Top Story
- PCI SIG has released the final specification for PCIe 7.0, and is busy working on PCIe 8.0. (Liliputing)
PCIe 7.0 runs is twice as fast as PCIe 6.0, which is twice as fast as PCIe 5.0, and so on. Even a single lane of PCIe 7.0 will keep your RTX 4090 happy.
PCIe 6.0 isn't shipping in devices yet, though test rigs are showing up, and PCIe 5.0 graphics cards only appeared six months ago. So don't expect the new slots soon - although PCIe 5.0 motherboards did reach the market surprisingly quickly.
Tech News
- Speaking of PCIe 5.0 don't buy an 8GB graphics card. (YouTube)
Unless it's very cheap. The Radeon 9060 XT and Geforce 5060 Ti both come in 8GB versions, but this has already become the bottleneck for game performance. With the 9060 XT you have 16 lanes of PCIe 5.0 so it at least tries to keep up, but if you're on a budget you might not have a PCIe 5.0 motherboard in the first place, which would cut that bandwidth in half.
And if you only have x8 available on the main slot because you have something else plugged in, by half again.
Which is bad.
And if you don't care about game performance, buy something cheap like the trusty RX 580.
- If you have enough memory, though, this isn't a problem at all. (TechPowerUp)
These guys tested the RTX 4090, and PCIe 3.0 x16 or PCIe 4.0 x8 don't bottleneck this card at all.
If you drop all the way back to PCIe 2.0 for some weird reason, you're still losing only 8% of performance even with this high-end card. The slowdown only become significant when you slow the interface even further.
It's all about the memories.
- Canva now expects you to cheat on your job interview. (The Register)
Half of its staff cheat on a daily basis, so this is now the baseline requirement.
- Meta is offering $2 million salaries to AI developers and still losing staff to other companies. (Tom's Hardware)
Uh.
- The recipients of the CHIPS grants are now mired in state and local approval processes. (Tom's Hardware)
Your government at work.

Caveat emptor, read the fine print, really really closely, hire a lawyer to tear that contract apart and find out where they're setting you up, because at that compensation level, they almost assuredly are.
Oh, and save what they pay you, because when this bubble bursts because everyone catches on that the results are unreliable (which does NOT mesh well with engineering roles) and the liability sue-balls start getting trebuchet-launched back and forth, those jobs are gone like a fart in the wind.

It’s about being more productive, theoretically using Ai should allow a skilled programmer to turn out code at an accelerated rate.
Ai is not going away and it’s only going to become more ubiquitous especially in software development.

Los Angeles—a place that literally began as El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles de Porciúncula, founded by Mexican settlers in 1781. This was once Mexican land, and the people being targeted today are often descendants of those who have lived here for generations— or who came seeking safety, work, and
dignity.

Mexican settlers? Los Angeles was founded by Felipe de Neve y Padilla, a Spanish soldier who served as Governor of the Californias. He was born in Spain, which is in EUROPE. He was EUROPEAN. Governor de Neve's primary motivation was to solidify Spain's claim over the territory.

Nah it was founded by Spain and it was part of New Spain, not “Mexico”.
It only remained part of an independent “Mexico” for a couple of decades. As most territories ceded to the US, it went almost directly from New Spain to the US.
Today’s Mexicans moved there much later on.

Wednesday Overnight Open Thread - June 11, 2025 [TRex]-
Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the overnight variety.
This is the Wednesday night ONT. This is also the school is OUT ONT edition!
Just weeks after Secretary of the Air Force Troy Meinke and USAF chief Gen David Allvin restated the USAF's desire to retire the U-2, a key Congressional committee has said that it should do no such thing. The USAF was planning to cease U-2 operations at the end of September, and retire the fleet during Fiscal Year 2026, which begins on 1st October. But the House Appropriations Committee (HAC) decreed this week that in FY2026, "no funds...may be used to divest or prepare to divest more than eight U-2 aircraft." Further, the Committee provided $55 million "for U-2 programmed depot maintenance [PDM] to fully restore three aircraft."Lockheed PMD funding and operations is the key to keep the U-2 in the air. Apparently there are 31 in inventory: four two-seat trainers and the rest are the standard one-seaters. On a separate but somewhat related note, sounds like lots of pizza being ordered at the Pentagon tonight. Stay tuned.
In 1967, a proposal was made to build the world's first UFO Landing Pad as a landmark for the Town. The Government of Canada responded to this proposition and, during the grand opening on June 3 1967, St. Paul was declared the Centennial Capital of Canada.
Desperate companies don't often turn work away, so when Piero Taruffi knocked on the door in 1966 with plans for a prototype racing car, OSI was only too happy to oblige. The Silver Fox is what they came up with.
Intended to run at Le Mans in the Group B6 small-displacement class, and also set class-specific speed records, the Silver Fox was powered by a 1.0-liter Renault four-cylinder engine with tuning from Alpine. This engine was mounted behind the driver's seat in the left-hand pontoon, with seating for a passenger in the right pontoon. The aerodynamics were very clever, with three separate wings for adjustable downforce. The front wing had to be set when the car was at rest, but the driver could adjust the middle wing mid-race. The contemporary Chaparral 2E had similar technology, and you can think of it as a 1960s-style F1 DRS (drag reduction system). The Silver Fox was certainly an adventurous idea, but the collapse of OSI meant that it would die on the vine, not even properly test-driven. However, given the success of Taruffi's other projects, it might have been very fast indeed. Some sources indicate that a top speed of as much as 150 mph might have been achievable, but when displayed at Como, it was indicated that only around 105 mph might have been expected out of the Alpine 1.0L. Still, Taruffi did more with less.
Should you find and follow all the mystery clicks? Yes you should. Written correspondence can be sent to moronhobbies at protonmail dot com. Are you lurking ?? Come out and play. Unless you're David Hogg. Then just go away.

It's true about Calvin and Hobbes. There are people with so much knowledge about rock musicians, comic book heroes, baseball, dive bars, Mt Everest, 5-star hotels, and every other manner of dispensables that they live in a different universe from me. I, on the other hand, could answer the teacher's question and I've read the complete works of Charles Dickens.

It’s still to this day looked down by the Porsche purists. Mainly because they’re retarded.
But because that, the values of the 996 never rode up like most other 911s. You can get one in great condition for $25-30k today. And it’s still a hell of a car. Just make sure the IMS has been done.

I learned the word 'spelunking' in college because I actually did it. There was a cave near school students regularly visited; some graffitti went back to the nineteen tens and twenties, when it was a military college. Could go about a half-a-mile or so deep down into the hill, with a trickle stream waterfall as your reward. Not many saw that as it was a real trek, with lots of 'crawls' through tight spaces with absultely no give.
Only been into a walking tourist cave since (Ruby Falls). My crawling days were over a long time ago.

Yup, I have a theory that Songs get placed in a differeent part of the brain... because I can remember song lyrics from decades ago... songs I have not heard in years... yet... can't remember shit from yesterday.
Which is why Music is so important to culture... and when Music degrades into 'Beat yer whore'... or 'I wanna kiss the girl'... it has a YUGE impact on culture... vice... Battle of New Orleans, or Balad of Davey Crocket.

Lewis and Clark took with them an Austrian Air Rifle... literally one of the very first Semi Automatic weapons, which could hold up to 20 rounds.
It was powered by a yuge pump... they would march into new territory and invite the Tribes to a demonstration, where they would show off the firepower of that rifle... and suddenly everyone became much more peaceful.
Note, under current California Law, that gun would be illegal.

I tasked myself one time with reading a Dickens novel that was not 'A Christmas Carol' or 'A Tale Of Two Cities'. Bought a paperback copy of 'Bleak House' That was my subway book. It took me well over six months to read it. My gawd, was it boring. I understand why Dickens is considered a great writer but I don't understand why Dickens is considered a great writer.

IMAO, they went after low hanging fruit, someone I've never heard of, not that she doesn't deserve it. When they go after a big-name Congresscritter who gets lots of face time on Democrat TV, let me know. Like every one who went to El Salavdor demanding the release of deportees. I never saw Congresscritters go anywhere else to demand the release of US detainees in places like Russia or China. It's almost as if they knew they were safe and it was all theater. But these are serious politicians, so it can't be that.

His themes. Old as humanity. His writing, however, leaves a lot to be desired, at least it does to me one hundred and fifty years later.
Some old writers still hold weight, though. I reread Livy, Martial, Tacitus and the like, the Penguin Classics. But I will never reread Dickens. Once was more than enough.

Jarndyce v. Jarndyce didn't amuse/entertain you?
The problem with Dickens is the way it's taught. I was spoonfed David Copperfield in 8th Grade: Read a chapter; take a quiz the next day; rinse & repeat. I HATED the book!
50 years later, I read it again... and discovered that I enjoyed it very much.
Dickens transports his readers to mid-Victorian England. You either like seeing what life was like then (I do), or not.

I still like 'Killer', 'Dead Babies' aside. 'Be My Lover' is probably my favorite Cooper song. Vince singing about trying to pick up a girl and being 'from Detroit City'. You don't hear that too often. To me, just a good solid rock song with classic rock lyrics. Never got much airplay which is probably another reason why I still like it.

My Dickens exposure in high school was confined to "Great Expectations" and "A Tale of Two Cities". "Oliver Twist" may have sneaked in there somewhere, but I cannot fathom in which year that might have happened. Definitely never read "A Christmas Carol" nor any others of his works.
"The Mayor of Casterbridge" by Thomas Hardy made an appearance, as did "Pere Goriot" by Balzac.

It's a grounding in The Classics. I get that. Maybe it's the method of teaching The Classics. As mentioned above, read a chapter, a quiz. Maybe then a class discussion. It's not reading for enjoyment. I tried to read 'Bleak House' for enjoyment, not as a part of any curricula. Read it. But never again. What a slog. Can't imagine reading that for a class.
The one area I'm sadly lacking is Classic Russian literature. The kind where the ending is always a stoic 'and they died'. Read a lot of Solzhenitsyn, practically his whole fictional catalogue beyond 'Gulag' (Vols. I, II & III). But that's it.
I blame The Height Of The Cold War for my slack in that area. That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

So Mom died in January. I was her caregiver for 14 years. And also took care of Dad. We were good. Dad and I....no unexpressed thoughts and he was so grateful I was here for them. He passed at 90.
We actually had a great last day together....well...before the stroke.
Mom was in the hospital but we had to go to the city because there was financial stuff to take care of.
We were at the farmer's market. We were looking at carrots. Dad made a math mistake....WHICH NEVER HAPPENED.
At the cash register he froze, someone helped me get him to the car. His speech started to slur. I pulled into a store and they called an ambulance.
Dad was worried about my future. I told him I didn't want anything. 50% with my brother. I was good.
I didn't know my brother would jack around my living situation for almost 6 months.
I was a horrible brother when we were young. I thought we were over that. I took care of our elderly parents for years. He really hates me.

I read where some burg in Alaska airlifted that bus out of the wilderness near Denali National Park in which the drifter numbskull starved himself to death. Their intention was to "restore" it.
How about restoring it by feeding it to an electric arc furnace to put the metal therein to a useful purpose?

To be honest, those riots were my first glimpse into the modern left. Those travelling riots were organized but presented as 'organic' in many places. When you get down to it, those '99 riots were the true beginning of the modern left, at least in The States. The violence became acceptable. Not as much as today but still more than it should have been accepted. We dig into the Mafia but we never dig into the leftist machinery. Hopefully that is going to change. At least by cutting off the funding if nothing more. You can tell when a protest is bought and paid for when you see really glossy and well-produced signage. Not a point the media ever brings up.

As always, who's giving those orders? The ones saying it are just reapeating what they've been told to say by . . . whom? Soros is an obvious answer, but he's too wlell-known to be the actual order-giver. He's like Epstein. He's a funneler and a funder. He has things on people. But he's not what I call The Cabal. Nothing else fits. Some ultra-mega rich dudes and dudettes deciding the fates of billions. All the while they are nice and cozy. I have no other explanation because something's 'off' in this world. And the hell of it is, we were funding it as well. National suicide.

'Taxman' by the Beatles should be the theme song of every anti-government protest. If the protest is not about reining in government spending, then the 'anti-government' protest is a sham. Government is not, and never has been, my Daddy. I was educated to be wary of government, even ours. But when Uncle Sugar hands out the candy, well, things change.
But damn. Those '60s! Well, techinically '70s, released in 1970. Close enough. There were some great lyrics back then. Not just about puppy love. Some honest to gawd poets who could set the stuff to music. An art in itself. Sometimes that's why songs can sound repititious due to using the same easing-rhyming words.

I've wondered if they could be tourists/researchers from a distant future who've cracked the time travel problem. Dismissed it as not likely but interesting to think about.
Or they could be among us and advanced enough to remain concealed.

Pretty much what all our conspiracy theories that we know to be true, are true. He was underage, was arrested / released multiple times. Attorneys on standby to bail him out. Bussed from city to city, paid in cash, got a "one sheet" of instructions, paid motel, etc. Pretty much validated what we all know, but the legacy media and "polite" folk ignore and/or deny. He knew he f*cked up. Did not hire him.

The time traveler hypothesis is a fascinating one. Are the "aliens" just some advanced form of "us" from the far-future that has evolved greatly, or some other species from the far future.
Based on known physics so far, time-travel is just....highly, *highly* problematic. Consider the famous grandfather paradox. That's a show stopper, a true paradox. But, imagine we somehow rule out such contradictions.
You can still have all sorts of perverse stuff that are logically consistent and don't lead to contradictions. Consider a causal loop. Rather than going back in time and killing your grandfather, you go back in time, stumble across you grandfather as a child about to be killed, and you save him. You are now your own cause. You exist because you exist. That is equally perverse.

From what I knew about the Deadheads, they were migratory by nature and age. there were always fellow acolytes in and city for support. There was money, from the families or trust funds of some, (very) occasional odd jobs, and marijuana sales.
It was a community of Fellow Believers and Travelers, who were there for The Scene.
But now with Soros and USAID and all kinds of money.

Yeah, my curiosity went there too. I came back to that question multiple times with him - he didn't know. I'm of age and experience that he wasn't lying or hiding - he was very transparent.

It gets serious once you're 18, depending on the type of protest at which you get arrested. The non-violent civil rights ones, not so much. But arrested for violence is completely different. You might actually go to jail at 18.

"In the Mat-Su, however, No Kings activists plan to infiltrate the historic Palmer Colony Days Parade by officially marching down main street with anti-Trump banners and signage.
Other Alaska protests are scheduled in following communities: Ketchikan, Juneau, Gustavus, Haines, Valdez, Copper Basin, Palmer, Anchorage, Soldotna, Homer, Kodiak, Healy, Fairbanks, Nome and Kotzebue."
Why? What are they hoping to accomplish? They might as well "march for science" for all the good it will do. The number of folks in most of those communities would not fill a decent sized football stadium.
And WTF is "Copper Basin?" That's an area, not a town.

I don't see how mocking a parade for the 250th anniversary of the US military is in any way consistent with that, though. Like his father he is really inconsistent with his purity, but loves to hear himself talk. He seems to have fewer acolytes than his dad did, though.

Unfair!
And we don't care what the threat environment for US stormtroopers is in Syria and Iraq, if any are there they must outnumber stormtroopers deployed anywhere in the US by Drumpf!

Here's what I zoomed in on: "protecting a tiny two-block complex of Federal buildings in LA!"
Which is so Nazi, because that's the main thing Nazis did was protect government buildings from rioters.
I thought that were wading into the crowds like they were trying to take an enemy town.
But worse they're doing a job that if you don't try to vandalize a federal building--if you can keep that much in your pants--you won't run into them.
Just like I heard the NG's job was mainly to protect that LAPD while they were doing their jobs. Even somebody from DU was quoted as saying they've only seen clashes with the LAPD.
But there is so much spinning to do.

I fundamentally disagree.
Organizing the event. Coordinating with other agencies. Issuing an operations order. Transporting soldiers and equipment to a specific place and time. Ongoing maintenance, housing and feeding the troops. Provide medical care. Review and rehearsal
of the operation. Conduct of the operation. React to unexpected issues. And then recovery.
This is pretty much what the soldiers were going to do in one way or another anyway. The costs are sunk costs.
And at the end of the day, it is a hell of a recruiting event.

Quick Hits
It wasn't just the UK Guardian -- most of the Democrat-Media Party "news" organizations lied about inflation going up, despite the fact that the 0.1% increase is, effectively, no inflation at all. Remember, the Fed aims for a 2% yearly rate.

Some headlines from the msm today ABC "News": Inflation ticket Higher In May Amis Trump Tarriffs USA Today: CPI Report reveals inflation crept higher CBS: Inflation edged higher in May Oddly yahoo and nbc have the most fair headline Yahoo: inflation pressures ease on a monthly basis NBC: May inflation shows prices held steady Posted by: Its Go Time DonaldFire them all:
When the Trump administration swept into the Department of Justice on Jan. 20, it moved swiftly to purge, demote, transfer and otherwise sideline career lawyers not perceived to be team players or sufficiently committed to the MAGA legal agenda. Amid the upheaval and exodus of longtime federal prosecutors, one quiet 10th floor office in a remote outpost of the Justice Department has come to symbolize the withering impact of changes at the agency. Those who work there call it "the rubber room." Inside, nearly a dozen of the government's most seasoned civil rights, environmental and national security lawyers have been reconstituted as members of a newly created group called the Sanctuary Cities task force. At first glance, the job seemed promising -- a legal strike team that would sue municipalities the administration claimed were facilitating the violation of immigration laws, a task force undertaking a top priority for the new Justice Department leadership. But the more these attorneys looked into it, the more they concluded the task force was a sham, a Potemkin operation that seemed more aimed at stashing away career lawyers than putting them to work on a legitimate legal project, according to interviews with six people knowledgeable about the task force, all of whom painted a similar picture. Lawyers there have been assigned menial research tasks and left with hours of idle time -- an effort they view as intended to coerce them into resigning, those with knowledge of the task force said. "This is a hard thing to talk about," said Tom Mariani, an environmental litigator who resigned rather than accept reassignment to the rubber room. "I can't tell you how much personal distress I feel over how these folks were treated." The term rubber room is an allusion to now-infamous "reassignment centers" where New York City officials transferred public school teachers and administrators who some considered burned out or incompetent, but who could not be fired because of union rules. But in this case, those being transferred have been elite veteran attorneys from the Civil Rights Division, the National Security Division and the Environment and Natural Resources Division whose performance had not previously been questioned.LOL. These people all worked on left-wing politicized lawsuits and prosecutions. They have been previously questioned, of course. It's just that the left supports the use of the DOJ as a tool of partisan warfare.
They're fucking hacks who took a job because the hours are good, the pay is good, and it's almost impossible to get fired. Stop pretending that they're sacrificing to take law jobs that do not require constant overtime work on the weekends the way lawyers in private firms have to do.
... None would comment for this story, fearing retaliation from the administration. But public interest lawyers and government watchdogs say their experience stands apart as an example of how callously civil servants who have dedicated their professional lives to public service have been treated.
Toronto will open a black-only homeless shelter, with all other races excluded.
The emails began arriving in the third week of January from then-Acting Attorney General James McHenry, landing in the inboxes of some of the Justice Department's most senior career attorneys, notifying them that they were being transferred to the newly created Sanctuary Cities Enforcement Working Group and had 15 days to decide whether to take the new assignment or resign. ...
Those who did accept the assignment arrived in the isolated offices during what some called a Department of Justice in turmoil, former senior prosecutors told CBS News. ... The lawyers continued coming into 2Con each morning but had to find activities to occupy their time. Some completed jigsaw puzzles and streamed television shows like "The Last of Us" and "Succession." One lawyer, Deborah Harris, whose previous job had been head of the Environment and Natural Resources Division's crimes section, could be seen practicing Italian on Duolingo. ... The rubber room is just the latest in a series of personnel moves that critics of the administration have tracked. Some have been demoted within their own units. Bruce Swartz, the highly respected head of the Office of International Affairs, was notified by email that he was being transferred to the office's training program, a job that fell several rungs below his position. He opted to resign.
Toronto officials are taking applications until Friday for city council's new "Black-mandated" shelter, where everyone from employees to the homeless could be excluded on the basis of race.
City Hall has also decreed that experience in running a shelter is not a requirement for those submitting applications. The city's shelter and support services division says the new shelter will help make Toronto's services "reflective of the diversity of the city," but offered no specifics as to where it would go or when it might open. A city document says shelter services is developing "at least one Black-mandated shelter" by 2033. That document -- a set of guidelines for prospective applicants for the shelter contract -- says the intention is "to provide opportunities" for Black-mandated non-profits, "also referred to as B3," the document says. It defines a B3 as "an organization that is led by a majority of paid staff and board members who self-identify as Black or are of African descent." A B3 must serve "Toronto's diverse Black communities," both in practice and in an explicit mandate. While an applicant must meet those requirements to be eligible, one thing that isn't required is experience in running a shelter. Shelter services "welcomes applications" from B3s "with less than one year of experience operating a shelter," the document says, but such groups are "encouraged" to find a mentor. The expectations are unclear, as the document at another point references B3s that haven't operated a shelter for a year "but do have experience in providing other services to Black individuals experiencing homelessness." Meanwhile, a slide deck from an April presentation says applicants without a year of experience "will be required" to find mentors, including for shelter operations and asset management.
The guidelines document is 22 pages long, and includes a four-page glossary of terms such as "anti-racism," "diaspora," "interpersonal racism" and "structural racism." The section on providing financial details, meanwhile, consists of two short paragraphs. The document lists a number of operational requirements for the shelter, such as running 24/7 all year long and committing to audits by City Hall. Some of the requirements appear specific to this shelter, such as stipulated "safe spaces for Black clients and staff," "culturally appropriate food and nutrition" and Black-specific toiletries and hygiene products as laid out in the city's confronting anti-Black racism, or CABR, directives.
In case you missed it: The Biden-controlled Secret Service made sure they destroyed the evidence in the White House cocaine case the moment after they issued their cover-up report.
I wonder if any DOJ lawyers who helped cover up the Biden cocaine scandal are in the rubber room. Fox Nation has a special about the Trump McDonald's Shift.
Two years after the U.S. Secret Service discovered a bag of cocaine in the White House in July, 2023, documents showing orders for its destruction within 24 hours after the agency closed the case are raising new questions about the scrupulousness of the investigation. A U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency document titled "Destruction" states that the bag of cocaine was sent to the Metropolitan Police Department for incineration. That document, obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, doesn't display a date for the destruction. But other internal Secret Service records show that the cocaine was tested by the Secret Service, the D.C. Fire Department hazmat technicians, and the FBI before being sent back to the Secret Service for storage on July 12. Two days later, it was transferred to the D.C. police department for destruction. The Secret Service shut down the cocaine investigation 11 days after discovering it. The destruction of narcotics evidence must comply with environmental and safety regulations, and the D.C. police department has an Environmental Protection Agency-approved incinerator that federal agencies often use to destroy narcotics that are not involved in active legal cases. D.C. police officials referred all questions about the cocaine's apparent destruction to the FBI. There's no entry or date for the cocaine's actual destruction. Early last week, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino announced that he was re-opening the investigation into the cocaine found in the White House, as well as the leak of the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade and the discovery of a pipe bomb at the Democratic National Committee headquarters on Jan. 6, 2021. Bongino reiterated his commitment to getting to the bottom of those cases in a Wednesday night interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity. "Well, I get a kick out of it on social media," Bongino said. "People say, 'This case isn't a big deal. I don't care.' Well, I care. ... You don't care that a [potentially] hazardous substance made its way into the White House? We didn't know what it was, and we don't seem to have answers? Well, we're going to get them. I've got a great team on it."
Fox Nation is offering a rare glimpse into Donald Trump's pivotal McDonald's visit during the final weeks of his 2024 campaign with a multi-episode installment of "The Art of the Surge." It all starts at a McDonald's drive-thru, where the then-GOP nominee traded a suit for an apron and got to work as a fry cook in Feasterville, Pennsylvania last October. "I've always wanted to work at McDonald's, and I never did," he told workers inside the building. The first episode of the series documents Trump's "first day" on the job from the very beginning, as he requested to work the french fry cooker and learned the process. He walked through, step-by-step, dunking fries into hot oil, shaking the basket, pouring servings into the signature red McDonald's cartons and sprinkling salt over them. It became an iconic moment on the campaign trail as the notorious New York City business magnate-turned-president performed a job many Americans have had at one point in their lives. He even greeted customers wrapped around the building at the drive-thru window. As one family took a Happy Meal from his hands he quipped with a smile, "It's going to be the best you've ever had. It had better be. I made it myself." Customers passed on their messages of encouragement as the high-stakes faceoff with then-vice president and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris was merely two weeks away, with both teams in a mad sprint to the finish line. "Make America great again!" one driver said. ... "I could do this all day. I wouldn't mind this job," he said. Trump's efforts were viewed by many as a mockery of a claim his opponent had worked for the fast food chain while in college. At one point, Trump even remarked, "I've now worked for 15 minutes. Fifteen more than Kamala."

I just want to say -- aint that the truth. Don't forget, they also get their student loans forgiven after 10 years for being "public servants."
I know a decent number of lawyers who went to work for government -- fine pay, great hours, amazing benefits, and minimal work required. They are not making *any* sacrifices working for government.

The grand jury just handed down indictments for LaMonica McIver. She's looking at up to 17 years in a "more structured environment" for assault on federal agents.

I suspect that this has happened a LOT in the bureaucracy, tucking people away in smart and important sounding areas, redefining jobs and keeping the same responsibilities, "firing" people by moving them to another position, etc. All they have to do is wait out 4 years and they might get everything back the way they want it.

We don't have general AI yet, but the AI we do have is getting damn good damn fast. Tesla's self driving cars are wizardry. AI videos are getting harder and harder to spot. When I ask Grok programming questions, it's getting to the point where I can copy and paste with almost no edits. An AI just competed against international level drone racing pilots and beat them. Stockfish isn't exactly AI, but it regularly stomps the best chess players on the planet.

The flexible whip that LAPD mounted might be using?
The sjambok or litupa, is a heavy leather whip. It is traditionally made from adult hippopotamus or rhinoceros hide, but it is also commonly made out of plastic. The resulting whip is both flexible and durable. A plastic version was made for the apartheid era South African Police, and used for riot control.
Peter Hathaway Capstick describes a sjambok as a short swordlike whip made from rhino pizzle leather that could lay a man open like a straight razor.
And yes, Cold Steel sells them.

My big idea was always to furlough all the malignant federal employees, sell off the office supplies, and rent out the space. We'd be better off with them sitting at home harmlessly collecting checks. (Not sure, but I think their names would be findable in the federal register, too.)

Back in the Reagan days, I remember a WaPo story about the wretched plight of some fed workers whose job had been to organize unions. Now they had nothing to do, though they still had jobs. The story clearly expected everyone to sympathize.

This right here is the statistic of the year.
The commie left opened the floodgates and let in millions of immigrants, blithely assuming that they would all eventually be default Democratic voters. And that this would tip the national vote in their favor forever.
Instead, the immigrant vote ended up being split about 50/50, so the Dems' entire strategy backfired and did nothing to help them at all. Meanwhile, all the non-immigrant voters (also known as "Americans") grew Angry at the Dems opening the floodgates, and all trended toward Trump. End result: 2024 landslide for Trump, and ever since all news cycles make Trump look good and the Dems look bad.
They have painted themselves into a corner and now have no way out. Everything they try to do, ends up hurting themselves. It's own-goal after own-goal after own-goal.
Absolutely glorious.

They were people so bad that the City could not allow them near children, but still could not be fired. Some had other charges but mostly violent. Some where nuts and volatile but all were so bad they could not even allow them inside a real school.
None could be fired. The kiddie diddlers could eventually be fired but only after conviction and union based appeals.

It's funny, because for decades it is thought that the way the conquistadors beat such overwhelming forces was "technology" of guns and armor and stuff.
Now, there are historians that believe that the Spanish staged slave and serf revolts to overtake the native rulers.
They may have used the people oppressed by the Aztecs and Mayans to overthrow their major centers of power.

I know wikipedia is a pit, but I looked up GHF and it's as bad as I've seen. First paragraph: "As of June 10, 2025, more than 130 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces while journeying to GHF sites or during "aid distribution".
Link from there to a list of aid site "massacres": "On 1 June 2025, the IDF killed 32 civilians and wounded over 250 at the aid centre in Rafah".

The US, in cooperation with Israel, started a food distribution system to supplant the corrupt system of UNRWA and Hamas. GHF is an NGO contracted to carry out the aid distribution. The idea is to break the dependency of Gazans on the corrupt system, thereby weakening Hamas' hold on power.
It's showing great promise. The fact that Hamas is now attacking them shows how threatened they are.

There are some US mercs to prevent Hamas from stealing the aid. The IDF provides security at a distance.

Karen Bass Declares a State of Emergency and Imposes a Curfew While Also Insisting There Is No Crisis At All
If there's no crisis, then it was illegal to declare an emergency, Cuban Communist.
Weird how there's a crisis when Bass says there's one but there's not a crisis when Trump says there's one. Even more weird: It's the same situation in both cases. Bass declares a crisis then says that Trump is wrong to say it's a crisis. It's Schroedinger's Crisis. There's only a crisis when and to the extent a Democrat allows there to be one.Mayor Karen Bass announced a curfew for Downtown Los Angeles after five straight days of violence and mayhem that has marred much of the neighborhood around the federal buildings where immigrants rounded up in a series of raids are being held and prosecuted. "The curfew will be in place from 8 p.m. tonight until 6 a.m. tomorrow," announced Bass, adding that it could last for several days and would be reevaluated tomorrow. "Everyone must abide by this curfew." Bass said a "local emergency" has been declared and that the curfew was necessary because of what she called "extensive widespread vandalism" that includes profanity-laced graffiti scrawled on City Hall, an LAPD building, and rampant destruction in public parks and at private businesses. Bass said she was dismayed that 23 businesses were looted, while multiple historical landmarks in Little Tokyo along with immigrant-owned businesses, were heavily damaged. Los Angeles Police Department Chief Jim McDonnell said that anyone who violates the curfew "will be arrested." The curfew's boundaries will encompass the area encircled by the 5 Freeway, the 110 Freeway, and the 10 Freeway and end where the 5 Freeway and the 110 Freeway merge. "The curfew is a necessary measure to protect lives and safeguard property, following several consecutive days of growing unrest throughout the city," McDonnell said. "Since Saturday, we have seen a concerning escalation in unlawful and dangerous behavior."Despite declaring a crisis empowering her to impose a curfew, this Communist Castro-Lover went on to the leftwing propaganda stations to insist there was no crisis at all, and if there is a crisis, the crisis is only happening because Trump sent in troops to protect federal property from the crisis.
🚨LA Mayor Bass again calls for ICE raids to end; claims there is no crisis in Los Angeles:

Pace communist revolutionary Karen Bass, LA police seem to believe there is a crisis that they cannot control on their own.
John Sexton has a post rounding up all the Democrat-Media Party propagandists who insist that, despite what you can see with your own eyes, there is no violence or chaos in Los Angeles. And then they add, as usual: The thing you can see is happening is not happening, but if it is happening, it's good that it's happening, and it's all Trump's fault anyway. CNN's head of media propaganda operations Tater continues insisting that there are no cars burning in LA, and even if you see video of cars burning in LA, those are from several hours ago so you should ignore them as Old News.
Los Angeles cops have a private chatroom -- and California's Democratic leaders won't like what they're saying. The Instagram group 'Defend the LAPD' allows officers and commanders to talk freely about what's really going on in the streets of America's second-biggest city, where cops clash daily with anti-government rioters. The Daily Mail gained exclusive access to the 8,500-member club and spoke to its organizers -- and the views they presented were a stark rebuke to Gov Gavin Newsom and other leaders of the Democrat-run state. Despite what their bosses say, LAPD officers broadly support the Trump administration's deployment of the National Guard to protect federal buildings amid a wave of sometimes violent protests against immigration raids, says the group. Members also expressed alarm at LA Mayor Karen Bass, a Democrat, for allegedly taking command of their control room, delaying the deployment of officers, and putting federal agents and the public in danger. They also accused media outlets of one-sided coverage of the protests, by focussing on heavy-handed policing while overlooking the threat that some violent activists posed to cops and the public. More broadly, they say the city has 'quietly defunded' the LAPD since the George Floyd protests of 2020, and that today's force is understaffed, underresourced, and cannot handle the crisis exploding on the streets. The revelations come as US Marines head to Los Angeles, as part of a federal strategy to quell the protests against immigration raids, which are a signature effort of President Donald Trump's second term. Clashes across LA have further polarized America's two main political parties, with Trump threatening to arrest Newsom, who slams the deployment of guardsmen as an abuse of power and an unnecessary provocation. The LAPD, the official police union, and Mayor Bass's office did not immediately respond to our requests for comment. A spokesperson for Defend the LAPD, which presents itself as a grassroots club for thousands of LA cops and their supporters, told the Daily Mail that officers of all ranks appreciate the backup of Trump's National Guard deployment. 'Everyone supports all the help they can get,' said the spokesperson. 'We need the help from other agencies, because we can't handle it. Our asses are being handed to us on a platter.' While Gov Newsom says the National Guard are not needed and part of Trump's 'manufactured' crisis, the spokesperson said this was 'not true,' and that extra boots helped keep the streets safe. 'They're here because we don't have enough personnel, after all the back door defunding they have done for years,' said the spokesperson.
Brian StelterLast weekend's clashes? Karen Bass declared an emergency and a curfew last fucking night. Maxine Waters: There is no violence, and also, the violence is Trump's fault. Nancy Pelosi: Where you see violence and cars burning like a once-great American city has become a Muslim no-go banlieu in France, I see an "exuberance of hope and joy." Here's more "exuberance," as Nancy Pelosi terms it. Mike Barnicle: The videos you're seeing are "not really accurate," you should listen to the people who constantly gaslight you to tell you what is really going on. Ignore what you can see on videos, trust the people who told you that covid was created when a bat frigged a pangolin.
@brianstelter Offline, in real-world Los Angeles, most Angelenos are having a perfectly normal day. But online, the fires and riots are still raging. Seeking clicks, clout and chaos, unvetted social media accounts are preying on fears about where last weekend's clashes will lead...

Late Night Propaganda: Kimmel says LA 'protests' are mostly peaceful: “There's no riot outside." pic.twitter.com/Z9iTSmXLhv
— Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) June 11, 2025
Los Angeles-based comedian Jimmy Kimmel told his audience on Tuesday that "there's no riots outside" and slammed "mentally ill" President Donald Trump for deploying troops to quell what he claims is exaggerated unrest in the city. Trump sent over 700 Marines to Los Angeles in an effort to quash anti-ICE protests that have ravaged parts of the city on Tuesday. Images from L.A. showcase masked protesters blocking roads, destroying vehicles and engaging with police, while Mayor Karen Bass issued a curfew for a portion of the city's downtown area. Kimmel mocked the media for portraying the anti-ICE protests as "some kind of totalitarian hellscape" and condemned the Trump administration for deporting "people who have lived here their whole lives." "You won't see this elsewhere on television. Not only is it not an apocalypse, they're having a Disney/Pixar movie premiere for 'Elio,' a movie about aliens. Don't tell Trump -- he'll send in the Green Berets, too," Kimmel ribbed. "But I just want to say, thank God for President Trump and the heroes at ICE for protecting us from these bloodthirsty fruit stand vendors spreading their dangerous pineapple chunks and mangos with a squirt of lime all over the city." The late-night host vented his anger towards the ICE raids in the city, claiming that the "vast majority" of those being deported have "never done anything wrong." "People who have lived here their whole lives, people who have been in this city longer than I have, the vast majority of whom have never done anything wrong, are being abducted, which is the correct word to use, by agents in masks, hiding their identities, grabbing people off the street and at work, sending people to detention centers," he claimed. Kimmel asserted that it's not only Los Angelenos' right to protest the deportations, but it's their "responsibility." "Los Angelenos gathered to demonstrate and, with very few exceptions, peacefully demonstrate to voice their opposition to this disgusting and unnecessary abuse of power instigated by our mentally ill president, who is dead-set on exacerbating this, who actually wants conflict, who is intentionally inflaming and lying to make it seem like there's a war going on," he charged.
He showed video from just outside his studio -- one of the most policed areas in LA -- to prove that there weren't riots anywhere in LA. He did not think that disappointed Trump supporters who saw a lot of shenanigans on election night 2020 had the "responsibility" to protest. He condemned them as "scumbags" and declared them to be un-American.
Jimmy Kimmel didn't mince words during his opening monologue Wednesday night as he discussed the far-right mob that invaded the U.S. Capitol building. He didn't just go after the terrorists who occupied the Capitol all day -- he also went after the Republicans in the government who incited them to violence. "It was a terrible day in the history of this country. Our President and the scumbags who have kept this 'stolen election' charade going -- and that's you, Josh Hawley, that's you, Ted Cruz -- either intentionally or just wildly irresponsibly lit these fires to start a war just to distract us from the fact that Donald Trump lost the election," Kimmel said. "Ted Cruz, this guy doesn't even believe the election was stolen. He knows better than that. He is so hungry for political power. He's so desperate to be liked and supported by these nuts who think Joe Biden is a Chinese agent and Satan is trying to force them to wear masks to the mall, so that one day he can be President. He's willing to roll the dice on a civil war."I'm now wiling to roll those dice, pea-dick.
But, Kimmel wanted to stress, it wasn't just Cruz who was rolling those dice. "Same with Josh Hawley, who had a friendly wave with the invaders today. Same with Kevin McCarthy and Rudy Giuliani, Jim Jordan, Devin Nunes, and especially Donald Trump," he said. But Kimmel wasn't content with just calling them out. "These people are not Americans. There is no 'we the people.' 'There's 'me the people' and that's it," Kimmel said bitterly.And now he says there are no riots, and if there are riots, it's people's "responsibility" to riot.
Parsons was Winston's fellow-employee at the Ministry of Truth. He was a fattish but active man of paralysing stupidity, a mass of imbecile enthusiasms -- one of those completely unquestioning, devoted drudges on whom, more even than on the Thought Police, the stability of the Party depended. -- George Orwell, 1984
Many people are noticing that the media, which just insisted that it had nothing at all to do with the "Cheapfakes" hoax to cover up Biden's obvious, caught-on-video cognitive decline is engaging in a Cheapfakes 2.0 hoax, claiming, just as they did with Biden, that you can't trust what you see on video, you have to listen to the left-wing "experts" who will "contextualize" what is plainly evident and convince you that you didn't see what you saw.

I doubt that they waited until it was a full blown riot to read it. Even if it had been, say 80% people who hadn't gotten out of hand, you'd still probably want to nip it in the bud before it got to 20% violent.
It seems that the progressive complete disregard for the application of history is in view here.
Seems to me that you want to invoke riot statutes--probably LONG--before you're over 50% violent actors. I'm no expert in crowd control and policing, but I'm just thinking that's too late.

That don't happen without the city and county of Los Angeles cooperating and agreeing.
So, while Bass and Newsome were cheering on the riots in public, they were authorizing sheriff deputies from other counties and the state police to arrest them.

*If* the troops bust the crap up, yes.
I'll be a little eeyore-ish here and note that so far the troops are only protecting federal buildings. That's probably kept the activists to areas where they know they're protected, but it's not actually addressing, much less ending the riots.
At some point, and I don't know when, folks are going to notice Trump promised to shut it down, but it's still ongoing, even if the federal buildings are undisturbed.

The Title 10 use of USMC and NG was/is to secure federal facilities. Pretty simple. They're not "restoring order" - even on the street in front of federal buildings. Obviously there was nothing the least bit illegal or unconstitutional or even remotely interesting about this move. So of course the airhead Dem rhetoric escalates to 11.
And the curfew applied to a square mile. A square mile. In a contiguous urban area as large as the state of CT, a square mile. So "let it burn" is particularly comical and stupid in this case. As "it" is a very small area.
But all these reactions are what one has come to expect.

1) someone pointed out how the media, none of them, are interviewing any of the rioters.
That's some dark Antifa message control, where only "approved" media is allowed.
And, it looks like, the price for approval is their silence.
2) I'd note that, for all the rage and hatred the rioters have been directing at the police, the videos I've seen show them generally smiling and relaxed.
Which flows from knowing that the nightmare of constant no-win situations--due to racial antagonism from the DOJ on up--is over:
The President of the United States is on their side now.

"Riot" has such a negative connotation. I'd prefer they call what's going on in Los Angeles "performance art." Performance art is interesting only in the fact that the first few minutes in figuring out what the hell the lunatic is up to. And, "performance art" can be anything from some nitwit pissing on an electric fence to a tiny annoying yapping dog being tied to about 50 helium balloons and floating off towards Nevada.
It's not a riot if you are looking forward to enjoying the hypocritical pain of the contestants.

I once read about how a lot of mid-level Hollywood assholes got a serious wake-up call during the Rodney King riots back in '92. There was an awards show going on and the rioters broke through and got into the street outside. It was bad enough that the theater management locked them inside and wouldn't let them leave in fear of having celebrities getting their skulls caved in on live TV with the theater in the background of the shot.
Several of those Hollywood types went from anti-gun, to full-on Ted Nugent mode.

Like most revolts it failed in the first hours. Trump didn't panic in either direction, blamed the guilty and now the information is starting to get out about the bad actors. The state government is starting to trim and play both sides. Likely the national riots will fizzle without communist remote control.

I'm going to make a guess about that. China is in pretty deep with Iran concerning the nuclear program. I'm willing to bet that their involvement in that regard was part of the economic mediation between the US and China. The same is likely a peripheral issue at the Russia/Ukraine bargaining table.
Trump pulled out of the Iranian negotiations because now he's going to tank Iran's economy (which is currently sitting at over 35% inflation with the chance to got up near 50% in the not too distant future).
Get ready. The next Iranian revolution is in play.

This is the text I mention above.
The retiring minister of defense lays out the plan to eliminate USA hegemony and USA people through genocide.
This is not new (although I can not vouch for the accuracy of the speech or translation.) China got extremely radical under Mao and then all those radical commies moved up and now run things. They claim all lands that are "yellow" (Taiwan, VN, Japan,....) and expect to rule it in time. They also plan to expand territory into other lands. It is just a matter of time.

Elon Musk: I'm Sorry, My Late Night Attacks on Trump "Went Too Far"
Our long short national nightmare diversion is over.
President Trump is feeling good about Elon Musk's apology after the former "first buddy" admitted late Tuesday he had gone "too far" in his personal attacks on the commander-in-chief. "I thought it was very nice that he did that," the president told The Post in a brief phone conversation Wednesday morning, but didn't say whether he was willing to let bygones be bygones with the Tesla and SpaceX CEO. Musk, 53, went off on Trump in a series of social media messages this past Thursday, at one point claiming the Republican would not have won the 2024 election without his help and suggesting the president was responsible for preventing the release of files on convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein due to his past association with the late financier. "I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week. They went too far," Musk wrote late Tuesday after previously deleting his post about the Epstein files.
... Trump told Post columnist Miranda Devine Monday that he doesn't "blame" Musk for the blow-up that started with the former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) figure's criticisms of the Big Beautiful Bill -- but maintained that he's "a little disappointed." "Look, I have no hard feelings," Trump said. "I was really surprised that that happened. He went after a bill that's phenomenal. ...He just -- I think he feels very badly that he said that, actually."
When asked whether he would ever go back to a regular relationship with Musk, Trump told Devine's "Pod Force One" podcast: "I guess I could, but we have to straighten out the country." "And my sole function now is getting this country back to a level higher than it's ever been. And I think we can do that."

It depends on what your definition of real is.
But thelibertydaily.com seems to have what you might be looking for.
It has more links from off-brands than Citizen Free Press (Kaine loves his X links and links to articles from Wyoming) and Rantingly (who likes mainstream links and is much more tame - like a pre-2017 Drudge).

Elon has had his life and livelihood threatened for his DOGE, and it must have been a gut punch when DC behaved like DC and didnt immediately make the cuts permanent.
Not excusing his behavior, but also not that upset.

We'll never get the slashing of funds we want, but the slowing of growth, the barriers put up to prevent it from snapping back, and the increasing growth in the economy are all steps in the right direction.

I've been saying this for weeks which apparently nobody listened to. It's the first round not the final total.
Trump's Director of the OMB, Russ Vought, has been saying for weeks that they chose these relatively small cuts to test the process and the appetite for these cuts. If it works they will send more substantial ones. If it doesn't they have other means at their disposal.
And some of the discretionary spending will expire without any action because it was short term spending and not an annual outlay.

Information goes a little differently with me, though. I don't buy into any one view. I don't swallow information simply because I use it.

IIRC, he even started offering cots to employees that wanted to show him their stuff.
Again, overall, although I think the cuts were his business--especially the overspending for chefs and crap--how late people work and where people sleep is not.

Where did you get this idea from? This was at the start of Covid, Elon was liberal, his ex-wife and mother of the child is a liberal Canadian, he was living with someone who was also liberal and he was being told his child would commit suicide if he did not do this. He was told it could be reversed. This was actually the catalyst for his red pilling. If you are being told your child will die by his mother, the therapist, the psychiatrist, your girlfriend, and you are part of that tribe, the manipulation is horrific. Elon’s child has zero relationship with him now, because Elon is opposed to what happened and is happening. It’s really a terrible situation all the way around.

His testube babies with high IQ women at NeuraLink?
His implanting brain chips in humans?

The New Jersey Turnpike Authority asked Tesla to decommission dozens of reliable Superchargers along the key highway corridor. Jun 2, 25
Bullet points -
Electric vehicle drivers in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania will be majorly affected by the removal of dozens of Tesla Superchargers along the Interstate 95.
Applegreen Electric chargers will take their place. The two networks co-exist at some plazas. Going forward, they won't be allowed to co-locate.
Tesla offered better terms and upgrades. But NJTA awarded exclusive rights to Applegreen for the chargers at travel plazas along the Turnpike.
In small part, "Applegreen is an Irish company which operates travel plazas in the U.K., Ireland and the U.S.—many of which are on the NJ Turnpike."

My friend is trying to find alternate resources than the existing therapist who has been pushing the trans stuff but when he goes out to try and find non-trans therapists, they don't exist... or at least he can't find any in the Vegas area.
My friend is extremely religious... he saw some shit in the GWOT and has sent people to meet Jesus - so I'm kind of worried about the whole situation.

Well put.
Again, I think Musk's engineer mindset is you manipulate problems out of your way. And while that's often a compromise made between the worst side of all possible approaches, it's not the purely social political compromise.
And people are going to stand in your way, because you're not fixing their issue in return, or they're not getting anything out of it, or they just want to stand where it's safe.
Off the top of my head, I'd say he just didn't see that as a theme.

Trump Announces Deal With China; Media Cry About Tariffs Not Causing Inflation As They've Insisted They Would for Two Years
The latest coordinated Democrat-Media Party panic operation concerned rare earth metals. They said that the economy would collapse because Trump's trade war with China was reducing the amount of heavy metals China was selling us.
Well, Trump says he just struck a trade deal with China and China will begin sending us heavy metals again. (I know I keep flipping between rare earth metals and heavy metals but I think they're largely overlapping Venn circles and I like saying heavy metal and taking a ride on heavy metal.)China has agreed to a 55% tariff on their goods with only a 10% tariff on our goods? That seems incredible, but they have, in fact, been ripping us off for decades, and they are being hurt by Trump's tariffs. We're not, but they are. Meanwhile, the media is now crying that the runaway inflation they were praying for isn't coming to save them from the Bad Orange Man:
President Donald Trump said on Wednesday the U.S. deal with China is done, with Beijing to supply magnets and rare earth minerals while the U.S. will allow Chinese students in its colleges and universities. "WE ARE GETTING A TOTAL OF 55% TARIFFS, CHINA IS GETTING 10%. RELATIONSHIP IS EXCELLENT!" Trump wrote on Truth Social without elaborating. A White House official said the agreement allows the U.S. to charge a 55% tariff on imported Chinese goods. This includes a 10% baseline "reciprocal" tariff, a 20% tariff for fentanyl trafficking and a 25% tariff reflecting pre-existing tariffs. China would charge a 10% tariff on U.S. imports, the official said. Trump said the deal is subject to final approval by him and President Xi Jinping.
"FULL MAGNETS, AND ANY NECESSARY RARE EARTHS, WILL BE SUPPLIED, UP FRONT, BY CHINA. LIKEWISE, WE WILL PROVIDE TO CHINA WHAT WAS AGREED TO, INCLUDING CHINESE STUDENTS USING OUR COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES (WHICH HAS ALWAYS BEEN GOOD WITH ME!)," Trump said.
Aw. So sad! I know you were really counting on this, Democrat-Media Party. Just six days ago, on June 5th, this same Politico for Kidz! website we know as Axios reported that "anecdotally" there was proof of the claim that tariffs are causing inflation, and said it was "textbook economics."
A run of better-than-expected indicators -- including Wednesday's inflation report -- so far point to a strikingly resilient economy. Why it matters: Those waiting for signs of a tariff-wrecked economy will have to keep waiting. Economists anticipate President Trump's policies, particularly those related to trade, will weaken growth and raise consumer prices. But how, when, or even if looks more uncertain than ever.
US prices continued to rise in May amid Trump tariffs Annualized inflation hit 2.4% in May, up from 2.3% in April, as Trump pushes ahead with controversial trade plansNow, it is true that inflation clocked in at 0.1% in May -- which is a very low rate. Sean Davis did a quick calculation and confirms that that 0.1% monthly increase in inflation translates to a yearly inflation rate of 1.25% -- well below the 2% inflation rate the Fed actually aims for as its "target" rate. (The Fed believes that some amount of inflation is good and necessary. I think they reason that some inflation pressures people to invest money or at least put it into savings accounts (with the bank investing it) rather than just hoarding it.)
US prices continued to rise in May as companies and consumers grappled with Donald Trump’s tariffs. The president has repeatedly pledged to lower costs across the economy. Annualized inflation ticked higher, to 2.4%, in May, up from 2.3% in April. On a month-to-month basis, the consumer price index rose by 0.1%, down from 0.2% the previous month. The readings were softer than expected. Economists had expected a headline CPI reading for 2.5% in May, amid widespread uncertainty over the direction of the US economy.

I don't know, Ace, the math seems off. If it's 0.1% for one month, and we have 25 months a year.... looks like the Guardian (formerly known as the Indians) was right.

Not all price increases are inflation. They're not even necessary signals of inflation.
And the extent of tariffs effects on consumer prices is wildly overstated.
Since the money supply is not actually being affected, the effects will be more directly in line with the supply and demand curve.
Those goods subjected to tariffs will decrease demand as their prices go up. That's actually deflationary if anything.

Inflation and unemployment tend to have an inverse relationship, for reasons that the character limit here won't let me dive too far into.
This is a political decision that a little bit of inflation is preferable to a degree of unemployment that isn't easily quantifiable. So the Federal Reserve targets a (relatively) low inflation rate.
Prob the best way to do it, really. It's a more conservative action than the alternative.

Meh. I'd like to see us continue to develop our own RE mining and refining, and that won't happen if China continues to undercut domestic production with subsidized exports. Likewise, the universities provide them with a direct pipeline into every new thing we develop. I don't want to cut the Chinese students out entirely, but we need to be a lot smarter about what we let them do once they're here.

oh right, yes, that's probably the real reason. If employment approaches 100%, wages start really getting inflated as the private sector is forced to raises wages to attract in that 5% of the population that just doesn't want to work and will only work if you overpay them. And then you have to raise wages to keep your workers from being poached by other companies.

Inflation is caused by the government printing money because it spends more then it takes in.
Posted by: 18-1 at June 11, 2025 03:38 PM (t0Rmr)
==
Both wrong. Inflation is caused when the money supply is in excess of the productivity of the economy able to consume it. Has little to do with government receipts.
And tariffs, as a form of tax are in fact deflationary. Because the only way to avoid the tax is to buy something else, or buy less of the product being taxed. By definition, taxes increase the cost of all goods thus decreasing the amount of goods which can be purchased. This is deflationary. Every economist knows this. Those who professed otherwise either lied, or are in competent - or maybe both.

I think it's more about capital budgeting and investing at that level than consumer spending.
I think the example generally holds. High levels of deflation would be bad, just as high levels of inflation are. But there is no real reason to believe low levels of deflation are any worse then low levels of inflation.
So imagine Globo Mega Corp can build a factory that will generate a 20% increase in profits. If deflation is 20% or higher then it makes no sense to build it. But if it is 1%? Then it has no real impact.

Don't forget reducing DEI - time wasted on, and useless DEI hires.
Also,
The reason the Fed loves some inflation is because of the vig -- the gov. just claims that percentage of the entire money supply as vig each year. The old justification of "incentive to invest" makes no sense since (a) money is no longer gold horded in vaults, and (b) if inflation is -10%, wouldn't I still want to invest if I can gain -5% return? It makes no difference as long as investment returns more than not investing would.

Some inflation is just going to happen in a vibrant economy.
The macroeconomic formula is MV = PQ. High velocity has the same effect on prices as more money supply, until quantity can catch up.
Market economies are all about reaching equilibrium, but not immediately.
Thus, that inflation exists is ONE of the signs that your economy is growing.

I think it's due to the compounding effect. If inflation goes up 1% in Month One, and then 1% in Month Two, etc., each month's 1% is a little bigger than the previous month's one percent.

In a lawsuit begging for immediate relief, the 9th Circuit judge (SCOTUS jurist Breyer's brother, in fact) denied immediate relief.

Each year we learn and improve how we make all things. That *should* be reflected in lower prices. Without money printing inflation would be -24%. So in reality, government vig on money is inflation rate plus about 2-4% every year.
There are a few tricks at play here.
1. They keep inflation positive.
2. They justify money printing (increasing money supply) based on GDP growth. This is combination of population and economy growth.
Just because population grows, there is no justification for more money. That is just taking value from the existing population. (This gets hairy to explain so I will skip.) but my point is that if gov. justifies printing money based on increased population, and money printed by gov. ends up in ruling class pockets due to corruption and self dealing, isn't that part of why they want open borders?

I agree with that. You have to understand the soft spot Trump has on the issue. His communications director in the White House is Steven Cheung. He was born in the US, but his parents were immigrants from China. Cheung never finished his college degree, which is remarkable considering the position he holds.
Trump has always shown deserved loyalty, and this issue might be a favor to Cheung.

I think it's due to the compounding effect. If inflation goes up 1% in Month One, and then 1% in Month Two, etc., each month's 1% is a little bigger than the previous month's one percent.

The Newsom lawsuit was hilariously stupid and poorly written and pretty much not about the statute in question at all.
Newsom is going to take the fact that he filed A lawsuit as a victory no matter how things end. And partisan Democrats who hate brown people and want a white dude to be their nominee will tout it as a great victory.

Why would Xi agree to this? Sounds like more bs.
More gaslighting. What I've been reading, nothing has changed. Trump is lying.
Ditto! I see no reason for China to agree to anything Trump wants!
This is supposed to be a deal? This Trump clown is a complete failure. Americans will face a 55 percent tax on Chinese goods, less affordability of US goods in China depressing US exports, and the US gets nothing other than the exact same status quo that existed under President Biden? Another golden TACO.
There is no way that this is the actual deal? China would never agree to something so one-sided. This is Trump just making up numbers to make himself look good again.
Meaning he raised our taxes.

Imagine if you will an economy where imported widgets are cheaper than domestic. David Ricardo aside, let's tariff the imported widgets to make them materially more expensive.
Fine.
A domestic widget maker can look at the prices from his foreign competitors and find value in increasing his prices somewhere between his old price and the new higher price.
Tariffs have an expected effect in a vacuum, but we aren't in a vacuum. However, this isn't inflation in any event. It's a supply side shock.

The problem is that is too simplistic. Not only do tariffs drive people to find alternate sources of materials that avoid the tariffs but this analysis ignores the fact that Trump's strategy is to force down tariffs against the USA. When those come down then money is saved by businesses, who then make more money and do not raise prices as expected.
Further, it drives building and hiring in the USA, which benefits workers here and drives the US economy overall which raises all boats.

And by the time the Dems were done negotiating it would be a 5% increase and the GOPe would tell us how good they were at negotiating because the Dems started out asking for a 50% increase.
Meanwhile if you went to lefty forums you'd find how overjoyed they were that they got an increase when the evvvvvil Republicans had a majority in congress and that they'd get that 50% when they had control (and they would)

Or just ensure they can’t be used as roadblocks. The ostensible reason for those regs is a cleaner and safer environment. The actual reason is literally to block any development in the United States, to draw out any development through endless studies and lawsuits so that nothing gets built.
And then pretend that Americans don’t want to build.
The same is true, I suspect, of much of what goes under the HR umbrella. Make it harder or impossible to hire more American workers, and then claim Americans don’t want to work.

Like, wtf happened to that?
Streaming. Spottify, Apple Music, etc. Selling songs by the song rather than the album killed the concept album and variety on a disc. When it was an album, you could get Happy Trails on a Van Halen album, because they had space and a chance to have fun and do different songs. An album couldn't just be wall-to-wall the same thing or its boring.
Now, selling each song individually, the studios need every song to be a hit, so they slashed variety and distinctly different music in order to focus on the reliable hit.
Loss of sales killed experimentation and taking chances as well. They focus on the sure thing, so they make maximum money. So songs are not written by soulful, talented songwriters, they are written by 18 people all working together. They take the "Best parts" from each of those people and make it basically the crescendo, the chorus, for the entire song.

The GOP has no idea how to wield power, and for the most part, the only thing they know how to do or even care about is increasing spending, increasing opportunities for graft and cutting taxes.

If you look upthread, I made an offhand joke about the China deal involving Judas Priest from the era when Halford was out of the closet (not their best material by and large). Someone got a burr under his saddle about how Halford was the right kind of faggot: subdued, non-militant.

Not true. That's like saying if income tax goes up everyone will demand a raise to pay it.
Tariffs target imports, so people can either pay the extra, or shift to something else (substitution). French wine is too pricey, so I buy an American one.
Inflation is created by expanding the money supply, not taxing imports.

Things have to inflate or you will get no growth, it's also a guardrail against irrational exuberance's.
Absent inflation there are things that would push up housing costs - look at high demand areas for example.
But, an increase in prices is only very tangentially rated to actual economic growth. So to use your example, absent inflation your $5K house might now cost $10K because of increased demand while your $1k/year salary has increased to $50k/year because of increases in productivity. And the value of those increases in productivity would be a lot more obvious.
Basically the way I look at it is the government has stolen all the increases in productivity *for decades* via Bidenflation.

History says otherwise. When we used the gold standard, prices were remarkably stable and yet we saw the greatest growth rates in human history. Go look up the chart for the dollar and the giant parabolic curve that happened when we went to fiat money.
One other thing: how are you measuring growth? If you are using GDP you are using a very unreliable measurement. A women staying home and raising children does nothing to raise GDP, but putting them in daycare does.
If the Gov't borrows $1 trillion and spends it on tampons, that shows as $1 trillion in GDP growth. GDP is no longer a reliable measurement of the economy.
We need to back to old measurements, like steel production, calories for the work force, and population growth.

So if the US were to "give it back" it would be to the various Indian tribes that live there.
Of course this is even stupid because the Aztecs, for example, had only come to Mexico a short time before the Spaniards. So you've have to find members of the tribes there before the Aztecs...but they in turn almost certainly conquered the land from someone else.

No; I didn't think they were all from Mexico and so if I were a construction worker from someplace other than Mexico I might be a little irritated if Mexican flags were put out. i don't know where this idea comes from (the left, I suppose?) that all people from South of the border whose native language is Spanish all like each other and get along because they all speak Spanish.

>>We need to back to old measurements, like steel production, calories for the work force, and population growth.
All I'm looking at is how the system is constructed and how it works, it's predicated on limitless growth, growth in populations, growth in markets, growth in government services, growth in spending, etc. what we are seeing are the natural effects of the system, in this system, you will get periods of stability, inflationary bubbles, some air get's let out of the bubble causing instability, a period of stasis, then the bubble start to get inflated.

Fixed money supplies encourage volatility in an economy and no realistic way to address it. Depressions are a greater danger since monetary policy is nonexistent. Plus it opens up an avenue of monetary destabilization for money that has a fixed exchange rate with a commodity. Gold, for instance, has utility in technology etc. A change in technology where that commodity has more value than the exchange rate messes a few things up.

The greatest monetary destablizations in history happen when the currency is debased.
Compare pre-1973 growth with what came after. Oh, and be sure to subtract GDP growth from the nation debt, which usually exceeds it.
If you indext GDP to debt, the economy experienced zero growth overall since Obama took office. But the numbers look nice.

Perhaps, this is the reason why Western Countries are importing 10's of millions of people, the system demands the inputs of warm bodies to justify the other pillars of the system.
It's why the great migrations to the US of the late 18th and early 19th century were initiated, in order for the US to grow, it needed more people to justify it and all that entails.

Inflation is necessary in Fiat currencies because the central banks require a certain level of income to survive, and fiat requires that rates be below the market cost for banking to be profitable. This easy money is a lot of what drives inflation.
The problem is that easy money makes it hard to do real things, and instead winds up driving financialization of the economy, where companies are created to satisfy consumer demands, but to be sold off for a profit.

They had what were called panics and some depressions that were resolved fairly quickly. These were caused by overprinting or too easy credit rates from the banks
Depressions are the end of a business cycle that is created by too easy money availabilty either through printing (banks, railroads, and a few other industries printed money, the Treasury only issued gold and silver specie) or too easy credit. A depression is where the bad investments encouraged by easy credit is washed out of the system by either bankruptcy, fire sales, or "writing uncollectable debts off"
Posted by: Kindltot at June 11, 2025 04:56 PM (D7oie)
The US gold stock was dependent on externalities. For instance, in the 1890s the world gold stock increased (mining etc) and US prices increased accordingly. But then despite a smoothly increasing gold stock, prices were very volatile, jumping up sharply then suddenly declining.
Overall some years (from 1878 to 1914) had 10% inflation, others had -10%. And yes, bank panics, hoarding, etc played a role as well. Really, not having a central bank and holding to a fixed money supply doesn't guarantee against economic volatility.

Illegal Alien Charged With Throwing Molotov Cocktails at Police
The exact charge was "assault with a fiery but mostly peaceful incendiary device."
This is not an "immigrant." This is a Mexican invader, little different from Pancho Villa.The Department of Homeland Security on Wednesday announced that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested a previously deported illegal immigrant from Mexico after he allegedly threw a Molotov cocktail at law enforcement amid rioting in Los Angeles on June 7. LA has experienced days of unrest, with agitators setting fire to cars, throwing bricks and fireworks at police officers and vehicles, graffiting property, looting businesses, and smashing windows of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) headquarters downtown in response to ICE raids in the city last week. "Emiliano Garduno-Galvez is a criminal illegal alien from Mexico who threatened the lives of federal law enforcement officers by attacking them with a Molotov cocktail during the violent riots in Los Angeles. ICE arrested Garduno-Galvez, and he is now being charged with attempted murder. These are the types of criminal illegal aliens that rioters are fighting to protect," Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a Wednesday statement. McLaughlin added: "The Los Angeles rioters will not stop us or slow us down. And if you lay a hand on a law enforcement officer, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law." DHS noted that Garduno-Galvez had previously been deported and has a prior criminal record, including a 2024 arrest for grand theft near the Anaheim Police Department and a DUI in Long Beach.This man is Our Strength. He's probably working on a cure for cancer in between boosting cars. Here are some of the Future Cancer Curers who the Democrat-Media Party is determined to keep in the country.
Trump's ICE crackdown is continuing despite LA riots... meet some of the worst criminals they've arrestedWhat can we do when Our Strength commits lewd acts with children? Here are more pedophiles and sex criminals that the Democrat-Media Party has protected and permitted to remain in our country:
President Donald Trump's ICE continues to arrest criminal illegal aliens as protests and riots have engulfed Los Angeles. Over 160 anti-ICE protestors have been arrested in LA since Friday, according to local authorities, many for failure to disperse, and at least one - a Mexican national illegally in the U.S. - for attempted murder after throwing a Molotov cocktail at law enforcement. There have been hundreds of illegal aliens arrested in LA since the protest broke out on June 6, a source familiar with operations told the Daily Mail. ... Despite the stand offs with rioters, Newsom and Bass, the White House said deportation operations in LA are continuing. 'The Trump Administration will fulfill the President's promise to deport illegal aliens and no one -- not even violent left-wing rioters -- will get in the way of our mission,' White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told the Daily Mail. ... The White House is now sending the message that regardless of what Newsom or the protestors think, ICE operations will continue. 'Radical liberal rioters, enabled by weak politicians like Gavin Newsom, are using violence to try and stop the American people's agenda from being implemented. It won't work,' Jackson told the Daily Mail. 'In November, the American people gave President Trump a mandate: deportations.' And according to migrant arrest data exclusively provided to the Daily Mail, ICE's Los Angeles team is continuing to act on the president's orders. The rap sheets of five criminal aliens arrested Tuesday in LA were shared exclusively with the Daily Mail.
It includes Hondurans Carlos Alberto Escobar-Flores, 43, whose criminal history includes a conviction for grand theft; and Jose Jimenez-Alvarado, who was convicted for felony theft, according to the White House. Mexican national Jesus Romero-Retana, 52, a man convicted for battery and intent to terrorize, was also apprehended by ICE on Tuesday, the White House revealed. So was Cambodian Mab Khleb, a 53-year-old citizen of Cambodia, with prior convictions for possession of controlled substances and lewd action with a child, officials said. Sang Louangpasert, a 66-year-old Laotion man who was ordered to leave the U.S. in 2001, was also arrested by ICE. He has previous convictions of lewd acts with a child under 14 and corporal injury on a spouse, the White House said.

She's going for a narrative victory.
Trump is going for deportation of illegal immigrants. LA can burn for as long as Bass wants as long as ICE gets to operate and deport illegal immigrants.
Hell, the longer antifa is throwing molotovs on camera, the more evidence the DOJ has for domestic terrorism.
Trump has literally no incentive to negotiate for Bass to do her own job. Hell, Newsom's wife went luxury shopping in the tony part of LA today.

Trump was voted into office promising the largest deportation efforts in history. "in history" includes Operation Wetback, mind you.
Democrats don't want him to do that and instead want him to leave the borders open.
So, Trump should be undemocratic and do what the losers in the elections wanted.

If early numbers and patterns hold up, it'll be like this.
Trump deported 200,000 in the first four months. Should the OBBB pass, that number will go up with every month at a greater rate. In that time, the foreign born population of the US has gone down by at least 750,000, according to the census. So, that's a nearly 2.5:1 ration of self-deportation to deportation.
If Trump manages to deport 10,000,000, another 25,000,000 could end up going on their own.
What'll that do to rent prices?

Apparently I am in the minority among my retired military buddies about the Army Parade. they think it is Trump being Trump and a waste of time and money.
I disagree.
America needs more parades with it's military. The American people need to see the Services. The only people who really care or know the military are families who's have members in it. Need to spread the word.
Yes, it is a pain in the ass for the troops, but like one of mine said after the Victory Parade following Desert Storm: "Sir, what a huge clusterfu*k. We got there, had to practice fr three days, hurry up and wait. Long days, and then the parade. That was fantastic!!! Sir, I never had to buy a drink for the rest of the day."

1) Deport 1 criminal illegal aliens
2) Deport the 10 illegal aliens who tried to prevent you deporting the first criminal illegal alien.
3) 1,000 aliens self deport, because the 10 fear mongered the deportation of the first 1 criminal illegal alien.
So for each alien Trump deports, we get 110 others.

It’s so sad that this administration has no interest in trying to bring the country together. Intentionally trying to create division is how you “win” short term and lose long term. A patriotic president actually respects and attempts to work and govern with those that that disagree. There’s no actual patriotism in this admin.
At this point in the game, at least for me I have zero interest in "playing nice" and bringing the country together. There is no middle ground, no way to come together. It is us vs. them. And it now part of the "find out" phase for all the wrongs they have done to us for the last 8 years. So buckle up Chuck.

But, it is hilarious watching them go through all their usual euphemisms, equivocations, and minimizations that used to work.
What I think has them really incensed though, is not that we won't believe them, nor that they can no longer force us to at least silence--no, what has them most upset is:

8K (or 16K, whatever is actually next) will never be a physical media, so I'm not worried about it.
Besides, for most things, my TV (about 80") is not big enough to make the differences between 1080p and 4K large enough most of the time. There are standout discs (Dunkirk) and things I'll just upgrade because I want to (Kingdom of Heaven, finished at 2K with a DI in the mid-2000s and upscaled to 4K), but any further upgrades will be digital only. And I don't do that much.

When your rights, American citizens, were being violated and abused all across the country during Covid, not a single federal judge even lifted a pinky in protest.
But as soon as a child predator might suffer the indignity of being sent back to their home country, where they can't prey on children any more, the whole federal judiciary lines up like eager teenage prom queens, writing love poems to these illegals that would make Hustle magazine editors blush.
John Roberts even jumped out of bed at 2AM to save these monsters from homeland justice.

"World Pride Day" Attendance Plummets, With the Biennial Groomer Convention Seeing Only One-Third of the Expected Weirdoes
So close to Pride Month, World Pride Day?
SO CLOSE TO PRIDE MONTH?!?! They're pretty sure they know the reason for lack of interest: Foreign gays and trannies are just so a-scared of the Trump Menace that they won't even travel to America. Win-fucking-win if you ask me.'Not just a party:' World Pride celebrations end with defiant politics on display The celebrants held signs declaring "Fight back," "Gay is good," "Ban bombs not bathrooms" and "We will not be erased."How about mobilizing your asses back overseas?
By Associated Press
After the raucous rainbow-hued festivities of Saturday's parade, the final day of World Pride 2025 in the nation's capital kicked off on a more downbeat note. Thousands gathered under gray skies Sunday morning at the Lincoln Memorial for a rally and protest march, as the community gathers its strength for a looming fight under President Donald Trump's second administration. "This is not just a party," Ashley Smith, board president of Capital Pride Alliance. "This is a rally for our lives." Smith acknowledged that international attendance numbers for the bi-annual World Pride were measurably down, with many potential attendees avoiding travel to the U.S. due to either fear of harassment or in protest of Trump's policies. "That should disturb us and mobilize us," Smith said.
The PBS logo. Perfect. From The Post-Millennial, which, by the way, the depraved search engines seem to be programmed not to find.
Protesters cheered on LGBTQ+ activists taking the stage while waving both traditional Pride flags and flags representing transgender, bisexual, intersex and other communities. Many had rainbow glitter and rhinestones adorning their faces. They held signs declaring "Fight back," "Gay is good," "Ban bombs not bathrooms" and "We will not be erased." Trump's campaign against transgender protections and oft-stated antipathy for drag shows have set the community on edge, with some hoping to see a renewed wave of street politics in response. "Trans people just want to be loved. Everybody wants to live their own lives and I don't understand the problem with it all," said Tyler Cargill, who came wearing an elaborate costume with a hat topped by a replica of the U.S. Capitol building. ... Reminders of the cuts to federal government programs were on full display, Sunday. One attendee waved a pole bearing a massive rainbow flag along with a large USAID flag; another held a "Proud gay federal worker" sign; and a third held an umbrella with the logos of various federal program facing cuts -- including the PBS logo.
eading into the final weekend, which included the Capital Pride Parade, the BBC reported that event organizers dropped their estimated crowd size to around one-third of previous estimates. Organizers had originally projected around three million visitors. Ryan Bos, executive director of Capital Pride Alliance, told NPR, "We anticipated bookings to be much higher at this time for WorldPride and do know that the climate, the concern for folks internationally to travel to the United States is real." Montreal-based data analyst Alice Siregar, who is transgender, had initially planned on attending the event but was concerned about traveling to the US. "It is a risk to now come over and especially as a trans woman," Siregar said. World Pride was last held in Sydney, Australia in 2023. Monash University human rights law professor Paula Gerber, who attended both the 2023 and 2025 events, told Australia's ABC, "It couldn't be a starker contrast. Sydney was a celebration. We were really rejoicing in how far we'd come with human rights protection. Here, there's no celebration. This is a call to action. This is realisation of how quickly our rights can be wound back."The first article had a transgender saying "Transgenders just want to be loved." This article has someone saying their "rights" are being wound back. I think that's telling. They believe they have a "right" to be "loved," and celebrated, and affirmed. Obviously, there is no such "right." They have hijacked western governments to use government force to compel people to "love" them, and people have had enough.

My city, New York City, is having its best tourism year since before Covid. Almost 70 million tourists will visit NYC this year, up almost 2 million (!) from last year. There's no way that doesn't include the usual number of foreigners, and probably more.
And all I read about is how NYC sucks and nobody wants to come here. I'm sure other big USA tourist destinations are also seeing record years. So: fuck foreigners and fuck anyone who doesn't like America.

In a funny coincidence, I watched Youtube vids of some gen z musicians/music producers listening to the Beach Boys for the first time. No, not their first time hearing a specific Beach Boys Song. To the Beach Boys AT ALL. LIKE EVER.
While you are weeping for the next generation, it WAS cute to see them overwhelmed at all the sound layering, complex harmonies, unique instruments, and tone shifts in a Beach Boys song. Hopefully it inspires them!

All these leftwing celebrations of scumbaggery are all the same: astroturf ops. Whether it's Pride Perverts, BLM, antifa, anti-Israel, pro-illegals, whatever -- it's all bought and paid for.
Trump cut a lot of this funding. Business wasn't as easily shamed or shaken down for donations. So there was overall much less money to stage their perversion op. That, plus all the attention is on LA and the upcoming No Burger Kings slimefest.

OffKai Gen 4 is the weekend of June 20th in San Jose.
Do NOT attend. Cancel, get a refund.
Because the partisan malicious amateur incompetent apparatchik who run this VTuber con will require you to present a 'valid government ID' to meet your oshii.
This is after you have already given them your real name and such to purchase tickets.
But if you purchased a ticket for this con before they suddenly added this ID rule you do not have to show your ID. California law is on your side.
So yes they are a bunch of retards who deserve to be sued into oblivion and reduced to selling their blood plasma.

There is no "right", but the US government has declared that "gender identity" is a protected class. Until that is actually taken away, this nonsense will continue to undermine western civilization (which is the point of it all).
Take corporate "sexual harassment" training as an example. My company's training explicitly focused on "transgenders" and people using "preferred pronouns" and made it clear that employees are not to "deadname" and not to prevent anyone "identifying as a woman" from using the women's bathroom.

• with some hoping to see a renewed wave of street politics in response.

New York City’s tourism in 2025 is experiencing a mixed performance compared to previous years, with a notable downturn in projections primarily driven by a decline in international visitors. Here’s a breakdown based on available information:
2025 Projections: NYC is now expected to welcome 64.1 million visitors in 2025, a downgrade from an earlier forecast of 67.2 million. This includes a 17% drop in international tourists, with estimates revised from 14.1 million to 12.1 million overseas visitors. The decline is attributed to factors like U.S. immigration policies, tariffs, and negative sentiment toward the U.S., which have deterred foreign travelers. However, domestic tourism is slightly up, with 400,000 more domestic visitors expected compared to earlier projections.

Conquistadors did very little killing themselves. They were a very small force compared to the natives. But Cortez was a master at building alliances with local natives and pitting the natives against each other. The native tribes hated each other. Cortez would go into battle with maybe 500 Spanish and 5,000 natives on his side.

Yes, President Donald Trump has made several public statements statements about drag shows, primarily focusing on their presence in specific contexts like the Kennedy Center and the U.S. Armed Forces. Below are key points based on available information: [ . . . ]
Broader Context: Trump’s statements often tie drag shows to broader cultural critiques, labeling them as part of “absurd ideological experiments” or “woke” initiatives. For example, in a Facebook post, he emphasized that the military’s role is not to “host drag shows or transform foreign cultures.” He also referenced the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony, calling an anti-Christian drag queen performance “a disgrace.”

I don't know anything about Kash Patel other than I was supposed to fully support him and that he was the only man to bring honesty back to the FBI.
I'll admit, I was suspicious from the beginning because I've heard that about, well, pretty much everyone in DC at one point.
But that interview with Rogan, I mean... Jesus dude.
One thing I'll say about Kash: guy is not a very convincing liar. And he has a lot of balls going on Rogans show for a 2 hour interview and lying through his teeth the entire time.
On a related note, he's claiming he has proof that China is purposely shipping the precursors for fentanyl in to the US in order to kill people, as well as sending over fungus that would have destroyed our agricultural output if not for the ham n eggers at the FBI.
If that's true, those are both acts of war. Shouldn't this be a bit of a bigger deal when we have millions dead from chemical warfare from China?

Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld calls out liberal media’s L.A. coverage: “What I find interesting is how come the networks aren’t interviewing the protesters? There’s a selective shielding going on. They know the protesters are the worst spokesmen for the protest.”
“So, as the media ‘we’ll take care of that for you, we’ll become the spokesman.’ Their delusional commentary alongside the videos of the rioters and the arson is a perfect juxtaposition of reality and ideology. They’re trying to tell us it’s ‘mostly peaceful’.”
“Every video strengthens Trump’s position and reminds us how wrong the media was on everything from the ‘summer of love’ to the fall of Biden.”

It's more of a hassle than getting a license previously entailed in Texas. Can it be done? Sure. But illegals really have none of the hassle because laws are never enforced against them, unless they commit manslaughter or murder. So it's just one more way in which the law hassles and inconveniences law-abiding citizens without really imposing any obstacles to being here illegally. I don't really get the point of RealID overall.

Per Grok:
Yes, several U.S. courts have ruled that gender identity is a protected class under existing federal laws, primarily through interpretations of sex discrimination provisions. Here’s a concise overview based on recent rulings and legal developments: [ . . . ]
Conclusion: The U.S. Supreme Court and multiple federal courts have established that gender identity is a protected class under Title VII and, in some cases, Title IX, as a form of sex discrimination. The 4th Circuit and certain state courts have further affirmed this, with some recognizing gender identity as a distinct suspect class. However, the extent of protections varies by context (e.g., employment vs. education), and ongoing litigation may clarify or challenge these interpretations. For the latest developments, monitoring federal court decisions or legal resources like the ACLU’s updates would be useful.

Agreed. When I got my Real ID, I was but one of 3 or 4 in a room of hundreds who spoke English as a first language. And those 3 or 4 were Brothers. Oddly, we all kind of migrated to standing near each other while we waited several hours to be called.
Granted, I was at a DMV in the hood, but I mean... how are all of those people getting a Real ID? Really makes you wonder.

He has magically transformed himself into a woman or girl, making it impossible for him to be a threat to you! Suck it up, you bigoted girls and parents!

Creation of Real ID: The Real ID Act was signed into law on May 11, 2005, by President George W. Bush as part of the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, the Global War on Terror, and Tsunami Relief.
Original Purpose: The Real ID Act was enacted to establish minimum security standards for state-issued driver’s licenses and identification cards in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Its primary goal was to enhance national security by ensuring that identification documents used for federal purposes, such as boarding domestic commercial flights and entering federal facilities, were reliable and resistant to fraud. The law aimed to prevent terrorists and other unauthorized individuals from obtaining IDs that could be used to access sensitive locations or systems, addressing recommendations from the 9/11 Commission to standardize and secure identification processes across the U.S.

But in what I assume is a tone-setting (kill chicken to scare the monkey) phase of enforcement for non-criminal illegals right now, part of that tone indeed should be draconian treatment of employers, when evidence is there. Most will plead out.
There are worksite raids going on in FL, GA, MI, NE, CA. Necessary, but a top-down approach to major employers still needed.

Via Grok:
Over the past 20 years, same-sex marriages in the U.S. have grown from a niche phenomenon in a few states to a nationwide reality, with an estimated 710,000 same-sex married households by 2022. Yearly marriage counts are rough estimates: low thousands annually pre-2015, peaking at tens of thousands post-2015, and likely stabilizing at 20,000–50,000 per year recently. For precise figures, the U.S. Census Bureau or Williams Institute databases are the best resources, though they focus more on households than annual marriages.
2004–2014: ~10,000–15,000 same-sex marriages per year
2015: ~50,000–80,000
2016–2020: ~60,000 per year
2021–2022: ~30,000–50,000 per year
2023–2025: ~20,000–40,000 per year

He said he's seen the video from the cell and Epstein really did kill himself. He did not claim to know everything there is to know about the case, and generally seemed to be trying to avoid making definitive statements about things he wasn't yet confident about. Contrast with J6 and Crossfire Hurricane, where he knows that material cold.

This is not quite accurate. If you watch the interview he’s the one that brings up Epstein… saying he knew everyone was interested. So if he really doesn’t know much and yet goes on Rogan (didn’t have to, he has a day job) knowing it’s gonna come up (or more accurately he’s gonna bring it up)… what’s the point? If he knows little better to not even go on…. This is the context of why I sniffed some BS

For what it's worth, via Grok:
Conclusion:
Over the past 20 years, an estimated 36,000–62,500 same-sex marriages in the U.S. have ended in divorce, with the majority occurring post-2015 due to nationwide legalization. This estimate is based on limited data, with annual divorce rates for same-sex couples averaging 1–1.5% compared to 2% for opposite-sex couples. Precise counts are unavailable due to inconsistent reporting, especially pre-2015. For more detailed insights, the U.S. Census Bureau, Williams Institute, or legal databases like those from the American Bar Association may offer further data, though annual divorce tallies remain elusive.

It’s so sad that this administration has no interest in trying to bring the country together. Intentionally trying to create division is how you “win” short term and lose long term. A patriotic president actually respects and attempts to work and govern with those that that disagree. There’s no actual patriotism in this admin.

Inflation Again Comes In "Lighter Than Expected" at Only 0.1% in May, the Lowest Since March 2021
Update: Democrat Congresswoman Insists That Prices Are Rising, WITHOUT EVIDENCE
Six months ago, the Democrat-Media Party couldn't stop talking about inflation, after having refused to talk about inflation for four years.
"Trump has done nothing to reduce the price of eggs," they all said in Trump's first week as president, suddenly acknowledging the steep increase in the price of eggs under Biden after denying it. "Trump's distracting the voters by talking about immigration because he's not doing anything about inflation," they all said in Trump's second week in office. Well, inflation is now well under control and falling even more. And strangely enough, the Democrat-Media Party is silent about inflation again.Trump called for a cut in the Fed's interest rate, which would spur growth. But the head of the Fed, Jerome Powell, is a partisan Democrat who is only interested in cutting interest rates and flooding the country with freshly printed currency if the president (or, "president") is a Democrat.
The White House declared Wednesday that "America is beating inflation," touting the latest Consumer Price Index as proof that President Trump's economic leadership is ushering in a "new Golden Age" of falling prices, rising wages, and broad prosperity. Key Details: The May CPI report showed overall inflation "lighter than expected" once again, according to the White House. Officials emphasized that since Trump took office, inflation has come in below economists' forecasts every month. Core inflation--which strips out food and energy--held steady at the lowest level since March 2021. The White House noted that under Trump, core inflation has averaged just 2.0% annually, mirroring rates last seen during his first term. The administration also highlighted wage growth, particularly for production and nonsupervisory workers. Real wages for those workers rose in May at the fastest pace in nearly a year, and have now increased every month since Trump returned to office.
President Trump reacted Wednesday to the latest inflation data by urging the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by a full point. Calling the CPI numbers "great," he argued that such a move would significantly reduce interest costs on the nation's debt, adding, "SO IMPORTANT!!!" Key Details: Trump posted on Truth Social shortly after the Consumer Price Index was released, writing: "CPI JUST OUT. GREAT NUMBERS!" He called on the Federal Reserve to "LOWER ONE FULL POINT," emphasizing the impact on debt payments: "WOULD PAY MUCH LESS INTEREST ON DEBT COMING DUE." The post comes just hours after a White House statement declared, "America is beating inflation," pointing to steady core inflation, declining energy prices, and rising real wages.The White House declared Wednesday that "America is beating inflation," touting the latest Consumer Price Index as proof that President Trump's economic leadership is ushering in a "new Golden Age" of falling prices, rising wages, and broad prosperity.

Good Wednesday, everyone!

Corporations took advantage of the real inflation and increased prices additionally based on anticipatory increases in future manufacturing costs.. Now that those anticipatory increases didn’t happen for the most part and energy costs have decreased, they still won’t decrease their prices.
I need to look up the earnings of the fast food kings and other corporations. I would bet they had a couple of good years.

DIRECTING THE REPEAL OF UNLAWFUL REGULATIONS, an EO Trump signed 2 months ago.
A directing for agency heads to tear out reams and reams of federal regulation not explicitly authorized in statute, Loper v Raimondo being the first SCOTUS ruling listed in the text.
It also directs to not even notify the public of deregulatory efforts because Loper outweighs the APA.
Tearing out massive burdensome rules is going to have a positive effect on the economy.

Marines Deployed To Another Third-World Country Full Of Hostile Foreigners
LOS ANGELES, CA — As has become the standard operating procedure for the military branch over the last half-century, 700 members of the United States Marines found themselves being deployed to yet another third-world country that is full of hostile foreigners.
In this latest deployment to a non-English-speaking wasteland, the Marines were supremely confident that they would be able to handle the marauding hordes of foreign nationals, despite the inhospitable conditions presented by the rubble and destruction of the surroundings.

yup.
Kagan's dissent on that recent Trump win sure seemed to think Humphrey's was over-turned.
The majority opinion basically said, "maybe Humphrey's protects quasi-government agencies like the Fed, but only if they have no Executive functions."
Then cited to a law or something in support--which Kagan helpfully pointed out--doesn't actually say that.
So yeah, the final opinion on that is going to be "Whenever Congress creates, the Constitution then gives the Executive full, complete authority to run--there's no "shared power" scheme permitted under the Constitution."

Even assuming that they're working and not collecting any benefits at all, shipping out 1,000,000 people (as has been done since the start of Trump's term) means fewer dollars flowing through the economy, more rent spaces opening up and increasing supply while decreasing demand, and the same for things like grocery items.

That was in the face of Yellen issuing short term bonds to the EU, and being forced to cover them.
As far as I can tell, once that ended (Bessent came in and stopped it) Powell raised rates, which has royally messed up the plans of the European Central Bank and the City of London who needed the low rates to keep spending the way they were spending.
Powell is most likely stomping on the ECB on purpose, and since Powell and Bessant have lunch once a week, the probability is this is being managed by the Fed, the Treasury, and Trump. An emergency rate drop is not needed, there is no emergency yet
As an indication of the current situation, Gold has supplanted Euros' position as the second largest reserve asset for most of the world.
Bessent and Powell have lunch weekly. Also, Bessent opined officially that the Fed has too much input into banking regulations. I think the financial world is evolving.

Then cited to a law or something in support--which Kagan helpfully pointed out--doesn't actually say that.
So yeah, the final opinion on that is going to be "Whenever Congress creates, the Constitution then gives the Executive full, complete authority to run--there's no "shared power" scheme permitted under the Constitution."

It’s a semi catch 22. Spending stimulates the economy. It is a complicated balancing act .
Sort of. The argument from the MMT people is that every dollar the government spends yields some multiplier of value.
But in reality its fractional. So the government gives $100M to a favored business, but because it isn't the market ruthlessly determining efficiencies that $100M actual yields say $10M in actual value, and then that $100M increases inflation by whatever fraction of the monetary supply is.
Now the most amusing part of this is if the MMT people really believe what they claim they should call for the end of taxes and budgets 10X or more what they are now. Why not? Its like getting a low rate loan that you can invest in a high rate of return investment right? So spend ALL the money!
But...even they don't believe that. They just want to have a little bit of protection so they can keep looting the treasury.

Polling showing a *40 POINT* shift from Dems to GOP on "who do you trust on immigration" question, 2020 vs. 2024.
Forty points, in 4 years. This is not something one sees in political polling - and it seems it's reasonably an apples-to-apples comparison, no bad/biased polling artifacts.
Of course "GOP" is a hilariously misleading way to offer the choice to a respondent, but they're sort of locked into that Dem/GOP binary framework. Trump is of course the actual choice, no reason to think GOP is significantly more serious, sane, or honest about the issue overall (tragically, for the country).

Bulldozers have begun ripping up the grass and digging the foundation for a new flagpole in the White House Rose Garden lawn, making good on President Donald Trump’s plan to install a Mar-a-Lago-style patio...later explained that the reason was because women had trouble walking in the wet grass in high heels...
that garden was exquisite with lots of history too. The Architect (Sears) was very good @ bringing Jackie Kennedy’s idea to life. A relaxing green experience where the President and others could meet and talk in a less formal setting.
Like a male dog lifting his hind leg to leave his territorial message. Pathetic really. Wasted money. We will have a citizen makeover of the White House ala Jackie Kennedy when he is gone. A great project. We can all participate and be part of a national project.
The Rose Garden is historic! Think of all the presidents giving speeches there, and other special occasions that took place. He wants to destroy American history, and write his own.

Not the most important thing, but just to underscore the depravity... It's almost certainly the case that the Israelis put Greta on an airplane because they know she doesn't fly out of principle, so they wanted to humiliate her and get a propaganda image out of it for kicks.

Because no rose gardens ever have patios. Right... This is the same lefties shrieking over Trump removing the ugly ivy in the Oval Office that lib staffers have been gifted cuttings from, treating it like it's a sacred relic.

Personally, I'm not a fan of replacing the Rose Garden, but paving will certainly make it easier for those wearing heels. In fact, it makes access to the Rose Garden more *eqitable* since it erases the advantage that men have walking in turf. Heh.

In a movie or tv show to commercial or something like that. I mean shit the Beatles broke up before I was born. I still know who they are and have heard their songs.

Wednesday Morning Rant
But all it takes to experience a touch of culture shock is to travel a few hundred miles to an island of Party power. I recently took a trip to a big eastern city for work and it was like entering another world. It wasn't entirely bad, but I found it a bit weird. Starting with the good, the hellhole factor was pretty low. Work usually takes me to the west coast, so my default assumption was that I was traveling to a no-go zone. It wasn't. I was in a fancy part of town, but being in a rich area doesn't really matter in a place like San Francisco. I was pleasantly surprised to find that there are still places where at least the moneyed parts of a city still feel normal rather than like a totally dystopian hellscape. Expectations status: subverted.
But it was also like stepping back in time several years. It was very obviously "Pride Month" there. Local restaurants loudly advertising rainbow-colored food with rainbow napkins in the dispensers. Banners and signs up on buildings and in the windows of businesses. Billboards and ads on buses bedecked in rainbows with vague statements about "diversity" or spoiling for a fight with The Man. Even big companies that have gone more or less mum online or in wider campaigns had the flag flying in the enclave. The mega-corp I was visiting had "All Genders Bathrooms" scattered throughout their swanky, brand new digs. It's nowhere to be found in their public marketing, but still very much a thing on the inside. It all felt kind of dated and worn-out. It's how things used to be, and not in a good way. Coming from a place where this stuff basically doesn't exist anymore, it was like I wandered into a time warp. "Pride month" and its trappings are still very much real things in some places, though others have emphatically moved on. It's still big in some of the enclaves, but many other places enthusiastically sloughed it off, consigning its corpse to the ashcan where it belongs. The transition was jarring and underscored that nothing happens at all once. How are things where you live? Is "Pride Month" still on full display, or is it already in dustbin?Comments

Of course it's in the dustbin in most of Texas. (But it will always be "in" in Oak Cliff) The most amusing part of this is that all the parts of the country that told themselves they were oh-so trendy and ahead of the times, are suddenly badly behind the times without a clue what to do next.

But I find that what I am driven by most as a coach of littles is watching MLB body mechanics (mostly hitting and pitching) to try to discover optimal body motions to teach the kids as they start to discover the sport and work on improving their skills.
Beyond that, from a coaching perspective, seeing them start to think about the game as a mental game and improve their mental toughness is probably the biggest reward.

I like going to baseball games. It’s a great way to spend a couple of hours on a summer night. I can’t name anyone on any team though.

If any of you are lucky enough to live in or near a city that has one of the Major League Baseball teams' AAA affiliate, that's a great bargain for entertainment. I live in such a city, and a couple of times each summer I get to see MLB players who are in my city on a rehab assignment. The cost is a pittance compared to MLB ticket prices.

People who SHOULD be living comfortably, based on income, seem to live in small houses, in slightly out of time dated communities.
It's so strange to come home to Podunkville where I live, where everything is clean, people look cheerful, roads are being torn up, not by neglect but by the constant improvements that never seem to stop.
Cities are dumps.

So far, the only evidence I've seen in NYC of this celebration of excrement is one sorry-looking faggot boomer standing on a street corner holding up a shitty handmade "sign" that was barely legible. But it clearly said "June 14." Pathetic is too competent a word to describe this.

I'm not particularly familiar with Ian Carroll, but apparently he's covering for Candace Owens while she's on maternity leave.
Ian did a video the other day, basically summarizing what we know about the expanded Epstein Pedomatic Universe. All the names, how the case against Epstein went forward, and the various possible explanations for, not just the behavior of Kash and Dan, but the extent to which our "intelligence" agencies are involved, and the major players are still out there, doing their thing.
Well worth watching.

But I find that what I am driven by most as a coach of littles is watching MLB body mechanics (mostly hitting and pitching) to try to discover optimal body motions to teach the kids as they start to discover the sport and work on improving their skills.
Beyond that, from a coaching perspective, seeing them start to think about the game as a mental game and improve their mental toughness is probably the biggest reward.

I live in OKC so we have the AAA team for the Dodgers. Just last summer I got to see Clayton Kershaw (future hall of famer for the rest of you) from center seats behind home plate, 6th row for like $30 a ticket. In another game I got to see Max Muncy and Tommy Edman playing 3B and CF respectively. I just watch the Dodger news sites and look for updates on injury rehab. I saw Kershaw pitch the summer before as well since he tends to get nicked up a lot at this point in his career.

someone around here was advertising a pride march or walk or sashay, or whatever, it wasn't even worth my time to see where it's located, maybe Delaware, who knows
In my immediate locale, which is a purple-ish suburb, middle class, a couple big pride flags went up outside of homes right after the OrangeManBad Regime took office.
I was glad they did so. Because if those particular homesteads are so assiduous in "showing their colors", the parents of the area know what houses their kids should avoid.

Remember when COVIDmania was going wild and the FNM told us COVID was racist because it killed more black people per capita?
Well, COVID was more likely to kill you if you were overweight and more likely to kill you if you were Vit D deficient.
Racism sure looks a lot like a culture that encourages bad self indulgent behavior among certain groups...

Charitable interpretation, because my own neighborhood had that problem, is that a rainbow is a Christian symbol (although unicorns and rainbows are some kind of creepy little girl thing). When the neighbor was informed of the connotation, it quickly disappeared.

Via Grok:
The rainbow flag, a symbol of the LGB movement, was first designed and used in 1978. Created by artist Gilbert Baker in San Francisco, it was commissioned by Harvey Milk, a prominent gay rights activist, for the city's Gay Freedom Day Parade. The original flag had eight colors, each with a specific meaning, like red for life and blue for harmony. It was later simplified to six colors for practical production reasons. The flag gained widespread recognition as a symbol of gay pride and diversity in the years following, especially during the 1980s as the movement grew.

There is really no reason for companies to virtue signal with rainbow stuff anymore, because the movement has been extremely successful in getting their policies into US law.
Our company's sexual harassment training was all about the "transgenders" and pointing out that it is US law that recognizes "gender identity" as a protected class.
Made an explicit point throughout the training to say it is corporate policy, based on US law, to recognize anyone by their "preferred pronouns" or face punishment and that anyone who "identifies as a woman" must be allowed to use the bathroom they choose.
Just like the BLM stuff is seen less, because they got all their grift and policies put in place.

The lead in that movie was not supposed to be a lead. He was a hometown kid where they were shooting the movie. He just showed up on set, thinking maybe he'd get a part as an extra.

Well, this would be one of those examples of people not paying attention to what he actually said, and getting butthurt over something that's not really all that controversial.
Seems to me, the same institutions of "higher learning" that get ragged on in other settings, when it comes to someone saying "Yeah, Indians and other foreigners are needed for highly skilled jobs, because American schools are shit" gets a jingoistic backlash.
I really don't get it. Either American schools are failing us, or they're not.

The two can coexist. Most of the failure of the american college system is in liberal arts, though the commiefags are trying to destroy the STEM areas too. Nobody gives two fucks about your gender studies degree unless you go work for a previously-funded-by-USAID-NGO. I have not seen evidence that there is actually a compelling need to import a bunch of H1Bs do do IT work. On the contrary, at least anecdotally, people in IT positions have been REPLACED while on the job by H1Bs, and being made to train their replacements.

The Chinese have been doing this in business for decades, with the added twist of assigning the anglicized name to your account, and having 10 different sales reps use the same name. Had that happen with one Chinese company I used to buy parts from at my last job. You could tell when they fired someone because the replacement would barely be able to compose an email in English, then they'd only last a few months before someone would come in who could communicate like they were US born-and-bred.

I can tell you do not work in the auto industry as this is exactly what has been happening for at least the past 5 years... companies laying off local engineers by the hundreds and replacing them with outsourced remote cheap labor contract "engineers" in India, Mexico and Indians working in Canada. They are paid 1/3 to 1/2 of what the laid off American engineers were making. And most of them in my experience have 1/3 to 1/2 the experience and IQ of American engineers. Average IQ of people in India is 72, borderline retarded.

I was just reading an interpretation that there is very little said in the Bible about Mary's relationship with Jesus, but there are some insights. Jesus was told his mother and brothers were outside and wanted to see him, and he appeared to not emphasize their familial ties (Matthew 12:48-50 "Who is my mother and who are my brothers?") to him but rather stated that all who do the will of the Father are his mother, brothers, sisters. But again, he asked John to take care of her mother after his death, indicating a special caring for her in particular, imo.
Of course, I defer to other much more knowledgeable people here than I.

I'm sure the Zen is around here somewhere, however, I recall the charging / interface cable getting broke, rendering the device useless, so they both might've ended up in the trash.
I won an iPod once. Installed iTunes on my PC and loaded 1 song on it. Determined iTunes was of the Devil, so I uninstalled it and sold the iPod.

I was working at Microsoft when the Zune came out. As part of the cult of Microsoft that existed there, there was incredible pressure for the 'softies to buy the Zune.
You could tell what someone had by the color of the earphone wires; white for an iPod, brown for the Zune. Anyone with white felt overt and covert pressure to dump the 'Pod, and buy a Zune. Either you didn't, and argued that the iPod was superior (it was), or you bought a set of Zune earphones, and fooled people with the brown wires that you were 'true blue'.

It’s gone from bad to full-blown domestic terrorism.
🔫 Today, in broad daylight, left-wing rioters opened fire on police officers — yes, they’re literally trying to kill law enforcement.
This is no longer about “protest.” This is about anarchy, violence, and open war on law & order.
And guess what?
👉 The same Democrat politicians and activist agitators who fanned the flames for days are now silent — or worse, still defending it.
This madness was incited by the same people who said ICE was evil, police are “oppressors,” and that rioters were “heroes.”
💣 Enough is enough.
🛑 Every politician and activist who helped fuel this must be investigated and held accountable.
🇺🇸 America cannot survive if our leaders are defending those trying to murder cops.

The first gen was the one when I was there, and I wrote Zune off, so never paid attention to follow ons, and don't know about the HD.
iTunes was taking off, and M$ never really came up with an good alternative, so I suspect that had as much or more to do with iPod dominance.
Kind of the same story with PDAs. Windows CE has a bunch of problems. I switched to a Dell Axim from Palm Pilots, and the software issues with CE sent me scurrying back to Palm.

The Hobbs Act, codified at 18 U.S.C. § 1951, is a United States federal law enacted in 1946 that prohibits actual or attempted robbery or extortion that affects interstate or foreign commerce, as well as conspiracies to do so. The Act is named for United States Representative Sam Hobbs (D-AL).
The statute, despite being conceived and enacted as an anti-racketeering measure in disputes between labor and management, is frequently used in connection with cases involving public corruption, commercial disputes, and corruption directed at members of labor unions.

They're obsolete now.
They were a closed, tie-in ridden, PITA, then. They were slick and capitalized on cult-like adoption to squeeze out more desirable (from an open, fair use perspective) solutions in the market - like the Zen mentioned above - which was largely driven by content creators owners pressuring Apple to become a conduit from your wallet to theirs, while Apple took their 30% cut.
Now in the days of yt-dlp, bit torrent, open audio platforms like VLC, and mobile devices with massive, cheap storage, hot processors, and long battery lives, remaining tied to the I-ecosystem seems mainly about momentum or tech illiteracy.

Channeling 5.1 (or greater) into a 2.0 stereo output of your TV. Done poorly, it shoves everything through the two speakers of the TV, muddling things. Done correctly, it diminishes surround effects and prioritizes the front channels, in particular the central channel.

If anyone is still using just the two speakers on the TV, my advice is upgrade to a soundbar. Even the cheaper basic 5.1 models go a good job of LF, C, RF, and sub and a decent job simulating SL and SR. It makes a huge difference. Listen to the Blade.
For a true audiophile experience, a true receiver is the way to go, but that's more space and effort to set it up. So unless you're hardcore, I just recommend a soundbar.

I have surround speakers in the ceiling...that is great. But front speakers in the walls might degrade the sound unless they are designed specifically for that application.

I'd imagine, without input from anyone, surround rear being in the walls, and all of the front channels being in the ceiling.
Probably end up all in the ceiling once I talk to someone who actually knows what they're doing, though.

What do you mean tie-in ridden? I never had trouble with that with my iPods. Unfortunately, the iPhones and Macs are now riddled with that crap.
I synced my iPod easily from Linux. Just plugged it in and it auto-synced my music over automatically using some scripts I wrote.
Posted by: Hawaiian Judge at June 11, 2025 10:41 AM (l3YAf)
Easily and scripts I wrote do not seem to be congruent.
I used it on Linux with RhytthmBox, I think, and it was clunky at best. I gave up, mostly because it was a curiosity and Ipods were obsolete, but I was looking to hand something to my youngest.
Itunes was the tie-in, which then became the Apple Istore or whatever. And if you were on Windows, it came with all the other Apple crap like updaters (spyware?) you had to kill to keep Windows from running out of memory. Then you got the dance of updating windows or installing Itunes on another computer and hoping Itunes didn't wipe your library for you.

You should try cutting holes in walls and ceilings to run speaker wire and cables through rooms! And installing speakers on 12-foot ceilings. I probably have 700 feet of speaker wire in my place, that I laid all myself. 19 speakers in total. 9.1.4 in the main TV room. 4.1 in the living room. All hooked together and run off a single AV source running two receivers. And I;m seriously considering the new AVR-A1H to add even more speakers! I'm a junkie.

Henry Ossawa Tanner; born 1859 Pittsburgh, PA, died 1927 Paris, France.
Wikipedia: In part, "He (Henry Ossawa Tanner) became the first African-American painter to gain international acclaim. Tanner moved to Paris, France, in 1891 to study at the Académie Julian and gained acclaim in French artistic circles."
American Art Collaborative Org
Henry Ossawa Tanner used his Swedish-born wife Jessie and their son Jesse as models for the Virgin and Christ, giving the work a double resonance as both a meditative biblical scene and a tender family portrait. The first African American artist to obtain international acclaim, Tanner is the last great exponent of religious painting in European and American art. The son of an African Methodist Episcopal minister, Tanner studied with Thomas Eakins at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts before pursuing a career in Paris, where the professional and societal obstacles facing people of color were not as severe as in 19th- and early 20th-century America. Tanner's religious paintings were popular and critical successes at the Salon and with collectors on two continents.

Pandas are an accident of environment. They were once more like normal bears, but got outcompeted by better predators. They were forced up into the mountains to eat bamboo.

I enjoy baseball.
But I find that what I am driven by most as a coach of littles is watching MLB body mechanics (mostly hitting and pitching) to try to discover optimal body motions to teach the kids as they start to discover the sport and work on improving their skills.
Beyond that, from a coaching perspective, seeing them start to think about the game as a mental game and improve their mental toughness is probably the biggest reward.

The Morning Report — 6/ 11 /25
Good morning kids. Well, just the same old revolution but a different decade. The institutional Left which has more or less always operated within and had the political cover of he Democrat Party, to give it a veneer of legitimacy. Their goal was, is and always will be the destruction of America and of Western civilization itself. Since Vietnam and the civil rights movement, any excuse to riot and cause violence and unrest at home was used as the pretext, not to protest whatever the issue was, legitimate grievance or otherwise notwithstanding, but to sow division and use it as the means to destabilize society and if possible to cripple the institutions that hold the society together and then overthrow the government. The salient point here is that regardless of our foreign enemies meddling in our internal affairs to cripple us, be it the Chi-Coms or current Russians/Soviets of old, globalist foreign oligarchs, MEXICO - which must now be considered a foreign adversary, global Islam terror organizations and of course Iran, The only way that what we are witnessing is happening is because we have an alarming number of people of all ages that are American citizens who have such a hate on for their own country thanks to decades of indoctrination and propaganda from he schools and media/entertainment complex that they are willing to engage in open violent rebellion. Remember, that Bill Ayers, who fantasized about what we are witnessing right now thought that he and his comrades in the Weathermen would seize absolute power but then would have to still liquidate upwards of 25 million Americans who would never accept him and who would never be "re-educated." May the National Guard and US Marines stack the bodies of these violent traitors like so much cordwood. And may everyone who is funding and giving political cover to these terrorists have their assets seized and/or be hanged by the neck for treason. If what we are witnessing isn't treason, then I don't know what the hell is.
If Democrat leaders are rallying their base to view the protests as a defense of democratic values, it may potentially escalate into more widespread conflicts similar to those that occurred in 2020. The involvement of figures like Maxine Waters, who attempted to intervene on behalf of rioters, further suggests a political stake in the unrest, though her rebuff by law enforcement highlights the limits of such influence.
. . . The speculative possibility of a civil war hinges on intent. If the Democrat Party is orchestrating or amplifying the riots, their aim may be to destabilize Trump’s administration, leveraging the chaos to rally support for progressive causes like open borders. If the funding allegations are substantiated they may point to a strategic investment in unrest, using groups like CHIRLA which is linked to ActBlue as proxies. However, this theory rests on ongoing investigations. While prominent leftists claim that the roots of the riots are organic, pre-printed signs and seemingly-coordinated appearances of large numbers of protesters continue to raise suspicions. Another concerning aspect is the actions of left-leaning judges to place the interests of illegal aliens over those of American citizens.
If the Democrats want a real shooting civil war, they're insane given the fact that our side is armed to the teeth and that the military as a whole, the Obama brass loyalists notwithstanding, are not or will not necessarily be on their side. No, what they want is to destabilize society and trust in our institutions so much so that average citizens will somehow see the Democrats as the adults in the room and allow them to take control. That too given everything the Democrats have done to America in just the past 5 years let alone the past 200 is equally delusional. There are several essays in the lead that echo the salient point that this is the same revolution, with essentially the same players, plus global Islam in the mix, aiming to take America down and finding common cause with our native-born traitors. This cannot be allowed to continue and God willing it is utterly crushed and soon, and everything must be done to ensure that this madness never rises again. Now that the bastard child of Hermann Goering and a fireplug, Greta Thunberg has been sent back to the Islamic Republic of Malmo instead of being dumped over the side in the Mediterranean, how long do you suppose it will be before she winds up in Los Angeles, unless the National Guard and Marines can start stacking the corpses of the filthy human garbage engaging in violent revolution like cordwood?
My guess is she'll be landing at LAX within the next 24 to 48 hours.
And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know. Have a great day.

- The problem, according to Bass, isn't the rioting and violence. No, the problem is the lawful enforcement of immigration laws. According to Bass, this incites the violence. According to Bass, enforcing immigration law begets burning cars, assaulting police officers, and looting local businesses.This is the ugly truth about today’s Democrat Party: it's not just soft on illegal immigration — it's openly siding with lawlessness. Bass didn’t condemn the anti-ICE riots that turned her city into a war zone. Instead, her first instinct was to issue what amounted to a threat: enforce immigration laws, and we’ll unleash chaos. That’s blackmail.

I think Democrat polling is so horrendous they're creating riots nationwide with the hope the optics of President Trump sending the troops in will turn voters their way.
Unfortunately for Democrats, they've now encouraged actual insurrection when all they really wanted was a few deaths and some businesses burned out.

U.S. SOLDIER IN UNIFORM JOINS ANTI-ICE PROTEST, TRASHES TRUMP — CALLS ON MILITARY TO “RESIST”
In a shocking display of politicized insubordination, a member of the U.S. military in full uniform joined an anti-ICE protest in Dallas, blasting President Trump and calling on other service members to “resist” orders and reject what he called a “pawns for Trump’s agenda.”
Claiming that enforcing the law and defending the border violates the Constitution, the soldier declared that she and others have a “moral obligation to say no.”
This is dangerous rhetoric from within our own armed forces — the kind that undermines national security, emboldens lawlessness, and promotes left-wing activism over military duty.
When military members start picking and choosing what laws to follow based on political opinions, we no longer have a republic — we have a rebellion.

I think if we'd like to get to the bottom of the left's violence we should probably look into the architects of the last several color revolutions elsewhere and the people/organizations behind those.

Yokosuka, Japan. I was returning to the Naval base but arrived right as they closed the gates for the daily "we hate nukes, we hate America" protest. Lasted about an hour. I was standing right there. No issues at all. When their time was up there was an announcement and they all dispersed. No issues at all. Gates opened.

Given that the former United States is technically a failed state, part of the definition is that it can no longer maintain law and order, and a chunk of that is the vast majority of the population has no morality and cannot distinguish Right from Wrong, the idea of mala in se is dead and only mala prohibita remains.

Where is the chain of command? No one, and I mean ZERO, NADA, not a single damned officer or Sargent, knew or even had an inkling that this asshole was in no condition to send out to assist in suppressing an Insurrection?
The point being, is that the Party Military, under several decades has cultivated some Woke, Broke and Bespoke ideology that rarely if ever aligns with the interests of We The People.
Here is why the Party Military is obsolete and should be marginalized. They can't even perform the most basic functions of defending an area. Do I need to remind everyone of Afghanistan where our asses were handed back to us thoroughly that we are paying tribute to the Enemy?

So she wasn't sent out to assist in suppressing an Insurrection.
In all likelihood, she's NG and wasn't during a duty time, wore her uniform for clout. Could be that she's no longer active duty... not sure what the laws are at that point. Still, not a good look for her.

Still in the very early days of taking our country back but the contrast of Trump administration 2.0 to Trump administration 1.0 is stark.
The media is broken. We now have a voice on social media. Hoaxes and bullshit narratives are dying on the launch pad and Trump's team is way out in front of the left and not giving an inch. They are punching back evern harder. And the American people are with us and our movement is getting stronger.
It won't all be smooth sailing, there will be setbacks. But I like our chances.

2. She's in Dallas, not LA.
So she wasn't sent out to assist in suppressing an Insurrection.
In all likelihood, she's NG and wasn't during a duty time, wore her uniform for clout. Could be that she's no longer active duty... not sure what the laws are at that point. Still, not a good look for her.

"We made a great decision in nuking Los Angeles," Trump said in a post on Truth Social. "It was the only way to deal with the violent, instigated riots in California. If we had not done so, Los Angeles would have been completely obliterated by illegal aliens. You're welcome, America!"
Witnesses in nearby San Diego reported seeing an enormous, blinding light on the horizon. Though shocking, San Diego citizens believe this may improve their chances during the MLB playoff season. "I guess the Dodgers are gone," said Padres third baseman Manny Machado. "Maybe Trump isn't so bad after all."

It's a lot like the CSA's state latecomers in the Spring of 1861. NC, the last state to join the Confederacy, resisted secession until AFTER the Rebs' bombardment and capture of Fort Sumter. The moment the Union reacted with force and requested 75,000 volunteers after an act of war against it, why, that was too much for the NC firebrands.

Look, we've got a bunch of hobgoblin radicals called the Ecumenical Liberation Army who go around taking home movies of themselves robbing banks. Now, maybe they'll take movies of themselves kidnapping heiresses, hijacking 747s, bombing bridges, assassinating ambassadors. We'd open each week's segment with their authentic footage, hire a couple of writers to write a story behind that footage, and we've got ourselves a series.

She's apparently no longer even in the Army. Someone looked her up in the DoD global address list last night and she doesn't appear there. No email address = not in the Army. Even recruits get listed there before shipping to basic training. An issued email address is as important now as a social security number, primarily because it's attached to the common access card, aka the military ID card.

The LIBs ceaseless quest for the unearned remains forever ceaseless because the Value Illicitly Obtained retains no Value. They seek the destruction of Value which exists, as-if it brings Value to that which is not, nor will ever be.
LIBs seek an equivocation with an Evil which knows none. And precisely why, Troy would have been well served by looking the Gift Horse in the mouth.

I believe you interpret his headline statement too broadly. He was clear the deal covers only rare earths and magnets, on the China side. In return, Trump has agreed to a provisional reduction of tariffs, pending assessment of how China behaves, and we will re-approve Chinese students can come to school in the US. That's the deal, so far. More to come, and it will obviously take much more negotiation and China has to live up to their agreements this time (they never have before, and Trump is unsurprisingly cautious).

Not really though. Many reasons for price increases outside of inflation. Trying to equate the two leads to stupid statements from, say, the Biden admin trying to say increased prices are proof of a recovering economy due to increasing consumer demand, instead of what it actually was.
And that can actually hold in a vacuum, eg scaled price increases can be caused by shocks in a supply chain, shortages of component materials, etc etc. It doesn't lend itself to a bumper sticker, alas.

Thanks to LA, ALL immigration is up for debate:
Watch @Cernovich explain why we need mass deportations in a way you’ve never heard before!
Illegal immigration is the root cause of almost every issue today. It skews congressional apportionment, costing Republicans 20-40 seats. It overwhelms ERs and Medicare, forcing urgent care centers to pop up.
Anchor babies exacerbate the issue.
We need a strong deportation plan now!

Reduce spending or raise taxes so that the government isn't printing as much money and inflation will go down.
And not only does inflation increase prices, it also reduces the value of any assets that someone holds.
Biden didn't just double the price of food through inflation, he also halved the value of everyone's savings.

But radicalism has been allowed to fester from top to bottom. Billionaires willing to endlessly support dumb True Believers at the bottom, all while DAs are unwilling to attack anyone rioting for the right cause.
It's a blue enclave problem, and Democrats are in a weird space where they have no idea how to even package the images as narrative. Part of them want to project it wide and far because they think BLM won them 2020. Other parts want to kill it because they have some level of common sense. However, the latter has given way too much ground to the former over the past 14 years since the Obama administration panicked in the face of the Tea Party wave election.

Trump is putting every latino at threat to be deported, arresting anyone that looks like an undocumented Mexican and deporting them in the same day without any due process.
Impressed. He went after trump methodically, but he also supported actions that will help keep protests peaceful. Doesn't mean I'm ready to vote for him.

Possibly. I suspect Trump is a bit wary as well. He's been railing against China and their unfair trade practices long before he got into politics so I doubt he's had a conversion to believing the CCP has had a come to Jesus moment.
But China is also facing economic doom if they don't change their ways. Trump's aggressive tariffs have hurt them a lot worse than western media has been willing to admit. They've spent decades getting an unfair trade advantage mostly because none of our leaders did shit to put a stop to it. Seems Trump just did.
Trump's trade team is pretty impressive. I don't think any deal with China will be perfect and they definitely can't be trusted but they might be forced to play nicer because the alternative is not sustainable.

Posted by: Ciampino - nasty cancer at June 11, 2025 09:14 AM (sPQoU)
SRT is superficial radiation treatment… outpatient procedure used on basal and squamous cell cancer. The radiation penetrates down to 1/4 inch… which is pretty deep for skin cancers. Used any where on body, but ESPECIALLY useful on the face or any delicate areas.
No cutting. I had it on my noese, in the tricky area around a nostril. Series of treatments.. office time for treatment… 40 seconds per treatment. NO recovery time for anything. Result was.. perfect, for lack of a better word. Hope this was informative.

Probably need to focus that one down a bit. Lots of people fly other national flags at heritage parades, for example - St. Patrick's Day comes to mind. Hotels fly them when someone notable from that country is staying there.
Now, during a riot... sure, whatever, but just in general... no.

Heh, yeah, DC is where ideas go to die.
It's just amazing how far the conversation has shifted.
On Christmas, the big X debate was "we still need more legal immigration" (H1Bs) vs. "No, we need to look at reducing that, too."
In the last few days it's become "we need to stop all immigration" because ALL of it has dramatically changed our way of life, making once easy things difficult and expensive, and giving blue states more representation.
I don't think Trump is losing popularity over sticking to his pledge to deport illegals now.

It is the permanent loss in purchasing power of the underlying unit of account, the currency. It never comes back, and is cumulative over time.
Generally speaking it is the natural order of things that prices go down over time for goods and services. Not up. The fact that they don’t is now so ingrained probably 9 out of 10 think this is normal.

A signature Biden law aimed to boost renewable energy. It also helped a solar company reap billions. By Brain Slodysko, June 26, 2024
WASHINGTON (AP) — As he campaigned for the presidency, Joe Biden promised to spend billions of dollars to “save the world” from climate change. One of the largest players in the solar industry was ready.
Executives, officials and major investors in First Solar, the largest domestic maker of solar panels, donated at least $2 million to Democrats in 2020, including $1.5 million to Biden’s successful bid for the White House. After he won, the company spent $2.8 million more lobbying his administration and Congress, records show — an effort that included high-level meetings with top administration officials.

Treason is support for foreign enemies.
Insurrection with seditious conspiracy covers domestic schemes to overthrow, impede, or otherwise attack the government of the U.S.
Therefore:
IF, all the people carrying out the attacks and their supporters are citizens, it is insurrection with seditious conspiracy.
IF, they are Mexican or other foreign citizens, and possibly if they are acting with the sponsorship of foreign governments, it constitutes an invasion, and then additional citizen supporters of it could be guilty of treason.
While it seems to be a distinction with no difference, it is based on the line in the Constitution defining and limiting what constitutes treason.
Given the number of Mexican and Fauxlestinian flags that have appeared, I would not say it cannot be treason, but overall I suspect establishing it as insurrection with seditious conspiracy will be easier.

- The Bluesky bubble hurts liberals and their causes. Here's why that's a good thing. (Washington Post) (archive site)
Bluesky was an interesting attempt at redesigning the core architecture of Twitter, but had no natural userbase until Trump won the 2024 election, whereupon the craziest people on Twitter departed en masse all at once and created Bluesky accounts.
That gave the site a massive boost in user numbers but at the same time a massive headache, because suddenly its users were overwhelming screamingly insane leftists with all the problems that come with them.For roughly a decade, Twitter hosted what is lightheartedly called the "national conversation" on issues of the day, particularly social justice and public health. Twitter never had that many users, compared with Instagram or Facebook. But it had a big group of influential users - politicians, policymakers, journalists and academics, all of whom were engaged in a 24/7 conversation about politics and current events.
Mostly leftists, often far left, but at least, at the time, paying lip service to civility and rationality. Those days are far behind us.
That's what they're trying to regain, but the more they tighten their grip, the more star systems slip through their fingers.That was a boon to progressives, who wielded outsize influence on the platform because they were early adopters who outnumbered the conservatives. They were also better organized and better networked, and had the sympathy of Twitter's professional-class employees, who proved increasingly susceptible to liberals' demands for tighter moderation policies on things such as using male pronouns to refer to a transgender woman.
Translation: Stalinists policing speech.It's not surprising that progressives want to return to the good old days. But it's not working, and I'm skeptical it ever will.
Those were the days, my friend. Thought they would never end.Something similar has happened on Bluesky. The nasty fringe has become even nastier: A Bluesky technical adviser recently felt the need to clarify that "The 'let's tell anyone we don't like to kill themselves' crowd are not welcome here" because left-wing trolls kept urging people who disagreed with them to commit suicide. And without the leavening influence of their opponents, Bluesky discourse appears even more censorious and doctrinaire than what progressives were saying on old Twitter.
Jesse Singal, call your office.
Oh yeah, the key point: Bluesky activity is down 50% since November; it's in a death spiral and there's likely no way out.

- Nvidia's low-end RTX 5050 will be a laptop 4050 only much faster because it's a desktop chip but still using GDDR6 RAM unless it doesn't do any of that. (Tom's Hardware)
Nothing announced officially yet. But it will at least not be significantly hampered by only having 8GB of RAM because it won't be fast enough to need more than that.
- Micron has started shipping HBM4 memory. (Serve the Home)
This has up to 2TB per second of bandwidth per stack, with each stack providing 36GB of memory.
Both of those numbers are what is currently described as "a lot". Nvidia's RTX 5090 has 32GB of RAM and 1.8TB per second of bandwidth across sixteen GDDR7 chips, so packing more of each into a single device is quite attractive to high-end hardware designers.
Just... Expensive.

Imagine the people who used to stand on a soapbox in the town square and disclaim on whatever topics they felt were important.
Ignored ~98% of the time, ridiculed 1% of the time, and maybe making someone rethink stuff 1% of the time.
Take the same type of person and give them a soapbox with an indicator of how many people agree with what you are saying or at least think it was worth quoting to other people. That would probably rival crack cocaine as a high for those folks.

at a place that deals with turf grass for golf courses and I guess for athletic fields. He is working hard is very reliable and has a pretty long commute each way. He always says that work is fine and we're all thankful to God he's getting paid. However, I think he would like to do something connected to research. I try to encourage him right now to say golf is very important to help people unwind and get exercise so the turf growth and maintenance is valuable
So, here is my question: what has playing golf been important to you in your life? What has this done for you personally
Thanks so much.

That'd be Jeffrey Jones who played Principal "Ed Rooney".
From an NY Post article 2 days ago:
---
Jones had a colossal fall from grace in 2002 when he was arrested on charges of soliciting a minor for nude photos and possession of child pornography.
He pleaded no contest to soliciting a minor and prosecutors dropped the child pornography charge.
The actor was sentenced to five years of probation, one year of psychological counseling and two years of drug and alcohol abuse counseling.
As part of the deal, he was also ordered to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.

Speaker Johnson to reporters on the difference in his attitude to violent rioters in LA versus in DC on Jan 6: “Everybody wants me to re-litigate January 6. I’m not going to do that. There's a very clear distinction between the two.” He says LA rioters are “destroying property.”

Sex is the word properly used. Not gender. For example “There are two sexes. Boys have a penis. Girls have a vagina.” It’s very important not to let leftists define the terms in any debate. Words mean things. In order to pervert people, it is first necessary to pervert the language. Euphemisms are part of this process. It is a strategy, a technique. “Undocumented” for example. (That isn’t even close to accurate. They have all sorts of documents. Just not in English. The idea is to smooth things over, and make it sound like they lost their wallet or something.

USAGE
The word gender has been used since the 14th century as a grammatical term, referring to classes of noun designated as masculine, feminine, or neuter in some languages. The sense denoting biological sex has also been used since the 14th century, but this did not become common until the mid 20th century. Although the words gender and sex are often used interchangeably, they have different connotations; sex tends to refer to biological differences, while gender more often refers to cultural and social differences and sometimes encompasses a broader range of identities than the binary of male and female

DIVE BAR! accessory. A bit of Old Swill on tap now and again is better than drinking out of an old leather shoe.
One of the most iconic users of tin over cardboard signs were breweries, which began using them for advertising in the late 19th century. These signs, featuring the distinctive designs and became fixtures in taverns, bars, and distributors across the county. During World War II, tin became a valuable resource for the war effort, leading to a decline in the production of tin over cardboard signs. Many existing signs were repurposed or recycled to support the war effort, making surviving examples from this era particularly rare and sought after by collectors. After the war, the golden age of signs began to wane as new advertising mediums such as television and radio gained prominence. Many signs were discarded or replaced with newer materials, contributing to their scarcity today.
Jukebox history. Seeburg, Rock-Ola, Wurlitzer, and more.
Is the jukebox destined for extinction or just a rebirth for a mobile world? Here's a rundown of what really happened in the course of jukebox history.DIVE BARS!, a jukebox, and raspy/sexy voices go together like grit and charm - rough, but somehow still fuego. Or is it eyeliner at midnight and questionable decisions?

Very nice buses were there to take kids home. I walked back to my apartment. Kids were all over the place. 11pm. Family Mart - kids were filling up on Ramen. Others were hanging out at a small park.
Not to mention my church I found there...

"You Never Even Called Me by My Name" is a song written by Steve Goodman and John Prine. Prine requested to be uncredited on the song, as he thought it was a "goofy, novelty song" and did not want to "offend the country music community". Goodman released the song on his eponymous 1971 debut album Steve Goodman to little acclaim. [Wiki]

Used to party at Luigi's, on Elysian Fields Ave., out by UNO. The Radiators would play live there frequently before they got big-ish.
The floors were sticky, the pool table wasn't level, and the college babes were really into young Bif's super tan (from working 6x12 in the Brown & Root Pipe Yard across the river) and mullet. Them were the days. Overtime kicked in on Thursday before lunch. Net cash flow after taxes was $450 / week. Joined the Army so I'd have a less manual labor intensive job (bwahahahaha) and took a 75% pay cut / month.

I'm from a really small farming community. But we had a hotel - strip club on main street. The windows were all covered. Us kids knew something adult was going on...
There's an even smaller farming community nearby. My 90 year old Uncle who passed away in February told me they used to have a strip club there.
I had to ask him. What kind of strippers would come to this small town.
The response. "Pretty ones. No one will pay for ugly strippers."

I was 16 going into a very sketchy bar with hardpan floors. Tin walls. Beer in bottles only. And one Coke bottler, which I bought.
The comedian was a woman with a bare midriff and a 1.5 inch appendix scar. She was nervous telling Norde Americano jokes after we walked in. She was not attractive, even when I was full of testosterone. The clientele was too drunk to notice us. We left after 20 minutes.

Hello my pretty Hordelings.
I love a good Stephen Miller media bitchslap.
Posted by: All Hail Eris,
================
I'm trying to find his bitchslap about these emotional appeals to leave illegal aliens alone if they've been here for 20 years and "paid their taxes, never committed any crimes, and their kid is asking for them" blah-blah. The essence of it was "fuck your feelings" but he was more prime-time-appropriate. Something like emotional responses are beside the point.

Had a little sunken dance floor, with bars and barstools along the perimeter so the old guys could leer at the college girls. Shitty loud dance music. Electronic dartboards, frequently triggered by the shitty loud dance music before you threw a dart. Pull-tabs served from a little counter in the corner, run by a woman who was the model for Marge Simpson's sisters.
Drank whiskey-n-cokes, rum-n-cokes, whatever-n-cokes because the bartenders couldn't hear me over the shitty loud dance music. Or they just didn't care.
Old-school bowling alley in the basement. Owned by the same family, I think. It was pretty nice, considering what lived above it.

I watched Gov. Hair Gel's speech, or actually the condensed version provided by the local news.
His points were mostly accusations against Trump about things that the Democrats have done, or an attempt to vilify Trump for taking actions that Newsom himself should have already taken.

Speaking of dive bars and porn, there used to be a dive bar across from the port authority that used to have a tv showing legit porn, as Times Square got cleaned up, the porn gave way to sid meyers type fare, then softer movies, now the dive bar is an upscale cocktail lounge where the drinks start at 20 bucks.

Now here's a dive bar. My fren and I went in and wanted to smoke and drink, so we figured we'll just light up and smoke until someone tells us to go outside. So we lit up. The bartendress in a wifebeater and jeans and scraggaly hair comes from behind the bar and says "I've got to tell you, it's illegal to smoke in a bar in California." We said Okay, got it. She... didn't really tell us to leave... and a few minutes later, she was at a table chatting with some other customers, smoking.

Any varnished wood will be worn raw in spots. Lighting will be marginal. Advertising signs will be old. The bar tender is probably the owner. Don't expect upscale liquors...or Guiness stout.
There's at least an even chance that the place will be named for the owner (or previous owner) Example. - 'Fred's'.
I've spent time in dozens of such, all over the eastern U.S.
Now, we can move on to biker bars, a different genre.

"A dive bar is like porn."
My addendum: "like low budget porn"*
low budget (&/or amateur porn): you can see the shadows of the boom mikes; and often the boom mikes themselves are inadvertently lowered into the scenes. (oops!) The cinematography itself is about as varied as a police custodial interview-- you know what I mean. Two chairs, one on either side of a plexiglass partition.
* gentrified, high budget porn is the same quality as a Hollywood movie. I think a lot of legit film directors make these. Money is money.

The best dive bar in Anchorage was the Trade Winds, long gone, but once the heart of the Spenard biker gangs. Girls never got carded. Girls were perfectly safe there, too. Guys, OTOH, had to be of a certain attitude and type to hang. I think I was 15 the first time I dropped in there. Was treated like a queen.

Back in the day, Chilkoot Charlie's in Anchorage, Alaska was the kind of place where you got wanded for weapons when you went in the door, and the bouncers would put your head through a car windshield if you gave them any trouble.

Was only up Island for a bit over a year, in 85... but was the Prezzy of the Enlisted Club...
They transferred me down Island to work for ComSubPac partly because I was having WAY too much fun in Wahiawa. 85 Toga Party? Yeah... me... The Assassin Game all over base... yeah...
But the end came soon after the Tsunami Party... where there was an earthquake in Alaska, so they sent all the married folks home, and restricted all us single folks to base...
Sooo... being as how we were in a Valley at the tip top of Oahu... I cranked the stereo, pulled out an ice chest of beer... got out my surf board, put on the leash, and sat down in a lawn chair... when folks were coming back from work? 'What ya doin?'... waitin for the Tidal Wave. Big Murph, a friend, got out his dive gear, and sat down beside me...
By 1 AM when the next shift of Operators got off shift... even Security had joined the party.
I was transferred down Island soon after that... can't imagine why.

Koots was more fun in the 1970's, certainly. I lived about two blocks from there in the 80's, and it had calmed down a bit but was still plenty jumpy on weekends.
The Buckaroo Club down the street was also much more fun back in the day.

Yeah, that was another one.
I think they were hanging out at the Carousel until the owner kicked them out. Dude must have balls of steel. I don't know where the Angels go to drink nowadays.
Of course there were any number of little neighborhood dive bars back in those days. The Billiken. Fireside Lounge. The Oasis. The Spenard Lounge. PJs. Buckaroo Club.
Almost all gone now.

Having departed one seedy bar after a syphilitic whore and her pimp started paying too much attention to us, we were headed towards home when we spotted an open door.
Inside the door were a few tables and chairs, a bar made of a couple of planks across some tall sawhorses, and a refrigerator full of beer.
We were starting to put a dent in the beer supply, when the fluent Spanish-speaker in our group urgently said, "Guys, lets get out of here! The bartender just asked me to take him home with me!"
That was when we finally noticed the place was filled with nothing but men. Manly men. Who looked like they'd want to do manly things in the manner of men. We had somehow stumbled into the only gay bar in Honduras.
We beat a hasty retreat and slogged home in a tropical downpour, with water over our ankles.

"Nah... the girls just dress up like saloon girls from the Gold Rush days."

Most people couldn't figure out how they stayed in business. Me, I soon figured out that they were laundering money. "See, Mr. IRS Dude? We sell beers for $2 each, and here are our receipts for ordering fifty million kegs of beer from the wholesaler. So that explains how we're making $100,000 per night." Never mind that most of the beers went out the door for $0.05...
Naturally, the places were always packed.

If a customer complained that a machine had eaten his money, we'd refund him with red quarters.
If a bunch of red quarters started showing up in a specific machine, we knew the coin mech needed servicing.

There's one like that on Saint Martin, too. "Juggie's Place." All outdoor seating; the "bar" part is a corner of the stockroom for the same-named Caribbean-tourist-junk shop.
It's on Yelp, but it only has one review, but it's 5 stars, so I don't know if it counts as a dive bar or not.

I noticed the sunset location varies several degrees depending on the season.
-----------
Tonight is full Moon, the Strawberry Moon (last full Moon of astronomical spring, or June full Moon, depending on which convention you prefer). It's also a major lunistice peak. Tonight's full Moon (07:43Z, 03:43AM EDT), will be about the lowest in can be over the horizon at meridian. That's 26.5 degrees here, which also means the Moon rises and sets about as far south as it can ever.
Yep, sunrise and set angle vary with the seasons, which depends on Sol's declination. The angle the ecliptic makes with the horizon and sunset and sunrise determines timing of twilight and how fast it gains altitude.

Two on the second floor, one in a basement.
Tile floors, plastic walls, loooong bars with the same 3 beer taps every 4ft and staircases so narrow you're rubbing navels with whatever man is going there other way. Jukebox and multiple pool tables, of course. Wine was "red" or "white" and came out of a box on the shelf.
One was the only 24hr bar at the time, so it was popular with returning sailors and there was always this one midget in there and he would reliably pick a fight with any Pacific Islanders who walked in.
The other one was frequented by the emotionally busted office clerks drowning their sorrows before heading back to whatever 8x10 cell he could afford after the divorce.
Both were places to walk in, park up, and drink with your change sitting on the bar in front of you next to the ashtray ready to pay for the next beer. The closest thing to conversation was yes to the bartender asking "another one?" or no to whatever lonely drunk imagined someone else might care about him and his problems. Just "no".
The downstairs dive was rowdy.
Good times.
I'd clean forgotten about them until tonight.

It was cloudy at sunset/moonrise tonight, and I couldn't see the Moon rising so far south. I can see it now, through some clouds obscuring it a bit.
This is lowest a full Moon can be within less than a degree, maybe 1/2 degree. The Moon's lowest declination will be tomorrow around 8PM, so tomorrow's culmination will be at 26.1 degrees, lower than tonight by 0.4 degrees, and still looking pretty full.
To appear at the lowest possible, you'd have to have full Moon appear directly on the June solstice, and the declination minimum happen exactly then as well (within a few hours). We're getting about as close to that now as we ever get.

Unlike other automonous vehicle companies, @Tesla had its customers:
1. Pay for the R&D.
2. Pay for the cars.
3. Do the AI training.
The world is about to change deeply.
I've been doing a bunch of consumer research by interviewing customers of @waymo (a competitor).
They almost universally tell me:
1. They don't want to own a car anymore.
2. They don't want to drive anymore.
3. They don't want to take Uber anymore.
And Tesla can underprice Waymo AND provide a better experience to boot. Oh, and because @elonmusk got us to pay already the Tesla network will be profitable almost from the start.
Why did I do that research?
Early adopters tell me how everyone else will behave I've learned many times in my career.

Rainier Beer, aka Vitamin R, the elixir of my youth and college days. The brand bounced around different ownerships after the original Rainier brewery in the Georgetown neighborhood was sold to Heilman and then to the current owners, Pabst, but the good news is that it has gotten popular again with the college crowd and working man.
Sadly, however, I was told just last week that Henry Weinhard's is no more. The first "craft" beer I remember, from Portland, Oregon, was indeed a legend.
But as the beer is but a memory, as was the city it came from. Once a fantastic place to visit or live, Portland, for all intents and purposes, is now gone, too. Leftism is an evil bitch.

I highly recommend the desktop version of Stellarium, if you're interested in all this. It will display more information than you can shake a stick out. You can have it project the ecliptic, equator, hour angle circles, invariable plane and all that on the sky view. There you can see how the angle and altitude of the ecliptic vary over the day.
You can get a good handle on how things behave seasonally from that.

Dad would bring home Lucky Lager, in the stubby bottles, for years. IIRC it was brewed in Vancouver, WA. Then one time, he suddenly changed to Heidelberg in the keg bottle, and that was his beer of choice every evening after a hard and long, blue collar day. Brewed by Carling Brewery, Tacoma, WA.
He would buy Rainier once in a while, it was usually during a summer neighborhood gathering, like Memorial or Labor Day, or 4th of July.
It was strange at our house when I was growing up that sometimes a beer or two in our refrigerator would simply disappear, about the time when I turned about 14 or 15. It never happened when dad first got home after a long day and cracked the first one, it seemed to happen when he would fall asleep in his chair after having 4 or 5 and finishing dinner. And they would collect in the old refer in the garage, hidden behind the cans of pop and other things mom kept in there.
To this day, it's a mystery.

On the ride to Lake Tapps in the mid 70's to take a spin in somebody's dad's ski boat, we would stop at the little Lake Tapps store on the back side of the lake and buy Columbia beer, 99 cents a six of cans.
It tasted horrible, but as college students, we found as long as you put enough ice in the cooler, it wasn't bad as long as you drank it fast enough. The savings on beer went to pay for gas for the ski boat.

First, I needed a piece of steel plate. Had to liberate that from a welded-up bracket no longer needed for its original use. Break out the plasma cutter. And the angle grinder. OK, I have a sturdy plate. Lay out and drill four holes for the studs on the seat slides. Did it wrong. Twice! Ended up slotting the holes. OK, it fits the seat slides. Wut?? The seat slides don't slide. Somebody had welded blocks on them to prevent them from sliding. Cut those off. Then had to oil up the slides. and work them a whole lot to make them free again. Welded a piece of pipe onto the plate, made it an inch off-center fore/aft, so that I would an option to get fore-aft seat slide travel in range. Seat is in place, and looks like it belongs there, but it did come out of a Brand X step van.

After some internet searching and fussing around on the Adobe I site I end up with Adobe's AI chatbot that promptly directs me to the deactivation page. And when I tell it I need an activation reset it promptly drained all my bank accounts. Quite an escalation but it happens.
Tomorrow my day is cleared out so I can spend hours on the Adobe support line. I am pretty sure the conversation is going start with Adobe telling me they don't support CS6 with me going this is not a CS6 issue with Adobe going but this issue is related to so CS6, so piss off, wash, rinse repeat.
Finally, the AI chat box has disclaimer on it that notes it is known to make crap up and lie to you and anything it tells you is up to you to decide if it is lying. Alright.

It is a big old boat-anchor Snap-On machine I bought for about 200 bucks at a yard sale in Mesa. I had to bypass an internal Murphy switch to make it work, but it cuts like a champ. Old tech; all the new ones are inverter-powered, and you can carry them one-handed. This one weighs 200 pounds, and has wheels on it. Nice long stinger cable on it, though.

It was strange at our house when I was growing up that sometimes a beer or two in our refrigerator would simply disappear, about the time when I turned about 14 or 15. It never happened when dad first got home after a long day and cracked the first one, it seemed to happen when he would fall asleep in his chair after having 4 or 5 and finishing dinner. And they would collect in the old refer in the garage, hidden behind the cans of pop and other things mom kept in there.
To this day, it's a mystery.

It was one of my favorite spots in NM. The woman who runs has a master degree in speech pathologies. I found that to uniquely appropriate skill set for running a saloon. Especially after 11 pm. She brings bands and host other things. Peeps drive from all over to be there. My first time I ended up photographing a wedding - they couple spaced out getting pics. It was a hoot. Another time I bought a "limited edition t-shirt" and sent it off to the boy spawn. When he went there the first time I made him wear the shirt. She recognized it in a hot second. Boy spawn was a minor royal for a couple hours. This place checks all the boxes.

I don't know if Tcn in AK is here, but it hit me for her around Anchorage, it will be damned low indeed. Looked it up, and it will be just 1.6 degrees above the horizon max. It will rise just 10 degrees east of due south and set 10 degrees west of south. It will just barely pop up above the horizon. And depending on local topography, you might not even see it all.

If you're wondering what's going on with the Moon being so low, we're at a Major Lunistice. Lunistice = "Moon still", just as solstice = "sun still". Lo, the Sun/Moon stands still.
To first order, the Moon lies on the ecliptic plane. At a full Moon, the Moon is one the opposite side of the earth from the sun. Thus, seasonally, when the sun is high, the full Moon will be low, and vice versa. The full Moon closest to the summer solstice will be the lowest of the year, and the one closest to the winter solstice will be the highest for the year. And likewise, the "lunar day", the time the Moon is above the horizon, is just opposite of the sun as well.
Tonight, the Moon will be above the horizon for the shortest time of the year.

Now, to higher order. The Moon's orbit is tilted relative to the ecliptic by 5.1 degrees. So, it's actually not dead on the ecliptic, but a little off. Now, the Moon's orbit is locked into that inclination. It's pegged to the ecliptic, not the earth's equatorial plane. And that's because of the Sun's tidal perturbations.
But, that inclination *precesses*, rotates around ecliptic north around a cone of 5.1 degrees with a period of 18.6 years. This means the Moon's orbital angle relative to the earths' equatorial plane, will vary, with the 5.1 degrees adding or subtracting from the Earth's axial tilt.
We're at the point not where that is adding exactly, and thus the Moon's orbital tilt relative to the equator is the highest it can be. And that's why the June full Moon is the lowest it can.

That's very sad. Scott Bloomquist was an interesting character. Great dirt track racer, mostly late models. One of the best, if not the best ever at his craft. I wonder if his cancer came back and he decided to just end it. He had been diagnosed a few years ago but then I stopped hearing about it and he kept racing. He started selling his race equipment at some point. May have needed cash for treatments. I don't know. Just speculating. I'm a big racing fan so this is quite sad to hear.

I don't know if Tcn in AK is here, but it hit me for her around Anchorage, it will be damned low indeed. Looked it up, and it will be just 1.6 degrees above the horizon max. It will rise just 10 degrees east of due south and set 10 degrees west of south. It will just barely pop up above the horizon. And depending on local topography, you might not even see it all.

ARGENTINA's SUPREME COURT CONFIRMS CRISTINA KIRCHNER's CORRUPTION CONVICTION
In a landmark ruling, Argentina’s Supreme Court unanimously upheld the conviction of former President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner in the “Public Works” case, confirming a six-year prison sentence and a lifetime ban from public office for defrauding the state through public works contracts.
The decision, just announced, marks a historic moment, making Kirchner the second ex-president since 1983 to face imprisonment for corruption.
The court rejected appeals from Kirchner’s defense, confirming the November 2024 ruling by the Federal Court of Cassation.
The sentence includes an $80 million dollar asset seizure. Kirchner, 72, may request house arrest due to her age.
The ruling bars her from running as a provincial legislator in upcoming elections, significantly impacting Argentina’s political landscape.

She has never had a yard, always lived at the shelter and apartments and she is crazy about being outdoors.

Tonight, the full Strawberry Moon is on the rise, with the moment of syzygy at 07:43 Zulu this morning, or 3:43AM EDT.
This is the peak of the major lunistice cycle, when the Moon's equatorial orbital inclination is greatest. This varies over an 18.6 year nodal precession cycle, and produces a range of equatorial inclination of 18.3 to 28.6 degrees. Thus, the Moon can appear 5.1 degrees higher or lower than the sun. The "sub-lunar" point varies accordingly.
At any rate, the full Moon tonight is going to be the lowest on the horizon that it can appear, and rise and set about as far south as it can. This varies with your latitude and longitude, but it will be minimum it can ever be for your location.

Cats get stressed very easy. They exhibit hiding and lethargic behavior as a result. She might want to hide under a bed or behind a couch.
Just make sure she knows where the litter box is, food and water and give her time. She'll be fine as long as she starts eating and drinking. Put her stuff near her and give her space to get some nourishment.

Sleeping and resting a lot is about 85% of a cat's existence, as far as I can tell. The other 15%, mine is desperate to get outside, but it seems that yours has been through some trauma and she's probably glad to be home where it's warm and dry and food is available.

I took in a stray cat who had been living feral for a while, turned out she was a rescue who got chased off by the cats already in the home.
I lured her indoors with food and left the door open all summer, and she never left the house.
It turned out she belonged to a house two doors down so I arranged with the lady to keep her and I renamed the cat Chloe.
Chloe didn't take a step outside for a year.

Outdoor cats are too much.
Even when they were here in Winter, I guarded my heart because so much can happen outside.
Trumpy would go to sleep with my late mother, which amused her.
I remember the cats being very zoomy at night. That's why a quiet Snowflake is disconcerting.

Feed her up, if she isn't eating check her mouth for bad teeth or injuries. Check if she is drooling badly, smell for bad breath. Check for limping or cringing if you pet her, check her neck and chest. and then her back and flanks for scabs. Look for soft lumps, those could be abscesses. Check her feet and legs for tenderness. Touch her nose on your cheek to feel if she has a fever, it should be cool.
Put your ear on her side to listen to her breathing for rattles or wheezes.
Check her scat in the litterbox to see if it is firm or diarrhea.
If she is still lo-rez after a week, consider a check up at the vet's.

I doubt it would stop it. We had to wear approved goggles. No one liked them. If those bionics had been approved, everyone would have worn them simply for the field of view.

Very nice buses were there to take kids home. I walked back to my apartment. Kids were all over the place. 11pm. Family Mart - kids were filling up on Ramen. Others were hanging out at a small park.

Cats eat grass to settle their stomachs. Sometimes they puke the grass back up again, and other times they pass through and are pooped out.
Sometimes they don't go all the way and like this evening one of the cats had a piece of grass sticking out of his ass. He was amazingly miffed when I pulled it out the rest of the way.

Democrats' New Effort to Outreach to Male Voters Features the Head of the DNC Whining and Crying That Fembot David Hogg Is Being Too Mean to Him
This is from yesterday but the Democrat-Media Party riots pushed it down the priority list.
There is leaked audio from a Zoom call between Democrat National Committee head Ken Martin and DNC Vice Chair for Choad Inspection David Hogg. Ken Martin is nearly in tears -- or actually in tears --as he complains that David Hogg is making his job too hard and that David Hogg isn't Positioning Him For Success.Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin told party leaders in a recent private conversation that he's unsure about his ability to lead the party because of infighting created by Vice Chair David Hogg. "I'll be very honest with you, for the first time in my 100 days on this job ... the other night I said to myself for the first time, I don't know if I wanna do this anymore," he said in a May 15 Zoom meeting of DNC officers, according to a recording obtained by POLITICO. In the recording, an emotional Martin describes being deeply frustrated by the fallout over Hogg, who has ignited a firestorm in the party by vowing to spend $20 million in safe-blue primaries to oust incumbent Democrats he believes are ineffective. Martin paused twice while appearing to choke up. The intraparty feud, Martin said on the recording, is making it more difficult for the party to do its work -- and had ruined his ability to demonstrate leadership. "No one knows who the hell I am, right? I'm trying to get my sea legs underneath of me and actually develop any amount of credibility so I can go out there and raise the money and do the job I need to to put ourselves in a position to win," Martin said, addressing Hogg. "And again, I don't think you intended this, but you essentially destroyed any chance I have to show the leadership that I need to. So it's really frustrating." It was an extraordinary admission from the chair of the Democratic Party, just a few months after being elected to lead the party through its post-2024 crisis. The nearly two-minute clip does not include the entire conversation, including how Hogg and others may have responded to Martin. Asked for an interview, Martin, 51, sent a statement through a spokesperson. In it, he said, "I'm not going anywhere." ... Asked for comment, party leaders rallied behind Martin, expressing confidence in his leadership. In a statement, DNC Associate Chair Shasti Conrad, who attended the Zoom meeting and was briefly mentioned on it, said Martin "showed vulnerability in a private conversation" and "stood up" for the Democratic Party. "He shows up with authenticity. Always," she said. "That's what you'll hear on the tape."He's an authentic pussy. Perfect representative of the Democrat Masculine Ideal. I took an old Buzzfeed quiz titled "Which Sex & the City Character Are You?" I was hoping for Samantha, but I got "DNC Head Ken Martin." I didn't even know he was on the show. I think AI took over the quiz to call me a f&ggot.

The Vigilant Fox
@VigilantFox BREAKING: Trump tells Fort Bragg troops their fallen brothers didn't die so LA could burn at the hands of "third world lawlessness." President Trump addressed the chaos in California head-on in a fiery speech at Fort Bragg--and the place ignited. "Before going further and want to say a few words about the situation in Los Angeles, California. Have you heard of the place?" "Where I've deployed thousands of National Guard troops and hundreds of Marines to protect federal law enforcement from the attacks of a vicious and violent mob and some of the radical left." "They say that's not nice, well if we didn't do it, there wouldn't be a Los Angeles--it would be burning today, just like the houses were burning a number of months ago." Then he delivered the moment that brought the house down: "Generations of army heroes did not shed their blood on distant shores only to watch our country be destroyed by invasion and third world lawlessness here at home, like is happening in California." "As commander in chief I will not let that happen. It's never going to happen."

This is correct. I knew it was all a mistake when Abu Ghraib broke. That story was pushed by that guy who was "most decorated soldier ever" or whatever with the help of his Leftist girlfriend. They were willing to undo the American war effort for some money/political points.
I said then, I say now, a country that does not want to survive, won't.
As a country we still are not committed to our own survival. Do we have the will to send crying mommies home? Do we have the will to take the people buying bricks for "peaceful protesters" down for criminal conspiracy? So far, no.

I don't have a problem with the idea of the invasion, even in hindsight. Saddam needed killing, and Iraq was an indirect but correct reaction to 9/11.
The problem is that after we dragged the cocksucker out of his spiderhole, that pussy Colin Powell jumped in with his stupid "you break it, you bought it" doctrine and had us stick around and try to fix the country. Bad move. Every bit of American blood after Saddam was captured is on his hands.

But ultimately they failed - the job was to roll up the Muslim world not sit in Iraq for a decade and a half to let the bad guys take potshots at us at leisure.
On April 9 the Army should have lefft-wheeled and driven up the highway to Damascus. They could have been parked on Dr. Assad's front lawn in 48 hours.
But instead Bush let the State Department goonies try to play Mr. Fixit and well here we are.

When Donald was a boy he started working for his father who was already a pretty wealthy real estate guy. I remember reading an article during the 2016 election that was original written years ago about his first job which was to maintain the tenant laundery machines in his father's apartment buildings.
They interviewed some of the tenants who had lived in the buildings at the time, many of them elderly, Jewish people, and they all praised young Donald as a very friendly and helpful young man who went out of his way to make sure everything was right for the tenants. Trump was born wealthy and these were very middle class people. I don't think it's an act, he was raised right.

Statistically, very few. Most of them won't live long enough to reach that point. Even setting aside the probability of suicide, these things are *very* hard on the body. Cross-sex hormones, dangerous surgeries with ongoing infection risks, a generally high-risk lifestyle including much higher than average incidence of drug abuse, etc.
Most of them aren't going to make it to the "memory care facility" stage.

The problem is that after we dragged the cocksucker out of his spiderhole, that pussy Colin Powell jumped in with his stupid "you break it, you bought it" doctrine and had us stick around and try to fix the country.
I thin that was the plan from the beginning and yes, that was the mistake. Hit them really hard, demolish their ability to do evil, the leave and tell them you'll come back if they don't behave themselves.
The American people do not have the patience for a long term project and the left will dig into the foundations and inevitably collapse it all -- sometimes so well that they get the right to later agree.

Illegals do pay sales tax. And the ones with stolen identities (or who were given SSNs by the government) probably pay some nominal income tax that all gets returned through the EITC and other carve-outs.
But illegals do not pay in more than they take out. If they did, we wouldn't have any illegals.

Yup. You *can* remake a civilization at swordpoint, but you have to slaughter a *lot* of fighting-age men to do it. The more alien the culture you are trying to conquer, the more slaughter it takes. A third is the minimum for a war between aliens. You have to not only defeat them, but destroy their culture by killing literally *everyone* who can fight for it and wiping out an entire generation, which amount to a large plurality or outright majority of males aged about 13 to about about 25. Slaughter the men, take the best of their women for wives and remake it in your own image under ruthless control for the next few generations.
It can be done, but the blood cost is astronomical - and there is no short cut. If you're not prepared to do that - and virtually nobody is, even if the capability is there - then don't talk about "nation building." Just kill people and break things until they back off, then go home. Then do it again every generation. That's the alternative.

Do I have my story wrong, or are domestic authorities not allowed to use REAL tear gas? (Probably due to lawyers?)
Gas mask training at Parris Island: March into a tent with your gas mask on, the gas is released, take your mask off, sing the Marine Corps Hymn at the top of your lungs, put the mask back on, clear it and then run out the door and up the road about 100 yards and back to help clear your lungs and then collapse on the ground puking, gagging and dripping snot. Good times.

Unhinged ABC "News" Liberal Terry Moran Will Get a Head Start on That Podcast Career He's Been Itching to Begin
And Chuck Todd gets a podcast! And Chris Cillizza gets a podcast! And Chris Cuomo gets a podcast! And Don LeMon gets a podcast! And Joy Reid gets a podcast!
And now, Jake Tapper's liberal pal Terry Moran gets a podcast! You all get a podcast! You'll all get the chance to be the Liberal Joe Rogan!Collin RuggFox confirms the story.
@CollinRugg BREAKING: Terry Moran is out at ABC News, according to CNN's Brian Stelter. ABC News, the same outlet that rigged the debate against Trump before the 2024 election, accused Moran of not being "fair." "We are at the end of our agreement with Terry Moran and based on his recent post, which was a clear violation of ABC News policies, we have made the decision to not renew." "At ABC News, we hold all of our reporters to the highest standards of objectivity, fairness, and professionalism, and we remain committed to delivering straightforward, trusted journalism." Laughable. Moran was a perfect representation of ABC News. He should not have been fired.

Here's the funny thing - I don't think trump is very conservative, he's transactional. He does what the people who voted for him want, and fuck everyone else. If progressives were less hostile toward him, he no doubt would be a lot nicer to them. But progressives can't play nice, and Trump isn't someone who lets water roll off his back.
And get this - he's a fucking professional troller. He will troll your stupid ass, find every flaw you have, and exploit it. This guy spent decades building skyscrapers in Manhattan. He knows every trick.

Not at all. Something that is worthless is irrelevant. It has no value, neither positive or negative. A blackened crumb that falls off your toast is worthless. It isn't something you want, but it also does you no harm. It just sits there. You can leave it on your plate or brush it into the wastebasket or let it fall to the floor and, on balance, your life is exactly the same regardless of which route you choose. There is no value and no harm. It's just a breadcrumb.
If the GOP were merely worthless, it would be much better than it is. But it sadly *isn't* worthless. It does actual harm while lying to the rubes about its ambitions and motivations. If they just sad in their offices eating their salaries and otherwise doing nothing, we'd better off than we are with them doing things.

This brings me to a point I've been pondering a while now: the left needs a reformation. I would argue HAD their reformation, becoming more radicalized and fundamentalist. But the left needs their reformation to cool down and cut out their leftist loons.
The left is a religion on all but name. They have their demented, evil versions of origins, morality, deity, law, blasphemy, sacraments, doctrine, and order of worship. But they are taken over by the screaming freaky extremists, their worst, and least sane extreme. They have to reform so they can purge this influence and get back to their origins of rights, freedom, compassion, care for the poor, and upholding the downtrodden.

That's literally all of them. No hyperbole. J-schools and ed-schools have been turning out borderline retarded glassy-eyed apparatchiks for generations.
Want to have a news outfit? Do not hire from J-schools. Not even once. Forcibly remove anyone who walks through your doors with a degree in journalism, organizational communications, mass media or related fields. The only media-related degrees on your payroll should be the technical staff who run the equipment who went to a trade school masquerading as a university - though even they should be viewed with suspicion.

One of the greatest lies TV reporters ever got away with was the lie that they're anything other than actors. They're not.

It does seem true that hot bodied females get more views than (maybe more informed and resourceful) average males. ShoeOnHead, Megyn, TeaParty gun girl from St Louis (hmmm, can't remember her name), so many get views for being (kinda) hot babes.

His base. Talking with Trump is like fornicating with the devil. Unless you can demonstrate that you put him in his place and humiliated him, better to say you didn't talk to him at all. And since the nightly news probably isn't going to cover the evidence to the contrary, the people you're lying to aren't even going to notice.
That kind of obvious lie is for the true believers, to make them more passionate. It isn't for the normals.

Entirely possible. When the "Speaking With American Men" thing broke a couple of weeks ago, one of the pieces of commentary was from a Dem strategist who didn't like it because she thought that base wanted more unhinged insanity, not less.
And she is probably right. The Dem base is increasingly insane. It's also diminishing, but getting more and more radical. And Karen - who is the heart and soul of the Party - does *not* want a phony "return to the center" or any such nonsense, she wants more molotov cocktails and derangement.
If things go like they have been, Newsom may well be able to make himself the shoe-in for the nomination. He'll lose 40 states, but he'll gallop of the nomination finish line. It comes down to whether any of the spooky bastards at the top have the will to prevent Newsom or someone like him from taking the nomination and leading them to electoral disaster.

The Dem base wants a radical. The *Party* may want to try a fake "return to the center" thing, but the base doesn't. The Dem base is increasingly unhinged. With the old factions fracturing, Party control is anyone's game at the moment. As you said, the Biden faction (which doesn't actually exist because it's really the Kalorama faction) is scrambling. The Clinton faction is dead. The old-school "Union Democrat" blue-collar faction is gone, not even a rump power in the Party anymore.

Pro-Palestinian activists dressed as Hamas terrorists reenacted the October 7 Massacre in central Brussels during the third annual Samidoun-organized "Resistance Festival," which ran from June 6 to Sunday, June 8.
Videos from the event show masked men in keffiyehs and army fatigues pointing prop guns, while other actors play dead bodies heaped on the floor. When the men playing Hamas terrorists see that everyone is dead, they put their arms around one another and raise their hands in victory. Fake blood is also seen in the video.
The re-enactment, accompanied by music and a voice-over about “From the river to the sea,” was met with whoops, cheers, and applause from the audience.

If the Democrat powers-that-be didn't want Bernie in '16 or '20, nor Fauxcahontas or Mayor Buttplug in '20, I doubt the DNC will clear the field for AOC, Newsom, Mayor Buttplug, Harris, or any other communist in '28.

Trump: If Los Angeles or California Enters a State of Insurrection, I Will Put It Down
Don't tell the New York Times: Right now, there's a Conspiracy Theory that lefties are ordering full-face masks so that their street paramilitaries can fight the police even after tear gas has been deployed. The "evidence" for this conspiracy theory is photographs and videotape of the antifa riot masks being delivered. In other words -- more RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION AI CHEAPFAKES!
President Trump on Tuesday made clear he's considering stronger federal intervention in response to violent demonstrations in Los Angeles, sparked by a wave of federal immigration enforcement raids. While not committing to action, Trump said invoking the Insurrection Act remained an option if the violence escalates. Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump detailed what he described as "terrible" scenes from the previous evening, alleging that rioters had ripped up sections of concrete from the streets and hurled them at law enforcement vehicles. "If we didn't get involved, right now, Los Angeles would be burning," he said. The president has already drawn criticism from California Democrats for authorizing the National Guard's deployment to Los Angeles without the governor's consent. But Trump defended the move and hinted that further steps--including the use of federal troops--may be necessary. The Insurrection Act, first passed in 1807, gives the president legal authority to deploy U.S. military forces domestically to address insurrections or large-scale civil disturbances. Trump used the threat of the Act during the "Summer of Love" riots in 2020, and on Tuesday, he suggested similar conditions may be developing in Los Angeles.

@JDVance Gavin Newsom says he didn't have a problem until Trump got involved. Both of these photos were taken before the president authorized the national guard to go protect our border patrol in California. Does this look like "no problem"?Newsom and his stooge Karen Bass fomented and encouraged the riots, because their entire political movement exists for one purpose: to promote mass migration into our country. It is their reason for being. Democratic leadership has no solution for the economy, for prosperity, or for security. They use their power when they're in the majority to import millions of illegal immigrants and when they're in opposition they do everything possible to prevent deportations. Under Newsom's leadership, medicaid was extended to all illegal immigrants in 2024. This means that he elected to take healthcare from impoverished and disabled Californians and give it to illegal aliens. And now, everything is President Trump's fault? Give me a break. If you want to know why illegal aliens flocked to your state, stop accusing Donald Trump. Look in the mirror. If you want to know why border patrol fear for their lives over enforcing the law, look in the mirror. It was your policies that encouraged mass migration into California. Your policies that protected those migrants from common sense law enforcement. Your policies that offered massive welfare benefits to reward illegal immigrants. Your policies that allowed those illegal migrants (and their sympathizers) to assault our law enforcement. Your policies that allowed Los Angeles to turn into a war zone. You sure as hell had a problem before President Trump came along. The problem is YOU.

I'm probably mistaken but the Federal sites are being protected by the NG and Marines. That's why they were called up, for the most part. The local, county, and state police are taking care of the commie filth. If I recall, the Gov blowdried dipshit forbid the NG from doing anything, hence the Fed callup. I believe back in '92, those riots, the NG was called up to assist the locals. It was fine then. Different Gov, different time.

The intent of what they are doing is to continue to grow the foreign army of invaders to grow so they can deny a republican form of government to heritage Americans.
I suspect the founders would see this as exactly what they were thinking of an insurrection.

The guy most responsible for the problems in LA is the head of SEIU, David Huerta. He put out the call to his thugs and things escalated from there.
He was arrested and arraigned, the last I heard.
So, no, the riots didn't start with ICE. They started because of an entitled thug.

It's that they don't get tired. because they are being organized and supplied with food and water.
Part of a riot is wearing out the other side. You'll never arrest everyone, but if you can tire them out and demoralize them, they go home. That is what the tear gas is about.
Gas masks, ear plugs, water bottles - these are elements of warfare, in that they prolong the violence. You need to focus on THAT. Don't just confront the rioter up front but find the vans supplying all the gear and food and water.

Oh, I agree, the sanctuary city policies are VERY insurrectiony and need to be dealt with. Harshly and strongly. And frankly, I'm disappointed in Trump for not yanking all federal funding from all states in "open rebellion against federal law" or however he would phrase it.
This particular riot though? Eh

Cory Booker was a sudden choice for a minute like 6 weeks ago. He's forgotten already.
These people are flashes in the pan, getting quick exposure and then fading, not nearly enough people remembering their names or why they were important for a second.
This pattern repeats every 4 years. Plus, Newsom has an approval rating of something like -27. Maybe he pulls off a 2nd or 3rd place in NH. Maybe. But that's after he comes 11th in South Carolina.

NO: The *money* behind this has limits to its stupidity in California, and eventually this will die down....
or
YES: The *money* behind this wants next-level play out of this, and will achieve it by paying/coordinating a blue-on-blue incident involving city PD/State Patrol vs National Guard/Marines onsite. Said incident will be attempted arrest of a federal troop who leaves company of his compadres or a shooting incident over jurisdiction.

ICE might target the graduate ceremony of Santa Monica High School on Wednesday.
Stephen Miller is a graduate of SAMO and hates the school and particularly the Latino Community there. ICE officers were seen circling the area today, assessing accessibility and security options.
Vindictive prick. If you’re at risk of being picked up by ICE, I suggest laying low for a while. Maybe the school can arrange to have the ceremony broadcast over the internet.
did Miller flunk Spanish or something? What the hell is wrong with this guy? And why are so many Republican males so deliberately ugly?
I just can't. They are so evil. They want to destroy lives and hope and joy. They are killing everything that makes American life special.
If they weren't trying to instigate, these leaks wouldn't happen
CAncel the ceremony. Mail the diplomas. Put ICE out of their jobs if we ever regain power. Get anyone out of the way who won't go along with it
No!! What else do we cancel? Weddings? Funerals? Life? These kids deserve a graduation ceremony & if we start cancelling our life events cuz of these pricks then they've won.

That's what "Reading the Riot Act" was in England in the day. It was a warning that if you didn't go before the reading was over, everyone was committing insurrection.

I've lived in L.A. and I'd go back if I found an opportunity, but it's true, most Angelenos stick to their area of the city, it's so sprawling and disjointed. It utterly lacks character as a city. I'm not sure how that happens. It's interesting to contemplate. (Giant characterless Asian cities are a different case.)
Posted by: Blonde Morticia at June 10, 2025 05:12 PM (TWzUj)
Announce more raids.
That he's targeting women, children and families.
Send zero federal troops.
Let the riots get out of hand. Let the whole city burn. The City of Los Flamebales.
And say, "I'd like to act, but no federal judge has given me permission and the Supreme Court says I have to wait for permission from them to do anything."

Correct, it was basically "disperse or we open fire". They didn't like to open fire often (not so much out of humanitarian concerns as it was just a legal hassle, judges tended to side with the mob), but it was the warning.

My theory is that a city needs some constrictions to grow fast enough in a small enough location to get a city character. NY is on an island, Boston on a peninsula on a bay, River fronts many times.
LA has plenty of constrictions but too many so it breaks up into a small cluster of townlets. The Harbor area is down by Long Beach

The supporters of the protests are a motley (no relation to Mike) crew. One is The National Action Network (NAN):
"a civil rights organization founded by Reverend Al Sharpton, is funded by a variety of sources, including corporations, unions, and individual donors. NAN has historically received funding from major corporations such as AT&T, Viacom, Walmart, Comcast, McDonald's, and Coca-Cola, among others. Additionally, unions like the American Federation of Teachers and the Service Employees International Union have also supported NAN financially. NAN also receives funding from individual donations, with some prominent philanthropists like Robert F. Smith being long-term supporters."

What's the difference between ordering a state militia to attack a federal facility and permitting an informal state militia to attack a federal facility?
BTW, I like the recent federal clown judge ruling that Trump can't use the AEA to deport.
Which is basically "it can't be an invasion because there must be a declared invasion."
Who declares an invasion?
"Well, the President except I find that he must delineate a long list facts to support his declaration that is all-but a declaration of war."
Is that in the statute?
"Well, no but that's not the point. I am the law!"
He's basically saying Congress must declare a war, after response to an actual physical invasion by troops lead by the leader of another country, before the AEA can be invoked.

Judge Dismisses Justin Baldoni's $400 Million Defamation Suit Against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds and the New York Times
Plus: Simone Biles Attacks Riley Gaines
The couple spoke with the New York Times to get their defamation more play.
A federal judge has thrown out actor Justin Baldoni's $400 million lawsuit against actress Blake Lively and her husband, actor Ryan Reynolds, marking a decisive legal victory for the Hollywood couple. Baldoni had accused Lively of making false sexual harassment claims as part of an alleged reputational power play. However, the court found no actionable evidence to support the claims, dismissing the entire suit and paving the way for potential countersanctions against Baldoni and his affiliates. Key Details: Judge Lewis Liman ruled that Lively's statements in her civil rights complaint were legally privileged and non-actionable. The court also dismissed claims against Reynolds, Lively's publicist Leslie Sloane, and the New York Times. Lively's legal team is now seeking attorneys' fees, treble damages, and punitive damages against Baldoni and his Wayfarer company. Diving Deeper: The legal saga between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni stemmed from explosive allegations and counterclaims tied to their work on the film It Ends With Us. In December 2024, Lively filed a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department accusing Baldoni and producer Jamey Heath of sexual harassment and related misconduct. Baldoni responded with a $400 million defamation lawsuit, alleging Lively fabricated the claims to salvage her image following turmoil on the film's press tour. On Monday, U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman delivered a firm rebuke of Baldoni's claims. In a written opinion, Liman found that Lively's statements, confined to her CRD complaint, were privileged under the law and thus not grounds for defamation. Liman also dismissed related accusations that Reynolds, Sloane, or The New York Times knowingly spread false information about Baldoni, citing a lack of evidence that they acted with "actual malice."I get the idea that allegations in a lawsuit are privileged and cannot be the basis of a defamation claim, but how does that insulate them from repeating the defamations to a New York Times reporter, or getting their publicist to spread the allegations around?
Liberal judges love finding ways to dismiss defamation lawsuits against liberals and liberal propaganda organizations.
... Lively's attorneys, Esra Hudson and Mike Gottlieb, celebrated the ruling, calling it a "total victory and a complete vindication" for their client and those "dragged into [Baldoni's] retaliatory lawsuit." They further indicated intentions to pursue legal costs and damages from Baldoni and others associated with Wayfarer for what they termed "abusive litigation." The fallout from this legal drama may not be over yet. Judge Liman gave Baldoni's team until June 23 to amend and refile only limited claims regarding tortious interference and breach of implied contract. The broader defamation effort, however, is effectively dead in the water.In related news of lefties defaming people, overrated tumbling fireplug and Noted Quitter Simone Biles attacked Riley Gaines out of the blue for trying to keep men out of women's sports.
Gaines commented on this newest example of Stolen Women's Valor: a boy is now playing on a girl's softball team and you'll never guess. It turns out the boy is much, much better at softball than girls, and he "dragged" his team to the championship based mostly on his ability to absolutely dominate the female batters he was facing.
Trans Pitcher Marissa Rothenberger Drags Champlin Park to MN Girls Softball State TitleIt's very easy to win a girl's softball championship when your starting pitcher is Thor, God of Thunder.
The date was June 6, 2025, when for the first time in recorded history, a transgender biological male (XY) won a state championship in Minnesota Girls (XX) high school softball. Marissa Rothenberger -- born Charlie Dean Rothenberger until he began transitioning to a she at just 9 years old -- is now 6'0″ tall junior and the No. 1 pitcher for Champlin Park high school girls softball, which on Friday morning defeated Bloomington-Jefferson 6-0 in the 4A Minnesota State Championship. Rothenberger is the ace of the team's pitching staff and probably the best high school softball pitcher in the state of Minnesota. On Friday, the towering 17-year-old with long blonde hair pitched a complete-game shutout and held Bloomington Jefferson to just 3 hits, bringing Marissa's 2025 pitching statistics to a rest at 94 IP, 0.74 ERA, 0.65 WHIP and .176 BAA.
Last night, a man single-handedly carried his high school in Minnesota to a Class 4A Softball Championship.

Biles exploded at Riley Gaines for telling the truth. Biles even insinuated that Riley Gaines might be a little transgender herself:
Olympic legend Simone Biles is under fire for attacking former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines and defending the participation of biological males in female sports competitions. Key Details: Biles called Gaines "truly sick" and a "sore loser" in response to her criticism of a transgender athlete leading a Minnesota high school softball team. Biles suggested sports could introduce a transgender category but accused Gaines of bullying. The backlash was swift, with critics calling Biles' comments hypocritical and out of touch with concerns about fairness in women's sports. Diving Deeper: Simone Biles is now at the center of a growing firestorm over her recent defense of transgender athletes competing in women's sports. The gymnastics icon took aim at Riley Gaines, a 12-time NCAA All-American swimmer turned outspoken advocate for protecting women's sports, igniting a wave of backlash across social media. The controversy began when Gaines criticized the Minnesota State High School League for celebrating Champlin Park High School's softball championship -- a title secured in large part by a biologically male player, junior pitcher Marissa Rothenberger. The league posted a team photo with comments disabled, prompting Gaines to speak out on X. Biles jumped into the fray by attacking Gaines directly. "You're truly sick, all of this campaigning because you lost a race. Straight up sore loser," Biles wrote, referencing Gaines' 2022 competition against UPenn transgender swimmer Lia Thomas. In a follow-up post, Biles said Gaines should be "uplifting the trans community" and proposed creating a "transgender category in all sports." But Biles' attempt to frame her remarks as inclusive quickly backfired. "You bully them... One thing's for sure is no one in sports is safe with you around!!!!!" she added, escalating the personal nature of her criticism. ... Others accused Biles of ignoring the central issue: biological differences between men and women, especially in competitive athletics. "Simone Biles benefited from fair competition her whole career," one commenter wrote. "Now she's endorsing policies that erase that fairness for the next generation of girls."
NEW: Olympic gymnast Simone Biles has a meltdown after Riley Gaines criticized Minnesota for allowing a boy to take a high school girls softball team to the State Title.
— Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) June 7, 2025
Biles accused Gaines of looking like a man as she argued in favor of men playing in women’s sports.
What a… pic.twitter.com/eYc72KdfJL
Note that Biles attacked Riley for being a buff female athlete, telling her to "pick on someone her own size" which, she then added, would be a "man." She's basically claiming that Riley Gaines looks like a tranny. This from a woman who looks like Herschel Walker in one-piece bathing suit. This stubby, jacked Mannish Racist is now saying she didn't mean to be a bully and attack people for no reason.

I didn't really bother mentioning it. The basic story is that Blake Lively attempted a power-play to take away a movie from the guy who produced it and starred in it, and she was angry that he hadn't given in, so she invented a "sexual harassment" claim against him and then seeded that story in the press.
The guy, Justin Baldonni, sued her and her bitchass husband for defamation.

I'm not sure Biles' outburst and attack were some well-thought plan. Biles is highly erratic and mentally ill, and I think admittedly so. If nothing else, she was abused by Larry Nasser and all the ogres at USA gymnastics.
As to the "your own size" comment, I think Biles is an idiot and was confusing Gaines with the much-taller Lia Thomas in that famous pic.

It was made timely. Also prior to the lawsuit they had a sit down meeting where concerns were addressed and the future defendant agreed they would be addressed and corrected . Apparently the lawsuit was only filed after allegedly what was agreed to be stopped or never to be started at the meeting subsequently occurred.

I can blame her for keeping silent when her fellow team mates were complaining, then claiming the high ground later and people acting like she was some crusader (so to speak) against Nassar. She came in late and said "oh yeah, me too."

You're saying two different things, one of which I agree with and one I don't:
"I can blame her for keeping silent when her fellow team mates were complaining" -- Meh. I can see why should would keep quiet about something so personal, invasive and embarrassing. Especially when she was flying high and at least reaping some benefit from the years of abuse. I'll give her a pass on this.
"then claiming the high ground later and people acting like she was some crusader (so to speak) against Nassar" -- I agree with you on this.

It is impossible to make good decisions based on lies, and it is harder to succeed in the world as an individual or as a group when there is a system of lies or beliefs that conceal truths. The people who claim you have to search for the truth based on facts do have a point, though they have to have enough humility to realize they may get destroyed because they insist on looking for it

I know there's a general disdain for "professional" wrestling, but if you haven't watched some of the promos Kaufman cut while claiming to be the Intergender Wrestling Champion you are missing some of his best work. He totally *got* what it takes to be a good "heel" in the wrestling world, and he just pushed and pushed and pushed everyone's buttons. It was genius-level performance that a good chunk of the world wrote off as "only" professional wrestling.

It's a clusterfuck all around. Baldoni seems like a scumbag, but some of the things he's accused of are bullshit. Like the allegation he came into Lively's trailer when she was half-naked and breast-feeding. She invited him in, there's a text about it. So I think this is a "Pox on Both Houses" situation.

Agreed. It's silly to even be having these conversations. Men are obviously stronger than women, and chopping of kids dicks does not make them girls, and is some sick borderline satantic shit.
And if adults want to make themselves eunuchs, well, whatever. Taxpayers shouldnt pay for it, but otherwise, I guess they can do whatever they want.
There really isn't anything to debate about (in good faith) on this one.

That’s according to a recent report from Reduxx, which cites court documents showing Heather Rothenberger petitioned the Hennepin County District Court in 2017 to amend her child’s birth certificate.
The petition was granted, changing the child’s name from “Charlie Dean” to “Marissa” and the sex designation to female, Reduxx reports.
It says “parents” in the article, but just the mom’s name is listed for the court records. Is that normal?

They do, but not because girls throw harder but because they train to do so. They have the technique etc down. When a dude learns to do that you get... well you get like 7 shutouts in a row from this guy.

I remember back in grade school in the 60s, almost all the girls couldn't throw overhand, hence the insult "you throw like a girl" directed at weak-armed boys.
But we had one tomboy girl who could throw AND swing the bat. And she got picked first on the playground more than once...

The rule makes legal and logistical sense.
Until you run in to a situation where it doesn't. But, you know, bad facts bad rules all of that.

Every plumber, actor, writer, politician, accountant, hit man, and extortionist is in the job to get paid. But that doesn't make it their job. He was a comedian, that was what he was billed at and claimed to be. Other comedians love him. Almost nobody actually found him to be funny, though.
I think the comparison to Norm Macdonald is great: he was all that Kaufman was without the aggressively abrasive personality and the lack of comedy. He did surreal stuff that made people laugh.

Can't figure out at this point if Pelosi is deliberately lying or whether she has cognitive decline and really believes this.

>>Which is what Norm MacDonald did. But he made it funny.
At his core, Norm MacDonald wanted to be funny, just not jokey, yuck, yuck funny, his comedy was weaving the story, aside or observation to the edge of absurdity and then snatching it back into the payoff.

@Simone_Biles I wanted to follow up from my last tweets. I've always believed competitive equity & inclusivity are both essential in sport blah blah blah

She didn't write that. Someone else wrote it, and it was explained to her that it was to be posted in her account.

Yes, her sponsors wrote it b/c I'm sure they were getting inundated with calls to fire her. We're getting better at this...

My proposal will have a much much higher yield. Plus, a much bigger ripple/demo effect. Naturally the "social telegraph" in illegal labor circles is very efficient. When the cousin at Smithfield tells the family that La Migra is systematically cleansing that and other large meat processors of illegals, the wider effect will be enormous.

Was their "exuberance" caused by their "spark of divinity"? Or is that only MS-13.

They had "shorts" for at least one game, like a beer league softball team.

I would've told Biles to type her apology on a piece of paper, roll it into a tight ball and shove it up her ass.

It works best when you say it in an Australian accent.
Like, "that sheila is an absolute unit"!

I first saw her in "Accepted" (2006) with Justin Long. She showed off her "talents" quite nicely in that movie.
She was also in the "Sisterhood of Traveling Pants" movies.

simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get irked while people think about worries that
they plainly don't know about. You managed to hit the nail
upon the top and also defined out the whole thing
without having side effect , people can take a signal.
Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
