When the Feds interrogated him he coughed up he was living with the Canos and that old lady Cano was getting him day jobs. Oops. Somewhere in the swirl of court documents it was noted the TdA guy's phone was in the Cano's possession and apparently contained inquires about getting hand grenades and something about some headless corpses.
Old man Cano, when he got wind of the extent of what was coming smashed this dear youth's phone and tossed in a dumpster. Big guess: getting a federal obstruction charge was way better the getting snarled up in what was on that phone.
Plus their attorney is my attorney. Las Cruces is just, well, it is what it is.

Now, men who took the drug, finasteride, are coming forward with disturbing claims — alleging it left them with shrunken or bent penises, burning testicles, and deep emotional scars. "

There are a bunch of films that make me scratch my head, especially lately.
Get this: they just, this year, added in a requirement that all of the people who vote on best film have to actually watch the movie.
Kramer vs Kramer actually won that year but Breaking Away was nominated. But the competition wasn't strong: Normal Rae, Apocalypse Now, and All That Jazz were the other nominees. I think Apocalypse Now is a really interesting and memorable movie but best? Its pretty flawed and doesn't even really have a story.

Sadly, part of my language classes in high school was "cultural" study in which mostly we did these cringy circle folk dances. I hated it. All of it. I wished I would know ahead of time when the teachers was gonna pop those on us so I could get sick that day.

Growing up in Vegas in the 60s and 70s was a trip (don't recognize it now).
Had a fair number of friends (including my first girlfriend) whose fathers were in the mafia. Most of those kids got great jobs out of high school in the casinos parking cars (valets) and carrying bags (bellmen) -- making near minimum-wage but six figures annually in tax-free tips.
One of my buddies from football got THE primo gig at Caesar's Palace (the classiest & most expensive place back then): bellman who helped "run the hookers." Rich guys would come into town and ask him to arrange $1000/night hookers to visit their rooms -- and of course he'd get paid a decent referral fee.

“Well, I understand where Tylee is in heaven,” Lori said. “I know what she’s doing and where she is, so it’s been almost six years since she passed away.”
She added, “I mean, this is the catalyst, right? What happened with her and Charles was the catalyst of her killing herself. So I was precluded from talking about that. I was precluded from bringing that up. But the detectives obviously don’t say that she killed herself.”
Lori further claimed that she told her surviving son, Colby Ryan, that Tylee died by suicide after killing her younger brother J.J., per the outlet.

We were out for a walk in Boston one day and ran into Leslie Bibb who was in town for some acting thing. She spent about 15 minutes covering him with kisses and love. Her boyfriend who was with her, Sam Rockwell, was not happy and looked at me as if it was my fault. Made me smile which made him even more unhappy.

He was immediately met by other security once outside the casino, and instead of calling the police -- they took him to a nearby alley and beat the sh*t out of him. Last time he tried that stunt ...

The Week In Woke
Vegan "butcher" complains has her "vegan butcher shop" goes bankrupt.
Vegan 'butcher' unleashes as business dries up amid surprising new trend: 'We're out of money' The owner of a once bustling vegan butcher shop in Sydney fears her business will soon close amid an emerging trend away from meat-free products. The shift has resulted in dozens of vegan restaurants closing, companies that made meat alternatives collapsing and supermarkets shrinking their vegan offerings - though those in the industry have struggled to put a finger on why. Suzy Spoon has run meat-free butcheries that bear her name in the Sydney suburbs of Marrickville and Newtown for more than a decade but business is drying up. 'Woolworths has reduced our range dramatically and Harris Farm has quartered what they would buy from us before Covid. It's terrible for our business,' the entrepreneur told news.com.au. 'We're out of money. We're out of everything, we're tired.' She said she has seen other vegan business making a shift to serving up some meat products. 'But I can't do that, because that's just not how I roll. That will never be what I do.' A shift away from meat had been happening over the last decade. At its peak, one report found that between 2020 and 2023 there was a 47 per cent increase in plant-based meat sales - but over the last two years it seems the bubble has burst. ... A quick browse of the Australian Vegan Reddit thread showed that its being noticed by those who adhere to the diet. 'What happened? For a little while it was awesome being vegan in Australia. But the last few years have been brutal,' one person said.See if you can psychically divine what this "Suzy Spoons" pyrsyn might look like. Do you have an image in your mind's eye?
Breanna MorelloYou probably know that when the White House began investigating the leaks of top-secret information to leftwing "news" outlets, one group of suspected culprits were all the Obama/Biden appointees hanging on to "advisory" board positions. They've now all been fired. Thank goodness.
@BreannaMorello BREAKING NEWS Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ended the service of all committee members on DOD advisory committees. This would include the seat held by Susan Rice.

Surprise! Adam Carolla was right when he said that California would slow-roll approvals for rebuilding the houses the city and state conspired to destroy, and Karen Bass and Gavin Newsome were lying when they said they'd accelerate the permitting process.
Months after the catastrophic wildfires that devastated large swaths of Southern California, Los Angeles--under Democrat leadership--continues to lag in its rebuilding efforts. Despite President Donald Trump's swift declaration of a national emergency and promises to waive federal red tape, city officials have only approved a fraction of the necessary rebuilding permits. Key Details: As of late April, just 23 rebuilding permits have been issued in Pacific Palisades, where 5,619 structures were damaged or destroyed. President Trump declared a national emergency within days of his inauguration and pledged to waive all federal permits to speed up rebuilding. California Assembly Leader James Gallagher blames Governor Newsom and Democrat lawmakers for dragging their feet despite federal action.John Cusack, who seems to be learning disabled, claimed that MAGA crucified Jesus or something.

A federal judge on Friday gave preliminary approval to a new White House press policy that downgrades The Associated Press to the same status as newspapers, eliminating the wire service's previously privileged access to the president. U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump appointee who had earlier ruled that the White House unlawfully discriminated against AP for declining to use the term "Gulf of America," said the revised policy appears to be viewpoint neutral. "I'm not inclined to see anything wrong with it," said McFadden during a Friday hearing. The new policy places reporters from the Associated Press--along with those from Bloomberg and Reuters--on equal footing with newspaper outlets like The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times. Under the revised rules, AP photographers will also hold the same status as other photojournalists.Ugly charisma vacuum Pedro Pascal once again showed that Disney allows leftwing firebrands to alienate as much as the public as they like while also firing Gina Carano for saying that the Nazis began their campaign of hatred by first normalizing the hatred of one neighbor for another. That's not the real reason they fired her. They fired her because she wouldn't bend to the trans mafia and post her pronouns. But Disney didn't want to admit that they fired a popular actress for not obeying the corporate line on constant promotion of transgenderism for children, so they claimed that Carano's warning about the Nazi campaign of hate was some kind of attack on the Jews. Really. Anyway, here's the guy who's about to lose his career after Fantastic Four makes $60 million in its opening weekend:
Advertisement As a result, AP reporters will now join the rotating pool of journalists who cover the president's daily activities. With dozens of outlets in the rotation, this means AP will receive special access less than once a month, on par with the newspapers.
Pedro Pascal blasted author J.K. Rowling for her latest trans tweets, calling the author a "heinous loser" in a comment on Instagram. The Last of Us star was responding to a post by activist Tariq Ra'ouf, who criticized the author for celebrating the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom's landmark ruling last week that trans women should not be recognized as women and that "sex" should legally mean biological sex. Rowling had posted, "I love it when a plan comes together," along with noting to a critic, "I get the same royalties whether you read [my books] or burn them. Enjoy your marshmallows!" Wrote Pascal in the comment section of Ra'ouf's post: "Awful disgusting SHIT is exactly right. Heinous LOSER behavior."In related news, Pedro Pascal's skin looks exactly like an aerial photograph of Dresden in June 1945. BTW, Gina Carano is obtaining information about how much Disney pays Pedro Pascal. She wants to show the court how much Disney will pay someone for following their corporate political line.
Remember, California passed a law to protect communists. The law says that employers cannot punish employees for political speech. If it protects dirty filthy communists, it also protects nice Catholic girls like Gina Carano.
Gina Carano is getting the salaries she's looking for. A federal judge has ruled that the mixed martial arts fighter turned actor will be allowed to see compensation information for other stars in the "Star Wars" universe on Disney+, including Pedro Pascal, Diego Luna, and Rosario Dawson. The April 3 ruling came in a lawsuit Carano filed against Disney over her termination from the "Star Wars" spinoff show "The Mandalorian" after two seasons. Disney announced in 2021 that Carano wouldn't return to the show for a third season after she had made social media posts comparing political conservatives in America to Jews in the Holocaust, questioning the results of the 2020 election and the use of masks during the coronavirus pandemic, and using the pronouns section of her Twitter (now known as X) page to mock transgender people. Carano's lawsuit, which was funded by X owner Elon Musk, accuses Disney of violating California labor laws by firing her because of her political views. Disney says the company has creative control over which characters it discontinues as well as a First Amendment right to disassociate itself from Carano's views. As part of the lawsuit, Carano's attorneys asked for salary information related to a constellation of other stars in "Star Wars" shows on Disney's streaming service. They said the information was crucial for calculating damages if Carano were to win her lawsuit. Carano's lawyers also argued Disney should be forced to disclose salary information for the lead actors of other "Star Wars" shows -- such as Amandla Stenberg and Luna -- because Carano had been set to star in a "Mandalorian" spinoff titled "Rangers of the New Republic" before Disney fired her. US Magistrate Judge Steve Kim ruled in Carano's favor, ruling that Disney needed to turn over a spreadsheet or chart of the compensation Pascal, Dawson, and the costar Carl Weathers received for the first three seasons of "The Mandalorian," Dawson's salary for "The Book of Boba Fett" and the first two seasons of "Ahsoka," Stenberg's salary for "The Acolyte," and the compensation Luna received for the first two seasons of "Andor."

The plan we're watching play out: Overload the country with as many unvetted illegals as possible, by any means necessary. Know that mobilization of resources and enforcement operations to remove them would be extraordinarily daunting. Rely on heavily funded leftwing legal groups and activist courts to delay, obstruct and impede deportations at every possible turn -- -- in an attempt to nullify the election result and override Americans' overwhelming desire for deportations, while looking to enshrine millions of illegals permanently into the country, reshaping congressional apportionment and securing future voter blocs for the Democrat party. In parallel, utilize that same set of lawfare groups and activist judges to fight any and all election security measures, such as implementing voter ID and stopping non-citizen voting. And, of course, count on their legacy media PR arm to run information ops and secrete a never-ending deluge of propaganda to run cover for it all. The end goal being: Single-party, permanent power. If Kamala would've won, the borders would have remained open, and mass importation would've continued. Game over. Because Trump won, and the border closed -- the judicial contingency has been implemented. That's where we are now. The plan stays in motion, as they attempt to run out the clock on Trump 47.

Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_ EXCLUSIVE: The families of two teens killed by an illegal alien who crashed into them while drunk, high, & speeding at 100 mph in OC in 2021 have been told by the state of CA that their killer will be released from prison early in July, just 3.5 years into a 10-year sentence for killing the teens, who both burned alive. Oscar Eduardo Ortega-Anguiano, a twice deported Mexican illegal alien, had a lengthy rap sheet prior to killing 19-year-olds Anya Varfolomeev & Nikolay Osokin in the DUI crash on the 405 freeway in Seal Beach in November 2021. Both were US citizens, and they were dating. Ortega-Anguiano had several felony convictions, had gone to state prison, and had multiple convictions for driving without a license, but was still on the streets when he crashed into the teens' vehicle. In spring of 2022, Ortega-Anguiano was convicted in OC of two counts of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated for killing the teens, and a judge sentenced him to serve 10 years in prison for each count, but concurrently, meaning he would serve both 10-year-sentences at the same time. The victims' families felt that was already a weak sentence, but they tell me they were notified by the CA Department of Corrections on Easter Sunday that Ortega-Anguiano is scheduled for an early release on July 19th, 2025, only a little more than 3 years into his sentence, leaving the victims' families shocked, and outraged given the seriousness of the crime and his prior criminal history. They provided us the CDCR document showing the July 19th release date. The CA Department of Corrections wouldn't confirm the release date when I reached out, saying they "cannot provide information on an incarcerated person's release date or location in advance of their release." They added that "incarcerated persons may earn credits for participating in rehabilitative programming, which may move parole eligible dates to an earlier date. ICE confirms to @FoxNews that they have placed a detainer on Ortega-Anguiano with the CA Dept of Corrections and intend to take him into custody upon his release. They hope the CA Dept. of Corrections will honor the detainer request and transfer him to their custody upon his release, which they often do. But the families fear, even if he is deported, he will just re-enter the US as a gotaway, as he's done twice before.

All of this has been obvious for some time. Or, another way to put it is that Ron DeSantis walked so that Donald Trump could run. When the time came to formulate a policy response to the woke left, no one mattered more than the governor of Florida. He tried to ban critical race theory in education. He sharply limited discussion of gender and sexuality in public schools. He tried to limit the free speech of university professors. He retaliated against Disney when it had the audacity to exercise its freedom of speech to criticize the governor's policies. And through it all, DeSantis declared that Florida was the place where "woke goes to die." In his second term, Trump is a scaled-up version of DeSantis. Every element of the DeSantis model has been deployed against Trump's ideological enemies. Trump retaliated against law firms based on politics. He's attacking the academic freedom and independence of private universities. He's sweeping immigrants off the street based on nothing more than the content of their speech. Precious few anti-woke activists objected to DeSantis's tactics. And precious few object to Trump today. It turns out that when they said, "Let us speak," they weren't embracing free speech as a universal value, but rather as an instrumental value -- free speech is important only so long as they get to say what they think. The left? It's too dangerous to be heard.He continually fails to note that the speech being "controlled" here is the speech of paid employees of the state "teaching" children. He thinks woke teachers have an unassailable right to fly their freak flags for other people's children. He's in favor of censoring rightist speech so that adults can't hear it, but when right-leaning people forbid radicals to indoctrinate children on the taxpayer's dime (and therefore rightly subject to oversight by the government cutting their checks), he claims their speech rights are absolute. We must protect adults from hearing Trumpian claims, but children? Feel free to talk about anal dildos and polyamory with them. Like other hard left-wing propaganda organizations, the Dispatch is offering up the canard, "Well, some of the most extremist left-wingers accuse us of not being left-wing enough, therefore, we must be down-the-middle centrist."

"It's just so bad. Their policy is so bad," Trump said, shaking his head. "You know, they're great at cheating, and they're great at certain things, but they are so bad on policy, they're so far off." Trump pointed out the absurdity of the Democrats clinging to the same losing strategies that already cost them a major election defeat. "When I watched them trying to prosecute the same things that just lost an election in a landslide on, and they're still going through the same things. It's just crazy," he said. "And they don't know who their leaders are." Turning to the party's emerging figures, Trump singled out Crockett. "They have a new one, Crockett. Have you seen Crockett? Have you ever seen her talk? This is going to be their leader?" he asked incredulously. Beck joked that he hoped Crockett would be the next Democratic presidential candidate, to which Trump responded with a mix of amusement and concern. "Well, we can hope in one way," Trump said, "but in another way, it's pretty demeaning. It's demeaning to our country. You don't see anybody out there."Video at the link.

Except for the meat substitute section. It was stacked full. Empty shelves all around it, but not a package missing from the vegan section.

It would be hard to find the Trump analogies they are going for. Maybe the pharisees? It is kind of a group effort (which is the point and reason for the Savior.)

Financial Manager for the Army setup a fake NGO and stole $108 million dollars from taxpayers. Buys 31 homes and 80 vehicles, paid for by you
“She incorporates a fake children's charity and awards herself an army contract — US Army approves this children's charity — A totally fake nonprofit. There's absolutely nothing for children. 7 year period. She steals $108 million
From you and I, the taxpayer. All of it goes into her pocket. Not a dime of that money goes to the kids. It's all going into her bank accounts
She spends the money
- 31 different homes in Colorado, Maryland, New Mexico, Texas, and Washington
- She bought 80 motor vehicles
- Packages were arriving every day from high end retailers. The UPS guy is the one who gave her the nickname, the Gucci goddess, because he was constantly delivering these high end items to this McMansion that she bought.“

The public was promised all sorts of benefits to "plant-based" "meat". It was supposed to be more nutritious, taste better, use less resources, thereby being cheaper, and reduce global warming.
Despite all the promises, most of these products are significantly less nutritious, deficient in many amino acids. People tried the stuff and it certainly didn't taste better, and the ones claiming to taste like meat actually tasted much worse.
The ones which actually were nutritious were more expensive that even great cuts of meats, which blows the "less resources" argument.
To top it off, the average person doesn't believe the global warming crap.
They promised, they were given a chance, it turned out to be bullshit, and the market has moved on. "Creative destruction", I think it's called.

Well, if you bent the fork (and you pretty much have to, to get any of the tines into the receptacle), and got one tine into the hot slot, you'd get a zap. Unless it was a GFCI outlet, which are normally found near where forks frolic.

My oldest bought into that big time. Whole song and dance, yet struggled to maintain weight. Her boyfriend at the time was just a regular dude and at one point offered her a chicken wing at a bar, and she forgot herself and bit into it...
...and oh the JOY of that bite! It was so filling, so flavorful, the texture, she had another, and then another and could feel strength flowing into her system.
And that was the end of that. She still likes the designer feel-good foods, but has no objection to poaching one of my steaks when the grill is running.

You know, the thing I've never understood about the "Christ killer" Jew hate is that he came in order for that specific event to occur. Assuming the Sanhedrin had been "better people" (or, I suppose, Pilate had a spine) rather than the equivalent of modern politicians, GOD would have achieved his ends via different means. Not to mention the fact that they would have, presumably inadvertently, been thwarting HIS will. Even assuming that all Jews, for all time, bear the burden of the actions of people over 2000 years in the past, they were acting as GOD required, albeit unknowingly.

The Sanhedrin hated Christ and hated that he was able to actually heal people, discuss the scriptures, and put them in their place. They wanted him dead. The crowd said let it be on our heads and that of our children in the gospels. That doesn't mean that they could do that. As the Epistles and Christ Himself pointed out, man was no longer going to be punished for the sins of his father

Thats pretty funny. Best seen being summarized TY commentor summarizing it with some wit. There was some trauma on the male side, but one argument turned out well when a man scorned for 'wasting time' trying to repair a fish net managed to break thru and catch many fish and was celebrated, and his main detractor apologized.

"The Jews" are not one united group. Most of the Jews listened to Jesus ... sermon on the mount and other occasions. (JJ speaks of the current "self gassing Jews)
As always, groups get big then get taken over by evil forces. The recent pope for instance, but OT history has occasions of a few faithful Jews having to hide in caves, from the corrupted institution.
Corruption of large institutions is an OT theme. (Noah, Sodom and Gomorrah, others). No Group is universally United. Evil infiltrates and divides ... and conquers.
Even Apostle Paul said those that had stood wth hi had turned against him, and he names a few that stood faithful. The "remnant" of faithful are (generally) Never the Large Group.

Umm, they tried to stone Him to death.
Pilate said he found no fault in Jesus, offered him up for release, to which the Jewish mob cried "Crucify! Crucify! The Pilate washed his hands (literally and figuratively) of the sentencing, to which the Jewish mob cried "His blood be on our hands, and the hands of our children."
Other than that, they bear no responsibility in the matter.

Yeah the Passion Plays usually make that clear. Sometimes going too far in the line of making him compassionate. Likely a ham-fisted dude who cared little for local politics. In one instance a Roman whipped his tool out at Jewish festival and they went Berserk and Rioted. Pilate called in the Army and the mob panicked and many civilians were crushed trying to get away.
Reading a sufficiently detailed history of Judea in that period makes you think since the Jews then were as nutty as Islamists today.

The term "Arab Christians" is pure propaganda. They are as Arab as I am. They are the descendants of the Jews who converted to Christianity in the time of Christ. The notion that the Arabs who overran the Levant in the 7th Century AD would somehow product Christian converts is absurd.
The Chaldean Catholic liturgy still uses the actual Aramaic, which is as familiar to them as Shakespearean English is to us.

Historically Arab Christians more of a post Islam effect, though there may have been some about earlier. The tribes living in the desert between Persia, then Islamic areas and the Levant held by Rome and Byzantium and Persia and Isalamic converted to one religion or the other and sold their cavalry to both sides for scouting, with a side line in Banditry. They used the religious tie to have a tenuous protection from the other rival empire.

Don't think so, they did not have the right to capital punishment under Roman Law. So they had to get Pilate's permission to do so.
When the Apostle Paul was similarly brought up on charges, he, as a citizen used his right to appeal to the Emperor in Rome and they had to ship him there.

This is the dilemma guys face ladies. You might not grok this: we can never tell if you're just doing it hoping for tips or being nice or actually interested. For the record I was only in town a day, am not interested in a hook up, and was too tired and not feeling great so no date, and was there with my cousin, so not able to date even if she jumped in my lap and asked for one. Its just... women complain about not being asked on dates or following through in "hints" and that's the problem

Fake News The Left Can Use: USAID Has Been Funding Leftwing "News" Agencies Around the World
Mario NawfalMeanwhile, the left authorized $4 trillion in taxpayer dollars for their own political warfare uses:
@MarioNawfal EXCLUSIVE - BOUGHT AND PAID FOR: HOW $472 MILLION BUILT A GLOBAL LEFT-WING MEDIA MACHINE In February 2025, WikiLeaks pulled back the curtain on a government-funded media empire that's been quietly shaping what billions of people read, watch, and believe. At the center of it all? A group you've probably never heard of: Internews Network. Funded mostly by USAID, Internews presents itself as a friendly nonprofit supporting "independent journalism." But behind that noble-sounding mission lies a global operation that critics say is more about managing narratives than reporting facts. The numbers are jaw-dropping. Nearly $473 million--yes, that's nearly half a billion--has flowed to Internews from USAID and the U.S. State Department over the past 2 decades. Add in millions more from billionaire-backed organizations like George Soros's Open Society, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and you've got a media Frankenstein stitched together with government cash and private influence. In 2023 alone, Internews claims to have worked with 4,291 media outlets, produced 4,799 hours of programming, and trained over 9,000 journalists. It also says it reached an audience of 778 million people worldwide. That's more than double the population of the United States. But here's where things get murky. Internews isn't just giving media groups equipment and microphones. It's tying grants to ideological conditions. In Hungary, for example, officials accused Internews of funding anti-government media under the guise of "media development." If you didn't toe the line, you didn't get the money. In Ukraine, it funded 9 out of 10 major media outlets--almost all promoting pro-NATO, pro-conflict content during wartime. And it's not just about news. In Kosovo, just months before major protests broke out in Serbia, Internews offered grants to reporters to write in Serbian. The pitch? Promote "positive" stories about Albanian-Serb relations. Sounds harmless--until you realize this was a foreign-funded push to shape how people talk about sensitive ethnic conflicts. Then there's Internews' Earth Journalism Network, which recently launched a $100,000 media grant focused on climate reporting in Asia. Sounds great--except that the fine print gives Internews and its donors the rights to edit and publish all the content. So yes, they're funding journalism--but they're also controlling the output. Even advertising isn't off limits. Through its "Ads for News" program, Internews partners with GroupM, the world's biggest media buyer, to funnel ad dollars to "trusted" outlets. If you're not on the list, you get nothing. It's a digital loyalty program--except instead of points, you get credibility and cash. Internews is led by Jeanne Bourgault, a former U.S. government official who made $451,000 last year. She previously worked on post-Soviet "transition programs" and oversaw a $250 million budget at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. In 2023, she launched a $10 million media fund at the Clinton Global Initiative--a project backed by Hillary Clinton. The Internews board includes big Democratic donors and political insiders, and WikiLeaks says at least one of its six subsidiaries is based in the Cayman Islands, a notorious offshore haven. Meanwhile, its headquarters in California? Reportedly an abandoned building still listed in official filings. Let that sink in: a half-billion-dollar media empire, pushing narratives in dozens of countries, funded by your tax dollars--and run from a ghost office. Internews says it's here to "support press freedom." But as one media analyst put it, "It's not about giving journalists a voice--it's about choosing which voices get heard." So the next time you read a "fact-check" or see a story calling something "disinformation," remember: it might just be brought to you by the same people who paid $473 million to decide what the world thinks is true.

Insurrection Barbie
@DefiyantlyFree This thread shows how $4 Trillion in Federal Funds Were Funneled Through Leftist NGOs to Enrich Activists, Mobilize Voters, and Power Anti-Trump Protests--With Receipts This is maybe the most important thread I have ever done. It explains how the two biggest pieces of legislation from the Biden administration filled the coffers of all of these activist groups that have been engaging in the Trump 2.0 resistance. From GOTV efforts, to Anti-Tesla protests to the legal battles against Trump. The Center for American Progress (CAP), founded by Clinton ally John Podesta, is more than a think tank--it's the strategic command center for the modern Left. Under Biden, CAP helped orchestrate the biggest activist cash grab in U.S. history: $4 TRILLION.
When Biden tapped Podesta to oversee implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act--a $369B climate fund--it wasn't just about energy. It was about control. Podesta's real mission? Redistribute billions to Democrat-aligned NGOs. But that $369B was just one piece. The combined total from COVID relief, infrastructure, and climate bills under Biden exceeds $4 TRILLION. CAP helped shape who got that money--and it wasn't the states. It was activist orgs. Enter the Justice40 Initiative--designed to steer 40% of benefits to "disadvantaged communities." In practice, this meant bypassing elected officials and funneling funds directly to NGOs, most of them progressive-aligned. These grants weren't just for "climate justice." They funded GOTV, "community empowerment," "trusted messengers," and "technical assistance." Translation: campaign infrastructure disguised as public service.
Organizations like Indivisible and the Sunrise Movement became major beneficiaries. Both have organized anti-Trump protests, Tesla shutdowns, and youth voter drives--and both have received massive indirect support through these federal programs. Indivisible used its gains to grow chapters in every swing state, launch digital voter targeting, and coordinate pressure campaigns against GOP legislation. Their footprint expanded after receiving funds through "equity" and "democracy advancement" grants.
Sunrise Movement, tied to "climate resilience" grants, led protests at Tesla showrooms and occupied congressional offices. In 2024, they claimed to have made over 4 million youth voter contacts, playing a massive role in Democrat turnout. Podesta and CAP created the policy architecture that made this possible. They advised federal agencies to embed "equity" mandates and prioritize "community-based organizations" (aka: progressive NGOs) in grantmaking. In total, the Justice40 Accelerator--just one program--helped NGOs win $138 million in grants. That's just the tip of the iceberg.
Let's be clear: these aren't apolitical charities. * Indivisible was built to oppose Trump. * Sunrise led sit-ins to demand Biden go further left. * Faith in Action and EDF advocate openly for progressive legislation. And they're all funded by your tax dollars--thanks to Podesta's CAP and their policy-to-grant pipeline. This is government-funded activism, hidden behind a green mask. CAP didn't just lobby from the sidelines. Its alumni staff the Biden admin. Its reports became agency regulations. Its "equity" mandates were inserted into budget guidance. This wasn't legislation. This was executive-branch capture. Voters never approved it. Congress never debated it. And now, the Left has permanent infrastructure--built and maintained by public funding. Meanwhile, conservative groups get nothing. No parallel infrastructure. No grants. No embedded agencies. Just censorship, audits, and public smears. This is what they mean by "saving democracy": * Billions to leftist orgs * Massive GOTV ops under federal cover * Protest movements subsidized by taxpayers * Power concentrated in NGOs that answer to no one Final receipts: *$600B+ allocated across 500+ programs (Justice40) * $138M+ in direct awards via Justice40 Accelerator * 4M+ voter contacts by Sunrise Movement * Indivisible protest partnerships with House Democrats * CAP's direct personnel pipeline into federal agencies CAP built it. Podesta directed it. NGOs profited. And the Left now has a publicly funded political machine disguised as a climate plan. The Trump administration MUST investigate this fully.

Grok @grok 1h
Replying to @JimFreakGR @visegrad24 @hmardiris
The claim by Visegrád 24 about 10 Pakistani soldiers being killed in an ambush in Balochistan on April 25, 2025, appears to be inaccurate or false. No credible news outlets, like Dawn or Geo News, report this incident, and the video in the post likely shows a March 2025 attack by the Baloch Liberation Army, not a new event.
Visegrád 24 has a history of spreading misinformation, with a "low credibility" rating from Media Bias/Fact Check. This aligns with your skepticism about their posts.
While Balochistan faces ongoing separatist violence, there’s no evidence for this specific claim. The region’s unrest often stems from local grievances over resource exploitation, like the Sui gas field, but this doesn’t support the post’s narrative.

Tensions erupted at the Vatican as the public gathered to pay respects to Pope Francis, only to be met with a strict photo ban imposed by security. After several pilgrims attempted to take selfies with the Pontiff's mortal remains, guards were forced to intervene, locking down the area and banning all phones in a bid to restore order. The solemn atmosphere quickly turned chaotic as the selfie-obsessed crowd clashed with security personnel. With the Pope’s body lying in state, this controversial move has sparked heated debates..."

Someone did a check on one of the earlier 60 billion chunks.
Something like half was payments/contracts with US weaponeers for equipment or ammo. Another 10-20 went to Ukraine government or NGOs there, most of which was proably stolen. So about a quarter got to the Ukraine military, where another chunk was stolen, leaving maybe 15 percent to actually hit the front line.

Been a custom of many Eastern Europeans since I was a kid. They would take a picture to send back to the relatives in Poland, etc. Still done. Two years ago, the 100 year old mom of my neighbor passed away. She immigrated here from Poland after WW2. Pictures were taken that were then sent to her relatives in "the old country", Poland. No selfies.

The Left Is Now Shrieking About a Right-Wing "Womanosphere," Even Worse Than the Manosphere, Because It Encourages Young Women to be "Thin, Fertile, and Republican"
I mentioned this in last night's Quick Hits, I think.Hey I already said that.
Left-wing media has identified a dangerous new political archetype: the thin, fertile, Republican woman. Beware the burgeoning online "womanosphere" urging an audience of young women away from feminism and towards marriage, children, and being attractive, warns The Guardian. The outlet points to prominent conservative commentators such as Brett Cooper and Candace Owens, along with publications like Evie Magazine, as emblematic of this clunkily-named counterpart to the "manosphere." These women are united by their "desire to return to a gender-essentialist worldview," according to The Guardian, which casts "women as submissive homemakers" and "men as strong providers." Oh, the horror.
"Gender-essentialism" refers to the outlandish belief that men and women are different. One is free to draw varied conclusions from this fact. The left has taken up a strange quarrel with the concept of biological sex itself, an argument which defeats itself at the outset. How can one analyze why female commentators specifically appeal to females without acknowledging the validity of the category? The outlet warns of "an organized effort" to create an "alternative rightwing media ecosystem targeting young female US audiences." One discerns the outlet's terror at the prospect -- no great wonder, given the much vaunted "podcast strategy" helped win over young male voters to Donald Trump in the 2024 election. "Organized" is supposed to be a dirty word. It connotes an insidious masterplan to take women off birth control and put them on quick-slimming diets. But the legacy media, with its extreme left-wing bias, is surely no less organized and strident in its political and cultural prescriptions than the "right-wing media." Notice the asymmetry in terms. The New York Times and Netflix are simply media. They claim neutral ground. It's a powerful rhetorical trick. If they can successfully assert themselves as unbiased observers and artists, they fashion reality itself in their terms. ... "Young women have been hailed as the saving grace of the Democratic party, the force that will deliver us from all those angry young men spending all their time listening to podcasts, but that's not a given," writes The Guardian. Therein lies a sick admission. The Democratic Party prefers women fat, infertile, single, and unhappy. Why? Because those women make the most fervent ideologues. Leftism inverts natural hierarchies. It lofts the ugly and sick above the beautiful. It punishes any natural inclination towards the latter. This appeals to malcontents who depend on such an infrastructure to confer them status and meaning. Or a green card, as the case may be. Who profits by a woman being thin and fertile? Why, only the woman herself, the young men interested in dating and marrying them, her future family, and all the rest of society by extension. The left's supposed concern for female "freedom" and "independence" is false. They'd just prefer women be dependent on the state, not a husband.As I frequently say, the Democrat Party is the Husband of Last Resort for unmarriagable, miserable, mentally-ill women. Here's a bit more from this deranged screed from The Guardian:
It's not only rightwingers who have gripes with contemporary feminism. Many on the left have been critical of shallow "girlboss feminism" (the bipartisan backlash to the embarrassing Blue Origin flight being a case in point), noting that impossible expectations are placed on women in a crassly capitalist society that offers little support for working mothers. According to a 2023 survey run by the non-profit Catalyst, four in 10 women said they felt they would need to change jobs in order to manage childcare demands, and the US is still the only rich country in the world without a national paid parental leave policy. Yet for this new womanosphere, the response is not advancing policies like paid family leave or affordable childcare, but to return to an idealized, illusory past where being a wife and mother was viewed as a woman's sole purpose. Young women are particularly vulnerable to these appeals. Like their peers in the manosphere, these commentators are capitalizing on a real crisis of loneliness and economic precarity facing gen Z. "Social media has truly given gen Z a warped sense of reality," said Cooper, who has described dating apps as "treacherous" and a "barren" landscape. The alternative vision these influencers are proposing is scarily retrograde and would strip women of their freedom and economic independence. "You want to go back and sit in a cubicle when you could have this, like, beautiful amazing child that you've created with the love of your life?" Cooper asked rhetorically on a recent podcast appearance. Instead of trying to have it all, women, she said, need to change their priorities because "if you aren't going to the gym, if you aren't taking care of yourself, if you don't like children, if you only care about your career, and you hate the patriarchy" then a desirable man is "not going to go for you". The type of woman these commentators valorize is thin, straight, fertile, traditionally feminine, conventionally attractive to men and white -- though they try to avoid overt racism, instead opting for sentiments like, "as a minority woman, I'm here to say that you'll be happier and more fulfilled if you aren't consumed by thinking about your race." Anyone who falls outside of this narrow mold is subject to relentless mocking and disparagement. Though they have different tactics and tones, like their cohorts in the manosphere, they play with the idea that calling women fat or ugly is fun and transgressive -- framing it as part of a virtuous quest to rid society of woke, feminist ideals. Young women have been hailed as the saving grace of the Democratic party, the force that will deliver us from all those angry young men spending all their time listening to podcasts, but that's not a given. While young women still went blue in 2024, Joe Biden's 35-point lead in 2020 dwindled to a 24-point lead for Kamala Harris. Other demographics, like Black and Latino men, broke with historical trends to shift to the right this election. Emily Amick, an influencer and political analyst who has been observing the trend on her Substack, said that people might underestimate the womanosphere's impact at their peril. "What we saw in the 2024 presidential election was that the manosphere had a lot more impact than a lot of people expected," Amick said. "I believe that the conservative movement is running the same play with women, and in 2028 we are going to see a massive impact of the messaging machines they have been building."LOL. If only the left had such a network of propaganda nodes...
... In the past two decades, mainstream women's outlets have made attempts to emphasize overall wellbeing instead of outer beauty and valorizing thinness above all. Evie sees this as wokeness run amok. They want to bring back your mother's -- or your grandmother's -- women's magazine, in which it was OK to celebrate a certain body type over others. "When we encounter a heavily tattooed, blue-haired, obese, gender-neutral individual with a bull-ring, that person is communicating to us that they actively disregard the standards for normality that the majority of people agree on," read a 2021 piece titled Objective Feminine Beauty Is Not A Relic Of The Patriarchy. ... Maggie Bullock, a women's magazine veteran who co-writes the Spread, a newsletter about the industry, said she saw outlets like Evie as trying to be something of a "gateway drug" into more extreme conservative ideologies. "Like, we're nice and we're pretty and we're not that radical, don't worry, we're just telling you the truth," she said. "It feels like a wolf in sheep's clothing."What would we do without experts.
...The entire premise of this article, that the Womanosphere is a Great and Growing Threat, relies on overstating its reach. But now, in paragraph 30, they tell you it only has 210,000 subscribers.
Evie's reach shouldn't be overstated -- it has 210,000 followers on Instagram, compared with Cosmopolitan's 4m, and has only put out three print issues in four years -- but they're increasingly finding new ways to garner attention.
You mean how "journalists" pretend they're not partisan so that their clear partisanship passes under people's radar undetected? If only the left had this sort of powerful messaging machine!
From Phyllis Schlafly in the 1970s, who helped mobilize young Christian women against the Equal Rights Amendment, to Ann Coulter and Moms for Liberty, women have long played a role in spreading conservative propaganda. But what sets these new voices apart is that they don't all market themselves as political commentators. In this sense, they are cribbing from the success of the manosphere, which won new Maga converts in part because most of its leading figures weren't explicitly partisan.
Multi-hours-long podcast episodes and Twitch streams from the likes of Rogan, the Nelk Boys or Theo Von are typically much more weighted to cover sports, gambling, drugs and dating than they are to talk about which bill is passing in the Senate. The leading voices of the womanosphere are using a similar strategy. As Brittany Hugoboom put it in an op--ed for the rightwing outlet Quillette: "Conservatives will never win if they imagine themselves as combatants atop defensive battlements, hurling abuse on the mass media. We need to involve ourselves in the creation of pop culture." ...You mean how celebrities attempt to leverage their fame and public goodwill into influencing people's political thinking? If only the left had a network of propagandists such as these! Oh, and I love how the left, which has for 60 years railed against artificial additives in food, are now positively in favor of adulterating food with as many unsafe chemicals as possible.
The coalition drawn to fringe wellness ideas is multifaceted: from the "crunchy" moms frightened of toxic chemicals they believe are in our food and pharmaceuticals, to the chronic illness sufferers frustrated with a medical system they feel has let them down. Yet the savvy voices of the womanosphere have responded by weaponizing genuine anxieties -- which have complex roots and few easy answers -- and serving up far-right propaganda on a platter. "It's sneaky," Clark told the Washington Post. "I want to be seen as: Alex Clark, cool girl, loves health and wellness, happens to be conservative. I'm not trying to beat people over the head with that. I don't think that's persuasive."
...Another expert weighs in.
Clark's crusades against topics such as birth control -- that it "accelerates ageing", "induces abortion", causes cancer and fertility issues -- make more sense in light of the Trump administration's pro-natalist policy agenda, which organizations like Turning Point USA and Project 2025 have spent years crafting. "It's all tied together with the goal of shaming women who have sex and who might get pregnant, and ensuring that they really are forced into the idea of this nuclear family because it preserves current power structures," said Dr Jennifer Lincoln, an OB-GYN in Portland, Oregon. "They come at it from this Maha angle of 'we have to protect women,' and then they legislate away people's choices to use these medicines that are literally life-saving for so many people."

I have limited date, but there appears to be a special and greater rage about what RFKj has been saying about autism and its potential causes.
I heard some talk radio voice say, he wants to register all autistic people to do in depth causation studies. I'm not feeling so comfortable with that mindset myself.

Some twenty years ago, she spoke at the university where I worked. I'm sure there were objections from some quarters, but we didn't have any "fiery but mostly peaceful" protests.
If someone were to propose that she, or a similar speaker, give a lecture on campus today? Fire and brimstone would rain down upon the oh-so-foolish proposer.

Simple comparison shows conservative women to be more attractive, less crazy, in possession of a sense of humor, and not diametrically opposed to common sense.
So why not denigrate all these qualities? Or, better yet, project the thought that these women are just fooling you by playing the part.
Here's the silver lining. The article(s) are nonsense. The authors know it's nonsense. But, they have absolutely no idea how to show their own team in a positive light, and they won't be changing any time soon. So they create this chimera of an explanation hoping it rationalizes the behavior and appearance of their side.
This is funny, and they don't understand why it's funny. That's the best part.

There is a kind of perverse genius at work here. Autism seems to mean "we have no idea what, or why, but that boy ain't right."
Everything from non-verbal to "does not want the peas to touch the mashed potatoes on the plate."
And in between it somehow includes Rain Man.
So RFK is talking about the "profoundly" disabled. But everyone wants to be diagnosed as on the spectrum because it means they have no time limit on SAT. We end up with a class of millions defending their status as a class, claiming simultaneously that it is a disability, a protected class, *and* not bad or a problem in any way that we would want to reduce potential causes.

Long long ago in the mists of yesteryear when people had good manners, it was expected that when a woman rose from the table to leave and return it was expected that all the men at that table would rise from their chairs, both upon her departure and upon her return.
In order to show consideration for the men at the table, so that they weren't bobbing up and down like corks in a bathtub every time a woman got up, women all left the table at the same time, so that all the men would only have to stand twice - once when the women left, and once when they returned.
The context has been lost, as men no longer stand when the women leave the table, but the habit of all the women leaving the table at once remains.

The New York Times Whines That an Illegal Alien Was Deported After 21 Years (Cue the Violins) "to a 'Home' He Barely Knew"
Their headline and propagandistic twitter post omitted a highly relevant fact: He was a drug dealer convicted of kidnapping. He then served 15 years in prison for that crime.
Via Twitchy, this is outrageous propaganda. Twitter should limit the NYT's account to exercise some control over this Fake News Russian Disinformation.Tricia McLaughlinThe article does grudgingly admit his ticky-tack kidnapping conviction and the 15 years he served in prison. Though the Times insists that that conviction is in doubt, because, the Times says, this deportee "disputes" the conviction. Ah, I see. A convict "disputes" his conviction. Well why didn't you say so? Obviously he's innocent because no convicted criminal would ever lie. But most people aren't going to see the article -- they're going to see the headline, and the twitter post, and those claim that he's just a guy who got deported.
@TriciaOhio The New York Times conveniently glossed over that this illegal alien, Nascimento Blair is a convicted kidnapper and was sentenced to 15 years in prison. In 2008, he was issued a final order of removal. Because of the Biden administration's open border policies, this criminal illegal alien was released onto the streets of New York.
You are a convicted criminal. That's why they look at you like you're a convicted criminal.
Nascimento Blair returned home in shackles. He landed in Jamaica in February, 21 years after he had abandoned the island, seated next to dozens of his countrymen who were also handcuffed. As he stepped off the plane at the seaside airport in Kingston and felt the scorching Caribbean sun of his youth, Mr. Blair, 46, was greeted with suspicion. Still dazed, he looked out of place. He had on the same winter clothes -- a peacoat, turtleneck, gray suit and Chelsea boots -- he had been wearing when U.S. immigration authorities had abruptly detained him on a frigid morning in New York City weeks earlier. He noticed his slightly Americanized accent as he sat through hours of interrogation by Jamaican authorities at the airport. And he felt like an outcast as Jamaican officials snapped his mug shot, took his fingerprints and asked about his past. "They don't look at you like a Jamaican," Mr. Blair said. "They look at you like a criminal."
So it was his kidnapping conviction that got him deported, and not racism and/or "fear of brown people," huh?
Mr. Blair did not give them details about his past, an odyssey that began with a side hustle dealing marijuana in the New York suburbs as a 24-year-old Jamaican transplant, which led to a kidnapping conviction he disputed and a 15-year prison sentence he fulfilled. It was his criminal past that had gotten him deported from the United States, where he had been rebuilding his life and seeking redemption.
He had earned two college degrees, started a trucking business, mentored people released from prison, cared for a fiancée with breast cancer, taken classes at Columbia University.Oh wow he took classes at Columbia night school. He's a regular Maryland Father.
LOL. The article pushes the factoid that he was released from prison in 2020 -- the year of the covid crisis -- and Trump didn't deport him before he left office. The NYT seems to believe that if a president doesn't make it his top priority to deport you as soon as he can, then you are grandfathered into remaining into the country forever. By the way, the NYT talks about this guy "living in America" for 21 years, as if he has squatters rights that kick in after that time period. For fifteen of those years "living in America," he was living in federal cell because he's a drug-dealing kidnapper. He kidnapped someone and was convicted of it within a few years of coming to America and enriching our precious diversity with his crimes.
None of it would stave off deportation: He was among the first few thousand immigrants scattered across the globe during the early days of President Trump's deportation campaign. On paper, Mr. Blair fit the profile of the people Mr. Trump says he wants to deport: those with criminal backgrounds. In a statement, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security blamed the Biden administration for not deporting Mr. Blair sooner. But to Mr. Blair and his supporters, his life story was one of rehabilitation, nuanced and filled with qualities that they believe Mr. Trump's deportation machine disregards as it flies out immigrants en masse.
The New York Times conveniently glossed over that this illegal alien, Nascimento Blair is a convicted kidnapper and was sentenced to 15 years in prison.

He has never legally worked in this country, I would imagine. We locked him up for 15 years, that's not cheap.
I imagine he's been on every welfare program known to man for the 21 years he was here, other than the 15 years he was in prison.
And I'm sure we've also paid for his cellphone, housing, medical care, etc.

Yeah, I agree thats very likely what happened. But that's infuriating to me. Because if someone trying to follow the law wanted to start a trucking company, that involves a lot of paperwork and DOT numbers and inspections and insurance and up front capital. Not to mention getting a CDL, and passing a physical, and random drug tests.
But when our buddy here (New York man?) violates all kinds of laws and regulations to run his illegal business, he obviously has a massive cost advantage to the guy trying to do it the right way.
That's not a victimless crime at all.
Not to mention, what happens if one of his uninspected, uninsured trucks, almost definitely driven by an unlicensed illegal alien, kills someone?
The whole thing is fucked.

I don't want him here legally, either.
He has a home. In Jamaica. I have a home here. He can stay there, I can stay here.
Why does the entire fucking world get to fill out some paperwork and throw some money at attorneys and all of a sudden they're just as American as I am? And half the time they're just here to make money, have some anchor babies, then retire back "home" where their money goes farther?
My family is buried here. My family fought in multiple wars here. Generations of my family paid taxes, worked shit jobs, got treated like shit to work their way up so that their grandkids and great grandkids could experience "the american dream".
And that all counts for nothing?
And the "we're all children of immigrants" thing is bullshit. It was in the US's best interest to settle the west when the huge wave of Irish and Italians came here in the late 1800s to early 1900s. It wasn't out of some ideal about unlimited immigration.

I know many immigrants who came here to work. I've never met one who came here because they're huge fans of George Washington and the American Way.
They see us as a giant economic zone where they came come and make money. The illegals do it while skirting / ignoring all of the laws that hold back Americans from doing those jobs. They pay no income tax and operating in the gray and black market. The legal ones play disgusting nepotism games to get their entire families on payrolls at companies to cheat the visa system.
And those are the best case scenarios.
If we're just an economic zone and not a country with a unique culture, then someone should tell us that, so we'll be sure to stop paying taxes and stop signing up to fight in the North American Economic Zone's wars.

Communists do that intentionally. There are two outcomes, both positive from their perspective. 1) They succeed in getting the criminal off or out of prison, in which case they've demonstrated their power, or 2) They don't succeed, in which case they have an issue for further agitation ("free Mumia al Jabongie, or whatever his name is).
Win-win.

Mr. Blair may "barely know" his actual home, but he virtually never "knew" life as a person legally residing in the US. Came here in 2004 when he was about 20, convicted in 2005 (violating the terms of his admission), and paroled in 2020, while under an order of removal, the appeal of which was denied. Methinks he hath received more than the process due. But then, I'm not a fe(de)ral district judge.

Donna, he had a deportation order about three years into his 15 year sentence for kidnapping and drugs. So he was released in 2020 from prison. Basically, with the outstanding deportation order, if he tried to get parole for green card status, he might have got it or might not have but then would be deported or on the run.

This is how the vast majority of people in the earth function. The US (and most of western europe) is the exception. That's why the US and western europe have been so wildly successful.
So instead of trying to export that "do the right thing" mindset to the world, we decided to import millions of people who don't believe in that, don't have a "social contract" with us, and could care less about Americans or their weird social norms or anything like that.

I hate to break it to you, but it's not hard at all. It costs about $20k US, depending on which country you're coming from. And yes, it can take some time (that's just how our government rolls), but as far as actual investment of a persons time? An hour to consult with the attorney, an hour to consult with the "consultants", and maybe an hour to talk to someone in the government if need be? Almost all of this done over Zoom.
Basically, you pay the consultant, he fabricates a resume for you, the lawyer does the paperwork and submits it all, and you get your visa.
I've personally witnessed at least 200-300 cases get processed like that from inside a law firm that did some immigration work as a side hustle.

Well not directly. It started to die for me when they decided to virtue signal against Trump in his first term.
But they were also pushing for AI writing. Then in the last 16 months it was found they had performed no vetting for any volunteers who were going to mentor authors who were minors. And the final bombshell is, they cannot get any loans because their financial paperwork is basically written in crayons.
Their own published stats show their participants started to decline in 2019 and kept declining during the COVID lockdown years. From about 132,000 in 2018 down to 95,000 in 2022.
But they were paying 65% of their annual income of $1.3 million in salaries.

The e-5 visa (investment visa) is another huge scam. It's favored by the Chinese. Here's how it works: they get 50 people together to "pool their money" (ahem, CCP money) to invest in a new condo building in Queens. They claim it will create "x" number of jobs, and they use Obama math on that. They build a shitty Chineseium building and sell the units to unsuspecting retards and recoup their "investment".
The 50 people get their visas, the company that built the shitty building shuts down, the retards that bought the units sue everyone in sight, and then they move on to the next building.
Then those 50 people have kids here, get family visas for their spouses, etc. etc.

Probably enough to retire on, if you live somewhere relatively inexpensive. But yeah its not like it used to be. According to World Population Review
The average household in the United States spends $61,334 a year on expenses. On average, 34.9% of spending, or roughly $1,784 a month, is dedicated to housing and housing-related costs. The median price of a single-family home in the United States is $273,992. Nationwide, the average rent for a two-bedroom apartment runs $1,154 a month.
You can probably get away with less than that, because people tend to spend too much on crap they don't need like 6 streaming services, etc. But surely not much less than 40 grand a year on average.

If you mean Harry, he and William have more or less become enemies over Harry and Meghan using their royal status to put out harmful lies about the Royal Family in print and interviews. Meghan because of her poisonous grifting personality has no popularity among the ruling set in England so a return to there would probably never be in her cards.
Harry basically repeated the Edward VIII story of his great uncle. Including being dominated by his gold digging spouse. And they were more or less treated as unpleasant creeps and Edward, in his abortive and useless attempt to regain the throne when his brother died poisoned any chance that Elizabeth would forgive and forget.

It's a group dynamic. I endured it when I reported a child molestor to leadership in the SCA. There's probably a better psychological term for it but basically, when people have invested a great deal of time and energy into a thing, like a football program or a mideval history group, and that thing is threatened by scandal, they will go to great lengths to defend it, even breaking character. And that's what makes so soul crushing - you go to the people you trust and respect and they turn on you Be aware of it so you're not crippled by it.

Trump Unveils His "Secret Weapon" to Bring Racist Universities in Line
Deep State Media organization NPR:What a weird way to say "he's fighting blatant racial (and political) discrimination in taxpayer-funded schools."
President Trump on Wednesday signed a list of executive actions aimed at both higher education and K-12 schools. One of the actions takes aim at college and university accreditors, organizations the White House says have "abused their authority by imposing discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)-based standards." Another promises new discipline guidance for K-12 schools, with the goal of "ensuring school discipline policies are based on objective behavior, not DEI," the White House said in a statement. "Today's Executive Orders pave the way for critical innovations -- inviting more competition in the higher education accreditation system, ensuring transparency in college finances, supporting new technologies in the classroom, and more," Education Secretary Linda McMahon wrote on social media.
Sponsor Message The collection of orders aim to cement Trump's conservative agenda when it comes to education in America, including rolling back the policies from the Biden administration, bolstering workforce training, improving teaching about artificial intelligence in schools, and launching a new White House initiative on historically Black colleges and universities.
The order pertaining to college accreditation directs McMahon to "overhaul" the system. Accreditation is the process colleges are required to go through to receive federal financial aid, aimed at ensuring that a program meets an acceptable level of quality. Trump referred to accreditation on the campaign trail as his "secret weapon" in his efforts to combat what he considers ideological bias in higher education. The executive action aims to use the process as a way to hold colleges accountable for "ideological overreach" and to increase "intellectual diversity" on campus. The action directs the education secretary to recognize new accreditors in an effort to encourage more competition. Trump has previously modified the accreditation system: During his first administration, he removed restrictions that forced schools to use accreditors based on their geographic region. "Trump's goal is to manipulate accreditors in order to force colleges and universities to do his bidding and punish them when they resist," said Todd Wolfson, president of the American Association of University Professors in a statement. "He is weaponizing the accreditation process to gain the leverage he seeks."
Another executive action warns that federal grants for universities could be revoked if schools do not complete "full and timely disclosure of foreign funding." In a briefing announcing the order, White House staff secretary Will Scharf said, "We believe that certain universities, including, for example, Harvard, have routinely violated this law, and this law has not been effectively enforced." Federal law already requires schools to disclose gifts or contracts worth $250,000 or more from foreign entities. In a statement, a Harvard spokesperson said the school had, for decades, been in compliance with the law. On Truth Social on Thursday, Trump dug in on Harvard again calling the university "a Liberal mess" and "a threat to Democracy."He also is revoking Obama's and Biden's executive orders which demanded that schools not punish black kids, and/or severely punish white kids to make up for the fact that so many black kids violate school rules.
LOL. Princeton University's President defiantly continues racist policies which other Princeton professors admit deliberately disfavor whites, Jews, and males of all races.
In an executive action aimed at K-12 schools, Trump requested new federal guidance on school discipline. The measure calls for revoking previous policies by Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama aimed at reducing racial disparities in, for example, suspensions and expulsions. The new guidance would prohibit using "racially preferential discipline practices." "Trump's order empowers local school boards by encouraging real discipline," said Tiffany Justice, co-founder of Moms for Liberty and a visiting fellow at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank. "By ending federal overreach, it frees educators to focus on teaching, not chaos, ensuring kids get a quality education." But some civil rights activists disagree. "These executive orders are another move to dismantle civil rights protections," said Judith Browne Dianis, who runs the Advancement Project, a civil rights nonprofit. "The Administration wants to rebuild the school to prison pipeline but civil rights law is clear: schools cannot punish students more harshly because of race, color, national origin, sex, or disability."
Christopher F. Rufo and Ryan Thorpe report for City Journal:
Princeton also has an illegal policy to discriminate against white suppliers and vendors.
Amid the ongoing showdown between the Trump administration and the Ivy League, one university president has positioned himself as a leader of the academic resistance: Princeton's Christopher L. Eisgruber. Earlier this month, the Trump administration suspended hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer-funded grants to Princeton as part of its investigation into racial discrimination and anti-Semitism at the New Jersey campus. Eisgruber, though, was defiant, telling the New York Times that he's "not considering any concessions" and calling for other university presidents to follow his lead. This isn't Eisgruber's first bid for the spotlight. After the death of George Floyd in 2020, he declared that Princeton--where he has served as president since 2013--was guilty of "systemic racism." In a letter to students that September, he went so far as to claim that racism was embedded in the very "structures of the university itself." Eisgruber was right to say that he presides over a system of racial discrimination--but not in the way he imagines. The university does not discriminate against "oppressed" groups, such as blacks and Latinos, but against those seen as "oppressors." "At Princeton, it's totally common knowledge that there are favored groups and disfavored groups," one professor said. "And the disfavored groups are whites, Jews, males," and others commonly disliked by the Left. A City Journal investigation confirms that Princeton has, in fact, entrenched a system of racial discrimination and segregation. We have obtained more than a dozen internal documents and conducted interviews with a half-dozen employees, who confirm that the university has flagrantly violated the principles of the Civil Rights Act in the name of "social justice." The basic structure of this system is the university's "diversity, equity, and inclusion" bureaucracy, which has expanded dramatically under Eisgruber's tenure. An infographic circulated by Princeton shows at least 40 academic and administrative departments with established DEI committees, with the express purpose of adjusting the campus's racial composition. As Princeton's first annual diversity report noted, "Every administrative and academic leader is being held accountable for demographic evolution." According to several Princeton faculty members, "demographic evolution" is a euphemism for racial quotas and outright discrimination in academic hiring. A 2021 internal report outlining best practices for faculty recruitment described how staff were trained to "increase the diversity of the applicants at every step in the process." The report advised search committees to discount negative references for minority candidates and to ensure that every shortlist included at least "two women and/or two underrepresented minority candidates." The implicit message from Eisgruber and the administration: don't hire white men unless absolutely necessary. According to one professor, who requested anonymity for fear of reprisal, this meant abandoning merit-based hiring in favor of race-based preferences--the only way, given the current pipeline, to accomplish Eisgruber's stated goal of increasing "by 50 percent the number of tenured or tenure-track faculty members from underrepresented groups over the next five years." Though many of these policies relied on euphemism, some were openly and explicitly discriminatory. The university's Target of Opportunity Program, which was cancelled shortly before the 2024 presidential election, made funding available for departments to hire "candidates from groups that are underrepresented on campus." According to conversations with Princeton professors, this referred primarily to racial minorities and women. The program covered half of each hire's salary, allowing departments to bring on new faculty without bearing the full financial burden. In effect, the administration created financial incentives to prioritize hiring racial minorities.
One hundred Yale professors signed a statement recommending that the school freeze all new hiring and conduct an investigation into its own hiring practices. This, they hope, will forestall a federal investigation. The statement points out that faculty hiring has "stagnated" while "administrative" staff -- mostly in DEI make-work "jobs" -- has grown by double.
...
The reality is that Princeton has violated the principles of the Civil Rights Act. It may have gone further: in Morenoff's estimation, its contracting policy likely ran afoul of New Jersey civil rights law ("among the strongest, most sweeping non-discrimination statutes in the nation") and the Civil Rights Act of 1866. And its hiring preferences may have violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits racial discrimination in hiring unless the employer can fit one of a few narrow exceptions--which, Morenoff said, there is "good reason to doubt." While Eisgruber has remained publicly defiant toward the Trump administration, he seems to recognize his vulnerability. The university has been quietly scrubbing its website of DEI materials and recently updated its page to include a statement on Princeton's ostensible commitment to "equal opportunity and non-discrimination."
This is fascinating. More than 100 Yale professors have called for an audit of the university's sprawling bureaucracy.
— John Sailer (@JohnDSailer) April 25, 2025
The audit, they say, would "preempt potential federal intervention" and send the message: "Yale prioritizes intellectual vitality over bureaucratic inertia." pic.twitter.com/C37Fjk6FuE

Odds are yes to at least trimming the huge administrative staff overload. Ratio of staff/admin to professors is now something like 3 tenured faculty to one administrator. At Ivies, it is more like 1.5 or so admin to tenured faculty.
Used to be, administrators like Deans, etc. would do their stint and then return to their jobs as regular faculty. Instead, now, we have national searches for administrators that have no idea about the place they landed but are eager to rise up to the next position either at the current university or up the food chain.
That is where you get lame brained initiatives from admin that bulk up costs, do nothing, and consume useful faculty time for teaching or even the increasingly worthless research required to keep your position.
Admin simply have MOAR as their standard for promotion--more money, more spending, more staff.

GOP officeholders come from the insulated class (see Codevilla's The Ruling Class versus the Country Class). Back when I studied regime longevity, there was a theoretical construct, I think the author was Eric A. Nordlinger but it has been years, posited that regimes get away with more shit with more insulation from the consequences of bad decisions.
From memory, he used the concepts of insulation, malleability, and resistance to determine regime longevity. Insulation from the people for ruling class is key because it protects them from removal and punishment for bad decisions.

If "underrepresented minority" is their criteria for who gets preferential treatment now, then that necessarily must mean that WHITE MEN should get preferential treatment, since after 50 years of racist "affirmative action" policies, they are the ones underrepreented as compared to how many would have been hired if everything was merit-based.
So yeah, let's bring it on. "Underrepresented." You got it.

Reform is going to have to occur at the state level. Federales only account for about 10 percent or so of school funding and even that will decline if Trump wins his budget fights.
Constitutionally, education falls under the police powers reserved to the states under the 10th. As long as they do not discriminate (which the federales can punish), then fed power is limited to carrot and stick in certain areas like disabled or Title I students. Plus school lunch money.

Some might think a university's core mission would be the teaching and creation of knowledge. They seem to be identifying core "stakeholders."
>>Yale has five times as many administrators....
>>It's an absurdity--but one that, ironically, gives us an edge.
This is nuts. So it is an advantage to be so wasteful that they have lots of room to improve? Is this how they teach their kids? I can imagine "You got an F, but that gives you an advantage because you have so much to improve"!
This is 3rd rate high school logic. Yale.

Observational equivalence problems. Those that get passed through do benefit. Those that try and fail don't.
Closest example is by a UCLA law prof back in the day that did a rigorous study of affirmative action and law students. He found that attrition in mismatches between admits from aa to a highly ranked school that had below median scores and grades were more likely to drop out and not complete than if they attended a law school where their scores and grades were in the median (50 percent above and below).
The ones that survive the process benefit but the only way to raise the whole disadvantaged group up would be to water down standards.

I read it as the standard pissing contest between administration and faculty.
Faculty mostly complained about lack of salary increases and they see that big pot of money going to administrators.
This has nothing to do with DEI, or waste, it is them wanting the power. They want faculty back on top of the pay scale heap. Everything else is a bullshit diversion.

There is actually an opportunity, if played right, to cause massive conflict in education over money between the line workers and the administrators.
Administrators in schools whether universities or K12 are increasingly divorced from any reality of classroom teachers. Yet, they get paid more and more while teacher salaries (and that of professors) have stagnated since the 70's in real terms) in most states.
If these were publicly traded corporations, they would have been gutted of administrator bloat years ago but with them controlling the budgets, they push the cuts inevitably downwards onto the professors or teachers leaving themselves unscathed. Lot of buried anger and hatred there to be exploited by the right politicians.

They benefit in salary, but a lot of that is DEI and affirmative action hiring.
When most people see a minority candidate from any school, including UCLA or Harvard, they wonder if they are competent.
This applies to all professions and anyone in business understands this. Black Harvard Doctor? I'll pass. Lawyer, accountant? Pass.
You never know if any minority is qualified because so many incompetents were helped along. This is a shame and a tragedy. This harms the qualified minorities the most -- their unqualified brethren get good paying jobs to make the annual report photos look diverse, but everyone considers them suspect.
Not-accidentally, it helps the white elite class the most.

Easy, School board members are part time, get goodies from trips, etc. and get their egos stroked by smart administrators. Most have no training in running a business (not a corporate drone here), accounting, finance, etc. Often, they are retired educators themselves. So poor oversight until something bad happens then a change at the top sweeps nothing below and the cycle continues.
The looting is far worse in the big city districts because a lot of money, declining student enrollment, and easy to hide looting the system when you have a disengaged electorate.
Colleges have something similar plus the idiocies of Big Sports attached to them. NIL is likely to end that as in order to pay money sport players vast sums, they will gut and cut every non revenue sport they can to try to make ends meet.

A lot of the answer depends on exactly what question you ask. I took the question to be whether it benefits disadvantaged minorities and yes it does as far as future earnings prospects. Sucks for the dropouts.
If you are discussing society wide, then probably not worth it from a cost benefit analysis given mismatch theory which is why Scotus finally acted in the Harvard and NC case to end it.
Much of it was created by Nixon and LBJ in part to prevent a return of the disastrous riots gutting a lot of American cities in the late 60's. So the idea was pay a Danegeld in order to prevent minority black leaders from going full on Commie insurgency.
Give them a stake in society sort of thing. But once you pay the Danegeld, you never get rid of the Dane peaceably.

If "underrepresented minority" is their criteria for who gets preferential treatment now, then that necessarily must mean that WHITE MEN should get preferential treatment, since after 50 years of racist "affirmative action" policies, they are the ones underrepreented as compared to how many would have been hired if everything was merit-based.

So leaving out those who have their kids in private schools, those parents in public schools pay outsized property tax amounts (due to property values) to get their kids in good schools. They rarely rock the boat. Plus most of those school elections and bond issues are held at inconvenient off cycle elections where you are lucky to get 10 percent of the registered voters to turn out. A large proportion of those voters are teachers, staff, and administrators or family members thereof.
So nothing changes until there is a scandal causing changes at the top with little change in administration.

Large enough school district, they don't give a shit about individual parents. Actual knowledge on the ground. And that is despite the fact that much of the time it was a happy hunting ground for the GOP and had schools rated at the top of the state pecking order in academics for public schools.
Parents can and do help control smaller districts and I have seen mixed results in medium sized from my observed experience.
But, where I live has a lot of corporate transients that come to a place, live a few years, watch their property values increase and then they are gone to another suburbia school district. Transients rarely get involved in school district politics because a) no time to do it due to transit and business demands, and b) they figure they will move on in a few years to somewhere else.
See the same dynamic in local politics as well which has a negative effect on corralling county and city commissions as well.

It is actually clever, the administration largely ignores the faculty senate until they throw a temper tantrum, then they get talked down by some senior member aka provost, VP etc.
Administration also uses the Faculty Senate to address trial balloons for new policies and such which results in make work for everyone--surveys, focus groups, time in dept. meetings to go over line by line some statement or new policy.
I stayed out of that Faculty Senate gig preferring to work with student groups over a talk fest with no power. Bad enough to serve on tenure and promotions committee or hiring committees which I did frequently.

Grievances rarely get resolved especially when you keep poking at the wound--see Euroland for example. But, one of the major factors hurting the black community is family breakdown. Blacks, before desegregation had about the same level of marriage and marriage length by statistics.
The center of the black community was black owned businessmen, lawyers, doctors, teachers, and civil servant workers like postmen. So they were the standard to be measured by in that community and the youths in that community had to play by the rules by and large.
No marriage with kids is a recipe for trouble with kids.

Agreed, and this goes to the point I've been inarticulately trying to make for weeks -- our CIA / Pentagon (and the USSR, of course), created most of the horrible political situations in the 20th century.
Or at least had a very heavy hand in steering them.
Left wing governments had to crack down on dissidents because the CIA was creating, bribing, and arming those dissidents.
"Right wing governments" sometimes got CIA help, sometimes got USSR help, sometimes had both countries funding their preferred candidate. (right wing of course being the broad "anything the left doesnt like at the moment" term, not how we use it in the US political system).
This instability and assassinations and bribery and tomfoolery obviously led to a lot of bloodshed all over the world.

Leaders of the House and Senate GOP are trying to hammer out legislation before taking it to the floor regarding the reconciliation bill on taxes plus spending bills now that the budget framework has been approved. There is also a debt limit that has to be raised in June or thereabouts.

BTW, I was thinking that maybe the word "nubile" -- which actually means "eligible for marriage" -- is a shortening of nuptible, or ready for nuptials.

Low production of cortisol is Addison's. Addison's is what JFK had that nearly killed him before he was prezzie and also is easier to treat nowadays.
Cushings results in too much cortisol provoking overeating, being thirsty, hypertension, and various other bad things for your system.
It is a real thing as my poor dog exhibited and it has very bad side effects on humans and dogs. Some dog breeds are prone to it as well.

Speaking of Pinochet: One thing that annoys me about the commies and authoritarians like Pinochet is that he was actually a lot more benign than his rep. Sure, he killed about 3-10k commies, but almost every one of them was during the coup that brought him to power or in the immediate aftermath.
For commie totalitarians, 10k dead in a moderately sized country like Chile is a slow weekend.
On the other hand, Pinochet had great military tailors and his helicopter tours showed that he had a sense of humor.

We had to learn about it the hard way. As our dog's case (caused by an inoperable pituitary gland tumor) progressed. At first, diet, melatonin, and lignans from flaxseed oil helped. Then we had to get more drastic giving lysodren that actually attacks and destroys the outer layers of the adrenal gland itself. Constant blood testing was necessary to monitor as too much lysodren dosage kills the adrenal gland pushing the dog into Addison's. Old timey vets used to use lysodren to kill the adrenal gland because it was easier to treat by daily medicine for Addison's at the time than Cushings.

That is what happens when cobs borrow the time machine. They encode warnings about the future in such a way that it does not create paradoxes.

I would hazard a guess that the biggest fraud in government is hidden in the programs that are least likely to be cut:
Social security, medicare / medicaid / VA hospitals, DoD and State.
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there is a lot of fraud in corruption in Dept of Agriculture, etc. as well. But if I were trying to hide slush funds, I'd go to the political third rail parts of government to do so.

I think that what bothers them deep down is that they know if Trump were to actually kick in the door of this rotten structure and send it tumbling down, few people would care.
All his voters and most of theirs know this corrupt government and its cheesy republican trappings is nothing but a big ass scam.
Somebody is eventually going to say "no more, this ends with me." And it won't be Trump, but it will be soon, and this is a moment when the Party are wrong footed.
The formal end of representative government in the US was supposed to be executed by Democrats, and they are for the first time worried the prize may be snatched away.

Delicately. But, I think it more likely that Casey doesn't run because even DeSantis is losing his mojo in his seventh year as governor with the state legislature. De Santis has quashed the rebellion over cheap labor Republicans there but it is still an issue.
It is possible that you get a Vance-DeSantis ticket though or less likely the reverse order in 2028.
Open presidential contests get more contenders than when you have an incumbent or a quasi incumbent like Killary.

If you count city, state, and federal, I think it would be correct. Cumulatively, state and local have actually been piling on the fat even more than fedgov has in new employees, pensions, etc.
From Grok,
"State and local government spending on various categories has shown significant growth over the years. For instance, public welfare spending, largely driven by Medicaid, grew by 485% between 1977 and 2021.
The federal share of Medicaid spending also increased from 55% to 69% during this period. Health and hospital spending grew by 266%, while elementary and secondary education spending increased by 136%.
Higher education spending grew by 168%, though the increasing share of tuition payments as a funding source complicates this figure. Police spending grew by 189%, and both corrections and housing spending saw significant increases of 346% and 329%, respectively, although they remained a relatively small share of overall spending"

From Grok. My guess is adjusted for inflation but AI doesn't always tell its secrets.
Calculations using GDP are a bit easier and GDP combined of state, local, and federal spending is about 36-37 percent of the total gdp when you disentangle transfer payments between governments.

FBI Director Kash Patel Announces Arrest of Milwaukee Judge for Obstructing an ICE Raid
I'm not sure why he deleted the post. I guess so as not to comment on an active case. The tweet was screencapped before it was deleted:
Federal agents arrested Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan on Friday morning for allegedly obstructing an ICE operation involving an illegal immigrant. ... Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested Friday morning on charges tied to obstruction of a federal immigration operation, according to statements initially shared by FBI Director Kash Patel. In a since-deleted post, Patel accused Dugan of "intentionally misdirecting" federal agents who were attempting to arrest an undocumented individual, identified as Eduardo Flores Ruiz. The arrest took place at approximately 8 a.m. inside the Milwaukee County Courthouse. Brady McCarron, a spokesman for the U.S. Marshals Service in Washington, D.C., confirmed the arrest to The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and noted that Dugan is currently in federal custody. The Journal Sentinel had previously reported that the FBI was investigating whether Dugan interfered with federal agents during an immigration arrest attempt last week. According to their report, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrived at the courthouse on April 18th to execute an arrest warrant on Flores Ruiz, who was scheduled to appear in Dugan's courtroom. ... Patel also confirmed that Flores Ruiz is now in the custody of federal authorities. While the FBI has not yet issued an official public statement, Patel's remarks suggest the agency believes Dugan's actions directly enabled Ruiz to avoid apprehension during the initial attempt.
🚨FBI Director Kash Patel just announced that the FBI arrested Judge Hannah Dugan out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin on charges of obstruction after evidence of Judge Dugan obstructing an illegal arrest operation last week. FAFO! The activist judges must be stopped.#FridayVibes pic.twitter.com/8dB8JyjigV

Of course, a few Milwaukee city/county politicians are talking about needing more security around the courthouse, so this cannot happen again.
Let's see, that would make the courthouse the safest place to hide from the police in Milwaukee County. Sounds about right for some of these nuts.

Trump needs to force them to post bond for all the money they think they'll get. No doubt a judge will rule that they don't have to.
All you haters should look on the bright side. By the time that Trump's four years are through, the federal judiciary will have thrown out 98% of the US Code.

BREAKING: The constitutional crisis has arrived. We knew it was coming, just not when.
Busting into a courthouse where a judge is presiding and then arresting her because they "believe" she tipped off a suspect? This is outrageous. It's fascist, Nazi totalitarianism by the book.
Maybe states need to start mobilizing their militias to deal with this? What happened to the "jack booted thugs" that the phony right was always screeching about? I guess who is wearing the jackboots is all that matters to them.
They can arrest a judge they disagree with, but not a president who defies court orders? Trump should be hauled off in handcuffs and thrown in prison.

AFAIK, only Cali has actually passed laws to aid illegals... which is a federal crime.
Everyone else just has laws saying that they don't care and won't assist the feds. Interestingly, the court rulings which permit them to not assist the feds permit that because they're not being paid to assist the feds. The fact that this was the justification is damaged by the requirement that the feds pay them even though they're doing that. Seems like it should be either/or.
Likely that's what we'll end up with in a year or so after the courts have drug things out as long as possible.

I live in Ohio, grew up in a county across the river from WV. There was a female muni court judge here who was a lush and would go to WV and get loaded all the time. She got several DUIs there and was told not to come back to the state.
Of course, she would throw the book at DUIs who came before her in court.

Catholic Charities set up a low income complex in my town - they swore that most of the tenants would be retirees and veterans, and that there would be a strict code of conduct for tenants to keep them from disturbing the adjacent residential neighborhood.
They lied through their teeth.

Do you remember Merrick Garland? Of course you do... he's the comparison you like to throw around. Do you remember everything he accomplished as AG... how he accomplished all of that despite all the straight shooting, ham and eggers at the DOJ... despite the eternal vigilance of the ever faithful Congressional Republicans... despite the steely determination of the federal judiciary to ensure that everything is exactly as it should be?
Now, who the fuck can our people trust? Who can they even assign to investigate things? When they act, how do they prevent the judges from stepping in? If they sweep past the judges, how do the stop the impeachment?
You want Trump to be a dictator but he won't be in office forever. It's March 1942. We've a long way to go. There will be setbacks. Whining accomplishes nothing.

I started dedicating myself to getting healthy (body, mind, emotions) on August 12, the first day of the school year.
I've lost 75 pounds and, thanks to Pure Barre, developed muscle tone and definition and greater strength, flexibility, and balance. Vigorous walking (30 minutes 5 times a week) has also helped my stamina.
It's never too late to choose health. It can be challenging to break bad habits and build new ones, but feeling (and looking) truly well is worth it.

The Dims were the minority party in the House, but they set up a mock "hearing" with only Dim members. The subject was wahmyn's health or some such nonsense. Fluke testified that having to pay for her birth control herself to the tune of about $25 per month was a gross injustice against wahmyns. After Rush mocked her, Dim midwits considered her a heroic fighter for their cause.
Note that Dims are gearing up to run similar "hearings" now against Orange Man Bad for whatever suits their fancy.

THE MORNING RANT: Periodic Roundup of the EV Follies – 4/25/2025
The issue came to light in October 2024 following two collisions involving Blue Bird Vision electric buses. Investigations revealed that a high-voltage system shutdown disabled the primary brake assist, and the secondary brake assist system was inoperative due to a blown fuse in one vehicle and a disconnected wiring harness in another. The lack of diagnostic warnings for these failure modes left drivers unaware of the compromised braking system, contributing to the crashes.As much fun as I have mocking those people and institutions who believed the EV hype and have taken a financial hit for their foolishness, it is deeply disturbing that children are still being subject to the consequences of this awful episode. Every electric school bus is now a sunk cost that cannot be salvaged. It’s time to permanently shut down the EV school bus experiment and get the kids back on safe, reliable, petroleum-powered buses.
Volvo is recalling thousands of plug-in hybrids in the United States as they could short circuit when parked and fully charged. This poses a serious fire risk and it could occur at night, when the vehicle is parked in your garage. That’s a scary thought and owners are being advised not to charge their vehicles until the recall has been addressed. Delving deeper into the matter, Volvo identified a “production deviation with the battery module” that could potentially lead to a thermal runaway event.There is this one amazing trick that can ensure a car owner that he will never experience a thermal runaway event with his vehicle. Can you guess what it is?
As lithium ion battery use surges with the growth in the electric vehicle market, a new multi-chemistry battery recycling facility has been opened in Kilwinning near Glasgow. The site will play an important part in Fenix Battery Recycling’s plans to develop facilities to offer on-site recycling for multiple battery types, with this site specialising in recycling Electric Vehicle Batteries.That 2021 article went on to state that this EV recycling plant was the result of “significant grant funding to develop an innovative technology to make lithium ion battery recycling cleaner and more sustainable.” Comrade Arthur originally sent this story to me, and I took the occasion to seek clarity as to whether burning a city down with exploding EV batteries is the “clean” part of green energy or the “renewable” part.
Are exploding lithium battery facilities the “clean” part of green energy or the “renewable” part?

Today’s header photo is also a picture of the “recycling” operation at the EV recycling plant in Kilwinning.
Let me set the scene for you. You buy a brand-new Hyundai Ioniq 5. You love the futuristic design, the spaceship dashboard, and the whisper-quiet ride. You’re sitting at just over 3,000 miles—barely out of the honeymoon phase. You park it in your garage, battery sitting at 78%, and go away for ten days. You come back expecting to drive off into the sunset. Instead, what greets you is a total system shutdown. The car is completely dead. Not low battery - dead. You have to use a manual key to get in, and then jump-start a brand-new 12V battery just to bring it back to life. That’s exactly what happened to James Heckathorne, who shared his experience in The Ioniq Guy Facebook group - an increasingly essential place for Ioniq owners to make sense of their EVs beyond the sales brochures and glossy commercials.There is some interesting discussion in this piece about the electrical and mechanical reasons why this problem occurs in EVs, but the fact that parking your EV for 10 days may turn it into a brick is yet another unnecessary hassle involved in driving an EV instead of a reliable ICE car.
General Motors is cutting production of its all-electric BrightDrop delivery vans at a plant in Canada and will idle the facility through much of 2025, the company confirmed Friday.If GM is idling the plant for most of the next eight months, there must be a serious glut of unsold BrightDrops.
The Detroit automaker said the decisions are not related to President Donald Trump’s tariffs. “This adjustment is directly related to responding to market demand and re-balancing inventory,” GM said in an emailed statement.According to this USA Today piece, GM produced 3,500 BrightDrops in 2024, which is about 2,000 more units than it actually sold. This means GM has more than a year’s supply of its unwanted electric delivery vans to unload! General Motors’ CEO Mary Barra was extremely obedient to her handlers in the Obama/Biden administrations, consistently implementing the destructive EV-agenda they demanded. Now it’s time for her to learn that Biden and Obama are gone and aren’t coming back, and if she is going to avoid the ignominy of being the (insanely overpaid) executive who killed GM, she needs to quickly back away from her all-EV pledge.
But [Volkswagen], like many others, miscalculated the speed with which American customers would adopt electric vehicles, betting they would go all-in on full battery electric cars, trucks, and SUVs with greater speed. But the forecasts were too ambitious, and the market is more interested in hybrids then pure EVs right now.No, Motor Trend, the issue is not “the speed” with which Americans are “adopting” EVs, it’s the passion with which we are rejecting them. We are not just rejecting electric vehicles ”right now.” We are emphatically rejecting EVs, period.
This means VW will have added electric motors to its top-selling models by volume in North America.Sure. And my gasoline-powered SUV also has a 12V battery, so I’m clearly interested in battery power when it comes to my car. I’ll keep saying it, hybrids are a bridge to EVs in the same way that eating shrimp is a bridge from beef to bug-eating. In other words, they’re not. [buck.throckmorton at protonmail dot com]

There are few US large cities, if any, in the US that does not have dysfunctional and evil politics. Part of it is the interrelationship between property developers and corrupt politicians and bureaucracy.
The other part is the concentration of gimmedats and activists that preclude honest politics at the polls. The gimmedats' votes are bought or frauded into existence, and the activists ensure that any will of the people to change things, like arresting criminals, is smothered by threats and violence.

I was going to ask (and have done so here before) if Elon has ever been asked about Lithium Ion (I keep typing the portmanteau "Lithion") battery fires.
Then decided to not be lazy and do a quick search and learned something new (and have learned from commenters here previously about the relative safety of using products with Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries):
"Tesla uses Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries, which are less prone to thermal runaway and fires compared to other lithium-ion chemistries used in consumer electronics. This choice of battery chemistry helps mitigate fire risks in Tesla's vehicles."

It would be pretty damned easy to rig an air compressor to supply "regenerative" braking to the bus. Let off the throttle, and a clutch would connect the compressor to the road wheels/driveline. You would also have an electric compressor, which would consume no more power than an A/C unit.

Attractive idea that has been implemented poorly and likely to stay that way in the short run.
Basically you get the worst of both worlds trying to bridge the EV and Gas powered worlds which makes the systems much more complex to run the damn things than either a straight EV or Gas.
Hybrids have a little of that in costing more to fix problems (Toyota by keeping their eyes on the hybrids by iterative improvement has less of that) but is a superior solution if you value mileage over all other concerns.
Propane or CNG cars require minor adjustments to IC engines and you lose a bit of power than gasoline but either one reduces emissions quite a bit if that is what you are aiming for. Great also for vehicles that you leave sitting for a long while and only need for short trips. Diesel, despite its bad reputation for particulate emissions, also excels at mileage and more importantly torque if that is what you need.

The latter hasn’t been true for years now, although the draw is usually slow. If your car can respond to a remote, has any sort of alarm system installed, or you’ve left any electronics plugged in, it will draw down the battery.
But barring a bad design on your lighter DC adapter or actually leaving devices turned on, it will take a long time. I’ve left my car undriven for nearly two months. It may take two or three turnovers to catch instead of catching immediately, but it always does start. Mind you, I do unplug the DC adaptor long-term.
In my opinion, modern ICE vehicles have far too many always-on electronics in them, they draw far too much power from the electrical system, and, worse, there really is no way to turn any nonessential systems off when the battery dies. That requires access to the computer, which needs power. We are far from being reasonably assured of getting home on the alternator when the battery dies. There’s a good chance that a bad battery will burn out the alternator very quickly.

Your not going to develope the pressure needed to stop a bus without some sort of boost so they have to run a hydraulic pump.

My dad liked diesels including cars in the 80's. He had a Lincoln Coupe that used a BMW diesel engine. Had two adventures with that car. The first was when the fuel gelled at zero temperatures and my friends and I were going to Midnight Mass. The second was when the alternator failed on a trip to the Big City for fun.
Car kept running despite the battery drawing down and we made it home.

I’m the opposite. The whole point of having a hybrid or battery-powered car would be being able to safely plug it in and never have to worry about rushing to the gas station before a minor trip.
That will require completely new battery technology, however, and research in motor vehicle-level battery tech is dominated by government funding, which only funds old-and-busted tech.
Weirdly, this is also true of grid-level power storage, even though we already know how to safely store grid-level power. It isn’t new or impressive (well, it is impressive to me) but it works and is reliable both in use and waiting for use.

In part, EPA's hazardous material removal team completed its work on December 21, 2023. EPA crews removed more than 200 tons of hazardous materials from 1,400-plus properties in fire-impacted areas. After hazardous materials were removed, a soil stabilizer was applied to prevent ash and debris from migrating off properties due to surface water run off or wind. Additionally, more than 30 tons of lithium batteries from 94 electric and hybrid vehicles and 274 power walls were safely collected from the impacted area and shipped off Maui for recycling.

I’ve had that experience, too. “Funniest” (for some definitions of funny) was driving a 1984 Mustang home at night, and noticing the lights were dimming. Well, crap. Only a few blocks to go, as long as I don’t turn off the engine I should be fine. And why would I do that.
Flashing lights in rear view mirror, that’s why.
“Did you know your lights were dim?”
“Thank you, officer. I think I need to replace the battery tomorrow.”
Fortunately, the right combination of barely turning the engine over and pumping the gas pedal at exactly the right time got it restarted. That’s all mediated through a computer nowadays, I think. Does the computer know how to start a car on low-battery conditions?

Look for a big push to ammonia as the next 'clean' fuel boondogle.
A snippet, "Chemical companies smell an opportunity. Several firms are developing green ammonia, a route to ammonia in which hydrogen derived from water electrolysis powered by alternative energy replaces hydrocarbon-based hydrogen, making ammonia production virtually carbon dioxide–free. They are also investing in carbon capture and storage to minimize the carbon impact of making conventional ammonia, creating what the industry refers to as blue ammonia."

Diesels do not require additional electrical power to keep running but if you shut it off with a weak battery, it is chancy if you can get it restarted. Especially if the engine gets cold.

DE propulsion has a lot of advantages for locomotives or ships where your power requirements are largely steady. Years ago I read a really interesting magazine article about a guy converting a trawler yacht from straight diesel to DE. Of course, his electric motors were not marine-rated so I expect that they'd corrode away into sludge within 2 years, but the process was interesting nonetheless.

I realize that the way the car companies got themselves into this mess is that they all bought into massively fraudulent financial projections, and then everyone nodded and agreed for political/social reasons. No one dared to say "hey wait, all those numbers are total bullshit!"

They'll flatten a battery just not in 10 days.
Also beware this fun escapade.
fob battery gets weak.
car goes goofy trying to connect.
car battery goes flat.
Need to charge/replace both to get going again.
Note: start/stop deep cycle battery charged right up to full.

I own a plugin, so, bullshit.
When I bought it,I was saving about $20 a week, now that gas prices have fallen it's down to about $13. I'll break even in less than 7 years. That was just for local trips. I've also taken multiple 1000+ mie trips without ever desperately searching for an operational charger. Even more importantly, in a SHTF situation, I won't be searching for gas to get my wife or myself to medical care, because I'll be charging off my (boy am I stupid, according to Buck) 10kW solar.
I have a friend who owns an ionic who routinely parks it for a week or two and never saw that problem. The self discharge characteristic of lithium batteries are waaaaay below anything that would cause a 10 day discharge. Your 10 year smoke detector uses lithium for just that reason.

Fun fact I learned docenting at a local historic house: In the old days (early 19th century in this case), there were no left- or right-foot shoes. You just bought two shoes that were perfectly straight, and over time they would conform to the curve of the feet. Must've been painful until the shoes were broken in.

I like the painting. So colorful (often used in themes related to Polish history & popular culture) & it depicts how boys of a certain age may act when given specific chores.
The artist has a lovely body of work.
Thanks. Nice lead in to the weekend.

Just NOW, the FBI arrested Judge Hannah Dugan out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin on charges of obstruction — after evidence of Judge Dugan obstructing an immigration arrest operation last week.
We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject to be arrested in her courthouse, Eduardo Flores Ruiz, allowing the subject — an illegal alien — to evade arrest.
Thankfully our agents chased down the perp on foot and he’s been in custody since, but the Judge’s obstruction created increased danger to the public.

I had a neighbor who was doing his best to get on disability, because he didn't want to continue to live in the city with all the blacks and browns (he said it a little different)
Back problems, he said. And yet from our vantage point we could see into his yard where he'd put up a heavy bag on the end of the jungle gym and he's out there punching and kicking away...
Got into a verbal tiff with next door neighbor and leapt the privacy fence like only a healthy young man can do.
Garbage human.
Apparently got his disability too, because he packed up the wife and kids to move "up north" with the good people.

This is going to be the mind-blowing bit, though.
Even if so, I bet that's still a drop in the bucket of the actual fraud, and the reason why there's been a constant push to make people angry at their neighbors and fellow Americans is to keep the attention off of the people doing the REAL fraud.

As Ben Franklin says, two people can keep a secret if one of them is dead. Basically encryption simply keeps the common riff raff criminals out of your comm loop if it matters. Not a match for the tricks of the Deep State aka Stinger inceptor towers, being able to implant malware on your phone or computer, or their computers. It is also probable that there are backdoors to anything other than open source code projects if not chips in the US itself.
My guess is Salt Typhoon, Chinese massive penetration of US telecoms among other industries, was aided by such baked in backdoors used by teh Feds to monitor the US population.

Putin hitting civilians in Kiev the other day merits equal condemnation if you are going to do scoring. Basically, there are no good guys to root for in such a place and we will actually be advantaged ourselves in the US from walking away from that mess. We spent far too much treasure, if not blood, in that morass to little effect other than enriching our Deep State and politicians.
In a match between autocrats, who cares who wins sort of like Hussein versus the Mullahs decades ago (Iran-Iraq war). We will have to deal with the consequences after whoever 'wins' (almost certainly to be Russia) in the future. That is particularly true if we stay in the decaying NATO alliance but we are better off casting them adrift as well. Let Euroland deal with Russia themselves. Rather have a Vlad protectorate than Muzzies running the place.

The Morning Report — 4/ 25 /25
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Chris Jansing Reports” that if President Donald Trump disobeyed a Supreme Court order, “extraordinary action will be necessary.”Emphasis mine. And so, the question is how many divisions does the Supreme Court and Chuck Schumer have? Of course, there's always this, which is but the latest example of who and what is the Democrat base and party itself.
Jansing said, “The Supreme Court said the administration must facilitate the return of Kilmer Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador. That has not happened. Are we at the point, Senator, where you feel extraordinary action is warranted?”
While plotting upcoming protests, Rep. Delia Ramirez, D-Ill., urged demonstrators to target congressmen at church. “Folks, colleagues of mine should not be able to go to church or to go to the neighborhood gas station — if they pump their own gas, because I work with a lot of billionaires,” Ramirez said. “They should not be able to, without seeing community asking them ‘What the hell are you doing [for] my Social Security? What the hell are you doing to protect my Medicaid? Why the hell are you not standing up to protect public education in this country?’”On a more positive note, this actually happened:
Federal prosecutors have declared intent to seek the death penalty against Luigi Mangione, according to a court document filed on Thursday evening. The filing was obtained by Courthouse News Service on Thursday. It comes a week after Mangione, who is accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, was indicted on federal charges. The court document argues that Mangione “intentionally” killed Thompson because of his position as the CEO of a health insurance company.Of course with prosecutors like Alvin Bragg and judges like Boasberg, as well as John Roberts, and more crucially with an alarming percentage of the citizenry viewing Mangione as well as Hamas boosters and Islamic terrorists and Tren de Aragua gangsters as heroes, Schumer's poisonous words as well as this filthy lying Shit-whore are a green light to commit acts of violence in the guise of personal and societal self-defense. How long before the jail housing Mangione will be targeted by Antifa goons in an attempt to break Mangione out. Of course the Hakeem Jeffries' and Titty Caca AOC's will be nowhere near the line of fire but manning the bullhorns and grandstanding in front of the CNN and MSNSDAP cameras while Banjo Boy and credibly accused intern-murderer Joe Scarborough describes the action as a mostly peaceful Warsaw Ghetto uprising moment or some such rot. Speaking of Antifa goon squads, Jan Schakowsky, an evil bint congress vermin from Chicago has decided to not seek re-election, this good news comes on the heels of would be mass-assassin-linked Illinois senator Dick Durbin also throwing in the towel. As for Schakowsky, she and especially her husband Robert Creamer are directly linked with organizing mobs and goon squads to confront and assault Republicans and others they deem as political enemies. While it's certainly good news that Durbin and Schakowsky are leaving the scene, or at least the spotlight, maybe it's too much to hope for that this might be a harbinger for a return to some sort of sanity for Illinois. Considering that the Left's bench is very dark and very deep, and that their unslakable lust for absolute power is insatiable, I won't hold my breath. Considering the above-quoted Delia Ramirez vermin is also from Illinois.
Elsewhere, I note with great sorrow the 110th anniversary of the Turkish Muslim genocide perpetrated against Armenia. Considering the nature of Islam, horrible and catastrophic as this event was, it was not and should not be viewed as an isolated incident, as Wednesday's observance of Holocaust Remembrance Day reminds us as well as the most recent slaughter of Hindus in Kashmir. And the over 100 million butchered in little more than a century, and counting (with places like North Korea, Cuba and Red China still racking up the body count), in the name of advancing socialism/communism. Evil never rests, and neither should we. God bless the memory of all who perished at the hands of totalitarian evil in all its forms.
And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know. Have a great weekend.

THE ECONOMY, STUPID - Orders for long-lasting manufactured goods jumped in March, far exceeding expectations and building on prior gains, according to data released Thursday by the U.S. Census Bureau. New orders for durable goods rose 9.2 percent to a seasonally adjusted $315.7 billion, after a 0.9 percent increase in February. Economists had forecast a more modest 1.4 percent rise. The gain was powered by a 27.0 percent surge in transportation equipment, led by a 139.0 percent jump in commercial aircraft orders, which alone accounted for nearly the entire headline increase.

We called that "welfare" and it was supposed to usher in this glorious era where struggling families could get help. What happened is that the family unit was no longer important and women stood to make money at having kids and not a husband.

I'm no longer listening to the administration wail and beat their breasts about the Court. Yes, it's a rogue Court. Yes, it's an arm of the Democrat Party, and it runs defense for their rancid Deep State at every turn. I know the situation, and so does everyone else.
At this point, Trump has two options.
1.) Meek compliance. It's a bad option. We get another bound and gagged Trump administration, and the deep state wins yet another huge victory. But he can say he played by the rules, and he can whine a lot about how crooked everyone is, so I guess that's something, right?
2.) Open defiance. Very painful. Trump gets impeached again. He probably survives it, and also probably gets devastated in the House during the midterms. The administration accomplishes nothing else afterward - but it shatters the power of the Court and the Party, and paves the way for Trump's successor to carry the agenda.
I know which option is correct. They do too. They can be bold and aggressive, or put up the white flag. Enough chatter.

Because these derelicts are all acting in the same manner: resisting the CiC in every way their government-coddled-accountability-free will allow them.

In response Trump will use the absurdity of the courts to move Overton windows of what's politically acceptable. If we're not allowed to deport we'll be forced to encourage self-deportation by enforcing existing laws and denying all sustenance. This means going after employers and there are obvious targets to start with. It means shutting off benefits.

This sounds like a program just waiting to be scammed. It also sounds quite Elon Musk-ish. I understand the declining birthrate puts the US in a precarious position in the future. But I'm not all on board with this at all. Besides, the way things are going, the Muslims will surely cash in on this. Babies galore is already in their blueprint. And like I said, it will be rife with fraud, just like every other program that's ever been run involving loads of cash to the citizenry, dead or alive or illegal. JMHO

You’re frustrated as am I… but it’s not as though he has a lot of obvious easy options. As temporarily satisfying as it might be to openly defy judges and tell them to pound sand I doubt that would end well…. Congress-critters are boneless and that road almost certainly leads to impeachment and removal. Congress needs to start impeaching judges, including SCOTUS, but that’ll be a cold day in hades. A century of institutional capture has consequences that can’t be overcome in 100 days… or 4 years. Its orders of magnitudes better than prez Kamala alternate universe

This sounds like a program just waiting to be scammed. It also sounds quite Elon Musk-ish. I understand the declining birthrate puts the US in a precarious position in the future. But I'm not all on board with this at all. Besides, the way things are going, the Muslims will surely cash in on this. Babies galore is already in their blueprint. And like I said, it will be rife with fraud, just like every other program that's ever been run involving loads of cash to the citizenry, dead or alive or illegal. JMHO

The difficulty that Trump faces is that the media is still lying about everything 24/7 and a large portion of the US population believes that. I suspect that as the older generations die off and the younger ones who rely on different new sources matures that things will change.

Have you notice what's happening to the Democrat Party right now?
For years all I've heard is how smart Democrats are to play the long game and grind us down over time. Other than some court fights, which the left is not always winning, where exactly are they doing anything other than the Bernie/AOC Private Jets Against Oligarchs Tour? Their infrastructure is being systematically destroyed and all of the energy is on the right. In 4 years the Democrat Party as we know it might not even exist.
China just cracked again this morning on trade and Trump is going to win this fight. The courts are the left's last stand and they will lose eventually. Decades of allowing the left to infiltrate every facet of our society takes some time to dig out from but we are well on our way toward smashing them.

Otherwise they may gave been subjected to brutal torture and death like millions of Christians at the hands of the atheist monster Yagoda and the hundreds of other brutally sadistic atheist members of the Cheka who viciously hated Christians and Christianity, and took great pleasure inflicting sadistic and agonizing torture on them before death. Tens of millions.
That was the funny thing about the atheistic Bolsheviks, the more you study them, the more you learn how utterly personal EVEYTHING was with them, but always covered with some grand sounding justification.
There was certainly no love for men or mankind among these very self-absorbed, cruel, atheists. Almost like they were using some grand sounding thing as a cover for their very personal, unquenchable desire for revenge and domination.

Yes. He's a diehard believer in the system. This is inspiring in one sense. But in a time of war waged by a corrupted system, it is problem, a massive blind spot.
Wars are not won by EOs. To paraphrase Orwell, when you fight for survival, you must get dirty. If you understand the enemy, the Left (and their catspaws on the courts), and the stakes (nationals survival, i.e., our unprecedented fix of national peril), than you are guided by moral imperative toward imaginative, well-conceived actions. I submit there are methods of confronting the courts, of asserting executive authority over the courts, that have a sound Constitutional basis and that must be attempted. I've said from the beginning that confronting the corrupt (and totally predictable) usurpations of the court would be Trump's greatest challenge. It can only be met with a clear appreciation that we are at war and what such a war requires.

Congress doesn't need to impeach each rogue judge. The Constitution only requires the Supreme Court. Let Congress eliminate all the inferior courts and have only the Supremes.

Yes, the courts are a problem that needs to be fixed. I'm pretty sure the guy who fought back from the Russia hoax, the Ukraine hoax, years of lawfare and broken justice and a bullet to the head and defying the odds to win the presidency when all the experts said it was impossible is not the guy who is loves the status quo.
Trump is now the unquestioned leader of the Republican Party. It is nothing like the old party of just a few years ago. You don't have to be an optimist to look at all of the progress in just 3 months instead of dwelling on things that still to be fixed. The Maryland Dad is still in El Salvador and Trump has not stopped fighting back against the courts. Just because he hasn't won yet doesn't mean he lost.

Being on a fixed income we also see all the medical devices we can have shipped to our vacation home in Hawaii at no cost to us even though we don't need them. Free is free after all.

I saw your query yesterday about autism. I am no expert on autism and have had mostly passing exposure in my career. I certainly do not want to do a deep dive into the autism literature.
Speaking in general about my approach to any patient with symptoms of a disease or disorder, one can start by thinking in terms of categories of causes. I think of:
• Congenital- genetic mutations, brain birth defects, etc
• Developmental- parenting, nutrition, socialization,, sensory processing, nurturing, loving touch, eye contact
• Infectious- various and sundry
• Inflammatory-autoimmune, post-infectious immune response
• Metabolic- how the body handles various substances
• Neoplasm
• Toxic exposure- heavy metals, insecticides, vaccines etc
I view autism as multifaceted in terms of symptoms, with multifactorial etiology. So rather than a single thread where a single cause leads in a straight line to a specific condition, it is more like a complex (plaid?) tapestry with intricate relationships between many contributing causative factors and an overlapping constellation of symptoms.
That's all I'll say on the matter.

Now is the time - especially because Trump still enjoys the broad popular support to carry a Constitutional crisis through to a desirable conclusion.

I take solace in your words and hope you are correct. When speaking of the "system" I was referring to our Constitutional framework and the separation of powers and other fundamentals of government (that which the Left does not respect except as expedience might demand). The specific issue or question is defiance of the courts and if this is even a possibility. I happen to believe that in some form of another it is a requirement, even a moral obligation. The Left understands that the courts are their firewall against Trump's most important initiatives. This challenge cuts to the heart of Trump's presidency. In my opinion, it can't be ignored or waited out.

True, truly my bad. I got skewed in my thinking by the millions of Christians who were tortured, murdered, and sentenced to the gulag, by the vicious atheists who ran the cheka.
I should have mentioned the 37 doctors involved in the doctor's plot, a truly horrible repressive episode fueled by Stalins paranoia, one of hundreds of episodes against all sorts of people, but an episode which I should have put at the top of my post.
And I got lost with your citation of the million armenians (often crucified). I had that on my mind and completely (shamefully) overlooked the treatment of the many refuseniks, many of whom thank goodness were able to inform us of their suffering.
It is disgraceful to overlook the victims (and you certainly remind us of that almost daily, often making it the chief point of your post) and to remember who actually inflicted the suffering with cruel indifference.
TY for correcting my thought process here.

But as we all know we haven't really had that in years. We've been living under a permanent government, the bureaucracy, that has doing the will of the left for decades. Billions and billions of dollars have been poured into this shadow system to do things like rig elections and import millions of illegals into this country while running regime changes in countries around the world. We didn't vote for any of this stuff.
Chopping down that infrastructure was mission one and so far it has been spectacularly successful even if it flies below the radar. The censorship complex and orgs like CISA and USAID are effectively dead. The impact of those things will be felt for years.
Yes, the courts are a problem. Have been for a very long time. The Senate allowed the left to pack many of them with hard cord leftwing activists not judges and it is a glaring problem that needs to be dealt with now.

Rightwing commentator Brett Cooper joined the rest of the world in jeering Katy Perry, Gayle King and Lauren Sánchez’s brief flight to space.
There is a sizable audience for Cooper’s brand of disarming anti-feminist content. She had the second-fastest growing political YouTube channel in the first quarter of 2025 with over 900,000 new subscribers...
Analyses of the 2024 election widely heralded the “manosphere” as key to delivering Donald Trump’s victory...56% of men under age 30 went for Trump compared with 41% four years prior. By meeting young men where they were at, Trump and his surrogates were able to reach voters who are typically among the least politically engaged segments of society.
Now, there are the beginnings of an organized effort to create a similar alternative rightwing media ecosystem targeting young female US audiences – one of the few demographics that has, until now, leaned substantially Democratic.

AMEN! When you read the lives of Hitler, Stalin, Mao and assorted other Pol Pots from the last century, it is astonishing that Hitler for decades up until now has gotten 99% of the attention.
It's almost as if the liberals were deliberately trying to fix Hitler in the minds of the masses in order to use him for their own propagandistic, manipulative, brainwashing purposes.
The lives of Stalin and Mao were just as fascinating as Hitlers in every respect. For 100,000 times we have heard how Hitlers niece committed suicide. When has anyone heard about the suicide of Stalin's wife under circumstances far more damning to Stalin?
It's almost as if the liberals with books films tv documentaries and other constant venues wanted to put Hitler out there on a daily basis for many decades, while with Stalin, whose life was just or MORE fascinating in every respect - - nada!
It's almost like the liberals do not even want the subject of Stalin to be open to discussion.

What's interesting is that, because the Left expresses itself in terms of "freeing" people's sexuality, many people miss the fact that it is every bit as sexually controlling in its own way as Islam is. This control comes about because the Left works assiduously to decouple sex from a person's own sense of bodily privacy and, by extension, self-ownership. If a person has no sense of autonomy, that person is a ready-made cog for the statist machinery.
The practical problem for the Left when it tries to attack individuality as expressed through sexuality is the fact that a person's sense of an inviolate physical self develops quite early, during childhood:
Once a child individuates, he becomes aware of being his own self. ... The most basic thing one can own is one's own self, and not letting others touch that self in ways you don't like is an exercise in self-ownership.
They have to get them when they're YOUNG. https://tinyurl.com/2s49pyu6

I think it's that they've declared normal masculinity "toxic." They've surrounded themselves with fey, feminized male feminist types who are boring, weird, and not all that attractive. Along comes Luigi, a dud who would secretly make them hot (muscular, rich, smart) and he does something aggressive that actually aligns with their values by shooting the big, bad white, male capitalist. It's too much, the mix of traditional manliness (which they think they're not allowed to embrace) + antifa attitude and action.

Last evening, I watched "The Children of October 7," on MTV. Yes, that's MTV.
Taken from a screen shot about the program: "New, Following Israeli children impacted by the October 7 Hamas terror attacks; led by Montana Tucker, the documentary shares stories of kidnapped, orphaned and traumatized survivors. (Documentary)." It was current as of the beginning of April 2025.
I've never heard of Montana Tucker but the young lady has a Wikipedia page. It begins, "...an American dancer, singer, and social media activist recognised for her efforts to educate younger people about the Holocaust, Israel and antisemitism.[1] As of 2024, Tucker's online presence reportedly included a following of over 9 million followers on TikTok and 3.1 million followers on Instagram.[2] Tucker uses her platform to address social issues such as body image, anti-bullying, advocating for Israel, speaking out against Anti-Semitism, and the importance of Holocaust remembrance."
And, "...She is Ashkenazi Jewish, and the granddaughter of Lilly and Michael Schmidmayer, both Holocaust survivors from Hungary and Romania."

The mistake is thinking that just because the Republican Party has a majority, that it also has control.
The control of the federal government remains in the hands of the Deep State. That will not change until there are a majority of Donald Trumps in elected government... and in the nation's institutions (media, education, universities, healthcare, industry, corporations). Meaning elected officials who have the Profiles in Courage to risk everything to make this country great again. And that is not the Republican Party at all. The vast majority are simply riding Trump's coattails, but are not leaders in their own right.
As it is, the Deep State is simply weathering the early storm of President Trump's popularity. Waiting to flip things in 2026 and in 2028 when he is off the ballot.
I hope I am wrong, but recent history of this country's election habits tells me otherwise. Reagan to Clinton to Bush to Obama to Trump to Biden to Trump to...

Employees will be required to be in the office four days a week starting in September, a goal likely easier to achieve when the company is also expected to be firing 20% of its workforce.

This will deliver three quarters of everything on the 9070, and neatly plug the gap between the regular 9070 and the upcoming 9060, which will only have half the performance of the 9070.

When I came back there were two very cute girls ( maybe early teens) sitting on a porch at a house nearby . I said to them, "You're very cute) and they gave me big smilies and looked even cuter.

Decent people should be up by 5:00 anyway. It's almost like it's my favorite part of the day. No one else is moving at this time (Her Majesty would sleep until noon if she could) and the day hasn't yet lost it innocence. I can read, work on my music or say my Rosary and and know I won't be disturbed.

Telling them they're trespassing will be much more satisfying. The only legally correct response to being told you're trespassing is to turn around and march a straight line right off the property. Anything else can result in charges being filed against you.

What I was utterly unprepared for is the hole in my life. We were a team. Mostly dysfunctional as I took over more and more of her care. She was very ill for so long. I saved her from low blood sugar comas 14 times in marriage. But all I could do was not enough.

Taiwan fielding nuclear weapons, on a good missile, would be a big help. Because Megacities in China are 10 megatons apart. Three River Gorges Dam is not anchored to bedrock. A catastrophic failure of that dam would release a wall of water that would doom 30 million people and some important cities.
Plus, sea drone techs are ramping up, and with enough of them, you can stop an invasion cold.

Good Advice From The Experts
As search goes on for missing swimmer, experts say people shouldn’t have teased sharks
“They are not creatures that attack. We have seen them here for many years. You don’t go out into the wilderness and stroke a lion. It is not logical to tease them and jump on them,” said Itamar Avishai of the EcoOcean nonprofit.I mean, at some point, you just have to throw up your hands and let nature take its course. Physics Is Phun Major Problem in Physics Could Be Fixed if The Whole Universe Was Spinning
Israelis flocked in large numbers to the beach during the weeklong holiday of Passover, sharing the waters with a dozen or more sharks. Some tugged on the sharks’ fins, while others threw them fish to eat. Dusky sharks can grow to four meters (13 feet) long and weigh about 350 kilograms (750 pounds). Sandbar sharks are smaller, growing to about 2.5 meters (8 feet) and 100 kilograms (220 pounds).
Police and rescue workers launched a search along the coast after reports that a shark attacked a swimmer on a beach near the city of Hadera on Monday. The Fire and Rescue Authority announced Tuesday afternoon that “findings” had been brought to the forensic institute for identification.
The man’s identity was not released, but Hebrew-language media said the man in his 40s from Petah Tikva had gone to swim with the sharks.
The Universe is expanding, but exactly how fast is a contentious question. Two different methods of measurement return two very different speeds – and as the measurements become more precise, each becomes more certain. This discrepancy is known as the Hubble tension, and it's reaching crisis levels in physics. So for a new study, physicists in Hungary and the US added a small rotation to a model of the Universe – and this mathematical massage seemed to quickly ease the tension. "Much to our surprise, we found that our model with rotation resolves the paradox without contradicting current astronomical measurements," says István Szapudi, an astronomer at the University of Hawaii. "Even better, it is compatible with other models that assume rotation. Therefore, perhaps, everything really does turn."I just KNEW the universe was a Monday morning after a week long bender!
It's Poping Time! The Papal Conclave Is A Battle Not Just For The Catholic Church But For Western Civilization
What’s certain, however, is that the conclave will be a contest between two competing visions of Catholicism. On one side are the aging liberal boomers, who came up in the aftermath of the Second Vatican Council and whose vision for the church is decidedly modern. They think everything that came before Vatican II is bad and that ripping out the altar rails, selling off the icons, and banning Gregorian chant and polyphony in favor of tambourines and guitars was a great improvement. They believe in erasing the differences between the laity and clergy, ignoring or destroying Sacred Tradition, and deemphasizing or outright denying the reality of sin. Francis was one of them, and there are many others in the College of Cardinals. They have done their work with zeal, and much has been lost. Such men thought, back in the 1960s and ‘70s, they were forging a new future for the post-conciliar Catholic Church. They believed they were blazing the trail into a bright modernist future for Catholicism. But now they are old men in their 70s and 80s, and their revolution is dying with them. Almost no one in the Catholic Church wants to continue their religious modernization project. When they look behind them to the younger generations in search of Catholics to whom they can pass the baton of their revolution, they find almost no one. In America, theirs is the weak and sclerotic “cultural Catholicism” of Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and John Kerry — boomers whose worldview is inherently anti-Catholic and whose politics are an affront to Catholic morality.Regardless of whether or not you're Catholic (and I am not), I think that a traditional church, strong in the teachings of Christ and steadfast in its defense of the same, is a fundamental pillar of western civilization and one that badly needs shoring up if we are not to fall to the eastern barbarians.
Pray For Jay Jay Leno Faces His Biggest—and Most Heartbreaking—Challenge blockquote>The comedian, who turns 75 next week, has been married to his wife, Mavis, since 1980. While she has managed to stay out of the spotlight, Leno has always spoken favorably of his wife, who is 78. The couple never had children, and I do not know a lot about her, but I know she has dedicated much of her life to helping others, specifically women and young girls suffering from terrible oppression in Afghanistan. From what I've heard through the grapevine, like her husband, she doesn't just talk the talk; she's dedicated much of her own time and resources to this cause and others. Unfortunately, Mrs. Leno suffers from "advanced dementia" now. Last year, her husband filed a petition for conservatorship, citing her doctor's letter that explained she sometimes didn't recognize Jay or know her own date of birth and had "been progressively losing capacity and orientation to space and time for several years." Her lawyer agreed with the idea, citing that she receives "excellent care" from her husband
Jay always seemed like the decent sort, my prayers are with him as he cares for his wife.

One difference between the two types is that the "corrupt union thug" politicians understand that if the country goes belly-up, so does their grift. The "woke communists", on the other hand, have that as their goal.

They hated me. My comander was paired with me, and he would use Vicks in his nostrils because he knew what i did. All the nasty little tricksies they would pull to get a unit decertified, the commander relieved, NCOs like me sent to prison. I fought their BS with biological nastyness. I would deliberately keep the inspectors locked in that itty bitty no ventilation room for hours breaking the non-time sensitive code. It was glorious. Once they started a session, it was a security violatiom to open the door. I got an Army Major decerted and removed from nuclear surety that way. Don't eff with me on that stuff sir.
Best and most favorite memory...they brought me and the commander in for a select8ve release of a single warhead. Got us to the point where the two person crypto was accessed, then killed the commander. I pointed at the inspector, another Major, in front of the one star surety team. And told him to sit his ass down in the chair and assume the 2nd party to the SelRel. Made him verify everything the dead commander had done, then made him finish the SelRel

See Cantor's progression of infinities, the alephs. Some infinities are greater than others. For example, the infinity of the continuum, the number of points on the real line is a greater infinity that the infinity of integers. Or, the set of points on the line can't be put into one to one correspondence with the integers.
This leads to the notion of countable vs uncountable infinities.
A weird example. The number of points in a plane is the same infinity as the real line. And the number of points in a 3D volume is the same. Even up to a *countably* infinite number of dimensions.
I think, but am not sure, that an uncountably infinite number of dimensions will get you to the next infinity.

That's as far as my college math courses got me, too.
There are an infinite number of rational numbers. And there are an infinite number of real numbers. And there are more of the latter than the former, even though both are infinite.
There are more of the latter between 0 and 100 than the former.
There are more of the latter between 0 and 1/100th than the former.
And between any two rational numbers.

See the Continuum Hypothesis, CH. I went over this just now with Grok. If the CH holds then the "cardinality" of the real line, the number of points is aleph-1, using Cantor's nomenclature, and aleph-1 = 2^(aleph-0).
So, the number of points on the real line is 2 to the power of the infinity of the integers.
Further, again if the CH holds, the number of points in an uncountably infinite dimensions space is Aleph-2, or 2^(aleph-1).
Unfortunately, thanks to Kurt Godel and the Incompleteness theorem, the CH cannot be proven or disproven within the confines of the standard ZFC set theory, or the foundational axioms of mathematics.

Netflix has renamed it Bet which has made something think this is BET. The main character seems pretty close to the original except they have now given her a noble reason to be at the school - vengeance. All the others do not really reflect their manga/anime counterparts at all.

This rotating universe thing that came out a few days ago, maybe two weeks, really caught my eye.
Now, Godel, Kurt Godel, first came up with a rotating universe model, dubbed the Godel metric, as a solution of the Einstein Field Equations (EFE) of General Relativity. It's an exact solution, and the fact that he came up with it demonstrates the "beautiful mind" of Godel.
It was funny. Godel, studying the EFE, told Uncle Al, hey your fancy equations allow for time travel. Einstein said, bullshit, Kurt, that's illogical and leads to contradictions. My equations will not allow that!
Godel said, I'll prove it. He did. The Godel metric has closed time-like curves, time travel paths through spacetime. Einstein said, well, shit fire.

BTW, Kurt Godel illustrated the old saw about the fine line between genius and insanity. As a mathematician, he was a tour-de-force of "pure logic" as Mr. Spock might admire. He was also absolute bat-shit crazy.
He wouldn't eat anything prepared by anyone other than his wife. "They" were trying to poison him. He was also afraid of poison gas being piped into his house, and so tended to open the windows even in the middle of winter. He didn't last too long after his wife died.

Not only has India closed its border to Pakistan, declaring that no visas will be given to Pakistanis, but the Indian government has downgraded its diplomatic ties with Islamabad and suspended a crucial water treaty. Pakistani visa holders in India have also been ordered leave the country within 48 hours.
The water issue will could impact hundreds of millions of people on both sides of the border, as the 1960 Indus Water Treaty delineates how water is distributed and used from six rivers that flow through both countries, starting in disputed regions of the Himalayas in the north.

Einstein and Von Neumann were taking Gödel down to get his green card. All the while Gödel kept muttering about a loophole he'd purportedly found in the Constitution. "Shut up, Kurt", they explained.
They come before the judge who, after the procedure says something like "Welcome to the United States, Dr. Gödel. Rest easy that you're in a place where the terrible things happening in your birth country can't happen."
Gödel: "Well, actually, there is this problem...."
Whereupon Einstein and Von Neumann did another sotto voce "Shut up, Kurt" (possibly nudging him or stamping on his foot) and things finished up okay.

I was just about to post that! That illustrates what immigration laws were like back then. You have to have Albert fucking Einstein vouch for you.
As I've read the story, Einstein and Von Neumann were doing the Picard/Riker double face-palm while Godel was ranting about a "logical flaw in the Constitution".
THe judge was just amused, saying, "Boy, these mathematical geniuses sure are nuts, aren't they."

Einstein and Godel used to talk long afternoon walks on the Princeton campus, seemingly engaged in deep conversation. People wondered what deep, ponderous things they were discussing. There is no record of what they talked about, neither ever discussed or wrote about it.
The joke was it was probably, "Hey, Al, did you see the rack on that new co-ed?"

Godel was fascinated by the idea that cosmologists might discover rotation of the universe. They said every time he'd bump into the astrophysicists at Princeton, or wherever, he also ask "Is the universe rotating yet?". And they'd so, "No, Kurt!".
Well, with this latest Godel would be happy as a lark. And he'd probably go over the paper and find something interesting in it.

If you're interested the "rotational speed" or RPM of the universe, which I put in scare quotes is just a parameter in the equations, but it's about one revolution per 500 billion years.

The problem this slight rotation solves is dubbed the Hubble Tension, which had to do with the Hubble Parameter (sometimes called a constant, although it varies with time, but it's constant at a given epoch, and changes slowly).
There are several ways to measure it. One is the "old sources", and that's from measurements of the cosmic microwave background. Then there are the "new sources", which have to do with standard candles like supernovas. They are "new" because they involve events that happened later, while the CMB was very early in the universe history.
Now, the late measurements all put H0, the current epoch Hubble Constant at 72 - 74 km/s/Mpc. The early results put it around 67 - 68.
They thought maybe that's just measurement error, and newer methods will pin that down to something in between.
Well, they came up with several, and they all fell onto either end of that, nothing in between, which suggests a problem. Then these new guys noticed that a slight rotation would explain that early vs late difference nicely.
I call it the Hawaii paper, as some of the authors were at the U of Hawaii. I hope Hawaiian astrophysicists aren't like Hawaiian judges.

1) going into the past is trying to reverse entropy. Entropy of the Universe is always increasing. To travel backwards it essentially trying to reverse entropy
2) going forward in time is moving into a universe with MORE entropy, and that might be impossible too.

Now, here's the interesting thing. The FLRW like universes, including deSitter spacetime (this is an empty universe with nothing but Cosmological Constant, which makes "empty space" expand, it's a perfect spacetime to see the behavior without having to worry about messy matter inside) are all homogeneous and isotropic. Everybody sees the same thing, and everybody sees everybody else flying away, expanding. No center, no special direction (think flatlanders on the surface of a 2D expanding sphere).
Now, the Hawaii rotation breaks isotropy, but not homogeneity. There will be a preferred direction in the universe, one direction that looks different, and can be detected. And roughly, and in a quite complex way, you see everything around you rotating around that direction.

The only McDonald's in the area where I grew up in 1960 was not too far from the house, 5-10 minute drive depending on lights. After high school football on Friday night, the car would make a detour and we'd get 5 cent burgers or 10 cent cheeseburgers, I think small fries (the only size at the time) were a nickel, along with some, probably, 10 cent shakes. It was something like a buck to a buck-fifty to feed five with a late night after-game snack.
The food was cooked fresh and waiting and if you special ordered anything, it took a long time. That's where I learned to take the pickles off and say screw it.
There was nothing like the aroma of a bag of those warm burgers and fries wafting through the car on the way home. That was the only time we ever went to McDonald's.
Then my Mom found out about Burger King and a grilled Whopper with lettuce, tomato and mayo. My Mom never went to McDonald's again. Ever. Even on road trips just to pee.

There are two possible candidates for this preferred direction. And the alignment of both is spooky. One direction, going out on looking up in the sky is pointing at a spot in the constellation Coma Berenices (Bernice's Hair) at star which is dubbed Polaris Galactus Borealis. That's Latin for Pole, Galaxy, North. And that's what it is, the north pole of the Milky Way Galaxy. Which would mean the Milky Way spin axis is aligned with the universe spin axis.
The second candidate aligns nicely with the ecliptic, the ecliptic north pole.

there is a thing called precession, where the Earth kind of wobbles a bit as it rotates about the axis
Posted by: Don Black at April 25, 2025 01:19 AM (AOsQT)
See the Euler angles and all that stuff. You can think of spinning around two axes, but they add to one direction, call it the omega vector. Direction and magnitude.
Solid body rotation gets complex, see the Principle Axis Theorem and the Intermediate Axis theorem. Any solid body of any shape must have 3 mutually perpendicular axes, with three different principle moments of inertia about them. Now, if you spin an object around one of those principle axes, everything is nice.
If you spin around some non-principle axis, the angular momentum vector doesn't point in the same direction as the spin axis. This requires precession, with the spin axis precessing about in space. Angular momentum remains constant. You can call this tumbling.
Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at April 25, 2025 01:20 AM (w6EFb)
A sphere has near pefect symmetry. Any axis is a principle axis, all three moments of inertia are the same in any coordinate system.

Here's the fascinating thing about the symmetry of this Hawaiian rotating universe I'll call it. The symmetry is cylindrical, and there would be a distinct axis. Observers could tell their radial distance from it, but not any z distance along that axis.
Not all rotating universes would work that way. In Godel, every observer could claim the axis ran through him and everybody would see everything else rotating around them the same.
Not the case with this Hawaiian universe. You could tell how far you were away from this axis.

Saijo was really coming out of his shell this morning, playing and bouncing around, being cute. He made the mistake of sniffing a cat first and got hissed at with a paw swipe, but no claws involved. He has been traumatized the rest of the day.

He is still so cute, little marshmallow guy! No accidents. He did chew my pottery barn mirror when I guess everyone let him run amok while I was teaching this morning. So of course I went out and bought 4 different safe chew options. He doesn’t like any of them, but maybe he will learn what they are for eventually.

Piper,
It won't be long before pupster and the cats are playing together.
The two Great Danes that destroyed the couch, lol, loved our teacup Chihuahuas we had at the same time. The bitties loved the Danes.

He just asked me if I wanted to joint them tomorrow night. I said “heck yes! I love baseball!”
He bought me a ticket. This doesn’t mean it’s a date, does it?

If you were invited to join the group, it isn't a date, just a hangout. Just to be sure, start flirting with one of the other gentlemen in attendance. If he starts acting jealous, maybe it is a date.

It makes a very sticky dough that makes a loaf that is almost as soft as store bread. apparently pre cooking the starch makes a nice gelatinized goo that really tempers the dough while rising.
I get to try it with other starches to see what works best.

Who were they?
- Rashida Tlaib (D-MI)

It's not really a smiley face, more of a triangle, really, but you can kinda sorta say it sort of looks like it.
Also, Neptune is right in the face too, so this is a 4 object conjunction. With a telescope, you could make out Neptune and its moons.
You can start looking about an hour and half before local sunrise. Local sidereal time will be ~18:10. I'm too lazy to convert to local mean time, but it will be the same for everybody. The time offset from sunrise pins it down fine.

You can use potato water for the liquid if you want, it is a similar result. Left over mashed potatoes will work too.
I usually use a cup of whole ground flour - I grind up wheat berries for this - and let them soak in two cups of water and yeast over night to do my bread, so taking 24 hours to bake bread is pretty standard here. The starch makes a softer bread that my wife loves. I like it tougher, though.

It will be 5:34AM when the ISS is right in the middle of the smiley face.
Now, since the ISS is so close, parallax is YUGE. It would be quite different for Mike Hammer up there around Asheville, and even Miklos further down south.
Anyone around the Greenville, SC area, you'd need to get Stellarium or equivalent to see what it would be exactly for your location.

"Nearly a thousand small, abandoned starships are located at Gateway (an asteroid). By extremely dangerous trial and error, humans have partially learned how to operate them. The controls for selecting a destination have been identified, but nobody knows where a particular setting will take the ship, how long the trip will last, or even if enough fuel is available to get back. Those who choose to risk their lives cram the limited space with equipment and hopefully enough food for the trip, but sometimes it is not enough, and they have to resort first to cannibalism, and if that is not enough, to suicide"

Quick Hits
Florida's top Democrat state senator has resigned, declaring that the Democrat Party is "dead."
State Sen. Jason Pizzo said he was stepping down as the Florida Senate's Democratic leader -- because he is quitting the Democratic Party. Pizzo, who represents parts of Broward and Miami-Dade counties, made the surprise announcement on the floor of the chamber after the April 24 session. He'll remain a senator, but as one with no party affiliation. For months, he had teased at a run for governor next year when Gov. Ron DeSantis will be term-limited. "Here's the issue: The Democratic Party in Florida is dead," he told fellow senators. "There are good people who can resuscitate it but they don't want it to be me."Former Republican congressman and hard-core NeverTrumper ne'er-do-well David Jolly is going to run for the Democrat nomination. He just made it official that he is in fact a Democrat, now registering with the party so he can run for office as a Democrat. At least he's now forced to drop the "I'm a True Republican" hustle.
Last week David Hogg, a Vice Chair of the DNC, announced that the grifter group he founded would be spending $20 million to primary Democrats in favor of even more extremist progressives. The DNC plans to pass a rule that no officer of the DNC can advocate for or donate money to any candidate in any primary.
Democratic party leaders Thursday morning admonished officers to not take sides in primaries, addressing a situation involving activist and Democratic National Committee vice chair David Hogg. "Let me be unequivocal. No DNC officer should ever attempt to influence the outcome of a primary election, whether on behalf of an incumbent or a challenger," DNC Chair Ken Martin said in a press call. "Voters should decide who our primary nominees are, not DNC leadership. Our role is to serve as stewards of a fair, open and trusted process, not to tilt the scales."'A federal judge has blocked Trump's executive order requiring proof of citizenship in federal elections.
As of now, however, the DNC does not have the power to remove Hogg if he refuses to stand down on funding primary challenges through a separate PAC -- unless the body changes its rules, a senior DNC official told NBC News. "Under the present bylaws, there is no action that can be taken against David Hogg without changing to the bylaws to extend that policy of neutrality to all primaries," DNC Finance Chair Chris Korge told NBC News. "There is no codified, legal way to remove an officer for doing what David Hogg has done because it only extends to the presidential race. " Korge said that, as of now, the situation is to be addressed at a future meeting, likely in August.
Donald Trump's unilateral effort to reshape election processes is an attempt to "short-circuit Congress's deliberative process by executive order," a federal judge in Washington, D.C. wrote Thursday afternoon. In a 120-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly blocked the Trump administration from requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote and ordering that election officials "assess" the citizenship of anyone who receives public assistance before allowing them to register. She also barred the Election Assistance Commission from withholding federal funding from states that did not comply with the order. "Our Constitution entrusts Congress and the States--not the President--with the authority to regulate federal elections," she wrote. "No statutory delegation of authority to the Executive Branch permits the President to short-circuit Congress's deliberative process by executive order."The Constitution says that citizens vote in our elections, not non-citizens. So this court is basically arguing that non-citizens can vote as they will and we need a special law, in addition to the Constitution's contemplation of only citizens voting. These abuses will not stand and will not be forgotten.
The left-wing SCOTUSblog has been bought by the also left-wing Dispatch.
SCOTUSblog
@SCOTUSblog As one era ends, an exciting new one begins. SCOTUSblog is delighted to announce that it has been acquired by @TheDispatch and will help bolster their coverage of the Supreme Court and the rule of law.
Sean Davis
@seanmdav Recall that The Dispatch colluded with Facebook to deplatform pro-lifers during the 2020 election by publishing fraudulent fact-checks knowing they would be used as a pretext for censorship. And when they got caught, they lied about it. Which means that anyone interested in actual facts can now safely ignore everything published by SCOTUSblog from here on out.

It's been absolutely amazing to see Gail King and Katy Perry's reaction to this. I think they really believe(d) that they were Astronaut Heroes and are undergoing a nervous breakdowns not because they were questioned, but because they were laughed at.
The somehow still developing aftermath is so wildly out of proportion to the actual even that the mind boggles. This is, I think, a signal that this is one of those things where the event is irrelevant. Tapped a deeper vein.

In every budget report and summary published by every agency, spending is tagged with one of two letters: "D" or "M."
Those letters stand for "Discretionary" and "Mandatory."
Start with zeroing everything with a "D" next to it, then rigorously review everything with an "M" and start seeing how much of it is *truly* mandatory (that is, legislated) and how much of it is in accordance with but in excess of legislative requirements.

That's some real high-level dunce thinking there.
I can imagine the headache I'll get trying to understand the reasoning.
Anyway, I'm sure this stupid bitch also probably skipped right over the opinion from the Supreme Court the whole left was crowing over about a year ago out of NC, where I think this exact issue was raised.
IIRC, it was the argument that we all thought was clear: Only the legislature can make and/or change elections law.
But, I guess the "Covid Clause" to the Constitution says the Executive, via subsidiaries in the department of elections, can--in fact--change election laws, via nonenforcement or interpretation.
Which, pretty much, fucks her silly putty ruling that the Executive can't enforce election laws.
But then, James Madison himself authored the "Orange Man Bad" Clause to the Constitution so that's that.

Probably would have gotten more real "impressions" than this, with way, way less insanity in the wake.

Bezos has Boomer energy. Musk has GenX energy. Bezos thinks getting a bunch of past-the-wall TeeVee talent to promote his space company is what the young, hip kids want to see. Cowabunga.
But, yes, having a bunch of young TikTok Astrothots would have actually appealed to people under of the age of 60 who don't watch television. Instead it mostly impressed The View's demo.
The Instathots would probably have been smart enough to not insist they were the equal of Alan Shepard, too.

Panic ensued for some on the campus of Cal State Fullerton on Wednesday as federal agents were spotted, but there is no cause for concern.
A post to Reddit on Wednesday caused a stir as a student posted a screenshot from an email from a professor. The professor canceled a class due to apparent ICE agents being seen on campus.
“Class, multiple federal agents from the department of Homeland Security and ICE have been spotted on and around campus. They are said to be in plain clothes and have a K9 unit,” the email reads in part. “Out of an abundance in caution and in solidarity with our immigrant and international students, I am canceling class"
The university’s police department later confirmed the existence of agents on campus. However, the department said the agents were there to conduct a training, not to investigate migrant students.
“The Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Explosive Detection K9 team, which consisted of one K9 and handler, was on campus today to conduct routine training. They were not here to enforce action or conduct an investigation,” the CSUF Police Department

AKA *not* an immigrant.
Immigration is a legal process. Illegals chose not to go through that process. They are *not* "immigrants" in any way. They are, depending on your opinion, illegal aliens (that is, foreigners in violation of the law) or foreign invaders.
But they're not "immigrants" and never have been. "Illegal immigrants" do not exist. It's a contradiction in terms.

Whoa: President Trump Signs Executive Order Ending the "Disparate Impact" Doctrine
This is huge.
The left is always attempting to "prove" racial discrimination without actually having to prove any racial discrimination. You will have of course noticed leftists side-stepping questions about proof of actual "white supremacy" in America, insisting that it is structurally white supremacist. Where is the actual white supremacy they always claim lurks around every corner? They don't have to prove it. It's just "in the air we breathe." There's so much white supremacy in America that it's impossible actually point to any white supremacy. Where's the white supremacy? You're soaking in it, Bigots! A very similar legal doctrine has claimed that you don't have to prove a law or company's policy was enacted to racially discriminate against anyone. All you have to do is prove that the measure has "disparate impact" on a "historically marginalized community." So, for example, if blacks have lower high school graduation rates than whites, you're not allowed to require a high school diploma in hiring. You just say "this has a disparate impact on black applicants." You don't have to prove the company intended any discrimination. Intent is not an element of the crime, as they say. If it has "disparate impact" on a minority, you're guilty, period.But now Trump signed an executive order forbidding the government from "disparate impact" analysis. Meaning the government can only attack policies as racist if there is an actual, provable racist intent.
Wokal Distance
@wokal_distance
This is the most important executive order Trump has signed thus far. Ending "disparate impact liability" is the first step to destroying the DEI ideology that the left installed in Government.
Disparate impact in the United States refers to practices refer to rules that adversely affect one group of people more than another, even if the rules applied are neutral. This means disparities in outcome at the group level can be taken as evidence of discrimination... This means even if the rules are neutral and applied fairly to everyone, if a group is underrepresented that group can potentially sue for discrimination. This is the anchor at the core of civil rights law that allows woke activists to engage in legal warfare.
Because disparities are taken as evidence of discrimination, it opens up companies to discrimination if any rule they have is thought to have a "disparate impact." For example, if the rule is overtime is done on sundays, Christians can sue because they don't work sundays... And can't get overtime, and will earn less than their counterparts. To avoid disparate impact liability, companies do DEI training and hire DEI officers so they can deminstrate a commitment to non-discrimination, and thus sheild themselves from accusations of discrimination. The result of this is that inorder to avoid getting sued for civil right violations you have to either: 1. Hand out opportunities to such that each group gets opportunities in exact proportion to their numbers in society. 2. Do constant DEI training/cunsulting. Regardless if which you do, you end up feeding the beast of DEI. If you do option 1 you are in effect doing affirmative action, if you do option 2 you end up handing large sums of money to DEI grifters and activists... The case that enshrined disparate impact into law was Griggs v. Duke Power Co. The court said a neutral employment policy that disproportionately impacts a particular group may be unlawful even if the employer did not intend to discriminate against that particular group... Disparate-impact is not actually enshrined in the civil rights act, it's a product of a court ruling, and this executive order shows the Trump administration is seeking to have the doctrine of disparate-impact liability overturned. If that happened it would be a HUGE victory. The entire industry of DEI exists because companies use DEI as a way to shield themselves from disparate-impact liability. By doing DEI they hope to show they are actively not discriminating. That's why DEI training is now corporate best practice. If disparate-impact is overturned the corporate and business justification for DEI trainjng and DEI officers evaporates. This is a VERY big deal. Now, it isn't the end of the road yet. Griggs v. Duke Power Co. still needs to be overturned at the Supreme Court. But... This executive order shows where the Trump administration is headed on this issue, and if they challenege doctrine in court and win then it would be a knife through the heart of the DEI industry, and a huge blow to the woke-industrial-complex.

Just so. Without a law we will enjoy the Civil Rights Division not bringing suits where DI is the only evidence for four years. Maybe twelve if JD wins. But the beast will return as soon as the Democrats, or whatever Left party arises when the Democrat party dies, gets back in the Executive.

I don't want my Haitian sons whom--in my Christ-like selflessness--I brought to this country so that they could have opportunities my white sons don't have, to have to compete on a level playing field. A level playing field is fundamentally unfair to my Haitian sons, from Haiti.

To my way of thinking they did that years ago.
We are all supposed to be equal under the law.
Instead we have this very wrong idea that whitey should suffer unfair discrimination because. No reason, just because. I thought equal meant the same. Not the same with exceptions.

No, but the only two Justices worth a damn are men, and there's never been a good female Justice.
Look, I don't consider myself sexist, but it's a pretty simple heuristic that a woman in a position of authority is going to be overly-swayed by emotion. Women are more empathetic. That's not a bad thing, it's an essential thing for a society.
Can some women be hard-nosed and say "Tough Shit" to a sob-story? Sure. But it's less likely.
Further, a truly conservative SCOTUS Justice has to be a brawler. They're going to be attacked. They have to enjoy the fight, and draw confidence from the insults thrown at them. Clarence Thomas is that kind of person, but few men and fewer women are.

DOW (or other parallel indexes) may still be way inflated. What if the "Correct P/E" is 6, instead of 25? The masses are trained to put a percent of their paycheck into The Magic Market, and they will forever get 15% instead of 7% in safer investments.
That "passive investment" has propped up the Magnificent Seven which keep going up ... Because They Are Going Up. Google Archipelago explains part of it, and maybe in the end, Taco Bell wins the corporate wars (some old Sylvester movie reference).
But market games may face a real life correction soon, hopefully. Not sure how that all shakes out, as our government is very concerned about "Markets" saving the day for their debts.

The problem is, if the markets "correct", things really go sideways.
Equities make me nervous. Obviously there's no connection to underlying business reality. It's nuts.
OTOH, I often think that it's not so much that equities are overvalued, as USDs are just rapidly depreciating. A high forward P/E might make sense if you consider that a dollar will be worth 40% less in three years.
In some ways, I think the out-of-control Mag7 have become the #1 inflation hedge. Because that's where a lot of excess cash is dumped, because it provides the highest return.

I don't see why the Mag7 would be a hedge though ... the riches made there might seek safety, like US treasuries, or gold (or blah, Bitcoin).
I'm OK or better, but playing it safe I still dream of what might have been if I just "went with the flow". heh.

Treasury Secretary Bessent: We Have the Opportunity for a "Beautiful Rebalancing" of Trade With China; Tariffs Could be Lowered to 50-65%
Those tariffs are still beastly for China.
Trump talked about cutting the tariffs "substantially" down from the current 145% level.This is CNN so of course they're promoting Chinese communist propaganda about the US president. China insists it's not even negotiating with China, and won't negotiate until Trump cancels all tariffs on China.
US President Donald Trump has signaled a potential U-turn on his trade war with China amid continued market volatility, saying the high tariffs on Chinese goods will "come down substantially, but it won't be zero." Trump's remarks, made at a White House news event Tuesday, appear to mark a rhetorical climbdown after weeks of tough posturing and tit-for-tat retaliation that sent tariffs on China beyond a staggering 145%. "145% is very high and it won't be that high," Trump said in a question-and-answer session with reporters in the Oval Office. "It won't be anywhere near that high. It'll come down substantially. But it won't be zero." Trump made the comments when asked about Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's remarks earlier in the day that the high tariff rates between the United States and China have effectively embargoed trade between the economies. Bessent said at a private investment conference hosted by JP Morgan Chase that the trade war with China is unsustainable and he expects the battle to de-escalate in the very near future, a person familiar with the matter confirmed to CNN. Instead of a hard break or complete decoupling between the United States and China, Bessent told investors that the goal is to have a rebalancing of trade, the source told CNN. ... Trump's shift in tone also went viral on the Chinese internet. On Wednesday, the hashtag "Trump chickened out" was trending as a top topic on social media platform Weibo, racking up more than 150 million views.
Trump rejects that, for obvious reasons.
China has called on the US to cancel its sweeping tariffs on Chinese goods entering the country as a sign that the President Donald Trump is serious about resolving the trade war between the two countries. A Chinese official said there had been no trade talks with the US, despite suggestions otherwise from the Trump administration. The trade war between the world's two largest economies has been escalating, with China sending back Boeing planes it ordered from the US in its latest retaliation over tariffs. But Trump has appeared to soften his stance on China, saying that the taxes he has so far imposed on Chinese imports would "come down substantially, but it won't be zero". A trade war between China and the US is in full swing, with Trump imposing import taxes of up to 145% on Chinese goods coming into the US, and China hitting back with a 125% tax on American products. In one of China's strongest statements yet over the tariff war, Commerce Ministry spokesman He Yadong said the US should remove all "unilateral tariff measures" against China "if it truly wanted" to solve the issue. "The person who tied the bell must untie it," he added. Separately, Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said China and the US had "not conducted consultations or negotiations on tariffs, let alone reached an agreement". He added that reports to the contrary were "false". Trump previously said negotiations between the countries were "active" - but this was also contradicted by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who said on Wednesday they had not yet begun. Bessent added that there was an opportunity for a "big deal" between the US and China on trade. He has previously said he expected a de-escalation of the "unsustainable" trade war, and said the current situation was "not a joke".Treasury Secretary Bessent seems to believe China will negotiate.
Watch: Trump insists the US and China are having trade talks
Trump hints at softening China tariffs and says no plan to sack Fed boss
At a glance: Trump's tariffs on China, EU and rest of the world Trump said on Tuesday that he would be "very nice" in negotiations with Beijing in the hope of securing a trade deal. But following China's latest comments, he said on his Truth Social media platform "Boeing should default China for not taking the beautifully finished planes that China committed to purchase". "This is just a small example of what China has done to the USA, for years," he added, before repeating accusations that synthetic opioid fentanyl "continues to pour into our country from China, through Mexico and Canada, killing hundreds of thousands of our people". The boss of plane manufacturer Boeing revealed China had sent back aircraft it had ordered from the US as part of its retaliation to tariffs.
Bessent agrees that one factor driving our trade deficits are our budget deficits -- we're always printing and spending more money than we have, which creates a "demand suck" bringing in imports. He also talks about the dollar's position as the world's reserve currency driving up the value of the dollar and therefore raising the prices of US exports as well as creating that "demand suck" for foreign imports. See the link for that. (He doesn't want to give up the dollar's position as reserve currency.)
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said there is "an incredible opportunity" for the US and China to achieve what he terms a "beautiful rebalancing" on Wednesday, at an event held by the Institute of International Finance Treasury. Bessent spoke more about his call for a course correction for the International Monetary Fund and World Bank and the "back to basics" approach Trump wants for the international economic order. "The U.S. does not have a revenue problem. We have a spending problem," Bessent told Tim Adams, president and CEO of the Institute of International Finance (IIF) Global Outlook Forum. ... [BESSENT:] Alternatively, what I have said previously, there is an opportunity for a big deal here that the U.S. is looking to rebalance to more manufacturing. The identity of that would be less consumption. If China is serious, on less dependence on export-led manufacturing growth and a rebalancing toward a domestic economy. I think they use the term dual circulation. Well, it's right now it's really singular circulation. And if they want to rebalance, let's do it together. This is an incredible opportunity. And I think if the Bridgewater founder, Ray Dalio, were to write something, he could call it a beautiful rebalancing indeed.
This is a good point:
ADAMS: So you're already taking on the task of China, more consumption, less investment, dealing with their manufacturing excess capacity. Europe's a great opportunity, the U.S. rebalancing here, including on fiscal. So what do you want the IMF to do? What would you like to hear from Kristalina over the next couple of days or the board in a new direction? Again, back to factory settings direction. What do you want to hear from them? BESSENT: Well, again, I think it's just been mission creep. And occasionally you have to trim your garden when the weeds grow. And I think that it's back to basics. What are our priorities and how are we going to judge success? And the World Bank, you discussed about graduating the medium-sized countries that should have graduated some time ago, that changes the commercial model of the World Bank. But obviously, you think that's important. They need to be graduated.
He means that small economies routinely have big trade surpluses (relative to their tiny size, I mean), but large economies tend to be more balanced as internal consumption catches up with exports for foreign markets. But China is manipulating things to keep pumping out exports like an undeveloped country while actually having the world's second-biggest economy. I can't find a print article stating this, but Megyn Kelly claims that Trump is considering a cutting the tariffs to 50 or 65%. He also floated a scheme in which imports that don't threaten national security will be taxed at 35%, while those that do will be taxed at 100%.
ADAMS: Yes. I mean, it's just as President Trump says, it's common sense that you can't have the second largest economy in the world and... I applaud their rapid growth, but you don't get both. It's like the teenager who sometimes wants to be treated like a child, sometimes wants to be treated like an adult. And I got one of those, too. And it's an adult economy.

Presumably, China has felt the impact of the tariffs right away, because orders from the US must have stopped as soon as the tariffs on imports from China came into effect.
American consumers on the other hand won't really feel the pain until US retailers empty their inventories, because only then will they have to jack up their prices and I'm guessing that most of them won't do it until then in the hope that a deal can be struck before that happens, so I'm guessing that the pressure on Trump will become unbearable sometime in May or June.
I think he knows it and that's why he keeps sending increasingly desperate signals to China that he wants to make a deal, but the problem for him is that the Chinese also know it.

Near as I can tell, Trump is saying that he'd be willing to go back to what he put on China in the first place without all the escalations that were added because they decided to play games.
Saying that Trump "caved" would allow Xi to acquiesce while still saving face. Trump, who we know has a thin skin and doesn't handle insults well, would let it slide because it gets him to what he wants.

I think he knows it and that's why he keeps sending increasingly desperate signals to China that he wants to make a deal, but the problem for him is that the Chinese also know it.

Point being any disruption will be temporary. I doubt the “pain” they are predicting will come through. That’s people with a stake in China saying that. Meanwhile they have a lot of idle factories and workers not getting paid. That’s why I am all in on 145% tariff.

So Trump has belled the cat to secure safety for the other mice. Very brave.
Now the cat is saying he has to un-bell it?
Fuck them.
(This is a reference to the "bell the cat" parable about mice afraid of a cat that is terrorizing them and they conclude the solution is simple - just tie a bell to the cat and they will have warning when it is near. Then one mouse says "but who is going to bell the cat?"
It is a story about how it takes someone who is brave and willing to take a risk, but they are mice.)

What was the official/legal/political name of the nation of "Germany" between August 2, 1945 (when the previous Nazi government was officially dissolved at the Potsdam Conference) and May 23, 1949, when the " Federal Republic of Germany" (i.e. "West Grmany") was founded?
This was the period in which the Allies divided up "Germany" into four occupation zones -- French, British, US, Soviet. But the zones were not separate nations, merely four subdivisions of a larger nation. But what was that nation offfically called during those fur years?
Remember this is after the "Deutsches Reich" of the Nazi era, but before the " Federal Republic of Germany" of the Cold War era.
I see that at one pint the three western Aliled zoned (French, British, US) combined were referred to as the "Trizone," but that was an unofficial name, not the official name.

1) There were no tariffs before Trump imposed them
2) He started a trade war against former trading partners out of the blue and for no reason
3) These are so disruptive and destructive that people are cutting spending, not traveling as much, and are all miserable and panicking
All of which is hilarious mythology.

The good thing about all this is that it creates huge uncertainty as far as dealing with China goes. Maybe the tariffs will come off, maybe they won't, maybe Xi will do something stupid that gives Trump an excuse to escalate.
The longer this goes on, the more businesses will decide that there's too much risk in being in bed with China, and find somewhere else for their production. And the more that happens, the less opportunity the ChiComs have to corrupt us.

I watched the video and while I think there are some interesting points, I also believe CA is also killing the LA terminal through the way they're attacking business. CA working very hard to kill refinery capacity, driving up fuel costs. How does a port survive without truckers to haul stuff away? Ships being able to refuel at a reasonable cost also comes to mind.
In other words, there may be some useful data but, it's still a single data point which doesn't take into account any outside factors which might also have an impact.

Lowering rates isn't a good thing. It allows you to cheat economic laws by increasing the debt bubble, but that's the last thing we should be accepting at this point. You need higher interest rates to make deter "investments" from being made in stupid shit, like individual consumption (credit cards, student loans, home loans, etc) or things no one needs (beenie babies, solar panels, carbon sequestering, etc).

Internews says it's here to "support press freedom." But as one media analyst put it, "It's not about giving journalists a voice--it's about choosing which voices get heard."
Nearly $473 million—yes, that’s nearly half a billion—has flowed to Internews from USAID and the U.S. State Department over the past 2 decades.

Likely due to other countries food regulations.
Europe in particular likes to use their food regulations to keep American products out and protect their own farmers. Which is fair, it makes sense.
And, also, their food is higher quality and less factory farmed in general, so I kind of get it on that level too.
But that would be my guess as to why we don't have massive beef exports to 1st world countries.

The most important point in the video for me was that American consumers won't feel a significant impact from the tariff confrontation until May (probably mid-May) and June. I would guess that Xi isn't going to make any major moves on the until the American consumers start their moaning and groaning. Unless, of course, starving Chinese consumers take matters into their own hands. Getting that tax cut bill resolved by July 4th will be on the front burner.

Heh. Who knows?
It will be interesting though when a Cormac inevitably crashes. Especially if they end up making their own engines.
Due to international agreements, the plane manufacturer and engine manufacturers get to investigate the crash as well as the country in which the plane crashed.
So the French (airbus) and Americans (Boeing) are involved in pretty much every investigation around the world. Which is good, its one of the few areas our governments are competent in.
If a Chinese plane crashes in Burma and it's flying with Chinese engines... well... can anyone really trust whatever their version of the NTSB is?

The Hawaiian judge ruled that only states and congress could impose a citizenship check. Be size congress and states are who make over laws. OK.
Its literally already federal law that non citizens cannot vote, the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 covers that. She just doesn't want Trump to enforce that law.

Yeah, we're barely into this thing. Neither side has felt much pain. I don't think Americans (including some of the people here) realize just how much influence China has, or how much they can cripple our economy if they really want to.
Realistically, China is the world's largest economy. When adjusted for the actual value (PPP), they're on top. Our GDP counts stuff like welfare payments and handouts to NGOs.
They have the world's largest industrial base, by a large margin. Damn near everything is made there, or depends on something made there. Obviously, America has a lot of leverage, too, but China's not going to starve without our soybeans.

On 737's? Or 787's?
I could be wrong here, but I'm pretty sure the airframe on the 737 is pretty much the same as it was when the plane was introduced in the 1960's. I believe the Max is using more composites in the airframe, but mostly otherwise unchanged.
The 787 was built ground up around composites and they did a lot of cool things with the wings.
777X is somewhere in between.

Ukraine's not even in the top 10. Brazil became China's largest ag partner back in 2018 or so, during the first trade war. And I don't think Brazil is going to slit its own throat by restricting imports to its biggest customer.
What's more, there's a lot of excess agricultural capacity out there. Plenty of countries that will be happy to sell to China.

Media Claims That Trump Backs Tax Hike on Millionaires as Part of His "Big Beautiful Tax Bill;" Trump Says "No, I Don't"
I don't know if this was a real trial balloon or just another completely fabricated Democrat op.
Fox is claiming that "White House aides" floated the idea of creating a new highest income tax bracket for the wealthiest tax payers of something like 38%.Rep. Dan Meuser, a Pennsylvania Republican, is supporting the White House's proposed tax hike for people making more than $1 million. "I believe we must help the President deliver on his promise of a tax and regulatory plan that supports pro-American economic and manufacturing growth, and delivers for the vast majority of Americans -- while creating savings and promoting fiscal responsibility. Any adjustments in taxes to accomplish these goals should be considered," Meuser told Fox News Digital in a statement on Tuesday. Last week, White House aides began quietly floating a proposal to House Republicans that would raise the tax rate to 40% for Americans making more than $1 million, sources told Fox News Digital about the preliminary discussions. The plan would shore up income to fund President Donald Trump's ambitious campaign promises to eliminate taxes on overtime, tips and Social Security. On Thursday, Meuser said on "Mornings with Maria" that he suggested a less than 2% tax hike for the "wealthy, high-end income" tax bracket months ago. He noted that Trump's 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act lowered the top tax rate from 39.6% to 37%, so raising it to 38.6% would still keep it below the pre-TCJA level by nearly one percentage point.I don't know if support that or oppose it. I'm always against taxing "The rich" more, as they already pay the bulk of taxes. But then, the rich keep voting for Democrats and keep voting against America and against American citizens, so sometimes I think: You want Democrat levels of taxation? You got it. But we don't have to have this debate because Trump says he doesn't back any increases in taxes for any American citizen.
President Donald Trump appeared to rule out a proposal to raise taxes on millionaires, arguing they would flee the country over the policy. "I think it would be very disruptive because a lot of millionaires would leave the country," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on April 23. "You'll lose a lot of money if you do that." Trump allies such as Steve Bannon have supported raising taxes on the rich, but the president hadn't taken a position. Trump has suggested tariffs could potentially replace the income tax, even though economists warn that tariffs raise far less revenue and fall harder on lower-income households.Some of you young readers may, like myself, not remember the Reagan Administration, because all of us 29-year-olds weren't born back then and wouldn't be born until the year 2000 or whatever. But the Reagan White House, especially in its first few years, was a place of intrigue, as different factions attempted to hijack the Reagan agenda for themselves. Back then, it was mostly left-leaning Rockefeller Republicans who were attempting to restrain and contain Reagan and do some unauthorized policy freelancing. The same thing is going on in the Trump White House, but there are fewer liberal Republicans, of course. It's a fight between Disruptors and Gradualists, the softer MAGA types who want change but who cringe at the thought of actually burning everything down. And while I get the idea of punishing the rich, who largely don't vote with us any more, I'm a little concerned about where all of this ends up. Do we want to drive away all old-school Republicans? Do we really want to completely swap the old Republican base for the old Democrat base? That does seem to be the plan pushed by some. But you know, as much as I get frustrated with scaredy-cat, smugly complacent old Republican base, I never loved the Democrat base all that much, either, and I'm not looking forward to the kinds of soft socialist policies we'd wind up pursuing if the party because majority working class Democrat.

Also fine by me. If they're US citizens, they have to pay tax on all money they earn worldwide anyways. If they're New Americans who bought their way in to an investor visa, I'm not going to be held hostage by them and their threat to move to Monaco or whatever. Fuck 'em. Clearly they were never here to be a part of America anyways, they were using us as a tax haven.

Johnson was right on this. We are not the party of higher taxes. This is antithetical to the entire MAGA movement which Trump mused a few short months ago would eliminate the income tax altogether.

From a pragmatic standpoint, it's counterproductive to "tax the rich".
But at this point, as "the rich" is generally interested in harming me, so might as well make them hurt, too.
Maybe we could even drive some of them out of the country.

I look at it more as returning to the pre-cold war Republican party. So yes, we lose the neo-cons and some Rockefeller Republicans, but in exchange we get the union guys and the great unwashed masses of the middle class.
I think it's preferable to our current political landscape, frankly. And it's already moving in that direction bigly, whether we like it or not.

I have a better idea, a direct tax like income or sales changes the relationship of the people to its government from one of "need their support and votes" to "tax cattle", so the best way to both fund the government and get it to the point that it works to diminish chaos, violence and increases protections on all levels, lets move to a general flat-excise on imports. Say, 10% on all trading partners unless they are being shitheels about things.

They're not really "loopholes."
It's just how you structure your money.
If you're Elon Musk rich, you can decide to pay yourself $50k a year and pay almost no taxes. You run all of your major lifestyle things (security, private jet, etc.) through one of your many businesses (where they are now considered a deductible expense, not income), and if you want to buy a new yacht or spend money on something that clearly isn't a business expense, you walk down to Chase bank and take out a loan against your shares in Twitter, buy whatever you want, and pay the back from your $50k salary. No income there either.
None of those are loopholes, it's just ... how you structure your money / income. There are entire law firms and personal money managers who spend their lives coming up with these alternative structures.

Posted by: bob (moron incognitus) at April 24, 2025 03:43 PM (06XVj)
But then, the rich keep voting for Democrats and keep voting against America and against American citizens, so sometimes I think: You want Democrat levels of taxation? You got it.
The idle rich are mostly Democrats, the new rich (small business owners ) are mostly Republicans.
So generally income taxes hit Republicans more since they have companies making, well, income.
Democrats have their money in various tax hedges that was originally earned years ago so a general wealth taxes scares them.
Not that I am endorsing any tax increase here - but specifically income taxes are something we should generally oppose. Now...mortgage cap deductions? Hell yeah. And removing the tax free status of NGOs? YES YES YES

Posted by: Disinterested FDA Director at April 24, 2025 03:53 PM (/dDa4)
I'm not pretending it can't be reformed, I'm just saying it's not as simple as closing up some loopholes.
I'm not a tax lawyer, but obviously I'm exposed to it a bit. And it is super complicated. Especially on the business tax side.
And it kind of has to be. We tax the profit, not the revenue. Which is why the tax code is so big -- lots of arguments over what is profit and what is not profit. It incentivizes wasteful behaviors.
So if you pay yourself $100k, the IRS doesn't care if you spend it on hookers and blow or if you buy a new car. But if a business spends $100k, where the money went matters.

VAT puts all the tax on the product. So by having 25% VAT, other taxes are avoided. The US has no VAT, so our products include that tax burden. Then when EU product is sold overseas -- no VAT so it is not burdened with tax. When US products are sold in EU, they include the US tax burden plus VAT. It is like EU has a 25% tariff and a 25% export subsidy.

President Trump wants no taxes on people making under X dollars. Money which would help blunt if not eliminate the pain of tariffs.
Naturally, letting Americans keep their money is something DC cannot abide so, they're trying to see if they can adjust their sights on another target which is easily vilified.
By the way, nothing would destroy the value of the Gold Visa faster than onerous taxes on the very people who can afford such a card.

Trump is a Russian Asset.
This is the way the Russian security and intelligence services categorize him according to their oecessarily need to be a witting assets to be run as such.
Trump meets two criteria to qualify as a Russian asset. Trump is both a useful idiot because he is easily manipulated to serve Putin… look at Trump’s efforts to pressure Ukraine to capitulate on the mirage of deals, economic cooperation, reducing the imaginary risk of WWIIIaying to Trump’s vanity and ego as a deal maker and on ignorance driven fears [other example are buying Russia’s narrative of NATO aggression]; and Trump is a fellow traveler.
Trump sees the world much like Putin. The strong must pray on the weak. The strong are entitled to coerce small states to squeeze deals.
Again the Russian describe these features of Trump in state-run media and official channels.

I also think all tax is theft, but I am OK with tax of 10% on everything. (income, cap gains (with indexing), inheritance, ...)
So a hard limit (10%, but no tax under 100K) does not work either since you have everyone making 99K and you need to avoid hard barriers. Then you end up with a schedule such as 0 at 50K, 2% at 60K, etc. You see where this goes?

Paki savages start it, most often by massacring unarmed Indian civilians or attacking Indian border posts. The Indians bring in the Sikhs and Gurkhas who spank the Pakis like a bunch of schoolboys. Pakis whine and sulk about how unfair it is for the infidels to defend themselves.
I have my doubts about whether it's going to open warfare. When the Pakis set up their mohammedan savages for the Mumbai attacks in '08, which were a LOT worse, India passed on a military response.

I've been doing my late Mother's taxes here in Canada for several years. It actually was never THAT horrible as a process.
I used WealthSimple, they'd carry over your information from last year, you connect to Revenue Canada and most of your tax slips and investment slips populate the program.
Deductions took a bit, but I got better over the years.
If they are going to steal from us, at least they make it somewhat easier for us.

India will fly some aircraft and put on a display. I’d be shocked if it turned into a shooting war. It’s why every few years Paki allied groups pull this shit.

Any federal tax on individuals suffers from the problem of how to define what it is that we’ve decided is taxable (sales tax? what’s a sale? profits? what’s a profit? income tax? what’s income?) which are not questions that can reliably be answered on a national scale.
Instead of having to process hundreds of millions of taxpayers, the federal government has to process fifty. The rest of the process is broken down to more local entities, at most at the level of the state.

1. the VAT is a tariff issue discussed above.
2. The need for local counting of ballots. He has included that in the EO on elections. This is key to security and yet I have seen no one mention it in their rants about fair elections. But Trump did. I talk about it on every online discussion I can.

Tariffs are just based on our trade deficit with a country. It’s a linear formula. So it kinda-sorta incorporates VAT and other barriers, but not directly.

Posted by: Jukin
Jukin, as an econ undergrad and studied political economy as a grad student, it becomes clear that microeconomics is more or less a valid field of study with predictable and solid empirical evidence.
Macroeconomics and particularly international economics is using stats and math to hide the fact that empirical models do not predict reality very well. Sort of like climate change models. In the end, when such models are presented, all they do is reflect the underlying assumptions (nice way of saying biases) of their proponents.

In my ECON 101 under Carter they taught me that inflation and unemployment could not occur at the same time. Carter had records highs in both. I therefore determined that Economics was full of shit.

The CW is that we need to keep injecting money into economy as it grows. Well, what nonsense. That is gov. stealing the value of progress from the public. Reality is deflationary and your dollar should buy more each day. that fact that it doesn't is because of theft. We have accepted that gov. is allowed to steal that 3%, plus the 3% target, plus the 10 or whatever percent inflation really is.
fourth peeve is GDP should not include gov. spending, but Musk mentioned that a couple weeks ago.

You have two choices on direct taxes--either the income tax via amendment or the apportioned tax on states. Constitutionally, for apportionment, a tax must be the same amount per person in every state, a very difficult burden to satisfy. "
The reality is that when that was used to fund the articles of confederation, it did not work very well. What do you do about a deadbeat state? Invade it? Deny its ability to vote (not constitutional per se)? Take all its federal funds away?
There is a reason that the Framers ended up choosing indirect taxes.

New Evidence Released Proves That "Maryland Father" and "Oriole State Husband" Kilmar Abrego-Garcia Is Definitely a Human Smuggler
Gee, why did the cops think that Abrego-Garcia was a human smuggler when they pulled over his car, loaded to the roof with immigrant men, none of whom had any luggage?
It wasn't just those circumstances, which are already highly suspicious. It also turned out that Abrego-Garcia was driving a car owned by a known human smuggler used for human smuggling. Who Abrego-Garcia admitted was "his boss."Reported El Salvadoran stopped in car owned by alien who pleaded guilty to human smuggling charges The owner of the car in which Kilmar Abrego Garcia was stopped by police is Jose Ramon Hernandez Reyes, who pleaded guilty to smuggling illegal aliens into the United States in 2020, two years before Garcia's deportation. Reyes himself was deported after the guilty plea and returned to the country illegally. Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the deported El Salvadoran at the center of the Trump administration's immigration battle with the courts, was stopped by police in an SUV owned by a man who was himself deported after pleading guilty to smuggling illegal aliens in 2020, according to court and Homeland Security Department intelligence documents reviewed by Just the News. These new details follow Just the News reporting last week that Abrego Garcia was flagged in 2022 by the Biden administration as a "suspect alien" who was possibly involved in "human smuggling/trafficking" after a traffic stop in Tennessee raised the suspicions of a state trooper, according to internal Homeland Security documents. The Trump administration alleges Abrego Garcia is a member of the notorious El Salvadoran gang MS-13 based on Maryland police identifications and deported him last month back to his home country. Family and lawyers deny any connection to the gang and are fighting the deportation, arguing it violates a 2019 order that protected Abrego Garcia from being sent back to El Salvador. Meanwhile, a growing body of evidence suggests the illegal immigrant wasn't the peaceful, law-abiding father "from Maryland," as his wife and lawyers have claimed in the news media. When Abrego Garcia was stopped in 2022 by the Tennessee state trooper, Homeland Security intelligence created a record of the encounter, Just the News reported. The El Salvadoran was driving a black 2001 Chevrolet Suburban and said he was transporting his passengers to Maryland from Texas for construction work, although the state trooper found no luggage in the SUV.Just one of those spur-of-the-moment Maryland-to-Texas group taxi rides.
The car itself was on the DHS "watch list" for vehicles used in human smuggling. It was just a misunderstanding, could've happened to anyone! Anyone! I don't know whose crack this is. Someone must have put this crack in my crack-pipe, officer, because I've never seen this crack before.
Homeland Security documents identified the owner of the vehicle as Jose Ramon Hernandez Reyes. Abrego Garcia told the state trooper that the owner was his boss. However, that SUV was flagged separately by the Homeland Security Investigations Baltimore field office as belonging to a target they suspected of human trafficking or smuggling, the documents show. "Vehicle is used by HSI Baltimore target in human smuggling/trafficking operation. Vehicle makes trips to southern border to pick up non-citizens," the record reads. The memo says the Baltimore HSI case agent should be notified if the vehicle is encountered.
Why do I have a crack-pipe? Funny story. I got sick of restaurants making you use those paper straws and so I thought, "Hey, a crack pipe is shaped like a straw." So that's why I have it. For drinking soders. Caffeine free soders. But there's no crack in this crack pipe, except whatever crack someone else put in it. I bet it was the same guy who smuggled Hunter Biden's cocaine into the White House. Maryland is near DC, you know.

We know USAID was funneling money to a bunch of NGO's to facilitate the human smuggling up to Norte Americano.
Which means USAID money was directly funding the cartels in Mexico.
So my guess is somewhere around "a lot" of money flowed around and was skimmed off from at every step.

Ironically, this makes it a lot harder for the Roberts court to easily order Trump to return Garcia's sorry ass aka effectuate and squashes the narrative of that fired DOJ attorney whimpering about a mistake in deporting his ass.

Cop friend of mine had a CI who he sent in to a house to buy fentanyl. Guy came out and said "yep, I got the bags."
Cop said "bagS? As in plural? I only gave you $20. For one bag." Long story short, he strip searched the CI and found a second bag in the guys boot.
Guy told the cop it wasn't his fent. Cop said "it's in your boot, dude." Guy said "well, this isn't even my boot. It's my brothers boot, I must have grabbed the wrong boots this morning."
Anyways, guys no longer a CI. But I liked that excuse. Had a similar story about a young lady checking in to county jail with a loaded needle full of fentanyl in her, ahem, body. Also claimed it wasn't hers.

My guess is the FBI and DoJ talked to him on behalf of the IC. My guess is that it was a titular false flag op where the CIA got the product but Epstein was ran operationally by a foreign intel service. My guess it was MI-6 because Robert Maxwell was certainly an asset of them and Mossad. Ghislaine grew up in UK and had every reason to follow Daddy's footsteps into the IC world and she hooked up with Epstein pretty quickly in the US. Epstein himself was given a teaching job by Billy Barr's dad and Barr himself was the liaison of IC/DoJ

Yep. That was the economic failure of slavery in the early colonies. Those planters become breeders of slaves simply to supply more Western states. Ironically, many state's had case law requirements for owners taking care of old or infirm slaves plus Slave states in the south over time gave them no legal way for them to manumit them aka free them.
That dynamic, in part, caused the planter class to roll the dice on the Civil War because without expansion of slave states, they would effectively be ruined in twenty years. The demand for new slaves would dry up and cotton cultivation back then ruined the soil in about 20-30 years. Ruined soil or rotation of crops meant ruinous income losses and rising expenses of slaves.

I think that's a pretty fair read. Although I'm not convinced of the British connection. Maxwell Sr. was given a state funeral in Israel where the prime minister said Maxwell "has done more for Israel than can today be said".
So I think it's fair to say Maxwell was certainly connected with Mossad.
He also stole something like 400 million pounds from The Mirror's pension fund, which was never found.
Epstein shows up on the scene not long afterwards with hundreds of millions of dollars of unknown origin.
So ...
But yes, US intelligence had to at least be aware that this was going on. And if the Brits were involved, it was to use the Five Eyes to sidestep the whole "CIA cant operate on US soil" thing.
The fact that the US government is not arresting CIA agents and causing a huge scene with Israel over this should be shocking to all of us.

I don't know. I worked with cops for a while (in a prosecutors office). I'm fairly anti-cop for an R voter, and my experience was that there genuinely were a very small number of "bad apples." And some were really bad. I had one repeat offender who had like 3 cases that I personally saw where we dropped charges because of his bullshit. My boss even took him aside and said "orange soda in the cup holder is not probable cause that someone is transporting drugs. Stop with this" and he mocked her and kept doing shit like that.
Most of the cops were just normal guys doing the job for the paycheck and the pension. So in that sense, yeah, they just follow orders and do their jobs. But I wouldn't call them "bastards". They just act like all government employees act, ya know?

What’s the point of winning at the cost of evil?
And what good has the intelligence community ever done for us? It’s not like the CIA took out the commies; the Soviet Union collapsed because they couldn’t make shoes or keep meat in the grocery stores, not because some amoral cretin honeypotted a Politburo member with underage prostitutes.
They didn’t even prevent terrorist attacks like 9/11. They might have had a hand in it. We know they’ve been working with al Qaeda in Syria.

The cop wrote that knowing there were 3 body cams and a dash cam rolling.
The camera footage showed the cop saying "GET OUT OF THE CAR!!!" while other cops yelled at him to put his hands on the steering wheel. Guy tries to do both, and our hero cop full on tackles the kid, smashing his face in to the pavement.
But I found "escorted him to the ground" to be a very funny way of saying that.

We are acquiring quite a bit of evidence nowadays from the huge increase of body cams and civilian cameras. Quicker to find out bad cops and places like youtube and tiktok are making bad cops famous in a bad way making their political masters do something about it.
Cutting back qualified immunity except for genuinely life threatening situations would be another. Sassing a cop and getting a ride downtown should never be given qualified immunity.
Atwater v. City of Lago Vista should be overruled in that non-custodial citations should never permit a cop to give a full ride downtown without having their ass sued off.

I am going to guess that El Salvador is holding him is a special stash for the moment, until the whole thing works out. Abrego does not have a shaved head and he still had his beard. And he was pretty arrogant in the interview.
This either means he was not run through the usual inprocessing, and that would be for corrupt reasons, or because Bukele and Trump were expecting this sort of foofooraw.
I wouldn't go against Bukele and his crew for the world. I think they are both ruthless and wicked smart, and have a moral goal which probably means they consider themselves paladins.

They're all taught to use the same lie, sorry, "euphemism" in writing their false reports. "Escorted," "assisted" or "directed" to the ground almost invariably means they violently smashed someone's head into the pavement. That this happens with a fair amount of regularity, despite the camera showing they violently smashed someone's head into the pavement, should be disconcerting to more people than it appears to be.

No downside for Fetterman but plenty if you have to make the decision to take out the Iranian nuke capacity. If I was Trump, I would formally go to Congress asking them to declare war (there are some other reasons to do so) on Iran. There is enough provocation going way back to the Iranian embassy crisis to do that if he wanted to document it.
It is a lot harder for Congress then to duck their responsibility on Iran if Trump did that. Less political blowback from immediate success criteria as well.

Nope. Plaintiffs are required to put up a case regarding the return of Garcia, not the defense aka government until ruling. The district judge has her ass in a crack here.
If she orders the defense aka government to release what they know given what has dribbled out, it makes it very strong case that Trump was removing a very bad dude.
If she ignores it, then an appellate court might ask here why did she ignore this new evidence that Abrego-Garcia and his counsel were lying to the court. That is why she canceled the hearing is my guess. She got sandbagged and now looks bad in public as she can no longer claim to be a hero saving Maryland Man from the clutches of Orange Man.

Why doesn't Trump just call up the ol' Supreme Leader and say "Ayatollah, listen. I don't want to have to bomb anyone. And we have great bombs. My generals say to me all the time, 'Sir, these bombs. They're beautiful. They're amazing.' And if you act nicely, you'll never have to see those beautiful bombs. So let's agree to disagree on prophets in wells, but in the meantime just be normal, and we'll all be happy."
That's how you achieve world peace.

I prefer we return to what the framers considered when declaring war. There are plenty of casus belli regarding Iran and the US but this half assed method of resolutions or purely executive action alone is a poor way of doing war. Involve the formal declaration of war for such matters and then fight to win. Putting Congress firmly on the hook for doing so plus it triggers a lot of reserved clauses in various statutes giving the President wide leeway to conduct the war without judicial or congressional interference.
I have no real opinion as to whether war with Iran is inevitable or necessary as most of what we get are garbled information compared to insiders. But, I do know, it is best to actually return to formalities if we ever have to do substantial warmaking to defeat a nation.
Re Houthis, it was a punitive strike because they purposefully shot at US Naval ships so their military installations, missiles, and ammo bunkers to let them do that are fair game to be blown up real good.

He is MS-13 and wasn't convicted of anything in the US, just deported as an alien enemy back to his own country. In the normal way of things, he should have been chucked into CECOT since that is what they do with MS-13 in that country. The facility was built for MS-13.
Abrego appears to have been held back from that for whatever reason, and Pres Bukele saying he loves playing chess means there are wheels within wheels here.
Not sure how Tren de Aragua is being handled since they are being held for US payments, but Abrego is just MS-13 and Salvadoran

It is undeniable that a state of hostilities exists between the US and Iran. A Congressional recognition of that would be helpful. It doesn't mean that we need to invade tomorrow, or ever, but it does allow us to do things that nation states can't do in peacetime.
We could, for instance, seize any financial asset of Iran within our reach, impose a blockade and seize any tankers carrying Iranian oil whatever their flag, and arrest any Iranian citizen we can find.

Trump to Order Investigation Into Criminal Democrat Buckraking Operation ActBlue
It's the Democrats' own Holy Land Foundation.
From the Daily Caller News Foundation:Trump is expected to sign a memorandum on Thursday instructing the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate ActBlue for potentially allowing foreign "straw donors" to pump cash into U.S. elections via the fundraising platform, according to a fact sheet outlining the memo obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. Various media reports and congressional investigations have unearthed indications that ActBlue may have engaged in "potential criminal activity," according to House Republicans, and the organization has reportedly been in disarray in recent months. "The Memorandum directs the Attorney General to investigate and take appropriate action concerning allegations regarding the use of online fundraising platforms to make 'straw' or 'dummy' contributions and to make foreign contributions to U.S. political candidates and committees, all of which break the law," the fact sheet states. "Specifically, the Memorandum notes that a congressional investigation revealed significant fraud schemes using ActBlue and, over a 30-day period during the 2024 election cycle, hundreds of ActBlue donations from foreign IP addresses using prepaid cards, despite it being illegal for foreign nationals to contribute to U.S. elections. It instructs the Attorney General to report the results of the investigation to the President, through the Counsel to the President." The fact sheet further describes ActBlue as "notorious for its lax standards" and emphasizes that the forthcoming crackdown on the fundraising platform is intended to enforce election integrity and security in the U.S. House Republicans published a report summarizing the findings of their investigations into ActBlue earlier in April. That report found that ActBlue made their standards less stringent on two occasions in 2024, and that the platform has detected in recent years at least 22 potential "fraud campaigns," nine of which had a "foreign nexus." Specifically, congressional investigators found that ActBlue changed its policies in September 2024 to essentially flag only the most suspicious donations instead of all suspicious donations. Additionally, the organization moved in April 2024 to increase its threshold for triggering an automatic fraud review, thereby making its standards more lenient across the board. "Internal documents produced to the Committees show that ActBlue policy changes have made it easier for bad actors to fraudulently donate to Democrat campaigns and causes," the House report states. "ActBlue weakened its fraud-prevention rules twice in 2024, even after internal assessments confirmed that these policy changes would lead to more fraudulent donations. While ActBlue boasts about its recent changes requiring (card security codes) and banning certain donations made using gift cards and prepaid cards, internal documents confirm that these rule changes were carefully calibrated to minimize the effects on ActBlue's donation volume and reputation." Moreover, The New York Times reported in March that at least seven senior ActBlue employees left the organization in February for reasons that were not clear. The senior staff exodus raised concerns of unions representing ActBlue employees, with the groups writing to leadership to express concern that the departures "[eroded] our confidence in the stability of the organization."Trump's first term was frustrating because his bark turned out to be much worse than his bite. He was really interested in working with the Democrats and uniting the country. And he was hoping to unite the Republican Party, including the NeverTrumpers and globalist RINOs, and bring them on board. Now, he no longer holds any illusions about that possibility. He intends to unite the country, by destroying the Democrat Party and the institutions it has corrupted into being organs of International Marxism, Inc.

Yeah. Someone on Rogan a year or so ago made a brilliant point that has stuck with me since then -- basically he said when they're talking about "democracy" they're not talking about, you know, ruling of the people by the people.
They're talking about a consensus of institutions that came out of the "democratic" (as opposed to third world or communist, I guess) countries.
So when they say "electing Trump is a threat to democracy" it makes perfect sense using their definition of the word, even if it sounds retarded to those of us using the definition of the word everyone was using 10 years ago.

Mike Nellis: ActBlue is the backbone of Democratic grassroots fundraising. It allows everyday people—not billionaires—to fuel campaigns from city council to the White House. It’s how we compete with the right-wing megadonor machine. And now, Musk and his allies are trying to destroy it. #StandWithActBlue
Scaring off future donations - they will be looking for donor information. Looking forward to seeing each and every one of my fellow donors in El Salvador.

[The next post is] Ironic on the day where he's expected to announce action against ActBlue bc it doesn't do enough to prevent foreign donations:

Someone just spent $8 million on $TRUMP memecoins after the president announced that the top holders would be invited to join him at a private dinner at his DC golf club.
The purchases were funded by a Binance account, suggesting the wallet owner is not based in the US.

So DH walked me into work every day and gave that ass the stink eye. When my boss told him he would make sure I was safe, DH said, "You had better, or I will and you won't like the results." DH is a real man.
Fast forward a year and a half, and the jackass assaulted my boss. Suddenly, the jerk was fired.
Huh.

And sleep with teenaged girls. Note, this was supposedly platonic and just proved how pure he was.
Posted by: 18-1
I thought the "sleeping with teenage girls" thing was some kind of Indian cultural/spiritual thing, but a quick Google search seems to indicate it was just Ghandi. That same quick search brought up this headline:
Vice: Gandhi Was a Racist Who Forced Young Girls to Sleep in Bed with Him.

It is and the issue is that states can get into the game as well under DTPA laws. Deceptive Trade Practices Acts under various names in the states. Fraudulent activity is not protected under federal law from state prosecutions.
The feds can also use the locales of the alleged fake donations as the nexus where the crime occurred or where ActBlue's servers are located. You can add in wirefraud to charges as well. That means cases do not and should not be tried in blue strongholds like DC but where the crimes were allegedly committed in jurisdictions across the US.

I don't know why there is this weird American obsession with Ghandi.
I guess to push the left in the 1960's to "non violence" like Ghandi? I don't know.
He was, at best, a weirdo Indian guy who liked to sleep with 2 young women every night to prove how pure he was. And I'm pretty sure the young women were his relatives.
Which in any other scenario, would be a big ol' red flag.

According to communists, they represent the true will of the people, but the capitalists, billionaires and “right-wing media”* brainwash people into rejecting their ideas and embracing fascism.
To save democracy—whose natural end-state is communism, once the voters realize they can loot the treasury—they must silence fascists and ban right-wing parties.

Started with Eleanor and FDR's desire to supplant the British empire with an American trading one. Lots of US corporations behind that as well seeking new markets and cheap materials including labor. The constant refrain during the 30's and 40's from US publications was that India should be free. Even the Brits agreed with that creating the separate Dominion status for it to gain independence gradually.
Gandhi, like the little bitch he was, wanted it NOW despite the fact that Hindus and Muslims mix in that nation like oil and water. Far too much bad history there for united India. Arguably, Gandhi and his nationalism led to the bloodbath that occurred after the Brits left despite Gandhi wailing about separating his beloved India.

Makes sense.
I have a friend from India. Upper class, his uncle is a corrupt cop. Not really relevant.
Anyways, his take on Ghandi was that he was a fraud, he was not popular with most Indians, and that a lot of the Sikh / Muslim / Hindu fighting, including some famous train slaughter I'd never heard of was Ghandi's fault.
Sounds ... ahistorical to me. I would imagine the Muslims and Sikhs had good reason to not be fans of Hindus and their caste system, etc. But again, I'm no expert in Indian history.

They already have the court saying that District courts can't compel the Executive and must pay 'due deference' to their rights. They don't, of course, but that puts them on the back foot with Robert's supposed love for the norms.

Its one thing for some dude in another part of India talking about a master state run on his religious lines. Its another when he's speaking of it imposing it on your area against your will.
India as a unified state was pretty alien in the 20s and 30s. The subcontinent wide fight to survive Japan built an army and a mission that for the first time was "Indian" rather than just from a district.

Yes, I know the Sikh's and Muslims didn't get along.
But my friends argument was that the sikhs and muslims turned against hindu's due to Ghandi.
Which, again, I have to imagine that they had plenty of animus before Ghandi was around.

========
Moghul Empire was imposed by Muslims conquering India. Not a nice one as places like the Taj Mahal used similar conscripted labor just like the Pyramids did. So historical grievance there. Sikhs and Zoroastrians among other religious minorities ended up supporting the Moghul Empire and aiding them in repressing the Hindi because they feared the Hindi more than the Muslims.
British interests gradually took over India from trading concessions over about a century or so. The main reason is that the independent rajahs were so damn corrupt, evil and careless in their rule. The huge number of dialects effectively prevented a united India until the Brits provided them English as a lingua franca.
Hindis like Gandhi were the primary ones wanting the Brits out so they could dominate the new India and many of rest of the minorities like Muslims revolted against a Hindi ethno state.

If I recall correctly, all along, there was a historical warrior caste in India, some of them eventually became Sikhs in about the 15th century under the teachings of a particular guru.
At times, they fought the Muslims and at times the Hindi after that.

In 2020, I went on the BLM website out of morbid curiosity, since they were wrecking/rioting in NYC. The whole page was BLM stuff -- but I scrolled down and down, and a little bit past the bottom.
Only Then did a bar of text pop up, and it said, "ActBlue is a 501c# charitable organization"... Ergo, BLM was a $$$ funnel for the DNC operation.
