UNC Faculty Makes Terrorist Demand: We'll Withhold All Students' Grades Unless the Administration Promises Amnesty for the Pro-Terror "Protesters"

The terrorists-in-training were initially permitted to protest -- until they began to "take over" the school and make it unusable by actual students.

UNC-Chapel Hill police charged 36 members of a pro-Palestinian "Gaza solidarity encampment" Tuesday morning after warning the group to remove its tents from campus or face possible arrest, suspension or expulsion from the university. University officials confirmed Tuesday evening that 30 people -- including 10 students -- were cited for trespassing and released on site after they refused to leave the encampment at Polk Place, the university's main quad. Twenty of those cited are not affiliated with the university. Six more demonstrators were charged and taken to the Orange County jail for booking, after which they were released on a written promise to appear in court. At least one person was charged with assault on a government official and resist, delay and obstruct, according to UNC police reports.

The arrests were part of a tension-filled day between demonstrators and law enforcement, with the protest escalating to physical struggles around a flagpole in the center of Polk Place when an American flag was taken down and a Palestinian flag was hung in its place. Protesters also threw water on Interim Chancellor Lee Roberts and the officers as they worked to rehang the flag.

Some protesters attempted to push past the police but did not appear to be successful.

UNC canceled classes Tuesday afternoon for the rest of the day, on the university's last day of classes for the semester. The school said it would also suspend all non-mandatory operations.

...

Sofie, an SJP organizer who did not give her last name, said Monday morning that the group planned to stay in the encampment until the university complies with its demands. "We're going to be out here until the university discloses, divests and actually ends complicity in the genocide against the Palestinian people carried out by the U.S. and Israel, Sofie said. In a news release Tuesday, the university said campus police "calmly approached the group" at 6 a.m. and detained people who refused to leave. "During that time, the protesters attempted to block the UNC Police vehicles by standing in front of them and throwing items at officers," the UNC release stated.

...

Members of the encampment who were willing to risk arrest, indicated by wearing a red wristband, gathered near the group's tents, while those not willing to do so remained at a distance.

Dividing the protest cadres into color-coded groups segregated based on how many laws they're willing to break, and how much violence they are prepared to use, is an antifa/Black Bloc practice.

Those wearing orange wristbands were willing to serve as "jail support."

...

At noon, the demonstrators began marching to South Building, on the other end of the quad. The group, hundreds strong, chanted "Free, free Palestine," and "long live the intifada," among other chants.

The protesters were allowed to do their stupid pro-terrorism exercises so long as they did not interfere with the actual business of the schools. Just like the scorpion that must always sting the frog whose back it rides on, they quickly showed their true natures as destroyers and began invading and "taking over" classrooms.

The SJP is urging professors to withhold grades for any students unless these terrorists are granted amnesty.

They really appreciate the Palestinian Way of taking hostages and issuing demands. Maybe they should all move to that most shitty of all shithole countries.

[A] group of 800 professors at the school are signing a letter demanding that the school reverse all of the suspensions.


The student encampment located on Polk Place was an example of the kind of peaceful free expression that our university claims to uphold. Free speech is often challenging; it can make people uncomfortable, and it can grow heated. But until that speech crosses the line into violence or obstruction, it must be protected, even at the cost of discomfort or patches of grass yellowed by tents. The administration's decision to call in police from across the state to storm our students' encampment at 5:30 in the morning on Tuesday, April 30, created a militarized and unsafe climate on the UNC campus. It subjected the very students it is charged with protecting to violence and trauma...

The university must immediately dismiss all suspensions and other charges against students involved in the protest, return the confiscated belongings of our students, remove the fence around the flagpole in the quad, and re-open Campus Y in recognition of its central importance to our university community.

In short, they want amnesty for everyone involved in the protests. There were no threat included in the letter signed by the professors but the UNC Chapter of SJP is trying to add one. If amnesty isn't granted, they want professors to withhold students' grades.


UNC SJP is seeking to use withheld grades to pressure administrators to reverse student discipline. The group said in a news release that instructors are "withholding grades and demanding the UNC-CH administration grant all protesters amnesty."

At least one professor has indicated he is going to do this until the school meets his (or her) demands.

UNC claims they'll sanction any professor who actually attempts to damage students by withholding their grades.

Fire them.

North Carolina must rewrite the law ending tenure for any professor who refuses to do his job for any reason, if that university takes any state aid.

And then: Fire them.

We cannot live in a society in which the left is always threatening the rest of us into giving them special privileges and immunities, as if they were an imperial noble caste.

In 2024 there isn't anyone who is more misquoted than RFK Jr.

Doesn't mean anyone has to like him or agree with him, but there are disingenuous things said about what he's said left and right, and it doesn't help their arguments, whoever is making them.

Well, maybe it does, because people are stupid, and if a newspaper says something happened, lots of people believe it happened.

AstraZeneca Withdraws Its Vaccine Worldwide, Citing Unacceptable Level of Dangerous Side Effects

You don't say.


The British pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca has decided to globally withdraw its COVID-19 vaccine, citing a rare and dangerous side effect associated with the jab.


The news was first reported by The Telegraph, which confirmed that the company had voluntarily withdrawn its "marketing authorisation," meaning it will no longer be available for purchase.

The paper reported:


The Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid vaccine is being withdrawn worldwide, months after the pharmaceutical giant admitted for the first time in court documents that it can cause a rare and dangerous side effect.

The vaccine can no longer be used in the European Union, after the company voluntarily withdrew its "marketing authorisation". The application to withdraw the vaccine was made on March 5 and came into effect on Tuesday. Similar applications will be made in the coming months in the UK and in other countries that had approved the vaccine, known as Vaxzevria.

The decision to withdraw it brings to an end the use of the jab, which was heralded by Boris Johnson as a "triumph for British science" and credited with saving more than six million lives. AstraZeneca said the vaccine was being removed from markets for commercial reasons. It said the vaccine was no longer being manufactured or supplied, having been superseded by updated vaccines that tackle new variants.


AstraZeneca has come under intense scrutiny over recent months over evidence that their version of the COVID-19 vaccine, known as Vaxzevria, has caused dozens of cases of Thrombosis with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (TTS), leading to at least 81 deaths. Around 50 victims and grieving relatives are also suing the company as a result.

Oh, thrombosis? You mean arterial thrombosis? Clots inside blood vessels that cause heart attacks and deaths?

Including in young people, who of course are rarely victims of heart attacks?

Are those the sort of thromboses you mean?

Thrombosis is a blood clot within blood vessels that limits the flow of blood. Acute venous and arterial thromboses are the most common cause of death in developed countries. The mortality rate varies with the location and acuity of thrombosis. Myocardial infarctions and cerebrovascular accidents (CVAs) account for the highest proportion of thrombosis-associated deaths in the United States.

have any allergies
had a severe allergic reaction after receiving a previous dose of any COVID-19 vaccine
have had myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) or pericarditis (inflammation of the lining outside the heart)
have a fever
have a bleeding disorder or are on a blood thinner

58 I declined to be vaxxed, and successfully convinced my family to, as well. That was mostly because it was obvious on the face of it that no vaccine could prevent COVID, and that I was being bullied into doing some nonsense. While I was a bit worried about side effects, it wasn't really a motivator for me - I figured those wouldn't have a major effect on the populace at large, and that the vaccine was more useless than dangerous.

That appears to have been incorrect. More evidence comes out practically daily that these injections were all pretty damn dangerous.

Whether it was a leak or intentionally released from China, American politicians used it to intentionally kill people here - look, for example, at the politicians that sent patients with COVID to nursing homes.

132 Most aggravating is that the vax manufacturers got immunity (of some sort) for any side effects. Which tells me there was at least an inkling of doubt about the possible side effects or death.

So there's likely no class action suits to come about if the immunity sticks.

What's galling is that something as trivial as an Xbox feature that doesn't work quite right will result in a multi-million dollar class action suit while death or some debilitating side effect from a poorly researched and developed vaccine nets zilch.

Fraud and manufacturing defects are excluded. Apparently lots of foreign DNA in the Pfizer (probably the Moderna too) vaxx. Pfizer also vaxxed its entire control group claiming that the vaxx was so successful that they could not deny those benefits to the control group.

Shit like that makes them liable if it can be proved that they lied to the FDA to get EUA approval. Lobbying to government to make the shots mandatory might also expose them to risk.

I think Pfizer and Moderna in this country are probably going to end up as scapegoats just like the Sacklers and Purdue Pharma ended up. Lots of money to be bled from those companies by lawfare.

I lost 95% of my respect for my employer back then. Yesterday, fearful of bad optics about pro-Pali protests, they actually refused to let us walk out of the front gate. The cops insisted we walk most of a mile in the heat out of our way for fear of "protests," even though there were none nearby. The "pfft" sound you heard was the remaining 5% of my respect blowing away in the wind.

153 Right. I still think it was *more* stupid and reckless and insane and power-trippy than it was dangerous in terms of effects, but that is not strong praise.

I suspect if you unravel the whole thing...

Fauci wanted a corona virus vaccine. He paid EcoHealth to go work on it in China after he wasn't allowed to do more in the US.

China then released the modified virus they were working on (intentionally or not who knows) and Fauci immediately knew it was his fault. He went back to his partners in crime in Pfizer/Moderna and asked them if they were close on the vaccine. They lied and said almost.

So they faked the testing data and convinced Fauci they just needed a bit more money and they'd not only save his ass but get him a noble prize.

The problem was the clot shot doesn't stop the transmission of COVID (remember that's what the faked testing data said it did) and while it had some minor impact on the severity of the symptoms it increased the risk of cancer, stroke, and heart damage immensely.

J&J also had one of the rare CEO's (Woody Johnson) at the helm that supported Trump in 2020.

But even there, like Astra Zenica, adverse reactions pile up the more that you get vaxxed. Astra Zenica was a two part injection while J&J was one. Both of them used a variety of adrenovirus that was not infectious to humans as a carrier for the spike protein. The spike protein is apparently what does the damage in the vaxxes and why repeated shots of vaxx make it worse as well as destroy natural immunity.

I am not sure it ever made it to be administered. I do know that some states and localities ended up buying it but I think it was traded overseas or simply unadministered here aka spoiled.

Pfizer and Moderna also had the political support for contracting that Astra Zenica lacked here. It was, however, widely administered in Euro land and the UK. Both the UK and Euroland have demonstrated elevated 'extra' unexplained deaths from previous years in 2022 and 2023 that we see in the US.

So many people were put through hell for refusing to be injected with this mRNA crap. I refused. The requirements to stay employed while unvaccinated were annoying, but I put up with it. Elsewhere, many people had it much worse.

There has been a lot of conspiracy-related speculation about that and some of it may be true, but I don't think it was primary or even necessary.

Monomania is weird, and the vaccine push was monomaniacal. This was *the* moment for Modern Medical Science. We had a novel new virus, total alignment (by force) of the medical, governmental and industrial complexes, new technology and methods and top experts who all were driving toward one and only goal: whip this thing with a real-time vaccine.

The vaccine mania was self-accelerating. The more they pursued, the more singular the focus became. *Nothing* could distract from the glory of history's fastest and best-managed and highest-tech vaccine development, production and rollout. Nothing could threaten the vaccine. Even if someone important *had* been thinking about treatment protocol (some were), they would have been stymied (they were) because it was not a vaccine.

Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius

As I have mentioned before, I did the research and concluded that J&J was the least bad option as far as vaxx was to keep my job due to a mandate.

mRNA vaxx history was simply awful in animal trials.

I also had preexisting immunity issue especially to airborne viruses and had already had Covid once by the time the vaxx rolled around with rather severe post infection symptoms. At the time, it was unclear about natural immunity and whether it would actually help so I took the shot to keep my job and insurance that paid for my rather expensive biologics (monoclonal antibodies) needed for inflammatory arthritis.

I can't claim ignorance like some can, I knew that the J&J was a risk to take even though the adrenovirus approach had been used before for some other vaccines. At the time, I took the least bad option that I perceived at the time because the first time I had Covid, I damn near ended up in the hospital and had a very nasty bronchitis infection afterwards.

Ask some paralegal about retrieving government documents during a search and ask them if they think they got them all.

One, because my employer was cool AF and refused any mandates from their end. I didn't have to fight it (though I did become an ordained minister to save my wife from her employer's mandate). I was lucky. But I had a very sick child and was trying to buy a home for my family. I needed that money and that job. Badly. I don't know what I'd have done if they were fascist pigs, instead of holding the goddamned decency line.

The other - I had a young coworker whose job involved a lot of travel, and she pretty much had to cave in to work in a lot of the country. She didn't want it, but got it, and confided to me later that she felt afraid and ashamed because of it.

The whole "pure blood" thing is dumb. A lot of decent people got railroaded.

Once released into human populations, Fauci shut down investigations into the origins of the disease, forced the entire western world to get vaccinated (or lose their jobs, not travel, forgo public activities), and got governments to pay for the whole thing, no questions asked. In America, he helped negotiate liability protections to prevent injury victims from suing.

There was never such a spotlight on the evil of our leaders and the medical industry in general. We do well to be skeptical in the future.

300 WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE J&J VACCINE, AND THE PFIZER AND MODERNA VACCINES? ... The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are made using messenger RNA, or mRNA, a technology that delivers a bit of “genetic code” to cells to produce the surface spike protein. The J&J vaccine uses a harmless adenovirus vector engineered to carry the “genetic code” for the surface spike protein. Once the adenovirus enters cells, they use that code to make spike proteins.

WHAT IS THE J&J VACCINE MADE OF? ... The vaccine, known as JNJ-78436735 or Ad26.COV2.S, is an adenovirus type 26 modified to produce the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein. This adenovirus vaccine is used as a single intramuscular injection, and when it enters a cell it produces the vaccine protein but cannot replicate inside the cell or cause illness.

Most people do not care to admit mistakes and fail to learn from them. Plus the fear of death from something they cannot see or hear so they adopt a mask as a talisman. Some people own firearms for similar reasons--they don't bother to learn how to use them but figure that mere presentation of the magic talisman will make the 'bad' go away.

Already was the law partially--way back when, the Fedgov established any challenges to vaccines had to go before a special court and only damages for an individual, not the vaccine itself nor the mfg, was on the table if you won.

The law passed by Congress for dealing with Covid, granting money, etc. came with the strings of requiring total immunity which Trump signed.

It was not just Trump but virtually our whole Dem and GOP parties in Congress that did the deed and panic drove the decision. To the degree that Trump may or may not have thought that Covid was a biological warfare response to Trump's economic warfare with China was also on his plate.

I hope that people of all ages experienced this "teachable moment" and it took it to heart. It's difficult to find a more illuminating example than COVID.

There is a guy named Ed Dowd, who once worked for Goldman Sachs (he quit), who wrote a book called "Cause Unknown" that delves into the actuarial data from insurance companies for people 18-49. He shows, pretty convincingly that "Something" happened in 2021 and mortality and disability statistis kind of took off.
He also discusses that a lot of older people that likely died from the effects of the vaccine are not counted, as those mortalities were "pulled forward" for that demographic. So actuarial statistics for the older cohort are largely difficult to parse.
The British National Health Service actually kept pretty honest statistics on Covid and Vaccine problems, which largely is responsible for what Astra Zeneca has done.

From what I read, Kristi was forced into that position by the State Leg. Her initial thought was to follow the corporate and media line about Covid.

Covid is kinda like WWII in nature. By hindsight, easily avoidable, but a helluva lot of foreign policy and military blunders paved the way for a lot of deaths.

WWI made the Spanish Flu much more transmissible and deadly via having camps of a bunch of young healthy dudes incubating the virus and then spreading it across the world. Some indication in post war research was that applying the new wonder drug of aspirin to those guys ended up killing some of them.

Governments will make mistakes and rarely admit doing so. I am just content if they learn lessons from them and don't repeat the mistakes and I fully realize that I might be one of the early death casualties of that vaxx.

RFKJr. Told a Court During His Divorce Proceedings That a Worm Had Eaten Part of His Brain and Died Inside of His Skull, Giving Him "Cognitive Problems"

That reads like a juiced headline but it's actually 100% accurate.

wormsateintohisbrain.jpg

The Times is attempting to take Kennedy out of the race.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. admitted in a 2012 deposition that a worm had eaten part of his brain and then died inside his head, according to a report by The New York Times.

Key Details:

RFK Jr. made the unusual admission during a deposition for his 2012 divorce proceedings.

He began experiencing cognitive problems and memory loss in 2010, admitting in the deposition two years later, "I have cognitive problems, clearly."

Upon seeing a New York doctor regarding his cognitive problems, he was ultimately informed that the issues were likely "caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died," Kennedy said in his deposition.

Diving Deeper:

The New York Times report indicates that Kennedy made the startling revelation during his 2012 divorce deposition. He reportedly began experiencing cognitive issues and both short and long-term memory loss in 2010, shortly after the death of his uncle, Senator Edward Kennedy, from brain cancer. Initially, Kennedy feared he had a brain tumor, but a second opinion from a New York doctor revealed a different cause. The doctor informed Kennedy that a dark spot on his brain scans was due to a dead parasite. Kennedy testified that the doctor told him the parasite had eaten a part of his brain before dying.

In addition to the brain parasite, Kennedy also admitted to suffering from mercury poisoning, which he believes was caused by his frequent consumption of tuna fish sandwiches.

Um. I don't know whether to take all of this seriously, or if Kennedy is just a hypochondriac and medical paranoiac.

However, Kennedy's health history is not without other complications. The anti-vaccine activist and conspiracy theorist has openly discussed his past struggles with drug addiction.

Obviously the Times is attempting to destroy RFKJr. so that he doesn't take votes from Biden (who himself has a worm-riddled brain and "cognitive problems").

I'm not sure if I should root for their effort. RFKJr. seems to take more votes from Trump.

MXMNews criticizes Biden for his Basement Strategy.

Even the New York Times has criticized Biden for not doing any interviews, except with the likes of Steven Colbert and Howard Stern.

The one thing the leftwing press will criticize a Democrat for is not giving the press the access and deference they feel entitled to.

Basement Biden? Biden "systematically avoiding interviews," report

Quick Hit:

President Biden's systematic avoidance of media interviews has raised concerns among journalists and the public alike. With the fewest interviews given by any president in over 40 years, Biden's lack of media engagement has sparked speculation about his cognitive abilities and the transparency of his administration.

Key Details:

President Biden has given fewer interviews than any president in over 40 years, leading to criticism from media outlets including The New York Times.

Concerns have been raised about the precedent this sets for future presidents and the potential impact on democratic accountability.

Despite these concerns, Biden's communications team has shifted focus towards social media influencers to disseminate the president's message.

Diving Deeper:

The New York Times, which endorsed Biden's presidency in 2020, has publicly criticized the president for his lack of engagement with the press. In a statement, the newspaper expressed concern that Biden is "systematically avoiding interviews," "undermines an important norm" and sets a "dangerous precedent" for future presidents to evade scrutiny and accountability.

Former President Donald Trump has also taken a jab at Biden's reluctance to sit for interviews. In a recent Time Magazine interview, Trump questioned whether Biden would be capable of participating in such an interview, implying concerns about his cognitive abilities.


...

Despite these criticisms, Biden's communications team has adopted a different strategy, focusing on social media influencers to communicate the president's message. Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki defended this approach, arguing that the type of interviews Biden takes are more important than the quantity.

Talking with shriveled-dick hypochondriac and pornographer Howard Stern is a "quality interview"?

Even Stern admits that he went easy on Joe Biden.

Stern then addressed critics who claimed his questions to Biden were "too soft."

"My whole goal was not to sit there and talk politics. I'm not into that. I don't want to debate policy," he claimed." My only agenda [was] I would like to get to know the president because I suspect he's a very meaningful, very thoughtful guy."

"You've gotta f*cking be kidding me," Stern finally exclaimed.

Quality interview.

Yes. Anyone still think Kennedy would take more votes from Trump than Joey Shitbrains?

I know there is some debate on this on this site. I personally think it's obvious that Kennedy in the race helps Trump. The Democraps and their media whores obviously think the same thing, or they wouldn't be trying to get Kennedy out of the race.

Then Trump comes along. They could vote for him, but his style is just too much, especially after eight years. They were willing to tolerate it once because they hated Hillary, but voting for a Kennedy, a real Kennedy, will take them back to Camelot.

Also, Detroit saying there are 1000 ballots in a box with ten which, it may surprise you, is not a legal thing to do and against the law.

Republicans need to test potential candidates by seeing if they can walk on water.

Even then, it must be understood that the Republican party’s biggest problem is that it is an illegal political organization. There is one, and one party only, with the sole, exclusive right to rule America as it and it alone sees fit.

I know there is some debate on this on this site. I personally think it's obvious that Kennedy in the race helps Trump. The Democraps and their media whores obviously think the same thing, or they wouldn't be trying to get Kennedy out of the race.

It is all about the states in play and how RFK Jr plays to specific demographics there.

Aggregate national polling is not worth a crap in this case as RFK is very unlikely to win but where he might be a spoiler is in specific states that have a bunch of old boomer Dems and maybe Dem leaners that are misty eyed for the Kennedy mystique. That would be the Midwest and NE most likely.

In the South, in places like AZ or GA, I doubt RFK is going to get much play but I could be wrong because I am relying solely on demographics to make that prediction.

Different circumstances. Despite some claims Trump was never in any danger of losing the Republican nomination as is now obvious. Debates couldn't have done much to help him, just hurt him.

Biden is losing right now and one of the biggest concerns lots of voters have is his mental condition which is only getting worse. It would be very risky to put Biden on a stage with Trump for 90 minutes and let people see the constrast. The issues and answers would almost be secondary.

They are already hiding him as much as possible. A debate between Trump and Biden would draw an enormous audience.

My opinion, and worth every penny, but I think she knows Kensington is an embarrassment seen across the country in videos. While other big city Mayors have let the problem fester and grow she seems to be taking a proactive approach.

This is only the first six months of her term but she seems solid. I don't go into Philly any more but I don't wish it ill will. I hope she succeeds and shows other Mayors the way.

“One word: VINDICATED.”

Joseph Rossi details how both the hand count audit and the certified machine recount in Fulton County have been found to be in violation of Georgia election law.

And guess what? It’s enough to alter the outcome of the election

“Does the investigation confirm that there are missing ballot images?”

“Yes.”

Case closed. No cover up operation can conceal the fact that Fulton County did not have the votes it claimed it had. The recount could not replicate the original results.

Oh, and it’s “news” to Fulton County that they are missing over 300,000 ballot images from Election Day.

“Then let’s look at the paper ballots.”

Secretary of State office: “No.”

You can’t say your proof is the paper ballots…and then not show anyone the paper ballots.

Especially when there is no electronic proof (.SHA files) for hundreds of thousands of votes

Kennedy's giving both Right and Left centrist moderates a viable alternative, at least in their minds. Too bad for them Kennedy's not a viable candidate as an independent. He might've been viable had he been able to primary Biden as a Democrat within the Democratic Party fold, but the DNC wasn't having it. Kennedy's now a pariah in Democratic Party circles.

Yes, our political class is genuinely awful and oligarchs with open checkbooks are largely to blame for it. Plus people that consume the media believing it is reality rather than a constructed narrative in nature.

Basically, apply skepticism to everything nowadays and triangulate your way to some sort of fix on reality.

Robert Heinlein, in his Take Back Your Government primer, mentions relying on how to use the opposition's media to figure out what is going on. Basically the same technique that trial lawyers use with a hostile witness--look for statements against interests.

226 Considering Biden and Fetterman, you'd think Dems would tread more lightly around this story:

the most concerning part of this story is not the worm necessarily. The far more concerning piece of this story is "ate part of my brain". Losing a part of your brain, no matter how small, always matters and is a very big deal.

Absent publicizing his medical records, we are left relying upon a decidedly unreliable source for this information: RFK Jr himself. We've got evidence that he does that very badly indeed all over the damn place, and none that he does it well.

He is so damn crazy it is possible he is hallucinating the whole thing.

Not gonna claim to be an expert on campaign strategy but I'm guessing "I have brain damage" isn't a good one.

Are we to believe someone who gets vaccines so incorrect would be a reliable source? Are we to believe that he sees credible Doctors or just the ones that agree with his crazy stuff?

Waters blamed others for his own depression and misdeeds. The wall album was conceived in part after Waters lured a screaming fan closer at a concert and then spat on the guy.

Pete Townshend had a similar breakdown a bit earlier in the 70's but he turned his depression inwards into substance abuse and self loathing. One reviewer proclaimed Pete Townshend's suicide note composed the songs on Who By the Numbers.

The Who Are You Song was written after Pete went on a bender after getting settlement checks from suing his old managers. He includes in the song (preaching from my chair)when he met up with two of the Sex Pistols in a bar and was raging that the Sex Pistols had to carry on the Revolution as the Who had become everything Pete loathed. Paul Cook and Steve Jones (the two Sex Pistol musicians) were alarmed and told Pete that they liked the Who actually and didn't want them to break up.

270 " favorite moment from election 2020 was...PA?...pulling three trenches of mail in ballots in a row with the same totals. 1123 Biden v 10 Trump or something like that."

there were many statistical impossibilities like that, but "No Standing" stopped every lawsuit. Or "yes you've shown massive fraud, but you did not prove that was enough to change the election".

Like finding stolen goods in someone's home, but not finding ALL the items, so "you are free to go". And the criminals will be even better at their craft in 2024. They are well funded, rested, and have put those that complain in court or jail. Navarro is about halfway done with his four months for not appearing before the kangaroo court.

Meh, I find the Wall has quite fine musicians but a quite nihilistic message. It does have Toni Tennille cameo vocal as the girl marveling at all those fabulous guitars.

The movie accentuates rather than reduces the nihilism.

Compare it to another two album masterpiece, Quadrophenia which deals with some of the same issues but from a fan's point of view. Basically everything around him, society, parents, his mates, his love, religion, and even rock has failed him but at the end, he has learned love is what he is missing after he loses everything and is stuck on a rock during a storm. More hopeful message and leaves the final fate of Jimmy unresolved. Better movie from the album too.

Don't be ridiculous. Nikki brings nothing personally to the ticket nor politically. My guess is that Trump will pick a loyalist. He seems to have learned his lesson about the politics of personnel. He dumped Ronna after Nikki dropped out and put his daughter in law there.

The RNC also dumped as the RNC chief counsel Charlie Spies who was a buddy of Marc Elias--Dem lawfare specialist. This was after people told Trump about how awful this guy was and that he was no fighter against election fraud.

The GOPe part of the party is dying; the only question is whether they take the rest of the party with them.

356 >>Agreed. Trump is totally addicted to pub.

Because he's very good at it. He got billions in unearned media in 2016 and shocked the experts and won the presidency.

He's now using the free media the left idiotically gave him with their lawfare to get way more coverage than they would have given him if there were no lawsuits.

It's pretty amusing to hear people claim Trump is stupid when he is arguably the most successful politican in our lifetimes and he's done it largely on his own doing it his way.

Basically everything around him, society, parents, his mates, his love, religion, and even rock has failed him but at the end, he has learned love is what he is missing after he loses everything and is stuck on a rock during a storm. More hopeful message and leaves the final fate of Jimmy unresolved. Better movie from the album too.

2. Don't pick someone who wasn't born in the United States. Like, for example, Jamaica.
3. Don't pick someone who was a Democrat up to five minutes ago and who voted for freaking Bernie Sanders.
4. Don't pick someone who has bashed Trump. Like Mitt Burgum, Nimrata Haley, and many others.

Is it really that hard to pick someone decent who's not from Florida, wasn't born in another country, isn't a recent Democrat, and hasn't bashed Trump?

Judge Delays Trump's Florida Documents Trial to Investigate the FBI's Mishandling of Evidence; Georgia Court Agrees to Hear Trump's Appeal to Disqualify Fani Willis

This isn't even about the FBI falsifying the evidence by photographing documents inside of "CLASSIFIED" folders that they brought to the crime scene and put the documents in.

This is about Jack Smith's own misrepresenations to the court about his sloppy evidence handling.

Judge Aileen Cannon's decision to indefinitely delay former President Trump's trial stems from significant pretrial litigation issues, including a crucial admission by Special Counsel Jack Smith that may reshape the prosecution's standing. In a recent filing, Smith disclosed that the documents from Mar-a-Lago might not have been maintained in their original order, contradicting earlier representations to the court.

I confess, I have no idea why the ordering of the documents is important, but apparently it is. Anyone know why this is important?


This revelation came as part of the Special Counsel's response to a co-defendant's request for a delay to prepare his defense, asserting that the state of discovery provided was inadequate. Smith's admission acknowledges that some boxes of documents had been accessed and their contents possibly rearranged, which he claims still does not affect the integrity of the evidence. However, this could provide a substantial basis for Trump's defense team to argue evidence tampering.

Moreover, Smith admitted that the replacement of classified documents with placeholders was not initially disclosed accurately to the court, which could lead to significant legal repercussions for the prosecution. Judge Cannon now faces the task of deciding how to address these admissions, including the potential sanctioning of the Special Counsel and further delays in the trial proceedings.

Meanwhile, in the matter of MSD (Mobile Snizz Dispensary) Fani Willis:

The cowardly, biased chickenshit political operator posing as a judge did not disqualify her; he gave her a choice to recuse herself, or fire Sweetdick. She chose the latter.

Trump says she should have been disqualified outright. He's right.

The Georgia Court of Appeals has agreed to consider Trump's appeal. This is an "interlocutory" appeal, which is harder to get. Usually appeals are heard after a trial is completed. An interlocutory appeal is a request to hear an appeal while a trial is still underway.

The decision by the intermediate appeals court to take up the case is likely to cause a delay, further reducing the possibility of the case reaching trial before the November general election. This is particularly significant as Trump is expected to be the Republican nominee for president.

Trump's lead attorney in Georgia, Steve Sadow, has expressed that the former president looks forward to presenting arguments to the appeals court as to why the case should be dismissed and why Willis "should be disqualified for her misconduct in this unjustified, unwarranted political persecution." A spokesperson for Willis declined to comment on the Court of Appeals decision to take up the matter.

29 "I confess, I have no idea why the ordering of the documents is important, but apparently it is. Anyone know why this is important?"

There are a few things going on here. The classified markings in the photo aren't folders, but cover sheets.

First - Now that Smith has confessed to not keeping the documents in their original order, he has also implicitly confessed to not maintaining a proper chain of custody. What order were they in originally? Who changed the order? Why? Under what authority? Where were those changes documented?

Second, and more importantly - Since the chain of custody is suspect (read as: blazingly dishonest, as acknowledged by Smith himself), the entire thing is suspect. Jack Smith can no longer demonstrate that the documents under the planted cover sheets were themselves classified. It is now (from a legal perspective) entirely possible that the FBI planted S and TS cover sheets on blank printer paper and took photographs to 'prove' Trump knowingly kept crypto in his house.

This is - as Joe Biden would say - a big fucking deal.

Ace: Generally documents must be collected, maintained, and produced "in the ordinary course of business." That means they should stay in the same order as they were found. The purpose is to avoid dirty scumbags like Jack Smith rearranging or reordering them to prejudice the other party's case.

That said, this is generally not a big deal. But here, not only did dirty scumbag Jack Smith rearrange the documents to prejudice Trump, he outright lied about it to the judge. I think that's what got the judge (rightly) pissed off.

What I think happened is the judge was already skeptical of the case and Smith's dirty scumbaggery. I think this latest move to postpone the case is her way of saying "I've had enough of this bullshit."

Posted by: Elric Blade at May 08, 2024 12:18 PM (iFTx/)

35 I think I read that the order was important because the docs were filed by date so mixing up the order in the box could affect the defense's case of proving when the docs were packed? Taken?

59 I think the issue with the "evidence order" is that if it's handled improperly, its obvious that it can foul everything up.

Say you have a stapled pack of papers that were SECRET in a box, and a sheet on top of it saying "the following papers are declassified 12DEC2019", unattached (no paperclip/etc).

The FBI raids, empties the box, and "misplaces" the cover sheet (conveniently) or just puts it in the bottom of the stack, not attached to the original documents. But they put one of those "SECRET" coversheet and package it into a folder. Take 100 photos and leak them to the press.

Have they "tampered" with the evidence. Hell yes. Have they influenced the media/jury with the photos of how things were not? Hell Yes.

60 Since the home invasion, where FBI kicked out Trump's lawyer and tried to disable security cameras, (and iirc collect any tapes Trump may have still retained) ... there is no evidence that FBI did not add all sorts of documents, as well as placing spy cams all over Trump's residence.

67 I confess, I have no idea why the ordering of the documents is important, but apparently it is. Anyone know why this is important?
---
Recall, additional boxes were sent later, after the delivery of the initial boxes packed while Trump was leaving the WH?
Those 1st set of boxes likely had the contents cataloged and indexed.

The reason why this is important is, it'll show that Smith took classified docs from the second set-- that Trump et al. had no idea were sent-- and "accidentally" put them into the boxes from the 1st set.

But, there is more: Read the letter and discovery requests filed by Trump's team yesterday.
1) There are serious, serious chain-of-custody issues with the boxes seized.
2) there are massive errors from the "filter" team. As I posited yesterday, it's likely, now almost certainly, that they had no training or experience in handling or identifying classified info.

Note well: Jack has fought tooth and nail to keep Trump from seeing the docs seized. And even harder to keep Trump from knowing who all is involved in the investigation.
His whole case hinges on no one looking under those rocks.

Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at May 08, 2024 12:26 PM (g9W3m)

68 45 It's my non-lawyer understanding that there is a defense position that they boxes were transferred to Florida and hadn't even been looked at (or at least a large % of the boxes), so the actual physical position of docs from what the Govt' says was sent and what was found is particularly important.
If trump didn't ask and didn't look what law could he possibly break type deal.

Happens more than it should. There are two types of defense lawyers--one is there to get the best plea they can obtain for you, the other is a bulldog type that wants to win at trial and pulls no stops to do that.

Unfortunately, almost every public defender is quite literally snowed under with a variety of criminals as clients and has a very scant budget and time to actually defend someone who is innocent. Occasionally, an idealistic type will fight like hell for the relatively rare innocent client but most treat them the same as their other clients that are hardened criminals.

The really good trial lawyers that want to win are expensive and run 10-20k for a run of the mill representation before a grand jury. Trial cost usually starts at about 50k up to the sky especially if defense expert witnesses are required. The other type of paid attorney is there to negotiate the best deal with his buddies in the prosecuting office that they socialize with after hours.

Imagine you're a defendant fighting to stay out of max prison - your lawyer finally gets the entire discovery box of evidence and it's not even consistent with how it has been represented in writing to both you and court at the beginning of the trial...who has been rifling thru it, taking things out, maybe, writing things in? Has anyone changed anything? How would you know without a complete investigation? Why would people be doing that? And why are you just now learning it happened only because you dug around and found out...?

It's taking time, but I'm being vindicated and my enemies are showing their asses!"

Trump's biggest fault is that he still believes in a nation of laws. I don't see how the prosecutorial collapse is going to change his attitude. Therefore, I think he simply will not have the desire to slice like a fucking hammer.

I have maintained that is exactly what happened since the day of the raid. The fib came loaded down with classified garbage documents to plant in Trumps house. Remember those boxes they received from the archives had not been inventoried by Trump or his lawyers by the day of the raid. They could have put in anything they wanted to in those boxes.


And I expect this latest admission by jack smith is cover for that very thing. If they were to take the inventory sheets from the archives and compare them to what the fib said was there it would be totally different.

116 Now that it is clear that the deep state was doing everything in their power to subvert the rightful President during Trump's first term, they are not going to be able to get away with it this time. It has become perfectly clear who the bad actors were, are, and therefore can be avoided.
I was also pleased to see that J.D. Vance won a straw poll for VP. Trump said that he wanted the VP to be someone who could be President. That is not Tulsi Gabbard or Ramaswamy or any House rep with delusions of grandeur.

117 I'd speculate that the 'order' of the files is important because the inventory of records shipped included some photographic record of the shipment and the receiving inspection or the inventory at the destination did as well, and the two don't correlate. That would indicate the shipment was intercepted and possibly tampered with. Meaning the DoJ got caught planting evidence.

126 84 It occurs to me that the judges, DA's and prosecutors/persecutors lined up against Trump are all pretty incompetent. They have all been "briefed" on what the crime allegedly is and what specifically the junta want's Trump charged with. They agreed to do the junta's bidding. But they're incompetent.

I think this is by design. Not that the junta wanted to lose any case against Trump, but rather these people are so stupid they took on cases that no reasonable prosecutor would have. To quote Comey. *spits*

Trump's biggest issue by far is not going to be any belief in the "system" - you have to remember he was trying to be a normal president AND was concerned with being reelected.

His biggest problem is going to be the next Four Year Scandal(s) op(s) they are going to throw at him. J6 was going to be one but after he "lost" they ran it anyway just with slight differences in reporting. That's why antifa was there and organized. They were going to riot and people were going to get killed and they were going to take over Trump's second term with putting Orange Hitler on trial for sending storm troopers to a peaceful protest.

So whatever they have planned next is going to be fucking bad. They need a new Russia and a new J6 and if he is allowed to win, they will have one.

142 As I pointed out yesterday, the whole point of planting and staging all the S and TS sheets--with the impression that those were as original-- was to sweat the valet under the klieg lamps to take a plea.
And get the linchpin allocation that he did commit every element of the crime as alleged. As they did in GA.
And, more importantly, he would agree to testify.

Which was to then be boot-strapped to "prove" Trump also committed the same crime.
Where the valet agreement to testify gets that "admission " in, a loophole around the usual prohibition of admission of guilt of co-conspirators.

I might be wrong [probably, given my post-Lockdown memory!] but I thought it was because the papers were randomly put singly in unrelated boxes. So no rhyme nor reason to their placement, that you'd think a criminal would do so he could find them later; and similarly spread over the most number of boxes instead of collated somehow in a few easy to find and hide boxes doesn't sound too likely.

148 I've been mentioning the story of a wealthy blue town near mine that wants to massively increase taxes to pay for inflation and bloated school system.

The tax increase lost, finally. They had a first "town meeting" style vote where about a thousand people voted, narrowly, for it. Then it had to get through the general ballot and there it lost by a healthy margin. Note more people voted in a local election by a factor of 3 then any local election this town has ever had.

At the same time the woman that had championed torpedoing the tax increase lost narrowly in running for a local office

I take a couple of things from this...even in blue states people don't want blue policies. But...they don't vote normally. Even when you can get them to the polls they don't really pay attention - why would you vote against the tax increase and then for the local official that wants to raise taxes?

Disaster For Trump As Nikki Haley Gets Over 20% Of The GOP Primary Vote In Indiana. Under normal circumstances Haley, who dropped out of the race, shouldn't be getting anything close to 20% of the vote.

A segment of the Republican Party keeps sending the message in these primaries that they do not want Trump to be their party’s nominee. Something is harming Trump and causing a quarter of his party to turn against him. Warning signs flashing all around the Trump campaign that aren’t there for Democrats and Joe Biden. Simply stated, if Trump loses 20% of Republicans in November to either Biden or Kennedy, he will lose the 2024 presidential election.

it appears that the Democrats are getting the message out of what a second term for TSF would mean. For females of child bearing age especially, it has to be downright terrifying.

What's really bizarre to me is how Palin got chosen. Maybe they knew they were going to lose to Captain Historic First and she wasn't quite ready regardless? I knew she was green the first time I saw her interviewed (before she was chosen) so no doubt they knew too.

I think they wildly underestimated her though. Like they didn't expect her to make one of the absolute all time great political speeches, which she did at the RNC. But it's one thing I can't really figure out.

227 Via Jeff Childers at Coffee & COVID:

Trump’s lawyers have offered various legitimate reasons why the FBI’s poor handling of the evidence has fatally compromised the case. For one thing, they’d intended to show that everything in the boxes had been packed in sequential date order, proving the documents were undisturbed from when the National Archives staff originally packed them for Trump to take with him...
But now the documents are all mixed up, not even in the same bankers’ boxes in which they began. Nobody knows anymore.

It seems the Archivist didn't start threatening until after the delivery of the second set of boxes.
And it surprised the Trump team cause they were like. "WTF? We're working on an agreement to sort these."

Why?
Because they knew they planted classified docs in them.
And the raid was based on those planted docs.
And they couldn't dare let Trump's team look at any of the boxes before the raid.
Which planted docs then were "accidentally" intermingled with the docs in the 1st set of boxes.

242 I do defense paralegal work in the military. If I was on Trump's team, I would be furious over the mishandling of the documents.

The order is relevant because the government is saying, "This is what we found, and this is how we found them." The order is important because of the material misrepresentation to the court about the preservation of evidence.

"Is my client guilty?"

"This is what we found."

"Is it? Is it really?"

"Well, I mean, it might be a little out of order."

"How did they get out of order? Were you careless or did you deliberately arrange the documents for your own purposes?"

[profuse sweating ensues]

"During the course of the operation, did you introduce any classified materials into the files?"

"No! I would never!"

"How can we be so sure considering you have already lied to this court?"

And: Can we appreciate the fact that as the government claims Trump mishandled classified materials, their own people failed to properly account for the materials, used them to stage publicity photos, and then made false official statements about how they conducted their investigation upon which everything rests?

2. They faced no penalties for blatantly disobeying and stonewalling him the last time around, so why not just do it again?

3. The shitstorm from installing Trump will be so severe and so deadly that the public will beg for the Dems / military / UN to come in and give Trump the full Ceaucescu.

254 I think this has been mentioned but those cover sheets with the "SECRET" and "CLASSIFIED" markings are themselves controlled documents. Not just anyone has access to them and they're accounted for. It's also against policy to have them photographed.

A country that goes down fighting has a chance to rise again. A country that surrenders due to craven desire to avoid a fight will not.

Simply put, if you go back into a time machine to any point from 1776 to 1787, you will find so many crises in civil and military governance that you will lose track of them from the sheer volume of them.

The whole Revolution thing should not have worked and the weak post Revolutionary War US government should have fallen apart. Nothing did, like Geo. Washington and Nathaniel Greene, we must have in mind, "We fight, get beat, and fight again."

Willpower has an outsized impact on political as well as military fights and that is why the media spends all its time dividing us and demoralizing us. Screw 'em and their lume perfumed asses.

276 What triggered the raid was that Trump's lawyers had conceded the Archivist could obtain the docs .
And had, or were very close to, proposing mutually agreeable dates for all parties to enter the locked room and review.
The room that was locked and not accessed by anyone per prior agreement.
So no one on Trump's team had looked in all the boxes.
Especially the second set.
So the pretext of the raid wasn't just that Trump had the docs, but that he was also refusing to return them.
Note well, that is how they laughably claim Pence and Biden stealing classified docs is different, because they "cooperated" in n the return.

If the documents were all in chronological order, it could show that they hadn't been reviewed yet, so Trump wasn't aware of them and greedily hanging on to documents...he just hadn't gotten around to that set yet.

333 This occurs because there has been more emphasis on answers than process.
Education has failed to base knowledge on the process of learning, which naturally enables those that know how to continue to accumulate for themselves.

Unfortunately, the process is now "Google it." There's something to be said for having a native store of knowledge to call upon when needed, even if it isn't directly relevant.

334 Here is the problem:

"But now defense attorneys claim, and the special counsel concedes, that some placeholders do not match the relevant document. “Following defense counsel’s review of the physical boxes…and the documents produced in classified discovery, defense counsel has learned that the cross-reference provided by the Special Counsel’s Office does not contain accurate information,” attorneys representing Trump’s co-defendant Waltine Nauta wrote in a May 1 motion."

335 The order isn't necessarily important, but the fact that they already lied about the order indicates that they broke their chain of custody, and can no longer be trusted as to what documents were there in the first place.

Literally their entire case is that Trump had the documents in his possession. When they break chain of custody and admit that they messed with the documents, they can no longer prove what documents were there in the first place, and their entire case is gone.

337 "I confess, I have no idea why the ordering of the documents is important, but apparently it is. Anyone know why this is important?"

Think of the Dreyfus Affair in France: doctored letters, forged documents created by the French Secret service to convict an innocent man of offering military secrets to Germany. It's the same playbook. Here they just placed documents into classified folders to create the "crime" and try to convict a man of offering secrets to the Russians.

They really think we are stupid.

338 Well we can all rest assured that there can only be 2-4 FBI suspects in this manipulation of evidence "investigation".

"Only" the top of the food chain within the FBI are the ones who are "possibly" rearranging, adding, subtracting etc..etc..etc. classified material (of which every POTUS has laying around).

Thankfully none of the rank and file FBI agents are involved in this. They can't be according to the average Joe................Right?

341 When I was on various juries I was amazed at how badly they performed to evaluate information, evidence, or think clearly.

Now I realize that the judicial system is so hopelessly flawed in the manner judges are assigned, where trials are held, how charges are brought and approved, that justice at the hands of the government is at best a Monty Python skit.

Wednesday Morning Rant

At Least the Aliens are Winning, Right?

Last week's jobs report was underwhelming to say the least. In the wake of the headline "not as much as growth as expected" conclusion, the junta unsurprisingly trotted out the same old tired lines as always. Bidenomics is great. America is back. Don't let the wreckers gaslight you into thinking things are bad. Etc. You can set your watch by it, just like Obama's "green shoots" and "jobs created or saved."

One of the downsides to press coverage on the employment reports is that it ignores - probably because the "expert" journalists don't even know about it - everything outside the executive summary. The internals of BLS reporting are often interesting and if you want any context outside the headline number and the biggest movers by economic sector, you have to dig in and learn what to look for. Journalists can't usually be bothered, if they are even capable.

One of the more interesting data tables recently has been A-7: Employment status of the civilian population by nativity and sex, not seasonally adjusted. This table is a straight year-over-year comparison. In the most recent report, it was April of 2023 vs April of 2024. These are still BLS numbers and they are decreasingly reliable, but the methodology used to derive those numbers is consistent and so internal comparisons are both possible and useful. What does this table tell us?

There are several data points in the table, but some stand out.
Domestic vs Foreign Labor Participation Rate

  • April, 2023: 66.7% (foreign-born); 61.5% (native-born)
  • April, 2024: 66.0% (foreign-born); 61.7% (native-born)
Domestic vs. Foreign Unemployment Rate
  • April, 2023: 3.1% (foreign-born); 3.1% (native-born)
  • April, 2024: 3.9% (foreign-born); 3.4% (native-born)
One more stands out to me, which is the unemployment rate subdivisions by both nativity and sex. The unemployment rate for foreign men went from 2.7% to 3.7% year over year. For foreign women, it went from 3.6% to 4.3%. For domestic men, it went from 3.4% to 3.7%. For domestic women, 2.7% to 3.1%.

Domestic men have lost the least in terms of unemployment. Domestic women are still in the best shape in absolute terms but their relative move (+15% unemployment) is second-best, ahead of foreign men with foreign women rounding out the pack. Domestic women are the only group that saw an increase in the labor participation rate, with all other groups seeing lower participation than in April of last year.

(As an aside, there is one group that is very clearly advancing, even if not economically: foreign population as a whole. The domestic civilian non-institutional working-age population went from 220.115 million in April of last year to 219.976 million this year. The foreign number went from 46.328 million last year to 48.089 million this year - a staggering 3.8% increase in a single year. Want to know why the border is open? This is one of the reasons.)

But economically, who is winning in Brandon's economy? Nobody, actually. Unemployment is up across the board and participation is down in most areas. Nobody wins under Bidenomics, at least not enough to push the averages. Those in the best shape are just those who are losing the least for now.

How are remote jobs given to people in India and Canada and Brazil and Mexico factored into all these job reports?

For example, the auto industry has replaced direct hire American workers with contract hire remote workers in India, Canada, Brazil and Mexico.

There is also the case of someone like me who was fired as a direct employee, but I was able to go back to my old position as a contract worker on $25k less salary. How is that factored into the job reports?

It made me wonder how many of our semi truck drivers weren't english speakers. I couldn't find any details, but I did see that immigrants are 20% or so of our long-haul truckers. Cities will have 50% or so immigrants driving locally.

Commercial power plants, with their pulverizers and air-jet combustion, are a very efficient use of coal. You can't get that kind of mileage in a stove, for instance.

It has become common to see immigrants communicating with locals via phone translation app. Probably Obamaphones. Have had to do this myself. They hold out the phone so you can talk into it. Frustrating way to have a conversation if you have to convey anything that requires more than simple sentences.

And the unemployment numbers are just those actively seeking employment, (probably) does not count those working grey market off books (while claiming benefits?) or those that just gave up or never tried to find a job. They seem to try hard to not count all the illegal invaders.

61 Thirty years ago we were all worried about the number of East European truck drivers who couldn't speak English. There are lots of big trucks in Europe now (compared to, say, the 60's), and Romanians, Bulgarians, etc, dominated the trade for a while.

There's now a large subculture of drivers from the various 'Stans, because they've also been at it awhile. We have an Uzbek truckers' cafe out by the Turnpike. Good kebab, but the prayer room is a little unsettling. Used to be the drive-thru.

I see that we're fixated on putative 'Mexicans' though (they aren't), so go right ahead.

Will always remember the interviews in Detroit during the Obama Administration where interviewees actually thought that the money for the "free" stuff was coming from "Obama's stash" in the White House.

I have always known since I started following politics that "the government" does not pay for anything. Budgets are all made up of taxpayer dollars. Nothing is "free". Everything is paid for by someone other than "the government". The government simply spends American taxpayer dollars. But too many people in this country think that "the government" actually pays for things or can give away things as "free". (i.e. "free healthcare!")

85 @8 at the typical commercial grid usage, half a ton of coal would charge a Tesla 3 for a year. You do have to pay for the conversion, of course. You can't just shovel it in.

Commercial power plants, with their pulverizers and air-jet combustion, are a very efficient use of coal. You can't get that kind of mileage in a stove, for instance.

Just because people in this relatively small group understand the problems doesn't mean the country as a whole did. In fact, they didn't which is why we were ridiculed as election deniers by most of the country. That isn't the case any longer. And now millions more will be watching like hawks.

Some dumb bint tried to turn left from a center lane in between me and a pick-up with a trailer yesterday, then proceeded to split lanes for 200 yards after the turn.

Anyone who thinks the Deep State is not planning to steal Texas is naive. They can easily make up 631k vote difference with illegal alien votes. So hopefully the GOP is paying attention to Texas and not ignoring it like Hillary ignored historical blue states MI, PA and WI in 2016.

Trump's appeal to have Fani removed in GA just got approved to proceed. The case won't even go forward until the appeal is heard.

Stormy stepped on her boobs in NYC yesterday and in any case there is no crime. He will either win outright or win on appeal.

Yes, he's winning largely because there never were any crimes.

195 Problem is the labor numbers are most likely 'adjusted' in some secret leftist manner to look better, hence the 'correction' that inevitably is applied a few months later when no one is looking at the old figures. So making any sense of an analysis of fudged numbers is just an exercise.

Trump winning GA would be evidence. Philly reporting 20% turnout would help. Detroit counting ballots on camera instead of just making up numbers would help.

Courts viewing evidence of fraud in a courtroom setting and ordering the jailing of people who broke the law followed by redoing of elections would help.

"We passed another law," doesn't help.

Used to be a go to gift, even for the ladies. Quality that's useful.

City of Houston.

Drive anywhere, walk on any sidewalk, smell weed. I step outside my house in the burbs, and smell weed.

People have been sold this weed is harmless horseshit, in large part because decriminalizing means no more reasonable suspicion to detain based on the odor, so black people are stopped less. That's the real reason for Houston's de facto decriminalization.

Couple years ago, guy took an exit near me at 80+, jumped a curb Dukes of Hazzard style and killed a teen girl who was sitting in a parked car eating an ice cream cone.

This is the future.

As Ace might say, you're going to enjoy decriminalization, but you aren't going to enjoy it much.

When I worked Receiving in a factory late 2019 to late 2021, we were starting to see a big increase in the percentage of foreign-born drivers. We didn't have to deal with Somalis at the time, but apparently my brother does (two towns over) and is not impressed. This is interesting, because he worked with Somalis back in the 90s and didn't have a problem then. I would guess the first wave was more eager to work and assimilate than the current wave, based on what he's said.

Not that I'm accusing her of having charged Trump. Not then. Later. It was $130,000 later.

And Cohen paid it. For consideration for something that didn't happen and Cohen made bank delivering the moolah. Notice how neither side discussed the mechanics of how she got paid. Well just the big money one. Not from Vivid Entertainment. Was it cash? Was there a check? You would think Bragg would have a giant picture of a Trump check or at least a Cohen check.

Anyone who thinks the Deep State is not planning to steal Texas is naive. They can easily make up 631k vote difference with illegal alien votes. So hopefully the GOP is paying attention to Texas and not ignoring it like Hillary ignored historical blue states MI, PA and WI in 2016.

You still have cancer, and it's exactly like it was - or maybe worse than - when you got the injection, but it's not as bad as it could've been. And it's because you got the shot.

264 Originalists Insist We Live as the Constitution Intended. I Tried It for a Year!

I often wonder how this kind of thing sounds to The Mushy Middle.
Posted by: Oddbob

The middle won't hear. The article was long, boring and pointless. Let me distill for you:

...hardcore originalist Justice Clarence Thomas says the Constitution’s “equal protection” does not apply to gay marriage. The phrase appears in the 14th Amendment, which was ratified in 1868, an era when the average American would never have conceived of gay marriage...

Originalists are not completely frozen in time...the prohibition against unreasonable searches and seizures, originally meant to stop the constable banging on your door in 1787, now applies to the government snooping through the contents of your smartphone. It’s the same idea, even though the execution of the idea has necessarily changed with time.

He understands!?

Another charge against originalists is that judges apply the theory inconsistently...a right can be stretched to the breaking point. Originalists say the “right to bear arms” covers flintlock muskets as well as AR-15s, even though these two objects are vastly different.

No.

Hi Fen - if I may gently answer this - Merchan is under District 1 (not 2, Whig) and I have heard from a couple of people that the District 1 appellate Judge (a liberal lady to be sure) is unhappy with Merchan's violations of the procedural rules assigned to lower courts (supreme court level in NYS. for some reason)...and will recommend him for Judicial conduct review for it...can't have people go off the reservation - they don't care about Trump, but they care about order in the lower courts...

I was surprised to learn Carlsen painted in the late 1800s and early 1900s. This has the power of the Low Country still lifes I enjoy so much.

Did a quick look at Carlsen's other works, especially the still lifes. They are wonderful. I need to find out more about him.

Pro tip:

Don't buy from the physical location. Buy from Amazon. It's somehow cheaper to order a 10lb pot or pan or wok online and have it shipped to you than it is to walk into the store literally next door to the factory where it's made.

I don't think that's how it's supposed to work, guys. All I can figure is they're playing off of that old canard and people are looking for souvenir-type purchases.

Needless to say it irritated me when I compared prices. I hate that I didn't think to ask the clerk if they'd match the Amazon price.

Berridge was up for the role along with Diane Franklin. Forman brought both to Prague in the lead up to shooting, unable to decide which to cast.

Ultimately, he had to make a decision. He brought both women into the room and said, "One of you is too pretty!"

I guess that was Franklin.

223 Former House Speaker Paul Ryan says he's not voting for Trump : '“Character is too important for me. [The presidency is a job that requires the kind of character [Trump] doesn’t have.”

“Democracy is being tested in two very specific ways. One within, with our polarization eating each other alive. The second one is from [the outside], from authoritarian regimes who are basically saying they got the mojo, they can make the decisions faster, they can beat democracy.”

Given that Ryan thinks Character is so important, my guess he will think of it as a duty and vote for someone. Who??? He also has strong feelings for democracy --and our allies. So maybe Biden. I somehow do not think he would waste his vote on a third party or write-in.

From the article: "The former House speaker told Yahoo Finance on Tuesday that he doesn't plan to vote for the former president, adding he would be writing in a Republican candidate instead."

It's still one less vote for Trump in Wisconsin -- which I consider the most important thing since WI is predicted to be close.

Possibly her most dramatic mainstream role was as Cathy, the sociopathic, parent-murdering beauty in the 1981 TV miniseries version of Steinbeck's East of Eden. To this day when I reread those scenes I think of Jane in the role, even though Cathy is described as a blonde.

249 The odd thing is that I never saw the East of Eden miniseries, just glimpsed the TV Guide ads for it and the "Special Focus" or whatever they called it on the production. Doesn't matter. Jane Seymour IS Cathy the "monster."

In the Fifties film, which focuses too much on that James Dean guy, Jo Van Fleet plays the older, much shopworn Cathy, now called Kate, the town madam. She is very good. But the Elia Kazan movie relates only a sliver of the book.

The Morning Report — 5/8/24

brokenhymensroth.jpg

Good morning, kids. On a positive note, Judge Aileen Cannon, who is presiding over the Trump documents case has indefinitely suspended the proceedings.

U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon ruled on Tuesday that former President Donald Trump’s classified documents trial is indefinitely postponed because of legal issues and deadlines involving the use of classified evidence at trial. The former president had been scheduled to go on trial in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s federal criminal case against him in two weeks on May 20. . .

. . . “The Court also determines that finalization of a trial date at this juncture—before resolution of the myriad and interconnected pre-trial and [Classified Information Procedures Act] issues remaining and forthcoming—would be imprudent and inconsistent with the Court’s duty to fully and fairly consider the various pending pre-trial motions before the Court, critical CIPA issues, and additional pretrial and trial preparations necessary to present this case to a jury,” Cannon wrote.

The move threatens to derail the case as it increases the likelihood that it does not go to trial until after the presidential election in November. If Trump were to win, it is widely expected that his Department of Justice will dismiss the case.

As we now know, to no one's surprise, is that the FBI 3AM raid on Mar-a-Lago featured photos released to the Junta propaganda house organs showing "Classified" documents strewn all about Trump's living room – except that the photos were completely staged by the FBI, including prop folders they created with the words "TOP SECRET" rubber stamped a la "Mission: Impossible" all over them. Ham-fisted and amateurish to be sure, yet in terms of satisfying a Trump-deranged audience, it was the moral equivalent of giving a stack of slightly used Beaver Hunt to a horny 13-year-old and telling him to go have a good time.

From the beginning, the whole thing was specious since as president, Trump had the authority to declassify whatever documents he chose and to have them in his possession. The grand total, to the best of my recollection were several boxes which were in his possession at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida. In fact, many of the documents may very well have been shipped to him without his knowledge, either of their being in his possession or the nature of their contents. Total Deep State set up. Just like J-6.

This is unlike Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants who took an Ark of the Covenant sized warehouse full of them illegally with malice aforethought during his tenure as Obama's VP (likely even years before as a senator) and kept them in unlocked garages and university offices for the purpose of selling whatever they contained to the highest bidder. But Biden remains uncharged as the spin-meisters do their dervish routine to assure us it's a nothing burger and/or totally kosher. Thank you Robert Hur.

As for Aileen Cannon, the usual gang of deviants, gibbering hacks and fools are having shit-fits. The facts be damned. She's a Trump appointee and therefore this is a travesty of justice. It'd be laughable were it not for the hypocrisy of everyone from Jack Smith, to Bragg, to Willis, to Merchan to Engoron/Gorgon/Enron/Erdogon and virtually the entire criminal justice scam of a system being used to crush Donald Trump and everyone who supports him.

There is still another Jack Smith show trial regarding J-6 along with Fani Willis' peep show of "2020 election interference," the Alvin Bragg 34 counts of the same non-crime of not inflating the value of his properties all masquerading as equal justice under the law. Let me pause and apologize in advance for perhaps confusing some of the players and what each charge may or may not be that they are involved with. It's such a massive blizzard of utter kangaroo court, banana republic bullshit that it's all too easy to lose track of who's doing what to Trump and all of us with what at what time and in what court.

The Hyman Roth, or in this case the broken hymen of wroth cherry on top of it all is the truly pornographic display of this Stormy Daniels travesty (the E. Jean Carrol rape fantasist fake "libel" suit notwithstanding). Legal eagle Jonathan Turley describes it perfectly:

The value of the testimony was entirely sensational and gratuitous, yet Merchan was fine with humiliating Trump. Daniels’ testimony was a dumpster fire in the courtroom.

The most maddening moment for the defense came at the lunch break when Merchan stated, “I agree that it would have been better if some of these things had been left unsaid.” He then denied a motion for a mistrial basis on the testimony and blamed the defense for not objecting more.

That, of course, ignores the standing objection of the defense to Daniels even appearing, and specific objections to the broad scope allowed by the court. This is precisely what the defense said would happen when the prosecutors only agreed to avoid “genitalia.”

. . . There was no reason for Daniels to appear at all in the trial. Even if he was adamant in allowing her, Merchan could have imposed a much more limited scope for her testimony. He could also have enforced the limits that he did place on the testimony when it was being ignored by both the prosecutors and the witness.

Merchan said that he is considering a limiting instruction for the jury to ignore aspects of the testimony. But that is little comfort for the defendant. The court was told that this would happen, it happened, and now the court wants to ask the jury to pretend that it did not happen. Merchan knows that there is no way for the jury to unhear the testimony. More importantly, the prosecution knew that from the outset. . .

. . . It is not the witness, but the case that seems increasingly obscene. You have a judge who should have recused himself given his daughter’s major role as a Democratic activist and fundraiser. You have a gag order that is allowing a New York Supreme Court justice to regulate what the leading candidate for the presidency may say in an election on the weaponization of the legal system. You have a lead prosecutor, Matthew Colangelo, who not only left the Biden Justice Department to revive this case, but once worked for the Democratic National Committee. 

You have a case based on two dead misdemeanors shocked back into life by a still mysterious theory of an undefined crime. In comparison, Daniels may be the only authentic part of the entire case in New York v. Trump.

Even more of a joke than the media whore propagandists hyperventilating over Aileen Cannon is the fact that they are fearful Sloppy Daniels' testimony might actually cause Bragg to lose the case. As if!

A rigged judge, prosecutor and a jury pool in a city and state that went something like well over 80% for Biden in 2020 (election shenanigans notwithstanding). Even with all that going for them, there is no way that that jury isn't fixed and the verdict already in. And should there somehow be at least one juror who might actually go rogue, they'll be doxxed and find their homes and their family members on fire by the time they are released.

Of course, with the nation, the economy, the border, out of control crime, exploding Jew-hate on and off campus and the world going up in flames already, every time the name Trump is even mentioned in the media now serves as a sort of in-kind donation to his campaign. And if Merchan actually locks him up? Wow.

It is a sad state of affairs that we are forced to see things as they are, and not as we wish them to be. But it is what it is. With everything so abjectly corrupt, and the will to power that has strangled even the tiniest sliver of an iota of morality and ethics that might have still existed of those in power to stifle their own political desires in favor of fairness, decency and the preservation of even the slimmest veneer of the civil society that yet exists, what chance do "the better angels of our nature" have in pulling us back from the brink?

Has the Supreme Court noticed that we’ve crossed a legal Rubicon?  The Constitution — that thing the Court is supposed to defend — is becoming less relevant by the day because the left has decided that our mutual pact of self-governance doesn’t apply to leftists.  They have weaponized our government against us — using it to surveil, silence, harass, and steal from us.  Our own government is even arguing that the Constitution should not be a constraint on its operations — which is precisely what its purpose is.

Are the Supreme Court Justices beginning to realize that we are in crisis?  Two recent cases indicate that they are awakening to that reality.

In Fischer v. United States, the court is considering the validity of using a financial statute to charge January 6 trespassers with obstruction of an official proceeding.  During questioning, Justice Gorsuch asked, “Would pulling a fire alarm before a vote qualify for 20 years in federal prison?”  He was referring to Democrat Jamaal Bowman, who pulled a fire alarm to prevent a congressional vote yet was not charged with “obstructing an official proceeding.”  That was Gorsuch’s way of asking if something other than party affiliation determines who will face the greater jeopardy of obstruction charges.  It was a sarcastic illustration of the decidedly unequal system of justice the DoJ is currently practicing.

In Trump v. United States, the Court is considering whether Donald Trump has immunity for actions taken while he was president.  The DoJ argued that the motive for presidential actions should determine whether immunity applies and that the discretion and good motivations of DoJ attorneys should be trusted to make that determination (try not to laugh).  Justice Alito questioned the wisdom of that argument, asking if the DoJ should be trusted, “given its history of abusive partisan prosecution.”  That is about as close as a Supreme Court justice will ever come to telling a government solicitor general that the latter has squandered his last ounce of credibility.
It appears that the Supreme Court justices are becoming aware that our justice system is now a tangle of broken constitutional promises and inconsistent legal decisions.  But do they realize that they helped create this mess?

. . . The Supreme Court needs to make radical course corrections now, because it failed to make minor adjustments when it would have mattered.

The Court’s desire to exercise restraint is an admirable judicial philosophy — in a well functioning republic.  When a car is running well, minor maintenance is the only appropriate action.  But when the car is on fire, it doesn’t need an oil change.  It needs emergency action.

Do the Supremes realize that the leftists have set our republic on fire?  The Court needs to stop looking for excuses for restraint and start looking for opportunities to stop the advance of tyranny.  This is the time for bold action — or after November there may be nothing left to defend but ashes.  They need to consider that as they deliberate on the cases before them.

It's a very well-written and thoughtful essay. Except I would ask the author, even if please God SCOTUS makes the right decisions in these cases, what will it matter in the end? They already slapped down Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants student loan multi billion dollar bribe as unconstitutional and what did he do? Ignore it and issue another one!

To paraphrase Democrat hero Joseph Stalin, "How many divisions does the Supreme Court have?"

29 Judge Cannon postponing the classified documents trial against Trump screams this to me: "The proceedings have served their purpose and have seeded the necessary suspicions into the mind of the electorate prior to the election. Nothing further can be gained, and if permitted to proceed, the trial could well shine a bright light on our own malfeasance."

Postponing it "indefinitely" leaves it hanging over his head, an easy mechanism to score cheap political points against him by his opposition.

31 Quite frankly, I’m getting sick of all the “independent” and “conservative” legal analysts (Jonathan Turley, Greg Jarrett, Andrew McCarthy) giving me all the legal minutiae as to why the Bragg case is “falling apart” etc etc….. they miss the point entirely. Haven’t they noticed that Trump is post-law / below the law?? Bragg, Merchan, Jack Smith, Fani and many others are playing “destroy Trump” with no regard for the law. It’s almost insulting to hear the legal analysis because it presumes that the law and constitution actually have some influence on this whole charade. These are Stalin-like show trials and nothing else. Truth matters not a wit…. Trump being found guilty hangs by a thread of 12 jurors (not his peers) drawn from a pool that generally hates Trump. It’ll be a miracle if the jury hangs… a bigger miracle if they acquit

I've often spoke of this. It's living in denial about the reality of the situation, still clinging to the hope that our nation will operate as it always seemingly had, or that it still exists in a way that we had imagined or deluded ourselves that it had.

To finally realize that it's gone is a shattering experience.

45 The Many Trials of Donald Trump is actually one of the few stories that I kind of like right now. Not because it's happening, that sucks. And we don't know how it will end, but I expect he'll be convicted in at least one, if not all of them, which also sucks.

I like it because of the public reaction. Until about eight years ago, this gambit would have worked on anyone that ran it against, no question. Nobody can keep track of all these legal machinations. Millions of people would just say "well, with this much smoke, there's got to be a fire in there somewhere," and presto - the target would be convicted in the court of public opinion.

But now, in 2024 America, Trump gets *more* popular with every new charge and every breathless news article about them. To me, this indicates that probably an outright majority of Americans have figured out that law enforcement, the courts, and the media are all criminals framing the regime's political opponents. There has been a critical loss of confidence in the institutions, and that's priceless.

47 Wonder if NARA shipped boxes to Trump with classified docs in it then the FBI raid and investigation they moved the classified documents to some boxes Trump already had at Mar a Lago, there is the report the scanned document set does not line up with the physical document storage.

48 29 Judge Cannon postponing the classified documents trial against Trump screams this to me: "The proceedings have served their purpose and have seeded the necessary suspicions into the mind of the electorate prior to the election. Nothing further can be gained, and if permitted to proceed, the trial could well shine a bright light on our own malfeasance."

Postponing it "indefinitely" leaves it hanging over his head, an easy mechanism to score cheap political points against him by his opposition.

Oh, but she's gonna have some interesting hearings that will kill the Dems (from NYT) "Judge Cannon also scheduled a separate but potentially explosive hearing in late May to consider arguments about whether Mr. Smith had launched what is known as a “selective and vindictive prosecution” against Mr. Trump’s co-defendant, Walt Nauta.The hearing is likely to include Mr. Trump’s own claims of selective prosecution because Mr. Nauta, one of his personal aides, included them in his own filing."

49 At some point Trump should just refuse to participate in this sham trial. Just send his defense team in with a polite letter explaining how he's been fucked over, name names, and state that he's not gonna play the game any longer. Let NY issue a warrant for arrest and try to extradite him.

1/2 This is how civilization ends.

"Due to the dwindling supply of quality machine shops and very poor quality aftermarket parts as well as a lack of people interested in learning the engine building and machine shop trades, I regret to inform our many followers and current as well as past customers that we will no longer be taking on any new engine build orders unless it is for a car we are restoring. Since Covid, we have had to do rework on multiple engine builds due to poorly manufactured parts that failed during break in or machine work that was below our standards due to all the old farts like me dying off with no younger workers interested in taking their place. For example, rod bearings are now made too thin resulting in 390 and 401 crank grinds needing to be ground .0085, .0185 or .0285 under standard rod journal size yet all but one machine shop in the entire Phoenix area refused to do anything other than the standard .010, .020 or .030 grinds. Even worse...

In practical terms, it's possible. It depends on how you define "lose." If "lose" means "Trump's side wins," then you are absolutely correct. If "lose" instead means, "they fail to convict for any reason, including a hung jury" then you are only very probably correct.

Based on their behavior in 2020, I have to conclude "no."

Unless one counts all of the powers that SCOTUS has been arrogating to itself for 250+ years, the Court has one job: adjudicating between states. They refused. When the chips were down, SCOTUS for whatever reason - fear, desire, who knows or cares - refused to do its duty. It refused more than once.

The entire country was literally at stake and the Court opted out.

123 Not just their methods, apparently some cities have actual CCP "police stations" run by the CCP itself.

Yup. Can't have "students" (spies) defecting or going native now, can they?

To keep an eye on and mobilize visa students when/as required.

There was one here in Houston that was keeping eyes on the people stealing secrets from MD Anderson, UTMB, and UH Oil research.

I have a suspicion they're keeping tabs on their bought politicos and national infrastructure. Also undermining legit American interests right here at home.

Oh, there absolutely was a reason: to completely undo the NDA Trump negotiated with Daniels.

Take the case of the mid-level toadie named Kevin Clinesmith. He was mid-sized wheel in that operation. Not a true flunky, but not a power player. The Party decided that he would be the scapegoat.

He got fired, had his license suspended and was given probation. Nothing more. He wasn't even disbarred. And the suspension was lifted almost immediately. I don't know where he is now, but surely he's in some sinecure. And he's protected in other ways.

Go to Wikipedia and search for "Clinesmith." Not the full name, just the surname. See what you see on the page about Kevin Clinesmith. An unlinked reference. The link is red, which in Wikipedia means, "no article exists for this topic." He's been scrubbed. This is how the Party takes care of its own.

And he wasn't even a power player.

Key term: "sustainable calm"

Concluding grafs

"...But the most fundamental dispute is whether an agreement would ultimately end the war.

"Negotiators have tried to finesse that with a time-honored diplomatic tactic of employing language that is vague enough to be interpreted by each side as it chooses. Under the agreement, the two sides would use the temporary cease-fire to work out the return of “sustainable calm.” Hamas wants “sustainable calm” to mean a permanent cessation of hostilities, while Israel does not want to make that explicit a commitment.

"U.S. officials are content to leave the definition of “sustainable calm” a little fuzzy, but are banking on the idea that once the guns stop firing for six and then potentially 12 weeks, the momentum for a more lasting peace will be inexorable. That is why they are devoting so much energy to the coming days."

The court might just do something similar in that in the immunity case at Scotus, an amicus brief by former AGs Meese and Mukasey claimed that Smith's appointment by Garland was illegal and therefore anything Smith does as a prosecutor is illegal.

The statute establishing special counsels always had been interpreted by AGs are requiring someone who was appointed by the prezzie and confirmed by the senate. Thus, the procedure was until Jack Smith that the AG appointed someone who was already a federal district attorney to handle additional duties as special prosecutor.

Has to do with major officer of the US doctrine versus minor officers not subject to the appointment and advise/consent clauses of the Constitution.

With whom are the "negotiators" negotiating? Israel has asserted - unless they walked it back - that they had nothing to do with the claimed "cease-fire agreement." Israel was negotiating (insofar as it has anything to negotiate, which it doesn't because Israel's terms are essentially "unconditional surrender") via Egypt.

So who are these "negotiators" representing besides Hamas? There seems to be no relevant counterparty with whom they are negotiating.

Oh, of course. It's us. They're "negotiating" with us.

202 A funny thing about the 3am FBI Raid photos of documents, those photos themselves were borderline security violations.

I'm only speaking from the workplace training I endure, and I'm not a professional specifically on markings procedures, but what my annual training tells me is that, if I were wandering around the airport, say, with a stack of papers and a TOP SECRET (or even a CONFIDENTIAL, the lowest marking), visible to everyone, I would be in violation of the law.

The cover sheets are to let cleared people know what they're handling so they can handle it / store it properly. If I were out in public, I'd need to have anything I was carrying in AT LEAST an unmarked outer container (folder, bag, whatever) that would not draw attention.

Those pics, while not divulging classified info, made the hair on my arms stand up, because even that pic was PROBABLY supposed to be handled as if it was at thensame level as the cover sheets. And it obviously wasn't.

Why? Because part of security is prevention of forgery, and now everyone foreign and domestic knows how to forge a classified cover sheet.

But hey, the FBI had to save democracy...

This was back in 2008 when he worked for the Bush administration. That's how long they have all know that trying to bring Ukraine into the western alliance and away from Russia would cause war.

258 Trump classified documents trial postponed indefinitely.

Smith may have fucked up with an admission of evidence misshandling in a filing last Friday. He's apparently done it before when he was at the Hague.

"Jack Smith’s team acknowledged mischaracterizing the issue at a recent hearing in the Trump classified documents case, but said the reordering was not significant." It's probably up to the court to decide if significant or not. You know which way Cannon decided.

Why would such a minor concession be relevant to the The People's 6th Amendment right to a speedy trial, especially when they deserve a trial under the Espionage Act. It smells like a typical Cannon bias toward looking for further pretext for further trial delay.

Whatever. He is going to lose and eventually spend his remaining miserable years in jail.

Maybe, but if he wins in November this case, and the federal election interference case, will probably go away. If Trump becomes president again, he simply picks up the phone and tells his AG to fire Jack Smith and move to dismiss the indictments in the federal cases.

266 >>Something tells me Trump's defense team is NOT going to be allowed to ask questions that will cause "emotional distress" to Stormy Daniels (i.e., turn her own words against her). They will be far more restricted on what they are allowed to ask than the prosecution team
was.

Cross has already started. Stormy testified late that she hated Trump and defense put forward questioning about how she lost her lawsuits against him and had to pay damages (which have not been paid).

The case is such a shitstorm of constitutional violations, which can firmly be laid at the foot of the supposed poseur of a judge, that it is evident that NY is simply a joke of a jurisdiction and no one with life, liberty, or property can feel confident that these will not be denied by NY courts if politically expedient. NY appears also to ignore constitutional amendments like the 2nd that they do not like and that includes federal judges in NY and the 2nd Circuit.

296 Wait...who do they think has the right to a speedy trial?
Posted by: TheJamesMadison

Most of them flunked US Govt 1101. Rights are always individual; powers are what government has. The right to a speedy trial is of course only pertaining to the defendant, not government. The risk, of course, is that the defendant may be held longer in custody even if they are innocent of the charges. Delays by the defendant due to pending motions stop the speedy trial clock in the statute (60 days from memory).

FedGov has also trampled on that statute in DC with the Jan 6 cases and as a result has held far too many people longer than they would have served if guilty.

DC is another legal shithole that requires segregation era response by Scotus to simply nullify the lower courts and neuter them. GVR and summary reversal are tools that can rapidly negate injustices at the lower courts. Another tool is actually contempt of court for violating a Supreme Court order. Happened in a lynching case in Chattanooga after a sheriff let a crowd in to take a suspect and lynch them despite a Supreme Court order. Case was heard by Scotus itself via a special master.

Posted by: rhennigantx at May 08, 2024 09:00 AM

No one is trying to "ban transgender athletes from college athletic participation".

(1) "Transgender" athletes do not exist. There are two sexes/genders, male and female.
(2) Any lawsuits are simply pushing to require males to participate in male college athletics and females to participate in female college athletics.

So males who pretend to be "female" can participate in male college athletics and females pretending to be "male" can participate in female college athletics. Very simple. At least it used to be prior to "woke" takeover of culture.

There are less than 100, probably less than 50, hard core black block clowns responsible for the physical terror operations in Portland, and the cops know who most of them are.
Note that the clowns have restricted their anti-cop actions to objects, because they know that doing serious damage to a cop would produce action against that group, either legally, despite their political protection by the very leftist Portland political establishment, or illegally via South American death squads.

363 "BIDEN’S AMERICA: Major Corporates Using Migrant Child Labor, Paying Small Fines"

FYI - Iowa and Virginia (VOSH) are two of MANY states operating their own occupational safety and health programs. (See Maryland, too: MOSH) Their jurisdiction applies to all private sector workplaces in the state and state and local governments. They are not involved in the OSH of employers, agencies, contractors, sites under the jurisdiction of the federal government. Federal OSHA does, however, provide guidance to State Plan states concerning certain standards, programs.

But, yes, it's B's America. His ilk chase the huge employers that might be hammered into unionization (Amazon, Starbucks...) with bad press and the middle sized employers with citations and penalties until they beg for mercy.

This summer, there'll be swarms of total BS Heat Stress investigations. Something is always needed to entice union support of an administration.

364 Do you think it suspicious when the DEA stacks the cocaine bricks on the dining room table? That's what they do. They photograph the evidence at the scene where they find it and also all together.

It would also make sense for the FBI to put classified documents in "top secret" folders so people know not to look at them. Just like they would put dangerous substances in boxes marked with warnings.

You aren't arguing that the FBI brought classified documents to Mar a Lago. And the presence of a top secret stamp on a folder doesn't render the contents of the folder classified. Trump's documents are either classified or they are not.

And it's not like Trump didn't admit, on tape, that the document he was showing to his friends was still classified. He did. You know it. You've heard the same tape I have.

---
Add my reasons: UK Guardian, ‘I will not be silenced’: Rashida Tlaib won’t stop fighting for Palestinian rights, 12 Nov. 2023

In part, "Tuesday’s vote, which came days after she avoided an earlier censure motion, was triggered by the presence of a highly charged slogan, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”, in a video Tlaib posted on social media last week that also accused Joe Biden of supporting “genocide” and called for an immediate ceasefire amid Israel’s military offensive in Gaza.
...

“Rashida is a person on a mission. She is fiercely protective of the people she loves. She will stop at nothing. For her, to support or not to support a cause isn’t a theoretical political question. It’s a question of whether or not her family members deserve to stay alive. It’s the life or death of people she’s directly connected to.”

Top Story



Tech News

  • Speaking of laptops, the old new laptop - the one I bought two years ago that has been waiting all this time to be set up - has a working Windows license again.

    And it runs my modded Minecraft instance at 60fps with shaders enabled.

    It could probably do more but it's only a 60fps screen.


  • Asus leaked the part number and specs of AMD's upcoming Strix Point laptop chips. (AnandTech)

    Twelve cores - four Zen 5 and eight Zen 5c, which are identical but run at clock speeds about 25% lower, 36MB cache, a top speed of 5.1GHz on the main cores, and 77 TOPS (trillion operations per second) of AI thingy.

    That's double the AI thingy of Apple's M4, which has a 38 TOPS thingy.


  • China's latest GPU beats the best chips from AMD. (Tom's Hardware)

    That is, the best chips from AMD from 2008.

    It's roughly equivalent to a Radeon 4850. I had one of those. Passive cooler. Played Mass Effect and Dragon Age on it.

    It definitely slowed down in big combat scenes but it was mostly okay.


  • Micron's new LPCAMM2 memory modules are now available for purchase. (WCCFTech)

    In one speed, LPDDR5X-7500.

    $175 for 32GB and $330 for 64GB. Not cheap but 80% cheaper than Apple and even more cheaper than replacing your whole computer because the RAM is soldered in place not that I'm bitter about that right now.


  • An OpenAI executive says that ChatGPT will be "laughably bad" in twelve months. (Business Insider)

    Hey, give yourself some credit. It's laughably bad right now.

“The West is in danger. It is in danger because its leaders long ago moved away from the ideas of freedom. Ideas that made the West the most important civilizational achievement in the history of mankind. And instead of defending the ideas that generated the prosperity that everyone here enjoys, they listen to siren songs that lead inexorably to socialism, and consequently to poverty.

I have actually used the First Aid Merit badge stuff. Old Mama gets bandaged like they taught me, and apparently it's good work.

No, no credits given, although both the US and Hungarian organizations were both part of the International Organization in some way.

Less education
Hypertension
Hearing impairment
Smoking
Obesity
Depression
Physical inactivity
Diabetes
Low social contact
Excessive alcohol consumption
Traumatic brain injury
Air pollution

75 At least old school cosplay (as opposed to the more... booth girl type) was always a function of enthusiasm in a property. You love something and think it is cool. If you're disposed that way, you go to the opening of phantom menace dressed as Darth Vader.

Disney has done a great job of bearing that genuine enthusiasm out of the properties they own.

At some point I wonder if the persecution intends to tell PDJT how he was supposed to account for his reimbursement to his lawyers, if not as "legal expense". Since the state of NY has turned this issue into a criminal case, the entire world would like to know what category to put legal expenses into, if not "legal expense".

=============
As near as I can tell, there is no tax-related accusation. No one says his taxes would change once they sort out this case. The accusation is his lawyers got Stormy to sign an NDA, for which she was paid (as is required) and then the Trump Organization was billed by the law firm for reimbursement. Trump Organization accounted for the subsequent payment as "legal expense". NYS says they should have called it something else, but hasn't said what or even why it matters.

Cities that hardly reported any crime stats to the FBI include NYC, Baltimore, Washington DC, Miami and a ton of entire huge cities. Of course, this was done by the Democrats to hide their soaring crime numbers and easily fool low IQ sheep into believing easily provable hogwash."

I threw away the cassette tapes that I recorded myself, but I kept the purchased cassette tapes because I have a Sony Cassette player as part of my stereo component system. If I'm honest, the turntable is the only part of the stereo system that I usually use, and that's because I have a pretty good record collection. And the turntable is a smooth, lovely item that my brother found for me second hand.

    I have listened to radios that didn't have transistors but tubes (called valves), cost of yearly car license depended on tire size or on engine capacity.

    Most engines are always a little short of the purported capacity. Thus a 2000cc engine is probably 1996cc. If it was 2001cc then the next tariff up applied.

    AARP/ Fabrizio Anzalone has Trump +4 in the H2H, & +5 in the 5-way.

    Muhlenberg College has Trump +3 in the H2H.

    These are both registered voters (RVs) polls, too, which is excellent, because Trump polls better when "all adults" are polled, and RVs vote in much greater proportion than "all adults" do.

    Many of Trump's AA & Hispanic supporters are very iffy about actually voting.

    The conventional wisdom is that Trump has a BETTER chance in MI than PA, so again... very encouraging. Possible indication that the show trial isn't producing the predicted effect of hurting Trump, too.

    And those that were good shall be happy: they shall sit in a golden chair;
    They shall splash at a ten-league canvas with brushes of comet's hair.
    They shall find real saints to draw from - Magdalene, Peter, and Paul;
    They shall work for an age at a sitting and never be tired at all!

    And only the Master shall praise us, and only the Master shall blame;
    And no one will work for the money, and no one will work for the fame,
    But each for the joy of the working, and each, in his separate star,
    Shall draw the Thing as he sees It for the God of Things as They are!

    Posted by: Stateless at May 07, 2024 11:18 PM (jvJvP)

    Might be true for Ontario, and maybe Manitoba, but out West we got Seattle channels in British Columbia, and Spokane in Alberta.

    UHF was channels 14 through 83, and the tuner didn't "click" between channels, it rotated smoothly like a radio tuner. I don't recall there being any UHF stations in B.C. or Alberta. By the time there was a "need" for extra channels, cable was so entrenched that they simply began offering a large number of "cable-only" channels. Cablw TV grew big in Canada before it did down South, because Canada typically had only two networks, and viewers were clamoring for the USA channels. I remember getting cable from a neighborhood provider in 1963. A guy a couple of blocks up the hill from us had a very tall tower with antennas that could reliably get the Bellingham and Seattle stations, and he had amplifiers, and sold the signal around the neighborhood, quite cheaply.

    Well, the car got built, but few, if any, got delivered to retail buyers. German workers were encouraged to put money aside in special savings accounts in the Postal Savings Banks to buy VW's, and none of them ever saw a car or a dime of that money. And the factory was shifted over to production of Kubelwagens for the war effort. Anna Puma is Horde authority on the saga of VW, by the way.

    And I think the soviets also scammed their workers in the same way, stealing savings for cars that never were delivered.

    Posted by: Matthew Kant Cipher

    Thanks for the translation, Matthew! I was having trouble with the lyrics - like why isn't he saying das Geld and why not das Schloss when that's clearly the sense and meaning he's trying to convey. But seeing that it was Bairisch makes it clear. (Or at least as clear as Bairisch can be - it gives you a headache if Hochdeutsch is your preferred Sprachen.)

    Fun little addendum - some of the proverbial references in the song remind me of an over-the-top German curse. The closest English rendering is "May he die from a lightning strike while he takes a shit." Werner Herzog actually used that one at a commencement address and the crowd loved it. Deutschland is a unique place.

    Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at May 08, 2024 12:08 AM (8zz6B)

    Essentially the Soviets did that thing through until glasnost.
    It wasn't so much putting investments aside in the bank for consumer goods, it was more along the lines of having nothing available to buy, so the money went into the state bank funds.
    the USSR had massive inflation hidden by shortages. Once there was access to foreign goods was allowed the money came out of the bank, into the market and the inflation took off like a rocket. That more than anything destroyed the USSR.

    Not a big break, but a few people freaked out and flounced over it. Mostly, people here said "Get it, don't get it, it's your choice, none of my business what you do."

    I think the general consensus here is that the jab was mostly useless and possibly harmful, and the various governments should never have mandated it.

    I talked about that decision here. I just wanted paperwork to protect me from an out of control US bureaucracy. You know this is a place where people would openly tell me to fuck off.

    Everyone saw what was coming. I'm still solidly with all of you. Always will be. I just needed paperwork to protect me.

    What we all learned from the Covid debacle was that the "experts" are bought and paid for, and cannot be trusted. There were extravagant claims on both sides of the debate, and I think at least part of that is that the vaxxes which were pushed were inconsistent in quality and potency, to say the least. I am pretty certain the politicos and celebrities who took the vaxx got saline solution, since none of them ever seemed to develop the side effects reported by the plebes, but many of them did get Covid, and got over it.

    Tinyurl is trying to turn itself into a paid subscription service, and it is not going well. What they should do is ask users to view an ad, not an ad video, just a "flat" page, and "rate" the ad by checking a box, before being directed to the shortener page. Like this:

    [ ] The ad was inoffensive, and actually offered something I might use.

    [ ] I endured viewing the ad, but I'm simply not in the market for that class of product/service.

    [ ] The ad sucked syphilitic donkey dick, and the vendors should be hung, drawn, and quartered.

    Such ratings might actually be useful to the advertisers, and if giving them is fun for the user, then the ads get read, and nobody suffers.

    I retired last summer and it took me a while to get used to it.
    One of the biggest changes was that while I was working, I always tried to not worry about work stuff on weekends, however, Sunday night I would mentally prepare for going back on Monday morning. Thinking about meetings I had scheduled, left over problems from the previous week I needed to deal with, project status, read email to see what had blown up over the weekend, that kind of thing.
    After retiring, I still found myself on Sunday nights starting to think about preping for work the next morning. Took a couple of months to break that habit.

    Well, I really meant "prominent" politicians; the ones who are in the news on a near-daily basis. Thing is, if you are running that scam, you don't tell the minor pols that they are getting the placebo; you let them believe they got the real thing, and they will be convinced it works, and help peddle the narrative. You don't want the minor pols dying of blood clots at age 51. That sort of thing tends to make the news.

    From Monty Python, of course:

    Well now, the result of last week's competition when we asked you to find a derogatory term for the Belgians. Well, the response was enormous and we took quite a long time sorting out the winners. There were some very clever entries. Mrs. Hatred of Leicester Said 'let's not call them anything, let's just ignore them' ... (applause starts vigorously, but he holds his hands up for silence) ... and a Mr. St John of Hurtfingdou said he couldn't think of anything more derogatory than Belgians. (cheers and applause; a girl in showgirl costume comes on and holds up placards through next bit) But in the end we settled on three choices: number three ... the Sprouts (placard 'The Sprouts'), sent in by Mrs. Vicious of Hastings... very nice ; number two..... the Phlegms (placard) ... from Mrs. Childmolester of Worthing; but the winner was undoubtedly from Mrs. No-Supper-For-You from Norwood in Lancashire ... Miserable Fat Belgian Bastards. (placard; roar of applause) Very good - thank you, Carol.

    The polio vax doesn't prevent you from getting polio, it just lessens the severity. So only one leg is paralyzed, just from the knee down, so you walk funny for a while instead of being crippled for life.

    No. That's not how real vaccines work. Real vaccines are 95%+ effective at preventing the targeted disease, and have a vanishing small rate of harmful side effects.

    The China virus vaxes were ineffective, and to the extent they had any preventative effect, the effect was short-lived, hence the need for frequent boosters, and worst of all, had serious side effects that are only now being revealed.

    The vax companies saw an opportunity to make several butt-loads of money and the politicians saw an opportunity to impose more control over the populace. Greed and incompetence at work.

    Posted by: Miley, okravangelist

    A fun one that was, and it taught two important lessons: never trust Louis Jourdan, and examine corkscrews carefully before using them.

    It's weird how Peter Falk always claimed Columbo wasn't smart, that he was only someone with an eye for detail and dogged perseverance. The writing of the episodes never seemed to indicate that, though. Columbo was incredibly observant and unstoppable, but he also had a keen understanding of human psychology and could size people up instantly. His ruse of playing a clueless oaf was something he adapted to fit a particular person and their unique quirks. To me, he was someone who didn't suffer from the Dunning-Kruger effect, and that always gave him an advantage over the perps, who always did have that problem.

    buttload (plural buttloads)

    But the original term above was hyphenated, as "butt-loads," so it may be of a different derivation. I'm pretty sure the butt-load only contains one seam.

    506 Miley, my favorite part of that Murder Under Glass episode was the meal that Columbo cooked at the end. I watched that with hubs so many times. One of my sons a while ago thought that I was exaggerating my knowledge of Columbo episodes, he gave me a pop quiz that he checked on his phone and was impressed with my familiarity with the subject. He retracted his original statement.

    The very last episode of Columbo is "Columbo loves the night life", 2003, I think. It's a bit different in that the murder is depicted as a real one would be, messy and not going exactly as the murderer intended. The victim fought back and died hard.

    Anyway, Peter Falk wanted to make one more episode of Columbo, but dementia got him. They said there at the last he didn't even remember who Columbo was.

    The next to last episode of Columbo, "Murder with Too Many Notes", 2001, and directed by Patrick McGoohan, explained the origin of the "This Old Man" theme.

    Turned out that was what Mrs. Columbo hummed when she was doing the housework. At the end of the episode, Columbo asks one of the main characters, a musician, to teach him to play that on the piano. He wants to play it for Mrs. Columbo's upcoming birthday, or some other occasion.

    But Los Alamos would have had NOTHING to work WITH, save for that Corps of Engineers projects.

    581 I retired last summer and it took me a while to get used to it.
    One of the biggest changes was that while I was working, I always tried to not worry about work stuff on weekends, however, Sunday night I would mentally prepare for going back on Monday morning. Thinking about meetings I had scheduled, left over problems from the previous week I needed to deal with, project status, read email to see what had blown up over the weekend, that kind of thing.
    After retiring, I still found myself on Sunday nights starting to think about preping for work the next morning. Took a couple of months to break that habit.

So better to use the vision part while I still have it. (Not much of a discount, though.)

    (Disclaimer: I don't know what coverage is available to you, or which company you may choose)

    When I had "vision coverage" at work-- the coverage was barely adequate. IIRC, was 200 frames and 75 lenses, the rest was out-of-pocket for me.

    You guessed it! I need multi-focal. $$$$$

    *All* the frames were around 200, except thick black 'birth-control' styles.

    Coatings? (anti-glare, anti-reflective, photo-gray) "not covered"

    626 My choice was a pair of gold-rimmed aviator-style glasses, much like the shades I keep in the car. Aside from shades I have never worn glasses; my reading and distance vision are both still excellent. It'll take some getting used to. Maybe the new lenses will make print a bit sharper.

    I buy reading glasses at the five and dime. $3-4, cheap chinky crap, but they get the job done. I can't go anywhere without reading glasses (1.75 for the moment).

    Oddly, my distance vision has improved and I don't wear glasses while driving anymore. Funny because I started wearing them in 8th grade.

    Posted by: JQ

    When my father-in-law left the Air Force, he settled down in Las Vegas for a bit. He was able to parlay the avionics expertise he learned in the USAF into general electronic support for the casinos. (And after talking with him, you'd quickly learn how the odds favor the House in any casino way, way, way more than it's normally thought to be the case.) On one job, his boss wrangled a way for the two of them to meet some of the celebs, and he met Sammy Davis Jr. What impressed him was that Sammy was a huge gun collector - my father-in-law said that he had a virtual armory in his dressing room.

    For a long time, went without because $$$ I couldn't afford... heh, lucky I never wrecked my car... but finally got priorities straightened out.

    Anyway, many 'vision plans' are just crap. Add up the premiums, and there's your exam & half the cost of frames. (they only pay for frames every 2 or 3 years, so triple that sunk cost of premiums)

    Out of pocket all the way, and you can use the coupons that some eyewear outfits issue-- "not good with any insurance" and come out $$$ ahead.

    Spoke with Her Majesty about an hour ago. She's out of surgery and recovery and has been moved to a room. They had to open up the incision on her knee, drain it, débride it and close it back up again. She'll be staying overnight so that antibiotic IV's can be administered. Let's hope this gets her on the road to a full recovery.

    50 geese do not actually have teeth. It does look like they have a rows of sharp little teeth, but these are actually tooth-like structures called “tomium.”

    . . .geese certainly do have tooth-like shapes on the edges of their beaks. They also have scary, sharp, teeth-like structures on their tongues! All geese species appear to have them, but some species have more prominent tomium than others.
    In the case of Canada Geese, at close range, we can see fine, sharp tomium that are easily visible.

    113 There are a lot of calls to fire the profs at UNC, or suspend their pay. I say you start docking them a week's pay for every day they delay, then after 3 days up it to a month's pay, then after another 3 days, a year's pay. In order to stop the clock, you have to publicly say you're doing it. Make them admit they're full of crap and will sell out their principles.

    Even better would be to say "in 2 days, 4 out of 5 of you will be gone. The first 20% of you who submit grades will have jobs in 2 days. Make them compete for who rats out first.

    Literally no one sane believes this.

    The real story:
    • There’s a historic low in prosecutors doing their job putting criminals in prison.

    • There’s a crisis where police are less likely to arrest some criminals because crimes aren’t prosecuted so why risk your life?

    • Woke DA’s are often downgrading serious charges to misdemeanors.

    Sane people in nearly every big city will tell you that their city has a historic crime crisis. Most cops will also tell you how bad it is too. The Democrats can distort stats through inaction, bad policy, downgrading charges and non-prosecution but they can’t distort our minds and memories to unless we let them.

    2 additional rocket launches were also identified from the area of Rafah toward Israeli territory.

    These launches are further evidence of Hamas’ systematic exploitation of the area of Rafah for terrorist purposes. We will continue to operate and eliminate every threat against Israeli civilians.

    Approx. 18 projectiles were fired from the Rafah area toward the areas of the Kerem Shalom Crossing and Re’im (southern Israel), following the sirens that sounded earlier today. This is the second time in the past few days that projectiles were fired toward the Kerem Shalom Crossing.

    These projectiles prevent the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza.

    The IDF will continue to operate to enable the necessary security conditions to reopen the Kerem Shalom Crossing to provide humanitarian aid to Gazan civilians.

    249 Aside the "invasion" of our Southern border, this new wrinkle with the College Campuses blowing up seems to be from a purely military standpoint...as in probing the opponents weakness through a series of simple attacks and gauging response. Thereby building a more competent offence in future attacks.

    Democrats haven't exactly hidden the political motive behind these prosecutions of Trump.

    They speak openly about the importance of convicting and imprisoning Trump before the election, citing polling data that that's the only thing that can put Biden in the lead:

    Greg Price @greg_price11 3h
    You gotta be kidding me.

    The prosecutor who questioned Stormy Daniels in court today donated $1,000 to Joe Biden in 2020, as well as $900 to ActBlue.

    You can add that conflict of interest to the other prosecutor who was #3 at Biden’s DOJ and worked for the DNC, the judge who also donated to Biden, and the judge’s daughter raising millions of dollars for Democrats off the indictment.

    Stormy Daniels signed two letters in 2018 saying she never had an affair with Trump and currently owes him $122K after losing defamation case.

    Michael Cohen both pleaded guilty to lying to Congress and admitted to committing perjury in court.

    These are the "star witnesses" in Alvin Bragg and Juan Merchan's case against President Trump.

    And Merchan threatened to put Trump in jail simply for pointing it all out.

    Alex Bruesewitz @alexbruesewitz 13h
    Stormy Daniels is Biden’s “star witness” today.

    In 2018 she signed a statement saying that Trump NEVER paid her “hush money.”

    When Trump shared it, Biden-donor-Judge Merchan threatened to throw him in jail if he didn’t delete it.

    Would be a shame if it went viral again today.

    Quick Hits 2

    Flaky corpservative Kristi Noem tells Fox News "journalist" Stuart Varney that he "needs to stop" asking her about her puppy murder. I think the media is fixated on the puppy murder to draw attention away from the goat murder she killed the same day (IIRC) but that's just me, I believe in the value of goats' lives.


    Victor Davis Hanson doesn't look too comfortable about Megyn Kelly's cruelty in trashing Noem about her lies about meeting (and staring down) Kim Il-Jun. Noem weirdly says she worked to correct this lie "as soon as it was brought to my attention," but... her ghostwriter must have gotten it from somewhere, and Kristi Noem read this passage aloud for the audiobook. Didn't she hear this lie then? Was she just zoned out completely? Is it a lie she's told, Biden-like, so many times it's become part of her Personal Head Cannon?

    Kelly is probably riding her hard because they both kind of inhabit the same social space -- pretty women near the top of the pile in the politico-media sphere -- and people who occupy the same sort of slot tend to be enemies.

    Especially if they're women. Obviously.

    But who cares about her bias. Kristi Noem showed her true colors when she vetoed the no-boys-in-girls-sports law, and then lied about just wanting to avoid litigation or having only exercised the veto for technical reasons. She's another small-state red governor, like Asa Hutchinson, entirely dependent on her state's corporate oligarchs, who are of course all-in on transgenderism. Fuck her and the dead dog (and goat) she rode in on.

    Megyn Kelly nails her on her "Aw shucks" shitkicker schtick. Whenever you catch her in a lie, she says something like "Well that's just the way we get things done on the ranch, you urban pointyheads wouldn't understand."

    I understand you shot a puppy and didn't meet Kim Il-Jun. Would spending time holding a pitchfork improve my understanding?

    An ex-CNN "reporter" tells a frightening story of attending a dinner party with educated, nicely-dressed people of her social order.. only to discover they were all "closeted Trump supporters" and "MAGAts." And this knowledge, that "MAGAts" might be walking around pretending to be humans, "haunts" her.

    Chilling!

    Ex-CNN reporter Michelle Kosinski wrote in a Sunday social media post that she was surprised by how "normal" a group of "closeted" Trump supporters seemed at a dinner she attended, which she said continues to "haunt" her.

    "All were well-educated and successful in careers. They seemed great! On the surface. For like an hour. But slowly, over a few drinks, they began to let slip their true MAGA natures," Kosinski wrote.

    Kosinski, a former correspondent for both CNN and NBC News, wrote that one couple in the group wouldn't allow their kids to apply to Ivy League universities, but were "weird" about explaining their reasoning. Others used air-quotes while talking about climate change.

    "The others-- when they realized that a few in their presence came armed with (gasp) actual facts (NO!)-- quickly changed the subject and nervously said they don't want to talk politics. They realized they would be eviscerated on all idiotic points, especially on the economy," Kosinski said.

    Kosinski said it was funny how "extremist" or "wrong" beliefs can leak out from those who you least expect, but warned, "they are out there."

    "This dinner continues to haunt me. They all seemed so... normal. When I asked the couple who were my old friends how THEY didn't know, they said that in their upscale FL neighborhood, people are extremely careful not to ever broach or debate the subject. This is not healthy," Kosinski continued in her thread.

    Yes, dear, Those People are unhealthy. On the other hand, you in your bitter, twisted hysteria and obsessive hatred -- you're completely healthy.

    Hey, Valley of the Dolls, how many fucking pills are you on? Do you even know?


    "If people don't ever talk about these things as friends and neighbors, and only live in their own warped information silos, how will they ever learn what is true or false? How will the truth ever make them consider alternatives? The allure of bulls--- is co-opting decent minds," Kosinski wrote.

    LOL. The MAGAts live "in their own warped information silos." Yes, of course.

    It is truly amazing how at a time when mortgage rates have close to tripled in three years, overall consumer prices are up 20 percent (25 for food), and Russia's at war in Eastern Europe and the entire Middle East is a powder keg -- the response is "MAGAts don't know facts!"


    As you probably have heard by now, this excitable little idiot actually managed to get laughed out of the "news" industry when she rowed a kayak to pretend that flood waters were so deep they required boats to get around in. She was humiliated when two men walked into frame, showing that the flooding was about six inches deep.

    Jen Psaki: Don't Give Up Hope for a Biden Win -- After All, Trump Could Die!

    I've been repeatedly told that any talk about deaths in politics encourages assassins to kill people, and cannot be tolerated at all.

    But here's Jen Psaki telling millions (well, dozens) of low-functioning mentally-ill retards that the only way Biden can win is for Trump to die.

    Kathy Hochul says that black kids "don't even know what a computer is."

    Watch the face of the black woman giving a sign-language replay of her comments when she gets to Hochul's assertions about black ignorance.

    I guess we have to talk about this: The Pro-Hamas Terrorists proved themselves ineffectual failures, just like the Met Gala said they were.

    Not even any red paint splashed on them. (I guess -- who can tell with this troupe of garish clowns.)

    Ugh, Cardi B. and her self-reported oozing minge.

    Apparently this pyrsyn is some kind of disposable pop act, so she dresses in a wet clingy film and exposes her nipples. Eh, she's a Hooters Fry Cook 5.

    At this point it's just too easy to make fun of Lizzo, so let me get right on that. I'm not proud.

    lizzo.jpg

    If I'm being honest, and I don't mean to be, that's one of the less-awful dresses I've seen.

    Megyn Kelly rants about it here. It costs $75,000 per person to attend -- per regular person, you understand. The C- and D-list celebrities are comped to draw in the fame-thirsting nobodies.

    If you skip to 12:30, you can see the best part of an Met Gala: Stunning and brave gay men wearing dresses.

    I was sad to see Chris Hemsworth there -- not wearing a dress, just at the vile event -- but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say he just went as a favor to his wife.

    Though I'm getting a little tired of him and his delusion that he's a hilarious comedic actor.

    219 Lived in NH for a few years. I wasn't at the new house from more than 10 minutes before my neighbors showed up and warned me about putting but bird feeders because the bears love those things.

    One of hubby's coworkers worked on assignment somewhere in SE Asia for a time. His wife was throwing rice out for the birds one day. Their neighbor came over and quickly told her not to do that, because "Birds bring snakes". Wife didn't think too much of it and kept throwing out rice.

    A couple of days later, she slid the drapes aside by their sliding door, only to be greeted with a giant ass cobra "standing" 6 feet high right outside on their patio.

    Yeah, the birds didn't get fed after that....

    80 It wasn't a bad dog. Ths dog was a14 month old puppy in its first outing as a hunting dog. The dog was not trained and she was aggravated by what it was doing. She stopped at another farm and let the BIRD DOG out. It killed 2 chickens. Hunting dogs have a huge prey drive. They will kill small animals. Anyone with experience with them knows that. When she tried to take the dead bird away the dog growled and snapped. Of course. She was pissed off and dragged the dog to the gravel pit and killed it. She is totally at fault for not keeping a training collar on the dog and keeping it under control. Then lost her temper. She is my God but she is an idiot. I have not ever trusted her. She has also had extensive plastic surgery to get ready for the campaign trail.

    I don't accept that it was in fact "mad". Maybe it was; maybe it was a bit too aggressive and would have been fine with better training. Or maybe Noem just didn't like it. She says some version of each of those, so I don't really know what to believe.

    Whatever the truth surrounding the dog, she's proven herself untrustworthy, even by politician standards.

    89 I’m with ten. The Kristi shot a puppy story is well past the used by date. The dog was a full grown adult dog, she lived on a 10,000 acre ranch , vets don’t show up on one to euthanize a dog , and her family was the second owner and last chance for the dog to be retrained. Goat is no different ion that it was dangerous and it was time to end the situation. Go talk to any legitimate rescue and they will all tell you that euthanasia is a much better choice than passing around dangerous animals. I think Noem was dumb for writing a book about herself and her ranch experiences growing up that a lot of suburban and city dwellers who think Disney is real would be aghast and the media would run with, but that’s what being from a smaller, isolated state government will blind you to.

    137 Hunting dogs have a huge prey drive. They will kill small animals. Anyone with experience with them knows that. When she tried to take the dead bird away the dog growled and snapped. Of course. She was pissed off and dragged the dog to the gravel pit and killed it. She is totally at fault for not keeping a training collar on the dog and keeping it under control. Then lost her temper. She is my God but she is an idiot. I have not ever trusted her. She has also had extensive plastic surgery to get ready for the campaign trail.

    Almost all dogs have a huge prey drive. When we walk our dogs I can spot Black Dog Three shifting into predator mode constantly when she sees a squirrel. Dogs are predators that were designed, manufactured and built to hunt, that's what they do and that's what they are. You can't get away from that without extensive training. And she is an idiot thinking something else was going to happen in that situation.

    She killed the goat because it was smelly and went after kids?
    Does she know what a goat is? They are nasty animals.

    Anyway, there was an implication at the end that I did not understand. She said it was put in the book to clear up some rumors in SD about the incident? Did I misunderstand that? Is this the cleaned up version - that she shot a goat for smelling?

    And, today I learned that white women use hair extensions. Why don't they just grow the hair if hey want longer hair?

    You can clear a neglected property with a herd of goats quick. The problem after that is what to do with them. You can eat them but I don't care for the flavor or texture of the meat. Most people around here just toss them on the smoker and let them go for 10-12 hours. They always put too much spice on them.

    This!!!

    Disagree on the dog hubbub though. If the rest of the story is true, the dog was killing someone else's chickens, putting the dog down is not a problem. And no, it is not any kinder to take the dog to a kill vet to have it poisoned, er, put to sleep. A bullet to the head is a quick death.

    My uncle, a farmer, put down a dog in just that way because it bit a child on the lip. If you had suggested to him that he spend good money to pay a vet to give the dog a shot, he would have laughed in your urban-dwelling face.

Some of these people looked like shit with improper fitted clothes, pants too long bunched up at the ankle, jacket sleeves too long or too short, improperly buttoned, gold and non-gold together, and one dude that was front and center with striped tennis style leather shoe which is lame AF. Wearing tennis shoes with a suit trying to be edgy n cool should be grounds for a beating. If it was my event most of them people wouldn't have gotten in the door. Some "fashion" icon Winter is.

    Quick Hits

    Hamas makes a new wonderful ceasefire offer for Israel -- would you accept dead hostages (aka "murder victims") in our hostages-for-prisoners deal?

    What a deal! Hamas has a new proposal for a cease-fire, disguised as the former US-negotiated hostage deal, but with a new twist. Now that the Israelis have made it clear that Joe Biden won't stop them from destroying the remaining Hamas brigades in Rafah, they want to go back to the deal they rejected ... as long as the Israelis aren't too picky about body temperature:

    [The Times of Israel:]

    In an announcement detailing the clauses to which it had agreed Monday in the latest proposal for a deal, the terror group said, "During the first phase, Hamas releases 33 Israeli detainees (alive or corpses)."

    The New York Times reported Tuesday that the terror group had explicitly told mediators that some of the 33 hostages it would release under the first phase of the prospective deal would not be alive. The Times said it was not clear whether the terror group had informed interlocutors how many of the 33 would be alive.

    A failure to release 33 living hostages would appear to conflict with Israeli demands.

    I'm feeling a real Colonel Kurtz kind of way about these Gazans.

    People are declaring this summer to be "Frat Boy Summer." What they mean is that this is the summer that traditionalist men declare, "We're here, we're straight, we want to wear loose shorts with lots of big pockets."

    Miranda Divine: Frat Boy Summer is this year's backlash against an epidemic of arrogant, entitled women.

    Behold the "frat boys" unapologetically saving Old Glory, singing the national anthem, chanting "USA, USA, USA," and rudely ridiculing the campus freaks who parade around in Hamas colors and barricade themselves in university buildings.

    God forbid! They look like Trump voters.

    This display of irrepressible masculinity erupting in Gen Z is an affront to the grand societal feminization project of the left, which has only itself to blame.

    Frat Boy Summer is this year's backlash against an epidemic of arrogant, entitled women who have been coddled all their lives and think they're smarter and more important than they really are.

    It is a manifestation of the growing political divide between men and women that has been evident in opinion polls for some time. There is a 10-point gap on most issues between men and women.

    Young unmarried women, in particular, skew very left, while young men are becoming markedly more conservative.

    The latest ABC-Ipsos poll over the weekend showed Donald Trump winning the under-30s by five points over Joe Biden, 48% to 43%. That was entirely down to Trump's huge advantage with young men, 54% to 43%.

    Young women favored Biden by three points, 44% to 41%, still a rather anemic vote of confidence considering all the "Handmaid's Tale"-style propaganda being thrown at them about abortion and Trump's beastly ways.

    It's a nightmare scenario for Biden, who has been counting on the youth vote to win him the election like it did in 2020. Hence his desperate pandering to Gen Z.

    The president is splashing around billions of taxpayer dollars on student debt relief, relaxing cannabis legislation, championing "trans kids" as the greatest heroes of their generation and inviting gender-fluid young TikTok influencers to VIP events at the White House. This is not your granddad's Joe Biden.

    But none of it can close the growing ideological gulf between the sexes, which has its roots in the unjust treatment of boys and young men in recent decades.

    The college gender gap was a crisis when men outnumbered women up until the 1980s, but now that there are three women for every two men in college, we must rejoice. You go, girl!

    Now there are 1 million fewer men in college than in 2011, according to Pew Research, with one-quarter of male Ivy Leaguers identifying as LGBT. It's sexual reparations in which nobody had a say.

    There is a cohort of women who are giving the fairer sex a bad name. These toxic femmes gobbled up the unjust privileges of affirmative action and the punitive fakery that the #MeToo movement became and then found they were more miserable than ever.

    So they doubled down, offloading blame onto the patriarchy or toxic masculinity or whatever excuse they could find to avoid looking in the mirror.

    Speaking of, neurotic hysterical White Women are now pushing the latest shrill propganda, claiming that it's safer to encounter a bear in the woods than a (spit) man.

    They claim that men are more dangerous to women than bears.

    Which is a strange claim, as they encounter hundreds of men daily, with few adverse incidents.

    They have never encountered a single bear, of course.

    So as usual, humiliating levels of childlike ignorance is both their shield and their sword.


    Man Or Bear? Many Women Say They'd Rather Be Stuck In The Woods With A Bear In Latest Viral TikTok Debate


    In the latest viral debate taking over TikTok, users are asking women whether they'd rather be trapped in the woods with a man or a bear, and many are choosing the bear, stating that a man may pose more potential danger than the wild animal--and the trend is sparking conversations about violence against women.

    Many women participating in a new viral debate on TikTok say they would rather be alone with a bear than a man in the woods, answering a hypothetical question that is leading many women to open up about negative experiences they have had with men, including domestic violence and sexual assault.

    Some women say they'd choose the bear because they don't know the man in question--like one user, who said "it's not my boyfriend, it's not my father, it's not my cousin," adding being alone with an "unpredictable strange man is more frightening than being alone with a predictable wild animal."

    In one video liked more than 2 million times, a user compiled some of the most gut-wrenching reasons women chose the bear--such as "the worst thing the bear can do is kill me," "the bear doesn't get enjoyment out of it" and "the bear sees me as a human being."

    The bear. The bear "sees you as a human being," you say.

    Remarkable.


    Some users are flipping the question, asking men whether they'd rather their wife or daughter be alone with a bear or a man in the woods, and many of the men chose bear--including one, who said "I think you're more likely to anticipate what a bear would do than what a man would do."

    I think that guy is grinding feminist points for snizz.

    Now, if the question were "would you rather be alone with a "male feminist" or a bear" -- that I could see being a closer question.


    Boy Scouts to change its name again, kind of like a child sex predator hoping that people will forget about it.

    Boy Scouts of America is changing its name for the first time in its 114-year history in a bid to 'boost inclusion'.

    The Texas-based organization is set to become Scouting America as it hopes to improve participation amid flagging membership.

    The historic change is the latest in a series designed to take the troop into the 21st century, including allowing gay youth and welcoming girls throughout its ranks.

    It comes as the organization is emerging from bankruptcy following a flood of sexual abuse claims.

    'In the next 100 years we want any youth in America to feel very, very welcome to come into our programs,' Roger Krone, who took over last fall as president and chief executive officer, said in an interview before the announcement.

    A female darts competitor forfeited the championship match rather than play against a man in a Party City wig.

    'I'm not playing against a man in a women's event.' That is what British darts champion Deta Hedman said Saturday. So, she forfeited her match against transgender competitor Noa-Lynn van Leuven at the Denmark Open.

    Yay for her. She is 64 years old and has been a vocal critic against rules that allow men to compete in women's sports. She is well-known among women's darts fans. She previously called on the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) and the World Darts Federation (WDF) to exclude men from women's tournaments.

    Instead of competing with van Leuven in the WDF tournament quarter-finals, she boycotted the game.

    A round of applause for Deta Hedman.

    She posted on her Facebook page about her decision two days before the match. "Women & girls deserve to be CHAMPIONS in their own sports."

    A TIPP poll -- which puts Biden slightly ahead of Trump -- simultaneously finds that Biden has lost 28 points of support among blacks.

    A new I&I/TIPP poll highlights a dramatic 28-point decline in support for President Joe Biden among Black Americans since the 2020 election, marking a significant shift in voter sentiment.

    Key Details:

    In the 2020 presidential election, 87% of Black voters supported Biden, but recent figures show only 59% now do, reflecting a 28% drop.

    Former President Donald Trump has increased his support among Black voters from 12% in 2020 to 15% today.

    The poll also notes Biden's decreased support among Hispanic and independent voters, with Trump leading significantly among independents in scenarios including third-party candidates.

    But he's ahead of Trump. Riiiiight.


    The National Lawyers Guild -- the outfit that pays the bail money and provides free lawyers for antifa and other domestic terrorists -- warns Jews "you will not be safe until Palestinians are safe."

    I'm sure Jake Tapper will cover that story, running B-roll video of Trump supporters to "illustrate" it.

    16 All the people that want to make Boy Scouts something different than a fun way to show boys manly life skills is wrong and will end in failure. Which is probably the goal.

    Inclusion will turn out to be as successful as Boy Scouts 2.0 gay grooming boogaloo. I know that no one there is serious. Because if they were they would dump all their advisors, leftist money bag organizations supporting them, and go back to small troops operating on a shoe string.

    The Boy Scouts needs stoicism. That would solve a whole lot of their issues.

So good for men that these lunatics — almost certainly fugly dykes — would choose a bear. Bullet, dodged. This is the type of woman that is so toxic and terrible that men would throw them to the bears to be eaten just to not have to spent another fucking second with.

Hasidim come up from the city to summer camps which doubles the population of the county. In late 90s or early 2000s a mother left her baby in a stroller outside their cabin which was next to a dumpster. A young bear came out of the woods grabbed the baby by the head and broke it's neck. So yeah bears see us as humans, they also see us as food

    Video reportedly shows a group of rioters in Athens, Greece trying to break in and surround a hotel where they heard Jews are staying. This is a lynch mob. Terrifying.

    Oh, yes - the wounds are completely healed up. I wasn't worried about it, to be honest - it was a known possible complication, but I knew that if I got in to see wound care in a timely manner that everything would be okay in the end, and it was 😊❤️.

    I was a little scared at first, but underneath I was sure it would resolve happily. No ugly scars, thank goodness!

    102 And the thing about bears in the woods. If you are going into bear areas you are with bears. They know where you are and aren't currently eating you because they just decided not to yet. Every time I've seen a bear they were looking right at me watching. Then they lazily trundle up a 40deg incline at human running speed to take a dump somewhere or eat somebody else.

    I'm actually surprised there aren't more incidents. I'm not loud yelling or bashing cymbals, playing an accordion. Pretty silent. But they knew I was there long before I was aware of their presence.

    =======
    Bears are one of those varmints that even long arms like shotgun with slugs or something like a 45-70 can seem underpowered. If one is walking around in the wilderness in bear country, you want the biggest, baddest firearm you can handle with deep penetrating heavy bullets. Thus, to get even some of that deadly effect in a handgun requires moving up to those ultra hard recoiling magnum rounds where the 357 Magnum with heavy bullets is considered at the low end of the power scale.

    Some folks hunt other game with those heavy handguns too to make it a sport as you have to have good stalking skills to get close enough to shoot them with a handgun at 100 yards or so.

    Me, I wouldn't walk in the woods in bear country. without a firearm.

    166 Bears are one of those varmints that even long arms like shotgun with slugs or something like a 45-70 can seem underpowered. If one is walking around in the wilderness in bear country, you want the biggest, baddest firearm you can handle with deep penetrating heavy bullets. Thus, to get even some of that deadly effect in a handgun requires moving up to those ultra hard recoiling magnum rounds where the 357 Magnum with heavy bullets is considered at the low end of the power scale.

    Some folks hunt other game with those heavy handguns too to make it a sport as you have to have good stalking skills to get close enough to shoot them with a handgun at 100 yards or so.

    Me, I wouldn't walk in the woods in bear country. without a firearm.

    There is a guy on Ammoland that has tracked bear attacks on humans for years and has a regular column about it. I actually think he lives in Washington State so that might tell you a bit about the risk level.

    The other risk beyond bears are the two legged criminals that lurk around trials for victims. That is pretty much a problem in the wilderness everywhere and some of the reason that an individual or a couple just disappear there.

    Woke up to take a leak in the river the next morning and there were bear tracks through the sand about 20 feet from where we slept. The tracks were not there when we went to bed.

    A couple of days later, she slid the drapes aside by their sliding door, only to be greeted with a giant ass cobra "standing" 6 feet high right outside on their patio.

    The New York Times -- "All the News That's Fit to Print" -- Finally Admits the Existence of Covid "Vaccine" Injuries, Three Years After Hundreds of Millions of Injections

    Sometimes late is not necessarily better than never.

    The Times gave the delicate task of offering a Modified Limit Hang-Out to the public they've been immunizing with massive doses of disinformation to Apoorva Mandavilli, who herself has been noted as one of the worst covid reporters and a constant font of alarmist panic-porn disinformation.


    The New York Times Spreads Misinformation About COVID-19

    Patiently waiting for senators and whistleblowers to freak out over this

    Regime Lies are not disinformation, they are a Deeper Form of Truth.


    The purported threat of social media has emerged once again as a top concern of senators, whistleblowers, and members of the press. They are very, very worried about Facebook fanning the flames of hate, compromising U.S. democracy, and spreading COVID misinformation.

    How many of them are worried about the COVID misinformation being spread by The New York Times?

    The paper of record had to print a lengthy correction to a big error in a Thursday news article. The story was about other countries' approaches to vaccinating young people, and whether one shot would be better than two given the risks of heart inflammation in teenagers. The article wrongly claimed that nearly one million U.S. children--900,000 to be precise--had been hospitalized with COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic.

    The actual number? About 63,000 since August 2020, when stats first became available.

    And while that was the biggest error, it wasn't the only mistake in the story. According to the correction, the reporter "described incorrectly the actions taken by regulators in Sweden and Denmark" and misstated the timing of a crucial Food and Drug Administration meeting.

    This wasn't a junior reporter new to the job. The author was the paper's lead coronavirus correspondent, Apoorva Mandavilli. (Her bio, which notes that she won the Victor Cohn Prize for Excellence in Medical Science Reporting in 2019, appears under the correction.)

    This isn't Mandavilli's first questionable article. In early August, FiveThirtyEight's Nate Silver accused her of framing the Provincetown study of the delta variant's spread in a "misleading and sensationalist way."

    Mandavilli also tweeted, as recently as May of 2021, that the lab leak theory of COVID-19's origins is "racist" at its roots. She eventually deleted that tweet but doubled down on the sentiment.

    In general, her pandemic reporting has manifested a paranoid slant. But the Thursday article wasn't just slanted; it was wrong, wrong, wrong.

    And only now, after hundreds of millions of doses, does the Times even admit the possibility that people have been getting injured (or killed) by their miracle non-vaccine vaccine.

    Note that from the start, the article speaks of "belief" that the non-vaccine vaccine causes injury.

    Thousands Believe Covid Vaccines Harmed Them. Is Anyone Listening?

    All vaccines have at least occasional side effects. But people who say they were injured by Covid vaccines believe their cases have been ignored.

    Given that this is the Times' first foray into the entire subject, how is it merely a "belief" that they're being ignored?

    They are being ignored. That's a fact, not a "belief."

    Why did it take the Times so long to even address this important subject?

    Ah, they've got that covered -- see, they've been researching this single story for more than a year, you see.


    Apoorva Mandavilli spent more than a year talking to dozens of experts in vaccine science, policymakers and people who said they had experienced serious side effects after receiving a Covid-19 vaccine.

    Some might say that the year of "talking" wasn't for purposes of gathering information, but for endlessly delaying any reporting about the information that's been in hand for a year.

    It's almost as if The Regime has told us ten Foundational Lies in the past eight years upon which all of their authority depends, and are extremely unwilling to admit they lied.


    Within minutes of getting the Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine, Michelle Zimmerman felt pain racing from her left arm up to her ear and down to her fingertips. Within days, she was unbearably sensitive to light and struggled to remember simple facts.

    She was 37, with a Ph.D. in neuroscience, and until then could ride her bicycle 20 miles, teach a dance class and give a lecture on artificial intelligence, all in the same day. Now, more than three years later, she lives with her parents. Eventually diagnosed with brain damage, she cannot work, drive or even stand for long periods of time.

    "When I let myself think about the devastation of what this has done to my life, and how much I've lost, sometimes it feels even too hard to comprehend," said Dr. Zimmerman, who believes her injury is due to a contaminated vaccine batch.

    The Covid vaccines, a triumph of science and public health, are estimated to have prevented millions of hospitalizations and deaths. Yet even the best vaccines produce rare but serious side effects. And the Covid vaccines have been given to more than 270 million people in the United States, in nearly 677 million doses.

    Weird. You say it's routine and predictable that "even the best vaccines" cause injury.

    But you've denied it until this moment with this vaccine. In fact, you're not even admitting it here. You're still claiming the covid non-vaccine vaccine might not be causing injury, and that all the people claiming injury merely "believe" they've been injured.

    If injuries are commonplace and to be expected -- and thus, no big deal -- why have you denied their very existence until now?


    Dr. Zimmerman's account is among the more harrowing, but thousands of Americans believe they suffered serious side effects following Covid vaccination. As of April, just over 13,000 vaccine-injury compensation claims have been filed with the federal government -- but to little avail. Only 19 percent have been reviewed. Only 47 of those were deemed eligible for compensation, and only 12 have been paid out, at an average of about $3,600.

    Some scientists fear that patients with real injuries are being denied help and believe that more needs to be done to clarify the possible risks.

    "At least long Covid has been somewhat recognized," said Akiko Iwasaki, an immunologist and vaccine expert at Yale University. But people who say they have post-vaccination injuries are "just completely ignored and dismissed and gaslighted," she added.


    In interviews and email exchanges conducted over several months, federal health officials insisted that serious side effects were extremely rare and that their surveillance efforts were more than sufficient to detect patterns of adverse events.

    The events are "extremely rare," and so, as with women making false sexual abuse claims, they can be safely propagandized as entirely non-existent. Is that how The Science (TM) works?

    "Hundreds of millions of people in the United States have safely received Covid vaccines under the most intense safety monitoring in U.S. history," Jeff Nesbit, a spokesman for the Department of Health and Human Services, said in an emailed statement.

    But in a recent interview, Dr. Janet Woodcock, a longtime leader of the Food and Drug Administration, who retired in February, said she believed that some recipients had experienced uncommon but "serious" and "life-changing" reactions beyond those described by federal agencies.

    "I feel bad for those people," said Dr. Woodcock, who became the F.D.A.'s acting commissioner in January 2021 as the vaccines were rolling out. "I believe their suffering should be acknowledged, that they have real problems, and they should be taken seriously."

    "I'm disappointed in myself," she added. "I did a lot of things I feel very good about, but this is one of the few things I feel I just didn't bring it home."

    Even Basement Boy Chris Cuomo is now airing the testimony of people who "BELIEVE" they were injured by the vaccine.

    In fact, the Basement Boy, who once warned that America's greatest enemies were "our fellow Americans" who were vaccine-hesitant, now says that he himself has a lingering health problem caused by the non-vaccine vaccine:

    NewsNation anchor Chris Cuomo admitted to suffering from side effects he believes were caused by the COVID-19 vaccine.

    "We know that vaccines can have unintended consequences, aka side effects, but nobody's really talking about it because they're too afraid of blame, and they just want it to go away," Mr. Cuomo said on his eponymous show while interviewing nurse practitioner Shaun Barcavage.

    "But the problem is people like Shaun -- and me -- and millions of others who still have weird stuff with their bloodwork and their lives and their feelings, you know, physically, are not going away," he said.

    Mr. Cuomo brought Mr. Barcavage on the show after he was featured in a New York Times article about several people who feel they have been harmed by the vaccine. Mr. Barcavage recounted his story, saying that since his first shot, his heart starts racing every time he stands up. He said he has had pain in his eyes, mouth and genitals that has since gone away, but continues to have tinnitus.

    29 I still support the development of the "vaccines". It's easy to second guess now, but we were genuinely terrified, and the vaccine companies didn't really want to develop vaccines with shortened testing because of the fear of lawsuits. The only way for this to work was for government to insulate them.

    That said, the damage is incalculable, but in addition to those directly hurt, the reputations of FDA, CDC, and government in general are now IMHO irreversibly tarnished, to the point that the next time there's a pandemic, and there will be one, nobody will trust them. The results of that mistrust could be catastrophic for all of us.

    To describe their malfeasance as " I just didn't bring it home" is inexcusable. You lied, and many people died as a result.

    Well, if they can get out in front of a narrative change and hang the vaccine around Trump's neck (and he continues to do all he can to help them along on that), rest assured they will, every time.

    It does, however, raise the question of why they think a narrative change is coming and/or necessary. I can think of several reasons for that, none of them good.

    Dunno if I would call the process beautiful because it was all so unnecessary. Our managerial elite cannot admit any mistakes because they have been lying and covering up evil deeds done to the people of the world for nearly a century. Had they taken their lumps when they blew it, the severity required in fixing the societal issues caused by the lying and evil deeds would have been much less.

    Instead, the evil clowns have doubled down and doubled down repeatedly with limited modified hangouts on virtually every massive mistake or evil deeds done by those in charge of society.

    I guess they figured like another evil clown, John Wayne Gacy, after the first murder--the rest are free and they will not stop until they are stopped by others.

    57 New omicron 'FLiRT' variants account for most COVID-19 cases in the US. Source: Scripps News...nicknamed "FLiRT,” account for 25% and 7.5% of the current COVID cases in the U.S., respectively...highly effective at evading the immune system, even more so than other omicron variants, which is why is leading to a higher rate of transmission.

    We're half way through year four of what usually ends up being a five year-ish emergency event. Most viral pandemics of this sort run five years before an amount of immunity prevails over the general global population, vaccine or none. Too soon to let one's guard down.

    how time flies when you're trying to avoid a killer virus. Maybe this is the last blast then. Hope it is. It's not like we ever got rid of the flu after all.

    That was me, and I was even tolerant of masking at first, for a brief period. I didn't like it, but I was tolerant of it until I learned it was all bullshit (almost immediately).

    But I looked at my risk profile, which was moderate but not bad. I was likely to live through COVID when I got it (I did). It might be miserable or not (it wasn't), but it was unlikely to kill me.

    So I came down on the "no rushed and possibly half-baked drugs using new technology with no track record of success" side of things. My risk assessment said I was better off risking COVID than leaving the entire known world of medicine behind. I didn't advocate for suppressing the vaccine, and I didn't insist that nobody ever should get it no matter what. But *my* risk appetite told me "no" and I was firmly opposed to any kind of mandate, and rejected the mandate.

    116 My question is "what has changed within the state and the LE complex that call the shots at the NYT that made them green-light this, and why now?"

    The NYT does nothing independently. It is the top state propaganda organ, and sets the tone and path for the orbiting organs.

    So why now?

    I saw somewhere this morning that there's a whisper campaign out of the White House to claim the NYT is fake news because they've accurately printed that people say they are suffering from Bidenflation. Not even that it's happening, that people believe they're suffering. That's considered dangerous and ultra-MAGA by the White House.

    In reply, the NYT's executive editor said they're not cheerleading for Biden, they're reporting things accurately and they don't care if it makes the WH sad. So this could be the NYT asserting some independence from the DNC party line while also playing into the junta's preference for the WaPo, the CIA's home paper.

    When I was eventually sat down for "counselling" by my supervisor and given an ultimatum of a) getting a clot shot OR filing for an exemption within 5 calendar days, or b) her starting the termination process, I threw a "hail Mary" and submitted a medical exemption request expressing concern over undergoing an experimental medical procedure (I didn't say "vaccination" or any form thereof) particularly with an existing autoimmune disease. The federal injunction blocking Pants-shittin' Joe's diktat was issued before my agency had an opportunity to deny my exemption request.

    Not quite, it was simply a vaccine using an already developed carrier for the spike instead of using messenger RNA-- J&J and Astra Zenica used an adrenovirus as carrier that was supposedly not infectious to humans and not able to change the genetic code of virus itself when inserted.

    The old fashioned way is to use killed or weakened virii. Novavax for Covid available now may be that sort of vaccine but have forgotten the details about it.

    -----
    The primary problem with J&J and Astra Zenica seems to be blood clotting issues and repeated boosters make it worse. Dunno about the long term effects as compared to Pfizer and Modern mRNA vaxx but the bad side effects may be more centered on the blood and pulmonary system than cancer causing etc. alleged for the mRNA types.

    164 Oh and the greatest reason people died from COVID? Northeastern governors intentionally sending COVID patients into nursing homes knowing those people were at the greatest risk. Whether it was because they really thought they needed to free up the hospital space, they didn't want to pay for medical care for them, or they just wanted to kill older people doesn't matter. They should all be on trial for mass murder.

    They created this virus through genetic engineering, and then tried to fix with it MORE genetic engineering?

    A lot of people hung their logical hat early on the Diamond Princess event. That was a very good indicator, but it wasn't the only data out there at the time. We were also getting scary videos smuggled out of China. There were also Church choir practice sessions that were super-spreader events. There were also lots of people dying at certain old folks homes.

    It turns out the info we got from the Diamond Princess incident predicted how the virus would behave in the US, but I don't think people who picked and chose other events to guide their actions were idiots.

My work place was going to fire me because I refused to take the fagcines. I was born with a birth defect, and no mfing doctor in NOVA would give me a medical exemption. From all the research I read (thank you Kirsch, Denninger, and Dominic Labonte), I knew if I took the fagcines, I was going to be injured or dead. I have faith that the evilness of the vaxx pushers will be rectified one way or another. I have zero empathy for the vaxx pushers who have died. Zero.

We visited more than that but had to stand outside the building, in fucking masks, and try to yell through a window that had so much insect mesh over it I could barely see through it.

    My aunt was in a nursing home and spent her 100th birthday alone because they weren't allowing visits and then died of covid four months later anyway

    Murdered? Fang Fang'd? Who knows. But we do know most of the information that came from China was intentionally falsified.

    233 The thing is, the pharma companies got a waiver or whatever it's called so they can't be sued over any of this.

    IIRC a class action suit over something as trivial as an XBox feature that doesn't work properly nets millions of dollars.

    Deaths or debilitating injuries would net a lot of money from several multi-billion dollar companies.

    But that won't happen.

    235 I sometimes wonder if something really nasty did make it out of the labs, but the ChiComs managed to keep it from escaping. Or possibly the ChiComs went on a massive internal purge they covered up with Covid. Maybe they were poisoning their enemies, then "leaking" videos to further their aims.

    Viruses are difficult to project lethality when they are new ones. All virii will have selection pressure to evolve to less deadly and therefore more transmissible. But, they also mutate a lot--I followed the genetics early on and there were 'hot' strains such as the one that apparently hit Italy appeared to be pretty deadly and not so hot ones.

    Medical care protocols for the virus was also all over the place. It ended up that Sweden with no lockdowns but protecting vulnerable populations was the best approach to it but that was not necessarily evident during the early months of Covid.

    In part, I think that Trump's indecision on Covid came from believing it was a bioweapon and it ended up costing him politically much more than the trivial impeachment. He got played by the medical manager types like Birx and Fauci and to this day has not admitted such.

    My wife and I live next to and downwind from a farm with chickens and ducks and neither of us ever get sick. Yet we've both endured a recent ten day period of respiratory badness, eternal nose drip, and productive and persistent cough. Quite a few of those chickens and ducks next door are dying.

    Are we all gonna die from bird flu? Nope. But it's gonna annoy some people and push some people on the edge of life/death over. The same way the common cold would. Prepare to be annoyed. Buy lots of boxes of tissue to blow your nose. It's something but not much of anything.

    Vaxxes were not even available outside of trials until Biden was inaugurated as Prezzie Junta Leader.

    Trump said in his defense, he never wanted mandatory shots and in fact when he got covid prior to the election, he was treated with monoclonal antibodies which did the trick to get him over it.

    Monoclonal antibodies are the better way to treat Covid for the infected rather than trying to vaccinate everyone.

Sure there was social distancing and some Plexiglas put up. Only wore a mask where you could avoid it, hospitals, doctors, dentist for some really dumb reason. Grocery stores weren't militant in Texas. The schools were the worse about trying to get you to vacs your kids but they couldn't mandate it in Texas so all my kids are pure bloods. They did miss a bunch of school for all the quarantining they had to endure every time they were exposed but it was excused absences. The worse part is the social damage it did to the kids. There are still kids that are way behind socially, emotionally, and academically. I'm pretty sure the kids are running 3 years behind but no one will admit it in the school system. They are just trying to push all the "covid kids" out before they have to face reality.

    What we don't know is what is causing the spike in unexpected deaths of young and youngish people in the UK that happened from 2021-2024. My guess from media stories to be direct effect from clot damage to circulation. Haven't tracked the UK for rise in cancers. In the US, we seem to be getting rises in cancer and heart conditions for young and old.

    Julie Kelly: DOJ Finally Admits They Doctored Trump's "Classified" Documents by Putting Them Inside Classified Information Folders, and Then Propagandizing the Country With Photos of Them

    Why is this important?

    Because the media seized on the idea -- no doubt intended by Merrick Garland's criminal gang at the DOJ -- that the fact that the "classified' documents were in folders plainly marked CLASSIFIED means that Trump could have no possible question that they were in fact classified, and no defense at any future trial.

    The DOJ blitzed the public with these photos to poison the jury pool with this idea.

    But it was all a lie.

    The FBI brought their own CLASSIFIED folders and then put Trump's documents inside them, then took pictures they immediately flooded the media with, creating the false impression in the minds of 300 million potential jurors that Trump knew these documents were classified.

    Julie Kelly:

    It is the picture that launched a thousand pearl-clutching articles.

    A few weeks after the armed FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago in August 2022, the Department of Justice released a stunning photograph depicting alleged contraband seized from Donald Trump's Palm Beach estate that day; the image showed colored sheets representing scary classification levels attached to files purportedly discovered in Trump's private office.

    A little ad for her. Click the link if you want to donate.


    Included as a government exhibit to oppose Trump's lawsuit requesting a special master to vet the 13,000 items taken from his residence, the crime scene pic immediately went viral--just as Attorney General Merrick Garland, who authorized the unprecedented raid, intended.

    At the time, even regime-friendly mouthpieces questioned the need and optics of the raid; the photo helped juice the DOJ's justification for the storming of Trump's castle.

    "[The] question of whether Trump had classified material with him at his Mar-a-Lago resort has captured the public's attention. The photo published by the government appears to answer that question quite affirmatively," Washington Post resident fact checker Philip Bump wrote on August 31, 2022.

    Some of Bump's colleagues were more hyperbolic. An ex-CIA officer told ABC News the cover sheets indicated the highest level of secrecy, which in the wrong hands could have resulted in murder. "People's lives are truly at stake. Without being melodramatic, anything that helps an adversary identify a human source means life and death," intelligence expert Douglas London melodramatically warned in reaction to the photo.

    The New York Times insisted the photo was consistent with how the FBI handles criminal investigations. "[It] is standard practice for the F.B.I. to take evidentiary pictures of materials recovered in a search to ensure that items are properly cataloged and accounted for. Files or documents are not tossed around randomly, even though they might appear that way; they are usually splayed out so they can be separately identified by their markings," reporters Glenn Thrush and Adam Goldman wrote on August 31, 2022.

    Except...that is not what happened.

    New court filings in Special Counsel Jack Smith's espionage and obstruction case against Trump and two co-defendants conclusively demonstrate that the government used the cover sheets to deceive the public as well as the court. The photo was a stunt, and one that adds more fuel to this dumpster-fire case.

    Jay Bratt, who was the lead DOJ prosecutor on the investigation at the time and now is assigned to Smith's team, described the photo this way in his August 30, 2022 response to Trump's special master lawsuit:

    "[Thirteen] boxes or containers contained documents with classification markings, and in all, over one hundred unique documents with classification markings...were seized. Certain of the documents had colored cover sheets indicating their classification status. (Emphasis added.) See, e.g., Attachment F (redacted FBI photograph of certain documents and classified cover sheets recovered from a container in the '45 office')."

    The DOJ's clever wordsmithing, however, did not accurately describe the origin of the cover sheets. In what must be considered not only an act of doctoring evidence but willfully misleading the American people into believing the former president is a criminal and threat to national security, agents involved in the raid attached the cover sheets to at least seven files to stage the photo.

    Classified cover sheets were not "recovered" in the container, contrary to Bratt's declaration to the court. In fact, after being busted recently by defense attorneys for mishandling evidence in the case, Bratt had to fess up about how the cover sheets actually ended up on the documents.

    Here is Bratt's new version of the story, where he finally admits a critical detail that he failed to disclose in his August 2022 filing:

    "[If] the investigative team found a document with classification markings, it removed the document, segregated it, and replaced it with a placeholder sheet. The investigative team used classified cover sheets for that purpose."

    But before the official cover sheets were used as placeholder, agents apparently used them as props. FBI agents took it upon themselves to paperclip the sheets to documents--something evident given the uniform nature of how each cover sheet is clipped to each file in the photo--laid them on the floor, and snapped a picture for political posterity.

    More at the link.

    In the NY Soros DA prosecution, the judge whose daughter is helps Adam Schiff raise money off her dad's court case threatened to jail Trump again.


    Before witness testimony started Monday, Merchan ruled that Trump violated his gag order for the tenth time, fining him for comments he made about the jury. Merchan said next time the court "will have to consider a jail sanction."

    Do it. Do it. I dare you.

    Meanwhile, Stormy Daniels testified, and implied that Trump had raped her. At least this paid whore described herself "shaking" after "the incident," suggesting that it was involuntary without actually saying so.

    Even the corrupt judge told her to knock it off with her highly political, choreographed defamation, saying that details of "the incident" are "irrelevant."

    The jury still heard them, of course. As planned.

    Remember, the prosecution called in Hope Hicks just so that he could read excerpts from NBC's leaked "grab them by the pussy" incident.

    This is all unduly prejudicial material, attempting to secure a conviction by bringing up irrelevant evidence (like the whore Stormy Daniels' claim she was Literally Shaking You Guys) or barely-relevant evidence that is brought in precisely to poison the jury against the defendant based on "prior (alleged) bad acts."

    And the judge lets it all in.

    It's critical that they get this shame conviction. Appellate courts will overturn it, but they need the conviction before the election.

    58 Remember, the used the Espionage Act to go after Trump, which means there is a counter-intelligence investigation or program that is open against him, which means they can spy on him to their hearts content as well as any of his associates and satellites.

    Also, it's a misnomer to say that Trump has classified documents, the term "classification" is meaningless when discussing a President of the United States and his documents, he is the Unitary Executive, their his f**king documents.

    Also, there is not a Tardis like room off of the Oval Office that holds the Unitary Executives Documents, they exist as digital documents that are requested, collated, compiled, sequenced and distributed by the personnel that handle documents for the President.

    HE DOESN'T GET HIS OWN DOCUEMNTS AND HE DOESN"T PACK HIS F**KING BOXES.

    The feds have a certain leeway when investigating alleged classified document cases like these when they find classified documents.


    But the general rule of thumb is if you find something you think that is classified you are supposed to stop reading the document, stuff it in a folder and pass it up the chain with signed evidence slips until it hits the desk of someone who is cleared to look at it.


    In this case I doubt there is an evidence log of any kind. Remember they refused to give Trumps attorneys a copy of the search warrant when they busted in.

    80 I watched the Ratcliffe interview.

    I'm disappointed at how carelessly the man speaks. When talking about the photo, he says it was staged and the classified documents were placed there by the FBI.

    He's correct, but imprecise. One could reasonably listen to him and think, "What's the big deal? We all realized the photo was staged and the documents were laid out by the FBI for that photo."

    He needed to make clear, as Ace did, that FBI put documents there the FBI BROUGHT FOR THE PURPOSE OF STAGING THE PHOTOGRAPH. Ratcliffe says that, but in a way that can easily and reasonably be misinterpreted to make it sound as if he's only complaining about the documents in the photo being laid out by the FBI in a way that Trump didn't lay them out.

    I meant the Special Counsel. From my reading, he was fairly careful with the construction. He said documents had "markings" and "cover sheets" - but not *which* markings and cover sheets. He then includes a picture of manipulated evidence, but never said "he had secret documents." He said one statement that was likely true about markings and cover sheets, coupled it with the fraudulent picture, and let the reader draw the obvious conclusion.

    Where does that land? It looks to me like lying to the court, but I don't know if it technically is.

    87 "It's critical that they get this shame conviction. Appellate courts will overturn it, but they need the conviction before the election."

    I think they are grossly miscalculating here. A criminal conviction of Trump will almost certainly backfire and make him even more popular. Anyone who isn't a true believing leftist or paid NeverTrump whore knows full well the trial is phony and merely political persecution. If Trump were convicted, it would be like a badge of honor.

    210 But the general rule of thumb is if you find something you think that is classified you are supposed to stop reading the document, stuff it in a folder and pass it up the chain with signed evidence slips until it hits the desk of someone who is cleared to look at it.

    214 We are living under rule by law, as determined by their objectives, as opposed to rule of law. The only thing that might generate a suprised look is that they are being so blatant. The Hamas groupie festivals are another good example. Their are dozens of well documented Title IX civil rights violations at UCLA alone. There was the violent assault of the young Jewish girl by 5 thugs. Yet the newly appointed Chief of Safety's first course of action is to request the FBI's assistance in identifying and apprehending individuals who attacked the Hamas groupie camp. IMO, this is well beyond a dialog attempting resolution.

    220 As I pointed out the other day, the reason why this is such a big deal is tied back to the valet.
    Recall, they charged the guy who merely carried some boxes from the van to a room like he broke into INEL Las Almos and stole nuclear bomb research.
    Why? Why replace ordinary paper docs in a box with blaring 50-point, all-caps "SECRET"
    Because that photo, and the rest, were to coerce the valet to cop a plea. "Look, here's the photos of what we found: No way you couldn't have seen they were classified. We have you dead to rights on 100 years in the federal penitentiary. You'll never see your family again."
    "But you take our deal, plead guilty, we'll give 6 months deferred probation."
    Recall that? How it came out earlier that they were near desperate to get him to plea out for not even a wrist slap?
    Because that plea includes allocation that he did the crime. Knowingly.
    And that admission was to be "back-dated" to convict Trump.

    242 Trump is accused of paying a bill from his lawyer, and not stopping his accountant from calling it "legal expenses". That's it, that's the only accusation.

    To prove that crime, they put a porn star on the stand to testify she was roofied and then had sex with the Bad Accounting Man.

    249 Judge Juan Merchan said he agreed with Blanche that there were "some things that would be better left unsaid" in Daniels' testimony and that she was "a little bit difficult to control."
    But he said there were "guardrails in place," referring to limits on what the prosecution could ask about.
    "I don't believe we're at the point where a mistrial is warranted," said Merchan. "I will note that where there were objections, those objections for the most part were sustained. I will also note that I was surprised there were not more objections."
    Merchan pointed out that he objected at one point because "there was no objection coming from the defense," and told them to take some responsibility.
    "Whether these are new stories or not new stories, the remedy is on cross examination," added Merchan.
    He also offered to limit what the jury can consider regarding Daniels' story about being threatened in a parking lot.
    "The court has done everything that I could possibly do to protect both sides," Merchan said.

    261 That's how sleazy and dishonest Smith has always been.
    That's why he was chosen for this: They knew he will fabricate evidence, illegally coerce witnesses, lie to the court--whatever it takes to win.

    And getting the valet to flip was a key part.
    That's why the fake evidence.
    That's why boxes were sent later.

    The valet was supposed to be so frightened: They had photos of the markings clear to see. They had all these boxes and he had no idea which was which.
    He was supposed to roll on Trump and save his skin.
    And that betrayal would hang Trump.

    Any criminal defendant charged by Smith now has his admission in open court that he tampers with evidence.
    Ever single one should file a motion to re-open their case.

    That would be incorrect. Georgette Heyer was a British romance novelist (She also wrote mysteries) active maybe from the 30s to the 60's. She was very good with period details of the time, has excellent dialogue and sprightly heroines usually matching wits with rich men who never actually overpower the heroines .Of course, she's about the only romance novelist I have read so you may be correct about the others. I don't read what a male friend referred to as "bodice rippers". There isn't any bdice ripping in Heyers' books.

    291 Was Stormy Daniels raped by Donald Trump?
    Stormy Daniels says she "felt like the room spun in slow motion" when she left the bathroom..."There was an imbalance of power for sure. He was bigger and blocking the way..."I told very few people that we had actually had sex because I felt ashamed that I didn’t stop it,"

    It sounds to me like she went into a self-protection mode and that the encounter cannot be referred to as entirely consensual. There was no enthusiastic consent. Another jury has already concluded Trump is a rapist. There is precedent.

    Her testimony makes my heart ache. for her and all women who have been so exploited, used sexually and minimized as being a woman. tRump is filth.

    I have had a date rape incident that went a lot like this. Wonder if he ruffied her: off balance, room spinning? Just sayin.

    The spaces around "non/consensual" and "un/wanted" are large and always moving, which is why people are reluctant to report rape, why it's rarely prosecuted, and why society prefers perfect victims.

    Instead of the Solicitor General.

    1) it was sloppy work.

    3) solicitor general is inside regularl government and bound by their rules

    345 So keep in mind: Trump is not charged with possession of classified documents.

    He's charged with "mishandling documents with classified markings or materials."

    Because possession requires defusing the Constitutional issue that the chief executive is vested with un-reviewable plenary power to de-classify anything at any time in any way he sees fit including not notifying anyone else.

    But mishandling only requires proof the docs had classified materials or markings and were in Trump's possession.
    That's why the screaming and hollering over the jury charge:
    They can't allow Trump to put on evidence of the presidential plenary power--which will 100% be upheld by SCOTUS. And the Presidential Records Act and the Espionage Act-- as to the President-- will by held unconstitutional

    Because we haven't even gotten to the deposition and examination of the FBI agents who pulled the docs and replaced them.

    You know what comes out then?
    None of them had any but the barest training on what counts as classified.
    Let alone what classification level applies.

    This is what Smith is now desperately trying to prevent coming out.
    Why he has fought so hard to keep Trump from knowing all the witnesses.
    And why he's fought doubly hard to keep anyone from seeing the actual docs:

    They basically slapped "classified" on anything they guessed might be.
    Violation the warrent to "seize specified documents and items."

    They manufactured the evidence at the raid to justify the raid.

    They literally have no case here...Judge Cannon has bent over backwards to allow them to move forward, but I think she's now at the dismissal point with the latest occurrence of evidence tampering, which is the whole case for the DOJ. Smith isn't even a legal officer of the US Government, and they admitted to tampering with the evidence...what is even the case for the prosecution at this point? It's a guaranteed overturn on denial of multiple sections in the Bill of Rights...the fact that the judge hasn't stepped in and requested disciplinary action against the DOJ for bringing this case is mind-bending...

    ABC "News" Fires Its Woke DEI Hire "News Chief"

    They're pretending she left of her own accord. But there were reports a week ago that ABC "News" was going to get rid of her, so you tell me.

    She wasn't just a DEI hire. She is literally made of DEI atoms.

    ABC News President Kim Godwin, who touted diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), is reportedly on the chopping block, according to CNN.

    Debra OConnell, who was appointed in February to oversee the network, is currently conducting a leadership review as she has allegedly been appalled by Godwin's management and leadership style, sources told CNN. She has reportedly failed to replace key positions and has caused anxiety to circulate among staff.


    And now she's "retiring." Retiring under a cloud of failure and scandal, that is.


    ABC's 'Historic' Diversity Hire Out Of Top Spot Amid Rumors Her Incompetence Shocked Higher Ups

    ABC News President Kim Godwin stepped down Sunday night following an investigation into her management of her network.

    The overseer of the network, Debra O'Connell, opened a corporate investigation into Godwin and other senior executives over the growing frustration among staffers, vacant top positions and the drop in ratings at its prominent program, "Good Morning America." Several people alleged Godwin dedicated more time to her profile than creating success in the news division, and that her mismanagement "shocked" O'Connell, WSJ reported.

    "I have decided to retire from broadcast journalism," Godwin said in an email to staff Sunday night, according to WSJ. "Anyone who's passionate about what we do knows there's no other business like it, so this was not an easy or quick decision. But after considerable reflection, I'm certain it's the right one for me as I look to the future and prioritize what's most important for me and my family."

    ...

    Several executives were laid off in March 2023, reportedly causing "shock" throughout the newsroom. Godwin told her staff the downsizing was a "difficult time" for the entire network, but vowed they were on a "solid footing."

    Black Conservative Perspective points out that ABC "News" had the same problem with her that the Biden Usurpation has with Karine Jean-Pierre -- they can't be seen to be firing a Strong and Empowered WOC, so they have to just pressure her to "quit on her own."

    He also points to a claim from the Daily Beast, possibly just leftwing spin, that she was actually against DEI. Or, at least, the claim goes that she was against too much DEI -- she thought the network had "overcompensated" after the George Floyd riots Freedom Arsons and hired too many black people. Black people don't watch news, she reportedly said.

    Supposedly that's "controversial." But why? The network pays millions of dollars to know exactly who is watching every minute of its shows. This claim is either true or false -- not "controversial." Just true or false.

    The fact that they're creating a controversy about it suggests to me that it is substantially true. It's just another thing we're Not Allowed to Say after the George Floyd Freedom Arsons.

    But this whole claim sounds like spin, as I said. It may be that the DEI Dead-Enders want to say, "This isn't a loss for DEI, it's a great victory! That strong empowered Woman of Color was a racist and we got rid of her!"

    Speaking of creatures made entirely of DEI atoms:

    "I have decided to retire from broadcast journalism," Godwin said in an email to staff Sunday night, according to WSJ.

    They may not be perfect, but they have helped get conservatives on the SCOTUS and although we may not like all their rulings imagine if we had a SCOTUS full of Democrats.
    Now imagine if Texas elected a Democrat governor or Florida how different things would be.
    And then there are judges and school board members.

    In 2022, the Biden regime made it no longer "mandatory" to report crime stats to the FBI.

    The results was over 1/3 (over 6000 precincts) didn't report any crimes to the FBI.

    Cities that hardly reported any crime stats to the FBI include NYC, Baltimore, Washington DC, Miami and a ton of entire huge cities.

    Of course, this was done by the Democrats to hide their soaring crime numbers and easily fool low IQ sheep into believing easily provable hogwash.

    No, she didn't. At least, probably not.

    Senior executives don't just pull up stakes and walk. There's succession planning. There's a transition period. The executive is usually involved in the search committee for his or her replacement.

    Executives are rarely actually *fired* because it looks bad for everyone when it happens. Executives are bought out to save face. It goes like, "you're gone. You can 'resign' and walk out, or we can fire you. If you 'resign,' you'll stay on the payroll for six months, we'll give you a nice departure bonus, we'll cover your COBRA for 12 months and we'll give you a nice big chunk of stock vesting over three years, no questions asked. If you make us fire you, you get nothing."

    So they "resign." It's the way it works at that level. And this was sudden, and there does not appear to be a firm transition period or succession plan. She was fired.

    If the new guy helps purge pro-crime prosecutors and cops start arresting people again, the crime rate *will* go up. It has to. There will be more arrests, more prosecutions, more sentences.

    Umm...depends on the executive - most have employment contracts, getting them to resign means they've gotten corporate legal that their contract is still valid, in effect and payable - those typical last 2 or 3 years...otherwise, firing them for anything other than cause (fraud, theft, etc) triggers a clause that says the company is still on the hook for the entire contract salary and, if challenged, the company will most certainly lose.

    274 Serial Burglar First To Be Jailed Following Prosecution By Private Police Force

    A prolific burglar has become the first to be jailed in a prosecution by a private police force after the local constabulary failed to investigate.

    The thief, who had 105 previous convictions including 33 burglaries, was arrested by two detectives from the private policing company after he broke into an M&S store to steal £500 of sirloin, T-bone steak and 20 bottles of Prosecco.

    Even though he was caught in the act on CCTV and the M&S store manager called the police, the Metropolitan Police decided not to investigate.

    Take the Boys Clubs of America and the Girls Clubs of America. They used to be separate. In 1990, it went co-ed and changed its name to "Boys and Girls Clubs of America." That same year, some of the Girls Clubs of America split with the larger organization (though, as near as I can tell, kept the original Girls Clubs charter and pedigree - they aren't clear on their website, and the history sections are sparse) and became "Girls, Inc." It still around, and still unisex.

    Here's the thing:

    I simply do not believe inner city vote totals. At all. They're fake, and they've been fake for decades.

    Since the majority of the black population is in inner cities, I doubt the 90-10 veracity. I have no idea what the general black voting preferences are.

    I just know that inner cities report something that may or may not reflect reality. If it doesn't reflect reality, it'd be real nice if inner city populations corrected that.

    414 Here's the thing:

    I simply do not believe inner city vote totals. At all. They're fake, and they've been fake for decades.

    Since the majority of the black population is in inner cities, I doubt the 90-10 veracity. I have no idea what the general black voting preferences are.

    I just know that inner cities report something that may or may not reflect reality. If it doesn't reflect reality, it'd be real nice if inner city populations corrected that.
    Posted by: TheJamesMadison, fighting kaiju with Ishiro Honda at May 07, 2024 03:22 PM (GBKbO)

    Nah, we have a pretty good idea.

    It's entirely possible that the inner city vote totals are fictional. I assume they are.

    But the GOP/Dem breakdown in elected officials, talking heads etc. indicate that 90-10 probably isn't all that inaccurate as to how blacks would vote if they did vote (in large numbers). The GOP brand has been poison to black people in general for a very long time and shows up in all sorts of anecdotal ways. We don't have definitive proof, sure, but we don't have definitive proof of most things.

    The Biden Usurpation is Now Withholding Precision-Guided Bombs From Israel (Which Will Force Them to Use "Dumb Bombs," Resulting In More Civilian Deaths (both Real and Fake), Which They Will Then Blame Israel For

    Boy oh boy are leftwingers smart and intellectual and all the good things!

    Especially Joe "The Professor" Biden himself. He's America's greatest living foreign policy mastermind, did you know that?

    My word as a Biden, it's true, I'm not joking.

    The Biden administration is holding up shipments of two types of Boeing-made precision bombs to send a political message to Israel, according to a U.S. official and six other people with knowledge of the deliberations.

    The U.S. has yet to sign off on a pending sale of Boeing's Joint Direct Attack Munitions -- both the munitions and kits that convert them to smart weapons -- and Small Diameter Bombs, according to six industry and congressional sources with knowledge of the discussions.

    While the Biden administration has not formally denied the potential sale, it is essentially taking action through inaction -- holding off on approvals and other aspects of the weapons transfer process -- to send a message to Israel, a U.S. administration official familiar with the process told POLITICO. The official, along with others, was granted anonymity to discuss sensitive internal deliberations.

    This appears to be the first time the U.S. administration has delayed a potential weapons sale for Israel since Hamas attacked the country on Oct. 7. President Joe Biden has been under pressure from some in his party to set conditions on aid to Israel after the Israeli bombing campaign in Gaza began to exact a heavy toll on civilians, and after Israel hit humanitarian convoys delivering aid to the enclave.

    Biden hid this Hamas-helping move from Congress. Of course The Professor did.

    The Biden administration hid information about its decision to pause U.S. arms sales to Israel from Congress, sparking a probe led by two GOP senators, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.
    FreeBeacon
    Progressive Florida Dems Push To Cancel Fetterman Speech Over Support for Israel
    Read more

    Senators Joni Ernst (R., Iowa) and Ted Budd (R., N.C.), in a letter sent Monday evening to the White House, are asking the administration to immediately inform Congress about what types of ammunition are being withheld from Israel and why. The pause in these ammo shipments was approved last week, but only became publicly known over the weekend when the decision was leaked to Axios. The Biden administration is holding up shipments of two types of Boeing-made precision bombs to send a political message to Israel, one U.S. official told Politico.

    "We are shocked that your administration has reportedly decided to withhold critical ammunition to Israel," the senators wrote, according to a copy of the letter obtained by the Free Beacon. "You promised your commitment to Israel was ironclad. Pausing much-needed military support to our closest Middle Eastern ally signals otherwise."

    The senators say the White House "failed to notify Congress about this decision," leaving lawmakers to learn of the decision from press reports. The letter signals mounting GOP concern with the Biden administration's increasingly hostile stance toward Israel as it launches an offensive campaign into the Gaza Strip's Rafah neighborhood, which the United States has lobbied against. The reported halt in ammunition sales is being viewed as a sign the Biden administration is caving to pressure from anti-Israel advocates in the Democratic Party who want to see the Jewish state isolated.

    Meanwhile, Fire Marshall Jamaal (as a commenter called him) is rallying for Hamas with the CAIR leader who called himself "happy" to see Hamas murder and rape raids.

    When they show you who they are, you should probably believe them. That tried-and-true bit of wisdom should be applied to "squad" member Congressman Jamaal Bowman of New York. Over the weekend, Bowman attended a fundraiser that was put on for him at a private home in Fairfax, Virginia. There's nothing unusual about House members hitting fundraisers during an election year, but this one was hosted by Nihad Awad, the national director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). In case you're not familiar with Awad, he is one of the people who came out shortly after the October 7 terror attacks and said that he was "happy" to see the people of Gaza "breaking their shackles" and storming into Israel. And here we have a member of the House from New York hanging out with him and leveraging him for fundraising purposes.

    Can't wait for the Jake Tapper lecture about why this is really all my fault.

    Set aside issues of supply, cost, righteousness or other practical considerations.

    If the United States' position is that "civilian casualties" must be minimized or that the current war is unjust, then this makes no sense. There are two courses of action that would make sense in that case:
    1. Withdraw support entirely. We don't support the mission, and will not help.
    2. Emphasize and accelerate higher-quality weapons that are more precise and minimize collateral damage.

    Depending on the actual goal, either is a consistent policy position. As usual, however, Washington picks neither.

    I'm always skeptical when squeamish militaries like USA and Israel use precision bombs. What it usually means is pinprick attacks on purely military targets with the prime directive being few casualties. That's not how you win wars -- especially against 7th century cannibal savages with no actual, centralized military.

    Israel is gonna get blamed for 855 million child deaths anyway. What difference does it make how many they actually kill? So KILL THEM ALL.

    Sigh.

    They aren't "being withheld." That's the point. They are simply *not* being released. They didn't take an action to withhold, they just took no action to release. These people write laws (or pretend to) for a living, so I assume that they know this. It's a meaningless distinction in reality, but an important one in terms of the bureaucratic folderol that fuels everything in Washington.

    32 There is a ceasefire on the table.

    Remember, Hamas changed the terms of the "ceasefire" - the earlier proposal was that Israel would exchange 33 Palestinian terrorists for one hostage.

    Hamas changed that to exchange 33 Palestinian terrorists for one hostage "alive or dead", which reinforces the suspicion that Hamas doesn't want a cease-fire, because Hamas would have to acknowledge that almost all the hostages are dead.

    Netanyahu's war in Gaza has forced over a million Palestinians to seek safety in Rafah. An invasion of the city would be catastrophic for civilians with no where else to go. We need a ceasefire, the return of hostages, and massive amount of humanitarian aid.

    54 because Hamas would have to acknowledge that almost all the hostages are dead.

    This is important politically, because there are large demonstrations organized allegedly by the families of the hostages pressuring Bibi to accept Hamas' terms to get the hostages back.

    If the hostages are already dead, that pressure on Bibi goes away, which would be bad for Hamas - so Hamas won't acknowledge that.

    Answer: They refuse to wear one.

    Under all laws of war, civilians are legal targets when they willingly hide and aid soldiers not in uniform.
    That they refuse to leave the combat zone is their confession they are aiding and hiding enemy soldiers.

    118 From the first link (Politico):
    The news comes after a dizzying 48 hours of developments in the Israel-Hamas conflict. In response to a rocket attack by Hamas over the weekend that killed Israeli soldiers, Israel on Monday ordered 100,000 civilians in Rafah to evacuate a section of the city and move toward a safe zone on the coast.

    One of these things is not like the other. See if you can figure it out. Politico apparently can't.

    121 111 What does the official uniform of a Hamas soldier look like?
    Answer: They refuse to wear one.

    Under all laws of war, civilians are legal targets when they willingly hide and aid soldiers not in uniform.
    That they refuse to leave the combat zone is their confession they are aiding and hiding enemy soldiers.
    Engaging directly themselves in combat.

    There are no civilian casualties in Gaza: Only wounded and dead enemy soldiers.

    140 In the Arab mind, "humiliation" is the worst thing one can do to a man, and about the worst thing a man can suffer.

    A humiliated Arab becomes, essentially, a non-person in his village and tribe. It's Cancel Culture on steroids.

    Israel becoming a Nation in 1948 was THE HUMILIATION to the Arab Nations. Fortunately, after many years of behind the scenes WORK, Israel had built bridges into such Arab nations that learned the truth: Israel wasn't their enemy, but Iran sure as hell WAS.

    And then came Trump, moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, and the Abraham Accords. Which, oddly enough, didn't even give one tiny shit about "Palestine".

    Moar Humiliation. And now, the ONLY remaining answer to END the Palestinian problem, is UTTER, COMPLETE and ETERNAL humiliation to the entire Gazan population.

    Rafah must be flattened, and such survivors as remain, scattered to the winds. Gaza must become an Empty Quarter, for generations yet to come.

    I agree. It's not the best way. The best way is to kill at least 10x that amount. Hamas is never gonna be truly defeated so long as it has an endless pipeline of new recruits from kids growing into terrorists and women dumping out the next gen of kids growing into terrorists.

    Every other building in Gaza is probably a UN or Western NGO stealing the wheat and giving the chaff on to Gaza. Probably the arms come from Iran, but I wouldn't bet much on weapons coming in that way too.

Americans trying to keep a roof over their head, utilities going and food on the table. Americans are faced with a historic influx of illegal aliens from all over the world blanketing their communities.

    So fuck off Judas - you chose your side and it isn't on the side of law abiding Americans who love their county.

    I am reminded of the time the pilot was taxiing out of view of the tower when he called in for a time hack. The tower called back and asked what kind of pilot was he. The pilot was enraged and shot back what difference did it make, the time is the time? Tower replies: it dictates how we respond, sir. For instance, if you are a commercial airline pilot, it is 3 pm. If you are USAF, it’s 1500. If you are USN. It’s six bells, if you are an Army pilot, the big hand points at the 12 and the little hand points at the 3. And if you are a USMC pilot, it’s Thursday afternoon.”

    335 IIRC there are "kits" that use fins and/or wings plus a GPS module that can be fitted to most bombs to make them "smart." Drones are basically this, but smaller/lighter and powered. Israel has both. Probably in quantities sufficient to end this whenever they want.

    I think the entire story is horseshit. The US and Israel are using the topic to argue their respective positions on the war. It's a distraction for the task at hand which is killing Hamas fighters and supporters.

The closest thing you'll ever see an Arab do to working, is hanging around the street and trying to intimidate tourists into paying way too much for cheap trinkets. It's the world's armpit, and it's been that way for eternity because that's who they are. It's hard for me to believe they're a branch of the same race as my people.

    Kamala Harris Wows Nation with Debut of Entirely New Way to be Off-Putting

    Shrimp and grits!

    Vice President Kamala Harris only smirked and gave a sarcastic answer Monday to reporters' questions about Hamas saying it had accepted a cease-fire deal involving the bloody Mideast war.

    "Madam Vice President, Hamas says it accepted--," a reporter began as Harris exited Joe Louis Southern Kitchen in Detroit, Mich.

    "Shrimp and grits," Harris, 59, interjected with a grin as she pointed to her bag. "You wanted to know."

    16 The NYT ran a puff piece on her in January of 2019, prepping the groundwork for her inevitable rise to the frontrunner status of the Democrat Party.

    She rose to power within the CA Democrat power structure. She has close ties to Big Tech.

    That means that for years, the power brokers of Big Tech, the Democrat Party (all the way up to Obama and Jarrett), their mouthpieces at the major newspapers, and Big Money met her, talked with her, took in her wisdom, and still decided that she was ideal for power.

    Either, they're all REALLY stupid, or having someone who can say platitudes badly before descending into nonsense is the exact kind of figurehead the powers that be actively want.

    Kamala was the first choice until Tulsi punched her in the mouth. Then the money went from Kamala to Beto to Buttigieg to Warren (the order may be slightly off). They only settled on Biden when he 1. wouldn't go away, continuing to retain is second in the race position against Bernie no matter what, and 2. no one else gained traction for more than a week in any poll.

    It was either Bernie or Biden by Super Tuesday. Biden was a last resort to beat Bernie.

    She did that thing you do with grits. You don't chew them, you sort of munge them. She swallowed her mouthful of grits, paused, and said, "we didn't have this in New England."

    219 I will make grits for you! Anyone thinking they are tasteless or mushy or like cream of wheat needs to visit any one of us who lives in the Deep South. I personally am not a fan of a bunch of stuff in my grits, I am a purist. Slow cooked grits, butter, salt, pepper. Heaven. If anything, maybe a fried egg where the yolk can run into the grits (but it’s me, so that egg would probably be poached).

    316 From Insty's...

    TRUMP’S TAX CUTS MAY DECIDE 2024 ELECTION: Remember President Donald Trump’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), the massive reduction in federal levies negotiated between him and the then-Republican Congress? The acr0ss-the-board tax cuts included in that law expire next year, but the political reverberations could be a major factor in the outcome of this November’s election.

    Check out the Tax Foundation’s analysis of the state-by-state amount that individual levies will increase for all taxpayers if the TCJA is not renewed. When everybody in, for example, Texas realizes their federal taxes are going up by on average $2,919 if something isn’t done, they aren’t going to be happy. Same for a key swing state like Michigan where the hike will be more than $2,000 per taxpayer on average.

    Expect Trump and his allies to be talking about this a lot in the days ahead.

    323 mainly at our house when I was a wee tad it was oatmeal and occasionally cream of wheat.

    Grits never made it to the breakfast table but showed up in later years when Mom made Veal Medallions with cheese grits or BBQ Shrimp with Cheese Grits.

    We kids talked her into buying Maypo and Malt-O-Meal. Wholley Kau was that some horrible shit!

    When I worked on the oil rigs off the coast of Louisiana, grits were there every day. They were alright. But, between the eggs, bacon, sausage, breakfast steaks, sausage gravy and biscuits, pancakes, waffles, toast, French toast, cereal, fresh fruit, fresh-made donuts, etc, etc, etc. They didn't make it onto my plate too often.

    Man, those were great breakfasts!!!

    They won't be happy, but that doesn't matter.

    I increasingly believe that people generally don't vote policy. They may vote *a* policy - the "single-issue voter" - but generally, not policy as such or a platform.

    The people who will notice this are "tax voters." Everyone else will just complain about taxes when they go up later. That might create some more transactional "tax voters," but then it will be back to team sports as soon as it's done.

    So payrolls will increase, but work done will not, or will not increase much. I hope Maine likes its higher construction costs, filtered through the maw of government so as to hide it.

    I've been through this in my industry (high tech). A woman with a pulse and even a loose interest gets hiring preference over a man. "We need more women in tech!" Even then, there are comparatively few takers.

    It also leads to a larger payroll. For every, say, five or six positions for qualified people, there will be seven hires. Underqualified people aren't as productive as qualified people. If you need three people but have to hire 1-3 underqualified people to fill the quota, you're going to hire 4 people if you can swing it, preferably another truly qualified person so it doesn't cripple you.

    There are plenty of women in construction. Just not doing any of the actual physical labor, for obvious reasons. The back offices are almost all women. A good percentage of field inspectors and the like are also women.

    By the time I was in high school, there weren't many girls interested in being part of a troop. The ones who were in my neck of the woods loved going camping, and I HATED camping.

    Camping can mean so many things. Ultralight backpacking camping can be pretty rough. Driving up to a designated camping spot and leaving most of your gear in the car until you need it is much easier and can be much more enjoyable. Some people even go so far as calling renting a cabin, "camping." You may consider trying out an easier level of camping to see if you like it.

    The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

    punk-monkey.jpg

    Spare me the deeply disingenuous rhetoric from the vast media apologia of the "Pro-Palestine" protesters. The thinly supported argument that anti-Zionism has nothing to do with the rabid Jew-hate that is being plainly, openly, proudly expressed, is factually nonsensical, and simply proof proof that Jew-hate exists and is now mainstream.

    Protesters disrupt Auschwitz March of the Living on Yom HaShoah

    Pro-Palestinian activists staged a protest at the annual March of the Living in Poland on Holocaust Remembrance Day.

    The activists went to Auschwitz to protest the march, which is held each year to pay respects to victims of the holocaust and chanted "stop genocide" and waved Palestinian flags at attendees.

    The march was attended by survivors of the Holocaust as well as those who survived the October 7 attacks on Israel.

    Images show some protesters wearing yellow badges resembling the stars that Nazis forced Jews to wear.

    Aside from the ancient historical animus, we have two additional sources for anti-Semitism: the post-modern fixation on victim-hood, and the cultural and religious hatred of Jews by Arabs and Muslims. Of course post-modernism simply feeds into the traditional Jew-hate of the left, and gives it an additional point of purchase.

    Sadly for Israel and worldwide Jewry, the left is expert at manipulation of the masses, and social media has given them an incredibly powerful tool. Now they can reach the mushy-brained, apolitical, ignorant college freshmen who used to be obsessed with confounding mommy and daddy with their disheveled dress and weird boyfriends/girlfriends. Now they can be part of a worldwide network of similarly ignorantly disaffected youth who are part of a concerted effort by the hard left to de-legitimize Israel, and deplatform Jews!

    The fact that they have no understanding of the issues, and can't name the river or the sea means nothing to them. They are fighting the power! They are questioning authority! How exciting!

    Israel and some Jews are fighting back, using social media to counter the baldly ahistoric claims. But it is a long road, and they are far behind. Absent a significant political change, the next generation of Jews, both in Israel and around the world will have to contend with the rise of what can only be described as 21st Century Nazism.

    The traditional resistance to that sort of sentiment must change. It seems to be changing in Israel, where a mostly united populace has resisted the leftist calls for accommodation. In the West it is a slower process, but American Jews (Europe is almost certainly lost to the Muslim hordes) must fight back with different tools, and must reevaluate the traditional connection to the Democrat party. The liberals who once controlled it have been subsumed in a sea of hard-left sensibilities that are savagely opposed to Jews, Judaism, and Israel.

    What are the new tools?

    Physical Self defense. One-issue voting (unequivocally support Israel and Jews, or lose the Jewish vote). Deny all financial support to the new Nazis in academia.

    Sounds simple, but it isn't.

    26 About that attractive, well-groomed, normal-looking girl putting on lipstick using a riot police shield . . . .

    The idea that she was a pro-Hamas terror whore is nuts. Literally every "woman" at these pro-terror riots is a fugly farm animal. I've yet to see a single even marginally attractive female at any of these riots.

    The men are just as creepy and hideous, and overwhelmingly know their way around someone else's dick.

    The only "lipstick" any of these mutants ever put on was around their assholes.

    And what's the big deal anyway? So what if she's putting on lipstick? She's still obeying the police by not trying to break the line or otherwise causing a nuisance.

    Are we supposed at the point where a woman is somehow a Queen Slay sticking it to The Man merely by making a meaningless gesture while acting politely and obediently?

    35 There is Israel the (mostly) Jewish nation, and then there are "the Jews". Yes, the hate for Israel overlaps with the hate for Jews. But as with Schumer and a host of others, not all that call themselves Jewish are really "Jews".

    The Apostle Paul said in Romans 9: " For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: 7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. 8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.

    "What are the new tools?" Maybe the old tools. (So be it.)

    Is this what we're up against? Opinion, Civil Society, WEF, 'How to successfully orchestrate collective action,' May 6, 2024

    (One point of the WEF opinion piece) 'The way forward for collective action'

    At Harvard, we were introduced to the notion, “Power derives from controlling access to resources others value.”

    For collectives, the power and impact comes from sharing these valued resources among the actors. Thus, only by embracing principles of empowerment, inclusion, accountability, and innovation, NGOs and governments can orchestrate effective collective action.

    This also enables us to build stronger, more resilient communities capable of addressing complex challenges like education equity, even in our absence in the future.

    No matter, G*d help us to keep standing.

    52 I object to this idea (from an article this morning) that Jews are the "canary in the coal mine" and the first target of the commie Left.

    They may want to have a talk with Christians, Whites and Men first. All targets of the commie Left.

    They are only coming for Jews now because those other groups were already shut up and down.

    This is not to minimize any actual victimhood, obviously. But until you recognize the tactic and the operation, you can't do anything about it. To posit that Jews are first is a laugh. Christ was being dumped in buckets of piss decades ago while American Jews were enjoying a very fruitful time indeed.

    77 Aside from the ancient historical animus, we have two additional sources for anti-Semitism: the post-modern fixation on victim-hood, and the cultural and religious hatred of Jews by Arabs and Muslims. Of course post-modernism simply feeds into the traditional Jew-hate of the left, and gives it an additional point of purchase.
    ++++
    And the oldest cause of all: scapegoating.

    Nothing hurts as much as to hear, "you are reaping what you have sown. The world of ruin that surrounds you is your fault. It is not your fault in totality, but you have contributed to it. If you want it to change, you must change your behavior."

    That sucks. That is kryptonite. That can destroy the self. So external causes *must* be found. The best external cause is what it always is: a minority within. Jews, witches, etc. sowing destruction and ruining the plans and ambitions of the majority. Jews are historically convenient (outside of religious war or fervor, which is its own phenomenon) because they are *always* a minority within.

    Another very important tool - recognize who are True Friends, and who are True Enemies. For a long time now, Jews (in America especially) have gotten this completely backwards, despising those who would fight with them, and supporting those (like the BLM mobs) who want to do them harm.

    90 CAIR and the Palestinians in the US joined BLM early on (Ferguson riots, if not earlier). They likened the struggle of blacks in America to Palestinians is Israel. This progression was always going to happen.

    And no doubt the billions of dollars donated to BLM organizations in summer of 2020 and beyond have been shared with pro-"Palestine" and pro-Hamas organizations.

    A brush with death can have that effect. "I was {tired|drunk|distracted|etc} and nearly died. Can't be doing that again!"

    Or it doesn't happen, in which case it likely *won't* happen. Like dogs and porcupines. I had a dog that had a run-in with a porcupine and ended up with a face full of quills. Off to the vet. The vet showed us how to remove them safely after he said, "Some dogs have this happen and never go near a porcupine again. Some dogs have this happen and become obsessed, and will go after a porcupine every time no matter what. If your dog is one of those, you need to know how to do this."

    The dog was one of the latter type. He couldn't resist the porcupine. Some people are like that, too, and will not change causal behavior. For the ones who aren't, that kind of disaster tends to be a lasting lesson. I hope she is one of the ones who aren't.

    I was with the author right up to this point:

    The education system is failing as an institution to teach these wannabe Red Guards why this behavior is wrong. The media is failing as an institution to tell people the truth about what is happening. The government, mostly in deep blue areas, is failing as an institution to live up to its part of the social contract in protecting people from these criminal mobs.

    They are not 'failing.' They are doing this by design, and if you can't bring yourself to admit that, then you're never going to get past the 'why can't we all get along?' wooly-headedness.

    The truest thing Trump ever said was that the media are the enemy of the people. Too bad it was only a sick joke.

    150 140 There has been a good thread on X by a Jewish woman raised in the Reform movement about how totally corrupt, anti-Israel, and non-Jewish (in any real sense) Reform Judaism has become. Sadly, this movement still amounts for most who call themselves Jews in America, but not in Israel It is all Progressive Politics, all the time, and to go against Progressive Dogma is to go against the core of their identity.
    The Orthodox are completely different.

    That's been my assumption for a while.

    Reform Jews are progressives. Ethnic Jews who don't recognize their religion are progressives.

    The ones who keep to their religion tend to be more conservative.

    The Reform and ethnic form of Judaism seems to have a complex relationship with its own sense of identity, being both like everyone else and an oppressed minority at the same time.

    Sort of. Conservative is the second-oldest movement since the schism in the 19th century. Prior to that, there were two categories: what today we call "orthodox" and the non-practicing Jews.

    A bunch of people got together and said, "there is a middle ground between cloistered or stand-offish orthodoxy and not practicing at all. We can practice *and* integrate." The Reform movement was born. What became the Conservative movement looked at Reform and said, "you're on the right track, but you went too far." What became the Reconstructionist movement looked at Reform and said, "you're on the right track, but you didn't go too far enough."

    Conservative Judaism's problem is likely that it's too close to Orthodox. If you're going to go that far, why not go the whole distance? I disagree with this, for what it's worth, and I think the Conservative sect is valuable, but it may be a prevailing attitude.

    202 In re vocational training, the current jargon is Career/Technical Training. The community college where I now live has a range of programs of various durations, and they have a high success rate in job placement. Courses in semi-truck driving, welding, industrial and architectural design, machine shop, electronics, computer programming - the list could go on and on.

    And they make it work. The students taking those courses (and to be fair, their counterparts in academic majors) can't pass Fundamentals of Math, which is a combination of basic math plus what used to be called Beginning Algebra. But the Career/Technical instructors are able to get them to master those skills and apply them successfully to their area of specialization. Partnerships with local industry and state support virtually guarantee jobs.

    Career/Technical is the way to go for so many students, and that awareness is growing. The Math results I mentioned earlier also indicate that K-12 is not getting the job done in STEM courses, despite those being the focus of special attention and the recipient of most funding. Remediation is what most colleges and universities have to focus on.

    228 The U.S. Secret Service investigated a Maine man for doing no more than making jokes about the Bidens.

    “The Secret Service didn’t identify actual threats to Biden or his family, instead predicating the case on what it called the man’s ‘unusual interest’ in the family. This ‘unusual interest,’ however, appeared to be comprised of nothing more than obvious jokes that were critical of Biden,” according to an analysis published by The Daily Signal. “Zero comments by the Twitter user suggested a serious intent to engage in violence, according to the Secret Service documents released to the Oversight Project.”

    Thank you. This is exactly it. If Leftism is your religion, that is how you will vote. It is much more predictive than whatever religion you grew up in.
    I think the reason why most Jews grew up in D households could be summed up by something my mother used to say. My very nonpolitical mother.
    She said "If it wasn't for them, it would be us".
    She was referring to people of color. At that time, most people thought that the Dems were the good guys helping the downtrodden and it was the Republicans who were standing in the way being the rich elite.

    The professorial Nazis have expressed direct sympathy and agreement with mass murder of Israelis and Jews. There is no historical or other reason not to take them at their word.

    Denying financial support is the least of it. Treating them as brown shirts and potential mass murderers is in the cards.

    One start is to place students loyal to conservative values in their classrooms with concealed recording devices. Another is hiring private detectives to monitor what these professors are up to in their spare time.

    3. I'm White. Arabs ain't White. Neither are Indians.
    4. The Senate Bill making it a crime to blood libel Jews. Saint Paul, author of much of the New Testament, the Apostle to the Gentiles, bluntly said that Jews killed Jesus.

    Which saying in certain areas, if the Bill passes, will be illegal in the USA. I could quote the First Amendment, and ask what sort of tyrannical madness this is.

    I could. But no, the problem is deeper. Who will I obey? Jews? or Jesus? Put that way, its not even a question. And if you don't like the fact that Jews killed Jesus, then you can take it up with the Author of the Universe.

    And if you want to thoroughly piss off the Southern Evangelicals who have been the best friends of the Jew for over a century, this is a good way to do it. We know you need Jesus the Messiah, but this will convince them you need a punch to the jaw.

    54 From Wiki:

    Art historians have sometimes seen the painting's treatment of Venus and Mars as a broader commentary on gender, showing femininity ultimately conquering masculinity. Venus, goddess of love, is here equated with femininity, emotionality, and pleasure. Mars, god of war, stands for the masculine ideals of strength and determination. The triumph of Venus, according to this interpretation, shows the capacity of emotions and pleasure to overcome strength and determination.

    118 I don't usually associate Jacques-Louis David with a sense of humor but there is a playfulness in this painting that underlies the brilliant use of mythology, color and detail. Given the brightness and size of the painting it must have been startling to the viewers.

    In a strange way I don't care for the painting. David's technique is so smooth in this one, with no hint of brush strokes, it removes some of the artist's hand work. This could almost be a photo of a scene rather than a painting. That takes away some of its appeal for me.

    Slamming the front door behind him, the boyfriend charged into the room to see a frightened Clara in the altogether, trying to cover herself with the bedsheets. Looking around for the bedroom miscreant, the boyfriend pounded on the closet door - "Come out of there, you cocksucker! I'm going to kick your ass ten ways from Sunday!"

    The closet door opened and who should come out, face red and dressed only in his BVDs?

    All prisons like Gitmo did was to allow the terrorists to network. Release them and they go back to it just like a dog and its vomit.

    That is one of the problems with the left--locking them up a few years won't cure them no more than locking criminals up. When let out, they will simply resume what they did that put them there in prison in the first place.

    There is a reason that a lot of rulers in the past seem to be monsters by killing a lot of potential challengers. In part, society let them do it at the time as preferable to interminable civil war which inevitably hurt civilians to the power struggle worse.

    The DU zombies were still warbling about the success of Bidenomics last week. Guess they'll need some reprogramming.

    "Eggs aren't as bad as they were. Biden fixed inflation. Also inflation is a myth. Also, inflation is just a result of greedy corporations taking profits. Also, Biden is helpless to stop inflation. Also, wage growth is outpacing inflation. Also, it's good that inflation is happening so that people consume less for Gaia."

    282 Social Security and Medicare will run out of money in just over a decade, a new report warned Monday...project that Social Security will be insolvent by 2035, and Medicare by 2036, which would force benefit cuts.

    I heard that some cutbacks might be needed by 2035, but not insolvency. How about letting the Feds pay back what they've stolen from their convenient piggybank?

    They been saying this shit for 50 years.

    Social Security is an easy fix. Just raise the limit of income that can be taxed. 500K would get the job done for the foreseeable future. Medicare's a bit more complicated, but future funding can be assured if the Democrats gain control of both Houses of Congress plus the White House. Cuts in these vital programs should never happen.

    Reagan created a wealth gap. There isn't a law that states we cannot undo it. Tax corporate capital gains, siphon from inheritances, and tighten corporate tax avoidance schemes.

    The stock drop, I assume, is because the gains were already baked into the price and the overall loss in revenue.

    Please list your ideas that do NOT include more taxes.
    Posted by: Archimedes
    ========
    Social Security can be fixed relatively easily by a combination of tax hikes and raised age for retirement. It is Medicare that is effectively out of control and fixing that will require much higher taxes or vast cuts in it.

    Medicaid is under the general budget and is also exploding due to Obamacare and nursing home care. Took about 728 billion in total federal and state spending last year and that also hikes your state tax bill as states have to finance about 30 percent of it.

    Don't know about the rest of you 'rons, but the most difficult aspect for me witnessing the exponentially-increasing & intentional destruction of virtually every Western virtue, value, institution, and artifact over the past four years -- and being a male who's natural inclination is to ACT and to PROTECT and FIGHT BACK when the enemy has drawn first blood (not to mention a bit of a control freak) -- is not being able to ACT in any effective way on my own (aside from prepping and keeping my finger on the pulse of insanity).

    This is why I wish Trump or another leader of our movement would "unite the clans" and engage tens of millions of patriots to ACT -- whether it's targeted or national strikes, or whether it's millions of acts of Irish Democracy.

    The Morning Report — 5/7/24

    gumpumpster.jpg

    Good morning, kids. Joe Biden has full-blown dementia. Yet, speaking of full and blown, what in the actual hell is Chlamydia Harris' excuse?

    “Madam [fake] Vice President, Hamas says it accepted a ceasefire deal…” the reporter began.

    “Shrimp and grits. Is that what you wanted to know?” Harris said.

    Hamas, a U.S.-designated Islamic terror organization, announced on Monday that it had agreed to a ceasefire proposal.

    Israeli officials responded to Hamas begging for a ceasefire, claiming that the deal Hamas was agreeing to was “not the same proposal” that Israel and Egypt had previously agreed upon, adding that “all kinds of clauses” were added.

    The news came hours after the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) dropped leaflets warning residents in Rafah, located in the southern Gaza Strip, to evacuate and go to “safe” zones.

    In any case, the IDF has begun its final push on what is likely the last Hamas redoubt in Gaza. Should all of this have been done much earlier? Could all of this have been done much earlier? And the ultimate question is could 10/7 have been prevented in the first place? There are a number of factors to consider when grappling with those questions: the unquenchable desire to live in peace that can and often does blind Israel to the equally unquenchable desire of Islam to slit the throat of every Jew on the planet.

    The former has led Israel to go above and beyond any armed force and nation in history to attempt to spare the lives of "non-combatants." Knowing this full well, the latter intentionally uses "non-combatants" as cannon-fodder, wanting them to be killed in order to gain a strategic advantage vis a vis international opinion far outweighing the rivers of Jewish, and its own, blood it spills.

    I put the phrase "non-combatants" in quotes because unless one is a crawling, non-verbal infant under the age of perhaps 4 or 5, these individuals have aided and abetted in the initial attack and barbarism perpetrated on Israel on 10/7 because they are adherents of Islam. Not radical Islam, not fundamentalist Islam but Islam as it has been preached and practiced since Mohammed raped his 9-year-old wife way back when in the original dark ages.

    The evil unleashed on 10/7, on top of the body count in both wars and acts of terrorism perpetrated by Islamic nation states and terrorists since the re-establishment of the state of Israel in its modern form in 1948, means nothing. "The World's Oldest Hatred" not just from Islam but sadly as a 2,000-year-old relic of western antipathy and hatred, which was the seed from which the godless totalitarians of modern Leftism, has kept it alive and burning unto today. Perhaps brighter than we had ever thought possible considering the events of 1933-1945.

    Robert Zimmerman, Larry Elder and Alexander Markovsky have quite good and in some cases sobering to depressing analyses along these lines and I recommend each of these essays.

    On a positive note, at least one that I hope takes hold in Israel's leadership and more importantly, its society at large is that all of the considerations of the past must go out the window when it comes to national survival. Sadly, recognizing that the junta in power over here is no longer an ally and is likely acting in concert with its, Israel's, mortal enemies, then they must not allow the US nor the always-feckless EU to dictate policy. The latter is well on the way to becoming subsumed by the global caliphate and unless we reverse course radically, and fast, we're not that far behind them.

    Wiping out Hamas is crucial but long-term it will not be enough. Handing the Gazans the keys and withdrawing will not lead to the strip magically turning into another Singapore. Hell, that was supposedly Beirut many many decades ago and look what happened there for nearly the past 50 years.

    Israel must maintain control of Gaza including its educational system. The entire population especially the younger generations must be deprogrammed and deNazified. How you do that by demanding the abolition of the teaching of the Koran or its editing out of the juicier bits of Jew-hatred is a conundrum, to say the least.

    Of course, the same must happen over here in terms of the brainwashing of the past several generations of America's children, who now run the show and the prevention of same of future generations.

    Finally, longtime Texas Democrat Henry Cuellar has been indicted by Lavrenty Garland's DOJ.

    Is Cuellar guilty? Considering his political party and that he has been in public office for many years, it's highly likely. But that's not the issue. The indictment is most likely because Cuellar, being Latino and Democrat has committed the unforgivable apostasy of going against Leftist dogma by being very loudly critical of the Biden Junta's erasure of our border. If he had only toed the Leftist line or just kept his fat yap shut, he could've kept his grift going forever. Like every other loyal Democrat who remains untouchable and above the law (mostly because they control the law, how it is applied and to whom).

    For that heresy, he has to go the way of Bob Menendez. Were it not for double standards, the Dems would have none.

      ABOVE THE FOLD, BREAKING, NOTEWORTHY

    • Kurt Schlichter: "A habit mixed up with personal identity."
      SHOT: Will Jewish Voters Stop Voting for the Democrats Who Want to Kill Them?
    • Dennis Prager: "Psychopathology and left-wing ideology are the two primary explanations for why Jews such as those in groups like 'Jewish Voice for Peace' and 'IfNotNow' willingly serve as useful idiots for those who wish to exterminate the Jewish state and the Jewish people. Including them."
      CHASER: Sick Jews
    • Michael Walsh: ". . . conservatives need to understand that handing the abortion club back to the Left is political suicide. . . To lose the White House over an issue that's already been constitutionally decided is lunacy."
      On Abortion, Take the Win and Move On
    • Glenn H. Reynolds: "In Brazil, starting in the 1960s and continuing on and off until the present, we wound up seeing 'death squads' deal out vigilante justice that the legal system couldn’t, or wouldn’t deliver, with predictably bad results. We’re not in danger of that in New York, yet, but Alvin Bragg, both through his overreach aimed at Trump, and his no-prosecution approach to many genuine criminals, is moving us closer."

    43 In any case, the IDF has begun its final push on what is likely the last Hamas redoubt in Gaza. Should all of this have been done much earlier? Could all of this have been done much earlier?"

    I have been very supportive of the IDF plans and tactics, but in hindsight Israel did make at least one huge strategic error in the conduct of this war. It should have started with a surge across the north of the strip at the same time as a big push across south and the Philadelphia Corridor, ie Rafah. Then all Hamas assets could have been pushed from both ends into the middle; there would have been no smuggling problem, no conflict with Egypt (which behind the scenes has been huge), and this war would have been over by Feb 1. Instead, they pushed 1.2 million Gazans into Rafah with no plan as to what to do with them, which has been the cause of 3 months of inaction, a mistake that did not have to happen.

All of the weapons Hamas has been using for the last 4 months have been resupply coming through the Egyptian tunnels into Rafah. (There is a tunnel/underground complex underneath Rafah as big as anything they've found so far)

    68 There is a tunnel/underground complex underneath Rafah as big as anything they've found so far

    Judging from the time and effort it took to destroy the complex in central Gaza, it may have been the logical choice to save the Rafah complex for last. Alternatively, they could have just destroyed Rafah from day one and pinched Hamas as you describe. I think the Israelis looked at the assets they had, the logistics they could bring to bear, and the human aspects, and decided to give Rafah a pass, knowing the population would move south.

    The easiest is don't use networks that you do not control for private information whether by VPN or not. Externally, if you have an Android device, VPNs don't have that DHCP rerouting problem and Linux, if properly configured via firewall, apparently can limit the problem to traffic analysis only---not content.

    75 Alexander G. Markovsky's opinion is interesting, but he's wrong about a couple of pretty big things. For one thing, Hamas has all but admitted that almost all of the remaining hostages are dead. (will be lucky if there are still 20 of the 120 or so missing still alive) That's why at the end game of the "negotiations" Hamas began offering to return bodies to Israel in exchange for prisoners. (that happened as negotiations broke down.) This is no longer about returning hostages, they're gone, it's just nobody wants to admit that publicly yet.

    The fundamental problem is still there: Israel is too small to go it alone. It needs an ally. If it's not going to be us or Europe, it's going to be Russia or Asia. In Asia, Red China likely isn't interested (it's courting the Arabs and the Persians), Japan, Korea and Taiwan have closer-to-home things to worry about, like Red China. There's still India, which is a possibility but likely not all that effective.

    So my money is on the old standby: Russia.

    We overrate Thatcher mostly because we look at her from a very American perspective. Although the working class in England had too much power when she got in, they were the backbone of the country, and she set about breaking them. I look at her very much as England's Obama.

    As far as Sunak it doesn't take much to outperform the rest of the clowns and I like what he is doing to try to stem a lot of the social bs the Marxists are foisting on the world.

    And if you are Dispensational and are convinced that this is future prophecy (not 70AD) this means that those who have synagogues will be persecuting Christians.

    Egypt’s Foreign Ministry in a statement condemned the Israeli operations in Rafah. Egyptian officials familiar with the matter said Israel had informed Cairo in advance about its plan to seize the Rafah crossing on the Gaza side and assured them it would be a targeted military operation. In turn, Egypt warned Israeli officials that any attempt to expand Israeli control across the Philadelphi Corridor wouldn’t be tolerated, the officials said, but they didn’t say what action Cairo would take if that happened.

    The sad fact is Jews as an entire nation and its adherents including their progeny who were not even born at the time of the crucifixion have been blamed for deicide. And that predates the coming of Islam. That on top of hatred of Hebrew and Israelites that goes back to ancient Egypt and Babylonia. Ergo, the world's oldest hatred that has fueled and continues to fuel anti-semitism to this day.

    It's not an attack on you nor your beliefs. I think the vast overwhelming majority of true Christians (not the Pelosis and Bidens) are philosemitic.

    That is almost diametrically opposed to what was going on in the UK at the time.

    The UK spent itself into bankruptcy during WWII and essentially became an invalid state that embraced socialism via 'incomes' policy, statism, and coordination of business and labor for wage increases. The system did not survive the oil shocks to the West and was tottering to the point that grave diggers were going on strike along with doctors and nurses during the winter before Thatcher's election.

    Thatcher was a necessary corrective to the socialism of the Labor and Wet Tories but like during Reagan, the inability of a lot of the country's businesses to be able to compete (in Britain's case with Germany in the EU) meant massive structural unemployment in the industrial heartland of England (as it did in the Rust Belt for the Reagan years).

    The UK is basically a case history of what happens when a country goes through a massive debt crisis (from WWI and WWII) and the consequences of financializing that debt. Ironically, the UK came out better during the Depression than did the US and that was primarily due FDR policies.

    There are decreasing numbers of wonderful lives and stable families. That's a driver of it. There is also a reduced probability of being able to form a stable family, which is another driver of it.

    The destruction of the family began in earnest in the 80s, and it has paid dividends. One of those dividends is the opening of the opportunity for Islam to take over, which I think it will do. Piecemeal, but it will get there. A third Great Awakening could constrain or even end that, but civil or legal actions will not.

    Most of the news we get including self interested news directly from Russia, Iran, and China, is probably false to some degree.

    Both Russia and Iran benefit from driving oil prices and keeping them up. China, on the other hand as a consumer doesn't and Russia and Iran depending on China creates its own set of problems.

    It is more an alliance of the disaffected from the West than sharing similar goals outside of ousting the US from global premiership.

    Doesn't mean bad necessarily for the US if we retrench strategically to match our finances but not so good for exposed allies. Japan is one of those that is actually stepping up for example and S. Korea has become a sudden powerhouse in supplying munitions across the globe.

    It's philosophically quite different. The political side of Islam - and the sides are intertwined, and Islam is quite theocratic and I suspect it must be, is totalitarian and brutal. It's nothing desirable for most.

    The religious side, however, is rule-bound and rigorous. It *can* provide meaning to its practitioners in a way that leftist political religion cannot. It is unabashedly spiritual. It doesn't dance around the idea of a god, it embraces it. It provides a code of values. Those values are awful, but it *has* them.

    Islam, bad as it is, can (and if it is not stopped by another faith, will) fill the "G-d shaped hole" in the heart of the West.

    292 With a Sense of Urgency: Holocaust course brings the past into the present

    New York’s Xavier High School is seeking to tackle this problem through their innovative new Holocaust studies program, a voluntary, non-class program spanning an entire semester. It focuses solely on the Holocaust—the event itself, its effects, the brave people who stood up to it and its implications for us today. The program aims to teach students the consequences of this genocide, and stress to the students that a populist, criminal movement like Nazism must never be allowed to gain power again.

    295 One man has seized the attention of America. He was backed by billionaires and right-wing organizations to whom democracy is a blockade to the world they want to own and rule.

    These people loudly backed Nazi Germany until Pearl Harbor. It took them decades to reach the point of being on the verge of seizing absolute power. Vote.

    Does Project 2025 mention returning to slavery? You know that's where they're headed. If it was good enough for the Founding Fathers then it's good enough for us, amirite Justice Alito?

    Forced labor in prisons is legal, so we have de facto slavery now. Project 2025 aims to repeal the Fair Labor Standards Act which provided for the minimum wage and overtime pay, gut anti-discrimination protections, require record-keeping, and child labor standards. It would prohibit the EEOC from gathering employment data based on race, making it practically impossible to prove discrimination in wages, promotions, or working conditions.

    "Project 2025" is code for Project 1825.

    When Biden wins count on MAGA chaos to toss the election to the House of Reps. That's why it's so important we gain the majority.

    Because it is working so well in the Middle East. Islam provides something other than Woke ideology, a transcendent moral/ethical/value code. In the Woke religion, what is halel is very fluid and is field expedient to suppressing those you don't like.

    The climate cult is at best pseudo-religious. It has some of those trappings for sure (and on purpose), but it isn't transcendental and it has no fixed values. It cannot succeed as a religion. It can succeed (and is succeeding for now) as a cult, but not as a religion. It will not have staying power because it doesn't provide what it needs to in order to be sustained.

    326 an analysis of today's operation found on X; I find it believable.
    "Rafah Operation Analysis: Hamas was not ready for the IDF to enter Rafah. They thought that their deception of the hostage deal would take some time for people to realize it was all fake, but Israel called it fast, and the IDF moved faster. The IDF targeted the Rafah crossing and took it over. Why did the Rafah Crossing first? This is a massive hit for Hamas. First, it's their main symbol and lifeline outside Gaza; it's also a huge money maker for them; they charge $5,000 for an adult and $2,500 for a child who is crossing to Egypt, and that is besides taxes on any trucks. Many of Hama's low-level leadership were near the crossing, getting ready to flee to Egypt, but the fast-moving IDF and the total collapse of the Hamas terrorists in the crossing have them now hiding inside Rafah. This is an enormous pressure point on Hamas leadership to come and make a deal (if there is any deal to make)."

    Doctrinaire libertarianism has the same problem that any other utopian scheme does in that it posits a community of people possessing virtues that do not exist in reality nor have ever really existed.

    Liberty in the older sense was confined to a set of rights and corresponding duties but the duties were to be enforced by social pressure rather than government and the phrase used by the Framers was ordered liberty. Religion was part of that 'order' along with family, tradition, and custom.

    So such a system of ordered liberty can create libertarian individuals but not lead to a viable libertarian society at the mass level. Unlike Marxists though, libertarian theory can act as a useful check on those on the Right and Left seeking state power to promote the 'order' part and forget the liberty party of the equation.

    Progressivism itself is a religion. Look at the mass worship of Bhussein. Look of the sacrifice of Women to feminism and transgenderism. Look at the prayers for the death of others much like the old religions of Baal calling for destruction of their perceived enemies.

    Blogger Bookworm had a cousin who was a prison chaplain. His assessment of why people convert to to Islam (in prison, but applicable elsewhere): it allows you to keep all your aner and hatred, etc. and use it to promote Islam. With Christianity you have to renounce sin, give up old ways and be a better person. With Islam, all they had to do is go from 'I kill' to 'I kill for Islam.'

    One can imagine how appealing that would be to Westerners - not having to change/be a better person, just change the source that animates your hatred and violence toward the West fostered by progressive ideology.

    This is a tired canard. Easy enough for Trump to rent a house somewhere in Alabama and change residency if he wishes. Cheney did that in 2000 by theoretically moving back to Wyoming from Texas.

    Basically the candidacy depends on the state of residence at the time of election. Easy enough to do nowadays as Trump owns multiple properties in multiple states and I doubt he is much worried about the homestead property tax exemption and the like. Doesn't discount rentals either as a residence.

    This is often an occurrence like when Alan Keyes was parachuted into the contest with Obama for the IL Senate.

    I've read his writings over the years and I am not impressed with his political acumen.

    Picking a VP depends on a host of factors, and not the least to avoid another Pence trying a coup and committing treachery on par with Aaron Burr behind their own party's president.

    It is more a choice for governance such as unifying a party or signifying recognition of a key voting group than the relatively rare circumstance that it actually can sway an election. Occasionally, it can hurt a party by showing incompetence in vetting like Thomas Eagleton being dropped from McGovern's campaign in 1972.

    As far as unifying the party, DeSantis is probably the front runner but I really do not think he will want it for a variety of reasons.

It cannot succeed as a religion. It can succeed (and is succeeding for now) as a cult, but not as a religion. It will not have staying power because it doesn't provide what it needs to in order to be sustained.

    I've been paying attention to politics since 09/12/2001 and I have heard things like this said by the right about pretty much everything the Marxist left has pushed on society and culture the last 2+ decades. And pretty much everything the right said would never happen and would fizzle out has done the exact opposite.

    They'll never succeed with "gay marriage", "transgenders" will never be pushed, they'll never get away with pushing LGBTQ+ stuff on children, child sexual mutilation will never be acceptable, they'll never push pedophilia as acceptable, the Green New Deal will never be passed.

    All those things have happened and more radical things keep getting pushed on culture and society. Seems like all this stuff has staying power.

    Yep. All you've got to do is teach it to the kids and in a generation it's gospel.

    410 Good morning, all, and thanks, J.J.

    “Madam [fake] Vice President, Hamas says it accepted a ceasefire deal…” the reporter began.
    “Shrimp and grits. Is that what you wanted to know?” Harris said.

    Don't know who's running the show but FJB & Crazy K are bit players, operating on cue.

    >Today, the President delivers the keynote address at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum’s Annual Days of Remembrance ceremony in Washington, D.C.

    And, FACT SHEET: Biden-⁠Harris Administration Ramps Up Actions to Counter Antisemitism on College Campuses and Protect Jewish Communities, May 07, 2024

    >WH, May 6th, Statement by Vice President Harris on Holocaust Remembrance Day

    And, at the WH, second gentleman, Doug Emhoff, hosted "a half-dozen Jewish students from colleges around the country amid a wave of pro-Palestinian campus protests criticized for featuring anti-Semitic behavior." The event, 'put together at Emhoff’s direction,' was to formally mark Holocaust Remembrance Day, too.

    In the meantime, the Veep was in MI getting local shrimp & grits from Joe Louis Southern Kitchen. Yo! The WH already issued the Holocaust Remembrance Day statement on her behalf.

    411 >WSB-TV, May 7th, ATLANTA — Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff will visit the metro Atlanta area on Tuesday.

    "The WH confirmed Emhoff is set to meet with small business owners. Men4Choice, a group that encourages men to become allies in the fight over abortion rights, also announced that Emhoff will attend its reproductive health care panel."

    So the Veep - according to prepared press briefings - is ramping up action, not only against Antisemitism on college campuses but also boosting affordable housing, while hubby does abortion rights in Fani's house.

    Dr. Jill will break free & head to Portland for a Thursday fundraising & then onto Arizona on Friday for an "education-focused campaign event" in Phoenix.

    Almost saints they are, while others do the dirty work, i.e.
    >MyNBC15, Maxine Waters warns Trump supporters prepping for 'civil war' if he loses 2024 election. " Trump’s supporters have also been training to attack communities if the former president loses the election, according to the congresswoman."

    >FoxNews, May 7th, 'Squad' member caught at fundraiser hosted by Islamic leader who praised Hamas attack on Israel.

    Standing w/Isreal, praying for the IDF & Hamas hostages.
