Ex-Staffer: Katie Potatey Focused on the Quiet, Shy Staffers for Bullying and Humiliation

Psychopaths develop a skill for choosing victims.

I'm talking about Katie Porter but I heard someone, I think one of the guys on the Ruthless podcast, call this gourd-shaped monstrosity "Katie Potatey" and that's the only name I'll use for her going forward.

I will also correct the NYPost, which erroneously refers to Katie Potatey as "Katie Porter."

Katie Potatey targeted 'softer spoken' underlings for abuse, was 'downright mean', ex-staffer warns voters
By Chadwick Moore
Katie Potatey was exposed for berating a staffer and throwing a tantrum during an interview in two video clips this week.
And the California governor candidate is even worse when cameras aren't rolling, one ex-staffer told The Post Friday.
One of the lawyer and politician's cruelest tactics is dehumanizing her young underlings by referring to them in the third person -- while in their presence.
"It was easier for her to do these things to the quieter ones, the more soft-spoken ones, who wouldn't be like, 'hey, that's not okay,' " Sasha Georgiades, a former Wounded Warrior Fellow and Navy veteran who served in Porter's office from 2020--2022, told The Post.
"Going after the people you think aren't going to fight back -- I think it speaks a lot about a person's nature when they do that.
"Especially in arena like politics, which you're here to serve people. Actually, you're here to serve those quiet people more, at least that's my viewpoint on it," she added.
...
Georgiades described a Jekyll and Hyde boss, never knowing which Katie would show up.
"If anything went wrong, she would flip on a dime," Georgiades said, recalling one incident where her young team had setup a Facebook video shoot but picky Potatey didn't like what they had done.
"She's talking to me while the other girl is in the room, telling me, 'I don't even know why she's here. I can do this job better than her.' And this is, like, very inappropriate. The girl's in the room with us," Georgiades said.
"It is dehumanizing and it's demoralizing. It makes you question: why am I even doing this?" Georgiades reflected.
In July 2022, Georgiades released text messages with Potatey exposing her shockingly toxic work environment. Potatey and Georgiades had both tested positive for COVID-19 after attending an in-person staff meeting. Porter then sent angry text messages blaming the asymptomatic Georgiades for infecting her--and then fired her.
Potatey's campaign didn't immediately return The Post's request for comment.

The explosive former congresswoman was also accused of having a short fuse by her ex-husband, with whom she has three children, who described in a restraining order how she had once allegedly dumped steaming mashed potatoes on his head and had chastised him with swear words in front of their kids.

Oh! So maybe that's why Ruthless called her Katie Potatey. I assumed it was just due to her figure, which resembles a sack of spuds with a gland issue.

Below, Katie Potatey speculates about Trump's "demise," fantasizing about him having a heart attack.

Katie Potatey, maybe you should worry about your own cardiovascular health.

Or don't. Healthy at any size!

California produces crazy politicians. Katie Porter running for Governor continues that tradition.

“Soon Trump will lose, or go to prison, or I don’t know, have a heart attack. I don’t know what his demise is going to be, but he’ll have his demise”

50 Willowed from previous thread:

Just watched the live press conference to announce the new presidency for the LDS church. No surprise, it's Dallin H. Oaks, since he was next in line for seniority. But now it's official.

He was a judge in his old day job, it's kind of comforting to have someone understanding law to lead the church when it feels like the law gets shredded every day.

Liberal LDS friends of mine have expressed concerns that of all the leaders of the LDS church, Oaks is one of the most conservative. Some of them hope the conservative old guard die off and the younger, more liberal members of the 12 can be prophet one day. I think they want changes to women's roles and LGBT policy. Oaks won't change that an inch, he'll keep it the same.

"I'm a better speechwriter than my speechwriters," he'd say.

"Most of my job is removing the "uhs" and "ums" out of the Lightbringer's speeches, and it's a 24/7 gig," a speechwriter with a spine would say in reply.

The fuckups & fools like Obama & Potatey are useless & worthless humans who offer nothing but ruin & stupidity, yet fealty is hurled upon them by starry eyed retards and I cannot understand why.

Half of the Democrat coalition mebbe as much as 60 percent are gimmedats. They don't care about what happens as long as they get their gimmes. That is the urban core of the Democrat party. The other 40-50 percent are the batshit crazy progressives aka leftists. These are the ones with high SES status (socio economic status) and from which Democrat pols come from.

Trump is trying to offer the gimmedats willing to work a better deal by employment by keeping out illegals and other wage depressing tactics used by the cheap labor lobby.

Not true actually. You can pay $30 bucks or if you have a microsoft outlook/hotmail/etc account let Windows 10 set the system backup to Azure. Both get you another year of support for egregious security fixes. The other free method is to have racked up some Microsoft points by buying their software etc.

FWIW, anyone needing to update older windows machines Legacy Update has accumulated all the fixes and updates for old windows versions and archived them there. Recently used it to revive some old XP systems that have software and data I might need in the near future.

There are also several browsers one can use and even an antivirus (Panda) that works for really old machines. At some point, Microsoft malware/antivirus simply cannot update virus signatures because there is none for old systems. Panda and a few other antiviruses keep that from popping up. Hitman and a few other malware programs also work for XP.

Won't get security fixes nor virus/malware updates if you use the Microsux built in programs.

See above or PCMag website (also probably PC World) for free alternatives or pay $30 bucks to Microsoft to keeping Windows 10 with security fixes for another year.

If your malware or antivirus is not Microsoft, relax, it will continue to work. But new security flaws in Win 10 will eventually mean either use safe browsing (some browser addins for some security software) or being very choosy about which websites one peruses. I also would not use it long term for ecommerce or particularly ebanking.

Only Apple phones do that shit due to battery issues according to Apple.

Microsux just quits providing security and/or driver updates. I have old systems to run bygone and expensive programs ranging from Win 98, XP, Windows 7, and 8.1 downstairs. They run well enough with their old programs designed for them and even webbrowsing with a safe webbrowser is okay experience.

Legacy Update webpage has all Microsux updates for XP to Windows 8.1 archived there and an active X scanner to determine and download which ones you are lacking up to the last official update. Won't help on malware/antivirus updates as older versions like XP SP3 antivirus can't accept newer Microsux antivirus updates.

Also FWIW, ClamAV has a live version that one can use via an USB that will check systems as well but does not have a resident component on the OS.

Exactly. My new philosophy: if the Republican voters wouldn’t give a fuck if their person did it, I won’t give a fuck neither. I’m done with standards.

People will have bad days, make bad decisions and have personality flaws. We can still stand for good ideas and values with people who aren’t perfect.

I appreciate the fact that the left remains steadfast in continuing to criticize their own. But over petty stupid shit like this? No. This is dumb.

I like Ms. Porter and I don't honestly know how she behaves "behind the scenes." What I am growing tired of is every Democrat woman who runs for office eventually being labeled as "nasty, vindictive, sarcastic, out of control, angry."

It’s going viral because she’s one of the few democrat voices speaking against big business, also lesser extent vagina but yall don’t wanna hear about that

What? She literally fumbled a standard campaign question and freaked out. It's political communication 101 and she shit the bed.

This race doesn't go to the polls until next year, but it's still interesting to see Democrats flailing even in the bluest of blue states.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul retains just a five percentage-point lead against potential 2026 Republican challenger Elise Stefanik -- and loses that advantage when likely voters first hear about both candidates' records, according to a new internal poll.
Stefanik trails behind Hochul, 48% to 43%, on an initial ballot but narrowly beats the incumbent Democrat, 46.4% to 45.9%, when voters leaning toward voting in the 2026 race hear about the governor endorsing New York City mayoral front-runner and socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani, the poll found, among other issues.
If Mamdani wins Gracie Mansion, up to 47% of independent voters also said they'd be less likely to vote for Hochul or other Democrats up and down the ballot in the midterms.
The survey, paid for by Stefanik's leadership fundraising committee E-PAC, showed likely gubernatorial voters also downgraded Hochul for her record on supporting bail reform in New York and other cost-of-living concerns.
Hochul's job performance rating is also underwater, 56% to 39%, and at least half of the likely voters polled strongly disapprove of the Democrat.

Meanwhile, just 34% of the likely voters said as of this month they were ready to re-elect Hochul, while 59% said it was time for someone new.
Pollster Landon Wall, of the firm Grayhouse, said his survey of 1,250 likely 2026 midterm voters reveals Hochul is in a "deeply vulnerable position."

In New Jersey, Jack Ciattarelli is tied with the sinking cheater and swindler Mikie Sherril. (Ignore Scott Pressler's typo about Ciatterelli being the governor of Pennsylvania.)

Trump-endorsed Jack Ciattarelli crushed Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill in the NJ Gubernatorial debate:

This is a team effort.

New Jersey, I ask for your vote for Jack Ciattarelli for governor.

Please consider voting early in-person on October 25th.

🚨 BREAKING: Kansas Republican lawmakers have just officially GREENLIT a special session to draw out the last remaining Democrat Congressional district ahead of the 2026 midterms
That'll be a solid +1 for GOP.

The gist of it is that the Navy honor code does not require ratting people out, so her claim that she was punished for that is BS. It makes a clear case that she cheated on the test (or lied to investigators, which is maybe worse?) and should have been thrown out.

74 North Carolina was one of the Red states that got submarined by the previously left leaning NC Supreme Court. Just like Pennsylvania, the Democrats (through the NC Supreme Court) pulled in a political hack professor from Stanford University (Nathaniel Persily) to gerrymander the state in the Democrat's favor. Back then they got away with it because the NC Supreme Court was left leaning.

However, today the Republican are the majority on the NC SC by a total of 5 to 2. That's why NC is going to fix the districts.

101 Trafalgar Group has always been about delivering good news to republicans to keep them motivated. They are not a serious polling operation.

I have a hard time believing people will vote Dem Dem Republican. I think the risk here is people leaving AG blank. That might or might not be enough to matter.

Same poll only has Spanberger winning by 2.5%. It’s a poll that can be thrown in the garbage as an insane outlier (or deliberate misinformation).

Seara is a lost cause. Even Trump wrote her off already. Mostly because she’s a woman of color and an immigrant.

Democrats are still expected to play chess by the rules and with impeccable decorum, meanwhile Republicans have been actively eating all the enemy pieces and pissing on the board before beating their chests in victory. And if a progressive does anything less than politely clap with a "amazing display, my good sir/madam. Now I shall painstakingly wash your urine from this board so we may play again" then suddenly it's an unforgivable sin.

Hostages, government finances, and army condition also played a part in it. Israeli media and Netanyahu's political rivals emphasized his 10/7 failures plus failing to recover hostages.

Government finances and Israeli economy was suffering from war spending and a reserve army like Israel eventually runs into issues on extended deployments with employers, troops, politics, and other issues.

Other Israelis demanding ultra Orthodox be drafted was another internal political problem because Bibi made a deal to their political parties to not do that. If he reneged, they considered dropping out of the coalition and requiring new elections or a minority government.

And a high casualty urban war that risked serious damage to Israeli reputation worldwide was a risk that ultimately Bibi and his Cabinet were unwilling to take.

__________________________

Here's an interesting take on that which conceivably holds water. We rarely see two female candidates go head to head in a debate. There are usually male candidates mixed in. BUT, when you have a one on one with two female candidates the behavior is different. If one is truly angry at the other (and Sears initiated it by not letting Spanberger catch a breath on the Jay Jones endorsement and everything attached to that)....Spanberger resorted to a typical female response. Refusing to acknowledge the other party, and refusal to interact. It was, almost, instinctual....and I'll be Spanberger's husband is very familiar with that behavior.

153 State polling is much more difficult than national polling due to the requirements to have the same sample size for comparable accuracy but then having to weight it for the state rather than national characteristics.

Instead, watch where the national party funds and national candidates like Ted Cruz, etc. as surrogates go. At this point, it is up to turnout rather than polls anyway. A good campaign organization with solid messaging and a focus on turnout gains about 5 percent of the vote over its opponent on average. That is enough in close races as Youngkin can demonstrate.

Probably some blue-haired mutant who read Debates for Dummies. It is a real debate strategy to ignore your opponent as if they weren't there. But it will never work for a political debate, where the audience expects the candidates to engage and argue with each other (because that's what politicians do).

I really enjoy the "I'm telling you, what we haven't tried yet is to promise more free stuff."

My favorite example of how deep the Blue Bubble is, is the lament that working class doesn't know how good they had it under Biden, who offered them ... student loan forgiveness.

Basically, the whole the Democrat Party now is "my personal greed is the cure for what ails the Party."

State laws. All local government is subject to control by states absent specific state constitutional provisions. In legal terms, local governments are creatures of the state government that can let them live or die according to state law. That is why sovereignty only applies to states, Indian reservations and the federal government. Local government is not recognized as having sovereignty.

251 Just watched the live press conference to announce the new presidency for the LDS church. No surprise, it's Dallin H. Oaks, since he was next in line for seniority. But now it's official.

He was a judge in his old day job, it's kind of comforting to have someone understanding law to lead the church when it feels like the law gets shredded every day.

Liberal LDS friends of mine have expressed concerns that of all the leaders of the LDS church, Oaks is one of the most conservative. Some of them hope the conservative old guard die off and the younger, more liberal members of the 12 can be prophet one day. I think they want changes to women's roles and LGBT policy. Oaks won't change that an inch, he'll keep it the same.

The Niece Living at Big Tish's Mortgage-Fraud Scam-Pad Is, Get This, a Criminal Fugitive

Big Tish has a family of criminals. Including a criminal absconder.

Lock. Her. Up.

The tenant living in the Virginia house at the center of New York Attorney General Letitia James's federal indictment is a 'fugitive' from justice, the Daily Mail can exclusively reveal.
James has reportedly allowed her grandniece Nakia Thompson - along with Thompson's three children - to live in the three-bedroom property in Norfolk since 2020.
Now, in an embarrassing twist for Donald Trump's nemesis, Daily Mail has discovered that Thompson is officially listed as an 'absconder' who is being sought by authorities in North Carolina for failing to finish her probation.
'Ms Thompson was sentenced to probation for misdemeanor convictions for assault and battery and trespassing, and has willfully avoided probation supervision,' Keith Acree, communications director for the North Carolina Department of Corrections told Daily Mail.
'An absconder is considered a fugitive,' Acree added. 'Thompson faces arrest if she is located in North Carolina.' He said her crimes of assault and trespass are considered 'non-extraditable' due to their low level.
The 36-year-old told a grand jury in June that she had been living rent-free at James's home -- now valued at $235,000 -- since the Attorney General bought it, claiming that James pays for even basic upkeep, the New York Times reported.
...
On the NCDC website is an appeal for information leading to Thompson's whereabouts, along with a mugshot and an offender number -- 0898340.
During her time at New York state's top prosecutor, James has championed her work bringing fugitives to justice, including the extradition from Pakistan of a Medicaid fraud ringleader.
...
When approached by Daily Mail, Thompson simply said 'no comment', before bizarrely adding that she was 'very much in college, and very much a graduate'.
Before moving to James's home in 2020 -- which the prosecutor had purchased for $109,000 -- Thompson had a string of brushes with the law in Virginia and North Carolina, records show.
In 2005 she was placed on probation in Forsyth County, North Carolina, for simple assault, and the following year was handed a suspended sentence for two counts of assault against a government official, according to NCDC.

Letitia James’s felon fugitive nieces living in her mortgage fraud home, wanted for Grand Larceny, Burglary and Abuse of Child. While Letitia is a prosecutor who should have been prosecuting herself and evidently her whole family. https://t.co/ku566flT0S
— Mike Benz (@MikeBenzCyber) October 14, 2025

CNN's ugly newsreader offers a defense of Big Tish that no Democrat has ever offered before:

Say it with me: "Everybody does it."

Even CNN admits that Letitia James committed mortgage fraud, but shouldn’t be charged because everybody does it.

21 Everybody does it and, yet, she prosecuted Trump for it.

Either request that the conviction be thrown out, repay Trump for the money he spent on his defense, and convince all governments who make fraud a crime to make it legal, or face the punishment.

It should be noted by CNN, however, that most people don't have one mortgage let alone two (or more) and, therefore, everybody doesn't do it.

49 I posted this earlier in JJ's thread:

Every single mortgage document that Letitia James signed over the last 42 years had falsified information, this was not a 'one-off - according to forensic accountant Sam Antar.
Antar, a retired forensic accountant known for his meticulous unraveling of financial puzzles, claimed that this is no isolated slip-up but part of a larger history of alleged misconduct.
Antar, who stumbled upon these inconsistencies while reviewing public filings, stressed his non-partisan approach, "I'm not part of this tit-for-tat with Trump or anything like that."
This isn't a complicated case. It's as plain as day."
James purchased a Virginia property in 2008 but failed to report its mortgage in her 2021 and 2022 financial disclosures to New York State. Suddenly, in 2023, two mortgages appeared—totaling more than twice the property's value—raising immediate red flags.

50 @Grok check the mortgages of all CNN employees for fraud...

Posted by: Thatch at October 14, 2025 01:33 PM (kSxbf)

51 The mortgage clause specified the home as a second primary residence, however James's tax returns showed she didn't spend any time in the home, and claimed rental income.
This allowed her lower residential interest rates and insurance costs, while she never informed the bank of its commercial use.
Beyond the indicted Virginia home, Antar flagged two other properties—one on Sterling Drive in Virginia and another in Brooklyn—as potential sites of similar fraud.
The Brooklyn building, certified for five units, was allegedly financed and insured as a smaller four-unit residential property, dodging higher commercial rates.
In 2020, during the purchase, James reported income from the property in her disclosures. But from 2021 through 2024, that income vanished from records—potentially understating her finances to state overseers.

73 The terms "absconder" and "scofflaw" have distinct meanings and contexts:

Absconder: Refers to someone who has been released from custody but has failed to comply with the terms of their release, often leading to their disappearance. This term is used in legal contexts to describe individuals who have absconded from their place of confinement or duty.

Scofflaw: Refers to individuals who habitually ignore or fail to comply with minor laws or regulations, often resulting in fines, tickets, or court orders. The term "scofflaw" is used to describe a pattern of noncompliance with legal obligations, which can lead to increased scrutiny and harsher penalties for future infractions.

Understanding the nuances between these terms is crucial for legal and societal contexts, as they highlight issues of compliance with legal obligations and reflect broader societal attitudes toward authority and governance.

91 Article I read earlier paints how this isn't just a single fraudulent document but a continuing pattern of fraud and illegality.

Not just the application fraud, and the falsely obtaining a lower interest rate, but in her financial disclosures--failing to disclose the rental income.
And the on-going insurance fraud; lower rate for primary resident vs. rental.

I like how they tried to gin up another "Saturday Night Massacre" (do they have anything other than the Watergate playbook?) by falsely leaking that the USAA said there was insufficient evidence to prosecute, knowing she was about to be fired--"Trump fired her for refusing to follow his illegal demands!"

As Kurt Schlicter notes, they were desperate to stop her prosecution because it is the end of the Old Rules.
And we're playing by the New Rules, the ones they wanted.

"By reducing the maximum pumping speed from 10 gpm to 3 gpm, we could increase the minimum time to fill up a half-ton Ford F-150’s 36 gallon fuel tank (yes, really) from under four minutes to nearly twelve (12).

Well, it is a crap idea. And you are basically cutting service station owners' cash flow by a factor of four.

In the unlikely event that such a stupid rule was adopted, I would add 3 more filler necks to my gas tank, and fill from 4 pumps at a time.

164 By reducing the maximum pumping speed from 10 gpm to 3 gpm, we could increase the minimum time to fill up a half-ton Ford F-150’s 36 gallon fuel tank (yes, really) from under four minutes to nearly twelve (12). Factor in the longer wait times ICE-vehicles would have to endure waiting in line to refuel, as well, and we’re talking about a 20-30 minute turnaround time to go from just 10% to a usable 80-or-90% fill."

166 Remember, much of the force of feminine power is the threat of the consequences.
Example: If you don't accede to my wishes, I'll spread rumors about you and ruin your reputation.

But, the threat is always worse than the actual result. And that's what it counts on, your fear of the horrible possibility overwhelming you.

Here: the threat of "we'll go after Republicans if you go after Democrats" is that type.
Especially the unspoken threat that coordinated media outrage would drive massive public outrage.

And then it was done.
And the media has tried, oh how they have tried.
And all the threatened dire results have faded into nothing.

I think a great move would be for DJT to schedule a Columbus celebration at Madison Square Garden, preferably before this year's election. Even just announcing a MSG celebration for this year would have impact. And it would be fun to watch.

251 Lefty solution for making EVs more competitive? Slow down gas pumps:

"By reducing the maximum pumping speed from 10 gpm to 3 gpm, we could increase the minimum time to fill up a half-ton Ford F-150’s 36 gallon fuel tank (yes, really) from under four minutes to nearly twelve (12). Factor in the longer wait times ICE-vehicles would have to endure waiting in line to refuel, as well, and we’re talking about a 20-30 minute turnaround time to go from just 10% to a usable 80-or-90% fill."

Low-IQ Narcisist and Epic Failure Joe Biden Wants Credit for Trump's Success In the Middle East

Joe Biden is a corrupt demented fool who has always fancied himself a foreign policy genius. No matter how stupid his plans were, and how often they failed, he clinged to the old fart fantasy that he was a world-class Machiavel.

On Friday, Politico reported that Biden's staffers had "mixed feelings" about the Trump Team's winning of the hostages' freedom. They claim they were happy they were to be released.

But, more importantly, they were spiteful that Trump had accomplished what they failed to achieve.

And as usual, you can ignore everything before the "but."

As the world hopes for the remaining Israeli hostages to soon return home from Gaza, one group has bittersweet feelings about President DONALD TRUMP's progress toward ending the Israel-Hamas war.
Biden administration officials are thrilled that a ceasefire is taking hold and that the hostages will be freed. But they also have a bit of sour grapes -- arguing that they laid the groundwork for Trump's effort and that he could have executed on it much earlier.
Trump, some noted, took office in January with a ceasefire in place, but the truce collapsed and Trump spent months doing little as Gaza sunk into further despair.
As one Biden administration official put it, Trump "inherited a ceasefire that fell apart due to a lack of U.S. engagement, allowed Israel to implement a strategy of starvation, got dragged into the war with Iran and ultimately started to exert leverage only after the botched strike in Qatar last month." The bottom line? "It's good that he came around," the former official said. "But it's a tragedy that it took so long."
Some former aides to President JOE BIDEN are suggesting Trump's 20-point plan may be built off a blueprint they left behind, but the Trump team has made no such admission. Former Secretary of State ANTONY BLINKEN alluded to this in a recent podcast, saying of the much-ballyhooed Trump 20-point plan: "This is essentially the plan that we developed over many months and more or less left in a drawer for the incoming administration, and I'm very, very glad they picked it up."
...
Some former Biden officials, including senior aides to the president and vice president, have been soul-searching in recent months about whether they could have done more to stop the war. But NatSec Daily didn't get any sense that the Biden administration officials were embarrassed or jealous that it was Trump and not them who finally imposed this settlement.
"'Jealous' isn't the right word," a second former Biden administration official said, adding that there's a sense that "because Trump is depraved most of the time, when he does something he's supposed to do he gets more credit than he deserves."

Politico is really claiming that this shows no signs of embarrassment or jealousy.

Deep State Operative and author of the "51 Intelligence Officials" psyop Anthony Blinken claims that Trump merely extended the ceasefire that he and Biden already achieved.

On X, Biden -- who is undergoing treatment for cancer -- said that he was "deeply grateful and relieved" that the Gaza war is approaching its end.
"The road to this deal was not easy," the Democrat wrote. "My Administration worked relentlessly to bring hostages home, get relief to Palestinian civilians, and end the war."
But Biden also gave Trump credit for getting "a renewed ceasefire deal over the finish line."

LOL. Biden brought the ball 90 yards to the 1-yard line and Trump merely punched it over the goal-line, huh?

"Now, with the backing of the United States and the world, the Middle East is on a path to peace that I hope endures and a future for Israelis and Palestinians alike with equal measures of peace, dignity, and safety," he concluded.
On Monday, Blinken said Trump's 20-point peace plan for the Gaza Strip was based on one developed by the Biden administration.
In a lengthy post on X, Blinken, who served in the Biden administration, outlined how Trump was able to secure the peace agreement. He noted that Arab states and Turkey have said "enough" to Hamas, and said the response also showed that other Iran-backed groups -- Hezbollah and Yemen's Houthi rebels -- were not coming to Hamas' aid.
"It starts with a clear and comprehensive post-conflict plan for Gaza," Blinken wrote. "It's good that President Trump adopted and built on the plan the Biden administration developed after months of discussion with Arab partners, Israel and the Palestinian Authority."

Blinken said the Biden administration briefly secured a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in January, resulting in the release of 135 hostages before the deal fell apart.
He also questioned how Trump could secure a permanent peace plan.

Biden thinks he deserves credit because of his "plan" for peace. This plan for peace being, we should have a peace plan.

Wow, what a foreign policy genius.

But that's like a football coach saying that his plan for a victory is that he thinks his team should wind up with more points than the other team.

Via Ed Morrissey, the WSJ reports that Trump's plan was a touch more developed than that. Since his inauguration, Trump has begged and bullied and bought off all of Hamas' supporters, diplomatically isolating Hamas, and getting even its backers in Qatar to tell it to take this deal or else we're done with you and you're on your own.

Egypt and Qatar told Hayya the deal was his last chance to end the war, according to the officials. They pressed Hamas to understand that holding the hostages was becoming a strategic liability, giving Israel a source of legitimacy to keep fighting.
The next day, joined by Turkey, they warned him that if Hamas didn't approve the plan it would be stripped of all political and diplomatic cover; Qatar and Turkey would no longer host the group's political leadership, and Egypt would stop pressing for Hamas to have a say in Gaza's postwar governance, the officials said.
It was enough to get Hamas to agree to release all its hostages in Gaza and sign on to the first part of Trump's peace deal, giving up what had been its most important bargaining chip to keep a seat at the table. While modifying its acceptance with heavy caveats that reflected its concerns about the deal, Hamas had given Trump an opportunity to declare victory and set the stage for a hostage release early this week.

Trump's plan: Isolate Hamas and bully its patrons into forcing it to take the deal

Biden's "Plan:" Draw up a list of "Nice to Have" wants

Now that Trump has succeeded where Biden -- plot twist -- failed constantly, Biden thinks he's owed credit for Trump's success.

Joe Biden has praised Donald Trump for his success in negotiating a peace deal which allowed the 20 remaining Hamas survivors to return home.
But he also tried to take some credit for the monumental deal, claiming his administration had laid the groundwork for Trump to negotiate.
'The road to this deal was not easy. My Administration worked relentlessly to bring hostages home, get relief to Palestinian civilians, and end the war,' Biden said in a statement to X on Monday.
...

Supporters gathered in the streets to celebrate their hostages coming home
Trump has been hailed a hero in Israel as Israelis celebrate the release of the hostages

He later addressed a peace summit with global leaders where he called for a new era of harmony in the Middle East.
'We have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to put the old feuds and bitter hatreds behind us,' Trump said, and he urged leaders 'to declare that our future will not be ruled by the fights of generations past.'
The whirlwind trip, which included the summit in Egypt and a speech at the Knesset in Jerusalem earlier in the day, comes at a fragile moment of hope for ending two years of war between Israel and Hamas.
'Everybody said it's not possible to do. And it's going to happen. And it is happening before your very eyes,' Trump said alongside Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi.
Nearly three dozen countries, including some from Europe and the Middle East, were represented at the summit. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was invited but declined, with his office saying it was too close to a Jewish holiday.
Trump promised to help rebuild Gaza, and he urged Palestinians to 'turn forever from the path of terror and violence.'
'After tremendous pain and death and hardship,' he said, 'now is the time to concentrate on building their people up instead of trying to tear Israel down.'

Israelis have little doubts about whether it is Biden and Blinken or Trump, Rubio, and Witikof who deserve credit:

Israeli lawmakers chanted Trump's name and gave him standing ovation after standing ovation. Some people in the audience wore red hats that resembled his "Make America Great Again" caps, although these versions said "Trump, The Peace President."

And Trump blasted Biden and Obama for their failures and weakness:

But Trump also took the opportunity to lay blame on former Democratic presidents for their failure to stabilize the region.
'All of the countries in the Middle East that could have what we're doing now, it could have happened a long time ago, but it was strangled and set back almost irretrievably by the administrations of Barack Obama and then Joe Biden,' Trump said.
'There was a hatred towards Israel.'
'Nobody asked Joe Biden to come up and speak, I guarantee you that,' he added.

Even this graceless, charmless hag realized that it is self-defeating (and self-revealing) to attempt to deny credit to Team Trump:

Trump's former presidential competitor Hillary Clinton also praised the deal at the weekend.
'It's a really significant first step and I really commend Trump and his administration,' Clinton said on CBS News.

On the other hand, there's America's First Homosexual President, the graceless Kenyan Muslim Obama.

He refused to even mention Trump in noting the hostage deal. Even CNN's low-IQ shill Abby Philip thought this was petty, even by the low, base standards of the narcissistic homosexual Obama.

Even this ABC "News" shill gets it:

Curtis Houck
@CurtisHouck
ABC's James Longman on this historic day in world history:
"I think today what I've been mostly struck by is Donald Trump's sheer force of personality. There are not many men, not many leaders who can walk into the Knesset in Israel to such rapturous applause, such a warm welcome to clearly know so many members of the Israeli leadership so personally. He's been in the weeds on this and then, less than an hour later, appear in a room of world leaders, Arab and Muslim leaders and have the same kind of warm welcome. It really is his force of nature which has managed to make this happen. I mean, I was struck that he was standing on that stage here in Sharm el-Sheikh, welcoming world leader after world leader, many of whom he's had his disagreements with, as we know. And it wasn't President Sisi of Egypt doing that. It was him. He is front and center here. It's his force of will. He has said what he wants to happen. He's laid out this 20-point plan. The objectives are very clear. And of course, the big question is how we get there."

But Biden deserves credit for Trump's force of personality, huh? (As well as the very, very high-level team he's put into place.)

Even the degenerate webzine Time gets it:

The President of Pakistan praised Trump effusively not for bringing peace to Israel but for brokering the peace between the nuclear-armed enemies of Pakistan and India.

Here's a compilation of some lefties, all of whom claim they wanted a ceasefire, experiencing butthurt over Trump securing a ceasefire.

From Rita Panahi, more butthurt mixed in with some crow-eating from TDS lefties.

This low-IQ porkchop is ratchet as ever:

Trump's vision:

Overton
@overton_news
Oct 13
Truly a goosebumps moment.
President Trump closes his historic Knesset address with a vision that left the entire chamber on its feet.
Before the applause thundered through the Knesset, he gave Israel--and the world--a glimpse of what lasting peace could look like.
"So now we're going to forge a future that is worthy of our heritage. We're going to build a legacy that all the people of this region can be proud of."
"New bonds of friendship, cooperation and commerce will join Tel Aviv to Dubai, Haifa to Beirut, Jerusalem to Damascus, and from Israel to Egypt, from Saudi Arabia to Qatar, from India to Pakistan, from Indonesia to Iraq, from Syria to Bahrain, Turkey to Jordan, the United Arab Emirates to Oman and Armenia to Azerbaijan."
"Another war that I just settled."
"We are going to have hope, harmony, opportunity and happiness here in the spiritual and geographic center of the entire world. That's what you are."
"Israel, America, and all of the nations of the Middle East will soon be safer, stronger, greater, and more prosperous than ever before."
"Thank you very much. God bless you. God bless the United States of America and God bless the Middle East."
The President of the United States, speaking peace into a region once defined by endless war.
Historic.

Meanwhile, the degenerate communists of the media and Democrat Party (but I repeat myself) insist that Trump is in the grips of a Biden-like physical and mental decline...

2 One of the last things Biden said as president was that no matter what happened under Trump, it was because of Biden's policies.

It didn't matter if Trump changed policies, ended old policies, or implemented new policies.

Biden was responsible for what was going to happen under Trump.

Almost like whoever was writing for him knew that Trump was going to do well.

38 What truly angers me is not this 3rd Grader type logic that Biden should receive his "due credit" for the end result. No, what absolutely enrages me is that the Biden Administration MADE OCT. 7TH POSSIBLE!!!

In Trump's first term he cut off the US taxpayer money flow to Gaza due to their abuse of it's purpose. Immediately (we're talking the first few weeks) upon Biden acquiring the Presidency, he re-installed those funds and increased them. This financed the Oct. 7th event, to say nothing of the $Billions gifted to Iran, and sanction removal by Obama and then Biden.

We should be talking about Biden in the same sentence as a Middle East Peace Deal. We should be talking about him (and Blinken) in discussions of the contributing causes of 10/7.

45 Even r/Destiny is giving Trump credit?!?!??

I know its literally the bare minimum, but Trump enacted the Biden plan that was in a drawer. It makes no difference who thought of it, it only matters whose gonna carry it out and enforce it.

Biden tried to get a ceasefire many times, the two sides wouldn’t agree. Trump also tried and failed for the past 9 months until eventually they were ready to agree to a deal.

It came out later that Biden’s admin was lying the whole time and never tried to get a ceasefire. So if anything it just makes Biden look weaker in retrospect.

All the adults in the room know Trump and his team are too inept to pull off this deal and know what really happened: a peace deal was drafted by Blinken and brokered by the Qataris. They're letting him claim the W to humor him, knowing that a flattered Trump is a more malleable Trump.

The hard part wasn’t writing the vague and open ended plan. The hard part was getting Netanyahu to believe he couldn’t just find a way to expel all the Palestinians from Gaza.

It may be the same deal (or ‘essentially’ the same, whatever that means), but the difference is Trump got it done.

2. Charlie Kirk is he Norman Vincent Peale (Trump's childhood Pastor and also the famous book "The Power Of Positive Thinking" ) of his generation; and

3. While Charlie insisted that Wall Street would do well and be fine -- The 2nd Trump Administration needed to focus on resurrecting Main Street in America (also a passion of Sundance's at The Conservative Treehouse blog).

Never in the cards unless you kill or remove all Gazans. We faced the same problem in the Cold War, endless proxy warfare costing thousands of American lives along the periphery because we could not get at the focus of the evil--the Soviet Union.

This is just what narcissists do: credit stealing. Parents do it, bosses do it. You achieve something as a kid, it's "well, you should be thanking your (mother/father) because (something they did/were/imagined doing or being)," not "hey congratulations, great job!" You achieve something at work, your boss just outright steals it and presents it as his/her own, or gaslights everyone around them into thinking it's because of their leadership acumen/close oversight/practically handing you your success.

The destruction of Iran's nuclear facilities led to this deal and was one of the most important political-military events of the past 30 years. For decades, we'd be hearing about the fearsome power of Iran and it's looming nuclear capability. Obama was so impressed he paid Iran tribute and protection money. Trump (with Israel's help and cooperation) obliterated Iran's nuke program like he was brushing lint off his shirt. The world took notice.

77 I hope Trump’s plan for peace works. I have my doubts it will over the long term. My preference was to wholly eliminate Hamas on the battlefield.

I think the bulk of them are dead, and all their former leadership. Their resources have been obliterated as well, and as the sidebar notes, they're actually fighting against other groups in the palestinian areas. I would have preferred they were wiped out, but it wasn't ever realistic to expect them to be totally gone.

They could never negotiate a peace deal for the same reason that Republican Presidents could never negotiate a peace deal. Too many careers are tied up in "the Middle East Peace Process" for it to have a resolution. Trump doesn't care about that, he just wants the killing to stop.

Poland Urges Germany to Halt Nord Stream Sabotage Probe

Last updated
21 minutes ago
Poland has demanded that Germany abandon its investigation into the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline explosions in the Baltic Sea, arguing that prosecutions would undermine NATO unity and advance Russian interests. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk refused to extradite detained Ukrainian suspect Volodymyr Z. to Germany, despite a warrant linking him to the blasts that severed Europe's direct gas supply from Russia. As the only active probe after Sweden and Denmark closed theirs without identifying perpetrators, the standoff is straining EU relations amid ongoing Ukraine war tensions.

Poland also wants $1.5 trillion in reparations from Germany.

Biden and Obama along with their hirelings cannot mention that because their implicit secret plan was for Iran to become the Middle East hegemon and that Israel would be forced to capitulate to the Iranians about the Jewish state because a mere two or three nuclear explosions delivered via missiles or other means would essentially destroy the Jewish state. Neither Biden nor Obama were bothered by the slaughter it would entail.

Trump struck directly at the nuclear and terrorist blackmail that Iran was using to get to that status along with ending all US support for those mad mullahs.

Try Chimes at Midnight, Orson Welles putting his spin on Henry IV .

The actual historical plays other than Henry V are rather boring in the sense that Shakespeare had to placate royals by dancing carefully about the monarchs of his times. Falstaff is the singular character aside from Prince Hal aka Henry V that stand out.

No such problem dissing foreign royals with MacBeth, Hamlet, or Caesar.

157 Amazing how the Gazans cannot support themselves. They depend on Israel for so many things, yet hate them. They must be insane.

Don't forget that a lot of Gazans had stable, good-paying jobs working for Israeli companies. And then lost them when the pro-Palestinian crowd in the US and Europe demanded they stop "exploiting" the Palestinians. It would be terrible if peace happened organically without the Democrats getting a cut somehow, after all.

We’ve been in far too many fights where civilian leadership hasn’t had the balls to do what was necessary. It’s war, and sometimes you have to eliminate the enemy and show the rest that fighting is a lost cause. This enemy doesn’t care about death. Same as AQ. They’re true believers and the fact some people don’t understand that at this point is mind numbing. In that regard CiNC has become very idealistic or naive IMVHO.

I don't think that is correct. There are Israeli Arabs who work in all fields. about 1/3 of Israel's dentists are arabs, and close to 50% of pharmacists in Israel are arabs for example. No one from gaza is allowed in Israel since October 2023, and those who came before were mostly employed in agricultural fields. some laborers from the so called W. bank are still allowed in for work.

My simple-minded understanding:

Bypassing the 'Palestinians' and dealing directly with the Arab nations to settle this thing is Trump's new approach -- introduced in his first term, set aside during Biden's term, in-progress again now.

Key aspects include that none of the other Arabs actually like or trust the 'Palestinians,' and they're all worried about Iran.

Trump not pandering to the warped priorities of the domestic US left simplifies matters also. Recall Biden visiting Saudi Arabia and insulting them immediately, then begging for more oil production, for example.

Israel is 16 million or so versus 1 billion Muslims. So far, it has survived by not going too far just like the US avoided nuclear showdowns with Soviet Union for the most part. Killing 1.5 million Gazans would in fact destroy Israel internally and externally as a pariah state.

Trying to exile them might appear better but that requires an insane country take them-forcing them into Egypt or Jordan would start another Middle Eastern war, trying to send them elsewhere is a non starter. Simply put, not every problem is able to solved by a depopulating Old Testament style war and this is likely one of them.

327 Wonderful post, Ace.

President Trump IS a force of nature and may God continue to bless him and our country who are finally on track again.

Instead of the bumbling Biden daze of open borders and fumbles. Or the purple haze of Obungo.

No, President Trump does not prance limp wristed down AF1 stairs. Of which I am grateful for...to have a serious leader in charge again.

There is no way that Biden wrote his little text. No way. He would be doing well to text #MeToo, vs playing with all the phone buttons like a toddler with his sticky fingers.

Barky is a narcissist. Who thought the sun rose for him. He needs to go somewhere quiet with Reggie and stay there. I still want to cut his facial mole off with a rusty razor.

At least the world, finally, sees a true leader. I sometimes glance at reddit hysterical headlines and they are attempting to put him in the same physical decline as Biden. Which shows how original their thinking is. President Trump runs circles around people half his age.

Please pray for his safety and health, and that of VP Vance, their family, friends and cabinet. Prayers that any plan against them will fail.

This year has been amazing.

ABCNews tried to ask a question. Trump responds, "I don't take question from ABC-Fake-News after what Stephanopouls did to VP Vance!"

I-84 through Idaho, hit one of the worst dust storms I've ever seen (outside of the Middle East).

On the other hand I-80 across the Utah Salt Flats was the smoothest, STRAIGHTEST drive I have ever had.

The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

Bombast and hyperbole are some of the hallmarks of president Trump's communication, but the reality of his administration's policies are quietly impressive.

For instance, this bit of news will get very little airplay among the savagely anti-Trump mainstream media, but it will be a concrete and powerful message to the people who must rely on the President for almost everything, including their lives!

America's Troops Come First as Commander in Chief Steps Up During Shutdown to Make Sure They Get Paid

"We have identified funds to do this, and Secretary Hegseth will use them to PAY OUR TROOPS," the president declared. He explained that "our Brave Troops will miss the paychecks they are rightfully due on October 15th," so he was compelled to act.

No big deal for the self-described intelligentsia who live in their cloistered communes on the Upper West Side and Hyde Park and Noe Valley, but a very big deal indeed for a young E4 with a pregnant wife. And perhaps a big deal for that E4's parents, who all of a sudden notice that the President of The United States actually gives a sh*t about the welfare of their son.

That's a powerful message, and one that will go completely unnoticed in those leftist enclaves, because they don't know a single person who is in the armed forces, and very probably don't even know anyone who has ever served!

It's difficult to get past the sound bites and the combative press conferences and find out what the President and his administration are doing. They are methodically dismantling the massive administrative state, and refocusing the government's attention on the people of the United States. Behind much of the loud braggadocio are carefully constructed policies that may not yield immediate results, but will nudge the leviathan in a better direction, while simultaneously flensing the fat from the government whale.

There is a long way to go, and it will take many years, but think of the incredible progress we have made already, less than nine months into President Trump's term!

The idea that shutdowns sway elections more than a year out is Inside the Beltway fantasy.

Democrats jumping into it thinking that Republicans will get the blame and lead to a wipeout next year (or maybe even just for the VA and NJ elections) is them sniffing their own farts.

Especially when they can receive real policy losses with the OMB deciding that the $3 billion reserved for some project in MA-3 isn't worth it, especially if its not backed by statute.

Conservatives have never actually cared about the "fallout" from shutdowns because the vast majority of the voting base for conservatives don't actually work directly for the government.

So, you have the few who do, who are caught between ideological support and personal loss who will be very vocal about effects, and then the other 99% who are just on board.

When one is advised by a bunch of Lockheed Martin revolving door execs, they're going to advise you a certain way.

Take a Milwaukee abortion clinic’s recent Instagram post in which they offer supporters the opportunity (for a mere $10) to suggest a name for their new – wait for it – suction aspiration machine. You read that correctly. They are holding a naming contest for a machine whose sole purpose is to abort children.

Just ignored by all previous administrations so they could use the troops as bargaining chips.

Also, responding to late comment from last thread... AFAIK, the subsidies were for ACA plans which include drug coverage. The prescription "plan eliminations and extreme premium hikes" are for Medicare part D and it's been driven, supposedly, by the IRA and fed regulations. Should be improved by Trump's Rx pricing changes.

Best president ever. The audacity of Donald J. Trump is only 9 months old he has put Europe in its place as a fading has been, is in a full on confrontation with the Chicoms before it gets to the kinetic stage, has reordered the global economy in favor of the USA as it rightly should be based on the value of US economic output, is eradiating the Marxist green new scam and reasserting reliable energy to power the 21st century and American energy independence, is rebuilding US manufacturing and asserting the US as the technology leader for the next few centuries, re-established the US military as a lethal force that can and will when needed protect US interests, is erasing the federal administrative state and by doing so is cutting off the balls of a key source of the Left's political power, is in a low grade war with the Marxists over getting illegals out of the country, and is using the fullness of his audacity to go after, maybe solve, the intractable Middle East internecine tribalism and global terrorism.

That shutdown was over funding for the border wall. Only "some" agencies, bureaus or departments were shuttered.

And the Republicans were onboard with the Democrats at that time. Lastly, the ability to do what Trump's doing now was likely never revealed to him. By Republicans or his staff. That's the travesty. IMO.

92 I think it's always been possible (well, for over a century) for an administration to move funds on hand around to pay costs as it sees fit. Never have had to work with the nitty-gritty of the matter, but I know previous admins did so during appropriations gaps. Would think that tariff revenue would be a new helpful factor in the picture. Steadier than tax intake, which is highly cyclical and seasonal.

And regular appropriations bills face the same procedural barrier in the Senate, the requirement for 60 votes to proceed to consideration, so same things at work there as WRT a CR.

The truth is that politicians hate direct speech like a vampire does the cross. And their bombast comes out as fake and contrived just like GHWB claiming pork rinds were a favorite treat.

Trump's rhetoric matches what he is trying to accomplish unlike the bloviations,however erudite, that most presidents get from their comm staff.

Trump is more like Reagan's "Mr. Gorbachev--Tear Down This Wall"---"There you go again" etc. From a long sojourn in academia, I have grown to hate the 'discourse'. This discourse is no more than the nattering of the elite class to show class markers in a classless society.

Pretty much all news is bullshit nowadays. For better or worse, Trump is going to be a 50-50 president for the rest of his term even if his policies earn an 80-20 approval.

His sin is showing the elites of both parties and in society that they have lied and manipulated the rest of the country by their implicit and explicit policies. Things can be done that the elites claim never could and things the elites claim never happened, Trump shines a flashlight of truth on them and finds out they lied.

With Congress losing the power of the purse, that's even less leverage they'll have to reopen the government.

The potency of this betrayal is precisely what makes this such an effective attack against the Constitution. We will accept dissolution of the ideals and institutions our nation was founded on after 2 weeks of pressure in the right place.

I feel sorry for the GS 12 at DFAS who will be holding the bag for criminal and civil prosecution on this for processing the payroll paperwork without congressional approval.

This administration knows that they need to reward loyalty like the mob if they're going to get people to continue to do illegal things for them.

Honestly if they can get away with this, they just took away the congress power. I wouldn't be surprised that they would dig into other agency funds to last another month.

The funniest part of this, is that the military is supposed to be protecting the Constitution. And now they are getting paid in the most unconstitutional way, and they are happy.

If you include something like mylar reflectors on both sides, you get about another 10 percent and vertical installs are less affected by cloudy days.

You install a certain amount of vertical panels facing east and the others west and it evens out low output from solar using the typical 30 degree south facing early in the morning and late in the evening.

One use is that you can install verticals in fields and still harvest crops or have grazing by animals in between rows of solar panels. Sets up just like a fence.

Solves problems like dope, deviants, etc. Right now the rest of states with blue cities are at the mercy of their rotten boroughs and cheating in elections. Separate them and the deviants can go wild in the cities but the minute they step off reservation, then state law exists to restrain their drug and sex habits.

Cities and their legal systems are already ignoring state laws that that inconvenience them so formally recognizing that status would improve the rule of law elsewhere if not in the blue enclaves.

Eventually, as the British 1/4th and 1/44th Regiments enveloped their left flank, Barney ordered his men to retreat to avoid capture. Barney himself was badly wounded in the thigh with a musket ball and was taken prisoner. The British later congratulated Barney for his bravery and released him.

There is a "solar farm" near Three Hills, Alberta, with tiltable panels in rows with the tilt axis running N-S. They face East in the morning, are horizontal during the midday hours, and face West in the afternoon. I guess they sacrifice peak output for a more even production level over the course of a day.

And if you knocked down the solar panels, and drilled a bunch of Horizontal Duvernay shale wells on the site, you would get far more energy than those damfool panels could ever deliver, and still be able to farm about 90% of the land area of the site.

238 And if you knocked down the solar panels, and drilled a bunch of Horizontal Duvernay shale wells on the site, you would get far more energy than those damfool panels could ever deliver, and still be able to farm about 90% of the land area of the site.

Apples and oranges.

If one is going to have a fence, then what is the problem with having it generate electricity. Plus, having a separate energy source controllable by individuals is also useful against supply shocks. One of the conclusions of Talib's Black Swan book is that multipoint resilience should be pushed rather than single sourcing.

We see that efficiency argument as empty when China, for example, can threaten the rest of the world over rare earth minerals simply because the West shut down their mines and research on extraction because the Chicoms could do it cheaper so why worry.

And shale oil is better used as motor vehicle fuel than to generate electricity. If you are arguing for fossil fuels, coal is a better use for electricity than oil as converting coal to fuel consumes more energy and generates some nasty byproducts.

Read an article earlier today, in a panic, trying to find another justification for a Constitutional scheme that permits the Legislative the power to limit the authority of the Executive to fire.

They are seizing upon the "necessary and proper" clause. And trying to add that to the "advise and consent."
That is, since the Constitution grants the Legislative the power to do that which is necessary and proper to enact their legislation, that extends to limiting how the Executive can fire those hired.

But again, as I've said, if that was the intent, the Constitution would not need an Executive, as their scheme makes the Executive office a mere Administrator for Congress.
This continues their flawed reading of the "take care" clause, as well.

In the background, there are looming constructions and a rocking chair, suggesting a human presence that has recently departed."

86 Ok let me explain this one...

He got a woman to pose nekkid sitting in front of him on a pedestal while he sits in his rocking chair.

The erect phallic image on the right is his response and that's why there is a line pointing back to the Y shaped thing.

There is a full moon in the background, because, as noted the model is naked and her full moon is in the back

Finally the big green rectangles are representative of how much money he expects to make off of this painting.

94 "The painting "Deserted Landscape" by Malcolm Roberts features discarded objects on a beach, evoking themes of abandonment and the passage of time. It combines elements of nature and human presence to create a reflective atmosphere, suggesting a narrative of loss and memory."

"The painting depicts a piece of driftwood shaped like a woman's pelvis, placed on a pedestal.
In the background, there are looming constructions and a rocking chair, suggesting a human presence that has recently departed."

"...talking about the significance of the passage of time, right, the significance of the passage of time. So, when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time in terms of what we need to do to lay these wires. What we need to do to create these jobs. And there is such great significance to the passage of time when we think about a day in the life of our children".

96 Ok let me explain this one...

He got a woman to pose nekkid sitting in front of him on a pedestal while he sits in his rocking chair.

The erect phallic image on the right is his response and that's why there is a line pointing back to the Y shaped thing.

There is a full moon in the background, because, as noted the model is naked and her full moon is in the back

Finally the big green rectangles are representative of how much money he expects to make off of this painting.

See? This work makes perfect sense

107 So many pussies in this painting I figured the artist had to be gay. No hetero guy would be this obvious or cavalier with female genitalia. So I checked. Malcolm Roberts does indeed crave dick.

I saw a headline from some formerly serious leftwing opinion mag, maybe the Atlantic, about the rise of "mixed sexuality couples" profiling a "gay man" married to a woman that had in fact knocked her up.

And...its always amusing that so many old things are new to the left...as the notion that a married man could also be a penis conssiuer (hello Barack!)

"Itis a passage Thomas Jefferson wrote for a draft of the Declaration of Independence - a paragraph I have never encountered. Given that I've taught U.S. History and Government for two decades, that fact stuns me as much as it embarrasses and frustrates me."

172 If Roberts is trying to get across that life in general and that mankind, his achievements and aspirations are disjointed, bleak, ephemeral and pointless, he succeeded.There is no relief from that in the painting. The artifacts are ruins at best and even the Earth is lifeless.

Fuck that. If the artist believes that, he should end himself and not pass on his nihilism. Art can deal with tragedy, injustice and despair. But to drown all existence in vile, inescapable sludge is detestable and to hold such art as worthwhile is as bad, maybe worse.

Gen-Z is not ideologically conservative or small-government. They're mostly anti-establishment.

They could be talked into supporting outright nationalism of industries and socialism, but it can't come from Sanders or anyone associated with the Democrat Party.

The establishment left has lost so much cache with men in particular that any message coming from them is going to fall of deaf, sarcastic ears. There's a wide opening on the right to mold politics in America for a couple of generations right now, but where it will go is not clear.

Where it won't come from is pretty clear too.

Spanish, without actual words, sounds like Latin, of course.

Related: there is a sorta rule of thumb that, the more one uses the Latin-based English words, the more they are bullshitting.
Whereas, the commoners use more of the Germanic-based words that are more direct and simple. "Lie" vs. "misinformation" for example.

This isn’t really that hard. She has multiple fraud charges, consistently going back to 2008. She’s having the state of New York pay for her personal fraud defense, so they have to say it’s “political”. They’re using taxpayer money and donations for her defense.

230 Deserted Landscape
Malcolm Roberts

Artist Malcolm Roberts, born Seattle, WA 1913 - died Seattle, WA, 1990. Smithsonian American Art Museum, Transfer from General Services Administration. Date 1937.
---
Note: Since it was transferred from GSA, it was commissioned by the federal government.

Artvee com: Malcolm McNair Roberts was an American artist. He studied at the Chicago Art Institute, the University of Washington and in Europe. He was credited as Seattle's first Surrealist and exhibited frequently at the Northwest Annuals at the Seattle Art Museum. He produced paintings in oil and gouache for the WPA as well as lithographs. Roberts utilized elements of the northwest landscape in his surreal compositions, especially coast and shoreline related material such as shells, driftwood and beach detritus. Some of his art reflects his homosexual orientation and he was connected romantically with other male artist's including Morris Graves and Guy Anderson. His later work of the 50's and 60's turned away from Surrealism.

Easily saw the 'pelvis' and thought this artist might be a cousin of Salvador Dali.

Nitrate can be very unstable, and there are some reports of film reels bursting into flames on their own, but it only happened in bad storage conditions where heat was allowed to build up.

A real nitrate print, either first-generation or struck directly from the negative, is an astonishing work of beauty. I read somewhere that high-end movie palaces would occasionally show their films on milk-frosted glass, which gave the images an otherworldly effect. I wish I could remember where I saw that.

The Morning Report — 10/14/25

Good morning kids. And so the Israeli hostages have been liberated, and from many quarters, President Trump is being hailed as a peacemaker, even from some of his bitterest critics on the Left. Of course the usual gaggle of degenerates and scum have their own spin on Gaza.

Zohran Mamdani-linked Democratic Socialists of America denounces ‘conditional’ Israel-Gaza cease-fire deal, demands ‘Palestinian liberation’

And after sucking on some Mein Kampf whippets, this decrepit scumbag joined in on the Jew-baiting as is his wont to do

The Vermont senator, who has called for a ceasefire for the past two years, also used the moment to call for an end to the US-Israel alliance

So, despite many singing President Trump's praises and nominating him for the Nobel Peace Prize, and despite my reservations about exchanging Israeli hostages and the remains of the victims of Islam, for the figurative and literal cutting edge of Islam in the form of hundreds of devout Muslims who observe the Koran by planning plotting and executing the slaughter of Jews in Israel and all over the world. Sadly, 10/7 will happen again, or a number of smaller scale 10/7's will happen over and over that will add up to or exceed the body count of the worst slaughter of Jews since the end of the Second World War.

That is and has been the status quo for 1500 years and unless and until there is a radical change in the mindset of every Muslim on planet Earth, more blood of innocents will flow in Israel and everywhere else where Islam has gained a foothold.

Meanwhile, over on the Ukrainian Front, President Trump has flipped his golden bouffant coiffure:

President Donald Trump once again threatened to send Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine if Putin doesn’t stop the war.
Trump made the remarks on Air Force One late Sunday night, even saying he spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy:

Sorry, but this is fucking nuts. I would doubt that Vladimir Putin would launch ICBM's on Ukraine and certainly not on us. But miscalculations happen and that leads to hair getting mussed, as General Buck Turgidson would warn.

In 1914, Europe stumbled into a war no one wanted and few understood;a war that destroyed empires and redefined civilization.
Today, Washington risks repeating that mistake, this time with nuclear weapons on the table. Through arrogance, ignorance, or incompetence, the United States is drifting toward direct confrontation with Russia, the world’s largest nuclear arsenal, with consequences that could be apocalyptic.
President Trump last week said he has “sort of” made a decision about supplying Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine or NATO allies.
He wants to learn more about “what they are doing with them” before making a final decision. His goal is to avoid escalating the conflict, but his words suggest he is doing anything but.
Is Trump posturing, playing 5-D chess as some claim, or joining the warmongering wing of the GOP?

PS: LoPecia Pressley can go to hell.

And the sooner we can obliterate the Ford Foundation and all the other ne'er do well undeserved degenerate inheritors of wealth, obtained by mere lucky sperm club membership, the better off we all will be.

Have a good day!

He added, “This is a partizan (sic) Republican spending bill that many of us strongly objected to in March, because it cut veterans health care, cut nutritional assistance, cut benefits as it relates to affordable housing programs in this country, which is desperately needed. And it also cut health care. And so we view this as a partizan Republican spending bill that continues the trajectory of gutting the health care of the American people at a time when we need to fix our broken health care system because of all the damage that Republicans have done to working class Americans, rural America, urban America, small town America, the heartland of America, and black and brown communities throughout America.” (WAIT, I thought Obamacare fixed healthcare 15 years ago?! - jjs)

Robert Zimmerman: "While politicians and media swamp creatures focus on the relatively inconsequential race to do an Apollo-like manned landing on the Moon, the real American space program is being run privately by SpaceX, and its goal is to not only go to Mars, but to do so in a manner that will quickly establish a human colony. Along the way the company will help facilitate that government space program, but only as it helps SpaceX learn better how to get humans to Mars."

His legacy includes the District of Columbia, which hosts the nation’s capital, and the state capitals of Columbus, Ohio, and Columbia, South Carolina—but the man, and his holiday, faced a sustained, relentless assault from woke activists and academics over recent years.

24 Is Trump posturing, playing 5-D chess as some claim, or joining the warmongering wing of the GOP?

Trump must deal with the realities of a very large MIC.

This includes the support of a large slice of the GOP who are wards of the MIC. To get the cuts in the military, there must be quid pro quos.

To maintain peace, Trump must give continued tribute to the MIC lest they start another costly war somewhere else so that the NGO pigs can grift at the humanitarian aid table.

Ukraine is a perfect example of a pointless state of a continuous conveyor belt of war materiel and excuses for bureaucratic and NGO grift.

Not sure Leo created it...it was mentioned offhand by the father running the Vatican Apostolic Library.

For those unaware, this is the library that scholars of all religions travel to the Vatican to research ancient scrolls and texts. It has proven to be a very effective means of conversion for many of those top religious scholars over the years. The Vatican Library did not create the room, but allowed visiting Muslim scholars access to a room to pray and put their rugs.

That said, do I think it's a good idea? No, under the give an inch and give a mile paradigm (b/c with one request granted, you open the door to 100 more from all faiths). But I understand where a Father (not a Bishop, and not a Pope) probably did not see the harm b/c he's just a welcoming guy and wants everyone to be comfortable in their research. Whether the room stands now that it went public and now the Pope probably is aware of it, TBD...

Feel free to leave if you imagine yourself as the one driving the getaway car.

Its amazing what a demonic and depraved heart imagines when in the face of human flourishing.

First of all, this is the LORD's Creation, we are temporary occupiers. He placed Adam and Eve in the Garden and told them to "take dominion over the Earth". The descendants of these two begat what ended up an extended family of billions and billions of people having a common ancestor in Noah.

To "steal" something implies that takes something that is legally understood to belonging to another without the owner's permission.

They fail to identify that God created the Earth and all its inhabitants and God determines the nations and their boundaries.

The US, once untamed land, is now the powerhouse that feeds and advances the world in human flourishing. That is why they hate it.

It's been proven that TdA does in fact work with the Maduro government. A number of TdA terrorists were sent to Peru to murder a dissident Venezuelan politician who was hiding from Maduro. There's no way they are operating a massive drug manufacturing and smuggling organization in Venezuela without the consent of Maduro.

I don't want to see a full military invasion of Venezuela but I have no more problem blowing terrorists and their drugs to the bottom of the ocean anymore than I would care about intercepting an ICBM before it hit our shores.

75 Islam was founded in the 7th century. Its tenets and claims, including the alleged revelation by the Angel Gabriel are not based on any verifiable historical facts. They are also not documented with any credibility or archeological evidence as is both the Bible and Torah. Its history is one of forced conversions and conquest. Its fundamental teachings are corrupt, and have been used to justify some of the most heinous acts in history. That said, letting them catch up on 7+ centuries of texts that in the end undermine their fundamental teaching and beliefs isn’t a bad idea. I think letting them pray in the Vatican is a bridge too far. It’s akin to worshipping Baal at our altar to our Lord. That’s quite the apostasy IMHO. But it wasn’t the product of this Pope.

76 Venezuela's been aligned with some bad people; Iran and China mostly. Iran helped Maduro sidestep sanctions on oil exports to keep him in power. China has been eyeing Venezuela for military bases for their own needs.

The Iran arrangement looks pretty inconsequential now.

The China thing... less so. A couple ChiCom military bases in close proximity to the US is a really bad idea.

I think the drug cartel issue from Venezuela is nowhere near as bad as it is from Mexico. I think the drug boat interdiction effort is a veil for regime change. There are enough assets in the Caribbean to pull that off if the administration wants to.

Pope Leo has cut open the Church's veins and while the blood drips, he's opened the doors to hungry apex predators. Hyperbolic, yes. But I simply don't understand the fascination much of the world's leaders have with coddling Islam. The danger of what they're doing is paramount.

85 How does Musk propose to leave Earth orbit with a Starship and fly to Mars
so many technical hurdles remain
Posted by: Don Black. Message: Listen to your inner groove at October 14, 2025 07:58 AM (AOsQT)

I believe that the plan is as follows:

1. Send Starship to orbit.
2. Send additional Starships to orbit as tankers to refuel the Starship in step 1.
3. Once Starship in step 1 is refueled, leave for Mars.

I believe that they have notional plans for obtaining methane on Mars to facilitate a return. Many technical hurdles remain but many have been solved. It is a process and we are in the middle.

90 On this day in 1917, the silent epic Cleopatra premiered, starring the great Theda Bara. A huge success, it was one of Hollywood's first blockbusters, costing anywhere from $300K to $500K and returning even more in box office takings. It was one of the most photographed of all Bara's movies, and its image of her looking out through kohl-rimmed eyes is one of the iconic images of the silent era.

https://tinyurl.com/544x48zz

The original negative was destroyed in a studio vault fire in 1936 and Bara's own copy, improperly stored in her house, "crumbled to dust" when she tried to screen it for her young friend Joan Craig. Only isolated clips have managed to survive, with a total running time of less than 1 minute.

If this interests you, why not head over to Amazon and take a peek at my novel The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of: A Theda Bara Mystery. You might like it!

That, and Ukraine has demonstrated that drones can be, and probably are, the "next big thing" in warfare. Ukraine was able to hit a significant number of Russia's long-range strategic bombers. These are aircraft Russian's can barely keep flying, let alone manufacture more of. And they've been used to strike at Russia's oil and gas infrastructure... some targets over 1000 miles away.

115 Every single mortgage document that Letitia James signed over the last 42 years had falsified information, this was not a 'one-off - according to forensic accountant Sam Antar.
Antar, a retired forensic accountant known for his meticulous unraveling of financial puzzles, claimed that this is no isolated slip-up but part of a larger history of alleged misconduct.
Antar, who stumbled upon these inconsistencies while reviewing public filings, stressed his non-partisan approach, "I'm not part of this tit-for-tat with Trump or anything like that."
This isn't a complicated case. It's as plain as day."
James purchased a Virginia property in 2008 but failed to report its mortgage in her 2021 and 2022 financial disclosures to New York State. Suddenly, in 2023, two mortgages appeared—totaling more than twice the property's value—raising immediate red flags.
The mortgage clause specified the home as a second primary residence, however James's tax returns showed she didn't spend any time in the home, and claimed rental income.
This allowed her lower residential interest rates and insurance costs, while she never informed the bank of its commercial use.
(Cont.)

Posted by: rickb223 at October 14, 2025 08:30 AM (+A5KH)

116 Beyond the indicted Virginia home, Antar flagged two other properties—one on Sterling Drive in Virginia and another in Brooklyn—as potential sites of similar fraud.
The Brooklyn building, certified for five units, was allegedly financed and insured as a smaller four-unit residential property, dodging higher commercial rates.
In 2020, during the purchase, James reported income from the property in her disclosures. But from 2021 through 2024, that income vanished from records—potentially understating her finances to state overseers.

END HER!

The road to this deal was not easy. My Administration worked relentlessly to bring hostages home, get relief to Palestinian civilians, and end the war. I commend President Trump and his team for their work to get a renewed ceasefire deal over the finish line.

Now, with the backing of the United States and the world, the Middle East is on a path to peace that I hope endures and a future for Israelis and Palestinians alike with equal measures of peace, dignity, and safety.

And Al-Sisi) worked overtime to be with Trump and to ingratiate themselves with him - while Starmer and Macron were sent to the little kids table and not asked to be in any important meetings.

163 Don't underestimate the power of money. Muslims might like jihad but the also like money quite a bit. Take a swing through the UAE or Qatar and you see wealth and opulence on a scale not duplicated many places. Gaza is pretty much a blank slate now with some pretty nice beachfront property.
Posted by: JackStraw at October 14, 2025 08:43 AM (viF8m)

I have frequently made the point that people do not understand Qatar at all; the only god they have ever truly worshipped is Gold. They will act like jihadis if they’re paid to; they will switch sides overnight the minute they get a higher bid. Trump has now made that highest offer, and much of the deal (in that respect) is secret and will remain so.

But here’s a surprise - Al Jazeera, owned by Qatar, has suddenly fired their pro-Hamas staffers and has been ordered to focus only on humanitarian concerns in Gaza. Hamas has already complained bitterly about this.

164 The organizers of "No Kings" and probably every other leftist protest group obviously pay these people to participate. Most of them, if not all. And, they seem to think the motley crew of aging boomers (mostly white women) is just the ticket that will resonate with the rest of the country.

He dictates his social media messages to an assistant who types them up. He approves them, and then she hits send.

From what I have read, too, a lot of ordinary people wanted war as a civilizational shake-up, a sudden waking from the torpor and hidebound societies they found themselves in.

Of course, all this enthusiasm was predicated on the thought that all would be over by Christmas 1914.

Trump doesn't care about peace, only power. He wants the Nobel Peace Prize SOOO bad because Obama got one and it's just killing him that he doesn't have one, and I fucking revel in it.

We're talking about a guy who's been giving serious thought to invading Venezuela. Trump isn't a big peace guy.

Trump is a transactional person. He only cares about peace if he thinks he can get something in return. He just wants peace in the middle east so he can put in a golf course.

He called a press conference to point fingers at more than half the country before anyone knew the first detail about Kirk’s assassin. He knows he draws his power from division and, therefore, will never make any effort to heal or unify. You tell me how peaceful that is.

hes trying to take me and my daughters rights to hormones/puberty blockers away he can go fuck himself first off. trans women are the new holocaust!

Russian has a word for thinking that wars will be over soon: "shapkazakidatel'stvo." "Shapka" means "hat" and "kidat'" means "to throw."

NBC News, Oct 6 - Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene breaks with the GOP on Obamacare, calling to avoid premium hikes

327 They're on her medical insurance until 26 (and some cases older) = $0 to them under mom's health insurance coverage.

Her dependents are eligible for COBRA when they turn 26, provided they were on her plan before that age and the employer's plan is subject to COBRA rules (e.g., the employer has 20 or more employees). COBRA Coverage can last from 18 to 36 months.

A Congress person's 'child' can also get Medicaid after turning 26, but it depends on the individual's income and the state's specific Medicaid eligibility rules.

An adult in Georgia can potentially qualify for Medicaid after turning 26, but eligibility depends on their income and other factors. They may be eligible for Georgia Pathways to Coverage, which offers Medicaid to low-income Georgians aged 19-64 with incomes up to 100% of the federal poverty level, or become real adults and get coverage through the health insurance market place or even through a job.

Unless there are extenuating circumstances of disability and/or severe illness, people need to grow the hell up. Their lives are no more difficult than those that have come before them.

And Congress needs to stop its BS & be under term limits.

The old nitrate film stock, if not stored under optimum conditions, will self combust. Very dangerous. In the late 60's I worked part time as a projectionist in a few very old movie theaters. The projection booth actually was fireproof and had metal shutters that would drop down, covering the port holes in the event the nitrate film would conbust. The chains that held them in the open position were spliced with a small lead link that would melt in the event of a fire, allowing the metal to drop down, covering the port holes. The projectors also had firetraps separating the supply and take-up reel magazines. If the film caught fire in the film gate, the flames wouldn't spread to the reels themselves. Dangerous profession back in the nitrate film days. Many theater fires back then.

Daily Tech News 14 October 2025

Top Story

One of the UK's innumerable regulators has fined 4Chan £20,000 for... Well, basically for telling them to get fucked, which the British didn't take too well in 1776 either. (The Verge)
"Today sends a clear message that any service which flagrantly fails to engage with Ofcom and their duties under the Online Safety Act can expect to face robust enforcement action," Ofcom enforcement director, Suzanne Cater, said in a statement.

4Chan has responded by suing Ofcom in federal court... In the US.

4Chan could be in more trouble still if they don't kiss the ring:
Starting from tomorrow, 4Chan additionally faces a daily penalty of £100 for either 60 days or until 4Chan complies with the information requests, up to a maximum of £6,000.
Yes, I'm sure that will do the trick.

Tech News

The Dutch government has seized control of technology company Nexperia from its Chinese owner Wingtech. (Tom's Hardware)

Nexperia focuses on boring but necessary products like diodes and transistors. It was spun off from Phillips in 2006 and sold to Chinese interests in two stages in 2017 and 2018.

Seems like they came to regret that.
The Humbird 3 is a Thunderbolt 5 eGPU dock with a PCIe 4.0 x16 slot for $399. (Tom's Hardware)

The numbers. What do they mean?

It also has three downstream Thunderbolt 5 ports, a DisplayPort port, and a 5Gb Ethernet port. And up to a 500W power supply though the basic model only comes with 180W.

8 Woo hoo ! I'll take it!

Greetings from your man in Singapore, lots of respect for President Trump right now in this corner of the world, even if some of it is begrudging. I am amazed that this also includes my smarmy Brit friends, who have had to give credit where it's due.

It may not last - and/or it's a bit of a mirage, but this is the first time I have felt that there's a shot. And Trump got there by supporting Israel and isolating the Palestinians/Hamas (and Iran) from the rest of the Arab world. I am also getting the sense that the termination of some of the Hamas leadership in Qatar by Israel was tacitly allowed/staged by Qatar and the US (who then said to Israel "stop" and they did). This sent the not so subtle message that, even though they were in Qatar, they could be reached by, and would not be protected from, Israel and the US. The thought of that and the knowledge that the $ was about to dry up or become a trickle - particularly with Trump shutting off the US AID spigot to all the world's commie terrorist organizations, signaled that the party was over for Hamas and Hezbollah.

Anyway - off to read the Pixy content - will comment on that later.

13 OK - on that OFCAO BS, and any BS EU regulator stating that they have the authority to regulate US companies (which 4-Chan is, btw, domiciled in Delaware) just because the site is accessible to people in the UK/EU can, if you will forgive my French, "blow me."

This was what annoyed me about the GDPR - it literally suggests that because you have site accessible by even a single person form the EU and/or they buy something from it, you have to obey all their regulations and are subject to jurisdiction/fine & penalty. And, at the time, all the US companies' legal folks just rolled over and agreed and implemented GDPR controls. I would have literally flipped them the bird. Um. No. your citizen came to my site to buy, even if virtually, so the transaction occurs here in the US - so it is subject to US regulation . . . and the EU/UK can f*ck right the f*ck off.

Lousy (what's new?). Had a bad weekend and came this close to trashing my entire novel in a fit of depressive rage. I really need to get away.

Sleep at night continues to irritate me - it takes me 3-4 hours to finally drop off (I'ver been that way all my life), and then when I finally do manage to get some dreamtime, I have to be up in an hour.

I'm going up to Ogunquit, Maine this week to see a couple of performances of Titanic, the musical, which I love. It would be nice if I came back rested and relaxed, but I doubt it. Still, it will be nice to get away from everyone for a few days.

90 "I’m contemplating a network upgrade and redo in conjunction with the imminent Starlink installation. We are in a rural area. Does anyone have experience with a music server or NAS setup?"

I do, but I'm a tech weasel who likes using Slackware linux for my networking needs who also was a signal officer and telecom software engineer.

IOW, I'm willing and interested enough to go into the weeds for my home networking needs. It's absolutely sane to not want to do that.

In my experience, Starlink has been GREAT unless there is a thunderstorm over the house. (The rain interferes with the sat comms.) Starlink provides IPV6 addresses, which you will need to use if you run an internal server that you'd like to access from the outside world. (I run my own local email server that is available on our phones when we aren't at the house.)

If you don't care to provide external access to your internal network, Starlink will be a drop-in replacement to your current internet needs.

You may want to check out the Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/@HardwareHaven

He provides some guidance on what you can do with trailing-edge hardware including running a NAS and media server.

92 This is how the white traffic light would work:

Several autonomous cars get closer to an intersection.
These cars send data to the traffic light about its speed, position, and direction.
The traffic light detects there are enough smart vehicles to manage the traffic.
The white light turns on, warning that cars are controlling the intersection.
Human drivers only have to follow the traffic flow led by autonomous cars.

What would be really useful is if they would put these on roundabouts.

As I mentioned last night, little Dagny the Aloof Siberian actually lay on my lap for about twenty minutes last evening. She was sprawled on the table, so I scooped her up and placed her, still on her side, on my lap. Then we both ruffled her fur and petted her belly. She clearly enjoyed the heck out of it. I'll try to do this every day until she gets used to it.

She's been more companionable lately, and we play together all the time.

One guy attempted to shit on it and be the "Ackshually" guy. He went so far to say that if he was 23 and that skilled then being a mason isn't that hard because doctors are in school for ten years.

I wouldn't recommend the hardware or the OS unless you're an enthusiast, but Jellyfin is a full of win.

He got his lap time earlier that evening. He'll sit on me, though for shorter periods than he used to, and usually sleeps with me in the afternoons and sometimes at night. I wake up and find them both on the bed occasionally.

Overnight Open Thread (10/20/2025)

It's easy to second-guess our politicians, particularly when they insert themselves into complex and seemingly intractable geopolitical issues.

President Donald Trump has done something in the Middle East that Eisenhower couldn't do, Nixon couldn't do, Reagan couldn't do, the Bushes certainly couldn't do, and we won't even mention Obama and Biden.

He has forged a consensus and ended, at least temporarily, an ugly event in a region that is famous for ugliness. Will Hamas honor the ceasefire? Maybe. Will they return the remaining bodies? Maybe. Will they reconstitute and once again threaten Israel with destruction? Maybe.

But the odds are better now than they have been for the entirety of Israel's existence as a modern nation, and that is a very impressive accomplishment, especially when much of the West is at best ambivalent about President Trump!

There will be time to pick the agreement apart, and I am not holding my breath for a lasting peace, but still, it is far, far better than it has ever been!

It was a stunning achievement in most respects, and the fact that the world isn't clamoring with adulation for President Trump is a sad commentary on the rest of the world, not on President Trump.

Wait? Dagny actually condescended to provide lap time? How did you do this? MegaRoy, as loving as he is, will absolutely NOT sit on a lap. Closest he gets is draping across my back when I'm asleep.

Dagny has been getting more . . . companionable . . . in the last few months. Tonight, she was sprawled on her side on the table. I simply scooped her up and placed her, still on her side, on my lap. Expecting her to vault immediately away, I was astonished when she stayed, enjoying fur ruffling and belly rubbing (which she has always loved), for quite a while.

I'll try to manage this every day and see if it can become a habit.

35 My college roommate and I saw Neil Young and Poco at the Auditorium Theatre, Chicago, 'way back in 1971.

We were up in the nosebleed balcony and they looked like ants on the stage. The crowd was stamping hard in time with Poco and we more than half expected the shoddy, shaky upper balcony to collapse. Actually moved over and stood near the exit just in case.

Hitchhiking back to Wisconsin was one of the most surreal experiences of my life. A memorable journey.

Did you hear the "argument" they're using to prove it was "biden's framework?"

They're saying biden-harris, at the end of their term had already "designed" the "key phases" of the "plan."

Yeah, biden, the Architect, created Phase 1: the ceasefire. Fucking astounding, right? Then, biden-harris thought of Phase II. Yeah, Phase II, you guessed it: release of the hotsausages. Fucking brilliant!

But, alas, biden-harris didn't have time to work out Phase III, which was "governing of Gaza." But Trump totally stole the first "key phases," which were the hard part. The last phase, the governing part, was the easy phase that Trump came up with.

93 CCR

I've posted about this before. I read John Fogerty's autobio, & then did some follow-up research to see whether he was full of skit or not. He's not.

I concluded that these things are true, & that they contributed to the fact, as CBD notes, that somehow CCR is often overlooked compared to the band's peers:

1) Fogerty & the others signed their first contract without a lawyer or an agent. Neither Fogerty nor the others had any business experienceThe man who controlled their songs & their money for 30 years or so was a crook & a sleazebag's sleazebag. All of their money ended up in the Netherlands Antilles-- and disappeared. Surprised?

One trend I've noticed is this... a lot of these carefully curated articles are headlined with:

"You Might Think X, But This CEO Says That You Now Think Y.

Here's why your puny mind that doesn't command a trillion dollars in managed assets is wrong, and you should be embarrassed to even have a thought, let alone express one."

It's basically the old line of bullshit the Right used before they got buttfucked for talking like that to people, but now the Left is saying "hold my beer."

Essentially no one born this century has ever even heard of this senile communist.

The most recent album of his I can find data for is sitting in cumulative chart position 43,862. Not exactly a smash hit, to put it mildly. Not really a threat to Thriller (66 million copies), Back in Black (50 million copies), or The Dark Side of the Moon (also 50 million copies).

His latest offering has sold 40,000 copies. Not 40 million. 40 thousand.

4) During those appx 35 years, the band members, & that same sleazebag leach of a manager I mentioned above, sued each other continuously! One case even went to SCOTUS!

5) All of this friction & chaos I've tried to describe took a huge toll on CCR. How could it not?

152 That was the music biz in those days. They would do anything to get signed, and they had you by the balls. Pretty much everyone got screwed, if they became successful they would get a new manager, and buy out their original contract and get new terms.

Fogerty got sued because one of his later tunes he wrote sounded, they claimed, like an earlier tune he wrote (which he did not own the rights). I believe it was “Run through the jungle” and “Old man is down the road”.

Neil Young got sued because he put out an album that didn’t sound like Neil Young. Might have been David Geffen. Said it was not characteristic of Neil Young. “Put out a rock and roll album”. So he formed the Shocking Pinks and did a 50s themed album. Really pissed Geffen off, who probably wanted another album like Harvest, that sold a lot.

Neil does what the fuck he wants, I can’t argue with that. I don’t agree with him on politics but he’s pretty good guy in a really sleazy business.

One being when the Rolling Stones still owed Allan Klein's ABKCO a song before they could leave the label.

They came up with a little ditty called "Cocksucker Blues" (title was later reused for a film), with Jagger singing in a whiny voice about getting his cock sucked and his ass fucked, while Richard played a twangy steel guitar.

Technically it fulfilled the contract, but was, at the time, completely unreleasable.

The other was the Sex Pistols, who managed to collect signing checks from two record companies who let them go after realizing just what they had. "Keep the money. Just please don't kill us."

120-130" of snow has a way of changing your thinking about that, though. Or at least it does me and my 29-year-old body.

That sucks even with a snowblower, especially with 100 feet of driveway to clear before you can even get to the alley (which the city never plows until just before trash day).

I don't mind mowing in the summer, but if we get one of those winters where the snow hits 3 feet at a time, and doesn't melt until May...

As far as time zones go, Standard/Daylight doesn't make much difference to us here in Alaska, as the time has only a loose correlation with the sun to begin with. What would really make a difference is giving us back our four time zones. Some bright spark back in the '80s decided that it would be good to have all of Alaska on one time zone (except for the parts so far west that they're practically Russia, which rate a second time zone). It was touted as making it easier to do business with the West Coast. Of course, nowadays business runs 24/7/365, so that justification no longer makes a helluva lot of sense.

285
In the old days, time was an entirely local thing, what is known as local mean time or local apparent solar time. The idea of the govt setting time standards would've seemed ridiculous. Time thus changed pretty much continuously with longitude. Each town, or major hub would sort of the local time at solar noon -- if they knew the Equation of Time and had a good observatory, then could set things to true mean time, but for most people it didn't matter. You set your watch/clock to noon at high noon. Given the accuracy of most mechanical time pieces at the time, that variation didn't matter.

Then came the railroads, and that variation in local time became a matter of life and death. There were several accidents, including one where 14 people were killed when two trains collided -- each train thought the other was nowhere near, because they had synced their clocks to different local times.

The railroads realized they needed to synchronize their clocks. And thus "railroad time" was born. That became Standard Time referenced off Greenwich Mean Time.

Note the federal govt had nothing to do with setting Standard TIme and the time zones. The railroads along with the states did that entirely on their own. Such was the power of the railroads during that era. This only became federal law much later, during the '20s I think, and that just rubber stamped what the states had done on their own.

It was controversial at the time, and I remember reading some piece from that era ranting about the tyranny of railroad time.

The old standard for mechanical watches, Swiss, was -4 to +6 s per day. The 2s bias was due to people sort of preferring watches to err on the fast side, not slow. They'd rather be early than late. And also a mechanical thing. With the mechanisms, it was easier to slow a watch down than speed it up after a point.

For mechanical watches, you can get free "timegrapher" apps for the smart phones which can tell you a mechanical watch's error and other behavior. I've got one and used for several watches I have. Pretty cool thing.

It may be a structural change.

Hamas only exists from outside support.

Now, from where? Iran has been somewhat neutered, the rest of the Moslem and Arab world has said Done with you people.

Quatar is dodgy, but in general, Hamas' external support seems to be over.

332 The railroads realized they needed to synchronize their clocks. And thus "railroad time" was born. That became Standard Time referenced off Greenwich Mean Time.

This is also the reason the best pocket watches in the world were American in the late 19th century.
The government mandated their accuracy for railroad time.

Then the European wrist watches came along and destroyed the demand for pocket watches.

If interested, see the Day with Two Noons, Nov. 18, 1883. That's when Standard Time was implemented, and all clocks were set to the new standard time zone times.

For locations east of their time zone meridian, such as NYC, that meant local time was ahead and clocks had to be set back. In practice, most of the time they just stopped the main clocks for the necessary interval. But technically, that day had two noons.

If you were west of the meridian, the clocks had to jump forward. At the time, many people were worried about that -- how can you change time? You can't just change time like that!

Just looked that up to see the exact rule. At noon, local time on Nov. 18, 1883, one stepped the clock to the new standard time. So, if you were east of the time zone meridian, that meant your clock would have to be stepped back, before noon, hence "two noons".

But in practice, they just stopped the clocks mostly east. West, they would have to advance it.

Nuns are cloistered, i.e. you won't see them anywhere. Sisters are in the world. So, sisters in the hospital.

Same deal: they all pray the hours, and they all are celibate, poor, and obedient. But, the sisters are workers in the world, and the nuns are prayer warriors.

66 Hey again, everybody.

I don't really have too much of a problem with people who want to, er, 'not honor' Columbus himself. IMHO and from what I've read, his mission wasn't really about peace, goodwill, or any of that stuff. It was about trade, pure and simple, and Columbus wanted to be rich, revered and famous.

Also, he wasn't the first explorer of the Americas. We all know about Amerigo Vespucci, and if Columbus's ships had sunk in the middle of the Atlantic, I'm sure there were many others ready to take his place.

If Chris were around today, IMHO he'd have a (most likely not very popular) podcast and be trying to get attention on social media.

I *do* have a problem with idjits like Kamala and Liz Warren who can't be bothered to understand that this continent was worth exploring, for all the misdeeds and mistakes of the first settlers.

Cortez OTOH didn't appear to GAF and killed the Aztecs (who needed it btw) because they were in the way and deadly, not to save native lives.

134 Per the photo above - they have Huy Fong sriracha on the table. It's a great product. It originated in L.A.'s Chinatown, and my family has used it since I was a little kid, after it found its way into Chinatowns throughout the Western US from their expanded facility in Rosemead, CA.

But, though the facility was big enough, and the family had put down roots in Rosemead, they were forced out of there after a bitter civil suit, and now make their amazing product in Irwindale, CA instead.

"Why would this happen," you might ask, "why would Rosemead want rid of these crafty, slant-eyed entrepeneurs and their delicious sauce?"

Well, it wasn't because Rosemead natives wanted them gone. It was an industrial district, and Huy Fong was a good employer there.

It was because hipsters moved in, and they didn't like the spicy smell surrounding their fair-trade, gender-neutral art district they were Handcrafting With Alley-to-Table Love in Rosemead, so Huy Fong had to go - along with the rest of Rosemead's industry.

I always think of this little vignette when I think of what my fellow millennials did to this country.

That is quite the enigma. The sea-faring civilization before Younger-Dryas crowd thinks it represents that ancient knowledge of Antarctica.

The mainstream consensus is it just looks close, and was probably some distortion of South American coastlines or something.

Piri Reis claimed to have used Portuguese and Columbus' maps, but it doesn't really explain the far south and possible Antarctica, since one was unknown and the other was pretty sketchy. Arguing that one source was 40,000 years old to show an ice free Antarctica is pretty hard to swallow though.

I think the last time Antarctica was completely ice free was about 35 million years ago.

However, it looks like there was some substantial melting as last as the HCO, the Holocene Climate optimum, maybe around 8 - 6K years ago. The exact timing of all that is not known very well, but Antarctica did have much less ice than today in the early Holocene.

If the Drake passage were blocked, it would interrupt the current around Antarctica which keeps it cold. I have wondered if glaciation would have closed the passage at the height of the Older Dryas, which would have allowed a number of things, from a partially warming Antarctica and the possibility of ocean travel from Australasia to South America along the pack ice.

134 Per the photo above - they have Huy Fong sriracha on the table. It's a great product. It originated in L.A.'s Chinatown, and my family has used it since I was a little kid, after it found its way into Chinatowns throughout the Western US from their expanded facility in Rosemead, CA.

But, though the facility was big enough, and the family had put down roots in Rosemead, they were forced out of there after a bitter civil suit, and now make their amazing product in Irwindale, CA instead.

"Why would this happen," you might ask, "why would Rosemead want rid of these crafty, slant-eyed entrepeneurs and their delicious sauce?"

It was because hipsters moved in, and they didn't like the spicy smell surrounding their fair-trade, gender-neutral art district they were Handcrafting With Alley-to-Table Love in Rosemead, so Huy Fong had to go - along with the rest of Rosemead's industry.

I always think of this little vignette when I think of what my fellow millennials did to this country.

As far as life goes, we have a sample of exactly 1 data point: Erf.

However, the assumptions are life anywhere will probably be a lot like life here, and DNA will likely be a very basic component.

Life could be really different of course, some utterly alien, unknown chemistry, but the assumption is "life as we know it".

Very true, and they are human, but they are claiming that the scans done are showing sequences that are found in Mediterranean and North African populations. The mummies are from pre-100 BC, so this is a bit of a concern about dating, the lab process, or what it might mean.

He thinks it's far more than rising sea level with the meltwater. When the weight of the ice sheet is removed, the crust rebounds a bit, isostatic adjustment, which gets complicated. You've got this big rotating ball of mass, with various mass distributions. Move the mass around, and the shape will change to get back in equilibrium

Now, what if there was a weak spot somewhere. Rather than a smooth lowering elsewhere to compensate for the rising here, you get a weak spot that all the sudden sinks.

He thinks that happened in the Azores.

That's technically correct. Columbus was from Genoa; Italy didn't exist until, what, the 1850s?

323 Call it Columbus Day, Marco Polo Day, or Explorers Day, whatever.

Putting "Indigenous Peoples' Day" there instead is an insult orders of magnitude worse than being given a participation trophy for just showing up. Because those "Indigenous Peoples" didn't even show up, they were and remained ignorant of the rest of the world for generations. Everybody else knew the various continents and nations and how to get there. Columbus brought knowledge of the Americas back, where the new world was, and how to get there. And many nations did. The "Indigenous Peoples" were not building ships and setting sail for rum, slaves, spices, and other goods.

What blew my mind is isostatic adjustment works backwards to what you'd think in the effect on the earth's moment of inertia.

At first naive blush, you'd think that melting ice from the poles and moving the mass to the closer to the equator would increase the inertia and the earth would slow down.

It does initially, but as the thing adjustments, the equilibrium goes the other way. Ice at the poles results in a *higher* moment of inertia than an ice free earth.

The isostatic adjustment of melting ice results in a lower moment of inertia eventually. So, counterintuitively, ice caps cause a more oblate shape than no ice caps.

Well, cocoa, for one. Maybe coffee.

The Egyptians probably would have recorded it somewhere if they had trade with visitors who took months to cross the ocean. You'd think so anyhow.

I doubt any South Americans crossed the Atlantic, but it's possible if they were really descendants of the Polynesians, as some think they are.

Many moons ago, I could tear down, troubleshoot, and repair HO Scale slot cars. They were so fun to drive. With the right touch, you could get the back end drifting as the car went around curves.

Then the next generation were made such that the field magnets were directly above the metal rails in the track. They were darn neat impossible to crash, but it was boring. You just gave them max power, and watched.

Well the Phillie medical examiner office just now finished investigating themselves and have now concluded, and you well never guess this, “we did a great job actually and were totally correct in our original assessment “

It is something along the lines of "the greater the emotional impact on society, by the greatest spectacle, violent, or transgressive act, will encourage the subjugated section of society to emulate this to rise up and cast aside the repressive elements that bind them, and drive through the revolution.

This posits that a) enough of the population care, b) enough of the population can be moved by transgressive acts to emulate them, and iii) the situation is close enough to being on the cusp of revolution that action made will be sufficient to overpower or overawe the power structure,

As it is, I think it is just the next move on the "how to pursue a color revolution" in getting sufficient bods on the street that no one wants to hurt to mask the violent and give them an Ocean to Hide in.

Two questions:

1) Is riding bikes, while naked, really transgressive? In Portland? I'm surprised it's not mandatory.

2) When the shooting revolution starts, are they going to put some clothes on? It's going to look like something from Planet of the Apes, otherwise.

120 There is nothing effective about riding a bike naked. It's just acting out in a consequence free environment.

"I want to ride a bike naked, which would get me tazed if I did it outside a Chinese restaurant or a 7-11. But if I have a picket sign proclaiming my commitment to justice for the transgender poets of Lincoln, Nebraska, nobody will dare taze me! And if they do, they'll put up a bronze statue of my naked, bike riding ass on the burnt ruins of Lincoln, Nebraska as an apology to the transgender poets."

136 I'm sitting here trying to make sense of the Portland Nude protest against ICE. Is that some untapped valid and effective way to change laws that I wasn't aware of? And, does it, also, work on the corporate level. Such as, if you think you deserve a bigger raise, can you just strip down and levy a better result? I'm thinking it's not going to work well if you are employed by a pin company. You might have to leave your Crocs one to avoid foot injuries. And, does that single piece of outerwear effect the overall result?

Protesting is getting complicated.

I remember 1966 NYC very well. I was traveling into the city Monday through Friday while attending a television production and studio operation school on Broadway. It was fun and there was so much to see. So many places up and down Broadway to grab a steak dinner for a decent price. Italian restaurants everywhere. AND, if you were looking for someplace specific, you could walk up to a complete stranger and they would take the time to give you directions. A different world. A different country.

Most people didn't need to drive very far in the 50's. Dads worked in factories or offices that were were within 10 miles of home. Only a few moms drove in the 50's. One car in the family, and dad drove that to work. Going downtown to shop meant "catching the bus". I remember those days very clearly. At Christmas time, Santa was in the basement area of Sears and Roebuck where they sold the appliances. That scene in "A Christmas Story" was pretty much on the nose.

Not really. Many cars for the mid 50's would do 75 easily. My 57 Chevy has no issue with it. Back in 1964, I had my dad's 57 up to 110 on a stretch of 287 that was being constructed. Mine now runs radials with a slightly updated suspension.

My friend's child had a hog for their 4H project and she left the house and somehow the dog opened a door and her child didn't latch the pigpen correctly and she came home and the pig had been inside of her house for hours. She was crying, there was poop on the walls and all over her floors and she had just painted her walls. I think she cleaned all night and her kid was in big trouble.

Self-centered and unprincipled, but occasionally insightful. And teetering on the edge of self-awareness.

“I’d go mad if I had to live in all the weird shit I write about. A typical Washington dinner party, for instance, is just part of the daily routine for most political writers. They do that five nights a week, and get very insulted when somebody calls it weird. What passes for everyday social reality in Washington strikes me as very peculiar and baroque.”—Hunter S.

Yup. Most of his post-Nixon career was thrashing around trying to find someone he could hate as much as he hated Nixon; he even seemed to be considering Clinton for a while. And yet Thompson didn’t even have the consolation of having had even a small part in taking Nixon down.

Nixon, meanwhile, moved to California with his wife and lived on the beach. I’m sure it wasn’t what he would have preferred, but not a bad life, and I doubt HST was even a footnote among his regrets.

57 So there is some wild stuff going on w/ the markets;

This big crypto crash (~20x the size of the spring 2020 one) seems to have gone nuclear on account of some fundamental bugs (read: something Indian happened, dot-not-feather) in exchange setup. The first thought of many was that this was a deliberate attack of dumping assets, using insider info on who had what positions on margin, and how much, in order to kick off a chain reaction of liquidations... but now it's not clear if this was a deliberate attack, or just whales fucking with the exchanges and it got way out of hand.

At the same time we have the crazy shit going on with precious metals and people are questioning whether the western COMEX/LBMA house of cards is going to survive this one. Other commodities exchanges are about, well, trading commodities. The western ones are primarily about financial fuckery.

I don't think Trump is capable of the structural reforms needed, it's too late. In the long run even in a vacuum the western fiat bullshit is all doomed - the Chinese have their own self-inflicted issues, though who eats it first here matters - so the paper metals stuff is guaranteed to implode at some point.

84 Everyone's crystal ball predicting the future is cracked.

In general, people would rather have false certainty of things that might not come to be instead of dealing with the day to day uncertainty that not knowing what the future will bring.

The true answer is nobody knows. In teh 70's we were to die soon from a frozen wasteland, by the 90's, we would burn to death by globull warming. We were assured of nuclear destruction anytime a Republican was in the White House and that electing a Dem would cause the Earth to heal.
Ironically, just before WWI started, we were assured that trade between nations guaranteed that there would be no more general wars and Chamberlain waved a sheet of paper claiming Peace is at Hand.

If you want to speculate with some cash, sure, whatever

Crypto is fundamentally unworkable; if you don't hold the keys (ie it's on an exchange), it's not yours. If you DO hold the keys, you need them on an airgapped device (note the spectacular recent wallet firmware attacks, which most aren't aware of), or even in physical dumb hardcopy.... but when you need to TRANSACT, you must either engage with an unsecure system or transmit over one. I can't lose my physical held assets to someone snagging them remotely due to a firmware exploit, nor can I really lose them due to simply forgetting a password or a government declaring my specific assets contraband by proclamation. ACH/wire fuckups and thefts can be fixed; crypto transactions generally cannot.

The way around this is the same as conducting international trade in things like gold used to be done; a network of trusted institutions and paper pushing, which is exactly what the crypto crowd DOESN'T want... and yet that still leaves the underlying coins vulnerable to government controls and tech traps that would never affect gold

Reminds me of one of the malfunction 'drills' the Black Hats warned of where if you were a 'hung jumper' - meaning your static line had snagged and you were dragged along the side of the plane in it's slipstream - they would foam the runway so when the plane landed the hung jumper would be cushioned by the foam on landing. The 'Hats' said that once the plane stopped you would unhook your harness, run smartly to the front of the plane and salute the pilots while sounding off with a loud and hearty Airborne!

Much fun. Heh.

way back in college days, a few misguided souls decided it would be fun to go skydive.

So off we went, hungover, but enthusiastic. Learned the basics of a static line jump, and into the little Cessna we went. I got the passenger's seat ... which meant: First Out.

On take off, the plane executed a hard roll to the right and the passenger door flew up to the wing ... exposing me to mother earth. I instinctively grabbed the pilots leg like a raptor catching it's prey. He not so gently removed my hand and said: "what's your problem, you've got a chute on".

Time came to jump: 4,000 feet. Out onto the strut I stepped .. got the slap on the ass to jump ... and away I fell.

But, Trump has always seen Operation Warpspeed as a success. He stopped mentioning it at his rallies because his base largely does not feel the same way.

But the thing I found the funniest is that.

I don't remember anything until the chute opened, and then I panicked, and started grabbing at the webbing girdling my waist and legs. As soon as I calmed down enough to take in the beautiful fall scenery over the Adirondacks, the descent was over.

Once on the ground, the instructors said there was still enough daylight for one more jump for whoever wanted to. Of course I raised my hand ...

Up we went to 4,000 feet ... out onto the strut ... this time I waved bye bye to the instructor ... went into a beautiful arch and counted: one one thousand ... two one thousand ... OH MY FUCKING GOD THE CHUTES NOT OPENING !!!

I clawed at the reserve, and missed the handle for the reserve chute each time (thank god) ... only to feel the jerk of the main opening.

The fact that I passed out on the first jump, distorted my awareness of the time it took to fall away and have the main open.

Great timesv ... but never again.

Find Christ is my rejoinder. You can find miracles every day if you look as well as good people doing good things. A true smile, a friendly wave, a good deed done not for salutes but because it gives other people pleasure are all around you if you look.

It is a fallen world but one can find truth, beauty, logic because the Creator made this world and the perversions, evil, and ugly come from Stan who wanted to mar the Creator's world and humanity.

Think of Stan as an art critic that can do nothing other than sneer, deprecate, and pervert but not create anything wholesome, true, or beauteous.

Did you know that archeology supports the case that an offshoot of the Mauri (Olmecs) were living in Central America when the Central Asians came over the ice bridge, they wiped out that civilization completely and utterly.

Westerners didn't do something like that. "Indigenous Raiders" did.

If one reads the Old Testament, one realizes that we live pretty good today compared with the endless disasters from folly and sin befalling mankind in the past.

Death, sorrow, evil, folly, these are human things, not the Creator's and the sooner we realize that Jesus and his Father want us to be happy instead of miserable like Stan does, we can change ourselves within if we dare to abandon our gloomy outlook for the shining promise of being saved.

185 I was an NCO with the 82nd Airborne Division back in the day, now many years ago. My POV on a jump was usually the inky blackness of the void since we almost always jumped at night. We also jumped with our rucks, weapons, and radios. I jumped most of the time with my M60 machinegun, that heavy, cumbersome hunk of steel.

My unit once did a daylight demo jump for 82nd WW2 veterans, and I'm guessing all of them are gone now. We won't see their like again. Those were iron men in those days.

Speaking of daredevils and jumping, I got willowed once when I posted this fun girl who dives off buildings, balconies, bridges, crazy cliffs, cranes, probably places that people used to be thrown off of as punishment. She's sponsored by Red Bull.

What's fun about her is that she's often scared as she's climbing up to the dive points. "Oh my god, you guys, this is so scary! These steps are so creaky! Here I go, climbing over this little railing..."

She's posted so many dives that at this point she's getting silly and posting "Can my lipstick stay on after a 20-meter dive?" and stuff, but the shorts are fun.

Here's one of her dives, and YES, Yes, about the swimsuit.

"Sioux" got applied to the Lakota, "Anasazi" (they are now the Hopi) meant something like "those assholes who used to live over there" in Navajo, "Pueblo" (also referring to Hopi) obviously is just "the people" likewise, "Comanche" meant "the baddies" and "Welsh" (Cymraeg) meant foreigner in old Anglosaxon.

He has this prayer in the book which has been transformational for him; He says it everyday.

Lord

Here I am
I trust that you have an incredible plan for me.
Transform me. Transform my life.
Everything is on the table.
Take what you want to take and give what you want to give.
I make myself 100 available to you today.
Transform me into the person you created me to be, so that can live the Liffey you envisioned for me at the beginning of time.
I hold nothing back.
I am 100 % available.
Lead me, challenge me, encourage me and open
My eyes to all your possibilities.
Show me what you want me to do and I will do it.

Amen.

Some things which Jesus says are very hard. I don't think I could do them either., so I would just gently suggest that you do as an old gospel song says, "Have a little talk with Jesus" and tell him all your troubles and your hesitation. Believe that he loves you and tell him your struggles.and leave it up to him. Strive for holy moments by the help of the Holy Spirit and he will help you. He is working in you and me even now.

I am stuck holding a pretty large amount of cash for various reasons but I seem to have found the ratio where the one inflating away is offset on paper by the shiny things appreciating. So we have that going for us, I guess.

Would rather have bought a lot more solid assets in the past but it is what it is. Cash is a tool. We're about 50/50 cash and land/pm's, and know exactly how good we have it compared to most even if we still pinch pennies day to day.

I know cats can and have chased off larger animals. Whether they're bears or not, that I don't know.

What I do know though, the vids are indeed fake, because, who has their babies crawling on the ground, where there are bears in the woods, just outside of one's property?

So it's possible some of the vids of the cats chasing off the critters are real... there just aren't babies crawling on the grass in the real ones.

They are really bitter from the amount of tannins, I would ask a vet if they are poisonous.
Once the tannins are washed out, roasted, or cooked with clay to remove them, they are edible to people.

Some critters crave bitter stuff when they have parasites, you might consider the dog needs a worming too.

I'm walking my first Greyhound and we're going past a guy's house. Dachshund is outside with no leash and no fence. Charges us head on. I put myself in between me and my dog but the Dachshund disregards that and tries attacking Nikko.

He's biting at her ankles and you see the expression on her face of "Hey! Stop that! Cut it out!" And then I saw the expression "I am fucking done!" A moment later, she grabbed the dog in her jaws, began to squeeze and was lifting him off the ground.

Dachshund had this expression that said "I'm...not as big as I thought." I quietly told my girl "Put him down gently. I know you're mad but daddy doesn't want to pay for a dead dog."

No problems afterward.

Dachsunds. I love 'em. But I had one Dachsund grievously wound me. Broke my tailbone, and grievously broke my left thumb - it will never be the same again.

It was my ex's Dachsund, and we were good friends. I had been doing some renovation in her basement, and had to shut off the power and work in the dark with a shop light, but it didn't reach the steps.

This dog had somehow managed to get in the basement, and was laying in wait on the stairs for some petting. I opened the door, and made it halfway up before he sprang, tripping me and sending me right back down, twisting backwards onto my ass, and catching my fall on the edge of a stair tread with the aforementioned thumb.

Every time I have to ice the damn thumb, I think of him. And not in a bad way. That's how sweet those dogs are.

One of our Catahoula pups in the past was enjoying being out with my mother in law in the garden and of course decided to start digging and sticking her nose in the soft dirt for a good whiff. MIL was yelling at our pup for doing so until our pup sighted a mangy coyote circling around the back of my MIL. Dog alerted and went to battle stations immediately even as a pup to guard the woman yelling at her. Coyote slinked away.

From that point, nothing our dog did, including eating an entire cooked duck carcass in about ten unsupervised minutes (had been picked first for duck dressing) on a holiday requiring a vet consult bothered my MIL about that Catahoula.

Tear jerking moment when MIL was on her deathbed. We got to take our Catahoula to say goodbye and she licked my MIL's hand.

Mother in law then told us she loved us all and passed shortly thereafter.

hopefully he's given up and his mom is caring for her. she seems relatively normal

apparently it's a Tibetan Mastiff cross, bc I was steaming thinking of the breeder who had to know what he was up to with their dog, and let him keep her. it's painful bc that breed is very smart and not suited to what he seemed to want her for (which, no dog is suited for).

honestly you have to watch out for streamers and influencers. friend of mine sold a prize sheep - sweetest thing! to an influencer and that poor little lamb didn't make it a week. the chick had her living in the house like a pet dog, which kind of worked, but she ended up getting out if the house one night and the space cadet didn't even notice (and the lamb got hit, only knew farm life, not suburbs!)

Oh yeah. When I was a kid we had a shepherd mix that would pick up pecans off the ground, crunch them, spit them out, pick up the pieces with less shell, and repeat until he had the bits he could eat. Same dog would pull wild grapes off the vine and eat them.

173 141 I think IIRC chocolate can be toxic for some dogs, but not others. At some point, I think every dog I've owned has managed to steal some chocolate, and I freak out, and then they're ok.
Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at October 13, 2025 02:01 PM (BI5O2)

According to a number of veterinary sites it depends on the weight of the dog, the type of chocolate and the amount consumed. Dark chocolate is more toxic because it has more actual chocolate in it containing theobromines or some such. White chocolate is basically non-toxic because it isn't chocolate, just sweetened cocoa butter. Then there's everything inbetween. So it's not like it's an automatic death sentence but chocolate should be kept away from your dogs.

He's so lying. They don't yelp when you hit the vibrate button and they have two pain buttons, one gives a shock that feels like when you plug something in and get shocked, the red button inflicts pain of the sort that would make the dog yelp. Unless he turned up the dial to make the light shock inflict a lot of pain. I shocked myself to test what it felt like.
He's a monster and shouldn't have that poor dog.

Human NSAIDs can be highly toxic to cats and dogs. Even small ingested amounts can cause kidney failure, so police your pills and be VERY careful with topicals because just licking your hand or the application site can cause problems.

208 OTOH, Hernán Cortés.

Of course, the claim of a "complex relationship" as La Malinche, an Indigenous woman and his interpreter, gave birth to a mestizo (mixed-race) son, often viewed symbolically as the origin of the modern Mexican people.

This complex origin prevents a simple hero/villain narrative of Cortes as it forces an acknowledgement of both Indigenous and Spanish heritage.

Call largely BS. Spain was too far away & too tough to extort.

It was during the summer and my son and his friend were putting up siding in 95 degree heat. At one point my son realized he hadn't seen Ace for about an hour. As he went looking for him the dog bounds up the street back to the house. He was soaking wet. Apparently he needed to refresh himself by swimming in the river. My son had never showed him the river, but somehow the dog had found it. Plus, he was able to find his way back to a place where he had never been to before.

246 Is the left going to cancel him or what?

No. Twitch relies on him because he's their big ratings draw, without him its a few thots pretending to play video games. He's the advertising earner.

They didn't dump him when in response to Charlie Kirk's assassination he called for explicit, very detailed, and horrific murder and violence to people on the right. He went on a rant for several minutes describing intestines coiling on the ground and worse.

247 "Influencer bullshit guides say having a dog or cat around in frame increases viewer engagement aka money. That is why some like Piker do it."

Twitter is a cesspool of these propagandists. There's a guy on every corner with a megaphone just spreading outright lies, trying to incite violence toward Trump, ICE, us. Reporting doesn't do hack.

They're obviously astroturfed, usual posing as a hot woman which, sorry, but has to be fake because hot girls on the net are into OnlyFans, not influencer politics. Has to be some troglodyte living in it's mother's basement. They never engage in comments, just spew spew spew toxic speech.

254 Trump is making systemic changes to unfair political advantages (illegal immigration, USAID funding, mail in ballots, Antifa) that the GOP simply tolerated.

They need to get out of the way. I wish MAGA was capable of replacing them but the Left has an accidental advantage - as they become more radical, the defectors join the Right out of necessity but pull the Right leftward.

19 I watched KPop Demon Hunters this weekend. It was surprisingly … not bad.

The songs are of course terrible and diabetes-inducing, with the exception of the last one (which is surprisingly good with intelligent lyrics).

The story was pretty good, with interesting backstories and characters you actually cared about. While it's clearly aimed at tween girls who take KPop bands seriously, there's also jokes and parodies of pop bands that mature adults will understand.

If you stripped away all the tween-targeted syrupy material, and remade the movie for a more mature audience, it would be really good.

Late Howard Hawks, so it's essentially just John Wayne and some dudes hanging out for 2+ hours.

It's just Hawks replicating Rio Bravo about 5 times in his later career, this time in Africa.

Some day I'd like to read a real break-down on just how far from fixable Mexico really is. "Back in the day" I used to read reports how an incredibly small number of families owned more than 80% of the economy. That was a decade or two ago. I imagine with the cartels and the marxism that situation has only gotten worse. Its my non-statistical guess that the only way to "fix" Mexico would be through a complete overthrow of the government, and those only seem to happen FROM the Marxists and not TO the marxists.
Posted by: Crusader at October 13, 2025 11:58 AM

Watch the movie Cartel Land (2015). It tells the true story of how a town, led by a dentist or something, armed up and rebelled against the local cartel.

After they won, the dentist and the militia became the new drug cartel.

Northern Mexico is fucked.

87 >>> 21 19 I watched KPop Demon Hunters this weekend. It was surprisingly … not bad.

Drinker's review of it is pretty great. You can have girl protagonists that aren't girlboss boring, who knew?

Even the sugarcoated pop songs in the show have deeper meanings, I thought that was cool. The Huntrix songs are secretly about killing demons, and the demon band's songs are about consuming souls. They further the plot. And yes, there's a lot of parody of kpop bands and the pop groups to laugh at, while they also have love for them. It had to carefully balance a lot of tricky things and did it well.

Have you heard the wild backstory about the album? Sony movies and Sony music are two companies under one parent company. Sony movies carefully crafted the perfect soundtrack, and then Sony music passed on the rights to it. The rights got bought by a smaller music company with some involvement in the soundtrack. Whomever made that decision at Sony music should be fired. Think of the millions Sony music lost in music right a cause they passed it up! It is to laugh.

91 I've just watched about 10 minutes of Trump's address to the Knesset. Anyone thinking he is going to be shuffling off this mortal coil from dementia is mistaken. This was the Trump of old: lucid (for him), concise (for him) and in clearly touch with his audience.

It's not Stephen Miller who is perpetrating monstrous evil against the United States, it's Trump himself, and his cruelty knows no bounds.

Sadly, I have to agree. Yes, he outsources a lot of the nitty gritty to equally repulsively cretins like Miller, mainly because he's either too lazy or too stupid to handle the details. But he absolutely knows what he's doing.

I couldn't watch. His voice, for me, sounds like someone scraping their fingernails down a chalkboard, it sends shivers down my spine.

He is also insecure and scared which makes him over the top evil. He's also jealous of Pres Obama and Pres Biden. He is not loved, they just tolerate him, the RWers are prepping Vance.

I call the effect "Debate Donny". No idea whether it’s a double, android, stimulant cocktail, etc. But I recall the accusations of Biden using performance enhancing drugs. Every accusation is an admission.

"In the 1980s, researchers at Loma Linda University used Gallagher's comedy to study laughter's effect on the body. Taking blood samples from ten medical school students while they watched Gallagher in action, the researchers observed the subjects' white blood cells increasing. The scientists said that laughing appeared to have boosted their immune systems."

Where do people get this shit? I'm 99.999% certain neither Trump nor Musk ever went to the island. Musk was at a Vanity Fair event and Jizzlane photobombed him. Trump used to let Epstein hang around, but kicked him out of Mar a Lago when Epstein hit on an underaged girl. Trump also flew on Epstein's plane from FL to NY once or twice.

Mega rich people like Trump who have mega rich acquaintances with planes fly around on other people's planes all the time. It's normal for them. If they can prove Trump flew to the island, then they have something. Otherwise, no.

Some of this is good for Israel, much of it is bad.

Whatever Iran agreed to... it has a possible shelf life of three years. The ceasefire could be over in three days, or three months, but three years is the outside maximum.

I think the Iranian play here might be to wait and see if they can get a Democrat President to have fun with in '28. But they can't wait longer, and let a new status quo between Israel and the Arab States to solidify. That's the whole reason 10/7 happened in the first place. Nobody gives a fuck about Palis, least of all Iran.

If they get a President Ocasio-Cortez or whomever, great. But even if it's a President Vance or whomever, they still have to go back in.

I'm wearing bandaids, Hubbymayhem is looking .... Concerned. Blanket is in the washer and I'm just hoping it doesn't fall apart. I told Hubbymayhem that if it comes apart in the wash, it goes straight to the burn barrel.
It was supposed to be awesome. Vintage linen calendars, plus coordinating solid color fabric on the top. Retro 1970's print fabric on the back. The end result is.... Not awesome. Why? Because I did everything myself. And clearly, I am too stupid to understand that I am shitty at this.
At this point, I hate that fucking quilt.

Best wishes for a relatively quick and pain free recovery!

As part of my cancer treatment, I had an RPLND surgery. They gut you like a fish, dump your intestines on your chest, and cut stuff out of the back of your abdomen from the inside.

A year or two later, I had an obvious hernia in the incision site from the RPLND and had to get it fixed. The doctor who fixed it found many small hernias with a mesh matrix. He compared it to Swiss cheese. Everything's good now, but when I twist and turn I can feel the mesh a little bit in my stomach area. It's ... weird.

Rush were great live, although I only saw them back in the day when they were much younger men. All three are virtuosos on their instruments. The only issue with their live performances is what I said upthread about Dokken: on the records, Rush overlays guitars and has bass and keyboard playing at the same time. Live, it's only three guys playing so they can't do that.

Degaulle's line " treaties are like little girls and roses, they last as long as they last " applies here. Islam says anyone who isn't a follower is an infidel. Infidels must be killed, converted or enslaved. They want a one world caliphate. This agreement is a snapshot in time that will last as long as the parties think it's in their interest. If another Islamic fundamentalist movement arises things change

Posted by: Smell the Glove at October 13, 2025 12:40 PM (L1Wxc)

As Bethmann-Hollweg said - they're just scraps of paper.

But you expect the paper to last longer than a blink of an eye. Which is all this is. They should call it the Augenblick Accords.

And it won't take any new Islamic fundamentalist movement to sweep it away. It was struck with an existing, aggressive, expansionist Islamic fundamentalist movement that feels backed into a corner. As soon as they can find a way to start the festivities, they will.

They must have played for 2.5 hours, and aside from 2 songs about halfway through (where he probably went backstage for oxygen), he was dancing, non-stop, up and down the T-shaped stage that went into the crowd. 90% of people couldn't have kept up with him.

I knew someone who saw Cher. She sang for maybe a total of an hour and showed videos of every award she had ever gotten and every fabulous dress she had ever worn.

John Denver on the other hand sang for three hours and finally sent his band home and continued solo.

285 Holy Smokes...there are a lot of leftist idiots willing to swallow Blinken's proclamation that Biden made Trump's peace deal possible.

I suppose, in a way, he did in that there would have been no need for a peace deal. In Trump's first term he cut off all financial aid to Gaza. Biden quickly restored that aid and added to it immediately upon taking office while simultaneously financing the Iranians. Those funds allowed Hamas (thru Iran) to initiate their 10/7 massacre.

So, yeah, Biden was only responsible for today's peace deal in that he set up the scenario to require a peace deal in the first place.

>>I recall that Geddy Lee would play keyboard while also playing bass pedals with his feet and singing simultaneously. Amazing.

Lee sings, plays bass, plays the synths, plays bass foot pedals and effects triggers.

But apparently age has caught up with him as they are adding a keyboard player to the 2026 tour so he can concentrate of singing and bass.

Back then, he booked a flight from Florida and showed up at the Admissions Office, where he promised he would maintain a 4.0 GPA and give back to the University if they accepted him as a student.

His gift is double Temple's greatest bequest by the Kimmels, who gave $27.5 million in April.

He has a really great voice live, and he was just a nice gay bloke putting on a fun show you could take grandma to. Nice sharp suits, clean crisp staging.

Then, post covid, he want bloated and demonic. I'm still jarred by it. They say when young gay men hit their sexual shelf life they have a raging mid life crisis. I wonder it that's connected to the "unholy" satanic break Sam Smith had from sanity.

The sad thing is, if he changes back to the nice bloke act tomorrow, he's lost all those grannies and the top 40 audience. They don't want any part of his schtick now.

It's the ads on the front page that Ace is forced to use because he's not worthy enough for Google thanks to advertiser boycotts.

I've got the same problem, but I don't blame Apple, I blame the left for forcing people to use janky ad networks that overload pages with scripts and videos.

You could try the Brave browser, if you're not already, but as I recall it wouldn't work on my phone for the front page either.

Works on an iPad with Brave and set to allow the ads, though.
It takes a little more time for the ads to load, but it's good to go after that.

Biden also pressured Israel in the days after 10-7 to fight with a hand tied behind their back. While I think Israel blew the chance to really crush Hamas in those early days, it wasn't totally their fault. They were getting (at best) mixed signals from the USA. It would have been much different under Trump.

373 285 Holy Smokes...there are a lot of leftist idiots willing to swallow Blinken's proclamation that Biden made Trump's peace deal possible.

I suppose, in a way, he did in that there would have been no need for a peace deal. In Trump's first term he cut off all financial aid to Gaza. Biden quickly restored that aid and added to it immediately upon taking office while simultaneously financing the Iranians. Those funds allowed Hamas (thru Iran) to initiate their 10/7 massacre.

So, yeah, Biden was only responsible for today's peace deal in that he set up the scenario to require a peace deal in the first place.

Biden, every Biden cabinet officer in addition to Blinken, Jake Sullivan, Susan Rice, Kamala, Ron Klain, Hezbollah and Hamas leaders, and Greta T.

Mebbe, just never cared for the genre as such. When I was a kid, those movies were on endless reruns on Saturdays and Sundays along with endless western series like Gunsmoke, etc.

And Wayne outside of his genre wasn't that compelling on screen. Nothing like Jimmy Stewart, and a bit like how Cary Grant typecast himself after Notorious and his Penny Serenade movie. Something like Winchester 73's performance by Stewart was probably beyond Wayne's acting skills or desire to play such a character.

But Grant could play light comedy like few others could match.

The Trump Administration’s Purge of Illegal Truck Drivers Is Having a Huge Impact

There have been several high-profile, deadly crashes in recent months involving semi-trucks being driven by foreign nationals and/or operated by shady operators whose ownership is a layer of shell companies. The recent video of an illegal alien from India causing a fatal wreck when performing an illegal U-turn has received a great deal of attention. The Trump administration is cracking down, especially as it applies to aliens who are not licensed to operate these vehicles. The crackdown is revealing that a great many of these drivers are in the country illegally.

The enforcement crackdown also reveals that the problem is being exacerbated by blue states that are extending commercial driver’s license (“CDLs” to foreign nationals who don’t speak English or know U.S. traffic laws. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement just arrested an illegal alien who was provided a CDL in New York under the name, “NO NAME GIVEN.”

Craig Fuller is a former trucking and logistics executive who now operates Freightwaves, a publication dedicated to those industries. After Donald Trump’s election in November, Mr. Fuller was thought to be a candidate for Transportation Secretary, and although he didn’t get that job, Fuller has the ear of all major players in the trucking and logistics industries.

In recent days, Mr. Fuller and Freightwaves have been documenting a massive federal effort, ”The Compliance Crunch,” to go after drivers operating illegally. This is obviously also disruptive to those enterprises who put unskilled and illegal drivers behind the wheel of semi-trucks.

With immigration authorities and regulatory agencies targeting any trucks on the road in violation of federal regulations, massive fraud is being revealed, including:

• Carriers bring foreign truck drivers in on tourist visas, have them drive for 90 days, at which time they leave and are replaced by another driver on the 90-day cycle. Per Craig Fuller, “Entire fleet business models [are] built around this.”

• Eastern European drivers are being brought in by organized crime syndicates from their home countries, and operating with little understanding or respect for US laws.

• Because of the crackdown, alien truckers are starting to ditch their trucks along highways, leaving them for the trucks’ owners to come pick up.
• ICE and cooperating police agencies are aggressively patrolling truck stops.

• Carriers that rely on cheap foreign truck drivers are reporting massive absenteeism. Per Mr. Fuller, “This is going to destroy entire business models. Trucking companies only survive through cashflows of running freight. They are toast if this goes on.”

• Truck stop parking lots are suddenly much emptier than normal.

• ICE is also showing up at businesses where shipments are loaded and unloaded, verifying that the truckers have legitimated CDLs. Shippers therefore are becoming proactive in ensuring that only legal drivers are backing up to their warehouse docks, and refusing to load or receive shipments from non-compliant drivers.

• Trucking companies and freight brokers are being advised by legal counsel to immediately cease working with non-US domiciled truck drivers and those who lack a legal United States CDL. Mr. Fuller quotes one of them as telling him, “Plaintiff attorneys will scorch any broker or carrier for hiring an illegitimate driver.”

• Insurance companies are likely to refuse to provide insurance going forward for companies unless they prohibit the hiring of truck drivers lacking US-domiciled CDLs.

As to this last point, Craig Fuller states that “It’s all over” in regards to the business practice of employing illegal aliens and unqualified foreigners to drive semi-trucks on American roads.

“Trucking advised to audit all drivers to limit CDL liability” [Freightwaves – 10/09/2025]

Trucking and logistics companies should be taking immediate steps to mitigate increased exposure to drivers with non-domiciled commercial driver’s licenses – including an audit of all existing employee or contract drivers, a regulations expert advises.
That advice, included in a legal alert by Greg Reed, a partner at Hanson Bridgett LLP, comes in the wake of an emergency rule issued in September by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration overhauling who is eligible for a non-domiciled CDL.
In the alert, Reed points out that if an accident were to occur, plaintiffs’ attorneys would likely argue that logistics and trucking companies are on notice that non-domiciled CDLs may be operating unlawfully and are insufficiently qualified.

It’s estimated that of the roughly 3.9 million commercial truck drivers currently operating in the U.S., roughly 200,000 (5%) will not be able to continue driving as a result of the Trump administration crackdown.

Most truck drivers on America’s roads are legal and most companies operate ethically. But it is a disgrace that ethical companies and licensed American truck drivers have had to compete with foreign labor that operates as a form of chattel, being paid below-market labor rates while under the control of illegitimate operators.

With the impending shakeout, shipping rates will improve for the remaining (legitimate) carriers, and American truck drivers will see the value of their labor increase with the illegal labor being removed from the marketplace.

But for those companies operating illicitly, good riddance.

You know what though? These carriers did this to themselves, exploiting loopholes for bottom dollar drivers to be behind the wheels of their trucks. There was full programs running to cover visas, if they came to drive for companies in the US, and fill one more seat saving $$$

Embedded in the tweet below is a satisfying video from an American truck driver who is realizing that his illegal competition is suddenly gone. ”This parking lot is empty. It’s never been this empty. I don’t know what Trump is doing, but it’s never been like this. He needs to keep doing what he’s doing. Trucking gonna be up.”

"This parking lot is empty. Its never been this empty. I don't know what Trump is doing, but its never been like this. He needs to keep doing what he's doing.

In conclusion, I found this final tweet by Mr. Fuller to be refreshingly honest, but it’s also a frustrating reminder of how easy it is to have unwavering philosophic principles until the day comes that our principles get mugged by reality. In this case, he acknowledges that his libertarian, pro-immigration, open-border beliefs have been devastating to the American trucking industry and to American truck drivers.

As a libertarian, I was always pro immigration and have an enormous amount of empathy for people that are born in very poor and unstable countries. I know how fortunate I am to be born in America. But over the past few years, my perspective has changed. I've seen what unrestricted immigration has done to the trucking industry and how it has destroyed the livelihood of millions of veteran American truck drivers. It has made the trucking industry an economic wasteland and made it impossible for legit operators to make a profit and survive.

I am not in any way mocking Mr. Fuller, since I have also changed a lot in my idealism over the years. I too was once much more libertarian and pro-immigration than I am now. “Pro-immigration” used to mean bringing in people who forsake all other allegiances, learn our language and culture, and who are eternally grateful that they have the rare privilege of becoming U.S. citizens. But with “pro-immigration” now meaning advocacy for the importation of non-citizen workers, in violation of U.S. labor laws, under the control of criminal outfits who “own” the laborers, and involving “immigrants” who have no allegiance to the United States nor any interest in abiding by our laws, the modern redefinition of “immigration” is amoral, unethical, and destructive to our country.

Much gratitude to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and President Trump for cleaning up our highways and rooting out the criminality that has put so many unqualified illegal aliens in the cabs of semis. Truck driving is a great job for American citizens, and this administration is going to make trucking great again.

8 I am disappointed that when illegals are pulled over and caught, the truck and its cargo are not forfeit. That should be the first thing done after the driver is deported. Then, on top of losing the truck and contents, criminal charges should be brought against the owner.

Adding people from other cultures will change your own. Now, when it is a small number of people, from a similiar culture, and you push the newcomers to abandon their previous culture and adopt yours the negative impacts are minimized...and it can be worth it to get the skills those immigrants bring.

But for 20+ years we've been bringing in millions from cultures nothing like our own, celebrating their cultures over heritage America's, and putting them straight on welfare.

Unlimited immigration has been an abject failure for everyone that isn't getting to harvest their votes or grift off their welfare payments

40 It's going to take a while to replace with qualified drivers. There may be some out there looking to get their old job back but after that... driving a rig without tearing it up or wrecking it is no easy task.

Rigs are so expensive it's surprising that companies gave that responsibility to unqualified drivers. They used to be uptight about that.

Your state is frankly maliciously incompetent. Real ID was passed back in GWB era and has been the law of the land for nearly two decades. Waiver after Waiver when states whined they weren't ready for it when in truth, it would affect illegals that the elites, political and commercial, wanted here for their own purposes.

My state did all this shit back well before Covid and it was a laggard even ten years ago. So I have little sympathy for people whinging in laggard states about not bringing documents required to renew their licenses. It wasn't hard if one can read renewal documents and pay attention.

Waiver after Waiver when states whined they weren't ready for it when in truth, it would affect illegals that the elites, political and commercial, wanted here for their own purposes.

My state did all this shit back well before Covid and it was a laggard even ten years ago. So I have little sympathy for people whinging in laggard states about not bringing documents required to renew their licenses. It wasn't hard if one can read renewal documents and pay attention.

101 Everyone involved in trucking knew what the Biden administration was doing, specifically Pete Buttigieg, then Secretary of Transportation.

General trend: From the first half of 2020 to June 2024, the 12-month increase in wages and salaries for transportation and warehousing grew significantly, reaching 5.1% in June 2024. Specific examples: In the transit sector, some labor agreements saw wages increase by as much as 13% between 2023 and 2025. Driver shortage: The rise in pay is largely attributed to a shortage of drivers, which increased demand and competition for qualified personnel.

Now, Freigntwaves com: 'Lawmaker pushes to end Mexico/Canada trucking reciprocity,' John Gallagher, Monday, October 06, 2025

The Protecting America’s Roads Act, introduced by Rep. Beth Van Duyne, R-Texas, is largely aimed at codifying into law FMCSA’s recent Interim Final Rule (IFR) cracking down on non-domiciled commercial driver’s licenses, and by extension foreign truck drivers.

But Van Duyne’s bill would push those restrictions further by attempting to end CDL reciprocity agreements with foreign countries – which currently exist only between Mexico and Canada.

Pay rises, so are prices.

119 The Trump administration is cracking down, especially as it applies to aliens who are not licensed to operate these vehicles. The crackdown is revealing that a great many of these drivers are in the country illegally.

I would guess that 75% of the problems in this country would go away immediately with a simple enforcement of the country's, state's and city's laws.

The vast majority of the problems in the country are due to lack of will to enforce laws or deliberate non-enforcement of laws (blue cities/states... "space to destroy") as well as corruption.

This is why I have always been against "comprehensive immigration reform" since the 2006 Amnesty betrayal by W and the GOPe. There is no need for "immigration reform". There is 100% a need for enforcement of immigration laws and deportation of all illegal aliens.

Only after that happens should any discussion of "immigration reform" be considered.

124 As a libertarian, I was always pro immigration and have an enormous amount of empathy for people that are born in very poor and unstable countries. I know how fortunate I am to be born in America. But over the past few years, my perspective has changed. I've seen what unrestricted immigration has done to the trucking industry and how it has destroyed the livelihood of millions of veteran American truck drivers. It has made the trucking industry an economic wasteland and made it impossible for legit operators to make a profit and survive.

I've considered myself more of a libertarian in my beliefs for a long while (probably considered more of a Classical Liberal now). I've never believed open borders was a great idea, and it was obvious what the damage was going to be way back in the 90s before it got so bad in the last two decades.

This guy should apply that same ideological conversion of his to not just the trucking industry but every industry in the country that has replaced Americans with cheap imports.

The harm went a lot further than truck drivers, and that should've been obvious to anybody not blinded by some reality-denying ideological belief.

125 I think it bears mentioning that this will inevitably increase the cost of freight and thus, will increase the cost of everything. Just like energy prices increase the cost of everything - there is nothing that is mined, harvested, collected, processed, manufactured, packaged and delivered without a diesel-burning truck bringing it to where its point of sale is.

Now if we could get these stubbornly high diesel prices down (I'm still paying > $4/gallon for it up here) then that will offset a huge chunk of that labor cost increase.

Such bunk. Yea, it sucks to be born in Gigolo or Shitfuckistan. Also sucks to be born ugly, or disabled, or to abusive parents, or to die young, or to be raped by Muslims from Shitfuckistan, etc.

Lotsa bad shit happens to lotsa people. Sometimes it can't be avoided. At least people born in shithole countries have an option: try to legally immigrate to the USA.

It twists my nuts when I hear "empathy" being singled out for those born in shithole countries. I always suspect its an op to try to push more open-borders bullshit.

I have an affinity with liberty, not libertarianism and one of the great myths is that the Founders were libertarians--they weren't.

The vanished concept of Ordered Liberty envisaged a religious people using society to police bad behavior and instill virtue in the youth instead of the instant resort to laws.

If you can dig it up on the internet, George Washington "George Washington's Rules of Civility & Decent Behavior in Company and Conversation" which he derived from French Jesuits and other sources, is an insight into how that man desired self improvement rather than license. Order through a society of individuals seeking self improvement rather than license.

He's going through the green card process to become a citizen but he still had to leave the country for something like 60 days to renew his visa and he had a bunch of trouble getting his visa renewed to come back in. Missed the entire preseason and training camp because of it. I understand that its a long and tedious process and I do think that there is room to optimize that process but immigration is such a heated political football that it will never get done.

Yes, the whinging about paying more for one's freight while ignoring the shifted costs for others is a classic bullshit argument. Systems approach means that when one seller and buyer subvert laws to get a cheaper deal, the external costs of that transaction gets pushed on others outside that golden relationship. Welfare, truck accidents by unqualified drivers causing maiming and injury, voter id fraud, etc. all to enrich the seller and buyer at the expense of others.

Despicable. Same goes for the AWFLs employing illegals for home services and only a little different in kind to the Democrat slavers of old. Wanting cheap labor so the Democrats don't have to move their asses from the sofa yet have the work done they wanted on the cheap.

253 Delaware County: As a whole, the county has seen significant demographic shifts, with the Black population growing and the White population declining. A significant percentage of county residents are foreign-born, and a wide array of support services have been established in response. (AI Overview)

It's not that the Black population is growing, it's that the growth is from African, Caribbean and other foreign communities, and most affecting the older "forever" county population - both Black and White - in housing, services, medicine, etc. (Yes, gentrification)

The Tighty Whiteys support both the influxes & the protests for environment justice in places such as Chester & Eddystone, PA, along the Delaware River, all the while creating waterway links for posh Swarthmore and Nether Providence residents and the very best green spaces in Media and Broomall for themselves, and all causing county taxes to be raised beyond many residents' payment capabilities, even with financial relief. (Good news, they'll just take the home once you pass.)

Former immigrant visa officer here. The average wait for a legal immigrant visa to the US is 8 years, and for most it's more like 10 -15. Why? Because illegals are cutting in line. The processing of all the affidavits/background/medical investigations takes a long time - usually 18 months - and because cutting in line is rewarded, that is what far too many do. Especially the ones who would NEVER be awarded a immigrant visa because they can't pass the financial/criminal background checks. I was immensely proud to hand over the final papers to men and women who had waited for them patiently, in several cases, in war zones where they were being targeted specifically, because they wanted to be AMERICANS. Let's reward the folks doing it the correct way over the cheaters, how about?

292 I am disappointed that when illegals are pulled over and caught, the truck and its cargo are not forfeit. That should be the first thing done after the driver is deported. Then, on top of losing the truck and contents, criminal charges should be brought against the owner.
Posted by: Thomas Paine at October 13, 2025 11:05 AM (1S6X6)

I suspect in many cases, it's hard to know if the consignor and consignee are aware that freight brokers placed their cargo with a crooked trucking company which employs illegals. And what if the cargo is perishable, like fresh veggies, frozen food, or livestock? Why destroy value, and cause huge disruption, and maybe loss of jobs for innocent people.

Arrest the bogus drivers, put a legit driver in the seat to finish the run, and then seize the truck.

Locally, I don't understand how I know of people (US citizens) marrying undocumented immigrants - some with histories of criminal behavior in the US - and there are little to no barriers in such unions and then them getting health insurance, drivers licenses, etc. through the spousal connection. Further, if and when the criminals are caught, they're entitled to the best of care and legal consideration, and the spouse get no punishment.

Why give me a vehicle that can go 130 mph and only allow me to go 65mph .

Seriously it has to do with the maximum safe speed for the vehicle - which is 1/2 its top speed. Since some roads in TX have an 85 mph speed limit - we see new cars which have a top speed of 170. A car that is safe at 85 has to be much better built than a car with a maximum safe speed of 60 - better brakes, better tires, better handling.

They have to be trained by previous data.
That means they'll always eventually encounter something they haven't been trained on and won't have a clue how to do it or the ability to figure it out on their own.

There's video out there of robot traffic jams in Amazon warehouses because two or three robots come close to each other and keep moving in each other's way trying to get around the other.

AI is great for the routine and predictable, but at this point in time they are terrible for jobs that require actually thinking through a problem and solving it without humans aiding them.

Some day I'd like to read a real break-down on just how far from fixable Mexico really is. "Back in the day" I used to read reports how an incredibly small number of families owned more than 80% of the economy. That was a decade or two ago. I imagine with the cartels and the marxism that situation has only gotten worse. Its my non-statistical guess that the only way to "fix" Mexico would be through a complete overthrow of the government, and those only seem to happen FROM the Marxists and not TO the marxists.

13 The date of 1519 on this badly damaged portrait indicates that, if it represents Columbus, it was painted posthumously. An explanation may come, however, from the visit of Columbus’s son to Rome in 1516–17, where the highly regarded artist Sebastiano del Piombo would have been an appropriate choice to memorialize his father.

51 I don't have much admiration for Columbus as a person. He was kind of a confidence man, and fell afoul of his patroness, Queen Isabella.

That said, he was enormously brave and a superb navigator, and his discovery of the New World (even though he always thought that it was still part of the Old) was the most significant event in secular world history.

53 No idea if this is Columbus, of course. Given Columbus' dates, Piombo would have been very young to capture a living portrait. I wonder if the artist was working from some earlier portrait. This shows Piombo's great talent for realism but it is so plain and muted compared to his many other paintings which burst with brilliant color, even his stand alone portraits. The history behind this portrait would be interesting.

Having said that, this portrait of a serious, determined man is very effective and fits with the popular image of Columbus as a driven explorer.

He brought Christianity to the New World. Before that, the natives knew nothing but human sacrifice, cannibalism, and slavery. While the Conquistadors failed in eliminating slavery (and even promoted it), they stomped out the human sacrifice and cannibalism. Millions of the natives converted to Catholicism.

He marched right up to Isabelle demanding ships and cargo,
He said he'd be a son of a gun if he didn't bring back Chicago.

Said Isabelle to Ferdinand I think the fellows crazy.

"Just wait a bit," said Isabella. "Let's not forget essentials,
For I've a mind to think this out And check on his credentials."

118 I helped spark a huge uproar within my employer last year when the C-Suite sent out some "Happy Indigenous People's Day" spam email. I advised that was not the name of the Federal holiday, and they had stolen a holiday from a Catholic Italian. The Suits suddenly got swarmed by a bunch of angry emails from the worker-bees.

This year, the C-Suite sent out an anodyne email about celebrating an (un-named) Federal holiday!

144 Today we celebrate the National Day of Christopher Columbus, established in 2004 to honor one of the greatest Italians that Italy can boast of.

With his extraordinary journey 533 years ago, Columbus gave the world another world. He conceived an adventure that no one else before him had imagined. He sailed to the West, beyond the confines of the world known at the time. A “new Ulysses”, who was not shipwrecked but who succeeded in one of the most glorious feats of all time. A feat that marked the transition from the Middle Ages to the Modern Age, rewrote geography and changed political, cultural and economic relations between peoples.

The voyage of Columbus laid the foundations of that indissoluble bond that unites the two sides of the Atlantic, Europe and America, and which represents the core of what we call the West.Not a physical or geographical space, but a system of values that we want to defend and preserve. Our mission is not to tear down the statues of the past and erase the heroes who shaped our identity, but to add our statues and heroes to that story, with pride and humility. ...

From the article:

To qualify for discharge, borrowers typically must have made roughly 20 to 25 years of payments, depending on loan origination.

...

Income-Based Repayment is one of four major federal programs that tie monthly payments to income and family size. Payments are typically set at 15 percent of discretionary income for most, or 10 percent for new borrowers after July 1, 2014.

After 20 or 25 years, any remaining balance is forgiven.

While I could wish that loans that big weren't given out where they couldn't be reasonably repaid, given that student loans cannot be discharged in bankruptcy, this doesn't seem unreasonable.

Who?

American activist, author, and investigative journalist. He is a founding editor of the online news publication The Intercept and author of Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army, which won the George Polk Book Award. His book Dirty Wars: The World Is a Battlefield was adapted into a documentary film which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and was nominated for the 2014 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. In July 2024, he left The Intercept and, together with Ryan Grim and Nausicaa Renner, founded Drop Site News.

Based on cursory further reading, he left Intercept to form Drop Site because The Intercept was anti-Israel enough.

He's talking his book. And he can blow me.

171 You have to have mush for brains to think Columbus discovered America.

There seems to be good evidence that the Norse were here before him. People have found Ogham writing all across the US.

The Welsh even have a case with Madoc.

The Knights Templars may have hid their gold in the US, and there is the famous Westford Knight.

There's some speculation that Marco Polo visited the American West with Chinese mariners while on a year long voyage to Japan.

Up until the early 20th century there was supposedly an Egyptian obelisk in the Mississippi Delta as a navigational buoy.

There's the Bat Creek Stone which may be Assyrian in origin.

None of those, even if true (and we know that the Norse did make it here), really counts, because those supposed "discoverer" did nothing with their knowledge of the New Worl, and (again, with the limited exception of the Norse) did not spread that knowledge to the rest of the world.

Only Columbus did that (even if, ironically, he thought the New World was just part of the Old). Therefore, his discovery is the only one that counts.

Posted by: Mister Ghost at October 13, 2025 10:27 AM (TGPs7)

Columbus' discovery changed the world due to what came after him. This cannot be denied.

The Vikings probably made it all the way to North America but nobody knew about it except a few Scandinavians who moved to Iceland.

There were more than likely others who made it to the Western Hemisphere before him, but precisely zero of them had the impact that Columbus and his crew did.

That's why he's remembered, regardless of what we have learned since then about previous explorers.

he did
Chris got off the boat at Plymouth rock, where he was greeted by a friendly band of Fukawi indians. Then they had the first Thanksgiving, after which there was a spirited game of sport. The rules were unclear, but it later became football.
Columbus then set about establishing pizza franchises throughout the land.
The rest is history.

ICE gov, June 14, 2018 Philadelphia, 'Third stolen Christopher Columbus letter returned to the Vatican'

WILMINGTON, Delaware — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Homeland Security Investigation (HSI) Philadelphia special agents and U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Delaware returned Thursday a more than 500-year-old copy of Christopher Columbus’ letter describing his discoveries in the Americas to the Vatican during a repatriation ceremony at the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana (the “Vatican Library) in Vatican City. The letter, originally written in 1493, was stolen from the Vatican Library and later sold in 2004 for approximate$875,000. This is the third Christopher Columbus letter repatriation in the past two years.

I'm not particularly opposed to an "Indigenous People's Day" but the Devil is in the details. Rather than steal a day from another group, the "Indigenous Peoples" need to do the hard work of lobbying the U.S. Congress to establish a holiday.

- The Mugharrarun of Islamic Lisbon (they recorded their progress... to the Sargasso Sea, then fled back east, probably hitting up the Canaries before returning home)
- Basque and Catholic-Lisbon fishermen, scouting the South American coast, which they named "Brasil" after legendary "Hy-Brasil"
- Norse again, made the Azores an encampment for their raids on Islamic Portugal and Morocco (Norse and Danish mice found on the islands)

So a passel of near misses.
The Sargasso Sea was a serious barrier, the "Bermuda Triangle" of the middle ages. It stank, the wind didn't blow, the sea was thick and full of sharks. Islamic and Carthago-Roman naval tech was designed for Med and Atlantic Coast work, not to cross the Atlantic. The Norse had trouble too.

I said $30k is the average student loan balance not the cost of college. You have to factor in parental contributions, summer jobs, scholarships, etc.

My State U is about $20 all in a year for in state students. For kids with good grades that gets cut in half with scholarships. So $40-80k all in depending on grades. $30k in loans, summer job, mom and dad contribute some and there you go.

The Morning Report — 10/13/25

Good morning kids. I am absolutely overjoyed that the long suffering hostages in the clutches and maw of the anti-human, satanic Islamic barbarians are at long last freed and that their friends and relatives can embrace them, and their suffering has also come to an end, and that even the remains of the dead victims have been returned so that their families can have some sort of closure, cold comfort as that may be.

With all of that said, the two questions that Israelis and indeed everyone in the civilized world must ask themselves; First, what did it cost them? And then, what comes next?

The arithmetic of this exchange should give everyone pause. Israel will release over 1,700 Palestinian prisoners, including 250 serving life sentences for the most heinous acts of terrorism. These aren’t stone-throwers or protesters. These are the architects of the Park Hotel Passover massacre, the planners of the Sbarro pizzeria bombing, the orchestrators of attacks that turned school buses into crime scenes. Each has blood on their hands and expertise in their heads.
Hamas is trading 48 hostages—20 living and 28 dead—for 1,700 experienced operatives—a massive force multiplication that transforms tactical defeat into strategic victory. Every released prisoner returns to Gaza or the West Bank as a hero, a symbol of resistance, armed with years of additional training and burning with renewed purpose.
History provides a grim preview of what comes next. Yahya Sinwar, the architect of October 7, spent 22 years in Israeli prison studying Hebrew, analyzing Israeli society, planning his revenge. Released in the 2011 Shalit deal among 1,026 other prisoners, he used his freedom to orchestrate the deadliest day in Israel’s history. Today, Israel is releasing another generation of potential Sinwars.

In all fairness, I was not held hostage nor were any of my loved ones, so who am I to criticize this deal when these poor people can at long last see the sunlight and feel the embrace of their loved ones.

But as this essay notes and quite correctly, it is not a question of "IF" but of "WHEN" the next and likely even bloodier 10/7 happens. And given the nature of Islam and its 1500-year plague on humanity and civilization have shown, it and its adherents will never cease in their quest to not merely wipe out every Jew in Israel, but every non-believer on Planet Earth until the entire world submits to Islam. Just as a reminder, the very word Islam itself translates as "Submission." And no, not some philosophical metaphor but literal submission of body, mind and soul to Islam or else death.

It is indeed a joyous day when the innocents can taste freedom. But to unleash the bestial adherents of Satanic Islam on the world as the price of this, It is a price that in my estimation that should not have been paid.

It certainly is understandable in terms of Israeli politics as to why Bibi Netanyahu agreed to this. Israelis were sick and tired of both having to waste more and more blood and treasure dealing with Gaza and fed up with the lack of any progress in freeing the hostages via conventional military means as well as the spectacular ops against both Iran and Qatar.

President Trump like any decent human being wanted to put an end to the bloodshed and do what he could to free the hostages but certainly his desire to burnish his legacy as well as quite justifiably stick it to the institutional diplomatic peace process stooges who have spent decades isolating Israel and rewarding its enemies while failing utterly in promoting anything remotely resembling real peace and stability in the Middle East and anywhere in the world.

So as both Bibi and Trump crow about the release of the hostages, their prognostications about the Abraham Accords and a rosy future for the region I fear will be for naught, given the nature of Islam.

Unless and until the demonic bloodthirsty aims and goals which are spelled out plainly and clearly in the Koran and Hadith and recited from the podia of every mosque great and small wherever Muslims live every Friday and Five times a day whenever that hideous screeching call to prayer is blasted from the minarets, Are articulated to the public and the leaders of the Civilized (i.e. non-Muslim non-Leftist) world loudly and consistently demand every Muslim denounce and renounce them, there will never be peace.

Despite George W. Bush's pig-ignorant lunacy of declaring we are not at war with Islam even as the ruins of the World Trade Center were smoldering months after the 9/11 attack. ISlam certainly was and remains in a state of war with the world. Period, full stop.

There will only be peace in the Middle East and the world as a whole when the practice of Islam goes the way of the Dodo. And like that one vial of smallpox, only one copy of the Koran is left, locked away in a vault somewhere so that it can be studied only as a warning for future generations to guard against.

Ditto, Leftist/ Communist/ Socialist/ Progressivism.

Stories of Democrats’ violence against Americans have become regular. And yes, I meant to say it exactly that way. I can’t think of a single Democrat who’s said or done anything in the last ten or twenty years (maybe longer) to make America safer, stronger, more prosperous, or more united. Once upon a time, we might have been able to say Democrats and Republicans disagreed on the best way to achieve the same desired end-state. No more. Democrats are hell-bent on taking the country down and assaulting or even murdering anyone who stands in their way.
Examples abound. From miscellaneous civilians to bureaucrats to media figures and celebrities all the way up to elected officials, Democrats are escalating political violence and posing real threats to Republicans and the principles of a free society.

Death to Islam. Death to Leftism. May God open the hearts, minds and souls to the evil that has possessed them so that they may reject them and repent their evil ways, lest they suffer eternal damnation, and perhaps the righteous retribution at the hands of all of us that they seek to destroy.

If that is the choice they make, may we wield a terrible swift sword of justice and smite them once and for all.

Happy Columbus Day one and all, as we celebrate a brave and intrepid soul who discovered a new world and paved the way for the spread of Civilization to this hemisphere and laid the foundation for the greatest nation on the face of the earth to be born. GOd bless America now and always!

Have a good day!

And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

Lessons learned for Israel, at least.

It’s my hope that Hamas is a spent force, and maybe the Gazans have learned some very hard lessons as well.

There won’t be true peace until they can break the cycle of revenge passed on to the next generation.

If not, it’s just a time to rebuild and regroup before the next round of war begins for everybody in the region.

36 Honestly, I don't think Trump is in this game for legacy; all you need to do is revert to his absolutely outstanding 2017 speech in Saudi to Arab leaders.

"Drive them[radicals] out of your places of worship. Drive them out of your communities. Drive them out of your holy land, and drive them out of this earth"

Nothing has changed other than 'republicans' continuing to try to fracture MAGA.

Every country is involved in every country; we have been fvcking around everywhere for 70 years now and Trump is simply trying something different.

37 Scenes from coming attractions.

Trump will make examples of Deep Blue Enclaves including Chicago, home of Alinsky and his acolytes Hillary and Obama. He'll torch Pritzker and the Mayor.

Antifa's funding will be traced to NGOs and the likes of Soros. This is already underway, as Antifa has been declared a foreign terrorist organization.

If ICE agents get killed -- and I expect some will -- it's grounds for Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act.

105 Layoff Targets: 4,100 federal employees had been laid off

The most significant layoffs took place at the Treasury Department, with 1,446 employees receiving RIF notices Friday.

The latest in politics and policy. Direct to your inbox.

The Department of Health and Human Services also saw major cutbacks, with roughly 1,100 to 1,200 employees affected, the filing states.

Friday’s RIFs also impacted approximately 466 Education Department employees, 442 Department of Housing and Urban Development employees, 315 Commerce Department employees, 187 Energy Department employees and 176 Department of Homeland Security employees.

Together, the counts mean at least 4,100 government staffers learned Friday they were losing their jobs.

It does not include upward of 30 staffers at the Environmental Protection Agency who were informed Friday they may soon be laid off and 126 staffers at the federal patent office who lost their jobs the first day of the shutdown.

113 I wonder if Trump's deal has an 'or else' clause. Because these Hamassholes will likely be up to their old tricks sooner or later. You can't negotiate with a people whose belief system mandates lying and double-crosses.
Trump's deal is a sincere effort, but this isn't over.

Although be aware, some of the extra RIFs were mistakes...like folks make here, CDC thought all non-essential were not needed and RIF'd 1200...but then rehired 600 12 hours later when they realized those folks were actually needed, just not in an emergency (which is all who can work now).

So, CDC was 600 RIFs in real numbers...

132 Islamic jihadists just want to kill Jewish people. It's their only desire, their motivating factor, they are single minded in their goals and ambitions.

Which is what makes it so curious that every time a new "radical, fundamentalist Muslim leader" takes over an Arab nation they spend all their time slaughtering Christians and other Muslims, and never Jews.

And every time the current Muslim dictator (I.e. Gaddafi, Hussein, et al) get toppled, it's the Christians that get cleansed.

136 The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is asking its enforcement attorneys and a small team of examiners to flag investigations that uncovered potential “debanking” of customers based on religious or political beliefs, even as the agency’s fair lending and other enforcement efforts have largely screeched to a halt.

CFPB enforcement attorneys received an email Sept. 26 instructing them to “identify current and past investigations where we obtained information related to an entity’s reasons for refusing to open accounts, freezing accounts, or closing accounts.”

The review is tied to President Donald Trump’s August executive order that required federal banking regulators to stop what the president and his allies consider unlawful denial of banking services, according to the email obtained by Bloomberg Law.

I don’t think Trump is some kind of God. He is capable of making mistakes, we know this. That said, I don’t believe for a minute that he fully trusts those in Palestine. The difference here is other Arab Nations telling them they are not supportive of them and they need to knock it off. I also hope the invisible ink agreement is when Hamas does something dumb, everyone is keenly aware they will be blown into the dustbin of history. I hate this for the small number of normal people there, like all 2 of them. Also babies and children who didn’t ask for this at all, but war is ugly and it’s why it’s the last resort, not the first.

Also, as much as I hate to note it, we do need to be strategic in that area with Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Because they really should be the ones to help send Hamas to meet their makers. I can dream.

184 This whole "shutdown" and mass firing of Federal employees is... complicated. The current round of RIF's do trim some 4000+ employees. But, if/when funding is restored, and at a level that any affected agency, bureau or department can support rehiring, they will.

I think Trump and his team's next phase in the shutdown will be to trim budgets to the point where RIF'ed employees cannot be rehired with whatever money said entity has on hand. Assuming some FedGov entities are not totally dissolved. Which is a much longer pull for this administration.

Oh, and Congress gets paid throughout this ordeal anyway... so why should they care how long it goes on. Their pissing and moaning is all for show.

“We just created the most number of billionaires…we could do this. But it’s gonna take some re-imagining of what America is. What our economic system is.”

Of course it will be broken, it’s designed to be broken. Hamas will never disarm, but that’s not Stage 1, which is the return of the hostages. Once the hostages are back, Israel has what it wanted more than anything. Stages 2 - 20 were to benefit the Palestinians.

What I've read is that the RIFs are being based on programs/projects, so that they end the project/program when it's workers are let go. If it were an across the board RIF, each project/program leader could hire back -- but not when the program leader, and its funding(?), is cut.

While that is probably true, the FAA has routinely had issues with ATC staffing levels and always complains about "stress" as their job, by nature, is "stressful."

The last time they had to worry about being fired was when they walked off their jobs, and were fired.

224 A few more thoughts on Israel...

I fully support their right to exist in the Middle East, though based on ancient land ownership and continued existence in a specific geographic area, you might have a case for giving the US back to the Indians.

And they are surrounded by a lot of bat shit crazy neighbors with murderous intent, so they have a right to defend themselves.

But the Greater Israel thingy is not our problem and we should not be supporting them with our tax dollars or military

Civilizations rise to fall in the Middle East, so if they want to annex more land, well, it happens, but it is not our burden, fiscally or militarily.

And I want them out of the political/socio process here, much too much influence.

🚨 BREAKING: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent SCORCHES China for announcing aggressive export controls that would strain global economies on the same day as President Trump's Gaza peace deal

"Trying to get leverage in front of a meeting with Donald Trump is a BAD IDEA! [Trump] turned the tables with his two very good tweets on Friday, talking about raising tariffs and implementing any sanctions that we need to."

"Maybe it was a MISTAKEN attempt to try to gain leverage before the two leaders meet in Korea in October."

"The Chinese are VERY big on symbolism! I can tell you was HIGHLY inappropriate for them to announce these export controls on the day that the peace deal was announced and overshadow that."

"The Chinese economy is doing very poorly. Maybe they're trying to take focus off that. The US is pushing for peace, China is financing WAR, purchasing Russian oil, Iranian oil...maybe it was to distract from that."

So what did Columbus unleash with the discovery of what has become America?

Thus far, it has become the most exceptional country on this planet, populated with an extraordinary people who are governed, not ruled by a political system unique in history.

It has further demonstrated an ability to meet and prevail over issues that can and have destroyed lesser countries, with an unbroken record of success. This ability has become part of our heritage of continuing the struggle of our predecessors to ensure our Republic endures. As it has done, and will continue to do.

So you hold that head HIGH and PROUD, because you are Americans--it is indeed your heritage to do so.

Daily Tech News 13 October 2025

Top Story

Hackers breached a service used by Discord to verify users' age and identity and leaked 70,000 ID documents. (BBC)

Money quote:

Some online commentators have claimed that the data breach was bigger than Discord has revealed.
That was a week ago.
Hackers now claim to have stolen 2.1 million ID documents from Discord in a 1.5TB data breach. (Notebook Check)

Yes, that is bigger than 70,000.

Tech News

TP Link has confirmed successful WiFi 8 trials. (Tom's Hardware)

This couldn't possibly end badly.
Broacom has announced the Tomahawk 6 switch chip, proving 64 ports of 1.6Tb Ethernet. (Serve the Home)

That's... Rather a lot.
The Curl project, which has lately been overwhelmed with garbage bug reports generated by AI, just received another 50 AI-generated reports. (The Register)

These ones were not garbage, though.
Can we stop with all this AI bubble talk? (Yahoo)

No. I don't think we can.
The Orange Pi 6 Plus has more than a raspberry. (Liliputing)

Eight Arm A720 cores, up to 64GB of RAM, dual 5GB Ethernet ports, and two M.2 slots for storage.

That's not a low-end device.

4 Clarence! Damn your eyes! Read the content - such a rookie mistake.

Congrats on the 1st - haven't had one in a long while.

Regarding the content - I do think we need to keep taking about the AI bubble bursting, as it seems to me to be the most over-rated thing I have ever seen. In certain industries/areas it will be very useful - in others, not so much. It is a tool - nothing more - and that tool that is only as good as the people who use it or the information base it is mining for information. It is also NOT artificial Intelligence in its current form, period. Which is why the entire discussion annoys me. It should eb called "Advanced, Limited-Learning Algorithm & User Interface" or "ALAUI", if you are an acronym guy.

Signs and chants against Israel. We were the only 3 white faces. We got out of that quickly. I get up early before the sun is up and go walking alone, I haven't felt unsafe at all which surprised me.

34 This was willowed on the tech thread yesterday, on the topic of Amazon deals; seems useful:

213 There is an addon you can get for your browser called Keepa which will show you a price graph over time on the item description page at the Amazon site.

It is very good to see if you are getting an actual deal on the item. You can also set price alerts on the same page so you will be notified if the item hits the price point you want.

There is also a CapitalOne addon which will compare the Amazon price to other sources like ebay and tell you if it finds a lower price. It picks the wrong item sometimes but that is easy enough to see and it offers other incentives like cash back etc...

Between those two addons I have save a ton of money.

63 Mornin' Horde.

I feel bad for the discord users who were forced by their countries age-verification laws to submit identity documents to a company who clearly didn't have proper protection of that information in place.

A sensible law would state that companies need to keep track of the date an age verification was done, and what identity instrument was used, and which employee did the verification, and ONLY that. Any submitted images from the holder of the identity documents should then be immediately erased to protect the holder from such a hack that puts them at risk of identity theft.

That wasn't done, of course, because governments can't trust people or companies, so they require proof (ongoing) that the identity verification was done properly, so those images get held, and if done insecurely (as is obviously the case with Discord) now a subset of Discord's users are at risk of loans being opened in their name, phone sims being cloned, bank accounts accessed and cleaned out and other nefarious things.

Governments were warned. They didn't listen, and here we are, and it's only a few months since these idiotic laws started going into force across the world.

The hacking of these mandated systems was planned as soon as the laws were proposed. It is not who did it as much as how many did. That includes the governments who required the identification record.

It is just like smuggling. When the King ordered something to be forbidden, it was usually insiders at court who organized the smuggling.

76 President Trump has been in office for 9 months. He has done more in that time than most presidents do in 8 years. Yeah, I pointedly looking at Bathhouse Barry who is so petty he wouldn't give Trump credit for today and hopefully a peace that will persist. As for Biden I shudder to think if the left managed to steal a second term for him; a major global conflict was not out of the question. But President Trump, a man who may have a century of consequences, withstood a withering test for that second term and in 9 months has set the stage for a renewal of American global leadership and renewal of America itself. This man may be our greatest president.

77 The A-Ha song wasn’t very popular at first, but the video playing on MTV made it explode on the charts after the group had released two previous versions in 1984 and 1985, it finally hit the charts in October of 1985.

Nobody had seen anything like the video before and it won several MTV Music Awards in 1986 for the concept and animation. This was also the second video made for the song as the first didn’t help it much either.

I certainly remember watching it back then.

Trump isn’t afraid of making a decision quickly and decisively.

Most presidents, Obama especially, would take weeks or months to come to a decision on everything except what to eat for lunch.

Trump doesn’t have time for that, and his only political worry is the mid-terms next year, as he won’t have to run for re-election and isn’t worried about repercussions.

Trump moves at the speed of Trump.
America hasn’t seen the likes of such a persona as president since Teddy Roosevelt over a century ago.

91 Early morning participation amongst the horde is not meeting my expectations. Set your alarm if you have to.

92 There's a crazy person running around the Knesset audience. Jeez.

93 My heat just stopped. For a moment I thought it was an assassination attempt.

95 PDT didn't even flinch.

96 I bough a pair of trash cans from Amazon last year to make it easier on my Dad to throw away stuff with one sitting next to him.

They are the kind with sensors that open up a lid when you wave your hand over them. They are light-powered and work pretty well for what they are.

But there’s one odd quirk with them,
Apparently, the sensor is also picks up radio signals on a certain frequency which I have no clue about.

If you point the Dish remote its way and turn the volume up, the lid will open on the trash can.

I now have a remote controlled trash can in case I ever want to play trash can basketball without getting up.

97 I wonder what the protester was on about in the Knesset just now?

Note for the ages -- this on e was considered to be the bottom of the comments.

99 I like the way Trump always thanks his team.
Most just do a list of names.
Trump takes time to praise his people individually.

106 Trump learned from his first term picks . They were all Republican establishment the first tit around and they played their games. This time he has his own people and they're doing pretty well this far

And Teddy got a Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts.
I wouldn’t doubt that Trump wants that prize to be on Teddy’s level more so than to outdo Obama getting one for being half black and not being named George W. Bush.
Posted by: SpeakingOf

Recall, too, that Barky O'Bumbles took his having received said prize as the starting gun for him to run guns into Mexico, to destabilize Libya, to gleefully play "Whom shall I obliterate with a drone strike today?" day after day, and many, many other acts of egregious violence that are often affiliated with bringing about states of peace.

He is mostly staying on script. During his first campaign I watched many of his speeches. When he started he was halting and stilted and by the time we got to the night before the election that man could light up an audience. He is really on message today and is 100% himself. Yeah. It is perfect DJT.

And Benghazi, which was all the fault of a terribly made YouTube video.

His only decisive moment was killing Bin Laden and Biden was telling him not to do it.

What a pair of numbnuts.

How is it that that young woman in the music video did not see that the guy was sketchy? He's Norwegian, for Pete's sake!

Biden served as a mouthpiece sent by higher and eternal powers that told us, "Here is the wrong side of History, and this is its Prophet."

"All Iraq is divided into three parts."

122 "The Stakes Are Enormous": Intel's Bet On Its New "18A" Process Could Make Or Break The Company

123 Apparently, the sensor is also picks up radio signals on a certain frequency which I have no clue about.
If you point the Dish remote its way and turn the volume up, the lid will open....
Posted by: SpeakingOf
-------
The volume control on your dish remote is not a radio signal. The remote radio signals control the satellite box. The remote signal for volume is controlling your TV via infrared. To test this, put your hand over the end of the remote and push the channel up button. That is a function of the sat box, is a radio signal so it will change the channel. Keep you hand over the end of the remote and push the volume up button. Your hand easily blocks the IR Led and the volume won't change.
Your trash can detects the heat from your hand when you wave it above the IR detector on the can. Pointing the remote and sending the IR pulses at it evidently provides enough IR energy to the detector that it thinks a hand is above it.
