Posted by: Wesley Crusher at August 01, 2025 10:11 PM (DgGvY) Asian teeth have a slightly different shape. The skulls of various races have slightly different features. "There are certain markers in a skull that help identify a person’s race, Paschal said. For instance, Asians have wider cheekbones than other races, Caucasians have longer faces, and Native Americans have teeth that are curved on the back." --intertubes Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) at August 01, 2025 10:18 PM (ynpvh) 55 UN man would get a little rapey first...

Posted by: Frasier Crane at August 01, 2025 10:30 PM (7+Xt0) 97 Love the ding dong ditch sweet boy and his father! When our sons were in junior high their friends down the street pranked us. An odd prank, maybe a FL thing. They rode their bikes to the front porch and smeared pizza on the front doors. They did not know my husband, in his teens and college, once ran 4min miles and long distances. They found out that night and he chased them barefoot down the street and caught them both. They were hiding in bushes and he hauled them to their mothers. One mother profusely apologized. The other could not believe her boy did this. Guess whose sons were successful in life? Ours, plus the mother's boy who apologized. He was later made to come to our house and apologize. The other turd might not be in prison but he did not do as well, nor did his sister.

Michael McDermott, son of original owner, Marno McDermott, will lead and operate the new restaurants under Chi-Chi's Restaurants, LLC. Hormel Foods, the current owner of the Chi-Chi's trademark, has allowed the use of the Chi-Chi's name for the physical restaurant locations. A few months later, McDermott announced that he will convert his two Rojo Mexican Grill restaurants in St. Louis Park and Maple Grove to the revived Chi-Chi’s brand.

Granted, living in Commiefornia, I lay my most concentrated Ire on the voting capabilities of these that I live amongst and will call for lack of a better term... "SHEEP." But these SHEEP are not without help from the various Democrat minions that actually run the voting process in this state. And it is because of the Democrat lockdown on the voting process in Commiefornia why Democrats seem to win every regional contest up and down the state save Orange County. Because they request voter ID. Wonder how much different the elections would be if voter ID was mandatory statewide. Just sayin...

Posted by: Boss Moss at August 01, 2025 11:09 PM (igexu) My Dad was a health inspector in Norfolk and one of his assignments was to travel over the Chesapeake Bay-Bridge Tunnel to the Eastern Shore and inspect the plants there; I think Tyson and somebody else. He never talked to me about his experiences in detail since I was a young kid but he must have talked to my Mom about it. Mom never made anything with chicken my entire life. She could cook fried chicken, she just hated making it. She'd buy a bucket of fried chicken from a local place if guests suddenly dropped by but she never cooked chicken herself. Plus, as a kid on the farm with a pet chicken, one day her Mom handed her an axe and said, 'We need dinner'. As a result of their I guess quite understandable biases, took me a long time to even start eating chicken, much less enjoying it as much as I do now.

(if the comments don't appear in one they will in the other) @DrInsensitive Jul 29 Insightful. Women are built to be traded to another tribe (or captured) and slide seamlessly into their new culture. That keeps them safe,even though they are physically weak. 20 years after they are captured, they are the matriarchs who enforce that culture. That is why women conform to the dominant culture, and thereby amplify that culture. IMO, that is why Western women, raised in anti-white culture, are now amplifying anti-white culture, even though they are white. They think that keeps them safe, and they are correct, but only in the sort term. In the long term, they will be forced to remember they are white. Better they are reminded of that by white men, because the alternative is not so gentle. https://tinyurl.com/5n7ehbt5 https://tinyurl.com/bdcuudwd Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at August 01, 2025 11:23 PM (KY4Yu) 217 Evenin’, All, Weird Dave.

She was quite the force of nature, the first of seven kids, and by "auntie" I mean great-aunt. My grandpa's older sister. She carefully explained to my dad when he was young that it wasn't dignified for him to be called Corky when his name was Alan. Of course, her kids went by Minnie, Kink, and Squeak. The irony totally escaped her. But she was a pretty good painter, and some of her paintings are in the museum in Laramie. I always thought Evelyn was a lovely name.

Neighbors have a flock and they have a good size kennel to run around in, they don't attack each other. When they get new chicks they do keep them separate until they are older. Last year they raised some meat birds. They were discussing with other layer chicken folks at a gathering and the meat birds were pretty aggressive. They had to be kept separately from the laying varieties. Even as young chicks the meat birds killed a couple of layers before they realized this.

Now, adding the two on the neutral, would bring the absolute value of the phase to neutral into it, and they would fill in the gaps of that somewhat. And that is one of the purposes of the 8 diode design. But guess what, they operate during normal operation as well, and about 10 -15% of the output power is supplied through that neutral diode part. And how does that work. Normally, the phase to neutral would never exceed the ripple of the 6-diode'd output. But, due to the ridiculous increase in current requirements with all the modern electrical loads, alternator design has been pushed to the limit, packing as much current capacity into as small a physical package as possible....

Posted by: Rodrigo Borgia at August 02, 2025 12:17 AM (qpyNK) 346 The result of that pushing to the limit is very non-linear output from the phases. Core tends to saturate, and the flux distribution gets all wonky. They produce a lot of harmonics, and the 3rd harmonics, being additive, do allow the phase to neutral voltage to exceed the phase-to-phase at the lowest points on the ripple wave. They thus supply some current. The AC output of these modern things is just a mess, AC "quality" wise, but it's rectifed to DC, and that's what's going on. Blew my mind.

Performance nuts have ways to circulate before trying to start the engine. Good mechanics would pull the distributor and use a drill to run the oil pump before starting a rebuilt engine. Or disconnect the ignition system while using the starter motor to circulate oil.

Even a paper thin, nearly invisible bit of corrosion on a ground point will absolutely cripple alternator output and charging. This is because we’re dealing with high current low voltage. Even a fraction of a single ohm excess resistance will cause major trouble. An ohmeter is useless here. “The grounds look good!” people will say. You got X-Ray vision? The trick is to measure Voltage Drop. The amount of resistance can be inferred by measuring in parallel, at a low voltage setting while in operation. Zero voltage drop would be ideal, but impossible. 0.5 volts is considered acceleration for the negative side of the circuit, slightly more on the positive. Each connection, ground point, splice is a potential failure point and will (eventually) fail. The starter & alternator also mate to the block, that’s how it gets ground. Clean!

It was capable of shotgun shell start, but the normal means of starting it was hand crank. It had a big flywheel on the right side (the flat-belt PTO), and that wheel had a helical groove milled in its rim for about half its width, running off the inside edge. There was a compression-release lever nearby, with a small wheel on it. You would pick up the lever, drop the wheel in the start of the groove, and grab a flip-out knob on the flywheel, and start cranking. Took some muscle, too. After about six turns, the flywheel was moving pretty fast, and the little wheel ran off the end of the groove, and suddenly that one-lung Diesel had compression. But the spinning flywheel had enough oomph to bring the piston up to TDC, and fire the fuel. If it fired once, it was running. About a half-minute's worth of effort. I managed to do it OK.

Yes, but when you wring the terminal down tight on the post, and tighten the bolt, you get good metal-to-metal contact just the same. And the grease squeezed out fills any tiny gaps, and helps prevent acid fumes from going to work on the lead or copper. You used to be able to buy chemically-treated felt washers to put on battery posts for the same purpose.

Likewise his subordinate Curtis LeMay took an enormous risk in radically changing the tactics with said B-29 to low-level, night firebombing (the plane, amazing for its era, was specifically built for high-altitude daylight precision bombing). There had been some talk of this, and one small test raid of sorts, but LeMay put all his chips in the middle when he ordered the Tokyo raid of March 8/9.

Posted by: Don in SoCo at August 02, 2025 01:00 AM (vd6bO) 408 My observation is battery corrosion at the terminals is due to outgassing to some large degree. The outgassing is due to a chronically undercharged battery. Batteries outgas when charging, this is both necessary or typical in the absorption phase. But it should be minimized, they actually stop outgassing when they reach full charge. I noticed once I started keeping batteries plussed up with a charger, terminal corrosion disappeared completely. The other end of the negative cable, where it attaches to the block, is equally important. This is the main connection. Everything works fine when new, but a couple years exposure to road spray and salt, it will degrade. Just a few hundredths of an ohm extra resistance will reduce alternator current output by about 30%! Clean, tight electrical connections are key. I always re-install charged batteries. A dead battery is torture for Alternator. Not designed for that!

Then, because I'm 29, I put it back upright, pull the cord a couple times to flood it, then remember to put the wire back on the spark plug, set the throttle to minimum, pull the cord a few more times to clear the flood.....

I like that pretty good. A lot of guys like to install a single ground point connection at the frame. Detroit liked to use the lightest gauge copper wire and cable they could get away with, and run it to the firewall. Cheap bastards. I would get OO double ought and run it direct to a starter bolt. One would think copper washers would be better for ground bolts on the frame. Something to do with dissimilar metals and fretting corrosion. Steel washers are OK. OEM use those rough star washers that “bite” into the metal, they work good for a while at least.

Posted by: Mike Hammer, etc., etc. at August 02, 2025 01:23 AM (XeU6L) 420 Would you believe, that in my life of 58 years, I've had three batteries explode on me? The first one was in a car when I was driving back and forth from Clempson cow college on the weekends. Stopped at a gas station to fill up on the way down, and got back in an hit the started. Boom! Put a dent in the hood, and sprayed acid all over everything. That was a classic explosion failure mode. It was "maintenance free", and the level had dropped below the plates (I surmise this). Now, it was a hot day in Sept, I believe, and the thing had been charging, electrolyzing water and getting H2 and O2 over the top. Now, when the electrolyte level is below the plates, something can happen and cause a little short to happen on heavy current draw. Spark and boom inside the battery cells.

It was another maintenance free type. They got little vents and I think the vent got plugged with dust. The battery was exposed to all the dust. I'm not sure exactly what happened, but I think overpressure burst, followed by fire. The third battery explosion happened right under my ass on a riding lawn mower. The dinky battery was completely dead, and I was just boosting it off with the charger to start it, hadn't gotten around to replacing it. I was on the side of little bank and felt a big "whump". I thought I must have ran over something, but couldn't see anything. When I got back it and got off it, I noticed a little trickle of liquid running down.

Posted by: Miklos prays for MR at August 02, 2025 01:41 AM (whVCA) 428 And before I was born, my father had a battery explode as well, but that more due to "operator error". Had an old '55 F-500 truck. It had a 6V system with a positive ground. You can jump off 6Vs from a 12V system, you just don't want to leave it connected too long. It's gonna charge the hell out of the 6V battery, but the 6V starter will spin pretty fast. He had a field hand helping him who was more of the strong back and weak mind type. He understood the "red was hot" and black was ground. He connected the 6V side, backwards. My father didn't think to check him, and he connected the 12V side, last. When he made that connection, it was both batteries in series dead shorted. The 6V battery just exploded. The helper had stepped back enough, and the explosion just went more straight up. He got a little acid on him, but nothing serious. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at August 02, 2025 01:44 AM (w6EFb) 429 Well, I am going to hit the sack. Night, Horde.

Posted by: Common Tater at August 02, 2025 01:00 AM (B0ATO) You would not believe how many times i have to tell people to charge a new battery fully before sticking it in their harley. I hear this shit almost every week. Oh I put a new battery in and its dead. Well, did you charge it? No they said it was charged. NO..NO, they are never frigging charged. Just because the frigging ass picker at the counter where you got it says that he's full of shit. 12.6 off the shelf is not charged. Stick a battery in like that it and its over, the bike will never charge it right and the battery will be doomed. We charge them up to 13.5 and they work every time. Even my asshole brother did this TWICE with a full custom bike with stroker engine I built him. Puts a battery in, bike won't crank good, battery eventually dies. DID you charge it? Uh.. no. I tell him charge the new battery. He puts another in down the road, and no charge, and the bike is the same unreliable shit all over again. Now I own the bike. I put a fully charged battery in 1.5 years ago and its been golden the whole time.

Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at August 02, 2025 02:28 AM (w6EFb) 439 An interesting day in US History: From a previous thread here today, Joe Biden's consigliore, Mike Donillon, says Kammie is indeed running in 2028, Mark Halperin says Family Biden is threatening to release details of Kammie's utter failures if Kammie talks about Joe, and Kammie is/might be writing a book. I predict the book does get written, initially sells well, then fails, as too many items are just unbelievable and the ghostwriter just isn't that good. Kammie uses her book money and some/lots of her husband's fortune to finance the campaign. Her campaign fails and he ends up being not a billionaire. I feel sympathetic butt-hurt. But the big question: who, either side or third-party, will leak forbidden information about Joe or Kammie? I predict that both sides are loading torpedo tubes, and it will be a combination of low-level flunkies on both sides that start the fight. DC area, so I guess this will be Third Battle of Manassas.

Posted by: Mike Hammer, etc., etc. at August 02, 2025 03:01 AM (XeU6L) 441 That frozen battery blowing on charging was interest, and I had Grok go over a possible mechanism. Grok thinks it was likely expansion due to freezing warped messed up the internal conditions, possibly a short or the other way, making a high resistance path. Some tiny current would flow, although the ice would limit it. But, with some heating, it thinks little pockets of liquid would developed, and they would electrolyze pretty quickly, giving some H2/O2 production in little pockets. As it loosened up, a spark or hot spot sets it off.

Who knew? Anyhoo, talked with some amazing people who find Jade, collect it and turn it into all kinds of things. The colors are mostly dark green to a deep blue. Beautiful stones. The folks pride themselves on gathering their stones, some as big as #400! Without blasting or destroying the environment. I got a beautiful stone carved into a bowl.

That keeps them safe,even though they are physically weak. 20 years after they are captured, they are the matriarchs who enforce that culture. That is why women conform to the dominant culture, and thereby amplify that culture. IMO, that is why Western women, raised in anti-white culture, are now amplifying anti-white culture, even though they are white. They think that keeps them safe, and they are correct, but only in the sort term. In the long term, they will be forced to remember they are white. Better they are reminded of that by white men, because the alternative is not so gentle. https://youtu.be/8RS87qYgSLY?t=13 Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at August 01, 2025 09:18 PM (KY4Yu) 117 Find a golden retriever.

The CWO IP from the transcript of the CVR that I have seen was far too deferential to PIC, calling her 'Ma'am' and making suggestions. He might as well have been David French watching his wife get pegged. Another example of him being more an 'advisor' and not a check pilot happens just before the collision. He tells her she should drop some altitude; NTSB has found both barometric altimeters at time of impact were reading above 200ft with at least a 50ft discrepancy between them. She responds with "Uh okay fine... more to the middle." "More to the middle" meant she was going to fly over the center of the Potomac which meant PAT25 was moving towards the flight path of the landing CRJ and away from what is defined as Route 4. Right then and there he should have gone "Check ride over." But he didn't. And then it was too late. The FAA got yelled at by the NTSB for ignoring the problem and transferring out anyone who protested.

On the way back, we saw that the snake had gone for a 150 yard swim in the ocean, then went back up in the dunes. The sidewinder trail was very distinct.

Francesca Albanese, the U.N. special rapporteur for Palestinian rights who has a long history of anti-Israel remarks, told the Associated Press on July 29 that the U.S. sanctions issued against her this month are hurting her and her family. “My daughter is American. I’ve been living in the United States, and I have some assets there. So, of course, it’s going to harm me,” Albanese told the AP. “What can I do? I did everything I did in good faith, and knowing that, my commitment to justice is more important than personal interests.” It’s very serious to be on the list of the people sanctioned by the United States,” Albanese told the wire in Rome. She said that those sanctioned, like her, “cannot have financial interactions or credit cards with any American bank,” the AP reported. === FAFO Francesca. Va bene.

Posted by: Barkingmad59, wandering lurkette at August 02, 2025 01:47 AM (c3R0U) The Week In Woke Trump signs an EO to push blue cities to clear the homeless off the streets. The order directs Attorney General Pam Bondi to reverse precedents that limit state and local governments' ability to commit people on streets who are at risk to themselves or others, according to a White House fact sheet obtained by The Hill. It also requires interagency work on grants for states to enforce prohibitions on open illicit drug use, urban camping, loitering and squatting, and to track sex offenders. And, it requires redirecting funds to ensure people sleeping on streets and causing public disorder, and suffering from serious mental illness or addiction, are moved to facilities like treatment centers. Additionally, the order requires that discretionary grants for substance use prevention, treatment and recovery do not go toward funding "drug injection sites or illicit drug use," and it aims to stop sex offenders who receive homelessness assistance from being housed with children and allows programs to house women and children exclusively. Leftwing deplatforming-and-defamation organization Media Matters is on the verge of bankruptcy. From Media Matters' ally The NYT: The organization, which is funded by some of the Democratic Party's biggest donors, has racked up about $15 million in legal fees over the past 20 months to defend itself against lawsuits by Elon Musk, in addition to investigations by Mr. Trump's Federal Trade Commission and Republican state attorneys general. The group has slashed the size of its staff and scrambled to raise more cash from skittish donors, according to documents and interviews with 11 people familiar with the organization's fight to survive. Feds charge "Medicaid Millionaire" with fraud. Louisiana 'Medicaid millionaire' bought Lamborghini while claiming government benefits for years Investigators say Taylor flaunted luxury lifestyle on social media while fraudulently receiving government benefits Not so fast. A Louisiana woman who purchased a Lamborghini while fraudulently obtaining Medicaid benefits is facing a fraud charge, authorities said this week. Candace Taylor, 35, of Slidell, dubbed the "Medicaid millionaire" by the office of Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill, was arrested Monday. The state Bureau of Investigation began looking into Taylor after receiving a complaint from the Louisiana Health Department saying she underreported her income to qualify for Medicaid benefits. "From 2021 through 2024, Ms. Taylor continued to transfer tens of thousands of dollars between her personal and business accounts, with personal inflows consistently exceeding the eligibility thresholds for Medicaid," the affidavit directly states. Medicaid provides health insurance for low-income adults and children. The program is partially funded and primarily managed by state governments. The federal government establishes parameters for states to follow. However, each state administers their Medicaid program differently. Taylor initially applied for Medicaid in May 2019 under the alias Candace Sailor, listing a bi-weekly income of $1,900 and no dependents, authorities said. That application was denied. Less than a year later, she re-applied under the same misspelled name, prosecutors said. She was allegedly inconsistent with the years she reported having a dependent. Investigators eventually discovered she owned six different businesses that generated more than $9.5 million between January 2020 and December 2024, according to court documents. More hospitals are dropping their "gender affirming" genital mutilation services. The Trump administration is definitely on a roll. Last month the LA Children's hospital announced that it would be shutting down the largest gender-affirming care clinic in the United States, the Center for Transyouth Health and Development. Then a week ago Children's National Hospital in Washington, DC made a similar announcement. This week several more hospitals and medical groups have followed suit. Sexton reports that Connecticut's Children's Medical Center and Yale New Haven Health have ended their barbaric butcheries, as well as the University of Chicago Medical Center. And -- this is a big one, because it operates in eight states -- Kaiser Permamente. Awww: Axios is sad that the FTC is investigating whether Children Mutilation Chop-Shops are making false claims about their experimental surgeries. The Federal Trade Commission on Monday launched an inquiry into whether health providers are failing to disclose risks connected with gender-affirming care or are making false claims about its benefits. Why it matters: The action could help make the case for using unfair competition laws to crack down on health providers, by asserting gender-affirming care involves deceptive claims, legal analysts say. Driving the news: The FTC solicited public comment through Sept. 26 from consumers who "may have been exposed to false or unsupported claims about 'gender-affirming care,' especially as it relates to minors." The move followed a public workshop the FTC held in early July to "gauge the harms consumers may be experiencing" surrounding gender-affirming care for minors that featured prominent critics of youth gender-affirming care. The agency justified its involvement by saying its role is to assess whether medical professionals have violated parts of the FTC Act by failing to disclose risks connected with gender-affirming care or making false or unsubstantiated claims about its benefits or effectiveness. Reality check: Gender-affirming care for minors is supported by major medical organizations including the American Medical Association. LOL. "The leftwing organizations dominated and whip-sawed by the radical transgender cult says this is all great, and that's all you need to know." No surprise: "Scientific" and medical publications prioritize woke political propaganda over actual science. We began by conducting a keyword search of every article published in the JAMA Network--a group of 13 medical journals affiliated with the American Medical Association--between April 1 and May 31. The phrase "diversity, equity, and inclusion" appeared 56 times, more often than atherosclerosis (45) and osteoporosis (16). Another progressive-coded term, "inequity," showed up 99 times--more than asthma (75) or opioid use disorder (65). All of these papers are left-leaning, according to AI analyses. DEI-inspired scientific studies are often plagued by poor design: sampling bias, lack of proper control groups, leading survey questions, and circular reasoning. Researchers frequently treat incidental associations as proof of causation. These methodological flaws are baked into published papers, which then get cited, flaws and all, by others. Over time, some DEI-based studies acquire unwarranted credibility and authority. Take Brad Greenwood and colleagues' research from 2020, which claimed that "newborn-physician racial concordance"--meaning the child and the doctor are the same race--"is associated with a significant improvement in mortality for Black infants." But the original authors failed to control for babies with very low birth weight. When Manhattan Institute researchers replicated the study, they found that racial concordance had no such effect. Nonetheless, the original study has received more than 800 citations, including 21 by articles within the JAMA Network. Another study with similar left-wing premises has also made the rounds. Kelly Hoffman and colleagues claimed in a 2016 paper that "Black Americans are systematically undertreated for pain relative to white Americans." Their conclusion was based on a sample of 194 medical students and 28 residents, with no attending physicians included except for "10 experienced physicians," whose recommendations served as the benchmark against which sample participants' knowledge was evaluated. In one of the paper's two case vignettes, these physicians identified narcotics as the appropriate pain management for kidney stones. Had they consulted the 7th edition of Tintinalli's Emergency Medicine Manual from 2012, however, those physicians would have known that NSAIDs are the "primary analgesic of choice" for that condition, not opiates. While this error calls into question the study's conclusions, the paper nevertheless has been cited over 3,000 times, according to Google Scholar. Nepo baby and former celebrity Jamie Lee Curtis calls plastic surgery a "disfigurement." Sounds like she's talking about her Freak Friday co-star Lindsay Lohan. Jamie Lee Curtis is condemning Hollywood's obsession with plastic surgery for "disfiguring" generations of women. "The concept that you can alter the way you look through chemicals, surgical procedures, fillers -- there's a disfigurement of generations of predominantly women who are altering their appearances," the "Freakier Friday" star said in a new interview with the Guardian. "It is aided and abetted by AI, because now the filter face is what people want. I'm not filtered right now. The minute I lay a filter on and you see the before and after, it's hard not to go, 'Oh, well that looks better.' But what's better? Better is fake." To drive her point across even further, Curtis, 66, rocked a pair of oversized wax lips -- which she personally bought from Amazon -- to her accompanying photo shoot with the outlet. "The wax lips is my statement against plastic surgery," she proclaimed. "I've been very vocal about the genocide of a generation of women by the cosmeceutical industrial complex, who've disfigured themselves. The wax lips really sends it home." Curtis then defended her use of the word "genocide," recalling its definition of the deliberate and systematic destruction of a national, ethnic, racial or religious group. She said she uses it "specifically" because it's a "strong" word. I don't mind her criticism of the cosmetic surgery industry. What has me scratching my head, though, is her unqualified support for experimental cosmetic surgeries to "affirm gender." Department of Education Secretary Linda McMahon is investigating five fake universities for prioritizing illegal aliens over actual US citizens. Defund and decertify. We have too many fake universities pumping out uneducated students and giving them fake Participation Trophies of Learning as it is.

Posted by: Stateless - HAPPY NOT HOMELESS! - New Life Creation 15.8 % at August 01, 2025 07:29 PM (jvJvP) --- I'm still eating it. It is a Life Change. Two slices of high fiber toast in the morning (2g). Lunch is yogurt with Grape Nutes added (4g) and raw carrots (2g). Afternoon snack (2-ish) is a little fruit cup or granola bar (2g). Based on that, I try to factor in fiber into the entree for lunch and dinner, so chili (with beans) gets you a long way, as does hamburgers with whole wheat buns and corn on the cob. Canned pears (no sugar added) are 7g. Triscuit crackers are fiber-rich, so having them with some cheese is nice after dinner. Putting Fiber One on ice cream is a large boost as well. It was a real chore to balance it at first, but I'm basically seeing it as building blocks to complete a day. Planning out a weekly menu helps. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H.

Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks, Something Smells Funny In Here at August 01, 2025 07:56 PM (L/fGl) 206 I'm goofing off instead of working. Very annoyed by the group boss. My supervisor had told me boss wanted me to try processing some test data we got a certain way but it was never put in the ticket so I though maybe the boss had decided it was not worth doing it. Today he asks in ticket update "did anyone do this special processing?" I had to resist the impulse to reply back that my name is xxx xxxx. He himself and possible the senior software engineer who is not in our group and has a long list of other tasks are the only people other than me who could possibly have done it and boss knows that full well. When he can't even have the courtesy to use my name, and goes through my supervisor for almost everything he wants me to do as if I'm going to bite him if he asks for something (in a ticket or email, doesn't have to be face to face) I find it very annoying.

Who knew? Anyhoo, talked with some amazing people who find Jade, collect it and turn it into all kinds of things. The colors are mostly dark green to a deep blue. Beautiful stones. The folks pride themselves on gathering their stones, some as big as #400! Without blasting or destroying the environment. I got a beautiful stone carved into a bowl. It’s heavier than you would think. And the color is stunning. I talked with the guy for a bit. My piece was found in the Pilchuk River. It’s extraordinary.

I like my supervisor a lot, and the boss is pretty good at convincing the agencies to keep funding us, so I mostly try to cut him slack . But he spreads himself and now all of us way too thin. And I think he really is timid to ask me to do things directly, possibly he thinks I might get mad and resign and that is why he asks the diplomatic supervisor to 'have stuff done' instead of asking me directly, but some times that itself is a big annoyance.

During Friday's edition of his "Morning Meeting" newsletter on his 2WAY platform, Halperin dropped a not-so-subtle warning: if Harris ever turns on Biden, the former autopen president's handlers are ready to unleash a barrage of "embarrassing" information to put her in her place. "I'm going to break a little news here, okay? We talk all the time about what did Kamala Harris know and when did she know it about his cognitive decline... if the Biden people decide that Kamala Harris is coming after Joe Biden, wait till you hear the Palinesque stories about how much they tried to help her be prepared to be vice president and be in a position to run and how much they decided: not happening," Halperin explained. "And if the Biden people feel threatened, you will hear stories about Kamala Harris as vice president that will not make her look good. Okay? So there's a closeness to the couples -- it's not like they're at war currently -- but I'm telling you, if Joe Biden feels threatened, if his people feel threatened by her, this is going to escalate in a big way," he added. I mean, I think he was making a similar threat during the campaign. Biden must have told her "Do not EVER disagree with any of my policy choices"* -- why else would she have claimed she could not think of a single decision Biden had made that she would have decided differently? She couldn't possibly be that stupid, could she? Certainly she had her allies in the media repeating the spin that she would govern completely differently than she had previously promised, so she was aware that the progressive policy ship was sinking. Maybe this is all an okey-doke, with the two people no one wants to hear from ever again promising major revelations in their horrible books just to drive up sales. Or maybe is real and will be entertaining. Earlier I said that Kamala's political career was over, and she was essentially admitting that in saying she doesn't "wanna go back" to the "broken system." But Biden's top advisor Mike Donillon says she's running in 2028: Speaking of the collapsing gerontocracy: Indian squaw take heap big tumble. DOWN SHE GOES! Elizabeth Warren just took a nasty tumble.

What I saw, day in and day out, was a leader who was deeply engaged and in command on critical issues, both at home and abroad," Donilon said in his statement. "Every President ages over the four years of a presidency and President Biden did as well, but he also continued to grow stronger and wiser as a leader as a result of being tested by some of the most difficult challenges any President has ever faced. "I thought that experience was enormously valuable for the nation. I believed that President Biden was the best person to lead the country on the day he took the oath of office and I continued to believe that was true every day he served as President."

The Russians had the ability able to track the Apollo CSM/LM by radar during transit to/from the Moon. They would have been able to receive much of the comm and data from the spacecraft going to/from, pinpointing transmission locations. I have no doubt the KGB had assets in NASA and the Apollo contractors who would have known some info about any fake mission set-ups in the US or elsewhere.

Women are built to be traded to another tribe (or captured) and slide seamlessly into their new culture. That keeps them safe,even though they are physically weak. 20 years after they are captured, they are the matriarchs who enforce that culture. That is why women conform to the dominant culture, and thereby amplify that culture. IMO, that is why Western women, raised in anti-white culture, are now amplifying anti-white culture, even though they are white. They think [genetically guided] that keeps them safe, and they are correct, but only in the sort term. In the long term, they will be forced to remember they are white. Better they are reminded of that by white men, because the alternative is not so gentle.

Fifty years of demands on this front yielded no results. Until now. And the response from the left? Silent fuming. #6 – FDA approves new natural blue food dye from gardenia fruit.

But leftists? Leftists who have been demanding this for half a century? One begins to suspect that they believe exactly none of the things they claim to believe, and that what they really believe in is Marxism, and all of their relentless attacks on normal society aren't about the issues they claim they're arguing about but only about undermining and hollowing out normal society so that the Great Communist Revolution can come and sweep it all away. Some preamble for this next link: I don't want to insist that you believe the new thinking on corn syrup/fructose. You may well think, "They're literally telling us that this or that is poison every ten years before reversing themselves later." But here's my pitch: Whether or not you buy it, it's been a steady buzz in health circles -- and the awful media -- that corn syrup/fructose is not a "healthy" sugar, but is in fact a sugar even more unhealthy than sucrose. Fructose is processed in the liver, unlike other sugars, and American livers are already over-taxed due to our high obesity rates and diabetes rates and exploding rates of fatty liver disease. Anti-sugar campaigner Dr. Robert Lustig insists it's the most poisonous of all sugars. I'm not saying you have to buy any of that. I'm not sure I buy the claim that one sugar is "better" than another. They're both bad, at least in the enormous quantities we now consume them in. I am saying the media has bought into this idea, and has previously reported that high-fructose corn syrup is driving our high obesity rates. Until now, that is. Trump badgered Coca-Cola into dropping the high fructose corny syrup from its sodas and replacing it with cane sugar (as Mexican Coke is sweetened with, which is then imported into the US by people who say it just tastes better). So as soon as Trump Does It, NBC "News" is suddenly pro-HFCS. Again, my point isn't about HFCS itself, but how the media routinely does complete 180's whenever Trump endorses a policy. This was going on pre-Trump, of course. For thirty years, the media enjoyed saying that all Republican efforts to cut government spending were utterly useless because the only real way to reduce the deficit was to rein in Social Security and Medicare spending. Then, in 2012, Mitt Romney and his political fuckboy Paul Ryan actually grabbed that third rail and did what the media had shouted for thirty years was the "eat your vegetables" solution to fixing the nation's finances and proposed very modest reforms to Social Security and Medicare. And the media demonized them for doing exactly what they said must be done for three decades straight. I'll never forget that. And it's why I forgive Trump for not having the "bravery" to address this issue: Because we all saw what happened the last time someone proposed doing what the media insisted must be done. So: Are you making GAINZZZ for Trump? I had Trump GAINZZZ for a couple of weeks and then this last week I became Low-Energy Jeb. I would just like the weather to not to "feel like" 100 degrees plus, alternating with heavy rain. I would so much enjoy that.

Posted by: El Mariachi - Attorney at Law at August 01, 2025 05:47 PM (D1vbu) 28 What I've already read about the fructose corn syrup is it does not satiate the way the older sugar sweetened sodas do. So you end up drinking that 32 oz soda instead of being filled up from a 10 oz bottle (the 10 oz glass bottles were before my time). I dunno if that is true or people just get conditioned to want a larger sweet drink. I switched to water and mostly unsweetened tea, or herbal tea years ago. Perhaps that helped me gain less, but I didn't get skinny cuz of the switch. I did see improvement with going to the intermittent fasting eating schedule. The reading about IF sounded good to me. Seems to make sense that having that window with no food so your body uses up insulin in the bloodstream and will burn fat helps break the cycle of craving sweets every few hours. Also for me it is a useful thing for telling myself I am not really that hungry and if my body is actually wanting more calories I will just eat more when the eating window opens again. People that have never battled the tendency to stress eat or to mindlessly eat something just because it tastes good don't get how hard it can be to break that cycle.

While Vance is currently positioned as the Republican party's likely candidate for the next presidential election, former transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg, California Governor Gavin Newsom, and U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., are all potential Democratic opposition. According to Emerson College's poll, which surveyed 1,400 registered U.S. voters between July 21 and 22, Vance has a slight edge over all three politicians, although it’s the closest race between Vance and Buttigieg. In a hypothetical 2028 presidential election, 44% of voters would support Vance, while 43% would support Buttigieg. In a similar hypothetical, 41% of voters would support Ocasio-Cortez, in comparison to 44% for Vance; in a Newsom-Vance matchup, 42% would cast their ballot for Newsom, and 45% would opt for Vance.

I ate whatever I want, just not a whole lot of it, like before. The first thing you will discover restricting calories, one will become very mindful of the calories. If 1200 calories, or 1500 is your personal magic number, then it better taste good. No mindless stuffing whatever into the gullet. Ice Cream is fine.

The problem is that China has overwhelmed the system and there is no way to inspect millions of packages a day for illicit contents. They know this. Trump claimed it is a security emergency, which it is even though it is not acute and instead has been building for years. But the Left is claiming that Trump is raising the prices for poor people who can no longer buy subsidized crap from China. (The other problem is that they get free shipping from USPS -- does anyone know if Trump has canceled that or has plans?) (The third problem is that it cuts the US out of manufacturing, and retail, and brands, and IP, and everything.

I just realized I couldn’t keep blaming the broken scale and wondering how all my clothes had shrunk. Easiest thing I did in my diet was stop drinking my calories. I went from one coke a day to one a week to one a month to sharing one per month to…I barely ever have a soda anymore. It never felt like it filled me up so it was the true definition of empty calories. I’ve since turned 29 another 15 times so I’ve had to keep making cut backs.

Mardell, 64, has been at the company for more than three decades including the last two years as chief executive during one of the most transformative periods in the firm's recent history. This includes spearheading a remarkable financial turnaround for the company, which has seen it bounce back from heavy losses and debt around the beginning of the 2020s to posting its best profits for a decade last year. JLR reported a pre-tax profit of £2.5billion in 2024-25. But arguably Mardell's biggest involvement has been his role in Jaguar's controversial 'woke' rebrand and shift to an electric-only premium car brand from 2026 - including the unveiling of the polarising Type 00 concept. A spokesperson for JLR told the Daily Mail: 'Adrian Mardell has expressed his desire to retire from JLR after three years as CEO and 35 years with the company. His successor will be announced in due course.' He will reportedly leave the role on 31 December. ... Its success has been driven by record wholesale volumes of its Defender 4X4s, which sold 115,404 units over the 12-month period. In contrast, just 26,862 Jaguars were sold worldwide in the financial year - a 45.8 per cent drop - after production of all models ceased in November as part of a planned 'sunset period' for the manufacturer, its dealers and its customers to prepare for the company's hotly-debated electrified relaunch. American Eagle has issued a response to ugly cat ladies unashamedly showing their envy and resentment that a white woman is getting more attention online than they are. No, it's not this one. This one is a parody, though most wish American Eagle would endorse it: American Eagle's genuine response is good enough: They are defiant, and they say, correctly, that a bunch of ugly harpies coping on TikTok and BlueSky is not real life, and that their own polling shows that 71% of respondents like the ad: At the Federalist, Rich Cromwell writes that this contretemps, as stupid as it is, is important. It shows that the mentally-ill, unaccomplished social-media-addicted nobodies who have bullied, harrassed, and deplatformed us for ten years are shrieking because they're realizing they have no power here. They are nameless and formless and accursed. Like Sauron, they are now banished to the void from whence they came. Given that denim is one of American Eagle's staples and that Sweeney is rather attractive, it's a brilliant pitch replete with a dad-level pun. At least, it's a brilliant pitch to not insane people. For the insane, though, it's "Nazi propaganda," "Nazi fascism," and "an unbridled cultural shift toward whiteness." [T]he completely unhinged and disproportionate response to the campaign shows the inmates who have been running the asylum are losing the plot in real time. For starters, it's an advertisement for blue jeans and, to be honest, not exactly an original one. Don't get me wrong, it's fantastic marketing, people are talking, and American Eagle's stock trended upward as a result. But using attractive people to sell products isn't some revolutionary idea. It's basically the foundation of advertising, albeit one that was briefly lost to the siren song of "inclusive beauty," which, lol. Businesses may pretend to care about social causes and stakeholders, and there are definitely true believers ensconced in almost every Fortune 500 company out there, but at the end of the day, the purpose of business is to make money, not engineer social change. But the brief stranglehold the inmates held over businesses gave them a false sense of security, of permanence. They thought they'd won the war, whereas we can now see that they only won a few victories and that those victories were not exactly strategic ones. ... Much has been made of the vibe shift, which is truly a thing of beauty, especially to those of us old enough to witness the descent into madness over the past decade, but the thing is, the vibe really has shifted. And those whose worldview and, more importantly, income streams depend on fomenting controversy are on the ropes. They may preach equity, but as always, some pigs deserve a little more equity than others. As such, don't get upset at the dying media for its desperate attempt to cling to the old vibes, to keep beating fascist Nazi colonial whiteness tropes into a bloody pulp better suited for a muumuu than a pair of nice-fitting jeans. (Did I just commit white supremacy by discussing muumuus, insane people of the internet? If so, please let me know on your preferred social media site!) John Ekdahl @JohnEkdahl It cracks me up that for three or four years, people have been scratching their heads and saying "hey, where'd all the white people go in commercials?" Now they bring one white girl back and it's a five alarm Nazi fire. Allahpundit's favorite MSNBC host Chris Hayes agreed that it's a "problem" that Democrats have to answer for the silly posts made by rando nobodies, like racists insisting that white women are no longer permitted to be "centered" in advertising campaigns. He apparently doesn't read MSNBC itself, which published a hit-piece saying, essentially, that any ad featuring white people is an insidious backslide into White Supremacy. this really is a problem! https://t.co/nHosBKWFZE — Chris Hayes (@chrislhayes) July 31, 2025 Your news outlet published this story. The freak-out over the Sweeney ad isn’t just coming from a few small liberal accounts https://t.co/OLvbZSMRUA pic.twitter.com/facBHHUdIC — Chuck Ross (@ChuckRossDC) July 31, 2025 Not just MSNBC, of course: Holy crap, Good Morning America on Disney owned ABC ran a story this morning saying the Sydney Sweeney clothing ad is connected to Nazis. Legacy media is dead: pic.twitter.com/IcPmRJr8R0 — Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) July 29, 2025 Black Conservative Perspective compiled more desperate, envious nobodies boohoo whinin' and cryin' that a white girl appeared on their computers without their consent. This one's a gem -- in addition to claiming that it's white supremacy for any white woman to claim to be hot, she also rips her fellow leftwing lunatics for... not wearing masks in public, which she says is its own kind of White Supremacy because covid affects mostly "brown and black people" or something. shitlibs are policing other shitlibs for criticizing the Sydney Sweeney ad while not wearing COVID masks (this is real) pic.twitter.com/AQ4YFnONyd — pagliacci the hated 🌝 (@Slatzism) July 30, 2025 In case you didn't hear: the newest rage of Current Year, the fight against "eugenics" (a word that stupid lefties just discovered, so they have to repeat it endlessly like four year olds who just learned a new word) has entered its second week. Dunkin Donuts ran an ad featuring a blond-haired, blue eyed guy calling himself "The King of Summer" and saying that his coloration -- "golden sun" -- was genetic. And the left went into Genetic Convulsions again: OMG, now the liberal snowflakes on TikTok are being triggered by a Dunkin Donuts commercial 😂😂 Enjoy this one 👇😂 pic.twitter.com/SebdCzXgZf — Vince Langman (@LangmanVince) July 30, 2025 Ed Morrissey talks about the Vibe Shift hitting Madison Ave: And what is that lesson? It's pretty simple: Normal people are normal. They respond to normal stimuli, such as attractive young women and men in advertising pitches. They don't mind looking at "kings of summer" or svelte starlets in TV and print spots. In fact, normal people tend to prefer it. Mainly, though, normal people don't like being lectured about social-justice causes in sales pitches, or in other forms of entertainment. They have grown sick and tired of it, in fact, so much so that they are responding very enthusiastically to advertising campaigns that either eschew it, as Sweeney's jeans campaign does, or deliberately provoke the Lefty lecture circuit, as Dunkin' Donuts is doing. The days of Bud Light and other woke products scolding their customers is over, and ad companies have figured that out. For years they have demanded that the entire world "decenter whiteness." Whites should no longer appear in commercials, and when they appear in commercials, they can only be part of mixed-race families. The woke racists insisted that corporations and all of society join them in denouncing whiteness and insisting that whites should hide their shameful pale faces and pass the torch to the Superior Races of non-white people. They're just fighting racism, doncha know And yes, Black Conservative Perspective compiled a bunch of people, mostly woke white progressives trying to gain credibility with minorities by insisting that it's time white people passed the torch and exit the stage, boohoo whinin' and cryin' about the silly Dunkin Donuts ad.

Posted by: Case at August 01, 2025 04:43 PM (q3kYF) 10 I remember Rush Limbaugh (pbuh) going on about how these companies would quake in their boots over these lunatics, when they should realize they're just a tiny little minority of the population, and a minority that doesn't even buy their products. I hope, thanks to Trump's victory, they're finally getting this into their heads. In fact, it looks like mocking and triggering these lunatics may be a positive marketing strategy, as the actual market base for their products will get a kick out of making them cry.

Posted by: Mister Scott (Formerly GWS) at August 01, 2025 04:45 PM (0N4FZ) 16 Speaking of automobiles . . . Last week I had a new Duracell Premium battery installed in the '16 Buick LaCrosse. It seems fine; the car starts without issue every time. However, the voltmeter in the instrument cluster now reads about 12 V instead of hovering a hair above 14 as the car usually has for the six years I've owned it. This battery is not an AGM, absorbent glass mat battery, as far as I can tell from the labels on the battery itself. AGMs, I am gathering from my 'Net research, can be at 100% with a voltage of a little over 12. But this is not an AGM (I think). Is this normal? Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at August 01, 2025 04:46 PM (omVj0) 17 I'm sorry. I don't want to see the videos of screeching leftist, but thanks for showcasing them, Ace.

Posted by: CaliGirl at August 01, 2025 04:47 PM (vZUXb) 19 Right after the George Floyd (scam), it was like white people weren't allowed to be in commercials anymore. It was already heavily biased against white people, but then it was like outlawed.

If that's the case and the charging voltage IS what you're seeing it's because the new battery has more energy after start and it takes less charge voltage to restore it to full capacity. That's a lotta words to say fly it and watch it.

Real punk rock today would be uber maga, rejecting the establishment, the people in power, the elites, mocking the extremes of popular entertainment, etc. Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at August 01, 2025 05:21 PM (dfIr7) 161 There is an argument made in academia that every time a white man fucks a white woman, it is an act of racism. Indeed every time a white man is attracted to a white woman (i.e. 5 million times per second in the US) it is an act of racism. By having sex with, or even merely wanting to have sex with another white person, you are overtly trying to increase the number of white people and in so doing "perpetrate whiteness; sexual attraction leads to sex and sex leads to babies and babies grow up to be white people. Although this high-level worldview is not allowed to be discussed publicly, it is what underpins much of what we see in advertising and media franchises: Endless race replacement, endless mixed-race couples depicted, endless de-balling of white male characters. The goal is to manipulate and force white people through social engineering to copulate with people of other races, and then through the one drop rule" classify those offspring as members of the other race, with the end goal of there being no more white people. I wish I was joking, but the more you submerge yourself in the morass of academia, the more outrageous and sickening it is revealed to be.

Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at August 01, 2025 05:26 PM (dfIr7) 184 If anything, the American Eagle ad is just a dad joke parody of the old Calvin Klein Brooke Shields ads, which were more scandalous. I grew up with heroin chic Kate moss ads and the notorious Abercrombie and Fitch ads. I think humanity will survive. The left also wants to forget that their Virgin Mary of feminism, Margaret Sanger, supported ACTUAL eugenics. The American Eagle ad is a Rorschach test for woke madness.

The vast majority (IMO) are just tired of it. And not having to think about it while grocery shopping would be refreshing, and rewarded. Having to determine the politics of what smart phone or wifi service you use. Having to figure out if the furniture you just bought comes from a company that donates to climate change non-profits. I think an advertising campaign that just said, "Fck it. We're out." would resonate with the American public and lead to massive market share in personal appreciation alone.

The Whites therein were cast as Klan and/or Crackers; the White adjacent as business owners who lived & worked between the town's Blacks and Whites, for a price, and the beautiful biracial lady had extremely poor judgement and was not destined to be a winner. Of course, not for everyone, but the acting, period clothing, sets, etc. 👍. The worst part was the audience. Today, just about everyone from the region must be down the shore so that left miserable old people, much like myself, to attend. An actual conversation, one of many along the same vein: Hi, Margaret! Haven't seen you for ages! How's your summer been? Well, good, I suppose, but for the neverending fascist news and our Federal government, but what can we do about that? Staying on the peripheral of the madness, I just reminded them that picking up an also free cookie from a library table doesn't need to be a project. Move on & do your political gripping elsewhere.

I’m starting to question whether it’s unique to them. Yes, it's disturbing how the Left forments Delusions of Nazi - they knowingly and falsely accuse us of inhumanity to justify treating us inhumanely. It's why three 10-year old boys were executed in a mass shooting over "transphobia". It's why a guy wearing a Trump 2016 shirt was stalked and murdered on his way to a Trump rally. It's behind at least one of the attempted assassinations of President Trump. These are the consequences of their warped narratives. Yet, what’s hit closer to home for me isn’t the Left’s attacks but friendly fire from our side. I'm hesitant to associate them with the Right - I've fought the Left for 30 years and I recognize the same patterns - they fight Southpaw. Initially, I dismissed this with the assumption that they simply adopted the tactics the Left used against them during the Hugo controversy. But as I encounter more of these individuals, I can't help but notice a low moral character I've only seen in the Left. Posted by: Fenrisulven at August 01, 2025 11:31 PM (ciYHQ) 284 Perfect example: if you knew your enemy was being wrongly persecuted due to mistaken identity, would you speak up? They won't, I think because it would harsh whatever they're getting from their delusion. This suggeststhis mental illness isn’t confined to the Left. Perhaps they're just more susceptible to it because they've already weakened their grip on reality by indulging so many alternate narratives? I don't know, and I'm not a psychiatrist, and if I was I wouldn't diagnose over the internet. What I do know is that we have something like the Red Witch on the Right who is torching innocent people as heretics to fuel her delusion of being a damsel in distress being hounded by turkish agents and undercover feds. She targeted a guy on Twitter just last week, and no one with influence seems willing to intervene. Granted, she's been harassed so unmercifully by the Left that we reflexively assume any criticism is made in bad faith, but I’m not calling for her to be canceled or de-platformed or any of that nonsense — those are Southpaw tactics.

Do it for yourselves. Because we're winning, to a degree we haven't seen since Reagan. But the victory bittersweet. Have we finally found a leader worthy of us only to become unworthy of him ourselves? If we're not going to defend ideals like Truth and Honor, what was the point of replacing the Left? I keep thinking of Ser Davos of Seaworth. God forbid they make a Season 9 of Game of Thrones, but now that the peace has been won, do you think we would find him content? I don't. I think that every night he would be haunted by the screams of Princess Shireen being burnt at the stake, knowing that he could have prevented it.

DHS statement to @FoxNews on these ICE arrests yesterday via @TriciaOhio: pic.twitter.com/t1xsXpImaK — Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) July 30, 2025 But, of course, the left keeps fighting to keep this country filled with foreign invasionary pedophiles: A black female DEI Biden appointee just asserted that Trump doesn't have the power to undo prior executive orders and take countries off the list for automatic asylum. If she's going to make this all about race, I will too. She says that Trump is showing "racial animus" and presumes, on this basis, to take over the powers of the presidency. A San-Francisco-based federal judge on Friday blocked the Department of Homeland Security's efforts to cancel temporary protected status (TPS) for recipients from Nepal, Nicaragua, and Honduras. Judge Trina Thompson asserted that Trump administration officials had demonstrated a likely racial motivation for the cancellation and paused the deadline for them to leave the country. "The freedom to live fearlessly, the opportunity of liberty, and the American dream. That is all Plaintiffs seek. Instead, they are told to atone for their race, leave because of their names, and purify their blood. The Court disagrees," she asserted. If this reads to you more as an impassioned political stump speech from a crazed demagogue more than a judicial ruling: Congratulations, you read at an age-appropriate level. "The Court orders that the TPS terminations shall be postponed to preserve the status quo and until a hearing on the merits on November 18, 2025. Postponement will be subject to extension at the November 18, 2025 hearing." The move is a blow to Trump's efforts to speedily deport large swathes of immigrants and another instance of a federal judge blocking White House policy, even after the Supreme Court narrowed the scope of nationwide injunctions. More from Regime rag Politico: "Color is neither a poison nor a crime," U.S. District Judge Trina Thompson said in a 37-page ruling Thursday, which postponed a Sept. 8 deadline Noem had imposed for those 63,000 immigrants to leave the country or lose Temporary Protected Status, better known as TPS. Again, this is simply not a judicial opinion, this is a stump speech for a black revolutionary politician. The San Francisco-based Biden appointee accused Noem of using terminology drawn from "the discriminatory belief that certain immigrant populations will replace the white population." The judge also pointed to language Donald Trump used on the campaign trail in 2023 denouncing immigrants for "poisoning the blood of our country." And she said Trump, Noem and others have conflated TPS recipients -- who were admitted into the country legally -- with criminals. No, they have not conflated them with anyone. They have reasoned that the previous grants of automatic asylum to "refugees" from these countries is no longer justified -- if it ever was. Why were Honduras and Nicarauga designated as countries whose nationals were allowed to come to the US and live permanently? Because, see: They have bad weather. No, really: One of those random facts you learn reading court opinions that is just absolutely wild Temporary Protected Status has been in place for Honduras and Nicaragua for 26 YEARS BECAUSE...THE WEATHER IS BAD THERE pic.twitter.com/CvUojxgSYw — Will Chamberlain (@willchamberlain) August 1, 2025 This grant of automatic asylum is predicated on these countries having been hit by a hurricane in 1999.

She apparently started vacuuming and he didn't like the noise decided to leave. I'm driving up the street as he is walking down the sidewalk. So help me goodness, I did not recognize him. It was so completely out of place it didn't compute. I walked in the house and noticed he wasn't around. Asked wife, and we panicked. I ran out to the street and saw a block down a police car with lights on. I ran, with dread. He was OK, neighbors stopped him and called cops because he couldn't really talk yet. Shit happens. I didn't say a thing to the wife. We were both terrified. She later got us a trained assistance dog that only barks when an outside door opens. Nobody sneaks in or out these days.

For starters, none of our arguments last long, as they are usually about stupid things. Then one or the other of us laugh. He did, once, leave our young toddler in a grocery cart at the cashier's of the local grocery store to find me in the back. I asked, "Where is ___?" He got this horrified look on his face and ran back, where our boy was sitting in the buggy calmly talking to the cashier. I did not kill my husband in the store. But he got an earful in the car and never did it again. Fortunately it was in 1982 and a low crime city. Fortunately nothing happened to our boy. Fortunately for my husband, especially. I knew where ours were at all times until junior high. Then they had to tell me. It was our responsibilty to somehow get them to adulthood and we did.

Nobody knows why, they just do it that way because they’ve always done it that way. “Hispanic” was never a thing, until Tricky Dick started some sort of gubbmint program or somesuch. Once Federal Confetti-Buck Cannon gets deployed on your location, some will claim anything for ancestry. Just ask Lieawatha, Senator from Massachusetts.

The dealer sold her a used Kia K5, but claimed in court documents that it was later determined that the McCreary did not provide sufficient information for loan approval. McCreary found the perfect chance to pull off the automobile revenge of the century while considering her legal options. She discovered that the dealer had not renewed its company name with the Ohio Secretary of State and swooped in by registering it in her name. McCreary then slammed the dealer with a cease-and-desist letter asking them to stop trading with the name.

Jaguar then went on to put out that horrendous ad which has killed the company. Far more people than just the CEO need to be shown the door. Posted by: Thomans Paine at August 01, 2025 04:08 PM (Vfq+S) I've opined before that I believe Tata, the Indian company which now owns the Jaguar nameplate, has intentionally killed it, although I really don't know why. The ad is just a small part of that - the worst part is that they've shut down all production of current lines until their new line of EV vehicles can be released. I don't think that line will ever be released, and meanwhile every Jaguar dealership in the world is closing. There's no coming back from that. And the CEO of Jaguar just resigned. The fascinating part is that the owners of Jaguar know all of this, and have orchestrated all of this. Why?

Posted by: Cow Demon at August 01, 2025 08:02 PM (vm8sq) Exactly as Predicted, EU Law Supposedly Intended to Protect Children from Porn Is Immediately Deployed Against Its Real Target: Political Speech by Adults That is Critical of the Failing, Traitorous Regime Trump is warning effeminate ponce Keir Starmer that if the EU continues using this law to stifle Americans' speech, there's going to be big trouble. White House warns Starmer: Stop threatening US tech companies' free speech Members of Donald Trump's administration monitoring Online Safety Act with 'great interest and concern' The White House has warned Sir Keir Starmer to stop threatening American tech companies amid mounting backlash over Britain's online safety law. Members of Donald Trump's administration are monitoring the Online Safety Act with "great interest and concern" after key allies said it was censoring free speech and imposing unfair burdens on US businesses. The law, which regulates online speech, allows the British government to levy massive fines on companies like Apple, Truth Social, and X if it finds that rules on hate speech have been broken. Those in the president's inner circle see the potential penalties as an unwarranted foreign intervention into American free speech. "President Trump has made it clear that free speech is one of our most cherished freedoms as Americans," a senior US State Department official told The Telegraph. "Accordingly, we have taken decisive action against foreign actors who have engaged in extraterritorial censorship affecting our companies and fellow citizens. "We will continue to monitor developments in the UK with great interest and concern." Since the law came into effect last week, Ofcom, the UK's online regulator, has written to several American firms ordering them to conform to the act, in letters seen by The Telegraph. It has sparked outrage from US lawmakers and legal experts, who say the overreach is a threat by the UK to silence American companies and citizens. Congressman Jim Jordan, chair of the House Judiciary GOP committee, said the law was an attack on American companies. "Ask Apple and they would view it as a $500 million attack," he told The Telegraph. "There's general concern... and then there's concern on how this impacts American citizens, American companies and infringes on our First Amendment. "As long as foreign legislators, judges, and regulators continue their attempts to silence US citizens, we will not stop fighting back." ... During his meeting with the Prime Minister in Scotland, Mr Trump warned Sir Keir not to censor his social-media platform, Truth Social. "Well, I don't think he's going to censor my site, because I say only good things," Mr Trump said. There's new news about the Rotherham racist Muslim rape gangs: Charlie Kirk @charliekirk11 Incredibly disturbing new details out of the UK reveal that not only were countless little girls raped by migrant grooming gangs, but when they went for help, many were raped again by the police. Take one guess who was staffing the police departments. So in the UK: -Authorities ignored migrant grooming and rape gangs because prosecuting them might lead to accusations of racism -Victims of Pakistani rape gangs who went to the police were instead raped again by the police themselves (who were of Pakistani origin). -In other cases, police leaked the accusations of victims to perpetrators, who then threatened the victims. -Judges in Islamic rape cases have allowed defense lawyers to spend entire trials calling grooming gang victims sluts, then denied the release of court transcripts to hide that this happened. -The government is currently weighing a formal definition of "Islamophobia" that would include linking grooming gangs to Islamic immigration. -Local governments are hiring "Sharia law administrators" -Mass censorship is used to cover up protests against this as well as criminally punish those who complain Is Great Britain just a gigantic Epstein Island? Yes. Here's the link to the BBC story. Yes, when women went to the Rotherham police to report sexual abuse and rpe by "Asians," the Asian police at the station also sexually abused them. We're hitting levels of Cultural Enrichment that shouldn't even be possible. This issue was discussed in Parliament -- and the discussion in Parliament* was censored, with censors citing the "Online Safety Act's" forbiddance of "hate speech." They cannot win on the immigration issue -- the public is now roused and demanding changes -- so they just claim that anyone urging reforms of immigration law is trafficking in "hate speech" and that it is criminal to make those arguments. The Online Safety Act has now restricted some users from viewing a speech in parliament about Pakistani grooming gangs. How is that protecting children? Big brother madness. pic.twitter.com/OfahPLPx1K — Chris Rose (@ArchRose90) July 27, 2025 The British public is angry: Has a British Government ever appeared so terrified of its own people? More to the point, can you think of one that deserved it more? The social contract has been shredded. You go to work and pay your taxes for a state that seems to be crumbling into disrepair. In exchange, the Government takes your money, and uses it to fund an alleged secret scheme to fly in Taliban fighters to live on your street. But don't worry -- we've got a new "elite police squad" to prevent trouble. That police unit won't be patrolling your neighbourhood to keep you safe from harm. Rather, it will be tasked with scouring social media for protest pre-crime, monitoring your opinions for anti-migrant sentiment. The police might not have enough resources to deal with shoplifting. They might not have solved a single theft or burglary, or recover a stolen bike, across a third of England. But we are to believe they have resources for what really counts: scrutinising your views for wrongthink. The current state of affairs is so absurd that simply writing it down feels almost subversive. But each element is true: we do appear to have flown unvetted Taliban members into Britain. The Government really will be watching your posts for signs of dissent. This isn't some accident, some Civil Service blunder. It's by design. It truly appears that Labour's strategy is to impose ever more restrictions on the freedoms of the law-abiding, in the hope that eventually people will acquiesce with a resigned shrug. The problem is that it isn't working. The population is fed up with being punished for doing the right thing. The hectoring about slavery, imperialism, war and all the other iniquities of history used to justify sacrificing our comforts and liberties on the altar of mass migration is no longer having the desired effect. British citizens living today did not build the empire. They didn't enslave anyone. Why should they foot the bill for housing illegal migrants up in four star hotels in central London? Why should they put up with them working in the shadow economy? Unfortunately for the Government, the previously silent majority is beginning to vocally express its frustration. MPs and ministers are fearful that the country is becoming a "tinderbox". But even this isn't enough to convince them that we must change course. Keir Starmer’s brain just malfunctioned. Reporter: "Trump makes it look easy dealing with illegal migration. You must be envious of his record in such a short period of time."

Instead, on August 1, 2025, the country's Legislative Assembly, dominated by President Nayib Bukele's New Ideas party, approved constitutional reforms that allow for indefinite presidential re-election, extend presidential terms from five to six years, and move the next presidential election from 2029 to 2027 to align it with legislative and municipal elections. The changes were passed with a vote of 57 in favor and 3 opposed, without debate or public consultation. President Bukele, who has been in power since 2019, was re-elected in February 2024 despite constitutional prohibitions on consecutive re-election, following a 2021 ruling by a Bukele-aligned Supreme Court that allowed him to run again. The recent reforms eliminate term limits entirely, enabling Bukele to seek re-election indefinitely. Critics, including opposition lawmakers and human rights organizations, have condemned the move, with some stating that "democracy has died in El Salvador". They argue that the reforms consolidate one-party rule and undermine democratic institutions, particularly given the context of Bukele’ Posted by: grokish at August 01, 2025 03:03 PM (jc0TO) 117 > 90 In Spanish or French, the standard of address for a man is Señor or Monsieur, roughly equivalent of m’lord.

This nibbling, now gulping by the EU at these corporations is getting to be a form of piracy. It is out of hand. Scuttle the bastards until they decide having everything go down, technology wise, is a losing game. The impacts on the EU economy would be devastating if the likes of The Google, Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, and others bailed. The EU has exactly zero ability to replace them and the EU honchos know this. Let them run the EU with quill pens. More realistically, they need to make it clear that everybody is ready to walk. Bullying, bludgeoning, throttling, refusing to renew/extend contracts - there are a lot tools there to wake these shits up. Odds on the EU would get is collective mind right with enough pressure. The US banned certain technologies from being transferred/sold in China. Nobody in the West died. So there is precedent for doing this.

Companies like Apple and Google have physical presence in the UK and almost all tech companies do business there in some form. Following foreigners laws and regs are a price of doing business there. Remedy is to give up on those markets. US does the same to foreign companies. There is established case law that foreigners are subject to US antitrust laws; it's called the "effects doctrine." Please don't get me wrong; I detest the anti-free speech laws. But they apply to everyone who does business in UK.

Western Europe, I mean. Much different story among the Slavs. Whether they're good cops or bad cops, American cops mean business. They're scary. If you have half a brain, you don't get crosswise with them. There is no deterrence factor with cops in Euroland. I literally couldn't believe it when I saw these people. They're soft, almost childlike. It's like looking at a kid playing dress up. I'm still mystified as to how Western European populations are governable in this manner. If we did a Mariel boatlift of American pro-quality thugs into Europe, their laws enforcement would be like wheat before a thresher.

There is much that can be done without firearms, and as I understand it, shotguns are common in the rural areas. Just as an example off the top of my head, a mob could set fire to the migrant hotels in the dead of night, and chain the doors. Then use the aforementioned shotguns on any that escape.

More to the point, can you think of one that deserved it more? This is completely backwards. The British Government has zero fear of the people of Britain. This is what Islam and Muslims do when they take over a country. They completely oppress everyone. When Islam/Muslims are in the minority, they cry victimhood and racism and "Islamophobia". And when they take over countries, as they have Britain/UK, they go into 100% oppression mode. Tyrants do not do what they do out of fear. They do it because they can. Because they have the power and they know no one can stop them. That's exactly what happened with COVID lockdowns and masks and "vaccines" and the stolen 2020 election and January 6th Deep State op and antifa riots and BLM riots, etc etc etc. You don't do any of that if you fear your opponents. You do that when you are sure your opponents are powerless to stop you. Posted by: Clyde Shelton at August 01, 2025 07:24 PM (P5BPp) Angry Boxed-Wine Connoisseur AWFL Says She's Totally Proud to Have Written the ICA and the "Steele Dossier" Might Be True A Brennan stooge named Susan Miller was recruited to write up RussiaGate "reports" which ultimately served as the foundation of the ICA that kicked off RussiaGate. Actually she claims to have written the ICA itself, which seems to be, what's the word, a lie. But more on that later. She has now re-emerged to claim that all of her sexless partisan fantasies about Trump and Putin might have, maybe, been halfway true. The retired CIA spy who says she led the team that helped draft the controversial 2016 U.S. intelligence community assessment on Russian election meddling has called Donald Trump a "dictator" and MAGA supporters "Nazis" -- and insists that the now-discredited Steele dossier "might be true." Susan Miller, a recently-retired CIA counterintelligence officer, has taken to social media and news media interviews in recent days to tell the story of how she was allegedly hand-picked by former CIA Director John Brennan to lead the team which helped draft the ICA in late 2016, gleefully exposing her anti-Trump sentiments. She has repeatedly suggested that Trump might be a "Russian asset" or a "Kremlin asset" without providing any evidence, despite recent reports showing that calmer, less politically-driven voices in the intelligence community at the time cast doubt on such allegations, but were squelched by Brennan. No proof, but it "might" be true? Miller has also repeatedly claimed in recent weeks that British ex-spy Christopher Steele's anti-Trump dossier might be true, despite the dossier having been thoroughly discredited for years now by a special prosecutor, congressional probes, and even the CIA itself. She has also claimed that some officials inside the CIA -- whom she refused to name -- had wanted her ICA team to declare that Trump's win was illegitimate due to Russian meddling. She has admitted that although the ICA did not come to that conclusion, she has suggested that her team may have been able to reach that finding if it had been able to poll every single voter to see if they had been swayed by Russian meddling. According to the University of California at Santa Barbara, 136,787,187 people voted in the 2016 election. Miller has also sent mixed messages, saying that the ICA team had found "no collusion" when they were writing their assessment in late 2016, and even claimed that this "no collusion" finding was made clear in the ICA. In fact, the ICA's major reference to collusion was a direct citation to a two-page annex on the Steele dossier. The 2016 ICA was written at the direction of President Barack Obama and largely overseen by Brennan, then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and since-fired FBI Director James Comey. It was finished in December 2016, with a publicly declassified version released in early January 2017 and a more extensive classified version declassified and released last week. ... Miller has also said she doesn't remember basic facts about the ICA timeline, including when Trump was first elected and when the CIA and her ICA team allegedly first received purportedly key intelligence about Putin's motivations. Miller even forgot whether the intelligence had come in before or after Trump's win. She also couldn't remember if the ICA team she says she led had access to intelligence on a personal directive from Putin himself or not. Miller decried Ratcliffe's lessons-learned review as a political hit job and claimed that none of it was true, before admitting that key allegations in Ratcliffe's report, including about Brennan insisting that the dossier be included in the ICA, were probably accurate. She doesn't remember much about the twisting of intelligence, but she is absolutely sure that all criticisms of it are invalid. ... Miller has used her LinkedIn account to repeatedly attack Trump since leaving the CIA last year. The New York Times wrote an article in May titled, "FBI Dismantles Elite Public Corruption Squad." Miller's response on LinkedIn? "This is awful! Further proof that Trump is a dictator." Miller also supported analogies between Trump and Adolf Hitler. An ABC News article from February said that "The Diplomatic Security Service is being targeted for firings. Why that matters: Analysis." A commenter from the United Kingdom said, "I'm just a Brit (you know, that little island off the coast of Europe that stood up to Hitler) but I have to say that harming DSS would be equivalent to shooting yourself in the foot." Miller replied, "Yes....the Hitler analogy is not lost on a bunch of us.....sadly...." Much more at the article. This woman is clearly a lunatic. She's also a liar. When JustTheNews contacted her to ask about her clear anti-Trump bias, she claimed she was actually a Republican who was "pro-Trump" and actually voted for Trump. She... voted for Trump in 2016? And then a month later wrote memos accusing him of being a Russian agent and a reincarnated Hitler? No, you're a liar and mentally unwell. If she "voted for Trump," then she did so in a primary because Democrats believed Trump would be easy to defeat in the general. She looks just like you'd expect: Not like a happy, pretty Republican woman who has good relations with men, but an angry, masculine wine-box-demolshing harpy whose husband decided he couldn't take her any longer so now she's going to get Revenge On ALL the Men. It even turns out that she's lying when she repeatedly claims to have written the ICA itself. She actually didn't. She's just resorting to that beloved tactic of leftwing power-mad women, Resume Padding. In response to last week's damning official document release about a now-infamous intelligence document that helped launch years of Russiagate madness, CNN wrote: Retired CIA official Susan Miller, an author of the agency's 2017 intelligence report on Russian election meddling... No, she's not. "Not an author. Not involved," says a senior intelligence official. "There's a chance she's on some emails or something like that," adds another person familiar with the investigation. "But she's not the author of the ICA... she wasn't leading this effort. So it's just totally bizarre that she claims the opposite." As if Russiagate weren't a weird enough story already, the sudden appearance of mysterious former CIA officer Susan Miller in a high-profile media campaign reduces the affair to a freak show. In a story about one of the most elaborate media frauds in history, in which the CIA used phony intelligence to prop up a rushed report insisting Russian President Vladimir Putin meddled in the 2016 election on behalf of Donald Trump, it's only fitting that the person leading the media defense of the original intelligence is not an author of the report in question and may not be significantly involved at all. In a detail Jonathan Swift might have written, Miller is set to receive the Hidden Hero Award in November from the International Spy Museum in Washington, given to the official who makes "outsized contributions to the intelligence community." Racket made multiple attempts to ask Miller about her role with the ICA. She did not respond. However, we were about to go to press when Joe MacKinnon of Blaze media excellently beat us to the punch on this story. MacKinnon received an amusing two-part response from Miller. First: My team and I at CIA wrote a CIA analysis about Russian influence on the election. Second: This was a CIA report, briefed to Trump by our then-director, and by me to the Senate and congressional intelligence committees. The DNI used that report as the basis for the ICA... I indeed did not write the ICA, but the ODNI used my report as the basis for theirs. That's not even a non-denial denial. It's an oops. Why lie? Well, all of these grifters now rely on partisan payoffs, and there's a big difference in the Grifter Potential between someone who just worked at the CIA during RussiaGate and someone who "wrote the ICA" accusing Trump of being a Soviet spy.

Prosecutors say Ihsan Ali and Zahraa Ali strangled the girl to try to kill her as revenge for her rejecting their plan to marry her off to an older Muslim man in their home country. The girl's parents disapproved of her living an American lifestyle and having an American boyfriend. They allegedly hunted her down after she ran away the day she was supposed to fly to Iraq. Neither of the parents speaks English, and both are being provided with an Arabic translator at trial. They were just acquitted. The judge refused to allow the prosecution to refer to an "honor killing", even though that is what it obviously was. I dearly hope that both of these parents are fast-tracked on a deportation flight back to Iraq.

Dear Susan, There are many shampoos on the market. I suggest, before your next TV appearance, to try one. It is called "washing your hair." Then there are these things called blow dryers. These are not perverted things, as you might think from the name as a closet lesbian. They dry your hair before setting on hot rollers. Also not perverted and an invitation to a lesbian convention in Vegas. Next: I would advise an eye hood lift, but that requires plastic surgery, pain, healing, brusing and you don't have time before tomorrow's tv show. There is tape that you could wear to hike up the hoodies. I doubt it is comfortable, but you could probably handle it along with those caterpillar fake eyelashes. I would not want to be around when you rip either off, however. Regarding your scowl and frowny mouth...did someone inject fillers wrong? Or were you born this way as if you were sucking on a lemon at birth? Are you constipated would be my first question. Colonic cleansing of the stars might work for this, and Gwennie approves.

The dollar figure of the deal is not yet known. Kamala Harris is reemerging with a new project: a book titled 107 Days, chronicling her brief and unsuccessful 2024 presidential bid. In a video message Thursday, the former vice president said, "I believe there's value in sharing what I saw, what I learned, and what I know it will take to move forward." She called the writing process one of "candor and reflection." The book's title refers to the 107-day sprint from President Joe Biden's sudden withdrawal from the race on July 21, 2024, to Election Day. Harris, who stepped in as the Democrat nominee, initially surged in the polls but failed to sustain that momentum. She ultimately lost to President Donald Trump--both in the Electoral College and in the popular vote, breaking a two-decade streak for Democrats. Harris said the campaign was "high-stakes and deeply personal," and that she's spent considerable time "reflecting on those days." Rumors of a book deal had circulated for months. CNN reported Thursday that the upcoming publication influenced Harris's decision not to pursue the California governorship, a race in which she was widely expected to be a top contender. Stephen Colbert had this dweebcel politician on his show (of course). I have constantly written about Kamala Harris's constant complaint -- when she fails, she claims that other people -- usually white men -- have "failed to position her for success." She proves with every utterance that she is nothing but an overpromoted DEI hire. Who else would expect everyone else to do her homework for her but a DEI hire who is endlessly promoted based not on performance but simply for her mere existence? You can hear that again in her whining on the Colbert show. You see, the system is "broken." The evidence that it's broken is that the country didn't just give this Proud Woman of Color the win she was entitled to based simply on existing. Pop Base @PopBase Kamala Harris tells Stephen Colbert she decided not to run for Governor of California because the system is broken: "For now, I don't wanna go back in the system. I think it's broken. [...] I always believed that as fragile as our democracy is, our systems would be strong enough to defend our most fundamental principles and I think right now, they're not as strong as they need to be." A DEI hire finally reached a level of incompetence that caused people to say "No, you've depleted your allotment of Social Promotions," and it's the fault of "democracy" and "our systems" and "most fundamental principles." Nick Sortor @nicksortor In the MOST amount of words possible, Kamala Harris admits President Trump BROKE her, which is why she doesn't want to run for Governor of California "The system's broken... so I don't wanna go back into the system." She just GAVE UP Donors were skeptical of donating again to Kamala Harris. One said she "lacked fire in the belly," that is, she didn't seem like she really wanted to run for governor. Or president. She is basically acknowledging that by saying "I don't wanna go back into the system." Even if she attempts to un-retire from politics, donors will take this quote as confirming that she lacks "fire in the belly" and would just be running for the sake of appearances and to fill her bank accounts. So even if she didn't intend it, this marks her official retirement from elective politics. Today is a good day. The Trump Curse continues posting W after W. In the MOST amount of words possible, Kamala Harris admits President Trump BROKE her, which is why she doesn’t want to run for Governor of California “The system’s broken… so I don’t wanna go back into the system.” She just GAVE UP 🤣 pic.twitter.com/AXDBG4vSMz — Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) August 1, 2025 What the world saw on the campaign trail was only part of the story.

BREAKING: Former President Joe Biden walks onto the stage and gets LOST at the National Bar Association Gala. He is NOT doing okay... pic.twitter.com/abHSCh0Jwu — The Patriot Oasis™ (@ThePatriotOasis) August 1, 2025 Stephen Colbert also had on Democrat Senator and ex-CIA wannabe girlboss Elissa Slotkin, because of course he did. That's what audiences want to see -- dweeby, plain-faced drab Democrat drulls. Slotkin presents herself as a CIA girl boss, but having been an analyst in the Iraq war is a freaking punchline. No intel agency in history every turned in a worse performance. Why doesn't some interviewer ask her to speak in Arabic? She claims to be fluent -- another joke https://t.co/1ayTTxYGDE — Seth Harp (@sethharpesq) August 1, 2025 She wants to assure you that her fellow gonzo communist subversives in the CIA are just "good, corn fed" defenders of the republic. And if they attempt to topple the duly-elected president of the United States in a coup, well, they're just doing that for you. Tom Elliott @tomselliott Former CIA analyst @ElissaSlotkin tells Colbert: "This idea that there's some network of people that are running the world, it doesn't really match reality ... The way that Trump is going after them is particularly -- first of all, it's nasty. Second of all, it's completely counter to our interests to be demoralizing the people that are protecting us." By the way, "Corn Fed" usually describes a blond, blue-eyed Scandanavian-descended midwestern farmboy who is healthy and robust due to eating his own farm's corn in between doing heavy physical work. In other words: She's promoting racial eugenics and Nazi fascism. But that's okay because she's using eugenic-appeal to prop up the Deep State coupists. She blew off an important Senate vote. She fake-apologized for blowing off the vote... while failing to admit what Very Important Mission required that absence. She skipped out on the vote to go on Colbert's cancelled show, of course.

Posted by: rhennigantx at August 01, 2025 12:31 PM (gbOdA) Someone needs to write a book titled the DEI Principle. Describing how unqualified minority individuals are given jobs, then promoted regardless of abilities and performance. Promoted until their incompetence damages and wasted salary dollars exceed their DEI value. Then the employer finally begins working hard to dump them. After a brave company or corporation manager finally finds a way to fire them or lay them off, they are indignant and file a discrimination lawsuit against their former employers.

She obviously can't say "I went with my hat in my hand to the Party and asked them for the viceroyalty Newsom is about to vacate in California, but they just told me to go the fuck away and quit bothering them." So she'll spout the requisite platitudes, cash in on the book, and also collect a lifetime supply of hush money to keep quiet about the backroom assrape of American democracy that put her in the WH and a subsequent Presidential run. I'm sure she's thrilled for this all to be over - she's a wine soaked semen demon whose bedroom antics carried her far beyond what her younger self would have ever dared to think possible.

My favorite sweatshirt of all time is my Kamala period sweatshirt. Every time that I wear it, it reminds me of the feeling of a warm hug. It's a great shirt. The book should be very interesting. (Kamala finally RECEIVING blowjobs!) The system's been broken since 2000. But instead of acknowledging it and facing a constitutional crisis, everybody chose to keep on going. Now, it is in shambles and there's gonna be hell to pay. It's what she's not saying that's screaming to me. She knows something. Colbert didn't dream of asking why her campaign did not request recounts for the protection of the system. Unfortunately it is too late. History has been rewritten and this country will pay the price. My guess, she was threatened and decided to let it go. We are paying the price. It doesn’t look hopeful for our children. She could also just be bone-deep weary. Harris put her heart and soul into that campaign. Her loss -- for whatever reason -- had to be a body blow. It was for me, just as an ordinary citizen voting for her.

Thanks (yet again) to the election of Donald Trump and his appointment of Lee Zeldin as EPA Administrator, the Environmental Protection Agency has announced that it is implementing actions to rescind the 2009 “Endangerment Finding.” As explained by our friends at The Heartland Institute in a press release this week: The Supreme Court case Massachusetts v. EPA in 2007 authorized the EPA to regulate greenhouse gases if the agency made the determination that global warming harms human health. In an appearance on the Ruthless Podcast this week, Zeldin said reversing the Endangerment Finding would be the “most significant deregulatory action in U.S. history.” In other words, our rulers in robes at the Supreme Court decreed in 2007 that if the EPA were to determine that global warming, caused by “greenhouse gases,” endangers health, then the governing mechanisms of the United States that are found in the Constitution could be suspended. Thereafter, the EPA could assume command-and-control regulatory powers over every aspect of economic activity, so long as those activities involved “greenhouse gases.” Coincidentally, when you breathe, you are exhaling CO2, a “greenhouse gas.” Conveniently enough, once Barack Obama became President in 2009, his EPA promptly ruled that “greenhouse gases in the atmosphere threaten the public health and welfare of current and future generations.” This became known as the “Endangerment Clause.” This clause took specific aim at gasoline powered cars in stating that “greenhouse gases from new motor vehicles and new motor vehicle engines contribute to the greenhouse gas pollution that threatens public health and welfare.” The Endangerment Clause was the moment when the climate cult started worshiping electric vehicles, and regulators started working to mandate them. July 29, 2025 was the date that Donald Trump and Lee Zeldin put a stop to the madness. “EPA Releases Proposal to Rescind Obama-Era Endangerment Finding, Regulations that Paved the Way for Electric Vehicle Mandates” [EPA Press Office – 7/29/2025] U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin released the agency’s proposal to rescind the 2009 Endangerment Finding, which has been used to justify over $1 trillion in regulations, including the Biden-Harris Administration’s electric vehicle (EV) mandate. If finalized, the proposal would repeal all resulting greenhouse gas emissions regulations for motor vehicles and engines, thereby reinstating consumer choice and giving Americans the ability to purchase a safe and affordable car for their family while decreasing the cost of living on all products that trucks deliver. “With this proposal, the Trump EPA is proposing to end sixteen years of uncertainty for automakers and American consumers,” said EPA Administrator Zeldin. “In our work so far, many stakeholders have told me that the Obama and Biden EPAs twisted the law, ignored precedent, and warped science to achieve their preferred ends and stick American families with hundreds of billions of dollars in hidden taxes every single year.” This is a joyous moment. There is more work to do, but Trump and Zeldin have proved that they relish the battle. Rather than come up with my own closing summary, I am simply going to quote Research Fellow Linnea Lueken from that same Heartland press release. “The obsession over a trace gas is absurd, antiscientific, and has led to pain for Americans in the form of higher energy bills, overregulation of appliances, agriculture, and more. Basically, the Endangerment Finding gave unaccountable government agencies the ability to have a say over whatever they wanted, since every human activity results in the production of carbon dioxide. It never should have happened. The government should never have tried regulating a gas essential for life in the first place.” [buck.throckmorton at protonmail dot com] Posted by: Buck Throckmorton at 11:00 AM Comments (Jump to bottom of comments) 1 H.Hola Posted by: Thanatopsis at August 01, 2025 11:00 AM (GYt5+) 2 Woohoo!!

Thereafter, the EPA could assume command-and-control regulatory powers over every aspect of economic activity, so long as those activities involved “greenhouse gases.” Coincidentally, when you breathe, you are exhaling CO2, a “greenhouse gas.” --- See, it's their successive distortion of words and concepts that is the real plan.

It is the office of the judges that they can reinterpret what was passed under the "will of the people" to deny the will of the people. But the American style of government is about the Will of the People, NOT the interpretation of judges. This is why judges need to be slapped back into their place.

Posted by: JackStraw at August 01, 2025 11:11 AM (viF8m) 42 If scotus ruled they can do this, how does the admin undo that ruling? SCOTUS ruled that - if the EPA said that CO2 was an existential threat - then, and only then, could the EPA control everything. It therefore follows that - if the EPA pulls and Emily Litella - then their power to control everything is removed. A bigger concern is that the existing SCOTUS ruling provides a mechanism for a future Democrat EPA to restore the ruling and then enact even more draconian restrictions to make up for lost time. The only way to overcome that would be for Congress to get off its collective ass and do their fucking job. So we're doomed.

This should have helped, as I did make an effort for the future. Regarding the EPA and DDT: I was known to frequently ride my bike (on the sidewalk!) weekly in the clouds of poison. It was awesome! My mother's only rule was to stay on the sidewalk. This was as much of a summer event for us as the ice cream truck when we lived in town, altho I don't recall them both at the same time...which would have blown my mind in the joys of summer!

And, Lo, Gaia spake and said, "I can handle naturally occurring CO2 but even a single molecule more will shift my balance and cause me to erupt in flame." 2. And the people spake and said, "But what about when there's a volcano eruption which, in a single day, spews out ten times the CO2 that humans produce in a year?" 3. And Gaia spake and said, "What part of 'naturally occurring CO2' do you not understand? I can handle an unlimited amount as long as it's naturally occurring - or produced by the elite - but you should probably just die." This ends our reading.

Max. = 5.74, min. = 3.15. Separation of daytime from nighttime measurements revealed that carbon dioxide levels are lower during the day than at night. Daytime mean = 3.38, max. = 5.4, min. 3.15; nighttime mean = 4.32, max. = 5.74, min. = 3.21.

Water pollution is so severe that "don't drink" notices are frequently issued, water taps in public toilets are coin-operated and household water filters are popular. Air pollution has reached the point that people in urban areas cannot go outside without "filtermasks". Such fumes left behind by aircraft cause air sickness in planes trailing behind. California is blanketed by a thick layer of smog that prevents the sun from shining through. Acid rain forces people to cover themselves in plastic so that their clothes are not ruined. The sea has become so polluted and the beaches so strewn with garbage that Americans now vacation in the mountains. Environmentally-minded people drive electric or "steam cars" with clean exhaust, but these in turn become target of their haters.

Norway has already sequestered hundreds of thousands of tons of CO2 and injected it into the empty oil wells in the North Sea. The same people who believe "The Butterfly Effect" is real simultaneously lecture that removing hundreds of thousands of tons of CO2 from the natural environment is a victory for the environment. Now let's all watch as trees across the planet die and crop yeilds drop from the lack of CO2, and the greens tell us it is climate change and industrialiation. Posted by: Darth Chipmunk at August 01, 2025 11:10 AM (m0WlR) The earth itself sequesters carbon the time. Coal and limestone are sequestered carbon. CO2 can be used as a miscible flood to help extract the last bit of oil from a reservoir. And that oil, when burned, replaces the CO2 used to extract it.

During the last hour that the Committee spent screaming at each other in the upper floor of the Hotel de Ville about who's fault it was and how to recover their power, Robespierre had half his jaw shot off, either from a botched suicide or being shot by one of the other members, perhaps Saint-Just. When they were captured, Robespierre was left on a table over night with his face wrapped in a bandanna on the theory that they were going to execute him in the morning why bother? He moaned all the way to the guillotine and the only reaction he had prior to his execution was when the bandanna which had stuck to the wound through clotted blood was stripped from his face.

Majority reasoning is that anything that goes into the air is a pollutant. Posted by: MikeN at August 01, 2025 01:34 PM (HVZOH) 405 Interesting regarding Massachusetts v. EPA (2007). Via Grok: Massachusetts v. EPA (2007) was a 5-4 decision where the Supreme Court ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has the authority to regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act and that it must do so unless it provides a reasonable explanation for not acting. The majority opinion, written by Justice Stevens, held that greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide fit the Act’s definition of "air pollutants" and that Massachusetts had standing to sue due to harms like rising sea levels from climate change. The dissent, led by Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Scalia, argued the state lacked standing and that the EPA’s discretion was broader. Your take reflects a view that the decision was politically driven, which aligns with criticisms from some conservative scholars and justices who saw it as judicial overreach. The majority’s mandate for EPA action was contentious, as it effectively pushed the agency to regulate despite its initial reluctance, citing uncertainty about climate science and policy priorities. The dissenters argued this usurped executive discretion and stretched standing doctrine.

For example, it referenced potential rises of 20 feet or more in the long term if major ice sheets like Greenland or Antarctica melted substantially.

Posted by: She Hobbit at August 01, 2025 10:16 AM (ftFVW) 125 Little Known Muldoon Factoid #473 In the late Renaissance Period the conch shell had a special prominence in society and was thought to symbolize health and longevity. The spiral configuration of the shell evoked a sense of eternity. Conch shells were used as adjuncts in portraits as a sort of. token of good luck. This is in stark contrast to the similar placement of skulls in various artwork of the era, symbolizing death and foreboding. Ir was widely believed that if you stared at the shell with deep focus you could make yourself go cross-eyed permanently.

So sad.!! But one thing in the article caught my eye. They said ICE deportations are up 300% this year vs last year in Colorado. And I’m like wait only 300%? During Biden’s years there were no virtually zero deportations and especially in deep blue states like Colorado where every city is a sanctuary city. 300% increase from a really low number doesn’t sound that impressive.

You retards are essentially telling Israel that every few years they have to accept terror raids into their territory and rapes and murders of their citizens in terror raids and that they can do nothing to stop it because Hamas is just allowed to do that. Fuck off. (Side note: this reminds me exactly of the picture of the SV guy executing that vietcong guy. The story behind that picture is that that VC had been part of raiding parties specifically targeting the civilian families of south Vietnamese guys. Just that day. So, fuck Hamas.)

He claimed that Trump just said this and that he was "worried" that Trump was losing his mental capacities. Wow. Needless to say, I won't ride with him again.

And welcome to August. The big story this morning is or at least should be, no not Sydney Sweeney's impressive décolletage nor even L'affaire" Epstein but the unshocking and unsurprising to you who are regular readers of this blog or otherwise aware of what's really going on, revelations by Tulsi Gabbard, Pam Bondi and Kash Patel of the verifiable plot to sabotage the campaign and then presidency of Donald Trump from 2016 right up until the present day by a cabal either led by or approved of by Obama, Hillary Clinton and Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants involving some or all of the leadership of the American intelligence and law enfacement community that cooked up evidence via the so-called Steele Dossier that implicated Trump with Russian president Vladimir Putin to steal the 2016 election. And now that Trump's team is exposing it and at least making the right noises about going after Brennan, Comey, Clapper et al, the traitorous rats are rearing up on their haunches and bearing their fangs while spouting the execrable hypocrisy that it is they that are being persecuted by Trump who is get this, politicizing and using the intelligence community as get this "Political footballs." It is to both laugh and vomit. Discussing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s accusations of “treasonous conspiracy”, Brennan said, “So what they do is they misrepresent the facts, mischaracterize what is said, and then claim that we were engaged in this big conspiracy.” Brennan said, “It’s so unfortunate that partizan politics has now seeped into the highest levels of the intelligence community. And that’s why I think it’s important for us to continue to speak out, and trying to at least push out information about what actually did happen back in 2016 and what can continue to happen if we still ignore what the Russians do with our elections. ” If there is a God in Heaven, surely John Brennan would be hanging from a noose for treason, until his eyeballs shot out of his commie pin-head like champagne corks. Real justice would be going back 40 odd years and finding every last individual at the CIA who cleared this hideous piece of shit and approved of his being hired in the first place. Dead or alive, they need to pay the piper for inflicting him on us. You may recall that in the run-up to 2016, Hillary Clinton was known to have had what amounted to a server farm up at her home in Chappaqua where she stored thousands of classified files and documents during her tenure as Obama's secretary of state, no doubt in my mind that she, like Biden, was trading in state secrets with foreign governments including our rivals and enemies for cash. According to the declassified files, Clinton personally approved a plan proposed by her foreign policy advisor, Julianne Smith, to “smear Donald Trump by magnifying the scandal tied to the intrusion by the Russian special services in the pre-election process to benefit the Republican candidate.” Smith was later appointed to serve as Ambassador to NATO under [so-called quote-unquote] President Joe Biden. One stunning email written by Open Society Foundations Senior Vice President Leonard Bernardo, dated July 27, 2016, stated: “HRC [Hillary Clinton] approved Julia’s [sic] idea about Trump and Russian hackers hampering U.S. elections. That should distract people from her own missing email, especially if the affair goes to the Olympic level.” You will recall that on the campaign trail, when no one could find, nor had any interest in finding 33,000 of her e-mails that had gone missing, candidate Donald Trump quipped to the press that, paraphrasing "Maybe the KGB will have better luck in finding the missing e-mails!" And as Rush Limbaugh of blessed memory noted, that one obvious joke was transmogrified by the Democrats and their propaganda media allies as proof positive that Trump was colluding with Putin to steal the 2016 election. And the rest is a nightmare of history the echoes of which we are dealing with this very day, and will likely be dealing with well into the future. As I fear, and judging from the top to bottom corruption that began long before Brennan, because Brennan's Comey's Clapper's and all the other co-conspirators' careers could only have been launched because of corrupt individuals that preceded them by years or even decades. And also because of the understandable fear of the political and even personal consequences of trying to prosecute these traitors, especially Clinton and even Obama, They will all go unpunished for sure if they are even prosecuted in the first place. Sadly this incident and the traitorous evil manifests itself elsewhere, as this next waking nightmare of a story illustrates: The group responsible for training Massachusetts police officers listed a prominent parental rights group alongside Antifa and neo-Nazis on its list of “hate groups.” The Massachusetts Municipal Police Training Committee, which trains more than 20,000 police officers across the commonwealth, listed Moms for Liberty under “Hate Groups” active in Massachusetts in training materials, which were shared exclusively with The Daily Wire. The bitterly ironic thing as you might have noted is that ANTIFA are the neo-Nazis! Frankly, I'm rather shocked they are listed as a so-called "hate group" considering they are supposedly "anti-fascist" (regardless of the actual real-world definition of that term). Of course the alleged watchdog organizations themselves like the ACLU and SPLC are themselves the tip of the spear as it were as politicized entities used to suppress, slime and smear anyone or anything that poses a threat to the Anti-American globalists/leftist counter revolution. Yet again for the umpteenth time, Trump's own observation rings true at a volume that could shatter glass: "They're not after me, the truth is, they're after you! I'm just standing in their way." And to underscore all of the above: This May 16, 2016 quote from Nancy Pelosi has haunted me: “Donald Trump is not going to be President of the United States. Take it to the bank, I guarantee it.” Not only about that election but fast forward four years. What did she know about the events of January 6th 2021 and when did she know it?! The same FBI/DoJ and CIA that engineered Russian collusion had a slew of agents provocateur in the crowds that came to peacefully protest the Democrat-rigged-and-stolen 2020 election, on and around Capitol Hill as Congress met to certify or not the Electoral College results. Pelosi, as Speaker of the House was in charge of the Capitol PD and days before denied President Trump's request to call out the National Guard to help beef up security. In the event, as we all know two unarmed women Ashli Babbitt and Roseanne Boyland lost their lives at the hands of a Capitol PD officer and other security forces that Pelosi commanded directly or indirectly. What she knew in 2016 directly leads to what happened that horrible day in 2021, the blood libel and mythologies still percolating in the minds of the political class as well as the brainwashed pea-brains of leftists. And as Donald Trump continues to bamboozle and steamroll the leftists and advance his and OUR agenda forward, the Left reacts with both hack-in-black judicial decrees and molotov cocktails. That is why Brennan et al must at the barest of bare minimums be totally exposed if, as I fear, they are to go unpunished, at least in this life. And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know. Have a great Weekend!

Howie Carr was on, and while I can only take him for limited periods of time, the broadcast news at the top and bottom of the hour breathless reported... 2.6% inflation numbers and shaky economic data that "plunged" the markets. I looked and the DOW closed down something like 33 points yesterday - not even a drop worth mentioning. But the news readers were breathlessly announcing this supposed terrible economic data like it was the most exciting thing they've ever read off of the sheet. It sickened me and put me in a foul mood. Posted by: Defenestratus at August 01, 2025 07:28 AM (WYStd) 5 “Donald Trump is not going to be President of the United States.

The city worked with Goodwill Industries to renovate an old strip mall with a number of do-gooder entities. After complaining for years about the “food desert”, there is a Goodwill grocery store. I visited and found that they do have a good section of fresh fruits and vegetables. I then visited the “Food King” directly across the street and bought a few cans of vegetables. They don’t have any fresh vegetables, but I wonder what the little glass pipes in the display case are used for? Guess who pays taxes and who doesn’t. Oh, and there is a Family Dollar two doors down from the Goodwill store. Posted by: Fenderbender at August 01, 2025 07:40 AM (1FEc1) 16 Good morning, J.J. Good morning, Horde.

[...] This intention is predicated on the Palestinian Authority's commitment to much-needed reforms, including the commitments by Palestinian Authority President Abbas to fundamentally reform its governance, to hold general elections in 2026 in which Hamas can play no part, and to demilitarize the Palestinian state. Canada will increase its efforts in supporting strong, democratic governance in Palestine and the contributions of its people to a more peaceful and hopeful future. Posted by: andycanuck at August 01, 2025 07:52 AM (2yoRf) 36 We reiterate that Hamas must immediately release all hostages taken in the horrific terrorist attack of October 7; that Hamas must disarm; and that Hamas must play no role in the future governance of Palestine. Canada will always steadfastly support Israel's existence as an independent state in the Middle East living in peace and security. Any path to lasting peace for Israel also requires a viable and stable Palestinian state, and one that recognizes Israel's inalienable right to security and peace. Canada has already committed over $340 million in humanitarian aid to address the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, including $30 million in new funding to help address the needs of Palestinian civilians and $10 million to support the Palestinian Authority's role in stabilizing and governing the West Bank.

He was very insistent and matter of fact. It’s a done deal. “He’s going to be the next president. They are dirty AF. Oh, his wife wants to be president someday too, she’s worse.” It was weird then, and even weirder as events unfolded. Always wondered what he knew and how that came to be.

It's all within 5 years, so their only hope is to establish, somehow, that there was no intent, this was all good faith, the old, "mistakes were made" excuse.

No rhyme or reason for this. Logan, M.D. They're the US' largest customer due to proximity. They literally have no other option and talked themselves right into these tariffs. If they even attempted to buy the same goods elsewhere they'd be paying upwards of 30%+ just to get the products to Canada. Good luck, clowns. Max Proulx Your neighbours must love you… why not have a mutually beneficial trade relationship. Canada has 10x less people how do you want them to buy for more that the US? Logan, M.D. >Canada has 10x less people Which means you clearly have no leverage so there was never a reason to pretend you did. Stupid on your/ Canada's part and now you're paying the price. >mutually beneficial We have no obligation to beneficial anything, you're just on the losing end. Logan, M.D. Canada wont even commit troops to fight in our conflicts. They're borderline as bad as Israel. Puff out your chest with no real power then bitch and whine when you lose.

Because the media outlets that they control say that they are? They’re still quite large, but they’re dying. Big things like that take a while to die.

This is their baby. It isn’t an organic grass roots thing. It is engineered. The 1960s “youth movement”, the L.S.D. in particular, was deployed by the spooks.

It's Worse Than Imagined. ...the Supreme Court expressly permitted the government to begin “developing and issuing public guidance about the executive’s plans to implement” Trump’s order. Acting on that decision, an immigration agency released the first stage of its “implementation plan” last Friday. It shocks the conscience. There is no indication that the government will provide some grace period before snatching up and imprisoning this new underclass of noncitizen babies; they are apparently subject to arrest from the moment of birth. Just read the EO. With a reasonable SCOTUS, it would never stand up. But now - who the fuck knows? I hope they will see now nonsensical Trump's argument is. If the parents aren't subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, I'm now sure how we have any authority over them (for criminal matters, for example). how would the SC permit such a massive change without any congressional approval? I didn’t realize this much power would exist solely with the executive branch, overturning decades of interpretation of the fourteenth amendment.

I think there is a big misunderstanding of what exactly a Special Counsel is and can do. Unlike and Independent Counsel, which no longer exists, a Special Counsel operates just like an ordinary US Attorney only with a specific case instead of a region. It must be a person that was previously confirmed by the Senate, like Mueller and Durham were and not just a private citizen which is why Jack Smith was eventually tossed. They report to the AG and Deputy AG. In the case of Durham when his report came out that was Garland and Lisa Monaco. They get the final say in what will be released to Congress and the public not the Special Counsel. If you don't remember go look at the shit fit Democrats threw when Barr censored parts of Mueller's report. Same thing, for different reasons, likely happened here. Last night Paul Sperry claimed he had multiple sources claiming it was Monaco who censored Durham's report.

If it continues we will get a rate cut. Too late to really help. The only positive is once we settle the tariffs the longer range situation has good potential.

"And that’s why I think it’s important for us to continue to speak out, and trying to at least push out information about what actually did happen ... and what can continue to happen..." Unsaid, in my mind, "... if we hang tough, keep up the distractions, and wait them out once more." They've come from all sides to radically change our political landscape. For instance, VP Biden hanging at Penn State University where the Prof. Michael Mann, a climatologist and professor of atmospheric science, was for many years. (Professor Michael Mann sued Mark Steyn and others for defamation in 2012. Mann is now at U of P, following Biden.) NBC News, 9 Nov. 2020, 'Environmentalists say Biden's win was 'crucial' for climate progress. Now what?' If Republicans keep control of the Senate, there may be challenges ahead as Biden tries to turn his plans into action. Also, university divestment campaigns targeting oil and gas companies emerged in the early 2010s when students at Swarthmore College (PA) are credited with launching the first fossil fuel divestment campaign.

The Universal logo from the Thirties with the prop airplane flying -- at an orbital height! -- around the turning Earth? Must have been really startling to movie audiences the first time they saw that. Lousy-ana has a new law that goes into effect today: no cell phone use or texting while driving. No, it's not government's proper function to be micro-managing its citizens like that, but maybe it will keep lousy driving down to the level it was before the toy phones came along. The other new "driving" law: No driving in the left lane unless you are passing or getting ready to turn. I don't know if that applies only to highways or to two-lane roads, though. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at August 01, 2025 05:17 AM (omVj0) 31 Posted by: Quarter Twenty at August 01, 2025 05:07 AM (XQo4F) Thanks 😊 Posted by: FenelonSpoke at August 01, 2025 05:17 AM (2GCMq) 32 Okay, the left-lane law applies to multi-lane roads like highways and the Interstate. Unfortunately they are doing the micro-manage thing, saying even one mile an hour under the speed limit can incur the fine. Well, since nearly everybody drives ten or more mph over the limit anyway, I guess it's not something I need to worry too much about.

Pay no attention to the talking tree stumps that infest the forest of the Internet. They are not worth notice. And good morning to the rest of you. I'm up early for some reason, waking from a dream where I'm being interviewed by some journalist about how I came to love The Man From U.N.C.L.E. TV show. Surreal stuff, as dreams tend to be. So, it's coffee until time to feed the furry thugs and then take my own exercise.

Posted by: Puddleglum at work at August 01, 2025 05:25 AM (BW+Gb) 36 Greetings and good morning, one and all. It's a much nicer day here in the GPROMD owed to the fact that the major storm that swept through yesterday really cooled us off. Sure, we had one dog in a state of panic and one who will bark at the thunderstorm to drive it off but it went well. I made it to my orthopedic appointment half an hour early so they were willing to see me early. End result: Definitely a sprain in the PCL, I've lost cartilage and it stinks getting older. He drained the knee of 30 CCs of fluid and gave me a cortisone shot. I have a new baseline on what painful means.

Mostly I do that on Saturdays, but tomorrow I have a haircut appointment, so to avoid being rushed I'll tackle it today. The new Aldi opened five minutes' walk away. Miss L. got herself up and was in line at 7:15 to get in the door at 9:00. She won't get up that early to go out to breakfast, oh, no; but to stand in line in the heat to get a few freebies or heavily discounted goodies, no problem. ???? Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at August 01, 2025 05:41 AM (omVj0) 55 PA enacted a "no phone use at all while driving" thing recently. Which i feel like has been a thing for a while, except now it's "and we really mean it". Jersey went on a rampage pulling people over for distracted driving a few years ago. Honestly, I can't even be that upset. Set your navigation and your playlist up before you head out. If something's so important you can't wait a couple minutes to reply to somebody, then it's important enough to pull in somewhere for a second.

Posted by: Quarter Twenty at August 01, 2025 * I'm pretty sure my 2016 will pair up with the phone . . . but I have never bothered with it. If I need an address that badly, I'll pull over and consult the phone. Same if it rings while I'm driving. Nothing can be so important that it should distract me from watching out for the crazy drivers here. Yes, I know, fiddling with the radio is a distraction, but a quick press of an onscreen preset button changes the radio station and I'm done.

Posted by: Quarter Twenty at August 01, 2025 * The Aldis here usually have only one manned checkout, but it's rarely that slow; the staffer is quick. My only real complaint is that they open late (for me), nine am. It would be so much better if they opened at eight or even seven like Walmart. Come to think of it, I need to visit one today to pick up a pizza for our Friday night dinner. Their "Philly Cheese Steak" pizza is quite good. The one by my house will have higher sales tax because of its location, but the convenience may offset that.

Posted by: fluffy at August 01, 2025 05:54 AM (AN2gy) 66 Yesterday I wanted to load the pics of my most recent vintage pipe purchase onto my phone, instead of the usual phone pic-to-computer routine. I figured it would work in reverse, and it will. But the pics (as usual from that vendor's website) were in .webp format, and Mac's Preview wouldn't display them; and I suspected the phone would not either. So I looked up how to do a screen shot on a Mac, opened each pic in a Brave browser tab, saved the screen shots as .jpgs and renamed them, and then Bluetoothed the pics to the phone.

Posted by: Boz Skaggs at August 01, 2025 06:03 AM (XQo4F) 71 Tech related, I suppose: I just realized how AI has completely taken over as the Meme, and now nobody even remembers how to spell "Nanotechnology". Everything was going to be solved by nanobots, nanomachines, nanothis, nanothat. Now it's a big yawn and new savior of our species is delusional chatbots. Once upon a time, some clever inventor would find a pressing need in the world at large and create entire new fields of science and mathematics just to solve that problem. How do we figure out how much to plant or when to harvest? How do we keep track of time precisely? How do we communicate long distances? How do we drop a cannonball on a gnat's pinky finger from three countries away? Now it's almost like the process is in reverse. A diffuse clique of government funded boffins at universities comes up with some incredibly obscure thing that no one ever asked for, and then people who want to make a buck spend a decade or so trying to hype the general population into thinking that Incredibly Obscure Thing No One Asked For is the cure for all that ails them.

I’m surprised you didn’t pick that one. https://youtu.be/gAjR4_CbPpQ The animated music video for "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" was produced by Daft Punk and directed by Kazuhisa Takenouchi, director for Toei Animation, under the supervision of Leiji Matsumoto. It features the four alien characters shown on the single cover in a vast electronic facility. There, they are cosmetically changed by various machines to resemble humans, and have their memories replaced. The video was first released as an individual episode in promotion for the single release. It later appeared as a scene in the feature film Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem.

Posted by: m at August 01, 2025 07:06 AM (aURVT) 133 Yesterday I wanted to load the pics of my most recent vintage pipe purchase onto my phone, instead of the usual phone pic-to-computer routine. I figured it would work in reverse, and it will. But the pics (as usual from that vendor's website) were in .webp format, and Mac's Preview wouldn't display them; and I suspected the phone would not either. So I looked up how to do a screen shot on a Mac, opened each pic in a Brave browser tab, saved the screen shots as .jpgs and renamed them, and then Bluetoothed the pics to the phone.

Posted by: m at August 01, 2025 08:13 AM (aURVT) Look AT Me, I'm ONT Welcome to the MLB trade deadline ONT. In case you missed it, earlier there were some pretty intense trade discussions between the Blue Jays and the Cardinals. Well, That's Horrifying Baby girl grows ‘micropenis’ after lying on her dad’s chest A baby girl in Sweden reportedly sprouted a “micropenis” after lying on her father’s bare chest — turning a tender bonding moment into a bizarre biological blunder. And she’s not the only one. A Swedish doctor is sounding the alarm, warning she’s seen at least half a dozen similar cases in children. Here’s what you need to know to make sure your child isn’t next. Often referred to as “kangaroo care,” skin-to-skin contact is a common practice used to strengthen the bond between newborns and parents while supporting healthy early development. But in this case, that sweet ritual took a strange turn. After her birth, the Swedish baby girl was repeatedly placed on her father’s bare chest — the same area where he had applied testosterone gel. The baby's skin absorbed the hormone, and her genitals began to change. Yikes! No Nice Things The Primary Reason People in Blue States Can't Have Nice Things The late, great conservative humorist P.J. O'Rourke said of socialism, "To grasp the true meaning of socialism, imagine a world where everything is designed by the post office, even the sleaze." P.J. hated socialism because no one was in charge of anything. The "government" rarely "governed" anything except that which could be manipulated into benefitting the governing elite. The rest was farmed out to the "non-profit/industrial complex," which doesn't care about maintaining what it's managing because there's no incentive to do so. Think about Zohran Mamnani's "government-run grocery stores." Chicago "studied" the matter, paying a non-profit group that paid a for-profit consultant company, which determined it wouldn't work. The only "city-run" grocery store in the country is in Kansas City. The problem is that it's not run by the city. It's run by a for-profit subsidiary that needs gobs of cash from the city to stay open. Hint: It's the lack of accountability. Idiot Break Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! pic.twitter.com/2zGN2h9ic6 — ONT WTF (@OntWtf) August 1, 2025 News From The World Of Archaeology A New Statue Suddenly Appeared on Easter Island. Just when experts thought they knew every moai on Rapa Nui, otherwise known as Easter Island, a dried-up lakebed kept them on their toes. These statues—largely made of a stone formed from volcanic ash and dust called tuff—pepper the island, with more than 1,000 already found and logged. Finding a new one came as a surprise. And a bit of a mystery. “We think we know all the moai, but then a new one turns up, a new discovery, and in this case, in the lake, at the statue quarry,” Terry Hunt, professor of archeology at the University of Arizona, told Good Morning America. “There have been no moai found in the dry bed or in what was previously a lake, so this is a first.” Huh. I would have thought they'd have found them all by now. The Shopping Cart Question Why Don't People Return Their Shopping Carts? While some supermarkets are better than others, it's probably not unusual to find a few stray shopping carts littering the parking lot to the dismay of shoppers who may think that a parking spot is open, only to find that it's actually being used by a shopping cart. It seems like a basic courtesy to others: you get a cart at the supermarket, you use it to get your groceries and bring them to your vehicle, and then you return it for others to use. And yet, it's not uncommon for many people to ignore the cart receptacle entirely and leave their carts next to their cars or parked haphazardly on medians. During peak hours, it can mean bedlam. Where does this disregard come from? Some supermarkets have tried to make this relatively easy: they have cart receptacles throughout the parking lot, a cart attendant to bring the carts back to the store, and some may even rely on a cart "rental" system where you pay for the cart and are reimbursed when it's returned. So, where do you fall? I always take my buggy to the buggy corral. The Dumbest Thing You Will Read All Week 11 Habits That Are Normal In Working-Class Homes But Confuse Wealthy People While the middle class itself may be shrinking, as a study from the Pew Research Center suggests, the habits, behaviors, and mentalities of adults who grew up in middle-class households are still prevalent. From the way they manage money to how they interact with others and even fill their free time, there are a number of habits that are normal in working-class homes but confuse wealthy people. While the hobbies, habits, and routines of the middle class may not be intrinsically associated with money, they are founded on something that’s impossible to untie from a person’s financial wellbeing: choice. When you have money, you have the choice to spend your free time and energy how you want, but in many cases, middle-class people must make compromises and develop their routines around non-negotiables.

GSP set the record for most consecutive 90F+ days, breaking 38 days set in '93. It's at 41 now, and likely will hit 90F again tomorrow. Note this is consecutive days. I don't think we'll come anywhere close to the record total number of 90F days in a calendar year this year.

But, once in a while, if one is not handy, I at least make sure it's not in a parking spot. I've actually bumped carts out of my parking spot (I have a truck). But then I move the cart to a safe spot. But, it's one of the innumerable things that annoy me about the people I have to deal with on a daily basis. Posted by: Mikey Alpha Kilo, First of his name at July 31, 2025 10:06 PM (0aYVJ) 18 So, where do you fall? I always take my buggy to the buggy corral. ____________________________ I'm still physically in decent shape, and part of that is parking purposefully deep in the lot, and walking my cart all the way back to the store. I'm, also, a crude, deliberate jackass, so if I see someone leaving a cart in the lot without a care in the world, I'll get their attention, point at the cart, and shrug with an eyeroll. They usually leave anyway, but now they have to think about that tall goof at the grocery store and hope they don't run into him again on their next trip.

Fortunately I can steal one from the replacement tongue jack, but online I discover that it is a 5 buck part, so I am torn to whether I cannibalize a new jack I have no other use for, or buy one and keep the jack for a spare. I will probably do both. Oh, I also bought replacement handles for my wheel barrow and discovered it was for a different model so I had to drill extra holes, and now I need different bolts.

I mourn the PJ that was, not the PJ that he became. Posted by: BeckoningChasm at July 31, 2025 10:12 PM (CHHv1) It's not really that hard to understand. Trump was something of a joke to a LOT of the so-called hip writers of that generation. They saw him as a small minded playboy. Which he was. I don't doubt some of them partied with Trump. I think part of the flaw was in not being able to fathom just how evil the Clintons were/are.

I don't mind walking a distance to the store, but I tend to feel like I am DONE by the time I get out of there and put the stuff in the car. I will put the cart away no matter what, but it feels like a chore vs a practically no cost courtesy if I have to walk it very far to where it belongs after shopping. I will grab a stray cart to shop with if some sleaze left one in a parking spot, or sometimes push a couple strays into the corral as I head to the store.

When I'm through loading the vehicle, I'll take the cart I used, plus maybe another along the path with me to the store's entrance so other customers can use them.

Posted by: Soothsayer at July 31, 2025 10:42 PM (M86FD) 160 When I was a kid we lived in a house on a sharp curve on a main road in the neighborhood where a lot of people would use it to get from one highway to another highway in town. So we’d get a lot of people who didn’t really care how fast they went through the neighborhood, or around that curve. A few wrecks happened on the street but mostly it was people over correcting on the curve after going in too fast and landing in our yard. Sometimes they hit our mailbox first before going in the yard. So my dad and brother come up with a plan to make the entire mailbox out of quarter-inch wall square tubular steel and plant that sucker about four feet into the ground with concrete to fill the hole. The entire thing probably weighed 500 lbs. A drunk lady drove into it one Saturday morning, then into the yard. Knocked the mailbox over but it just had some paint scuffing. Her car was bashed in like the dude’s in the bollard video above. She told me Dad, “You’re mailbox messed up my car, you need to pay for the damage!” “Are you out of your mind, lady? You drove into it not me.” That mailbox also had the honor of ringing many an idiot’s bell who played mailbox baseball with it. Posted by: SpeakingOf at July 31, 2025 10:42 PM (6ydKt) 161 Micropenis.

Task some cops to patrol roads in areas where lots of carts go walkabout, and have them apprehend the culprits, and offer them a deal: "you are in possession of stolen property, and we could throw your ass in jail. You don't want to go to jail, do you? Well, right here, we have a Bill of Sale signed by the manager of that store, for one shopping cart, $150.

Posted by: Thomas Bender at July 31, 2025 11:02 PM (XV/Pl) 213 OK, I found an article done by a radio station that actually investigated why people don't return their carts or use the corral. Of the 20 or so excuses, these two might have some merit. ______________________________________________ 1. The person has a child whom they do not want to leave unattended. 2. The person has a disability. ___________________ The first one, I can personally support in today's world. Additionally, the just out of the toddler stage doesn't include car seats. And kids like to push buttons...like door locks. So OK, I can let this one slide. The second one...disability. There are circumstances where this is valid, because the handicapped spots rarely have a cart corral anywhere nearby. They're usually in towards the middle of the row. So, I'd let this slide too...provided you have a valid disability.

Every lot isn't the same, some have lots of corrals, some have none. If the corral is handy distance I will, if it's not I don't. It's common sense.

It didn't happen that long ago so you probably remember the left lost their shit when Barr redacted parts of Mueller's report. They went on tirades about it for weeks and of course the media amplified it constantly so it was hard to miss. He was a Special Counsel just like Durham, no more powers and no less. It's the exact same rule even if the reasoning was different. The DOJ gets the final say as to what is released. They both worked for the DOJ. That's who hired them. And even if that wasn't true it's a bit ironic to argue that the Deputy AG can't do stuff when we are talking about an entire administration starting with President Obama who couldn't do stuff but he did it anyway.

Posted by: Romeo13 at August Nah, man. You just don't get it. A SC declined to commit a report to Congress, under pressure from a powerful woman who he has no legal requirement to answer to. But he only did it because a previous corrupt SC pressured a previous corrupt AG - both of whom were no longer employed by DoJ and had no authority over him, either. But it's not because he's corrupt. If you don't believe him about that, just look at his no-nonsense facial hair.

Got some more mowing done; the grass has been growing like weeds. Possibly because it is mostly weeds. Had a funny thing happen today. I had a big metal table outside, that I had made by welding banquet table legs onto some panels of commercial steel shelving. It was covered in various car parts, waiting to be put away. Well, I ran into it today, with the golf cart. And it collapsed so gracefully, like a parallelogram, that most of the stuff on it just stayed there. Only a few things on the far edge fell onto the ground. I picked up everything, put it in cartons, upended the table, and got the bent tubes back in their sockets. But I am going to weld the hinged legs up solid, and make it a non-folding table evermore.

Posted by: Lurking Cheshirecat at August 01, 2025 01:15 AM (w3u3d) 429 I read a good article on this a while back. Back in the Before Time, we had leaders, govt and industry who looked to the future. California was an example. They had leaders who realized, hey we're going to grow big time, and we're gonna need power, water, this and that. They planned for that decades ahead. And now, we live with the fruits of that, and its taken for granted. Germany was another example. Back in the '70s they forecast what their power needs would be well into the future, up to about now. They were going to build nuclear plants to handle it. Then the anti-nuke and green shit came along, and all that was scrapped and they're in the mess they are now. To a large degree, we're just coasting on what the visionaries of the past built. We haven't been continuing that forward building, and all that stuff is now coming to the end of its useful life.

There are places where it costs more to transport natural gas than it is worth. Supply bottlenecks and a excess of gas because of the rate of oil production. Maybe locate those data centers in Canada where it's also easy to run efficient refrigeration cycles due to the climate. You would need to build out the fiber optic ring out from Chicago to Seattle or put in a major trunk line from one of the northern states.

Old shingles didn't fill it, so we did some major cleanup 'out back'. What a relief! Didn't need to hoist the junk into a truck and then shove it out later-- just get it into the dumpster which had a side-entry as well as the top opening. Can't remember exactly what we paid.. there was a daily charge, plus drop off/pick up that we paid to the driver. Another bill came later, for actual yardage. Think total was around $300?

So it sounds like you're One Of Them when you bring that up even if you aren't anti Semite. But I mean... EVERY ethnic group has terrible people in it, I'm part English and there's been a whole host of terrible Brits in the past. I'm part Danish, and while Niels Bohr and Victor Borge were a very fine fellows, I have no doubt there have been awful Danes.

Poland, East Germany, Chechoslovakia, Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria became communist at the point of a Soviet gun. The Jewish role in the origins of Marxism is undebatable; the problem is confliating ALL Jews with its secular/atheist founders. A lot of observant Jews were put to death by their Marxist kinsmen.

The Communists won because they were amoral, totally ruthless, and they imposed their will with an iron fist. Poland, East Germany, Chechoslovakia, Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria became communist at the point of a Soviet gun. The Jewish role in the origins of Marxism is undebatable; the problem is confliating ALL Jews with its secular/atheist founders. A lot of observant Jews were put to death by their Marxist kinsmen. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at July 31, 2025 08:33 PM (ZOv7s) Russia also became Communist at the point of a gun. The Communists won the Civil War there.

They could make a spinoff show out of that aspect if they tried, and people might be interested. Natives are represented so they get their woke quota that way as a bonus.

Alongside @USAttyPirro, we announced that American citizen Christina Chapman was sentenced to 102 MONTHS in prison for DEFRAUDING 309 US companies and STEALING THE IDENTITIES of 68 Americans. She operated a “laptop farm” from her home, generating more than $17 MILLION for North Korea to fund their nuclear weapons and evade our sanctions. With over 90 LAPTOPS in her home and 49 SHIPPED OVERSEAS, North Korean IT workers were not only earning money for the North Korean government but also accessing US companies’ networks and highly sensitive data. --- If you're thinking Christina Chapman is a pseudonym for a hot NoKo Wang Wang think again. https://tinyurl.com/4fuezpam Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at July 31, 2025 09:22 PM (T4RS9) 291 There was one character I found really annoying- Winona.

There is a US Federal Court of Appeals hearing the case today and for the next few...and my impression is that they are going to claim they have the authority to shut Trump's trade negotiation strategy down. Who knows which way the USSC goes when the case eventually gets there. This is the big story in today's news. You can actually feel the hope from the Leftist journalists that they'll rule Trumps tariffs illegal.

Posted by: Angzarr the Cromulent at July 31, 2025 08:34 PM (XMwZJ) Not that it matters but no they dont. There was one study of students in a yeshiva in NYC that found high IQs for Ashkenazi. It may have been true but it was a yeshiva for high performers. So not really a good statistical sample. The US army has meticulous iq test records going back to ww1. And they used to categorize by religion. As you say most Jews in the us were Ashkenazi and IIRC the average iq was in the low 90s. Higher than blacks lower than Western Europeans. Which tracks with average IQs throughout the Middle East. But more to the point we now have a country full of jews (Israel) and they have a lower average iq than the US which is the most mixed race country on the planet. Not to mention lower iqs than Europe and Asia (chinas numbers are suspect due to rampant cheating on tests but Japan and Singapore also show similar IQs.) Again none of that matters its just one of those weird talking points I see thrown around a lot. And I do think there is some truth to the argument that IQ is bullshit anyways.

But the mama moose was chill as hell, and her calf actually wandered really close to the truck. It was very cool, really.

I had moose visiting my back field regularly. Big ones. And, I kept an airhorn handy mostly for safety from moose and bears, but sometimes for entertainment. When moose graze, they're front legs are too long and they have to sort of get down on the first joint. This makes them very unbalanced (which is where the airhorn sometimes came into play).

Posted by: Its Go Time Donald at July 31, 2025 10:13 PM (Vvm2m) 332 /sock Posted by: Oddbob at July 31, 2025 11:51 PM (/y8xj) Candace Owens: A National Concern Candace Owens is being sued by Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte, and, I can't believe this, I'm on the Macrons' side. Owens is a devoted conspiracy theorist (and antisemitic crusader) and has repeatedly claimed, without, seriously, any evidence, that Macron's wife is really a man, baby. There is controversy over the term "woke right." I don't use the term myself. But one attribute of the woke left has been to simply defame anyone they don't like. (While simultaneously demanding repressive censorship for anyone they don't like.) Candace Owens certainly seems to enjoy this aspect of online wokism. I don't like Macron and while I know nothing about his wife, her association with Macron, and the, um, interesting circumstances of their May (or early April)-December romance, suggest to me I wouldn't like her if I knew much about her. But you can't just claim that someone was born the opposite sex because the bad chemicals in your head told you are a Diva Genius and that you deserve some Internet Attention today. It's defamatory. Clearly. And it's a statement of fact, not opinion, so it can in fact be legally defamatory. First, she doubled down on her slander and claimed that she would fund-raise her defense and use her position to harass the Macrons through discovery. Owens needs to talk to a lawyer because discovery will only be permitted on the question of Brigitte Macron's birth sex. "Discovery" is not a license to demand any and all documents that you might want to use to embarrass your opponent. You can only discover documents germane to the actual case. WATCH: Candace Owens just DOUBLED DOWN on Brigitte Macron being a man in response to getting sued. "You were born a man and you will die a man... That's the point I'm making." "I think you're sick. I think you're disgusting. And I am fully prepared to take on this battle on… pic.twitter.com/LXiGjuearU — George (@BehizyTweets) July 24, 2025 Again, this is a simple factual matter. The relevant documents here are her birth certificate, certifications of enrollment in primary school, her marriage license, etc. She can also discover the birth certificates for the children that Brigitte Macron gave birth to. Allegedly gave birth to, I should say. On 22 June 1974, Brigitte married banker Andre-Louis Auziere (1951 - 2019), with whom she had three children (Sebastien, born 1975; Laurence, born 1977; and Tiphaine, born 1984). Owens can discover these, but she can't just go on a fishing expedition for anything she thinks that Macron wouldn't want to admit. She seems to think she can back Macron down by making this threat to discover all sorts of embarrassing information, but it's an empty threat. No judge will sign an order to discover anything that's not directly relevant to the case. She seems to have been informed -- or to at least suspect -- that Brigitte Macron has a birth certificate stating that she is a female. So now she's claiming... Seriously, she's now claiming... that the real Brigitte Macron died in childhood and that the birth certificate for this female child was then given to her brother, and that brother became "Brigitte Macron." See, it was this girl's dying wish that her birth certificate be willed to her transgender brother. Where is she getting this from? Apparently, just from her low-IQ brain. Again, she has no evidence for any of these claims. She's just compounding her first defamation with additional defamations. So now, according to Candace Owens, Brigitte Macron was born a woman, died, and with her dying wish passed on her identity to her brother. There's no way anyone still believes this crap right? Come on guys... You all got taken for a ride by an insane grifter. pic.twitter.com/ASSwUqpOAn — Shawn Farash (@Shawn_Farash) July 30, 2025 Meanwhile, she decided to interview Harvey Weinstein. Her new crusade is that Harvey Weinstein was "set up" and framed. Even Weinstein resists this bizarre claim of Owens'. But there's a reason she believes this. She doesn't say this straight-up, but she keeps suggesting that their are powerful people in Hollywood who wanted to "set up" Weinstein. Her suggestion is that they wanted to take possession of his back catalogue of movies. She keeps demanding to know who now owns his back catalogue. She doesn't say this, but I think that given her very strong antisemtic sentiments, she's hinting around that Powerful Jews Conspired to frame Weinstein and steal his movies. Weinstein, alas, disappoints her. He reports that two companies now own all of his old movies, and neither is an Israeli company. One is owned by the Qatari government, and the other is owned by Saudis. Candace: JUST SAY “JEWS” ALREADY—“THE JEWS WHO CONTROL HOLLYWOOD”—SAY IT. Weinstein: Uh… (Wait for the big surprise at the end) pic.twitter.com/XZX9UKK8vz — David Reaboi, Late Republic Nonsense (@davereaboi) July 31, 2025 Oooh, so close, Candace! Keep trying! We believe in you! If you don't know: Candace Owens has a very concerning Origin Story. She claims she had been maligned by racists when she was in high school. She sued various people. I don't know the disposition of the case. She decided that she would create a website to let people get vengeance on their online bullies. This website would be called "Social Autopsy." It would allow anyone to post unverified defamations about anyone else, as long as it was claimed that this defamatory information was in service of fighting back against online bullies. Two leftwing women told Candace Owens this was a terrible idea, and that she was just creating a platform that malicious trolls and defamers could use to victimize people -- the exact opposite of what Owens claimed she wanted to create the website for. Owens, who apparently believes that any idea that pops into her low-IQ head is a great one, decided that these two left-wing women were just jealous schemers trying to trick her out of her great idea to create a high-profile defamation website. Of course, the two leftwing women were 100% right. I would not be inclined to believe them based on their politics, either, but if I listened to what they were saying -- a website that allows people to post unverified derogatory claims about other people with no effort at verification whatsoever would in fact empower online defamers and bullies, not check them -- I would have decided that these two leftwing women were right about this one issue. When Candace Owens explains how she became "conservative" -- or whatever brand of conspiratorial, paranoid "politics" she practices -- she always talks about these two leftwing women trying to hoodwink her, and how she became a "conservative" in reaction to their trickery and scheming. And since the very day I heard about this fruitcake, I thought: Boy, of all the reasons to join the right (or pseudoright), that has got to be the very worst possible reason, and I don't think that shows she's actually "conservative" at all. More like she's a narcissistic headcase who can't accept criticism so she became a "conservative" because two women on the left criticized her.

I can't wait to hear the explanation of how it is defamatory, and what the damages are. Being trans is bad? Being a man is bad? Macron is gay, and that's bad?

So I looked for Candice's podcast and saw she had like 2x 1.5 hour podcasts and the description said it was part of her 10 hour "expose" on Bridgette Macron. Yikes, I decided that the shape of Mrs. Macron's dangly bits was not worth 5 minutes, let alone 10 hours of my life. She could have a Komatsu dual articulated long reach back hoe down there for all I care. Posted by: bob (moron incognitus) at July 31, 2025 06:43 PM (SdZih) 72 Influencer. SPIT The new term for narcissistic clown Internet world. Where if you get clicks you can say anything to keep getting clicks! I should start a podcast! But we know my husband and sons would spoil all my fun in talking to myself with an audience of 2 cats. Plus me laughing at the sight of myself, as sometimes once I start laughing it is hard to stop. I have been known to fall out of a chair laughing. Often choke laughing on a regular basis. Sometimes there are tears, which are the only kind I have: laugh tears or those of awe/happiness/joy. I once worsened the wreck of my bf/husband's car laughing with my brother during my college daze. Forunately the car was a beater and a mess to start with (I won't go into details, trust me). We were getting burgers from a window, there was a sharp left turn, which I then scraped a wooden fence. This did us in and I had to come to a complete stop later, blinded by laugh tears. Brother and I were also going to see Blazing Saddles a few years before this episode. A bit lit, both of us. He made me laugh and I drove over a grass median with curbs, which made us laugh harder. Laughter can be a dangerous thing. But I can't say no. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at July 31, 2025 06:43 PM (6PCLE) 73 I think my penis is Racist or something.

Sweeney is hotter, but she's not a perfect 10. You start adding personality, insanity, etc, and Sweeney starts really pulling ahead. I think sex with Amber Heard is a safer proposal than with Candace Owens. Posted by: Moron Analyst at July 31, 2025 06:44 PM (ycI94) 76 Sydney Sweeney is an 8, more or less. That face, yeesh!

Given the state of American defamation law, this is far from a slam dunk. And Owens could ask if being trans in Macron's opinion is bad. She can't say no, because she's victimizing trans people. It's like someone claiming I was a Marine. It's false, but is it defamatory? Doubtful. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at July 31, 2025 06:45 PM (ZOv7s) 81 I just looked up the dinosaur thing. The AI digest says she has claimed that dinosaurs are "fake and gay," which I admit is kind of funny, but... I won't dwell on it because I know their are committed Christians who believe that there are were no dinosaurs. Whatever. She seems eager to believe just about any conspiracy theory that drifts across her transom. Posted by: ace at July 31, 2025 06:45 PM (KRtlO) 82 She wants out of the rightosphere: so, she creates these stupid controversies knowing that she will be avoided, dumps her nominal allies as racist Jew loving buffoons and runs off to do stand up in LA. Posted by: Accomack at July 31, 2025 06:45 PM (tLPHV) 83 I might guess it is some sort of progressive disorder because her claims and rhetoric seem to get wackier and wackier. Posted by: San Franpsycho at July 31, 2025 06:45 PM (JvZF+) 84 IF there was evidence for what Candace claims, I could (almost) believe it. Given the craziness of the Woke and LGTBQ crap, and the history of odd sex relationships, certainly such bizarre crap has happened. Add to that the crazy world of rich people doing nasty and weird stuff, and the true age difference ... sure, it is not impossible. The skull ad bones stuff, the Bohemian Grove thang ... plenty of "high powered" people committing perverse acts. They claim "BigMike" adopted the kids, seems unlikely, but idk. ... no clue about Mrs. Macron, haven't even tried to look into it. I'd rather Owens actually prove her story is correct, but that seems unlikely. But certainly these kind of crazy stories are not beyond the realm of the rich and powerful.

But I also don't care that she's defaming the Macrons or anyone else. The media defames everyone it doesn't like all the time, and it rarely pays for it. So tough cookies. Don't expect me to stand up for decency. At any rate, I do question whether it is defamatory. The left's position is that there is nothing wrong with being trans, and that trans women is a redundant phrase, that they are literal women. So what's the defamation exactly? You may laugh. But I recall there being some decisions in the early 2000s reconsidering whether calling someone a homosexual was defamatory on the same basic grounds. (I don't know whether there's a legal consensus on that anymore.)

I figured that maybe the claims that it's super-pro-abortion and anti-Christian were overblown. They're not. It's a fairly well-made movie and it had potential, and Sweeney's acting in it is good, but it is a super-hard-core pro-abortion movie and it's nasty to Christians. When I started watching it I saw a church doing all sorts of demonic things. I thought "no big deal, the Bible says the devil will disguise himself as being good and will try to corrupt the church, this is just a variation on Rosmary's Baby with demonic cultists posing as Christians." It's not that. They really are christians, and they really are impregnating her against her will with a baby because they are insanely trying to duplicate the virgin birth. I won't give away the twist in case you're still interested. Posted by: ace at July 31, 2025 06:53 PM (KRtlO) 127 Candace Owens' husband is George Farmer. His net worth is $180-240 million.

I gave up on her years ago. Used to be she'd say 5 sensible things, and one iffy thing. then it went 50/50. Now it's like 5 iffy things, and one incredibly nutso thing. I expect in another 5 years it'll be just 6 nutso things. never go full nutso. Brigitte Macron is a transgender? Even if that were true, why should I give a shit? The wife of the president of France is transgender? So? It's not like Bridgette Macron is on the women's Olympic wrestling team. Posted by: El Mariachi - Attorney at Law at July 31, 2025 07:00 PM (gDhA9) 171 All I know, for sure, is that Bridget wears wigs. And groomed her weak husband from an early age,while married with children her own age. That's all I know. I simply don't care, Candace, as I dislike them both. Marcron, that dimwit, has now convinced the UK to side with Palestine. That matters to me and I hate him. I hope his wife slaps him around some more! Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at July 31, 2025 07:00 PM (6PCLE) 172 I dunno. The antisemite Candace made a good team with the anti Catholic bigot, Ben Shapiro. There’s plenty of interviews with Ben online to prove what I stated. He believes Jesus was a troublemaker killed by the Romans. He doesn’t even believe he was a prophet. He also believes that when the Sanhedrin once again forms all Catholics will be put to death. Posted by: Billy Jack at July 31, 2025 07:00 PM (hzUuR) 173 SPONGE!!! Posted by: RedMindBlueState at July 31, 2025 07:00 PM (Wnv9h) 174 I don't like Macron and while I know nothing about his wife Owens didn't make this up, she's repeating the claims of certain independent French journalists who have been investigating it for years. It certainly seems utterly fantastic at first blush but if one listens to what these French investigators are claiming it goes from fantastic to far-fetched to merely unlikely the more one looks at it. At first I dismissed it on the basis that surgical sex changes couldn't have been a thing back then, but the investigators found a 1977 French television interview with a woman called "Veronique" whose identity is hidden who underwent the procedure back in the day. They propose that this may indeed be Brigitte. Let Macron defend himself, a lot of these elites are not worth defending. Wouldn't surprise me to learn he has the same taste in art as the creepy Podestas.

There's a non-zero case that judge could reject that as a matter of law given how crazy half the country is on this subject. If the Macrons aren't savvy in jury selection, there's a non-zero chance that jurors with those kooky beliefs could zero them out even if the judge doesn't.

In defamation law, "harm" refers to the negative impact a false and defamatory statement has on a person's reputation, causing injury to their standing in the community or deterring others from associating with them. This harm can manifest as financial losses, damage to professional relationships, or emotional distress. In some cases, harm is presumed, meaning it doesn't need to be explicitly proven You guys asserting that they have to prove that "being trans is bad" to prove harm are just, you know, bullshitting in an internet comment area. If you want to keep on bullshitting, that's fine, but you should be aware that there is a doctrine called "per se defamation" (which I was specifically sued for), which says... Defamation "per se" refers to a false statement that is considered so inherently harmful to a person's reputation that it's actionable without the need to prove specific damages. Essentially, the statement itself is considered damaging enough to warrant legal action and presumed damages Posted by: ace at July 31, 2025 07:14 PM (KRtlO) 260 A blue jury would bankrupt Owens and not care one way or the other about Macron.

But that doesn't get headlines because it's old news and the hidden-trans accusations are the new hotness. True, and more than that, conspiracy theorists are always smitten by what I think of as Action Movie Thriller Plots. real politics are boring for them, they crave the thrills and twists of Hollywood movies, and are very eager to believe any Hollywood Action Thriller Conspiracy Plot because it's exciting to them. I call this "parapolitics." It's not actually boring earth-bound politics, but it sounds vaguely "political" and it's so much more interesting that drab old facts and arguments about policy. Posted by: ace at July 31, 2025 07:18 PM (KRtlO) 276 Prediction: Candace will settle. She’s way over her skis on this. It’s textbook slander and libel. Candace is somewhat trying to state she believes Mrs Macron is a man and there’s nothing in the public domain to convince her otherwise. Also she can try the birth certificate gambit, and she’s ultimately mentioning that because it’s materiality that proves her claim is false, and further buttresses slander and libel if she continues down that road. It if they prove the authenticity of that birth certificate she’s going to be eating a bag of dicks one at a time next to the other people in Europe who peddled this claim.

OK, fine, but I must have missed that brief phase of time in which she was hailed by us as a legitimate right-leaning commentator in the first place. From what I see here, she started out as a sort of unhinged semi-leftist, went further nuts and briefly declared herself based and anti-woke, but her pendulum kept swinging and within months of appearing on the scene slippery-sloped way out into paleo-conspiracy-paranoia land, and has been mocked and rejected by the right ever since. Correct? She's already rejected and dismissed by MAGA. The only attention she get is from the Left and from throwback "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" level tinfoil hat anti-Semites. Bu the more the Left feeds her role as the examplar of right-wing lunacy, the more we must vociferously reject her. Correct?

As another example, if a woman wants jobs modeling and you spread rumors she's a man, you damage her reputation as a model. It has nothing to do with being bad to be trans, it's damaging to her career. Same if a woman wants to sell books as a spokesperson for women which Macron might want to do some day. It has zero to do with trans being bad or good. Its a lie that is damaging. Posted by: ... at July 31, 2025 07:23 PM (E0p3T) 311 Can someone please explain what the means?

It has zero to do with trans being bad or good. Its a lie that is damaging.

It's a bullshit term from embarrassed progressives like james lyndsey who are soul-shakingly afraid to acknowledge that neo-marxists are from their own quarter. Neo-marxism is a product of post-modern liberalism and they hate that fact. Being 'woke' is antithetical to being an American conservative.

What surprises me is the suggestion the certain documents are relevant. Her children's birth certificates? No. The birth certificates of adopted children are altered to show their adopted parents. Isn't that common knowledge? Regarding the story about Mrs. Macron's brother, that would be easy enough to resolve. What happened to that brother? If he's alive somewhere that would disprove that claim, right? A death certificate for him would do the same. The ONLY real way to prove this, one way or the other, is a DNA TEST. Is Mrs. Macron willing to do one, and do so in such a way that it cannot be tampered with? Posted by: MrExcitement at August 01, 2025 10:33 AM (hOOi9) 455 I wonder if there might be another angle here.

Posted by: Me at August 01, 2025 11:58 PM (BNHMg) School-Choice Advocate Corey D'Angelis Exposes the NEA's Radical, Antisemitic Political Manifesto as the NEA Races to Erase It From the Internet; He Renews His Demand to De-Certify This Communist, Anti-Student "Union" I'm inclined to agree already but let's read some of his exposé. Actually, he isn't interested in de-certifying the NEA so much as crippling its true role as a Democrat grifter organization. He wants the STUDENT Act passed. The National Education Association (NEA) tried scrubbing its radical 2025 handbook from the internet after I leaked its contents on X, but I saved a copy of their 434-page manifesto. This document, meant to guide America's largest teachers' union, exposes a radical agenda: erasing Jews from the Holocaust, blaming "white supremacy culture" for systemic racism, pushing illegal racial quotas, calling for "educational reparations," and attacking homeschooling while ignoring their own failing schools. The NEA, armed with a unique 1906 federal charter, has become a money-laundering operation for the Democratic Party, funneling over 99% of its 2022 political contributions to Democrats. Its president, Becky Pringle, an at-large Democratic National Committee member, engages in histrionics to rally this partisan machine. The "Stopping Teachers Unions from Damaging Education Needs Today (STUDENT) Act," introduced last week by Senator Cynthia Lummis and Representative Scott Fitzgerald, would gut this cartel by banning lobbying, political activity, and racial quotas, mandating transparency, and stopping strikes that shutter schools. Congress must pass this bill to leverage the NEA's charter, force it back to education, or make it beg to lose its special privilege. The NEA's handbook is a blueprint for extremism, not education. It downplays the Holocaust's targeting of Jews, framing it as a generic tragedy while emphasizing other groups, effectively erasing Jewish suffering from history. It declares that "educators must acknowledge the existence of white supremacy culture as a primary root cause of institutional racism, structural racism, and white privilege," vowing to push "strategies fostering the eradication of institutional racism and white privilege perpetuated by white supremacy culture." It demands school districts provide training in "cultural competence, implicit bias, restorative practices, and racial justice." Worse, it calls for illegal racial quotas, stating, "The National Education Association believes that at every phase of governance and on all decision-making levels of the Association there should be minority participation at least proportionate to the identified ethnic-minority population of that geographic level." These quotas prioritize identity over merit, dividing teachers and distracting from student needs. The handbook even attacks homeschooling, claiming "home schooling programs based on parental choice cannot provide the student with a comprehensive education experience"--ironic, given that only about a quarter of public school eighth graders are proficient in math despite $20,000 per student in annual spending. placeholder The NEA's federal charter, a privilege no other union enjoys, was meant to advance teaching and learning, not fuel a partisan agenda. With nearly $400 million in annual revenue from teacher dues, the NEA bankrolls Democratic campaigns while neglecting classrooms. Pringle's DNC ties and histrionic convention speeches ensure the NEA serves progressive politics, not educators. The union's 2025 convention in Portland, Oregon, doubled down this month. Ashlie Crosson, the 2025 NEA Teacher of the Year, declared teaching "deeply political." Resolutions read like a DNC war plan: one pledged thousands to smear President Trump as a "fascist," misspelling "fascism" as "facism." Another committed over $200,000 to evade a Supreme Court ruling allowing parents to opt out of gender ideology instruction. The NEA also vowed to fight Trump's immigration and education policies. In 2019, it rejected a resolution to "rededicate itself to the pursuit of increased student learning in every public school in America." ... The STUDENT Act is a kill shot. Unlike revoking the NEA's charter -- a symbolic jab that wouldn't stop its antics -- this bill dismantles its power. It bans lobbying and political activity, choking off its Democratic pipeline. It ends racial quotas, ensuring merit-based leadership. It mandates annual reports to Congress, exposing Pringle's $400 million war chest. It prohibits strikes, keeping schools open for nearly 50 million students. It scraps the NEA's D.C. property tax exemption and requires informed consent for dues, ending automatic deductions. Read the whole thing. More: Randi Weingarten is looking to join up with the equally-popular Klaus Schwab. Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, dropped a bombshell last week at the union's annual convention in Washington, DC. In a speech that could have been ripped from the pages of a dystopian novel, she announced a partnership with the globalist World Economic Forum to craft a new curriculum for America's schools. If you thought Common Core's centralized, one-size-fits-all approach was a bad idea, Weingarten's latest move is the educational equivalent of saying, "Hold my beer." The WEF, known for its unsettling vision of a future where "you'll own nothing and you'll be happy," is now being invited to shape the minds of America's children. This is the same organization that cozies up to the Chinese Communist Party, promotes digital IDs and pushes foolish, industry-killing green energy schemes. The AFT has been edging up to this alliance: When its members passed a resolution this spring calling for "climate-smart and sustainable schools," they explicitly cited the WEF as part of a push to "integrate the curriculum to facilitate comprehensive energy reduction." Partnering with an entity that holds up authoritarian regimes as models is a five-alarm fire. And considering the WEF's track record of championing policies that undermine industrial competitiveness, Weingarten's claim that the coming curriculum will lead to "good jobs and solid careers in US manufacturing" is laughable. This move fits Weingarten's pattern: She has a craving for centralized power, and her union's history shows a knack for leveraging authority to bend institutions to its will. As I always point out: Failing teachers always want to "reform the curriculum" because the only other alternative would be to fire the incompetent teachers, which the failure-factory-protecting teachers unions vow will never, ever happen. If you can't fire the people actually to blame, you have to claim that some "reform" in the "system" is necessary. So every five to eight years we go through the same bullshit: Teachers fail, the public sees that they're failing, the teachers unions propose more changes to "the system" which results in even more failure but hey, it buys them another five to eight years until the cycle repeats. We must destroy them. This seems impossible but until six months ago it also seemed impossible to seal the border, deport the illegal alien criminals, rebalance world trade and defund PBS and NPR. We can do this. Meanwhile: The "experts" keep experting. This is Harrison Bergeron stuff -- the early readers must be stopped from reading until age 7 so that they're equal to the slow readers.

Stifling the learning of the child who obviously takes in information in typed form is idiocy in order to accommodate the child who takes it in non-typed form.

Committed to buy Progressive Auto to get more discount too. Dad had a really great coverage ins plan. but they were jumping the rates to 8.5K/year and IMO it amounts to highway robbery to pay that much. Plus the company has been pissing me off. Dad had his own vehicles and policy but they put him as the driver on my vehicles and 16 months after he passed away the company STILL has him listed as the primary on the home policy, they only added me to the policy and only in November last year did they finally remove him and his vehicles I'd told them were gone from the auto policy portion. Jerks. Because I have too many horses, some companies won't even issue a policy so I just took the plunge and signed on for this one.

The myelin sheath development thing is useful to know so that teachers don't preemptively declare your kids stupid or learning-disabled (usually boys, apparently they tend to get their myelin sheaths later than girls do). Using it to prevent everyone from learning as soon as they can is just as inhumane as saying the later-developers will never learn.

In determining how much time to allot to home school instruction (1-6), we estimated about 4 hours, after subtracting all the overhead. We were disabused of this notion by a teacher friend, who advised it should be more like 2 hours. All the rest is indoctrination, socializing (creating herd animals who respect muh authoritah), babysitting, and grooming. It was a real eye-opener.

They would not put him in GT, nor would the school provide enrichment for him because "it wasn't fair." His fantastic teacher allowed me to do a reading/writing class with him that allowed him to read at his level, write about the books, and do spelling from the books as well as etymology of the words. He thrived. In fifth grade, same school, his new teacher screamed at me that it was unfair to other kids who didn't have a mom to help them, and my son could learn enough in her class.

Homeschooling can work, but most people don't have the time or inclination to teach their children. Private schools are expensive and you can't be sure if they're going to teach the same crap that public schools do. I say go back to hiring private tutors. Make an Uber-like app for teachers for hire. Rate them on how well a job they do for your kids. These tutors can then visit a few students a day at home and make a decent living teaching without the hassle of unions and government, hopefully. It's just an idea, but one whose time, I believe, has potential.

They hate people who can read as well. It is nothing short of demonic. Rote memorization of facts, names, dates, etc is part of a classical education. With a command of history, one has a ready made database as it were, without looking things up. This has proven extremely useful over the years in ways impossible to describe. Trivia, seemingly useless information, that I have retained for whatever reason, has proven a key piece of more than one puzzle, and saved my life on more than one occasion. It is not the same as being able to look something up on the internet For one, they don’t want students to know history, because they very much intend to repeat it. The entire education apparatus is apparently headed and significantly staffed by radical saboteurs. Burn it down, start over. At least get your kids out of government run schools.

Our educational system was modeled on Prussia's schools at the time. Schedules, discipline, curricula; all borrowed from a highly militant culture that was well on it's way to preparing to conquer Europe at the time. I don't think it works for a 21st century economy. We don't have to have tutors and homeschooling, but something has to be done for a system that benefits fewer and fewer children and young adults at the expense of teachers unions and leftist indoctrination.

Posted by: Common Tater at July 31, 2025 06:56 PM (VA1KP) 288 We’ve known for over 10 years through repeated research in child development that there are ages that are prime for learning certain information, such as reading. It is true that children can best learn to read around 7 years of age, or first grade. But there are children who learn to read on their own, especially if they see their parents reading, their parents read to them every day, and they have access to picture story books that have beginning reading words in them. In Sweden they don’t formally teach reading until first grade. They have the highest literacy levels in the world. Look up their forest schools. The learning is amazing. As a speech language pathologist and a mother, it angers me to see 3-5 year olds being forced to sit at tables doing ABC and phonics worksheets, rather than learning through active play. By the time they reach first grade, the joy of learning has been worksheeted out of them. Read read read to your children and keep them off all screen time for as long as possible. Posted by: Annie Rose at July 31, 2025 07:26 PM (RBnU7) 289 The educational system has been failing for years. Our lifestyle is so technologically bound now that we can no longer support it with domestic resources. Hence, unpleasant things are happening that people get upset about here. We must force the changes necessary otherwise we will lose our edge. We need a domestic supply of doctors and engineers and such. Sure it's great to advocate the trades, but it doesn't take a near lifetime of quality education to acquire the skills for those jobs. Posted by: pawn at July 31, 2025 07:34 PM (QB+5g) A Day of Shocks: Young Men Cannot Name a Single "Masculine" Democrat Except for Obama "Which Obama?" Greg Gutfeld asked. Young American men do not have a long list of Democratic leaders they view as masculine, in fact, there really seems to be only one name on it. A recent analysis of young men aged 18 to 29 by the think tank Third Way stated that most of the participants "struggle to name masculine leaders within the Democratic Party, outside of [former President] Barack Obama." Respondents recognized the Republican Party as the most masculine, and the party that best represented the interests of men. "I make love to men every day, but in my imagination." -- Barack Obama in a letter to his "girlfriend" while in college "The [Republican] party generally tends to put itself towards supporting the nuclear family," one respondent, identified as a young black man, said in the study. "One I mean, like I said, I'm a father. I'm a husband... you really can't get better at leadership and integrity than having to raise a family. And the Republican Party does do that very well." ... "[Harris] talked a lot about the whole cultural thing," one respondent, also identified as a young black man, said. "But she didn't really address... the prices of everything going up that was actually going to change my day-to-day life... too much focus on cultural inclusivity and not [making] our lives as civilians a bit more tolerable." The study used three focus groups of "soft Trump supporting young black, Latino, and non-college white men" from the seven battleground states between the ages of 18 and 29. Third Way said the men in their study tended to be less focused on ideology, low-propensity voters and less likely to consume political news. Third Way is a self-described center-left think tank widely associated with the Democratic Party's moderate wing. Lucas Holtz, a political analyst at the think tank, wrote that the findings of its focus groups "should give pause to anyone who wants to beat back the MAGA forces."

However, it could be unwound pretty easily if (and that's a big IF) the political will existed. Reduce Social Security payouts by 5% while simultaneously putting 5% of the current Social Security receipts in a taxpayer-chosen investment account. Repeat every year, correcting for things like inflation, the time value of money, etc. In 20 years...voila. No more Social Security. If that's too quick, you could even make it 40 years at 2.5% a year..

Medicare sent me a Not A Bill explaining what the hospital charged. The amount was comparable to what I paid for my my 3 bedroom 2 bath house back in the 90s. I haven’t been asked to pay that amount, and I checked with one of my financial advisors: yes, I have enough cash in hand to pay it, if demanded. But most people my age (I am retired) don’t have my resources. Yes, it would wipe out most people. I will vote for freedom, but a lot of people my age are afraid of what even minor surgery costs.

Think about how many masks have been ripped off by Trump & Co., and how much more we know, not 'suspect,' but 'know, that we didn't before. I bet Reagan and Tip had a drink or two together, or at least in a group. Back then, at least we thought Democrats were still Americans. Now we know they're not.

Simple, being right wing is seen as cool. The moment it stops being seen as cool people will leave. Exactly. alot of these people grew up on sigma edits and liberals wrecked compilations. It also allows men to externalize all the real issues that they could very well have, rather than confronting them directly. GamerGate + The Force Awakens being bad indirectly led to Trump being elected. Hyperbolic sure, but there's a kernel of truth to it. The right wing is currently waking up to what the left has been calling out for over a decade - that Trump is a rapist and a pedophile. That might help a bit for the ones with a shred of decency left. Somebody actually gets it. It’s literally because being a liberal is seen as lame in most straight guy circles. This is how it was when I was in HS 10 years ago and I imagine it’s how it is now. Some grow out of it, some don’t this exactly. the Right has done a great job in the past 10 years as painting the Left as "the establishment" and we live in a culture that likes to go against the establishment and so naturally it attracts youth.

Posted by: toby928 at July 31, 2025 04:58 PM (jc0TO) 359 Okay, I guess this is old news because this interview was 5 days ago, but had on the Sacramento AM station at lunchtime and the host was playing the part of the interview where the President of Sacramento State University was talking about how he was working to eliminate "whiteness" from the curriculum. Not white people, mind you, just "white culture", which he couldn't define when pinned down on it. Even in this depraved day and age, I can't believe he felt safe and smug enough to utter that in a public forum. I'd be shocked except my "shock" fuses got blown out long ago.

Posted by: Max Power --------- There is a cohort that was young and stupid during the VN draft, and they listened to the MSM and came to blame the Republicans. (This makes no sense, I know, but these people exist. Nixon ended the war, but only by fighting it and that cost lives. The MSM hated him for both sides of that -- winning, and fighting.) They then spent their lives listening to the "conventional wisdom" as told by the MSM, that Reagan was stupid and evil, Bush was stupid and evil, Ford was stupid and evil,...... I hold that the "Gen X" started when that cohort was old enough to pull a lever for Reagan. They were new to politics, had no threat of draft, and were skeptical of "the man." They went another way.

Going back only five generations means there's only a 77% chance that the pedigree is accurate. It's hard to say for sure, but I suspect this was MUCH higher in the days before DNA tests. If it's at the high end of the range, 10%, 5 generations means less than a 60% probability that the pedigree is accurate.

Posted by: Romeo13 at July 31, 2025 05:25 PM (mP0Kj) 500 I should add that "boomer" is not defined by NIST or anything. it is a term used by academics who look at cohorts and want to give them a name. Cohorts vary from paper to paper and often are different sizes in same paper. The guy who originated the term defined it as 45-59 (I think). Today it is mostly 45-64 but it still varies. The boom was well and truely over by 60 and that was a bust period of declining births so there is no real logic hear, just opinions. My opinion is that the birth year is meaningless and what defines the social views of different cohorts is what they experienced in their formative years - the economy, the wars, the draft, the technology, etc. Posted by: bob (moron incognitus) at July 31, 2025 05:26 PM (SdZih) 501 She looks like she got caught with a mouthful of soft drink!

FBI Director Kash Patel found a trove of sensitive documents related to the origins of the Trump--Russia probe buried in multiple "burn bags" in a secret room inside the bureau, sources told Fox News Digital. Sources told Fox News Digital that the "burn bag" system is used to destroy documents designated as classified or higher. Sources told Fox News Digital that multiple burn bags were found and filled with thousands of documents. Sources told Fox News Digital that one of the documents FBI officials found in a burn bag was the classified annex to former special counsel John Durham's final report, which includes the underlying intelligence he reviewed. Oh -- I guess the disclosures mentioned earlier, about a George Soros stooge coordinating with a Hillary Clinton operative to gin up the RussiaGate hoax, came from one of these burn bags. ... Sources exclusively briefed Fox News Digital on some of the contents of the classified annex -- including that the U.S. intelligence community had credible foreign sources indicating that the FBI would play a role in spreading the alleged Trump--Russia collusion narrative** -- before the bureau ever launched its controversial Crossfire Hurricane probe. A source familiar with the contents of the classified annex told Fox News Digital that while it may not have been exactly clear in the moment what the intelligence collection meant, with the benefit of hindsight, it predicted the FBI's next move "with alarming specificity." "Ultimately, the release of the classified annex will lend more credibility to the assertion that there was a coordinated plan inside the U.S. government to help the Clinton campaign stir up controversy connecting Trump to Russia," the source, who was granted anonymity to discuss sensitive intelligence matters that have not yet been made public, told Fox News Digital. Dan Bongino says there is so much corruption he can't barely keep it together. FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino posted a lengthy message on his official X account in which he vowed to bring the American people "the truth" after saying that he had learned things that "shocked" him. "During my tenure here as the Deputy Director of the FBI, I have repeatedly relayed to you that things are happening that might not be immediately visible, but they are happening," Bongino wrote. "What I have learned in the course of our properly predicated and necessary investigations into these aforementioned matters, has shocked me down to my core. We cannot run a Republic like this. I'll never be the same after learning what I've learned." It is unclear what exactly Bongino was referring to in his post. Dan Bongino @FBIDDBongino During my tenure here as the Deputy Director of the FBI, I have repeatedly relayed to you that things are happening that might not be immediately visible, but they are happening. The Director and I are committed to stamping out public corruption and the political weaponization of both law enforcement and intelligence operations. It is a priority for us. But what I have learned in the course of our properly predicated and necessary investigations into these aforementioned matters, has shocked me down to my core. We cannot run a Republic like this. I'll never be the same after learning what I've learned. We are going to conduct these righteous and proper investigations by the book and in accordance with the law. We are going to get the answers WE ALL DESERVE. As with any investigation, I cannot predict where it will land, but I can promise you an honest and dignified effort at truth. Not "my truth," or "your truth," but THE TRUTH. God bless America, and all those who defend Her.

Unless that was the intent. Someone on the inside WANTED these bags to be found. Otherwise they would have been found and destroyed years ago. What's the average length of time between when documents are marked for destruction and the actual incineration? Posted by: "Perfessor" Squirrel at July 31, 2025 02:51 PM (7fElN) 21 Sorry but I have to toss the B$ flag on this. If they had the presence of mind to stuff all of the incriminating evidence into burn bags to get rid of them why didn't they like actually get rid of them? Seriously, they were just sitting there in the burn room ready to go. At least one person should have had a match or cigarette lighter or something. And yes I know it is a bit more complicated than that. I used to use the burn chamber to get rid of classified material in the Navy. But my point still stands. They did all of the prep work and just walked out with everything just sitting there neatly bagged up waiting to be found.

Because of that, the person who may have had charge of burning the documents did not do so, for the very real fear of getting charged for destruction of evidence.

At what point does the American begin to hate, as the poem goes? This kind of stuff is genuinely corrosive to our form of governance on a fundamental level.

Posted by: Mister Scott (Formerly GWS) at July 31, 2025 02:51 PM (e5NfL) I hear you, but I think they didn't burn them for the same reason that Comey put a whole bunch of files on a secret server location. Sequestering government files isn't illegal, while destroying them is. They were probably hoping some Harris/Trump rando would burn the files, so they would stay in the clear.

There are backups of backups, printouts of various documents, likely copied and re-copied. They're notorious for keeping everything. And hiding what they never want you to see. But it's sloppy. Think; millions of Federal employee retirement papers in a mine shaft for decades upon decades. Typed notes and testimony from the "JFK files" stashed away, then scanned and made available. I'm not at all surprised to hear that so-called burn bags of documents were "discovered." Not burned. And I'll bet the info on them is in digital format right now, on a server, at the FBI's HQ or an off site backup site. All the security processes in the world can't stop someone with intent to circumvent them and do whatever they want... but the inclination of FedGov as a whole is to preserve "everything." In my 34 years as a Fed IT I can't recall but once or twice data actually being "lost forever."

Posted by: Case at July 31, 2025 03:33 PM (q3kYF) 263 Sources told Fox News Digital that one of the documents FBI officials found in a burn bag was the classified annex to former special counsel John Durham's final report, which includes the underlying intelligence he reviewed. Which makes the first thing to do is to call Durham in for a hearing, and, under oath, ask him to testify as to whether or not he is the author of the "classified annex". If he says, "Yes, I am", then all hell will break out. Posted by: mrp at July 31, 2025 03:33 PM (rj6Yv) 264 He's actually a pastor in the Slapaho church.

Posted by: Jolo at July 31, 2025 04:12 PM (QZdNa) 394 I have seen something like this before: the 2009 University of East Anglia Climate Research Unit Climategate scandal. Don’t bother reading the Wikipedia article on it: that’s a complete cover-up! What it was is somebody inside the East Anglia CRU copied the email files on the server at the East Anglia Climate Research Unit and posted them online. I downloaded a copy from a Russian server using my university account. It had all the gory details about how they had to “Hide the Decline!” Because if they had just used what the data showed, there wouldn’t be any dramatic heat rise in the late 20th century: no, they had to fiddle with the data or else it would show a decline not a rise! This just goes to show how shoddy the work was to begin with. Anyway, the format of the email dump was such that it was an inside job: someone who had access to the server had a guilty conscience and took the whole compacted email file system and put it online. It was disappeared from Western servers very quickly, and nowadays all you hear is that it was “debunked”. It wasn’t: they’re just lying. Burn bags unburned made me think someone inside the FBI has a guilty conscience. Posted by: NemoMeImpuneLacessit at July 31, 2025 04:17 PM (FwJ+V) 395 Well, Jesus did say to render unto Caesar.

Posted by: Eromero at July 31, 2025 04:23 PM (LHPAg) 397 Ahemmm, based on my time in the late 80s and early 90s, working in SCIFs in America and elsewhere, the "secret room" mentioned is probably a room inside a secured area, even in the corrupt rotten FBI, that stores classified intelligence. It holds the Intel paper bags that are marked and sealed, verified by at least two credentialed individuals, who are later burned in segregated incinerators. There is distinctive striping on the bags and they are sealed in a way that reveals tampering or reopening of the bag. Because they have to be segregated in a specific space, that's why they might have referred to it as a "secret" type room. FYI .. Posted by: Ockams razor at July 31, 2025 04:47 PM (WqWLp) 398 We've heard this bullshit before regarding Epstein. It'll turn out to be nothing. Either start collecting scalps or GTFOOTW. Posted by: TC at July 31, 2025 04:54 PM (cHOHf) 399 What I read were the bags were in a different secret room, as if someone took then from the room where they were supposed to be burned, and hid them until they could be released. They also mentioned how any whistle blowing to the inspector general was squashed, and the person retaliated against, so I'm guessing whoever hid them knew they couldn't release any of it, until all the Clinton/Obama rot was out of the FBI, so they just hoped hiding them away would work out (since they'd never be able to relieve them from the building). I'm guessing a lot of Epstein stuff never had someone save it, hence why nothing is there to be released.
