Motors was ruined by its EV red ink: “GM Profit Down 56% As Revenue Holds Steady During Q3 2025” [GM Authority – 10/22/2025]

GM’s profit in Q3 of 2025 was $1.3 billion. Its profit one year prior was $3.0 billion (or $1.7 billion higher.) Pretty much the entire difference this year was the massive $1.6 billion EV charge off.

*****

With consumer demand for electric vehicles (other than Tesla) transitioning from anemic to negligible, headlines about the suspension of EV production are coming fast:

“Nissan to pause US EV production plans as tax credits dry up” [Nikkei Asia – 10/01/2025]

“The Chevrolet BrightDrop EV Van Is Dead; BrightDrop is going dark as GM shuts down the production line” [Inside EVs – 10/21/2025]

General Motors' BrightDrop electric delivery vans are no more. The automaker made the decision to shutter production of the commercial vehicle at its CAMI Assembly plant in Canada and announced the news on Tuesday alongside its third-quarter earnings.

According to GM, the reason for the shutdown is "much slower than expected" development of the commercial electric delivery van market.

“…slower than expected”?? Frankly, the failure of this awful product is exactly what I expected. Had any of GM’s executives or directors asked me about the prospects for this abomination rather than following the instructions of Klaus Schwab, there would be no surprises about the demand that never developed.

Since it’s hard to keep up with all the failed EVs that are being discontinued, Car and Driver magazine has helpfully put together an article documenting them all: “Here Are All the EVs That Were Canceled or Discontinued; As demand for EVs cools in the United States, several electric models have been killed off after just a brief time in the spotlight” [Car and Driver – 10/26/2025]

*****

Parked EVs continue to spontaneously become engulfed in runaway thermal fires. The header picture is an EV that burst into flames while parked at an IHOP in Syracuse a couple weeks ago.

There are too many spontaneous EV fires to feature them all, but this story is extremely disturbing: “Driver Burns Alive Trapped in Electric Car


Driver Burns Alive.png


One of the futuristic features of many EVs is that the door requires electrical commands to open rather than opening via the mechanical action of pulling the inside door handle, an action which also overrides the door lock on cars with traditional mechanical handles. Relying on an electrical command to open a door means that when there is a loss of power, the driver can get locked in.

Similar tragedies have struck Tesla models in Germany, Canada and the US, where crashes left victims trapped inside burning cars after power failures disabled the doors.

It’s not just after crashes that people get stuck in their EVs because the door won’t unlock: “Arizona Man Was Trapped in Tesla on a 100-Degree Day” [USA Today – 8/02/2023]

An Arizona man told a Phoenix TV station that he was trapped inside his Tesla Model Y during a 100-degree day with no knowledge of how to get out. "I couldn't open the doors. I couldn't lower the windows," Rick Meggison, a 73-year-old resident of Peoria told ABC-15. "The computer was dead, so I couldn't open the glove box. I couldn't open anything."

Meggison said his lithium-ion battery had plenty of range on it, but a 12-volt battery inside the vehicle that powers the items that weren't running was dead.

Now that the Trump administration has eliminated almost all market-distorting government influences on auto manufacturing, it sure would be nice if someone would start building cars with fewer electronic gimmicks, focusing instead on analog controls, an absence of lithium batteries, and good old-fashioned, manual door handles.

Suggesting. Suggesting? Usually when you spend billions on a highly-pimped "this is the future" product, and the product sells so poorly you cancel the whole fucking stinking thing after only a few years, that does more than merely "suggest" the product's launch was a terrible mistake. It proves the launch was a terrible mistake.

But there is no argument for an electric pickup at all, and the Ford implementation of it was just execrable. It's one of the very worst automobiles ever created - I'd rather have it than a Trabant or Wartburg, but not a Yugo or even a Lada.

I'm not quite savage to say "the wrong Farley died," but the Lightning is a solid argument for the Ford investors who I'm quite sure are saying that.

“Beyond that, their cost, their quality of their vehicles is far superior to what I see in the West.”

“We are in a global competition with China, and it’s not just EVs. And if we lose this, we do not have a future Ford.”

“I don’t like talking about the competition so much, but I drive the Xiaomi. We flew one from Shanghai to Chicago, and I’ve been driving it for six months now, and I don’t want to give it up.”

88 Since this is a post on cars, now's a the time for an episode of The Blade's Garage of Total Awesomeness. Today's episode is not about any specific vehicle, but a vehicle manufacturing process that's straight out of sci-fi.

I was in Spartanburg earlier this week, and took the BMW plant tour. It's manned almost entirely by bright orange robots built by Kuka in Germany. They twist and twirl and swing around metal components weighing 100s of pounds, with the grace of a ballet dancer. It's almost impossible to believe what you're seeing is real. If I saw this in a vid, I would think it was CGI.

Probably 95% of the car is built like this. Humans do almost nothing other than ensure the material bins for the robots are stocked. In some more advanced factories, like Porsche in Germany or Lambo in Italy (build by Audi), even the restocking is handled mostly by robots.

Well ... if the robots build the cars, who builds the robots?

If you're ever near Spartanburg, I highly recommend the tour. I tried to find a good vid that shows the robots in action, but there seems to be none available. The tech is highly secretive, so I'm not surprised.

90 I will make a prediction, one I have made before: I think Jaguar, as a brand, is dead. (International car maker Tata owns them now) All current models have ceased production, and there is no new inventory until the company supposedly will release a new line of all-electric vehicles.

Go and look at Jaguar's website, and all they are selling currently is a lonely SUV model. Nothing else. A marquee name does not survive when all the factories shut down and make nothing, much less any dealerships. My prediction is that given market conditions, the new All Electric models will never be launched, and the few fragments left of Jaguar will be transferred to other companies held by Tata. Of course they may trot out the name every so often, just for branding purposes; but that will be all.

Posted by: Tom Servo at October 31, 2025 11:25 AM (uWKK8)

91 Now that the Trump administration has eliminated almost all market-distorting government influences on auto manufacturing, it sure would be nice if someone would start building cars with fewer electronic gimmicks, focusing instead on analog controls, an absence of lithium batteries, and good old-fashioned, manual door handles.
++++
That isn't going to happen. Not the analogue controls part, anyway, in large part.

All of those switches and dials are software now. The physical stuff like door locks and handles needn't be fully electric and shouldn't be, but things like the air conditioning, lights, wipers, etc. are all networked and don't have direct connection. There are some pretty good reasons for that.

It also isn't new. I'm increasingly of the opinion that automotive engineering may have peaked in the late 90s or early aughts. There were enough electronics to make everything work really well and efficiently and flexibly, but it was still serviceable and wasn't locked-out and DRM-protected to hell. You could still usually replace parts and fix things and there weren't so many electronic controls and components that it jumped the shark in terms of system complexity.

That has been much more recent, but the level of electronic integration and connectedness has made it possible. But I don't blame the excessive amounts of software and programming and radios for the development. They were there, and the executives found a way to ... ahem ... "monetize" it.

BMW is egregious in this regard. Most of what they build is top-spec because it's cheaper to assemble one or two variants even if it means they're assembling everything with every option. Manufacturing is so much cheaper that it still works out. That's cool. Good industrial efficiency and customer wins.

Except that the customer doesn't win, because he has to pay a subscription to turn on hardware BMW put in the car but won't let him use. That is bullshit. The customer paid for that hardware.

Not gonna happen for a million reasons, the primary one being that buyers want this shit, and are willing to pay for it.

That might not be true in the future, but right now buyers are giddy for as much electronic and digital stuff in the car as they can get. In almost every instance where a digital option is available to replace an analog one, the buyer chooses the digital option.

Some of the newest and most expensive vehicles have entire dashboards that are one yuge touchscreen.

There was like, 4 or 5 inches of water in the lot, so it's not like the car was submerged.

But it was pouring down rain and the car drove itself to where he was waiting, under some store's awning.

True, but the 80s tech wasn't ready yet, and after the initial buzz wore off, buyers recognized they were essentially alpha testers. The tech is 100x better now, and can do things the 80s tech couldn't dream of. Some of the stuff is indeed useful and clearly a step forward from analog.

A few companies are toying with the idea of stepping back from digital, but the reaction has been "this sucks." Bentley has a rotating dash feature where you can hide the touchscreen.

155 The "subscriptions" for things like heated seats aren't really what the media has been click-baiting us for. You don't need a subscription to use the heated seats. You can get in the car and push a button to turn them on, no subscription needed.

What you do need a subscription for, however, is to use the company's wireless network service to remotely turn on the car and activate the heated seats. That involves apps, cell and digital networks, and the company's cloud infrastructure. That's not a feature "built into" the car.

I don't like paying for that either, but that's not the same as buying a car and not being able to turn on heated seats without a monthly fee.

Yes, it is.

The heating elements, control mechanisms, interlocks, etc. all already exist. They are built in, just turned off and disabled you can't use them unless you pay more to use what is already there. That the company has to stand up a major IT infrastructure to handle the on/off call is beside the point. They wouldn't have to maintain that infrastructure if they *weren't* rent-seeking in the first place. They would just turn it on at the factory and ship it.

And yes, OTA updates are a thing now, too - but that infrastructure is needed for that anyway and it is paid for through savings at the service department. Exploiting that infrastructure to enable rent-seeking and then blaming the costs to run it in order to justify the rent-seeking is bullshit.

180 What you do need a subscription for, however, is to use the company's wireless network service to remotely turn on the car and activate the heated seats. That involves apps, cell and digital networks, and the company's cloud infrastructure. That's not a feature "built into" the car. ...

Yes, it is.

The heating elements, control mechanisms, interlocks, etc. all already exist. They are built in, just turned off and disabled you can't use them unless you pay more to use what is already there. That the company has to stand up a major IT infrastructure to handle the on/off call is beside the point. They wouldn't have to maintain that infrastructure if they *weren't* rent-seeking in the first place. They would just turn it on at the factory and ship it.

My truck has a tow thing where it senses the length of that is being towed and has trailer backup assist in the camera that is AI generated. That’s pretty fucking cool when you’re backing up a 30 ft trailer.

194 There's an untapped market for "jailbreaking" vehicle options. I'm sure it exists, but it's not widely known.

The software used in most vehicles is very similar and pretty unsophisticated for what it does. Thieves were able to reproduce the keyfob tech to open, and then steal Kia's by the thousands not long ago.

Then someone figured out how to steal a vehicle more complicated than that by tapping into the "network" by plugging a laptop with software on it into the vehicle's headlight fixture. Tap a few keys, open the door and do a remote start. Drive off.

That is a service charge. The equipment is *mine.* If I choose to subscribe to services, cool. But locking out core functionality by choice in order to extract more money from the customer is still a load of crap. The two things - remote control services and subscriptions for fixed hardware enablement - are not the same, even if they share a common delivery infrastructure.

One requires real-time support and access. The other requires a software "switch" to be flipped to turn on stuff that exists in the vehicle. I can use my phone without a network connection to use software I have locally installed. The phone doesn't suddenly say that some blocks of local storage capacity or processor cores or parts of the screen or whatever are unavailable if I don't pay Samsung a monthly vig.

Yes. The theme of this post seems it be "we don't need all this junk," but if you read the comments, there are an awfully large number of "junk" options that people here do really like, and will pay for. Which of course is why cars offer all this stuff. People want it.

225 The bottom line is that EVs were always a novelty item, a fad that the government propped up by printing money and handing it out. And it was always for the rich. Middle class families cannot afford a new EV because not only are they rather expensive, but cannot act as a primary vehicle, so it has to be a second purchase.

So the left, in its idiotic push to eliminate gas powered cars, stole money from the public to help wealthy people buy a second car.

Which is odd no matter how you spin it.

It depends entirely on initial configuration.

You can pay the dealer up-front and they turn it on and it stays on. If you don't, you can turn it on later and pay a subscription. Either way, it is an upcharge for kit BMW installed at the factory. You get to choose the depth and vigorousness of your butt-pounding, but not whether you receive one. Every BMW shipped has heated seats, even if you don't get that package or whatever. The payment is to turn it on, since they decided they just couldn't bear putting a "premium feature" on every model just because it saved a bundle on supply chain management and assembly.

Turns out that incandescent light bulbs really are a poor choice compared to new tech, but the left didn't believe that anyone would figure that out, and forced crappy inferior choices that cost a lot more on everyone through law. Eventually everyone would have gone to the newer bulbs on their own but it would have taken too long, I guess.

Buick's LaCrosse in my year (2016)had a hybrid model, or whatever eAssist is. I never saw one for sale used -- I guess people hang on to them. The ICE engine in it is the 180-hp 4-cyl. that I found anemic in the Regal, so I wanted the V-6 model. Which I have. It returns amazing fuel mileage for such a big car: on ethanol-free gas on my IN trip, at 70 mph w/ A/C on, it clocked 34.7 mpg.

If you're talking about the one I'm thinking of, the problem was that one pilot was commanding the nose up and one was commanding nose down after the pitot probe had iced up so the FMCS couldn't fly it.

The inexperienced pilot in the left seat didn't realize that the aircraft was in a stalled attitude and so kept commanding pitch up because the indicated airspeed was over Vne and the more experienced pilot in the right seat did recognize the stall, so was commanding pitch down, but the left seat always overrides the right seat or some such.

The problem with highly automated systems is that they can have surprising behaviors that you may have to figure out on a moment's notice. Or you die.

297 As usual, Buck Throckmorton continues to trash his reputation as an honest commentator by spreading falsehoods about Tesla—the only successful new American car manufacturer in the last 100 years.

The EV that caught fire in Syracuse, NY, was identified as a Tesla, although it clearly isn’t one.
The driver who burned alive? That incident involved a Xiaomi SU7 in China—a vehicle recently introduced and not yet sold in the U.S.
And the “Arizona man trapped in his Tesla on a 100-degree day”? Yes, that was a Tesla—but the car has a manual door release, which the 73-year-old driver apparently couldn’t locate.

Is Tesla at fault here? Maybe, maybe not—but that doesn’t seem to matter. The goal is simply to attack Tesla and spread misinformation, for reasons best known to the accuser.

Why do they need a gas vehiche for long distances? Have they ever even tried to do a long distance trip with their Tesla? Or do they assume that is going to run out of juice before they arrive at their locations? I travel from DC to New York a few times a year to visit relatvies and I see Tesla's on the highway all the time doing. I see them at rest stops recharging (you can add 200 miles of range in 15 minutes). People have to stop to rest anyway, at least every two hours of driving to rest, take a leak or whatever, so what's the concern?

"Glenn Howerton (Dennis Reynolds on "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia") has an amusing story of his own Tesla follies. He parked his car in an underground parking garage and it lost power or something. He was not locked inside the vehicle. Instead he was locked out of it. Because it was underground, it couldn't connect to the wireless network in the region. It took him about three days to get that car out of the underground parking garage when all he needed was a bit of juice."

That's not what happened. The problem with Howerton’s Tesla Model X was caused because the key fob failed in an underground garage with no cell signal, locking him out—not in—and the battery never died. The ordeal lasted just over 24 hours across Friday night to Saturday evening, not three days, and the fix required a flatbed tow, not “a bit of juice.

Does anyone know how much Tesla makes on each car selling CAFE credits? That is another subsidy but instead of coming from tax payers, it comes from ICE buyers."

These subsidies are called "regulatory credits" and they were eliminated too back in August. It's hard how much the company made per vehicles as they are not allocated in a uniform manner. It represented from 1.5% to 2.8% of Tesla's revenues and last year it represented 43% of net income in the first three quarters. They are still used overseas, so Tesla is expected to get $1.5 billion this year, but is expected to fall to about a third of that for 2026.

You didn’t—and I should have been clearer about that. I did say you were spreading falsehoods about Tesla because the report from Syracuse was inaccurate. That’s not a Tesla; the 'reporter' was never on-site (it’s a studio recording), and they’re merely commenting on a video apparently provided by someone else. That’s low-quality journalism, and you’re linking to it.

As for the fire in China—that speaks more to abysmal quality control there. I get it: you don’t like EVs, and that’s your right. But I have to say, you seem more focused on narrative than accuracy. At this point, I’ll assume that’s your general approach—not just in the claims I can fact-check, but in everything you write.

81 He obviously inherited the family's artistic talent and maybe grandpa's sense of humor. The subtle blending of colors is effective as a background, making the figure stand out strongly. There is a realistic edge to the figure and an Impressionist feel to the rest. Interesting.

Looking at some of his other paintings, you can see Andrew's influence but it's not just a continuation. Jamie has his own viewpoint and imagination. I don't know if it's been done, but a comparison of the various Wyeth's art over the years would be interesting.

All DEI hires in nonsense jobs like marketing or social media out reach or what have you.

And today amazon CEO basically said the same thing. We let these people to for “cultural reasons” LOL. He didn’t say it was DEI hires of course but if you read between the lines you get it.

14k DEI dead wood making six figures. Eventually even the west companies lol at this and go wtf are we doing here? Look for all the other big tech companies to start this as well. This is another good sign that DEI, while not dead, is certainly less powerful than a year or two ago.

Gotta love online job forms.

At least they're better than they were the last time I went job searching. The extraction from resumes is much better now. Before, I'd submit the resume and then do the inputs into their forms manually. Now, I just need to review it to make sure that everything it fine.

And, so many people using WorkDay, it's almost second nature going through that by now.

Thanks.

I like giving out candy. It's nice to see kids having fun and some of the costumes are really good. Last year, I had an extremely elaborate and well put-together Wednesday Addams who obviously put great creative labor into her costume. It was definitely not an off-the-shelf item and she had some real talent.

Superheroes fell out of fashion the past couple of years around these parts. Harry Potter had a resurgence, along with more classics like vampires. It's also fun to watch the trend.

It's a fun holiday. Enjoy it if that's what you're into!

Until the girlboss power move in the final season that revealed her for a complete psychopath (which I thought was obvious from very early) was so blatant (and had her attacking white people, not brown people) that it turned off her fanbase.

I loved that part of the final season, by the way.

147 It's nice to see kids having fun and some of the costumes are really good. Last year, I had an extremely elaborate and well put-together Wednesday Addams who obviously put great creative labor into her costume. It was definitely not an off-the-shelf item and she had some real talent.

Superheroes fell out of fashion the past couple of years around these parts. Harry Potter had a resurgence, along with more classics like vampires. It's also fun to watch the trend.

It's a fun holiday. Enjoy it if that's what you're into!

When I was laid off, I spent six moths job hunting and applying, an average of 8 applications per week from damn-near entry level (I'm not) to aspirational stuff I was barely (or flat out wasn't) qualified for. Crickets across the board.

Then, inside of a single two-week period, I was slammed with interviews and three offers landed the same day. One was from a job board, one from a direct application, one from a network contact.

I don't want to have to be serious _all_ the time.

But being serious all the time is the correct thing to do, if I want to prove to everybody that I am at least attempting to be responsible.

Wyeth's self-portrait Pumpkinhead — Self-Portrait (1972), depicting a figure in black standing in a field with a pumpkin over his head, is as self-effacing as his father's self-portrait Trodden Weed (1951), showing only Andrew's legs from the knees down. Jamie Wyeth submitted it to the National Academy of Design as a required response to his invitation to join, but it was rejected. He then submitted a half-length nude self-portrait against a dark background, securing his membership at the young age of 23.

At this point, "George RR Martin is never gonna finish 'Winds of Winter'" is such a common joke that even I know it and while I follow pop culture to some degree, I'm not even in the club of people who care.

293 Same. I don't mind plinking boats in international waters, but direct hits inside a sovereign country requires more justification than wanting to interdict drug flow.
Posted by: Frasier Crane at October 31, 2025 10:38 AM (bNf8H)

For me, I’d say that justification would fall under violations of the Vienna Convention of 1961 (the embassy is not operational but its premises are still inviolate). Or something along those lines.

The isolationists and Code Pinkers might be surprised by my thinking. But while I firmly advocate Peace Through Strength, we should utilize DIME, and not rush to military ops as the first resort. This is one of those times. Let the Maduro regime be toppled by organic means. It will mean a great deal to Venezuela too.

The 2.8% Social Security cost-of-living adjustment for 2026 will push up the maximum full retirement benefit, as millions of monthly checks increase starting in January.

Additionally, workers who are under full retirement age and claim benefits face new limits for how much they can earn before their benefits are reduced.

354 In Ireland, the tradition of carving turnips for Halloween began as a way to ward off evil spirits during the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. These early turnip lanterns were the original Jack-o'-lanterns, a practice brought to America by Irish immigrants who switched to pumpkins because they were more abundant and easier to carve. The legend of Stingy Jack, an Irish folktale about a man cursed to wander the earth with a burning coal in a carved-out turnip, is the origin of the name "jack-o'-lantern."

I'm BLOODY ANNOYED at the fact that his failure here has actually genuinely hurt the entire genre, and it's much harder to get a fantasy epic published now because of him.

The Morning Report — 10/31/25

Mom-Donny.jpg

Good morning kids, and Happy Halloween. So, madness like this is bad enough.


If you’re not familiar with Democrat influencer Jennifer Welch, co-host of the popular I’ve Had It podcast, you will be, because as conservative activist and author Allie Beth Stuckey put it on X, Welch “holds the fate of the West in her hands.” On the Monday edition of the show she hosts with former attorney Angie “Pumps” Sullivan, Welch unloaded with a typically profane commentary in which she not only reveled in the politically motivated assassination of late Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, but demanded that her fellow Democrats “get onboard” with this murderous agenda or else they’ll be targeted too.


I would assume that this beast, and that's putting it mildly when you see her headshot let alone hear the venom dripping from her reptilian maw and fangs, has been deplatformed everywhere. Of course that would be a completely foolish assumption given the nature of the media landscape.

Jennifer Welch Is Proof the New X Platform Algorithm Is Messing with Conservatives — It’s been more than a month, and more than a few conservatives have been complaining about a major algorithm shift on the X platform. Instead of seeing posts from people they follow or may like, the “For You” feed is serving up to conservatives all of the most hard-core leftists who didn’t take their ball and go home when Elon Musk bought Twitter. 

Well, it certainly seems as if some in her audience have heard what she said and took it as marching orders

A federal grand jury in Chicago indicted six people, including a Democrat congressional candidate and other local politicians, on charges of interfering with a federal agent during a chaotic protest outside an immigration detention site last month.

For those who think what she did was no big deal, to date we have had ICE and other law enforcement officers assaulted and even firebombed and shot at. And it's not just some random podcaster inciting violence, it is major and minor Leftist political figures and Democrat party leadership itself that is shrieking loudest and shrillest in calling for the heads of their political enemies up to and most of all that of President Donald Trump.

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, whose Day One memo had ordered prosecutors to give armed robbers a pass, has announced that he’s looking into prosecuting ICE agents.While Bragg had let a man accusing of raping a teenage girl go with 30 days and probation so that he went on a “sex-crime spree” attacking four different women until one of his victims hit him on the head with a hammer, he aggressively pursued President Trump and subway hero Daniel Penny who had prevented a crazed homeless man from attacking fellow passengers. . .

. . . The move by the California state government to create the legal infrastructure for trying to arrest federal law enforcement personnel marks a major escalation that could easily tip into violence. Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker has recognized the dangerous futility of local prosecutions now, threatening ICE personnel, “that maybe they’re not gonna get prosecuted today, although we’re looking at doing that, but they may get prosecuted after the Trump administration.”

. . . California, Chicago or Manhattan are no more entitled to protect their insurrectionist ‘sanctuaries’ for illegal alien criminals from federal law enforcement than Confederate forces were to shell Fort Sumter. Complaints about how ICE agents go about their work are a fig leaf that may pass muster with the type of federal district court judges that the ACLU has on speed dial, but won’t work at either a higher legal level let alone in an armed military confrontation. Sanctuary state Democrats are playing a foolish game that can only end in a civil war.

With all due respect to the estimable Daniel Greenfield, it can only end in a civil war if President Trump, whatever allies he has in government and the vast majority of the citizenry stand shoulder to shoulder with him when and IF he decides to wield a terrible swift sword of justice against Pritzker, Newsom, and the Democrat Party as a whole by removing them from office by force of arms, abolishing their party and putting this insurrection down, once and for all.

Likelihood of that happening is slim to none. So some time down the road, when Democrats assume control of the Executive and Legislative branches (likely by more election thievery) they will not let go and what was unleashed on candidate Trump and then President Trump starting 10 years ago and then on all of us who put him in office will be repeated by orders of magnitude. Evil never rests and on top of attempting to ensure they have absolute power forever, they will seek revenge and retribution against all of us.

Trump or no Trump, and whether the MAGA movement is a force to be reckoned with or if the miracle of Donald Trump's ascendancy is merely a temporary setback for the forces of darkness and evil that have been on the march for 200 years to destroy the American experiment is TBD.

IF you thought what we've experienced was nightmarish enough, the next 5 to 10 years and beyond may well be worse. God help us.

On that note, and also as a bit of tease, stay tuned for the podcast where our friend the estimable Robert Spencer will join us to discuss the rise of Zorhan Mamdani and the nightmare it portends not only for NYC but for America and the wider world. Should be posting later this afternoon in the sidebar and at CJN as well as the usual platforms below.

Y'know, the world is a funny place. I have long had the opinion that a nullification crisis would be preferable to outright civil war, because it provides an opportunity to avoid a war. Not a guarantee, but an opportunity. Nullification can easily result in war, but it at least has the *potential* to avoid it.

I saw it happening in conservative enclaves, particularly (or acting as a trigger) in opposition to federal oppression in the areas of environment, drugs, border or sex.

I did *not* see it happening in leftist enclaves in opposition to enforcement of laws they had been ignoring for decades.

It's fascinating.

65 ... it can only end in a civil war if President Trump, whatever allies he has in government and the vast majority of the citizenry stand shoulder to shoulder with him when and IF he decides to wield a terrible swift sword of justice ... and putting this insurrection down, once and for all.
++++
Not at all. That *could* happen, but at that point, it stops being a nullification crisis and becomes open war. It's also unlikely, since that would be a discrete and nameable escalation and nobody really wants "started a war of choice between the states" on his record. It's why nullification is a hairy problem.

It is much, much more likely, IMO, that Trump will respond with soft power. Amped up enforcement directly by federal agents (already happening) over the opposition of the nullifying government, and the revocation of cash assistance (pending) or the institution of punitive civil measures (higher taxes, special regulations, etc., for the nullifiers), which I see as unlikely at least for now.

War is always a possible outcome, but I think it's unlikely anyone jumps right to the finish line. The point of a nullification crisis the desire to avoid the war.

That depends entirely on a handful of conditions, namely:
1. How many AWFLs follow her?
2. Of her AWFL following, how many are in a position - or can quickly acquire a position - to realize her desires?
3. How many men will do what those AWFLs tell them to do?

I am not familiar with Welch, but I am familiar with her type and their followings are almost entirely comprised of fellow women. Radical women can be extremely dangerous, but their power is *usually* wielded by proxy. Do they have proxies? I dunno.

But Stuckey may be overstating it. I doubt very much that Welsh has that kind of power. The AWFLs as a group very well might.

They have the right to nullify anything they please. That's sort of the point. Nobody, arguably, has the "authority" to nullify *anything* outside of the established processes of legislation and litigation. This is why the act of nullifying can cause wars. But they have the "right" to try, even in the absence of the "authority" to do so.

As to the second point, it makes war *more* likely, not less, IMO. If CA wanted to nullify the federal DOT on asphalt composition regulations for controlled-access highways, for example, nobody is going to raise up arms about *that*. They will succeed with it, authority be damned. But the risk of war is precisely because of the interstate externalities of their policies.

I think the Usual RINO Supects voted to cancel Trump's emergency tariff authority for their local political purposes. (Except Rand Paul - he's being Rand.) I don't know their exact political calculations. Anyway their votes are effectively meaningless, for show only. Because Johnson won't bring this to the House floor for a vote. If it ever does pass the House due to more RINO/Anti-Trump treason, Trump will veto the bill and neither Senate nor House will get a 2/3 vote to override.

106 We watched-

"House of Dynamite" on Netflix a couple of nights ago.

And had the exact reaction to it as did Critical Drinker, except-

CD could think of no reason why this film was made, because it literally has no resolution.

and I'm here to 'splain it to him.

Netflix intertwined itself with Obama and Big Mike which is common knowledge.

During his second term, on the 4th of July(!), Obama gave a speech where he said he wasn't worried about an atomic bomb hitting a major US city like NYC. Obama said that the US was so big and so wealthy that we should not retaliate. We should take the hit and absorb it.

I think this is what happened to "House of Dynamite", is that in it the Mary Sue Obama (he can actually shoot a basketball!) just can't decide whether to retaliate small, large, or extra crispy or to not retaliate at all.

And that's where the movie ends- with no decision.

My guess is that the original ending was Obama Influenced and had Preezy Mary Sue deciding not to retaliate, because Hell, man. We're the United States. We can take atomic missile hits all the do-dah day.

Our Netflix Betters thought that was a stupid, tone deaf ending and cut it.

This is the dangerous part of the game for the Dems. I wrote a word hole on it last week (and was wrong - I expected Schumer to blink by today, since after 30 days, Trump's administration gets much wider powers in workforce reduction). It isn't that the Democrats "care" about government workers, it's that the government workers are in fact the fabric of workaday Party operations. They aren't just a political interest group, they're one of the most important means of implementing the Party agenda, and they are extremely reliable.

159 JustTheNews:

A memo buried in the middle of the 235-page evidence production that Patel sent the House Judiciary Committee this week chronicles how the FBI’s Washington Field Office rifled through financial records and campaign expenditure reports producing a “tactical intelligence report” trying to link payments between Trump’s re-election campaign and a vendor named American Made Media Consultants (AMMC) to possible casino gambling.

In short, the FBI agents believed an employee of the campaign went gambling at a casino after AMMC got money for campaign work. Not exactly the crime of the century.
Putting the "October" in "October Surprise"

Remarkably, the bulletin was produced on Oct. 21, 2020 — just two weeks before the Election Day when Trump lost to Joe Biden — and it recommended taking further actions toward opening a “a predicated investigation into Federal election crimes” even though it admitted its assessments that a crime occurred were with “low confidence.”

Rs gotta drop in line for Reid and vote him though...originally they all wanted him out and there had to be Kumbaya in the spring to keep him (the original R desired LT Gov candidate who was a shoo in got cancer and dropped out and Reid was the only other guy declared so automatically won b/c Rs follow the law here) - hopefully those same Rs turn out now for the greater good...

219 >> Conservative’ Pollster Shills For Health Insurance Companies With Sloppy Pro-Obamacare Talking Points

https://tinyurl.com/3exn4h6b

This is going to be the most important issue post shutdown. It’s rumored that some Republicans are already using biased studies such as this to justify extending the Obamacare subsidies that Democrats so badly want. It will end up making the ACA permanent and destroy private insurance. Johnson has said the committee is coming up with alternatives, but some in the caucus want to simply dump more money into Obamacare and continue the COVID subsidies.

So am I. For months I kept telling anyone who would listen that the Trump RNC was different and had learned about the Democrat cheat and how to combat it. And they did. There was still some low level cheating but it wasn't nearly enough to prevent Trump from winning the popular vote and all swing states.

Why do you think one of the first things Trump did after being sworn in was go after USAID and other corrupt elements in the bureaucracy that helped rig elections? Why do you think Patel is going after things like Arctic Frost, the name of a kind of orange by the way, and Jack Smith?

It's not solely about revenge. It's about taking down the apparatus the left uses to cheat and rig elections. And now Republican states all across the country are redistricting. Things are changing. For those who really know politics.

(Trump is wrong to call for an end to filibuster rules). The second part is them going hysterical about illegal aliens - because obviously they know that is their only path to retaining power.

Things never stay the same. We were all here for all those things and look how the country reacted. The Republican Party is almost done with its remake as a populist nationalist party and the Democrat Party is in the midst of its own civl war and the radicals are winning. They are loud and noisy but not that numerous with a relatively small ceiling.

Take a look at what is going on on college campuses across the country. All of these young people were also here for everything including Kirk's murder and they are overfilling arenas supporting our side. These aren't the college campuses of even a few years ago. These are smart, engaged, energetic young people who will help make up the new base of the party.

The left had a huge head start and has been dominating us for years but that doesn't mean they will forever. We are only just beginning to fight back but we are winning huge battles and they know it.

Again, look at what is happening on college campuses. TPUSA chapters are surging and so is membership. It has more than doubled since Kirk's murder.

If they expected to silence us by murdering Kirk it backfired in spectacular fashion. All you have to do is watch a couple rallies like the one the other day at Ole Miss to see the unstoppable enthusiasm for a return to conservative values on the young vote.

The most dangerous people in our country today are in the judiciary. These unelected judges are what the Framers and Founders most feared. They are not answerable to the people, and their rulings are anchored on politics not law. The constitution is very clear on the role of the judiciary, and their powers do not lie in any of the actions or views they express today. They have become a fifth column of authoritarian tyrants, determined to subvert our government from within. Until Congress realizes they are usurping the people’s power and decides to finally start impeaching and removing them, this will not stop. We are overrun with cowards and caitiffs too afraid to act when they must.

I'd go further.

Nobody for whom a majority of their income is from government sources should be allowed to vote. This includes, obviously, government employees and contractors for whom a majority of their income comes from government contracts. It could go even further and be classified as "anyone with a net-negative tax burden shall not vote," but that would be much harder to work out.

But if most of your income comes from the government, you're voting for a living and it represents insider dealing. It should not be permitted, at least not at the federal. The states and localities can make their own rules, but I'd support it at those levels, too.

Hindsight is 20/20 Jack. You are completely missing the point.

The perception, rightly or wrongly, is that leftists have been stealing elections large and small for decades, and increasing in frequency and severity in recent decades, culminating in what many believe to be an outright stolen election in 2020.

Given all of that, it is not unreasonable to suggest that most people were skeptical about Mr. Trump’s chances in 2024. Not in the genuine ballot. See the difference?

No sane person believed Biden or Harris had any chance at winning a free, fair, and legitimate election at any point in time. No chance. The leftists knew this implicitly and said so. The media has a vested interest in drumming up viewers.

I don’t get your point. Halloween was created out of a religious holiday. It no longer is seen as a religious holiday nor a celebration of the devil.

F*** it.

I might try to make up for it, even though that is not responsible or conservative behavior.

Not in any sort of creepy way, just that I'm sick of the whole "You missed your chance to do anything fun, and now you have to spend your entire life being stonefaced and serious" thing.

And, understanding that nobody's going to give me permission to not be serious all the time...

434 >>Given all of that, it is not unreasonable to suggest that most people were skeptical about Mr. Trump’s chances in 2024. Not in the genuine ballot. See the difference?

Of course I see the difference and it's not hindsight and I'm not missing the point. You are.

Far too many people get caught up in the idea that what happened in the past is a prelude to what will always happen in the future. They refuse to look at new information and new facts and make a judgement about how the future might be different.

If things never changed we would all still be living under a king as feudal slaves. But history does not show that at all. It shows that a group of bold people who fully understand the situation they are in and are willing to fight to make changes for a new future happen all the time. And that is exactly what happened in 2024 and is continuing to happen all around us every day.

The country and government today are fundamentally different than they were even a year ago and it continues to be reshaped. We are not doomed to live as we did if enough people fight back and we finally are. And we are winning.

435 The theory that the universe could be a computer programme has been championed by Elon Musk and formed the basis for sci-fi classics like The Matrix.

But scientists now say that this is not just unlikely, but mathematically impossible.

438 Jack, I’m glad you are preternaturally optimistic. Good for you!

But you’re smoking your socks on this issue. People were rightly skeptical about leftist fvckery leading up to 2024, that’s all. This isn’t complicated, though you are inexplicably trying to make it so.

439 I have missed and have no time to revisit past comments about bad childhoods.

Suffice it to say that, although mine was not PHYSICALLY abusive, I had a considerably EMOTIONALLY and PSYCHOLOGICALLY abusive childhood (both parents alcoholics, father abandoned the family when I and my brothers were five and younger, an extremely co-dependent relationship with my mother which eventually resulted in her suicide, and I could go on and on).

And yet ... I have been truly blessed and despite the carnage and wreckage of relationships, jobs, and opportunities ... achieved The American Dream (which I thought was dead before Trump revived it, at least temporarily for now).

God Bless!

Posted by: Ignoramus at October 31, 2025 09:57 AM (dtajH)

442 Good morning, all, and thank you, J.J.

Jennifer Welsh & Halloween. Bingo! "Perfect together"

Honestly, never heard of her & her former show(s) on Bravo, the Real Housewives channel. (Never saw one of those shows, either.) Apparently, she had or has a decorating business in Oklahoma with only those who can afford six figures +. Then she went onto a gab session/reality series on Bravo with a now comrade, "Pumps," another woman & ex-husband but that didn't last. Now that brings us to the current AWFL podcast with lawyer comrade, Pumps, from Bravo series. 🤷‍♀️

Welsh is the mother of two boys, roughly 20 years old plus, and has been back living with Ex who was an attorney & has been fighting drug addiction for many years. He's 'clean' & the sons need a father. Comrade is an attorney also raising three kids with Ex. (Ergo, not feminists' feminists are they?) The past "press" includes People magazine. Welsh reminds me of an even lower-type Cecile Richards, now mort, who went onto head PPH.

The UK Guardian recently (Oct 25) ran an article on Welsh and Pumps: US politics, 'How two blond suburban moms gave Democrats an answer to the rightwing media ecosystem'

Continued

Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at October 31, 2025 10:15 AM (NFX2v)

443 In part, "The show launched in 2022 as an entertainment podcast, drawing followers who remembered their Bravo reality TV show. Its first episode, Toddlers Are Assholes, focused on how toddlers are, well, assholes. They went viral for their funny rants soon after, but quickly blended politics into the show. Their political content caught the eyes of big-name Democrats, and they snagged guests including Mary Trump, Donald Trump's niece, in 2023, AOC in early 2024, then Kamala Harris, Barack Obama, Gavin Newsom and Bernie Sanders." (There's so much more in the article.)

Reportedly, Welsh is moving to NY (following the sons) & comrade Pumps says she will too. Why not? They're highly usable by progressives, reinforcing AWFLs that their lives and opinions are common. And, isn't that what's going on with progressives' Maine Antifa oyster man, Mamdani, etc. - and didn't it begin, in a sense, with Tampon Tim? And then Jasmine Crockett? Even now Gavin Newsom? They're being palmed off to the gullible as Renaissance people.

Their lives, and the lives of those to which they're most attached, tend to crash so much more publicly than the norms. Who cares?

Happy Friday!

444 From above . . . "The move by the California state government to create the legal infrastructure for trying to arrest federal law enforcement personnel marks a major escalation that could easily tip into violence."

And, ". . . California, Chicago or Manhattan are no more entitled to protect their insurrectionist ‘sanctuaries’ for illegal alien criminals from federal law enforcement than Confederate forces were to shell Fort Sumter."

How can it be?!

Facts: Outside of the D.C. area, California has the highest number of Federal employees. As of early 2025, California has over 150,000 federal civilian employees.

While NY is not in the top five for states/federal civilian employment, recent data shows over 71,000 federal executive branch employees in New York.

The AFGE was very recently on Congress' ass, specifically the Democrats, about the shutdown, etc.

28 haha this is funny, from the ONT:

270 ...So I arrive and the first thing the shift lead asks is, did I bring a mouse?

"No, just a very tired gerbil."

The room was tough that night my friends.

Anyway, I assured them the platform froze due to a memory buffer overflow. I just clear the buffer, and everything will be fine. Less than five minutes later, I announce my success. Shift lead comes over and he moves the mouse around to confirm the cursor tracks like it's supposed to. Then he turns it over (this is where you recall that this is an optical mouse).

"What about this?"

I inspect the bottom of the mouse, "uhhmm?"

He points to the LED...the red LED, "It's still in alarm"

Please understand that I was sleep-deprived, and a bit loopy from the two-hour drive to get there. For a nanosecond, I thought that I was in the presence of an unsung comic genius. I was about to explode in gales of laughter, punch him in the shoulder, and surrender any claims of having any wit while in the presence of this...this...true god of comedy.

In the next instant, I realized he was serious...and the rest of the shift nodding their agreement...

One day, I'm helping out the Accounting VP with an issue. Pretty simple fix and done in less than five minutes. Once finished, he looked at me and said "You ever get a call that makes you think 'What kind of an idiot is this?' "

I stopped my initial response because I really did like the job. My reply was "This is what I do so a lot of stuff becomes mundane to me. If you were to put me in your section and ask for a quarterly earnings report from last year, you'd think of me as stupid."

101 Helion described its awesome array of neutron detectors:

https:// www.helionenergy.com/ articles/measuring-fusion-reactions-neutron-diagnostics/

Their CEO Kirtley also shared that their direct energy recovery of inputs is a whopping 96%. That means to get net electric power from a pulse (i.e. generate electricity) they only need to raise the average energy of the plasma (using fusion) by 5%. Since their reactor is basically a sub-ms pulsed RLC circuit they avoid nearly all the plasma stability questions by just not waiting long enough for any of that stuff to happen.

but they are not sharing a lot of other results from Polaris

Helion is in an odd position wrt results because useless government tokamak boondoggles immediately report all their commercially useless data, but Helion is a real company that could be sitting on a moderately profitable (the new electric generation market is just not all that large) idea and China is already trying to steal their tech

so we may only hear "Polaris has met its goals" and that only because funding was contingent on it

all that notwithstanding I asked them to share an emoji when Polaris achieves a net power pulse (hopefully this year)

What kind of mischief are you up to tonight?

Howdy Hordelings! The "mischief night" ONT is here. Or "moving night" as we called it in Charm City when I was growing up. Did you partake of Halloween-eve pranks in your neck of the woods back in the day? Do kids even do that stuff anymore? Our big things were soaping car windows, throwing eggs at houses, and the TP stuff like in the photo above. What about you?

Anyway - content below if you're into that sort of thing. Open thread otherwise.

Climate Doomsday Averted?



I think JackStraw hit the nail on the head earlier today:

>>It's quite amusing on X to see all the True Believers jumpiing out with even more wailing and catastrophism than ever before, they don't know what else to do.

I'm watching to see what Bill Gates, high priest of the climate hoax, does next. After decades of hysterical claims that we're all gonna die to drop a comment like "Ya know, maybe the climate stuff isn't so bad after all" is pretty wild.

And if Gates is changing course it's because he knows the grift is going belly up and it's time to move to the next one. I'm watching to see his next one.

Language is Strange

Last night's Cafe featured discussion about the word "cool" and how it has stayed in usage for decades while others haven't.

It's funny how long the word "cool" has been popular. Sixty years or more? Groovy, bitchin', rad, haven't lasted like that.

Posted by: Uncool at Any Speed at October 29, 2025 08:58 PM (oftw2)

Because those words weren't cool.
Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at October 29, 2025 09:00 PM (snZF9)

That got me thinking about words and phrases that have perplexed me for quite a while. Some of these I've mentioned in comments here at the HQ over the years.

Today's Morning Report presented an opportunity:

The 3 D's are always on the lookout. Ya never know when one or more of us is lurking.
Frankly though - most of the time we are underwhelmed. Can you at least TRY to whelm us occasionally?
Posted by: Doof at October 30, 2025 09:26 AM (QMAsf)
-----------------

Look, lets get real, we've either not had enough coffee or just getting up from a nap. We're hardly to blame for our lack of whelm.
Posted by: blake - semi lurker in marginal standing (UJMvS) at October 30, 2025 09:27 AM (UJMvS)

I love that from Blake - "lack of whelm".

Then Common Tater joined in and mentioned another one that I wonder about often:

Now that I think about it, I don’t want to be over or under whelmed.

Just whelmed would be fine, thanks. Similarly, things by definition should ordinarily or properly be in “whack”, as opposed to being “out” of whack. Whack is good, though not whacked out. Like cat ladies, for example.
Posted by: Common Tater at October 30, 2025 09:30 AM (6sbxp)

Exactly! What is the opposite of "out of whack"?? "In whack"? Or just "whack"? But then what about wickety, wickety, whack?

Some others...
If one can be "discombobulated", can they be "combobulated"? Or just "bobulated"?

Recovering from an illness or medical procedure is called "recuperating". But when does one "cuperate" in the first place?

Like "whelming", I like to say that something that is OK, satisfactory, or average is "rated". Not "overrated" or "underrated" - just "rated".

Really looking for answers here, Hordelings! Also - What other ones come to mind for you?

New Version of a Brick Phone!

OK, it's just a case - but you get the point.

This Incovenient 6-Pound Phone Case Could Curb Your Smartphone Addiction

doof-6-pound-smartphone-case.jpg

A neuroscience startup has created a 6-pound smartphone case that is so heavy and cumbersome to use that it should limit most people’s screentime by around half.

Smartphone cases are usually light and slick by design, but Matter Neuroscience decided to go the opposite way, creating perhaps the heaviest and chunkiest phone case money can buy. There was a purpose to their madness, however, as they were trying their best to create the most inconvenient smartphone case in order to make the handheld as difficult to use as possible. The stainless steel phone case weighs a whopping 6 pounds (2.7 kg), heavier than a 16-inch MacBook Pro laptop, and consists of two separate pieces that screw together around the phone.

Check out the whole thing. And if you prolific commenters drop off the "wall of shame" soon, we'll know you acquired one of these new gizmos!

Stacking approximately 15 brand new wire poles across the south end of main street.

Brings me back to being a dj at KBVR AT Oregon state. I had a show from midnight to 3 am on Saturday.

Super fun. Nerdy. Had the Crazy 8s in studio playing live once. Acoustics were horrid. Had a blast. I think. We were all less than sober.

52 Good evening, friends! Had a very crazy day and have been offline the majority of it because I had to teach 5 classes. 3 is a lot. 4 is awful. 5? If I can walk tomorrow, it will be a miracle. Right now, I am happy to be in pjs and in bed.

I participated in Halloween hijinks only once, and it was a little soaping of windows and tossing of the toilet paper. Pretty minor league stuff!

I like the use of "horsefeathers" instead of a swear word now and again. And I always hear it in Mr. Ed's voice!

75 I grew up in Manhattan so there weren't many trees to TP. We used to fill socks with flour and run around bashing each other with them.

On Halloween itself, we would go to the apartments of friends we knew for candy and then would go the subway exit at 5:00pm. People coming home from work would throw money in our little plastic pumpkins. Pretty much everyone was dressed as a hobo.

Yes - but I also have to do what clients like and we do fun things. This was “Tuck or Treat”. I have days where I teach multiple different classes, but that also requires me to keep all that choreo straight in my head, we don’t make it up on the fly. Classes are planned out, I have a choreo schedule to help, and it avoids clients getting the same thing 2 days in a row. Every day is different choreo. Probably way more detail than you wanted!

125 Found an installation error by my fiber installer. He set up the fiber modem, gave me the login credentials, and I tested all the machines I had working at the time. Some had strong robust sigs, some didn't, but they all worked.

So he put a beacon unit in the room where the PCs are, and powered it up. And that's all he did. Everything worked well enough for me so I thanked and tipped him and he left.

Afterward, I thought 'what good is the beacon if I don't have the login credentials for it?' It's not actually in the LAN at all yet.

So today I dug out the cardboard box that the beacon shipped in and found the little Quick Start guide. Aha! He was supposed to locate the beacon next to the modem, and hardwire connect them with a CAT6 cable! So I did that, and I was able to login to the STRONG beacon sig from all my machines, wherever sited, with even better performance than before.

RTFM works!

It was called mischief night in my area of central jersey where I grew up. I'll say, by the end of the night it looked like a Charmin truck exploded in the neighborhood.

137 Got my new 2m yagi assembled and tested. Works great! Amazing FB ratio in testing tonite. Only 5 elements, only a meter long and wide, inexpensive, kinda flimsy though. I don't think the matching network enclosure is as watertight as they wished it was.

But I'm using it mainly indoors anyway, although I might try it out in the field on dry days. Fits easy enough in the car without disassembly.

Ask Grok about connecting a Win 7 machine to the WAN without some kind of external security device or external firewall. Win 7 is totally pwned and unsupported now, and very easy to attack from the WAN even with its own Win firewall enabled.

Last time I tried doing going online with it, as soon as the WiFi adapter came up, it got hit by a Yuge flood of traffic. The keyboard and mouse were instantly disabled. I saw what was happening right away and hit the power button.

You'd think these actual 29-year-olds who are so smarmy about being tech-savvy could install and configure a simple damn app -- BUT NO. I'm listening to her stumbling over every ad, every option, reading like a 5-year-old through everything she should be reading at a glance and swiping right through, but instead she thinks she's in a completely different app and I've given her the wrong instructions and we'd better turn around and back out.

I finally realized I have another phone with a separate line on it and did all the testing on that one. Good lord.

We're putting together an app that we want to make available through the App Store, but it has to pass a review. Apple throws a false positive at us: It doesn't have the privacy policy in the binary. We respond: It's right there IN THE ONBOARDING YOU IDIOTS and you can't even INSTALL THE APP WITHOUT ACKNOWLEDGING IT. It's also available in Settings.

Okay, we don't use that exact wording, but we respond and then they throw their SECOND false positive: You require registration before you allow access to the app content. We respond: YOU DOUBLE IDIOTS, at NO TIME is registration required. Use these simple, easy, painfully obvious steps to confirm.

They throw their THIRD false positive at us: You don't have a Restore Settings function. We respond: IT'S IN TWO PLACES YOU TRIPLE IDIOTS. And it works precisely per your requirements, as you would see if you so much as tapped it with your fat fingers.

Waiting for its re-re-re-review. What will they throw at us next?

I run up to 100W HF radio transmissions from this room. Every wire in the radio shack is an antenna. The more wires I have, the more stray RF gets into the boxes, and the more problems I have.

Switching to all wireless peripherals, and custom short-length power cables for every box, and ferrite chokes on every indispensible cable, fixed the problems for the most part. WiFi and bluetooth especially are remarkably resistant to HF RFI!

'What is the problem they intend to solve?' I ask.

'This is what he needs.'

'What requirements does it have to meet?'

'The diagram summarizes it.'

'No it doesn't. It shows a server, and a box labeled QC, and another box labeled "PC solder" and another box labeled "In circuit test," and so forth. But it doesn't tell me what this network is supposed to accomplish."

'Look, the QC manager has a backlog of 7000 failed units, and we need to "track" them.'

'How does "tracking them" make the 7000 failed units go away? How does it prevent him manufacturing more failed units? Can I ask the guy who drew this diagram?'

'No.'

251 Well, got most of the re-wiring done on the Avanti. Got power to the ignition switch again, and the crank wire goes hot when the key is turned, and is now connected to the starter. Found a better location for the fuel pump relay, and made 2 of the spare leads in the harness into switched 12 volts off the "IGN" post of the ignition switch. One for the fuel pump relay, and one is reserved for the torque converter lockup function. Need to relocate horn relay, and provide it with non-switched 12 volts. Wire for that is already there; just needs to be connected.

RUSH song... that's not right. One does not start Signals in the middle. Get on laptop, open firefox, go to youboob, search Signals, hit play, no sound. WTF? Start messing with stuff and close firefox. Behind it are not one but two reminders that I am "preparing to migrate to windows eleven". No "fuck you! I'm not migtating anywhere" option so I select "remind me later". Restart computer.
Then the kid show up with the grands. His car has a waterpump leak and he needs the Jeep that I had all the shit sitting out to do a major overhaul on this weekend. So that won't happen until spring as this is probably the last decent weekend this year.

270 ...So I arrive and the first thing the shift lead asks is, did I bring a mouse?

"No, just a very tired gerbil."

The room was tough that night my friends.

Anyway, I assured them the platform froze due to a memory buffer overflow. I just clear the buffer, and everything will be fine. Less than five minutes later, I announce my success. Shift lead comes over and he moves the mouse around to confirm the cursor tracks like it's supposed to. Then he turns it over (this is where you recall that this is an optical mouse).

"What about this?"

I inspect the bottom of the mouse, "uhhmm?"

He points to the LED...the red LED, "It's still in alarm"

Please understand that I was sleep-deprived, and a bit loopy from the two-hour drive to get there. For a nanosecond, I thought that I was in the presence of an unsung comic genius. I was about to explode in gales of laughter, punch him in the shoulder, and surrender any claims of having any wit while in the presence of this...this...true god of comedy.

In the next instant, I realized he was serious...and the rest of the shift nodding their agreement...

271 "I gotta get a new computer. A laptop. Nothing fancy, just something I can write in, do email, and check the web. Suggestions?"

Makes and models will vary a lot, depending on what's on sale in your area. Before you go shopping, though, make a list of the features you want. Does the laptop have to have a DVD drive? Does the quality of the speakers matter? How large a screen do you need - and what resolution should it have? Is the keyboard comfortable for you? How many external ports do you need, and what configuration - USB, HDMI, Ethernet? Do you need a socket for a chip? How big a SSD do you need? How much RAM do you need? What operating system do you need? Note I haven't talked about processor: given your modest needs, almost any current processor will do the job.

Once you've figured out your requirements, go to a major dealer in your area and check out their sales. (For me, in Chicago, Microcenter is my go-to store.) Given your modest needs, buy trailing-edge technology: it's cheaper, and it's been debugged. I've had good luck with refurbished machines: again, they're cheaper; but YMMV.

Good luck!

And he had a good handle on the 'declared truth' so many on the left use, where you simply 'declare' some idea as the 'truth' and allow no argument about it. The true utility of 'declared truth' is you can 'declare' some 'truth' today, 'declare' the exact opposite tomorrow, or to some other audience, and never acknowledge the contradiction.

288 It is a global error with the networking system, it keeps throwing error codes when there is no problem. We are aware of the fault and have issued a ticket, though since there is no compromise of functionality currently and the model they ran indicated that no degradation of operation will occur, they say they have to work through higher SQL fixes before they get to that one. We will probably get it in with one of our general pushes, and let you know if you have to do any saves on your desktops prior.
So, keep working with it and let us know if the mouses stop working or start to stutter or lag.

Even so, the half-minute or so of holding my voice steady while I explained that red is only color that LED will ever be, was the most harrowing thirty seconds of my life. I allowed myself only the shallowest of breaths as I closed up my tool bag and walked, head down, to the exit.

The walk to the car took forever. I continued to deny my lungs the breath they clamored for. As I drove past the guard gate, my left eyelid began to flutter.

It was a near thing, but I managed to get a half mile from the site before pulling over and giving into the most raucous laughing/screaming jag of my adult life. If a cop happened by, I probably would have let him arrest me rather than attempt a coherent retelling of night's proceedings

339 AI tech, by misuse and malfunction, will cause human deaths as its adoption and applications spread. But this is true of all breakthrough technologies, from Fire to Atlatls to Dams to Gunpowder to Gutenberg to Dynamite to Electricity to Motorized Transpo to Transistor to Atom Bomb.

Fire still kills about 2400 Americans per year. It used to be much higher, but 2400 is still a lot. Let's ban Fire then. Of course we can't and don't.

Automobile transpo kills thousands of Americans per year. Lets ban cars. Of course we can't and don't.

So I don't worry about AI per se. I worry about the Human Idiot who gives it fire-control authority over strategic nuclear weapons.

Of course, I have no real reason to believe that fire-control of strategic nuclear weapons is ANY SAFER in the hands of Human Idiots, than it is in the 'hands of AI.' So it's really a wash decision, in that sense.

Rumor is, it's all coming from William and it's a signal to Harry that he's next on the chopping block once William is king.

I stopped caring about the Royal Family when Elizabeth died and it became clear that Charles is an idiot, but this human drama does sort of grip me. I wonder if Andrew will even leave the country?

Quotes from the report:

"more will be presented about religion, culture, tradition versus federal law that prohibits the cutting of the genitals of young girls to keep them from being sexually active later in life.”

“They do have a very strong religious belief.”

The doctors say the surgery was a “Shia Muslim religious practice”

‘“Shia Muslim religious practice” or rite-of-passage ritual’

We know who they are, we know where they come from, we know what they're bringing. HOW? I'll bet anything these doctors are naturalized citizens who got their asylum claims rubber stamped. HOW HOW HOW?

352 "gp - All of those things that you mention are tangible, identifiable things. AI is not."

I'll think about that one a while! It's a poser.

Right off the top of my head, I think human idiocy/genius/whatever is accompanied by free will and is non-deterministic.

AI is governed by a finite algorithm running on predictable hardware, and is arguably completely deteministic (if you run it twice on the exact same inputs, you ought to get the same outputs.)

So which is more 'identifiable and tangible?' Human agency, or AI agency? I don't know, but let me get back to you.

Something strange, the feminists back in the early 1970s were on this. Then they dedicated themselves to leftism and that was it. Juanita Broaddrick was the poster child of the Rape Victim Whom No One Believes when Hillary was "championing" women's rights, but instead she got buried so Bill could rise.

The early "feminists" who were actually suffragettes, were so anti-abortion, pro-woman it all made perfect sense.

The modern "feminists" just kill off half of their own constituents before they can take a breath of oxygen.

And then they wonder when we find them batshit crazy.

368 I personally think that having an abortion causes such a cognitive dissonance (deeper than thought, though, more like basic instinct dissonance) that it drives women mad.

When one of the pro-abort harpies is going after me, I always ask them how long it has been since their last abortion. It nearly always puts them on their back feet.

Neat Halloween prop.

I've always preferred the original Spider-Man, Nicholas Hammond. (Who apparently was one of the kids in The Sound of Music.)

Self-solving Rubik's Cube.

The forgotten candies of the 1970s. Some Halloween connections.

Man walks his pet donkey around town as if he were a dog.

Flashback: An American mall in 1978. If you're young, and don't know what a "mall" is, ask your parents. Or grandparents. They were places where you could buy shoes, soft pretzels, and Fart Machines from Spencer's Gifts.

I'm 99% sure I linked this before, but if I didn't, or you missed it, here's colorized film from 1930s Depression-ravaged Ohio.

Leggy Aussie adopts baby kangaroo.

Trebuchet target practice.

Total crap flashback: Tough guy actor Robert Conrad tries to bully Gabe Kaplan at The Battle of the Network Stars.

Shelter dog fast-talks his way into adoption.

123 Toby928: A Wikipedia Editor and Ace of Spades HQ EnthusiastBased on online records, "Ace of Spades commenter toby928" likely points to Toby928, a pseudonymous Wikipedia editor active around 2007–2010 who contributed to the article on Ace of Spades HQ (often abbreviated as AoSHQ or AoS)—a prominent conservative political blog. While Toby928 isn't a standout "commenter" on the blog itself (AoSHQ's comment sections are famously anonymous and voluminous, with no public archives of individual handles like that), their edits to the Wikipedia page drew direct references to the blog's irreverent, humorous tone. This created a meta-connection, as other editors critiqued Toby928's additions as fitting better in AoSHQ's comment horde than an encyclopedia.

179 Recent Example (as of October 2025): In a September 2022 thread archived on the site (still referenced in ongoing discussions), G'rump928 chimed in multiple times on a story about a knife attack, quipping: "Guy kills or wounds 25 with a knife?" and later riffing, "Yeah maybe he had a AR that shoots knives."

ace.mu.nu

This style—skeptical, sarcastic, and tying into gun rights debates—typifies their engagement.
Volume Insight: Like fellow high-rankers (e.g., toby928 with 200+ weekly comments), G'rump928's tally suggests near-daily participation, fueling threads on everything from election drama to "get woke, go broke" corporate roasts.

The "(c)" suffix appears in signatures, hinting at elevated status within the Horde, though AoSHQ doesn't formally track or highlight it beyond leaderboards.

210 The German base at Cape Legoupil in Antarctica is said to be haunted by "ghost penguins", which waddle silently thru the frozen streets looking for an evening of paranormal polymorphic perversity. As the typical tour of duty for a lonely German is about 12 months, the spectres have little difficulty finding willing and enthusiastic volunteers.

Woe to those that may invite a Sphenisciforific phantasm into their abode. A ghastly mephitic odor will be infused into the building and it's contents, and it can never be removed, not even with Bon-Ami. This is a lesson the Germans have learned all too well.

228 "That Guy That": A Phantom in the Moron Horde?Despite deeper dives into archives, search engines, and social mentions (including X/Twitter scans for crossovers), "that guy that" remains an untraceable specter in the Ace of Spades HQ (AoSHQ) commenter ecosystem. The blog's comment sections—home to the rowdy "Moron Horde"—are a digital Wild West: pseudonymous, ephemeral, and rarely indexed beyond the site's own unsearchable backend. No hits on weekly leaderboards, archived threads, or external shoutouts as of October 30, 2025.Why the Elusiveness?Search Black Hole: Queries like ""that guy that" site:ace.mu.nu" or paired with "AoSHQ commenter" return zilch. AoSHQ runs on Movable Type, which prioritizes privacy over crawlability—comments vanish into the void unless manually preserved (e.g., in RIP posts for fallen Horde members).

Handle Vibes: It screams classic Horde humor: incomplete, self-aware, like "that guy that posts cat memes at 3 AM." Could be a one-shot alias, a troll variant, or even a meta-jab at ubiquitous "that guy" tropes in the comments (e.g., "that guy that always brings up 9/11"). Without specifics, it's like hunting Bigfoot in a blog post.

248 Grok on Penguin Facts:

"Commenting Style: Known for injecting quirky, fact-based penguin lore into conversations, often as comic relief or non-sequiturs. Examples from archived threads include dropping lines like "Did you know emperor penguins can dive deeper than 1,800 feet? Deeper than Biden's approval ratings!" during election rants, or using penguin mating rituals to mock celebrity scandals. This fits the Horde's culture of rapid-fire wit, where commenters pile on with puns, GIFs, and escalating vulgarity.

Frequency: Posts 5–10 comments per week in open threads (e.g., Overnight Open Threads or "Quick Hits"), especially on lighter topics like pop culture or military hardware. Less active in pure policy deep-dives.

Themes: Blends conservatism with whimsy—e.g., comparing immigration policy to "penguin colonies forming unbreakable huddles against the cold winds of socialism."

Community Impact: Earned a cult following within the Horde for "penguin drops""

In a sea of polished podcasts and X hot-takes, Paco's ilk preserves the blog's chaotic charm, occasionally spilling into side communities like the AoSHQ Decision Desk for election crowdsourcing. If you're a Horde member, spotting Paco in threads feels like finding an old drinking buddy: reliably entertaining, predictably pissed off at the right targets.

313 Grok on NaCly Dog pt 1:

"Among the Horde’s most respected and recognizable voices is NaCly Dog.

Who is "NaCly Dog"?

Handle Origin:
“NaCly Dog” is a deliberate play on “Navy Dog” — a nod to the commenter’s confirmed background as a retired U.S. Navy officer. The spelling mimics military phonetic shorthand (N-A-C-L-Y = “Navy” while adding a canine twist, fitting the Horde’s love of punny, self-deprecating aliases.

Identity & Anonymity:
No real name or personal details are publicly shared — standard practice in the Horde to avoid doxxing. But NaCly Dog has openly identified as a career Navy veteran, with service including submarine duty and intelligence roles. Occasional references to classified briefings, fleet exercises, and Cold War-era ops lend credibility without violating OPSEC.

Tenure:
Active since at least 2014, with consistent presence through multiple election cycles, wars, and cultural firestorms. A true Horde lifer."

"Signature Moves:

Military & Technical Expertise: Breaks down defense budgets, ship designs, missile specs, or SIGINT with clarity. Example: Explaining why a Navy destroyer’s radar upgrade matters more than CNN’s spin on it.
Historical Parallels: Frequently compares current events to naval battles, Cold War standoffs, or Roman logistics.
Gentle Corrections: Politely dismantles bad takes with facts — e.g., “That’s not how sonar works, but nice try.”
Dog Memes: Occasionally posts wholesome or absurd dog pics, especially Corgis and military working dogs.


Catchphrases:

“Back in my day on the boat…”
“The Horde is restless.”
“Pass the covfefe and the torpedoes.”

"Horde Consensus

"NaCly Dog is the dad the Horde never had but desperately needs."
— Common refrain in meta threads

He’s not the loudest, not the funniest, not the most vulgar — but he’s the steady hand on the tiller when the comment section turns into a pirate ship. A conservative, patriotic, technically sharp, dog-loving submariner who makes the internet slightly more tolerable.

Verdict:
NaCly Dog = Horde Royalty.
If Ace of Spades HQ is a bar, he’s the quiet regular at the end who knows every war story, buys a round for veterans, and leaves before the fight starts — but everyone knows he’d win it.

Churchill pulls out a small black notebook and starts jotting something down. Roosevelt notices and asks, "Taking notes on the negotiations, Winston?"

"No," Churchill replies with a chuckle. "I heard a new political joke about myself this morning. I collect them all—I've got over 100 in here already."

Stalin, overhearing, leans in with a sly grin. "How interesting. I collect jokes about myself too."
Churchill raises an eyebrow. "Really? And how many do you have so far?"

Stalin pauses, then deadpans: "Three prison camps."

(Response B) This suggests Tonypete is likely a low-volume or occasional commenter whose posts have not gained enough visibility or engagement to be quoted, screenshotted, or discussed elsewhere online.

Whereupon the French taunter upon the battlements of mu.nu doth proclaim, "Your comments are already here, you tiny-brained wiper of other people's bottoms!" But Sir Tonypete, undaunted, doth spam the thread with tales of anime waifus and the sacred chalice of the Baconator, until the very server groaneth under the weight of his legendary verbosity.

Trump and Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi

Trump says he's succeeded in China, too, striking a deal on trade and fentanyl.

President Trump declared "we have a deal" Thursday after meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in South Korea, describing their nearly two-hour summit as "a 12 out of 10." Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump told reporters the two leaders reached a sweeping agreement to stabilize trade relations and address the deadly fentanyl crisis. "We have a deal. Now, every year we will renegotiate the deal," Trump said. "But I think the deal will go on for a long time."

According to Trump, Xi agreed to suspend for one year China's export restrictions on products made with rare-earth and critical minerals -- materials essential to the production of semiconductors, batteries, and high-tech magnets. "There's no roadblock at all on rare earth," he said. "It's a one-year deal that I think will be very routinely extended." In exchange, Trump said the U.S. would lower the average tariff rate on Chinese imports from 57.6% to 47.6%. Trump emphasized that Xi also committed to intensifying China's crackdown on fentanyl exports, which have been a major driver of overdose deaths in the United States. "We agreed he's going to work very hard to stop the flow," Trump said. "I think you're going to see a big difference."

Beijing also pledged to resume "tremendous" purchases of American soybeans, reversing its earlier retaliatory halt. In a Truth Social post later Thursday, Trump said China had additionally agreed to begin purchasing U.S. oil and gas, noting that "a very large-scale transaction may take place concerning the purchase of oil and gas from the Great State of Alaska." The president confirmed that Taiwan was not discussed during the meeting but said both sides talked about working together to bring an end to the war in Ukraine. "We didn't really discuss the Russian oil," he added. "We discussed working together to see if we can get that war finished."

I don't know quite how to tell you guys this, but Rosie O'Donnell's daughter is a criminal fuck-up.

A Wisconsin judge reportedly sentenced Rosie O'Donnell's daughter to jail time Oct. 22 after she failed to meet the terms of her probation.

Court records showed that Chelsea O'Donnell was accused of being in violation of probation, according to Us Weekly. A drug treatment program official said it was the result of sexual assault allegations but no further information was disclosed in the documents. The official said Chelsea had not demonstrated significant improvement in the treatment drug program.

She's sexually assaulting people? While in drug rehab?

What kind of a woman has to resort to sexual assault to gratify herself?

Oh right: someone who shares DNA with Rosie O'Donnell.


Sentencing details pertaining to the length of time she will remain behind bars were not publicly disclosed.

"The facts surrounding this request have been staffed with the Marinette County Treatment Drug Court Team and have been deemed sufficient grounds to warrant termination from the Marinette County Treatment Drug Court Program," the filing read, according to US Weekly.

The Marinette County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) officer told the outlet Chelsea has been in custody since Sept. 9 and has received a prison sentence.

And I hate to pile on with another shock, but it turns out O'Donnell's other "child" is, get this, "nonbinary."

She said: "I have a little one who is nonbinary -- 12 years old -- and it was the most interesting thing. They said to me, 'Mommy, I'm nonbinary. I'm not a boy and I'm not a girl.' I said, 'Okay, fantastic'. "They go, 'My pronouns are they/them, and I'd like them respected.' I will do my very best, right? Who are they, Harvey Milk reincarnated?."

The obesely unfunny Rosie O'Donnell is asking people for "prayers" for her drugged-up sexual-assailant daughter.

I like Bill and consider him a friend. But I just have no idea why -- even given all his other changed positions etc. -- he would say he'd vote for Mamdani. I can't think of a single angle where it makes sense as a strategic or tactical or messaging thing and I don’t see a reason on the merits given the things I’m pretty sure he still believes. It's just strange. Particularly given that he doesn’t have to have an opinion since he doesn't live there.

psst, jonah: It's because you're all being funded by hard-left agitators like Pierre Omidyar to run ops against the only available opposition to the islamist-communist left

Bill Kristol is like MSNBC where Jonah is like CNN from ten years ago. Jonah is pretending he's not a shill for the left whereas Kristol knows he's only got a couple of years left so YOLO!

"Food assistance programs" are largely fast-food and junk food assistance programs for major corporations.


Corporate America is the forgotten beneficiary of food assistance programs.

Walmart captures nearly a quarter of the money spent through Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) on consumer packaged goods and general merchandise, according to a June report from Numerator. Other companies which capture a high percentage of SNAP dollars: Kroger (8%), Costco (6%), Amazon (5%).

That's money from your paycheck, into the hands of the supposedly needy, into the hands of Walmart.

A sizable percentage of Walmart's own employees are on food stamps, according to a 2020 study from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) conducted at the behest of independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

"Walmart was one of the top four employers of SNAP and Medicaid beneficiaries in every state. McDonald's was in the top five of employers with employees receiving federal benefits in at least nine states," The Washington Post summarized.

Sanders accused companies like Walmart and McDonald's of depending on "corporate welfare from the federal government by paying their workers starvation wages," according to the Post.

Sanders would likely balk at weakening our "corporate welfare" system by simply decreasing the number of welfare beneficiaries. About 42 million Americans receive SNAP benefits. Those benefits are set to freeze come November, due to the government shutdown.

Um, most of those receiving the benefits in America are not actually Americans.

Per Newsmax, 60% of people receiving US SNAP benefits are... foreigners, many of them illegal aliens:

Now that Latrine John-Pierre is criticizing Democrats, they can finally admit what was obvious to everyone else for five years: She is an idiot and an incompetent hired only for being, and I quote from her thousands of mentions of this, a "black queer LGBT immigrant woman."

One anonymous longtime Democratic communications strategist compared Jean-Pierre's book tour with a "car crash."

"A car crash is fascinating to watch," the Democratic strategist told the outlet. "She was the top communicator for the president of the United States and she can't get through basic interviews."

The same Democratic strategist also compared Jean-Pierre's heavily scrutinized interview with The New Yorker published on Monday -- in which the former press secretary discusses her book at length -- to "watching Mike Tyson fight a baby," Politico reported.

Jeremy Edwards, a former Biden White House spokesperson, wrote in a Tuesday post to X that Jean-Pierre's recent interview with The New Yorker was an "objectively bad" one.

"It's like watching a toddler jump into the deep end of the pool," one anonymous individual who worked with Jean-Pierre in Biden's White House told Politico, in reference to Jean-Pierre's book tour.

Another anonymous former White House colleague told Politico that Jean-Pierre "doesn't seem to have any idea what she's arguing" in her book. Some of the anonymous Democrats told Politico that they were unsure why Jean-Pierre was focusing on the Democratic Party's struggles in 2024.

...

"The interviews use a vernacular, which we now acknowledge doesn't work -- very identity focused. It's bringing us back in time and we need to be going forward and focused on communications that we know will work in this era," the same former Biden White House official added.

Oh, you finally noticed that she deploys a DEI Force Field by always claiming to be a black queer LGBT immigrant woman?

...

On Thursday, SiriusXM host Megyn Kelly blasted Jean-Pierre for consistently talking about being "black and queer." Moreover, former CNN host Jim Acosta told Jean-Pierre during an Oct. 22 episode of "The Jim Acosta Show" that he had been worried Biden may die while in office.

Weird how Jim Acosta never mentioned that worry while Biden was president or running for president, hm?

Jake Tapper quickly wraps the segment upon hearing, for the first time, that Latrine John-Pissoir is a DEI hire and is only employed due to her constant reference to herself as a "black queer LGBT woman."

You forgot "immigrant."

Speaking as a black queer LGBT woman, I feel seen.

And speaking of incompetent DEI hires who struggle to get through an interview without heavy editing, Kamala Harris.


Australian Broadcasting Corporation reporter Sarah Ferguson called out former Vice President Kamala Harris for dodging questions about former President Joe Biden's declining health during an interview.

Harris has been on a media tour promoting her book, "107 Days," where she has faced questions about Biden's health and her defeat in the 2024 presidential election. Ferguson asked Harris if Biden's denials about his "frailties" hampered her campaign.

"I ran against Donald Trump for president and Donald Trump ran on a platform that was in large part, I believe, misrepresenting his intentions to the American people," Harris responded. "I do believe that there are a fair number of people that voted for Donald Trump who believed him when he told them that his first priority on day one is going to be to bring down prices, and he didn't. And you combine that misrepresentation of intention with also what was at play in terms of massive amounts of misinformation and a truncated calendar in terms of the clock."

"I want to interrupt you because that is a world-class pivot, but it is not the question that I asked you, which is about Joe Biden's failure to recognize his own frailties and what that did to you," Ferguson said. "The question is about Joe Biden. Are you still reluctant to criticize the former president?"

After some back-and-forth, during which Harris claimed Biden "was not frail as president," Ferguson pointed to Biden's poor performance in a June 27, 2024, CNN debate with Trump, during which Biden froze at least twice, lost his train of thought, appeared stiff and made multiple verbal gaffes.

"But he had frailties. We all saw the debate," Ferguson said, with Harris claiming, "I do believe that Joe Biden had the capacity to be president of the United States, and I've never doubted that he had the capacity to be president of the United States. If you want to talk about whether he had the ability to endure what a race for president of the United States would require in that political environment in 2024, as I've said in the book, I had concerns."

"I talked about that in the book. And I also mentioned the context in which that debate occurred. And you'll probably remember how I talked about that in terms of what his travel schedule had been, that -- what he had been enduring in terms of the timing of that debate," Harris said after Ferguson pressed her about Biden's decline. "I talk about it extensively in the book. I'm not shying away from that. That's why I wrote it in the book, because I do know it's a question people had."

The Wall Street Journal published several articles about Biden's declining mental acuity prior to his July 21, 2024, announcement that he would not seek reelection. Despite multiple sources confirming the reports, these articles faced pushback from other media outlets and Democrats.

Sharp as a tack. Sharp as a TACK!

Speaking further of DEI hires, Abby Philip, in defending CNN from claims that they aren't hard enough on Scott Jennings and conservatives, admits the "news" network is "center left."

I mean, she's half right.

Is she the best Republican Maine can put forward? Possibly, but that's no reason to plant a big wet one on her a$$. One can acknowledge her inevitability, but I don't see a need to celebrate it.

@JonahDispatch
I like Bill and consider him a friend. But I just have no idea why -- even given all his other changed positions etc. -- he would say he'd vote for Mamdani. I can't think of a single angle where it makes sense as a strategic or tactical or messaging thing and I don’t see a reason on the merits given the things I’m pretty sure he still believes. It's just strange. Particularly given that he doesn’t have to have an opinion since he doesn’t live there.

psst, jonah: It's because you're all being funded by hard-left agitators like Pierre Omidyar to run ops against the only available opposition to the islamist-communist left

Bill Kristol is like MSNBC where Jonah is like CNN from ten years ago. Jonah is pretending he's not a shill for the left whereas Kristol knows he's only got a couple of years left so YOLO

Yeah, not a fan. It wasn't good.

The least realistic aspect of the show was Raylan filling up dead air by having a torrid affair with an old, potato shaped black woman for no reason at all.

She was not attractive in any way and it pulled you out of the show.

If she'd been a hot black honey, sure, why not? But, she wasn't. And that didn't fit with his established character.

Also Raylan played second fiddle a lot of the time to Ol' Tater and his daughter.

Do not watch.

Anyhoo, he's immediately preyed upon by all the fellas, having to be the bitch for, at least initially, the JK Simmons character.

One of the earliest episodes, they had the bitch guy wearing makeup, like he was a girl. And JK Simmons is sorta laughing when he says he looks beautiful.

Kurt Schlichter is just about everyone's mother. He's the "it takes two to fight" guy. Everything he does now - everything - I'm convinced is rooted from his desire to avoid whatever he thinks he saw during his deployment to the Balkans or wherever the Hell it was that turned him into what he is.

It doesn't matter which side marches to the camps for Kurt. He just wants Order. Suffer in Silence, please, says Kurt. Just kick the can down the road, insists Kurt in numerous paragraphs.

Kurt can see one person just walk up and gut somebody in the gut - and insist we all just settle down.

59 I'm still fascinated by this lefty notion SNAP generates $1.80 of economic activity for every dollar granted. These people act like the government dollar is the first dollar, ignoring the fact that someone who actually works paid that dollar, plus the administrative cost, to give the Feds that dollar, which they then give away to some illegal.

Lets assume the Feds are an inefficient charity and spend a dollar of administration to give away the dollar. That two dollars of taxes starts the cycle that ends, according to Chinese Tim Walz, with $1.80 in economic activity. But the Fed estimates usually a 3x multiplier of private activity per dollar created by work, so, in other words, the economy gives up $2 bucks in taxes times 3, or $6 in economic activity for that $1.80.

What a loser of an investment, put in $6 bucks and get a buck eighty back. You can go poor fast making investments like that.

The way the scam works is that illegal invaders pop out an anchor baby, who is now a citizen,and so the "household" qualifies as American.

By the way, if you want a schadenfreudy little stroll down memory lane, Sarah Ferguson did (I think) the first interview with Hillary Clinton after her loss in 2016. Ferguson is wildly partisan and actually stupid ("How long will it be before Trump starts World War Three with a nuclear bomb?") but she's a journalist first and foremost. "If it bleeds, it leads." So she begins by showing footage of Hillary at Trump's inauguration looking like she's just eaten a box of black pills and then tells Hillary (in her studio), "Take us back to that moment. What were you going through?"

That's exactly what I would have asked her! In a different spirit, of course. A gleeful, knife-twisting experience if you will.

122 37 I finally get to the point where I can forgive Kurt Schlichter for defending Mitch McConnell well beyond his sell-by date, and then he goes and publishes a nauseating puff piece on Susan Collins.

Kurt Schlichter is just about everyone's mother. He's the "it takes two to fight" guy. Everything he does now - everything - I'm convinced is rooted from his desire to avoid whatever he thinks he saw during his deployment to the Balkans or wherever the Hell it was that turned him into what he is.

It doesn't matter which side marches to the camps for Kurt. He just wants Order. Suffer in Silence, please, says Kurt. Just kick the can down the road, insists Kurt in numerous paragraphs.

Was it Rosie that groomed the kid, or the kid's teachers? Probably both, and the kid probably never said that, unless he was brainwashed into saying it. Rosie was no doubt pushing it ... to get attention for herself.

188 China agrees to purchase 25 million metric tons of US soybeans annually, treasury secretary says. Basically same trade result but had to bail out farmers this year. So a net loss.

Does this mean the war on soybeans is over? Is this his 10th war ended? I’m sure he’ll be updating his Nobel Prize application shortly

Looking forward to the news stories 3, 6, 12 months from now about how China didn’t actually end up buying more soybeans and for those stories to go largely unnoticed… and yet all the soybean farmers and communities that depend on them still support Trump. 

Trump had to fly there and negotiate just to get back to the Biden economy 🤣 It's the political equivalent of Trump's stupid yanking handshake. All bluster and nothing gained except being an asshole.

190 >>> 54 Let's go to the AI:

The majority of SNAP recipients are not foreigners; about 89.4% of recipients are U.S.-born citizens. Of the less than 11% who are foreign-born, a portion are naturalized citizens and some are eligible noncitizens or refugees, with many noncitizens facing restrictions and waiting periods to receive benefits.

So, who's telling the truth? According to that Newsmax piece, 59% are illegal aliens, not citizens. I tend to think that this is something that should be confirmed.

The AI is full of shit. Well, its programmers really, but anyway.

"U.S.-born citizens" That right there is a big fucking tell. Then:

"a portion are naturalized citizens" how many / what percent?
"some are eligible noncitizens or refugees" how many / what percent? how the fuck are ANY NON-citizens eligible? and "refugees" sounds like another BS bucket they're using to distort the real numbers.

Out of those, I sure hope Cornyn can be replaced by Paxton, and a good challenger to Cassidy can be found. Lankston needs to go back to being a kids sunday school teacher.

Btw, Jasmine is now starting to talk openly about running for Senator in '26 - I think she'd win the Dem primary easily. Allred is dull as dirt, already lost that race once, and the only other challenger is some pathetic faux-christian white boy. Not a chance, even though out of staters love him.

201 >>>It literally means... nothing?

I think it originally meant something. The rapper "Skrilla" (or something) said "10-6-7," (or just 6-7) which is Philly cop code for a dead body.

But apparently kids started saying it without knowing what it meant, so they started making up backtronym type explanations of what it meant, like it was referring to a particular basketball player who is 6' 7".

And then it just meant nothing, except that it really bothers teachers so I guess it may have no definition but it does have an intention.

Absolutely not. This completely denies how money flows.

Why has medicine become more expensive ? The same reason college has. In both cases - it started with taking money from everyone to funnel into something.

Before ObamaCare ? I could get a family policy online from Blue Cross in an hour. Insurance is what you buy BEFORE the crash. Everyone now wants a subsidy. Thanks Obama. And thanks McCain.

The police code "10-67" has multiple meanings, but it most commonly refers to a report of death or a person calling for help. Other meanings can include a variety of other calls depending on the specific law enforcement agency's code set.

Report of death: In many police departments, this is the most frequent meaning of 10-67.

Person calling for help: Some departments use this code to signify a person who is making a distress call.

271 Ohio:
In popular internet culture, especially among Gen Alpha, "Ohio" is used as an adjective to describe something strange, weird, or cringey.

This usage stems from online memes like "Only in Ohio" or "It's all Ohio," which joke about bizarre occurrences happening in the state.

Example: "Did you see how they were dressed today? She's so Ohio".

Skibidi Ohio Rizz:
This is a nonsensical phrase popular with younger generations that combines slang words. It's often used to describe someone who is awkward or cringey when trying to flirt.

Sorry to bust your bubble but if a political party intentionally tanked the entire economy for a decade by repealing medicare/medicaid they deserve what happens to them.


It sucks but it is what has been built into the American economy since the 1960s when medicare first came online. We are not going to get out of this hole without a whole lot of pain and if republicans pull the trigger democrats will win the house, senate and white house and reinstate everything times ten.

No doubt he is right that she is the only kind of Republican the state can elect at this time. My point, perhaps badly expressed, is that this is a reality to be accepted with regret, not celebrated with adulatory prose. The latter strikes me as being in bad taste - which is, of course, a matter of personal preference.

348 I thought it was Teddy Roosevelt who saved lives and saved football, completely changed the rulesn, and I quote:
"Make first down 10 yards instead of 5 yards,
The addition of the forward pass so teams can move the ball down the field without shoving into each other as much as they used to.
A neutral zone authorized between offense and defense."

School meals are still on at least around here. And the food pantries are gearing up for a bums rush next week, they know what is going to happen if the snap money trough is not turned back on this weekend. We were there this week with a car load of box cereal and mac and cheese, it wasn't a whole lot in the grand scheme of things but every box of cereal helps. If you can donate locally or volunteer to help out they would appreciate it.

364 Sorry, Ace, I can't find the citation now.

Having Succeeded in Destroying a Fourth Beloved IP, Disney Ends Its Financial Backing of Doctor Who (Is Gay)

Doctor Who veered left under Steven Moffat and Peter Capaldi, then went full identity politics with the "first female Doctor" under Chris Chibnal. Turns out, Jodie Whitaker wasn't even the first female Doctor -- they retconned many earlier doctors, including, of course, a never-before-seen First Black Female Doctor.

As a black woman of female, I had never felt more validated.

Having turned Doctor Who into yet another Princess brand, of course Disney couldn't miss out on getting in on the action and ushering the immortal Doctor into the grave.

And it just so happens that for the two seasons Disney funded the show, the Doctor was now black and gay. And not just gay. Super-Gay.

The Doctor's sex life was never part of the show before. Yes, he'd had sex -- he had had children, and grandchildren -- but he was a grandfatherly figure of wisdom who had little interest in sex and considered it a boring distraction from the real marvels of the universe.

This changed in the rebooted series, where the Doctor sometimes flirted with female companions. But this never went beyond a chaste fondness.

Then the first gay Doctor came in, and he was gay all the way. The previous heterosexual Doctors had never been straight-all-the-way. He didn't gawk at women. At most, he'd make an offhand quip about having once been in a relationship with Queen Elizabeth I or something.

But when he went gay, he was full-on in-your-face gay. He even wore a skirt and went disco-dancing.

Point is, Disney swooped in to "save" Doctor Who when its ratings were already among the lowest they had ever been due to its egregious and incessant woke messaging. They "rescued" the show, which the BBC was no longer willing to fund.

And then the show turned even woker. And its ratings went from among the worst in the show's sixty year history to the very worst in the show's sixty-year history.

And now, having accomplished its mission of destroying yet another formerly male-skewing property, Disney says they're done and satisfied with a job well done.

It has been rumored for months and now it has become reality.

Disney+ will be exiting the TARDIS and will no longer be involved with Doctor Who after partnering on two seasons with the BBC plus an upcoming spin-off titled The War Between The Land and the Sea.

The BBC just confirmed that the show will continue and will return with a Christmas special in 2026 penned by showrunner Russell T. Davies. Details of future seasons will be announced in due course along with more information on an animation for pre-school children.

Nope! The plan was always to do a sixtieth anniversary "holiday special" (the show stopped doing Christmas shows a while ago; wouldn't want to give any kind of exposure to the Christian ideology.)

That doesn't mean the show is "continuing." It means only that they're doing the one additional episode they already contracted to doing.

There is no current Doctor to continue the show. The actor playing the ultra-gay black Doctor angered the BBC when he refused to honor a commitment to be some kind of presenter for the BBC's broadcast of the Eurovision song contest. Ncuti Gatwa boycotted the event due to his extreme hatred of Israel (which was featured in the show, and, as usual, getting no votes due to Euorpe's high levels of antisemitism, both domestic and imported).

So he's out.

But that's okay, because anniversary specials usually feature the return of actors who have played the Doctor in the past. So the show will just be whoever is willing to come out of the retirement home to pick up an easy check.

And that will be that.

<.blockquote>..

"The BBC remains fully committed to Doctor Who, which continues to be one of our most loved dramas, and we are delighted that Russell T Davies has agreed to write us another spectacular Christmas special for 2026," she added. "We can assure fans, the Doctor is not going anywhere, and we will be announcing plans for the next series in due course which will ensure the TARDIS remains at the heart of the BBC."

If that were true, you could just commit to additional seasons of the show now, instead of declaring that at some point in the future you will fund new seasons.

The Groomer BBC and Groomer Disney Corporation teamed up to kill the Doctor, once and for all, and I'm glad he's dead. Or she's dead. Or they's dead.

50 >> The BBC remains fully committed to Doctor Who

Well, since the BBC shits on everything they do worse than Disney, that’s not comforting at all. They will probably turn Dr Who into an African migrant. They went back into a lot of the old series you could get on Brit Box, Fawlty Towers and a bunch of others, and edited out the “offensive” parts. So F them. You would be better off if they sold the property to an independent outfit who didn’t give a fig about pleasing the mob or bowing to Euro-Censorship which is now their sine qua non.

The largest benificiary of SNAP isn't black or white women. It's Walmart, Coca-Cola, and Pepsi. Look up the percentages of their profits from SNAP. It's eye popping.

Walmart has a sick cycle where they don't pay employees enough, so the employees have to go on SNAP, they get their cards, and then turn around and spend all their SNAP benefits for groceries at Walmart. How is this legal?

57 I think Dr Who was already fucked before Disney got involved. As soon as Chibnall came on the scene, it was dead, just a walking corpse.
-------

When I was 6 years old circa 1970-ish, Dr. Who (reruns I'm sure?) came on at the same time in the afternoon that Wild Wild West (reruns I'm sure) came on. It was a no-brainer for me--to this day I've never watched a complete episode of Dr. Who. I won't be watching any of the newer versions either--if I wanted to watch gays on parade I'd cue up Tim Walz campaign events from youtube.

58 anyone mention this? seen at ny post:

Rosie O'Donnell is turning to her fans for support.

The comedian, 63, took to social media this week to ask for prayers after her oldest daughter, Chelsea, was sentenced to prison for violating the terms of her probation for drug charges.

"My child chelsea belle – before addiction took over her life – i loved her then i love her now as she faces a scary future," O'Donnell wrote on Instagram alongside a younger photo of Chelsea on Wednesday.

86 The folks that pull the public strings understand many things about the collective psyche of Americans. And this next statement applies differently - as a group - to different generations and races and religions and economics and such. We call that demographics. Also stereotypes. Because, when talking groups, it works.

Americans used to be fanatic about their brands. They're less so now, but still associate with their brands.

Every hustler out there from Joe Rogan to Dwayne Johnson to Taylor Swift to all the failed late night guys to AOC are busting their balls trying to become the new brand name.

They all see "followers" as the new version of power. Imagine that. Sitting in a room, trying to give a shit about "all my followers".

Elemental had eye rolling, very light woke moments. But the main conflict of the daughter of immigrants trying to find her place in the world, and torn between two worlds, speaks deeply to me from my own family issues. I watched it on a plane and was surprised that I loved it.

Not on a child, but on a Millennial woman. At work. But hey, I saw one! Disney managed to move at least one "Rei" costume! #winning

I saw at least three Mario/Luigi/Peach costumes, tho.

I have no idea what the event was. I walked into the cafeteria and was greeted by a teeming mass of costumed grown-ups and a tremendous wall of noise.

That's a lie. A lie commonly retold. A lie all the same.

If you live in a "Company Town" ? And most of those throughout the Rust Belt did. Your parents worked for less than they could have in a place with competition. That is EXACTLY why GM went to a Horizontal model. Why all the Japanese companies did. Why Ford eventually did.

There is their in-house IP, TRON, which they're in the process of destroying, first by cancelling Tron Uprising after the first season, and at the cliffhanger (and that show was actually really good.) Now they've created a TRON movie (TRON Ares) without Bruce Boxleitner who played TRON. It's eminently forgettable.

It's supposed to be an anti-iPhone commercial where people live in the peaceful, happy world of "Sugar Town" clicking vanilla ice cream cones everywhere they go, but...oh, no!

They can't use the iCe Cream cone for everything, but they still go happily about their business, until-

a snippy Karen shows up and being all-knowing except about flowers gets her Google phone to tell her what they are.

I don't get it. Sugar Town seems perfectly nice. All clean and crime-free. Sugar Town is a nice song by Nanci Sinatra. It seems pretty sweet(!) until Karen shows up.

217 @153/Sponge: "I think I stopped watching Dr. Who after the Doctor after Tom Baker, whom I was a fan of as well."

Peter Davison. A very nice man by all accounts, but that niceness bled into the role so much that it made the character he played come across as an indecisive wuss and a pushover.

I ended up tuning out because of him as well. I also liked Jon Pertwee (Doctor # 3) and Tom Baker (Doctor # 4) but this was back when I was a kid. I tried watching those old episodes now with eyes that are 29 with considerable experience, and they're low budget leftist dreck.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent
@SecScottBessent

.@SenWarren and @SenAmyKlobuchar: you are failures.

You failed to derail the electoral success of one of our great allies in Latin America, President @JMilei. He won in a landslide with the poorest members of society voting for economic freedom—a notion anathema in particular to the Senate’s resident American Peronist, Senator Warren.

You failed to reopen the government, preventing our Administration’s efforts to get aid to American farmers, as well as our planned activation of the Farm Credit Agency to assist our farmers with next year’s crops.

As the attached photo demonstrates, @POTUS is in Asia showing what successful American leadership looks like. Today’s announcement after his meeting with President Xi will be a resounding victory for our great farmers.

While I know it will be soul-crushing for you, please re-focus your staff away from writing incoherent letters to myself and others, and instead work towards opening the government.

If you decide to further add to your legacy of failure by voting to keep the government closed over the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday [ . . . ]

236 I was a weird kid, I liked Rosie's daytime talk show and watched I after school sometimes. I can even still hum the theme song jingle. She was so excited to have gotten her first adopted baby. Gushed about how much she loved it, and how crazy it is that really young babies don't have smelly poop. It was a weird thing to talk about in the show. But I liked she was excited about every aspect of parenting, even baby poop. Her mom died when she was young and it scarred her. She was excited at the time to be a mom.

But I don't know what's happened to Rosie since. It's hard to believe all the charming parts of her in the 90s was all an act. Was some of it real?

Not saying usury and abuse did not exist, just that it was exaggerated and used to inflame the public against private ownership of mines and property.

269 Hollywood actually hit themselves in the face twice. It's easy to say that they are catering to the radical left, and the are with the "message". But, they, ALSO, gutted their crew talent.

There is a great article (unfortunately I can't remember the writer)...but he was talking about how one of the best "Animation Departments" ever to be assembled was at Disney. But, they were all middle aged and old white guys. So, Disney provided free reign to the DEI office, and they gutted the animation department. And, replaced these legends with film school nobodies lacking any facet of animation talent. You can, actually, see the difference in product by just looking at the quality of what is released now and what was released then. Especially on expressions of the animated character.

So, it's not just that they are creating a woke product. They have replaced their best crew talent with diversity hires.

291 I always suspected a lot of that "company store" stuff was just socialist propaganda trying to push for communism.

No. Company Stores were a real thing. They existed. Companies really did - when they could - pay employees in part with Company Store Credit. Look it up.

When 401K stuff first came out - and now we're really talking 80s - when I was just about to enter the workforce - there were a few cases of companies raiding group funds. And a ton of cases of companies burning the pension funds dry. In my case ? My 401K match was in "proxy shares". Turns out, in a buyout, the board could vote those shares at a lesser price in turn for a personal bonus.

Company Stores were real. I'm not stunned someone here though it was fake. That's the general mindset of "I love my corporations".

293 bob (moron incognitus), there was a lot of abuse in company towns, especially when the economy went south after WWI and WWII. Mines, milltowns and logging camps were pretty harsh and abusive to the workers.
It was one of the drivers for the anarcho-syndicalist movements like the Wobblies, which later were the communist movements.
The fact that the Fair Labor and Standards Act, and the Migrant and Seasonal Protection Act are core to labor legislation is an indication of how important Congress thought the problem was.

It amazes me that they keep making the same mistakes.

Take a beloved Movie or Book Character, and decide that THEY know better who that character is, or should be, then the original.

If they want a specific character, or story, don't try to ride in on the coattails of an existing character... write your own damn original.

Oh... wait... you can't... because if you were that talented to start with, you already would have.

And it is even worse for me, when the take a literary character, and the first Movie actually gets it pretty much right... but the sequels then have to 'redefine' the Character.

Yeah, not a fan. It wasn't good.

The least realistic aspect of the show was Raylan filling up dead air by having a torrid affair with an old, potato shaped black woman for no reason at all.

She was not attractive in any way and it pulled you out of the show.

If she'd been a hot black honey, sure, why not? But, she wasn't.

Also Raylan played second fiddle a lot of the time to Ol' Tater and his daughter.

Schmock Schmoll: Ciattarelli Now Virtually Tied With Cheater and Grifter Mikie Sherrill for NJ Governor

Sherrill 49%, Ciattarelli 48%, 2% undecided.

And this is via a public poll, and those tend to skew Democrat by three or more points.


Democratic nominee Rep. Mikie Sherrill and Republican nominee Jack Ciattarelli are polling evenly in the New Jersey gubernatorial race ahead of Election Day on Tuesday.

According to an Emerson College Polling/PIX11/The Hill survey released on Thursday, 49% of likely voters support Sherrill, compared to Ciattarelli's 48%, with 2% undecided. With the margin of error at +/- 3 percentage points, the two candidates are essentially tied in the race.

When undecided voters were asked which candidate they are leaning toward, Sherrill received 50% support, while Ciattarelli remained at 48%, which is still within the margin of error.

The gubernatorial race was tied last month, as an Emerson College Polling/PIX11/The Hill survey in September showed both nominees tied at 43%, with 11% undecided.

In the last New Jersey governor's race, Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy beat Ciattarelli by 3 percentage points, and former Vice President Harris won the state last year by about 6 points.

...

Emerson College Polling Executive Director Spencer Kimball noted the significant gender gap in the polling.

"Heading into Election Day, the gender divide in the gubernatorial election has solidified: men break for Ciattarelli by 16 points, while women break for Sherrill by 18 points," Kimball said. "Since last month, Ciattarelli's lead among men increased by four points, and Sherill's lead among women grew by eight points."

In 2021, the polls understated Ciattarelli's support against the incumbent Democrat by 5.2%.

In more schmolling news: The public really doesn't care about "climate change."

Murphy did not beat Ciattarelli by 3 percentage points. Shitta won that election. Only the usual truckloads of sus ballots arriving through the back door after everyone was asleep put Murphy over the top.

I think Shitta wins this won by enough of a margin to beat the cheat. Or maybe I'm snorting too much hopeium.

Posted by: 18-1 at October 30, 2025 03:52 PM (sKqQm)

Word is they are ending it no matter what after the elections next week - centrist Dems want to rebel, but have been told to wait til after the election b/c the Dems believe this is still helping them.

Although the message that Dems want SNAP folks to vote for them so they deny them SNAP til they do is an interesting one to try to get the media to go along with...

PS - VOTE, VOTE, VOTE in VA and my old home NJ. These races are winnable if we get wave turnout, b/c we are that party with the "maybe I'll vote, maybe I won't" voter now, and we need to turn ALL of them out to have any chance...

71 Beliefs on gender roles shaping NJ governor’s race. Voters who embrace “masculinity norms” overwhelmingly back Ciattarelli, 88% to 11%; Experimental messaging showed Sherrill’s military background appealed to progressive voters

"Voters who embrace 'masculinity norms'" is such a convoluted way to say misogynists. Saying misogynists don't like to vote for women is like saying water is wet.

Breaking news: misogynists, pedophiles and And self-loathing closeted homosexuals vote Republican.

I'm a football lovin, beer guzzlin', woman chasin', steak eatin', rib grillin', H-white straight male, and I voted BLUE. The only jackasses who attest to believing in "masculinity norms" are the frail little MAGAs who think a "red pill" adds inches.

Insecure males are still cucked by Trump and anything he endorses. What about Ciattarelli screams 'masculinity norms'. dudes a pharma oligarch, least relatable thing in the world.

Masculinity norms like elevating a guy with five kids across three wives, cheats notoriously, pays prostitutes, goes after married women, advocates and defends sexual assault, bankrolled by a guy with 14 kids across 6 women?

But the relationship dynamic has changed so much that a significant portion of liberal twats -- and assholic men -- decided that they no longer need to modulate to appeal to a mate, or they don't want a mate at all.

Kinda fascinating to pull apart, really. That's the mechanism for the garbage tier newsfaces, sure. The knob to twiddle is the Message, because that's what they (think they) have control over. But there's the tier above them, the actual ruling bodies of The Party, namely staffers, staff asses, and various NGO chairmutants, who understand that The Issue doesn't ever matter. The Issue can be whatever it needs to be. All that matters is maintaining power. Issue A ain't getting traction despite the newsfaces' best efforts at twiddling their little narrative knobs? Eff it, trot out Issue B. Even if Issue B is NOT( Issue A ), whatever, run it up the pole and see who salutes.

In a 2018 gun rights discussion, Duncanthrax quipped about "overly enthusiastic" firearm mods, blending technical knowledge with mockery of anti-gun arguments—showcasing a pro-2A stance with engineer-like precision.

During a 2017 thread roasting CNN's Acosta, they posted a snarky aside comparing him to a "Zork troll," tying back to their handle while amplifying the blog's anti-mainstream media bent.

This style contributes to AoSHQ's reputation as "smart but very very vulgar," as noted by observers of the blog's community.

Community Role and Influence
In AoSHQ's ecosystem, Duncanthrax represents the "geek-conservative" archetype: informed on tech/military topics, yet fully immersed in the site's rowdy camaraderie. They occasionally spark sub-threads with references that delight fellow "morons," fostering the blog's sense of insider belonging. While not a moderator or guest poster, their consistent presence since the Obama era underscores loyalty to Ace's unapologetic voice."

Apparently two liberals running for the same job are woke women. One is an old school wise Latina who fights for restorative justice. The other is a young woke Karen. Young Karen is running to unseat the wise Latina because the Latina isn't "empathetic enough."

141 I asked Grok to scan the comments section.

I'm afraid I ran into a snag while trying to directly pull the comments from Ace of Spades HQ's latest post (on Biden advisor Ian Sams' rare meetings with the president). The site's comment system loads dynamically or via a separate archive (acecomments.mu.nu), and my tools couldn't extract the actual user discussions—likely due to how it's structured.
That said, based on the blog's longstanding reputation, the comments section (often called the "Moot" by regulars) is typically a rowdy, unfiltered free-for-all...

"Overview
JackStraw is a long-time, active commenter on Ace of Spades HQ (AoSHQ), a prominent conservative/libertarian political blog known for its irreverent humor, sharp cultural commentary, and "Moron Horde" community of readers. Active since at least the mid-2000s (based on archived posts), JackStraw exemplifies the blog's style: witty, sarcastic, and unapologetically right-leaning. The commenter uses a single-word handle ("JackStraw"), common on the site's Disqus-powered comment sections, and has no formal bio or profile visible on the blog itself—typical for pseudonymous AoSHQ participants who value anonymity while engaging in lively, often profane debates.

Activity and Engagement

Tenure: Comments date back to at least 2006, spanning topics from politics to pop culture. Recent activity as of October 2025 shows consistent participation, with posts on current events like election maps, media scandals, and holiday open threads.
Posting Frequency: High-volume contributor; appears in multiple threads per week. For example, in late October 2025, JackStraw commented on posts about U.S. Attorney firings, gas prices under Trump, and morning rants on media bias."

223 Grok on the Admiral

Admiral Ackbar appears to be a pseudonymous commenter who's been a fixture in the "Moot" (the site's affectionate term for its rowdy comment threads) for years. He's not one of the headliners like BEN ROETHLISBERGER...

Political Snark with a Trap-Spotting Edge...For instance, in threads on election fraud or Biden gaffes, he's dropped lines like: "It's a trap! The Dems are dangling this 'bipartisan' bait again

Off-Topic Detours and Banter: Like many Moosters, he veers into chit-chat—military history riffs (nodding to Ackbar's fleet-command roots), sports roasts, or tech gripes. A sample from a gun rights thread: "My AR's got more range than Ackbar's fleet at Endor. Who's buying the next round of 'traps' for the ATF?"

Overall, his stuff fits the site's unfiltered ethos: 60% takedown of libs/media, 30% intra-conservative jabs, 10% pure absurdity.

And there's good evidence in many places that during the Roman Warm Period, sea levels were actually a couple feet higher than today. Pevensey Castle on the southern coast of England, for example, started off as a Roman sea fort guarding an inlet to a widely used harbor at the time. Today the harbor is just farmland, and the high point the castle sits on, which was once next to the sea, is now over a mile inland.

230 Grok on Sponge excerpts:

Community Role: Background player in the Horde—reliable for chuckles, but not a thread-starter. Comments occasionally draw replies from vets like Ace himself or OregonMuse, fostering light banter. No moderation flags; embodies the site's "everyman conservative" archetype.

Personality and Themes

Core Traits: Witty observer with a chill, absorbent demeanor—takes in the news, wrings out humor. Anti-elite, pro-free speech, with a soft spot for underdog stories and '90s nostalgia.
Recurring Topics: Media mockery, election absurdity, pop culture parodies, light tech/gaming asides. Avoids heavy partisanship, opting for relatable laughs over fury.
Why Notable?: In AoSHQ's rowdy comment ecosystem, Sponge represents the quiet Horde strength—subtle, memorable jabs that stick like sea foam. A reminder that not all voices roar; some just soak up the room.

Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts disavowed the canceling of Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes, calling their attackers a “venomous coalition.”

He went on to say that "The Heritage Foundation didn't become the intellectual backbone of the conservative movement by cancelling our own people or policing the conscience of Christians, and we won't start doing that now."

Roberts urged conservatives to focus on fighting the left rather than attacking allies on the right. He also said, in relation to Israel, that conservatives should "feel no obligation to reflexively support any foreign government no matter how loud the pressure becomes from the globalist class or their mouthpieces in Washington."

" Competing narratives and potential agendas — why numbers are emphasized differently

Policy advocates, researchers, and media often emphasize different metrics depending on agenda: organizations focused on poverty and racial equity highlight disproportionate representation of Black and Hispanic households relative to population share, whereas summaries intended to show program reach may emphasize the fact that Whites are the largest single group numerically because Whites remain the largest racial group nationally"

Yep, my take as well. All of these executive orders and Supreme Court wins and yet ZERO legislative victories. The GOP is literally just sitting around and hoping they can run out the clock on Trump and that the "good old days" (for them) will return afterwards.

Lot of institutional support for keeping the war going. I have some thoughts about that, and part of that is there seems to be a ground game in the US to try to drum up either support for, or force fights about Israel.
It is hard to tell the difference between the one-note fools and the paid ones.

==========================

The "broken windows" theory of policing was vindicated by Rudy Giuliani and the NYC police department (as well as various others across the United States). You might be thinking of a common criticism of the Keynesian "pump priming" justification for government expenditure, which is that breaking windows and replacing them doesn't actually generate productive economic activity, but that has zero relation to Giuliani.

377 There is teh "broken window fallacy" which posits that it would be a benefit to the economy and the glaziers in particular to break all the windows in town so they have to be replaced, and those who decide to brick up their windows completely to avoid the ongoing cost would be a boon to the candle sellers because all the buildings will be dark inside.

Key Biden Advisor Ian Sams Previously Claimed that Biden Was Sharp as a Tack.
Only Now Does He Admit: I Only Met With Biden Twice In the Two Years I Worked For Him.

Via Twitchy, he previously swore to the American people that Biden was, as they say, sharp as a tack.

He did not provide any caveats for this assessment. He did not mention, for example, that he really wouldn't know if Biden was in steep mental decline or not, because he only met the dementia patient twice.

Now that Trump is in office and prosecutions for lying to Congress are on the table, he gets around to finally mentioning that he only even saw Biden twice.

Some Democrats are still sticking to the "sharp as a tack" claims while making up stories about how Biden was just as available to the press as Trump.

Former Biden special assistant Ian Sams, the same one who went on to become a spokesman for Kamala Harris and lie about how her campaign was performing, has been called out for two very different answers about his interactions with Joe while he was in the White House.

GOP Oversight served up these shots and chasers featuring Sams during a Biden coverup hearing vs. what he was telling the media at the time.


The Democrats are doubling down on Biden's mental acuity. They can't admit they lied, because once they stop admitting that, when would they ever stop?

2020: "Sharp as a Tack"

2021: "Sharp as a Tack"

2022: "Sharp as a Tack"

2023: "Sharp as a Tack"

2024: "His, errr, polls are in steep decline so he has to quit the race"

2025: "Sharp as a Tack"

He was a vegetable.

But even years before when running for President, his local campaign visits in tiny bars, borough halls were legendary. Few attendees, everyone in masks, and he made no sense then either but for TDS.

They always knew he was screwed up but had him elected so they could pour $ into BS programs and steal without guilt & punishment, knowing that nasty old man signed anything if/when told he'd go down in history as a super star.

In fairness, I would like Biden more for $4 million.

I'd probably even like him enough to stop calling him a daughter-fucking rapist on the internet.

90 My personal "experience" of Joe Biden was remembering him being relatively snappy with answers to questions in the Fall of 2019, then in the Spring of 2020, even before he was nominated or elected, he had lost a step of two or three or four. It only got worse from there.

122 The Biden politburo knew Scranton Joe was a rutabaga and instead of acting in the best interests of the nation they acted in their own best interests which centered around maintaining political power, looting the treasury with handouts for cronies, and running a police state whose goal was to put President Trump in prison for life and destroy all political opposition. This critique applies to all the down stream sycophants, like Ian Sams, who knew the truth and, at best, told incomplete lies that hid what was was going on.

This politburo had a proscribed constitutional process to remove an incapacitated president and they chose not to use so they could throw the borders wide open, destroy the energy economy, trigger the worst inflation in 50 years, go on a censorship spree, and use an autopen to forge Biden's signature on official documents.

If what they did isn't treason, it sure rhymes with it. Every one of them needs to be indicated, prosecuted and given a chance to prove they didn't basically high jack, some might even call it a coup, the presidency,

Not just anyone, Mike Donilon. He was a Biden aide for decades, well back into the Senate time. He's someone I bet did see Joe all the time.

He knew. They all knew. Hell, we knew. Joe was always a corrupt dunce but he could usually pull off sounding slick. It was obvious at the beginning of the 2020 election he was gone. That's why they kept him locked in the basement.

The problem with actually being president is they couldn't hide him from the public and no amount of gaslighting could change what we heard and saw on a daily basis.

Early childhood we were poor as shit. I don't think I'd even heard of Red Lobster. McDonalds or Wendy's was a fucking rare treat. So was meat for that matter unless it was part of a TV dinner.

They'd call on a payday, about once a month. (See the show Task? That's still my area, towns.)

We did, however, have the most wonderful homemade meals on Sunday, a well kept rowhouse, and a very old Chrysler with running boards that our father hand painted bottle green. It was known as Noah's ark.

240 Red Lobster was quite good and a bit luxury for its time. But like a lot of similar chain restaurants, it's been corrupted and infected with terrible management and penny-pinching mentality that noticeably worsened the quality of the food and experience.

I'm 100% convinced that at least half these restaurants aren't even preparing your food to order. They are just reheating pre-made or even frozen food, like a glorified TV dinner. This is surely much cheaper. But it tastes like asshole and customers are noticing.

243 Growing up in my lower middle class family, Red Lobster was quite fancy.

My father would have died at a Ruth's Chris steak house once he looked at the menu prices right before saying "My first car didn't cost that much!!"

For us, it was the very rare trip to Frisch's.

Once, on a vacation out west, we walked into a diner type restaurant, sat down, ordered pops, and Dad looked at the menu. Next thing I knew, we were getting up and walking out. As a kid, I was mortified.

244 I seem to recall that back when the Autopen first became a thing (which would have been just a few days after the inauguration of Trump) there were rumblings about various Clemency Pardons being provided in return for payments. The story was around for about 24 hours and then disappeared without any retraction. It just went *poof*.

So, when I see people like Ian Sams come "clean" by making the statement above, it may be that he (and the rest of them) consider that the lesser of the evils they performed... I'd like to know where the original "auctioning off Pardons" story initiated. And why it disappeared so abruptly.

Almost all the big chains order stuff from Sysco or related services. Some of Sysco's stuff is quite good but its not market fresh. And most of the big chains prepare portions and freeze them to microwave or boil in the bag to serve you. Its very hard to get good quality food from any major restaurant any more.

Willie Frank Peterson, 52, was convicted of conspiracy to distribute cocaine in 2023, and was sentenced to six years and three months in jail. His sentence began on Sept. 13, 2023, according to court records obtained by Fox News Digital.

Per a Jan. 17 executive grant of clemency, Biden commuted Peterson's sentence to 20 months, allowing him to leave custody shortly after.

A travel writer who went to Cuba during one of the recent abortive attempts at a sort of free market would eat at private restaurants (family cooks and serves in their front room)
His complaint was that the food was OK but it all started to taste the same, and he figured it was because everyone bought from the state markets which only had one type of ham, one type of cheese one type of bread . . . and so on. Technique can only go so far in that situation.

A lot of the restaurants taste alike here, too.

Antifa Terrorists Are Being Arrested and Convicted

Finally.

Andy Ngo reports that an Antifa terrorist, "Anarchy Marie, has been arrested on suspicion of aiding and abetting the sniper who shot an agent at an ICE facility in North Texas.


Janette Goering, 35, of Carrollton, Texas, was taken into custody on Oct. 21 and charged with aiding in the commission of terrorism, a state felony. Prosecutors allege Goering was part of the far-left cell that orchestrated a July 4 terrorist attack on the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado.

Investigators say the group used fireworks to lure staff and law enforcement outside before cell ringleader Benjamin Hanil Song opened fire. An Alvarado police officer was shot in the neck but survived. Dozens of additional rounds were fired at officers and staff.

This journalist previously identified the group as a North Texas Antifa cell whose members are affiliated with the John Brown Gun Club, an Antifa-aligned anarchist anti-government militia network.

"I know that individuals who affiliate with 'ANTIFA' ideology have or are willing to engage in acts of violence to affect a political change or influence governmental operation," wrote Detective William Reilly of the Johnson County Sheriff's Office in the criminal complaint.

Goering, described by prosecutors as a radical anarchist, is not accused of being present at the shooting. She allegedly provided Song with a Faraday bag to prevent his phone from being tracked electronically. After the attack, Song allegedly hid in a wooded area for a day before meeting Goering and other Antifa associates in Cleburne, Texas, to evade capture.

Recovered Signal chat messages show Goering used the aliases "biscuit" and "Marie" and expressed fear about her involvement:

"On a personal level, I'm terrified at what me doing the faraday stuff might do to me re: police questioning," Goering allegedly wrote.

...

Goering's arrest comes one week after two other Antifa militants -- Cameron Arnold, a Trantifa suspect also known as "Autumn Hill," and Zachary Evetts -- were federally indicted on charges of providing material support for terrorism and attempted murder. It was the first time in U.S. history that accused Antifa militants were charged with federal terrorism crimes.

Federal prosecutors are expected to present additional suspects to grand juries in the coming weeks.

State Indictment

Fourteen suspects have already been indicted by a Johnson County grand jury on state terrorism and organized crime charges on Oct. 23. Eleven face the most serious counts...


Texas continues arresting and convicting woke criminals who threaten to kill federal agents and judges.

As deportation roundups and sometimes violent protests continue throughout U.S. cities, those threatening federal agents and judges continue to be arrested and convicted in Texas.

Lubbock resident Tristan Langston faces up to 15 years in prison during his sentencing hearing next week after a jury convicted him of threatening to kill U.S. Secret Service agents and their family members. He was charged in March with Transmitting Threats in Interstate Commerce and Threatening a Federal Law Enforcement Officer. By August, a four-day trial was held and the jury convicted him on both counts, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Texas said.

He was convicted after the jury heard evidence that Langston had been making online threats since 2023, leading to an investigation by Secret Service agents.

"Evidence in the case revealed that Langston's statements went well beyond mere political rhetoric or bluster and constituted true threats directed at specific federal agents," the U.S. Attorney's Office said. For months, Langston "targeted one of the agents and his family in online posts and memorialized the anger and resentment he harbored against the agents in videos and notes he maintained on his cellphone over a period of years."

In February, he criticized two agents on X, also stating, "2nd Amendment in full effect. Gonna slit the throats of agents and their families."

"Targeting federal agents and their families with threats of violence is not protected speech -- it is a federal crime," Acting U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Nancy Larson said. "This verdict reaffirms our office's commitment to take all threats seriously and to hold accountable those who try to intimidate and terrorize our law enforcement partners."

In another case, a California woman, Dolly Patterson, was sentenced to the statutory maximum sentence after pleading guilty to transmitting an interstate threat to a U.S. District judge in the Northern District of Texas.

An investigation was conducted by the U.S. Marshals Service after she sent a threatening message through an online form to a federal judge in Amarillo in April 2023, stating, "Tell that anti-abortion judge he better watch his back . . . for the rest of his life!"

She was arrested, charged and acknowledged she sent the message "with the intent that it be perceived as a genuine threat and with knowledge that it would be viewed as such," according to court records. She also acknowledged that the interstate communication "constituted a true threat to injure another person under federal law."

...

In another case, a Mexican national, Eduardo Aguilar, 23, who was illegally living in Dallas, was arrested for allegedly soliciting others to kill U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. At the time of his arrest, he had a loaded 9mm handgun in his vehicle. It is a felony for illegal foreign national to possess firearms in the U.S.

Aguilar was charged with Transmitting in Interstate or Foreign Commerce a Communication Containing a Threat because of an Oct. 9 TikTok solicitation he allegedly posted in Spanish.

The English translation reads, "I need 10 dudes in Dallas with determination (guts) who aren't afraid to [two skull emojis]. 10K for each ICE agent." The emojis represent death or "to die."

...

Aguilar illegally entered the U.S. in 2018 as an unaccompanied minor, according to ICE records. On Feb. 8, 2019, a federal immigration judge issued a final order of removal, but he was never removed from the U.S. It would take another six years for him to be arrested.


Anti-ICE/antifa terrorists are being arrested in connection with the assault on officers busting a pot farm for employing both illegals and children.

This was a bad week for the bad guys who wanted to kill or maim Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in two raids last summer. There are now more of them in custody and looking for lawyers.

Over the past few days, federal officers have rolled up key bad guys who were involved in ambushing ICE and other federal officers during two notorious raids--one in California and one in Texas--and in the violent attack on state patrol officers during the latest L.A. ICE riots. One involved an Antifa perpetrator, and the other involved angry activists who were called to riot at the site of a notorious pot farm raid by using phone apps to vector them to the scene.

Early Wednesday morning, Department of Homeland Security officers arrested a man in connection with the notorious pot farm raid in Ventura County, California, in July. The scene of the raid, the Glass House marijuana farm facilities, is where ICE and other federal officers discovered underage workers and detained more than 300 people.

Before the July 10 raid got underway, dozens of people, who were part of a social media collective, identified the raid was happening and descended on the facility. Some of them had weapons.

The U.S. Attorneys Office in Central California revealed that some of these people were part of an organized group formed to attack and block the officers who were arresting criminal aliens.

...

One man brought a handgun and shot at officers. Another man, arrested on Wednesday, could be seen throwing large rocks at federal cars on another road where protesters had formed another barricade ambush site.

The feds say Isai Carrillo, arrested Wednesday morning in Oxnard, was throwing rocks at federal agents' cars with Virginia Reyes. Though Reyes is still hiding from officers and considered a fugitive, she and Carrillo are both charged with conspiracy to impede or injure a federal officer, a charge that could net them five years in federal prison.

Officers also arrested several people in L.A. and Las Vegas for dropping rocks, bikes, scooters, and flammable liquids on California Highway Patrol officers who were trying to stop other protesters from taking over the freeway.

Meanwhile, left-wing podcasters, such as Botox Bertha below, are praising the intimidation of Republicans with threats of more Kirk-like assassinations, and even threatening Democrats that if they fail to similarly call for violence, they'll face the same treatment.

In case you missed it: Antifa tough guy turns into blubbering baby after his arrest.

That's probably the case. I have a co-worker who found out my Republican leanings and said "Yeah, so is my husband".

Those types I agree don't want us dead.

The other co-worker had just admitted, to a newly met co-worker, that she wanted the president dead. This coworker who seemed otherwise perfectly sane.

Those kinds are the scary ones.

Imagine telling someone that you had just met that you wanted the president dead 15 years ago.

30 Completely OT, but hilarious:

Today, we need to consider the most oppressed group in the United States - Harvard students.

Harvard's always-lax grading standards collapsed during Covid, and the average Harvard GPA is now 3.83.

A Harvard office put out a report delicately suggesting that the purpose of grading is to distinguish between levels of academic performance, and that just giving everyone an A doesn't do that, so perhaps Harvard should start handing out B's again.

Harvard students are not taking this well:

Sophie Chumburidze ’29 said the report felt dismissive of students’ hard work and academic struggles.

“The whole entire day, I was crying,” she said. “I skipped classes on Monday, and I was just sobbing in bed because I felt like I try so hard in my classes, and my grades aren’t even the best.”

Kayta A. Aronson ’29 said stricter standards could take a serious toll on students’ mental health.

“It makes me rethink my decision to come to the school,” she said. “I killed myself all throughout high school to try and get into this school. I was looking forward to being fulfilled by my studies now, rather than being killed by them.”

37 More Harvard:

Zahra Rohaninejad ’29 added that grading already felt harsh and raising standards further would only erode students’ ability to enjoy their classes.

“I can’t reach my maximum level of enjoyment just learning the material because I’m so anxious about the midterm, so anxious about the papers, and because I know it’s so harshly graded,” she said. “If that standard is raised even more, it’s unrealistic to assume that people will enjoy their classes.”

69 45 Zahra Rohaninejad ’29 added that grading already felt harsh and raising standards further would only erode students’ ability to enjoy their classes.

“I can’t reach my maximum level of enjoyment just learning the material because I’m so anxious about the midterm, so anxious about the papers, and because I know it’s so harshly graded,” she said. “If that standard is raised even more, it’s unrealistic to assume that people will enjoy their classes.”

137 Holy shit I think I may be on to something. Intersectionality is typically the oppression Olympics for race, sex, gheyness, etc. All about creating new and increasingly granular identity groups for Democrats to exploit. I think this concept has been either consciously or unconsciously imported into physical and mental illness. It's not just for clout and likes (though that it is part of it), collecting diseases is now part of a broader intersectionality bingo card. Gay transwoman immigrant of color just doesn't quite cut it anymore, so you've got to add neurodivergent, binge eating disorder, obesity, AHDH, PCOS, POTS, and whatever the hot new disorder du jour is.

145 Go Banking Rates: These 6 States Are Stepping In To Help SNAP Recipients — Is Yours One of Them? October 30, 2025

In part, "Six states are taking emergency action to protect residents from losing benefits during the shutdown."

California: $80 Million Plus National Guard Deployment
New York: $30 Million Emergency Funding
Louisiana: $150 Million for 800,000 Recipients
New Mexico: $30 Million via EBT Cards
Virginia: State-Funded Benefit Continuation
Minnesota: $4 Million to Food Banks

Important Limitations
These state actions don’t guarantee full replacement of federal benefits. Many states describe their funds as bridges, not complete backfills of federal assistance.

The USDA indicated that states covering benefits with their own funds may not be reimbursed by the federal government. This creates financial pressure on state budgets that may limit how long supplemental funding can continue.

(More in article.)

Anyway, what states have 'big' elections next week? 😉

About 2000, I saw online a student whining about the grades he gave.

Women have to be very careful about taking advice from other women, particularly from women who may be jealous of them. "Somebody" told her that cutting her hair would be a good idea. That "somebody" was undoubtedly a jealous woman. It wasn't a good idea at all--it aged her by 10 years instantly.

I had a pretty Japanese coworker with beautiful long hair.

One of her "friends" convinced her to chop it. And...she looked like a teenage boy.

Her "friend" then had her go to all her coworkers showing it off and sure enough most of them made a pained "oh you look good!" statement. Me? I told them I was late for a meeting and headed out...

226 David Hoffman, YouTube, College Students Demands In The 1960s Were Ridiculous

In part, "A free university in the 1960s was an alternative, experimental form of education that emerged as part of the broader countercultural and political movements of the era. These universities, often called "free schools" or "free universities," were grassroots, student-driven institutions that rejected traditional hierarchical education in favor of open, collaborative learning. They were created to challenge the rigid, authoritarian structures of mainstream academia and to provide an education that was relevant to social change, personal growth, and political activism."

Only saw her in Anyone But You (which is a much ado about nothing retread.) She is not bad in some scenes but has a bland delivery in others. Sometimes she seems fun and vivacious and others flat. I put this down to direction and editing, mostly. She has a charming manner, sometimes.

Almost 20 years ago "Emma" and "Johnathan" were engaged. "Emma" was a tall thin gal, late 20s, with longish-blonde hair. Very cute. They got married and we didn't see either of them for about 2 weeks. When we next saw "Emma", her long-ish blonde hair was replaced by hair that had been cut so short it barely reached her shirt collar. My friend and I looked at each other, and almost in unison whispered "I guess the honeymoon is over".

Canada is way too far, easiest to use the boats to get past Central America and unload them in Mexico (if they're on the Pacific side) The Mexican border is still very porous.

But the smaller boats probably rendezvous with a larger cargo carrier out at sea somwhere. Btw I think it's interesting that most of the boats taken out lately have been Columbian - no wonder Pedro is mad.

Goebbels was a huge Marxist but joined the Nazis because he started hating Jews,

Adolf was into Goebbeling...

358 Do a search on that supposed "deserted island" called "Lizard Island." Spoiler....it's not deserted. There are luxury accommodations there. There are campsites with complimentary gas powered grills there.

359 Why mix Creatine with liquid? It's weak. Dump straight powder on your tongue then chug some water. I do and have the clarity to recognize when the market P/E is 24, then historic returns range from +2% to -2%/annum

360 I might be the only person who has no intention of ever going on a cruise ship.
Posted by: Huck Follywood at October 30, 2025 02:52 PM (LF5Ma)

my mom and sister once went on a cruise on a sailing ship with a limited number of passengers. None of this ugly hotels like a container ship for people. At least your Queen Marys where elegant.

362 The point of Signal is to use the "disappearing" feature. Not quite as bright as her great-great-grandfather.

Nahhh. The purpose of Signal is to fuck with the surveillance state. I send things like grocery lists over it every once in awhile just to mess with their heads.

363 My wife and I sailed on Cunard's Queen Mary II. Incredible Art Deco throughout.

I bought the cruise for the experience, not the destination. It was beautiful.

Is it just me, or does it seem like Scarlet Johansen has a semi-permanent scowl upon her face these days?

She just hit 40.

368 "She allegedly provided Song with a Faraday bag"

They got her for giving him a plastic bag?! Are *any* of those people insufficiently paranoid to have phone bags or leave them at home?

It's going to be some work to show intent there.

Lucky for her, she didn't make him a sandwich too, or she'd _really_ be in trouble.

369 "A Faraday bag is a signal-blocking pouch or container designed to protect electronics from hacking, surveillance, and signal interference by creating a "Faraday cage". Lined with conductive materials, it blocks all incoming and outgoing wireless signals, including cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, RFID, and GPS."

Bit more complex than a mere "plastic bag"
