Common Tater, the chef types call that "compound butter", mixing in herbs/etc to butter. Agreed, butter with garlic and chives on beef (or chicken, or ..... a cracker) can be quite good. I make them with fresh lemon zest and garlic to put on grilled fish.

Yes, and historians believe the ancient Romans had something quite similar to Worcestershire sauce, too.
Here’s a question for the ever so brainy Horde. There are these artifacts that are fairly rare from Roman times. Maybe a couple dozen extant, made of bronze. They are called Dodecahedron due to their shape. But nobody really knows what purpose they served. Some have suggested some sort knitting device for making gloves, a device for estimating range or height. Candlestick holder has been rejected as well.

That garum from Roman times was also an anchovy sauce. And I would assume fermented as well due to a lack of refrigeration. Apparently garum was ubiquitous at food establishments throughout the city, like abottle of ketchup here in the States, each with their own recipe.
Word I learned from cooking tv is 'umami', the flavor of meat. An enhancement. They say Worchestershire has it. Mushrooms, too. I like both with various meats, that's all I can say.

But I think it would be use-case based:
Probably the most useful combination is orange, blue, grey (physical, mental and luck)

• Hedge Fund management
• Entrepreneur
Purple (shape-shift) would be impossible to keep a wardrobe. Does this include changes in mass and volume? Go from Jekle to Hyde, Banner to Hulk? Andre the Giant to a 4'2" petite? I'm trying to think of the logistics in the process of changing form - not necessarily something you want to do without preparation and definitely not in public.

In Korea (and I'm sure other Asian countries) they use a fish sauce in place of soy sauce sometimes. It is extremely salty, though, saltier than soy sauce.
Posted by: Farquad
The word "sauce" works two ways in English. Sauce for something, like steak sauce, and sauce of something, like tomato sauce. Finding out fish sauce is the latter and not the former weirds out Westerners.
I have a bottle of Thai fish sauce. It's made by putting fish and salt in a container, leaving it out in the sun, waiting for it to ferment, and straining out the remaining solids. Sounds gross, but it has its place. It's protein salt.

I have a bottle of fish sauce from an Asian grocery store. You use it sparingly in anything you make. I can use Kikkoman's Low Sodium Soy (the best-flavored commercial soy by far) much more liberally than any straight-out-of-the-bottle fish sauce. Fish sauce is overpowering in anything but tiny doses.

Threshing flails look like nunchucks, which were also threshing tools, for rice. Western ones usually had a long handle and and a short business end, so you didn't thresh yourself.

Garum was a fish based sauce, rather salty, and one of the mainstay condiments of the Roman Empire. They used it throughout the Empire, for centuries. It was made by fermenting fish with salt, and presumably was very much like present day Asian fish sauces.

I don't know where it originated, but when you think about it, it is served across the entire country. I don't know if there's anything like it in other countries. Chili sauces, sure, but not horseradish. I have to think that one's uniquely American, or is uniquely American now.

Probably closer to Noriega.
Maduro has not only used Venezuelan government money but much of his own money to pay the cartels to smuggle people and drugs to the US. He also sent TdA.
Unless all the reporting is wrong Trump just authorized the military to take out the cartels. And he put a $50 million bounty on Maduro.

Posted by: Romeo13 at August 08, 2025 11:39 PM (mP0Kj)
Intertubes say:
" the name comes from the comparison of the head to a star. Apparently it is used earliest to describe the weapon in Danish, is adopted into German and reaches English in the 17th. century."

There was a special group that went in to pull the Venezuelan opposition leaders who had been hiding in the Argentine embassy out of Caracas a couple of months ago. I suspect they entered through Colombia since Maduro shut down direct flights from Colombia soon after that. It was sort of like the whole Argo mission to get the other Americans out of the Canadian embassy in Teheran once upon a time.
No idea if a team could extract Maduro against his will, but I bet he is having security scans of the dust bunnies under his bed this week.
(also, it could be pushed in Congress that Venezuela has declared defacto war on the US at some point)

My steaks don't need sauce.
15 years ago, my friend went to put some A1 on a steak I cooked for him and I threw an apple at him and hit him in the head before he could ruin it. He was pissed, but not as pissed as I was. I told him to at least take a bite before dousing it in sauce that hides the magnificent flavor of a perfectly seasoned and cooked NY strip. He later said it was the best steak he had ever had.

I have to be careful with commercial horseradish because of the sulfites in it. It turns brown after grating.
From what I remember from my maternal grandparents' stories, you grate it into vinegar soon before you intend to use it. Maybe outdoors to keep from weeping.
I like horseradish slathered on a browned pot roast before finishing the low temperature phase of cooking. Changes the flavor, isn't hot. Haven't made it in years.

Possibly, but they are not Roman, they are only found in Germanic lands, and also remember that the first developments usually are complicated and overbuilt, like Gastrophetes and arbolests coming before crossbows.
Refinements come after the initial develpment.
The argument that they were used for knitting falls apart with the analysis of the objects for repetitive wear: the knobs don't show wear around the necks, but they do show wear where you would expect on the knobs if the object were regularly set on the ground in various faces.

This is fascinating from the paper, putting together their scenario for the Younger Dryas impact. It wasn't one giant impact, but more like a shotgun blast, and one with a lot of buckshot.
On a faithful day some 12,800 year ago, the Erf slammed into the debris tail of comet break up. This comet was likely the progenitor of the Taurid stream, and current Comet Encke is likely a remnant.
The Northern hemisphere, particularly NA, was deluged with airbursts. A shitton of dust and soot was deposited in the atmosphere, triggering a several year "impact winter" event.
The shockwaves and all that destabilized the ice sheet margins, leading to the collpase of some of those glacial lakes and a bunch of freshwater going into the ocean, which messed up the thermohaline circulation. Temp dropped 18F, and sea level rose 16' in a very short time.

Imagine you a get a touching airburst, or even a impact from big fragment on top of a big glacial ice sheet. It throw chunks of glacial ice far and wide. That had something to do with the Carolina bay theory.

There is a theory (not loved by anyone) that Drake's Passage was iced over from South America to Antarctica, which moderated the temperature and storminess in the Southern hemisphere, and that when the ocean level rose, it floated the ice sheet off its moorings and broke up, to both increase the storminess, change the climate to cooler weather in South America, and raise the ocean level yet further.
To date the only evidence is secondary, and it is helped along only with a lot of handwaving.

Our current period is called the Holocene, which sort of means "whole new". A whole new world. That was after the temperature rebounded from the Younger Dryas. This is our modern world, the last half of which is pretty much all of known human history.
Before then, there were a bunch of megafauna species roaming NA. Mammoths, elephants, woolly rhinos, lions, and other big cats. Also giant beavers (the size of a bear) and giants sloths. Also humans, the Clovis culture.

I've only done one head replacement, years ago, on a isuzu off highway diesel and had a journeyman mech doing most of the work. It involved some sort of clocking attachment to the wrench.

I am not kidding when I say that it was eerie how many of them both of us answered with almost identical responses! 😲😲😲

Dial in the setting and ease up to it. My old SnapOn has a dial indicator in front of the handle.

There is a thing called a torque-angle gauge, which is basically a protractor device. You torque to X torque value, attach the gauge, and move the bolt head an additional angle of degrees. I don't think torque-to-yield head bolts showed up in mainstream automotive applications until the early '90's. Studebaker V8's have 18 bolts per head, and they are 7/16 NC, and Grade 5. They can definitely be reused, unless somehow damaged.

I was taught (not in a classroom, but...) that you followed the specified sequence *several* times:
1st pass-- just to "snug" by feel
2nd pass-- 20lb less than final value
3rd pass-- 10lb less than final value
4th pass-- final torque value

I have an ancient Snap-On inch-pound torque wrench that belonged to my father. Round dial, reads 0-150 inch pounds in either direction. You just pull on it until the dial reaches your desired torque value, then stop. I used it this week to to torque the valve body bolts in the transmission I am doing.

Well, thanks to Mike mentioning it, I had to go out an observe High Loon. Clouds had moved in, but it was still shining nicely. Altitude was 36 deg, higher than the Sun at winter solstice here, 32 degrees. Still relatively low, but nothing like June this year, where the altitude was 26.5 degrees, and 26.1 the day after full moon.
That was the lowest we'll see the full moon for another 18.6 years. Things worked out just right to get full moon very close to the solstice and minimum declination during the peak of the 18.6 major lunistice cycle.
The Moon is a harsh orbital mistress with all her cycles.

Also extension pointed straight down. If he was working on a V8, that would rule out a head bolt. Carb flange bolt, maybe? And if he was using a reducer and 3/8 drive socket, maybe the "ting" was the socket splitting?

Not necessarily. I think most newer diesel engines use TTY. I don't know about newer gas engines except Subaru, which is TTY. Older Chevy and Ford weren't TTY but I can't ever remember any of my wrench twisting friends ever reusing a head bolt.TTY requires a specific torque pattern but you can definitely snap a head off. I don't mess around at that level anymore, I know a guy. I did just finish putting a new cylinder and crank in my baby Stihl yesterday but it came fully assembled.

Old?!!..Dial.indicator?
My first torque wrench was a 50# max Craftsman, with a beam mounted on the socket connection extending parallel to the shaft and bent 90 degrees to create a pointer, which was over a plate, engraved with numbers that was fastened to the shaft with the numbers extending at a right angle to the shaft. 0 to 50 to the right and 0 to 50 to the left. As you tested on the handle, the beam would deflect to the pressure applied.
I rarely use it, but it's still in the original box in one tool cabinet out in the garage.

AFAIK, beam type torque wrenches are still made. Pretty hard for them to go out of calibration. The click-type ones, you are relying on internal mechanism to remain in calibration, or else you are just guessing. The dial-type Snap-On I have seems to be basically a dial indicator gauging the deflection of an internal beam, I think.

Wrong. Doesn't fit. Not even close! So, I took it to the store to return & credit my account.
Manager got snippy with me, that *I* ordered the wrong part, and they cannot accept the return. Well, I explained, I did NOT order any specific part number-- the customer service person decided which part I needed and he was wrong...
Took a while, but I got the charge removed. As soon as the ZERO balance statement arrived, I closed my account. F 'em.

I got interested in the history of what's dubbed "Lunar Theory", basically the equations that tell you where the Moon gonna be at at some time in the future.
Think of simple Keplerian ellipse. The Moon, due to all the perturbations and complexities deviates from that. By the mid 18th century, they were getting good, and needed about 30 extra perturbation terms for those deviations.
By the start of the 20th Century, it was up to 1400 terms. Now mind you, this was done before computers.
When computers came along, direct numerical integration of the mess of the whole solar system became possible, and that has taken over. JPL's DE440 is the current gold standard.
However, analytical work still continues, and some Frog group has the latest and greatest. It has tens of thousands of perturbation terms. With the numerical methods, you can miss interesting periodic behavior. By working out these 10s of thousands of periodic deviations, they're looking for interesting cycles.

and follow the pattern
If you don't need something like Snap On, I've had good luck with Stanley tools. They have better metal and better ergonomics than similar priced tools. The only tool that broke is a 1/4" ratchet and I'll never say that I abused the 1/4" to 3/8" drive booster socket with a cheater pipe.
However, when it broke (10yrs) I called Stanley and the lady said, we'll send you a new one". - Where do I mail the old one for verification? "Not necessary" OK, that's good business.

I guess possibly both but if it's too dickish I don't know if it can be funny. Anyway, the trend is walking up/driving up to people who have just had a car accident and telling them "You're not allowed to park here." You let me know. I don't know what to think of this. It's kind of funny but I remember my couple of crack-ups and I was in no mood at all for joking at the time. Little scottie terrier has the cutest walk. Duck loves her puppies. The right kind of otter. When you got beef but you got no energy. This bear is giving me a come hither look and I don't know whether I should trust him. I've been hurt before.

Every once in a while, probably once a year, a moose wanders into the hospital through the automatic doors. I assume the moose just wants to warm up, but there are plants indoors too which might look kinda tasty after eating bark all winter.
But I'd rather clean up after a moose than a monitor lizard. Ick.

Adriana Ribeiro, 42, and her boyfriend Marcone Cardoso, 26, had parked at an overlook in Venda Nova do Imigrante, in the state of Espirito Santo, on Monday after attending a party.
The pair stopped off at the cliff's edge, which is known as a popular spot for hang-gliding, to lock lips.

Kelley was diagnosed with diffuse midline glioma, a rare form of brain cancer, in Sept 2024. The turbo cancer spread quickly and overcame her less than a year later.

The journals have some of the best unintended humor or “oops” recorded. Grizzlies hadn’t reallly been seen to the outside world and was unknown to science. The various Indian nations, as they travelled up the river kept regaling them of the size, ferocity, and general orneriness of these bruins.
Lewis got a little cocky, and decided that while the Indians prepared to meet grizzlies in the same ceremonies as going to war, they were obviously no match for modern rifles and besides, we’re a disciplined Army unit. They were all excited about seeing these grizzly’s. Then they started seeing these HUGE tracks. Hmmmm….
The grizz in those days would usually attack on sight. “I’d rather fight two Indians than one of these bears” was his updated opinion. “I rather expect the parties curiosity is pretty well satisfied with respect to these gentlemen”. Another time Lewis was walking on the bank alone, watching something and he discovered a grizzly had snuck up on him “within 20 paces”. He instantly raised his rifle and also recollected it was not loaded. He tried to slowly back away.

So they decided to test for everything just to be sure. Really weird shit, eveything from treadmills and poked and prodded and all orifices inspected and detected, sitting with feet in ice water whilst trying to solve math equations.
Anyway, stool samples had to be turned in every day and everybody was tired of that. I think it was Lovell who boxed up one of his exemplars and wrapped it up with a bow. That didn’t go over very well. One of the Rorschach tests, one was actually a blank piece of paper. Conrad reached over and flipped it. “It’s upside down”.

The Army G2 or whatever it’s called investigated the highly skilled machinists at Wendover, in the 509th Composite. Turns out about a dozen were wanted felons and escaped convicts. Somehow they got in the Army, figuring that was a good place to hide.
They didn’t know what to do with them. Tibbetts called them in one by one, they about shit when he read them their dossier. He said if they kept their mouth shut and did good work, he would keep their files on ice. If not, not.

This could have absolutely enormous implications. Florida, Texas missed out on a Congressional seat in 2020. Blue states are over counted.
“I have instructed our Department of Commerce to immediately begin work on a new and highly accurate CENSUS based on modern day facts and figures and, importantly, using the results and information gained from the Presidential Election of 2024.
People who are in our Country illegally WILL NOT BE COUNTED IN THE CENSUS. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Gonna have to finally do my back homework. Was involved in this particular kerfuffle in various ways and spent a lot of time in the area, including the disputed part, years back.

There is only one deal with Putin that Trump cares about, the war in Ukraine. Trump has been singularly focused on this since the beginning of his campaign. His team has been working on this and so has he as recently as his huge tariffs on India for selling Russian oil.
Does anyone really think after watching Trump defy every "expert" with deal after deal and after ending 7 wars around the world he would agree to meet Putin on US soil if the deal wasn't at least 99.9% done?

It's an absolute pleasure watching a cutthroat businessman who plays for the US negotiate instead of some hack career hack lawyer politician. We have won so huge over the last 7 months I think some are getting spoiled.
There has never been anything like what Trump has accomplished in 7 months and likely won't be in any of our lifetimes. It's incredible where we and the world are today as compared to last November.

It doesn't make me think Trump is smart. Not by any means.
It makes me believe more than ever that grabbing someone at random, that owns land, and is out of debt ... kind of a variation of the Old Greek System ... would give us better leaders than Nixon or Reagan. Certainly better than any Bush.
Its not that Trump is so smart. Its just that everyone else has been so purposely stupid for so long.

Wait, there's a 6th still alive, Rusty Schweickart. He was the lunar module pilot for Apollo 9, the LEO test mission of the lunar module. He's thus technically Apollo, but never left earth orbit.

The all-wise DDG says:
Paint or other coatings are permitted, but they must not interfere with the natural properties of the wood or create an overly slick surface.
Manufacturers must ensure that the wood grain is visible and that no alterations have been made to enhance performance beyond the natural properties of the wood.

I was struck how sharp these guys were. Tom Stafford has an interview where he’s 90, not too long before he died, and he was talking extemporaneously as the term goes, on at length about highly technical issues. I remember my gob being smacked because at the time Biden was “in the news” for being a barely ambulatory vegetable while everyone around him tried to deny it.
I liked flying with the old crusty SOBs with about 9000 flight hours. “Get in the goddamned aircraft!” he says. Yessir… Their knowledge and experience increases the odds of survival if something mechanical happens. Maybe it is unsolvable .. maybe not.

This will be a less that complete repeat of Apollo 8. They're going to whip around the Moon, but not enter lunar orbit.
Hell, the current Block I incarnation of the SLS, with IPS second stage is not capable of entering Lunar orbit and then getting out. Well, it technically could, but the fuel margins would be too low for manned comfort.

@FoxNews Sen. Elizabeth Warren endorses Zohran Mamdani for NYC mayor. REPORTER: "Democratic socialism--is this what the party should look like?" WARREN: "Yes, you bet!"
Deport him now.
Jennifer Sey
@JenniferSey I gift you with the dumbest thing you'll read today. Where is the evidence that masculinity is crippling society? I can't with how dumb this is. From a journalistic perspective, there is no evidence that masculinity is crippling society. There is more evidence, in fact, that calling all men toxic for being masculine is crippling society. But they just print it like it's true. ALSO, the "trans" movement is the most adherent to "traditional gender roles." The movement thinks lipstick and a hairstyle makes a person a woman. The movement thinks if a man likes "feminine things" (???) he must be a woman, penis be damned. I mean the whole thing...
Anti-Israel campus leader Mahmoud Khalil was ripped Thursday over his attempt to "justify" the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas terror attacks in a recent interview -- with elected officials saying it boosts the Trump administration's case seeking to kick him out of the country. New York and national officials condemned Khalil for his statements seemingly sympathizing with Hamas' rationale for the cowardly assault on Israel that killed more than 1,200 people and took another 251 hostage in Gaza. "Mahmoud Khalil must be immediately deported," Upstate New York Rep. Elise Stefanik told The Post. The Republican congresswoman has long lambasted Khalil, a green card holder, for his role in fomenting virulent anti-Israel protests at Columbia University. "He is a chief pro-Hamas terrorist agitator who contributed to the antisemitic encampments at Columbia, the rioting and violent takeover of Hamilton Hall, and the harassment and physical assault of Jewish students," she said. "Naturalized citizenship is an earned privilege of our nation, and he has not earned it. The government should continue taking every lawful step necessary to remove this enemy from the United States," Brooklyn Assemblyman Kalman Yeger seethed. Speaking with New York Times journalist Ezra Klein on his podcast this week, Khalil, 30, called Oct. 7 a "desperate" moment which Palestinians "had to reach" in order to have their voices heard. "Unfortunately, we couldn't avoid such a moment," he said, when asked about the attack by the terror group -- which is still holding 50 hostages in Gaza, of whom just about 20 are believed to still be alive.UPenn loses another big donor over its embrace of Middle Eastern shithole Nazism.
Please hire these people. They're the best and brightest.
Donor Stephen Levin is no longer making donations toward his $15 million pledge for naming rights to the Neural and Behavioral Sciences Building, the Daily Pennsylvanian reported. Although he yanked his support in November 2023, it is coming to light this week with the student newspaper article. "Penn has quietly removed the name of 1967 College graduate Stephen Levin from the behavioral sciences building he previously endowed after the longtime University donor halted his contributions over the administration's handling of antisemitism on campus," the newspaper reported Wednesday. According to a letter obtained by the Daily Pennsylvanian, Levin had told former President Liz Magill: "Today Penn is far from the University I attended, along with my father and two of my sons." "Furthermore, I want my name removed from the building and no longer want to be associated with Penn. Penn is an embarrassment not only to the Jewish community but also has lost its luster as a superb Ivy league school."
The City University of New York's York College's Master of Social Work program has eliminated the term "field" from its curriculum, citing its potential to cause trauma for black Americans due to the word's association with slavery. The decision, detailed in the college's course catalogue, reflects a broader trend among social work programs to adopt inclusive language. The York College program chose "to create an anti-racism learning environment by adopting alternative terminology in the place of the word 'field,'" its catalogue states. "The decision was made by the MSW Team due to the term's association with a painful historical era that inflicted significant harm on Black Americans/African Americans during their enslavement in America," it adds.Hardball, finally: Florida's top educational official recommends clawing back the salaries from school board officials who expelled a father from a meeting for raising justified concerns.
The Florida commissioner of education is recommending a local school district lose funding totaling the salaries of all its board members following the board's treatment of a father who spoke up at a July 31 meeting. As reported by Corey DeAngelis on X, Parent Jeremy Clepper (pictured) took his turn during public comment to criticize Alachua County Public Schools Board Chair Sarah Rockwell for her social media comments celebrating the recent death of pro wrestling star Hulk Hogan. Hogan, a vocal supporter of Donald Trump, died a week ago from a heart attack. Upon learning of Hogan's passing, Rockwell wrote on Facebook "Oh, did Hulk die? I didn't even know. One less MAGA in the world." In response to a comment, Rockwell added Hogan "worked with the McMahons to union bust professional wrestling. he's never been a good guy. I feel absolutely nothing about his death." ...Okay, so it's the district, not the actual school board fascists, losing the amount of the fascists' salaries. It's something, I guess. (I'd say we're punishing the kids rather than the officials but you know most school funding is just wasted anyway.) An MIT professor says she (of course it's a she) spends one third of all of her working hours fighting "Trump terrorism." Sounds like MIT should claw back one third of her salary then, doesn't it?
During his time at the mic, Clepper told Rockwell her comments had "cheered for the death of MAGA" and he mocked her apology: "Aren't you a highly educated woman that knows the exact meaning behind her words?" Clepper concluded by telling the board chair she "should step down," and that she's a "disgusting, vile human being." A board member took issue with Clepper's remarks and called over a police officer to remove him from the meeting. While he was being escorted out, another board member noted the district's attorney had requested that Clepper not be removed. But by that time it appeared Clepper was already on his way out of the room. Many in attendance at the meeting (who were wearing face masks, including Rockwell) were in favor of ejecting Clepper. One can be heard saying "He needs to go," while local "social justice activist" Faye Williams (pictured) screamed over and over "Get out!" and called Clepper a "white supremacist." ... The commissioner noted since the Alachua Board "failed to ensure free expression of all viewpoints during public comment" he found "probable cause" that state law was violated. As such, Kamoutsas recommended the Florida State Board of Education "withhold from the [Alachua] district an amount equal to the salaries of all board members."
LOL. So much communist cant.
When Professor Catherine D'Ignazio isn't running the "Data + Feminism" lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology or organizing "reproductive justice hackathons" she is fighting Donald Trump's "state terrorism."
The urban studies professor, and "data feminism" scholar, recently explained "how U.S. universities can survive state terrorism" in an essay for Academe Blog. "What distinguishes state terrorism from other routine uses of force is that the violence is designed to 'send a message' --to reverberate out into the population, to engender fear, and to shift behavior," Professor D'Ignazio (pictured) explains. ... "The Trump administration's strategy conjoins specific instances of threats and violence with widely reported media representations in order to spread fear," the professor wrote. "This is what distinguishes the current violence of the state as terrorist. It is not only a judicial project but also a public relations project and a strategic communications project." Even "left- and center-leaning" publications like the New York Times play a role in promoting fear, the professor said. It's no wonder then that one-third of her paid time goes to fighting "state terrorism."
... "Surviving state terrorism will not be easy," however. "During this period, we must remember that the current project is an elaborate exercise in political theater designed to spread fear, isolation, and division." "Acts of radical care, everyday courage, and collective action are the most effective antidote to state terrorism."
Aphorisms like "the early bird gets the worm" are how societies pass wisdom from mouth to ear. What aphorisms people use tell you about their cultural values. Greg Lukianoff and Angel Eduardo find that aphorisms that encourage individuality, responsibility, and tolerance for others' thoughts are no longer being used by the young. In fact, some young people say they've never heard of these formerly-common aphorisms like "It's a free country."
Wesley Yang
@wesyang The media celebrated a 17-year old female mathematical prodigy while actively suppressing the fact in the initial report that the girl is actually a boy. It's not hard to do the intersectional math and figure out why the story wasn't framed as a triumph of "transgender inclusion." A weird confluence of different interests at play, among them the fact that 1.) a contagion of trans-identification is ripping through the male nerd population and 2.) STEM and tech are "solving" their gender problems with a burgeoning new cohort of these male nerds who "identify" as a women 1.) We want there to be an inspiring female math prodigy
2.) We have one! But he's a boy.
3.) But trans girls are girls, right? No?
4.) No they aren't.
5.) OK, just leave it out.
Um, the word you're searching for is "aphorism." Do people not know what words mean any longer? But let's continue:
In May, we surveyed 1,122 American adults about common expressions related to free speech and intellectual pluralism. And while the results show some promising potential trends, they also illustrate ways our cultural climate isn't as free speech-friendly as it could be. Before we go further, a quick pedantic point: It can be argued that many of the sayings in question aren't technically idioms, which are defined as common phrases or expressions that carry symbolic rather than literal meanings -- e.g., "raining cats and dogs," "break the ice," or "by the skin of my teeth." And while we love being pedantic, let's agree to use a looser definition of the term, which can be interchangeable with "expression," "phrase," or "saying," for the sake of this piece.
But that's the percentage who hadn't heard of all of the aphorisms. More people haven't heard of particular ones.
The FIRE/NORC 2025 Idioms Survey, which was conducted through NORC's AmeriSpeak panel, focused mainly on participants' familiarity with and usage of the following expressions: "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." "It's a free country." "Everyone's entitled to their own opinion." "Walk a mile in someone else's shoes." "To each their own." "Different strokes for different folks." "Who am I to judge?" "Address the argument, not the person." The good news is, recognition of the vast majority of these idioms was generally very high across all participants, ranging from 76 to 85%. In fact, only 6% of surveyed participants said they hadn't heard any of these expressions before.
A bet everyone routinely hears about the progressive stack and deplatforming Nazis and fascists and authoritarians, though. Stanky hoe-ass American women are now getting, get this, tattoos of hair in their armpits so that they always appear hairy and smelly even if they shave. To be honest, I don't imagine this is a super-popular trend. In fact it might just be this one stanky hoe-ass. But it's still something that this particular stanky hoe-ass wants to show off on social media and be praised for. I guess she's trying to Defeat the Male Gaze but I gotta tell you, honey, you're working too hard. God took care of that for ya. It's totally the children's choice, right? Sex and the City "star" Cynthia Nixon: "My kid is trans, my sister's kids are trans, every kid I know is trans and proud." Woke "history teacher" wants her kids to know that when Brown People practiced child sacrifice, it was a good, Mostly Peaceful type of child sacrifice, because they just wanted their heathen gods to deliver a good crop and also the children who had their hearts pulled out of their still-heaving chests "volunteered" to be executed. These teachers are all so intelligent, educated, competent, and mentally healthy that I can't believe we're able to keep them on as teachers for only $100,000 per year, insane benefits and retirement packages, and a work year consisting of just over 180 days out of 365. Surely they could make so much more money as aerospace engineers and mathematicians specializing in higher-dimensional topography. Noted Stock Market Wizard Nancy Pelosi: "We're are hoping we can have gender-affirming care for our trans kids."
Given that these particular sayings tend to communicate perspectives that are in favor of "small-D" democratic values like free speech, epistemic humility, and intellectual pluralism, it's a very good thing that people are familiar with them. The bad news is that, while recognition was high across the board, participants reported both hearing and using these phrases at low numbers. For each of the selected idioms, 30% of participants or fewer said they heard them used "fairly" or "very" often, and at most only 21% reported using them "fairly" or "very" often themselves. Even the most well-known phrases still achieved low double-digit results on the survey questions. For example, there are few sayings that would be more helpful for the promotion of free speech culture than "Everyone's entitled to their own opinion," and we'd love for it to be more prevalent in our culture. Unfortunately, only 28% of participants reported hearing this expression either "fairly" or "very" often, and only 21% reported using it at those same levels.

Ace, let's not be over deterministic here. There were very staunch anti-Communists Democrats back in the day. Ronald Reagan was one of them.
I'm old enough to remember when "Scoop Jackson" Democrats were a thing, as were pro-life Dems.
The party has been hijacked, and a big part of the problem is all the Boomers who THINK Scoop Jackson still has a place in the party. He doesn't. He's dead and his grave has been desecrated in every imaginable way.
Truth is a powerful weapon, and if we want to pierce the veil of lies the media has employed, we have to emphasize that these are NOT THE OLD DEMOCRATS. Their are weirdos and usurpers.
Remember the Hard Hat Riot and how Al Gore (of all people!) was a conservative, chosen to balance Slick Willie. Tipper hated dirty song lyrics, but 30 years later Albert is needing his chokra released.

In other words - 20-30% are immigrants or children of immigrants. Many from cultures who have decidedly different views on all of these issues than we do.

In the United States, approximately 77% of K–12 teachers are female. While i haven’t looked up stats on political affiliation, voting trends suggest that a significant portion lean toward progressive or left-leaning viewpoints. This demographic imbalance can influence the perspectives and values shaping young minds. When such a disparity exists, the lack of diverse viewpoints—regardless of teaching ability—may reduce the balance of approaches in problem-solving, instruction, discipline, and empathy, as men and women often bring different tendencies and perspectives to these areas. It would be hard to ignore that this also has a tendency to plant the seeds of ideological bias.
As with everything in life, balance is important. Based on what we know today, balance is a crime from the viewpoint of hard-core leftists..

I notice that Central American and African dictators became increasingly insane from 50's on. Part of that was because with subsidies from the West to support them in specific policy stances, there was no reason to care about what they looked like or if they were electable, or even if they had to support themselves in the face of opposition.
The Left has gone the same path, I think, for the same reason. So much money flowed in no matter how horrible they were.

Jen Pawol is set this weekend to become the first female umpire to appear in a regular-season MLB game. I reckon she's one of the AAA call-ups used in the course of a season, some few of which will become a member of the regular staff.
Really, the road even to this point for any umpire is a long and arduous one. The life of a minor-league umpire is miserable and low-paid and it's hard to advance through the various levels. So I have to hand it to her for that.

Once upon a time it was much more common for fans to throw things onto the playing field. Sometimes food, sometimes trash... it was a form of communication, and I suppose it was understood that it was not meant to harm the players.
Then someone for the first time decided to throw a bottle or a battery or some other heavy object, and it's been frowned upon since. Except I think Cub fans still throw home run balls from the other team onto the field.

But nope, he Just Followed Orders, and apologists like yourself who believe cops can and should do as they damn well please get upset that people are justly criticizing his actions.

Seems to have energized enough on our side to laugh and talk about it for going on 2 weeks. I'm sitting my backyard watching the sun go down and not throwing any dildos. Not yet anyway.
We've won a shitload of battles in the last 7 months, hard to remember them all they are coming so fast. I've never seen anything even close to how much we win almost every single day.
It's a harmless prank and we are on the right side of a culture battle after decades of losing almost all of them. Why is this a problem?

And as a xenophobe, at that. Doubtless if you were in power you would have me killed for 1) being the son of an immigrant and 2) much worse, having a valid passport with visas.
Me, I don’t have that view. You get a student visa and you want to study here, no biggie. (I have reservations about the PRC, sure, due to espionage but that’s why we have student visas. It would be nice if the visas were enforced by having CBP check passports when leaving the country, but I digress.). But while here on a visa or any other reason, you are subject to our laws. Think what you want of Israel, but that doesn’t mean you get to riot, threaten or intimidate Jewish students, or anything of the sort.

The police hate the citizenry and hold everyone around them in utter contempt. Americans need to return them the favor. And, by the way, if cops are so godlike, and worthy of your defense with middle school commentary, then why do we have juries and a court system? Should the word of a cop be enough?

Judge Gives Leftwing Thugs a Hunting License to Beat Down Elderly Pro-Choice Protesters on the Street
Josh Hawley
@HawleyMO Some thug brutally assaults two elderly prolife demonstrators -- shoves one to the ground and beats him, all on camera -- and gets "home detention" for a sentence from a liberal judge. This is not justice. This is open season on prolife Americans
I'm not going to shy away from this any longer. Is my take racial? Yes it is. But the story is racial. There is clearly a belief among members of the left, including many black politicians and judges, that black people should essentially be immunized from prosecution so long as they're doing the important Violent Street Justice work of beating up white people. We need to be clear: Whatever you hallucinated happening in the George Floyd case, no, you do not have the legal right to lynch white people on the street because you were "having a bad day."
A 28-year-old man who was caught on video attacking two pro-life activists outside a Planned Parenthood clinic in Baltimore was sentenced this week to a year of home detention and three years of probation. Baltimore Circuit Judge Yvette M. Bryant rebuffed prosecutors' calls for a 10-year sentence against Patrick Brice, 28, after he was found guilty of two counts of second-degree assault and reckless endangerment in relation to the May 2023 incident, according to The Baltimore Banner. "What about my rights and my well-being?" one of the victims in the attack, Mark Crosby -- who was 73 years old at the time -- reportedly shouted at Bryant on Thursday as she left the bench. Brice said on May 26, 2023, he intended to debate Richard Schaefer -- the other victim, who was 84 -- about the concept of sin outside the Planned Parenthood facility, but then lost it after Schaefer made what he perceived to be a racial remark, The Baltimore Banner reported. Surveillance video showed Brice shoving Schaefer into a flowerpot and then assaulting Crosby when he rushed to his aid.
"I just snapped one day," Brice was quoted by The Baltimore Banner as saying in court Thursday before apologizing to both men. As part of his sentence, Brice must complete anger management classes, undergo drug and alcohol screening and remain in therapy, the website added. It also said Crosby suffered permanent damage to his right eye as a result of the assault. "This was not a minor altercation between two parties with differing views on abortion. It was a vicious, targeted assault on two senior citizens whose only 'offense' was praying for expectant mothers and offering life-affirming alternatives to abortion," Tom Brejcha, the President and Chief Counsel of the conservative law firm Thomas More Society, said in a statement.
"One of the victims was knocked unconscious. The other suffered broken facial bones and a lifelong eye impairment. This was an act of cowardice and cruelty, and sheer mayhem. This crime deserves far more serious consequences than a 'get out of jail free' card and a one-year home detention that amounts to nothing more than a slap on the wrist," he added.
This cannot go on much longer.
The Media and a Mob in Cincinnati
The racial narrative leads major news organizations to ignore a violent attack on two white people. When a mob violently attacked two people in downtown Cincinnati last week, video of the beat-down spread across social media. But not a single major television network covered the story. It didn't fit the mainstream media's narrative about racial violence in America. The victims were white, and as of Wednesday police had arrested six black suspects for their alleged roles in the public pummeling. Today's media seems to conflagrate over violence only when the perpetrator is white and the victim is black. Then the cameras roll, protests erupt, and hashtags fly. But when the races are reversed, the mainstream media buries the incident or ignores it entirely. The same is true of black-on-black violence. Consider the tragic case of Ariana Delane, the 4-year-old niece of George Floyd, who was shot and wounded while sleeping beside her grandmother as gunfire hit their apartment. Despite the horror of her story, it received nowhere near the national attention that followed her uncle's death. Both the girl and Floyd deserved to live in peace, yet there is national outrage when a black man is killed at the hands of police but silence when black children are the collateral victims of the senseless violence plaguing our cities every day. During a 2018 spike in violent incidents against Asian-Americans, journalists mostly ignored that blacks were the most frequent perpetrators. The truth would have broken the media's worldview that black Americans are always innocent victims. This racial gerrymandering of the facts mirrors the very injustices the media claim to hate in American history. In the Jim Crow South, if a black man committed an offense against another black man, he would face few consequences, if any--especially if the perpetrator worked for an influential white figure. Meanwhile, a black man who allegedly harmed a white person would face swift and brutal retribution. One hundred years later, we have flipped the script. We teach our children that to be black is to be permanently victimized and that to be white is to be perpetually guilty. Americans should renounce any schema in which one race is guilty and another innocent. That is the path to national ruin. Only if we disregard race in how we judge one another will we be able to address the real crisis in society: the spiritual and moral free-fall given to us by identity politics. As the mainstream media chatters about systemic racism, our young people are dying of bullets, drugs, and despair. Atlanta saw 47 people shot and five killed over four days in July. Homicide and suicide are leading causes of death for 15- to 19-year-olds, and teen drug overdose deaths are still way up from before the pandemic. When our young are bombarded with claims that they live in a fundamentally racist society and that they are powerless pawns of systemic forces beyond their control, how can we expect them to have hope, to believe in moral agency, to work with others with grace and compassion toward a better world?
Your reminder that the Biden admin threw pro-life protesters in jail for much, much less than this. https://t.co/tbuhHZbnY0

16 years years ago, CBS News warned that the Arctic would be ice-free in 10 years.
Last year, CBS reported that the Arctic could be ice-free in 10 years.
It’s always ten years away!

All of human history has happened during an interglacial period in the current ice age.
Eventually the ice age will end, and CBS will be correct. When the sun goes Red Giant for sure, but probably before that. But CBS will be counting to 10 a few thousand or million times more.

You'd be proud of her. She's a beauty. Her full name is "Dagny Sophia," the middle name being for her mother -- whom she resembles to an eerie degree.
I'm already proud.
Lost my Mr Bigglesworth a couple months ago. He was fine, 9 yrs old, sudden kidney failure. Wrecked me. But after the elderly care, I wanted NO extreme measures.

There are lots of very inexpensive guns with a similar weight and simplicity. The FEG AP-66 is a Walther PP clone with an aluminum frame, chambered in .32 APC and they are a piece of cake to shoot and dirt cheap online.
So many affordable, controllable options. Also keep in mind that according to decades of research, 98% of the time, merely producing a weapon terminates the conflict.

The corrupt woke Regime will not survive Two-Tier Policing. The public will not accept it.
This ain't the UK.
--------
These stories have been in the news frequently for years. There is not going to be any pushback.
The difference between the US and UK isn't one of temperament. People here are no likelier to take a stand against their corrupt governments. It's that there's room to run away.
The result will be that a large number of cities will simply be abandoned by all the decent people of every race, and left to rot underneath the remaining ghetto blacks and Aztecs.
I do expect that governments in many of the places they go will get more serious about law enforcement.
We're going to end up with ghost metropolises in this country. Big cities that just sort of melt into the landscape, with the remaining structures housing the worst elements of society.

It's deliberate. By saying "racial remark" you are allowed to make up in your mind whatever you like, and likely the first thought is the "N" word. (Sophisticated right-wing news consumers know better.) So as terrible as this story sounds at first, you are now encouraged to think that it is white people being racist again, just like on all the TV shows like Law & Order and such. Therefore they had it coming.

Nope, state judges are not immune to federal violation of someone's civil rights by color of the law. If it can be shown that racial animus against white pipo was behind the decision to release the black thug, then the black judge illegally used her judicial office to deny equal protection of the laws to all.
I suspect on some of these DIEversity judges, that they have been less than careful about hiding their racial animus doing their jobs.

The article merely says "...then lost it after Schaefer made what he perceived to be a racial remark."
The "racial remark" was probably, "I'm out here protesting to save black babies from the eugenic mass-murder of the racist Margaret Sanger and her racist genocide-factory known as Planned Parenthood. Can't you see I'm on your side?"

More Hispanic and Asian immigrants, blacks are not increasing at near the rate they used to. Abortion in urban areas is one reason why.
Blacks for example are down to 6 percent of Californians--Hispanics are the plurality, whites second, and Asians now outnumber blacks in CA.

I spent a bunch of time today reading recent economics papers on tariffs. Every single one assumes retaliatory tariffs. None—not a single one—correctly models what happened, which is a big hike by the U.S. in exchange for lower tariffs and non-tariff barriers.
Academic economists need to ask themselves some serious questions about why they got this episode so wrong. It was a failure of epic proportions that should embarrass the field.

The officia, stats may not even reflect that, but 70% of the students who actually attend class and thus can be seen on campus are Asian. Nothing the University can do to stop demographics -- Northern California is morr and more Asian, less and less black, and the trned just continues.

Difficult to reload quickly is the major problem and if you carry a snubbie, you best be able to solve your problem with five or six shots--you won't have time to reload. I carried snubbies, shot them very well, and practiced w speedloaders but when I carry nowadays, I use a single stack XDS with 8 +1. I use the 7+1 mags when I want to be less conspicuous.
That is why Jim Cirillo carried two revolvers--quicker to draw and fire another than using speed loaders. Mas Ayoob credited Jim with inventing the NY reload tactic.

"Unexpectedly" you only have to go back to Trump's first term to see in realtime that his tariffs then did not cause inflation and/or recession -- and led to record economic growth & prosperity (until, of course, the Bullshit Covid PsyOp ... hmmm, how convenient!).
One of the reasons was that was that demand for the dollar increased, making it stronger relative to other currencies --increasing American purchasing power and correspondingly reducing the cost of imports.

. But it was far easier to slap a 7 round magazine in even with good non arthritic fingers than speedloading a snubbie. First you have to raise it muzzle skyward, punch the ejector with the flat of your hand, and use the proper profile bullets (rounded ogive) for the reload. So I carried FBI load 158gr+p dead soft swaged Hollow points as the initial load and Corbon powr'ball for reloads.
Still slower by a second or so behind reloading the semi automatic.

Hispanics of course have their own racial issues which im sure we will all be dealing with as well.
Hispanics are the new Italians, Asians are the new Scots/Germans.
Whites will be the new coolies.
And blacks are going to be f***ed.

Hispanic and black gangstas already fought it out in Los Angeles about 20 years ago. The black folk got their asses kicked. Which is why a white guy could walk a street in Compton at 11pm and most of the time he'll be just fine. A black guy on the same street and time would have his face peeled off by MS13.

Problem nowadays is swarming attack by 'yutes' and hardened criminals. You might get one or two but the rest will get you. Thus, why I switched to a semi auto. And will probably go back in time to start carrying a 6946 again. Carry it with a twelve round mag plus one in chamber and you can carry a full size 5900 15-17 round mag which fits the 6946 mag well.
Gotta practice with it before doing that as teh 6946 and the 5946 big brother are DAO only. Revolver like trigger feel with no safety. Slicked up, about 10-12 lbs pull weight like firing a DA Smith revolver.

No one in the media cares about two white people being mercilessly stomped in the street, just as no one cared when Channon Christian and Chris Newsom were kidnapped, tortured and murdered by a group of black people.

Fair is a loaded term that has nothing to do with the legalities of self defense. Instead, the law requires the person exercising that right to have a objectively reasonable fear of death or serious injury using a totality of circumstances known to the person at the time. (A few states allow subjective belief but juries and judges tend to overlook that little detail).

Sydney Sweeney Fitness and Sorority Girl Nationalism GAINZZZ
Lefties are still upset that Trump is reinstating the presidential fitness standards for students.
Trump focus on health is not 'inclusive' enough A history professor said she generally supports President Donald Trump's interest in promoting health but criticized his plan to revive the Presidential Fitness Test.Don't buy this jive turkey's jive that she supports Trump's health initiatives generally. You'll see.
1, of course you're yammering about Beyonce, who is the only person anyone is allowed to look up to because she's black and a feminist. 2, you just objected to including a WWE wrestler because he's in the entertainment business, not athletics -- and then you immediately praise Beyonce, a singing whore with more plastic in her than a 1984 Corvette, as a great athletic hero for children. I'm serious about this -- are all professors, you know, actually retarded now? Are they incapable of following their own line of argument within a single paragraph?
"Trump is reviving an outdated and problematic practice for American schoolkids," reads the headline of Professor Natalia Petrzela's recent essay for MSNBC. ...
Petrzela criticized the appearance of a WWE wrestler, Paul Levesque, at the press conference. "The swaggering, solo, white machismo is obvious -- and about as far a cry as it gets from Beyoncé dancing with a cafeteria full of New York City schoolkids to promote the Obamas' program," The New School professor wrote. "And of course, the WWE is primarily an entertainment franchise, not an athletic one, a fact that is both perfectly on brand for the Trump administration and further suggests this effort might be more show than substance."
Oh yeah, obviously. Big fan. It's so apparent.
"I too am deeply concerned about the lack of exercise among American children and adults, and am thrilled this is an administration priority," she wrote.
But the professor also criticized Trump for not focusing on an "inclusive" approach to sports like that of President John F. Kennedy. "Gone is JFK's emphasis on inclusive, publicly funded recreation," she wrote. "And, crucially, JFK supported vaccines and Medicare."That's her idea of "inclusive health initiatives" -- injections and subsidies. I wanted to warn all of you about this, because I know my readership tends to be good-looking and fit and getting all kinds of GAINZZZ. But be aware: People may see your fitness and hotness and brand you as MAGA due to your healthiness and good looks.
Since President Donald Trump's return to the White House, I've noticed a steady stream of rhetoric that attempts to make health and fitness partisan. If you're fit and enjoy working out (or even sport a tan), chances are there's a progressive who will eye you with suspicion of being MAGA. t's an extreme example of the "if-Trump-is-for-it, we-must-be-adamantly-against-it" mentality that has infected the left. To borrow a phrase from former Democratic vice presidential contender Tim Walz, it's weird. ... The rise in obesity and the decline in health is especially disheartening when it comes to the country's kids. According to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2024 report, about 20% of children are obese (2 in 5 adults are obese). That's a sharp increase from when childhood obesity rates were 5% in the 1970s. Not only is this a national health concern, it's a national security one, as Trump acknowledges in his executive order. The CDC report found that only 2 in 5 young adults are weight-eligible and active enough to serve in the military. Yet, Trump's commonsense approach to boost fitness was met with consternation among media progressives. "Trump is reviving an outdated and problematic practice for American schoolkids," proclaimed MSNBC. "Generations of Americans who struggled to complete a pull-up in front of their classmates winced as President Trump announced that he was reinstating the annual assessment," The New York Times opined. Leftists also have thoughts about fitness for adults and what it says about conservatism. Earlier this year, fitness influencer MaryBeth Monaco-Vavrik posted a video that went viral connecting the "popularization of Pilates & running instead of strength training ... and the rise of extreme American authoritarianism." She also equated conservatism with "smaller bodies."It may surprise you to learn that this woman is conventionally fit. But she's using her own fitness to sell obesity and ill-health to leftwing women.
Absolutely vile lunatics. I've been getting some GAINZZZ. I've stuck to vigorous walking (so long as it's not 100 degrees outside or p*ssing rain). Another study proves the value of just walking around for a spell.
Men, on the other hand, must avoid looking too manly and the trap of toxic masculinity and the "manosphere," which liberals tell us have flourished under Trump. For instance, actor Sacha Baron Cohen's appearance on the August cover of Men's Fitness UK sparked criticism over his newly chiseled body. One headline said his physique "is repellent to most women." ... In 2024, a columnist in The Guardian warned, "There is a dark side to wellness, which I always, for shorthand, thought of as political: getting fit makes you more rightwing." And now, enjoying sunshine and getting a tan could mark you as a MAGA fanatic. After all, Trump and his health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., sport a perennial bronze shade. As The Atlantic recently observed: "Tanning is back. Only this time, it's not just about looking good -- it's about embracing an entire ideology."
An analysis of over 36,000 people with high blood pressure has shown that taking more steps, even below the recommended daily target of 10,000 steps, and walking faster, is associated with a significant reduction in the risk of major problems of the heart and blood vessels. The study, published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, found that compared to a daily step count of 2,300 steps, every extra 1,000 steps was linked to a 17% reduction in the risk of developing a major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE), up to 10,000 steps. Additional steps above 10,000 were associated with a lower risk of stroke.
... Professor Emmanuel Stamatakis, Director of the Mackenzie Wearables Research Hub at the University of Sydney, Australia, who supervised the study, said, "This study is one of the first to demonstrate a dose-response relationship between daily step count and major problems of the heart and blood vessels. "In a nutshell, we found that, if you live with high blood pressure, the more you walk with greater intensity, the lower your risk for future serious cardiovascular events.
By the way, the leftwing propaganda media is continuing its five-days-old psyop claiming that only a few "online weirdos" pushed the Sydney Sweeney White Supremacy meme, so rightwingers are the ones really "obsessed" with it and must stop blaming Democrats.
John Sexton quotes the New York Times' effort.They claimed that progressives were up in arms over the intentional double-entendre with the word "genes," suggesting it was winking at eugenics or white supremacy. In reality, most progressives weren't worked up much at all. Criticism of the ad campaign had come almost entirely from a smattering of accounts with relatively few followers, according to an analysis of social media data by The New York Times.A "smattering of accounts with relatively few followers." One video accusing the brand of Nazis got four million views.
One video getting four million views is "the fringes of TikTok"?
Initial reactions were largely apolitical, though some progressives criticized the ad's sexual overtones while some on the right applauded a return to "traditional advertising" in what they viewed as a step away from more diverse representations. But on the fringes of sites including TikTok and X, some users began suggesting that the campaign had a more subtle and menacing message tied to eugenics: that blond, blue-eyed looks are somehow superior.
"She has good jeans like she has good GENES! hahahaha like in a nazi way!!" stated a July 25 post on X that drew over five million views. The next day, a video on TikTok that also made a comparison to Nazism drew 3.5 million views.So who's to blame for this misrepresentation of the sane and sober left forming a slavering cancel mob over nothing at all? Who is the guilty party in spreading this RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION about leftwing influencers and drama-farmers shrieking about White Supremacy for going on three weeks? Would you believe... it's all Libs of TikTok's fault? Again?
BTW, you see once again that all of the NPCs say the same thing. First someone says it on Slate or New Republic, then Rolling Stone says the same thing, then the NYT says the same thing. Once one of these idiots is infected with the Retarded Meme of the Day, they're all repeating it verbatim within hours. They're liars. For one thing, it wasn't "just a few online weirdos," it was dozens of prominent" influencers, and we know that female and minority influencers strongly influence the Democrat Party. And of course, the leftwing media itself pushed it hard:
The tide began to shift on July 27, when large right-wing accounts such as Libs of TikTok began reposting critiques of the American Eagle campaign, mocking them as examples of "triggered" liberals. "Keep this up Democrats," posted the account, which is run by a woman named Chaya Raichik and has 4.3 million followers on X. "This is going to be great for you guys."

This version of sexuality is innocent in the way that Tracey and Hepburn movies were, which is to say they are and are not. They are suggestive, but only because we recognize the unspoken and unseen. They are red-blooded, not pornographic in the way that the alphabet crowd is. The reason why the left is going nuts over them is that they are not Queer. They celebrate the differences between the sexes, at least implicitly. This trend is not really a rebirth of the old ways, but a symbol that the left can no longer suppress the natural exuberance that comes from healthy human relations.

Vaccines then consisted mostly of the DPT combo (diphteria-pertussis-tetanus) (except for exotic ones given to those serving in disease-ridden countries in Africa). And I thought "Medicare" was not passed until LBJ's term. Was JFK on record as supporting the plan earlier?
These people lie, or write what they say without examining facts. As Dorothy Parker said about one book she reviewed: "It was written without fear and without research."

Dumbbell presses are much easier on your shoulders - esp if you keep your arm 45 degree to your chest. Plus you an get a much better stretch than barbell bench. I mix in a least one dumbbell push workout a week.

Since my hernia surgery, I haven't been able to do calisthenics or trot at all. But I've started back on fast walking in the last week. Forty-five minutes today, about 2.5 miles according to my (often inaccurate) fitness watch. When the pain finally vanishes, I plan to return to my mix of walking and trotting.

That may be a little too aggressive, depending on your starting weight and body composition. 1-2 pounds a week is the generally recognized rate of weight loss for long-term weight control. However, congratulations on your motivation and actions. Just be careful!

Give that chicken fat back to the chicken
And don't be chicken again
No, don't be chicken again
Push up every morning - ten times
Push up starting low
Once more on the rise, nuts to the flabby guys!
Go, you chicken fat, go away!
Go, you chicken fat, go!

"STARVATION!"
That is an hysterical and pseudo-scientific term.
Someone who is obese has lots and lots of stored energy. As long as the diet is supplying vitamins and minerals, it is fine.
The diet industry is parroting the WHO. And anyone who bases anything on what the WHO says is an idiot.

Nope.
I got fat, decided to get not-fat, and cut my daily caloric intake to 1200-1400 with very few carbs, plus daily walking/running.
I melted 50 lbs in about 5-6 months and I'm still here. I did lose some muscle mass as well but it's not like I came out looking like a concentration camp survivor. I ate clean for another six months and did some light to moderate weight lifting and got back to baseline.
If you want to lose fat you have to be in a pretty serious caloric deficit.

January - Mom died. Age 88. I was her caregiver, and my late father for 14 years.
February - Uncle Leonard died. He was 90 and I was his 'go to' person in town.
March - My computer hard drive died and I lost my Microsoft account. That kept on giving.
April - Cat Trumpy staying with me at night trapped and relocated. Probate clears. My Brother changes his mind about the house and giving me a year to get my life together and make the best financial decision for me.
May - The cat Snowflake staying with me at night trapped and relocated. Lawyer comes up with a deal for the house. My brother agrees and changes his mind on the last day when I was supposed to sign.
June - Horrible house stuff Part three. Brother took some stuff. Not much. I lost them as family...but that's more a GAINZZZ. I have no more family. The rest call for funerals. I'm good.
July - my Pitbull head-shaver died and a nice floor vase of my Mom's broke. Minor stuff.

I'll look into it more carefully. So far it works well and I feel fine, and not even hungry. Brave AI sez 1600-2000 cals/day for old farts like me.
I did a severe diet in the 1980s-1990s when I was on a cardio kick. Airdyne four times a week, hiking 25 miles per week, 150 situps every night, on only 600 cals/day. I got down to 154 lbs, average resting heart rate 44. I felt great physically. Friends were concerned, but I think it's the healthiest I've ever been, and believe it added years to my lifespan. Then in 1996 I fell back into bad habits and gradually went back up to 205.
I'll look more into it. I did not expect it would be dangerous. My doctor knows about it.

People might not be able to maintain the weight loss, but that is an entirely different issue.
An obese man...let's say 75 pounds overweight...has 150 days of energy stores on a 1,200 calorie/day diet. As long as those 1,200 calories are providing vitamins and minerals, he will remain healthy.

June - The cat Snowflake was found. She went from a Lizzo 12 pounds back down to her normal 8.5 pounds. She is staying with me, is weighed every morning like a pageant girl and is hovering about 10 pounds. The house officially became mine on the last day of the month.
July - I took a week off. Just rested. Booze and edibles but not too much because I have a cat and dog to take care of. My friend took me to their trailer for a day and a half. That was the first time out of the house overnight in 9.9 years.
I haven't had any booze or edibles in a month.
I'm sleeping better than ever. I've taken zzzQuil maybe once a week. Melatonin and natural Super Sleep from Costco about once a week too.
Most of my computer programs and accounts have been recovered or replaced.
My friends had me over for cake for my birthday. That was so nice.
I've been in contact with two of my Mother's oldest - age and length of time - friends. One, a friend of my Mother's from the convent received the two big boxes of Mom's stuff yesterday and was so happy. I bring the dog Ralphy to visit Mom's other friend in town who is 90. We bring something from Tim's.

Try a Granitestone. They are cheap, work well, and if you hate it, you can throw it out without worrying about the mortgage.

I'm going to try getting a high carbon steel pan. Chef gruel on FNC and twitter recommends them. Lighter than cast iron but works similar.

How could they be racist, you ask?
Well, you see, Hispanic and black students have higher rates of obesity, and jut can't even do any of the tests, much less pass them, so physical fitness tests are just another way to fail and hold back minorities, deny them an education and impose white privilege.
Remember, it was the Democrats saying this, not the KKK. (Oh, wait.)
The racism of low expectations taken to its ultimate conclusion.
Never mentioned is the whole point of the physical fitness requirements, to encourage kids to exercise, erat right, lose weight and get healthy for the own benefit. The Left was like, "Nah, they fat, and you're just fat-shaming the brown and black kids. Asking them to improve is an outrageous act of white supremacy."

fruit is questionable. no juiced fruit or smoothies with a LOT of juice. that's just intense sugar right there
I eat green bananas sometimes (rarely) and tart berries sometimes. grapefruit is very good, that's an acceptable option
this is for the no-sugar lifestyle tho. normal people don't have to do this! I'd still really restrict juices they are very sugary - better to just eat the fruit and get the fiber

I'm looking at a LODGE brand that's pre-seasoned. If it's no more difficult than cast iron it should be fine. The reason is, I'm teaching my daughter how to cook and I wanted something cast iron like but lighter.

It's been a nightmare and can't tell you how many times I've tried to season it according to its directions, only to have it not work and have to re-scour it with salt and scrubber and start the process all over.

The basement is thoroughly cleaned. People with OCD would be impressed. Air ducts were washed. Throughout the house, whatever I didn't like got brought to Goodwill or given away.
There were a ton of large plastic plants and SOOoooo much Christmas stuff.
I just have a few more things to clean up and a few renovations that have to be completed and the house is mine. After I hang some art.
After that, I already know what I want to be doing for income so I'd like to give that a shot while keeping the dog alive.
Last GAINZZZ.
I talked with a lot of my neighbours. I'm very blessed. Boy, the stories I heard about families going crazy for cash when peop,e die.
I was very blessed because I was alone and the only one hurt during this entire ordeal.
I forgave my brother on day 8. I've been rewiring my brain to laugh whenever I think of any painful memories, not just the last while. My worries are left to God.
On day 34, I now deal with any anger by remembering how truly loved and appreciated I was by my Mother and Father. I have no regrets.
Lots of loss. Lots of GAINZZZ!
There's a lot of vacuum in my life. I'm anxious to see how God fills it. Thanks all.

You have to take the oven temperature up above the smoke point of the oil you are seasoning with.
Beef tallow 480 °F
Ghee 482
Lard 375
Duck fat 374
What is seasoning?
Seasoning is a layer of carbonized oil that's been baked onto your cast iron pan, forming a protective layer on top of your cookware. It's what gives your skillet a natural, easy-release finish and makes cooking and cleaning a breeze.

Cast Iron. Teflon is just synthetic carbon. A well “seasoned” cast iron pan is better than teflon in several ways.
That’s why Grandma would cut your nuts off if you fucked with it. The heat retention (mass) of cast iron makes them unsurpassed for frying, sautéing and all that other ghey shit too. I like the way taters and eggs and everything just browns up better.

There is an increasingly popular trend of grown adults using pacifiers, or binkies to ‘relieve stress’.

This is the method I've used on my carbon steel/cast iron, and it works beautifully if done properly.

My guess is that Petrzela's goal was to take her nonsense national, with all that cool green cash that comes along with such boondoggles. This Presidential Fitness thing sort of intrudes on that business plan.

We need more shame in society. If you're a soft-handed dough-body, you should feel bad about it.
That shame helps build resolution to be something better.
One of the reasons I joined Da Army (but only on weekends!) was because I was not satisfied with who I was. I wanted to be more resilient, stronger, and also experience Athlete's Foot.

There’s yer problem. Most of them are faulty, the oil has to be carbonized. This makes tons of smoke, and people don’t like that. So you’ll see shit like “heat at 250F”.
Vegetable oils are not a good idea for seasoning. Coupled with insufficient heat (too low a temp) you end up with a sticky, rancid mess. Cast iron will rust underneath to add insult to injury.
With cast iron, the item will be coal black, indicating the oil has carbonized. It’s a lot like spit shining a boot with kiwi. Many many thin layers versus trying to lay down a thick layer all at once.
Best done outdoors, on a grill. Or wait till SWMBO is out of town visiting her sister or something.

Yours might have some nickel in the mix or the heat treatment of the carbon steel is not up to par. Nickel in steel can make it sticky when heated up (same issue with firearms using nickel steel). Case hardening of carbon steel but leaving a malleable interior, which is ideal for less sticky cookware is kind of an art . Difficult to pull off in thin surfaces (also why case hardened carbon knives can be slick as glass but break if dropped).
FWIW, this was the problem of the old Springfield 1903 and its bolt--hard, slick as glass, but could shatter upon impact like glass. The old timers at Springfield Armory did not use pyrometers to measure the temp--they did it by eyeball mark I.

I have cast iron, too big a pita to use with my handicaps nowadays. I use green pans with the ceramic non stick and buy new ones when the ceramic coating starts chipping or thinning. Then again, I have an inductive range which I prefer frankly after learning its issues than either gas or radiant.

You're Not Going to Believe This, But Jasmine Ratchet Turns Out to Be a Self-Obsessed Narcissist Who's a Nightmare to Work For
I know this comes as a blow, but steady on, citizens. We will get through this together.
Trump critic Rep. Jasmine Crockett is a no-show boss from hell who terrorizes staffers, aides say: 'All diva, no wow' Rep. Jasmine Crockett has positioned herself as an unfiltered critic of President Trump, earning regular TV appearances and an enthusiastic online following, but congressional aides tell The Post that the Dallas Democrat is just as "rude" and mean to her own staff.A narcissist treats "the little people" with contempt. Pretty standard.
... But three sources who have worked with or for Crockett say she's rarely present when TV cameras aren't rolling -- and terrorizes staff when she does appear. Crockett is not often found at her government-provided suite in the Longworth House Office Building, with one insider saying she prefers to work from her nearby luxury apartment building, sometimes for weeks on end. "She is laying around her apartment, won't come into the office, and is really just indifferent to staff and will scream at them," the former aide said. "She is never in the office and is very disengaged. She does her bulls-- that goes viral, and then freaks out over the most random things." A second source close to Crockett's team added: "It is widely known that she's not nice to staff and is just not a really dedicated member focused on constituents." "She is focused almost exclusively on being an influencer, not a member of Congress," said a third source who has worked with Crockett, describing her as "all diva, no wow." When Crockett does show up for work on Capitol Hill -- often to attend a committee hearing where she deploys a made-for-social-media attack on Trump -- she prefers to have a staff member drive her the short distance to her office in a rented car rather than the staffer's own, a cheaper option commonly used by lawmakers. The staffer is expected to stand outside the vehicle, which "has to be an Escalade" or similar upscale make, and open the door for her. "You're technically allowed to do this but it's wildly inefficient. Instead of using the scheduler's car, she rents a car every week in DC," one source said. "She expects her staff to drive her around while she's in the back seat," they added, calling it a "power play" akin to "treating the staffer like an Uber driver."She called Marjorie Taylor-Greene "butch" in a committee meeting, which is trashy and ratchet, obviously, but which is also, in today's Hyper-Gay Democrat Party, "homophobic," as lesbians are sometimes called butch. I have never been more proud of Jasmine Ratchet:
Complaints poured in from lesbians who objected to Crockett's derogatory use of the term "butch" to attack Greene, which even left some aides uneasy. "She told her gay staff members, 'That's not offensive. You're stupid if you think so,'" a former aide recounted to the Post.LOL. But also, typical narcissist stuff. I can do no wrong, if it appears that I have done something wrong, it's just your stupid inferior brain hallucinating.
... Crockett has burned through employees at such a pace that she's becoming known as a present-day version of the late Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas), long called the Capitol's toughest boss. A number of staff have become fed up with their treatment, while others have either been fired or left on their own -- a distinction often difficult to discern in Washington. Some former aides cited fear of retribution when declining to participate in this story. "She thinks she's her own best adviser, she knows best, and has this toxic staff environment," a source said. "She gets rid of press people because she's like, 'I do all of the press stuff.'" ... "The staff is really just an island unto itself, because she doesn't care about the local issues happening in her district," this person added. "She's more focused on, 'Get me on "The View," 'Get me on this late-night talk show.'Greg Foreman points out an amusing clip that demonstrates Ratchet's narcissism and belief that she is the Star of the Movie. She was speaking in a group of a runaway Democrat legislators. But you know how the main act always goes last? You can have opening acts and middle acts but the band that closes the night is the big draw. Well, Jasmine Ratchet was determined that she would be the Closer, the Star, of this propaganda opportunity, but other Democrats did not agree she should be the closer. But she kept insisting she was the closer and no one could speak after her.

If I were in journalism and truly objective (which I don't think I could be), I'd be following her around with a microphone 24/7 asking her to comment on everything.

I've had one good black female boss, but I've had some really bad ones. My worst boss ever was a black woman (mercurial only begins to cover what working for her was like, and she drove many qualified people away and convinced others to take early retirement . I only became part of management because that way I never had to report to her again.
Conversely, I've had at least one really good black male boss/supervisor at almost every job I've ever held.

Remember how this whole thing is based around Gerrymandering, and the reason Crocket is so cross is because her district is so contorted the only basis for validity is that it can be considered "aesthetically pleasing"?
Posted by: Kindltot at August 08, 2025 03:48 PM (rbvCR)
Not only is her district contorted, the top 5 professions in her district (South Dallas) are
1) Dealer
2) Pimp
3) Ho
4) long term SSI disability.
5) hanging out behind the Home Depot looking for day work

Wow, this one was something. I had an opportunity to be in Azerbaijan a few years ago. There is no love lost between the two, and an official government museum details just how many atrocities the Armenians have committed against the Azerbaijanis (with of course no recognition of any reprisals or acts of aggression that may have sparked Armenia's actions.)
While not as large of some other peace deals, this is really an impressive win.

But you know how the main act always goes last? You can have opening acts and middle acts but the band that closes the night is the big draw.
Well, Jasmine Ratchet was determined that she would be the Closer, the Star...
But she kept insisting she was the closer and no one could speak after her.
I have long made this observation in regards to the "Progressive Stack," which is a prioritized list of which minority groups are given the privilege of speaking first at any leftist gathering, while whites and straights and men etc. are told to shut up. The white liberal who impose the progressive stack tell the minority members that this makes thekm the star of the show that it gives them the first word, that it deservedly humiliates the white people, etc. And the minorities all for it -- "Step aside, let me speak -- all y'all shut up!" to the delight of crowd.
But of course as Ace notes ,this is all a trick by sneaky whites to outwit the bozo minorities, who don't realize that by speaking first, they are the irrelevant "opening act," leaving the whites to come and close the show as the stars and main attraction.

He scheduled himself for Apollo 13, even management balked on that, decided he needed more time to train. That’s how Lovell ended up on Apollo 13
It was more complicated than that of course, but that’s the gist of it. The crew assignment was a bewildering mix of Deke Slayton, and yes, fate. Lots of fatal crashes mixed up the crew order. Mike Collins bone spur. Don’t piss Chris Kraft off either.
Gordon Cooper got hosed, and Don Eisles I think. And then the dickheads in congress and Nixon cancelled 18, 19, and 20. Fred Haise should have been a moonwalker too. Real great guy.

Posted by: banana Dread Pirate Summer Long Balls Dream
They literally outgrew their shtick.
When they started, the girls were 10-12 years old, thus "baby" metal. Now they're in their 20s.
Japan has a ton of female-fronted or all-female metal bands.
Band Maid (mentioned above), Aldious, Blood Stain Child, Bridear, Broken by the Scream, Candye Syrup, Hagane, Lonesome Blue, Lovebites, Mary's Blood, Necronomidol, Nemophila, Passcode, STMLT, Trident, Unlucky Morpheus, Yuzukingdom.....
Passcode, BbtS, and Candye Syrup are probably the closest to Babymetal, since they include some of the "idol group" stuff in their music.
I think Nemophila, BandMaid, Trident, and Unlucky Morpheus are probably the best of that bunch.

Appeals Court Overrules Partisan Operative "Judge" Boasberg, Rebukes Him For "Overstepping His Authority" When He Presumed to Hold Trump In Criminal Contempt
Charlie KirkTwo Trump judges overturned Boasberg's attempt to arrest Trump officials. One Obama judge dissented (of course). The Trump judges found that Boasberg lacked authority to continue his judicial witchhunt. They also found him wrong on the legal merits. Boasberg is claiming that his ambiguous order should be read in a certain way, and by that reading, Trump officials acted in contempt. The judges on the Appeals panel found that the abiguous ruling could be read either of two different ways, and by one reading, the Trump Administration obeyed the order. They also note that Boasberg is attempting to conjure a contempt charge out of the facts of a confusing and quickly-changing situation where the facts were unclear (as was his corrupt ruling). Fox:
@charliekirk11 🚨BREAKING: The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia just vacated radical activist Judge Boasberg's order holding the Trump admin in criminal contempt for deporting illegals using the Illegal Alien Enemies Act. Boasberg embarassed. Deportations march on.
Although the opinion does not state this explicitly, the gist seems to be: Boasberg, you rushed to involve yourself in this matter without bothering to fully appreciate the facts or the law, and you wrote a sloppy, rushed opinion which was open to multiple interpretations. You can't pick and choose which parts of your ruling are "real" and you can't claim that your sloppy, ambiguous opinion only had one interpretation. It has multiple fair interpretations, and you probably could have cleaned it up to be enforceable if you weren't in such a mad partisan rush to Get Trump.
US appeals court blocks Trump contempt proceedings ordered by Boasberg
The 2-1 ruling in President Donald Trump's favor will likely go to the full court for review, or be appealed directly to the Supreme Court The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled 2-1 Friday that U.S. District Judge James Boasberg cannot move forward with possible contempt proceedings against the Trump administration. The case involves the administration's alleged violation of an emergency court order blocking the administration from using a 1798 law to summarily deport hundreds of Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador -- the latest in an evolving, high-stakes court clash that has played out for months in various courts. Judges Gregory Katsas and Neomi Rao, two Trump appointees on the majority-Democrat bench, sided with the Trump administration Friday in blocking Boasberg's contempt motion from moving forward. Judge Nina Pillard, an Obama appointee, dissented. ... "The district court here was placed in an enormously difficult position," Katsas said Friday, writing for the majority. "Faced with an emergency situation, it had to digest and rule upon novel and complex issues within a matter of hours. In that context, the court quite understandably issued a written order that contained some ambiguity."
... "Regardless, the government's initial implementation of the proclamation clearly and indisputably was not criminal." ... The long-awaited ruling comes months after Boasberg ruled that the court had found probable cause to move on criminal contempt proceedings after he issued a late-night temporary restraining order on March 15 blocking the Trump administration's use of the Alien Enemies Act to summarily deport certain migrants to El Salvador. Boasberg had also ordered all migrants to be "immediately returned" to U.S. soil, which did not happen. Despite the order, hundreds of migrants were deported to the Salvadorian prison, CECOT, in March, where they remained until late last month, when they were sent from the prison in El Salvador to Venezuela, as part of the prisoner exchange.

@julie_kelly2 Jeb Boasberg needs to step down as chief judge. He has embarrassed himself and inflicted a permanent (and well deserved I might add) black eye on the federal court system in our nation's capital. Republicans in Washington must demand his resignation or pursue impeachment. Enough.
The DC Circuit Court of Appeals says Judge Boasberg was way out of line by holding the Trump administration in contempt, despite SCOTUS ruling he didn’t have jurisdiction in the case

Cornelia Thayer Livingston Pillard (born March 4, 1961), known professionally as Nina Pillard, is an American lawyer and jurist serving since 2013 as a U.S. circuit judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Before becoming a judge, Pillard was a law professor at Georgetown University.
She was confirmed by a 51–44 vote, with her detractors labeling her as one of the most liberal nominees to the federal bench in decades. Pillard has been compared to Ruth Bader Ginsburg for her civil rights advocacy, and has been mentioned as a possible Supreme Court nominee.

Dang, a 50 page dissent? This *really* pissed off Pillard. And understandably so. I'd still like to see the section of the Constitution that says the executive branch can just do whatever they want.
Judge Rao making domestic immigration policy a "foreign affair" is just the kind of mental gymnastics that only someone devoid of intelligence would come up with. It's giving powers to the executvie that doesn't exist.
So I guess the administration can completely disregard the courts with no punishment now? That's a terrible precedent to set.

The DC courts are notoriously leftwing. Yet Trump got enough of his judges on the DC appeals court to get him a big win. This ruling easily have gone the other way with a different panel of judges.
So Senate GOP: pull the neon green dildos out of your drippy fartclaims and confirm Trump's judges.

Jeb Boasberg needs to step down as chief judge.
He has embarrassed himself and inflicted a permanent (and well deserved I might add) black eye on the federal court system in our nation's capital.
Republicans in Washington must demand his resignation or pursue impeachment. Enough.

Boasberg made these ruling WITHOUT having anyone in the Trump administration in court, at all, mere hours after they were filed with the court. He then made excuses that the Trump Administration would not follow court orders anyway, despite having no basis for his belief. Then he acted on his baseless belief again and again in litigation over which he was presiding. He pushed the compliance hearing BEFORE the hearing on the administrations motion to vacate. A huge no-no.
His ambiguous ruling could have been clarified if the Trump administration was even allowed in the courtroom when it was made. He would have made his ruling, and then the Trump admin would have asked questions to clarify it or provided information that would clarify it. It all could have been avoided, and the results are all on his decisions.
The Supreme court VACATED his TRO - meaning the order doesn't exist, legally. Despite that, Boasberg says the administration is in contempt of the order. It's insane.
needs to be removed from the bench, pronto. Or at least blacklisted from any sort of cases involving the trump administration.

Do you think Abbott has the cajones to vacate their seats?
That is something I fully support
Posted by: Scuba_Dude at August 08, 2025 03:20 PM (Oq/TM)
Was discussing this topic in the morning thread. First, it's a good political play, a good bluff. I don't fault him at all, he's playing a weak hand very well. but...
The Texas Governor does not have the power to vacate legislative seats for any reason. Never has. What he CAN do (and is beginning to do) is to file a motion with a district judge for that judge to issue a ruling that the seat has been vacated - we'll see how good his judge shopping skills are. Could be done quickly, or could take 6 months if the Judge doesn't want to play. That would most likely be appealed, of course.

Ask Roberts if it is illegal to adopt children from Ireland.
Or, if he's had further seizures on his dock...as I believe that was the warning. Whatever it was, and/or if he'd ever had a seizure prior, are my 2nd and 3rd questions.
Seizures can happen to adults without cause, but rare vs from a brain tumor or bleed.
I know of one person who had scar tissue from birth. While he was very smart, his Apgar score was initially low...and some unknown tiny burst blood vessels. Then a grand mal seizure in college from the scar tissue. He had no issues as an infant or child.

The DOJ Has Empaneled a Grand Jury in Albany to Investigate Butch AG "Tish" James For Her Corrupt Harassment of Trump
TrashDiscourseFox:
@TrashDiscourse DOJ has referred Leticia James to a Grand Jury in Albany for a "Deprivation of Rights" investigation by the newly formed Strike Force at DOJ. This stems from the Trump case regarding the valuation of Mar A Lago. This seems like Fani Willis could be headed for the same fate based the language used in regards to James "running for office to get Trump" No word yet on what other avenues this may reach, but things are heating up
The Department of Justice convened a grand jury to investigate New York Attorney General Letitia James, marking an escalation in President Donald Trump's fight with New York's top prosecutor. The investigation is being run out of Albany, New York, and focused on possible deprivation of rights allegations, two well-placed sources familiar with the probe told Fox News Digital. The investigation is in an early stage, but Fox News Digital has learned that James's office received subpoenas for documents this week, including for information related to her civil fraud lawsuit against Trump. Separately, Attorney General Pam Bondi has authorized a special prosecutor, Ed Martin, to investigate allegations of mortgage fraud involving James and California Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff. A grand jury in Virginia will investigate claims involving James. A grand jury in Maryland will investigate claims involving Schiff.
Note that she already has a grand jury investigating her for her serial mortgage fraud. Mike Davis had previously warned James: If you continue using your office to illegally harass Trump, "Big Tish," we will "throw your fat ass in prison."

I find him the best outside source to know what's going on behind the curtain at the DOJ. He's good friends with Ed Martin, Emil Bove and a host of others at the DOJ and he knows Trump.

Which, while unlikely, is more likely to succeed than a Deprivation of Rights case. The goal might be to bankrupt her. Process as punishment, a thing she understands quite well.
It looks to me like the mortgage thing is probably primary, with more along those lines to come. I suspect Trump has just told Bondi to Capone everyone possible. Ignore the real crimes that destroyed the republic and get them on financial crimes instead. Take them out and make it clear that the easily-provable dirty pool they all play will be the rope that strings them up if they step out of line.

Posted by: Gref at August 08, 2025 01:26 PM (aBgBM)
The rainbow symbol of the LGBTQIA2S+ community symbolizes the historic fight for justice, equity and inclusion for marginalized groups. Sydney Sweeney, through her own actions, symbolizes the basest tendencies of the white cishet patriarchal power structure that perpetuates itself through the targeted destruction of rights movements and generalized oppression of outsiders living within their systems.
As a regressive symbol, using a combination of Sydney Sweeney and rainbow symbology for the purpose of elongating the era of post-capitalist excess is tantamount to violence.

They said that before his first term, but he let them off the hook. A peace offering. They responded by trying to destroy him. Based on what Trump has said, he is fully cognizant of this, and is proceeding accordingly in his second term.

It reminds me of my most treasured Baskin Robbins moment, many years ago. It was pretty full, and there was some group in line, including a pretty decent looking girl who got a BR cone. What came next was that she continued to stand by the counter, talking to her friends (btw I was with a group of my friends) and she started to lick that ice cream cone carefully all along the sides,, sticking her tongue way out. Then she smiled a bit, not at anyone in particular, and held the the ice cream where she could come down on it from the top, wrapping her lips all the way around it, and slowly moving it in and out a bit.
yeah by that time every guy in the place was completely paralyzed with their mouth hanging open. She had skillz.

Of course, you and your buddies in the Forlorn Hope had to get it there under fire, brace it against the gate with the beams you brought with you, light it off and get away before it blew.

Exactly. They have no choice in the matter - they not only have to dismiss the trump case but hold her accountable for her intense stupidity of maneuvering things into this situation. There are good REASONS why you don't do this. Because it bites you square on your fat ass every time.
Trump people chanted "lock her up" about Hillary. Trump was smart enough not to go after her legally. Because it would have gotten tossed out on the same grounds. And likely gotten him into a boatload of trouble.

Female MLB Umpire Ejects Player For Something He Did In Her Dream Last Night
"You're out of here!" Stacy Rance said, remembering how the center fielder had flirted with her best friend in the dream she had last night. "Unsportsmanlike conduct!"
Though it's highly irregular for a player to be thrown out who had no part in the current play, it happened Wednesday evening when, while serving at second base, she suddenly turned around and tossed the center fielder from the game. Though the player protested incredulously, she stood her ground. "You know what you did!" she called.
The incident led to a heated argument with the player's manager, who reportedly tried to excuse his player's behavior by pointing out how he was nowhere near the action. "What could he have possibly done from all the way out there?" he asked. But Rance demonstrated how she wasn't afraid of being bullied by men. "If you don't know, I'm certainly not going to tell you," she shouted in reply.

If we are doing predictions, the main thing is to not just stop shooting, it is to get something in place to do something useful.
I am predicting a "Mittel-Europa" trade confederacy stretching from the Baltic to the Black Sea or possibly the Med with both US and Russian support to both insulate Russia from NATO, and give the eastern European states a way to trade internationally without being forced to deal with the EU.
OK. It is also more of a hope than a prediction, but it would cut the nads off of the EU as they search for more states to engulf economically.

They are nepo babies, handed the job, without ever facing adversity or conflict their entire career.
They literally do not know how to hide their crimes because there has always been a cocoon of thugs to surround them and cover for them.
All of the concealment just happened around them and they had no clue it was going on.

It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.
Long, long afterward, out on the court
I found the dildo, alas, it's mort
And the true tale, from beginning to end,
Is rubber dildos don't break, they only bend

part of it.
Mitteleuropa was a trade confederacy dream, pre German Empire, to allow the Non Russian Eastern Europe countries have access to the Baltic and the Med to avoid the western European empires. It was a side-shoot on the German nationalist vision, and hoped to rope in the Austrians, as well as all the other small countries.
an economic and political group would have been a boon if they could have told the western powers and Russia to go piss up a rope and make it stick.

Biden Turned FEMA Into a Democrat Voter-Registration Machine and Prioritized Democrat Voters Over Republican Ones When Distributing Emergency Aid
Or himself? Miranda Divine:The Biden administration abused its power by turning the entire mechanism of the federal government into a Democratic voter mobilization campaign, according to newly unearthed White House documents viewed exclusively by The Post. The worst offender was FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, under the Department of Homeland Security, which was controlled for four years by Biden's Machiavellian border buster Alejandro Mayorkas. When responding to an emergency or a natural disaster, FEMA employees were directed to make voter registration a "key priority." They politically targeted vulnerable people in their hour of need instead of focusing on providing federal assistance. Left-wing NGOs were brought in to "educate" FEMA staff about "equity and voter access for individuals affected by disaster," says a Trump administration official. "FEMA's job is to make sure Americans who have suffered catastrophic loss due to some disaster in their community [can access] food, water and shelter ... Under President Biden, FEMA, like every agency, produced a plan on how they would leverage these crisis situations for political [purposes]. I can't think of anything more disgusting." FEMA employees were so fixated on voter outreach that, when they visited hurricane-ravaged Florida last October, they didn't even bother knocking on the doors of houses that had Trump signs in the yard. Instead of assisting Hurricane Milton survivors, they were instructed to "avoid homes advertising Trump," according to an Office of Special Counsel complaint. FEMA supervisor Marn'i Washington was fired as a scapegoat after Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis called foul on the scam and the Daily Wire reported that at least 20 homes with Trump signs or flags had been skipped by FEMA and denied the opportunity of qualifying for federal assistance. It stands to reason that if FEMA's priority was getting out Democrats to vote, the last people they would want to visit were Trump supporters. The Florida scandal came on the heels of the Biden administration's sluggish response to Hurricane Helene in Trump-supporting rural areas of North Carolina and Tennessee. Whether it was Hurricane Helene, the Maui wildfires, Hurricane Ian, or the East Palestine train derailment in Ohio, FEMA always came up short during the Biden years. The agency's inadequate performance is more understandable when you realize that providing actual disaster relief to victims had become simply a side dish to the partisan political priorities of the Democratic Party.Remember, guys, it's Trump who's running an "authoritarian government." The people who banned speech and pressured banks to terminate the accounts of political enemies, and who weaponized the FBI, CIA, and FEMA into political weapons, were the anti-authoritarians, you see.

Outright stealing elections is more disgusting.
A regulatory system accelerated to force the rapid degradation of quality and efficacy of expensive durable goods while ruining their longevity is more disgusting.
The coordinated multi-agency pursuit of energy starvation is more disgusting.
Turning disaster relief into a pay-for-play scheme that exchanges aid for votes is despicable, sleazy, callous and criminal. It's truly abhorrent. And it barely even registers.

FEMA is an agency.
FEMA therefore treated its stated purpose as a low-priority tertiary mission, with the primary mission being the advancement of Party interests and the secondary mission being an increased share of wealth and power for the agency.

I agree - I also think that a lot of the hysteria in the first few weeks was because they really did expect it to be a whole lot worse; that's what they had paid for. But they forgot that when you farm your work out to the Chinese, you always get back some cheap knock-off version that never does half of what you expected it to do, and always falls apart after a little while.

Halfway measures get us nowhere.
Any non-lefty NGO will be a lefty NGO within 25 years anyway. Just end the system. It is a failure.
There shall be no transfer of money from the government to any private organization other than for the purpose of commerce or operations. If you're selling steel to a government construction project, fine. If you're the contractor running the project or some program, fine. But nothing else. Commerce and operations only. No grants. No subsidies. No transfers to anything other than operations. If there needs to be research done for the government, sign a contract or do it in a government laboratory where there is at least hypothetical oversight. No more farming out "research" or "social assistance" or whatever else.
No more Quangos. If you want to be an NGO, be an NGO. NON-governmental. Fully, entirely, exclusively non-governmental. And pay your taxes. End tax exemptions, too.
Burn the entire NGO system down to the waterline.

Their requirements were to turn the material over to them for distribution or face legal consequences.
If you think about it, it makes more sense in the context that they were leveraging assistance to solicit registered democrat voters. AND, more importantly, the private volunteers were showing up the government workers in the process. I recall an Amish group actually building temporary homes for victims of the Hurricane in Carolina, and FEMA taking them down with a bulldozer.

I don't think it would even take much to bring the cartels down or at least severely wound them. A couple of hard hits, and the cartels will start fighting each other. Let them destroy each other. That's kinda how they got Escobar.

The thing is, when these asshats on the left are doxxing ICE members and their families, they are not doxxing them for the Antifa goons. They are doxxing them for the cartels.
This is another thing that makes me believe that a bullet may be the only remedy. These assholes are not dealing in good faith. This is not the compromise between two positions that the founders intended. These people are just straight up evil.

That crisis is what skewed everything for the last 20 years or so. Louisiana should have done it; but under Democrat Governance, it was totally incompetent at every level and just sat there, doing nothing while all the media was screeching that BUSH WAS KILLING PEOPLE! So he felt obligated to step in.
People forget how bad the corruption was - not long into it, the New Orleans police force had to be completely disbanded and National Guard units deployed to enforce martial law for about 18 months. That was when it was found out that quite a few police department leaders and officers were actually leading the looting gangs.

I talked about this situation a bit in the morning thread. It's a big game of bluff and counterbluff, and I applaud Abbott for playing this so well politically. Politics is about perception more than reality, most of the time. So enjoy the show! Because that's what it is. And try not to be too disappointed if it comes out that Abbott never had the power to do most of what he's threatening - he knows that, everyone in this Kabuki theater performance does.

It was pure corrupt incompetence from top to bottom in N.O., knowing what they did about the city being inside of a giant bowl, to literally have no plans except to stuff everybody inside the Superdome and call it a day.

Shortly after the shooting there was a very good article about him, although i haven't seen it again. In short he is a very good professional photographer who had the eye to pick the best spot to view the podium, and he had a couple very good high speed cameras set up to try and catch some good rally images. He probably took several hundred images that day with his equipment, and examining them that night was astounded to see that he had caught the bullet in flight. (He also took the iconic photo of Trump bloodied but unbowed that day)

It makes sense. Last time I was there, a solid 10% of the cars I saw in Silicon Valley were Teslas.

That is, an operational question. Don't see how it touches on underlying substance of Alien Enemies Act. Unless I'm missing the point there.
And to repeat earlier comment, even in its reasoning and explanation, the majority (of 2 vs. 1) exhibits how far off the constitutional cracker the entire discussion is. They refer to questions about the judiciary's role in foreign policy as "contentious". Which is absurd. as there is no dispute, much less a contentious one.

For those of you unfamiliar with the law world, a finding of "clear abuse of discretion" is nearly impossible at the appeal level.
It's a mirage that is always just out there but rarely found on appeal.
When the trial court rules on a matter of discretion, it law-speak for "any crazy, possible reason will justify it--even one we make up after the fact and not even in the record."
Like I said earlier, this it the equivalent of the court saying, "did you even go to law school?" to the judge.

Photographers at events like this have plenty of storage space on their cameras these days.
They don't shoot in the old way of click, wait for a good shot, click, repeat.
They turn the shutter speed up high and basically shoot like it's a mini-movie. Click*Click*Click*Click*Click*.
That way they just dump the load on their computer, pick out the best shots of the subject, and move on.
The only thing holding a photographer back in getting lots of shots is lighting inside and possibly waiting on a flash to recharge.

Dissolving Failed Cities: Ohio Needs to Revoke Cincinnati’s Charter and Break Up the Crime-Ridden City
recaps some of the most atrocious statements and actions of other Cincinnati leaders, as they too rallied around Holly’s attackers, and sought to blame Holly herself for having her head kicked while she lay there unconscious. It’s important to remember that actual video shows Holly doing nothing provocative at all, she was simply trying to stop an escalating brawl.
• City Council President Pro Tem Victoria Parks wrote on Facebook that Holly “begged for that beat down!”
• Vice Mayor Jan Michele Kinsey condemned Holly for provoking her own beat down, “We condemn the violent actions of the instigator(s) of the fight as well as the violent actions of those who responded to the provocation.”
The head of Cincinnati’s police union expressed his utter disgust at how the city has become a crime-ridden city with a governing class that will not fight crime.
Progressive judges in the city have allowed criminals to walk free on small bonds in recent years, according to [Fraternal Order of Police President Ken] Kober. One of the men arrested in connection with the Cincinnati mob attack had been out of custody for just weeks after posting $400 for bond in a case in which he was arrested on felony weapons and stolen property charges.Per this same article, the city’s police department is understaffed by several hundred officers, which is logical in its own disturbing way. A city whose leadership is pro-crime and vilifies crime victims does not need a properly staffed police force. Ken Kober told Scott Jennings that with judges refusing to keep Cincinnati criminals off the streets, “If the Mayor, the City Manager, and the Chief, if they can't figure it out or they won't figure it out, then they do need to be replaced, absolutely."
Cincinnati FOP President Ken Kober says cops are "DISGUSTED" as judges continue to let criminals walk:

"If the Mayor, the City Manager, and the Chief, if they can't figure it out or they won't figure it out, then they do need to be replaced, absolutely." pic.twitter.com/Cf9sHLI55d
At the same time, U.S. Senator Bernie Moreno of Ohio is threatening to have federal funds cut off to Cincinnati if it doesn’t immediately take action to start protecting the civil rights of all its citizens.
“Sen. Bernie Moreno threatens to cut federal funds to Cincinnati over bloody brawl” [The Hill – 8/01/2025]“I’m going to go down there next week. I’m going to deliver them a letter. They’re going to have 30 days to put together a plan to protect the civil rights of all their citizens, regardless of their race,” Moreno said during an interview on “The Benny Show.” “And if they don’t do that, I’m going to ask all the federal agencies to suspend federal funding of Cincinnati, which would kill me. Because Cincinnati is a great city. I want to help Cincinnati,” he added.As I recently wrote at The Blaze in a piece titled Time to Redraw America’s Borders — Cities, Counties, and Beyond, “Where cities have collapsed...state governments should consider carving up failed urban zones and allowing them to reorganize under fresh charters. Let those areas be resettled under new leadership, new institutions, and new expectations.” Baton Rouge can be an example for Cincinnati. With aid from the Louisiana state legislature, much of the city broke away to create the all-new city of St. George. Law-abiding areas within Cincinnati’s current boundaries should be able to start fresh with new borders and new city charters, just like St. George did in Louisiana.
The municipal secession movement already has its “Lexington and Concord moment” in Baton Rouge and St. George, Louisiana. Fueled by failing schools and rampant crime, a section of East Baton Rouge Parish began its long, litigative battle for secession. In 2024, its work paid off. The parish successfully seceded from the consolidated county government, forging the new city of St. George, Louisiana, which is now the fifth most populous city in the state.What would it take to revoke Cincinnati’s charter? The answer is simple – the existing legislature just needs to take action. Cities are creations of the state, and the state has the power to legislatively react. Republicans have super-majorities exceeding 60% control of both houses of the Ohio legislature, 65 of 99 House representatives, and 24 of 35 Senators. Beyond the power of drafting legislation to strip Cincinnati of its charter, with its Republican supermajorities, the legislature can even put a Constitutional amendment on the ballot for citizens to vote on. After the state strips the city of its charter, functioning areas of Cincinnati could be re-incorporated as new municipalities. Meanwhile, the state could run the core city until such time as it is fully reconstructed and able to function at some level of home rule. But Cincinnati as it is currently constituted has forfeited the right to govern itself. A city with leaders who rally around criminals and vilify their crime victims must be disincorporated and broken up.
What's so amazing about this story is how much more law enforcement in Cincinnati cares about convincing people that the victims DESERVED to be nearly beaten to death than condemning the savage violence.

1) It wasn't a "bloody brawl". That's like calling a lynching a disagreement.
2) The problem with saying Cincy needs to lose its right to govern itself is that the country is full of blue cities which are just as bad. Are we going to strip all of them of the vote?

A lot of the crime is down is simply handwaving off a lot of charges in blue areas. For example, felony aggravated assault with a weapon gets charged as a misdemeanor simple assault that is pled out with no jail time. Burglaries and other property crimes are simply not reported and so on.
The whole Hollywood and tv series bullshit about people that just snap is not reality. What is reality is that you have people that are habitual criminals as a way of life with a huge number of prior charges that somehow never resulted in serious prison time. And those charges escalate over time until someone is raped, murdered, or beaten into a pulp.
The asshole who beat that Cincinnati woman silly and skipped off to Atlanta is an example of these floating pieces of shit. These criminals migrate from city to city staying with cuz and friendz when the heat comes down and simply commit crimes wherever they go.
For them, it is a way of life and they simply are not going to rehabilitate and go straight unless locked away until they are too old to get up to much violence

If you're have the state take over Cincy because of crime, then states will be taking over an awful lot of cities. Worst crime city in the country? Memphis, TN. If you look at the cities with worse crime rates, a lot of them are in red states. So they should be easy to clean up or take over, right?
This Cincy story will fade away in a few weeks. It already has, to a certain degree. What happened to the guy who was beaten? All we hear about now is the woman. She is a much more sympathetic victim. She truly didn't do anything to provoke an attack.

On the local news, it was reported that they had new video where the "n" word was used. Reporter said it was unclear who used the word. A quick snippet was shone and there was a word bleeped out. Then they showed more video with plenty of additional bleeped out words, presumably as they were cussing at each other. I think the purpose of framing it this way was so the viewer could easily assume the "n" word was repeated often by the white guy. That's the state of our "news" media.

Back when Univ of Chicago was doing serious research, they figured out that about 8-10,000 hardened criminals, most of them gangbangers, committed something like 70-80 percent of all violent crime in Chicago and surroundings.
Long rap sheets showing a serious progression in criminal violence is common among those creeps and society simply cannot afford for their existence anymore because they have destroyed city after city in the US making them into pestilent dystopias from the presence of the permanent criminal class.

Now, because of bad policies, we are moving from a high trust society to a low trust society, which means that people are less likely to treat their fellow man properly, compounding the problem.
I have a feeling that many of these politicians are trying to talk their way out of these situations, because they don't have the resources to fix them, and sadly, by not appropriately responding, they are letting the situation get worse.

Gotta admit, Pete Hegseth has demonstrated how great it is when you have a leader who looks like they could join the people he leads out on the battlefield. The energy and vigor are inspiring.
Conversely, when you see some overweight male or female Police/Fire chief or military leader being a squish on standards (whether it's subordinates' behavior or enforcing policies/law), hard to deny that their inability to control their own behavior is affecting their ability to enforce standards on those they lead and/or those they have been hired to protect us from.

Doesn't need, doesn't want, can't maintain even if it did.
As much as I am not police booster, these policies make it a much more significant problem. As corrupt, indifferent, lazy, petty and tyrannical ass-covering mutual defense societies as many police departments are, they can be nothing *but* that under these conditions. Nobody good - or even just mediocre and reasonably honest - wants an impossible job. When the bad guys get busted just to have some DA or judge walk them back out onto the street, it's demoralizing to anyone who *does* want to do the job.
So anyone potentially even decent at the job quits. What you're left with is an understaffed department populated with time-marking old timers waiting for their pensions and corrupt dickheads who like hassling people and/or getting ahead through insider crime.
It will destroy the department for generations. These cities have a 20-year reform problem now.

The stupid school to prison pipeline thesis simply meant that criminals were allowed to run free in schools and then continued those criminal patterns as adults as a way of life.
The real answer is that Scotus needs to get federal courts out of schools permanently to allow communities to reassert control--by expelling the 3-5 percent assholes and let the criminal justice system give them short sharp shocks early on before the yutes begin a spiral of escalating crimes.

It is always a huge fight because the parts that want to split off are invariably the good parts that represent meaningful tax revenue.
This has happened several times in Colorado, as bits and pieces broke themselves off of Aurora or successfully fought annexation by existing cities by incorporating as new towns and cities out of unincorporated county areas.
There is precedent in other states. Not sure about Ohio law but if such splitting is possible there, those desiring it should attempt to capitalize.

There is a big problem with "let." Try "mandate" and we're getting closer. If a city has to be dissolved by some means, it must not happen like Detroit's bankruptcy where the executives are removed but middle management more or less remains in place. It needs to be a total rebuilding.

Either cities reform or they die. It is interesting that Germany, UK, etc. that clucked so much about US crime problems are now faced with the same DIEversity problem where they imported a class of violent male thugs to infest their cities. They ain't laughing and preening nowadays about that other than the brain dead Euro media.

Last summer in Denver:
A Wyoming sheriff is using a controversial message to try to recruit new deputies from nearby Denver, and the tactic has ruffled feathers in the Mile High City.
A billboard paid for by the Laramie County Sheriff's Office was unveiled in Denver on May 12 during the annual Police Week, a time that honors fallen police officers. Sheriff Brian Kozak's message is spelled out in bold on the billboard: "Work in Wyoming where breaking the law is still illegal and cops are funded!"

And their narrative won't matter for dick-all once it gets to that point. Urban street warfare is nasty business. Your narrative doesn't count when raiders are crossing kill zones set up by defenders and everyone is both highly mobile with good geographical knowledge.

I would imagine it is the same in most cities - known crime hub spots, the same people doing it over and over again. All it would take is the will to arrest and prosecute them to the fullest extent, and keep doing that with whoever replaces them.
Giuliani and Bratton did it years ago.
The system isn't broken, it's been abandoned.
About five years ago? the city of Richmond, California did some reach and discovered that seven people were responsible for the majority of violent crime in their city.
Solution?
Let's give them money!
We will set them up with an account and every time they are arrested we subtract a certain amount from their account.

What I find interesting is that when I was growing up there were some pretty poor majority-minority places in the city. Yet I, whitebread nerd, could go there and get one of the best meals around without concern that I'd be set upon by a mob.
Pretty sure that's because said city took crime seriously and the residents of said city knew they'd face a shit ton of hell if they crossed the line.
Simply writing off a large section of a city and saying "hey, they police their own and if you get hurt going in there it's your own problem" is not a solution.

Do you deny the guy started the fight? Seems to me like you're saying a guy can start a fight and then be immune from a beat down. (The girl is a different story, as I said above.) Or, that this is somehow purely a race issue. Like a black guy can can go into an Irish bar, start a fight with Paddy, and not get beat down by Paddy's mates.

Yeah, but on the other hand, I understand that if the white guy used the N-word, it would have been perfectly understandable for the black guy to throw the first punch.
I don't like any of them, but a chaotic system of "deserving" doesn't work.
It doesn't matter if somebody punched you first, you and 8-10 of your friends jumping on the guys head makes it into something wholly different.
This is, in some respect as vigilante as what the liberals hate. Well "the guy learned his lesson" is equivalent to "I guess that's one more guy that won't be robbing anyone."
They don't like when people "take the law into their own hands" (i.e. mete punishment and consequence on their own) except when angry PoC mobs do it because they have a "legitimate gripe" (As if simply wanting to live among less crime is not legitimate).
This again is where the progs only demand civility where they want it.

I believe this is related to the issue brought up yesterday by Trump, that we need a REAL census to be done in this country.
The Democrat Party power is derived from phony voters, casting phony votes. I believe the people of these large cities (and shitty states) are either resigned to bad government, and simply don't vote, or they don't exist at all.
If Trump can clean up the voter rolls and how elections are managed, it might be his single greatest accomplishment.

Even if there was provocation for them to be beating the dude. After he was down, Holly simply tried to be a shield, thinking the mob would not attack an unarmed woman and then might realize they had done enough to the dude and should disperse. Anyone who would try to justify the mob attacking her should be in a mental institution.
One could armchair QB and say no one should expect civilized behavior from a mob and Holly was reckless, but the mob should still be condemned and not excused for attacking her.

But the order itself - of course - exhibits the constitutional derailment that is now the starting point for disputes. The court says its ruling will prevent "long disputes between the Executive and Judiciary over difficult, contentious issues regarding the courts' power to control foreign policy or prosecutions".
WTFFF? In what make-believe constitution- and common sense- history-free world do the courts have any say whatsoever over foreign policy? There are no "difficult disputes". There's no dispute. There's simply judicial aggrandizement, lawlessness, and constitutional evisceration. The built-in arrogance and lawlessness of the judicial cult - to include most of its "conservative" apparatchiks - remains unchanged.

This mob attack happened right smack in the middle of the nicest part of downtown where all the entertainment and restaurants were.
On that night, there were TWO major events going on downtown (a ball game and the jazz festival) and when the bars closed there wasn't a cop to be found.
WHILE a literal mob of over 100 people were roaming around that entertainment district.

Yes and at that point, you might as well turn them into reservations, get rid of their voting rights, and build walls around them. Lots of home brewed Gazas where the barbarians come out and plunder the surrounding areas from time to time.
Far less misery to simply require martial law, bring in outside tribunals, and apply something like the Bloody Code that the UK did in the late 1700's and 1800's to end the violent criminal class caused by enclosure acts (and thus massive urbanization).

Marxism says that we could all have the same amount of stuff if we'd just follow Marx's plan. And that means that people who resist Marx's plan just don't want to share.
They're the problem. So any system that resists equal distribution as a behavior, is corrupt and needs to be torn down.
Also, it is right to "teach" the people who benefit from the system (the end goal of any type of governance) the "consequence" of their decisions. So crime is justified by benefactor's resistance to Marx.
We suffer much more from an entanglement with Marx more than an entanglement with a Church (authority/power).

The Kern Commission back in the late 60's blamed the violent riots (as did ole Mitt Romney's dad--governor of MI at the time) on racism, police brutality, lack of jobs, etc. instead of criminal thugs that liked living a life of crime. Basically the idiotic idea of root causes have to be addressed before you take out the criminal trash. As a result, crime across the US is much greater than in the early 60's, adding criminal illegals has made it worse, and the entire justice system in urban areas has essentially collapsed. Politicians have made a bad situation worse by their pandering to the criminal class to prevent riots in their minds. So we have a cold civil war going on where the law does not apply in urban areas.

violent people, unpunished, escalate their violence. That make policing harder, and more unsafe. Which results in fewer police officers. Which results in more violence.
It is an on-going escalation.
Dissolve the city and put the national guard in. The current leadership is shown the door. City is under martial law. You go to full suppression of street crime. You also have state authorities running essential city services.
In six months, all the criminal elements have either learned a lesson, beet arrested or moved away. You reincorporate the city under new management. In a year you hold elections, and you start to wind state involvement down. But you make clear - either city officials do their jobs, or they get a state takeover.

Outside the courtroom, Merriweather’s mother, Clarissa Merriweather told reporters:
“It wasn’t like they thugs. My child is in school, he has five kids, he’s on the B honor roll in school. He’s not the thug that they put out in there to be.”
There is so much wrong in her statement that I can’t even begin to pick it apart.
Merriweather has a lengthy criminal record and just weeks earlier, he was indicted on four felony charges related to stolen firearms. In 2009 he was convicted for aggravated robbery. I guess all of that was to support his five kids and budding education.

The makeup was to hide something else. I suspect the same might be true of Noem, and that is not to impugn Noem's character, just that women who have been hurt sometimes don't want to be seen.

But that's impossible in today's political environment. There simply isn't going to be any significant movement to holding blacks to the same standards as everyone else. It hasn't been so in my lifetime, and has in fact only gotten worse. So prudent people need to plan accordingly.
It's why I tend to blow off posters here who are always on about how unsafe cities have become. The truth is that if you aren't buying drugs or hanging out in shitty neighborhoods, you're reasonably safe in most cities. Not perfectly safe, but not exposed to constant danger either.
Doesn't excuse anything. I hope these thugs get the book thrown at them. But they probably won't.

That's something a lot of people don't understand about Boston. It's a very ethnic city largely divided on historical neighborhoods based on waves of immigration.
A lot of people think Boston is racist. It is but so is everywhere. People in Boston didn't just discriminate against blacks, they discriminated against anyone outside their ethnic groups. Boston might not have invented the No Irish signs but they took it to an art form. And when the next wave of immigrants came it was their turn in the barrel.

Cincy-style "chili" sauce is close in style to old-style Italian spaghetti sauce. Today's Italian spaghetti sauce is generally much thicker and richer than it was back in the day. Why? Because Italians were generally poor and used water to thin the sauce to make more of it.

UK had something like that after the Bloody Code went into effect. In essence, it nipped criminals in the bud by death penalties and harsh penal conditions thus these yutes never got to create multi generational dysfunctional crime families.
The choice is incarcerate violent criminals until they are old and feeble or put them to death if you want to stop the cycle. Not treat them as victims of society.

People that value themselves and their wants over any societal restraining mechanisms might seem to be libertarian at first but it is really more that they want their own behavioral choices to not be bound by society or law. Thus libertines always turn left because only the left permits them the degree of personal autonomy that they want in exchange for giving the left power.
Funny thing is that when the left gets power, it always kills off the libertines because socialism as an economic system starts failing from the get go. Thus, no tolerance for anything other than what the State wants.

you must be thinking of the Neapolitans, Calabrians and Sicilians who came here and opened restaurants. They may have thinned the sauce for the medigon customers, but no way in hell they thinned it at home
Italian immigrants never went to Italian restaurants to eat, unless they knew the owner and would be getting real food not imitation slop

So, whoever can whistle up the biggest mob gets a seat of power, 'localized' opinions be damned. Before the 'white flight' of the 80's (triggered by a couple of nasty black-on-white riots), the city, more or less, worked.
Cincinnati is now a democrat fiefdom, complete with 'sanctuary' status for Invaders.

If you doubt this is a war against white Christians, tell us how many homosexual activists have gone into muslim-owned bakeries demanding homogamy cakes, and then gone to the secularist courts to sue the muslim-owned bakery that refused to make such a cake?
White people are a global minority (look it up if you doubt that). If we are so horrible and oppressive, then why are all these 3rd world non-whites so vigorous in their actions to invade white nations?
Why is every other culture allowed to be proud of their nations and traditions, but somehow white Christians are NEVER allowed to be proud of our traditions and culture without being compared to nazis and slave owners?
If you cannot figure out from objective analysis of history that whites and Christians are being attacked, then you will deserve what will be coming for you.

Seriously tired of hearing about the slap (it wasn't a punch, more like a soccer slap) that "started it" When the initial arrests were made and first two were arraigned, defense attorney brought up this slap. The investigating detective told the judge he had significant amount of video from surveillance cameras that showed that was NOT the first physical aggresion, that's why white dude wasn't arrested. Many people, including commenting on this site, seem to think the cell phone video conveninently starting at slap actually tells the story. There is absolutely no evidence the woman was aggresive toward anyone. This is at least the 5th time this calendar year that groups of blacks have attacked whites. I gues they all slapped them first or called them the "n word".

yep. many people think the "incident" began with the slap and that there were only the white guy and Holly involved. I have listened to the local guy, Bill Cunningham, who has had the head of the FOP on. There is NO proof that the n word was used, there were other white people that were jumped and the beat down was well on prior to the "slap". Holly was on today and stated the jumpers were the ones using anti white language and the police were disinterested in the victims with one male officer leaning against his cruiser with his arms folded. No city personnel call for an ambulance and Holly ended up ubering home due to fear of further escalation

"As a local to Cincy, I can tell you the issue is way worse than you even know.
This mob attack happened right smack in the middle of the nicest part of downtown where all the entertainment and restaurants were.
On that night, there were TWO major events going on downtown (a ball game and the jazz festival) and when the bars closed there wasn't a cop to be found.
WHILE a literal mob of over 100 people were roaming around that entertainment district." --GHBucky
THIS is the other worrisome development. Just like violent flashmobs have decided they can run raids in Chicago's most expensive retail district, these thugs were in what used to be the safe, well-to-do downtown tourist district.
This is NOT about staying out of the bad part of town: this is about the Bad Part of Town's denizens invading the GOOD Part of Town.

Burrows is from Lubbock.
The Chamber of Commerce is a big deal there still.
They never met a tax increase or a spending project they didn't support.
Because, either way, their members--dominated by the same 5 or so large construction companies (e.g. Lee Lewis)--are going to get awarded bids to do the work.
IIRC, the Dildo Police mayor that I mentioned a while back, was supported by them.
His red light camera project was great because one of their members got the bid to install and run them.
PS: To "be" someone in Lubbock, you have to go to the Broadway Church of Christ. That was the center hub of the assholes that hated Mike Leach and conspired to run him off. To be replaced by their favored "Pine Box" Tommy Tubberville. I still don't trust Tommy.

Overture of 1812 is on the playlist, although the symphony we watch the most, Frankfurt Radio Symphony, does not have a good rendition of it (we're doing Tchaikowsky's No. 4 right now). The best "1812" I've seen so far was in Spain. I think it was a hybrid high school/community band outdoor concert, but they had a cannon, a hidden horn section in the audience and a BELL TOWER, which you don't see very often!

If it was a secret conservative plot to ensure Democrats never know what is going on, it might make sense.
Currently, they're trying to assure their readers that there is no way, no how that anyone from the Obama and Biden administrations are going to be arrested.
That tells me they are definitely and almost certain to be arrests soon.
And they need the sheep to stay calm just a bit longer so they can plot and execute their escape.

Hilton took revenge, reporting Cêpa, who was then 29 years old, to the police and filing a complaint. The police interrogated Cêpa in January 2022, and she found out in June after being contacted by a Brazilian reporter that she was being charged with five counts of “social racism” for her “transphobic” social media posts. In addition to her comments about Hilton, the public prosecutor had closely examined her social media accounts for other “transphobic comments” and added them to the charges.

I would say both. The problem for the Dems is no one gives a shit about whether Comey, Clapper, and other old white Deep State assholes get procedural charges sending them to prison. The nation has even moved on from the Clintons.
Protecting Deep State apparatchiks is simply not a popular move and the new left wants them out anyway so they can seize power in the Dems internal civil war.
Obama would be the main issue and even there, Shit Midas has lost his connection with the people. Thus, the Nixon treatment as an unindicted co conspirator is not going to move people to the streets like even a George Floyd did.

But...
The young lady's head and ear behind the face is oriented further into the background behind her face. He face is oriented more toward us which is the first oddity. The second oddity is her face which is not of the same artistic craftmanship as the rest of the painting.
IMHO, this indicates that her face was added later, not by the same artist, or the artist was in a state of decline when it was changed.

The Morning Report — 8/8/25
Governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY) said Thursday on MSNBC’s “The Weeknight” that everyone should stand up and not let the FBI “hunt down” the 50 Texas Democrat legislators who left the state to avoid a vote on redistricting.The Democrat Party is a lawless, insurrectionist terrorist organization dressed in the trappings of a political party, that has been undermining our nation and society in its unslakable lust for absolute power for over 200 years. From slavery, to civil war, to government-sanctioned racism and concentration camps for the Nisei, to election rigging, Dear FBI, anyone and everyone including this slithering cadaver who gets in the way of your agents doing their duty should have the cuffs slapped on them and hauled off to a jail cell. But as we all know, lawlessness is as lawlessness does. And on that note, the beatdown from a corrupt leftist controlled/manipulated judiciary goes on:
U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams—an Obama appointee, naturally—issued a temporary restraining order Thursday to halt construction at Florida's migrant detention facility, dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz.” The 14-day order stops all construction projects at the facility, including lighting, paving, excavation, and fencing, though it doesn't affect current detainees. Williams justified her decision by claiming environmental concerns, citing potential damage to "sensitive wetlands" and threats to "protected plants and animals." Can you hear my eyes rolling? Let's be crystal clear about what's really happening here: This judge prioritized hypothetical environmental damage over actual border security and the safety of American citizens.And Psaki-Psircling back to my railing against the Democrats' history of misery, evil and crime:
The battle between Texas and Democrat states over gerrymandering seems likely to touch on the biggest driver of Democrat gerrymandering which fundamentally altered the political balance of power in state after state. Louisiana v. Callais is likely headed for a big Supreme Court decision that will fundamentally change how the Voting Rights Act enforces minority districts. There’s nothing to celebrate about the 60th anniversary of the VRA, a civil rights era relic which long ago stopped fighting segregation and instead enforced partisan gerrymandering with no end in sight. When the Supreme Court began allowing VRA ‘monitoring’ of elections in some states to sunset, Democrats cried that segregation and slavery were about to come back.But for all the talk of democracy and racism, Louisiana v. Callais shows what keeping the zombie VRA alive is really about. The case is about whether federal courts can force Louisiana to create two Democrat congressional seats under the guise of creating two black seats. It’s a common form of gerrymandering that uses race as a trojan horse for mandating Dem seats. When heavily gerrymandered Democrat states like California, New York and Illinois eliminate Republican seats, that’s not seen as a Voting Rights Act violation even though much as Democrat seats are disproportionately minority, Republican seats are disproportionately white. Democrats are not fighting to keep the VRA alive because they care about black people, but because they care about maintaining the racially gerrymandered seats produced by VRA abuses.Given the miracle of the Dobbs decision that dismantled the evil of Roe v. Wade, and the torrent of vitriol and actual terrorism against pro-life organizations and churches as well as average citizens
Man Who Brutally Beat Elderly Pro-Lifers Dodges Prison Time — He was sentenced to only one year of home detention after the brutal attack outside a Planned Parenthood facility.
As we discussed on the latest episode of the podcast, the notion that the Russia Collusion hoax pimps/purveyors will be prosecuted let alone convicted are slim to none.
Most especially Barack Hussein Obama, because of the firestorm of racialist violence it would unleash that will make the 2020 Summer of Floyd look like a smoldering cigarette butt drooping from his purple dog-eating lips. Given all of that do you think that SCOTUS especially this one is going to even hint at reversing the hideous VRA?!
Moving on to the international scene, this item caught my eye this morning:
The Trump administration on Thursday offered a $50 million reward for information leading to the arrest of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro. “Maduro uses foreign terrorist organizations like [Tren de Aragua], Sinaloa and Cartel of the Suns to bring deadly drugs and violence into our country,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a video posted on X. The Drug Enforcement Administration has thus far seized 30 tons of cocaine linked to Maduro and his associates, Bondi said, and “nearly seven tons linked to Maduro himself, which represents a primary source of income for the deadly cartels based in Venezuela and Mexico.”
One wonders if this is a shot across the bow against Brazil's commie dictator Lula Da Silva, who fancies himself as a Bolivarian anti-Trump. Hopefully Maduro goes the way of Manuel Noriega late of Panama and this mortal coil. And in the Middle East, as we also discussed on the podcast, it looks as if Israel at long last is going to re-occupy Gaza in part if not completely in a final bid to free the remaining hostages and stomp out Hamas.
Israel’s political-security cabinet approved a plan early on Friday to take control of Gaza City, as the country expands its military operations despite intensifying criticism at home and abroad over the devastating almost two-year-old war. “The IDF will prepare to take control of Gaza City while providing humanitarian aid to the civilian population outside the combat zones,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said in a statement, referring to the Israeli Defence Forces.Let's hope the Israelis have finally rejected the insanity of land for peace.
Israel Can’t Win Without Beating the Muslim Brotherhood And the same is true for America.
Certainly this is true, but at the end of the day what is the muslim Brotherhood? And what is Hamas, Hezbollah and all the rest, be they head choppers, Islamikaze suicide bombers or merely ululate and pass out candy when Jews are raped, beheaded and roasted alive in front of their parents? All of them are ISLAM. And whatever became of this effort. Yeah go after Maduro, but I think this is pretty damned crucial as well.

Why not? I mean, besides the obvious reason of Party preference.
I have no idea if I am right, but it *looks* straightforward to me:
1. The Texas Democrat congressmen have fled the state to avoid performing their duties as congressmen.
2. Fleeing the state to avoid performing congressional duties is a violation of Texas law
3. Texas demands extradition of the fled congressmen back to Texas so they can face prosecution
4. The destination state refused extradition
Correct me if I am wrong (seriously), but isn't this one of those fairly rare examples of the legitimate and constitutional uses of federal police powers? This is an extradition disagreement between two states.

This is a wildly inaccurate statement. Nothing of the sort happened.
The judge prioritized Party objectives over law, reason or sense. The Party objective is to interfere with immigration enforcement. The judge's job was to advance that objective. The judge found a way to advance that objective. That's it.
The actual rationalization used for the ruling - in this case it was the environment (and wrongly, per my understanding of the laws/rules cited, but I dunno), but it could have been anything - is irrelevant. The judge did *not* choose to put hypothetical environmental damage over the actual security and safety of citizens. The judge *did* choose to advancing Party objectives over everything else, at all costs.
It's time to stop letting these people claim that it's a dislocation between some judge's priority X, Y or Z over some other person's priority A, B, C. It is *never* about that. Ever. It's Party Objective vs Other. Every time. Without exception.

This is they key point that so very many people fail to understand. There are various "shot callers" throughout the Complex, but there is no unified plan. No head hencho. No dictator defining what needs to happen at all levels. There doesn't need to be and such a structure is, in reality, a liability.
Much better to just have fellow travelers who know what to do.
Upon assessment of how Nazi Germany operated, Kershaw described it as "Working Toward the Fuhrer." Hitler (or his lieutenants) didn't have to issue orders for most routine things. Those in positions of control at all levels - the social secretary of a village, the production coordinator at a factory, whatever - knew what the Fuhrer wanted and just "worked toward" it in his own way. No orders needed. No vast conspiracy. Just alignment.

The FBI has gone to extraordinary lengths to obstruct the release of Rich’s information, citing classified documents, ongoing investigations, and other specious reasons. Why?

Trump has helped negotiate an end to 7 wars around the world in 7 months including a war between Rawanda and the DRC that had gone on for 3 decades and everyone said was impossible to stop.

Not even.
It's just political marketing. Fine wants something to claim he did in the next election, while actually doing nothing. He "proposed legislation" to do something obvious. That's as far as it will go, as far as it ever goes, as far as it is *designed* to go. This is pick up a talking point and do nothing. Probably 80% of Congressional activity is political marketing. Most of what they do is either obvious or outrageous, and designed to fail but accumulate talking points.

It's really remarkable how well Trump's rationalization of conflict negotiation has gone. Not a perfect track record (Russia and Ukraine are still at war, Iran is barely contained, etc.) but a damn good one, and much better than any of his predecessors going back many decades. And he has a few years left to keep going.

I read a book by a former SEAL who was active back in the 70s and 80s. He was on assignment to a Central American country and the local Jesuit priest was deliberately working against the Americans.
One day he got a delivery. It was a human silhouette range with several head and chest shot. On it was written the range of the shooter and that the target was an anti-American Jesuit.

CO2 in the atmosphere has been increasing but that's a lagging effect of, not a cause of, the Earth's warming. As the oceans warm they can't hold gases as well so a small amount of those gases moves into the air, CO2 included. It's science!
As a youth, I unwittingly ran an experiment that proves this. More than once I let my tropical fish tank get too warm which drove out the O2 (and CO2) so my guppies went belly up. Where's my Nobel Prize?
Zeldin just had the EPA propose rule changes to overturn the Endangerment Finding that CO2 is the cause and more. This will have momentous consequences but you won't hear of it in our Media which only covers its own circus.

And they're *almost* right about that. Almost.
It was never a majority position among the left. Most of the left didn't notice or care. It was, as it always is, an extremely shrill, extremely stupid and extremely loud corps of social media denizens going insane. That's all it *ever* is. But this time - as is increasingly happening as the preference cascade does its thing - it didn't work. The right amplified the crazies and didn't let up on taking them to the rhetorical woodshed.
The non-Left *did* amplify it hard and cause it to go into an escalation cycle that left the Left looking more and more insane and retarded. But the Left also needs to be careful about admitting this. Much of their social power has been coming from these retarded blue-hairs shrieking on X and TikTok. it was never any more real than this incident was, and they should be cautious when it comes to admitting that.

No, it is not, but the reason is that *everyone* on all sides is lying about what’s going on for their own political purposes. (I can’t say enough how much this story annoys me). The whole thing is a big gay Kabuki theater dance and anyone who’s involved knows it. Start with the most recent - no, Patel did NOT agree to get the FBI involved, except for information. What is that information? It’s looking at any media outlet and reading about the hotel in Illinois where they’re all staying and holding nightly public parties and saying “look at us! Here we are, Nyah Nyah!” And then they drop their pants and moon everyone. Yeah, it’s real hard to figure out where they are.
Actual fact: no, they cannot be detained by anyone outside of the State of Texas because they are *Not* charged with any actual crime. (Cont’d)

Absolutely. As we conspiracy theorists have been saying for years the globalists at the UN/WEF/every other globalist institution, were hell bent on their plans for an open border, global governance regime and they were well down the road implementing it.
And then along came Trump. Look what they tried to do to him. Put aside the outrage for a second and just factually look at what they did just to try and keep him out of office not to mention silence us. It was never a conspiracy theory. It was a conspiracy and it wasn't just confined to the US.
The trade deals Trump is doing are way bigger than just financial. He is resetting global relations and ending wars. And he's destroying their open borders myth while inspiring like minded people around the world.
It is a war of a different type and we were losing. Not so much anymore. Miles to go but we are fighting and winning.

Again, this is pretty much true. The Left did its thing and the retards went on social media to bitch and complain about Muh Identity Politics, to get the non-faith-promoting thing shut down.
The Right took it, amplified it, and turned it back on them. The Right *did* "shape the argument" insofar as it ever actually was an argument. But it wasn't actually an argument. The argument never existed. Retarded crazies looking to flex bigger-than-it-appears social power existed, and the Right called their bluff as it has been doing more frequently.

Love my governor! Like the rest of us, he seems to get angrier at each insult, indignity, and unconstitutional/criminal action. I appreciate that he's not afraid to speak his mind.
Governor Pritzker is a damned good human being. Toss politics to the side. He is striving for good over bad, right over wrong. Two reasons he is not a Republican.
He Should be President. Right on all the issues. A real billionaire, doesn't need the money. He seems like the kind of guy you would enjoy having a beer with. Illinois Democrats make great Presidents!
conservatives like to whine about the taxes, gas prices in Chicagoland, property tax. But I wonder if they whine when they get on the L and get across Chicago in 20 minutes. I've seen that supposedly the population is declining, but that's mostly in the red counties and places where Republicans are in charge. Illinois is booming, thanks to Governor Pritzker.

Because there's no market for it. Most female sports exist on pseudo-charity extracted from either male leagues or taxpayers. They *have* to be heroic, because it takes heroic effort to keep their organizations afloat.
If they were paid what they're worth, they'd all be playing amateur league games after work. They have to run this kind of messaging - of making their existence an incredibly important moral victory - because the reality is that there's no reason for any of it.

If the Texas House Speaker was a conservative, they probably could have, but he’s a CofC / GOP-e “Republican” who got some of the Republicans and all of the Democrats to vote for him for Speaker, in order to block an actual Conservative from being Speaker. (Yes he has the backing of the Bush Family org). So it had to be brought up in a special session called by the Governor.
And yes the CofC/GOP-e/Bush Family “republicans” love the that Dems have run away. They pretend to be “conservative” to get votes, while in office they work as hard as they can to sabotage everything.

Women's Tennis is the better watch, especially on hard courts...
Women's gymnastics and figure skating have more art and flexibility than men's (and better looking folks, let's be honest)...
Women's beach volleyball can also be the better watch b/c there's more back and forth (again, men can be too good and make it less fun to watch serve, spike, redo)...
Women's swimming and track probably draw equally to men - swimming being big here and track in Europe, but again, not exactly team, and look and drama probably plays a role (as does our own country's talent).

And with rare exceptions, very few major household-name kind of stars even where it's popular enough to survive. To get that kind of star power - and the paycheck to match - you have to be in one of the big ones. And that's relevant because it does come down to money.
Women's soccer and basketball in particular have bugs up their asses about earning so much less than the male teams. Well yeah. The male teams put butts in seats. The female teams don't. Nobody cares, and the female teams exist on subsidies.
Outside of the big sports, sometimes female versions of the thing are worth it - but the paychecks aren't big enough to really bitch about anyway. Tennis is, but it's also an individual game (except doubles, I guess).

It’s not that he wasn’t ready, it’s that he oversold his threat for political purposes. The actual process to remove a legislator from office requires filing a motion at a district court requesting a finding of abandonment of office, and hoping to get a sympathetic ruling. (That will depend on his judge shopping skills). Maybe it could work that easy, maybe it will get bogged down in months of appeals and delays.
A Texas Governor does not have the power to do this on his own; by design the Texas Governor’s office is one of the weakest of any of the States. I actually give credit to Abbot for having been able to do so much with it by bluffing most of the time.

Maybe parts of the south...I don't see folks running here to watch softball, and it won't make national sponsorships...it's like women's ice hockey, which is also huge...in about 4 places...
And honestly, if anything could work, I'd think women's ice hockey could work better b/c it would be higher scoring than men, and women could bring more grace than grit (so it could be a "different but equal" watch - aka, they'd look more like Russian teams than American ones)...but ice hockey, like baseball, is on the bottom of the big 4, and probably now under soccer at 5...so, it's already bleeding interest on the men's side and wouldn't rekindle it with women...

I've been to a couple of basketball games. I had a boss who liked basketball and would use the company card to buy tickets as "attaboys" for going above and beyond. Happened to me a few times, so I went. I'll go if it's free, but basketball was never a sport that particularly interested me.
I have seen enough it, however, to notice that Lacrosse is the same game. Much, much more like basketball than it is like soccer. The play, motion, etc. are actually really similar. I suspect the skills would translate between the two fairly well.

But again, at the start of the season, someone had to pay the league entry fees. No one was being paid to play.

Nobody watches female beach volleyball because they want to see volleyball.
Nobody watches men’s water polo because they want to see water polo.
The WNBA’s problem is nobody wants to watch girls play basketball, and the players are almost uniformly hideous dykes both inside and out. There’s no reason to watch other that to laugh at dildos thrown onto the court.

Was it... really? The media said that it was but was it?
I suspect it was more media hype. Face it, basketball is a sport largely watched by black men and soccer is a sport largely watched by Hispanic men. Neither of which is particularly sympathetic to the idea of women's equivalency.

HOCKEY! esp international - the Dutch and Argentinian women's FH teams are incredible
the men's play is good but like tennis it ends up being less watchable due to weird hard hits (that can and have killed other players) and a lot of "me pass to me" play. the women tend to play a system with alterations - they play like teams!
hockey - on turf, grass, sand or especially hard court (Hockey 5s and 7v7 indoor) - is amazing.
I'm also enjoying women's rugby especially 7s

I'll take the other side of this. I hope Trump doesn't get it. Ever. Not because he doesn't deserve it or hasn't earned it - he has - but because the prize itself is such a festering boil.
Donald Trump does *not* belong in the same club as Barack Obama, Al Gore and Yasser Arafat. The Nobel Peace Prize is a grotesque exercise in hideousness that brings shame to the winner's family. Why subject Trump to that? It isn't worth it, not even if it represents the Nobel panels bending the knee.
The prize is just so ugly and contemptible now that the best thing to do would be for him to reject it in the unlikely event that they do offer it.

It's been more recent than that. I think the Blue Origin NS-31 trip - the Estronaut mission - likely marks the critical turning point, and it was only a few months ago.
Even last year, Katy Perry and Gale King crowing about being astronaut heroes would have been able to carry the narrative and it would have fizzled out. But I think we are in the inflection point now and this time, the grrrrl power thing could not carry the day, nor could the media outlets and the blue-hairs on X and TikTok.
The Sydney Sweeney ad *could* wind up being a turning point on the "everything is racist" thing, but it's too early to tell. It also acts as a confirming data point for the changes to the general level of tolerance for grrrrl power narratives.

But what Abbott has done is to make a national issue out of a big series of bluffs in which he’s been claiming to have power that he simply does not have. So he’s got to get lucky and get a series of friendly judicial breaks to go on from here.
So far he’s made the best of a very weak hand. We’ll see what he can do from here.

There is an insurrection in the country, a creeping fascism, a defiance of the Constitution: It is the judiciary.
2) Clown Judge Bonerbuger is working toward releasing the grand jury testimony of Kash Patel in re. J6 Witchhunt. Based on the flimsy excuse of the Senate D's "investigation" during his already-past confirmation. Mootness, standing and public interest are irrelevant to attacking Trump.
3) The Hate Feed has whining about Trump's 16th consecutive win at SCOTUS. Crying that he's using the "shadow docket." Well bitches, if the clown judges weren't issuing illegal order, with no basis in law or fact, then the record would be 0-0.
Especially since the more retarded clown judges don't understand that the shadow docket is binding and precedential--not the dissents.

Doesn't bother me. I don't really get it, but whatever. It's entertainment and a social event and a major brand affiliation. As long as you don't want my money for it, have at it. Buy all the jerseys you want.
The only think that really rankles me is when they take my money (stadium subsidies, etc.) for it or try to use social power to exploit their fans for sociopolitical purposes ("fuck you, whitey," etc). The latter is self-limiting.

: Biden abused his authority by turning FEMA into a far-left political machine
“When responding to an emergency or a natural disaster, FEMA employees were directed to make voter registration a ‘key priority.’”

“FEMA’s job is to make sure Americans who have suffered catastrophic loss due to some disaster in their community [can access] food, water and shelter … Under President Biden, FEMA, like every agency, produced a plan on how they would leverage these crisis situations for political [purposes]. I can’t think of anything more disgusting.”
FEMA snubbed GOP
FEMA employees were so fixated on voter outreach that, when they visited hurricane-ravaged Florida last October, they didn’t even bother knocking on the doors of houses that had Trump signs in the yard.
Instead of assisting Hurricane Milton survivors, they were instructed to “avoid homes advertising Trump,” according to an Office of Special Counsel complaint.
FEMA supervisor Marn’i Washington was fired as a scapegoat after Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis called foul on the scam and the Daily Wire reported that at least 20 homes with Trump signs or flags had been skipped by FEMA and denied the opportunity of qualifying for federal assistance.
It stands to reason that if FEMA’s priority was getting out Democrats to vote, the last people they would want to visit were Trump supporters.

Top Story
- The Framework Desktop is here and it is the perfect machine for a very specific subset of users. (Tom's Hardware)
The 16 core CPU is as fast as you'd expect, and the 40 core integrated graphics are quite capable of playing your games at 2560x1440.
But where it really excels is when you need 96GB of memory on your GPU. That would cost you $10,000 or more on a dedicated graphics card, while this entire PC is just $2000.
If you don't need 96GB of memory on your GPU, it's still nice, but you're probably be better off with a system with dedicated graphics.
Tech News
- Silicon Motion offered a sneak peek of is PCIe 6.0 consumer SSD controller. (Tom's Hardware)
But Pixy, didn't you say that PCIe 6 wouldn't be coming to the consumer market for at least three years?
Yes. It won't. Expected in 2028.
- The Radeon Pro W7400 is AMD's latest graphics card, sort of. (Notebook Check)
It's not super fast, but it's a half-height, half-length, single-slot card with 8GB of RAM four mini-DisplayPort outputs, and it uses on 55W of power so it can draw all its needs from a standard PCIe slot.
- The CWWK X86-P6 NAS is an N355 eight-core mini-PC designed for NAS duties. (Serve the Home)
With four M.2 slots and... An external fan.
- The Xyber Hydra is a GMK Nucbox G9 - a tiny four-bay NAS - but with better cooling. Which is to say, any cooling. Liliputing)
That being the Achilles heel of the Nucbox. The Achilles everything, really.
Does it solve the problems?
Mostly, yes. The Nucbox has serious thermal throttling problems, while this model only shows throttling at the end of a long test, with default fan settings, and the CPU running at 100%.
The current model Hydra offers a four-core Intel N150 and 16GB of RAM. A model with an eight-core N305 and 32GB of RAM will follow. The reviewer does offer a word of caution if you hope to run all eight cores at 100% with the current cooling solution though.

Currently PC game developers porting games from PS5 and Xbox Series X/S that really utilize the storage functionality are using DirectStorage, a Microsoft API to utilize part of your GPU to do the decompression task. Typical PC CPUs already have a media engine that would serve but it doesn't have the needed inline connection to the storage. Having to get stuff into main RAM before anything can be done to it is a big delay, when you're trying to create big elaborate game environment that doesn't use tricks to make you not notice the delay when data is loading.
Having a lot more RAM than a consoles helps a bit but only so much. It isn't a 1:1 substitute.

Served chilled with a simple oil/vinegar/Spanish onion vinegrette:
- 200 g asparagus
- 29.58 ml butter (or olive oil)
- 0.25 ml salt
#### DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 180 C (360 F).
- Prepare asparagus by snapping the lower "woody" part of the stem off (if it snaps cleanly you've got the right place; if it is difficult to break try higher up!), and peel the lower section if they're a bit old or thick.
- Tear off a large enough piece of aluminium foil to wrap around the bunch of asparagus securely, and place asparagus in foil.
- Dot with butter and sprinkle lightly with salt.
- Wrap securely, and then wrap an extra strip of foil around the tip end to protect it.
- Bake in oven for 25-35 mins, depending on the thickness and age of the asparagus (Mine were done in 30 and I'd say they were fairly average sized).
- Try to wait until you're ready to serve before you unwrap them, or better still, serve them still wrapped in the foil.

Oven on 450. Middle shelf. Back until the tops get silver/black in color. Turn over and the same for the other side.
After they're on the plate split open, we put the fat on them like butter and sprinkle on a bit of coarse salt.

“Le Freak” enjoyed #1 status atop the disco charts for seven consecutive weeks in the summer of 1978, as well as being the first song to hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 three separate times.
On New Year’s Eve 1977, disco star Grace Jones had invited Rodgers and Edwards to the exclusive widely popular New York City nightclub Studio 54 but hadn’t put them on the guest list.
After being denied access by an ignorant rude doorman and despite the fact that Chic’s music was regularly played in the club, the pair angrily left and ending up creating what would become one of the era’s most enduring classic dance-funk songs.

As Nile Rodgers told Sound On Sound:
We were so pissed off at what had happened. I mean, it was Studio 54, it was New Year’s Eve, it was Grace Jones, and we were wearing the most expensive outfits that we had… We grabbed a couple of bottles of champagne from the corner liquor store and then went back to my place, plugged in our instruments and started jamming.
Originally the song featured the lyrics “Fuck off!“ but by the end of the night Rodgers had lightened it up a bit:
That night we actually converted ‘fuck off’ to ‘freak out’. First, we changed it from ‘fuck off’ to ‘freak off’ and that was pretty hideous. Then, all of a sudden, it just hit me. For one second, the light bulb went on and I sang ‘Aaaaahh, freak out!’

Chic's "Le Freak" still has a smooth and irresistible sound, doesn't it? And the performers themselves are accomplished and well-dressed. The use of the violins makes for a sophisticated package. Compare to today's "rap" or "soul" artists, and "you too will be sold."
I still think Sister Sledge's best song is not that "We Are Family" drek, but the dark and smooth-running "Greatest Dancer." Both "Le Freak" and "Greatest Dancer" helped make 1979 into the last truly great year for pop music (again, to me).

The latter is really a proxy for the entity that designed and trained the LLM.
If your AI engine won the right government contracts, it would likely have to involve an incredible amount of bribes and promises to break, but you would be in virtual control of the entire government and the myriad of people and other groups who would attach themselves to the same LLM that has been endorsed.

Howdy! Welcome to the Thursday ONT. Know who get it? The Poles get it.

Trans Terror Brazilian Woman Granted Refugee Status in Europe After Facing 25-Year Sentence for ‘Misgendering’ Trans Politician
In a precedent-setting move, a European country has officially granted full refugee protections to a Brazilian women’s rights activist who was facing 25 years in prison in her home country for misgendering a transgender politician. Isabella Cêpa is the first person to be recognized as a victim of state persecution for her outspoken opposition to gender identity ideology. As previously reported by Reduxx, Cêpa first came under criminal investigation after she made a social media post about Erika Hilton – a male politician who “identifies” as a woman. Hilton was elected to São Paulo’s municipal government in November of 2020, winning his seat by a landslide that gave him the title of the most voted-for ‘woman’ in Brazil.Surprisingly enough, it's the EU granting asylum. I would have expected it to be one of the Eastern Bloc countries. Washed In The Blood Of The Lamb
At the time of his victory, Hilton was celebrated in international media as being a “symbolic triumph” for transgender people. Hilton was amongst the top 10 most-voted for candidates in all of Brazil, and was touted as the “only woman” to make the list.
It was the widespread announcement of his victory that first put him on Cêpa’s radar.
Redeemed Whores, Prideful Virgins, and What To Do with the Doctrine of Expiation
What followed was predictable: a stampede of screeching outrage, not from liberal heretics or blue-haired witches, but from the alt-right young men who usually chant “Christ is King” with us in the trenches. Apparently, the Gospel of Jesus Christ is fine when it saves murderers, warlords, and Confederate war generals, but not when it washes clean the girl with a body count. We can forgive Saul of Tarsus, but not the girl who had a stripper pole in her living room. What this backlash revealed is that even among those who claim the name of Christ, there is a deadly misunderstanding about the nature of redemption. They love the aesthetics of Christianity (the blood, the cross, the judgment) but they have no patience for the glory of forgiveness. They wield law like a war hammer but have no category for grace. To them, the Gospel is a tool for smashing their enemies, not resurrecting their sisters. That is why I responded the way I did. I said: “This tweet from Protestia brought some H8rs out of the woodwork. But let me be clear: We are going to stand with the Gospel Doctrine of Expiation, and continue to proclaim its supernatural power to redeem sinners.”There's an interesting theological debate to be had there if anyone wants to have it. I pretty much agree with the author of the linked piece. Sin is sin, be it murder or theft or fornication, and we're all guilty. If the sinner truly repents in Christ, those sins are washed clean and the sinner is born again. If it's good enough for Christ it should be good enough for a prospective partner. Besides, if she really has repented, she'll might make a fine wife, and the wedding night will be one to remember.

mRNA-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccines: The intracellular aggregation of encoded spike monomers and their subunits as a cause of cardiac side effects I lost the link, but the linked paper was summarized like this at the page I got this from:
New study published in the prestigious Frontiers in Immunology journal reveal that modRNA "covid vaccines" program human cells not to produce a uniform spike protein as intended (as a SARS-CoV-2 antigen) - but rather produce multiple variants of this protein and undesirable products that trigger inflammatory conditions in the body, including heart inflammation. These spike protein variants and undesirable products aggregate into clumps inside the cell into which the vaccine mRNA has entered (including heart cells), which in the long term cause internal stress, inflammation, and cell damage. In practice, this inflammation in heart cells can lead - over time- to symptoms such as heart palpitations, weakness, and lethal myocarditis. Depending on the person, these conditions can arise much earlier or much later. The aggregated spike protein variants and its fragments mostly remain in the cells. This means that the body cannot simply get rid of them. Unlike a virus, which is completely eliminated by the immune system, the cell itself produces these substances and does so for an extended period. If the affected tissue does not regenerate or is inherently sensitive (like the heart), this can lead to chronic ailments, myocarditis, and over time to life-threatening heart rhythm disorders.The science is settled?

The dam is breaking on Britain’s illegal immigration crisis — and the results could be ugly
Britain’s Labour government is in trouble: Its program of massive third-world immigration from places like Pakistan and Somalia is wildly, overwhelmingly unpopular.Now I don't really think the Brits are going to stand Starmer up against a wall on Christmas...but there's always the Tower of London.
But that’s not the real problem.
The real problem is that despite the best efforts of Prime Minister Keir Starmer and his leftist captive media, Britons themselves have discovered just how unpopular it is.
You might think that’s absurd — if mass immigration is unpopular, how can everyone not know it?
Everyone doesn’t know it because the government has been policing speech about immigration. Any criticism of open borders, lax enforcement or — worst of all — immigrant crime has been punished as “racist” and “hate speech” by the Starmer regime.
We're From The Government, We're Here To Help Biden Put This Harmless Mechanic In Prison. Now, Troy Lake Is Asking Trump for Help
Until 2018. One day in October of that year, the Lakes and one of their employees were enjoying a meal at a local Olive Garden when the federal government executed a search warrant on Elite Diesel. They watched via an app on their phones that accessed the shop's cameras.Thing is, he did do what he was accused of, but maybe this is a time for the “it's a stupid rule” principle to kick in. Personal Note This is the last Thursday ONT I will be writing. I've been doing this for almost ten years, I'm tired boss. Don't worry, I'll still be kicking your weekend off right by meeting your meme needs on the Friday ONT, but starting next week Thursdays will be covered by the eminently capable Doof. It's been a pleasure and an honor to entertain you Morons all these years. Tonight's ONT has been brought to you by the Anti-loneliness Club:
"It looked like a military operation," Holly told Cowboy State Daily. She said black SUVs were lined up outside, and "agents in tactical gear" raided the place, going through every corner of the building, rifling through their equipment, and reading their personal files.
After what the Lakes call the "raid," nothing happened for several years. The family eventually decided to move back to Wyoming, taking Elite Diesel with them. They even contacted the feds to let them know they were moving and stayed in touch, trying to do everything on the up-and-up.
But today, Troy Lake sits in federal prison in Colorado, where he has spent the last six months.

And the war ending when it did didn't just save American and Japanese lives. Every day the war continued the excess deaths in Japanese-occupied territories, and in combat outside Japan or the Pacific, piled up. And there's good reason to believe several areas were on the cusp of public health catastrophes (apart from Japan, which definitely was) - which kill far, far more than even major military operations.

Fascism is when the Government tells corporations what to do.
Communism is when the Government owns the corporations, and then tells them what to do.
Oligarchy, which we are close to, is when some rich folks own the Corporations, and the Government, and tells both what to do.

But from that point, when it was taken seriously they really, really took it seriously. “This can potentially end the war” and the consensus was everyone work as hard as they could on it. Every day counted.
There was no way they were going to spend $2 billion in 1942 dollars and then not use a new super bomb that would save thousands of lives. It avoided an invasion that would have proved very deadly.
There was talk by some that a demonstration should be held. Instead of bombing a city. These talks were held before the first implosion type plutonium bomb had been tested at the Trinity site.
But it was decided by the interim committee and others, including Fermi, Oppenheimer, etc, that there was no realistic alternative to dropping it on a city

I read the article and the conclusion is pretty clear: the author is an asshole - has absolutely no idea what conviction of the Holy Spirit is and uses a deep edge case hypothetical to blanket condemn anyone who doesn't share the lack of wisdom this character has. The irony is, he has grace for the OF women but zero grace for believers who have taken to heart the book of Proverbs.

Another thing there never was: a "decision" to use the A-bombs. It was the default situation, no need for a separate decision, the decision to build/test the system was the decision to use it, if deemed necessary. Yet another false implied premise of the "revisionist" hacks.
I've never seen this point discussed, but correspondence with a prominent Pacific war historian just last week showed he completely agreed.
And don't be so sure about Hokkaido. The Soviets had barely any amphibious capability of the sort required. In fact one of our last tranches of Lend-Lease aid gave them their only suitable vessels, and their forces in the Far East had no specialized training.

But, what if it’s a dud? They were sure the “gun type” bomb would work. But they only had enough U-235 for the one bomb.
The gun-type detonator system was discovered late in the game, through calculations, it wouldn’t work with plutonium. This was an epic problem. Now they had to make the implosion type trigger mechanism work.
And they had to test it first, using up very scarce plutonium. They wanted to drop 2 in a row on Japan in quick succession, to give the impression that the Americans had a pile of these things, we’re gonna hit you every other day and twice on Sunday.

Redeemed Whores, Prideful Virgins, and What To Do with the Doctrine of Expiation
This article is the same old "Jesus wants you to man up and marry the slut" message of numerous modern churches wrapped in fancier dress. The ran-through 304 with a body count of the same number may find salvation and forgiveness from God, and could be accepted in good faith as a fellow believer, but the damage to her mind and body doesn't just vanish. The ability to pair bond will be gone, and the odds she will cheat on and/or divorce her husband will be exceptionally high. This person's advice is potentially ruinous to a young man who follows it. I'd put it on par with encouraging someone to jump in front of a speeding bus because God will save him if he truly believes.

Nonsense. Aside from tariffs, which are just another form of tax policy, there is wholesale de-reg across the board. Apart from (thankfully) enforcing civil rights laws and the constitution to prevent political persecution by businesses, every move is to reduce regulation.

When you have a religion of hate, its incompatible to have forgiveness and redemption - unless the Leftist is the transgressor, than forgiveness and redemption are mandatory on your part.
Exhibit A: The response the Left had to the Clot Shot. They wanted everyone who didn't get the Kill Shot to lose their jobs, children, health care and freedom. They built concentration camps and used the courts to imprison those who didn't fully comply. Zero tolerance. Zero compassion. Zero empathy.
Then when it was shown that everything they believed in was a lie. They demanded that we forget their hate, cancelling, destroying of lives and pretend that it never happened.
They demanded that they are not held responsible for the trillions of dollars lost, the parents who died and had no funerals, the graduates who had no ceremonies, the business owners who lost everything.
You must forgive them even though they refuse to apologize. You must restore them as leaders over you even though they still want you dead.

Today’s example being Trump calling for the firing of Intel’s new ceo. Which has nothing to do with his ties to China and all to due with his admission of and attempt to pivot from lack of *free market* interest in Intel’s foundry biz in its current state.
You can Google this and see it for yourself.
“In Intel’s quarterly filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the company said that it has been “unsuccessful to date in securing any significant external foundry customers” for its Intel Foundry contract chip manufacturing business. This includes the Intel 18A manufacturing node that recently entered production and was viewed as key to the comeback plan by former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger.
The company also said it “may pause or discontinue” development of Intel 14A—the successor to Intel 18A—and future leading-edge nodes if the company is “unable to secure a significant external customer” for the node, as it has yet to do.”
The admin is literally putting its foot down and saying “no, you can’t restructure your business in the way you need to.”

The other one jumped a fence - broad daylight - at a government building we were walking past when I said that at least the Estonian republic flag was the best of the Soviet flags. He walked over, hauled down the flag from the pole, jumped the fence, and handed it to me. Ummm. Visions of Big Trouble and expulsion in my head. No problem!
But mostly, I remember the hot blondes. After months in Leningrad, a hawt young female was something we just fondly remembered.

Never forget that "progressives" and leftists in North America and the UK loved Mussolini, Hitler, and Stalin, right up until the very minute that Hitler's army marched into Russian. Then, on word from Stalin, Hitler and Mussilini were the worst people ever. The Almanac Singers (with Pete Seeger) had just released an album of isolationist songs, and they wound up begging their fans to return them for an "improved" version calling for America to enter the war.

That right there needs to be repeated over and over. We're asking for actual repentance, and they won't do it. And there's plenty of people who have repented of their Kung Flu sins that have been forgiven, so the Clot Shot fanatics can't say that we won't forgive them if they repent. But they refuse to repent, probably out of pride.

The hate-filled rhetoric and demagoguery convinced me that his person is, as you say they are.
The craven manipulation, virtue signaling and the demand to take one for the team because birth rates are low is sickening.
The total jettisoning of Wisdom, the trivializing of sexual immorality. To pretend that adultery is not a death penalty sin in the thousands of years of different cultures that preceded the 1960s Western overthrow of traditional morals.
I'm sure there are people who have done things that result in them riding a wheel chair would like a redo.
My take is that each "Christ is King" man should evaluate the situation, consider the risks, the emotional toll and the sincerity of the hypothetical repentance, seek wise council, and pray.
Then forget this evil bastard that wrote this screed.

When you cannot keep the majority of your labor, cannot opt out without facing state violence, cannot choose how your extracted labor is used, and face increasing surveillance and restriction of movement—how far from the slavery end of the spectrum are we really?
The question isn’t whether we’re chattel slaves, but whether we’re close enough to that end to warrant the comparison.
...
The Invisible Shackles
The genius of contemporary slavery isn’t the whip, it’s the W-2. It’s not the chain, it’s the mortgage payment. It’s not the overseer with a gun, it’s the IRS agent with a lien.

I wouldn't call it heavy water by a long shot, it's just the isotope ratios are different. Besides D vs H, you've got the oxygen isotopes, O-16, -17, and -18 as well thrown in the mix.
Most comet water turns out to be quite different, which ruled out the theory that comet bombardment gave earth its water. Now, some comets do have earth-like water isotope ratios.
What will be interesting is any measurements of the interstellar 3I/Atlas water isotope ratios.

Girl two marks was out to dinner at a fancy restaurant with some friends in New York we made that very point. And everybody protested this wasn't true. So he said he would prove it to them.
He got up and went to the kitchen and worked out a deal with a waiter to bring out a birthday cake for one table and he not only brought out the cake but he sang Happy Birthday to them.
They tipped him.

It should be "Happy Nagasaki Day".
Decades ago I read that Japanese, being top notch engineers and scientists, quickly accertained that Hiroshima (Little Boy) was a uranium device and there could not be many more (and the bombing was on par with an effective conventional bombing raid), but Nagasaki / Fat Man was plutonium and once that threshold was reached many more, many many more, could be in the pipeline.
And the were in the pipeline. You could argue that they were not ready that day, but soon they would, and were.

The author's idea of forgiveness is that you are a bad person if you pretend the transgressions never occurred.
Except the transgressions that the OF whore did were against herself and against the Creator and for everyone she engaged in fornication. We are supposed to get involved with forgiveness when the transgressions are against us.
Should I forgive an antebellum slave holder? Am I required to forgive some aboriginal who said something mean to his spouse?
Clearly the author is completely incapable of distinguishing sin vs emotional/physical baggage. The dude that doesn't want to marry the VD ridden whore who still gets calls from her previous engagements just because she sings Amazing Grace isn't sinning - he is showing good judgement and the application of wisdom.

175 Fermi or somebody noticed that commercially available carbon had a lot of impurities making it unsuitable for as a moderator or whatever. They finally got that worked out.
But they insisted on secrecy, and not publishing this. The German scientists never figured that out, that’s why they were using “heavy water”, much more problematic.

The impurity was boron. Chemically has some similarity to carbon, so requires extra purification of the carbon.to get rid of it. Neutron absorber, ends the chain reaction at very low levels. The Germans never figured that out, just wrongly concluded that carbon was not a suitable moderator.

The routine beheadings happened outside of the Tower of London on Tower Hill. Only a few high-status prisoners got the chop within the walls. Anne Boleyn was a notable one. I think Margaret de la Pole was executed there as well, in a particularly grisly debacle that had the executioner chasing his mortally-wounded subject around the yard with his axe.

I have a very low tolerance at this point... I've been burned and lied to so many times, its scary. I will walk in a heartbeat now.
So am I damaged because I chose to have multiple partners... or am I damaged BECAUSE of said partners.

There's an ass for every seat. One day it will happen, it always does. At the same time you DO NOT want the potential right one to pay for the sins of the assholes before him. Trust me, we can smell it like a nice steak dinner. Rule one may be don't stick your dick in crazy, but rule 2, the one that never gets mentioned, is don't be the punching bag for the asshole that came before you. Its a balance, trying to protect yourself and not push a potential right dude away. Not easy, but its how it is.

Uncle is on Number Three. Somehow outlived the first two.
Turns out, Number Three was the mother of a big concert promoter in Texas, ummm, who died in car wreck, and Uncle found out after Number two passed that he was the father of Number Three's son, who was born before he even married before Number One.
High School reunions are the friends of widows.
THAT is the takeaway.

Didn't live in town but the P.O. was where the mail was.
It was so old the boxes were exactly like the old western movies.
A stack at the right end of the counter. The whole thing was wooden, pigeon holes with doors and all. Each small door had a knob in the center one would turn for the simple three point combination.
If mail was more than a fit it was under the counter and the Post Mistress would hand it to you. Not like everyone didn't know everyone.

Thanks, Whig! I did have a victory today in the mower department. Figured out why Dixon mower #1 wasn't charging its wee battery. The "voltage regulator" was kaput. Alternator coil was putting out 24 volts AC, regulator/rectifier was putting out zilch. I found a 50-amp bridge rectifier in my electronics junk, and wired that in. Bingo! 14 volts Dc at the battery when the engine is running. I got a swack of mowing done, too.

So Number Three marrying your Uncle was part of her redemption arc? Just when was your Uncle informed of his putative paternity?
As has been said here often, usually in jest, but not in this case, "I don't get it."

Assault is the apprehension in an intended victim of contact. They're going to have to find someone to testify that they thought they were going to be hit by a giant green dildo.

Assault is just a threat.
Saying "I'm gonna kick you in the nuts!" is assault.
Kicking you in the nuts is battery.
Whether a thrown dildo would be assault is a question for the judge, but of course the prosecutor is gonna ram through all the charges he can.
If the kid had put more arc on the dildo, he'd probably have an FAA airspace violation to answer for, too.

Robert Bolt probably wrote one of the most brilliant plays in the history of theater. It makes quite a movie as well. I'd dare say that the world is somewhat a better place for displaying Bolt's play.
So, yeah, I'm not going to care too much about what Bolt's exact political orientation was.
And Scofield is just flawless in the lead role (which he also played on stage).

Somebody mentioned the 3-body problem a few threads ago, I got interested in the latest work on this. So far, there are 20 known periodic solutions to this. Most of these are unstable, the slightest perturbation (bump) would send rambling off chaotically, but here's post with a little video of those 20 known ones:
https://tinyurl.com/2dcoxqn5
The Figure-8 one, known as Chenciner-Montgomery solution, is interesting. It is stable to perturbations. Here's a video of a planet trajectory put into a figure-8 solution of 3 solar mass stars. Note the chaotic nature of the planet's "orbit" if you can call it that:

I have no doubts there are copycats, just look at Detroit and octopi.
But the WNBA product is so bad that even regular Joes see the insanity of asking for more money. The WNBA has never made a profit in over 20 years of operation. And now they are hell-bent on killing the goose who is laying golden eggs, Kaitlin Clark. The racism is also off the charts in the WNBA. The black girls think 'it's their sport' so who are these white interlopers?
The league is a joke and the dildos thrown onto the court is the icing on that lousy cake.

Are Stuwitz Berg — the face of Norway’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout — is dead. "Suddenly."
At just 54 years old, the senior official at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health died suddenly, with no cause of death disclosed.
This is the man who:
Led Norway's pandemic vaccination strategy Repeatedly appeared on TV assuring Norwegians the mRNA shots were “safe and effective”
Championed mass immunization throughout 2021–2022 Now he’s gone — unexpectedly.
And yet again, we are told nothing about:
His cause of death
His health status
Whether his passing could be related to the very products he promoted
FACT CHECK:
No official cause released
Colleagues "stunned"
Media offering tributes — but no questions
How many sudden deaths like this must occur before someone asks the obvious? Could there be a link to mRNA vaccines?

We don't want him in an International Court for crimes against the U.S. Just like El Chapo, no internatinal court for drug trafficking for him, either. I like the concept of 'you violate our laws you will be subject to our jusrisdiction'. Any international court is a joke, the sentences they hand out for serious mass-murdering dictators moreso.
El Chapo's in Supermax and he isn't very happy there, unlike a European country club prison. Maduro needs to join him there, though they'll never see each other. Gone for good. Unless another President Otto Penn takes over and trades an international arms dealer in Supermax, Victor Bout, for a WNBA player who brought drugs into Russia and was arrested. A great trade. Simply unbelievable. It took years to get Bout out of Russia, luring him with a great weapons deal.

In my opinion, the greatest game ever pitched was between the San Francisco Giants and Milwaukee Braves on July 2, 1963.
Forty-two-year-old Warren Spahn and 25-year-old Juan Marichal each went 16 innings and the game ended 1-0 on a home run by Willie Mays.
Each pitcher threw over 200 pitches. Spahn threw 201 and Marichal 227. There were seven future Hall of Fame players in that game, including Spahn and Marichal.
We will never see that again because the game won’t allow it. But both guys were prepared to go as long as it took. And this game was not a fluke; both pitchers won 20 games that season.
For Spahn, it was his 13th 20-win season and for Marichal, it was his first of 6.
My highest pitch count was 232 in a game against the Red Sox in 1974. I pitched 12 innings, struck out 19, walked 10, and had a no decision. My counter-part, Luis Tiant threw 180 pitches in 14 1/3 innings and took the loss 4-3.
We were on a 4-man rotation and pitched on 3 day’s rest.
I had 26 complete games in 1973 and 1974 and didn’t even lead the league. Gaylord Perry had 29 in 1973 and Ferguson Jenkins had 29 in 1974."

That's one of the reasons I am no longer interested in baseball. A pitching duel is a joy to behold. At the second Yankee Stadium in the early '80s, I saw Palmer vs. Guidry. No Home Run Derby in that game.

That is not what the stats say. It IS what CNN says, and the various MD associations. I suppose we should first define what "autism" is.
I know, howabout numbers of children unable to communicate freely, use the toilet abd bathe independently, and eventually hold a job to live independently? I wonder if that number has gone up in the last years?
I wonder if the number has gone up in Vietnam, where there are not special funds set aside for the autistic, and there is a huge Asian bias against special needs kids?

Ugh: Gina Carano Settles With the Disney Groomer Corporation
Update: Carano Posts Brief Statement
Elon Musk backed Gina Carano's lawsuit against Disney for firing her because they didn't like her "politics" -- her "politics" being only that she did not bow to the Pedro-Pascal-fueled trans mob demanding she post her pronouns as if she were a tranny, and did not like the left's constant demands to hate thy neighbor -- and for defaming her, claiming that her post about the Nazis' early propaganda efforts to make people turn on an "internal enemy." Disney falsey claimed this "demeaned" people's "religion."
That's just a straight-up lie. She analogized the modern left to the Nazis. They didn't want to dispute that -- it's hard to dispute -- so they just created a defamation out of nothing and claimed she was fired for trafficking in antisemitic slurs. All because they didn't want to admit the real reasons for firing her -- 1, she was known to lean Republican, and 2, because the trannies and troons demanded her head and Disney did not want to admit that the precious transgenders were behind it all, or that Disney is now simply a transgender corporation. I had thought, wrongly, that this suit would expose Disney's corrupt behavior because Musk was funding it for political/ideological reasons. I didn't think Carano would just settle and bury the matter. But that's what's happened.Lucasfilm and the Walt Disney Company have reached a mutual agreement in their legal dispute with Gina Carano following her firing from "The Mandalorian." A Lucasfilm spokesperson said in a statement provided to Variety, "The Walt Disney Company and Lucasfilm are pleased to announce that we have reached an agreement with Gina Carano to resolve the issues in her pending lawsuit against the companies. Ms. Carano was always well respected by her directors, co-stars, and staff, and she worked hard to perfect her craft while treating her colleagues with kindness and respect. With this lawsuit concluded, we look forward to identifying opportunities to work together with Ms. Carano in the near future."Sure.
Carano was fired from "The Mandalorian" in 2021 after sharing several controversial social media posts, including one that compared being a Republican to being Jewish during the Holocaust.Actually Jews were never mentioned, and, not to be pedantic, but Jews weren't the only Internal Enemies the Nazis demonized.
She was also dropped as a client by UTA at the time. In 2024, Carano filed suit in California federal court alleging wrongful termination and discrimination, as well as a demand that the court should force Lucasfilm to recast her and pay at least $75,000 in punitive damages. Disney's lawyers filed a motion in April 2024 to throw out the lawsuit, arguing that it had a First Amendment right to fire the actor, stating it has "a constitutional right not to associate its artistic expression with Carano's speech." Carano fired back in a post on X, writing, "Disney has confirmed what has been known all along, they will fire you if you say anything they disagree with, even if they have to MISREPRESENT, MALIGN, and MISCHARACTERIZE you to do it. They are now on record letting everyone who works for them know that Disney will take any chance they get to control what you say, what you think or they will attempt to destroy your career. Glad we cleared that up. The First Amendment does not allow Disney to wantonly DISCRIMINATE, which is what they have done in my case and frankly have now admitted they did. If you ever wanted to know what today's 'Disney values' are, they just told you."Carano hasn't discussed the settlement yet but she did obliquely reference it by tweeting "and the truth will set you free." Um, what truth? I don't see Disney disclosing anything or admitting anything. All they did was say that you were "well-respected." They did not even retract their previous slander of apologize for it. In cases like this, there's the matter of individual justice for the plaintiff and a farther-reaching justice that affects people beyond the named plaintiffs. And yes, of course, I want Carano to get paid off. I want justice for her. But I sure didn't want that justice for Gina to come with absolutely nothing else. So for all of this, all that happens is what people expected would happen before Elon Musk underwrote the lawsuit: Disney pays Gina Carano to go away and go quietly, and that's it. Everything else is covered up. I guess it proves that when the vicious communist left cancels you thoroughly and makes it impossible for you to work or earn any money in your profession, you'll eventually break and take their meager payoff. Everyone should continue boycotting Disney until they come clean about the evil they do. Many people are holding Disney to account through the boycott. The movie opened a bit weak and then suffered a big 67% drop in its second weekend. It now looks like it will struggle to beat the box office of the flopbuster Blacktain Ameriblack: So Close to Pride Month starring TGS funnyman Tracey Jordan. Their stupid Fantastic Four movie is admitted to be a flop, even by their most intense "journalist" shill advocates, and in fact is making less money that the flop that killed Fox's X-Man franchise.
The 20th Century Fox era of X-Men movies got an emotional send-off last year at the end of Deadpool & Wolverine. But fans will remember that, in 2019, the franchise was curb-stomped into oblivion by Dark Phoenix, the fourth installment of the reboot series that began with X-Men: First Class. The movie tanked commercially and with the critics, and is said to have lost the studio hundreds of millions of dollars just before Fox and its assets were sold to Disney. The X-Men will soon be introduced afresh in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the highest-grossing film franchise in history, just like the recently released The Fantastic Four: First Steps. The movie delivered a decent opening weekend haul but witnessed an unexpectedly hefty drop in its sophomore frame. To make matters worse, The Fantastic Four is underperforming in overseas markets, where it still trails Dark Phoenix.Both movies were remakes of a story just told a handful of years earlier. The X-Men already did the Dark Phoenix story, in a rushed way, in X-Men III Last Stand, and we've already seen the Fantastic Four square up against Galactus in the second Tim Story FF movie. (Around 2008, I think.) The only selling point to these way-too-early remakes was that they were considered to have been botched previously and so the new versions would be more "comics accurate." (That's why they gender-swapped Silver Surfer, doncha know.) Supposedly -- allegedly -- the Fantastic Four is supposed to be okay. Some say it's mid or meh, but that's an improvement over the most recent fare. Some are pointing out that if a bad movie fails, that's okay, because it was a bad movie. But if a supposedly "good" movie fails, that indicates that the public just isn't interested in what you're selling any longer, even if your "meh" movie looks like a relative success. Update: Carano's letter plugs Star Wars. I guess they might actually give her a small role.
Directed by Simon Kinberg, the longtime Fox hand who had worked on several of these films previously, Dark Phoenix grossed around $250 million worldwide on a reported budget of $200 million. It's sitting at a terrible 22% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the critics' consensus reads, "Dark Phoenix ends an era of the X-Men franchise by taking a second stab at adapting a classic comics arc -- with deeply disappointing results.
Gina Carano 🕯
@ginacarano I have come to an agreement with Disney/Lucasfilm @disney @Lucasfilm which I believe is the best outcome for all parties involved. I hope this brings some healing to the force. I want to extend my deepest most heartfelt gratitude to Elon Musk, @elonmusk
a man I've never met, who did this Good Samaritan deed for me in funding my lawsuit. Thank you Mr. Musk and @X for backing my case and asking for nothing in return. To my lawyers at @GSchaerr Schaerr|Jaffe who walked me through this unknown territory, thank you for your wisdom and guidance. I am humbled and grateful to God for His love and grace in this outcome. I'd like to thank you all for your unrelenting support throughout my life and career, you've been the heartbeat that has kept my story alive. I hope to make you proud. I am excited to flip the page and move onto the next chapter. My desires remain in the arts, which is where I hope you will join me. ♥️ Yes, I'm smiling. From my heart to yours,
Gina 1h

Everyone had the weirdly exact opinion about the movies.
Everyone liked Superman better and thought the movie was much more "fun" than the FF.
Aaaaand, they would probably watch Superman again when it streamed but not bother with the FF movie.
Not that anyone hated the FF movie, it was good in the same way a Big Mac is good. Adequate to task at hand but no more than that.

An attorney friend of mine explained to me that lawsuits happen when facts are in dispute. The law is clear, but not the circumstances of the case.
Once the facts are no longer in dispute, the case is done, and now you move to find a settlement.

In CA, if a defendant makes a settlement offer and the plaintiff declines it, if the eventual judgement amount is less than the declined offer, the plaintiff has to pay the defendant's legal bills incurred after the date the settlement was declined.

With the growing specter of artificial intelligence looming larger by the day into the lives of skin-bag carbon-based, soul-privileged humans, we are becoming increasingly uncomfortable with the concept of sharing our existence with automatons. And in response to this incursion, intolerance is rearing up, and more examples of exclusionary activity are being seen as an undercurrent of segregation is welling.
One indication of this respiratory supremacy is found in the language. I am here to warn you readers that you should never use the term “Clankers” towards any automated entity.

I turned it off after the Harker character (here, "Hutter" or something) meets Orloch (Dracula).
Orloch appears, immediately, to be Satan. There is no veneer. There is no attempt to affect a gentle appearance. He doesn't appear like Gary Oldman in the 90s Dracula, a frail old man, weird but harmless.
No, this Dracula is just Satan, and not Satan hiding his true nature. This is Satan just being Satan with no pretense.
I'm not saying that's a mistake. The movie goes for an overthetop, melodramatic, everything-is-elevated-to-the-tenth degree vibe.
But seriously it's kind of hard to watch this guy try to do a land deal with someone who is obviously Satan and will kill you.

For a sci-fi movie about distance, they are terrible about it.
1) It starts with the ship being damaged as it passes through an asteroid field. Dumb. IRL, you'd never know you were in an asteroid field; they're 10 of thousands to hundreds of thousand miles apart. Star Wars was stupid drama and they just wanted a space "car chase" scene.
2) they give some stupid number that's supposed to sound really big as to how far they are from Earth. Something like 2.3 trillion km. Except ... that's barely a lightyear away.
3) But then, they're like, we can send a rescue signal to Earth that will get there in 6 months. You mean, half a light year?
4) toward the end, he's told he's 0.05 km away from his destination. That's less than 100 yards. But, it's shown him turning around and he's unable to see it.
Space is really, really fucking big and the human mind cannot conceive it.

Everyone liked Superman better and thought the movie was much more "fun" than the FF.
Aaaaand, they would probably watch Superman again when it streamed but not bother with the FF movie.
Not that anyone hated the FF movie, it was good in the same way a Big Mac is good. Adequate to task at hand but no more than that.

Yeah, Disney's politics are almost beside the point. I hate what Disney has on offer. Maybe I hate what they have on offer in part because of the dumb, offensive politics of Disney. But I really don't need any more Star Wars, for example, ever no matter what. It has sucked for too long to be redeemed.
And while I wish Gina Carino no ill, I also don't care about her much either. No appeal there at all.

On the other hand, Pedro literally just called people nazis on Twitter because he didn't like their politics.
It was his tweets that undermine the Holocaust, by just claiming everyone right of Stalin is a Nazi (and we've seen so many make the same claim that everything is bad as the Holocaust, without any repercussions)
I'm guessing she knew she'd never win, and Disney and their paid for judges would allow Disney's internal communications to stay hidden. It could also be that Musk is stepping back and no longer funding the suit.
She should have found a way to drag his pedo-ass in to this, because it definitely seems like collusion.

I wish I'd turned it off at this point. Bill Skarsgard's delivery is so painfully slow, it's like that old bit from Night Court. You know where he's going long before he gets there.
And the whole movie kinda plays out that way. If you know the story, you're stuck in second gear, always waiting for the next plot point to drop, for something to happen.
It really never earns 2:20:00 worth of the viewers' time.

Saw it and liked it. Wasn't the greatest movie ever, but much MUCH better than I expected, and better than Disney has done in years.
Silver surfer being a chick -annoying, but it kinda sorta made sense in the story. Galactus wants Franklin Ricards in exchange for sparing the Earth. The female silver surfer made the same deal to save her child and planet. The idea was to have the two situations parallel.
Loved the retro future stuff. Casting was good to great.

Legally it seems like the right move. Damages would be hard to prove (did she lose money because she was publicly fired or does she not get new gigs because shes a bad actress? What expert witness could possibly testify to this?) and also - political views are not a protected class. So what is her legal basis for a lawsuit in the first place?
And you never know what judge or jury youll end up with even if you have a rock solid case (which I dont think she does.)
This was always about politics / PR.
Settling for presumably good money and an agreement to unblack ball her seems like a smart move.

It was spread out over a few different issues and titles, if I recall correctly.

It's a shame they haven't been able to translate it to the screen effectively because it's a good story overall.
The story lends itself to a longer format, so Marvel should've tried making a series or limited series out of it and it might have worked better.

I agree. She probably got near to what she was asking. Disney lost the dismissal (the hail Mary pass). They really didn't want to go through discovery. What little reputation they have would have been lost.
Based on the Disney announcement, they have to look like they are playing nice.
Since this was a California court case, she would have trial risk given general political leanings of a potential jury and judicial system.

Same with many other games. The setting and backdrop is there. All you need is a few good character and plot writers, and you could make bank, I believe. But there is no talent in Hollywood anymore.

Probably because the Redbox that used to be near the front entrance of stores I go to is no longer there. I'd stop and see what's new weekly and rent a couple even if they were crappy.
Not going to pay $5 a month (or whatever) for some studios streaming service for a bunch of shit I never heard of and I am not going further out of my way to see what the new movies are than glancing at a Redbox that happens to be where I have to go anyway.
But I rented movies then. Haven't rented a single movie since Redbox collapsed.

The scene where he picks up the bad guy? Joe Rogan talks about it. Evidently, Kevin said something along the lines of, "Hold on a minute," and proceeds to pick up the guy playing his opponent more than once, before they put the lifting rig or whatever it was on the actor.

Jesus, Ace. Calm down. Nobody said you owe them your money or that the movie will make your life better. Is that why you go to the f*cking movies? I said it's a great movie with a positive message, which it is.
What movie do you consider "real art"? Lay it on us. I guarantee you it was likely made by someone who would hate you, or you would hate. Remember Top Gun: Maverick, a nostalgia-fueled Star Wars ripoff with a DEI cast (a young latina woman ace fighter pilot? Sure) starring a literal cult member? Conservatives were allowed to like that one. I guess we can forget about Tom Cruise's Scientology nuttiness as long as he doesn't mention it in his movies. Like TG:M, Fantastic Four is an extremely well-made movie without a hint of wokeness unless you're really looking for it.

I forgot what actor was talking about this, but in acting school people regularly rip off Oldman for a scene.
He was doing a scene with a guy partner, and he said "Hey, you're doing Oldman, aren't you?" And it was funny because he was kind of doing Oldman from State of Grace.
He's a phenomenal actor.

Terrific: Lizzo Now Weighs In on the Sydney Sweeney Jeans Ad
Yes, I agree, I cannot believe this non-story is still going after more than two weeks, either.
Lizzo does not have great jeans.Lizzo is calling out Sydney Sweeney's controversial American Eagle jeans ad in a new song.Can we retire the ugly, trashy phrase "calling out?"
On Wednesday, the four-time Grammy winner released two clips from a track on social media that name-dropped Sweeney and referenced the viral ad. In one video snippet for "I'm Goin' In Till October" (below), Lizzo is clad in torn denim while hosing down a Porsche and raps, "No kizzy, he ain't got no business being with me. Fat ass pretty face with the titties. Bitch, I got good jeans like I'm Sydney." (Or perhaps that should be "genes"?). In the second video, Lizzo opens with a clip of a cable news pundit doing a celebratory rant about the Sweeney ad, declaring, "We're over this woke agenda. We are over the Lizzos, we are over the Dylan Mulvaneys. If this were a 300-pound non-binary person they would be applauding her." Then the video cuts to Lizzo lounging in head-to-toe denim, similar to the Sweeney ad. Lizzo commented on the video, "Lizzo's got good jeans." The messaging could be seen as a push-back on the Sweeney ad. But it could also be taken as a positive for the American Eagle campaign. The company tried to make the point in a statement on the controversy last week that the marketing effort was meant to be inclusive, and Lizzo adopting the "great jeans" tag for herself could be seen as a co-sign of it's intended message. As company put it in its statement, "We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone."Clips from those videos under the fold. People pointed out the the Sweeney Jeans/Genes homophonic pun (Homophonic? SO CLOSE TO PRIDE MONTH?) was actually just a straight replay of of an early 80s Brooke Shields ad for Calvin Klein jeans. She also made a pun about "survival of the fittest," fittest meaning "how well these jeans cling to your buttcrack." American Eagle continues to not back down.
Sydney Sweeney has great aim. And they continue profiting not just from the ad itself, but from their laudable decision to not bow to the woke lunatics. Her 2019 Instagram video of her shooting guns with a Hollywood gun trainer (I think he trained Keanu Reeves for John Wick) has gone viral.
Sydney Sweeney has impressed conservative admirers with her skills on the gun range after her American Eagle campaign caused controversy. The "Euphoria" actress' 2019 video of herself shooting targets with Taran Tactical Innovations has resurfaced after the firearms retailer reposted the footage on Instagram Saturday, splicing it with a clip from her controversial denim ad. Sweeney's Instagram video -- which noted she was "training for a new project" -- attracted plenty of new comments of support from mostly male fans despite it being six years old. "3000% wifey material 👏🎉💯😮😍😂," one comment reads. Footage of Sydney Sweeney shooting targets at a gun range from 2019 has attracted many new admirers after her controversial American Eagle jeans campaign. SydneyAnother video that's gone wild features her replacing the brake-pads on her fastback Mustang. For some reason, Lizzo decided she wasn't getting enough attention so she did her own "jeans ad."
"Strong, self thinking women are the sexiest! ❤️🇺🇸 Nice shooting Miss Sweeney!" another comment reads. "We love this valid American women... 🙌," another user wrote. On Taran Tactical Innovations' video, more netizens expressed their love for her. "I am a new fan of Sydney. I hope she doesn't cave to the cancel culture mob!" one user wrote. "Make America hot again 🇺🇸🦅🔥," another comment reads.

Sydney Sweeney caused a digital kerfuffle with her “good jeans” ad campaign with American Eagle, but it’s actually not crybaby liberals who are hopelessly obsessing over Sweeney's jeans, genes, body, and politics — it’s Republicans and Fox News.

It is interesting how many "persons of color" we have telling us how hard it is to be a person of color that don't actually look like a person of color.
I'm reminded of Sparkle Farkle complaining about something similiar where, TBH, I had no idea she was "black" until that point as I know plenty of "white" people darker then her.

I assume part of what is driving the news coverage of this story from the right, left, and everywhere is that it is an excuse to show an attractive woman to get eyeballs.
It is similiar to how if you look at the magazines in your grocery store checkout aisle:
Women's health/fashion/beauty magazines all usually have attractive women on the cover
AND
Men's health/fashion/lifestyle magazines all usually have attractive women on the cover (just standing with a man)

Well, while we're at it, why not just throw "woke" on the list. Woke is the past tense of wake. It is not an adjective. That would be "awakened."
And, as I understand it, "woke" in adjective form first originated in "black slang." It was pilfered by the leftist wine moms.

I had already given up on the Epstein thing; i had some small hope Trump would be able to get something out but that failing to happen wasn't a huge surprise. The people involved with this kind of thing aren't going to suffer any penalties.

I've been saying for a long while that the most important tell on Epstein is the treatment he got back in 2008. Palm Beach PD had him nailed. The feds step in and remove the charges involving minors without explanation. They give him a NPA (Non-Prosecution Agreement on Fed charges) and don't tell the victims. Then he gets work release with no records to show if he complied. That was his recruitment right there. Epstein had nothing to negotiate with, and got a sweetheart deal.

Ran back inside to show her. She had a fit.... ironed patches on the knees and threatened murder if we made holes in them. Fun times.

I think the players demean the league more by asking for more money than how they play. They are paid accordingly.
Most of you play VERY average basketball, even in women's standards.
You do NOT deserve 7 figure salaries. If you can gain it via endorsements, more power to ya. But, you're not good at your day job, STFU about the salary you're paid for it.

CNN Whines That Trump's Energy Secretary Is Reviewing and Possibly Correcting Previous Absurd Claims About "Global Warming"
A long time ago, a commenter or coblogger -- Dave in Texas? The Warden? Empire of Jeff? -- mused:
There must be some unknown force causing our planet to become warmer. This hypothetical unknown force would have to be large, however -- on an order of magnitude equal to our own Sun.The Babylon Bee echoes this 20 year old joke:
Eat dirt. We're not playing games with your remorseless communists any longer. EPA head Lee Zeldin tried to explain the actual science to CNN's bubble-headed wine aunt Kasie Hunt but she didn't want to hear it. He gives a clue to what's going on with revising previous "global warming" claims -- none of these dire predictions came to pass. Shall we let those false prophecies of doom stand forever, like religious writs, or should we look at the bad assumptions that caused them to miss the mark?
(CNN) -- Energy Sec. Chris Wright said Tuesday night the Trump administration is updating the National Climate Assessments that have been previously published, which the administration recently removed from government websites. "We're reviewing them, and we will come out with updated reports on those and with comments on those reports," Wright told CNN's Kaitlan Collins in an interview on "The Source." Wright dismissed the past reports, saying "they weren't fair in broad-based assessments of climate change." "When you get into departments and look at stuff that's there and you find stuff that's objectionable, you want to fix it," he said. Energy spokesperson Andrea Woods said, "The National Climate Reports are published by NOAA, not DOE. He was not suggesting he personally would be altering past reports." The interagency process and publication is overseen by the US Global Change Research Program, which was established by Congress. ... The first Trump administration signed off on and released the Fourth US National Climate Assessment in 2018, although it attempted to bury the report's news by releasing it on Black Friday. The current administration has deleted all previous reports from government websites, fired the scientists working on the next iteration of the report, and recently issued a separate report compiled by five researchers that questioned the severity of climate change. Altering or revising previously published assessments would be a significant escalation in the administration's attempts to wipe credible climate science off the record.
Lee Zeldin left a CNN host staring blankly for nearly two minutes on Monday as he took her apart regarding a recent proposal at the EPA. As the interview started, host Kasie Hunt dumped an attempted gotcha question on the EPA administrator, asking him if he accepts the "overwhelming scientific consensus" that greenhouse gas emissions drive "man-made climate change." That was in the context of a recent announcement that the Trump administration will revoke a 2009 endangerment finding that led to the implementation of stringent regulations. Zeldin clearly came prepared, because he peppered Hunt with facts, and for once, a CNN host couldn't come up with a reason to interrupt a Republican.More at the link, including the video. Speaking of previous climate alarmist prophecies of doom not panning out: 43 years ago, Dan Rather confidently proclaimed that 25% of Florida would be under water by now.Whenever you speak to any left-winger (as all CNN hosts are) about this topic, you have to understand that climate change is a religious deity to them. It doesn't matter how many decades we've gone without the worst-case predictions coming true. Climate change is a position of faith for these people, and that means they shift the data to meet their preconceived outcome. If new data arises showing climate change isn't the level of threat they claimed it to be, and thus policies should be changed, they brush that off as "denialism."
HUNT: Do you accept the overwhelming scientific consensus that these greenhouse gas emissions are the biggest drivers of man-made climate change? ZELDIN: Well, it's great to be on with you. First, it's worth pointing out that all eight or so images that you just posted on the screen have nothing to do with this week's announcement. What the 2009 endangerment finding had to do with was with regards to mobile sources, vehicles. This week's proposal to rescind the 2009 endangerment finding was with regards to mobile sources, vehicles. CNN has been using a lot of photos where they show smoke stacks of stationary sources like power plants. That's not what we proposed. Now, going back to 2009, the science that they were reviewing included both optimistic to pessimistic scenarios. To reach the 2009 endangerment finding, they relied on the most pessimistic views of the science. The great news is that a lot of the pessimistic views of the science in 2009 that was being assumed ended up not panning out. Hey, that's great, we can rely on 2025 facts as opposed to 2009 bad assumptions.
A CBS News report by Dan Rather warns that if we don’t stop digging up ancient carbon and burning it, 25% of Florida will be underwater.

Very odd and specific phrasing. If she -- or the staffer that wrote it -- is talking specifically about "man made" climate change (not natural climate change), then she is probably correct that greenhouse gasses are the biggest drivers. But that is meaningless because "man made" climate change is negligible at most.

There is no scientifically tested and proven "greenhouse" effect.
It is all hypothesis and computer models.
Not one single actual, real-world observation of cause and effect has confirmed any part of it.
The closest they can come is citing to ... Venus.
Which is millions of miles closer to the Sun, has a day near a year long, and has a concentration of atmospheric sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide that are thousands of times higher than is even possible on Earth.

Not according to Google AI:
>>>In online discussions, the phrase "if only global warming equal to the Sun" is often used to convey the idea that if changes in the Sun's activity were the sole cause of observed global warming, it might be a simpler problem, according to The Conversation. However, scientific evidence strongly refutes this notion.
>>>While the Sun is the Earth's primary source of energy, and its output does fluctuate slightly in regular cycles (like the 11-year sunspot cycle), these fluctuations are too small to explain the rapid and significant global warming observed in recent decades. As stated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (.gov), satellite measurements since 1978 show no net increase in the Sun's energy output during the period of the most rapid global warming. In fact, solar activity has shown a slight cooling trend since the mid-20th century, even as global temperatures have continued to rise.
Now you know the reason for the push for "AI."

Another of my little theories:
It has been noted before that there is a "God shaped hole" in many people's lives, and they fill it with this nonsense. People call Leftism a religion. I think this is right, but not quite accurate -- it is not the faith or belief or higher power that they need, it is the ability to show superiority.
In the past, many religious people used religion and their devotion to show they were superior to others ("holier than thou.") That is what humans need - a way to distinguish themselves and show the community they are virtuous. They often need this when they don't have other forms of value (wealth, beauty, skill,...) so they rely on abstractions and arcane knowledge of religion and their adherence to it.
That is what we are seeing -- the decline in religiosity has left many losers with no way to show how valuable they are to the community, so they latch on to this invented nonsense.
This is a subtle point, but I think an important one.

My hypothesis has long been it is a variation on the “Morgenthau Plan” for post-war Germany. Considered the proximate cause for two (2) horrific world wars, the idea was to reduce Germany to a pastoral state, without any industry, with which it is impossible to wage modern industrial war. The Soviet Union and the Cold War put those notions to rest.
But it sort of tracks the US post war decline, not just industry, electronics, textiles and manufacturing but chemical production, pharmaceuticals, logging, mining, and of course coal, oil, gas.
Of course no nation can be “independent” but the U.S.A. is pretty close, if it weren’t for saboteurs. Isolationism is a false choice, as is “free trade” and the wonderful benefits of millions of unvetted and unassimilable foreigners who are really just “sparks of divinity”.
Cockroaches and buzzards have standing. Americans do not. The “environmental” movement has been hijacked.

I can see right at this moment with my own eyes, and its even more obviuous if you go to Fort Point or out on he span and look more closely at the piers, that the water-level on the piers is EXACTLY AT THE SAME PLACE IT WAS WHEN IT WAD FIRST BUILT.
In other words, first-hand evidence tell my eyes that the sea-level rise in the last 90 years has been ZERO, or so small that it cannot be observed or measured.

Stuff like greenhouses that doubled the amount of CO2.
Every single one found that plants:
1) grew faster and bigger
2) produced larger fruit
3) used less water
Imagine the massive gains in food production, not just from current lands but by being able to expand the arable land?
More people fed at cheaper cost.
From that, I learned we should be doing all we can, if we care about humans and the human condition, to increase the amount of CO2 in the air.

The "emergency" allows progs to sacrifice formalities as needed.
That's why they pretend that they are nice, but they don't have to be nice to us: because we would create the second Holocaust. (Because we're Nazis). And we can't have that.
It's why they can punch people they call Nazis and feel that they aren't the violent ones--because we're Nazis, and everybody knows how violent the Nazis were.
You need the "special circumstance" which throws the rules out the window.
Trump is a "existential threat to our democracy", for example. So, if they were ever found to be cheating in 2020, "it was justified".
And until they are disillusioned by the cause, it's not like they are going to look to "Nazis" for confirmation. So, as long as they are convinced of what they tell themselves, they're good.

A different religion has a famous quote: "If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him." An interpretation of this isn't literal, but figurative. If you think you do know something, you're probably wrong. Clear your mind of what you think you know, and learn more.
If only those scientists had been dealt with back then, called out to the carpet and given a dressing down early on. Maybe actual environmental causes could take place, rather than performative signalling that makes everyone else worse off.
After all, if Climate was such an important thing, why isn't it working in places like Russia, China, and other countries that aren't in Western Europe or North America?

But you won't see that in the national news reports. If it's hotter than average somewhere and colder than average somewhere else, the media will only tell you about the hotter than average place.
Similar, if it's warmer near the surface but actually clder at higher levels in the atmosphere (which often happens), they on; tell you that the atmosphere overall top-to-bottom is colder than average-- they'll only discus the surface level.
And on and on it goes -- the bias is unending;

1) you observe a phenomenon
2) you form a hypothesis that might explain said phenomenon
3) you devise careful tests to determine whether your hypothesis is fully consistent with existing measurements, and accurately predicts new measurements if variables are changed
4) if it doesn't match, you junk the hypothesis and go back to step 2
The "global warming" lunatics never bother with step 4. As someone noted above, it's a religion, not a science -- a sect of the evil cult religion called Marxism.

The problem with AI right now is that the experts find it mildly useful but that is because they know roughly or exactly the correct answer but it can serve as a memory tickler or saving on drudgery.
Non experts trust what AI tells you as fact. I notice legal errors all the time in AI summaries of cases that I know--in both inventing fake cases or citations and summarization of the reasoning in specific cases.
Right now, a problem with the AI industry is that their models go insane so they have to keep retraining them from scratch--thus the insane power and computing projections needed by the near future to advance AI models.
Eventually, you run out of data to train them especially in rare edge cases and then they just make up shit.

I got interested in this and have been looking at the IERS daily updates. I think the speed-up has maxed out. They predict about 90 days out, and then less accurate 1 year predictions. The current short term have slowed down from May predictions. At any rate, the mean mean solar day for 2025 is predicted to be about 10ms faster than 24 hours.
Shortest so far was 2022, which averaged 25ms shorter.
And speaking of the sun, something I didn't know is one of the longer period terms in the dance of polar motion and nutation and length of day correlates with the 11 yr solar cycle.

Yeah the first lesson is you have to be very precise in doing your algorithm, because it isn't going to try and guess what you mean. In college there was a compiler like that, and it was a disaster since its guesses were bad and you had 10000 errors pretty soon after due to its bad guessing.

It is the same as the Wikipedia problem. In the first instance, there is not much profit (politically or economically) to monkey with the likely most correct answer. Thus, the answer can be considered more trustworthy.
In the second instance, there is nothing by profit to be gained, and so you get a highly biased answer, which conforms to whomever's biases of those who control the platform.

First, it is a draw for investment dollars for VCs to think they are investing in cutting edge that is going to "do so much and have so many applications in the future".
Right now, it's a loss if you don't suggest that you have some foot in the AI door. So all the IT companies are doing it.
Secondly, the government is possibly driving AI to spy on you as you tell it all sorts of personal facts about yourself.
It's like that meme about Alexa: "Hi, wiretap. You got any recipes for pancakes?"
The last is the Elites are looking for a tool they can claim makes better decisions than you do, so they can cut you out of the decision-making process. (So three)

There is no *closed form analytic solution* to the 3 body problem. They can be numerically integrated to high precision. For example JPL's current high precision solar system ephemeris is damned accurate.
Over the long term, the solar system is chaotic. The time there around 5 - 10 million years. After that, some gravitational butterfly flapping its wings now, could do anything, including a small chance of throwing the earth out of the solar system.

There are a few know analytic solutions of the 3-body problem in very specific circumstances (constraints on mass ratio and initial conditions).
On rather cool one is the "Figure 8" solution. 3 bodies of equal mass all following a closed figure 8 curve. This thing is stable to small perturbations, but the initial conditions and mass ratio constraints are so tight, it would be very unlikely for such a system to form naturally.

There actually IS a real AI technique. What they say it is now isn't it. But you can train a system to recognize letters, say, in certain fonts and it can recognize an A from other letters.
We were detecting the emptyness of trucks using X-ray images and finding shapes and densities inside, then grading the full vs empty of the results using trained AI. It could put its guess and the map on the picture as the trucks passed by the operator, in a second or two.

Carbon offsets were where your manufacturing company was calculated as to how much emissions it released on an annual basis. The companies were mandated by I think the UN or some other international group of men with funny hats to pay millions of dollars restitution and in turn trees were planted to produce oxygen and 'offset' the carbon 'footprint' of the company.

So they go to the person developing the next gen AI to fix the problem by making something smart enough to factor all the restraints. And to see if the AI could get out of control they mount it on a space platform with the most advanced tech, and attack it to see if they can always beat it.

Hyper Woke North Virginia School System Arranged and Paid for Abortions for Students, While Keeping Parents In the Dark
Glenn Youngkin needs to step in and assert state control over the vile Fairfax County school system.
Fairfax County borders on Loudoun County. The Loudoun County school system covered up not one but two sexual assaults by a "trans" student against girls. It's now being sued for $30 million for permitting girls to be raped like crazy. There is something evil in northern Virginia.The Fairfax County Public Schools system in Virginia has launched an investigation into accusations that school staff arranged abortions for students without notifying their parents, according to local reports.All of the finger-quotes for " " " investigation. " " " Mistakes were made. The policy was unclear. Let's fire the policy and keep the teachers involved in this. That's what they always say -- they refuse to fire any wrongdoers and just claim "the system," which cannot be fired and does not belong to the teachers union, is to blame.
Seems like the policy was pretty clear -- yes, school officials are ordered to help students get abortions and hide this from their parents.
School officials at Centreville High School in Union Hill allegedly arranged and bankrolled abortions for girls in 2021, including a 17-year-old, according to local news outlet WJLA. "We learned yesterday of these concerning allegations from 2021," FCPS said in a statement to the outlet on Wednesday. "We are launching an immediate and comprehensive investigation as we take all concerns of student wellbeing very seriously." Pressed on whether FCPS staff have ever arranged abortions for students, including in this case, the district said it was not aware of any instances of the sort. "Not to [our] knowledge. We have launched an immediate investigation into these concerns as soon as we were made aware," the district told WJLA. FCPS policy states that "every effort shall be made to encourage and support students suspecting pregnancy to discuss their concerns with their parents or guardians." However, it does not say FCPS employees should inform parents about those conversations.
This report makes it sound worse. It claims the school officials, including, of course, a "social worker" told students they "had to" get abortions.
According to an exclusive report from the local WC Dispatch, the allegations from two former Centreville High School students revealed that the same counselor at the school spirited away the girls to the Fairfax Healthcare Center. They allege that the school principal knew and arranged for tax money to pay for killing the babies without notifying parents. The girls were told "they had no choice" but to have the abortions. The 17-year-old girl who was five months pregnant was so frightened at the coercion that she ran away from the clinic and told a teacher. That teacher was subsequently ordered to keep quiet. The Dispatch reported how this apparent frightening and coercive abortion "pipeline" worked at Centreville High School. "A handwritten statement from [a student who went through with the abortion]...lays out how [social worker Carolina] Díaz scheduled the appointment, paid the clinic's fees, and swore her to secrecy," according to the Dispatch. It was all illegal, because "The girl, an 11th-grade ESOL student, says the abortion took place in November 2021--while she was still seventeen--making the concealment a straight-line violation of state law."

Most states have a sliding scale where younger people can sex up younger people if they are close in age. However it appears that Virginia makes it a felony to engage in "Carnal knowledge of a child between 13 and 15" resulting in 2-10 years in prison and a maximum fine of $100,000.
Practically speaking, I am guessing that if Johnny at 16 had sex with Sally at 15 most juries let them walk.

. . . .
Crockett is not often found at her government-provided suite in the Longworth House Office Building, with one insider saying she prefers to work from her nearby luxury apartment building, sometimes for weeks on end.
“She is laying around her apartment, won’t come into the office, and is really just indifferent to staff and will scream at them,” the former aide said.
A second source close to Crockett’s team added: “It is widely known that she’s not nice to staff and is just not a really dedicated member focused on constituents.”
“She is focused almost exclusively on being an influencer, not a member of Congress,” said a third source who has worked with Crockett, describing her as “all diva, no wow.”

I suspect this is a Chinese girl, a recent immigrant with her parents, who was abused by some pervert at the school. The story still doesn't make sense.

Fairfax County public schools, if Muslims are not included as White, are INCREDIBLY NON-WHITE, especially if you are non-disabled (most of the whites in the schools have IEPs, b/c public school is the only place to get paid disability services). Of the non-disabled whites in the area, most whites go to private school or homeschool.

To complete the ensemble, the vehicle had a vanity plate that said "FIFE" and a small bumper sticker that said "You gotta nip it in the bud". And a few police hats on the back shelf.

If a parent took an underage offspring to, say, cut off one of their legs, claiming it was because the child had the fantasy of being a pirate, I would think that would involve a huge prison sentence, too, for the parent and for the medical personnel involved.
Other than possibly California and maybe Oregon, I’m not aware of anywhere that child mutilation has been legalized.

Yet the left is doing everything it can to smear the right as the secret pedos.
The Epstein stuff the left is trying to tie the right to amuses me. But an Utah state senator just did something absolutely disgusting. He changed laws to protect an 18 year old relative of his that raped a 13 year old. The 18 year old should be tried as an adult; now with the revised law, since he was still in high school at the time of the rape, he's tried as a minor. Copped a plea deal and will face no jail time.
I first heart about that from Utah liberals, since the Utah republicans are refusing to touch the news story.
My solution: burn them ALL in flames, and send them all to the woodchipper! Just to be safe. It's the nonpartisan solution we can all get behind.

There were rumors of this happening in my town in the 70s. They also had an underground tunnel connecting a club to a house where it happened, the police involved and looking the other way, and girls getting knocked up and abortions.

It's not the sleaze you think it is. It's more of a morality tale. The girls are all conspicuously of legal age. The only real conflict arises from the lead girl's transformation from shy, awkward teenager to violent, greedy pimp trying to protect her prostitution business from rivals stealing her clients. I doubt that's the movie audiences expected to see.

How many people were ruined by kangaroo 'courts', led by the administrations? How many women claimed rape, despite any and all evidence to the contray, and the true victim was denied constitutional protections, even to offer a defence and said evidence?
The most recent examples have been the Jewish Pogroms on campuses. Literal laws were literally broken, along with many civil rights that were denied. And the suspects were given free reign, or a figurative slap on the wrist. Ones that ring hollow when the admins are visibly winking with a shit-eating grin when they say "Please don't do that again."
So, if these little nation-states are their own political entities... what happens if another group decides to go Breitbart on them? To quote: "Fuck you. War." And literally does so? Do they get conquered and taken over? And then can they force the National Guard to turn back, because "University!"?

Malachi 4:6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
That scripture has been weighing on my mind the past few years. Not just for abortions, but the enmity growing between all the generations. The shunning and ghosting of friends and family for differing political views. The stereotypical "boomer vs zoomer" debates dividing old and young. If we aren't well on the way to making the curse happen, it's already here.

The lesson should be: the elite snobs that frequent the adirondacks in the summer are the real trash. It's too bad the dancer didn't feel she could raise her baby, she had to abort it instead. Because there are always options. Her botched abortion made her miss out on the whole summer season anyway. Was it worth it?

Oh, BTW - so far I haven't seen much i like in the BBB. But apparently, it caused a $700m budget shortfall in CO due to a reduction in federal handouts for indigent State level Democrat funding schemes. Colorado still has a balanced budget amendment, so this has forced Polis to call an emergency legislative session to increase business taxes statewide to paper over the shortfall. Those tax increases will of course be permanent and further wound CO.

The top boys name in GBr has been Mohammed for how many years in a row????
Posted by: Wait wut at August 07, 2025 03:28 PM (3Jagb)
Those numbers can be a bit misleading in both directions. On the one hand the name has multiple spellings (Mohammed, Muhammed, etc) so aggregating them gives you an even higher count. On the other hand it's far and away the most popular Muslim boy's name so I think you have to stack it against some aggregate of other names to get an accurate picture.
I think in the end you still end up with a very significant statistic.

The Census Bureau Admits It Overcounted Democrat States and Delivered Them Five Extra Congressional Seats.
Trump Demands They Fix Their Error, Now.
Actually, until 2032, because the 2030 census's numbers won't be used for reapportionment of congressional seats until the following election in 2032.
Trump also wants illegal aliens excluded from the count, which is a heavier lift.
The Census Bureau should not even be using "statistical sampling" to guess at the population of states. The Constitution calls for, and I quote, "an actual Enumeration" in the census -- an actual physical counting. It does not permit "statistical sampling," which, whoopsie!, always gets things wrong in favor of the Democrat Party.
"I have instructed our Department of Commerce to immediately begin work on a new and highly accurate CENSUS based on modern day facts and figures and, importantly, using the results and information gained from the Presidential Election of 2024," Trump announced in a post on Truth Social. "People who are in our Country illegally WILL NOT BE COUNTED IN THE CENSUS. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" ... The 2020 Census, overseen by the Biden administration and its Deep State allies, was an unmitigated disaster -- and the fallout is still being felt. Even the Census Bureau itself -- hardly a bastion of conservative thought -- admitted that its 2020 Census was incorrect in at least 14 states. According to the Bureau's own Post-Enumeration Survey (PES), eight states were overcounted while six were undercounted. But here's where it gets truly absurd: The Census Bureau claims it can't identify which groups were miscounted or where the errors occurred, citing "sample sizes within most states do not support such estimates." Translation? They know it was wrong, but they can't -- or won't -- say how or where.
Whoops! Whoopsie!
This isn't just bureaucratic bungling; it's a dereliction of duty. And it's exactly why President Trump is right to call for a new, citizen-focused census. If the federal government can't even tell us who they miscounted or where, how can anyone trust the results? These weren't random clerical errors, either. They were systemic failures that just so happened to benefit Democrats. Florida was robbed of not one, but two congressional seats. Texas lost out on another. Meanwhile, blue states like Minnesota and Rhode Island held onto seats they should have lost -- and Colorado was gifted a seat it was never entitled to. The fix was in.

No guessing at the number of illegals. They have to be counted.
And each census worker on this detail will have an ICE agent assigned with him. If someone identifies as an illegal you immediately deport.
After a few cases of this illegals will not allow themselves to be counted.

There is another possible interpretation, Ace.
They could have applied statistical analysis to the *results* of the census and thus determined a high probability of error in the census, as opposed to using statistical analysis to *perform* the census. It's a tad ambiguous as written, and it could mean something other than your take on it.
Not that it matters. It's still a lie. They have the raw data, or they don't. Maybe Trump should instruct the DoJ to appoint a special prosecutor to look into the 2020 census and examine its records and paper trail.

Can't honestly say you didn't either, I suppose.
A lot of mental hooks in advertising is in your subconscious. You see a product as appealing with a hot babe or babes having fun, fawning over the guy using the product, and your subconscious tucks that away, even if you paid it no conscious mind.
Then you are standing in the grocery store, staring at a wall of beers, and you are drawn to a particular brand over another, you don't know why, and your conscious asks, "Why not?".

Sigh.
Every worthy organization, if it lasts long enough, eventually becomes a left-wing organization.
The latest example is FIRE (The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression), which for years fought the good fight against campus speech codes, and other campus-related restrictions on speech.
Guess what their two big issues are now?
First:
Arguing that foreigners here on student visas, other visas, and green cards have a Constitutional free-speech right to support terrorist organizations, and that the US government can't deport them or take other actions in response to their support of terrorist organizations.
In the view of FIRE, if you can't deport US citizens for supporting Hamas, Hezbollah, or ISIS, then you can't deport someone here on a student visa for supporting Hamas, Hezbollah, or ISIS.
Madness.
Their other Big Issue is defending Harvard and other antisemitic institutions, arguing that the Trump Administration can't cut off funding to them, just because they are Jew-hating cesspools.
Harvard has "free speech" rights, you see.

It worked its way in because the Constitution said the Census should be of all "Persons' not all citizens. Of course this was worded this way because of slavery, but it never got addressed.

don't most undocumented immigrants avoid being recorded in the census?
The Census Bureau uses statistical models to estimate those who do not respond including non citizens. It can't be an exact count now because of nonresponse but the final census count comes as close as possible
considering how Trump really BLEW it for the last census... it was really one of his major fuck-ups, once you get past the way he bungled Covid.
It looks like his new strategy is to get the Commerce Dept to find all the illegal immigrants so they can report them to ICE, or scare them off so they aren't counted to hurt Blue states.
Exactly. If they aren't counted, Blue state counts go down causing less congressional seats. Besides the fact they will have more info to give to ICE. Either way they always have nefarious ulterior motives.
This Pew analysis from 2020 shows California, Texas & Florida would lose 1 seat each and Alabama, Ohio & Minnesota would gain 1 seat each if immigrants were removed.

No guessing at the number of illegals. They have to be counted.
And each census worker on this detail will have an ICE agent assigned with him. If someone identifies as an illegal you immediately deport.
After a few cases of this illegals will not allow themselves to be counted.

You name it, the Democrat party has leveraged an unfair gain. Republicans "get ahead" purely by accident.
It would seem only the legitimate, brute force of Trump and his team have pushed back with any determination that which DC has controlled and handed to the DNC for generations. Trump did that after getting screwed 10 ways to Sunday by the Bipartisan Borg.

Any damn fool knows this is bullshit and always has been. Americans have been screaming bloody murder for 50 years on this nonsense. A “Citizen” is a Chump now. They’ve elevated non-citizens as superior. It is absurd. The founders would have been stackin’ bodies by now jus’ sayin’.
They pull outrageous shit on America, and then call anyone who is outraged an “Extremist”. It is dirty pool of the worst sort, and illegal as hell.

But when it comes to the word "persons" everyone is suddenly a textualist.
BTW, the census is a massive grift where millions of worthless Dem scum are hired and overpaid to forge documents. We should have them do something useful like paint our sheds or clean out the garage if they are going to just make up numbers anyway.

This deserves charges against the offending parties. Let's not forget that if you misrepresent yourself on the Census you are introduced to Title 13, United States Code, Section 221 & False Statements Act (18 U.S.C. Section 1001). This can include a $5,000 fine. The latter can include fines and prison time.
Purposeful Misrepresentation: The law focuses on willfully providing false information, implying intent to deceive. That's what was done by the Census Bureau. What's good for the goose is good for the political partisan career hacks.

“Trumpism is a kind of gender performance. It’s about shoring up a traditional, misogynistic, dominance-obsessed ideal of ‘masculinity’ against social progress, about restoring straight cis white men to their traditional place at the head of the family and the top of the world. Attacks on trans people, who supposedly threaten ‘masculinity’ by existing, are very much a part of that effort.”

In short, the pressure for men to be “manly” is crippling society, but at the same time, no one actually knows what it means to be a “real man.” Such is the subject of an in-depth exploration of masculinity by journalist Jude Ellison S. Doyle, a trans man who posits that we must look toward trans folks to start shifting the way society sees gender roles.

None of this even needs to be automated. Computers are mostly irrelevant. Each geographic region has to be divided down into parcels small enough that they can be counted by humans.
This is same for voting. Divide it down to get a number you like. Make it one block in the cities, or one sq. mile in the country. Or bigger or smaller, it doesn't matter. Then count.
Add up hierarchically until you have it done.
Elections should be precincts that can be hand counted. Then a public tally which is easy for locals to verify and easy to detect fraud.

That's the dumbest thing possible. Inconsistent counting across states used to determine percentage of federal power apportioned to that state?

I saw a place where they were trying to get data from IT department #1 by reading the CRT screen physically and dumping it into a PC database (borland's one, forget the name). They had an issue with missing data on import, and the manager had to spend a good chunk of Saturday's manually getting the missing ones. I found out that there was a special file or record for garbled import records and she could from that either re-read only those records or enter them manually.

Baker vs Carr was decided in 1962, significantly impacting Congressional Redistricting.
Someone should compare urban-area population counts vs Congressional apportionment by party victory to see just how far back Dem-favoring apportionment had gone.

Illegals are here, illegally. They are not permeant residents. Ergo they should have no bearing on representation in congress. Why should they count...for anything?

Nah, make Puerto Rico a state, along with Aberta and Saskatchewan. As to DC - give all portions of the district with HOUSES back to the state from which it was taken in the first place. The Capital should be mostly public parks and buildings, with few residences.
People forget - The land was originally ceded to the federal government by Virginia and Maryland in 1790. After moving through various stages of federal and state approval, the Virginia portion was returned in March 1847.
There is a history to giving the land back to the states.
