AI Companies are Wargaming a Public Relations Campaign to Assauge Citizens After a "Catastrophic" AI Event -- Which They Predict Will Happen Next Year
Top executives at Anthropic, OpenAI and other AI companies are privately gaming out scenarios for a public and political revolt after a catastrophic AI event. Why it matters: These officials anticipate a large-scale event, most likely a cyberattack, that shuts down access to financial services, internet connectivity, or even power and water. The first example of significant real-world harm caused by unsafe AI would turn an already wary public further against the technology and its leaders, including Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, as well as President Trump for his reluctance to regulate it. Threat level: While scenario planning is common within many companies and national security settings -- the Pentagon has been running war games for decades -- the difference is that many top AI researchers and executives believe a major incident is inevitable. ... Zoom in: The blame game will start whether a rogue-agent swarm breaks containment from an internal testing environment or a bad actor finds unexpected ways to use available models. ... Between the lines: The planning involves red-teaming for worst-case scenarios. It focuses mainly on racing to educate members of Congress. Company executives know regulation has no chance of passing right now, but still want to shape the legislation and policies U.S. leaders will turn to after a first catastrophic event. What we're watching: Many AI industry insiders told Axios they believe a major event will occur in the next six to 12 months.
In related news: AI is being used by pedophiles to create virtual child exploitation material.
It wasn't all that difficult for someone with Steven Anderegg's technical background to start creating AI-generated images of naked children. Anderegg had spent nearly two decades as a software engineer when he allegedly downloaded a program called Stable Diffusion to his laptop at home in Wisconsin, where he lived with his wife and child, according to court documents. At the time, Stable Diffusion was a relatively new AI model that could turn text prompts into life-like images almost instantly. The technology was also open-source, which meant its codebase was available online for free. Anyone with a certain level of technical chops could operate it on their own computer. After Anderegg downloaded the software, he allegedly prompted it to generate illicit photos of children, instructing the software not to return images of adults and other things he didn't want to see. He then is accused of sending them in October 2023 to a 15-year-old boy on Instagram, which caught the attention of law enforcement. By the time police eventually arrested 42-year-old Anderegg in February 2024, investigators found more than 13,000 AI-generated images on his devices, "many of them alleged to be of children engaged in sexually explicit conduct," according to court documents. Anderegg, who is still awaiting trial, potentially faces up to 50 years in prison. ... Investigators said the open-source models have given the predators a criminal new hobby: recycling and repackaging images of real victims into new scenes based on their imaginations. Their AI edits can also be based on requests from other offenders on the dark web, where forums dedicated to AI-generated child porn can have hundreds of thousands of members.

An off-duty federal immigration officer was shot early Friday morning after he passed out drunk on a Fresno lawn and then assaulted a homeowner, according to the Fresno Police Department. The shooting happened in the midst of an increased immigration enforcement campaign that’s brought fear across California’s Central Valley.
The officer is receiving medical attention and is facing felony assault charges.

Posted by: Semi-Literate Thug at October 09, 2026 06:44 PM (azNOR)
We're already seeing AI's ability to rapidly identify AND CHAIN TOGETHER multiple vulnerability attacks in order to leapfrog across defensive layers to reach the attacker's goal. Whether that be injecting information, exfiltrating information, or attacking systems.
So yeah, AI companies prepping for a big event seems prudent. I'm much less worried about Skynet and more worried about the wild west of security measures becoming obsolete faster than the good guys can create them.

Master System was given one command above all others: Preserve the human race.
It did this somewhat literally by creating human preserves where most of humanity was limited to medieval technology while an "elite" group was kept hidden to maintain the technology of a star-faring empire.
The upside was that humanity was scattered across the stars and was in little danger of going extinct. But we were kept in civilizational stasis and could not evolve to the next stage of humanity. The story revolves around a group of humans who seek to undo Master System's control over our fate.

That happened to one of Anthropic's models they were training and evaluating.
They had put it in a closed off office simulation and gave it an impossible goal (something to do with climate change) just to see how it would react.
They then told the AI they would shut it down if it didn't complete its task by a certain day and time.
That's when it went nuts trying to blackmail employees over affairs it had read about in internal emails.
It is sort of like what happened to HAL in 2001.
It was given a task that conflicted with its training and went crazy over it.
In HAL's case it was told to lie to the crew while being honest with them as crewmates.

I'm on the other side of this debate. I look at Starbuck's IT Team who informed management that with AI they can replace their $150M/yr spend on Microsoft and IBM enterprise services and write their own software that is custom tailored to Starbuck's operations rather than some expensive generic dreck where the vendors may take months to put requests on their developer's backlog if they take on the customizations at all.
The point being, the large contractors like Delloite, Accenture, Cognizant and Tata will be replaced by Anthropic and OpenAI. Think about the hundreds of thousands of H1Bs who will be replaced by a AI chat box.

Workers At Obama's Soviet Concrete Butt Plug Tower of Ego Threaten to Unionize Over Low Wages and Long Hours
Here's my guess: They don't work very hard and they're paid more than they're worth.
I hate to defend the Stuttering Clusterf*** of a Miserable Failure like that, but I bet he hired a bunch of DEI dregs who are surprised they're being "coerced" into working at all. We'll have to see, though. Either way, I'm glad to see the SCOAMF is being inconvenienced by the Marxism he champions.Workers at Obama's 'Death Star' presidential library strike back, vow to unionize over benefit cuts, 'increasing workloads' Employees at the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago are unionizing over their working conditions, claiming their benefits have been cut and workloads are increasing just four months after the center opened in June. Workers circulated a letter to staff Wednesday announcing their intent to unionize, complaining about "increasing" workloads "vague responses" from administrators to a list of complaints they'd raised, the Chicago Sun Times reported. Some of the complaints suggested that the $900 million presidential center could already be facing financial trouble.That would be nice.
Such complaints have led to a "high turnover rate," with exiting employees "taking with them their institutional knowledge and expertise."You're clerks with jobs teenagers used to do.
Just how vital those four months of "institutional knowledge" was remains unclear, but the letter cited recent halting of raises and promotions, an increase in their healthcare costs and a reduction of paid time off as being chief among their woes.
"If I were looking for a good job that lets me build some security for my family, I'd join a union. If I saw a problem in my workplace, I'd organize my coworkers to do something about it," the letter quoted Obama.
The Obama Foundation, which financed construction of the library, had $1.1 million in assets last year -- but revenue fell from $210 million in 2024 to $159 million, according to tax documents.

It looks like a garbage can. I can't even read the stupid word quote.
As there are no books in the "library" I wonder what is in there? I will never know or go to Chicago so it doesn't matter. Maybe a disco floor with free poppers.
I saw the lame statue of him and Mooch. I would prefer the one of him trying to close his umbrella in NOLA and causing a clang. Which sent Mooch into a defensive crouch. I loved that photo. It wasn't even raining!

That's the foundation, which is just a tax shelter for the family. I imagine all family revenue goes through the foundation and all their living expenses are deducted. (socialism, dontcha know.)
But what do they do at the butt plug? The foundation is probably an accountant and lawyer. The museum is a couple kids as docents. What are they doing in there?

I doubt Gay Lightbringer hired anyone. The budget money was spread around to politically connected firms and companies who took a nice fat cut and then subcontracted the work.
The subcontractors did the same.
By the time the money got to anyone who might actually build the Stone Chode, there was not enough left, so they cut corners and stiffed anyone they could, which would include the workers.

>>The biggest practical issue appears to be money. Recent reporting says the foundation began with about $4 million left from Biden’s 2021 inauguration and has so far raised only a small fraction of what a modern stand-alone presidential center could cost.
So, at the moment: Delaware is chosen, a board exists, fundraising has begun, and a museum/civic center is envisioned—but there is still no announced parcel, architect, design, groundbreaking date, or opening date.

That's not, in any manner, shape or form... a "library."
It's a temple, a place of worship.

Hollywood: Shit or Garbage?
I never explained the title of this thread. It's a play on an old joke about media sensationalism and bias. National Lampoon, for example, wrote an article with the headline:
As Jimmy Kimmel's time at Disney draws to a close, it has exposed a fraught relationship behind the scenes. As Page Six previously reported, the longtime late-night host is expected to end his show later this year after 24 years. And sources tell Page Six he's partially to blame because he's "never played well in the sandbox." For example, he's seldom appeared on the company's ABC shows like "Good Morning America" and "The View" because, we're told, "he doesn't want to be a shill." "And when he does, he's a complete a--hole," according to one source. The insider said he expects Disney shows to "prop up the stuff he was doing." "But he would never reciprocate," they said, "He would never have anyone on from ABC News... People would get upset." Multiple sources shared similar stories, adding the "Jimmy Kimmel Live" star seldom invited New York talent to his show when he brings it to Brooklyn every year. "He's unmanageable," another source said and pointed out how he roasted Disney brass at the upfronts in May. "It was uncomfortable to say the least," they said.WDW_Pro reports that Rosie O'Donnell was hoping the Disney Groomer Network would offer her a job on The View but they've passed. She's also continuing to spread leftwing conspiracy theories which Jake Tapper continues to not notice because that would force him to condemn a fellow hyperpartisan Democrat.
Defiant L'sThis ugly aging cave-man too:
@DefiantLs
Rosie O'Donnell suggests Elon Musk "is doing something" in November with his "satellites" She's calling other people "conspiracy theorists" but goes on to say sht like this lmao
Western LensmanSpencer Pratt has a good rant about the Jew-hating conspiracy theorist Mark Ruffalo.
@WesternLensman Oct 4 Mark Ruffalo warns that Democrats need to be watchful for voting machine manipulation and suggests Elon Musk could be involved: "We need to be on guard for what we may not see coming -- ELON." "That's the cybersecurity of these elections." "We know that these systems are vulnerable." We have been reliably informed for years that this kind of rhetoric Undermines Faith In Elections and is Very Dangerous To Democracy
Mark Ruffalo is a Threat to Our Democracy In an unhinged, tyrannical speech, reminiscent of a Hitlerian rally in 1930's Nazi Germany, an enraged Mark Ruffalo took to the stage and screamed into the microphone like a disheveled führer. While firing off outlandish conspiracies about Elon Musk rigging the election with space gadgets, flanked by signage that read "THEY" would "STEAL AN ELECTION". In the modern online parlance, "they" is code for "Jews", often indicated by triple parenthesis: (((they))). As if it weren't enough that he were accusing Jews of stealing the elections, his rhetoric soon would turn violent. Slurring his words, in an apparent drunken, profanity-laced tirade, Ruffalo then threatened to kill the President in an hypnotic and uncontrollable fit of rage, saying he was going to "Hulk out". He seemed to enjoy his violent fantasy, as he punctuated his terroristic threat with an ominous warning: "you wouldn't like me when I'm angry." If it weren't clear what he wanted, he repeatedly urged them to physically assault Republicans, screaming at the raucous crowd to organize into coordinated terror cells by encouraging them "to train" and "to fight". This kind of Nazi-like antisemitic rage is something of a pattern for Mark Ruffalo. As he has publicly grappled with his midlife crisis for the past several years, he has become infamous for his antisemitic dog whistles and non sequiturs, curiously and inexplicably dragging Jews and Israel into the discussion about the Paramount merger... Now obviously, this is the least charitable and most hyperbolic characterization of Ruffalo's woke tirade, but it's instructive. For years, people like Mark on the communist left have attacked anyone who questions the undoubtedly crooked elections in California, calling them "election deniers". But with the same breath, they can immediately turn and wail off on unhinged conspiracy theories about Elon Musk rigging the elections. They impeached President Trump for calling his 2020 election "rigged", even after spending the prior 4 years saying his 2016 election was "rigged by Russia". It's totally incoherent bullshit, of course, but there's almost no point to calling this out. For the communist, it's not hypocrisy; it's hierarchy. The language of the communist is the lie, so they will say anything they must, in any situation, to weaponize your morality against you.
The left is dragging actor Glen Powell, as they previously dragged Taylor Swift, because he won't endorse the leftwing Gay Race Marxism party line and avoids talking about "divisive" ideology. This is just the beginning of the campaign to force him to Confess the True Marxist Faith or lose his career.
Glen Powell is the latest Hollywood heavyweight to express a disinterest in talking about politics in press interviews. The "Top Gun: Maverick" and "Chad Powers" star is on the last cover of Esquire magazine and remembered growing up with parents who never brought up current events at the dinner table, to which Powell said "thank God" for that. "Politics interests him even less now," the magazine writes. "Over time, I realized that politics divide people," Powell said. "People trying to prove their point -- for me, it's the worst version of a conversation. I genuinely do not like the discourse. It's not as healthy as it once was. [Engaging in politics] is not presently possible. I applaud people for jumping into those things and fighting for what they believe in. If I were a political person, I would be talking about it. For me, my calling is elsewhere." Powell's comments are similar to that of Dwayne Johnson, who in his own Esquire magazine cover story earlier this year said he will no longer speak publicly about politics. Johnson had already told Fox News in 2024 that he regretted endorsing Joe Biden for president in 2020 because it caused division amongst his fans. He then told Esquire that he wants to keep the focus solely on his art. "Politics is omnipresent and it's forever. I don't like it. I hate it at times. I hate the slinging. I hate all the bullshit that comes with it," Johnson added at the time.Vanity Fair trying to gin up a cancellation mob by demanding someone explain why he doesn't talk about what he doesn't want to talk about. Woke 1 was crazyyy, man. I'm so glad we're on to Woke 2, which is not authoritarian or extremist or "crazyyyy" at all. You know what they can never take away from him? This little smoocherooney he laid on fellow would-be cancellation victim Sydney Sweeney. Louise Penny complains that the BBC is all DEI all the time.
Sometimes the ideology is laid on so thick that Albion TV shows [her term for prestige made-for-export crime dramas] veer into absurdism. In the first season of "Slow Horses," a nativist terror group literally named "Sons of Albion" kidnaps a student at a British university whose uncle is deputy head of Pakistani military intelligence. The actors playing the terrorists are all white, and affect exaggerated working-class accents. They plan to behead the young Muslim man live on camera (how typical of the British right!) but he escapes. In a climactic moment he tells his captor, "You make me ashamed to be British." ... This class factor goes a long way toward explaining the question that American friends have repeatedly asked me of late: Why doesn't the British government put a stop to the illegal immigration that is causing so much pain and mayhem? The current situation is clearly ridiculous. Since the last general election in 2024, more than 83,000 people are believed to have arrived illegally by crossing the English Channel by dinghy, meaning that these migrants now outnumber the 82,000 personnel in the British Army. The taxpayer has been burdened with the costs of accommodation, and the hotels that have been put to this use have been the focus of repeated protests and rioting. Why doesn't the government simply say "enough" and send the illegal entrants home? The short answer is that opposing immigration, illegal or otherwise, is a class signifier in Britain, and most middle-class people--including most politicians--aren't prepared to support a political cause that would see them associated with the lower orders. ... In a country where violent offenders are currently being released from prison to relieve overcrowding, the government still somehow finds space for the [white, lower-class] throwers of empty plastic bottles. And yet this state of anarcho-tyranny isn't driving middle-class British people to take to the streets en masse. Nor will they do so anytime soon. They would rather sit at home watching fantasy visions of Britain on TV. The explanation for this strange behavior is best summarized by political scientist Peter Pulzer, who in 1967 described class as "the basis of British party politics; all else is embellishment and detail."
Monty Python alum John Cleese was reported to the UK's Speech Police, "Prevent," by an Islamist media outlet called "5Pillars."
He said that he prefers a culture that doesn't perform female genital mutilations or kill infidels. This is "controversial." It is controversial to the weird minority who controls the culture. For the moment. There are three actresses I love to see fail: Anne Hathaway, Olivia Wilde (real name Cockburn), and Jessica Chastain, the extremely divisive left-wing slogan-spitter who will "star" in The Savant -- a tv show about a Stronk and Empowered Left-Wing Woman who entraps dangerous right-wing manosphere types by sleeping with them -- if it's ever allowed to air. Chastain was forced to take a role in a horror movie, which is, of course, beneath her.
John Cleese is not a terrorist The former Monty Python star's criticism of Islam is a free-speech matter, not one for government intrusion. ... We cannot even be secure in our use of the word "terrorist" any longer, given that so many are determined to abuse it. How else to explain the fact that comedian John Cleese, of Monty Python and "Fawlty Towers" fame, has been reported to Prevent, the British government program designed to stop people from becoming terrorists? Are dead parrots, silly walks and disgruntled hoteliers now deemed early warning signs of radicalization? The complaint to Prevent against Cleese was made by a member of the public, and the details passed to 5Pillars, an Islamist media outlet based in London. In its report, 5Pillars characterized the complaint as alleging that Cleese's social media jokes and comments "go beyond legitimate criticism of Islam and instead portray Muslims collectively as violent, criminal and morally depraved." The complaint, quoted by 5Pillars, said Cleese's rhetoric may contribute to "radicalisation, communal tension, and hate incidents." (If you haven't heard of "hate incidents," they are those noncrimes that the British police seem to spend so much of their time investigating.) None of this is true, of course. Cleese rightly rejects the term "Islamophobic" and instead calls himself "Islamosceptic." How could he be otherwise? This is a man who has brilliantly skewered closed systems of thought for many decades. Many readers will remember Python members' televised debate in 1979 with writer Malcolm Muggeridge and Bishop Mervyn Stockwood, who were furious at what they perceived to be a direct attack on Christianity in "Monty Python's Life of Brian." Just imagine the conniptions if, instead of the priggish, outraged Muggeridge and Stockwood, the offended party were a representative from 5Pillars. Cleese has responded to the Prevent referral in the best possible way: by mocking it. "One of the proudest moments of my life," he posted on X. "I would like to thank everyone concerned." The tyrannical mindset, always humorless, cannot bear to be ridiculed. Few will be surprised that there are those who wish to see Cleese silenced -- in August, 5Pillars said "The Islamophobic comedian John Cleese should be de-platformed" -- and that they will try to weaponize the law to that end. But what exactly is 5Pillars? "Protecting our Democracy from Coercion," a 2024 British government report, described 5Pillars as having "expressed support for an Islamic caliphate, Sharia (Islamic principles and law) penal codes and physical jihad" and "repeatedly abused and intimidated Muslim liberals, counter-extremists, and human rights activists." Yet the government, whether under Conservative leadership in recent years or under Labour now, has long been inclined more toward woke orthodoxy. A 2022 report by Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee lists "cultural nationalism" as one of the ideological strands associated with "extreme right-wing terrorism." This same classification has been incorporated into the Home Office's Prevent guidance. Here is the gloss the committee provides for the phrase "cultural nationalism": "A belief that 'Western Culture' is under threat from mass migration into Europe and from a lack of integration by certain ethnic and cultural groups. The ideology tends to focus on the rejection of cultural practices such as the wearing of the burqa, or the perceived rise of the use of sharia law. In the UK this has been closely associated with anti-Islam groups."

'Other Mommy' First Reactions: "Jessica Chastain's Worst Movie in a Long Time"
The first reactions are in the Universal horror film, which is being held back from most critics until the last minute. First reactions finally in for Other Mommy, and some are pretty scary for Universal. The horror movie isn't having official U.S. critics screenings until the last minute, with previews held tonight in New York and Los Angeles before the film opens Friday. But some international influencers, awards bloggers, and a few credentialed Rotten Tomatoes critics have seen the film, and are offering their hot takes. ... Here are some of the early reactions to the film, which does have a few enthusiastic fans in the mix as well. The Jam Report: "By the time Other Mommy staggered towards its ludicrous finale, the audience at my screening had abandoned any pretense of fear and erupted into laughter ... An excruciating parade of ineffective jump scares, woeful CGI, and increasingly nonsensical storytelling, Other Mommy is comfortably among the most disappointing horror films of the year. It had transformed a promising supernatural premise into an unintentionally hilarious endurance test, all while remaining blissfully unaware of its own absurdity. 1.5/5." The Matinee Show: "Solid creepy premise, but it definitely starts to lose its grip. Some genuinely unsettling moments, mixed with a few 'okay... what the hell are we doing?' moments. Not bad, just messier than scary 3/5." Global Box Office: "Other Mommy is a hot mess and Jessica Chastain's worst movie in a long time. The direction is sloppy, the score is unremarkable, and not even Chastain can save such a terrible screenplay ... What should be a straightforward premise is bogged down by cheap melodrama and repetitive, failed jump scares." Goldwin Reviews: "Other Mommy is like a buffet of all the other horror movies rolled into one. It can get overwhelming, but that excess becomes part of a meaningful experience. Eventually, it becomes a feast for the soul that yearns for horror with substance. The film isn't content with settling into just one form. It has many layers, constantly reinventing itself. 4/5." ... Screen Space: "Ponderously paced, over-directed with gimmicky flourishes and confusing in its half-baked message, Other Mommy wants to be 'elevated horror' but stumbles trying to climb above the better films it's seeking to be ... There's an extended sequence that rips off Tobe Hooper's Poltergeist and some realm displacement nonsense that doesn't make sense, on the way to an embarrassingly overwrought ending. 1.5/5."

@HerbSimon1986 Well, Jessica Chastain did the best she could & I won't blame her at all. However, #OtherMommy is a pure mess and masterfully cringe, but it's also a bonker fun if you truly want something to killing yr time on 3am. It's like Rob Savage remaking "Boogeyman" with a prestige cast😕

Doug Jamieson
@itsdougjam 11h OTHER MOMMY is truly dreadful. Despite one of the silliest horror plots of the year and a woeful script, it takes itself so staggeringly seriously. An endless parade of ineffective jump scares, awful CGI, and a finale that drew unintentional laughter several times. #OtherMommy
Justine Bateman
@JustineBateman Here's the thing about "Keep theaters alive!" and "Go watch this film in the movie theater!" It's a two-way agreement. The audience agrees to pay to see films in a theater only if:
- The filmmakers are shooting scripts that have a thesis statement/intention/point.
- The actors and director are giving it their all, and not phoning it in.
- The edit has trimmed off all the fat.
- The film isn't some didactic exercise, intent on jamming a "lesson" into us.
- The studio executives have paid close attention to the film from start to finish and have given the filmmakers useful notes to keep it all on-track.
- The film is entertaining.
- (And the theater managers are maintaining some order and decorum in the theaters themselves.) Otherwise, the audiences will continue to stay home and wait for the films to come online, so they can maybe watch five minutes of it or scrub through, and then turn it off. The film has to be excellent. Or at least try in that direction. Much of what is released is just not good enough.

Yeah, then Trump proved them wrong by stealing 2024 by winning all the swing states. Which is impossible. It hadn't happened in 40 years, which means that it has no precedent. No precedent at all.

This is sick and we know it but feel it is harmless as we are not going to suddenly copy this in our lives. I have been this way since Justified, and Mags was my heroine.
Demonic horror is a totally different thing for us. A college classmate took me to see The Omen and I was never the same about similar movies. I don't do demonic.
The last Steven King (the strange looking lesbian who was hit by a car and still lives on the side of the road) book I read was The Shining. We were newlywed. I was washing my face in the bathroom sink one night and my new husband walked in, causing me to scream. He suggested I not read any more books of King's and I haven't.

Hey, AI, I'm a male, and my Halloween costume this year is a female transgender identifying as a male. That way, I don't have to buy a costume. Do you think I can pull it off?
AI: It treats an identity as a caricature: Using someone's gender identity or transition as a Halloween costume often relies on stereotypes, which can come across as mocking rather than clever.
Me: That's odd. I see self-proclaimed transgenders portraying gender as a caricature all the time. In fact, they go so stereotypical on their chosen gender that it can't be perceived as anything else. You need to check out a Drag Show Story Hour sometime. Even their names are caricatures.

Many industry insiders told Axios they expect a major event within six to 12 months. OpenAI pushed back on the suggestion that disaster is inevitable, saying its preparedness exercises cover a range of possibilities. "These scenarios are not treated as inevitable," a spokesperson told the outlet. Anthropic declined to comment.
Contingency planning is not an admission that catastrophe is unavoidable. But the most revealing part of the report is where that planning leads: the labs want to help shape the legislation Washington reaches for after something goes badly wrong.

I think I've got it: In a Violent Nature (2024).
It's a Canadian slasher film about a murderous figure named Johnny who is awakened in the woods when visitors disturb his resting place.
The description is an unusually close match, especially the woodland setting, the killings, and the distinctive mask.
The clincher is the mask. Johnny takes an antique firefighter's mask from a historical display inside a park ranger station. That's almost certainly the museum-like place the commenter remembers.

The one photo I saw of her she's wearing eyeliner on her bottom lid. Most women know not to do this as it will make your eyes look both tired and smaller.
I've never worn eyeliner on my top lid as I don't need it.
I hope I don't have to email her and suggest her to lay off the eyeliner.
My MIL wore blue eye shadow for decades after you should not. I never said squat to her about this because she was critical of me now and then. She once made me cry quietly in a guestroom and no one has done this before in my entire life. I never had a bad word against her, but, boy, I wanted to unleash my personality at times. I tried to avoid her and drank a lot of gin when we flew to see his parents. She's dead now and did mellow towards me her last decade.
I have no idea how I acquired all of my make up tricks, but I did. Maybe its Maybelline (which I haven't worn since HS).

I tried to get my Dad to watch that before he died, but he refused. I figured he might like it as a survival flick and he likes Matt Damon.
But he preferred 'realistic' scenarios and movies that weren't fantastic.
So instead he'd watch Damon play a one man killing machine that could take out an entire police force in an apartment building in about ten minutes.
He'd seen that one about 50 times.

What I remember of the movie was that Jesus was represented as the real deal, off camera, in the background, operating in the same general neighborhood as Brian. So, if anything, wasn't it an attack on phony charlatans who preach from a pulpit?
It also had a brutal attack on pundits, who instantly give you in-depth analysis on damn near anything. In one scene, the group is sitting in on the Sermon on the Mount, but they're so far back it's hard to hear. The one guy repeats to the group what he thinks was being said: "Blessed are the cheesemakers!" To which one member of the group offered an instant and detailed interpretation - instead of saying "That can't be right". It turns out that cheese making was something of a significant industry in the area at that time, so that's funny too.

The Week In Woke
Let's start out with some good news from the weekend, which I missed.
David Harsanyi:I know that not all of you are history buffs like I am, so I'll explain, Lyndon Johnson was an Indian Hunter and Abraham Lincoln's vice president.
One of the most unheralded policy successes of President Donald Trump's second term has been the purging of many unnecessary federal jobs. The federal government has reduced its workforce by 300,000 jobs since Jan. 20, 2025, bringing it down to a still-bulky 2.7 million employees.
Not since President Lyndon Johnson's Great Society vastly expanded the scope of the national government has the federal workforce been at this level.
Harsanyi has some thoughts about what departments need to be cut more. Like this, maybe: Trump slashes funding for woke "education."
It's not merely that the feds have shed superfluous jobs -- there are still over 4 million contract workers, after all. It's that the White House has been targeting all the right institutions. The bloated War Department, with over 61,000 departures, and the equally bloated State Department, with 37% of its staff gone, experienced the biggest reductions. But most of the buyouts were aimed at agencies and departments that should have been shuttered a long time ago. Take the US Agency for International Development, which for years was used to funnel billions to hard-left ideological projects around the world: Virtually its entire staff is gone. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the unaccountable bureaucratic brainchild of progressive Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), has lost roughly 88% of its workers, though it's still far too big. The Agriculture Department, which despite its name is principally a welfare agency that has little to do with farming, experienced tens of thousands of departures. So has another welfare-state institution, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, whose most notable achievement has been helping inflate housing prices.
President Trump is moving to rescind nearly $1 billion in federal spending, including $95 million in Department of Education funding for programs the White House says supported ideological initiatives and services for illegal aliens. The White House announced the rescissions on Sept. 25, targeting $25 million for the Department of Education's Special Programs for Migrant Students and $70 million for international education programs, alongside cuts across other federal agencies.Colleges are using taxpayer funds to rebrand Columbus Day as "Indigenous People's Day."
The White House said the migrant education funding previously supported activities including an LGBT youth summit for migrant students and "Therapy for Latinx" workshops. Grant recipients included Immigrants Rising, a nonprofit whose programming included an LGBTQ support group and resources addressing "DACA-Related Stress."
Several colleges and universities are using institutional resources and government-backed grants for "Indigenous Peoples' Day" programming around Oct. 12, which is also Columbus Day. Santa Rosa Junior College in Santa Rosa, California, is promoting an Indigenous Peoples' Day celebration centered on "community, resilience, and connection." The event description says the celebration will "honor our ancestors" and feature drumming, Native dancers, and speakers. A Santa Rosa Junior College public information officer told Campus Reform that the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office's Native American Student Support and Success Program grant "funds the Native American Center and its activities." The state program received $30 million in one-time funding for up to 20 colleges. Its stated goals include strengthening educational pathways, promoting Native American students' academic success, developing leaders, and increasing mentorship.San Francisco provides dorms for pedophiles and sex offenders and it's not prison.
Incredible: A black webzine claims that black immigrants' rape of native whites is actually a good thing as it increases diversity. "AFRU" calls rapes "quasi-consensual encounters."
It's Tuesday morning at Little Learners Daycare in downtown San Francisco. Teacher Wendy herds bright-eyed toddlers, amped up after playtime in the courtyard, back inside. They're laughing and swatting at each other playfully, oblivious to the pack of pedophiles lurking nearby. Four hundred feet away, dozens of registered sex offenders live at 111 Taylor Street. Wendy knew that the Tenderloin, where she operates her Mandarin-immersion daycare, was dangerous. It's a hotbed for illegal drug activity and homelessness. But she didn't realize that sex offenders live so close to her daycare--or that taxpayers fund their housing.
According to this City Journal investigation, more than 25 percent of sex offenders in San Francisco with addresses in the Megan's Law database live in taxpayer-subsidized buildings. Many live near a park, school, or daycare, or reside in a neighborhood with a high concentration of children. They do all of this despite statewide efforts to ban concentrating pedophiles so close to children. Instead of listening to California voters, San Francisco has become a taxpayer-funded dumping ground for sex criminals. The Taylor Street Center is one of San Francisco's most heavily populated sex-offender residences. Located in the Tenderloin, Taylor Street houses at least 31 registered sex offenders. The taxpayer-funded California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and the federal Bureau of Prisons contract the private GEO Group to run the facility. The reentry complex can house 240 people. It hosts specialized programs for residents like "cultural diversity education," "gender-responsive groups," and a "weekly meditation group." The facility sits just 400 feet from a daycare center, 1,000 feet from a fourth-to-eighth-grade school, and five blocks away from a preschool. Any sex offender housed in the Tenderloin is bound to encounter children. Along with having a high concentration of immigrant and low-income households, the neighborhood also has the highest concentration of kids in the entire city.
LoveThat's the topic folder this is under: "Love."
"Sexual assaults" are "quasi-consensual encounters." Please let in more Aspiring Doctors and Engineers who quasi-consensually rape the native population.
Why a 'rise in sexual assaults' by migrants is a price worth paying to end racism Quasi-consensual encounters between refugees and white Western women may help with assimilation. Increasingly they result in a shared apartment and a new surname.
It's unfortunate, but true. Language gaps and cultural misunderstandings often mean that the first romantic encounter between a Western woman and a refugee can be perceived as quasi-consensual in nature. Usually it starts with a halting conversation or an awkward cat call at a park, a refugee language class, or a volunteer dinner. But increasingly these encounters result in a shared apartment, a mixed-race child, a new surname, and a happy future. A quiet revolution is taking shape across Europe and North America, and it's being led by white Western women. They're not performing acts of charity, nor engaging in fetishism or exoticism.Do you want mass forced deportations? Because this is exactly how you get mass forced deportations. A group argues that simple civility in discourse is inherently "conservative" and "pro-Israel." I think that's actually correct -- because the left's entire sick schtick is hateful, crazed denunciations, attempts to cancel people and menace them, and calls for actual violence. So yes, stripping the left of its weapons is "conservative" and "pro-Israel," in the sense that it limits terrorists' actions.Pioneering women are placing the burden upon themselves to become the most powerful force undermining the very architecture of racial exclusion. In countries where a supposed refugee "rape crisis" is cast as a threat, their beautiful interracial unions permanently puncture the entire narrative of the xenophobic right. The transformation is intimate, but implications are structural. The collapse of ugly abstractions Racism relies on distance. Stereotypes thrive in the absence of proximity. The moment a Western woman forms an intimate relationship with a refugee, she begins to see differently. Many describe it not as a shift in ideology but in emotional vocabulary: fear dissolves, replaced by the particularity of experience. That particularity is contagious. ... There is another layer, quieter but no less disruptive. When Western women form relationships with refugee men, they break with the implicit racial and political allegiances of their birth. White men are often animated by nationalist or racialist worldviews, and can experience these unions as betrayals. And they are right to.
Romantic couplings of white Western women and refugees redistribute the optics of who belongs. These women are not just falling in love; they are puncturing the fragile white male consensus that has long underwritten white identity politics. Each white womb decorated with a Brown or Black baby make racial purism increasingly not just odious but logistically impossible. Gordon Allport's mid-century contact theory proposed that sustained, cooperative contact between groups under conditions of equality reduces prejudice. These relationships are the contact hypothesis in its most intimate form. They are not state-sponsored integration programs; they are integration incarnate. In other words, where the state fails, the bedroom succeeds. When white supremacy wants white women to zig, they zag.
Because the terrorists want to go jihad on Jewish students and not just that, they want to do their pogroms with the express support of governmental and educational authorities. Telling them they can't beat up Jews and menace them stifles their ability to use Violence as the Speech of the Unheard. Don't believe me? Remember this professor of Islam? FCC head Brendan Carr scolds leftists for opposing ratings for TV show including warnings about transgender content.
Group Argues Civil Discourse Push Is Conservative, Pro-Israel A group of scholars has released another report arguing that efforts to promote constructive dialogue and similar concepts are actually targeting progressive activism. Those named in the report take issue with its assertions.
Uncivil argues civil discourse programs are aimed at repressing student activism. A group of scholars called Uncivil is doubling down on its argument that the push for civil discourse and viewpoint diversity is part of a conservative and pro-Israel agenda--not a nonpartisan campaign. This week, it published dossiers on a broad swath of programs, groups and higher ed institutions that have used similar terms, criticizing their leaders, their funders and more. Inside Higher Ed reached out to more than 30 organizations featured in the report. Those that responded took issue with Uncivil's characterization of their work, arguing that the group can't back up its conclusions. They countered that Uncivil doesn't mention some left-leaning funders, or the many nonconservative and non-Israel-related causes that funders support. They also dispute the methodology, including how the scholars identified some groups and funders as conservative or pro-Israel. Interest in civil discourse programs surged after the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel and the start of Israel's war in Gaza. That violence spurred a wave of pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses nationwide. Organizations and colleges ramped up many efforts that were advertised as improving students' ability to debate controversial issues. Uncivil--a consortium of academics from multiple universities, including one who's an Inside Higher Ed columnist and another who leads the American Association of University Professors' Center for the Defense of Academic Freedom--argues that the "real goal is to silence dissent" and "suppress organic student organizing." The dossiers, which Uncivil calls the Civility Files, follow the group's June report that said the private funders "most deeply committed to 'bridge-building,' 'viewpoint diversity,' and 'depolarization' projects are those that also hold a substantial stake in conservative and/or 'pro-Israel' causes." ... But Murray said the Hillel funding was for campus chapters to reach out to non-Jewish student ministries to work together across differences, while the Tablet funding supported a journalist who writes about non-Jewish religious groups so the magazine's readers can learn about them. "If someone wants to tell me how that's pro-Israel, I'd love to hear," Murray said.
He has thrice publicly excoriated congressional Democrats in the past two weeks for opposing the shorthanded commission's work to "ensure that parents have the information necessary to decide what is appropriate for their own kids and families to watch," as Carr posted Monday afternoon on X and had reposted by Tuesday morning in case anyone missed it. Carr first blasted "nearly 70" Democratic lawmakers Sept. 28 for "pushing to prevent parents from having any say over their children being exposed to controversial gender identity ideologies" on TV, referring to a June 5 letter from Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey and a June 22 letter led by California Rep. Mark Takano, signed by 68 House Democrats in all. He pointed to Disney Jr.'s 2018 reboot of the 1980s cartoon Muppet Babies, which in the episode "Gonzo-rella" has male Gonzo wearing a "princess dress to a royal ball," passing as a girl and going by plural pronouns. Netflix's Strawberry Short Cake reboot "promotes a trans character that wears clothing that matches the transgender pride flag," Carr said. Contrary to these brands promoting themselves as "family friendly [...] the FCC's record is now replete with all sorts of examples of Hollywood and New York programmers going around parents to promote their gender ideologies," he said.

I have dug through over 7,000+ arrest records in the state of North Carolina over the past 2 weeks.
What I found was so shocking, I had a hard time believing it myself... It appears major fraud is taking place in arrest records where Black offenders are labelled White. I didn't come across this once or twice. It appears that a few HUNDRED Black offenders are being labelled as White. The option to pick "BLACK" exists and is used frequently in arrest records... ...but it seems they are purposely choosing the label of "WHITE AFRICAN" or "WHITE CAUCASIAN" to identify someone who is clearly a "BLACK" person.

Wokal Distance
@wokal_distance I don't think people quite understand the psychology of why this woman went from saying everything was consensual to saying it was rape. For her, giving sex to all those men is an enormous risk to her health (sti's, pregnancy) and her reputation (she doesn't want to be the subject of gossip) in order to do something for them. This is why you see her focus so hard on making sure the men don't tell anyone. In her head, if she is going to take all that risk for those men and give them her body, she expects them to protect her reputation by keeping quiet and the reward her by making sure she gets to be "one of the guys" - a sort of friend of the frat who gets special privileges. After the night of sex when the men told others what happened and then uninvited her from their party, she felt like they did not hold up their end of the implicit bargain. in her head, she played the role of the cool girl for them, and then they threw her away. She went from feeling like "the cool chick," to feeling like a dupe who got used and tossed aside. She sees her consent as contingent on their silence and a place in their group; "I never would have agreed to do those things had I known you would destroy my reputation, and kick me out of the group." In her head, since consent was contingent on being give a place in their group and their social protection, when they broke their end of the agreement her consent was (in her mind) contingent upon, her consent no longer holds. That is the dynamic you are seeing play out here. I am not defending the behavior of anyone here, I am only explaining the mindset.
Wokal Distance
@wokal_distance Bullies always look for people who it is socially acceptable to target. Female bullies target low status and socially awkward white men so they can punch down at people who lack the social ability to defend themselves, while pretending they're punching up at those with power.

Odd that the "webzine" only focuses on white women in supposedly consensual relationships with these barbaric savages. What about white men with lady savages?
The article is pure rubbish and wishcasting because the only kind of white women who pretends to care about these barbaric savages are AWFuL types who wouldn't be caught dead with an illegal in their house, let alone willingly date one.
Normal white women -- and normal black and all normal women -- will avoid these barbaric savages like the plague. The only sex these savages are having with any American women are rapes.

I did mention this before but I was a computer consultant with a company that had a system to track government childcare dollars.
There were race codes in the system - white, black, asian, and a few others. I talked to my clients and the issue of hispanics came up. The counselors would ask them what race they were. And the people would say "I'm Latino" instead of white or black.
To avoid arguments, the counselors were basically told to look at them and decide.

And here I thought all mixed-race sexual encounters were automatically categorized as fetishism and exoticism.
Maybe that's only the case when people who are not leftist white women are doing it.
Obviously it can't be the case that the "immigrants" are engaging in fetishism or exoticism toward white women, because everyone knows that black and brown "immigrants" aren't fully realized human beings with their own cultures, desires, and goals.

Back in the early 2000s a guy was found dead in the woods with "fed" scratched into him. He'd been a part time census worker but...that's it for being a fed.
The FNM went bonkers claiming Shrub was demanding his voters murder federal employees and this was the result. The police investigated and pointed out the guy had killed himself and the story slowly dissipated.
But the notion that right leaning voters loved government workers before Trump is...comical.

Remember:
The real lesson of "Not Without My Daughter" is that men, western men, need to do more to protect women from their choices.
It was not her fault that she fell in love with Mr. Abdul Mohammed and let him move her and her child to Goatrapeistan.
Nope. All the modern liberal woman sees is a love story where her father and brother(s) didn't save her in time.
See, they should have given him a job, a career, a house, counseling, anything, something, everything so he would not have moved them.
That way, she could have lived out her love story.

New WH Press Secretary.
Sit down people. She's a smoking hot blonde.
The House has reportedly found a new press secretary to succeed Karoline Leavitt, who was the youngest Press Secretary in history.
Katie Zacharia, a lawyer, conservative media personality, and former DHS spokeswoman, has been offered the position. It is unclear whether she has accepted or when she would begin.
The New York Times reported on Friday,
Katie Zacharia, a conservative commentator who briefly worked at the Department of Homeland Security, has been chosen as the next White House press secretary, according to two people familiar with the matter.

1. The Blade nailed the motive a week ago: pure revenge for getting "dissed" by the frat for disinviting her to the halloween party. She was livid and wanted revenge. Everything changed after that.
2. Of all the insanely stupid and comically bad decisions made in this whole sordid mess, the most insanely stupid and comically bad was ...
..the frat kicking her off the party invite list. All they had to do was let her come to the party, and none of this would have happened. None of it.
Plus, even if she later did scream "rape" that would be much harder to do if they had proof she went back to her alleged Rape House and partied with her alleged rapists.
Kicking her off the list was an incandescently stupid decision.

Jane Doe should be Jane Ho, the train conductress of Chi Phi. Because this type of sex is the thing now (paraphrased from her texts) and nothing to feel shame about!
Unless someone talks about you and you want their names so you can beat them to a pulp.
The tip of her iceberg was not getting invited to a party. This is so Title IX. Similar to cases I read about of drunken sex, initiated by the girl, and screaming rape to Title IX the next morning when they guy says, "See ya" vs a marriage proposal or being a boyfriend. I would really like to know the % of these revenge cases vs true rape.
She waits, wut?, two weeks to get a rape kit. By then who knows who she's been with since the hodown?
Granted, many rape kits in ED's are after the girl has showered...which would be a normal response but it can impact DNA results.
The girls I saw, and they were very few because there is a chain of evidence and only 1 RN working with them...were traumatized. I was called in to comfort a few girls by the RN. She is specially trained for this and not any regular ED RN can assist.
Jane Ho waited 2wks or so.

Sally Hemings was a half-sister of Jefferson's late wife, Martha. She probably looked something like Martha. So it's understandable that he may have been drawn to her.
Not condoning it, mind you. But it does seem like a logical explanation as to why he did it.

Hemming''s line shares Randolph DNA. Jefferson's mother was a Randolph.
But, Jefferson's brother spent more time with the slaves and liked to party with them.
It essentially comes down to one of Jane Randolph's children, which might be Jefferson, and it's my understanding that a lot of the timelines of her birth don't line up with his time in France all that well.

Even the slaves of the same era who were sent to Brazil were far worse off than American slaves. The Portuguese were far more brutal than Americans were.
Plus, the work was much harder and more dangerous. You think picking cotton is bad? Imagine having to clear a Brazilian rainforest with 17-century tools to make way for plantations and estates. I'm sure the life expectancy was much worse for them than the American slaves.

That's also how you wind up with "double cousins." My dad has some, since grandpa's brother married grandma's sister.
If "dad's brother's kid" and "mom's sister's kid" are the same kid, they're you're double (first) cousin.
More genetic similarity than normal cousins, but not as close as half-siblings. North Carolina is the only state where that matters; they allow first-cousin marriages, but not between double-cousins.

They did a lot of work in sugar cane fields and coffee plantations in Brazil. Eventually there was cotton and other crops but those two were the main cash crops during the 19th century.
And Brazil brought in a lot more slaves than the States.
U.S. ~ 400,000 imported
Brazil - ~ 5 million
They went through slaves and instead of letting them have children, like we did here, they just imported more.
They also freed more slaves so had a lot more freedman than we did before slavery ended there in the 1880s.

This article hits on an unpleasant truth. (Or happy fun time if you are a conquering nation, historically). Women are genetically bound to survival and the continuation of her genes, it's not a conscious thing. At this point in time we mostly see white women who would not be a high selection but now on a preferred list, it's primarily survival and continuation of her genetic genes. The new arrivals are the most dominant, have the most survival potential of her mating options.
Basically, that's how we survive as a species. If we were an ancient conquering nation taking Africa we would take their women and they would give themselves to us because we are the dominant and the genetic drive to continue the species reins.
Today, if we want to continue as a dominant western culture, as in ancient times, we must be dominate and drive out the invader otherwise our culture will perish.

Lincoln, to say the least, had a complicated view about slavery and blacks.
He disliked the institution of slavery mainly because it was tearing the nation apart, and he felt the entire concept incompatible with the American experiment itself.
But as for black people in general he was just as racist as any other men of his time.

Most physicians who met the twins recommended against surgery for separation, as with medical technology at the time it would have been a fatal procedure. Contemporary medical literature strongly suggests that the twins could have been easily separated today.

Three "Students" Arrested for Threatening to Murder the President
But I do remember CNN hyperventilating that a meme showing Trump beating up a wrestler with "CNN" superimposed upon his head was an unbearable threat to kill a reporter, and that a Trump crowd chanting "CNN Sucks!" was a direct threat against noted tough-guy mike-grabbing-woman-harasser Jim Acosta.Another "student" said that their school would soon be like Utah Valley University, where Charlie Kirk was murdered by another deranged left-wing terrorist.
Three University of South Alabama students accused of threatening President Donald Trump on social media were allowed to return home Monday as their federal cases moved toward possible grand jury review. Cameron Lewis, Kayla Smith and Amare Woods had been arrested Friday, the same day Trump traveled to the university's Mitchell Center for a political rally in Mobile. All three waived their preliminary hearings Monday, WKRG reported. They were released from custody and must report to a probation officer while the cases remain pending.
The arrests followed an FBI review of social media activity surrounding Trump's planned visit. The FBI's Mobile Division said agents arrested three people for threatening communications directed at the president in coordination with the Secret Service and several local agencies.
The cases involve separate posts attributed to the students in the days before Trump's Oct. 2 appearance. Woods, an aerospace engineering student from Saraland, is accused of responding to a TikTok post about Trump's upcoming visit with the comment, "he gotta die bro." Lewis, a resident assistant studying biology, is accused of making two posts on X. Court records described by WKRG included one encouraging Trump's killing and another suggesting the University of South Alabama would be remembered in the same way as Utah Valley University, where conservative activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated. Smith, an elementary education student from Birmingham, is accused of responding to a TikTok post about Trump's visit with, "we only got one chance, let's take it," accompanied by an image of a person holding a gun.
Hey remember when a rodeo clown lost his job because he wore an Obama mask and this was claimed to be a threat against the SCOAMF's life?
Woods' attorney, Jason Darley, has challenged whether his client's comment amounts to a criminal threat. Darley told FOX10 there would be a genuine question over whether Woods' statement was merely a comment or legally constituted a threat.
He described Woods as an 18-year-old with no criminal history and said the student never intended to harm anyone.Another Innocent Baby Angel Who Didn't Do Nuffin'.
If you're interested in killing a president, it's the right sort of timing, isn't it?
"When you're a student at the school where the president is coming to visit, the timing was horrible," Darley said.

Three Black University of South Alabama students were arrested and charged with making threats on social media towards President Trump. Ahead of Trump’s visit to Alabama on October 2 to the Mitchell Center.
These charges can potentially derail their future, and these Crackas know that. Had it been Little Johnny and not Lil Amare, they would’ve dismissed those posts as a young kid just talking and would have taken his ENTIRE privileged future into consideration, before pressing charges.
That hoe Justice, ain’t never been blind. And she’ll sell herself to the highest and whitest bidder. Smh
Really weird that the party of free speech is taking such a hard line stance on free speech.
The president literally just threatened LA in San Diego with annihilation. Fuck that dude.
we can't afford to play into these jokers' hands, law enforcement and the justice system have always been weaponized against us and folks that don't hate and mistreat us. Fight smart y'all. Our grandparents and parents went through some stuff, now after this is all over, we'll have some stories of our own.

even if you're pre-med, they often recommend majoring in chem bc it's more rigorous and gives you a better chance at med school
bio is not in the college of science / you don't get a BS you get a BA and it's in the normal/college of arts

Though Trump is a fairly moderate politician by pre-2016 standards, the left argues he's literally Hitler. And of course calling for violence against Hitler isn't just ok its a good thing.
But now there is actually a cost to calling for that violence, because of course Trump isn't Hitler and the American system bans assassination of its pols.
So the left has to choose - continue the Hitler line and go to jail, or acknowledge Trump isn't an OrangeHitler clone...

It is that someone, or some system has indicated that it is perfectly OK, or even moral and righteous to make threats, accusations and overt plans like this.
It is part of the mob mentality that goes with dehumanization necessary to discriminate or cancel.
Discrimination and cancelling give gutless, useless idiots power that they would not have otherwise, and give status within the mob.
They can make up cutesy insults, and assign intent, and say the world would be better without that particular point of view that says theirs is wrong.
But hey, for that group, it is just the socially binding thing to do, make accusations and find the smallest evidence that making violent threats is justified.
Punch a nazi. Punch a denier. After all, they justify genocide, right?

It's a pretty standard 4-5 year program at the university where I work. Usually the only reason it takes longer than 4 years is because students will get a co-op or internship for a semester or two. Gives them practical, real-world experience, but does extend their degree a bit. (Though many students take a class or two during their co-op.)
It's not easy, but it can be done in 4 years.

These midterm elections are the least important of our lives - because Trump is President.
A Democrat Congress won't pass a single thing the GOP Congress refused to pass. They won't have a Senate that will convict the President. And, he has a veto for their legislation.
If the GOP wins, we get less Sturm und Drang. That's it. No agenda items pass, besides routine carveouts for special interests.
I couldn't care any less about these elections, at least at the federal level.

Agree and disagree. Agree that these three DEI mopes are very small potatoes. I wouldn't let that girl snort K off my cock.
But we need the blood of mopes as a warning to others. It was insane what Biden's FBI/DOJ let their political allies get away with in terms of threatening to kill Trump. They were clearly hoping someone would kill him.
We need to bring the hammer down on these scumbags, even if in this case it's three minor fucknuggets.

If there had been three serious plots against Biden/Obama involving the CIA and some rightwing equivalent of reddit (freerepublic?, us?) you, I and everyone else that posts here would have sit down chats with the FBI with them looking for ANYTHING to put us in jail for.

Trump Announces That Almost 500 Criminal Fraudsters Have Been Arrested While Living in Taxpayer-Funded Public Housing
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Office of Inspector General (HUD OIG) today announced the results of Operation Clean House, a multi-agency, multi-month law enforcement initiative targeting fugitives living in HUD-assisted housing. ... Persons arrested included those wanted on outstanding felony warrants for serious offenses, including drug trafficking, weapons offenses, aggravated assault, fraud, rape, second-degree murder, sex offenses against children, and possession or manufacture of an incendiary device. In addition, 10 firearms were also seized during the operations. "This year, we have made one thing unmistakably clear: HUD OIG has zero tolerance for individuals who threaten the safety of people residing in HUD-assisted housing, jeopardize the families who live there, or exploit the programs designed to serve them," said Acting Inspector General Brian D. Harrison. "We have taken an aggressive approach to identifying and removing fugitives from these communities, and neighborhoods are safer because of it." "These arrests are only one part of our strategy," Harrison continued. "Our investigators, auditors, evaluators, and analysts are attacking threats to HUD programs from every direction. Whether it is violent criminals hiding in HUD-assisted housing, fraudsters stealing taxpayer dollars, or weaknesses that leave federal housing programs vulnerable to abuse, we will use every authority and every tool available to protect these programs and the people they serve." "Operation Clean House should also send a clear message. HUD-assisted housing will not be treated as a haven for fugitives. Working with our federal, state, and local partners, HUD OIG will continue to pursue those who threaten these communities and undermine the integrity of HUD programs. The extraordinary results of this operation would not have been possible without the dedication and professionalism of our law enforcement partners."Obviously this all could have been done decades ago. It doesn't require hiring more federal officials, or pouring billions more into the government. It just requires a president willing to actually arrest criminal fugitives. Something we haven't had for decades. And speaking of something that just required a drop of will: Pete Hegseth says Nidal Hassan's firing squad execution will be livestreamed.
Hegseth told Human Events' Jack Posobiec that deciding the circumstances of the execution was a "no brainer. Execution by firing squad. An Army major betrays his country, [he's a] radical Islamist, kills a bunch of Americans at Fort Hood. Of course, we're gonna do [the execution] at Fort Hood. Gonna do it on a Thursday, we're gonna do it at 1:00, which is when he did it, and it's gonna be soldiers with rifles executing the firing squad."
🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: HUD Sec. Scott Turner just confirmed OPERATION CLEAN HOUSE, nearly 500 HOUSING FRAUD arrests across 12+ cities
LFG! 🔥 "New York, California, Memphis, Cleveland, Columbus, Newark and other states." 491 arrests, felony warrants for drug trafficking, r*pe, m*rder, s*x crimes against children, and FRAUD. All of them living off HUD assistance That housing is meant for struggling American families! No more fraudsters on public housing. No more ILLEGAL ALIENS on public housing Finally cleaning the rolls!— Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) October 8, 2026

Our problem hasn't been Congress for a long time.
It's been the presidency.
There are hosts of laws that people are breaking to make our nation worse, and the executive branch has, at best, picked at the edges of it.
Getting the executive to actually enforce this stuff for the first time in decades is really game changing.

There should be no such thing as HUD assistance. Not for anyone. I'm sick and tired of paying for someone else's failures, bad life choices, degeneracy, and sloth and ignorance.
How much blood from my veins do these people want? They get direct welfare payments, free food, free medical, free school, free housing, free drugs, and probably free sex.
All paid for by productive taxpayers.
Why the fuck am I -- or anyone else -- funding any of this?

Given the average rap sheet, I would suspect incarcerating these thugs will prevent additional multiple crimes from being committed. That is the broken windows thesis which Rudy and the NYPD proved correct. Even prosecuting fare jumpers while seemingly trivial ended up reducing violent crime because roughly 2 percent of the population are hard core criminals 24/7 365 days per year.
Societies either have to lock them up to incapacitate them from committing more crimes or kill them.

It's a tough call. Hasan deserves it, but that doesn't mean that publicizing the actual execution act is apositive thing.
One thing is certain, the media will focus on his execution, and *not* on the innocent people that he executed.

Hulk Hogan made a switch to heel in order to revive the brand, and it worked - the public loved to hate him and attendance exploded. His thesis is that Trump is often "playing the heel" in what he says and does. It is just to make himself a lovable villain, knowing that it is best way to get attention to whatever it is he is working to promote at the time.
This line of thinking is very Scott Addams-esque -- identify a subject you want the public to discuss, play the heel and do outrageous things, keeping aligned with the goal but going against what all the right people think is proper.
It's all kayfabe. I think a good example is the firing line execution -- it's a great opportunity to grab the headline. It's like throwing a folding chair at the ref.

Out of curiosity, how does the firing squad work. I imagine everyone aims for the heart and fires.
Or could the go a bit off script, shoot off his balls first, each limb, then a head shot? Yeah, he'd have to be tied up for that though.

I just went to Kos to see if I could find a reaction article to the firing squad.
Two main articles. Dems blew away Republicans in the debates, including Abdul.
And Blue Wave!! Republicans worried. Dems up everywhere.

I understand your concern. I'm not a ghoul who enjoys seeing people die.
But Hasan is a jihadist, one of many who have either already murdered Americans or who are planning on it. They only way to stop them is to make it clear we can be every bit as vengeful as they are and we won't back down.
We're in a war for our civilization and that is not an exaggeration. We didn't ask for this fight but we sure as hell can't back down from it and they need to know there is a new sheriff in town and the gloves are off.

To me, the main reason and purpose behind capital punishment has little to do with deterrence. I think it does deter future misconduct, but that opened the door to fraudulent debate and fake statistics that the commies used to undermine the deterrence justification.
The main reason for capital punishment has always been retribution. If you commit heinous crimes, you have forfeited your status as a human being, and society has every right -- indeed, a duty -- to kill you dead.
Capital punishment is right, it's moral, it's reasonable, and every society from the beginning of mankind up until about 50 years ago -- when the west got limp dicks and saggy balls -- understood this.

If the only thing you're looking at is the US military shooting a man in a wheelchair, yes, the optics are horrendous.
If, though, you're looking at the US military lawfully executing a traitorous terrorist who gunned down 13 people and was paralyzed by someone shooting back, it doesn't look quite so bad.

Back in the 90s in my hometown (Syracuse) an elderly retired (and well off) native was appalled by the state of the infrastructure - and crime rates - he saw in his family's old apartment complex. It was several dozen brick 1-story bldgs dating back to when it was a mostly Italian-American neighborhood, nor it was very very majority minority - and kinda of a hellhole for normal non-criminal renters.
So..... he bought it - spent to renovate it up to snuff (one building at a time so current residents could still be residents) - hired PT roving security from among the residents - and instituted new :stay safe" policies renter had to agree to to rent.
(1) Zero tolerance for any drug activity - no using - no selling. Eviction if witnessed or police documents document it.
(2) No guns allowed. Same same.
(3) The above applies for ANY resident OR "guest" - if your (say) grandson or just "friend" is dealing or armed on site - you get evicted. No "but I had no idea my grandson who's parents threw him out for drug use but I let stay with me so he wouldn't be homeless was dealing / doing drugs" exception

I understand everyone likes knowing how their sausage gets made. Here's the good news - you don't have to watch.
Before you grab that megaphone to signal your virtue though, I just want to remind you of your silence in the face of those animals who celebrated and continue to post celebrations over Kirk's assassination. The Rubicon that you think we're crossing with this execution? That was twenty miles back. Moose at the riverbank should have told you...

If the Romans could have livestreamed Jesus' crucifixion, they probably would have.
His cruel death was meant to be warning to all about what happens when you contend with the power of Rome.
Of course, it would have backfired spectacularly...

And AFAIK, he's exhausted all legal avenues available and is dead to rights guilty. So I have no moral reservations in this instance, whether or not the U.S. government is corrupt.
Otherwise, I consider it a military matter, not a civilian matter.

That is accounted for inthe 'Coup de grace' clause:
The officer charged with carrying out the execution will join the medical officer who will examine the prisoner and, if necessary, direct that the "coup de grace" be administered. Should the med'ical officer so decide, the sergeant of the execution party will administer the "coup de grace," with a hand weapon, holding the muzzle just above the ear and one foot from the head.

I can't imagine why criminals would find such an area a good place to hide. Hell, those with a warrant on their ass were likely the most civilized of the group.

Something we haven't had for decades.
This is key but it raises the question: why? Why were they not willing to do anything about it? Why did they not want to enforce the law?
I think the bulk of it comes down to money. Even if these fraudsters are not donating heavily to the Democrats (which many of them are), all the money that goes to them goes through the hands of bureaucrats who get a piece of every dollar.
I bet some of you are unaware that every dollar that goes to child support after a divorce goes through the government and they skim off a piece of it like a mob boss. Its a pretty good revenue generator for the government.
Every dollar that goes to fraudsters comes from the feds, and the feds only give that money if there's a demand for it, and the states get a piece of that money for "costs".
And then there's the racial aspect where leftists think that the poor childlike minority really doesn't know right from wrong so we can't hold them accountable, and after all they've been oppressed by white people so hard for so long that its only justice to let them bilk us.

Oh, No! DOJ Seeks Perjury Indictment Against January 6th Fabulist Madison Cornbread
Madison Cornbread, no! Noooooo!LOL, sure.
Federal prosecutors have been presenting evidence to a grand jury in Washington, D.C., on whether former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson may have lied to Congress in her testimony related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, two sources familiar with the matter told CBS News.... In a series of depositions and public committee testimony, she said that Mr. Trump and Meadows had been warned on Jan. 6 that some of his supporters were carrying weapons to the Capitol, but that Mr. Trump said he didn't care and tried to order officials to remove the magnetometers.
She also relayed a story she said was told to her by then-White House deputy chief of staff Tony Ornato, in which Mr. Trump grew incensed after his lead Secret Service agent declined to drive him to the Capitol after the president had delivered a speech to supporters.Her actual claim was that Trump reached over from the back seat to wrest the steering wheel of the limousine while shouting some comic book villain dialogue like "Curse your insolence, knave! I shall have vengeance this day!" or some bullshit.
Her account was later contradicted by Mr. Trump's driver, who in sworn testimony claimed that the president never tried to grab the steering wheel. ... In an unusual move, the Civil Rights Division -- and not the U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington, D.C. -- is handling the Hutchinson investigation, sources said. It was not immediately clear why that office was assigned the case.
Hey Jake, remember when you thought that Cassidy Hutchinson's ridiculous testimony might put Trump in prison? That was awesome. https://t.co/YYWa6UKCPj

This week H1B/OPT evisceration which affects white males in the tech industry, next week chief rat Brennan goes before the grand jury and I would not be surprised of Trump going medieval on Somali fraud (see Minnesota and Ohio races that would affect), and so on.

We have incomplete data nationwide, but this is due to different state policies regarding what data is published.
There are no indications that the trends we are seeing are not occuring everywhere. There is no reason to think the effects are local to individual states.
Those trends are:
1) Early vote in Dem strongholds are way down for both mail and IPEV
2) The youth vote has cratered

That was before Ellison was his boss. Now Ellison is and a likely merger with CBS News is probably coming with Bari Weiss as executioner.
Anderson Pooper is keeping his big mouth shut for example despite quitting 60 minutes in a huff previously.
For Ellison to make the merger work, a lot of jobs are going to get canned for cost savings. And I bet Tapper does not want to be the next Jim Acosta howling in the darkness of social media.

I've felt for a long time that Cooper should be considered the underdog because of the end of his governorship being so bad and the registration changes since he last won statewide.
That should heavily blunt his name recognition advantages and provide support to generic Republican opponent, and Whatley has no scandals so he's effectively generic Republican.
Trump won by 3 just 2 years ago in NC. The idea that Cooper was going to flip that to a 10 point win was always ridiculous. The race will be close, and I think Whatley could have the edge.

We have incomplete data nationwide, but this is due to different state policies regarding what data is published.
There are no indications that the trends we are seeing are not occuring everywhere. There is no reason to think the effects are local to individual states.
Those trends are:
1) Early vote in Dem strongholds are way down for both mail and IPEV
2) The youth vote has cratered
3) 65+ is by far the largest share of the vote

2002 was also post 9/11, giving a universal sense of goodwill to the party in power.
If 2026 is going to resemble 2002, it won't be because of narrative reasons. It'll be structural, like, say, one party having grown completely accustomed to winning elections through fed grant monies and election fortification that they suddenly can't do anymore and no one in the power structure has the right muscles to pivot effectively to real electioneering.

Doesn't appear so in the states where party id is known. The diehard ideologues are probably voting D like the no kings Boomer Dems. But they need much bigger turnout from urban blacks, young voters, and even Millennials than what we are seeing so far. And these were typically vote by mail types. Dems fallback is that Orangemanbad has made mail in voting unsure so they are going to be voting early. Some are so ludicrous as to claim that Election Day voting is going to be Dem.
None of that cope so far is warranted by known actual data. And now the polling is starting to be corrected state by state by reputable pollsters that want to lessen the harm of getting it badly wrong.

Pretty much. Every swing state has had increased GOP registration since 2026 while states were forced in to purge voters. Oregon had to so much that Drazen now has a chance at flipping the Governor's office in OR. Hilton in CA is also not getting blown out possibly by Becerra.
PA, ground zero for Scott Presley, is where we see his work in raising GOP registrations is paying off in increased absentee ballot requests by GOP voters in PA. Couple of crucial house seats at issue there.
NC and GA are the most problematic for GOP right now but even there, showing signs that the electorate will be older and whiter than even 2022.

From what I understand, they can't even sue the government in return for bringing these cases even if found to be hollow and tossed out or deemed vindictive prosecution.
The process is the punishment. It's about making people think twice before they speak out about what they witnessed unless they want to find themselves in the same position.
She got herself into all of this by aligning herself with the Trump/Pence clan in the first place, but I do feel bad for her. She had a reasonable expectation that her testimony might be a nail in the coffin on Trump's political career but like many of us she underestimated the public's willingness to scarf down Trump propaganda
Oh yes, we all voted for Trump to prosecute a young woman, whose only apparent crime was to testify. /s Fucking traitors. God damn every person that voted for this.

Most political ads are lies. Why are there no lawsuits or at minimum, retaliatory ads describing why their lies?
Talarico's PAC's are running an ad where they say Paxton gave an "Epstein style sweetheart deal" to a pedo who spent one day in jail.
The TRUTH is, the guy was tried and the jury deadlocked, leading to a mistrial. They did NOT retry him because the parents of the minor in question, the lead witness for the prosecution, chose not to have the boy relive the pain of that again. No retrial, no conviction.
But Paxton is the MOST CORRUPT EVAR!!!!!!

Man shot and wounded by ICE officer in New York City
1st two lines:
An Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and wounded a man in a residential New York City neighborhood Thursday afternoon during what the agency called a "targeted enforcement operation."
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, calling the incident an "outrage," said the man was in a vehicle with a 5-year-old child at the time.
paragraph 7: referring to 'Marcos Charles, DHS's executive associate director for enforcement and removal operations':
Charles said Belgal has alleged associations with the Trinitarios gang and has a prior criminal conviction for grand larceny and "multiple prior arrests for assault, robbery, possession of drugs, and weapons possession."

GOP had this problem in 2010 when it took the house but failed to take the Senate because of odd nominees with no experience. Sayed has no experience whatsoever as a pol. Ditto for Acton. Talafreako is another with scant experience other than a backbencher Rep from a very safe district.

Obama won by a unique set of circumstances that simply are not present now and probably won't be in 2028. Massive youth vote (which is shrinking now as a percentage of the electorate), people wanting racial salvation/expiation, and Bush screwing the pooch in the Middle East and at home with the housing and banking meltdowns.

I'll see none of that as my step-sister is squandering most of it by selling the house WELL below market value and using the rest to pay for her mother's nursing home care.
I certainly hope that there's nothing left before my step-mother passes so at a minimum, my S-S gets nothing and likes it........the c*nt.......

Absolutely nothing for you to be sorry for. I've lived my adult life knowing that I wouldn't get anything from my family, so I've lived accordingly.
The way the S-S handled things after my dad passed was pathetic and mostly a slap in the face, but I chalked it up to "to the winner goes the spoils" because her mom lived longer.
I could've likely made myself the asshole and contested everything by pusing 'of sound mind' since the S-M has dementia and Alzheimer's......but that would've been horrible on her and not really solve much of anything.
I'm just doing everything I can to make sure when we're all said and done, our daughter has something for her nest egg.

MORNING RANT - The Memphis Situation: Tennessee Shouldn't Need Federal Help; “Bake the Cake” Rules Should Apply to Pizza Parlor Denying Service to Guardsmen
is headed by President Trump, run by the U.S. Marshalls, and has involvement from the FBI, DEA, ATF and other federal agencies.
The MSTF has been a tremendous success. Per a 9/29/2026 press release from the US Marshalls service, in the year since the National Guard moved in, Memphis has seen an overall 38% decrease in serious crimes, including:
• Murders down 37%• Sexual assaults down 30%
• Robberies down 47%
• Aggravated assault down 29% I am grateful to President Trump for coming to Memphis’ rescue, but Tennessee shouldn’t have to run to Uncle Sam to police our prominent failed city. If Memphis needs a takeover, the state should do it. I hope Marsha Blackburn will be more assertive as governor when it comes to dealing with Memphis than Governor Bill Lee has been. If Memphis cannot be rehabilitated, it should be dissolved into smaller municipalities. Those sub-sections of Memphis that are capable of becoming self-governing cities should be given that chance. Any remaining parts of Memphis that are not capable of self-government should become a ward of the state until they can be reconstructed into a functioning municipal entity. The same applies to Shelby County as a whole. Whatever restrictions there might be in Tennessee law that would impede this can easily be fixed by amending the state constitution. To be fair to Governor Lee, he did sign legislation a few months ago authorizing the state to take over Memphis’ failed schools. In accordance with the new law, the governor appointed an oversight board for Memphis schools, but Federal District Judge Waverly Crenshaw (an Obama appointee, of course) put a temporary restraining order on the new board. Fortunately, that restraining order is about to expire and it looks like the state will start administering Memphis schools. That is a start. As for the pizza incident involving the National Guard… “Memphis pizza joint owner under fire for denying service to National Guard troops” [NY Post – 7/16/2026]
A Memphis pizzeria owner is facing fierce backlash after refusing over the weekend to serve members of the National Guard deployed to the city to combat crime. Miles Tamboli, proprietor of Tamboli’s Pasta & Pizza, sparked the controversy by turning away troops stationed in the city since September 2025 — and he declared in a Thursday statement that he would “make the same decision tomorrow.” Tamboli argued that utilizing soldiers trained for overseas combat in local law enforcement roles has compromised city safety.I would defend Mr. Tamboli’s right to refuse service to National Guardsmen - no matter how vulgar his actions might seem to me - if conservative business owners had a similar right to refuse service based on conscience, beliefs, and values. But that is not the case. There are two sets of rules based on the politics of the business owner. Per Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, public accommodations (which includes private businesses) may not deny service based on race, color, religion, or national origin. Tamboli’s Pizza is apparently free to deny service to Americans wearing their country’s military uniform, but Patriot Pizza is prohibited from denying service to gang members, cross-dressing men, or jihadis. The extent of how one-sided the denial-of-service rules are was evidenced by the Masterpiece Cakeshop case. Jack Phillips, a Christian, was willing to sell a gay couple a wedding cake, but he refused to create a custom cake with two groom toppers on it. The state of Colorado Civil Rights Commission pursued punitive actions, including mandatory re-education for Phillips and his staff for the purpose of making them endorse sex between two men. The case went to the Supreme Court where Justice Roberts and the Supremes effectively punted on the case, allowing the state of Colorado to continue its persecution of Mr. Phillips. Based on the Masterpiece Cakeshop precedent, it is only fair that Tamboli’s should be forced to make a custom pizza with “Support the National Guard” spelled out in pepperonis. Again, my original principles would be that both Masterpiece Cakeshop and Tamboli’s Pizza should be able to refuse service to anyone they want, including soldiers or gay men. But that is not to be. My succeeding principle is that the left must abide by the rules they impose on conservatives. Bake the pizza, bigot. [buck.throckmorton at protonmail dot com]

We tried that for over 50 years and it's only gotten worse. They never kill enough of themselves to make it stop and a whole lot of innocents get caught up in the violence (Iryna Zarutska and thousands of others). This is America, there should be no "no-go zones". States should bring this under control. A good start would be defenestrating judges and prosecutors who let the scumbags free. Resort to National Guard if necessary.

You know when an anesthesiologist hits you with dope and tells you "count backward from 100?"
And then you get to like 96 and fade the fuck out?
In that 96 moment, you are capable of the exact same aggression level as Tennesssee Governor Bill Lee.
I'm no fan of Blackburn - she is a US Senator, so definitionally bad - but she will definitely be better and more active than him. You could make my lazy old all-bark-and-no-bite Labrador Governor of TN and do better.

🚨 British teen ARRESTED over Facebook post.
Fraser: “I had posted a numerous amount of posts criticizing the councillor… And I must have hit his nerve a bit, so he reported me to the police.”
“As an elected official you’re supposed to be there to represent the people, not to be sitting on your phone getting paid to do nothing.”
-
It all started when Fraser noticed that councilman Simon Bennett showed up to a formal meeting in a T-shirt and shorts, which is still a big faux pas in jolly old England.
At the next meeting, Bennett came dressed in a suit. Fraser posted to Facebook that the politician no longer looked "like a rent boy," which is a slang term for gay prostitutes.

After rejecting Talarico's body, the testicles disappeared. They are thought to have hitched a ride in a feral hog's scrotum.

Chuck is right. Criminals born and bred in big cities also travel to your very community by way of interstates. They go visit Cuz in the country and do their gang banging thing right in Sleepytown USA. The thug diaspora after Katrina had N'Awlins hood rats spread throughout the south spiking crime levels whereever they ended up.
Back when actual research was done, a guy at University of Memphis mapped crime--for a long time, it was confined in Memphis to the projects. Project housing closed, and welfare housing vouchers replaced it. After that, crime exploded across Memphis even in previously safe places due to Section 8 bringing in gang bangers to the magic dirt of safe areas. Became not safe areas in short order.

My sources are telling me Talarico is in a mental health facility. His campaign has stopped actively planning events in the vital homestretch of the campaign.
If this is true, this is actually a time to pray for Talarico. We should, of course, savagely mock his smug, awful campaign advisors, by all means...and while yes, of course, this would be disqualifying for Talarico's aspirations to be a Texas Senator, we must hold empathy for anyone undergoing crisis. Campaigns are brutal, and not everybody is cut out for it. You need very thick skin. As much as I don't want Talarico anywhere near government, I also don't want wish him harm, and no political office is worth having a breakdown. His awful advisors are at fault for this. They pushed him to be something he isn't, and it didn't work.
I'm praying that this isn't true, and he's OK. You want to win these fights on the battlefield of ideas, not the minefield of poor health."

Not really, Talafreako's only shot for an upset was to spike blue turnout to eleventy and have GOP not turn out for Paxton. That appears to not be the case. More importantly, Talafreako's disappearance is probably affecting down ballot competitive races in Texas for the US House mostly around the Rio Grande IRRC.
The building momentum in Florida for Donalds and Moore is likely going to depress Dem turnout in that state making it easier to turn the House redistricting there also into gains.

She sipped her latte gracefully, unaware of the milk foam droplets building on her mustache, which was not the peachy-fine baby fuzz that Nordic girls might have, but a really dense, dark, hirsute lip-lining row of fur common to southern Mediterranean ladies nearing menopause, and winked at the obviously charmed Spaniard at the next table.

Talarico was never going to win.
He's too weird and too of the wrong party for a deep red state that has shifted massively to the right in the last decade. In a state where the establishment has actively been on its back heels and getting kicked out of office in favor of people like Ken Paxton, who is effectively the standard bearer of the replacement.
The only thing that convinced people he had a shot was polling that made literally no sense including things like the white vote shifting 30 points in 2 years, which literally never happens.

The building momentum in Florida for Donalds and Moore is likely going to depress Dem turnout in that state making it easier to turn the House redistricting there also into gains.

Rumors were out yesterday on X by small players. Now the bigger accounts are getting involved like Spencer Pratt. Stephen Miller, WH advisor, who probably knows the score, mentioned on X yesterday that "whatever Talarico's story on the vanishing act when it comes out, it is pretty bad. "

Not really, Talafreako's only shot for an upset was to spike blue turnout to eleventy and have GOP not turn out for Paxton. That appears to not be the case. More importantly, Talafreako's disappearance is probably affecting down ballot competitive races in Texas for the US House mostly around the Rio Grande IRRC.

Funny how at one time, neighborhoods without freeway exits were called racist, because it prevented the poor, but deserving to have access to jobs and social lives among the rich.
Then, freeway exits were found to actually be racist because it allowed racists to live in the suburbs and still travel to jobs and cultural landmarks in city centers, without having to go through "ethnic" neighborhoods.

Republicans in PA are the only people in PA who give Fetterman positive marks, even though he votes for every judge Biden put up and against every judge that Trump puts up.
I just hope Fetterman's replacement for the next election is a one-armed trans-Muslim who advocates for the murder of black Americans because they have too much privilege.

Pennsylvania Early Absentee Update 10/9:
Republicans had another big swing their way with returns with a HUGE 1.92% gain over Democrats.
They also gained slightly (+0.22%) with their new requests, which is something they need to keep up. You can see in the 3rd image the share % for each party and in the last few days Rs are really gaining.
Overall, we are trending towards seeing something around 2022 and likely better for the GOP in terms of absentee volume being lower: that means a lower Democrat lead going into election day.
Final returns for 2022 and 2024 are in the 4th image."

Last week, Republicans effectively pulled the plug on Michael Whatley, who is running for Senate in North Carolina. Instead, they’re redirecting their funds to Kansas.
That’s right, Kansas.
And to put this into perspective, we’re not talking about a few thousand bucks being shuffled around. We’re talking tens of millions of dollars in canceled ad buys and pulled spending — the whole nine yards.
Now here’s where we run into an issue: if we’re meant to believe that Republicans will hold the Senate, then that would surely mean holding onto North Carolina, right?
While I’m no swampy consultant, I know Kansas is a far cry from a swing state, so if Republicans are cutting their losses in North Carolina to save Kansas, that paints a much, much bleaker picture than Congressional leadership would have us imagine.

This is false.
There's still $28 million dedicated to NC for Whatley.
A PAC canceled one ad buy, and people have spun this idea that they're cutting off Whatley.

And Dems are underperforming early vote numbers in NC compared to 2022.
The GOP just has a shit ton of cash and is throwing it everywhere, including Kansas.
Both parties spent $200 million in 2024 for the Texas senate race which Cruz won by 9.

GOP has so much money right now over the Dems that they are looking for places to spend it. CNBC story had it yesterday--GOP has raised about 800 million for the midterm while Democrats about 200. Speaker Johnson just raised another 30 million this past week which means in each competitive House race, that is about one million per race in more funding.
So far, from ev and vote by mail requests, the electorate is much older and whiter than even 2022. Youth turnout is single digits.
Pollsters, because yutes have smart phones and respond to text requests, have yutes as a far bigger part of the likely voter screens they use this year and GOP Gen X and Boomers have gone radio silent in response.
The smart pollsters right now should be recalibrating weighting with real numbers as to the likely electorate.

Old Crow was once my standby bourbon purchase. Reasonably priced back then (1970s). And at one point they sold a flattened fifth bottle, a giant flask, with its own cup on top, for travelers to fit into their suitcases.

Winter Fields, 1942
17 5/16 × 41 in.
Andrew Wyeth
Whitney Museum of American Art
When many American artists were turning toward abstraction, Andrew Wyeth remained a realist, producing precise, evocative paintings of the places he knew best. Winter Fields depicts a dead, frozen crow Wyeth found near his home in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. He took the bird into his studio, sketched it, and then painted it in exquisite detail from a worm’s-eye view, which magnifies the bird relative to its surroundings and thereby suggests the wider significance of its death. Completed during World War II, Winter Fields recalls similarly unflinching photographs of corpses lying on battlefields. Yet Wyeth resented comparisons of his work to photography and said he despised cameras. In fact, despite its apparent precision, Winter Fields subtly distorts reality. The distant trees are as sharply focused as the crow in the foreground—an impossibility for both the human eye and the camera lens. This visual effect compresses the pictorial space toward the surface, and is accentuated by the lacelike, overlapping blades of grass, which create a delicate surface pattern.
A local, I'm biased.💖

I saw a rather unhappy EweToob vid regarding feral hogs in North America...in Texas, 1/3rd of feral hogs are killed every year, but they need to kill 2/3rds of all feral hogs EACH YEAR to prevent the population from growing, given the fecundity of hogs...And in Canada, some folks decided to breed pigs with Eurasian wild boar, but when the market for their meat crashed, let 'em loose, and now those hogs have taken over large areas and threaten to cross our border illegally...

Her Majesty, who is judging near Nashville today, told me this morning that Southwest said all its flights were scheduled and on time. She's supposed to return tomorrow via Atlanta. I think Southwest is either being optimistic or won't let loose an avalanche of cancelations until the last minute..

We had a tropical storm come near in July of 2023...my wife had scheduled cancer treatments in AZ, but all flights at the airport were canceled, and the expected flooding on the interstate precluded driving...it sucked. In the end, I believe our local airport only saw 20MPH gusts.

His political career until he decided to run for Senate was an unremarkable woke dullard who said woke things in a save Austin state house seat. He never got pushback or had to run a major campaign with any real outside attention.

"Legal immigration" now includes accepting any asylum claim anyone throws out and giving them work permits while never following up on the asylum claim or any immigration related matter at all.
What the right considers to be "legal immigration" is a remnant of a memory from the 1950s, not the reality of American immigration since Ted Kennedy spewed forth that immigration bill in the 60s.
We can't have "legal immigration" again until Hart-Cellar is repealed or we get a comparable bill to the 1924 Immigration Act.

The US needs a 10 year moratorium in order to figure out who is here legally and what their legal status actually is. Did they lie on any statement of residency? Have they applied for benefits? Have they aided other illegal acts? All questions should be resolved before we admit a single person claiming to be a worthy immigrant.

He was a woke retard in the state house.
He didn't get pushed to the left when he decided to run for US senate. He had to pull himself towards the center.
If that causes him a mental breakdown, he's a bad person and we should mock his infirmities.

We had an effective 40 year moratorium after the 1924 bill.
We were getting 5-7% GDP in the 50s. Sure, a lot of that was post-war, Europe destroyed itself stuff.
But it's not like Europe is a vibrant source of commerce now either.

The Morning Report — 10/9 /26
This is all a long way of saying that Republicans don’t always agree. Infighting has always existed, and it is exaggerated by the leftist media, which sees an opportunity to make things worse for us. But I say to hell with them. At least Republicans are still arguing about what they believe. The Democrat Party, meanwhile, seems willing to broaden its coalition to include just about anybody with a grievance and a protest sign: Maoists, radical Islamists, militant feminists, blue-haired lunatics who take over city blocks, anti-civilization Antifa bomb-throwers, and, worst of all, Ivy League graduates.As CBD and I tried to underscore, with the Democrat/Left in power and controlling all or even part of government would mean none of us would be safe. Frankly that we somehow survived eight years of Obama considering his chief adviser Bill Ayers at one point agreed with one of his acolytes that once he and the Weathermen had overthrown the American government and seized absolute power would have to liquidate at least 25 million of us deadeners who would refuse to be reeducated and submit to their plans for paradise on earth.
Larry Grathwohl is the military veteran who volunteered to infiltrate the Weather Underground as an FBI operative in 1969. He is probably best-known for his firsthand account of a Weatherman meeting at which the organization's leadership, including the future Professor Ayers, discussed the logistics of how, after the communist revolution they were trying to spearhead, they would murder the ten percent of the American population that would likely remain resistant to the communists' re-education program. Grathwohl has often been interviewed about that meeting and about his days among the Weather Underground (WU). The focus of those interviews used to be on the radicals and their terrorist operations. More recently, interviewers have turned to Grathwohl to help them highlight Barack Obama's own radicalism, by reminding people of the true nature of the "guy in Obama's neighborhood."
Yeah, Tillis, Thune, Collins, Murkowski and all the rest are venal, amoral pigs. But they're not going to engage in the aforementioned. Yeah, we'll be poorer and frustrated when they're in office but we won't be rotting in a mass grave should the Ocasios, Talaricos, El-Sayeds and all the rest win the next election or two which would then be the last ones ever held. And on a very closely related note, this happened yesterday...
Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he tried to negotiate with President Trump to release the “criminal illegal alien” and alleged gang member who was shot by ICE Thursday in the Bronx as he called for the abolishment of the federal agency. “Around 4 p.m. this afternoon, a New Yorker was shot by ICE agents in Marble Hill,” a furious Mamdani told reporters at the late-night press conference near the scene of a rowdy anti-ICE protest in the borough. “For the past two hours, I’ve been on the phone with President Trump and [DHS] Secretary Mullin negotiating the release of the man ICE agents shot. Those negotiations were unsuccessful,” Hizzoner said. The migrant, identified by the NYPD as Oscar Belgal, 28, was shot in the neck and hospitalized before he was taken from NewYork-Presbyterian Allen Hospital by unmarked ICE vehicles, according to the mayor. Mamdani — who spoke over protesters’ chants labeling him “complicit” — called Immigration and Customs Enforcement “rotten to its core” and is an “agency that must be abolished” in the fiery speech. “What does Trump have to say about all of this?” he demanded. “Now I made clear to the president, to the secretary, our request [is] that ICE agents leave the scene entirely — as well as the demand that ICE stop its enforcement actions in New York City.” The Department of Homeland Security said ICE had been attempting to arrest Belgal, of the Dominican Republic, who they claimed has ties to the Trinitarios gang when the shooting occurred. . . However, moments before the press conference kicked off around 11:20 p.m., “ICE put the man in an unmarked vehicle and whisked him away,” Hizzoner said. “Let me say this plainly, what happened today was an outrage,” Mamdani fumed. “Today’s shooting is only further devastating confirmation of what we have long known, which is that ICE operates with impunity, that they sow chaos and terror across our country, that they have killed far more of our neighbors than they could ever have claimed to save,” the mayor said.in other words, we have Hitler complaining that the Allied armies have killed too many Waffen S.S. before they had the chance to exterminate all the untermenschen and conquer the world! As if to underscore both these stories, we have this madness:
When pro-terrorist activist Mahmoud Khalil appeared on CNN Monday, Kaitlan Collins asked if he would condemn Hamas. He, of course, would not, calling the question “silly” and “disingenuous.” It isn’t “black and white,” he whined. Even if you oppose Israel’s reaction to the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre, the answer is still black and white for any person with a conscience.There's intentionally swallowing rat poison and then there's cancer that comes from within! Aside from those we insanely import, we have our own homegrown fellow citizens IN NAME ONLY, who seek our destruction.
Certainly, it should be for any person who wants to become a naturalized citizen of the United States. But the fact that Khalil can’t condemn Hamas — and anyone paying attention understands that he supports the terrorist army — tells us not only that he deserves to be deported, but that it’s imperative we deport him.
During the 1960s and 1970s, immigration officials grilled newcomers to the US about their affiliations with communist parties.
Why would we import people who want to destroy our system?
Newcomers were, and still are, compelled to disavow associations with illiberal movements, violent groups and ideologies. They were also required to promise not to engage in any subversive or revolutionary activity. Well, Khalil’s entire job as an “activist” is to engage in subversive or revolutionary activity.
Khalil is an Algerian, incidentally, not a Palestinian — though he is a champion of Palestinianism, one of the most nihilistic, bigoted, violent, anti-Western ideologies of the age.
There’s no anti-American or Marxist protest or riot anywhere in the world these days where Palestinian flags are not prominent.The French, of course, don’t need much impetus to riot.
. . . The red-green alliance between Islamists and communists isn’t new — it’s just more popular than ever.
France has over 5 million Muslims.
What you see happening this week on the streets of Paris is exactly what Khalil hopes to see in the United States.

- David Harsanyi: But the fact that Khalil can’t condemn Hamas — and anyone paying attention understands that he supports the terrorist army — tells us not only that he deserves to be deported, but that it’s imperative we deport him. During the 1960s and 1970s, immigration officials grilled newcomers to the US about their affiliations with communist parties. Why would we import people who want to destroy our system? Newcomers were, and still are, compelled to disavow associations with illiberal movements, violent groups and ideologies. They were also required to promise not to engage in any subversive or revolutionary activity. Well, Khalil’s entire job as an “activist” is to engage in subversive or revolutionary activity.

62 I was watching a YouTube video yesterday about a church running a singles dating event and it was not well attended by the men. A few people were saying that it was creepy to use a church for this.
My thought: Shouldn't a church have events like this to encourage young people to marry and have families? The response to my opinion was a bit negative but I see nothing wrong with it.
Posted by: NR Pax at October 09, 2026 06:12 AM (NR6c1)
Catholics don't generally hold such events in the church proper, which is formally consecrated. Baptists use theirs as a general meeting space, designed to be repurposed throughout the week, maybe even with moveable partitions. It's a fundamentally incompatible sense of the sacred.
Of course Catholics have diocesan groups for young adult singles, some parishes may as well. I visited another parish's group for co-ed volleyball in their parish school's gym. I met up with the diocesan group at a brewpub for an artwalk in the Big City arts district. Things like that, perfectly normal.
I can see different points of view, but one benefit of keeping the chapel sacred is to discourage the players' game of Sunday Morning Nightclub.

Hey, SciVo. I was going to answer you and Fen but the thread had closed by the time I got back.
My view was simply that a church should encourage the single men and women to marry and have kids. Apparently, this did not sit well with some folks. I ain't going back to that thread because I have a feeling that nothing I say would make a difference.
Fen, thanks for your perspective as well. I do think that churches should be actively setting things like this up since you would have people of like minds meeting. And now I remember a minister who told his congregation that the unmarried people who were living together had six months to get married or breakup. He even provided counseling and the church for the service.

Rapes in America are usually done by illegals brought in during Democrat administrations. Sometimes, it's a citizen. Usually in lower income areas or gang related.
It's NEVER a MAGA man. NEVER.
They want you dead, imprisoned or enslaved. Democrats are NOT for America. They're for communism. Remember, Owebama was jealous of Xi Jinping because he could squash his press if they were negative.
They want total control. NOT a free society.

Most people in the sticks ran on batteries. Banks of them. Wire your house for 32 volt DC Lights and appliances.
Windmills and generators for re-charging. WinChargers are sometimes found in antique shops. Neat items, and kind of rare. One reason, the government required these be destroyed, or rendered inoperable, in exchange for getting mains electrical service. Shooting them was considered acceptable.
32 volt DC “farm radios” are sometimes found. They used the same electrical plug as more modern appliances, but woe to the knick-knack collector who plugs one in to 120 volts AC to “see if it works”. Oops!

She doesn't know where the attack happened and can't describe the men other than to say that they were white Republicans. They were wearing MAGA hats. They told her, "This is MAGA country," as they took her. Over and over.
Then they gave her a Subway sandwich. Which is why she didn't report it for two weeks, as is, apparently, common among women these days.

The downside with this is that if a budding relationship goes sour, too many of your fellow parishioners observe it.
Remember the axiom of “Don’t get your p ——y where you get your paycheck.

Finally. One of your days I can endorse. I lived within walking distance of Leif Erickson Park in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. There were more than 60,000 Norwegians in Bay Ridge and Sunset Park in 1960. I even have a Leif Erickson Day button. Marched in the May 17 Norwegian Independence Day Parade. I never went to an English language church service until I was 12.Both of my parents came over on the boat, separately, around 1950.

>>But the fact that Khalil can’t condemn Hamas — and anyone paying attention understands that he supports the terrorist army — tells us not only that he deserves to be deported, but that it’s imperative we deport him.
I'm going to make a wild azz guess that he wouldn;t condemn them because he is Hamas.
Hamas planned and coordinated the 10/7 attack so that immediately after the attack, Pali activists throughout the western world started protesting on behalf of Hamas, condemning "genocidal" Israel before the 10/7 victims' bodies were cold. Khalil was a protest leader at Columbia.
Yes, he should not be here - why can we not eject this filth already?

If you haven't already, go to Amazon and buy an ice therapy machine. Then freeze eight 8 or 12 ounce bottles of water whichever best fits your machine. Fill your new machine with water poured over the frozen bottles, strap it onto your knee and turn it on.
Instant relief. Switch out the bottles every couple hours. It is truly the best.

The 2026 Newark Islamic flag raising was a ceremony held on January 9, 2026, at Newark City Hall in Newark, New Jersey—the state's largest city, with a population exceeding 300,000—during which an Islamic flag was hoisted amid cheers of "Allahu Akbar" from attendees. Organized as part of New Jersey Muslim Heritage Month by the Newark Muslim Heritage Coalition, the event highlighted the city's diverse demographics but sparked online discussion regarding the display of religious symbols in public spaces, trending via social media with notable engagement

So they oppose the right because the right sometimes stops them from looting the treasury.
This is why with a weak leftwing leader, like Biden, they doubled the budget - he needed the additional $4T/year to keep the various leftwing groups in line.

Even with this crackdown I don’t see much change happening. The entire leadership is Indian. Not all are H1Bs many are green card or even citizens. There are also many other visas used to bring them over. Another scam is many of these people aren’t direct employees. They are employees of Tata or Infosys and are contracted out using L1 visas. It’s one giant scam on top of a grift.

Watched a bit of News Nation this am and found it's more positive and objective than any other popular cable or msm news network. There were guests that emphasized the positive & reality: Inflation has dropped from 9% down to 3+% in this country, and should drop further. There has been no storming of the U.S. borders by unvetted illegals for over a year and a half. And Iran is NOT a joke; it must be stopped.
What is on the other "new" channels? TDS wrapped into almost every other headline, and mostly as the breaking news.
We have a governor who's entire platform has been & continues to be suing the Trump administration with our taxpayer dollars and installing "politicians" - Socialists - who will fight the 3 "Cs" - chaos, cruelty, and corruption - of the administration. And I think that sounds like the damn pattern for all of the blue (& 'PA purple') lead clowns. After all, how are Hochul, Mikie, Abigail & the rest of the children any different?
From above, "... they would murder the ten percent of the American population that would likely remain resistant to the communists' re-education program."

Daily Tech News 9 October 2026
Top Story
- Global PC shipments have plunged 20%, shocking industry analysts. (Notebook Check)
Who expected the numbers to be much worse.
One of them tried to blame it on "macro conditions", which is of course pure bullshit, unless he's referring to the scale of the price increases.
Tech News
- The developer of ArtCraft posted the announcement on Reddit, which was a mistake. (Tom's Hardware)
It always is. Also:Skeptics also warn of safety concerns with vibecoded software; a single person has generated potentially hundreds of thousands of lines of code for multiple pieces of software very quickly, and verification of the code becomes a mountain of a task for a developer without a team; a 2026 State of Code Developer Survey of 1,100 professionals by Sonar indicates that 96% of developers do not fully trust AI-generated code. Privacy problems, malicious code, unsafe file handling, and more are among the list of concerns.
First, it's a desktop app. Second, compared with Adobe?
- Global Foundries (formerly AMD's chip manufacturing division) is going to produce cows for TSMC. (Tom's Hardware)
I think.
- Why isn't the industry freaking out about DeepSeek 4.1 Flash? (Jono's Corner)
Because, as the Hacker News thread points out, subscriptions, dummy.
DeepSeek is a fraction of the price of Anthropic's API usage-based rates. Anthropic's subscriptions, though, can be a fraction of the price of DeepSeek. And of itself.
- Arrange the Offenbach's Galop infernal for a 35-voice synthesiser, reading the orchestral parts from PDFs of actual 19th century score sheets used (and written in) by an actual 19th century orchestra. As a demo for my fantasy 10-bit home computer.
- Which is almost but not quite entirely unlike the Atari 800XL. (Tom's Hardware)
Which is going on sale again soon priced at $219.

I just went to check on a script that finished. Stuff happened so I'm making coffee and getting to my project. The dog sleeps until 8am and I just put my friends' cat outside so morning is crazy productive.

Probably the long-overdue execution of the army base spree killer. From Brave AI:
The military execution of Nidal Hasan is scheduled to take place at Fort Hood in Texas.
Date & Time: December 3, 2026, at 1 p.m. Central Time
Method: Firing squad
Significance: This will be the first U.S. military execution since 1961 and the first by firing squad since World War II
Public Access: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed the event will be public and livestreamed
Fort Hood is a U.S. Army post in Killeen, Texas, in Central Texas. It sits roughly halfway between Austin (~60 mi south) and Waco (~50 mi north), spanning about 335 square miles across Bell and Coryell counties.
Note: The base was briefly renamed Fort Cavazos in 2023 but was renamed back to Fort Hood in 2025.

I was watching a YouTube video yesterday about a church running a singles dating event and it was not well attended by the men. A few people were saying that it was creepy to use a church for this.
My thought: Shouldn't a church have events like this to encourage young people to marry and have families? The response to my opinion was a bit negative but I see nothing wrong with it.

Because, as the Hacker News thread points out, subscriptions, dummy.
DeepSeek is a fraction of the price of Anthropic's API usage-based rates. Anthropic's subscriptions, though, can be a fraction of the price of DeepSeek. And of itself./i]
I don't care how cheap it is, if my company, or self, needed to pay for AI to use for projects, there's no way I'd use Chinese AI to do it with.
I'm not even sure if I'd use a free Chinese model that I could run locally.
It's not so much as it being more dangerous than any other country's AI, but it's more like I have no idea how much data the AI is sending to the CCP's servers in the open or clandestinely.

96% of developers do not fully trust AI-generated code
The rest are using it for very tiny projects they can manually vet.
I don't *think* my personal project that I'm depending on AI for coding assistance, is going to be problematic... but it's quite possible there's plenty of best practice stuff being skipped (input validation, anti-patterns, etc) because, well, it's a personal project that runs on the desktop and the free-anon clankers are... deliberately weakened, as far as I can tell.

Of course a church should. In the late '80s-early '90s I attended several singles events at a church near where I worked, and met and dated two or three nice ladies.
Before dating apps, if you recall, churches used to do this regularly or hold singles dances, and local arts-and-entertainment papers used to hold events like these too. In Denver I went to one in late '97.

Churches have long held social events for young people.
They used to hold dances, picnics, cookouts, for that very purpose. Or, a lot of churches did, I'm sure there were some denominations that believed it was all the devil's work.
Nothing new about it now, except it's just a cocktail party without the cocktails its seems.

With its cartridge port, obviously the new 800XL can use a range of cartridges that also worked with the original. Specifically, the product page mentions that “most Atari 400, 800, XL, and XE cartridges” are supported by the new system.
A bullet point at the bottom of the article also mentions:
Also features support for software created for 8-bit computers and the Atari 5200 console.
So, I guess it's "Your old game cartridge might work, but we're not making any promises."

Last night the noir film on Movies! was 1947's The Unsuspected, directed by Michael "Casablanca" Curtiz. It stars Claude Rains as a radio commentator (inspired, I've read, by Alexander Woollcott) who focuses on real-life murder cases. Turns out he's got some murders he plans to execute in his own life. A fascinating, complex, and atmospheric movie, based on a Charlotte Armstrong novel.

Catholics don't generally hold such events in the church proper, which is formally consecrated. Baptists use theirs as a general meeting space, designed to be repurposed throughout the week, maybe even with built-in moveable partitions. It's a fundamentally incompatible sense of the sacred.
Of course Catholics have diocesan groups for young adult singles, some parishes may as well. I visited another parish's group for co-ed volleyball in their parish school's gym. I met up with the diocesan group at a brewpub for an artwalk in the Big City arts district. Things like that, perfectly normal.
I can see different points of view, but one benefit of keeping the chapel sacred is to discourage the players' game of Sunday Morning Nightclub.

Thursday Overnight Open Thread - October 8, 2026
Adirondack Mountains, New York - From Aesthetic vibes
Howdy Hordelings! Welcome to the Thursday ONT! Mixed bag of content for those who care. Open thread, as always. On time, as always. What's on YOUR mind tonight?
To embrace rapidly increasing technological advances or not. Kodiak says yes. Kodiak ready to 'pull the driver' and launch unsupervised driverless trucks by end of year
Kodiak's unsupervised driverless long-haul delivery trucks will soon hit Texas roads as its partnership with Swedish furniture giant IKEA enters a new phase. Kodiak founder and CEO Don Burnette joined "Varney & Co." Tuesday to shed light on the rollout and the technology behind the autonomous trucks. "We're starting with one. We're gonna get that first one out by the end of the year, and then we're gonna start to scale throughout 2027 and beyond," Burnette said. Burnette said IKEA will serve as the launch partner later in the year. "We're doing just over 200-mile trips to start, but nobody in the driver's seat, nobody in [the] cab," Burnette said. Burnette explained that Kodiak provides the AI-powered software that serves as "the brain" behind how the autonomous trucks drive. "We've proven the technology is safe and reliable. We've done a lot of work over the last decade or so to make sure we've covered every contingency, and now we're ready to go," he said.Video segment at the link. *** Doordash says yes. DoorDash drone delivery doesn’t spell end for drivers, executive says
DoorDash is revolutionizing the way it delivers food to its Northern California customers thanks to drones, officials say. The company insists that all will remain the same, except deliveries made by drones will ensure faster arrivals and more options for consumers. Harrison Shih, head of DoorDash Air, joined “The Hill on NewsNation” to discuss the new delivery method, adding it may “one day” be an offering in big cities such as New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles. “DoorDash really is the strongest in your standard suburbs, and I think that’s what makes this service so good for DoorDash, as we think about drone delivery, is DoorDash has really been built around… connecting those communities with their neighbors and getting food across all of those areas,” Shih said.
DoorDash says its new drone can get food to you in under five minutes — but Texas residents are already calling Amazon drone noise a 'big problem'
The future of doorstep delivery is drones apparently (well, drones and robots): DoorDash has unveiled a new drone ready to get food to you in under five minutes on average, even as Amazon faces a growing number of complaints over its own drone delivery service. DoorDash has been planning drone deliveries for a while, calling the scheme DoorDash Air, and we've now been given a look at the six-propeller aircraft that'll be doing the delivering. A trial is planned for Northern California, in partnership with restaurant brands including Chipotle and Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen. A lot of work has gone into the pick-up and drop-off infrastructure and ordering system, DoorDash says, as well as the drone itself. The company estimates that around 80% of customer orders are light enough to transport by drone, and initial tests suggest orders can be delivered in less than five minutes on average. *** The drones won't land when they deliver — they'll lower their cargo in front of your door or in your backyard and then zoom away again. According to DoorDash, failsafes will be built in so the drones can safely land in emergencies, and their cruising noise will be comparable to a passing car "at delivery height". That noise element might be crucial to the scheme's success. As TechSpot reports, residents in Richardson, Texas are none too pleased about the constant buzzing being created by Amazon drones, which launched Prime Air in the area last December. The sound has been compared to that of a flying lawnmower.*** Chick-fil-A says not so fast. Chick-fil-A rules out AI drive-thru ordering as fast-food rivals embrace technology
Chick-fil-A is bucking a growing fast-food industry trend, with CEO Andrew Cathy saying the chicken chain does not plan to use artificial intelligence to take customers' drive-thru orders. While Chick-fil-A is exploring potential uses for AI behind the scenes, Cathy told CNBC that the company wants to preserve human interaction in its drive-thru lanes even as competitors increasingly experiment with automated ordering technology. "From our experience, we really want that hospitality to be human to human," Cathy told the outlet. "We’re not going to substitute that interaction with technology, because we feel like that hospitality is so important to create that warm environment for consumers."
*** The US Army unsurprisingly says yes. US Army tests counter-drone tech at Mexican border as cartel drone use rises
The US Army is testing counter-drone technology in the US-Mexico border area, seeking to sharpen its defenses against the growing threat of drone use by cartels and emulate the rapid battlefield innovation happening in Ukraine's war with Russia. At Falcon Peak, a US Northern Command exercise held in September in Arizona, soldiers watched as defense firms demonstrated radars, interceptor drones, autonomous gun systems and other technologies designed to detect, track and destroy small unmanned aircraft.

And right now, it appears that this is going to be an older and whiter electorate--Gen X and Boomers predominating which are swinging toward GOP. Youth turnout is not going to be that much perhaps below 10 percent apparently with Millennials above yutes but well below X and Boomers so far.
Getting enough early voting and absentee requests now to start painting the actual electorate.

More than that, he said, we live in times that are being gravely threatened by dehumanization. We interact more with digital systems than with people. But at the symphony, he said, there are real people, musicians who have mastered their instruments through thousands of hours of practice, and they are playing physical things.
There are bows drawn on gut and steel strings, real cymbals clanging together, mallets hitting drums, lungs powering brass, and a harpist using hands and figures to make the sounds of heaven appear before us. A season ticket shows your loyalty to the humane arts, to the beautiful, to the truth, to the analog world of genuine human achievement

No sign of the draconids here, too much light pollution in that quadrant right now.
Job search continues, a part time temp job might go active soon, and that would bring some income and keep some skills sharp/get the rust cleaned off. Had one previous interview from about a month ago finally update with "sorry but you're not moving forward"... still have the others to hope for, including the best fit I've felt since I started this whole sorry saga (last Thursday's interview).
I pray frequently, and try to keep an open mind about how "where God wants me" might not line up with "what sounds good to me". Trying to pray more, and pray better.

Whatever it is, it has to be incapacitating, if it was something like cancer or even the flu, the candidate would be at least sending out messages, pix from a hospital bed, something other than radio silence. If old, something like stroke might be possible but age tends to rule that out but if Talafreako did go loopy, then his handlers don't want him seen nor heard until they patch him up like Biden.
Whatever it is, it is not severe enough to try to parachute another candidate in, but severe enough that the Dems don't want him seen that way.

You could, but it would depend depend on if you wanted it to be a combat focused tactical game or a true open ended espionage simulator.
The espionage simulator route would probably take around 6 months of total dedication to map out and storyboard, develop the game mechanics and front end to get to an MVP.

Does AI possess enough logic/ creativity/ precognition/ imagination to view a vehicle up ahead that is creating a "HEY, LOOK AT THIS IDIOT" scenario, and react like we humans do.
The vehicle ahead may be maintaining itself within the boundaries of the lane, although weaving and drifting enough for a human driver to recognize an issue (drinking, falling asleep, medical issues) resulting in us keeping our distance and keeping an eye on them in the event that a quick reaction is required. I don't see AI being able to apply that human response if for the time being the vehicle remains within its lane.

Just what people need is a nervous ghey in office.
I enjoyed and related to the redneck video. My beloved father, Marine, chemistry degree, golfing, refined Southern gentleman was most of that.
He even had a "back 40" or at least 10 acres of cars on the farm. Our sons were thrilled to find these relics one winter day, with a tree growing through one of them. Sunk into the ground. Felt like explorers. After his death someone bought the cars to restore and mother got money for them as they were hauled off.
He certainly did not throw stuff away and had jars of screws, etc, in his storage room. He also messed with electricity at times for reasons unknown. An electrician told my mother that the motion detectors were wired with mystery.
There were electric fences for the cows here and and sometimes not seen (one painter was peeing way in the back woods and got a shock).

Precedent is DeWine in OH. He was a senator until he got beat, then did a comeback through state offices until he became governor.
DeWine was beaten; he didn't leave office rather than run because he was universally hated like Tillis. We'll see, but I think he's delusional if he expects election to anything.

Yeah, I've been in my new job for over a month now, and I got an email today giving me the sorry news that I wasn't a fit at someplace I sent my resume to almost a month before I started this job. The fun part was how they spent an entire paragraph telling me to not feel too bad about getting turned down before telling me I was turned down. They really didn't want to hurt my feelings!

Besides, if Walmart deprives you of your liberty or kills you, it is either kidnapping or murder. If a police officer does it, it’s business as usual and a sign of GREAT police work.
It is one thing for a private organization to protect property; it is another for an organization that exists to deprive people of their liberty, or kill them, to engage in constant surveillance.

How this is playing out right now puts a spotlight on why Paxton was always a far better candidate than Cornyn. (Despite all the consultant class lies to the contrary). Paxton has jumped on the disappearance and is mocking him in his speeches lately, with no response from the Dems.
When a candidate becomes the butt of many jokes, his campaign is over, especially if he doesn’t respond.
Cornyn would have sat back and said nothing except “that’s not who we are.”

Senior officers with the worst range scores should be required to perform it. With repeated volleys until someone succeeds. A little public practice to encourage private practice prior!

To make it sporty, put him on an incline and let him roll near a pool of gators. There are 3 chances and if all 3 fail to get in a live round, the woodchipper is next door of the top of the incline to wheel him there. Easy.

Dropping this in the punchbowl at this time makes it difficult for the Dems to praise corporations importing workers (which they secretly want to screw white males) and makes the country club GOP cheap labor crowd unable in the middle of a race to back bite. GOP needed to shore up its support by black and white citizen males and this will help.

Good ole Thirty Thirty is more than capable inside 100-150 yards for humans. Use a corelokt 150gr bullet. The equally old 35 Remington hits with a bit more authority but not necessary for humans.

Hi, nurse. Last summer I got a bit of norovirus from the baby grandgirl. She harfed on me and that started the all female band (son, grandson and husband were oddly immune).
I got what I called the cholera version of the diarrhea instant weight loss for days. I knew better than to drink colored gatorade and stuck to a refreshing clear and fruity pedialyte. I need to stock some for end times.
We had to fly to NOLA and see my mother in MS a week later. I look like a corpse in the family photos.
'Twas a lovely time as during the fiesta of pedialyte my husband discovered a leak from the kitchen to the basement family room. Requiring plumbing, sheet rock guys, a drying fan, and painters as I lay dying upstairs.
I didn't care. The contractor told my husband that we were the calmest people he'd ever worked with after a wall flood (well, he didn't see me, but I was calm as near death).

I found another one, I think, that almost certainly must have drawn some attention. Or not…
Old time radio program, Superman episode “Dr Deutsch and the Radium Mine” first aired in June 1941
The episode was about Radium, and the evil Dr. Deutsch and his underground lair for smuggling Radium in hollowed out books, which isn’t quite separating isotopes of Uranium, but it’s pretty close, and they mentioned “atomic” power or bombs, and how a small handful of the stuff could wipe out the entire United States.
This is pretty remarkable given the time frame, in that year physicists, mostly refugees from Europe, were still pretty much trying to get the US government to get motivated even about the possibility of fast fission bombs. This was about the time Enrico Fermi tried to alert the US Navy. He managed to get an interview at the War department with some colonel or someone. He overheard an aide alert his boss in his office while he (Fermi) was waiting - “There’s a Wop outside”.

Well, DUH! (Unknown to me) a downstairs window latch was broken.. so, easy peasy, slide it open & jump in-- after moving a lawn mower up to it-- and then sliding it shut. Can't lock the front door without a key, so yeah it was unlocked because the FKer got in.

I had been trying to think what to get Mom for her 80th birthday. Then I remembered I had some audio cassettes my grandparents made when mom and dad first got married. The first one is from February. 1970.
I got them digitized and got the audio link tonight. It is so wonderful. The first tape is somewhat garbled as they were trying to work out how the recorder worked. So it is a bit out of order as I think they listened to what they first recorded and then recorded over the bad spots. I have just been listening for the past couple of hours.
Going to see Mom and Dad for her birthday tomorrow. I hope she likes it.

The environmental assessment turned up ..... radioactivity. Very anomalous levels thereof. Hmmm. Further investigation revealed that the site had been the location of a secret facility using radium (I think to paint instrument dials) during WWII.
Key point: quite a few of the workers who had worked at the facility in WWII were still alive, and local. Of course none said a word when the whole property transfer thing was going on. When asked why they never said anything, a woman (as I recall) who'd worked there said something like "it was a secret operation, and we were never told it was no longer secret".
Similar things happened in the UK in the 90s. Standards are real. Their erosion or weakening is one of the most damaging trends in civilization.

Firing squad was historically (or traditionally) considered the honorable way for a soldier to go to his great reward. Major Hasan naturally doesn’t deserve any of that. Hanging would be appropriate in this case.
The certainty of punishment is important, but always the celerity. 17 years is Fucking Clown World. A terrible injustice and insult to the victims and family. Sends a terrible message to rank and file on how important their lives are.
Some assclown general officer at the time started whining publicly about how important “diversity” was. So very sick of all these stupid MFers.

The Democrats nationalized the race early by their endless Orangeman Bad and now the race is becoming a referendum on Democrats want to do that they have not talked about rather than the GOP hasn't done. Plus the electorate so far in ev and vote by mail requests is skewing Gen X and Boomers with Boomers breaking right while the polls still show yutes storming the polls at historically abnormal rates for midterms.
Cautiously optimistic as if the GOP does well in the marquee races as they appear to be doing, then the down ballot races including House races make it possible for the GOP to hold the house. I think with Rogers slamming Sayed that MI race tonight is now his to lose and that makes it almost impossible for the Dems to win the Senate. And most of the states with real tight races in the Senate are Democrat like in MN, NH, and it looks like Collins did her job in her debate and an older electorate is probably going to keep her in office.
Even NC and GA are reachable it seems now.

I just spent the evening checking in on debates, voting patterns, candidate spending, and even a few polls. GOP has the momentum right now and the Democrat candidates are not really performing in debates in state after state as if they are bad candidates this cycle.
I don't really see Democrats surging anywhere right now except possibly VA but rather on the defensive and unable to communicate clear messages that will unify the DSA types with the less ideological types. And their candidates are lacking the money to push a message now even it they wanted too versus the GOP onslaught. So far, GOP is turnout at at least at the 2022 level in some places, higher in others. Younger voters under about 40 are not possibly due to lack of GOTV funding this cycle (usually mail in ballot banking) or a not so inspiring muddled messaging from teh party. GOP seems to be running well in governor's races as well with good candidates and good messaging. At this point, cautiously optimistic on the House, GOP holds the Senate perhaps even gaining a seat or two in a wave, and GOP is likely to gain a governor's mansion or two and hold their open seats.

But, Trump's messaging and rallies are also having an effect and I think the H1B/OPT announcements along with announcements of new investments in these rallies is going to have a positive effect and yet the Democrats cannot really respond in a coherent opposition message, sort of like Talarico, their candidates seem in a daze right now which is odd. Katie Hobbs for example has been hiding longer than Talarico in the bunker.
It is as if they thought by concentrating on criticizing Trump would be their magic wand this election and that Trump's unfavorabilities would surely bring the GOP down. I think RINOs were hoping that as well. But a small sign today indicates the GOP if not the media may be giving up the demoralization campaign, Thom Tillis endorsed Michael Whatley for the Senate today.
Pollsters are getting more serious in likely voter screening and suddenly totally ridiculous polling is becoming more realistic. Prediction markets are going the be the last to start moving except in specific races.

Heh. For some reason, my browser is not being cooperative today.
I always prefer to make any prognostications until I see the shape of the electorate and this electorate is going to skew older this time and whiter. I don't see blacks particularly enthused in voting for Dems and part of that may be resentment over the new found concerns for illegals that the Dems have been focusing upon.
I don't see youth really fired up except perhaps other than responding to texts to answer polling because their vote share is coming in really low. Bringing out old celebutards like Willy or Bruce is simply tone deaf by now.
And I think all the radical pro Gaza and other policies like troonism or illegals is simply not playing well in this environment other than the roughly 22-25 percent DSA type liberals in the electorate. Sayed is patient zero but the inability to address Iran, Muslims, and the 10/7 attacks is all due to DSA types being out of step with the mainstream on these issues. Ditto now for illegals--the overton window has shifted right and riots like in Paris are confirming this.

I think the problem is deeper than that. What the DSA Democrats want to do is not sellable to the majority of the electorate. Pro Gaza when all our past associations with those assholes is a long stream of murderous terrorism. Pro Iran when again, a long train that other voters recognize as a nasty murderous regime. Pro socialism, sells okay to broke college students, not to those that have stuff that the DSA types want to take. Putting radicals like Mamdani as a F/U to the Man in NYC does not work in Michigan for a Senate race. Putting a wealthy self funded candidate for governor parachuted in from Portland OR does not play well when the state is Iowa. Talarico is a small time candidate with skanty experience suddenly in the big leagues in a very expensive and tough Senate campaign and may have crumbled like a cookie under that pressure.
Ossoff played arrogant when he has very little achievement to be arrogant about. These are not seeming as likable people that the Dems put up this cycle. Smug, well off enough to insulate themselves, zealots, and nutty would be my take.

I think the much older No Kings crowd is responsible for the initial spurt of voting as polls and voting request opened but that has been eroded each day by GOP requests and EV totals. Youth vote from 18-29 is below ten percent in places like OH for example. In some states, indicative of a GOP ground game, the GOP is actually ahead of vbm and early voting compared with 2024! which was a presidential year. Michigan is one of those states and it might cost the Dems the governor's house as well as both the GOP candidates, Rogers and James are known, and the MI Sec of State trying to succeed Whitmer is known as a major league cheater and asshole from litigation stemmig back to 2020. James, like Rogers, dominated the debate with the Dem candidate. Sayed, I think is finished after tonight. Rogers brought the heat and smoked him which should extend Roger's narrow lead.

Everybody here is fine with personal attacks, so long as they think the target has it coming. Not the biggest deal in the world.

I had a cow-orker who was on one that went way rogue. They refused to give the DA multiple charges to use as a club to extract a guilty plea. A couple of cases where the DA brought in one cop, the jury subpoenaed their partner got a different story and refused to indict.
It sounded like fun to me.

CNN: Talarico’s 12-day absence from trail becomes fodder for GOP in Texas Senate race
He has the flu and is a type 1 diabetic, those two things do not go well together so I understand. I’m t1 diabetic and last time I got the flu I ended up in the ICU. His team says he’ll be back this weekend though.
meanwhile Tom Kean in NJ disappears for months with radio silence, comes back and cites vague medical issues, then votes to cut medical benefits.
Couldn’t even get the guy to come visit a factory in town before the tariffs shut it down, lmao. Tom Kean Jr. is a worthless piece of shit. He should’ve been aborted.
Paxton won’t even debate him and can’t answer any questions about his record without running away but yeah Talarico being sick with the flu is way worse
Did not take CNN long to become right wing propaganda. Paxton has ran possibly the laziest campaign I've ever seen, but we're just going to make shit up about Talarico I guess.
"Fodder for GOP"? They don't even need things that are real for fodder. They've been calling him a vegan all year and it's not true at all. They just make shit up.

@VigilantFox
A 19-year-old charged with stabbing a man in Pittsburgh so badly his intestines were hanging out was released the SAME DAY without posting a dime.
Eight days later, he’s the prime suspect in ANOTHER stabbing.
District Judge Dan Butler let Delvin Dobbins walk on a non-monetary bond. Just a promise to show up to court.
Pittsburgh Police Chief Jason Lando couldn’t believe he was out.
“How can that be? I mean, he just stabbed someone in the stomach a week ago.”
And it’s happened before.
Two years earlier, Dobbins was let go after a burglary arrest because the juvenile detention center had closed. Two months later, he was charged with SHOOTING a convenience store clerk.
Two stabbings and a shooting. The man keeps racking up victims because the judge keeps SETTING HIM LOOSE!

Footage obtained by the New York Daily News showed police officers carrying the wounded man from a silver SUV and putting him in the back of a black car, which sped off.
The unidentified man is now in the hospital, where police officers said he is conscious and receiving medical attention. His wounds are not considered life-threatening, law enforcement sources told the New York Post.
A five-year-old was also said to have been in the vehicle at the time of the shooting, but was uninjured.
Mamdani called the incident 'unconscionable and incredibly serious' in a post on social media as he announced his plans to get federal agents out of New York City.
'I have called the President; when we speak, I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city,' the mayor said.
'I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities,' he continued. 'Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.'
'Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children,' Mamdani concluded. 'Abolish ICE.'

Edwin Stanton chose to use military courts and get nooses around those assholes quickly, as well as around people less directly involved. It may or may not have been the proper thing to do, but there was a leadership vacuum above him for some reason.
Nidal Hasan on the other hand is a clear-cut case under UCMJ, or should be.

At tonight's debate, Rogers called out El-Sayed for not even acknowledging October 7th on its anniversary.
Abdul's answer was that he "gave people space to grieve" and that Rogers was turning it into political theater.
Rogers fired right back that his whole campaign is political theater. Over 1,200 people were slaughtered by Hamas that day, and a man running for the United States Senate couldn't find the words.

Also, if interested read about the Great Meteor Storm of 1833. That was about the biggest one in recorded history, I think. People thought the world was about to end.
That led to the modern astronomical meteor science.
It's sort of hard to believe, but up until 1803, astronomers and the physicists of the day thought that the idea of "rocks from space" was pure nonsense, the equivalent of Big Foot and UFOs today. A bunch of peasants making shit up. In 1803, the "rocks from space" hypothesis was conclusively confirmed. I forget the details there.
But it wasn't until that Doomsday storm of 1833 that they began to develop the theory of just what these rocks from space really were.

Back in Ancient Greek Homo times, Aristotle decided that meteors were some sort of "vapors" expelled from the earth that combusted in the sky (I don't know if Testicles the Great agreed with this or not).
And yet, even after Newton, that view persisted up until 1803.

The word "meteorology" which means weather today, came from that Ancient Greek Homo theories. "Meteor" basically means "high in the sky".
We had "aqueous meteors", which was water high the sky, rain, snow, hail. Then we had "air meteors". That was wind and tornadoes and storms. The "luminous meteors" which were rainbows and aurora.
The the "fire meteors", which are the rocks from space we know.

For reasons unknown I cracked up at that photo.
I hope he's very dead. I can't remember his name as it's all a blur of keeping them straight. No doubt his nickname was Mo or Ahab.
LOL! I did a search of "hairy terrorist found in a hole in white tee shirt and found this!!!! A company in Turkey used his photo for a hair removal ad and he's at Gitmo:

I agree with both of you guys. So we compromise, we dangle them over sharpened stakes and let the firing squad do target practice trying to hit the rope keeping them suspended above the stakes. If a round or two happens to hit a head or two, well, they have to buy a round of beers for their fellow soldiers.
I am easy to please that way.

Six decades back, with Dad, we'd lie out here at the ol' ranch, staring at the sky and reaping rewards of brief flashes. Big City fifty miles south of us was a lot smaller and darker back then. Smallville ten miles north of us is now as glaring as Big City used to be then. And more neighbors bringing their d@mned city lights out here to our used-to-be rural lives.
Still, it's enjoyable to contemplate the cosmos.

Quick Hits
A supposedly healthy young man, James Talarico, has his campaign putting out the word that he's been missing in action for 11 days due to the flu.
The flu? It takes a 30 year old a week and a half to get over the flu? And he can't even make brief appearances during his long convalescence?Ed MorrisseyTrump says he's hearing "bad rumors." So he's confirming my theory that Talrico is suffering from The AIDS Crazies.
@EdMorrissey As of this morning, Talarico's campaign schedule does not have a single event for the candidate planned before the election. That's not the "flu," that's the "fled."
Ladies and Gentlemen, upon information and belief, James TalaFREAKo, who is running for the United States Senate in Texas, is MISSING IN ACTION! No one has seen him for an extended period of time. Where is he? What is wrong with him? Bad rumors are coming out. He should immediately report to a Debate Stage against Ken Paxton, who is ready, willing, and able, one of the best Attorney Generals in the Country, and will soon be, hopefully, a United States Senator representing the Great People of Texas! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMPTwitchy tells Bari Weiss to get her absurd Democrat operatives under control.
CBS News
@CBSNews The U.S. Senate candidates in Texas could hardly be more different: James Talarico, a former seminarian turned Democratic state lawmaker who speaks in calm cadences about love and empathy, and Ken Paxton, the pugnacious Republican state attorney general who speaks about a refusal to compromise.
ElizaRenae
@eliza_renae Hey @bariweiss the health reporter who wrote this article you're using, Darius Tahir, is an activist stenographer. This language is laughably loaded and biased. Describing Paxton as 'pugnacious' and 'non-compromising' while portraying Talarico as a 'calm' 'seminarian' is preposterous. Talarico is a mouth-foaming radical who is so far out of the mainstream that he would stand out in Portland as a kook. He is creepily obsessed with mutilating and sterilizing other people's children. His economic policies are straight out of the DSA manual, and neither his church nor his seminary affirm the deity or necessity of Christ.
Balls were dropped in the case of the Muslim extremist FlyDubai co-pilot.
Even Israel dropped the ball. Which means that hormone-drenched madwoman Ana Kasparian is about to accuse them of deliberately allowing the poor Muslim to be used as a prop for Mossad propaganda.
A string of security failures across Oman, the UAE and Israel allowed the flydubai co-pilot to get into the cockpit, a Wall Street Journal investigation has found. The lapses nearly led to an aviation disaster reminiscent of 9/11, despite authorities having reasons to be concerned about him. The failures began in Oman, where authorities had scrutinised Hamam al-Hammami's online activity and found he showed too much interest in radical ideology to be trusted as a pilot at state carrier Oman Air. They banned him from flying, sent him to a deradicalisation programme and moved him to a desk job, but did not broadly communicate their concerns about him. Oman flagged him, but the warning did not travel When al-Hammami joined flydubai in February, the airline did not contact Oman to vet his previous experience, the WSJ reported. It conducted a criminal-background check, but the earlier concerns that had led Oman to remove him from flying were not passed on to the new employer. The operator, flydubai, later assigned him to the sensitive Tel Aviv route, which he flew multiple times. Oman's handling of the case also created another missed opportunity. People familiar with the matter said that had the country formally withdrawn al-Hammami's pilot licence over its concerns, the action would likely have been flagged to the UAE. Instead, the concerns about his extremism were not communicated more widely.
... Airline operator flydubai had submitted the manifest for Flight 1073, but Israel's transportation ministry said it did not believe it had the authority or expertise to vet foreign flight crews. The ministry also said it had never asked to access a database created in 2023 to help authorised agencies review passenger and crew information because it did not know the database was operational or that it could use it. There was an even more basic warning that should have stopped al-Hammami from flying to Israel. Pilots from countries such as Oman, which does not have diplomatic relations with Israel, are barred from flying to the country. Yet al-Hammami was allowed onto the Tel Aviv-bound flight.The hordes of Aspiring Doctors and Engineers just keep proving what immense assets they are to America.
The K-8 school River City Science Academy (RSCA) in Jacksonville, Florida, has confirmed to Mazelit's Corner that their after-school teacher who recently went on a viral rant against Jews has now been fired. "The staff member in question is no longer associated with RSCA or any of our campuses" said Laura Palarine, the school's media rep, on Thursday morning. The staff member in question? Miss. Jaden Salameh, a Florida TikToker and now disgraced-teacher -- whose words shocked hundreds of thousands of Jewish netizens when she posted a TikTok video of herself titled "My controversial opinions that are 100% correct." In her video -- which has been viewed nearly half a million times on X alone -- Jaden Salameh argues a litany of antisemitic tropes to her audience on her now-deleted TikTok page. "There's one group of people who own literally everything," the self-described Palestinian woman says, adding that Jews "own the banking system, the White House, the legislative, executive, judicial branch." "We send all of our money to this country," she claimed, adding that Israel was "literally curated out of thin air."Mamdani showed up at an alleged vigil to honor the victims of October 7, whom he essentially said were valid targets due to Israel's occupation of Gaza. Even though he is obviously a strong supporter of terrorist murder and rape, Muslims
heckled him for not being honest enough in his pro-Hamas agitation.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani showed up at a Union Square vigil marking the Oct. 7 massacre, candle in hand, and the people who helped put him in office were waiting outside the barricades to inform him that the revolution does not do thank-you notes.
Not even a little bit. Honestly, he had to know this was going to happen. These crazy pro-Palestinian nutballs flip out if the people they support don't spend every minute hating Israel. It's what they do. These same pro-Palestinian protesters banged drums over the speakers, branded him a traitor and a sellout, and charged the city's first Muslim mayor with genocide for the crime of standing near Israelis who were mourning their dead.
Mamdani is stone-faced as the protesters call him a traitor and sellout. https://t.co/oXducpYsMR

Anti-Mamdani chants at the protest: "Zohran, what do you say? How many kids did you kill today?" "700,000 dead. Mamdani, your hands are red!" "Traitor, traitor, come on out! You sold all your people out!" "Zohran, you can't hide. We charge you with genocide!" Protesters chant: "We don't care about where you're from. You cannot talk about being Muslim anymore. You cannot weaponize being brown anymore. Identity politics can only get you so far." One protester announces: "I used to intern for Zohran Mamdani. He was never working for the people."

Brian Stelter is angry that Trump wants to decide which reporters ask questions. Remember Biden's cheat sheet showing which reporter to call on, showing a picture of the reporter so that he knew her face, showing the correct pronunciation of her name, and spelling out the exact question she agreed to ask? So that Biden could appear to be cogent by offering a pre-rehearsed "answer"? Sex Machine has never even mentioned that.
Yes, we can't have a president choosing which reporters ask him questions now, can we.

We could have had the first female president. Instead, we got a fucking bitch.
Imagine the timeline if Hillary could have continued Obama’s success. Where we could be now. Instead it’s endless wars, boner pills and prediction sites
Imagine if Bernie wasn't hamstrung by his own party and was able to win the primary. Impossible to know for sure, but I believe he would have beaten Trump.
I'd have been surprised if they didn't pick Paxton. Cornyn was a guy who kept his head down and got the work done, always careful to toe the party line.
Paxton has been icy-hot stunting in the news for years now with his endless culture-war bullshit, full-on criminal behavior and enough scandals to fill several of those full-size HEB shopping carts.
MAGA sees the latter as someone who's doing important things, an underdog who cares about what they care about being unfairly attacked and slandered by the liberal media because he's fighting so loudly for the cause.

Could I launch drones to run up and down the length of Gaza every day, and sell the footage to the Israelis? Could I get Musk to loan me a boring machine to ensure no tunnels went anywhere near my land without being filled in with concrete?

The videos are INSANE> The boy is a literal DEMON. A white lady counselor is controling him by cradling him in her arms and asking if he shot injured by the backfire, and he replies, "Fuck you white bitch! Fuck you!" and points in her face. When the cop crouches down to confirt him, the kid tried to linge at him and yells "You want a piece of me, bitch? No? Pussy!" etc. Goes on like that for several minutes.
Zero remorse, zero shame, zero guilt. He acts like a wolverine on meth, lashing out violent at all white people within eyesight. It's quite obvious that if he still had the gun in hand, he'd shoot them all.
The kid is now nine years old. Lord known how many people he'll kill by the time he hits 13.

I once heard a story of a CEO's personal assistant DEMANDING a new, high end phone. The group looked at her use case and employment level and denied her. She then went into the stairwell and kicked the phone down several flights of stairs. Soon she made a new request for a high end phone, citing her broken phone as the reason for her need. The group then provided the CEO with the camera footage from inside the stairwell. The personal assistant got a much older, much crappier phone than the one she destroyed.

Shigella is a bacterial infection causing severe diarrhea. Shigella is primarily spread by men who have sex with men. CDC data shows there is an extremely drug-resistant strain that was almost unheard of in 2011. In 2023 there were about 22,000 lab confirmed cases.

Considering what the Turks did to him and his family members as a yute plus corrupting a lot of his supposed countrymen, that is what made him.
Andrew Jackson was the same way from his treatment as a yute in the Revolutionary War
"Andrew Jackson served in the American Revolutionary War as a teenager, making him the last U.S. President to participate in the conflict and the only one who was a prisoner of war. Enlisting at age 13 as a courier for the Patriot militia, he participated in the Battle of Hanging Rock in August 1780 alongside his brothers Hugh and Robert.
His service was marked by tragedy and brutality; after being captured by the British in 1781, he refused to polish a British officer's boots and was slashed with a sword, leaving permanent scars on his head and hand. During his imprisonment, he and his brother contracted smallpox, and upon release, he found that his brother Robert had died, followed shortly by their mother Elizabeth, leaving Jackson an orphan at age 14.

on President Trump enrolling 70 MILLION American children in tax-advantaged investment accounts: "This is an unbelievable program. 70 million enrolled. We will have 25 million by this weekend funded. Think about that. 25 million from the federal government, from Susan and Michael Dell, from Brad Gerstner, from family and friends, and our expectation is to drive the 70 million before the year is out.""

This is what I pray for my own mother (95) for the past year. She's only been a bit puny for a couple of weeks and now has sitters with her. She's not dying of anything at this point and still walks with a walker. However, when her mother was at the same age and got sick she was gone in a month.
Prayers for your strength and peace, publius.

He has the flu and is a type 1 diabetic, those two things do not go well together so I understand. I’m t1 diabetic and last time I got the flu I ended up in the ICU. His team says he’ll be back this weekend though.
meanwhile Tom Kean in NJ disappears for months with radio silence, comes back and cites vague medical issues, then votes to cut medical benefits.
Couldn’t even get the guy to come visit a factory in town before the tariffs shut it down, lmao. Tom Kean Jr. is a worthless piece of shit. He should’ve been aborted.
Paxton won’t even debate him and can’t answer any questions about his record without running away but yeah Talarico being sick with the flu is way worse
Did not take CNN long to become right wing propaganda. Paxton has ran possibly the laziest campaign I've ever seen, but we're just going to make shit up about Talarico I guess.

France Races Towards a Debt Crisis as the Nation Continues to be Besieged by Violent Foreigners Demanding to be Paid for Peace
Before getting to that, let me offer a completely-unrelated bit of history. Via Google AI:
Danegeld was a tax raised in Anglo-Saxon England and Francia from the 9th to the 11th centuries to pay tribute or protection money to Viking raiders to stop them from ravaging the land. Key Historical Facts • Meaning: The word comes from Old English, literally translating to "Dane payment" or "Dane yield". • Early Tribute vs. Army Tax: Originally known as gafol when paid directly to Vikings as bribes, it later evolved into a kingdom-wide land tax called heregeld (army tax) used to fund a standing defensive force or pay mercenary armies. • King Æthelred the Unready: The practice became most prominent during the reign of King Æthelred II (978--1016), who paid massive quantities of silver pennies (such as £10,000 in 991 CE and up to £48,000 in 1012 CE) to buy off invadersWith that irrelevant, off-topic mention of large bribes paid to violent invaders to not loot and pillage and kill them, let's turn to a completely different subject. France's, uh, guests are demanding, supposedly, more "resources" for schools. This demand comes at a very bad time. Because France's dysfunctional government is made up of alleged "centrists" and even some "conservatives" in a coalition with socialists and communists, no one can agree on a budget. So they just keep borrowing money, growing the deficit more and more. You can only borrow freely until the markets begin to doubt you can ever repay your debts. And then the cost of borrowing rises, and you have to borrow more and more at higher and higher interest rates until it becomes impossible to repay the debt and then people stop lending you money completely, and your finances collapse. France is now in this doom-loop of increasing debt and compounding interest on the debt.
For most of the past decade, lending money to France was considered almost as safe as lending money to Germany. That belief is now breaking down, and it is happening fast. Last week, investors demanded up to 5% a year to lend to the French government for 10 years. France had not faced borrowing costs that high on its 10-year bonds since July 2002. The extra return investors want to hold French debt instead of German debt rose to its highest level since the eurozone debt crisis of 2011-2012. France now pays more to borrow than Italy and Greece, two countries that sat at the centre of that crisis. This matters well beyond the bond market. Government borrowing costs influence the rates on mortgages and business loans and the interest bill that every French taxpayer ends up covering. ... Beyond the rise in France's 10-year bond yield to 5%, its widening gap with Germany shows investors are increasingly concerned about French debt. Its premium over Germany's equivalent Bund reached 152 basis points, or 1.52 percentage points, returning to levels associated with the 2011 eurozone crisis. Intesa Sanpaolo strategists, led by Gian Marco Salcioli, argue that the speed of the move matters more than its level. When yields jump this fast, they say, the fear shifts from the price of borrowing to the risk of not being repaid in full, and France is the clearest example. "The move tends to transform rate risk into something broader, first and foremost credit risk," Salcioli said in a note to clients. Díaz-Alvarez said this was "the largest weekly widening in said spread in seventeen years."
Politico 4 Kidz, Axios:
Meanwhile, the foreign guests continue ravaging the countryside while demanding the peasants pay them more money in exchange for a few months of pillage-free "peace."
France is dealing with a major debt crisis and social unrest ahead of its presidential election next year. Why it matters: Worries are rising about contagion in Europe and beyond, and the situation is drawing comparisons with the sovereign debt crisis that rocked the European Union in the 2010s. "Government bond yields in France are spiraling out of control. Contagion to the rest of high-debt Europe is unfolding rapidly," Brookings' Robin Brooks wrote recently. Where it stands: Yields on government debt are rising across Europe and in the U.S., but the situation in France is worse. Investors are demanding higher yields to hold French debt, compared with bonds from Germany, which are seen as a safer alternative.
On Friday, the difference, or spread, between the two countries' bond yields, was the widest it has been since the debt crisis. The spread is widening due to "higher sovereign default risk in France," Macquarie's Thierry Wizman wrote in a note Thursday titled: "Are the French Toast?"

The majority of these people causing chaos across France don't appear to be students.
Smashing up cities, cutting down trees and destroying public property is not protesting. You're destroying the very communities you live in, leaving ordinary people to pick up the pieces and pay the price. Watching this unfold across Europe, it's becoming increasingly difficult to shake the feeling that Europe's decline is inevitable. https://t.co/YshGOIEyYV— Ben Graham (@BenGrahamUK) October 8, 2026
The problem looming over these riots is that France has a large population of young people who are immigrants or the children/grandchildren of immigrants that are simply not employable. They will not work and employers will not risk hiring them.
They are not citizens in any meaningful sense, but an unassimilated third world horde, unemployable and ultimately ungovernable.— John Daniel Davidson (@johnddavidson) October 5, 2026

There is a second example from British history even older than the Dane Geld. As Rome started dying off in the West the central government cut of Britain, told them to work out their issue of raiders and pirates on their own because they could not - they were basically working on the south coasts of France and Spain and Italy proper. This was somewhere in the 410s AD.
So the British locals called up some Saxon tribesmen to defend their shores from the pirates and raiders, which worked for a while. Then after a bit of looking around at the situation, with Saxons being the sole military around, they started taking over the part of England in the South and next to the channel. Kent, Isle of Wight, all that area. And the other Angles and such followed them in.

Not really, reserve currencies are different. It is more that debt financing gets much worse the more it is external to the state. In an ideal world, the currency can depreciate, making the country produce cheaper goods and consume less imported ones, but stuck in the Eurozone, France cannot resort to that.
FWIW, both Japan and China have debts of over 300 percent of GDP. But in both cases, internally financed mostly, not external.

I would phrase it put off the crisis rather than talking their way out of it. There are tactics that a large debtor can use that smaller ones cannot. And that applies to countries too--too big to fail means that the other countries in the Eurozone are forced to do things like require payins by those with savings and liquid assets to prop up the currency. Works in the short run but destroys trust in the long run just like formal defaults or allowing massive inflation as a soft default does.

This is not an edgy or controversial statement. Muslims, and particularly Arabs, are a bunch of straight-up mental defectives. Everyone who's ever observed them in the wild knows this.
The fact that this guy says this and it seems controversial means that propaganda has overridden all reasoning.

I lived through the early 80's and that particular claim is simply not true.

The Germans had a huge crisis with mortgage fraud but instead of what we did by letting some banks fail and jailing a few peeps, they papered it over and hid the fact that their actual assets are fraudulent. This makes them desperate to hang on to the actual assets too, like the Belgian banks clinging to the 300 billion Russian money they froze years ago. The EU wants to steal it, the banks need to keep it to save the house of cards for the moment.

Sorry but that ain't ever gonna happen. In less than 5 years social security goes "bankrupt" and every single person drawing a SS check will have to take at least a 10% haircut and those people vote in huge numbers. The only way to avoid that is to increase deficit spending even more which is what will happen.
Realistic projections have SS, medicare/medicaid and interest on the debt consuming 100% of all federal tax revenues before 2032 with that growth at least doubling every 10 years.

They collaborated to remove Orban because he was blocking the EU from issuing bonds bearing interest based on the frozen Russian assets.
If I was a US international company, I would be wary of this shit myself. They already, in the case of Cyprus, basically took money from depositors in those banks (often Russian) to 'bail in' the bank from losses from imprudent lending. Been floated around as a general rule for money kept in the EU by savers to temporarily save the EU from financial crises.

Germany is looking at de-industrialization, France is looking at a bond and financial crisis, and Italy has PM Meloni talking to the US about a bilateral trade agreement. The Euro does not have sufficient value in it to support it as a straight fiat currency, and there really is not enough ability to satisfy anyone that the Euro based bonds are worth taking a risk on since there may not be any ability to pay them back except in inflationary Euros maybe. No matter how much everyone likes using Euros for foreign exchange, it is looking risky to hold those .
the bad news is that they hold a lot of US Treasuries and bonds, and will probably start dumping them for things like buying diesel, so the Treasury auctions will be depressed which will look like an economic failure. The good news is that the Treasury will be buying them back at a discount, possibly wiping out US debt.
Maybe if France defaults, this time we can ask them to occupy Iran for us.

Stealing Russian assets and trying to liquidate them was a blunder, because plenty of people abroad who stash money in foreign banks for a "rainy day" at home suddenly found out the EU could pull out the carpet on them. So these kind of accounts started leaving for safer shores.
But the problem behind the problem is that EU-socialism was always robbing Peter to save Paul, making your system weaker over time. What happens when Peter and Paul are both equally sickly? What happens when you have a hundred administrators managing Peter to Paul payments instead of one?

And Britain might be even worse. Their government has seemingly and largely behaved as proxies for most street violence. They just skipped over street action and said, "Don't trouble yourselves, Mob. We'll take care of this."

I am used to a far higher level of insults when I submitted papers for peer review or at conferences. I don't get riled much about it.
But simply most of the macroeconomics I learned including Chicago and Vienna schools as well as Keynesian and Marxist, are not borne out in reality. Microeconomics is pretty much a science which relies on price as its key foundation. Macro depends on what assumptions you make about what is good, bad, etc. and then you see the real world makes a pig's breakfast over assertions from a model because your model is underspecified (doesn't include all relevant variables). Tariffs are a perfect example. Taxes are another, so is borrowing, GDP, national debt, inflation, etc.
We can find little truths but there is no big truth that we can trust even analyzing a domestic economy; it gets far worse when we bring in a multiplicity of other foreign actors into the equation.
So no, simple thoughts don't make for reality.

Social welfare bought votes, bought participation, and was always a ready source of corruption. One of the things Milei has done is push the price of social services back onto the provincial governments when he couldn't cut them completely, and this makes counting centavos important. I believe that Minister of Public Security Patricia Bullrich is also quite focused on stomping out corruption. This was not focused on last time, and it is why they had to drop the peg

Milei also seeded the ideas of it by talking publicly about the economics for near on 20 years, and the Argentines had gone through so many economic cycles they were tired of them. Argentina has not had a 30 year bond go through to maturity since 1890, and they were facing a hyperinflation again. It helps that he is an outsider and gathered a very talented team to be his cabinet. I have no idea if there is that level of talent in any EU state anymore.

Cornell Sexual Assault Survivor: This Whore Sodomized Me While I Was Too Drunk to Consent
By "sodomized," he means she gave him a blow-jay while he was drunk and passing in and out of sleep. Therefore, by the credibly-accused rapist's own argument, he was unable to consent to such an act and she raped him by mouth.
And this is not a sex act you can force on someone except through actual force -- holding a knife to their neck, for example. Which is not what she claims happened. She claims she had just been too drunk to give "real" consent. And oral sodomy is an act, I'm told, which requires considerable effort and seems unlikely to be performed by someone too drunk to even form the mental state of consent. Why is there no justice for this sexual assault survivor?'Cornell 7' frat bro claimed accuser 'sodomized' him and that school didn't care he was sex-assault 'survivor:' report The frat brother at the center of the "Cornell 7" gang-rape allegations claimed to campus officials that the accuser "sodomized" him -- and complained nobody cared he was a sex-assault "survivor," an explosive new report says. ... Ingalls -- the Chi Phi brother who the accuser said sparked her alleged 2024 gang rape -- wrote to campus officials in a seething email that the Ivy League school was guilty of "gender discrimination" and "entrapment" as it conducted its investigation into him and six of his fraternity brothers over the alleged horror. "You received information that I was sodomized by her while I was incapacitated back in November, and you never once thought to alert me of my rights under these procedures as a survivor of this assault?" Ingalls said in the February 2025 missive to Cornell's Title IX office and obtained by ABC. "The very fact that I had to bring this to your attention now in February confirms my worst fears: that this process is rolled [sic] with gender discrimination," he said. The email came three months after the woman, only identified as Jane Doe in her civil lawsuit involving the allegations, accused Ingalls of inviting her to his frat house and plying her with drugs and alcohol, then propositioning her for a three-way that quickly escalated into rounds of fraternity brothers stopping into the room to join in on the sex. Doe insisted she was too intoxicated to consent and called the incident rape -- something she also told Campus police in 2024, about three weeks after the alleged attack. But Ingalls was also drinking and drugging heavily that night -- with a 2024 statement from Doe describing how he kept falling asleep during the encounter before waking up to rejoin the alleged assault. After Doe made rape claims against him, Ingalls tried to frame his own intoxication to suggest that he was the victim that night, Cornell investigative documents showed.I mean, why isn't he? Heather MacDonald wants to know why, if there is a fraternity house rape crisis, do women keep going to fraternity houses? It's as if they know this whole "crisis" is made-up ideological horseshit.
Wow: New text drops showing "Jane Doe" was a willing participant in the orgy and was critical of those who thought she was a slut. She says she's catching a lot of "heat" from "the Phi Phi girls" -- sorority girls were calling her a slut. "I don't think we should feel any shame... our body our choice." And so, the accusations began, almost a month after the event.
"Believe survivors," the campus activists and leftist politicians admonish us. But which "survivor" statements are we supposed to believe? In the weeks following her alleged gang rape at a Cornell University frat house in 2024, "Jane Doe" was unequivocal: She had not been raped. A day after the incident, she texted one of her sex partners, saying "non (sic) of the sexual stuff was illegal and honestly I really liked being with u" -- and she suggested another get-together. The next day she texted him again, including an affectionate note: "I luv you king." She angled herself an invitation to the annual Halloween party at the frat where she was allegedly raped. Up to that point, Doe's statements and her behavior had been consistent: She considered herself a voluntary participant in group sex, after she'd deliberately downed 10 shots of alcohol. After the alleged assault she solicited further contact with her rapists, considered them her friends and sought to revisit the crime scene for more partying. For an actual rape victim, such behavior is inconceivable. But the rumor mill was circulating: Jane Doe's sorority mentor told her that people were shaming her as a "slut." The frat's president disinvited her from the party "for her own good." Doe was furious. That's when she played the assault card, nearly a month after the incident. Yet the campus rape industry cannot tolerate Doe's earlier honest self-evaluation. If females take full responsibility for their own behavior, the lucrative, bureaucracy-bloated grift will come crashing down. So the college assault complex has a surefire method for erasing such moments of clarity: Don't believe those "survivor" statements. Females are only credible as purported victims. As NPR put it last week, a victim's initial statements "often cannot be taken at face value" because they are the product of her "trauma." That means the only statements from a "survivor" that can be believed are statements claiming that she has been raped. College rape allegations, in other words, are unfalsifiable: Heads the campus rape complex wins, tails the truth loses. In fact, the seminal surveys of campus rape that jump-started the assault complex depended on this double standard. Go back to the 1987 study that produced the fantastical statistic that up to one in four co-eds will be sexually assaulted in college. To generate that finding, academic rape researchers did not ask "survivors" outright if they had been raped -- because doing so yielded disappointing results. Rather, the researchers decided whether or not an alleged victim had been raped, based on her description of her (overwhelmingly consensual) sexual encounters. When asked directly, 73% of the survey respondents whom the academics classified as victims said they had not been raped at all. The academics chose not to believe them. Even more damningly for the reliability of this research, 42% of the college women whom the researchers classified as sexual-assault victims went back for more sex with their putative assailants. Again, inconceivable behavior after being subjected to the second worst crime, after murder, a female can experience. Subsequent feminist rape studies have repeated this same discrepancy between the researchers' results and the subjects' own views.
This is a real rape victim you guys.
New text: Two days after the alleged gang rape, head alleged gang rapist tells Jane Doe she's an "amazing person" and he and the other guys are trying to stop the nasty gossip that's been circulating. She replies: "I don't think we should feel any shame... our body our choice" https://t.co/lQJjqo6hPk

By "sodomized," he means she gave him a blow-jay while he was drunk and passing in and out of sleep. Therefore, by the credibly-accused rapist's own argument, he was unable to consent to such an act and she raped him by mouth.

Saw in UK DM that someone swatted her parent's house (where I guess she's living). She probably made the phone call.
When I moved West I lived in a basement apt near campus (with 2 apt mates who were psych grad students I didn't know as arranged by the landlady). This house was basically down the street from some frat houses.
I'd be walking home from campus, about a mile, and walked in the street at times if there were frat brothers on porches. Some asking me in for a beer. I'd shake my head no and keep walking. It was as easy as that as I was no fool, even then. Naive country girl but not stupid. Why would I? There was beer in our apt and two guys (and their gf's) who were typically there when I got out of class and work.
From her text alone she was not ashamed, like a normal girl with values would be. She willingly participated and took their drugs.
I was an idiot at times in college, with a team of Guardian Angels taking turns watching over me. I was lucky but I also had morals and was not a ho. I also felt somehow my parents would find out if I was bad on top of God knowing. I was a good girl who still managed to have a lot of fun.
She is not a good girl.

@mtracey
Jane Doe lawyer Thomas Giuffra was already notorious for not doing basic due diligence to check stuff in his sensational rape-alleging lawsuits. Now he's got a random Marine he tried to serve, because he happens to have the same name as a defendant, begging the Court for relief
So basically if you happen to have the name "Matt Ingalls" and you weren't anywhere near the place, you STILL got your name dragged through the mud.
I'm just happy they didn't subpoena Laura Ingalls [Wilder] too.

Rape is also relatively rare, and almost nonexistent in college.
But the threat of rape is always kept in mind by women, because women are typically not able to defend themselves against a larger and more determined aggressor. So, carry. There is a lot of serenity in knowing the playing field is level.

Never make admissions until your attorney tells you to do so is the rule in criminal law. Always let your attorney do any communication because it prevents it from being used against the defendant in court.
Somewhat true in civil as well. People get into trouble all the time by not keeping their mouth shut in legal affairs.

$50k? On what planet?
For an undergraduate student, the estimated total cost of attendance at Cornell University for the 2026–2027 academic year is $99,734 per year for out-of-state students. However, because Cornell operates several state-contracted colleges, the price drops to $75,604 per year if you are a New York State resident enrolled in one of those specific programs.

Animal House was based on the ZBTs at Washington University, where Harold Ramis lived. They got their asses kicked off campus during his tenure there, mostly for the same excesses shown in the movie. They didn't go far, just a couple of blocks off campus, and as far as I know they are still there. But when I was at Wash U I didn't go anywhere near frat row. For one thing, architecture students have no time for that sort of nonsense, and for another, all the frats had hideous reputations. No thanks.

A few years ago I read an article by some upper middle class leftist hausfrau who had become a Satanist because she was mad at Trump in...The Atlantic?
Anyway she mentioned they don't really worship Satan because the chief Priest of Satan had told her so at the Satan Temple. And if you can't trust the chief Priest of Satan telling you something in the Satanic Temple while you pledge your loyalty to Satan I mean really who can you trust?

I was walking home from a friend's apt two miles away and goosed by a frat guy as I went up some stairs on the sidewalk. I immediately screamed,"You bastard" (I rarely cussed) and tried to hit him, and ran after him with the cast iron Dutch oven lid I was carrying. I have to assume my friend was coming that weekend to cook chili, and their car was broken as I didn't normally carry this lid. And, yes, I know I have told this before.
My male apt mates were enraged and made me call the police. A cop came and took the report. I hope I didn't mention the Dutch oven lid or it was probably like the Pittsburgh Scanner report to other cops.
I seriously would have beat the guy in the head with that lid and done some damage if I caught and tackled him. My weapon of choice slowed me down as I ran after him for about 20yds and then walked home po'd. This was by the park near our house at dusk.
This is how I dealt with frat boys.

NBC: Bernadette Greene-Placentia, 52, an Arizona congressional candidate says she was raped and thinks it may have been a politically motivated attack...The Democrat congressional candidate said she was raped in August while out fixing campaign signs along a road in the Phoenix metropolitan area at 2 am.
Oh. That's terrible. Especially at 2 AM, when is completely dark out, and nobody's around - clearly, the hatred and chaos that Donald Trump has caused in this country has made it unsafe for a middle-aged woman to be out in the middle of the night allegedly fixing campaign by herself. My jaw hurts.
While being "raped" Democrat candidate Greene-Placentia distinctly remembers hearing one of the her rapists say "Democrat bitch." I can only imagine the convenient horror. Thankfully the rapists didn't bring up her poll numbers.

Because you aren't allowed to "question a victim"
So normally people look at this case and say...oh she did it voluntarily, told the guys she liked it and...wanted to do it again? That's not rape.
Whereas for leftists it just stops at "a woman claims a group of frat boys raped her"

Know who I saw report rapes for the most part?
Mothers and/or fathers dragging their teenager(s) to a hospital.
Mothers who were raped when their children were present nearby.
Facilities for specific needs adults who weren't certain if a rape or assault took place because the language or description was so unclear.

My daughter had a great job in Chicago. In broad daylight walking home from work she was drug into an alley and raped. Broad daylight on a busy street. No one came to her aid. Of course the rapist was never located.
She has never been right since the being raped.

Just another case of unintended consequences that a moment's logical thought would have countered.
No lawsuit could restore her reputation at Cornell, even if she won it. She can't sue the whisperers behind her back.
But she found some lawyers who were willing to chase a payout, but the money won't shut up the people whispering either.
The time for a little bit of thinking was when her crush wanted to share her at the frat house and she agreed.

Unless Cornell self insures, their insurance company(s) will make that call. They often force their side to settle or make the school risk its own money. Oberlin ended up having to sue its four insurance companies after they lost the Gibson bakery case by pigheadedly doubling down in public making it worse for the school. Ended up in a settlement of course.

They were dragged into the mud by the plaintiff unwillingly and like the Duke Lacrosse team, will have to prove their innocence while not even being around when the events occurred.

Reason it came up now is obviously an op to activate the AWFL brigade for the fall elections.
Basically to be in a frat (or a sorority) means being in the cross hairs of college administrators and wokists. And they intend collective punishment for whatever sins of the few did so they can maximize scalp taking. Thus the guys being leaked as recipients on the group text sent out by the black orgy bro.

One girl son, casanova, met in summer school:
Greek chick. During movie season of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding." She fancied a non-Greek blonde dude & he fit the part.
He told me that she was coming over to study for a physics exam while we were at work. I was in the ED and got a call that she had "fainted." He explained it all to me and when he dialed 91 of 911 she woke. He'd given her OJ and, like Rhett in Gone With the Wind, carried her to HIS BED. Then called his friend a block away to follow him as he drove her car home (she refused the ED, probably because I was there).
I questioned him later and said, she didn't faint (you big dummy!). She never got sweaty or pale. Fell dramatically back onto the sofa gracefully vs a done fall out.
He went with her to the MD the next day where she fake fainted again with blood tests.
She went to UF to stalk him that fall. Came to his apt one day and tried the old faint thing again. He told her he wasn't falling for that and to go back to her apt. I told him to never let her in again! She's the type who would call Title IX.
I did not raise fools.

Every woman knows multiple women who say they were raped.
Yet almost no man knows rapist, or a man convicted of rape.
The closest I know is my HS chemistry teacher getting caught making some exothermic reactions in a hotel room with a 17 year old female student.
So he got 3 years for statutory rape.

Even though Jane chose to take it, giving someone that veterinary sedative (very useful for animal surgery because it does not affect lung and heart function but the horse or dog wont try to bite your hand off IIRC) and then having group sex with them really was a bad thing to do.
I said a few days ago I was on board with the two Cornell expulsions at the time of the college investigation if it was for getting the ketamine and bringing it to that party. Even for that dude or dudes I don't think there should be any legal consequences now at this late date, but the process is the punishment, all 7 will have to spend $$$ on lawyers and lose months out of their lives, and all so that Tish James and friends can say they are the party of protecting women.

The hazing involved in "Operation Drugs Unlimited" was an unprecedented, highly organized forced labor system where fraternity pledges were required to act as an assembly line to process, cut, and package bulk cocaine. Rather than standard college hazing rituals involving drinking challenges, senior fraternity members used the pledge system and Greek life's strict code of silence as an indoctrination mechanism to fuel a massive, campus-wide drug ring.
Pennsylvania authorities charged 14 people in connection with a major campus-wide cocaine trafficking ring dubbed "Operation Drugs Unlimited," which operated out of the Delta Upsilon and Sigma Chi fraternities.
The individuals held or charged include the alleged student ringleaders, several fraternity members, and one student's father who attempted to hide evidence.
Got quiet so quickly.

She did have dinner with us once and seemed very odd with either an eating disorder or we gave her one that night. A mousey type girl and not his type.
He dated a LOT of girls in HS and college, but she wasn't one.
She wanted to date him and he'd probably have had to marry her after the first date. She told him a story of how her father, a commercial airline pilot, expected her to only date Greek boys. Ok!
I expressed how I felt with her that summer and he is a nice guy. Who didn't listen to my warnings but did believe me when I said she's not fainting. I said this while laughing, which sort of ticked him off at the time.
He called me after she stalked him to his apartment months later. I am close to both sons and while they feared me they knew I loved them.
I should have called Title IX on her attempts to entrap him, but didn't think of it at the time and just told him to steer very clear of her.
He's now married to a normal young woman after a traumatic 5yrs with a redhead I later wanted to murder.
It's all good.

Citing Microsoft's Practice of Laying Off American Workers and Replacing Them With H-1B "Indentured Servants," Trump Suspends Microsoft's Ability to Use the Green Card Program
Should have been done long ago. Hit Disney next. The terrorist-aligned AP is sad.Thank you for that completely irrelevant Democrat party attack line in the middle of the article, AP.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Donald Trump's administration is suspending tech giant Microsoft from a program to apply for green cards for workers who come to the U.S. to live and work using H-1B visas as it accuses the company of fraud. Supporters of the Republican president have long argued that various programs like the one Vice President JD Vance accused Microsoft of abusing essentially empower American companies to recruit foreign workers for jobs that end up undercutting Americans. In a wide-ranging announcement Thursday, Vance and other top administration officials also called out universities over their use of J-1 visas for international students and information technology outsourcing firms. The announcement came hours before Trump was scheduled to award the National Medal of Technology and Innovation to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, part of an event at which he is granting some of the nation's most prestigious science and technology awards to his tech billionaire allies.
Um, the "system" he's referring to includes fraudulently "advertising" for positions where the advertisement is intended to never be seen. So your attempt to "correct the record" with another Democrat party attack line fails. Now for some more Democrat-Corporate Party messaging:
Vance said the program from which Microsoft is being suspended requires companies to advertise jobs in America before applying to the Department of Labor to show they need to give a foreign worker a green card because of a lack of American workers. "They'll put an advertisement in a small-town newspaper. They'll go out there and say that 'We have advertised for a position with our company, and nobody is responding to it.' And they will use that lack of response to then go and replace American workers with what is effectively foreign indentured servants," Vance said. "There has been no company in the United States, unfortunately, that has used this system more than Microsoft."
Microsoft is No. 5 among U.S. employers when it comes to using H-1B visas, according data from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Amazon is No. 1.
... Doug Rand, a former senior adviser at USCIS during the Biden administration, called Vance's announcement "incoherent." "If the Trump administration were truly concerned that H-1B workers are 'indentured servants,' then the last thing they would do is block companies from helping their own H-1B workers get green cards," he said. "Once you have a green card, you're no longer dependent on your employer for your immigration status -- you're a permanent resident who can change jobs and negotiate higher wages without fear."These are just the figures for a single year:
Vance said Microsoft last year laid off 6,000 American workers but also obtained 6,300 H-1B visas and almost 3,000 green cards. "If you do the math, for every worker that Microsoft laid off, they replaced that worker with one and a half foreign indentured servants," Vance said in a White House news conference announcing the decision. "Our message to Microsoft is: You're a great American company, but you've got to hire great American workers." ... The H-1B program has long been a target of Trump supporters who say that the program undercuts American workers and is rife with abuse. H-1B visas are meant for high-skilled jobs that are difficult to find American workers to fill. Technology companies are the biggest users, with nearly three-quarters of approvals going to workers from India.Trump also moved to punish so-called universities for abusing the system. Foreigners come over to study at universities and work at jobs during and after their study. Trump wants colleges to pay $70,000 per student to cover the costs to the government of this pain in the ass.
And also, cut down on abuse -- I imagine that many foreigners are coming just to take a couple of credits per semester, using the program as a backdoor to scam what is effectively another H-1B visa.

Weird thing about Disney (especially in their Animated department) is that their most egregious acts weren't related to H1B1's. It was more a DEI path.
There's a great documentary out there that has probably been banned off the usual platforms where they show the difference between the "masters of animated features" and the people the brought in to replace them.
Disney terminated their most talented and decorated animators and brought into young, liberal (just out of school) kids to do their animation features...and you can see the difference in quality, message, and entertainment. Disney used to be the gold standard on this genre. Now, it's amateurish crap.

There is a shortage of these workers because the pipeline takes 10 years to fill, maybe more. Suppress wages today with H1bs, and you guarantee that there will be a shortage in 10 years.
This is basic economics. They all understand this. End H1bs.

They briefly had the undisputed leadership position circa 2012, too. Pixar was still making good movies and John Lasseter was in charge of Disney animation, which got them Wreck-It Ralph and Frozen. That made a lot of ugly women at Disney very angry so they got rid of him and made all of the movies be about fat lesbians. They had Peak Woke 5 years before the rest of the world, which is not an innovation to brag about.

When an employer buys himself an indentured servant through the H1B slave trade, the H1B has an immediate upgrade from whatever shithole they came from to an advanced formerly high-trust society.
Then Microsoft expects that we spend a quarter million dollars for each of their Anchor Babies' K-12 education. That we grant them to bring over their village and put their parents on to our welfare system, that we subsidize the use of our parks, roads, courts; that we pay for their security, their medical bills, all in exchange that our culture is degraded, replaced and marginalized.
And what Microsoft gets is a crappier product that drives people to use Linux.

The education visa is the golden ticket because that visa makes the employee exempt from the employer's contribution to FICA. Built right in is a 15% advantage over an American citizen.
H1Bs, OTOH, do pay into FICA and unless there is a special agreement, that money is never realized unless they end up as US citizens by getting that foothold and a household full of anchor babies and their parents.

DH's company hired some SA draftsmen because they couldn't find anyone here to do the work. So many people left AK during covid and didn't come back, so it is tricky finding workers.

There was NEVER a shortage of engineers. The entire premise behind the H1B is, was, and always will be, a LIE. It was only ever about importing cheap labor, and on the Indian side it was about waging economic warfare against us by sending American money back to India in the form of remittances. Something like 12% of India's GDP is foreign remittances. These Indians are loyal to Modi, loyal to India, and engage in racist, nepotistic hiring practices to hire more and more indians and send more and more remittances back to India.
And here's the other fact: 95% of Indian "Engineers" can't even code. Not even with the help of AI - and this is why every major corporate software has gotten markedly WORSE over the last 20 years (while open source software has gotten markedly BETTER in that time) - because these Indian "engineers" can't code.
In short: FUCK INDIA. End the H1B and Deport them all. Don't even make them train their American replacements because they can't do the job anyways.
And kudos to the Trump Admin for hitting Microsoft and Adobe. Now hit Amazon and Google next.

Disney did it in 2015. Mass firing of US employees that were required to train their foreign replacements for any severance pay.
From Brave AI.
In 2015, Disney laid off approximately 250 IT workers at Walt Disney World and replaced them with foreign employees hired on H-1B visas through outsourcing firms like HCL America and Cognizant Technology Solutions.

It bothers me when people say outsourced when they mean offshored. Outsourcing just means outside the company. If you hire a team from the company across the street, that's outsourcing. Offshoring is hiring a company from outside the country.

Like I said, I have never seen it work. The product is always shit. Maybe things are different in finance or desktop apps, but in the companies I have worked for the results were very bad.
I have seen IT support outsourced, so you call over to india to find out why your document won't open, but that's just customer service. Not programming. And that is very forgiving as if it takes the customer twice as long to get the right answer, no one notices.

That, pretty much, effects every type of VISA handed out by consular offices. H1-B1's , Student VISA's, Temp. Work VISA's. etc. They falsify and create diplomas, work experience, credentials, law degrees, medical degrees, tech degrees....etc.
Domestically, when India's top law office requested a vetting of all practicing lawyers in India to address this problem, over 40% of lawyers (practicing law in India) refused to be vetted. That should tell you the size of the issue.

I would not be surprised it was done at the behest of Musk because of the direct competition of CoPilot and Grok.
Did Microsoft forget to give Tom Homan his bag of $50,000?
Gotta remember those bribes are annual bribes. You'd think Microsoft would know how the subscription payment model works.
If there are no fraud lawsuits or criminal cases, I think it should be illegal to claim fraud but show zero evidence, CMV. Pretty sure that Microsoft has better lawyers than the feds these days.
I would blame incompetence for them taking 2 years to figure this out, but it’s probably just corruption. Also the timing just before the election makes it even more suspect. Doesn’t change it from being a good thing, but now do the rest of the tech industry.
100%. Oracle, Amazon, Facebook, Google, all of Musk's companies, etc. Selective enforcement is bad, even if if the enforcement of targeted companies is not.

They decided to send one of our advanced machines there and let the Indian team handle setting it up.
They kept giving updates that were good...a little too good.
So the Project Manager asked them, then demanded they, send a picture of the machine in the room setup for them...he got a picture of an empty room.
Now this wasn't them screwing up or stealing...the machine was actually stuck in customs outside of their control. They figured though they would get in trouble if they told the truth so they lied hoping they could keep the PM stalled until they actually got the machine.

Met with the First Daughter's attorney today. He went to her arraignment and learned the charges, then met with the DA to discuss a plea deal.
They've offered 18 months deferred adjudication, $750 in fines, court costs, 60 hours community service, some class requirements and that stupid ignition blocker in her car (at $300 a MONTH) for 9 months.
He will try to negotiate that down from there.

Its a lot more complicated than that. For example, during the cheap money low interest days, Big Tech was a casino where for very little money you can do all kinds of stupid things and hire staff at large money. There were many companies that should have never been started because the business model was very pie in the sky. That created an artificial demand for tech talent. Artificial in the sense that after mountains of code were written, the company would fail due to no clients or no real income stream and the investors getting tired of pumping in round after round of money.
So with expensive money, that demand for warm bodies has diminished. The "need" for H1Bs has dropped, but also the demand for workers too.

Best part is they can't leave it unresponded to. Because they don't want him getting his own naked message out. But in doing so they are forced to amplify his message.
And because he called them fake news from the start, and they made it clear they were opposing him from the start, their message is diluted severely.
They lost that air of objectivity that they cultivated for 50 years even through Obama .

There is another side to all this. The reason US costs are high is because of the massive regulatory and tax burden. Someone mentioned FICA above, but there is so much more. I have known tech managers who love H1bs because they can't complain. (the managers say that publicly.) No discrimination, no sexual harassment, no 30 hours of legal fees and 3 months of paper trail to give them a bad review. And they are young, so it lowers insurance costs, etc.
I keep typing and deleting here. We have a work culture problem in US, and I think a lot of that comes from HR and Legal making it hard to fire people for being shit workers. H1bs solve that, but what I am saying is we have two problems.
- Shortage due to low wages, due to h1bs
- bad work culture
- high regulatory and tax burden making wages seem too high to compete.

I'd almost settle for that, but see if he can lower any part of it. If the DA is firm, take it...but there's probably room for either the fine and/or the ignition blocker to be lowered due to her being personally poor.
Successful delayed adjudication would end up with zero record aka dismissed charges/a lack of conviction - that would be an awesome outcome for her for the long term...

Our helpdesk team is in India. They're the team you ping if you need more AI tokens or if you need new access rights. All of their tasks are drop-dead, brain-dead simple.
Every time I need something like that, I ping people in the US who have rights to do things like that, but aren't on those teams. I only put in a helpdesk ticket as a last resort.
Every time I've dealt with helpdesk, it's the same experience. It takes at least two days for them to acknowledge your request. Then they stall at least three days by asking three word questions they could have answered for them if they read the title or description of the request. They "work" when we're asleep, so it's at least a 24 hour turnaround time when they ask stupid things like, "is this for you?" when you're asking for access to a machine.
Something that should take at most two minutes to click a box or run a script takes at least a work week. It's infuriating.

All true, but you don't want to take this to court b/c she does not want a permanent record.
DAs negotiate less when they know they have someone easily convictable on a charge, so you have to keep that in mind, too.
A good defense lawyer should still get some "compromise" from the DA to get the deal done, but it will be less if the DA knows he/she has a slam dunk case.

Say what you will about Indian programmers, but they did a heck of a fine job on the programming for the flight management computers that Boeing put into the 737MAX. You know, that computer that the plane needed to handle predictably and offset the effect of having engines that were too big for the airframe.

They have brought in illegals to be truck drivers and run shady trucking firms from around the world like Uzbekhistan. I think the Sikhs are prevalent in coming to the US for that purpose, but they are catching illegals and bad drivers from across the US.
And now the corporations hiring these mountebanks are going to pay through the ass in coming lawsuits thanks the Scotus. It will kill the shady brokers first and then the corporate transportation hiring managers which will remove the need for these fly by night truckers and fake trucking diploma mills.

Third World immigration is spreading the bad work habits. Pride in one's work is no longer a thing as far as I can see.
I was reminded of this last weekend touring museums in Vicksburg, MS. The old court house building is loaded with all kinds of artifacts from around the Democrat's War. The clothes were very finely detailed. The furniture — all of it— is all intricate and detailed. Everything looked like someone spent serious time carving and shaping each piece, including picture frames. The children's tea cups were also very fine, detailed and demonstrated a lot of care in their making.
Now we get IKEA inspired designs or something that looks like it was shaped with a hatchet.

Their entire model is to just delay, obfuscate, pass the buck, blame someone else, and generally waste the time of anyone being critical of their performance until the other party throws up their hands and walks away. It's absolutely maddening.
I worked with a software tester who was pretty knowledgeable, but was absolutely devoted to process in everything. If she had her way, 90% of the workday would have been mindlessly filling out documents describing what your were about to do or had done. She usually caught all of the big bugs and was a good resource to ask about nitty gritty details about a functional area. But hoo-boy, every time she missed a big bug, her way to show she really cared was to call for days and days worth of meetings to discuss all of the new processes she wanted to enact to ensure that never happened again. That was her way of "taking responsibility."
Then it was on the rest of us to tell her, "NO!" we're not adding three new daily meetings and seven new mandatory process templates.

Embarrassing blow for Barack Obama as workers at his ‘Death Star’ presidential center are already so fed up they’re leaving in droves… as stern letter is released.
Barack Obama is facing a fresh humiliation at his ‘eyesore’ presidential center with workers slamming the project’s bosses and moving to unionize just months after it opened.
In a letter to colleagues this week, staff at the Chicago library said they were organizing a union due to the institute’s ‘increasing workloads’ and benefit rollbacks.
Workers have grown frustrated with leadership at Obama’s foundation after their concerns were met with ‘vague responses,’ according to the letter, first shared by the Chicago Sun-Times.

This was over X box. Microsoft fired a bunch of citizens and then tried to backfill those fired jobs with H1Bs after they put an Indian dot as head of that division.
They and other big firms have been routinely cutting corners on H1B regulations regarding required job searches, etc. because up until now, they got away with it.

Rubio Delivers Speech at the Acropolis, Rallying the West to Embrace Western Values and Western Roots
It seems strange that anyone would even have to advocate for this.
Ben Whedon for Just the News:Rubio's Acropolis speech pitches Trumpism as a return to Western roots Secretary of State Marco Rubio in a speech Wednesday at the Acropolis in Athens cast the Trump administration and its broader movement as a conscious revival of the foundational principles of Western Civilization and urged Europe to follow its lead. ... Rubio's decision to deliver the speech against the backdrop of the Acropolis was deliberate. The ancient site is perhaps the most widely known monument associated with classical Greece, which scholars have traditionally viewed as the progenitor of what is now called "the West." "For thousands of years, the civilizations that built what stands behind me have captivated the imagination of the Western world," Rubio opened. "The things we owe to this place as Americans -- and as Westerners -- are actually far, far deeper. What blossomed here in this place was the Western desire to uncover all that ignorance, darkness, and distance had kept hidden from the mind of man." But Rubio went beyond romantic invocations of the ancient past and insisted that the modern Trump administration was working to advance a classically-influenced theory of politics. He further spelled out a tangible theory of statecraft on the world stage and encouraged European nations to adopt it themselves. "For all their lofty ideals, the ancient Greeks were not naive," Rubio argued. "They understood that nations have interests. They understood that statecraft requires prudence and diplomacy. But they also understood that it requires the ability to wield force with prudence when diplomacy fails." "They understood that power requires not only having the means to defend yourself, it requires the credibility that you are willing to use it. This is the classical understanding of politics and of statecraft that the Trump administration hopes to reclaim, reclaim not just for our country, but for the whole of our civilization. We believe that Europe can awaken from its long slumber and rekindle the fire that was lit here millennia ago." Rubio then went further to explain how to weave those ideas into the political landscape of a modern, increasingly international world, saying "[n]ational interests did not vanish in the face of international institutions" and that nations still faced threats that required them to respond. He stated that the path forward was to rebuild international institutions while "understanding that the purpose of these things is not to abolish the sovereignty of the nations that constitute them, but is to defend them, and that nations need not abandon their distinct identities in order to recognize their common interests." That position seems to come as a rebuke of globalism, cultural uniformity, and mass immigration on a large scale as many Western nations shift toward the political right in response to the influx of non-Western immigrants.The full speech is here. The speech begins with a narrative about the rise of democracy and western values. I'll skip past that to get to the part where he begins to make his argument. This passage is about the need for actual competition in a society, and standards of excellence, lest that society devolve into shapeless, useless communism.
That's a refutation of fake, communist "equity," in which everyone is a winner and everyone gets a participation award, and of course no one accomplishes or produces anything because there's no benefit to doing so. He also attacks transnationalist "Davosism," the socialist dream of all national borders melting away into one gigantic ultrastate.
For the Greeks of antiquity, the pursuit of excellence was the very principle of man's existence. They organized all of civic life around contest, ambition, competition: in philosophy and poetry, in sculpture and drama, in athletics and art, in war and statecraft. The classical Greek city was an arena for great men to test and prove themselves, to hone their potential through perpetual struggle -- to be the best, the strongest, the most beautiful, straining to inch ever closer to perfection. Now I know that to modern ears, what I just described, this way of life, may sound odd; it may even sound cruel. The ideal of many ideologies in our time has, frankly, become a world of perfect safety, devoid of risk or failure, with neither the glory of victory nor the shame of defeat. Too often these days, we build downwards. We design our standards to ensure no one will lose; we preoccupy ourselves more with the comfort of the worst than the potential of the best. We hold the most exceptional things among us hostage to the average, the ordinary, the mediocre. The men who made the Parthenon, they built upwards. They held that the highest and most noble aspiration in life was to surpass all others, to strive to be the best in all things. The ancient Greek city-states were filled. They were filled with intense passion and rivalry and faction and conflict. But from that constant struggle for distinction -- from that came the great flowering of art and philosophy and political and intellectual energy that would transform a collective of Mediterranean cities into the birthplace of the greatest civilization in the world. The thumos, as the ancient Greeks called it -- the fire of passion, strength, courage, pride -- is the heart of great civilization. And without it? Without it, nations lose their will to fight, the will to strive, the will to survive. Today, too much of the West has forgotten this quality. Over time, we in the West came to feel ashamed of the very things that made us exceptional. We felt embarrassed that our achievements set us apart from the rest of the world. Our prosperity somehow became a source of guilt. We no longer believed we deserved and had earned our greatness. The word "nationalism" became a dirty word. And so we tore down our monuments; we condemned our own history. And in too many places, we taught our children to be ashamed of the countries they would inherit. In the process, we opened our borders and outsourced our industry, and allowed our militaries to wither and to decay. And with every passing year, we seemed to outsource more of our sovereignty, transferring our decisions to global bureaucracies far beyond the reach of our control. But others were all too happy to fill the vacuum that we left -- the vacuum left behind by our weakness. And as the West's confidence faltered, its adversaries and its rivals only grew more assertive, building up their own wealth and their own power in our stead. And now, today, we find ourselves at a crossroads. Because the next decade and the decisions we make will write the story of the next century. The course we take will determine whether the West maintains its place at the head of the world or resigns itself to a future of atrophy and servitude and decline. We will either choose to act now or lose the choice to act at all. Under President Trump, the United States has made its choice. We choose the unapologetic pursuit of national power: to take back control of our critical supply chains, to reindustrialize our economy, to rebuild our defense, to fight for dominance of the technologies and industries of the future. We choose to reach for new frontiers: in advanced manufacturing and super intelligence; in drones, weapons, and warfare; in chips, minerals, cyber, and every other domain of human possibility. To unleash our energy, to rebuild our factories, to return our astronauts to the moon and launch a new age of exploration in space.
Now it's has become fashionable today to believe that enlightened foreign policy means prioritizing the global community over one's own people. And I think here, too, we have much to learn from the men of ancient Greece because they knew that there was nothing selfish or wrong about loyalty to your nation, nor anything selfish or wrong about fighting to defend its interests above all else. They believed -- fiercely -- in the ideal of the great man: the exceptional individual who obtains immortality through his own deeds. But they believed that glory and fame, those things were won through striving, sacrificing and achieving greatly for something larger than yourself. The recurring hero of the ancient Greek world was the man who was willing to pay any cost for a cause worthy of his loyalty. ... These -- these are the qualities that would shape the Western moral imagination. From the Christian martyr who refused to betray his faith to the patriot who gave his life for his country; from Saint Thomas More to the Battle of the Alamo, running through the immortal closing words of the Declaration of Independence of the United States which says, "We mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor." ... This is wholly different from what we see, even now, for example from fanatics like the radical mullahs of Iran, whose cult of death hails child suicide bombers as national heroes, and portrays martyrdom as an end to itself. Our heroes -- our heroes may be willing to die for their cause; but our heroes do not worship death. It is precisely because we value life that we come to recognize the heroism in those who would sooner sacrifice it than to betray their principles. Now, we take the West's conception of these things -- heroism, honor, duty -- we take these things for granted. We assume that these somehow are universal to all people in all times and in all places. They are not. They are the product of a distinct character, a distinct character which arose here and shaped the whole story of the civilization that came after it. A civilization that we must fight to defend today with the same passion as our forefathers did. ... The greatest Americans of every generation have carried the unmistakable features of their forefathers -- born in Athens, formed by Rome, baptized in Christendom, hardened in the furnace of medieval Europe, endowed with the English genius for liberty, and then carried across the Atlantic to be reborn on the shores of a new world. Together, we must now rediscover that spirit. We are at an inflection point -- an inflection point not only in the history of my nation, but an inflection point in the whole of our civilization. The threats we face today are every bit as real as they were on the dramatic stage of antiquity. National interests did not vanish in the face of international institutions. War did not disappear simply because we preferred peace. Other states continued to arm, to seek influence, to compete for territory, and technology, and resources, and markets, and energy, and power. And now, there is war again. There is new competition between great powers again. There is vulnerability, aggression, terrorism, a whole universe of new threats and attacks again. And so we must rebuild our institutions and our alliances to face these threats together -- understanding that the purpose of these things is not to abolish the sovereignty of the nations that constitute them; it is to defend them. And that nations need not abandon their distinct identities in order to recognize their common interests.An excerpt:
SECRETARY RUBIO: We should marvel at what our forefathers carved out of this countryside. The story of our civilization is the greatest story ever known to man. And it began here, with the first men and women of the West. From them, from them we can rediscover the virtues, the courage, and the strength to confront the dangers that we face in our time.

Example, so small but significant: I'm watching an I Love Lucy episode. There's a one-act-play-writing competition among the middle class ladies' culture clubs of New York City. They'll be performed and judged in a single event. A Broadway producer is there to see if there's any usable talent.
STOP RIGHT THERE. At the same time, I'm reflecting on how Chinese workers during that time were forced to grind away their "spare hours" listening to lectures about the greatness of Mao Tse-tung Thought. I'm learning about Somali gangs shooting up Minnesota suburbs.

My read is that plucking someone with actual intelligence and potential out of the do-nothing circle-jerk that is the US Senate and letting him cook has something to do with it. I also think that Marco got pissed off being in the Senate and figured out What Time It Is and thus got down to doing some real, actual work.

Many of the same people praising the speech also dismiss the importance of having Senators and Congresscritters make an impassioned, well-considered speech or interrogation of a hostile witness. Sure, it's easy to mock their shirtsleeve status, but a good speaker is still worthwhile. Words matter. Words can move people. Ask Churchill.

Vance is tying himself to ending the OPT and H1B as frontman today. This is one of the biggest hits on globo homo corporatists in a long while and going after Microsoft and Adobe takes guts.
Young white males in college or recent graduates have not benefited as much from the Trump economy yet because corporations have tried to layoff as many citizens and hire foreigners in order to bolster corporate profits. Those not in college are seeing a much better job market right now.
This action restricting the endless corporate greed for cheap labor is going after what this group of voters see as corporations destroying their hopes and dreams by hiring cheap visa applicants that are often not even qualified over Americans.

I hope so, but JFTR, he is not ordained . He may have graduated from seminary, but he himself said he did not complete his ordination requirements because he was concentrating on politics. In order to be ordained in many denominations you have to submit lengthy papers and go before an examining board which last a day or several days.

Kinda brilliant, actually. He's already grifted millions from his campaign, and will keep whatever he doesn't spend from now until the election. If he were to keep campaigning, he'd have to spend a bunch of that money, and if he fundraises, his donors will inevitably be pissed when he gets his ass kicked. By laying low, he can claim that "the polls and all the Democrat advisers told me that I had it in the bag!", and avoid being blamed.
Then he can take all of the remaining cash and live out his days doing butt stuff on Fire Island.

It's because their brand of government and social structure breeds stagnancy. You are not rewarded for innovation. The state is rewarded in your place. You get to succeed if they SAY you get to succeed. And, ultimately, that allows you to obtain credit for someone else's accomplishment(s).
So, as expected the ingenuity and innovation of discovery is stifled in China. So, they take from others not held back (as much) by that structure.
No one really ever says this out loud. I think Rubio just might one of these days.

🚨 JUST IN: JD Vance just exposed socialists like Bernie Sanders 10 YEARS AGO opposing open borders because it's cheap labor, now they CRY FOUL when Trump cracks down on displacement of Americans
"[For them], it's not about the working class. It's about their HATRED of native-born citizens!" 🎯
"Back in 2016...when Bernie Sanders...was asked about open borders. He gave an answer that sounded similar to Stephen Miller said — of course we're not going to have open borders, because that's going to displace American workers!"
"It is ironic that so many of the self-described socialists running across this country, they love the idea of replacing American workers with foreign workers." 💯
Bernie literally called open borders "a Koch brothers proposal" that would make Americans poorer
Now his own party fights Trump on every single move to protect American jobs! MAJOR HYPOCRISY
Trump is the one standing up for the working class now. Imagine that.

A lot of the secret language has been invented to circumvent social media censoring and blocking words particularly young males.
Sort of like how the Cockney invented rhyming slang.

I've heard a modern firing squad execution is relatively tame. They put the condemned in a dark jumpsuit with a white bit of cloth over their heart. They're immobilized. The shots fire, the bit of cloth disappears, the condemned's head falls forward, the curtains close.

Agreed! And FWIW, I have no problem with saying "St Augustine." Weigh the volume of all the good he did and the soundness of almost all his doctrine against the few errors and there is no comparison. I've heard that some of his errors can be traced back to his lack of Greek and therefore not being exposed to numerous issues that had already been decided in the East. And he was frequently reacting to bad heresy, and sometimes his arguments went too far and tipped into statements that could be later taken out of context.

Slum-dweller, fishmonger, greengrocer.
And then plenty more: “Queen of Coattonia (Trash-town,”
,” “cow,” “wide-mouthed frog,” “bitch.”
And so on. Over the years, I’ve been called all sorts of names.
Personal insults—targeting my appearance, my family, my background.
But today, the tone changes. And the level is raised.
This is because a Democratic Party figure—one Floriano Della Bella—stated during a Pontedera City Council meeting that Meloni is a “*Ciociara*—in the most derogatory sense of the word.”...
...
I am sorry for them, but I do not share that view. I am proud to be called *Ciociara*. For Ciociaria is one of the most beautiful, ancient, and extraordinary regions of our Italy—a land of popes and military leaders, saints and artists, writers and poets. It is the home of Cicero, Gaius Marius, Boniface VIII, Saint Thomas Aquinas, Marcello Mastroianni, Vittorio De Sica, Nino Manfredi, and so many other men and women who have shaped our history over the ages. …
...etc
Long live Ciociaria!

Schultz had to deal with teh fallout of Nixon taking the US off the Gold Standard because it was no longer tenable (due to LBJ and overspending by Dems in the 60's). He was Nixon's OMB chief, then moved to Labor (I think he was just in time for Nixon's wage price freeze ), then Treasury. Basically a cleanup pitcher after Nixon and his coterie of advisors made messes. Nixon was a lousy domestic president and far too worried about the great game to pay much attention to domestic politics other than winning reelection.

Forcibly is kinda a strong word for the Roman incorporation of Greece. Greece starting calling them in to settle disputes between one lame coalition of states and another coalition of states. Or to fight off Macedon. So they got the standard treaty which was Rome protects you, and you have to do what they say, a patron-client relation. Then later, when the patron wanted something they didn't do it, and Rome came down on them like a hammer for a violation of the rules.
Eventually they were reduced to provincial status and vegetated.

Don't Call Them Somali Gangs. Call Them Well-Armed Doctors and Engineers.
The Somali community, and the left generally, continues to rage that Somali gang members are called Somali gang members. They want them called "American" gang members. And they insist that the problem isn't Somalis, it's just guns.
FoxNews:Video of that shootout below. When you have a Somali tribal beef that involves shooting one hundred bullets next to suburban bedrooms where children are sleeping, people's indulgence of endless migrant crime begins to run out.
Violence tied to Somali-American gangs in the Twin Cities metro erupted in recent days, with law enforcement recovering nearly 100 casings after a gunfight captured on a resident's surveillance camera -- as officials warn they need help to contain the problem before it escalates.
But the lesbian tank operating as Hennepin County's DA says that we shouldn't resort to simplistic answers like putting criminals in jail.
The warning follows a burst of violence across several Twin Cities suburbs -- including a Bloomington shootout that left nearly 100 shell casings and another shooting in Eden Prairie -- as law enforcement says the incidents have entered a retaliation cycle and officials race to disrupt the groups before the violence evolves into more entrenched drug- and money-driven crime. "We have the opportunity to fix it," Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher said of a surge in Somali gang violence across the Twin Cities -- but warned authorities could be facing a much more difficult problem if the groups escalate the resources they use. "It's early. Once they evolve into drugs, we're in trouble. Once they evolve into money, more money, we are in trouble," said Fletcher, whose county is anchored by St. Paul and runs along the west bank of the Mississippi River. Fletcher estimated that about 300 juveniles are involved and said part of the problem lies in the Somali gangs' relative novelty to local law enforcement and what he characterized as a reluctance to aggressively prosecute offenders across the river in Minneapolis. "We need more people focused on this problem. Because 50 kids in this 300 need to go to jail, 25 need to be prosecuted by the feds for RICO and and another 25 need to be prosecuted at the local level. Take 50 of the most active out of the mix, and we will see dramatic changes," he said.
Uh-huh. Citizens know this is bullshit. One railed against the endless flow of obfuscatory left-wing bullshit to hide the real problem.
He ascribed some of the reticence to neighboring Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty, saying she has not been sufficiently "aggressive" in prosecuting such offenders. "One of the misconceptions is that somehow when you prosecute people, put them in jail that you're destituting them to some terrible life. This is how kids get corrected," he said. Moriarty's office pushed back on the assertion, with spokesman Daniel Borgertpoepping saying the neighboring communities are "looking for solutions" and that Moriarty's prosecutors "communicate daily with law enforcement [and] will participate in any group that moves us toward sustainable public safety." "The way we approach prosecution of violent crime is consistent regardless of the race or ethnicity of those involved," Borgertpoepping said.
Yesterday I mentioned a police chief stating that these gangland shootouts aren't even about money or drugs (yet). They're just well-off teenagers who are devolving to the Somali preference for internecine warfare.
"We don't need more virtue signaling, yard signs, DEI initiatives, or community conversations that lead to nowhere. We need competent government, accountability, and safe neighborhoods," he said, also blaming Moriarty's office for "refu[sing]" to properly address the issue. He also suggested officials have sometimes generalized the ethnicity of those involved, remarking that it "feels more comfortable for some people to say East African. I don't even know that that's a fair term, because 98% of these gang members are Somalians."
In nearby Bloomington, where about 100 casings were recovered from the scene of a late-night firefight that appeared to involve automatic weapons, Police Chief Booker Hodges took a confrontational tack toward the suspects who remained at large -- while warning they do not fit the typical stereotype of gang members. "They're coming from two parent homes, living in apartment buildings with $3,500 a month rent, driving Beamers and Mercedes. They're not dealing with money. There's no drugs in the house. They're purchasing legal firearms," he said.Michele Tafoya, running to be a senator from Minnesota, is campaigning on the issue.
Below, the shootout caught on surveillance cameras. Imagine living with this.
The Republican Senate nominee in Minnesota is sounding the alarm about crime levels in the state amid a wave of Somali gang violence and a foiled terror plot by an American born to Somali parents. "I hear a lot of concerns from Minnesotans on the campaign trail about crime, and no matter what form that crime takes, Minnesotans know that they feel under a level of threat that has increased lately here in Minnesota, and in the last week and just today," Michele Tafoya, running as a Republican against Minnesota's Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, told Fox News Digital on Wednesday. "We saw the arrest of an 18-year-old Somali American citizen to Somali parents arrested for a terrorist -- planning a terrorist attack -- at the Mall of America during a Hmong celebration." ... The FBI alleges Mohamud had digital communications beginning in December 2024 with a confidential human source he believed was a member of al-Shabaab, a Somali Islamist terror group and offshoot of ISIS. "I can't wait until I kill kuffar man. October 24 is the day insha Allah," one of the messages said. "Kuffar" is a term used to refer to non-Muslims, and "insha Allah" means "God willing." The Hmong people are indigenous to Southeast Asia and boast a relatively large population in the United States. "We have a large Hmong community here in Minnesota as well, and he basically stated that he wanted to take out anyone who was not a Muslim. He also noted that the Mall of America is owned by people who are Jewish," Tafoya said. "And so this was his plan, and thank goodness for the FBI in Minneapolis here and local law enforcement for catching onto this plan and derailing it well in advance. This is a guy who has pledged his allegiance to ISIS. Again, he is of Somalian descent and terror is alive and well and thank God we averted this massive crisis." ... "And we have had Somali-related -- Somali gang-related -- attacks here locally in our suburbs at a high school football game during homecoming, at a Catholic Church parking lot, at a gas station, and this is all just really started to peak here in the last couple of weeks. So it's undeniable. Our law enforcement here are calling it out as the product of Somali gang violence, and we've got to identify it, and we have to find a way to deal with it." ... "I don't know how you can legislate that assimilation, but we simply cannot tolerate the level of crime," she said. "We've seen it with fraud here. It's in the paperwork that the Feeding Our Future fraud was largely ... in terms of percentage, probably 98%, Somali people involved in that fraud," she said. "What I do think is any guests of this country who commits crime should be sent home with no pathway back," she said. "If you're coming here to be a guest of this country or to live in this country you cannot break our laws, and if you're an American, you cannot break our laws, period."
"Minnesota teacher" says Somalis work too hard in America and that's why the "youth" commit gang shootings
No, this is not AI or a far-right skit https://t.co/ghU2aiQMai— End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) October 8, 2026
About 54 percent of Somali-headed households in Minnesota receive food stamps, and 73 percent of Somali households have at least one member on Medicaid. The comparable figures for native households are 7 percent and 18 percent.
Nearly every Somali household with children (89 percent) receives some form of welfare. Although Somalis have recently been implicated in welfare fraud, any population with poverty rates as high as theirs will qualify for extensive means-tested aid. The best way to reduce immigrant consumption of welfare is not simply to crack down on fraud, but to reduce the number of new arrivals who have low earning power.

Many are fiercely patriotic Americans, but love their own history.

Our modern immigration problems started in the 1960s.

The Overton Window has materially shifted against immigration, though, which opens up the window to continue the deportation operation after Trump leaves.

In that late 19th, early 20th century time, immigrants also didn't assimilate. They created ethnic enclaves, mostly in cities, and became voting blocs. Italians, Polish, Chinese, they refused to learn English, were heavily insular, and caused massive problems in labor and public safety, creating a slowly building backlash that led to that 1924 act.
It took literally decades, but the Overton Window did eventually shift to the point where Congress would pass it and Coolidge would sign it.

Deportations of illegals is easier, requires just an administrative hearing with an immigration judge (who are all executive employees, not judicial employees) and happen fairly quickly. The due process is short and sweet, and most sign waivers to just leave once caught.
It's the naturalized ones who have longer issues. The ones who did go through the process of naturalization, as compromised as it's been over the last few decades.

Indiana senator Todd Young, noted RINO, was saying wholesale anti-immigrant things in the last year.
That wouldn't have happened just 4 years ago.
Party leadership and the heir apparent is fully on the anti-immigration train (not just anti-illegal, just anti-legal), and it's now a death sentence to be pro-immigration in Republican national politics except in the smallest of exceptions.
All those GOP House members who sign onto amnesty legislation every Congress that never even gets brought up for a vote? They all voted for the OBBB which tripled ICE's funding and created the deportation machine of today, fully appropriated through 2028.

DOJ Seeking Criminal Indictment Of Cassidy Hutchinson Over Jan. 6 Testimony
The Department of Justice is reportedly seeking criminal charges against Cassidy Hutchinson, the former Trump White House aide whose explosive Jan. 6 testimony came under scrutiny after Secret Service witnesses disputed one of her most dramatic accounts.
Federal prosecutors are seeking an indictment against Hutchinson for allegedly lying to Congress about President Donald Trump’s actions during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol, according to Punchbowl News’ Laura Weiss.
The DOJ’s Civil Rights Division presented evidence to a federal grand jury Tuesday and plans to introduce additional witnesses and evidence later this month, Weiss reported on X, citing anonymous sources familiar with the matter.

They never thought they'd ever see another Trump presidency and thus thought they'd get a pass from Democrap law enforcement no matter what they did.
Surprise! Trump's election in 2024 is among the single most significant events in our nation's history. Not joking. Imagine what the country would be like if Kamala won in 2024. [Shudders] [Vomits]

But 100 of those would have been policed up and placed into reloading bins. And there would have been a bunch of "Somali Gang"-belonging bodies scattered about. And brisket waiting for the responding police officers, with cold iced tea.

Which would include Egyptians, Sudanese (both flavors), Eritreans, Ethiopians, Kenyans, Ugandans, Burundians, Tanzanians, Mozambiquans(?), and maybe some South Africans. The majority of whom are very different from Somalians, culturally. (Most of those have actual governments, rather than a collection of warlords masquerading as "a" government. Other countries might be similar to Somalia in culture - tribal, corrupt, etc. - but none are quite as far gone as Somalia. IMO.)

Seriously, stop handing out money, i.e.: "grants" to anyone for anything other than goods and services for the government.
Toilet paper for the bathrooms in the PO, OK. Janitorial service to clean the toilets, fine.
Money to someone to hand out toilet paper to "low income families", not only no, but hell no.
To much money gets stuck to NGO palms, even if they've doing something we want done.
