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 😊♥️ Posted by: Teresa in Fort Worth, Texas, AoSHQ's Plucky Wee One - Eat the Cheesecake, Buy the Yarn. at October 31, 2025 10:12 PM (SRRAx) 36

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. Posted by: SciVo at October 31, 2025 10:16 PM (VB5xp) 50

CR just goes until Nov 21.... three weeks... not worth it. Posted by: Romeo13 at October 31, 2025 10:17 PM (mP0Kj) 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. Posted by: SciVo at October 31, 2025 10:37 PM (VB5xp) 106

Raw liquor tastes better than anise, as do antifreeze and Varsol.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at October 31, 2025 10:30 PM (npFr7) To each their own. I am not fond of licorice but I do like aguardiente. If you mix it with cold water the anise oils turn milky.

Raki is made of grapes, so it is a brandy of sorts. Aguardiente is based on molasses, though traditionally in Colombia and Brazil it was brewed from sugarcane bagasse. Which means there was always the risk of wood alcohol in the finished product.

I have a statue, about 3 feet high, brought back from China by my maternal grandmother, the artist. It is, according to her description, “an example of Hellenistic influence in Asian sculpture”. 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.

Rambo and Terminator rankings are incorrect.
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. Also more sex and nudity in Terminator 1. Better kills and gunplay too.

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.

One of my former coworkers has a little black furry chihuahua that she dressed up in a spider costume today.

It's like they wanted me just to stand there, serving them one after the other. Some of the loons didn't even have their bags out, like I have time to wait for them fumbling with their gear.

Well this was willowed. I guess its better off here anyway.
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. Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at October 31, 2025 07:44 PM (snZF9) 30
We live in a community consisting mostly of retirees, so we never get any kids. Still, I always have this sneaking suspicion that Mrs. Paco may have bought some candy just in case, so I always try to find it, but never do. It's a bit like being trapped in an Edgar Allan Poe story.

We have two kids in our rural neighborhood. Hubby bought a bag of Snickers minis in case they come by.
We canceled out on a Halloween party due to hubby nec’s vertigo. We had planned on going as geriatric bobby sockers, poodle skirt and a walker for me and a white tee with slicked hair and a cane for hubby. Oh well, maybe next year.

My brother went to a party as the original terminator one year. Holy shit, the way he did the costume. He had the jeans, biker leather, the easy parts, but the face...damn. 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.

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.

We don't get any little trick or treaters anymore. Used to but the few families in the neighborhood with kids take them to community events. I miss the little ones. Opening the door and seeing their expressions was priceless. Apparently I reminded them of Haggrid from the Harry Potter movies.

43 Hmmm. Over at insty they link to a piece by Erik Erickson about Billy Kristol.
Didn't Erick Erickson go wobbly during 2020? 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. Posted by: Paco at October 31, 2025 08:08 PM (mADJX) 102

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. Posted by: gKWVE at October 31, 2025 08:14 PM (gKWVE) 111

Paul Lynde, like Garrett, is best taken in very small doses. He had a series in 1972, the Paul Lynde Show. He played a suburban Dad. It was awful. He looked miserable and he made everyone miserable.
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!!

The movie is good anyway." 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. It is NOT fascism to kill Killer Bugs!! No way. No how. Never will be.

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!

A friend of mine who took up acting in her 70's (!) told me that while they aren't hosting trick-or-treaters this year, that in the past, "I did evolve a horribly effective costume, however. 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. Don’t you all look delicious! Mmmmm, yum!” The kids were terrified and so were their parents. It was great…."

Found a VN-era jungle fatigue shirt. Wore that with jeans & steel-toed (ugly) boots and took the belt off of a bathrobe to wear as a headband. Put a walkie-talkie in one of the front pockets.. Rambo-ette, LOL. Kids had no clue. Sad. Posted by: JQ at October 31, 2025 09:23 PM (rdVOm) 281

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."

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. YMMV.

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. Posted by: Fen at October 31, 2025 09:58 PM (aNhid) 353

Rocieries at October 31, 2025 11:19 PM (Q3R3Q) The Week In WokeUK Glamour has chosen its "Women" of the Year. Nine transgenders, Bigots!![]() 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. 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. I can personally attest that conservatives accused of defamation will be destroyed by any left-wing judge hearing their case. 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. Virginians 4 Safe Communities 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

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. Posted by: M.

This story stinks to High Heaven. I am SO very disappointed that Dan and Kash have been unable, or unwilling, to get to the real truth about this shit. I wish I could sit down with Dan (and Paula, if she cares,) and ask him/them about 100 questions, and compel him/them to answer all of them under oath. Then I'd like him to take me to the f'n FBI evidence room, and SHOW me ANY evidence that even still exists. I wouldn't bother talking to Kash; he's owned now.

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.

Also part of the discussion. I had gotten the "I am an adult this is my choice and if you try to talk me out of it I will cut contact" in her email announcing it. Lots of prayers in the meantime. Posted by: blaster at October 31, 2025 06:53 PM (bJ7Iw) 89

Blaster- I sorry and will pray for you and yours. My youngest has struggled with this too. We have a strong relationship and when we discussed it I, as lovingly as I could told her that I would always love her, but never deny truth or reality. She asked if I’d call her “Jordan” and I told her I’d call her any name she wants, if that’s her preference, but never “he” or say she’s a boy. 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. I think mine was, because she seems to have moved on from it.

When I was diagnosed with drop-dead ovarian cancer, my daughter was fifteen and good at it.
I firmly believe--and I've told her---that she's the reason I lived, because I was not going to die while she was angry. Period. I would not leave her that to live with. Ten years later she was wonderful. And is. When I talk to people with girls in that age range, I don't even ask how horrible it is. I just say, you can't believe how much better it's going to get.

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. Posted by: banana Dream at October 31, 2025 07:18 PM (3uBP9) 168

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. Kids like to poke the bear. They like to feel put upon, for some reason. That doesn't give them license to treat the parents badly. Don't let 'em, and mostly it will come out right.

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.

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. Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at October 31, 2025 07:41 PM (snZF9) 247

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

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.

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 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 up into the 8's. Posted by: Crusader at October 31, 2025 05:32 PM (TN0g+) You might bend her over a desk, and maybe a within a few days not give it a second thought. Not sure where on the scale that belongs.

I remember specifically on election night that Harris was at a point where she should consider conceding the election and she said something like, "We'll revisit this around 2 or 3am and make a decision then."
Pair this up with: ((( She said there were 200,000 votes she needed to win that her campaign manager "couldn't find."))) __________________ Seems to me they thought they could cheat, were going to cheat, and then decided not to do the early morning vote drop, much to Harris's entitled chagrin.

The muzzies screwed up a lot of societies.
I have heard a lot about how their subjugation of Russia so affected their culture that it explains why they seem to favor serfdom over freedom. They have been broken to the whip. The so called Tartar yoke. 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.

Two judges say Trump must not suspend SNAP payments and, instead, must use "contingency funds." I guess Trump has a big dduffle bag marked "contingency funds" stuffed with $10,000 dollar bills under his desk. Failing that, I suggest he take the funds from judicial salaries, courthouse security and utilities and whatnot. Actually, I'm not upset about this. Any reason to nuke the filibuster is gone and if Shutdown Schumer doesn't like it, feel free to litigate the starvation of children.
Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks at October 31, 2025 06:14 PM SCOTUS will put a stay on that this weekend I suspect. There is absolutely no law on the books that congress has written that has been signed by the President that says "you must keep a contingency fund of $$$$ to pay out what we unelected judges decree must be paid out" Posted by: Mister Scott (Formerly GWS) at October 31, 2025 06:20 PM (0N4FZ) 149
>>Enough about Mom, the kids are probably cute too!
>>What? I was chatting with mom and I told the girls to take a few. One of the little girls has a future as a grocery store checkout clerk. She was taking candy out of the bowl and putting it in her bag like a machine. Mom had to put the brakes on her. Better she eats it than me.

A congresscrittwr a real job? Ummm yeah... During my evil corporate lobbyist days the laziest job I saw on the Hill was being a congresscritter. The staffers/slaves do all of the work.

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.

Thats what happened at my old house. 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.

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.
Posted by: Grumpy and Recalcitrant +++++ 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. Posted by: Itinerant Alley Butcher at October 31, 2025 06:22 PM (/lPRQ) 157

We're on a dead-end street with 4 houses, 3 houses retired old people like us. Big bowl of candy on the porch with a help yourself sign, lol. Our dogs go nuts when the doorbell rings. Hopefully someone will steal all the candy and we can turn off the porch lights. Posted by: fourseasons at October 31, 2025 06:23 PM (3ek7K) 160

I'd give my kids one night to pig out, then run the rest through the blender and keep it in the freezer. Sprinkle on the top of cheesecake, cookies, ice cream.

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.

162- my parents used to let us pick out some number of pieces (5 or 10) from our stash and the rest got dumped into a communal candy jar (with a big glass lid that was impossible to open or close without a loud “clank”- no sneaking). Then we got to pick out a piece or two while it lasted. Come January it was all sweet tarts and those waxy chew candies.

The cop in that blackmail scheme? Related to the State Senator. Became a cop in his mid 40's. Months after getting job as a cop, he planted the cameras for the blackmail.
I suspect that he actually joined the police for this very purpose. Posted by: EFG at October 31, 2025 06:56 PM (KETMo) WSJ Op-Ed: "Transgenderism" Is a Social Contagion, Science Shows
