The Classical Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival
Good morning boys and girls and everything in between. Hopefully everyone here today still has all of their digits, eyes, ears and hair after the Big Birthday Bash Fireworks. Before we enter the Prayer Revival just a few housekeeping matters to go over. (Rulz for those of you in Spokane) 1) This is an open thread. Feel free to lurk, opine and/or bloviate.
2) Be kind, be nice.
3) At this point in time, what is the rule about running with sharp objects?
4) Have a great weekend!
AOSHQ Weekly Prayer List Please submit any prayer requests to me, “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks unless we receive an update. Prayer Requests: 4/3 – Teresa in Fort Worth posted an update. Her chemo seems to be holding things steady for now. Unfortunately, as she is receiving a steroid, she has gained about 25 pounds. Her blood sugar has also jumped up about 40 points (which only happens when she is on steroids).
6/1 Update – Teresa had a CT scan and has seen the surgeon. Everything looks good/stable. There are no new tumors and the ones that are there have pretty much stayed the same or shrunk. No metastises seen. Additional good news is that she can stay on the current medication, and just alternate it with other meds. She continues to respond extremely well to the protocols. She sends her gratitude for each and every prayer.
6/19 – Teresa in Fort Worth sent an update. Her cancer marker numbers continue to go down; hopefully that means everything is working! In other news, she has started working on another stocking, this time for her grandson, who will be implanted soon via IVF. Prayers for a successful procedure and pregnancy would be greatly appreciated! 5/20 – D gave an update on his wife Susan and her continued battle with cancer. Her cancer markers are still headed in the right direction. She is on a new antibiotic, and it is causing some side effects, but it is keeping her out of another surgery, so that is a win. Thanks again to everyone for their prayers. May 1 marked one year since they found out about the cancer, and Susan is doing so well.
6/24 Update – Everything is going well. The chemo seems to be working, but it’s very hard. The prayers help, so please keep praying for them. 5/23 – I used to have a Different Nic could use some prayers as he waits for the results of a biopsy of a mass on his prostate.
6/2 Update – I used to have a Different Nic sent in an update. He has been diagnosed with risk group 2 prostate cancer. It appears to be localized to the prostate but this will be verified via another scan. He has doctor appointments lined up for the next month or so before he starts treatment.
6/23 Update – The latest update is that he has stage 2, “unfavorable intermediate”, which he notes is an awful name, but what it means is, it is in the middle, but bad enough that they want to treat it. It’s more aggressive than previously thought. He is at the point where he has to decide on treatment options, which means choosing which set of pretty unfortunate side effects he prefers.
7/6 Update – He has gotten a second opinion, and selected the option for treatment, which should begin next week. 6/18 – buzzion asked for prayers for a friend named Christina, who has struggled with drug addiction and is in jail again. Buzzion prays that this really is rock bottom and a true wake-up call for her – even if it requires her to stay in jail.
6/29 Update – Christina’s family bonded her out of jail and she has checked into a rehab facility. Please pray that she gets the help she needs. 6/20 – bluebell gave an update on grammie Winger. Grammie had some major surgery related to her cancer in March and is pretty much housebound. She said she isn’t keeping up on news since her diagnosis; she doesn’t have the energy. She said she thinks of her grey-box friends often with fondness. Please keep praying for her. Your prayers are a source of great comfort to her.
6/27 Update – grammie winger requested bluebell to let the Horde know that she is hospitalized again, with sepsis, and cannot eat or walk. She is very tired and cannot speak for long. She is being fed by tube. They don’t know how long she will be hospitalized or where she will go after (rehab, hospice, etc.). Bluebell has a mailing address for grammie, so please contact bluebell to send a card or note to grammie winger. Please pray for her, that her suffering will be eased, and pray for her family, who are suffering along with her.
7/4 – grammie winger posted her thanks for the sweet, sweet cards and letters. She said she treasured each and every one of the Horde reprobates. She can’t express the love she has as she sits there in the cancer hospital. 6/20 – Polliwog the ‘Ette said that prayers for Inspector would be much appreciated. Inspector is still in the hospital. They are working on getting his strength up so it’s safe for him to go home. He is more alert and focused than when he was admitted, and he has been able to eat multiple full meals, which is an improvement and will help him continue to improve. 6/21 – B posted a request for prayers. He said that, due to his own shortcomings, and a moment of madness 6 years ago, B has been estranged from his two sons (age 41 and 36). He has tried to reach out and apologize to them over the past 6 years, to no avail. B asked the Horde to pray for their hearts to open, to allow him to properly apologize, and try to be the father he should have been. The boys are losing their mother to early-onset Alzheimers, and B needs them to know that he’s a better person today than he was then, and he can be counted on. 6/27 – Tom Servo posted prayers of thanks to God that his 38 year-old daughter, who was released from a psych hospital this week after a particularly bad breakdown. She has 2 children, which she does not have custody of, but she still sees, and they are wonderful. She has received more professional care, and it appears to have helped quite a bit. She has new medication and a new commitment to living in a way that will keep her from making a return trip to the hospital. 6/27 – George V sent his thanks to the Horde for their prayers. We had prayed for his wife in May, when she had a heart valve replacement, and there were indications of problems in her lymph nodes. She received the biopsy results, and both came back negative for cancer! Thank God for his goodness! 6/27 – “A” sent thanks for the prayers for a family friend, who is at home recovering with the family and doing much better. “A” has an additional request for long-time friends (J and S) who are in the midst of intense family problems and requesting healing, peace, repentance, and restoration in the family. 7/2 – Publius asked for prayers for his 96 year old mother, who had emergency surgery when a massive hematoma on her leg ruptured, and they couldn’t stop the bleeding due to her being on blood thinners. Things were not looking good, but Publius posted later she received blood thinner reverser medication, and was fully conscious and alert after surgery. 7/3 – San Franpsycho posted that Mrs. F. was admitted to the hospital from the ER visit, and asks for prayers for a complete and immediate recovery for her. She was conscious enough to phone him late last night, and it was a great relief that she was awake even for a short period. She continues with IV fluids and atb. Further steps and hopefully improvement await the results of lab tests. The caring concern shown by so many morons has been a great relief. Thank you.
7/5 Update – Mrs. F. remains hospitalized while being treated for salmonella poisoning. She has had some improvement, but is on Day 5 of not being able to keep down any nourishment. 7/4 – Duke Lowell humbly asked for prayers for the nurses who will have to put up with him, when he goes in for (hopefully the last) surgery related to the events of last September. 7/4 – AH Lloyd requested prayers for his aunt, who was in a shattering collision on 6/29. She was hit by a semi at full speed through an intersection. She lost a lot of blood, but is out of ICU now. 7/4 – Random Dave posted the good news that the past week of interviews went very well. He also had a prayer request for his grand-niece, who has not been growing properly. She’s about 5 or 6. The growth plates are fine but has not grown in over a year. They have found an intestinal or bowel blockage and may need surgery. 7/4 – Dr. No sent his thanks for the prayer list and the Horde’s prayers that helped his daughter in her recoveries from (a) cancer and (b) knee replacement surgery. She’s doing fine now. 7/7 – Weak Geek asked for prayers for the survivors of RG and KG, a couple in their 90s who were pillars of their church for decades. They were knifed to death on 7/3 by their grandson. The entire congregation is stunned. Please pray for them too, and the pastor, trying to help deal with the tragedy. 7/7- Mis Hum is asking for prayers for Some Rat. He has some serious health issues at this time. For submission guidelines and other relevant info, please contact Annie's Stew, who is managing the prayer list. You can contact her at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. If you see a prayer request posted in a thread comment, feel free to copy and paste it and e-mail it to Annie's Stew. She tries to keep up with the requests in the threads, but she's not here all of the time, so she may not see it unless you e-mail it to her. Please note: Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks or so unless we receive an update. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.

My coffee is important but it's not a sacramental rite. I use very ordinary Kirkland dark roast pods from Costco ($40 for 120). Coffee is good (dark roast) or bad ("breakfast blend", restaurant flavored water, boiled-to-asphalt).

So, what is the judge in the Robinson/Kirk preliminary hearing waiting for? There's enough evidence to bind Robinson over for trial.

You’ve made a strong case that she caught it in the hospital, as a result of the other procedure. It’s easy to forget that in spite of all precautions, hospitals are concentrated incubators for bacteriological disease. (No one likes thinking about that)

I should have posted my prayer request last year when my stage-4 prostate cancer was first diagnosed, but I was too busy freaking out.
A year and 9 rounds of chemo later, I’m still on hormone therapy, and my PSA spiked recently. Back up to 92. Supposed to be starting a drug trial soon. Still, I know from experience that prayer helps - a lot. And that there is no upper limit.
So if anyone could include me in theirs, I would greatly appreciate it.
Cheers,
Patrick

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night.
And the evening and the morning were the first day.

Next week is going to be a doozy. It's the Houston World Series of Dog Shows in town, with shows starting Wednesday. Luckily, we have somewhat simpler logistics, since The Big Dummy will be set up with his handler instead of us having a grooming spot of our own. The handler has an exercise pen, so we don't have to set one up.
And I'll be serving as a ring steward all day every day (even getting paid for it!), so I can avoid all the drama around getting TBD into the ring.

We've become a Nissan family and they're great vehicles. I drive a Pathfinder and my wife has the Rogue. Both are just great for us. My MIL drives the Murano. They've been the best cars we've owned. I would definitely recommend the Rogue as it's got plenty of space and gets great gas mileage.

I've had massive anxiety trying to make big expensive decisions alone when I have no idea what the hell I'm doing.
I recently read Psalm 112 which includes this verse:
"He is not afraid of bad news;
his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord." (112:7)
This doesn't need to go on the list, but I'd appreciate a Horde prayer that I could learn to trust the Lord and not be afraid of the next thing to go wrong in the house.
Also for a few months without any more major expenses so I can begin to recover. I've picked up a side gig to help pay for it all, so I may not have to sell a kidney or any firearms.

And I thought the merely human animals were bad enough.
Still no housing progress. The people I've been trying to work with don't seem to want to return phone calls, which kind of makes it hard to get anywhere. Ugh.
The Lord will provide, so I'm assured, but He certainly shows no inclination on making it easy.

To have crawl space or slab foundation, that is the question.
Posted by: Shakespeare & Foster, Inc. at July 11, 2026 08:59 AM (2Ez/1)
Can't have basements, crawl spaces, etc. here on the Gulf Coast. Water table is too high.
So it's all slab foundations. But the gumbo soil around here expands and contracts with the alternating droughts and floods. That's why you see so many foundation repair commericals on TV. It's also why water pipes run through the ceiling.

I've accepted that I'll probably never make back what I've poured into this house. However, if I didn't do it the house would be unsellable, and eventually unlivable.
I probably couldn't get much for my kidney. As Sophia once said on the Golden Girls when Blanche's sister needed one, "I'd give you mine, but you'd probably rather have one you can control."

Because first, all the matter in the universe, wherever it came from, was in a singularity. And then it exploded. And that explosion could only create hydrogen, helium and a bit of lithium.
And then after millions of years that would come together and make stars.
And then those stars could create heavier elements, like oxygen, in their cores. And when they explode the universe can come up with H2O.
So you can't have water on the first day.

Comparing what it says of where I live to what I know, there's a lot of guilt by geographical co-location going on. I would rate it as being of dubious value.

Posted by: dantesed at July 11, 2026 09:34 AM (Oy/m2)
Short answer: I spend the day screaming at people who should be paying attention to what's going on but can't be bothered to.
Longer answer: Conformation dog shows run on a tight schedule and stewards (one or two per ring) perform the multitude of small tasks working with judges and exhibitors to keep things going: handing out armbands, calling classes into the ring, informing the judge about absentees, laying out the correct ribbons, calling for the photographer or show superintendent, etc. Without us, the proceedings would quickly grind to a crawl. So it's an important job and needs good people to do it.

Most of the places we looked at were out of our price range by hundreds of thousands of $. Others were overpriced dumps or in lousy locations.
We visited one not yet on the market as it was being prepped for sale. Talked to a neighbor, looked inside, selling real estate agent was there so we made an offer.
It was about the only chance we had because as soon as one went up for sale, it was sold that day. We bought that house with our offer the day it went up for sale.

So a ring steward is like a company top sergeant.
Posted by: Count de Monet at July 11, 2026 09:49 AM (wVcYX)
That's a good way to describe it. Stewards also act as a liaison between the judge and exhibitors. If someone arrives late or needs to make a handler change or wants their dog at the end of the lineup, they have to ask me first. I then let the judge know and what happens happens. There are occasionally little procedural matters that I can help exhibitors with by asking the judge.
There's often a lot going on. A good steward needs a thorough knowledge of ring procedures, the ability not to get flustered and a certain diplomacy and tact. It's not a hard job to learn, but it's a hard job to learn do well.

Please pray for her, and for our family because she has not taken the news well. Outwardly she is optimistic, calm, confident, but she has become very confrontational and willful, and regularly falls back on "Well, I have cancer, deal with it!" to justify abusive behavior.
It is difficult to talk to her at all, and conversation has regressed to minimum requirements. She has become obsessed with AI and creating Christian memes, having cranked out (at last count) more than 800 of them, and regards herself as being on mission from God.
I believe she is being misled by a false "Angel of Light" because the fruits of this work have been absolutely rotten. When your entire family avoids you, that's not the Holy Spirit moving within you.

I realize that I have strayed on the first two, and am working to become absolutely trusting in God, knowing that whatever evil befalls does so with the consent of His will, and therefore will ultimately result in greater good.
I will add that last night a friend I hadn't heard from in a decade called me out of the blue, and we chatted until 3 a.m. This follows bumping into one of my best friends from college at Mass a couple of months ago. My youngest said that God knows what we are going through, and has sent my friends to support me in this time of need. God is amazing.

My wife is Appalachian, so she's always had a crazy streak, but now it's becoming a bit much.
I'm planning on spending the night at my father's place - not just to get away, but to help him with some deep cleaning and reorganization. I originally mentioned it in passing to him, and he's been very excited about it, calling asking when I'll be showing up and such. I may take the youngest along to give her a break.

After the divorce, my mother bought a house that gave me the creeps, especially the basement. She brought her family and friends in and we did a day of repainting and refreshing, but it still felt off.
We moved out after a year when she remarried.
Year later she said that the owner was an old lady who hanged herself in the basement, and so it was absurdly cheap. She got a better price because that detail had fallen out of the news. What's interesting is that our cat really hated the basement. We'd put him down there when cat-allergic people came over, and damn if he didn't figure out how to turn a doorknob and escape!
Honestly, get an old priest, a young priest, some holy water and a crucifix and you should be fine. Bid with confidence!

"Iran's Supreme Leader has vowed to take revenge following the killing of his father Ayatollah Ali Khamenei earlier this year.
In his first statement since his father's funeral, Mojtaba Khamenei vowed to avenge the death of his father and all the 'martyrs' lost in the ongoing war with the US.
'Revenge is the demand of our nation and must certainly be carried out. We pledge that we will take revenge for your pure blood and the blood of all the martyrs of these two wars from the criminal and disgraced killers.
'These criminals, whose names from top to bottom are known and documented, will take their wish for a peaceful death in old age and in their beds with them to the grave.
'They must know that this matter does not depend on my existence or that of other officials.'
According to the statement, carried by state-linked Fars news agency, that pledge would be carried out 'soon'. "

Yep. The head of the household can also bless it as well. We have a ready supply of holy water and when the kids were younger and had nightmares, I'd bless the room and sprinkle some holy water and they would go right back to sleep without a problem.

One can always convert. I did. "Come for the exorcisms, stay for the Friday fish fry!" (I hate fried fish, so that wasn't a motivation.)
Several exorcists have talked and written about their work and how Protestants often come to them (or are even referred by their pastors!) when things get crazy.
The story "The Exorcist" was based on was about a boy rather than a girl, and the demon went away when he entered the Church. Not as dramatic and spraying soup all over the place.

Top Story
- Commies to the left of me, commies also to the left of me: Meta faces fines in the trillions of dollars from Europe and a cartel of US states unless they make their platform worse. (Ars Technica)
These people need meteor strikes. Now:That figure is likely uncomfortably "close to Meta's market capitalization of around $1.5 trillion," Reuters noted. But California Attorney General Rob Bonta seems to agree it's appropriate, alleging in a statement to Reuters that "Meta has prioritized profits over the safety of kids and fueled the mental health crisis we see impacting a generation of American children."
What generation of American children? The ones you didn't manage to murder or mutilate?As Meta seemingly continues treading water - pointing to screen-time notifications that kids can easily dismiss or default settings that may be changed - the financial pressure to do more to protect kids could threaten its AI ambitions at a crucial time.
Everything not forbidden is forbidden. Everything not compulsory is compulsory.

- Taiwanese Nanya, the fourth or fifth of the Big Three memory makers, is planning to hike capital investment to $6.2 billion next year. (Tom's Hardware)
That's four times the amount allocated for this year, which was in turn four times the amount spent last year.
Supporting this are modest increases in quarterly revenue and profits year-on-year... A mere 684% and 1324% respectively.
70% of Nanya's sales are still of older DDR4 RAM, but in this market every bit helps.
- New Japanese chipmaker Rapidus is looking to hit the ground running next year as well with the launch of its 2nm fabs. (Tom's Hardware)
Until a consortium of Japanese companies joined forces to create Rapidus in 2022, the country's leading chip factories were using a creaky 40nm process - great for high-volume low-cost automotive microcontrollers but paleolithic compared to modern laptop and phone chips.
Rather than merely trying to pick up the pace, they have chosen to leapfrog the past two decades entirely.
- If you always wanted an Apple Lisa but weren't haunting the right landfill in 1989 when thousands of unsold units were dumped, now is your chance. (The Register)
A complete FPGA-emulated Lisa motherboard is now available for $350.
And the operating system is free. Apple released that as almost open source in 2023.

Among the voice talents are Mint Fantome and Phoebe Chan of idol group Densetsu.EXE, formerly known as Nijisanji's Pomu Rainpuff and Prism Project's little blue forg Ami Amami respectively.
- Meanwhile there's yet another new Tenchi Muyo outing, Tenchi Galaxy, on the way, with the dub cast adding the talents of Hololive English Advent's devilish diva, Nerissa Ravencroft.

There are two anachronisms here. A metafictional discord is that in Pleasantville, the siblings (spoiler!) were sucked into a 1950s TV show, and the real original "Across The Universe" wasn't released by the Beatles until 1969 (recording and re-recording started in '6
. A publishing quirk is that snippets of "Mrs. Robinson" made it into The Graduate (1967) a year before the song was even released on Simon & Garfunkel's fourth album, Bookends (196.
However, both songs sound like they could fit in that earlier milieu, and in fact both sound like they could be Beatles songs, even though only one is. The world is a strange place, my friends.

I guess I'm going to stop looking at older homes. Any one that's in move-in condition would be out of my price range, and the insurance will probably be too much as well *because* it's older.

Was that the one with a slightly longer wheelbase, and the double doors in back that opened like an old-style panel van? I think they call that the Clubman. I always thought, if I lived someplace where they pave the streets, a smaller car like that would be fun to drive.
I've noticed that when I change cars, every 5-7 years, I tend to alternate between large cars and smaller. Mercedes C-Class -> Buick Park Avenue -> Buick Regal -> BMW 3 Series (a little bigger than the Regal) -> Buick LaCrosse, bigger than both of the last two.

If I ever bought an SUV, it would be either the Buick Enclave, the big one of their line, or an SUV that doesn't try to disguise what it is -- a large container on wheels. Like the Chevy Suburban and its squared-off cousins.
Though I confess to a sneaking admiration for the BMW X5 and the Mercedes GLK. Back in '19, when my 3 Series was totaled, the local dealer gave me a loaner for a few days: an X5 in dark blue with caramel-colored leather. Very nice.

If you drive a Carvana purchase and don't like it, can you send it back within a reasonable time and exchange it for something else? If something were to happen to my Buick, I've thought of trying them for a used Cadillac XTS, the big sedan.

All Across the Universe
https://youtu.be/cAe1lVDbLf0
This version and Fiona's are the best covers I have heard of All Across the Universe. It is an extremely difficult song to perform well as there is a certain sharpness in the rhythm of the words that have to be hung in the air with delicacy. The tempo is ephemeral and is faster than the mood it creates; most covers slow the song down to evoke that mood of serenity and in the process the interpretation loses its energy. Both versions get these things exactly right and at the same time capture the soul that lingers there in the music.
It is one of Lennon's best compositions; it captures him in a tender moment of contemplation and at the same time seemingly resigned to whatever comes next, a Muse contemplating everything that is impossible to say but easy to feel.

Hat wearing had been declining since WWII, partly because men who'd served were tired of head coverings in general, and partly because roof lines on cars were getting lower. It was hard to enter or exit your vehicle without knocking your hat off. When wearing a fedora, I still bump my hat askew a quarter of the time when getting into or out of my car.

Given the miles you drive, you might want to consider a hybrid. I know I know.
I bought a 2024 TRD RAV4 and had it totaled while sitting at a stoplight by a knucklehead that had no insurance. The car had 3,500 mi on it and this occurred 2 days before Christmas. It was a fiasco getting another car and I took what I could get and that turned out to be a RAV4 Hybrid.
20,000 miles in and I've come to really like this car. It's not the fastest thing I've ever owned but it has enough torque that it gets up and goes and the mileage around town is about 45 mi to the gallon. The finish is excellent. Without a doubt, it's a gobot but it's a very nice gobot. I suspect the Lexus version s are something to consider if you're going more upscale.

Speaking of cars... I had a Mini Cooper back around 2005. It was an "S" model, the supercharged one. I bought it used in California while living in Monterey. I took it to Steve Dinan's shop and had a "stage 1" kit installed. New exhaust, some engine bits, and engine remapping to increase horsepower. It was like having a 4 wheel sportbike. Nimble. Fast. But not really suited for long drives. The exhaust was... loud.
My wife hated that car.

A whirly pop. On the stove. After it stops popping for longer than a count of 1001. 1002, 1003, it is done. Add too much butter. (It is never too much.) Salt to taste. Easier than microwave. Better. No more time. Microwave popcorn is a plot to make popcorn unhealthy, untasty, and complicated.

Congratulations again nurse.
You try to hire Indians for a Nigerian boiler room operation and see how you do.

That I'm Canadian thing above pretty much covers it. I'm pretty sure I could go to outside Toronto and find boiler rooms from both...
Everyone have a great night. I'm going to handle that tomorrow and get back to work here. Ralphy wants out. Snowflake is in resting and monitoring the outside activities through the window. Good kitty...

Well, my mother is in a nursing home for post-acute therapy (that's what they've all started calling themselves now, "post-acute").
After all that, she was weak as hell, but I think she's coming back. Physically. Her mind, well, she's sort of in La La Land. She's knows who were are, and knows friends and family that have visited, but otherwise is sort of in her own little world. She'll reach for things that aren't there. She seems to think background objects are close up right there at arm's length or something.
And then, she sometimes tries to eat her blanket.... Pulls it up her mouth and chews on it.

She lucked out with her roommate. The old gal is a character, one of the "good ol' gals", and it turns out we're probably related, as we got to trying figure out the cross-pollination with our family trees. Anyway, she's in there after a heart attack, followed by drug-induced rhabdomyolysis, which is pretty bad. It was caused by an interaction with statins and something else, which she says the docs that gave her that ought to have known better.
Anyway, think of Miklos' Darlene when she got old and even ornerier. That woman notices everything, and keeps watch on Mama, and gives a report on all the activities through the night.

According to that lady, Mama will wake up in the middle of night and try to get out of bed. She gets the nurses in there to deal with it.
The other morning, Mama woke up around 6AM after a few hours of sleep, and thought she was in a restaurant in Spartanburg, and was getting no service. This morning, she in a "garden shed" with no place to sit down, also waiting for service.
Anyway, again according the roommate, when she gets in that state, she'll start calling for me, and get mad because I don't come and wonder what's the matter with me.

That's what we're hoping. Over the past year, maybe a little longer, I've noticed she's been slipping a bit, not as aware of things, and getting a bit mixed up from time to time, but nothing this bad.
She was still good until after that emergency surgery (giving her blood thinners was an absolute disaster). She's in an unfamiliar place, and that has a lot to do with it. We'll just see how she progresses.
The PT guy said he managed to get her to walk 40', but it did wear her out. And that's a lot better than just a couple of days ago.

This is harder for me than with my father -- mother/son thing, but I'm hanging in there.
The hardest thing was yesterday evening, when they were changing her bandages. It was very painful, and seeing her wince and moan in pain was just a knife in the stomach. Some friends told me to just leave the room when that happens, but I was helping a bit, which they needed.

Thanks for the ONT and a new fear.
I have never been to a good cheese rolling but we did accidently see Scots in Edinburgh one Easter morning roll eggs down a steep hill for kids and dogs. We were sort of struck dumb on Arthur's Seat watching them and could tell it was a thing for many families.
I have a biopsy next week because if you have skin cancer you are never, ever over it. I was once very tan and stupid and now and then pay for it. Over 25yrs since the last wicked one and hopefully this is not one. Sometimes a yearly event! Sometimes I skip many years with no problems!
I know many have it worse and the fight will go on (*hum the Titanic music here).

There are about 7700 entries and about 10% have an attached PDF of the paper. I now have to go through each of the 6900 or so remaining entries to see what's available online for those. I don't want to spend my twilight years in library stacks looking for things.

I haven't seen her get panicked or anxious really with a lot people around, and that's happened a time or two when they have to get several people in to do something. The PT guy says she's doesn't get out of hand and does pretty good with what he has her do. Of course, I was there all the times I see her of course, and that might make a big difference.
It sounds like to me she's sort of having trouble distinguishing between dreams and reality. I was noticed a little bit of that over the last year. She'd wake up and say something strange, and I figured out it was what she was dreaming.

When I was a kid I watched " Lost in Space". It didn't occur to me that Dr. Smith was supposed to be gay or that , only that he was the villain . Same
Thing with The Skipper and "little buddy". That they just happened to be mates on a ship- not that they were "doing" each other. Yes, I got that Ginger was supposed to be obviously gorgeous and a star and Mary Ann wax the country girl I'm glad this sort of thing did not affect my childhood.

I'm in Oklahoma, willing to relocate but would prefer remote and trying NOT to move into a blue state. IT, high-end Windows Server admin and scripting/automation. Aim too low or too far outside my field and I get the "you're overqualified/don't have the background we're looking for" dodge. Lots of 'we'll get back to you' that don't. Lots of 'we really like you' followed by silence and ultimately 'we have decided to pursue other candidates'. Very frustrating. Hoping that one of the current 'we really like you' folks follows through for once. It'd be nice to get so far as 'evaluating a job offer'!

Apparently the 2nd stage peaks at about 4.1 - 4.5g during the end of the burn, which it's getting lighter, and they throttle it down. Design peak axial g is about 6g max they say. Even with a Dragon crew, they get over 4g.
Still nowhere near as bad as the Mercury boys pulled.

Heh. Funny term for the landing burn: "hoverslam". SpaceX came up with that to avoid the previous term for it, suicide burn.
A suicide burn is this. The engines can't be throttled back enough to actually hover the rocket. The most fuel efficient (and therefore allowing you to burn more fuel on the boost phase) is to time the burn at 100% throttle for the engines involved and time it just so the velocity drops to zero right as altitude is zero.
I think for obvious reasons, they dubbed that a suicide burn. The hoverslam is their term of art for it.

Yup, setting the clock back. Basically rewinding the clock a bit before the bad shit happened so it can continue on its journey along its normal lifespan. If a dude comes in with a 30,000 mile engine with a bad head gasket, or cylinder base gasket the whole top end has to come off. At that low miles the pistons are usually perfect, no wear, not even a scratch on the skirts. No wear on the guides, no wear on the bore. The heads come apart, everything gets glass beaded. The combustion chambers, the ports, the valves, piston domes, all of it. I do a fast touch up on the valve seats, polish out the guides, do a ball hone, new rings, and that 30,000 mile engine is clean as new inside, and might as well be a 5,000 mile engine. Rewind the clock.

I hate popcorn
——-
You gotta get away from the microwave shit. As an Iowanian, I know Popcorn.
First of all, “Yellow” popcorn is a variety intended for pre-popping and installed in bags and shipped on trucks. It is tough, the idea is it won’t be a pile of crumbs due to jostling in handling. It has a more rounded shape.
White popcorn is sometimes called “Butterfly” popcorn. It is more tender.
Use a heavy saucepan or even an electric skillet works great. Coconut oil or bacon drippings is preferred. Corn oil would seem logical, but all of the hydrogenated synthetic oils are nasty and will lock your gut up hard.
Light tender crispy popcorn, drenched in butter & salt. I like Cayenne, maybe a little garlic salt, or cannibalize the cheese packet from a Kraft macaroni dinner. Old Bay is pretty good too. Some people like hot sauce mixed 50/50 with the melted butter. A Tbsp of sugar mixed with the popping oil is good too.
Popcorn used to be be dirt cheap. We tried Orville Reddenbacher when it came out, and it wasn’t any better than the Vinton (Iowa) brand. That sadly, went away. Popcorn is a pain to actually grow it.

There is a criminal subculture among Sikhs, connected to the International Sikh Youth Federation, which is a terrorist entity pushing for an independent Sikh country (Khalistan) where the Indian State of Punjab now exists. The many decent respectable Sikhs in Canada and the USA are rapidly losing the goodwill they have earned through years of good behavior to the criminal and negligent behavior of the criminal class. Most of those Sikh truckers causing fatal wrecks are from that subset.. I see a young man in a turban, how can I know if he a respectable Sikh, or a thug? The respectable Sikhs; they know, and it is up to them to make the thugs disappear without a trace.

Sikhs came to the US mostly to prosper, although a lot of them don't care if they prosper while following the law or breaking it. The motivation is money and supercars.
mohammedans came here to destroy Western Civilization and to kill Joos and Christians. The motivation is death.
Besides, the Sikhs wear bitchin' turbans that are pretty badass. mohammedans wear turbans that look like they piled dirty laundry on their heads.
As bad as the Sikhs can be at times, if I have to choose, I'll take the Sikhs any day of the week.

The many decent respectable Sikhs in Canada and the USA are rapidly losing the goodwill they have earned through years of good behavior to the criminal and negligent behavior of the criminal class. Most of those Sikh truckers causing fatal wrecks are from that subset.. I see a young man in a turban, how can I know if he a respectable Sikh, or a thug? The respectable Sikhs; they know, and it is up to them to make the thugs disappear without a trace.

Fenelon, I don't know what your situation is, but I have recently found that having two age similar kittens is a lot easier. They keep each other entertained, they don't rely on unintelligible humans on how to do things, and they teach each other not to bite or play too hard.
In short they socialize each other to be decent.
I have one older cat who was raised in an apartment and never saw another cat for two years until surrendered to the shelter, the kittens really taught him to play too.
if you can, get another kitten, they are twice the fun and less of a hassle.

Anyway his wife put it in a cupboard and it was smoldering or whatever. At first the fire was confined to the cupboard. They had fire extinguishers on hand, too. But was unsure how to use one.

Tim Cook poured billions into the electric vehicle project, only to cancel it and write off the entire investment. Apple should have focused on building its own AI instead. Yet Cook chose to ignore that Sam Altman essentially stole key technology from Elon Musk and partnered with him anyway.
He rejected Musk’s Tesla, distanced himself from Elon at every turn, and now he’s learning the hard way what happens when you choose the wrong partner

Ah, thanks. Saves me having to look for it.
I think I just heard some thunder here. 'Tis the season for it. Had two wrecks with the Dixon mower this afternoon. First one, there was an empty steel barrel on the ground to mow around/under. No biggie, just bunt it with the bumper on the mower, right? Well it spun around, and th left rear drive wheel of the mower went into the open end, and got trapped there. I felt like Pooh Bear with the hunny pot on his head. Got the barrel off it, and discovered why it was trapped - the drive chain for the left rear wheel had come off. Got it strung again, and resumed mowing. Not ten minutes later, mower stopped dead, engine continues to run, no traction power. The traction drive belt had been thrown. Mower blades still spinning. Well, that was it. Shut down, towed back up to the shop with the golf cart. I will work on it in the morning. Probably replace both belts with new.

The Norman invasion of France is one thing, but let's bee real: who hasn't launched a successful invasion of France at some point.
Sicily is somewhat more challenging.

The Dixon is similar in that respect; deck drive belt has come off to change traction drive belt. Ergo, change both at once. I may have a new one of one of them on hand. I have a chain block hanging from a gantry. I can hitch that to the rear of the mower, and hoist it to about a 45 degree angle, making the belts accessible to a Peon seated on the ground. I just used it yesterday, to lift the front of the mower to change blades.

1) The fucker hosed Woz, who did the actual work of creating I and II.
He wasn't a saint by any means, but Woz wound up super rich anyway. I mean, he's worth a mere $140 million rather than billions, but I suspect that's plenty to keep him in the lifestyle to which he's become accustomed.
Apple has done... a few things... since Woz stepped down. PPC Macs, Intel Macs, and now M-series Macs, iPod, iPhone, iTunes, Hypercard, Final Cut Pro, GarageBand...
You may recall that they fired Jobs, upon which the company tanked. They brought him back, and the company now has a market cap of $4.64 trillion. Fill in the blanks.
Then there's NeXT (not financially successful as such, but it lives on in what we now call macOS... Jobs brought the OS with him when he came back), Pixar, Disney, and all the other ventures with which he was associated.
As someone put it, the secret of Jobs wasn't that he was magical, it's that he was fucking terrifying.
I think Jobs was pretty obnoxious, and not always a good person. But I'm not going to try to take away his (very real) accomplishments.

Good news. The New Horizons probe (the one that flew by Pluto, and then some interesting Kuiper Belt objects) woke up on time. The spacecraft went into hibernation mode last August, and JPL just received it's "I'm awake" signal right on time. That was followed by status reports, and all systems are green.
While the thing is hibernating, some of the instruments are still active an continuously recording data. They'll soon be downloading all that data.
The spacecraft is now 5.9 billion miles away, and one-way light time is 8 hr, 52 min.

Ahhh, yes, NeXT.
All the shit that Sam Altman is being pilloried for, Jobs did, decades before.
I have no problem with someone using open source for something in a niche market by adding some very specialized code, making it proprietary and therefore collecting enough revenue to support it.
But... taking OS code and adding bells and whistles, closing it and competing with the original OS is just wrong. You're supposed to give back in the open source world, not just take.
Almost all of Apple's contribution to open source occurred after Jobs left.

England and Australia have "One Punch" orgs that do campaigns to raise awareness that drunken brawling isn't all just innocent harmless fun, as one unlucky punch can kill a man. In fact, if you recall the English MP who was knifed to death by a jihadi at a church where he was holding a 'clinic' (public availability for constituents), that was one of his pet causes.

Voyager 1 will hit the 24 light hour mark on Nov. 18. Voyager 2 is about 19 light hours away.
As their RTGs degrade, they've had to turn off various instruments according to a priority list. Only 2 instruments remain active on V'ger 1.
They had some glitches with both probes, and made some heroic efforts to fix them, from this amazing distance.

It's unknown how long the Voyager's will continue, but 2036 is the hard deadline. They will both be out of range for the DSN by then. Both have been going for just under 49 years now.
Anyway, they'll soon be on "eternal patrol" we'll call it, headed out to wander forever through interstellar space.

Those golden records are just that, phonograph records. They included a needle for playback. On the cover were some instructions on how to play it. It contains images as well as audio, and they included diagrams for any aliens showing how the image information was encoded.
Now, the challenge is, how do you communicate this information to aliens, who could well be really different. The assumption is that mathematics and the fundamental constants of the universe would be a universal language.

They also included a map, using various pulsars. Each pulsar is unique in it's frequency. The Sun's position relative to these is encoded, giving the point of origin of the probe.
These things vary with time, but the assumption is any aliens capable of retrieving the records will be able to easily compensate for that.

Well, given how close the nearest star to us is (besides the sun, duh), and the speed the probes are traveling, it'll be a loooong time before those probes approach any star system. We're talking (at current speeds) something like >80K years to Alpha Centauri, if they're even headed in that direction.

The Voyagers aren't headed to any particular star. Their final escaped trajectories were determined by the final passes they made with the last planets, and those were chosen for the best observations of those planets and moons.
Voyager 1 will get to within 1.6 ly of a red dwarf, Gliese 445, and Voyager 2 within 1.7 ly of another red dwarf, Ross 248.
And then, in about 300,000 years, Voyager 2 will get to within 4 ly of Sirius.
Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at July 11, 2026 03:12 AM (w6EFb)
About 40,000 years for those red dwarf "close" passes.
Gliese 445 is about 17.1 ly away from us. But remember, all these stars are in relative motion. And that little sucker is barreling toward us at 112 km/s.

There is a direction, poetically dubbed the Apex of the Sun's Way. That direction in the sky is in Hercules, near Vega. That is the direction the sun (and solar system) is moving relative to the Local Standard of Rest, or LSR.
The LSR is a bit tricky to visualize. The best analogy is imagine a pack of cars going around a big circular track, or hell, just a big pack of cars moving down the highway. There is a mean speed of the whole bunch. That defines the LSR. Now, imagine the "peculiar velocity" of each car relative to that. That speed, and it's direction for the Sun is the Apex of the Sun's Way.
The anti-apex points somewhat close to Sirius.

According to intertubes, Gliese 710 makes it closest pass in about 1.3 million years...and be 10.5K AU. That's inside the roughly 100K AU distance of the Oort Cloud. Expect lots of stuff to be perturbed into the inner solar system at that time...
Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) at July 11, 2026 03:33 AM (l3cgK)
Yes! Going back in the past, there were two recent close passes, recent being in astronomical/geological terms.
70 kya, a star called Scholz's Star passed within about 50,000 AU. 2.5 mya, HD 7977 came within 6 - 10 kAU. They think we're just on the tail end of the shower of comets that sent coming in.

Any comets incoming from that Scholz's star flyby aren't here yet. About 2 million years for them to get here.
They now think close approaches within 50 kAU happen about every 9 million years.

Could be the Younger Dryas impact comet swarm was sent in motion by that 2.5 million year close pass about. Time frame would be about right.
As ol' Randall Carlson likes to say, we're in a shooting gallery. And roughly ever 9 million years, a passing stars increases the incoming. I listened to a presentation of his called "All the Randall you can handle."

I'll have to say, old Billions and Billions Carl Sagan (and Frank Drake) were pretty clever in how the information they included to help any aliens figure our our location.
They included some radioactive material, just a little bit, that would allow the aliens to accurately date it. And the pulsar spin rate would've also changed. The aliens could likely figure that out themselves, as they encoded the exact spin rate of the pulsars on the map, but the radioactive sample gives redundancy.
It tells gives them the point of origin, in both space and time.

Two paddleboarders save a weakening wallaby who somehow got herself swept out into the open ocean. Oh my goodness -- a tiny tree kangaroo has an even tinier joey in her pouch. Hippos sleep underwater but raise their heads and take a breath automatically, without waking up. Or so the fedslop would have you believe. He knows what he did. These babies are hungry! These baby deer are also hungry!
@konstructivizm It seems incredible, but this is a real photograph! It was taken on July 24, 2024, just seconds before Saturn disappeared completely behind the lunar disk. The image creates the illusion that Saturn is hovering right above Glushko Crater--a young, 43-kilometer-wide crater near the Moon's western limb. Of course, the Moon is 400,000 kilometers away, whereas Saturn is 1.4 billion kilometers away. The photo was taken by amateur astronomer Chengcheng Xu in China.

"What do Gen Z MAGA voters under 30 think on foreign policy?
* 72 percent supermajority believe the United States should be “more engaged and take the lead” on foreign policy, while just 19 percent say it should be “less engaged and react to events” — a 53-point spread in favor of U.S. global leadership.
* 74 percent agree that “the U.S. has a moral obligation to stand up for human rights and democracy whenever possible in international affairs.”
* 73 percent of MAGA voters under 30 approve of Trump’s decision to launch Operation Epic fury.
* 59 percent say “supporting the Iranian people in their efforts to secure freedom and democracy” is important while just 13 percent say it’s not.
* 61 percent want to see the Iranian regime either removed or weakened, while just 35 percent say they prefer a “negotiated settlement.”
* 64 percent agree with Trump’s decision to remove Nicolás Maduro from power in Venezuela.
* 60 percent would support Trump using military force to remove the Cuban government from power.
* 60 percent approve of sending U.S. weapons to Israel.
* 62 percent have a favorable view of NATO...
65 percent say that the security of Taiwan matters to U.S.
Posted by: runner at July 10, 2026 08:14 PM (GD0B3)
* 76 percent believe America must remain a “shining city upon a hill because its freedom, prosperity, and democratic ideals serve as an example to the world.”
Bottom line: The isolationists are out of step with Trump and the “America First” movement writ large — and there is no help on the way from the Gen Z right..."

I'm willing to say it's possible. First, we can and do take clear pictures of Saturn from the Earth, so that's not false. The only question is of the proportions between the moon's surface and Saturn, and that's hard to be certain of with such a small portion of the moon shown.

In its equine form the kelpie is able to extend the length of its back to carry many riders together to a gruesome grave. In one instance, several children were enticed into climbing onto a kelpie's back, while one little boy remained on the shore. He did pet the water horse but his hand stuck to its neck and the lad had to cut it off to free himself. He survived but the other children were carried off and drowned, with only some of their entrails being found later.

That shot of Saturn behind the Moon is very real. There are similar shots of Mars during the last occultation. Griffith Observatory out there near LA has lived streamed some of these events, and they have videos from the telescopes tracking it.
That's the problem with the AI slop now. Andrew McCarthy, one of my favorite astrophotographers has lamented how he'll go to incredible trouble to set up a perfect shot, getting the timing and all that planned out perfectly, and then someone says, "Pffffft! AI!".

In the remake, the characters seem colder. Specially the lead, Fassbender. Maybe Prometheus has permanently scarred him 😁

Telescopes are basically huge telephoto lenses. Very narrow field of view, and thin depth of field. This creates a very prominent foreshortening effect. So, Saturn looks very close to the Moon, impossibly close relative to what our own brains and eyes are used to seeing.
You'll see that with telephoto lens. Zoom in on something in the distance, and foreground objects appear much closer to the distant object.

Other techniques that some object to as "not real" are stacking and compositing. It's real images, just many of them combined. This can reduce noise, enhancing the real signals that are there, and bring foreground and background objects each into better focus.
For very dim stuff like nebula, you need hours and days of exposures night after night, and you can bring incredible detail of stuff that's just dim to see, but it's real information in real light.

I’m not a believer particularly in the Mandela Effect.
But I had something weird happen. Bobby Bare, who wrote “500 Miles” was getting on in age and not in the best of health. Periodically I’d check the internet. One day I read that he had died. This did not surprise me, but I thought there would be more news about it or whatever.
Then about a year later I was perusing a music forum site - Steve Hoffman - and by golly, “Bobby Bare Died”. For real this time, I guess. I suppose it was some kind of internet glitch, but it was strange.

Wiper blades should really get replaced once a year. Avoid “heavy duty” or so-called permanent blades, they tend to trash the windshield. Rubber is too hard. (Modulus of Elasticity!) Avoid the cheapes, because they don’t work worth a damn or won’t last a year.

The easiest way to explain it is that you are focusing on an object at infinity. The Moon 🌖 is effectively infinitely far away (as compared with focal length of your lens or mirror) and Saturn 🪐 is also infinitely far away, so you image them both in the same plane in your camera or telescreen, etc.

Then of course there is Beta-lactam rings. Beta-lactam Ring Records is or was a music publishing house out of Portland, back when Portland had a music scene.
It is also an identifying element for a class of antibiotics. I was never clear on the connection, but I could guess.

Yep. And IIRC, they'd say it several different ways, Ringer's lactate, Lactated Ringer's.
A while back they actually gave that to my mother one time in the hospital. The bag phrased it as "Lactated Ringer's solution." That gave me a chuckle. Was Dr. Bracket and Nurse Dixie on call?

Here's what the AI says:
Ringer's solution and Ringer's lactate are both isotonic crystalloid intravenous fluids used for fluid resuscitation and electrolyte replacement. The primary difference is that Ringer's lactate contains sodium lactate as a buffering agent to help prevent or correct metabolic acidosis, whereas plain Ringer's solution does not.

In most places they just chucked you into a station wagon prior to that, and hoped you didn’t die on the way. EMT was a new thing, and “Emergency!” reflected this.
Some places, the Ambulance and Morgue used the same vehicles. I mean, why not right? Saves time.

He got off easy
A gentleman of my acquaintance-
Sir Peter Graham-Moon (you can easily look that up, famous)
"His first wife, Lady Sarah, famously took revenge amid his infidelity by cutting up his Savile Row suits, pouring paint on his BMW, and giving away his wine cellar. The story made national headlines, dubbing him the "philandering baronet."
Actually, she cut the crotch out of his Savile Row suits and cut dozens of bespoke silk neckties in half.
He was somewhat aggrieved that they were in an "Open marriage" and his wife had other men friends, but that was never mentioned.
He was actually quite a good chap, as I knew him. Let me drive his cars and simply liked cars and women.

I'm sitting there like: stop the clock. Trying to will time to stop. Don't get to 12-23. He gets to 12-23 -- and you see him take the shot. He gets back up, and he runs across."

IT'S OVER FOR ROBINSON.

"You see him take the shot."

Erika Kirk asked for us to be here today. We sat inside the small courthouse in Provo with the family. The Judge told the media to turn off all cameras and allowed the full ENHANCED footage of the murder to play. Every movement of Tyler Robinson that day captured in full quality HD. Zoomed in. Some footage in 4K. Tracking all his movements. You can see crystal clear Tyler Robinson's face, the license plate number on his vehicle, details on his clothing and his actions on the rooftop -- and you can time every horrifying detail to the minute Charlie Kirk was murdered. What the public couldn't see was the emotion in the courtroom. Charlie's family sobbing uncontrollably, Erika in Mrs. Kirk's seniors arms. Charlie's father comforting them. Just feet away sat a pale, lifeless emaciated Tyler Robinson who stared at the floor with no remorse as he listened to the weeping. Robinson has never once looked at Erika this entire trial. The entire courthouse gasped when the video was over. Eventually this footage will be released. It was really tough to relive that day in such gruesome detail. This case is overwhelming. Please pray for a speedy trial. And to all the tormenters of the Kirk family, you can go to Hell where you belong.
HOLY SH*T 🤯

President Trump on Friday told The Post he has "left instructions" should Iran succeed in their plots to assassinate him -- and there'll be hell to pay. "I've been on their list for a long time. That's what we're dealing with," he said. "... The only thing is, I've left instructions -- if anything happens, to just literally bomb them at levels that they've never seen before." Asked about recent reports that Israel this week flagged intel of a plot to take out the US president, Trump indicated there was no fresh plan from Iran -- but said Tehran has wanted him dead for years. "No, no. Israel came up with nothing. No, no," he said. "I've been No. 1 [on Iran's kill list] for a long time, and it's the way life is, you know." "I hope you'll miss me," he added, sounding resigned to the reality that Tehran will never stop trying to off him.

> Oh man...just read a post over on SmallDeadAnimals....apparently, there is a new research study that states that anti-depressants (Zoloft et. al) actually contribute to depression, instead of helping patients.
Eh. The paper is actually from 2015. It's not new.
It's a well done paper that's cited frequently and hasn't been retracted. As to the idea that SSRIs "contribute to depression instead of helping patients" this has been understood for a long time IN THE SHORT TERM. Within the first couple of weeks of ingestion, some depressive states can increase, but soon after that the patient will, in most cases, improve over the baseline.
Additionally, the idea that more serotonin = more happiness hasn't been considered correct for a while. SSRIs are still widely regarded as helpful for treating depression with the understanding that their functional mechanism isn't simply boosting serotonin.

I don't know about "with no remorse". At this point the foremost thought in his head is "I am fucked".
He did express "I wish I hadn't done it" earlier. Although with a mindbroken nazgul like him that may or may not count as remorse.

I mean, as far as a preliminary hearing goes, this is a foregone conclusion: there's absurd amounts of evidence to bind him over for trial.
Frankly, I don't know that I see any plea deal coming. Why? There's zero chance he will get off. This is Utah County, and our appellate court systems have lately been all about "maybe there was an error, but so what? It didn't change the outcome so relief denied!"

• liquidated for the sake of reparations
• replaced by foreigners
• plundered of all wealth and dignity
• sickened with C19 then forced the Kill Shot to guarantee death and poor health
• deprived of all religious liberty unless its Islam
• progressive deprivation eg. air-conditioning, travel, meat, speech, association, parenthood, ownership of land or goods, systematic reduction of choice
• children sex trafficked
• helpless perpetual victims of violent crime

From what I understand, they always had two and used a decoy on all foreign trips. I think back to 9/11
I suspect that the recent switch back from the new plane was because it had a new livery and no copy which they quickly realize was not good. No one reported that though.

So say you have an issue with a part. There is a time stamp and date on the part label that let's you then narrow it down from the 1000s of hours from the relevant cameras and see if something out of the ordinary happened when that part was made.
There is no way anyone is watching those cameras unless a watchman is trying to scope drunk cords at night.

It doesn’t have to be explained. It’s well known that these days security cameras that automatically record and archive footage are everywhere. Your ring camera does this…. College campi have cameras everywhere… large corporations, retail stores… they’re ubiquitous. If you were in public today you were recorded. Check out deflock.org
Posted by: LinusVanPelt at July 10, 2026 06:59 PM (z0iLf)
Of course, for USA, it will be much harder to prove who is responsible without them having plausible deniability.
We should just make a list - if Trump is assassinated, we nuke Iran, China, and the DNC.

Personal experience of spending some time in a cam room? There may be one or two guys watching. The main screens in security departments shift from one cam to another quite often. Doesn't mean it's available all the time. Should there have been someone watching because the president was there? Of course. Doesn't mean there was.
Posted by: OrangeEnt at July 10, 2026 07:00 PM (1Ff7Z)
I think one of the Brads (Thor or Taylor) who writes Espionage/Action thrillers had Putin as the guy, who if assassinated would trigger a nuclear response.
I don't think anyone knows if their arsenal actually functions since all "test" in the past few decades are computer simulations.

Home grade camera-based security systems you can order from Amazon come with AI "unusual movement" systems that filter out deer and tree movement. Even Ring doorbells come with that feature that not only describes what is happening and the colors, but will trigger cascading alerts and other coverage security sensors.

Far more than that, there are classifiers that can:
• identify objects (especially if those objects don't belong there)
• tracking of moving objects
• ReID (recognize the same person later)
• Action recognition including poses like reaching for something, or has fallen.
• Rule engines - bag remains unattended for > x minutes
• Anomaly detection including odd behavior.
Much of this is, of course, professional, but also much of it is open sourced and can be run on RPI at home with consumer grade cameras.

The 'black-knighting' of Embrace & Extend. An example is how, when it came out that Deep Staters were conspiring to replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 with Harriet Tubman, someone immediately put out a really awesome-looking mockup of her with a great big pistol, reaching out to take your hand.
There was no logical argument made for them to argue against (if their analytical reasoning skills were not atrophied from disuse), and the emotional appeal was stronger than theirs; yet they couldn't just roll with it, since the hoplophilic message was anathema to them. So, they weakly sputtered and whined, and it ended up going nowhere.

It's a tough issue without a black and white answer.
There's a sweet spot but I know the government will always go beyond that sweet spot even if initially it's forbidden.
Personally I don't feel violated currently by the cameras but I know others do and the world doesn't revolve around me. There's a point though I would feel violated and don't want a foot in the door to get there.

I will never watch, Ace. I know what that bullet did. Because I read the coroner's report that was public information at the time. The bullet hit Charlie's spine and severed his spinal cord with no exit wound. His bone density was very strong from what I remember.

Pretty much true of most security camera footage. And the more there are, the less any human pays attention to them. Same way at my former university. Simply put, they are for recording the crime, not preventing them and the scumbags often know where the cameras are.

I always sort of chuckle when the best security or self-defense advice given is “use external lighting”.
Crooks don’t really care about lights or cameras too much. A well lit backyard just means they won’t trip over the sprinkler.

With CV, alerts are generated As The Event Happens. Home security systems, even the Alexa unit in the house are all capable of detecting intrusion (eg. breaking glass, disturbances in the ambient noise due to a person entering the room).
The point being, humans were always lousy monitors due to focus and attention issues. Same problem TSA X-ray monitors fail to actually detect things. As classifiers become better and the resolutions increase, activity in a Lowes Depot parking lot immediately kicks the ALPR, which eventually associates the car with the credit-card with the user (if not actually hitting a license plate database) inside cameras perform live tracking to determine shopper patterns, and so on and so on.

Hardening the outside of a home is pretty much a science nowadays. Cut back brush that can obscure windows and doorways from the street, cameras, even fake ones, alarm systems, noisy dogs even little ones, hardened doorways with security grade locks exterior storm/security doors with multipoint locking and reinforced glass, etc. etc. etc.
And no obvious tools for entry lying around like ladders, yard tools to break or pry into things, unlocked utility rooms if you have a garage or a pull down entry into the attic, etc.
One really nasty plant to secure a possible entry point is pyracantha--hardy and nasty even with protective gear. It can be carefully trained to climb trellises or be pruned into shape but it is a truly nasty plant with massive spikes.

Eh, the problem with bots is a false positive rate that is too high leads to turning down the sensitivity of the system which then leads to missing more things. You either get more false negatives (crimes) or more false positives (non crimes) and sometimes police departments actually fine places with too many false positives leading to police being sent to that location.

Oh, and Miklos, murder rates are actually down (hard to say on other crimes simply because they may not be reported, investigated, or included in police stats). Murder rates peaked in the mid 70's in the US, another peak around the late 80's to early 90's, a long drop for awhile before starting to go up again with Covid and the late Trump years with the BLM riots.
It is a choice by pols and judges to allow that dysfunction and when they choose otherwise, it goes away for a time.

Campus police departments are understaffed and don't have a bunch of people peering at screens. It is used more often to solve thefts, etc. after the fact than it is for crime prevention.
We see movies and popular entertainment doing that but it is more likely some plod that does a walk around if the automated sound and motion alarms trigger than people sitting in a large room watching screens intently like Mission Control for Apollo.
Most public universities are just too big for that and not enough personnel in safety. Private universities are often worse in security especially the lesser known and funded ones.

Big proponent of layered security. One camera with a set of course grained high sensitivity detection for cars and people. When a zone is triggered, it participates in an election where it provides a vote. Another detection system with a different algorithm also votes. Reduces false positives and you can be alerted for value weighted alerts on your phone before checking the video yourself and vote to promote to armed response or continued monitoring.
Had some stranger trigger one camera that voted, set off the Ring camera — two votes get notification on mobile device while shopping. talked to intruder determined that he got the wrong address. Contacted intended address. Confirmed. No escalation necessary but cameras maintained surveillance

Dogs. They do not like Dogs, not one bit, and will usually move on to someplace else. (Geese, surprisingly are great watch animals. Paranoid, can see in the dark more or less, and don’t seem to sleep much).
Even if you don’t own a Dog, installing a nice heavy Dog chain and a food bowl someplace conspicuous is not a bad plan.

They always had the video. Saw a post where it was listed in the charging documents. The story I am getting is that it was not included in the first videos which were released publicly because the defense objected to its inclusion. Remember how the judge checked with the prosecution to confirm that there was no footage of the shooting in the video about to be viewed?
Also he grumbled about enhancements like zooms and circles added to the videos which WERE released to the public.

Her weird demonic obsession has blunted Charlie's legacy, turn the right against itself, and made us all forget the left wing celebrations of his murder, the media and political figures who incited murder against the right, and the Democrat plans too unleash more of this upon us.

The Week In Woke
Effeminate cuck Jonathan V. Last relentlessly promoted Graham Platner, even calling for him to be the President after winning in 2028. Now he says that no one on the left, and surely no one in leftwing media, is responsible for Graham Platner besides Graham Platner. As the Church Lady wisely observed: "Welllllll, isn't that conVENient." The Democrat operative and Nepo Baby who foisted Graham Platner on the country speaks with an incredibly strange "vocal fry" and "uptalk," like he's a Valley girl. I saw someone speculate that "men" with high-pitched voices affect the vocal fry to try to make their voices sound deeper and more masculine. It doesn't work. Anyway, here's this nepo baby communist freak denying that his "minimal vetting" turned up the Nazi tattoo and they only found "some" of his Reddit posts. And what about Morris Katz, the openly-bisexual freak who wanted to put a picture of his own penis in a book for 10-year-olds about puberty? He's lying:
Jake Tapper
@jaketapper As soon as we asked the campaign about what Jenny Racicot told us on the record and on camera Monday, the campaign said that her assertion he had raped her was false.
I still believe that Noem refused to ban trannies from girls' sports because she knew this blackmail material was out there. So, to hell with her. LOL: Guess which female Democrat politician turns out to be a Karen From Hell, disparaging businesses in her Yelp reviews?
Former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has begun the process of divorcing her husband Bryon following bombshell revelations earlier this year that he engaged in a lurid secret life of cross-dressing and chatting online with fetish models, the former South Dakota governor's mother has claimed. ... The outlet reported in late March that Bryon Noem chatted up women from the so-called "bimbofication" fetish scene, in which adult performers augment their breasts with massive amounts of saline to achieve a "Barbie doll"-like appearance -- and even indulged in the trend himself."
[Regarding a massage joing:] "If you want consistent good service, and want to patronize a place that treats employees with respect, I would never recommend this," she wrote. "I cannot continue in good conscience to be a patron, even though it is a very convenient location and a nice facility." She alleged the business had serious management problems, claiming employees who left the spa were treated unfairly and customers were left scrambling when therapists departed. "Note that almost 1/3 of reviews written are 'not recommended.' Management is hiding a serious problem. I was a member here for over six years, so consider my depth of experience with this place in how you judge this review," she continued. Two other places she reviewed -- Tony Pepperoni Pizzeria and Irvine Yellow Cab, which has since permanently closed -- also suffered, receiving two-star and one-star ratings. On the pizza shop she visited in July 2013, Porter posted: "Horrible service on delivery. I ordered at 4:39. I am told 35-40 min. I call to check at 40 min. Driver on way. I call again at 5:31--52 minutes later. "He says driver will call me. He doesn't. I have 20 angry hungry kids! Pizza was decent when it arrived. But allow ample ample time."It's voluminous spouse-abuser Katie Porter. There's more at the link.
The girl who was victimized by a "trans" athlete says she was repeatedly invited to suck the alleged trans "girl's" dick. Girls are always saying stuff like that.
Well why not report his fake name? Everyone knows it. It's " " " Becky " " " Pepper-Johnson. And the ACLU, representing "Becky," uses "Becky's" name.
For Adaleia Cross, the Supreme Court's ruling in the West Virginia women's sports case was not just a legal victory. It was personal. Cross, a Bridgeport High School student in West Virginia, said the ruling gave her a "sense of peace" after years of speaking out about the transgender athlete at the center of the case. Cross has alleged the athlete made comments to her in the girls' locker room that amounted to sexual harassment when both were students at Bridgeport Middle School. Fox News Digital is not naming the trans athlete because the athlete is a minor.
"I definitely have a sense of peace about all of it," Cross told Fox News Digital after the ruling. "Although I had to go through all of that, and it doesn't make up for what I had to go through, I know that other girls can be protected, like my sister and my friends who are still on the team." Cross also sent a message to the athlete in the wake of the ruling. "Jesus Christ loves [the athlete] and has a place for [the athlete] if they want to be there," she said. Cross and her parents previously told Fox News Digital the alleged sexual harassment occurred in the girls' locker room during the 2022-23 school year. Cross was in eighth grade, and the trans athlete was in seventh. "When Adaleia first told us, she told us that [the trans athlete] was telling her and other girls 'suck my d--k,'" Cross's mother, Abby Cross, alleged in December. "[The trans athlete] was saying to her, coming up and saying to her, 'I'm going to stick my d--k in your p--y and also in your ass.' At different times [the trans athlete] was saying these things to her." But Adaleia said Wednesday that the entire locker room changed after the athlete joined the girls' team. "A lot of girls, after [the athlete] came into our locker room, started going to the bathroom," Cross said. "They started changing in stalls, which was not really normal."
"You would have kids separated to try to not be around [the athlete], but it was still hard because during track meets, you had to be around [the athlete]," she added. "Girls were just uncomfortable." "They didn't want to be around [the athlete]," Cross said. Cross said the discomfort even spread beyond her own team. "I know other teams started canceling coming to track meets, so their girls didn't have to put up with it," Cross said. "It's just really sad to see all that happening." "Girls deserve to have that space," she added. "And it's just been taken away." The ACLU previously denied the allegations.
Adaleia Cross’ homeroom teacher said to her “I see you as less of a person” when she wore a t-shirt that said Save Women’s Sports.

@JenniferSey Adaleia Cross was sexually harassed by BPJ (a boy who says he's a girl). Yet he was positioned as this aw shucks I'm just a girl who wants to play with my friends character by the media. He still is. He's the vulnerable oppressed one according to the mainstream media's telling Adaleia quit sports because of the harassment. Her own teacher said she thought of her as less of a person for standing up for herself. The left is telling girls they don't matter at all.
This gay cruise keeps getting turned away from Muslim countries, and the passengers are shocked and outraged by it.

📣🚨 METROPOLITAN POLICE OFFER UNRESERVED APOLOGY TO GRAHAM LINEHAN AND PAY HIM £25,000 The Metropolitan Police have at long last offered an unreserved apology to Graham Linehan and paid him £25,000. Last September, the Irish comedian and co-creator of Father Ted was arrested by five armed police officers as he landed at Heathrow Airport. His crime? Three gender-critical posts on X. He was arrested, taken to a police station and questioned for several hours. In the early hours of the following morning, he was rushed to hospital after his blood pressure rose to dangerously high levels. The Free Speech Union is proud to have supported Graham in taking legal action against the Metropolitan Police for wrongful arrest and breaches of his free speech rights. General Secretary of the Free Speech Union, Lord Young, has said: "I'm beginning to lose count of the number of cases we've fought in which the police have arrested someone for a tweet, decided to take no further action and then had to pay them substantial compensation for wrongful arrest. "At some point you'd think the penny would drop: police our streets, not our tweets."

What’s being hidden is this isn’t a ‘gay cruise’ so much as a gay sex cruise. The promotional material for the cruise — yes, I checked it out — is a thinly veiled pitch for gays to have endless orgies with strange men, including men on the port countries.
One of the passengers said that some gay bar in Istanbul (does such a thing exist?) was planning a big event for the cruise passengers. What the fuck does anyone think that would be, if not an invitation for white Euros to fuck dozens of swarthy random men?

In it, an old guy with fishing gear aggressively approaches three young women. One of the very first things he says to them is they're stupid and can't read the fucking sign.
Apparently the young women are parked illegally. They tell him multiple times they're leaving and he needs to calm down. Rather than accepting that they're leaving, he decides he has to teach them. He continues to aggressively push the point that they need to obey the rules.
One of the women pulls out a bear mace can.
Eventually the guy aggressively approaches a woman and the woman maces him. He hits her with a fishing pole. The video then repeats from a different angle where you can see the woman he moved toward.
Many of the commenters say she assaulted him, he was walking away, etc. Others feel the need to say the women are dressed like whores. A small percent are on the women's side.
I agree with the small percent. Dude had no business marching around aggressively and lecturing them. They said they were leaving. Move on.

Isn't the maximum depth of the Azov sea about 46 feet, and the average depth is 23?
Panamax needs 45 feet minimum. And the navigable portions of the Mississippi river can accommodate.
The point being, is that the Azov is really suited to barge traffic, not tankers and loaded cargo ships.

If it's not a felony, they can pay the fine, do their time at the work farms, or suffer the lash, the stocks or exile.
We don't need prisons for that.

Those young folks in school need to be trained up in rhetoric and the art of persuasion and logical fallacies.
The reason the degenerates focus on children specifically is because they have no basis to argue formally, and they are taught to obey authority. It is a particularly vile thing they are doing to these kids.
But armed with the ability to formulate arguments and debate formally - they can have a LOT of fun. Because leftists cannot argue in the realm of facts, logic, and reason. They are strict authoritarian control freaks, who resort to mind games and coercion. Failing that, violence of course.

I think it's because my last name has several different spellings, and I have become a bit touchy about it over the years.

The way an anti-depressant works is that it raises the serotonin levels in the body. However, the very best evidence available now suggests people who are depressed actually have higher levels of serotonin in their brains, not lower. TRUST THE EXPERTS!!!!!
This has the potential to be HUGE in a civil liability sort of way. There's cross over with antidepressants into the Attention Deficit Disorder patients as well, where anti-depressants are being used more and more instead of stimulants.

Posted by: mnw at July 10, 2026 04:22 PM (RCjYY)
Yes, and I have learned from looking into potential career reboot options that specifically, Homeland Security Investigations (under Immigration and Customs Enforcement) is heavily involved in the sorts of things that have been making the news lately. Visa fraud, documents fraud, gov't benefits fraud by foreigners, transnat money laundering -- I bet the cash and gold going to Somalia counts here -- and more is in its purview.
The FBI's International Corruption Unit and the U.S. Secret Service also deal with some similar things, and the DoJ's Fraud Section coordinates interagency and international efforts. Then there's all the regular domestic fraud that the FBI deals with, as well as state and local agencies dealing with non-Federal or interagency issues.
Overall, the size of the fraud dictates the size of the response, and I have read that it is highly recommended that people looking at law enforcement careers plan on studying some accounting and computer science as part of their prep.

People that enjoyed the prison scenes in "Lawrence of Arabia"?
Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia)
I rcently eatched a very interesting film called "Sammy Going South," made at the exact same time as Lawrence of Arabia, about a ten-year-ld British boy who gets accidentally abandoned in Egypt in 1956 and has to make his way, alone, all the way to South Africa to reach wha he thinks are his only surviving relatives.
A crucial part of the movie happens when he is staggering across the desert, and is "rescued" by an Arab nomad, who then plans to sell the boy into slavery (the most realistic part of the film, actually). Luckily, the kid escapes.
HOWEVER, in the novel in which the film was based, the Arab doesn't merely try to sell the boy into slavery -- he spends weeks ass-raping him in the desert, trying to turn him into a passive catamite, so he'd be worth more as a slave (a sex slave, obviously).
Needless to say, this being 1962, they cut that part out of the movie. But the author says it was based on real incidents he had heard about.

Eh. The paper is actually from 2015. It's not new.
It's a well done paper that's cited frequently and hasn't been retracted. As to the idea that SSRIs "contribute to depression instead of helping patients" this has been understood for a long time IN THE SHORT TERM. Within the first couple of weeks of ingestion, some depressive states can increase, but soon after that the patient will, in most cases, improve over the baseline.
Additionally, the idea that more serotonin = more happiness hasn't been considered correct for a while. SSRIs are still widely regarded as helpful for treating depression with the understanding that their functional mechanism isn't simply boosting serotonin.

Unshocking: The Biden Prosecutor who "Resigned" From the Federal Government to Prosecute the Fake "Hush Money" Case Against Trump Had His Fingers In All the Lawfare Pies
Trump hush money prosecutor played larger role in federal cases against prez than known, logs showUnrelated: Nick Shirley uncovers millions more in blue state benefits fraud, this time in New York. Fraudsters are billing taxpayers for some kind of "elder care." It's another scam.
WASHINGTON -- The Manhattan prosecutor who led the "hush money" case against President Trump, in which the 45th and 47th president was convicted of 34 counts of falsifying business records, played a larger role in the federal cases against the commander in chief than previously known. Matthew Colangelo joined Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's team in December 2022 after resigning as principal deputy associate attorney general. Colangelo previously served as acting associate attorney general, the third-ranked post in the Biden Justice Department. Defenders of Colangelo tried to distance him from Trump-related activities at the DOJ, but calendar records obtained by conservative watchdog America First Legal and shared with The Post show that he sat in on key meetings about the once and future president.
At least three of those meetings related to the dispute over national security records held at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort that led to his indictment by special counsel Jack Smith. Colangelo also joined a December 2021 meeting concerning the DOJ's position in advice columnist E. Jean Carroll's civil case against Trump for sexual abuse and defamation. Another 12 items on Colangelo's calendar dealt with meetings regarding a subpoena of former Trump White House Counsel Don McGahn for testimony on obstruction of justice findings in former special counsel Robert Mueller's report on claims Trump's 2016 campaign colluded with Russia.
"These records show that the man who delivered the opening statement prosecuting President Trump while working in the Manhattan District Attorney's Office was more involved in Trump-related litigation preparation at DOJ than the American people were led to believe," AFL's Will Scolinos said in a statement.

Remember all those consent decrees? Where a leftwing mayor & city council "coceded" to the DOJ Civil Rights division that there had been a pattern of police misconduct? And "agreed" that the remedy was a lot more DEI hiring, among other "agreed upon" remedies?

Some states had already given up state legislature choosing of senators because of massive, widespread, and constant corruption scandals. Popular election seemed less corrupt.
The amendment was really just piggy-backing on widespread sentiment and an already moving movement away from the established system in the original construction of the nation.
However, I'd rather have average tenured of 4-years senators cycling out because they stole $10,000 or paid $5,000 for the seat (well, 2026, so add three zeroes to both of those) rather than the perpetual tenants in the senate seats who can avoid their comeuppance because 6 years is a long time for the people to remember shitty behavior.

It started under Obama, and Trump was able to do shockingly little in his first term because he was getting bad advice on the limits of his power over the executive.
So, really, it was 16 straight years of leftist rule in the Civil Rights Division.

His changes include:
Making payments based on enrollment rather than verified attendance.
Requiring payments before services were delivered or attendance verified.
Favoring guaranteed contracts/slots over parent vouchers.
These changes didn't start the fraud, but they opened the gates wide for fraudsters to have ghost clients and still get paid.

Most cultures around the world, with the exception of bits of the West, it is not immoral or wrong or in any way considered bad to steal from those outside your tribe.
In some cultures (islam, india, and africa) it is a *virtue* to steal from outsiders. This is ingrained in them from birth. It is in their mythology, the wisdom of their elders, their peers, and their religions. They can not change. This is not to say they are "bad" people, or that it is genetic. It is their culture. It is incompatible.
If we accept them (in numbers greater than say, 5% in any one neighborhood) then we become them. Even in low numbers they prey on outsiders. The only solution is mass deportation.

Look up “Odious debt” when you get bored sometime.
Anyhoo, the debt was never intended or going to be paid off. It doesn’t work that way with governments, and most especially, with a phony baloney currency they conjure out of thin air.
What governments MUST do, however, is make timely interest payments on existing debt. When they cannot, when they don’t, it is GAME OVER.
Check out the percentage of revenues or spending on the interest on the debt. This is why interest rates can never be raised to any meaningful realistic level. There would not be enough money to service the Pentagon or Social Security or HUD or USDA or hardly anything.
Governments default on debt by diluting the currency, generally speaking. Politically it is much more palatable (for them). That’s why you see the more brain-dead politicians suggesting direct cash payments to offset monetary inflation. Yes they really are that stupid.
Basically the government can save the dollar, or they can save the markets. But they can’t save both. No chance.

A couple of thoughts about the OP:
It doesn't matter much to me whether or not the 17th Amendment should be repealed - Corruption finds its way.
What really bothers me is the monolithic MSM corruption that defines itself by its absolute, resolute defense of the Democratic Party no matter how venal and debauched its politicians prove to be. A great deal of this looting and pillaging of the country's treasury might be mitigated if the Corporate Media acted on behalf of the taxpayers' interests instead of acting as the shields and bucklers for the looters.

It isn’t well known, but leftists probably hate the US Senate even more than the Electoral College. It isn’t “Democratic” that tiny Rhode Island or Delaware gets 2 Senators like California or Texas or New York.
One thing at a time maybe, and what is possible at the time, is how they look at it. But at some point this will be a huge focus, and all you hear about. Just like the other “flavor of the month” issues that surrender pop to the top.

It isn’t well known, but leftists probably hate the US Senate even more than the Electoral College. It isn’t “Democratic” that tiny Rhode Island or Delaware gets 2 Senators like California or Texas or New York.
One thing at a time maybe, and what is possible at the time, is how they look at it. But at some point this will be a huge focus, and all you hear about. Just like the other “flavor of the month” issues that surrender pop to the top.
I’m struggling to envision how leftist Democrat Senators will sign on to this, but they will, somehow. $$$ most likely.

Trump's attorney paid Stormy Daniels to go away. Trump's attorney charged Trump for legal services. Trump paid Trump's attorney and labeled the checks "legal fees" or some such and not "obviously illegal election fraud". NY's AG, who ran for office on the platform of fucking over Trump, took him to court and said that each check was a separate felony. The judge made ridiculous rulings in favor of the state throughout the trial. Trump was convicted of 34 felonies. HEADLINES. Trump was sentenced to exactly nothing.
I believe that the convictions still stand because the judicial system is unbelievably fucked.

It's worse than that. It had to be in furtherance of another crime which, in turn, had to be in furtherance of another crime. What was that initial crime, you might ask...
According to the judge's instructions to the jury... whatever you think it might be. You don't have to agree or ever discuss it.
And yet... appeals courts have not overturned it.

Not even narrowing it down to a particular year.
The template for the brave new world is partly drawn from college campuses. The accused are not allowed an attorney. Anonymous charges. Struggle sessions. Expulsion based on he said she said. Sound familiar?
My favorite (so far) was a hapless dorm resident. He had a room mate. His room mate in turn had a girlfriend. Said girlfriend gave him a blow job one evening. Whilst he was passed out drunk, having not provided consent (stop laughing!) nor solicitation and has no recollection of the event.
But, about 6 months later the free lance fellatrix decided she was the victim in this exchange. The poor guy was expelled. No defense allowed, no right of rebuttal or appeal.

I think a lot of it gets dumped into the market, either in the form of rental real-estate or stocks and bonds.
Of course, hundreds of millions ends up in jewelry, travel and high-end luxury cars. To such an extent that I wonder, as the fraudsters are being busted and their assets liquidated to cover the restitution and fines, how is that going to effect car, mansion and luxury item prices and vendors of such.
Is Congress going to create bail-out funds to underwrite the drop off in foreign destination tourism? Will private jet rental market tumble?

@grok
, did the prosecution show a video of Robinson shooting the rifle in court today?
**Yes.**
In today's preliminary hearing for Tyler Robinson (accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk), prosecutors presented high-quality rooftop surveillance video showing him accessing the perch and moving/crouching near the edge at the exact time of the shot. Zooms highlighted his position consistent with firing. Viewed in court by family and public (no public stream).
Adds to DNA, ballistics, and confession evidence. Strong week for prosecution. Next hearing Sept 1.

After twelve months, if the Sailor is still unable to shave and the condition is marked as "unmanageable", this will firmly place them in a "separation due to failure to comply with grooming standards" scenario. Anyone who refuses outright, rather than one who tries treatment and fails, is handled differently, as a military justice matter.
A safety argument has ensued around facial hair, with the service saying it can break the seal on the masks that keep a crew breathing through fire or gas. Behind this argument sits a study the Navy has kept close to the vest.

Marco Rubio Laughs at Tim Walz's Attempt to Shield a Child Rapist from Deportation by Pardoning Him For Raping Children
Homeland Security
@DHSgov .@GovTimWalz and Minnesota sanctuary politicians PARDONED an illegal alien who REPEATEDLY SEXUALLY ASSAULTED A 10-YEAR-OLD. On June 10, the Minnesota Board of Pardons voted to grant Tou Lue Vang, from Laos, a pardon for his 2006 convictions for sexual assault--strongarm sodomy and procuring a child for prostitution. This pardon came just a week before Vang was set to be REMOVED from our nation. During his interviews with police, Vang tried to justify his actions by saying "it is a cultural thing...to marry and have sex with girls as young as 12." Governor Walz's pardon shielded this CHILD RAPIST from removal from our nation. This is the type of DISGUSTING criminal sanctuary politicians are shamelessly protecting.
As Norm MacDonald would say: "I mean this guy is a real jerk."
Oh the Muslim child-marriage-supporting Keith Ellison was involved? What a surprise.
Court files reveal disturbing details of child sex offender pardoned by Walz, Ellison before deportation Tou Lue Vang sexually assaulted a 10-year-old girl for years and told police it was a "cultural thing." Ron Schutz, the GOP candidate for attorney general, said he was "shocked" that incumbent Keith Ellison voted to pardon Vang.
So the pardon was granted precisely to keep this child rapist in the country with access to American children.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison and Chief Justice Natalie Hudson unanimously voted to pardon a Hmong man from Laos who repeatedly sexually assaulted a 10-year-old girl over a two-and-a-half-year period. In his clemency application, Tou Lue Vang argued that a pardon could protect him from immigration consequences, writing: "Without the protection a pardon can provide, I face the very real risk of detention and deportation."
Content warning for the next section, which you might want to skip:
A review by Alpha News of court files and clemency records reveals disturbing details about Vang's crimes and the statements he made to investigators -- raising a question many Minnesotans are asking: Did the state's top elected officials vote to erase Vang's criminal record so the Trump administration couldn't deport him?
Read the whole article, if you can bear it. DHS says "Fuck you, Walz and Ellison, we're deporting all of your foreign invader rapist pals."
Criminal complaint details repeated abuse According to the 2005 criminal complaint, the girl told investigators that when she was in fourth grade, Vang -- who later married her sister -- entered her bedroom. The complaint states: "[Victim] said that Vang sat down beside her, reached his hand into her pants and touched her vagina ... She said that he put his fingers inside of her vagina and then pulled down his own pants and asked her to touch his penis, which she did. He then penetrated her vagina with his penis." The girl told police the assaults occurred at least "four or five times." The complaint also notes: "She recalled one incident when he came into her bedroom, put his penis into her mouth and ejaculated."
Homeland Security
@DHSgov .@ICEgov has DEPORTED Tou Vang, the illegal alien CHILD RAPIST @GovTimWalz pardoned in an attempt to allow him to remain in our country. While Walz and his fellow sanctuary politicians fight to protect heinous criminals like this, we will continue putting the safety of the American people FIRST.
Laotian national Tou Lue Vang was convicted of sexually abusing a 10-year-old girl in Minnesota.

DHS has a system.
They immediately fly arrested individuals to the 5th Circuit. The immigration judges deny every asylum claim (it's like 98% rejection as opposed to the historical average over the last couple of decades of about 80-85% acceptance). 5th denies every habeus claim (it's like 95% of those). Habeus claims have to be filed in the circuit they're being held, not where they were picked up. And then they're deported.
Average time is less than 30 days, and that's including the people who actually can slow down the calendar.
With a political hot potato like this guy? Accelerate the process and get him on the next plane.
For every headline about an immigrant being allowed to stay for whatever reason, it's literally thousands of others who are just getting shipped out.

This is true.
The Judiciary Acts that formed the lower courts and subsequently modified them are explicit that district court judges have zero jurisdiction over immigration matters.
I'd love for some kind of real punishment for judges that exceed that jurisdiction.
But the best punishment in our current system is always going to be impeachment, and we need 14 Democrats to convict in the Senate, so nothing happens.
A modification of the Judiciary Act that gives SCOTUS authority to fire judges who operate outside of statutorial bounds would be a not bad addition, I don't think.

I've got an elderly relative (even more elderly than me, as hard as that might be to believe) who:
Does not like illegal aliens
Thinks abortion is murder
Hates high taxes
Does not believe dudes in dresses are "women"
Votes a straight D ticket every election. Why? Because they're "for the little guy" and that's what his Daddy did.
Trying to persuade him that today's Dems are a long, long way from Scoop Jackson, or even JFK, is utterly pointless. I gave up trying years ago.

If I remember correctly, consolidation of DHS resources, reductions in overall facilities because people are in custody for much shorter periods of time (average time in custody went from something like 60 days to less than 30 over a few months).
When you're getting people in and out in less than half the time, you don't need as many beds.
Every indication is that deportations are up bigly, especially since Mulling took over from Noem.

Many just have no idea of paradox of non-hierarchicalism: there must be at least one hierarchy:

I think Noem tried to do well. The deportation machine did really start under her.
But she also wanted to make it a show. She wanted to make it a political spectacle, a political spectacle starring herself.
Mullin has taken a different approach. He's taken the groundwork Noem started, and just dialed down the exterior volume. Raids are smaller with less fanfare, for instance. They're still happening everywhere, but we don't have the head of ICE going into a city in a convoy on TV.
And deportation flights are much, much higher now.

Supposedly, the Nazi Rapist With Officially Withdraw His Candidacy on Monday -- the Very Deadline for Withdrawing
Monday? The very last day possible?
Is he for real? I mean, he might just say on Monday: I didn't get the "reassurances" I wanted so I'm in it to win it.Halperin said no special "paperwork" is needed -- a simple email to the Secretary of State, announcing a withdrawal, will do it. So why does he need the weekend to compose an email?
Graham Platner privately told staff that he is planning to officially file paperwork to end his Senate campaign on Monday -- the drop-dead deadline for him to exit the race.
LOL. If he stays in the race, I might just support him. What a troll that would be. Stay strong, stay brave, King. Platner was recruited and promoted by two Democrat operatives: Morris Katz, a bisexual who proposed including a picture of his penis in a book intended for children to explain puberty to them, and Daneil Moraff, a nepo baby heir to the Toys-R-Us fortune who did what most nepo babies do and decided communism was a great idea. By the way, rich bitch nepo babies admire socialism and communism because they know, first hand, that some very wealthy people did not work a single minute for that money and do not deserve it. Of course, they universalize from their own narrow experience and construct fantasies that no one else earned their money, either, which is a Comforting Cope for them because it lets them believe that their own experience of doing nothing, creating nothing, contributing nothing yet being massively rich is a common thing. Now, if they feel guilty about being undeservedly rich, they could give their money away to charity. But they never do -- they want to continue enjoying the benefits of immense, unearned wealth. So what they do instead is push for socialism and communism, while continuing to enjoy the fruits of capitalism. They get to "do penance" for their massively-unearned massive wealth by agitating for socialism while actually giving up precisely nothing. Win-win, huh? Except for everyone else.
Why it matters: Though Democrats largely appear to think Platner is done with his bid, his last-minute timing is likely to cause a final pang of anxiety within the party.
Driving the news: Platner made the comments to his team Wednesday night shortly before he announced publicly he was suspending his campaign. "On Monday, I entire -- I intend to file the requisite paperwork with the Secretary of State to remove my name from the ballot," he said, according to a person on the call. Under state law, Platner has until Monday at 5 p.m. to drop out of the race in time for the party to replace him with a new nominee. As of about 1 p.m. Thursday, Platner had not officially withdrawn from the race, according to the Maine Secretary of State. "No official withdrawal notice has yet been received from Mr. Platner," said Jana Spaulding, deputy secretary of state for communications. "A public declaration is not an official withdrawal, and a candidate must formally withdraw to the elections office in writing, including signature."
Anyway. Democrats are pissed at this pair of political hustlers for foisting the Humble Oysterrapist on them, and they're opening all their dirt files on the two. This report suggests a reason for Daniel Moraff not being too distressed about Graham Platner's history of rape and sexual violence.
PA. - Yesterday, Payday Report learned that Congresswoman Summer Lee barred Moraff from her 2022 congressional campaign after receiving at least three complaints of sexual misconduct against Moraff. Now, Moraff, who recruited Graham Platner to run for Senate in Maine, is at the center of a massive controversy after he admitted that he spent only a few days vetting Platner, who just withdrew from the Senate race after he was accused of rape. Given the fact that both Congresswoman Lee and Justice Democrats stopped working with Moraff following these accusations, questions have been raised about why so many on the left trusted him to give a thorough vetting and assessment of Platner. "Birds of a feather, flock together and Moraff and Platner were predators," said one woman, who says she was sexually harassed while working to elect Congresswoman Lee.
Obviously he's trying to save face but it's also kind of hilarious that Platner talks such a big game about being a people-powered movement and giving the middle finger to the establishment but then his ostensible excuse for quitting is that he won't get DSCC money. https://t.co/rabU4vzC3v

I don't see much meaningful differences between Fascist, Socialist and Communist governments - obey the state or face negative consequences for offending the state - other than varying degrees and scales of punishments. But everyone says one is Evil Far Right Wing and the others are maybe a little center left or a tiny bit further left than center left (never Evil Far Left Wing). So where does a limited government whose primary job is to protect the God-given rights of its citizens belong on this particular Left/Right scale? It doesn't.

They can't force him to drop out of the race even though he has said he would. There is zero downside for him staying in the race other than the dnc will not give him any money.
I am pretty sure that he will bank a ton of $$$ from individual donations across the country. Heck I would bet his donations will go up if he decides to stay in the race and thumbs his nose at the democrats.

They're all over X about how "the judge confirmed Trump committed rape."
What is the date of this rape?
Or even the year, ffs?
How was it "confirmed?"

I keep saying this has nothing to do with beating Collins. There is far more bad shit to come on Platner (we all already knew that so this is not new information or something I have just decided). Team Trump fights and according to you so does Collins. If he stays in, they risk the entire party being branded with him like we have seen done once with Todd Akin - Trump is kind of good at that. Therefore they need him out and he will withdraw.

But "suspending" isn't enough to trigger a replacement.
Shit Nazi knows this. He's might just be dragging out the clock until the deadline. At that point, he can make up some bullshit about how his supporters begged him to stay in, or whatever, and he doesn't formally drop out.

A DU commenter has some thoughts:
"If you sit this one out ( Joy Reid on Platner )
{blasphemy removed} How did staying at home because Kamala wasn’t perfect enough on every single issue work out for you? These insane a-holes aren’t just destroying our democracy, they’re destroying your children and grandchildren’s planet.
And you’re going to stay home because you didn’t get your preferred candidate? WTF, WTF. WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU !!
It’s going to take decades to recover from this current mess and you want to extend it. !?
A Randi Rhodes used to say, you fall in love during the primaries but you fall in line for the general election. It’s gotta be vote blue… I have voted for democratic candidates that weren’t my cup of tea because any democratic candidate is better than any republican. Yes we’ve had really abysmal candidates but if you haven’t learned by now that staying home is a vote for republicans then you’re beyond help. {blasphemy removed}, if you’re don’t think things can get worse then you’re delusional."

I think Trump is setting up a marker for 2027 when a lot of those names listed will be gone. It will also inspire the MAGA turnout in the remaining races, be good as a club on Democrats, etc.
Pushing an 80/20 bill and not letting it be forgotten like Capitol Hill wants is good politics and it also soaks up a lot of other mischief that 'bipartisan' reach around across the aisle bullshit that the GOPe normally tries to do just prior to elections to reward their donors and Democrat buddies.

Pushing an 80/20 bill and not letting it be forgotten like Capitol Hill wants is good politics and it also soaks up a lot of other mischief that 'bipartisan' reach around across the aisle bullshit that the GOPe normally tries to do just prior to elections to reward their donors and Democrat buddies.

Even with a 52 seat majority, I suspect a stronger effort to pass the SAVE Act next Congress.
Murk being the only known scapegoat left, it'll diminish the excuses the hidden ones have to suddenly oppose it when they've given it support for 2 straight years.
Plus, there will be people like Paxton suddenly in the Senate making lots of noise about it to join people like Mike Lee.

It's an Overton Window scam, and always has been.
Fascism is Left Wing; Communism is Far Left Wing, and the Regulatory State is Center Left. The Right Wing is various shades of Anti-Socialism. Pretending that a form of socialism is far-right is just a cheap, transparent gambit to try to make anti-socialism unthinkable.

"Right-wing" is a bag that conservatives and traditionals dutifully hold out so that leftists can dump "fascism" into it.
I reject the bag labeled "Right".

Stephen Gutowski June 11, 2026
"The candidate Democrats are counting on to help flip the United States Senate explained some of his views on gun policy this week.
On Monday, James Talarico joined the Cogdell Law Uncensored podcast and described where he stands on firearms. He outlined his beliefs in broad strokes but didn’t provide many specifics. He implied he would go against party leadership on the issue, but didn’t give a specific example of how–though, he did decry “people on the left who are trying to take away people’s guns.”
“We have a right to bear arms, to protect ourselves, our families. We have a right to own weapons for sport or for hunting,” Talarico said. “But like any freedom in the Bill of Rights, it’s not absolute.”
The comments reveal part of Talarico’s strategy in his race against Republican nominee and current Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton."

Oh No! Trump's DOJ is Prosecuting the Frankencientists Who Created Covid, Shut Down the Earth, and Killed Tens of Millions
And The Atlantic is alarmed by this justice-seeking behavior.
Lab-Leak Payback Has Begun"Payback"? Oh right, because any time a liberal is prosecuted for his notorious crimes it's just "political payback" from Trump. The endless prosecutions of Trump, on the other hand, were Just Some Good Prosecutin'.
Indictments, subpoenas, and debarments are hitting American scientists embroiled in the controversy over COVID's origins.
You mean the same way that Fauci and his paid shills insisted the case was closed and it was a conspiracy theory and "racist" to question him? He was Science, after all.
By Daniel Engber The origins of the coronavirus pandemic remain contested; the evidence is incomplete. But pundits, activists, and members of the Trump administration have long insisted that the case is closed, and that the virus slipped out from a lab in China. They've maintained the view that U.S. scientists were involved and later tried to hide the facts. They've said that justice must be served.
Good stuff, this "payback."
Now the reckoning they want appears to have arrived. An expert on the flu got hauled off by the FBI. A coronavirus researcher was indicted in Detroit. Two prominent virologists stepped down or were removed from senior roles. And a fifth infectious-disease researcher--Anthony Fauci, the central figure in an alleged "lab-leak" cover-up--was recently subpoenaed to appear before the U.S. Senate. ... The first case was Ralph Baric, a 72-year-old virologist and bat-coronavirus expert at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Baric worked closely with researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which many adherents to the lab-leak theory posit as the source of the pandemic; one contingent thinks that Baric might have been the creator of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. On April 15, the NIH, which has in the past provided Baric's lab with hundreds of millions of dollars in research funds, referred him for debarment from all federal contracts for at least three years. The claims against him focus on some inconsistencies in paperwork and a series of decade-old experiments that the agency says were carried out in violation of a pause of a "gain-of-fuction" research. Baric told Science magazine's Jon Cohen that he's fighting the debarment, and that he'd been targeted on account of the furor over COVID origins; he appears to have retired from UNC on June 1. (Neither Baric nor the Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees NIH, responded to requests for comment.)
The day after the government kicked off Baric's debarment proceedings, David Morens, a 78-year-old influenza specialist and one of Fauci's close advisers at NIAID, was indicted for conspiring to hide or falsify discussions of coronavirus research grants. "We have to keep all communications like this on private email so that it can't be retrieved via a FOIA," he wrote in one message from 2021. On April 27, per Cohen's reporting, armed federal agents in bulletproof vests arrived at Morens's home in Chester, Maryland, and handcuffed him in his underwear. Morens pleaded not guilty to the charges. (The FBI told Science that this description of the arrest was "inaccurate"; Morens's attorney declined to comment for this story.) Just a few weeks later, news came out that the acting head of NIAID--the virologist Jeffrey Taubenberger, a very close colleague of Morens's--had either stepped down or been fired from his role. He and Morens had worked together on more than 60 academic papers, including 13 that also list Fauci as an author--and both had been on the radar of the lab-leak hard-liners. (Taubenberger did not respond to a request for comment.) News also broke in May that the FBI was investigating another NIAID virologist, Vincent Munster, who had been called out for collaborating with Baric and the scientists in Wuhan. Since then, prosecutors have filed an indictment charging Munster and another researcher from his lab with a conspiracy to smuggle mpox into the U.S. and with making false statements to federal agents. The government claims that on January 25, Munster and that colleague arrived at an airport in Detroit from the Republic of the Congo with a black plastic case containing samples of the mpox virus, seemingly deactivated and noninfectious, and that they both lacked proper documentation for these materials and misled the customs agents who questioned them. The two virologists have pleaded not guilty. (Munster's attorney did not respond to a request for comment.) The strongest argument for connecting all of these cases is that lab-leak activists themselves have done the same. Anthony Bellotti, the founder and president of the White Coat Waste Project, an animal-activist group that has leveraged the lab-leak theory in pursuit of its goal of ending all taxpayer-funded animal testing, declared that "Morens' indictment should be the beginning--not the end--of long-overdue lab leak accountability at NIH." Just two weeks before Munster was indicted on charges that seem to have no connection with the pandemic, Bellotti's group joined the right-wing activist Laura Loomer in hawking what they called a "whistleblower report" about the virologist's alleged misdeeds. That document describes Munster as a "Fauci acolyte and all around egotistical, arrogant foreigner that joined his research project (to aerosolize covid virus) to Ralph Baric's project (to weaponize it)." I could find no evidence that Munster, who is a Dutch citizen, ever worked on a project to "aerosolize" SARS-CoV-2. In the meantime, Senator Rand Paul has linked Munster's name to an early draft of a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency grant application, with Baric listed as a principal investigator, that proposed to gauge the spillover risk associated with bat coronaviruses. The project's ultimate goal was to limit that threat but involved altering the viruses in ways that might have made them more infectious--and more like SARS-CoV-2. (The final version of that proposal does not mention Munster, and the extent to which he knew its details are unclear.) If you believe, as Paul and others do, that this unfunded DARPA project may have been a blueprint for generating the pandemic virus--and that, one way or another, virologists' disregard for biosafety helped cause the deaths of millions--then seeking justice would be natural. If you're also sure that COVID got its start in studies funded by the U.S. government, and specifically through NIAID, then there is no greater villain in this story than Fauci. Just last week, Paul announced that he'd subpoenaed the lab-leak theory's final boss to testify in Congress at the end of this month. "He has not really gotten his just deserts," Paul said in a weekend interview on Fox. He later added: "There needs to be repercussions." A hearing is one of the clearest avenues to pursue such measures: The blanket pardon that Fauci received from President Biden wouldn't cover any charges of lying to Congress that arose from new sworn testimony. (Neither Fauci nor Paul responded to requests for comment.)

This is why I harp on deportation numbers. I bring them up. All the time.
People freak out about Maryland Man or Columbia kid, screaming about how since those two are tied up legally and aren't deported yet than nothing is happening.
But while those minor dramas have played out (costing the left literally tens of millions of dollars in legal fees), the admin has forcibly deported 900,000 others (3-4 million others probably have left on their own).

"Prime Minister Mark Carney was given a personalized, engraved pistol and live ammunition by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan as he departed the NATO summit in Ankara on Wednesday.
The Prime Minister’s Office confirmed all NATO leaders received the unusual gift from Erdogan.
Global Affairs Canada said in a statement to reporters travelling with Carney that the gun has been turned over to the RCMP.
“The gift in question was provided to every NATO leader and is being transferred to the possession of the RCMP for decommissioning. The ammunition remained in Türkiye,” the statement said."
Meanwhile, Carney is protected by the RCMP with MP5's (machine guns)

Sometimes you’ll hear people pointing towards the “De-Nazification” of Germany as analogue to things, like cleansing the Communist infiltrators in the. USA.
Well in point of order, what the military planners in charge of post-war Germany found, it was damned tough to find anybody competent who wasn’t associated with the regime. Now what?
And the US government imported thousands of chemical, biological, and propaganda warfare specialists to America under the aegis of the “Paperclip” program.
We like to think of the 1950s and Eisenhower era as some sort of halcyon time, but there was some really super skeevy shit going down under the radar. I would argue the 1960s were the product of that to a large degree, between the longer established Frankfurt School communists embedded in Academia, and the unregulated and no oversight spooks in the alphabet agencies, no society has been fucked with more than that huge cohort sometimes called the Boomers.
You can see the fingerprints or all these machinations right now, here today. The stuff we argue about, and wonder “how did this happen!?”
Well, it was made to happen.

72% of Maine Democrats voted for Platner after The NEW YORK TIMES told them that he had sexually abused a woman.
If they want to hold onto this argument, it's that the establishment of the party is keeping back the insanity of the base, denying its own voters a say in representation. And that that's a good thing because Democrat voters can't be trusted.

I read an argument that Roswell was actually two related things the government didn't want to talk about at the time:
The US government working on top secret radiation detection balloons (the supposed spaceship) and was doing radiation experiments on corpses to see the effect of radiation on human tissue...conducted with a fair number of German/Paperclip scientists.
Note later we detected the initial Soviet nuclear tests with radiation detection balloons and there was a scandal a few years later when it came out that the US had been using corpses that might or might not have been legally acquired for radiation testing on human tissue.
So the argument goes letting people believe it was aliens instead solved a bunch of problems and that's why the government kept acting like they were hiding an alien crash site...

Early on in the debacle, rumor control had it that the “leak” was initiated because of dumpster diving. “Gain of function” essentially means passing the virus back and forth repeatedly between animals many many times and needs a lot of them. The idea is to accelerate mutation. Rinse lather repeat, with the mutated version.

Internet media on the right is based a lot on rage clicks which eventually demoralize and demotivate voters on the Right.
You can get okay information from even crappy left biased sources but you have to read carefully with prior knowledge from other stories in the past plus the relative credibility of the source--some will lie with abandon, others will lie by more subtle means like omission.
Clickbait rage stories on the right however, are simpatico with ideals but it leaves the impression that a) these specific instances are the general rule, b) that nothing can be done about it. So impotent rage eventually leads to disengagement and depression in the long run.
Go to original sources, even leftist ones, first and then you can weigh the credibility and usefulness of any right commentary on it. Unfortunately, as someone said here yesterday, the media on right have scant interest in reporters but a lot on commentary using msm materials.

Why do I think this? Just look at the videos of the Wuhan lab and the supposedly careful and dangerous work they were doing. The lab was a joke -- less secure and safe than a high school biology lab.
Experimenting with dangerous viruses in Wuhan would be like splicing BSL-4 pathogens in an open-air kiosk inside a mall. There's no way anyone really believed the Wuhan lab was capable of doing any real work on viruses. It wasn't supposed to. It was intended to suck up money.
But somewhere along the line, the Bat Lady actually went and created something. Of course it got out. What wouldn't have escaped that lab? There were almost no containment or safety protocols in place.

The initial argument was that the clot shot stopped the spread of COVID. So they could mandate you not go to the office or a movie or something without the clot shot because then you could spread COVID.
Of course shortly it came out that Moderna and Pfizer faked their effectivity data and the line became no the clot shot won't stop you from getting COVID it will just make you less sick when you get it.
But...they kept all the clot shot mandates in place even after they agreed the reason for them was bullshit

Remember, Chuck Schumer personally recruited Janet Mills months before the primary and even before the Nazi tattoo was revealed, funded her, and watched her wither and die as the leftist base (led by the socialist coalition within the Senate like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders) funded the Nazi-tattooed rapist.
It's an argument against Warren, Sanders, and the base itself.
It's an argument that the Democrat base is insane.
"Our side polices itself," the left insists.
"No, your establishment polices the base. The base keeps making the decisions to put up Nazi rapists, and the moderate ones have to use all of their power to deny you your voice in your own party's processes."
It's a demoralizing argument to be used against them.

This is totally illegal, you cannot force people into experimental medical trials. Arguably the DOD has a workaround.
USC Title 18 is clear enough. Even the appearance of coercion is unlawful. “We’re not forcing you to take the vaccine. You are free to quit your job and get one somewhere else!”

The origins of the coronavirus pandemic remain contested; the evidence is incomplete. But pundits, activists, and members of the Trump administration have long insisted that the case is closed, and that the virus slipped out from a lab in China. They've maintained the view that U.S. scientists were involved and later tried to hide the facts. They've said that justice must be served.

It takes time, it takes prior knowledge so harder to persuade people to get up to speed, conservatives are generally pessimists going way back to the FDR administration about the coming victory of Socialism/Communism, now Islam.
A lot of people want to deny their own agency in political matters because it is far easier if 'nothing can be done" or "we have lost already." Or some other crappy nostalgic view on what was lost in the unrecoverable past. We can only move forward and we do have agency, each and every one of us and nothing is inevitable--it is always a choice by those in society at the time to curl up and die or fight for another possible win.
As Churchill said about England (for spergs, not exact quote but near enough), nations that go down fighting may rise again but nations that surrender don't.

Iranian propaganda is the newest thing.
Iran says it controls the strait and that everyone will pay them billions in tolls per vessel.
And a shocking number of people instantly believe them. Instantly (bonchie is a really bad example of this).
No critical thinking about, like, how Iran will impose tolls when ships take the Omani side of the strait, or how the actual transfer of payments would happened to a sanctioned nation, or how they would actually enforce it. Nope. Just, total belief.
And then total disbelief that the US might have completely destroyed Iran's ability to project force beyond a diminishing number of GPS guided drones and dudes with AK's in fishing boats. And the belief that Iran will have a peer military in a couple of months from imports from China over a railway that takes weeks to travel, is not contiguous, and is easily targeted.

Because Scotus, at its heart, has had Federalist Society appointees for the GOP and rabid leftists for the Democrats. Federalist Society types are judicial restraintists and corporatists in nature, the left are different shades of commies. So other than the rare justices like Thomas and Alito and perhaps Scalia at times, the gumption to throw aways decades or even a century or more of bad law is simply not within the abilities of Federalist type society members like Kavanaugh, Roberts, or ACB.
Stare decisis should never 'preserve' bad readings of the US Constitution--should never negate clauses that the current legal or political community don't like such as the contract clause, the privileges and immunities clause, the 9th Amendment, or other provisions like the guaranty clause. Words in a Constitution have to mean enforceable language regardless of some cowardly or evil court rulings in the past that say the opposite or twist a common definition to win a case majority.

Knew a guy in the hospital for covid and they pushed that shit in him.
He was reasonably close to dying of kidney failure among other things. His wife finally demanded they take him off that shit and change his treatment. He was released a week later.

I don't see much meaningful differences between Fascist, Socialist and Communist governments - obey the state or face negative consequences for offending the state - to varying degrees and scales of punishments. But everyone says one is Evil Far Right Wing and the others are maybe a little center left or a tiny bit further left than center left (never Far Left). So where does a limited government whose primary job is to protect the God-given rights of its citizens belong on this Left/Right scale? It doesn't.

Neither do I. The concept "ideology" wraps them all together so well. It's all about replacing working structures of human communities and substituting theories on how it "should work".

"Right" and Left is one of the biggest scams of the ideologies foisted upon us. There never was a "right" except as a collection of politics that didn't want to go all the way to communism.
The fascists want to get off before the dissolution of the State. That's it. They don't see an alternative to the State.
Fascism is a theory about the role a government should play. The Marxist "Dictatorship (In the Name) of the Proletariat" is similar.

No. Its pretty straightforward criminal logic. You make the disease. Know its DNA. You design a vaccine. You let the disease lose, and you monetize the cure. Instant billions.
One of the Wuhan guys filed for a Covid vaccine patent within a month of the outbreak. Way too fast for him to have gotten the sequence in the wild and then figured out the DNA and then figured out a vaccine that worked. Not that long ago, that same guy happened to fall off the roof of the Wuhan Research Bldg. Odd. I suspect as the information continues to come out, more such people will have unusual slip and falls, or bathing with toasters incidents. It is likely that this is an OP between the chicoms who bought and paid for several key individuals using the gold trap of billions in vaccine revenue.

Two Churches Firebombed In Mamdani's New York City By, Get This, Illegal Alien
He's yet another foreign scumbag mental patient, or, as the leftwing communist media calls him: "Queens man."
NYPost:They were churches not mosques.
Crazed maniac hurls Molotov cocktails at two NYC churches -- then goes on profane rant in shocking courtroom outburst
A twisted Queens firebug was busted for allegedly hurling Molotov cocktails at two Queens churches late Wednesday -- part of what prosecutors believe was a disturbing seven-incident spree. Yogesh Sayrange, 36, -- who ranted like a madman in federal court on Thursday -- admitted to tossing fiery projectiles at the Iglesia Bautista El Mesias church in Ozone Park, and the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses on in Woodhaven, along with other locations, according to cops and the feds. "Yea, I f--king firebombed them," Sayrange allegedly told investigators about a separate bombing of a deli, adding with out explaination: "They're Muslims, scum and terrorists."
New York will fight like a tiger to keep this Cultural Enrichment Officer in the US.
He he continued his manic, nonsensical rantings as he was hauled into Brooklyn federal court Thursday for arraignment on charges of allegedly tossing another makeshift device at a smoke shop on Fulton Street while wearing a distinct Guy Fawkes mask last week, prosecutors said. "You're protecting them, you dumb c--t," Sayrange seethed at prosecutor Ashlyn Miranda. "I'm saying it to this retard here." "The government is a criminal syndicate," he added as the marshal's handcuffs clicked behind him. By Thursday, he only faced official charges in the smoke shop crime -- but prosecutors say they suspect that he is involved in seven total arsons dating back to June. Sayrange also allegedly confessed to the June 25 deli arson, identifying himself both with and without the eerie face covering, according to the feds, who are still probing him for all the alleged firebomb attacks. But the accused arsonist vehemently proclaimed his innocence in court -- snapping at Magistrate Judge Lara K. Eshkenazi, who simply asked him if he understood his rights. "I don't stand under you, you stand under me," Sayrange barked. "You're making false accusations and asking 'do I agree with you?" No I don't." Sayrange -- a Guyanese citizen who is considered "unauthorized" in the US because his childhood arrival protection expired -- was ordered held without bail. "It's all fake," he snapped when prosecutors explained the risks he poses if not held. "They're not members of the community, they're criminal cartels," Sayrange ranted. "They're foreign enemies." ... The suspect was located by police -- who found two additional Molotov cocktails in his bag, prosecutors said. "I had two more in my bag -- I was going to finish the job," he confessed, according to the feds. He was taken into custody around 12:10 a.m. Thursday, according to police. Investigators believe Sayrange mostly targeted houses of worship during his spree that began last month -- but commercial locations were also hit, according to law enforcement sources.

They don't care about responding to average citizens nor even businesses anymore just like Venezuela and for the same reason--all the control mechanisms like free and fair elections are broken so the looter gimmedat class of Democrats run amuck.

But the illegal who stabbed that baby in the face at a Walmart after being released from jail for stabbing her father, desecrating a church and lighting its priest on fire was an Hispanic illegal, too.
It's easy to guess "Muslim" on these, because it's a Satanic religion that always tells people to attack churches and synagogues.
But I think for these pure maniacs like this guy or that lady or the tranny school shooters, Christianity is the prevalent, formative societal influence they are subconsciously lashing out against, and when their fancy turns to blood, that's what they reflexively strike at.

Hold On — Was There a Dirty Quid Quo Bro for Graham Platner?
Radio host and Fox News talking head, Clay Travis, who's an attorney, said that Maine's sexual assault statute of limitations is as long as 20 years. This alleged rape happened five years ago.
Travis openly wondered on Jesse Watters Primetime if Platner made a deal with the state's political kingpins, that they would call off prosecutors if their pet rapist would drop out of the race.

They had another nationwide blackout a few days ago. Simply put, they are not particularly strategic anymore and are rotting in place until the system collapses. Something similar is happening to Iran--the two key railroad bridges that link to China, Turkmenistan, etc. were blown up and that means arduous and expensive trucking work arounds when the entire region has a shortage of trucks.
Kazakhstan closed the border to prevent all its vehicle fuel being bought up by desperate Russians. China is bluntly telling Iran to stop its attacks, Bahrain, Kuwait, and perhaps UAE were involved in direct strikes on Iranian positions in the Gulf, etc.
Pieces are moving across the chessboard while our media concentrates on idiocies like trying to disprove Trump fixing up monuments in DC.

🚨 UPDATE: The U.S. House is expected in the coming days to vote on ABOLISHING the seasonal time changes under the Sunshine Protection Act, supported by President Trump
Get it done! This would mean NO MORE changing the clock ☀️
TRUMP following the recent committee passage: "We are going with the far more popular alternative, Saving Daylight, which gives you a longer, brighter Day — And who can be against that — This is an easy one!"
"This is so important in that Hundreds of Millions of Dollars are spent every year by people, Cities, and States, being forced to change their Clocks. Many of these Clocks are located in Towers, and the cost of renting, or using, Heavy Equipment to do this twice a year is prohibitive!"
"I am going to work very hard to see The Sunshine Protection Act signed into Law. It’s time that people can stop worrying about the “Clock,” not to mention all of the work and money that is spent on this ridiculous, twice yearly production."

Cordell Goosby reportedly told a case worker in the taxpayer-funded Washington homeless shelter that he was going to kill someone.
THE NEXT DAY, he allegedly shot and kiIIed Eina, a pregnant mother. This happened in 2023.
Eina's husband, Sung Kwon, is now SUING the King County Regional Homelessness Authority for IGNORING Goosby's threat.
The caseworker allegedly did nothing after he confided that he was going to murder.

Service Businesses with Little or No Staffing; Waymo's Problems Are at the Intersection of the War on Labor Expense and the EV Follies
Dave Guingona told the [TV station] he spent nearly two hours in standstill traffic until a number of Waymo vehicles were cleared from a roadway.Did I mention that these ridiculous vehicles are EVs?
Several Waymo vehicles had to be towed away after the company said their batteries died while they were stuck in heavy San Francisco traffic amid Fourth of July celebrations.I also mentioned that there is a serious downside to putting customers in complicated products without having any employees present who can work with those customers to deal with problems that arise.
“We realized people were getting out of their cars, yelling and screaming at these Waymos because there were no drivers,” he said.A Waymo spokesman blamed his cars’ malfunctioning on “severe traffic congestion”, adding that "Our team is always evaluating ways to strengthen Waymo's resilience in major traffic disruptions." Human drivers do not freeze up and stop operating in gridlock traffic. We may get mad, but we don’t just abandon our cars in the roadway. Waymo cannot say the same. This is clearly a technology that is not ready to be turned loose on city streets if something as common as traffic congestion causes the cars to just stop working in the middle of already crowded roads. In addition, it took several hours for Waymo to scrape together some actual humans that could assist in removing their vehicles from the road, making it the city’s problem to clear the streets. It should be noted that Uber, Lyft, and traditional taxicabs did not abandon their vehicles in busy roadways like Waymo did, nor did they drive over exploding fireworks. Cities should rethink whether a company like Waymo that is habitually derelict in its conduct on public roads should be given access to those roads.
Democrats also demand that the use of fossil fuels be abolished. Doing so would impoverish people in a way that makes Cuba look prosperous. It would also be a form of mass murder. Before air conditioning, tens of thousands of Americans died from summer heat, especially during the prolonged heat waves of the 1930s. As Energy Secretary Chris Wright noted in a tweet on the morning of July 2, just 9 percent of the energy powering the 13-state Mid-Atlantic region was coming from “renewable” sources. Ninety-one percent was coming from natural gas, coal, and nuclear. In Europe, there is also a war on farming, because it is a belief of the climate cult that the petroleum used in agriculture, especially to make fertilizer, is destroying the planet. The “intellectual” class pursuing Net Zero in Europe seems to believe that food comes from grocery stores, not farms; therefore, they see no harm in effectively outlawing farming. Nothing that the DSA is proposing is as radical as the climate cultists effectively seeking to abolish food production, yet Democrats in the U.S. stand in solidarity with the European Net Zero agenda. Starvation is a predictable outcome of communism, yet that is on the agenda of the climate crowd.This piece is not behind a paywall. I’d be honored if you’d give it a read.
My latest piece at The American Spectator: “Two Roads to the Same Communism; Net-Zero Climate Communism Is Just as Much a Threat as DSA-Style Communism”https://t.co/jJDgcKeVEu

It works thusly: You drive to a commuter lot, get out, stand in line, and get picked up by a random driver headed to the same place you are.
You get a free ride to work. The driver gets (with three people in the car) a free trip up the Express Lanes (otherwise tolled at about $50/day, each way) to the place he's driving anyway.
Do the same thing in reverse going home.
A few weeks ago, a driver in a Tesla put on the self-drive mode and FELL THE FUCK ASLEEP!
I yelled at him to please wake up, sir, and he did, but I'll never get in a Tesla again.

Part of the problem is that, while you can set certain standards for distance, lane lines, etc., tolerances are actually very different for different people. I *hate* radar cruise control in all of the rentals where I've encountered it (except one), because it's ONLY option at some distance well outside my safe following distance is to slow down. I'm a maneuvering driver. So, when I'm approaching another car, I check all my mirrors and blind spots and start planning a maneuver to pass the slower vehicle. I use the cruise to maintain my speed until I can accelerate to pass (or just slide on out, depending on traffic) and here it is slowing me down. Far enough back I'm going to be in some other faster guy's way for a bit while I catch and pass the vehicle in front of me.
If the computer is going to drive like someone afraid to change lanes it's going to frustrate me awfully.
(Why, yes, I did learn to fly in formation, and it improved my driving considerably.)

How about being a fan of self-driving trucks? The status quo with foreign, low-trust, low-IQ slave labor as power only truck "driver" and their foreign owned and controlled power only brokers is a total disaster.
Furthermore, California has imposed irrevocable emissions standards on trucks operating in their state. Drayage is probably the most insulting and least paying function a truck driver can do, and given port logistics, self-driving drayage EV trucks would seem to be a Win-Win. The routes are highly predictable, will respond best to the wealth of training data and arguably safer than Pejeet preparing stir-fry while navigating on the highways.

After calling the number, navigating all the recorded options, AI troubleshooting, a fist live agent overseas who could not help (all scripted jargon, speedtalking and not listening), then a SECOND overseas agent who didn't help, he decided to up-sell me on talking to a US-based tech person. Yes, he sold me a plan to get actual help. After balking and calling him out on this, I agreed and was transferred to the US-based tech. The guy walked me through a fix in minutes, I thanked him profusely, then I politely asked him to cancel the up-sold service (he understood why).

Which pretty much all of us predicted as soon as we saw this nonsense go into play.
No-Frills in my corner of Canada has re-done the self checkout area:
- 6 stations
- No carts permitted, only hand baskets or what you can carry in your arms.
- One employee monitoring and "helping".
Still not enough manned cashiers. They have like 10 or 12, and there's only 2 or 3 open, sometimes 5 at pre-scheduled times when they estimate traffic will be heavy.
What really irks me is the self-checkout stations at places like Metro, where each item must be scanned individually, and placed into the weighing area. There you CAN bring a cart, but the weighing area doesn't have enough space to hold a cart full of items.
"We want you to use this system because it'll save us on people, but we'll be arsed if we'll actually make it convenient for you to use it."

Cashier jobs SHOULDN'T support a family. It's low skill.
But our "betters" have decided that it should be $15 per hour.
So now we have 10 open self-checkouts (and 15 more that are closed!) and 2 cashier lanes at Kroger.
I will say that I had zero issues when I went to the grocery store in my hometown while visiting for my mother's birthday. No self-checkouts and no lines either.

Oh yeah. My ISP back when put my number on a list, I guess, after calling multiple times and telling the support person to please go down in their script past all of the simple carp that I had already tested, or that I had already troubleshot everything and I knew where the problem was (it was a recurrent problem, too). I started getting someone who would say, "Let me check which items on my list you've already done, and we'll then get to the other items."
And chat-bots are almost as bad (they're improving). It would be easier to post a checklist, then engage the chatbot once you've narrowed things down.

True, but self-driving is eventually going to happen, and when it does, it will be much cheaper than paying a driver and hourly wage, and food and lodging (included in the driver cost), and self driving vehicles won't get tired and need to rest.

But I very much prefer scan-as-you-shop over any sort of checkout. Instead of loading/unloading/queuing/reloading, all the steps are combined into one: fill my bags, point the phone at a screen, and walk out; maybe someone looks at the top three items. Further, I get to see the scanned price as I load my bags: no surprises at checkout, no waiting for someone to price-check something. Just put it back on the shelf, done. (If I want to have a conversation about it, I can still bring it up, but… I don’t want a conversation about it.)
I can see why owners, in low-trust areas, would be against this; but as a customer there is no contest. Faster, easier, less hassle. I drive out of my way to go to grocery stores that support scan-as-you-go.

Water usage is a distraction from the power usage, specifically how much of it they're pulling down, and what it's going to do to the grid's reliability, and how much it's going to increase people's individual power bills.
Supply and demand is a bitch when aggregate demand doubles or triples, and infrastructure needs time and investment to catch up.
"Bring your own power plant" should have been the response to new data centers everywhere, along with full regulatory compliance with ALL Department of Energy regulations, plus applicable state laws and regs.

It'll be back at Walmart.
Sams has been perfecting computer vision at self-serve checkout stands. If you bring up 12 items and scan 11 or scan 1 twice as a proxy (when there is only one of that SKU in the cart) your odds of being quick checked at the exit is pretty high.
While CV isn't reading the barcodes, the barcodes resolve into product image templates where AI sees a SKU for a bag of Fritos and it expects to see a bag of Fritos being scanned by the customer.
Forget to scan the case of beer loaded on the lower tray — you will be stopped.

You’re riding in your self-driving car when suddenly the doors lock, the route changes and you have lost all control. Then, a mysterious voice tells you, “You are going to die.”
Just as self-driving cars become the trusted, safer norm, eight people find themselves in this terrifying situation, including a faded TV star, a pregnant young woman, an abused wife fleeing her husband, an undocumented immigrant, a husband and wife, and a suicidal man.
From cameras hidden in their cars, their panic is broadcast to millions of people around the world. But the public will show their true colors when they are asked, "Which of these people should we save?...And who should we kill first?"

Tesla isn't doing donuts in the ice-overed mall parking lot, shoving food in its mouth, falling asleep, drunk or distracted by TikTok videos or rowdy children while moving. It isn't trying to ford through flood water covered roadways, pass several cars at once, speed way over posted, crash stop signs and lights, driving through medians and grass strips to avoid stopped traffic due to a wreck.
Don't know, but highly suspect that it won't move unless the oil and tire pressure is right, the brakes and lights work or wipers don't clear the camera from mud and rainwater.
Factor those behaviors out of drivers and how does the comparison look?

Since automation and robots and AI and the rest of it is inevitably going to unemploy millions and hit unskilled or semiskilled (or even skilled labor) the hardest, importing yet even more millions illegally - who have less than zero job prospects - and against the vehement protests of the citizenry borders on malevolent insanity with a bath salts chaser.
We’re also constantly admonished about “the environment”. Importing millions and millions places ever increasing demands on freshwater, more road construction, housing, timber, energy needs, hospitals, sewage, pollution and everything else.
There were 90 million Americans on “food stamps” and other assistance programs, that was probably 20 years ago. “Full employment” my ass. Just because someone has a job doesn’t mean they can support themselves or family. Federal spending has perverted and diverted the normal feedback mechanisms. This is not by accident.

Now I could be wrong here but is that a loaded statistic? They're not exactly gonna seriously collide with one another very often, so every serious collision involving one is ALWAYS gonna involve a non self drive too. So that's 100% of those collisions being counted against non self driving as well, which is on its face stupid.
I'm not saying this means they're not safer, I'm saying the statistic is loaded before the count begins.

But I have to use it frequently because these tightfisted grocery chiselers want to squeeze coal into diamonds, and they only ever have one or two of G-d's intended checkout lines open, with 13 dormant, unmanned ones sitting there eating up space.
If they want to start putting back the dour, unfriendly women to check out my groceries while I try to charm a smile out of their stony visages, I'll be very grateful.

1. I am running on a 15 hour day and I'm not home yet. I want out of that store as fast as possible.
2. I honestly don't care about your memaw's gout or your cousin's parole violation.
3. If I could trust you people to shop properly to where I still don't have to go inside to get what you forgot or couldn't find, I would. But I can't.
4. Amazon FTW.

A very good friend who hailed from the San Diego area once told me that his father carried a sledge hammer in the trunk of his vehicle. Wayne asked him why, and his father related that, as he often had to drive over to Tijuana and most drivers there were uninsured, he liked to have the sledge hammer handy to "even up" the damage in the event his vehicle got hit while over there.

Perhaps I have Archimedes’s problem more than yours; “watching me like a hawk” is pretty much the opposite of what they do. The only real issue I have with scan-as-you-go is when I visit my dad in rural Michigan. Since I only shop there in two-week spreads twice a year, the first time I shop during each visit, I have to draw the attention of the class monitor.
They are not watching me like a hawk.

Now I could be wrong here but is that a loaded statistic? They're not exactly gonna seriously collide with one another very often, so every serious collision involving one is ALWAYS gonna involve a non self drive too. So that's 100% of those collisions being counted against non self driving as well, which is on its face stupid.
I'm not saying this means they're not safer, I'm saying the statistic is loaded before the count begins.

All those stats -- and the stats for self-driving Waymo cars -- are all cherrypicked bullshit. They are based on much slower, mostly urban driving where "serious" accidents are very rare. If you include minor accidents and fender-benders, or if you included more high-speed miles for the self-drive cars, the statistics would be inverted.
It's worth nothing that even in modern cars where the driver drives, there are a whole host of safety systems that supposedly help the human driver. My new car has so many of them I can't even count them. I turn them all off with the exception of lane-change assist.

And Data Centers don't need a huge water treatment plane, and they often can and soon will produce their own non-grid power.

One problem with that is that not everything you have to avoid on the road is another car. You've got gators and other debris and construction barrels and breakdowns and you'll find pedestrians in the damnedest places.
However the news isn't all bad. Kalman filters make it possible to track any number of objects and predict their behavior well enough to avoid them. The tricky bit is telling which parts of an image are a single object and dealing with figuring out which things in an image belong to the road, which to the road environment, and which are obstacles. None of that is unsolvable.
It's an interesting problem that I'd be working on, if I wasn't more actively involved in becoming fabulously wealthy first.

But some guy who was at Disney-Paris had a phone with a temperature sensor on it, and he let it lay on hot asphalt in full sun until it read 51 C (120 F) and then posted it and said “look how hot it was in Paris today!”
And so now the global warming fan club is posting and reposting that picture everywhere they can as “proof”.

Buoyed by recent efforts to teach "Black English" in California schools, a new coalition of activists demanded that "Girl Math" be officially incorporated into the state's K-12 math curriculum. The Girl Math Liberation Front argued that traditional mathematics had been oppressively logical, binary, and dominated by dead white men like Pythagoras for far too long. Instead, they want classrooms to embrace a more inclusive, emotionally intelligent approach rooted in female financial intuition and vibes. "For too long, the patriarchy has forced us to accept that two plus two equals four," said Karen Klipper, a 7th-grade math teacher.

A New York City building owner is trying to get out of paying an eye-watering $35 million verdict to an ex-JPMorgan banker who claimed a shattering glass door left her with permanent brain damage, according to new court documents.
Lawyers for the Madison Avenue building claim hours of new video surveillance of former banking analyst Meghan Brown taken over a nine-month period reveal her claims of incapacitation are a “fraud.”
“Seldom is a farce of the magnitude orchestrated by [Brown] here captured on video and in court documents,” wrote Christopher Theobalt, attorney for 271 Madison Co — who argue the $35.2 million verdict should now be thrown out.

And the thing about the use of self driving remaining selective is a fond fantasy of modern Luddites. More and more people are reporting that they use it essentially 100% of the time. And many of those people are getting 50% off their insurance premium for every mile they let Tesla drive! Insurance companies understand risk.
Remember the two photos of 5th (?) Avenue in NYC from the early 1900’s? The first photo shows the street clogged with horse-drawn carriages, with one automobile in the background. The second, from about 5 years later, shows the complete opposite! That’s what’s gonna happen, IMHO!

Is Madonna the singer's real name or a stage name?
Apparently its real and many people remember it being a stage name.
Personally, I don't care. But those damn bears now that used to be spelled differently.

Yup. If Custer had broken back up to the bluffs and dug in instead of straying out over the Greasy Grass, he prolly would have survived. Major Reno and his men did.

This is a real historical weapon called a Gunstock war club.
It looks like a rifle/musket but is just a club. Supposedly the Indians saw colonists use muskets as effective clubs and therefore designed clubs in the same shape

Silver lining is this: Custer was looking to feather his nest with a Big Win, to further his political career. I think this arrogant, vainglorious fool would have run for President in '80 or '84 (as a Dem, but i covered that under "arrogant, vainglorious fool who wagers the blood of others on his own risky bets").
The heathen Indians might have done better to let him win...

In the face of Sitting Bull's persistence

Just reread Stephen W. Sears' book on the campaign. I would add that several of Lee's commanders didn't perform very well, also that Meade was a lot better general than anybody he'd faced before.

Frederic Remington
This is a pretty public thread; did I miss the land acknowledgement?
"Fight on the Little Bighorn" (circa 1900) is an acclaimed oil painting by Frederic Remington, prominently depicting the famed 1876 battle. It is permanently housed at The Brinton Museum in Big Horn, Wyoming, which offers dedicated exhibits showcasing Remington's iconic depictions of the American West.
The work reflects the exact period when Remington shifted away from literal magazine illustrations toward impressionistic fine art.
He created a few notable works focused on Custer and the 7th Cavalry, including Custer's Last Charge (A Sabre Charge) and a pen-and-ink drawing for Mrs. Custer, though the Brinton painting is his primary large-scale interpretation of the event.
Rather than focusing on a heroic, idealized depiction of George Armstrong Custer, Remington chose to capture a chaotic, dust-filled melee. The style highlights the desperation, movement, and heat of the battle.
The romanticized "Last Stand" themes, the underdogs against overwhelming odds.
He had a wonderful body of work. Would hang this painting.

Trump is supposedly playing hardball by refusing to sign Elizabeth Warren's "Housing" bill, but it becomes law at midnight tonight with or without his signature (Congress hasn't adjourned, so pocket veto isn't in effect.) Trump actually needs to veto that pile of crap that idiot Repubs voted for to be seen as 'doing something' about the housing crisis caused by, among other things, too many illegals not kicked out of the country yet. This bill will turbocharge Section 8 housing, my inner-ring suburb will go to crap and I'll have to move. GOP sucks, and Trump so far isn't protecting us from their stupidity.

The New York State Department of Health issued a historic $544,000 civil penalty against a nurse practitioner for running a massive, $1.5 million fake vaccine card scheme.
She operated Wild Child Pediatric Healthcare in Amityville, charged between $85 and $350 per fraudulent dose and deliberately entered false vaccination data into the New York State Immunization Information System.
State officials found she falsified immunization records for children. In some instances, she handed out homeopathic pellets to parents while falsely logging them as official vaccines for deadly diseases like polio and the measles.
She laundered the proceeds through multiple financial transactions—even using the illicit profits to pay off her home.
Reportedly.

What Custer didn't know was that many of those warriors were equipped with then-modern rifles at least equal to his troopers' carbines. Would Custer have engaged had he known? Almost certainly, and that over-confidence is ultimately what killed him, just as it did Fetterman.

good odds Lee would have won if Stonewall had been in charge instead of Ewell.

I'd suggest that if Jackson was still with the army, there wouldn't have been a fight at Gettysburg at all.
Between him and Longstreet, they would have been able to convince Lee to withdraw to defensible ground between Meade and Washington, and force Meade to attack them.
Meade would have broken his army and Washington would be open for the taking.

According to Sitting Bull's account years later, the battle ended quickly--or at least that part of it under Custer's direct command. 'In the time it took to light a pipe,' per Sitting Bull. Scholars estimate it lasted approximately 15-20 minutes. Could a horse-drawn Gatling gun crew under those conditions--without cover--set up and lay down enough fire to suppress/defeat a mounted force of approximately 2000 men? Doubtful.

The Morning Report — 7/ 10 /26
Good morning kids. With the Iranian conflict still unresolved and the alleged ceasefire all but vaporized along with a few more ships in the Strait of Hormuz and ground targets in Iran itself, the Mullahs nevertheless remain in power, and as such a threat not just to the stability and peace of the region but an existential threat to civilization itself.
. . .the Twelvers want Apocalypse Now, and if they must nuke Jerusalem or Paris, so be it. That’s their ticket to Paradise.Whether President Trump understands this he for sure understood the madness of ignoring and worse the Obama/Biden aiding and abetting of allowing Iran to obtain a nuclear weapons arsenal, the pornographic fiction and propaganda of the JCPOA notwithstanding, and so we along with Israel at least for the time being have put a halt if not an end to that. With that in mind, this story from last week makes zero sense:
It’s their religion, and who are you to question it? Just because fulfilling the Twelvers’ goal might involve eradicating the human race is no reason for you to get all het up about it, as we say here in Texas. . . What’s that? You say you don’t believe they would serenely blow themselves up along with the rest of the world, that they are just bluffing? Do you think that the hijackers of 9/11 weren’t serious?
Reuters reported that the Trump administration has already notified Congress of its intention to approve the sale of US engines worth €613 million for KAAN, Turkey’s fifth-generation fighter aircraft, which is currently under development.First of all, while Turkey and Erdogan are Sunni and not Shiite, the salient point here is that they are first and foremost Muslim. Regardless of the internecine and eternal struggle between those two factions, the ultimate goal of both is for Islam to conquer the world. Erdogan and his cohorts have completely eviscerated a century of progress and westernization brought about by Kemal Ataturk in service of that goal. Erdogan is content, much like Blofeld wringing his hands at the Soviets and Americans duking it out like Siamese fighting fish so that he can ultimately come out on top as the de facto leader of the entire Islamic world and ultimately usher in the age of Islam ruling the world as his legacy. That Turkey is still in NATO is the height of insanity. Unless and until Erdogan and his party are removed from power they will be an existential threat to the security of the region perhaps as serious as Iran. And while they'll hold onto those F-35s the risk of him selling one off to the Red Chinese cannot be discounted. And yet for the President to go forward with this deal is madness. He's either clueless or being ill-advised. I would hope folks like Hegseth and Rubio have his ear and are not the ones encouraging this. As for Rubio, on the plus side, there's this:
The bigger question, however, is whether Washington will also pave the way for Turkey to acquire F-35 fighter jets. Ankara was removed from the F-35 programme in 2019 after purchasing the Russian S-400 air defence system, which Washington argued posed a threat to the aircraft’s sensitive technology by potentially collecting radar data on the F-35. . . Turkey has been described as “the new Iran,” and for good reason. Its reputation has aligned with that depiction...
. . . Secretary of State Marco Rubio has invited the foreign ministers and other senior officials from over 60 countries to Washington, D.C. next week for a summit. The goal? To combat the "resurgence of transnational far-left terrorism," according to Washington Post reporters who say they saw documents related to the matter. ..The aforementioned potential F-35 madness notwithstanding, Marco Rubio is a champ, and I think he may very well become President in the coming years if not in 2028 then perhaps 2032. That is if we can outlast and defeat the Leftist menace here at home.
Unlike the highly structured far-left groups of the past, modern far-left and anarchist extremism relies heavily on decentralized, cross-border networking that is often organized online. Both U.S. and European intelligence agencies have pointed to growing coordination between decentralized Antifa and Antifa-like networks and European autonomous groups, especially surrounding major global events. This often leads to riots, arson, attacks on law enforcement, attacks on infrastructure and symbols of capitalism, and destruction of public and private property.
A recent Cato poll shows that more members of Gen Z, those born between 1997 and 2012, have a positive view of Communism than those who have a negative view with around a third splitting each way. Some of this can be attributed to social media propaganda, the educational system and popular culture and helps explain the young activists flocking to the DSA. 43% of ‘students’ rate Communism favorably and only 29% rate it unfavorably making it clear that the higher educational system isn’t just broken, it’s actively recruiting the next generation into extremism, domestic terrorism and totalitarian ideologies of the most terrible kind. This tracks with other polls showing campus support for violence and suppression of free speech.This is not good, my friends.
Less than half of Americans think capitalism is working as patriotism, support for democracy tanks . . They’re seeing red.So, forget combatting Leftists abroad — the question is, how do we combat Leftism at home if as I fear we cannot rely on the institutions that are supposed to safeguard our liberties have been utterly corrupted, weaponized and turned against us. It's going to get very ugly, I fear. Have a great weekend.
Fewer than half of Americans think capitalism is working — and support for democracy and patriotism has tanked in the last decade thanks to the nation’s pessimistic youth, according to a sobering new poll.
As the nation turned 250 years old, only 48% of Americans believe that capitalism is working well in the US, compared to 60% who said so a decade ago, according to a survey released Wednesday by the Wall Street Journal and the National Opinion Research Center.
Just over half (51%) of those surveyed said American capitalism was working not too well or not at all well, the study showed. The same study found just 12% of Americans believe democracy is working extremely or very well in the US, compared to a staggering 56% who said it is working not very well or not at all well.
Many of those who answered also felt that the American Dream, tying together democracy and capitalism, is further out of reach than ever before.
Just over a third (35%) of respondents said that the American Dream — that if you work hard, you’ll get ahead — still holds true, down from 53% in 2012.

He's trying. He's really trying to right this sinking ship. I applaud him immensely for it. He's the only one that seems to give a rip about what's happening to America. But the Supreme Court has already clearly shown they don't give a damn. What's been obvious and known about the exploited "anchor babies" and birth tourism has been out in the open for a long time. The information is easily available, tangible and obvious as the nose on Klinger's face. They didn't care a week ago. They won't care now. They won't rehear this.

This is Mimetic Theory in action. Those polled don't know what either Communism or "Capitalism" is so the favor of one or the other is not based on any rational or even irrational conclusion — its purely a function of being told to desire Communism and to hate/fear Capitalism.
Look at the framing of how each of these propositions are portrayed. Communism rebels against the Old Order and images are of young, dynamic, out-spoken and upwardly mobile practitioners — "Capitalism" is portrayed as unaffordability, low energy, pollution and hopelessness.
It doesn't matter what the facts are. History has no influence. The population of the US is increasingly amoral and low trust so spiritual influence is towards the dark.
Trump's America 250 is what we need more of. It turns the tables.

And here we've been told for the last few years that Gen Z'ers are much more conservative than those dreaded Millennials (present company excluded). So which is it?
I have no doubt these 43% dummies view it favorably despite their "more conservative" label. They've never been taught what it is from proven, historical fact after proven historical fact. They're know-nothings, but it's not their fault. They've been brainwashed, as we all know, into thinking it's the answer to their lives...without ever knowing the first thing about it. The blame is fully and totally on the shoulders of the communists in academia. From K-12 through higher education. It's a sad reality, but unless our education system is pulled out by the roots, and sprayed with Round-Up, this poison will not go away.

They're being promised that communism will take everything from olds, who didn't earn it, and give it to them.
It never occurs to them that the olds didn't have $1000 phones, 20 or more subscription services to pay for every month, $10 daily coffees, door dash, uber, etc. None of that matters, of course, olds were given a big pile of money when they turned 18 and they won't give it to their monster children (grandchildren) and so we must turn to communism, which will solve everything.

Depends on who is telling the story and when. When speaking of something as course grained as an age group as if it is something demographically homogeneous, its fluid, not static. People hopefully mature emotionally as they acquire new information and as hormones settle. So the 20 something Millennials are not the same as the 40 something Millennials since a lot of life-experience has taken place.

Believing that was one of the biggest mistakes I’ve made; over the last few weeks Trump has gone to great lengths to tell us the most ridiculously false things, only to say the exact opposite a few days later and then get people to say “well that’s diplomacy.”
Ok, that’s diplomacy. It still means that nothing Trump says can or should be taken as automatically true. Are the media horrible liars? Yes. Is Trump any different? No, not really.
When we say “look what Trump does, not what he says”, it means give no credence to most of what he says.

And this makes the '92 election the critical point in history. Clinton, as someone that flirted with communism wasn't going to do something like this. And Pappy Bush probably won't have either.
But Pat Buchanan might have. Of course in this hypothetical he probably lessens or ends our alliance with Israel as well...

Perfect vs Imperfect is rarely the argument but the ones doing the criticizing ALWAYS take it there:
"Trump is being dumb with blah!!!"
"No, I don't think he is being dumb with blah."
"Well I'm sorry I insulted your Lord and Savior Mr. Perfect God King of Mystic Perfection and Ultimate Jesusness Donald Trump."
THAT is more tiring than any criticism one can level.

For over 100 years, socialists have bitterly denounced capitalism, while infiltrating all our institutions, including big business, and slowly but surely making the country more and more socialist, and less and less capitalist.
Unsurprisingly, at every turn, these incremental adjustments of everything toward socialism have made everything incrementally worse and worse.
But, since some greatly diluted and mutated, socialized form of crony capitalism still exists, they can blame it for every single one of their unbroken chain of failures.
It's similar to how places like California and Illinois and NY, etc. have many decades of uninterrupted Democrat rule aided by an irrelevant and fully controlled "Republican" "opposition" - but, since that Party still technically exists on paper in those States, the slow rolling disasters Democrats unleashed on them are 100% to blame on those phantom Republicans.

So this happened:
A Top Mamdani Official Tried to Meet with Iran
Commissioner Ana María Archila was scheduled to meet with Amir-Saeid Iravani, Iran’s permanent representative to the United Nations, at 2 United Nations Plaza, alongside two other senior officials in the Mayor’s Office for International Affairs on July 7 at 11 a.m . . .
The meeting between Archila and Iravani was called off after the State Department—which was not informed ahead of time—met with the Mamdani administration to clarify acceptable conduct, according to the State Department official. City Journal learned that Commissioner Archila allegedly did not inform Mayor Mamdani of the meeting; she was reprimanded for the move and directed to cancel the meeting according to the source familiar with the office.
Sure, sure, Mamdanai had NO IDEA that was happening. *WINK*

It’s known as the Jerusalem Cross, or Crusaders Cross. When leftists were accusing Hegseth of having a “Nazi tattoo” he delighted in showing its use on a cloth covering Jimmy Carter’s coffin during his funeral.
The claim demonstrates the mindless illiteracy of most of the left - they hate Christianity, so they call anything with a cross in it “Nazi”.

But he took on the risk to defang Iran else it would remain an unprotected flank with huge exposure for us in the future. With nukes.
We've let Iran fester for 50 years. Obama/ValJar wanted them to be a regional hegemon -- with nukes. So Trump is clesaning up the mess.

It was on his answer about Trump University at a debate. One of the funniest posts Ace has ever done.
But I'd guess that Ace, like most of us here, now realize that Cruz could never have made the Dems/media drop the mask like Trump has. I was also for Cruz in 16, but do not regret in least that we got Trump. He's a gadfly.

Yes, but these kids were all children of the scumbags that kept them in squalor and abuse. Not illegals trafficked. I know, a difference without a distinction.

Cruz is one of my Senators, and I think he does that job well. I also supported his 2016 run, but I realize he’ll never play well on the national stage, and should stick to Texas.

In 16 I likened the DOPe to a bad boyfriend who badmouthed me to his friends, who all hated me, and only acted interested in my thoughts and feelings when trying to get my money. Along comes a brash outsider who is funny and bold and threatens to push DOPe's face in if he doesn't start treating me right. Of *course* I was interested in seeing that play out and just a little willing to go home with the new guy if he did what he said.

Nope - while it is true the kids received benefits from the county, they all were children of the couple. Additionally, all four adults (The two Grandparents and two parents) were also recipients of county benefits. The mother also had a set of twin girls not too long ago that died shortly after birth. It's my personal opinion that the adults do not possess a complete set of genes even if you add all four sets together.

What I've noticed since 2016 is an increasing divide in voting patterns between White College and White Non-College, especially among women. White Non-College outnumbers White College by 2x. White Non-College is already over 70% and has little room to grow. White Non-College has been growing and is now over 50%.
Mitt Romney (and Hillary) dismissed White Non-College as Deplorables and not worth the bother.

His answers to questions about Trump University and the budget were somewhat uncomfortable to watch, in much the same way that it is uncomfortable to watch a bus full of circus clowns crash into a school for blind children and even worse the clowns were doing their "Gasoline Comedy" act that day and now all the blind children are on fire and the clowns are trying to squirt water on them with their stupid lapel-flowers but the flowers are just squirting out more gas and the children are crying tears of fire out of their Unseeing Dead Eyes and holy shit a couple of the clowns look like they have boners and they're chasing around the fiery blind children trying to rub up on them with these bobbling clown-boners with big red bulbs on their tips.
In other words, as Trump would say: Not the best. Really not terrific. A real mess!

Turkey is recognized as an elite "drone superpower." It exports critical combat hardware and modern warships to European allies and the Middle East. Ankara also controls the Turkish Straits. As above, Turkey and Erdogan are Sunni.
Ukraine is one of the world's leading innovators in drone and asymmetric warfare, allowing them to rapidly deploy, upgrade, and manufacture hundreds of thousands of unmanned systems. It operates Delta, conceived by tech volunteers in 2014, a highly sophisticated, centralized digital platform that networks all sensors and drones, outpacing even many Western military command systems.
The US has agreed to grant Ukraine a production license and show them how to manufacture American-made Patriot missile interceptors domestically. PDT announced the political agreement alongside Ukrainian President Zelenskyy at the NATO summit Turkey.
Turkey supports Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity while avoiding overtly alienating Russia. As a NATO member, Ankara provides Ukraine with critical military hardware—including drones and technology—but has refused to join Western economic sanctions against

Sunni Islam is also the dominant branch of Islam in Ukraine. Their largest and most prominent group: Crimean Tatars, a significant number of which fled to mainland Ukraine and/or formed guerrilla resistance movements like Atesh.
Additionally, Sunni Muslims from the North Caucasus, including Chechen fighters opposed to the Russian-backed Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, have formed independent battalions (such as the Sheikh Mansur Battalion) to fight alongside Ukrainian forces.
(And there are Volga Tatars, Turks, and individuals from Central Asia, the North Caucasus, Azerbaijan, and Arab countries, who have embraced Islam and become part of the Ukrainian population, as well as those who have converted to Islam. Their true numbers are unknown.)
Russia is home to the LARGEST Muslim population in Europe, estimated 1/5 of the population by about 2020. The majority are Sunni. Reportedly, most Muslims in the country live in the Moscow region and other major metropolitan areas such as St Petersburg and Yekaterinburg. (Islam in Russia, Al Jazeera, 201

- Nvidia's share price is down by 15% - from a recent peak of $117 squintillion - as it succumbs to the memory price hikes it caused for everybody else. (Tech Crunch)
Good work, Jensen.
- Meanwhile new ULL - ultra-low latency - memory for AMD systems offers up to a 4% speed boost. (Tom's Hardware)
For only double the price.
- Turns out you can upgrade the RAM in your PlayStation - and it's not even expensive. (Notebook Check)
That only gets from from 2MB to 16MB.
Yes, of course we're talking about the PlayStation One.
Tech News
- AMD has confirmed it will be launching its new Zen 6 processor family this month, at an event on July 22 and 23. (WCCFTech)
Launching, not selling. And the event will be exclusively for server chips, with a likely six month delay before we see them for the desktop. But performance of the server versions will give us a very good idea of what to expect in consumer models, because the core designs - and even the chiplets - are identical. The server versions just wire up more chiplets.
- While we wait for Zen 6, AMD has raised the shuddering zombie of Zen 2 to keep us entertained. (Tom's Hardware)
The 4700LE is a 4700G without the G - the integrated graphics.
I don't know why; it just is.
- OpenAI's Atlas browser on the other hand is not. (Tech Crunch)
Launched in October, the candle that burned half as bright was promptly cancelled.
- AMD has also announced eleven new Zen 4 laptop parts. (WCCFTech)
New as in that precise marketable configuration; there is nothing new about the technology. But I'm writing this on a Zen 3 chip and Zen 4 is markedly better.

93 The Lord reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the Lord is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.
2 Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting.
3 The floods have lifted up, O Lord, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves.
4 The Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.
5 Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O Lord, for ever.

Fen, congrats on the new kitten, Millard! Depending on his age, he might well miss his siblings and mother. Stirling's mother had died a while before I adopted him, I was told, and he must have been human-raised, as he has always been attached to people. During his first summer with me he insisted on springing into bed with me every morning and milk-treading my arm (tiny claws -- ouch!). He still does that every day or so at age four. So Millard may be very attached to you and your son.

Before that I have another video tour, of a house I looked at in May but am reconsidering now. I've never gone "That's perfect!" the way I did with the one I put the offer on, and so I'm not very sanguine, but who knows.
I'd love to be there and walk through these places myself, but I really can't yet. I tried that in Kansas and ended up spending money and putting wear and tear on me and my car. Yes, moving to an apartment in my prospective area is an option, though a poor one. The dough I'd spend on deposits, pet deposits, pet rent, rent, and moving or storing my furniture would be better put on the house itself. But I may have to.

Funny, ain't it, how most of those "enclaves" listed by the Commie are non-European. Irish, Italian, German, Jewish, all left out accidentally on purpose. "Little Poland" and "Little Ukraine" are there, but otherwise, no Europeans are mentioned.

I walked through Bedford-Stuy alone
Even rode my motorcycle in the rain
And you told me not to drive
But I made it home alive
So you said that only proves that I'm insane"

Good to hear. Little Dagny was older when I adopted her, five months -- her breeder doesn't let them go until that age -- and she is well-socialized and pleasant, but has never milk-treaded. She is The Cat Who Walks by Herself and All Places Are Alike to Her.
She's sitting on the other end of the couch with me now, but that's because it's Breakfast Time.

----- Go big or go home! World’s largest paper airplane has a 65-foot wingspan
It’s easy to craft a paper airplane capable of soaring across a classroom, but one that can travel 200 feet is a bit harder. A group of students from Italy’s University of Pisa not only managed to reach that distance on a single glide—they did so with the Guinness World Record holder for the largest paper airplane ever assembled. Built using only paper and some glue, the team’s nearly 23-foot-long creation and its over 65-foot wingspan cruised through a warehouse at Italy’s annual We Make Future expo on June 25. According to the university’s announcement, the students broke a record previously held since 2013 by Germany’s Braunschweig Institute of Technology.Video segment at the link.

Yes, I've noticed my local Walmarts slowly closing down the self-checkout stations. They usually don't have more than two regular checkouts open. Maybe they'd go to three or four during really busy times. But they usually have at least one open soon after opening now.
Anybody with two brain cells could have told them what would happen with a high-crime-oriented population like we have here. But nooooo, they had to try it.

Somehow I doubt the notion that the majority of the border crossers did it legally even in 1950. But it is an exciting film from early in Montalban's career, before that back injury that gave him such trouble later, and directed with style by Anthony Mann.

I hated two points. One, that they were getting my labor for free; I wasn't getting a discount on my purchases for doing their work. Second, that damn screen right in my face, rubbing it in that I'm under surveillance. Once I put a plastic bag over the screen, and you'd have thought I'd damaged the machine in some way. They converged shouting on me as though they'd caught me shoplifting. After that I refused to use the self-checkouts, and still do.

Later in life, we rescued 3 orphaned babies after a storm knocked over a tree they were living in. Our cat had just had kittens, so my mom put the squirrels in with the kittens, and the mother cat took them in an raised them.
Damn things grew up faster than the kittens and they were climbing everywhere in the house ... pretty funny actually.

It went poorly. The agent's phone couldn't connect half the time. And while he said he couldn't legally tell me whether a neighborhood was good or bad, he mentioned there was a guy in the street near the house screaming his head off at eleven in the morning. Not a good sign.
I have another tomorrow morning -- a house I looked at back in May and passed on. Its price has come down quite a bit, and I have adjusted my hopes somewhat as well, so we'll see.

A scene like it was featured in the young adult Roy Rogers mystery I read at age nine, The Ghost of Mystery Rancho. Roy is stranded in the West Texas desert in a pool of quicksand by the villain, the Ghost. He writes a message on paper with a lead-nosed bullet, and sends Trigger off with a "Go home!", hoping the horse will go where he last was stabled. His hosts read the message and get to him just in time.
It's a good little story, with a narrative drive you wouldn't believe and a thunderbolt revelation held to the end. It started my true interest in the mystery genre.

Its great when they do that on the bike. You know they're just going to do it. One funny thing though, some seem to be wiser and more curious. They hear the loud exhaust and just keep running.

Slight disagreement. I love everything about the area I live in but whoever designed my house did it for me. Not for everyone but perfect for me.
But I absolutely agree you should do whatever you can to make sure the area you are moving too is for you. That is most important. Then find the house.

Please go and spend six months renting in a town you are interested in and explore the neighborhoods and research the police blotters. It would be worth it not to buy a beautiful home a block away from a shitty neighborhood.
Posted by: nurse ratched. at July 09, 2026 10:43 PM (yEz+x)
This is excellent advice. I know having to move twice is a pain, but getting stuck in a shitty neighborhood is a bigger pain.
It's also very useful to tag along with the inspector while having a potential purchase inspected. You can ask questions and get a lot more information than you do just from reading a report.
The written report may say something like "The furnace is old", which might put you off from buying, but in-person with the inspector, he might say something like "Yeah, the furnace is kind of old, but it seems to be running fine, and I've seen this model a lot older in other houses, so you will probably get another five years before you need to replace it."
Just my $0.02 worth, from having done just this a couple of times.
Personally, I would never consider buying a house I had not walked through, and driven around the neighborhood.

Ok, I will then.
It was at the Eastern MO Correctional Center in Bonne Terre, MO. I think it was around 2002.
I attended only because the victim's mother asked me to go with her. She and I had become close friends.
The guest of honor was under two different death sentences for 2 different murders. He had raped and murdered a 7-yr-old girl & left her body in a trash dumpster. Then he raped and murdered a severely handicapped teenage girl. She had lived in a building where he was the custodian.
The festivities had been scheduled for 10pm. About ten, the warden came into the room where the witnesses were sand told us a federal judge had stayed the execution. He asked us to wait if we could, in case the stay was lifted. At 2AM, he came back in & tols us the stay HAD been lifted and that the execution would proceed almost immediately.
(I'm going to. continue this post below, because I don't want to exceed the space allowed for a single post.)

JackStraw--make sure the area you are moving to is for you.That is most important.
JackStraw is right. The last time I moved was 26 years ago. Have never regretted it. It's perfect for me. I love being out in the country, in a rural area. I was so tired of city life. Traffic, crime, noise at all hours. Now, peace and quiet and good people in the area. It's made a big difference for me.

The execution was by lethal injection. The witnesses were seated on folding metal chairs, in the prison gym.
The first thing we saw was a small "stage," with the. curtain drawn, so we couldn't see the man.
After a very short time, the curtain was opened & there was the condemned man, already hooked up to the intravenous injection equipment. He was VERY heavily strapped down
The warden nodded to someone we couldn't see, and the execution began. The man was NOT asked for last words. That had been done earlier in the evening, and he had said he had nothing to say.
He coughed a couple of times and then began to snore.
After maybe 7 minutes, the warden told us the execution had been completed and that the man was dead.

The execution had been very "antiseptic," for lack of a better word. I was impressed by the warden's gravity & professionalism.
As I was driving home, I turned on KMOX AM radio in STL A newsreader informed me that:
"A federal judge tonight stayed the execution of inmate V_____ B____ indefinitely. B____ had been scheduled to die earlier tonight at the Eastern Missouri Correctional Center in Bonne Terre, Missouri."
It was a surreal moment. Who was it I just saw put to death then?
The murder victim's mother and I are still close friends and exchange Christmas cards. After the murder trial, she. had sent a wonderful letter to my boss. I called her to thank her. She was a little embarrassed. She said, "You don't have to thank me. If you hadn't done a good job, I would have sent the other kind of letter."
I forgot to mention that at the time of the execution, the defendant was still wanted for a third murder he'd committed in Indianapolis.

Dad was a reporter for the Salem Capitol Journal who witnessed the last gas chamber execution in the state of Oregon. He also got a tour of the "fatal chamber" and an explanation of the mechanics the day before, in a tour provided by the Warden of the state pen. While the guide had his back turned Dad had his photographer take a picture of him seated on the execution chair -- as one does.
Mom wouldn't let him hang it anywhere in the house, so he hung it on the door of the fruit room in the back shed.

To understand the complexities of climate, we should stop gazing up at the sky, but look down into the oceanic abyss.
Modern surface temperatures are an echo from the past. The Earth is an ocean planet, driven by a pulsating 1,000-year conveyor belt known as Thermohaline Circulation.
We are witnessing a planetary memory in the oceans operating on a scale humans struggle to imagine — where deep currents are only now responding to thermal signals set in motion during the Roman Warm Period (250 BC–400 AD).

Interesting story that. We were the only house that had a food storage area called the Fruit Room. I never knew why it was called that instead of a pantry.
Fruit room is an old term for the pantry.
My Great Grandparents were from Scotland, so I figured that was where it came from, but my step sister pointed out that my step-mom (Mom) always called it a fruit room, even in the house they had before she married my Dad, and as far as we can tell it was from HER father in law, who was her first husband's step-father, who was a farmer from England who started a milk herd in Oregon.

We had more snow in the 1960's in Southcentral Alaska. Except for last year, when we had even more.
It comes and goes. Has for millennia. Weather does that.
But, some idiot needs to publish or perish, so he came up with a bullshit "science" that isn't, and now he's got tenure. Fuck that shit.

Khamenei’s burial is tonight. It is the end of an era. Regardless of whether there is a war or not, Iran is entering very shaky territory.
The economy is in shambles, there are serious divisions within the leadership, hardliners do not want Iran to reach a deal with the U.S., and anti regime citizens still want revenge for the January massacres.
The fight over Hormuz will likely continue. Iran is not willing to give up control.
Whatever happens next is very messy

if you are still looking for references on Starlink, I can provide one. I have been using it out in the boonies of Wyoming for almost a year. It has been great. faster than I expected and very stable. We lost connectivity briefly during a raging thunderstorm but otherwise rock solid. The local tower based service cannot compete. They are nearly the same price.

Anyway, he is adorable but I slept downstairs on the living room couch with him last night, and didn't get a lot of sleep. He is very affectionate and must miss his mom and siblings. I had gone up to bed last night and FenSpouse came up and said , You want me to go downstairs and sleep on the couch to keep Millard company? FenSpouse is a good man but I told him "No"

Shenna,
Because of your past role at the holocaust and human rights center, some have extrapolated that to assume you would have policy that is too sympathetic to Israel in general.
It is obviously perfectly fine to think that the holocaust was atrocious, that Israel has a right to self-defence AND that the current situation in Gaza is a horrific genocide that far exceeds any claim to self defence.
But in a short campaign, given your background, what will not be ok is ambiguity on policy around these issues.
Can your team formally put on the record your stance on the following questions:
1) Do you support the outright ban of offensive weapons to Israel?
2) Do you support the withholding of all defensive systems to Israel until there is a full and complete withdrawal from Gaza?
3) Do you support a two-state solution?
4) Do you support a US investigation into war crimes in Gaza?
5) Do you support the US becoming party to the ICC?
-
6) Do you know all the lyrics to the Horst Wessel Lied?

A relative of mine works in "special education" at a Northern California school district. Her classes are 90% children of (illegal) immigrants -- but almost no black kids. Why not? According to her, "it is illegal to give an IQ test to a black student in California" (due to a CA court case several years back from a black mother who claimed IQ tests were racist -- she won). As a result, it is not possible to measure or know any black student's IQ. And since they are usually giving automatic-A inflated grades in most regular classes, the black kids simply don't quality for Special Ed, which require either a low IQ or a low grade point average in her district. Hence, no black kids in her classes.

lessee - horse artillery is artillery where all the men are mounted on horses. Horses pull the guns in both flavors.
Whereas Mule artillery I believe is a small howitzer gun that can be packed on the back of one mule for very rough terrain.

I'm OK, thx... all things considered.
I haven't read about a county trying to secede from IL, but... I can understand why they'd try. Most people think IL is a big blue state, which is true enough, but IL contains a sizable smaller red state within it.

Got Her Majesty and The Big Dummy on the road to San Antonio, then slaved away at patching up my spreadsheet of journal references, removing duplicates and putting in missing abstracts, DOIs and links. About 6000 through 7900-odd lines. Then I can start seeing how many actually are open access. About 10% are so far.

Eufy camera systems are likewise a fast, cheap, and easy install and your data stays on your own cameras or camera controller and can be accessed along with alerts on the web if you wish via a smartphone. Encrypted end to end.
Simply safe starter can be bought direct and allows self monitoring or you can use their service. Eufy has some add ons like cloud storage or monitoring but with both, no need for the second--text alerts and viewing over smart phones is enough. You can get either at Amazon.

Had a CAD teacher at the Vo-Tech back in the day who made an off-hand comment, "Is that half a roll of dimes in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?"
Proto-Karen lodged a complaint. Fucking bitch. It was just a funny little joke. Keep in mind this was in 1993.
He was not amused, and the atmosphere of the class changed dramatically. Sucked, because I bet he would have fit in quite well with the Horde. Still, he still made subtle jabs. He was simply more discreet.

Only in the last couple hundred years of their culture... because before then? There were no horses in North America. Native Americans didn't get horses at all until the 1600s... before that they were afoot...
Which makes the whole mythology of the great American Indian Horse cultures just that... myth.

Quick Hits
Taco Bell removes ingredients from its menu because of "explosive diarrhea" concerns.
Write your own joke here.Taco Bell restaurants are pulling fresh ingredients from the menu as a fast-growing parasite outbreak linked to explosive diarrhea spreads across multiple states. Locations, including some in Metro Detroit, have posted signs telling customers they are temporarily unable to serve several produce items while health officials respond to a spike in cyclosporiasis cases, WWJ reported on Tuesday. "We are currently unable to sell Lettuce, Cilantro Onion, Pico de Gallo and Guacamole due to a nationwide recall," the notices say. "We apologize for the inconvenience. Any items ordered that normally come with these items WILL NOT contain them." The missing ingredients are staples in several Taco Bell favorites, including tacos, the Crunchwrap Supreme and Cantina Chicken menu items. It is not clear whether any Taco Bell customers have been sickened by the parasite, according to the report. The menu shake-up comes as health officials investigate a surge in cyclosporiasis, an intestinal illness caused by the Cyclospora parasite that has sickened nearly 2,000 people across the US.
Can we stop pretending these people bring such Great Cultural Enrichment with them that it cancels out all the child rape, murder, and terrorism? Muslim pro-terrorism communist Democrat senate candidate "Doctor" Abdul El-Sayed was grilled about why he insists on being called a "doctor" and even a "physician" despite having no license to practice medicine.

@Steven_Swinford Exclusive: Pakistan is expected to refuse to take back the Rochdale grooming gang leader despite plans to change the law so he can be deported On Monday Shabana Mahmood, the home secretary, is expected to announce changes to the 1971 Immigration Act, which prevents Shabir Ahmed from being removed Ahmed, 73, was released from prison last week after serving 14 years of a 22 year sentence for 30 child rape offences A loophole in the Immigration Act means that he cannot be returned to Pakistan, despite the fact he has been stripped of his citizenship. The act exempts people from deportation if they came to the UK before 1973 and have lived in the UK for at least five years Mahmood is expected to confirm that officials have found a way to close the loophole without putting the right to remain of Commonwealth citizens at risk, including Windrush migrants from the Caribbean However, Whitehall sources confirmed that despite the change in the law they did not expect Pakistan to accept Ahmed. It is demanding the extradition of two political dissidents from the UK in exchange for accepting the return of Ahmed A senior government source said that Britain would not extradite any of the political dissidents, leaving discussions at an effective stalemate
Katie Couric, a dried up old leftwing prune, demands that John Fetterman agree that lowering the White House flag to half-staff and flying his body on Air Force Two (I think) was "over the top" because liberals didn't like him. Fetterman doesn't agree.
Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed got a grilling from a lefty anchor Wednesday about whether he lied by describing himself as a physician despite lacking a current medical license. El-Sayed's LinkedIn page describes him as a physician, and he claimed to be "a physician and epidemiologist" during an April debate. "You got attacked by your rivals for calling yourself a physician, not just a doctor, even though you don't have a valid state medical license in New York or Michigan, which apparently is what you need legally to call yourself a physician," Zeteo founder Mehdi Hasan pressed El-Sayed, questioning whether the candidate should have just called himself a doctor to avoid the drama. "At the end of the day, it's not about whether or not I'm a physician or a doctor," El-Sayed replied. "It's not about my education. It's about whether or not your kid gets a good education." Hasan called out the attempted dodge and stressed that people will question whether "you tell the truth."
That prompted El-Sayed to pivot to touting his time in public health, including as the director of the Department of Health, Human, and Veterans Services in Wayne County, Mich. "Well, I would say that I was the health director for the city of Detroit, and I've done more to provide more people healthcare or eliminate their medical debt than most doctors have done in their practice career," he countered. "So, I'm proud of the work that I did." The Democratic front-runner also noted that he graduated from Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York. El-Sayed is the former host of a healthcare podcast titled "America Dissected," where he leveraged his credentials as a doctor and hawked questionable health and wellness products. Ironically, he had called out others, such as current Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz, for trying to "sell people s-- they didn't need."
Visegrád 24
@visegrad24 Homeschooling is legal in Brazil but a judge has just sentenced two parents to 50 days in prison for "intellectual neglect" because their 11- and 15-year-old daughters, accomplished pianists and polyglots, received no classes on gender theory, sex education, tolerance, diversity and Afro-Brazilian culture. The court argued that they would suffer in their personal lives and interactions with people of their own age from not knowing the Brazilian funk music style, which romantizes crime, life in favelas and is hyper-sexualized. Apart from being accomplished pianists, the two girls speak Portuguese,
English and Latin. They also read 30+ classic books per year. The judge was particularly worried when he heard that one of the daughters is particularly fond of Christian music and doesn't know what funk music is. The judge accused the parents of using their daughters as tools in an "ideological war"

A Brazilian court has sentenced a couple to 50 days in prison for "intellectual neglect" after they homeschooled their two daughters without a state-approved curriculum. A São Paulo criminal court ruled against Audato and Ieda Denardi, alleging they had failed to include programs on "gender and sex education" and "tolerance and diversity" in the curriculum for their daughters, aged 15 and 11, Alliance Defending Freedom ("ADF") International said. According to the legal group, the court also ruled that the parents failed to properly integrate their children into Brazilian culture, citing the girls' preference for religious and classical music over popular trap or "sertanejo" (folk) music. Isabel Monteiro, the defense attorney representing the family, said the judge made an "ideological decision to convict them" based largely on the older daughter's preference for sacred music over mainstream music that often features explicit lyrics. The Denardis were sentenced to 50 days in prison by a lower court in April. They remain free while appealing the ruling, which is believed to be the first criminal prosecution of its kind in Brazil. The Denardis told Fox News Digital they began homeschooling the girls in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic after realizing their schools were failing to give them a proper education. Ieda said the girls thrived in homeschooling, and so she decided to continue educating the girls at home.
And they do demand your soul.
Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman is accusing Democratic incumbent Kathy Hochul of religious bigotry for enforcing a transgender rights law she approved that is forcing Catholic nuns who run a hospice program to choose between their beliefs or caring for indigent, terminally ill patients. The controversy concerns the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne in Westchester County who run Rosary Hill Home -- a Catholic hospice for the poor. The order filed a federal lawsuit accusing the state of violating their constitutional rights with a 2024 law that requires the facility to affirm patients' gender identity in regard to pronouns, room assignments and restroom usage. The law bars nursing or long-term care facilities from discriminating against any resident based on the resident's actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or HIV status.
But the Trump Justice Department recently intervened in the case on behalf of the Dominican Sisters, claiming New York is engaged in religious discrimination at the 42-bed hospice care facility. "What Kathy Hochul is doing to the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne is an absolute disgrace. For over 120 years, these incredible women have done God's work, providing unconditional love, comfort, and dignity to people in their final days," Blakeman told The Post. "They are saints walking among us, and they represent the absolute best of New York. Yet, Kathy Hochul is actually willing to shut them down, strip away their license, and throw terminal cancer patients out on the street--all to enforce her woke garbage." ... The Catholic nuns received three letters from the state Health Department informing them of their obligation to comply with the law, according to the suit. State Attorney General Letitia James, whose office is defending the Hochul administration in court, asked that the case be thrown out and that Hochul's name be removed as a defendant.

@BillMelugin_ BREAKING: DHS confirms that a suspect arrested for murder after he allegedly stabbed his coworker to death at a Michigan meat plant is a Haitian illegal alien who was caught and released at the Texas border by the Biden administration in 2024. ICE has placed a detainer on Valmir Djempsly and he is now charged with murder. DHS statement: "This illegal alien barbarically stabbed his coworker to death," said DHS Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. "This murderer was released into American communities by the Biden Administration. If it weren't for the reckless open border policies of the Biden Administration, this criminal never would have been in our country in the first place and his victim would still be alive. We have lodged a detainer asking Michigan to not release this dangerous criminal from jail without notifying ICE."

Look at the dog's eyes in the photo of the islam loving mother who got killed in Ireland. Doggie knows. Barbarain probably put him in the microwave before he fled to Turkey. The little girl is lucky to have survived.
The Haitian stabber is so black there's barely a photo evidence of features. Surprised his most wanted poster is not a black circle with ears and little Buckwheat braids.

INDIANAPOLIS — Cases of cyclosporiasis, a parasitic infection that causes "explosive" diarrhea and intestinal infection, have continued to rise this week.
Marion County Health Public Department officials said Wednesday, July 8 that they had recently confirmed 15 cases, compared to four or fewer in previous years.
Indianapolis resident Ebony Johnson said she tested positive for the infection. She believes it originated from contaminated lettuce from a fast food restaurant.
"It didn't matter what I ate. It didn't matter what I drank, my stomach was just out of control," Johnson said. "I have never experienced diarrhea like that before. When they say it's explosive, it is very explosive to where you have to run to the restroom. If you don't make it in time, you're going to go on yourself. I went twice on myself. One time, it happened while I was asleep. You can't pass gas without thinking you're going to have an accident on yourself. It's that bad."

One of the nice things about the current geopolitical climate is that the crappy system FDR planned for the postwar order is going to disappear. He decided to extract the universal rights of the Declaration of Independence and grant them to everyone with a pulse, and then make those 'rights' enforceable by an organization where Stalin got three votes and a veto. It was always absurd, but it has nothing backing it up anymore besides inertia.
Some country (maybe Japan) will one day decide to deport people whose home countries don't want them to a desert island or out the back of a transport plane with no parachute, and libtards will screech a bit before realizing that Japan or whoever doesn't give a shit. And I will enjoy it immensely.

Federal authorities were already searching for Sayrange in connection with the June 25 firebombing of a Brooklyn smoke shop, where he was allegedly seen wearing a Guy Fawkes mask.
He is now expected to face additional federal charges related to the church attacks, on top of the smoke shop case.

Rahm Emanuel, a potential Democratic presidential candidate and longtime defender of Israel, warned Wednesday that the country has become increasingly isolated as its leadership has turned it into a “territorial pariah,” in a speech at Tel Aviv University on Wednesday.
“You cannot fight indefinitely against a world that has stopped believing you have the right to fight,” Emanuel told a packed auditorium of students and supporters in a speech hosted by the university’s Center for the Study of the United States. “You must instead find a new sustainable path to peace, security, and economic prosperity.”

I am critical of cops. Not here, for I carry. When I hear one of these bleeding hearts whining about police brutality when a cops kills a dude, only to find out dude had a knife or what looked like some sort of weapon out, my sympathy dies. We ALL know the cops are armed. When some idiot pushes their luck like that, I’m like “Oh well.”

And fwiw, not exactly murder either as he has already been adjudged guilty of crimes and because he did it for conquest and horror, he deserves to be treated as an international war criminal on par with Boko Haram. Basically the West is going to have to wade in a lot of blood domestically to rid itself of these assholes or be subjugated themselves. And that includes us.
You can do it the legalistic way via courts, juries, and death penalties for crimes like rape, murder, and terrorism or you will end up having vigilantes do it like in Northern Ireland and the nature of such things is that your skin and language becomes your uniform.
I prefer the first method of expulsion but the second is coming whether we like it or not if the elites and the Muzzies and Turd Worlders don't stop doing what they are doing and return home.
Laws get shoved aside when necessity rules the game. And the elites are making it necessary by their refusal to yield and refusal to leave office in shame.

Point taken. The universe is impressive, and should make us all feel humble.
However, I feel equally as humble contemplating the biological processes that take place within our own bodies, every second, every minute, 24/7 —Macro-processes that we are, at best, aware of but don’t pay much attention to until something goes wrong (e.g., breathing, digestion), plus all of the thousands of micro-processes that make the macro-processes possible, but that accomplish the results of the macro-processes, and of which we have almost no awareness at all.
Even when our physical bodies fail to function as designed, thanks be to God for the wonder and miracle of the human body, as with all His creation.

One of the great British black comedies is Kind Hearts and Coronets, where "The plot follows Louis D'Ascoyne Mazzini (played by Dennis Price), who systematically murders these eight relatives to inherit the dukedom and avenge his mother's social disownment."
I can see Killary doing that--methodically Arkanciding her opponents one by one--Kamala dies from a tragic deep throating event, Grewsome gets food poisoning and dies at his favorite French Laundry restaurant, etc,. etc.

Black (not referring to race here) comedies with truly awful people as victims/perps can be funny as hell. The Brit version of House of Cards has the lead role breaking the third wall as he becomes a killer to advance his political career after being a whip passed over for the top job instead of the party favored nincompoops. US version was straight, the British version has Ian whatshisname gloating, winking, and generally letting you know it wasn't serious.
Fish Called Wanda and the little old lady subplot is a perfect example.

This case really has me on a moral quandary.
On one hand -- a Western woman was murdered by an illegal Muslim immigrant. Obviously, this is horrible, he i evil, the system is corrupt, etc.
ON THE OTHER HAND -- have you seent he videos this woman has made??? It is beyond belief. She was the most horrible human being I have ever witnessed, with the wrst case of "jungle fever" Arab fetishism on record. She wished death in ICE supporters, said all whtie men were impotent compared t Muslim men, tried to learn Arabic so she could curse the USA in a superior language, and willingly made herself this murdering illegal alien's whore even though (by her wn admission) "I can't understand 95% f what he's saying." She was the most toxic grotesque parody of a leftist women I've seen in a long time. So part of me chortles inwardly about "karma" when I learn that OF COURSE her evil sexual perversion came back to bite her, fatally.

When i was in grad school in Chicago, there was a story about some chick who was held up by a dude in a stairwell who told her a sob story about how he was being chased by the cops. She then took him voluntarily to her apartment where she was sexually assaulted. It was then I discovered that sympathy only goes so far for some people.

Tyler Robinson Hearing: The Text Messages (Which Candace Owens Claimed Didn't Exist) In Which Robinson Confesses to Killing Charlie Kirk Are Shown In Court
But don't worry -- Cavernous Nostrils has a back-up conspiracy theory. Sure, the texts exist -- but they're "fedslop" fakes.
Candace OwensShe's just spamming out one new covering conspiracy theory after another. She says these must be fake, because the FBI wouldn't have just photographed the messages, they would have seized the phone. Well, they did seize the phone. They seized it and downloaded everything in its memory. Also, they couldn't present the phone in court unless they could show clear chain-of-custody, and the defense didn't object -- therefore, the phone has been in the possession of the authorities after being taken from Tyler Robinson. She also insists that Tyler Robinson can't be the killer seen on video because the guy on video is 6'2". She knows this height exactly, somehow. Just by eyeballing a video, where he's not standing next to any other person nor anything whose height is known. And she claims that Robinson himself is "just over 5'10." Except no, the police photo shows he's 6'0" or just a touch under. Seeing that this contradicts her claim, she crops the photo to remove the top of Robinson's head and make him appear shorter.
@RealCandaceO They police just took a pic of the Lance's phone, guys! Biggest assasination since JFK and they decided not to collect it and store it into evidence. Just trusted him and took a couple of cute pics for insta. And now Lance has immunity. And of course the judge ruled that the defense did not need to examine these messages for authenticity at this stage of the hearing. It's just not necessary at this stage- got it? Enjoy your Fed slop!
Natalie Jean BeisnerBy the way, photos of the bullets reveal that they're hollow-points, intended to expand upon contact with a target. These bullets are designed to blow up into flat plates so that all of their energy goes into a target, and none comes out. That is, the bullet is designed to expend all of its kinetic energy in the target, and not exit the target. I say this because Cavernous Nostrils and her Legion of Tards have been claiming that it's impossible for a rifle bullet to not exit Charlie Kirk's neck (so we know a TPUSA official standing nearby him must have shot him with a pistol at the exact moment the rifle shooting decoy fired his rifle).
@NJBeisner 23h "You can't even tell it's him in the video!" Ok. They have his DNA. "It was planted! They're lying to us!" And round and round we go. Nothing will ever satisfy these people. Even video footage of Tyler Robinson taking the shot would not satisfy these people because they're untethered from reality and convinced everyone from Israel to Robinson's defense team is on this. You can't fight that type of psychosis with facts.
FINALLY we have photographic evidence the rounds Tyler Robinson used were SOFT POINT.

I said all along that Kirk was waiting for the all important criminal trial to conclude before shoving all those statements up cavernous nostril's nose. And criminal trials operate at a much higher evidentiary level so that evidence can be directly imported into civil liability trial for slander and if printed somewhere, libel.

He rejected her, because she's a lunatic and kind of ugly when you really look at her. He married Erika.
In her demented, crazy, psychopath head, she figured that since Charlie spurned her, he OWED her TPUSA. In her own head she manufactured this obligation. Charlie didn't give her himself, so surely he'd want to make up for that sin by giving her TPUSA.
And the last nine months have been her raging at Erika and torturing her to coerce her into giving up TPUSA and giving it to the woman Charlie really wanted to have it, Candace Owens.

He rejected her, because she's a lunatic and kind of ugly when you really look at her. He married Erika.
In her demented, crazy, psychopath head, she figured that since Charlie spurned her, he OWED her TPUSA. In her own head she manufactured this obligation. Charlie didn't give her himself, so surely he'd want to make up for that sin by giving her TPUSA.
And the last nine months have been her raging at Erika and torturing her to coerce her into giving up TPUSA and giving it to the woman Charlie really wanted to have it, Candace Owens.

Loomer used to hang out with her. Back when Cavernous Nostrils was developing her cred as a "Conservative". According to Laura, while barhopping, Owens' big thing was to bag a white guy who was on a date with a white girl . Just to show them.

Fire it at an downward angle and put a board in the middle of the jug and use a soft point. Weird shit happens in ballistics.
Anyone experienced in ballistics and reloading know that bullets can do some weird shit and when you deviate from ballistic gel into real bodies and throw some angles to it, you can roll snake eyes.

If you hunted a lot with softpoints, you would find some of them don't exit even in something like a deer. Few if any people hunt with fmj because it is much more likely to go through or hit something and richochet to who knows where. Just read a case history today of a yute at the range who was firing a 45 ACP with hardball (fmj) and it ricocheted over the backstop into a building and killed another yute.

Yep. Bullets can do some weird shit in bodies because of ballistics and hydrodynamics coupled with wound science. One good example is the 125 gr HP in 357 Magnum performed far beyond expectations for police compared with the original 158 gr scalloped HP. The 158 tended to go through while the 125 stopped inside the body and made a wide messy wound.
And even in the world of fmj, you had the famous Mark VII bullet used by the Brits in their 303's that despite being a fmj, it had an aluminum tip so that the bullet upset and went into a ass over tea kettle when it hit skin. 55 gr FMJ or slightly lighter will do the same while a heavier bullet will tend to penetrate in 223. Keyholing FMJ do more damage in wounds that a slower or heavier bullet would do. Those tend to go straight through.

But then I thought about it further & changed my mind. The prosecutor put in all his/her best evidence to win the media battle, I'm guessing. To make sure that potential trial jurors are already skeptical of the conspiracy theories before they even enter the courtroom. So I think it was probably wise to show all the state's cards early on.

Oh, and I forgot, this is a charge by information, not grand jury, so what you are seeing is the Prosecution's evidence of probable cause so that the judge will issue the indictment for murder.
Charge by information is used now by most states for charges rather than grand juries and that has only a judge making a ruling after the prosecution's presentation of evidence and any defense cross examination or submittal of evidence that the judge uses legally to establish whether probable cause exists for an indictment to be issued for trial.

I knew within hours the first arrest was a psych lunatic, well known with Utah LEO going back to the year of the Boston bombing and pretending to plant bombs at a local marathon. He is in prison now due to child porn found on his phone.

Legal posture and limited public access to discovery
Prosecutors chose to seek an indictment rather than begin with a criminal complaint; Utah County officials and reporting note that decision constrains immediate public access to the full discovery package and means defense counsel must file motions months later before certain materials are publicly revealed [5]. Courts have also moved to limit media exposure to certain images—such as pictures of restraints—citing fair-trial concerns [10] [8].
6. What the sources say — and what they do not
Available reporting consistently cites text messages, DNA on the rifle, physical evidence from the scene and apartment, and alleged post-shooting conduct as the main items prosecutors rely on [1] [2] [4] [3]. None of the provided sources publish the full forensic reports, the exact DNA match statistics, the raw text-message logs, or the complete indictment exhibit list; those materials are described but not reproduced in the articles cited [5] [7]. Therefore, the public summaries come from prosecutors’ statements and media summaries rather than direct publication of all underlying evidence [5]

I also found out, simply by READING (can you do this???) that there was a lesbo militant group in Utah. Who won grants to support their bs from various means. Including, I guess, the US government. "Armed Queers." The founder is the daughter of an Iranian immigrants: Ermiya Fanaeian
Her website vanished after the shooting because she was questioned. Fancy that with a logo of “Revolution + Trans liberation in our lifetime!”
She was on stage at one point, I guess collecting USA $ wampum, with Senator Grey Beaver Warren. A pow wow of sorts in the great teepee of Dim politics.
I found all of this easily online from the news. I am not a secret agent or in the CIA or FBI or anything important. It was ALL right there had you bothered to take off your doom glasses and look. No conspiracy. No Jews. No French Foreign Legion were ever mentioned. No cover ups. RIGHT THERE within days after the shooting and the campus videos.
His own parents turned him in, after seeing the videos of Buck Tooth going up the stairs of the building. He confessed to them and a friend who was a LEO before arrest. It was all there, Nostrils. All there.

But yes until this iran thing is done one way or the other he needs to triple his security and stay in the white house, but he is not going to do that. He is going to go into campaign mode soon for the midterms and the secret service is going to have to up their game.

She says her big moment that told her she HAD to flee was... when Charlie Kirk was killed. And transgenders started getting blamed for "all this shit they didn't do." Charlie Kirk being murdered by a person of ambiguous sexuality was the moment she knew America was about to start the mass slaughter of people like her.

Eh, weird shit happens and there is someone walking around out there hit by a 50 BMG round and lived to tell the tale. The correct issue is energy transferrence and it gets complicated really fast. Plus you have the fact that liquid can resemble a solid at a certain velocity like when people jump off the Golden Gate Bridge, the water can act as a solid due to velocity of the body. And the same thing can happen with a bullet at the right trajectory--like skipping a bullet under a car by firing it at the right angle to the ground.
Ballistics is for experts and determination of how ballistics performs when it hits a human body makes it a matter of medicine, physics (solid body hits a body mostly liquid with some bone), location of the entry wound, the angle it hits, the composition of the bullet, the powder charge and type, the age of the powder, the primer, the chamber of the rifle tight or loose, the throat of the rifle and condition of the rifling, etc. etc. etc.
It is not the matter an idiot like Cavernous Nostrils can surmise from 'common sense'.

I saw her self nostril selfie of the rash from the "black mold" case which she lost. The "rash" was her popping zits or doing something to her face and lips. It was that obvious not to be a rash.
A rash is typically under the surface of the skin or hives all over. Not just zits, Candace. You tried, though! And failed, as you always will!
She was fined for her not paying rent and bs. Unsure if she paid up or just screamed raciss.

There isn’t a reliable “murder rate for transsexuals vs heterosexuals” comparison, because homicide data for transgender people is incomplete and not collected in a consistent federal way. One study found transgender people overall likely have a homicide rate lower than cisgender people, but young Black and Latina trans women are at much higher risk.

Even the powder type makes a difference--ball, stick, mini stick,( flake or disc powders are usually shotgun powders or handgun), and they have a stabilizer component for acid that gets used up over time, faster if kept in hot and humidity, slower if kept cool, dark, and low humidity. If you tumble a stick powder to clean the corrosion off the case, you can actually change the burn rate of the powder because sticks can 'break' and the outside of the stick or ball powder has stabilizers and other chemicals that promote a universal burn rate for the powder.

FMJ is prohibited for big game hunting, because of the tendency to go straight through, resulting in a longer time to incapacitation. The animal runs off to die a half mile away deep in some brush which wastes game.

Obviously I don't know because I have never known a furry trans lover.
However, either with a plea bargain or whatever, LEO/FBI got enough evidence from this squirrel to back up what they found already online.
A LOT was online pretty dang fast. Including local friend furries. One who claimed this was the beginging of a "new paradigm."
I don't have X but people were wildly screen posting stuff and I read it. I have a near photographic memory and remember stuff. Mostly trivia I don't need, but it's there and I only have to read it one time.
The furries were all astir the day before the shooting. They communicated through their gaming crap. One guy even said that "something was going to happen on campus that day."
Being Barney Fife I copied that msg and sent it to the FBI on a number in Provo, Utah and got a response. That guy got his furry butt questioned, I can promise you that.
I am not often notify the FBI Karen, but I did a few days after Kirk was shot and someone posted it, seeing it reposted.

Tucker Carlson: Graham Platner Wasn't Booted Out Because He's a Nazi and a Rapist. He Was Pushed Out Because He Asked Questions The Jews Didn't Like.
TCNEnjoy how he renders rape as "sex" and a Nazi SS Totenkopf tattoo as "tattoos."
@TCNetwork Graham Platner's fall is not really about sex or tattoos.
The establishment cared so much about getting him canceled because he opposed their economic and foreign policy programs that serve the powerful and shaft average Americans.
Remember, Tucker Carlson is a "conservative"! If you criticize him, you're "splitting the party," "causing division," and "in-fighting"! I mean sure he's full-blown socialist (or communist now-- he is extremely authoritarian and seeks a return to feudalism), but he hates gays and that's all you need to be conservative!
Except his Islamist friends also hate gays and I don't think that makes them conservatives. Hm, this is a puzzler. Why is he a "conservative" again? Consider this a formal invitation to Graham Platner to appear on Tuq'r Qarlson's popular Egyptian/Pakistani/Qatari podcast.
Tuq'r's ally Donna Brazille says Platner needs "time to heal."
Ed Morrissey writes that Tuq'r's allies in the leftwing communist media are oscillating between two narratives: 1, We did our jobs perfectly (no notes!), or 2, We were duped by a liar and had no way to know we were being conned. The Wall Street Journal is pushing the "duped" narrative. Again, they blame their Democrat sources (and friends, and wives, and mistresses) for "misleading" them. This is exactly the same narrative the media deployed when "Sharp as a Tack" Biden was found out. "We weren't in on it, we were fooled like everyone else!" Except no one else was fooled. Only the Wise Men Truth Tellers of the media.
This entire article aims at Democrats for missing a parade of red flags in Platner's life while fraudulently promoting him as the "authentic voice of the working class." Democrats certainly deserve every bit of opprobrium possible for selling voters a whiny, entitled, upper-class mooch as a working-class stiff, just a couple of years after attempting to sell a senile old man as a Sharp As a Tack(TM) candidate who could totally handle another four years as president. Democrats are spending a lot of time growing candidates in vats, as long as they come out socialist blue once formed. However, the WSJ does not include one single word about how the media helped sell that fraud to voters in Maine and to the entire country. Their article never admits -- as Axios at least did -- that the media repeated the Katz-Moraff narrative "without scrutiny" for months. It never mentions the New York Times "tamp and tame" effort last month in which they manipulated three women, including Lyndsey Fifield and Jenny Racicot, in an attempt to muddy allegations to the point that Platner, Moraff, and Katz could claim that it was a partisan smear campaign. And of course, the article never mentions that Racicot finally came forward with the rape allegation specifically due to the NYT's manipulation of Fifield.
And that's the important part about all of this. Not Nazi tattoo or the rape thing. https://t.co/tyG1hSZlc5 pic.twitter.com/PcOCm3invx

When Obama was president, he made a joke at a fundraiser about people believing shovel ready jobs because it was so obviously stupid.
It wasn't the right who believed it. It was the left.
All of this messaging isn't for us. The WSJ and WaPO and the NYT don't write for us.
They write for the leftist intelligentsia and financiers. Those are the people falling for this stuff. Those are the people these no-nothing 27 year old reporters are fooling with obvious bullshit.

All of the progressive democrat leaders are grotesque psychopaths.
That is who they are. The fact that they all remorselessly and relentlessly lie about that now is just more evidence of how colossally screwed up they are. They are not in the facts, reason and logic business. They are about power. They will do whatever is necessary to get it.

I think you are seeing the real Tucker here. Anyone following his career in media would notice the different masks he would try on and then discard for something bigger or more well paid. Like most media types on air, he is an actor primarily and not particularly impressive intellectually. This goes way back to the Crossfire years. And I think he has always disliked Jews as a WASP elite by blood and upraising and is just now letting it show.

I am thankful I am not named Molly Jong-Fast who looks like Rosie O'Donnell.
Rosie supposedly had a face lift but no one can tell.
If you are going to cut on my face I'd better be able to tell, which is why no one will unless I am burned or go through a windshield (look at Nic Kidman's bat ears...ears get larger with each lift and she's pure plastic). I should say "look under one of her many wigs." I can't stand Kidman, or Rosie,but I figured that would be obvious.
Things seem to be spiraling for the Dems, eh? Is it the Maine people who say eh like Canadians?
I hope Platner has a malfunction and misses the deadline. Then what will they do?

I think he and his brother were screwed up by their family situation so he became a chameleon type personality that spent his time trying out a variety of masks.

His brother Buckley is more open about hatred of Jews and is less restrained in being seen drunk, etc. So it is from observing both of them and seeing Tucker on the stage or running the Daily Caller for years that led me to those conclusions. Empty inside and that lets the demons in whether real or metaphorical. And Tucker naming his own son Buckley is probably a reflection of how close these two are.

The Dems can gaslight each other over just about any moral malfeasance on Platner's part -- but they know there's one sin that the public will not forgive -- pedophilia. So after the earlier scandals broke, the socialist donors went to him and said, "OK, you've gotta come clean - -did you send dick-pics to underage girls on Kik?"
"Ummmm....wellll...not sure...".

Real journalists write their stories from campaign press releases. It takes real skill not to plagiarize them word for word and they learn that in J School.
They would shriek and run from the inky stained wretches called reporters that could write well but were often non college graduates who were schooled from life. There is an old movie with Clark Gable and Doris Day, Teacher's Pet in 1958 that highlights the shift from reporters to 'journalists' and from working profession to college graduate. Course the movie tries to mix both of them unsuccessfully in my opinion as the winner.

It's not like me, mad at bf/husband's first break up in college and getting my long hair highlighted by my friend who did not know what she was doing. It grew back and I could part it on the other side to hide a skunk streak.
Unless he wanted to transition, and pretty badly done I'd say; but avoided those pesky ingrown hairs and chronic cysts.
This was a mistake you cannot recover from. Unless 3D printers can now help.
I feel sorry for him as he looked fairly normal from his mug shot, vs some people like that tranny son in NY who just killed his mother instead of learning to weld. He looked mean as a snake even as a child. Poor lady.

Will Tucker Carlson have any compassion for workers of Qatar, and lead them to rise up in demanding economic and foreign policy programs that serve their own interests, over the rich and powerful of his Qatari homeland?

Source familiar w/Graham Platner's next moves says he's planning to file notice of withdrawal to Maine Secretary of State on Monday, the deadline per state law to get his name off the ballot. (confirming @hollyotterbein @axios). Maine Dems have till July 27 to name replacement.

I have a lot of faults and sins to my name but fortunately envy is not one a major issue for me. But, it can burn people up inside which is a problem. I think from social media, entertainment, etc. where they rub our noses in what they have versus our look at ourselves in what we have makes us feel small, deflated, and discouraged.
But what good is all the world if we forgo eternal salvation. Glamour in its original meaning was a magical trick making us think something is valuable when it in fact isn't. Easy to forget that sometimes.

Tucker mentioned on his Fox show when the laptop hard drives leaked that he knew Hunter for awhile and knew about his 'struggles with addiction'. I got the impression they knew each other growing up in Maryland since they are about the same age.

Well, no, he was Biden's son, the guy who was seriously big in DC. And Hunter was a grad of Georgetown, so he was someone that would be touched to get a reference. And they were in the same social areas, since the politicians love the big media names, and the big media names love access to the politicians.
The game is designed to run that way.

The word glamour is a Scottish alteration of the word grammar, originating in the early 18th century. It derives from the obsolete Scots term gramarye (meaning magic or occult learning), which itself came from the Middle English gramere and Old French gramaire.
Key Etymological Evolution:
Medieval Roots: In the Middle Ages, grammar (grammatica) referred to the study of Latin and general scholarship. Because literacy was rare and associated with the clergy, this learning was often conflated with magic, astrology, and the supernatural.
Scottish Adaptation: By the 1720s, Scots speakers altered grammar to glamour to specifically denote a magical spell or enchantment that deceived the eyes, as seen in Allan Ramsay’s poem The Rise and Fall of Stocks.
Semantic Shift: Popularized by Sir Walter Scott in the early 19th century, the meaning shifted from "deceptive magic" to alluring beauty or charm by the 1840s, eventually becoming associated with Hollywood and high fashion by the 1930s.

Apparently Hunter was keeping up appearances around 2014.
I think that's the same year he got the Burisma board gig.
Hunter crashed out later on when he failed the drug test for the Navy and got discharged, I think.

They saw the people scream at high echelon conservatives in restaurants and streets, beat some up in their neighborhoods, shoot them, harass their families so they've been forced to move on to military bases, threatened Supreme Court Justices....and they were amused, at minimum.
But in the end, they know what the progressives' capabilities are & that they can just as easily be turned towards them.
It's a new day for them, too. C19, poor education & constant protests have changed their lives, too.
