Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Jerry Nadler, Who Dropped a Load on Live TV, Will Retire to Spend More Time With His OdorsThe New York Times calls him "The Old Guard," which is accurate enough. Nadler, Pillar of Democratic Party's Old Guard, Will Retire Next Year Representative Jerrold Nadler, a New York Democrat who has been one of Congress's leading liberal voices for three decades, will not seek re-election next year, heeding a call for generational change roiling his party. The decision will mark the close of a 34-year congressional career that put Mr. Nadler at the center of major civil rights battles and three presidential impeachments. It will also almost certainly touch off a crowded primary fight over a rare open Democratic seat in the heart of Manhattan. In a recent interview in his downtown Manhattan office, Mr. Nadler, 78, said he hesitated to step aside when he believes that President Trump is threatening the foundations of democracy. But he said he had been persuaded it was time for a changing of the guard. "Watching the Biden thing really said something about the necessity for generational change in the party, and I think I want to respect that," Mr. Nadler said, adding that a younger successor "can maybe do better, can maybe help us more." Mr. Nadler, who is both the longest-serving New Yorker and Jewish member of the House, had already been swept up in an intraparty reckoning over aging leaders. He was forced to give up his House Judiciary Committee leadership at the beginning of the term when it became clear a younger, more energetic colleague would beat him. Back home, he was facing a 26-year-old primary challenger. ...Indeed. NY courts redrew NYC's Congressional districts. Jerry Nadler and Carolyn Maloney, two hard-left liberals, were forced to compete in the same primary when their districts were merged. Nader defeated Maloney. And now he says he's too old to continue serving. Ted Stryker has thoughts. ... Mr. Nadler said last week that he was now fearful Mr. Trump was bent on undoing much of what he had fought for in Congress.A big impetus for his decision: He's pro-Israel in a party that is now pro-Hamas terrorism and pro-Second-Holocaujst. ... For years, he has tried to stake out space for a politics that was both pro-Israel and progressive. But in the interview, he conceded that Israel's brutal prosecution of the war in Gaza had not only turned Democrats against a former ally "to a very major extent" but made his own position increasingly hard to maintain. "I don't know what to say at this point," he said. "I can't defend what Israel is doing." Mr. Nadler has been sharply critical of Hamas, still believes in a two-state solution for the region and does not agree with those who say Israel is carrying out genocide in Gaza. But he said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel was committing mass murder and war crimes in Gaza "without question." Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

I'd be interested to see what happens to the Jewish vote when these old dinosaurs (Schumer is another) all get kicked to the curb. Does the Jewish vote continue being so lopsidedly Democratic when they are increasingly unwelcome in positions of power in the party? Because the young GOP isn't all that pro (or anti) Israel. Continue having every "civil rights" organization or teachers union have a head with a vaguely Ashkenazic surname, and the whole party might look like Tucker Carlson in a generation. On the other hand, fill the GOP with lots more people like Stephen Miller and the Libs of TikTok lady, and the GOP could look VERY different. But the Jewish vote can't keep being 65%-70% Democratic if you want a pro-Israel/anti-caliphate GOP in the future.

> What does "I'm rubber, you're glue" mean?
It's a child's taunt. The full thing goes like this, "I'm rubber, you're glue. Whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you." The declaration means that when someone says something negative about you, they've only said it about themselves. "You're fat" "Nuh uh, I'm rubber, you're glue. You're fat."

This is part of the belief system of the Magic Kids that run the Democrats:
If we speak it, it will be. Demonic. It is becoming an obsession by the left "this day is the day Trump will die." I have never thought the death of any individual on the left would end their movement or power--Obama, Biden, Soros, etc. But the left is completely consumed with the belief that the death of Trump will end MAGA. Of course, the reality is, his death will stop nothing, will not be enough. And so, if it takes millions of deaths (your death), that's a reasonable price to pay, they believe, if it gets them back in power.

From the weekend:
Bluesky: I'm not doing the conspiracy thing, and I don't think Trump is actually dead. (We're not that lucky.) But are these the same person? Or has he had radical plastic surgery on his ear in the last three days? We do know that Trump's ears have magically miraculous healing capabilities after all. Maybe he's reposting older photos? I was hoping he was headed for the exit, but at least he got an eyeful on social media of the number of people waiting and hoping for his demise! How would it feel to realize so many people hate you? Are you sure that's new footage & not a body double? Obviously, given their use of doubles with Melania, it's not beyond them. We are so anxious for him to go away that we overreact to any hint of his health. Normal reaction on our part but we have to be more realistic in our expectations. He’s a 79 year old man and this is quite normal, sorry to say. Nothing life threatening (although I wish it were). he was out of sight undergoing medical stuff. No way do you want that man making decisions. Someone else is doing the president stuff under his name.

This has been going on for a while.
From July 24 on Bluesky (with some responses): When it happens, you're probably not even going to learn about it directly before you feel it in the air. You'll just hear car horns and cheering in the streets. You'll feel confused, annoyed. You'll check your phone. Huh, 41 new texts. I've been hiking and camping a lot off grid this year and every time just before I reconnect to signal I have this buzzing moment of "what if it happened while I was offline" When I go to the water park I leave my phone in a locker (I don't trust the waterproof case lol) and every time, at the end of the day when I go get my things, I'm like "What if today was the day?" the farmers market POPPED the day that his ear got winged. instant vibe shift while looking at onions. laughter and lots if movement. it is going to be nuts Posted by: The ARC of History! at September 02, 2025 01:59 PM (xTIDn) 85

I had a bad experience with my Pharmacist today.
I do an injection of prescribed medicine every two weeks. I get a vial of medicine to draw from and some needles as part of this prescription. In the past, I got a single vial per injection. I recently did a refill and they gave me one vial for four injections. I called the pharmacy and they told me the stopper is anti-microbial and it's fine. They also gave me a song and dance about the insurance company auditing them if they dispense too much for a prescription. I told them the bottle is clearly labeled "Single dose". They told me that's not what it means. I did some research and found CDC info specifically telling medical providers NOT to use single dose vials multiple times and that microbial growth in the medicine from using a single dose vial has caused serious injuries. -CONTINUED- Posted by: bonhomme at September 02, 2025 02:17 PM (lIio7) 176

But these feral cannibals are heavily concentrated in key cities and almost all of them are the worst toxic scumbags of all toxic scumbags: Somalis. If a population of only 5% can do this, what happens when they reach 10%? 20? 30? Posted by: Elric The Blade at September 02, 2025 02:22 PM (iFTx/) 202

MAGA is a return to populism in American politics.
It was sidelined for 100 years by the capture of the working class by the Dems. The Constitution was written for the people, for them to control all of government. Populism is always decried as a dirty word, the sister of fascism, because it dares tear down the power of the elite.

If I asked the Horde what MAGA is, I think, as Potter Stewart would say, that we'd know it when we see it.
One of the things Jonah Goldberg said early in Trump 1.0 days was that there was no such thing as Trumpism besides "whatever Trump does." That was probably true -- or at least more true than not -- at the time. But I think now "MAGA" has become shorthand for an actual political philosophy whose central theme is doing what's actually best for us (in terms of trade, national defense, international relations, etc.) instead of just what makes us feel good about ourselves (like throwing $$$ around to various self-proclaimed victim classes) and will outlive DJT personally.

Way to fix it? Each Congressional Districts Electoral Vote is a mini election for that one vote, with the Senate votes going to whoever wins the overall State Vote. No more of this Big State all Electoral votes go to one candidate, even if they win by a single vote. Posted by: Romeo13 == I would prefer a system like that, but have never war gamed it out. But it could also be gerrymandered to irrelevancy also. I think much of the problem is in these big blue states, Republicans just dont vote because it's already been decided. Even in the bluest of states, once you get outside the big city, it's all red. The entire Democrat power center is just like 10 major cities.

Here's something completely different....
After my mom died, her sister, aunt D, gave me a "dammit doll". Ugly little thing with yarn hair, hideous dress, and drawn on x-es for eyes. The point of the doll was that when I got overwhelmed by the loss I could just bash this doll against a table, wall, chair, whatever to feel better. I never used it. Just put it away and forgot about it. Recently I was cleaning my sewing room and picked up my pin cushion. It fell apart. Dammit. Oh hey! I got an idea! Find the dammit doll, remove ugly dress and ribbons, off with the icky yarn hair and..... Voila! I have a new pin cushion! My son looks at me funny over this. Can't think why.

My understanding is the CA lawsuit hinged on Walgreens not performing legally required checks to verify the prescriptions legitimacy.

Posted by: Axeman The case itself was actually moot as you point out as it was raised in the Missouri State court system first up to the Missouri Supreme Court (which flipped its previous ruling--once free always free to slavery forever) Then Taney allowed it to be revived in federal court despite collateral estoppel doctrine to specifically fix the slavery problem forever via precedent. Key to that was denying blacks access to the courts even in free states (the idiotic use of Declaration of Independence and citizenship of the US), state legislatures and courts because of a super right to property by slaveholders, and denying Congress and the president powers to limit where one takes their property which overturned the Missouri Compromise and the Compromise of 1850.

Were I Linehan, I'd file a civil complaint against law enforcement, and initiate a human rights violation against the trans-animal that reported on him. The complaint would play up the "punching in the balls" aspect of the matter since this is what law enforcement used to make the arrest via an "inciting violence" approach. There are people out there who think ball punching is a valid form of foreplay (because of course there are). And, suggesting that it was against the law infringes on the rights of ball punchers everywhere who consider it a valid form of sexual expression....Don't believe me?

There’s no other explanation than genuine mental illness, same as Rowling. I, as a trans person and the recipient of all this hate, still don’t hate anyone like they do. It's not possible for a person acting in good faith to doubt trans folks sincerity. Too many people go to their death over it for starters. Pretending the experience doesn't exist is willful delusion. He directly incited violence against a minority group.

The significance of this is that for a while now there has been a class of people who were above the hate crime laws. Media stars could say basically what they wanted and would not be arrested. They knew this, and you would once in a while acknowledge it. So it is not a big deal that someone was arrested for a tweet -- they do that a dozen times a day. It is a big deal that a nomenclature was arrested for a tweet. Posted by: bob (moron incognitus) at September 02, 2025 01:09 PM (34w5K) 262

My Hate Feed wants me to be upset that a veteran from the Afghan war has been arrested and charged with conspiracy wrt an anti-ICE protest in Seattle.
Lots of stuff about his--irrelevant--past; veteran, top secret clearance, wounded by IED, PTSD;just purchased a house w/ his veteran GF. One blurb on what he actually did: "scuffled" with an officer and locked arms with the rest of the protestors to prevent movement of the ICE vehicle. Of course, they are trying to frame that as solely a First Amendment issue--as Ace noted, the left believes they have a law just for them, that the crimes committed while protesting are protected by the 1st. This is also the tact taken by the San Fran judge that just ruled Trump's use of the National Guard was illegal; falsely claiming--without evidence--that the motivations of Trump were violations of the First Amendment. And the clown judge also lied and said the NG were enforcing laws. A lie b/c the NG never arrested a single person. All of this is going to get smacked down hard by SCOTUS. Merely b/c Soros prosecutors had a policy of never charging the left for crimes while protesting--and claiming it was due to the 1st: That is not the law.

It's funny the idea that people from anywhere in the world from any culture in the world can replace those of a specific culture and place like people are just widgets.
Communism is largely forgotten, relegated to the more intellectual lefty activists while the rest chase after race and gender constructs. But the underlying assumptions are still there. People are interchangeable. An 18 year old Syrian Muslim can easily replace a hypothetical 18 year old kid from Hartfordshire. They're just the same. No, the solution is never, "Find ways to get English women to make more babies," it's always, "Just import third worlders who hate Britain."

Posted by: Archimedes ======== You can consider me one of them. Vance has run one race and was a very short term senator. Now compare Vance with someone like DeSantis who has ran a large state very conservatively for years now plus has a stint in Congress. Vance's profile is more like GHWB's profile than someone like Trump or DeSantis (or even Abbot for that matter). Brief stint in Congress, then VP with a favorable biography. What is needed post Trump is a consolidator and this is where often the disruptor is followed by someone that actually steers the ship of state back onto the rocks either willingly (GHWB) or because they are too weak to steer against the prevailing currents (GWB).

I knew nothing about her, but I couldn't believe how intelligent she was at identifying all the issues in the UK.

She was also saying the Labor Party had insulated the bureaucracy to the point its ungovernable. Sound familiar?

--- Words without deeds are dead and useless. Since then, I don't know that the Trump admin has done anything to back that up. This is highly disturbing b/c the source of the pretext of "legal" justification of all the censorship from Covid through Biden (and largely still ongoing) was due to "findings" issued by these European governments. It's time to kick them in the balls. Revoke their visas as threatened. Of all UK (and Aussie) government officials. Expel their ambassador. Tell them to get their house in order or don't bother coming back. Either kill their censorship now or it'll come back to us if the Dems ever get an inch of power.

I've told this story before but I like it so I'll tell it again. I was in a Cabela's holding an M1 that I had decided to buy. There was a gentleman there in a wheelchair who was probably in his early- or mid-90s. He made a wistful comment about "his rifle." I locked the bolt open, handed it to him, and knelt beside his chair. He said that he had carried an M1 in Korea and fought at Chosin. He talked a little more then handed it back to me, leaned forward in his chair and with all the emphasis he could muster -- which wasn't much more than a loud whisper -- said "Never let them take your guns."

Over There you have rights until the government or the parliament says you don't. We still have the quaint notion here that your rights can't be taken away. At least, that's how it's supposed to work. Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh ======= The Whig era of Rights in Britain was only about one century out of 1000 years of history there with either King or parliament ruling as Supreme. Either one gladly trampled the rights if it benefited them to do so which is why the Magna Carta and rights over there are viewed as historical but not pertinent to the UK today. US colonies was settled mainly by those of the Whig persuasion in natural rights but that era in Britain was over by the time of King George III.

They import millions to grow the industries they are interested in - government workers - teachers - social workers - and Big Tech/ Big Retail (Amazon, Walmart, etc.) They all need lots of people and they don't care who.

There are so many easy reforms we could make to SS and fix it for the next several decades.
It's way easier than importing workers. If SS literally goes to zero before I can claim it, I'll be fine. It's a rounding error on my retirement. But it never will go to zero. What we spent on dumb wars in the Middle East could easily cover projected shortfalls. Posted by: Leupold Social Security is the easy fix simply by raising the retirement age to 65 for early and 70 for full just as they did in the 80s--increase the time needed by one month per year. Last calculations was this would stabilize Social Security until the 2070's or so. But, the largest and fastest increasing drivers of our deficits have switched to Medicare and Medicaid. (Mandatory interest on the debt is also one of the fast growers). Medicare taxes are far too low comparatively with Social Security with total exhaustion of the alleged trust fund in a couple of years (even now the Fed General funds are making up the bulk of the difference). Medicaid is all welfare spending and much of it does little to anything to improve health of those covered. Posted by: whig at September 02, 2025 01:33 PM (WDjG6) 411

Caliphates are not feudalism, unless you use Marx's definition.
Posted by: Eeyore ======= Marx is actually useful here--there is not much practical difference to the textbook description of aristo-ruler with mutually reinforcing obligations, Egyptian Pharoah God Kings and a pseudo aristocracy of religious leaders, and Muslim Caliphates--you prop up teh Caliph as the titular head of both religion and rule but the functionaries aka courtiers run the place in the Caliph's name.

Posted by: Aikido2kyu at September 02, 2025 01:59 PM (4uzkQ) The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition![]() The Palestinian people do not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity… Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct ‘Palestinian people’ to oppose Zionism. Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons. But it has become an incredibly powerful tool for Islam, and its newly ascendant drive to dominate the West and create a worldwide Caliphate. Of course, that desire has never flagged, but the ebb and flow of power and religion and technological and cultural advancement (and its lack in the Arab/Muslim world) has conspired to prevent Islam from acquiring the means to destroy Christianity, Hinduism, and Judaism. That has changed: Oil revenue, the revolution in transportation, the internet and its instant worldwide connectivity, and most of all the post-modern decay of the West has allowed militant Islam (is there any other kind?) unprecedented access to the West; both physically through immigration, and virtually, through the internet and the purchase of influence with oceans of oil revenue. And the "Palestine" question is the tip of the spear of Islam. They use the issue to cow weak-willed Western governments into vilifying Israel, which paradoxically is the one Western country that is fighting Islam's expansion! They use their millions of followers in the West as violent signals of what Islam is capable of...mobilizing them for often violent street protests that are designed to frighten the populace and signal to the political classes that they must support Islam, because it is growing, it is violent, and it will vote! Those carefully choreographed mass prayers in Western cities? Why do they pray in the streets when they have perfectly good mosques available? They are flexing! When thousands of Muslims block traffic near the Vatican for their performative street theater of prayer, in spite of Rome having a 12,000 person mosque, it is for one thing...to signal to the world that the West, Christianity, Catholicism, and the Pope are targets. "Palestine" is an excuse. The Arab world finds the so-called Palestinians to be more trouble than they are worth, and much prefer that they remain in Gaza and Judea and Samaria (or immigrate to the West). Just look at Egypt...right next to Gaza, yet their border is tightly controlled and impassable, and they are serious about keeping the Gazans out of Egypt! But as a tool to destroy Israel? Absolutely. And as a tool with which to intimidate Western politicians who are willing to feed that crocodile? Fantastic! Until the West realizes that Islam is a revolutionary political philosophy that uses an ersatz religion to control its adherents, and that its goal is world domination, we will continue to lose ground. The recent summit of China, India, and Russia is in stark contrast to the West's inability to see Islam as it is, rather than as it wishes to be seen. China controls its Muslim population with an iron fist. India has a simmering conflict with Pakistan and regularly cracks down on its Muslim population, and Russia has no illusions about Islam's goals. Are those three countries going to be the saviors of the world against Islam? [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter and X/Twitter].

China, Russia, and India can not save the West from Islam. Russia and Communist China are in "Imperial Overstretch" and will lose the ability to shape Islam. India has an internal problem and a Islamic country that hates India, with it's own nuclear weapons. Even though Pakistan is a hot mess, they exist.

You know who else understands the felonious scumbaggery of Islam? The Philippines. They have long had problems with insane murderous Muslim groups in the south. The notorious error group Abu Sayyaf is from south Philippines.
Ferdinand Marcos was allowed to stay in power as long as he did in part because he was (rightfully) ruthless against the Muslim terrorists. Sadly, his sons were soyboys who bent the knee. Posted by: Elric The Blade at September 02, 2025 11:07 AM (iFTx/) 18
I don't much care about Palestine. No one is going to do, or allow to be done, what everyone knows must be done, including Israel, which has a significant self-gassing contingent. It's not that I don't have a preferred side (obviously), but it's hard to care about a problem that no one actually wants to solve.

Man charged with murder in Houston door-knock prank shooting of 11-year-old boy
Cass said the boy who was shot in the back lived about a block from the home. The victim and at least two of his friends had been going around their neighborhood banging on or kicking doors and running away, Cass said. Cass said the preliminary information indicates that the victims and his friends ran down the street after banging on the suspect's door. "Our witness says the suspect came out of the door, ran out into the street and was firing down the road," Cass said. He said the victim was able to run about a block before collapsing in the street.

Muslims do what their demonic prophet demands they do.
Lie, cheat, steal, rape, plunder, torture, murder for the glory of Allah. When they don't have power, they lie and subvert. When they do have power, they torture and oppress. There are some "good" Muslims, but they are the ones who ignore the demands of their demonic religion. "True" Muslims are evil people.

Pick up an early 1960s encyclopedia for the letter "P". There will be no entry for "Palestine" in most of them. In the one or two that did have an entry for "Palestine", it merely says that Palestine is a region--there is no mention of statehood or government and no claims made that the "region" has or was "stolen".

Jews have been living in Israel for as long as we can measure, the Muslims conquered it in the 600s but it was generally not an important of a region for them.
Most of the Muslim population in Israel moved there after the start of Zionism in the 1800s. The European Jews that moved to the region brought scientific knowledge and modern production/farming methods which then created a market for workers, which Egyptians and Jordanians responded to. So, removing the Muslim population from Israel would clearly be "anti-colonialism" but unlike removing whites from South Africa the left has a problem with their ideas being used in this region for some reason...

Our “leaders” are apparently vetted quite carefully, in the sense they are useless or, worse than useless about defending their country, the populace, the faith. Way too many fucknuckles running everything from behind the scenes. Fomenting revolution and coups around the globe, it’s little wonder there’s going to be “blowback”. I’m not excusing their perfidy but it does help explain it. They have been making bank on the destruction as well. It would be difficult to overstate how precarious this situation really is.

A cosplayer is facing 10 years in prison for a third degree felony charge. What did 25 yr old Kendra Manning do? She made a threat to blow up the Gamer Supps booth at San Japan Anime + Gaming convention. Luckily someone reported her threat to con staff who in turn called in the police. Was she a feminist that hated scantily clad cosplay chicks? Or did she hate this company in particular? And is Kendra actually a woman or a DIAD?

India is in better shape regarding Muslims simply because Indian fertility is as high as its enemies and China is actually stomping on Uighurs up to and including concentration camps for them. Sinification of Sinkiang has been going on for decades now.
I was curious, so I checked. The fertility rate for Indian muslims is 2.36 (above replacement) while that for Hindus is 1.9 (below replacement). Pakistan is 3.6 as of 2023. https://is.gd/xOjsYm Posted by: Archimedes at September 02, 2025 11:22 AM (Riz8t) 78
By that logic, it's probably best to just do whatever muslims want. Upsetting them should not lead to being killed. But it may lead to be killed. Probably best not to upset them.

So...banging on someone's door in the middle of the night is always a risky move...
But one way to calm this kind of stuff down is to execute/imprison violent prisoners. If we had a society like we did 60 years ago you wouldn't have to be as worried about a gang banker trying to break down your door to rob/rape/murder you as you have to be now...especially in places like Houston Posted by: 18-1 at September 02, 2025 11:23 AM (sKqQm) 81

Long ago and far away...at the turn of the century-
Forbes had a special edition 1999 on What would be the important issues or discoveries or problems of the 21st Century and had all sorts of Big Brains and Our Betters writing short articles on their mind-thoughts. Most of the articles were the usual pablum and banal observations, but- one guy's article really stood out to me. He argued that the 21st century would see the re-introduction of imperialism by the West specifically to control and possibly eliminate islam, because of all the violence and instability that islam was creating in the world. Then 9/11 happened and I thought...well, here we go. Did that guy ever make to right call! Buuuuuuuuuut, sadly...no. Instead, islam with the help of the WEF, EU et al, decided to let Islam imperialism colonize the West and bring that instability/terrorism/rape world wide.

I have a theory that Muslims hate Jews on a visceral level just for being Jews, but that they hate Christians for their theology. The idea of a humble Jesus being crucified instead of fighting back makes them crazy, and they really hate the sign of the cross.

Massive Discovery Hints at a Lost Global Civilization Wiped Out by a Mysterious Flood
A hidden city buried under Iraq’s desert may hold the key to a forgotten global civilization destroyed by a flood 20,000 years ago. Tell Fara has been a focus of archaeological interest since the 1930s, excavations have revealed relics such as cuneiform tablets and polychrome ceramics from around 5,000 years ago. But beneath these remains, researchers recently identified a thick layer of yellow clay and sand—an “inundation layer“—suggesting that the site experienced a powerful flood long before the known settlements existed. This flood layer hints at an earlier civilization buried under layers of sediment. Similar geological signs have also been observed at Ur and Kish in Mesopotamia, Harappa in the Indus Valley, and even ancient Nile River sites in Egypt.

I know that islam is complicated. Factions are turned backwards and inside out. The 'good' muslim is the one that follows mohamad's piratical mandates (blessings) to the letter. They do the killing and etc. The 'bad' muslim does not follow these mandates although they pretend in private with other muslims, making themselves MINOs. They are not much different than Unitarians. But both 'good' and 'bad' muslims contribute to the building of the caliphate materially.

Once the assault aka what created the original fear of death or serious injury ends as in the kids running away, then the threat is over--no lethal force is allowed. For the most part, leaving the house to engage in fighting with the intruder slides over into mutual combat rather than repelling an assault. The caveat is protection of others from assault such as a perp trying to snatch one's child out of the front yard or some such. Or you are engaging with people using long arms who do a tactical retreat but keep shooting at your house (aka gang banger drive bys). Prevention of arson of your domicile might also be justified.

We had some drunk Hispanic dude try to kick in our front door early New Year's morning a few years ago. My son and I put our full combined weight against the door while my wife called the cops. They came and hauled the guy away. He was pretty short, and my son and I are both tall, so even had he succeeded in getting into the house the two of us could've easily subdued him.

Gaza post-war plan proposes ‘voluntary' relocation, ‘tokens’ in exchange for land, US media reports
Middle East A post-war plan for Gaza circulating within President Donald Trump's administration envisions a "voluntary relocation" of the population to build a tourist and manufacturing hub that will be overseen by the US for at least 10 years, the Washington Post reported Sunday. The 38-page plan offers Gaza land owners a "digital token" in exchange for property development rights. Issued on: 31/08/2025 By: FRANCE 24 ---- Running head first into a wall. Again.

A federal judge ruled Tuesday that the Trump administration violated federal law in the use of National Guard troops amid Southern California immigration enforcement operations and accompanying protests. Clinton Judge Charles Breyer found President Donald Trump’s administration violated federal law by sending troops to the Los Angeles area. The judge in San Francisco did not require the remaining troops to be withdrawn, however. He set his order to go into effect on Friday.

>>The Impoundment Control Act of 1974 is one of those stupidly unconstitutional things that has been allowed to fester because it feeds too many scriveners. Well, not looking at the history at, I can imagine that chief executives were getting very creative with the money congress was appropriating. I'm fine with the whole if money isn't explicitly appropriated then the executive gets to decide what to do with it, if it's explicitly appropriated but the administration believes the expenditure is not appropriate and or the purpose can be achieved for less or through different means, then impound and rescind. The problem is congress is corrupt, lazy and dead-locked so nothing can really be done quickly or efficiently. Posted by: Thomas Bender at September 02, 2025 11:41 AM (XFPre) 163

Yeah, chasing an actual home invader down the street and shooting him in the back as he flees (while fine by me honestly) could easily lead to a charge.

Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia has revealed he ditched the Democrats to back President Trump after realizing the US border crisis was spiraling out of control — insisting he could no longer support a party that “lets in criminals and dangerous people into our country.” The tech billionaire was a lifelong Dem — until around 2021, when he started shifting toward the Republican Party because of his concern at the lack of immigration enforcement under President Joe Biden. “I remember just being like, ‘Holy cow, this is crazy,’” Gebbia told “The Katie Miller Podcast” on Monday.

Tell Fara has been a focus of archaeological interest since the 1930s, excavations have revealed relics such as cuneiform tablets and polychrome ceramics from around 5,000 years ago. But beneath these remains, researchers recently identified a thick layer of yellow clay and sand—an “inundation layer“—suggesting that the site experienced a powerful flood long before the known settlements existed.
This flood layer hints at an earlier civilization buried under layers of sediment. Similar geological signs have also been observed at Ur and Kish in Mesopotamia, Harappa in the Indus Valley, and even ancient Nile River sites in Egypt. Posted by: SMOD at September 02, 2025 11:32 AM (RHGPo) Just a thought- if a civilization as advanced as ours got wiped out by a catastrophe (say, a flood), what would be left after just 1000 years?

Let’s get their adrenaline level up due to fear for a while. Posted by: Common Tater ======== Warning shots in almost every state actually give those fleeing a possible right to self defense by shooting you. Once the threat is over, you cannot re engage with something like a warning shot as that starts the clock on a new confrontation. In that new confrontation, you are now in the position of the aggressor. Whether or not you feel they need to be punished, nowadays warning shots or even brandishing are NOT the way to do it unless you want to be charged. Better off using cameras, etc. and other passive means to retaliate by reporting it to the cops. My advice so YMMV. Posted by: whig at September 02, 2025 11:46 AM (WDjG6) 184

Just my luck but on day 3 of doing the same thing at the same time I got the house of a young angry dad who was waiting in between houses. And the race was on! He whiffed on the open tackle and I made a break across the street and through back yards. Little did I know about the terraced yard I was running through and I felt this guys hand on my shirt just as I also felt nothing under my feet.

"Whether or not you feel they need to be punished, nowadays warning shots or even brandishing are NOT the way to do it unless you want to be charged.
Better off using cameras, etc. and other passive means to retaliate by reporting it to the cops. My advice so YMMV. Posted by: whig at September 02, 2025 11:46 AM (WDjG6)" Warning shots are a terrible idea re: the man because in many environments, gunshots are, well, very noticeable. Brandishing on the other hand is situational. Far more bullshit gets stopped in its tracks with some judicious brandishing than by verbal threats or actual violence. They key is you have to understand where/when to do it such that the other party isn't going to report it; and if they call your bluff you're going to have to be ready to shoot them - and make up some bullshit about how they started it, presuming you can't just GTFO entirely and wash your hands of it. Is this legal, hell no. Do people have the judgement and understanding that "what is legal" differs from "what is practical or possible" based on life experience to swing it - not always. But it's the way things actually work in much of the world. Posted by: heya at September 02, 2025 11:53 AM (/AlcU) 208

Nowadays, assume all your comms are accessible to third parties including what you post here--you share something with a third party--they can obtain it and your id from a simple subpoena. And they can introduce any of these in court because they are exempt from hearsay rules because any statement that the defendant makes is NOT hearsay by definition. Might argue relevance but that is not helpful in something like a justification defense.

Posted by: Oddbob ========== My advice is don't. Georgia had a similar law which was set aside in the Arberry case due to federal and state political pressure. And Arberry even tried to seize the shotgun from one of the people trying to stop him from leaving. Often the bare statutory laws are undercut by a whole series of judicial interpretations where they don't end up meaning what you think they would by reading the statute. If you must do research on the topic, always dig up the pattern jury instructions for self defense (if available--most large states have them). That takes into account judicial precedents in common English language along with the statutory law that applies. Posted by: whig at September 02, 2025 12:10 PM (WDjG6) 260
Until the West realizes that Islam is a revolutionary political philosophy that uses an ersatz religion to control its adherents, and that its goal is world domination, we will continue to lose ground.
--- Islam only means "submission". Submission to what? The dictates of Allah. But that all gets filtered through the Imam you are listening to. So pragmatically it means submission to the will of somebody on this earth, for whatever they can stretch the Koran around. Submission for Wahabis is drastically different from more hospitable sects of Islam. (That you can't always trust, anyway). Whereas Christianity is spreading the belief in Jesus of Nazareth as the only Son of the Most High and leaders serving the people they lead. Islam tends to have mostly political and military "outreaches", supporting the idea that Muslims should rule all "infidels". So, it definitely is more of a political strategy.

- A new push by states to tax the real estate of the wealthy has sparked a backlash among brokers and potential buyers, who say the taxes punish the most important local spenders.
- Rhode Island’s new levy, nicknamed “The Taylor Swift Tax,” is among the most extreme. The measure imposes a new surcharge on second homes valued at more than $1 million. - Brokers say some second-home owners are considering selling and many would-be buyers are pausing their purchases.

>>> 224 Massive earth disturbances--such as cutting railroad passes, open pit mines, interstates, etc. Basically you cannot move masses of earth, stones, etc. without leaving an indelible geologic record across the globe.
If there was an earlier civilization than Sumer, Harappa, etc., then it probably was on par with those places, not a massively advanced global one. Posted by: whig at September 02, 2025 11:52 AM (WDjG6) I'll grant you the evidence of the tunnels/mines/road cutting, but that's not really much in the way to indicate how advanced a civilization was, just that it existed. Posted by: Formerly Virginian at September 02, 2025 11:58 AM (N1tpc) Yes and no. With plate tectonics *nothing* is indelible, but obviously, *that* is a long time frame for "everything being wiped from the record". I like to think in terms of a half-life of a civilization - the more advanced, the longer it takes and harsher conditions to wipe out most recognizable traces. And since when do we have *any* places to compare to? Plus, archaeologists seem to be one of the most hidebound groups - if something doesn't match their expectations, it's obviously a mistake, not a problem with their history.

258 Yes, I understand we’re all being monitored and on lists, and they want to kill us and throw us into a camp, take all our stuff, and don’t want to allow anybody the right of self-defense. I get that. The courts are completely corrupted, many of the police departments too. No argument there.
Posted by: Common Tater ======= It is not that so much as IF you use lethal force against someone else, then everything you did or said goes to the totality of circumstances of whether or not you understood the objective (except for a couple of states) standard of fearing serious injury or death from the yute's actions. Police now commonly subpoena social media and seize computers, phones, etc. in the course of investigations of serious crimes and those can be used by a malicious prosecutor to paint your character into a particular bloodthirsty villain. Similarly, putting cute sayings on your pistolas or rifles, putting up signs that jokingly suggest violence for trespass, and so on, are problems. Even handloading your self defense ammo (messing up GSR is a known issue with handloads) can be and has been brought up along with choice of weapons.

Burkina Faso's transitional parliament has passed a law banning homosexuality with offenders facing up to five years in prison. The Persons and Family Code law, making Burkina Faso the latest in a series of African countries to criminalise lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender activity, also tightens rules on nationality and stateless people.

Reading one statutory provision without considering ALL the statutory provisions for a particular crime is not wise. Likewise, caselaw in many states actually undercuts many of those provisions which modern courts have considered dated. There is a lot of old law based on before police and law enforcement was widely available regarding citizen's arrest, apprehension of felons,etc.
A cautionary example is the Ahmaud Arberry case in Georgia where the plain language of the Civil War era statute was ignored by judges and the three guys are spending most of their remaining days on Earth in prison because of it. Georgia consequently changed its law regarding citizen arrests and the state judges capitulated due to public pressure and threat of federal intervention.

Posted by: Helena Handbasket ====== You cannot read and the judges/jury do not read provisions as separate and discrete in most applications. The citation above is a general requirement for using self defense at all. Thus the later numbered provision on property is still restricted by the general statute. There is a reason that lawyers are employed in such matters--you start with the whole statutory provisions on self defense and then look for the specific. If you have read statutory provisions--you will often see them begin with definitions first, then the general provisions, then the specifics. And then you add in the common law interpretations of those statutes in specific cases. So lawyers start with you spilling your guts about all facts prompted occasionally by questions, then they may pull up a reference or two (old style books, new style computer databases), and apply the law as they understand it to the facts in your case.

OneEyedJack,
------ You do know that Dick the Butcher is a villain in that play. "He is portrayed as a murderous thug who joins the rebellion not for ideological reasons but for the joy of anarchy, seeking to kill lawyers and have his way with women." Shakespeare is caricaturing the anarchy caused by Jack Cade and his rebellion. Same as Daniel Shays did in trying to close the courts in Western Mass or the Whiskey Rebellion sought to do.

Posted by: Archimedes at September 02, 2025 09:39 AM (Riz8t) In fairness to the Louvre, I imagine that doing so is a matter of keeping the peace. Now that everyone has a camera with them at all times (smartphones), documenting every tedious detail of their lives like OCD scrapbookers, you'd never be able to negotiate a high-traffic museum without some kind of policy discouraging this in place.

Posted by: Archimedes at September 02, 2025 09:39 AM (Riz8t) In fairness to the Louvre, I imagine that doing so is a matter of keeping the peace. Now that everyone has a camera with them at all times (smartphones), documenting every tedious detail of their lives like OCD scrapbookers, you'd never be able to negotiate a high-traffic museum without some kind of policy discouraging this in place. It sucks, but I can't figure out why people can't put their phone down for an hour or two and experience something, first-hand, without the "This sandwich simply must be on Facebook!" routine.

JackStraw mentioned the purported ongoing color ops in Europe as suggested by Mike Benz. I have pondered what they’ve been doing in this country.
Because there are a number of assumptions one has to make when looking at the larger picture. People en masse and individually react very predictably wen provoked, when outrageous things are perpetrated against them. (This is why the left so loved to call righteous indignation “reactionary” btw) What I’m getting at, they planned all this outrageous shit going on decades then of course they necessarily had a plan for a bunch of pissed off people. It’s the “dog that didn’t bark”. That’s where my crystal ball gets cloudy. I suppose broadly it revolves around excluding anyone not of the Uni-party from being admitted to the Club. No Grass roots allowed, anything like that must be co-opted and hijacked “and for other purposes”. See also: hippies, occupy, “black” lives matter, etc. But the end result is clear. A lop-sided total control of everything by leftist wackjobs. Normal folks, millions of them, no representation and don’t get anything. That did not happen by accident, that was engineered for decades. No way around it Posted by: Common Tater at September 02, 2025 09:55 AM (tE2Wy) 141

For some reason the word "camel" makes me think of Kraft caramels. The light-colored ones, not the dark ones.
All seriousness aside, this is a grim painting for sure. I'd guess this is supposed to be just at sunrise; the sunset would be much more blazing and orange (I guess, never having seen a Saharan sunset). We're looking east, then. Just the painter's choice of viewpoint. Nobody would try to drive east to west across the Sahara; I think it's as wide as the whole North American continent. The slave trade routes went from south to north, and even that was one hell of a trek. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at September 02, 2025 09:55 AM (omVj0) 144

Posted by: TheJamesMadison ======== This is a uniquely stupid ruling that even the 9th Circuit will stop. Commander in chief role and protection of federal facilities brook no judicial interference. In essence, the Resistance is trying to use judges to delay until a midterm delivers them from Trump is my guess. And that means all of these Resistance judges are likely communicating among themselves either directly or via activists in ex parte communications.

MEDIAite: Trump Considers Reopening 'Insane Asylums' in Crusade Against Crime. Trump made the suggestion in a Daily Caller interview with reporter Reagan Reese that dropped Monday.
Does anyone seriously use the term insane asylums? The reporter used it and of course if she's with the daily caller then that figures. With the advent of psych meds there is no longer a need for long term hospitalizations. Of course RFK jr wants to change all that. Reagan closed a lot of these facilities which did lead to highly mentally unstable people living in homelessness. Something like this probably is not all terrible, but I sure as fuck don’t trust this regime with it. No doubt, they will start with the chronic homeless, followed by trans, then liberal activists, etc. I've noticed Trump following up on a lot of his delusions. He just wants things back the way they used to be and doesn't ever consider new information or why things have changed Trump is like Reagan, constantly revisiting a halycon past that doesn't exist anymore.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib at the People’s Conference for Palestine At one of the most radical conferences in America, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib took the stage and lashed out at critics. “Every genocide enabler, look at this room motherfuckers — we ain’t going anywhere.” She then celebrated the expansion of the cause: “They are just growing and growing. We are bringing siblings from other movements with us.” That a sitting U.S. lawmaker is not just attending but cheering on a conference platforming terrorists, extremists, and open calls for revolt shows how deeply mainstream politics has been pulled into this radical space. - We're here.

Trump and Republicans are overreacting, and look at the data...reported crime, or conviction rates, or whatever curated stats they want to use are much lower today than in the 90s or 70s (whatever works better), so things are fine.

Leftist politics are almost 100% driven by the desire to get revenge on one's father.
Posted by: XTC I am sure that is true of AWFLs and possibly true of those of soy. But, as we need to remember, about half of the left's coalition are gimmedats--they don't give a flip about ideology--they want to get paid. That part of the coalition is both lazy and too busy destroying themselves via drugs, crime, etc. to care what others do. Hard core leftists are roughly about 20-25 percent of the population and centered around gubmint, ngo, etc. employment. Quite a bit of infiltration into the corporate world in non productive roles, particularly the tech industry. The tech industry, for whatever reason, is one of the power centers of the troon phenomenon and that is partially why sci fi is unreadable nowadays.

Le Sahara, Gustave Guillaumet
www musee-orsay fr/ Gustave Guillaumet (1840 - 1887) In part, "An eye-catcher at the Salon of 1868, this work by Guillaumet makes a break with Orientalist paintings of the time. Whereas many of his contemporaries gave a deliberately idealised or anecdotal picture of North Africa, here we have a poignant vision, which focuses on the essential. "Never has the infinite nature of the desert been painted in a simpler, more grandiose and more moving way," was Théophile Gautier's comment. The harshness of the landscape, the feeling of solitude and desolation are heightened by the division of the painting into wide horizontal bands, the implacable monotony broken only by the presence of men and animals in the distance. From the skeleton in the foreground, frozen in cool tones, we slide imperceptibly towards the glow surrounding the improbable caravan looming on the horizon. With a remarkable economy of means, a subtle graduation of planes which mingles the dusty stretch of the vast plain with the hazy sky, Guillaumet manages to capture the quintessence of the desert." -- Where Hillary would like to house our butts. 😉 -- Wouldn't hang but it's fascinating.

I've never been in the military, but even I know that you give troops stuff to do even when there's nothing to do in order to maintain discipline.
True, and soldiers are used to it, but they don't want to be activated and pulled up from their normal civilian lives to do yard work. Occasionally to stay busy, sure, but if it's a regular occurrence, it indicates they have too many troops for the mission OR aren't being used appropriately.

Alternate Title: Burning Man.
Posted by: Thing From Snowy Mountain at September 02, 2025 11:46 AM (Nlama) The Morning Report — 9/2/25![]() Right-wing parties are simultaneously leading polls across Europe’s biggest economies in a first for the continent’s nationalist and populist movements. In France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, known together as Europe’s “Big Three,” right-wing parties have surged in popularity on angst over lax immigration policies and high inflation, according to The Wall Street Journal. . . In France, citizens have reacted against the country’s growing Muslim population which many see as a threat to French values. The slogan “Let’s block everything” has grown popular on social media in France in reaction to unsustainable spending, in part on immigration that has little direct benefit for French citizens, that has led to austerity measures. In Germany and the United Kingdom, both countries have experienced record waves of immigration in recent years. Germany’s foreign-born population has surged from 15% of its total population in 2017 to 22% last year. The United Kingdom has seen raw immigration numbers comparable to the surge that swamped the United States immigration system under Biden within the same time frame. Unlike the United States, however, the United Kingdom’s population is about a fifth the size of the United States’.In England though (as well as France), the mass wave of migration legal and otherwise is not a recent phenomenon. This has been going on at least since the end of the Second World War as former African and Middle Eastern and South Asian colonies gained independence and millions of residents migrated to the home countries of their former colonial overlords. It took a few generations, but the perfect storm of Leftist/Socialist/Woke ideological self-hatred and Islam's millennium-and-a-half quest for global domination is wreaking havoc in the West. At long last, there appears to be a backlash, which the elites in the EU and elsewhere cannot abide and are lashing out in response: A top Labour parliamentarian has accused those involved in the anti-mass migration campaign to raise the England flag in England of being “extremists”. Member of Parliament for Norwich South Clive Lewis has claimed that the so-called “far-right” are behind the patriotic “raise the colours” campaign of hanging England’s St George’s cross flag and the Union Jack in his constituency after flags were raised outside of a migrant hotel in Bowthorpe last week. Speaking to the local Eastern Daily Press, the Caribbean-heritage MP said that while “some” may be flying the flag out of national pride, he claimed that “far‑right groups are using these flags to mark territory and intimidate the vast majority who reject their extreme views.” If the Union Jack and George's Cross are signs symbols of hatred, what does this Clive Lewis cancer think of Muslim Rape gangs that have been rampaging all across Blightly for years? Maybe he'd be happy if Britons waving the flag put the flags down and instead carried meat cleavers into Muslim neighborhoods and give the Muslims a taste of their own culture by re-enacting what two of them did to an off duty British Fusilier named Lee Rigby back in 2013 Meh, the European politicians better pray that their constituents don't march on their houses of parliament and do unto them what was done to Lee Rigby. Perhaps that brave Scottish girl might be an incarnation of Boudicca herself. Over on this side of the Pond, it's a toss-up as to what's the greater threat, open borders and mass legal immigration of Muslims and other cultures antithetical to American/western values who refuse to assimilate and indeed are intentionally or otherwise threatening to swamp/subsume our culture, OR our own indigenous Leftists whose 200-plus year drive for absolute power has resulted in all of the suffering, bloodshed, dislocation and wastage of money, life and human potential. And open borders is not necessarily a stand-alone issue but one of their biggest weapons to achieve their aims in our destruction and/or enslavement. “It is clear that the teachers unions’ priorities are advancing far-left politics and radical social justice issues, not the education of children,” Defending Ed researcher Rhyen Staley told the outlet. “This is a slap in the face to families and teachers who want to focus on helping students improve their reading and math skills. It is time that Congress acts to stop this obscene redistribution of public monies to advance left-wing identity politics.”And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar.

---- Stick a fork in 'em. They're done. Once a Muslim immigrant population reaches critical mass, there's no going back.

Some hysterical lunatic (a music journalist, just so's you know) said that dropping the bombs was "genocide" and his ignorant, America-hating, Eurotrash readers commented their agreement. I've been banned there (for calling the BBC a state-run pedo-protecting racket) but were I to descend to drop a word, it would have said: A) The Potsdam Declaration (Paragraph 10) clearly said, "We do not intend that the Japanese shall be enslaved as a race or destroyed as a nation, but stern justice shall be meted out to all war criminals, including those who have visited cruelties upon our prisoners. The Japanese Government shall remove all obstacles to the revival and strengthening of democratic tendencies among the Japanese people. Freedom of speech, of religion, and of thought, as well as respect for the fundamental human rights shall be established." Does that sound genocidal? B) What happened when the Japanese surrendered? Did we continue to bomb them? No. Did we have mass shootings when we occupied the country? No. Did we put the Emperor on trial? No. Did we take hostages? No. Did we force the Japanese out of the country? No. Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at September 02, 2025 07:43 AM (kkTda) 24

Everyone in the cast has their own opinion, which is different from her opinion, which makes it impossible.
If everyone in the cast differs with Rowling then they don't have "their own opinion". They have, or profess to have, the mandated leftwing position.

A more plausible plan, as outlined in a seven part series at the website Gates of Vienna, would be to use hunting rifles to singly hit lone invaders in rural areas. Shoot and scoot. A blockade of isolated cities overrun by invaders was also mentioned. Only handguns were confiscated after the Dunblane Massacre. Posted by: NaCly Dog at September 02, 2025 08:20 AM (u82oZ) 84

Takes political will. For example, task the Royal Navy to stop invasions from France. This isolates the invaders in country, and precludes reinforcements. Then defeat in detail the remaining enclaves, with supply lines cut. Move invaders to Cyprus or someplace else, for further transfer. Posted by: NaCly Dog at September 02, 2025 08:26 AM (u82oZ) 94

>>Until a major country in Europe gets its own version of a Trump, this won't stop.
It will be difficult because of all the election rigging, censorship and fascist tactics from the left but we accomplished it here. Trump was the result of Americans having enough of leftwing criminality and lunacy. He didn't create the feeling, he simply harnessed it. Mike Benz claims that the CIA along with a host of NGOs, the Atlantic Council and other bad actors has been running a form of a color revolution in Europe for years targeting "far right nationalist" candidates. He has a pretty good track record when it comes to these things and it does help explain some of what has been happening over there. Posted by: JackStraw at September 02, 2025 08:28 AM (viF8m) 98

Sometimes I think back to 2015 and 2016, when the corporate globalist shills of ConInc were grasping at one thin reed after another... first Jeb!, then Cruz, and finally just pulling for Hillary Clinton at the end.
But there was a brief, hilarious moment that lasted a couple of months, in the true depths of their despair, where the sad, flaccid cucks of HotAir had found their white knight on his rampant steed. This statesman would stand athwart the Orangeman and end his ambitions once and for all! And that man was... David Freakin' French. Every time I think of this, I can't help but laugh at it.

I been talking about this, here and other blogs, for the last couple years. Hundreds of units being built in Fredericksburg, TX, for what? For who? Who's is going to rent these places? There are no jobs in Fredericksburg, and the nearest large (20k+) town, Kerrville, is 30 min away. There is no industry in FBurg, no real employment opportunities, so again, who do they expect to rent and live in these brand new units? Odder still are the many multiple units being built in Johnson City (about 30 mi east of Fburg) very small town and nearby mostly vineyards, orchards, farms n such, and I'm pretty sure all these jobs are taken. Again, who do they expect to rent and live there?!?!? Blows my mind, and every time I bring it up, folks just shrug... Posted by: 3X12ax7 at September 02, 2025 08:30 AM (IkhKe) 102

Tony Blair was similar to Bill Clinton as they both led the workingman's party but pushed policies to their detriment. Tony and Bill were both born outsiders, but burrowed their way into the establishment.
"The period from 1997 to 2010 under Tony Blair marked an ambitious era in the Labour Party’s approach to immigration. Blair’s government introduced changes aimed at capitalising on the benefits of globalisation and enhancing the UK’s economic prospects. The policies were seen as pivotal in redefining the nation’s demographic and economic landscape, facilitating a considerable increase in migration." They sold these policies with the idea that the migrants would all be job-creating entrepreneurs with PhDs. If you didn't agree you were called a racist.

One has to acknowledge that the societal ills in Europe, the UK and here are pretty much self inflicted.
The hordes didn't start rampaging, demanding free shit, sharia law or whatever until they were permitted into the country(s) and then elevated in status. Other than money, I've no idea what motivated people, politicians to do this. Guilt? I think the "balance" has shifted and it would be wise to take advantage of it and, if possible, put an end to the policies (and politicians) that brought it on.

The idea of Britain and Great Britain (which adds Ireland), as opposed to England, goes back to when Scotland was annexed in the early 1700s. It's an after-the-fact construct to wipe away national identities.
Britain continues to have a rigid old-school class structure that was washed away in its Continental neighbors by war and revolution. The English Uppers lord it over the descendants of the Originals who were first men Celts and Anglo-Saxons. For centuries the Uppers have used the Crown as stagecraft to justify their rule. I learned this from Robin Hood. Britain owes its charm and creativity to the legacy of the Originals. Without them, I look at Great Britain as being like Germany: arrogant and humorless. Not content with what they had, the Uppers have let in a foreign invader. How do you think that will play out? If this reminds you of Game of Thrones, where do think George R.R. Martin got his inspiration. Posted by: Ignoramus at September 02, 2025 08:35 AM (dtajH) 110

Every single EU government will find a way to outlaw and arrest politicians/political parties who are President Trump adjacent. They'll all claim to be doing so in the name of preventing the rise of another Hitler, while ignoring the fact Hitler, after he gained power, outlawed opposition parties. Not that anyone, once Hitler gained power, dared oppose him, as opposition tended to lethal.

USA Today: President Trump demands drugmakers 'justify their success' with COVID vaccines..."Many people think they are a miracle that saved Millions of lives. Others disagree!" Trump said of COVID drugs..."with CDC being ripped apart over this question, I want the answer, and I want it NOW."
Fully vaccinated, haven't had Covid, haven't died. Before the vaccinations, I know of 21 people who died of Covid. After the vaccinations, no one I know or know of died of Covid. There were people I know or know of, who got Covid in spite of being vaccinated, but weren't hospitalized and didn't die. "Science is TOO WOKE." The Lunatics are now indeed in charge of the asylum. Unlike pretending Covid isn't a deadly disease or doesn't exist, thinking that drinking bleach or shoving a flashlight up your can, vaccines work. Science works. The flabby freak knows the efficacy of the vaccines: he received one after he recovered from the plague. Even Trump admits he's seen "extraordinary" information from Pfizer, so why not just release what he knows and quell the madness?

On August 5, Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston decreed a $25,000 fine for anyone walking in the woods or otherwise violating a new prohibition that covered both government and private lands. The prohibition will continue until October. Houston declared, “Most wildfires are caused by human activity, so to reduce the risk, we’re keeping people out of the woods until conditions improve. I’m asking everyone to do the right thing—don’t light that campfire, stay out of the woods and protect our people and communities.” Canadian politicians are exploiting wildfires the same way that former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau exploited COVID to lockdown the entire nation.

Menton begins with some background on the New York State court system [Emphasis added]:
Unlike federal judges, New York State judges do not have life tenure. Justices of the Appellate Division have been elected to the Supreme Court for terms lasting fourteen years, and then at some point during those fourteen years they have been appointed by the Governor to the appellate court for a term that expires when their elected term is up. To continue to serve on the Appellate Division at that point, a judge needs to get re-nominated by his county party organization, run in a partisan election, win, and then get re-named by the Governor to the Appellate Division. Thus, judges whose term may be up soon, and who are not ready to retire and who like to keep their job, are very much subject to political influence in their decisions. Political influence is not relevant to very many of their decisions, but it is highly relevant in this case. Moulton’s term ends in 2027 and Renwick’s in 2029. Higgitt and Rosado, the two judges who pushed for a new trial, face expiration of their terms in 2026 and 2028. Menton pointedly invites readers to “form [their] own judgment.” Posted by: SMOD at September 02, 2025 09:14 AM (RHGPo) 208

-- The first words out of the mouths of any Trump cabinet members or spokespeople being interviewed by the networks as soon as the camera rolls should be, "please visit the WH.gov website for the full interview." Or some such method to prevent these b*stards from leaving out or misrepresenting the interviewee.

I really think that all the efforts going on to recenter the country that seems to be gaining momentum are ultimately going to fail.
There are two institutions that must be broken to permanently level the playing field and those are: 1) The teachers unions 2) The government employees unions. If we can establish the will to dismantle these two (there are more of course) entities , the USA would have a chance to maintain it greatness.

The Lending Scheme That Gave Rise To Colony Ridge Is Happening All Across America
This is a massive problem that needs to be addressed asap. Should be easy to do a search for everyone in the USA using an ITIN and then using that list to deport all the illegal aliens. While it may take congressional action to truly confront the industry, increased enforcement could prompt ITIN lenders to reassess the risk profile of their financial strategies. The Department of Homeland Security and the IRS signed an agreement allowing the federal law enforcement agency to receive information on taxpayers who are believed to be illegal aliens. If illegal aliens know that filing for an ITIN might get their name and identifying information lodged in an ICE database, they may be much less eager to hand over their information to the federal government.

Trump Demands Answers from Drug Companies on Effectiveness of COVID Treatments
These real vaccine deniers ignored the increase in heart and cancer rates as well as the studies showing people who got the vax likely to have subsequently contracted COVID at a higher rate than the non-vaxxed. Posted by: polynikes at September 02, 2025 09:11 AM Yep. I hope all this data is exposed and President Trump and those in his administration get this information out to the public and highlight it so everyone know the facts. Most of us who read/comment here have known about this for years, but much of the general public is still ignorant. In addition, the FDA needs to change the definition of vaccination back to what it was before Sept 2021, when it was changed specifically for the COVID shot. It was changed from "produces immunity" to "produces protection", since none of the COVID shots produce immunity from SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19.

China's Xi hosts Putin, North Korea's Kim in challenge to West
CRINK refers to the grouping of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea and the growing anti-Western collaboration between the nations, beginning in the early 2020s. It has also been called the "The Axis of Upheaval", "axis of autocracies", "quartet of chaos", or the "deadly quartet". The loose alliance generally represented itself in diplomatic addresses and public statements as an "anti-hegemony" and "anti-imperialist" coalition with intentions to challenge what it deemed to be a Western-dominated global order to reshape international relations into a multipolar order according to their shared interests. While not a formal bloc, these nations have increasingly coordinated their economic, military, and diplomatic efforts, making strong efforts to aid each other to undermine Western influence.

Once a Muslim immigrant population reaches critical mass, there's no going back. They are outbreeding the natives like crazy and they have the backing of their government overlords. Eventually, they will become the overlords once they are "elected" to power. At that point, Germany as we've known it will be gone.
Posted by: "Perfessor" Squirrel at September 02, 2025 07:39 AM Yep, England/UK has already experienced this. They have been conquered for years now, and many are only now beginning to realize it. Muslims have taken over leadership positions of almost every large city in the UK. This will not be overcome simply by putting up flags. Short of winning a civil war and deporting every last Muslim from the UK, they are on the road to being permanently conquered and turned into a Muslim nation.

Michigan’s SOS Jocelyn Benson Gives Green Light To ONLINE VOTING With NO Legislative Approval
Posted by: SMOD at September 02, 2025 10:04 AM Looked this up on Grok: The claim that Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson approved online voting without legislative approval stems from a controversial announcement on August 22, 2024, regarding voting procedures for Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA) voters. According to a report by The Gateway Pundit, Benson issued a memo allowing both military and non-military overseas voters to vote online, which critics argue lacks legislative authorization and could compromise election integrity. The report cites the Michigan Elections Manual (July 2024), which states UOCAVA ballots must be returned by mail, suggesting Benson’s directive contradicts existing law. A lawsuit filed by the Michigan GOP and RNC on October 9, 2024, challenges this, asserting that only Michigan residents should vote and that Benson’s unilateral action violates the state constitution.

Posted by: runner at September 02, 2025 09:15 AM Grok: https://bit.ly/4p2MRGf Representative Ilhan Omar's reported net worth of up to $30 million, as disclosed in her 2024 financial filing, stems primarily from the dramatic increase in the value of her husband Tim Mynett’s business ventures. Here’s a breakdown of the key factors based on available information: Tim Mynett’s Businesses: The surge in Omar’s net worth is largely attributed to two companies owned by Mynett: eStCru LLC, a California-based winery, was valued at $15,001 to $50,000 in 2023 but jumped to between $1 million and $5 million in 2024. Omar reported earning $5,001 to $15,000 in direct income from this partnership. Rose Lake Capital LLC, a Washington, DC-based venture capital firm, saw its assets increase from less than $1,000 in 2023 to between $5 million and $25 million in 2024. The firm claims to manage $60 billion in assets and specializes in areas like structuring legislation, with a global network across business, politics, and diplomacy.

Good morning, one and all. On the topic of AI answering the phones, I shall direct my ire at CVS. I just needed a refill on my dog's medication. After jumping through all the hoops, the helpful bot says it can't find my order. I dutifully rattle off the number on the bottle. Nope. Can't find it.
Go to the website. It has now decided it doesn't like Brave any more. Fine. I use Microsoft Edge. Oh look! The prescription I was looking for in the first place.

Evening, late toilers. Morning, insomaniacals. I too am awake about an hour before I should be, and this time I *can* blame not getting back to sleep on the cats. Little Dagny was stretched next to me (!), and Stirling came stalking across and pounced on her. They went rolling and scrambling away with me muttering, "Cut it out!" After about ten minutes trying to drift back off, I gave it up as a bad job.
Coffee now, coffee in a few more minutes too. A simple philosophy at this hour . . . but mine own. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at September 02, 2025 05:19 AM (omVj0) Posted by: OkJohn at September 02, 2025 05:20 AM (NC/it) 44
Holy cow, is that Fourth Circuit decision bad. Cox is entirely right and the decision should be overturned: if the decision is allowed to stand (where an ISP is liable for bad behavior of its customers after simply being told, without proof, "Hey, this customer is doing something illegal"), then ISPs are going to refuse Internet access to anywhere that serves the public. Cafes, hotels, libraries... are suddenly going to have trouble getting anyone to give them Internet access, because everyone will be scared of getting slapped with a lawsuit for what J. Random Library Patron did online.
I'm glad the Supreme Court is taking the case, and I hope they overturn it HARD. Posted by: Robin Munn at September 02, 2025 05:21 AM (XAlNs) 45

I have no recall of any dreams from last night. Probably a mercy all around.
It's 75 F. at 4:20 am, which is amazing considering the 83-85 we saw overnight (!) for the last few months (and that was just the temp, never mind the heat index). I should go walk this morning. I really should. Yesterday I did some research on hotels in Birmingham and Evansville. They look good. What I wonder is, if I wake up at 4 am in a hotel room, how am I gonna occupy myself? I can chat with all of you, and if there is an exercise room I can use the treadmill et al. And if the room has a coffeemaker, microwave, and/or kitchenette, I can make breakfast. I need to be sure my hotels have those things, huh? Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at September 02, 2025 05:27 AM (omVj0) 47

Posted by: Mary Poppins' Practically Perfect Piercing (aka Eloquent Depression) at September 02, 2025 *** I've never used AI for that on mine, but seeing what other writers have done with something I plan is usually very helpful. No, I'm not talking plagiarism, simply an evaluation of technique. As for research into something I know nothing about: The *usual* advice is to write what you know. Dean Koontz, however, advised, "Write what you know -- or what you are prepared to learn about." Otherwise only cops could write cop stories, only doctors medical stories, and we'd have no tales of interstellar exploration at all. The 'Net makes it much easier to research enough for a short story. And then there are libraries for deeper fact-diving for longer works.

Posted by: From about That Time at September 02, 2025 08:37 AM (n4GiU) Monday Overnight Open Thread - September 1, 2025 [Doof]![]() What Is This Holiday Anyway? History of Labor Day Observed the first Monday in September, Labor Day is an annual celebration of the social and economic achievements of American workers. The holiday is rooted in the late nineteenth century, when labor activists pushed for a federal holiday to recognize the many contributions workers have made to America’s strength, prosperity, and well-being.McGuire v. Maguire: Who Founded Labor Day? ![]() Who first proposed the holiday for workers? It’s not entirely clear, but two workers can make a solid claim to the Founder of Labor Day title. Some records show that in 1882, Peter J. McGuire, general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners and a co-founder of the American Federation of Labor, suggested setting aside a day for a "general holiday for the laboring classes" to honor those "who from rude nature have delved and carved all the grandeur we behold." But Peter McGuire's place in Labor Day history has not gone unchallenged. Many believe that machinist Matthew Maguire, not Peter McGuire, founded the holiday. Recent research seems to support the contention that Matthew Maguire, later the secretary of Local 344 of the International Association of Machinists in Paterson, New Jersey, proposed the holiday in 1882 while serving as secretary of the Central Labor Union in New York. According to the New Jersey Historical Society, after President Cleveland signed the law creating a national Labor Day, the Paterson Morning Call published an opinion piece stating that "the souvenir pen should go to Alderman Matthew Maguire of this city, who is the undisputed author of Labor Day as a holiday." Both Maguire and McGuire attended the country’s first Labor Day parade in New York City that year.Read more at the link No single job suits all of us, but many of the best ones have a few attributes in common: They pay well, challenge us year after year, match our talents and skills, aren't too stressful, offer room to advance throughout our careers, and provide a satisfying work-life balance.

In the 90's the nursing director of the med center asked a few of us RN's with BSN if we were interested in a master's degree. They'd pay and you had to work a certain amt of years.
I had two toddlers and said no, thank you, as it would have meant a two hour commute twice a week and my husband was often out of town. Plus studying while chimps slept. I needed some peace and quiet during those precious hours. I figured I was crazy enough, thanks, juggling what I had and only worked Saturday's. Then weekends. Then part time once they got into elementary school. The others in the group all became ARNP's or directors of floors in two years. No regrets. I mean, who would want to pass up your baby son giving the fish a floride treatment as the aquarium was in their bathroom? Or cutting his hair (blonde curls) off and stuffing them in his shoe?

The worst jobs I ever had in college were these two. I lasted about 2wks in each:
1) Cleaning out test tubes...I guess rat brains. Some sort of neurology lab with white mice and electrodes on their shaved heads. I would be the only human, I think, in the building in late afternoons. I was ripe for a serial killer. And a real one was nearby. 2) Same university: dragging a film projector around to show films in classes. Not bad and I got to watch a film and see boys who never asked me out. Then one stormy day (making that part up), a film started burning in the projector and the film then shot around until I did emergent measures. I unplugged it and wheeled it out of class to the film dept without saying a word to anyone. Like it was a normal day. No one taught me how to splice and I had enough. Finally I was called the next semester to work in the university health clinic. Now we were onto something that might help my degree! Life got a lot better!

Most psychiatrists nowadays do not do counseling and therapy. They only do 15-minute sessions for medication prescriptions after the most basic verbal 'how are you feeling' assessments.
Psychologists now do the bulk of one-hour talk therapy sessions. Because medical insurance wants to cut costs - not pay the freight for hourly sessions with much more expensive MD psychiatrists. Posted by: Gref at September 01, 2025 10:41 PM (aBgBM) 121

Used to work in a boat yard that repaired and built barges. The damaged barges would be brought up and they'd sink in the creek until they were ready to work on them. The barges would be pumped out and brought onto a drydock when they were ready . A hole would be cut in the bottom of the barge to drain the water that remained onto the drydock. Before that we'd have to climb into the holds and use buckets to clear out eels and cat fish , bullheads, because if they were there when the water was drained they'd die and the smell would be so bad you couldn't work.

Bad, nasty, and thankless jobs serve their purpose. After working railroad track demolition for Amtrak a couple summers for college money I was motivated to pursue a career in something that didn't include 4:30 am daily commutes, 120 degree working conditions, tossing 75 lb railroad ties, and creosote burns up and down my arms. On a positive note, the prison work release guys were entertaining as hell. They used to set off fire crackers every time the fat ass Union guys showed up just to watch them dive for cover.

She has other cats, but they are older and are used to spending time outside, they won't go in just for me, so I feed them outside at her place. I hope they are OK.

I thought I'd see more of the engineering fields, especially the core, classic fields of chemical and civil, along with electrical and mechanical which were on the list. I graduated with a lowly B.S, in Materials Engineering specializing in Metallic Materials. I was never without a job except for six weeks in 1982, and made what I think was pretty exceptional money.
As a career field, engineering in general doesn't get its due from the media or culture. Working in manufacturing, I at times felt like a Dr making rounds in a hospital as I addressed various issues on the floor. Over the years I saw plenty of a-hole managers - MBAs and HR Karen's were the worst until the DEI crowd showed up. But but but I had the pleasure of seeing some of them go down in flames, including being in the room ( cowering under my desk) when Security came and frog-marched one insidious crazy jerk manager off the premises... All in all it was a good life and I miss it still.

Photograph: This iconic photograph captures construction workers during the building of the Empire State Building in New York City.
The image, often misidentified as "Lunch atop a Skyscraper," depicts ironworkers guiding a steel beam into place, not eating lunch. The photograph was taken by Lewis Hine in 1931, during the construction of the Empire State Building. It symbolizes the spirit of American industry and the daring of the workers who built the city's towering landmarks. Btw, "OSHA, our savior has arrived!" was what was yelled as a greeting at some scum bag worksites, sometimes by management but sometimes by union reps. Depended who was winning on a particular day.

Truck battery comes from Auto Zone. They are good about customer service and well, they last longer than the warranty.
Interstate batteries are good but don't last that much longer than AutoZone batts. Years ago it was Die Hards but that's long gone. Bat form the lawn tractor is close to 50 from Walmart. The perfect size costs more but a larger, more common one with more CCA is cheaper. I turn it around so the poles are in the right place and squeeze it in.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at September 02, 2025 01:36 AM (os5gg) I get about 5 years out of harley battery. I keep them on trickle chargers over the winter. The main thing with the harley is to fully charge a new battery before you put it in. The charging system is good, they usually charge at 13.5 volts, but for some reason if the battery isn't fully charged they die fast. They just never charge to where they need to be. If you charge them up first, there's never a problem. People come in with dead new batteries a good amount of time and its always the same. I ask if they charged it first. Oh no, they told at the store it was charged. No, no, they are never charged. Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at September 02, 2025 01:42 AM (snZF9) 249

The antelope in the verse is the antelope jackrabbit, the largest rabbit in the Western Hemisphere.

During the "interview" I told him my background, which was way more technical than his own, which he was happy about. Then he asked if I would think about cutting my hair because "it might be scary" to some of the customers. I said flat out, its harleys, not a poodle wash, and if your customers are scared by my hair I don't want to work on those undeserving homo's bikes anyway, so count me out.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at September 02, 2025 01:44 AM (os5gg) The really old ones, like from the 1920s or 30s had ammeters. Eventually they went away and you just had an idiot light. Usually that was bikes with generators. When they went to alternators the bikes had nothing, no gauge or idiot light. The big touring bikes eventually started getting volt meters.

I was driving thru the northern Nevada desert one night and the jackrabbits were so thick and large I thought we had an alien invasion. I didn't want to hit them in my vehicle because it would have been totalled and I'd be stranded in no-man's land.

In graduate school, I taught two sections of physics for nursing students: there was a lot of emphasis on linear fluid flow, Bernoulli’s principle, conservation of energy applied to fluids, etc. I had one section in the morning and the other in the afternoon. One was a delight to teach; the other was a bear! I found afterwards that a “queen bee” type in one class had poisoned the attitudes of her fellow students (all women) because I had long hair and looked “unprofessional”. This was in the student evaluations at the end of term. Of course I read them after both classes were over. Frankly, at the time, I looked like I could have been in ZZ Top. But I had no problems with that other class. I kept my long hair until I was out of grad school with my doctorate and looking for a job. I cut my hair short, and trimmed my beard and mustache (you can have a beard in academia, nobody cares). I did wind up with an NRL postdoc, but I’m not sure the trim appearance was make or break for it. The NRL postdoc and the work I did for the Navy did lead to a tenure-track job at my university, so I’m not complaining.

Mines pretty frigging long. The chick who cuts it is a riot. She'll look at it and say yeah not dude enough, too neat. I watch her technique. She gets it all even using a series of moves I can't explain, then holds it so the ends are pointing up, then she stabs down at it with her scissors to roughen the cut. I don't even ask, I just pay her. lol

One thing even the Commies recognized, you can’t pay people not to work. They were profoundly stupid in a lot of ways, but not that dumb.
You’d get a letter. “Report to the Glorious Widget Factory #37” and …. it wasn’t optional. Maybe if you had connections you could get a better gig somewhere. They did have a saying “We pretend to work, and they pretend to pay us”; and they had chronic shortages of everything. The shit they did have often sucked, etc. Everyone had a side gig.

I have had elk in a herd of over a hundred more than once, circling the house, so close they left their (ahem) traces in the gardens and the terrace. A herd of them is powerful, but one by one they are homely, with patchy hair. They're clumsy. Their racks are very different from this elegant beast.

I was in Romania about 15 years ago, obviously long after the Soviet occupation. One of the things that doesn't get talked about enough is the devastation that communism leaves behind long after it's gone. Many older Romanian citizens had no idea how to go about living in a free state. They had every bit of their lives controlled by government they just had no clue how to go about making a living or just living without being told what to do. And they were still afraid. My customer took me to a cafe that was located on the grounds of one of Ceaușescu old mansions. He spent the first few minutes after we sat down scanning the room. I asked him what he was looking for and he said cameras and microphones. Posted by: JackStraw at September 01, 2025 08:26 PM (viF8m) 108

We had our first trip to Jackson Hole and Tetons when our boys were in HS in FL. I was used to the West and snow, but, I think Montana is the coldest place, and I have been a few times since.But this one was like landing on Mars.
Anyway, the Delta pilot landed the 757 on a snow packed tarmac and we skidded some. It would not have mattered, I don't think, if it went off the runway as the snow was very, very deep that year. A record snow pack. I don't get rattled ever in a plane due to a wild flight in the early 80's after rolling both ways and the body of the plane dropping thouands of feet (before cell phones and attention. We all said a collective woo! as everything fell out of the bins and food went everywhere. One guy injured. The pilot got applause when we landed). Anyway, I said, "Quite a landing!" A pilot across the aisle from me said it was actually a good one! All the roads were packed hard snow. Super cold and I got new boots.

England and America aren't lost. England might be further along the path to being lost than we are. But enough people can still get through their day without too much bullshit, especially if they aren't terminally online.
But.... England is rapidly reaching the point where that isn't true anymore, though. And so they are getting rowdy about it. It's that tipping point where the corrupt mutants and perverts in power have pissed off enough people that it matters.... America is still pretty far from that. Most of Europe is getting uncomfortably close. This is why revolutions aren't done On The Cheap. It's why Cloward Piven was always a lie. The whole "boil the frog slowly" thing is a myth. Revolutions happen around an artificial crisis point, crafted around a real crisis point, with planning done ahead of time. They have been making their own crisis point for years now, forgetting that the point of ruining a society is to revolt and create a new society, not to rule over absurd ruins.

Holy crap... after the first 40 or 50 pages (seemingly) I just started flipping multiple pages. "Jayzus!!! He's still yammering!" That was the most far-fetched part of the entire book -- that Galt could break in on all radio broadcasts and people would actually sit there and listen to it.

Feed a wild animal now, and it will feed you with reindeer burgers this winter.
Posted by: t-bird at September 01, 2025 08:31 PM A true story that I have told here before. Mumble years ago when Mrs928 and I were first married, we lived on Lake Murray in SC. There was a guy that fed the wild geese and ducks. He fed them so often that they would come up in his yard for the tossed feed. Over the course of the year he would feed them from closer and closer to his house, eventually even into his garage. One day, after leading the large flock indoors, he shut the door. None of the creatures were ever seen again. The horrors that must have happened in there are the stuff of avian nightmares. Posted by: toby928 at September 01, 2025 10:05 PM (jc0TO) 286

The winter my husband was in hospice, I drove to and from with a shovel in the back seat just in case. Posted by: Wenda at September 01, 2025 10:04 PM (utsBX) Nothing was plowed in Jackson that winter. We got used to it. Now we live in the Intermountain West and I love snow! Our roads are mostly plowed. I no longer ski, nor does my husband, but sons are ski lunatics. Now our grands ski, too. They are on skis age 2yrs with a harness. Had one of my boyfriends put a harness on me in college it would have helped a lot vs bringing me (from the South) up to blue slopes and giving me worthless snow plow lessons. It took a professional as an adult to teach me vs these nuts. I was way too poor in college to pay for lessons or skis. I like cross country better. The peace. The wine, etc. Now resorts are super crowded except on weekends. Where did all these people come from? Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at September 01, 2025 10:19 PM (6PCLE) 291

Pete Bog, if you like seafood and have flexibility on your dining, Mitch’s down at the sport fishing harbor. Worth a wait if there is one, don’t bail out to Pt Loma Seafoods 50 yards away (that’s fine too , but Mitch’s better). Finally getting some summer heat but it’s rarely actually hot down there, have a brew at Eppig just a short walk away, only craft place right on the water.

Just got back from a rare trip to the movie theater. We saw the new Fantastic Four movie. Kiddo wanted to see it, and I acquiesced. I think Critical Drinker's review sums it up best; it's not a great movie, but it's mostly watchable unlike the recent spate of other Marvel movies. I did like the retro vibe with the set design, props, and graphics. They didn't do the "girl boss" thing; Sue Richards is powerful enough to take on Galactus but it's a fight, and she's trying to save her child. Sorta like Ellen Ripley taking on an entire hive of xenomorphs; having a character go full mama-bear is OK.

A former U.S. Postal Inspector, Scott Kelley, 51, of Pembroke, Massachusetts, was arrested and indicted today on a 45-count indictment, charging him with allegedly stealing over $330,000 in cash from packages sent by elderly victims. Kelley is also accused of laundering the stolen money, failing to report it to the IRS, and even stealing from an evidence locker before framing a subordinate.
Kelley, who served as a Team Leader for the Mail Fraud Unit—the very unit responsible for investigating scams targeting senior citizens—allegedly used his position to intercept packages mailed by victims of a Jamaican telemarketing scheme. The scheme, known as Jamaican Operations Linked to Telemarketing (JOLT), involved scammers posing as lottery representatives and persuading elderly individuals to mail cash for bogus "fees" or "taxes" to claim nonexistent prizes.

My brother had a dog named Bella (Shar Pei - Lab mix) awhile back.
One summer evening, the little dog next door was let out in the neighbors yard, and immediately started yapping through the chain link gate between the two yards. Bella couldn't resist. She darted off the back porch and ran wide open on target until THUNK!, she ran right into the metal pole on the fence with her face. Embedded one of her bottom teeth so far into her upper lip they had to take her to the Pet ER to get it out. They had no choice, she couldn't drink or eat with her mouth welded shut. She never did that again.

Goldens are simply the best. Yes, I am biased after 3 of these lovely dogs.
Our Shelby came into our lives when he was 8wks old. From a breeder in FL, who bred champion show dogs. His grandfather was a cover dog for Dog Fancy. Gorgeous cream British Golden. His mane would drag the floor, similar to Murphy's. We'd been looking for dogs to replace our insane Airedale at shelters. Our youngest son did not like any of them. I finally asked what he wanted to ease his agony (he found Max the crazy Airedale after he died suddenly). He wanted a Golden. The breeder had one they were not keeping (altho I think regretted it a year later for his hip check, as he was far more beautiful than his sisters). He had the love of water bred out of him somehow and hated our swimming pool. Would walk back and forth with me when I swam laps. When I'd get out and read on a ledge, he would lick my head and declare he saved me. Sweetest guy on earth. Never hurt anyone or anything in the house. They are so gentle. He had a pool screen squirrel buddy who grieved as much as we did when Shelby died (possibly from a stroke, age 13yrs). He died happy as the vet gave him treats.I smiled through tears.

I golfed with a couple of guys who were pro soccer players. Played for DC United. No, I don't recall their names. Young dudes and friendly.
I've seen Colin Powell close enough to notice he's really tall. I was just a minion so he didn't notice me at all. At a golf tournament a few years ago, I was a couple of feet away from both Jason Day and Jordan Spieth. Both sent golf balls into the woods, right near where I was standing. That's about all I can recall.

#67 makes me think I should again mention that early 90s at Cafe du Monde they sat me right next to a table where James Spader was shooting a scene for the movie Storyville. Just outside the shot. They had to keep re-shooting the scene because Spader takes a bite of a beignet at the beginning, and he kept sneezing from powdered sugar (common occurrence there).
Finally one of the young Vietnamese-American waiters (they all were, at that point) sprayed some water on the beignets, appearance didn't change, but Spader didn't sneeze. They were still doing takes when I left for my flight, dunno if scene made it into the movie. Posted by: rhomboid at September 01, 2025 05:30 PM (U/Byj) 79

Several days ago, Snoop posted that his grandson didn't care for Disney's Lightyear because of the lezbo relationship. Of course, such anti QWERTY opinion could not go unavenged. So yesterday, it was reported that he had apologized. Disappointing but to be expected. Now his PR guy says reports of the apology are fake. Only thing I know for sure, they're all a bunch of fags.

Marlin Perkins (of "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom" once sat next to me on a flight. We were both in coach, for what it's worth. He spent the flight reading "Time" magazine. I didn't speak to him, and he didn't try to sell me life insurance, so I guess we were even. That's the closest I've come to meeting a celebrity. Mine has been a quiet life.

Baseball legend Ted Williams.
He was at the IHOP in Eugene Or. He came over to my friends and I and said we could now tell our buddies we had met him. To his annoyance my friend and I said "who?" He was really annoyed we didn't know who he was. This was the morning after the Oregon Invite Track meet. I was the top Duck recruit with some notoriety. I introduced myself and asked him if he knew who I was. He didn't. I said "OK then, Let's call it even." Posted by: SoUgly at September 01, 2025 05:39 PM (yf5/z) 88

Once traded 5 joints to David Bowie and his driver for a bottle of wine. He was headed to Albany from NYC and his limo stopped for gas at a gas station my friend was working at in the days before self-serve (1974). He signed the bottle. I was there to use the lift and hang out with my school friend.

Best unexpected celebrity meeting: I was in Innsbruck, Austria back in 1989 traveling with friends from college. I set out on my own to do a little exploring and came across a rather interesting looking pub. I wish I could remember the name of it. The sign had a monkey on it. Anyway, I go inside (it's about 2pm) thinking a nice local beer would hit the spot. At first I thought it was closed. Two people were inside. A guy was at the bar with his back turned. And an old woman seemed to be sleeping one off at a table.
I went to the bar, ordered a drink, and turned to the guy sitting at the bar to give the friendly head nod or whatever. And, there, sitting with a glass of beer was Sir John Gielgud. How did I recognize him, you ask? Well, a number of weeks before this I was sitting in a Shakespeare class at college, and only managed to get through it by listening to Gielgud's Grammy winning "Ages of Man". I figured I owed him for that, and told him the next one is on me, and why. He thought that was hilarious. Academy Award, Grammy, Tony, Emmy. Not many can make that boast. Also, an entertaining storyteller sitting in an empty Innsbruck bar, I can attest. Posted by: Orson at September 01, 2025 05:41 PM (dIske) 92

School and later working in Brooklyn Heights provided lots of opportunity to bump into Lefty celebrities. I held the door for Norman Mailer as I was leaving a deli and he was coming in. SOB never said thank you.
A coworker and I brought our baseball gloves to work once day to throw the ball around in the park in front of the courthouse at lunchtime. He overthrew me and the ball rolled right in front of Ramsey Clark on a park bench eating his lunch. Didn’t realize it was his m until I went over to pick it up.

When I was in my early 20s, I was at a Las Vegas casino where I met a stage hand for that evening's country music concert. He invited my friends and me backstage to meet Buck Owens, Conway Twitty, and George Jones. As we were standing backstage, I saw Conway Twitty approaching and was excited to meet him. Just as he made eye contact with me, he tripped and stumbled over some cables. He caught himself before hitting the ground, but I think he was a little embarrassed and so continued on past me.

I unfortunately saw Dim politicians in DC several times in restaurants. Bleah.
Met Robert Redford when I was still a supermodel. He was at least 3" shorter than me and I pretended I did not know who he was, even with eye contact. I went on to pretend to not know the politicians. I sadly saw Mitt Romney at an airport. He came over to me and asked if we were boarding (my husband was getting pastry and water). Unfortunately, it was post Barky's second term and I sadly spoke to stupid Mitt, still liking him briefly, altho I did ignore him at first, thinking he was yet another irritating person at 7am (I don't like morning flights). I even introduced him to my husband. At first I thought he was flying without security but was able to figure out later than he wasn't. I was in first class sort of behind him. The two guys who came up to him and said,"Thank you for your service" were right behind his sorry arse. I think that was code for, "We are here, dickhead."

Returning from our Clark AP, RP, AF assignment, we saw Robert Conrad in the air port at LAX. He was surrounded by a bevy of pretty girls. Fast forward 30 years or so and we meet a comedian who worked in LA back in the day. One of her jokes was something like, "I went to LA looking to be a star. One day while I was looking up at Robert Conrad's face as he was f'ing me, I realized all I had achieved was that I was looking up at a star." I'm sure she told it better. I hope.

OK, I just remembered another encounter. I once ran into Hugh O'Brian; it was in the elevator at the American Medical Association's headquarters, where I worked at the time. I stepped onto the elevator, and there he was, and briefly it was just the two of us. I recognized him immediately from the Wyatt Earp TV show, which I loved to watch when I was a kid. The thing is, I'm 6'6", and O'Brian is maybe 5'2" or 5'3" - perfectly proportioned, but short. I never suspected it from the TV show, where he was photographed to make him look like a six footer. Anyway, I look down at him, and he looks up at me, and the expression his face, he's thinking, "Go ahead! Say it! SAY IT!" But I didn't say anything. I just off at the next floor, and he didn't, and that was that.

John F*cking Kerry! He's as ugly in real life as he is on television! I worked for a Representative on the Hill in the late 80s. I was in high school, got asked to take a constituent to meet with Senator Al Gore. He was as boring and stupid as you could imagine. I was bringing him an old lady wanting to give them money and he couldn't carry on a cogent conversation. No wonder Hillary cut him out of her massive scam, he couldn't even ask for the money.

Last one, I promise. I was giving a talk at a Peanuts' Collector's Convention in Santa Rosa. (The year Charles Schulz died, so no, it wasn't he I met.) I was sitting at a table with my family, and Judy Sladky, a champion ice dancer and the star of Snoopy on Ice came by. I told her, "I always wanted my picture taken by a celebrity." She smiled and invited me to stand next to her. I handed her my camera and she realized I wanted her to take our picture. Judy Sladky does not have a sense of humor. At least she didn't that day.

I met Bill Clinton in my junior year of high school, while he was still prez; he was giving a speech of some description at the VA in Tucson, and our school's marching band was selected at the last minute to play at the event. The band director literally had less than 2 days to locate and rehearse a copy of "Hail to the Chief" and had to have one faxed in from Hawaii (it was the late 90s). I mostly recall the Secret Service taking forever to go through everyone's instruments to check for contraband (this took about an hour), and the speech being incredibly boring and mostly about finance (several of us passed the time playing "spot the snipers" on and in various buildings and parking garages). He decided to stay behind long enough to gladhand all of us and get a few publicity photos, so somewhere in a scrapbook I've got a photo of the band, and a photo of me shaking his hand. Looking back as a much more politically aware adult, the honor is much more dubious.

The only less than smart cat I've ever known was little Oreo, the long-haired tuxedo girl I adopted from a cat show in '02. She was not purebred, but she had some Persian in her, I think. Pink nose, green eyes, black and white coat, the perfect tuxedo cat, very sweet. And she was not young. But she knew where the food, water, and litter box were, and where my lap was. Not much more a loved indoor cat needs to know.
During Katrina, though, we bugged out with her and Linda's two cats, Marie and Angelique. Those two played rough with Oreo and stole her food like raptors pouncing on prey from two sides. I had to feed her separately and make sure she got enough chow. I imagined her wondering, "Why is he letting this happen to me?"

Sauce: Internet So what happened to Arthur Treacher's? Mostly a string of bad luck. The British-style chain was dependent on using the fish traditionally used in fish and chips: cod. In the mid-70s, a political showdown between Iceland and the U.K. that spiralled into an event known as the Cod Wars led to the closing of fishing zones, and the price of cod skyrocketed in the States. In 1979, Arthur Treacher's was bought by frozen fish-stick brand Mrs. Paul's. The new owners wanted to cut costs and boost the sales of their own pre-existing products at the same time. This led to a switch from cod to pollock Posted by: Soothsayer at September 01, 2025 04:46 PM (7kt/g) 76
Speaking of cleats and bikes. I bought a cheap, used stationary exercise bike at a yard sale. I just wanted something I could pedal once in a while in between using it to hang coats on. I mean, why overpay for a glorified coat hanger, you know?

This bike is the bare minimum to be an exercise bike, so I don't know why they thought people would need maximum grip on the pedals.

Great thread at Twitchy about the Cole woman. She was teaching at Michigan State in the economics department. Her fellow professors did not recommend that she be reappointed. The Dean overruled them.

RE: sidebar David French.
One has to wonder how his gig is going to play out. As the author demonstrates, his core audience is basically having him gaslight them. They read the times, they know the Sweeny coverage, shared the outrage, but now it never happened. I mean, get liking to have one's delusions supported, but these are in direct contradiction - either there was nothing there, or Sweeney is a Nazi symbol all good people must hate. As for French himself, he survives only because a certain group of Christians refuse to take a stand on anything and value class over faith. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H.

Woot! Got the entire south yard mowed now. Unless we get a spate of rain this month, might just be the last mow of the season. Got some laundry to hang on the line, then it is off the Red Deer to bitch at WalMart. Bought a battery there last evening, was supposed to be 129 bucks (which is damned high as it is), and did not pay too much attention as the self-checkout rang it in at 169! Well, turns out the battery is friggin' double-labeled. Label on the side is for the 129 dollar battery, sticker on top is for the 169 dollar battery. Somebody at the factory in May-hee-co screwed up. Either they give it to me for 129, or they can shove it.

No one takes him seriously save for the dwindling liberals who try to hold him up as an exemplar of conservative moderation. There's an almost masochistic need among Christians to offer charity to opposing view, and try to act like it's all erudite and full of Christian charity, but French has worn that out by constantly demonizing everyone who disagrees with him as a hypocrite, pretending that Trump was a deep sinner but Biden wasn't a world-class creep whose family backstory is fill with abuse and incest.

TX history is required by state law but the previous semester my advisor mistakenly signed me up for a US history class. It delayed me transferring to a 4 year school by a semester.

I suspect that there will have to be an almost complete break with a now-discredited government, including the monarchy, before things can return to the way they were. Think Charles II.
This will be difficult because the loons in power now don't have to call another election for years to come, but I don't see how that doesn't result in an outright revolt. If and when that happens, one wonders what will become of the current crop of illegals. Will they be sent home? Will they be allowed to stay?

After hearing a lot of noise about Nick Fuentes, I watched some of his videos today. I can see why he's popular. Interestingly, this includes among blacks. He doesn't strike me as a "white supremacist" (at least in the context of the slur) or an anti-Semite. His critiques of Candace Owens and Tucker were quite accurate, I thought.

Germany always - always - wanted war. Wilhelm thought it was the destiny of Germany to defeat France and England and dominate Europe. His generals all thought the same thing. From what I'm gathering, King Edward VII's death was the event that got the whole thing started; he was holding everything together, as the one everyone respected. A shame he didn't become king sooner - or lived longer.

Dr. Demetre Daskalakis homosexual orgies at taxpayer expense Reports accusing Dr. Demetre Daskalakis of funding homosexual orgies with taxpayer money are part of a disinformation campaign aimed at discrediting him.

Because of the long weekend, the screaming hasn't started yet about barring illegals from Section 8 housing.
Oregon Public Radio did do a puff piece on Afghans in Oregon - it's just terrible that the Federal funding for Afghan-centric organizations has been reduced, and did you know that each and every Afghan in Oregon worked for the US Army in Afghanistan? And the meanie US government should stop asking questions about whether some Afghans perhaps do not have legal residence here. The best quote: Another part of the battle for ASN [the local Afghan organization], Haqiqi said, is countering a narrative that immigrants are a burden on the system. He points to people in the organization, including himself, who are working to become doctors, lawyers and other trained professionals.

The Section 8 action is important, part of a package of moves, but the most important clock still ticks awaiting serious action on the most important problem: the jobs magnet. Employer perp walks. Which would do more to reduce illegal numbers over time than any other single enforcement step.
There are non-disruptive approaches and strategeries in their hands, but so far bupkis. Same small number of individual enforcements, like the WI meatpacker, that have happened for years, even during the obamanation. Only tea leaves to read so far, like the remarks at the Iowa rally, very very discouraging. Posted by: rhomboid at September 01, 2025 12:47 PM (U/Byj) 58

"Supercavitating" projectiles, including bullets, reportedly can retain velocity through quite a long distance of water, like hundreds of feet.

Speaking of sharpshooting . . .
A "normal" teenage sleepover ended in bloodshed for a 16-year-old girl in Missouri earlier this month, with cops saying she was "shot in the throat" and killed by a 21-year-old woman while "fixing her friend's hair" at a vanity, according to prosecutors. Bailey Lewis, of Lenexa, is charged with second-degree felony murder in the killing of Traelynn Sibley, a Grandview High School student who was just days away from starting her junior year when Lewis gunned her down at a home in the 3600 block of Norton Avenue on Aug. 9, according to the Jackson County Prosecutor's Office. The fatal shooting was allegedly carried out by Lewis as she drove past the residence. Cops say she was targeting someone else inside the home who had a "falling out" with her after Lewis allegedly let the person get "jumped" at a gas station months earlier, among other things. - I know what you racists are thinking but everyone involved was a cracker.

Since the Civil War was brought up, I'll leave this tidbit. I'm reading a book now about Grant. He wrote in his memoirs, either after a particularly bloody battle at Shiloh or Vicksburg (I can't recall which), he tells of the shock of seeing all the dead men from both sides laying on the ground. Many dead, but some extremely wounded and moaning, close to death. And then he could hear the wild hogs coming onto the fields and going to those moaning, dying men and finishing them off. What a way to go...

I couldn't do this again in a million tries.
Several years ago I shot a .22 pellet at a squirrel on my fence. About 7 yards. Grazed the back of his skull. He began jumping crazily, bleeding, all around my patio. A spit second after he went crazy I felt an impact on my shirt at waist level. I looked down; nothing there; went out and put the squirrel out of his misery. Came back inside and saw a deformed pellet where I took the shot thru my open patio door. I looked and found the pellet impact dent on a fence board with a smear of blood. The pellet bounced back at me in nearly the same plane. But I did not shoot at a right angle to the fence board! A crazy combination of slight deflection off the rodent's skull, angled impact off the board, back to my waist. Rare probability events do occur. Rarely.

The Mythbusters did a similar test a long time ago, running through several different cartridges all the way up to .50 BMG. and firing into the surface of the water with the muzzle something like 6 to 12 inches away In all of those, every bullet was tore to pieces within 2 or 3 feet after hitting the water. They also included a blackpowder rifled musket, that was either .54 or .58 caliber, don't remember exactly what it was. But it's all lead bullet made it around 6 feet or a little more before it lost enough velocity to render it essentially harmless and then sank to the bottom a short distance later.

In such a scenario, Carlos may have seen the Sun glint off the opponent's optic, but his opponent may not have seen the Sun glint off his. Would take unique circumstances to have simultaneous Sun glint off two optics facing one another.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at September 01, 2025 01:27 PM Understood. The story, as I recall it, was that Hathcock thought, but wasn't certain, that the sniper was in the small area he was looking at. The glint gave him enough impetus to fire. The other sniper was clearly glassing the area that Hathcock was in. Absent the glint, would one have recognized the other and fired? Who knows? It was a close run thing, though.

I don't believe he has an MBA degree. Hasn't done badly for himself, though. Posted by: Way, Way Downriver at September 01, 2025 04:34 PM (zdLoL) Good News This Labor Day - There’s a Crowdsourced Insurgency Jamming Corporate America’s H-1B Job Replacement SchemeOn this Labor Day, the old labor battles, especially management vs labor, are fading as a new battle emerges – globalist, America-last corporations versus job-seeking Americans. “Diversity” has been an excuse to replace Americans with cheap foreign labor who are effectively indentured servants on American soil. US citizens are let go from their jobs, then the corporations who dismissed the American workers sub-contract the work out to labor importers who maintain a plantation-like hold on the foreign workers they control. The H-1B visa program allows up to 85,000 Americans per year to be replaced by foreign labor brought to American shores, and once here, there is another fraud-riddled process to grant these foreign laborers permanent status. The Economic Policy Institute investigated and learned that the top thirty H-1B employers by themselves hired 34,000 new H-1B workers in 2022 alone, while laying off 85,000 workers. As awful as this anti-American program is, the primary target has been American tech workers, and they are smart enough to be able to use tech to fight back. An online campaign has gone viral to counter the deceptively dishonest measures being used by those hiring foreign labor. Specifically, employers are required by law to prove that there are no qualified American applicants. Their scheme is now being jammed, and the beneficiaries of the transoceanic labor-trade are starting to protest the unfairness of Americans fighting back. Candace Hathaway wrote a piece a few days ago titled “America last: Is Big Tech hiding jobs from US citizens to hire cheaper foreign labor from India and China?” The piece is excellent, and I encourage you to read it, but to boil it all down to a few bullet points, here is what is going on: • Corporations are replacing U.S. citizens as employees with cheaper foreign H-1B labor. 71% of H-1B employees are Indian and 12% are Chinese nationals. • Employers then seek “PERM” status for these H-1B workers. PERM is a Labor Department status allowed if no U.S. citizen who is “minimally qualified” can be found to fill the position. • The employer must prove that there are no minimally qualified US citizens, so they place a couple of job postings in obscure newspaper classified ads, or on obscure job boards. These jobs tend to not even be posted on the companies’ own job boards, much less popular job-seeking sites such as Linked-In or Indeed. • The jobs are often already filled before the job-posting charade is initiated. • Some tech employees have created an online jobs board called “Jobs.now” to aggregate these virtually hidden job postings. • A guerilla online movement is accessing these jobs at Jobs.now and flooding employers with job applications. By law, employers cannot ignore these applications if they want to hire foreigners to do jobs Americans are applying for. The campaign is working. Immigration attorney Anna K. Gorisch went on Twitter to condemn the flood of job applicants who are jamming up the H-1B scam, lamenting that “Flooding companies with unserious applications just to deny an H-1B worker permanent residence sponsorship is the labor market equivalent of a DDoS attack. Every applicant who appears to meet the minimum requirements must be contacted and all communication documented. Resumes might be fake or there may be a key skill they are missing, but no HR department has the capacity to follow up with hundreds of facially qualified applicants, so they just give up.” How tragic. The HR departments of companies seeking to evade US labor law must engage with and respond to United States citizens applying for jobs in the United States. Prominent politicians who understand which way the political winds are blowing are lining up behind American workers and against the brokers of semi-chattel foreign labor. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis rightfully labels the H-1B system a scam, stating that "I think you're right to say the H-1B, it's become a total scam. These companies game the system. Some of these companies are laying off large numbers of Americans while also hiring new H-1B workers and renewing existing H-1B visas." DeSantis strategist and former spokesman Christina Pushaw has been punching back at those accusing the grass-roots H-1B pushback of engaging in illicit behavior. Ms. Pushaw stated that Jobs.now “always advises Americans to apply ONLY if they meet the qualifications for a listed job. They aren't encouraging ‘unserious’ applications or unqualified candidates to bombard these companies. The fact is, a lot of H1Bs are in tech jobs, and a lot of tech companies have recently laid off American workers. So it follows that there are many Americans in tech currently looking for work and qualified for jobs in their field. This is how the labor market SHOULD work.” She also addresses the underlying complaint against Jobs.now by stating, “Applying for jobs isn’t a crime.”
When Americans flood PERM job postings with real applications, it forces companies to admit the truth: • They’re not short on talent.

The worst is when you are the one being laid off but they hold your severance package and will only release it to you if you train your H1-B replacement. The chutzpah of some companies, I swear. I remember hearing such stories many years ago and wouldn't be surprised if it still happens.

There is a lot of profit for the companies paying less than market wages for their H1Bs, there is profit for the groups that source and coach the applicants in foreign lands, and there is profit for the bureaucrats who push the applications through. It benefits everyone but Americans, and runs on taxes.
Kindltot's solution: Disallow the tax write off on wages paid to H1Bs. If there is a massive need for these workers, then the cost of them is supportable even if the employer doesn't get the standard deduction for the wages. If the employer can't support that additional cost, then the need was not that great, and they can train citizens and actual green-card holders instead.

"Resumes might be fake or there may be a key skill they are missing, ...."
Corporations are infamous when recruiting for tech jobs for listing a large number of skills in the job descriptions where no one ever has all those skills. People who apply claiming they do are lying, but it's used by the corporations to screen people out. I always wondered why. Now I suspect it's so they can hire H-1B applicants who claim they have all those skills but are also lying about it. Posted by: RonF at September 01, 2025 11:31 AM (l8nW6) 68

An educated, but underemployed worker class is a profound danger to any government, because they're savvy enough to know they've been screwed. This is especially true now in China. Also, if you send your people to more developed countries, some will return, and bring know-how with them. Again, see China. Posted by: Archimedes at September 01, 2025 11:31 AM (Riz8t) 69

BTW, the Department of Justice is complying with Judge Sparkle Sooknanan's order that 600 Guatemalan children not be returned to Guatemala.
Somehow, the kids got to the United States without their parents, and both the Guatemalan government and the kids' parents have requested their return. Judge Sooknanan is from Trinidad and Tobago, and is a dual citizen. It is really striking how many of Biden's judicial picks (especially the last-second ones) were born abroad - it seems evident that this was a deliberate policy, doubtless in the belief that foreign judges would be less attached to any American judicial norms.

once you hire an indian in a management position you will never see another american of any race or ethnicity hired except indians.

White males are currently and historically the largest percentage of American engineering students. When i was in engineering school back in the late 80s, it had to be 90%.
For diversity purposes, colleges have been subliminally discouraging white guys from enrolling in college. There are still plenty of white guys in college but the numbers are dwindling as many of them dont feel welcome there. Posted by: Lemmiwinks at September 01, 2025 12:08 PM (4Tqjt) 144

When I started off in manufacturing about 15 years ago, I was brought on board as the HR Manager (yeah, I know, things were a little different then). My company actually took pains to avoid H-1B visas even though we were in a hard to recruit area of the country. I do recall there was a fair burden of proof as you illustrate before we could hire.
The company abruptly pulled HR out of the plants the next year and I moved into manufacturing ops but it was eye-opening. The family who ran the company was very lawyerly so I understand why they wanted to pull that risk away, but it did upset the culture. No way I'd ever work HR again (or even could given my penis and Icelandic pallor). Posted by: Big Fat Meanie at September 01, 2025 12:26 PM (qwx/I) 177

——- Every country and ethnicity on the planet is racist, if not deliberately so. Tribalism is the default, not the exception. That’s why it is tragically comical to hear the criticism of the USA, the least racist form of government yet invented. Though it is doubtful it will remain “colorblind”; even the concept of Equality and Content of Character, all of those ideas themselves, are considered “Racist”.

This is such an effective painting. The colors are subdued, as if they faded over time. This isn't some young warrior in shining armor ready to fight the enemy or a dragon. He's older, tired and seen a lot in his years and the tools of his trade, armor and sword, show their use. I would expect his horse, if shown, would be not fiery bu older and dependable. His posture is weary as is his expression; tired but not defeated. You can almost hear him thinking with a sigh "once more unto the breach".

150 Media Outlets to Stage Anti-Israel Campaign Coordinated by NGOs, Leaked Docs Show
A leaked strategic document has exposed a coordinated international media campaign designed to pressure news outlets into publishing synchronized anti-Israel content on September 1st, meant to inaccurately portray Israel as systematically targeting journalists in Gaza and barring press freedom. The campaign, orchestrated by Reporters Without Borders (RSF) and advocacy group Avaaz, involves approximately 150 media outlets across 50 countries in what organizers describe as a "world-first" coordinated newsroom action. According to the Hamas-tied Palestinian Information Center, outlets that signed on include: “Al Jazeera, The Independent, +972, Local Call, The Intercept, Mediapart, L’Humanité, Forbidden Stories, il Fatto Quotidiano, El País, RTVE, Daraj, Mada Masr, Le Desk, and L’Orient-Le Jour (Lebanon), along with numerous outlets across Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Asia.” ====== Second look at wiping out "journalism?"

In 2022, California Governor Gavin Newsom announced a historic $97.5 billion budget surplus, later revealed to be a $165 billion deficit due to faulty projections.
This really took place. In 2022, California Governor Gavin Newsom declared that the state had achieved the largest budget surplus in U.S. history. Newsom stated, "No other state in American history has ever experienced a surplus as large as this." He suggested returning some of that money to the citizens, and given the high cost of living in California, many were pleased to receive a small refund from the state. However, there was a significant issue—it was entirely untrue. The supposed $97.5 billion surplus was actually a four-year estimate based on incorrect revenue assumptions made by Newsom's staff. In 2024, his team quietly released a revised assessment, indicating that the 2022 $97.5 billion surplus was actually short by $165 billion. What was touted as the largest surplus in American history turned out to be a huge deficit. This aligns perfectly with Gavin Newsom's track record. *snort Posted by: rickb223 at September 01, 2025 10:12 AM (cr7L+) 112

You have to wonder where the DeSoto fit into the Chrysler scheme. Yes, Ford and Chrysler were envious of the GM "Sloan Ladder" where budget-minded Chevy buyers could move up to Buick, Olds, Pontiac, and ultimately, Cadillac. Chrysler had Plymouth and Dodge on the lower end, and Chrysler and Imperial at the top. Turns out there was no room for DeSoto.
Similarly, Ford tried to create a new brand with Edsel, even though they already had Mercury and Lincoln for those with more $$$. The 1,100+ Edsel dealers lost their shirts, of course. Posted by: Auto Autist at September 01, 2025 10:23 AM (G5+As) 140

The United Nations said Yemen’s Houthis detained at least 11 workers on Sunday in raids on UN premises, which came after rebel authorities had made numerous arrests following Israel’s killing of their prime minister.
There has been no comment from Houthi authorities on the reported raids, but the Iran-backed group has previously arrested international aid workers. The United Nations envoy to Yemen, Hans Grundberg, said in a statement: “I strongly condemn the new wave of arbitrary detentions of UN personnel today in Sanaa and Hodeida… as well as the forced entry into UN premises and seizure of UN property.” === I'll await the international approbation that always attaches to attacks on UN personnel.

Similarly, Ford tried to create a new brand with Edsel, even though they already had Mercury and Lincoln for those with more $$$. The 1,100+ Edsel dealers lost their shirts, of course.
Posted by: Auto Autist at September 01, 2025 *** The Edsel had a bunch of strikes against it right at the start. There was a recession as they introduced the new marque, for one thing; the name was not attractive (compare Mercury Comet and Ford Fairlane, for instance); and there was the infamous "horse collar" grill styling that the public disliked. Ford also tried offering new (for them) tech on the Edsel like a push-button automatic transmission, which in those pre-electronic days was asking for trouble.

Interesting. Trump is going off this morning about the China virus vaccines and claiming the drug companies are hiding the data about how effective they really were. He seems to be indicating that is the reason for the recent high level departures from the CDC.

No. What he's saying, and it is the first time I've heard him say this, is that he was told the vaccines were effective but he's now hearing that maybe they weren't and the drug companies and perhaps some in government were lying about their effectiveness.

I would ask for prayers for some of my sister's friends who were involved in a 3 vehicle accident early Saturday morning, one of those being a semi.
Apparently the semi ran a red light at a 3 way intersection while they were making a right turn. Left side of the car was completely smashed. Firefighters had to use special equipment to get the driver out. The driver had massive injuries on her left side, broke every bone on the left side above the knee, collapsed lung and punctured spleen. She was helicoptered to Harbor View. She's out of ICU but barely survived emergency surgery. Her boyfriend sitting next to her and sleeping suffered relatively minor injuries. The passenger in the back seat broke every rib in her body and sternum. She also required surgery. A child in the other car involved in the accident also died. Ugh. Freaked my sister out a bit because she's had so many friends die or get seriously sick in recent months. Posted by: Farquad at September 01, 2025 10:50 AM (NtFTC) 183

139 You have to wonder where the DeSoto fit into the Chrysler scheme. Yes, Ford and Chrysler were envious of the GM "Sloan Ladder" where budget-minded Chevy buyers could move up to Buick, Olds, Pontiac, and ultimately, Cadillac. Chrysler had Plymouth and Dodge on the lower end, and Chrysler and Imperial at the top. Turns out there was no room for DeSoto.
Similarly, Ford tried to create a new brand with Edsel, even though they already had Mercury and Lincoln for those with more $$$. The 1,100+ Edsel dealers lost their shirts, of course. The price ladder thing was brilliant, but the car companies tended to kill it themselves. Divisions in the same company competed with each other and cost cutters tried to share as much as possible between car lines. Eventually it got to the point where the only real difference between a Chevy and a Buick was the grille and the emblem and no stripper level on the Buick. I really don't see how non "super luxury" cars even survive any more. Why would you pay a lot more for a Lexus when it is the same car as a Toyota? You want to silently boast about how you blew more money for no good reason? Posted by: azjaeger at September 01, 2025 01:51 PM (3/XaG) 221

105 "did you hear what eddie gein done?" is a fine account of this madman's escapades. illustrated and researched by eisner award winning cartoonist eric powell, creator of "goon."
Posted by: cmeat at September 02, 2025 11:33 AM (LgQ89) The Morning Report — 9/1/25![]() Picking up from where I left off late last week regarding President Trump's calling for 600,000 student visas for Red China, there's this item that is the, shall we say cherry on the parfait . . . Chinese Ph.D. Student Pleads No Contest to Smuggling Biological Materials into U.S.A. . . a second Chinese national, who is charged with smuggling in a toxic fungus that is considered a potential agroterrorism weapon, also remains under arrest.And yet President Trump said . . . . . . allowing Chinese students to study in the United States is the “right thing to do” because it’s good to get along with other countries.To Emperor Pu-Pu platter Pooh Xi, tetting along with Red China requires 300 million dead or enslaved Americans. An oxygen-tented President Trump likely would be whistling a different tune, if he could muster enough air from lungs rotting away due to some Chinese Student-imported Franken-Virus. But then again, after the biological warfare unleashed on us in 2020, aided and abetted by Anthony Fauci and US taxpayer dollars, you'd think he'd have learned his lesson. Well, it seems as if he's whistling — right past the graveyard with this insanity. Let alone the mass infiltration of the Red Chinese into even the most sensitive areas of our nation and economy. As you mull that one over, I give you this pair of stories. First, here's the SHOT . . . A fascinating video on X shows a young woman who identifies as a “Palestinian” spending almost nine minutes trying to explain why her black, pro-Palestine friends were wrong to be offended when West Bank denizens referred to them as “monkeys” and “slaves.” Watching her intellectual contortions is impressive as she tries to hide a fundamental fact: Arabs despise blacks. A little history is appropriate. The African slave trade to the West probably wouldn’t have existed were it not for the Muslim Arab slave traders. It did not matter to them that many of the Africans whom they sold into slavery were fellow Muslims. What mattered was that they were black. To that end, during the era of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, Arab traders happily brokered an estimated 12.5 million black Africans into demeaning and often deadly slavery. And with that, I give you the CHASER . . . The National Museum of African American History and Culture, a Smithsonian Institution center in Washington, D.C., features exhibits that glorify violent radical groups like the Nation of Islam (NOI) and offer historical falsehoods on issues like slavery, a Washington Free Beacon review found. The NOI features prominently in the museum, with exhibits offering effusive praise to the group with little mention of the organization's history of violence, anti-White radicalism, and anti-Semitism.But Donald Trump is literally Hitler and a white supremacist apologist for wanting to erase history or something. FYI many Africans, along with self-described "Palestinians" are quite literally sold into slavery and or kept in indentured servitude across the Arab and Muslim world to this very day. But Israel is committing genocide, or something. Meanwhile back in the good old US of A as President Trump is contemplating calling out the National Guard in Chicago and other Blue/Democrat dominated hell holes, as the residents most affected by violent crime in those places are overwhelmingly black are cheering on the President for cleaning up Washington DC The unhinged hostility to Donald Trump’s successful crime crackdown in Washington, DC, puts Democrats inexplicably on the wrong side of their own voters. What on earth are they thinking? Law and order is quite literally an 80-20 issue. You don’t need a pollster to say so, but 81% of Americans of all political persuasions say crime is a “major problem,” according to a new AP-NORC poll released last week. The other 19% must be either criminals or blue city politicians — or both. The president’s approval rating has shot up from 40% in July to 45%, likely as a result of his deployment of the National Guard to DC and his promise to replicate the model in crime-ridden cities from Chicago to Baltimore and New York. And yet the beast that swallowed Chris Christie (pardon the phrasing), criminal degenerate gasbag J.B. Pritzker emitted yet another cloud of noxious flatus: Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D-IL) is threatening President Donald Trump over possibly sending the National Guard to Chicago as crime grips the city. In a social media post on Wednesday, Pritzker claimed officials would not stand down if the president decides to make the move. . . . . . However, it appears that many of the city’s residents do in fact want Trump to take law enforcement action. Chicago businessman and former mayoral candidate Dr. Willie Wilson told reporters the issue was “not political” as people living on the south and west sides of the city were suffering under shootings, assaults, and robberies that made them feel unsafe, according to Fox 32.As to Sitz-Pritzker, in the immortal words of Iconic Democrat/Leftist Superhero and role model Josef Stalin, "How many divisions does Pritzker have?" And Brandon Johnson by his lonesome does not an army make. On August 30, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson put his city on record against President Donald Trump when signing what he called the Protecting Chicago Initiative, an executive order directing local police to disregard orders from federal agents should Trump send the cavalry into the city. . . Legal experts reviewing Johnson's EO quickly called it largely symbolic. Any mayor has authority over his officers, but that command ends with federal agencies. At best, an order limits cooperation; at worst, it tells the street that Johnson is more concerned about stopping Washington than stopping them.So, President Trump can presumably federalize the CPD, no? Meanwhile in the City of Brotherly Cheesesteak “Let’s be clear: if the National Guard comes to Philadelphia and commits crimes, they will be prosecuted locally and Donald Trump cannot pardon them,” the Soros DA told CNN. He won’t prosecute criminals, but he’ll prosecute soldiers. Even DA Krasner probably knows enough about the law to realize exactly how far he would get trying to do this. It’ll go about as far as the threats to arrest ICE personnel being made by Democrats.And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar.

Trump's efforts to "sanitize" the capitol city of crime put the locals in a real bind. But they really couldn't do a damn thing about it. The locals have let them know they think it was a success and they approve.
Contrast that with any of the other blue shitholes. For one, they're not like the capitol city with a quasi-federal presence to begin with. So, naturally the mayors and governors are going to huff and puff. But I'd bet the people affected by the crime wish the National Guard was on every corner. However they don't get a voice because the narrative isn't one the Democrats approve of. The left can't help themselves and will escalate the violence anyway. Because Trump.

Rule Brittania! Marmalade and Jam!
The idea of Britain and Great Britain (which adds Ireland), as opposed to England, goes back to when Scotland was annexed in the early 1700s. It's an after-the-fact construct to wipe away national identities. I learned this from "The Isles," a provocative history. Britain continues to have a rigid old-school class structure that was washed away in its Continental neighbors by war and revolution. The English Uppers descend from Continental conquerors who lord it over the descendants of the Originals who were first men Celts and Anglo-Saxons. For centuries the Uppers have used the Crown as stagecraft to justify their rule. I learned this from Robin Hood. Britain owes its charm and creativity to the legacy of the Originals. Without them, I look at Great Britain as being like Germany: arrogant and humorless. Not content with what they had, the Uppers have invited in a foreign invader. How do you think that will play out? If this reminds you of Game of Thrones, where do you think George R.R. Martin got his inspiration. Posted by: Ignoramus at September 01, 2025 08:16 AM (dtajH) 79

It will only happen if Vance calls the meeting with cabinet members. The same problem with Pence, who clearly KNEW that Chump was off his rocker but refused to do anything about it. Vance wants the presidency, but MAGA would absolutely hate his guts. The only way 25A would happen is if Diaper Don was truly incapacited. His myriad overreaches of presidential power are in the 2025 playbook, fully supported by the sycopants in his cabinet and R's in Congress. YES INDEED! Let people hear it, see it, loud and clear. THIS IS NOT NORMAL! It needs to be a continuing chorus, from every Dem in Congress, every governor, editorials, and every protester in the streets.

It's desperately needed and God knows it's justified, but it'll never happen without constant advocacy from Democratic leadership---which, as usual, is nowhere in sight.

Since Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has made it harder for the LGBTQIA+ movement to paint its religious symbols on public streets, some are now painting rainbows and trans flags on their own personal driveways. One woman is leading the charge by putting her brush to homeowners’ concrete canvases for free.

They have permanently dropped anchor in the 1960's, and with any little nudge will immediately revert not to the good old days, but the bad old days: Vietnam, RFK, MLK, etc. This is particularly true when it comes to race and social issues.

The standard term for a black person in Arabic is "abd", which means "slave" (see also: "Slav").
You also see it in names such as "Abdullah" ("slave of Allah"). One may also note that in the areas where blacks were enslaved by Evil White Europeans there are still plenty of blacks running around, while you see essentially none in the Arabian peninsula. Why? Because unlike the Evil White Europeans, the Arabs castrated all the men to make them more tractable, while using the women (and their female descendants -- the males were, again, castrated) as a hereditary sex-slave class. Eventually the African genes were diluted enough to blend into the regular population. Posted by: Rodrigo Borgia at September 01, 2025 09:00 AM (qpyNK) 144

>>> Why? Because unlike the Evil White Europeans, the Arabs castrated all the men to make them more tractable, while using the women (and their female descendants -- the males were, again, castrated) as a hereditary sex-slave class. Eventually the African genes were diluted enough to blend into the regular population.
Posted by: Rodrigo Borgia Soooo, were these castrations done by the owner when already in Arab lands or was it done by traders before shipment, kind of like an import regulation? Obviously the Arabs were racists in their ways, but it would be interesting if what they did to 'protect' themselves in their lands (castration) was not done when they exported to other countries, selling others what they themselves considered dangerous. Like Chyna can export what they consider too harmful for domestic use. Posted by: Itinerant Alley Butcher at September 01, 2025 09:25 AM (/lPRQ) 200

Several reasons why this did not happen. 1) Massive war weariness in the US Armed Forces. Few wanted to fight 2) Lack of nuclear weapons. The ones we had were large and mainly craft-built. 3) Our delivery B-29s did not have range for a return trip for many needed targets. 4) Lack of Intel on targets outside of cities in range. 5) The main factories were outside of P-51 escort range.

The Boomers long ago outlived their usefulness, and my sincere hope is to outlive the last one of them. They have permanently dropped anchor in the 1960's, and with any little nudge will immediately revert not to the good old days, but the bad old days: Vietnam, RFK, MLK, etc. This is particularly true when it comes to race and social issues. They're just wallowing in nostalgia while the younger crowd are hardcore Marxists and useful idiots. Same as it ever was.

but their 'own' are used as both traffickers and legitimate crew leaders, paid by the multi-employers. Those individuals have often been awarded visas through the State Department, DHS, US Labor Department, etc. and union membership. (Like Kilmar Abrego Garcia?) Btw, those city and suburban undocumented "workers" don't have the same state and federal oversight over working conditions and wages afforded to legitimate farm workers, nurses aides, etc.

RE: diuretics: I found that diphenhydramine, the active antihistamine ingredient in so many OTC sleep aid pills, and acetaminophen, the pain reliever, both send me to the head every two hours at night (and probably in the daytime too). So I no longer take them. Water, I admit, is not an exciting drink when you're not thirsty. I've sidestepped that, and soft drinks, by drinking sparkling mineral water. I don't know exactly what minerals are in it, but I have to assume there's no plutonium, for example. It livens up your taste buds with the carbonation and seems somehow more "there" than does spring water. Maybe, Pixy, that would be more attractive to you?

Everything is closed today, so I'll take it easy, prepare my estimated tax payment and change the cats' litter box. (One is about as appetizing as the other.) Wed., appointment with my primary doctor. Maybe one morning we can visit the Italian ice cream parlor that used to be in the French Quarter and now is in Mid-City not far from the big park.
Oh, and the brake tag. This is the annual safety inspection required by the state for your car. Not that it's rigorous. Blow the horn, step on the brake, turn on the headlights and the turn signals, inspect the window tint with a meter, that'll be $25, no checks. Mine expires 9/25, so it's best to do it early and long before the last day of the month. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at September 01, 2025 06:05 AM (omVj0) 46

Pixy, be careful with the diuretics, you can upset your electrolyte balance easily with them. A good talk with your doctor about that needs to happen. Posted by: IRONGRAMPA Yeah, until today it seemed she'd prescribed something pretty mild. Now I'm refilling as fast as I can. If I drink more than I need I can pee that out as well.

Hadrian about a Navage
Got one early July when was having a sinus issues, worked well for 10 days through 1st bag of pods,. Was fine session, liked how it cleaned out my sinuses. Next day it stopped working. Have contacted through email a couple times but they want to set up a phone call and haven't done that yet. I think it's the button that is problem, they sent me instructions on cleaning. I only used it 10 times. Posted by: Skip at September 01, 2025 06:45 AM (+qU29) 72
