I stopped buying/burning candles when they started being made of whipped paraffin. I suppose the industry has found a cheap additive, to replace the 'incorporation of air' process, and/or sh1ttier wick material?

Your first world problem is that you're running out of liquor-oriented glasses. Mine is that I have too many.
Two people in my life never used their fancy glasses so they gave them to me. One set is a cheapish collection of about 8 goblets, the other is some crystal-like engraved set of tiny little sippers suitable for liqueurs that no one drinks. I was cleaning house yesterday and finally threw away all my old college papers that I myself haven't read in mumblety years so why do I think they'll be precious heirlooms, and I rounded up all the glasses and put them in my car to drop off the next time I'm driving by the Goodwill or the Cancer Society store.
There's a Useless Stemware Distribution System in the first world. Pay attention, people. The threat is real.

I noticed. They're like cheap crayons. Vietnamese jar candles are okay, but not cheap. The "crackling wicks" are wood and burn fast.
I bought boxes of 8-hour tealights made from palm wax with cotton wicks. Each isn't strong enough to read by, but three in front of a mirror is perfect.

It ain't cheap, but it's fun. My first candle was mix of leather and I forget what else but I was going for my favorite smell in all the world: New baseball glove.
My son is from Oregon so I did him a candle of rain, patchouli, and cannabis. My sister is a crazy but not leftist cat lady so I put together something to mask that odor.

Oddly enough, the cheapest candle I could find to stick in my jack-o-lantern last Halloween was a sickly-scented thing in a little glass. Perfect for putting in a pumpkin, because I didn't have to carefully prop it up with toothpicks.
The thing burned all night. Half of it was left. Being me, I had no choice but to bring the rest of it back in the house and put it in a drawer to use THIS year.
Every time I open that drawer, its sickly scent wafts through the house. A long year of patient suffering will be rewarded this October 31 when it lights another jack-o-lantern and burns all the way!

Nothing To See Here! Please Disperse!
Apparently The Murder Of Christians Is Perfectly Okay With The UN And The World!
Well, of course! They aren't downtrodden Muslims or transsexuals or leftists, so really, who cares! And besides, they are the worst kind of Christians...they actually take Christianity seriously!
This is nothing more than a continuation of Islam's 1,400 year war against Western Civilization. When Islam is powerful...it kills and conquers. When it is weak...it is obsequious and slithery and migratory. But the goal is the same: to subvert Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc., by any means at their disposal. Christian persecution in Nigeria: 1,200 churches destroyed annually, hundreds killed Over 8,000 Christians killed in Nigeria in 2023, watchdog estimates 7,000 Christians Have Been Killed in Nigeria This Year, Group SaysOver 50,000 Christians killed in Nigeria by Islamist extremists
Over 50,000 Christians have been killed in Nigeria since the outbreak of the Boko Haram Islamist insurgency in 2009, a newly-released report published by a Nigerian non-governmental organization has revealed.
And that is two and a half years ago. It has gotten much worse. The conspicuous ignorance of the world media, and the vicious fixation on Israel's defensive war against militant Islam is a stark reminder that Western religions are despised, and their adherents are considered expendable in the post-modern war against everything traditional. Wars against religions are acceptable at the United Nations, as evidenced by their obsessive hatred of every Israeli attempt at defense of the Jewish state, and their disinterest in doing anything about the Muslim war on Christians in Nigeria and elsewhere. But the world rushes to the defense of Islam when it is countered, which suggests that Islam is not a religion, but is a revolutionary political philosophy that uses religion to control its adherents. Communism is similarly protected! Christians and Jews are the primary targets of Islam. It is institutionally fixated on the devout, because they are most capable of refuting Islam's pseudo-religious dictates to conquer and kill. And like communism, Islam understands that the destruction of Western religion will destroy one of the underpinnings of Western culture. And without that culture, Islam becomes the default. But even more than religion's structural support of the West, it provides a template for the world that is far kinder to, and more respectful of the individual, which is anathema to Islam (and communism!). One of these quotations is not like the other...
I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved, so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes.-- Quran (8:12)
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.-- Matthew 7:12
You shall neither take revenge from nor bear a grudge against the members of your people; you shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.-- Leviticus 19:18
What is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow.-- Rabbi Hillel In which world would you rather live?

All Muhammad had to do was to preach some kind of moral reform, leaving theology out and certainly not teaching about banging nine year olds, and he could easily have become revered as a continuation of one faith and as a respected outsider of the others.
Take Gregory of Nyssa and his sister Macrina. They preached against slavery. They're saints in Catholicism and Orthodoxy; and I've not heard a Jew say anything bad about them. Contrast Muhammad who taught, "enslaving unbelievers? AWESOME!".

Going way out on a limb here, but I would speculate that they were genuinely shocked, initially, that the Empire told them to pound sand (sorry). There was serious religious disaffection due to a theological dispute that the southern & eastern part of the Empire was losing - and which was also a political struggle, as well; they were able to grab a several eastern provinces without a lot of effort because of that.
But Hoffer's comment about a movement turning into a business turning into a racket definitely applies. By the early 8th century, Islam was a racket.

(Allowing Antifa to rule the streets)
Portland has a very specific, localized problem.
In June, the Portland cops, under orders from Portland city government, stopped enforcing the law near Portland's ICE building, which has several apartment buildings nearby.
Antifa blasts noise at the ICE building at all hours, has repeatedly assaulted conservatives near the ICE building, and frequently harasses local residents, including stopping them and demanding ID to demonstrate that they aren't cops or conservatives.
The Portland cops do nothing about this.

BLUF: It was/is a narrative born out of unitarian, (not Trinitarian) Christianity which had been taken over by the Abbasids who were looking to unify the empire they had conquered from the Umayyids, (the non-dogmatic trinitarians).

Other than being able to field competent armies, I would suggest that the Islamic countries have been stagnant for over 1100 years, that once the West started recovering from the Dark Ages (coronation of Charlemagne) the main problem for the West was its disunity.

In January, Edge filed a similar suit against the Brunswick Medical Center, accusing it of being part of a conspiracy launched by “LGBTQ White Supremacists” who were allegedly out to get him because he survived their attack in Iraq.

Jordan Peterson used to talk about the rapid rise in Axis II disorders, which means personality disorders.
Generally, personality disorders stem from childhood abuse and neglect. Which means this is not just something that can be addressed at the level where it manifests. There needs to be a clear cause/effect discussion, about what's happening in the homes, in communities, and.... in the freaking propaganda centers (i.e. schools).

IF the home is strong enough there is nothing the schools can do. I am proof.
But then, my father took me to Berlin as a boy, when the Wall was very much a thing, and that taught me enough. I also had at that time a fourth grade teacher who was quite openly religious and whether she knew it or not was aiding my progress in becoming a virulent anti-communist.

"The moment the men who wanted to be left alone are forced to fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these men who wanted to be left alone, fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people’s door, and they will cry, scream and beg for mercy… but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the men who just wanted to be left alone.”

Abuse, neglect, directionlessness, early and overmedication, mass formation psychosis, social media, electronic device addiction, and nonstop brainwashing. We have been having our brains rewired for nonstop stimulation instead of critical thinking, higher executive function, long-term memory retention. Everything is going straight to the amygdala.

He then decided to pick up a bullhorn and say this in Spanish: "I ask to all the soldiers of the US Army don't put your hands against the people. Disobey the Trump orders. Obey the order of humanity."
Then, you'll never guess what happened next.

The homosexual pervert "president" of Colombia, which is not really a country, found out his US visa was pulled.
He went on Twitter to make things worse for himself:
"Separating the U.S. from Colombia is what the mafias need.
What the U.S. govt is doing to me breaks all the norms of immunity on which the functioning of the United Nations and its General Assembly is based.

Israel shares the same problem with the US. By trying to make 'war' humane which requires going slowly, being sure of targets, etc., you run out of the limited window of time provided by the initial outrage. Basically, people forget, ignore, etc over time things like the 10/7 terror raid as older information is replaced by newer agit prop of Muzzies being killed. So the original situation becomes inverted becuz victimhood is a fleeting emotional std. for outsiders to take your side.
We had the same issue in Afghanistan---sympathy worldwide for 9/11 that by 2022-2023 had dissipated in favor of Muzzie wedding parties getting shot up. Bystanders then are free to apply whataboutism in order to ignore and forget the original reason that war started in the first place. Instead it becomes, you are a mean bully using strength to kill poor --whatevers.
Weaponized empathy with psychopaths is especially acute in AWFLs. Example is the teachers in Chitown commemorating a killer of a State Patrol office for the Revolution who fled to Cuba to avoid being prosecuted. Forget the original victim, mourn the terrorist.

_____________________
The consanguinity isn't helping. You can go to places like the southern Egypt and northern Sudan, and the inbreeding percentage is close to 80%. The whole existence of the Muslim faith is based on segregating their peoples tribally. So, not only has inbreeding persisted on the tribal level internally within what are considered Islamic countries, they carry it with them into countries to which they emigrate. The increase in birth deformities in the UK nearly tripled over a decade with the arrival of massive Muslim immigrants.
Birth deformities are the visible aspect of that equation. Lowered intelligence, poor reasoning, and those effects associated with the brain contribute to the behavior.

It's all agendas. The politicians benefits from the unrest, the Christian leaders benefit from the outrage and the ordinary citizens get distracted from the misery and not question the leaders.
Christians definitely get killed in the North for religion. I know people who barely escaped. But tbh, Muslims also get killed there as well. It's just generally unsafe regardless of religion
Israeli and American media claiming there’s a genocide is so moronic lol. Earlier this year they claimed white genocide in South Africa.
There has been a recent CIA agenda and US psyop pushing the narrative that they are killings in Nigeria as much as what is going on in Palestine. This is just a way to brainwash people to ignore the plight of the Palestinian people. It's all a ruse, they don't care about us they are just using us to push agenda.

Putin has ran out of the moral cause for his war. And now he is paying the price. Take a look at what happened in Kalingrad the other day. Lithuania decoupled totally from the old Russian power grid and as a result, Kalingrad gets no power now.
Basically his recent border provocations of surrounding neighbors has exhausted any goodwill he might have gotten at this point and it undercuts his two friends he has in the EU like Orban and the Slovak president.
Trump has washed his hands of resolving the conflict which is now increasingly Putin v. Europe keeping the war machine turned on for no good reason other than both Zelensky and Putin probably fear what happens to them after the war machine is turned off.

When the split comes, we can draw a line, basically from Buffalo all the way down through the Carolinas. Let them have everything to the east of that, build a wall, and give anyone who lives on the other side of it a very very short amount of time during which they can prove they deserve to live on the western side.

Yes. And a huge looming crisis. By some estimates 1 in 7 adults has been prescribed or is on some sort of medication specifically for, or adjacent to medications to treat some form of mental instability/illness.
This would include tranquilizers, all the SSRI's and a host of medications given to the maladjusted to keep them quiet. Top tier estimates are around 25% of the US population is "medicated" to one degree or another.
You don't vote your way out of something like this.

A lot of this comes from the one - two punch of poor or lack of family environment and, beginning with daycare, then elementary school, radical anti-American, non-familial teaching environment.
Many of these people when placed in a rational environment will self-correct.

And here's something else to consider - mental illness has become trendy, something to be celebrated, something to be chased for clout. It's also being reframed into identity rather than a disability or disorder. This is most obvious to us in the case of autism and gender dysphoria, but we've already seen this in the case of physical disabilities as well, e.g. the "deaf community," from which you can get cast out and ostracized for getting cochlear implants. Actual treatment, amelioration, or cure is recast as an elimination of a person's identity in part or in whole. Thus the "trans genocide" and "you're killing us trans people" madness.

If one starts with the belief that politicians don't really run things, they are puppets of the money people, then you may conclude that the money people in NYC aren't going to allow ANY mayor to fundamentally ruin what they have going on.

True crime, 1980s Savannah. In an elite, gentrified district, a wealthy antique dealer shot and killed a young man in his home. This is the story of the Savannah elite, neighborhood dynamics, beautiful architecture, community secrets, gay life, trans life before it was trendy, and even some voodoo.
I'd read reviews complaining that it's boring and dry reading, but I think it's a good account of true crime that reads more like a novel than news report. I liked it.
Goodreads immediately recommended the autobiography of one of the main characters (the drag queen Lady Chablis), but I think I'll pass on that one.

One book is my personal copy of The Rules of the Game: Jutland and British Naval Command by Andrew Gordon. I went through an ILL hardback and decided the analysis was so important that I needed my own copy.
The discussion is still highly relevant to today. The USN as an organization has not had a major conflict in 80 years. Naval Aviators, Submariners, and recently a ship of two in the Red Sea or Eastern Med have faced combat. But not all together.

Very entertaining, finished it off in an all-day reading binge that put me behind on several other tasks I need to finish, but totally worth it.
Wolf and Mariella join the Royal Navy in the Kingdom of Iraklis (a kingdom composed of three star systems, outside the Empire of Solaria.) Here they 'find their better place' - Wolf had been a privateer under letter of Marque by the King, and Mariella... well, you'll learn a lot more about her in this book. She's got a major role to play in a war that's being thrust on the Kingdom by a third player.
This series will be at least three books, and knowing John, it'll probably go to 4 or 5.
It is available from Raconteur Press and Amazon. The first two books have been released in two formats: First, serialized (about 1/3 of the book at a time, every week) which is then replaced by a release of the entire book. The book has an addendum with additional detail that isn't released with the serial. Howver, if you want the story earlier, go for the serial.

Last Spring I mailed a couple stacks of comic books off to a binders, and this week, after nearly 5 months, they sent me back a package of three brand new custom-bound hardcover books! Entire comic book runs, now in a single volume. To be read in a single sitting, or just perused at me leisure. And capable of being proudly displayed on my bookshelf, rather than just squirreled away in a box!
It's so satisfying to finally have these. No matter what else is going on in my life, or in the world at large, for now I can look at these and thing that life is good!
...And since I'm happy with these, it's time to prepare the next batch of comics to be bound! I could easily see myself ending up with a full shelf of these.

Howdy, Horde.
Haven't read Moby Dick in something like 40 years and should probably revisit. Read the thing on morning and evening CTA rides from Rogers Park to work at the downtown Chicago Kroch's & Brentano's. Made the commute a lot more pleasant. When Melville spent page after page on the minutiae of whaling, I tended to skim a bit. But it's a heckuva story. And the movie with Gregory Peck and Richard Basehart ain't too dusty either.

I was up late finishing a historical fantasy that reimagines the French Revolution with magic.
Main characters are Wiliam Pitt the Younger (PM), William Wilberforce (abollitionist), Robespierrre (ya him), Camille Desmoulins, and a slave girl in the Carribean.
It's very politicial, and follows historical events pretty closely, except that in this world magic is known and ightly controlled - only aristoscrats can use it. Everyone is tested at birth, and commoners with magic are braceleted to cause pain & also alarms if they use magic.
The style is reminds me of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, but no footnotes.
It ends a bit cliffhangery and there is a sequel. It's a book you will either love or be bored with.

Wormold is a simple man who just runs a shop in Havana, and when he is tasked with finding operators to help him spy, he chooses some names at random, and invents stories from them to report back to London. His reports are believable, along with his drawing of a vacuum cleaner nozzle he labels as a weapon. London even sends agents to help him expand his operation. Unfortunately, when one of his fake sources dies, and another is shot at, the fake world becomes all too real. Instead of a joke, the situation becomes deadly.
As things spiral out of control, Wormold and his team have to try and protect the people he blithely named as spies, and find out who is trying to kill them. Greene's story is very dark humor, where the spy agencies will fall for anything, and throw money around on the slightest pretext, but will also kill without a second thought.

The main character is...surprisingly girl-bossy. She was a passenger on a ship that got taken over by pirates, but then she kills the pirate skipper and takes command for herself, instantly becoming brilliant badass at all things...That would be infuriating in a modern story, but here it's just slightly annoying. Mostly because the story is not trying to showcase her brilliance, her actions are just what push the plot forward. There are lots other, more believable (if just as eccentric) characters that take up most of the screentime. Particularly an English Privateer and his Solomon-Kane-like sidekick.
It really is a pity the comic ended prematurely.

I ordered syth-sewn binding. They unfold the comic, take out the staples, and run some thread through the fold of the comic, physically sewing each book to some connecting cloth/something that serves as the interior spine. It's a similar process to how old-fashioned books were bound. The outside edges or the books are trimmed to make the book look clean.
There are other options for glued binding, where they cut the pages at the binding (the pages probably loose an eighth of an inch or something) and then set the whole text block in glue, binding it like a paperback novel. But I went with smyth-sewn because it lets the book open better, letting you see the art all the way to the center of the page.

I'd think most writers are both. I start out with an idea and see how it goes along, then start plotting out the end game. I've never started with a plan and used it all the way through, and also never pantsed all the way through.
I started a few pages on the most recent WIP, then like a lightning bolt, the whole story popped into my head. That's never happened before. Now, I just have to finish writing it.

You might like to look at Portrait of an Admiral by Arthur Marder. The first half is the bio of the foremost intellectual naval officer of RN in that era (he founded Britain' Naval Review.) But the best part is the 2nd half which is Richmond's journal for the WWI period. He's pretty harsh on most everyone. "I think Winston is mad."

"WhaleFall", which is currently being made into a movie.
In the novel. a diver is accidentally swallowed by a Sperm Whale and the whale proceeds to die, which means the diver has to get out of the whale digestive tract before it falls to a depth where the pressure will kill him.
No, he doesn't escape that way, you perverts!
It's a good high concept sort of thing for a movie, if not terribly cinematic, cuz it turns out the inside of a whale isn't like it is in Pinocchio. Real whales are stuffed with tightly packed guts, not wrecked ships! Who knew?
Anyway, the novel would be a novella or long short story in normal hands because the solution is obvious and fairly quickly achieved, but for-
the protagonists (can you guess?) Daddy issues!!!!
So, in typical H'wood fashion most of the book is taken up with "Whyyyyy? Daddy?" cuz the guy is a failure in life, etc.
And this silliness eats up most of the novels pages and I'm sure the movie's time.
You'll be glad to know that the protag gets out by resolving his Daddy issues, and gains a new appreciation for Dad and life and the sea.
FIN
As a book, it was a slog.

"The sea was speaking to him in silence. Its message was: as your spirit rises to fill the place of appetites and illusions, take stock and be comforted, for all time is lost in the oceans and the stars. You've left behind the things of life on land that shield you from a truth the sea will not let you forget -- that you are first and last a spirit, that you are alone, and that this can be borne."

But Moby Dick doesn't work for me. No female characters. Boring.
But I think it illustrates something else about our tastes. Well, maybe just mine. I grew up in a small town in MT. Didn't go east of Minneapolis until I left for college. No way I could picture an ocean. I suspect people who grew up in New England would have as much trouble picturing the neverending-ness of the Great Plains.

I feel that I need to re-emphasize this. This is not a novel, it is an account of what actually happened, as fictionalized by Melville. The true story only starts at the moment that the whale head-butts the ship. If you are of a nautical bent, you will find it fascinating...and scary.

Ruse, El Cazador, and The Path. (All old CrossGen titles). the Path got its own volume. Ruse had to be split into two parts, with the second part going behind the all-too-short El Cazador.
I am greatly enjoying them. Even The Path; its art style never quite grabbed me, but the story is fun, and the single-volume format makes it easy to go from one issue to the next.

Are there any recommendations for actual good steampunk stories? The only times I've tried to dip into the genre, I ended up getting deconstruction/tasteless filth with a steampunk veneer. Never really got an actual good steampunk epic.
Except maybe the original Jules Verne stories. And book (It may have been called Nemo) that pretended that the historical Jules Verne had a childhood friend that actually went on many of the crazy adventures that Jules 'fictionalized' in his stories...

"Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media."
It's old, from 2018, and I am stunned by what I'm learning, and ashamed of my relative naivete about this whole issue all along. This guy is an accomplished computer scientist who worked on the team that developed the flagship commercial virtual reality products. He's got at least three other books that look to be worthwhile.
There was a massive automated astroturf messaging campaign two weeks ago, "Tyler Robinson Was MAGA," that flooded X for a whole weekend. It remained effective for days afterward in driving the narrative, for Dems anyway. I was so distressed by it that I nuked my X account. We're going to have to deal with many more of these evil automated propaganda campaigns in the future. It's scary how so many people get suckered by this vile crap.

I loved Ruse and El Cazador. Don't remember The Path, but then I didn't buy every CrossGen title.
I still have what I bought. I'm debating whether to take some runs to the secondhand book store to trade in. That would free some storage space and slightly lessen the burden on the kids, who will someday have to dispose of them in the way that I'm having to send along my late father's accumulation.

I feel that I need to re-emphasize this. This is not a novel, it is an account of what actually happened, as fictionalized by Melville. The true story only starts at the moment that the whale head-butts the ship. If you are of a nautical bent, you will find it fascinating...and scary.
Here is a link to the Goodreads reviews:

I think that's a bit misleading. It's not exactly true that Melville fictionalized the story, just that's where he got the ending. There's a lot more than that. It's not like Forrester's Sink the Bismarck.

Aye, and this is the great chasm we look across at all literature from before motion pictures. We like a concise story, and the conciser the better. All the fleshing out is done for us by cinematographers, and by actors' gesture and inflection.
When people had a lot of time on their hands, many read "By the pound"; the more detail, subplot, diversions into abstruse knowledge and side stories of the characters' past, the more entertainment they gained from those big fat triple-deckers. It's a fortunate book lover today who can take that view. We live in a different world.

But Moby Dick doesn't work for me. No female characters. Boring.
But I think it illustrates something else about our tastes. Well, maybe just mine. I grew up in a small town in MT. Didn't go east of Minneapolis until I left for college. No way I could picture an ocean. I suspect people who grew up in New England would have as much trouble picturing the neverending-ness of the Great Plains."
Wenda,
Those needles are great family heirlooms. That would be like having some of the tools my ancestors used on their Quebec farms, which I don't. You are right about location. I've never been west of the Mississippi and would be amazed at the prairies and mountains out there. But growing up in New England let me appreciate stories of whaling and sea battles. My hometown had a connection with pirates in the 1600s and 1700s which added a spark to my love for Treasure Island in second grade.
That said, I have to be in the mood for Moby Dick with the slow, incremental pace of the story and pages of description that don't advance the plot.

I am 99% of the way done with the Pickwick Papers, Charles Dicken's first novel. Its interesting, not as good or polished as, say, Bleak House or The Old Curiosity Shop but it's also less depressing, being mostly comedic. It does have some very vivid, likeable characters so he hit it out of the park there.

Having flown several PARPRO missions myself over the Sea of Okhotsk in 1989, I found the book riveting in its detailed summaries of early-to-mid Cold War U.S. reconnaissance flights gathering intelligence on the Soviets. Most disturbing, however, was the U.S. government flat out lying to family members of those who lost their lives on some of those missions.
If you're 29+ and of the Cold War age where "duck and cover" was practiced in your schools -- and you are into actual military history as opposed to historical fiction -- this book would be a good read for you.

The main driver in Michigan was the Michigan Coalition for Responsible Gun Ownership, which pushed through the change to shall-issue carry back in 1999.
Unfortunately, the term-limited GOP House Speaker decided that it would be a cushy gig and launched a coup, putting himself in charge and proceeded to do nothing but the usual lobbyist bullshit. The organizers quit, and no one has been able to pick up the pieces since, which is why Ohio - which lagged Michigan - now has Constitutional Carry and we still have the retarded pistol registry.
Meanwhile the NRA is completely invisible. Screw them.
In terms of reading, their magazines suck. First Freedom is just shameless self-promotion and The American Rifleman is too pedestrian. I get far more value collecting early editions of Smalll Arms of the World because they have the WW I stuff in it. The later ones include AKs, so you need both.

Society at all levels was much more serious then, and less obsessed with safety. Risk was an accepted part of life.
It was more moral, but less moralistic. There was an understanding that not every decision was angels vs devils.
What pisses me off the most is the revisionism where the US was the aggressor, forcing the peaceful Communists to produce 50 million AKs and send them all over the world.

Tea is actually a type of medicine or was intended as such. It’s under some study in recent years for interesting bactericidal properties. Tannins, or polyphenols, have interesting properties on gut health, killing off bad critters in our gut biome. Also shows some interesting properties against oral or gum diseases due to bacteria.

Yesterday's yard sale was a success, albeit monetarily not as much so. In the course of its four hours we disposed of many of the non-furniture items (I sold off my pair of snow shoes and on the Delmarva peninsula, no less).
As the rule in effect for our sale was, "Nothing comes back into the house to stay", the next week will see several trips to disperse the remaining items to deserving charities. The missus gas become gratifyingly open to the idea of purging our dwelling of its innumerable cluttering items.

IIRC the account is run by a couple of staffers, not Newsom himself. He does appear to approve of the content however. It's a fairly typical arrangement for a lot of politicos who have hardly any skill at using social media (like posting Xeets, making TikToc videos, etc.)

I'm about to do something I think I've never done before, which is assert every bit of whatever authority I have as the person who discovered and wrote down the rules of open source.
After ten years of drama and idiocy, lots of people other than me are now willing to say in public that "Codes of Conduct" have been a disaster - a kind of infectious social insanity producing lots of drama and politics and backbiting, and negative useful work.
Here is my advice about codes of conduct:
1. Refuse to have one. If your project has one, delete it. The only actual function they have is as a tool in the hands of shit-stirrers.
2. If you're stuck with having one for bureaucratic reasons, replace it with the following sentence or some close equivalent: "If you are more annoying to work with than your contributions justify, you'll be ejected."
3. Attempts to be more specific and elaborate don't work. They only provide control surfaces for shit-stirrers to manipulate.

I have decided to shore up my health. I will not return to driving. I have a well-developed risk analysis, but my bosses decided I was worth millions to a personal injury lawyer if I had another accident. At will employment, and out the door I go.

I have a Huron Kansas and a couple of smaller Huion digitizers, basically Wacom Bamboo equivalents. Literally; I noticed that most tablets are manufactured from the same Shinzhen plants, and the only things that set them apart is the software and fancy Wacom logo, which is really what you're paying for.
If you aren't obsessed with having Wacom branding, Huion and many of the other brands are basically the same thing without the pricetag of a mid-size sedan.

Saturday Night "Club ONT" September 27, 2025 [The 3 Ds]
Saturday Night Jokes and Other Funnies My boss was honest with me today. He pulled up to work with his sweet new car this morning and I complimented him on it. He replied, "Well, if you work hard, set goals, stay determined and put in long hours, I can get an even better one next year." *** On his 74th birthday, an old man received a gift certificate from his wife... The certificate paid for a visit to a medicine man living on a nearby reservation who was rumored to have a wonderful cure for erectile dysfunction. After being persuaded to go, he drove to the reservation, handed his ticket to the medicine man and wondered what he was in for. The old man handed a potion to him, and with a grip on his shoulder, warned, "This is a powerful medicine. You take only a teaspoon and then say '1-2-3'." When you do, you will become more manly than you have ever been in your life and you can perform as long as you want." The man was encouraged. As he walked away, he turned and asked, "How do I stop the medicine from working?" "Your partner must say '1-2-3-4,'" the medicine man responded, "but when she does, the medicine will not work again until the next full moon." The man was very eager to see if it worked so he went home, showered, shaved, took a spoonful of the medicine and then invited his wife to join him in the bedroom. When she came in, he quickly took off his clothes and said, "1-2-3!" Immediately, he was the manliest of men. His wife was excited and began throwing off her clothes as she asked "What was the 1-2-3 for?"

An effort two decades in the making has finally come to fruition for Anheuser-Busch. Despite being considered a cheap beer to avoid, according to customer reviews (and ranking near the bottom of our own taste test of America's top-selling beers), Michelob Ultra has become king of the hill among beer brands. By topping the sales by volume charts for 2025, it has ousted Modelo Especial as America's best-selling beer.Really? Michelob Ultra? Who? Serious question - does this resonate with the Horde? Do you drink Michelob Ultra or know those that do? Perfect setup for this scene from Landman
Tito’s, founded by Bert “Tito” Beveridge in 1997, has grown into one of the most recognized vodka brands in the United States. Lalo, which was founded in 2019 by Eduardo “Lalo” González, David “R” Carballido, and Jim McDermott, builds on González’s family legacy of tequila making. The brand’s blanco is distilled from Highland agave, local Jalisco water and champagne yeast.
Beveridge said the partnership grew out of shared values and a longstanding friendship.
“I’ve known the Lalo founders for a long time. They care about the juice. They keep it simple. They do things the right way, not the flashy way. That felt like home to us,” he said in a statement.
Our study was conducted in a slightly steamy pop-up laboratory inside four connected shipping containers at Lowlands Festival in The Netherlands (August 18–20, 2023). Participants completed an anonymous questionnaire on hygiene, diet, and festival-related behaviour (including alcohol uptake and shared sleeping arrangements).
Amongst the 465 included participants, mosquitoes showed a clear fondness for those who drank beer over those who abstained from the liquid gold.
The Mosquito Magnet Trial, to our knowledge the largest study of its kind, was conducted in a loosely controlled setting with a selection bias towards science loving festivalgoers. That said, using our custom designed experimental set-up, we found that mosquitoes are drawn to those who avoid sunscreen, drink beer, and share their bed. They simply have a taste for the hedonists among us.

Hard to believe, but it has been 1 year since I had my visit with my urologist to figure out why I had recurrent antibiotic-resistant UTIs.
That visit started us down the cancer rabbit hole.
Last October I had imaging done. The day before last year's Texas MoMe -which was also the weekend of my 64th birthday - I found out that I had a large mass and several smaller lesions in my liver, which (along with other indications) were suspicious for cancer.
Early last November, I was told that I did, indeed have a very aggressive type of cancer; if I did nothing I might live an additional 6 months, and even if I did something, I probably only had an additional 6-12 months left.
Through the grace of God - and the prayers of so many people - I am still here. I still don't feel sick, my tumors are shrinking, and my prognosis (knock on wood) is much improved since this time last year.
Thank you to everyone who has been following me on this journey, and to everyone who has prayed on my behalf. Your support has buoyed me and my family over these last 12 months. 😊♥️

We’re driving a Chrysler while our Sienna is in the shop—one more week! We took it on our Midwest road-trip. Mrs. QED is short of stature and finds the Chrysler especially uncomfortable. I find it to be thirsty and truck-like (not a compliment).

Hard to believe, but it has been 1 year since I had my visit with my urologist to figure out why I had recurrent antibiotic-resistant UTIs.
That visit started us down the cancer rabbit hole.
Last October I had imaging done. The day before last year's Texas MoMe -which was also the weekend of my 64th birthday - I found out that I had a large mass and several smaller lesions in my liver, which (along with other indications) were suspicious for cancer.
Early last November, I was told that I did, indeed have a very aggressive type of cancer; if I did nothing I might live an additional 6 months, and even if I did something, I probably only had an additional 6-12 months left.
Through the grace of God - and the prayers of so many people - I am still here. I still don't feel sick, my tumors are shrinking, and my prognosis (knock on wood) is much improved since this time last year.
Thank you to everyone who has been following me on this journey, and to everyone who has prayed on my behalf. Your support has buoyed me and my family over these last 12 months. 😊♥️

Next CT scan is on November 3rd, at which time the oncological surgeon is pretty sure that my tumors will be small enough for him to go in and remove the largest one surgically and blast the remaining smaller ones to smithereens.
I have had abdominal surgery in the past, so I already know what to expect in terms of recovery (although it has been 10 years since then). But this will give me the best chance of long-term survival.
I have had a "fun" year fulfilling some of the items on my bucket list - spent a LOT of money doing that, but I have NO regrets as far as that goes. Our anniversary party probably ran as much as the cruise that we cancelled - it was money well spent!

Mooses come walking up over the hill.
Mooses come walking. They rarely stand still
When mooses come walking, they walk where they will.
And mooses come walking up over the hill.
Mooses look into your window at night.
They look to the left and they look to the right.
The mooses are smiling; they think it’s a zoo.
That’s why the mooses like looking at you.
So, if you see mooses while lying in bed,
It’s best to just stay there, pretending you’re dead.
The mooses will leave, and you’ll get the thrill
Of seeing the mooses go over the hill.

I was in the forward CP and every night we had set up I would sneak the Air Officers out of camp and we wouid swing back an play OpFor, testing security etc. Nothing too serious, it almost became a 2 week game of who could spot us before we could tag them. Mainly because Air Officers are so cool, the troops relax. It 's a bit like when the strict parents leave Ocean's 11 in charge while they're out of town.
Well on this particular leg we 0-12 which really impressed me. I was so busy trying to figure out how these lazy jackwagons (HeadQuarters) had sharpened up so quickly. Someone finally busted out laughing that they could smell onions before I was even im their sector, the rascals. Gunny questioned my common sense and before I could distract (because he was on to something) our wicked smart FAC let slip that we were eating onions and radishes to better simulate the Russian OpFor (which was news to me at the time)
Anyway, no mosquitoes were harmed in this story because they cant stand onions

I remember Price Chopper and Knickerbocker or Genessee beer being $0.99/ 6 pack in upstate NY (Troy) in the late '70's.
Question for Upstate NY crowd: does Freihofer's bakery still exist? Their chocolate chip cookies were considered a delicacy !

PBR (in bottles) was my go to in California. About 10.25 for a 12 pack, but then you add that stupid CRV tax. Still the cheapest good beer available there. Of the Big 3, I could drink Miller High Life, or Genuine Draft, but they don't match PBR on price or taste.
Now that I'm in Florida, I can get Yeungling for about 25 bucks for a case. Just today, however, I found this Mexican supermarket called Bravo, and there I picked up a Polish beer called Brok. 9.99 for a 12 pack, and lemme tell ya, it reminded me of Becks when Becks was still a proper German lager. Crisp, with maybe a hint of green apple ahead of a palate-cleansing hop bite. Half-point deduction for the 11.2 oz bottle (I hate that - lookin' at you, Stella Artois). Have I mentioned lately how much I love Florida?

That is just the state government. It appears that the Unions found out that pervs were easier to control that merely corrupt politicians.
Gov Tina Kotex put out a statement today that she has no idea why Trump is putting military units in Portland, since Portland is safe and no one is in any danger there at all. She has not mentioned the nightly siege at the federal building so that is not within her definition of "danger" or "threat".

Days are really getting shorter. Here at 34.75N, we lost 62 minutes of daylight over Sept. Up higher, Seattle, it's around 1hr40m or so.
I missed the "equilux" this time, which was the 26th, the closest day and night are to 12 hours each. Around this time, maybe peaking Oct 1, here, is when twilight is the shortest. It gets dark really fast after sunset. It's the angle the ecliptic makes with the horizon. The angle of the solar dangle, you might call it.

Per Wiki: "The use of the terms reindeer and caribou for essentially the same animal can cause confusion, but the ICUN clearly delineates the issue: "Reindeer is the European name for the species of Rangifer, while in North America, Rangifer species are known as Caribou."[2][41] The word reindeer is an anglicized version of the Old Norse words hreinn ("reindeer") and dýr ("animal") and has nothing to do with reins.[42] The word caribou comes through French, from the Mi'kmaq qalipu, meaning "snow shoveler", and refers to its habit of pawing through the snow for food.

The Walkout [Lex]
Before this year, the only movie I remember walking out of was Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill (2003). Undoubtedly there were others, but I can’t recall any specifically. I’m sure I wanted to walk out of many movies in my film school years, but I took naps instead of earning poor grades.
Why do I remember, so sharply, bailing on Kill Bill? For one thing, I was having a hard time believing Uma Thurman could battle twenty men with swords, and, even more, I was having a hard time believing the man who gave us Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction couldn’t do better in his maturer years. The older Tarantino got, the more juvenile his pictures became, and I’d had enough of him.Fast forward to July 2025 when I walked –flew— out of Superman. It would take an entire post to detail what was wrong with the movie, but let me summarize by saying this: the writing was lousy. Its effects and action were not memorable and its glibness was irritating. Story, mise en scene, dialogue. When all three fail to intrigue early in the going, how can a movie recover? I hadn’t thought there was much meaning behind my walkout of Kill Bill—only that I didn’t like it. But now, with the landscape of cinema irreversibly changed, I was inspired to muse on the walkout: if I was abandoning an American icon and the greatest super hero of them all that had to mean something. What is the cultural meaning of a walkout then and now? Does the act still have relevance? Did it ever?
***
When thinking about walkouts, I keep coming back to that scene from Singin’ in the Rain, where Don Lockwood looks on in horror, as an audience leaves the end of his first talkie with Lina Lamont. The people are mocking her voice, and he knows he’ll be ruined if he continues to work with her in the post-silent era. That scene was not so much about a walkout, but an indicator that audience opinion mattered and producers lived in fear of it.
Despite the alteration of the movie viewing experience, people still go to the cinema. Box office does matter, and James Gunn surely pours over the digital trades to see what each weekend’s returns are. What really has been lost is the communal experience of going to a movie—and along with that the power of the walkout. There are profound psychological phenomena that occur when watching a film with others, whether friends or strangers. There is shared joy and displeasure. There’s the cut up and the too-loud whisperer. There’s something you might not laugh at unless someone else did. Yawns can be contagious and stray comments can be affirming or annoying. And on that rare occasion: the mass walkout. But did the mass walkout hurt or harm a picture? Public relations flaks surely could reframe a mass walkout as “see what’s got everyone so worked up,” but Don Lamont didn’t even consider putting lipstick on a pig. No, a mass walkout was the kind of word of mouth that was bad for business. Is it the same today? I think not because the theater-going experience, even in its diminished state, is far different. In many cineplexes, a seat barely touches the one adjacent to it. They recline and have foot rests. It’s more like flying first class than watching a film. These changes, I’m hazarding a guess, have made the mass walkout –once an emphatic and noteworthy statement—highly unlikely. A stray departure here and there is always the way it’s going to be, but as I left Superman I thought, perhaps in days gone by, others would have followed. I grew up in Concord, Massachusetts –in the shadow of Henry David Thoreau— but in the darkness of the movie theater I’m not sure a “majority of one” means anything.
***
What may have been more noteworthy about my walkout was the reaction on social media when I announced I had left the movie. I didn’t intend to stir up trouble, but relating my early departure from Superman turned more heads than the act of leaving itself. Kill Bill was released in 2003, and back then I had nowhere to post my thoughts. Yes, the internet existed, but it was nascent. I’m not even sure I had a cell phone in 2003. And even if I did there were no apps, and social media’s hottest thing going was My Space (remember that?). Two criticisms emerged above others. First: how could I know Superman was bad if I left at the mid-point? Second, so I was admonished: “it’s a movie; just go with it, bro (or brah).” Let’s take the second part first. By this rationale, anything put on screen, simply because it’s there, deserves praise. No matter how illogical, no matter how ill-conceived or expositional, you have to dismiss all of this because “it’s a movie.” Have the fanboys no limit beyond which they can be pushed? As for not thinking I can criticize a movie because I didn’t remain for all of it, my simple reply has been, ‘if you can’t interest me in the first hour, how will you change my mind in hour two?’ There are slow burns and then there are flame outs, and for me Superman ran out of oxygen after forty-five minutes. After some back and forth with my interlocutors, I realized debate was going to be difficult. Like almost everything these days, discussion has become tribal and pseudo-religious. My walkout on Superman was less a departure from a disappointing movie and more akin to spitting on someone’s deity. Of course, Superman did well financially, and my walkout, whether trumpeted or not, was never going to be harmful. Movies surely bomb, but that’s because no one goes to see them in the first place, so walkouts might not be harmful because they occur after the theater has your money. When critics had immense cultural cache a bad review could derail a film. If Pauline Kael announced she had walked out of a certain picture that might be enough to sink a movie’s fortunes. But then again, she also couldn’t understand how Nixon won because no one she knew voted for him.
***
If you sense my ambivalence about the walkout, you are on point. It’s an immeasurable thing. Instinct tells me it may have had more impact in the past, but a hunch doesn’t always solve the case.
Perhaps a political film could inspire a walkout, but since opposing camps generally refuse to see one another’s work at all there is no singing in the rain—only singing to the choir. Michael Moore fans are more likely to boycott a Dinseh D’Souza film, not attend it and walkout. And vice versa.
At this stage, there are no facts in evidence, so I can only solicit opinions. What are your thoughts on the walkout, past and present? What in-theater films have you abandoned? Turning the channel, pausing the stream, or swiping off don’t count. If you’ve made it to the end of this post, I know you will have not walked out on me, and I’d like to hear other opinions on this subject.

Yeah, Kill Bill was not so much a "straight" movie, as it was catching a vibe, a mood from a bygone era, and trying to do something other than just tell the story.
I kinda think that's been most of Tarantino's career. I understand people who don't like it, but it's art. In its own way, it is an artistic approach to filmmaking, with homage to other's work, a fantasy of one man's musings. Like him or not, it ain't boring.

I'm kind of on the fence about walking out of a movie, For starters, I've paid the bill so I may as well see what my money bought. Your point about viewing the movie from first class seating is well taken, as the theater where we attend has food delivery and a full bar. If the movie is not to my liking, then I can at least get drunk and maybe it will improve the show, even if I am uninterested in the outcome.
On the other hand... your time is valuable to you if nobody else. There is no obligation or sense of duty to finish an expensive movie just to get the 135 minute experience or whatever. Perhaps there is something more valuable that you can be doing with your time.
And on the gripping hand: if I've decided to see a movie, then I've already decided there my time can be wasted staring at the screen and stuffing my face.

Yeah, I have to believe that would be near the top of the list just because of the bouncing camera.
A while back, I did watch a very nasty movie that was basically people with a camera filming their very evil deeds. I survived and was tempted to watch Blair Witch but couldn't find it free.

Walked out on Blair witch project. My then teenage daughter wanted to see it. She walked out with me. I was getting motion sickness from th camera jouncing while dying of boredom. I was rooting for the witch. .also walked out eyes wide shut. What a boring pos and the music was Noriega torture material.

We actually stayed for that one. It was very mean of us to do so. There were three stereotypical yass slay queens in front of us, and they were so wound upmthat every little noise made them shriek with fear and make 'oh lawd we gone die' noises.

Agree, concur and applaud on your assessment.
It proves only one thing, People are your Best Entertainment value in watching them justify a narrative (and movie) which seeks to negate their existence and raise'd etre.
That even fungus, Dirt, and worthless FISH are more worthy of existence than you -- because you are conscious, because you have a consciousness that can be recruited as a 5th column against you -- to enrich them!
It is truly amazing, but not surprising how much money is funneled into the anti-american, sponsor&defend your adversary and contempt for the meaning of life and existence itself.
Bottom Line:
LIBs want you to hate the man who has a dollar more than you, hate the man who has the realization that Life does have Meaning, and that those who purport otherwise need only do Absolutely Nothing -- and let Nature take its course.
Like the LIB Bozo's going on hunger strike in Kalifornia against the proliferation of AI -- good luck with that!

BUT, there is one film that sticks out in that regard. "Taxi Driver" was not received well at all at Cannes. It debuted in 1976, and solicited some walk-outs as well as outright booing from the audience when it was announced that it won the Palme d'Or.
However, I'd say Cannes is an outlier. Those that usually attend the premiers there are self-important idiots who like to make a spectacle of themselves.

"Road Trip" has a scene in that light...and it convinced me never to send anything back to the kitchen.

Rotten Tomatoes screwed the pooch by putting their thumb on the scale, but it guess it was inevitable. If there really are only a dozen stories to tell, then critics must get bored revising the 4 or 5 critiques to each one, eventually SOME outside force will have a seat at the table. How can it NOT go corrupt.
Only movie I walked out of was a Monty Python that was all farts and vomits. Didn't pay attention to the summary because we were 16 looking for a place to makeout. Never made that mistake again.

Not unlike Inglorious Basterds, there's certainly an "ultraviolence" aspect to it... if I can borrow that term.

James Gunn gets Silver Age Superman more or less. Snyder didn't get him at all.
Yeah, Gunn's snarky and jokey in the same way that Tarantino is, so I get why you'd walk out on both if you don't like that kind of dealio.

The first was James Toback's "The Gambler" with James Caan. I have a problem with movies about gambling, because they never make the disease clear and compelling. I get it, it's an addiction, but present that better in your film.
The second was Horde-fave "An American Werewolf in London." I couldn't believe I was watching something so stupid, and so determined to shove its stupidity relentlessly in my face. (After everyone said what an awesome movie it is, greatest ever in fact, I bought the 4K. Still stupid. Yes, the effects are great. I can say "The effects are great" about Day of the Dead, too.)
I was the only one who didn't walk out of Norman Mailer's "Maidstone" when it played at the AFI theater. It was an endurance test and I wasn't going to let that film--the worst film ever made, IMHO--beat me.

The South park writers were manatees
Posted by: Kindltot at September 27, 2025 08:02 PM (rbvCR)
And just to be pedantic, the episode of South Park had manatees as the writers of Family Guy.
It also featured a Bart Simpson who teams up with Cartman to try to get Family Guy taken off the air, because, in a meta sense, they were both tired of having their characters and story lines compared to the dreck that was and is, Family Guy.

OK, I'm going to step my toe over the Iine here for a minute. Fans of true crime may be interested to know that they have a suspect in the 1991 Austin Yogurt quadruple homicide of four young girls case. DNA identified a rapist /murderer who killed himself when police surrounded him.

But I will say that I do really miss the tribal experience of being in a darkened theater when the house lights go down and the big curtains part, and the 20th Century Fox Fanfare cuts loose and you have a feeling that you're going on a great ride with a whole bunch of wonderful people in the dark.
But this Nostalgia is based on going to the movies in the 70s and '80s and '90s. If rude audience members have ruined the experience, shame on them. I do remember a thoroughly unpleasant experience when I went to see a re-release of Gone with the Wind and a couple of asswipes were down in front, young white males, and when Melanie's death scene was playing, which is a real heartbreaker, they were laughing and giggling and making stupid remarks and I wanted to crack their skulls together. They ruined the entire movie.

Again, I'm genuinely curious, what was wrong with it?
It's standard issue werewolf story, with modern (at the time) special effects.
Given the title, which tells you EXACTLY what you're going to see, I can't understand how one would be disappointed with what you got.
Posted by: BurtTC at September 27, 2025 08:10 PM (XP28L)
But seeing a movie like that was special that then because you couldn't see it anywhere else! We didn't even have VCR players yet, let alone infinite movie availability on internet or cable, and cable didn't exist yet either. You either caught it at the theater or you never got to see it so the excitement level was quite high.

First, you already paid your money, so it doesn't hurt the film much at all. (Unless you have "influence.")

Not just to offend the squares, but "his sort of people" as well.
And not in a half-assed John Waters kind of way.
Watch "The Devils" or "Mahler" and you'll see what I mean.
I kinda love "Altered States" though. Probably, the studio put him on a leash cuz in was a Paddy Chayefsky (Network) screenplay from his novel.
So, Ol' Ken could make a crowd-pleaser when he wished he just didn't wish to I guess.
Same dealio with Lindsey Anderson with "If..." and "O Lucky Man" and (barf) Brittanica Hospital.
Walk outs probably don't mean much cuz all movies are previewed and audience-proofed to death or crammed into a political box.
Gimme the wild and wooly 70s and 80s movie making.

That's hilarious.
Personally, I thought the dialogue in that movie was, absolutely, atrocious. There is a scene where the cabin is filling up with water and the two main characters are intensely trying to escape....and every single piece of dialogue starts with the other character's name even though they are the only two in the room. No one talks like that.

"I, Robot" was a faithful homage to the Three Laws if robots do get to be more powerful than men.
It was a bad movie but I'd argue it was a "proper" adaptation. Might be about as good as you can get from the material.
I think that Asimov tends to be more of an indirect source of ideas than a direct source, true. The Galactic Empire and the Mule inspired Dune. Star Wars too.
Back to "I, Robot": where movie androids exist who aren't the baddies they do tend to namecheck the Three Laws. Data cites them in TNG.

For me it was the movie "Drag me to Hell". I'd rented it because the cover looked interesting, and I thought, "Maybe it's akin to Evil Dead?" I couldn't have been more wrong.
The movie opened with a scene where someone was was torturing a small helpless kitten.
NOPE. Eff this. I hit eject on the remote, put the DVD back in its case and drove right back to the store. I told them I wasn't watching it, and why.
To their credit, the store refunded me my money and credited my account for two more movie rentals, on the house. (Smart people, they didn't want a customer who had had a bad movie experience to associate that with the store.)

I lost my keys when I took my god-daughter, her sister and their two friends to the movies. They were about ages 6 to 10. We saw the first movie and I realised the keys were gone and called their father asking him to bring my spare.
Good mews for the girls. Double Feature! Starship Troopers it is.
That lasted about 15 minutes before we left. They let us in to see Baby Geniuses. I just kept walking in and out to see if my friend was there and to check on the girls. Horrible movie. Wantes to claw my eyes out and puncture my eardrums.

A couple of things. #1 it was only theaters a week before it was shut down by COVID. However, in that week there were a bunch of walk-outs because the story ended up making the Liberals look like lunatics and the main protagonist was on the right, ex-military and a mistake because she had the same name as someone they wanted to kidnap. Liberals went to the film thinking they would have their vengeance and the liberals not only got that collective posteriors kicked, the were shown to be unhinged.
Imagine if the release day on this film was right now.

One I did consider walking out on although I'd paid for the ticket was Scorsese's remake of Cape Fear. A butchery of good source material.
Think I read that Tarantino was going for a Texas Chainsaw feel in the Once Upon a Time scene where Brad Pitt visits the ranch. And he caught it nicely too. Just for fun, compare that scene with the scene in the original Texas Chainsaw where they first enter the psycho family's house.

I think you give the film way too much credit. Nothing shown would have given anyone any good reason to have sympathy for those two. They were alone on a mountain, and started rutting like animals. Then they would get together every now and then and rut some more.
If that's what passes for "love" between gay men, it says a helluva lot more about what's wrong with homosexuality than it may have been trying to.

156: I liked Solaris (original version) a lot but it can be a slog. A Soviet era movie so it's production values are slightly better than 70s era Dr Who. It's not an action movie. Very cerebral but also well done. The sense of dread and general weirdness kept my interest anyway.

Have you seen Citizen X? It's streaming on HBO and rentable on Prime. Steven Rhea totes channels the 80s Soviet hoplesness.
Link goes to imdb for the movie details.

It was overall a good group, although the leader, John, was your typical lefty doucebag. Also a vegan who more or less made it clear he didn't care for food at all really.
Near the end of my time with this group (I spent about two years joining them almost every Sunday night), John shared his own script, about oppressed women living in an abandoned California mining town, run by a crazy (and of course, closeted gay) minister. The church was about the only business left in town.
Was bullshit of a story, and gotta love the ending. It took place in 1960, and when the women finally rebel against said minister, he gets in his car and immediately rushes to San Francisco, meets a tall dark stranger, and they make love on the beach.
But THEN... thel dark stranger immediately stabs the minister to death. Yeah, that's a great ending. Let's portray the one out-and-proud gay person as a murderous psycho.

Did you know the Beatles wanted to produce, and star in, a Lord Of The Rings movie in 1969? And they wanted to hire Stanley Kubrick to direct.
Didn't work out obviously. Tolkien hated rock music; the band was already breaking up anyway; and Kubrick enjoyed LOTR but felt the novels were unfilmable.

I was with 4 girls ages 6 to 10. My car keys were lost and I was keeping them busy. I was enjoying it but it became pretty intense so Baby Geniuses it was.
I apologised afterwards for all the drama with the lost car keys and everything. One of the older girls replied that they were kids that just saw two movies. They were good.

I didn't see it in the theater, but on DVD. Kubrick, except for a couple of films, is not a director I care for -- but I was riveted to EWS, and not because of Nicole Kidman's nude scene. She's actually not in the film much at all.
But I can understand that it's not to everybody's taste. It's not a movie I would have cared for when I was in my twenties or even forties.

And it wasn't for any viewers being under 18; it was just from the content just being so bad and distasteful.

I have only walked out of one in theater film - 1982 "Partners". I wasn't ready for gay themed movies and it blind sided my date and me. We left and had a much better time.
Most movies now, I'll just stream a few minutes, then read the wiki to see if the movie gets any better. If not I will abandon it. "Overboard" was one recent example.
Other movies are so predictable and the directors often waste time on hackneyed formulas that most movies I'll fast forward 15 seconds at a time. 90 minute movies are usually seen in under 30 minutes if I don't flat walk out them.

I was not as thrilled with it as my friends were. There were good moments, but the music used did not always match the mood of the action on screen. Van Morrison's "Moondance" did; "Blue Moon" by the Marcels, while our tragic hero lies dead, did not.
But then there was the young Jenny Agutter.

Only to find another human you can relate to, and have a relationship with that is not sexual, but it's also not NOT sexual.
Throw in a Kevin Shields (My Bloody Valentine) score... it strikes me as an accidental masterpiece.

They met when they were starring as comically star-crossed lovers in Bridget Loves Bernie in around '72. The show was highly rated, but some complaints convinced CBS to drop it, or so I recall reading.

I just saw that advertised. I'll likely pick it up next time there's a sale. One of the latest RiffTrax movies I watched was Fight to Win. It was profoundly disappointing...as a movie, not necessarily as a RiffTrax episode. It was almost a really cool kung fu movie (with Cythia Rothrock and a bunch of Hong Kong guys) but then it developed a stuuuuupid subplot with a little kid and a magical living-rock with the voice of a woman pretending to be a kid. Completely out-of-place, and completely killed the mood, in a way that even jokes couldn't cover.
Imagine mashing up Rambo with Mac & Me, with no effort made to integrate the differing tones....

Hobby Thread - Sept 27, 2025 [Arbor Rex]
Welcome hobbyists! Pull up a chair and sit a spell with the Horde in this little corner of the interweb. This is the mighty, mighty, mighty officially sanctioned Ace of Spades Hobby Thread. A spin of the Ace of Spades Wheel of Hobbies (TM) landed on bonsai trees.
Your host knows nothing about zen and the art of pruning small trees. In fact, I shouldn't be trusted to take care of house plants in general. Gonna need Horde help on this one. If you are tempted to say "I don't prune small trees, so there is nothing here for me," let the thought pass. No Moron could possibly say such a thing. Stick around. You might be entertained or learn something. You might enjoy hearing from others and seeing what others are hobbying. I have faith that you can find something in the content that resonates or contribute your own hobbying interests. Dig around in the content and soak in the comments. Be curious. Glad you're here. [Top: Chinese Elm Bonsai, Lynden Sculpture Garden, Milwaukee, WI]
Do you find a zen element in staring at a small tree and deciding whether to prune it in very small ways? Over and over and over? Seems like tree abuse but I'm just a dinosaur with a small brain and short arms. But Soothsayer and the interweb seem to believe that bonsai is a real hobby, so here we are. What do I need to know? and why haven't people realized that the juniper is God's punishment for human sin in plant form?
The National Bonsai and Penjing Museum contains miniature masterpieces of horticultural art. The Chinese art of penjing and the Japanese art of bonsai use woody plants in containers as a medium to portray the natural growth habit of trees in the landscape. The living sculptures of bonsai and penjing are inspired by natural scenes, and they change with the seasons like their wild relatives. They require continual care and training to maintain their artistic designs. In addition to water and fertilization, the bonsai are pruned and their branches are shaped using wire to give the impression of ancient trees. The museum's collection began in 1976 with a gift of 53 bonsai trees from Japan to commemorate the United States Bicentennial. The collection has grown steadily with the addition of pieces from North American bonsai masters and a penjing collection from China. Now, more than 300 specimens rotate through the display tables and pedestals of three pavilions and a special exhibits gallery.A tour of the museum on a YouTube channel named "Classy Bonsai" has to be good, right?
just took home bronze for Best Museums in the Seattle Times survey of Best in the PNW 2025! Beware if you go: pretty plants but insufferably woke.
The Huntington Library and Gardens in San Marino (Los Angeles area) Thanks to the Huntington for this Q&A:
What is a bonsai tree?
The Japanese word "bonsai" translates as "tree in a pot." Bonsai are living plants, typically a tree, shrub, or woody herb grown in a pot and trained to develop characteristics found in a very old tree.
There are two ways to measure bonsai age: real age (the time the tree has been growing), and the age of training (the time the tree has been worked on). Some trees in The Huntington's collection were hundreds of years old when they were collected for training into bonsai. Others were under 20 years old. Both might have the same age of training. There are a few trees in the collection that have been in training since the 1950s, which is fairly old for an American bonsai.
How do bonsai trees stay alive in such small containers?
The trees are grown in a mix of crushed and cleaned lava, pumice, and naturally compressed clay aggregate, including imported Japanese clay products. This mix provides a stable structure with a balance of aeration, water, and nutrient storage and a sharpness that promotes strong root development. Pots dry out as trees use up moisture, which is why trees must be watered daily.
Sept six - have a long-term plan. Seems like a challenge to have a long term plan if you keep killing your trees in the short term, but I appreciate the optimism. Bonsai Empire suggests that a big problem for beginners is an abundance of enthusiasm. Trees can't keep up with rapid change, so overpruning and redesigning doesn't work well for them. Is the zen part of bonsai ownership staring at the tree and not doing anything? Who am I to judge, but seems like you can do nothing without staring at a tiny tree just as well.
Words of wisdom:

Side note: Wanted to take a picture of necklace & earrings set that I'd made several years ago, with hematite and silver beads/fittings. Alas, the box wasn't resealed well and the silver is tarnished. Cleanup needed before photo. Hah, like I'll ever get around to it...

I started buying silver coins not too long ago, as well as other silver (not coin) items. Tarnish is a constant issue, as I have no desire to keep the items sealed.
Call me crazy, but I think silver NEEDS to breathe, to be touched, to have its weight and beauty felt.
There's an easy solution, made of salt, baking soda, and water, along with aluminum foil, that works just fine for removing tarnish. No need for harsh chemicals.

If you want to grow something with a zero % kill rate pick up one of those bamboo garden trinket things at the desk when you check out at the chinese buffet. Guaranteed to grow no matter what you do*. And you can graft the leaves to make new ones.
*Warranty void if you forget to water it for six weeks.

Any number of Yootoob videos to demonstrate the precise way to do it for different types of silver items.
I have a coin I thought had been ruined by chemicals, and now it shines. Has a "blackish" mark on it, that could probably come off with more effort, but I'm more than pleased it came back to its shine, just using those ingredients.

the code is utter shit.
when you call the SQR routine, it sets up a variable to 0.5. then it slides into the next code block, which is the x to the power of y routine. That routine does a bunch of magic with LOG and EXP. LOG requires a lot of division, and EXP is a Taylor series with eight (
coefficients.
It's absurd. (also by extension, if you do x^2, you're an idiot for not doing x*x.) Why didn't they just do some bithack and then run Newton's method? like in Q_rsqrt for x*-0.5.
Actually I even hear some square-root algos do call q_rsqrt and then just multiply that by x.

Ben Had,
That is so sweet of you to say. Mrs. JTB and I have learned to appreciate what we have and what we see. It makes for pleasant and peaceful living. There are so many pleasures to experience through our senses, from the smell of fresh baked bread to feeling the curl of wood while whittling to the colors of autumn and spring, the feel of a pen gliding across good paper, even just watching a little kid walking their puppy. So much better than wallowing in miseries and injustices all the time.

That kid of stuff can cause some unintended consequences.
We had a neighbor that was a refugee from Vietnam when we moved into this house. I put a chain link fence around the back 40 and I dubbed it "the wire". There was a neighborhood cat named Charlie that would torment our dogs by walking the fence line and teasing them. When they started barking at the cat I would go out into the back and yell "Charlies in the wire".

Years ago when I was a kid working at my summer job doing landscaping at the boss's house, I saw an old portuguese man, also an employee, cut a small notch in a tree, I forget what species, and stuck a small fresh-cut Apple tree branch in the notch. Then, I think, he put black electrical tape around transplant to seal it up.
I'm, like, hey Gil, is that gonna work. He said come here, look, and showed an apple growing from the branch he transplanted the year before.

My left hand is too messed up to play seriously anymore. Nerve damage in my shoulder makes my ring and pinky finger near uncontrolable. I can hack two finger barre cords but that gets boring. I haven't played but maybe a few hours in 20 years. Just long enough to get really frustrated and esentially hang it up.
Enter grand kids.
I'll give the whole shebang here to them when they are old enough. They loved it when they discovered my collection in the closet. Made me pull out the electric drum set and the amps and we play rock and roll band a lot. It's pretty fun to suck as bad as I do and the grands go "that rocks papa".

DH and I are in Wisconsin this week, Ruby and Piper are staying at the pet resort. Looks like they are having more fun than we are! Love the smiles and excitement! tcn in AK
We took a week of vacation earlier this month and hired a girl from Rover to take care of the khets. Bravo - our very sensitive boy - did not care for the intruder. Victor Tango KiloPoor boy! Angry because you are missing!
Lola and Roscoe have previously been seen on the Pet Thread. Roscoe had to cross the rainbow bridge after coming down with lymphoma. Her sister Lola misses her terribly, howling at the door and Roscoe's bed. Almost 15 is pretty good though. Their humie Brindle (occasional commenter) and wife miss her bigly too.So sorry that you have lost Roscoe. You have chosen some sweet dogs as companions.
This is Scamp (17 years old) who went over the rainbow bridge today to sit on his dad's lap. I know Jim welcomed him with a big smile. How I miss them both. Iris (in memory of Jim SND)Thank you for sending this sweet remembrance.

The cartoon of the lady happily anticipating her cats greeting her at the door . . . most of my cats have done that frequently, even when it was not breakfast or dinnertime. Stirling is usually right there when I come in. Dagny not so much, but then she's aloof anyway.
Big red Arizona use to check me in, or check on me, when I came home. And Marie-Antoinette was usually right there too. I came home from one work trip, four days or so (I'd had a good neighbor come in to look after her). Marie took one look at me and let out with a cry that was clearly "Where've you BEEEEEN?"

I remember checking on Chekov when he was in his final weeks. He lay on the carpet, glad to be petted, but moving very little except for food, water, and litter box trips. Each morning when I woke, I went to him to see if he was still breathing. I was very relieved when he was.

Even those of my cat roommates who were afraid of strangers, like Chekov and Mom's Li'l Bit, somehow knew my step and were present and accounted for when I opened the door. Many of them knew Linda's too.
Big red tabby Rusty in my boyhood was for a number of years frightened of any stranger older than I was (though he adjusted that age limit as I grew up). He would lie out in the patio, and if a strange person came to the street gate, he was up and gone in a flash. But if any of us -- my brother, mother, father, or me -- arrived, he would still be there when we entered, relaxed on the patio. Possibly it was because we would use a key to open the gate. A stranger would use the door buzzer, and that triggered him. Still, it was an indication of his intelligence.

Edible Gardening/Putting Things By
Sadly, we're in the runoff zone for our neighbors' pond, and with lots of rain this year, some of our plants weren't very happy. The half of this medlar tree on the downhill side must have had its roots die, but the main (uphill) section still looks good. Remaining fruit is huge and seems fine. The quince trees are loaded with large fruit, which should continue to grow a bit more. They grow on the ends of new branches, so they often overload them and hang down quite a bit. We still have a ton of wild grapes on the vine. Seedy and more tart than sweet, as you'd expect. I make plenty of noise walking on the local trails,
but a few deer didn't clear out before I rounded the corner. In fact, the mother (I assume) stamped her foot a few times and stepped towards me, so I chose a different path... Moron Analyst/Intrepid/Ackbar
Saffron, originating from the Orient, has been cultivated for a long time and recommended by Hippocrates for its stimulating and antispasmodic virtues. In the days of triumph, the Romans sprinkled saffron powder in the streets and party halls. Isidore of Seville ( Ét 636) describes saffron (Crocus sativus) in his Etymologies.
Used to dye fabrics, its bright yellow can also be found in medieval lighting or on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.
A saffron plant (Zaffarano) painted in its natural habitat by Gherardo Cibo in a botanical watercolour notebook circa 1564.
In the background, in a mountainous landscape, two peasants kneeling with their basket are picking the precious flower.
In this manuscript, Cibo also collects texts from the Discorsi of the Siennese physician Pietro Mattioli ( Dans 1577).

You may be able to grow the world's most expensive spice in your yard if you live in Zone 6 or above. They bloom about this time of year. You may want to plant the bulbs in a wire basket to deter burrowing rodents.
. . . colchicine is also used for inducing polyploidy in plant cells during cellular division by inhibiting chromosome segregation during meiosis; half the resulting gametes, therefore, contain no chromosomes, while the other half contains double the usual number of chromosomes . . . and lead to embryos with double the usual number of chromosomes (i.e., tetraploid instead of diploid). While this would be fatal in most higher animal cells, in plant cells it is not only usually well tolerated, but also frequently results in larger, hardier, faster-growing, and in general more desirable plants than the normally diploid parents; for this reason, this type of genetic manipulation is frequently used in breeding plants commercially. When such a tetraploid plant is crossed with a diploid plant, the triploid offspring are usually sterile (unable to produce fertile seeds or spores), although many triploids can be propagated vegetatively. Growers of annual triploid plants not readily propagated must buy fresh seed from a supplier each year. Many sterile triploid plants, including some tree and shrubs, are becoming increasingly valued in horticulture and landscaping because they do not become invasive species. In certain species, colchicine-induced triploidy has been used to create "seedless" fruit, such as seedless watermelons (Citrullus lanatus). Since most triploids do not produce pollen themselves, such plants usually require cross-pollination with a diploid parent to induce fruit production.You just might be able to create your own tetraploid plant at home. Might want to leave breeding the triploids to the professionals. Not that you can't grow some triploid plants in your yard. Had good luck with seedless watermelon? Ever grown orange watermelon?
Good evening, Katy! Our ‘Sweet Autumn Clematis’ went into full bloom this year as it always does on September 15th, bigger than ever – the two ‘arms’ now measure 33 feet end-to-end! We think it’s 13 years old; it was a tiny thing in a shady spot on our property when we moved in 11 years ago, so we moved it to a sunnier spot. But then it started to take over a very nice Japanese Maple tree, so we moved it to this perfect south-facing spot where it is now, maybe 6 years ago (?). Anyway, we give it lots of 24-8-16 fertilizer in the spring and early summer, then 2 doses of 15-30-15 and a final dose of 10-60-10 starting in August. The view from the sidewalk is much, much better this year, too. We get a lot of foot traffic past our corner down to the park at the end of the block; lots of dog walkers and of parents with carriages or toddlers. Hope you're continuing to recover okay - MrJimmThanks so much! Love the cultural particulars. What wonderful growth you have encouraged!

Recently, my wife and I visited the Pendarvis historic site in Mineral Point, Wisconsin, which was home to a colony of Cornish miners (hence the town's name). One thing we learned is that Cornish cuisine uses a lot of saffron. It seems that in Ye Olden Tymes, Cornwall was one of the few sources of tin, needed to make bronze, and traders voyaged there for it from around the Mediterranean, some of whom apparently brought saffron with them. The conditions in Cornwall are well suited to growing the saffron crocus, so it's been cultivated there ever since. Who knew? My wife recently made a batch of Cornish saffron and current buns, which were delicious.

A quince looks like a cross between a pear and an apple. The sole example I plucked from a tree was incredibly sour.
I've been told you can make jelly out of them. I assume you puree them, load them up with sugar, cook them into jelly, and then make lots of little jars of jelly that you give away to people who will politely thank you then throw it away.

That was one of their original primary purposes. They are loaded with pectin, so most orchards had a few to provide pectin to make jelly. The fruit is pretty hard, kind of dry, and sour tasting, but has a wonderful, strong fragrance. So, it's often added to pies for a little unique flavoring. They're also sometimes poached, like pears, to eat. They're sometime sliced very thinly and served with charcuterie boards.
They're added to rakia, the brandy-equivalent of the Balkans, and I find that use delicious!
There's also a Portuguese dish called membrillo, which is like a fruit leather loaf made of sweetened quince.

They are closely related to pears and most varieties are so firm that they can only be eaten raw by slicing very thinly. They tend to be sour. They are often mixed with other fruits like pears or apples in cobblers or pies, adding an interesting flavor. They are also used in jams and jellies. They keep well.
The trees usually don't grow too tall, and seedlings are sometimes used as rootstocks for pears. Like pears and apples, they are susceptible to fireblight.
Some ornamental flowering quince (a different species) are also use for food.

At our neighbors' house, we took some red raspberries, a stem of basil for me to dry, 2 paste tomatoes, and a banana pepper to taste. I tasted the grapes but will have to keep waiting for them to get a bit sweeter.
We started power-washing the house last Sat., and plan to do more of the house tomorrow. We plan to burn the fall burn pile, sometime after the rain due this coming Monday.
And we're planning to invite a youth group over in October, to pick apples, and learn how cider is made. They'll get to take apples and some cider home, we get free labor - a win-win situation.

I was having trouble with my pears molding in the fruit dryer, so I tried sulfuring them, by burning elemental sulfur powder with a bit of salt peter in the dryer. This keeps the fruit from browning as it dries, and apparently also kills the mold spores

Points of view come into focus
We have had some examples of irony in the news lately.
Bernie Sanders demands Nexstar air Jimmy Kimmel while denouncing 'political pressure' on TV stations
A man in Switzerland is facing 10 days in prison after refusing to pay a fine for an “offensive” social media post. Emanuel Brünisholz, a wind instrument repairman from Burgdorf, was convicted under anti-discrimination laws for making a statement emphasising skeletal evidence of binary sex.
Brünisholz’s ordeal began in December of 2022 when he responded to a Facebook post by Swiss National Council member Andreas Glarner. In his comment, Brünisholz wrote: “If you dig up LGBTQI people after 200 years, you’ll only find men and women based on their skeletons. Everything else is a mental illness promoted through the curriculum.”That would be a brave stance to take here in the USA, too. His statements attracted activists who brought legal actions.
Don't talk back, citizen. Cross-dressing men are women. With magic woman bones.Much more at the link.
From the comments:Academia's Clown Quarter, I mean: Marriage fundamentalism” advances “white supremacy,” according to a George Mason University professor. “I theorise that marriage fundamentalism, like structural racism, is a key structuring element of white heteropatriarchal supremacy,” Professor Bethany Letiecq wrote in the Journal of Marriage and Family.The meaning of the term “marriage fundamentalism,” a term used repeatedly, isn’t made entirely clear, and its allegedly racist and life-crushing particulars are, inevitably, “hidden,” “invisible,” and conveniently vague – despite the loudly announced use of “an intersectional lens.” But it seems to mean something like the tendency of many adults to see marriage as of mutual benefit and an optimal way to raise children. . .
EmC replies, tersely, That. Well, if little Don’t-Know-Who-My-Dad-Is is starting fires at school and looks destined for a life of delinquency and crime, this is not obviously the fault of the happily married Mr and Mrs Jefferson and their two non-fire-starting children. And no amount of chest-puffing about “heteropatriarchy,” “unequal power relations” and “white supremacy” seems likely to alter that fact. A child in an unstable home and consequently on an unhappy trajectory may have things to grumble about, in between the brawling and disruption, and starting fires in the toilets. But those grumbles have little to do with other people’s parents making better choices. The grumbling, it seems to me, should probably be directed closer to home. FredTheFourth adds, Shades of the argument, a couple of years ago, that parents who read to their young children were giving them an unfair advantage over children whose parents did not.

Saad has a book coming out which will touch on some of these themes. What he can and cannot say. Greeks used stereotypes. The challenge to the Western paradigm is success. Germanic nihilists took clues from some Greek philosophers. 43 minutes - Saad talks to former supermodel. Get comfortable with reality. Dowry means that older women in Greece are richer than men in their 50s. 57 minutes: VDH's "Why I Don't Like Trump" Game 1hour 07 minutes Biden was always mean Harris . . . . Does VDH have regrets? You might be surprised.
It was quite a week. The biggest story was the indictment of James Comey, about which I have reservations. But the indictment was a boon to memesters, who recalled Comey’s earlier art project featuring seashells. Much more happened, too. The Trump administration adopted recommendations by the Harvard School of Public Health on the use of Tylenol by pregnant women, which were immediately denounced by leftists, even though it turned out that the manufacturer of Tylenol said the same thing. Jimmy Kimmel returned to television and garnered massive ratings in his first show back, mainly due to people tuning in to see whether he would apologize. He didn’t. Donald Trump visited the United Nations, only to be greeted with mechanical malfunctions. And left-wing violence continued apace, with yet more victims and with zero sign of remorse from liberal leaders. So here we go with The Week In Pictures, Seashells Redux Edition:

As @AndrewCMcCarthy explains well here, this is going to be a difficult case to prove.
Doesn't matter. As we learned from the Biden Administration, the purpose of prosecution is to use the unlimited resources of the Federal government to ruin people financially.
Yeah, Comey may eventually be acquitted, but let's make him spend millions defending himself.

“At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists.

You know, quite a lot of people didn't really give a shit about gay marriage but it was clearly the camel's nose under the tent that some warned it was. They were right just as much as your weird fat uncle Bob the militiaman was back in Michigan, 30 years ago, about the progs.
I despise certain type of busybody church folks - not the well meaning type, but those that just want their permission slip to throw rocks at something - but if that's what we require to combat the hordes of psychotic furry trannies, so be it. I always knew it was a practical tradeoff in there somewhere but did not expect the slope to be so steep, and well greased.

Hoopes was arrested by the FBI for violently assaulting an ICE agent and launching several other attacks at the Portland ICE facility in June.
He attempted to kill an ICE agent by throwing a boulder sized rock at his head.
The Community Safety Director disclosed Hoopes identity to an FBI agent when approached, which led to his arrest.
Reed College — a progressive leftist institute — said the safety director’s decision went against the college’s values.
President Audrey Bilger did not condemn Hoopes’ violence against ICE.

Reed College is a sanctuary campus for Antifa which is just an idea anyway.

People have to be in place and the Dems shut down nominations for lower but important offices like US District Attorneys. Blue slip vetoes in blue states for Dem senators is making matters worse in places like NY, NJ, VA, MD, etc. Grassley as Chair of Judiciary is allowing Dem senators in those states to veto Trump nominees from filling those positions permanently without those Dem senators acquiescence. Part of the issue is Tillis is supporting the Dems in keeping that policy in place in Judiciary.
Imagine charging the hill with an uncertain army where 1/3 are careerist cowards toward Dem malfeasance, 1/3 are Dems likely to shoot anyone attempting to storm the heights in the back, and 1/3 are uniparty squishes that desperately want to return to the sedate pattern of brief service in DoJ time and again in order to make partner at a big law firm. Lawyers, by and large, aren't there on the right much for crusading--they want to make money. Leftists are different than their GOP counterparts, they want to run the system and make money.

Blue slip is simply one more ahistorical and non constitutional norm that the Senate engages in to created the dubious notion of senatorial courtesy to prevent nominees they dislike from being appointed.

I like Shapiro in some ways, he's got good stuff to say, he's really smart and quick on his feet, and he does a lot of good. He used to do the college thing too. But he's also troubling to me because he's so driven by wanting to make money with his organization and he's at heart a NY Leftist Jew who has learned Conservatism rather than conservative at heart.

What sets him and some others apart from folks who may have great delivery but need to read from a script is that Trump actually knows what he's talking about.
Now, you might not agree with him ir he might not be right. But he knows the FUNDAMENTALS of what he's talking about. He has principles on which his thinking is based. And he can reason from his principles to a conclusion (even a new conclusion). He has firm foundations from which he thinks his way to conclusions.
That was also something that Charlie Kirk had going for him. Absolute conviction of certain principles, and the ability to reason from them.

Somewhat related are these people going out on TikTok boohooin' an' cryin' that they got fired because someone send their publicly posted video cheering and celebrating Charlie Kirk's assassination. Um...you put it out there for everyone to see but it's some terrible act of "doxxing" and invasion of privacy for someone to bring it to the attention of your employer, which they also probably got from your publicly posted information.

Pretty much. While in theory marriage is a good thing I cannot hold onto the tradcon idea that it is always an unalloyed good for everyone all the time despite current legal and cultural incentives and disincentives. Marriage was basically rendered a nullity with no-fault, and turned into a trap for unwary men. Lots of guys have been utterly ruined by marriage and divorce, to the point they're 6-8 times more likely to kill themselves post-divorce than women. By the time gay "marriage" rolled around it had pretty much gone to shit as an institution anyway, turned into an obscene mocking imposter. I don't like that it was gutted and then worn as a skinsuit but in hindsight gay marriage was a pretty forseeable consequence.

What the U.S. govt is doing to me breaks all the norms of immunity on which the functioning of the United Nations and its General Assembly is based.

You might also mention exactly what Shapiro did say, Source Hindustan Times:
"Ben Shapiro vowed to ‘pick up that blood-stained microphone’ where slain conservative political activist Charlie Kirk 'left it'." and “We will pick up where Charlie left off.”
Quite a few people thought that meant Shapiro was offering to take over Turning Point and Demstate flatly claimed such,
"Ben Shapiro has announced he will replace Charlie Kirk as the face of the Turning Point USA (TPUSA) organization, pledging to embark on a nationwide tour aimed at fostering debate and discussion on college campuses."

And for some stupid reason, President Trump is thrilled and think it's wonderful the stupid "World Cup" for soccer is in the USA, in, what, 2026?
-------------
Methinks the president thinks all things that are not bad are good.
If it is good and brings happiness it is wonderful. There is not reason to be negative about something that will bring about a positive outcome.
Watch Trump smile as he steps across the border into N. Korea and extends his hand in friendship to li'l Kim.

Never cared for him even back in the days he was a columnist but then again, I care little for most opinion bloviators as their knowledge pool is relatively shallow due to trying to address everything under the sun.
George Will, Peggy Noonan, and Mona Charen are examples of petrified and shallow opinions that are about as relevant today as discussing the politics of Egypt during the time of the Pharoahs.
And yet they cling to their status from the Reagan years as some sort of badge of relevance.
And the reason they do so is they get paid to do so. Shapiro strikes me as the same sort of mercenary--if he gets paid then that is all that matters.

What seems to go unsaid is that these two things are not the same. To pretend there is no difference, whether it's about faith or politics, is absurd.
If one chooses to support the mission of Shapiro and his organization, that's fine, but it is NOT the same mission as Kirk's organization.

I admire both men. There are books by each with a few feet of where I sit. But both tend to be "lumpers", believes in synthetic approaches. That has some value, but it does lead to oversimplification, and ignoring what doesn't fit the thesis. E.g., VDH cites, in the context of the Western tragic hero, the Magnificent Seven. But remember the source of that movie - it was Japanese.
No matter what pattern you come up with, the world is more complicated.

Since sealing the southern border obviously didn't do jack squat to suppress the supply demanded from our million or so addicts, I'm kind of skeptical. But maybe it's easier to block people at borders than it is to block drugs. I dunno.
Our problem is demand, not supply. If we had the balls, or if our fickle nation had the sustained will to follow through with it for the years it would take, we'd do it the same effective way that dinky Singapore does it. But of course, that will never happen.
Seems crazy to bomb Venezuela to solve it. It's a clear signal that we are too weak and impotent even to keep our own addicts here at home clean, so we put 100% of the blame on other countries for it. Lame.

The Classical Saturday Coffee Break & Prayer Revival
2) Be kind, be nice. But don't be a patsy.
3) Running with sharp objects here? What are you, nuts?
4) Have a great weekend!
AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List
Please submit any prayer requests to me, “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo atsign hotmail dot com. Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks unless we receive an update. Prayer Requests: 8/25 – Grammie Winger posted that Rev is doing well, but she was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer last week.
9/6 Update – grammie winger sent her love and how much the Horde has meant to her over the years. She said her time is being measured in days and weeks now, and that soon she will go to that place that Jesus has prepared for her. She said she will miss the group so much. 8/25 – BurtTC is dealing with a family matter and could use some prayers.
9/4 Update – BurtTC’s mother passed away. BurtTC asked for prayers for her family, who suffering the loss. Her soul is safe and at peace in heaven. 8/28 - Grumpy and Recalcitrant asks for prayers for Pixy Misa, who runs the morning tech thread. Pixy has been suffering from edema (water retention and swelling of the extremities). In addition to the swelling, there has been significant pain in both feet, and now one hand. Please pray that the doctors and nurses take this problem seriously. Pray that God guides their minds and hands in the diagnostic and treatment processes, so that Pixy may be restored to full health. Pray that He sustains Pixy through this health trial.
9/13 Update – Pixy Misa posted that he is hugely improved. Between the BP medication and the skin cream, he reports being almost back to normal. He only noticed the problem now while climbing stairs, and then its just stiffness rather than actual pain. 9/5 – Inogame requested continued prayers for his wife. It seems like they may have two blessings on the way, not just one, since there seems to be a second heartbeat. In a few weeks they will know for sure. He asks for prayers that they be doubly blessed if the Lord wills it. 9/5 – Teresa in Fort Worth gave an update that she was very ill (throwing up), and was going to spend a day or two at the hospital while they figure out what is going on (and give her IVs due to dehydration). It doesn’t seem to be related to the cancer.
9/7 Update – Teresa still cannot keep solid food down. The CT scan showed something odd (metallic) in her stomach, so she will have an MRI on 9/8. 9/6 – Tbodie sent an update on a son, who has pancreatic cancer at age 36. He just finished his sixth round of chemo. Please pray that the family will know that God is in control and that the son and daughter-in-law will know He is there for them. 9/6 – “Perfessor” Squirrel sent his thanks to the Horde for their prayers over the past few weeks, as he went through a difficult time at work. He announced he will be moving to a new job (at the same university) on 9/22. It will be similar work as before, but a different boss, and that is good. 9/6 – vmom deport deport deport asked for prayers for Sophia, age 12, who was still fighting for her life with a bullet in her brain after the trans school shooting in MN. 9/7 – Moki would be grateful for prayers for a nephew who just had a heart attack. He is 54 years old, and has 3 kids under age 5. 9/7 – GWB requested prayers for a neighbor who is suffering after multiple back surgeries and in a LOT of pain. 9/9 – Pookysgirl asked for prayers as Pooky has a procedure to hollow out his prostate on 9/23. They are not sure of the long-term implications of his acute kidney injury, but his kidneys are recovering. God has worked miracles to keep Pooky with them in the past, as an answer to many, many prayers.
9/13 Update – Pookysgirl reported that Pooky is on the mend. His kidneys are recovering, he is sleeping better, he has been more confident interacting with the kids. Prayers of thanks! 9/11 – D sent an update for Susan, his wife, and her battle with cancer: Thank you, everyone, again for your prayers for Susan. Her cancer markers went down at the last Dr visit, but she is back to having abdominal pain that is making it hard to eat right. They are trying to get her weight up and thank God for the good days they do have. The really good news is that she is able to walk around again without the fear of falling over.
9/23 Update – The pain has started coming back, so they went to the hospital and found a cyst. They are trying to determine if it is infected. 9/11 – Annie’s Stew asks for prayers of comfort for Charlie Kirk’s family (first and foremost), prayers for this country as we all grieve, and that God would reveal His will for us, as we move forward as individuals and as a country. 9/11 – Kindletot requested prayers for a friend named Wendy, who was diagnosed with stage III breast cancer. Please pray for healing and reassurance. Wendy is afraid of chemo, which hurt her friend as much as the cancer did. 9/13 – vmom deport deport deport asked for prayers for her daughter KTE to fully recover from the stomach bug that she has been suffering through. 9/18 – Taylor reported that WitchDoktor took his own life last week. 9/20 – Tonypete sent happy prayers for Will and Natalie, who were married on 9/19. May they continue to live God’s plan for themselves and remain as happy as they were on their wedding day. 9/20 – Accomack sent his thanks for the prayers for his wife. She was cleared of the parasites, but her liver has not returned to normal because of all the antibiotics. She has not been cleared to return to work, but she has insurance and union payouts, so this could go on for a while. 9/20 – Dash my lace wings asked for prayers for her mama. On 9/17, she fell and broke ribs. It was the second time in about 6 weeks, and much more painful than the last time. 9/20 – RedMindBlueState asked for prayers for the wife of a close friend. She is back in chemo for a recurrence of cancer. Please pray for her and her family. 9/21 – P asked for prayers for her brother, T, in New York. He already has stage 4 lung cancer. His car got totaled one night at 3 am, and when his wife was driving him to the insurance office the next day to report this, he felt so wobbly that she diverted to the ER, where they found out he’d had a stroke. 9/22 – C requested prayers for a friend whose mother passed away after years of dealing with dementia. For submission guidelines and other relevant info, please contact Annie's Stew, who is managing the prayer list. You can contact her at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. If you see a prayer request posted in a thread comment, feel free to copy and paste it and e-mail it to Annie's Stew. She tries to keep up with the requests in the threads, but she's not here all of the time, so she may not see it unless you e-mail it to her. Please note: Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks or so unless we receive an update. 9/26 - Legally Sufficient asked for prayers for her “Boss” as he has serious intestinal issues with testing upcoming. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.

I gave up adding sweetened creamer and now drink my coffee black. The flavored kinds are okay, and I drink it more like tea - sipping slowly to find the hints of vanilla - rather than gulping it down as I used to do.

However, yesterday I came home from work to find a portrait of Jesus sitting next to my wife, drawn by my daughter. The story behind it is that she had a very vivid dream Thursday night, and it was simply that she was standing outside next to Jesus, who was looking past her intently at something. Without turning, he said simply: "What happened to you wasn't your fault."
This was so compelling that she woke up and drew the portrait from her perspective - Jesus gazing past the viewer, looking into the distance. She has struggled with her faith for a long time, but last week started attending the adult faith formation class ("Becoming Catholic" formerly RCIA), and really enjoyed it. That has been her first opportunity to get to know a group of young people face to face in years.

Here's a story that will restore your confidence in the American medical system.
My 93 y/o M-I-L left 93 years of Ohio living to stay with in CO for the duration about a month ago. We were going through her prescriptions to make sure we had everything straight. She takes sodium chloride tablets for low sodium. The pharmacy label from Ohio on one of her NaCl bottles it said this:
Patient name: M___ R___ (not my M-I-L)
Rx: Amphetamine 17 mg tablets
Instructions: Take one tablet every morning for attention deficit disorder.
The bottle was labeled 'Sodium Chloride' on the manufacturer's label, and they were definitely salt tablets. Obviously some pharmacy tech had sloppily applied the wrong label for the wrong patient on the wrong bottle. To make matters worse, these were meds she brought with her from an assisted living place in Ohio. Nice to know someone was looking out for her in OH.

Instapundit talked about titles of nobility, and it's clear that security clearances are regarded as a minor peerage in DC. All the important people have one, and upper-tier jobs require it, even though it's completely unnecessary.

I don't understand the Bondi-hate, either. If you're a fan of Pres. Trump, and looking for affirmation from the Lefty media, you're not going to find it. Yes, many of the Federal district judges are acting like lunatics, but they are repeatedly getting slapped-down by the U.S. Supreme Court.
The violence and deranged rhetoric we're getting from the Democrat (i.e., Commie) politicians and their allies is not coming from a position of strength. They are desperate and know that they are loosing. President Trump has cut-off their flow of money, and deporting the illegals.

It is also helpful to realize that we do not have an infinite supply of flawless people who can readily be plugged into a job.
I think a lot of the hate against her is performative. Trump used to be an outcast, and those who supported him had huge audiences.
Now he's been mainstreamed, and content creators have to create their own brands. Being for Trump is no longer enough, so they compete with each other to see who can out-Trump Trump.
Right now they're baying for mass arrests without any concern for rolling up networks or getting convictions. They look at J6 and wonder why we can't do that, and the answer is that we are not completely corrupt and willing to send innocent people to jail.
We're supposed to be the good guys, yet the same people who are lauding Charlie Kirk are advocating leftist-style sweeps. I'm totally burned out on these people slamming their spoons on their high chair and demanding Trump do this or that, or claiming NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE!1!

Years ago I was an RCIA sponsor, and one of the questions that we were all asked was how we would react if we died at that moment? What would we say to Jesus?
Lots of deep introspection from the college kids, but for me the issue was simply whether my family would be taken care of without me. That's still the case.
Obviously, I also want to experience more things, particularly watching the grandkids grow up, maybe see my other daughters married with kids of their own, but that is not my decision. So I try to always keep up on insurance and make sure people know where important documents are. The brush I had with death in 2019 was helpful in that respect.

' Her legal team has curb-stomped the activist judges, humiliating them again and again.'
I don't want to see her gone but there is an arrest gap.
People other than Comey need to be indicted.
Antifa needs to be arrested every time they pop their heads up (Portland).
People online calling for murder need to be arrested (Olbermann, Destiny).
It's not only Pam Bondi. The administration doesn't seem to have a strategy for those yet.

Demanding perfection in all ways is a way to ensure that nothing gets done. You can see that with 2A advocacy, economic issues like tariffs, policy issues like immigration, education, and so on.
Demanding perfection is the enemy of the good. And what GOPe has traditionally used to thwart any movement away from fixing leftism. And demanding it in a very short time frame or calling it a failure is likewise unreasonable, impractical, and unobtainable in a large society.

The fact that you can't discern a strategy does not mean the strategy does not exist.
Many people make this mistake.
I see a very deliberate process, one focused on constant pressure rather than winning the news cycle.
Also: the virtue of the Sword of Damocles is that it hangs. When it falls, it is no longer a threat.
A drip drip strategy also defuses the hyperbole of totalitarianism. It makes indictments old news. When Hillary is finally charged, people will shrug because it's been talked about for so long.

Thomas Massie is the epitome of this. Michigan has had some state legislators that did the same thing - "principled conservatives" who just voted no on everything, which sucks ass when you have a 1-seat majority.
"I am voting against this concealed carry reform because it is not pure enough for me. Better to have it remained banned than corrupted with half-measures!"
And yet people applaud them for some reason.

People other than Comey need to be indicted.
Antifa needs to be arrested every time they pop their heads up (Portland).
People online calling for murder need to be arrested (Olbermann, Destiny).
People in antifa were arrested last night. 3 women were arrested for stalking and doxxing ICE agents and they supposedly seized phones and computers and are looking at digital footprints. The msm is not going to report this stuff for obvious reasons. You've got to look for other sources. Follow Andy Ngo on X if you want antifa updates.
Other people in the Russia collusion conspiracy are being looked but unless you are running a corrupt investigation and leaking to drive narratives, Democrats, what's happening behind the scenes is unknown. Nobody really knew about Comey's pending indictments until hours before they dropped.
I believe they are trying to build a conspiracy case against the people Miller named last night and possibly more people. But I don't expect them to keep my abreast of every move they make because that would be stupid and ultimately counterproductive. Waiting sucks, doesn't nothing is happening.

Lots of tension within Communism. It's interesting that National Socialism is considered of the right, when it is just rebranded Stalinism - Communism based on nationality.
It was obvious that national feeling surpassed class consciousness. Workers in England were not going to strike in solidarity with workers in France, or Germany. But they would strike against their own elites.
For all that people invoke Nazis, most people don't know the first thing about them.

There is a 100% chance that all the targets are aware that they are under investigation yet none of them says anything because they are working out their media strategy for when the indictment is filed.
I'm sure their lawyers are in deep negotiations over what they will give up and whether they will get the 4 am raid treatment.

Indictments don't work that way. First, you have to have a Trump loyalist in as district attorney. For better or worse, there are something like 94 US District Attorneys across the nation. Democrats have been shutting down getting any of these through until the Senate just recently changed the rules to prevent that. Second, in addition, like the POS DA in the Eastern District of VA that was preventing Comey from being indicted, Grassley in the Senate Judiciary is allowing the two blue slips policy to block Trump's preferred nominees in states where two Democrats are senators.
Old senatorial courtesy policy that has been abused by Democrats, like the filibuster, like nominations, etc.
List of DA's. Only the asterisks are Trump II appointees. https://tinyurl.com/5yxdd3kc Carets are acting DA's, often career staff.
So every federal charge has to go through a grand jury per US Constitution and must be in the district and place where the alleged crime occurred. Comey is being charged in ED of VA for lying because Covid had him videoing his testimony from home.

DoJ informs you normally if you are a target for grand jury because of the privilege of not testifying before one. Witnesses are often only given subpoenas because at least theoretically they have no privilege against testifying about charges related to other people. But really anyone that gets a grand jury subpoena needs to understand that a) they can compel your testimony, and b) if you mention something in your testimony that can allow you to be charged in the case at hand or later. Thus, hire a lawyer for advice even if a witness and not an official target. Questions about others are almost always something a witness has to testify about as they can compel you to testify under contempt of court power by offering you transactional or complete immunity for testimony. Again, devil in the details and lawyer needed to determine trap doors in such agreements.
FWIW, attorneys for targets and witnesses cannot enter the grand jury room.

Another thing is that the assassination of Charlie Kirk has completely stripped the Lefties of their self-asserted moral high ground. Millions of people with a functioning conscience saw video of many Lefties gleefully celebrating the death of a man just sitting in a chair talking. Kirk's assassination has been called a Christian martyrdom and I have come to the conclusion that is correct.
Interestingly, among the Catholic clergy that has talked about Kirk's assassination, Cardinal Dolan (not a "rad-trad" by any measure) spoke about being saddened and prompted to learn more about him. He later declared Kirk to be a "modern-day St. Peter." I think Cardinal Dolan meant that Charlie Kirk was an evangelist spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ to the pagans.

Federal system is different than state--in states, offenders can be prosecuted via information and/or grand juries. Federal prosecutions require a federal indictment via grand jury per the US Constitution itself. And those indictments have to come from the federal district where the crime is alleged to have occurred.
In most states, cops can pick someone up under a warrant, sweat them, and submit that to prosecutor who can give the go ahead to a judicial pretrial hearing to charge someone by information.
Fed's can't do that and in complicated cases, to build probable cause, you have to go through the grand jury system. FWIW, the Watergate grand juries were meeting for months before indictments were issued and they were still in operation two years AFTER Nixon had resigned investigating the small fry. If you care to read some old fascinating history, Nixon's Grand Jury testimony post presidency is available online. He testified after resignation about the whole Watergate era including politics then.

Kirk was a regular guest on Catholic media and had a guest appearance scheduled with (IRRC) Bishop Barron.

There is caselaw on what is called the nexus of the crime for interstate prosecutions. Smith had that problem as special prosecutor--he wanted to try Trump in DC but his Mar a Lago raid happened in FL which is how Judge Cannon was assigned to the confidential documents case rather than in DC where Trump's presidential documents were loaded up. Sometimes cases get consolidated but it gets really complicated with multi state investigations as to where the 'crime' was actually committed.

Posted by: Martini Farmer

Comey's problem (and that of a judge trying to let him off) is that apparently DoJ has seven former employees that have stated on the record that Comey lied. Even a judge is not going to be able to dismiss that case with being at risk for having to do the trial all over again.
Instead look for subtler moves like jury selection in allowing biased lefties to serve or evidentiary motions.
From the last time I looked at that particular statistic, summary dismissals are the most overturned rulings of trial judges on appeal. Jury instructions come next.

But it is relatively easy to tack on additional charges in an amended indictment. If Comey sent or destroyed evidence over the wires aka internet, then you get into wire fraud charges. Nexus can be muddy in that case as the Servers with that information can be in the 'cloud'. So Comey in office destroying evidence of a conspiracy after being fired in 2016 (and that destruction was not known at the time), might be tried for something that was on servers in Utah.
At one time, during the Trump I administration, a special prosecutor and grand jury in Utah was impaneled. Purpose unknown as no indictments ensued.

I would agree. But it is interesting to what degree the 'career' DoJ staff is literally committing career suicide trying to keep even a minor indictment from coming down the tracks.

And DoJ can appeal to the 4th Circuit to reinstate charges. Basically the only way you can dismiss a case with prejudice is after a jury is impaneled and hears the prosecution's case. A judge can then entertain defense motions to dismiss but again, that is risky as appellate courts can reinstate the charges in a new trial.
Otherwise a sloppy dismissal is reversed by appellate courts and the trial judge has to do all the work over again. Sometimes, the appellate court can even assign the case to another judge to try if the behavior of the trial judge is especially egregious.
The risk is more subtle in Comey's case as the evidence is clearly there that he lied. And covering up such facts means obstruction.

My pleasure as always. Huber also was investigating Uranium 1 and Killary's dealings with it. Shut down shop in 2020 with no indictments. Trump at the time called Huber a waste disposal for important government documents. By putting those documents under seal as grand jury investigations, it allowed DoJ to prevent normal release under FOIA.
Sometimes investigations are used at the Fed level to simply hide evidence of crimes under the seal of investigatory materials not to be released due to grand jury proceedings.

The DC Circuit seems to have some uniquely stupid and cartoonishly biased judges who just make things up to get headlines.
If that sort of thing spreads outside the beltway, there are various remedies for it, and at least some judges are aware that their reputation (and therefore legitimacy) has suffered immense damage.
There may be a few adults in the room who don't think going down in history as a legal idiot is worth saving Comey's bacon.

Our political system became deranged during the Obammy years.

Obama was our King John--a vicious petty minded asshole that destroyed the rule of law. And Biden is the zombie that gave Obammy another term in effect giving Mayorkas free rein to bring in over 9 million invaders in 4 years.

Both deserve every indictment for lying, obstructing justice, and abuse of FISA/NSA networks for political prosecutions. Hanging is far too good for either of those smug evil bastards.

Organizational imperatives mean that the larger the organization, the more it can pay, have more power, more budget, more grifting. So the organization is no longer doing its primary task--education but instead following organization imperatives of more taxes, more budget, more serving grifters and budding pols, more high paid administrators, and so on.
None of them have skin in the game if students fail and they most certainly do not give one flip for teachers and students under their charges. In large systems, the school board and administrators work instead for other interests--grifters, politicians, and special interest groups.

In light of the significant progress being made by Trump 2.0, this feels a bit like a FWP... then again, continued vigilance is always warranted.

Recycling trash. Universities follow the same pattern with 'national' searches. What inevitably happens is you get these crappy administrators that fail in one place but promptly are snapped up by another city or state to do the same service for them.
Police chiefs in particular are there mainly for politicians to promote an agenda, rather than arrest criminals, and when that agenda fails, serve as well paid scapegoats to send to another city to not protect and serve that population either. They are hirelings and patronage for local pols and provide deniability for bad policing decisions caused by local pols.

With no exceptions I've yet stumbled across, MAGA types (gawd I hate such dumb labels, but you know what I mean) frame their comments, and especially their reaction to the characteristically ridiculous commentary by regime apologists, improperly.
"Taste of your own medicine." "How do you like the new rules?" And many variations on this.
Wrong, critically wrong. The entire point is that the coup/etc involved *improper and illegal actions to weaponize law enforcement etc against political opponents*. The prosecution of Comey et al is the exact opposite - the *proper* use of law enforcement to prosecute *actual criminal activity*.
Not semantics. But, apparently, far far beyond the ability of most of America, including "MAGA" luminaries, to reason. It's an unserious country for reasons reaching far beyond the degradation of the "left".

Rose City Antifa has been linked to some of the big movers and shakers in Portland government, and it is rumored also to state level movers and shakers.
In a side note, Gov Tina Kotex has declared a budget emergency of a 375 million shortfall, from the surplus predicted this Spring, since Trump has shut down federal funds to the state.
which means she was planning to run 1/3 of the budget on Covid and DEI funding.

I think is more fair to attribute the how do you like the new rules to simply recognizing that the rule of law in the modern era has essentially been gutted since the FDR days.
Nixon was felled by a coup despite LBJ doing far worse things as president. FDR was so lawless that even his attorney general at the time, and future Scotus appointee Robert Jackson refused to persecute Andrew Mellon on taxes.
And FDR played footsie with communists and allowed them to thoroughly penetrate his administration and he put a fellow traveler in as VP (Wallace).
The truth is that history shows a continuous struggle between the criminal Democrat party viewing themselves as the permanent owners of government since the Federalists Party died , To that end, no constitutional provision, no Bill of Rights, is safe when Democrats are in office. Take a look at the hideous Woodrow Wilson administration and its lawlessness as an example.

From my dealings in politics and studying government in its forms for the last 30 years of my life. I have come to the conclusion that big city governments are primarily there not for residents but to create what Robert Dahl claimed was a deformed polyarchy to protect special interests.
Unlike Dahl though, the interests I identify are not only developers and legitimate businesses but criminal networks of drug sales, prostitution, and other illegal goods like human trafficking. Essentially, governments are like Cicero IL during the Capone era. These criminal networks are useful for banks (money laundering), politicians (contributions, bribes, violence, and voting fraud), and those consuming their criminal goods for employees, drugs, violence, and other nasty products sold by the underworld.
Basically an interlocking system that voters cannot fix of criminality and favor selling.

Portland used to be run for the developers, the big businesses working themselves into monopolies, and as a springboard to state and federal positions and power. The crime was street level and focused around the mills and the port. In a way it worked but the industry started going away in the 70's and the crime was what was left.

Daily Tech News 27 September 2025
Top Story
- Two new Xbox models have just gone up for pre-order, sort of: The portable Ally X for $999 and the cheaper Ally Nothing for $599. (Tom's Hardware)
Can these portable devices from Asus really be described as Xboxes? They have AMD Ryzen CPUs - but then, so do the current Microsoft Xboxes. But they have AMD Radeon graphics - which the current Microsoft Xboxes also have.
So I guess the answer is yes.
The Ally X has a Ryzen Z2 AI Extreme, with 8 Zen 5 CPU cores and 16 RDNA3.5 graphics cores, and 24GB and a 1TB SSD.
The Ally Nothing has a Ryzen Z2 A, which doesn't sound like a huge downgrade but definitely is: Just 4 Zen 2 CPU cores and 8 RDNA2 graphics cores, plus 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD.
It has the same screen and controllers as the more expensive model, but offers less than half the CPU performance. Comparing the desktop equivalents, a four-core Zen 2 would be one third the speed, but in a mobile device the faster chip is likely the be thermally constrained anyway.
- And it's sold out, for rather dubious values of "sold out". (WCCFTech)
It's a pre-order, so this restriction is limited to the units from the first production batch that were allocated to the Microsoft Store. There are plenty more out there.
Tech News
- Meta, parent company of Facebook, has announced its new app: Vibes, an infinitely scrolling stream of AI slop. (Facebook)
Thanks, Mark.
- Is the HP Z2 Mini G1a the small form-factor Strix Halo workstation you were waiting for? $5021 as tested. (Hot Hardware)
I'm siding with no.
- Well, how about the Minisforum MS-S1 MAX? (YouTube)
Maybe. Currently selling at $2399 for the sole available model, so it's by no means cheap. But it has two USB4 ports offering 40Gbps, two USB4V2 ports offering 80Gbps, two 10Gb Ethernet ports, two M.2 slots, and a PCIe expansion slot.
Plus of course a Ryzen 395 with 16 Zen 5 CPU cores and 40 RDNA3.5 graphics cores, and 128GB of LPDDR5-8000 memory.
You can configure a Mac Studio with equivalent specs (the 16 core M4 Max also has 40 graphics cores and supports 128GB of RAM) but it's slower and significantly more expensive.
- Electronic Arts is seeking to go private under a $50 billion leverage buyout. (Notebook Check)
Is it suddenly the 80s again?

He never even shows his face. All you see are his hands and hearing his radio announcer voice give you the lowdown on whatever he’s checking out.
BTW, that HP Z2 Mini G1a is listed at $2163 on Amazon here in the States. It has a 1TB SSD and 64GB of RAM, which is plenty unless you’re trying to run AI models on it. I’m guessing the $5000 version must have the full 128GB RAM and two 4TB M.2 SSDs to get the price up that high.
The chart on HotHardware showed it did well in Cinebench. It’s right behind top end desktop chips, a few with 5090s attached. Pretty good ranking for what’s essentially a power-efficient laptop chip with a mid-range GPU attached to it.
If AMD can come down off that high price for the next generation(s) of these AI Max chips they could really grab a big share of the low to mid range PC gaming market by essentially selling a better version of a PlayStation with all the added PC functionality and also not being locked down by Sony to play games.

Maybe some, but others may be in the USA legally. For someone legal, if you don't have your I-9 and your passport on you at the moment that ICE decides you're potentially an illegal alien, and even if you do but they need to verify your documents, there's still the potential of things going pear-shaped. "Good enough for government work." That should sum that up.
Being arrested and potentially deported is a huge fear of anyone working and living in the USA legitimately. I know, I was someone in that category. I carried my I-9 and my passport together on me much of the time. A non-citizen is REQUIRED to have those on him, even though that's not practical all of the time and there's the big fear of losing those documents.
Most Americans fear the IRS because they can bankrupt you. Those of us who came to work under valid permits feared the INS (now USCIS and ICE) much more. The IRS could only bankrupt you. The INS could send you packing and separate you from your family with no way to get them home. That's terrifying.
This is not a stress I miss.

Most Americans fear the IRS because they can bankrupt you. Those of us who came to work under valid permits feared the INS (now USCIS and ICE) much more. The IRS could only bankrupt you. The INS could send you packing and separate you from your family with no way to get them home. That's terrifying.
This is not a stress I miss.

But Imelda (currently Depression #9/Invest 94L) is being coy about where she’s headed and how big she’ll be.
The current cone from the NHC has it curving away sometime Wednesday following Humberto. But we’ll still see a lot of rain, especially if Imelda stalls out before moving east across the Atlantic.
I saw a forecast for 16” of rain over the next several days for Summerville on the news last night. I hope that number is way off. That’s gonna suck if we get that much rain again after the August we had.

Her Majesty and The Big Dummy start their trip to NJ this morning and it's looking like whatever develops from this will rain on them while they're going through TN and VA. So I'm hoping it stays away from the East Coast.

Models have up to 12" of rain getting dumped on FL and eastern GA, SC and NC. But over a couple days, not hours like Helene in '24... if it tracks N/NW and heads back out to sea.
We had about 6" in 5 days earlier this week. Took care of the drought we were under. Corn and soybean harvesting has resumed.

Quite welcome. Ancient history for me too, my time in the USA was mid to late 90's and a bit of the early 00's. Despite the ever-present worry/concern, I had a really good time, met some wonderful people, and have a deep appreciation for just how amazing Americans are.
This is why I bristle at all the anti-Americanism I see in the Canadian press. Are there problems with the trade-war spat our two countries are having? Sure there are. I'm really hoping those get sorted out because the animosity I'm seeing up here against Americans is disturbing.
The Canadian press will gleefully engage in anti-American sentiment, because that's the old go-to that the Liberal Party whips up (and the media is firmly in bed with the left.) Why do they do this? To distract the citizenry from the fact that left-wing policies are what's causing most of the misery in their lives. It's an old trick and multiple governments in multiple countries have, and continue to use it.

Trudeau was a master at it, just like his father (Pierre or Fidel, either one). That’s how he survived a decade and has brought misery on many Canadians that the complicit media up there hides, just like ours did with Obama & Biden.
Carney seems to be getting away with a lot, too.
But he doesn’t have the charisma or ability to lie and get away with it like Justin.
The tariffs are not helping but Carney won’t budge on issues like the managed supply chain in dairy so negotiations go nowhere.
I wish Canadians luck, but a large portion of the population needs to come to grips with what the Liberals have done to the country and vote for the Conservatives, and not according to what the CBC tells them to think.

According to wiki...
Cuban is Jewish, and grew up in Mt. Lebanon, an affluent suburb of Pittsburgh, in a working-class family. His paternal grandfather changed the surname from "Chabenisky" to "Cuban" after his family emigrated from Russia through Ellis Island. His maternal grandfather was a Bessarabian Jewish immigrant and his maternal grandmother was from Lithuania.

You're right about the supply-side craziness involving what I've started calling "the dairy cartel". 9,256 dairy farms, all working under government production quotas, versus the rest of the economy that's being seriously hurt by the trade war and tariffs. These guys are small potatoes compared to the rest of the economy, and yet we keep protecting them. WHY? Votes?
Get elected, scrap the dairy cartel's protections and quotas immediately upon getting into power, and in 4 years after the market has easily adjusted to a more free-market status (as what happened with dismantling the Canadian Wheat Board) it won't even be a blip on the political radar.
So the only thing that really explains this is that the politicians are being paid off under the table to protect the status quo.
Bribes. Liberals. "Shocker."

Your ISP has probably started enforcing rotating IP addresses assigned via DHCP instead of just letting your router request "the same IP I got last time" in perpetuity.
This usually happens when some residential customers start setting up servers on their network for the rest of the world to use. ISPs want you to pay for a business connection (at a substantially increased price) if you want to run servers. In addition to a policy in your TOU (terms of use), they also will change their DHCP server to force IP rotation every time your router goes to renew its DHCP lease. This adds "friction" to the process where customers are trying to get around the business-connection requirement for running servers.
Some power-users set up servers on their connection as a hobby and really don't use much in the way of network resources, but they get caught up in this. Been there, had this happen. *sighs*

A lot of leftist Jews donate money to and start leftist organizations.
Jews, for whatever reason, and certainly not for all of them, are good at money. I’m not being stereotypical or insulting here, I admire their reputation.
But you are dismissing all of the whites, Asians blacks, and Latinos who make money, send donations and start leftist organizations and movements.
For some reason Jews get all the blame for what the entire left does together.
Unless they’re right-wing Jews who are either ignored altogether or called Nazis for fighting for their own land for 80 years.
Perhaps try not to focus on Jews as the problem, but instead look at it as a humanity problem for which Jews have become a convenient scapegoat, especially in the collective West, for a few thousand years.

I took the sound/bay thing to mean sounds were more enclosed while bays had broader mouths. I grew up in Colorado, so coastal geography features have always been a mystery.

there's a whole subreddit called r/Hypothetical Scenario. Crazy stuff there. Here's a sampling of what's posted now:
On your 25th birthday, you'll receive $1,000,000. It will double each additional birthday. You can access this money at any time. But once you do, the compounding effect will stop and you won't receive any additional money.
Hypothetical: If you were offered $50,000 upfront plus 7% of every sale, would you donate a cell culture to be used for commercially available cultured human meat?
For the next 24 hrs you are the opposite gender
If you could place any object on the surface of a 'to be explored planet', purely to confuse NASA scientists, what would it be?
A third arm suddenly appears, how do you react?
You get 250 thousand dollars a year for life but you need to sleep 12 hours a day.
You are offered to curse someone with a minor inconvenience of your choice.
And so forth and so on

If it were easy as fishin'
You could be a musician
If you could make sounds loud or mellow
Get a second-hand guitar
Chances are you'll go far
If you get in with the right bunch of fellows
People see you having fun
Just a-lying in the sun
Tell them that you like it this way
It's the work that we avoid

Who got deported from Des Moines?
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at September 26, 2025 10:47 PM (o46Y5)
Des Moines public school superintendent. He overstayed his student visa and ignored a deportation order from an immigration judge. ICE went to take him into custody yesterday morning, tried to pull him over, he took off, then bailed out of his school district provided SUV, leaving behind a handgun, large knife and $3000. State cops collared him a short time later and now he's in a county jail over by Omaha.
The school board who hired him a couple of years ago are just shocked by all of this, shocked, I tell ya. They did a background check and had no idea he was illegal.

The eggspurts think they know. They developed 3-D type models. They've been able to 'see' inside thanks to newer technology. But exactly what it did and how it did it, no one knows to date.
The more important question is how such a device was built whenever in antiquity it was built. The skill involved in constructing that should have shown up somewhere else across the globe. I have a hard time buying the mechanism as a one-off.

I watched the one about making the big gear. One thing he completely glossed over was "how did the ancients index the wheel to file the correct number of teeth?" And when he riveted the two spokes together, he did not countersink the rivet holes, which both he and the ancients could have easily done. Would have made the riveted joint much stronger.

I think wiki says the big gear has 233 teeth.
One way to index it, maybe: build a large wooden disc with a calculated circumference of exactly 233 inches (or whatever passed for an inch in those days). Bigger, the better, within reason. Using a tape measure, mark off holes on the rim one inch apart. If go the full circle, and your last increment is too small or too large, adjust your tape measure and try again. When the increments are all even, there is your indexing head. Put the gear to be cut on a common axle, put a pin in hole #1, and file a gear tooth. Rinse and repeat, 232 times.

Five more yards and no go. Motor is running correctly but the tires are spinning and I'm not moving. Great. So, I get off the thing to have a look. The right front trunion bar has broken (at the front) so the moving tractor drove the bar into the ground. Tractor is pinned in one place.
After removing the bar I carefully limped tractor back to the garage, removed extraneous parts, eyeballed the deck height on the other side and used a ball peen hammer handle to level it the mower deck, substituted coat hanger wire for the trunion; pulled it tight and wrapped it. Finished cutting with no more problems.
The tree cutting part of the project will wait till tomorrow.
Monday I'll go over to Sketchy's to see if they have an old trunion laying around.

While I had the column laid out on the work stand, I cut, shortened up, and respliced the six wires leading from the turn signal switch to the harness plug that connects it to the dash wiring. Heat shrunk all the individual splices, then a wrap of mylar tape, and then larger heat shrink over the entire bundle. Looks much tidier, and so easy to do with it at eye level on a stand, and me sitting on a chair. Column is now back in the car, securely bolted up to the rag joint, with lock nuts, and the firewall plate is bolted down to the firewall.

All the gears in a harley engine are that way. They last a long time. In late '77 they changed the pitch of the teeth and they can't be mixed in with the earlier '77-back gears. As a complete set yeah, but not a mix match. They grind themselves to dust. The funny thing is the difference is almost imperceptible. They are marked so you can tell which is which, but you need to know what the mark is, because god forbid harley just stamps early or late into them.

Strict reciprocity in federal support to law enforcement. "Sanctuary" idiocy = no calls returned, cases go to bottom of pile, resources diverted for any but national security issues.

Of course the first thing I asked, before my business, was - "so are expiration dates on packaged food really important?". His answer was a little multi-part, but all common sense. Chemically stable stuff kept in good condition should be good far beyond the "best by" date. All depends on the food in question.
I ended up just instructing suppliers to not put expiration dates on the commodities for my program, as the customers (overseas) were totally unfamiliar with the concept, and in any case the nature of the commodities and how quickly they would be consumed sort of made the whole issue moot.

Yes, the ICE office in Portland, and also the fed courthouse, have been besieged off/on for years. Including during Term 1. Never understood why that wasn't deal with, harshly.
Not kidding about strict reciprocity with "sanctuary" s-holes. They don't support national law enforcement (including on dangerous criminal cases), then feds are too busy to help out with any local matters apart from int'l terrorism. Two-way street.
Perp walking local officials/LE for 8USC 1324 (sheltering/aiding) would be a great companion piece to reciprocity.
Since the elected GOP rabidly opposes restoring rule of law, and the electorate is too stupid to change that, the obvious lever of conditioning appropriations is out from the start. So you're left with some gambits entirely within the executive's purview.

The trick is, it's very hard indeed to find the angle that is 1/233 of 360, and lay it out. But it is almost trivial to make a measuring tape with 233 equal divisions on it, and then lay that tape around the rim of a suitable sized wheel. And the greeks certainly knew about pi, and the relationship between radius and circumference.

My oldest is a 1988 softail. I owned it since 1991. I have done nothing other than maintenance to it. It hasn't left a single drop of oil under it in 34 years, it never broke down, and runs the same way every time I start it. Last year I changed the lower fork legs because over 34 years the chrome was getting pitted, so I pulled out a set I had in my stash. New bushings, new seals, new fluid. It lasted a week and the new seals were starting to leak, because the seals are shit. We had problems with 2 other bikes because the seals are shit. I just got a set in that were made in italy, we used them a few times with no problems to replace the shit ones on the other 2 bikes. Tried to be nice to it, but noooooo. I had to screw with it.

I got interested in the Hebrew calendar a few weeks ago. Lunar calendars always caused me to MEGLO with their complexity, and I got interested enough to slog through it. It was invented, the mathematical calculation calendar as opposed to the observational method, probably during the Babylonian captivity. And it was likely based on long term Babylonian observation records.
The Jewish calendar estimates the mean synodic month at 29.530594 days. The current value, as of epoch J2000 is 29.530588861 +( 2.52E−7)*T, where T is in Julian centuries of ephemeris time, and that's valid for maybe 10,000 years centered on J2000 (you want more than that, just add the higher order terms in powers of T).
That is impressively close. Around 2000BC, it was even closer. The Moon is slowly receding due to tidal braking. So, the synodic month, in uniform time, is getting longer. But, the earth's rotation is slowing, and that effect is greater. Thus is mean solar days, the synodic month is getting shorter, not longer, so it was a smidge longer than in 2000BC.
Based on current estimates, it was about 29.530598 days then. Compare that to the Hebrew estimate. Damned, damned close.

That shit works. Before I moved into the house I had my brothers painters do 2 of the rooms that have stooopid high ceilings. One of them used the bathroom and somehow broke one of the tank bolts holing the tank to the toilet. Anyway, I decided to wash the tank in the laundry sink to clean it out before reassembling it with new bolts and seal. The tank slipped and fell into the sink and blew out a half dollar size hole in the bottom of the sink near one of the corners. Well lets try the flex tape. Damn if it didn't work. Its been 3-4 years and it still holding. I'll have to change the sink, but its low on the totem pole at this point. Still, the shit works better than i thought.

Much knowledge was lost with the Library of Alexandria. There's no telling what ancient knowledge was in there.
It's quite amazing how well the ancients knew the motions of the planets well before Copernicus to Kepler to Newton. They didn't know the mechanism that we take for granted today, but damn, they knew the motions to high precision.
Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at September 27, 2025 01:32 AM (w6EFb)
I think we know remarkably well what was in that library. Seems like every document since quotes parts of other documents that were kept there. The Septuagint was based there, and we haven't lost any of that.
But yes, destroying that library was very much like destroying all the scrolls from Rome, or even hiding all the scrolls in the Dead Sea caves. We found a lot of those, but not all.
History is often ephemeral.

I remember those well (have they ever featured on the Sunday Book Thread? I admit I don't attend as often as I should).
I have a distinct memory of reading an awfully lot of those books, always with every finger on the left hand marking a potentially-decisive turning-point page. just in case the latest disastrous choice inexplicably resulted in expiry.

Come to think of it, I actually made a low-effort Choose Your Own Adventure novel for a Grade 11 high school English project - can't remember what we were trying to prove. We all had to read our excreta in front of the class ... this form at least got some minor-level class engagement.
Strangely, I now have no idea now what it was about.

Read Euclid's Elements. There isn't one person in a million today living who could work out all those proofs given even a lifetime to do it. (And he did it drawing with sticks in the sand, and without the even the simple luxury of indoor plumbing.) Maybe Terence Tao could do it, but he'd say he's got better things to do with his time.
Check out Thales or Archimedes. Plato. The Pythagoreans were batshit nuts (so was Isaac Newton,) but they did a lot of very heavy lifting. Needless to say, the Bible is full of wisdom and insights into he human condition. In a lot of ways, modern man is stupider than all those guys.

A judge has ordered the deportation of Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil to either Algeria or Syria, citing alleged false statements on his green card application. The ruling sparked criticism from advocates who argued that Khalil was targeted for his pro-Palestinian activism. Immigration Judge Jamee Comans ruled that Mahmoud Khalil’s I‑485 statements showed a lack of candor and willful misrepresentation of material facts.

There was this stupid story the lefty idiots were pushing about Trump and Melania in the chopper when they landed back at the WH after than UN incident. Trump was seen through the windows "wagging his finger at Melania!", and she was "shaking her head". The bully Trump was berating his wife. Hell, he might've been about to hit her or something.
Well, guess what, according to "forensic lip readers", thank you Daily Mail, he was pissed off. Not at her, but at the UN escalator thing. You note she lurched forward a bit when it abruptly stopped.
He was apparently very pissed about that, and was going on about it with her. You can probably thank Melania for keeping Trump from launching an air strike against the UN.

Most of my cats have been mixed breeds from shelters or were "found" cats. Marie-Antoinette the smart black cat was a mixed medium-hair, as is Stirling now. The Siberians (one a found cat, in a parking lot, no less) were purebreds, including little Dagny now. The Siberians were all smart, but either prickly or sickly. Dagny is the healthiest and most normal Siberian yet.

Alyssa Carson: The 23-Year-Old Who Dreams of Becoming the First Human on Mars
Alyssa Carson, a 23-year-old American space enthusiast, is making headlines as she trains with NASA and other space agencies to become one of the first humans to set foot on Mars. Since childhood, she’s been part of various space programs and simulations, including the Advanced PoSSUM Space Academy, showing her deep commitment to space exploration.
While the claim that she’s “not coming back” is speculative, Carson has expressed willingness to be part of long-duration Mars colonization missions — where returning to Earth may not be initially possible. Her journey symbolizes the bold human spirit pushing the boundaries of exploration and science.

The Ukraine thing is interesting. At first we had cartoonishly bad NAFO propaganda insisting the Russians were desperately cannibalizing appliances for computer chips. Also that their goal was to drive to the Vistula, but the plucky Ukrainians stopped them.
So I looked to other commenters, and they seemed to be more grounded. Less hyperbole, actual discussions of tactics, logistics and such.
But now I'm coming to realize that those guys aren't "realists" so much as Russian shills/self-loathing Americans who hate Trump and just want Russia to win for some odd reason. Maybe they're being paid.
Trump asked for a cease fire, and we were told Zelenskyyy was the delusional obstacle. But now the Russians are acting like they already won, so Trump is making life painful for them, pushing NATO to reopen arsenals and actually spending their own money for a change.
Now Russia is crying. I thought they had the upper hand? It's all so confusing.

I extend thanks to the opposition parties and exponents who, taking up the wise words of President Mattarella - to whom we are grateful - invited the Flotilla activists to accept the proposed alternative solutions and in particular to deliver the aid to Cyprus, to the Patriarchate of Jerusalem.
At this stage, it is vital to work to ensure the safety of those involved and not to go along with those who claim that the objective of the initiative must be to force an Israeli naval blockade. A choice that would be extremely dangerous.

So the 2WAY gang says that Kamala is screwing her political future with her book, blaming a bunch of people and whatever. They point to articles in the Washington Post in which some dimly identifiable "source" contradicts her and turns the blame back on her.
How does this hurt her except in her ability to gather a team and some donors? Her supporters don't care which ex-chief of staff she shafted. They don't make intricate linkages in some WaPo insider story.
South Carolina Black women will fling themselves on her. She has supporters who watch her drunken interviews and exclaim how elegant and poised she is, and what a great president she would have made.
I've been wondering about that for the past week. ONT is almost here!

The Week In Woke
At Dearborn, Michigan's first city council meeting since his clash with a local Christian minister went viral after a heated exchange over a controversial honorary street sign naming, Mayor Abdullah Hammoud declined to apologize for his saying the minister was "not welcome here" and that he would "launch a parade" when he left town. Ted Barham, the same Christian minister, opened his remarks at Tuesday's meeting by repeating the words that went viral at the previous one on Sept. 9. "The mayor, in a way, cursed me, as was seen around the world. And I would like to repeat what I said that day to you, Mr. Mayor: 'God bless you,'" Barham said. ...
Shane Rife of Garden City said he was "shocked" to learn that Hammoud had appeared at a rally where Arab American News publisher Osama Siblani praised Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah as a "hero." "We have a mayor in the United States who is sharing a platform with somebody, with [a] terrorist!?" Rife asked. "Where is your allegiance? Is your allegiance to the United States or is your allegiance to Hezbollah?" Pastor Jeff Davis of Dearborn Evangelical Covenant Church also voiced support for Barham, stressing his long service in the city. Nagi Almudhegi, a Yemeni-American engineer and candidate for mayor, also weighed in during an interview with Fox News Digital. "The United States of America is built on the principles of freedom of speech and freedom of religion. These two principles are sacrosanct," Almudhegi said.
"If I were in Mayor Abdullah Hamoud's spot at that time, I would have not said anything. The gentleman has a right, as an American citizen, to speak his mind. And he did it in a respectful, calm way. The mayor should have afforded him that opportunity instead of launching into that tirade." He warned that Hammoud's "not welcome here" remark risked fueling a false impression that Christians are not accepted in Dearborn. "People would get the impression, or it would feed into the paranoia that is very, very wrong, that Dearborn is a racist place, or there's no place for Christians. And that is what I'm 100% against," Almudhegi said.
An alleged "Republican" says that he's dating a trans "woman" and is very angry at Republicans who won't do the same. Megyn Kelly does a college debate for Turning Point USA. A very unhinged leftist asks why she supports Trump, whose rhetoric, he asserts, caused Charlie Kirk's assassination. Woke pro-terrorism Muslim and media darling Wajahat Ali: "My family in Pakistan does not want to come to America thanks to Trump! Pakistanis are staying home!" Oh no. No no no. Anything but that. Students at a "historically black college" chase out two White Interlopers because they're very anti-racism. Twenty-seven Democrats in the Colorado House voted against intentionally exposing your genitals to minors a felony. You know why. The Pedo Party isn't even hiding it any more. A very well-adjusted and sane left-wing woman. This is what police have to deal with every day. A woman is driving around with an expired license and insists the cop has no right to stop her or ask for her identification and drivers license.
Collin RuggThe "news" report calls this male interloper "she." Trans extremists are fleeing the country. Oh no. Despite Trump's order to the military to end DEI and to reject trans recruits as bad for military discipline, the military continues promoting trans people on DEI grounds.
@CollinRugg NEW: Jurupa Valley High School girls volleyball team is desperately trying to find opponents as Patriot High School becomes the *8th* school to refuse to play against their transgender star. Girls' teams are refusing to play against trans player AB Hernandez.
According to Outkick, who attended a game, AB Hernandez's advantage is "so clear and obvious that several members of the opposing team's supporters were visibly upset by it." According to a new lawsuit launched by three current and former volleyball teammates, Hernandez placed his hands on female players. "Beyond the locker room, A.H. engaged in unwelcomed and offensive contact, including slapping and/or placing his hands on female players' buttocks, including Plaintiffs, during practices, games, and huddles," the lawsuit alleges. Every adult who continues to allow and affirm this is evil.
After seeing a transgender colleague of mine get selected for promotion over a cisgendered colleague this week, I reviewed the transgender policy of both the DOW and the Army to try to understand how this could happen given that President Trump's guidance was issued nearly 9 months ago. First, the DOW policy delegated how service members with disqualifying conditions are to be identified to each Service Department. This resulted in Service Departments expressly forbidding commanders from directing service-wide IMRs to efficiently and effectively comply with the order. At the service department level, confusing guidance emerged regarding processing of waivers, TERA, and the establishment of "voluntary" and "involuntary" phases needlessly delaying compliance. ....Speaking of Female Naval Officers: "Mikie" Sherrill, who makes her service in the military her central argument for electing her NJ governor, refuses to release her military records. That's because she was punished by the Naval Academy for being part of a cheating scandal. She claims that she was only punished because she refused to rat on fellow Midshipmen. We could look at her records to confirm that -- or disprove it, and find out she was one of the cheaters -- but she won't release her records.
Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice -Grey's LawMany in the military are familiar with Hanlon's Razor which implores us not to attribute to malice that which can be attributed to incompetence, but in an environment where there are people with fundamentally incompatible values and incompetence is endemic in accordance with the nature of bureaucracy, Grey's Law is the better heuristic. We can't reflexively distinguish between incompetence and malice in such an environment, and even using the term malice is a bit misleading. Is behaving in a manner consistent with your ideals and beliefs malicious? Before I veer too far off into the realm of philosophy, let us move on and consider the career of a senior bureaucrat in OSW P&R likely involved in the development of EO18143 policy to help explain why compliance has proven so challenging. Ms. Stephanie Miller is the Deputy Assistant Secretary of War for Military Personnel Policy Office of the Under Secretary of War for Personnel Policy. While not reflected in her current bio, she spent much of her time at the Pentagon leading the way in the development and execution of DEI policy. We know from retired Navy Commander Theresa Carpenter that female Naval Officers (or FNOs) seem to have a cultural affinity for extreme egalitarianism. There also seems to be a pattern here whereby this class understands that their egalitarian beliefs need to be hidden between this post and Ms. Miller's removal of her history of developing DEI policy. Finally, the history of working for Susan Collins who voted against the confirmation of Pete Hegseth justifying this in part based on "statements... that Mr. Hegseth has made about women serving in the military"3suggests misalignment with current leadership. Then there is the involvement of Ms. Miller with the inherently egalitarian Immigrant Military Members and Veterans Initiative (IMMVI)... Finally, there is the fact that her husband worked as a lobbyist for a firm that directly profited from policy Ms. Miller was responsible for overseeing as outlined by Sam Shoemate here. If she wasn't willing to address this blatant financial conflict of interest, why would we expect candor regarding the clear but still less obvious ideological conflict of interest? This is only one example, but it is reasonable to infer that Ms. Miller is embedded within a network of ideologically aligned bureaucrats in the Pentagon. This likely includes relationships across each of the Service Departments, and these networks connect into the force as well. This isn't limited to any particular demographic, either, and extends to proven and respected warfighters.
Rep. Mikie Sherrill, the Democratic nominee for governor of New Jersey, was barred from walking with her class at the U.S. Naval Academy in 1994 as a punishment connected to the massive cheating scandal that implicated over 130 midshipmen in her class. A copy of the commencement program from May 25, 1994, obtained by the New Jersey Globe, does not include Sherrill's name. Sherrill said that her absence from the ceremony was a consequence of failing to report classmates who had been involved in the scandal. "I didn't turn in some of my classmates, so I didn't walk, but graduated and was commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Navy, serving for nearly ten years with the highest level of distinction and honor," Sherrill said. However, the Sherrill campaign rejected a request that she permit public inspection of any disciplinary records from her time at the academy. Only Sherrill could authorize the release of those sealed records. Sherrill has made her military service as a U.S. Naval Academy graduate and helicopter pilot the centerpiece of her political identity, but has never publicly discussed her class's cheating controversy in stump speeches or interviews. There were rumors that she was tied to the scandal in 2018 when she sought to flip a House seat in New Jersey's 11th district, but it was suggested to the New Jersey Globe at the time that Sherrill was not involved. The scandal revolved around electrical engineering exam answers that some midshipmen obtained and shared with their classmates in December 1992. Two dozen of Sherrill's classmates were expelled, and one of those involved said in 2002 that he thought more than 400 out of the 663 midshipmen who took the exam had seen copies of it in advance. The events struck at the heart of Annapolis's honor code, sparking congressional hearings and internal investigation; the resignation of Rear Adm. Thomas C. Lynch, the superintendent at Annapolis; and widespread debate over whether the institution had been too lenient in past cases of misconduct. The academy subsequently undertook significant reforms to strengthen its academic integrity system and restore public trust.This is the same woman who says she can't remember whether or not she took $30,000 in campaign funds and turned it into $7 million by playing the stock market, trading in defense stocks while serving on the House Armed Services Committee. She doesn't deny it. She says she can't remember. She can't even say if she made $7 million. She's just not sure. Would you remember if you made $7 million or not? As Larry O'Connor points out, only someone worth a half-billion dollars or more would have no recollection of whether or not she made 7 million fucking dollars. Which, I think, at current conversion rates, would be forty million fucking Deutschmarks. She is running to be NJ Governor. The race is tied. The election is in November. If you are sadly still located in NJ, register and vote. We can do this if we get off of our asses and believe we can do this. Imagine the panic. Imagine the shrieking. Imagine the meltdowns. Imagine the absolute chaos and demoralization it would cause for the 2026 midterms. Go and do likewise, Gentlemen and Female Gentlemen. More Diversity = More Strength.
🚨Two of the MONSTERS who opened fire on a children’s baseball field in Katy, Texas, gained status and even U.S. citizenship under the Biden Administration.

Mustafa Mohammad Matalgah and Ahmad Mawed ruthlessly opened fire hitting the team’s coach while he was leading a prayer.… pic.twitter.com/1v6rlAKvWe
As you may have seen, someone fired a hail of bullets at a kids' baseball tournament in Katy, Texas, hitting a coach as he led his team in a pre-game prayer and sending children and their coaches scrambling for cover. ... The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has charged two men for the fusillade of bullets they fired at dozens of kids and adults at the Rac baseball complex.
Both shooters are from what the DHS called "high threat" countries: Mustafa Mohammad Matalgah, 27, is from Jordan, and Ahmad Mawed, 21, is from Lebanon. Not so shockingly, both were welcomed into the United States by the Biden administration.
...
Despite arrests for drug possession, Matalgah was granted U.S. citizenship on Aug. 1, 2023. Mawed entered the U.S. on an R-2 visa on June 3, 2021, automatically making him a legal permanent resident. Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin released a statement (emphasis original):
This horrific act of terror, the firing on children praying before the start of a baseball game, is pure evil. These individuals from high threat counties [sic] were let in by the Biden Administration. They clearly were not vetting the aliens they were letting legally enter our country and even become U.S. citizens. Not only did Biden fail the American people by leaving our borders wide open to criminals, but he also legally allowed them to gain status and citizenship to terrorize our communities.

True Progressive Science (TM)!!! Gay and trans people "experience time differently" because they're "lives start later." What? Oh, I guess they mean their lives don't start until they have gay sex or cut off their dicks. Then this Scientist claims that their lives "end earlier." Thus, they experience time differently, and that means that you'll have to excuse them when they show up 50 minutes late for their barista job. You must not impose your racist sense of time, which is called "heterochronography" or something, on gays. So gays and trans people are literally alien beings unconnected to the rest of the species and divorced from physical laws and even reality? Okay, I'll make a note.
More Diversity, More Strength.

@NickMinock BOMBSHELL DEVELOPMENT: An Arlington detective testified today that registered sex offender Richard Cox, who says he is a woman and was allowed to use Fairfax County women's locker rooms, had Fairfax County rec center CHILDREN'S swim class schedules ON HIS PHONE, so he knew WHEN KIDS would be at the rec centers he visited. Despite that, Fairfax County leaders (Police Chief Kevin Davis and Commonwealth's Attorney Steve Descano) refused to charge Cox for allegedly exposing himself to women and girls in women's locker rooms at three Fairfax County rec centers. Today, the Arlington detective also testified she found child porn and child abuse material on Cox's phone. An Arlington prosecutor said this speaks to Cox's motive to why he visited girls locker rooms. Why hasn't Fairfax County charged Cox for his rec center visits?

Steve Descano, the Commonwealth's Attorney for Fairfax County, was elected in 2019 with significant financial support from a political action committee funded by billionaire George Soros. This connection has been a point of focus for critics of his progressive policies, who contend that the funding influences his approach to criminal justice.Abigail Spanberger, the CIA scum who is running to become Virginia's governor in an election that takes place in early November, refuses to say whether or not he should be allowed to beat off in the children's changing rooms. And this is not an isolated case:

Pushing and shoving is not a protest. Radio said there was a standoff between protesters and ICE. How can that be? If they were interfering with due process they were breaking the law. Why aren't they in jail.
Law enforcement's got to get with the program or this is going to escalate.

yeah, or as Jesus said of the Pharisees that tried to entrap him --
"Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not."
There were those that "had demons", and those that were fully committed, no chance for salvation. Or that is how I read "their father is the devil" types like (perhaps) Soros or Schumer, WEF types.

Hassan Chokr directed antisemitic slurs at children entering a preschool.
He then later visited a gun shop, where he handled a shotgun, rifle, and pistol, claiming he would use them for “God’s wrath.”
As a convicted felon, he lied on a background check.
He ultimately was denied the purchase of the firearms after the background check.
During his arrangement he cursed out the judge by calling her a “Zionist b*tch.”

They're stupid, psychotic, brainwashed, and very dangerous.
This is second or third time I've heard a reference to this so called DOJ report that proves political violence is a "right wing" phenomenon. I've not seen it, and I assume that they are lying about it (as they always do) if it even exists. I imagine it's along the same lines as putting pro-lifers and people who assert their constitutional rights on the DHS list, or counting AB prison murders as "right wing violence" like the ADL or SPLC.

He then later visited a gun shop, where he handled a shotgun, rifle, and pistol, claiming he would use them for “God’s wrath.”
As a convicted felon, he lied on a background check.
He ultimately was denied the purchase of the firearms after the background check.
During his arrangement he cursed out the judge by calling her a “Zionist b*tch.”

The will be a crewed mission around the Moon. And it won't even be the full Apollo 8, just a cheap imitation. They won't go into lunar orbit, just whip around the Moon in a free return trajectory in the Orion capsule.

Most recently, the destroyer USS Stockdale arrived in the region to join seven other warships: the destroyers USS Jason Dunham and USS Gravely; the cruiser USS Lake Erie; the Littoral Combat Ship USS Minneapolis-Saint Paul; and the Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group, which consists of the assault ship USS Iwo Jima and the amphibious transport docks USS San Antonio and USS Fort Lauderdale. About 2,200 Marines with the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit are embarked on the amphibious ready group’s three ships.
The Iwo Jima can carry AV-8B Harriers and other aircraft. Additionally, the U.S. military has deployed Marine Corps F-35 Lightning II aircraft to Puerto Rico.

FBI is DOJ. It was all the rage under Obama to classify all sorts of benign or even patriotic or conservative activity as right-wing extremist terroristic behavior. It continued under Biden.
Now did they classify ordinary criminal behavior such as domestic violence and other as right-wing (i.e., politically motivated) activity?
I would be shocked if they did not.

Sea Navies U.S. Navy
Historic Shuttered Navy Base Back In Action For Caribbean Counter-Drug Mission
In 2004, the Navy disposed of the former Naval Station Roosevelt Roads in Puerto Rico, but current events have seen it awaken once again.
Howard Altman,
Published Sep 15, 2025
In part, "The F-35B stealth fighters that landed in Puerto Rico on Saturday joined a growing U.S. military presence at the former Naval Station Roosevelt Roads. Though the Navy disposed of this sprawling facility more than two decades ago, it is now a major staging area for the Trump administration’s battle against narco traffickers and pressure campaign against Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro. These counter-drug activities have some asking whether Roosevelt Roads, once considered surplus by the U.S. Navy, should be permanently reopened as a military installation."

Left-Wing Terrorism and Political Violence in the United States: What the Data Tells Us
The Issue
In recent years, the United States has seen an increase in the number of left-wing terrorism attacks and plots, although such violence has risen from very low levels and remains much lower than historical levels of violence carried out by right-wing and jihadist attackers. So far, 2025 marks the first time in more than 30 years that left-wing terrorist attacks outnumber those from the violent far right. Despite its decline this year, right-wing terrorism could easily return to previous high levels. It is important to resource counterterrorism efforts against both right- and left-wing terrorism and work with communities to gain their support against extremists. Leaders across the political spectrum must condemn violent extremism of all kinds, denying it legitimacy and reducing its appeal.
Much more w/i the report.

However that isn’t even the biggest issue with her service IMO. She says she served “active duty” for 10 years after graduation. But she also left as a Lieutenant (O-3), which you get promoted to basically 4 years after graduation. You make Lieutenant Commander a few years after that if you’re not a total fuckup. She claims she left after 10 years as just an O-3, which can only mean one of two things. Either A) she was a complete dirtbag, or B) her “ten years active duty” includes the 4 years she was at the Academy. So basically she did her 5 years minimum required post-graduation plus cruised for an extra year at some land-based job while she collected a paycheck planning her next career move. This should be the crux of what republicans focus on, because either she was a complete shit naval officer or she’s lying about her service time.

That's because she was punished by the Naval Academy for being part of a cheating scandal. She claims that she was only punished because she refused to rat on fellow Midshipmen.
We could look at her records to confirm that -- or disprove it, and find out she was one of the cheaters -- but she won't release her records."
I remembered part of this, because it was the same year I enlisted in The Marine Corps. I was in the Marine Corps once, I'm not sure if I mentioned.
And Tailhook was a relatively recent memory, (most of it was bullshit) and I remembered ONE thing about this story.
She DID rat out her friends, but only some of them, and she was anonymous in her whistleblowing, but she only did it once it became a story, and she stayed anon. And we knew, back then that it was a woman because she was a woman so of course she was brave, but anon, because that's courage, but I wasn't sure.
So I went to grok.
Grok lied to me. I asked about the gender breakdown of those involved in the scandal, it

even though it's pretty fucking obvious she got off because she was a chick.
She was the only FEMALE of 135 who was a part of that scandal, and the only reason I researched it is because I was in The Marine Corps, I don't know if I ever mentioned that, and had an issue with 5'2 women being treated as though they were equal to a 6'2 190lb man in the battlefield, because you FEELS are the same as accomplishment.

NEW REPORTING: @Comey
I understand the indictment was ready to go. I am told "all the evidence was there," not a "shaky" criminal case as characterized some media reporting. Critics of former US Attorney Erik Siebert allege he was "blocking" or "slow walking" the charges. Interim US Attorney Lindsey Halligan removed the blocks Key Factor: @FBIDirectorKash declassified FBI leak investigations codenamed "Arctic Haze"
Catherine Herridge* Revealed Comey's role authorizing media leaks (at least one involved classified information) through his FBI subordinates or through his Columbia law school professor Richman with SGE (Special Government Employee) status.
@C__Herridge
MORE TO COME @Comey
Based on my two decades covering @fbi
@TheJusticeDept
a thin indictment suggests a holding charge with the potential of a more complex, superseding indictment that adds more charges. This is not only possible, but plausible in Comey's case based on the recently declassified FBI leak investigations via @FBIDirectorKash
codenamed "ARCTIC HAZE." The "ARCTIC HAZE" records reveal several FBI senior leaders and Columbia Law Professor Daniel Richman said they coordinated media leaks at Comey's direction. James Rybicki - former FBI Chief of Staff
James Baker - former FBI General Counsel
Andrew McCabe - former Deputy Director
Daniel Richman - Columbia Law Professor
She writes more about ARCTIC HAZE here.

Sinclair will once again air the fat failure Jimmy Kimmel. The Democrats pressured Sinclair and some, like California assemblymember and pedo defender Scott Weiner, threatened that the FCC would be deployed to punish the stations that weren't airing Kimmel. See, that's good political pressure. Sinclair says in the third paragraph that the violent threats sent by the left, as well as the rifle bullets pumped into a Sacramento ABC station, persuaded them as well.

Fry some eggs. Lightly fry a good corn tortilla. Put some Herdez Salsa on it. Put some cilantro, onion, lime juice, and sea salt on top and there you go.
Huevos Rancheros.

A senior ICE official tells @FoxNews that today, ICE arrested the Superintendent of Des Moines, Iowa Public Schools, Dr. Ian Andre Roberts, who ICE says is an illegal alien from Guyana & and active ICE fugitive with a deportation order since May 2024.
And he deserves the title of DOCTOR even more than Jill Biden:
Mr. Roberts's PhD was awarded by a for-profit online university. For his dissertation in PK-12 leadership, he administered an online questionnaire to 15 "African American or Latinx" people (all working at one school), 10 of whom agreed to
The interviews consisted of 9 questions (plus follow-ups) that included such hard-hitters as: "Are you willing to exhaust efforts at giving students chances to succeed?"
Now, did the Des Moines school district not know that he was an illegal alien, or did they just not care?

Never. Ever. Give in to a bully. It emboldens the true coward that the bully is deep down inside.

I don't think it was the shooting/terrorism. I think it was the fact that ABC threatened to withhold other hit shows from them, if they refused to air Kimmel.

Unfortunately, seems to be overall true.
What were the two big things that stopped the violent left dead in its tracks in the early 1970s? I'll make an educated guess:
(1) being on the receiving end of National Guard bullets at Kent State in 1970.
(2) Weather Underground blowing itself up in Manhattan around 1971.

In Germany, a Syrian refugee polygamous family is causing outrage.
Ahmad lives with his 2 wives and 6 children in a free house. He says he’s looking for 2 more wives and wants to have 20 children.
He is illiterate, does not work, and says his only goal is to have many children to ‘make Germany more Muslim.’

I don't think it was the shooting/terrorism. I think it was the fact that ABC threatened to withhold other hit shows from them, if they refused to air Kimmel.
IMHO Sinclair should have called their bluff, and stopped acting as subsidiaries of Disney/ABC immediately. Bleed those Hollywood fcukers dry.

Are Deranged Left-Wingers Now Overdosing on Tylenol to "Own the CHUDs?"
Plus: GAINZZZ
Robert Malone on Tylenol and the FDA's sloppy, Big-Pharma-Phriendly "guidance."
And also: the possible use of a specific form of vitamin B9, folic acid, to reduce the effects of autism.
Note to those suffering from TDS- do not overdose on Tylenol. Tylenol overdose can kill you. How does it kill? By depleting a key molecule called glutathione, which is involved in the biochemical pathway by which Acetaminophen (eg Tylenol) is metabolized (broken down), which happens primarily in the liver. Like all drugs (and vaccines), Tylenol is toxic when taken in sufficient doses that exceed the "therapeutic window". The only question is whether or not the FDA has previously defined that "therapeutic window" too broadly. And, in the case of the developing brain, data suggest a strong risk that, in fact, the FDA has been too promiscuous in its Tylenol dosing guidance. For the most part, epidemiological analyses suggesting otherwise appear to have been compromised by previously unrecognized and unaccounted-for confounding variables. Sound familiar? The FDA and US HHS are now moving to correct that longstanding oversight. POTUS, who has a deep, longstanding, 20 year personal interest in Autism and ASD, has announced this shift in FDA policy and guidance in a press conference. And both dead media and their clients have mounted an aggressive campaign to attack and delegitimize the messengers. But unlike propaganda and marketing, data and actual objective clinical/scientific research are stubborn things.
... What is this drug that the FDA and NIH are endorsing as a potential treatment for some cases of Autism/Autism Spectrum disorder (ASD)? Leucovorin is otherwise known as Folinic acid. It is basically a synthetic vitamin, chemically and pharmacologically related to the vitamin known as Folic acid or B9. ... Adequate levels of folate are necessary to support fetal and child neurodevelopment. Administration of Folinic acid to a subset of children with ASD can result is marked improvements in ASD symptoms, including overall cognitive and communication function. .... Apparently these findings are supported by expert opinion and research at the NIH. Notice anything about these publications and journals? These findings are not being published in 'big" journals. Despite the growing incidence and prevalence of ASD, this basic and clinical research area has been treated as if any research or findings relating to ASD diagnosis and treatment are outside the Overton window of allowable medical and scientific discourse.
The left, a group of arts-and-crafts majors and Theater Kids who hilariously claim to be all about The Science (TM), is furiously denying all of their previous coverage of the possible link between acetaminophen and autism. In 2013, Reuters reported on a connection between Tylenol use by pregnant women and autism in their children. But now, they claim there's no scientific basis for making this connection. None at all!
Look at how CNN's reporting changed once the Trump administration warned about the link between Tylenol and risk to neurodevelopment.

As you know, pregnant leftwing women -- or "pregnant people," as CNN says...
ConversationThese reports, however, are all hearsay. "I heard from this guy," "I heard from this nurse." We have no confirmation of these stories and no details -- which hospital, for example. So I'm skeptical. Not because I doubt this could happen and may be happening, just because there's no evidence that this likely thing did happen. We would hope that if there are women showing up in the ER after a stupid TikTok stunt, the professional community of doctors and scientists would warn women that yes, Tylenol is dangerous in large doses -- but they wouldn't warn us, because that might Help Trump. I don't know why, but I just find this woman to be spilling over with common sense.

@NicoleSirotek Sep 24 Got a frantic call at 4am from a husband who was given my phone number via someone who had it.

Don't sweat that big number, "three years." Don't think of it as having to work out for three years before you finally get the benefit. No, you'll start seeing the benefits after a couple of weeks (though you might grumble about soreness and tightness for a while). It's just that after three years, you achieve "optimal" well-being. The study says, at least.
A new Canadian study is offering a powerful message to older adults and those who care for them: it's never too late to bounce back. Researchers at the University of Toronto have found that nearly one in four older adults age 60 or older who reported poor well-being at the beginning of a national study--due to pain, health issues, low mood, or isolation--had regained optimal well-being within just three years.
"This isn't just a story of resilience--it's a roadmap for how we can help more older adults recover and thrive," says first author Mabel Ho, a recent doctoral graduate at the University of Toronto's Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work (FIFSW) and the Institute of Life Course and Aging. "Our findings highlight the powerful role of modifiable lifestyle and psychosocial factors in shaping healthy aging trajectories." The researchers defined optimal well-being as the absence of severe physical, cognitive, mental, or emotional conditions that interfere with daily functioning, combined with high levels of self-reported physical health, mental well-being, happiness, and overall life satisfaction. The study focused exclusively on individuals who were in a state of suboptimal well-being at the outset. Their baseline health status was then compared to their condition after the three-year follow-up period to assess whether they had achieved optimal well-being. The researchers sought to identify factors associated with the likelihood that these older adults would recover. Remarkably, individuals who reported strong psychological and emotional wellness at the outset were over five times more likely to achieve this very high bar of 'optimal well-being' than those who were struggling with psychological well-being at baseline. Other baseline characteristics significantly associated with recovery included maintaining a healthy body weight, engaging in regular physical activity, avoiding insomnia, refraining from smoking, and participating in social activities. "It's incredibly encouraging to see that, with the right supports and lifestyle, many older adults can reclaim full health, happiness, and independence--even after serious health challenges," says Ho.

ZarathustraMy own GAINZZZ journey: I started to break my fast - or semi-fast -- Saturday night, and then actually ate a meal on Sunday. I didn't lose that much -- only ten pounds. That's not great for an 18 or 19 day fast. Previously, I've lost about three quarters of a pound per day. The trouble is that the second half of the "fast" was really just a semi-fast where I was eating a low number of calories, around 400-500, rather than none at all. If you fast -- and I'm not saying you should -- you may feel light-headed. This happens, I believe -- and unlike every left-wing Twitter Expert in Everything, I'm not an expert --because when you fast, your body starts peeing out unnecessary water, and you lose about five pounds of water weight in the first five days. This results -- again, I believe -- in a decrease of water in your blood and thus a reduction in blood volume, which results in low blood pressure and therefore light-headedness. That's why I make sure I have electrolytes in the form of bone broth (100 calories per large cup) and pickles (5-6 calories per quarter pickle). To try to retain water and keep my blood pressure at a normal level. Also -- and I don't recommend this, I'm just saying this is what I do -- I halve my blood pressure medicine during a fast. My blood pressure is already going down, I don't need to really beat it down with medicine. Halfway through the fast I made the mistake of having my full blood pressure dose and immediately got light-headed. I ate some crackers to try to get my blood pressure back up. And that re-awakened my hunger, and then I just started having 400-500 calories per day after that, and stopped losing significant amounts of weight. So, kind of a failure of a fast. Or, maybe not a failure, but a fizzle. I didn't see the really spectacular results from my 27-day real-deal-Holyfield fast, where I lost, I don't know, 25 pounds of fat, maybe? I'll try another one in a month or two. At least I'm now at an okay weight. Okay >>> Not Okay. Do you have any GAINZZZ?!
@zarathustra5150 19h "Mangione's fanbase seem to be mostly young women from well-off backgrounds, and while his looks play in part, there is notably a late tsarist tendency among younger American leftists to revel in political violence. Perhaps they genuinely believe they're fighting 'fascism', or they find their comfortable and safe lives too anxiety-inducing and would rather the thrill of political and social breakdown. Old fuddy-duddy that I am, I think of Kenneth Clark's wise words: 'Like the people of Alexandria, they are bored by civilisation; but all the evidence suggests that the boredom of barbarism is infinitely greater."

If that's the case, I must be a Soros-level collaborator, 'cause I've lost over 40 pounds on the stuff.
I take it for diabetes, not weight loss specifically. I'm more impressed by the fact that I don't have to jab myself with insulin any more than the weight loss per se.

oh yeah. I wound up in an ambulance while I was fasting and also doing hard martial arts. My blood pressure fell to something like 40/20.
So yeah, the only exercise you can do while fasting is light exercise just to send hormonal signals that your body should NOT burn muscle for fuel. You cannot gain muscle while eating no food (obviously). and hard cardio will just make you sweat and deplete you of water when you're already dehydrated.

The bone broth and pickles are good, but are they sufficient for the fluid level you should keep?
Dehydration also can cause rapid heartbeat and heart stress...so I'd be careful that the fast, which lets you drop your BP dose artificially, probably b/c you are in a slightly dehydrated state, isn't actually stressing your heart...

I'm basically on an intermittent fasting schedule, where I eat one meal around 10-11 a.m. and another meal around 5-6 p.m. and that's it. No in-between meal snacking.

If you ever find yourself in a situation where you are surrounded by these retards, look into the distance over their heads and yell: "FREE CHOCOLATE PUDDING! THAT SIGN OVER THERE SAYS, FREE CHOCOLATE PUDDING!"
You may think, "how in the hell is that going to help me?" Two words. "Hometown Buffet". Years ago I was at a Hometown Buffet, and a short bus pulled up.

We need to start snapping back on the mis-use of "genocide". Fat people are lacking in discipline, but their DNA is indistinguishable from the rest of us. IF we chose to purposely eliminate fat people from the entirety of the globe, it would be an immoral choice but NOT "genocide" since "their" gene pool would continue own with the rest of us.
The same is true of "Palestinians". Their DNA is the same as that of the Syrians, Jordanians, and Egyptians. We would decimate "Palestine", and have healthy debates like "Gee, why didn't we do that sooner?", but the act itself would not be "genocide" since others with their DNA will live on.

40% of liver transplants are due to heavy drinking, whether or not Tylenol is a factor of this statistic I don't know.
It appears I don't know a whole lot, but I have known, for many years not to take Tylenol if I have a glass of wine. I also don't take Advil unless I have to, whether the rare glass of wine or not.
The tik tok pregnant women I "hope" are just filming for attention vs being this stupid. However, in 2025, they probably are this stupid.
I don't remember if I took Tylenol with our sons. I do know that prior to knowing they were on the way there was booze. They turned out fine and are very smart and successful, so I did not harm them. Once I had a blood test for pregnancy in California as I thought I was preggers with #2. So I did not party on that business trip with my husband and toddler son. I ain't stupid, altho I am blonde.
In the 7th month with this baby I got bronchitis and a horrific cough. My OB assured me taking the antibiotic and codeine cough syrup was needed to prevent early labor. Baby was fine. Apgars 8/9.

They've been flooding their basements for criminals and other "bad boys" from time immemorial. This should be no surprise at all. They were creaming themselves over Richard "The Nightstalker" Ramirez, a murderer and rapist. He had groupies sending him naked pics and letters.

Yes. This has been known for a long time. My sons are in their 40's and even I, from the Civil War, took prenatal vitamins.
Our DIL was told to now take 1 baby aspirin/day to prevent eclampsia this past year. This is new.
I am unsure but think OB's now put all pregnant mothers on this. As she was over age 35, she was considered to be a geriatric pregnancy, bless her. Both she and our newest princess did well, thanks be to God.

It had been awhile since I was out jogging so when I started in January I had to constantly stop and bend over with hands on knees to catch my breath. What was embarrassing and unexpected was how many neighborhood ladies would open their doors and yell if I was okay, thinking they might need to call an ambulance, I suppose. Fully realized during those humbling moments I did not look like a young man anymore.

I've seen a couple of those types argue fat men are unacceptable because
1) Men are supposed to be the defenders, workers, and physically active ones
2) Fat men are gross and fat women are goddesses
3) Big tits on a woman are a good thing, big tits on a man are not

As a former pregnant woman, I can say the problem with "don't do that" for hundreds of things is that you cause them to throw up their hands and just say "screw it, I'll do whatever" - it would be helpful to them and us for someone to actually prioritize what is ACTUALLY bad (like heavy drinking and drugs) and what is in theory bad (I remember fish being bad one pregnancy, okay the next, and then back to bad - it was nutty)...same for lunch meat - the badness is overstated b/c the concern is listeria, which can be mitigated almost entirely by how you buy it and when you consume it.

The drinking thing is an especially good example of this.
My memory is the actual science says having an occasional drink doesn't matter. Drinking regularly and often does.
But if you say "having a glass of wine a week is ok" the fear is some women will take this as "I can drink all I want!"
Which is both likely true and a stupid reason to make these kinds of restrictions.

I hope you are feeling better besides the weight loss!!

I'm down 36 pounds, which is a nice by-product of not having constant gut pain. Plus, feeling better means I can exercise more. All around better health!!

kettle and Fire make a good bone broth. Available on Amazon. A little pricey at $7 for like 16 ounces.
if you're afraid of madcow, get the chicken. the best is chicken and mushroom, which has an extra 20 calories but it's worth it.

I really get a kick out of her vids because she uses an impulse movement, analogous to a control stick rap that produces, like a fourier transfer of an impulse, a broadband, theoretically infinite series of modal responses. She could just sit there sine waving us but no, she makes use of her deep understanding of structural dynamics to give us so much more.

I get the impression that you are surrounded by Lefties from various comments you have made. If you're not free to tell them to fvkc off, just ignore them as much as possible.
I have no doubt that Secretary of War has a bigger purpose than a photo-op. The Deep State particularly loathes Hegseth. It was only a few months ago, they were screaming, "He transmitted war plans!!! Reee!!!" when the real story was that it was actually espionage on the part of a journalist who was given access by an insider threat.

Because of negative press and the AMA bs they will always bend to Tylenol from liability fear. Where did that come from? They will prescribe a medication mixed with a poison in deference to a medication that may irritate your stomach. Hint "take with food", it's on the label.
Big Pharma is responsible for this.

That depends wildly on fitness level and what they call a pushup. Every time I've ever seen a guy claim to be able to do dozens of pushups without rest, his "pushups" are little bobs with about a four inch range of motion. EVERY. TIME.
I can currently do 30 full range of motion pushups without rest. By full range of motion I mean the down position is the chest touching and nothing else. Full plank with a level body. From my shoulders through my hips and to my ankles is a straight line. The up position is arm lockout without pushing the shoulders down. Again, full plank position.

Tylenol has had a warning on their bottle labels for a long time that if pregnant consult a health professional before taking. This really is TDS. Tylenol is not banned; basically what was said that if pregnant talk to your doctor because these findings are piling up. RFKjr even recognized that taking might be necessary he simply emphasized it's necessary to talk to your doctore before doing it.

I've heard that one reason codeine is generally mixed with tylenol is to keep junkies from dosing themselves up with it.
Because being in the hospital hoping for a liver transplant is somehow better than abusing a minor opiate. Or something.
Same basic reason they put poison in perfectly good grain alcohol to "denature" it, 'cause if people drank it the federal, state, and local government would lose out on all that sweet, sweet tax money.

Yes indeed, they are all different form. Malone goes into a little detail about that, but not much. As Helena said above, "folate" is the "most desirable" form. Folic acid, which is what is used in supplements and fortification/enrichment in foods, is synthetic. I hate to use "natural" vs "synthetic" because that implies "natural" good and "synthetic" bad. It's much more complicated than that.
Folic acid has to be metabolized into the useful folate form. Some people, due to genetic variations can't do that as well as others.
Leafy green vegetables are good sources of folate. Turnip greens and spinach are loaded with it.

I don't use any OTC pain killers. First is they do almost nothing to relieve pain, and they're damned dangerous if you have liver issues like I do.
My first shitty Hindu doctor that I was assigned by CA when I was on subsidized insurance after moving back from Texas a few years ago was a cardiologist. His attitude was "you're over 50, therefore you have heart disease". He prescribed low dose aspirin to EVERYONE regardless of their condition.
When I changed over to Kaiser and a good primary care doc, he freaked out when I pointed out that Doc Vishnu Brahma Kama Sutra had me on aspirin. It could give me internal bleeding from esophageal varices again, which almost killed me and put me in the ICU about 8 years ago.

I'm sure most of you have heard of B@l@nce of N@ture vegetable and fruit extract capsules. Two years ago I tried the stuff. After 5-6 months a skin condition on one of my legs cleared up and minor chronic pain in one knee went away. Did the supplements do it? I have no proof they did. Since beginning these supplements I do feel better overall - can't describe it in detail but I feel better overall. Again, I cannot prove the stuff did that.
I've continued taking it. It's not cheap, $70 for a 30-day supply at a the recommended 3 of each capsules per day. If you can afford it, consider giving it a try. I used to take a lot of different supplements. A few months ago I cut all but zinc and vitamin D. I also take a multivitamin. I'm still taking the B of A stuff and haven't noticed any downside from ending my half-dozen other supplements like choline, folic acid, magnesium, etc.

To show how complicated this folic acid vs folate thing is, guess what, there is a correlation between high levels of "unused" folic acid (and B12) and autism. What the hell?
I was reading something about this the other day to the folate/autism thing.
It may well be that folic acid builds it up in mothers who can't metabolize folic acid too well, but are taking the supplements, and that is actually bad.

I had major internal surgery with, opiates at hospital, and for home recovery was given scary amounts of Tylenol. Reason: NSAIDs like aspirin and Advil prevent blood clotting, which was a concern for 3 weeks post recovery. But I was so afraid of Tylenol, knowing its liver harm, I actually went some 8 hours a day in pain to make sure I staid well below toxic levels.

Of Course: Soros DA Alvin Bragg Gives Black Leftist Who Pummeled a Black Pro-Life Activst a Free Pass
Pro-life advocate Savannah Craven Antao -- a pretty woman -- was doing simple man-on-the-street interviews about abortion.
Pro-abortion lunatic Brianna J. Rivers -- a, get this, obese ugly woman with a low executive brain function and thus an inability to control her own outbursts of retarded violence -- violently smashed her in the face, out of the blue, during a fairly calm exchange.BREAKING - DA Alvin Bragg’s office has dismissed charges against Brianna J. Rivers, who assaulted pro-life advocate Savannah Craven Antao on camera in April, allowing the felony to be downgraded to a misdemeanor and then dropped entirely. pic.twitter.com/pSbmVzPZSC

@CollinRugg NEW: Pro-life advocate Savannah Craven Antao says charges against the woman who brutally assaulted her on camera have been dismissed by DA Alvin Bragg's office. Craven Antao was assaulted back in April while conducting a street interview in NYC. "Brianna J. Rivers was arrested and reportedly charged with felony assault," the pro-lifer explained. "But after an interview with two prosecutors, I was informed that the felony had been downgraded to a misdemeanor." "On July 23, 2025, I find out the prosecution simply allowed this misdemeanor to be dismissed on speedy trial grounds, apparently due to the prosecution's failure to file a certificate of readiness." "My assailant, Brianna J. Rivers, continues to show zero remorse and make jokes about her act of violence toward me and other pro-lifers." "Shame on you, Alvin Bragg." They are literally endorsing violence against conservatives. Infuriating. Video: savannahantao / tt

Geoffrey Ingersol says enough is enough. If left-wing Soros prosecutors are giving their street troops permission to attack us, we'll just do what people have done throughout history, before the arrival of impartial law. We'll take care of business ourselves. In a lawless city, you are responsible for your own safety. His basic point is that people don't attack each other in the streets -- or we didn't, previously -- because the cost of doing so was too high. But leftist DAs and Democrat politicians are demanding that their leftist street militias pay no cost at all for attacking people. That means that people are going to have to impose those costs themselves.
Alvin Bragg's office dismissed a felony assault charge yesterday. That shouldn't be a shock to anyone -- nobody is more renowned for soft on violent crime prosecutions than Bragg. What is shocking though is in this particular case the act was caught on film. What's more, the assailant then went on social media and bragged about doing it. Pro-life advocate Savannah Craven Antao was doing a man-on-the-street video in Harlem, New York, when she was abruptly and viciously assaulted by a woman she was interviewing. Brianna J. Rivers, a brutish, hulking woman, socked Antao in the face twice the moment she was distracted. This is dead-to-rights felony aggravated assault. It should result in prison time and probation. Prosecutors initially downgraded the charge to a misdemeanor, then dismissed the charges altogether. And the message couldn't be clearer.Now I gotta tell you: I think this is terrible advice for the individual. If you beat the shit out of an antifa thug who threw a bottle of piss at you, guess who's going to jail if you're in a blue state or blue city in a red state? As the Proud Boys about that, who were absurdly overcharge for fighting back against an Antifa disruptor who attacked them. I mean, socially, we might benefit from a few vigilantes sacrificing their freedom for the greater good, but believe you me, if a conservative decides to take out his own Street Reparations from a left-wing thug, he's going to prison for a long time. And he'll be sentenced under state law, with very limited possibilities for federal court review. Ask Daniel Penny. You'll notice that BLM and Antifa are much better behaved in red states, of course. Because they know they have no free pass for violence, and they know that citizens' rights to defend themselves will be upheld. Steven Crowder started the "Change My Mind" debate format. He had to give it up, he says, because of constant death threats from Antifa and assaults (unpunished by leftwing courts):
How do we fix this? In corrupt legal scenarios, where the judges, prosecutors and even police are all a part of a rigged system, what do we do? Choose violence. We all know the government is not going to help you in your time of need. Especially a Soros-sponsored government. Conservatives looking to peacefully assemble and publicly debate need to be realistic. Nobody is going to help you. In fact, they're going to encourage violence. They're going to excuse, justify and encourage it. We saw as much with Charlie Kirk. They were practically begging someone to go after him, and when someone did, they quickly justified it. Well, I think now that we know the extent of it, the time to go as lambs to the slaughter is OVER. In real terms, this means: Bring security with you that's dying to dole out drubbings. I'm sure a fair amount of ex-cons who found Jesus loved Charlie Kirk. Maybe they need work? Whatever works. We need to reinstitute the cost.

I suspect that when this all shakes out one way or the other, we are going to learn the same thing that Red China learned after Mao got around to dying and his successor had to end the Cultural Revolution: that the two unreformable groups were a smattering of insane radicals (the trannies, in our case) and young women who were recruited and indoctrinated as Red Guards before around age 16.
Most of the Red Guards went home (and many were silently murdered by the fellow villagers in the years that followed, of course - retribution is a thing) when the Party told them to. The batshit sub-groups and thoroughly indoctrinated women didn't. The army had to deal with them. We're not that bad off yet, but I suspect our unreformables will track Red China's experience.

The Dirty Harry movies, the Charles Bronson Deathwish movies, the Guardian Angels -- any number of vigilante justice boosters. It all stemmed from a post-Vietnam era of anarchists running amok and law enforcement being too slow to deal with it. Well, that cycle seems to have started again: Proud Boys, the "sudden" bravado from the Right post-Charlie Kirk, the rise of conservatism in young men. It's a response to anarchists getting away with literal murder.
The only difference I see now is that the media used to be somewhat supportive of the vigilantes' motives, albeit opposed to their tactics. Now, our media are in full-throated opposition to their narrative of oppressed/oppressor, so Kyle Rittenhouse is a villain, Daniel Penny is a murderer, supporters of Kirk are transphobes.
"Good guy with a gun" needs to watch his back in 2025 for doing things that would've been lauded in 1975.

If you are anything other than a lunatic leftist and live in one of these places and you value your life and your liberty, you need to leave. Yesterday is best, today is still good.
There is nothing to be gained by staying. Your pride and history don't mean jack shit to the leftist thugs who would as soon kill you as look at you, or to the activists in the courts that will put you under the jail for any reason they can dream up. Swallow your pride, retreat and regroup to fight another day.
Leave. Come join the rest of us in places that are still sane and help us reinforce our lines, because that's what it's going to come to eventually in the very literal sense.

BREAKING: A senior ICE official tells @FoxNews
that today, ICE arrested the Superintendent of Des Moines, Iowa Public Schools, Dr. Ian Andre Roberts, who ICE says is an illegal alien from Guyana & and active ICE fugitive with a deportation order since May 2024. Fox is told Dr. Roberts fled from ICE agents in his car once they ID’d themselves as immigration agents, speeding away, then abandoning the car. He was found in a brushy area 200 yards away with the help of an Iowa State Police K9. Per ICE official, agents found a loaded gun, a “fixed blade hunting knife”, and $3,000 cash in Dr. Robert’s vehicle.

1) No. DAs drop charges all the time.
2) This was a criminal battery case, not a civil rights case. Her assailant was not a state actor.
3) Procedure and time frames regarding the right to speedy trial are established state by state. In New York the longest allowable period is 6 months from the commencement of a criminal action.

Better legal minds than me should weigh in, but can we not get creative here and charge malicious prosecutors like Bragg with (federal) conspiracy charges? (That is, becoming an after-the fact conspirator to the crime by intentionally allowing the perpetrator to avoid consequences.)
Deprivation of rights under the color of authority is already a federal crime, right? Isn't the intentional denial of actual justice a violation of civil rights?
Just spitballing here, but maybe some legal eagles can make a better case for it.

I firmly believe to succeed within the Demonic Party, one must be firmly representative of the psychological framework of socially aversive personality traits called The Dark Tetrad:
• Narcissism (entitlement, need for admiration)
• Machiavellianism (manipulative, cynic, strategic deceit)
• Psychopathy (impulsivity, antisocial behavior, lack of remorse)
• Sadism (enjoy hurting people)
These traits are seen in each and every member of The Party who have any level of power at or above Dog Catcher.

Ice detained Des Moines Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Ian Roberts. Google says he was born in Brooklyn. Competed in Olympics for Guyana in 2000...some Rhodes scholar probably made a case for that.
After more searching, I think you are incorrect. He "spent his childhood" in Brooklyn. He's quoted as saying "one day I hope to return to my birthplace of Guyana, South America as a public servant.”
Photo of the gun recovered by ICE agents in Dr. Robert’s vehicle today, per senior ICE official. FOX is told it was a loaded Glock 19.
I have a hard time believing DMPS wouldn't verify the immigration status of any hire for such a high profile position

This isn't a legal problem unless the feds are willing and able to put a stop to it, with legal machinery.
If you are being assaulted, raped, murdered by people and the local government deliberately allows it by refusing to prose ute - or worse, prosecuting you for fighting back - then the local government is assaulting, raping, and murdering.you. This is not rocket science. Fucking shoot back.
The ONLY argument for holding back is hoping the feds will step in. We will see if they do, they are running out of time. Once the dam breaks it will be horrific.

The "Mississippi Miracle:" Mississippi and Other Southern States Are Now Leading the Country In Literacy Rates Thanks to Common-Sense Education Standards
Southerners are illiterate and ill-educated?
Sorry, Hoss, you mean California and other blue states are illiterate and ill-educated. Mississippi and other states are now leading most others in childhood literacy and reading achievement.I've banged the drum about this a lot. Educrats are Cargo Cultists who see what the faster-readers are doing and think, "Hey, we'll just tell the slow-readers to do what the fast-readers are doing!" If you're good at redanig, and I asusem most of you are, you read alstmo words by a glance. You know the conxtet of the sectecen, you note the first letter of the wrod, and you see the legthn of the word. You don't read the word letter-by-lrtetel. You scan it at a glnace. In fact, studies have shown that it doesn't matter how many misspellings occur in the interior of a word. If the first letter is right and the length is right, you'll blip right over the misspelled word and read it as the right one. As you did in the last paragraph, in which every fourth word was deliberately jumbled. So this is what experienced readers do -- people who have read millions of words. Fast-reading kids do this too, but with the much-smaller vocabulary they've already become very familiar with. But before that -- they used the phonics method, reading letter by letter and sounding out the words. You use phonics to learn to read. Once you know how to read, you can start reading words-at-a-glance. But stupid, incompetent educrats decided to stop teaching phonics to the slower readers and tell them to just read whole words via the "whole language" method the way that faster-readers do. The problem? The faster readers didn't start with reading whole words at a glance, they started with phonics. And stupid educrats decided to saw off the first five rungs of the reading ladder and tell slower-readers to just jump up to the sixth run. They did this with math, too, which is why parents cannot help their kids learn math any longer. Kids who are good at math begin noticing little patterns and making shortcuts in math. Like, the most simple sort of shortcut: If the problem is 350 divided by 30, you don't divide 350 by 30. You notice that both numbers are divisible by ten and divide everything by ten first, to get 35 divided by 3. A much easier problem to work out. (You might also see that 3 goes into 36 12 times evenly, so that the answer will be just a scotch lower than 12.) But before kids can learn to do this, they have to take math step-by-step. You can't skip steps until you know the actual steps. But just like with reading, idiot incompetent educrats decided that the kids who are bad at math should be taught the grab-bag of little tricks and short cuts the kids who are good at math have intuitively learned after doing lots and lots of math by the step-by-step approach.
This month, the Department of Education released its latest edition of the National Assessment of Educational Progress, the standardized tests better known as the Nation's Report Card. The results have left me blazing with rage. In my home state of California, for instance, only 30% of public school fourth graders can read proficiently. Fully 41% cannot even read at a basic level -- which is to say, they cannot really understand and interpret written text at all. Eighth graders, as you might expect, look almost as bad. These numbers have been tumbling downhill in California and more widely across the U.S. for years now, and not just because of school closures during the pandemic. Nationwide, reading scores for fourth graders peaked back in 2015, and while the especially ugly 2022 outcomes were dismissed at first as COVID-19 outliers, scores have fallen further since. The decline is the worst for the kids who were already struggling; the test scores of the bottom 10% of students have dropped catastrophically. But scores are not slipping everywhere. In Mississippi, they have been rising year over year. The state recovered from a brief decline during COVID and has now surpassed its pre-COVID highs. Its fourth grade students outperform California's on average, even though our state is richer, more educated, and spends about 50% more per pupil. The difference is most pronounced if you look at the most disadvantaged students. In California, only 28% of Black fourth graders read at or above basic level, for instance, compared to 52% in Mississippi. But it's not just that Mississippi has raised the floor. It has also raised the ceiling: The state is also one of the nation's best performers when you look at students who are not "economically disadvantaged."
Consider this the latest chapter of the "Mississippi Miracle," which has seen the state climb from 49th in the country on fourth grade reading to ninth nationally. This rise has received a great deal of coverage in publications ranging from The New York Times to The New York Post. And yet, it still feels as if what's taking place in the Deep South still has been grossly undersold. First, it's not just Mississippi -- Louisiana, Alabama, and Tennessee have adopted the same strategies, stemmed the bleeding affecting states elsewhere, and seen significant improvements. Second, many people who aren't too focused on education policy seem to imagine Mississippi has simply stopped underperforming, that they're now doing about as well as everyone else. This is not true. They haven't just caught up to your state; they are now wildly outperforming it. If you live where I do, in Oakland, California, and you cannot afford private education, you should be seriously considering moving to Mississippi for the substantially better public schools. Black students are as likely to be basic-or-above readers in Mississippi (where the median Black household income was $37,900 in 2023) as in national top performer Massachusetts (where the median Black household income was $67,000 in 2022.) ... To fail [in teaching children to read] is to lastingly abandon a significant fraction of our children to a lifelong struggle. And blue states have been failing. We have been spending lots of money on schools, but we have not been willing to muster the political will and effort necessary to hold those schools accountable for results and adopt teaching practices that actually work. For a while, there was the excuse that it was hard to know what did work. But over the last 15 years, as Mississippi has scaled the state rankings and other southern states have mimicked its success, it has become clear that we do know -- or we could, if we wanted to. "People are at a loss and would rather refer to it as the "Mississippi Miracle" than look under the hood to see what is really happening," Kareem Weaver, the executive director of FULCRUM, a literacy advocacy group here in Oakland, told me. "They aren't doing anything that others can't do. In fact, they are doing it with far less money than most state departments of education have at their disposal." We just have to ask ourselves: Are we going to do it, or is it unimportant to us whether our children learn to read? ... [T]here are some obvious commonalities among the Southern Surge states. White names three, the first of which sounds obvious in retrospect but was in fact novel: The states adopted reading curricula backed by actual scientific research. This led to them adopting phonics-based early literacy programs and rejecting ones that used the debunked "whole language" method that encourages students to vaguely guess at words based on context instead of figuring them out sound-by-sound.
That's what I just said.
This is the part of the story that has gotten the most attention -- teach phonics! And you should, indeed, teach phonics.
But making schools adopt the approach took more than a mere nudge. The Southern Surge states have tried earmarked funding, guidance to districts, and outright mandates to accomplish universal adoption.In other words: the states had to force teachers to stop using a method that didn't work and start teaching a method that does work. They didn't want to teach phonics because they didn't want to have to learn phonics themselves to teach it. They want to just tell kids to just look at word and magically divine its meaning. Because it's easier for them. Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. Those who can't teach, teach for the US public school system.
"Those states all made a commitment to rigorous reviews of the highest quality published materials for students and some level of incentive -- whether it was voluntary or involuntary -- for districts to implement those curriculums," White said. ...Hm, what have they gotten distracted by? Maybe on teaching that there are 57 genders with new genders being scientifically discovered every day?
The third pillar is everyone's least favorite, but it's equally crucial. "Number three is clear accountability at the district level, at the school level, at the educator level, and at the student and parent level," White said. Accountability, of course, means standardized tests, requirements that students master reading before they are advanced to the fourth grade, and rankings of schools on performance. Accountability is no fun; when there aren't active political currents pushing for it, it tends to erode. But it's badly needed. "Schools have gotten very distracted," White told me. "And at the same time, many states have been loosening the incentive structures that exist to focus on reading and math knowledge and skills. I think you have to question that. I think you have to see that these states have all had stringent accountability as a core tenet and have done it over successive administrations even when it wasn't a popular thing to do."

1. Earn a *lot* more money, and enter the top rank
2. Earn more money, and end up in the top rank by default because everyone else blew their money on hookers and blow and dick surgeries.
In the middle is where most of it happens. A lot of states have started taking it seriously and got better. The former top states destroyed what they had. Nowhere is as good as it was 30+ years ago.

Does the survey control for nationality or ESL? Because I *strongly* suspect that if you subtract illegals, California's numbers probably look quite a bit better. I am sure it has declined radically from its peak, but I bet it's not as bad as it looks if controlling for that fairly big variable.

The abandonment of known effective teaching methods (most of them just common sense) for all sorts of "new" pedagogical this and that. School teachers having masters in education (!!). On and on.
CA has been ruined by several avoidable things, but the teacher's union is one of the most important. Not only have they overseen the degradation of formerly the best educational system in the nation, their "union" has been the most powerful force in Sacramento for many years, of course always pushing for/getting the most damaging and indefensible nonsense advanced, in all policy areas.
Everyone my age here, especially those with kids, thanks the stars we got in *just* under the wire on it all. Excellent education from K to college, free or inexpensive. Yeah of course many wheels turning here, including cultural decline of so many parents since our day, but the contrast is so dramatic it's stunning.

If there is one thing that has been made *abundantly* clear over the past 40 years, it is "student performance and per-pupil spending are not correlated."
We spend gobs more per-pupil in real terms than we used to, and results are worse. Class sizes are smaller, and results are worse. There is more technology, and results are worse. There are more student programs, more administration, more teachers, more everything - and results are worse.
American schools don't have a money problem. American schools have a performance problem.

I can't shake the belief that people are getting dumber at a quicker pace. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting another example of stupidity these days.
Catalyst for this belief: Today coming out a convenience store I watched a young woman drop her phone while standing on the sidewalk in front of the store. Her phone landed in the parking lot with no cars coming or going. But, instead of taking a step off the curb to pick it up. She tried to pick it up from the sidewalk (an extra 6" at least to reach). She fell forward, spilled her drink, landed on her side, and I think on her phone.

It really is all about the Benjamins, and what public school teachers are paid. If teaching is bog-simple, then their demands for more money are laughable, so it must be made more complicated and ineffective than it is.

Did you see that Kotex had notified the various agencies that instead of a surplus, the state budget has 375 Million dollar shortfall, which she blames on Trump cutting monies to the state.
Which tells me that she had been planning to balance the money on COVID funds and NGO kickbacks.
Oh, and that shortfall in ODOT money that required that the state demand that the Kicker return on surplus tax revenue (it's an Oregon thing) be taken in violation of state law was before she figured out that Trump had cut her off.
ODOT may have to build fewer roundabouts on highways if this keeps up.

But that reminds me of another aspect of the idiocy of the teacher's unions and affiliated/like-minded operations.
"Bilingual education" - a fantastic idea when it means introducing proficient native speakers to *foreign* languages - is of course a disaster when used to keep non-native speakers from learning the language of their adopted country. In another episode that brings back wistful memories of CA voters not being complete cretins, bilingual education was banned by initiative.
Hilariously, the two main antagonist "groups" were Asian immigrant parents (in favor of banning), and teachers/education-adjacent remoras. The measure passed. This time, instead of getting faithless constitutional officers to help a lawless federal court nix it (see Prop
, or just surrendering when a ridiculous federal ruling resulted (see Prop 187), the new approach was .... defiance, not obeying the law. Surprise!
That got snuffed out fairly quickly, which is astonishing, but was quite "instructive" (heh).

Most of these drills are worthless, anyway... e.g. "Stay in your classroom, sitting against the wall". Yeah? So the shooter doesn't have to hit moving targets? That's some first rate "expert advice" there, idiots.
I've heard that in some districts these have even replaced drills for REAL potential hazards (e.g., earthquakes on the west coast, tornados in the midwest and south, fire everywhere), which is just fucking retarded.

In second grade we got a random few weeks of phonics lessons. I learned to read instantly and after that was always bored with reading class because I read through every new reading book the day it was passed out.
I never liked school and any education I have is mainly from voraciously reading on whatever subject interests me.
Currently I read the same books again and again because I read so fast I can't afford to buy enough books to feed my habit.
I'm not meaning to brag, but my point is that without learning phonics I would have struggled just as much as all those kids we hear about.
Depriving a child of what most any child can have and what every child needs is just despicable. And I do not think this is being done by accident.

This is similar to what was tried with Common Core math. People that do lots of math eventually work out little tricks like rounding up or down etc.. to make doing it in your head easier. Common Core tries to use these tricks to teach kids how to do math from the beginning. But the huge error is that first you have to have math skill learned form memorization and repetition. Only then can you apply those tricks to do it in your head. Furthermore, those are only for doing it in your head, not working it out on paper, as Common Core tries to teach kids.

It feels weird as hell to carry a concealed weapon for a while. You feel like everyone's looking at you. You feel like an alien. But that feeling passes.
Spend time at the range.
Work on drawing from concealed at home.
Diligently check the weapon several times when you do this. Leave ammo in a completely separate room and say out loud, "The weapon is unloaded" after you check. Then when you load it again, say out loud, "The weapon is loaded" and don't handle it anymore.

A lot is spent on materials and programs, which require consultants, special pay and "training" trips to offsite locations on expense account.
Learning a new "technique" for teaching is not only lucrative for teachers, but it is fun and has plenty of room for graft. So they have new techniques every few years and there is nothing new about "sound it out."
The country has wasted many billions on teaching teachers how to fuck up our kids.

My favorite example of it was some court case (Ohio, I think), where the defense lawyer diagrammed the sentence in the law and demonstrated that "flashing" (as in "flashing lights") was a noun and not a verb, and therefore his client was not guilty of violating "flashing lights" provisions for flashing (verb) his headlights (noun).

The children should've been taught by their parents to read before entering first grade, not dumped at a school and been expected to start from zero.
These kids are years behind pace because their parents refused to teach them anything so they're instantly put on the remedial track and constantly falling further behind.

Not asking "lay people" about how to perform a surgery, but parents sure should have asked more questions about "why are you forcing an untested 'vax' on my children that are not at risk?"
Or of the unions more parents should have demand to know "why are you destroying my child's learning/future by keeping him isolated and out of school?"

I am from Mississippi. Have not lived there for 50yrs since college out West, but have family there and a farm. When I went out West, age 20yrs, I was unique in many ways. First, I had teeth. And,while I had a thick accent, I was competing in difficult pre-med classes with mostly males. I honestly did not care what people thought of me as once they knew me I had many friends. I had a blast in college and beyond.
I had a very good public school education. Our school had black kids who wanted a better education. Of 50 kids in this class, many became doctors, lawyers, architects, nurses and teachers. I became a RN from a very tough college in the West.
Then the federal government redistricted us in 1970. I skipped my junior year by taking American Lit and American History in summer school. Was basically forced to to to a private school for 1 miserable year. Graduated HS at age 16yrs.
I had enough self confidence to believe I could achieve anything, and did.
Mississippi, from what I read a few years ago, decided to introduce phonics and keep back 4th graders who could not compete. This is the result.

One moment they are telling you they recognize as They/Them...and in the next they are using singular pronouns like "I" and "my". Mostly, it's because they don't realize that "I" and "my" are singular pronouns, which they would had they learned to diagram a sentence.

Son had severe (clinical) agoraphobia for over 15 years.

He's also taking ancient Greek and loving it - has decided to minor in it - since he wants to go into art/museum archival and preservation. His classmates don't know how to write a paragraph without consulting ChatGPT, and it shows.

Having strong skills and a wide vocabulary in English makes learning related (read: W. European) language easier, too. Finding cognates and mongrel loanwords is much easier when you know a lot of words. Especially coming *from* English, which has spent its entire history helping itself to everyone else's vocabulary.

But that's not the roundabout's fault, that's all of traffic. You always make sure people are stopping for their red light, same with yield signs, same with roundabouts. But everyone blames the roundabout when some asshole barrels into it without looking, while no one blames the red light when people run it.

Our rural elementary school had optional language classes starting in the 6th grade. IIRC they had both German and French. Everybody that I knew wanted to take German because then we would know what the Krauts were saying when we watched Rat Patrol and Combat on TV. Sadly they both got dropped the year before I could take one. I don't recall why but my guess is both teachers retired.

The IBM Selectric II is still the keyboard with the best feel. IBM's own attempt to reproduce it for computer use - the legendary Model M keyboard - is close.
I more or less have to use one. I type *hard.* I always have (but I have used a manual typewriter maybe once or twice in my life). My wrists and fingers would hurt when I typed a lot - and I work in computers, so it was all the time. Braces, whatever. Nothing worked.
An older colleague told me, "spend a hundred bucks and buy a Model M. It's a lot. It's worth it. Your problem will go away." He was right. The key action on it prevents bottoming out by allowing you to feel it about to break free on each keypress because of how the mechanism works, and so you unconsciously back off.
Haven't had finger or wrist pain in *years.* That old guy saved me a lot of pain.

Some of it is magnificent and I am glad I picked it up. Some if it is just awful and I cannot understand how it got rated so highly.
And I'd love to have a Model M keyboard, but damn those things are expensive

I have seen that if the "shape" of the word is similar it works much better. So replacing the letters that stick out with similar letters makes it easy to recognize misspelled words.
It is first letter, length, and shape.

Spectacularly so.
If you want to be depressed go look at work on the communication barriers present between different levels of IQ. I work in a high skilled, professional environment and it's a daily struggle to understand what some coworkers don't understand about things, so I can explain it at their level.
Take any technical concept. Describe it in 2-3 sentences. Now pick a word at random, any word. Imagine trying to work with someone who fundamentally does not comprehend the word, or believes it has some random definition. And you have to play minesweeper finding which word it is... and you can't teach them what it means when you ID it, you have to work around it. Because they're incapable of learning it. This is "teach grandma to program the VCR" level pain.

On a Saturday in the summer of 1985, I was having lunch at the kitchen table with my oldest daughter. She was going to enter first grade the following fall, but she had learned phonics in kindergarten. Also, my wife and had had read aloud to her from when she was an infant. Well, my daughter had a children's book (I forget which one) and was reading it slowly. Every so often, she'd come to a word she didn't recognize, and I'd guide her in sounding it out.
Then, suddenly, she began to read fluently! It was as if a switch in her head had flipped on, and what had been a struggle was suddenly easy. My wife and I looked at each other, each of us wondering what the hell had just happened: the change was a sudden, and as radical, as that.
My daughter is now in her 40s, and is the mother of four accomplished kids. And she still reds voluminously, in several languages. Yet I am convinced that without the assist that phonics gave her when she just starting out as a reader, she might never have realized her potential.

It was popular enough that I remember hearing people chant "Hooked on Phonics" at (NY) Rangers games in the 90s (it was well-known even to people without kids from the radio ads).
Posted by: Henry O
-------------
This started in CA -- CA was where most of this madness originally started. (Later versions of "whole language," etc. got big in other states too) and Hooked on Phonics was big in CA as parents were desperate to get their kids a real way to read instead of the shit those fucking scumbag teachers were doing in the public schools.
Anyway, it varied a lot from state to state. Even school to school as a many teachers would sneak in phonics even though the program forbid it. The schools really fucked up the kids for decades.

They learned quickly if they did not know their patients, their diagnosis, and medications to watch out.
I not only focused on the nursing/medical aspect of the paper, but would circle misspelled words in red. Their hideous writing did not impact their grade. I discovered many could not write worth a toot.
I still have some of my nursing school papers and I kicked arse compared to others who simply could not write. Whether innate or education, I do not know. I do know I had enough English lit college credits to declare a minor, but did not. I had plenty on my plate to do well as a student RN during the week, and a partying maniac on Fri/Sat nights.
My Sunday's were devoted to peace in the mornings of not reading words but looking at art books. So I also had some classical art. Then I wrote papers, studied my arse off, and ironed my blasted uniforms for the week ahead.

Never having read anything of Cooper’s only watching movies based on his work I assume that was a compliment until asking some of my more literate friends who said that Cooper was a terrible writer and that i the comment was an indictment on Tom Clancy‘s writing.. I often felt like Clancy stories were good, but maybe he should’ve sold his outline to a ghost rider.

A few months ago I spent a few nights trying to read "A Moveable Feast" because of our trips to Paris. It remains on my bookcase. I might finish in a blur of insomnia one night this winter.
I thought it would have more food mentions vs angst and sorrow. I think there was some sex, but was not why I picked it. Anyone can have sex (I don't want to know how the furries do it).
Well, y'all have a good weekend. We have an atheist funeral to go to briefly and flee this evening. I just want to get past this possible horror. Super weird guy who married a niece. We barely knew him. Reading his obituary he barely knew himself...which sounds mean and I don't intend to be mean. I just tell it like it is.

JustTheNews/The Center Square: The Soros Foundation Gave $80 Million to Groups Promoting/Organizing Extremist Violence
The DOJ is deciding whether to formally open an investigation. This inquiry is based on information received from the Capital Research Center. This report notes the CRC's finding that $80 million flowed from the Soros Foundation to violent left-wing groups.
In other words, this is the information the DOJ is looking at right now.Read the whole thing. This is interesting:
Amid President Donald Trump officially designating Antifa a domestic terror organization, a new report details how a prominent billionaire may be funneling millions to extremist groups engaging in violent uprisings nationwide. A new report from Capital Research Center details how billionaire George Soros's Open Society Foundations has given more than $80 million to groups "tied to terrorism or extremist violence." The foundation has awarded more than $23 million to seven groups "that directly assist domestic terrorism and criminality" in the U.S., including engaging or providing material support to "violence, property destruction, economic sabotage, harassment" among others that meet the domestic terrorism definition, according to the report. The report, authored by Ryan Mauro, details a nexus between domestic terror activities and support for international terrorism, specifically Hamas, in addition to communist sympathizers. "Open Society has sent millions of dollars into U.S.-based organizations that engage in 'direct actions' that the FBI defines as domestic terrorism," according to the report. "These groups include the Center for Third World Organizing and its militant partner Ruckus Society, which trained activists in property destruction and sabotage during the 2020 riots, the Sunrise Movement, which endorsed the Antifa-linked Stop Cop City campaign, in which activists currently face over 40 domestic terrorism charges and 60 racketeering indictments." The report highlights the Sunrise Movement, which it says has received at least $2 million from Open Society, adding that it has "endorsed and solicited financial support" for Antifa-associated groups such as Stop Cop City/Defend the Atlanta Forest coalition. The coalition has been tied to arson and violence against law enforcement and utility workers, including an attack on the construction of a police training center by throwing Molotov cocktails, bricks and rocks, as well as setting construction equipment on fire. As part of its outreach, the Sunrise movement has urged supporters to donate to the Atlanta Solidarity Fund, which supports protestors in various capacities, including legal defense and physical supplies, according to the report. "The Fund admits it posts bail and provides legal defenses for the arrested protestors. Prosecutors allege it also provides funds for ammunition, surveillance equipment, handheld radios, a drone, and an array of camping supplies for Stop Cop City terrorist activities," according to the report. Among the other groups Open Society supports, according to the report, is $400,000 since 2020 to the Center for Third World Organizing/Ruckus Society/BlackOUT Collective. The report claims the group "boasts it 'threw down with people in the streets'" during the George Floyd riots in the summer of 2020.
The report argues that Open Society's tax exemptions could be at risk because it funds "groups that brazenly acknowledge their prohibited behavior," which could lead to investigation.As the left continues to insist that Antifa is not an organization but "just an idea," Andy Ngo keeps revealing how this organization recruits, trains, and directs its terrorists.
A group called "Crimethinc Thinc-Exworkers," Ngo posted on Wednesday, is "one of the largest and most influential Antifa organizing sites," and just "released a guide explaining how Antifa and their co-conspirators organize to target the U.S. government." "It explains that one should form 'tight-knit' cells for fundraising, 'intelligence gathering' and communications. They suggest committing violence to pressure agencies, politicians and institutions into cutting off ties with ICE." Here's their handy guide to forming an Antifa sub-group of your own in just seven easy steps:

This has been obvious for a while. It was several years ago that I first thought to sit down and look at it.
Compare headlines about how much money Soros orgs had given to this, that or the other destructive group or campaign. Look at the totals - nowhere near the *real* total, just the splashy headline totals - and then compare it to Soros' net worth.
It wasn't possible that it was his money. He was splashing around *way* more cash than he had, or ever had. He isn't a "philanthropist" (or a "philanthropath," as Buck would call it) and never has been. He's more akin to an investment banker. "Investors" (grants, etc.) one one side, "investments" (organizations, campaigns, etc.) on the other. His orgs are the brokers in the middle.

According to Waldemar A. Nielsen, an authority on American philanthropy, "[Soros] has undertaken... nothing less than to open up the once-closed communist societies of Eastern Europe to a free flow of ideas and scientific knowledge from the outside world". From 1979, as an advocate of 'open societies', Soros financially supported dissidents including Poland's Solidarity movement, Charter 77 in Czechoslovakia and Andrei Sakharov in the Soviet Union. In 1984, he founded his first Open Society Institute in Hungary with a budget of $3 million.
A 2017 study found that a grant program by George Soros which awarded funding to over 28,000 scientists in the former Soviet republics shortly after the end of the Soviet Union "more than doubled publications on the margin, significantly induced scientists to remain in the science sector, and had long-lasting [beneficial] impacts".
People are complicated.

My mother is in dementia care in another state looked after by my sister and a hired social worker. And I have been in nursing homes with other inlaws--they can be hellish. Frankly I don't want to live that way even if you add the average 2-3 years max that people live that way.
Soros, having money, probably has caregivers as I doubt Alex or Huma (and the embittered other siblings as Soros handed the whip hand over his organization to Alex) give a shit about the old mouldering corpse.
So he could live for years (as undoubtly Mitch the Glitch could, with modern medicine preventing them from dying but unable to restore a life worth living.

They aren't just "an idea". They have command structure, they have funders, and they have allies and affiliates.
During the WoT we would regularly get small scaled jihadi terror attacks the FNM would argue weren't terror because the terrorist didn't have an official AQ/ISIS membership card.
But...you'd eventually find out they had a bunch of information from AQ/ISIS and had talked with some of those "card carrying" members...

The Sunrise Movement is one that has had me grinding my teeth down to nubs for years. They debuted with a splashy AOC presence and the Green New Deal. Those people are Thee. Most. Annoying America-haters you can expect to see. Smug young women of color with their long, indigenous-style hair, or foreigners here to instruct Americans on their failures of American ideals.
Even Ezra Klein is beginning to notice that white people are sort of being excluded from Democrat priorities. I wonder what he thinks about the Sunrise Movement.

The "rich AF" part is funny, because it takes real, serious, rare-as-hell kinds of money to look like that *and* be rich. If you want the clothes, the cars, the bottle service at clubs, the swank house, the jet-set lifestyle, etc., it take a *lot* of money. The odds of being able to afford that *and* still be rich are very, very, very small. Most people doing that are affluent but flat damn broke.
So the average person with million-plus net worth doesn't look it. He has a normal car and house and is actually rich, but doesn't show it off because if he did, he wouldn't be rich anymore.
It's one of the great ironies.

The fed grant machine funded a lot. A lot more than I think anyone even begins to realize.
The tranny craze started after Obama decided that Democrats needed a new way to win after the rise of the Tea Party.
That whole thing was artificial but every top layer of the Western World's culture and legal framework bought into it at once. Plus the illegal immigrant thing.
I suspect that turning on the spigot of fed funds to left-leaning groups just created a giant artifice of opinion to the tune of literally trillions of dollars.

What I wonder about most is how much of this action throughout the West originates somewhere in the US budget.
When USAID went down, a lot of organizations worldwide started shrinking, consolidating or outright collapsing - and that's just *one* outlet. A big one, but just one of a countless number.
How much of the insanity in, say, Australia or Germany has its bankroll originating in Washington?

Men often go off the rails with dementia and can become violent. Women can too but more rare and strength issue compared with someone like Bruce.
But the fact you have to watch them like small children every single moment of the day such as eating inedible but harmful things, cleaning up accidents, toilet and bathing resistance, etc. It is a toll that many cannot handle because there is no indefinite end date. About the same with families living with someone with incurable mental illness.
And those living along without a social network and hoping implicitly someone kindly will take care of them in such situations is unrealistic if you do not do the groundwork.

One thing that sticks out is that these online shops ALWAYS have an immediate product reflective of those issues to which ANTIFA involves themselves available almost immediately. In reference to the Charlie Kirk shooting, one company was selling shirts showing him getting shot less than 24 hours after it occurred.
Materials, expertise and equipment are minimal with these set-ups. And, it explains how these protestors all have matching shirts etc.

I don't think playing computer games radicalizes anyone or makes them go nuts. But I do think it screws with your sense of reality if you do it too much. Like, thinking that you can maybe do some things nobody can, if you tried hard enough, or having unrealistic expectations of the world without being consciously aware of it. You know that you cannot really fast travel home but somewhere deep down suspect that maybe you could if you figured it out.

Soros?
Soros was 13 years old in March 1944 when Nazi Germany occupied Hungary. The Nazis barred Jewish children from attending school, and Soros and the other schoolchildren were made to report to the Judenrat ("Jewish Council"), which had been established during the occupation.

It's a fair question. As someone in a family who dealt with Alzheimers - twice - I can tell you that no matter how well-intentioned you are there is a point where you simply are not equipped to care for that person in your home. It's actually dangerous for them and for the caregivers.

Stating facts is not jealousy. Simply put, hypergamy is a thing and males seeking variety is a thing--but good humans can rise above genetic imperatives with thought. And bell curve statistics always have tails where the opposite is true.
Recognition and indifference is more my reaction. But if society goes down, almost certainly the men running the place will be different than what we consider top males today. The Shotgun will sing the Song to quote the Who.
I am more the "tip my hat to the new Constitution, take a bow for the new revolution, smile and grin at the change all around, get up my guitar and play, just like yesterday, then I get on my knees and pray--We Don't Get Fooled Again."
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss is a pretty chilling but true historical statement.

Lesbian obesity is a big problem too. The Gov't spend $$$ researching the issue and found it was a result of lesbians always eating out...Really!

Here's the thing: they are going to suck horribly because the writers and directors etc are terrible. If there's no acting talent to lift terrible scripts and ideas up, they will just be terrible.
BUT AI production of a film will be a millionth as expensive as a real full film and anybody at home can try it. So I anticipate a fairly large flood of stuff by amateurs and ordinary people and some of that will be amazing.

If the gay divorce statistic is that low, I suspect it is because male homosexuals tend to be accepting of open relationships

Related, what's the status of the cretin NJ congressthing charged with federal crimes? Has Mike Johnson graced us with an explanation as to why a congresscreature charged with a felony for a physical act against law enforcement hasn't been expelled, when being charged for (likely rampant and common) financial skullduggery was sufficient to expel a GOP congressthing, just like that?

I don't know that I'd phrase it that way. Makes it sound as though open relationships would reduce the rate of divorce. Rather, I would say they go into it with no agreement or expectation of monogamy. They're still going to go to the same bathhouses they always did.

I *suspect* it's more highly selective. For all the noise about gay marriage, most gays don't engage in the practice. Of the small subset who wish to, and find someone else who wants to, where both want to with *each other,* I could see the final success rate being higher. It's a highly self-selected group.

In this case you can't directly blame Japan. Gay male Star Trek fan fiction was something of an underground epidemic among some women in the 1970s and 80s. It was almost always Kirk and Spock even though Sulu was right there.

Mark Steyn has an interesting post out today surveying the State of the World, and had the following observation:
As I have been saying for a while, the latter half of the 2020s will be Western Europe's last meaningful electoral cycle. If "populist" parties are treated by the "mainstream" cabal as they were in the recent Dutch and German elections, there will be no point pinning your hopes on the 2035 vote, because by then we will be past the demographic point of no return and the only means of salvaging France or England, Sweden or Austria will be non-democratic and violent.

As I understand it, the MtF trannies are much more sexually and socially frustrated. I see them on social media furious that guys won't date them and that people easily ID them as male all the time. "There I was in my makeup, heels, dress, and shoulder-length hair and a barista called me 'Sir' today! I didn't know whether to laugh or shoot myself" etc.

For expulsion, the current procedure is to go to the Ethics Committee which then puts out a report and then that report is used for discipline up to censure or expulsion. Expulsion requires 2/3rds vote which obviously Dems are going to refuse to do. Dems voted en bloc to prevent Omar from being censured (only required a majority) and won with a few treacherous GOP votes (four I think).
Budget votes right now are more important than Ms. Criminal Dem. Leave her up to the tender mercies of the legal process.

The surgery leaves them sexually dysfunctional. Where their dick and balls used to be is a suppurating gash that they have to shove a giant dildo in three times a week to thwart the body's natural healing process. They have to sit to pee and it takes 15 minutes because the pelvic floor muscles are all fucked up. They don't actually feel any better because the problem was never a physical one. And they'll never look feminine without a couple hundred thousand dollars of plastic surgery. So yeah, no wonder they're miserable.

The fed grant machine funded a lot. A lot more than I think anyone even begins to realize.
The tranny craze started after Obama decided that Democrats needed a new way to win after the rise of the Tea Party.
That whole thing was artificial but every top layer of the Western World's culture and legal framework bought into it at once. Plus the illegal immigrant thing.
I suspect that turning on the spigot of fed funds to left-leaning groups just created a giant artifice of opinion to the tune of literally trillions of dollars.
